Starting point is 00:08:18 podcasters really yeah and that right there is carl tart and that right there is Carl Tart. And that right there. Carl Tart's actually close to it. He's creeping on a comma onto the A-list. But he's my first thought when I think of podcasters. Anyways, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We're going to talk about the story with the mass shooter in Illinois. It's kind of a similar story as far as I can tell. Failure of policing and failure to keep a gun out of the hand of somebody who is struggling with mental health. But Tugger Carlson's got a different take. So we're going to compare and contrast. Oh, does he? We're going to talk about CERN's particle accelerator, whether it threw us into another dimension on July 5th,
Starting point is 00:09:12 so two days ago. If you felt a little off, that could be why. All of that, plenty more. But first, Rachel, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Binoculars okay yeah i um i live on the water in queens uh which is you know kind of a rare piece of land over here very far from the subway but beautiful view of the east river and lots of boats pass by and i was like why am i not spying on these people this is silly i need binoculars yeah yeah you know binoculars get a bad bad rap for being you know a thing that
Starting point is 00:09:56 like i'm hoping you like bought them online because if you're in the city buying binoculars i think people probably like have a have a weird you know connect that to just peeping into somebody else's apartment quite the opposite i hope you did buy them and you wear them around your neck constantly keeping people on their toes just rubbing your fingers together exactly i'm a bird watcher what do you think what are they getting into well sometimes the police boats just stop in front of my building and i'm like what are they getting into well sometimes the police boats just stop in front of my building and i'm like what are you doing what are you looking at important people to keep an eye on yeah so i might want to pull out my binoculars i may have flashed them when i was drunk one night
Starting point is 00:10:37 so they may be coming back to see if i'll do it again but you know there you go nonetheless rhythm cops i don't know that's not a new york accent but i i feel like that would be a cool to see if I'll do it again. But, you know. There you go. Nonetheless. River cops. I don't know. That's not a New York accent. But I feel like that would be a cool thing to say you did for a living. Frickin' river cops. Like river cops. Get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:10:55 A great view of the East River. I lived for one year in Long Island City before. Like Long Island City went up like overnight like it was uh amish barn raising like there i i returned to get some packages from the building i lived in like a few months after we moved out and i like couldn't find the building because the like so many buildings and parks and like all these different things been had gone up in literally the weeks since i'd left but yeah when i lived there i had a great view of the east river which gives you a great view of manhattan and it is like one of the coolest things to just kind of have outside your window
Starting point is 00:11:38 is yeah yeah after living yeah i have i'm right I have the view of the Triborough and stuff and Hellgate Bridge. The thing that I thought was cool. Those bridges are big. You know. Those things are so big. Oh. You know what I'm saying? Marvels of human construction.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Yeah. Huge. Anyways. How do they stand up? Tremendous. How do they do that? How do they stand up? How do they stand up? How do they do that?
Starting point is 00:12:06 You know, science. Physics. There you go. Physics. Facts. Bridges, magnets. How do they work? I'm pretty sure there was like a documentary about like the building of the Brooklyn Bridge
Starting point is 00:12:15 that was like, yeah, they were just like throwing Irish and Italian immigrants into the ocean, like into the, like into holes in the, in the river somehow just like dot, like flagrant disrespect for human life as, as they were building those things. As America was the dream, all of our bridges. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:12:38 What, uh, what's something you think is overrated, Rachel? The Kardashians. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. We're about to be fighting.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Let's go. No, I'm just joking. You can proceed. Yeah, no, I respect the hustle. I mean, they clearly know what they're doing, and they're like marketing, you know, mavens. But they have no talent, like actual talent. You know, it's just, they're infamous, not famous, you know? And yeah, I just, I'm over it, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:15 I was over it a long time ago and yet the people still keep paying them and signing up and watching the shows and buying the clothes. Yep. Not for me for me yeah what is the i feel like their talent is like american-ness or like the i don't know they just like really put together all the skill sets that you needed to be famous at this very specific time. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Will they continue to be a name that people recognize 20 years in the future? How do people like that who become famous for something random and don't really have a discernible artistic know artistic skill how do they fare over over the course of history i'm trying to think of like other examples of that i guess we're at like peak that being taken seriously right yeah maybe so i think there's also like a a disposable nature to the kind of thing where it's get it while the getting's good and then just that is a flame that will burn out right there's like a the the first see as a as a avid hulu-er who will just take in as much content
Starting point is 00:14:32 as physically possible in the first episode of the new kardashian series which i binged the entire series of kind of a joke new series or new season what do we talk new series the kardashians on hulu it's like keeping up with the kardashians but they're just like they're just throwing they're running it back basically they're like we wanted our own like we we felt like keeping up with the kardashians didn't have our artistic imprint on it okay yeah too much rob in it but anyway chris jenner goes over all the businesses that the kardashians are like running and you know i could be naive but i haven't heard of a single one of them and there's something about this kind of like let's just kind of get this money train rolling as much as physically possible and then when people stop caring in i don't know five years six years we'll
Starting point is 00:15:18 have enough money that we can disappear off of the face of the earth and that's totally chill yeah there feels like it it feels like it's a flame that is burning as hard and fast as possible kind of like a climate change accelerationism kind of thing where it's just like let's just get the going while the going is good and then be out to our bunker in calabasas we'll either flame out or uh will cause the end of the world indirect something like that yeah it's all disposable whatever it is. So it's like, you know, clothes, whatever. Yeah. Candles.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I don't know what they're making. I'm just like looking at IMDB like for Kim, you know, TV star, entrepreneur, fashion designer,
Starting point is 00:15:56 and author. New York Times bestseller. She is actually one of my favorite writers, but that's, you know. Prolific. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Author. That's something I like to admit, but she's one of my favorite writers, but that's, yeah. Prolific. Yeah, author, what? That's something I like to admit, but she's one of my favorite writers and authors. Totally. Wow. Wow, this bio just keeps going. Wow. Well, I guess if you build it, it will come. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Oh, it is. Yeah. Oof. It is. Yeah. Okay. It'll be interesting to see because we i don't think we have a corollary right like we we don't have somebody who was famous for being famous in history that i know of and maybe we do and that sort of thing just ages so poorly that nobody gives a shit enough to remember them. But I am curious like what, what that will look like even like 40 years from now.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I feel like these characters exist in literature in different ways where it's like someone who's, who's like fame precedes them and they just, you know, the story is about kind of like on some great Gatsby shit. Like they just, they just are famous in the, in the kind of like on some great Gatsby shit. Like they just, they just are famous in the, in the world of the book.
Starting point is 00:17:07 And it's about their descent into self-destruction. Yeah. And something, something aging, painting in a attic for the Kardashian existence. Right. We'll see. I feel like people who are famous for being rich,
Starting point is 00:17:23 like Gatsby don't age that well like i i just i know that whenever i read something from the 50s or like right i think actually earlier than that like the 1910s they're like a regular john d rockefeller over here and i'm like that name i know but like all the other ones i don't. And I also don't give a shit about like that. And it makes you sound like incredibly old. Like there's nothing timeless about a famous for being rich person. Well, we also thought that about Donald Trump for a while. So we saw how that happened with that.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah, president. It does seem like it's all bleeding together now. A reality show famous for being rich and the president maybe our greatest president some are saying and everything and everything that has like a person's name put on it is just being replaced by a brand anyway so it's like your whatever your famous aster name is or some whatever i'm just going real gilded age here any of those names are just being replaced by smoothie king or mercedes so it's like you know what whatever whatever famous name you thought would last forever is just being replaced by build-a-bear so yeah you know and
Starting point is 00:18:34 those are the three main ones smoothie yeah smoothie king mercedes build-a-bear you know you know when they were doing do you ever watch entourage when they were doing that sell of vinnie chase to every single like it was every agency was like, we're trying to get Vinny Chase in here. It was Smoothie King, Mercedes,
Starting point is 00:18:49 Build-A-Bear, Vinny Chase. Brands recognizable around the world. You're our Smoothie King, Vinny Chase. If you sign with CAA. What is something you think
Starting point is 00:19:01 is underrated, Rachel? Walking. Wow. Hard agree. Yeah. No, I went for a walk this morning and it changed my whole mood. And I was like, you know what? This is so underrated.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Walking is amazing. The breeze in your hair, the sun on your face, moving your feet, just like getting your blood flowing. It's like it can really shift your whole thing it's great yeah just don't save me during the pandemic so you know what yay for walking yay for walking indeed how long of a walk are you to your local uh to to the nearest subway stop 17 minutes jesus christ that's when i don't like the walk i like i like the walking when it's like leisurely and it's like along the water or in a park and i'm taking my time maybe i'm listening to some music or some like you know law of attraction thing you know something inspiring
Starting point is 00:19:57 or talking to a friend versus the like i gotta get to the subway because i'm running late though 17 minutes you know yeah then I take the city bike. Do you use the Google Maps? When I lived there 10 years ago, Google Maps had it. So like you knew when the train was going to arrive and it was like, it was like right most of the time. And then you miss it by 30 seconds if you want to punch something. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:22 And then you're like, damn this walking. You can also always just grab one of those scooters they they have those like the lime scooters in new york are they yeah we have revel i think it's called i'm a little afraid of it not gonna lie you may have noticed that i just like completely undercut the value of walking with like three i I was like, how far are you from your subway stop? Well, I guess you can always use a Lime scooter. And yeah, but sorry about that. I do like walking. That's not the good walking. You weren't wrong.

We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:25:06 or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. I think if we could just grab that audio clip of Dan exhaling, I think that sums up pretty much the past five years maybe we don't even need a podcast anymore i think that um anyways we talked about this yesterday there was a mass shooting in illinois and it seems like it was a pretty transparent failure of policing and gun control he had been threatening to kill himself and everyone alternatively since 2019, was able to legally purchase firearms when he turned 21 and used them to stage this horrific rampage. The police at first claimed that he was not known to them,
Starting point is 00:26:00 but on Tuesday they were like, I mean, I guess, okay, he wasn't like known to us. on tuesday they were like i mean i guess okay it wasn't like known to us i guess we had a couple talks with him first in april 2019 after he threatened to kill himself and then the second in september 29 uh after he threatened to kill everyone in his family but those were minor we just took away 16 knives a, and a sword from his home. Crucial details. But did not put him on any sort of list that would have prevented him from buying two assault rifles. Still able to legally buy those two assault rifles in the state of Illinois, which has incredibly strict gun laws. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Yeah. Fun. Yeah. So, I don't know. Yeah, fun. Yeah, so I don't know. It is just, this seems like every mass shooting we see a failure by the police and just another person who really should not have access to a gun being able to legally buy a gun. Both sides of the mainstream media are eager to dig in on this little detail about, and this is something, so we had talked before about how the media has fully on their own, of their own accord, added a trans or drag element to the Uvalde mass shooter. There was like pictures of the Uvalde mass shooter
Starting point is 00:27:26 that made him look like androgynous. And like, there were also rumors that it was a trans person. I still like look at the, when Chappelle was rushed on stage at the Hollywood Bowl and he, I guess, jokingly said it was a trans person after the person and everybody like printed that like that was one of the like pull quotes from the story that made it to the front page of things like there there does feel like there is this hunger for a like trans killer so that America can do its thing
Starting point is 00:28:07 and be afraid of other trans people. But on the front page of Drudge, they have the picture of the shooter who fled the attack dressed as a woman, dressed in drag. the attack dressed as a woman dressed in drag and there's also also with all his tattoos covered up his facial tattoos so he was just like trying to disguise himself but vice also put that on the front page the the highland park shooter escaped in women's clothes police say um that was like one of their top stories uh yesterday so that's a little, I don't know. It does feel like there is an undercurrent of transphobia in the country that is like bubbling and really wants to come out.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And it's kind of only a matter of time. It literally has nothing to do with the shooting. Right. Of course. Nothing. It's just insane how, oh, let's just vilify the thing that we don't understand or we're afraid of and connect it to something completely unrelated. It's just, I feel like I'm watching The Onion when I look at the news. Yeah. It's insane. Because you're crying or, oh, you mean the joke on you.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah. Thank you for that. I actually appreciate it. i would take both actually thank you yeah oh gosh there's also like this just caught my eye that as like oh that is going to be a story that they try to make happen the second headline under the headline psycho killer dressed in drag before fleeing parade bloodbath under that headline is wasn't same after covid question mark so the implication and this is a story that was the most thinly sourced and just inference based bullshit i've ever read uh on the sun but i it did make me realize oh this shit is this is coming the the idea that like kids were
Starting point is 00:30:06 in lockdown and now every kid who commits a crime we can blame it on lockdown and like the all the bad stuff that happened during covid it's because they wear masks yeah the mask prevented them from getting all the oxygen their brain needs and it didn't form right and yeah like that is definitely coming the evidence that he was different before the pandemic is a girl he worked with at panera bread and everything she talks about is just so contextual she was like he would say things like how are you doing and like talk to me at work he was like such a sweetheart and also like the thing they leave out is that like all the stories about the shooter being like a humane kind co-worker happened after he had threatened to kill everyone in his family so that part happened before covid but
Starting point is 00:30:59 it's i don't know again it's like not to be dismissive of like the point of view of people who are like this makes no sense this person seemed fine like everyone can go in wildly different directions based on mental health but like for wet weather it's you or someone else like we have to hope that when you go down like the darkest path path possible you don't live in a country that allows you to buy guns like and protects your right to have guns more than it protects your right to do most other things yeah so well he's white right yes yeah yeah yeah yeah big time big time and a man so you know yes yeah another note that i just want to add is there's a uh to plug into the i heart radio podcast there's gonna be a deep dive on um this whole
Starting point is 00:31:50 you know this whole character on i guess today's episode of it could happen here and you'll really see how this you know person fetishized the idea of being a mass shooter outside of just you know the the the kind of like problematic mental nature or you know problematic behavior around other people in the ways that he changed there is a lot of content that he put out leading up to this moment that is so much looking at the the the landscape of how people look at mass shooters after the fact and like fetishizing that ideal it's like unfortunately this was so premeditated in a sense that he's getting exactly what he wants out of this entire episode, which is, you know, unfortunate and how the media has never learned to cover this in a correct way. Like everything is so calculated and everything was, you know, kind of going according to plan
Starting point is 00:32:58 that it sucks how I don't know how easy it is to stir up media organizations with kind of exactly the message that mass shooters want to get across. And so if you want to learn more about that, and kind of the steps that got us there slash here, you can listen to the It Could Happen Here episode about this person. Wow. It just sucks. Yeah. And no like motive surprises me anymore because it's just any, any possible like misguided like path of logic leads you to a place where you are able to make, like you, you want to do something horrible and you are able to go to Walmart and and like get the the tools to do that like that and lock that into like a permanent decision as opposed to a bad mood or you know mental health crisis that you're able to then work through well tuggar carlson has a take on this whole thing oh does he yeah so tuggar carlson went on TV and blamed the recent Highland Park on a bunch of things. Guns didn't make the cut, but he did blame the problem squarely on nagging women who never stopped lecturing men about their so-called privilege. It's my fault, guys. Sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Pardon me for laughing, but i just eat that up that's just so delicious of tucker carlson to say and of course a horrible way sorry please continue no no it's it's you know one thread that is shared in common with many mass shooters other than guns is a history of misogyny like that if we are going to take one ideological like thing that is like a comorbidity between like a bunch of mass shooters that isn't guns it really would be like misogynistic violence like that's the one thing where they're like all right yeah if you are a convicted, like, you know, domestic violence or like spousal abuser, we will take away your right to own guns. Like that's that like they did that, which should show how, like, you know, significant that connection is that that they were able to get that through Congress. But so he also blamed pot,
Starting point is 00:35:26 specifically government-endorsed weed is what he calls it. So violent. Yeah. Those violent potheads. I just want to kill some Tostitos when I'm high. Right? They are high on government-endorsed weed. Smoke some more.
Starting point is 00:35:43 It's good for you, Carlson said. It was really like a jazz solo of just Fox News bullshit. He also blamed the shooting on antidepressants. He showed off a chart illustrating that mass shootings have gone up, as have prescriptions for antidepressants, since 1991. So I think that's pretty clear cut, right? Couldn't be that, like, that was just when antidepressants became possible to give to more people. And, or, like, the more rational thing would be, oh, these medications that are meant to deal with, like, people who are depressed by their lives might be a reaction to the fact that there are mass shootings everywhere that like we live in a society that is being held captive by a gun industry. you know, it's like terrorism. I now feel like anytime I am outside,
Starting point is 00:36:45 I have it in the back of my mind that like somebody could just take a long distance shot at me or my family. Like that's just there now. There's nothing I can do about that. And yeah, it's going to be there until that. But like his thing is, nah, antidepressants, pot, and women.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Those are the main things. Which, by the way, you could also make a chart saying that it was Seinfeld, because that's when Seinfeld started airing. There you go. And then people have continued to rewatch Seinfeld. I mean, the amount of views it gets on Netflix, and you think that that has nothing to do with mass shootings? We're looking at the wrong things here.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Yes. Also, you guys already covered the scrobbing thing, right? I don't think so. What? Based on the fact that I'm not sure what that word means. Yeah, what? Is that scream vomiting? Yes, it is scream vomiting. Thank you very much. Wow, way to put that together so quickly. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Well, there was another one of these. I'm a pro. You really are. Let me tell you something. I thought you said Scrobidine. I was like, I don't know. Who's that? And I wish this was just like a Wallace and Scromit spinoff of some kind. But unfortunately, it is not. It is some more reefer madness about how super strong weed is making people scream vomit. And the stupid joke that I was about to make was so if we was about to make was, so if we're going to blame weed, shouldn't this guy have been scrabbling instead of doing a mass shooting? But you know,
Starting point is 00:38:10 it's kind of hard to put those two things together if you're Fox news. Yeah. So I guess not. How many of these guys are like documented in cells? Just curious. The, the killers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Yeah. How's that? I think it's a lot of them. I think it's, I think it's probably, let's make that chart of them. Yeah. How's that statistic? I think it's a lot of them. I think it's probably. Let's make that chart. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, that point has been made by my favorite philosopher, Jordan Peterson.
Starting point is 00:38:33 And he says that therefore women should just have to fuck these guys. Oh my God. That's his take. Ah, yes. That's the take. Yeah. My real principal Skinner. Is it me that's wrong? No. It's the take. Ah, yes, that's the take. Yeah. My real principal Skinner. My king.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Is it me that's wrong? No, it's the women. Yes. Right. Not the guns. No, no, no, no, no. And let them have rights over my pussy. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Woo! Oh, yeah. The only country where this regularly happens also happens to be the only country where like there are more guns than people. And he he's like, no, it's got to be these factors that are present everywhere, everywhere else. Antidepressants, weed and women. Yeah. Well, I think it was Jane Fonda that said we should just turn our vaginas into AK-47s and then everything will be okay.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Boom. And how come no one's doing that? You know, I'm working on it, guys. Lead by example, ladies. All right. For all the people who are about to roast me on Twitter, this is a joke. He did briefly mention the issue of guns, but
Starting point is 00:39:43 immediately halted that line of questioning by pointing out that knives exist gee thanks i think i think that was actually before the news broke that the police had taken his knife and his away and his guns away or his knives and his sword away but yeah it is hard to imagine somebody stabbing 600 people per minute or sitting on top of a thing and throwing knives at people at a distance yeah it's just a button that you can use to permanently end someone's life with the least amount of research and preparation it shouldn't exist i i know a lot of very smart people are like, but this is like a thing that these people hold to be like a religious value is guns in America. And I'm just like, I'm sorry. Like that sucks. That sucks that that's what you hold as a religious
Starting point is 00:40:40 value, but it's killing so many people and it is ruining our ability to just like live without you know a fucking nervous disorder in this country yeah yeah no but it's like you know when when the laws were written it's like they had muskets that took time to reload they didn't have these automatic weapons that can just spill out so many rounds per minute. It's just insanity. I mean, other countries just don't have these guns. We don't
Starting point is 00:41:13 need these guns. I'm not against someone going out into the country if they want to shoot a deer and eat it, by all means. Yeah. Precisely. Damn, what are you gonna say sorry I was simply going to agree with your point of like you know the the whole you know guns of religion thing that just like continues to hold less water as we continue to not do anything about it it's like there's totally ways that we can make rules and laws that allow you to still own these things in a responsible way for responsible gun owners.
Starting point is 00:41:49 It's about enforcing the laws that we already have. for whatever reason that is absolutely worth investigating and exploring how the police were not able or just did not take away his guns, how he was able to legally buy them after having his, you know, where's the red flag there? Whose job is it to enforce it? Where's the failure there? It's the fact that those things are not going to get enforced, that people who are so staunchly anti-gun continue to be more and more and more so it's like you can only say that there are laws and there are rules if they're being enforced because right now they're just not and so it's like you can't you can't have both it can't be well guns are okay it's part of our country but also we're not enforcing the laws around them you really you just simply cannot
Starting point is 00:42:39 have both so it's one or the other the the fake weed thing, or the real weed thing, the pro, like the marijuana explanation might be, like, I guess this was a thing that Laura Ingram suggested happened after Uvalde. She, while everyone was talking about AR-15s, the real problem was a pro-marijuana conspiracy. And Fox and Friends suggested that drugs were to blame for Parkland. And Brian Kilmeade also mentioned that virtual reality could be partly to blame.
Starting point is 00:43:14 They'll throw a lot of things out just to, you know, make sure that your brain is confused. I love the just grasping at straws in every possible direction like what could it be what could it be what could it be um rachel if you don't mind me asking are you a cannabis user of any kind sure sure you know the amount of as a frequent cannabis user myself i can literally count on one hand the amount of times that cannabis has made me violent because the answer is a big old zero right yeah because every time the only violence i'm enacting and again this is a hack-ass joke but the only violence i'm enacting is against the bag of chips in my cabinet that are getting destroyed by me also on the vr? Yeah, I was going to say the only other thing besides a bag of chips
Starting point is 00:44:06 is my clitoris, you know, when I'm stoned. Sorry. You know, sorry if this is a family pod. It is not. It certainly is not. I was truly going to say the only other use of VR is for porn.
Starting point is 00:44:19 We actually hate families. Yeah, we hate families. This is very true for a family podcast. Yeah, fuck those guys. It's their fault for the guns. Thank you. It's the children. Yeah, we hate families. This is very true to the podcast. Yeah, fuck those guys. It's their fault for the guns. It's the children. Thank you. It's the children.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Yeah, actually. They're nagging moms and dads. Whatever, dad. Leave me alone. You're probably not wrong. goes back to like after there was the buffalo shooter like killed 13 people in a predominantly black neighborhood of buffalo posted a racist manifesto that cited a bunch of the theories that tucker carlson like brings up nightly on his show tucker Tucker Carlson came on and was just like, this racist manifesto isn't actually racist,
Starting point is 00:45:12 seemed to be his play. And his main argument was, the document is crazy. It's a product of a diseased mind. But then he went directly to blaming, I think, weed and the policies. No, no, no. So he blamed the shooting on the policies of Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, and pretty much anyone who's called for a stop to hate speech and racist ideology. So that literally makes no sense hell yeah bro i'm sure
Starting point is 00:45:49 if i watched it like i would see how he got there in a way that like kept people on board but like you you do have to have the ability to step back and be like that doesn't make sense and all you're saying is like his racist manifesto isn't like coherent enough like what the fuck is wrong with you he also talked about kyle rittenhouse by saying are we really surprised that looting and arson accelerated to murder how shocked are we that 17 year olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would so So, yeah, just a hero among us. Kyle Rittenhouse. Wow. Certainly doesn't apply to J6, though.
Starting point is 00:46:28 No. Someone was gunned. Yeah. Yeah, if someone was gunned out at J6 while there was looting and violence going on, you know, that person would have been a terrorist. Yep. Surely.
Starting point is 00:46:39 For sure. Hmm. Hmm. All right, let's take a quick break, and we'll be back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Together, 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. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold
Starting point is 00:47:33 and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pradente. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadsden.
Starting point is 00:47:56 We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. When you're just starting out in your career, you have a lot of questions. Like, how do I speak up when I'm feeling overwhelmed? Or, can I negotiate a higher salary if this is my first real job? Girl, yes. Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions. Think of us as your work besties
Starting point is 00:48:19 you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do. Like resume specialist Morgan Saner. The only difference between the person who doesn't get the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies. Yeah, I think a lot about that quote, what is it, like you miss 100% of the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary, but it's better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career without sacrificing your sanity or sleep.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask,
Starting point is 00:49:19 a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture. We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre
Starting point is 00:49:49 Behind the Mask as part of my Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. In a galaxy far, far away. No, babe, that's taken.
Starting point is 00:50:02 We're in our own world, remember? Right. In our own world, we? Right, in our own world. We're two space cadets. And totally normal humans. Sure, totally normal humans. Embark on a journey across the stars, discovering the wonders of the universe one episode at a time. We'll talk about life, love, laughter, and why you should never argue with your co-pilot. Especially when she's always right.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Right, and if we hit turbulence, just blame it on Mercury retrograde. and why you should never argue with your co-pilot. Especially when she's always right. Right. And if we hit turbulence, just blame it on Mercury retrograde. Or Emily's questionable space piloting skills. Hey! Join us on In Our Own World for cosmic conversations, stellar laughs,
Starting point is 00:50:37 and super corny dad jokes. Listen to In Our Own World as a part of the My Cultura podcast network available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. And we're back.
Starting point is 00:51:02 And all right. So we got a couple options here. Senator Lindsey Graham won't comply with the subpoena. Maybe we can talk about that on yesterday's trending. COVID seems to be going up well. The New York Times just published a thing that was like 50% of people say we're back to normal. So, no, I mean, we are not so wishful thinking. But I think the big let's go CERN. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:27 The particle accelerator. Yeah. Which they fired it back up July 5th. So down. Depending on who you ask, it either led to the discovery of three subatomic particles that have never been seen before. Which they gave like cute little penta quirk, tetra quirk. And I forget what the other one is. Or if you listen to other people, it is the thing that just threw us all into another dimension.
Starting point is 00:51:56 So you might want to double check that the sky is blue. The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. And Back to the Future starred Eric Stoltz. Aha! Because... Very good. I know it was really starring Ben Stiller. You goof.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Was he? Did he try out for that? Yes. He did? Yes, he did. Yes. Amazing. Try out.
Starting point is 00:52:20 That's so cute. Like, it's a volleyball team. Didn't you know? I didn't. Yes. So, Dan, as our, like so dan as our alternate universe kind of resident song or sorry resident science uh expert i don't know man my brain doesn't work i have some friends in high school that would hear you call me resident science expert and just spit their coffee out as a resident person who's like kind of interested in science stuff so the the large
Starting point is 00:52:47 hydron collada collada yeah yeah the large pina colada yes they fire two high energy particle beams and they travel close to the speed of light and then collide it's like this giant seven mile long ring like track that is designed to do the thing that you're not supposed to do in ghostbusters where they cross the cross the paths with across streams yeah thankfully thankfully in in uh in in science terms or rather i shouldn't say in science terms but no sure in science terms the amount of power that is created the amount of energy that is created is so vastly smaller than the amount of energy needed to do anything like say collapse a star or create some sort of enormous explosion or rip in the space time there's a lot of a perception that like what we're trying to do here is recreate what like a black hole does or like you know fire energy at each other in such a speed that is just like only perceptible in space and and whatnot
Starting point is 00:53:49 but the fact of the matter is it's like you know a star collapsing on itself to make a black hole you were talking about such an expenditure of energy that it's there's no there's no amount of resources on our planet that could create such an amount of power. It just simply is, it is a total physical impossibility. So what is going on at CERN is always fascinating. Real quick, it does sound like you are speaking as somebody who has done a lot of research
Starting point is 00:54:19 into what it would take to end the world. It sounds pretty expert-y to me. Yeah, well, you know. You're like, guys, it's not going to happen. All right? Look, I've been thinking about a lot of ways to rip through space-time. To rip the universe in half is...
Starting point is 00:54:35 Like, you're going to... Believe me, this is small potatoes. We're not anywhere close to what we need, okay? Indeed. If we had about, like, 12 planets worth of these, okay, then maybe we're talking. But otherwise, no.
Starting point is 00:54:49 I think it's just an awesome way to discover these things. And to clarify what you were saying earlier, it is a pentaquark and a pair of tetraquarks. So those are the three particles
Starting point is 00:55:00 that we have discovered. So it's one and two of the other. Quantum. I like my understanding of quantum physics very loose and just i i just like keep it nice and charming like one of the one of the directions they can spin is like lucky is not one of the things yes exactly that's good enough for me i'm like all right you sons of bitches like that doesn't make any sense but we'll we'll go with that yeah but uh you know
Starting point is 00:55:26 i think what's what's what's funny is that you know this is kind of the extension of a meme that came out the very first time they launched up the large agent collider which was like here's a live camera feed from the large agent collider and it was just like a viral or i mean a then viral video i'm trying to remember the last time that or the first time they fired a large agent when google that while i'm telling you the story i think thank you very much i appreciate that but it was a video a quote-unquote video feed of just like a purple hole expanding in the center of it and then one camera gets absorbed and then they go to a different camera and it gets absorbed to people like something like war of the world style like there is an emergency
Starting point is 00:56:02 happening at the large agent collider right now and thankfully we had the internet at that point and we're able to you know go guys it's cool this is not i will just point out the last time that they fired this thing up was between the time that donald trump announced his run for presidency and everybody was like this is a joke and then the time that he was elected so i'm just saying that the stupidity is is fun to track because the like the scared fears that people aka i have are are pretty fun a tiktoker claimed that last time the collider was activated, they were all thrown into a new timeline. So it's very important to keep your vibrations high. Don't shoot people.
Starting point is 00:56:54 For the July weekend would put you at risk of falling behind if you drank over the weekend was another thing. But just keep your vibrations high because this time they're going to be turning it on, moving it much faster. Which I kind of love. I love the idea. It's like, yeah, they're firing the particles faster this time. So guys, Mercury is even more in retrograde.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Yeah. Watch your butts. Get ready. It's very silly. Very silly. I love. It's very silly. Very silly. I love a misunderstanding of science sometimes. That's the best kind. But it's the age of Aquarius.
Starting point is 00:57:32 It is the age of Aquarius. I like astrology and I can make fun of myself. Hell yeah. We're all having fun here. It's entertaining. Yeah. But yeah, no. you know, we're all, we're all having fun here. It's entertaining. Yeah. Oh yeah. No, I mean, you know, much like,
Starting point is 00:57:45 much like the, uh, much like the James Webb, which we will get information back on in five days. Yeah. So this is, we should check in with Daniel's science corner as it's, we'll be back.
Starting point is 00:57:55 We'll be back. This is something you've been kind of keeping an eye on, keeping us up on for a while that they sent a big telescope into space and the pictures are being slowly it's like unusual suspects when the drawing of kaiser soze is being like slowly put together and facts through that's what's happening with the pictures of deep space and what what are you hoping you to to find in these pictures i just think significantly clearer pictures of the planets that surround our that are part of our solar system deeper looks at you know there's a very famous hubble picture that is just kind of like the the the universe and it's
Starting point is 00:58:36 just a sea of stars and you look at it and it's like each one of these little beads of light in here is its own galaxy and it was one of those first kind of like breathtaking images of space that's like oh shit it is so vast and so deep completely beyond our understanding and if anything i you know more clarity i think you know pictures that we'll get of of the other planets in our solar system will be remarkable. You'll be getting all sorts of, you know, phone and laptop backgrounds for, for ages to come from super high res images. All right. That's all I care about.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Yeah, exactly. Sweet. I had a random, really geeky thought, you know, how like they say perception is reality. So it's like,
Starting point is 00:59:18 you know, we look at these planets and it's like, we can't see any life forms, but what if they exist? But because we don't know what they look like, we can't see them. Bingo. Bingo. Bingo.
Starting point is 00:59:28 We are going to see it. It is taking in all sorts of light, all sorts of radiation. Like we're going to see shit. We have no, we have absolutely no idea about, I mean, like,
Starting point is 00:59:36 will we see anything sort of like, I don't know if we're going to see anything world changing. And frankly, if we do see something world changing, there will be a whole campaign similar to don't look up that's like, you know what, don't worry about that. A it's not real. And B those aliens aren't coming for us, baby. But like, like the last time I talked about this on the show, I'm always hoping that we make quote unquote, the discovery that the Star Trek aliens decide to put the walls down and say, Okay, you guys found it, you have now
Starting point is 01:00:04 discovered that space is much more vast and active than you thought it was and we need to welcome you to the federation and save your planet before you all kill yourselves because your information is in fact valuable your lives do have value and yeah don't kill yourselves we're the federation I'm
Starting point is 01:00:19 John Luke Picard thank you for listening and the republicans are like fuck you you're not better than us Picard. Thank you for listening. And the Republicans are like, fuck you! Fuck you! You're not better than us, Picard! And they get teleported into the Borg cube and assimilated. I like how they're in Boston. Yeah, for sure they're in Boston.
Starting point is 01:00:38 All of them are in Boston. Like, Boston will even whatever hypothetical reality that is where we finally make contact. The aliens are more advanced and like a higher life form. And all the idea that like it's killer be killed out here, man. Yeah. Like, no, that's actually not true. you just want to like kind of build uh like as like with other life forms and like create this
Starting point is 01:01:05 giant beautiful like work of art that is intergalactic you know network of civilizations and uh boston will still exist when that happens and they will be like fuck you i'm gonna fucking shoot the fucking aliens aliens. Like Harvard experts will be like announcing this. And there will probably be somebody from Southie in attendance just being like, go fuck yourself, dude. Go fuck yourself, dude. For real, dude. Go fuck yourself. You think you're better than me?
Starting point is 01:01:40 There was. All right. So one thing that Jam included in this story is and he was very quick to dismiss it, he said. And then there was the apparent human ritual sacrifice on the grounds of CERN, presumably to open up the gates of hell. It really was filmed at the CERN facility, but it was obviously a group of pranksters who snuck in. And then it's like a video that looks straight up like you know da vinci code shit yeah and like but did they ever like catch the people like i don't it it feels i don't why are we saying it's so obviously people yeah this feels like one of those things where a company investigates itself and goes well we didn't find any wrongdoing right exactly that is definitely your ceo actually sacrificing somebody who ran away from home like yeah it does feel like the kind of thing that like a bunch of of just i mean a bunch of nerds would be like could you imagine
