Sorry, I should have come with like a... I know, I should have come with a 420
Starting point is 00:02:08 aka, but I'm just all out of sorts. I'm standing today because my back's fucked up, so I'm like doing... This is going to be the first podcast you've ever heard me standing. I like it. Standing energy. Miles is out
Starting point is 00:02:24 for 420 today. Just to fully fully it's not because it's 420 it's because the geist child cometh and beckon if but also i'm a little i'm a little worried i like the geist child's appearances on the podcast uh yesterday and on the trending the day before were showstoppers and i think i'm going to be replaced but that job will replace us all one day yes of course i'm thrilled to be joined by a very special guest co-host that bitch on twitch it's dj daniel goodbye well you may not have a 420 AKA, but... Cherry AK and jack hair air I blaze.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Sweet northern lights got me napping for days. Blue dream and purple kush good for my brain. These are a few of my favorite strains. When the blunt sparks, when the cloud blows, when I'm feeling sad, I sigh and get high on my favorite
Starting point is 00:03:29 strains and then i don't feel so bad that is fucking shout out to the legend math demigod rob cunningham on twitter go follow him on YouTube. He is a math legend. Thank you so much. Happy to be here. Your boy DJ Daniel, aka the Portland Trailblazer. Hey, watch out now. Happy to be here. Jack, you work with the Portland team quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:03:58 It's a pleasure to have you. Happy to be here. Yeah, your aka made me wonder, are there new ways, are there new trends in weed smoking? I haven't smoked weed in nearly a decade. I'm hearing about all this cool stuff that the kids are doing with alcohol consumption, like the big jug of water and vodka and food coloring that they're carrying around. What's the new trend in weed with the kids? You know, it's still a space race in the concentrates department. It's just about, like, making the purest, dopest dope out of these little crystals of THC and goopy terpenes and whatnot. But me, I stick to my little pen, my little extract pens,
Starting point is 00:04:40 and the occasional J. I still like to roll one up every now and then. So pardon me for kicking it old school compared to the new kids with their fancy puff coves and whatnot but um yeah it's uh you know i i still kick it old school is anybody going the opposite direction and being like i want the gentlest high yes possible like please i don't want to be violently high that was always the thing that i was back when I smoked weed, like you never knew what you were going to get. I guess I also didn't like buy my own weed. I wasn't a connoisseur of any sorts. I would just smoke weed with other people. And in that practice, you never know what you're
Starting point is 00:05:15 going to get. And I would sometimes just find myself on another planet without intending to be there. Brother, I feel you. B, there is literally a company this is not paid advertising but i just happen to listen to the doughboys and they talk about it all the time you ever heard of diet smoke it's literally called diet smoke and it's supposed to be like low-grade weed that's for the every smoker who's like no i'm not really trying to blast off and disappear from this you know from this mortal coil i'm kind of just trying to like be a little bit high and there is stuff for that so that is absolutely a market that is totally worth pursuing if anybody is interested in getting back into cannabis but doesn't want to buy three hundred dollars worth of bongs and you know right yeah terpenes well well dan we are thrilled to be
Starting point is 00:06:01 joined it's been enough of our bullshit chit chat let's get down to it we're thrilled to be joined by one of our favorite guests here on the daily zeitgeist a talented writer host actress welcome back to the show the brilliant and talented danny fernandez yes my ad could be um eddie bulls i fuck with edibles man so that's my yeah so i want a general i think a lot of people want a general high the thing that i don't understand is how people can get high and then write like who wants to write when you're i want to take a bath and go to bed like i need like a red bull to write i need the opposite i think yeah i think we there are certain people for whom you know you know there's the thing with like add medication for people who don't need it it
Starting point is 00:06:54 affects them like speed and for people who do need it it actually calms them down like i think there's a similar thing that happens with weed like i know people who used to like need to get high before class to like do as well as they possibly could i just think that there's it totally affects people in different ways for me it gave me a panic attack and i just kept going i just kept being like nah i want to be cool i'm gonna keep giving myself a panic attack but yeah writing while high I the times that I tried that was non-productive I will say I'm similarly unproductive when it comes to being high I can I can smoke weed and play ultimate frisbee and that's about as far as hilarious mind-functioning active activity plus weed can get other than that it's on the couch watching Succession or something.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Succession seems stressful to me. Honestly, you know what? I did a couple episodes of Superblaze and I had to watch them again because I was like, I think I missed a whole business transaction. Who's this old guy again? Stop telling me to fuck off.
Starting point is 00:08:02 How much of the business lingo are we supposed to understand because i feel like they throw a bunch in there that's probably like a reference to something they've worked out in the writer's room but like they're not counting on us knowing what the fuck they're talking about i feel like it excites it's the same thing with like all of their la slash hollywood references like i just i know that it excites the groups that it excites and i wrote on a similar show that had like a big business aspect and we we had like a business uh someone that that's their job that went through all of the scripts to kind of make it sound like we actually knew what the fuck we were talking about like oh wow business consultant yeah business consultant there you go
Starting point is 00:08:45 wow sorry i am high so no but i mean usually business consultant is the most general job that you can possibly tell someone you do like that's all that must be the number one job that cia agents tell people they do because they know it will immediately turn people's brain off but also kind of true yeah they're like you know mckinsey it's like mckinsey but not yeah because i also kill people exactly all right danny we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about your boy daniel has brought some 420 news uh the bipartisan hope act is being reintroduced by aoc among others so we'll talk about that we'll talk about how the fox dominion settlement is being covered or not covered
Starting point is 00:09:35 specifically by fox news by newsmax and oan both of whom have pending lawsuits with them we might get into some great pac garbage patch. I think we shouldn't call it great. I think it's bad, but we'll talk about that big old garbage patch between California and Hawaii. We might talk about, so there's a, there's a major league baseball story, but I promise you if we talk about it, it won't be a story about baseball. It will be a story about drinking in public. One of the top two ways to drink is being affected by these new Major League Baseball rules because they've sped up the time the game takes, which also reduces the amount of beer that can be consumed. beer that can be consumed or it you would think it would but but baseball fans are dedicated if nothing else to getting shit-faced so we'll talk about that and that pillow humping scene
Starting point is 00:10:34 were you guys familiar with this pillow humping scene uh that happened in obsession not to be confused with obsessed there's a new netflix show called obsession not yeahessed. There's a new Netflix show called Obsession. It's a combination of the Beyonce movie and the show Succession. And there is a showstopper of a scene that you might hear people referring to. So we'll give you the proper context for that. Because it seems to have thoroughly weirded out the internet. Just in my middle school fan fiction. Who hasn't humped a pillow? I know. Right, y'all?
Starting point is 00:11:22 But I don't want to see 50 something men doing it personally that's I guess it depends on which 50 something man it is oh Pedro Pascal yeah Pedro Pascal might pull it off he did no actually he did you see his esquire it was an esquire you gotta I'll send it to y'all he did hump a couch he was humping that couch he was um i might have saved it on my instagram pardon me while i google all of that plenty more but first danny we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history okay um my search history had how to predict when something will happen using tarot. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:08 So I've had, this is wild. One, I feel like I've seen every major psychic out here, including Oprah's psychic, who I love. And no, I will not give you the info for anyone that DMs me. But I have now seen four different psychics who have told me that my future partner is from New York. And like they didn't know, like I did not tell them anything. I didn't tell them one of them. One of the most recent psychic I saw was from Miami. I literally gave her like my nickname.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Like I didn't put my info for her to like look me up. But she was reading my cards and she said, I see that your partner is from New York. And I've had four other people tell me that. So I also tweeted something funny where I was like, man, I can't believe my partner has never had good Mexican food. That's crazy. And a lot of New Yorkers got mad. But anyways, I keep hearing this. I've heard this for years. So I was trying to like figure out when, when. And I think it's this summer, y'all. I've heard this for years. So I was trying to like figure out when, when. And I think it's this summer, y'all. I think it's the summer.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Okay. The summer of, this is the summer of New York. Just like, I know a lot of people are moving to New York. I don't know. It seems like a good summer for New York. I am curious what the psychics ruling would be on. So they say, okay, you're're gonna meet someone from new york then you go and with your many many followers you insult all new yorkers does it does that still hold up
Starting point is 00:13:34 like or are they like well you just sabotaged it you're like no i was kind of talking shit and a lot of like latino new yorkers wrote me like my friend christian ricardo is in new york he's a filmmaker wrote me and like several other people were like they were like stop messing around like stop you know playing games like there are there is good mexican food here so i was just kind of like you know making fun of them it's not as good as here sorry not as good as here but i was just kind of teasing them so So yeah, good natured shit talking. Yes, good natured shit talking. Some might say flirting with your eventual.
Starting point is 00:14:09 There you go. You know? Yeah. That is I've been to one psychic in the last five years, just like went to the boardwalk, Ocean City, New Jersey. Shout out. Shout out, Ocean City, New Jersey. Shout out. Shout out, Ocean City, New Jersey. But it's kind of a Zoltar atmosphere, like the place where the big miracle happens. And so I think that's kind of what I was looking for.
Starting point is 00:14:34 But they also were like, big things happening in New York for you and your wife. They actually said my wife was going to meet her partner in New York. But yeah, I was like, but we're... They were like, yeah're they were like yeah yeah don't listen to him just move it along here but yeah i just like seeing a bunch of them to see if they all say the same thing and a lot of times they do and i'm like that makes me a little and i only see ones that come heavily recommended it has to be like from a friend who was like she accurately predicted this exact thing that happened in my life and then i'm like oh i want to i want to talk to them so there you go there you go oh yeah what is what is something you think is overrated okay y'all this these stanley cups have y'all heard of these
Starting point is 00:15:19 no the thing okay and no it's a Stanley Tumbler mug. Somebody listening right now has one in their car with them right now. So my aunt got me one of these big Stanley Tumbler mugs for Christmas. And I remember thinking like, oh, that's cool. That's nice. Thank you. And my brother and sister-in-law, who I opened it up in front of, were like, oh, she got you a Stanley? I i was like what everywhere i go people comment on this my friend that i was facetiming with she was like oh you have you have a stanley and there's like tiktoks on them there's like tiktoks telling folks where you can get them when target restocks them these are like gold what i have in my hand right here is gold and so i was talking to a
Starting point is 00:16:00 girlfriend of mine and she was like yeah all all the white girlies love them. It's like moms, sorority sisters. Okay. And so I was Googling. Literally, if you type in like, why is Stanley mug, it'll come up like so popular. And I had no idea that I have the Willy Wonka golden ticket Stanley mug. Interesting. So Stanley cups. They look similar to what I would associate with Yeti.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Yeah. But they have a different logo stamped on them so I'm assuming they're just like some up up market version of like a Yeti tumbler where it's the the it'll stay your drink will stay cold for a month instead of like three days yeah what's the haps with these bad boys I also think it it's the straw. I know that sounds crazy. I'm sure that Yeti also has them. But there's something about the fact that they come with a straw that's like a really big deal. But like, I don't know if y'all know water TikTok is a big deal.
Starting point is 00:16:56 And it's a little chaotic. It'll be like I was watching. I'm trying to carefully choose my words here. Water TikTok is chaotic. I love it. There was this woman. Her TikTok is chaotic. I love it. There was this woman who, that's like a completely different culture, you guys. There was this woman who was like, this is how I make my water. It's my cotton candy water.
Starting point is 00:17:13 I start with four pumps of vanilla. It's like vanilla syrup that you would, yes. Four pumps. Vanilla syrup that you would see at Starbucks. And then I add the maple syrup. And then I add three pumps of this blue, like, yes. And that's what she needs to drink water. And so there's all of those like water, how to make like cotton candy. It's for grown adults who cannot drink water and have to have it taste like an otter pop essentially. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I can't tell if I'm like, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:43 low key disgusted or I'm mad at myself for not thinking of plussing up my water. Why am I not plussing up my water? Probably because you want to keep your teeth. Fair. That might be. Hey, you're telling me four pumps of vanilla cream would have been bad for my teeth? I never could have thought. But anyways, they do it in these Stanley cups.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I don't know. Y'all tweet at me and let me know your Stanley cup. Let me see your Stanley cups, Stanley cups. I don't know. Y'all tweet at me and let me know your Stanley cup. Like, let me see your Stanley cups, I guess. I don't know. Stanley got a lot of products, by the way. I'm on their website right now. And the offering is vast. We're talking all sorts of Stanley materials here.
Starting point is 00:18:16 And kind of want to cop. Not going to lie. They got good colors. I like being a part of a movement. You're a tastemaker, Danny. This is big right here. This is big for Stanley, I will just say. This is also interesting because the Stanley Cup has been a brand for decades because of hockey. I'm just wondering, do I go and incorporate a company that makes the Super Bowl and is the best bowl in the business?
Starting point is 00:18:48 Holy shit. I'm sure the NFL would sue my pants directly off of me. I would be in the courtroom with no pants on. You'd have to call your company the big game, unfortunately. This bowl is called the big game for some reason i have a i have a mystery for if there's any water talk tiktok water water water talk out there water heads but it sounds like water talk is like the the name of a segment on the most boring podcast ever but i so i had a tumblr thing it was like a free giveaway you know thing like what we're talking about a stanley cup but it was it was like branded from i think
Starting point is 00:19:33 a hospital that my wife worked for at some point i had water on my bedside table tap water overnight left it there the next morning usually i'll like clean it out and you know get my water for the for the next day but i left it there the next morning and then when i took the lid off the next night it smelled like someone had farted into my water cup and i'm trying i still like haven't been able to figure out what happened. Does the water contain methane? Was I having a small stroke? I don't know, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this. Leaving water enclosed overnight and then it smells just awful the next day for some reason. just awful the next day for some reason i do know that sometimes when i'm using the hot water at like in the sink it doesn't smell like the city's water la and that's not hard to it was
Starting point is 00:20:33 tap yeah it was tap so maybe there was just i just caught a bad yeah caught a bad section of the uh of the piping or something i don't know that sounded gross i don't know what that phenomenon is because it absolutely exists you leave a cup of water out for a day it goes from water to gross and there's no you know it's undeniable i i think that was i assume that was like dust and stuff landing in it and but this was enclosed and the whole thing just smelled bad. Maybe. I don't know. I'm going to get pretend sciencey here for a second. And I have a feeling there's something about like evaporation or water,
Starting point is 00:21:13 like escaping its liquid form and then turning into its vapor form on the inside of the glass and then turning back into water and dripping back in. Like maybe in something in that process, it makes it gross, but like, that's all I can think of. It mimics the inside of a stomach, and therefore the gases that are created. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:32 It's very confusing. Maybe I sleptwalked and farted into my cup. I don't know. You do do that. I do do that. I do be doing that. Dani, what is something you think is underrated? I don't know if this is considered a good movie or not.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Like, I have no concept of what's good from the 90s because I was a kid then. But I think The Mask is a really good movie. And like when I, Daniel, why, wait, you kind of were, you shook your head in a way that's. Quite the opposite. I was saying like, that is a good movie. I'm sorry. no no no please no oh my gosh you you're allowed to have your opinions i was just was like wait you're already disagreeing no not at all quite the opposite i love the mask no but like i was looking at one i i loved i feel like it shaped a lot of the shaped a lot jim carrey himself has shaped a lot of my comedic when i was growing up a lot of but
Starting point is 00:22:25 like the rotten tomatoes like here's one from siskel of siskel and ebert carrying his aggressive overbite our back but this time he's better used as an ingredient instead of as the plot and then like so mean isn't it this this is from entertainment weekly this is rotten he gave it rotten carrie now has the clout to find a vehicle worthy of his hyperactive goof gooniness when he does we'll see if he's truly a jester of our time or simply the moron of the moment and this was from 2010 those are the two options either a generational comedic talent or an idiot but okay so i i don't know why i went down a rabbit hole as you do and so he got so in 1994 he was paid 350 000 for ace ventura so to be the star that's that's pretty low but you know
Starting point is 00:23:13 whatever it was 94 then off of that he was then paid 15 million to appear in in the sequel for ace ventura when nature calls so he went from 350000 to he became such a big star in those two years that he was then paid $15 million. That's wild. Also, for all you math heads out there, I just looked up what $350,000 was in 1994 money, and that's $712,000, which for a movie star in a movie still feels like not a wild amount of money.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Like paying someone to be the star of a, like a, I don't know, like a wide release comedy, $712,000 doesn't feel like a wild amount of money. I mean, it is, of course, a lot of money, no doubt. But like that still feels like completely within the realm of possibility of not that much comparatively yeah 15 million they thought they didn't know if that movie was going to be direct to video or not you know like that's when they made the original ace ventura and then immediately discovered that they had like a phenomenon on their hands i was just gonna say in the mass cameron diaz is so hot really just so smoking hot i just there's some really pivotal women from the 90s that i was like oh yeah i'm bisexual her and selma hayek and anything but man early like 90s not even in why am i blanking not like
Starting point is 00:24:39 for me it was like fools rush in when she's like she's just like smoking hot. And Matthew Perry is like, how did I get this woman? And I'm like, exactly. Yeah. A classic 90s trope of the dumpy white dude with the absolutely drop dead gorgeous woman. So anyways, but the mask, I think it's really it's really funny. I think it's really funny. I think it holds up. And it's also a Dark Horse comics.
Starting point is 00:25:04 And with all this IP, I'm like, I know there was like son of the mask and all the other stuff but like is he i feel like he could i feel like he could have his own universe yeah we could bring that back bring him into the comic book world that was it was such a wild time when like ace ventura came out like you said they had no idea how i was gonna do but paid him three hundred thousand dollars and immediately he was his own film genre. Like, that was a period. I talk about, like, there was a period when I was young when, like, Bruce Willis movies was my favorite film genre.
Starting point is 00:25:34 And, like, there was definitely a period around this time when, like, Jim Carrey movies was every kid I knew's favorite movie, favorite genre of movie. So good. Yeah. What a run. What a run. What a run. All right.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 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.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?
Starting point is 00:28:41 This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. and we're back and the bipartisan hope act to encourage expunging weed records is back it's being reintroduced it's back baby tell them yeah so well funny story this is the 420 episode and i was like gotta find a weed story, man. And found this wonderful website, marijuana moment.
Starting point is 00:29:29 And let me tell you something. If you want to find your weed news, you got to be following marijuana moment, baby. But more importantly, I was happy to see if anything, a bipartisan effort to help people expunge their weed records. We know this is something that has been, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:43 expunging weed crimes has been a has been a like a country-wide push for probably the last like 10 years of people being like as legal weed is something that is more widely accepted across the countries more states are legalizing cannabis either for medical purposes or for recreational use the idea of expunging people for really petty possession crimes is just like a necessary next step. Also big fan of Ben and Jerry's for really leading the charge on this shout out one of my favorite ice creams. But recently earlier this week, the HOPE Act was reintroduced the HOPE Act standing for harnessing opportunities by pursuing expungement brought forward by Representative Dave Joyce, a Republican from Ohio,
Starting point is 00:30:26 and our girl, AOC Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York. It's a bill that's basically incentivizing states to speed up the expunging process because right now it's expensive, it takes a while, and the process is really unclear. And this is the part that jack noted that i definitely want to talk about one of the parts of the act is to make public how the expungement process works where it happens and just like basically a how-to on like if you want to get your record expunged this is how to do it and the fact that it is taking this act to make that public is kind of like just put it on a fucking website just put it on a free public website is they're just having to say that like that that was so revealing to me because it's like that means because that that doesn't cost anything really it costs like minimum server hosting these people these states already have
Starting point is 00:31:26 websites it's just putting a page on the website you're already paying for the hosting get your get your you know your person who's running the the freaking i don't even know what server they're using but like whatever they're using to write one extra page of oh yeah this is how it's done but this i think this is revealing because it shows that someone is making money off of that not being there. Right. And that like we talk a lot about and I've seen a lot of people in the news talk about how much incarceration costs the public and taxpayer dollars. But the dirty secret is someone is making that money. Like that money is being paid to people in the prison industrial complex. Like in the same way that like when we gawk at like the amount that is spent on defense and like all these weapons that don't ultimately like the U.S. doesn't ultimately need.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Like someone, there are private people who are becoming billionaires off of that shit. Yeah. So that's why it's happening. That's why you need a fucking bill to just be like, put this web page where people can find it, please. Yeah. And speaking to the someone's making money off of this part, another part from the article is that the legislation would require the attorney general to basically carry out a study that shows exactly how much this costs and how much people who run the prison industrial complex are making off of each person off of cannabis, cannabis convictions, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:57 the financial costs for states that incarcerate people for these things. It's like, you know, it's unclear how much it's costing you know the public to help keep people in jail for buying an eighth and it's like this you know it's really it's you know it's ridiculous and i'm glad that this is being pushed forward however i will say the fact that it is being reintroduced suggests that it's not past the first time this is obviously another effort to get people to you know to to to massage into the situation of we need to be more clear and transparent about how expungement works what it costs to even keep these people in jail for this nonsense and while it may not be a step towards or may well it may not be federal legalization
Starting point is 00:33:41 it is at least a step towards increasing the public sentiment towards like, how would you like to not pay this much more money to keep people in jail for literally nothing? So it's like, you know, hopefully it's a movement on the needle, at least a little bit. Yeah, I would say like, I'm being adjacent to this and that I microdose shrooms and I feel like we're behind. Like I still hear stories of people being arrested at airports for having their shrooms and I use them for depression, which heavily recommend and I've talked about extensively. But like it scares me the idea that I might be filming in a different location where they're illegal and that I wouldn't be able to carry them with me when it's something that I rely on for my mental health. Totally. So it just feels like we're still lagging in so many of these states and situations.
Starting point is 00:34:30 And I want to say this kind of reminds me, this website kind of reminds me of what I wish they would do with our taxes. It's just obviously someone makes money off of that too. We just had, you know, tax season. Some people are still in the thick of it and like it's insane to me that i'm like you literally know how much i owe like just tell me and i will pay it send me the bill but they obviously make money industry yeah there's an entire industry how difficult and convoluted and then when you don't pay they they or they you don't pay the right amount they tell you hey actually you owe this much it's like thank you thank you for telling me because oh so you knew you were just giving us busy work that's what that's what i feel like i keep running up to running up against is they're giving us busy work like to keep us busy to and then they're like no this was actually the answer thanks for showing your work
Starting point is 00:35:18 on that now you didn't get it right jail yeah yeah Yeah, and it's just instructive that it's been legalized in many places to sell it, but we can't get this HOPE Act passed or can't get any traction for it because selling it makes people money, but getting people out of prison doesn't make people money. And in fact, having people in prison makes prison industrial complex billionaires richer. I think really quickly back to Danny's point, I think it also just begs the question in terms of how far are we behind on the positive effects of other things that we consider to be like narcotics or bad drugs, etc.
Starting point is 00:36:02 When it's like just being able to do research on these things, and, you know, provide solutions for people who really need them, I understand we're facing we are, you know, reaching a similar point with ketamine, and how ketamine is also like, you know, in certain doses is super helpful for people suffering from all sorts of different, you know, different things in their lives. And it's just, you know, it's it is continually disappointing how we are trying to push things that could ultimately help people. And it gets hampered up by moneymaking when, when in fact, when in fact, if we were to pursue these things as an industry, they themselves
Starting point is 00:36:35 would also make a lot of money. It's just maybe to take a little bit of time to do a little R and D to see how maybe microdosing mushrooms is actually super duper helpful. And that's a whole nother industry that you could just create out of that. And yet it's like, no, we have to live with these archaic ideas of how these drugs are bad. It's just, it's silly. It is very silly. That's wild to me because it's, I mean, same thing we talk about weed, but literally of the earth. It's just so, it's insane to me that we have regulated or made it illegal things that you can literally grow. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:05 But I do want to say I have done clinical ketamine. I did it at a doctor's office. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's like that. That is one that there is. Here in L.A. you can do that. Not a lot of other places. Sure, sure. There. Yeah. That ketamine is one where there has been a lot of progress made and like you can do it in a clinical setting. But also there's still a bunch of restrictions around it and it's not as, you know, up and up and like easy. And therefore it makes it more likely that people will use it in ways that are not as beneficial. So like just going strong in the direction of research and finding healthy
Starting point is 00:37:48 contexts where people can actually use this. Like MDMA, I think is the next one that is really getting a lot of attention in the research community, but very slow. I've been doing a lot of personal research on that at all the outbreaks I go to. And let me tell you something, the euphoria is unmatched. And I don't know, I think everybody else should, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:12 take a page out of that and experience it. But like it's being described as like a wonder drug when it comes to PTSD. Oh, it was a wonder, all right. But like actually doing, taking it and then having a conversation with a trained therapist. Yeah. Like you're just like breaking down all these barriers and getting to things that usually without the therapeutic use of MDMA like are pretty hard to get to.
Starting point is 00:38:37 I just forget like how different our jobs in world are from the rest of the world. Because when I would take shrooms and then go to my writer's room and then my showrunner was like, Oh, I want to know what shrooms you're taking. So then she started taking them and got her family, like her mom and dad to start taking them. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:38:53 in any other setting, we would be drug tested and I would be fired, you know, but we're in a creative industry where they're like, Oh, that helps your brain. Like I want some of that where it's not seen. I remember this MTV show I worked on. This was want some of that, um, where it's not seen. I remember this MTV show
Starting point is 00:39:05 I worked on, this was before weed was like completely legal, but that our showrunners had like a big bong and would smoke like during lunch. And I'm just like, this is such a different world than Frisco, Texas, where I came from, where I, you know, went to high school and, and we, and people are being like drug tested for these things that actually do really help folks with their depression, with their attention. What I was going to say is shrooms, opposite of what we started talking about today with weed, for me it's an upper. And I don't have any, I don't come down, I guess is what I would say. I can take it and then write is what I meant.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Whereas normally with most edibles, I just want to go to sleep. Yeah. But those are also the strains I know that I'm doing. I don't need education on it for anyone that wants to leave the mentions alone. Everybody. Yeah. Actually, Danny,
Starting point is 00:39:57 some information that I think you might find useful on this subject. All right. Newsmax and OAN are avoiding this. It's basically like a lot of people are saying it's weird because this fox settlement is arguably the biggest media story of the year it's a lot of money 787.5 million dollars that they had to settle i don't know if it's going to bankrupt them but it's it hurts we got a bunch of great leaks from the lawsuit. I wish we would have been able to see it in public court. But again, this is the problem with counting on the U.S. justice system or corporations to fight our battles for us. some interesting details like that tucker carlson doesn't believe any of the shit he's saying like we have him in text messages saying like this is all bullshit and trump is a disaster for him and the republican party so that there's also two other pending lawsuits with dominion suing oan
Starting point is 00:40:58 and newsmax as well as patrick burn the former overstock CEO, who appeared on OAN as an expert and spread misinformation about Dominion in the 2020 election. And so they are not reporting on this Fox News settlement. One spokesperson for, I think it was OAN, came out very confidently and was like, Newsmax issued a confident statement claiming that the case against them is materially different than the one involving Fox. But the only difference seems to be that they kept going like Fox kind of backed off of it after a little while once they got sued. And Newsmax and OAN were just like strong and wrong the whole time on claiming that the 2020 election was stolen so we'll be interested they seem like actual actually in danger of being put out of business with a similar size settlement so be interesting to see yeah you won't hear about it anywhere on newsmax or oam no no it's just you know i feel like in general settlements are always a little, you know, I feel like you shouldn't just be allowed to swipe it under the rug for however much money. I want every detail
Starting point is 00:42:33 to come out about why they settled. I want every single detail to be known to everybody so that they have to stand by what they settled for and why. And I'm sure that there's a way that you can personally seek that out. But there has to be a widely public... I mean, this almost sounds like... I don't know. I don't want this to be further applied to things like witch trials or some shit like that, where it's like, well, they were convicted of this and they settled. So now we're going on a witch hunt.
Starting point is 00:42:59 But it's just like when you affect an entire nation's worth of people with your lies, you have to be held to task and just paying 700 million dollars, which is, of course, a lot of money. I don't think that's enough. Like, I want to know. Definitely not. Yeah, definitely. That's just unfair. It should have hurt more.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I mean, they paid that amount because it was worth it to them for this not to happen in a public venue. Oh, my God. Yes. Yeah. So which is bullshit. Yeah, it is bullshit. amount because it was worth it to them yes for this not to happen in a public venue oh my god yes yeah so which is bullshit yeah it is bullshit it will be interesting to see if we can get news max and oan and just out of existence sued out of existence that'd be sick yeah i was gonna say speaking of settlements i sent my friend this article from gawker because they had a blind item on a beloved um actor which i'll talk to you guys afterwards. And my friend was like, Gawker's still around? Didn't realize that they still were around.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Well, they went, I think they went out like a couple months back. They're back again? Oh, but no, I was referring to their thing with Hulk Hogan, right? That's how they went under. Yes. But they're still reporting. I think they went out of business at the end of January, unfortunately. Oh, so that literally was one of the last. Yeah, one of the last stories.
Starting point is 00:44:21 One of the last stories one of the last stories unfortunately because they had some great people and uh working there including you know one of the hosts of stradio lab and just it i i thought it was so good and it was also just satisfying for them not to be out of business because for sure they were put out of business by a billionaire activist racist yeah person who uses teenagers as blood bags allegedly so are we still talking about hulk no i'm talking about peter teal oh i'm sorry i used the hulk hogan thing to get them put out of business but you are you are obviously have it's your job to pay attention to the news so i only knew parts of that and the only parts i know are hulk hogan is racist and he like sued them that's all i know bam that's all right but you're not allowed to
Starting point is 00:45:12 tell people i'm racist brother yeah oh also his never mind let's continue let's not talk about hulk hogan anymore i i kind of need to hear what you want. Oh, I was just gonna say, Roy Wood Jr., who I love and adore. He has a really great Yeah, shout out Roy. He has a really great it's up on Comedy Central's website. It's part of his stand up special where he was saying, like, y'all give trans people such a hard time when Hulk Hogan's name is Terry. Like, he's a guy from Tampa named Terry. And y'all have no problem funny and he was like do you think ice cube is really ice cubes name and it's like so think of that next maybe it's that's just what they want to be called yeah because i think of that next time y'all are giving trans people a
Starting point is 00:45:57 hard time so shout out to roy for you know. Terry's my dead name, brother. Terry. Terry! Okay. I mean, from... It's like, you know, people do amazing things when they, like, are forced, like, by circumstance or, like, have a really tough upbringing. And, like, he came up with one of the best fictional names of all time from the difficult circumstance of growing up being named Terry. He's like that was his was in his lab in the lab as a kid dreaming of other things that his name could be other than Terry. And he hit on a good one.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Hulk Hogan. I think that was maybe not his invention, but oh, well, there's some marketing team that's like, what do you mean? He came up with it. I also found out that John Cena was Big Tim. What? I just found out today. Yeah, that he went by Big Tim. Oh, I figured that was his birth name.
Starting point is 00:46:57 No one's going to believe this. How about John Cena? Oh, yeah. No, that's better. That's better than Big Tim. Much better. Big Tim. That's better than Big Tim Big Tim that's awesome that's funny all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back I'm Jess Casavetto executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil the 7M TikTok cult.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 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 00:49:33 I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros,
Starting point is 00:49:45 Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding
Starting point is 00:50:01 these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now so big and permanent that a coastal ecosystem is thriving on it, according to scientists.
Starting point is 00:50:38 This is one of those interesting news stories that I feel like I wanted to click on it, like hope with a hopeful note in my heart of like, ah, you know, Dr. Ian Malcolm was right. Life will find a way. And then you get to, and I mean,
Starting point is 00:50:58 there, there are a bunch of different animals and sea anemones and stuff living on the garbage patch, connecting themselves to different pieces of floating plastic but it's not good it's still really bad yeah the i actually got a bunch of new information about the pacific garbage patch that i wasn't fully aware of like that it's it's mostly like a soupy micro plastic pool at this point that's mostly what you see it's not the floating landfill that i think i had been imagining in my head we had eight million tons a year of plastics to it the majority of it comes from the fishing industry
Starting point is 00:51:43 this was one that kind of blew my mind is that the majority of the plastic in this texas two two times the size of texas garbage gyre comes from one industry like it's it's not us like it's not it's not your straws and like and it's great to like be conscientious and recycle your plastic. Sure. Or just don't use plastics. That's all great. But I think the way that this story got down, trickles down to me, is that because of all the plastic bottles you use, every plastic bottle you used has ended up in the middle of the Pacific on this floating island. And it's actually one industry.
Starting point is 00:52:27 The fishing industry is responsible for at least one Texas of the entire garbage patch. And just nobody does. That is something you can do something about. That's an industry that you can regulate yeah in a world where the u.s government actually regulated corporation well i was gonna being from texas i love whenever we're used as a size of measurement i think that should be congratulations it's the size of three texases yes that should which i think would be the size of the united states yeah pretty much we're three different tex. That makes a lot of sense to me.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Also, I just, I don't know. I kind of disagree slightly in that this is a product of us because yes, it is the fishing industry, but we are the consumers of that. It's the same with when we're talking about methane with cows, like that's, that's a direct correlation to the amount of meat that we're consuming hey danny those aren't my farm so i am blameless okay those cows are no i totally agree with that but it just it's also the fault of like it just feels more addressable when you realize it's a one specific industry basically what i'm saying is vegans are like not us again not us uh which i'm not vegan so but so i take i take part responsibility but i just feel vegans are always like no we're not contributing right except for with almonds i'm
Starting point is 00:53:58 paying attention y'all i've been that whole story about how almonds are like destroying the world i'm like okay so everything we do. Yeah, there's always horrifying stories of the microplastics in people's blood. Yeah. Yeah. Not from my Stanley Cup, though. Not from your Stanley Cup. Stainless steel.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Stanley Cup doesn't end up in the Pacific garbage dryer. Yeah. Indestructible. Indestructible. It will be here long after humanity. That should be their marketing pitch. We'll outlive you. We'll outlive you.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Yes. All right. And then finally, a baseball story that's not a baseball story, but it is something I'm seeing pop up. It's always interesting when people start sharing baseball news and you're like, oh, you're a baseball fan interesting but they introduced new rules this season with the goal of speeding up the game the most impactful is a pitch clock so pitchers only have 15 to 20 seconds to throw the ball after
Starting point is 00:55:00 catching it right uh it has like cut an entire hour out of the game run time. So it's working. But the big concern that people had, this being America, and the only important thing being how we sell things, is how much beer are people going to be able to sell now? Because most teams stop selling beer after the seventh inning because they don't want people driving home like freshly drunk. They want them driving home like still drunk, but with kind of a hangover, I guess like three three innings is not enough guys to no longer be drunk. I'm assuming so that people are saying that it actually isn't cutting down
Starting point is 00:55:47 on the sale of beer somehow. Damn. People are chugging it. I mean, people are chugging it. They're getting it in. I think baseball, more than maybe any other sport, is about the experience of going and being in an interesting looking place and getting drunk with your fellow humans that i want to get out the game i want to get into baseball i've never been into baseball i don't understand it and i'm really jealous of not like the game i obviously understand the concept i used to play softball when i was younger and i hated it um And I really want, I just, I want to be a baseball person. Y'all seem like you're having fun. You got your peanuts and your hot dog and your beer and you're out there and you're
Starting point is 00:56:32 baking in the sun and you're watching like one thing happen every five to six minutes. And I'm jealous. It reminds me of golf. So I'm like, I want to be, I'm going to force myself to get into it because I want to be, it's like a baseball culture here in LA is huge. It is huge. Yeah. Go Doyers.
Starting point is 00:56:52 It is fun. I mean, I think, you know, there's a certain recreation about baseball that I don't think you necessarily get with other sports where, you know, I think, as you mentioned, like sitting outside baking in the sun, that is unique. That is unique to baseball. It's so much more just hanging out and chilling with your friends. You grab some food and just kind of chill and enjoy this awesome experience. And then if the game is really close, the last half hour of it is the most exciting part.
Starting point is 00:57:19 It's so much fun. You get to chill for a little bit. Then you're full of beer and hot dogs and you just get to go wild for a big home run. So it's just, I don't know. I completely agree. Great recreational experience, baseball. Yeah. But so the upshot of this is that they are turning this into an opportunity to sell even more beer because they sales with this shortened game, which actually isn't backed up by like,
Starting point is 00:57:47 they did a bunch of test runs in minor league baseball stadiums. And the managers of those games found that concession sales were not affected at all by the shortened games, but they are arguing to extend the last call beyond the seventh inning. So conceivably it will just mean selling even more beer under the guise of maintaining the status quo which is pretty diabolical i got a question impressed i got a question yeah so isn't the idea of stopping selling beer at a certain point is that people aren't getting drunker at the very end of the game so that they're not leaving drunk right yes but
Starting point is 00:58:28 they're not driving away from the stadium drunk so despite the fact that the game is shorter and you have quote-unquote less time to sell beer extending the time to sell beer seems to exacerbate the problem of people leaving the stadium drunk right oh sure yeah they've just chosen that problem as opposed to the problem of making less money they're like well you're gonna have trouble tracing it back to any individual one of us and we make more money so okay well there you go okay sounds good surely this surely this will not go wrong at all. Yeah. I need the narrator voice here in two weeks.
Starting point is 00:59:08 It did. It did. It did. All right. And finally, there's a scene from a Netflix show that is going viral. The show is called Obsession. It's about a hotshot surgeon who becomes obsessed with his 20-something son's mysterious girlfriend, hotshot surgeon who becomes obsessed with his 20-something son's mysterious girlfriend come fiancee anna or anna and follows them to france and when the couple go out for dinner this brilliant surgeon breaks into their hotel room smells anna on the linens and proceeds to
Starting point is 00:59:39 hump the pillow and that is the scene that is getting people. I'm looking at the photos and I'm enjoying it. It looks like Jon Stewart is. That's what the photos look like to me. I haven't watched the live action, but. So this is, but also his son's scent would be on it too, right?
Starting point is 01:00:00 Is that what we're saying? It was his son and his daughter-in-law were staying in this bed. Yeah. Yeah. See, that's where, okay. My my brain immediately went there but it's really creepy it's not a thing that i i guess i've i guess it kind of comes up in the movie in the bedroom but the idea of like dad with son who he's like real into the sun, like getting laid. Like this is just the most specifically I've seen that where the dad is.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Maybe there was like a Nora Ephron movie that was also about this, but it's a lot. They really went for it. There's a TikTok here that says, obsession scenes to skip if watching with your parents. I want to be like,
Starting point is 01:00:44 it wouldn't be the whole thing. Why would you watch this series with your parents? Yeah. The whole thing. It's just the credits running. It's going to be a good watch. Exactly. Maybe you think that your dad is like too into your fiance. And so you like sit him down and watch this. And be like, this is you. This is you this is man i was gonna say is it things to not watch with your parents or ways to find out your parents are into some freaky shit oh right neither are for me for that is this like number one on there is it like everyone watching this right now is this like number one on netflix or something i don't know one of our producers i'm not gonna say who was like oh my god, I just watched this.
Starting point is 01:01:25 We have it going viral, and we also have confirmation from inside the Zeitgang that this is being watched. I guess that was a service that was being provided by Netflix UK. They were like, if you've made the
Starting point is 01:01:42 parentheses questionable decision to watch Obs obsession with your parents these are the moments you'll probably want to excuse yourself which is kind of brilliant marketing because then those are the moments that people are just going to rush to right and mean so they've like done the work for viewers which is probably pretty smart this is like what what are the other netflix i mean i guess 365 days was like a netflix movie that kind of went viral i don't know if there were like very specific moments from that there was the the guy with the enormous dick scene from a netflix show that went viral do you remember that no it was like it was like a guy was jealous of his husband or his wife's ex.
