Hi.
What's up?
This is exciting.
It's exciting to have you here.
How have you been?
Really good.
Even though we're meeting for the first time, but how have you been?
How have you been?
I mean, I've seen photos of you on Instagram, so I feel like I've known you for a while.
Right, and I've seen photos of you, yes, and I was like, oh, I never met her.
Yeah.
And here we are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm super good.
Yeah?
You know, it's Monday, Sunday, Tuesday.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, happy days.
I'm really good.
Yeah?
Yeah. You are the writer and star'm really good. Yeah? Yeah.
You are the writer and star of Florida Girls.
Yes, yes.
Which is a show that is in the process of airing its first season.
How has that experience been for you?
It's fantastic.
You know, we're on a network called Pop TV, and they're a newer network.
They're like three years old or four years old.
And they have a show called Schitt's Creek that has really like broke through and touched people's hearts and funny bones.
And it's wonderful.
But because we're on a newer network, this whole process of like airing and it's cable and I had very – I wasn't – my expectations were like not negative, but I was just like I don't know what's going to happen.
It's this new like frontier of television there's like, do critics review shows?
There's 600 shows submitted for the Emmys last year.
And then we got a bunch of reviews from Time Magazine and New York Times.
And I was very blown away.
And I was very pleasantly surprised.
So things are going very well, I feel good.
Yeah.
We were excited, too.
Lacey Mosley, one of your co-stars, is a good pal.
Frequent guest.
Frequent.
Legend on this show.
One of the faces on Mount Zeitgang.
She's incredible.
Zeitmore.
Mount Zeitmore.
All right, Laura, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about today.
We're going to talk about the Alan Dershowitz deep dive and the New Yorker.
We're going to talk about the fact that different people say things different.
You don't say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is all spurred by a tweet that you saw.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You went around the whole office.
We're like, tell me what this is.
What is it?
Yeah.
What do you call this?
We're going to talk about how Ilhan Omar is in some deep ass trouble.
Wow.
We have witnessed the face, the future of politics.
We are going to introduce you to that face, the person who is running against Ilhan Omar.
We're going to talk about whether there's trouble on the right, whether there's trouble in paradise between Trump and his right-wing supporters.
We're going to talk about a whole bunch of stuff.
Lil Nas X defeating Mariah and Despacito.
And Capital One going to regret those Viking commercials, I think.
Where people were just raiding the shit out of stuff.
And then people were like, oh, Capital One shit and all died.
I don't know.
What happened to the Vikings when they saw the people at Capital One?
I don't know.
No longer raiding?
They just switched to Samuel L. Jackson, I think.
Oh, okay.
Or Jennifer Garner.
Yes.
And we recorded this before last night's debates.
So, sorry, you're going to have to wait 24 hours for the hotness.
These lukewarm debate takes.
Lukewarm.
The lukewarmest of debate takes.
Well, either way, we're going to get to all of that and more.
But first, Laura, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Oh, God.
You know, the last thing I Googled was Hannah B. Rumors from Bachelorette.
Hannah B. Rumors.
Bachelorette, yes, yes.
I was watching Bachelorette last night and she closed it.
It was a pretty uneventful episode of Bachelorette.
You can kind of guess who's going to win.
Right.
Tyler C.
But at the end of the episode, it suddenly got really juicy and twisty.
And she was like, I know there's a lot of rumors out there about how the show ends,
but you guys have to tune in tomorrow night to see.
And it's taken me months to heal from this.
And I was like, whoa.
Whoa.
So you like rumors, rumors.
I know, but I don't know why I want – I don't want spoilers.
I just wanted to know what the theories are.
Right, right, right.
I was like, what are people – but then I started to read and I was like, you know what? It's just gonna ruin
tomorrow night. Are you a frequent Bachelorette
fan? I started ironically...
I started it like seven years ago. My
very first TV show that I ever wrote for
a lot of the writers, we would go to one of the writers
house and we would all sit and like put the captions
on, turn the volume down and kind of just
make jokes about it. And then
I fell in love with it and now it's no longer
ironic. Right.
Would they ever pull a fast one and have her say i it took me a long time to heal from this and then
nothing bad happened yes that's the thing is like i also watched the uk version of love island um i
watch really highbrow stuff i feel like i fit right in here um and uh but uh love island i feel like
is less manipulative, so you feel warmer
and cozier toward it. But Bachelorette can be very
like, she's screaming
at somebody, and to show
a teaser, like, Hannah B. loses it.
And then the next week, she's just screaming
at the television or something, and you're like,
what? You can't do that.
I just have her watching CNN during a Trump rally.
No! Are you kidding me?
It's like a turtle race.
You're breaking my heart! And she's like talking to
someone in traffic. I'm like, what are you
doing? So yeah, they do
that kind of stuff. And for
some reason, though, you still keep tuning in because
there's moments that are
to make it all worth it. Right.
Totally. Yeah.
What is something you think is overrated?
You know, it's funny.
I'm not on Twitter.
I'm not on Twitter.
And because I'm not on it, I'm like, it's probably not that cool.
Yeah.
But it's been years and years and years.
And there was like a window to get on it.
And I never did.
And I remember I went to like a comedy show and Sarah Silverman was talking about Twitter.
And she was like, you know, now it's not too late to join Twitter, guys.
This was like 10 years ago.
And she was like, can you do your obligatory tweet where you're like, is anyone out there?
Like tweet, tweet.
You know, like you do your first tweet.
And I was like, I could go home and I could start Twitter and I could do that first tweet that Sarah Silverman just gave me.
But I didn't.
And now it's just way too late.
I don't know if it is.
Do you think it's too late? I late. I don't know if it is. Do you think it's too late?
I mean, I don't know if it's – I don't even know if there's like a – I don't know what you'd be missing to even say that you're late would imply that you're missing out on something.
Right, right, right.
It's a very much – I don't know.
Like I think it's a double-edged sword to be honest.
Part of the time I like laugh at a lot of the stuff I see in there.
Half of the time I'm like cringing at half the shit I see on there.
Yeah. And, you know, social media can have an effect on you or like you really the interactions
like you'll really take on what how people are talking about something or talking to
you or about things you're involved in.
And I don't think that's necessarily healthy.
Oh, well, see, this is where my fucking whole Eminem monologue starts.
Please freestyle rap.
Yeah.
You know, you only get one shot for that first tweet.
For that first tweet, yeah.
Do not, Laura, miss your chance to blow.
But yeah, I think, part of me, I get why,
I don't think you're missing out on anything,
but if you want to participate in the hot take economy,
then sure.
So you never check Twitter then?
Is that what you're saying?
No, no, of course I look at it,
but I'm not out out here like debating people on it or like constantly having like a take on something that's on Twitter or whatever.
I maybe tweet like three times a week.
Yeah.
Realistic.
And then I usually just use it to interact with listeners.
Yeah, yeah.
And like people get their news from it.
Yeah, but I think for comedians it's different because a lot of people like by building a following on Twitter, that helps a lot for exposure. And I get it for from it. Yeah, but I think for comedians, it's different because a lot of people, like by building a following on Twitter,
that helps a lot for exposure.
And I get it for that purpose.
Yes, it helps people get writing jobs.
It helps people in so many ways.
But you have your own writing job.
I'm like, I'm fine, Twitter.
No, no.
Oh, Twitter for struggling writers.
No, no, I'm not a monster.
No, of course not.
I just not I just
I just
but I would think that
like insecurely
every staffing season
I would be like
oh god
like
I'm gonna lose this job
to someone with a huge
Twitter following
I gotta get a Twitter following
but I never did
but now on Instagram
they'll post
you know
tweets
screencast of tweets
yeah
so I feel like I get
like the juicy
like the good ones
yeah the funny ones and then I don't have to skim through I feel like I get like the juicy like the good ones yeah the funny ones
and then I don't have to
skim through all the like
hateful like
you know racist ones
which is nice
that is very typical
typical fair on Twitter
what is something you think
is underrated
I mean I feel like
you know therapy
maybe
okay
like I feel like
I'm always surprised
when people like still
are like no I've never
been to therapy and I'm like what like I don't I don't I feel like I'm always surprised when people like still are like, no, I've never been to therapy.
And I'm like, what?
Like, I don't, I don't, I know.
Everyone, everyone should, all ages, everyone should be like looking inward and exploring themselves.
And I only say that because it's been so life-saving for me in so many ways.
So many different forms of therapy have been so life-saving for me.
But now in this modern age when people say like, yeah, I've never read ahelp book i've never been to therapy i'm like wow not in the judgmental way
just in a like almost like i'm in awe of them because i wouldn't be able to like walk around
you know and i think well even figuring out access to it is the probably the hardest part
the barrier to entry yes and luckily there are a lot of places that'll have like sliding scales
for whatever your income is to actually be able to do that.
Yes.
To participate and interact with a therapist.
And I have friends in Florida who are like, you know, lower income and, you know, so they're finding it.
They're finding ways to figure it out.
They're finding, yeah, it does exist out there.
And yeah, start off with a self-help book.
Shit.
Yeah.
Because that might even jar your whole shit.
I mean, that's how I even realized.
I'm like, oh, yeah, like this book is opening up my like introspective side. And I'm like, oh. A hundred percent. I got a lot of how I even realized. I'm like, oh yeah, this book is opening up my introspective
side and I'm like, oh. 100%.
I got a lot of shit I need to dismantle. And they're so
taboo, especially for men to have self-help
books on your shelf. It's like, I'm not crazy.
Yeah, I was going to say, self-help is definitely
something that I have underrated.
Can you give me a good self-help book?
Oh my God.
I mean, gosh. You're Screwing It Up,
Idiot is a good one. Oh yeah? No. You, God. Just screwing it up, idiot, is a good one.
Oh yeah?
No.
You dumb bitch.
It depends.
You dumb bitch. Listen up, you dumb bitch.
I'd probably read that.
Deepak Chopra is so deep.
I'm still not, like I picked,
I bought a couple of Deepak Chopra books
and I tried to read them and I was like,
that was like 10 years ago.
And now I'm going back and like rereading,
like picking those books up again. And I think you need to and I was like, that was like 10 years ago. And now I'm going back and like rereading, like picking those books up again.
And I think you need to like learn like a basics, like spiritual self-help language.
And then you can, because I tried to read Power of Now 10 years ago, couldn't understand anything he was talking about.
It's like Eckhart Tolle.
And then I picked it up recently and I was like, oh, I understand.
Like I'm learning now what this language is.
Yeah, pair that with A New World, the follow-up book to The Power of Now
with anecdotes from that.
But yeah, I think it's...
Marianne Williamson,
Return to Love,
you could read.
I know, that's the second time
I've heard somebody
who's not...
That means that like
the universe is trying
to get you to read it.
Getting me to read it.
It's a message.
Because I had,
after her performance
in the debate,
I was assuming that
her work would be
not serious. But I've heard serious, smart was assuming that her work would be not serious, but I've heard serious,
smart people say that her book is great.
She's amazing.
I was really shocked that she said she was writing
for president because it seems like you have to have
a certain level of like...
Policy know-how.
Yeah, or like nastiness even.
Right.
And she's so like, you know, she's sort of soft
and into the self-love stuff.
Before you do that, Jack, like Marianne Williamson does at all her live shows, you should apologize to the people of color in this room for the transgressions that America has committed.
Oh, yeah.
She really wants everyone to do that.
I know.
I was like reading.
I think we should.
Have you seen that clip?
Yeah.
I love that.
She says it in her book.
I was listening to her book in my backyard on audio tape.
And it's like self-love and, you know, forgiving yourself and da da da.
And then it's like, and we should all apologize to people of color in this country.
I was like, whoa.
It's a great way to like screen white people.
Because if it's if you're a white person who's like, no, what?
Why would I need to?
I didn't do it.
Then you're like, oh, OK, you're a fucking monster.
I wasn't here for that.
Right.
Exactly.
And it's not even that you're apologizing personally, just acknowledging the
power dynamic and the history
of oppression. And you're saying, yes, that's
terrible and I see you. And it's
groundbreaking. She said that and I was like,
oh my god. It's funny to see the clips
of it live when they're like, are there
any African Americans in the audience
that are willing to participate? Oh my god.
And they're like, can you please stand now for
all the white participants? Please embrace them if the person is willing to be touched. Right. And my God. And they're like, they're like, can you please stand now for all the white participants?
Please embrace them.
If the person is willing to be touched.
Right.
And tell them like,
and it was like,
wow.
Okay.
Okay, sister.
Yeah.
Hey,
I mean,
I gotta love it.
Someone's out there doing that.
It's amazing.
I will read that and report back.
Yes.
And apologize.
And I do apologize.
Thank you.
He'll have mad crystals on next week.
What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false okay oh i have a good myth actually that i heard in a writer's room i don't know if i should be
spreading this this is insane the myth is and i don't know this to be false it just sounds like
too much work is that Bradley Cooper has a sex device
in his house
that lowers him down
onto his mates.
What?
The best thing
I've ever heard.
There was a morning
discussion about this
and there was a writer
who was like,
I'm telling you,
I know for a fact.
So like Tom Cruise
in Mission Impossible?
Yeah, it's like an apparatus
that lowers him down
onto his mates and it's something about
like everything feeling less shameful
if he's just like lowered
I can't even do this justice
but I feel
like I could say on record I know
that not to be true just because like
no he doesn't you know
but that is such a great myth
yeah
but where did that even come from
that someone goes
we should spread that
yeah like I'm telling you
he has an apparatus
in his house
that's one of them
to be lowered down
that's kind of interesting
I'm just trying to think
of how that works
yeah because I guess
the idea was like
it's almost like
the sheet
you know like
sex through a sheet thing
like you're not really touching
so I think the idea
is that like just his penis drops.
There's like a single point of contact.
Yeah.
And there's no other touching.
Assuming he's having sex with a woman that he would, the position, it couldn't just be,
you can be air dropped in on permission.
No, it would be difficult for the woman.
Yeah.
You'd have to be some kind of yoga headstand or something.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, I think if you're a woman or a man, and the talk was that it's both sexes, the
apparatus is-
Applies to anyone.
He's pleasing everyone with this apparatus.
Right.
Of course he is.
Or no one.
Right.
But the talk is, we talked a lot about that.
Like, how would you position yourself so that someone could just lower down on you?
To airdrop a penis in from on high.
I mean, anytime sex involves diagramming, you're doing something right.
Yeah.
Or a release.
It's very sexy.
Like an indemnification agreement.
Right.
Like, if this shit breaks
and you get hydraulic fluid all over you
and you're burned.
That's bad.
That's on you.
And just the sound of the machine
feels like it would hurt the mood.
Yeah.
She's like, Bradley, the harness hit my head.
And he's like, you know what it was
when you signed up.
Right.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
It's like a gas-powered machine.
It's like belching it off.
He's like, go to the furnace.
Get the bellows going.
100%.
It's my steampunk fuck apparatus.
And it's also like who built it and what did you tell them it was for?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, there's plenty of people who are like, yeah, yeah, what you want?
Whatever, I got you.
You want the Ethan Hunt airdrop dick machine?
That's actually, like who builds the sex dungeons?
Because I know in Hollywood there's a lot of sex dungeons.
And who's building them and how do they advertise?
I have a friend who moved into a house in Louisville, Kentucky.
And after like a week found a really like-
False room kind of thing?
Yeah, false room sex dungeon.
Yeah, they're everywhere.
And it wasn't listed?
Somebody needs to write the definitive, no.
Oh, wow.
That would add value.
I mean, on the listing.
Right, yeah, no.
But it could freak me out.
It's 1,800 square feet, three plus three,
with a full-on sex dungeon.
It's a blimp hanger.
But somebody needs to write
the definitive history of sex dungeons
I think. I think we gotta get it all
out in the open. Yeah, I'm sure our listeners
know. I bet you one of our listeners is
writing that book. Yeah, do it.
In their sex dungeon. Right. Does it have to be
a dungeon? Why does it have to be a dungeon?
It's always about domination and shit.
I think that's a good point though. It then implies
that it's like naughty, negative, bad, right?
Like the word dungeon.
I want to reclaim the word dungeon.
Yes.
Or we call it like a sex closet or something.
I mean, Dungeon Family gave us Goody Mom and Outcast.
I mean, that's pretty fucking, pretty good.
Hey, that's a really good point.
So I'm going to guess based off that the origin is in Atlanta, Georgia.
Yes, for sure.
Solved.
Do you think that was a sex dungeon reference?
The first sex dungeon was in the Varsity.
But do you think the dungeon family was like a sex dungeon reference?
No, I think they're just thinking of Dungeons and Dragons or something.
I'm from, in Florida, I'm from a town called Clearwater,
but there's like a littler town in Clearwater called Dunedin.
And for some reason, Dunedin became Dungeon.
And so it's like, welcome to the dungeon and the dungeon boys and the dungeon crew
and it's all based on.
What's the dungeon crew like?
Dungeon crew is fucking crazy.
Is it like a real gang
or is it like private school kids
who had a Corvette?
Well, there's no private school kids
in my orbit.
But the dungeon crew,
it's like, you know,
it's like southern,
sort of redneck-y,
no offense,
guys who like fish and like go to theedin Brewery and watch metal bands.
Any noodling?
You know what noodling is?
No.
Where people fish for catfish with their arms.
No.
Hillbilly hand fishing.
Isn't that a show?
I think so.
Hillbilly hand fishing.
There's some wild YouTube videos.
That's more hillbilly-y than the Dungeon of the Dead does.
Yo, there's one.
YouTube videos. That's more hillbilly-y than the Dungeon of the Dead does.
Yo, there's one. I was actually following a
noodling influencer. It was this woman
who just pulls
out the fucking 90-pound catfish.
Yeah. She very much
fits the Instagram profile
where she's cute and wears
pink camo. Yes. And then she
just hops off the boat and is just putting
her arm in. She's like, look at this shit I just pulled out.
And the guys in the comments are like, marry me. shit I just pulled out. And the guys are coming.
It's like, marry me.
But real quick, I want to talk about it.
So Bradley Cooper, we've talked before on this show
about how there are certain people who, for whatever reason,
have sexual urban legends about them.
Yeah.
Like Elton John got his stomach pumped,
or Rod Stewart was another one
had so much semen in his stomach
that he had to have it pumped
Richard Gere famously
Richard Gere has one
and we've always kind of both talked about
there's some currency that they must have
that we don't quite know what it is
but Bradley Cooper definitely has that
because that's not the first weird,
probably false sexual rumor that I've heard about Bradley Cooper.
People are just intrigued by the idea of Bradley Cooper having weird sex.
You know what?
Just let him live.
If he wants to airdrop his dick, do it.
100%.
As long as it's consensual, you can airdrop him to anything.
I like, though, that maybe this is the new semen pumped from the stomach rumor.
People are like, no, I though, that maybe this is the new semen pumped from the stomach rumor. Right.
People are like,
no, I actually heard that
about this person.
Right.
Like, wait, hold on,
are you talking about
the harness fuck?
The harness.
It's not Bradley Cooper.
You guys know Elton John
harness fucks too?
It's actually Gordon Ramsay.
You know Gordon Ramsay
harness fucks.
Gordon Ramsay would be
an amazing one.
All right,
we're going to take
a quick break

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?
Just come here and play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.
From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.
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.

and we're back and we're calling this uh segment things different people say different uh the most ineloquent way to possibly say that uh no there was a thread a couple days ago on twitter where
people say that the only well actually let actually, let's show Laura the photo.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, let me find this.
What do you call this?
I would call those glazed donut holes.
Okay.
Okay, yes.
Yeah.
You are correct.
Thank you.
Okay.
But I didn't realize, so people in the comments on Twitter, this is one of those amazing cultural
artifacts that you're missing not being on Twitter. This is one of those amazing cultural artifacts that you're missing
not being on Twitter.
Some people said
the only proper answer
is munchkins.
Munchkins.
Other people called them
timbits.
Yeah.
And beignets.
Beignets I get.
Right.
But a beignet
feels more specific to me.
Yeah, it's a little different.
You gotta get that
at the Cafe Du Monde.
You know what I mean?
Right.
With a little chicory coffee.
And get all that powdered sugar
all over your shit when you eat it and you look like you had either did a bunch Du Monde. You know what I mean? Right. With a little chicory coffee. And get all that powdered sugar all over your shit
when you eat it
and you look like you had
either did a bunch of cocaine
or you have terrible dandruff.
Right.
You know,
well,
actually,
I also want to ask you,
what do you call
a fizzy liquid
with a lot of sugar in it?
I say soda,
but I know about pop.
Is soda the standard
in clear water?
It's funny.
There's like, a lot of people florida is
very much like this melting pot of america um which is why i think america likes to make fun
of florida but really they're just making fun of themselves because florida's just like we're just
america um it's just people from all these different states that have like ended up in
florida so some of my friends had like you know kind of midwesterner accents and their their moms
did so that's how they talked even though they lived in Florida.
And they would pop.
They'd call it a trash like a bin
and they had those kinds of words.
We were trying to think of other ones because sneakers,
tennis shoes,
tennis,
but yeah, bin
and trash can.
You saw this and you're like,
what else are we getting wrong?
I also wanted it because I hadn't noticed that like I've lived in Columbia, Missouri in the last 10 years.
I've lived in New York and then out here.
And I feel like there's becoming sort of a homogenization of like everybody kind of dresses like they're from Brooklyn.
And everybody kind of because the Internet're from Brooklyn and everybody kind of,
because the internet is sort of flattening everything out.
So like everybody knows the same memes.
It's hard for stuff to happen in a vacuum.
Right.
So like will that get rid of things
like those cultural differences where people,
some people say pop, some people say Coke,
some people say soda.
Like will everybody just start saying soda like they should?
Oh, wow. like they should oh wow
like they should uh yeah you want a universal language that's what you want yes esperanto this
is like why i watch love island is because it's watching british people and their slang is
so different you said love island is like warmer is all brit is it like the british
baycock great british baycock yeah i think they're i think they have like like different manners i
think they're different with each other.
Yeah, and there are times when they're outraged
by another man's behavior,
like in a way you wouldn't see in American reality.
And there's times when two men are just like,
you're my brother, and I love you,
and they're like, I love you,
and they hug each other,
and they're constantly touching and hugging each other,
the men are, in a beautiful way.
And then I watched the American Love Island and the
contestants were very... They're much more like
self-aware. Like, oh God, it's bright in here.
These lights are bright. Oh my God, am I being interviewed? Weird.
And I'm like, guys, be like
British and soft. Yeah, well I think that's
a part of this country because
we export so much entertainment that
it enters people's
brains and they're already like,
I'm always living my life like I'm on a TV show
as it is.
So when I'm on one,
I'm going to really
fucking turn it on
because I have lost my humanity.
Yeah, yeah.
Agreed.
Yeah.
But they have great slang
on the Love Island show.
If you like different words
for stuff,
then watch Love Island.
Okay.
Yeah.
American men touch each other more.
I think we need more touching.
More love you.
Yeah. Jack, I love you. Loving your brothers. Yeah, you guys should kiss right now. He think we need more touching. More love you. Yeah.
Jack, I love you.
Loving your brothers.
Yeah, you guys should kiss right now.
He didn't look at me.
You see, he didn't look me in my eye.
I love you, Miles.
Yay!
Hold the eye contact.
Wow.
See, he blinked away.
Marianne Williams is here in spirit, and we are returning to love.
Apologize to me for slavery.
To half of me.
And then apologize to my other half for Japanese internment. And then apologize to half of me for slavery to half of me and then apologize to my other half
for Japanese internment
and then apologize
to half of me
for slavery
and then I'll apologize
to you my other half
alright that's a push
between you and me
yikes
alright
Alan Dershowitz
this New Yorker profile
that he has been
anticipating
and putting out
a preemptive debunking for. He's been like
writing op-eds and Newsmax. He's basically the one Democrat who you can find on Fox News
defending everything that Trump says. He's also OJ's lawyer. And this profile just,
he's also a Harvard law professor, a former Harvard law professor. And they just kind of paint this picture of a guy who is built purely to pursue fame. But he also seems to have this overall trend towards being an apologist for rapists, basically.
towards being an apologist for rapists, basically.
So he's defended Mike Tyson.
He obviously has been a huge public defender of Trump.
He was Epstein's lawyer for a long time and continues to be.
And he's also implicated in a bunch of the Epstein stuff.
Oh, okay.
There it is. I was like, hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So he's kind of losing it where he's claiming that he has all this information.
And then the New Yorker writer's like, you know we fact check stuff, right?
You can't just tell us.
You can't just.
But he's like, he constantly is talking about like, well, I got to win this.
I got to be tried in the court of public opinion.
And he has like a Trumpian view of the Court of Public Opinion, that
he can just lie enough times and say the same thing enough times.
He's like, nobody's ever been more innocent than me.
I have, it's amazing that they would say this about somebody with a perfect sexual record.
What the fuck is that?
He literally said that.
Perfect.
It gets, exactly.
It got to the point that, I just want to read this sentence from the profile.
At one point, Epstein reacted to Dershowitz's statements in the news by emailing a friend from prison.
Dershowitz is out of his mind.
So Epstein is like, man, that guy's really lost it.
Epstein is judging him.
Yes.
Cool.
Yeah.
lost it. Epstein is judging him.
Yes. Cool.
Yeah.
And then he was on Twitter the other day really self-owning
himself where people were like, check out
this op-ed Alan Dershowitz
wrote when he was like, the age of consent needs to
be 16 or something. And they're
like, oh, really? From the guy who has
accusations of
having sex with children?
And then he's like, well, the logic I was the logic I was using then and to this day stands is
that if you can have an abortion at that age, then you should be able to, then the age of
consent should also be that.
Yeah.
This is a longstanding like quote legal opinion that he holds that if somebody has gone through
puberty, they shouldn't, they shouldn't be like considered a child. I was 12 when I went through puberty, they shouldn't be considered a child.
I was 12 when I went through puberty.
Yeah, he thinks that then he should have been able to date you.
Oh, you never know.
Never say never.
Right.
Yeah, he seems like a pretty cool dude.
I'm sure he's very relaxed about whatever the coming months
are going to bring with this Epstein saga.
So one of the Epstein victims is taking him to court for defamation.
And there's going to be all these like documents that become public for,
you know,
discovery.
And he keeps being like,
I can't wait.
I'm,
I welcome this because then the truth is going to come out.
And the New Yorker looked into it and he's been trying to get the case
thrown out the whole time that he's been saying that in public.
Oh, God.
So, yeah.
Let's talk, though, about why Ilhan Omar is in trouble.
Oh, man.
We talked last week about, or no, that was this week maybe, I think, when Danielle Stella, her challenger, stepped on the scene.
Stella, her challenger, stepped on the scene, and we talked about her dedication to justice by shoplifting at Target and also being a really avid QAnon believer, supporter.
But we didn't really know much about her except her record.
But now we've not heard someone sort of coherently put together
a really good attack
against Ilhan Omar.
That wasn't just like recycled talking points
from right-wing Twitter.
So when you hear this, keep that in mind
because Ilhan... Pay attention to the content.
Yeah. Try not to be distracted.
I'm Danielle Stella
and I am representing Minnesota
in the 5th Congressional District against Ilhan Omar
in the upcoming 2020 election.
The biggest group that I'm going to be working with is the Millennials.
Nobody else in my district who's considering running wants to talk to Millennials.
I think President Trump is doing fantastic,
and I think we should all look at how great his turnout was at his Independence Day rally.
What's the worst thing Trump has done so far?
She asked what's the worst thing Trump has done.
And then just silence.
My least favorite about President Trump.
That's a good question.
Okay, we get it.
Now, look, I'm not trying to shade her for the way she speaks.
But when you have these people already trying to fucking get Ilhan Omar,
put her in danger with the shit that they're saying out loud on places like Fox and elsewhere.
Like, when I see these are the candidates that they're putting up,
I don't know if this woman is going to be the actual person
running against Ilhan Omar.
I don't know where that puts me.
It's really mind-boggling.
I love the felony.
I love that.
I like the stealing and the 279 items.
Yes.
We were debating, what do you think that was?
It's a perfect amount of items.
But what is 279?
What were there 279 of?
How were they small enough to be in one shopping cart?
That's what we were trying to figure out.
Yeah, that's so good.
But she only scanned like three things and then pushed the cart out?
Is that what she did?
Yeah, she did the scan and go.
Oh, like self-check her.
Oh my God, I really like her.
Well, you're really going to love her because then she took the fucking stage um at this free speech made me really fall in love with
her yeah she clearly went up there without like her only kind of preconceived thoughts were i've
seen what a political speech looks like in a movie. Right. And that was it.
And maybe some, yeah, maybe, I don't know,
what other MC, maybe a Flavor Flav video
of like a hype man on stage.
Yeah.
But she takes the stage and just,
just hear him, I don't know.
Our happy self, tell them who you're running against.
This is Danielle Stella.
Yes!
Hi, everyone.
I'm running against Emma Moore. And with me, I'm running against Ilhan Omar
and with me I have a friend
representing America!
We do not let her talk about
our country! We do not believe
that I run with some people who
did something. She is awful
and she needs to go. I love
America! I love the freedom of speech and I love
the Second Amendment and I love all of you!
We have strength and unity.
Our website is scholars2029.com.
You're going to learn more.
She has to be replaced, along with all the just Democrats.
I love you.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Does she like the other amendments, I wonder?
She didn't mention any other amendments.
There are other amendments?
She's like, I like these two.
Yeah.
I like these two.
That second amendment.
She sounds drunk.
I know.
I'm running a site.
And I don't believe 9-11, some people did something.
No.
And she's not going to let us talk about our country like that.
I don't think so.
We're going to get her out.
She's awful.
That's like what your friend says
when she's like,
you're being awful.
Right.
Who the fuck are you?
You're awful.
That's what would've been
the next part.
But yeah,
I,
yeah,
we'll see.
I would love to see them debate.
Yeah.
I,
I wouldn't
because,
no,
that would mean
it got too far.
Yeah.
Yeah. But it would be entertaining. Yeah, I hope, I have a feeling this isn't because... No, that would mean it got too far.
But it would be entertaining.
I have a feeling this isn't going to last,
but knowing how Twitter likes to just elevate people because they'll say some inflammatory shit
about a person on the left.
They're like, yeah, this is it.
Right.
Get her, Danielle.
Danielle Stella.
Oh, God, I want to have dinner with her, you know?
I do, too.
Yeah, I'm just glad inside there she has
she smiles a lot she seems like a like a pleasant like a pleasant person yeah to be around who's
just around a lot of fucking nonsense who's like oh okay these are the takes i'm going with yeah
q anon but who knows maybe she's one one of the things i'm thankful uh for q anon bringing into
our lives one of i think it's the only thing that i reason
i'm thankful for q and uh because it's it's allowed it's empowering people to us yeah uh
all right uh what's going on with trump and prescription prices miles it's the okay so the
the one thing that trump has said out loud that sounded reasonable and humane was like, we got to get prescription drug costs down.
Like, I was like, oh, shit.
I remember when that happened, we were like, wait, what?
Why is that?
But that's right.
And he's been saying that.
He's like, you know, we're going to get the cost of drugs down for seniors.
Right.
And I was like, OK.
And he has like a plan which isn't great but what he's
essentially trying to do is he wants to price a lot of drugs um for people using medicare to the
prices to be basically comparable to what other countries are paying for them right um so your
insulin isn't like 300 like it is here um and you know the thing thing that he's running up against is a yes, he has a lot of elderly people who are his base who would be like, yeah, like help me get my prescription drug costs down.
But the other side of it is he's a fucking Republican.
So that means big pharma has will have a fucking opinion on every single thing he does.
on every single thing he does.
And even though this plan he has only affects about 22% of the Medicare drug spending,
you have groups already coming out
like Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform
and the American Conservative Union
have been like so noisy
that they've been running all kinds of weird ads.
First of all, the White House had an official
named Joe Grogan, not Joe Rogan, Joe Grogan.
He addressed a bunch of these conservative groups.
He's taller than Joe Rogan.
Yeah.
Sounds like Joe Rogan trying to come up with a fake name.
And yes, sir.
What's your name?
Joe Grogan.
Grogan.
Yes.
That's Grogan.
He told that a lot of these conservative groups that said, like, shut the fuck up with all these like attacks you're trying to do because, quote, the president will not be outflanked on the left by on drug prices.
So which is weird.
He's like, we have to be woker than the left on drug spending.
That's going to be a tough position to pull off, man.
He's going to have to be pretty flexible.
Yeah.
OK, well, because of this, now you have groups like Americans for Tax Reform
running ads like this on Facebook. Now, listen to this. This is an ad
from right-wing interests on Facebook.
America will never be a socialist country.
Yes, Mr. President, stop socialist price controls on prescription drugs.
Act now at protectmypartb.org.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Socialist price controls?
So now they are basically running ads that are trying to frame this move as a socialist move.
And there are other ones that are also even trying to frame Trump as being socialist.
Or one ad compared him to being a Bernie bro.
So this is where they're kind of like they're using this book, this playbook now to be like,
OK, well, I guess how do we get Trump in check by calling him a socialist?
Wow.
It's very interesting.
I mean, this brings back to, you know, when he was running, he had a lot of economically
populist messages that if he had actually stuck to them,
he could have been really dangerous, like really could have started a movement.
Right, because he convinced these people who are like red meat racists to just be like,
yeah, fair tax code or like maybe my health care should be affordable.
Right.
You got hoodwinked.
And case in point, there's another Facebook ad that says,
deadly illnesses like cancer, Alzheimer's,
and heart disease are killing our family and friends.
But instead of helping American companies find a cure,
swamp senators like Democrat Ron Wyden
want to hit them with socialist price controls.
Oh my God, that's amazing.
So it's a very interesting time right now.
American companies and corporations, they just don't have enough rights.
They need to be honored more.
Thank God for Citizens United, man.
Because basically all they did was go into the Supreme Court and be like, don't I have rights?
They're like, you're right.
You're right, Pfizer.
You have rights.
You're important.
And you should be heard.
Yeah, man.
I mean, it'll be interesting to see.
My guess would be that he's going to cave on this because the way his political sort of his base has become, you know, use racism to get the, you know, blue collar workers in.
And then with actual policy, he gets like the support of like the rich people who don't who don't admit that they're voting for him.
That's why Ted Cruz is asking for like an emergency tax cut for the wealthy right now.
Is he really?
Like another 1%. It's fucking absurd.
Oh no, are they okay?
Yeah, exactly. Like, please, let's get our pitchforks out.
All right, we're going to take another quick break and we'll be right back.

Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
And Old Town Road, we talked about it when it first started flying up the charts with the controversy over whether it was a rap song or a country song,
whether it belonged on the country charts.
it was a rap song or a country song, whether it belonged on the country charts.
It has now been number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the longest.
17 weeks.
17 weeks in a row.
Yes.
It's overtaken Mariah Carey's One Sweet Day.
With Boyz II Men.
Wow.
It's unbelievable.
And Despacito, the Bieber, Daddy Yankee song. I'm surprised to hear that Despacito was like,
I mean, I know people liked it,
and I know that it was global,
but I didn't realize it was record-breaking.
Well, yeah, I think that one proved that it's like,
yo, this can be global,
and you can dominate the charts with its global appeal.
And then Old Town Road was like,
you want to see a meme?
Blow the fuck up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then kids love it, though, too.
It's genius.
I don't know.
I'm really excited
about this
and I'm very
it's nice to see
Nas get his time
Lil Nas X
Nas here
yeah yeah yeah
Nas from Queens Bridge
okay
yeah not Nas
Nasty Nas
to Escobar
and then
it's Nostradamus
that album
was so bad
it's the most
disappointed I've ever
that was on I Am right where he's got like the pharaoh yeah the most disappointed I've ever heard.
That was on I Am, right?
Where he's got like the pharaoh garb on.
Yeah, the pharaoh garb.
I jammed out to that album.
I didn't know what was good or bad.
I know.
It had good tracks on it.
I listened to it like a hundred times.
Of course.
Was it the one where the bullet goes backwards from somebody's body,
like back into the gun?
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, I think that was.
But yeah, there was some...
The Tell Your Bodyguards
Uchiwale verse
is better than yours.
Uchiwale.
But this had Nas' like
on there too
and Hate Me Now.
Nas is like,
oh no, that's a fantastic album.
That's a classic album.
You can hate me now.
But I won't stop.
Yeah, okay.
We digress hard.
But back to...
Because I think, you know,
it's interesting with this hit,
it kind of shows
you how the internet really can like democratize an industry in a way because Nas was just,
he was making memes before this and then was like, I really want to get this song to pop
and was just using social media to try and get it to catch on.
And now look at where he's at.
Yeah.
It's so catchy.
And I understand why kids like it because they can understand the lyrics.
They're like, I know what a horse is.
I know what a road is.
You know, like they feel connected to it.
I think the biggest crossover.
Got it.
Old Town Road.
Wait, Mom, what's Lean?
Forget that part.
Shut up.
It's a crossover between country and rap,
but it's also a crossover between grown-up music and kids' music.
Yeah.
It's like a Pixar movie.
It's like
bringing enemies together, right?
Grown-ups and kids.
And then, yeah, country and rap. It's great.
It's good for the world.
I'm just thinking, man, I really loved One Sweet Day.
I didn't realize that that was
that much of a hit, but that shows you how
powerful those R&B ballads could be
in the 90s. my god in that voice
when was the last time
we had like a ballad
like that really
well cause we don't have
right now
like do we have
like a Whitney or a Mariah
where like this person
is almost like a freak show
their voice is so good
Adele is kind of like that
I mean I feel like
she's the closest person
who would do a song like that
yeah
Gaga will do like
more poppy stuff
right
yeah Gaga might be
able to do it
but we don't see her do it.
But not a song like One Sweet Day.
Like that's a very specific.
Those notes.
The bygone era, man.
Was that like a live song?
Was that off of a live album?
The One Sweet Day?
Was that Butterfly?
I think that was on Butterfly,
but I don't know.
I don't know.
And that was bringing two,
like that was bringing Boyz II Men
at their height.
Oh, that was the Boys to Men crossover.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
When you look at basically everything else that held over 13 weeks,
it was Despacito and One Sweet Day were tied at 16 weeks.
Then Uptown Funk, 14 weeks.
I got a feeling.
It was 14 weeks by Black Eyed Peas.
We Belong Together, Mariah Carey, 14 weeks.
Oh, my God.
Candle in the Wind, 14 weeks.
Oh, nice.
The Fucking Macarena.
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
And I'll Make Love to You, 14 weeks.
Yes.
And I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston, 14 weeks.
Damn.
Wow, so it really is those love ballads.
The Quiet Storm.
Yeah.
Did you guys have Joe Mama Johnson's Quiet Storm?
No.
Or was that just me what is it it
was like joe mama johnson's quiet story like a fm radio thing yeah it was like i think it was
sunday nights and it was like for horny like tweens oh really yeah it's my friends and i it
was like t-shirt in my panties on like those kinds of songs right right right right and he would just
and he talked so low and he was so sexual and i didn't i don't know what he looks like but i
imagine he's like a human slug what is his name joe mama johnson like he sounded so low and he was so sexual. And I don't know what he looks like, but I imagine he's like a human slug.
What is his name?
Joe Mama Johnson?
Joe Mama Johnson.
Like he sounded so hot, which makes me think he has to not be because it's radio.
That sounds so much better than what I had, which was Delilah.
Did you guys have that?
Oh, yeah.
Delilah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's just like really wholesome talking to people about their heartbreak.
Yeah.
Oh, you don't want to see Joe Mama Johnson.
Oh, is he not what I want him to be?
If you were a horny tween and you knew that this dude was on the other side, you would
call the cops on yourself.
I need to see it.
I need to see it.
I need to know the truth.
Joe Mama Johnson.
Oh, wow.
He looks like my grandpa.
He looks like a busted pastor.
He does.
He looks like a broke down pastor.
He's got the five button suit on.
Oh my God.
But hey, I got horny for his voice
and I will say it here recorded forever.
Was it just super, it was just bassy as fuck?
It was just deep and bassy and he's like,
and to all you lovers out there,
and always playing like all the Boyz II Men's,
but the horny songs.
Right, right, right.
Really, really as horny as you can get.
Right.
I'll make love to you as opposed to
it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
No, no love songs.
It's all fuck jams.
And we would listen to them
when we were like 12.
And you know.
Right.
Some of my friends
were sexually active then
in the dark turn of events.
Yeah.
Because they hung out with Epstein
and it's a whole thing.
Yeah.
No.
You did live in Florida.
I know.
Well, sometimes like
if you Google Florida girls,
which I do all the time.
Google alerts.
There's a lot of dark headlines.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Florida as a modifier to any Google search is never going to get you the thing I think you're looking for.
Right.
Yeah.
It's funny when you bring up Joe Mama Johnson because there was a guy named Theo on the radio when he used to be 92.3 The Beat in L.A.
And he was like super smooth.
And I was like, oh, Theo's fucking dope.
He's like, he's this black dude who like gets it.
He was Asian.
Oh, really?
Yeah, and I remember being like, whoa.
Oh, that's cool.
Shout out to Theo.
Representation.
Yeah.
But he was like, that was the voice too.
And it was pre-internet.
So you had to fucking go to like a radio event
to see Theo in person.
Right, right.
Because you couldn't just Google that shit. How do people know stuff? pre-internet so you had to fucking go to like a radio event to see theo in person right because
you couldn't just google that shit right how did people know stuff i mean i know i my generation
was like pre-internet but like still i don't remember knowing anything you know how i found
out i saw his headshot at a dry cleaner in la oh and i was like what i'm like that can't be theo
but then it had the logo for 92.3 the beat on it right Right. And I was like, that's Theo? That blew your mind.
Yeah.
Did that make you feel like, you're like, I can do anything in my life?
No, Tiger Woods made me feel like I could.
Oh, yeah.
And I was terrible at golf.
Could not do it.
But you still glued a club to your hand?
Yeah, and I said my dad did it.
And he was like, no, he did it himself.
Was that like a groundbreaking thing for you, Tiger Woods?
Because it's like seeing yourself.
Yeah, him and Blade.
It's your specific mix too, which is like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that black and Asian for sure.
Yeah.
But now I feel really good because I see people like Naomi Osaka.
Yeah.
And like Rui who's playing for the Wizards.
And I'm like, yeah, look at us.
Look at the black and these coming up.
The black and these.
I know.
It's funny being mixed races.
Like my race is mixed race.
Right, right.
When I meet a mixed race person, I'm like, you understand me.
We're the same race.
Exactly.
But that's the only people I understand.
We have trouble fitting in.
Yeah.
We're different.
But then we get over it through therapy and we're like, we are who we are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I don't need someone else to approve my identity.
Exactly.
You read some Marianne Williams.
Yeah.
Well, I'm sorry.
Like I mentioned.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you. I apologize. Thank you and I am sorry. You love me and I'm sorry as well. I love you. Thank you. Eye Williams. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, thank you.
I apologize.
Thank you, and I am sorry,
and I'm sorry as well.
I love you.
Thank you.
Eye contact?
Great.
Okay.
Checked in.
We're checked in.
Little Nas X's career,
I don't think he's going to have
a huge recording career.
I don't think he's going to have
a bunch of hit songs,
but I think he's going to have a career.
I just don't know what it's going to be.
Don't people like Panini or no?
It's good. I don't think the what it's going to be. Don't people like Panini or no? It's good.
I don't think the
what is it, an LP technically
as a whole is that great.
Or EP rather. It's seven tracks.
I like three
out of the seven.
But I mean, hey, you're not, he's just
starting out. He's young.
It makes me think like, geez, Cardi B is kind of like
incredible, you know? Oh my god. Because that was somebody where she had that song that everyone was talking about and then
she then released an album and it was like this song this song yeah all of them are good yeah
jesus i have a feeling like he could just be a brand consultant right that's what i'm wondering
like that's what seems like his real uh genius is in like identifying like a trend or creating a
trend more than like being like through my music i'm crazy he's like no right i think this will real genius is in identifying a trend or creating a trend.
Yeah.
More than being like, through my music, I'm creating.
He's like, no, I think this will fucking get cracked.
It'll be like Kanye without the music or mental illness.
Right.
Or the MAGA shit.
Right.
Or the MAGA shit.
Well, that's the mental illness.
Oh, yeah.
It'll be interesting.
I think this kid's going places, guys.
That's what I'm saying.
What do you predict?
10 years.
Set a timer.
How old is he?
Reddit, set a reminder.
Do we know what his current age is?
10 years, he'll be 26.
Oh my God, he's a child.
Oh no.
I actually don't know.
I think he's still a teenager though.
Oh my God.
He is 20.
He turned 20 in April.
He was born on April 9th, 1999.
I gotta get started doing stuff. Yeah. This is one thing you can miss. You was born on April 9th, 1999. I got to get started doing stuff.
Yeah.
This is one thing you can miss.
You may have missed out on Twitter,
but if you're trying to get on this Old Town Road wave
or something like it.
I got to start some kind of Old Town Road thing.
Yeah.
So yeah, in 10 years, 30.
I got to start some sort of Old Town Road thing.
It's such a great just...
Damn, man.
I got to start something on Old Town Road.
I feel like that's a pitch an uncle would give me
or something.
Why don't you start
one of those
Old Town Road things?
Or that's how kids
in their first year
of business school,
what we need
is an Old Town Road
type idea.
100%.
That's what happens
in this town
any time a show does well.
They're like,
you know what we need
is a big little live.
We need Florida girls.
What about Nevada guys?
Oh, I'd watch that.
Yeah, I'd watch that.
I don't know if I would.
Well, it's about to come around
because people just do nothing.
The UK show
is taking place in Vegas
and it'll be kind of
adjacent to that.
That could be cool.
A Vegas show I'd be down for.
Yeah, where it's about
like struggling EDM DJs.
Really?
Yeah, in fucking Las Vegas.
Because like,
if you've seen the UK version,
it's about garage music and pirate radio,
but they're just trying to find the analog
is in Vegas with club dancing and shit.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
I would watch that once, I think.
Yeah, a lot of times.
All right, let's talk about one of the all-time great
Hall of Fame performances from a corporation.
Capital One released, I guess it was like a press
release yesterday, where they announced that some of their customers had been compromised. Keep in
mind, this is the brand that had the whole thing about how if you have any other card in your
wallet, you are going to get murdered by Vikings murdered by vikings but if you have capital one
you know the the barbarians will be stopped at the gate no wasn't it more like they were so like
they were doing like refined things because they had capital one they're like they were wild and
was like but we can go to fucking you know vacation or something oh i think that's how it ended
actually that's how that's what because it, yeah, the Vikings didn't disappear.
They just suddenly became tamed by Capital One.
Yeah, and the fun part is like,
look at this sloppy Viking talk about this crudité.
Right.
Was that the Game of Thrones guy?
Was he playing the Viking?
He might have been.
Okay, because I think, yeah.
Did he get a start like that?
No, I think he was a wildling first,
and then he got the Capital One commercials as a Viking.
I think it's him. Wow. I know he plays a Viking on a commercial. I just don and then he got the Capital One commercials as a Viking. I think it's him.
Wow.
I know he plays a Viking on a commercial.
I just don't know if it's Capital One or not.
Huh.
Yeah.
We all need our start.
It's the charming wildling, America's sweetheart wildling.
Exactly.
I don't know his name.
But it was Alec Baldwin, then Sam Jackson.
It's been everyone.
It's been everyone.
But all this to say, a breach has occurred.
Yeah.
It's been everyone.
But all this to say, a breach has occurred. Yeah, so a breach has occurred, and they went about it in the most just, I don't know, backhanded.
If you really distill it to what happened, there was a massive security breach.
They were hacked, and a lot of social security numbers and bank accounts were leaked, or someone was able to access all that.
And they tried to break it like it was good news.
This is how the press release reads.
Keep in mind, this is an announcement saying,
we got hacked and a bunch of sensitive information breached.
And it's so wordy.
It's like me getting in trouble and then coming home to my mom.
Based on our analysis to date,
this event affected approximately 100 million individuals in the United States
and approximately 6 million in Canada.
Importantly, no credit card account numbers or login credentials were compromised,
and over 99% of social security numbers were not compromised.
So...
Then it goes on.
You don't need to read the rest of this.
But even in the beginning, they said,
It was determined that there was an unauthorized access by an outside individual
who obtained certain types of personal information relating to
people who had applied for its credit.
It's like you got hacked, motherfucker, and you got a bunch of information leaked.
Beyond the credit card application data, the individual also obtained portions of credit
card customer data, including customer status data, et cetera.
Fragments of transaction date.
No bank account numbers or social security numbers were compromised.
Oh, thank God.
Comma.
Other than about 140,000 social security numbers of our credit card customers,
about 80,000 linked bank account numbers of our secured credit card customers.
For our Canadian credit card customers, approximately 1 million social insurance numbers were compromised in this incident.
This is why it's not good to brag.
Because if they hadn't bragged about,
we're the safest,
then this would be fine.
You'd be like, okay,
you're doing your best,
and this happened.
To say no bank account
or social security numbers
were compromised
other than the social security card.
What?
Other than 140,000 of you.
I guess there really isn't art
when you're doing PR
and having to do damage control on this.
You gotta be so fucking obscure and cloudy with your language.
But this is not art.
They fucked this up.
They look like such assholes.
I think it works, though.
Well, not that it looks good.
It's just like, what the fuck?
It works a lot of the time just saying to someone,
this is what actually happened.
People are like, okay.
See, nothing was leaked other than these things that were leaked.
Right, and then people go, oh, okay.
Oh, but nothing was leaked.
Yeah, other than those things that were leaked. Okay. And then people go, oh, okay. Nothing was leaked. Yeah, other than those things that were leaked.
Okay, great. Nothing was leaked.
Okay, bye.
Yeah, nothing was leaked. Bye.
What's in your wallet? Now they fucking
know. Right. They're like, what's in your wallet,
motherfucker?
I just got internet scammed in a really
dark way on Facebook.
Not my bank account, thankfully,
but on Facebook I got a message from
someone named Pembroke Chin, who's in my family. And at the photo of him, he looked very much like
in my family, on my dad's side. And I front requested him. I accepted the request and we
started chatting. And I know the name and I'm like, I think he's like my great uncle or something.
So we start talking and he's like, oh, I'm happy you accepted my friend request. I'm like, I think he's like my great uncle or something. So we start talking. And he's like, oh, I'm happy you accepted my friend request.
I'm like, of course.
Like, duh, duh, duh.
I didn't know you were on here.
He's like in his 70s.
And we're talking for a while.
And then I randomly was talking to my dad.
And I was like, you know who friend requested me is Pembroke.
And my dad was like, Pembroke?
And I'm like, yeah.
And he's like, Pembroke died, honey.
Oh, no.
And I'm like, no, because we've been talking talking and I sent my dad a link to the guy and
he was like no he died in January and I'm like I'm talking to someone who hacked my great uncle's
account and then I went back on and the guy started the conversation started to shift into
like have you seen this like global fund thing and like would you want to be a contributor and yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so did you contribute obviously yeah i mean the
guy needed money the guy needed money so badly that he pretended to be my dead great uncle wow
i know it's dark but like beginning was like nice pleasantries as if it was your uncle
this particular uncle had like a very like a very colorful life. There was drugs and da-da-da and stuff.
So it was like a little, it sounded a little like, in hindsight, they were foreign.
Right.
They were clearly foreign.
But to me, I was just like, he's older.
He's probably high.
He's an old guy.
He's probably high.
Yeah, he's been through stuff.
But now I read it.
I'm like, oh, no, this is not an American.
Good day to you, niece.
Hope God is with you in your heart.
M. Pembroke, your uncle.
Shout out to Pembroke Chin, though.
I know.
What a, just the small details that we've gotten so far.
What an interesting dude.
Yeah, he's great.
Scamming from beyond the grave.
R.I.P., yeah.
R.I.P.
All right, and real quick, speaking of scams,
we do want to talk about a ProPublica report that highlights a really shitty loophole that some of the richest families in Illinois are exploiting to get your child in their junior and senior year. You basically say,
we want to grant guardianship to this other family friend or cousin. That way the child,
the minor can declare themselves financially independent, which now allows them to receive
federal, state, and university assistance. Right. Wow. And this is some of the rich.
I mean, it's in, you know, they're not saying the richest of the rich, but definitely like suburbs where people are not struggling by any means or by any stretch of the imagination.
So of like they said, they found more than 40 guardianship cases fitting this profile that were filed between January of last year and June of this year in the Chicago suburbs of Lake County alone. And the parents involved in these cases included lawyers,
a doctor, an assistant school superintendent,
insurance agents, real estate agents,
and the children of high-achieving scholars,
athletes, and musicians who attended
or have been accepted to a wide range of universities.
Yeah.
Man, that's pretty standard for America.
Oh, hell yeah.
Rich people find ways to get out of paying anything.
To never pay for shit.
Yeah.
And now they need an emergency tax cut.
Right.
I hope they're going to get it.
I know.
I mean, look, their kids, they're having to abandon their children so they can be financially independent,
so they can be a doctor and have to pay less or something, whatever it is.
Now, I think, you know, what's funny or what's not funny, what's
lame about this, what's fucked up about this is like
guardianship petitions
themselves are very useful
and can typically be the only thing that
will help someone out of a really bad situation.
So for them to go on and do this
is just such a smack in the face. And when
ProPublica looked at where a lot of these kids were living
and what their situation was,
nearly all of them were still living at home.
They just legally changed who their guardian was and they were still getting their bills paid.
And then what happened was like this administrator who contacted ProPublica was like,
when I noticed this, like, you know, what happened was one student or this administrator got a call from a high school and said,
I have an incoming freshman that's going to the low income student orientation.
They're like, why is that? And they're like, oh, they're because of this, this and this. And the
counselor was like, oh, that's not true. And they're like, what? So then they started looking
into it and realizing all these weird discrepancies. And then when they would tell some of the students
like, hey, you know, actually, after reviewing your application, we're actually going to cut
back some of your assistance. None of them push back. And of them push back and they're like and they're
like and that's when we knew because people who have their financial aid cut they will come in at
the very least to try and discuss it and most were like oh okay wow they're like you caught me so now
the interview process they'll say they'll be like who pays your cell phone bill yeah like who you
live with yeah and they're like because wait oh but're, and they'll just find another loophole.
Yeah,
exactly.
Yeah.
Like just paying people.
Yeah.
So,
but this was sort of like the beta version of the operation of varsity blues.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice.
And if we don't know the answer, we bring in people who do,
like negotiation expert Maury Tahiripour.
If you start thinking about negotiations as just a conversation, then I think it sort of eases us a
little bit. Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports. Up first, I explore
the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
People are talking about women's basketball
just because of one single game.
Clark and Reese have changed the way
we consume women's basketball.
And on this new season,
we'll cover all things sports and culture.
