Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. Every great player needs a foil. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Listen to the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 89, Episode 1 of Your Daily Zeitgeist, a production of iHeart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness and say officially off the top, fuck coke industries and fuck Fox News. It's Monday, July 1st, 2019.
Starting point is 00:02:23 My name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Beto O'Dork, a.k.a. Julian Podcastro, a.k.a. Bill de Blasio O'Brien, a.k.a. Corny Booker, or Corny Hooker, or Horny Cooker, depending on how close we are. That's courtesy of Christy Yamaguchi-Maine, and I'm thrilled to be joined by today's acting co-host, Caitlin Durante. Hello, aka, since I'm sitting in for Miles Gray, my name anagrams to Niall Cray, plus some other letters that don't fit. Also, so last week when I was a guest, you might remember that my AKA was Lauren D. Titanic. So this week, my name also anagrams to Ruined Atlantic, which when the Titanic sunk into the Atlantic Ocean, it kind of ruined it.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Ruined the Atlantic for all of us. Yes. I refuse to swim in it anymore. Same, same. And then finally, Caitlin Durante also anagrams to Nine Tit Dracula. Does it really? Yes, it does. Good God, that is funny.
Starting point is 00:03:41 You know me, that's the best one yet. I don't know how they keep getting better, but nine-tit Dracula is... So it's a vampire cow. Right, with nine tits. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I got that. And I think tits always come in even numbers.
Starting point is 00:04:00 You would think, and usually yes, but I've discovered recently that opossums have 13 nipples. No shit. They form a circle and then there's one in the middle. Right, because the rule is that it's supposed to be 2x the number of babies that you generally give birth to. Oh, is that the rule? Yeah, so that's why we have two and and dogs have a whole shitload, because they usually give birth to a whole litter.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Whole litter. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a very special guest from the Sleepwalkers podcast, Kara Price. Hi, everybody. Hey. Hi. Welcome. A nine-titted Dracula. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Blood must spew out of the others. Oh, yeah. I didn't even think of that. That actually would work well. But if you milk that nine-titted Dracula, yeah, you're going to get some. I wonder if there's like one tit for every blood type. So there's like an O positive, you know, the universal donor, the universal recipient, like AB, etc.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Are Draculas picky about their blood types? Like which ones they like? Because mosquitoes are. My poor wife and son are whatever their favorite type is and they just attack the shit out of them and me and my other son just like get left alone it's
Starting point is 00:05:25 really terrible it's mean mosquitoes are bastards so discriminatory yeah it's really fucked up well i know in like true blood uh when they were like selling like the synthetic blood blood at bars they had like o negative and like different types of blood so i think in that show at least the canon was that different vampires prefer different blood types. Yeah. But that would be a great solution. If somebody could breed a nine-tit Dracula blood-spewing cow, then no more need to attack the humans. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I think we just solved vampires. Massive animal rights issue. Yeah, that's true. Oh, PETA would not like this. PETA probably would advocate for humans to be turned to vampires instead of the milking of a cow clearly built specifically for blood milking. What if it's an undead cow? Everybody just dig in because this is the whole episode by the way so i hope you're ready uh yeah no it's great anagram great questions thank you
Starting point is 00:06:34 all around uh cara yeah let's just say right off top uh in case anyone's trying to google your name how are we spelling care price p-r-e-i-s as in sam s as in sam yeah yeah so that's kara is k-a-r-a-h yeah that's right yeah so i don't know what you'll find if you google me but i do have a podcast called sleepwalkers yeah with oz voloshin yes you do yeah alls um well we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment, but first we are going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. The first story we have here, that is FiveThirtyEight's poll about the favorability and percentages for whether people would vote for candidates before and after the first night. So it shows how much the debates affected people's favorability and whether someone was going to vote for them.
Starting point is 00:07:28 And we can talk about how the first night changed things as well and how the second night changed things in our hearts. We're going to talk about Twitter's new rules, which may or may not play directly into the president's hands. We're going to talk about the straight pride parade, aren't we, Caitlin? We sure are. We're going to talk about New York City has declared a climate emergency. But first, Cara, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? So, El Torero de la Tora. The Jewish gay matador.
Starting point is 00:08:10 No, what I had Googled was gay Jewish matador. Okay. That was something that I looked up in my recent search history. And this, you know, this is a guy who was the first of his kind in many ways, I think. who was the first of his kind in many ways, I think. He was a gay Jewish matador who lived in Spain but was based in Brooklyn. No, I was based in Brooklyn. Oh, what?
Starting point is 00:08:36 Died in Brooklyn penniless. No, died in Greenwich Village penniless. Got it. But my sister had sent me a screenshot of him, and he is my grandfather's twin. Oh, wow. Whoa. Really looked like my grandfather, who was a straight Jew from Brooklyn. Also matador.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Exactly. So I Googled it, and I've been obsessed with this story. The New York Times reported on it because, you know, pride. Right. So they're like scouring the net for the weirdest gays they can find right right and he's one of them although i think being a gay jewish man sort of lends itself also to being a matador in terms of he's very lean he loved fashion and there's a great quote from the article that they're quoting him and he says people would say but you're jewish mr markwood
Starting point is 00:09:25 said and he'd say yes but the bulls are catholic ah pretty good yeah i don't that has to do with me there there it is now i think we know everything we need to know about you uh what is something you think is overrated uh plant-based milk okay like almond milk and stuff yeah coconut milk? It's disgusting. Should I say, maybe I could say something more about, you know, AI, but I just think plant-based milk is disgusting. You have any particular...
Starting point is 00:09:57 Well, it tastes like cardboard. Okay. All of it tastes like cardboard. Being in LA, I live in New York, and being in LA is particularly egregious for the half and half users of America. Right. I went to a cafe the other day here, and they had no milk. Right. They only had plant milk.
Starting point is 00:10:16 There's a lot of udder-based content today. I mean, well, yeah. Oh, yeah. Or lack thereof. Right, exactly. Plant-based milk is disgusting because we all want Dracula tit milk. I want tit milk all day. So you are not lactose intolerant, it doesn't sound like?
Starting point is 00:10:34 I wouldn't know. But it's, I mean, I am. It makes me ill because I'm Jewish, as you know, from my search history. Right. And it does make me ill, but not as much as oat milk. Oh, wow. I was going to ask about oat milk ask about because people are like well have you tried oat milk because that's the new milk coconut is the coconut no no coconut oat almond i love almond milk macadamia nut is the new one oh yeah okay macadamia nut but milk is like milk is from an udder. This is almond water.
Starting point is 00:11:07 That's what oat milk, almond milk is. So I think it's overrated. And it's just, I mean, there was like, Oatly was backordered. Yeah. People went wild in Los Angeles for oat milk. Yes, especially. The oat milk craze of 2017 was a violent period in LA's history. I would imagine.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah. I would imagine. I think it's also like if you, I was talking to this guy yesterday who's a scientist and he said, just put quantum or neuro on anything and you can sell it. Quantum oat milk? Yeah. Well, that. But quantum oat milk, I was like, I need to go home right now and create a product that's quantum plant based milk.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Right. Because it gets it clears your neurotoxins. It's tiny. Right. And it just clears you out. Right. Exactly. Neurotoxins.
Starting point is 00:11:58 That's another one. Yeah. I mean, I'll get backlash. Everyone likes it. Right. I just I get half and half. It makes my friends sick that I use half and half. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Yeah. But it makes coffee taste like a milkshake. Yeah. I wouldn't put almond milk or any of those nut milks or anything in coffee. That is gross. Oh, you drink it. No, no, no. I put it on cereal.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Oh. Pretty much that's all I do with it. I might do that just because it would be watered down by the sugars of cereal, which I can get on board with. Yeah, I find real milk now tastes disgusting because I made the transition to almond milk a while ago. But I only ever, like I still eat milk ice cream. Right, right. Vegan ice cream is like, just don't eat it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Don't eat ice cream. Sorbet. Go fuck yourself, sorbet. Vegan cheese? No thanks. Diet cheese? Literally. Someone gave me a vegan cheese slice.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Sorry, I was just thinking about it. That's why I was speechless. It was that. It was disgusting. Disgusting. I was raised on skim milk. I mostly drink plant-based milks these days, but I still think cereal is 20 times better with whole milk. Ew.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I just find it so- There's just something about that thick, rich tit juice that gets me every time. What is something you think is underrated? Oh, the USPS. Coastal Service. Yeah, Coastal Service. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I think it's probably our strongest heritage brand in the US. Okay. And I think that it is, when I think about what happens every day for a letter to get somewhere else, it brings me to tears. Wow. I don't know maybe i mean
Starting point is 00:13:45 i think a lot of other people respect the usps although it's dwindled or actually trump would not call the usps the failing usps for some reason he likes it i think it's like an establishment thing um but yeah the the united states postal service stamps i mean i'm a philatelist there's just a everything about it to me is so attractive is a philatelist there's just a everything about it to me is so attractive is a philatelist a stamp collector yes stamp enthusiast yes not someone who fillates no that's a philatelist well there's not there's a facialist right which is someone who treats the top of a stamp with their finger but yeah i have a lineage of philatelists nice what's your favorite stamp do you have a right now the ellsworth kelly stamp is very cool it's the artist that you know they do like these capsule
Starting point is 00:14:34 collections of stamps and he's one of them i had one sally rye and may she rest um may she rest i think she's dead and um okay so he is a very simple abstract artist that's right his art is a wow it is really cool it's cool right and it's like made for stamps i also buy i think stamps are great i and i love to you know recently i signed a lease and they were like do you want to do the easy pay thing? And I said, no, I want to mail the check. Because you want to. Just to be able to use stamps. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I'm a hoe for shipping and handling. I've always been one. I love going to the, I love to mail. I'm in the USPS like at least four times a week, really. So you like the process of going to the post office a lot which i have to tell you as a podcaster that is sacrilege because podcasting was built on the assumption that going to the post office is literal hell on earth uh because of stamps.com like oh stamps.com right go back and listen to early podcasts that have the baked in ads they're gonna
Starting point is 00:15:46 be like wait why was why did everybody hate the post office so much back then uh because that was just the number one built-in presumption of of all podcasts was that well we all fucking hate the post office am i right guys um i have a stamps.com account do you yeah and i use all the time media nothing less yeah yeah but i listen to podcasts in line at the post office that's the whole thing i mean you're that you're not supposed to be allowed to do that but um i'm sorry if those were uh unrelated to my themes no it's great we're learning a lot about but those are my things and then finally what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false? Well, I don't know so much if this is a myth, but there's this sense when you,
Starting point is 00:16:31 nine out of ten people, if you ask them what AI is, it's the same people where you ask what gluten is. They're like bread. AI is the same way where I think most people think of robots or like artificially intelligent robots or people who are going to take your job or robots that are going to take your job or robots that are going to take your jobs right whereas ai is really like what allows you to order a starbucks coffee when you're in your car you're still on the train like i mean that's not the best example but
Starting point is 00:16:56 like ai is basically part of and parcel of everything that we now do right on our parcel something that you might mail at the post office. Yes, exactly. I mean, she's on brand, right? That's right. You're building a brand here. I mean, it is my dream to do a short form web series where I visit all of the post offices of America.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Would that be possible? No. There's probably not. Not in one lifetime. When development people are like, what's the audience? Right. That would be a hard question to answer. Old people who will be dead by the end of this meeting.
Starting point is 00:17:34 That's right. But AI is sort of finding ways to mimic like neuron connections, right? Yeah. Well, it's also, I mean, you're talking about elections. I mean, it's really an amazing way to make predictions about things using data. Right. So the human mind can only compute so much
Starting point is 00:17:55 and take into account so much data, whereas algorithms can look at vast amounts of data, whether it be pictures, well, code, I guess, and then make predictions based on those things. Right. We're better at catching tumors and we're better at catching all sorts of things just from loading scans into AI. Or free throws.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Into Haley Joel Osment's brain, I think. Is that right? That's right. That's how it works. Yeah. But like, you know, the Raptors used AI to help better their game. Velociraptors in Jurassic Park used AI? The Drake Raptors.
Starting point is 00:18:37 The Drake Raptors. They should just change their name. To the Drake Raptors. I'm so sorry, Toronto. How did they use AI? I'm so sorry, Toronto. How did they use AI? So basically you can use AI to make better, again, for prediction's sake, to look at your shot history and sort of better understand maybe where you should be placing yourself on the court.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Right, where you should be taking more shots. That's right. Yeah. So there's machine learning. I mean, this is machine learning. Machine learning is basically now being harnessed in like every possible field you can imagine. Yeah. And that's artificial intelligence. It's using computers to make decisions. Right. Now, sleepwalkers would imply, that title would imply that we're unaware of something. I would say, yeah. And what are we unaware of?
Starting point is 00:19:30 Well, I think people don't think about their data enough generally. I think maybe in the past two years, maybe. I think also post-election tampering, people started, and the Cambridge Analytica scandal scandal people started thinking more about oh my god like facebook has a lot of information about me and it's being given to other companies that i don't want to have my information yeah so on the most basic level not thinking about that enough is is sleepwalking right you know the idea now that certain states, I mean, now there's two only, but certain states are, you know, making the government use of facial recognition technology illegal is a good, is a step in the right direction, I personally think. people have an appreciation for okay if like is is the dmv using my face to make predictions about other things legislatively right so oz took the phrase yeah my co-host took the phrase from
Starting point is 00:20:39 a british history book but i boring british no he's gonna be but, but I think, you know, for him also, when he was thinking of the show, which he asked me to do a little later on, but when he was thinking of this show, you know, he, he started to think about, well, what are all the things that I don't know that aren't going to be happening in the future, but actually are happening right now. And how can I talk to the people who have built these tools who who a lot of them are like, sounding the alarm, you know, people who worked at Facebook who were like, yeah, well, they trained, people created the like button were like trained on the same tools that they use to build casinos. Right? Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's, you're losing your free will, because, you know, there are all these ways that companies are manipulating
Starting point is 00:21:27 your mind to make the decisions they want you to make. And so you're like reframing it as from a thing about like, well, I don't care what they know about me because I, you know, I have nothing to hide and I'm a to hide. And I'm a Boy Scout. No, but you are not in control of your own life because they know so much about you and they're, you know, manipulating your life in the background. And some people don't. I mean, I think a lot of people don't care. Like, you know, I spoke to these parents on the podcast who were like, well, if Amazon knows when I need diapers, that makes my life a lot easier. Right. who were like, well, if Amazon knows when I need diapers, that makes my life a lot easier.
Starting point is 00:22:09 But it's also, are you okay with the fact that Amazon also sells consumer facial recognition technology to government contracts? Yeah. Yeah. It's all sorts of. My face is very hot, so I want as many people to see it as possible. Exactly. Don't say hot, because they're also tracing biometrics, honey. Oh, wait, what does that mean exactly?
Starting point is 00:22:29 Like your actual body temperature. What? Well, I mean, I'm a vampire, a nine-titted vampire, so my body is actually very cold. A hot face actually implies that you are nervous about something and might be carrying a bomb. Yeah. You never heard the term hot face? No. Yeah. You hot face.
Starting point is 00:22:51 It's not that. Cool. Good to know. But yes, all that anything that can be scanned and then compared to other things that have been scanned is using ai to detect or like whitelist or blacklist someone so now they're doing it with a laser called jetson where they're
Starting point is 00:23:17 actually using your heartbeat as a biometric monitor so like like, oh, that's Jack's heart. Like if they can't see your face because you're compromised, they're starting to be able to read people in other way there. When I say there, it's like DARPA is developing these things. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:23:37 So if you have like an increased heartbeat that will like be telling of, oh, that person's lying. Well, it's just how your heartbeats is a very particular signature that only you have oh yeah i didn't realize that but apparently yeah it's a finger it's exactly like a fingerprint yeah your heartbeat is a is like a fingerprint oh really i didn't know that yeah yeah exactly super cool my heartbeat is so dope is like a hip-hop yeah yeah it's like b it's like in an acapella group mine's like
Starting point is 00:24:05 yeah it's all very so those are all aie things wow like when you go on jet blue and you're using your face to board a plane you should just ask people who work at jet blue where's that data going is it a hard delete are you storing that data and then selling it to the U.S. government? And I think the answer a lot of the time is no, and there are a lot of people who are working in this sort of ethical surveillance, if such a thing is possible, who are really like creating tools
Starting point is 00:24:37 to also sound the alarm. Same with people who are developing technology to detect deep fakes. They have to create deep fakes in order to detect them. So, you know, it's the kind of thing to just keep your eyes open to. Yeah, don't sleepwalk into it by listening to sleepwalkers. But if your eyes are open, then they're going to use retinal scanners.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Right, that's true. Well, they've now, there's of course a Kickstarter. Respectacles, I think they're called. Something like that. that's true well they've now there's of course a Kickstarter Respecticles I think they're called something like that I want to say I might be saying it's something
Starting point is 00:25:09 it's something Ecticles and it turns your eye into that like it beams it back right into the camera oh really
Starting point is 00:25:17 well funded I always think well funded Kickstarters and then you're like malaria like what what in the fuck are you creating this for? That's better than saving people's lives from malaria.
Starting point is 00:25:30 It's just crazy, but whatever. Yeah, whatever. We also have a search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Also, don't keep your eyes open and just keep your ears open and listen to podcasts. They'll tell you everything you need to know. That's right. Audio is very safe.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Walk around with your eyes closed and podcasts in your ears and you will be safe. No danger there. So basically be a blind hipster for the rest of your life. There you go. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. My name is Manuel Delia.

Starting point is 00:29:01 and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch.
Starting point is 00:29:31 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? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better listen to the making of a rivalry caitlin
Starting point is 00:29:50 clark versus angel reese on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast And we're back and kind of staying on a similar subject to, you know, ways that Silicon Valley is controlling us. So Twitter announced that they will start blocking the tweets of famous celebrities and politicians. Basically, they will start demanding that politicians follow their terms of service, which I assumed that they... I knew they didn't do this because of things that the president tweets and gets away with, but I assumed that was like an unspoken thing and in this case they're just like no no we we have a total double standard for influential people and we let them do whatever they want up to this point but now we're going to start you know paying a little bit more attention to them which is pretty wild yeah well how does the celebrity you know break the terms
Starting point is 00:31:07 so see so some of the examples that people were pointing to are when the president used his twitter account to threaten nuclear war with north korea copy or share a video depicting violence against CNN where like a wrestler beat the shit out of a another wrestler who had CNN photoshopped over their head very subtle sometimes he is a funny motherfucker oh he's funny a lot of the time it's just terror it's terror yeah he's very entertaining which I think is a big part of what got us. He like hacked the entertainment industrial complex. That's what makes him different than Marianne. Incredibly entertaining. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Yeah. Actually, she's pretty entertaining. Or when he retweets misinformation about Muslims, a Twitter spokesperson said the change was not inspired by any specific world leader. Okay. not inspired by any specific world leader okay people also pointed to uh brazil's far right homophobic president uh bolsonaro tweeted like during carnival like carnival celebration started to turn against him a little bit people were like fuck bolsonaro. And he then tweeted a video of somebody giving someone else a golden shower during Carnival and people celebrating that.
Starting point is 00:32:32 And he was like, I mean, you see what these sickos are doing? At the pee-pee party. Right, at the pee-pee party. And it's like, you pulled that pretty quickly. You had that just on file, huh? Yeah, so that's another example of this sort of thing that twitter would uh so they're holding people more accountable despite their influence they are but it's they're not so they're basically overtly setting up a sort of tier system where users are officially allowed to break the rules and instead of getting
Starting point is 00:33:07 removed from the platforms like they have this thing where it just like grays out the content and you have to basically ask to see it and then you it's like redaction right exactly and they they will not spread those tweets they won't't feature them. And even if they are viral tweets, you won't see them in your moments feed. But our writer, J.M. McNabb, was kind of pointing out that this system could very easily play right into Trump's tiny hands because by playing the victim, that's his go-to move is acting like he's being victimized. I mean, it's all fascists go-to move. But, you know, he recently said on Fox News that Google and Facebook should be sued over their bias towards conservatives. And the subreddit are that Donald was quarantined recently after members were inciting violence against cops and basically threatening to murder police officers. This subreddit, people finally got shut down.
Starting point is 00:34:20 By the way, do you guys know that story about the Oregon politicians? No, I don't think so. So the Democratic Congress in Oregon was trying to pass a climate bill and the Republicans left the state to like go hide out to avoid having to vote on it because that is apparently like their version of a filibuster, which is a thing that has happened before. And in fact, the Democrats in Texas did that, I think in the 90s. But this time the Republicans are hanging out with three percenters, which is like this heavily armed militia.
Starting point is 00:34:54 And they're basically saying if the police, if you bring the police to us, we will kill them. And then people on Are the Donald were like basically talking about like starting a war in Oregon, which I should have known shit like this was going to happen in Oregon when Robert Evans, the host of Behind the Bastards, was like, he moved to Oregon from Southern California because he was like, yeah, that's where a bunch of really crazy shit's going to be. And I need to be there. He's the one who, we were on his show and he told me about the three percenters.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yeah. He also told me that it was literally illegal. There were no black people allowed in Oregon. Like it was one of the states in the United States. Early on. Yeah, until like the 1920s or something like that. Yeah, like too soon ago. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Yes. So as a result of a bunch of death threats being posted on are the Donald by Donald Trump supporters. They quarantined that, which means you can still get to it, but you have to like go through a couple of paywalls and you can't like find it on Google or not paywalls, but like blocks where you have to be like, are you sure? Are you sure? And so I don't know. It just seems like what's going to be more popular than Trump tweeting something that does get flagged by Twitter's new rule and then Trump freaking out about that?
Starting point is 00:36:13 That becomes a news cycle. And people are also pointing out that Twitter itself is not... His Twitter feed is not the thing that actually gets his message out it's that he tweets tweets out messages that then get covered by the news by tv news by all manner of news so it's just this wouldn't really affect that it would just be a way for him to act like he's getting victimized while still getting the same message out on Fox News and when it's outrageous enough in the rest of the mainstream media.
Starting point is 00:36:52 So, yeah, just something to keep an eye on, guys. Let's check in with FiveThirtyEight. So pre-debate, Joe Biden was 41%. After the first debate, he went down to 35%. After the second debate, he went down to 31%. Whoa, that's a huge drop. Yeah, so he fell off 10%. Before the first debate, Elizabeth Warren was 12%.
Starting point is 00:37:22 After the first debate, she was 18%. And then after the second debate, for some reason, she got hurt really bad by the second debate. She went back down to 14%. Really? I'm assuming because Kamala Harris, let's look at what... Rocked it till the break of dawn. Yeah. So she went before the first debate was at 8%. After the first debate, it was 6.3%. So she lost a percentage point, presumably to Elizabeth Warren, because Elizabeth Warren had a big jump after the first debate. After this last debate, she is at 16, 17%. So she jumped up over 10 percentage points.
Starting point is 00:38:02 So she's doing good. uh over 10 percentage points so she's doing good uh people judge went from 6.7 before the debates to 4.8 after them corey booker went from three percent before the first debate to four percent after the first debate back down to three percent and beto o'rourke just continues to hemorrhage support from 3.6% down to 2.2%. But, I mean, that might not seem like that significant of a change. But, you know, when that's all you've got is 2%, that probably seems like a lot. So by now, this is probably in the news stream and been done and dusted and digested by everybody. But it's still, you know, we assumed after Biden's performance that he was going to be hurt. People made a huge deal of the Kamala Harris thing. And I think she did a really good job of driving home some of the
Starting point is 00:39:00 racial issues that he was already having. But i think the thing that was new was how kind of unsteady on his feet he seemed like he just didn't seem very nimble like mentally and i think the the thing that stuck with me the most was when they asked okay first day in the white house what is your number one priority gonna be and everybody was like you know climate change this that and he said beat donald trump which is he would have presumably so you've already right he means that he wants to like beat him up right that's what somebody that's making that point um but yeah it seems like a big portion of his support went to Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris. Some went to Bernie Sanders.
Starting point is 00:39:50 What did Sanders do? Let's see. He went to, before the first debate, he was at 14.4. After the first debate, rose up to 16.4. And then after the second debate, rose again about one percent to 17.3 okay are we looking at a lizzy lizzy bernie a ticket a ticket yeah i could see that um it seems like a lot of her support went to kamala harris and uh and bernie sanders so it seems like similar sort of appeal. I'd like a Warren
Starting point is 00:40:28 Harris ticket. Yes. Give me that please. Yeah. Who's who? You know what? Good question. Let me think on it. Do you need me to... What do you mean who's who? Like which one would be
Starting point is 00:40:43 president? Do you need pics? Please explain to me which one is yeah i'm sorry which one is elizabeth warren and which one is kamala harris just imagine elizabeth warren with kamala harris's name that's like what if we combine the two together into a hybrid person and then add some AI in there. That's right. Well, AI could predict whose name, this is why machine learning is cool, you could predict whose name would be the likeliest
Starting point is 00:41:15 to win a presidential election. Huh. Based on what? Well, you'd have to set the rules. So either you could set it based on consonants and vowels, you could set it on syllables, things like vowels you could set it on like syllables for some reason i think b having a b in your name as a middle name or anything just a that is really playing well yeah biden buddha judge bernie Dole, the sexiest politician of all,
Starting point is 00:41:47 Cory Booker, Beto. It seems like that's... These are an amazing... Yeah. Oh, Brian. That's right, folks. I'm announcing my... Elizabeth Warren. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:57 She should go by Beth. We call her Beth. Okay, so Kamala needs a B in her name. Kamala B. Harris. Is that her middle initial? You know what? It might actually be. Kamala Ben Harris. Okay, so Kamala needs a B in her name as well. Kamala B. Harris. Is that her middle initial? You know what? It might actually be. Kamala Bin Harris.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Wait, is it? No, it's not. No. All right, guys. Let's real quick. D. Oh, shit. D is a terrible letter.
Starting point is 00:42:18 I think the debate sort of made all of this more interesting and possible to pay attention to. It just seemed like we had the same opinions about everybody for a long time. And at least things are moving a little bit. There's a little motion. Yeah. Yeah. People are paying attention.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Yeah. It's funny that Bernie is just, you know, 14 to 16 to 17. It's like he changed less between the debates that he actually participated in than the debate uh that he didn't participate in because i and that makes sense to me because there's nothing you can learn from a bernie sanders speech at this point if you've been paying attention right at all for the past six years. And I mean, part of me, like, I like that because there's something authentic about that, that like, this is what I believe.
Starting point is 00:43:13 It's not changing no matter how you frame it. This is what I believe. But there was a point during the debate where they asked him a question specifically about race and he was like, we got to change, we got to go after the corporations. And it's just like, is... Because I'm struggling with who I support, and if he's the president of the United States,
Starting point is 00:43:38 it's a complicated job, I guess. So it's authentic to be that ideologically like centered and you know have that same answer and that lens that you view everything through but if there is a racial crisis which there's an ongoing one in the country with you know cops shooting people of color or if there is a national security crisis like does he's just like we have to go after the corporations right yeah like that's not quite the response to that particular problem right so we will see what i think so i guess so that his uh like numbers changed more in the debate that he didn't participate in. That means that like,
Starting point is 00:44:26 I guess people had like, were favoring two candidates and then they were like, oh, well I didn't like how that person did in that first debate. I guess I'll switch to Bernie. Like, right. Well,
Starting point is 00:44:38 I was on Bernie and now I'm back. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. That is funny though. All right, we're going to take a quick break and then we'll be back to talk about the straight pride parade. Don't think we forgot about you straight guys.

Starting point is 00:48:41 Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and the straight pride parade is back in the news. I had kind of assumed, I didn't wanna talk too much about this because it seemed like it could be one of those things. Stunt. The grand marshal of the parade is Milo Yiannopoulos who is a, he's a troll.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Feminist icon, queer icon. Exactly. Everyone's favorite, yeah. But he's a troll who will announce an appearance. And he did that thing where he was going to go to Stanford and take over campus. And people were like, please don't. Or maybe it was Berkeley. And then there was a bunch of controversy. And then he never ended up doing it because he was just there to rack up some mentions um but it does seem like this is going forward caitlin yes it does because
Starting point is 00:49:51 the city of boston officials there approved the application that would allow a group to hold the straight pride parade um the group is called super happy fun america uh so that just is they clearly are disproving the idea that straight people don't have a way with language because those are very i mean that that proves they know they know dozens of words in the english language. Super happy, fun America. Sure, okay. Or is that what they think gay people represent? It's like super happy, fun. They're making a mockery? I've thought about that too, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Or this is their attempt to compete with. Well, because I would say if you did straight pride, it would be like flannel khaki. The opposite of super happy and fun. Right, right. It would be extremely boring. Mediocre flannel khaki the opposite of super happy and right right it would be extremely boring mediocre flannel khaki yeah offense no i i straight people are terrible mediocre might be beyond their grasp right right right right yeah so this is an event that is meant to of course counter the city of boston Boston and many other cities across the country. LGBTQ plus pride parade that happens every year.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Right. Why do they get a day? Why do black people get an E.T. to entertainment channel? Why do. Yeah. Right. You name it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Yes. So the president of this group, Super Happy Fun America, John Hugo, submitted the application. And the slated date for the parade is August 31st. Which is straight Pride Month. August-ous? Yes. I would say the worst month of the year. In America. Yeah, easily. Like the worst movies come out in August, I feel like. It's just everyone's like leaning on fuck alone.
Starting point is 00:51:50 There are no good holidays in August. Yeah. So, I mean, sorry if your birthday is in August, but it is a terrible month. Yeah. It's a great, the people who are born in the month are great. Yes, agree. My mom. Your mom should have held it if you were born in August. Jamie Loftus, of course. Is born in August? month are great. Yes, agree. My mom. Your mom should have held it.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Jamie Loftus, of course. Is born in August? Yeah, August 18th. My sister is an August. Barack Obama. Oh, yeah. Is he August? Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:15 I think so, yeah. I just agree with you. Bill Clinton, but he's not a great guy. This is amazing. Sarah June, the special guest co-host from last Friday's episode, guessed Miriam Williamson's astrological sign. What is it? It's cancer.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Oh, yeah. You're like, oh, yeah, well, of course. Do you love when people do that? Right. Yeah, uh-huh. So now I believe in that. So what can we do to participate? No, what can we do to uh participate no what can we do to do you think by august 31st that it'll go down i certainly hope not yeah but so everyone's like
Starting point is 00:52:55 why like boston why are you letting this happen and uh the mayor marty walsh said that boston cannot deny super happy fun amer America's public event application, even though they disagree with the organizers' values and or beliefs. OK. He quote, permits to host a public event are granted based on operational feasibility, not based on values or endorsements or beliefs. The city of Boston cannot deny a permit based on an organization's values. This is what he tweeted on June 6th.
Starting point is 00:53:27 And then he added, whatever outside groups may try to do, our values won't change. I invite each and every person to stand with us and show that love will always prevail. So he's basically saying like, well, just because we recognize that these people are a bunch of idiots
Starting point is 00:53:42 who also have ties to alt you know alt-right groups white supremacists all this stuff uh we still have to allow them you know their right to assemble i feel like there should be some sort of like hate group exception though you know i don't know why that's not a thing but i mean that people like i guess what uh you know the kkk has been assembling legally for a while right it's just i guess it'll be another opportunity to get pictures of these people right fired by publicly shaming them that's true from their jobs yeah which i mean then we have to think about it's It's like, where are they working? Right.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Where's their nine to five? Well, but I think a lot of people, I remember during the Unite the Right rally, people were like, I didn't know. Like, yeah, he seemed like an asshole, but I didn't know he was a white supremacist. There are, yeah, there's a lot of woodworkers. Right. Inside of the woodwork that come out but boston was the site of the like follow-up to the unite the right uh rally which like almost no one went to right yeah it was like five people
Starting point is 00:54:56 poorly attended that's that's a trump insult the poorly attended Unite the Right Festival. Right. Yeah, exactly. So maybe I could see this going any number of ways. I imagine that attendance wouldn't be great if they're able to go through with it. I mean, just imagine what would even be happening at this parade. Well, that's what I was going to say. It wouldn't be super happy fun. There are going to be no corporate sponsors, which we have now. What are straight specific products or things that you can celebrate? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Right. What is the unicorn cake? I guess like cock rock. Is that? But that's- Oh, you know what it is? Skull. Skull? Yeah. what is the unicorn I guess like cock rock is that but like oh you know what it is skull is very straight
Starting point is 00:55:51 is hetero or it could be very butch I don't know yeah that's true Oakley oh shit yeah I think Bonobos oh come on it's a good brand I'm just saying it's straight Oh, shit. Super producer Nick Stumpf just... Yeah. I think Bonobos.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Bonobos? Oh, come on. It's a good brand. I'm just saying it's straight. Yeah. Okay. Fine. It's straight.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Crocs. I'm sure plenty of gay men wear Bonobos. I don't know. Although Crocs are fashion now. That's true. Oakleys are really... Oakleys with baseball cap and beard is a shirt that's like oh hunting things
Starting point is 00:56:27 like all hunting yeah tactical yeah a shirt that's like not like touching me that's great
Starting point is 00:56:35 does Chick-fil-A still hate gay people yeah as someone in Atlanta said to me recently you know Chick-fil-A hates the LBGTs I'm like
Starting point is 00:56:42 yes they do someone said that yes well they do. Someone said that. Yes. Well, they hate the LGBTs, man. Not queer people, though. No. They love non-binary people. The BLTs.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Right. So the group's slogan, Happy Fun America, or whatever the fuck they're called, their slogan is, it's great to be straight. Oh, because great and straight. Whereas it pays to be gays. Right, that's right. And they claim that straight people are an oppressed majority
Starting point is 00:57:17 and that they should be included as equals among all of the other orientations. So that's where they're coming from. I guess bears saying, I don't know why people need to be constantly reminded of this, but when you are the oppressor and you are oppressing marginalized groups, that does not also mean that you are somehow oppressed yourself.
Starting point is 00:57:46 I don't. I do think this idea of straight visibility is very funny. Yeah. It's like, open your eyes. It's visible. Yeah, it's everywhere. That's right. It's ubiquitous.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Yeah, I'm trying to think of like a reverse bechdel test that you could do for like two straight people try and find a movie that in any way discriminates like doesn't contain straight people oh like discriminates against straight people or just like one cultural example like their their examples are going to be like don't put that stuff in my face man right you're setting a bad example for my kids my daughter thanks for everything julie newmar right yeah get that out of here uh-huh yeah that's probably the but the fact that they think that's the norm it's's interesting. Not really, actually. It's very boring.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Well, no, it's not interesting at all. You're right. But it is curious. That's right. That they feel as though the scales have tipped in the favor of the LGBTQIA community. It's just a sensitivity where they feel like anytime somebody takes pride in anything that doesn't include them,
Starting point is 00:59:21 that they are being discriminated against. Anytime somebody says, please don't say that word in front of me, they are like, wait, I'm going to come from outside of the room to argue that I should be able to say that word even though I wasn't involved in it.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Yeah, I know people like that. So we're all going to go, right? August 31st. I mean, should we? Like, honestly. I'll be in Boston like two weeks before that. So that is what I miss working for HuffPost.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Maybe they would have let me go. Oh, just to cover it? Yeah, to cover it. That's the thing. It's like a fun gay person would never want to even go. No. Why would you want to go to that? It sounds terrible.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Like what music would you have? It's just a gathering of white men. What music would you have? That's every other parade. Right. Go to the Veterans Day parade. The Dave Matthews Band? I shouldn't say that.
Starting point is 01:00:23 That's a horrible thing to say. Yeah, it's a Dave Matthews concert. Right. Is that like, yeah, there's nothing cool about it. No. No edge. Yeah. No edge.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Dave Matthews is brought to you by cargo shorts for the Straight Pride Parade. Puka. Puka shell. Puka shell necklaces and cargo shorts. New York City has declared a climate emergency. Uh-oh. It really speaks to why it's an emergency that I didn't know that they declared a climate emergency. The city that you live in.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Right. Right. I was like, oh, shit. So what specifically are they declaring, Kaitlin? So they've declared this climate emergency. They're calling for an immediate response to the global climate crises. There's more than one crisis. There's crises out there.
Starting point is 01:01:19 New York City Council has passed this legislation on June 26. So it was a few days ago. The lawmakers wrote, the United States of America has disproportionately contributed to the climate emergency and has repeatedly obstructed global efforts to transition toward a green economy, and thus bears an extraordinary responsibility to rapidly address these existential threats. We already know all of this stuff. So basically, climate emergencies like this one that New York just declared, New York City just declared, function as a symbol of the commitment to fight climate change with future legislation, rather than actually including any specific policy measures on what will actually be done to slow climate change. So it's basically just saying like, hey, everyone calling your
Starting point is 01:02:11 attention to this, which like, sure, I guess that's step one. But the fact that like climate change is happening at such a more rapid pace than climate scientists had even previously anticipated. And every time anyone comes out with a study, the results are very alarming. It's like, oh, the permafrost is melting at a bazillion times faster than we thought. The accelerated change that's happening is very very alarming and it just feels like everyone else is so slow to catch up we're like okay we're gonna you know say that we need to do stuff to change things and we're gonna you know declare a climate emergency but like you know we're just putting a you know that's kind of on the back burner for when we actually do something about it yeah it reminds me of like a meeting that somebody calls without
Starting point is 01:03:14 putting any thought into it's like a meeting that could have been a one sentence email yeah right or a call a call is my favorite we're saying it's bad. Okay, so what? We already knew that decades ago. Yeah. So can you please actually enact change to do something? Yeah. De Blasio is out to lunch anyway. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:36 De Blasio is trying to figure out if it's problematic to say he looks like a rat because he does. Well, you are the company you keep. Right. Yeah, exactly. New York City. But yeah, I don't know. I don't think it is. I've decided it's not problematic.
Starting point is 01:03:57 You let me know if it is problematic. I know it's like an anti-Semitic trope, but he is not. it's like an anti-semitic trope but uh he is not well i you know he did he did something i guess which was to declare this i wonder how much of this is him just like looking for like a cheap media pop oh could be yeah well here's some more hot facts if you'll let me yeah no i'm yeah these facts are sound super hot they're very hot uh according to data from the innovation innovation for cool earth forum um cool earth sounds like happy fun america yeah but anyway uh more than 670 governments in 15 different countries have declared these climate emergencies, but only 18 of those local governments, not including New York, are in the U.S.
Starting point is 01:04:51 So the U.S. seems to be, you know, not pulling its weight in terms of climate emergencies. San Francisco and Hoboken, New Jersey, have been some of the few to declare these climate emergencies, while Los Angeles, where we are right now, believe it or not, ever heard of it, has yet to formally declare an emergency, but is included in the forum's count for initiatives that council members will have to, that have made to combat climate change. I barely understood what I just read. But basically, you know, the U.S., as always, is, you know, doing a lot to contribute to climate change
Starting point is 01:05:34 and then not taking any accountability for it or not enough. So I guess New York's declaration of this, you know, emergency is significant just because of its sheer scope of the constituency there. It's because it's the largest city in the US. But even so, like I said before, sure, let's declare an emergency. But what is it doing? Remember when Trump pulled the US out of the climate accord and then Pittsburgh was like,
Starting point is 01:06:04 we're going to stick to the climate accord. Did they really? Yeah. Good for Pittsburgh. I agree. Well, they are very techno-focused, actually. Yeah, they really are. Carnegie Mellon is a really underrated learning institute.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Maybe that's what I should have said for underrated. Carnegie Mellon. What if I came out swinging? I was like, Carnegie Mellon. Yeah. Also good acting school.

Starting point is 01:06:46 Cause again, I guess it's the first step because it's to say, oh, we need to do something about this. But like being in asylums. Right. All you need to do is declare an emergency. It sounds pretty,

But she made a trolly tweet that was anyone who was fathered by a male is a byproduct of the patriarchy and should be ashamed of themselves.
Starting point is 01:08:36 But Luann de Liceppe said something that I who's on Real Housewives of New York City said something really, I thought, profound, which was, you don't help someone and throw it in their face. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Right? That's a really good point. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:09:15 not a thing, but she's decided to put out a song called Feelin' Giovanni. I guess Giovanni is whatever you want it to be. Yeah. I mean, it's a state of mind. But she's creating industry around a clothing store, which just blows my mind.
