Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome to an emergency broadcastof the overshadowed podcast.

(00:04):
Charles is not here with us today,but I felt it was.
I felt it was my duty as a memberof the mainstream media to come on here
and to report with a heavy heart,might I add, about the tragedy
that's currently unfoldingon the tropical island of Fiji?
Sierra has been voted off of Love Island,

(00:26):
and you might say,why aren't you talking about the floods?
What about Iran?
Not important pales in comparison.
Honestly, if anything's going to spark offWorld War three,
it's going to be Sierra'suse of the C-word, I think.
I think that's the real threat todemocracy that we need to face right now.
And the real question that I have is why?

(00:47):
No, when did we start
looking to the contestants of Love Island
to be the archetypes of moral,
social and racial virtue?
All right. Have you seen the show?
These people are spittingmilk into each other's mouths
to win $100,000, right?

(01:09):
They're sloots trying to get paid.
We don't look to them as role models.
This is like when people,you know, lionize athletes and they think
just because some six, six, 300 poundfreak of nature
can throw a football acrossan entire field that he is supposed to be
who you model a good marriage after,it's not it doesn't make sense.

(01:31):
It's incompatible.
So so I don't understand.
I mean, have you seen it?Have you seen the show?
I see the showand I think, okay, all of the,
the only, the only takeaway that I havefrom watching Love Island
is that all of the contestantsparents must be dead.
That's the only way I would dothe show is if all my parents were dead.
Right? If my.

(01:51):
Maybe my mom and dad got divorced,they got remarried.
Then four have to go, right?
My grandparents, hopefully they're gone.
That's the only way that I wouldthat I would have simulated sex
with strangers on televisionto win $100,000 and find true love.
And it's crazy to me that we arethat we're just like,

(02:11):
ripping these people apart for.
Yes, they they said a naughty word.
They've said a very bad, naughty word.
But what do you expect?
Have you seen their actions?
I'm not surprisedthat they're using bad words.
And there's an unfortunate truth in here
that I hate to be the bearer of,especially as a guy who looks like this.

(02:33):
But listen, folks, the truth is the truth.
No matter whatwhite head it comes out of or, what?
You know, the other colors have heads.
But here's the situation.
Is that the the Latino, the Latin X,the Latinx community
does feel a certain entitlement

(02:53):
to using slurs of other communities.
All right.
And I don't want to make a I don't want topaint in broad strokes here.
But they're not only taking our jobs,they're taking our slurs.
If I had a nickel for every timesomeone called me a cracker in Spanish,
which I don't even know what it is,but I can tell by the hate in their eyes
that that it's that wordthey had this problem with with with you.

(03:15):
Lisa. What's your name?
Eliana. Rafiq. You? Lisa.
They have this problem with you.
Lisa. Episode two.
Episode 2 or 3.
I think she was
she was ousted because a buffet of clipssurfaced of her saying the N-word.
I think she was trying to beatRogan's record.
I'm not sure, but it itit didn't reflect well on Peacock.

(03:38):
And so the higher ups at Comcastsaid, oh, she's gotta go.
And apparently they didn't do enough duediligence.
All right.
I guess I didn't didn'tgo through the files enough
to see thatnot everyone had a sparkling clean record.
All right.
She may have had the green card,
but she also thought she had a black cardand a yellow card, and they didn't.

(04:00):
They didn't have those.
They just had a birth certificate.
But unfortunately,that is not enough to use those words.
And they're not good words.I don't use them.
You shouldn't use them.
But do you need to get kicked offof a reality show where you're
basically having sex with people
because you use a bad word in a, in ain an Instagram story?

(04:20):
Is that where we're at?
I mean, I've already watched I'mso invested in this show.
You are doing moreharm to the Asian community.
Who is currently caught upwith Love Island and has invested
at least 22 hours in this seasonto see who wins the honey.
The Honey Grand.
All right, that'sthat is doing far more harm.

(04:41):
Is removing a frontrunner
and just throwing the whole thinginto chaos.
I'm not part of that community,but I am certainly part of the community
that's caught up.
I've invested about, exactly 24 hours,
about exactly 24
hours into seeing these idiots open mouth
kiss each other, which, by the way,why are their mouths so open?

(05:05):
They're they're trying to swallowthe heads
of the other contestants as if they think,
who can unlatch their jawand extend their mouth
the furthest is the perpetual challengethat seems to be.
The unspoken challenge in the villais who can unlock their jaw
from their skulland completely consume another.

(05:27):
One of the contestants.
That seems to be one of the waysthat people are trying
to vote others out,and I love that strategy.
I think that's a fantastic strategy.
Hey, if you can't beat them, eat them.That's what I say.
Can't spell beat without eat.That's just science.
Actually it's English.
But yeah, man, aren't I?
I feel like just votingSierra off, not voting is

(05:48):
is is not really the word for it.
What would be the word usurping, right?
Staging a coup right?
I don't think that ousting her in the way.
Like, if right?
I don't think that ousting her in the way.
Like, if you want justice.
Right.
What's what's what's justice really about
justice is about

(06:09):
the wronged party.
Feeling like punishment has been doled out
that is proportional to the crime.
But what I would also define I would alsoadd to that definition of justice
is that when administering the justice,you don't want to be inflicting
more harm than the crime itself.

(06:32):
And I'm not saying that's what's happeningby removing Sierra from Love Island.
But what I am saying isa lot of people have invested
a lot of time into seeing who'sgoing to take the hundred grand home.
And I had my money on Sierra and Nick,and I think a lot of you guys did.
I don't know whatbetting platforms you're using,
but I stand to be out of a lot of moneybecause my girl and my

(06:53):
my girl's gone and my guy's alone,and even his mom is now rooting
for the other Alejandra, who I love,by the way, I love Andrea, right?
Taylor made a big mistake.
Dumping her.I don't even think that's true.
I think he just felt a better connectionwith Clark.
You can tell I watch the show,and I am incensed that Sierra is gone.
Because you've caused more harm.

(07:15):
All right? You can't.
You can't fix a problem
by creating another,arguably bigger problem, which is that now
you have impugnedthe integrity of the Love
Island selection process.
All right.
The natural selection of loveon the island.
Right.
This is Galapagos for sloots,basically is what Love Island is.

(07:38):
We're trying to seewhose love can outcompete the other
when there is abundanceand yet also scarcity.
Okay, Darwin would be proudof what they're doing on Love Island.
They're trying to to meld the fittest
male with the fittest female.
By by testing.
You know, how much milk can eachhold in their mouth

(07:58):
and how much can they withstandcompetition?
It's, It's a great experimentthat's been disrupted
by virtue signalersand finger wagons and people who.
Honestly, many peoplewho aren't even part of the communities
that were disparaged by Sierra,who by the way, her name starts with a C.
I'm not saying that let's orsay it, but I'm just saying

(08:20):
maybe she thoughtshe had a little more jurisdiction.
She's like, well, my name, I'm Cand I can say anything that starts with C,
she can say,
write. That starts with the C.
These people aren't the brightest, sothey're probably going on an alphabetical
basis in terms of the words they feelthey can use.
Now that doesn't give you Lisa any grace,

(08:42):
because her name starts with the Y,and the word she used starts with an N.
So sorry to, but maybe Sierra,you could argue that in court
you could go, well,I thought anything with a C was fair game.
I don't know, I thought,I thought I could say anything with a c
and to be fair, I would kiss and have sexwith any one of the contestants on
On Love Island.
I just feel like that disclaimeris important to say male or female.

(09:06):
All right,
But yes, you can'tyou can't you can't remove her this way.
This is just this is exactly what happened
when Biden dropped outand they didn't hold the primary.
They said, yep, it's Kamala.
And they go, well. And America went well.
Well, do we get to say?
And they go, no, we know what's best.

(09:26):
All right.
Listen to daddy, listen to daddy and seewe know what's best for you.
And we said, I don't want to.
And they said, it's too bad
we're going to get another four yearsof the real daddy.
Daddy to,
It's a bummer, man.
It's just a bummer.
All right?
I think less justice is actually beingachieved by kicking Sierra off the island.

(09:50):
If you really want Sierra to to feel,you know, the pain and and feel
that she has done wrong, let her winor let her let let let let it play out.
Let the show play out.
Maybe she won't win.
Maybe she will keep her on the show.
And then at the end of the show
and I think all reality showsshould do this, no matter

(10:12):
what's come up during their timesequestered on the show,
texting on their freaking Hawaii phonesthat no one's going to buy.
During that time, regardlessof what appears on social media
that people have dredged up because theythey they love taking people down.
Right.
When you can't rise up yourself,
you got to take other randoms downwho seem to be rising.

(10:33):
If you really want justice,you let it play out.
You let the reality showplay out. And at the very end
you get a projector out.
You get a guy who we've never seen before,right?
He's he's a he's a grip.
He's attack. He's wearing all black.
He's got microphones.
He's got headphoneson. He doesn't even talk.

(10:54):
He wheels in a projector, And on
that screen is all the tweetsyou've ever tweeted
where slurs were includedor hate was mangled.
And then the contestants
in one last vote decidewhether you should be drowned
in the pool, that no one is usedbecause it's a damn shame

(11:17):
to go 30 dayswithout anyone using the pool.
And, what better way?
What better way than to hold a sortof military tribunal at the end of Love
IslandUSA season seven to hold accountable
these, these racist sloots,
right.
Who who I don't have any tolerance for,

(11:40):
and I don'tI don't appreciate what they've said.
I certainly appreciate what they've doneand what I've seen.
it's it's approaching whole,honestly, is what I've seen on the show.
And we have every.
We have all the guys vote,and then we have all the girls vote.
And if they're found guilty you drown themin the pool, you'll hold your end.

(12:01):
And the personwho has to hold their head down
is actually the personthey're currently in.
A couple with no and no. That.
No, not that. That would be too easy.
The person who has to drown them is,the person
who they've actually wantedto get to know a little bit better
since they were in the villa,but never had the opportunity.
That's who needs to administerthe justice, the the pool drowning.

(12:26):
I think that's reasonable, right?
Because then everybody wins.
Then everybody wins.
The viewers at home, who, by the way,for the most part, don't give a shoot
what these people have said.They're watching their TV.
Imagine you're watching American Idol,right?
And Chris Daughtry, he has it.
Let's say it's round eight, right?There's still like a bunch.

(12:48):
There's still ten people left.
Or how many,however many people are left around eight.
That's probably too many rounds.
Let's say there's ten people thereand Chris Autry's there, and it comes up
that he has a Confederate flagtattoo on his lower back.
And that's not good.
And that's not right.
And it you know, it upsets a lot of peoplefor a lot of valid reasons.

(13:12):
But what if I were to
tell you that because of that tattoo,he got voted off
And we never got such classicslike It's Not Over
or I'm Going Home, parenthesesto the place where I belong now,
maybe in this alternate realitywhere he did
get kicked offfor being a South valorize again.
Or maybe the songs are about that, right?

(13:34):
It's not over. Referring to the Civil War.
I'm going home, referring to, Richmond,the capital of the Confederacy.
Right. His Mecca, white Mecca.
So who's to say, Maybe he could have evenhad a more successful career
after after getting kicked off early,
as opposed to getting kicked off fourth?

(13:55):
But these arethe things you have to consider.
I mean,we can't just be kicking people off
because they've said naughty wordsbecause there's the audience matters.
All right? A am.
Thanks.
I think who needs to be advocatedmore, more than ever is
the audience is the viewers of LoveIsland.
We've dedicated literally an entire day,

(14:18):
24 hours, to remainingcaught up on this bullshoot show
where we're watching hot peoplealmost freak each other
because our sex livesand our personal lives are so empty
that this is the only waythat we can feel intravenous, passion.
Right? That is what love Island is.
I felt so intensely uncomfortableand aroused

(14:39):
and happy and sad just watching this show.
It's reality.
Heroin, and it's good stuff.
And we can't interfere with that,with that holy ritual
of watching this, these shows.
Right.
You can't just kick people offbecause they say naughty words, all right?

(15:00):
The people who are going to be willing todo the acts required to stay on the show
are probably a little crazy.
They probably say insane things.
This is obviously the tip of the icebergon social media.
I mean, obviously,If you're going to come on the show
and both your parents are still aliveand you're going to and you're

(15:21):
going to bounce itlike there's no tomorrow, right?
You're going to shake your cakefor America.
Even though your mom and dadare both part of America and watching.
Yeah, you probably have saidsome some nonsense, right?
Some bullshoot.
You've let a few slurs fly,
and I'm not saying that that's okay,but what the freak do we expect?

(15:43):
Have you seen the show?
That's really all I can say.
That's my biggest take.
Have you seen the show?
Can you believe Cierra use the C wordon a social media post and I go,
have you seen the show?
I'm surprised she didn't use more.
I'm surprised
she didn't taper eyes on episode ten,right?

(16:04):
I'm surprisedwhen the guy from Manchester showed up.
She didn't go ring a dingding ding ding ding ding ding.
I'm surprised that that didn't happenright.
And people are accusing Ciara.
They're like,oh well, she must have media training.
She must have media training to conceal so
adeptly her racist heart.
It's like guys, why are you thinkingshe has media training?

(16:26):
Because she's only typed the slursis that you're like, oh, that must be
thousands of dollars of media trainingis because she's only typed the bad words.
She's never actually said theminto a camera like that.
Dumb bish. You Lisa.
All right.
You listen.
Had a microphone and a dSLR pointed at herand she went, boop,

(16:46):
and you're out of here.
But it took the viewer.
It took the audience long enoughto find that
Sierra had said these thingsbecause she has media training, all right.
And she knew that stories disappearafter 24 hours.
That's called media training.
No, that's called being alive in 2025.

(17:06):
That's,
that's just kind of an innate thingthat you you come out of the womb
knowing that that your stories disappearafter 24 hours.
And yes, people can take screenshots,but the risk is low.
The risk of a slur on a storycoming out is low.
The risk of of of a slurcoming out on a podcast is high.

(17:29):
That's a high risk. Right.
And so I'm sorry you listed didn't
receive the coveted and probably expensivemedia training that Sierra underwent.
And I think it was likethree years in Mossad.
I think Sierra did three yearswith Mossad.
And then she did, she did a brief stint.
It was a rotational programbetween, the white House,

(17:49):
press corps and, I don't know,
she had a few fireside chatswith with the guy from Boeing.
I mean, guys,she doesn't have media training.
And even if she does, who cares, Oh,
so someone's going to tell you
that you should be smilingmost of the time on camera
because it doesn't look greatwhen you're not smiling.

(18:09):
I got that.
I was toldthat when I was on the Food Network
brag.
I was told that when I was on the FoodNetwork.
Okay, sorry to just namedrop like that.
And Burrell is deadand she may she rest in peace.
I'll get to that in a moment.
Yeah.
I mean, I was on the Food Networkand I was not smiling the entire time

(18:31):
I was on camera because we're on camerafor hours and hours and hours.
That's what reality TV is.
And you don't knowwhat they're going to use.
But the producers had to tell me,hey, buddy,
whenever we look at you,
it looks like you are plottingto assassinate one of the chefs.
You have a deadness in your eyes.
And if you could just turn up the cornersof your lips, that would help, alleviate

(18:56):
some of the school shooter energyyou are bringing to the food Network.
And so I did.
And if you want to saythat means I have media training, then
that means I have media training, folks.
And that's why you haven't seen meslip up on this program.
And that's not entirely true.
I'm sure you could go
through this, podcastand find a lot of things that I've said
that are regrettable, that, you know, probably wouldn't like, surfaced

(19:19):
if I was on Peacock television.
Luckily,they have not responded to my emails, so
I don't see that, transpiring in the near future.
Well, let's get off of Sierra.
I think I've said what I need to say.
It's insane that people are looking to heras a role model.
And I'm insane.
I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm shocked.
People are surprised.
I'm shocked.
People are surprised that that thatthe people trying to suck each other's,

(19:42):
faces off on Peacock might have said
something a little uncouth in the past.
And people go, oh, it'snot even that far back.
It's like 2004. It's like, okay,
have you seen the show?
Have you seen the show?
it's insane.
It looks like a Roman orgy, right?
You know, those scenes where you walkand do, like, a half market, half orgy

(20:05):
and there's pillows everywhere,and people are painted gold and.
Right.
And they'll feed you a grapeand you can tug on their nuts.
That's the show, right?
And if you walked into this Roman orgy,where, where,
you know someone is lying on a table and
and you're allowed to just sit on themwherever.
Would you be surprised

(20:28):
if the guy lying on the table
saw someone and it was like,he's a little boob?
No, you wouldn't.
You would be like,
hey, shut your little whore mouthand put my nuts in it or something, right?
It's just it's it's it's insane
that we're holding these peopleto such high standards.
Now let's move on.
Let's move on to the next topic,
which, it's all sad news today.

(20:50):
And this isn't really breaking.
So this is going to be we're goingto consider this late breaking.
I think we can we can cut offthe emergency broadcast now, late breaking
news and Burrell, Food Network
star of Worst Cooks inAmerica, has passed and
it's very sad.
I knew and I talked to her on occasion.

(21:12):
I don't think she really liked me.
I'm not saying that gives me motive.
Because I have an alibi.
I was actually cooking the
when she was found in her in her condo,
in a bathtub full of pills.
I was making a dishthat I learned on the Food Network,

(21:33):
I was making a, lobster ravioli.
Actually,I was at the market selecting lobsters.
You can ask anyone of the fishmonger.
They will attest to my being there.
But no, it's very sad.
That man is, is gone.
I don't know if they're going to keepworse cooks going.
I don't know if they're going to top GuyFieri.
He's kind of got his own thing going on.

(21:54):
I mean, they have the hair. They have thehe has the hair.
But I think you need more than that.
I think you need to be a little.
You need to be a little sharp, guys.
Not really sharp enough.
You need, like, a Simon Cowellkind of Gordon Ramsay figure.
And Gordon Ramsay also has the hair.
Trump has the hair.
Trump should be the next
worst cooks judge.

(22:14):
He I don't think he can cookbut he has the attitude.
So what's so it's very sad.
It's very sadthat that man is no longer with us.
And, Yeah, I mean, the chat was goingwild.
Where's Cook's chat going?
Did you see the news?
Oh my God, so sad.
And we were all pretty, upset about it.

(22:34):
But I don't think it shouldcome as a shock that someone
who has made a living
and a good a good living,someone who has made a fine living,
coachingpeople who do not know how to cook.
For 26 seasons, she has trainedpeople who have set their kitchens

(22:57):
on fire, who have poisoned their spouses
accidentally, people who have burnt peas.
Me, people,you know, people who have sliced
a finger offtrying to get the pet out of an avocado.
These are the ragtag group
of of wannabe chefsthat come on to this program.

(23:19):
And likelythey're just trying to get clout.
They're trying to use thisas a launching pad
for some other kind of careerin entertainment.
Or at least that's whateverything's become worse.
Cooks used to be great.
It used to be make worsecooks great again.
It used to be crazy people,
like TLC lunatics who have, like,
piles of dead cats and newspapersfrom the 60s about the JFK assassination

(23:43):
piled up in their home on the stovethat they didn't really even know.
They they forgot they had it.
They forgot they even had a stovebecause their apartment
is in such disarray, which only mirrorswhat's going on in their mind.
Those are the people who used tocome on to worse cooks.
And we had one of those people
on the show with us,and she was voted off far too soon.

(24:05):
I don't remember her name.
She had incredibly long hair,two pigtails, very quirky.
She knew every piece of triviaabout the judges.
She was quirky.
She was a genuine weirdowho wasn't coming on to try to increase
her following and monetize her persona.
She was just kind of a freakand I loved that.
And they voted her off way too soonbecause she wasn't a hot, sexy single

(24:29):
or whatever.
I don't know, they theythey didn't feel it.
They didn't feel it with her and they feltit more with some of the young cast
who were very flamboyantlygay and interested and entertaining.
Right. But just a lot.
But the point I want to make is that itshouldn't come as a big surprise
that, that someonewho has made a living for the past

(24:52):
ten plus years, eating food
prepared by peoplewho do not know how to cook,
they're unaware of the properinternal temperature of any meat.
They don't know it.
So a womanwho is ostensibly eating raw chicken,
pork, beef and turkey,probably deer, duck and fish.

(25:13):
A woman who's eaten every animal
that went on the ark raw
for the last 26 seasonsfor her to be found deceased in any,
way, shapeor form isn't, to me, entirely surprising.
Now I'm not saying that's why, I'm surethere could have been other issues there.
It could have been mental health.

(25:35):
Right? It could have been,
it could have been an aneurysm, a heartattack, you know, freak things happen.
I know, joggers who have just droppeddead.
I know, a guy who was riding his bikehealthy as a horse car hit him.
Not his fault.
That's not what happened to, to to poorand I think she was just found.
She was found in her apartmentand found in your apartment.

(25:58):
Seems consistent with the fate of someonewho has eaten
26 seasons worth of undercooked meat.
I mean, I hate to be crbootyhere,
but that it doesn't seem.
I know there's a saying that whateverdoesn't kill you makes you stronger.
But I have to imagine26 seasons of undercooked meat

(26:18):
makes you weaker, right?
Wouldn't you assume?
That nearly 30 seasons of salmonella,
botulism, botulism
and whatever, that's the latest terroristwe had reported.
His name was botulism.
Whatever the freak the turkeyone or the pork one is trichinosis.

(26:39):
Yes. Wouldn'tyou assume that 30 seasons of salmonella,
botulism and, trichinosismight affect your immune system?
There should be a limit,A term limit or something like,
you should be able to age out of this rolepurely for your own safety.
Like a boxer.
No one should have let her do26 seasons of Worst Cooks in America.

(27:01):
That's notthat's not a healthy way to live.
You know, and you can look at other FoodNetwork stars.
You can look at Guy Fieriand think to yourself, why hasn't he died?
And I will tell youa perfectly valid question.
I don't know, but I do know that the D andD and D's that he goes to,
they know how to cook.
All right.
They may not know how to cook forsomeone who wants to live past 55, but

(27:26):
they do know how to make something tastesgood and a B above food safety standards.
That's the minimum, right?I was on the show.
People are cutting themselves.
They're bleeding into the food.
Who's to say that she didn't contractsome kind of blood borne disease
because she ate someone's avocadotuna salad.

(27:46):
Right.
A nice avocado,tuna, sesame salad with some, red
balsamic vinaigrettethat actually wasn't red.
It was because Kermit bled into it.
And, nobody caught it.
I mean, I remember thisthe first challenge I did,
I cooked them some Thai stir fry bullshoot.
I was chewing gum.

(28:06):
My gum fell into the pan,my gum fell into the wok,
and I removed it, put it in my pocket.
17 cameras around.
I'm sure there's some footage.
I'm sure someone has footage of mestashing my gum
after it fell into the wok.And then I just served them the food.
It doesn't.
I mean, they will
refuse to eat certain food that, you know,if it truly looks inedible.

(28:29):
But there's a lot sneaking under the radarthat they just don't see.
Digestion starts in the mouth, right?
You take a piece of raw chicken,you put it in your mouth.
The poisoning has begun.
It's started to flow through your veins.
And you might think, oh, well,
that's not a problem if you spit it out,even if it happens ten times, 20 times.
But here's the deal, guys.

(28:51):
It happened hundreds of times,maybe thousands of times.
Has Ann Burrell had to eat not safe food?
Inedible things.
I mean, people
might as well have been serving her waterfrom the airplane bathroom.
This is not a safe workplace environment.

(29:11):
Someone needs to go down.
I want one of thecontestants to be arrested.
You know, maybe the winner of my season.
She cooked steak four times in a row.
Kind of took the easy route.
No, no penalties for playing it safe.
Whatever.
I mean, look, maybe the runner up,
a good friend of mine,Sammy, who placed second because.

(29:33):
And decided to cook prawns.
Something they'd never cook before.
Maybe that's the motive, I don't know.
I mean, she's my girl, and I'll testify.
Or at least I'll visit her, you know, andgive her a phone call through the glass.
Once, justice is administered.
But I don't know, man.
I mean, it's it's very sad,but I'm not surprised.

(29:53):
I'm not surprised that someonewho had to coach people up
from cooking poisonto cooking edible food, died.
It's very sad,
but I do think there needs to besome kind of limit.
You know,
you're not allowed to to box.
I mean, we all saw the Mike Tyson fight,Someone should have seen.

(30:15):
And looking a little woozy in 22 season
22 and been like,all right, we got to pull this.
This is not going to work.
So anyway, rest in peace.
And Burrell.
We wish we wish youwell in, in the afterlife, in the big.
In the big kitchen in the sky.
What else do we have in the news?
Anything exciting, anything important?

(30:39):
Trump heightens criticism of Putin.
Nobody cares.
All right, here's an article.
So let's in closing with,
our theme of sadness,
the Texas floods.
which is also the name of aWNBA team coming to you soon.

(31:01):
Why the Texas floods were so deadly.
Well, we're going to get into that.
But, yeah,I mean, it's it's, it's horrific.
They found all the Girl Scouts,the campers, they're dead.
There wasn't enough, warning.
Scientists say a hotter planet is drivingmore intense storms.
We've been hearing this The floodsravaged Texas last week, leaving
more than 150 people deadoccurred and 105 I've.

(31:22):
Dyslexia occurred in a region, a region known as Flash Flood Alley.
Well, I knowhomes are probably cheap there, folks,
but there is a reason,I'm not saying it's their fault,
that, you know,these people got washed away, but
if you live in a neighborhoodin Chicago called gun violence ville,
you're not going to be surprisedwhen the hail of bullets starts.

(31:46):
Starts pouring.
While the storm developed quickly,the National Weather Service, also,
by the way, gun violence is, is increasingdue to the, warming climate.
I've heard.
And while the storm developed quickly,the National Weather Service offered
what appearedto have been a relatively good forecast
in a rapidly developing situation,according to weather service officials.

(32:07):
Well, that's that's not good.
While the storm developed quickly,the National Weather Service offered
what appeared to have been
a relatively good forecastin a rapidly developing situation.
All right, well, whoever the meteorologist
was on duty at the NWS during the during

(32:28):
the floods here,he needs to freaking find people.
You need to put him on a raft,and he doesn't get to come back until he's
recovered a few bodiesand saved a few dogs.
How about that? All right.
That guy needs to be heldaccountable, right?
If accountabilityis the name of the game here,
if it's the word of the year in 2025.

(32:50):
Honestly, the word of the decade,
if accountability is the wordof the decade, then, shouldn't
the weathermanwho reported a good forecast on the day
of the deadliest floods in Texas history,be held accountable?
Shouldn'the be put in a small dinghy with an oar
and told to paddle to find survivors

(33:10):
and dredge out victims rights,save dogs, etc.?
Sorry.
It's really it's really dusty down herein my basement.
And, I mean, but, you know, whatare you going to what are you going to do?
I live in, I live in dustbowl alley.
Well, that's not good, you know?
God, could you imagine being that guy?

(33:31):
I wonder how he feels.
Who's the ad we're seeing?
It's, partly cloudy,but it's going to be,
pretty great day to go to the beach herein, it Galveston, Texas.
We're, Yeah, along Lake Cucamongaor whatever lakes.
It's going to be a great dayto go to the lake, you know,
put your toes in the water, throw a stickout in the lake for your dog.

(33:51):
It's going to be a great day tojust get out there on that lake, inflated
to pop a few beers and close your eyes,because nothing bad's happening today.
Back to you, Jim.
cut to that guy two days later, he's neckdeep in water.
He's like, so everyone's dead.
I'm developing trench foot and, oh. Yep.

(34:13):
There goes Jim.
He just washed by me. Well,
I don't know who to say back to you,but back to you.
Studio.
Despite the known risks in the areaand warnings that were issued around
midnight Thursday,
the floods became one of the deadliestweather events in recent American history.
How did that happen?
It's too early to say with certaintythat these slow moving, moving
thunderstorms were made worseby manmade climate change.

(34:35):
air is getting warm, airit holds more moisture.
Bla bla bla bla bla.
Lack of flash flood warning systemsalong the banks of the Guadalupe River.
Officialsconsidered installing such a system
eight years ago,but ultimately decided against it.
I'm guessing due to cost. Well.
I wonder?
Well,let's see how much 105 lives are worth

(34:58):
in terms of the budgets of TexasHill Country.
For years, local officials kept them safewith a word of mouth system.
When floodwaters startedraging up river, camp
leaders warn those downrivera water surge was coming.
But was that enough?
Obviously not.
The old can attach to a stringattached to a can system.

(35:20):
Was not enough of an early alarm system
to warn peopleto get to safety for these floods.
Yikes.
Officials considered supplementingthe system with sirens and river gauges.
I guess that's just a yeah.
Along with other modern communicationtools, we can do all the water level

(35:42):
monitoring we want,but if we don't get that information
to the public in a timely way,this whole thing is not worth it.
When catastrophicfloodwaters surge through Kern County
last week, there were no sirensor early flood monitors.
Instead, there were text alerts
that came late for some residentsand were dismissed or unseen by others.
Guys who pays attention to text alerts?

(36:04):
Any text alert I get emergency.
Thunderstorm. Child missing.
Elder captured.
Tornado coming your way.
I'm like dismiss.
It's not real.
Anything I get on my phonevia text is not real.
Joe Biden is not texting me.
Kamala is not texting me.

(36:26):
There is no tornado.
Okay?
That is not auspicious.
That lamp was gonna fall anyway.
Look, it's.
You can't send out a text alert to people.
First of all, a lot of people haveairplane mode on. Right?
Because they're being so suckedinto their phones,
we literally have to throw theminto the couch across the room
and put it on airplane mode.
We have to pretend now, like we're on anairplane just so we can get anything done

(36:50):
so we can respond to an emailso we can go outside
so we can look into the eyes of our dogand remember that we have a dog.
No one's
we're doing everything we can
to be a sane person in society.
By removing ourselves from our phones.
We're trying to gain distanceand set boundaries with our phones.

(37:12):
Okay, you can't tell me that a text alertis going to save anybody.
Why does it text alerts saved anybody?
I never write you get a text,you go, hey, there's a baby missing.
I it's a block away from you.
You go delete and then you Googlehow to silence Amber alert notifications.
That's what you do.

(37:32):
right. Do you want to know whythey showed up late?
Because everyone
had freaking jailbroken their phoneand turned off all this bullshoot, right?
I'm trying to sleep.
I don't need to knowthat a flood's coming.
All right.If it's going to take. I've seen movies.
I've seen people waking upin the middle of a river on a mattress.
Fine. I need to get my eight hours.
If a flood's coming,I'm going to need to be rested.

(37:54):
I'm going to need to be rested beforeI can be rescued.
If you're not rested,you can't get rescued
because people who are tired,they don't have the wherewithal
to make torches to signal the helicopters.They don't.
They don't have the strengthto climb on to a, chimney.
That's the only thing left standing.
All right.
They have bags under their eyes.

(38:14):
They have eye crusties.
And, a stick hits them in the faceand it's over So, yeah,
I don't think anything's everbeen accomplished through text warnings.
I mean, text warnings.
Guys, no one,no one is looking at text warnings.
You know what I get texts about?
I get texts aboutBogo deals on sunglasses.

(38:34):
So the same medium that's
delivering the Bogo deals on sunglassescannot be the one used to alert me.
A devastating flood is a roaring my way,because I'm going to treat both
with the same level of importance,which is zero.
It's not real.
It's not. The Bogo deal's not even real.I don't even believe that's real.

(38:56):
I just think they want me to engagewith this content.
I think they want to get meinto their email marketing system and,
then when I go to the websiteto check out the deal,
they go, oh, that was yesterday.
But now that you're here, you want to buysome sunglasses for 15% off.
And I go,
wow, what do they look like?
You know, and I'll consider it.
And that's how they hook you.
So I don't do it right because you respond

(39:19):
to one freaking flood textand then that's all you're getting.
Hey, can you donate to Flood AwarenessWeek right.
Can you
can you pitch in to install some morealarms along the river and you go,
I don't even think they're putting themthere. Right.
I think that money's going
straight to the camppresidents who are fattening their wallets
and going outand blowing it all on the slots.

(39:42):
Don't tell me that the president of a campdoesn't have a severe
gambling addiction.You can't tell me that.
All right? He's a child at heart.
He wanted to be PeterPan for his whole life, and he has blown
his life savings no less than three timesat the Mohegan Sun.
And that's his prerogative.
What I'm just saying is that I can't be,I can't be.
No one can be expected to take a textalert seriously.

(40:03):
All right. You can call me.
But even then, I'm going to be like spam
flood calling spam, you know,
devastating flood calling ignore.
I'm pooping.
I'm watching Instagram while pooping.
I can't take this call right now.
Now that begs the question,what would serve

(40:25):
as an effective flood alarm systemif it's not a text
and if it's not peoplehollering down the river, oh,
there's a flood coming,I say, I said, there's a flood.
Come in. Pbootyit along.
I mean, that's what they were doing.
They were playing flood telephone.
We've all playedtelephone by the end. It's not.
What was it? The beginning.

(40:47):
The end is different.
That's what telephone is.
That's the game,The people at the top of the river.
They yell something that makes sense,like there's a flood coming, you hear?
You better run now. Y'all gonna die.
And you know that's cogent.
And that campsite gets out of here.
And then the second one, when I come,we all go die.
And it keeps going.It keeps going, it keeps going.

(41:09):
And then, you know, it gets
to the eighth campsite and it's like,what is an apple pie crumble?
And come on, get some pie.
And then everyone gets washed away.
Everyone gets subsumed by the waters,
of the Guadalupe River.
Which, by the way, we're having deported.
We are deporting the entire riverthat has,

(41:32):
committed grave and mbootyacts of violenceagainst U.S.
citizens.
So, yeah, I don't obviously, they needsome better, some better systems.
And the problemgenerally with natural disaster
alerts is that people people overestimate

(41:52):
how prepared they are And underestimate
the devastation that nature can inflict.
It's like.
It's like people need to watch twisteronce a year,
They need to watch The Impossibleand Twister once a year
just to conceptualizethat you are ants on this planet.

(42:13):
There's no way that you're goingto be able to freaking, you know,
grab onto a shipping pallet and be okay.
That's what people think.
Oh, well, if a flood comes,I'll just go to high ground.
I'll climb a tree.
What happens if that tree falls? Right?
That shoot's going to happen.
There's a lot of water.
There's a lot of water, and you're one guyand that's one tree.

(42:33):
And the roots are shallow.It's a weeping willow, you
freaking get to safety earlier.
Leave, right?
Maybe don't live in flash flood alley.
I mean, I do have sympathy,
obviously, for the people,but if you live in Flash flood Alley,
wouldn't you have as a part of the charmas a part of the local charm?
Wouldn't you have some thought,some type of sirens?

(42:56):
I mean, I can't believe
they were playing camp to camp telephoneas an alert system.
That's crazy to me.
That's crazy. But this this happens.
I mean, my grandma, when we had the, the hurricane
that was supposed to just freak up the westcoast of Florida, my grandma,
who lives in Sarasota, I assumed she left.
I didn't text, I didn't callbecause I was like, yeah, it's crazy.

(43:17):
The governor, even DeSantis is like,all right, I admit it.
Weather's real. You gotta leave.
You're going to die.
And my grandma was like,
I don't think it's going to hit me.
Probably everyone around me,but I'm going to be that one house
that's left standingbecause I did the rosary earlier today.
She's not even that grandmathat's on the other side.

(43:39):
But yeah, she stayed and she was okay.
And that that that happens enough, right?
You hear of the disaster,you get the alert, you stay,
nothing happens that happens enoughthat we're lulled into a sense of safety.
That's an that's a complete illusion.
That's not real at all.
But I do get it.

(43:59):
If I lived in Flash Flood Alley,I too would probably be like,
you know, let's let's lockthe doors, let's close
the windows and lock the doorsand, we'll be okay.
We have a ring doorbell so we can be awareof what is happening outside.
So I feel pretty safe.
I feel pretty good. Maybe.

(44:20):
Maybe. What should we do?
Maybe we'll put a towel underall the doors.
You know, just like we used to do to keepweed out of the, halls of the dorms.
Let's put a towel by the doorsso that the water can't come in.
We'll put a towel on the doorand we'll lock the doors and windows,
and I get that, and it's it's hard
because only through catastropheto people learn.

(44:44):
Right.
This Air India thingthat's probably going to revolutionize
air training in Indiabecause that was a big freaking flop.
911 you had the implementation of TSA,
which granted, doesn't do anything,but at least it's something, you know,
it's funny though, because it's like,that's not why how 9/11 happened, right?
It wasn't because somebody snuck a bombonto the plane.

(45:06):
It's because somebody got on a planeand decided to make the plane a bomb.
So really,you should focus on making the plane
something that isn't a bomb.
I don't know how you do that, but,
maybe just coated in Vaselineso it can't hit a building.
It just slides off it.
I don't I'm not an aerospace engineer,
okay?

(45:27):
I, I don'teven know if that's the right title.
But, yeah, you can'tyou can't have an alert system.
That freaking primitive.
You can't have an alert systemthat primitive.
But yes, whatever.
My my point is that when disaster strikes,that's when things change.
When they're, when there are mbootycasualties, that's when things,

(45:47):
that's when at least effort.
And by that I mean money is put into it.
So you know, they're going to have floodalarms, right?
Joplin, MissouriI don't know what's going on there
after that huge tornadothat gave the guy freaking flesh
eating fungus in his whole body.
I don't know what's happening in Joplin,but but let's let's check
let's checkwhat freaking early warning systems.

(46:10):
Lessons learned from the Joplin tragedyled to several key changes aimed at better
communicating the severity of the threat
and ensuring a more effectivepublic response.
That is, the problem.
That is the key problem that that,
these emergency systems have is relaying
the danger of the threatand the validity of the danger.

(46:33):
That's the tough part,is, yes, it's communicating
the severity of the threat,and it's not going to be done by a text.
If you have some air raid sirens,that's probably good.
I think air raid sirens are good,but what you really need
is someone who is on death rowanyway, right?
And stay with me on this.
Someonewho's already been sentenced to death.

(46:55):
And let's be real,we're talking about Missouri.
We're talking about Texas.There are those people.
They're waiting to die.
They're going to die.
You know, it's it's tied up in, you know,we can't get an attorney.
Whatever. But his fate is sealed.
Get that light.
That guy on fire.
Right. You can do it.
You can double dip. Say it's for Garza.
Lead them on fire.

(47:15):
Have him runas far as he can while on fire.
Mind you, through the streets yelling.
There's a flood of common.
I say, I say there's a flood cloth.
And then he.
You know, and then he dies and,and you go, oh, wow.
Well, if the guy who's actively on fireis worried about a flood,

(47:36):
that must be a lot of water, right?
Because you'd think that he would wantwater given he is on fire.
But no, no, no, this is actually so muchwater, it would be worse than the fire.
So we should get the hell out of here,right?
That's something. Maybe.
All right, so let's see what they didin Joplin, Missouri.
Shift to impact based warnings.

(47:57):
The National Weather Servicemoved to an impact based warning system
for severe thunderstorms, tornadoes,tornadoes, tornadoes, and flash floods.
This approach
focuses on communicating the potentialimpacts and risks to the public.
Now, what does that mean?I don't know what that means.
Communicatingthe potential impacts and risks okay.
The potential impacts.How are you going to communicate that?

(48:17):
Well, it'seasier than ever to make artwork with AI.
So I think a great way to communicatethe impacts would just be
for the National Weather Service
to start sending you AI images of yourfamily dead from a flood,
the bloated corpses of your wife,children and pets
after a flood sweeps through your townand you didn't leave right?

(48:38):
And then they send youan alternative picture
where you're,I don't know, your cousins in El Paso,
and you're all playing Uno or Monopolyor whatever game your cousin prefers.
Probably kitten. He's a little weird.
You don't see him that much.
But, hey, you're glad you went
because you're not a bloated corpseon the side of a riverbank.

(49:00):
And that's.
I mean, you need to relay the impacts.
And what better waythan using this technology
that's supposed to make our lives better,using the technology to show
what will happen if you do not evacuate,your family will be dead, right?
In Joplin.
They will be swept up into the sky,their limbs torn asunder.

(49:22):
You will be hit in the face by your son'sleg, knocking you unconscious,
and then a car will roll on top of youand your wife.
This is the videothat the National Weather Service sends
you via email, via text, via Instagram,because that's where you're going to be.
These these alerts also need to startgoing out over social media, right?

(49:42):
If we're going to doom scroll so much,how about we doom scroll and then also be
kept aware of our potentialimpending doom as we're doom scrolling?
That seems to make a little sense,right? Don't text.
Don't call. freaking send me
a notification on Instagramfrom a verified account, by the way.
All right? Don't.
I'm not I'm not going to see itif it goes into my request folder,

(50:04):
it should be mandatory that we all followthe U.S governments and the,
you know, the National Weather Serviceso that it goes into our proper main
inbox, our primary inbox,our business inbox right frame.
It is a promote frame.
It is.
Hey, you've been selected to evacuate
from your county or else face this fate
and then they show you a video ofof of of alligators, right?

(50:28):
Alligators that were swept infrom the floods or sharks
that were picked up from the oceanand now are circling around your town
of Joplin, Missouri.
We have a little sharknado going.
We have a little alligator flood,and your family is eaten.
Your family is swept away.
And this is motivationenough for you to leave.
And they could even say,hey, post, post that you're safe, right?

(50:52):
And we'll start paying out bonuses.
Instagram does this.
They pay all bonuses for carousels, right?
Little, little picturesthat you can slide in between.
Post a carousel of you and your familyalive after heeding the warnings
of the National Weather Serviceand receive a bonus from meta
You know, amounts up to
five, maybe $6 for that post.

(51:15):
That's basically what I've been getting onInstagram is I put hard work and do it.
I make a carouseland they go, here's two bucks.
Thank you for participatingin this month's bonus program.
So yeah, I think that's what the NationalWeather Service needs to be doing,
because you really need to hammer homethe impact.
These people aren't picturing it.
You have to picture it.

(51:36):
People are visual.
We are visual learners.
All right,next time there's a flood, freaking
send them a clip of the impossible.
Don't tell him it's in Thailand, right?
People are dumb.
They fall for I shoot all the time.
Label it Houston.
Houston, Texas. Clip of the impossible.
Ginormous tidal wave. You guys.
I didn't knowthere were so many palm trees in Texas.

(51:57):
But then there's deathand then there's destruction.
Then there's Kate Winslet gettingyour boob pierced by a twig, you know.
Is it her?
I don't know what her name is. Is itKate Winslet who's in the impossible?
Naomi Watts My apologies.
Kate Winslet.
And, so that's that's my recommendationfor the National Weather
Service is either use AI or repurpose

(52:19):
films, repurpose disaster movies,and send them out.
Why am I not getting gifs of the movie?
2012 The day After Tomorrow.
We have we have the corpus.
We have.
We have the content, right?
Just clip it up and send it to me and go,hey, this is going to be you
in about two minutesif you don't get the hell out of there.

(52:40):
All right.
Escape the alley.
Get on a high rise.
freaking go to your cousin's place.
That is a kitten.
Get beat because he never loses.
And, go back to your washed out home,and you can clean it out.
And it's not going to take as longbecause all your family's still alive.
You don't have to go backand and and take a putty knife
to the back of yourthe window of your F-150 and scrape

(53:03):
two of your family members offbecause they all went with you,
Even though they don'tget along with the cousin,
even though he uses natural deodorant,which is honestly worse and
worse than nothing at all.
So National Weather Service, pleasestart repurposing content.
It will save lives.
Also, hey, let's install some alarms Flash Flood alley.
Let's install some alarms.

(53:24):
Let's let's put some alarms in.
All right.
The whole canned string system.
The telephone. It's not working.
Justice for Ciara.
Rest in peace. And, Burrell.
Thank you all.
Good night.

(01:44:48):
It's water.
Juliana used to.
Moustafa. Whatever the freak her name was.
She's about to get her phone backand find out that

(01:45:09):
Elisa.
It's not.
It's not because people.
It's because people have a kindof grotesque
affinity for tearing people down.
They see weakness.
And like a chicken in the coop,they start pecking them to death.

(01:45:31):
There's something in chicken culturecalled a pecking party, where I don't know
if one chicken has a little scab,
then the others are like, well,we must kill him now.
Because what if that scab infects us?

(01:45:56):
Spitting up is in.
Folks, welcome
to an emergency broadcastof the overshadowed podcast today.
We don't have Charles. We only have me.
That should be pretty self-evident.

(01:46:17):
I don't know if you were expecting himto pop up under the desk.
Like in your dreams.
But no, he's not here.
He's got to close a big deal.
So I'm coming toyou live from my basement.
But, no, he's not here.
But this is an important time.
We need to talk about what's happening.

(01:46:37):
And, of course, I'm not talking about Iranor Israel or,
I'm talking about Sierra
from Love Island.
Are we aware of Sierra from Love Island?
Because she isshe is going through it right now.
She is being testedin the flames of social media.
And here's a questionthat I have for everybody.

(01:47:03):
All right.
Let's try that again.
Welcome
to an emergency broadcastof overshadowed podcast, Charles.
Not here. It's just me.
Charles is not here.
What the freak?

(01:47:30):
Welcome to an emergency
broadcast of the overshadowed podcast,everybody.
I didn't even mean for that to rhyme.
And that just shows how how prescientand important this broadcast is.
Charles is not with us.
I don't believe, maybe he's going to pop out of a desk
or any any one of the miscellaneous
pieces of trashI have down here in my basement.

(01:47:50):
But here's here's what's really goingon, folks.
Love Island.
Welcome to.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,oh my God.
Hey panic attack
doesn't need to be perfect.
This does need to be raised.

(01:49:24):
Welcome, everyone.
To an emergency broadcastof the overshadowed podcast.
This is a breaking news story.
This is very important.I don't think anyone's talking about this.
We have, of course, the floods in Texas.
We have the war with Iran.
The peace prize that Netanyahu
has, nominated Trump for.
But that pales in comparisonto the importance

(01:49:47):
of Sierragetting kicked off of Love Island.
And I don't think it's right.
I think it's a bit of, overkill.
Can we say? I think it's a bit.
I think it's a bit overkill.

(01:50:09):
Oops.
There we go.
Welcome, everyone, to a breaking newsepisode.
Where can I get this?
Right?
Sierra has been is,
I want to.
Just before we get started.

(01:50:31):
Welcome, everyone,
to a, breakingepisode of the overshadowed podcast.
It's with a heavy heart
and an abundance of prayer that I.
I send out my heart.
I send out my prayers that I.

(01:50:52):
Good morning, good evening.
Good afternoon everyone.
Welcome to.
And,
you know, the chair, the chairs.
A problem.
Welcome, everyone to a breaking podcast.
What was I saying? Breaking.
Breaking news was getting high.

(01:51:12):
The wrong idea. Was that not the move?
Should I have not gottenI before I film a solo podcast?
Podcast?
Welcome, everyone to an emergency
broadcast of the overshadowed podcast.
It's with a heavy heartand an abundance of prayer

(01:51:33):
that I acknowledge the,the tragedy that's unfolding before us.
And, and a place a little bit south
that a lot of peopledon't think about as much as they should.
And of course, I'mtalking about the island nation of Fiji.
Sierra has been cast offthe tropical island of Fiji.

(01:51:56):
And there's,there's a lot to be said about this.
She used a bad word.
She used language I don't condone.
This is a problemthat they've been having on Love Island.
First it was
you. You you.
Lisa.
Juliana. Moustapha.
Her name is Moustapha.
And she was on for, like,two episodes until many clips.

(01:52:18):
Almost as many as Joe Roganhad surfaced of her
saying the the, the N-word
not great, not great. But.
You know,and that's that can't be forgiven.
But here's here's the broader pointI want to make is what
when when did we start pretending that

(01:52:40):
the contestants of Love Island
are the arbiters of socialand moral justice?
When did thatwhen did that become the norm?
Right. First it was athletes.
We looked up to them as role modelsand they said, hey,
I'm not a role model, okay?
I'm a millionaire who gets paid
to destroy my bodyand hit other millionaires bodies, right?

(01:53:02):
That's what I do. I'm a gigantic freak
who battles with other
gigantic freaks for millions of people,for multiple millions of dollars.
I have sex with people,I do drugs, I am famous, all right?
I'm a celebrityand I want to do what celebrities do,
which is all of that, you know, sinning,whatever you want to call it.

(01:53:24):
It's not role model behavior.
They didn't get into footballor basketball or soccer, etc.
you could name any other sports.
Nobody got into footballbecause they wanted to inspire children
to to walk the road less traveledto take the high road in life.
No, they they, they started playingfootball because they love running around

(01:53:47):
and catching and throwingand making a whole bunch of money.
That's why they got into football,because they're huge
and they came from a poor family,and they want to buy their mom a house
and have sex with a lot of women
in a house that they bought for their mom.
And that's fine.
That's okay.
No, there's no there's no clause.

(01:54:08):
When you sign with the NFLthat says that you're not going to,
you know, hit people outside of thethe gridiron, there's nothing on that.
I don't thereprobably is actually there's
probably a clause that's like if you'reif you're convicted of a felony offense,
you can't play for the team anymore. But.

(01:54:32):
All right.
We're going to try one more time.
And this is the last one.
Welcome everyone to a
this this is the last one.
Welcome everyone to an emergency broadcastof the overshadowed podcast.
There's no camera over there. It'sjust this one.
Folks,this is a dire time that we're living in,
and I would like to give out, give my,

(01:54:54):
my deep condolencesand all of my thoughts and over
half of my prayersto the tragedy that is unfolding.
In a place that south of us.
I don't know where you live,but it's probably south of you.
That, you know,
would like to be consideredits own sovereign

(01:55:15):
nationand respected as its own sovereign nation.
But people don't really think of itlike that.
And I'm not talking about the floodsin Texas.

(01:57:02):
Folks,
welcome to an emergency broadcastof the overshadowed podcast today.
It is with a heavy heart
that I broach the ongoing tragedyhappening on the tropical nation
island of Fiji.
Sierra has been voted off of Love Islandby the contestants.
No, by America,kind of by the producers, mainly.

(01:57:24):
Sierra said a wordthat shouldn't be said.
You shouldn't say bad words.
They've had this problem.
Okay. Episode two Juliana. Julissa.
Julissa got kicked off because more clips
than they had of Joe Rogan,I think surfaced of her saying the N-word.
And that's not right. And that's not good.

(01:57:45):
But here's the real questionthat I want to pose to everyone.
Okay, Sierra has been kicked offLove Island and she said some bad,
some naughty things.
She said a word thatnot since the outbreak of Covid
was it okay to say,and it wasn't okay to say then actually.
So if you were,maybe go ahead and delete those tweets.
But listen, it's not good.

(01:58:07):
They've had this problem, I don't know.
Apparently there's a correlationbetween people who want to have sex on TV
and people who want to sayslurs on a podcast, but that's a Venn
diagram appears to be a circle, at leastwhen it comes to Love Island contestants.
You know, you, Lisa, had this problem.
Episode two. I think she was.
She was ousted by the producersbecause, a

(01:58:30):
a a buffet of clips surfaced.
I think
more than
the clips that Joe Rogan had of him saying
a buffet of clips surfacedin which she was saying the N-word.
And, Joe Rogan still has the top metal
in terms of how many clips.

(01:58:53):
Because a buffet of clips surfacedin which she was saying the N-word,
I think, two, maybe three, not 34 JoeRogan still holds the title, but it's not.
It wasn't good.
And, the producers didn't like it.
America.
Pretendedthey didn't like it, and they voted her
off. But.

(01:59:18):
But here's the cool.
Here's the real questionI want to pose to everybody.
When did the contestants of Love Island?
I'm going to say that again.
The contestants of love.
When did the contestants of Love Island
become the archetypesof moral and social virtue?

(01:59:39):
What kind of upside down worldare we living in?
Wherethe people who are vying for $100,000
by having simulated sexon television on Peacock.
When did those people becomethe ones we look to
as, as as a, as a sort of, role model

(02:00:02):
that we need to to,to patterned our lives after?
When did those people become role models?
I don't think they ever were.
I don't I don't think that any of usexpected them to be right.
I mean, you are literally they're not.

(02:00:23):
When did the contestants of Love
Island become
the archetypes of moral and social virtue?
Why is it that we're looking to them
to model all of our behavior after?
I mean, these people, they're not they'rethey're they're they're on television
vying for $100,000 by having simulated sexwith strangers on Peacock.

(02:00:49):
Why are we getting so freaking
up in arms about, Little's word?
It's not a good word.
People shouldn't use it. But, hey,
they're having sex on TV.
Basically, they're.
They're putting milk in their mouthand spitting it into other people's mouths
because they want their slootswho want to get paid.
And there's nothing wrong with that.

(02:01:10):
But we can't be surprisedwhen when social media clips
and posts surfacethat maybe they said some naughty words.
Look at what they're doing on TVof course they're going to say some shoot.
And there's also an unfortunate truth herethat we have to acknowledge is that
the Latino, the Latinx

(02:01:31):
community doesn't seem to have so much,so many qualms
about borrowing wordsfrom other communities.
Okay.
And, you know,I hate to tow a right wing line here,
but I think they'recoming into our country
and they're not just taking our jobs,they're taking our slurs.
Okay, so you better watch out.
You better watch out.

(02:01:52):
Next time you're in the kitchenthrowing around
some words that you and your friendshave used since the beginning of time.
Given that you were oppressedby a group of people
and you're selling in those words around,and you're
cooking fries and you're saying, hey,can you hand me the salt?
And then you see freaking Sierra show up,and then you see
Julianna show upand they're doing twice the work

(02:02:12):
for half the pay,and then they start boop boop.
And you're left wondering,what am I supposed to do?
Where does this leave me?
And where it leaves you isyou need to go on to television
and try to have sex for money as well.
But yeah,
it's it'swhy why why are we surprised? It's

(02:02:34):
it's not like you can't be surprisedor you can't be upset
that they use these words.
It's just like, why?
Why are you removing them from the show?
They've already come this far.
You've given them so much of a platform.
Just finish the show.
Finish the show.
And then at the end,when Sierra and Nick win,
having her on in the pool,

(02:02:58):
you drown her in the pool,use the pool for something.
And if it's got to be anything, drownthe people who've said the most slurs
on social media priorto getting on the show.
And I do wonder, didthe producers do zero due diligence right?
Did they only watch the dancing thirsttraps and didn't see any of the stories?

(02:03:19):
Right?
They didn't listen to any of the podcastclips.
They just they watched everything on mute.
Like what?
It's just so weird to methat the producers didn't do enough work
to either weed these people out,or once they got them on the show
doing everything they're doing,why they care at all.
They don't care that people are.

(02:03:41):
I mean, you know,
they don't.
They don't care.
They're just trying to appeasetheir liberal audience, you know?
Which is fine, I guess.
And people are coming out therelike Sierra has media training.

(02:04:02):
She didn't go on the showfor the right reasons.
It's like, what are the right reasons?
Have you seen the show?
The show is about taking milk from a cowand spitting it into a human stranger's
mouth, whom you've never met in the questfor true love.
And so if those people aren't allowed
to say whatever the hell they want,then who is?

(02:04:23):
I mean, they seem likethe most liberated of us all.
And maybe that means they're they'rethey're lost in the forests of sin.
But but at least while they're in there,freaking let them pop off.
You know, it's just wild to me.
And everyone's trying to cancel her,you know?
And it's crazythat this is all been unraveling as she's,
you know,on the intranet of Fiji of this,

(02:04:46):
of this Airbnb with a Motorola flip phonethat nobody is going to buy.
By the way, I love that they're givingthey've give all of them phones.
I got a text and then they whoop.
And then it's all to and it looks cool.
And then you see it's a big Motorola mand you're like, oh, I remember when I
that was the first phone I bought.
I remember the first phone, you know,you see the big Motorola

(02:05:07):
m and you're like, oh,I remember the first phone I ever bought.
Anyway, iPhone tip tip tip tip tap anyway.
And then you just go to your iPhoneand you know, you Google what other
racist, hurtful shoot Sierra said.
No one's going to buy
a Motorola phone from Love Island,especially not now,

(02:05:28):
especially given that it's athat it's a hate mongering program.
Okay, I thought this show was about love.
That's what I thought it was aboutwhen I saw when I saw twerking
on dicks
and I saw milk being spatinto another person's mouth.
I said, these, these are the peopleI want my children to look up to.

(02:05:51):
You know, Kamala, Ruth Bader Ginsburg,get out of here.
I'm talking.
Shelly.
I want my daughterto grow up to be like Shelly.
I want my son to grow up to be like TJ.
All right?
And it's it.
But it is crazy.

(02:06:13):
But it is.
It is wild that all of this is happeningwhile she's isolated on the island.
And, it reminds me of that womanwho tweeted before
she took a flight to Africa.
This is like when the cancel culture stuffstarted.
Really trying to just, like, ruinpeople's lives over very little
is when this womanwho got on a flight to Africa,

(02:06:34):
I don't remember where and I don't reallythink it matters, she tweeted.
Headed to Africa.
I hope I don't get Aids.
Whatever.
Not a great tweet, a tweet,certainly it has some comedic value.
But not a great tweet.
It should have gotten a thousand views,two likes, and we move on now.

(02:06:56):
She the plane landedand she had lost her job.
Her children had been removedfrom the home.
Her husband had killed himself.
You know, Japanese honor style seppuku.
I believe it's called harakiri.
Because he was so ashamed to beto be married to this woman.
And he remembered that only in deathcould they part, and that's that.

(02:07:18):
That was the out he took.
So that's reallywhat's happening with Sierra, is
people are grabbing onto thisand trying to take her down.
I mean, people are doxing her, right?
They're calling ice on her, on herabuelita.
And, I don't think that's bueno.
I don't think that's, that's correct at all.
Right?
It's it's a pecking partypeople aren't interested in,

(02:07:38):
in, anyone improving.
They aren't interested in Sierragrowing as a person
and learning to not use these words.
They're interested in destroying her.
That's all they want.
Which, I mean, it's like,you know, when a chicken gets a wound
and then the other chickens
just peck it to deathbecause they're they're worried that, oh,

(02:08:00):
what if they get infected bysomething that that wound has within it?
That's what we're seeing nowwith Sierra on Love Island.
People are going,I can't believe as I die, you know,
because they're like,the C-word is not okay to say.
Meanwhile, they go back in their apartmentand they're like,
can you believe these cowskeep raising the rent?
They they there's no consistency, right?

(02:08:22):
The same people who are shaming her arelikely doing shameful things themselves.
And that's always how it goes.And that's how it will go.
But it's Love Island people.
I mean, what do you expect?
What do you expect?
I mean, I watch the show
and I think to myself,all of their parents must be dead.
That's the only waythat I would be doing the show

(02:08:45):
if all of my parents, if every ancestorI'd ever known, was gone from this earth.
Only then what I consider auditioning
or applying to be on this program,
it's crazy.
They're making out with everybody
and kind of a grotesque, showy waythat's not real kissing.
It's like, how much of your headcan I fit into my mouth?

(02:09:07):
That seems to be thethe unspoken challenge
that everyone on LoveIsland is trying to win
is how much of my head can I fit betweenhow much of my how much of your head?
Rather, can I fit between my two rows ofteeth without scraping your forehead off?
It's insane.
It's insane.
And then people are like Nick's mom,

(02:09:28):
I shouldn't be looking at this.
I don't know why.
I keep looking at the paperlike I'm trying to recenter myself.
I have nothing.
It's not good.
And I.
I like to consider myself pretty.
Pretty moderate politically.
But it does.

(02:09:49):
I mean, it makes you think, man.
It makes you think.
This is why. This is why liberals lose.
Because there's such, a disproportionateresponse, you know, and I'm sure you hear
disproportionate responseand you think, Bing bong. But.
