Just your substitute teacher, and you're here for this episode.
You know what time? It is? Season one seventy seven,
episode two. Actually, no, see, I'm sorry. I'm getting used
to it. I'm the substitute and I don't even know

(00:22):
what did. It's Season one seventy eight, episode two of
The Daily's Like Guys, the production of Our Heart Radio,
the podcast when we take a deep dive into America's
just nasty, stinking shared consciousness. It is Tuesday, March. My
name is Miles Gray, a k A. Welcome to the
pod where the news is complicated. I see the way

(00:47):
you're telling us, the things that you've searched and what's
over rated sites like this sweet deep dive for you.
Drive by your cake and we make some hot takes
and we're turning in to Jamie and my os here
to help you get educated. WHOA okay, damn. Shout out

(01:08):
to Rob Hunningham coming through on the Twitter with that
Avril a k A. You know, I love to read it.
It's really a specific one too. Yeah, I mean, luckily,
that's just you know, I thought fun with avil, you
know shot. Shout out the Canadian for this queen uh.
And look, it wouldn't be a a substitute podcast hosting

(01:29):
festival without one of the greats, one of the great podcasters,
known podcasters in this country. I am thrilled to be
joined by the miniature Zamboni herself, Jamie Lafit a k A.
Somebody once told me a resurfaced emoji ain't that type

(01:51):
of emoji? Anni. They were looking kind of dumb when
they're clicking with their songs with no way to express
a Zamboni. Well, I'm gonna I'm just gonna cut it off. There.
Shout out to at Rapinian for for for reviving the
zamboni emoji effort. It is ongoing. I have been harassing

(02:16):
the I forget that the scared uh, the Unicode Consortium.
No offense to the Unicode Consortium, but they're like they're
fucking snobs. They are They're assholes. I remember trying to
figure out how it's made, and the even an inquiry
is to asking for more information about their process. I
got the most snarky email back. Oh, there's such little

(02:37):
brats over there. They're just they're like, we will informed
the press when we decide to to discuss any of
like the inner workings, like okay, well whatever, just make
with a burrito emoji. They still haven't approved the guillotine
emoji either, which is like a brilliant idea that I
never would have thought of. Honestly, I feel like the
guillotine emoji would actually help set off some kind of

(02:59):
global workers solution. Yeah. Sometimes, like that's sadly. The missing
piece is that people have to be like Gietine Gilletine,
Gilletine get comments. You're like, I'm starting to see things
your way. Yeah, now we're pressing Jeff Bezos at his
at his house. Interesting. Well, anyway, beyond all that, Jamie,
I'm thrilled. I'm sure you are as well. To introduce

(03:23):
our guest today, someone who's got a fantastic podcast called
My Mama Told Me talking about conspiracy theories. Uh, just
a brilliant, talented comedian and your former Edinburgh Fringe roommate.
Please welcome the just amazing Lankston Kermit. Yeah, welcome Wow,

(03:44):
I want a song to introduce myself. I don't have one,
but god damn would that be cool if I came
in with some sort of two thousand? Yeah right, what's
your I always ask this, what's your favorite karaoke tri? Oh? Uh?
The Boy is Mine is a fun one? That's that's

(04:05):
a nice one. If you can find another person to
do that beginning with you, that's great where it's like, hey,
do you know him? You know? Yeah, yeah, I know,
yeah that ship. That's my favorite intro that like, for
it being a spoken word intro, that's so many people
actually could write down like excuse me, can I please
talk to you for a minute? You know, you know

(04:27):
you kind of look familiar like that vibe. Shout out
to anybody who can do the Monica BRANDI compo. My
favorite part of that is there if you probably look
at the writer's credits for that, there's like eight people
who had had to chime in to make sure that
they got that correct of airing out McKai peiffer for

(04:48):
double timing them. Oh man. I mean, spoken word intros
are so underrated, especially for like karaoke, because it eases
you into it. I can't I can't like do a
karaoke song where I'm screaming right way. I need to
like it needs to be a gentle yeah, massage that
bad boy, just a really nice gentle massage into a

(05:08):
nonsense do you do subtly warped down the boy's mind
repeat at the beginning the war is mind board. You
know what I mean? You got Oh, I think I
think I do do that if I'm if I'm remembering
my most It's been a while since I've been there's
been a bit of a pickle for the world. My group,

(05:30):
we've been getting together NonStop. You have us got sick though,
But yeah, I think you gotta warp your You gotta
do it all, do all the fun that the boy's
mind can offer you. The other part is you know
his name? Oh yeah, definitely know I know his name, motherfucker.

(05:52):
Oh man. Well see, I think you could do some
kind of like you need to give in. I'm just
gonna sing the whole song. I'm trying to how I
would create new lyrics. But yeah, I had that CD
single too, bought that ship at Blockbuster Music. Blockbuster Music, Yeah, yeah,
block So Okay, you remember the warehousemus what was what

(06:17):
was like in the era of buying physical albums, what
was like your local thing that wasn't the best buy,
like dedicated record store. We had a place called Coconuts
Strawberries that yeah, same energy. Yeah, Coconuts and Strawberries were

(06:38):
a They were like a sister company that that basically
was specialized in selling CDs, and we did Coconuts. Oh shit,
so y'all had Coconut Strawberrries. I had the Warehouse Music
Plus and then obviously Tower Records. But the Warehouse eventually
got consumed by Blockbuster when they were really feeling themselves

(06:58):
and like we'll also sell Fuck it takes fuck y'all
for them, you know, Blockbuster really they deserve better. They
really tried, they did everything right, and then these mean
ass motherfucker's that Netflix were like, now we got a
different plan and they just couldn't keep up, not on
not only that Blockbuster had they turned down the opportunity

(07:20):
to buy Netflix. Yeah, you know that's when that's when
that's where it hurts, you know, like we could have
we could have our owned, our own destiny. Then now
we're where people can do an airbnb and one of
our last stores for a joke. They did try to
do what Netflix does for a while after like all

(07:42):
their their physical stories shut down. They were doing like
Blockbuster DVDs in the middle, and nobody wanted that ship anymore.
We're disloyal bitches, and I see that now. Yeah, I mean, honestly,
I don't feel bad because they never had Street Fighter
two on Supernintendo when I tried to rent it. So
fun y'all. I've got my best Blockbuster experiences, you know,
up movie teeth about. I took that out by accident

(08:05):
and Blogbuster and have never had a better and worse
experience with an accidental rental. Oh you didn't. You didn't
know what it was when you rented it. No, I thought,
I don't know what movie I thought it was. I
thought it was like a different thriller movie. And I
brought it to my friend's house and we were like
blown away. I mean, it's still a classic. Yeah, it's

(08:28):
the teeth there. Okay, did you do a Betel cast?
We did? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Anyway, let's stop talking about
our podcasting, you know what I mean? I mean, you
can talk about millions of conspirations. What's what you know?
Conspiracy theories? Abound right now. So I'm sure you're you
have plenty of material for your podcast. I'm having a

(08:50):
great time. There's plenty of resource. You're nervous out in
the world, the places crumbling, but we can't go outside.
It's fun. Well, you know what, I'm sure we'll have
to use some of those insects to go over a
lot of the stars actually today because on some level,
conspiracies about But today we're gonna talk about how Parlor

(09:10):
apparently they were selling out their users to the FEDS
before January six. Ship snow flakes, what else? Oh? Okay, um,
there's another thing I want to let people know. We
talked about Echo Park and the sweeps and police violence
that occurred last week when people were trying to, you know,

(09:31):
stand in solidarity with the unhoused and Echo Park despite
the city's promises of doing right by them. So Jamie
will get an update on you on that, on how
our city is treating, uh, the unhoused population, and just
how fucking backwards that ship is. We'll also give a
ship update on the ever Given has finally been dislodged

(09:52):
from the Suez Canal, and we'll just talk about that
and of course, just how there's maybe some capitalist angles
shape aids to that story as well that we might
not have been thinking about. Um. And we'll also think
of like if you ever wonder what it was like
for Trump to stumble upon your wedding and you uh
bother to give am a microphone. We'll we'll actually we'll

(10:12):
find out what that sounds like because it happened in
real life and that was a mistake for the people
that got And then we're gonna talk about vacs, passports,
you know, how do you know if you've been vaccinated?
We're gonna talk about how most of America has shook
it by cancel culture. And of course we're gonna talk
about the little NASAs Montero video because conspiracy is abound. Baby,

(10:36):
Uh what all that means on top of over price sneakers,
of course, if this story has fucking everything. So before
we do all that, Langston, let us know something about
you in the form of your search history. What's something
you've been searching that this is exciting. I got jury duty. Uh,
the notification, the official notification that I was on call

(10:59):
for jury? Do these I've been google searching how to
get out of jury duty? Like the various methods for
for escaping jury duty, and I think I'm just gonna
show up and say that I'm extremely biased against the
police and see how that, you know, that plays in
their little ears. I've had to have an evolution around
that because unfortunately, if people like you or I don't

(11:21):
do jury, the verdict could get fucked up by the
kind of people that do serve injury don juries. And
like there was a reckoning I had to because I
used to be the professional jury duty dodger. I'd come
in and I would be so contrarian, like when they're
asking questions that I would just frustrate whoever, like I
didn't need an excuse. I'll be like, I'm just gonna

(11:42):
intellectually frustrate the like the lawyers, so they're like, funk
out of here. And then as I get older and
realize the complexions of juries in this country and the
verdicts that regularly come out, like I'm like, fuck the thing,
like it it is my duty on some level to
be there also sometimes like I think about the case
one was like about some tax accountant had a thing

(12:05):
with other problems like Miles, I agree, it is your
duty to be there. I have no intention on upholding
any of my civic responsibilities. I'm going to lie my
way out of it to stay at home out. Yeah
you should. If anything, Look a quick tip for people
in l A. If you can get it at the

(12:25):
Burbank court half the time, they'll let you. They'll let
you go early. That was the court room small. Yeah,
just for the for the experts out there. Okay, I
got jury duty at the beginning of quarantine and then
they had to cancel juries for a little while, so
I got out of it. Oh that was when would

(12:46):
you when would you have to go in? Potentially? I
don't know. They never they like, yeah, they just bring
with Jamie with you and be like, you know, she's
she's actually she's actually really cool and would love to
do Jerry Dog herself as a tribute for this uh

(13:09):
jury summons? But like, did they have oh yeah, um
do they like? What's the date? Because it was today
was completely resumed. I don't know. They said they said
it was today and then they said, uh, I went
online and they said you don't have to come in today,
but you got a call tonight to find out if
you tomorrow. Yeah, go in tomorrow or do you know

(13:32):
the whole you get it. But that said, uh, you know,
I'm just gonna keep trying to to draft dodge as
much as possible. I'm gonna blame my shin splints. I'm
gonna do whatever I can exactly the whole. The vibe though,
in that waiting room is so funny, because like it's
the whole spectrum. We have people who like have time,
you know what I mean, and they have done it.

(13:54):
They have crossword puzzles, books and ship fucking thermous. Then
you have like the young idiots that were like me,
who like, even before smartphones, I had like half of
a script that I like panic just grabbed out of
a pile of things to read and I was like, fun,
what then am I doing? And then there's always somebody
stressed the funk out on their phone. It's like having

(14:16):
to handle some monumental personal business but they're stuck in
this fucking room and they're trying like, look, I don't know,
I feel like I'm missing an opportunity if I skip
out on this, but I can't bring myself to you know,
it's it's comedy gold. It's gotta because a bunch of

(14:36):
miserable people trapped in a courtroom. That sounds wonderful, but
I just can't bring myself to do it, to try
and find equity and be effective in a legal system
that is completely flawed upside down. I mean, the whole
thing is a farce. But but so is this country,
and we're still participating. Right there we go. What is
something you think is overrated? Oh? Something? And this is

(14:57):
still on me? Oh okay, it's still on me. Uh,
you know what I what's been bugging me lately? You
know what's been been tugging at my shorts is uh?
I don't know if that's something people are saying now,
but I'd love for it to catch on. That's the
thing I'm not loving. I think it's overrated these there's
this new trend of videos where people you you put

(15:20):
up a video that someone else made or that you found,
and then you put your face in front of that
video and you make funny faces at the video that's happening.
Do you know what? I'm green screening yourself? Yeah, and
you're like, just like another person's effort like that, what
are we doing? That? Art is hard, It's it's a

(15:42):
challenge to come up with anything and build the confidence
to post stuff. Why are we then being like, look
at this stupid ass, I'm gonna I'm gonna make funny face.
They think somehow get more followers than this person because
of of my funny face reactions to their ship. So
what do we need like a new form where it's
like we're encouraging the bad video making Like pause, you

(16:06):
see how that was a really bad camera edit. I
like that actually his best look at it. That's all right,
Next you get him next time? All right, next, very
kind notes, Or maybe you gotta do something where it's
like you go in front of the person who was
in front of it and be like, I just don't
think that this is a good use of creative energy.

(16:26):
It seems like they're really profiting off of someone else's work. Yeah,
we're just rushing dalling the whole thing, and I'm sitting
in front like, hey, you're being mean. Stup what you're doing?
They tried their best, leave them alone until it's gone
so far that you can't even see what you were originally. Okay, right,

(16:46):
that's how Christopher Nolan wrote inception. Okay, we didn't Yeah,
TikTok man, it's it's got it all. It's got it all.
Do you feel like, for you know, us people who
are trying to just create things in like pre sort
of TikTok vine era, like just like trying to you know,

(17:08):
being a creative person. Do you see the effect that
like TikTok is going to have on future generations, like
in terms of being able to like you know, unlock
their own creativity and find a way to express that.
Because I think that's the one thing that amazes me
about it is you just see that like just a
variety in which kids who seemingly are like yeah, I

(17:28):
don't know, I just this is how I'm communicating are
kind of, you know, creating new art. I guess, yeah,
I don't. I don't even know that. I think we
get caught up in these weird traps of of comparing
the quality of creativity and I don't actually know that.
I believe that, like we were more creative than these
young people who are like fully editing videos and making

(17:51):
really complex story and like fucking thirty second clips. On
the other hand, I think that that forms of communication
are going to shift in a way that like they're
not going to know how to write like essays and ship,
but they probably can can build something that I can't build,
So I just, you know, I have to respect that, like, oh,
this is just a difference in communication, and I don't

(18:14):
know how to fix it, but and I'm I'm too
afraid to actually try, so I'm just like to keep
doing how to do until I become a weird old
guy that everybody boozed on the internet. That is like
a thing with TikTok, where it's like you're I don't know,
the like grouchy part of me is like tempted to
be like, well, what the funk is this? But it's

(18:36):
like but with you know, I can't do it, so
like I can't really talk on it if I know
I could not do it myself, and they're so good
at it. Like there, it's not like you you go like, well,
I can't do it, but it's stupid as funk. It's like, no,
you guys are making some dope ship like I wish
I knew how to do, but I Papa's ego won't

(18:56):
allow it, so you would go so I'm like, what,
which which a program did you go to for them?
It truly does. But I think, you know, in a way,
it makes it everything easier. Like I think in the
same way people were talking shit about, you know, making
when I was making sketch comedy and like or whatever,
and like that being the wave of like, yo, I'm

(19:17):
making their like what these kids with their DSLRs just
think they can make all this ship, you know, And
that's coming from the people who are coming from more
traditional media and now like we're like, oh, these kids
can just aim there. So I used to have I was,
I was on Final Cut seven till my fingers bread
and they're the same quality. And that's all it is.
It's just like it's easier now, it's easier for them,

(19:37):
And I think in that way, it's sure like we
we're gonna learn there are different processes we had to
go through creatively that they might not have to go through.
But that just frees up probably more brain space for
them to like, you know, be happy, yeah, or or
a different kind of miserable think they find they find
all that brain space and free time, and then they

(19:57):
find more things to be sad about that an Ignoran
Rent and young me didn't know existed out in the world.
Right right, right man. Anyway, shout out to an Archo
TikTok for whatever. All all my videos are an Archo TikTok.
Don't ask why, Um, what do you think is something
that's underrated? You know, I had a thing, but I

(20:18):
think we're gonna end up talking about it later, So
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna move that and I'll
say that. Something I'm pretty excited about that not a
lot of people talk about is spray on deodorant. I
like it. I think it's pretty cool. And as somebody
who suffers from from from absence, who gets the fucking
boils under their arm from regular deodorant, spray on deodorant.

(20:41):
It doesn't clog your pores, you still smell nice, and
you get to kill the environment at the same time.
It's pretty cool. Not for me. They haven't figured out
a way to make it environmentally friendly. Yeah, there are
some that are. I I'm not investing in those. Those

(21:01):
probably cost tends to twenties of dollars. I'm gonna go
with the ones that are damn near free. Or you
get like killing penguins when like at school, the like
the janitor, like the custodial services was spray for bugs,
like that pump bucket that you have yourself pump and
then you can just like like, I can just do
it on my own, but yeah, I could just stand
next to Hank and get whatever he's got. Is it

(21:23):
like an axe style container. I've avoided acts mostly because
of the self respect, years and years of people making
fun of acts. If I'm being honest, I think at
smells pretty good and I'm not sure why everybody hated
on it, but i will say that, yes, it's like
a degree, but you know, the just a regular spray

(21:45):
can kind of thing. Yeah, I felt like that was
almost the standard in the late eighties early nine like
visually that was being reinforced. In my mind was like,
oh yeah, you spray your deodor right on. I think
I think they go out a lot faster. I think
run out of it a lot faster, and so the
stick became more you know, reasonable, it's a purchase, and

(22:08):
I think as we then science revealed to us something
called the ozone that was another people like, okay, maybe
there's another way to do that. I'm here for the
me zone, baby, I'm just trying to get nice and
and I tried. I tried with the crystals. They don't
fucking work. I'm sorry, crystals bullshit, I'm my stink is
on another level. And I don't know. I've never met

(22:29):
a crystal that can fucking you know, neutralize my ship. No,
I'm sorry. I had a friend who told me about
the crystals, and I did not understand if the implication
was that you're you're holding the crystals under your mind
like you just have to like, but it's more you
just keep them in your pockets and they're like stinky

(22:50):
crystals and they keep you from stinking. Is that the
deals they roll it on just wet the crystal and apply,
you know what I mean? Yeah? This look, this was
some ship I remember seeing in my because my dad
stunk and he tried everything. And then at the time
this is like in the early nineties, were like, yo, crystal,

(23:11):
you know he's an artist or some other motherfucker's around
him was like crystals and then them's just just it
made no sense, Like he would read a wet like
a rock and like rub it on his arm and
he's still stunned. I tried that ship later on in
life because I wasn't trying to put all that like
chemical ship on me. But it was either that or
just smell fucked up? What you're gonna do? You know?

(23:32):
And hey, beaus that gang. If you have a if
you know a crystal that's fucking powerful enough to do
battle with me, then let me know. Why was your
Why was your dad so stinky? Why why did he
stink so bad? Don't you know? Like you know how
people I don't know. I'm like one of these people
if I don't wear deodorant immediately out of the shower,
and I'm like, if I watch a sports game, I'm

(23:54):
invested in my sweat. I smell awful, Like I don't
know what the funk it is. Something just whatever my body.
That's what our bodies are doing. I'm a sweater, I
get that. I like, if I start sweating, it's some
bats coming out. So you get no fight out of me,
right exactly. I still am stuck on ax body spray.

(24:15):
I feel like maybe there there is like maybe they
did get it too rough back in the day. Maybe
I think so, like guy fiery style almost like yeah,
and then he had kind of a redemption arc. Maybe
that will happen for X body spray. Yeah, you you
want to believe that ax has been given like bottles
to orphans this whole time, and then you know you
find out, ex Body Spray is the Humanitarians deal. Yeah,

(24:38):
for everybody Spray purchased. You know, we send one to
a body and need. It's like the Toms shoes of deodorants,
just making little African kids smell like muscle beach. Yeah
that I guess. I mean it smells like swag in here.

(25:00):
All right, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll
be right back with some news and we're back and
the news. Let's let's dive right on in Parlor is
back in the news. You know, the right wing chat

(25:24):
app that was marketing itself to everyone's like, oh, you know,
Google and Facebook and Twitter all scared and ship because
they won't let you say just violent racist ship because
they're terms of service. Why don't you come to the
real world over on parlor where you can do you
can incite a violent insurrection openly on the happening, and
we won't do anything about it because freedom. Well, apparently

(25:48):
that's not what happened here. Last week. The heads of Google, Facebook, Twitter,
they all had to appear like a congressional oversight hearing
on like just all things social media, like what's the
effect on children? What are you doing about Spanish language misinformation?
And like these are like what section to thirty, like
what what are your thoughts on all this stuff? And
while that was happening, Parlor was also under the microscope
because they're like trying to you know, Congress like looking

(26:09):
into their finances, their business structure, etcetera. So they had
to write a response basically, and this is just one
of the lines that caused a lot of stir aside
from them being like the overall being like, well, what
about Twitter? They let them say hang Mike pants as
a trending topic. They're doing hate speech there too, Okay,
but please sir uh, please please understand what Parlor was

(26:30):
doing specifically, So what they said here quote the company
this is them defending themselves. Has acted to remove incitement
and threats of violence from its platform and old um,
and did so numerous times in the days before the
unlawful rioting at the Capitol, as Parlor groups substantially in
the latter half of the company took the extraordinary initiative
to develop formal lines of communication with the Federal Bureau

(26:52):
of Investigation to facilitate proactive cooperation and referrals of violent
threats and incitement to law enforcement. So they said even
before January six, they're like, you might want to check
this dude out. Hey, this freedom of speech is getting
out of control. I don't like so, I mean it was,

(27:12):
which was so wild that first of all, they posted
this aren't like this response on their like Facebook company page,
and obviously the comments section fucking just wars a meltdown. Dude.
People were so piste off because they were told, like,
what the funk? I thought, I can just say racist,
I'm here and it was all good and be violent.
So they were. They were being accused of colluding with

(27:35):
the Feds. And then suddenly all these motherfucker's must have
been in the writer's room for the wire or something,
because now they're like, you know, snitches get stitches. I'm like, oh,
y'all are street people now you know, oh you live
by this code? Now snitches get okay? Sure, And then
there are all kinds of other things like they failed
as this is bullshit. They're they're aligned with the liberal takeover.

(27:56):
If you know all that ship so I love this. Yeah,
I think this is great. I think that I've been
watching that Qan on HBO documentary, uh, and it's one
of the more fascinating elements of it is just how
terrified everybody becomes when they finally see what freedom of

(28:17):
speech actually looks like, like completely like unchained, untethered to
any version of like morality. And it never turns out
well for anybody. And I'm glad that they're learning this lesson,
and more importantly, I'm glad that they're discovering that the
white overseers are never going to not snitch on you
when it comes to their own well being. It's great money,

(28:40):
you know what I mean, because they're not going to
run afoul of capitalism, right, because the whole rub of
their game is we will give you our user data
for ad Bucks. They're trying to be an alternative to Twitter.
They're they're not This isn't you know what I mean,
a ground swell. This isn't some secret organization. They're not
the black Pants. There's these mothers are selling the funk

(29:01):
out right. It's so like, I'm glad, I'm glad. I was.
I mean, as much as I hate to see Parlor
ever come up this this story is it pleases me.
I like it. They're like it's especially I mean even
starting with like the kind of disingenuous, like well, what
about Twitter, It's like, I don't know who is defending
Twitter as like an amazing tool that actually gets it done.

(29:25):
Like I think it's just it's just been around longer.
And so it's like, oh, no, we've known that Twitter
doesn't accomplish anything for like fifteen years, Like no one
who is making that argument. The backlash got so bad
on their statement where they revealed, you know, they've been
they've been steady calling Jake on everybody. But in this

(29:46):
version they said, oh fun, we need to put another
statement out to just fucking put the fires out. And
in this one it's amazing because they're essentially letting their
First Amendment fans know what the funk the First Amendment
actually is. Then Parlor comes out with this and you're like, okay,
so quote from the Parlor post. Some users have raised
questions about the practice of referring violent or inciting content

(30:09):
to law enforcement. The First Amendment does not protect violence,
inciting speech, nor the planning of violent acts. Such content
viduates Parlor's terms of service. Any violent content shared with
law enforcement was posted publicly and brought to our attention
primarily via user reporting. And as it is posted publicly,

(30:29):
it can properly be referred to law enforcement by anyone.
So like some of y'all didn't know we were cops,
and as you can clearly see in our user agreement,
we cops. We've been cops this whole time, right, And
the thing was we were just baiting y'all in with this.
Uh we put free speech in air quotes on our marquee.

(30:51):
But the problem is, y'all don't actually know what that means.
So when you find out, now you're mad about it.
But also you sick fox, don't you don't know what
it means. And you six Fox are just constantly testing
what what it actually is to be free and so
and thus you're hurting each other or at least threatening
to hurt each other, and somebody needs to police that.

(31:12):
And it's exciting. I love that it's happening to them.
I wonder what that what new definition they're going to
have to come up with if they keep like, God,
that's what the constitution says, Well, that's what scary is
and that's that's essentially what January six was the beginning of,
is we're about to move into a place where like

(31:33):
now they're going to argue with against the constitution. Like
now that's going to be the work of you know,
everybody on the internet is being like, well, maybe the
founders were incorrect and black people are just gonna have
to stay here, Like, oh boy, this isn't how we
thought it would play out. But go ahead and finish
your thought. We'll see what happens. This is the response

(31:56):
to people gaining a little bit of traction. Yeah, just
a little bit, not even full on liberation. It's not
like they're they're fucking actually paying out reparations or some ship.
Well they are in evans Did you see that giving
people reparations in Evanston, Illinois. Yeah, but it's not a
lot and it's not gonna go well, I can I

(32:18):
can tell you first saying this is not even the
aid that was given out to black farmers recently caused
a huge uproar when, like you saw, the Trump administration
gave a fraction of it to black farmers. While all
this all those farming subsidies that like the heart land
all shiit missed a ton of black farmers. And beyond that,

(32:40):
I mean the amount of farmland that black farmers used
to account for prior to like, you know, I would
say the thirties or forties. It was significant, announced down
to a fraction of what it used to be. So look,
I mean there's iniquity all around us. Look for it.
But but you know what, parlor fans keep going. I mean,
you who knows you might accident start getting radical with

(33:01):
it and realizing we're all under the same chains. But
until then, keep fighting the ghosts of brown people that
you want to blame everything for. Um. Okay, let's talk
a little bit about Echo Park the sweeps and services
policies of the city, which is absolutely ridiculous. Yeah, we

(33:23):
touched on it on Friday in the Trending episode, But Jamie, yeah,
you were there, and just from your perspective, I just
wanted to kind of run down this situation because I
have a feeling if you are in a town with
any kind of significant on house population, something like this
may be happening. Yeah. So I was reporting on this
story last Wednesday night for not l A, and then

(33:45):
Thursday I was just there on the like outskirts of
what was going on. But it's terrifying for a number
of reasons. But I do feel like ultimately it's the
precedent that's being set here could have a lot of
negative fall up for for other unhoused populations. So I
don't I don't know exactly what was gone over in trending,
but essentially what was going on was Echo Park Lake,

(34:10):
which is like a few streets over from from where
I live. UM. Over the past year there's been an
unhoused population that has really built some community and has
been thriving down there. There's there was around add twenty
people at its at its peak. And the reason that
that was able to happen, UM was because when when

(34:31):
COVID hit, a lot of these really brutal city sweeps
that are presented to uh two people by city councilors
and by all these other city officials as we're cleaning
and beautifying the city, when they're displacing people and offering
no alternative. But that wasn't able to happen over the
last year, UM, and so there was like an opportunity

(34:53):
in this community to to build UM. You know, they
had a community garden, there was like a jobs pro Graham.
It wasn't perfect, but it was like an actual, uh
functioning community where there was a lot of um solidarity.
So uh, now that most of the COVID restrictions have
been lifted, uh, the city was like, all right, let's

(35:14):
you know, let's get back to it and let's start
displacing on housed people again. Um. So there was this
gigantic sweep planned for last Thursday that was essentially our
city councilor MIT Joe Farrell, was planning to build a
fence around the entire park, close it for several weeks,
and then reopen it with all this like hostile architecture

(35:36):
and basically making it like impossible and illegal for U
housed people to come back to the park. And so
there was there was like a rally on Wednesday morning
where a couple of hundred people showed up. Uh. And
I think that that the city kind of became aware, Oh,
this is getting a lot of attention. We better push
this sweep through overnight instead of waiting until the next day.

(35:59):
And and uh so Wednesday, when when I was reporting there,
there was a uh gathering of about a few hundred
people at the lake to you know, try to peacefully
prevent the fence from going up. Uh. Four hundred cops
and six choppers showed up at the scene and just
I mean there was there was more than one cop

(36:21):
to a person, it was, and I was listening to
helicopter audio going on. There were people coming as far
as San Pedro, which is like twenty five miles away.
Cops that don't even know the area were sent in
to ensure that this fence was going to go up.
So on Wednesday it was confrontation that was scary but
did not grow uh extremely violent. Although a reporter's arm

(36:45):
was broken, someone's leg was hurt, there wasn't arrest and
it basically played out as a four hundred cops being
brought into you know, intimidate protesters and the house people
and stall for long enough for this fence to get up.
So once the fence arrived and started being built up,
the cops let everybody leave, and by Thursday morning, the

(37:08):
fence had gone around the entire park. Un Housed people
were allowed to stay there for one last night, but
essentially if you went to bed uh in a tent
and and Echo Park Lake on Wednesday night, you woke
up in an open air jail because you could not
leaved completely fenced in. No one can go in, no
one can go out, no access to anything, and it

(37:29):
was extremely hard for for UM activists to figure out
what was going on. And so the city councilor Mitro Ferrell,
who I just just like, uh said, said that he
was going to rehouse everyone at Echo Park Lake, so
you know, shut up and don't worry about it. Uh.

(37:51):
So on Thursday there was a lot of pressure put
on people who were still living at the lake uh
to accept services. Uh. There's a lot of issues with
these services. Uh. You know, some people like them, others don't.
But there's like no real I don't know. Something that
always frustrates me is there's no real, like general understanding

(38:14):
among like housed people of why an unhoused person would
resist a service. But there's so many reasons why that
would be the case. There is like in many cases, Uh,
if you are given a hotel room to live in,
it's very far from everybody, you know, sometimes it's only
for a week. If you're sent to a shelter, there's

(38:35):
like a high amount of reporting, especially among women of
being assaulted in shelters, and so there's just all these
situations where people sometimes prefer they feel that they're safer,
uh living in the park or like living among a
community that that can protect them instead of kind of
being thrown into a situation that may be safe. But
also there's it's it's very likely that it may not be.

(38:59):
Uh So Thursday, um, there was a vigil planned in
front of the city Councilor's office on sunset, so very
much like in the public like vegans dining al fresco,
the whole fucking thing. Uh yeah, it's literally at stage.

(39:21):
And so that night, uh there, I was there at
the beginning. I was there like five to seven thirty,
and already there were cops surrounding the entire area. You
had to like pass a cop to even attend the vigil.
It was very uh it was just a lot a
lot of city resources and and you even when you're

(39:41):
going to this gathering, you're like, oh, this is not
gonna end well, Like it just was really clear, especially
when shut down sunset preemptively and you're like, I'm sorry, yeah,
why is the whole streets shut down already? And it's
so much it was like a stretch of five blocks
and it extended a lot of different ways so that
no one could access the lake. And like it was
just it was I mean, it's like you know with

(40:05):
the l a p D there, you know, nothing is
like too evil for them, but it was just so
such a steep escalation, and by I think around eight
o'clock they had started cattling people again, basically the second
the sun went down it started there. There were eventually
a hundred eighty two people were arrested and taken away
in fucking l a p D school buses who were

(40:28):
just standing there. There was like a city count the
city councilor oh Ferrell like released something saying like they
had flashlights, like they like just like all this weird
gas lighty language to be like, um, actually, guys, maybe
if you hadn't brought your little flashlights, I wouldn't have
had to arrest two hundred people. Yeah, yeah, I mean

(40:49):
people were hurt, they had they were shooting less lethal rounds,
uh like. And and I think something that is like
especially scary is that third teen members of the press
were arrested that night too, and like press members that
were clearly identified were arrested intentionally, at least that white
lady from Spectrum one News. They took the blonde lady,

(41:13):
took everybody took a blond woman for just reporting on this.
I'm like there, and I'll say this, that sounds like
progress to me. But go on, more equal opportunity arrests.
Thank you l A. P D defending the landowning class
yet again. Yeah, I mean that's kind of what it

(41:33):
boils down to, is uh that it's I mean, it's
still like a story that is ongoing, but a bunch
of press were arrested. Almost two hundred people were arrested,
and then the next day, uh, the city council or
amongst other people just kind of were issuing statements that
were like, I don't know why everyone was so upset,

(41:54):
we rehoused everyone, when in fact that was not true.
So it was just a heap of bullshit happening very
much out in the open. Uh. And there has been
I mean, it's like there there has been some public
discussion about it, but it kind of in terms of
like national stuff kind of flew under the radar. But
that was what was going on last week. I mean, yeah,

(42:16):
I mean police brutality is so normal in LA now,
so it's like they're at it again. Huh cool this time.
But ye, yeah, but I think that's what we see
that that's the police will be deployed whenever there's too
many people standing on the right side of something. That's
how you know, it's like, oh, people, oh, people want
to protest the just unfettered violence against unarmed people of

(42:37):
color in the country. Should call them all up for
your standing in solidarity with unhoused people who are being
treated like absolute sub humans. Then guess who's getting brutalized
the people who are standing with them. So but anyway, yeah,
thanks for linus know a little bit more about that,
because I think a lot of us just saw what
was happening on Twitter. It's like, what the fun? It

(42:59):
was really confusing, Yeah, it was like and I and
it's like it was a confusing story to follow for
for people that didn't like I don't know, Like, I
don't know what I would have thought if I was
just watching on Twitter, but it was definitely, Um, I
don't know. I just worry that it's going to set
a precedent for future sweeps like that to just have
just a gigantic police presence and threatening anyone who you

(43:20):
know wants to stand with the the in house community.
And with that overtime, I mean, god, I'm sure it's
worth the money to rather than pouring that overtime in
back into the fucking like whatever. You know. That's like
the irony of it, because I saw that one photo
where someone did the math of like and then on
their calculator being like, that's how much dollars this is
costing right now? Oh yeah, it cost uh three quarters

(43:42):
of a million dollars to police too peaceful people from
a place where they weren't bothering other people. It's pretty greatly. Yeah. Yeah, Well,
let's move on to another group of people that are
probably confused. UM. That is two prominent Trump supporters that

(44:04):
um had their wedding at mar Lago. So I guess
when you, when you actually spend enough and you do
the full platinum White Supremacy package, you can get married
at mar Lago as a donor. So they got there,
they got their wedding, and then during the reception they said, Hey,
Donald Trump, do you want to give a quick toast

(44:24):
to everyone, which, which, by the way, shame on them
for something that that was like, that's not his thing.
He ain't known for his toast. What the funk would
you call him to come do a toast? S forre?
So look, I'm just gonna this clip is so long.
I'm just gonna jump through random parts so you can

(44:46):
see how long this motherfucker's talking before there's even anything
resembling a toast. Does he know these people? Like, does
he know them personally well in the sense that they
are very I guess, very prominent donors, So in that
sense you may have seen in them because like in
terms of your donor relationship or who knows, I mean whatever,
He's probably done one of those like lines where you

(45:08):
shake everybody's hands because they are valuable in your world.
But not right, but yeah, if they saw my stream, like,
get then away from me. Um. So, let's listen to
this speech of Donald Trump, who loves hearing his own
voice ruin someone's funk them. I don't give a funk
about their wedding anyway. Listen to a lonely man get

(45:29):
a microphone in his hands, get all these slash reports
and then tell me about the border. To tell him
about China. How are we doing with the ran. This
was a he just started a fucking wedding toast my
evoking China, Iran and the border. But but they started

(45:52):
laughing at different bits. Yeah, mostly he's saying killing. He's like, yo,
all right, the opener go right, all right, no adjustments
needed to say. Let's here he goes. Let's go skip
another thirty seconds ahead. I don't know what he's talking
about now. And the border is not good. The border

(46:13):
is worst everybody's ever seen it. And what you see
now multiply at times. Tang Jim, you would know how.
He's the only one I know, the one am on
the mortar, cover the beam. We have to Okay, let's
get another thirty seconds ahead. He is activating my fighter fly.
It's just disaster. It's humanitarian disaster. Still talking about the

(46:36):
border's gonna destroy the country. Okay, another thirty seconds. Get
sixty six million votes, sir, we are two minutes in next.

(46:57):
I love it. I love that think seeks me. What
the fund is he? What he's like? No, y'all gave
me a microphone. Nobody else will give me a microphone anymore.
Nobody wants you to talk anywhere, So you dumb bitches.
They're gonna hear what I think about the votes that
I got that should have been counting differently. Okay, let's
go on. This is I think this is his ender. Okay,

(47:19):
why are they closing up a certain places? Right down?
It's impoder to be here. You are a great and
beautiful couple. I liked it. That was pretty nice. Also,

(47:40):
my man couldn't even say their names. You don't know,
I know, but I mean, like all that, all of that,
and he couldn't even somebody been like, it's Nicole and
John whatever your name is. He's just like, I mean
that was karma was that is? That is beautiful? And
I like that he closed up by being like, well
there's all there's one thing we can agree on. This

(48:02):
is a sexy couple. Jesus, all right, thank you. And
I'm not I'm surprised he's I mean, look, that's what happens.
When do you have a This motherfucker lost his Twitter.
So keep doing that, I mean, shout out to all
the I'm sure I hope this just sets off a
wave of Trump just like stumbling into a place that
has a microphone like he's listening on I'm gonna talk

(48:25):
a little bit. There's no reason for a former former
president to give a toast that your wedding other than
to talk about ship that a former president wants to
talk about, like letting I don't give a funk who
the president is. I'm not letting them come and ruin
my wedding with their thoughts. No, unless it's like your
fucking uncle, you know what I mean, Like unless you're

(48:45):
literally related to me and you happen to be. But
I didn't let my uncle talk at my wedding because
I know what that is gonna say and it ain't
helpful to my marriage and the well being of our
family as a whole. No, I don't know, guys, I'm
gonna I'm gonna let George W. Bush paint at my wedding.

(49:06):
Him do a portrait of the head. He does a
vibe painting at the reception. He's like, I'm just gonna
kind of go off with the energy I'm feeling and
it'll made you abstract. Then I'll gift that to you
at the end there like like a really dope art show.
It's just really sad. But like, yeah, I don't know. Alright,
let's take a quick break we'll process that and we'll

(49:26):
be right back to talk some cancel culture and other
stuff all right after this, and we're back and just
a couple of things I want to touch on first
on is the vaccination passports are coming. How are we

(49:49):
going to verify who's vaccinated? I think that's really important
and I think it's something the White House itself knows
because according to a slide from their own presentation to itself,
they said, quote a chaotic, ineffective vaccine credential approach could
hamper our pandemic response by undercutting health safety measures, slowing
economic recovery, and undermining public trust and confidence. That said,

(50:10):
we are doing it. Well, here's the thing they have
to write, like, I don't know how you're going to
begin to have these protocols in place, but this is
where it gets so message. Right now, the White House
is identified, there are seventeen different initiatives taking place around
this very idea. So you've got a lot of people

(50:31):
pulling in multiple directions right now on how to best
verify if someone's been vaccinated. Because obviously, like for a
workplace that has a lot of people there, that's like
a peace of mind, you want to be able to
give someone but but also knowing like the iniquities and
how the rollout has happened, Like you can just already
see how this thing could get all funked up down

(50:52):
the road right now. Like I mean, you have a
group of anti vax or people who are, without a doubt,
probably just gonna start saying like, oh I need this
badge or else I can't be a human And the
chaos that's gonna cause. Not only what about fake ass
vaccine vaccine passports. That's another thing. I just think this

(51:14):
introduces a very slippery slope of allowing the government to
decide all the things that we have to have done
or should be doing to our bodies before we're allowed
to be out in the in public spaces. And like,
I'm not an anti vaxtor at all. I got one
shot in and Papa really wants that second one. But

(51:35):
like it's it's not. Yeah, it just seems like a
really unfair, fucked up idea to be like, yo, you
a person who didn't have the resources to get a
thing is now being excluded from you know, literally in
the world. Yeah, yeah, it's it's so hard to figure,

(51:55):
like because it's it's I I understand why this sort
of thing would be in an effort, but it's also yeah,
like you just know this like reeks of something that
is gonna result in people who don't deserve it being
like held out from from other stuff. And I to
your point, I don't think that it's going to happen

(52:16):
around COVID. I think that that, if I'm being honest,
I think COVID is not going to be the problem.
Right Like a lot of people, most people for the
most part, I guess we want the vaccine, and those
who don't are besides the really crazy outspoken people are
doing it with like a level of reason and quiet,
you know what I mean. Like, I know people are like, yeah,

(52:37):
I'm not opposed to getting vaccinated, but I'm gonna wait
until it's not in the hands of the silliest people
in the world and figure out what it actually is
doing to our bodies whatever. Whatever that said. The next
round of things that we're meant to get injected with
is going to be where the debate really kicks in
about like these passports and and are what happened with

(53:01):
Look what happened? Then y'all fuck this up? I mean
I don't think there's a way to do this well,
no matter what, Like, you're fucked because you're introducing it
into world where misinformation is moving around so freely and
not being challenged enough or being moderated or understood that
it's just not gonna it's it's just a lose it's

(53:24):
lose lose, And I get why we need, like the
logic of it to be able to be like, Nope,
that's a group that's at risk or could potentially put
people at risk, so we need to focus on them that.
But yeah, I don't know what to do. And a
lot of it, they're saying Frank Lentz, who is a
you know, huge conservative polster. Uh noticed that a lot
of conservatives seem to be motivated by this as a

(53:47):
way to get this shot. Like they thought, well, if
it helps me get back to normal, because I damn
sure want to get on my cruise ship. I damn
sure want to get on an airplane. Well fuck you
twisted my arm. If I got to get it now
to get this badge, then I'll fucking do it. So
but then even then you had a lot of people
on like in these polling groups being like there are

(54:09):
people who were just as not necessarily numerically, but there
was the intensity on the other side saying, well, then
I'll fucking change my travel plans. Fuck that, Yeah, I mean,
I mean, I think the dangerous part of all of
this is that the people who who are going to
be able to opt in and opt out these resources
will always remain available to them and they can make

(54:30):
that choice on their own, whereas there's a lot of
people in this country who don't have the ability to
just opt in and opt out, and even when they do,
opting incomes with an insane, insanely larger risk and fear
and level of like insecurity that just won't go addressed.
In creating a fucking passport that like clears me to

(54:51):
be able to work or be out and travel whatever
the fun. I could just see the fraud passport market
just exploding, and I hope it does, know what I mean, Honestly,
I hope it does. I hope, like go crazy, fuck it,
you know what I mean, Like, all of this is nonsense.
If we're telling people that, like, you know, the government
has to give you a mandated injection for you to

(55:13):
be able to go and function in the world, go,
let's make a business out of it. Fuck it. Well,
I'm trying to think to like just with the idea
that such a fraudulent market can emerge. It it's also
just kind of funny to think that you could, you know,
we can create three hundred million dollar gifts that no

(55:35):
one can fucking front, like they have the that version
of it, but like in through n f T S
and we're still like I don't but yeah, man, like
it'll be really easy to fake one of these vaccination
past digital passports and I'm sure it will be. Like
it's so it's it's like, you know, I want I
want everyone to get vaccinated. I want you know, the
herd immunity. But it's also like with with cases like this,

(55:56):
it's like I can't. It's I don't have the brainpower
or like knowledge based to be like, well what about,
like what is a better solution? I don't know, Like
it's the best solution would be that first, this is
all part and parcel of humanity's distrust in the state,
the state, you know, and like a totally under and

(56:21):
they exacerbate it by putting people through a pandemic in
which they are not going to support people and finger
wag and put people in really awful situations in which
it's being reflected to them that the government actually does
not care about them. So then to then think that
when they come through with these other initiatives that it's
in the best interest, you're already running out a deficit

(56:44):
of trust with a lot of people, you know what
I mean, Like if they if they did this differently
and maybe paid people to stay home and said, hey,
we're gonna get through this. We all we all got
each other's backs, like a vaccine is going to come
and we'll all be able to keep ourselves safe. But
don't put yourself at risk here the checks. We talked
to the banks. Don't worry about your rent because they've
talked to the land landowners who are worried about their more.

(57:06):
We're gonna we what. We sorted that ship out. We
stopped the suck of revenue momentarily so we can get
our ship together as humans. But since that didn't happen,
everything has this tinge of like greed and you know,
lack of Yeah, there's never any effort to uh to
to show why we should trust the decisions that they're making.

(57:28):
It's just this want for blind trust from a bunch
of people who historically, in every direction, black, white, every
color has experienced some version of like inequity from the
way that the government handles it like this, And it's like, no,
I'm not I'm not gonna voluntarily or at least eagerly
volunteer for your experimental, you know, new new thing. I'm

(57:54):
not gonna be happy about it and and go blindly
into that night, right, Yeah, because then we're just yeah,
on top of that, all of the misinformation that keeps
people like that allows so many thoughts to be held
simultaneously by people. It just like puts like it's hard
to break inertia. But this kind of story breaks my brain.
I'm just like I don't know what the right thing

(58:15):
to do it here. And also it's like there couldn't
be more like validity to being angry and mistrustful of
the government, like on this topic specifically, too, couldn't have
funked it up worse. It's like, yeah, it's like you
like in a relationship, they cheat all the time and
then they're like, hey, but um, like will you loan

(58:37):
me like six bucks so I can kind of get
my DJ career started, and I promise I'm gonna pay
you back and it's going to be good for us.
And you're like, I'm looking back at our history and
this feels like shit actually, and you know, and you
did nothing to try and regain my trust, which is
I think the biggest thing too, is like when they
start holding up the stimulus checks and not giving people
fifteen dollar minimum wage hikes, like those are all little

(59:00):
things that contribute to this idea that the people who
are running ship are do they actually know what is
happening here, like what what it means to live at
this this level? So all that to say, Um, our
next headline is just really interesting. Of Americans are afraid
that cancel culture is a threat to their freedom. I

(59:21):
just sorry, I sorry, I just pivoted off that and
I just had to dish. But there's a new post.
Sixty is a they said responsible, there's quite a growing
cancel culture is a threat to their freedom. Did not
view it as a threat to their freedom. Um. They
the Miriam Webster's definition of cancel culture the practice or

(59:43):
tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of
expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure. I don't know what
to say to anybody anyway. I just I'm like people
always manage to have their like eye on the long fault, Like,
I just I don't know. Well, yeah, look, if we're

(01:00:04):
if we're arguing about cancel culture, how are we gonna
talk about unhoused people. If we're arguing about cancel culture,
how are we gonna have real good faith, you know,
discussions about policing and you know the state of you know,
carceral technologies that are being applied. If we're talking about
cancel culture, we don't have to talk about why we're
dragging our feet debating what's a hate crime, what's not
a hate crime? Who gets hate crime to who? Doesn't?

(01:00:24):
You know? Like it's it. I just think we got
to take the Internet away. I think this should be
the last daily zeit, guys. I think, all right, that's
a I think everybody just needs their Internet taken away
because this is silly, Like most people aren't even successful
enough to have their world canceled. And for sixty you

(01:00:45):
know what I mean, for sixty four percent of them
to be like, well, they're gonna take my trailer home
away from me and it's like, bro, nobody's coming for you.
Nobody gives a funk about most things that are happening,
and most cancelations happen because people just speak out of
turn on some ship that like truly had nothing to
do with them. Yeah, I mean, I think there's something

(01:01:05):
to say, like we need nuance around what we're talking about,
because I think most people look at it as people
just get mad at what you say and then your
life is ruined, rather than if you have some dated,
ignorant perspectives that if you're getting called out, you need
to actually like that's a moment for evolution, growth, that
whatever the fund is happening, because I think most people

(01:01:26):
just think like it ends there, you're canceled, and then
you're just a tumble weed blowing around and then life
is over. I mean it's so that definition is like
interesting because it does like I don't know, I feel
like the phrase cancel culture is like casting two wide
of a net too, because there's so many different versions
of it where it's like sometimes it truly is just

(01:01:48):
like extreme trolling. Sometimes it is like more of an
accountability discussion. And then sometimes I think like people people
use this term in both like genuine and extremely disingenuous
ways that it's like I feel it's it's not. I
don't know how people have like one conversation about cancel
culture because it's so many different There's it's so case

(01:02:10):
to case in in my head of like there's some
that you're like, oh well, this was like clearly like
not the way to go about this, and then there's
other times where it's like people refusing to take accountability,
claiming their life is ruined, which is also like it's
just so case to case, like Sharon Osborne, Yes, I

(01:02:31):
she she lost her job because she stood up for
Pierce Morgan. Not standing up for him. That wasn't the issue.
It was your personality in standing up for him. That
isn't cancel culture. That's just motherfucker's don't like you, Sharon,
like in their spirit, and that's the choice that they're
making after that, Right, Well, you know, prayers up for

(01:02:55):
the ignorance that they can wake the funk up. You know,
let's move on to uh, someone who's that they're trying
to cancel. But I don't know how you can cancel
somebody who took a strip or poll straight to fucking
hell already. Uh, little nas X. The new video Montero
Call Me by Your Name is you got five million

(01:03:18):
views first twenty four hours. Song is fucking really good
and it has a lot like to anybody watching this,
I think you might not take it very literally, and
you can see if you listen to what the lyrics are,
you might find a little more nuanced than this guy's.
Uh he's sucking the snake in the Garden of Eden
and then was grinding on Satan like it was Magic City.

(01:03:40):
What the fund is this? Are we aheaded for another
Satanic panic? Like I was like, you know, I thought
we were over it. I thought we done this because
Q and On kept keep keeping that ship alive though
of the darkness, the energies, you know what I mean, Like, oh,
you want us to cover our mouths from Satan, you know.
And people were saying that ship at those hearings. So
with this right, Um, if you look at it, you

(01:04:02):
know this is not a Satan's recruitment tape. Okay, this
is uh, as many people say, blatantly, blatantly autobiography, auto
bio autobiographical allegory. Thank you JM for writing that out,
Um and you know, like as There was even a
press release that was letting people know, like to walk

(01:04:23):
idiots through what the imagery was about. That said, the
ending is supposed to represent quote dismantling the throne of
judgment and punishment that has kept many of us from
embracing our true selves out of fear. Little nos X
is gay. He he came out and he's you know,
a lot of people felt some type of way about that.
Most people are like, yeah, okay, do you welcome Little

(01:04:46):
nos X? Thank you for all your creative contributions. Um,
but this is just one of those things like now
a cue the backlash right that because a lot of
things was talking about how he was dating a closeted man.
Um was sort of like the inspiration for the track too.
And my goodness, the people that are coming for him.

(01:05:06):
It's truly. It is not some satanic panic ship. This
pastor Greg Lack, who went viral, he doesn't even he
admitted he didn't know who Little nos X was, and
then his racist as still had to call him a thug. Okay,
just show you like it's in build. It's like muscle memory,
It's like black I just I don't understand how trolling
still works in ine, do you know what I mean?

(01:05:29):
Like Little nos X, very talented young man. I'm I
enjoy his music, he's obviously trolling, like this is that's
the intention of this song, of this video, the whole thing.
It's just a motherfucker making fun of the fact that
y'all were like, you know, the Internet was like I
think you just pretending to be gay for attention. He's like,

(01:05:49):
all right, I'm gonna busy pop on the fucking devil
and then making you look at that. And it's like
and somehow people are still like I can't believe you
would do it. It's like he's he's a silly billy.
Of course he's gonna do it. You're playing right into
his hand. He knows. You can just look if Wapp
did all that, imagine what a gay black man taking

(01:06:13):
a stripper pull the hell and working satan out like
he's got a hundreds spilling out of his pockets. Yeah,
that that is going to get some kind of reaction.
Yeah yeah. And he's like whatever, I know, I know.
And he's also he's like I know that I'm looking
at the matrix. Motherfucker. Thank you for the views, thank
you for putting my name up. I'm trending and most
most of the time, uh, it doesn't really, it's not

(01:06:35):
gonna affect me in any other way because look, he's
had to deal with homophobius since since the jump, so
it's not off this. He's like, I'm not Frank Ocean
and I'm not about to make like classic, you know,
impossibly classic music. So I'm just gonna make sure you
guys have a different reason to talk about me. And
it's working, and he's sucking incredible video, Like it's the

(01:06:55):
level of the production value. Oh the way he takes
the pole that hell is my favorite ship. It's not
the most reasonable way to go down a pole. I'll
say that, No, not at all. But the but then
different moves as he just sayds, I was like, this
is ship is so funny, like this is perfect um,

(01:07:19):
but again this is the other part though. Then there
was a sneaker that came out the Satan shoes where
they were air Max ninety seven's that were moded by
the streetwear company called Mischief Um. They collapsed and they're
putting out only six pair and they also in the

(01:07:40):
soul there is human blood that yeah, he's again, this
is a silly, silly man who's doing this silly thing.
And I'll say this, when they everybody reacted the way
that little Nazas knew that they would react, and then
they put out which which I think, uh made me
more excited than any The Chick fil A alternatives to

(01:08:03):
those sneakers, John yea and my pause are written and
those are even better. I actually would wear the ship
out of this company. They were the same ones that
did the like Holy Water if you remember, there was
a Jesus air Max that came. So this is just

(01:08:23):
part like they know what the mischief? Right? What are
we doing? What could they be up to? What could
they be up Who are we arguing with the best
of people, like you know South Dakota Governor Christine No,
she was She's really sounded like someone's grandparents, because you know,
I think it was a tweet he put out saying

(01:08:44):
like these are an exclusive with mischief and like little
Nasax tweet and she's like, I'll tell you the real exclusive.
You're God given eternal soul, which is Jam points out.
It's kind of like when your parents are like, oh,
the real PlayStation is nature yeah, alrightful, Yeah, that's the

(01:09:07):
real that's the real one. Sometimes I'm just like when
stories like this, like they I mean it's like good
for little nosas, like I have no objection to him
like getting a ton of attention, but it's this and
like the cancel culture story, I'm like, can you just
take a nap, you get a library card? Like yes,
take the Internet away from us, we don't know it's

(01:09:31):
built for our brains, then we should we should do
something else. I mean, look, this is but this is
the this is the beauty of this ship though too
for certain you know, political ideologies, you can get focused
on such a superficial thing to avoid putting the energy
and focus into actual problem solving, you know what I mean,
Like that's all like that. It's the same thing with Democrats,

(01:09:52):
Like I can't believe that, Lauren Bulbert, man, fuck that.
Start putting your fucking head down and figuring out what
the funk you're gonna do to make ship better for people,
because all this ship it just it. You're able to
put something on the docket that delays the real work
that osh to be done. And you know, every every
party is guilty of it because we're too entrenched in

(01:10:13):
this system. The other thing, I just want to say,
little nas X absolutely knows what he's doing. He posted
a fucking apology video on YouTube, like a little bit
after that abruptly cuts into the music video, so he
knows what the funk he's doing, and I think it's genius.
Like and the other thing, Jam points out that the
blood in the shoot thing nothing new. Kiss did that

(01:10:34):
in nine seven with their Marvel comic and look how
it look. How well it turned out for Jane Simmons.
That guy is doing great. Nothing to complain about. He
has too much money, so we'll see what happens. So,
you know, Little nos X, Mr Montero, keep doing what
you gotta do. It's it's so easy. It's so easy

(01:10:55):
when people felt like that, you might as well do
something with it. What I just hate seeing black people
like happy or doing anything that isn't like you know
it immediately black women in their bodies. He oh, he
thinks he can be so gay. He could just tick
that pulled straight down the beasl bum. Yeah, I would
say it was gay this time, but I think the
principle is still the issue. It's like black gay anybody

(01:11:19):
who didn't. It's sitting right in uh in the original
concoction of what America stands for is going to get
that energy when it when the time it's right, I mean, yeah,
add marginalized group with video showing unabashed happiness and pride
within who they are and who their community is, and
somebody's gonna get mad. They're like, oh my god, these

(01:11:41):
these people got together and they're celebrating. This is this
is this is just anathemut louk out of here anyway.
So yeah, do y'all, Uh, Lankston, thanks so much for

that come out of the black community, and it's very
exciting and problematic and I hope that we get canceled soon.

(01:12:22):
There you go. Unfortunately the people like it, so maybe not,
but we'll see um, and what's the treat that you like? Oh? Like, uh,
like a delicious treat or just a spiritual treat? And
tweets of social media? If you don't know, I thought
I was saying that works. That works well for social media.

(01:12:44):
What's a social media treat? Man? Oh? There's this. There's
a very funny uh compilation that got put up by
a person I don't know, but her her name is
Jesse Davin. Uh. Jesse the Buckeye Uh is her at
And it's a compilation called Wrestling is So Horny O MG.
And it's just a bunch of wrestlers saying arguably the

(01:13:08):
most homo erotic things to each other, but like real
mean and out of context. It's in It's just like
I'm gonna foold you up. You've there's one where a
dude is like, uh, he was like, you know how
big I am? But when you get ahold of me,
I'm gonna get bigger and bigger in your hands and

(01:13:28):
it's like, yo, whoa, this is great. How could anything
get bigger? I don't know except for your your erect penis.
But he meant it differently. I think wrestling is horny.
Wrestling Horny oh Man Um and Jamie What about you?

about a day now. It's from Sarah Hoggie at kind
of Hodge and it's this attached to a screenshot caption,
I no longer understand the world around me. It's a
trending topic that I can't make heads or tails up trending.
Jimmy Jacobs. Content creator Carl tricks fans into believing that

(01:14:32):
his brother Jimmy Jacobs would be joining for his latest
Dream when really sap Nap features as his special guest.
And I was like, Wow, I've never felt more like
I get not live on Earth, that I don't know
any of these people. When really sap Nap, Well, the
twist was it was sap Nap, not Jimmy Jacobs. I

(01:14:53):
was like, what the fund does any of this mean?
I love that. I'm very invested in eventually knowing what happened. Well, yes,
I must know what was snip snap there instead of
Jake Jimmy Johnson has to know what was going on

(01:15:13):
with Carl Jimmy Jacobs and sap nap at the end. Yeah,
and is that and is it messy? Please? What are
the repercussions? Yeah? Uh. Some tweets that I like. First
one is actually from you, Jamie at Jamie Loft his Help.
You tweeted Isaac just left saying it was an quote
unquote emergency and came back with a little Caesar's pretzel
crust pizza because apparently it's the last day they're selling

(01:15:36):
them and we've never tried it. It's good. That broke
my heart that I missed out on because I've been
meaning to get that ship good. It's really good. I mean,
I think it's just they put pretzel salt on it.
I don't I wasn't convinced it with pretzel crest. I
think I was like, oh, there's extra salt on the pizza.
And I love that they're just putting big rock salt
on the crust, just just for clearly world exactly. It's

(01:16:03):
snow Day Energy rout to the Little Caesar's Pizza That's good.
