Starting point is 00:07:06 mommy's dad believe what is everybody like does anybody believe that we just come back like that all they want to talk about is the afterlife wow like you guys are freaking me the fuck out stop it yeah some spooky ass kids jack but it but it makes sense to me. If my brain hadn't been, if I hadn't done the work of blocking that out with just TV and alcohol for many years, that's all I would think about as well. So, Mohanad, where are you coming to us from? I'm in New York City right now. Brooklyn, New York. I've heard of it.oklyn yeah yeah yeah it's it's been around yeah brooklyn for a little while brooklyn yeah yeah uh if i was to ask you you know because i may be coming to new york in a couple months and i've been to new york a lot
Starting point is 00:07:58 but i always like to get get the locals recommendations what's uh what's your favorite what's your favorite food spot what's your favorite food spot? What's your favorite food spot in Brooklyn that you would take a brother to? You know what? There's a place called Home Fright that I keep ordering from. It's a burger place and I think it's the best I've ever had.
Starting point is 00:08:18 There's also Yemen Cafe, which I highly recommend. I've been to that place maybe 20 times so far. Yeah, I'm their main source of revenue, I'd say. I love it. I love it. I'm going to give them some coin. I'm going to give them some coin then when I get there.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Super producer Becca, who Zay Gang knows from training episodes, just found out about that. She's going to try it out. She's also in Brooklyn. So how long have you been in Brooklyn? Because I know you were in Portland at one point. Is that right? Yeah. I was in Portland and then I moved to New York in October of 2019, which if you ask me, perfect timing to move to New York City.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Nailed it. Yeah. Really nailed it. Yeah. A good five months there of being outside. It's all I needed, really. A good five months there of being outside. It's all I needed, really. All right. Well, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about. We're going to talk about another one of those things that I would only talk and think about if I was just allowed myself to be, like, just let myself go and just thought and talked
Starting point is 00:09:24 about the things that i'm curious about and want to know about which is ufos it's kind of a big question are we alone are what what the fuck is all that stuff that we keep seeing that the that the top gun people keep seeing because all those videos are from naval aviators so it's they left that out of top gun too all the ufo sightings but we're going to talk about because nasa is joining the hunt for ufos in a way that like in theory promising to have somebody officially like bring back information on this subject that isn't part of the military industrial complex but on the other hand they have given it the whopping budget of a hundred thousand dollars that's when you look at like what government budgets are like i think that
Starting point is 00:10:16 might be the lowest budget i've ever heard of for anything that's like saying bro they give black people more than that that's insane so we're gonna talk about that we're gonna talk about hollywood coming out with a strong blame hollywood stance on gun violence uh which just misguided but i don't know i think there's a way they can correct themselves here. So we'll talk about that. All of that, plenty more. But before we get to any of it, Mohanad, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Oh, I literally, I looked it up right now on my Google. And most of the questions I have are related to cats. Okay. Yeah. my google and most of the questions i have are related to cats okay what yeah one of them is
Starting point is 00:11:05 just like can cat drink cow milk and then do my cat how do i know that my cats love me it's truly so pathetic that i'm looking at it now uh that i'm just looking at my cats and just trying to read their minds and make sure that they continue to be alive and other than that the third search is the thing I have is my own name. There you go. I don't know what that says about me. No, no, no. It says you're normal, man.
Starting point is 00:11:31 It says that's what we all do. I Google my name every couple weeks probably. I don't know. You just got to see what the streets are talking about. I get that. True, true. Yeah. You got to see what the streets are talking about.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I get that. True. True. Yeah. Yeah. It's usually nothing, but I'm just like, I just keep going at it. Maybe I'll find something. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Maybe you'll find out something. You're on page seven of the Google results. You're like, ooh. This is where they got me. We're making progress. Yeah. Exactly. We're making progress. Have you ever Googled your name and then so like
Starting point is 00:12:07 unless you have like a straight up wikipedia but like generally like people within the industry who don't have wikipedia's have some type of like wiki something like depending on where you are or what you do and some of them are legit you know depending on what it's from but then there will be some of them where they're clearly written from people from another country uh just riddled 100 and the most inaccurate fucking information but those are like some of my favorite ones because it'll say i had one it was like jacquise neal is of amazing stature uh I was like, oh, thank you. I'm only 5'8", but I'll take amazing stature. And then it was like algorithmically generated text. Yeah, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:12:54 And then it was like, oh, when I was with my girl before, and it was like, and he has a partner who he seems to love, but doesn't talk too much about. Oh, my God. I do want to say, Mohana, I wasn't implying, by the way, that you were only on the seventh page of Google search results. I meant to say that in your quest,
Starting point is 00:13:19 you're digging deep and you're now on the seventh page. I'm like, what are they saying about me on this obscure Reddit thread? But you do have a Wikipedia, which is, you know, that's a big deal. Yeah. It's a big flex. No, I do have a Wikipedia, but I also find myself on those sites and it says that my net worth is $5 million. Yeah. And I want to know where that money is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I could just tell that your net worth is $5 million based on your stature. I know. I know, man. Yeah. that your net worth is five million dollars based on your stature i'm just like you're i know i know man somebody yeah whoever whoever got mohan it's you know you know five milli give it to him he won't it you're not he won't it even even half of it i'll take half you can take the other half please what is something that you think is overrated cooking for yourself because a lot of people tell me that it's great for me and it's also a great way to save money and to be healthy and i keep hearing about it and because i talked to one person about it instagram will not stop showing me like you know like meal prep prep stuff and whatnot. And I tried
Starting point is 00:14:25 it. And I'll tell you this, I don't like cooking. And after doing it for two weeks, just trying to cook for myself and whatnot and being told that this will make me feel good, now I hate cooking so much, like with passion. This shit sucks. It's not fun. Like, stop lying to people.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Like, you can just buy stuff outside of Good Food Delivered and it cost me the same amount because I don't know how to cook and I just keep fucking up. on like stop lying to people yeah like you can just buy stuff outside of good food delivered and it cost me the same amount because i don't know how to cook and i just keep fucking up and then i just have to re-cook it again or i cook too much and then i just like don't know how to save it anyway it's a mess it doesn't make me feel good and i cook for like 45 minutes and it didn't take me takes me what five ten minutes to eat it or less yeah yeah fair that's the that's the thing that makes me upset with cooking is you'll you'll like sit down you'll make a meal you'll do all the prep first of all the prep and cook time never correlates with the actual time it takes you to prep it'll be like 10 minutes to prep and i'll look up and
Starting point is 00:15:23 it'll be 35 minutes later and you do all this cooking all this preparing and then you sit down and you get a plate of food to eat i like to eat and watch tv and then like i'll sit down with an hour show and i'm done in like five minutes and i'm just like all right well it took me two hours to make this for five minutes and i still got 50 minutes of this show left i feel like funny i feel like someone needs to create like a iq test or like something that involves timing that involves like something that can tell us if we're good or not at cooking because there are people like my wife is doesn't cook a lot but when does her, the prep time says 10 minutes, she does it in like 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:16:07 And when I do it, it is three hours. My brain does not work that way. I've tried, I've been trying to cook for, you know, decades now. I suck at it. It is stressful. It falls apart. I had like some people over to my house from from the tdz team and i like cooked chicken for them on the grill and it was the most stressful experience of my life because i like
Starting point is 00:16:32 yeah i i fucking hated it it was bad there were like parts that were pink i i just i blew it yeah you blew it bro you're giving people salmonella yeah exactly and like they were like dude chill out but i was like just hovering over them like sweating beads just being like try it just try it try okay okay no no and then like pulling it out of their hands and putting it back on the grill i'm not good at that it's not good it's not done that yeah that's a gracious host get you a host that won't let you eat raw chicken uh is what i always say mahan all right mahan and i know you i know you don't like cooking but everybody has the thing that they can cook and that they like to cook and that tastes somewhat good even if it's like a damn grilled cheese sandwich do you have that at the very least do you have something oh yeah all right
Starting point is 00:17:25 we'll say i know how to cook a good pasta i'm just like i'll make a pasta and it will taste good yeah and and that's that's as far as it can go do you do you have a secret to your pasta it's just something that my mom used to make a lot and she sent me the recipe and like i did it so many times that i know how to like it's one of those things where, like, I know how to do it. I don't have to look at something in order to remind me. Yeah. So that part is good. But other than that, I'm like, absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Like, I have a couple things I'm good at. And it's all because they're very basic. And I know, like, one trick that, like, makes them good. Like, scrambled eggs. I add more water than most people would expect to add to scrambled eggs. Yeah. I add, well,
Starting point is 00:18:13 if you don't add water at all. Yeah. Scrambled eggs with water in it. Like I had this Korean like egg souffle thing that was where they do like 50% water, 50% eggs. And then the eggs just come out. Like it's not even like they're halfway between a liquid and a solid, but they're so good and so soft.
Starting point is 00:18:33 And like you can't really overcook them when you have water, enough water in them. So I've been leaning on that. You forgot the word souffle. Becca just typed. I was about to say, and me too. But when you add a souffle in there i was like okay that makes that makes sense that makes sense oh okay yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:18:50 yeah this korean this obscure korean dish uh it's called a souffle i don't think anyone's ever heard of it but uh i went to no yeah that's how bad i am at cooking i didn't even know there was that's what a souffle was what is something that you think is underrated mohanad something is underrated that's a that's a hard one man i just i just feel like i'm in the because of social media i look at everything as overrated that yeah that i have i think my my brain is poisoned right now that i do not enjoy the small things in life yeah but i say something underrated like it's not really special it's very basic but lately i literally have been doing absolutely nothing and just laying on my couch and playing fifa and that that feeling of happiness that gives
Starting point is 00:19:38 me absolutely amazing everyone is like oh just go to the park in New York. It's the summertime. No, it's not. No, it's not. Everyone is doing it. I get sweaty. In my apartment, I don't get sweaty. I just play this one game and get really good at it.
Starting point is 00:19:59 No one gives a fuck that I'm good at it, except me. And I love that. My couch is amazing. You got some sun in that room i'm seeing some sun in that room so you get some light yeah yeah it's great yeah everyone should you know everyone trying to make plans and go outside during the summer like just stay home put the ac on it's perfect yeah no you're not going to peer pressure me into you join the company for others i agree with you man i agree with you because listen i for the longest time
Starting point is 00:20:31 for most of my adult life i'm 35 now most of my adult life i would have guilt like staying in the bed past like 9 a.m you know like even if i wanted to i would be laying in bed and be like i gotta get up i gotta get up and you know i and then you know in our profession sometimes we do i have to be on set sometimes at like 6 a.m or you know so like if i have a job i have to get up but if i don't have a job i would still have that guilt lately over the past like two months two three months i have been letting that guilt go and saying if i'm still fucking sleepy and i don't have to be nowhere and it's 8 39 i will stay my ass in bed until i feel like i am not exhausted or tired anymore and it's such an underrated thing to let go of just
Starting point is 00:21:20 relaxing we've had yeah the worst couple years. I think that's because of the pandemic, man. The time of the lockdown. You're just like, man, a lot of the stuff I thought mattered that much, it does not, really. So, well, that's the, you know, I guess the silver lining.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Somewhat, yeah. Nah, man. Taking care of yourself and video games are underrated and i know you know that just set some people off i know some people are like what you mean underrated video games are one of the most highly rated things of all time yeah to you but there are some people there are some people who think video games are a waste of time and to those people i say to them it's an underrated thing to sit down because you'll be thinking exactly you you have to strategize you feel happy when you win you get some anger but you're not directing it at anybody you know
Starting point is 00:22:17 what i'm saying it teaches you not to throw your controllers across the room so you learn anger management it's a lot of shit that video games can do for you. It gives you a thick skin, especially when a 10-year-old yells at you when you play online. You know, you're like, well, I have a thick skin now because these kids are assholes. That's Jack. Jack be yelling at people online. That is. I usually claim that I stopped playing video games when I was you know i gave up at stage of n64 but uh i'm really i just really went underground and now
Starting point is 00:22:52 pretend to be a 10 year old who's really mean to people but you're you're exactly right like the i am definitely one of those people who has that voice in my head that like video games are a waste of time like don't you know that's why i quit playing video games and it's i don't know now now my kids are like if they grow up if we continue to be a household without video games like that that's weird right that's like the being the family without a tv in your household now yeah like that's yeah yeah get him a switch get him a switch and you'll start playing yeah i i hear good things miles and i had a thing yesterday where we got to see each other in person which was lovely and both ubered over give give ourselves a little break and he pulled up with a switch with him to a work thing which was i loved it love yeah all right let's take a quick

Starting point is 00:26:05 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 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.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. And we're back. And one of the early episodes, one of my favorite early episodes of this show was one where the guest was one Mr. Jaquese Neal. And we talked about UFOs. And I was like, this is a dumb thing, but it's a slow news day. And my brain cannot take any more conversations about Donald Trump. And people seemed to respond well to it. So it was, I think, an important episode.
Starting point is 00:28:35 It taught us just how dumb we could be on this show. I love it. So, you know, anytime Jaquese is back on, I like to just do a quick search for what's going on in the world of UFOs for old time's sake. And apparently NASA has joined the fight. They announced that they're going to launch an independent committee to investigate like what's going on with all these UAPs. The Pentagon has spent the past couple of years being like, okay, yeah, we acknowledge you guys aren't crazy. We just don't know what it is. We don't like to not know what things are. So we're going to do an investigation. And they announced their findings and they were pretty underwhelming. It was a nine-page report, and it was very short on specifics, did not draw any definitive conclusions.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Like, they did say, okay, some of these we can explain away, weather balloons, like, just, like, seeing weird things at a weird angle from a weird distance looks like, know uap or ufo but they also were they were like there there are dozens of these that we have absolutely no explanation for and they also added at the end there there was no evidence that they came from extraterrestrial sources which was like yeah i don't... We kind of had a sense that you weren't going to bury the fact that you had evidence of extraterrestrial life like in the sixth paragraph of this report.
Starting point is 00:30:13 But throwing in that last sentence is so perfect and just glib and full of shit. I don't ever mistake myself for someone of high intelligence. Like, I'm not stupid. I'm educated. I got a degree. I read. But I am flummoxed at the fact that NASA is just getting, like, who the fuck else was into ufos before the space administration like like doesn't it seem
Starting point is 00:30:49 like they would be the ones who were always like in the fight i don't know what other government entity was handling i mean well i guess the answer was no none of them were. Right, nobody was because there was this massive stigma around it. Interesting. Yeah, but that's a really good point. That's what this really lays bare for me is how much of a stigma around it there is. NASA, meanwhile, has been focused on proving that there might have been ice on Mars once. you know focused on proving that like there might have been ice on mars once and like ice means there could have been life and just ignoring the shit out of like all these like ufo like findings and like official like videos that nobody can explain and yeah i don't know that that's the
Starting point is 00:31:41 thing that like this report i was like wow they are so scared of of taking this seriously. Like in the in this report, it's a Washington Post story. But in the report, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said he had seen the classified UAP report when he was serving in the Senate and the hair stood up on the back of my neck. So sure, that that's significant. At the same time, they also said the study, to begin in the fall, will last about nine months and cost no more than $100,000. Which, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Bro, I could have gave them that. That's ridiculous. I love that that's how much they are getting, 100 that. That's ridiculous. I love that that's how much they are getting. 100K. That is so embarrassing, to be honest. It is. It's just like, what do you do with 100K? I'm just like, do you just,
Starting point is 00:32:37 is a bunch of iPhones just like pointed to the sky and just trying to take pictures? Yes. With 100K, you buyiphones and like 500 tripods and just like station them in areas where nobody can see them and that's your 100k right there and then what you get is what you get you know that's what you get that's so funny all right my honey let's cue let's cue the conspiracy music go ahead throw that music in there what do you believe what do you believe do you buy it let's hear it yeah i do think there are aliens and but i do
Starting point is 00:33:14 believe that they do not want to hang out with us they just don't want anything to do with us i think it's so embarrassing how long we've been just sending them messages. They're literally just ghosting us at this point. You guys just suck. We see what you're doing. We're not into it. We're just
Starting point is 00:33:38 going to live here in peace. It's fun here. Everything that you're going through now, we have figured this out a thousand years ago yeah and we have no interest in helping you here i think we need to stop i guess what do we think their motivation is assuming that they're like some of these uaps are life from another planet and they are here and they're just looking at us like zoo animals and, you know, like go,
Starting point is 00:34:06 go and diving through the ocean. Cause like the animals down there are really cool. I'm assuming that's like part of the thing. We always see them around the ocean during the cold war. They were, they seemed very interested in nuclear weapons because I think they were like, ah, we don't want these dipshits to,
Starting point is 00:34:22 you know, kill themselves. We want, I feel like they're rooting for us. But yeah, they're just like, they can't handle this shit right now. I think they're rooting for the show to continue. I feel like we're all stuck in some kind of like, the whole earth is stuck in some kind of like the Truman Show scenario. Where they're like watching us do like every move and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And yeah, they're saving us because they're just like, yeah, we literally stopped looking for a bit and we lost dinosaurs. So we can't let these guys do whatever they want. So this is my theory. Yeah. I love that. I love that. I mean, I do think we are an incredibly unadvanced species which is why i you know like
Starting point is 00:35:08 people forget we are as the human race a very young species uh hey we are we just started writing things down a couple thousand years ago yeah we're we're so young and stupid and dumb and don't know shit and that is so true we've been looking for all these u.s all these aliens and all these things like that and i've never really contemplated the fact that maybe they just don't want to be found because they like oh them humans ugly man i don't like these movies. I'm going to go ahead over here and talk to, you know, talk to these other advanced worlds and universes and stuff like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:54 It's pretty funny. That's my other theory is that, like, I think the military industrial complex, like, you know, not the most trustworthy. It's kind of wild. Like, yeah, to your point, Jekisa, like NASA has not been involved in this to this point is like crazy it's like oh wait i guess i kind of like the part of my brain was assuming that's who who is on this shit up to this point um yeah but also that like the least trustworthy like biggest grifter in maybe like the history of the modern world, the U S military industrial complex is who we have on the job.
Starting point is 00:36:29 It's like not great. They're not always the most trustworthy, not always great at being transparent, but I think they like, it's interesting that they have hidden anything they found that is indicative of like life on another planet or extraterrestrial life. And I think it's because like the fact that there are extraterrestrials and they aren't killing us means that that would that must be like a very like primitive idea. like primitive idea and like that's what their whole business is built on is the idea that like well you know you once you see somebody else they're gonna kill you because like it's either
Starting point is 00:37:10 kill or be killed and like that's why we need to spend all the money on having big bombs to shoot at people in case they shoot big bombs at us and like to have a more advanced uh civilization just like back there being like uh all right yeah i mean we're rooting for you i think that's the big conspiracy i i don't know but i used to want i i mean i still want to know if they're i i mean i know i believe it and i know there's life elsewhere and aliens and blah blah blah blah uh i used to really want to experience it like some shit to like really go down here on earth see it you know what i'm saying because like even though i think they're advanced i do think like we could probably give a few of these aliens hands right we can we can
Starting point is 00:37:56 independence damn or a little bit right we can will smith them but i don't But I used to also feel like it would be the only thing, the only thing that would unite the human race together. And I stopped believing in that March 2020 when this pandemic showed me that there is nothing that we won't fight about in this country. that we won't fight about in this country so now i don't want no shit to go down because if it does like we fucked because we ain't we gonna be we gonna be divided ourselves while they up here looking like i know i know the fact that they haven't killed us and are still hanging out like watching gives me some hope that like there's a further level of evolution that they're like you guys like aren't aren't hopeless you know or maybe they're just like waiting for us to kill ourselves so they can like move in to arizona or wherever the fuck they i'm just worried that the concept of killing is not something to them they don't understand what that means right you're like
Starting point is 00:39:02 they're gonna come here and the first thing that especially americans here will do be like let's give them guns and see what happens yeah yeah they will try taste blood and be like you know what we fucking love this we're gonna kill each and every one of these people there's pretty strong evidence that there were unidentified flying objects over dc and in the skies over la like during world war ii and we sent we like scrambled fighter planes like shot at them and they were just like all right man like they just flew away they were like okay that's what you want to do if we do if we do find you know what's really going to happen is we're going to Jesus-ify them. You know, we're going to be like, oh, aliens? That's an American alien right there.
Starting point is 00:39:52 That's a white-haired, that's a blue-eyed, blonde-haired alien right there. I think they're absolutely right that we're not ready for whatever they're hiding from us. We're not fucking ready, man. No. They would fuck us up i also think that like that the cia like half of the sightings that i've seen that are i'm like they can't be explained are probably like things the cia put out there to obscure the truth because that does seem to be how the cia operates is they'll put like plausible fake information out so that when you have a theory
Starting point is 00:40:26 like they can debunk like some of the things that you point to so i do think there's like a lot of like you know security military industrial complex like bullshit that goes into this so i'm hoping nasa can help uh with the 3535 that they have put towards this small project. Yeah, NASA, if you're listening, just post your Venmo on Twitter or something. We got you. Yeah, get a Kickstarter going. We can get y'all more than $100,000. Just in LA alone, we can get y'all more than $100,000.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Really? But really the takeaway is your initial point, J to keys to like NASA hasn't been on this. NASA like is trying to find any way they can to get people interested in NASA again. And like they've been doing, they've been spending billions of dollars on these like missions to Mars. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Like you want a generation of kids. Yeah. You want to get one, a generation of kids to be like interested again like they were in the 60s and 70s maybe like go with the stuff that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck like i feel like that's that's a good one maybe devote more than a hundred thousand dollars to it i got i got one more thing to say about just ufos and all that shit i do believe it i do believe we've seen stuff
Starting point is 00:41:45 but before the trump presidency i used to believe there was more of it and like once you got to that level you know like classifying information they kept it ain't no fucking way donald j trump would have kept shit to himself if he would have found out once he got the presidency. Aliens were real and Area 51 got up, man. So maybe we haven't found as much as I used to think because do it unless something slipped. He would even just alluded to it. There's a famous Bill Clinton speech because he when he came into office, he immediately started. He was like, all right, I want to find like what there is like put put together a fact-finding mission and he was like
Starting point is 00:42:29 and i found out that like there are some things they don't tell the president like they won't tell like i hit a wall as president where i like there's something there and they weren't telling me i'm like clinton has like come out and just said that. Okay. Illuminati. It's real. It's real and Bill Clinton is not invited. He's not invited. You bring weird vibes, man. You're creeping everybody out
Starting point is 00:42:58 at this Illuminati sex party. Maybe put on the weight. Put the weight back on man you look like the crypt keeper yeah yeah all right let's take a quick break we'll come back i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit netflix documentary series dancing for the devil the 7m tiktok cult and i'm cleo gray former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

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, 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.
Starting point is 00:45:37 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.
Starting point is 00:45:53 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.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. 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.
Starting point is 00:46:49 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. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and so there's a a bunch of big hollywood a-listers signed an open letter urging hollywood to reconsider how guns are used on screen So presumably the letter is to themselves, I guess. It's like a lot of like very powerful people, Shonda Rhimes, J.J. Abrams, Julianne Moore, Amy Schumer, you know, people who could, if they were to really like make this a full-time mission, throw their weight around. Unfortunately, wait around unfortunately the way the just the ideas in the letter are kind of reinforce a right-wing talking point which deflects attention away from gun control towards like well there's too much violence in this dang holly weird culture that they're putting in front of our kids when matthew mcconaughey gave that speech about you know
Starting point is 00:48:25 uvalde which is his hometown like bright bart put up a article with the headline six handguns two assault weapons two submachine guns shotgun grenade used in hbo's true detective produced by matthew mcconaughey got him yeah yeah gotcha yeah i mean wonder woman or not more i mean what's her name linda carter responded to that it was like yeah i also flew an invisible plane and i still think we should follow you know the laws of pilotry i don't know what she said something to that and it's just like yeah yeah pilotry and i'm just like you you know and here's the thing i do you know i do think that when some people say shit like that that there are some people who just are missing that part of their brain but i do think most people who say stuff like that know they bullshit like you know what the difference is stop bullshitting like but you know they gotta say it because they are
Starting point is 00:49:31 playing to the base that have the missing parts of their brain so like they're that's the that's what they're playing to when they say things that they just know flat out make no sense or isn't things that they just know flat out make no sense or isn't and isn't logical a logical argument it doesn't make any sense yeah it doesn't it doesn't make any sense to be like oh but you've done this thing in the past that everyone does then you get you don't get to complain about it and it's just like i mean guns have been around and in movies and shows and stuff like that. And there, I mean, there's the show Barry on HBO and he's an assassin. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:08 I'm sure he doesn't think that you should be going around shooting people just because he does that on a TV show. That's why it's fiction. Right. It's fiction. I have decided that this is my last episode of TDZ and I'm going to be a trained assassin just based on having watched the last season of Barry. It was very was very good it was very good season like two two good argument like first
Starting point is 00:50:29 of all people have done studies and evidence indicates that like violent crimes decreased in the wake of violent blockbuster movies you know just common sense wise, I definitely think that I think guns are cooler than I would have if I didn't grow up like with Die Hard and Rambo as the U.S., plus Degrassi. But in 2019, they had eight times fewer gun-related deaths proportionally than the U.S. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. Two points. One, we were talking about this earlier before we started recording,
Starting point is 00:51:21 and I want sensible gun laws. I want, I mean, look, if you take guns off the street, I wouldn't give a shit, but, like, you know, I'm also not stupid enough to think that that'll ever happen. So, like, at the very least, I do think, like, we should get, you know, gun laws and gun control and all this shit, but even me saying that, I'm not dumb enough to think we should take it
Starting point is 00:51:46 out of television and movies because it doesn't do anything like where i i used to be a tour guide in la and this is to this point i used to be a tour guide in la and whenever i would have like a tough day like for whatever reason my my tourists my guests were shitty you know the cops in the streets were shitty you know locals and whatever i would come home not all the time but sometimes i would come home i would fire up gta5 which for those of you who don't know was set in los angeles and i would make my way to ho to Hollywood and throw sticky bombs on tour buses and fuck people up. And I would do that shit. And in no shape, form or fashion have I ever had the inkling to do any of that in real life.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Ever. Ever. Ever. Because I'm not a psychopath. because I'm not a psychopath. And I know the difference between a video game and being able to do that there and let out that like steam or whatever and actually having the thirst to murder people.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Those are two different things. Like it's insane. It's so insane. So, you know. Unfortunately, you have just rendered yourself incapable of talking about gun things because you did once shoot someone in a video game. So by the McConaughey clause, you're not allowed to talk about gun control. I can't. I can't.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Well, it's been real, everybody. You be easy, be blessed. You know, somebody else has made the point that like maybe a good thing to target, like because you guys are powerful people in this industry, is Hollywood like basically does product placement for gun companies in movies and TV shows. Like the same way that like Stranger Things helped sales of Eggos. And, you know, that movie The Wizard made me think that the Power Glove would fix my life. I don't know if you remember that Fred Savage movie where, like, he got the Power Glove
Starting point is 00:53:53 and it was just so much better than the real thing. But yeah, gun companies like Glock offer their products to prop houses for cheap or free in exchange for the promotion. In 2010, Gck received a lifetime achievement award from the website brand channel for appearing in more than 15 percent of that
Starting point is 00:54:14 year's box office topping films wow so this is a strategy that like you, your industry helps guns and helps gun companies make money. So maybe make it so that you're not using real guns. Maybe make it so that you, these gun companies don't have some input into the scripting and how their weapons are used in, in your products. Yeah. in in your products yeah i'm all for i'm 100 all for hollywood saying we are no longer going to let gun manufacturers and you know lobbies profit off of our industry anymore or you know like you said be able to have input i'm 100 for that i think that should 100 go away that. I think that should 100% go away. That and no more guns in movies are two different things though. It should just be all
Starting point is 00:55:10 old shitty looking guns that are like flaccid. Like the guns are like soft when they pick them up. Yes. No more real looking guns. Just un-erect guns from here on out. Smith and Wesson actually hired an actual product
Starting point is 00:55:28 placement firm to help them break into the industry yeah so yeah i mean maybe instead of modifying the content make sure that their projects aren't lining the pockets of real life gun manufacturers i think would be the well i'm interested i'm interested to know what you think muhammad on why like what like even if liberal old-ass hollywood is saying these same tired well maybe it is the media that's leading to more violence and if we take it away then maybe there will be less violence the ones who are seemingly on the side of gun control are still repeating these tired ass. I don't even know. There's whatever talking points,
Starting point is 00:56:11 talking points. Yeah. I, you know, sometimes it just feels like there's no hope. I don't know if you have a different take, if you have a different take or a different optimism and it's fine if you don't,
Starting point is 00:56:22 uh, cause I'm right there with you if you don't but yeah if you have a different take or different optimism on yeah man i just honestly i think it's just yeah like i agree with you like saying that you know taking guns from movies is going to solve anything it doesn't make any sense uh i mean does the media have effect on people and like perspective changes and like make them want to do stuff that they maybe haven't thought about in the past sure i mean there are so many movies and shows tv shows out there about the military and i think a lot of people joined because of i don't know top gun yeah they made it look so cool and if that's that's one thing that maybe they can they can
Starting point is 00:57:01 tackle just the like how many war movies there are out there. Because it's not about guns. It's just, like, it's about, like, the normalization of violence in general and making it look so cool that maybe that's the thing that they need to talk about. That's fair. But the tools being used
Starting point is 00:57:20 themselves, I don't think they are the solution. Plus, I mean, one of the reasons they just talk about it, because this is the easiest thing to critique. You know? And it's one of those things that you can get so many
Starting point is 00:57:36 people to agree on. And it also means that you don't have to do anything tangible. Exactly. Which is cool. It's just like an inflated self-importance of what art is. I think art is important, but some people give themselves too much weight. They think they're carrying on people, that they're actually making people do stuff because of their art creations and all of that.
Starting point is 00:58:01 And I'm just like, no, man, it's way more than that. It's just, yes, it's way more than that. It's just, you know, yes, it's TV shows. Yes, it's movies. But it's also, you know, culture and schools and a bunch of other bullshit that maybe you should be talking about and putting your money toward. What you're saying there reminds me of when,
Starting point is 00:58:18 and look, I love this man. He grew up as one of my favorite entertainers, actors still. You know, his work still is up there at the top for me but it reminds me of when jim carrey was in kick-ass 2 which if you haven't seen it's a pretty violent movie a lot of weaponry in there not just guns knives bats glass a lot of shit yeah somebody got fucking killed with a lawnmower you know so it's just a violent movie yeah and then something had just happened i can't remember what it was i don't know if it was sandy hook or it was some type of mass shooting or something like that that just happened and i
Starting point is 00:58:57 apologize for not knowing it exactly off the top of my head but when that came out then he basically just denounced himself from the movie saying i I don't stand behind this movie anymore. I can't blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, which obviously was reactionary. And, you know, I get being reactionary to a degree. But then, you know, I go back and think of that. the like whoever was involved in that mass murder and those unfortunate souls that lost their lives didn't lose their lives because my phone was like whoo kick-ass made me want to go out there and kill some people like stop you know like you and it's not just stop but like you can't just say this one thing and have an incomplete conversation after that that is the thing like the conversation
Starting point is 00:59:43 was incomplete you can't just say i don't stand for this violence so i can't stand behind it anymore because violence is bad and stop there because you are that that gives you black and white and nobody's talking about the gray in between right to get to those black and white stances and like that always disappointed me you know that was one that was one of the biggest instances of somebody from Hollywood giving themselves, like you said, the overinflated ego of like what we do matters this much. And not saying the conversation isn't worth having, but you can't just stop and saying, I don't I'm not standing behind this movie anymore because it's violent. Like, oh, he also did it after he had shot it and like wasn't you know like there was no he was just like ah shouldn't have done that i don't like
Starting point is 01:00:30 this movie anymore so basically he just like took away his contributions to the publicity tour that would have happened afterwards because yeah you're right he shot that movie one month before the uh sandy hook okay massacre yeah fucking children and again i get being reactionary that was a fucking travesty like and and i get i get a reactionary response to that like i don't i'm not shitting on him for doing that i'm just saying like the conversation was incomplete and exactly yeah yeah yeah no it's i feel like it's just a it's just a it's just a matter of just like kind of like improv you're like yes and okay you said this what what else what are you gonna do is there something that you're gonna donate to is there something initiative that you're gonna start
Starting point is 01:01:19 is what are we going from there because yeah even if this movie disappears, you know, every mass shooter is not going to be like, well, my only reference to doing this is now gone and I do not know how to do violence anymore. They're like pointing the gun backwards at themselves.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Exactly. The thing it reminds me of is, and it has nothing to do with guns but just the same level of like thought and intention and just like it sounds good but actually doesn't make any sense uh for for a couple weeks i was brushing my teeth in the shower because i thought it was helping save water and i thought that because Jennifer Aniston had said that in an ad I had seen somewhere. And it's not like I was like, well, Jennifer Aniston is my thought leader and therefore I must do whatever she said. But I, it was just like an idea
Starting point is 01:02:18 in a, you know, attractive package that was like put out there that stuck in my brain. I was like, that makes sense. I, rather than like going over to the sink and turning the water on there. And then like, you know, you, you find out the, like that way it's way more water because the fucking shower is spending so much more water than the sink. You dumb, you dumb, dumb. sink you dumb yeah you dumb dumb also jack i listen i love that but i my my dirty body water being down in the tub whatever sometimes you know as humans sometimes people pee in the tub whatever i i can't i can't have toothpaste juice at the bottom of my feet like i just can't well then you don't have to wash your feet then you don't have to wash your feet then you don't have to wash your feet they're just minty fresh right away you just kind of like around
Starting point is 01:03:09 down there yeah oh can't do it yeah no but but that yeah it's the it's that level of like okay we'll give it one second of thought and it will appear as though we're doing the right thing. But yeah, maybe like a second, 10 seconds of thought would have been useful in this case, or the case of Jennifer Aniston telling me how to brush my teeth. Anyways, Mohanad, it's been a real pleasure having you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Well, you can find me on Twitter. I'm always there,
