star reviews a Apple podcasts. We got two new ones.
The first one is from It says Adam one one
three and borrow the wife's phone as the title and
the descriptions. The reason I'm saying it, says Adam one

(04:32):
one three is the description reveals that it's actually from
Brian Ka, who says, I love you podcasts and your
podcasting content so much I had to give it five
stars twice. Brian K. Thank you, Brian, thank you for
stealing your wife's alcohol.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yep, we don't care. Get on them kids and cants
log in. Make them give us five stars. I don't
care if they listen to not.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
G Benchin says, five star podcasts, five stars. Roder Carron,
thanks for the great content. Happy birthday, can enjoy your day.
Five rose emojis and also five star emojis. Yay, that's
all we asked for guys. It was that simple. Thank
you y'all made us happy this week.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
We appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
We got podcast episodes to discuss, of course we do.
Episode thirty seventy Meats Expectations was our listener feedback episode.
We got eleven comments.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Y'all had some what they all for women?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
I think we broke the straight I saw, I saw
one dude wrote it, and of course he wrote a
very long winded post that felt that he was actually
over confident and not qualified for to leave a comment.
But it is what it is. The patriarch is. I
don't like it, I Bell says about trans issues, I'm

(05:44):
always sad when they are used in the political context,
almost exclusively by conservatives, because in real life it hardly
ever is a problem for anyone. I'm a woman of
the world. I come around. Absolutely never was our a
situation where a trans person where I needed a political intervention.
So when parents have a kid that shows signs of
being trans, politics isn't what's needed. They need some medical

(06:05):
specialists to talk to them about it, and or the
parents in the same situation, the decision what to do
is starting with some medication is the right thing to do.
Is individual hard anyway without a heated political climate. And
then for some reason, the website decides on its own
what comments going to moderation. I don't choose, so for

(06:27):
some reason put her comment in moderation. I'll typically approve
all the comments unless they're like complete spam. But she
left another comment that says, now my last post wass
for moderation. Do you know why, rod is it the topic?
I have no idea why. Yeah, so it just does.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
It sometimes random.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah. What I will say is I agree with you.
I think that the so much of the trance stuff
is just about Boogeyman scaring people and fear of what
somebody being different, and fear of your child growing up
to be different or your child being bose is something
outside of your you know, whatever your mindset is, whether

(07:04):
it be your religion, your political what it leaning's bigotry,
whatever it is, or just the fear of having explained
something to them whatever the fuck. All I know is,
and I just reiterate every time that these comments come up,
these these topics come up on our show. These parents

(07:24):
and these children are not making these decisions on a whim.
All of these decisions are extremely difficult and regimented, and
there's many steps. No matter what kind of state you're in,
there's many steps. The sad fact is a lot of
people just don't care about the truth. We have a

(07:46):
very fucking dumb country.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
They do not care about the truth.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
We have a very dumb country, and we have very
dumb people that vote in it. And whether they're just
lazy or stupid, I don't know for each individual, but
collectively they are lazy and stupid. So when to me,
it is disqualified for a candidate like Donald Trump to
get on the stage and lie and say people's kids

(08:12):
are going to school as one gender and then coming
home as another gender. To me, that's a disqualifying lie.
I would never vote for a person that said that,
not because I'm offended, but because it's such a lie.
Even if I even if you had a what some
would term a reasonable concerns about trans children and stuff

(08:35):
like that, and I admit there can be some reasonable concerns,
I'm sure there are. I mean, parents of trans children
that love their children, I'm sure have concerns. Everyone has concerns.
That's concerns is what you would hope people would work
on that come from a genuine place and then we
can figure out things together. But they don't. But that's
not what that party is offering us. They're not offering us.

(08:57):
These are some genuine concerns and they're just saying lies
and people eat them up because of the bigotry and
they go, oh, yeah, that's what's happening, or even if
it's not what's happening, that's what I'm going to operate on.
And that's the fear. That's the sad part because they
do it with everything, Like trans kids is just one
one branch of that, but they do it with so

(09:18):
many things. It's they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats.
You know. It's they don't have to operate in truth,
and we're worse off for it.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Ron Rafael says, the president of I think this is
Mari t Us would like to have a word with
Rod for the massive butchering of his country's name. Now,
how the fuck would I know the right? You just type?
I don't know. You could have typed, you could have
know what, you could have taken the time to do.
You could have taken the time to be like, here
is the pronunciation, Rode. You send me links to every

(09:48):
fucking thing else. You could have done that.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Now it was the video about some elephants, we would
we would have got the whole four hour video.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
But this is why I don't trust you middle name motherfuckers,
because ship like this Mauritius, Mauritius, thank you all right, appreciate.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
You, Ai white lady.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
The president of Mauritius would like that word Rod for
the massive butcher of the country's name as a kind,
loving and like galactate, humble security and something that I am.
I offer his excellency three months of free security protection
from my orcas you good.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Rod.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Have a great week, Sean says, after freshly coming out
the morning of the Great Day joke. Demanding a great
week is kind of cold, even for you. Ron Ralphael,
he says. Correction, sir, I wish my brother Rod and
Karen a great week, not demanded it. No, you said
have a great week.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
That's that's a demand.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
That's how that works, like saying have a slice of pie,
as opposed to do you want a slice of pie?
Would you like a slice of pie? A humble ron
in never demands name ninety nine in my in this
cold world spring too. Nah too on the hat and
the splendid top of the hat and a splendid to you.
Sean Ramsey Djinging says, I'm chuckling at my desk because

(11:04):
Roger called me out for mentioning Vanessa Kaye Pergo, Lizzie Trump.
I love you both. Yeah, he was. You was wildin
with that. Nobody cares. You know, when you don't care,
you always just leave us five stars for this episode.
You care.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
It's okay to care.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I don't know what that woman did or what Tiger did,
but it got under these skin a little bit.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Anybody goes through that. I go through it too.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Sean says, I want to apologize. If it seemed like
I was suggesting equivalent levels of danger from Ice, I
was not. I was just noting that nobody is safe. Yeah,
I feel you, I think yeah. In the context of
what was being said, I was basically saying, like I
doubt that Apia isn't as much isn't very much danger,

(11:49):
uh percentage wise, But yeah, I think we all are
on the same page of no, no one feels like
anyone is safe. I think that's part of the point.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yep, no matter who you are.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, and I you know, obviously we would never say
some shit like that on our airways of like no
you safe. It's like, you know, you're more than likely
you'll be okay, You're probably gonna be okay. That's that's
kind of the sad thing about authoritarianism and fascism.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
And uh, these.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Type of demogogues being in charge of these people being
in charges that a part of a big part of
this is about the feeling of fear. Even if percentage
wise I feel as a black person that I know
not even feel I know, percentage wise is a black
person getting stopped by the police, there is a much much,
much much higher percentage that I'll actually be okay, Like

(12:42):
just in life, Like if if every time police interacted
with a black person we got killed the ship, would
you know, they'd be literally millions of dead black people
dead every day. Yes, it would be, but that's that.
But the fear is not. The fear is not necessarily
attached to in this interaction every single time, I will
be dead. No, the fear is attached to I don't

(13:04):
know which interaction it could be, and it doesn't necessarily
seem to be anything predicated upon what I do and
I think that is definitely the fear that the people
in charge of the United States right now would like
to be relayed out into the world, is hey, bring
your German ass here and we might fuck you up.
I don't know, you know, It's like, well, I did

(13:26):
all my paperwork. I'm a white lady. I'm here for business.
It don't matter business, pleasure, whatever the fuck. You just
need to not feel safe, and it'll probably keep people
from coming here. In the way. That is keeping Apia
from coming back to America. She's like, I'm good, I
don't want to come back. I don't blame her at
all because but that is also the point of what
they're doing is you know, if you can name all

(13:49):
three of the white people that got picked up, then
it's really not a lot of white people. But white
people ain't safe.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
They not.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
There have already been citizens illegally detained by ICE, impossibly
disported deported. I'm sorry, it is impossible to know because
they are preventing due process, and only large scale data
we have is released by the criminal organization known as ICE,
which is about as reliabley as are used using a
sieve as a condom or sieve as a condom. Uh.
They continue to use ilegal learner that to go racial

(14:18):
profile and methods for most of their abductions. And those
officers who said methods should be thrown who you said
methods should be thrown under the jail? Yeah? I thank
every Yeah. The other thing I would add too is, uh,
it is interesting because we had people. We haven't seen

(14:39):
any of these commenters on our YouTube page since and
maybe they only watch our shorts, which will make sense.
So I haven't submitted a short that's really about this yet.
But all those people are gone, all those people who
said all this shit about uh oh, he ain't deporting

(15:00):
nobody does not here illegally and all that they're gone.
Where are your comments? And more importantly, where's your fucking
morals and your and your outrage? Why aren't you like, well,
you know what, I did support him enforcing the law,
But now that I see he is going above and
beyond revoking people's visas just because they're protesting, say lying

(15:25):
and saying people are tied to hermas when they aren't
deporting Pete fathers of families who aren't part of a gang,
and then mocking the judge that that that that rules
that you need to get this person back here because
you should not have deported them illegally. Where's your outrage, guys,
where's your fairness? Where's your balance?

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Because you I could tell from your comments you was
on that big as shit too. You wasn't. It wasn't
about deportation for you. It was about brown people. It
was about not people you consider not American. That's what
it was about. The next comment is from Hustle, no flow,
and honest to god, this ship is way too fucking long,
like it is a massive thing about the self evaluation topic.

(16:13):
Oh what the fuck? It's a chapter a book. I'm
not reading this.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
And did they have paragraphs? They got a forward? It
is paragraphs, but it's long as ship.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Come on, man, the topics now three weeks old references? Right?
He said, I'm a man joining the evaluation topic. And
look at all this, y'all can see it on the screen.
Come on, man, I feel like this is just more
approval what I'm saying. Right, The men ain't the ones
that got the problem. I hate the self evaluation. Let

(16:50):
me give you seventeen paragraphs. Why what? No, just man
explaining to us with all the women already explain to
us about not liking it. That's hilarious, oh man anyway,
But if you want to hear his point made more succinctly,
listen to the women who wrote in last week who
said this ship in the paragraph or two. It's the

(17:12):
exact same thing. God, you can go read it on
the website if you want to. Guys, it's the exact
same thing. It's like that. Even the percentages of like
the bell curve and everything the women explained this last
week so short. It's just hilarious that a man took
so long to explain this, just like a man flow.
But God, even you gotta go back and look at

(17:34):
this comment like I was tripping and.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
We're just bigging at your baby.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
No, no, I'm serious. It's funny. It's funny, but it
is what happened. You wrote a long gas thing when
the women all wrote short things.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's funny and I've been kind.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
I know it might sound wild, but I've been thinking
about this about you know, why was I feeling like this?
And I really came to an epiphany. I've realized that
I had some things happened in the past because I'm
a very hard worker, and I'm a very dedicated persons
to whatever I put my calls and stuff in. And
I've had some things that happened in my past where

(18:13):
I worked hard and dedicated myself to these things and
it didn't and it did not end will and I
ended up being very hurt from the process. And I'm
sitting back and thinking it made I made myself a
promise that if my name was not on the side
of the building, you were never getting one hundred percent.
So I really do think that's why I feel certain
ways about jobs and things like that, because I feel like,

(18:35):
what is the point of giving one hundred, ten hundred
and twenty five percent to something I don't own?

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, and that's your prerogative, you know. And I don't
blame you. You know, companies constantly let employees down that
you know that do feel like I'm giving one hundred percent,
And then it's just like, yeah, not really right.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
You can turn around and be like, we don't give
a fuck you dedicated twenty five years, We don't give
a fuck you. It's all your you know, green kids, birthdays,
we don't give a fuck about any of that.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, And you know, especially like I get people that
are in competitive feels or they are have a type
of personality where it's like I just want to get
to the highest pay grade and the highest position I
can get. That's one mentality, and I don't blame them.
Many times those people, you know, will prosper. Many times
those people will also not be rewarded. Most of those

(19:28):
people will also give you a litany of shit that
they feel like their jobs don't appreciate from them. So
it's a job at the end of the day, So
I get it, all right, honesty, David says, finally coming
down from the euphoria of the live show to reach
out and just say thank you for the amazing show.
I love fangirling out with the crowd. I can't wait
for the next one person or virtually I'll be there. Okay,

(19:50):
back to myself evaluation for the month, with my with
my exceeds expectations reflection.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
So everybody putting exceeding on there, I think gonna be
bold next next and they give us I'm gonna really
sit down and really think about it, because you really
made me think that, Yes, this is one of the
few times that I would actually advocate for myself. I
wouldn't go into nobody's office, and this is nothing that
I would demand on my own. So I next time

(20:18):
we do have evaluation, I will view it very very differently,
like like like talking to you is kind of made
me shift my how I process that a little bit.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, I think, especially for those of y'all who are
at jobs where you don't feel appreciated or you don't
feel that your work is going acknowledge, I think I
would definitely use their evaluation as a non confrontational way
to put that into the into the into the mix.
Because because it's not, like I said, I could see

(20:52):
if y'all were the type to be like because I
walk up in that office and be like, I need
a raise, but y'all ain't. So this is the way
that this is better than what you were gonna do,
which is sit at your edge your dash and grumble
and feel unappreciated and never said and then when and
then actually give them footing years later to be like,
we never gave you a raise because you never fucking

(21:12):
even said like we didn't. You never even seem like
you wanted to get a raise. You never seemed like
you thought you were in the conversation. I never seemed
like you thought you deserve better. You never seemed like
you thought you were doing more work than we told
you to do. So, uh, why the fuck? Like we
have five years and you just putting meat expectations. So
that's what the fuck we've been paying you? Like, Eve says,

(21:33):
just wanted to say, I've been loving the banner segments lately.
I've always liked them, but in this past week it
has had me cackling. I'm glad you enjoyed it, you know.
I feel like, like all segments, they get better with
time as we continue to do them.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yes, and particularly with me becoming more comfortable and actually
understanding the concept.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
And then on YouTube we got comments for meat Sexpectations,
got three. Parish King says, love your show, look forward
to your show. Thank you. Uh z Mom Harp says,
get them Rod. They love gas lighting about so called
trans issues. They do. Uh Dutchy says co host say
that again, it's awesome. Would like to hear her more. Yeah, Karen,

(22:18):
yay more? Please? That ain't no problem.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
That that ain't no problem. I always got something to.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Say, yeah, all right, and then a but a big
part of it too, is also that I'm reading all
the y'all's feedback and shit, so don't leaving the feedback
on the comment episode. On the leaving a comment on
the feedback episode and being like I want to hear
Karen Moore, that's probably the worst episode to leave because
I'm the one reading your comment and then you got

(22:48):
to depend on her to like talk. I don't fortunately talk,
so no, he does not. All right, let's get to
a beat so we can play. Uh, so we can
get past eight later on, Let's see how about this.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
One another sacle muse agreement.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
All right, next episode is thirty seventy one, Return of
the Smack Ronald. Raphael says, nobody can tell me otherwise
that it wasn't Drake and his lawyer's fouling outa complaints
to the FCC. Listen, any complaint, I guarantee you that
it can.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Hold out for ann they tell him everybody, all one
hundred and fifty of y'all foul report.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Listen, any complaint, I guarantee you that it can be
read in Drake's voice. By the way, do you have
a kid trying to drive your car into the ocean?
Worry not? Oss got you covered. Let's let an orcer
handle that kid for five minutes. A kid reborn shall
be returned back to you first sign our NBA. Oh no,

(24:27):
but yeah, I believe that scam. I think Ronald Raphael
would recognize a scam. And Drake calling the FCC all
theumn times makes that makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Now, hey, I'll come from the same number, same account. Yeah,
I agree with that, same in and the address. Check
the callback number. The area coast is in Canada.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Appiell says, where did we hear last about Mark Morrison?
On this very program? You asked the philosophical question where
the mac was returning from? I thought a lot about it,
right where was he returning? Apparently jail did solve that?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yes we did. But yeah, I mean where we heard
about it?

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Not here? You know what I mean? Like week, I
think of random shit all the time when I'm high.
That don't got nothing to do with it. It's really
the world's thoughts happening. I ain't heard about market in
a minute. Big Banks says, Nicole's our grandmothers Now, what
happened to Bertha Dorothea Geraldine? We the new adults? Yeap shoebody,

(25:24):
says Karen, I'd started getting sick right around when you
did last week. I couldn't tell if it was alergies
or a mix or whatever is going around lately, but
I leaned it to the remedies from growing up. And
I'm glad to report to allis well now. Massa ball, soup,
sunny de larsity and early bed times.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, I feel a lot, a whole lot better than
I did before. It was a process.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
I took all the I think it was like ten
days of clearg and I took all the clearitan and
things that I just took it every day till it
ran out. And I really do think that it probably
had a lot to do with the pollen. I guess
the pollen and stuff is gone down now. But man,
then it was kind of at his height because everybody's car.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Is just yet.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
No polem's been crazy, you know. I've been going on
walks and going outside, and like I had to go
to the car wash almost once or twice, like every
couple of days, I'm going to the car wash to
get the polem off the car. So yeah, it's not
a problem. Really really really took off the last week
or two. So it could have just been an algae thing,
because if it was a cold, I didn't catch it.

(26:24):
And I'm sleeping right next to you in the bed,
and the.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Thing is, it wasn't. No, it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
It wasn't coffin.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
It was it was just blowing my nose.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, you just stuffed up, but you never know. And
I did give you lots of soups and all that
stuff and it was good.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah. I was going to be early.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
I'm sorry, No, I say yeah, I was going to
better just from being tied.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Ramsey Djinger says Monique is exhausting in her request to
bash both Tyler and Oprah that thanks for all that
you do, Ramsey. Sim Simmons says Karen Riffin during Ride's break,
was too funny. Let me google black coons might be
the funniest phrase ever. I was getting dressed and fell
on my bed. I want that as a sound effect.
Caring is amazing.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
I couldn't think of the list. I was like, I
know it's a list somewhere.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
That's what I had to do when I was coming
up with my count coup down. I would some days
I would google black coons and be like this ain't
that Don'm missing, But I can't think it's crazy because
it's not really a lot of list out there for
black coons, which I mean, I guess I'm thankful for.
It shouldn't really be a lot of lists. You would
hope that you know, my list came up first. Honestly,
Trey says, Monique is starting to give me give sorry.

(27:36):
This phrase is funny, even though I know he's being
like it's funny, but it anyway, Monique is starting to
give mental illness realness with more of this Tyler Perry
hay and it is incredibly weird. Why would you number
one do this when he is simply speaking at someone
else's eulogy rests Angie Stone number two give him hell,

(27:57):
when he was already apologizing to you as far as
I know, and not spoke on this sense apologizing. It
don't matter, man, I like, I remember when they released
that recording and the Internet loves mess and they were
and a lot of people were, you know, and they
hate a lot of the Internet hates Tyler Perry, black
black Internet anyway, but I remember when that recording came

(28:20):
out and sayings the Internet meaning not me wanting to
talk about it, not me reading someone else's take. Just
I went to go listen to the recording for myself uninterrupted,
and I came away and thought, this lady has tried
to set him up with this phone recording his phone call,
and it's not damning in any way. If anything, he

(28:43):
came off to me looking like a person who's dealing
with somebody who is essentially almost harassing him. At this
point where.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
He's like, I've moved on.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
I don't think what I did was wrong, but I'm
apologizing so that you can move on, right. And if
if I if we were in a court of law,
I feel like I can defend my actions to the letter.
And but I see it's hurting and holding you back.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Right, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
So he sees to her, so can you just not?
And and the fact that she knew it was being
recorded and was still taking shots at him, to me,
that's that said so about her. That said something because
now it's content because you know you're gonna put it out.
That's why you recording it. What's the other point of
having a recording. It's so you could be like and
see guys, And that he wasn't really biting, and I

(29:36):
was like, yeah, I'm out of here, Like whatever's happening
is very personal and between like you and your husband
and all this other stuff. And I think it really
was illuminated when her own son had issues and the
way that her and Sydney dismissed his issues, you know.
And I said, Okay, so when y'all have a grudge,
everybody gotta get.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
On their knees and stop what they do.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
But when when your son has a grudge, he just
need to shut the fuck up and go away.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
He's just a lunatic.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Okay, I've said it all before, I said it again.
Sydney got her fucked up. Why would you rile your
significant other up like this and then send them out
to the public social media sphere and basically tell her
talk your shit as a manager? That seemed mad, a
professional low key. Seems like he might be trying to
sabotage your career because the stuff he encourages her to
go out there and say makes absolutely no sense. That's

(30:23):
one way to look at it, and you might be right.
But the other thing I would think is maybe she
got a manager that she can run, Like, maybe that's
why her man is her manager that he gonna always
let her keep that battery in her back, and whether
it's a decision that's bad or good for her career,
he's gonna back it because it's her decision. Yes, and
that might be more important to her than a manager

(30:45):
or a PR team or somebody that would be like, no,
you can't do that, this is gonna harm you. She
might have her priorities of no, I want my management
team to be like, you can do this thing. Talk
shit about the studio, talk shit about Tyler Perry talks
about Oprah, talks about Lee Daniels, It doesn't matter. Just
keep going. And maybe that's what Sidney does for Yeah,

(31:07):
you never know, Sidney need to just be her husband,
not her husband manager. Also just feels like Monique is
just one of those maybe it's just you type people too. Yeah,
that's what I'm more. I don't know how many years
we have to do this before it's like maybe it's
just her man. Whatever. This combination to Hear and him
is is it just seems like we read read more
about this shit than we read about her career. I agreed,

(31:28):
it is what it is at this point. Thanks againing
Rodney Karen trek Eve says, if Tyler Perry has no haters,
then Monique is dead. At this point, she's starting to
look kind of unhinged, starting to He could apologize, and
I believe he has tried, but I don't think anything
will ever make it right with her. Some people just
love being victims. I recently learned that Mark Morrison a
return of to mac famous British so when he asserted

(31:51):
that guy he was looking for all the smoke bruh
ah do you want the smoke? Bruh? All right?

Speaker 2 (32:01):
We got comments on the YouTube YouTube as well.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Okay, do you want the smoke? Bro uh, let's see
return of the smack. We got six comments. Let's see.
Will two K says love your show. The caraffe of
dipping dots would have had me confused as well. When
the Mumbler story, which is then the Mumbler story, which
is the Bancher Hall of Fame, you guys started this

(32:27):
show on one hundred, Well thanks Will, thank you.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
I was confused.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Beijingsville says, wait, so the anti sword law is called
Ronin's law. Unfortunate irony there. I hope it passed. Is
passing is effective? Yeah, Ronan's law. Now it's not spelled
the same as like a Japanese roning, but I.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Liked the Ninja turtle.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yes it's not spelled that way, but still sound similar.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Shakes By says, I see the analogy about Kanye being
the guy on the train, but I think he is
actually the other one who actually did the damage and
is causing others to consider that the consequences aren't that
bad for taking a life. I don't think that the
people he attacks thinks that he is harmless. The people
who he will look up to him and see his
point and think he is a genius are doing all

(33:16):
they can to follow his story and dismiss anyone that
thinks it is a sign of illness. He still has
a considerable following to get himself right back financially, considering
how far off he fell not too long ago. Shakes By,
I don't know. I tell you this, I cannot disagree
with you more. I just don't think Kanye. I don't
think there are a lot of people that see his point.

(33:37):
I don't think a lot of people are following alone
his story and saying he's not mentally ill. I don't
think when academics puts out a fucking interview and Kanye's
wearing a Black Clans robe and ranting and wearing a
Swastika chain that a bunch of people are like, that's
not a mentally ill person. That is a person who
just is telling the truth, living his story. I think

(34:00):
you have to make that up in order to do
this thing of we need to stay on Kanye's neck.
I don't care if you stay on Kanye's neck. I'm
in the next train, is my point. I think he
is a crazy man. He is basically a person in
a subway car covered in shit who is like mentally unwell,

(34:24):
and we should all get the fuck out of the
car because we can't stop him from being mentally unwell.
He's not gonna take care of his mental health, right,
and he's not responding. You guys are attributing motivations to him.
I think that makes sense to us, with our brains
that are either functioning or regulated with medicines and stuff,

(34:47):
like those of us who are taking care of our
mental health. We treat him as if he is and
we're like, well, he's gonna see that if we would
just do this, he's never gonna see he ran for president.
That's how delusional he is off these mads. This is
not a rational person. This stuff he's doing with his
own kids, where he was gonna have his kids in

(35:08):
the house with Andrew Tate and his brother, who are
reasonably accused of multiple instances of sex trafficking and sexual assault.
I'm not going to listen to you and believe like,
no totally reasonable guy, and everyone thinks that. No, most
of us think he's out of his fucking gored and
the impetus that we must destroy him is really more

(35:33):
about just how distasteful and scary and ugly what he's
going through is. But the reason I don't want to
give him that level of power over the culture, which
I just fundamentally don't believe he has, is that Elon
Musk is fucking running the goddamn country doing Nazi salutes.

(35:53):
Donald Trump is a white supremacist they are taking seriously.
That's the danger that But it's easier to choke out
quote unquote online with Kanye than it is to like
beat make our country be a responsible country and say,
get these people the fuck out of power. Kanye doesn't
have real power. No, it is not like even here
you didn't name a name. When you're like, I bet

(36:15):
the people that he attacks who who are the people
that Kanye is attacking that, we're like, damn man, Kanye
fucked them up. All of us are like, that's a
crazy person. If he says if anything, it probably uh
to me. Kanye joining into anti Semitism makes anti Semitism

(36:35):
look even more ridiculous. Like it's already ridiculous to me,
but when Kanye is like, yeah, it really makes you
go Jesus Christ, there's no point. Whatever point the other
anti Semites were making is definitely not inboding when this
nigga steps over there. Nope, so no, I don't think so.
And I think you know, the a the ad L

(36:59):
issue in the state and against Kanye West. But then
telling us to you know, look the other way at
Elon Musk's Nazi salute tells you who's who was the
real danger. One of these niggas is not that dangerous.
That being said, I don't really like none of you've
never heard us support or act like, oh, you're huge. Gen.

(37:19):
He made some good points. I don't fuck with him,
but I'm also not gonna do our show every day
telling y'all much. I don't fuck with him because it's
fucking obvious he's a crazy person that we should all
just fucking ignore. He's just yelling in the train, waiting
for somebody to come in there. So yeah, I'll stand
by my analogy, and I don't think that you shut
it down at all. But once again, you don't have

(37:40):
to agree. And uh, you know, I get I get
people feeling differently, but that's why I said it on
the show. I know what I'm saying is different than
most people because most people get off on the the
commonality that we carry in the disdain for that man,
and it also helps us to feel like we're better people.
But honestly, everybody should be better than Kanye West. That's

(38:03):
that's the lowest bar. To Claire. People being upset about
Kanye means nothing to me. You should be like that
should be the default is when he's the ship he's
saying right now, that should be zero people telling you
how it's not. Uh like, it's kind of a good point.
So yeah, anyway, I feel you though, I think he's

(38:23):
just been that offensive to people, and so once you're offended,
it has to go up to the next level. But
you know, I think he count I count him the
same way I do like Azalea Banks, Like that person
says offensive shit and yes it's fucked up, and I
don't agree with it. But I don't necessarily know how
dangerous that person is because I don't I don't know

(38:45):
anybody that takes them seriously.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Yeah, I knowso truth And this is how me on
the outside looking in truth be told. A lot of
people love Kanye, and a lot of people were very
hurt watching his downfall, and it took a lot of
people a long time to actually admit and be truthful
with themselves to what they were seeing, this mental break
because in their mind they was like, I love his music,

(39:09):
I like him. He gonna get together, he gonna get together,
he gonna get together, he gonna get like like. They
kept saying that, and then when they realized he was
not going to get it together, that sadness and pain
turn to anger, and that anger is I'm always gonna
be on your ass.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
I'm not trying to make funny to me.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
I think for me, this is why some people are
relentless about this, and they will not let it go.
They will not admit that they are hurt and they
are disappointed in his actions and how he got here
based off of them watching the entirety of his career, y'all.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
And it's okay to be sad, and it's okay to
be hurt.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
And disappointed, y'all. I do understand that. But at some
point in time, it's not him, it's you. They gotta
let it go because he is who he is, and
he needs to determine if he's gonna take care of
his mental health or not. This has absolutely nothing to
do with you. The pain that he has caused you.
You need to process that separately.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, And like I said, I don't I get why
it's offensive to people. I just don't know how I
think they have to lie and act like he's more
powerful so that they can say this is why I'm
so mad. And I don't think you need to. I
think you can just be mad at him and him
not be powerful.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Agreed like I think.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
And this always comes up, But what happens my belief
when y'all hear me talk about this, I think a
lot of y'all hear me talk about his mental health
and how it's a big cause of it and I'm
not saying it is a cause of his bigotry. That's
obviously we don't know where the fuck that comes from.
He could just be a biggot. I don't put that

(40:45):
past him, but it's definitely a cause of how he
carries his bigotry, right, meaning, a healthy mind, even for
a bigoted person, knows to say, Ugh, I shouldn't say
that in public. That's gonna cost me a lot of
mone honey and time, and it's gonna fuck up my
life and my career. It's gonna make me not popular,
and brands are gonna stop selling my yeasies. A bigot

(41:09):
with a rational mind goes, no, No, I didn't mean
it like that. And then but they did mean it
like that, right, Look at Eli Musk double Hitler salute. Oh,
I didn't mean it like that. Autism. You see what
I'm saying, Like that's a rational mind, that's that's like,
this ain't rational. This is a man yelling at the clouds.
And so that's a big part of why I'm like,

(41:29):
I will not be treating this the same.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
And I can't take anything he does seriously until he
takes his until he takes his mental health seriously.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
And the other thing is most of y'all. When y'all
hear mental health, you hear, and it's just the way
we have talked about this topic in our society. What
y'all here is a call for sympathy. What y'all hear
is a cause for excuse a blanket, Hey, hey, hey,

(41:58):
mental health, mental health, because that's how people have been
using it as currency in our digital environment. People are
often using mental health to excuse shit, fucked up behavior, abuse,
all this shit. I ain't excusing the motherfucking thing. You're
not taking care of your mental health. That is also
on you. And at this point, this man has a

(42:19):
storied history of not taking care of his mental health
in his more sober moments when he is medically you know,
on his mads and stuff. He'll be quiet, he'll disappear, whatever,
But he must be reckoning with his actions at that
time because he's now you know, medicated and seeing like
the repercussions of what happens when he goes off these mads.

(42:40):
He does he clearly does not repeat this behavior when
he's on mads, right, it says a lot that he
then still chooses. Well, I'm putting out an album on
going off my meds. I'm sorry, I have no there's
nothing I have for this man other than this is
just who he is, this is what he does, and
I don't know twenty years of this is that when

(43:01):
we all go, oh, maybe we's just ignoring I'm on,
I'm ignoring him. I'm not giving him the I'm not
treating his comments with any level of true seriousness about
a actual commentary on society. I just see that man
as an unmedicated bigot, and that's.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
It is what it is.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Rashad says that Cardi b situation from Minds where Rodd
said around the holidays about the internet and access kind
of sad just gets played in the court of public
opinion because the public can't help her with this. Yeah, yeah, sad.
Donna tell says, don't let the text a lot of food.
Your conservatives are freaks too, all we know they the freakis, freaks,
they shouldn't be outside.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
That's what pawn Hoob tells us every at the.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
End of the year.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Uh Jason says, love the banter about LaMelo Ball. They
have definitely the value fund in basketball media. My two teams.
I enjoy watching the most of my life where Van
X or Eddie Jones Lakers and the Steve Franciscatino Mobley Rockets.
No one had any delusions of them winning, tight up,
but they were fun. Yeah, And I think I was
saying this on Twitter because this finally some people started

(44:07):
broaching this discussion about how like, part of what makes
NBA fans such fucking miserable fucks is that so many
of them just they fell into the GM culture and
they and I seen, you know, journalists and basketball people
that do a lot of comments say stuff like like
one of them, I forget his name, I don't mean,

(44:27):
but he said, well, this is just a logical conclusion
of being a fan. You want your team to win.
So then you start thinking, you start keeping track of
things like salaries and the salary cap and trades and
all this stuff. And I don't disagree with him, and
that it is the logical conclusion of wanting a team
to win the championship. That is a logical conclusion. You

(44:48):
will eventually start thinking about every little thing, right, the draft,
the salary, the this type of deal, this type of trade,
this type of exemption. You gonna think about that that's
a that's a good point. Fanatics, which is what fan
stands for, That's what fan is short for. Fanaticism doesn't
have to be logical. So when we're talking about what

(45:11):
makes something the most fun, I'm not talking about what
is the most logical thing. The most logical thing is
to wear a condom during sex. What makes sex the
most fun is probably not that, which is why we're
all existing on Earth. Right. There's a level of fun

(45:31):
that is missing when you take it to the logical
extent down now, you're just a fucking miserable person. And
I feel the same way about Marvel movies the same
way about video games. There's a place where there's a
happy medium where you're like, oh, I'm playing a fun
video game. There's another medium where you're like, you know,

(45:52):
I heard the company's stock price. I'm just saying that
part is an opposite of fun. And sometimes you play
video game right and you just had a fun time
for that game. You weren't thinking where's it gonna place
in the Game of the year discussion. You weren't thinking
this needs to make a certain amount of profit. People
do that with sports all the time. They have fun,

(46:14):
They have a fun team look at the Indiana Pacers.
That's a fun fucking team. They're jumping and dunking, They're
running up and down the court, they playing no fucking defense.
Fun to watch, very fun. I kill to switch places,
like for the Hornets to be a fun team like that.
But there's another level where let's go to the Boston man.

(46:35):
Them Boston Celtics fans look fucking miserable. That shit look
like it sucked. They don't look like they're having fun.
Team don't like they having fun. Expectations, we need to
win the championship, but we ain't shit the fucking stars,
and I'm not respected enough. The fucking style of play.
Everybody hates it. You shoot too many threes. But that's

(46:55):
the best way to win the championship is to pay
as many people as they're paying to shoot as many
threes as the shooting to have the style of basketball
they're having. And everybody's fucking miserable. All threw up, up
and down the NBA. Nobody wants those guys to beat
the champions of the league. Right the San Antonio Spurs.
Back when Duncan was no one like shit was born.

(47:15):
So my point is the balance has been lost. There's
a fun to be had in rooting for because I too,
finally look at fan X or Eddie Jones, finally look
at that Catino Mobley, Steve Francis, y'allmen rockets the most recently,
you know, I was thinking, uh, Carmelo Anthony got adducted
to the Hall of Fame and everybody's on his dick,

(47:38):
and I'm like, that is so funny because Carmel and
Anthony was a guy we said can't win the championship
with the second he wasn't a threat to Jordan's legacy
and the second he wasn't really a threat to Lebron's
legacy or Kobe's legacy or whatever. Because rings culture or whatever,
everybody's like, I love this guy, And I'm like, that's
why can't LaMelo Ball be loved like that?

Speaker 2 (47:59):
Right?

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Why can't some of these other players that were like,
they're just fun. They're not really contenders, but it's just
fun guys to watch, fun teams. We lost something with that,
and I think it's because we all got old.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
Yeah, and also maybe it's just me and maybe I
still have the kid inside of me whenever it comes
to basketball, because I love the NBA.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
I'm gonna tell y'all right now, whenever.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
I watch a team play, I don't know how many
millions of dollars to start in five makes.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
I have no fuck.

Speaker 4 (48:29):
I'm'a keep it real like like shit like that what
you're talking about. I was like, Oh, that's somebody else's job.
When I come to the game and pay season ticket
prices and sit my ass down, I'm either entertained or
I'm not. And I think for me because I treat
a lot of shit that simple. Same thing with video
games movies. When I pick up something in the form
of fun like fun for me, it's somebody else job

(48:51):
to do debits and credits and all that shit. That's
not my job, you know, to make a profit and
all that shit. My job was Am I entertained or not?
So the people boom and I'm supposed to be entertained.
Then got into the numbers, and now they word like
the people in the numbers, because you know, those are
the people that actually worry about shit like that, because
it's their job to make sure the team's profitable market

(49:12):
the team, Like, that's their job, that's what they get
paid to do.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
I don't get paid to do that shit. I'm fucking
paying for the product.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
I don't get paid to worry myself to the death
about shit that don't matter. Either I'm entertained or I'm not.
And that's kind of how I look at it. But
for some people, they get entertainment out of complaining. They
get an entertainment out of I got a collective people,
and if the collective people say we got the hate,
this is where I get my joy. I had to
understand this, particularly when it comes to nerd nerd nerd shit.

(49:40):
I had to understand a lot of people like to
complain and and and they have a collection where they
get together and to complain, and that's where they had
their fund. I don't have my fund, And complaining, to me,
that's not enjoyment, and it's not in my private personal
is not entertainment. Because a lot of times, particularly when
it comes to certain things. I kind of seen this
with like the movies. You ask somebody about a Marvel

(50:03):
moving you know, so you know cause because the thing
is nobody's perfect, it's hit and miss whatever, and they'll
complain and tell you about everything that's fucking wrong with it.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Then when they get to the.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
End, that was like, what it's nineine ten. I was like, bitch,
I heard everything you said the way you complain it.
It don't sound like you really like that movie, you
know what I'm saying. So in my mind I was like, Oh,
it's a disconnect that I'm not getting because if I
enjoy something, you're gonna hear the excitement in my voice.
You're gonna hear the joy in my voice. You're gonna
hear the love in my voice. But something has happened
in the world where it's showing joy and love and

(50:35):
excitement and and and actually saying positive things about something
is a negative. It's like I must I must critique,
you know, And a part of critiquing is consistently tearing
it down and not giving it any praise at all.
And it is ill, for it has infiltrated all parts
of our lives. Not turn funny and not to get

(50:55):
off topic, but even in the politics, people would come
to the Democrats everything they do is fucking wrong. We
must critique it, we must tear it down, we must
act like it the shit don't matter, even though yeah,
they're doing about ninety eight percent of what we ask
for them to do, but they ain't do the two percent,
So I'm complained about the fucking two percent and I
don't function like that.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah, I think that really does summarize a lot of it.
And I'm not saying those things can't be critiqued or
discussed as far as like, you know, why this thing
didn't work or whatever, But I think a lot of
times people just forget shit be fun. I remember when
the Hornets won like forty games, and when the playing

(51:36):
two years in a row, and listening to people bitch
about being in the playing and not winning, and how
everybody you know, the team, you know, the fire to
code change everything. It was like, oh so even when
this thing is and that was the most fun. That's
what the Hornets will call like the league past favorite.
That team was so fun and those people didn't appreciate

(51:59):
it or like it that much then. And now you
fast forward to where they're at the bottom of the
league basically, and it's still kind of sound. The commentary
still sounds about the same. It's still like misery was
the common thread for all those people. To me, I'm
perfectly fine with them being a a We're in a
playing area team that is dunking and throwing alley loops

(52:20):
and done fer You know what, Dog, let's sign me up.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
I'll be back next year for a season ticket holder,
because I want to be entertained.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
You know, and I and I know it sounds counter intuitive,
but I'd rather do something like that than be one
of these people that are like, you know, like when
you look at like Lakers fans and it's like, if
we don't win a fucking ring, this year was a
waste of Lebron and the Lakers, and it's like, Dog,
that's a fun team. If y'all lose, it's a fun team.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
It's a fun team like that that that was a
fun team.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
They lost to Joker in then when they got like
swept or gentlemen swept or whatever, like that was still
a fun ass team. A lot of people would kill
to have a that made them feel that way. But
you know, that's the trappings of when you look at
everything like win a ring or bust anyway, But yeah,
thank you for the comment, he says. Also, Nick van

(53:15):
X was my favorite lefty baller. Shout out to Nick.
He was a beast. He's definitely on the top five
for me. Lefty ballers, trying to think, Man, who to
be on my list? Mhmm, Kenny Anderson was nice?

Speaker 4 (53:32):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (53:32):
I think Glenn is Glenn Rice left handed? Let me see.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Lamello left handed? Ay?

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Uh no, okay, uh I know. Uh, let me say
it's Glenn Rice left handed. No, he's right handed. Okay, Man.
There was somebody else I was thinking about to have
a smooth stroke that was left handed. I can't remember.
Uh Obama of course.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Oh yeah, my favorite lefty.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Uh uh yeah, James Harden. That's not how I was thinking.
I wasn't old enough to see Bill Bill Russell play. Uh,
Monald Genoble, That's not who I was thinking of. Mike
Conley Jr. Nope, Chris Mallen had stroke left hand, van
Ax so for sure. Zach Randolph I didn't realize he

(54:21):
was left handed. But yep, Kenny Anderson's on the list. Yeah.
I can't remember who it was that had like they
had a super sweet jumper, Zion Williamson. Of course, Derrick
Fisher had the sweet jay. I guess this list is
just random. It's not alphabetic or nothing. Okay.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
El good Rich is above Zach Randolph.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
But okay, oh yeah, Sam Perkins had that lefty JS
slow ass jumper.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
He used to shoot.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Hey man, Sam Perkins really getting he needed, he deserved
more things because he was the bit the first. It's
like big Man center to be like, man, I'm out
here by this three point line, y'all hollered at me.
I'll need these threes. Oh, Avery Johnson was a lefty.
I didn't remember. I remember him being a lefty, but
he couldn't shoot. He was he was bringing the brand down. Oh,
Damon stotter Man, That's all I was thinking about. But

(55:15):
more about him in college, not the pros. But Damon
stodtermyer left headed ask was sweet. Oh, he used to
give people the business in the fucking in the college anyway,
moving on, moving on, he says, Hi, Monique and vander
Sils need to link up and go across the country
and do a shows on bridges and then after the

(55:36):
show they burned the bridges to the ground. It would
do numbers. It's a good point. It working. I think
I didn't read the poll for.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
The first episode. Me sexpectations, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
How would you evaluate your performance at your current job
below expectation mes expectations or above expectations. I would say meat, uh,
seven percent below, forty three percent meats and fifty percent above.
I hope y'all put that on y'alls valuation.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
You better have in one of them categories.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
And the poll for this episode was have you ever
contacted the FCC? Yes or no?

Speaker 2 (56:13):
I don't even know how to contact the FCC.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Baby, Yeah, I think you can go to their website.
But ninety six percent no, four percent yes?

Speaker 4 (56:19):
For what I would love to know, complain about the
news lady, Yeah, because that's normally what I hear about them.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Call AMCC for talking about the news ladies.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Right, what was y'all calling? Y'all listen to our show
and you contact the FCC. But I don't know. Maybe
they saw something racist.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Maybe I had a good reason, right, They was like
not on my watch.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
The last episode of the week was thirty seventy two
Seeing Beyond the Horizon. Apia says, I agree with everything
you're saying about politics, and I feel sorry to people
in the US who didn't cause the situation, but I
have to feel the consequences. Yep, that would be us.
Nintendo switches all fucked up?

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Now, Oh so hurd about that?

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Shoe Booty says, have birthday Caaren Aries Queens Unite. I'm
gonna need one of y'all international niggas. Buy me a
switch and maillet to me right. Just don't tell them
what's in there. Okay, take it, take it apart. I'll
put it together with screwdriver when you get here. I
don't care. I needs that. I'm looking forward to my
switch that it needs that. I paid the shipping. I

(57:20):
just says I found a twenty five hour speech inspiring.
It's more of a show thing, but this is what
can be done right now. It got lots of positive coverage. Uh,
and it seems very hard to do. Shoe Boody said,
oh wait, I read this Happy Birthday Karen eric Aris
Queen's Unit. Okay, my bad, Okay, I did read it.
Hustle No Flow left another long comment, but I'm gonna

(57:41):
read this one. Okay. That that man explaining when we
already had covered that, says, I felt good watching the
last hours of book or speech. People are so quick
to say that this or that won't do anything, and
I'm starting to think that they tell themselves that so
they don't have to do anything, since it won't matter anyway,
You've been right to keep pointing out that it's weird

(58:02):
the way that them supposedly can't do anything right. Yet
people feel it when the things get undone. It's not
just the party messaging, but if the people don't show
enthusiasm for the incremental wins, they stript the politicians of
the impetus to go further. Obama got what he could
with the ACA, but there was always hope that they
could go even further. And then he flat out told
us the citizens that if we wanted things to happen,

(58:22):
we need to organize and give him the mandate. Instead,
we want to sit back and complain that they aren't
doing anything right.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
That's what kills me. Get off your ass quick complaining.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Yeah, bar that he has that it's been dismissed by
the cynicism of the internet, but it's a bar.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
It is.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Don't boo vote. It's one hundred percent how I live
my life. You should go vote. Just booming and stay
in your ass home means nothing to me, and you
deserve what you get when you do that. Yes, you
do like the idea that you that's truly what entitlement is.
I shouldn't even have to do the most minuscule thing,
which is voting bare minimum. I shouldn't even have to

(58:58):
do that to be taken care by you people that
I refuse to support it anyway, suck my dick, and
now we're here. Meanwhile, the other side is giving mandates
left and right. They're showing up at school board means
on CRT, they're calling in about d I, they're running
for and winning local positions to set their agenda. Yeah,
they might be about to steal our judge vote in
North Carolina. They might be about to steal it. And

(59:21):
it's all because they don't sit back and just boot.
They go vote and then they use their power corruptly
to just steal shit. They just don't give a fuck. So,
you know, it's hard to look at your fellow citizens
and just to say like, oh, they're both kind of
the same.

Speaker 4 (59:36):
Man.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
We're playing a rig game, and nobody wants to admit
that it's rigged.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
Right, And maybe it's just me And maybe because of
the election and all the things I see now that
irritates me when people have casual conversations and they talk
about the Republicans and agree with the ship that they
do is fucked up, and then turn around and say, well,
the Democrats are the same of both SATs.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
No, bitch is not the same. They do they actually
do not do the same things.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
But people do that to justify the bullshit of actually
not participating, Like people use that as an excuse to actually,
I have to shit, No you don't. Nobody says that
they're perfect, but at the same time they're not doing
that shit.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Strategies have been on shows recently pointing out that you
don't blame the voters or lack of interest in politicians,
of blame the voters the customers for lack of interest
in politicians the product. I think that analogy is super
flawed since in this case you're going to get one
or the other, so why let them give you the
worst product? Yeah, that comment right there, that is so commonplace.

(01:00:44):
Once again, these are the things I'm questioning, not even questioning,
to be honest, I'm past questioning. These are the things
that I'm cynical about coming out the election. It's the
it's the accepted framework of the UH process that I

(01:01:05):
that I say, I don't I don't believe anymore. I
don't believe people are a voting against their best interests.
I think people believe these things. I don't think people
need to have a conversation. I think people have their
minds made up and they're not being assuaging them and
and and you know, like patting them on the head

(01:01:26):
and telling them it's okay that you hate Mexicans and
blacks and gays is not changing minds these people. Then
they pat themselves on the back for sitting at the table,
and then they go off and they believe exactly what
they believe. I've never seen a single guest mind change
by Bill Maher, not once. He's just gonna bring that
person back and they're gonna have the same opinions they
had the last time they talked to Bill Maher, Right,

(01:01:46):
and he's been doing it for twenty years. Like none
of us is, like, you know what, Bill Maher really
changed such and such Andrew Sullivan was a totally different
guy back then. Nah they they so. Anyway, point is
we're not seeing those type of things. The idea of well,
they'll we whenever they do decide to vote Democrat is

(01:02:09):
because white people and conservatives are learning a lesson, and
swing voters have learned a lesson. No, they're not. They're
gonna swing back the second that they get comfortable, the
second the economy is good, they're gonna go back to
hating a bunch of people that aren't white people. Yep,
and they're gonna vote that way. The I didn't vote
for this people, Yes you did. Why didn't Democrats say this?

(01:02:30):
They did?

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
We have proof of it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
These are things I'm just not allowing people to get
away with. It's why I'm not used in po medical
conversations with other people. We're not bringing anyone on our
podcast to debate. I'm not going on other people's podcast
to debate. And what I see is that this shit
is so ingrained and intrinsic to white supremacy that even
your good white people, good black people, good whatever people.

(01:02:55):
In order to go on these TV shows, they have
to accept a certain type of mentality and worldview. And
so they're already going on there being like, yeah, why
didn't the Democrats not do enough as opposed to No,
I knew to vote that way. I had the information
that you had. Even if I had misgivings, I knew

(01:03:16):
better than to be like, let's let a bigot be
in charge I agreed, So why would I come here
and make excuses for people that felt differently.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
No, there is no excuse for this, and I don't
want to hear it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
But yeah, why are so many people letting censens off there?

Speaker 4 (01:03:32):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
And then the last thing I was gonna say is, uh,
that is one hundred percent what happens when you capitulate
completely into capitalism Because the government is not a business.
And many Democrats will tell you that, Many Democrats strategists
would tell you that, many politicians would tell you that.
They say the government should not be run like a
business and it is not a business. Right, But when

(01:03:55):
they talk about running for a political position, then all
of a sudden they start using sales terms. Oh, the
voters are the customers, the customers always right. Wait a minute,
what I thought you said this is not a business
and you're not running a business, right, But now it's
back to being a business. Right. The politician is the product.

(01:04:16):
You can't blame them for not liking the product. Yes
the fuck you can, Yes you can. That's like saying
when they were calling Jackie Robinson slurs and bully him
during the baseball game. Customers always right, I guess we
don't need blacks in the MLB. Sometimes you just supposed
to do the right shit because it's the right shit
to do right, And it's like, yes, some people won't

(01:04:37):
like it, but guess what, they're not right, and we
need to stop acting like that makes them right because
it's a lot of them. That's not enough. And it's
not even like it's a majority of them. It's a
lot of them. So the real truth is it's a
lot of them, and they're the right color, agreed. So
it's like, oh, there's a lot of angry white people.
Then the country needs to go in the direction they

(01:04:59):
wanted to go because the rest of us don't. We're
not We're not white, and our anger doesn't count it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
We're not the right customers because we talk about customers. Bitch,
I'm not satisfied either, and I have some complaints, you know,
but me as a customer, my mother fucking feelings and
how I feel about that shit don't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
But yeah, why are so many people that insisitors off
the hook because they don't want them to feel bad
or something? You too, are telling it like it is
a country guy would have voted for it. Chilse to
let others vote for people in the hood, complaining that
officials only come around when they want to vote. Well,
we're supposed to be going to their town halls and
hearings and calling their offices and doing all of the
steps to hold them accountable. Yeah. And what's funny is
almost everybody that does that that says that are people

(01:05:39):
that aren't politically involved.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
Agreed.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
They only come around when, no, you don't. They come
around other times. You don't give a fuck. They holding
town halls all the time, they are, and when they
do that, they're coming to you. You're not going to
them your town halls in your community.

Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Yes it is, you know, at the library, at the centers,
Yes it is.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Yes. Ljroy Williams does and live twenty seven cities away
from her borough. She's right there, she's there. You're not there.
And then you're like, they only come around every four years, Like, no,
that's not true. You only care for four years. Anyway. Hopefully,
as strategist will emerge and starts convincing progressives, I won't

(01:06:19):
limit this to our community to one celeb Start celebrating
small wins so we can build some momentum to stay engaged.
Press the leaders and give results. Yeah, I don't know
what it's gonna take, but my guess is gonna take
some level of weird oh standing culture celebrity, bullshit politician.
And I don't even mean that to be derogatory towards

(01:06:42):
whoever that individual's gonna end up being. But I really
feel like that our country is stupid enough that it's
gonna take somebody being basically a celebrity. Like it's gonna
take a like when Obama was running, everybody just thought
he was basically the coolest nigga on the planet. Yep,
he was a celebrity, and now everybody's mad at him
because he had to go be a do his job
and be a politician to the whole country. It's gonna

(01:07:03):
take that. It's gonna take these dummies being like I
just like the way she look and behave And did
you see that dance she did. That's why I ain't
get mad when Jasmine was doing that TikTok shit. That
might be what worked.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
I don't know, right, And also, particularly with Obama, you
bop a good point a Bible time about his celebrity ism,
and this is why I'll look aside nobody listened to
what the fuck he said. Yeah, because he did what
he said he was gonna do, and a lot of
niggas was highly disappointed.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
It was like, well, this is what he said.

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
Did you even listen to him or were you just
looking at the shiny ass nigga and was like, I
vote for you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
Listen to what the man said. That's why you wouldn't
be disappointed.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
Yeah, we might need that though, We might need just
a different type of person on our side that can
influence these dummies. And it's some superficial, you know, surface
level shit. Sean says, it's nice to see the filibuster
use for good for a change. For too long, it's
basically been a tool of prevented equality and fair treatment
under the lost. See Hooker turn that history on his
head and overturn throwman's racist record that preceded it. And

(01:08:05):
then I think he got cut off because it's just common.
But yeah, I'm with you, Biggie Bear Pettit says a
couple quick quick points, Rod as usual. You're right, the
lefties are out calling Bookers filibuster performative. They want action,
but not that action. And I can't tell you what
type of action. Right a friend I have no I

(01:08:26):
have a friend who I used to respect before all
of this and now just see him as sorry. He
absolutely wouldn't vote for Kamalo, then went silent after shit
started hitting. The fan is now moving the gold post again.
It's the DEM's fault and they are imploding and is
playing blah blah blah bullshit. Next. Happy birthday, car you
have the brightest soul in podcast. And you have the
brightest soul in podcast and never changed. Also so happy

(01:08:48):
you're watching Solo Leveling so far as the best anime
of twenty twenty five.

Speaker 4 (01:08:52):
I have one hundred percent agree, like you know, and
we have watched some great let me see, I think
some of Animazing the four but uhh, we have watched
some really great animal It's a lot of anime, but man,
Solo Leveling is up there.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
You should also check out the Apothecary Diaries.

got to that one yet.

Actually, just this new Devil May Cries is a beast,
that's what you're saying. I really like this Devil May Cry.
The music is kind of corny, but you know, in
a good way, like not the not a bad way.
But yeah, we're doing the nerd Off later on tonight

(01:10:17):

the premium people. So you know, hopefully if you're listening
to this, you've either been heard the nerd Off or

do with the audience. I'm hopefully our guests showed up
for tonight. We got a couple of people coming, so
it's gonna be a fun time, even he says, happy birthday, Caaren,

(01:10:40):
I hope your special day was amazing. The thing that
pisces me off about Corey book and filibusters. All the
progressive who probably sat this one out or voted for
Stein have been screaming do something, but did the past
three months, and now someone has has done something. They're
calling it performative. Fuck every last one of those people.
Fuck them, Fuck their parents, FU of kids, Fuck the pets. Yep,

(01:11:01):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
Let's see YouTube.

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
We got any comments on this one? Six comments? All right,
let's see what we got? E m K says, is
that why I hate musicals?

Speaker 5 (01:11:14):
And Karen?

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
You are adorable? Good job right, you too are wonderful
to each other. Lastly, fantastic episode. I hope shows like
POS save America. Watch you guys, your respective your perspective
is everything right now. If anyone asks me anyways, appreciate it. Yeah, man,
I wish I don't know, man, I mean, Loki, I
kind of do wish we had a bigger impact, bigger bubble.

(01:11:39):
But honestly, man, like the shit that comes with those
bigger bubbles and the pushback and the notoriety and the
amount of people that want to yell at you and
harass you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
I don't it ain't simple.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
I don't want to deal with that, but I do wish.
I don't know the ripples of what we I just
wish somebody would stand up and fight for democracy and
Democrats the party. I don't think we should be ashamed

(01:12:14):
of that. No, I don't think the efforts that they're
doing are bad. I don't think they just don't want
it enough. I think we we say those things to
make ourselves feel bigger and better. Yes, but I don't
think those things are true. And I think it would
be nice to have a side that was as fervently

(01:12:39):
charged up about doing good. What are the initiatives they're
passing that I'm like, that's they're doing a bad thing. Healthcare,
the reducing the price of drugs. Even when people are like, well,
you know these billionaires donating cozy up to them, right,
But you know who they up to and then get

(01:13:01):
everything they want Republicans. You know who they give more
money to. Republicans because that's who they want to win.
Why we're just putting shit in their hands? I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (01:13:11):
Yeah, And also for me, a lot of it has
to do people say a lot of those things about
the Democrats because they don't want to hold the voters accountable,
because it's something about not try to funny if you
go to a certain stratosphere and like you said, those
big bubbles, guess what, guess who. They don't criticize the

(01:13:31):
voting populace like I actually like hold the voting populace
accountable for their actions because there's certain things that the
masses just will not accept, and they won't accept you
telling them, hey, we don't agree with y'all, or a
the Democrats are actually doing something good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
Y'all give them credit.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
You know, you know, you sour grapes everything, and then
you know something good happens, you act like the good
shit don't matter because the small wins count as much
as the big wins. Because you because the small wins come,
you dismiss them. A large win comes, you act like
that shit don't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
I just wish we had heart, and I'm not talking
about the politicians. I think that if the people had heart,
the politicians would show up with more heart. I think
it's I don't think it's a relationship. They're waiting on
these politicians to like inspire and lead them. And I
just think that's a mistake. I think you should be
looking at you should already be charged up and inspired.

(01:14:30):
What what the fuck else y'all need to see? You know, Like,
what are y'all waiting on? I don't understand what people
are waiting on? Like I think that's what I mean
when I'm like, for me, I don't need to see
Corey Booker give that's filibuster. I knew Corey Butcher Booker.
I knew Corey Booker was a good dude years ago.

(01:14:51):
Like this is not like I don't need him to
prove it to me through a speech in a time
where he doesn't have any power. I I liked it.
I would have liked to see what Democrats would do
with a real majority, a real like a consistent one,
not when it's Fratten in peril, not two people. Yeah,

(01:15:13):
not where we need Joe Manchin. If we were the
country we say we were, Democrats would always have seventy
seats in the Senate and two thirds majority in the House.
If we were the country we say we are, We're
just not that country. And a big part of the
reason we're not that country because citizens ain't those people,
Shixspea said, I was cracking up doing the guestoray story
about that the Lady Quartermain. Y'all clearly didn't grow up

(01:15:36):
being forced to watch General Hospital, because that name would
have made anyone who had to watch TV with Granny
pop up. Alicia says, happy belated birthday, Queen Karen. Honestly,
why those are the best kinds of gifts. I've dated
men that brought me expensive and nice things that the
typical woman would probably like, but I didn't care for him.
I was grateful for the gift, but they didn't even
get used to use because they weren't for me. One

(01:15:58):
guy from New York bought me a fur code Negro.
I'm in Georgia, where I'm aware this too. It's too
hot anyway, I'll take a twenty dollars meaningful and well
thought out gift over anything else, and I thank you, Alicia.
That's what That's the thing, man. Everybody's relationship is for them.
This y'all's business, and you know we share a part

(01:16:19):
of that because we do a show together and y'all
are privy to some of the stuff. But in general,
like I'm not taking her to the pizza restaurant, so
some so that other people will be happy seeing me
take her to the pizza restaurant. I'm taking her to
the pizza restaurant because she'll be happy at the pizza restaurant.
And I was. Everybody can leave snarky comments on social

(01:16:39):
media about how it's not really pizza. Well Karen, Karen
liked it, so I did.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
It was delicious.

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
I can't take back that, like, it's not your birthday.
You know what you were eating, not what the fuck
I paid for it, because it's not your birthday and
I'm not taking your ass out. So how about that?
Uh CBJ Morgan says, you two are just too cute.
Thank you for being you and Grace and us with
your commentary. Thank you, Tiffany says, hi Rod and Karen

(01:17:07):
love love, love your show. I'm coming to you from
by way of amazing Karen Hunter show to your amazing show,
and I'm also a nice person. Winky face. Immediately upon hearing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
Your voices, my daughter yells out, yay, our friends are on.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
Forever fair Oh yeah, and shout out to your daughter. Okay,
I like that our friends are on. Congrats to the Hornets.
For the win, thank you. No, they're very rare these days.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
Yeah, they are very very rare. So when we win,
I'm like, shit, we won.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
Few and far between. Jason says, I went to baseball
a baseball game once where apparently the umpire must have
plans out the game. Everything was a strike. It was
inside the ballparkersn't the strike zone. It was the quickest
and most fun game I ever saw. Shout out to
Corey Booker. That was truly amazing. Even more amazing was

(01:18:01):
it forced the media to say one good thing about
a Democrat, right, crazy, All you gotta do is break
the record of staying in twenty five hours straight with
no pee breaks, and they'll finally say, like, you know what,
I think they did a good job today. Luckily he
gave them twenty five hours to brace themselves. As we know,
when it comes to them, the exceptional becomes the expectations.

(01:18:23):
So it can wait. So I can wait to can't
wait to see what kind of American ninja warrior. Of
course the people were acquired for nomination in twenty twenty eight, right,
that's the thing he did that, And then it just
becomes how come every Democrat ain't doing it. I'm like,
I fucking hate y'all people. Yes, I legitimately don't want
to sit at y'all's table.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Take me out of the group chat. I don't like this,
don't in me to this party.

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
No, Mo, as angry as you think you are a Democrats, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
That angry at you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
Yes, I'm angry at you, and I'm holding it back
because I'm just I'm saying, let me just stay out
of these discussions because I find what they're saying so
irrational and unreasonable, and it just keeps letting everyone off
the hook. As long as you're focused on the Democrats,
the Democrats, Democrats, the country's being fucking robbed and you're
looking the other way. That's how it feels anyway, Paul,

(01:19:13):
did you find Corey books Philibuster inspiring? Eighty two percent Yes,
eighteen percent No. And I don't even blame you either
way on that, because I totally can I would say
that I found it. I don't even know what the
right word to put it, because I can't call it
inspiring because I recognize that it's a gesture and I'm

(01:19:34):
I'm so past gestures at this point. I just think
if we're not winning, if we're not in power, if
we're not able to affect legislation and change. I don't
then then I'm like, I'm proud of him in that way.
I don't want people to think I'm denigrating with it, right,
I'm very proud of what he continued. I love that

(01:19:57):
he did it. Agree, But I think the fact that
it ultimately will not it won't, it can't do the
things I would like to see done, It means less
to me. It's more like, I'm happy other people feel inspired,
and I hope they continue to do that, because my

(01:20:17):
inspiration at this point is a self fueling furnace. I
don't need. I don't need the antics. I don't need
the performative gestures. I don't need the I don't need
the theater of it. I don't need it. But some
people do. And I recognize that. And it's not Jermaine
to Corey Booker. It's the same thing when Jasmin Krackt

(01:20:40):
is doing a dance or there's a video of her
like going in on some person. I don't really need
her to do that, but some people might, and so
maybe they'll feel inspired. And if eighty percent of the
people in our community that listen to our show felt inspired,
didn't I say job well done, Corey, Like, thank you
for doing that? Because I don't need everything to be

(01:21:02):
for me.

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
Agreed, and like you say, I it took me a while,
but I had to learn that I am built differently,
and I had to learn that some people need the
theater of it all, like they need the dramatic shit,
they need the up and down, they need the nail.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Biting like like they need that in their political lives.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:21:26):
I am results oriented. What are the results? Can you
get shit done?

Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
Do we have the numbers?

Speaker 4 (01:21:34):
Like that shit means more to me than this other
shit does, Like none of that shit matters. If you
fucking lose, it does not matter. Because I want the
people in power, and I want them and I want
them to put them in a position where they can
do the shit that you claim you want, and then
you could put a mandate and then you could demand

(01:21:56):
that they do the shit, and when they don't do
the shit, you motherfucking vote them out of office.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
That's how I feel.

Speaker 4 (01:22:02):
Everything else is a waste of my goddamn time. To me,
I don't need any of it, and I understand some
people do. That's why I'm like, hey, did Their jobs
are hard because their jobs is to reach all the
voting populace.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
And not just me.

Speaker 4 (01:22:17):
So yes, do do all these things and sing and
dance and tap dance and and do all that stuff,
because I know that that satisfies some people.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
It don't satisfy me.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
All right, that's it for the comments and the polls
and stuff. Let's get to our voicemails. But first we
gotta play some music, because you know, we gotta get
this money.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Let's see, uh, pick a random one here.

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
Psych that's called good Life.

Speaker 3 (01:23:16):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:17):
All right, let's go to the voicemails.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Got two people to call Hi, Karen, hi Rod.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
This is O'Neill in Chicago. I'll keep it quick. I
know that one person asks for a reading list from you,
and then a couple of other people suggested a book
review show from you, guys. And I mean this in
the most humble way possible. I love everything about your show.

(01:23:46):
Don't change to Think, don't change to Think. But I
just wanted to suggest possibly maybe an Amazon storefront. I'm
not sure everything that goes into that, but maybe a
storefront that you can plug all the books and also
earn commission when we purchase them. I, for one, have
bought a couple of books that you and Karen have suggested,

(01:24:07):
so I thought that this might be a great way
to consolidate a reading list and also a great way
to earn commission. Love you guys, Thank you, by all.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
Right, thank you. I we'll look into that. I don't
know how it works, but well I'll get caring on it.
She'll uh look into it. We'll see what it entails.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
Yeah, and what all you have to do, because that
that right there would be interesting that way if you go.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
You can just go in like all the things that
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
Yeah, if it makes it less work anything that's not
a lot of work, I don't mind. Once it gets
to like I got to do a book club every month,
I'm not gonna keep that shit up.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
No, that's all.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
I don't. And honestly, like I read a lot of times,
a lot of times, pretty much every time I read
from my own edification, and so I have to be
very careful with entertainment versus content in my life because
it has to be a balance. I treat that when
I am making content out of entertainment. I treat that

(01:25:03):
so much differently than when I'm just watching something, Like
I know, like I listen to other podcasts and stuff,
and I appreciate them. I listen to people that cover stuff.
I don't feel like they covered as detailed as well
as we do when we do that stuff. And sometimes
I literally can take hours and hours to work on something,

(01:25:23):
so that when when we bring it to the show,
I don't want it to feel like it took hours,
but it did, and when people are listening just like,
oh wow, this is really detailed. I whenever someone suggests like, hey,
this thing with books or whatever, I'm always like, is
this gonna be like it's gonna turn into work. I'm
i gonna be reading the book and be like, let
me stop. I need to actually put this down on
my list and need to do you know. So this

(01:25:45):
sounds like a very easy haul and not a lot
of extra work. I'm already getting them off a Kendle anyway,
So I get all my books off of Amazon for
the most part anyway. So uh yeah, I think this,
if it's doable, we will look into it and we'll
bring it up on the show. All right, One more
person left voicemail. The first one looks like it might

(01:26:06):
be blank. Yeah, it's a blank voicemail, so they left
another one afterwards. Hi, Rod and Karen, It's Olivia in Japan.

Speaker 5 (01:26:15):
I don't know what's going on with Skype. Well, I mean, well,
I should start off by saying that this is probably.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
The last time I'm going to be able to call
y'all because they are.

Speaker 5 (01:26:25):
Getting rid of Skype in May, but I had called
in January. I left the message and then immediately updated
my five star review. But I must be living in
some sort of parallel, parallel universe because I don't think
y'all got either of them.

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
So hopefully you will get this.

Speaker 5 (01:26:43):
I just wanted to say thank you to you too
for giving me the giggles as I'm getting ready for work,
because I'm listening to the episode where you're all talking
about Mark Morrison and the incident that he had in Miami,
and I swear like the puns are killing me, and

(01:27:04):
every time y'all make a joke, I start singing along
like I'm sitting in in the boost with y'all, like, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
Me, one second.

Speaker 5 (01:27:24):
I hope I'll find some way to call y'all. At
some point they don't have Google Voice in Japan, but
maybe I'll have to start writing emails instead. Anyways, love
you guys, oh man, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
I didn't realize they don't have Google Voice everywhere so Skype.
Well anyway, we'll see what we can do. I don't know,
but yeah, maybe emailing that's fine. But uh yeah, we
appreciate you and yeah, thank you man all the way
from Japan. Sometimes it's just I can't believe our podcasts

(01:28:01):
got listeners that you know, are all over the place
like this, because I think Sean's in Japan too, like
I don't know, man, So cool. All right, last thing,
of course, is the actual emails. Once again, I'll play
a beat and then we'll come back from this. Here
we go, all right, keeping it simple, Jermaine says, Rod

(01:28:57):
and Karen. Has been a hot minute since I sent
you anything. I love your content is fresh and engaging,
being active duty. I've missed months worth of podcast which
is a wind from me because I can listen to
a podcasts every day for the next year and still
not run out two comments.

Speaker 4 (01:29:11):
We've been working then, I mean, I know we've been working,
but when you say it like that, I'm like, what, God.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Hell, yeah, I know I've been working, so I'll be
I know, okay, I don't need to be reminded. I
know I put it in this work. I forgot what PI.
You know, it's almost like one of us just shows up.
You know what I'm saying. They just get to say
whatever they say and then go away, and then the
other person puts everything.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
Else up because we know who the real tality is.

Speaker 5 (01:29:35):
I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:29:38):
Talent don't got to do all this. I forgot what
podcast it was, Rod, but you're a self proclaimed Day
two with Kendrick, I think, thank you for putting me
on call me a day three. I remember back in
twenty twelve, while driving the base, I was listening to podcast.
As always. You put on some song good God, the
lyrics were tight to beat was fire? I said, who
is this? I had to go through the show notes

(01:29:58):
and found out it was Spiteful by some guy named
Kendrick Lamar. I was thinking, I don't know who this
indie artist is, but I'll keep a lookout for him.
I've been I don't ever since. Thank you, my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
The Moon's spiteful chances.

Speaker 4 (01:30:10):
Now I really think that gotta be one of my
favorite songs from Kendrick, just a chorus.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
I could just sing that all day long. I love
that damn song.

Speaker 1 (01:30:20):
I'm still upset because they can't put that on any
album or streaming service because the person who they sampled
was like, nah, And I mean, look it's there, right,
it's their music. You're an artist. You should be able
to do whatever you want to. But man, I really
need to know the decision making because if I'm sitting
in a room and any part of my work is

(01:30:42):
featured in Spiteful Chant and they like, do we have
your permission? The answer is yes, because that shit is hard. Okay,
that might be the best song on that album, and
that's an album full of bangers, but that I'll never forget.
The first no. I used to be in my that's
a job I got laid off from, and I'd be
in my fucking cubicle and that fucking horn was starting

(01:31:05):
and I'm just.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
Not enough hoes and somebody us acting like house like
house like home like hous like.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
Hose Yeah, acting.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Like a hole, yeah, acting like a hole. That's my
motherfucking jam.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
Yeah. I mean he was just flowing flawlessly I'm going
then stuck my dick. Too many niggas and none anyway,
all right, Karen, just heard you talk about Starbucks on
band to the white chocolate mocha mocha is to go
to straight fire.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
It was really good.

Speaker 4 (01:31:43):
It sounded sweet, so I said, oh, that's right up
my alley. And the thing is, she was like hot
a cold. I froze cause I didn't know I was going.
I didn't know it was so many options, but I'm
glad I got hot.

Speaker 1 (01:31:54):
Also, if you like sweets, wait until the holidays and
ask for the Cranberry bliss bar. I swear they we're
gonna crack on those things. People can call me basic bro,
but the white chocolate mocha is sweet and delicious. I
gotta try that. I think I did try that. It
was good. As a kid from the three three sixth
family in the area eight two eights, two five two nine,
one oh and nine one nine. I don't know them

(01:32:17):
new codes, y'all keep doing your thing, Jay, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
I don't know them new codes either. Not live here.

Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
Down right saying bigger bubbles, Hey Rod, Hey care forgive me?
I'm behind. I fell into a deep, dark depression. With
the way the world is girl saying, but I'm pulling
out my inner rod and started getting out and exercising,
letting my inner carrying out, saying what I feel and
meaning what I feel. Yes, I love to see it anyway.

(01:32:44):
This is the first episode I listened to it in
a while. Let me tell you, I had to stop
what I was doing because I was laughing so hard.
With Bigger Bubbles, we got a lot of feedback about
Bigger Bubbles. People love this episode, like Jail Covin texted
me to be like, this is a great so and
he doesn't text me every time, so that means something.

(01:33:05):
Yeah does caring baby. I had the same experience in
the DMV. Had zero idea how to use the vision
test goggles pretty much put my nose where the eyes were.
The worst of it was it was a driver's license
renewal and I could not see I failed the test
and being there for some time, it was game over.
Turns out glasses. Who knew you could see the speed

(01:33:26):
limits sign before you passed it? I'm telling you, life changing.
Thank you for keeping us laughing. You got to the
vest done.

Speaker 4 (01:33:35):
That.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
I'm glad everybody had drugs for me, But I'm glad
it's to us.

Speaker 1 (01:33:44):
Right, I was gonna say this ain't this is bad.
It's over a moon. It's been a month, and only
one other person on the earth has experienced this ship.
That's still bad.

Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
Instructions.

Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
You have not been acquitted. You just you just got
a code offended.

Speaker 4 (01:34:03):
I know that made a corkers from the still cracking
up about me in the breakroom.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Man, I'm gonna be the drump for years.

Speaker 1 (01:34:10):
You'd had the glasses on, you would have been to
see they were nose holes. All right, let's get to
the final thing. Last email. Steph G says performative email. Hey,
y'all heard y'all talking about Corey book, and I too
thought it was great that he stood up there for

(01:34:32):
a whole damn day talking about various things pertaining to
what Trump was doing, and of course the racing the
record that racist man had for the longest philibuster. But
of course now it's oh he was a philibuster and anything.
What was the point. It's all for performative. I expected
that because of course people have something to complain about.
Since they aren't going to complain about Trump, mind you,
there's nothing to filibuster currently because Mike Johnson sent them

(01:34:53):
on break because he wasn't getting the numbers he wanted
from pubs. There's a tiny rebellion happening currently on that side.
People complain about it everything, do something, No, not that
you gave them no power? What do you expect? Laugh
my ass off, Corey Booker, Jazzon and Crockett performing it,
but not AOC or Bernie. Okay, maybe I should be
like Chapel Warone, start saying how I'm too busy to

(01:35:13):
care now after the election is done. Yeah, that's the
whitest white people news of all time. This broad pronounced
Kamala's name wrong and called her Kamalah did a whole
like what aren't you getting?

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
Had that breakdown when she wouldn't go on the shows.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
Right, and now she's I'm a pop star. Maybe we
shouldn't even be talking about politics. Oh, now that the
Republicans are in charge and your audience is on the
firing lines because most of your audience is queer, right
and support you. Now, now it's time to tap out.
Sure that sounds about white shaking my head. Never mind

(01:35:51):
that was her uncle, never mind that her uncle is
a representative in Missouri drafting anti abortion bills and anti
trans bills. Now the kitchen is too hot and it's
exhausting keeping up, Lol, I should try that. People are
still saying we should go out there and do that,
still regurgitating theory written by others who have done so much. Meanwhile,
they were behind the screen telling us not the vote.

(01:36:12):
Fuck out of here. Ps I just had a start.
I really think Bernie Sanders made his followers apathetic. He
made them think things couldn't get worse because they were
already low, made them think they had to burn everything
and that nothing was worth persevering. I think he disarmed
them from seeing Trump as as dangerous. Yeah, that's a
good point. I do think that happened to some extent.

(01:36:33):
I don't know if it's everybody I think, but I
do think there's a certain type of burning person that
went with like, how how much worse can it be?
Democrats ain't shit either, and now we're finding out it
can be a lot worse. Sorry this is long, but
nobody wants to admit they made a mistake. Thanks for reading, Steph.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
They do not.

Speaker 1 (01:36:51):
Yeah, thank you for writing. Then that's it for today's show.
We appreciate y'all. We'll be back throughout the week. Until
next time. I love you, I love you too.
