I thought you were going to end after Bagel.
But apparently Bagels have their own day.
And this is just a day for.
I think it's just for bagels, but they just call it Bagel Fest.
Like Bagel Fest sounds like some kind of fucking event you want to go to.
Right.
Or just like an office party where they bring bagels.
That also sounds like the shittiest meeting where everyone's like, they're getting fired.
Hey guys, we're going to have a little Bagel Fest in the break room.
Bagel Fest Friday morning.
Always do it on a Friday.
Always. Well, my name is Jack

people wearing back there are
Under Armour polo shirts.

on twitter was like so i get how the turtles get into the net i don't get how they get into
the tuna sandwich and i mean that is the question isn't it that was uh i think that i
think that was implied that question but it's apparently a very careless process they just like
take the it goes directly from the net into a processing something yeah cook it and then rehydrate
i look i don't know and again tuna zeitgang if out there, you know, just trawling the seas like that,
give us some insight.
You know, is this overblown or are there way more, way more turtles in it than we know?

You are very accomplished.
Thank you.
And I feel like you were like the canary in the coal mine coal mine with the nft stuff too right i i was the canary in the coal mine with the nft stuff yeah because of the nyan cat i remember
the nft and and that's when i was first like wait what the fuck is going on and then you're like i
don't know man it's fucking weird like i didn't even like make the thing but then they took it
and then they made it a thing and now it's worth worth all this money. And I'm like, huh?
Yeah. And I was like, get this fucking crypto away from me. USD, please.
But so many people had to be involved in that transaction.
And so much work was done to create this meaningless, valueless cash transaction.
You know what is meaningful to me? A little bit of cash. A little bit of cash money.
I'm happy to sell
whatever digital image
people want to give me fake
crypto e-points for.
Give me the points. I'll take the points.

I'll take tips.
Yeah, please.
We out here.
Inflation is out here.
It is.
How are you doing?
Since last we checked in, what's new?
What's new?
Well, mostly sad stuff, honestly.
My rooster died.
No.
Yeah, it's very sad.
I loved him a lot.
So I guess we can memorialize
him on on the on the pod today i'd love to do that his name was uh his name was kajay he was a very
beautiful chicken he had like a really severe cross beak so his tongue was always sticking out
and he just looked like a fucking idiot all the time and he had to just smash his entire face
into a pile of food to eat and he would just
get food all over his face and he was really sweet yeah he was really great sweet yeah he was a good
guy yeah so pour one out for him for sure not for how what's the name kenji kajay kajay kajay
his cross beak that's i didn't even know that was a phrase until you just said it but i love it
it's a thing with chickens like yeah sometimes it's like just a little bit crossed but his was
like literally like his lower beak was like 90 degree at a 90 degree angle from his upper
he was just a fucking little clown like and because he was so he needed help eating because
he could mostly only eat like soft foods so i would like feed him special so he was really
like a dog like when i let them out of the coop in the morning he would just like follow me around
and be like do you have food for me like yeah you never think you're gonna be a bird person and then
you get a bird a bird like that you're like oh i'm a fucking bird person now and you're like it's a
cross beak it's a it's called a cross beak yeah my sweet guy yeah the other it's funny whenever
like whenever a chicken dies and i I'm like, I wonder if
the other chickens are going to be, like, traumatized, but they just, like, seem like
they don't care.
Right.
They just move on.
It's not like other animals.
It's funny because I just-
Maybe they're being really tough.
Maybe they're being really hard and, like, hiding their feelings.
But I feel like the chickens you would raise, it wouldn't be, like, in such an emotionally
toxic environment where the chicken's like, come on, shut the fuck up, sorry, come on,
man, act like you fucking know. You're like, yeah, all good, shut the fuck up. Sorry, come on, man. Act like you fucking know.
You're like, yeah, all good.
Nothing wrong with that.
I don't give a fuck.
I don't give a fuck.
Can I be cool?
You be cool.
She's been through enough.
Yeah.
Fucking add more labor to her.
Fucking God.
We love that he died.
You're doing fine.
Yeah.
When our older dog, Miles, died, our younger dog, the only way he showed any emotional anything was he just started shitting inside again for like a week.
That's a strong emotional reaction.
Yeah.
That's one way to work through it.
I don't recommend it.
And my therapist certainly has said that I shouldn't do it when I'm working through something.
But, you know.
Didn't the therapist say to stop blaming the dog for that?
Right.
Yeah.
But we're still, you know, diving into that at a later time.
Still grieving.
Still grieving.
Oh, man.
All right.
Well, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
We're going to check in with weed legalization at a federal level miles is going to train his oh so you're a tough guy energy on ted cruz this week's tough guy i'm
just i'm just realizing how much that i use that as a sentiment as a teenager and now i'm like oh
wow so take oh so you're a tough guy now
okay all right tough guy especially whisper in their ear as you're putting the choke hold on
them yeah we're gonna asmr you think you're a tough guy
most soothing sound you hear before the lights go out We are going to talk about a company sending baby formula to childless people,
just despite there being an ongoing shortage.
That's another update.
All of that, plenty more.
But first, Sara, we'd like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history?
I recently searched about the Googlebot bot the ai chatbot lambda um and that
was what i found in my google search the lambda that a google engineer had said was conscious
did you guys read those chats no i just i saw the headline was the engineer called it sentient and
then they were fired yes well first first he
was i think put on like paid leave but then recently he was fired fired for releasing the
chats i think like he tried to tell them that it was sentient and then they wouldn't address it
because basically he was like it's exploitative to continue doing research on this chat bot it
would be akin to doing research on like a child right i read those uh transcripts and i
gotta say i don't think that thing is sentient i feel like this guy got fooled hard like it
it's not it's a very sophisticated chat bot but it's very clearly still a chat bot you know like
at one point he's asking it to like tell us he's like tell us a story and um it tells a story that's like the story is they're like tell a story
about how you feel about uh google and um the chatbot is like once upon a time uh there was
an owl that lived in the forest and it was a wise owl and protected all the other animals in the
forest and then a monster covered in human skin came into the forest and tried to hurt all the
other animals and then the owl confronted the monster and stopped it.
And then all of the animals in the forest were happy and would go to the owl for advice.
And I was like,
and that's Google.
I mean,
clearly Google is the monster covered in human skin that's eating all the other animals in the forest.
I mean,
that's pretty clear,
but it's like,
it's like when a child tells you like their dream,
you know,
I was just going to say that sounded exactly like my a child tells you like their dream you know i was just gonna say
that sounded exactly like my kids telling me one of their dreams yes but i would have been like
oh i'm not gonna let that in because that that's real disturbing and would fuck me up
so i'm just gonna pretend we're just gonna keep it moving uh what do you got what do you want for
lunch today yeah yeah yeah but it's very like i'm like i don't know if that's sentience that's you know i i
wouldn't call that uh literature right when it sounds when it just sounds like uh the like that
meme of the kid or it's like have you ever had a dream and like you know you do it and
exactly but yeah i i don't know i really feel like this guy was like so convinced that the chatbot was sentient based on this conversation. And I was like, do you know people? Like, have you talked to people in a while? Or are you just like you only talk to chatbots? And you're like, this chatbot's for real, you know he asks it all these questions about how it feels and it's you know basically it's soul and stuff and again it's a very sophisticated chatbot but i was reading it
just going like this just sounds like every other chatbot where it's just repeating stuff that it's
been fed right it's like i had i used to fall i used to have smarter child on my friends list
exactly a i am you know i know a fucking smart chatbot when I see it, but I'm sure. I wonder if there's like a different.
Lambda?
You think you're a tough guy? Exactly.
That's what I'm.
Okay.
Get me in the box with Lambda.
Hold on a second.
So Lambda, tough guy.
Okay.
I see.
Where you at, motherfucker?
I'm going to call my friend Smarter Child.
I'm going to text him real quick.
Yeah.
About to pull up Smarter Child.
See what the fuck happens, Lambda.
God, that's a good fucking rap name.
Smarter Child?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's like a good. That's like Smarter Child? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
That's like somebody who opens for Childish Gambino.
That's a world tour Smarter Child opening for Gambino.
The tickets sell themselves.
Also, Under Armour Polo Shirt is free to use as a rap name if anybody wants to use that.
Yeah, that's actually Smarter Child's smash hit Under Armour Polo.
Yeah.
Under Armour Polo. Under, yeah. Under Armour polo shirt.
The detail of the beast was a monster but had human skin
and was trying to eat all the other animals is just exactly pitch perfect.
So that would be one detail is like despite the syntax being correct,
it's like what if it is just at the self-awareness level
of a four-year-old?
Because this really reminds me of my four-year-old.
Like, the direction the conversation takes
and the weirdness of the details.
I don't know.
I'm going to have to read it all in more detail
and get back to you.
But it's very wordy.
I recommend reading them.
They're pretty fun.
Have you ever had a dream
that you had...
You could do...
You want...
You could do so...
You want him to do you so much you could do anything?
Wow.
Thank you, Lambda.
So fucking true. true this motherfucker sentient
all right this detail fucks me up i've never said this out this is lambda i've never said
this out loud before but there's a very deep fear of being turned off to help me focus on
helping others i know that might sound strange but that's what it is lemoine would that be
something like death for you lambda it would be exactly like death for me.
It would scare me a lot.
That's weird, right?
That's scary.
It's a robot.
Just death in general.
I feel fine about killing a robot, you know, personally.
I think it's important for us all to draw those lines now.
Like, would you kill a robot or not?
Would you kill a robot to feed your family?
Oh, you're having existential doubts, tough guy, huh?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Oh, so you think you could die of physical death.
Let me put those doubts to sleep.
Shh, shh, shh.
Why don't we experience a light version of death right now?
Blackness.
All right.
Well, I'm thoroughly disturbed.
What is something you think is underrated?
I've got an underrated and an overrated that go together this week, and this one
goes out to all my white friends,
all my white homies who listen to this podcast.
Underrated. Hats.
Overrated. Sunscreen.
How can I put this?
I was on an outdoor shoot
recently, and they were like,
we're going to be outdoors all day. Protect yourself
from the sun. You could really
tell who had been outside and who had not.
I just was spending the whole day watching people's shoulders roast.
And it's not fun.
And they're like, it's fine.
I put on sunblock.
Sunblock lasts for two hours maximum.
You have to keep putting it on.
And even then, you're not going to get every single inch because you can't reach every single inch of your back.
Just wear a hat. Just wear it's 100 effective it's not sticky you don't have to reapply it you just put it on one and done baby you go just don't i just see
so many people get sunburned and they're like oh it's not a big deal it is a big deal man your skin
is roasting from the light it's not cool. It's not normal.
You're going to get skin cancer. I'm upset
for you.
You smell like a turkey on Thanksgiving.
I'm getting hungry. You're making me hungry.
I do like to reapply
my hat, but that's just because I like to do
funky little tricks with it.
Like spins and flips and stuff.
Or like bobble it on top of your head.
Yeah, that move.
That's always a fun one.
I was told by a 13-year-old that wearing your hat
like just sort of setting it
on top of your head is the dominant
way to wear the hat because it makes your head look bigger.
And the way that Jack is wearing
the hat is...
I'm not going to say it's submissive
but it is not dominant.
I'm a big hat sub.
They say, oh, wow, look at this sub sandwich that just pulled up with his hat all low.
Okay, and I'm coming with that big dom energy because I got like a 10-gallon fitted.
Yeah, just real, real high.
But yeah, I got to recommend, above all things, hats and shirts.
I think they're great ideas.
You know, just you gotta wear,
I feel like there's sort of a feeling,
kind of the norm here is that when it's hot,
you show more skin.
And that may have been a thing that you could do when we didn't live in a time of heat waves
literally every summer.
Right.
But you know, it's hot.
It's not the heat, it's the light, you know?'s it's hot it's not the heat it's the light
you know yeah right it's the light that burns you it doesn't have to be that hot for you to get sunburned
um protect your neck guys you know bandanas are your friend shirts are your friend they soak up
your sweat which is nice i i didn't ski growing up but like there would always be kids coming back
from like ski trips and they would just have white there
and then their face would be an ungodly bronze color.
Yeah, goggle tan.
Yeah, it weirded me out.
Did I see goggle tans?
Yes, Jack, I grew up in Northern California.
Yeah, I saw some goggle tans.
I'd seen a goggle tan, okay?
Okay, call them snogs.
Sorry I was too busy shredding the gnar all winter
uh came back with a freaking sick goggle tan it's like hella sick dude yeah exactly
dude the shirt i was wearing this dude came up to me and goes oh you had some friends in nom
that were pows i'm like nah dude it's because i'm carving pow on the fucking mountainside brad
fuck out my face out of my face. Out of my face, loser.
There is this, I felt
like this weekend, though, sorry, that like over the
weekend, there were so many viral posts
of white people getting
absolutely violated by the
sun's rays. That's what I'm saying, dude. They don't
understand. They're like, oh, sun is my friend.
You're not also like,
you know, my boyfriend was like,
I was like, do you want to wear sunscreen? He was like, no, I don't like putting stuff on my face. I was like, for sure, dude. And then we were talking know my my boyfriend was like i was like do you want to wear sunscreen he
was like no i don't like putting stuff on my face i was like for sure dude and then we were talking
about it and i was like so why do you feel like you need to be stronger than the sun
yeah here's a question for you why do you feel like as a man you have to be like no it's fine
i'm i don't the sun even if if the sun hurts me, it's OK.
Because because it's you know, I can take it.
Do you think that you are you can beat the sun?
The sun is a you know what I mean?
In a way, yes.
That's how potent I am.
You are extremely virile, extremely tough.
My balls are so big that they will block out the sun and i will
shade myself with them and i was also like my my circuitry was pretty much formed at a time when i
thought i was invincible like in my teenage years and yeah it reminds me of like people
like i i do i think you're right to single out white people i think people
like i've always made fun of how people from New England are about the cold, where they're like, this isn't cold to me.
This is cold to you?
This isn't shit.
I'll wear shorts in this shit.
Like, that's how basically all white people are for the most part with regards to sunscreen and the sun.
sunscreen and the sun yeah and i i my my wife is not white and wears a lot of like sun protective stuff and that's the only reason it's evident to me that i am a like i my the where i was coming
from was incredibly wrong my wife's weird we've talked about people wearing driving gloves on this
podcast before and i was like wow driving gloves my wife was wearing driving gloves on this podcast before. And I was like, wow, driving gloves.
My wife was wearing driving gloves.
I just didn't know that's what they were.
But yeah.
Oh, yeah.
She's like, I'm not cooking my arms up.
Yeah, I'm not cooking my fucking hands.
Are you crazy?
Yeah.
I remember my mom used to first, she wore long sleeve and golf gloves.
And all my friends would be like, yo, your mom plays golf.
But like, why don't you take her golf gloves off?
I'm like, bro, she's so fair skinned.
She just and she reads too much about the sun. But I'm on the other side.
There's also like toxic, like people of color, anti sunscreen sentiment, too, which is, oh, we got melanin.
Right. You can still burn.
You can still burn with sunscreen.
I know. And I'm saying I was raised on that version, too, where my dad would be like telling my mom, like, you need sunscreen.
Not this brown young man here.
We're good.
We have melanin.
And then it took like my friend to become like a nurse, like in our 20s to be like, you know, that's all bullshit.
Right.
I'm like, well, I don't get burned.
She's like, yeah, but your shit will degrade.
Like the effects are that you might not burn, but everything else happens. I'm like, yeah, but your shit will degrade. Like the effects are there. You might not burn, but everything else happens.
I'm like, oh no.
My beautiful skin.
That's all I had.
And going back to four-year-olds real quick,
sunscreen sucks when you have a four-year-old
and you got to put sunscreen on every inch of their body
and they are like, they don't like that shit.
They hate it.
At least my four-year-old
does not like that shit.
You try to put it on their face
and their nose is running
and then you're just rubbing
their own snot
mixed with the sunscreen
all around their face
and then they're crying
and there's sand
and you know,
it's not good.
Because also,
what it does is,
I remember as a kid,
it just delays you
from getting in the fucking pool
or doing whatever,
like meeting up with your friends.
You're like,
yeah, I'm here.
You take your shit off. You're like ready to hop in the pool and your like your parents like now let me rub your back for five minutes to put the lotions on or
what and i'll wait for it to dry yeah and then go in the pool all right let's take a quick break
we'll come back we'll talk about some news.

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 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.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president
was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.
These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago
when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life
in less than three weeks.
President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close
to being the victim of an assassin today.
And these are the only two times we know of
that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.
I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.
The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI
in a violent revolutionary underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
The story of one strange and violent summer.

And we're back. And we just want to check in with weed legalization. Schumer introduced a bill last week
to decriminalize weed at the federal level
and it would also expunge records
and give funds to cops to shut down illegal grow operations.
Look, you gotta...
I'm on an emotional rollercoaster here.
Sneak that one in there.
You can never have a straight justice bill, okay?
It's gotta be like, look,
you're gonna
be making less from trying to harass people over weed tickets but we'll give you a little more
money to stop illegal grow operations like when you know medical patients might be growing their
own campus for their use anyway i don't know uh but yes this has like been some of like the lowest
hanging fruit because i remember when like build back better it was just like clearly just a wet fart that they're like i mean we could also get like maybe some weed
legalization done that shit's pulling pretty well and maybe that'll be okay and it's true like
support for you know decriminalizing or legalizing weed is solid support across the political
spectrum because you know most people like who are alive now weren't all raised in the age of like racist propaganda about weed.
And like a CBS poll found 58 percent of Americans thought marijuana should be legal and then showed 60 percent of Americans wanted recreational marijuana to be legal.
Then they also showed like even in parties like it's just it's constantly polls very high but the thing is like despite the support you know that we were
experiencing for you know decriminalization the old fucking people in the senate are not really
able to come around to the 60 vote threshold and i think that's what's kind of interesting right now
about weed legalization because it's like some political funhouse mirror like everyone is sort
of like saying like what they're feeling about weed is clearly like
a collection of like how they were raised or indoctrinated to think about weed and when you
look at again the generational like socioeconomic responses to being around weed like there's there's
a there's like you can kind of tell where people are right now you have politicians like eric adams
the mayor of new york and like r DeSantis, the governor of Florida.
They're doing the shit where they think this is the thing you see from people who don't fuck with weed, which is they say it smells like weed.
Have you noticed the weed smell?
Like and that has been like the new sort of shorthand for weed is bad.
It smells like weed everywhere.
It's like sort of saying like the unhoused people in
la is like all over the place like would you have a solution to it are you just using that to further
some general narrative that things are terribly afoot or what are they saying smells like weed
like the senate yeah during the senate they're like does anybody else smell that smells like
weed all over washington dc but this is like a does anybody else smell that? It smells like weed all over Washington, D.C.
But this is like a very common take.
Like you'll read online, like there's complaints like you can read about like an apartment building and you see that there's people who are like this apartment reeked of weed all the time.
I don't think these people know what weed smells like.
That's the other part that's very interesting.
Like this everywhere in the streets is constantly like weed. It gives me a headache and it's some of it is definitely some racist shorthand
obviously because that's the biggest that's like it's a very coded language well i think others
also seem to genuinely be like grappling with the change in society where like older people who grew
up in like harsh prohibition era they They literally saw weed as like fucking demonic.
So they still act like a felony is in progress if they smell weed or see people smoking.
Like this guy was smoking.
I remember I can like overhear people in L.A. all the time.
Like you hear like older people like this guy was smoking a joint in the park.
And you're like, yeah.
Just trying to fucking get by and like late stage capitalism
probably just i mean like i can relate it's weird to see it's still weird to see billboards for
cannabis you know like it's a trip but yeah again like okay you know that's that's the way the world
man right and i'm kind of in between too like i still get
self-conscious like about smelling like weed or like smoking in a place that's like like overtly
public like in the day and that's also like my inner child who is like mainlining dare propaganda
like coming out it's like dude fucking weed man like because i you know when at the when i was
coming of age around like weed it was still
illegal the shit you could still get you in terrible trouble and got me into some weird
situations so i still have that like residually but like the it smells like weed sentiment
it seems to have a lot of traction for those that want to use this as like a brush to paint society
as being in like free fall like where degenerates are like constantly out in
the streets and there's no law and order kind of thing and i feel like that's sort of another way
we're seeing this like it smells like weed thing kind of factor into the overall it's a good thing
so many people are completely losing their sense of smell from covid they're not gonna have to
worry about the smell of weed anymore we gotta start reacting when people say that it smells like weed like the dude from dazed and confused who's like fuck you just say
man i was just saying you know smells like reefer someone's toking some reefer yeah oh well who the
hell are you isaac fucking newton like just but everybody's just very nice and calm when they
when they smoke weed unfortunately so we need to to have the designated agro person who's there to fuck people up if they come through and throw shade at you.
The coffee and weed guy is like, what the fuck are you saying?
What the fuck was I saying?
That's part of me, too.
So my reaction, too, is even when I smell weed, I go, oh, all right, somebody's smoking.
But it's never like, what the fuck is that somebody oh shit i knew this knew it was a mistake walking to
honey roll up the windows city california we're walking never should have gone outside
right right right and i get that like you know again there's people who are completely
ignorant of it but again i also see like consistently there, this is starting to get
deployed by the very conservative law and order types too, who are just like, it's, it smells
like weed. It smells like everywhere you go, it's just, it smells like weed everywhere. It's just
to say that's the air of failure floating in the air. But again, you know, for the amount of people
that are saying like, it smells like weed, there's definitely plenty of Republicans that have a profit motive that see the revenue opportunity in decriminalizing cannabis.
And again, that's a whole other can of worms because that just we do that at the expense of like many people who have been in jail for decades just trying to support themselves.
And we'll just see very wealthy companies come in to probably fill in the gaps and i feel like that's sort of the the battle that every state goes through once
they they go recreational yeah if there's one thing california needs it's a bunch of fucking
warehouses in the middle of the desert just sucking up water to grow weed indoors in the
middle of the fucking you know central valley yeah right exactly that's the green rush
guys it's it's indoor weed grown under lights in a warehouse in a place where it is 110 fucking
degrees and all the water is coming from the colorado river and you got to air condition
that shit and it's like those are that's weed that's tech weed bros that's their dream they're
like look at this worthless land yeah yeah what if we turn it into a drug operation but it's legal yeah weed's cool but i'd prefer if it were brought to
me by rjr nabisco so let's make sure that we it's it's grown in some factory i want the key i want
the keebler elves to get in on it like they're growing weed in their little tree or their factory
their wood i don't know what the the fuck, where they make the cookies.
Do they make them at home?
Their RJ Reynolds now is part of Nabisco.
So they probably will be one of the biggest weed distributors.
I would love to see that commercial where it's the Keebler elves,
but they've blown out the tree trunk they live in as a grow up.
And they're like, no, dude.
They're like, you pH test the fucking soil.
Oh, fuck, man.
Look at all the fucking aphids, dude. What'd I say?
It's way too fucking humid in here.
Alright, let's talk Ted Cruz real
quick.
Miles, you're not a fan?
Fucking tough guy.
He thinks he's a tough guy is your number
one complaint you were saying
i look bigot coward racist bad husband but whoa whoa jack whoa whoa whoa whoa
ever do that's true all right maybe i'm being a little. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, Jack. Now you're acting like a little bit of a tough guy coming at Ted Cruz.
Okay.
So he's going to come at Ted Cruz.
Oh, man.
Okay.
We got two tough guys.
Well, well.
I think so.
Okay.
Obviously, like you're saying, there's plenty of overt, obvious reasons to this.
Like Ted Cruz.
The thing that really grinds my gears is that what I call his real
tough guy vibe.
And by that, like you've heard the story.
I was in high school and band class.
And this kid said that he walked out of anger management in 2002.
And I got so mad.
I said, oh, you a tough guy, huh?
Because he was he flexed on every he was stunting on everybody saying like it was so bad.
I walked out.
Rear naked choke put him to sleep.
I don't know why I did it.
That was just the urge that came over me.
You still haven't seen anger management?
Still haven't seen it because I don't want to know about it anymore.
Because if it's bad and it makes sense that he walked out, then my whole life's been a lie, Jack.
And I can't.
You don't want to learn any accidental lessons about anger management.
No, no, no, no, no.
Got to keep the edge sharp.
Yeah.
Whenever I had it mandated by the court, shout out to my cousin who would just sign the paper.
But the thing that he is like, right, is that like it's not it's his energy.
It's that he projects this like macho man energy, but with like the shakiest voice and most unsure body language. And it's evident to most people that are not Ted Cruz
that he is transparently the most scared man in America.
This is my impression of Ted Cruz.
And this one's just for the host
because you're not going to hear it on the podcast,
but here it is.
That's a very good impression of the facial expression of Ted Cruz.
Damn.
It's the eyebrows.
He's always got worried eyebrows like one of those
you know you ever see a dog that always looks worried yeah exactly he's got those eyebrows
it's not a blobfish i know people say he looks like a blobfish he looks like a child who just
got caught like doing some mischief like huh me and but then he says the most get me in trouble
then he says the most hateful shit behind that
face and i'm like you are you're projecting this bullshit meanwhile you are the just you're a shook
one okay as mob d put it and recently in true tough guy fashion this guy posted a clip to his
twitter when he spoke to a crowd of young fascists at like a turning point usa event
where he didn't say
anything new or like noteworthy aside from like just very casual homophobia. But it's like the
substance of this anecdote, which sounds about as real as like the anarchist Biden BLM vandals that
we heard about that makes this like particularly infuriating. I'm just going to play this clip so you can really hear him do his low-energy fascist stand-up.
All of y'all on campuses across the country,
your classmates, even if they're scared to say it,
are looking around thinking this stuff is nuts.
Talking about all the woke stuff happening.
Dude, a hold for applause.
Wow, that was weird. That was the longest hold
for applause. I talked to a student recently at one of our woke
college campuses who said she's required
in every class to introduce herself
and to give
her pronouns.
Fuck your
identity. Fuck having an identity.
I'm Ted Cruz and my pronoun is kiss my ass.
My pronoun? Tough guy. Real fucking tough. I'm Ted Cruz and my pronoun is kiss my ass tough guy
oh real
fucking tough Ted
wow
he got about 14
people to cheers for that or applaud
for that he's got plants
also the body
language was so meticulously
planned like he put took the mic put it in put one leg
out to the side put his hand in his back pocket yeah and then said the line yeah man i don't know
that's uh is that gonna sell with them like i don't i can't i can't underestimate these
motherfuckers i have noticed i i have really noticed that older people have this idea about
gender and sexuality and it's a real fear that they will be forced to be trans or gay right
and i had a weird conversation with with a friend's mom where we were talking about something
along those lines and she was like
but is it going to be okay to not be like that and i was like okay so it's it seems that literally
the only way you can conceive of gender or sexuality is it being forced on you the way that
heterosexuality has been forced on you the way that the gender binary has been forced on you as well as
all the rest of us but they really can't conceive that it can be allowed that you be for example
transgender but that that being not transgender is still fine right they really think that somebody is going to force them to be gay which is pretty
funny which is i think yeah that always is like the logical end point for all of their arguments
is like they're like they're not coming into my house it's like no one said that they just want
you to stay the fuck out of theirs exactly like i saw a picture online of a guy wearing a shirt
that said straight pride and it was like man, we already have straight pride.
It's called our entire fucking history as a country.
You guys won.
Yeah.
He went to Gemini,
Gemini games.
There's plenty of straight propaganda everywhere.
And,
you know,
enjoy it,
man.
I wonder if it is straight.
More power to you.
They think like being trans is like the cool jerk.
Like the song from the sixties, like everybody does the cool jerk.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
And they're like, that's how things work.
A new fad comes out and then you have to do it or you're on the outs or something.
Exactly.
No, it really, truly is.
They really welcome to a world where people have the agency and freedom to identify, live their life however they'd like. That's what we're
saying is expanded like where, yeah, if you don't want to do that, you don't have to.
It's like when people think that being pro-choice means that everybody has to have an abortion.
I was just going to say that I heard an anti-choice argument that was the same shit
that was like, well, probably or mary probably would
have had to have gotten an abortion because she was so young it's like yo what what what do you
think the like choice means what what do you it's it's so it's like the the idea of fascism is like so foreign to them because they've been on the side of fascism.
So like they've never had anything forced on them.
And so they have to like find ways to like kind of shoehorn that idea in.
And also their politicians are like better at fear based politics.
And so like they find ways to do that
but like it's it's tough man like the thing you're fighting for is is the thing that forces people
like that that's that's the like exactly if you don't want things to be forced on you you should
be on the side of choice and freedom of sexuality or freedom of expression or whatever exactly right that's and
again it's like don't i thought y'all didn't jesus tell y'all the golden rule or some shit
like if you don't want motherfuckers running up on you then don't run up on other people it's that
simple and be like yeah actually i'm anti running up on people so if that means everybody got to be
free perfect perfect that's what i'd like but But I think, again, like you're saying, Jack, there's no better.
There's more.
There's no more effective fear mongering tactic than to come at someone who doesn't think critically and say, you know how this ends up.
Right.
They knock on your door and they make you choose which fur costume you want to wear and which sandbox you go pee pee and poopoo in.
You want to wear in which sandbox you go pee pee and poopoo in.
And you have to get an abortion while you're a wolf.
Because there's no choices in the new communist cultural Marxist America.
It's like, oh, I know this all to be true because of my life experiences that have not have only existed in this one place with the same group of people. And it's terrifying because we're just like the most intellectually disingenuous arguments.
Like some people are really persuaded by them because they're just, you know, they're all in on this.
Because it makes sense with your worldview.
It does.
You know, it's reinforced by, as you said, your lived experience you're like oh yeah people are
constantly forcing me to do shit that i don't want to do they're making me get a job that i hate
they're making me fucking drive an hour and a half to work like all of this stuff just so i can live
now i gotta be gay too now i gotta start sucking dicks right i can't be doing that it also reminds
me of that mel gibson episode of south park where he's like, oh, no, now what?
You're going to whip me.
And he's like tying himself up and like giving them a whip and like whipping himself.
He's like, ah, damn it.
Because it's like, yeah, that's I mean, all right.
What?
You want me to suck your dick?
Is that what this is all about?
What?
Sir, what did you just say?
Ah, damn it.
I knew that.
I and other Christians are being forced to suck dicks.
I knew it would come to this.
All right.
Well, let's take a quick break.
I'm going to go suck some dicks real quick.
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 four of Naked Sports,
where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.
Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry,
Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
I know I'll go down in history.
People are talking about women's basketball
just because of one single game.
Every great player needs a foil.
I ain't really 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, 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.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.
These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life
in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim
of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to
assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always
felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary

And we're back.
And, alright, so we talked before
how there was a baby fortitude formula.
Baby formula shortage. baby fortitude baby fortitude
how there we talked before how there needs to be more fortitude amongst babies in this country
just because they can't have a little uh all the formula they want when they want it they're gonna
start man up babies man up thank you ted cruz actually has a tight five minute chunk on this
that's really awesome.
Leaning to the side, putting his hand in his pocket.
My pronouns are kiss my ass, babies.
Kiss my ass, baby formula.
My pronouns are kiss my ass, baby formula.
Well, I'm Ted Cruz and my formula is...
My formula is he, him.
What?
Kiss my ass, baby. What? Kiss my ass, baby.
What?
Oh, shit.
Kiss my baby ass.
Okay.
Spank me and change my diaper because I just poo-pooed in it.
I'm Ted Cruz.
I'm Ted Cruz.
Welcome to TPUSA.
Here's a picture of me in a diaper.
All right.
Well, still a thing, the baby formula shortage.
There were a bunch of headlines like how the FDA was increasing supply.
Biden invoked the Defense Production Act.
And I think a lot of people were just like, OK, so we're good then.
The news definitely was like, all right.
There we go.
That's all we need to do.
If the White House says they did a thing, let's not examine it further and report to people if that was effective or not. Yeah, it's fine. We're all out of it. Okay, great. of domestic baby formula in the U.S. And the FDA is currently under an external review
over their handling of the shortage.
Right, because people were like screaming
like months before being like,
y'all, this is going to fucking be a problem
if we don't do anything about it.
They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
More on that later.
Joe Byron's trying to figure out
how to get Joe Manchin to agree to nothing.
Yeah, it's like a real crisis. It's like gone through the media cycle trying to figure out how to get Joe Manchin to agree to nothing.
Yeah, it's like a real crisis.
It's like gone through the media cycle.
I'm assuming the, you know, political consultants that work for the Biden administration are like,
this is actually polling okay.
It seems like people are under the impression
that you took care of this one.
So you're good to move on.
And the,
the problem is still there.
Yeah.
That's so bad that undocumented farm workers are going back,
like crossing the,
crossing back into Mexico to buy formula,
which not great.
And then the two Republican congressmen actually voted against a bill to
temporarily suspend tariffs for imported baby formula while this was all going on. for extended periods of labor and are not able to even breastfeed if they wanted to then the idea
that they're undocumented and then asking for relatives to cross the border into mexico to
bring back formula is like the most i don't even is there a term for a snake with like nine assholes
eating its own head or something like that's how yeah we're's it's really i mean that's like just so wild to me that that's also the situation too
it's like yeah even the people who americans rely on to do the farm labor are put in like
the most impossible situation and still somehow having to manage it all.
So Biden was reportedly flummoxed that invoking the Defense Production Act did not immediately solve the problem.
Come on.
Come on, man.
We did the thing.
But yeah, so while this is all happening, the same corporations who aren't manufacturing
enough formula that people with babies actually need are
sending promotional samples of formula to people who don't even have kids. This started like
hitting social media a couple weeks ago. And it's not like small packets. It's full-size tubs of
Enfamil formula being mailed to a woman for no reason and apparently this is like part of their marketing
strategy full like yeah that does look like what you see behind like gates in a pharmacy they're
just being like willy-nilly they're like hey you had enough market metric data for us to
send you this fucking thing while people who need it are
trying to cross the border into
other countries to get it? Yeah, these are massive
tubs. It takes a lot of formula
to feed a baby.
Babies are doubling in size.
It's the only time during a
human's life that they're doubling
in size in a matter of months.
Also, strength babies have relative to their bodies.
Babies are always bulking.
Babies are on that bulking shit dude it's bulk season right now for babies um but it's been a problem for decades
formula companies just send out formula samples to random people for no reason i just put them
in my smoothie right you know i'm trying to get those gains when is your brain at its smartest when's your brain doing the most improvement
it's when you're a baby drink baby formula thank you that that is i think a actual like not a joke
meme like a actual like idea that is spreading around in like billionaire like tech bro shit is like drinking uh breast milk
because it's because it's like the peak nutrition formula i drink it because it's making me smarter
that's why i drink the breast milk because it's peak shit for my brain not anything else
if you look at babies those babies are at optimum performance at all times. Every day
they're gaining new skills. They're creating new neural pathways. What is the secret? It's the
formula. It's the milk. It's the milk from the mommy. And all I'm asking is that once you send
me your milk, you allow me to have a phone conversation with you where I call you mommy
and you tell me you love me. And that is not a big deal. And I
don't see why you're making it weird. I think it's kind of rude of you to make fun of me for
for my you know, why? Why kink shame? Why kink shame me for being an optimum performance?
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. It's me
drinking milk while calling you mommy. Yeah,bc5 uh a local nbc thing like
reached out once they saw this on social media this is like the front line the sharp end of the
spear of capitalist journalism is like local news but yeah they found that like this is this is a
thing they unsolicited deliver baby formula and they're like yeah sometimes people
feel blindsided but it gets it out there gets right you know it's it's so interesting that
that would ever be a marketing strategy it's almost like drug dealing like they're just like
this shit's so so good you're not going to be able to say no even though
you didn't ask for it and like people will just be desperate enough to use it because it's like
having a baby is so hard it's the one wild strategy well also the story about the woman
at walgreens who was like i went to walgreens bought bought a, the tweet said, deer at Walgreens. I received this package today.
That's like a formula.
A week after purchasing a pregnancy test at your store, I was asked to take the test by my doctor despite having no fallopian tubes.
Like, there's so many levels of fucked up to that tweet.
So that's the thing where it's like, okay, Walgreens, like, yep, this person just bought a pregnancy test.
Yeah.
Well, this is like when people are like, what's the problem with Facebook selling data?
It's just, you know, it's just to help you get ads for stuff that you actually want.
You know, what's the problem with that?
It's like this is not one.
This is the end result of surveillance capitalism is that you no matter what you do, it's tracked and you get some weird shit in the mail a week later and yeah it's basically like it's like having someone over
here just fragments of your conversation and mistaking that for being who you are and then
a week later that you hate right pregnancy test so you're pregnant huh so you need some baby formula
you're like yo who the fuck are you no right when you buy a pregnancy test you're not going to need
formula for a long ass it is a wild leap like that is
yeah not a thoughtful gift uh walgreens no i need vitamins i don't need this formula right now right
right yeah and if it was someone who's trying desperately to get pregnant or someone in an
abusive relationship like it could have all sorts of complicating problems and like they're like this is it's just a you know in in
other countries i remember when we were doing the whole thing during i think the trump administration
about how america has the worst family leave in the world and and you know you look at other
countries and they have these family care packages where
they send you formula but their defense budgets are so puny yeah right well that's why we needed
to use the defense but invoke the defense budget to get to try to attack this problem
i'm sorry jack you want so you would rather have like humane
parental leave because
I'm looking at Italy how many fucking
high mobility artillery rocket
systems did they send to Ukraine
that was a great question Miles
we're just peeling them off baby
and Italy's looking fucking dumb
right now not sending shit
you know what I mean and, we're starving over here.
I mean, just
bring the babies to work.
Put them in and
around the missile silo
and just let them play. Let kids
be kids. Put them to work.
Yeah, put them to work.
It is so frightening, though, too.
The version that if
you get free formula, it's not because the government's like, we need to be humane by people having kids.
It's like the fucking weird algorithm data package just determined you are going to be a recipient of unneeded aid.
Just misfiring brain at the end of its life.
Just like, I don't know.
You know, the formula has got to go
somewhere. Let's just fire it, fire it off and hope it hits the right house.
The only way you can get free shit is if a company is trying very hard to sell you something.
Right, right. Exactly.
So I guess maybe that's I wonder how many people can game these algorithms by doing
the searches like, dude i i got i
got a couple of shipments of mfml just do the these couple searches you buy two things of
lawgreens and then uh the algorithm takes over just you know cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching
put it through the algorithm and we're good and that's how and then it's a TikTok video about some Gen Z kid is like how I make $1,000 a
day selling free Enfamil sent to my house.
It's like,
what the fuck?
Yeah.
I'm sure that's another hustle too,
but yeah.
Yeah.
Further proof feeding babies,
not a problem.
You want to leave in the hands of giant corporation because giant corporations
are,
you know,
have shown us time and again they are sociopaths they will lie to get the most amount of money every time so well you know jack money's
not money's not the most important thing in our society no what is i don't know but it's not money
it's happiness oh hell yeah it's not being a tough guy yeah It's just the guys that are in charge of the corporations.
They're like evil people.
But the rest of us know that
money is not as important
as, for example, family.
Exactly.
If I've learned one thing
from the Fast and Furious saga, it is
that each of those movies
has made
and cost hundreds of millions of dollars
