show is pure gold. Don't know what's going on with politics?

Cozy game to play? Rod and Karen has some suggestion
for you. This show has everything you didn't know you need.

(03:21):

Speaker 1 (03:39):
That was a really nice review.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
You took the time on that one.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yes, thank you baby.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Now we don't ask that you take the time. Okay,
If y'all just want to leave like a full word
review with five stars, we'll take that too.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Longs it's nice, we take emojis.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
What a vibe?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
By Charison one five to nine or maybe c Harrison
one five to nine, Rod and Karen our whole vibe.
I loved them and won a full relationship advice show.
They'd be amazing. I need that content hard emoji. All right,
you're like the third or fourth person that's asked about that.
I don't know they would do something behind the paywell
one day. I have to think on it. I think

(04:15):
of a way to make it kind of original, not
like a copycat of so many other relationship advice right,
it would be different, so funny and on point five stars.
It's from cheesy Mack who says greetings riding carrying and
Rod greetings carrying a rock.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Shit. Now I'm in front.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Your segment on job. Your segment on job potlucks was
so hilarious I could totally relate. Many years ago, I'm
talking decades. I worked in the financial industry. In the
day after Thanksgiving sucked because New York Stock Exchange was
open and I had to always work the day after.
My manager wanted to make it more tolerable by having
us do a day after potluck. I would bring my
own leftover from home because I was the only one

(04:54):
in my department that looked like us anyway. See, that's
another thing. I didn't even bring up the cross racialness
of the prob. Look, I didn't even want to get
that whole.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Can of worms. That's the whole thing all in itself.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, eiing a can of worms. You know, you go
in there be a can of worms, and they'd be like,
this was my family ate back in you know, the
old country. I'm like, no, no, I'm from I got
an old country and it's called the Old Country kitchen.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
That's where I go to come on own country kitchen.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Anyway, in addition to my coworkers having suspicious, questionable hygiene habits,
we had a coworker that was visibly affected by HIV.
We told him to only bring package paper products or soda. Nevertheless,
I never got sick because I was extremely selected by
what I selected to eat from my coworkers. Your right ride,
they sure police your plates. They really do be all
on your plate. And I never thought about that. I mean,

(05:45):
decades ago, the stigma around HIV and also the medicines that.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
We did not have, right, it was very different.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I can't even imagine what that person was going through. Right,
That's another that's just another element of this of just
why we need to just get rid of the pot
look like it's just it's it just invites more problems.
Who knows what shit was said to that person, how
people were acting, because it's already was stigmas and stereotypes
around that in general. I remember when people didn't want

(06:15):
to play with Magic Johnson because they thought shaking his
hand and sweating it on you was going to give
you HIV?

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Like just stupid shit.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Why are we inserting a pot look into this already
fraught situation. I love anything about your show and I
look forward to ride on Fridays with Karen Hunter. You
both are terrific and I love Karen's laughter and authenticity.
Thank you for both putting in the work to deliver
outstanding content and levity. Many blessed to you both. Death,
Thank you, dev thank you, We appreciate you. Oh man,

(06:42):
that was nice. Well, you know what, Let's get into
the comments on the website and YouTube next. Our first
episode of last week was episode three thousand. We made
it to three thousand last week.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Think of me, Look at me? Who would have thought?
Who would have thought? Who would thought?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
We made it? Look at us, look at us?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
I had no idea. You'd asked me, I'd have.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Been like, well, ride gonna go ahead and boot me off.
I'll be doing something else with my time.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Three thousand episodes of this bullshit right right, y'all still listening,
just making it up as we go along?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Ain't we making it up as we go along? Sorry?
Or congratulations? Right? And we don't know, just long, just.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Breaking every rule of podcast. Episode's long as hell, rambly.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yes, we do multiple shows, they yeah, And it's hilarious
because every time when we used to go traveling more,
we go to these like speaking comferences, and people in
front of us have all these rules and regulations and
ship like this, and then when it's our turn, we'd
be like, yeah, we hear what they saying, but we
ain't follow none of them rules. Everything they said, we

(07:55):
did the fucking opposite.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
We made it somehow at us. We made it the
power of blackness.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yep mm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Apia says, good explanation about the POC for Trump because
they don't want to be victims. I got that from
Jail Cove in this podcast. Rain on Your Parade is
a great podcast, a good podcast. I listen to it
every week and he dropped some gems on there sometimes,
and when he's not dropping gems, he's at least trying
to be funny and entertaining and that and I value

(08:28):
that in my comedy. Uh I don't value that anymore,
but I still like uh humor, and I like to
laugh at stopfulness and so, uh you know, I listen
to that, and uh, you know, I've been trying to
crystallize in my mind what it is about these minority,
marginalized groups that fuck with Republicans knowing that their policies

(08:53):
absolutely are against them as a group.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
And uh, I think Jail just hit the nail on
the head.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
They're reverse engineering victimization, and they're like, I can't be
a victim if I'm supporting Trump. The rest of you
are victims. Are you black people who won't get off
the plantation? You're victims?

Speaker 1 (09:09):
All? You know? That kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I think they think when I'm in this corner, he
will be in mind and see that I'm not like
the other victims. It's like when poor people vote for
parties who promise lower taxes, especially for higher incomes poor
white people mostly here here too. They don't want to
accept that they are the ones who need to support
paid by the taxes. They vote to make the tax
my taxes go down. I mean, thank you, but I'm good.

(09:33):
Even the image of me as the queen of white
women seems like a great photo opportunity. I'm so glad
it didn't go this way. It seems dangerous, you know
how some of us are. And also I'm already very
busy work, family, dogs, yoga, writing them good comments. The
list goes on and.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
No good comments.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Is this even something you can refuse? Seems also dangerous. Yeah,
never accept the queen of the white women labels. It's
a trap.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
The trap.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Ronan Raphael says, Yes, what an amazing start to the week.
Week congratulational episode three thousand. Congratulations to myself for six
years of podcaster, So I finally get to say this
to y'all. I love you three thousand. Well, congrats to
you on six years of podcasting as well, Ronan Raphael,
that's dope. Brother in Arnold Sarzenegger voice, I still have
easta baby or in English, I'll be back with a

(10:23):
brand new multi universal hustle. Since we're celebrating, I won't
make Rod speak Arabic today I'm not. I'm not a
nice am. I not a nice guy. Also, I love
my fellow the black aut tiest nation. Three thousand, y'all
get a holiday discount. Sorry, I can't offer a military
discount yet to the next big event on the horizon.
It's gonna be so great. Harry claimed your offer before

(10:43):
October thirty first two first class tickets to two for
two anywhere. Just say you're a guest of insert my
government name, which I don't think he's told everybody see
a scamming to the end, Matt Nashville, right say he's
he wrote in about his dad voting for Trump last year, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Last week, and in short about my dad.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, he's all of it to get long, please skip.
If you're not feeling about hearing about racist white people, listen, listen, Matt,
let me tell you something I love to hear about.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Racist white people. We're here for the story. It's just
what I meant to Okay.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
If you looked at my Kendle book collection, you think
I was just just a stand of racist white people
of the books. I just be wanting to know the stories.
They're not gonna skip my history. I'm not shamed of
they racism, tell me more. Okay. The anti government sentiment

(11:42):
is what my dad likes to lead with. It's what
he's convinced himself as a lifelong Republican who voted for
Obama once. Is the reason he's all in for Trump.
The full truth is he's always been comfortable with xenophobia, sexism, racism,
et cetera. He raised me to be anti government. Never
trust the politician. If you don't vote, you can't complain.
I only retained the last. And he'll tell the anecdote
of finally getting a raise while Trump was in office

(12:03):
as a reason he's pro Trump, as if somehow Trump
personally told his boss to give him a raise, ignoring
the fact that it says more about how greedy his
bosses were, because you know, they raised what they were
charged charging for labor. But you see, Trump's a businessman,
He's not a liar like the rest. And when you push,
he deflects to, well, what good of the Democrats done?
And no matter how long the list is, it's never

(12:24):
good enough. My dad is easily swayed by the dog
whis was in fear mongery, mostly I presume due to
a lack of education, introspection. When I've challenged him indirectly
on this transphobia, I thought I had made some headway,
but when we discussed Trump, he was like, we're back
to square one. So I'll keep working on him. He
is my dad, after all, and was there for me
more than his father was for him. He raised me

(12:45):
to be better, and I'm working to raise my kids
to be even better. Sorry for unloading this here. Dad
never really came up in therapy and mom and other shit. Well,
in a way, there's no need to apologize. I mean,
we're having a dialogue. This is the feedback show. It's
not like, yeah, get me to absolve you of white
guilt or justify your dad. You know, I can only
be honest about what we discussed, and so last week

(13:08):
I just had to be honest, and you know, to
be too fair. I some people would have taken the
way I was talking and took it very personal and
been like, fuck y'all show, I'm not listening anymore. This
is really racism against white people. I'm not saying you
obviously you didn't, you wrote back in, but there are
those types of people out there that do that, and

(13:29):
you're not one of those people, So I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Can you never really.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Know until you You never really know until you have
an exchange on the show. And then how people respond
is when you find out like, oh damn, they really
were not here to take an exchange. And there's some
I think genuinely well meaning white people that just haven't
dealt with the fact that black people are.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Aggrieved, marginalized, all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
And sometimes we're gonna say, shit, that is true for us,
and it is inconvenient for the person hearing it. Yes,
as a man, a straight man, this happens all the
time when I listen to other shows, and I just personally,
I just don't take it personal. You know, if I disagree,
I disagree, that's fine. I'm not telling somebody that I

(14:16):
have to agree with everything comes out of our mouth.
But it's never personal for me in that way. But
I think it's a It says a lot about a
person if they can listen to somebody kind of unload
and be like, nah, this is why you know. A
great example is like five six years ago, at this point,
there was a lot of podcasts talking about street harassment,

(14:37):
and women were giving their perspective on men talk cat
calling and shit, and I know so many men that
took it some type of fucking way like, well, how
I'm supposed to get I can I can't get nobody.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
To know, you know, that kind of shit.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
And so I'm glad that this exchange didn't turn into that.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
You know, so uh from my perspective, because just you
know how we how we are, and we we say things,
and we we joke and and go back and forth
with our audience, particular people on the feedback show. A
lot of times you can tell how the relationship is
going to go based on how to respond back because

(15:13):
the quote unquote conflict on the listeners in would and
how they respond will determine how, you know, the relationship
moves from forward, because like right just said, we've had
people where we've said things joko jokeo jokefully and or
we said things that are that we feel that are
truthful that they might not like and instead of them

(15:34):
writ and back and just more going into more details
so we can quote unquote have a conversation. A lot
of people paying the gonna shut shit down because it's
not what they want to hear, and or they'll blame
us for whatever insecurities that we might tap on the
rises within them and they'll either just stop communicating with
us at all, which is fine because that's the right
to uh or or the right end want confrontation with us,

(15:58):
like we're just flat any wrong for every thing we said.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah and uh yeah, that happens all the time, or
not all the time, but it happens sometimes. And you know,
the one thing I've just decided for the show is
is I'm never gonna get on here and why I'm
not gonna pander. I'm not gonna, you know, just say shit,
this is people want our opinions. I'm never trying to
offend people. But you know, so I'm glad that that it.

(16:23):
You know that it worked out because we it could
have you know, I was taking a chance, could have
been worse. Thanks again for the show and all that
you do. I hope to come to a live show
when we stabilize our lives. Sorry for getting deeper air
of my family laundry in space. Don't apologize fucking white people.
That's it. That's what I'm saying that I mean, Aia says,
I'm glad you did. She's replying to him. My father
isn't as bad, but he can fall into the ones

(16:46):
up there unclear what this means.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Not the ones up there.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
The politicians are millionaires, a bad explanation, isn't given are
stealing from us and lying us hard working people.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
And he has fear that other immigrants.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
We're also immigrants here, even if I married a German
Man who works for the German state will take away
everything that we have, or the Chinese even without immigrating.
What doesn't fit into his worldview is that happier family
is doing pretty great. He is happy, is also confused
how can it be? But he is helpful with the kids,
an extremely reliable family orient it's that that's good. Yeah,

(17:19):
and I always that's another thing like because I've seen,
especially over the last eight or so years, especially once
social media really rolls to prominence, there's been a lot
of bombastic declarations of people telling folks like, but fuck

(17:43):
your family, don't even talk to your family, to cut
them off or whatever. And maybe that will work for
some people. Okay, I'm not denying that there's some people
you need to cut off. Yes, there's some people that
thrive after cutting people off. There's some people that never
regret or feel bad about cutting people off or whatever

(18:03):
that there's no hole in your heart, there's no wound
dead for you. But there's a lot of people that
can't slash, won't slash, are willing to work with people
that are flawed, yes, and so in those cases that

(18:30):
voice has become so silent in our conversation where we're like,
but I think it's the silent majority of people, and
we're attaching the level of shame to something that I
don't think needs to be shameful. I think most of
us have an understanding of why, especially you know, it's
like the people mad at Diddy's kids, I don't even
understand like either. We all know what that is like

(18:57):
to have somebody that you that did something that it
wasn't to you, and it's hard to believe and it's
hard to it's hard to pull that vision together with
how you've been treated. It does a head trip on
you and it may take time to work through that.
It's not an immediate thing. We don't know these people

(19:17):
that are celebrities to us, they're not family members. They
never burked us, they never fed us, they never bandaged
our knees. We don't have any head trip confusion for
the most part when it comes to something like this,
we're just consuming this. These people like products. But I
would say even in those cases of just parasocial relationships,

(19:40):
how many people can't reconcile when you know a podcast
listen to does something fucked up?

Speaker 1 (19:46):
A celebrity whose social media.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
They beyond says something fucked up? How many of us
still can't handle that? How many people did it take
them a long time to cut off R Kelly's music?
How many people still listen to, you know, Michael Jackson
or something. I know some of y'all think he's innocent,
but I'm just saying there's a lot of people that don't,
and yet you still play that music. How many people
listening to James Brown. It's not as cutting dry as

(20:10):
people like to say, but I think, especially once you
had the racial little akning, not the George flood and shit,
you ended up with a lot of people acting like,
you know, you better cut through to go to your
family and Thanksgiving. I don't actually care about that. What
I care about is the stuff you do with you know,
your rote, the shit you can't control. You can't control,

(20:32):
what the fuck your daddy do, and you cutting these
people off isn't actually going to change their opinions, is
not Typically it's not going to change their opinions normally,
it's actually not going to bring them to the table.
And different people as different ways. So sometimes you get
people to come around because you do hang around, and
no one wants to talk about that. It's like that's

(20:53):
gone away in our society, Like no, we're all polarizing.
You just believe what you believe until you die. No
one ever grows of changes, and I refuse to believe that.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
So I can.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Absolutely see why people are like, look, my dad's conservative,
and I don't really fuck with his politics, but he's
not a bad dad to me, Like he's a good
person to my kids or whatever. And we're talking about race,
which makes it hard for people because they're thinking, like,
not fucking racist white people, which is typically what I
think as well, but take away race. A lot of

(21:28):
y'all have conservative parents when it comes to gender ideology.
A lot of y'all have conservative parents when it comes
to religion. A lot of y'all have conservative parents when
it comes to sexual orientation. A lot of y'all have
conservative parents misogic and when it comes to uh immigrant,
when it comes to like immigrants, misogyny. As you said, care,

(21:49):
a lot of y'all have parents that don't align with
your values on every point. They raised you and you
figured it out and hopefully what be on what they
thought was capable. And sometimes it's up for the kids
to bring them along, you know. Sometimes that relationship is
it changes as you grow. And look, if you need

(22:11):
to cut them off, cut them off. This is not
me advocating for y'all to like to change their lives,
but I'm just advocating for the fact that I understand
when people are like, yeah, my pops he says some
eye rollly shit every once in a while, but I
still fuck with my pops. That's my pops. And I
think that went away on the internet.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah no, So I think that the internet. And once
you realize this, you will view things differently and you
have compassion, but you have a better understanding. A lot
of people go on the internet and they do a
lot of projecting of their anxiety they do. They do
a lot of projecting of their hurt and their pain.
So a lot of is loan something that's happened to

(22:52):
them in their lives where either they wish they would
have did it and didn't do it, or either they
did it and they may regret it, or either they
did it and they felt like, because I did it
and it.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Worked for me, it should work for you.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
And the thing is, average person, like you said, does
not function like that. Most people, most imperfect people live
around other imperfect people.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
You know what I'm saying. So you go through your life.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Trust it's somebody you let down, you disappointed, you heard
it normally unknowingly, you didn't live.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Up to the expectation of whatever the case may be.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
It's something that has happened that you did to somebody else.
And sometimes I think people have a tendency to forget
that they impact the world as much as the world
impacts them. Everybody always look internally, but sometimes it's external
shit that you do that you kind of overlook. And
most people want compassion, empathy, sympathy and understanding for all

(23:52):
of all of their actions. They want to explain that,
they want to sit down to the table and talk
and tell their side. But if somebody grieves you, you
don't want none of that shit. You like, No, we
ain't talking about shit you and the reason why I
know because I used to be that person, only his shit.
You have done something to me and this is the end,

(24:12):
you know, And I had to learn me personally. I
had to learn how to have more compassion and also
had to learn how to not let others pick up
other people's anxiety and let it become my reality because
those things are not the same.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I think it's interesting how you went to a place
of someone doing an action, like someone did something to you,
and you know you've done things to other people. Because
I'm not even really talking about I don't think the
listeners talking about that. I'm not even talking about like
an action. I'm just saying like a person has a
certain attitudes and values that are whether you consider an
old school conservative whatever, that you would not operate your

(24:47):
life by. And there's like this. I think on another level,
there's this societal impost that has been growing since social
media came to prominence of cut everybody out of your life,
and not because they did a thing, but because they

(25:07):
have a either a belief system that is not perfectly
aligned with yours, or because they have values that you
know that that don't align with yours. You should cut
them off because it is immutable they will never change.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Being around them will never they will never grow.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
That kind of attitude is what I'm talking about, less
so of a this person did.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
A thing, and I understand, but that, in my mind,
that comes from somewhere. That doesn't that that action for
you to get to that point doesn't just happen out
of the busk.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
But that's what I'm saying. It's not about getting to
that point. I'm saying people are advocating for you to
do that, whether you've gotten to a point of not.
It's like, don't go to Thanksgiving. I remember that, don't
go to Thanksgiving. It did to tell someone to do that.
Now the persons not coming to you and saying, my
uncle did a horrible thing and I don't want to
see them at Thanksgiving. People are saying if if your

(25:59):
folks are Republican, don't go to Thanksgiving if you're that
kind of.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Thing, And and I understand that, but what would cause
a person to just after blue tell you to do that,
like like like them, that person that's telling you to
cut that person off.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
That stems from something.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Right you're saying. It seems from somebody doing something. I
think it's cultural. I don't think it's that's my point.
I don't think it's about somebody did something to me.
I think it's about the fact that I'm telling you
what to do. I'm not doing this in my own life.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Necessarily.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
This might not be how I operate. But I'm telling
you person whose parents I don't know, a person whose
parents didn't raise me. Fuck your parents. Don't go see them.
If you're miserable, if you're depressed, if you're crying, I
don't care about that shit. If you see some light
of hope in them where you might be able to
like bring them together as a family and y'all grow

(26:51):
and heal from these things, fuck that shit. Just be
militantly against them, and and just stay online with me.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
That is that is the real truth and measure of.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
You as a person. That's what I'm saying. I don't
think it's I think it's even worse. We're not waiting
on people to do a thing. We're preemptively saying fuck
those people.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
And I agree like like like, and I do agree
with that, and and and maybe I should have phrased
it differently, but I did not mean that for some
people that statement, I say, it's true.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
But for some people.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
I never said you were wrong. I just said I said,
it's interesting how you went to a place of someone
doing a thing. That's all.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Like.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
The conversation wasn't about someone doing something to people. It
was just I got conservative parents, and sometimes they say
some shit and and I don't agree with it. But
you know, I'm still trying to work this out. I'm
still trying to figure this out. So they're not It's
not like some act necessarily that they did to the
person like this, Like, but in your mind, you went

(27:55):
to an act. I think that said something about the
tone and the tenor of this culture is that we
are treating people like they did the act right. We're
treating people like like if someone said, my parents slap
me in the face at Thanksgiving, that's an act that
we go. I'll see why you wouldn't go back to Thanksgiving.
But I but if someone said, my dad is watching

(28:16):
Fox News and I'm trying to show him, you got
to get off of this ship, there's a lot of
people like, nah, fuck your dad, get get away from him.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Get it.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
That's terrible. Don't let him be around your kids.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Da dah dah.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
And I'm saying that's that's a reaction that comes from
like a disattachment from that person and their real reality.
Like I don't have to deal with the consequences of
your kids never knowing your grandparents of their grandparents. I
don't have to deal with that. So I can just
tell you fuck them and walk away. And I think
it's very performative.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Okay, okay, and and and I agree, and I do
also agree for and I feel like some people do
do that part on the internet. And I also agree
that for those people, I think sometimes it's just social pressure,
social media pressure. And that's that's what I say. That's
the reasoning is social media. Like for me, it's a
reason why they're doing this. This in my mind, this

(29:06):
ship don't happen out of the blue.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Maybe like I think it does happen out of blue.
I really do think that's So that's what social pressure is.
You need to act like this if even if nothing's
happened to you. This is the code of our social
media performance. So yes, so people take on things that
they don't truly believe because it's the most popular sentiment

(29:32):
at the time. So all of us constantly overreacting or
constantly going at people and being like, no, fuck that motherfucker.
Yes that is you don't actually need to have had
a thing happen anymore. That is the code of the streets.
What what is weird now is when someone says something
like our listener just said, like happy in this and

(29:53):
this and Matt are dealing with where it's like, yeah,
my parents can be a bit conservative, or they can
be iron cringe worthy. Sometimes I still love them. I'm
showing them that the things they believe are not necessarily true, right,
but they're in my life. They're not like these are.
I'm not labeling them as just this piece of shit,

(30:15):
irredeemable motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Right that, I'm just going in the trash, right.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
And so that's what I'm saying is like that type
of sentiment it kind of died out in our in
our social discourse. That person stopped existing for a while
because we started associating it with the worst of the worst.
We're like, your daddy's calling people the N word, and
then you coming on Twitter and complaining about it, and

(30:40):
we're supposed to just act like, well, it is your daddy,
you know, what.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
I'm saying, and and and and and and that that
part I one hundred percent agree with.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I think we're saying the same thing.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
I think you just caught up in the fact that
I'm going even the social pressure is a reasoning for me,
and you're going, no, that's not a reason.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
I'm going, Yes, that is the reason in my mind.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
That's not well, no, I'm not. I'm not caught up
on anything you you said it was like specific things
people did. I'm clarifying. I don't think people have to
do a specific thing anymore to have people tell you
fuck them, cut that person off. I agree, yes, Like

(31:17):
I think the idea of someone doing a thing is
always a valid thing, like if someone if I take
my uh fuck.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
I'm not trying to be funny right now, guys.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
It's gonna sound funny because it's around this time of
the year and everybody brings this ship up. But I
really this isn't trying to be funny. But like what
happened with Elon White, which is gonna come up, he's
gonna probably have to get off of social media for
a few weeks again year because Thanksgiving and these motherfuckers
do the ship every year. Yes, they do forears, but
like I do understand people that felt like strongly like no,

(31:55):
like they did a thing to you. You her black fiance.
You come to your white wife, white fiance's house and
the parents are making you sit outside, or they're being
so rude that you're sitting outside. I forget the exact thing.
Once again, I'm not joking. It's not just an example. Yeah,
but that is a perfect example of what I'm talking
about of how big that guy. It's been year, Yes

(32:18):
it has.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
I don't even know how long it's been. It's been years.
It's years.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
The social pressure of mocking him and being no, that
is a real thing. That it's none of our real
fucking business. They could have worked it out behind the scenes,
that could he Maybe she shouldn't have shared it because
people aren't capable of handling it.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
No, they are not.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
They that family could be happy and together and everything
could be fine right now are but the point being,
but we would always look at him like something wrong
with him for that. We'll always look at her like
something wrong with her for that. He shouldn't have married her.
All this type of shit, right because we don't want
that to exist. Anymore, this idea that maybe they grew,
maybe they changed, right, maybe right.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
People don't look for that.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
People only expect that in themselves. They don't that in
other people. And whatever happens online is a time frozen.
Is the moment frozen in time and you are nothing
beyond above or you will always be that thing. But
that's not people people, that's that's stupid because if somebody
was to take your worst moment and say you are
your worst moment for the rest of your life, you
couldn't function.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
That doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
And so in that case, they did a thing. So
I understand how people can get to like this, this anger,
Like I get why people get angry about that a
thing happened.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yes, right, we have transferred that to.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Your parents, said an opinion you don't agree with, Fuck them,
get rid of them, right. That is the part I'm discussing.
And that's why I said it's interesting you went to
someone did a thing, because I think that's what the
internet has done to us, is we are now treating
everything is a thing like you know, okay, like we're
going we're The treatment is as if you made my

(33:57):
fiance sit outside, but it really might be that my
dad doesn't understand, uh, the terminology for transgender people yet, right,
put it on the internet. They gonna get they want
to doc your daddy until you stop talking to that motherfucker.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Agreed, Right, Yes, it's it's it's it's like the the
from that perspective, every because the Internet, everything's on ten
and there aren't levels of infractions, and sometimes something might
be a one or two or you can work it
out and everybody act like like you said, as simple
infraction has has to be the most extreme thing ever

(34:32):
because the Internet, the machine has got to be always
be angry and put somebody or something in it.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
The idea that a person with a good heart can
make a mistake has died.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Agreed, It's just die.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
And I refuse to believe in that reality. Say so,
that's why if you you know, right in here and
you're like, my dad does my mom that whatever, I'm
not doing the like, man, fuck them unless you tell
me they did some egregious ship. It's got to be egregious.
It can't just be we've you know, this motherfucker believed
in this or thought that.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
That being said, I stand by what I said last.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Week and I'm just I'm more I think I'm just
being more honest than a lot of people are about
these things. I can throw your parents away because they
not my parents.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Right, That's that's I'm not giving here.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'm not giving you advice. I'm just telling you why
I'm not gonna go through all the like, Hey, he
say it's just about this and maybe that. I don't
need to give him a benefit doubt. For my own
self protection, I gotta go. Motherfucker. Seemed like a bad
person to me, and good luck if you can figure
that out. I can be wrong.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
I hope you can. I can be wrong, right, I
don't know them agree.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
I did not see anything else other than what you wrote,
So that's what I mean. I didn't even want to
get caught up in this so long. But whatever Pamela says,
congratulations on three thousand hours.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
I like our conversation. People talk about we always agree
on shit, Okay. I wasn't disagreeing you keep putting this
out here.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Like I said, it was interesting. You took it to
a to an act and that's it. I'm just you
was the one being like, know what I'm saying is
I didn't disagree with you.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
I know what you said, okay, because I wanted to
be sure that I completely explained myself in a way
that you could understand.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
I understood it perfectly from the beginning. At no point
was I saying you was wrong or misquoting you. I
think it's interesting because I think that's a paradigm shift
we've witnessed in our lifetime. It went from people have
certain attitudes too, they did a thing, that's it.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
That's all.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
And I don't think you know, most people would argue
with you if you say someone did something to me, Yeah, man,
what the fuck? Who who's doing I mean, I shouldn't
say most people. There's some people that will continue to
argue with people where you're like so and so sexual
abuse me. It's like, did you know that's your daddy.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I'm not. We're not that. Obviously, we're not, and we're
not advocating that.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I'm actually kind of glad that it came up, because
someone projecting on our conversation would probably be writing in
next week, like y'all said, it's okay for people to
smack your children.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
And you just got that. I got to deal with it.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I did not say that we didn't say that, so
don't project.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
No, we did not say that. We just voicing our opinions.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Pamela Ma says, congratulation only three thousand episode. I continue
to listen as long as y'all want to do it, Pamela,
Thank you, Sean says Roder Karen three k episodes.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Congratulations, Apia. Good to have you around.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Whenever someone tells me that they are thinking about Trump,
I say, you mean the son of a Nazi, which
sometimes gets them thinking. I even had a student say
that Elon supported him, must mean he's not all bad,
to which I said, you mean the son of an
Apartai lamb Bard. It doesn't work every time, but I
like to set the frame that these right wing racist
nut jobs are not people we should consider legitimate anyway.

(37:49):
Neither of them fell far from their rotten racist trees,
and they are both nuts. Yeah, that's an interesting tactic.
I think the thing about attaching someone to their parents
is interesting here because we do know there's a lot
of people with fucked up parents that go on to
be perfectly you know, uh, great people to society that
that look at the example that parents sit and say

(38:09):
I will not be that. But Yeah, Trump and Elon
Musk did not decide to do that shit, so fuck them.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
They did not.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Michael says, it's such an honor to have my silly
comment but the title of Queen Karen and King Rod's
three thousand episode. I haven't even been a frequent commenter,
but I've been a big fan of the podcast for
many years. I first heard Rob back on twelve and
followed you on Twitter for a while for I finally
got a ound of googling and find out what the
hashtag tbgwt meant. I kept seeing it in my feet.

(38:37):
I've been hooked ever since I saw you live on
at Negro com My husband and I were shy and
didn't say hi, but we had the time of our lives.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
And I've been.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Subscribing to Premium for years. Listeners, if you're not Premium,
you're missing out. Much love to you both, Rod and Karen.
Here's to the next three thousand all thanks you appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Michael.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Uh, yeah, that's funny too, because I just talked about
twelve with Elon just now. That's such a coincidence. It's
so random. But yeah, shout out, shout out to twelve
man twelve really put a lot of brought a lot.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Of listeners to to us.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
I know we didn't get all the twelve listeners, but
I never was after getting all the twelve listeners.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Only the cool ones, Only the cool ones. So if
you stayed over here, you're cool, shout atter. You don't
go back and tell the other ones they're not cool.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
They won't know how to take it, you know, they
will not. MS barn says, congratulations on three thousand plus.
I know there's so much more behind the paywall. Yeah, yeah,
it's just three thousand for the regulars.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Yeah, this ain't clean to behind the paywall child who
I ain't even counted.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
It's a few thousand behind there.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Two Probably it's a lot of episodes behind the paywall.
I could go look it up right now, but it's I.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Know it's a lot. Yeah, I want to say, don't
include the guest spots. We do.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
That's correct, that's correct. I want to say it's over
fifteen hundred or so, like it might be close to
two thousand, be hundred paywall. I'm logging in to go check.
But but yeah, Between Balls Deep Pregame, nerd Off movie
reviews list smacking good. Then there's some episodes of shows

(40:12):
that are defunct, like we stopped doing them, but you
still have another light skinned moment.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
I love that Real House Husbands, that was fun.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Me and Justin's fake reality TV shows. There's just a
ton of them. Yeah, I'm looking now. Oh oh wow,
there's actually twenty one hundred episodes behind the pay off
twenty one Oh god, we're the most prolific podcast. It's
not close.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
If you outwork us, goddamn, it's it's not close. And
like I said, and that's not including particularly over the years,
and we've actually slowed down, but all the gain spots
and stuff we've done, we've been up with.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
You slowed down, you slowed down, slowed down. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
I'm on MCU University every week. People, Yeah, I'm I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
I've slowed down. I will yes, I will agree. Yeah,
I've slowed down. And a lot of times when people
ask if you want me to be on, say you
on Ride and Karen. We are two separate entities. Like
a lot of times they say Ride and they mean
Rod ain't Karen. Karen don't show up and they be like,
were Karen, cause you ain't ask.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
For yeah, Well, I mean it just depends.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Karen doesn't put a lot, you don't put a lot
of your stuff out there, you don't tweet a lot
about stuff, you don't really interact with a lot of
people about stuff, and so I think a lot of
times they just assume you're not interested. Oh okay, you know,
like I think I was listening to some of these
podcasts and maybe I leave them a comment on Twitter
or something, and every once in a while they reach out, like, hey,

(41:41):
you ought to maybe review.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
This thing with us or whatever. I'm sure, why not?

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Sound like a good time, even he says, congratulations on
three thousand episodes. I'm not sure when I started listening,
but I remember the days of Group of Tales of
Hate nas Terrell Jones. This show kept me saying during
the dump years and has pushed me to view things
in a way that I never had before. I could
do without the Rby slander. But other than that, there's
a five star show because ryder Karena Hot Shoe Boody

(42:05):
says choming in the Whisper slyly, I think Rby's is
good too. Ev I don't know how many times I
have to correct this with the audience, And I'm mostly
blaming this on Eve for spreading misinformation. My Rby slander
has never been that their food isn't good. My Rvy
slander is simply that it is clearly some sort of

(42:26):
money loner.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
In front for a criminal organization. That's all. They don't
want to tell nobody.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
They'd be buying other shit, and you'd been like, how
can y'all afford to buy other shit?

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Nobody having to drive through?

Speaker 2 (42:36):
They give like ninety something percent of their revenue to Republicans. Uh,
if it was Chick fil A, y'all'll be losing your
motherfucking minds about it. So, I mean, I can't. I
can't ignore the.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Truth for anybody.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
So I remember once I think I even wrote an
Arby's rap that I made. But yeah, so if that's slander, fine,
But I'm not slandering the food. Y'all should be happy
that I'm not slandering the food. I'm letting y'all cook
with the food, even though they don't really cook the

(43:12):
food until you order it, because they're not really playing
on selling. They're not prepared, because that's not what it's about.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
They're like, oh, ship, we got to make food.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Yeah, so I forget where I put that Arby's wrap,
but it was it was a good time.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
But yeah, if I find it, I'll play it on
the show at some point.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Problem, but did you name it Aby's Rap? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I'm looking at I got. The only thing I'll say
is Arby's R d C World, which is a completely
different thing. Yes, but yeah, it was. Somebody had to
do it. Somebody had to tell y'all the truth. And
I'm listen, I'm a truth teller. So if that's what
I gotta do to get y'all to to to to

(44:00):
be honest with yourselves, then I guess that's just what
I have to do. You'd be a messenger, Okay. Some
people have are called Okay, I have a calling.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
People know many a call. Few are chosen. People come here.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
People come here for some real truth, and so yeah,
I'll just have to be the one to deliver it
to y'all. And I'm sorry that y'all can't that y'all
can't accept the truth.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Honestly, that's really what makes me sad is.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
That y'all can be like, you know what, man, I'm
supporting a criminal organization that's up to something shady. I'm
not Look, maybe it's not even that.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
They drug dealing. Maybe they not.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
But if I told you they was like the corporation
from Angel, the TV show.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Angel, they over hell fives, then.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, will any of us be shocked if it's like, oh,
that's who been summoning the vampires.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
That's what's wrong with the community, that's what we've been
going missing. None of us will be will be shocked.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
So I just think a lot of y'all need to.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Chill out anyway.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Uh, but yeah, I didn't call the food nasty?

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Is the point they connect it to the Black Cart Corporation.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Shout out to the right exactly.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
So yeah, that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Let's get to yeah, because I think Push a T
did a rap and then I did a response to
the RBS rap or something like that. Anyway, Uh, let's
get to the next episode. A next comment, hustling up
Flow says can grasp some three thousand. Last week, I
mentioned Charlomagne the God's ads here, and you were hoping
that maybe the tie was turned with viral clips of

(45:45):
him with Anderson Cooper and others. Sadly, I've maybe seen
those things once, but I see his ads on network
TV all day.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Every day, and doublely during sporting events.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
I mean, can somebody sell a pieza or something to
use up these ad slots. I don't think it's damage control.
Out did to daydamage, and I'm hoping he pays a
price for that, and frankly, I hope it cools off
all these other people rushing to bring them on their
shows for political humor. H I so, I do think
the tide is turning, But I think you're overstating what

(46:17):
I said.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
I don't think he's turning the tide and and doing
all the damage. I think you're extrapolating that out of
something that I would not say. I don't think it's
possible for him to change the damage he's doing to
the political discourse.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
I think he's kind of a chaos agent, and.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
This last two three weeks where he's tried to like
pull come back to the fold or whatever, I think
that's very calculated. I think, honestly not to be too cynical,
but I'm gonna be a little bit too cynical for
some folks. I think a lot of these people are

(46:56):
doing this because they think COM's gonna win, and they
just don't want to be on the losing side, not
even the wrong side, I mean with the losing side.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Sexy Red endorse Kamla Harris last night, like this is
not this.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
They don't give a fuck about us. They're gonna be
rich and famous either way, and right now, there's no.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
There's way too much risk of being the.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Pro Trump person if Trump wins, because we're gonna be
so angry if that happens, and there will be a
cost paid not by him, that will other people that
we feel help pay the way for him, especially within
marginalized communities. There will be a backlash for those people
that will be strong. And those people can't actually be

(47:47):
supported by the Trump voters because those Trump voters and
those Trump people cannot align with those folks and their
black audiences and black esthetics. So a person likes Sexy
Red and not be floated by Trump supporters. They're not
gonna come to their concerts. They don't want to see
her music, they don't give a fuck about her. Nope,

(48:08):
the breakfast club can't be floated by Trump supporters. They're
not listening to Hot ninety seven. They're not sharing the clips.
They don't give a fuck about Gucci Mane or whoever
is in the studio with them, like they only come
through when it's some Trump shit and to use them
for a pro Trump right wing shit. So I think
there's a cynical move where you have to pivot just

(48:29):
in case Trump don't win, or just in case he
does win, and you end up being on the other
side paying a cost that he wouldn't pay. So I
think when I say turn and tie, I think he's
trying to turn the tide for himself. You're probably a
bad example of that because you don't fuck with him already,
So how could he possibly turn the side to tie
for him personally where you would be like, you know what, cool?

Speaker 1 (48:52):
I appreciate you coming around. The reason I.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Say that is because you just the thing you cite
is evidence is the ads. He can't control those ads.
He sent a season desist. Now he could sue. By
the time he gets through court, the election will be over. Yes,
So you're blaming him for something he literally has no
control over at this moment. That tells you a lot
like he can't come back for you, and that's fine,

(49:17):
you know, I think that's a reasonable point of view,
but let's just be honest with each other. Mature young
lady says, why am I uphill cheese and hardest fuck?
As soon as I heard about the live show? Will
I be your VIP?

Speaker 1 (49:29):
You damn right?

Speaker 2 (49:30):
So if you see me on South trying doing something strange,
just way because I'm trying.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
I'm getting my coins.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Together for her live show, which means I need a
fresh the black Out test shirt. I've already started making
plans with miss Bars to hang out before and after all.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
That's the sweet Yes, get your paga finalia.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
All right, Let's look at the YouTube for comments over here.
Let's see what they say. We got say you to
congratulation on three thousand episodes, jav City Congratulations, graduation, congratulation
on three thousand plus podcasts. There are a lot more
blue signs in the yards here in Florida. Prayers down

congratulation on three thousand podcasts.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Thank you, Mam.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Sola says, exactly, It's all about white supremacy. What did
Harris and Biden do about white supremacists? Infiltrate the police?
And military poor report by FBI Homeless Security twenty twenty.
White supremacy is the most lethal threat to America p
FBI Homeless Security Again, What has Biden and Harris done?

Speaker 1 (50:30):
What? What wrote there? And die ten years before all Americas?
What is Harris done? I'm sorry I wrote that, Ai
High user from Channel Sorry.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
We don't do Republican controlls over here, and you're not
gonna get me to respond to that because those are
lies and miss and out of context statements at best.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Mary Garland been arrested in people since January sixth, and.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
He's still today and he's still getting them.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
White nationalists and white terror is getting locked up every
day in America right now, and it wouldn't be happening
under Trump.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Let's just be honest.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
I also love how their alternative is like, and Trump's
gonna stop the white terrorists. He one of them calls
coming from inside the declanhood. Paul, Have you thought about it?

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Yes? Or no?

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Because the title episode was think about it? Sixty eight
percent of people have thought about it. People have not
thought about it. I thought about it, but y'all really,
y'all really just gonna tell us y'all not thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
You good a lot.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
I appreciate your honesty, though I appreciate y'all being real
about it. All right, let's get to another episode. But
first it's about time to get some commercials. Like all right,

(52:10):
episode three thousand and one, judgment falling off the Bone, we.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Got eight comments.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Let's get into it. Apia says, I don't know where
Barbie is living nowadays, but maybe she moved to Europe
and needs Black Friendship Project like I do. She might have, Well,
she didn't call it black Friendship project, she just called
it project friendship. I suggest you started listening to Blackout
Tips as an entrance and give Karen and Rodd some

(52:34):
of that Barbie money. Is a premium subscriber.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
I take that Barbie money. Melibu, Barbie, come on down.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Sean says, in my head, there are two sound effects
that I hear that you don't play. One is a
gunshot followed by a clangy triple ricochet ending in a
grunt from the sword fight sound effect whenever anyone catches astray.
The other is the reverbrating thud of a boot hitting
the hardwood floor whenever someone stomps on the joke I
heard that thud so hard this episode. Rest in peace

(53:00):
Barbie's friendship. In the project's joke, you had such a
bright future, but your time was cut short, and it
be happening, Michael says, Rod. You cracked me up when
you said to Karen, behind all those sweeties and babies,
you're just a furnace of rage. I'm here for Karen's
outrage segment. I can hear the theme music now outrage
rent to me Himdale says, I agree, hilarious, and it

(53:23):
made me think of Bruce Banner when he generally says
I'm always angry. I'm always angry.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
I try not to be. I'm glad I do.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Karen is always outraged, and baby sweetie, I'm here for it.
It happens to us all, Karen. Everyone plays the outrage somewhere.
Mine is at the post office when people carrying a
whole ass conversations with the postal work instead of buying
your stamps, paying for postage and moving along.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Rod, You're in an.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Awesome straight man, and Karen makes you even funnier or
more of the straight man when she busts through your
joke walls.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Like the Kool aid oh man chef's kiss. I do
it for y'all.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Sean says, if they they had used rock sugar with
the Marion Berry notts and done it as a promotion
free side, maybe, but as per your survey, they don't.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Look that good.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Yeah. I I just really feel like they missed it.
They needed a writer in the room. They missed a lot.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Writers make a big difference if you're.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Gonna do it, and and the look it's a it up,
it's a it's a it's a restaurant. So I know
what they don't. They wouldn't have right on staff. And
but just looking at it, I'm like, either you go
with something that looks like crack rocks or you just
leave Marion Barry the fuck out of it. I would
have left them out just because of the location. Because

(54:36):
but if you're gonna be offensive with it, go all
the way. Don't have ass it. Yeah, go all the
way I would have. I'm sorry people listening, okay, but
just understand it's some of these are jokes. But if
I'm doing the Marion Berry knots, first of all, we're

(54:58):
smoking them in a pipe.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
That's just one.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
It's no motherfucking way like it was cracked. It wasn't cocaine.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
If you're gonna do it, do it expeditiously, jump right.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
And if I'm if we're doing a viral video, I'm
having everybody put a garlic knot in a spoon and
then maybe put a lighter underneath it. Now that's technically
like heroin, but you get the same, Like, dam I'm
dressing people up to look crack ish, you know, because
the whole real point they're trying to say is these

(55:33):
all like crack. So I'm dressing people up like Pooky
from fucking you know, New Jack City, and I'm gonna
have people doing looking like the cheeseburger dude for minutes.
Like if if you're gonna do it, go all the
way with it. If not, then you shouldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
You shouldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
I agree, yeah, because that was terrible idea. You shouldn't
do it then.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
And when I'm sure when I laid all these ideas
out to them, they'd be like, this sounds like something
we shouldn't do, and I'd be like, exactly.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
All right, don't do it at all.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Call on scarface, not for some shit. Calin Tony montanas
or something, and hope you don't get sued because that's
crazy what y'all did, right, CP Shelter says, I was
about to leave a comment telling you to put the
clip out, to clip out that judgment falling off the
bone bit for social media, but soon as you made
it a title of the episode, I'm guessing your own it.
As Rod would say, that's a bar.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Uh. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
I just submitted everything yesterday for like the last four
episodes of social media clips, and there's a lot of them,
so we'll see what makes the cutting out because we
don't really choose the final thing. And I think they
put out stuff. It takes them a while to like
put it out. They have like a schedule they want
to do things on. But those clips have been doing

(56:43):
pretty well. People have been watching them. We've been getting
some comments. I've been trying to direct people to come
listen to the podcast whenever they see those out there.
And thank you to everyone who likes them and shares
them in comments on specifically Instagram. A lot of y'all
are doing it on Insta, thank you, thank you. Everybody
does it on Twitter as well, so we appreciate y'all

(57:04):
and it helps our show, and it helps the Inflection network,
the inflection point like because they're monitoring those things as well,
and that shows that their hard work is benefiting the podcast. Personally,
I think Kon's like candas owns, Mark Robinson, Shelley Winter, etcetera,
should be excluded for the Fucking with Black People segment. Well,
that's why you ain't in charge. They are often the ones.

(57:27):
They're often the ones doing it to us rather than
being fucked with. I'd always give them a zero and
play the clip of the woman saying, think I'm supposed
to feel sorry for that bitch?

Speaker 1 (57:36):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
How about a new, separate segment just for them. You
could call it coon in the Game. I hear what
you're saying, and I appreciate the ideas. But the reason
that I like putting them in Fucking with Black People
is specifically for the point of being like, no, I'm
not fucked with when Candice Owens has something bad habitat
That's important because what those people and I hate to

(57:59):
take y'all behind the inner workings of the podcast, but
what those grifters do a lot of times is when
something happens to them. That's when they claimed that's when
they claim blackness. So canon zans it wouldn't be surprised,
and I don't keep up with it like that, wouldn't
be surprised if Kna Zones popped up somewhere and being
like Australia band me because I'm black. Yes, if I
was a white guy going there spreading this anti semitism,

(58:22):
they would have let me in the country. And so
I'm gonna always throw them and fuck with black people.
The other part is, and I think this is the
part that can't be denied if you're honest with yourself,
they always are fucking with us.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Yes, they are.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
Just seeing Jason Whitlock's name makes me a hundred your cars.
It don't really matter what he's doing. They'd be like
Jason Wuert got a haircut to day, I'm like, mm hm,
your cars. So I would be lying to the audience
if I took them out of fucking with black people,
they had one hundred fuck with me all the time,
So uh no, they stay in.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
They make the segment interesting.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
It can't. And also the other part of this, and
this is once again taking you into the mind of
the person that does the show and creates it. Fucking
with black people can't only be a nigga got shot
by the cops. I knew, because at that point it's
so depressing, there's no reason to do it. So we
have to sprinkle a little bit of sugar, which is

(59:18):
us laughing at coons to go with the This white
man shot his black neighbor and the cops didn't arrest
him because they said they was afraid of the white man,
which is a real story that we will be bringing
up one day.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
It goes a little it goes down a little.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Bit smoother when one of the stories before or after
it is Jason Whitlock says Angel Reese is terrible at basketball.
You know, it just helps. Sorry, when you read the
story of the CEO trying to claim that this Marion
Berry Notts had nothing to do with Marion Barry, all
I could think of was that sound the clip. Just

(59:53):
call them niggas, and you can make the same point
with nigga nots. Thank you for all the facts, So
thank you for you know, giving me a reason to
explain why why we do some of the things we
do with fucking black people. I guess why I do
because I coordinate that second show, Shoe Booty says, and
PIECEA is a crabby franchise of gentrified pizza.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
That was the other part.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Pizza look that good? PIECEA didn't look that good? Like
they got pizza in the background.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Was like, hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
Anyway, there would have been a way better way to
honor a local legend than a tone death mocking dessert
where it's less about the berry pun and more about
the crack joke. They could have had some kind of
berry theme dessert, which without being shitty about it, it's
your cars, right right, They didn'tven cross my mind. But yeah,
it doesn't have to be a joke. You could just

(01:00:44):
be like, we are honoring Mary Berry, Marion Barry's legacy
and contribution to this community. Come get a Marion Berry.
Uh uh, not like the Marion Berry not And it's like, oh,
because something funny. No, it's not funny, just Berry's in
it and it's delicious, and Marion Berry helped our community
out a lot, and people around here respect them. Didn't

(01:01:08):
even think about it because our coaches a fucking joke
to them. Anyway, Even he says, it sound like Candice
Ons cooned a little too close to the sun good
because fuck her. Uh comments on YouTube? We got five comments.
Uh chinga tu maga facts, says big Tone. Uh oh,

(01:01:31):
I don't know what chinga. I think that's Spanish for
like something bad. I don't know, but I don't. I
don't speak that, and I don't want to assume, So
you just says rods Crockpot rushed the judgment. Analogies were delicious.
One day Soon replied, I enjoyed your show today. Guys, Karen,
you are too funny about the movies, but I feel
the same way. I hen't forbid if they bust out

(01:01:52):
the check book. Oh, I've never been in that situation.
Somebody busts out a check book at the movie.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Register four, I'm like, Lord, have mercy, you ain't you
ass person?

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Ask somebody who's still owned checks. I'm still judging you.
We're all turning the ipia in w we know. I
don't ain't even been like checks. What is a check?
Jason says.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
The good news is after the movie that movie theater rank.
Karen went on, I don't think we have to worry
about her being in any true crime documentaries anymore, at
least not as the victim that was a hell turn.
I was not expecting that was one room she did
not light up. However, I agree one d P Yeah,
I'm telling y'all that's that's how she is underneath autist.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
I just love the laugh. I do too. I love
to laugh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
I say love to laugh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
I said love v laugh. They love your laugh. Oh
I love my laugh too. Uh noney of beer says
Karen's amc banter was golden girl.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
We are all screaming tech support. Yep, everybody can relate to.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
It makes sense.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
It's stupid, all right, Poe was Marion Berry knots I'd
buy some. I wouldn't buy any, or I'd bother them
if no one was around to see it, I'd buy some.
A seven and a half percent says they would buy some.
I would not buy any. Ninety two and a half

(01:03:22):
percent says no, which that adds up to one hundred percent,
which means zero percent said they buy some of no
one was around to see it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Well, I have to be the one. If I knew
no person would ever find out monitor me, I might
try and just to just to see if the security
cameras was off that day they had a malfunction.

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
It was right before closed. The employees was like, we're
gonna throw these out anyway. You know, there's no reason
to keep the.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
No reason to hold. Only thing we make a fresh
batch of cracking. I was just ordered to slice a
piece and they was like, you know what, we're gonna
throw in on the Marion berry.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Knots for you. I'm just gonna put it in the
box without you having a registered and pay for it
on your credit card?

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
Are you good with that? I tried.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Episode three thousand and two Typhoid Maryland. We had thirteen comments. Wow,
let's see what people saying. Don't imagine it's mostly about
those pot looks Apia says, we have other great things
America can export from Germany, cars, healthcare, free education.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
The Nazi stuff isn't the stuff the export I'm telling.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
You rightly, fitting to the baby stuff and other topics.
Uh is what is this a war Hitler anti semit
question mark?

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
Titan? I don't know what this link is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
It's a classical cover of German satire magazine that says
terrible suspicion was Hitler anti Semitic?

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Oh no, oh, that is some good satire. And this
is what it looked like for those looking.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
But yeah, but yeah, people, I feel like people treat
Tump like that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
Sean says.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Never had a company potluck, not something usually done in Japan,
but I have made stuff for parties. Once I made
a three seven pound three layer of cheesecake with fresh
fruit fouling, a filling between the layers, and a hard
chocolate coating.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
It was dense.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
Wisconsin cheesecakes go hard, but not like that fluffy and
was stuff that they call cheesecakes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
Okay, that's slander for no reason, right, Both of those
are good, by the way, it's all it's all in
the same character.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
So it was hard to eat more than a sliver
because it was so filling it took.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
I took none of it home. But my go to
is guacamole.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
My guacamole is always fresh, always flavored, gotta be generous
with the kum and coriander and chili, and always finished
no matter how much I bring.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
I might tell people to grab.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Something four it's gone, but I never had to push it.
Guacamole is an interesting proposition because see, when I think
of potluck stuff, I typically think of people making stuff
at home, and then bringing it from home.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
To the job.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
Guacamole, the at least the kind that I make, the
fresh con that I make here shout to Nicole nick
Jue who showed like she showed me how to do it,
and I've been doing it ever since that con. I
don't it don't hold like that's not some overnight shit.
I'm sure there's a way to story, but it's hard, Like, yeah,

(01:06:27):
you gotta like guacamole got to get gone. No, don't
I want no leftover guacamole, the not the fresh cond anyway.
Maybe that like process shit. People be like sitting eating
on it for days. But if I get some guacamole
that I made is fresh, I'm eating it that day
or it's going in the trash. So that's interesting. Justin,
says Barron Donalds is a first generation immigrant. His mother's

(01:06:49):
from Panama, his father's from Jamaica. Donald's has no real
connection to Black American truth be told. With him being
the first generation immigrant, he probably hates Black Americans and
thinks he is better than us, like some black immigrants believe.
I don't know how much of asked to do with
him being an immigrant, but yeah, I think we have
it on good authority. He hates Black Americans just from

(01:07:11):
his policies and what he supports. Abben says. Unfortunately for him,
the Nazi he will meet on the street, will I
ask this question about his family tree, he will be
seen as a non white person the end. That's yep,
that's that Negro wake up call. Everybody be waiting on
Republicans to get it. Hustl Noflow says on the potluck question.
In the early two thousand, I had my first job

(01:07:31):
that did potluck instead of just restaurants and catered food.
I was one of a couple of blacks in the department.
I signed up for the green bean cast roller dish
I had never actually had before because my family.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
Never made that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Because that was one of the last options available to
sign up for, I learned how to make it out
the back of a French onion can damn French's onion can.
I am a pretty decent kid cook, so it came
out okay. The dish was a hit as of the
coworkers food. In later times, working in the department with
more millenated people, we developed a methadis share with each
other the food to still clear of based on observers

(01:08:03):
of the cooks, such as which people didn't wash their
hands in the bathroom and other general hygiene issues. Thankfully,
school started transitioning to allow purchase goods for classroom parties,
and that worked this way.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
That worked its way more and more to the office.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
I'm old enough to have bob for apples at school carnival,
something that sounds super crazy to me now, something I
never let my kids do. So my view community grossness
have evolved over the years. I ain't eating that rans
at artichoke and orange dip. The other messed up thing, though,
would be when the office had a commercial cake but
the server was one of the people that licked their
fingers when cutting slices, oh, and touched them to the plates.

(01:08:40):
No thanks, I gave that up for lent until next year.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Oh that's gross.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
Ronna Rafael says, you know it was barn Donald's that
I had in mind there last week's koon Joe take
his black car to give it to Aquafina. I like her. Okay,
give it to Sean King. Where are you at in
pals done? Where's Sean King? Second Rod's point about Puerto
Ricans that I've been fucking with the GLP until the
MSG Nazi rally. It's a bit sus to me that

(01:09:07):
it was the final straw. Mark Anthony ad for Madam
VP was full of sins against the community by Orange,
and yet I still knew Puerto Ricans who were talking
that he just a businessman BS yeah, shot out the
nikki jam Anyway, I hope that anger translates into voting blue.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
I agree, who is a nikki Jam.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
He's the he's a he's an artist, a musician. He
was in Bad Boys for Life. He's the worst part
of that movie. And he was the dude that took
his support of Trump back after the Puerto Rican joke
that the dude made.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
Yeah, for a lot of them, that's where they drew.
They line.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
It's like, oh, they ain't never really like y'all. Y'all
just thought y'all something y'all. Some of y'all thought y'all
was super special. And then he hit on y'all too,
and the nigga's like, yeah, he don't like us, what make.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
You think he don't like you?

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
And his reasoning was some shit, like I just thought
Trump was a good business man to be good for
the economy. Shoe Booty being says being part of a
small team at work means easier to vet who can
bring what to the propluck. Honestly, we are so food
motivated that could be on my manager's list of hiring
questions at this point, what would you bring to the potluck?

(01:10:17):
No one on my team makes a bad food, and
for that I'm thankful. At Hollow, at our Halloween get together,
everyone brought their lunch from wherever they wanted and brought
in deserts snacks to share. My bunt cake was a
hit and I cannot recommend this dish recipe enough.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
And she sent a link to how to make a
chocolate bunk cake.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Mature young Lady says that our last office job, I
was a one woman morale department. I would organize potlucks.
My mom would cook on my behalf. We knew which
coworker would not to ask to contribute. One coc worker
was known to be a cat lady and we definitely
avoided her shit. Tommy D says, my first year at
the job, we had a potluck. My supervisor told me
to get stuff before Gloria got there because she will

(01:10:58):
walk talk all over the food, but I was it
was too late.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Gloria was standing at over the food.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
She was talking and I could see tiny food and
spit particles flying out her mouth onto the food. I
looked at my supervisor and moved his lips with no
sound coming out of his mouth to say, I told you,
oh yeah, uh Donald Donald donald didn't come out tom
oh Byron Donald's didn't come out to mop but John
Sener's theme song that starts out with the anti up sound.

(01:11:26):
As a wrestling fan of unofficial senor hater, I had
to clear it up. Okay, thank you him deal says right,
it's real firming to here. Someone discussed not wanting people
to eat up their food they bring so it can
be brought back home.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
But I have an eighty percent rule.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
Once the pot, much as I guess what's the pot
is eighty percent done time wise, I removed what's left
of my food and clean the space to make room
for other nasty food people ain't eating because I hate
carrying empty real dishes anything that ain't plastic home. I'm
not sure I understand. I have an eighty percent rule
on the pot is eighty percent done time, Oh pot luck.

(01:12:05):
Oh okay, i'ld have corrected from potluck to pot much Okay,
once the potluck is eighty percent done, time wise, I
remove what's left of my food and clean the space
to make room for other Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
Yeah, I can see that. That's not that's not a
bad rule, I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
I personally, I leave it there until they tell us
come get our dishes. If anything is left, I'm happy
because whatever I made I want to eat. It's just
very rare that my shit has anything left. But if
something is left, I'm like cool moe for me. Uh even,
he says. When I used to work in corporate where
there was a potluck, I would only eat my food
and one or two of the black people who I

(01:12:41):
knew were clean. I made the mistake of eating this
one white lady's devil egg because she was nice and
I didn't want to hurtr feelings. I should have known
something was odd because there's no peprika on it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Dog even eat no peprika is a sign I don't
care what nobody SAYSIG.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Giveaway that luck, no peperk on it, I won't fuck
with it. I never had a good one with no
peprika on it. At. I don't know, because I don't
even think peprika tastes like nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
It don't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
It really don't taste like it's just a visual sign like, oh,
they put their foot in there.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Peprika like food color a little bit read.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Yeah, but it means it means they put some other
shit in there that go with the peprika. Say, when
I been into it, it tastes it only tasted like
yolk and mayo, no salt, pepper, relish, mustard, nothing. It
was discussing. I learned my lesson after that. I heard
that dish that got people sick was a Filipino dish
called pansit, which is a rice noodle dish that has
vegetables of various meat, sometimes seafood. It's so delicious, but

(01:13:37):
according to my friend who used to make it for
me all the time, it's a dish usually made.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
For big parties the day of because it's spoils quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
And apparently this person made it a couple of days
before the pot look, which is why everyone got six.
So maybe it wasn't an accident. It depends on that
they ate something too. If they got sick too is accident.
If they was over in the corner watching y'all get sick.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
They tried to kill y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
Nate your boy says, I guess I was lucky when
it came to potlus. I used to work for a
chemical company that international chemist on the roster. When we
had potlucks. We had Vietnamese, Filipino, Louisiana, White West African, Indian,
North and South style and Southern Texas redneck racist ass
granny recipes passed down to their more progressive grandchildren. See

(01:14:19):
Pauladine and her use of butter all captured. Needless to say,
there were certain dishes that we would skipped, but there
were no casualties in twelve years. Who practiced safety and
kept clean lab benches, So I guess the practices followed
them into the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
That makes sense. That is lucky. I could see that
working out.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
Like they're scientists that are lab trained, right, so they
probably know not to have fucking cats on their counter.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Right they understand cross coxcamination and shit.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Because what they do make a lot of sense. All right,
let's get to the YouTube comments. Baby Tashiro says, I
would be embarrassed if I was a person in the
community attending a Nazi rally and they should be embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
See Nathan says, it has to be a mental illness.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Jannine says, long time, first time in a long time,
and then one hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Percent would eat what I cooked.

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
And the way my coworkers would be mad, be big
mad because I would go to Ryan Gosling and crazy
stupid love. When Steve Carell opened at Velcrow wallet. Alice says,
yes they do at four to twenty four mark. I'm
not sure what the four to twenty four mark is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Like, I don't well either way.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
I mean, I guess you don't have to directly be
the person that would go to jail. But the way
these laws are, you don't know. She's talking about the
obg y ns that do they do abortions or not,
and she says yes they do, okay, And like I said,
we had people that wrote in and said, there's dude
that We've had people wrote in and said theirs doesn't
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
I just don't. I didn't know very so thank you
for the answer.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
I guess they can do, though, yes, noney Bien says,
wait ride images of Barron Donald's playing the spoons to
the Dixie song gave me tears. Earth truly is a ghetto.
Nathaniel says, stop it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
I'm dying over here.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
Potluck mad, it's red flags. None of your bier, says
till Tis. The season had to revisit episode thirteen forty
eight for the Potlucksnan against Yes eight. So obviously it's
an episode of our podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
I mean I said, I meant title my bad.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
Yeah, I'm about to look it up right now. I
don't know off the top of my head. So it's
called office Potluck. Is from twenty sixteen when we discussed
office potlucks, and that was a very fun episode. I
remember that and yeah, we got a lot of comments
back then. It was like the first time I brought
it up on the show. And it turns out pretty
popular sentiment. Apparently a lot of black people are thinking

(01:16:43):
about this shit.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
And it ain't changed and it almost.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Ten years, ten years.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Yeah, I'm surprised people still have such strong feelings after
people been working from home and a lot of people
can avoid it now, not that everyone can, but a
lot of people can. Let's see. Rebecca says, I was
so pissed off Sunday when watching my Ravens game.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
There was a long ass pro Trump commercial. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
She also said, speaking of seafood in Maryland, the son
of the owner of Popular Popular Agi seafood.

Speaker 1 (01:17:13):
Just murdered his girlfriend here in Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
But that's random and ship Rebecca records, like, you know
what else is having over speaking of seafood? Speaking of seafood?

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
What we would have to say something about seafood on
the show.

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
I know we talked about the seafood in the pot. Look, okay,
that's still why are we on the subject of seafood?

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
Did you know somebody that somebody murdered somebody restaurant.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
That's hilarious, Rebecca, that's random speaking of seafood.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
She's just trying us to talk about it. Yes, I
don't know nothing about this this food or this person,
but that is that is pretty hilar speaking of seafood.
You could do that with anything on the show. Speaking
of basketball, did y'all know that I was playing basketball
with this dude and he said, like no, we know anyway,
rebec Cam says, oh my god, laugh mass off. If

(01:18:04):
he holding the motherfucking sick while pouring the gas yup.
Definitely a racist pos Another great episode. Y'all submitted that
clip too. Maybe we'll see if that comes out. Jingsville says,
laugh mass I saw the news put about the sword
in the fire and thought about child.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Don't know if that was a good thing or not.

Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
Who knows. Thomas says, these fucking Christian nationalists don't care
so long as their genders pushed down the rest of
our throats. Trump is the trojan horse for his Christian bullshit.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
Agreed.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
Driving behind the car of the day, I saw a bubblestick,
he said, Catholics for Trump. I said, what should have
rear ended them? What? And it been like, look, God
works in mysterious ways. I'm trying to kill you to
keep it. I'm just kidding, right one day what.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
Oh, just joking, guys, don't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
I'm just trying to stop the antichrisis. Trump one day
soon says, thanks for.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Talking about mammograms.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Can remember, ladies, know the density of your breast as
your doctor.

Speaker 3 (01:19:00):
Yeah, that that that matters, you know, Like you said,
it's one of the things where you kind of learn
as you go because pride to mammogram. I didn't know
what the fuck the density of the breast mean. It
is some kind of technical term for it, and I
was like, the fuck is this?

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Did I have to go look it up? It's like, Oh,
it just means dense breast, that's all you have to say.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Rich says, uh, some of these people won't get it
until they are in chained with no rights, being shipped
to the fields, being held in cages, until they get
deported to countries they never lived in, or have someone
break down their door taking their home because they're no
longer considered an American citizen. Germans during the rise of
Hitler is an example that no one should want to follow.
An old boy is a bitch if you had a

(01:19:42):
nerd a hop on camera with that hat and then
then stand on business. Yeah yeah, Nick Bosa. Alexandra says,
my mom's favorite doctor retired to teaching this year. She
said it was stressful and the parents the patients are
becoming more hostile. That's interesting too, because I think that's
something we don't talk about a lot, but that goes

(01:20:03):
since the pandemic, that goes up and down every scale
of people facing positions and businesses, anything dealing with the public.
People have been reporting back that there's been a lot
of hostility coming from patrons that wasn't there before the pandemic.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
And you know what, what you saying makes sense because
I've realized a lot of doctor offices I go in
now they have signs where you go in, they have
signs throughout the hallway, do not harass, do not yell,
do not hit, like like they'll tell.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
You we'll call the police on you with how you arrested.
You know. They was like, people are just trying to
do their job.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Say God, damn are people coming back here and just
showing asses in the doctor's office?

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
Right, She'd rather deal with papers than patients and the climate.
My obgyn also retired, and I only found out when
I went to schedule my annual, Like, ma'am, you've been
looking at my intimate parts for like years.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
I hate finding new doctors to creating a new dynamic.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
I saw on.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
It's such a stupid, random fucking thing.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
I just thought, But I wonder if it would be
helpful if on the description for these obg u I ns,
if they had some level of like detail or customer
feedback about how they specifically like treat people's private parts.

(01:21:25):
Like I know that sounds like some really childish ship,
but at its essence that is kind.

Speaker 1 (01:21:32):
Of what the hell yet the job requires.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
It's the thing that they can't say because it because
it would look weird and creepy and probably gross, especially
if it's like a man or some shit like that.
You know, like there's there's like a weird there's a
sexual element to it that would just make it too creepy.
But it probably would be helpful if it was like,
you know, warm the forceps or you know, you know, hey,

(01:21:57):
I'm a man, but a nurse will always be in
the room with us. Yes, you know, and I know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
You're joking, but that shit matters.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Like if there's somebody going, oh, I will always make
sure to warm up the I don't know if you
call them stirrups or whatever the thing is, because not
trying to funny, there's nothing worse than them being cold.
And they've came a long way because now they use plastic,
you know sometimes and before everything was fucking metal. It'll
be cold, and some of them, even if they use metal,
they'll warm them up ahead of time.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
They'll let you know, like like they're very very.

Speaker 2 (01:22:29):
Sounds so immature, no, but but I know that at
its course, that's what would ease my mind. I think
of what would ease my mind when I go through
situations like that, and it's just stuff you can't do,
you know, it's stuff you can't really. Like if I'm
looking for a new dentist, hey TV's on the ceiling.
That might actually be a positive, but they can't put

(01:22:49):
that on the fucking like, hey guys, TV's on the ceiling.

Speaker 3 (01:22:52):
Because because with most doctors they don't. Really they might,
but they don't. I don't know a place I'm pretty
sure they is. Y'all that you can like write reviews,
but you can tell like, Okay, I've been.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
Something, but like even in the review, people aren't gonna
put that that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
I see we're saying, yeah, they're not gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:23:11):
Be like doctor doctor Yolanda Jones has very warm, tiny
hands and that's why she's been my obg y n.

Speaker 1 (01:23:22):
You know, like they can't say no, treat my inside right.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
But when we all like to know, we'd all like
to fucking know it's very very gentle. The last thing
I want to find out as it's happening it to
me is like, oh, this guy's gonna check my prostate
and he got Victor Winbiyona hands like, I don't want
to find that out when I get there. I want
to I want someone to have told me so I

(01:23:45):
can know what to prepare for. I could be like, nah,
that's not for me. I don't have a agreed. You know,
I don't need this Nigga Scotti Pippen in my buttthole
or whatever I saw online. Someone said people truly don't
care unless directly impact on. The comedian's racist joke directly
impacted one group, but the entire Trump presidency was awful
towards everyone but rich white man.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
How is this election even close?

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Trump has always been a racist, sex as bigger than
person forever. There should be no more surprise outrage against him.
Everyone should make it to their mission to never have
him or anyone against freedom step foot in Pennsylvania. As
I'm sick of this shit. That potluck poison sounds like
a tempted murder.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
Lol.

Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
I don't know what the police say, I will be
looking for another job or I don't care what they say.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
Yep, I agree, yep. I'll be like, oh no, I
was trying to kill me here. I'm out the Poe.
Have you ever cooked food for a company potluck? I have,
and I think once or twice I cooked for Rogers.

Speaker 3 (01:24:35):
I think that may like macro unn cheat something like that,
And every time I would cook it, it's a hit
Roger Green, like I ain't got nothing to bring back,
it will be gone. They would be like every time
they would have one, but like tell your wife the cook.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Somebod macar fifty seven percent have forty three percent have not.

Speaker 1 (01:24:51):
But yeah, that makes sense, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:24:53):
Last episode or the week three thousand and three Loud Working,
we got eight comments. This is our episode we have
my man Zach from the Liver Corporate podcast on talked
a lot about work stuff. Booklyn Shoebay says, hey rd
A Karen, great episode. Y Payless is a supermarket in Indiana.
Oh oh so it's not a shoe store there, Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
Okay, I didn't know. I've only known that as the
shoe store. That's why I was confused.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
I was like, what, my ex husband is from Indiana
and I've shot there.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
They have free samples, cookies on fire.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
Okay, you solved the mystery.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
Thank you baby, because that makes sense. I was like,
how you give it free samples at the shoe store.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
Yeah, he threw me off Rona. Raphael says, that's a
cheap ass baby. I died when Karen said that that
baby story was too much.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
By the way, shout out to your Halloween designs.

Speaker 2 (01:25:39):
That's sexy cool as a universal time traveling lord, I
respect the sweet design. Back to my costume, shoe Booty says,
this episode is just what I needed today was having
a loud work moment, even though I worked from home,
where I made sure I was sending out my little
teen messages don't try to catch me at to two today.

Speaker 1 (01:25:56):
I put it in my time see you, no game,
no ball by uh.

Speaker 2 (01:26:01):
My team here is great and there's no quiet quitter
necessary when you got a good boss, and they really
emphasize work life balance. Put in your eight hours, do
a good job, don't be bothered the other sixteen hours
of the day. She also said, Lucy a campground adoption
story for the I guess for that story people. Sean says,
I think there was a huge difference in the way

(01:26:22):
businesses would run before Jack Welch. Of course, Welch was
part of an overall movement where businesses were no longer
chartered for actual country to contribute to society, but rather
to increase shareholder value.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Thank thanks Freedman for that dumb idea.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
This shift from employees as a means of optimizer business
to employees as a means of optimizer profits has led
to the toxic corporate culture that Gen X and younger
people grew up in, and things have gotten worse since
the push for right to work longer hours for less money,
and be fired at the whim of your boss laws
aka right to work not submitting to be victim a
waste step sty percent low wage workers in America have

(01:27:01):
been victims of wage deeph and wate DEPH accounts for
more than half of all theft.

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
In the US.

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
AKA. Quiet quitting is not ground for dismissal, I mean yeah,
for dismissal in reasonable states.

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
In fact, firing people for not being willing to.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
Be victims of crime is illegal in the states with
reasonable label laws. Unfortunately, right to work laws harm so
many people in the US. Do you think we'll ever
get back to pre Wels, pre Freedman world where business
were meant to do something in the profit motive for
secondary I just appreciate your faith in me and care
because I don't know who the fuck Jack Welch is
or Freeman say.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
That never came up on the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
So this like you just wrote some like PhD stuff
and we was on like business one on one child, Yeah,
we intro I'm sure that we don't left one hundred
I'll tell you what I'm what I am sure of
without even knowing just from contest clues.

Speaker 1 (01:27:53):
That was a very smart thing. You you smart.

Speaker 2 (01:27:56):
I mean we already know you smart. You know many
times too smart. Then I'd be like, I don't know
what the fuck Sean's talking about, but I appreciate you
have so much faith in me that you thought I
would know what you was talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
You're real when Sean appreciate, educate the audience and us.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
And if you're asking when we ever go back to
a time where it wasn't like it is now.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
No. I love to be optimistic, but no, even and
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
This is not despairing in her any way, but this
is like one of the things I was telling my friend.
He was like, uh, you know, this Kamla Harris campaign
is a little bit worrying from me because some of
the biggest donors and people that she's looking at for
cabinetcies are people that are huge, like Wall Street, you know,

(01:28:46):
corporate interest type people. And I said, yeah, the alternative
is Trump. That that's not her fault. That's not a
thing she can't win without those people who made it
that way, Scisions United, which is not her fault.

Speaker 1 (01:29:04):
Yes, they did who made it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
So what she's supposed to lose by saying I reject
any level of like corporate influence over my campaign and
over my platform and over my administration. I reject all
of it. I don't need to work with y'all. Y'all,
y'all need to bow down to me. And then when
she loses, and we all call her a loser for

(01:29:28):
losing and say what a stupid decision she made. They
went and contributed all their money to Trump and Republicans
and that's why the fuck Trump and the Republicans have
soul rain over the economy. We would all call her stupid.
We would all say her campaign would badly managed. I'll
say she really fucked shit the bed and fucked America over.
And I would say the reason that this really has

(01:29:49):
to be made into this binary decision is because we
Americans don't stop these things. We haven't done enough with
our own votes and our voice to say we want
corporations to be handled in a different way, we want
businesses to be rained in, we want capitalism to have

(01:30:10):
better guardrails.

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
Right, they're not people.

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
When we decide that we're we're not gonna do that
with our votes because we can sit something out, or
we could be a one issue voter, or we don't
care about this. We only care about that. That's what
the fuck happens, and we have to the politicians have
to navigate.

Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
By the rules that we set as voters.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
Right, And so we told them, hey, man, we don't
actually give a fuck about this economy shit. We say
we do, but really what we mean is I don't
want to pay this much for gas and that's not enough.

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
I don't want my taxes to go up, like like,
it's very very simple.

Speaker 1 (01:30:46):
Yeah, and many times it's not even that right.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Many times people say I don't want my taxes to
go up, but then they vote for Trump and their
taxes go up, and they go, I'm gonna vote for
Trump again. So what are we really talking about? What
are the real issues of America, if it wasn't, if
capitalism wasn't in America, wasn't so racialized. It is inspiredly
this way most places. But if it wasn't so racialized,
we would have a fighting shot. But the racism did

(01:31:10):
us in as a country. So you got people that
should know better and be like, I'm not supporting this
racist motherfucker. Because even they're lying, even about their tax policy,
it's stead they go. If they're being honest about the racism,
I'll let them lie to me about the tax policy, yes, sir,
And that's why we're fucking I'm here for the racism.
Come on, I'm here for the racism too. Care I

(01:31:32):
love racism.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
I don't know. Oh sorry, I was just trying to
I was just trying to agree with you. But they
out here for the racism, they not me personally.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
I get it. I'm sorry. I mean, I'm not here
for the I hate racism.

Speaker 1 (01:31:47):
Do you read it out?

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
It's the worst, Okay. I don't play with no racism.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
So some of y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:31:52):
You messing with that racism and all that shit, seeing
with the racism.

Speaker 1 (01:31:57):
Not me.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Why who would play with racism in America? Karen?

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
I don't know how that place stop. EV says, this
episode reminded me that I do not miss working in
the corporate office.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
These people truly do not care about you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
When I was on mattornity leave, I got a call
from my boss asking me to come back early.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
Because they were short staff. Yes, I repeat, I was
on mattornity leave. And that's one of the reasons that
you had to stop working at Rby's.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
I see, because you know that they don't give a fuck.
They're like, you come in here and mix this cocaine.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
Child. If i'ma gona turnly kiss my ass, I'm not
coming back in Well, they got the mets.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
At that point, I was making as much as my
side hustle as I was at my job, So when
I got the call for my boss, I was so pissed.
So I did go back to the office to couple
mattorney ly short and on my first day back, I
handed in my two weeks notice, even though I planned
on't work in there for at least one more year,
And for the next two weeks, I didn't do shit
because what were they gonna do?

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
Fire me? So I guess they were still short when
I left, you better than me because I wouldn't have
went in.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
But that explains why the at Harvey's be so long.
Y'all in there on maternity leave, putting in two weeks notice,
and they'll take me thirty minutes to get my food.
That's why ev I know you work there. That's what
it's really been about the whole time. It's starting to
make sense covering up for him, says.

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
My work situation can be described as one or the other.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
The work can't be done on a nine to five
schedule because medical conventions and congresses don't work that way,
or the traveling. My job is more of a lifestyle,
I guess, but a well paid when no one cares
how long I work or when I as long as
the work gets done. When I work on the weekend,
I can decide if I want money for it or
a free day. I have lots of freedom, but also
tons of responsibility. Overall is good, but you need to

(01:33:39):
be extremely organized. The main office is three hours away,
so I'm only there about four times a year, four
important means. And that was because our poe was Are
you more of a quiet, quitter, allowed worker or neither
that was a thing. We'll get to the results in
a second, but let's get to these YouTube comments real quick. Damn,
says Jason Jasper. I really wanted Kamala on rogan interview.

(01:34:02):
It sounded crazy, but for that hour I really would
have flipped him. It really thinks she would have flipped them. Yeah,
I think that's one of the reason he's afreak. I'm serious, cause.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
She came in really, really reasonable.

Speaker 2 (01:34:13):
As a dude. That just the boogeyman of Kamala Harris
is more powerful for Joe Rogan and his listeners than
Kamala Harris is.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
The reality of her is not scary, and I'm not like.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
She'd come in warm, nice, friendly. Yeah, it had been
the completely different.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
And him talking to jd Vance to me was more
damaging the jad E Vans and Trump than uh than
talking to Kamala would have been. But whatever, I don't
give a fuck about him and his folks like that,
but I still think it was whack his reasoning for
not going to do the show her right. One thing
I've learned over these past couple of months is that

(01:34:53):
her way, her charm is way underrated. As she owns rooms,
Trump looks so weak in those one on one interviews,
he's are orange hunched over. If he didn't move the
damn hands so much, he just looked like furniture. Meanwhile,
super small commal assists back les cross like Phil Jackson
and runs a tryang on all those white men.

Speaker 1 (01:35:10):
Little Rogan wouldn't have made it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
I agree the Nicki Helly story about her not getting
called by Trump is perfect. The one good thing Trump
did would strip every single remaining Republican of any respect
ever amongst their own base. No one sees Nicki, Tim Scott,
Tad Cruz or any of these clowns as leaders anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
That that's one of the main issues with the party
that I just I'll never be able to understand.

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
If Trump does not win, what y'all have thrown your
future aspirations in the thrown crash because he has demeaned
you so much you can't be a leader.

Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
Nope.

Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
Mike Pince presidential running run did not even get off
the ground.

Speaker 1 (01:35:49):
Nope.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Not the second time in twenty sixteen he thought vice
president was a was a test run to be president.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
One day he did.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
It's dad, He's a fucking joke, Yes he is. He's
a fucking joke that won't even stand up for himself
against Trump. It's crazy, like NICKI had is a fucking joke, Now,
yes she is. She meant something to people, not South Carolina. Yeah,
not to me, but to respectable people who are serious

(01:36:17):
about voting, serious about the plans for the economy in America.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
They announced, Go, nah, she's a fucking joke.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
That's crazy. Y'all did that for this man. Meanwhile, say
what you want about Joey B. But he's leaving a
damn party looking like the OKC thunder nothing but emerging talent.
So many people were elevated in his term, exactly exactly.
I wouldn't trade the Democrats roster for the policing roster
right now. And I'm not saying that because of politics.
I'm literally saying, if you just height, age weight.

Speaker 3 (01:36:46):
Uh, looking at statistic popularity, you know, you know we're
up here with double doubles, tripping doubles, breaking breaking, breaking
league records.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
A lot of stars of right wing spears aren't even politicians. Now, no,
that's how fucked up it is for joke, That's how
fucked up it is for Republicans. Like AOC is the
kind of person that could have just been a left
wing podcaster and would have been very famous and popular anyway. Yes,
but she's within the big tent of the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:37:15):
That matters.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
Even if you don't like some of the people in
the squad, it matters that they are in the tent
and they're popular with constituencies that you want to bring
into the folk. They're not just sniping at the Democrats
from you know, YouTube. It matters, but Republicans can't really
say that. CPJ Morgan says, the embeddedness of the anti

(01:37:38):
blackness and philanthropy is breathtaking as well. D I stuff
is written down and then we straightened down. The bye
By is living gas lighting. Agreed, and JVCD says at
the forty one thirty five second mark, it's me every day,
Rod is right.

Speaker 1 (01:37:56):
Oh, let me see what this is? Thirty five? What
did I say? Is it quite loud talk? Let me
say five whatever?

Speaker 2 (01:38:07):
Come in loud as hell?

Speaker 1 (01:38:09):
No, loud working, it's louderking. There we go. Let's do
it loud working.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
All right, y'all. To Poe, are you more of a
quiet quitter or a loud worker? Quiet quitter? Forty one
loud worker twenty nine percent and neither twenty nine percent.

Speaker 1 (01:38:27):
So there you go. I feel like I'm more of
a loud worker.

Speaker 2 (01:38:32):
Uh, just so I want to get out of there
and feel like I don't have any pressure on me.
But that's just because I've been telling y'all I'm leaving
the whole time.

Speaker 3 (01:38:42):
I kind of I guess I do neither because not
really quiet quitting, because I just these are my hours
and I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:38:49):
Out, you know what, IM type of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:38:51):
Particularly when I went into the office, I was like
a ninja. I was one of the first people in
now and when it was time to go, if you
bleak too hot, because what was that was right at
the corner, I would hit that corner and hit that door.
The door was like less than twenty feet, I'd be
out that door and gone.

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
So for me, it was just.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
Like, well that's more of a quiet quitter.

Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
I guess, okay, Well then I follow that cadamistry.

Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
All right, let's get into the voicemails, and now I
can use this opportunity to get up and get my phone.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
So here you go a little longer break to normal,

(01:40:34):
because I didn't know where my phone.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
Was all right voicemails. We only got one collar this week,
and I don't know this person, so we'll find out together.

Speaker 4 (01:40:45):
Hey Brian, Karen, did your boy meets your boy? First
time calling in? But I just had to tell you
about my voting experience early voting experience. I live in
Fort Bend County, which is the county of basically the
suburbs and the portion of Houston, and next to us
is Harris County, which is the main county that Houston
lies in. Anyway, I'm in line at the polling place

(01:41:06):
for early voting, and there's a Vietnamese gentlemen and a
white lady, and they get to talking pretty loudly about
how the Democrats stole the election and how the machines
now are fixing the way that they can't manipulate blah
blah blah blah blah, whole bunch of nonsense. Anyway, the
guy keeps mentioning that he is not properly able to vote.

(01:41:28):
I guess here in Fort Benn County he was sent
from Harris County to Fort Bend even though he lives
in Harris County. So what ends up happening is somebody
overhears him one of the polling ladies. She comes over
to him, takes him to the front of the line,
has him fill out some kind of fort vote actually sorry.
Before she gets to the forum, she asks if he's

(01:41:49):
registered to vote. The man says registered. Nah, I never
did that, So then she checked his ideas it's your
current address. No, that's not my current address. The lady
gives him a form to fill out to They claim
that your vote will count today. So I'm telling everybody,
just so you know, get out there and vote since
you can counterate one of these nonsense votes. Somebody's gonna
get to pass. I mean, me and all the other

(01:42:10):
black people in line have it looked at each other
like and you believe this shit, but hey, it's happening.
Get out there vote. Make sure you can counter at that.
Rob proudly. You man, you're eating right and getting in
that gym in network.

Speaker 1 (01:42:22):
Keep it up. Take care, thank you, nature boy.

Speaker 2 (01:42:26):
And yeah, it's funny though, because the other way to
take that story is if you're home and you're making
excuses for voting, like where you're saying yourself like, man,
I don't I don't know if I got my registration right,
I don't know who got my paperwork.

Speaker 1 (01:42:44):
That I do the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
The job of the poll people, no matter what side
they're on, the job is to help you be able
to vote.

Speaker 1 (01:42:51):
Yeah, that's their job, and they don't actually.

Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
Give a fuck what your politics are as long as
you're not violating the law, like showing up with propaganda
and shit does not to let you be in there
with that. But if you show up and you're like, man,
i'm scared on license might be a thing. Show up,
they'll walk you through it, provisional ballads, a bunch of
stuff to make sure your voter is counted.

Speaker 1 (01:43:13):
It can be intimidated.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
I still remember my first time voting being like, I
think I was eighteen or around there, and was like,
it's gonna work.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
It's gonna work the way they say it's gonna work.

Speaker 2 (01:43:23):
Am I gonna get up there and they're gonna say
excuse me? But I actually no, you know, like I
didn't know. But it can be intimidated, but it's not
as intimidating as you think, you know. Ironically, to relate
it to the thing he ended on, it's kind of
like how I was with the gym. I was so
nervous about going to the gym working out. What was

(01:43:44):
gonna happen Where people are gonna be looking at my
body judge me, Where people gonna say negative things to me?
What was I gonna look stupid of messing with machines
and weights and not knowing I was doing. Were people
gonna videotape me, put me on social media like you
see all the.

Speaker 1 (01:43:59):
Time these days.

Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
I had so many anxious concerns and it stopped me
from the positive aspects of it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:08):
And it honestly was a fucking lie in my brain.
My brain was lying.

Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
People are very positive, they're very supportive, they want to help.
If anything, they mostly just mind their business. They in
their own world. They got their own shit going. People
aren't going to the gym sick because motherfuckers are in there,
mostly health nuts, and they don't want to be around
nobody coughing. They're gonna flip the fuck out.

Speaker 1 (01:44:29):
Yes they will, you like, don't make me sick.

Speaker 2 (01:44:32):
So so like the things I thought was gonna happen
in that gym weren't true. You know. It's like when
people take a zoomer class and you're like, oh, should
I stop?

Speaker 1 (01:44:41):
I mean, it's the pandemic. I shouldn't take a zoomber class.
The people at the zoomer aren't gonna show.

Speaker 2 (01:44:46):
Up to be coughing and dying for an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:44:49):
You know around too much. The average person is.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
If they feel sick, they're like, let me stay the
fuck home from the gym. I definitely know what I
don't want to do with COVID do zoomer in a
room full of people coffee and looking at me like
I'm crazy. So but my brain went to an anxious place,
and I think that can happen with voting. It can
feel intimidating if you haven't done it before. And I
don't care what your age is, they will. I'm telling you,

(01:45:14):
they're so helpful. They no situation they haven't seen before.
Go in there and they'll walk you through it. It'll
be fine. So there you go. All right, We got emails.
Get to these emails real quick. Oh this is just

(01:45:35):
a note to Raquelle. I emailed you as well. She
emailed us last week where she said that she lives
in Columbia, South Carolina, and she when she get up
money right, she's gonna become premium and all that stuff.
We have a listener who has two premium subscriptions, which
I think.

Speaker 1 (01:45:55):
She did by mistake, which for the record, if.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
Y'all have two subscriptions going and you don't want that,
you're not trying to do that, like email me, go
to your PayPal, cancel one of them. I'll refund you.
The goal is not We're not here trying to be
like we need to get as much money, but we're
trying to because we can't control PayPal, we don't actually

(01:46:17):
know if someone has a duplicate subscription. Sometimes PayPal will
email people and be like, your shit's gonna get canceled
because the money isn't coming through or something. And I
think people sign up again by mistake to be like, oh,
well I don't want to da DA. I don't get
any notification of like this is their second account, so
I would not know. So double check your PayPal, make
sure y'are not getting double billed. The goal is not

(01:46:39):
to rip anyone off. We appreciate the people that are like,
I'm just doing it to help you all out because
I've I'll be if I find someone has a duplicate account,
I'll email them and be like, hey, it says you
have duplicate thing, what's up? And then people, I mean,
these people are so nice, but they'll be like, oh,
it's fine, I don't want the money back. I'm just like, okay,

(01:47:01):
Richie rich but nah, I'm like, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:47:03):
But at the same time, the purpose is just one.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
If that's all, you're right one, you know that being
said Raquel, if you're listening, this listener was like, don't
cancel my second subscription, give it to Raquel, and I
email Raquel, email me back, you know, email me back,
let me know, because uh.

Speaker 1 (01:47:28):
Hey, I would take the free premium if I was you.

Speaker 2 (01:47:32):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (01:47:32):
I'm like, Hey, somebody, you need to get behind this.
Paywalk girl. It's fun over here. It's fun over here.

Speaker 3 (01:47:40):
We thought we couldn't make it. Fucked around at us,
like and sit down an email going hey, y'all boss,
deep gonna be late.

Speaker 1 (01:47:45):
I was sleepy, That's why I didn't make it out.
I was not a cloud like.

Speaker 2 (01:47:49):
It was an old school Me and Justice just an
episode this week, and it was very fun.

Speaker 1 (01:47:54):
Y'all should check it out. It was some pretty good conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:47:57):
I thought about putting putting on the main feed just
so I can get a simpler what we're talking about.
But I don't know. It's too funny for y'all. Y'all
couldn't handle it. You need to pay money to be
able to handle this. This is from Angelo.

days ago, but the notice is so short, and our
schedule is fucking crazy with just not just guess horns, games,
a bunch of stuff. We couldn't make it work. But

I'm gonna say it one more time because I know
someone's gonna write in after the election, like what was
the link Vote from abroad dot org and the guide
is Blue voter Guide dot org. All right, uh oh
no not Janine uh Rod and Karen as a Janine

(01:50:28):
lol at simply g inc.

Speaker 1 (01:50:30):
It saddens me that you will use my name in
your scenario.

Speaker 2 (01:50:34):
I laughed off the insolt, but just wanted to say,
howdie your sister in Toronto, thank you Janine, and honestly
your spell your Janine with a G and I.

Speaker 1 (01:50:44):
The Janina I was talking about is a J and
O Y, so it's fine, don't worry about different Jine.

Speaker 2 (01:50:49):
And if another Janine rides in, I'm gonna lie and
say it was the one. Actually, Janina I'm talking about
is spelled with a Q and a K and one
of those upside down looking a's. So if your name
ain't spelled like that, done right in.

Speaker 1 (01:51:07):
If they got one of them squeaking the marks off
the top of the land, they.

Speaker 2 (01:51:09):
Got squeally marks and shit, Trey says, hey, Rody, Karen
just wanted to thank you all for keeping me and
the rest of the listening are the insane. During the
twenty twenty four election, I'm going to still be nervous
and anxious leading up to Tuesday. But if what I
have seen on social media abou Kamala's ground game as
it relates to her campaign, I think she would do
good on Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (01:51:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51:29):
I mean, if I'm being honest with you, I don't
think we're gonna know shit on Tuesday. I mean, I
hope I'm wrong. I'd love to in Tuesday, it'd be
like Kamalah won in a landslide. But I think even
if that case, in that scenario, Trump ain't fitting to concede.
Shit he gonna say is stolen. Republicans will fight on
that lie. It's gonna be legal battles in every state

(01:51:51):
that you know, especially the swing states in the ground. Like,
I don't think this shit is. I think part part
three of the Infinity.

Speaker 1 (01:52:02):
Saga of the vote is gonna be on Tuesday. Yeah.
And also this is just my theory.

Speaker 3 (01:52:11):
I think that he knows he's gonna lose, and I
think he's prepared to lose. And so that's why the
past week or two he's been threatening lawsuits, he's been
threatening everything's fucked up. He's been threatening everybody's against him,
like he's already prepared, and so deceeds for the discord,

(01:52:32):
like he's just prepared for that. And he's basically I'm
gonna drag this own until somebody says I have to
fucking stop.

Speaker 2 (01:52:39):
Yeah, I'm starting to see early voting trending in the
way I hope they would with a ton of female
voters showing up a show. And now hopefully we can
keep this Momnim Model Weather Tuesday. Thanks again, Rodnan Camp. Yeah,
they're scared over there too. They real scared about it,
especially that women vote turn out being hired than men
so far. They're absolutely shaking in their boots because women,

(01:52:59):
whether they white, black, indifferent, are like, I don't want
the government telling me what to.

Speaker 1 (01:53:05):
Do with my body.

Speaker 2 (01:53:06):
And you know, these white men are writing, you know,
doing podcasts and shit like, what's gonna happen if the
women are secretly voting against the men, Like okay, last
one is from Donald Merk Krimet family and shit. I
hope it gets. I get this in on time.

Speaker 1 (01:53:22):
Listen.

Speaker 2 (01:53:22):
I love the show truly and deeply, and I got
received to prove it. You guys deserve out of praise
you get in then something. However, I feel there's an
aspect of y'all show that's not gotten. This just due
audio quality.

Speaker 1 (01:53:33):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:53:33):
Listen, I've been rocking y'all for a long ass time.
Y'all basically my introduction to podcasts. So when I tell y'all,
I can't even count the amount of podcasts I turned
my nose up at, have up on and never gave
up on, and have never come back because the audio
was shit. Hey, I know some of them are good
because y'all introduced them. I probably powered through an episode

(01:53:53):
of two playing through a fucking megaphone, but.

Speaker 1 (01:53:56):
That ain't worth the hassle.

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
I always say y'all had the best podcast for ivous reason,
consistently in taging the humor, empathy, et cetera. But goddamn,
I leave a stone unturned and audio quality shall not
be able to look not on my watch, y'all have
y'all take care. I'll try to stop procrast date right
there to my favorite show piece. Thanks Donald, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:54:14):
And uh yeah man, audio quality is important.

Speaker 2 (01:54:16):
It kills me that like these shows with me and
Karen are so easy because there's like a setting now
that makes it very easy.

Speaker 1 (01:54:26):
For y'all to hear all the sound effects and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:54:29):
But it kills me that when we have a guest,
I can't use that setting, or the guest gets a
huge echo and the podcast listeners in the chat get
a huge echo, and so in those instances, the audio
for the music and the clips sometimes doesn't sound clear
on the YouTube, but it always sounds clear in audio
format on podcasts, which is why, y'all, which is why

(01:54:52):
I'm gonna continue to just have to do it that way.
I'm sorry for the YouTube people, but you know, that's
the secondary market at best for us. We're still an
audio podcast first and foremost. But uh yeah, man, thank
y'all everybody. That's it for this episode. We appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (01:55:06):
We'll be back.

Speaker 2 (01:55:07):

Speaker 1 (01:55:16):

Speaker 2 (01:55:20):

we can, and uh yeah, talk to you soon.
