Okay, let's finish. Then my mom was here, and he was holding onto something, and she said, come here, and he did a drunk stumble towards her. That's it. It wasn't, let me fucking saunter, but he was like,

and fell in her arms. Now, I don't know if that fully counts, because also Hermes, he wasn't here to witness that, and I don't want it to feel like we saw something that might not have been but it was like like maybe feels like the first iteration of like the wright brothers aircraft or something yeah it's like how drunk was he though like was he was he yeah oh just a couple drinks i mean like what like a hip flask of Telemordue?

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them.

Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's a production of iHeartRadio, and it's a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. radio and it's a podcast where we take a deep dive into american shared consciousness this is the one that happens on monday morning uh before we've done anything else we like to come and tell you

what is trending what was trending over the weekend what we're up to personally uh gave you a little little cold open uh yeah top little pre-record uh you know peek behind the curtain yeah exactly exactly yeah you know just letting people know that we have equally boring things going on before we record as after i don't even know what part brian the editor used but i i know we had we were talking about a lot of stuff. We're just going to scoop in a little 30 seconds up top. See if you like it. Maybe we'll do skits. I don't know. This feels like it could evolve.

We'll try some shit, which we know you guys love. We know you guys like us trying different and new stuff. Just disrupting the steady flow of content that you're used to with now. Like, why the fuck are they blabbering at the top of content that you're used to with now. Like, why the fuck are they blabbering at the top of the show?

Because I have cool things to say that sometimes I can't shoehorn in organically into the show. But anyway, here we are. All right. Well, Miles, we're going to talk about Kristi Noem. We're going to talk about the White House Correspondents Dinner. This is new. Yeah. But before we get to all the stuff that is

trending, we do like to let people know a little bit about you and me. A little bit about what we got going on. And we start off with saying something we think is underrated. Or overrated. I don't give a shit, but which would you prefer?

I'm fine with either one. Alright, right let's go underrated baby okay um which one should i do which one yeah you're right i honestly i just think a thing i realized i i was having really interesting cock cock cossacks coccyx pain tailbone pain okay um cock pain i thought you were gonna yeah yeah sorry cock pain terrible woke up with terrible throbbing cock pain uh and i was just like trying to figure out what was going on like i was just trying to figure out what was going on because it felt like i had to take like, oh, sorry. And look, listeners, we're going to go blue here for a second. I thought I'd take a terrible poo poo. Okay.

And I was like, oh yeah, I guess that is brown. And, but this is what brown can do for you. It can help you understand your body a little bit more. I sat on the toilet for like 35 minutes and like nothing was happening and the pain was still there. So then I looked it up. I'm getting to the underrated part. Don't worry. I look up like

tailbone pain and then like just i then it sort of got me down this like rabbit hole about how like i think the coccyx pain is like cock like you know there's just like these like latin suffixes that they use where just like yeah coccyx pain like coccyx concedia or something like that or like sure algia is also like a medical suffix for pain i gotta i gotta tell you the truth when i see those latin terms brain turns off i go dark like a light like a light oh okay i'm just like i come to after a string of latin words and i'm like i don't know what the fuck you just said yeah yeah so i with the thing that i thought i was experiencing was coccydemia and it's just like tailbone pain but i was like thinking about how like when you go to a doctor like the diagnosis will just be like

my ass hurts and they're like yeah you got ass alga and i'm like yeah i know it hurts it's like yeah yeah but you know what i mean like just how yeah like the sort of medical interaction is sort of like the diagnosis is so i think it's just really underrated how like we're taking in what doctors say when half the time they're just confirming what we're saying back to you yeah just like with medical translating it into latin which is great because sometimes they're like oh you have this probably this is what you do other times i've had it like like some like uh like sternum pain from like my posture and i'm like oh so what do you do that i don't know man everybody's change your posture some take some ibuprofen oh yeah like oh okay cool um but anyway

i love shout out to the medical terminology because we're wowed when they just go back oh yeah that's coccidonia did you did you talk to an actual doctor you went web md on no i went web md and i convinced myself i had numerous terrible illnesses yeah yeah but then i realized i just need to stretch i think it was just like opening up my hips a little bit more like relieved all this pressure and i was like and that's how you know i'm a podcaster that sits down way too much yeah i built myself like a standing desk at the end of last week because i was just feeling too sedentary so i just like had 40 you can see like uh i have like 10 books behind me oh yeah i just put my computer on top of that for a little bit oh you truly you

just bootlegged it bootlegged it yeah um but my back is fucked up so uh back's not sure yeah um my underrated miles beyond just uh having a back that doesn't hurt uh i did go camp and took my kids camping uh with a bunch of other families over the weekend uh my underrated is like bugs and birds and sticks and not having cell phone reception I was worried my kids were going to complain that there was nothing

to do because there literally wasn't I brought like a few books that they've read before like a chess board a deck of cards and these little like magnifying glass cup things for like bug collection oh like where you put it over the bug so you can just kind of like you can like put them in and then like kind of watch them through the thing and then you know release catch and release uh but they didn't complain about being bored at all. Usually there's always

a long negotiation happening that always ends with what can I do? Something with media? We don't even let our kids watch TV or do any screens during the week, but they're still throughout

the week constantly negotiating for that right well yeah just like you know something about being out there they just like played with sticks and like made up games and like looked they were really into beetles it was oh hell yeah beetles are like beetle mania out there and it was for me it was good. Like we, none of, none of the grownups had access to like cell phone reception. So we were all just in like a media Schrodinger's cat where like all hell could have been breaking loose, but we were all just like out of range for 24 hours.

Beautiful. Except, except the people with T-Mobile. They probably would have, they probably would they probably would not have told us if the world had ended damn that could have been an ad i mean look that i know you know i'm not even lying i've been with you know i've been with t-mobile since 2002 when i got my first sidekick and i did not know how to start a cell phone plan but t-mobile was willing to take a chance on a kid with no money at all uh how many they took a chance on your

collections at least twice yeah you were actually kind of a high draft pick yeah they're like oh get this kid this kid this he doesn't know what the fuck's going on get this kid five tool uh mobile phone user exactly exactly yeah i mean being a kid out there especially when you grow up in the city it's just another fucking planet and like i remember growing up being so disconnected from nature that in my mind i would fantasize about like what i would like the person i would be in nature i'm like i'll be like fucking swinging from the trees i'll be collecting fucking wood to start fires i'll whittle and shit yeah um so yeah i'm i'm glad that the the kids they still maintain their their human connection to the earth.

Yeah. Beetles are fucking cool. They're just like. Oh, hell yeah. I hadn't really observed a beetle under magnifying glass. Yeah. It's not what I do with my normal day to day, but they look like fucking armored vehicles. They're just like crazy little.

Yeah. I don't know. they're just like crazy little yeah i don't know it feels like a thing that if you just came to earth for the first time you'd be like what the fuck have you seen bro you should get in japan beetles are fucking big business yeah they're called kabuto mushi so mushi means bug kabuto means helmet so like the you know think of like a big ass samurai helmet yeah that's all this shit that's what they look like that's what they refer to like these japanese beetles and people spend fucking a lot of money on these things and like sometimes that you can get them to battle like who's gonna flip the other beetle you do little beetle battles and shit it's a whole it's a whole other world and

like it even set off like a whole like power ranger type show where like the robots were beetles i think it's called beetle borgs out here actually i think they brought it out here i think i think the shit was called beetle borgs they were robot beetles where they're real beetles that's pretty cool yeah like they're all their characters were based on like the look of these kabuto mushi and here look this is what they look like like you see like all these characters had like this is kind of how the beatles heads are oh yeah yeah but they're kind of like in that humans with beetle helmet yeah that's pretty anyway yeah beatles heavy i don't know i bet i'm birds are dinosaurs who seem to understand how cool it is that they can fly

but like i've been i've been talking about birds for for a while beetles though man just yeah just plumping around down there i'm gonna say i'm gonna slide you some beetle tapes man yeah yeah yeah so you got some do you be with these beetle tapes yeah like like and one mixtapes back in the day oh i got a i got a couple beetle tapes world above that then we got home i was just like wrecked so i just like passed out the couch, but we watched a nature documentary about this caterpillar that tricks ant colonies into feeding it.

It's just this elaborate fucking deception. First, it makes you think that it's a baby ant, but then it starts releasing scents that make people think that it's the queen, and they just people think that it's the queen and they just feed it like it's the queen for two years and then like it comes out as like a full ass like

bright blue butterfly like there's footage in this documentary where the ants are just like what the fuck what i told you one of the biggest mind fucks I've ever seen in a nature documentary. I told you. Stunt queen. I told you. Had to just come out and become some big-ass blue butterfly. Scammer. Scammer-ass. Amazing. All right.

What is something you think is overrated? Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Uh-huh. They're overrated. Yeah. I think they just need to realize that staking your entire existence on trying to be this other club arsenal football club is just a losing losing strategy um the north london derby happened yesterday on sunday we went up three nil very quickly uh they scraped two goals back it ended three two

maybe a bit tense for tottenham viewers but for me a lifelong gooner I just basked in the defensive structure and how sound our back line was and I just knew we were going to come away with three points and we're top of the league right now and we are the league we are we have three games left to play and there is the potential that arsenal football club could lift the premiership for the first time in 20 years when our 03 04 team went invincible they did not lose a single match that has never happened in the premier league that's why we sing ours is gold do you have a gold trophy no you don't we do uh but also we're up against a massive sports washing entity in Manchester City where Dubai is basically being like, we're going to just make a team that people will forget about what Dubai is. And they potentially could win too.

They have another game in hand. So things could change. Anyway, so I'm just buzzing off of that. People know I'm an Arsenal fan. It's a big win because we have to keep winning. And basically the way Tottenham fans are looking at it is if we can even get a draw, if they drop points, if they don't get the full three points from winning,

it could totally derail our ability to win the league. And they obviously don't want that. But Hey, you tried and you failed, but here we are. It's great to be here. St. Tottering's day,

St. Tottering's Day has come, and it's another great one. So I just want to say to all the people out there, I know there's Zeitgang that are Tottenham supporters. You guys used to come into my mentions. There was Zeitgang that was Tottenham supporters. There was. You know, also the homie James. The homie James.

Yeah. Big James. Also big Tottenham supporter. I mean, we would text every now and then. He'd be like hey you want to put five on it i'm like yeah just give me the five now bro let's do that uh but anyway love to all but yes to all my gooners a great monday thank you so much it's been so fantastic that was that was the closest i've seen your uh arsenal fandom coming to your laker fandom like i saw a lot of Laker fandom in there. They're both teams.

You got these other people who are like, we're as good as you. It's like, yeah, settle down, man. Why don't you win something? Alright, my overrated is snobbery toward Cheesecake Factory menu. I'm not saying it's fine dining. I do think it's worth taking the time to appreciate that chain restaurants,

I think are the main thing. Our place or our location in space and time in culture will be known for, if not chain restaurants, just like that overall, like, I don't know, mix of everything, chain restaurants just like that overall like i don't know mix of everything a thousand page cheesecake factory menu pop culture shit that like i i think if someone came from the future

to this place in a time machine i my i suspect that the first thing they'd ask to experience would be Cheesecake Factory. I'm sure they will have great restaurants with very well selected, curated cuisine from a great artist of a chef. I think that's always been how food has worked and will continue to work but like to live in this massive appropriation engine of capitalism that i feel like it's what's remarkable about our place in time and space and i'm not saying we should like it but i don't think

we should just dismiss it like i think there's like a built-in sort of shame around it that causes us to not view it as it accurately is which is like this remarkable thing that doesn't make sense but is does exist and yeah from an objective perspective, I think it's bad and evil and also like remarkable. And I think it's yeah, like moths to a flame. Basically, we're drawn to the cheesecake. I was at the mall on the weekend. Yeah. And I guess it's like, yeah, it's like prom season.

I guess there was broke. There were so many kids dressed to the fucking nines waiting to get into Cheesecake Factory and I was that's where I went I know my prom or yeah some traditions they live on forever you know a tradition unlike any other but it's not the masters it's going to the Cheesecake Factory right but don't be like me who would literally eat everything that he ordered at Cheesecake Factory and then go and try and be a kid who was secretly drinking during a dance it's just not like it's just a disaster it didn't like end with anything i just felt awful like i was just not in a good place like when you eat like a like home depot bucket full of fettuccine alfredo it's yeah it's not good for

the soul no not good for the i i feel like i would need to take a nap on the dance floor yeah yeah yeah that sounds terrible i just had to fight through it be like no i'm good dude like you're sweating a lot and everyone else is really cold good dude just ask the fucking dj to play All Paws so I can see walk. Alright, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about some stories that were trending over the weekend or this morning. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive

i guess not over this shit that's the story um drop the biscuit yeah yeah oh not over this shit. That's the story. Um, drop the biscuit. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, not over this shit. Shot my dog cricket. I'm trying to do an M and M rhyme. Um, but anyway, yeah,

man. So the talk was like, Christie, no man, she might, cause everyone was also saying she's been posturing to try and be like MAGA queen. And like,

maybe this is a good running mate. She's, you know, traditionally good looking, which that's all Trump needs to run with obviously Mike Pence traditionally good looking too but yeah her books

a little bit more stable than Marjorie Taylor Greene right as a political entity so like she's like super prior to this I'm doing the pitch heading into this story like a little bit more stable like it turns out stable in the mitt romney way where it's like oh no no humanity under there yeah yeah right my favorite food is hot dog

my favorite meat is hot dog and my favorite pastime is shot dog um so she's got a book coming out because that's how you know you're serious in an election year. You got to have your fucking biography or some memoir come out. The Guardian got a copy. And in the review, they're like, whatever. It's a bunch of bullshit. But the thing that has stuck out for so many people is there's a long fucking passage, apparently, about her 14-month-old wire hair pointer dog named Cricket. Oh, cute. This is going to be such a cute humanizing moment she was

like oh this this this little pup's getting all kinds of stuff it was wasn't behaving during our pheasant hunts what is this fucking victorian england okay maybe a little less humanizing yeah going out going out of quote going out of her mind with excitement chasing all those birds and having the time of her life so like again we're describing a puppy yeah um oh so a puppy yeah but the thing is the dog wouldn't behave as much as Christy tried to control this wild animal you know she tried an electric shock collar it didn't work um and then on the way home from a failed hunt she stops by a friend's house that had chickens the dog the puppy went wild and started chasing and attacking these chickens and apparently you know their just went left

the owner was really sad about the the dog attacking the chickens and gnome wrote them a check to be like hey man sorry about this and instead of figuring out or just accepting that this is a puppy yeah okay i'm sorry content warning trigger warning violence against animals literally gnome took the dog out let me just read this cricket was a picture of pure joy but i hated that dog gnome rights um and the dog had proved herself untrainable dangerous to anyone she came in contact with, and less than worthless as a hunting dog. At that moment, I realized I had to put her down. Jesus. So she led the dog to a fucking gravel pit and dispatched it.

What the fuck? They're like, what the? Everyone's like, what are you talking about? What is this? Why is this in the book? I, yeah. First of all, so the pheasant hunt, like, it's a puppy.

So the fact that it's not, like, immediately perfectly trained, she just hasn't given it a chance. And then on the way home fact that it's not like immediately perfectly trained she just hasn't given it a chance and then on the way home from a trip where the dog has proven unable to resist chasing birds like every bird that it sees she brings it to a house with chickens like she is setting this dog up for failure it's like there's a part of her that was just had an itchy trigger finger and was like, Oh,

you little fucker. Right. Oh yeah. You're going to make me do it. I've seen enough people's court to know that the owner is in the wrong hair, not the dog. Yeah. If you know this about the dog,

then I've, I mean, I don't even know why I'm not even going to, I'm not going to finish it. You fucking know better. So anyway, then apparently a fucking construction crew was like watching this all unfold. And during that, after she put the dog down, she also decided to take out, quote, her family's nasty and mean goat, which, quote, loved to chase her children, took it out to the same gravel pit that same day and dispatched it.

What the fuck? Then again, there's apparently a construction crew that was like nearby, just mouths a gape, like being like, what the fuck is going on? Where is this going? So she loaded her shotgun and dispatched them to,

and put them in the same gravel pit. Every single member of that. Every single one but like no and then so then her her daughter comes home from school is like hey where's cricket and she just like kind of stays dead yeah foster parents are dead your foster parents are dead cricket is dead well i guess we do now know why the story is in the book because there was a construction crew she did the thing you know animals and then turned around

to see a like a bunch of construction workers with their mouths open looking at her and she was like alright I'm either gonna have to put this in my book or kill these people don't get that don't give them the jump on this one yeah yeah but truly like I Or kill these people. Don't give them the jump on this one. Yeah.

But truly. Like. They just can't be. Like the Republicans. Can't be. This was their answer to. Marjorie Taylor Greene being too weird. Right. She's like oh yeah.

I will straight murk a puppy yeah like a puppy for being having too much joy in its heart seems to be like being too puppy her i think but also like there are certainly other options how it's the picture of pure joy there's certainly more options like of what you can do with the dog before you arrive to jabuti shooty in a gravel pit jesus you know what i mean yeah that's so anyway she's like come out now and like kind of doubled down and being like look man it's just what life's like out on the farm and i get that that may be different and i think that's probably why she even thought this was okay because she's

like well a lot of people can connect to like maybe this like rural agrarian thing but i don't think most people are like yeah man every person who lives out in rural america knows you just got to shoot a puppy right because it's too wild for behaving like a puppy yeah yeah but she was like look we love animals tough decisions happen we just had to put down three horses a few weeks ago that had been with our family for 25 years. Yeah. Yeah. That's putting an animal out of its misery that is suffering. Like, I'm sure that there are times that that is absolutely justified.

A 14 month old puppy being too rambunctious for your pheasant hunting excursion is just so there's a difference between euthanasia and inconvenience massacre right you know we're just like i don't know that oh you know what while i'm at it go get that fucking goat real quick yeah like the fact that she had her like vengeance up you know it's a it's a weird thing because i'm trying i'm wondering that this is trying to signal to the base that it's like yo dude i'm down to put a puppy like in the ground you know think of me at the right hand of trump and what kind of i'll get into if i have no sympathy for a fucking puppy baby yeah imagine what we can fucking do or she just thought like i don't know i don't know how in any

reality like you're running for president and this is a country where people like care about dogs more than fucking fellow americans to be quite honest that they're gonna be like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah that's our queen yeah no you can kill people in a movie you cannot kill dogs in a movie without losing the audience like that's yeah exactly like john wick is built off of the concept of they kill dog right well now you're gonna have to top everybody that you see right between the eyes um what if she had taken out the construction crew you know just like yeah just thinking about it yeah she definitely like that crossed her mind for sure right turns around and just sees like with her political fortunes like a she has a

line to the white house at least in her own mind. And then turns around and there's a construction crew just watching her. Or she just puts the gun to her head and she's like, don't make it. I'll catch you. And then a gun to her head and then a

finger over the lips. That's what I thought. So yeah, anyway, good luck. Good luck, Noam. All right. The White House Correspondents Dinner happened this weekend. It's the dinner that celebrates journalists in this case.

Just not the ones who've been killed in Gaza. In fact, Colin Jost given some gentle barbs at biden mostly about his old age uh which we know that gentle bars are old age very sensitive about this all happened well a crowd of anti-war protesters uh were chanting just outside the venue condemning not just the white house but also the under coverage of the war by western news outlets um and you know right on cue the topic of gaza barely came up during the dinner uh neither biden nor jost mentioned it um and like so here's here's

a type of what one of the jokes from jost the republican candidate for president owes half a billion in fines for bank fraud and is currently spending his days farting himself awake during a porn star hush money trial and the race is tied um oh brilliant writing but it's like also the answer to that question is the people chanting outside loudly so it's like you're gonna you made the decision to ignore it but then you have like a joke where the that like literally begs the question of like how's this thing tied and it's like oh i don't know nothing right wrong yeah at all also first of all colin i don't know who wrote this but you're okay fine bank fraud i'm not pro bank farting i'm i'm pro farting i'm pro sex work

you know what i mean farting yourself awake is one of the most human things uh old man can do and dogs too and they get scared and they're like what the fuck was that uh but yeah it would be much cooler tied that's what's so like it just shows that joke is written from the perspective and they get scared and they're like what the fuck was that uh but yeah it would be much more tied that's what's so like it just shows that joke is written from the perspective of these people with such cognitive dissonance that they're like i got a fucking memory hole this real horrible thing that's happening to be like oh my gosh like to this guy joe's doing nothing like literally he's doing nothing and that's probably that's that that sort of is the problem right now yeah like just there there's so many horrifying statistics like the staggering number of journalists who've been killed in gaza um would be it it should be like one of the main

stories that's happening right now um but like it only got brought up... From other journalists. Yeah. In a dinner about honoring journalists and their bravery, they, I guess, didn't feel like they could mention it because the mainstream media does, is trying to memory hold the whole thing. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell, during the coverage, noted since October, about 100 journalists have been killed most of

those deaths in gaza reportedly at least 97 journalists have been killed in gaza so that's you could you could say nearly all yeah not most yeah but yeah the committee to protect journalists have also noted that of all the journalists who were killed in 2023 nearly 75 percent of them were palestinian and they've also suggested that journalists and their family members are being targeted and this is again the committee to protect journalists is saying this pattern of journalists in gaza reporting receiving threats and subsequently their family members are being killed so this is a wild i mean this is for where we're at in the race and how much now gaza and israel is featuring front and center for people like they i don't they're really fucking up so bad like even you have like dude big d democrat types you know what

i mean like just who are now being like, yeah, I'm kind of going to town hall meetings. And like, it's not just like students and people of color who are like, what are you guys doing about this? Like, it's terrible what's happening to the Palestinian people. And when you have that, I mean, like, you know, there's this guy, Mark Pocan, who's a Wisconsin, um, Democrat he's, you know, he's a little more progressive, but like he, he was, he took video at like his town hall meeting. Cause like this elderly woman was like, I'm like really freaked out by like what's happening. And so are my friends.

Like, can you tell the president that they're like, yep. Yeah. That's why I'm videotaping this. So they know that it's also like older older like white ladies who are also equally shocked and horrified yeah by our inaction or rather our encouragement and armament of this whole thing so yeah it's um yeah i mean it it has to be something now they have to really be trying to figure out because now like you know you look at the last like the latest polls biden is behind six points um and you see all these student protests popping up

and it's not just because of the tick tock or whatever the new no it's actually because of the um covet actually you do not know yeah yeah we actually figured out the reason for this uh so uh the the new york post has a theory. So just to recap over the weekend, 200 anti-war protesters at American colleges were arrested on Saturday alone as cops used brute force, including tasers and tear gas, on peaceful protesters. Funnily, something like this had happened before in U.S. history to give people an idea of who's on the right side of this one.

But as the protests continue, the media coverage has just been trying to make sense of how to cover this without grappling with the complaints of the protesters. The genocide of it all. Yeah. The complaints of the protesters. The genocide of it all. Yeah. And they have settled on pathologizing it as COVID lockdowns are the reason behind it. The New York Post had a forensic psychiatrist, Carol Lieberman, who said that this gives them an opportunity to identify with oppressed against oppressors. said that this gives them an opportunity to identify with oppressed against oppressors um the communal aspect of the demonstration may also give demonstrators denied socialization at

a key point in their lives comfort um so what a cool opportunity these kids have been given to identify with the oppressed and get uh pummeled by armed police yeah who'd have thought that the kids whose uh financial outlook looks bleak and have watched billionaires steal their future straight from their faces that they're upset about stuff they think they're they think like they got stuff to complain about that's one thing you always see like, what do these college kids have to complain about? And I'm like, are you like I've said before, when I when I was graduating college, I didn't realize that everything was being stolen right before my eyes. But yeah, enough time has passed. We're like, oh, yeah, that's what happened.

And now you have kids that are firmly understand what is happening, like not just gaza aside just like the the world that they're living in the country that they're living in um and i mean yeah i get that covid definitely affects people but to say that that's the reason why like they're no no one is actually saying that there is empathy here right that's not it's not because it's a fuck it's fucking cool it's the new fucking stanley cru mug or whatever, the new fucking protester mug. And I was like, yeah, I got to have that. There's, there are definitely people who are looking at what's happening are so disgusted and they're trying to figure out how to do something about it. not profit from it or be financially incentivized by doing business with israel or and also just drawing attention to the fact that these kids want the federal government to do something

different but yeah it's like how long are they going to keep doing this shit like it's a it's a covid man it's the tiktok it's the uh it's the fuck what's next uh it's the white claws man it's all the fucking white Claw these kids drink. They made them into radicals. Yikes. I think, yeah. I think they're asking that question. How long are they going to keep doing

this? That's literally the question they're asking. It's only growing bigger. It's only growing. It's only growing. They're going to. We got over the war protest stuff. it's only growing it's only growing and they are so so foolish we got over the war protest stuff come on we went on to be the

what is this 2003 come on man and that's the thing you don't even have you don't even have the thing that you can transition the hippies to the yuppies like they did in the 80s and really get people being like yeah well you know i got i got this shit now so that's kind of cool right right um but yeah man this is it's

it's just it's really it's upsetting it's worrying and like seeing increasingly more people like try and paint like michigan as like this place like well they're gonna throw that they're gonna basically hand the election to trump these people want trump yeah it's like you are being so there's such a bad faith assessment about what's happening and you do that because the second you even get near objectivity you have to grapple with the fact that these people are saying like when they say i'm i'm i don't want a genocide continue and then you have various other supporters say like well i don't want a genocide to continue either right i don't want i don't want it was like okay so then do we do we acknowledge that that's what's happening no well that's not what's happening yeah what the fuck are we talking about

do are we how about let's zoom out do we not like to see a government just unilaterally displace and kill people does that work is that a statement we can agree on um but yeah there's just Does that work? Is that a statement we can agree on? But yeah, there's just anything but actually talking about it in like, I don't know. But this is where we are. And this is the mess that the Democrats are having. This is such a headache now politically. Yeah.

And just a weird weekend to be honoring the mainstream media of America. Yeah. We've kind of been asleep at the wheel on this one one it's like wild too because you see like articles are like what can the biden administration do to get people to realize the economy is doing great what can you do well guess what this problem has an actual such an easy fucking answer how can the how can the biden administration show up support from college students from uh muslims uh arab americans other people who are there what can you do it's easy fucking draw a line in the sand and just say this isn't going to fucking happen anymore figure it out and use the full weight of the government

to actually try and create a positive outcome for these palestinian people um it's but hey yeah we can keep with yeah well fuck it it's it's white claw and covid and fucking tiktok yeah yeah all right let's uh take a quick break and we'll be right back i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit netflix documentary series dancing for the devil the, the 7M TikTok cult.

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

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her.

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

We're back. And there's this thing that happened over, like, Trump and DeSantis had breakfast together on Sunday. He spent the night. What's that? He spent the night. Yeah, exactly. Ow. But I don't know, people are like,

it's an attempt to thaw their relationship after the Republican primary. But then the alternate read is like, it's also Trump is begging for money, which seems like that's just the mode he's in right now. Oh, yeah. So he wanted to discuss the possibility of tapping DeSantis's donor network

which includes deep-pocketed hedge fund billionaires and members of the national finance board uh which i don't know it seems like the premise of that scenario of the meeting is that this is like trump is looking for the sales leads like in Glengarry Glen Ross like hey man doesn't he I feel like he would already have access to like know who

donated huge amounts of money to the number one anybody but Trump candidate so yeah it's just a handful of donors that were bankrolling desantis i think that's why i was like holy shit man right can i get like tap me in bro but also come i mean i don't know this is this is a weird one because i mean while on one hand it's like thought like trump has no interest in ever thawing any kind of relationship. Like once he turns his back or gets, you know, antagonistic, like that's it.

He's never gonna be like, Hey, I was like, I was kind of wrong there. I should have thought. You're my guy, Rob. Yeah. You are my number one guy, Bob. Um, and yeah, this is definitely money bag city. And to your point, it's like, these are all the people who like hate you. So I don't know what you think is going to your point it's like these are all the people who like hate you so I don't know what you

think's going to come of it that's where I think if these billionaires are smart which I'd imagine you don't become a billionaire without being like really Machiavellian transactional and shrewd and you're thinking that you're like watch dude this guy's gonna have to come on his hands and knees to us yeah and then we can fucking extract whatever backdoor bullshit uh we want right from that point yeah it's probably the standard political bullshit happening where it's like yeah they these people donated a shitload of money to ron desantis because they thought an anybody but trump candidate could win and you know preferred that for whatever reason but i mean they're still trying to purchase access so i guess it does make sense that they're still

after like the same fucking weird project of what america should be like you know especially from their perspective so it then they're like all right well then i guess it's not like they're gonna be i don't know i'd be surprised if these donors were like, no, we're actually going to sit this one out. Right. Rather than like, yeah, man, you're going to have to wear my company's logo on the back of every blazer you wear. You want that? You like that? Yeah.

You like that? What do you think about that? Yeah. You like that? You little pay pig. All right. And you have to say you like it. Oink, oink, daddy.

Or I guess they would be the pay pigs in this instance. But anyway, yeah, it's, uh, I, yeah, well, we, we'll, we'll see what happens there because I mean, this is to the point where, uh, I don't think we actually mentioned it on the show, but like Trump's like charging down ballot candidates in the Republican party, like a 5% fee. Like if they're using his likeness and shit or like trying to align so it's like you're extort whatever dude yeah this is this is all very sustainable that's wild like gotta kick up to him now it's straight mob shit yeah that's the sort of thing that at the outset of his involvement in politics he seemed to he was like yeah they like all these un countries should

pay us a protection fee um and everybody laughed and we're like well that's not how anything works but it turns out uh because you know when he has absolute power over an entity in this case the republican party like he just he can he can do that he will remake it in the style of the mob yeah and he just basically what he did is sent a letter basically being like real nice digital ad agency you have here yeah um that's a quote beginning tomorrow we ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use president trump's name image and likeness split a minimum of five percent of all fundraising solicitations to trump national committee wow that's amazing so yeah it's uh whatever man it's look if the way things are

going it looks like trump doesn't even have to, might not even have to raise money, which is so fucking frightening. Like, oh my God. Anyway. So we'll see, man. Hey, November, take your time. Take your time. We're good here. We're chilling, chilling, chilling, chilling.

All right. And then people probably saw that Jerry Seinfeld was ranting about the extreme left. People probably saw that Jerry Seinfeld was ranting about the extreme left. This has been a thing that's been going on for a while with him, ever since 2015 when he got mad that people didn't laugh enough at his bad joke. But I don't know. It seems like it's getting more ideological. So he appeared on the New Yorker's podcast the other day to promote his new Pop-Tarts movie

and blast the extreme left for killing comedy. He specifically suggested that in the good old days, you could watch sitcoms like Cheers and MASH, but that's all gone thanks to the left's pc crap yeah um pc crap is called holding a mirror up to me right it's just like it's kind of it's kind of too stupid to dignify with the response but the changes he's describing are mostly technological like he's pining for a day of like monoculture where like everybody's watching the same shit on tv right and sitcoms

are still big now but nobody's going to invest in like all the guess and check it takes to find the hit sitcoms when they can still exploit older sitcoms uh such as friends the office and i don't know seinfeld which he just got paid a shitload of money to have on netflix and i don't know he just seems like that mad that there's more of a plurality of diverse voices yeah that have platforms today. A lot of it seems to come back to this idea. He had this joke that he

did. He came out in 2015 and was like, I can't do colleges anymore. Everybody's way too woke for me. Again, college kids are a problem. Especially according to old powerful people he said he had to stop doing it because around this time he did this joke about how we scroll through our phones like a gay french king this yeah like did like these big broad gestures which

i have seen people use big gestures to scroll through their phone but yeah he was really playing it up he's definitely playing it up way too much he also the joke doesn't make sense you could make that joke and say it's a French king because the thing you're talking about is being highfalutin

and you know trying to you missed this with the modifier gay yeah right but yeah because both because it like it just doesn't make sense and then he like you know dug in on it and like i mean yeah it's a weird joke like that's why people responded without laughter because it's a weird joke that doesn't weird. And also just like not funny.

You're like, all right, dude, is this like your airplane food bit now? Like we're talking about like how we scroll on phones, like, right. Okay.

Thanks. 2015. Um, but I don't know. I mean like this, whenever people say like woke has ruined comedy, it means someone's called me out on how my joke isn't funny and explained it in a way that really unsettled me and made me second guess if I know what's funny anymore. And then I have to do the principal Skinner.

No, it's not me. It's the children that are wrong. It's the children that are wrong. Not me. Because like, yeah, like this whole idea of because the other thing, too, there was another, oh, like, when people pointed out the lack of, like, black people on Seinfeld. Yeah. He was like, oh, my God, really? Right.

Like, this is so dumb. And has to do this thing where he doesn't even want to have a moment where he could, like, analyze what happened unless he was overtly a decision in which case that's another thing for him to have to deal with but it's like it follows this pattern of people being like dude what's going on with that like or what happened with this he's like it was a pass okay just fuck off the fucking woke left extreme left ruining comedy yeah just don't fucking make me have to answer for any decisions i made and whatever do do what you want jerry like have fun and just leave us alone yeah it's just weird coming from him a comedian whose edgiest bits used to involve like inedible airline food right and who's literally promoting a netflix movie about fucking breakfast pastry right that

he he's like i'm just too edgy for most people. Yeah. Okay. All right, guy. I mean, it was, it was super edgy when he was, uh, you know, in his thirties and,

you know, used his comedy to pick up a high school girl in central park. But that doesn't feel like what he, you want to talk about that, Larry or not Larry, Jerry. Yeah. But I mean,

like, think about, i do wonder because like the person who can get away with you know saying edgy shit and in a comedic place and like pushing people's buttons is larry david on curb and i just wonder how much of this is him just realizing he's not larry yeah he's not larry and like a lot of the credit that he initially got for Seinfeld now in retrospect people are like oh this this guy can

make the kind of observations and like get away with the shit like he's a lot of the genius that was behind the original show yeah yeah because there's a delivery there's a delivery aspect to it too that Seinfeld just doesn't have that larry david does like larry david like he comes from a place of like you know like when he's

fully assured on his bad takes like he does it in a way where you can tell like it's he's still opening himself up for critique yeah whereas like seinfeld's like i am right and i am infallible end of story shut the up you woke left oh right Woke left. Oh, right. Okay. Right. Um, but anyway, anyways, all right. Thanks, Jerry. Thanks, Jerry.

Um, can't wait to hear his takes on the protests, uh, on college campuses. I'm sure that was factoring in his head too, because he caught a bunch of criticism for visiting Israel, like in the end of the year and like posing with guns and shit. And I was like,

what the fuck kind of weird macho maniac shit is this yeah and he's like they won't clap they won't clap they're ruining comedy all right uh the i the that whole story i just wanted to cover to get a little a little taste of sorry just let it go let it go how do you get it on black people on your show where's the black people on your show Let it go. How can we not have black people on your show? Where are the black people on your show? Wait, that guy's black?

Okay, well, I thought he was Filipino. You can't blame me. That would be a fucking bit on Seinfeld where there's some biracial person. And you're like, you keep calling me Filipino, Jerry. That's what I thought you were. I'm half Filipino. What's the problem? But you are. I'm half Filipino. What's the problem? But you are.

All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Monday, April 29th. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye.
