when was the last time you had food poisoning jack
i don't know was it recent no i'm not fucking asking you like i've got the fucking quiz results
yeah jack go ahead when was it seems like a lot of food poisoning happening in that household
interesting but you've never had it wow i guess everyone else is unlucky in that house, huh? I think the night that my wife and I got engaged, I rented a limo and the champagne glasses
in the limo were dirty because I didn't get a good limo.
Oh, I didn't.
And so I drank out of those.
And then I rented a hotel for us for a couple days and spent the entire
two days in that hotel just in bed yeah mine last one was a firehouse subs firehouse sub it was like
a chicken and mushroom it was the mushroom on the sandwich i know it had to have been because like i
was like no they're they're kind of flavorful today. The mushrooms have like a bite to them.
Yeah.
They don't usually have.
What are these pickled mushrooms?
They're fizzy.
I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series,
Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.
And I'm Clea Gray, former member
of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have
Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films
and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades.
Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control
groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted,
just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new,
chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary
perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital
revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive

I'm Keri Champion,
and this is season four of Naked Sports,
where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.
Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark vs. Angel Reese.
I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.
Every great player needs a foil.
I ain't really near them 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?
This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.
This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

Hello, the internet,
and welcome to this Mondayay morning trends edition of
it's the production of iheart radio it's monday may 13th monday the 13th remember remember um
i don't know it's making sense it's monday morning remember the 13th of may
remember
remember
yeah for sure
remember the 13th of may remember
remember that
oh man do we do the day
we don't usually say what day it is i don't think
do we well we just did so no no like what day it is i don't think do we well well we just did
so no no like what national just so you know it's national decency day whatever that is
yeah yeah yeah butterville biscuits just to let you guys know because uh we've been hearing stories
yeah people not keeping decent and also national dance like a chicken day yay oh my god that's so fun all right uh i'm jack
that's miles yes this is the episode where we tell you what was trending over the weekend was
trending this monday morning uh first we tell you what is going on in our lives by telling you
something we think is overrated something we think is underrated um there's a stomach bug blowing through our uh our house
so my shit is uh um i i'm not sick currently when you said my shit is uh i'm like are we
talking literally here yeah no no no my shit my shit is fine everybody thank you thank you for
your concern um but yeah you know mixed with stomach
stomach bug a lot of a lot of plates spinning uh over the weekend i hear that i hear that you have
a good do you have a good mother's day or yeah we went to uh we went to um this like restaurant
that's like a garden uh her majesty was like i'd ideally it would feel like a picnic but it's a it's a restaurant
and luckily there was like a place uh nearby in maryland that fit that bill so we were there
nice yeah we usually do picnics this time we just did a little brunch um but yeah picnics are the
best mother's day picnics yeah um there's something about i just love just like the age from as a kid the idea of
like the the cooler that had everything you needed inside of it always appealed to me i was like
and everything we need it's in there drinks food napkins everything it's all in this one little cube
sopping wet napkins in my case because i suck at packing those things gotta use a ziploc man yeah all right uh should
we tell people what we think is overrated yeah we start with overrated yeah um so i'm gonna take you
back to the meat packing district the segment of the podcast where i complain about meat packaging
for some reason what i used to call my dorm room all right bro hey come on um all right so i've
already spent time on the monday morning trending episode talking about bacon packaging sure being
subpar uh we learned that the fanned out shingle packaging was there to show off like the pink side and hide the fat and that's why it exists
the way it exists and okay
my complaint is it was
that it like doesn't doesn't like fold
back it's like there there's very little of it
that's like resealable it's just once
you open your floppy mess
um hot dogs
uh
had similar
thoughts about hot dogs this weekend just like i don't know they have no excuse for
needing to come in that like one-sided very similar packaging to the bacon um no nobody
needs to see what a hot dog looks like um there's no like good side of a hot dog that needs to be
shown off like oh yeah we you want to see this bad boy oh you know i was thinking
about pulling the trigger on those hebrew nationals i just yeah just don't know what they look like
a lot of times they're like kind of graying like i don't know
this might explain the stomach bug that's blown through our household
so you had gray hot dogs anyway well we can agree we'll get into that later but i don't know a lot of the hot dog packs are similarly
packaged in like you know it's like an airtight plastic package but like once you open it
it does not hold its integrity yeah and like you have to do like put a fucking rubber band around
it or you know like there there's just no there were
oscar myers like resealable hot dog packages for a while but those have gone away so the cheese
dogs came in i remember they were resealable yeah but now we're just back to like cut into it and
then i don't know that there's a wound in your hot dog packaging now there's yeah i think there's
probably something
where like if it was resealable it would last longer therefore you wouldn't have to cook them
all and then necessitate the need to repurchase more hot dogs yeah yeah that feels like the
cynical version of it to me but yeah i just i that's why i had like whenever i just have like
a i always put it in tupperware just boom that's sealed fine or a ziploc bag speaking of ziploc bags yeah sure but
i don't know big issue is that they like it's similar to like a lot of cold cuts and things
like that but at least cold cuts will start to like smell bad after you've opened them because
you know an indication of where you're at yeah give you an like i i need to know whereas hot dogs because
they are comprised of 98 preservatives with like some meat mixed in you've got a poorly packaged
meat that will resist all the telltale signs of being bad just like sitting in a wet like pouch
that's been open to the elements and i just i don't think it's the best thing
for us um for the way you're talking i think it can be beat the way you're talking it sounds like
you in a panic you made hot dogs for mother's day that got everybody sick and now you're focusing
all that frustration about that failed mother's name like and it's the packaging you know me
you don't even know when they're bad
because it's mostly preservatives and nobody knows.
Next thing you know, everybody's on the toilet in your house
and you're the bad guy. You're just trying to make a memorable mother's day.
That's right.
I mean, there were baked beans too.
So don't make it seem like it was just
hot dogs. I did some canned baked beans.
I tried to pass them off as chili
dogs. Nobody
was buying that.
Yeah.
You were feverishly texting me and Anna asking if you can cook beans with just a lighter underneath the can.
Yeah.
Things are rough.
Yeah.
We were both like, hey man, can this wait till Monday?
You got any alternatives?
If the plastic vacuum sealed, you know, temporary bag is not good.
Where do we need to go with this
i'm wondering if craft singles packaging like some sort of like individually wrapped
would that that way you can like use the born on date or could you buy them loose too like if we're
doing are they like lucy's or you're like hey man let me go to the store and just grab three hot
dogs well like i think this is how string cheese comes right like string cheese already comes
in a bigger package that each thing is individually packaged yeah with like 36
sticks not great for plastic waste uh let's just say that they'll be uh recyclable or something or
like in the um old-timey depictions where like theyters are always on a continuous sort of wrapped vine.
String? Yeah, exactly.
Like a wrapped...
Yeah, just a string of...
a vine of
frankfurters. That's fun.
And each one is wrapped up.
In the old ways.
Yeah. Then you can eat them like a cartoon
wolf, just like...
Yeah, and swing them around like a prop.
Like a feather boa. We've seen it all.
Or tennis ball style.
Just stack one on top of each other
so they're incredibly long.
That's a bad idea, actually.
Wow, that's very
like can tower
frat party style.
Just keep taping them end to end, man.
Who's got a 15 foot
fucking scepter of hot dogs? Anyways, that's frat party style. Keep taping them end to end, man. Who's got a 15-foot fucking
scepter of hot dogs?
Anyways, that's
this edition of the Meatpacking
District.
Hell yeah.
Just follow the sounds
of the Boondock Saints soundtrack
straight to the Meatpacking District.
My
overrated is my
own supposed ego derived sense of my knowledge about star wars and the movies
themselves i i like star wars i was a big fan of you know like all of the movies like because by
the time episode or phantom menace came out i was like 13 14 oh yeah ripe age to not like totally
comprehend how bad it wasn't like all right yeah this is the
first one i'm alive for so i guess i will have to treat it with respect how long did you go
without like realizing it was bad by the time episode two came out i was like this is fucked up
yeah this whole thing i'm like this is a joke like this is nothing it just doesn't feel as
sacred or whatever anyway so i became a neck
beard at 14 and like like i said i like i had technical journals like i knew a lot of like
lore story stuff like the vehicles and technologies but then i got hit with this piece of trivia on
the internet and it completely fucked my head so in the phantom menace you know they're all these
like handmaids that are with Queen Amidala,
you know, Padme slash Natalie Portman.
I knew that Sofia Coppola
was one of those people because they're always like these
articles about like celebrities who had like snuck
into Star Wars homes. But Kira
Knightley was also one of the
handmaids in the Phantom Menace.
I had no fucking clue and someone posted
this image of them. It's
there. It's true.
And I was shocked because this is like years before Bend It like Beckham too.
So this was kind of like a pre-fame nightly thing.
Yeah, so I don't know.
That was just me being like, huh, fuck yeah.
I guess I don't know all the cool fucking bar trivia about Star Wars.
And then I went back to sleep.
I didn't lose too much sleep over it.
It was
shocking. Unlike my hot dog packaging, you can see
the poster board
with the red string behind me
all dedicated to the hot dog
packaging. Oh yeah. And me
trying to tell Her Majesty, hey, did you know
Keira Knightley was in the Phantom Menace?
Shut the fuck up.
It's three in the morning.
Are you awake? Are you awake? you awake okay well who do you think this is a picture of it's not natalie portman from phantom menace that's karen knightley in the makeup oh man i've been spending a lot of
time with the the prequels lately against my will and uh yeah i just saw the third movie for the first time actually i had because i
was so out like i i had a very similar trajectory i was like phantom menace was actually like i
enjoyed it and the second one opens with like a cool sequence and i was like damn we're here we
are and now we're but then it gets uh it turns into the worst maybe star wars movie of all time with a lot of love story
that is laugh out loud uh the third one though you know it's not a little terrible you know yeah
like it it reminded me of dune 2 and then you're like okay i see why you made those first two now like the it was building to something we had
to get here uh that wasn't the best way to do it but um but here we are here we are yeah um
my son's knowledge of star wars is all like in universe like he's a smart person in the star
wars universe so he would have no idea he'd be like like, what do you mean, Keira Knightley?
No, that's just one of the handmaids.
He's like, why is that surprising to you
that this is the group she traveled with?
Yeah, of course.
You should know the structure of the Royal Court of Naboo.
It's also, there's another eventually very famous actor,
Joel Egerton, is that his name?
The guy who plays Uncle Owen owen or whoever like luke
yeah yeah gets left with um it's just every time there's like a character or like an actor who
appears in like a tiny role like five years before they then become huge right i always feel like oh
hollywood like just knows who's gonna be famous
you know like there's just this thing where they're like yeah we have it mapped out so
in four years this is going to be the person who you are all gonna know about and there there's
nothing you can really do i bet you there's there's a lot of a lot of actors that would
disagree it's like oh yeah? Where's my Marvel movie?
I was Benjamin Bratt's right hand
in some of those Star Wars movies.
They forgot about me.
Literally his right hand, just on insert shots.
That's my face.
Look at his thumbnail.
That's my face.
That's my face.
All right.
Underrated.
I have the jerk off hand motion. Underrated. Wanking the jerk-off hand motion as underrated.
The wanking, as they say.
The wanking, yeah.
So, I don't know. I got into
a conversation about hand gestures with a
friend. He described someone
using the blowjob motion in a dismissive
way, which I said I'd
never witnessed and
would actually have to...
I don't think that's what the blowjob motion
is for wait what do you mean
to be like you know them they're being like
yeah yeah
I just did it for you but it's like
you have to like kind of make the face you would make
while doing the jerk off hand motion while
pretending to suck a dick but
you know interest rates aren't high
right now
what?
it's not a very versatile like i feel like any use of the blowjob hand motion has to be implying something about a
blowjob because it's also like such a dramatic thing to do with your hand and yeah because even
if it's like you're saying someone's like sucking up like it's not even the most effective thing right you know i mean to demonstrate and sometimes people like
get way too into it and it's like oh i don't know it did make me appreciate the because then i was
like well i think they should have used the jerk off hand motion and then just made me appreciate the utility and sheer dismissiveness of the jerk
off hand motion like when done right again it can be done too realistically with too much feeling
and you're like oh yeah yeah yeah but you know i just like that in this conversation this person
did the blowjob motion and then you
just went into your own head just extolling the virtues i in my now now i appreciate that
they're like jack jack jack come back to us uh what yeah look out you're driving
dr o'brien dr o'Brien, we're losing the patient. Beep, beep. Oh my god. That's right.
I'm a surgeon.
I don't know.
In terms of if you want to
dismiss something someone is saying,
I don't think it can be topped
with the possible exception of
turning your thumb and hand into a bottle
to be like, this person's shit face.
Which is also underrated.
Or doing the old like
loopy finger like this person's cuckoo.
But that one just feels very like
that one I feel like stopped in 95
being useful.
Yeah I think it stops like when you
hit double digits in age.
Yeah yeah yeah.
You know. The booze one is pretty
fuck. That one's also pretty good.
It is right.
Okay.
Like, they're drunk.
Yeah.
But I'm sure this is, like, different preferences,
but, like, for my money...
Yeah.
You know, it's definitely emotion.
Yeah.
Like, done to the side,
so it doesn't imply you're actually jerking off, you know?
It looks like you're jerking off someone
very much taller than you by your
shoulder.
Yeah,
exactly.
Um,
but it does take a certain,
like my wife is not great at doing it.
Um,
she gets like,
I think too excited,
does it like too fast and then sort of like throws the gesture at me.
Like click,
clack and dice real.
Yeah.
It's like too far out in front of her I think.
Yeah.
It's out of control.
It's out of control.
What's happening?
Call the fire brigade.
Yeah.
I don't know. I think in a loose ranking it's up there with like the middle finger for me.
Yeah.
For sure. Yeah. For sure. Well allow me to reveal my underrated. I think in a loose ranking it's up there with like The middle finger for me Yeah for sure
Well allow me to reveal my underrated
The District of Columbia
Washington
Washington D.C.
Washington D.C. that's what that stands for?
Yep exactly it wasn't because
They're big A.C.D.C. fans out here
It was Washington D.C.
I thought it was like named in the early 90's
Yeah no that was cool it isn't it isn't the city one not the state one not to say one the city uh but yeah the
more i come here the more i appreciate it as a city i mean obviously not as like the spooky seat
of government which is also wild to think it's like some of the world's worst decisions are being made mere blocks away from me right now right um but i mean like you know who needs representation in
congress when you get free museums you know these museums the smithsonian baby yes baby wow yes yes
it's walkable there's solid public transport there's bike lanes there's parks there's
a high chance you can offend a random person on the street by saying the government fucking sucks
it just has all these really cool little things even zeitgang hollered at me on the street
it's a utopia it's a utopia all that to say is thank you for the person who who really made my
day who was walked past me and then said love the show miles and i was like oh shit thank you i could not even face my uh the
fellow zeitgang but yeah i think but for me too like growing up on the west coast a lot of us
sort of view dc as sort of like this historical field trip city it's like well yeah you go to dc
to like see all this like sort of historically significant stuff as it relates to the united states government yeah but there's so much more like just
it's so culturally diverse it has such a rich history on so many levels black history and
there's just i yeah i think it's great i think it's great and uh but the the recreational cannabis
is overpriced i gotta say but i get it oh really if you have if you have
if you have a prescription it's different but like here they have this thing initiative 71 i think
it's called where basically it's sort of like how stuff was in the early days of uh like collectives
and dispensaries in california where they're like we can't transact for money for cannabis but if
you buy this digital art piece we can give you the cannabis as a gift for that and you're
like oh weird just make with the just make with the weed we don't need to do the charade art piece
interesting that to me was like the best thing i'd heard because it's like yeah do you want this like
bucket hat that you won't wear yeah i'm like you know what you don't even need my email but thank
you uh i will make my leave. I would be a little nervous
about that. That they're
asking for personal information when
buying weed. Does everything
smell like weed? I haven't been there since...
Is it like
California?
I think anywhere that relaxes their
shit on weed, people are going to smoke weed.
I don't say that as a Fox News
contributor. It's like, it just smells like marijuana everywhere no i think it's good like it
makes me calmer to like smell it's like yeah everybody's hey people are chilling man people
people are good out here your favorite place in dc jack because i was asking you as someone who
went to school here i was like dude what about you man where do you gotta go when you come out to dc and you're like ah i got been so long it's been so long so long did you have a your like engagement party
out here or something or did you propose out here we got married there but oh you got married and
did all that stuff in new york got it got it got where'd you get married if i so i can go check
the melon auditorium okay i'm gonna go by there.
We got married on Georgetown's campus,
like at the little chapel there.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, Mellon Auditorium.
All right.
Big wedding, people flying in from Korea.
It was wild.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
Sounded like a real Kristi Noem type occasion.
The dignitaries from Korea.
And I said to them,
you should have seen what I said to them when they came.
You should have seen what I said to them.
Spare me with your gifts.
Just pick a new leader.
What?
That's right.
All right.

And we're back.
We're back.
And there's a video going around of John McEntee.
Is that how you pronounce that?
Yeah, McEntee.
McEntee.
Just big frat boy energy.
Failed high school quarterback energy.
Because he was a high school quarterback, though.
Let's not dismiss that.
He's a failed high school quarterback, too.
Respect to that man.
So he was a member of the Trump administration,
got escorted out and
fired because of financial
crimes, but obviously doing
financial crimes will not
you know, Trump
will only be
impressed by that. So he was
eventually rehired and is now
helping head up
Project 2025. Yeah.
He also started The Right Stuff the maga tinder app that
there are currently there's a darth of uh women that are willing to go on there and subject
themselves to the the social platform that that stresses profiles without all of women yeah just
just a dark of all of them uh dearth of them and i like but darth though too uh but also
saying that uh you know they they it's profiles without the pronouns obviously and on his tiktok
he just he posts all kinds of just dumb like weird liberal gotcha videos that just don't make sense
but this latest one is really doing numbers for how just fucking depraved it is.
This is Johnny McEntee with his tips
on how to hook the unhoused people up around in your city.
So I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car.
So when a homeless person asks for money,
then I give them my fake $5 bill.
So I feel good about myself.
They feel good.
And then when they go to use it
they get arrested so i'm actually like helping clean up the community you know getting them off
the street wow yep so everyone's like what first of all that's illegal um but also sure the this
all makes sense to somebody who is like yeah and that's how i that's how i clean up the streets uh i think
later i don't know if he initially claimed it as a joke but he definitely has the video
caption now on one of his other platforms says it's a joke calm down i don't guess just because
i had this very realistic looking prop money in my car that i said i give out to people through
my car window doesn't mean i actually do that now that someone pointed
out that that could be felonious activity but anyway right it's a big joke it's a big joke
jk man yeah yeah the criminal defense that only works for guys who look like him i was joking
oh my god what are you talking about you think i actually poison m actually poison McDonald's food and then pass it out to people?
I would never do anything like that.
That was just some joke poison I had in my car.
Seems like a nice guy.
All right.
We'll let him have it.
But again, this guy,
he started as Trump's body man.
And then, like you said,
he was under investigation
for serious financial crimes.
I think he bragged a few years ago
that he's also managed to like master the art of uh
forging donald trump's signature um and instrumental in the election denial trying to get
pence to do the deed on january 6th and yeah now project 2025 so he's really he's just fallen his
way upward towards the sky yeah just crime in his way forward he also has a name that like this
is the first time that he has existed as a person in my brain because right it's just you know that
name in a list of other co-conspirators is pretty right right it's like i don't know it sounds american irish guy name yeah johnny mcinty uh ryan odor house yep mm-hmm yep
definitely odor ode calm yeah well speaking of yeah trump had a rally in jersey um lied about
the crowd saw yeah you're going to the wildwood we're gonna do mega rally you've been um you've been lied about
crowd size insulted springsteen um and i don't know some people like that there's been some
news stories that are like guys he's this was the most unhinged one yet we need to he was shouting
out annabelle lector he did shout out annabelle lector said he was dearly departed like r.i.p
rest in peace great guy but just yeah i mean seemed about as unhinged as as ever well right
yeah i mean he he was claiming there was almost a hundred thousand people i think the day before
then today he's like there was over a hundred thousand people like a spokesperson for wildwood new jersey was like yeah there's probably between i don't know
80 and 100 000 people but many like non-trumpy observers said it was not even close to that
number and like most people left because he was ranting 90 straight fucking minutes yeah and not
even these people were like yeah i want i'm just gonna play this clip i don't
even know what he's talking about i'm also i'm all it's like so bad i'm a bit dubious if this is the
actual audio because it seems like he's just saying whatever is coming to his mind while people
are clearly like most people have seen like the shots with like he has this he's like silhouetted
by this just wall of supporters like packed to the rafters but the reverse of like what the crowd looks like in front of them
uh mostly people bored as hell leaving yeah yeah a tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
his pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew. Poor thing. She said,
Oh,
the snake poem.
Yeah.
So the reverse shot looks like,
like a Coachella stage of like,
it's not going well.
No,
like people are like kind of sitting there,
not really responding.
And there's just a line of people streaming out behind him yeah uh
behind them at the at the back which is wild because i'm pretty sure there weren't like other
authoritarian dictators speaking like at other stages that they could have been going to like
they came for trump and we're like jesus christ he loves to make poem again yeah he's been doing
that for a fucking was he doing that in
the first campaign or was that more the second campaign i think he's been i think he's been
doing that from from way back oh boy yeah yeah home was so mean that if you went to dinner with
him and he didn't like you you'd be dead the next morning and i got better more than him
oh boy yeah he's he's having i guess a absolutely regular one um and yeah i just like
also like that the fact that he decided to take a shot at bruce springsteen because obviously
everyone in new jersey hates that fucking carpetbagger and like even when some people
like when he first said like yeah you know people like bruce springsteen i think there's more people
here than a bruce springsteen show they just laughed it wasn't
even like yeah i think they're like come on full there you know it's like we're from jersey this
is not uh even close but this caused many boss fans to post pictures of shows where actual tens
of thousands of people had gathered to be like this does not compare or compute or whatever
but hey you know that's
that's what that's what life's like for trump just going to the garden state taking shots at
springsteen telling weird poems i think that were written by black people here's the hannibal
lector thing okay has anyone ever seen silence of the lambs the late great hannibal lector he's a
wonderful man he oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. Remember that? The last scene?
Excuse me, I'm about to have a friend for dinner.
As this poor doctor walked by.
I'm about to have a friend for dinner.
Hannibal Lecter, congratulations.
The late, great Hannibal Lecter.
We have people that have been released into our country
that we don't want in our country.
And they're coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.
And we can't let this happen.
They're destroying our country. And we're sitting back and weed, totally unvetted. And we can't let this happen. They're destroying our country.
And we're sitting back and we better damn well win this election.
Because if we don't, our country is going to be doomed.
It's going to be doomed.
He doesn't even connect the Hannibal Lecter thing.
I'm assuming he started out meaning to be like,
and these people are worse than Hannibal Lecter.
But first of all, he just keeps talking about how cool Hannibal Lecter is.
How cool and dead Hannibal lecter but first of all he just keeps talking about how cool how cool and dead hannibal lecter is both weird weird choices great dinner host folks great hosts
could learn a lot about that part yeah and then just taking the chris farley show approach to
remember hannibal lecter remember that that's That's cool. Yeah. All right. What else?
Just drifting aimlessly.
It just sucks that those people did not want to hang around for that or his completely misinterpreted the snake recitation.
Right.
Sure.
Yep.
Yeah.
That's what he does.
That's what he does.
And so the Christy Noem book eagerly anticipated by no one really,
but I guess the media who get to write these stories about like all the
bullshit that's in there that finally dropped.
We've got more words that are probably not true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Which is great.
This time she said that she totally pulled a fucking power stunt on French President Emmanuel Macron last year.
She says, quote, While in Paris, I was slated to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron.
However, the day before we were to meet, he made what I considered a very pro hamas and anti-israel comment to the press
so i decided to cancel oh yeah fuck yeah girl cancel his pro hamas ass let let them fucking
know honey from the fucking windows to the wall what else mother mother what's the square root of 64 um if you liked that story though please don't reach out
to macron's office to verify the story like nbc did because they will say quote a representative
from the elise palace disputed gnome's account saying there's no record of a scheduled meeting
nor was there an invitation extended to her. When reached for comment Friday, a spokesperson for Nome said that, quote,
The governor was invited to sit in President Macron's box for the Armistice Day parade at Arc de Triomphe.
And that's it.
So you were invited to be at an event he was at.
You know, and spoiler alert, he didn't even show up at this event.
So even if she had, he wasn't even there for the chance to even be like,
Uh-uh, Macron, I'm a cron.
I'm off of the year pro Hamas fucking rantings because like the NBC also tried to figure out what he may have said to the press, like in the lead up.
And it was just very boilerplate Western European leadership right after the October 7th saying like, oh, yeah, like I condemn Hamas and Israel has like a right to defend itself but they should also not
indiscriminately bomb people and okay i don't think so wow not today not on my watch not on my
watch so shouldn't kill innocent people okay uh wow okay hamas i'm out of here i'm off this i'm
not gonna come to your box for the
armistice parade at the arc de triomphe box suite or whatever you guys are just like such basic
like kid in middle school lies where it's just they all seem to start with like so i told him
and it's just some bullshit that she like wishes she said but in a lot of cases like the entire conversation
didn't even happen so it's just yeah it's that it's like that freshman year of high school lying
energy i feel like freshman year of high school brings a lot of like lies out for kids because
you have a chance to like start over sometimes like you have different classmates you can kind
of create your own myth i remember so vivid hang out there you know high schools hey your first day of high school too
yeah man cool man i can't wait dude i saw nirvana this summer what about you guys
you saw nirvana this summer uh you know where you think i got this t-shirt i remember there
was this fucking kid my freshman
year man he fucking said that green day played at his like 14th birthday for like eighth grade
and we're like how he's like my dad knows them and we're like how is your dad like in the industry
or something he's like nah my dad my dad's an accountant like for a record label he's like nah
but he knows like he didn't even think his lie out
past yeah they paid at my birthday and it was also became one of those things is like later on like
he was like became more chill and i remember bringing it up and he's like i never said that
and i was like all right that's why we all call you green day full because you said that came to
your birthday but you are known as green day behind your green day is acting like he didn't
say green day came to
his fucking birthday party what the fuck so you guys called me that because of how much weed i
smoke fuck we know that's a lie too you said you never done drugs in your life um yeah wasn't the
kim jong-un story like she told him i know a thing or two about dealing with little tyrants because i've
worked with um children before i was a sunday school teacher yeah yeah and then immediately
just the immediate backing down well and also it's like that scene and is it happy gilmore
billy madison billy madison billy madisonley. That Veronica Vaughn is one fine piece of ass.
Piece of ace.
And I know from experience.
No, you don't.
Well, no, I don't.
But, uh.
Yeah, she just.
A friend of mine, him and her got it on.
Woo!
No, they didn't.
Yeah.
No, they didn't.
But, uh.
Two Farley references in a row.
But you can imagine what it would be like, right?
You're welcome, young listeners.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's take a quick break and we're going to come back and talk about Solar Storms.
I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.
And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.
And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed.
Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films
and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades.
Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers,
church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine.
Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts,
the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives.
Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration.
It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring
these types of abuses never happen again.

I'm Keri Champion,
and this is season four of Naked Sports where we live at the intersection
of sports and culture up first I explore the making of a rivalry Caitlin Clark versus Angel
Reese I know I'll go down in history people are talking about women's basketball just because of
one single game every great player needs a foil I ain't really near them 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? 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.
We're back.
And yeah, there was a bit of solar activity
over the weekend.
Yep, yep, yep.
A lot of places.
Got to see the Aurora Borealis this weekend
in the U.S.
Yep.
Went as far south as a Northern California and
Alabama.
Yeah.
You could apparently allegedly could have seen them from DC from what I read,
but I,
when I went outside,
there was clouds and then I was just so tired.
I,
I,
I should have acted like it was an actual chance to see something like very
significant to our earth,
but yeah,
I was just too
tired so i was like ah well maybe god maybe god is intending for me to go to scandinavia
and see it like yeah the way it was intended or alaska wherever the far wherever just i got to go
up in the northern hemisphere there yeah get up i didn't catch the last solar eclipse, but that's just because I'm going to go so crazy for the next solar eclipse, man.
Oh, boy.
Just, no, you're not.
No, you're right, I'm not.
No, I'm probably not.
But you could imagine, though, right?
Yeah.
I guess, yeah.
Yeah, a lot of people seem to be processing this
by posting Simpsons memes on Twitter,
processing this by posting uh simpsons memes on twitter specifically the uh the skinner meme where he is eating with superintendent chalmers super nintendo chalmers yeah soupy nintendo um and is
like uh there's a fire in his kitchen he claims it's the aurora borealis um this time of year at
this time of day this part of the country
localized entirely within your kitchen wow i wonder this is when you know like you're getting
old too because i'm sure there are a lot of people being like what the fuck is this what are you guys
talking about what what's what's with these yellow cartoon characters talking about steamed hams
yeah it was a great fucking day for us so uh obviously that was the reference everybody
was using on uh social media uh there there were some concerns about the storm um because it was a
g5 storm um oh god and we all know what that means but yeah uh fly like a g6 so it's probably less than a g6 less than a g6 but
definitely more than a g4 and you can tell and i had a feeling based on like what we were seeing
definitely more than a g4 this was the first of this strength to hit the planet since 2003
and when that one hit it temporarily knocked out power in part of Sweden
and damaged electrical
transformers in South Africa
this one this time we've seen
no major damage as of yet
the storm did affect communication
systems that rely on high frequency radio
waves so
that fucked up my ham radio
stuff yeah
what's your call sign on there
steamed ham radio this is steamed ham radio uh stuff yeah what's your call sign on there steamed ham radio this is steamed ham radio
yeah steady hammond i like that i'll go by becky hammond becky's on there um yeah the other thing
i guess gps really fucked up fucked things up for the farmers which i did not know that i mean yeah
again i don't know anything about agriculture
but i was like oh that makes sense automated agriculture machines cool yeah they have a form
of gps that is better than ours apparently um they have like their tractors use gps for automated
guidance while planting crops but it has to be incredibly precise, right?
It can't be the normal GPS that we use.
You need them in nice rows.
You're on one of these roads in this general area.
Right, and based on the fact you're moving
in that direction at that speed,
you can't be going the wrong way on a one-way,
so we're going to say you're here.
Just making educated guesses at that point,
but their tractors are precise to the point of like centimeters,
which like allows them to plant in straight lines and allow for proper
spacing,
which is just a crazy level of precision that they have access to that I
wasn't aware of.
Oh,
wow.
Brian,
the editor with the fucking facts here,
civilian GPS limited to three meters, real, real GPS, they have access to that I wasn't aware of. Oh, wow. Brian, the editor with the fucking facts here. Civilian GPS
limited to three meters.
Real GPS
is centimeter accurate.
Brian, the editor, any thoughts?
We have had you on before to talk about
the dangers of a solar storm,
the possibility of a solar storm
eventually
coming. Sexy solar storms.
Not knocking shit out. Yeah, we did
the sexiest solar storms of the past
50 years. You came in and
gave us your top five.
But this one,
it seemed like there was
there were definitely like Wi-Fi
issues that I saw happening
in America on Friday.
I don't know if they were related, but generally
it seemed like the the
system held how did you feel uh i didn't have any problems because i was actually getting my
internet set up my new apartment so yeah i wouldn't have noticed anyway right right right
i heard it i heard it did affect a bunch of hot dogs though the solar yeah a couple people stomach
bugs yeah don't eat shrimp and pork wontons during a solar storm or bad things might happen
yeah god everybody's getting it in some weird way i feel like one of the early zombie movies
made of maybe night of the living dead like there's a comet or something there's some yeah celestial
explanation for the zombie apocalypse i mean it's the class it's the classic explanation if you
don't yeah if you don't want to explain why the shit in your movie is happening just show a comet
hitting earth during the credits problem solved right after the yeah post post credit scene dude it happened because that
comet anyway have a good night sometimes it's like spacecraft disguised disguised as a comet but
yeah um anyways uh we should say it's uh the system has held together uh pretty well so far
um but we do have to await the emergence of any zombies or you know people going haywire
and hey yeah we'll see well the yeah like again uh november take your time if you're gonna if
this is also zombie related maybe maybe hold it or i don't know maybe just do it whatever you want
whatever you want yeah katie brit we have an update from katie brit missed her
actress of the year i think she just won a bafta over the weekend uh so she's the center who did
the response to biden's state of the union was that this past year or year no that was in that
was the most recent one okay yeah that's how fucking wild shit feels she somehow didn't die of embarrassment after doing
one of the strangest just uh approximations of humanity in the speech where she's like
on the like she always looks like she's on the verge of tears but also it feels fake but also
like it's yeah it's just weirdly on the verge of like screaming to the point that her like blood vessels would burst in her eyes.
Yeah.
It's everything.
It was a powerhouse performance.
Yeah.
Anyways, she's introducing a new bill called the Moms Act, which sounds cute.
We all love moms.
Right in time for Mother's Day.
Moms stands for more opportunities for moms to succeed okay so the
word moms is both the acronym and one of the letters and we'll allow it fine very clever um
and uh it proposes to establish an online government database called pregnancy.gov
listing resources related to pregnancy including care providers uh unless
and you could probably fill in what the unless is unless they provide abortion related services
pregnancy.gov this sounds very good this sounds very good so it's probably going to be a lot of
propaganda probably crisis births and pregnancy center things.
Nothing to do with your pregnancy that would actually keep someone informed about what their options are.
I'm guessing that's just what I'm thinking.
If that's what Senator Britt is, whoever, whatever interest group basically said here, you're going to introduce this onto the Senate.
Just go out there and do what you're you're putting you're going to introduce this onto the senate floor just go out there and do what you're told the site would quote provide misleading information in an effort to
dissuade women from seeking abortions and the bill itself would quote provide grants to anti-abortion
non-profit organizations um and it actually like gets worse from there which is pretty wild it just
feels like she's gone full handmaid's tale uh her website would
require users seeking info to provide their contact information so essentially would create
a national registry of pregnant women um created by the people who are actively trying to criminalize
abortion yeah wow wow wow wow yeah that will i mean the the video itself again she i don't know if she's
ever able to do things not super creepy like her performances feel like when artists do commentary
on mass media and like there's like this uncanny thing about like the people on tv selling us like
fucked up messages black hole sun core yeah exactly so this is just a little taste of how she
wanted to let you know it's safe. Okay. And I'm a smiling lady. Yeah. You should picture a wide
smile plastered across her face. Hi, as a mom, I know that there is no greater blessing in this
life than our children. And I also understand the types of challenges that women face during their pregnancy
journeys and while raising their kids. Dude, this music is fucking violent. I don't know how else
to describe it. Like you're not tricking me with this fucking acoustic guitar string piano
arrangement as much as you want to make it feel like, no, no, this is benign. This is okay. This
is a benefit. This is the song that my husband was playing on the acoustic guitar
at the bonfire that i met him at right yeah he was a youth pastor and i was one of the people
in the youth group um here let's let's what else let's want to see the last couple seconds of it
what what kind of entertainment value do we get out of it if any i'll continue to fight to advance
a comprehensive culture of life to empower
parents and to grow opportunities for hard-working families so that every child across our nation can
reach their god-given potential and every woman can thrive oh boy yeah yeah that's uh
well it's here it's here this is uh this what they're, this is a all part of Project 2025.
Because that's also another, one of the aims of a new despotic regime is to do away with any kind of health care, body autonomy, any of that.
Any privacy, any, yeah.
Yeah.
But it's not a cult.
It's not a cult.
That was very natural, very natural, sincere vibes I got from that.
Yeah.
And yeah, pregnancy.gov, y'all.
Check it out.
Check it out.
And finally, we have an opportunity to let you know about, you can eat like Garfield
at the Olive Garden, you guys.
How does one eat like Garfield at the Olive Garden, you guys. How does one eat like Garfield?
Well, you might have heard this, but Garfield liked lasagna.
I know that.
Okay.
He liked lasagna.
So the entire menu is literally just lasagna.
Obviously, the entree is lasagna.
I'm not surprising you with that one.
The appetizer, Miles, also lasagna.
Oh, it's just lasagna? lasagna oh okay the dessert as well lasagna frittata lasagna fritta is what it's called
it looks like what is that like fried polenta with just like sauce on it okay sure yeah with
meat sauce on it it's not technically lasagna which i think the thing that's okay that's okay that's okay just shut the fuck up i'm trying to eat like garfield um yeah and garfield is on the on the ad being like
i always start with this app looking uh very smug and satisfied well fed but yeah the dessert is a
chocolate lasagna and people are already treating it like a challenge to like eat the whole thing
3660 calories wait if you eat the fucking garfield menu that's like once oh fuck off
should be like a day and a half i think is probably the fda yeah yeah that's a lot of
garfield fandom going on if you're if you're willing to put that
down i'm sorry there's a new garfield like this is the other thing i was like there's a movie coming
out yeah soon who's gonna go to garfield oh that's right and everyone's like wasn't bill
murray the voice of garfield at one point he was he signed on to do it i don't know was he the voice or was it like
one of those live action combination things i think he was the voice um yeah which makes sense
he he has garfield energy um but i i remember that was a story where the cohen brothers yeah
right yeah the person who made it was named joel or ethan cohen joel and he was like wow
joel cohen is the of the cohen brothers is like stepping out so it was like one of those things
where because he like does all his decisions on his own yeah no managers no agent yeah yeah
kind of got fucked on that one but it's anyway this one is going to be a cinematic classic
I got fucked on that one.
But anyway, this one is going to be a cinematic classic.
Yeah, I don't know.
Is this actually going to make money?
I just don't know.
Or I guess care.
I think that's the other part.
It's just Garfield feels so irrelevant.
You know what I mean?
I don't know how else to put it. I get the character itself looks, yeah sure it's like garfield but are the kids are the kids asking for garfield i don't think so my kids are not
asking for garfield i think this this reminds me of like the big blockbuster movie they had
a couple weeks ago was fall guy um which was you know a ryan gosling movie that was like kind of because they can't just be
like give them another marvel movie anymore because marvel has run out of gas they're like
give give them another gosling i don't know they're like kind of throwing darts at a wall
like trying to figure out what it is that people would want that could be like bankable and so in
this case they're like give them another cartoon that is well known that is voiced by chris pratt oh my god yeah well at least samuel
l jackson is the voice of his father thank god i was i was waiting for a vehicle where sam jackson
was chris pratt's father oh wow that's where yeah after an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father
scruffy street cat vic voiced by samuel jackson garfield and his canine friend odier forced from
their perfectly pampered life into joining vic in a hilarious high-stakes heist wow cool cool
cool that that is cool miles you're right that's cool um but i again i feel like diminishing returns like they're trying to
copy the success of super mario brothers that cartoon with like a garfield cartoon with chris
pratt is um yeah it's written by the same guy who wrote finding nemo and Emperor's New Groove. And I guess the director also worked on Emperor's New Groove.
Like that shit came out in 2000.
Wow.
Well,
they've been working on it for a while.
they know what the kids want.
I'm telling you.
We're,
we're good here,
guys.
Don't worry about the box office.
It's wild because conceivably the people that would even take their kids to see this movie were born around the time the last big
animated thing these guys made was right yeah that makes sense yeah so we'll see it's it's such a
stupid thing but it it is an instinct i have where i'm like rooting for the box office like the planet
of the apes movie did well this week and i I was like, yes, people, those are going to do well. There's maybe there will be,
they do like exactly the same every time.
Like it made like 56 million and like the last one made like 54.
And yeah,
I,
because I want there,
I want people to continue to be able to go to the movies for that,
to continue to be an option.
But it's,
it's tough team to root for when it's like these sorts of
decisions can you imagine they just they're just gonna start going all in on planet of the apes
mashups they're like all right dude this is then this this shit is still giving us something man
so what if are they part of the mcu is there any way we can connect the planet of the apes with
that what about a rom-com set in the planet of the apes universe you know it doesn't have to all be war and fighting that would be so absurd that i feel
like that could be hilarious like yeah like when this silverback and orangutan said they were they
couldn't be together they went against all odds to prove to the world that they were true primates yeah prime mates there you go
try that out try that out that's a free one hollywood don't even want anything for that
just promise you'll make it oh man the fettuccine alfredo is like in the mix on this garfield movie
uh extravaganza the that was that was my go-to when i was a kid and got to go to the olive garden
fettuccine alfredo i won't be hungry for two weeks yeah i mean i feel like that was always the
like i remember like in in the 90s it felt like it was like uncool to order pot like red sauce
like everyone wanted fettuccine alfredo that felt like the cool thing to eat. It was like, dude, red sauce?
That's for my grandma.
I eat molten cheese.
I think we also got fucked up on the red sauce because we were all eating ragu spaghetti sauce at home.
Yeah.
Which, not great.
Actually, ragu was better.
We got the chunky stuff that had chunks of vegetables in it
in a jar and that that was
actually i liked even less than ragu no well good to know i will i will make sure i will never
prepare you that kind of sauce again i feel like they've got the canned sauces figured out
now like there's yeah yeah they're pretty good they're pretty good good uh good shortcuts for
the pasta eaters out there finally jerry sein Seinfeld gave the commencement speech at Duke over the weekend where his kids go, I guess.
And it went about as well as everything else that Jerry Seinfeld has done in the past month.
He's been complaining about the Wokes.
He released his January 6th Pop-Tart movie.
Yep.
And he's an avowed supporter of Israel.
And it was recently revealed his wife donated money and encouraged others to donate money to the pro-Israel counter-protest group that showed up at UCLA.
Yeah, it's called the right side of history, Jack.
Yeah.
That's the right side. history jack yeah that's the right
side they're all in on that they're just all in on that um well what a great time to ask him to
