I want to coopia of joy content and black cultural history.
This podcast is a wonderful archive of black pop culture.
Do yourself a favor and listen. That is true.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I didn't think about it this way, but you're right,
absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Over the last fourteen fifteen sixteen years how long we
been doing this, you could at any point randomly pick
an episode or on purpose pick an episode, and whatever
black people and pop culture thing was going on, we
probably were talking about.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yes, we were, no matter what it is.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, like I'm sure just even if it was in
passing or whatever. For the most part, if something was
happening and black people gave a fuck, we was here.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yes, we were.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
We've been on the scenes, like I went to news.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, so I guess we kind of are historical archive,
and the last five star reviewer is from Kappa Square seven,
who says best in the business five stars, Rod and
kron At an absolute goat of podcasts. Fight me exactly,
not fight me. Our fans and the dot for this
ship give they give a balance approach to life, politics

(07:05):
and current events. If you are looking for a show
that gives you edutainment, welcome home, Thank you edutainment.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's an old school word.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's back when like rappers used to say that ship
because they couldn't make radio hits. It's like, that's because
I'm making edutainment. It don't got to be number one, brother,
Like I don't know. It's still played on the same
radio as Two Live Crew and they're killing you.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Right now, yes they are.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
But yeah, make sure you guys do all of that stuff.
Leave us five star reviews or Apple podcast. You can
do it from a computer now. You don't actually need
to have a logging.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Apple uses. You ain't got no excuse. I want my
five stars.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Even mister Spain has left for us five star reviews.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
And that's saying something, and that's that that means that brother,
fuck with us with us, Oh don't it Okay, I've
seen I've seen what he's had to say about Apple,
and he wouldn't touch them unless he had to, right,
thank you.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
I was like, I don't have to, so we think it.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
If mister Spens has a still of approval, child, you
ain't got no excuse.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
All right, let's get to these episodes that we did
this year. This week.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Threeenty eighteen, the Republican Globe Trotter seven comments it was
a feedback show.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Apia says, I did really accomplish my goal. I have
a black friend now thanks to black out tips. I
will I will stay. I will still stay here for
the good content. Maybe someday make even a second black friend.
Who knows whoa whoa buddy gonna get out of control?

Speaker 6 (08:32):
Pushing those numbers kind of hard danger. You know what
they say rid of us, can't get rid of us
pretty soon, know what they say about friends. Once you
go black, you can't go back.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I hope more listeners will meet if I can make
it from another continent. I see great possibilities for your Americas.
It's really fun running. Raphael says that any of you
catch the family of the American freelance journalists held in
Syria after their week meeting at the White House. They
were taking shots at Biden, which at first I was like,
I kind of get the frustrated. Then the mom says
Trump loved her son during his first term. Doesn't it

(09:05):
add anything about what or how if he bothered to
bring her son home? If Joe Biden is Joe Biden
has been terrible, right, there is registered that the person
who got them proof of their son being alive equal trash,
but the one who said I love your son does
not an equal great. That's how I see folks complaining
about Hunter's party. Welcome to all the new premium members.

(09:26):
I got a super discount just for you. Don't listen
to rods propaganda against middle named bears. Once your third
eye has been opened by my sister Karen, you'll see
past Rod's attempt to sell this sleek move. Open thy
third eye from my comedic brethren. There's a trip to
Africa on air TBGWT soon. Focused alert everyone play to

(09:46):
Welcome Music Rock for the record. Runner Raphael has no
affiliation with this podcast.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
You do it at your own risk, y'all.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I would actually advise against any business feelings. I don't care,
let me barrow quarter for the pay don't exist anymore.
So he's lying to you right there. Don't do it.
So uh, there's no air of tbg WT. And please
don't believe that. Sean says Nixon was preemptively pardoned, and
here's the list. Also there are rumors that Biden is

(10:20):
considering preemptive pardons. Also, you write Tim K's reasonable pardons
on one day and Hunters in there. The news would
ignore everyone but Hunter. Yeah, and he actually went and
did some more pardons, the biggest single day pardoning of
people ever.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
He did that just this week of it.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Not it was.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's actually worse than that, in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
One, It's not like they went, oh okay, well that
makes the Hunter pardon okay. So everyone who floated that,
now you know you can suck my dick because I
told you that it wouldn't matter it just if we're
gonna I just I guess I'm at a point now
where I'm fed up with people's inability to just be
real because I feel like, if nothing else, what I

(11:06):
am taking out of twenty twenty four is oh okay,
so we could just be real and that's it. Like
cause I don't really understand what's what him and Howard,
and given all this covering these people is helping, it
hasn't helped. It hasn't helped. To be very nice about
it hasn't. And I'm not even saying you gotta be mean.
I'm just saying, let's just be truthful with each other.
I don't really want the excuses in the fifty fifties.

(11:28):
But yeah, anyway, the uh, the Knicks in parton, I
think stands in a completely different category as he was
the president and it was it was unprecedented, and to
this day it is still extremely controversial. So thank you, Sean,
because that's a great technical point. But I just don't
I would not think I would not consider the Knicks

(11:52):
in parton as a like, oh yeah, that's that's what
people do, you know? And if and like I said,
I think pre emptively pardoning someone who isn't even an investigation,
like say Hillary Clinton, I don't even know if that
holds up or how that holds up or what that
holds up. I don't even know what an income and
Republican administration would charge people that they consider enemies with

(12:15):
I'm not even sure it's something you because it's not
you say, I pardon them against any and all conceivable
offenses that they do for the rest of their life. Right,
So I don't even know what you do with that.
But like I said, if any of this stuff, including
the people that like James Clyburn who are floating we
should pardon Trump as well. All of this stuff to
me is just some sort of bargaining they're doing internally

(12:37):
and they're letting come out of their mouths. Nothing's gonna
stop Donald Trump from doing what the fuck he want
to do. That's true, and he will never feel like
I need to do this to be fair. Well, hey,
you know what, I wasn't gonna do this, but then
Joe Biden did a thing, so now I'm gonna do it.
I think we just need to stop entertaining that line
of thinking.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
I have one hundred percent agree, and I'm with you
about being truthful. Trump's gonna do whatever the fuck Donald
Trump is going to do. He has literally told you.
And the thing is, I believe that.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Man. It's a lot of motherfuckers still out here going, well,
it can't be that bad.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
He really is, No, I believe him. So a lot
of people are lying to themselves. They're being disingenuous with themselves,
and they're given excuse. They're giving him excuses, and then
when he comes in he does worse. They're gonna be
shocked in or surprised. And he probably can do things

(13:35):
and surprise people that go always gonna be bad, like like,
you just never know how low he can go. But
I believe he's going to do the shit he's going
to do. You're the one in Deniwal, and you're the
reason why we have to keep going back and forth
and make I don't want.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
To do that anymore. You are wasting everyone's time.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yep, all right, Michael says whenever the feedback show, here's
my feed I checked the time stamp. You two are
the goats of these two to three hour episodes. I
am one of the listeners who did hear Karen say
something that applied she was a member of the LGBTQ
plus community. I figure Karen just misspoke since I've been
listening to the show for years, but.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I know it's members of the queer community.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
I always wanting to fan cast those we love from
media as members of the community. So the comment last
week didn't surprise me. That said, I really appreciate it
both of your responses. It doesn't matter if you're queer yourselves,
you're staying with the community. As a white, queer and transperson,
always nod alone when you talk about the struggle for
my rights being intertwined with the struggle for black rights
in this country. Thanks for all you do, Thank you, Michael.

(14:35):
And yeah, you know, I just I didn't. I must
have missed whatever it was or not picked up on it.
But yeah, I think it's important that we are letting
people know, like, no, we're not we're we're not queer people.
Not that obviously that's a bad thing, but just to
be accurate, we're not necessarily queer people. But that should

(14:56):
not stop you from being educated on issues and advocate
for people. People are still part of the community, whether
they're queer or not. And I just feel like too
much of I mean, you listen, I listen to a
lot of podcasts, and I mean I don't want to
I don't want to tell people to get out of
their lane. There's a lot of people that honestly don't
have the bandwidth or ability or care and concern to

(15:17):
be even talking about these issues, And I'm not even
saying that like because I'm always get it right. I'm
not perfect, And this conversation is always changing. The landscape
is changing, the words are changing, our iconography is changed.
So there's gonna be things that I'm gonna look back
and go, oh, we didn't have to know the best
words for it then, or whatever eye evolved on this,

(15:38):
or whatever the fuck that is. I just think too
many people are afraid to stand and say like, no, this,
this is my community too, and whether the rights of
someone should not be affected by how much like me
they are, Like it shouldn't be like, well, black people

(15:58):
understand they need freedom trans people, I don't get. I
don't understand that line of thinking. I think it's very
I think a lot of people are very limited. And
not to get too hippie dippy about it, but I
think the only way out of these the cycle that
we're in in America where it's like progressed in a
bunch of hard regression and resetting in a little bit

(16:21):
of progressing back and forth, it's gonna be radical empathy
in that people are going to have to accept that
there have some commonalities in struggles with people and stop
trying to make it a pissing contest and instead just
be like, what's being done to you isn't right, and
therefore I care. Like it's not necessarily about reciprocating. It's

(16:45):
not an alliance that is formed on you do for me,
I do for you. It's not even really about that.
It's I would even say, it's not really even about community.
Sometimes right and wrong is just seeing that some shit
is wrong right, Like that should not be happening. What
what do I need to say or do or whatever
that's gonna help that not happen. It's very sad that

(17:08):
that people are so selfish, but I guess that's human too.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Yeah, that is very human too.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
And it's also you know, one of the things where
there's a lot of things and the biggest reason why
I understand a lot of things, And it's not that
I completely understand a one hundred percent understand, but I
do understand oppression.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
I like that part I get, and when.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
You work in the humanity of that oppression and that
there are people on the other side of that oppression
that are being impacted in or affected, it ain't right.
It doesn't matter if they look like you like it
does not matter, but so many people like you say
it is a who is the most oppressed contest? And
I don't give it damn about who's the most oppressed.

(17:53):
Its oppression happening to everyone. The purpose is to stop
the oppression because the preser is not going to stop.
So you know, it's like, hey, it's more of us
than them. But people don't want to look at that
because numbers matter, and people a like numbers don't matter.
Numbers matter, math maths.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, I think about how it's so I made the
assumption it kind of just innately that people who live
under oppression understand oppression. And I think what I've realized
as I've gotten older is that many people live under
oppression but do not understand it. They don't study it,

(18:36):
and they don't think of it bigger than themselves and
what it inhibits in their lives. And that's part of
the nature of oppression is to keep you fighting and
small and thinking about every hurdle you need to jump over,
and so you don't notice that everyone on the track
is jumping over hurdles. You may even resent those who
have a few less hurdles in you rather than the

(18:57):
idea of who's putting these hurdles up. That's lowering all
of our impeding all of our progress, right, And I
think that's something I really just came to see lately.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Is like when I see a.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Black person who can't understand the struggle of an immigrant,
When I see an immigrant who can't understand the struggle
of a black person in America, when I see someone
who's gay who's racist, someone who's racist.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Someone who's black but homophobic.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Those people all live under oppression of their own, but
that does not mean that they understand it. And I
think operating from there is a place where I have
lower expectations of people, but I'm able to understand people
a little bit better. Let's see, Oh Shoe Booty says,
if my Spotify rap had Drake is number one in

(19:45):
this year of our lower twenty twenty four, I would
simply be quiet about it and say I don't use Spotify.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
That's what I think happened. That's why I said, like.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Online, I feel like people that had Drake all throughout
the rap was like just not sharing it. So it
seemed like everybody had Kendrick all over the place. Because
everybody's okay with sharing that this year, but don't nobody
want to be around certified love? A boy mature young
lady says. The older I've gotten, the less enjoyable holidays

(20:12):
have been. It's the pressure that I put on myself
to make sure my loved ones have something nice. This
year has sucked and I haven't been able to go
all out like usual. I hear you on that, but
let me tell you something. Man, not to get all
Christian spirit on you, but.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
When I tell you, at the end of the day, you.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Could get people nothing and they if they fuck with you,
it don't matter. All of us understand. All of us
have gone through ups and downs. People lose jobs, people
have bills, all kinds of stuff happened. You know, some
year you just ain't in that spirit or whatever. But
I feel like this time of year, it's not about

(20:56):
what you got in your hand when you come see me.
Maybe when you're a real little kid and you just
don't understand how things work in life, but you know,
the it's not about the present the gift necessarily. It
really is about that hippy shit of the gift of
us being around each other and sharing love and community.
And I think you have to get out of that

(21:16):
headspace because you know, I think it comes from something
else normally, like that level of almost like an insecurity
of like, oh it's Christmas, I need to be like
with gift in hand. Yeah, it's definitely that too. But
like even under capitalism, there's certain people that just kind
of you understand, but it's like, hey, let's co I

(21:38):
ain't get no gifts, but we're gonna eat this chicken
or whatever. I just think it comes from somewhere, and
I just say, in your head, you start thinking like
other people are clocking me and being like, oh you
got so and so present, but now oh you spent
this much on them, but not that There might be
some people like that. There may be, but in general,

(21:58):
the vast majority of people are not like that. Kind
heart and good people are definitely not like that. And
I think if you show up with not a single
gift to give, I feel like people still gonna love
seeing you and your energy and you being around. So
I just speak I speak to that as a person
that has anxiety of my own and has done like
overperformative stuff in my past that it don't matter if

(22:22):
you stop doing it today and say I'm never doing
it for the rest of my life. People still gonna
put a smile on their face when they get that
phone call or they see you come through the door,
because the holidays are just you know, it's more about
the time and the effort to be together, you know what.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yes, And as I've gotten older, all jokes aside. As
an adult, you go up and down. I speak for myself.
I go up and down and all around over the
years about Christmas. You know about the holidays and how
I feel about them. And as you get older, you're
an adult, so you can redefine and define what your
definitions of these things are. And sometimes that means you

(23:01):
don't have to follow whatever the tradition is. You can
create your own tradition. You literally can if you choose
to and you opt to. You know, you can be like, hey,
I ain't got it this year, so I spend it.
If I don't, I don't, you know, and like it's
it's And sometimes it's very hard for people to do
because they feel pressure from family and friends and loved ones,

(23:21):
people looking at them and capitalism, and you know, they
feel I got to go in debt and all these
different things. But babe, if you ain't got it, you
just ain't got it. And that's okay. And older you get,
you'll realize what's more precious and what people remember more
is the time you spent with them why they were
here than the gift.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
They remember.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
The laughing they remember like when people pass and people
talk about at their funerals and they repass and stuff.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
The memories they bring up most of.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
The time is about situations and incidents and things like that.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
It is rarely about they gave me a gift. And
so I do one hundred percent agree with you Rogers.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
For me, as I've gotten older, I realized the thing
is the time I just enjoy sitting and laughing and
eating and joking and smiling and being around being loved
and being around people that I love. To me, that's
very very important about the holidays for me, you know.
And like I say, you can navigate this how you
want to, but this is just kind of my perspective.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
And once I started doing that, it took that pressure off.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
I didn't feel that that internal pressure, that ticking top clock.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
That I gotta get this, I gotta get this, I
got it on the list. I gotta buy people. How
do you feel about the dollars? Oh, I'm just gonna
as over.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
And then you know, January February, you got your paying
your bills down. Your credit card bills is sky high,
where you actually should have been putting that money towards
other things, you know, if your money just wasn't there
at the time. And so you know, that's kind of
how I navigated, and I realized that, you know, the
time of the year is much more enjoyable and it's
more for me.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
It was more freeing.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Eve, he says, I'm not ready for the holidays. It
just it feels like it just turned twenty twenty five
for and here we are about to enter new year.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
I feel like the older we get, the fashion.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Time singers to go. Well, that that would make sense.
The longer you've been alive, the smaller fraction of time
each day is mathematically and your perception of it can
only perceive how much you've already experienced in life with
being alive.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
So and as a kid, that drags, But.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's because you've, once again, you've not experienced much time.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
So all time that is happening feels longer.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
But anyway, not to get too deep on.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Let's see the comments for YouTube.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Let's see what we got here. Make sure I'm viewing
them all. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
God Will and God goodwill blurting, says Hey Ryder mss
Karen Rod great sports analogy. The election has been an
eye opening event, giving a window into the real content
of people's character. As Carter says, love you guys, and
I love your show as you all see fit to
do it. I understand some of these people are just
trying to show Karen appreciation, because yes, Karen, you are
me in so many ways. But stop telling these people

(26:06):
three thousand plus shows into what they need to change.
Karen and Rod know what works for them. Sit back
and Georgia show. I think that's in response to the
person that wanted to read some articles, Shorty P. Says,
regarding Biden's partners, exactly name them, because I've read a
lot of ridiculousness. Yes, Biden partners sixty five one hundred
low level drug offenders. Yeah, and we'll get to it

(26:28):
later in the week. But he also just pardoned more people,
and I look, I hope he does the preemptive parties
that people want like I'm not saying, uh, it is
it is unusual, Like people will say, it's not unusual.
That's not true. We've only had that. It's Nixon. I forget,

(26:49):
there's like another more recent one that got a preemptive party.
Then there's the Confederate Soldiers, which I disagree with being
a they should not have preemptively pardon them. And then
it's the draft Dodgers in the Vietnam. Jimmy Carter did that.
So it's not something like every president, of course preimptively parton.
But Trump is not a normal incoming president. And so

(27:10):
if you want to preemptively pardon, so give blanket pardons
to some people that will probably be target about him.
I welcome it. I think it would be a great move.
All I was saying was to me is not necessarily
the uh. It would not make people go, oh the
hunter pardon is okay. They will still act like that

(27:34):
was wrong of him to do, even knowing that he
did the same for others.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Right. And the thing about Trump that like I said
that is that is that the now thing Trump has
consistently did unprecedented shit, and when people do that, you
have to act unprecedented towards them, because hey, you're hitting
a new level, so we've got to hit a new level.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
And while telling you he's gonna do it. So like,
how much of the problem with Trump has been people
just not believing he's gonna do what he tells him
they're gonna do he's gonna do because they're like, oh, no,
he wouldn't possibly, and.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Then he turned out to be wrong. It's like, now
we all paying.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
The price, right right, right, And it becomes very very
h frustrating.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
Yes, ah shit jinks.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
It becomes very frustrating, very irritating when you know he's
doing these things and people go, hey, you he's doing
extraordinary thing, so we need to extraordinary towards him, and everybody.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Going no, no, no no, And I'm.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Like, well, bitch, like you say, now we have to
the consequences of us not responding beforehand.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Right, all right, look back to this every time. Karen says, right,
I feel that in myself, says quiet Storm. Jay Hot says,
the glow trit analogy really really fits. Yeah, I should
have submitted I gotta submit that to our people's uh uh, sorry,
I got a little lazy this week. Guys got behind.
But yeah, thank you for the comments on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
The poe was are you ready for the holidays?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Or I don't celebrate the holidays?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Forty six percent say yes, forty two percent say no,
twelve percent say I don't celebrate the holidays. All right,
let's go into the next one. But I'm gonna play
a beat in case we need to decide to make
some money at some point. That's why I'm sitting here.

(29:42):
I just realized I never uploaded Chris Lamborth episode to YouTube.
Oh no, some of a bitch.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
I know.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
I was.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Something was bothering me all week and I couldn't.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
You couldn't put your finger on it.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
I did everything else around the podcast, but that.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Sorry Chris, It'll be up. It'll be up soon.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, god damn boy.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Sorry you two people.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Anyway, porn Hub Jack was our next episode. We had
seven comments. Let's get to it. Apia says, I'm glad
you enjoyed the five K event and are now the
ones doing walkaganda. I think moving around on your feet
always gives you a new perspective and I always feel
better afterwards in my body and my brain. And it's free.
Just put on some comfortable clothes, and you're all set.
If an industry plant was really a thing, the industry

(30:30):
would try to play Artists who are easy to control,
have no demands or controversial views appear to the masses.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
I think that's how they get you out here.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
At this point, when we're hundreds of years of industry
plants into the game, you don't insert somebody that everyone
like like just thinks like, oh, they only want good things.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Nah, people are too cynical.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
You want to go with the person that's a bit
of a hot ride to the point where we're like,
how come? But if they're everywhere, they must be the best, right,
because how can Andrew Schultz be so controversial? But he's
everywhere and everyone fucks with him. The second part of
this is the contra The views aren't actually controversial, they're

(31:17):
the views that.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
The status quote would like to be.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Like.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
So if you if you were telling me, Rod.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
What would an industry plant look like in the in
the industry and why would they be there? So obviously,
and I'm not saying I believe this, This is just
my for those who do believe it. Why is Andrew
Schultz not the person you think is an industry plant,
is all I'm saying, Because think about it, what would
you want what would you want your status quot views
to be? Probably conservative points of view. That's what Andrew

(31:45):
Schultz espouses. That's what makes him quote unquote controversial having
Trump on this platform, uh, picking on black people and
people different races and gay people lbgt Q community.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Those are not controversial views.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Really, They're the status quo view being pushed from a
person that seems to be a culture leader and also controversial.
You know, it's just it's just how do we think
about controversy? Because I think in a world where Donald
Trump won the popular opinion a poll of America called voting,
I don't know that we get to say it's controversial anymore.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
To have the views of these type of guys.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Even Room of the Rapper or Vacuum who also raps,
trademark enter Room of the Rapper, okay ye, After his concert,
he cleans up the mask that was mess that was created,
goes to the loading station, chills out to the next gig.
No controversy here, ever, I do like Room of the Rapper.
That's smart. You should trademark that. Don't get into a
deal with Raphael about it. No, okay, do the deal

(32:50):
by yourself. Make sure you get some German paperwork on it.
So that's not that because you don't know what Ronan.
Raphael gona try to get you to sign something that
he wrote down on a napkin.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Don't do that.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
This is a three hundred and sixty degree deal. Don't
sign right.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
He's gonna own your kids by the end of it
and ship. Yes, but you need to do that. Room.
But the rapper toys for boys, We're gonna we're gonna
sell it to him. Uh, follow him for killer tracks
like my life is trash circles, I run on electricity, Raphael?
Can we do this?

Speaker 6 (33:19):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (33:19):
You know he got you know damn it.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Was sad she had I am for a little bit,
but we're trying to stay. If you probably in jail now,
ain't shit out. He probably hacked her account. He pretended
to be her in the chat.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
But this is yeah, this is him right now.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Eric says, ticket secure. Some folks won't get gifts this year,
but fuck it, I'm gonna see Rody Carro just last.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Just last.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
In the last podcast, she was like, hey, uh, I
don't give people gifts. I still feel terrible every Christmas.
She's like, well, fuck them gifts, going to see my
food and this is about me. Listen, kids, I'm telling
you your presence is a present. Ain't no up and
just they need to be excited that you showed up. Yes, sir, Okay,
Also fuck them kids. Okay, I don't know them.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
I know you, we know you.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
They ain't never met us in no public before. Miss
Barr says, yep. If you see me whole strolling, just
know it's all in the name of tickets to Rod
and Karen show. Oh my, not not on the stroll.
You know what I see ya think I'm a mom
my business. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna bother you. Ms.
Barnes says, congratulations on your first five K riding, Karen,

(34:30):
thank you. Sean says congratulations on your five k in
terms of walking and talking. The data does not suggest
any natural gender or sex based differences.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Okay, okay, data from star Trek.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Sean Sean coming in with the voking Sean got to
be part of voking.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yes, the data does not suggest natural gender.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
I've crushed the numbers.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
In fact, Aristotle used to give lectures while walking around
campus with his students walking in the line behind them.
It is mainly issue of breath control and getting accustomed
to it. For example, when I first was when I
was first leading Marshall Excite at martial arts style AB
aerobics program, I had difficulty maintaining one hundred percent effort
while speaking and remembering to mirror. But it got easier

(35:16):
over time. If you want to be able to walk
and talk at.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
The same time, just practice.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
That is the most literal response to a joke.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
I'm trying to huff you out. Run all right, you
can walk and talk.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
I said, women have a you believe I thought women
have an extra long I don't think women have an
You never know. I know you know what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
I know you know what you're doing. The show is
already five hours every Saturday.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Got time for.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Your troller, he says Andrew Schultz.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
It's the ultimate dictum Uh, someone who plays a victim
that was really a dick who calls the drama in
the first place. Everything I've learned about this guy has
been against my will. But I've heard clips of him
calling other people victims, and now look at him wide
and over supposed death threats. Yep, he's like, yeah, it's
he's like I said, show me what's controversial about his views.
He's giving you the status quo piece of shit, views

(36:19):
that many people have, and somehow it's being platformed and
co signed by black people that other that call out
other people. Someone wrote into our premium show and reminded me,
I'm so glad they did. How Van Lathan took emanual
Accho to task for his comments about like black women's
Chicari Richardson or whatever. And then his buddy Andrew Shows

(36:42):
does some wild shit and now it's like he's never
had to think about something like this before. I can't
believe it. It's you know, it's this This dude, Andrew
Shows seems to be a dick, and that seems to
be his brand. He don't get to be a dick
and be the person that's a victim while the crying
everyone else being a victim. You know, like the idea

(37:04):
of you being like I said, I was gonna rape
somebody as a joke and people are saying they're threatening
me online. Well maybe they're joking. You missed the controversy. Remember,
you think everything else got rules. You know what, if
you scare for real foul of police, report against them,
people take them to court. Stop trying to be the
win public opinion over with this. I mean nothing, but

(37:26):
also I mean everything at the same time. Bullshit.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
It's greedy.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
The second a troll gets the same energy back. They
always claiming they received death threats, and I don't beleive them.
It's probably just people talking on the internet. He's a
clown and Charlemagne is a coon. Along with the black
woman who said that dramatic Oh my god, where Andrew
was whining? I was like, Sis, aren't you embarrassed? Yeah?
I don't know her like that, But I have a
personal belief there's a certain type of podcast where a

(38:00):
dude goes and gets a woman co hosts normally that
they are not like a bit. It's a business relationship,
meaning these are not like friends who started a podcast.
This is not a couple who started a podcast. It's
more like a and you know, I've been in the
podcast game for a while, so I know some of
this shit is like literally they do they do auditions,

(38:24):
they have you work with the people, they bring people back,
that you're both getting paid like it's a job. It's
a job, and I think there's a certain type of
brother and it also goes white man too, But since
we're talking about this space, I think there's a certain
type of brother that goes and gets him a sister
on the show that she's just there for.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
When I do say fucked.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Up shit, she don't get offended and she won't check
me because we're not equals. We're not sharing this platform.
I'm her better, I'm her boss. My name is on
the marque, I own the company. You're here as an employer.
If you leave, the show goes on without you, I'll
find it out, Blamp.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
I can replace you in a heartbeat.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
And I think there are certain brothers in the game
who go get these black women. And it's not that
these women aren't competent. It's not that they may I'm
not even calling them coons, like this is not disparaging them.
They're there's the employee, not really the boss in many
of these cases, and they kind of have to play
this game of you just said something fucked up, and

(39:27):
my job is not to call you out. And we're
not friends and we're not equal, and it always comes
to a head. We always see it, and most of
the time the women en up quitting. We've seen it
many times with Joe Budden. We can't really keep women
co hosts in that chair very often because he always
freaks out or crashes out at some point and it
just jumps out of him and you're like, oh, that

(39:49):
really is a woman. You kept taking arrows and slights
and arrows until you so full of arrows now and
no one respects you.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
I think it happens with Charlemagne a lot, you know,
where he's had the entire women podcast on this network,
but they're not really there to complete like it's not
an equal relationship. It's not really like I'm considering your
opinion in that way.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
When it comes to certain topics.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
And so I think this happens all the time, and
that might explain some of the silence from people that
are like black women in the room while we're talking
about black women being the ones who were targeted about
this dude, and Charlemagne's changing the topic to Drake and
the woman is going, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
But never giving her opinion.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Oh yeah, don't matter.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, the oh my God is why she's there.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
So I don't. Like I said, I don't know what
to make of people like that, because I'm not. We've
seen some people who are pretty intelligent and principled, but
they took them jobs, and those are jobs in the
industry that people need. So I'm like, you know, I
remember Howard Stern and Robin used to be like that
to me. Well, I was like, she's just there so
that when he said some racist, when he said some

(41:02):
sex is misogynistic, she's there to either like give a
little bit of a oh bad boy type vibe or
to act like it's not a problem. And it's a
special type of woman that can even have that role,
right like most a lot of women, a lot of
people that have marginalized you can't even have a role
because they're gonna go too far one day and you're
gonna stand up for yourself or your people, and now
you ain't got no job because the job is not

(41:24):
you checking them.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
No oh no, no, no no. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
You have to put your ego and all that shit
to decide in order to even get the job.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Yeah. The comments, let's get to them on YouTube. Those
are all of them on our site. People who love
the dish can really take it, says done a t o.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Miss Sule says, or Miss Suele.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Says, proud of you guys completing in your five K.
It was sixty degrees here last Sunday and hour actually
got the walk and at one point felt like running
after three years and actually did.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Oh that's dope.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Jazzie Sunflower says that Eric Adam commentary was spot on.
Thank you, Shorty P one thousands says, don't why do
you want a mediation regarding an alleged criminal act? That
said criminal court is a higher bar than civil There
are photos of j being at a whole other after party.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
We'll see how it shakes out.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Tony buzby strategy is to make vague allegations to later
add whomever he.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Thinks fits to build.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah. I mean, look, I have all the same questions
as you, but at the same time, those questions will
be answered as more stuff comes forward. And I never
really like to harp on guilt or innocence of something
like that and the immediacy of it, unless the allegations
are so preposterous that it's like, oh, this person is
just crazy. So I can't even get into But what

(42:44):
I will say is this. I think a lot of
times even when people are when people are telling the
truth and maybe they don't have all the evidence to
back them, a lot of the times, the reason you
make these lawsuits allegations is that if it is a
pattern of behavior, other people who may also have the same,

(43:05):
Like I don't know if I can prove my case
come forward. And if we were at Saturday today and
jay Z had been accused of seven more by seven
more people, I feel like we'd all be like, Oh,
I don't know, I think. So that's the reason I'm
not you know, I'm not going to just assume the
worst of just the allegation, because I just I don't

(43:27):
know these people and what they're capable of. But I
have common sense, and it's to court a public opinion.
My opinion isn't really law. It's not going to change anything.
If I was on a jury and they started showing
me other evidence that I wasn't privy to, I'd be
willing to change my mind. But all that being said
is it's been a few days and more information has
come out about this accuser, and it is not looking

(43:50):
like it's starting to look like there's some holes in
the story, and we're going to see if this even
goes to try out or case because and like I said,
I don't I go into the drift with no allegiance,
no lawalty, just hey this, we'll see what the facts
bear out.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
We will see so.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
We'll find out. Uh, all right.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
The next one is Calibra cali br Mike says, my
porn hub Jack description would be triple Crown three some
thruggle compilation thumper your average watch time six. Yeah, that's hilarious.
Oh man, that poor hub Jack would be telling some stories, man,

(44:37):
just saying, and those would be results. I think people
would want to share because I always feel like people
share the not the PG version, but the acceptable version
of what they can share about porn. Like like, so
if you say milf or whatever, that maybe you are
in the mill form whatever whatever. There's something else belief

(45:01):
milf that you ain't talking about.

Speaker 4 (45:02):
Yeah, the subsection of the subsection of the subsection. People go,
how did you get all the way down now?

Speaker 1 (45:07):
And poor hud be telling the truth on us as
a as a group, but do it be but individually,
I don't know if we're already for our individual truth.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Ace it would be too, it would be a lot.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
AC says the one percent talking taking out the one
percent sound like an ad for Mickey D's Starbucks.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
And City Bike.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Chill Guy says, thank you for calling out the whole
short situation. He's been trying to get that rogan artist
and thinks he's edgy, slashed provocative, but he's neither. Uh
spiv major just left for three stars and three heart
emojis and the thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
We'll take that.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
The poll for this episode is have you ever done
an official five K or longer? Fifty three percent said yes,
Forty six percent have not. Uh, which you know that's
pretty close.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
That's physically active people out there.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Yeah, you guys were getting it in.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Thirty twenty Hot Frosty we got five comments on this.
Let's see and says the Church's Chicken in my neighborhood
closed down and was replaced by Popeye's Chicken in the
same location, So good things do happen when you least
expect him to.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
MS barn that's an upgrade.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
MS Barne says, the only time that I was stuck
watching a holiday rom com was the time that me
and my sister spent Thanksgiving in Savannah, Georgia. A couple
of years ago, my sister hijacked the TV. I had
no choice but to watch every god forsaken holiday rom
com on the Hallmark Channel because she loves them. In
true holiday rom com fashion, we did not stay in
a hotel.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
We stayed in the Bed and Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
We walked the city and had Thanksgiving dinner in a nice,
quiet and quaint restaurant. The adult kid in me wanted
to blast my Wou tang with anime or snapped playing
in the background. The only upside was that we discovered
a bar behind our Bed and Breakfast where our bartender
had me falling off the bar stool flat blasted flat,
flat blasted drunk, and the BnB where the bar was

(47:01):
may or may not have been haunted. All I have
to say that holiday rom coms are okay. Oh sounds
like quite the adventure. Mary says. First of all, I
did also listen to your Spoiled Movie review on this
and it's the first time I've listened to that particular
premium show.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
And wow, I've.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Been missing out the opening rival the balls deep open Loop.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
That's your daddy. They kill O Yeller.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Anyway, I enjoyed this episode and found it interesting to
hear Russell's insight into how the rom comm genre is
expanded and allowing for different stories. Romance in general is
a huge business and books have all sorts of subgenres likemance,
romanticy and reverse hairm exactly what you think it is.
These type of films can get looked down on by

(47:43):
film snobs, but it's good on this hard good honest
work as far as I'm concerned. It's nice people in
a nice storyline that serves a distraction at hard times. Also,
as someone who lives in La not everyone who is
in the entertainment business during Tom Cruise films or making
that kind of money. Lots of everyday people in the business.
He will make a decent living at the types of films.
So I'm all for keeping people employed.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Espread and joy me too.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
Me too.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
And for a lot of people, they this is their
checkout out of reality, like it's life. A lot of
them is their happy place, you know, and that's okay.
And the thing is I feel like that about these
I feel like that about Tyler Perry movies, Like there
are certain things where people go. This is where I
go for my joy, you're my fun or whatever, my
scary movies, whatever your thing is. It's a former entertainment

(48:27):
and it's a form of escapism from like the world.
And so the thing is they don't have to be good.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
You know.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Everybody think everything has to be Shakespearean or or else
just fucking it shouldn't be made, and that's not true.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
Sometimes you know, you go, this is enjoyable.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
It just a scratch, and I'm satisfied with it no
matter how many of these come out, and it's okay.
You don't have to watch it if it's not your jam,
but if it is, yes, and I do agree with
the with the writer.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
Yeah, everybody, I said, everybody ain't making billions out of
the movie. He's like, so somebody has to make these movies.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Eve says I had no desire to see Hot Frosty
before this episode, but I'll definitely check it out now.
I do like cheesy Christmas movies. The ones on Netflix
are pretty decent. Rona Raphael says Hot Frosty reminds me
of naughty thoughts, but we're all God's children, so I'll
return back to Earth. But every time I say it
I've just start smiling in a sexy, perfect way. I

(49:27):
wonder why anyway, I'm watching this movie this weekend. Love
the conversation about writing the movies in general. I see
a Blade coming, but what about Blade killing vampires and
a cold, icy Land. Now, I'll drink some glue en
to that hot frosty. I could also set up a
trip to Greenland too. Really enjoyed Russell. But oh, let

(49:49):
me check the comments on YouTube, which these will be
the last one since I forgot to upload that shit.
Jason says, a podcast featuring a white dude and a
duke blue devil's cap, and I loved every minute of it. Clearly,
I'm on the path to selling out. That's how it happens.
That's why I can't take Rush seriously when he's against
the Marvel movie industry but wearing the most evil corporation

(50:13):
hat on the screen at the same time. I used
just says this was delightful and Rod looked so festive.
Thank you. No one ever really comments I'm the only
one to go out the way to give y'all looks.
On this podcast, Karen just wraps up in her blanket
and covers everything up and only give you like the
shoulders and up. I'm willing to give y'all like cool shirts,

(50:34):
but very rarely do I get comments on my cool
shirts or stuff. So I appreciate it the.

Speaker 4 (50:42):
Way.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Yeah, that sounds like a judgment, but whatever. I just
like to put on the show for the people. And
so I had my Christmas hat on and is chrislin
Christmas sweater? And so I did that for y'all so
that we can all have a fun time together. And
I'm glad that lead. One person was like, I appreciate that,
Rod did that the pole. Do you watch Christmas rom coms?

(51:07):
Yes or no? Fifty one percent, yes, forty eight percent No.
I actually think this is very hot. I do not
watch them. This is like my first time really watching one,
and it's because my friend wrote it. And I don't
think I would be able to just get into this
genre period like all the time. But wow, that is
a lot more people than I thought watch this, which

(51:30):
explains why they make so many and have so many
every year.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
Which explains the Hallmark Channel. People do not understand. It's
a whole fucking channel that's got them dedicated to this shit.
Three hundred and sixty five days a year. They all
ain't Christmas in but the premise is the same. We're
doing this summer, winter, spring, and fall, like they don't
have a whole lass channel because nobody's watching the shit.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Yeah, we're all. It's funny because we're all like we
all are being served and we dismiss each other's thing. Right,
So like men watch unlimited amounts of NFL football. It
doesn't matter how bad or as it is, what day
they move it to, just watch it, right, And yet

(52:15):
if someone were to be like you spend on time
watching it's like, shut your ass up, you hater. But
we'll shit on people openly that watch those holiday movies,
like these are bad movies and you're just wasting times.
Like if it's your shit, is your shit. I've watched
a lot of bad football because of the jersey attached
to the team, and like I just got to watch it.
Maybe people like I'm gonna watch this this Christmas movie,

(52:37):
maybe to be good, maybe to be bad, but whatever,
I spent my time watching it the same way you
spend your time watching the Panthers or whoever.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
And I feel like that about a lot of shit.
My thing is, if you like it. I love it,
I really need it. And I think instead of just judging, going,
oh you like that, you love that, as long as
it makes you happy, You're not hurting no nobody. I'm good.
And the same thing with people playing video game going
to the movies, like, whatever your thing is, that you
spend time doing it because you only got a limited

(53:07):
amount of time here, so you might as well do
the things that you enjoyed while you're.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Here, all right.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
The last episode of the week is Jesus James, where
we had Chris Lamberthon episode thirty twenty one, Ernest dot
com says esteemed public intellectuals just wanted to say thank
you for making me think about Jalil White and how
every black boy with glasses of a certain age, self
included got called erkele. Honestly, I want to thank him
because I know it was his popularity that got me

(53:33):
cast in the factler role in a theme park police
academy stunt show my senior summer of my senior year
in high school. That was way more money than I
was making that as a show technician. So so as
sick as I wasn't hearing at school, I was about it.
On Payday. I ain't that the truth didn't last long
in that show, but I'm not trying to hijack your
podcast stories of fell teenage stunt man. I just wanted

(53:56):
to say good looking out to Jalil ever, even if
he ever sees this, though I hope he does because
he deserves to have a good black ass time with
the rest of us. Love y'all, thanks for the show.
Shout out to chat room shout out. Tommy D says
that raising Cane saut story got my memories coming back.
In the beginning of the pandemic, I went to the
Panda Express drive through for chicken karaokee. I get back

(54:19):
home and there was no sauce on it like there
was supposed to be. I put my pants back on,
went back and showed there was no sauce. The window
person explained that because of the new store regulations, they
don't pour it on, but it comes in package. They
told me I had to pay for the sauce as
if it was extra. She tried to make excuses and
that sometimes people don't want the sauce. I told her, Madam,

(54:40):
if I ordered chicken karaokee, I expected to have karaokee sauce.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Thee before it did, she thought for a split second
and said, you right.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
I got three packags instead of the standard two, and
I didn't even have to yell logic one today for once.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Good for y'all. Good could have ended badly.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
Right, It's like it's chicken Terarry.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
And my thing is if you don't want to tell
them on the side, like the fuck serve it together.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
At list it wasn't chicken tetrazini.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
Oh I'm glad of when't that?

Speaker 1 (55:11):
That's only for that jokes for like one person, if
they still listen to the show, if they still listen,
as Michelle.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
If you're out there, that was for you. Apia says
interesting to hear this.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
His perspective on dating, as I always expect men to
have an easy experience. Hope I will never have to
date again, even if it can be fun. I'm happily
married to the introverted mister Apia. Well, I mean that,
you know, if that's not something you want, then that's
that's good that you have.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
You know that you're happy, you know, I'll.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
And just hearing people, it don't matter who you are.
It is hard out there for a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Yeah, I'm sure. I mean dating has always been a
thing as hard, but I feel like in this age
of intimate connections with no intimacy, when it comes to
the way we connect online for so much, I can
imagine it's a very treacherous situation for folks. Ms Bard says,

(56:07):
if you are on the dating apps, you were entitled
to compensation. God bless anyone that is still on the
dating apps. I'm happy that Chris is having a good
experience on the apps, even he says, I don't think
what Jolie White said was that agreedous, But I think
people are ried up over his past comments. There's this
revisionist history, as if we weren't watching Family Matters every
Friday night, because most black people I know are still

(56:28):
asked what happened to Judy? Asking what happened to Judy
when she went up those stairs and we all remember
Stepan or Keroll, Stevens Alter ego. Yeah, that's what I said.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
When i I'm not.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
I don't remember his past comments, but the response to
what he was saying made me and I think I
added that caveat when we talked about it, and fucking
with black people was this feels like maybe he said
some other shit and then people are like, eh, and
also we don't like you. You ain't shit anyway, so

(56:59):
that we gonna hold this against you two. I've never
been to Raising Knes either, but they're opening one down
the road for me this January, so I'll find out
for myself if it's good or not. But I can
understand about not getting the sauce. I was at Taco
Bell this week and asked for hot sauce. The lady
gave me one packet, as if they were rationing that
shit out. I was so pissed. But then I went

(57:20):
into my condiment drawer at home and I had some
extra Taco Bell sauce in there. I think that's a
universal Black experience right there. Yep, I got some. Always.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
Yeah, we always hold on to it. And you know that.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
The thing is what's so crazy about that is like
they buy them in fucking palette, you know what I'm saying.
So it's like, hey, dog, like it don't it don't matter,
you know. But I'm pretty sure if somebody tells the
person that ain't gonna get yelled out, tells the person
who's gonna get yelled at that they have to charge
fifty five cents. A lot of times they just scared
to say something. They you know, they were like, well,

(57:53):
it's gonna be like like I can literally see them
frightening in their eyes. But I'll pay for it, like
i'm because if I ask you and I understand, I
don't want to make it get difficult for either party.
So sure I paid a fifty cent, I paid a
dollar for the extra sauce. And their relief is like, really, yes, bitch, really,
I didn't ask you for no reason.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
Now go get the fucking sauce. I'm paying for it now.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
So now so now if you get an add to me,
because now you've got to go do your job, I'm
gonna get mad dig because I'm like, well, I'm paying
for the shit you tell me, you're gonna charge me
for it.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
Go get it.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
I think.

Speaker 6 (58:24):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
The advanced level is also you have to I now
have other sauces too, so like if I can get
my hands on like an extra Chick fil A Polynesian sauce,
keeping it, you know what I'm saying, And if you
really want to be greedy like I am, they're in
certain areas they're selling in the stores sauces. Chick fil

(58:47):
A has store sauces in the store. Bojangles now has sausage.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
In the store. Do and I love that Bojangles. Them
sauces be hitting. I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
I don't know what kind of whole MSG mercury transfer
they got in there. They got the recipe just right, yeah,
Ronan Raphael. Oh, and then full disclosure. I have to
Justin's pulling up. I have to give him the some
DVDs for.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Screening so we can review movies.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Okay, so when he gets to the door, I may
have to leave for a second. But you just want
to give everybody heads up. Well, we'll have Careen tell
y'all a story from her childhood or some shit. Ronan
Raphael says, I used to be on them dating apps.
Crazy thing was that they never met the Ronan Raphael.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Just as Raphael said.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
In Spanish, Raphael, I got a lot of terrible advice
for my early days in America, and I applied going
in from cousins, shipmates and folks that I'll never once
myself asked myself, do I like.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Where they are in their relationships?

Speaker 1 (59:49):
So of course it was the women's fault, and I
began to doubt myself. I always swallowed the red pills,
but I almost swallowed the red pills. But as the
last second, my future self showed up and said, you're
going to defend the middle name, snap out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
So I humbly ask two.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Of my favorite lesbian friends to look at my profile
on one of the apps. After shaking their heads and
laughing for what felt like eternity, they cleaned my profile
up and pick photos that made me look sexier and
no longer like candey man.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Y'all don't know why men take that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
One photo that looks like what it would look like
if a man was strangling you, especially.

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
Black men, your wholest.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Especially black men who do not smile. Karen, go ahead
and take it from here. I'll be right back, no problem.
And those and it's men of a certain age. It's
like they take the camera up undneath they nose, so
all I'm seeing is your flaired ass nostrils.

Speaker 4 (01:00:40):
It don't make no sense.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
It's like, damn, go to a photo shoot or something,
or get some woman in your life. What you know,
because one of them things where you know, if I'm
on an app I'm like, damn, nigga, smile.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
Unless your teeth missing us some shit, smile.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Don't nobody want no picture some grumpy ass man looking
at them.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
You know that's the almost that's very creepy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
I understand you trying to be cool, but guess what.
I'm not your boy, I'm not your dog. You're trying
to have sex with me, So I mean, at least
appear friendly. Damn, you're scaring the holes in your photos
and then be like, ain't nothing. Ain't nobody swiping on me? No, nigga,
that's whining about swiping on you on me. It looked

(01:01:25):
like you're standing over the top of me trying to
choke me. Their end is going to be a problem.
So shout out to you fan for having somebody be like, hey,
you got to get better photos.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
I'm always telling brothers smiling they picks anyway. I don't
know why. I'm sure some.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Type of racialized trauma or slavery. I don't know why
black men don't smiling their photos. So a lot of
times the photos men think they look good and are
these like either these like like they look hard, like
I just got out of jail, and I'm like, you know,
damn sure that's some women. You know, I'm not saying
it's nobody's, but unless you like, you know, a supermodel

(01:02:06):
ass nigga or something. I don't know why you're not
smiling to look inviting and pleasant, like maybe you're laughing
at a joke, like it might be a good time
to be around, right, instead of that one angle of
the picture that men always take that look like like
this shit right here. Yet they love that photo like
that shit just look like you punched me and I'm
trying to get back conscious and you're looking down like

(01:02:28):
like the like one of the people that do reenactments
in a murder uh murder show or something.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
They love that photo and don't be knowing how to
crop shit out the background.

Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
You'd be like, what is we doing here, nigga? I
could see the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
Top of the refrigerating with the cereal box. At least
take it. Take your picture against the wall that's white
or something. It's like, come ont. They'd be like, y'all
do too much. That's because we're trying to be inviting.
You know, you want women to be sexy, but you
don't want to be sexy for us. Come about not
like that don't make no sense. Come on, you be

(01:03:01):
too busy trying to do shit for.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
Your boys, like what happened to I think that's one
of the reasons that the people that do the ship
where they do the like holding a fish or you
know what I'm saying, like that pick like at least
you're doing something, and not only if you're holding a fish,
you are smiling, like look at this fish I caught.

Speaker 4 (01:03:19):
It's accomplishment.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
Yeah, Like that's that's dope compared to you know, these
these profiles where it's just like, uh, here is a
person angry. Yeah, here's a person that just got away
with this is like what OJ looked like immediately after.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
So just angry, like you're about to cuss me out,
No thank you, I was swipe whatever left then no thing.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
But yeah, having some especially like people that have an
eye for like what women would see and trying to
pull a woman. That's that's like that's the hookup shot
to having lesbian friends.

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
Yeah, and it's also not ting funny And maybe it's
just me as a woman. Men standards are like super low,
Like it's like I can come in here, look in
any old fucking way. I gotta dig, bitch, so take it.
And women are like, at least have some standards. They're like,
why I got the right to your pussy? And that's
what the problem is, in my opinion for a lot
of shit because they don't feel like a lot of
men don't feel like they need to put in the effort.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Let's see, uh I have to shay. Yeah, game changer.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
I was going on dates messing up, but on my
own terms, men get you a woman friend or a
gay friend to fix your profile. See a run in
this cheerful giver and still want gives back to this community.
Play black capitalists right. No, The poem was are you
on dating apps? Yes? Or no? Eighty nine percent of

(01:04:39):
our artists is not eleven percent is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Which I don't know if now I need to know,
like is the percentage people being like man, fuck this shit?
Or is a percentage just like man, I'm happy or whatever,
like I'm not looking in general or what?

Speaker 4 (01:04:55):
Yeah, it's gonna be interested.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
I would love to see over the past maybe five
de seven years that trend, because at one period of time,
I think these numbers will hire. But as people begin
to get on these apps. And as these apps begin
to do things to make them where you consistently pay
a monthly fees to have access and shit like that,
a lot of people are like, I'm paying for it,

(01:05:17):
but I'm still having a hard time, So why am
I paying you, you know, for the service? So I
could I could see the trend going down and and
not and maybe just me, I could see, particularly people
of a certain age, going, I've tried it because that's
what everybody said you're supposed to do, and but some
people it just don't fit them. They go, these apps
don't fit whatever I'm desiring.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
I think also like we now know the pitfalls and
things like when things are new that pinched just like
the perfect thing, especially technology, and oh bitcoin is gonna
solve this, and NFTs are gonna do that, and dating
apps are gonna do this, and Uber's gonna get rid
of it, like help you get rid of the racism
and taxi And then you do that long enough, you
realize people are people and they're still gonna find a

(01:05:59):
way that for suck. And I wonder if, like through
the souring on social media generations growing up with Instagram
and oversharing, are like, I don't want to make my
dating electronic as well on the same Internet that people
make me feel inadequate already when they post a slim
tummy tee or whatever fuck pictures.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
And also over the years that these apps are kind
of marketed towards us differently, because when the apps first
came out, they was literally everywhere. When it was the
last time that I can't even remember the last time
I've actually seen a dating app on like red Lass TV,
Like you might see them every now and then, but
nothing how it used to be. It used to be
like everywhere mingle meet people you know, used to consistently

(01:06:43):
see the apps. But over time they they spend the
advertising money, but I don't think they spend they spending
a different places. So you're talking about commercials, yes, yeah,
I agree, yeah, because before that's why that's not.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
As many of those commercials.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
Right, And that's why I think that with that decrease in.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
That boom boom boom, they're going to other places where
the people are. And so I could see them saying
if everything is online while we're targeting people in the
demographic as TV, when these people are are online.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
Right, all right, let's get into voicemails for the show.
We got one person, Nikki, who left two voicemails.

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
Hey Roddick, Karen, it's Nicole or Niki whatever. So just
gotten done listening to the episode with Chris Lambert and
the whole entire You're a Little White thing. I did
listen to the audiobook. I just finished it a couple
of days ago, and I'm not gonna lie. The reason
why I went to go listen to it is because

(01:07:46):
it's because of the things I was seeing about him
on TikTok, like saying that, because you know how the
whole entire rumor thing is, he is a diva and
he's difficult to work with and he's like this and
blah blah blah. In that they're like, oh, yeah, the book,
he's just he's being a diva in the book, and
you know, and like, you know, kind of like you

(01:08:06):
know some things of like kind of being like anti black,
you know what I mean. And so me, you know,
I do my own investigations in plus Spotify because he's
fifteen hours of free audiobooks a month with opreim description.
So listening to the book and hearing I didn't watch
the whole entire you know, talk he did. But from
the context of the book and what he said, that's

(01:08:29):
how I know people didn't read the book or that's
how I like, you know, cause it's like he wasn't
talking about black people. If you actually, if you go
back and listen to his book, he is very like,
he's very black. He talks about like everyone he talks
about hanging out with, we're mainly black. And I want
to go look it up on Wikipedia. Most of the
girlfriends that is mentioned on Wikipedia, they're all white women.

(01:08:52):
But well, who cares, you know what I mean. So
he's not anti black, he's not putting down black people.
He talks about that talks about going to UCLA and
making sure to go to every you know, black student
union concert. So it's very interesting seeing what people are
saying and their reaction when in context. Are you know

(01:09:14):
you didn't read the book, did you? You just going
off of excerpt? But the internet will Internet. So yeah,
that's why I have to say hi, by Oh, I'm
this is Niki againn I'm sorry for leaving another message.
If I just wanted to say something real quick, you know, like,
you know, black design and monoliths. I'm a suburban black girl.
I didn't have where I lived, there were no black people.

(01:09:36):
We were literally the fully black people. When I tell
white people what city, I what town I grew up in,
or yeah, there's a city or whatever, the KKK was
living there till the KKK had rallies until like nineteen
eighty one. And I grew up in southern California, and
that the city I grew up in, and it's also
known for the Health Angels, and they did build terminator
in the city I grew up in. But you know,

(01:09:57):
growing up as a suburban black girl, and probably didn't
help that I married a white German guy. But like, yeah,
I you know, sometimes there are black people out there
who judge not all black people. There's a small, i'll
say a small percentage of black people who judge my
blackness on that I didn't grow up in poverty. Like
basically they're like, oh, you don't know what it's like
to be black because you ain't never been without food,

(01:10:18):
you ain't never been on food stamps. I'm like, uh,
majority of black people I know are not in poverty,
So why is that? Why is that the marker for
blackness because sometimes people do that. But for the most part,
I'll be honesty. By the time I got to high
school's more there's more black people, and I felt seen.
It was a very great experience. But most of the time,

(01:10:39):
even now, most of my friends are black. What they
normally say about me is this, They're like, you come
off like you know that you probably like Hillary Banks,
that you're very you know, like maybe Siditi just like
looking at you. But they're like, you are ghetto as hell.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I just do know how to
code switch very well. So so. But yeah, so I
get like when you know, uh Jillo what he's saying.

(01:11:01):
But there are some black people Candye Sowans who grew
up in the all white suburbs, and I don't know
what happened to them. They lost souls. I do know,
you know with the high school some girls like that.
That wasn't me. My family was black as fuck and
my parents is black, and I just have to fun
over the white German guy.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
But yeah, yeah, I think as a rule of thumb,
I just try to go by if you're not disparaging
black people, I'm not. I am leaving the dating stuff
off limits. I know other people don't do that. I
know there's a lot of weird to me, weird conflation

(01:11:41):
of macro and micro with someone marries a white person
and then people want to like throw them out of
blackness or question their commitment to blackness, right, And we
recently saw and it doesn't like extend to just athletes
or celebrities. I saw people saying this about Nikki Giovanni,

(01:12:02):
who passed this week. My favorite poet, you know, or
she's up there, probably my favorite poet. She, her work,
her thoughts, her integrity was dedicated to blackness in so
many respects. We were always on her mind as a

(01:12:23):
people and as part of herself. And to say, when
she passes, here's a picture of her and her wife
and it's a white woman, and have people actually question
her commitment to blackness.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Racism has us all so fucked up?

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
It does?

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
It has also fucked up someone can and like I said,
it doesn't. All I'm saying is the Venn diagram is
in a complete circle. There are people who are like
I refuse to day a black person, and to me,
that does feel racist. I don't know how you justify
that without saying it's some level of racism. But there

(01:13:03):
are also people who, as you said, the people in
their dating pool were the people they were around, and
they just happen to be white. There's also this sort
of this sort of like child of no One thing
that happens to black people in America because of racism,
and it's not their fault. And what I mean is

(01:13:26):
it is really highlighted. Well. Howard Bryant in one of
his books, really highlighted it. I think it's called The
Lost Generation is the chapter and it's from Full Dissident,
which is a great book, but he kind of highlighted
how black parents seeking to be good black parents a

(01:13:46):
lot of times have to move away from blackness because
resources in cities are scattered to whiteness. So all of
a sudden, you're the black family moving into that suburb.
You're you're the one of the one like you're not.
You want to give your kid the best education. Education
is racialized in America, Yes it is. They go to
a private school, they're not gonna be around a lot

(01:14:08):
of black kids, they live in that neighborhood, They're not
gonna be around.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
So many of us ag and ap and like them. Higher,
higher point stuff a lot of times, and a lot
of schools theyn't depend on the school in the school
system don't even offer some of those classes, and.

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
You like, hey, like I won't.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
And the thing is every generation wants the best for
the next generation, and so some parents had to make
a decision. I want the best for my child, and
if the best for my child is over there and
I can afford it, that's what I'm going to do. Well.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
What's fucked up is that in America, even picking the
best for black people is picking a consequence. So the
best in many cases is racialized in America. There are
some cities you are privileged enough that the best is
also black and culturally attuned to you, but many cases

(01:15:06):
it's not. And so these kids putting these situations over
and over again. And we see many times black people
find black people.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Period, meaning I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
This is why we don't quit about the pu p
WI versus HBCU thing on our podcast because last time
I checked p w IY having black student unions, maybe
having black fraternity sororities. Do black people find black people
they hang out? So I'm not gonna question you as
an outsider. I'm not gonna trust just cynically suspect you

(01:15:38):
just because you're you, you have a white person as
your partner, or because you grew up around white folks,
And a lot of times we also make a penalty
out of that. It's a joke to those people, to
us when we take like Hillary Banks is played as
a joke character even though she's part of black and

(01:15:58):
representation matters. And I think it's actually kind of dope
that there's a wide swath of classism and different racial
experiences within a show like Fresh Prince. It's a good
subtext to it. But also in those formative years, there
are people who hold this stuff forever, and so someone
some people went down a different path. You asked about

(01:16:20):
canvas owners, And I'm not saying this is what happened
to Candas Owns. I'm not excusing the way she is,
but I'm saying some people go down a different path
where your cousins may have picked on you, like you
think you the white girl with your booji ass, but
they still love you, and they your cousins, and you
were able to with a good sense of humor, taking
in stride and be like this is part of blackness.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
Too, they're picking on me.

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
That's part of blackness, the same thing we see with
light skinned people. Right with light skinned people, some of
them go down the path of anti blackness and colorism
because they go back to when I was twelve someone
said something and I couldn't I'll never get over it.
Or there are many that have that sense of humor,
community or whatever, and they're like, Okay, you picked on me,

(01:17:00):
you got me. I do have this privilege, or I
do look different or whatever. You call me white, But
I know it's from a place of us loving each
other in this community, and it's not from a place
of us trying to harm each other in this community.
And that only works if you understand like privilege and
those dynamics and you truly have trust, and not everyone
has that right. So, and now that the Internet has

(01:17:22):
made us more connected and disconnected, at the same time,
you got people commenting on folks whole lives off a
picture of them with a white person they married. And
it's crazy because, like like I said, Nikki, I when
I think of blackness, I think of Nikki Giovanni period.
To have people go white wife just how they do

(01:17:46):
like Okay, so yeah, and in that What the chapter
I was talking about is the Lost Tribe of Integration,
which is a chapter from Full Dissident, which is a
book by Howard b a great book by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
Yeah, and maybe it's just me and the way I
grew up when it comes to blackness, particularly here in America.
I can't speak for the places when it comes to blackness.
Here in America, I am like, as long as you
are not anti black, I don't care. I don't care
who you're dating, who you're fucking, who you're marry, who

(01:18:22):
your tree line is, like, I don't care. And no
matter what your economic background is, your experience is a
Black experience and can't nobody take.

Speaker 4 (01:18:33):
That away from you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
And the thing about interneting and being online, they want
to quote unquote put people in blackness, kick people out
of blackness, and for some people that has always been
a fear of theirs. I've never really had that fear,
so at first it was hard for me to understand that.

Speaker 4 (01:18:47):
But as I got older, I was like, oh, okay, I.

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
Began to have more empathy and compassion for people that
are black that have had other experiences, because in my mind,
I was like, well.

Speaker 4 (01:18:56):
Nigga, you a nigga the fuck were talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
But I was like, Oh, it's different for people from
different backgrounds and things like that, and being the only
one and I've never had to live that experience, so
I wouldn't understand. But as far as I'm concerned, you
are still black to me.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
Yeah, so I don't like I said, Yeah, everything you
said I agree with. All right, last segment, we gotta
get to these we gotta get to these emails that
y'all said. All right, emails, our girl said, what's up?

Speaker 4 (01:19:56):
Girl?

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
She writes in episode thirty twenty one, Number one, use
the hip hop convos for your ig clips.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Love love love the music takes.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
Okay, you know what. That's a good idea. I was
seeing that in two TDE is hosting a red wedding
for the rap industry Kendrick Tyler, Doshi and Solona Sissa.
I really didn't see the conscious artists causing more conversation
than the trap, drill, pussy rap. Right.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
I didn't see that either.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
I would Yeah, if you would have asked me how
twenty twenty four was going, I would have been like
another year of pussy rap being on top, Like they've
been killing it. The women are all the ones. It
seemed like they really trying, but man, they kind of
came through. And I love this if it's true. I
love if Kendrick and Sissa and Doche are together because

(01:20:46):
there's something about that that is so dope with it
being Kendrick going on tour with two women.

Speaker 4 (01:20:53):
Like that's that speaks vigns.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Yeah, because I think he don't do all the like,
I'm not going back and forth with y'all. I'm doing
no performing on the internet of trying to like prove
my bona fides. You know, you want to write an
article and be like Kendrick Lamar and the real misogyny
of this beef with Drake. Fine, fine, when me and
my homies, my friend Labelmate and Deshi, who I basically

(01:21:22):
said is one of them ones and got next, when
they're on tour in these stadiums with me, then you
can just see what the work I'm doing is. It's
like how you didn't respond when Drake said you don't
even put money in the hood.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
Hey, guys, the pop out is free to everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
See you guys at the pop out. By the way,
we just did a Christmas concert for Compton. Yeah, like
for the kids.

Speaker 4 (01:21:46):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Why would I be on here trying to prove anything?
Just you can if you pay attention to see how
I'm so anyway. I like that, But you know that
being said, Pussy Rad's still doing good. Okay, it's long, Okay,
the girls are still out here.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
Ain't nothing on with a.

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
Little bit of puss rap Hey, Jane Luthor whacked out,
murals balloon, Nissan Ultimate Day on everybody's head. Yes, they
are three? Have you heard l me el me in?

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
No, I have not.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
I'm a rap girly. But my boy put R and
B on his back and he running with it. Okay,
see it, Okay, I gotta check that out.

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
I had that to Spotify right now.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
I like some good R and B because I will
forget Okay, all right, I'm adding this artist I'm following,
all right, We'll get on it. Uh See. It also says,
oh my god, Umar has been making sense lately. I
thought it was just me three crying emojis gotta be vigiling.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
Right because eventually he gonna he gonna go left. Y'all,
don't don't file for the trap though. That's how he
get people, and then all of a sudden he he
go a little bit off and y'all be like, but
he was right seventy five percent of the time.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
No, I'll be looking at them clips like, okay, it's
ten minutes long. Let's see all along I or last
I got the minute ten was like about the clap,
I said, oh god, unfollowed block.

Speaker 4 (01:23:06):
Let me get out of the room.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Because hey, you know, I'm just one visitor, a one
video way for him being like, you know, and that's
and that's why gay people didn't exist in Africa. And
having been oh, that is right, that is right. He's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:23:20):
Here's a link in my school.

Speaker 1 (01:23:22):
Well, he always addressed to school with he go viral
and he keeps saying, y'all done gave money to other
people for years. Y'all not even gonna give me money
for years to create a school. I'm like, nigga, you're
doing tot us. It was gonna be open by now.
That's not my fault. John Wright saying lives versus change,
good morning and riding care Uh. The thing that is

(01:23:43):
even more ridiculous about the pearl clutching about Biden changing
his stands on the quote unquote lying about partner the
hunter is that I see so much of that sentiment
coming from activist types whose whole world revolves around getting
politicians to change their stances, regardless of what they promised
do in the past. Right, if Biden changed stances in
a way they approved of, they would celebrate it or
more likely ignored criticize him for doing it wrong. Let's

(01:24:05):
be real. Yep, it's such bullshit and not any different
than when Republicans like McConnell pretended to be principled. But
we all know, damn well, it's really about whether or
not they agree or like the result.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
Right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
I think it's all a lot of disingenuous conversation around it,
and I'm not entertaining it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
I think it's a pretty simple truth.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
And based on if you like him, believe him, trust
them thing he's a man of his word, or you
just wanted to get the clout that bases that will
base how you go if he lied or if he
changed his mind. Either way, it ultimately doesn't matter to me.
It's a footnote in history and good for him and
good for her son.

Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
Rod.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
I'm with you on being over all the election result
theories and explanations, but for a different reason. I think
there's a real possibility that we are all trying to
find a way to make sense of something that just
may not make sense. Voters are so damn fickle, uninformed, impulsive,
lacking any real coherent worldview coherent worldview, that any attempt
to fit the behavior and the logic could be fatally flogged.

(01:25:02):
Chris Hayes used to canvas and do focus groups with
undecided voters before he became a journalist, and he talked
about how when he asked undecided independent voters what issue
might make you change who you vote for, the most
common response was basically was an issue and a blank stare.
They didn't even understand the concept of what an issue was. Likewise,
we've seen that when asked about specific policy mini voters

(01:25:23):
will flip from currently supporting it to completely opposing it
with only a talent time meaningless change in the wording,
all while being completely unaware of the contradiction.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
Time and time again, American voters.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
Choose to let the other party have a chance to lead,
and anytime they aren't happy, no matter how bad that
party is. Who caused the mess is performative contraying bullshit,
and I think there are several million of these dumbass
voters in every presidential election, more than enough to account
for the win margins who pulled the lever based on
basically nothing but vibes and whether political squirrel captured their

(01:25:55):
attention just before election day. That's not the downplay the
effects a racist misogyny, which are obviously huge. But I
feel like we overlook how criminally irrational many of our
voters are. We look. We love to think that this
policy or that worldview will explain election results, but there
have been studies that show that things like whether it
rains or not or whose name is first on the

(01:26:15):
ballot had the butterfly effect power to swing type margin
elections one way or another. It sucks, and it's utterly
terrified that this is why we all are more meaningful.
We all want more meaningful theories on what the terms
our fate. Thanks for attending my ted top care. Go ahead,
you get.

Speaker 4 (01:26:31):
This one first, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
And the thing is, even with what you said, all
this is based in reality. Even though all these fickle
people out there, they live in a real world and
they are impacted by different things even though they say things,
it's not about what they say, It's about what they do.
And that's what I'm concerned about. Good, fuck about what
they say. Fuck about if they quote unquote claim they do.

(01:26:53):
I don't care. We all are being impacted by racism, homophobia, sexist,
all these ISM's. We're being consistently impacted by them.

Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
Knowingly and unknowingly.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
We're all being impacted by them. So, yes, it might
sound irrational and illogical, yes, but they're all rooted into
something because when these people vote, they go in there
and you might have a tiny, tiny percentage that it
might flip a call up and say, fuck it, I'm
just gonna press something. But the reality is it's too

(01:27:28):
many Americans that don't want to be truthful with themselves.

Speaker 4 (01:27:34):
They don't want to admit.

Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
That they voted for this shit because they wanted this shit,
because it couldn't be a woman, it couldn't be black,
or whatever the things is. I don't give fuck about
these fucking polls. I'm looking at the end result of
who won. That that matters to me more than what
they say on a pole and what they sound on
the interview and this and the undecided voter does not exist.

Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
Don't give fuck.

Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
I do not I do not care about those people.
They don't exist. They pop up every four years. They
got damn Jill stying. Nobody gives a fuck about them.
Nobody nobody's asking in your local election. When y'all have
local elections, nobody pulls the people up going what do
you decided about the mayor? Are you undecided? What do
you think about this judge? And you want to know
people know what the fuck they're.

Speaker 4 (01:28:19):
Going to do. They don't want to be judged. They
don't want people to look at them. They don't want
to be called racist, they don't want to be called sections.
They don't want to be called misogyns. They don't want that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
So they will pretend and they will do these things
to make people think they're irrational and the logical they're
Rather you have that, rather you think that that is
a true statement, then what the reality is?

Speaker 4 (01:28:40):
What it is? I look at the result? When the
fuck about.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
These polls or these got them numbers? You voted for
this shit because you want this shit. How people vote
is based in some reality. It's not just tossed that
in the air. Like I said, you might have a
tiny percent, but most people are voting from somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:28:56):
They don't vote just because.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
So reading all of that, I wrote down some thoughts
and here's the thing I will say. It's the racism
and the sexism, and that's not a conspiracy. It's rooted
in the undependings of this country and it can't be dismissed.
Even like what you'll notice is in your thesis you

(01:29:20):
actually winnowed everything down to the swing voters and the undecided.
I'm not talking about them for real. There's only three
types of voters in this last election. There's people that
voted for some level of either progress or preservation of life. Right,
people that vote Kama Harris forty something percent. Right of

(01:29:44):
the people who did vote, there's a slight majority of
people that voted for Donald Trump, which obviously, you know,
terrible people that are okay with terrible things or want
terrible things to happen. And then the only other option
is people who are just kind of bystanders who don't
mind watching this and not getting involved. It's the people

(01:30:08):
watching someone get beating the street and going both about
to say to me or I can't be bothered whatever.
So when you're talking about broad sweeping theories or like
coming out of this, what was it that changed this
and the other? I think if you want to talk
about that handful of people that really were motivated, which

(01:30:29):
seems to be young white males this time, that's fine,
you know, like that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
I think that was a big part of it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
A lot of backlash and stuff, as I've spoken about
on the show, but I think the biggest part is
that there's just people who are racist and sexist, and
I'm not I don't think we're guessing at it. I
think a country that started with women not being able
to vote, in black people in chains, that's that's a
confirmed fact. If anything, I need you to disprove that

(01:30:57):
they were motivated by something as simple as who who
the economy, or who was in office, or they just
didn't understand.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
I think even their ignorance.

Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
Is part of the grift and part of the cover
that's giving. And then the final thing, I'll say, you
know to the people that you know are the bedrock
foundation of this country in a lot of ways when
it comes to the ignorance, sendy racism white people. What
your response essentially was was a response that only focused

(01:31:30):
on white people, by which I mean every other demographic
just about right. Once you get to race, they know
who they side with, and they're consistent in that only
white people have done this swing from like, hey man,
once they tried to get these black people rights, I'm

(01:31:52):
conservative now like white people get the option. And that's
why I said, I haven't really wanted to make this
podcast like the let's only talk about the results of
the election thing, because to me, it's like, oh, this
is white people's business. This white people did this, and
they're the only ones that get the benefit of the
doubt or the conversation that starts with, well, maybe it's

(01:32:14):
just they weren't paying attention, or you know, hey, maybe
it was just going off with vibes, or hey, maybe
the vibes are racism. The attention is racism, the sexism
that comes part of white That is them, and it
is who it is. And they said what they said,
and I believe them, and so I don't I think

(01:32:35):
the theorizing for me feels tired because I think what
I am saying is the immutable truth and there's not
going to be a survey that can back that up,
because even the assumption that they are answering your pole questions.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
Correctly and honest.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
That they are being honest is a privilege given to
white people, right, And you know that the rocism and
the sexism is the point is because every other demographic
that even shifts a percentage point to Republicans, how is
it covered in the news. It's not covered in some
like they're just open minded and who knows that they

(01:33:13):
even know what they're voting for. It's what the fuck
are black men doing voting for Trump? What the fuck
are Latino men doing voting for Trump? That's how it's
always covered. Why are these women voting for Trump? That's
how it's covered because the assumption is a vote for
them is a vote for white supremacy. And if we
can say that as a society, if we can keep
endlessly covering the one to four percent shift in every

(01:33:35):
other demographic towards Trump as if that is alarming news,
then why aren't we alarmed that seventy percent of white
people are motivated by that, that they are siding with
white supremacy. It's a conversation. That's not a real conversation.
It's not actually happening. And you know, as well meaning
as people like Chris Hayes are, even he not ready

(01:33:58):
for this real conversation, This real conversation I can't be
really had on their airways.

Speaker 4 (01:34:04):
Agreed, one hundred percent agreed.

Speaker 3 (01:34:06):
And this is one reason why when it comes to
me and Roderick, and like you say, for a lot
of people, you just really can't have the conversation because
in my mind, if we don't start at racism and
sexism and homophobia and audseisms, there's nothing for us to
talk about, because everything else is an excuse. Them not
knowing is an excuse. Them playing stupid is an excuse.
These polls is an excuse. Everything is an excuse for

(01:34:30):
the reality that I see, that I know that I
feel that I have to look at every day waking
up in this country. You can't gas light me and
make me think I'm fucking crazy when I know what
I know, and I saw what I saw, and the
results confirmed in me what I felt.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
On a completely unrelated note, I have a question about
the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
I've been meaning to ask.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
Why is the bullet Bar only granted unofficial status because
I don't want to get sued whatever become official. No,
I feel like that first of all, I was friends
with him on Facebook. I think I might still be
friends or I'm not. Maybe one day he finally unfriended me.
Maybe we said some offensive about bullet Ball, but that dude,

(01:35:17):
that's a real business, that's trademark. So I don't want
to say the official podcast of bulletbarll because then the
motherfucker sue us. I'm not giving him half of what
I got. He might need it too, bullet Ball. You know,
I don't know how much money is making them. Is
it like NATO membership where it needs to be voted
on every soften love seeing Rafael connect.

Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
With a lovely picture and a double child.

Speaker 1 (01:35:37):
Someone should put that on the NFT to sell as
a blackoutis merch. Rochelle says, hi Rod and Karen, thank you.
I wanted to say thank you for what you do.
My sister turned me onto your show last year, but
I didn't really get into it till this year. I'm
going through a divorce and you've helped me through some
tough days. During the summer, I was caught up with
my other podcasts, are starting to listen to yours more consistently.
You made me laugh, think and go through all their emotions.

(01:35:59):
I love that you are just being yourselves and enjoying
the work you do. Like Chris said this week, I
too would like a relationship like you and Karen after
twenty years of marriage. I hope one day I find
the person that matches my energy. I signed up for
the Black Friday, especially on the last day. I have
yet to listen anything about the paywhile, but it's there
for when I needed.

Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
Thank you again, Shelley, Oh, thank you, Shelley.

Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
There's plenty of stuff back there.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
You've never heard it for full and like the person
that wrote it, they go, I've been the premiumum for years,
but i haven't pressed play on stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:36:27):
Like I say.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
For people that are premium, you have access to everything,
so listen to it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:32):
You're paying for it.

Speaker 1 (01:36:33):
Sorry you had a tough time, but I'm glad that
we were able to give some respite within Dame. Chris says,
catch up feedback. He Yo, what's good? Pass a rod
and first Lady Karen. It's Chris, captain of the crew.
Catch up crew, the cousin that's always late and Lee's early.
There are many times when I listen and I have
a thought about the things y'all are talking about. But

(01:36:53):
then I wait, like five minutes without fail, y'all cover
exactly what I have in mind.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
You know what? I call that being a one accord?
Can I get an amen?

Speaker 1 (01:37:02):
Amen?

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
I had the exact same thought about Drake.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
One way I see him getting out of this mess
is becoming a Maga drizzy, not because of Trump, but
because I believe he and Eli had the same I'm
the coolest guy in the room. Please like me energy.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
Oh no, I think he could get out of it
that way.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
I hope he.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
I really wish he don't.

Speaker 1 (01:37:21):
But I think a lot of his fans are already
those type of Andrew Schultz you know ish guys that
you know, his music's very red pilled music with the
you know the why how come? Because I tat on you?
You be going out at night? You know that kind
of shit? And I think he's you know, he's been

(01:37:42):
making some signals with who he's been streaming with and
paling around with that he could one hundred percent go
that way.

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
But I'll be dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
So I was thinking, you do a whole lot of
reading doing the feedback show, and I appreciate because it
makes it feel more personal. But I think I know
you get tired from Renaudi's comments and emails. So I
had a thought, what if you use a from time
to time to read some of the comments. You could
even use the condescended negro whose name I'm sure something
like Reggie or Leon or something.

Speaker 2 (01:38:07):
Voice it's Adam by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:38:10):
Think about it. Wouldn't Raphael scam sound all the more
scammier and Reggie's voice. Wouldn't Apple's lovely white woman music
be more music coming from a man who you know
exclusively dates white women because he believes white black women
are of real racist anyway, just some thoughts, loving piece, Chris,
Thanks Chris, that's very funny. I don't think on a

(01:38:31):
principal level, I don't think I will go with the
AI thing. Maybe comedically if there was a reason, But
as a writer, I'm just kind of anti AI period.

Speaker 2 (01:38:41):
I don't like I don't like.

Speaker 3 (01:38:42):
That shitam okay, shit trying to take my job right.

Speaker 1 (01:38:47):
The second part of it is I'm one of them one,
okay do I? Yeah, I get tired after reading three
hours of feedback, but I was built for this.

Speaker 4 (01:38:58):
Okay, yeah, we were doing this.

Speaker 1 (01:39:00):
These other motherfuckers no, no, not no, we not no
we this not this, not this, not a bullshit.

Speaker 4 (01:39:07):
I can't take credit.

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
I'm singing a solo.

Speaker 1 (01:39:13):
Y'all got ears, y'all hear out, I'll read three four
hours of what the fuck y'all have to say. He
will comment on it as well and comprehend it and
try to do y'all some favors sometimes and fix these
spelling mistakes or make it funnier or say it in
a certain voice or whatever. And the reason why is

(01:39:35):
because I'm one of one. I'm an alien, I'm rare.
I'm like that. So know there won't be no AI
doing that bullshit on my watch. Ais for these lesser
podcasters who ain't got the stamina to sit in the
ring with fucking twenty seven page emails that you motherfucking
professors keep sending it again corrected by Sean O. Some

(01:39:58):
jokes that I wrote that word even supposed to be
fact check or get find out Apia's quest on Black
Friends or controlled by Raphael for the ninety seventh time
about these third name, Jason, I got you. I can't
do that. Come out built for this, you built for this.

These other podcasters got to take a break. They gotta
go get some water. They gotta take a week off,

ask how was Rod able to dominate for twenty two
years straight? Like Lebron James. You look at Kevin Durant

What about the other one that got sent with the
the butters?

Speaker 4 (01:47:43):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:47:44):
I did mention this on a Karen Hunter show, and
this person would heard me on a Karen Hunter show
called in and his name is Chef Quas and he
said he was gonna send me a package.

Speaker 2 (01:47:55):
And he did send me a package.

Speaker 1 (01:47:58):
And it's like, fact, I'm gonna go get it, karens
since you made me talk about this stall for a minute,
I got you.

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
The Roger is the cook. He the heat a chef
I can cook.

Speaker 3 (01:48:12):
But over the years, what I've been realizing is like
Roger is lily a hell of a cook. He has
really honed his kids. Like I'm not even gonna lie, y'all.
I am jealous of his rights because I'm too impatient
for rights. Who you got to sit there and glaze
at it and stare at it and shower. I got
up things that I can be doing, putting this right

(01:48:33):
so long and let them more minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:48:37):
So he is the cook of the house, all right,
I'm back, so he's sitting like a care package. Chef
Qua's is his name, and one of it is pesto
burder quas can cook is his business and it's with
a K K W A z k A N cook.

Speaker 2 (01:49:00):
Look see oh okay, so quads can't cook.

Speaker 1 (01:49:03):
It gave me pesto butter great on vegetables, pasta and
much more. And he also gave me Caribbean jerk butter
great on fish, vegetable, steak, seafood and more. Now I
just got put onto this like butter situation because I
went to Harris Teeter and I was getting something from
the meat department and I saw steak butter on sale

(01:49:24):
for two dollars. I was like, with steak butter and
he was like, so, I said, do you like? Well,
you just cooked with it? He said, what is it?
You basically make the steak, then you take the butter
put it on top of the steak for the last
little bit, so the butter melts down into the meat.

Speaker 3 (01:49:41):
And oh was that that They take the spoon they
kind of pulled back over the.

Speaker 1 (01:49:45):
Meat sometimes, but this you can put just like a
lump on it of it on the meat. And what
I did was. I took our pork chops the other
day and put them in the oven with the steak
butter on top, just to see how it turned out.

Speaker 2 (01:49:56):
And it was great.

Speaker 1 (01:49:57):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:49:57):
It was, oh, that's what you ain't doing in pork chops, yes.

Speaker 1 (01:50:00):
Sir so. And that was my test run with that
butter because I had this butter. So i'most I'm gonna
mess with some other foods around here and see what
I can experiment with with this jerk butter and pesto butter.
So thank you. And he also gave us quads can
cook all purpose seasoning.

Speaker 2 (01:50:20):
Okay, that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:50:22):
I put them some of the because I put them
in my eggs, and they was absolutely delicious.

Speaker 2 (01:50:26):
I'm gonna tell you right now. It smells amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:50:29):
But I'm gonna run out because I already use it
on some wings. No MSG is gluten free. I already
don't use it on some wings. I used it like
Karen use it on her eggs. It was this mo
waker right here. Ain't gonna last long because I'm gonna
use it. I'm just gonna let you know the quads
if you're out there listening. Thank you very much, all right, y'all.
That's it, we'll be back. Tomorrow's guests will actually be

(01:50:51):
Morgan Pete Campbell. Come on, I'm a friend of the show.

Speaker 3 (01:50:55):
