I considered getting YouTube,

whatever the subscription thing. So I could just like leave it on the background and listen to it. Just get ad blocker for Chrome. No, no, no. Just so that, so I could keep it going on my phone in the background.

So I didn't have to just sit there and watch it, but like listen to it like a podcast. Gotcha. Um, you know, they get you, uh, that is how they get you.

All right. Well, you are miles gray yeah of course i am jack and uh these are some of the things that are trending eric clapton so he's uh he's come out with some takes on uh the the pandemic has really just been like the perfect virus for revealing how dumb very rich people are yeah like just how isolated people damn near 80 years old like yeah thanks to the left yeah yeah um but anyways he has rallied against covid 19 measures discussed a uh discredited theory that people are receiving pro-vaccination messages subliminally in videos um so yeah i mean it's like wow i didn't realize that clapton was a big joe rogan fan is that a person is that a rogan thing yeah well

it's just like all this whole like mass psychosis shit that a lot of anti-vaccine. Man, it's like a group hallucination, which a lot of people who study are like, this isn't that. But that's not to say that this entire field isn't like something worth discussing. But that has nothing to do with Eric Clapton. He's just kind of being like, it's just I don't know what to say. You know, because now he's like, him and like van morrison are also you know anti-vaccinated up together you so yeah he said he was quote mystified when quote nobody wanted to hear his anti-lockdown songs which just challenged him even more there's nothing like

not listening to an old white guy who's used to being listened to it's just like confused yeah um he said i'm cut from the cloth where if you tell me i can't do something i really want to know why i can't do it and it seemed like i'd had a wall built around me but i thought i'm gonna do this oh you mean the most annoying type of person yeah yeah yeah yeah sarah palin also tested positive for covid uh is unvaccinated, and therefore, federal judge had to delay her defamation case against the New York Times. I don't know the details of it, but I'm gonna go ahead and say,

whoever wins, we all lose. It was something that I think it was a, there was something that was implying that a campaign ad was referencing when gabby giffords was shot in arizona like i think tying the rhetoric to the two i don't know it's like you know like you said uh i i'm rooting against both yeah yeah it'll be interesting probably not this way this isn't how we want to see the new york times taken down but uh we'll talk no no

absolutely not in the future about we want it to be we want to see the New York times taken down, but, uh, we'll talk. No, no, no, absolutely not in the future about, we want it to be, we want it to go down the right way where people go, Oh my God, this isn't journalism. What the fuck have these people been talking about? Yeah. Um,

and not, Oh my God, they're mean to Sarah Palin. Stop. Well, uh, in a related story done with COVID is trending because Barry Weiss, uh, went on bill maher

and that's that's a sentence that we don't even need to finish there we go and she went on a rant about how she is over covid and i mean she's right that she said i know many liberals who feel the same way but they're scared to say so i know many liberals who feel the same way and post that shit on yeah facebook every day no one's scared to say it this is not a secret opinion there's bullshit people everywhere uh and to merely articulate it as i'm over this pandemic like right right from you because she was saying things like i already i got to the end of spotify i've already done all this sudoku type things of she's and you know sort of framed as if oh i'm sorry was was the government not giving you enough stuff to do as you got to just frolic

like in your you know very charmed existence without understanding what the pandemic is from like the majority of the earth but right that's where bar is coming from uh then sarah saying stuff like we said we got to get the vaccine then we'll go back to normal we didn't go back to normal so what's the point even god like could you could you really announce that you know little about how people live that aren't just in your contacts on your phone? Yeah. And then hashtag my high school was weird is trending. Just people dropping weird anecdotes about their high school. Give me an example of a good my high school was weird anecdote.

So one was smokers, students, and teachers. They all took smoke breaks together. Hashtag my high school was weird anecdote so one was smokers students and teachers uh they all took smoke breaks together hashtag my high school was weird uh another one i'm from a small town we had a drive your tractor to school day and donkey basketball games it's exactly what you think students arriving to school on farm tractors and kids staff riding a donkey while playing basketball in the gym that rule i mean a lot of this shit is just like you know you went to school in a rural location it sounds like do you have any weird things about your high school i think like mine wasn't like you know i went to a catholic high school so there were like these like old retired priests who like had like their own section of

campus that they just like died in and like they'd walk around like yo who's that fucking ghost you're like that's father dope bro like i don't know what that means um and also i don't know there's a lot of like actors went to my school you know what the weirdest thing was okay so my freshman this isn't even weird this is just american racism my freshman year you're like paired with someone who to be like your big senior brother or whatever like mentor type person they paired me up with a dude who was a legit white supremacist he had an iron cross tattoo and like had a like a dta like don't trust anyone tattoo and everybody i remember like the

older black kids at my high school they're like yo i don't know why they and everybody i remember like the older black kids on my high school they're like yo i don't know why they paired you with him like that dude's straight trash and i was like what and they're like yo holler at me if you need anything like thank you my god like i had no idea all right hold your buddy's hand we're going on a field trip and the guy was mad charismatic too he was like stealth with it you know what i mean like he wasn't like in like barely would, you know, say anything,

but other people were like, yo, you're paired with him. Yeah. I was like, who fucking decided these things? It's not like, is that a very super diverse school,

but. Yeah. I mean, I went, I went to two very different high schools. One was like a small Catholic school in Kentucky. Like they, we used to have like field parties like in like people's like horse farms just like you could just like drive out to a place

and like get a keg and like the parents didn't even need to not be there you just like try not to spook the horses i don't know that was a cool thing about it uh and then i went to like a prep school in new england and I couldn't get over the fact that hockey was like the big sport there, but that's not that weird. Let's just, I thought, I thought that that was just from Disney movies,

but apparently not. Yeah. I don't know. I should have come up with something. Look, I just sprung that on you last minute. I should have warned you, something. Look, I just sprung that on you last minute. I should have warned you, you know? And I had to just dig into my trauma memory folder

to dig that one out. So have a think on it and get back to us. I mean, we did have a day that was the purge, which was wild because it was like before that movie came out. But like on that day, you could just like, you know, kill whoever in school. Oh my God.

Not my high school, my junior high. we did this thing called the anne frank experience where what we had to pretend to be we had to pretend to be jewish people who were fleeing from nazis like and it was like an overnight thing that you did at the school and And you would like have to be quiet. And then we would like run from like room to room and we would hide in a church. And I'm not joking. There were teachers that had legit Nazi like uniforms, like regalia. What? Yes.

Yes. Yo. It was the Anne. Yo, it was so wild i remember and frank experience or like whatever yo they and it was like done in this way to be like isn't this so terrible i'm like yo why is this dude dressed up like urban stone bonfire right and like the teachers like enjoying it way too much yeah um but yeah it was it was like one of those things meant to teach empathy like in that like very stupid 90s way with like no idea for new like new like new uh nuance at all right and i remember at the end we did a like when we were talking about the holocaust we were

going to visit a holocaust museum and our teacher right before said you know like you know how we did like the anne frank thing she's like some of y'all some some kids parents did not want their kids to do it because they think the holocaust was made up and i was like yo this school is all like what the fuck are my fucking classmates my god it's in 98 y'all the 98 in los angeles yeah yeah damn hey it's it's everywhere you turn baby we're opening up to middle schools. The middle school I went to in eighth grade, if you were a student of the month, you got to go to the headquarters of Long John Silvers and tour the headquarters of Long John Silvers.

Oh. Which, I don't know. I always thought that was weird. And then the Backstreet Boys came there one time and played for any student who didn't have detention, which I did not make. I did not get to go. All right. Let's take a quick break.

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 hear them.

Why is that? Just come here and 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.

Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?

We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

And we're back. And let's see. Bubbles. People are talking bubbles. Not for the fun reason either. Oh, not a bunch of West Ham fans? Yeah, no. Super bubble slash bubble foam. People are competing to explain exactly how the U.S. economy is fucking up right now.

One person's theory is that it's not just one bubble that's going to burst. Every major asset class is a bubble right now, which doesn't sound good. What are those major asset classes? I don't know, man. Homes. Probably Pogs. Baseball cards. sound good what are those major asset classes i don't know like homes uh what probably pogs baseball cards uh sneakers cds cds oh like uh like criterion collection right right yeah yeah

okay so equities fixed income so stocks bonds cash uh alternative investments look i'm stupid and i guess we're all gonna get rinsed so bring it on then yeah every every time there's a thing like this it's just an opportunity for very wealthy people to just consolidate more wealth right yeah there's just they have that whole list of like bubble you know uh bubble not bubble real estate bubble real estate bubble real estate like this is a bubble that's a bubble and then uh next to zycoin they just say moon that's weird oh it doesn't seem very sophisticated but all right it's like this is the new gold yeah uh julia fox is trending she and kanye went out to eat in matching leather outfits talking about there's also the matching what is that the blue one that looked like jeans

is that no you know like kim wore those like silver like thigh high boots right like ever this thing you know she's rocking that if like and you're like right because we all can kind of picture like that look or like right yes the the silver high boots um she's rocking them people like whoa what's what's julia is she taking shots at kim i don't know well my real thing is like is i'm not sure if dating tiny is good or bad for julia fox in the long term um like if this makes her a meme and then she'll never like what does she do past this i mean i know she's she's got a career but i'm just curious what the flying so close to kanye does for somebody yeah i don't know it did you saw the outfit the all gene outfits they were

rocking too right uh kim and no julia fox and kananya oh yes yes i have those were dope those were dope but yeah i don't know probably like the way that celebrity works now like can't be bad right it's everybody's talking about her doesn't seem like anyone other than kathy griffin uh like the more people talk about them like gets them less work right right right so yeah who knows uh so we'll see i mean i know the other thing that was trending with them is uh mostly kanye because of that the documentary that's like it just i think they showed a portion of it um a sun dance and it was just he's been saying whole time it's like i need control over my image and people like you signed

a deal where you don't have the editing like the power of the edit over this so it's a documentary about him uh like any specific oh okay yeah i mean that's cool yeah so yeah he's got um it's like it starts off with you know you see him like apparently like at a like an after party when like mace is like the biggest act right and he's just like and kanye's like in the cut and then once he started doing like bigger records he hired these guys to be you know basically document his shit like you know people said like he must have thought it was like hoop dreams but for rap that sounds cool i would I would enjoy watching. Yeah.

Very interesting to see how, like where it all, I think it's something like four and a half hours. Oh, less interested. I think you'd imagine you break that up into sections. Right. But who knows?

I mean, the Beatles one was eight hours, seven hours. So yeah, maybe, maybe it'll work. Carbon capture trending. the answer to all our prayers right we're done we're done here with all this global warming nonsense you capture the

carbon and then you make it go away that's what royal dutch shell uh was saying i will use their legal name um they have a carbon capture facility in canada and like this watchdog group was just kind of monitoring it. And they're like, fam, it's putting out more carbon. It's emitting more carbon than it is capturing. Please, please, please. My mom calls me Royal Dutch Shell when she's mad at me, man. What am I, on trial here?

I feel like I'm getting yelled at. Come on now. Call me Shelly. Shell. But yeah, they were like to comment on this analysis and shell all they would said is the analysis was wrong okay i mean this is the thing carbon sequestration has always been like like booty science they're like this isn't this stupid like that's not the solution at all it's to completely change to diversify our

energy mix and things that are creating carbon not being like yeah man here's a machine to take the carbon and then put it in the ground i mean it actually is not doing what it says it does yeah no it's weird because the if you're gonna trust anyone to handle climate change you'd think that you'd be able to trust the uh companies that knew about climate change before uh the public and did nothing about it and in fact doubled down on causing it so yeah shocking to me especially yeah and you got it you got you gotta trust a company who is able to destroy the niger delta and like you, like two generations really. So I think anything's going to pale in comparison to the Anne Frank experience. I did think of something from my high school,

though, that in retrospect is kind of weird. So like I said, I went to a Catholic school and, you know, many of the classes were taught by priests who were pretty checked out and just, you know, collecting a paycheck and showing Braveheart in Spanish class. And so I had a priest teach my Spanish class actually one time and he set aside a day where every one of his classes competed to eat as many white castle hamburgers

as you possibly could. And kids were like throwing up out the window and shit, like just trying to cram it in because then you like, I forget what the prize was, maybe a trip to the Long John Silver's headquarters. But it was so, so just unhealthy, like grotesque.

People were like spitting them out and like just trying to like hide them. And like, I remember feeling so fucking sick afterwards. But the basic memory of my education while in Kentucky is that it was sponsored by fast food. It would seem like. I think we also had like a chick-fil-a at lunch we did have chick-fil-a at lunch oh that was something you could buy sometimes anyways not not great but also we'll never live up to uh the and frank thing the and frank experience that you should uh stop doing this podcast and just do a podcast about that i should

just talk to the teachers like yo what the fuck were y'all thinking because i i just as i said this i on the side i texted my friend like two of my friends who we all we all went to school around this time and my one home girl she was like you know my parents didn't even let me do that shit they said fuck that like we're not having you what the fuck is this no and then maybe that was like the teachers being like they fucked with our idea well uh her parents are holocaust deniers yeah yeah right no no no definitely not all right at least not there they do they do a damn fine job of welcoming me in their home uh which is always a thing you never know but um the other thing was my other friend brought up that the the costumes were rented because it's like la so like some kid's parent like runs a

costume company sure so they rented period specific costumes now i don't know if my friend is just trying to be in a wannabe nazi apologist it'd be like i mean that doesn't i didn't assume that they were like collectors i just you, you never know, man. I'm just saying you, I, in my mind, it could have been, they're like,

you know, my granddaddy brought this back from the European theater. Yeah. And we kind of low key fuck with it. So I don't know. Uh, but all that to say, I'm please let us know.

You're just amazing experiences. Cause I know this. Yeah. It's like, I'm sure someone can top the anne frank experience they would scream in fake german and shit wow i remember we were like we would try and sleep in our classroom like we all just sleep on the floor and then like you was just here pounding on the door and it was like someone had a dog that would bark and shit it was fucking wild the fuck man it was an overnight had a dog that would bark and shit it was fucking wild the fuck

man it was an overnight thing yes your parents had to sign up for missions slip and shit wow i mean that's a common thing to say it out loud now but like it just went in one ear not the other i feel like overnight things with students is a common thing that feels just like a bad idea i did that a lot like especially in like eighth grade like just like lock-ins or whatever yeah but this one was like such a psychological experiment yeah so like it's hard to be like a pubescent horny kid when people are screaming like around you. What the fuck?

All right. Well, uh, shout out to those teachers that, but I mean, for a long time, the, what's it called? The, um, Stanford prison experiment that was like seen as the height of like academia, even though it was a complete bullshit like um lie that it actually like proved anything or worked or what wasn't just like over determined by the so like i could see a teacher being like yo we're gonna like really prove some shit and like blow these kids minds yeah this and i'm you know to be honest i feel like most of the kids out of that school and none of

them ended up being nazis wow just i mean that's saying something right oh oh keepers got it got it got it very different yeah yeah as of yet still different we'll see all right well that's gonna do it for us on this monday afternoon we're back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourself yep get the vaccine yep wear a fucking mask don't do nothing about white supremacy and we'll talk to y'all tomorrow bye bye i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.
