And I'm thrilled to be joined by today's special guest co-host, Lacey Mosley!
Starting point is 00:03:07 Hey, what's up? It's Lacey Mosley, a.k.a. Scam Goddess, a.k.a. There's some cons in this house, there's some crimes in this house, there's some crimes in this house.

You are so disrespectful. I was never confiding you again.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Alright, I apologize. Oh, by the way, so people, ever since we talked shit about Hey There Delilah on earlier this week, people have been hitting me up with Wikipedia pages. Apparently Delilah herself has a Wikipedia page. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:03 The lead singer of the Plain White Tees. Never dated her. It was just like had a crush, wrote a song about her, and then she accompanied him to the Grammys where he was nominated, did not win. So he Taylor Swifted her, basically. Yeah, I guess. I don't know what that means, basically. Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I don't know what that means, actually. I'm going to be honest with you. Because a bunch of the people who Taylor Swifted would talk about in their relationships and how deep they were, some of these guys would come out and be like, it wasn't like that. It wasn't that deep. So I think she might have been making it more than what it was to get those songs popping. So maybe that's what he did. But it worked, though.
Starting point is 00:04:46 He scammed her into coming to the Grammys. Yeah. And then she was like, okay, that was weird. And they never dated. So anyways, shout out to her. This supports all the plain white tea shade that Blair Saki was throwing. I know. I think she was right, y'all. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat

Starting point is 00:06:02 what a treat we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. Priscilla, first, we are going to tell our listeners just a couple of the things we're talking about today. We are going to talk about Trump encouraging people to vote twice. We are going to talk about Daniel Prude and Dijon Kizzee, two black men who were murdered by the police on camera again. So that's happening again constantly. We're going to do a Sturgis update. We're going to do a Benghazi update with Ron Jeremy, who's apparently a complete monster.
Starting point is 00:06:41 We're going to talk about... So something we've been talking about is people fleeing the cities for the country, at least in their hearts and minds. But it turns out that the whole real estate boom where people were like, nobody's buying in the cities, everybody's buying in the country, is a myth that is being perpetuated by people. that is being perpetuated by people, the fact that the mainstream media is all in New York and their rich friends are moving to the suburbs, basically.
Starting point is 00:07:12 So we're going to talk about all of that, plenty more. But first, Priscilla, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Let's see. Let's see what this is. that who you are. Let's see. Let's see what this is. Successfully removed from an email account from email. An email is listen now that may not sound special. OK. But it is to me because I get spammed all day long. So I have been trying to like, I currently have 16,797 unread emails.
Starting point is 00:07:50 And so I'm like slowly trying to take that number down. And I've been proud of myself for unsubscribing from things lately. That is, I think horrifying to a lot of listeners. There are like those listeners who are like i have to have it at zero or like be be close within striking distance of zero i am one of you however i have like hundreds of thousands of unread spam emails or doubled up like email inboxes that both receive the same thing so i'm like getting. So I don't have to check it.

I... Just don't come at me, guys. This is really
Starting point is 00:10:31 just only going to offend the LA population, but I just find that the food in LA is overrated. I know. Wow. I'm sorry, guys. I just... I'm going to agree with you. Thank you, girl.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Where's the cliff? I'll jump right next to you. I'll jump on that. Girl, can we hold hands? Yes, we can hold. Let's intertwine our fingers because I'm going to take it a step up and say that L.A. Street tacos are ass. They're dry. They're dry.
Starting point is 00:11:03 They're flavorless. I don't know why y'all thought some onions and a little bit of cilantro and some dry ass meat was gonna cut it but hunty it's terrible just because you gotta if anybody can get in their car and slang some food y'all getting excited just because it's coming out the car like well i'm gonna get out here in my car then damn i mean i completely agree with the taco take. That's absolutely right. The tacos are dry as fuck and flavorless. And they be putting that little, they so cheap with it too.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Like I'm from Texas, so I know some Tex-Mex, okay? And they so cheap. The avocado juice that they be having on the corner, it don't need to be no damn guacamole. They be like, here, pour this green juice on your taco. The fuck? Just slime it. Just slime it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I hate it here. It's some radishes. What do I want some damn radishes on my damn taco for? I mean, and the thing is that it's like, that's the first thing
Starting point is 00:11:57 people tell you. Like, oh, the food is so good out here in LA. Like, it's so good. And then like, listen, I'm from New Jersey jersey i'm an east coast queen like we have fantastic food where i come from you know what i'm saying like don't even let me start talking about pizza right now okay like come on the pizza out here is a joke and where are you
Starting point is 00:12:19 from in new jersey um i am from south orange new jersey esse Jersey Essex County Are you from New Jersey? Yeah, kind of My family moved around a lot But every summer we would go to the Jersey Shore And my favorite food in the world Is from the Jersey Shore Manco and Manco pizza Real good
Starting point is 00:12:38 Real good slice there The Jersey Shore is ratchet, Jack Are you ratchet? This whole time Jack was ratchet we didn't even know you haven't seen my barbed wire tattoo around my bicep yeah beat up the beat um what what's your what do you feel like is the most overrated food is it is it the street tacos priscilla is it you have another thing that you feel i mean here's what here's my assessment of la food this is what my problem is with it it looks amazing it always looks so pretty and cute and it's always so interesting and unique you know what i'm saying these are not food this is not how i want to describe my food you know right and then
Starting point is 00:13:21 and things are always tasty but it's like it's never good you know what i mean it's never that like flavorful it's always like to me it's a little bland and it's like the healthy version of everything is what i would say which is it's fine because i love healthy food lacy can attest to that you know i love healthy food and i get i get what it's what it's about but it's like i just feel like la with most things, it's about the presentation presentation over like the substance, the quality of it. Which could be expanded to everything about L.A. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. That's very true, because L.A. apartments.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I was just talking to somebody about this, how ass it is. We have too much land for these apartments to look like we live in New York City. Like, how do I got a shoebox, but it's a damn park that's miles long right next to my shoebox? We have the land. Like, what is this? They try to put so many units on top of each other now, and I saw a condo that was 410 square feet, and it was going for $1.6 million. I said, you know what? I just want to schedule a showing so I can beat whoever's listing this ass.
Starting point is 00:14:36 I just want to show up with the community and bite. But let's have a fist to cuffs because this is ridiculous. I hate it here. But I love it here. I'm never leaving. I'm never leaving at all. And I love the food as well. The heat is just my favorite thing about L.A. used to be that it was like never too hot.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And like when it was hot, it was still a dry heat. And therefore, there were no bugs. And that has changed thanks to climate change over the, but I still. I thought I was tripping. I was like, am I getting mosquito bites? All the time. It's happening. They have invaded.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah. It's a, it's a completely new climate. Thank you. I was shocked. Yeah. Yeah. I went to Palm Springs and was getting bit by mosquitoes. And I was like, what is this?
Starting point is 00:15:24 And then I heard the girls are bringing the West Nile. Like the girls are bringing the West Nile here. Yeah. yeah yeah i went to palm springs and was getting bit by mosquitoes and i was like what is this and then i heard the girls are bringing the west nile like the girls are bringing the west now here yeah west nile is still a thing i'm done i think everybody got jealous of covid they were like oh she's getting so much attention girls assemble okay get a formation yeah the rats were like let's bring it back what call master splinter let's go but i think i think the people are dying of bubonic plague like it's always some very uh extreme circumstance where they've eaten some sort of rodent that was sick with it or something. Not victim blaming with the bubonic plague. A little bit, Jack.
Starting point is 00:16:09 But I'm just saying, I'm just saying anytime there's a bubonic plague, like death, I immediately look at it. I'm like, oh no, like we're all gonna die. And it usually makes me feel at least like it's not gonna be a complete outbreak in the immediate future uh when i feel like this is a little shade jack because i was on the pod earlier talking about eating possum this is all about me just wanting to feel good about my feel good about
Starting point is 00:16:39 the fact that i'm not gonna die in the immediate. And it is a little bit of shade on anybody who eats possum. Definitely. I got a internet ad that was like people who eat possum for Thanksgiving dinner recently. So I think the, the Google algorithm listens to the daily zeitgeist. Priscilla, what is something you think is underrated?
Starting point is 00:17:09 Okay. So hands down my home state of new jersey yeah okay hands down i just i feel like um especially you know now being a transplant so people always have to tell you what they think about where you come from um so i mean as soon as somebody as soon as i tell somebody tell somebody from new jersey i just get dragged and i'm like how i just i don't even know you i get dragged to filth and i mean i just like also why would you like people like oh you mean the armpit of america and i'm like i was literally about to say that i was just about to say that to me that's where i come from yeah new york's garbage dump okay disrespect do you see this shit this is what i'm talking about we think you mispronounced the garden state lacey no i said what i said no i think jack is correct and that's
Starting point is 00:17:59 what i and that was my point number one flowers can grow in a landfill flowers can grow in a landfill okay rude okay and now here's the thing first of all as jack so kindly illustrated our nickname is the garden state you don't get that nickname if you're ugly and dirty gardens are pretty but can we just say that like no one called y'all the garden state like y'all gave y'all self that nickname and much like when anybody gives themselves a nickname is that how you give things work if i give myself the nickname little beautiful and then i'm like everyone calls me a little beautiful and it's like no one ever actually called me that like that's what y'all did with the garden state well you can all call me little
Starting point is 00:18:37 beautiful because that's what i call myself oh is that how i didn't even think about that is that how do states name themselves i thought thought that. I think so. And also it doesn't help that like the highway I've probably spent the most time on is the Garden State Parkway. And the view from that is not very gardening. It's not very verdant. It's more factories. What highway, what freeway have you been on where the view is gardening? That's true.
Starting point is 00:19:01 The 101? Yeah, it's basically the one. The PCH is the only good view highway. That's barely a highway. Right. I mean, but that was y'all trying to brand. Y'all were like, oh, the Garden State Parkway. We know what we looking at.
Starting point is 00:19:18 We know what we looking at. Okay, okay. In conclusion, okay, here's what I also have to say. Not with this political, she's doing the political thumb. Listen, everybody who- She is doing the Bill Clinton thumb. The non-point. Laser point.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah, yeah. So here's the thing. You know, you see, Lacey lived in New York for hot seconds, so she inherited their disrespect of our state as well. But as New Yorkers, as soon as they their disrespect of our state as well and so but ask New Yorkers as soon as they get money and shit start going right where do they move to Connecticut okay yes Connecticut as well right I'm sorry uh and also New Jersey and also New Jersey. And also New Jersey. Yeah. I love New Jersey. I love people from New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:20:07 I love culture about New Jersey. And I fully understand all the criticisms or bullshit about New Jersey. I don't like it when, exactly like you were saying, when there's that knee jerk, like, oh, New Jersey's the armpit of America shit. Uh, but anybody like people who are from New Jersey also talk shit about New Jersey. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Oh, but I mean, don't you talk, I just dragged LA. Right. I'm going to live here until I die. I hate it. I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:40 I think, you know, we're entitled to do that, you know? Um, yeah, I mean, I'm from Texas, so I mean, everything's know we're entitled to do that you know I mean I'm from Texas so I mean everything's bigger
Starting point is 00:20:48 I mean we can drag every state okay yeah you know I mean we're cute that's not always a good thing listen our racism is also bigger you know and armed 100% right we do everything the best that also means we're the best
Starting point is 00:21:04 at racism. You gotta take your good with your bad. Yeah. And finally, Priscilla, what is a myth? What myth did you Google? I forgot. I ratted on myself. Well, this, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:21 I did Google a myth, but it connects a little bit to a little story for my family so that's why i was like oh this is i'm gonna bring this one up nice um so it's very adjacent i should warn you um but so the myth is that um lightning does not strike twice in the same place. But the truth is, it does. So if you see some shit strike, you can get struck there again. Yeah. Random thing. Right. And also, lightning is drawn to high, tall, pointy objects.
Starting point is 00:22:01 It's a very aggressively wrong and deadly myth that people like why is that a saying like it's just it it's convenient we needed a saying that meant bad things won't happen like multiple times but it is exactly wrong about lightning lightning strikes the empire state building every time there's a storm in New York. Really? I believe it. Oh, yeah. Like constantly because it's sticking out above everything else around it. So, yeah. Well, then maybe the phrase is accurate because it's just like just like it's trying to say bad things don't happen, you know, over and over again.
Starting point is 00:22:39 It's like, yeah, they do. Look at COVID. We were all like bad things won't keep happening to us. And then we're like oh they will so let's keep that phrase but how does it tie into your family oh so my so on my mom's side
Starting point is 00:22:52 I'm Haitian Haitian on my mom's side and so we still have some cousins who are still in Haiti and so we have a cousin who
Starting point is 00:23:00 both his dad and his son were killed by lightning strikes like years apart shit isn't that crazy where in haiti in haiti yeah it happened in haiti isn't that insane were they standing in the same spot they weren't that's that's what i said it was adjacent right they weren't standing in the same spot but just like that that whole idea of like it can't happen twice like how how fucked up is that that is i feel like i gotta fight my daddy when i get to heaven
Starting point is 00:23:30 right it's like he has something to do with that he definitely has something to do with that that's when your dad get put get a hit put out on you from above oh shit well that's terrible i know but that that is we keep it light here we liked it hey always how can you not with our current news cycle uh all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back in a moment 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
Starting point is 00:24:36 Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

Look at this photograph. That's also how I was found. Yeah. Alright, let's talk through some fuckery from the Trump administration. The president
Starting point is 00:28:40 is encouraging people to vote twice where he did in a local news interview which is a a felony if you do get caught voting twice um in north carolina he was saying it in the context of if the system is so good they will catch you at which point you will be a felon you will be guilty of a crime but you know he was just throwing some shit out there uh that he knew was going to cause chaos and just spitballing yeah just spitballing stuff do crimes when i read it and it was very much like okay, you should send in a mail-in ballot.
Starting point is 00:29:25 And then you should go to the polls and try to vote. And then if they stop you, then you know that your vote went through. And I'm like, if they stop you, are they going to call the girls to come get you? Right. For doing crime? Yeah. It's like trying to rob a bank. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:44 So go to the bank and if they stop you you know i have a gun you know you're caught right that's how you know that your gun works is if you go and they stop you that's the that's the sign yeah that's the only way to test though so you got so everybody should do um and soledad o'brien tweeted uh at cnn uh really disappointed in the way that they were uh headlining it because they were like it appears that trump may have told his voters to vote possibly not really kind of not really, kind of, sort of, but definitely. A sprinkle of doubt and a lot of allegedly. But what?
Starting point is 00:30:30 Just tell the truth. Yeah. I think like what trips me out so much about this is like, I just can't believe we're still sitting here going like, this is fine. We're fine.
Starting point is 00:30:43 This is fine. Yeah. Like, it's almost like the media will be like, this is fine. We're fine. This is fine. Like, it's almost like the media will be like, oh man, Trump, it's like a think piece. Trump was about to say or do something crazy. And then without fail, Trump does and says that crazy thing, you know? And it's like, it's like, they're, it's like, I don't know. I just feel like we are just getting played to the highest level of I don't even know. How? Right. I mean.
Starting point is 00:31:12 It's just like he can't be stopped. That's the weird thing. How? We have laws. And you know I love to skirt around laws. This dude is impeached. Right. Laws are suggestive.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I'm like, I'll follow the laws i want to follow um so i understand where trump comes from in that sense but it's like if you're the president you're supposed to be following the laws and we tell you you're not and then everybody's like well that's all we can do is write a strongly written letter like right yeah or a big piece we're counting on op-eds being the thing that would uh keep him in order that that was what it was up to this point and then a president came in and was just like no i'm just gonna do crimes and not give a fuck what you write in op-eds and in the rnc melania's technically lawfully not supposed to give a speech in the rose garden running for office like or promoting campaigning
Starting point is 00:32:06 like that's a law that we have and everybody was like oh damn they broke the law again well well well well nothing we can do uh bill barr was on wolf blitzer's, who, all power to CNN, Wolf Blitzer, he is our dumbest mainstream journalist. I don't know if you guys have seen the Celebrity Jeopardy that he was on, but it is just, it's vacant in there. It is empty inside,
Starting point is 00:32:38 behind that serious-looking face. A lot of tumbleweeds. Yeah, just tumbleweeds. It is. Because he looks so smart. He does of tumbleweeds. Yeah, just tumbleweeds. It is. Because he looks so smart. He does. He looks so smart. The hair.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And the beard that he keeps cropped at exactly one-eighth of an inch. It's very studied. He knows exactly how to appear like a serious journalist, but he's- Cosplaying like an intellectual like intellectual cosplay yeah glasses and yeah them glasses took it over yep but yeah he's on there and uh trying to pin down bill barr and bill barr is like just won't admit to the idea that what the president said when he told people to go out and commit crimes to help him win the election was not okay.
Starting point is 00:33:31 He was like, well, I don't know what the local laws are, but what he was trying to say. So, you know. I don't know what the locals do. Like, what? How can you know? You know, as the chief lawyer and the head of being lawyers
Starting point is 00:33:50 in the United States, how could you know? It's like there's blue laws. I don't know. Maybe they can. Maybe they can vote twice somewhere. Right. But yeah, I mean, to your point on the RNC front, like it's, you know, Pompeo is supposed to be somebody who is not political, is completely nonpartisan, but he was been totally unprecedented and like the biggest headline of the
Starting point is 00:34:27 day that the secretary of state was you know throwing his weight behind one of the candidates uh but nobody gives a shit and same thing's true of bill barr he's supposed to be in charge of you know keeping things uh honest and instead he is like chief lead blocker for trump crimes so daniel prude is a black man in rochester who was murdered by police in march uh and the video was just released uh and it's just very clear they put something called a spit hood on his head that has been implicated in lots of deaths. And his autopsy found he died via homicide, via asphyxiation. And then we got another angle on the Dijon Kizzee shooting. And the police's version of this that we were somewhat skeptical of was they said that he dropped a gun and then went to pick it up.
Starting point is 00:35:40 And we now have, it's still very grainy, but it seems like he's just running away and they shoot him while he's on the ground 20 times. And so there are protests and people coming out to demonstrate for police reform in Rochester and in Los Angeles. But the Daniel Prude video is just such a clear example of why police abolition and police defunding is an emergency. It's not like a punitive thing where people are just like, well, they did bad, so we need to take away their funding. It is an absolute emergency that these untrained, armed, violent people are being called out when there's a mental health crisis. And that's what is happening in the video. And rather than de-escalating, he ends up dead. They kill him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:46 And I think that maybe if defunding the police sounds punitive to you, the way that you can look at it is redirecting those resources towards people who can actually help you. You know what I mean? Let's get homeless people off the street because it's more expensive to have them unhoused than it would be to give them places to live. street because it's more expensive to have them unhoused than it would be to give them places to live like let's have you know if you're having a domestic violence dispute let's bring someone to your house who's not going to have a gun and escalate things like there are just so many situations where the police are not properly trained to do what we're asking them to do and that's why this stuff is happening also this is a weird conspiracy theory i'm i'm saying conspiracy theory here guys but i've been
Starting point is 00:37:25 seeing this float around on the internet a lot of like so obviously like the police know the heat's on when it comes to these like murders of unarmed black men especially the ones who are running away and it's like why are they still doing it i'm seeing a lot of conspiracy theories that are like this they're joining this club called the executioners like you kill somebody and then you are a part of this elite group um that's been floating around a lot which i was like wait are you talking about the on i believe his name is andres i think he was in california a latinx teenager and they said that the reason why he was murdered was because the guy was the police officer was trying to get into this
Starting point is 00:38:02 the police gang and get his ink his tattoo that proved that he killed somebody that's what you're referring to yeah that's exactly what i'm referring but is is that that's real right or no i mean it's just something that people are saying so i can't confirm that it's true or not i know that that's what they were trying to charge him with so perhaps in los angeles at least that there's a police gang um but it's not the first time that i've heard of police gangs there is a there is a police gang called the executioners in los angeles county sheriff's department um that it was anonymously reported uh by a sheriff's deputy right yeah a police officer who is like, there's this gang that's been kind of known for a while, for years, that this is a thing and it has been implicated in a lot of these shootings. But yeah, it is the police's response to any criticism has been complete pet,
Starting point is 00:39:06 like acting like petulant children, like who are having temper tantrums. Uh, and you know, so I think there, I can easily believe there's some systemic like gang initiation thing going on. And I can also believe that it's just, uh,
Starting point is 00:39:23 lashing out because they feel like they're beyond reproach and the fact that people are criticizing them makes them like lean in um just looking at that new york uh police union press conference where oh my god that was insane i was like, thank you, girl. And that's corny. And that's the thing about that's the thing about the mythos, if you will, of like, you know, the what do you call it? Like the not the American dream, but that like, you know, I'm an American and I, you know, I fight for my country. And, you know, like it's like it doesn't even feel genuine when you see them do it feels it's like manufactured emotion, you know, and it's like like you said, corny. Like, what are you talking about? I just want to be like, dog, what are you talking about? Like nothing substantive. And it's like you're forcing tears out. And like it just was so messy and and and just so clear that like they just they don't they have no intention of making
Starting point is 00:40:27 any change like they just double down on their trash yeah and also why do we see police officers i think there's just been so many years of copaganda and i think i might have mentioned it on this show but i just like had an audition come in for a very prestigious television show to play a cop and i was like fuck the police like yeah love y'all but fuck the police uh which was hard for me because i was like damn you know like the coins could be cute the claim could be cute and it's like i'm auditioning still but i was like no i cannot glorify and be a likable cop anymore like fuck that why do we give you know i see so many comments on twitter and online and different places like why didn't you just like respect the police and like they should have just complied.
Starting point is 00:41:05 And Amanda Steele's had a post on her page recently where she was saying, you know, everyone always tries to tell folks like they should comply with the police. And, and that's why they're getting shot by the police. But it's like, why aren't the police walking into situations ready for people not wanting to comply considering don't nobody want to go with the police.
Starting point is 00:41:26 But they are, but that's the point is that they are right. Like you're training you like, that's like training one-on-one. Like nobody wants to go with the popo, like be prepared, but that's, but that's also, but that's also part of their defense. Right. So it's like that two, that double-sided coin where it's like, they act like they're surprised, but also like you, that's also your excuse for why you come in so hopped up, right? It's that like, well, you know, I'm, I'm, everybody's coming to get me. Everybody's out to get me. Nobody, right? So which one is it? Is it that everybody's out to get you or is it the opposite of that? And it's like, that's the other question. We've seen so many times with white people that it's not that you're scared. It's just, you want to murder black folks. Like how are white folks shooting 40 rounds at you and you're taking them
Starting point is 00:42:13 into custody? How does that happen? You know what I mean? But then you thought that a black man who was running away from you, maybe was going to get a gun. And then you shot him 20 times on the ground. Like that doesn't make any sense. And I'm tired of white folks trying to tell us that we need to respect the
Starting point is 00:42:29 police. The police are just regular ass people at a regular ass job. I pay the salary of the police and they are just like the garbage man. I got to comply to the garbage man. Cause they work for the city. The fuck? Like, these are just people who have jobs.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I don't go to the mall and be like, I got to comply with the girl, the fuck? Like, these are just people who have jobs. I don't go to the mall and be like, I gotta comply with the girl working the counter. Like, everyone should have the same level of respect. You don't, you're not above me if you're a police officer. And we've trained everyone to believe that. Well, not everyone, girl, because white people are disrespectful as hell to police officers.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Right. I've seen it. And, you know, I used to have, like, I used to have, like, a secondary white privilege in my head. I swear, growing up in a predominantly white town, I would see my white friends doing all kind of... I thought I could do that shit too.
Starting point is 00:43:11 And you know what? I did get away with a lot of shit with that mentality at times. But there were definitely times where the buck fucking stopped. But yeah, I'm like, no, white people are not like like oh my god i can't tell you how many white people i've seen curse out cops you can like fuck out of here i mean just look at how the people in michigan those militia people responded to the local government asking them to wear masks they went into the state house fully armed to the teeth and, you know, we're pulling shit that would have caused if they were not white, would have caused the entire, you know, local police force to just, and to uphold white supremacy so that's why they're saying y'all just need to comply because those are the people that we pay to keep y'all down
Starting point is 00:44:10 that's what it is yeah we know all right well speaking of uh white people not complying with shit uh sturgis uh sturgis happened not too long ago and somebody is dead because of it now six-year-old man uh who you know he basically went to the icu right after returning Sturgis. Sturgis is this big biker rally where everybody went, went to bars, didn't wear masks, buying into that new flavor of toxic masculinity. It's like, if I die, but also you're killing the people around you. You're spreading the disease. So now hundreds of cases have been traced to Sturgis. This first death has now been recorded.
Starting point is 00:45:16 He was old and had pre pre existing conditions. So I guess he doesn't count according to the Adam Carolla rule where we're all idiots if we if if we worry about the elderly and people with preexisting conditions. But yeah, I mean, this it's like this is exactly what we knew was going to happen. So it's sort of strange to be still talking about it but it's this is the world we live in now that it's sort of watching this thing happen in slow motion that we know is going to happen because science exists and is real and yeah it's just this weird cadence where it's like and now that story that we said was gonna happen right now is happening right now that's like what i was saying about the trump
Starting point is 00:46:09 thing like i feel like that's the world we live in now it's like we we all know we just said this was gonna no oh we're just gonna let it happen okay well yeah can't do anything about it also coronavirus is like not a cute death like you you can't be around a cute family. You have to they intubate you. That's very, very uncomfortable. Like nothing about it. It's not like you're like, you know, peacefully going to sleep, you know, at 84. Like it's like a kind of it's traumatic. It's a traumatic way to go. It's a traumatic way to go. And so it's weird to me to see so many of these 60 plus or honestly any age because we don't know how it's going to affect your body, your organs afterwards, even if you survive it. It could become a preexisting health condition for you having had Corona. But it's weird to me that people are just like, you know what? I really need to stand in this bar with all these leather clad dudes.
Starting point is 00:47:04 And I need it so bad. I'll die on a respirator board you know how leather you can rub at home and whiskey you can drink at home like that's what throws me so hard I'm like for a party yeah but you guys
Starting point is 00:47:19 Smash Mouth was there oh okay in that case that's something you can't really replicate. They were saying like, fuck Corona or something on stage, right? Yeah. Yeah. They were like, and yeah, they said, fuck Corona virus. It wasn't clear if they were just mad at the actual virus or if they were mad at anything
Starting point is 00:47:42 that was inhibiting their ability to all stand next to each other imagine dying for smash mouth yeah i mean imagine dying for remember that that that a party up on mulholland like two weeks ago or three weeks ago where they shot up the party and two people died or one or two people died and it was like but it was like in the middle of covid and like what it was like 200 people middle of covid and like what it was like 200 people in a mansion party on mulholland and then if that wasn't bad enough they were shooting like i was like the 40 party y'all was it worth it right fuck uh all right well let's take another break and we'll come back and talk about more awful shit.
Starting point is 00:48:35 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.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play.

I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church, and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible.

Jamie Loftus will not be watching Frozen Ground. She's going to watch Boss Baby. So if you want to get down with what young zamboni is watching watch boss baby on netflix now back to the show um and then i am going to re-watch
Starting point is 00:53:13 the smurfs uh because as a favor to my children uh and also because i i want to hurt myself. I don't know. I don't know why I'm watching the Smurfs. It looks very bad, but it is number two. I have to understand why it is number two. So I will be watching that. Have you guys seen the Smurfs? No.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Like the new version, like the digital one. Right, the digital one. Right, where it's Neil Patrick Harris and then the Smurfs. They look like they're in the digital one right where it's neil patrick harris and then the smurfs they look like they're in the blue man group well so they come through it's like cartoon mixed with uh reality so like live action my kids call uh anything live action adult movies which is weird because then they're like yeah we were watching adult movies uh around their teachers yeah uh kids keep telling us on zoom school that they're watching adult movies exactly uh but mary poppins to them is adult movies so um cartoons arcade movies that's so cute they're adorable all right guys let's talk about ron jeremy oh lord there are
Starting point is 00:54:27 20 more sexual assault charges filed against him he's being accused of sexually assaulting 13 different women since 2004 i don't know like i was just looking through all these like getty images of him like when he was on the party scene which was like up until a year ago but there's just this like very like early 2000s guys who were in entourage an american pie scene that i don't know it's like they were i ran into ron jeremy one in the bank of america and he was creepy he stared at me for an inappropriate amount of time like it was like you don't want somebody staring at you and then you look like they're probably not staring at me and then you look again and you're like they're still looking at me okay they're definitely looking at me it was very much that where it was just like he was
Starting point is 00:55:19 just gonna look as long as he wanted and i was like this is very weird um and i realized he was ron jermyn and i was like oh this is even worse so i like got my shit and like tiptoed out of there but so i believe like he's a creep i believe it oh i mean yeah i mean he was always even before this we considered him a creep but i just i the thing that really takes me about this story is like, and it really speaks to like what sexual assault really is about, right? It's about power and, you know, control. But it's like, dog, you're like a porn star. You've been a porn star since the 70s.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Like, I don't, it wasn't really that challenging for you to find, to have sex. Like that you had to, that like, it just, it just, for you to find to to have sex like that you had to that like it just it just just speaks to that whole power dynamic where it's like but you could you could have you you've probably had sex with hundreds of people and can have sex probably anytime you want any day of the week right but you had to go rape people yeah i mean it's that whole like Ron Jeremy, like sort of bro shit was enabling this shit. You know, it was like seen as like cool, like by dudes who eat at Pink Taco or like whatever, you know, like fucking scene. like just that fucking scene and everyone knows like he's well endowed or whatever so i think men are always like very weirdly excited by that they're like oh yeah that's cool he's a cool guy just because he has a appendage that's larger than normal it's weird uh and gross so but i mean he also wasn't ron jeremy was in that time where so many women were
Starting point is 00:57:05 being taken advantage of. I have friends who are like, I watched I May Destroy You, which I really loved. It's very, it's by Michaela Cole. It's about sexual assault. It's difficult to watch. It's not like a feel good show, but it does have its funny moments. And she's really good with the subject matter. But I was talking to friends afterwards and they were like, yeah, I watched that show.
Starting point is 00:57:24 And then I realized like, oh, I've been assaulted. It was just so common. The things that were happening to women that some of us didn't even know. Like, oh, you're not supposed to take the condom off during sex without telling me. Oh, you're not supposed to violate my consent in all these ways.
Starting point is 00:57:37 And we didn't know. And sometimes you did know, but it was so socially acceptable for men to press you for sex and do inappropriate things. Yeah. So it's like, of course, so many people are going to come out now and be like, oh, we feel empowered. Because one, there's been a movement that's uplifted women's voices in a way that's never happened before. And two, they're like, oh, that horrible time where I felt bad afterwards, that was assault.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Right. Yeah. bad afterwards that was assault like right yeah the the jeremy accusations range from a child at a party in 2004 a 15 year old child uh and then they go up to as recently as new year's day of 2020 so it's you know scary horrifying shit i'm just always so mystified by these men who are powerful and i mean granted you know his power is subjective but i mean the guy you know the fact that we even know about him like he wasn't famous when we you know he's from the 70s whatever you know right but that's how lasting his his um persona has been but it just always trips me out with these powerful men and people women you know but it's like you already isn't that why people work so hard to get the power and the money
Starting point is 00:58:52 so that they can just like so people want to have sex with you so people want to sleep with you so they throw themselves like just but it's like part of the the allure which is like gross and like what like i think there are people who are pre that that's one of the things that we keep coming up against as we kind of pay close attention to american culture uh for this show is that there's something very predatory uh that lends itself to being good at capitalism that also lends itself to being a absolute like criminal and monster right because if you're good at capitalism then you're probably an excellent predator right it's also weird to me that so many men like even if you don't consider yourself a pedophile will like hang out with pedophiles yeah like how many people were hanging
Starting point is 00:59:45 out with epstein knowing exactly what was going on even if they didn't touch on nobody you're still a weirdo for being there yep malcolm gladwell thomas picker uh wait what malcolm gladwell yeah he was on the lolita express on the flight logs i know i know yeah that's really why what like he's that cool of a guy and i've like seen anybody be like hey that dude's a pedo and i'm like oh let me go kick it with him like i don't want to kick it with his weird ass. I wonder how many people like who have been, you know, on Jeffrey Epstein's island and all that. Like, I wonder, like, what if it was crazy and it was like, if you were there, you were participating. Like, what if that's really what the deal is?
Starting point is 01:00:35 So every person who's ever been there was involved in some way. Do you, I can't imagine a version of reality where these people go there and don't know the reputation. We all knew the reputation. If you read a single article about this dude after the year 2008, he was a known quantity, and these people were hanging with him. It was an open secret like i i don't know how any i can't think imagine any version of reality where they weren't at least fully aware that they were doing something like shady or like we're taking a risk like right at the very least i wonder about naomi campbell a lot because she's been seen in a
Starting point is 01:01:26 lot of photos with them and some of the assaults that were um that were like adjacent to things that she was doing like one of the girls uh said that she was assaulted by uh the french hotel connoisseur that guy who owned the hotels or whatever that mogul while she while she was waiting to go to Naomi Campbell's birthday party. So it's like Naomi Campbell, and she's in a lot of photos. There's photos of her with one of the girls who said that Prince Andrew assaulted her. It's just too many photos where Naomi's like, I'm like, Naomi, what are you doing over here? And she was young at the time.
Starting point is 01:02:02 She was pretty young at the time and you know she's a supermodel I can't say that if somebody was like get on this private jet like you think I'm not gonna pack my little tote and get on the jet I'm gonna get on the G5 right so maybe she didn't know but I don't know Chaz this is too many photos
Starting point is 01:02:21 it's a lot of photos it's a lot but I think I don't know she's also a woman who i don't know if she's not being directly implicated in making the things happen like maybe we uh prioritize the the men who are actually doing the thing exactly yeah no there's plenty of men i'm not trying to throw Naomi under the bus. I was just like, she was just one of those people that I was like, I don't know why she's hanging out with me.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Yeah, yeah. All right, sort of a correction. This next story, we'd been talking about how there's a lot of stories like the New York Times was writing about it, the Washington Post was writing about this idea that American cities were emptying out, people were moving to the suburbs. I was talking about it as more of a part of an overall trend we were seeing where popular culture about how the country is better
Starting point is 01:03:16 than the city was proliferating. And also there trump uh style like video games that had the ethos of you know white supremacy and trump's america kind of built into them so there is sort of this misconception that's being spread by these by the new york times and washington post and msnbc um where they they want to claim that that the cities are all emptying out because people are scared because of the pandemic and the uprisings. And it's not true. It's basically true of only Manhattan, but not Brooklyn. They're leaving Manhattan and San Francisco because they were already, before the pandemic, leaving Manhattan and San Francisco because those cities are overpriced to the point of nobody can live there. Literally nobody can live there anymore.
Starting point is 01:04:18 But everywhere else, they're not seeing any reality to the idea that people are are leaving urban areas for the suburbs it's just a misconception that's probably being spread by the fact that a lot of the media is in man are people who live in manhattan and have rich friends who can just like relocate to new jersey for instance and where would they relocate to jack o'brien let me let them know there you go i mean is there gonna be a time where the market is gonna turn in manhattan like the prices have just been climbing so far upwards it's like is there gonna be a time where it plummets like you know what i mean because it feels like it's just too expensive yeah i think it's starting to but it was already starting to before uh before covid it's just like a price correction i think like um i mean isn't san francisco more expensive than
Starting point is 01:05:20 new york yeah i think it's the most expensive. The most expensive. So, I mean, New York still has a little buffer. Right. There you go. Well, because San Francisco is being fueled by tech. The techs. Yeah. Tech nightmare people. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Yeah, there's also this... Go ahead. Oh, no, go ahead. I was just going to say, there's this really interesting article by this guy who was contacted by tech billionaires who have created these doomsday bunkers. This is before COVID or anything,
Starting point is 01:05:56 but they had created these bunkers that they were contacting him to what they call water test, which is basically like see that make sure that this has every angle covered so that when like money is no longer a thing they can like live self-sufficiently in these solar powered bunkers for eternity essentially and he so he wrote about that a couple years ago and they were kind of tying it to the fact that society does seem to be crumbling because of the trump administration but he was also writing about how in covid he's starting to see people withdraw into their little tech bubbles it was
Starting point is 01:06:42 interesting it was like the whole tech industry is so inherently misogynistic and like built by men for men. He talks about our early experience he had with, uh, I think Timothy Leary, uh, where he was looking at the MIT media lab and was like, why is there not a single woman on the board of this,
Starting point is 01:07:04 of this lab? And then he looked at the technology they were creating, and he was like, that makes so much sense. They're just trying to recreate the womb. It's like the one male drive is to get rid of any friction, any discomfort, because men ultimately have much lower pain threshold and discomfort threshold than women do and yeah it's just an interesting and now that covet is happening and there's like all this conflict
Starting point is 01:07:31 around people are withdrawing into these virtual bubbles that were designed by these like all-male you know a decade ago um wow it's i mean so depressing i just it's so weird how much men hate women and i feel like the tech conglomerate is like the place where they really hate women they hate us over there who just spent their whole life beating on their little keyboards just getting mad getting mad that nobody would love them all we need is your womb bitch right and we're womb and some lips we want lips that feel soft and it's like no you need human interaction with a woman you do if you're attracted to them um also we're humans you can just be friends as well in addition to sorry i'll get out of your way sex people yeah and we can definitely not have any opinions i
Starting point is 01:08:33 just think that if you work in a company where there are no women i can guarantee you that your shit is not fire it is not that's exactly what i'm about to say i was like you want to have no women on this it's trash right you would have just one woman who you just run everything by like hey girl tell us what's wrong here's the thing here's the thing of this is a thing okay girl tell us what's wrong and that's how they would ask um that's the thing about the patriarchy and that's the thing about any kind of oppressive system it ends up fucking the people who created it themselves right yeah so like so like the patriarchy like y'all like no no disrespect to men i actually all the disrespect to men okay
Starting point is 01:09:17 but like you know this is the analogy i always use for this i think it's something like some crazy number like 30 or 40 percent of men who are colorblind I think it's something like some crazy number, like 30 or 40 percent of men who are colorblind. I think it's something like that compared to like, I think it's like I want to say like eight percent of women who are colorblind. So I always say like y'all can't even see the colors in front of you. Like you can't even see what's right in front of you. And you're and you're preventing half of the population who can see all that. Like we women and this has been proven a bunch of times that like we just are just more attuned to detail. Like we see, hear everything.
Starting point is 01:09:55 We know everything that's going on. And that's really not a biological thing. That's because we've been trained up to do that, you know. And so it's like you guys, it's like so you you put all these, you know, when we wonder why the world's like, you guys, it's like, so you, you put all these, you know, when we wonder why the world is the way it is, it's because of that you've cut out half of the population. So you don't, you're losing that amount of creativity, that intelligence, that ingenuity. And then y'all are not even the best at doing stuff. Like you can't run a house. You can be like, you can't, y'all are just messy.
Starting point is 01:10:25 And it's like, we're here and you don't utilize what we have to offer. And all because you want to keep the power. And what does that do? It creates the world that we're in now where we got oil spills every five days. Where, you know, the ozone layer is, you know, is opening and closing depending on what COVID's doing. You know, do we stay in the house or do we not you know what i mean we have like every like if you can't run a household how can you run a business how can you run a country how can you run a country how can you run a world right you know it's one in 12 men are colorblind in the world and one in 200 women are colorblind in the world so the statistic
Starting point is 01:11:07 it stands even with your metrics like yeah it's wild it's wild and when i heard that i was like wait what y'all can't even see the colors i was like and i'm competing against you know i have to fight like 10 times as hard to be taken seriously for people to listen to me and i'm like and i can see the colors is that the tech woman flex like if you're working in tech as a woman like a guy challenges you you're like what color is that ball tell everybody right now in front of the class right no we don't want to shame people for their disability but it is like we could help you we couldn't help yeah you know that's the point and you're not tapping into this resource and you wonder why just just just from the fundamental aspect of imbalance like it's just imbalanced and so that's artificial
Starting point is 01:11:55 enforced balance yeah exactly exactly yeah i think a lot of it goes back to sexual insecurity and biblical times where they just decided we're going to make this whole thing about finding ways to make women do what men want to do. Right. And they were working for a while. They had us. They had us in the first half. Not going to lie. You know, oh, I got a myth. myth there you go let's hear it am i late um i got a myth y'all so you know you know there's the myth of and you may have heard of this but
Starting point is 01:12:38 like the the hunter gatherer like why you know back when we were hunter gatherers why was it that men went to hunt and women stayed home to like do the berries and whatever i don't know they always tell you about picking berries right yeah get the motherfucking berries do the berries so you know the myth is that you know well men were strong men were faster men and that's why they would go out hunting but the real the true reality behind that is this and this is from an anthropologist, that when women, when men would go out, right, a hunting party of like six, if three, if only three came home, it would be sad. It would be horrible. Everybody would be sad. But eventually village life would go back to normal, you know?
Starting point is 01:13:20 Right. But if a hunting party of six women went out and only three came back the village would fall apart and that's because women contributed so fucking much and so as a result of that like so we have this myth that it's like you know strength and that's why you know guys go out there and but the truth is that that you know uh hunter-gatherer societies recognize the the importance and the value of women to the society and how integral we were. And if you lost one of us, you would feel the impact. I mean, it's genetically encoded that if basically hungry mothers give birth to more
Starting point is 01:13:57 daughters because in a time of greater hunger, where fewer people are surviving, daughters are, greater hunger like where fewer people are surviving daughters are like women are the more precious you know the more important valuable uh human being and so when there's hunger uh the human body just naturally switches to giving birth to daughters and it's not like the human body's thinking that it's that that is what is better for the survival of the species. And therefore that is what has come down to us through evolution. That's so dope. Damn. I mean, we have a bomb,
