Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio apps, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laughstravaganza.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Who do we have in our third seat? Well, we have basically a legend in the podcast game. This is somebody who's had pretty much any position you've had in what she would describe. And I think most of us would describe as big podcasting. Maybe you heard of WNYC, where a lot of the GOAT podcasts emanate from. Maybe you heard of Stitcher, where a lot of our GOAT podcasts emanate from. Maybe you heard of Stitcher where a lot
Starting point is 00:02:46 of our friends have shows on that network as well. Maybe you know her work from, I don't know, Revisionist History, The Dream, or Bad Blood if you mess with Elizabeth Holmes. Please. Oh, and also, I would be remiss to not mention her latest show, Shameless Acquisition
Starting point is 00:03:01 Target, about podcast acquisitions in which the aim is to sell out as quickly as possible and have the show acquired which i think is a very noble pursuit please welcome to the microphone laura mayor thank you for having me you know i never had like a wedding reception and i feel like i just got introduced as my own couple right oh wow here i am did you wait you referenced a a partner a spouse i got married but we didn't we just we got married at staten island borough hall okay and then i did a podcast the next day but we um didn't do a party we never did a party and we're like oh we'll do a party we'll do a party we never
Starting point is 00:03:41 did a party the only reason to get married is to do a party yeah was it because a pandemic no this happened like 10 years ago oh wow let's throw a party daniel will dj for free oh yeah i'm on mc yes for free for as long as i want right yes anytime yeah he'll bring all the equipment he'll bring all the he will bring the pa he'll bring a subwoofer. What'd you say? You have like a 40-inch sub you could bring? Yes. I do. An industrial sub. I'll be there with all the sound. Also, I have a bunch of friends who have kids who are like 12, 13. How are you
Starting point is 00:04:15 good at... Can you get a bar bat mitzvah dance floor going? Oh, yeah. I mean, you don't know this. Daniel and I, we used to moonlight as bar mitzvah pump-up dancers. You know what I mean? People don't know about that Daniel and I, we used to moonlight as bar mitzvah pump-up dancers. You know what I mean? People don't know about that industry. Not far from the actual truth.
Starting point is 00:04:29 They'd be hiring people with high energy to go to these bene mitzvahs. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Because I respect the culture. Got to get two going. Yeah. We'd go up, turn up. Daniel would do like a backflip and shit.
Starting point is 00:04:40 I would do some fire dancing. And then they would ask us to leave because we weren't hired by the people throwing it. Well, that's what would happen at my wedding ceremony 10 minutes after. Or 10 minutes, excuse me, 10 years after. So thank you for volunteering your labor for free. Absolutely. It would be my utmost pleasure.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Yeah, I just had a wedding, so the best part was the dancing and not the... The vows and stuff, I definitely got emotional, but I'm a dancer. The love part was okay, was the dancing and not the like the the vows and stuff i definitely got emotional but i i'm a dancer you know i'm a dancer the love part was okay the love dancing the love part is infinite the love part is always the love part is just your day-to-day but that's a pre-existing condition exactly thank you exactly exactly you pinpointed it but it's not having everybody together and watching your dad uh turn up to like future.
Starting point is 00:05:25 You know, that feels like a moment, you know, he was like, what is this? I'm like, it's future. He's like, OK, I'm in my I'm in my scumbag era. I'm like, OK, let's go. Daniel O'Brien, no relation. Search history. What is it? What is something from there that reveals something about who you are can i fly a blimp here's here's how all this started i was on a fishing boat a couple of days
Starting point is 00:05:51 ago and i saw a blimp on the boat and uh if you assume that fishing boats on like a monday morning are full of older gentlemen you'd be correct if you assume older gentlemen are super into blimps you'd be correct if you assume older gentlemen love explaining very obvious things to other people, you'd be correct. It's a whole boat full of people going, blimp, blimp, blimp. Hey, hey, did you see the blimp? Did everyone see the blimp? It's been a long time. You never see blimps anymore.
Starting point is 00:06:17 I was going to say you never see blimps anymore. When was the last time you saw a blimp? Long time. Me too. Long time. Blimp. So we all took turns saying blimp for like 45 minutes and then it got me curious so i went home and i googled how many blimps are there active blimps
Starting point is 00:06:32 is this an answer you know already no yes how many active blimps like how many how many blimps are in circulation what does that mean like does that mean like that mean who can fly one? How many are sky-worthy, air-worthy? How many are in service? If we needed all of our blimps right now to fend something off or to travel us, take us very slowly from point A to point B, and we
Starting point is 00:06:58 got all of them, how many do you think? I hate to keep asking because I love trivia like this, but I always like to narrow it down. What classifies as a blimp? Because in my mind, there's only Goodyear and MetLife. That's the correct size. There are some like Zeppelins I don't think are technically blimps. And I'm not putting hot air balloons in that.
Starting point is 00:07:17 It's like very large. Yes, that's the word. Okay, we're getting into Dirigible Town. I don't know. I'm going to just say maybe there's like three per state so about 150 less than 200 that's good math yeah i like where you're coming from with that one like i feel like every state there's like three dirigible guys and they all know each other right and i'm only interjecting here because this was something that i too was interested in a while ago it was one of those things where it's like you see a blimp and you ask yourself this question i think we had a very similar coming to like
Starting point is 00:07:48 let me look let me let me let me look this thing up and i did some similar math and i'm not going to daniel please continue but i just want to say you're saying you already know the fucking answer daniel i do know the answer but i'm just saying i just wanted to i just wanted to say that this is also something that fascinated me. And Miles, I thought the exact same thing you did. So Daniel, please continue. I like how you're also doing it like a guy who's trying to not say a wrong answer. But it's like, and look, I was also looking at this.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And Miles, you're going to love the answer. I'm not going to. You're going to love it. I'm not going to give an answer that could be technically wrong. You're going to love it. And we're going to throw it back to Daniel. He's already known. Back to you.
Starting point is 00:08:22 All right, DLB. The rough consensus is 25. 25? The whole world. The whole world. Wait, that's the whole world? That's it. All of them. I completely got oh my, that just almost had a panic attack.
Starting point is 00:08:38 That's all we have. And it put me, I'm thrilled to announce exclusively here on this podcast that I have entered my blimp phase of my life. Because now I'm down a rabbit hole of it. Because now that there are so few, I was very curious. Can I fly a blimp? That was my question.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And Google assumed I meant, can I ride in a blimp? No, motherfucker. Which is not what I wanted. But that took me to the Goodyear blimp page for passenger information, where I learned that rides aboard the Goodyear blimp are by invitation only. So I went back to Google and they said, people often ask, how much does it cost to ride a blimp? There are no tickets to buy. All blimp rides are auctioned off for charity at a cost of $14,000 for two people as told to us by a blimp pilot during our tour. If you wish to take a free tour of like a sitting blimp that's not in the air, you can call and find out about that.
Starting point is 00:09:26 MetLife does not permit rides in its blimps, and Goodyear only offers rides in its three blimps to auction winners. Wow. So wait, damn, and Goodyear has three of the 25. That's nuts. What a percentage. I mean, that's what I was going to say. They're known for that. That's like, oh my god, I think
Starting point is 00:09:41 most people don't even know they make tires. There's so few blimps in the world. There are so few blimp pilots out there. It takes a very long time to learn how to do that. And it also from a quick wired article I was reading, it's very, there's no autopilot for it. Every blimp ride is different. You have to get every blimp is different. You have to get a feel for the, like they say, the personality of the blimp. And you also have to be able to, like moment to moment, you're responding to air pockets and wind and weather and no takeoff and landing are the same.
Starting point is 00:10:10 And it's just like these very skilled, very few people who are taking these expensive, difficult, and the more I think about it, once in a lifetime blimp rides that I desperately want to be on. And I don't think there is a clear path for me to be on a blimp. I don't like that. I don't like that. There's no clear path for you.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I know. Thank you. Okay. Zyte gang. If you know anything about, about piloting an airship, a dirigible, please contact us because we have a young man here who we don't know how,
Starting point is 00:10:43 how much time he has left. I don't know, maybe 50 years, left i don't know maybe 50 years 55 years that'd be great left on this planet that's what the doctors are giving you more or less yeah life expectancy for a man in new jersey i don't know what that is but that's it and he would like to be on an airship can't you maybe this sounds like this sort of like thing that happens in japan right there's a lot of things that are dying out, like with generations, like certain ways of making things or harvesting things. And there's like a generation of younger people who don't want it to die.
Starting point is 00:11:13 So like they're using like, you know, everything they can to just like try and preserve these like old methods of like making like soy sauce, for example. I feel like where is that for our blimp pilots? Why aren't we like trying to preserve this? Yeah, it's just a thing that I don't think there's enough interest in. Like no one is, no Tesla is going to develop like sustainable blimps
Starting point is 00:11:34 because I think it's just like me and a hundred other people on Google who want to ride blimps anymore. So they're just like, there's not enough interest. And you look at like, it's very expensive to, it's like a hundred thousand000 per ride of blimp to just like, to just fill it with helium. And when I learned these things, I'm like, yeah, we probably, there's no way limps are anything but terrible for the environment. And there's not enough interest to fix that problem. So it's just gonna be one of those things like alarm clocks that dies in my lifetime. And most people are gonna be fine with it. And I will not be.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Yeah. Damn, that is a damn shame. You know, I foresee something in the department of drones replacing what blimps do for us. Yeah. But you can't fly, you know, LED drones don't work during the daytime. And nothing replaces that presence in the sky like a big round hot doggy shaped blimp just like cruising through the air.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Especially when there's an unsuspecting group of like noncombatants and they see that huge shadow come over their backyard party. Oh, wait, I'm talking about a Reaper drone. Yeah, that would be cool, too. That would be cool as well. What is something you think is underrated? I think phone calls are underrated. Because sometimes it's like, look, I just need an answer right now. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Do you know what I'm saying? Right, right, right. Just real quick. Like, I don't feel like typing it. Maybe it's like, maybe it's too much to explain. Yeah. It's a lot. I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:13:07 yo, Hey, you pulling up Friday. Yeah. All right, fool. Good. Right now.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Easy. You know what I'm saying? Like, just, just tell me right now so I can move on. Like, I'm just trying to check this. I don't see no problem with that.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Now, granted, I do have a friend that refuses to text and only calls. That's different, but like, no, I'm just by like right you hit send and suddenly your phone is ringing yeah that dude and i'm like oh no like what no but like there was a reason i texted i promise yeah but generally if it's just like hey we need to do this by friday bet yep yeah and i think it's just like, hey, we need to do this by Friday. Bet.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Yep. Yeah. I think it's underrated. You know, honestly, in this day and age of mostly text communication, it's harder to deny you didn't get the info if you got that call, too. Yeah. It's like, bro, I called you. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:14:01 I talked to you. We don't even talk. And you pick up the phone. You're like, oh, wow, look who's using the phone you remember this fucking conversation like yeah we had a conversation yeah okay yeah i think it's underrated we've we've had people on here talk about phone calls being underrated for like catching up hearing people's voices like interpersonal connection but in terms of i think i think this might be the first time we've had people, like, advocate for phone calls in terms of, like, exchanges of information. So a thing that I know some people who do is they will leave an intentionally vague voicemail or text that's like, hey, can you call me? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:42 Yeah. Because they just, just like they want the call to happen quicker right and i hate that that's that's scary it's passive aggressive it's passive aggressive or you gotta let them know it's nothing bad right i'm right so just call me right i'm like just call don't give me that because now i'm now my brain going everywhere i'm like dog that feels manipulative i'm just like yo look and because i know i'd much rather like i don't now in their defense like i don't like catching up on the phone i'd much rather be like yo let's go get coffee let's go do something right i'll catch up with you in person but i definitely don't want to be
Starting point is 00:15:18 walking around the house for for an hour and a half right talking about you know i'm saying i don't want to do that but i think a phone call especially because of like the work that we do like i had to call my like i i had to text my assistant yesterday and was like hey i need to fill this out by the 10th she ain't respond so i was like the 10th is today like had i just called her it was like yo do this right i'm saying got it you know because i just like oh my bad i didn't see this text and i'm like that's fair she could be a flight i'm not her only client you know i'm saying like so i'm like dog man just let me just call you real quick yeah in that case you just hit the exclamation point on on the i will show you that's exactly what i did that's exactly what i did i'm sorry you did i did i didn't add the proper yes and she just replied sorry i got you punctuation
Starting point is 00:16:18 because i hit the word i was looking for there it is i hit the exclamation power absolutely yep what is something you think is underrated? Underrated? I have to go with my girl, Carly Rae Jepsen. I will not shut up about her. I love her. She's released two new singles this year. They are both good in different ways.
Starting point is 00:16:38 And I'm seeing her on tour in October and she's dropping a new album. And I just feel like she doesn't get the respect, the respect put on her name that she deserves for being truly just one of the greatest pop girlies in the game right now. Wait, you're going to that show at the Greek. Oh, okay. I was thinking, I saw that date. I was just at the Greek. I saw something and I saw like all the shows coming up and I was looking at her magic. I said, I'm down to go see that Carly Rae Jepsen. I'll be there. I think you and a lot of listeners are like, go see the shit live.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Go see it. Go see a show. She's a fun time. Yeah. Wait, so what's her new music? Is it because I just listened to that one album like from two years ago, like a lot. What's the new dedicated? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Yeah, yeah. She has great stuff on dedicated. She has a new album coming out called the loneliest time and a lot of it was written during lockdown and she started doing like zoom collab sessions she wrote like a hundred songs and then like whittled it down no she overwrites it's crazy for emotion she wrote like 200 songs oh so when she dies it's gonna be like tupac right yeah like yo you ready for that new CRJ? Don't speak that into it.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Don't worry, she's not in any pop music. I'm talking about when she dies an actual death at the age of 140. Okay. And then they'll just be dropping music from her 20s. Yeah, exactly. And everyone's going to be like, what the fuck is this? 30s. She is like 36 years old.
Starting point is 00:18:03 She's in her late 30s. is like 36 years old she's in her like late 30s yeah she is when call me maybe dropped she was like 26 and that was 10 years ago oh shit i had no idea okay for some reason i always associated her with bieber because that song like hit i think around the time bieber was like at his peak fame oh they were both canadians and yeah fellow canadian yeah i just i was like oh they're like teeny boppers she's mine yeah so for that reason i spent five years not listening to her and then i heard uh run away with me and i was like oh that's a good song that's a good song on tinder one time on tinder i matched with the guy who directed the music video for run away with me and i matched with the guy who directed the music video
Starting point is 00:18:46 for run away with me and i was like didn't you direct the music video for run away with me and he never responded wait you recognized him by name you were like i'm sorry excuse me are you he had like a thing that said that he was like a director or something so then i googled him oh right i like googled him director and then found that he directed the music video for run away with me and i was like hello oh my god the love of my life and then he he's the one that got away oh yeah well to quote a katie perry song you guys know that song the one that got away it is about josh groban which is crazy to me every time i listen to it i'm like he's you know no disrespect to me. Every time I listen to it, I'm like, he's, you know, no disrespect to Mr. Groban.
Starting point is 00:19:28 I like Josh Groban. I feel like a lot of disrespect for Josh Groban is about to happen. But go ahead. No, I just, they don't seem compatible to me. And it's crazy to me that Katy Perry is writing that he is the one that got away. Who has she been compatible with, though? We were just talking about her recently. I feel like Orlando Bloom is a good fit for her yeah bloom yeah her and orlando bloom i just to me
Starting point is 00:19:50 she's like so it's so hard for me to put my finger on like who she actually is as a person like i get like the avatar of katie perry with orlando bloom but i'm you know i want to know the real katie i do does she even know the real katie that's the question behind any of us know who we are carly rage epson does you can hear it in her lyrics yeah leave it at that yes josh grogan orlando bloom two names uh no orlando bloom i have heard mentioned multiple times for different reasons in the last week on various podcasts what was various podcasts one for fighting justin bieber and i forget what the other one was for why is he fighting a child like i know that just i know that wasn't even raised they were just talking about it like it was like a tale of the tape boxing thing on uh this is important another i heart podcast that's
Starting point is 00:20:41 a lot of fun and yeah they but they were just talking about it like, yeah, fight! I was like, that is... It's like telling me Robert Redford fought Michael Jackson when he was in the Jackson 5. They're different eras. Justin is not well right now, so I
Starting point is 00:21:00 just feel like I would let it go. This is from 2014. I know what you're talking about. It was a long time ago. It was a long time ago. But it still, like, Justin Bieber was even younger than a child. But I don't know. And then somebody else was talking about him as an actor in another podcast I listened to.
Starting point is 00:21:18 It's like Bloom is having a moment in the zeitgeist for no good reason. Yeah. I think he's about to be in some new movie or whatever who gives a shit that bloom is definitely off the rose okay hey all right let's take a quick break while we bask in that and then we'll come back and ask you for something that you think is overrated. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

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,
Starting point is 00:24:04 Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.
Starting point is 00:24:16 From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?
Starting point is 00:24:35 This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. And the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago. What they're looking for,
Starting point is 00:26:04 we're going to use the famous catchphrase, the daily zeitgeist. We don't know. Could be a lot. I mean, it's definitely classified documents that the archives know are there and they've tried to get back many times yes that's at a minimum is that definitely true well you think about right like even to get a warrant you got to explain this if i when i when i execute this search it means i can turn up evidence that will
Starting point is 00:26:38 show that this crime said crime has been committed you also have to say like what has been done on the way to even say you need a search warrant if you've exhausted all the other things all of it being like because then you're like the only fucking option we have now is to run up that's it yeah i think to get there you have to demonstrate and and the lawyers have been speaking to his lawyers about this so there's something there for sure he said they've been talking since june and was like like meetings like and trump was at one of them where he was like yo you got a box of what now all right uh gotta run hey can you lock it up though like that's they even said that if they was like yo can you make sure you lock that up
Starting point is 00:27:16 they were like oh okay yeah but i still think i don't know how else to slice this. This is it's objectively funny. Everything about this is it's just funny because we have to back up a step to be like this grown man tried to flush paper down the toilet. Right. Yeah. So like like paper, like like like what we used to do when you try to hide a joint from your mama. You know what I'm saying? I remember my dad used to tell me all the time, son, I'm going to quit smoking. I quit smoking.
Starting point is 00:27:49 And it would be a cigarette butt just floating in the toilet. Right. And I'm like, you don't have to tell me you're quitting. You know what I'm saying? For me to have to find, like, you could just be, you smoke in the bathroom. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's just what you did. Because I'm seeing it's like, or at least watch it bathroom. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's just what you did. Cause I'm seeing it's like,
Starting point is 00:28:05 or at least watch it flush, you know? But I'm like, if you can't get a cigarette butt down, you took an eight and a half by 11 piece of paper and thought you could flush it in the toilet. That's objectively funny. You know what I'm saying? They just had to dig clumps of it out of the White House, which we knew, we knew already,
Starting point is 00:28:24 like that that was coming right yeah yeah and then and then i'm like okay it's objectively funny because it's like yo i'm gonna take this box with me as a momentum right even if it's just like i think it's a moment even if you not hiding crimes right you're just like oh this is dope i want to remember that i was the president at one time i want to be able to show this to chicks like that's funny like that is exactly what we would expect from him too you need you like fam you don't we all know you was the president like you ain't gotta like you don't need to what is you doing you know i'm saying and if you hide evidence fam you keeping it and then on the top of that And if you hide evidence, fam, you keeping it?
Starting point is 00:29:10 And then on the top of that, it's just, I'm going off because it's obviously a fresh in everybody's mind. But I'm like, this man was like, they even broke into my safe. Yeah. Where I keep stolen documents. And let me get you. You don't think the feds was going to go in your safe? You thought they, you thought the FBI was going to walk in your house? I hadn't called Ali Ali Oxen free yet.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. You're completely out of touch with anything approaching consequences. Yeah. Like, bro, you really thought you really thought. Yeah. That you put it in a safe
Starting point is 00:29:45 your FBI gonna be like oh right well it's in a safe guys I guess we could go home right because there's gonna be a lot of finger pointing right like because it's yeah he's under the idea that because I'm president I can declassify whatever I want which is true but there is a of a process in which to do that. Because Trump was getting in trouble doing that shit just on Twitter. He's like, I hereby declassify this shit. And they're like, no. They're like, you have to go through a proper chain of command, like a chain of custody to make sure certain documents are,
Starting point is 00:30:17 you can't just be by decree. So there's that element. Then it's like, who boxed up the shit? Who moved the shit there? And there's a lot of people, a lot of hands on it, where I'm sure maybe Trump can begin to be like, I never did anything, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But yeah, it seems to be from a lot of the accounts that Trump himself knew what was where and had a hand in handling shit. So again, it is hard to know like where this goes because it feels kind of like in everyone's minds. Like what is this? Some weak sauce documents charged they're trying to get him on is it that there's highly classified information and there's like an
Starting point is 00:30:49 espionage angle where this dude clearly had some like documents that he could maybe sell to people blackmail people with shit like that if there's because clearly just like cover up the evidence in which case i have which is also another crime flush that shit. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. But that's what I'm saying. He would have burned that shit, right? Yeah, that's what I'm like. This is objectively funny. Because I'm like, in no way are you...
Starting point is 00:31:12 I don't know what your angle is. You handled it all wrong. Right. I don't know what the angle is. This is hilarious. Yeah. I would say the one skill that he has more than any other president we've had is he's better at getting
Starting point is 00:31:25 away with crimes than i think most most presidents because or you know like outside of the official channels of like doing the crimes through the cia or fbi so like i just i don't know like i my muller sense is tingling like some some of the shit in the new york times thing was just like the search however does not mean prosecutors have determined that mr trump committed a crime despite the historical and political it's just it it worries me that like the this will come to nothing other than you know like it there i i don't think they're going to stage a successful civil war over this but i do think there's going to be violence well they're definitely going to feel yeah they definitely going to feel like vindicated like this is the stuff we've been
Starting point is 00:32:09 telling you we told you this was coming right and that's what they've been saying they said if they can do it to president every a lot of politicians have had a version of they if they can do this to president trump they can do it to you well they have done it to us so i do it to people they do it to people all the time right number one you mean people who commit crimes yeah so that's the other thing so that's why i'm like that's the thing when i think about like that that like far right circle or even these uh all of a sudden these republicans that are on some defund the police situations now right like i'm like okay so here here's what i don't understand and i would love some clarity on this like where how are y'all
Starting point is 00:32:44 thinking about this like when i think about in the fight for justice freedom and equality or even just street life we're under no delusions that we're committing crimes right like even if it's like civil unrest yeah like i know this is a crime so the feds are a matter of time. Right. Like I know they're coming. Right. Because these because these sit ins, you know, say that Dr. King states are crimes like we know that. You know, I'm saying the difference is the feds was coming with the feds don't want black people to organize. So they was coming whether we was committing crimes or not. Right. But since we committing crimes, I know. But it's the right thing to do because we need because of the course of justice right right so my question with them is like okay so which one is it is it like are you do you understand that he committed crimes
Starting point is 00:33:38 no it's just the right thing to do or do no because then the right thing innocent you understand what I'm saying Well he's innocent in the sense that The reason people are trying to Prosecute him, persecute him Is for the wrong reasons And it's not about That there is a
Starting point is 00:33:57 Because all the time Suddenly the Hillary email thing doesn't matter Documents don't matter Trump was mad at James Comey for having documents And tried to get him like, you know, under the jail for stuff like that. All it is, is no, man, we're going to do whatever the fuck we need to do. So all y'all are bowing at our feet. That's it. It doesn't matter. At the end of the day. Yeah. Cause I'm like, okay, so yeah, you're right. So it's like, I mean, obviously like we know at the, at the core, this is what they saying. I'm just like, man, let me follow your logic, though, because is he is he is he fighting for the soul of our country?
Starting point is 00:34:31 And sometimes you got to break some eggs. And, you know, he broke eggs or you're like, he's done nothing wrong this whole time. And that's the part that I'm like, I don't get it. It's breaking eggs because there was a study about how conservatives are like exponentially more forgiving if they find out a politician of their party committed a crime, like paying somebody to give false testimony. Yeah. In this poll, they found that Republicans were like way more accepting, like, I don't know if that's what you got to do. Like, so in a way, they they're kind of soprano fight in their mindset, like they're on gangster shit where they're like yeah we know it's dirt but that's what you got to do to stay on top and yeah like along with all of this it's just kind of we have all these dimensions of trying to understand when when is there going to be any kind of accountability who's going to bring it is is merrick garland going to do anything i mean this is a huge thing like it is yeah whether or not the doj actually knows like if
Starting point is 00:35:25 they're gonna be able to wrap this shit up properly that's a whole that's the other part i'm like i'm curious where this lands because yeah for sure a lot of people describe it as crossing the rubicon like you raid a former president's house with the fbi that's a that's a move it really is are you gonna come are they half stepping and being like, I think this will be the stuff that sticks or are they really like, no, OK, this is just the final piece, whatever. It's really that's the part that I think is variable. And I'm not quite sure of at the moment. Yeah. Yeah. What if you just had like the binder that had all the details of who killed JFK? And he was just like, you're going to let me be president again. Yeah. He's like, I'll tell everybody. I'll tell him. I'll tell him.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I'll tell him. Like that feels like the sort of shit that would work and work itself out in his brain. Or he's been like double hoodwinked where they made a fake binder of secrets that he thinks is all real. They're like, yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Right. The things that worry me, and this might just be because like most of the sort of main reporting this happened is in the new york times but like the appeal to like it being a double standard mr trump who campaigned on criticizing hillary's practice of maintaining a private email server was known throughout his term to rip up official material like that is not going to be enough. You know? No. Right. Like, they need a smoking gun, and I'm hoping that they recognize that they needed to, like, have a smoking gun and be super confident it was there if they were going to do this shit. Also, I'm, like, losing faith in our ability to pull off, like, you know, conspiracy theories. How the fuck are you not just like getting to the cleaning person
Starting point is 00:37:05 like right you know sending ethan hunt in there to right steal that shit what's going on unless they're trying to send a message right yeah yeah it's yeah there's like i i there's all yeah there's that the the new york times of it all that is always on some like oh yeah this is it you know it's like okay yo chill like it's like is it you know it's like okay yo chill like it's like the crocs thing it's like okay it's dope chill fam like but chill i you know i think the other part is to in any other time you'd say this could potentially be like you know sensitive documents as it pertains to national security there's like right there are a couple ways to actually describe what it is.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And I think it's very charitable for a lot of people saying he mishandled documents when the crime could potentially be, he's taking top secret shit to Mar-a-Lago as like an insurance policy, or maybe to set up some other power move down the road. And that's a threat to the Soviets. Awesome. Like just go back to the eighties. Yeah. Yeah. He's talking to the Soviets and selling secrets to the soviets on some like just go back to the 80s yeah yeah he's talking to the soviets and the conservatives because yeah because it's like it's uncharted
Starting point is 00:38:11 but it's like okay of all the things that are uncharted this the last part this the part that makes the most sense is like of all the uncharted stuff right what's uncharted is somebody losing an election and acting like they ain't lost what's uncharted you know what i'm saying is actually taking a box out the way you know the only part that makes sense is the feds being like hey you can't take that yeah what what is what is he doing they're like did you ask him they're like yo he said fuck you last time i came last time so i That's what he said. So I'm like, what? Yeah. The other thing that jumped out to me in the Times reporting on this is they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:38:54 So in January of this year, the archives received 15 boxes from Trump that he had taken with him to Mar-a-Lago. And we're just never going to know what was in that shit. Mar-a-Lago and we're just never going to know what was in that shit, or at least like not for decades because they described the classified material. They didn't describe the classified material it found other than to say that it was, quote, classified national security information. Like that's not going to be enough. They're really going to need to. gonna need to they said some of the things that they're potentially retrieving in that raid were like too too sensitive to even describe what the documents were that's crazy man but i don't know and i'm saying that's the thing is like if it is that then the you know journalists have a responsibility to not be like he's like he was playing messing around with papers yeah right no this is real because it is it is the move of like a greedy
Starting point is 00:39:45 motherfucker who's like on his way out of their free hotel stay and he's like i'm gonna take the bathrobes i'm gonna take the fucking towels yeah i'm gonna get something out of me leaving here right now yeah and that is the mindset of someone dirty like that which would be box up this sensitive material because i might be able to use that shit later i don't know when yeah maybe he don't even know what's in it he might not even know all that's in it he might just be like i'm just gonna take this it's probably something dope in here i don't know yet yeah if it's that like i don't i i don't know i i think it needs to be connected to his like attempts to yeah fix the election for it to pay off in the american like mind in some way you know yeah sure there's
Starting point is 00:40:27 and there's a ton of speculation of like what could be in there like is it the phone transcripts with zelensky that was part of his first impeachment is it stuff in the lead up to january 6th is it stuff about tom barrack who is a huge donor who asked him to meet with like officials from cutter or like yeah i'm a pardon there's plenty of shit that i believe is that many people are like if there is there could be a lot of incriminating shit in there that's for sure when you look at all the controversy surrounding him and what he would choose to be like i gotta hold on to this like why would he not tear that that's the thing like that it feels like the the I think about it, I hadn't really been able to wrap my mind around as much you know yeah as if it were like documents with him trying to fix the election which we know he did we just i don't think the
Starting point is 00:41:34 evidence exists but then but then you fall into the trap of like well it's got to be bad of enough of a crime that these fucking people who support him understand that's not going to happen that's never gonna happen so i just want the rest of the people to understand yeah and they should at least if if the charges guys got classified material and you're fucking taking it to have a stroll with or potentially sell it most people be like yeah you can't do that shit that's what do you do for it huh what do you get but i and i just want to say like the response like to your point of like the the on the right they don't know what the fuck to say right now aside from just like absolute anger because if the figurehead can be toppled by the fbi then that means they're everybody's now anyone can get touched yeah exactly and i think also but also like even
Starting point is 00:42:21 on their side of the thing like they have to have to know, like, when everybody go home, that he the most reckless person they got in their squad. Like, they're like, on the other hand, you know, you real reckless. You know what I'm saying? So I just I have to believe, even in all of their ghoulishness, that you have some sense of logic of like, well, I mean, it could happen to anybody. But also, I think most of us got sense enough to know not to take a box home right well but that's the thing right you know what i'm saying if the if the person you you know is the figurehead of your movement can get away with all kinds of crimes that that that bleeds into the the base and they're like yeah man true but if you like look
Starting point is 00:43:01 like again her politics antennas if like if you're're your one friend that's like, should I go in their house? I don't care. I'll get fucked. I'll go in there and take that. It's like, all right, go ahead. You know, it's like because just because you did it the last two houses, you think you OK to go in there and steal this PS4. OK, go for it. Yeah. You realize when you realize that this fool's mom's boyfriend who are old school, just happened to be taking a nap in the back and he see your little ass in the bed. You know what I'm saying? Right. And beat you to a pulp. Then I'm like, well, I mean, if it happened to him, happened to anybody.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Also, I knew not to go into that boy's house. Right. I feel like we're using our brains to try to think like them and they are authoritarian. Like they, you know, they they think that Trump should be able to break all the rules, including kill people like that. came out like during his campaign he came out was like i could shoot someone in fucking park avenue and they were like hell yeah and that like that is the fundamental right wing ideology bleeding through is that they are authoritarians they don't give a fuck like you know yeah right if i say it's right yeah if there's anything that just resembles accountability it's a disaster because the momentum in their minds of the movement is to just like just flood through everything and be like no you can't stop this it's we we said we're done with this it's all ethno-nationalism now fuck yes i mean they've
Starting point is 00:44:36 known that shit since fred hampton was killed by the fbi like it's not like they don't think that happened they know that happened at some level they They just don't give a fuck. Which is really interesting because they have people on Fox the night of the raid. A lot of people, especially people like Matt Gaetz, who are, you know, being investigated by the FBI. Yeah, the FBI needs to go. Marjorie Taylor Greene's like, we got to get rid of this shit. And I want you to hear this other pundit on Fox, too, who goes, who's also, this is like this, this F like down with the FBI take has gained so much steam with this raid. But I just want you to hear this because this is another take on Fox about how this thing needs to be completely dissolved.
Starting point is 00:45:15 This is a wake up call for those in Congress to be able to use the tools at their disposal to defund the FBI, to ask the right questions, and to prepare for a church-style commission next year, if given a Republican majority, to dismantle the FBI into a thousand bits. Yeah. Yeah. Is that Laura Ingraham coming in there and just like kind of bored?
Starting point is 00:45:39 For sure. That's the thing. That's what I'm saying. It's objectively funny. That is funny. It's objectively funny. That is funny. It's wild. You can't have you can't step. First of all, look, I don't think you can step to the FBI on some regular ass outrage, Karen.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And she's like, you know, actually, this needs to be abolished. Blah, blah, blah. They get their man. I'm like, I don't. Yeah. Name. FBI ain't taking no losses ever. That's that's I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:46:04 That's a weird enemy to articulate as a, like a political entity. And I'm like, what is this? What is being said at the FBI now? And they're like, yo, a lot of these people really think they can come for like,
Starting point is 00:46:16 fam. I'm like, check the scoreboard. My G. That's what I'm trying to say. I'm like, they don't take L's. Like,
Starting point is 00:46:23 I remember when he first started messing with, like, that was one thing we talked about on the show too where it's like bro like you could ask the mob you could ask the black panthers you guys listen he told you about them feds you're not gonna win this one big dog and i don't know that's but then it's wild right because then or yeah the thing is you come to power then you put stooges in and it just becomes a crew of people with guns who just become your other so it's just wild to see how there's so many moving parts right now and yeah meanwhile you do have eric trump i just want to play this clip of him he sounded like he was running out of steam to be like to try and like
Starting point is 00:46:57 articulate any outrage because like his dad just got his shit raided and i don't know he's definitely he's running out of gas on the outrage. And going back to Hillary, there's a whole lot of other things. How about the Benghazi scandals? How about the Clinton Foundation? I mean, how many, you know, shady oligarchs from Russia were contributing to that? Look about how about Uranium One? You want to talk about, you know, scandals that were never investigated, never vetted?
Starting point is 00:47:20 It's funny how many times he literally said, what about or how about? That's the name of what you're doing too what about how about what about okay yeah yeah i can't believe that's his real voice that's wild yeah true all right let's take a quick break we're gonna come back and talk about some documents we actually have access to wonderfully, fortuitously, which are Alex Jones's text messages. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

Starting point is 00:52:04 Republicans dating. Not a thing uh really i guess uh if you are a really sad fascist this week and you are just devastated by the news that law enforcement occasionally comes for rich white people and you're single this week may not be all bad actually because that's right uh as if no one fucking asked because they didn't former white house press secretary kaylee mcainaney's sister okay hell ryan she's out here how many ends you gotta spell it there we go r what you know look r it's like a seven ends because it's like, and this is our daughter, Ryan. She's she's at her hawking a new product for single maggots. And we've we saw this tease before because Peter Thiel was investing in this dating platform called the right stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:59 You know, because all of us are down with new kids on the block and we can get that cool reference. But he's backing it. Oh, yeah. Bingo. You know, because all of us are down with new kids on the block and we can get that cool reference. But he's backing it. Oh, yeah. Bingo. But yes, this is like so Peter Thiel has been investing in this. And this is another app in a long line of failed dating apps that's tailored to bigots. And we've we talk about this every time they come up. I remember in the beginnings when the trump administration first began there were all these like pieces they were like
Starting point is 00:53:28 what it's like to be a republican trying to date in the beltway oh those was my favorite genre though because then they would say and then the person saw on you know on tinder or whatever that i i'm a republic or work in the trump administration and they they dumped me. And I was like, yeah, that is a joy. This is joyful. This means a joy. They didn't like my Twitter bio. It said, Mexicans are bad. And they took a problem with that, and they said I'm racist.
Starting point is 00:53:56 I don't understand. I deserve to be loved, too, even though my whole personality is built on dehumanizing others. But there was this one app called Rider, okay, R-I-G-H-T-E-R. And their tagline was, quote, when you're tired of getting swiped left on for your political beliefs, use Rider. Okay, fine. Then there was Donaldators, if you remember yes the founder said this
Starting point is 00:54:29 the need that they said quote i saw a real need for this people who go on the mainstream apps they're told if you're a trump supporter swipe left that app's data got fucking hacked like three days after launching and it was a total embarrassment if you look these accounts like their twitters haven't they've like haven't been active since like 2019 so it's it's definitely a struggle out there for for the racists and you know i don't feel for them but i understand the investment opportunity for people like peter but it's just it's very definitely hard in this dating scene and it's again like i'm saying we're all about vibes it's almost like when your whole identity is like these are non-humans these are non-humans that's not a that's not a fuckable vibe i'm sorry for most very very unfuckable and i get other people might be
Starting point is 00:55:19 like i am also backwards and hate but i have a feeling those couples aren't really going to. I don't think a relationship is built on hate. There's a deep connection there. Yeah. More underlying issues there. I just wish them nothing. I feel like they shouldn't be allowed to buy Apple products. They shouldn't be.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Whenever I see Ivanka wearing an Apple watch, I'm like, you shouldn't be allowed to have nice things. Oh, yeah. I just feel like they should not be allowed to have anything i have a very really rich fantasy about what happens in through punishment like turning all the trump buildings into house housing for homeless folks public housing and all the and all the golf courses into parks and you know all that they're just a very rich it's rich and you have to watch it all take over yeah he has to watch it all. The proletarian takeover. Yeah, he has to watch it all from jail. But that being said, I wish them no love and no – and I also am assuming that it has a horrible design interface
Starting point is 00:56:17 and somehow is like a terrible experience for everybody. Okay, well, guess what? Bad UI. The UI looks pretty dope you want to know how i know because i i'm watching the promo video and you're gonna have to watch a part of it too right now what listen in because here's ryan mcanaeny ryan with nine n there's two n oh my goodness out here uh this is like kind of like a chopped up version of the ad. What is she wearing? What's happening?
Starting point is 00:56:46 It's a straight jacket. It is like a, I don't know. What do you call that? Like a biker lapel? Is it double breasted? Yeah. Anyway, check her out. And this is her kind of giving you a pitch on why you should go to Hateration, the dater app or whatever.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Guys, I'm Ryan. I've got to tell you about something. I am so excited to announce. A dating app for all of us conservatives. It's called The Right Stuff. It's launching this September. What I love most about it is that it's invite only. Not just anyone can join.
Starting point is 00:57:17 First of all, it's free to use. This looks like a tampon ad. You'll never have to pay. For my ladies, you'll never have to pay. We all get premium subscriptions for simply inviting a couple friends. Gentlemen, if you want access to premium, that's on you. Those are the only two options.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Ladies and gentlemen. That's a stock photo. I did a Google image search. Start off by building your perfect profile. No pronouns necessary. Okay. No pronouns necessary. Okay. Also, is access to premium a euphemism? A sexy euphemism?
Starting point is 00:57:53 That's on you. That's on you. That's on you. You want access to premium? I like how they run it like a shitty nightclub where it's like ladies in free before nine as long as the ratios are good thirst outside and then come in and be insufferable because the discrepancy between who pays and who
Starting point is 00:58:12 doesn't is only adding to your hatred of women i don't know here's my here's my thing about things like this it's like a question like why why aren't? Like, why is this a thing that that that people are doing publicly because they're so proud of being on? You have to lean into it. Attractive. You have to lean into it. Right. Because you will never see. Like, I mean, you see Republicans, they do the victim thing when it serves them. victim thing when it like serves them. But in this instance, they can't just say this is so fucked up just because all of my values don't align with a majority of other people out there looking for a romantic partner doesn't mean I have to suffer. And it's easier to say, guess what? We're all pieces of shit. And that's fine. Welcome to piece of shit. Data. Yeah, we're like, everyone's a piece of shit. So you're never gonna have to hear about why you're a piece of shit dater.com yeah we're like everyone's a piece of shit so you're never gonna have to hear about why you're a piece of shit yeah that's like the whole you know safe space mentality of this
Starting point is 00:59:10 it's just to lean into it and say nothing's wrong with what we believe but also i also feel like in our you know i have friends who so we're in new york and la friends outside of chicago say who are trying to date and every 10 everybody who pops up is like, and I wish there was a Novak's sticker you could have, or somebody in like a, I can't say, problematic shirts of, yeah. And it's all like completely conservative. And he's actually struggling to find somebody
Starting point is 00:59:42 who's not like that. So I think it's it's so contextual too it's this victimization piece which is that's the part where i'm like who i'm sure you could find people in the normal setting if you weren't a piece of shit the recent thing like again i just i i feel like it shouldn't be a surprise to you if your worldview is some people don't deserve shit why you live in a reality where you're experiencing some kind of deficit of human attention i don't know that might have something to do with on a subconscious level i'm not a fucking guru but i just love my now but like
Starting point is 01:00:18 this idea though with like conservatives now like and you know we saw a tough guy ted cruzman like and you know what my pronouns are? They're kiss my ass. Kiss my ass. OK, asshole. Let me guess. You're so fucking secure in your fucking masculinity. I can only imagine because pronouns don't exist.
Starting point is 01:00:35 How one of these MAGA patriot fuck wads would be if everyone misgendered them with the wrong pronouns. If that would be like and that's fine man because that doesn't matter because like fuck pronouns like okay because I would imagine with your very heteronormative worldview that if someone referred to you as oh she's mad over and over are you going to be like that's fine I don't
Starting point is 01:00:58 care that doesn't that that completely doesn't even matter to me that's not part of my identity at all because I don't even know what a pronoun is linguistically yeah do you think that there are any people on rihanna and then i already forgot the name yeah yeah rihanna and then it's app the right stuff oh yeah right hanging in tough that are not white no i'm sure well the one test person they had herschel walker's son well no but i believe i is he not openly gay or is he not gay can we talk about christian walker
Starting point is 01:01:33 yeah maybe oh that's right so he's not well i'm not gonna speculate but either way i'm not sure who is gonna be on that app i mean i'm sure they are a lot look there are plenty of as i've seen it myself plenty of people with uh self-consuming inward focused white supremacy that takes over their mind so they may be there and you know that's like the coolest person on the app do they get premium access not if they have a penis sorry you have to pay with all the other losers but i think what's another interesting thing is there's analysis too about dating how it's generally it's skewing more uh like men they're going to be more lonely men as just like if you're looking very narrowly like cis relationships your standards are women's standards are going up or just have like more realistic boundaries like
Starting point is 01:02:21 not willing to put up with bullshit so then there's like men who are like i was raised like fucking with no skills of self-awareness also the world is changing around me maybe i can go to my app called caveperson.com my dick is small yeah right if the outcome of all this is we have less shitty dudes thumbs thumbs way way up. The problem with that, though, is that I mean, so I'm reading a book right now, as Rebecca knows, it's called The Men. And it is, it came out earlier this year, and I believe it's Sandra Newman,
Starting point is 01:02:56 Newhouse. I'm so sorry. I'll look it up. I'll have it by the end of this. But it's sci-fi about if all the men disappeared one day every single person with a y chromosome disappeared in the same moment from the face of the earth and also like pregnancies disappeared and like all all y chromosomes disappeared shout out the x6 818xx um but it's like the idea that all of these shitty men go away is a great one.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Except the problem is that in our world, the shitty men don't go away. They like band together and because become triply shitty and violent to everybody else. We got to like fix the shitty men. Yeah. But if they're on caveman.com, then how do we get to them? Caveman.com. Well, hopefully then their technologies won't evolve past sticks and stones they'll be they'll be frightened to death at the sight of a fucking flashlight
