If you need any evidence or further evidence that we are broken as a people and we are broken as a people because everything's out of fucking control and you know, it's out of control and the media world is crazy and everything is black versus white. Everything is race. We know this. We see it on a daily basis. But if you need any just any sort of indicator about how horrible and dreadful we are in 2025, we have been talking all week about this Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark thing, which by the way, still no evidence that I've seen.

It's funny how this story is just kind of fading away. It's fading away. Like that... The shit that we focus on is mind-blowing. The fact that this has been the hottest story all week and here we are in day five, day five of this investigation of monkey noises and last I've checked we still have nothing and as every day goes by that we continue to have nothing it is a greater indicator that it never happened none of it ever happened and we've known that none of it ever happened yet this became this huge story this week and everything is screwed up and messed up and like, I don't know, it's almost

hysterical. Like we are living in some sort of alternate universe and I choose to believe that there are some group of people watching us right now and we are being used as some sort of study, some sort of Truman Show type study where like there's people on another planet that we think are like the wackos off on some other planet like aliens, but it turns out they're the brilliant people and they're sitting around watching all the dipshits on Earth eat each other over dumb shit. It's actually and maybe they're the ones responsible for it because maybe they're in control of everything we're

seeing on social media and all the reasons why we hate each other and maybe they're thoroughly. Oh wait, that's just like our politicians and stuff. my bad that's actually who's responsible for all this my fault social media fake bullshit on the internet ai people fighting we all hate each other and we're all being mocked by all the elites of the this actual planet maybe not aliens maybe it's not aliens on a faraway planet, someone's sitting up on Mars or Jupiter watching us like a bunch of dipshits that we are, but like it is wild and I'm still sitting back waiting for the the big reveal on who the monkey noises guy was. Is there a monkey noise

guy? Is there a monkey guys woman? Is there a monkey voice I should say couple? Like I'm just waiting this I'm waiting for it like hey I'm sitting back give say couple? Like I'm just waiting for it. Like hey, I'm sitting back. Give it to me. Look, I'm just sitting back here waiting for you to show me who is responsible for these awful, heinous, racist acts that have obviously happened because they've occupied the news cycle for the entire week. So please, I'm waiting.

Just sitting back, just chilling, chilling, still waiting on it. Kind of like how OJ, up until his death day, was still waiting to find the real killer. I'm just waiting to find the real monkey noiser. So just come on now, bring it on. But I do want to get into something that is truly the, like I was listening to a podcast today and like it stems from this Angel Re-shit.

It's crazy, but we'll talk about that after these words. Alright so I was listening to Jason Whitlock's podcast and generally speaking I don't because honestly I don't like Jason Whitlock. I find him to just be boring for the most part and then if you're a white guy who says he listens to anything Jason Whitlock says, of course the argument becomes, oh that's just a white guy looking for a black guy that will validate his Uncle Tom racist beliefs. I'm like, no, I'm just looking for a different viewpoint. You know, like I'm looking for something other than like there was clearly some bigoted white person that was in the stands making monkey noises and you know something other than you know the

bullshit we see. So on a story like this I will listen to that because everyone else is going to have one view and someone like Jason Whitlock who you may look at and say is full of shit and maybe he is but everybody's full of shit. You know I saw Dave Portnoy talk about how Jason Whitlock chases clicks. How do you think Barstool was born? Like literally everything you do is to chase clicks. That's why I'm fascinated when people talk about click chasers, like the

clicks are the lifeblood. The views, the downloads, the listens, they're the lifeblood. So you judge people for doing whatever it takes to get those when you have done whatever it takes to get those. But that's neither here nor there. So anyway, one of the things that has come out of this whole story this week that's been one of the bigger talking points was where noted race Bader and constant looker of about to be on the verge of tears or I made that up. It's not well worded.

I understand it but Ryan Clark who always looks like he's on the verge of tears and always looks like he's lecturing you, Ryan Clark called out RG3. RG3 of course said that it's pretty clear that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. I would say to most people it is. I don't know that that's an outlandish viewpoint but it was outlandish to Mr. Ryan Clark because Mr. Ryan Clark said that Mr. Robert Griffin III doesn't understand what's going on because he doesn't have a black wife and since he doesn't have a black wife he doesn't know how black women feel therefore he shouldn't be talking about this. Well, Leveon Bell I believe is who then responded to RG or to, that's all running together here,

but I believe it was Leveon Bell who then responded to Ryan Clark to point out that Ryan Clark has a baby mama that's white. His first daughter was born from a white woman, therefore he's kind of a hypocrite and then that becomes the hot talking boy. Then Ryan Clark has to issue a statement on his social media that he's proud of all of his shit. Then he posts a picture of his daughter to let everyone know he is proud of his mixed-race daughter. Then I'm listening to this Jason Whitlock program and he's got Marcellus Wiley on, who by the way, I really enjoy Marcellus Wiley, but he's talking to Marcellus Wiley and they're then breaking down the issue with like guys got a white woman and blah blah and I'm like how

fucked up are we as a people that this is what we're doing we're doing this today we are literally like you want to talk about people using props Ryan Clark now that someone's pointed out now first of all it's fucked up to even have to point out that someone's got a white baby mama but you're not gonna have to point out that someone's pointed out now first of all it's fucked up to even have to point out that someone's got a white baby mama But you're not gonna have to point out that someone's got a white baby mama if homeboy ain't telling you that Robert Griffin the third's Opinion means dick because his baby mamas are white and like it's a whole like I like I'm not one to say that things are evil or terrible or like or over-the-top because I've done dumb shit And I'm aware. I've done dumb shit. We've all done dumb shit.

And I'm not a prude. You know, I've done dumb shit. Like dude, when we were in Philadelphia, the nastiest bus station skank strippers came up to the radio station. I'm talking nasty. Like if you've ever seen Wolf of Wall Street and like he was talking about the different levels of like hookers that they would bring up to the to the office to bang and he's like then there were like the penny stocks the chicks that you'd have to get a penicillin shot. These chicks were like penicillin shot chicks and we had to bring them up to the radio station and act like they were super hot

because they were going to be at Wing Bowl and this this strip club was going to be at Wing Bowl. So that act like they were hot and this one chick that was just the most vile bus station unappealing Kensington looking piece of trash was up there and at one point pulled off her pants and wiped her bare ass and left a snail tail on the glass at the radio station I am NOT a prude okay people say fucked up shit and do fucked up shit on podcasts and on the radio. It happens, I'm not a prude.

However, think about the level of fucked up you're dealing with. If to make a point about women's basketball, that's right, the WNBA, or as the hip kids call it, the W, you're as the hip kids call it the W. You're going so far as to use your mixed-race daughter as a prop to make your point, thus making your mixed-race daughter who probably wants nothing to do with this that no one knew existed, which is probably for the best because if you're the kid of somebody famous, most of the time if people know who you are, it's probably for something bad.

Now you've thrown your mixed-race daughter into the middle of this whole thing. And it's just like, how effed up is this? Over the WNBA, not over the regular NBA, not over the NFL even, over women's basketball. You've got Ryan Clark and RG3 and the rest of the media world at war with each other over the WNBA and you're going so far to make your point and to win a battle that you're posting pictures of your mixed-race child when she was a baby and when she was an adult to make your point. Like

I imagine like I'm assuming that Ryan Clark's daughter didn't care that maybe he went to her, but then again why would he have to go to her? Half of her is white right so she didn't and Marcellus Wiley actually brought up an amazing point in this. So like what you've done now is you've set up a world where because your daughter that you love is mixed race because she's half white. Is there only select things she's going to be able to talk about and understand as're so caught up in saying dumb shit clout chasing to idiots on the Internet. And then there was another point that Marcellus Wiley made and I truly think that he's an incredibly smart dude. I mean, he went to Colombia. Doesn't necessarily mean you're smart, but he went to Colombia. I think he's a smart guy and I think he's a fair level-headed guy.

And he said something that I found to be the most interesting in all of this, which was, I don't know that he said it, I think Whitlock posed this question and I think it's a fair question as it relates to Ryan Clark and why he's so adamant in this whole thing about how you don't understand things because you don't have a black wife. Well, keep in mind he does have he knocked up a white woman at one point and this question look I'm not talking out of school. I'm just telling you what I heard on a podcast. Okay. But he asks do you think that Ryan Clark has to go over the top in all of this because he in his own home life is dealing with the fact that now he's married to a black woman, but he's got a white half white kid, which means he's banged a white woman before. And do you think that like that impacts him in his home so he feels like he has to ride in on a white horse and be kind of like the black savior and all this to try to overcompensate for the fact that he used to like the white milk or whatever the fuck, I don't know what the answer is to that, but it's actually an interesting question. How much of what that dude is doing is because he feels like he like he almost feels like some sort of weird guilt in

some way about knocking up a white woman and then being married to a black. Like what is he trying to overcompensate for because his view on the thing with Angel Reese was so incredibly stupid that like you can't have an opinion on whether or not this woman hates this other person because your wife is white. Like so the only people that can judge whether or not Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark are black women like Oakley Doakley

like it's a it's an inane point. It is a horrible stupid lazy point. But is that coming from a place of deeper issues or deeper issues in the home or like some sort of like trying to overcompensate for something? Like are you trying to overcompensate for the fact you knocked up a white woman by writing to the defense of black women constantly? Or like at least in that instance, like saying saying like is that what's happening here? I don't know the answer to that. I just thought it was an intriguing question when I heard it

and you say well Josh where's it your place to talk about? Look homeboy made it everybody's business when he turned into a black white thing like like Ryan Clark did that. The reason why now he's having to post pictures of his half white daughter, which is gross. It is a gross situation. Now what you've done is you've relegated or you've knocked RG3's wife into a corner of just being some white bitch. Then you've taken your daughter and you've now just put a label on her as a half black, half white woman and that's what she is now. Like, you're fucked up, dude. And a lot of people are fucked up. And I'm not saying what you've done is the worst thing anybody's ever done. But what you've done is fucked up. You've taken a discussion about whether or not a basketball

player hates another basketball player. And you've turned it into, see, look at me. I have a half white daughter. How about that? You're not wrong. They tried to out me for that. Well, like, what the fuck are you doing? Like, when I look at white daughter. How about that? You're not wrong. They tried to out me for that. What the fuck are you doing? When I look at Ryan Clark, to me, and the reason why I do not like him, is he just looks broken to me. He looks like a guy who's trying to be all things to all people, if that makes sense, or at least to the culture but like he always just looks uncomfortable doing what he's doing like he owes something to someone like I don't know how to explain it

but if you ever watch him I think you'll see what I'm saying like he just looks like a broken person like this media world this podcast world is having to take a side on these things like it looks like it's broken him in some way I don't find him interesting and I find the angle he took on that like that's your angle like and I don't know if he went to his daughter and was like like I don't know if his now maybe his daughter was offended by it when when Leveon Bell says he's

got a baby with a white woman. I don't know and maybe his daughter was like dad do something and he had to do that. I don't know that she would like I don't know that she'd care enough about it to do that because no one like I couldn't know that she would like I don't know that she'd care enough about it to do that because no one like I couldn't have told you what his daughter looked like or who she was but now I've seen her because he's posting pictures of his daughter and and you could say well, Leveon Bell went too far on that. Maybe so but it

all started because Ryan Clark couldn't help himself because he has some sort of issue with RG3 and it was obvious that his issue is deeper than just his opinion on Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese because then he goes real deep on how he was a horrible teammate and a bad person and blah blah blah blah Like the whole it's all nuts is what we're dealing with here. The world is it's crazy. But anyway more to come
