(02:48):
Wonderful to be here with both of you. Yes, it
grats on your new family as well. I realized your
your son was born in the back. Yeah, I'll be
a new dad. Yeah. Yeah, had a baby boy two
months ago. Okay, and how was uh did you have
the brists yet? How would you have the brists? Yeah,
we had the brist You typically have the brists on

(03:10):
the eighth day. We had to wait until the tenth
day because he was the borderline jaundice and like everything
has been basically cleared, so we just had to get
his levels down a little bit. And it was the
new Frontier. You know, everyone's been doing the zoom brisk
normally it's it's a big to do with all the
family and friends. You have whole lot of people. We
actually just had me, my wife, the moil, and then

(03:32):
my sister lives in New York and Esther's mother drove
up from Florida to be here for the first two weeks,
so they were just the five of us. Oh joy.
We recorded it and sent it out to some of
the family to watch, like on a YouTube link. How
many people get the brist link? Like, how big is
that invite circle? Well, we sent the link out to
probably twenty people, just because I have a huge family.

(03:54):
I mean, you definitely weren't sending it out to a
lot of people, but your family is like heavy in
the rabbinic game if I'm not. Yeah, yeah, I have
a pretty observative family. So a lot of then were
anxious to see the ceremony. Not we didn't do a
close up on the actual cutting cut of the skin. Yeah, no,
what's funny the second screen experience? No, you know what,

(04:16):
My wife, Esther actually set up the camera where like
the angle was unfortunately kind of right on it, but
she did some clever editing where like the spaways is
in the actual ceremony done, and then she did and
then she did a star swipe screen cut away on
the actual on the actual cutting that's just killing it. Yeah. Well, no,

(04:37):
we're gonna get to know a little bit more about you,
even better, even more, even deeper into who you are.
But let's just talk a little bit, give him a
preview about what's on the show docket today. I'm gonna
talk about Bill Barr, the Attorney General. You know, he's
supposed to speak to the uh you know, to Congress
on Tuesday to talk about, you know, what the fund
is going on with all these federal group goons in

(04:58):
the street. We'll talk about what, you know, just nonsense
and outright lies will be saying there. Uh. Then we'll
have to get into a little bit about what is
going on with Trump and the Republican Party, just some interest,
the desperation is there which is not sure what to
make of it quite yet. Uh. Then we'll also talk about,
you know, in honor of this gam goddess, uh, somebody

(05:19):
who finessed P P P loan um and and secured
some luxury items with that loan as well as uh,
you know, a one per center Coachella that went down
in the Hampton's because that was wild, just visual to
even look at. But first, before we get into all
of that, Noah, what's something from your search history that's
revealing about who you are? Well, the last thing I

(05:41):
searched was the definition of the word auspicious because we
were watching Indian Matchmaker if you haven't seen on Netflix
but you don't watch, and they kept on saying matches
had auspicious timing. And I think a lot of people
confuse auspicious was suspicious and think that it has a
negative connotation, but it's actually a good thing, and so

(06:02):
I thought that, But I just wanted to make sure.
So I guess that'll let you know that I like
to have my vocab correct exactly, especially there's no half
stepping with their vocab. Have you seen Uma Lacy? You
said you had already watched the entire series, right, Indian Matchmaking? Oh? Yes,
I devoured it. I still have like five to go,

(06:23):
but I'm I just I love it. What did you
think of Houston's very own part partner? That was rough Man?
But but you know what, he here's what I'll say.
After a few episodes, it became abundantly clear to me
that a partner's mom was the problem, not parner. Because
as soon as they got her mom out the way
and she met with the astrologist and she started taking

(06:46):
the matchmaker's advice to heart and just kind of doing
her own things, she definitely had a positive shift in
her attitude. And then when you can see the way
her mom would speak about the matches or even about
her own life, you could tell that she was putting
a lot of pain from her breast on a partner
and ruining the whole thing. Yeah, that's what's interesting too.
In a way, it's almost like therapy because I'm sure
for a lot of kids who have, like you know,
overbearing parents or Asian parents, immigrant parents who you know,

(07:08):
try very hard to get you to this country to
get a good life for you, then there's like this
secondary thing of like I cannot let my parents down
no matter what. And then yeah, you begin to see that, Yeah,
part of had that, but also a part of was
just like sometimes her like specifics that she wanted for
people she was hurting. She was hurting I don't want
a guy who's funny, Like why you go to make jokes?

(07:31):
When she said that, I was like, you are hurting.
You're hurting, yeah a lot, And also like, baby girl,
traveling is not a personality, like how you do Like
every five minute. She was like, I've been sup forting countries.
I've been and had nothing but bad stuff to say
about everywhere she traveled. She loved to travel, but also
hated everywhere she traveled to. Yeah, She's like, I've been

(07:52):
to Bali it Yeah, you're so right. She hated everywhere
she went, and then she would say very specific, niche
things like I can't remember. She said, you wanted to
go have you ever been to Bruges in Belgium? It's
so ghetto. She was like, I want to go see
the flamingos in this one very specific river. You don't
know about it? She was. She was horrified that someone

(08:12):
didn't know. I think about like the salt deposits in Bolivia.
So I mean that's what it was. Facts though, really though,
if you don't like, why are we even where are
you ben on this date? That's why I give them
one hour. I go to the perfect wine I go
to the perfect wine bar. They're setting up the table,
they're tearing down the restaurant. Within forty five minutes. Yeah,
that was it was an interesting watch. But I would
like lots of guards up. But you know what, that's

(08:34):
actually interesting. I might take that from her though, as
like find a spot that closes like that. Oh yeah, no.
The time that one, I was actually like, no, she's
onto something there, because if the date's going well, you
can go somewhere afterwards closing. But like, all right, well,
I guess we gotta get out here. And if it's trash,
they started turning the lights off as soon as you arrived, right,
You're like, oh damn, something's going on. Know what's something

(08:56):
that you think is overrated? Okay, this is controversial. I've
recently discovered Dr Seuss is hella overrated in having to
read children's book to my baby. Let me tell you something.
One Fish, to fish, red fish, Bluefish is trash. Trash.
I didn't listen box. No doctor has hits. He's got hits.

(09:21):
I'm not trying to take away some of his great ones.
But everyone just knows the one fish, two fish, red fish, Bluefish.
I defy anyone to read all thirty to forty pages
of that book out loud to yourself, your friends, or
your child and I'd be like, this is garbage. Wait,
there's more than just that one page that says one
fish to fish exactly. That's what I'm saying. Way, what's

(09:41):
what's the rest of it? I've never heard anything else.
Do you have a joint? Go get a joint? How
much joint? Can you? Ain't? Go? Point? It's just like
it's gibberish and lazy writing. Oh man, I'm sticking. But listen,
I'm stick. He was on a wave. He was on
a wave, you know, like he was just writing that ship.
I mean, it's going off. The kids are he was
the Shakespeare of our time. Now I'm saying he's allowed

(10:07):
to rest on his laurels of a good title. No
one's reading the entire anthology and realize that lazy. I
don't think I've every remember, even as a kid getting
tired of it, Like maybe Green Eggs and ham is
the only one I've read all the way because I
can kind of remember what it was about. Everything else,
I'm like, yo, this is just a little ship, and
he's the green Eggs and Green Eggs and Ham as bars.

(10:28):
I think I forget the title of things like The
Sneeches and the Star belly Fish or something that was, yeah,
and like, so he's got some heat. Like I'm not
I'm not saying as a whole he presents no value,
but I'm saying, overad if you look at the whole yet,
because right now you're sound a little bit like Little
Zan when he said Tupac was overrated. Those kids pressed
him at the Del Taco and Cerritos video. No but

(10:52):
all ride harder for No. But I just I just
like in the beginning of the vibe of a lazy Now, doctor, Okay,
somebody better let him know. Well you no way. I
will say this like Dr Luis was getting the coins right,
so he had the popping books. But sometimes you know,
when you're getting coins to just crank out a book
every now and then, you got to crank out some
mid at some point. I mean, there's truly a song

(11:13):
that's put on a happy Face by Destiny's Child, And
I listened to it the other day in the car
and realized that I think they just didn't write the song,
like it's like I'm breathing, I'm grateful, so put on
a happy face. They have like a good chorus, and
then everything else is like people on the beat, like
Kelly Rowland comes on, She's like, it's me. I was like,

(11:36):
where the song? And then Michelle comes out. She's like,
if thing's gonna be all right? And if the thing
is gonna be okay? And I was like, no one
wrote this song. They couldn't give Michelle that is me
lyric because no one would know who it was. Is
she okay? I feel like Kelly? I mean I always
hear about Kelly. You know Denitra is doing. Yeah, I

(11:57):
don't want everybody that's Cally. That's Michelle's real name is Tantra.
It is, Yes, they took that girl name away because
they said her name was to again names fiance Calandria
and to nature. That's a child. What is the name?
Is the only one that got to stay. Of course,

(12:19):
her name is literally a last name that her mom
would like jewished up. The last name is b and
say and then she made it Beyonce. You know what,
Tina do you know what? Tina? All right? There needs
to be a Tina Knowles name generator. You know what
I mean, Like you put your name in and then
it gets and it gets Tina Knowles afied. Uh. You
know what? Somebody somebody build that. Yeah, Solange selectives remember

(12:45):
that shampoo. Um No, what is something that you think
is underrated? Okay, here's something very u probably specific to me,
but underrated was having a child during your global pandemic.
A lot of people assume that it was going to
be horrible wound they heard that we were pregnant or
expect thing. But honestly, I have all day every day
to be home with my newborn, and I'm getting that
quality time with my baby that I never otherwise would

(13:07):
have gotten or had to fight for a paternity leave
that might not have been given to me. So this
is been the one blessing in disguise of this entire situation,
because between like working on shows or gigging on the
road and stuff. What had had this not happened, how
much time did you foresee you having with your son?
I don't. I mean I would have. I would have
because your wife is also reading as well. I would

(13:28):
I would have blocked off a few months of not
doing the road like that turned on the road. But
as far as being in the writer's room, I would
have been in there probably nine to six every day.
And so based on his hours of sleeping, I might
have got home for bathtime and putting him to bed,
but I really would not have had a lot of
great time with him. And now, honestly, understanding I have
with him, I understand what he needs and once when

(13:49):
he cries, based on the different pitches, the communication is
on point. He smiles when he sees me because he
knows me so well. It's just been a blessing. Yeah,
I know, you better take time to be a dad.
That like those ps. We were just talking about that yesterday.
Have you been Have you taken time to be a
dad today? He's taken all the time. That's not you know,
fatherhood is a scam because even though you're saying, like
fighting for paternity leave, like that shouldn't be a thing,

(14:12):
Like they're absolutely should just be praternitally for men in
this country. But we really have scammed this country into
believing that women are the only people who need to
take care of their children, who even want to the
point where it's confusing the companies like why would we
give the man time to go take care of the child?
What do you mean? No, anyway back to our fatherhood. Yeah,
that pandemic fatherhood is hitting. So if the bubonic plague

(14:34):
seems to be on the rise again, and you're in
a good relationship, maybe take off that condom and go
for it down to be there for the for the shorties.
What's like one of the first lessons you learned, like
as a dad, you know, Like I feel like I
was just even babysit, like or watching my niece over
the weekend, and I had like instant realizations about like
I think gears, you have to shift ment to lead

(14:55):
him to make this thing work, fatherhood, parenting. I mean,
I think the proof will being the pudd down the road.
But one thing I'm doing that I think will pay
dividends is I don't baby talk to him. I speak
to him in complete sentences. I speak to him as yeah,
I use I used this voice when I speak to him,
no matter what I'm talking about. And so unless I'm
reading that bullshit one fish to fish, one fish to

(15:17):
fet but no, I already I already feel like he's
gonna be very communicative and that his verbal is going
to be on point. Although I do feel like you've
been disrespecting doctor suits to your baby, which no, that's
the thing. I still I still I'm still reading the books,
right right? Uh, that is something though. Yeah, I realized

(15:38):
I think, like even my parents wouldn't baby talk like
just straight shooting, like if you had a question like
what's drugs? So like which ones? And I'm like, oh, okay,
well I'm not ready for this conversation. I will come
back when I have more specific answer. But yeah, I
think there's also the thing I learned earlier. I wish
I would have had my core more on point, because
my lower back is already on fire just from bending

(15:58):
over picking up this little fifteen pound baby be all
the time. If I had tightened up a little bit
before he arrived, I think I'd be in a slightly
better physical shape. Yeah, you can use him as a
weight now, yeah choice, Yeah pound baby squats with him
to try to get back there. You go, just start
doing some high intensity interval training with your baby, just

(16:19):
as like a new kettlebell. You know. He seems like
a quiet baby too. My sister was very collocky. We're
thirteen years apart, and she was only alive today because
of Law in Order SVU. Because there was an episode
about shaking baby syndrome, and I was like, oh, you
can't shake the baby, it'll kill it. Okay, that's the
only reason she's a lot because you were about to
shake the baby, and only because shake the hell out

(16:41):
of my sister was just scream for hours on end
about nothing to be changed. Head. Yeah, but you're saying
because you, as a child, had witnessed SVU, You're like, actually,
that's off the table. Morisco, Hearctas saved mass just like

(17:03):
because she she could scream for hours, she's got lungs
on her. And I would just be like, because like
at the time, we were staying in a hotel, I
was babysitting here every day. Our house was being built
in Texas, and so I was just like in a
hotel room with her all day and she'd just be
screaming for didn't you tell you that all the time?
Like you can just close. I'm just close a one
from a riskal heart. That's why. Because the highest paid

(17:26):
actress on TV, she's literal. Yeah, Moses is chill. He's honestly,
he eats a lot, but unless he's hungry, he's cool. Right. Finally, No,
what's a myth? What's something people think is true? You
know to be false or vice versa. Well, I don't
know that a lot of people think it's true. But
I'll say, based on stories and tweets that have been

(17:47):
servicing over the last few weeks, I would like to
attack the mythhead on that white Jews are fake Jews
that stole the identity of the original Israelites. And I'm
not even here to take away Judaism or identity from
anyone else. I'm not here to say that the original
real Likeites were white, because we all know that they weren't.
The original Israelites and Hebrews were absolutely black or brown. Um.
But I as an Oscar Nazi Jew, I'm not here

(18:07):
as a result of identity theft, right right right? I
am also truly a Jew that was more of the
result of diaspora and expulsion that led into Europe. Yeah.
I like the way that you phrase this, because do
you mean what you know? Doesn't say? No, man, you're
not gonna go to a barbershop with that top man
right peak Cotep, Cotech. We would A real Hebrew is real.

(18:31):
This is like cannon got Yeah, it's getting hot out there. Yeah,
it's really something else, girl, That's why you got your period,
like very hotels pee Cotep yeah, it's um, it's very
many interesting conversations had to be had. I know people
who work at the radio station where Nick Cannon records
the show at. I used to work there a Power
one oh six, and you know, I saw some people

(18:52):
defending him, and I'm like, what are you doing exactly,
and they're like, well, like him as a person, like
he's good to me, and I'm like, but the thing
you have to understand is what he said on his
face is just just bold anti Semitism. Like no, I'm
not I'm not even coming for Nick specifically, and not
even that I'm just right, but like all the statements
that have been coming out when it started with the

(19:13):
Shaan Jackson's reposted a fake Hitler quote, It's like, I
can't speak for every Jew, but I know I was
never bothered or offended by the idea that the original
Hebrews were black. I don't think anyone was arguing that
or upset by that. I was offended by the idea
that the identity was then stolen by white Jews who
are using the Hebrew identity to dominate the world through
a Zionis global agenda. And I'm like, now you're tin

(19:35):
foil hatchet right right right. I will say though, I
think that in polarizing times, we do start to see
like our Jewish brothers and sisters kind of come back
out of the woodwork. Because I won't lie, I do.
I have felt at times I want to articulate this
in a way that's clear and not offensive, but like

(19:56):
some minorities have been able to not be minorities at time,
whereas I've never had the privilege to do that. Um,
And so I think that some of the things that
they're saying comes from this animosity of like, oh, we're
not allowed to not ever be minorities's like, you know
what I mean. But it's articulated in a horrible way,

(20:17):
and it's very anti Semitic, and it's not even accurate,
which is why it's so embarrassing to see so many
people defending it because they I think where the real
as comes from is that and not from people stealing identities. Yeah,
I mean, I will say this, I don't think there's
any question that both racism, anti and anti Semitism exists.

(20:39):
And I also don't think there's any question that it's
more difficult to be black in America and arguably in
the world than it is to be Jewish in America. So, um,
there's a lot of layers to this discussion. I'll also
say that I think the Jewish community could have been
better over several decades of not resting on that we
march with King in the nineteen sixties, so we're always like,
there's absolutely ways that Jewish community in general could have

(21:01):
been better allies over the years and over the decades
with the black community. Not to say that there aren't
Jews or the Jewish community that has consistently been on that,
Like I would like to think that I have always
um been a good ally to the black community. But
I'm just one person. But but that is a separate
discussion from the idea that white Jews aren't Jews at all.
Like we're talking about two different things, right, There's there's

(21:23):
absolutely validity to what you were saying, And I think
frustrations boil over and then discussions bleed into each other
and things get said that have nothing to do with
each other. But the myth I'm trying to dispel, I'm
trying to admit that specifically. Yeah, and I think even
with a lot of the times where people were coming
out with those just those conspiracy theories. Uh, and then

(21:43):
when they had to realize, they're like, oh, right, what
I said is dangerous and bad. Actually I don't mean that.
Then there was a secondary effect where people like, why
are you letting these white people silence you? And then
there was like there was another level of not examining
what was being said, and like this whole thing was
being reduced to like you see what happens when you
speak the truth, when it becomes like a snake eating
its tail, where it's like, okay, you say Jews control

(22:06):
the media. Then you get in trouble by Jews or
in the in the media, and all of a sudden,
Jews look bad for calling out anti Semitism just because
they're using the media to call out anti Semitism that
was spread through it. So it's like damned if you do,
damned if you don't. Well, obviously, also, I think that
what people forget is that anti Semitism and the whispers

(22:26):
of Jewish people having control and power are literally what
sent Germany into the Holocaust. So it's like hate speech
is so dangerous and and you can't get upset with
people for silence stopping it immediately because it's killed people,
it's been so dangerous. I think you don't want to
look at it as like, oh, me saying that is

(22:47):
actually anti Semitism. I think it's like a very narrow
way to preserve your ego, to be like, what I
said is facts, and therefore what you can take from that,
I'm not gonna I'm not interested in the nuance of
what I said. That's what I said, right, And deeper
than that, I will say a lot of Jewish people
aren't even educated on Jewish history to the point where
like any time anti Semitism arises, Jewish people are always Holocaust, Holocaust, Holocaust.

(23:08):
But the truth is there's been uh anti semitism that
has hurt Jewish people based on economic anti semitism or
the rumors of trying to dominate or control things since
the beginning of European civilization, and so it's like it's
been happening for way longer than before nineteen four and
so that's where it's dangerous. There's a historical precedent going
back to the eight hundred, nine hundred, fourteen hundred where

(23:30):
Jews were expelled from countries or attempted to be genocided
over the thought that they were controlling finances or you know,
the media or resources of the time, so that that's
where it gets historically dangerous. But that being said, Uh,
it's a tough time. A lot of people are frustrated
and there's a lot of misdirected frustration and anger, and
I understand. And also just because anti blackness is pervasive,

(23:54):
so you know, I think a lot of that is
just reactionary behavior from people who understand that they're talking
about two completely different things. Um, And it's really disappointing.
Though I love that Nick Cannon apologize. I know you
weren't speaking specifically about him, but his apology felt very Sincere.
I loved it. I loved it, Honestly. It was like
I wasn't sitting around waiting for an apology from anyone,

(24:17):
but I thought that his apology was incredibly authentic Sincere
I was moved by it. I appreciated it, and uh,
and all I'll say to kind of wrap up this subject,
I don't want to dominate the show with this topic,
but I will say that one thing I've been very
outspoken for is it's incredibly important that Jewish people out there,
don't use this as an excuse not to continue to

(24:38):
support the black community and their fight for equality. I
think it's really really important now more than ever that
Jews double down on their ally ships, support Black Lives Matter,
support black causes, and continue to build that relationship as
opposed to letting this be a bridge that burns down. Absolutely.
And also, we're not a monolith. We're not all hoteps
like yeah, yeah. I Also, I also don't think the

(24:59):
things that have been at a representative of the popular
black communities thoughts. But the kind of amplified is there's
it's being said by a lot of black people who
have large platforms. Over the last few weeks, it's just
intensified with black celebrities coming out and I'm saying, it's
a wild how many like old hip hop people I've
had to put down because of that. I'm like, damn,
Pete Rock, I guess I will just reminisce over you

(25:22):
now how you are embarrassing embarrassing us. But also I
want to say, no, that's actually uh to just cap
this um. When people offend a specific group or you know, anyone,
it's never the responsibility of people who are their fans
or whoever to like accept their apology. So the fact

(25:42):
that you said you read his apology and you thought
it was sincere to me means more than me thinking
that because I wasn't the person who was offended, you
know what I mean? Yeah, see moving forward in positivity
and love. Well, yeah, I think that's what that's really
what's going on. I think it just shows how fraught

(26:02):
the whole environment is and how tense everything is. And
there's because it's palpable, I mean the but aside from
the financial, economic, and existential risks that have already existed
that are only being exacerbated by the pandemic, now they're
we're attempting to have some kind of reckoning with white
supremacy and systemic racism in the country, on top of

(26:24):
like a thing where we're like, what's gonna happen in
the election is there's gonna be some kind of total
funk fest? What what is going to happen? We just
don't know. So, yeah, it's very tense times, which is
why we all got to just take a second. Remember,
you know, I got it. We're on the same team
most of the man, most most of the time. I
would say actually mostly yeah the time unless you're in

(26:44):
that one percent. Okay, let's take a quick break and
we're gonna be right back and get into some stories.
And we're bad. And I just want to check in
with Attorney General Bill Barr funck boy in chief when

(27:05):
it comes to meddling in the American legal system to
protect the president and his allies. So, Um, you know,
he had to go to Capitol Hill Tuesday because he
has explaining to do as lawmakers wanted to know what
was going on with this federal response to protests. Um,
and I think based on now as we record this,
we haven't actually heard his remarks, but his prepared remarks

(27:28):
were released by the Justice Department, so we do have
an idea of what his testimony is going to be. Again,
they're really curious to know what is going on in
Portland and these other cities. You have people hopping out
of unmarked van, snatching people up, shooting people, blinding them,
maiming them. It just seems completely out of out of
control and actually antithetical if you're trying to establish order,

(27:51):
because all it seems to be doing is rilling people up.
More So, what is actually going on? I think most
cynical people are saying this is just propaganda. So Trump
has some visuals to be like, you see, you see
who cleans up the streets, little Donny. But this is
what an idea of what he's going to say. Based
on his prepared remarks um that bar will do decries
the violence taking place in Portland in other cities, claiming

(28:12):
that they are disconnected from the death of George Floyd,
which he described, quote as a horrible event. Um. He
then simultaneously undermines the message of racial justice demanded by
protesters in written remarks by saying that although Floyd's death
was a quote shocking event end quote, the police killing, um,
the police killing of, as he puts it, quote unarmed

(28:33):
black men is quote fortunately quite rare end quote. That's
what we're just lying now. We just we just we're
not even gonna try to do facts no more. That's
just so next level. That's some next level bullshit. Yet fortunately,
the killing of unarmed black men is fortunately quite rare.

(28:54):
There it never happens. There's not just an inexhaustible list
of victims of police violence. Okay. And then as he
goes on that, he goes on to rebuke the demonization
of police and suggest that crime rates increase when communities
quote turn on their police because that makes police more
quote risk averse and crime rates sore. So not only

(29:18):
so let's just I guess take it apart piece by piece. First,
he's going to say that the protesters are disconnected from
the death of George Floyd. That is complete nonsense. I mean,
maybe you can say, very specifically, are they there exactly
for George Floyd and actually not to hold their own
police department accountable for the untold atrocities that they've committed.
I think either one, But it's still the sentiment is

(29:39):
still the same, that people are there for justice, racial justice, right,
they're playing semantics, they're there for the social cause that
led to things like George Floyd's death happening, even if
they're not they're directly protesting George Floyd exactly. Then I
guess that's one way to again delegitimize what's happening, uh
and then saying that yeah, that this that it's even

(30:00):
if it's shocking, that it's a rare event, that is
a that's just completely disingenuous. I think there's plenty uh
of information out there that would say otherwise. Um, but yeah,
this is kind of what is being done to a
I think for people who just watch at home, it
might not be as connected to the issues that are
going on, and they see his words, they might think

(30:22):
that because the way he's going to put it is
that they're anarchists and outside the agitators who are actually
doing this, rather than trying to actually let people know
that the situation is so bad that these people have
been in the streets for fifties sixty plus days, uh,
protesting because they know that there is a terrible, terrible

(30:43):
problem in this country and that's what they're trying to
avoid with this kind of ship. And just to illustrate
this with numbers, let's just pick one city, New York City, right, Um,
black people of the shooting victims are black in New
York City, and black people only make up the population.
So the fact that he even tried to say that

(31:05):
we don't have a problem, like I'm just so tired
of being gas lit by racists, Like we all know
what's happening here. And the thing that really is infuriating
about Trump is is that racists and evil asked white
people used to at least try to tell the truth
or some sort of the simbilance of the truth. But
now it's just like everyone is fully willing to go

(31:25):
to court or go anywhere and just make things up.
It's like you don't even have to prepare because you're
gonna sit down and just make things up. Donald Trump
lies so much that we literally have so many fat
checkers who can't even keep up. And I think, you know,
this is the thing. It's they have to try and
scare people out of this idea that we need reform

(31:47):
within our legal system and our law enforcement. That's the
that's the biggest thing, because the more that this just
becomes about what's the federal government doing, the less we're
talking about we actually really really need to sit down
and think about how we're spending our money, how we're
policing neighborhoods, how we're just describing poverty as crime rather
than calling poverty poverty and saying we need to address

(32:10):
poverty or lack of access, rather than just saying it's
criminal and that's why I need police. And hey, watch
out because look, if you're if you're black and brown,
people get too upset about how they're brutalized and they
start protesting. That's going to make police, you know, upset,
and then you know they might not actually want to
help anybody, and then so you know, the crime rates
are going to go up. It's just really it's it's
all language politics. And it's been that way since the

(32:31):
idea of defund the police started kind of trending as
popular because they were they knew, damn well, the defund
the police meant reallocating the money that was going to
police to use other social platforms or social services to
help in other ways. But they were painting it as
just a picture of take money away, get rid of
the police, and then there will be no one to help,
right And they know exactly what they're doing. They're just

(32:53):
playing with the language of it to scare people who
aren't going to do the research or don't know any better.
It happens in every community the same we talked about this,
We talked about this yesterday. America is built on slavery,
and frankly, it doesn't work without slavery. I mean, we've
seen during this pandemic how our economy has fallen apart
because everything is people being paid slave wages or the

(33:15):
police helping to incarceorate black and brown people so that
they can work for basically free like and it just
the society in these people's minds doesn't function without exploiting
black and bound bodies. So they're gonna try to fight
as hard as they can for the police because they
use the police to jerrymander. So I mean, they use
prisons to jerrymander so that they can, you know, equate

(33:37):
like more power in cities that are heavily white ring
and Republican like, they use the police to incarcerate black
and brown folks so that they can work for nothing.
It's just it's so exhausting because they know exactly what
they're doing, and at least they used to hide it better.
It's ask you this, would you prefer they hit it?

(33:57):
Like it's discussing in either way, but would you rather
be out in the open or hidden? I mean, that's
that's the gag, isn't it? Because party is like, which
form of racism? Do I pray? I mean, it's it's
Sophie's choice. It's too horrible choice. Do I have to choose?
You shouldn't have to choose between. But I guess if
the question is would you rather be hidden or out
on the front or at least a few people can

(34:19):
wake up to what's happening, which is I mean, I
think the the lazy version to say I prefer when
they didn't do it, But I think deep down it's
it's better when people are just out with it because
you can be like, okay, miss me with that ship.
And also like if you say it with your chest
is an order of say it with your chest. I
can bring that to your doorstep. But the thing, you know, yeah,

(34:41):
one order, I'll have three smokes please for my daughter
and my wife anybody else, but anyone else, like a
smoke and a refill on the smoke. Okay, just making
sure I got a lot of tables today. I got
a lot of tables. Um, you know. The I think
because also because of a lot of the influence of
like overt white supremacy, that that it's it's sort of

(35:02):
waning or the symbols are going down. It's inspiring more
people to get more aggressive with it because they realized
it's a guy keep saying it's like the fourth quarter
right now, It's like, okay, you you can't just be
in your house thinking that the other races are going
to do it. If you also are down for this
like white supremacist utopia, then you gotta go out there
too with your stars and bars. And that's kind of
what you're seeing now, Like they're the counter protests are
getting like a little more coordinated than they were before

(35:25):
when it was just all BLM marches and things like that.
You're starting to see that again. They're just there are
white people who are also invested in a version of
this country where it's it's business as usual from like
about the forties and like, let's stop progress around there, right.
I mean, that's that old joke that we used to
a lot of comedians have said where we've been. I
don't know if you guys have been in this position,

(35:47):
but I have definitely been a position where I was
talking to white people and they were like, if there
was a time period that you could go back to,
like what would be your vibe? Like I would definitely
go to the twenties, like nineties, And it's like base,
I wouldn't go to no pass I'm trying to the
future is bad for me here, Conda. Can I go
to the Marvel? Can I go to the Marvel cinematic universe. Right.
But that's why Make America Great Again was such a

(36:09):
excellent brand AI because it was like, we're gonna put
all the browns back in their places. Guys were put
the browns in their places, the Jews, the gays, the disabled.
We're gonna suppress everyone like we used to. Well, I mean,
now you understand why Madman was such a popular show. Right,
So many white families could just watch it and realize
how it used to be. Remember back in the day,

(36:32):
we could get drunk at work and harass our secretary.
Why don't you wear an apron, honey? So you know
the other thing, let's just talk a little bit about Trump.
One stupid petty lie that came out is, you know
Dr Fauci throughout the pitch for the Nationals, and that
apparently set off a wave of conspiracies. I've even heard
from inside knowledge that just que and on people even

(36:52):
getting swept up the man on the receiving end of
Dr Fauci's pitch, that it was all like a whole
thing was some kind of conspiracy whatever. But people were like,
I think, obviously he's been somewhat of a positive figure
throughout this pandemic, and Trump could not stand any of
that ship. And he was basically saying, like, you know, well,

(37:12):
i't me to be throwing out the first pitch at
Yankee Stadium. Um, you know, he said. He was like,
he's really good friends with, you know, the team over
the Yankees, and he had been offered, you know, in
the past, to open out the throw the opening pitch
and this. So he went out there and really said
He's like, yeah, so I'm gonna be throwing it out.
No one knew this, The Yankees didn't even know this,

(37:33):
so like, what are you talking about? His aids had
to like scramble to try and be like, yes, so
the President wants to throw out the first pitch and
they're like what. Then like over the like a couple
of days later, Trump is like, because of my strong
focus on the China virus, including scheduled meetings on vaccines,
our economy, and much else, I won't be able to
be in New York to throw out the opening pitch
for the Yankees on August. So even so, first of all,

(37:55):
even in recovering from his lie, he had to get
racist with it. Like the first line of his excuse
for not going. Ye, this is also a girl. You
don't even go here, you're not invited. That's just like
this year I turned down miammy nomination. I definitely got
one today. Like I want somebody else to get some shine,

(38:18):
somebody else to get some emmies. You are such a
kind goddess. What would we do without your kindness? But yeah,
it's it is a weird. It definitely has that whole
it's so juvenile, that kind of line, like I haven't
seen that since like high school, of that kind of
thing where it's like it's like and also it's the
kind of lies that you should be the plot of,
like a teen sitcom in the night. I forget which

(38:39):
sporting event it was last year. It might have been
the World Series where they showed Trump and he got
booed heavily. And I think there's also a chance that
maybe the Yankees might have been even trying to work
it out with him, and then his team is like,
by the way, yeah, they're gonna boo the ship out
of you. I guess people wouldn't have been there. There's
no crowd, right, so they would still I think find
a way for the speakers boom. We would bring some

(39:03):
booze in, okay, even if we have to use them
like stock stock booms, stock booms. But I mean, the
man's the man's ego knows no limits. And it's getting
bad because you know, we all know people whose egos
have gotten in the way of them succeeding, or actually
their egos have actually made their problems worse for them

(39:23):
because of an inability to let go of this very
like self centered I must protect my perception people have
of me, because that's more important than what I experience
is on the experience on the inside is human being
dot dot dot whatever um. And it's getting to the
point where you can start to see how far he's
going like it every day. It's some kind of escalation
on things that we never thought we would be talking about,

(39:45):
but here we are. And I think there's no way
for us to cease to be surprised by anything we're seeing.
Like I think we always have to steal ourselves to
be like it's going to I can't I can't imagine
dialing it back. Yeah, Like that's what it's It's unfortunate
to already be mentally preparing for this or even for
government or the armed forces to put a plan in place.
But there's zero percent chance this man honors the election

(40:06):
results if he doesn't win. It's that the only other way, right,
because I know people who are like big time ego
ago people who will never take an l publicly. They
do the thing, they quit, they rage quitter. So that's
it's in the it's in the it's in the wheelhouse,
it's in the quiver of that kind of person. But

(40:27):
I just don't know what this, Like, that's such a
big l to take publicly like that, Like it'll be
hard to spend that in your own mind. Like you
can do that with the homies because you can just
smash the xbox and run out the room, But with
this will be like, yeah, I'm actually quitting because like
the haters, and then you just go back to like
what New York and then deal with all these lawsuits.
I don't know. I'm I'm of two minds. One mind

(40:49):
is is that if Donald Trump does win again, I'm
going to buy a house because the market is going
to plumb it um. It's that could be great for me.
This is Lacey Mosley's twin twenty one financial playbook, listening.
I'll get with these scamps, get on red finning, get
your eye on some houses, and then out your eye
on some damn houses. If Donald Trump is president again,

(41:12):
y'all go buy a house, okay, because market's gonna plummet um.
But at the same time, I just want It's probably
very fun, honestly, to work as one of Donald Trump's
staffers because he's just constantly saying crazy ship. So your
whole day is just spin, spin, spin. It's like being
on Scandal. In real life. It's like you're Olivia Pope.

(41:34):
They're all wearing big purses and big white coats and
white hats and no redine because no red wine. She
loves that one. Um. You don't need to drink when
you have that at all. He's on math. He's on
that ship allergy medication. Man, he loves it. He's loving it. Um.
So the thing because of his you know, he's impetuous,

(41:56):
he's impulsive, he has no discipline, he's drive, he's com
you know, guided by his ego. Uh. You know, the
GOP is continuing to semi privately panic over how bad
like the president is just doing and just at running
for office like he's not even doing the good thing
about politicking, which is sort of like, yeah, like I
get that I can't just win with the people that
like are my ride or dies, like, I gotta trick

(42:18):
a couple of people to go out with me. So
I'll say what I gotta say. I'll compliment you on
your what you're wearing on, like on your house, on
your yard, and maybe you'll you'll consider voting for me.
This man is not doing any of that, Like he's
not even doing the like the bear sort of minimum.
He's just being like, fuck it. Maybe if I just
get the you know, his like his hardcore base to
come out, that's how he's gonna win. And you know,

(42:41):
he forgets that in sixteen, like he he was able
to court some you know, blue collar Obama voters. That
was right exactly, That's what he was Pennsylvania read and
Pennsylvania was blue for Obama. He turned it absolutely, And
I think so because of that, I think he's his
ego is saying like, look at me, I'm the gut

(43:02):
m C. They nobody wants to step to this, and
so he's not has no sort of um reasonable way
of looking at his re election chances and when they
show him polls, he says they're bullshit, they're fake. He
goes and like end in one tweet, will attack the
Reagan family, Fox News and Paul Ryan, like these are
like establishment Republican people. You have to remember, Like, yes,

(43:24):
there are conservatives and then there are like the full
on trumpeists who are like, no matter how hard he
hits the gas on white supremacy, like there, they will
not let go of the vehicle. They're like, no, we're
we want we want to hit the wall with you
like this is we're in. But a lot of people
you do end up like you know, flinging a few
people off the car because you're going a little bit
too fast for them. And that's the thing that a

(43:45):
lot of UM consultants are worried about. It's like, you
don't want to deflate those voters either. You need them
energized because that we're looking at a really bad situation. UM.
And well, here's why I think Trump might be onto something.
I think that the reason he isn't courting voters who
are probably on the fence with him right now is

(44:06):
because he's counting on the lack of enthusiasm coming from
Democrats when our candidate is someone that most of us
are not excited about. We truly think that he's see Nile.
We're voting begrudging lee because I told you, guys, Leg,
that's why I'm voting for Joe Biden. He said, I
want to we should shoot folks in the in the

(44:27):
leg and not the heart. And I said, I guess
I gotta vote for the leg because Trump is the heart.
So Leg is okay, I'm making merge. We gotta get excited.
I'm gonna get you some anklets so you can walk
to pols. But I think he's counting on that lack
of enthusiasm to help him kind of even the playing field.
And I don't, guys, I know a lot of liberals

(44:47):
listen to this podcast, y'all. We gotta somehow check ourselves
and to be excited, like to be like excited about
this because every time the Democrats have had a character
Why do I keep saying character, Jesus Christ, because he
I'm like, every time we've had a candidate that we
weren't excited about. Think about John Kerry when we want
to bush out of office and we were voting for

(45:08):
Hans catch up like we hated him. Like anytime we've
had a candidate that we're not like jizzing over, we
lose because Democrats are all about feeling and sensationalism, and
it's like, right now we have to be about survival.
That gets to get us inside it. I mean, the
only difference is I think Trump's done a hell of
a job to despite their being very low enthusiasm for

(45:28):
the candidate, there is high enthusiasm for him to be
out of office, and I think it's it'll be interesting
how those are reconciled and how that turns out, because
one thing that I worry about is more than even
the lack of enthusiasm. I even though there's low numbers
for the candidate, enthusiasm, I know how a lot of
people are also just feel about what this election means.

(45:49):
Not to say that that's the entire voting population, but
despite that enthusiasm, I think and the disapproval that people
have for this presidency is that all these polls that
the media keeps showing people, I think it's going to
have the effect of making people complacent on top of
being like not enthusiastically like, well shit enough people give
a funk to vote this guy out. I mean he's
getting he's losing by double losing by double digits in

(46:12):
Texas or in Florida or whatever the state is. That
at the day that everyone's like going like, oh, just
you better watch out Trump. No, no, no, fucking no, don't.
We're not saying it's the fourth quarter for everybody. Everybody's
got to pull the front. We all got to get
the fun in the game, like we all have to
be doing this and that that's why I'm saying it,

(46:33):
like they're already laying the groundwork to contest it based
on if there's a second wave of the coronavirus or
if they do that bullshit where they shut down a
lot of polling places in typical Democratic or minority strongholds,
then there's less people voting in person or less people
willing to wait in the cold with the global pandemic
going on for six seven hours to vote, and they're

(46:55):
gonna want to mail in their votes, and then they're
gonna say Trump won the in person vote and he
only us because of the fraudlent mail in votes, and
they're they're laying the groundword for that bull It's a lot,
but I think that's why it's important to not think
there's no way you can take it for granted. Yes,
he's objectively the worst president that most people have seen
with their two eyes in their lifetime, but that doesn't

(47:17):
mean that everybody knows that they have to go and vote.
It's just more like it's just more like your brand
is weak. That doesn't That's not necessarily mean that's what
the vote, the voting results are gonna look like. That's
just saying right now, the Biden brand is stronger than
the Trump brand in those states. That does not mean
people get that. Despite that, you still have to drag
every motherfucker you know the polls and make sure they

(47:39):
everyone you know who's eighteen year old or needs to
be voting. Also, I just want to point this out
to liberals who listened to this podcast and millennials because
we used to be on Twitter. Remember we were on
Twitter during the primaries like I'm not a Bernie bro
or I love Warren or these were our candidates. Right.
I went back home to Texas and my black ass
parents who are like my dad's in the sixties, my

(48:01):
mom's fifty had a goddamn Mike Bloomberg side in my
yard and took that ship out so fast. Your parents
are your parents are rich? Risch Huh, That's all I know.
They do, got some corn embarrassing talked to them, and

(48:26):
they told me that they didn't trust older white folks
to vote for someone who was so liberal, so they
were never going to vote for Warren. They were never
going to vote for Biden. But we thought on the
internet that we were having the conversation that mattered when
all the people who were being quiet were the ones
who changed the vote. But I Biden wasn't even campaigning
at the end. We he just kind of showed up

(48:47):
out of nowhere and was like, here I am, uncle Joe,
where did you come from? Emerged from a bush. The
one thing that is also just I just want to
point to the sort of level of desperation. I mean,
the lot of the senators, especially you know, Susan Collins,
Martha McSally, there's a few people who were like in
just it just looks like there's no coming back for

(49:09):
some of these Republican women in the Senate and just
in general. Like the fundraising, like you know it ebbs
and flows, but the wording of some of the texts
from UM the National Republican Congressional Committee like they're you know,
the fund, like they get the campaigns together, raise the
money and identify candidates, etcetera. This is like one of
the texts they've been sending to Perspective donors has read

(49:31):
like this. Okay, it says the election is in one
hundred days. There's no time to waste help now, or
Schumer will take control of the Senate chip in one
hundred dollars for one hundred days. Okay, that's fine. That's
kind of a little bit, like all right, a little bit,
But how about this next one? This came this. Someone
just took a screen grab of their phone. That first
one came like like four These texts came forty eight

(49:53):
minutes apart. Then next one says, we texted you twice.
Why did you let your five pent Trump House Patriot
It match expire again? We'll give you one more chance
match for one hour, Like the GP drum texting, Yeah,
that was gonna say. That's that's like a thirst DM
that goes from like hey, beautiful to you're not even

(50:14):
that fine anyway, bit ship. It's definitely like a lot
of people are pointing to that and the way it
sort of fell apart. There's this conservative pundit named Kurt Schlichter.
He like he called the tweet out. He's a Republican.
He was like, what's going on with the n RCCs,
Like this is so desperate. It just looks so weird.

(50:36):
It it talks down to people who would donate. This
is all wrong. Then the nrccs twitter account responded with
a gift offering him a hug. And then one of
the people who like runs that, like who's affiliated with them,
like also like was getting sloppy in the replies. Then
the NRCC twitter like quote tweeted him and referred to
him as a Karen. They're like, oh, I guess he

(50:57):
wants to speak to the manager of this like social
media campaign. Then Tucker Carlson waded into the fight and
then he quote tweeted the NRCC tweet and said, why
is the NRCC using ethnic slurs? Hilarious? I mean, it's
just nonsense. It's just nonsense. They don't they'll they'll call
Karen an ethnic snurve before they'll call the China virus

(51:19):
an ethnic slur. Right, it is like definitely a slur.
But you know, Karen is an ethnicity. Okay, so it
is an ethnicity. But also I'm so tired of Like
we talked about this yesterday. I was like, white people,
stop bothering us. If you if you hate us, stop
bothering us, Like we say Karen in our in our
own homes and in our own lives. Like we didn't
tell you to join We didn't ask you to join

(51:41):
us with this, We weren't like, hey, racist white people,
why don't you start using off slogans and phrases like
get out of here. The r n c C is
trying to take back the power of the world, exactly
reclaiming it, you know what I mean. They are reclaiming Karen,
and they're gonna start saying kerry and take the end
off the end. Yeah, you did it with a hard

(52:02):
h you see, like Laura Ingram and Cornell West having
like epic debates over please God, I can't, I can't
What if I said West? What if I said that end?
I always smack you pathetic version of the matrix. Yeah,

(52:22):
and really, like everyone, the joke continues like everything is
just bad writing, Like everything just feels like a bad
rejected you know, like a pitched bit from a writer's
room of like a show that no one wanted to watch. No,
you'r stand up? How has comedy been like on tour before?
Obviously COVID like with everything that's happening politically, Like how

(52:46):
I mean, it's it depends on what kind of comedity
you are, because like I'm not a political comedian and
so it didn't really affect my vibe in the room
or like my shows. But I will say that when
Trump wanting two thousand sixteen, I wasn't surprised as most
people because I had been doing so much comedy on
the road and tour in the Midwest and the South
in the middle of the like I saw Trump enthusiasm

(53:10):
and Trump support where a lot of people that live
on coastal cities were kind of blind to it, right.
But yeah, But like I will say, as a comedian
during the Trump presidency, I just got Trump fatigue, and like,
even though I was never a political comedian, I wouldn't
talk about Trump on stage anyway, just because I was
so sick of hearing about him, so talking about him
that I wanted to give myself and any audience that

(53:30):
came to see me a respite from even hearing the
name Trump for fifteen minutes of my set, right, M Yeah,
I mean it's a we all have to find waste,
especially like when it comes into your work or your craft,
you know what I mean, Like in some way it's
like you don't want to taint that with it being
by centering it around something that's just so chaotic, rather
than like using it as a way to express yourself. Right,

(53:52):
And for me, it wasn't Like for me, it wasn't
about avoiding politics because I didn't want to immediately alienate
half my audience, like I didn't give a funk about
hurting those feelings or like you know, I just like
that's just not what I talked about. So there's no
reason to start talking about it now. Can you? Can
you imagine some some comedians come out of quarantine and
sudding they're doing like some new like woke set Woke.

(54:12):
That's one happened. I mean, you saw that happening. Stand
up is. I have nothing against political comedy, but if
that's what you do, do it well. And if that's
what you do, then let the people who do it
well do it. But you saw so many comedians who
aren't political comedians try to become political comedians, and then
all of a sudden, they just had no jokes in
their act. They just went up and yelled and complained

(54:33):
for their entire set. Yeah, and that's what we called
the Daily's like geist. All right, So let's take a
quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back
and um, just quickly, there's a couple of things going

(54:55):
on in show biz. Ellen DeGeneres Uh. It looks like
they're is a investigation internal investigation from Warner Brothers UH
and a third party company that are looking into the
workplace culture, racism, toxicity rumors that have just basically been
blowing out of l A since forever. Um and you know, BuzzFeed,

(55:18):
you know, they had a story to come out. I
think last week I was talking about all kinds of stuff,
you know, talking about the especially from black employees, the
racist behavior, microaggressions. There was jokes about mistaking two black
female employees with the same hairstyle. There was things about, uh,
someone who was having a mental health issue and like
the company was completely just unsympathetic to them. On top

(55:40):
of like when you know, when the quarantine happened, a
lot of the people who used to work on the
show did not hear from their employer for a long
time in the midst of this pandemic and then found
out like another company was just sort of like doing
a little bit of production on the side. Just been
a lot going on that I think on top of
again sort of like the open item or whatever you

(56:01):
call it, is known item newspiece that has just been
sort of the anecdotal stories in this city or in
just in the industry about her. So what's also interesting
is that they talk about two executive producers like in
this article and some of the executive producers released his
statement to BuzzFeed, and this is what they're saying, you know,
about what was going I said quote, we are truly
heartbroken and sorry to learn that even one person in

(56:22):
our production family has had a negative experience. It's not
who we are, and not who we strive to be,
and not the mission Ellen has set for us. For
the record, the day to day responsibility of the Ellen
Show is completely on us. We take all of this
very seriously, and we realize, as many in the world
are learning, that we need to do better, are committed
to do better, and we will do better, yo, can

(56:43):
I Okay, I've never done this before because I'm scared
of Ellen, but I am going to tell you, guys
to anecdotal stories that I've heard from people that I
trust that I like. Don't think I'll say allegedly, but
we'll say allegedly, you know, for these are stories allegedly
allegedly stories allegedly so allegedly um during Christmas, Ellen allegedly

(57:10):
would go into her staff writer's room and give everyone
a present, but the presents weren't the same in value,
Like the top present was allegedly you get your house
redecorated and Ellen pays for it, like that's like you're
the best. And then allegedly the worst gift was a
Starbucks gift card. And if you got the worst gift,

(57:33):
allegedly you also got a lecture about why you are
last place and how you can improve, you're gonna ross right,
just so like this is like you just have fun

(57:55):
being have fun being chaotic evil if you're doing it
like that, because it's like this is some people are
toxic be cause they have short tempers or because they
don't respect people. But to have a whole crash thing
like that it's a little statistic. And then also allegedly,
I know a musician allegedly he may or may not

(58:15):
exist hypothetically, and he allegedly hypothetically wrote music for Ellen
and allegedly, hypothetically, maybe this never happened. Um, he wrote
for her during several stand up specials. She took the music,
never paid him for it. Did you go without a contract?

(58:38):
Like just off the strength trust in that? I don't
think so. I mean, obviously if there was a contract,
it wasn't that was iron clad allegedly allegedly. But yeah,
it's crazy because in l A especially, people have secretly
known about Ellen for forever. But she's so powerful that
if they get the floodgate to open, if they get

(58:59):
one person to talk, it's going to be a ship show.
It's like Liam Michelle. I had heard about Liam Michelle
for years from people who worked very closely with her,
who were like, she's evil, and then as soon as
one black person had the gumption to say something when
she did a faux Black Lives Matter post, the floodgates open.
So I'm just like, but we don't want Ellen's floodgates

(59:19):
opening because who Chad? It is gonna be less important,
but nice use of gumption words. Okay, Lastly, I just
want to talk because you know this this deals with
your your region of the globe. NOA and also Lacy,
a place you have a lot of experience, the Hampton's,

(59:42):
New York, the Northeast. Uh not say you're from the Hamptons,
but I feel like New Yorkers much more familiar with
the Hampton's. I've lived there. I've lived I know you
said you've You've done a little of You've worked some events,
you had to live out there, you have experiences with
the clientele. Uh. The one time I have I've ever
been to the Hamptons it was a wedding for one
of my dad's college friends, and he was his wife

(01:00:05):
was the daughter of an investment banker. And to this day,
I have never been in such physical proximity to that
kind of wealth and opulence in my entire life. I
could not believe what I was seeing, and it got me.
They had They were serving my seventeen year old as
like full mugs a gray goose, and I was like,
you know what, thank you Wall Street. One day I
would like to be like this too. And therefore I

(01:00:26):
will fight to protect your wealth and make sure you
do not pay one cent in taxes. Because I like
what I'm seeing here, y'all, how quickly you got turned out?
Oh yeah, just boom, just boom boom. I'm in the room.
Um So in South Hampton is that is Southampton and
nice Hampton. South Hampton's is expensive, It's got real estate, celebrities.

(01:00:46):
It's like a very of the Hamptons, like East Hampton's
like the old people montak is the really really young
people in the locals. But also there's like fun bars
and restaurants there. Thank you. Yeah, I'm like she also
sounds it's like house hunters like Boogie Edition. We're like,
you guys are gonna love Southampton. Um like no one
Miles or two comedians. Uh, interracial couple, just looking to

(01:01:08):
put roots down in the northeast. Um So this whole thing.
So they it makes sense now that you're saying it's
the nice part because opening for the chain Smokers is
d J. D. Saul or as you know him, CEO
of Golden Sacks, David Solomon. Yes, he was opening for
them and also one of this this town supervisor Southampton,

(01:01:31):
J Schneiderman was also an opener. Now, these tickets were
very expensive. Like the whole idea was it was going
to be socially distanced. You could drive in. It was
like a driving concert. Some tickets were going There were
between twelve fifty and twenty five thousand dollars okay for
No Kid Hungry Children's Medical Fund of New York. There

(01:01:51):
was like supposed to be this fun thing, but then
you just ship just got out of hand. Even though
they tried. They said, look, we've got all these c
d C things they that people are going to fill
out like a COVID survey. They'll get a face mask,
I have a temperature taken, and they have like there's
hand sanitizing stations. But the deal was nobody stayed in
their car. It turned into like a straight up concert

(01:02:12):
with like a ton of people just gathering around. Is
on the ones. Yeah, when Deesel is just fucking on
the wheels and steel. I mean you already know these
Although there's no group that you can get together that's
going to be more dangerous when it comes to a
pandemic than rich people. They're the most entitled, selfish people.

(01:02:32):
So they're not going to do any because like you
wear a mask to protect other people. They ain't gonna
do that. They're like they're rich to they're not sick.
That's for poor people. That's when I think also too,
at a certain point, you do, life shows you to
your face that money can actually solve a multitude of
problems for you very quickly. So there's no in a way,

(01:02:53):
I'm like, I get it. Yeah too. If I grew
up like that and my parents never taught me the
value of work and what money was, I'd be like, yeah, like,
get you're rich, you can go to the door. Like,
if you don't like your body, you can go to
the doctor. If you don't like a car, you buy
a new one if you don't. So if you do
a murderer, you just call a guy, Yeah, your dad,
just like your dad just like blackmails the chief of police.

(01:03:14):
Yeah right, yeah exactly. And then you get to like
just kind of, you know, blow some steam off in
a lovely spa in Iceland. So the thing that you know,
when New York State officials, including Governor Cuomo and like
the you know, uh, the Health Commissioner of New York
saw this, they were aghast. You know, they just could
not believe what the funk they were seeing? The Health

(01:03:36):
Commission said, I'm at a loss as to how the
town of Southampton could have issued such a permit for
an event, how they believed it was legal and not
an obvious public health threat. So again, I remember I
told you the man who is the town supervisor, J. Schneiderman,
he was opening, he was participating in it, and he
also had to respond because when he so, he tried

(01:03:58):
to defend himself by saying, we believe the conditions of
the permit were violated. No ship. And then he goes
on to say the organizer was supposed to make sure
that people stayed in their square. They didn't have enough security.
I had questions. I had conversations with the organizers making
sure they were going to enforce the rules. It's unfortunate
that they allowed this to happen. Excuse you, sir, You

(01:04:19):
are a city official who probably had a hand and
even okaying this permit. I just also want to say
he goes on to defend himself. Um, when they were
talking about like, yo, but your band played there, What
the funk are you talking about? He said that when
his band performed. Okay, Well, I was on stage. Motherfucker's
were following the rules, he said. Quote. I stayed for
a while, and when I became aware of the v

(01:04:40):
I P area, I told the two security guards from
the organizers to stop. Um, so you have to come
to the car right now. That's what I said to
one of the guys in my band. We have to leave,
he said, after we finished our stay, after we get set, Yeah,
let me take a few pictures backstage, then we gotta go.
Once I hear somebody just shook a few fans sucking
blow and then I left. But this whole thing, like

(01:05:03):
it's just everybody, like even the people in the municipality
are involved in fucking up. But oh boy, one per
center Coachella. You'd love to see it, but you know,
like your boss pressures you to come to an event
that they're doing in their personal life. These golden Golden
Sacks employees that were like, oh, by the way, you

(01:05:24):
gotta drop grand on a ticket on DJ and this weekend.
Can you imagine like the twenty four year old traders
at the Trading Desert bonuses to go see DJ D Saul.
They're like, Also, I fully blamed COVID because this guy
was probably like, fuck it, I gotta seize the day
and become a DJ because it is probably his first

(01:05:46):
DJing event. That's how fucking Ritchie is. He's like, I
don't know, I'll open for the chains workers. I'll make
it happen, right. He's like, I got dead Mouse to
give me lessons. I paid him in cocaine. They's just like, wow,
bless the mom shows you really again, this is why
we aspire to protect the wealth of billionaires, so that
we may one day completely act recklessly and foolishly in

(01:06:07):
the midst of a pandemic. Uh, and then put people
who actually had to work to survive at risk with
our recklessness. It's all just a vicious cycle. You hate
to see it, or maybe you do either way, Noah,
it's been fantastic having you on the show today. Thank
you for stopping by. Man. I always always love hearing
from you, always get to talk to you. Um, what
is you know? Let people know where they can find you,

(01:06:28):
follow you, you know, listen to some of your comedy
and let let us know a tweet that you've been liking. UH,
so they can follow me at my website Noah g
Comedy or on Instagram at Noah G Comedy they cannot
follow me on Twitter, and I do not have a
tweet that I like because I got off Twitter two
weeks ago and I feel so much better and happier
and healthier for it. Twitter, you got off the island.

(01:06:52):
But I do know that the daily Slight Guys listeners
are active on Twitter. They used to show a little
bit of love and a lot of hate after every
time when I came, and so they can come and
DM me on Instagram anytime. At Noah G Comedy Boom, Yeah,
it's true. I'm like I've I've slowly and slowly used
it less and less and less. I just I can't

(01:07:13):
I realize how much it affects my mental well being
being on there more than like it used to. It
used to be fun, and now I'm like, you know what,
I don't need to inform myself like the stuff that like,
because granted, there are things that happened on Twitter that
a lot of the mainstream media won't get covered. But
I have other ways of interacting with those stories that
get that I don't have to log into Twitter and

(01:07:34):
then go down a rabbit hole of watching you know,
Karen's going off down in Australia. I see he's like
gang down. They ain't been saying to me a few
links of Aussy Karen's. They're pretty intense. They're so fucking it.
I mean, we just need a Karen Olympics. You do
a really good Australian accent. I watched I watched a
lot of TV by myself as a child and with

(01:07:57):
like the dial in accents as a way to entertain myself.
Uh Lacy, Hello, Yes, where can people find you? Follow you,
listen to you, support you, and even tell people put
people onto a tweet that you like. Guys, you can
follow me as always a d I V A l
A cideva Lacey on all platforms. And if you like scams, robberies,

(01:08:17):
kans frauds, you can listen to my podcast Scam goddess Um.
And then a tweet that I have been liking. So
this is a tweet that I'm enjoying. It's not actually
like a written tweet. It's like a news article from
the New York Post about teens who have been dressing
up as masked grandmas to score alcohol. Yes, it was

(01:08:40):
happening all over right in Europe in like Australia and
sometime in the U s too. Yes, and this, of
course it's gen Z. And then here's one of my
own tweets about gen Z that I this is pointedly
directed at my sister who Mr scar Today say to
her life, I said, I love the gen Z talk
shit about millennials economic progress, like they aren't about to
pay a hundred k for Zoom University. Oh yeah, I

(01:09:03):
shouted that tweet out last week of yours when you
weren't on the show. I was clocking that tweet. Yeah. Yeah,
they're like, oh, you can get drunk in a building.
You didn't get drunk in a dorm. You never've never
been on campus. At least yeah, at least my debilitating
educational bill came with some experiences that involved human contact

(01:09:26):
but got to get drunk. There were also ones, though,
two that were comparing. Ones were like grandparents would be like, yeah,
and I had to walk in six ft of snow
and they're like, it was and it was a motherfucking pandemic,
Like what the you're talking about snow? So yeah, they
might they might have a little bit of a heat
they can bring to their kids too. Okay, you can
find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Gray.
Also my other podcast for twenty Day Fiance, where we

(01:09:48):
talked about ninety day Fiance Sophia Alexander and I. So
check that out, keep the laughs going. Promise you there's
no politics in that one. Um. And let's see the
tweet that I like a couple. First one is from
at Tanny Newso at Trondy Newman. She says, very proud
of the black people in my life actively resisting, refusing
opportunities aimed at harvesting our knowledge and experience for free.
You area folks wanting to quote add your voice, which

(01:10:10):
means make their brand appear diverse, or quote here your thoughts,
which means profit from your lived experience. Yeah, it's always
we always got to have our head on a squivel.
But yes, shout out to everybody who's able to at
least turn down those opportunities, because sometimes surviving takes precedent.
Next tweet is from Salomon Georgio at Salomon Georgia. He says,

(01:10:31):
I practice coming out to my parents on my baby niece.
If this sounds cute and endearing, please understand that I
was screaming I'm gay, and you can't stop me at
a sixteen at a sixteen month old baby. Funny man,
he's so funny and you can't stop at a baby.
