I'm Jack. That over there is Miles. We're back, baby. Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck is this? This fool didn't play DDR? Who the fuck are you, bro? Was that like an absentee father type thing? Where you're like, I don't even know who you are, man.

I don't even know who you are. You don't even know me. No, the real one is you don't even know me. Oh, Miles, you look so tall. You look... Yeah, maybe hang around more than once a year, dude. You're a fucking disaster, my guy. You're a fucking disaster, my guy. You're a fucking disaster, my guy.

Still one of the greatest fucking... Thank you for bringing that back into my consciousness from the rehearsal. And we thought it was bad back then. What did we know? What did we know? We were young. All right. I am Jack.

That is Miles. These are the things that are trending. J.D. Vance is the VP pick. It was made. Whee! First became famous for writing Hillbilly Elegy, where he's like, grows up poor and hates his poor family and for being like, you you know and it was what it was like treated as like this guy who's basically a liberal grew up among the type of people who voted for trump and he like

made the rounds going on all the talk shows being like yeah i understand them. I know where their disgusting Trumpiness comes from. And then he was like, psych, I also like Trump. And that boy was me. Oh, okay. It's a nonfiction. It's fiction, right? Oh, I thought it was his memoir. Oh, it's his memoir?

Oh, is that why everyone's talking about... Oh, yeah. Is that why everyone's talking about that there's a part... Look, I don't even know. Someone on Twitter was saying there's a part where he has sex with a latex glove between two couch cushions. I'm pretty sure. Yeah.

Oh. Why does he mention that in the book? It's a memoir, man. As his Midwest cred? It's a memoir. Wow. In your memoir. It's a memoir.

Your coming-of-age memoir has to have some stories about some weird things that you fuck wow wow yeah it was i mean i was kind of impressed by the ingenuity you know i never like warmed up a latex glove and stuck it in the couch cushion that's what he just writes that in to be honest i just saw that on twitter and also assumed it was true but it does feel like the sort of thing that you would put in your memoir that now i just have to now i know all right well you fact check that uh the while you do it also it turns out that selling his soul to the racism party uh comes has come with its uh set of wrinkles for him, not the wrinkles of the latex glove that he fucked, but wrinkles in the sense that

you're Nick Fuente. The racist hardcore groper racists are mad that he has a wife who is non-white. And he has a wife who is non-white.

And he has a son whose name is Vivek. And they're like, this guy's gonna help us bring about a white nationalist nation? Come on. He didn't fuck a glove. He didn't fuck a glove.

Oh, that's made up? Yeah, it's made up. Fuck. It's just one of those things where these people are so fucking weird. He didn't fuck a glove. Oh, that's made up? Yeah, it's made up. It's just one of those things where these people are so fucking weird that you'd believe. If Kristi Noem's like, yeah, man, and I fucking topped a puppy in a gravel pit and then a fucking goat, what of it?

And that's real? Then it's like, I don't know. Yeah, dude, maybe he banged a fucking latex glove. I'd believe it, but no. Turns out. Guys, don't know. Yeah, dude, maybe he banged a fucking latex glove. I'd believe it, but no. Turns out. Guys, don't be like us. I'm over leveraging that part. I was going to say, that was the coolest thing

I had read about him, was him just being like, yeah, I fucked a glove, man. I was a weird, lonely teenager, and yeah, I'm a vulnerable human being. That's actually the thing that should have raised the flag in my mind um yeah yeah um anyways a few people were like i had to go check uh segment i don't know fuck nick fuentes and that whole good the groper movement but yeah he

was it just suffice to say that he's like what's the why is he with a non-white woman yeah and then goes on like their kids are named vivek they have all these indian names and we have we're in the middle of a white genocide yeah whiteness is under attack from immigration but also through inter marriage right and he's like and how do we how can we trust him to protect the white identity and you're like oh fuck man yes uh so yeah you're everything all good over there no these are real man the nazis are real they're really no no intermarriage yeah yeah so you know look yeah he he he found love and in a place that wasn't in the master race, as you'd put it, Nick Fuentes, but he's happy nonetheless. Ingrid

Andres. Andres. Andres. You know. Ingrid A. Old Ingrid A. Oh, I-A. Internal Affairs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's trending. So she gave one of the more memorable performances of the National

Anthem before the Home Run Derby.'s all-star weekend a thing that used to like be an event in in america um but it's i mean do we just want to play it do we people probably heard it by now right yeah but let's give we can give people a taste of uh what it sounded like when um ingrid was okay oh this is right before the home run derby i believe yeah this was her this was her rendition of the star spangled banner okay that's good big moment fireworks going on fireworks going off

it's yeah very ozzy ozzy osbourne was in the building i think in spirit yeah yeah it wasn't uh it wasn't great it wasn't great it was not great it did raise the question is it the worst we've ever seen and going back through some of the other contenders um we got fergie um doing sort of a concept album it was a jazzy i'm not gonna blame it all on kim cattrall but i think she she was inspired by kim cattrall dogs were in the he dogs oh yeah and the town never knew such a hullabaloo but on that night the town had never known such a hullabaloo uh if you if you don't know what we're talking about this is from february of 2018 wow six years ago this is the fergie one um yeah she just like really wants to fuck the national anthem is, yeah, it was like high concept and you know,

like it wasn't a choice she was making in the moment because she was like fucking up the anthem. Like she had a, uh, upright bass accompaniment. Full band. The whole thing was her being like, I'm going to make this the jazziest national anthem of all time.

And there are moments in there where she hits the notes that one is expected to hit for the national anthem so it's definitely worse than Fergie there was a Jordan era Bulls

basketball game against the New Jersey Nets where Carl Lewis the the athlete, one of the greatest athletes ever lived, Olympians, yeah, part-time, sang the national anthem. And even that was...

When you go back and look at clips, you have to skip around to find the really bad moments. Yeah, but they're there. They're there. And also, the thing that is really fun about it is he gets up and he's kind of taking you through his process like he's giving a running commentary of his own botching of the national anthem yeah there's there is a cav like caveat at the beginning of him singing like quick caveat

just so you know. Let's see where this goes. Alright, are we all ready? He's talking like a guy who's going to do something terrible to himself at a party in front of everyone. He's like, alright, everybody ready to watch this? Hank stand. You want to see this shit?

Doing a preamble. I'm going to drink some bomb water. Everybody ready? Everybody ready in here? Okay, here we go. Here we go. doing a preamble like at the yeah i'm gonna drink some bomb water everybody ready everybody okay ready in here okay here we go here we go here we go here we go okay not where i wanted to start so we're just gonna do this okay coming in hot uh-huh there you go okay cut forward oh uh-oh now that uh-oh he said i'm gonna make up for it now oh he changed like he's good for him he looked the second he went oh that made him that self-awareness everyone

was like all right carl we love you man we know you're a sprinter you're not a singer but you're doing your best baby yeah well i i do think this was because there's not a moment in this rendition that is not a disaster my guy um yeah and she then came out and was like hey i was drunk i need i need help which good for her she's going to rehab um and yeah you know it it's a it's tough for her that you know she she had that moment in front of so many people and at a time when the nation needed to unite around something needed to be like she tweeted something she's like i'm glad i could unite the country yeah uh over that but then the next day she tweeted that she actually like this is what you

see uh this is what you put on twitter like today she said quote i'm not gonna bullshit y'all i was drunk last night i'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help that i need that was not me last night i apologize to major league baseball all the fans and this country i love so much for that rendition i'll let y'all know how rehab is i hear it's super fun xo ingrid uh so hmm that's uh yeah you're like oh damn well damn that's a that's a lot of failures right there. Yeah, that's tough. Who's your manager, too? I know, like, I'm sure they could find somebody at the last minute. You know what I mean? Find somebody waiting in the wings.

But, yeah, I hope, Ingrid, you get the help you need. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The internet will, unfortunately, keep talking about this National Anthem performance, though. 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. 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.

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 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.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President

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

The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back and let's see what else has been happening and rnc obviously is happening things to happen uh teamster president sean o'brien. You know, the union, pretty traditionally, pretty comfortably aligned with the Democrats. He just recently looked at some history. Yeah. Yeah. He wanted to prove a point that

you know, we'll take whoever as long as they're pro union, despite the fact that the Republicans continue to be some of the most powerful forces against worker power and unions and so but he he had some things to say about dei just seems like a real all-around piece of shit and like couldn't couldn't resist the opportunity to speak to his people unfortunately did not go over

well because they're they're not on board with the whole uh no it's it's very odd like he was praising trump but then he was on cnn today praising biden as like the most pro-union president it's very yeah both sidesy and like i'm sure maybe part of him he's like i wish this was the i wish this was the convention i was speaking at, but many people are like, how the fuck could you go to like literally fucking Bain's cave layer who like all they're set on is diluting worker power and be like, give a fucking dog and pony show there. The odd, um,

still, I'm racist. So like what, you know, obviously it's always been a dream of mine to speak to the Republican national convention, you know, this diversity. You're a dream of mine to speak to the Republican National Convention. You know, all this diversity. You're like, oh, shit.

Oh, interesting. We hear you, buddy. Good. So a lot of wobbliness happening. And but yeah, I think most people who were looking at this from the outside were like, I don't I don't know a single Republican who's been like, yeah, man, these unions, man unions man the workers they need to get what they're due even the democrats barely say that but i get that as a binary that's where most of their money goes anyway so just cool sean o'brien just the 2024 just continues to be a cool a wacky time and then amber rose spoke yesterday yeah kanye west former ex completely you know uh finishing

her transformation to a fully washed celebrity who has to pivot to the right uh for any kind of notoriety um what when did that happen i wasn't i wasn't really aware until i saw her yesterday yeah but when was that her first time announcing herself as like a mega person no she's slowly been turning up the heat on her on her magoness interesting yeah um i mean not really actually i don't know why i said it was interesting it's pretty boring interesting interesting um all right uh and then tenacious d might be breaking up because kyle gas uh said so so it was Kyle gas's birthday. They presented a cake to him.

And before he blew out the candles, he wished don't miss Trump next time. And, uh, in Australia, in Australia, uh, yeah.

During an Australian tour, um, Jack black, you know, that night canceled the rest of the tour and said that they're putting all creative collaborations on hold going forward. So it seems like they're at least threatening. He's threatening to break up Tenacious D based on this joke.

That is so, I mean, it's also like exactly what like, like the liberal response has been to this. Exactly. Don't fucking say anything about the guy who is or they're also screaming about is gonna kill everyone too it's just it's just so odd and like yeah you're like dude tenacious d was what are you gonna what i guess jack black because he's slowly kind of turned into this like like likable across the board type character now like figure especially like he's you know it's been on twitch more and things like that so i think maybe

part of him is like super aware that he wants to come off as like i'm just jb man i'm just a goofy guy who likes to go here and there and you know not really say anything too spicy and i'd be god damned if cage rage cage said some shit about that and now someone's calling for them to be deported from australia yeah which like the person that's calling for that is a right wing but yeah yeah completely rich guy piece of shit who's clearly just trying to rile up the base, but, um, it's, yeah,

it's, it does seem to be the standard response. I mean, I'm not saying like that was a good joke or anything. Um, but just, it does seem to be like the daily show canceling the show, I guess. Um,

morning Joe, like they came back on the next day. Yeah. And we're like, how dare you yeah they were like apparently it wasn't their decision it was the network's decision which seems either way yeah in line i don't know it feels like does it feel like cnn is like kind of it not in the bag for trump but sort of i mean we knew the second you know the new ownership came in there it felt like

we were talking about how there was pressure from the top to be like dude we need to we need to get some of these fox viewers too like we're there we're opening our body to a more rightward posture so yeah um there have been a few times too where like guests have come on to cnn and like they're outwardly being like are y'all okay right um so it is a bit uh i mean yeah corporate media they were like talking about trump walking into the rnc and like the emotion on his face like felt very hagiography um right right yeah yeah um but then like even on you know msnbc like there there's Katie Turr is also being very kind. Like she's just over the last few years have also been like kind of really both sides in a way. You're like, oh man.

Okay, cool. No, no one knows what's real or what's a real threat or who deserves like actual hard questions and who deserves softball hugs. Yeah, yeah. hard questions and who deserves softball hugs yeah yeah the inability to hold two thoughts in your head at the same time that like we shouldn't shoot public figures uh yeah also this person was the person who created a lot of the culture of political violence in this country like those are two thoughts that you can hold at the same time and you don't have to pretend that uh that isn't true or you know it's just like really odd like you know there's there's this whole thing about like you are on msnbc too a lot of the coverage of at the rnc has been like sort of

gushing over trump in a way where it's like i think this near-death experience may have changed him he's become more peaceful. And you're like, what the fuck? Are y'all already shook because you think he's going to win that now you're like, turn the fucking spice down. We don't want him to have any memories of this election. And we were spicy because he's going to win. And it's like, wow, very disheartening. And yeah, a terrible omen

if that's what the case is at some of these newsrooms. Yeah, do we think, if there's a future where Biden is not the nominee, does it happen, do they have an open convention? Do they just give it to Kamala and then they select the vp at the convention like what i'm not sure what i'm not getting the timeline clear yeah i know right now it sounds like there's very limited time to do it like it would have to i don't know like how it would have to happen before the convention yeah um he just he seems

more like everybody is assuming now that he's like unbeatable and it that feels incorrect to me like it feels like there's this wave of like media attention but like the stuff that he's getting attention for doesn't feel like it would change anyone's mind into voting for him yeah you know so like what i don't know people still know it would be a complete disaster i feel like um yeah i mean it's like give them something to vote for it feels like yeah they they want i don't know it's every time i every time i read stuff about the process and like how there's still people being like well that we've lost the fight to edge biden out and then the other people like oh man we've only got a limited window still and it's like what's what kind of bad ideas are we getting from

donors now who who are now like you have jeffrey katzenberg i can't keep emphasizing this enough with like all these ideas on how to replace him because he's like i'm the hollywood guy like i understand like it's show and how people fucking you know make sense of things and interpret audio visual messages and it's like cast chris pratt aren't they yeah right no but like yeah it's it's like yeah you took an l on quibby dude like what do you know about anything right now uh and you're the one who's like it is i who has all the wisdom it's i think it's it's so many cooks in the fucking kitchen um that i'm not sure where this ends up i yeah like i said november just fucking time please stop now wait did it work proclaim it did it work ah did it work fuck no i'm looking at my second hand is still moving damn it all right uh well yeah well again

yeah we'll see we'll see you'll see we just don't know we just don't know anything it's really truly unprecedented fucking times with this this one well we're gonna uh go into the black void we enter in between recordings we'll be uh back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow.
