Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central now hiring. Harvard University is
going to be hiring somebody for their long and Divinity
schools as well as it's a department of African American Studies.
After Cornell West resigned after being denied tenure, Cornell West
(00:25):
is partning ways with the university. In a resignation letter
that he shared on social media, sighting and I quote
superficial diversity and political prejudices. M hm. That prejudices, though
multiple prejudices. So I guess he's just too woke for them,
(00:48):
and they go, we don't. They are not to be fair.
Harvard offer his asked another ten years of employment. He said, no,
I won't tenue. I want to be a mate man.
They said no, here's the question for you, Ralph the third.
Will black? Will black people ride a hard for Cornell
West as they did Nicole Hannah Jones and her U
(01:12):
n C situation? Mm hmmm, let me think. No, definitely,
not anybody riding with Cornell Man. No, man, I can't
see it happening at Hartheart. No, bro, No, I don't
see it happening. I think injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere, even when it happens to someone that
(01:35):
from time to time threatened to black justice. M hm
hm hm about that j G threatened threatened black justice.
You know, this man made his own prison of education,
if you will, he's his own problem. But if he
says it's racist, don't we have to investigate it just
(01:57):
because racism't happened to somebody that we don't necessar serily,
I think favorites and helps us often. You know, he
spoke against someone that I admire, So I'm done with him.
You ain't. I thought you was letting people change. If
j G can go out like that, then I'm also
gonna I'm also gonna play and guilt by association and
(02:18):
scream a bleete that dude. So yeah, I gotta ride
with her. There's still black people that work at her.
I can't believe you'll got me defending this man. Oh
my god, start the show. My name is Roy, I
(02:48):
have a job fair and you are listening to it?
How do you do? How do you do on this
wonderful day? Uh? J G? Good day? Happy week? Hopefully
July has been favorable? Does Farster? Ralph the third a
(03:08):
k A third? How you doing over there? Why good
man and a happy Cornel West too. I'm doing real well, man,
I'm good, I'm doing I'm real happy. You know. So
we have a thing this week. I think this is
(03:29):
Have we ever had a thing two weeks in a row?
J G? If we ever stumbled upon two weeks in
a row good things? No, not when they were the
exact same No, I don't. I don't think so. I
don't think so. Um No, No, these aren't the exact
same things. These aren't the exact same things. The theme
this week is competition. Competition, anything involving competition, a little sports,
(03:54):
even a little bit of sports. But you know, but
don't have a little fun today and explore the world
of competitive competition. You know, a little little oil wrestling. Uh,
we need to talk about the spelling be young woman,
and I think we need to talk about the Olympics
or something too that's coming up in a couple of days. Um,
(04:15):
So we're gonna explore the world of employment. Sportswear Company
will be checking in during the job fair, letting us
know what that T shirt and jersey game looking like
and how you can get involved in that or maybe
pivot to it and get a piece of that industry
down South Georgia. Girl put up some statistics. Yo, it's
some money in this T shirt and sportswear. Third, I
might have the fucking start selling T shirts and ship
(04:38):
bron and I said, we make a whole line of
jerseys based on Richard Prior movies. Yeah, that ship would sale.
Like whatever your idea is, that's that's the beauty of
the internet now though, Like, no matter how dumb your
idea is, there's somebody that will give you money for it,
(04:59):
straight up and that straight up and down. That's very true.
The shoe game, man, the shoe game. Like you and
you can get money for shoes you didn't warn. All
you gotta do is clean them joints and you can
sell them for like a third of the price. And
people somebody a vibe you know what. That's nasty. And
also I'm going to tell you something that's even nastier. Mother,
(05:19):
Please take your earphones off. People will buy women's used underwear.
So m M, how much are you selling? Your score
said you gotta sell you set up or something. That's
why I gave you that pause, because I thought you
(05:40):
were gonna go visit me online at Jacqueline's drawls. I'll
tell you that's disgusting. But why okay, why is that disgusting?
That's a pivot though, very they're not eating them, they're
just smelling them. They just want the smell of one.
(06:01):
I'm not saying it's not creepy, it's it's more than creepy.
What if somebody has a whole collection that could be
worth more, Like if you have like a Monday through
Sunday collection, somebody would get that actually can make good
money on it. I don't know, why are you looking
(06:21):
this up? Hit me with the ill stap you see
that I've never I can't even pronounce. Oh my goodness.
She said, people wear the used underwear they buy the draws,
and then were m hm, no, we're getting into okay,
but are we talking men wearing women's underwear? Were just
talking women wearing women's underwear? Again, Like I said, no
(06:43):
matter how crazy the idea is, there's somebody out there
that's willing to give you money for it. True. This
portion of the podcast is brought to you by Jacqueline's
Used Draws. Like to prepare Jacquelin's use drolls, Please remit
(07:04):
the money order five. I'm sorry, Jacqueline, you were trying
to I have to tell you how I know this
really quickly because she got to clean it up. She
tried to clean it up. Now, now the d M
s are a dangerous place. Let's just say that someone
(07:28):
has been for your drones to sail in a store.
This is crazy. You can make good money on this.
So I'm looking at what researcher Ronda just centers. She
said that it's women purchasing used underwear and wearing it,
and pheromones and cents and stuff. I guess why make
(07:54):
a note. Third, let's get some of these underwear sales
persons on the show. Gonna have to happen. I'm dead serious,
I'm dead as to happen. We should do that, and
we should do an only fans. I know a girl
who does squirt videos on only fans. All right, let
me explain to you why I know that. Please, because
(08:17):
I was gonna ask things ain't been left already It's
going in now, let's go. Let me explain. She is
a huge fan of stand up comedy j J. We've
talked about this before, that odd correlation between sex workers
and comedians and how like there's this the exhibitionists of
(08:38):
it and exposing yourself and you know, damaged people entertaining
strangers is what I said originally. Um, but she's a
huge She's been a fan since my print call days
like O two oh three, Like I've known her since
going viral over email. Um, I do not follow any
of the squirt videos. And because I know her professionally,
(08:59):
you know, it's just weird because I know you and
like you said that, I'm just bringing that I'm not
a customer. I'm not a customer. But yeah, she makes
videos where she you know, I'm so sorry, Jacqueline. I
know we try to keep this show Christian. We try
very hard. Like Rod, it goes off the rest, but
(09:21):
this part of the show is supposed to be nice
and wholesome for you. My point is there's money in
sports where and we'll be joined butts of people that
run a company and they we'll have them break that
down to us. Before we get into Cody's most Outstanding
Employee of the Week, I just want to read a
brief email that we were sent and see, here's the
(09:42):
thing that I want people to always know that this
wonderful acoustical radio presentation that we put together. We joke
and we play and we sunk around a lot. But
I really do want this podcast to just be a
resource for you to be inspired to go and find
what you believe your passion is or to just be
(10:02):
a better fucking coworker. And this email proves the point
of what I hope for this podcast to be, which
is an opportunity for time to time for my friends
to be a better employee. You know, Like we have
listeners from all over the globe of all different races,
and we joke around a lot on this show, but
(10:22):
this really is about hopefully building awareness for people on
things that are happening around them in the workplace that
they may not have been aware of. So I don't
remember the episode, Jacqueline, maybe you do, but we got
to run in our mouth about microaggressions that black people
deal with in the workplace. Uh it's been since Ralph
(10:43):
was on, because I know Ralph was talking about the
dreadlocks and people trying to touch us dreads. Email from
Alabama says quote, I want to thank you all for
bringing the subject to my attention. I'm white, and although
I do my best to do right by my friends
of color. I had never even heard heard of microaggressions
and had no idea what impact those actions have on people.
(11:05):
It really saddened me to think that my ignorance could
have hurt those I love and respect. J G has
mentioned of It calls me to educate myself a little further,
and I am sincerely grateful to her for that, and
that warrants my heart. You are here changing, Lige Royd.
(11:25):
You saw racism, honey, oh please, It only took us
twenty episodes in this podcast. We saw racism. Racism done.
Congratulations change, Look at us, Ambassador. Well, I don't know
about all that, but you know, most companies they actually
(11:47):
do the d E and I that's diversity, equity and
inclusion training. But what they don't do isn't sure that
you understand that training. They just want you to check
that and say, yes, I went to the diversity training,
but then they don't measure it and say, you know,
you really understand it, so I can understand how people
(12:09):
get lost in that. Are you saying that the message
that these people are delivering is imperfect? Imperfect messenger? My
new Comedy Central special will be coming to you in
October Roy during Imperfect Messenger to Third Hour Special completes
the trifected the trilogy. I have it to do it
(12:33):
that way, So well done, j G. I thought about
making you Cody's most Exstanding Employee of the Week because
of that. But there's an intern for Kanye West. Well,
I guess the potential intern for Kanye West that Uh.
I think we need to talk to this brother instead
stop Cody's most Outstanding Employee of the Week. I don't
(12:55):
mind when people do desperate things to try to get
a job, but sometimes take it a little far, take
it a little far. Uh. There was a brother online
and he was telling us his story. I'm just gonna
read you this story and you tell me whether or
(13:16):
not this is doing the most quote. I flew Detroit
to Cody, Wyoming with little to no money. I didn't
know that uber and lyfft didn't really work well out there,
so I walked four hours to Kanye West's ranch to
(13:37):
get a designer internship for the easy. People can call
me what they want, but one thing you can't call
me is a quitter. Quitters never win, brat never win.
(13:57):
And he didn't get the internship. I think this is
one of the most stalk terrific motherfucker stalker stories I've
ever heard. But I respect the effort. I respect the effort,
but I cannot hire you, No way, I cannot. I
don't think it's stalker. I don't think it's stalker ish. Okay,
(14:21):
so wait a minute, let me just make sure. Was
there like a call for interns or did he just unknown?
I'm pretty sure the call for interns wasn't hate come
to my fucking house in Wyoming. Why do you think
I'm in Wyoming to get away from motherfucker's like you?
Who will walk to my house? True? What I like?
(14:44):
I like the tenasso. I like the tenacity. He just
put it in the wrong place, and that's that's the thing.
But if nothing else, you got his attention. It's like
the girl who bought the billboard to get cast on
the Tyler Perry Show. M a little weird, but it worked,
but it worked. Cass, she got cars. I don't know
(15:08):
completely how to feel about this one. Um, it's a
little creepy, but its scales more. You just didn't know
better than stalker. I don't know if I can say
that with man. You you gotta know a little bit better.
It's wyoming, like you just don't have you I don't know.
(15:30):
Just Google you can research everything. Now, Like at some
point you got to see this is a four hour walk.
Screw it, that's your first thought. Screw it. Four hour.
I could do it. I got easies on, I could
walk four hours. I like the tenacity. You gotta put
that to work somewhere else. It's useful somewhere. It just
(15:52):
might not be right next to so I respect you,
but just mother, you got to stand over there. Yeah,
and you gotta work your way up. That's what internship
is for. You don't have to know everything, Okay, all right,
well kind of sort of Kanye West. Intern Congratulations, you
are Cody's most outstanding employee of the week, and feel
(16:15):
free to find out where Jacqueline lives and walk four
hours to her house and working at Jacqueline's use draws by.
They're hiring. They're very organized, very organized draws. In turn,
you've got a challenge worst and first, this is where
we invite you, the job fair listener, to jump on
(16:36):
this show and tell us about a terrible job you
may have had. Jacqueline. Understand that we have our first
return worst than first, is correct. We've got a lot
of people calling to the show twice. I know, the
homable Money Jones checked in with us twice. Uh, Carrie
Champion checked in with us, um a couple of times.
(16:59):
But stop. Yeah, the homie Dalen Golf shout out to
Wing stop. I guess now we call it though stopped
this summer since the chicken wing shortages forced them into
selling lemon pepper thize. But that's a conversation for another day.
We had a woman calling to the show. It's the
third episode of the show. Um we um, it's an
(17:24):
episode you haven't had a chance to check out. I
encourage you to go back and check out. It's called
Freezer Sex and the letter Aura. And uh. This wonderful
woman from my home state of Alabama called in and
explained to us the process in which her terrible ask
boss asked them to racially profile black people who were
calling to apply for home loans. And the way they
(17:45):
did it was make you spell something and they would
listen to the way you pronounced the letter R. And
if you said all right, your ass wouldn't getting a loan,
you wouldn't get the proof of ship. Um. It's a
pleasure to welcome our back to the program. And I
am a man of my words. Susan, I said, I
wanted you to come back and talk about because you
started talking about oil wrestling and some other ship. We
(18:09):
ran out of time last time. But I umbel, I know, Jackline,
I know, I normally let you introduce these people. But
she is a friend of the show. We're welcome back.
Not racist, Susan. Now talk to me about this. But
now we have to wait. We have to we have
to make a little pause for the cause. And we
(18:31):
never got butt naked. Now, there was a time when
the TV might have popped out, but that was the
That was the nurse that that happened too. She was
the only one that had the enhancement surgery done. Um
we had that. Uh what year is this? This was
(18:53):
back in nineteen eighty nine and nineteen nine For a
girl from Alabama, I really got to seat and experience
a lot. I mean we went everywhere from Maine all
the way to Nevada. Um. I didn't need to go
out every time, but um, it was fun. How did
you get recruited into oil wrestling? Because you know in
(19:15):
eighty nine the way you found the job is through
the paper or a sale for higher sign in the window.
That was the general. There was no website. May either
thrifty Nickel might have some ship in the back and
I know about the thrifty Nickel to penny papers all
that ship. Yeah, how did you get this? So? I
(19:35):
was dating a guy that went to high school with
my dad, and um, he had lots of calls right there,
calls right there. Uh, okay, so you're beating the guy
that's at least thirty years older than you. Yeah, he
was six and I was eighteen. But he thought Alabama, Alabama,
Welcome Alabama. Um. He owned nightclubs and hotels and stuff
(19:58):
like that with another guy there. Um, hang on, Susan,
there's so many digressions. Did your dad know that you
just classmates and his daughter? No? And I didn't speak
to my parents for nine months. My mother, I found
out later, thought I was dead. My dad actually hired
somebody laying paper. Yeah. Um actually, uh, there's a long
(20:23):
story backstory there. But anyway, so eventually my dad hired
money and he found me, and I guess he threatened
the guys somehow. And um, so also there was some
and I found the stack, like I knew where he
would go get it, and I like searched the house
(20:44):
and took me day and blah blah blah. I found
it and I was like getting spoonful out of it
every day. Blah blah blah. Damn, Susan, at eighteen, you
were smoking a spoon limo going everywhere every day. He
had a driver in a limo. You just it was
a real. This life I was in was unreal. It
(21:05):
was surreal. Anyway, that's another so um this girl's I
knew since that was my stepmother's best friend, her daughter.
I hooked up with her through him, and we were
doing like cocaine and dressing rooms of like all the
stories like Parisians and everything where we were trying on
close this. He would give me money every day to
(21:29):
buy like steaks and stuff for dinner at night. Well,
when he found I think he found out I was
stealing cocaine from every day. And then my daddy found
out I was living with him, so he kicked me
out and I didn't have anywhere to go because I've
been living with him for a year and I had
alienated everybody except like her. So she let me come
(21:49):
live with her and she was doing the women's oil wrestling. No,
I didn't have any money or anything. Well, he gave me,
like I think he gave me about a thousand dollars
when I made that, just a yeah, sugar baby severance
package and so, um, this should get you to your
next sucker. So that's how I started oil wrestling was
(22:10):
because he kicked me out of his house when I
was not working and completely bumming off him. I was
nineteen years old and he thought I was twenty one.
I told him I lost my license and I was
going in his nightclubs all the time drinking and it
was a very weird, crazy time. So she says, hey,
(22:31):
you broke my fucker, come oil wrestle with me, and
so you go down there. So yes. So the first
time I went to UM Tennessee to UM Vanderbilt to
a fraternity, uh, they had paid to have an oil
wrestling saying a bunch of the fraternities at Vanderbilt. This
was in nineteen eighty nine, and Uh, I was like, well,
(22:57):
I think I can do this. The made I think, Um,
I'm gonna have to call her the hitch Hiper. That
was my friend. If I say her name, y'all, if
y'all can just bleep it out if I accidentally she
was a witch hiker, and um, everybody had a persona
like real wrestling. We had the baby cruiser, the hitch hiker,
(23:20):
and the nurse, and I was the hot cop. It's
this like WWF where you all kind of decide who wins.
Because the how you make the money is, um, we
can we come out and um we do a little
routine and um then we go back and um. The
(23:40):
way you make the money is the guys would bid
on who would be the manager of the person. And
the manager was all I was like. They could he
could rub your shoulders when you were in your corners
of the rain, and then they were allowed to squirt
you down with the baby oil while you just con oh,
yeah out, I'm gonna get her, you know, and they
(24:02):
could like give you advice on you know, what to
do get her baby. And they would bid sometimes, you know,
hundreds of dollars just to stand in the corner. So
if you won the much, you got another time to
get bid on, you know, for somebody be your manager.
So that's how you made more money. But also when
(24:24):
you came out too, not like but you know how
in wrestling they come out of the tunnel whoa you know,
and all that we would also come out of, you know,
to to be introduced. It's not like stripping exactly, but
kind of like stripping where you could go through the
audience and you would get tips. You know, you would
(24:45):
take off I had a cop costume and I had
long bleached bond hair that was all up in the sunglasses,
and you take it all off and then they tip you,
you know, up to whatever you think it in your
bathe and six so you could make you know, a
hundred couple hundred dollars there a few hundred dollars you
(25:06):
know with the managers and all right, So two questions
and we get you out of here. Susan one. How
much on an average night would you say you made
doing this? Three fifty four mm hmm, that's not bad.
You split a hotel room, you split the game paid
for everything, that paid for meals everything. Um. Wait, and
(25:33):
I actually never really did drugs or anything when I
was there, but the guys would pay for drinks and stuff.
Um and I'm sure they would offer for extra was
anybody and I asked this respectfully. But it's hard to
be in a situation that sexualized and not having me
and try to buy sex from Um. Yeah, I never
had sex except for one of my boyfriends went with
me one time. That was a terrible, horrible Never do
(25:56):
that again. He went to be the lighting guy because
our lighting guy and go. It turns out he wouldn't
shine the light on me. Um, he got real jealous,
and you know, he like, when you're going through the
crowd and get money and stuff, you wouldn't shine the
light on me, so I you know, I couldn't get
my money. Uh, it was a horrible experience. UM. My
(26:17):
last question, will let you go? How did you get
out of this show? Because it sounds like this is
a job that you remember my dad. He said, you're
gonna come work for me. He said, I cannot have
you out in these streets like this anymore. I know
what you're doing. We're not going to talk about it,
just like before, because he didn't ever tell me he
knew I was living with the older guy that he
(26:40):
went to high school. He just sat me down at McDonald's.
He said, I know what you're doing, and I'm gonna
put a stop to it, and then within three days
I got kicked out when that when he found out
I was all wrestling, he came and sat me down
and said, I know what you're doing, and you know
you're jumping out front. He said, you're gonna come work
for me, and fair enough I went to work for him,
(27:02):
and God bless his soul. He was an attorney and
he taught me how to do real estate title insurance
and search for titles and UM. I utilized that. Eventually
went back to college UM and became a real estate
title insurance agent in Florida. Well, I'm glad that you
(27:25):
learned a lot from these experiences, and thank you sincerely.
Thank you for coming back on the show and sharing
this with us. And I'm glad that you in the
forty six year old man. I'm glad that it ended
early enough so that your father didn't have to deal
with the awkward moment at the class. For ye, I'll
be in Huntsville, I think in December or January. When
I get there, UM stand up live, we'll sit back.
(27:48):
I'll keep that on the schedule. I keep up with you.
I'll let you know when i'm there, will do a
spoonful of cocaine. Together, you have a good have been
in recovery for years now. I love this life. Beautiful,
Thank you, she's nice. J G. I didn't even know
spoonful was a measurement of cocaine. I don't think that's
(28:09):
how that's supposed to work. But she's still standing so so. Third,
what have we learned, if anything, about women's oil wrestling.
It's very competitive, Susan, and it's a wholesome sport for children.
What she's our favorite, she's one of our favorite guests.
I like her almost as much as Rod. She needs
to meet Rod. That will probably be a very interesting
(28:32):
conversation on this show. After the break, I'm going to
explore the world of employment, where you're still talking sports
and competition, can explore the world of two shirts and jerseys,
and we might even well, I'm not gonna ask them
about women's garments for sale, but maybe Jacqueline him makes
a compos Maybe you could put some lettering on them, Yo,
(28:53):
you can put some screen Britain, Ralph, there's a song
for this tool Jersey drawls and you put a jersey
on the back and your favorite logo on we screen
pregning sportswear job, then we'll be right back. Job there,
(29:16):
we are back. This portion of the show is always
brought to you by jacquelins Use Draws dot Org. Jackelins
Us Draws Well. Portion of the proceeds go to fun
Charcoal for barbecue grills that feed underprivileged people across this country.
J G Sports is the thing, and I know we're
(29:36):
talking with the company that the shirts and sportswear and
screen pregning makes all that cool stuff happen. Who do
we have on the phone. We have Meredith with us
and she is in l A And right now on
their website you can win a free T shirt and
also get a job. Meredith. Good day to you. I'm
(29:59):
always fascinated by an industry that I would think, let's
hit hard by COVID, only to find out, no, we're
hiring it. We need people because she is booming. How
did effect the shirt business, at least from your perspective,
it was pretty erratic, I would say, Um, we initially
saw a huge dip in sales, which was really stressful
and scary because we had em full days that we
(30:21):
had pay and I didn't want to have to lay
them off because that was going around everywhere, so I
wanted to try to protect them from that. UM and
so that was pretty stressful. But eventually, after things settle
a little bit and I think people were used to
being home all the time, things got busier for us
because people realized they didn't have to wear like work
close to work. They could just you know, wear yoga
(30:41):
pants and T shirts all day. So then we did
get busy again, and you know, we just kind of
grinded it out throughout last year and into this year,
and we've been able to grow UM and so now
we're looking to add to our team the company's boardwalk
board as an unamused boardwalk shirt. UM. The thing that
(31:03):
I that I found very very cool about your company
and just talking with down South Georgia girl, our researcher
was all of the social justice organizations that you all
donate to, you know, the c O you she should
run playing parents of the City of Promise, like you
all give a fuck on top of just making a
(31:24):
good product? Was that always the m O for the company? UM?
When we first started, I was following the Joe mix
politics and business rule. I thought that was good advice.
And then the whole Trump thing happened, and I was
so angry. I was just like a curse. I don't
know your rule. Oh we've been talking about selling us
draws and squirting. I don't know if you were Johina Wiggs. Sorry.
(31:51):
After Trump came out, I was just like, fucking, I
don't care if the rules are supposed to be. I
hate this person and i hate what he's doing to
the country, and I'm going to talk about it publicly
and it pass off a lot of people, but it
brought more of our kind of people into the fold,
so I think it worked out. Okay. Um, but yeah,
we do talk about the fact that, you know, we're
a woman owned business. We're pretty progressive. We you know,
(32:14):
regularly do feel fundraising sales for different progressive organizations that
we like. Um. We try to be the kind of
company that want other companies to be in terms of
how we treat our staff. You know, we want to
be the change we want to see in the world.
Instead of talking about it. There's something else that I
found interesting about your companies that you work with your
life partner. Now, let me preface this because I know
(32:41):
she's going to hear this episode eventually, I don't want
no ship when I get back to the house. How
do you juggle the days when y'all can't stand each
other and you still have a business to run. And
I asked this question for all of the other couples
who are out there who work together, because you have
(33:03):
to figure out a way to separate what's happening in
the house with what's happening business wise. What are the
technics that you and your partner use to make Because
I'm gonna be honest, I love that I get to
get the funk out the house every now and then.
I love my girl and her shoe business is fucking
booming and I'm so happy for but sometimes I need
(33:25):
to My therapist told me, Jacqueline Wire, you're making that
fucking face at me. My therapist fucking said that your
relationship with yourself informs your relationships with others. So make
sure that you're work in your relationship with yourself. And
sometimes I need to do that on a plane and then,
and it's not because this drama at home. I just
(33:46):
sometimes then I just need to be alone. So as
a couple of Meredith, how do you all make that work?
Because I know there's other people that are in similar arrangements.
It's not for every couple. I'll just be up front
about that. Some couples wouldn't be happy this way. We
get along really well most of the time, so it
doesn't become much of a problem when you know, we're
(34:07):
not fighting all the time. So if we are going
to work together, we're usually getting along with each other
just fine, and it doesn't come up much when we
are not getting along, which is rare. We'll give each
other space. Uh. We share an office actually, so we're
usually just a few feet apart from each other. But
if we're really like not getting along, I might just
feel like one of us can go to the office
the other one's gonna work remotely today. We're just gonna
(34:28):
take a little bit of space and we'll regroup later
when everyone's in better mood. But yeah, but it doesn't
happen much. I can't. I mean maybe once or twice
a year of top so's we're lucky in that respect. Um,
But yeah, it works for us. We mostly like working together.
You know, I'm looking through your your your sight here,
and I have to tell you off the top, I
really love your your shirts. But It almost leads back
(34:50):
here to the question that Roy is asking, Like, I'm married,
my wife is a very um, hard charging Jersey Euro
that's a nice way to put it that And sometimes
you know we might get on each other's nerves and
you know, you just don't want to talk to each other.
You're in the same space. You don't want to top
what I want to know in your situation, how often
do you all wear t shirts that say like something
(35:12):
snarky to each other instead of just speaking to each other.
Because you've got some super snarky shirts on here that
I absolutely like, you know saying. And I could just
imagine you two waking up not talking and you pull
on the shirt that says something ocie and he pulls
on the shirt and I just keep looking at each
other all day like nobody says anything. It's just the
shirts just cause all attention. Like does that happen? I
don't think so. I would say, what is more likely
(35:34):
to happen that we've been a throll our eyes about
is we don't get dressed at the same time necessarily,
and we don't notice two we've left the house that
we're wearing the same shirt. And that's weird. I'm just
like watching today. We don't do it often, and we
don't ever do it on her best, but no, uh,
usually if we're not getting along, we'll just take a
little bit of a break, not extended, but a few
hours of the day. The three group, see you have?
(35:57):
Do you have this one shirt that has this beautiful
like I just like a robbin or something. It was
like a very nature e scene and an incursive written
above it is that see you in hell? And I
could just see myself waking up one morning being mad.
Is putting on necessary, just walking around the house, just
daddy you okay, no, not let me alone. Read the shart.
Read that shart. I love it is nice. Thank you merit.
(36:20):
Tell us about the positions that you're hiring for over there.
The thing that we're hiring for most uh pressingly at
the moment is a production supervisor. And I must go
this claimer although it should be clear since we've be
talking about what we sell production and you say that
the l A area, people think you're me producing a
TV show or a movie. We're producing physical products to
ship to people. Um, we do graphic goods. We do
(36:41):
a lot of T shirts, but we do other things too. Obviously,
anything you could put a graphic on is the kind
of stuff that we do at our place. So could
you could you do don't currently have any panties, but
other things. So this role would be uh kind of
leading the production team. Uh. It would be doing production work,
(37:01):
which means printing things, working with the production equipment, working
with the team that does that production work, ordering production supplies,
maintaining production equipment. It is a really specialized skill that
is not common. So the good news is you don't
have to know how to do it already. We will
teach you. If you are looking for a role that
you can have some leadership experience, learn some new things.
(37:23):
We're really just looking for somebody that is a good
temperament fit, will be happy supervising a team, will stick
around for a little while, wants to grow with our organization. Uh.
If you have experience printing stuff, that's great, but it's
not required. Willing to walk four hours you'd like that person. No,
you don't have to work walk for hours. I will say,
since you're a job, show a tip that will probably
(37:45):
get some people mad, but it's the truth. If you're
you're looking to apply for a job and they say
to do a specific thing like please send a cover letter,
please send references, whatever it is, if it's not something
crazy and unreasonable some that they're asking for. Because I
would say only about ten per scent of people that
apply for our rules and we don't ask for anything
crazy do ask for a cover letter and resume? Ten
(38:05):
percent of a time people actually do the thing we
ask for. And we have a lot of reasons for
what the reasons we ask for what we ask for. Um,
but it really helps us gauge like did you read
the job description? Will you do the things we ask
you to do once you're actually here? Um? A cover letter,
I know a lot of people hate writing them. You
don't have to write a novel. Just a paragraph or
two is great. So we just get a sense of
(38:26):
like who are we going to meet? Are they going
to be a fit for an organization? Um? So that's
you don't have to walk four hours. But if you
could send us the resume in the cover letter, that
would be great. Okay, Well, where can people reach you
to be a part of boardwalk t shirts dot com? Yeah,
we have if you go to I love boardwalk dot com.
It's a rate direct so you can't spell it wrong.
(38:47):
But yeah, you can go to our website and there's
a careers page there and you can find out about
this role. We are going to be hiring more marketing
people later this year, so if you are interested in
our organization, you're interested in joining the marketing department, stop by.
There's argie something like a little blur about applying for
marketing jobs at our company. Um, but we have stuff
open all the time. So even if the production supervisor
(39:08):
role isn't for you, stuff by our career stage and
maybe reach out see if you want to maybe join
our organization. All right, well that's what's up. Well, thank
you so much for coming on. We appreciate you. And uh,
once we get our design and once we get our
graphics set, we're gonna circle back to you on this
Jacklin's use draws thing. Thank you so much for calling
(39:29):

keeping a trill with the sports and the competition theme,
(39:50):
also on international intrigue for the Scamp of the Week job.
Then we'll be right back job there we are back
as always. Let's get into the part of the show
when we bring on the gentleman that I believe third
(40:14):
could take Jacqueline's use drawls dot org to the next
level if we if we're able to convince j G
to start selling rawls that are cameras and really razzle
dazzled his show the right way. He is a marketing
guru when it comes to that type of stuff. Uh.
(40:39):
He comes to us from parts unknown. But if you're
in central Tennessee and yet set your tender sentence to
a hundred miles out, you may be able to pick
him up somewhere around those parts. He is Narado a
k A rod for short rod. How you doing today?

Y'all got a lot going on over there to day. Well,
(41:01):

some of these awkward moments that you're having at the

the delivery truck all day when motherfucker you don't like right,
(42:06):
I passed it over to you brother, talking a little

(42:54):
Like that, man, that's good I do. Yeah? What can do?
People break the ice with this week? Right, I'll let
you kick it off. Um well, and keeping with the
competition thing, white people, what you want to be talking
to black people about right now is Zeila and vote.
(43:14):
She has recently become the first black person to win
the scripts National Spelling be And she's a little black
girl from Louisiana. And not only is she the best
speller in the world, she's also a damn good basketball player.
She got handles big time, like like Carrie Earth, like
(43:35):
snatch a. Black people really aren't happy about her, And
that's definitely one of you to bring up. That's a
good one because that like I stopped working with the
spelling b after the fourth grade when I misspelled cole
slam and miss Cannon's class. Did you throw a D there? Yeah,
(43:57):
cole slaw ceo l D. Yeah. I've never heard of
the ship before. I thought it was one of them
trick words, because you know, they say slid and y'all
trying to trick the mother. Watch this a you German
(44:21):
like house brown cold slack. Every year in middle school,
it was a good time. Did you go to state?
(44:42):
Because like, once you win the school, you're supposed to
go like the citywide and then stay. Like that's how
they do, like the playoffs, the bracketing. Right, it's your classroom,
or at least when I did it. You have to
win your classroom, then you win your school, then you
win the school district or some ship, and then you
go from district to regionals and then from regionals to state.
(45:02):
I don't know, we didn't Nobody informed me about that.
I want. I wanted to school every year six seven,
eighth grade and then like all I got to do
was like be like a t a on the rest
of them, Like the next week, wait, so you run
the spelling be and then they just made you work
(45:24):
with a teacher. That's not a prize. Yeah, Like why
when I think about it, it's it's more like slave
Like I just yeah, that's all I have to do,
Like I I want the spelling being so I got
to administer the spelling tests like for the rest of
(45:45):
the year, I'm glad you said that. Man, in my mind,
I just see you winning and the spelling be the
third year in the road and does everybody class for you?
A teacher comes up and hands you a whole thing
of dusty as blackboard the racers and be like congratulations,
And I'm so glad I was you Just did you
keep going back to do it? That sounds so boring. Well,
(46:08):
it just kind of just happened in our class. I
didn't sign up for anything. We just like I was
the best speller in my class, So I was just
like naturally thrust into the competition for every Classconomy J. A. M. E. S.
T R. All right, Ron, let's flip the script. What
(46:35):
can up black people talk to their white co workers
about black people? Uh? What you want to be talking
to white people about is two of their favorite things,
that is dogs and home depot. When World's Alte Kentucky,
(46:58):
a rescue dog by the name of Heaven has been
labeled quote the world's cutest home Depot employee. They rescue
this little cute dog named Heaven, and she had a
lot of nervous problems and a lot of anxiety, so
they started to take her to home depot to get
her used to sights and sounds and new places, to
(47:20):
give her a treat, and now she's like assistant manager.
And it's very cute. It's a super cute story. So
if you can take it, you go to home depot.
You're looking for wood, screws, dogs might take you to
hour six. I hate the thing that I was literally thinking.
So you mean to tell me if I go to
the store and I'm looking for lumber, they gotta they
gotta lumber dog. They got a lumber support dog at
(47:43):
home Deeper. What you're saying, I go uck. You just
go to just get just to watch you get some
screws or some concrete, some concrete nails and drag it
to me. I'm all about that. Yeah, this is the
cutest thing on White people love dogs and white people
love hold Depot, Hold Deepot for like older white bed
It's like the mall to a teenager. They just go
(48:04):
to hang out and do nothing, just looking at molding,
mold right now, all right, when you can find one.
Home Deeople employees are some of the most knowledgeable motherfucker's
about the story that is true. When you can find it.
(48:29):
Oh yeah, it's so hard to find for some reason.
You can see him outside playing this day and you
can see him as soon as you step in the door.
But the minute you walk it down and it's like,
I need to help. The mother's gone with this. I
do not agree with that. I've never had and they
(48:49):
find me. I have never had anything. Just trying to
get a pair of them use panie, say that's all right,
excuse me? Are you jackling from from Jacklers Straws? Oh
my god, I follow you on. Oh my god. They
tried to get their things harm to table, you know,
just you signed these drawings for me? All right, right,
(49:21):
Uncle Rod Story Corners the podcast as always right. We
appreciate you for coming on. Um, I will leave you
to your mountain dew and rumla and a little little
cold at run on top. And I like your I
like your cartoon villain Gotee you got going on. That's right.
(49:45):
Look it looked like the hit hit him with the
fresh just for min and sharp your real clean you
got that Philly done to cut this ship off. I
cannot wait up. We're filming this movie in Boston. I
(50:05):
want this ship cut off so bad. All right, right
until next week, brother, well that's up all right, scamming
the week? J G. What job be scamming out there journalists?
But I kind of take offense to that. I don't
know if you do, but we'll see what happens. I
(50:27):
do take offense to that, like, first off, how are
you scamming journalists? It really they ain't shipped to steal? Correct? Well,
I take that back. At the radio station, I saw
a lot of CDs out the prize closet. No, no, no,
let me tell you a quick, quick, little, small little
scam before we have our guests on. So at the
(50:47):
radio station, right, you call, I need calling number nine,
and you're gonna win the c D. This is back
when it was a physical CD, right, so I could
just not fucking answer the phone and then fell out
of prize sheet and go so and so one. Now,
when you come to pick up the CD, you have
to show your idea. But I could just put my
(51:09):
homeboy's name down and you could just come into the
station to get to know it. Didn't it didn't behoove
you to do that repeatedly. Because you really do want
to give away free ship to listeners because it helps
in dear then it affects ratings. You're head hurting yourself.
But if we got twenty fucking masterpiece, what's what's eighteen?
(51:30):
I mean fourteen? What's it's not a it's not a
big deal. Um. A researcher down South Georgia girl did
a little digging about the world of journalism for US
and you know, um, average salary for journalist national average
salary is somewhere around forty two K. And you know
(51:55):
you can make a little bit more depending on where
you live. You know it ebbs and flows and state
of Illinois where journalists are paid the least, where the
average about their three k. You know that's interesting because
in Chicago there's so much crime, so you wouldn't want
a journey. Okay, well, there's so much political shadiness that
(52:16):
you may be stepping on some toes if you report
the wrong thing the right way and actually do your job.
But no, I'm curious about this. What can you steal
other than barring the news truck? Um? What's the scam?
Who do we have on? We have Jamila? And I
hope I'm pronouncing that correctly, am I yes you are
me me me Jamala. I'm delighted to be with y'all. Jamala,
(52:41):
that energy I can feel it. See it's always see
when black women come on the show and they bond
with jackolate black women women, we all we got sister circle. Hello, Jamala, Me, me, me,
what is the journalism scam? And that was excuse me
(53:01):
that you observed. I'm not gonna see that you was
a I was a part of it. I was a
big part of it, and they fired me when I said, oh,
hell no, like like you know, miss Sophia, I said
hell no, and then and then I was Hella gone.
But what had happened was okay. So um. I spent
(53:25):
a decade of my younger life doing public radio. It's
how I put myself through undergrad I actually was a
legitimate journalist, focusing on the ills of our community. I
asked questions, I went digging. I would say things such as,
but mayor, when you talked to my colleague two weeks ago,
(53:45):
you said that this bill wasn't going to pass for
these three reasons. And now everyone on the council who
supports you actually voted against what you said, and now
you seem to have changed. So are they wrong or
are you? Um? No? So I mean, I I was
about about this was Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am. I am
(54:08):
a Pittsburgher through and through, and I still have the
accent when I get angry. So I'm told so, uh,
you know, I I had these credentials and and and
I felt like, I know, this is a shock, but
I really did feel like as a black woman at
(54:30):
the time, I wasn't getting the opportunities that I wanted
to have that I was watching other people get opportunities,
get promotions, get you know, get shows. And I'm still
in the position that they know they can trust me.
And I'm always gonna be such and such as producers,
(54:52):
other persons, sidekick because I'm good at that. And that's
all that that they ever envisioned for me. One thing
too well. And they don't want you to leave because
then they have to replace you. There you go. So
I said, well, okay, I'm leaving. I'm gonna go off
and find greener pastors do some other things. So, um,
I got I got reached out to buy a recruiter
(55:14):
who said, hey, this news organization doesn't exist yet. They're
they're putting a team together, and your name came up. Repeatedly,
we want you to be part of the startup. And
I said, okay, tell me more about the startup. And
they said, yeah, well you know, um you know the
the TV station RT And I said yeah, and they said,
well it's it's some of the same investors, a lot
(55:36):
of the same people. Um, you you would you would
fit in? Well there whatnot? So I said okay, um,
and I watched and I learned, and I you know,
called up people and and nobody knew anything about their like, well,
startups happened all the time, go for it. Long story short. Um,
I got in there and uh they loved me. Uh
(55:58):
they they it was it was a Russian funded opera operation.
The Kremlin cut my checks. We were two blocks from
the White House. This is back in two eleven, is
back in twenty eleven. Okay, Now they loved me, no
quote on no now wait wait wait, and I'm gonna
say this. I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say this.
(56:19):
I was doing legitimate journalism, okay. And they loved me
because they could say, like, see America not so great,
blick lady, not yuppy, you know, And and I could
go and I could be like there's police corruption. I
am the journalist in Washington, d C. Who broke the
story before the New York Times about how trans black
(56:39):
women was getting beat up and killed in Southwest d C.
I broke that story, um, three days before the Washington
Post did it. Um. And I was doing stuff about
prisons and and and and the Congress. And then twelve happened.
And that's when the tea party came in. And I
was going around the country, interviewing people, talking to people.
(57:01):
I was doing my thing, and again American not so great.
Look at black ladies. She's not happy. You know. They
loved me, love me, lovely, lovely, loved me. Anyway, we're
gonna fast forward two years. Okay, we're about to have
a presidential race again, you know. And they start coming
(57:22):
to me with stuff like there are death camps in
in Idawa. And I'm like, there's no state called Idawa.
What is Idawa, Iowa or Idaho? Ain't neither one of
them got no death? Who is your boss? So who
this person that is calling you new story? So I'm
(57:45):
not gonna name no names, but I will say they
there was a direct line to Vladimir Putin in this trajectory.
There was a direct line. Okay, um, I may have
been giving free reign to do all of the stories
(58:07):
that exposed the terrible things about this country. So far,
so good. And then they start telling me find the
death camps, and I'm like, f you the ain't no
death camp. That's faith. You know, well you will know
I will not. You know, I said, I'll do a
story about Paul Ropes and he left the US and
went to Russia and found out that the Communists loved
everybody and you know, treated him well. Week I can
(58:30):
do that, you know. I can't go and find no
black sights. I can find you some black Russians. How
about that? Um? And so they'd send they'd send them
a younger, less flamboyantly helen, no kind of person, And
they called me from the field. Ain't going out here?
I said, I know, you and the boy go see
(58:50):
a football game. Come home? You know. Um it was.
It was terrible, And then you know, and then you
start they started saying stuff like a Mila Hillary Clinton,
can you find story on Killary Clinton? I know Hillary Clinton.
I mean, she's she's likely ain't nothing in the news.
(59:11):
There is dut on Hillary and I'm like, oh, f
you ain't nothing about that. Let me go back to
talking about d C and how the Congress is doing
this that the other. And I just kept pushing them off,
pushing them off, and then it got to the point
where they finally called a whole bunch of us in
one day and we're like, you are insubordinate, and you
(59:32):
black panther. They called me black panther, y'all. They called
me black panther. And they wasn't talking about noble forever,
like in you black panther. And I'm like, um, that's
kind of illegal to say. They're like you you you
signed paper, and you go, you go, we fire you.
But I felt like at the time that I was
(59:53):
doing the work of, you know, of of the legacy
from which I come. I come from, the black rest
I come from, you know, the men, because it was
men who were working as pullman porters who would take
the Pittsburgh Courier to the Chicago you know. Oh man,
I'm messing it up. I'm messing up. What's this you
called the black paper to Chicago? The defender? Thank you
(01:00:15):
forget thank you for so you know, switching them off
and on the different routes, letting people know, here's what's
going on, here's who's important, here's what you need to know.
And I felt like I was doing that and my
show was airing in Miami, my show was airing in
New York. I was you know, I was breaking stories.
I was doing really incredible stuff, um, you know, and
(01:00:37):
I was having a good time. And I had, Yeah,
I had the ability to be like, that's my story,
f you go away. And then when then when I
realized in hindsight, and it was like the sixth sense,
I was like, they were trying to get me to
Oh my god, that guy that's on the on the
on the new Wait wait, wait, hold on, hold on now. Okay,
(01:00:59):
So you get fired, they come in, they fire everybody.
They call you a black panther for focusing on stuff
you wouldn't go find Hillary emails and deaf camps or
whatever what happens to this this company after you get
got fired. So they they flounder about for a few months.
They were an AM station. Um, the the one my
(01:01:20):
my boss is immediate boss got nabbed federally for some
stuff that I'm not going to say because that's a
whole other show, but he got napped federally, and I
got the head of the Russian news outlets outfit that
you worked at, got arrested for federal charges. Uh huh.
(01:01:40):
And then I got a I got a letter and
was like, this is a joke. Let me call somebody.
They said, no, Jamie, that that is actually that trying
to reach out to you. And I'm like, okay, so
is that how the FBI reached my fun is they
got all your info? I know what I thought too then,
But then I called. They did leave me some messages
(01:02:03):
on see my cell phone had like okay, so I
had all these messages that I didn't need lead and
so my cell phone was kind of full a bunch
of the time. So there was that too. But they
they found me, and I was like, okay, so I
I might have. I ain't saying I did, But if
(01:02:23):
I did, what I would have done is I would
have sat down with a pair of agents and I
would have sang like a canary audition for American Idol.
I would have said la la la la, la la
la la. And if it had happened that way, one
of the FBI agents interviewing me would have said, this
is really good information. And I've never laughed this much
(01:02:45):
at that position ever in my life. And if I'm
not making all of that up, which I very well
may be, which you very well maybe, um, I would
have said, I don't know how the lie got put
out that. You know, they are a Russian mastermind, incredibly
(01:03:11):
brilliant people who are just criminal, um you know, criminal geniuses. No, uh,
there's something called you just brutally hit a wall till
it knocks over, like because the the Mind Games was
like shoots and ladders. It wasn't we wasn't even at
checkers level. So you got hired to do your job
(01:03:33):
and let you do your job long enough to get
you the spot on the United States politicians and throw
the election. And you refused and then they fired me
and they called me a black panther. And if they
had called me a black panther, they wouldn't made me mad,
but they made me mad Roy, they made they they
I was pissed to the highest of pestivity. I was like,
(01:03:53):
how are you gonna call me an animal to my face?
Like two The E E O C said oh yeah,
they can't do that, and they got to pay but
that's all I'm legally able to say. That's fair. Well, yeah,
thank you so much for calling in, and uh, if
(01:04:14):
this is the last time we talk to you, I
want you to know that you did a good job
as a journalist. We appreciate you keeping a light on
the bullshit. And I've said this before a long time
ago that journalists, especially our print and radio brothers and sisters,
you all are the ones that really get in there
and get into the details, because those are the two
(01:04:36):
mediums that really allow for that, especially print, where you're
really able to dig up and find truth. TV is
confined by ratings, it's confined by glitz, is confined by
following the conversation. But what you all do, people like you,
you helped to create the conversation. And I thank you
so much and I'm glad you made it out of
Russian media alive. And thank you very much. Colon Show program,
(01:05:01):
appreciate Panther Vus for done your black Panther too black
to brow. Thank you so much for calling in. My pleasure,

the bullshit out of the show. And there was a
lot of bullshit in the show to day, and I

apologize to you. You made a lot of jokes at
the expense of your underwear. True, I'm sorry. Well I
got us there, so it is, Ralph. Check and see
if Japan's used draws dot org has been purchased. I

(01:06:28):
gonna start draws coin. Let's get this money. Oh that's
the show. We all This has been a Comedy Central podcast.
You're listening to Comedy Central now hiring. Harvard University is
going to be hiring somebody for their long and Divinity
schools as well as it's a department of African American Studies.
After Cornell West resigned after being denied tenure, Cornell West
(00:25):
is partning ways with the university. In a resignation letter
that he shared on social media, sighting and I quote
superficial diversity and political prejudices. M hm. That prejudices, though
multiple prejudices. So I guess he's just too woke for them,
(00:48):
and they go, we don't. They are not to be fair.
Harvard offer his asked another ten years of employment. He said, no,
I won't tenue. I want to be a mate man.
They said no, here's the question for you, Ralph the third.
Will black? Will black people ride a hard for Cornell
West as they did Nicole Hannah Jones and her U
(01:12):
n C situation? Mm hmmm, let me think. No, definitely,
not anybody riding with Cornell Man. No, man, I can't
see it happening at Hartheart. No, bro, No, I don't
see it happening. I think injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere, even when it happens to someone that
(01:35):
from time to time threatened to black justice. M hm
hm hm about that j G threatened threatened black justice.
You know, this man made his own prison of education,
if you will, he's his own problem. But if he
says it's racist, don't we have to investigate it just
(01:57):
because racism't happened to somebody that we don't necessar serily,
I think favorites and helps us often. You know, he
spoke against someone that I admire, So I'm done with him.
You ain't. I thought you was letting people change. If
j G can go out like that, then I'm also
gonna I'm also gonna play and guilt by association and
(02:18):
scream a bleete that dude. So yeah, I gotta ride
with her. There's still black people that work at her.
I can't believe you'll got me defending this man. Oh
my god, start the show. My name is Roy, I
(02:48):
have a job fair and you are listening to it?
How do you do? How do you do on this
wonderful day? Uh? J G? Good day? Happy week? Hopefully
July has been favorable? Does Farster? Ralph the third a
(03:08):
k A third? How you doing over there? Why good
man and a happy Cornel West too. I'm doing real well, man,
I'm good, I'm doing I'm real happy. You know. So
we have a thing this week. I think this is
(03:29):
Have we ever had a thing two weeks in a row?
J G? If we ever stumbled upon two weeks in
a row good things? No, not when they were the
exact same No, I don't. I don't think so. I
don't think so. Um No, No, these aren't the exact
same things. These aren't the exact same things. The theme
this week is competition. Competition, anything involving competition, a little sports,
(03:54):
even a little bit of sports. But you know, but
don't have a little fun today and explore the world
of competitive competition. You know, a little little oil wrestling. Uh,
we need to talk about the spelling be young woman,
and I think we need to talk about the Olympics
or something too that's coming up in a couple of days. Um,
(04:15):
So we're gonna explore the world of employment. Sportswear Company
will be checking in during the job fair, letting us
know what that T shirt and jersey game looking like
and how you can get involved in that or maybe
pivot to it and get a piece of that industry
down South Georgia. Girl put up some statistics. Yo, it's
some money in this T shirt and sportswear. Third, I
might have the fucking start selling T shirts and ship
(04:38):
bron and I said, we make a whole line of
jerseys based on Richard Prior movies. Yeah, that ship would sale.
Like whatever your idea is, that's that's the beauty of
the internet now though, Like, no matter how dumb your
idea is, there's somebody that will give you money for it,
(04:59):
straight up and that straight up and down. That's very true.
The shoe game, man, the shoe game. Like you and
you can get money for shoes you didn't warn. All
you gotta do is clean them joints and you can
sell them for like a third of the price. And
people somebody a vibe you know what. That's nasty. And
also I'm going to tell you something that's even nastier. Mother,
(05:19):
Please take your earphones off. People will buy women's used underwear.
So m M, how much are you selling? Your score
said you gotta sell you set up or something. That's
why I gave you that pause, because I thought you
(05:40):
were gonna go visit me online at Jacqueline's drawls. I'll
tell you that's disgusting. But why okay, why is that disgusting?
That's a pivot though, very they're not eating them, they're
just smelling them. They just want the smell of one.
(06:01):
I'm not saying it's not creepy, it's it's more than creepy.
What if somebody has a whole collection that could be
worth more, Like if you have like a Monday through
Sunday collection, somebody would get that actually can make good
money on it. I don't know, why are you looking
(06:21):
this up? Hit me with the ill stap you see
that I've never I can't even pronounce. Oh my goodness.
She said, people wear the used underwear they buy the draws,
and then were m hm, no, we're getting into okay,
but are we talking men wearing women's underwear? Were just
talking women wearing women's underwear? Again, Like I said, no
(06:43):
matter how crazy the idea is, there's somebody out there
that's willing to give you money for it. True. This
portion of the podcast is brought to you by Jacqueline's
Used Draws. Like to prepare Jacquelin's use drolls, Please remit
(07:04):
the money order five. I'm sorry, Jacqueline, you were trying
to I have to tell you how I know this
really quickly because she got to clean it up. She
tried to clean it up. Now, now the d M
s are a dangerous place. Let's just say that someone
(07:28):
has been for your drones to sail in a store.
This is crazy. You can make good money on this.
So I'm looking at what researcher Ronda just centers. She
said that it's women purchasing used underwear and wearing it,
and pheromones and cents and stuff. I guess why make
(07:54):
a note. Third, let's get some of these underwear sales
persons on the show. Gonna have to happen. I'm dead serious,
I'm dead as to happen. We should do that, and
we should do an only fans. I know a girl
who does squirt videos on only fans. All right, let
me explain to you why I know that. Please, because
(08:17):
I was gonna ask things ain't been left already It's
going in now, let's go. Let me explain. She is
a huge fan of stand up comedy j J. We've
talked about this before, that odd correlation between sex workers
and comedians and how like there's this the exhibitionists of
(08:38):
it and exposing yourself and you know, damaged people entertaining
strangers is what I said originally. Um, but she's a
huge She's been a fan since my print call days
like O two oh three, Like I've known her since
going viral over email. Um, I do not follow any
of the squirt videos. And because I know her professionally,
(08:59):
you know, it's just weird because I know you and
like you said that, I'm just bringing that I'm not
a customer. I'm not a customer. But yeah, she makes
videos where she you know, I'm so sorry, Jacqueline. I
know we try to keep this show Christian. We try
very hard. Like Rod, it goes off the rest, but
(09:21):
this part of the show is supposed to be nice
and wholesome for you. My point is there's money in
sports where and we'll be joined butts of people that
run a company and they we'll have them break that
down to us. Before we get into Cody's most Outstanding
Employee of the Week, I just want to read a
brief email that we were sent and see, here's the
(09:42):
thing that I want people to always know that this
wonderful acoustical radio presentation that we put together. We joke
and we play and we sunk around a lot. But
I really do want this podcast to just be a
resource for you to be inspired to go and find
what you believe your passion is or to just be
(10:02):
a better fucking coworker. And this email proves the point
of what I hope for this podcast to be, which
is an opportunity for time to time for my friends
to be a better employee. You know, Like we have
listeners from all over the globe of all different races,
and we joke around a lot on this show, but
(10:22):
this really is about hopefully building awareness for people on
things that are happening around them in the workplace that
they may not have been aware of. So I don't
remember the episode, Jacqueline, maybe you do, but we got
to run in our mouth about microaggressions that black people
deal with in the workplace. Uh it's been since Ralph
(10:43):
was on, because I know Ralph was talking about the
dreadlocks and people trying to touch us dreads. Email from
Alabama says quote, I want to thank you all for
bringing the subject to my attention. I'm white, and although
I do my best to do right by my friends
of color. I had never even heard heard of microaggressions
and had no idea what impact those actions have on people.
(11:05):
It really saddened me to think that my ignorance could
have hurt those I love and respect. J G has
mentioned of It calls me to educate myself a little further,
and I am sincerely grateful to her for that, and
that warrants my heart. You are here changing, Lige Royd.
(11:25):
You saw racism, honey, oh please, It only took us
twenty episodes in this podcast. We saw racism. Racism done.
Congratulations change, Look at us, Ambassador. Well, I don't know
about all that, but you know, most companies they actually
(11:47):
do the d E and I that's diversity, equity and
inclusion training. But what they don't do isn't sure that
you understand that training. They just want you to check
that and say, yes, I went to the diversity training,
but then they don't measure it and say, you know,
you really understand it, so I can understand how people
(12:09):
get lost in that. Are you saying that the message
that these people are delivering is imperfect? Imperfect messenger? My
new Comedy Central special will be coming to you in
October Roy during Imperfect Messenger to Third Hour Special completes
the trifected the trilogy. I have it to do it
(12:33):
that way, So well done, j G. I thought about
making you Cody's most Exstanding Employee of the Week because
of that. But there's an intern for Kanye West. Well,
I guess the potential intern for Kanye West that Uh.
I think we need to talk to this brother instead
stop Cody's most Outstanding Employee of the Week. I don't
(12:55):
mind when people do desperate things to try to get
a job, but sometimes take it a little far, take
it a little far. Uh. There was a brother online
and he was telling us his story. I'm just gonna
read you this story and you tell me whether or
(13:16):
not this is doing the most quote. I flew Detroit
to Cody, Wyoming with little to no money. I didn't
know that uber and lyfft didn't really work well out there,
so I walked four hours to Kanye West's ranch to
(13:37):
get a designer internship for the easy. People can call
me what they want, but one thing you can't call
me is a quitter. Quitters never win, brat never win.
(13:57):
And he didn't get the internship. I think this is
one of the most stalk terrific motherfucker stalker stories I've
ever heard. But I respect the effort. I respect the effort,
but I cannot hire you, No way, I cannot. I
don't think it's stalker. I don't think it's stalker ish. Okay,
(14:21):
so wait a minute, let me just make sure. Was
there like a call for interns or did he just unknown?
I'm pretty sure the call for interns wasn't hate come
to my fucking house in Wyoming. Why do you think
I'm in Wyoming to get away from motherfucker's like you?
Who will walk to my house? True? What I like?
(14:44):
I like the tenasso. I like the tenacity. He just
put it in the wrong place, and that's that's the thing.
But if nothing else, you got his attention. It's like
the girl who bought the billboard to get cast on
the Tyler Perry Show. M a little weird, but it worked,
but it worked. Cass, she got cars. I don't know
(15:08):
completely how to feel about this one. Um, it's a
little creepy, but its scales more. You just didn't know
better than stalker. I don't know if I can say
that with man. You you gotta know a little bit better.
It's wyoming, like you just don't have you I don't know.
(15:30):
Just Google you can research everything. Now, Like at some
point you got to see this is a four hour walk.
Screw it, that's your first thought. Screw it. Four hour.
I could do it. I got easies on, I could
walk four hours. I like the tenacity. You gotta put
that to work somewhere else. It's useful somewhere. It just
(15:52):
might not be right next to so I respect you,
but just mother, you got to stand over there. Yeah,
and you gotta work your way up. That's what internship
is for. You don't have to know everything, Okay, all right,
well kind of sort of Kanye West. Intern Congratulations, you
are Cody's most outstanding employee of the week, and feel
(16:15):
free to find out where Jacqueline lives and walk four
hours to her house and working at Jacqueline's use draws by.
They're hiring. They're very organized, very organized draws. In turn,
you've got a challenge worst and first, this is where
we invite you, the job fair listener, to jump on
(16:36):
this show and tell us about a terrible job you
may have had. Jacqueline. Understand that we have our first
return worst than first, is correct. We've got a lot
of people calling to the show twice. I know, the
homable Money Jones checked in with us twice. Uh, Carrie
Champion checked in with us, um a couple of times.
(16:59):
But stop. Yeah, the homie Dalen Golf shout out to
Wing stop. I guess now we call it though stopped
this summer since the chicken wing shortages forced them into
selling lemon pepper thize. But that's a conversation for another day.
We had a woman calling to the show. It's the
third episode of the show. Um we um, it's an
(17:24):
episode you haven't had a chance to check out. I
encourage you to go back and check out. It's called
Freezer Sex and the letter Aura. And uh. This wonderful
woman from my home state of Alabama called in and
explained to us the process in which her terrible ask
boss asked them to racially profile black people who were
calling to apply for home loans. And the way they
(17:45):
did it was make you spell something and they would
listen to the way you pronounced the letter R. And
if you said all right, your ass wouldn't getting a loan,
you wouldn't get the proof of ship. Um. It's a
pleasure to welcome our back to the program. And I
am a man of my words. Susan, I said, I
wanted you to come back and talk about because you
started talking about oil wrestling and some other ship. We
(18:09):
ran out of time last time. But I umbel, I know, Jackline,
I know, I normally let you introduce these people. But
she is a friend of the show. We're welcome back.
Not racist, Susan. Now talk to me about this. But
now we have to wait. We have to we have
to make a little pause for the cause. And we
(18:31):
never got butt naked. Now, there was a time when
the TV might have popped out, but that was the
That was the nurse that that happened too. She was
the only one that had the enhancement surgery done. Um
we had that. Uh what year is this? This was
(18:53):
back in nineteen eighty nine and nineteen nine For a
girl from Alabama, I really got to seat and experience
a lot. I mean we went everywhere from Maine all
the way to Nevada. Um. I didn't need to go
out every time, but um, it was fun. How did
you get recruited into oil wrestling? Because you know in
(19:15):
eighty nine the way you found the job is through
the paper or a sale for higher sign in the window.
That was the general. There was no website. May either
thrifty Nickel might have some ship in the back and
I know about the thrifty Nickel to penny papers all
that ship. Yeah, how did you get this? So? I
(19:35):
was dating a guy that went to high school with
my dad, and um, he had lots of calls right there,
calls right there. Uh, okay, so you're beating the guy
that's at least thirty years older than you. Yeah, he
was six and I was eighteen. But he thought Alabama, Alabama,
Welcome Alabama. Um. He owned nightclubs and hotels and stuff
(19:58):
like that with another guy there. Um, hang on, Susan,
there's so many digressions. Did your dad know that you
just classmates and his daughter? No? And I didn't speak
to my parents for nine months. My mother, I found
out later, thought I was dead. My dad actually hired
somebody laying paper. Yeah. Um actually, uh, there's a long
(20:23):
story backstory there. But anyway, so eventually my dad hired
money and he found me, and I guess he threatened
the guys somehow. And um, so also there was some
and I found the stack, like I knew where he
would go get it, and I like searched the house
(20:44):
and took me day and blah blah blah. I found
it and I was like getting spoonful out of it
every day. Blah blah blah. Damn, Susan, at eighteen, you
were smoking a spoon limo going everywhere every day. He
had a driver in a limo. You just it was
a real. This life I was in was unreal. It
(21:05):
was surreal. Anyway, that's another so um this girl's I
knew since that was my stepmother's best friend, her daughter.
I hooked up with her through him, and we were
doing like cocaine and dressing rooms of like all the
stories like Parisians and everything where we were trying on
close this. He would give me money every day to
(21:29):
buy like steaks and stuff for dinner at night. Well,
when he found I think he found out I was
stealing cocaine from every day. And then my daddy found
out I was living with him, so he kicked me
out and I didn't have anywhere to go because I've
been living with him for a year and I had
alienated everybody except like her. So she let me come
(21:49):
live with her and she was doing the women's oil wrestling. No,
I didn't have any money or anything. Well, he gave me,
like I think he gave me about a thousand dollars
when I made that, just a yeah, sugar baby severance
package and so, um, this should get you to your
next sucker. So that's how I started oil wrestling was
(22:10):
because he kicked me out of his house when I
was not working and completely bumming off him. I was
nineteen years old and he thought I was twenty one.
I told him I lost my license and I was
going in his nightclubs all the time drinking and it
was a very weird, crazy time. So she says, hey,
(22:31):
you broke my fucker, come oil wrestle with me, and
so you go down there. So yes. So the first
time I went to UM Tennessee to UM Vanderbilt to
a fraternity, uh, they had paid to have an oil
wrestling saying a bunch of the fraternities at Vanderbilt. This
was in nineteen eighty nine, and Uh, I was like, well,
(22:57):
I think I can do this. The made I think, Um,
I'm gonna have to call her the hitch Hiper. That
was my friend. If I say her name, y'all, if
y'all can just bleep it out if I accidentally she
was a witch hiker, and um, everybody had a persona
like real wrestling. We had the baby cruiser, the hitch hiker,
(23:20):
and the nurse, and I was the hot cop. It's
this like WWF where you all kind of decide who wins.
Because the how you make the money is, um, we
can we come out and um we do a little
routine and um then we go back and um. The
(23:40):
way you make the money is the guys would bid
on who would be the manager of the person. And
the manager was all I was like. They could he
could rub your shoulders when you were in your corners
of the rain, and then they were allowed to squirt
you down with the baby oil while you just con oh,
yeah out, I'm gonna get her, you know, and they
(24:02):
could like give you advice on you know, what to
do get her baby. And they would bid sometimes, you know,
hundreds of dollars just to stand in the corner. So
if you won the much, you got another time to
get bid on, you know, for somebody be your manager.
So that's how you made more money. But also when
(24:24):
you came out too, not like but you know how
in wrestling they come out of the tunnel whoa you know,
and all that we would also come out of, you know,
to to be introduced. It's not like stripping exactly, but
kind of like stripping where you could go through the
audience and you would get tips. You know, you would
(24:45):
take off I had a cop costume and I had
long bleached bond hair that was all up in the sunglasses,
and you take it all off and then they tip you,
you know, up to whatever you think it in your
bathe and six so you could make you know, a
hundred couple hundred dollars there a few hundred dollars you
(25:06):
know with the managers and all right, So two questions
and we get you out of here. Susan one. How
much on an average night would you say you made
doing this? Three fifty four mm hmm, that's not bad.
You split a hotel room, you split the game paid
for everything, that paid for meals everything. Um. Wait, and
(25:33):
I actually never really did drugs or anything when I
was there, but the guys would pay for drinks and stuff.
Um and I'm sure they would offer for extra was
anybody and I asked this respectfully. But it's hard to
be in a situation that sexualized and not having me
and try to buy sex from Um. Yeah, I never
had sex except for one of my boyfriends went with
me one time. That was a terrible, horrible Never do
(25:56):
that again. He went to be the lighting guy because
our lighting guy and go. It turns out he wouldn't
shine the light on me. Um, he got real jealous,
and you know, he like, when you're going through the
crowd and get money and stuff, you wouldn't shine the
light on me, so I you know, I couldn't get
my money. Uh, it was a horrible experience. UM. My
(26:17):
last question, will let you go? How did you get
out of this show? Because it sounds like this is
a job that you remember my dad. He said, you're
gonna come work for me. He said, I cannot have
you out in these streets like this anymore. I know
what you're doing. We're not going to talk about it,
just like before, because he didn't ever tell me he
knew I was living with the older guy that he
(26:40):
went to high school. He just sat me down at McDonald's.
He said, I know what you're doing, and I'm gonna
put a stop to it, and then within three days
I got kicked out when that when he found out
I was all wrestling, he came and sat me down
and said, I know what you're doing, and you know
you're jumping out front. He said, you're gonna come work
for me, and fair enough I went to work for him,
(27:02):
and God bless his soul. He was an attorney and
he taught me how to do real estate title insurance
and search for titles and UM. I utilized that. Eventually
went back to college UM and became a real estate
title insurance agent in Florida. Well, I'm glad that you
(27:25):
learned a lot from these experiences, and thank you sincerely.
Thank you for coming back on the show and sharing
this with us. And I'm glad that you in the
forty six year old man. I'm glad that it ended
early enough so that your father didn't have to deal
with the awkward moment at the class. For ye, I'll
be in Huntsville, I think in December or January. When
I get there, UM stand up live, we'll sit back.
(27:48):
I'll keep that on the schedule. I keep up with you.
I'll let you know when i'm there, will do a
spoonful of cocaine. Together, you have a good have been
in recovery for years now. I love this life. Beautiful,
Thank you, she's nice. J G. I didn't even know
spoonful was a measurement of cocaine. I don't think that's
(28:09):
how that's supposed to work. But she's still standing so so. Third,
what have we learned, if anything, about women's oil wrestling.
It's very competitive, Susan, and it's a wholesome sport for children.
What she's our favorite, she's one of our favorite guests.
I like her almost as much as Rod. She needs
to meet Rod. That will probably be a very interesting
(28:32):
conversation on this show. After the break, I'm going to
explore the world of employment, where you're still talking sports
and competition, can explore the world of two shirts and jerseys,
and we might even well, I'm not gonna ask them
about women's garments for sale, but maybe Jacqueline him makes
a compos Maybe you could put some lettering on them, Yo,
(28:53):
you can put some screen Britain, Ralph, there's a song
for this tool Jersey drawls and you put a jersey
on the back and your favorite logo on we screen
pregning sportswear job, then we'll be right back. Job there,
(29:16):
we are back. This portion of the show is always
brought to you by jacquelins Use Draws dot Org. Jackelins
Us Draws Well. Portion of the proceeds go to fun
Charcoal for barbecue grills that feed underprivileged people across this country.
J G Sports is the thing, and I know we're
(29:36):
talking with the company that the shirts and sportswear and
screen pregning makes all that cool stuff happen. Who do
we have on the phone. We have Meredith with us
and she is in l A And right now on
their website you can win a free T shirt and
also get a job. Meredith. Good day to you. I'm
(29:59):
always fascinated by an industry that I would think, let's
hit hard by COVID, only to find out, no, we're
hiring it. We need people because she is booming. How
did effect the shirt business, at least from your perspective,
it was pretty erratic, I would say, Um, we initially
saw a huge dip in sales, which was really stressful
and scary because we had em full days that we
(30:21):
had pay and I didn't want to have to lay
them off because that was going around everywhere, so I
wanted to try to protect them from that. UM and
so that was pretty stressful. But eventually, after things settle
a little bit and I think people were used to
being home all the time, things got busier for us
because people realized they didn't have to wear like work
close to work. They could just you know, wear yoga
(30:41):
pants and T shirts all day. So then we did
get busy again, and you know, we just kind of
grinded it out throughout last year and into this year,
and we've been able to grow UM and so now
we're looking to add to our team the company's boardwalk
board as an unamused boardwalk shirt. UM. The thing that
(31:03):
I that I found very very cool about your company
and just talking with down South Georgia girl, our researcher
was all of the social justice organizations that you all
donate to, you know, the c O you she should
run playing parents of the City of Promise, like you
all give a fuck on top of just making a
(31:24):
good product? Was that always the m O for the company? UM?
When we first started, I was following the Joe mix
politics and business rule. I thought that was good advice.
And then the whole Trump thing happened, and I was
so angry. I was just like a curse. I don't
know your rule. Oh we've been talking about selling us
draws and squirting. I don't know if you were Johina Wiggs. Sorry.
(31:51):
After Trump came out, I was just like, fucking, I
don't care if the rules are supposed to be. I
hate this person and i hate what he's doing to
the country, and I'm going to talk about it publicly
and it pass off a lot of people, but it
brought more of our kind of people into the fold,
so I think it worked out. Okay. Um, but yeah,
we do talk about the fact that, you know, we're
a woman owned business. We're pretty progressive. We you know,
(32:14):
regularly do feel fundraising sales for different progressive organizations that
we like. Um. We try to be the kind of
company that want other companies to be in terms of
how we treat our staff. You know, we want to
be the change we want to see in the world.
Instead of talking about it. There's something else that I
found interesting about your companies that you work with your
life partner. Now, let me preface this because I know
(32:41):
she's going to hear this episode eventually, I don't want
no ship when I get back to the house. How
do you juggle the days when y'all can't stand each
other and you still have a business to run. And
I asked this question for all of the other couples
who are out there who work together, because you have
(33:03):
to figure out a way to separate what's happening in
the house with what's happening business wise. What are the
technics that you and your partner use to make Because
I'm gonna be honest, I love that I get to
get the funk out the house every now and then.
I love my girl and her shoe business is fucking
booming and I'm so happy for but sometimes I need
(33:25):
to My therapist told me, Jacqueline Wire, you're making that
fucking face at me. My therapist fucking said that your
relationship with yourself informs your relationships with others. So make
sure that you're work in your relationship with yourself. And
sometimes I need to do that on a plane and then,
and it's not because this drama at home. I just
(33:46):
sometimes then I just need to be alone. So as
a couple of Meredith, how do you all make that work?
Because I know there's other people that are in similar arrangements.
It's not for every couple. I'll just be up front
about that. Some couples wouldn't be happy this way. We
get along really well most of the time, so it
doesn't become much of a problem when you know, we're
(34:07):
not fighting all the time. So if we are going
to work together, we're usually getting along with each other
just fine, and it doesn't come up much when we
are not getting along, which is rare. We'll give each
other space. Uh. We share an office actually, so we're
usually just a few feet apart from each other. But
if we're really like not getting along, I might just
feel like one of us can go to the office
the other one's gonna work remotely today. We're just gonna
(34:28):
take a little bit of space and we'll regroup later
when everyone's in better mood. But yeah, but it doesn't
happen much. I can't. I mean maybe once or twice
a year of top so's we're lucky in that respect. Um,
But yeah, it works for us. We mostly like working together.
You know, I'm looking through your your your sight here,
and I have to tell you off the top, I
really love your your shirts. But It almost leads back
(34:50):
here to the question that Roy is asking, Like, I'm married,
my wife is a very um, hard charging Jersey Euro
that's a nice way to put it that And sometimes
you know we might get on each other's nerves and
you know, you just don't want to talk to each other.
You're in the same space. You don't want to top
what I want to know in your situation, how often
do you all wear t shirts that say like something
(35:12):
snarky to each other instead of just speaking to each other.
Because you've got some super snarky shirts on here that
I absolutely like, you know saying. And I could just
imagine you two waking up not talking and you pull
on the shirt that says something ocie and he pulls
on the shirt and I just keep looking at each
other all day like nobody says anything. It's just the
shirts just cause all attention. Like does that happen? I
don't think so. I would say, what is more likely
(35:34):
to happen that we've been a throll our eyes about
is we don't get dressed at the same time necessarily,
and we don't notice two we've left the house that
we're wearing the same shirt. And that's weird. I'm just
like watching today. We don't do it often, and we
don't ever do it on her best, but no, uh,
usually if we're not getting along, we'll just take a
little bit of a break, not extended, but a few
hours of the day. The three group, see you have?
(35:57):
Do you have this one shirt that has this beautiful
like I just like a robbin or something. It was
like a very nature e scene and an incursive written
above it is that see you in hell? And I
could just see myself waking up one morning being mad.
Is putting on necessary, just walking around the house, just
daddy you okay, no, not let me alone. Read the shart.
Read that shart. I love it is nice. Thank you merit.
(36:20):
Tell us about the positions that you're hiring for over there.
The thing that we're hiring for most uh pressingly at
the moment is a production supervisor. And I must go
this claimer although it should be clear since we've be
talking about what we sell production and you say that
the l A area, people think you're me producing a
TV show or a movie. We're producing physical products to
ship to people. Um, we do graphic goods. We do
(36:41):
a lot of T shirts, but we do other things too. Obviously,
anything you could put a graphic on is the kind
of stuff that we do at our place. So could
you could you do don't currently have any panties, but
other things. So this role would be uh kind of
leading the production team. Uh. It would be doing production work,
(37:01):
which means printing things, working with the production equipment, working
with the team that does that production work, ordering production supplies,
maintaining production equipment. It is a really specialized skill that
is not common. So the good news is you don't
have to know how to do it already. We will
teach you. If you are looking for a role that
you can have some leadership experience, learn some new things.
(37:23):
We're really just looking for somebody that is a good
temperament fit, will be happy supervising a team, will stick
around for a little while, wants to grow with our organization. Uh.
If you have experience printing stuff, that's great, but it's
not required. Willing to walk four hours you'd like that person. No,
you don't have to work walk for hours. I will say,
since you're a job, show a tip that will probably
(37:45):
get some people mad, but it's the truth. If you're
you're looking to apply for a job and they say
to do a specific thing like please send a cover letter,
please send references, whatever it is, if it's not something
crazy and unreasonable some that they're asking for. Because I
would say only about ten per scent of people that
apply for our rules and we don't ask for anything
crazy do ask for a cover letter and resume? Ten
(38:05):
percent of a time people actually do the thing we
ask for. And we have a lot of reasons for
what the reasons we ask for what we ask for. Um,
but it really helps us gauge like did you read
the job description? Will you do the things we ask
you to do once you're actually here? Um? A cover letter,
I know a lot of people hate writing them. You
don't have to write a novel. Just a paragraph or
two is great. So we just get a sense of
(38:26):
like who are we going to meet? Are they going
to be a fit for an organization? Um? So that's
you don't have to walk four hours. But if you
could send us the resume in the cover letter, that
would be great. Okay, Well, where can people reach you
to be a part of boardwalk t shirts dot com? Yeah,
we have if you go to I love boardwalk dot com.
It's a rate direct so you can't spell it wrong.
(38:47):
But yeah, you can go to our website and there's
a careers page there and you can find out about
this role. We are going to be hiring more marketing
people later this year, so if you are interested in
our organization, you're interested in joining the marketing department, stop by.
There's argie something like a little blur about applying for
marketing jobs at our company. Um, but we have stuff
open all the time. So even if the production supervisor
(39:08):
role isn't for you, stuff by our career stage and
maybe reach out see if you want to maybe join
our organization. All right, well that's what's up. Well, thank
you so much for coming on. We appreciate you. And uh,
once we get our design and once we get our
graphics set, we're gonna circle back to you on this
Jacklin's use draws thing. Thank you so much for calling
(39:29):
to the job fair. Meredith. I'll see you when I'm
back West Coast. Thanks for having me all right by Alight,

homie Rod for short a k A. Narato and uh
explore ways that you can break the ice. We're still
keeping a trill with the sports and the competition theme,
(39:50):
also on international intrigue for the Scamp of the Week job.
Then we'll be right back job there we are back
as always. Let's get into the part of the show
when we bring on the gentleman that I believe third
(40:14):
could take Jacqueline's use drawls dot org to the next
level if we if we're able to convince j G
to start selling rawls that are cameras and really razzle
dazzled his show the right way. He is a marketing
guru when it comes to that type of stuff. Uh.
(40:39):
He comes to us from parts unknown. But if you're
in central Tennessee and yet set your tender sentence to
a hundred miles out, you may be able to pick
him up somewhere around those parts. He is Narado a
k A rod for short rod. How you doing today?

Y'all got a lot going on over there to day. Well,
(41:01):
we've been bringing Jack went up on game on the
ways people make money on the internet being freaky. You

like it's like a real thing on this program every
(41:45):
week too. Listeners and topics you can, you know, bring
up in the workplace to help break the ice with
co workers that you can't stand. We're trying to kill
some of these awkward moments that you're having at the
water coolers and company fridge or that long ride in
the delivery truck all day when motherfucker you don't like right,
(42:06):
I passed it over to you brother, talking a little
bit about competition and sports today, But go ahead and

(42:54):
Like that, man, that's good I do. Yeah? What can do?
People break the ice with this week? Right, I'll let
you kick it off. Um well, and keeping with the
competition thing, white people, what you want to be talking
to black people about right now is Zeila and vote.
(43:14):
She has recently become the first black person to win
the scripts National Spelling be And she's a little black
girl from Louisiana. And not only is she the best
speller in the world, she's also a damn good basketball player.
She got handles big time, like like Carrie Earth, like
(43:35):
snatch a. Black people really aren't happy about her, And
that's definitely one of you to bring up. That's a
good one because that like I stopped working with the
spelling b after the fourth grade when I misspelled cole
slam and miss Cannon's class. Did you throw a D there? Yeah,
(43:57):
cole slaw ceo l D. Yeah. I've never heard of
the ship before. I thought it was one of them
trick words, because you know, they say slid and y'all
trying to trick the mother. Watch this a you German
(44:21):
like house brown cold slack. Every year in middle school,
it was a good time. Did you go to state?
(44:42):
Because like, once you win the school, you're supposed to
go like the citywide and then stay. Like that's how
they do, like the playoffs, the bracketing. Right, it's your classroom,
or at least when I did it. You have to
win your classroom, then you win your school, then you
win the school district or some ship, and then you
go from district to regionals and then from regionals to state.
(45:02):
I don't know, we didn't Nobody informed me about that.
I want. I wanted to school every year six seven,
eighth grade and then like all I got to do
was like be like a t a on the rest
of them, Like the next week, wait, so you run
the spelling be and then they just made you work
(45:24):
with a teacher. That's not a prize. Yeah, Like why
when I think about it, it's it's more like slave
Like I just yeah, that's all I have to do,
Like I I want the spelling being so I got
to administer the spelling tests like for the rest of
(45:45):
the year, I'm glad you said that. Man, in my mind,
I just see you winning and the spelling be the
third year in the road and does everybody class for you?
A teacher comes up and hands you a whole thing
of dusty as blackboard the racers and be like congratulations,
And I'm so glad I was you Just did you
keep going back to do it? That sounds so boring. Well,
(46:08):
it just kind of just happened in our class. I
didn't sign up for anything. We just like I was
the best speller in my class, So I was just
like naturally thrust into the competition for every Classconomy J. A. M. E. S.
T R. All right, Ron, let's flip the script. What
(46:35):
can up black people talk to their white co workers
about black people? Uh? What you want to be talking
to white people about is two of their favorite things,
that is dogs and home depot. When World's Alte Kentucky,
(46:58):
a rescue dog by the name of Heaven has been
labeled quote the world's cutest home Depot employee. They rescue
this little cute dog named Heaven, and she had a
lot of nervous problems and a lot of anxiety, so
they started to take her to home depot to get
her used to sights and sounds and new places, to
(47:20):
give her a treat, and now she's like assistant manager.
And it's very cute. It's a super cute story. So
if you can take it, you go to home depot.
You're looking for wood, screws, dogs might take you to
hour six. I hate the thing that I was literally thinking.
So you mean to tell me if I go to
the store and I'm looking for lumber, they gotta they
gotta lumber dog. They got a lumber support dog at
(47:43):
home Deeper. What you're saying, I go uck. You just
go to just get just to watch you get some
screws or some concrete, some concrete nails and drag it
to me. I'm all about that. Yeah, this is the
cutest thing on White people love dogs and white people
love hold Depot, Hold Deepot for like older white bed
It's like the mall to a teenager. They just go
(48:04):
to hang out and do nothing, just looking at molding,
mold right now, all right, when you can find one.
Home Deeople employees are some of the most knowledgeable motherfucker's
about the story that is true. When you can find it.
(48:29):
Oh yeah, it's so hard to find for some reason.
You can see him outside playing this day and you
can see him as soon as you step in the door.
But the minute you walk it down and it's like,
I need to help. The mother's gone with this. I
do not agree with that. I've never had and they
(48:49):
find me. I have never had anything. Just trying to
get a pair of them use panie, say that's all right,
excuse me? Are you jackling from from Jacklers Straws? Oh
my god, I follow you on. Oh my god. They
tried to get their things harm to table, you know,
just you signed these drawings for me? All right, right,
(49:21):
Uncle Rod Story Corners the podcast as always right. We
appreciate you for coming on. Um, I will leave you
to your mountain dew and rumla and a little little
cold at run on top. And I like your I
like your cartoon villain Gotee you got going on. That's right.
(49:45):
Look it looked like the hit hit him with the
fresh just for min and sharp your real clean you
got that Philly done to cut this ship off. I
cannot wait up. We're filming this movie in Boston. I
(50:05):
want this ship cut off so bad. All right, right
until next week, brother, well that's up all right, scamming
the week? J G. What job be scamming out there journalists?
But I kind of take offense to that. I don't
know if you do, but we'll see what happens. I
(50:27):
do take offense to that, like, first off, how are
you scamming journalists? It really they ain't shipped to steal? Correct? Well,
I take that back. At the radio station, I saw
a lot of CDs out the prize closet. No, no, no,
let me tell you a quick, quick, little, small little
scam before we have our guests on. So at the
(50:47):
radio station, right, you call, I need calling number nine,
and you're gonna win the c D. This is back
when it was a physical CD, right, so I could
just not fucking answer the phone and then fell out
of prize sheet and go so and so one. Now,
when you come to pick up the CD, you have
to show your idea. But I could just put my
(51:09):
homeboy's name down and you could just come into the
station to get to know it. Didn't it didn't behoove
you to do that repeatedly. Because you really do want
to give away free ship to listeners because it helps
in dear then it affects ratings. You're head hurting yourself.
But if we got twenty fucking masterpiece, what's what's eighteen?
(51:30):
I mean fourteen? What's it's not a it's not a
big deal. Um. A researcher down South Georgia girl did
a little digging about the world of journalism for US
and you know, um, average salary for journalist national average
salary is somewhere around forty two K. And you know
(51:55):
you can make a little bit more depending on where
you live. You know it ebbs and flows and state
of Illinois where journalists are paid the least, where the
average about their three k. You know that's interesting because
in Chicago there's so much crime, so you wouldn't want
a journey. Okay, well, there's so much political shadiness that
(52:16):
you may be stepping on some toes if you report
the wrong thing the right way and actually do your job.
But no, I'm curious about this. What can you steal
other than barring the news truck? Um? What's the scam?
Who do we have on? We have Jamila? And I
hope I'm pronouncing that correctly, am I yes you are
me me me Jamala. I'm delighted to be with y'all. Jamala,
(52:41):
that energy I can feel it. See it's always see
when black women come on the show and they bond
with jackolate black women women, we all we got sister circle. Hello, Jamala, Me, me, me,
what is the journalism scam? And that was excuse me
(53:01):
that you observed. I'm not gonna see that you was
a I was a part of it. I was a
big part of it, and they fired me when I said, oh,
hell no, like like you know, miss Sophia, I said
hell no, and then and then I was Hella gone.
But what had happened was okay. So um. I spent
(53:25):
a decade of my younger life doing public radio. It's
how I put myself through undergrad I actually was a
legitimate journalist, focusing on the ills of our community. I
asked questions, I went digging. I would say things such as,
but mayor, when you talked to my colleague two weeks ago,
(53:45):
you said that this bill wasn't going to pass for
these three reasons. And now everyone on the council who
supports you actually voted against what you said, and now
you seem to have changed. So are they wrong or
are you? Um? No? So I mean, I I was
about about this was Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am. I am
(54:08):
a Pittsburgher through and through, and I still have the
accent when I get angry. So I'm told so, uh,
you know, I I had these credentials and and and
I felt like, I know, this is a shock, but
I really did feel like as a black woman at
(54:30):
the time, I wasn't getting the opportunities that I wanted
to have that I was watching other people get opportunities,
get promotions, get you know, get shows. And I'm still
in the position that they know they can trust me.
And I'm always gonna be such and such as producers,
(54:52):
other persons, sidekick because I'm good at that. And that's
all that that they ever envisioned for me. One thing
too well. And they don't want you to leave because
then they have to replace you. There you go. So
I said, well, okay, I'm leaving. I'm gonna go off
and find greener pastors do some other things. So, um,
I got I got reached out to buy a recruiter
(55:14):
who said, hey, this news organization doesn't exist yet. They're
they're putting a team together, and your name came up. Repeatedly,
we want you to be part of the startup. And
I said, okay, tell me more about the startup. And
they said, yeah, well you know, um you know the
the TV station RT And I said yeah, and they said,
well it's it's some of the same investors, a lot
(55:36):
of the same people. Um, you you would you would
fit in? Well there whatnot? So I said okay, um,
and I watched and I learned, and I you know,
called up people and and nobody knew anything about their like, well,
startups happened all the time, go for it. Long story short. Um,
I got in there and uh they loved me. Uh
(55:58):
they they it was it was a Russian funded opera operation.
The Kremlin cut my checks. We were two blocks from
the White House. This is back in two eleven, is
back in twenty eleven. Okay, Now they loved me, no
quote on no now wait wait wait, and I'm gonna
say this. I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say this.
(56:19):
I was doing legitimate journalism, okay. And they loved me
because they could say, like, see America not so great,
blick lady, not yuppy, you know, And and I could
go and I could be like there's police corruption. I
am the journalist in Washington, d C. Who broke the
story before the New York Times about how trans black
(56:39):
women was getting beat up and killed in Southwest d C.
I broke that story, um, three days before the Washington
Post did it. Um. And I was doing stuff about
prisons and and and and the Congress. And then twelve happened.
And that's when the tea party came in. And I
was going around the country, interviewing people, talking to people.
(57:01):
I was doing my thing, and again American not so great.
Look at black ladies. She's not happy. You know. They
loved me, love me, lovely, lovely, loved me. Anyway, we're
gonna fast forward two years. Okay, we're about to have
a presidential race again, you know. And they start coming
(57:22):
to me with stuff like there are death camps in
in Idawa. And I'm like, there's no state called Idawa.
What is Idawa, Iowa or Idaho? Ain't neither one of
them got no death? Who is your boss? So who
this person that is calling you new story? So I'm
(57:45):
not gonna name no names, but I will say they
there was a direct line to Vladimir Putin in this trajectory.
There was a direct line. Okay, um, I may have
been giving free reign to do all of the stories
(58:07):
that exposed the terrible things about this country. So far,
so good. And then they start telling me find the
death camps, and I'm like, f you the ain't no
death camp. That's faith. You know, well you will know
I will not. You know, I said, I'll do a
story about Paul Ropes and he left the US and
went to Russia and found out that the Communists loved
everybody and you know, treated him well. Week I can
(58:30):
do that, you know. I can't go and find no
black sights. I can find you some black Russians. How
about that? Um? And so they'd send they'd send them
a younger, less flamboyantly helen, no kind of person, And
they called me from the field. Ain't going out here?
I said, I know, you and the boy go see
(58:50):
a football game. Come home? You know. Um it was.
It was terrible, And then you know, and then you
start they started saying stuff like a Mila Hillary Clinton,
can you find story on Killary Clinton? I know Hillary Clinton.
I mean, she's she's likely ain't nothing in the news.
(59:11):
There is dut on Hillary and I'm like, oh, f
you ain't nothing about that. Let me go back to
talking about d C and how the Congress is doing
this that the other. And I just kept pushing them off,
pushing them off, and then it got to the point
where they finally called a whole bunch of us in
one day and we're like, you are insubordinate, and you
(59:32):
black panther. They called me black panther, y'all. They called
me black panther. And they wasn't talking about noble forever,
like in you black panther. And I'm like, um, that's
kind of illegal to say. They're like you you you
signed paper, and you go, you go, we fire you.
But I felt like at the time that I was
(59:53):
doing the work of, you know, of of the legacy
from which I come. I come from, the black rest
I come from, you know, the men, because it was
men who were working as pullman porters who would take
the Pittsburgh Courier to the Chicago you know. Oh man,
I'm messing it up. I'm messing up. What's this you
called the black paper to Chicago? The defender? Thank you
(01:00:15):
forget thank you for so you know, switching them off
and on the different routes, letting people know, here's what's
going on, here's who's important, here's what you need to know.
And I felt like I was doing that and my
show was airing in Miami, my show was airing in
New York. I was you know, I was breaking stories.
I was doing really incredible stuff, um, you know, and
(01:00:37):
I was having a good time. And I had, Yeah,
I had the ability to be like, that's my story,
f you go away. And then when then when I
realized in hindsight, and it was like the sixth sense,
I was like, they were trying to get me to
Oh my god, that guy that's on the on the
on the new Wait wait, wait, hold on, hold on now. Okay,
(01:00:59):
So you get fired, they come in, they fire everybody.
They call you a black panther for focusing on stuff
you wouldn't go find Hillary emails and deaf camps or
whatever what happens to this this company after you get
got fired. So they they flounder about for a few months.
They were an AM station. Um, the the one my
(01:01:20):
my boss is immediate boss got nabbed federally for some
stuff that I'm not going to say because that's a
whole other show, but he got napped federally, and I
got the head of the Russian news outlets outfit that
you worked at, got arrested for federal charges. Uh huh.
(01:01:40):
And then I got a I got a letter and
was like, this is a joke. Let me call somebody.
They said, no, Jamie, that that is actually that trying
to reach out to you. And I'm like, okay, so
is that how the FBI reached my fun is they
got all your info? I know what I thought too then,
But then I called. They did leave me some messages
(01:02:03):
on see my cell phone had like okay, so I
had all these messages that I didn't need lead and
so my cell phone was kind of full a bunch
of the time. So there was that too. But they
they found me, and I was like, okay, so I
I might have. I ain't saying I did, But if
(01:02:23):
I did, what I would have done is I would
have sat down with a pair of agents and I
would have sang like a canary audition for American Idol.
I would have said la la la la, la la
la la. And if it had happened that way, one
of the FBI agents interviewing me would have said, this
is really good information. And I've never laughed this much
(01:02:45):
at that position ever in my life. And if I'm
not making all of that up, which I very well
may be, which you very well maybe, um, I would
have said, I don't know how the lie got put
out that. You know, they are a Russian mastermind, incredibly
(01:03:11):
brilliant people who are just criminal, um you know, criminal geniuses. No, uh,
there's something called you just brutally hit a wall till
it knocks over, like because the the Mind Games was
like shoots and ladders. It wasn't we wasn't even at
checkers level. So you got hired to do your job
(01:03:33):
and let you do your job long enough to get
you the spot on the United States politicians and throw
the election. And you refused and then they fired me
and they called me a black panther. And if they
had called me a black panther, they wouldn't made me mad,
but they made me mad Roy, they made they they
I was pissed to the highest of pestivity. I was like,
(01:03:53):
how are you gonna call me an animal to my face?
Like two The E E O C said oh yeah,
they can't do that, and they got to pay but
that's all I'm legally able to say. That's fair. Well, yeah,
thank you so much for calling in, and uh, if
(01:04:14):
this is the last time we talk to you, I
want you to know that you did a good job
as a journalist. We appreciate you keeping a light on
the bullshit. And I've said this before a long time
ago that journalists, especially our print and radio brothers and sisters,
you all are the ones that really get in there
and get into the details, because those are the two
(01:04:36):
mediums that really allow for that, especially print, where you're
really able to dig up and find truth. TV is
confined by ratings, it's confined by glitz, is confined by
following the conversation. But what you all do, people like you,
you helped to create the conversation. And I thank you
so much and I'm glad you made it out of
Russian media alive. And thank you very much. Colon Show program,
