Starting point is 00:03:45 Right. And black communities say, how many Al Sharpton? Right? He's like lost a human being. Do you know how in England they use stone? Black communities say, how many Al Sharpton's? He's like a Russian dog. He's like, look, I took off three Al Sharpton's. Yo, but the photo of him with that selfie where his body's in the mirror too. You talking about the old man news? Yes, that one.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Them news, papa. The funny part is at first I'm like, is he wearing a dress or something? Does he have a child, like a six-year-old in the background? Oh, that's him in the mirror. That's him. He looks like a little boy. Yeah, he don't know how to hit the mangles. That's a young person's game.
Starting point is 00:04:19 All right, guys, we're going to get into it so you can get to know Lacey better. But before we do that, we're going to give you a preview of what we're going to be talking about. We're going to be talking about the Thai cave rescue, which turns out really fucking scary. But eight out of the 12, okay, technically 13, are out of the cave. We're going to talk about the civility wars. Civility wars. are out of the cave. We're going to talk about the civility wars.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Civility wars. We're going to talk about Michael Cohen sending some not too subtle messages to Trump and Giuliani. We're going to talk about Brexit and what's going on over in the UK. We're going to talk about Paul Manafort being in solitary confinement. We're going to talk about the US's war
Starting point is 00:05:03 against breastfeeding. Boo! Yeah. Boo breastfeeding. Boo! Yeah. Boo breastfeeding. It's disgusting. Gross. I think it's so disgusting. We're going to check in with Lindsay Lohan, as we do every Monday.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Low check. We're going to check in with fast food restaurants. What state has the most fast food restaurants per capita and how's that working out for them and we're gonna ask the question is donald trump a cult leader and should we do a uh sports check-in should we check in with the world uh yes we do need to check we will do that yes we do but first we like to ask our guest lacy what is something that you've searched in the not too distant past that is revealing about who you are oh okay something that i've searched in the not too distant past that is revealing about who you are oh okay something that i've searched in the not too i want to get the name of this correct
Starting point is 00:05:50 so i wrote it down about it so it's called link market research okay um and i searched it because it's my new favorite scam okay um basically you that's that's saying something yeah you know i love a good scam. I'm actually running a scam right now today, guys. Venmo me a dollar, I'll tell you your future. I'm running this on several podcasts, but that's not the point. This scam came to me by mail. So my roommate actually, like, she kind of dabbles and does a bunch of different things for money or whatever.
Starting point is 00:06:21 That sounds hella shady. I know. The way you said that. I'm going to leave it that way, too. It too let your minds wonder appears on her business card exactly but okay so um she signed up to do some market research you know they have secret shoppers and stuff so this link market research is linq if y'all want to look it up also i'm helping y'all kind of um so they send you a check for like eighteen hundred dollars and then you deposit it and then you're supposed to go to whatever stores they tell you to and buy gift cards. And then they want you to scratch the back of the gift card off and send them a picture of the front with the numbers on it and the scratched off back.
Starting point is 00:06:58 And they ask you like not to use it until they tell you. So basically after their check bounces, which takes like two weeks, they just steal the gift card. Holy shit. Really? Yes. Isn't that terrible? Wait, how did you find out about this?
Starting point is 00:07:13 Okay, so my roommate, I guess, signed up to be a market researcher. She got the check in the mail. She was like, oh shit, this doesn't look real. The check even looked fucked up? The check looked fucked. They looked like they were printed at the house on their printer. The perforation was barely perforated. And the signature was a big circle.
Starting point is 00:07:30 I put it all over my Instagram stories. I was like, damn, this is trifling. But listen, y'all. When y'all get a check from Lacey Mosley's research, y'all cash that, okay? That's going to be legit. Send her those gift cards immediately. I was so fascinated by this because they've been doing it for years and getting away with it. My roommate didn't get scammed.
Starting point is 00:07:47 She knew what was up. But I looked into it because it's been going on forever. And it's pretty low. If you Google their name, nothing comes out about it being a scam. Interesting. So they claim that they're doing this as market research somehow? That they just want you to show them the gift card you purchased? But really, you're giving them $1,800 worth of gift cards.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Yeah, this is African Prince 2.0. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they used to do wire transfers. They'd just be like, wire us back $1,000 and you keep $350 or some shit like that. But people caught on to that because it's like, why am I going to West Union to get you money you just gave me? So now they do the gift card thing where it's like, take a picture. Do you know where they're based?
Starting point is 00:08:22 So, God, child. So they said the address on the check was in Chicago, but then the info online was in Toledo, Ohio. Much more likely. But then they were operating out of Florida. So I was like, it's a long trail. Right. I'm going to do a podcast about this.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I'm going to find these people and interview them. Those got increasingly likely as the actual location. Right. Chicago. Toledo. Yeah, man. Florida. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:08:50 There we go. Boom. There it is. Another Florida man for you. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm tired of news anchors doing popular dance challenges. I'm sick of this shit.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Who'd you see doing what? It was some local news station and they were just doing the In My Feelings Challenge. I know you guys, have you guys seen that? Those, basically people like
Starting point is 00:09:13 hop out of their cars and like ghost ride their whips and they sing like the Drake song, Kiki, do you love me? Oh, yes, yes, yes. Are you riding?
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. So now like all the corny newscasters on everybody local, KDFK, Today, gotta do news, like dance challenges. I'm'm like y'all sit y'all asses down and give me this damn news so wait somebody goes right in the whip no no so they don't go they just do it in studio and they feel so proud of themselves it's like they have one intern who just stays on twitter
Starting point is 00:09:40 and is like hey craig jackie do i have something for you? They're like, this dance is called the shoot dance and it's from Fortnite. Literally. Or the Black Boy. Whatever. Can we have anything? I remember for Shizzle. We had for Shizzle for one weekend before it was ruined. I'm still mad about that.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Just like when Donald Trump Jr. killed Lit two weeks ago. Yo, that hurt my feelings. That really hurt my feelings. But, I mean, Lit has been fucked up for a while, but that was one of those moments you go, oh, wow. We really have to put that word. Wait, what did Donald Trump Jr. say? Because when Kennedy announced his retirement, he was like, man, this is the
Starting point is 00:10:11 most lit week ever. And I was like, you weirdo. All the black people called each other. We were like, all right, guys, we gotta sit down. We gotta come up with a plan. Lit is canceled. Lit is canceled. And we loved lit. Oh, loved it. I don't know. We might keep it because we kept cool.
Starting point is 00:10:26 People still say cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It'll have to weather the storm. Yeah. Eventually. We'll bring it back.
Starting point is 00:10:32 But you know you're going to see some lit gear like some elderly person is going to wear. Oh, God. Isn't that so ironic? Well, it's funny because my mom, she likes to buy shit that's on sale. She has a shirt that says eyebrows on fleek. Ah! Yes. I like it, mom. I was like, yo, I was like, she likes to buy shit that's on sale. She has a shirt that says, eyebrows on fleek. I like it, mom. I was like, yo, I was like, what the fuck are you doing? And she was like, well, the shirt was on sale.
Starting point is 00:10:51 And she's like, what does on fleek mean? And I'm like, see, that's not fleek. That's fine, though, because if I'm with you and somebody tries to pull up, I will have the energy for them to defend you, mother. But at the same time, seeing your older mom be like, okay, why are you buying this for AST? Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:09 It's about the savings. Hopefully they don't all take on lit. I don't want them to be at the next alt rally with the tiki torches like, it's lit. Lit, lit, lit. It's lit. It's lit. It's the zeitgeist equivalent of getting the losing team from the Super Bowls gear because it's just the most worthless thing in the world.
Starting point is 00:11:27 So it's just like, we're honestly giving these away. She loves the deals. We would have to pay somebody, so please just come take these off our hands. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated. This was actually so much easier for me. You are a positive person.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Domino's pizza. Wow. That is a hot take in here. Not the first time that we've gotten this. I don't know if you listen to this show. We hate Domino's. And by hate,
Starting point is 00:11:53 I mean no, we love it. Let me tell y'all though, they have stepped their ad game up. First of all, Domino's is bae. Domino's texts me. They text me. They text you back?
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yes, they text me They be like, what's up boo? You want some pizza? Like, how your day doing? Like, I'm not even kidding They send like personal looking texts To my device And they don't leave you on read? Nope, oh, yep
Starting point is 00:12:17 I just got one right here We've missed you, come back to us Pizza emoji, exclamation point I'm not playing And a heart And they put a heart You know how long it took me To get my mans to put a heart in something? Domino's already giving me more love than my mans ever did.
Starting point is 00:12:31 That is crazy. Yes. So that's if you order through the app, basically? Yes, if you order through the app. And then they just like, long time no see, boo. Ooh, how was your holiday? Ooh, happy birthday. Like, they be knowing shit about me.
Starting point is 00:12:42 And I fall into this trap. I ordered Domino's twice this weekend. I kid you not. And then my roommate ordered it again. We had Domino's three motherfucking times this weekend. I'm not playing. Just based off that little bit of attention. Yes, I got to block Domino's because they getting too clingy.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Pretty soon, they're going to be like, hey, I'm going to send you a check for $1,800. Listen, and I'll be like, listen, I'm a Domino's secret shopper. They told me I just got a wire room bag, $350 for the pizza. Listen, they'll get me because that marketing is so effective. They stay on my mind. And then they text you when your food. Okay, so they text you the whole time your food is cooking, right? They're like, my man's Tony just put it in the oven.
Starting point is 00:13:14 My man's Tony just took it out. He's slicing it up for you, girl. It's lit. And then after you get the pizza, they be like, 20 minutes later, they're like, mmm, enjoying that pizza. Nom, nom, nom. Oh, shit. Yes, they sent you another text. They're like, ooh, nom. Oh, shit. Yes, they sent you another tag.
Starting point is 00:13:25 They're like, ooh, I know you loving it. And I know you're not leaving that crust behind because we seasoned it. They did. Oh, so yes, very underrated, guys. Get back on Domino's. They really did change their whole business, marketing, everything. I mean, the interiors of the stores are different. Oh, you can get you some gluten-free.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I think they might be fucking around with some vegan pizza. They're not playing. They know. They know. What's your order? I get a thin crust jalapeno pepperoni pineapple. No. Pepperoni
Starting point is 00:13:53 pineapple. The pineapple was a real twist there at the end. It's a citrus that adds. It just takes away from the savory a little bit. You're out here. Don't give me talk about Domino's getting me hot. That's boo.
Starting point is 00:14:06 But more than the pizza, it's like you like how their whole just sort of brand is like the front-facing nature of it of like, hey, how you doing? I'm a part of the
Starting point is 00:14:15 Domino's family now. Okay. Dom fam? Dom fam for life. I don't let no other pizzas touch my lips. Wow. What's a myth?
Starting point is 00:14:24 What's something people think is true that you know to be false based on personal experience? So, okay. Don't put that personal experience in there, Jack. You're reading it. Jack. I read your myth and just wanted to. So, my myth. Based off personal experience is Lacey Go.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Drinking your urine is not. Oh, interesting. Don't do that. Drinking your urine, although I'm sure my shit tastes good. It probably tastes like 1942 Don Julio. Probably, yeah. Drinking your urine. That wouldn't be good.
Starting point is 00:14:55 That means your liver is failing. It's just coming straight out of your body as tequila. It's just like, nope, bypass, bypass. I got a roadblock on my shit now. No, no, no now no no no no no straight out straight from esophagus to urine um no so people think and i thought this too that drinking your urine if you're ever like stranded or super dehydrated somewhere where you can't get water is good because it is sterile now urine is sterile but it's full of toxins it's
Starting point is 00:15:24 so bad for you. There's like ammonia in it. It like immediately dehydrates you. You should not guys if you get stranded on an island don't drink your pee. Can you drink somebody else's pee? No. Miles now you know you wasn't stranded when you was drinking that pee.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Now listen. Hey look I consider my Uber driver being late an excuse to pretend I'm stranded. So, yes, I was stranded, and I drank someone else's pee. Wait, but if it's not, what's the definition between sterile and also having toxins in it? There's no pathogens? The sterile thing seems very vague to me. I think it's just like it's not dirty.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Like, it won't. Right, you won't get sick. Well, you could pee on a wound with it. Like, you know, when people have jellyfish stings, they pee on it. But that's a myth, too. Is it? Yeah, it is a myth. Well, it's because I think it's like the ureic acid is what technically would, like, relieve the barbs or whatever that come off the jellyfish tentacles that give you the pain.
Starting point is 00:16:18 But your pee is just not concentrated enough. What freaky-ass person started telling us this shit? Someone told all of us this. They were just talking about it on Bodega Boys last week, I feel like. I think a lot of it comes from people, like scientists need grant money. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:33 So they just basically write their grants as if they're writing like an article to like clickbait, basically. Scientists were the first writers of clickbait. They were like, yeah, we could like point out that urine has uric acid in it and that way people will be interested. Like drink wine every day
Starting point is 00:16:50 and you'll live forever. Bruh, and they'd get me with those. I know. Any study about drinking alcohol, I'd be like, you don't say. You don't say. How about that?
Starting point is 00:17:01 So this whole time I was oxidizing my whore. Oh, okay. Yeah, urine, bad. Bad, okay. Yeah, urine bad. Bad for you. Yeah, urine guy's bad. The whole point. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Y'all can talk what you want. Send Miles your pee, guys. He's still drinking it. We're not talking about getting it involved in like sexual play, Miles. We're just talking about actually consuming it.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Well, you can talk all you want. I'm talking about actually consuming it so don't well you can talk all you want i'm talking about thirst quenching uh-huh okay okay uh all right well speaking of things you shouldn't do while stranded somewhere uh we wanted to check in with the thai cave uh rescue effort the 12 boys and one coach uh who are stranded in a cave. Nice shade for that coach. So much shade. I just feel like the whole world has given up on the coach. Like nobody.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Oh, yeah. Like when they're giving the count of like people alive left in the cave, they're like four more boys to go. They don't mention the coach like in the headline. They're like, and the coach isn't there, I guess. Whatever. Did the boys give him the tea? They probably know if the coach isn't there.
Starting point is 00:18:10 No, no. He's alive. Oh, he's alive. But I think people just assume he was in charge, and he got them stranded a mile and a half deep in a cave. So people are just like, if he has to die, if he has to use his body as a flotation device. Or a buffet. Right. Do if he has to die. Like if you have to use his body as a flotation device. Or a buffet. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Do what you have to do, boys. But yeah, so eight of them are out, which is, there were all these articles over the weekend that Super Producer Ana Hosnier forwarded on an article from the New York Times that gave some visuals of how narrow the cave is. One point in the cave is the width of a basketball hoop. What's the official diameter of a basketball hoop? I don't know. Because I know this hole is 15 inches. Yeah, it's thereabouts. It seems like it looks like it.
Starting point is 00:18:56 The basketball hoop diameter is 18 inches, so it's smaller than a basketball hoop. Yeah, it's like one of those fair basketball hoops where you shoot on it. It looks like it's the right size but it's actually too small. Coming off the heel every time. Right. Yeah, so it's really,
Starting point is 00:19:10 I don't know, it's terrifying but just as we're getting these terrifying details, they're starting to pull these kids out and apparently the coach has a sense,
Starting point is 00:19:21 even that deep in the cave, he has a sense of the zeitgeist because he's not taking any of the resources when they bring him in. He's just like being as selfless as possible because he probably knows already this is a bad look. Oh, so probably.
Starting point is 00:19:34 He got these 12 kids stranded inside a cave. Not only will I leave your kids to victory. Right. Exactly. I'll leave them to danger. To a fucking cave where it would be an international incident. Pretty crazy story, though. This poor, poor coach, in a way, you know, because he will literally never coach a team again.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Oh, nah, nah, nah, nah. We can't take no advice from him. No. He was like, quick, guys, to the cave. And then also knowing that, like, wait, he's an assistant. Right. He's not the head coach. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:01 They interviewed the head coach recently. I didn't get all of the details of it, but I'm sure he was like, this motherfucker. Translated from Thai was just SMH. He was like, I don't know what the fuck they're doing in there. Direct quote. Direct quote in Thai. Could you imagine if they did give him his job back? Anytime he'd be trying to tell me a play, I'd be like, but bro, you got us stuck in that cave, though.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Every time he's talking, the whole team just side-armed him. Troy, what's up, caveman team just side-arm him. Like, what the fuck is this dude talking about? Troy, what's up, cave man? So we gonna run the ball? Cave man. Just call him cave man. Somebody tell Nick Cave to get the fuck out of here. Hey, what's his advice?
Starting point is 00:20:37 But yeah, really, in the beginning, I understand why so many people before were just like, just set up a fucking line, get them to walk out, and blah, blah, blah. So there were so many takes on twitter i was reading of people who were divers and things like that who were just like i don't get it it's so easy blah blah and then you look at these fucking diagrams and you're like oh it's so deep yeah it's so deep they're like underwater the most rigorous one is like a u-shaped dip that they have to like swim down and then up out of that has like that hole and yeah when you're dealing with like really small kids who literally can't swim.
Starting point is 00:21:09 And are afraid. Yeah. And tired. So they're having to drag them because yeah, these kids, most of them can't swim. And one person is in charge of like holding the oxygen tank behind the kid while the kid is like breathing into it. And then the other person's like guiding them out. Just pulling them along.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Yeah. And they do have a rope, but it's just such a treacherous path. People die in cave diving things who are expert cave divers. We saw one of the Thai Navy SEALs die just bringing them oxygen. So it's super treacherous. It's not as easy as I thought it was, certainly. Like we said on Friday's episode, it is six hours going against the grain
Starting point is 00:21:48 going against the current and five hours going with the current to get so it's an 11 hour round trip. Oh my god. Also, producer Ana Hosnia is pointing out that the kids who don't know how to swim, they have to hold their bodies. So it's basically a three person job. Right. And trying to
Starting point is 00:22:04 get through a basketball hoop smaller than a basketball hoop size uh well at that part they're gonna be like look bro i'm gonna go ahead of you don't get panicked i will be on the other side of this 15 inch hole right to pull you through so please i feel like that's the thing they really have to worry about is just keeping those kids as calm as possible which is why they have to put those different masks on too because, because like a regular scuba set up with like a regulator could easily come out and then be a huge issue. And like, I mean, how many people do you know who are claustrophobic? Like, I know probably everybody just in the last week talking about people who don't sit in the window seat.
Starting point is 00:22:37 I know plenty of people who are like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, you know, I have five people in my nuclear family. Like one of them is super claustrophobic. It's just like, you know, like how many of these kids are claustrophobic and are just going to be like freaking out? Yeah, and dark underwater hole would probably make anybody claustrophobic too. Like, I can't even sit in a car for 11 hours. Like, I'm not trying to swim through a cave for 11 hours. Can you sit on a plane for 11 hours?
Starting point is 00:23:02 Bruh, yeah, I can do that. But a car. That's because I only fly first class. And when I said car, I even meant Mercedes. Don't just assume any car. I was in a Maybach. Y'all didn't hear about my United incident? No, I'm playing.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I fly for free. I fly for free everywhere. For free. Yeah, one of the other details, a thing they've been trying to do is run an Ethernet cable. Something, yeah, to get a phone line, basically. So that they can talk to their parents for the first time or something. Because right now, they're just sending out notes like, Mom and Dad, please take me to pork barbecue. Man, that's how you know these kids are hungry, because they're like, please take me to food when I get out.
Starting point is 00:23:41 It's not like, yo, I promise to be good or whatever. It's not like I realize what life means now. It's like, we're going to hit up that McDonald's on the way home. Now, wait, you said they were running a cable to try the Ethernet cable. Scuba driving that shit. Are you kidding me? I can't get Comcast to come to my house between the hours of
Starting point is 00:23:57 9 and 3. And they swimming cables five hours down to get some cable. Scuba men. Shit, I need some Tide cable. What they got over there? I can't even get the man to pull up. And then he come, he be like, I don't got my tools. I'm sorry. He's like, this work order is wrong for what you need, actually.
Starting point is 00:24:13 You don't have to send somebody else tomorrow. Bro, we need to outsource cable because they doing it right in Thailand, clearly. That is exactly what happens to me every single time a cable person comes. They're like, oh, sorry, you got the wrong box. Yeah, the work order. I'm sorry. They messed up on this work order. I'm like, you're driving a big-ass truck.
Starting point is 00:24:30 You're telling me you ain't got no other shit in there. What the fuck is in that big-ass van? What's in there? A lot of Cat 4, Cat 5. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But apparently because they are conducting this rescue plan according to the rules of Hollywood movies they have rescued the eight strongest kids thus far and they're like saving the weakest kids for last so I thought they
Starting point is 00:24:54 would go the other direction but apparently so the kids who are like in the most danger are still left to go so the tension ratchets up who goes in there and chooses? I'm sure the doctors. Because that's sort of a triaging kind of strategy. But I think what they were doing is taking the strongest kids first because they're like, if shit goes south with them, it'll be easier to figure out. It's better to take the strongest kids first so they can foresee any obstacles down the road.
Starting point is 00:25:21 It's better to do your first runs with kids who aren't totally weak. But when they go in there, though, I feel like you could tell me that, and I could be a little Tiny Tim in there with, like, a little stick walking around. Right? I'm still trying to go first. That's where it's a little fucked up. Or even, like, you start talking shit about your other homies that went through. Like, I don't know why the fuck you went through.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Man, Jermaine not even that good of a basketball player. When are you going to take him before they take me? Fuck, if I die here, that would actually be a tragedy to the sport. But I like the fact that they, even though that was their strategy, that they take the strongest ones out, they were still just like, nah, the coach, you stay in here, man. Yeah. You know that coach better be like, nah, nah, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Make sure the kids eat first. If we have enough air left. Right. If we have enough air left. Maybe. Then I'll go. I can't wait for them to bring the next four kids out, and then they're just like, we've got to go back.
Starting point is 00:26:11 We've got to go back. That's motherfucking. Punk ass coats. Oh, I guess we're ready for you now, sir. Every time they get a kid out, everybody's clapping. The coats come out. They're just like, mm. Oh, hey, look who decided to join us.
Starting point is 00:26:22 A lot of teeth sucking. Like, oh. Hey, shit. That who decided to join us. A lot of teeth sucking. Oh, hey, shit. That would have been fucking amazing. I would have had so much respect for this guy if he had insisted on being the first out. He was just like, give me out, give me out. Wait until the full T-report comes out on this thing when the kids go, first of all, Coach was like,
Starting point is 00:26:41 oh, let me show y'all this cool shortcut in the cave. And we're like, we should probably get out. And he was like, no, no, it's cool. I smoke cigarettes in here. You've got to go off the path, though. It's really dope. We watch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And then cut to when the rescuer came out of the coach. He was like, yo, get me out first. He quietly says it to him over the side. He's like, hey, these kids are going to fucking kill me. Get me out of here. Hey, they can't swim anyway. I can swim. I got half a Reesehesus in my pocket.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Great. Tell me shit. The rescuers are like, that doesn't work on me. He's trying to bribe the rescuers with candy. Hey, you hungry, man? They're like, no, I'm not straight into the cave. How do you still have candy after 10 days? I had a bunch.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Wait, coach, you got candy this whole time? No, no, no. He's lying. He's lying. I never had the candy. All right. We're going candy this whole time? No, no, no. He's lying. He's lying. I never had the candy. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:27:35 This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

I'm Carrie 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.
Starting point is 00:28:49 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 in here. 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
Starting point is 00:29:01 we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. 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?
Starting point is 00:29:20 This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to the making of a rivalryivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay.

It became a theme in my life, the underdog syndrome of being questioned, of the, would they say this to a man?
Starting point is 00:30:04 No, they would not. Like, why? That was one of those moments where you're just like, oh, wow, it was a bit shocking, but it didn't take any steam away or anything like that. If anything, it was more of the, okay, I'll show you, no worries. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine
Starting point is 00:30:19 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.
Starting point is 00:30:41 One session, 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?
Starting point is 00:30:56 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.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And it's time to once again check in with the Civility Wars. Civility Wars. That's actually probably the better.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Oh, that's great. Oh, Civility Wars. Civility. Pardon me, racist. That's actually probably the better answer Civility So the way this works Is that anytime Anybody confronts A right wing person we hear about it In the national media And so we have heard over the weekend
Starting point is 00:31:59 Mitch McConnell was yelled at By protesters as he left a restaurant Yes he left a restaurant This poor man was just trying to eat sustenance. I know. And because of, I don't know what it is. I mean, these protesters just realized that separating young children from their parents is just how we get down in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:32:17 So you can get on board or get out. Right. Because that's what they were yelling at. They were yelling. Things like, now I want to just say, if you play this podcast in front of your children, please put them in another room because I'm about to say some really fucked up shit. Okay. Starting with that.
Starting point is 00:32:32 The warning already had curses in it. Oh, my bad. Boy, well, brace yourselves for this one. They said, where are the babies, Mitch? Or abolish ICE. And one man had the audacity, the caucasity, to call him Turtle Head. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Mean. Mean. Think about Mitch's digestion, you guys. He just ate. He's trying to, you know. And calling him a Turtle Head,
Starting point is 00:32:55 that's really messed up. And I think that's some kind of racial slur for people who look like turtles. Was he actually picking up $80 sushi? No, no, this is another one. Okay, so up next is our boy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Goebbels, Stephen Miller. So this story is great.
Starting point is 00:33:10 So apparently, I would rather act this out the way the Washington Post describes it. So he was apparently telling other people at the White House this was his tea. He goes, so basically, I go to the sushi restaurant by my house, and I get $80 worth of takeout. I go to the sushi restaurant by my house, and I get $80 worth of takeout. And as I'm leaving, one of the bartenders comes out, flips me off, and starts cursing at me. I mean, I was so upset, I didn't even want to eat my sushi, and I threw it away. Again, digestion, guys. Think about their stomachs. This is not easy on their stomachs.
Starting point is 00:33:39 His sob story is he picked up $80 fucking dollars worth of sushi for himself. And because someone probably, presumably, called him a fascist or some other thing about truism about him, like he's a white supremacist, that he basically ruined his meal. So, I mean, that's pretty fucked up. Also, if you're getting $80 sushi takeout, you're living a whole different lifestyle. Yes, please show yourself into the bubble. Just for him by himself, too, because, I mean, you know, he doesn't. Well, that's a baller move. He doesn't live with people.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I've always said you got money when you can get high and then go to sushi. Oh, yeah. That's a flex. If you can do sushi takeout from a restaurant, not from the grocery store. But being in that motherfucker high where you could just keep going. Do you want anything else? He'd be like, yes, I do. I would like to add 72 more dollars to this bill uh yeah he
Starting point is 00:34:29 threw it away though that's what kicks me well it just shows you how you know get my smelling salts my because look oh my god he he yelled it he gave me the finger and i i i was so offended. With both hands. It's ruined my meal. It ruined my meal. And then cut to now. Oh, fascist Barbie, bigot Barbie in chief, Tommy Lahren. She went on Judge Jeanine's show to blame Maxine Waters because Maxine Waters has apparently just made it hell for her racist existence to be, I guess, pleasant anymore. Because I think she lives in la which is also homegirl what are you thinking you think you're not gonna get that smoke out here so this is judge janine and tommy larin showing you just how i don't know how disconnected from reality this whole world is i mean peep this judge i gotta tell you since maxine waters came out and she
Starting point is 00:35:22 encouraged her followers and her supporters to I guess continue the attacks on the right, it's gotten worse. I've seen it in my personal life get worse in the last couple of weeks and she's actually making it very dangerous especially for young women like myself. I find it funny because many of the people that have been attacked, harassed, assaulted have been conservative women. So where's the left on this? Where are the feminists that are about female empowerment? Time's up. Me too. Where are their voices in this? Because I don't see them coming out to defend conservative women as they should when we are literally being attacked for our beliefs. Where are the feminists? They're not going to be there, Tommy. I'll tell
Starting point is 00:35:59 you right now. Yeah. Earlier in the segment, Judge Jeanine goes, show me one instance where a person on the right has attacked a person on the left. Now, Judge Jeanine, I mean, I'll show you a video of fucking neo-Nazi running people down in their fucking car. In a vehicle. That could be one thing. Or, you know, when people on the right refer to NFL players as sons of bitches because they are peacefully protesting police violence. Or here, how about something more, you know, recent? For example, a 92-year-old Mexican man was beat with a brick by a woman after he, like, he was walking on the sidewalk crossing them and accidentally, like, ran in, like, the toddler ran into him. Right. The toddler ran into him. And then she said, why don't you go back to your country? Started beating him with a brick that I don't know if she just packs a brick on her or she picked one loose off the ground.
Starting point is 00:36:49 And then four other men joined in to stomp this 92-year-old Mexican man out. That's what an attack is. Someone coming up to your face and saying, yo, you're racist. You should be ashamed of yourself. Shame, shame, shame. That's not being attacked. You may be subject to someone's anger in a verbal way, but this is not approaching the kind of vitriolic,
Starting point is 00:37:08 just outrageous kind of shit that you're seeing on the right. Case in point, the deputy district attorney of San Bernardino County, which should already clue you up to many things, this guy Michael Selium, he said, among all kinds of other crazy shit on Facebook, he said about Maxine Waters, quote, being a loudmouth cunt in the ghetto, you would think someone would have shot this bitch by now. Cue Samantha Bee's eye roll of the fucking century.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Because if they really want to go there, let's see everybody get up in arms about this man who is also like, what is this? Someone should you think someone would have shot this bitch so now you're I mean you're like calling out a hit on Auntie Maxine I don't know what's going on and also you're calling her a cunt first of all culturally
Starting point is 00:37:50 I just want y'all to know that black people don't take as much offense to cunt as white people do and when I found that out I started using that as my secret n-word I've been calling people cunts
Starting point is 00:38:00 all the time because I didn't realize that it actually got a reaction out of people it's like how black people don't say cock yeah people don't say cock. Yeah, we don't say cock. Who are you?
Starting point is 00:38:07 Cock. Oh, God. It's so bad. It's so bad in my mouth. Oh, it's so bad. It feels so bad. It feels so bad. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Hey. I'm leaving that one alone. But it's crazy to me that she's calling off feminism because it's like, bitch, now don't act like y'all are feminists. Y'all hoes trying to have us all be handmaids, okay? I watch that show like a look into the future. I'm like, this is... Well, and also, feminism is inherently about equality. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:33 So if you're out here screaming all this xenophobic shit, you're already demonstrating you have no interest in equality. Yeah, you're not into feminism. So there's this idea that I think for them just means women have to stick with women no matter how problematic their viewpoints are. If someone is saying something, you know, like, let's be real. It's not like all these people aren't on wax saying all kinds of inflammatory shit. And now suddenly they're like, I don't see what happened. What did I do?
Starting point is 00:39:00 And if you put hate out and you get hate back, like, that's exactly what the universe does. You give what you give. So that's what they're putting into the universe. And I think that Tommy Lauren is also trying to brag here. Like, Auntie Maxine don't care about you, girl. She don't know you, girl. Like Mariah Carey says, I don't know her. I don't know her.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I don't know her. What conservative women have been assaulted? She specifically said they've been assaulted. She said assaulted? Yeah. Did she mean verbally? Conservative women have been assaulted. She said assaulted? Yeah. Did she mean verbally? Conservative women have been assaulted. Is getting your cheese plate
Starting point is 00:39:28 paid for and being asked to politely leave apparently that is it. It's really interesting how when Barack Obama was in power all these people wanted to talk all this crazy shit and their whole existence was based off of trolling the libs or whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:44 But that's not a real rhetorical strategy. That's just a game you engage in for your own ego. And now that they're in power, this shit looks really weird. And they're even kind of like, oh yeah. It's hard to have all these hot takes, especially now because I can't argue
Starting point is 00:39:59 the right is in power, the GOP is in power, so I can't really kind of go off the same way I did, but then at the same time I want to, but then if someone calls me out, then suddenly I'm the kind of snowflake that I used to call liberal at all. They're very sensitive, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:18 It's all become very, I think they're sort of realizing the limits of this rhetorical strategy in a way. They like when the liberals get outraged over something Trump does, like that gives them energy. But anytime liberals push back a little bit on conservatives, they get scared. They do not like the conflict.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Well, because I think they realize too, they are typically, I believe that they are in a minority in terms of thinking that this kind of outright, out in the open racism is like what everybody in this country is down for, because they're not. There are people who, because most, you're seeing it right there. That's why people are wanting to explain to you, this is not right. Now, we should say, there are two stories of actual assaults
Starting point is 00:40:58 that are being covered heavily by the right-wing media, like Drudge, his top story right now is a white man beaten with skateboard in alleged san fran hate crime i'm sorry uh and uh we don't have all the details but the story is being treated like a national scandal uh allegedly a latino teenager who they don't have a like actual positive id on so they're just just going off description that he's Latino, said something racist to a white guy and then hit him with the skateboard. That's all the very scant details.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Has this person even been arrested? Nope. This is just a guy saying, a Latino said something racist to me, hit me with a skateboard. Did we see the, was there any evidence of the Latino? Nope.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Any photos? Not yet. Because that's crazy, because I have all kinds of video of white people calling the police on people of color for no reason. Damn, we're looking at the skateboard right now. Is it broken in half? That's not the actual thing.
Starting point is 00:41:53 That's just a picture of a broken deck. Oh, I thought that was the actual skateboard. I was like, well, damn, he went to town on him. They just put a broken skateboard. See, look at this. That looks like a post-failed move frustration board break. That looks like a post-failed move frustration board break. The other assault that we do have visual evidence on, there's the guy in San Antonio who threw a drink in the face of a teen who was wearing a MAGA hat and then took the hat off his head and tore a couple of the guy's hairs out when he took the hat off his head.
Starting point is 00:42:32 So that's how it becomes a an assault that that was, you know, top of drudge news last week. But I just again, so if we're using, you know, just a person from one political ideology, you know, fucking with a person from another political ideology here. Like if that is the standard, there is literally two examples of conservatives murdering people last year. There was a dude on a train in Portland last year who was physically assaulting women who had like head scarfs on and people tried to defend them and he stabbed those two
Starting point is 00:43:07 people to death and like but nobody was like well this is like a political war because that person wasn't an official representative of the republican party right so like it's just crazy that they are trying to create this narrative that there is like a small civil war happening in the streets. A lot of people, too, they do this thing where they're like, well, just because you support Trump doesn't mean you're racist. Now, let me tell you why I have a problem with that. Donald Trump has made it very clear where he stands on a number of issues. And it's quite clear to me that he is racist. Now, again, the defense to that will be name one thing that he's done that's racist. It's usually this is the this is the rhetoric that's
Starting point is 00:43:53 being used. I don't need to show you because you can look at all of his policies and who the winners and losers are. The losers are typically women and people of color. And now I'm not saying that I think you can be a Republican and not be a racist, as there are some principled conservatives that I still know who are like, this is not what I need to represent being a conservative American. But when you have a president who is so outrightly racist and you are so vocal in your support of this racist person, I can assume that you are a supporter of racism. That's when, you know, I just feel like a lot of these people who like wear the MAGA hat and stuff, a lot of these people know that the MAGA hat basically triggers people.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Yeah. You know, and just like those two young white women who went to Howard University who were all MAGA'd out and walking through their... Like, you know what you wanted yeah you're on an all-black you want to go onto an all-black campus wearing all this stuff because it's their symbols they're they they communicate to other people this hate this ideology of hate or at the very least discrimination yeah and if you want to go diet with it but let's call it what it is and people hate i think a lot of times when people compare um donald trump to like hitler and like that kind of like nazi you know right stuff but it's like this stuff didn't start off you know like at the holocaust it was way more chill before that you know what i mean before they started to declare war on a certain race of people
Starting point is 00:45:19 and eventually be able to intern them and then kill them. Right. Like, if we are reading history and we don't want it to repeat itself. And also, I'm sure there were some nice Nazis. It was probably a Johann who was, like, filing all the paperwork and he was the coolest guy at the camp. But guess what? He was a damn Nazi and not a good person. So if you're going to stand by and ignore people's rights and empower people who are trying to hurt others,
Starting point is 00:45:44 you're just as bad as that person, even if you're not the one actually doing the harm. Guys, take Hitler seriously, but not literally. He doesn't literally mean he's going to do these bad things. Right, exactly. Next thing we know. Just please, just ask yourself if you are a person who is defending equality or you actually like the idea of people not having access to the same opportunity and put yourself in that space my whole position on everything is it's all about giving everybody equal shot no matter what even if you're it's your political ideology at the end of the day i still even want people who support trump to win because i think at the end of the day you're
Starting point is 00:46:19 human beings yeah but i think you have to realize there's a way for everybody to win right and my only last thought on that is because i'm from texas and i have a lot of family members who've actually expressed that sentiment of like we're not bad people we just support trump and blah blah blah it's like look people make mistakes okay we all do stupid shit and i don't think anybody's a bad person for voting for trump but i think that by now you should know better and if you vote for him again then you should know what he stands for and i've even had to look at my own life with people that i have in my life who ride for this dude. And in the beginning, I thought it was a joke.
Starting point is 00:46:48 And now I'm like, shit, you might have this really fucked up worldview. And it's easy for you to just sort of use this cover of saying, well, I support Trump. I'm not a racist to sort of not not just be a full throated bigot. But proving that people can always be redeemed. Michael Cohen is talking to Donald Trump in the media. Sick pivot in the key there. Thank you, sir. Telling Trump, quote, the truth
Starting point is 00:47:11 is not your friend, he said to Giuliani off the record through a spokesperson. But that's just interesting. We're just a quick check-in with that whole world because we haven't heard much from the investigation. Well, Paul Manafort, he's going on trial soon. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I guess that's another just quick update, quick check-in. Meanwhile, in prison, Paul Manafort is in solitary. He has not been able to get into the gen pop in prison because- I don't think he should be in gen pop. Yeah. I want him to be in gen pop. Wait, is that because of his safety or is that because... It's his safety. That's what they've said is
Starting point is 00:47:47 his safety. They just don't think that they can you know, in good conscience put him in with other prisoners because he would get fucked up real quick. I like how there's some woke prisoners in there. They're like, hey man, that's fucking treason, man. Your policies. Let me get my shank.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Yeah, you trying to whitewash these dictators I wonder if it's that or if they're just like man this guy is such a fucking asshole he's gonna get the shit beat out of him oh right
Starting point is 00:48:10 where he's like actually I don't like my cellies right officer this celly he's gross and he smells
Starting point is 00:48:17 I'd like a new one right and it's funny because they say solitary and that immediately in my prison brain of like TV shit takes me to like
Starting point is 00:48:24 a little hole in the wall and he's eating bread and water but that's not it he's like in the vip section of the prison right i mean who knows i mean either way solitary confinement is not a good no it's not and you know what and i was saying like you know i think he can he'll maybe come out and be an advocate to to do away with solitary confinement because clearly we you know when it happens to like on rikers Island, everyone's like, hmm, whatever. Right. In some international news, there is uncertainty now
Starting point is 00:48:51 at the top of the British government. Theresa May had two people sort of quit over the weekend. Yeah. And Boris Johnson is one of them, and people think that he might be quitting in order to sort of stage a insurrection or, you know, be the person who takes over after she is basically called out. There's a possibility that there will be a vote of no confidence and they'll have to have an election. And people think like basically and this is like their Trump. Right. Boris Johnson. think like basically and this is like their trump right boris johnson i mean yeah he was one of the loudest uh i mean nigel farage too was a huge brexit dude but yeah him going out was more of like showing the other pro brexiter uh mps who are just sort of like here here like you know because her they felt that her strategy wasn't going far enough for brexit so right she's trying
Starting point is 00:49:42 to like keep things moderate and not like all the way you know go all the way full-blown right wing and uh that's the people who are on on the brexit side of things are not are not thrilled with that so yeah but it certainly needs what i think 15 percent of her party to write a letter of no confidence to trigger this whole power shift. Right. I think from there, there's a vote where they're able to cast a vote for or against her. And then if she loses that one, then there'll be a leadership contest. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:17 So there's a few. We'll see. We'll see what happens. Because, yeah, she took an L back in, I think it was April, when she tried to do a snap election to get more power. And that did not go well. Yeah. Jeremy Corbyn kind of cleaned up. All right. We're going to take another quick break.
Starting point is 00:50:32 We'll be right back. 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.

Starting point is 00:51:49 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? 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.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. 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
Starting point is 00:52:21 supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

Starting point is 00:53:00 It became a theme in my life, the underdog syndrome of being questioned, of the, would they say this to a man? No, they would not. Like, why? That was one of those moments where you're just like, oh, wow. It was a bit shocking, but it didn't take any steam away or anything like that. If anything, it was more of the, okay, I'll show you. No worries. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:53:31 I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110, 120.
Starting point is 00:53:51 She's terrified. 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?
Starting point is 00:54:07 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.

Starting point is 00:54:35 And we're back. And it's time to, once again, as we do every week around this time, check in with Lindsay Lohan. Hello! Lacey, as our Lindsay Lohan correspondent, what can you tell us about what she's up to right now? Well, your girl Lindsay, she's thriving. Oh, good. Not in the States.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Right, right. But in Greece, actually. She's like fucking Edward Snowden. She hasn't come back in years, I feel like. She has this little day club there, and she's now shopping around a reality TV show. But they're saying that she's kind of still undecided on if she wants to do it.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Has Lindsay Lohan's career reached reality TV level? I mean, it's been there for a minute, no? Really? I'm surprised she didn't realize. What do you mean? What was the last time she... I mean, I grew up with Lizzy. You know, she had that one song,
Starting point is 00:55:26 I'm sick of rumors starting. I'm sick of being followed. Yo, this kid in my high school used to play in her band, played bass. Stop, really? No, but I don't know if she... She's still a great movie actor.
Starting point is 00:55:36 She's one of those, like, she's like a... When was the last time she had a good movie role? I don't say that rhetorically to try and get you to prove the point that she isn't, but I don't really know
Starting point is 00:55:44 much of her outside of- But I feel like she's like a Courtney Love or like one of those where you just want her to win real bad. You know what I mean? Right. I feel like somebody would still give her movie roles. I don't know if she has to start doing reality TV just yet. When Courtney Love is the best case scenario, when people are like, yeah, I mean, maybe she could pull off a Courtney Love. I just mean like she could come back like what?
Starting point is 00:56:06 Mickey Rourke came back, didn't he? Okay, okay. Yeah. Robert Downey came back. I just don't get her because what happened when she got that weird accent? Remember for a while she was doing that like... Listen, she was rich. When you get rich, you become British. One day I will come on this show and I will literally be
Starting point is 00:56:21 talking like this because my pay bracket will be higher. Like Kirby? You want to talk about Kirby? Absolutely. I'll be Kirby Halpertiste. She just seems lost in the sauce. I don't make enough money to be fake British yet, but when I do... When I do, yeah, you come back? Yes. And y'all got to act like it's normal.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Don't try to question me. Jack, don't look at me like that. So you grew up in Peckham, right? I'm like, oh, wow. I got to get some new British slang now. All I know is like Cheerio. Are they still saying that?
Starting point is 00:56:54 Yeah, you're like, well, I live in Hackney now. Listen. Well, yeah, I don't know. I feel like, I don't know. If she does a reality TV show, I think that's just going to solidify her fate. Well, it's interesting that the show she's considering isn't just like,'s Lindsay Lohan up to follow Lindsay Lohan around it's like it has a premise it's like Vanderpump Rules for her in Greece like she like has a restaurant that she's trying to run um so like moving on from her acting career because I mean I would have just
Starting point is 00:57:20 like if they had reality TV crews following her for the last 20 years, that would have been wonderful television. No, bro. She'd probably be in jail. You can't have no reality show like that. But wait, wasn't there, I thought somebody tried to do a reality show with her like two years ago and it fell apart. Wasn't it like on OWN or something?
Starting point is 00:57:36 I remember a reality show with her mom and her sister, but that was way back in the day. That's right. That's right. Where it was like her mom her sister and her dad you think oprah the a plot for that show was just them trying to figure out ways to siphon money off of her career and to their bank accounts but literally yeah there was no she had a show called lindsey on own i remember this because on own yes they really tried and i think i felt like the thing fell apart because she's just so like on her own shit that they couldn't even get like a proper production schedule.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Right. Yeah. It was like so engineered that it wasn't even reality anymore. I mean, what is reality anymore? Right, guys? Oh, yeah. No, all that stuff is totally fake and set up. I actually was on a reality show that I don't tell people about.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Wow. Well, you just did. It's probably going to come back and haunt me. Okay, then we don't have to tell it now, but challenge the Zeit Gang to find Lacey on that reality show. I do challenge you guys to find out what reality show this is. Okay, okay, I'm going to find it. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Well, that's what we will be doing. You will just be hearing us typing for the next 15 minutes. And this is called the show called, yeah, Finding Lacey. But I mean, Cardi B was on reality TV, and then she like blew up afterwards. Cardi B is different, Cardi B was on reality TV, and then she blew up afterwards. Cardi B is different. Cardi B has been herself from Jump Street, and that's part of her brand, is being unapologetically herself.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Lindsay Lohan, I don't even know if she knows who she is. She's talking with a fucking British accent. Right. Sometimes. That's true. And then other times, it was this other thing that veered into some kind of other ethnicity that, I don't know. Anyway other ethnicity that I don't know. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Yeah, I don't know. So basically her career fell apart because she became impossible to insure, right? Because she was just like out until six. Just a party animal, yeah. And then wasn't she, she was in that crazy relationship with Sam Ronson too. I remember that back in the day. I remember seeing them out back when I used to be younger and out at these clubs.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Care about that stuff. Miles was in these streets. In these streets. All right, guys. It's time to find out what state has the most fast food restaurants per capita. It is, drum roll please, Alabama. No. Really?
Starting point is 00:59:43 Yeah. I thought, wasn't Oklahoma up there at one point? I think it's up there. No. Really? Yeah. I thought, wasn't Oklahoma up there at one point? I think it's up there. Yeah. I think it's like a lot of states down in that direction. Although weirdly, so usually they match up almost exactly with the top states for obesity rates. And there's actually an interesting study that finds that basically your physical proximity to a fast food restaurant or if you like see a fast food restaurant sign on a daily basis, that has a heavy correlation with higher rates of obesity. So like it's just like they're so good at like just tapping into your brain that like it's just almost an inevitability if you're around a fast food restaurant. So like a lot of these restaurants are also at the highest levels for obesity in America.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Weirdly, though, Mississippi has one of the fewest fast food restaurants. And they're number 48 on that. Yeah. And it has one of the highest rates of obesity. So that's kind of surprising. Yeah. I have a lot of family in mississippi that's because they cook yeah you know what i mean and then there's no portion control and they just frying butter in a fat bag and wrapping it in bacon and eating it all day long it is good food but it is it will kill you sticks sticks to your artery and everyone out there like in Mississippi and Alabama especially,
Starting point is 01:01:06 no shade, not everyone. Some of y'all cute, but it's a lot of thickums out there. It's a lot of real thickums. Living in LA has given me a warped sense of beauty standards, so I enjoy going to Alabama or Mississippi. A warped sense of earth. I'm an Alabama 20, guys.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Oh, shit. I'm a real bad bitch down there uh other no I'm kidding I love you if you're in Alabama other states that are kind of on the top of both lists West Virginia is up there um which it's funny like I was looking at this list and I was like you know just based on driving around the east coast a lot I was yeah, West Virginia is a great place to drive through. And New Jersey is at the bottom of the list. And I was like, man, the Jersey Turnpike sucks. There is no fast food.
Starting point is 01:01:52 It's like there's one rest stop with Roy Rogers, and that's it. Oh, gosh. It's real bad. It's interesting, though, too. Alabama has the next state beat by a lot. Nebraska has 5.4 per capita. Alabama, 6.3. 6.3 per 10,000 or 100,000?
Starting point is 01:02:09 It's not per person. No, no, no. That would be too much. Could you imagine? There's more restaurants than people. But on a real note, aren't these restaurants also concentrated in lower income areas? I'm sure. Most of the time, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Yeah. So I don't know. And then, yeah, Vermont with the least, 1.9. Yeah, which if you've ever driven through Vermont. Vermont, yeah. That makes sense. It's all sleepy little villages of only white people. Only the whitest of white people.
Starting point is 01:02:36 All right. It's time for a check-in with the world of sports. It's time for the World Cup Day. Oh, shit. I'm fucking ready for this one. This music. Whoops. Get my glow stick dance. Oh, shit. I'm fucking ready for this one. This music. Whoops. Get my glow stick out.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Oh, man. Whoa. Had to get up to the shoot dance. Okay, so World Cup. Guys, we're here. It's time for the final four for the Americans, as you like to call it, or we call it the semifinal round, which shall be played between England and Croatia on one side and
Starting point is 01:03:05 France versus Belgium on the other. Now, this weekend had many games, really good ones. France beat Uruguay pretty handily. Belgium, you know, took it to Brazil. They just, they showed them, hey, we don't fuck around. And then Croatia beat Russia very narrowly. Now, that game was very interesting because these motherfuckers were falling apart towards the end. Like, Croatia, they were like, ah!
Starting point is 01:03:32 Like, hamstrings were going out, muscle injuries. Meanwhile, the Russians were running like they haven't been playing a bunch of back-to-back extra time games. Like, almost like they have been, I don't know, using some sort of substances. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not going to say that. Look, I've seen Rocky IV. I've also seen Icarus.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I've seen Rocky IV. I think it's how some MAGA dude starts a sentence, too. Right. I've seen Rocky IV. I've seen Rocky IV. Rocky IV actually has a message of love. He's a total champ. If I can change, then you can change.
Starting point is 01:04:02 We all can change. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, we'll take that to heart. But yeah, that Croatia game, I mean, the goalkeeper, Subasic, I mean, I thought his hamstring straight up blew off his leg. Yeah. And he still-
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yeah, he hung in there. And they went crazy in Croatia when they won that shootout. I know, man. And that was a fun thing to watch. Now, England, I am very, very interested in. They have not been in a semifinal since, I think, 1990, and they have not won the World Cup since 1966. Six, six, six.
Starting point is 01:04:33 So, yes, suffice it to say that they are very, very excited. When they beat Sweden, there was a mob of toxic men who ran into an Ikea and started going wild in there. Yeah. You know, not the best way. Ikea had that in there. Yeah. You know, not the best way. Ikea had that shit coming. Yeah, I mean, not the best way to celebrate because at the end,
Starting point is 01:04:48 it's not like the Swedish people are going to have to clean up after you. They start taking all the Allen wrenches out of all the boxes. But just all Allen wrenches. All Allen wrenches. That's interesting that, yeah, Sweden also has the same colors as Ikea.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Is that like intentional? What do you mean? Because it's like such a Swedish brand? Yeah. Isn't it a Swedish brand? Yeah, it's as Ikea. Is that intentional? What do you mean? Because it's such a Swedish brand? Yeah. Isn't it a Swedish brand? Yeah, it's a Swedish brand. Because I always associated Sweden with... Ikea?
Starting point is 01:05:12 Yeah. No, no, with different colors. Yeah, blue and yellow, right? Yeah. They're blue and yellow, and so is Ikea. Yeah. Yeah. That England game...
Starting point is 01:05:20 Interesting insight from Jack. Back to you, Miles. So Ikea's blue and yellow, right? Like the flag? Sick. I love sports. Yeah, the England-Croatia game I think will be really interesting because that's going to be a good matchup, man.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Yeah, and Croatia, they're looking just as excited to be in that semifinal as England. And so is France and Belgium. And, you know, France and Belgium feels like that would be a great final already to me because they have been the two of the most offensively potent teams. On the other side, you've got two people who really want to be there. It's going to be good.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Tomorrow, Wednesday, we'll know who will be playing on Sunday. I think it'll be France versus England. That's my bet. I do feel like these are the four teams that I think it'll be France versus England. Ooh, interesting. That's my bet. And I could be totally wrong. I do feel like these are the four teams that after the first round of games or so, you were like, okay, these are the four best teams essentially. Or they were in the conversation.
Starting point is 01:06:15 I remember Croatia, people were like, oh, shit, Croatia looks good. England was looking good. And France and Belgium are just the two most stacked teams. It was funny. As I was in England, though, everyone was just exercising caution in the beginning, especially when they beat Panama 6-1. I was watching with a group of English people, and I was like, yo, you guys are looking good.
Starting point is 01:06:35 And they're like, well, let's play a seat. It's only six goals. I mean, it was Panama. It wasn't like the highest opposition, but they did their thing, and a lot of people were coming at Raheem Sterling for not looking as good as he could have in a finishing context. But if you look at the numbers, man, he's been creating a lot of chances. And for me, Harry Maguire on the England team, he came out of not obscurity, but he's shown
Starting point is 01:06:58 himself to be a first-rate defender. And I think his services will be in demand. When you listen to this, you will know who Trump's Supreme Court nominee is. We are not going to talk about it right now because we don't know yet. And we would just be predicting something that you already have the answer to. But that'll be a big deal. It'll be a fifth conservative vote. Right. At the very least, that is guaranteed. Right. So it's between Brett Kavanaugh, Raymond Kethledge, Amy Coney Barrett, and Thomas Hardiman. One of those will be the nominee by the time you hear this, and we'll unpack that tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Anything else you guys wanted to hit on before we get out of here? What else? What else? Guys, I just want to tell y'all, just treat each other with love.
