exceeds expectations, winky face emoji.

From your line to us in who says Ride and
Karen exceed expectations with every podcast of itself. Thank you,

gonna ask for raising. And you know, and what's the
crazy part?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
I think I woul advocate on for the podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'd been like, God, damn it as hot as our work,
we exceed. I an't expect you ain't gonna cheat me.
I get exceed everything.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Last one is the realist a lie from nessa Ppo
six two oh, who says five stars. I can see
it in your eyes. I also love your show. This
is a fantastic show. Funny, punny, smart and genuine. Listen
regularly feels like all my friends in North Carolina. Keep
doing what you're doing, and we shall keep doing what

(04:57):
we're doing. Thank y'all for this con five star reviews.
Very nice of you, and of course We're always trying to,
you know, reach out there and make y'all feel like friends.
You know, from across the way. We hope we feel
like friends to some extent. You know, it's the friends
in your head, and you know, we need friendly faces
and friendly voices these times. And the time was so

(05:18):
many people just volunteering to.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Be the enemy, right, and they're just volunteering.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's nice to listen to somebody and just they're not
just like, fuck you, right, my job is not to
fight you.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
All right, let's get into the show episodes. We had
six comments on our feedback episode thirty seventy three. Yay
our friends our own was the title. Of course.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Apia speaks in first She says, creating fear is part
of the authoritarian system.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I'm a white lady in Western Europe, not exactly the
target of your administration, and still when I read what
they are doing, I feel fear. Of course, it's especially
working in someone who can trend the catastrophic thinking, but
also as part of their plan. Thank you Rod for
pointing it out. It helped me with my fear because
I could see it from the outside. Always a great
therapeutic cuty too. I also strangely feel hope when it's

(06:10):
so bad at this point where the Republicans start turning
on him something they did never did before. It's a
new thing. It's not really great going great for him.
It has been a lot of discord and uh defections
and fighting back and forth for for Republicans. Not enough
yet for me to feel too much hope, but enough
for me to see that it's not he's having issues

(06:34):
trying to rule.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Past, trying to pass his stuff. It's not.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's not all going to plan. Of course, the judges
are pushing back in certain areas, but you know, we're
just a long way away to me go ahead.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, And I'm starting to drip. And also the thing
is some of them I'm pushing back because you know
what Trump doesn't have to.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Deal with going back to the constituents.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
They're the ones going and these people have a cutting
up in the town hall meetings and calling them out
and talking about losing that jir like, so they're like
some of the stuff I gotta push back against because
I gotta look at these people in the face if
I want to get re elected, like like not turying funny,
these are things that he doesn't have to worry about.
So for some of them, they're not doing this shit
out of quote unquote kindness of their hearts. They're doing

(07:19):
it because they wanted to get re elected and they're constituents.
It's like, hey, bitch, I didn't think it was gonna
happen to me do something.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, exactly. So we'll see.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
But but I feel you though, I'll tell you this much.
I'm not hopeless. Agree, I'm not hopeless. And that says
that's more about my long view of history than it
is about the current moment. And and like the people
that are fighting back right now, but it's not over yet,

(07:49):
and well, we'll see how it goes. But this chaos
you're already seeing, like some of these billionaires turning on
them and stuff. But I can't never feel too much
help because at the end of the day, these people
did vote for him, yeah, and they were like on
his side, and they look past all the shit that

(08:10):
he did that was fucked up.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
And so.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Right now, I feel like a lot of people are
invested in being correct, being right, and their bias is showing,
and so when he does something fucked up, they act
like it's incongruent when they don't agree with it, like.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, oh, I can't believe Trump.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Is doing these tariffs. I need that for my Tesla sales.
But then when he's back, you know, whenever he's back
on message or he's not fucking with their specific issue,
they're back to being like he's a genius.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Great but a great leader. And so we're not there yet,
but they are crack showing yes.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
I have one hundred percent agree because right now it's
not about their action, it's not about their words. It's
about their actions because it's too many times where they've
done this fake outraged in turn the brown and still
vote on party line. And so the time is gonna
come when when beals start ya coming up and shit
like this, if they still vote along with part of line,
we still got a long way, Like if they would

(09:05):
have to literally when it's time for Senate and the
Congress and all these people put shit on the record,
and there are consequences, repercussions to the actions that will
determine if they're serious or not.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
My name isn't on the company building either, but i'
munna say I get lots of recognition in my work
from colleagues, from people in other departments and supervisors, and
by that I mean money and nice things people say.
It seems to be saved in my files because when
I changed departments in twenty twenty three, this happened.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
I to negotiate my new salary. I thought I was
being a certain for my demands.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Lucky the HR lady went first and offered me eight
thousand more a year than my maximum demand in my
head was. I would love to have recorded my response
it with something like, oh, okay, it sounds good.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Did I hear you correctly?

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I am a smart, very responsible workhorse with great ideas. Luckily,
I can also see when someone wants to take advantage
of me or steal my accomplishments, or I would be
a perfect late target for lazy assholes. Let's see if
there comment goes into moderation, because for some reason that
comment went in the moderation. Of course, I'll be a Okay,
I know you obsessed with catastrophic thinking. Okay, I know

(10:12):
you are, and I get it. It's not you can't
always control it. But let me just assure you as
a listener to the show, the moderated comments are automatic
on the website.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
I have nothing to do with it, but they always
come to me. If I see they are from you,
I approve them.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
So just don't just don't abuse the privilege, you know,
like if I see you typing out the N word,
of course I'm not gonna approve that. But like, you're
never writing anything that I wouldn't put on the show.
And I don't know what the fuck the what? I
don't even know what the moderation rules are. It could
literally just what can It could literally just be that

(10:49):
you're from like Germany, It could be it could be
any fucking thing. You leave comments all the time. Ninety
nine percent don't go into moderation. So I don't know
what happened these last couple of weeks. But please don't
worry about trying to figure out the moderation thing. And
the reason I want you to worry about it is
because that actually does make more work for me that
we don't need. So if you want to like test

(11:10):
the moderation features, please don't just type, only write.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
But you were going to write anyway.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Instead of making more shit for me to read, if
it's not necessarily jermane to what we talked about this week.
That being said, I'll read this comment there's no way
to change the sex of your child fast. Parents and
trans kids have a long have to go a long way.
I know, if we were in that situation, I will
always wonder if our decision, no matter what it was,
was the right one for our child.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
In the long run.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, And I think you could say the same thing
of every decision for every child period, right, Like every
decision you make for all your children, it's gonna be
like I hope it was the right one in the
long run.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Like this one just feels like.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
A big thing and a new thing because we haven't
discussed it in society as much, especially in American culture.
But I'm sure in many countries, like trans people as
as as people who deserve protection and whose lives deserve
rights and all this stuff, it's not necessarily something that's

(12:12):
been even discussed. And so now you have, you know,
all this panic, you have all this pushback all over
the globe and all this different stuff. But at the
end of the day, to me, if your kid is
SIS had, you're still going to need the long view,
the long scope of history that decides if you were
doing the right things or not how many of us
have complexes about stuff that are just like your parents

(12:35):
meant well, or your parents you know, or your parents
were fucking up, but like you, in the moment, they
thought they were right, you know what I'm saying. Like
I know people that have issues about their weight, where
they have like very big hang ups about their body,
and they'll be like, it's because my mama did this
or my dad said that, and at that time, I'm
sure if you ask the parent, if they took a

(12:56):
lot of tech to tests, they'd be like, I'm right,
and I'm just trying to keep my child healthy. I'm
trying this is what I know to do. I think
often that's what happens in so many areas. But when
it's like trans kids, we of course understand the impacts
of those as suicide, as depression and other things where

(13:18):
people are just under attack constantly.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
So I see why it would be like that.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
But also I would say it's a very conservative Republican
talking point to try to make this sort of like
you know, all trans people are the vast majority, they
regret their supportive parents and all this shit. They regret
that their parents help them get hormone therapy or they
find the one out of a thousand and be like,

(13:45):
look at this person. And that is a fear mongering tactic.
But you know, I think a good parent would always
be concerned with I hope I'm doing the right thing,
So don't I don't.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, I think that's fine. Yeah, and I agree.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
And also the thing is is to being a parent,
you don't get no instructions. Every child is different. Two
parents can have multiple children in each child has a
different has a difference a set of parents because you know,
you age, day, age, all types of shit is happening
in their lives. They know more as they get older,
all types of shit's happening. And also as a parent,

(14:19):
just like any other human being, you don't know what
you know to you know, and a lot of times
depend on the age and your parents and things like that.
A lot of parents just leaned on what they were
taught and and and are like, well this worked for me,
blah blah blah blah blah. But as time goes on
and as we have more words and more books, and
as certain things come out and people begin to learn

(14:41):
more about different love languages and all that stuff, you know,
and parents start to branch out and read and kind
of educate theirselves more on being a parent. Techniques changes
and styles changes, and even then as a parent, you're
not always going to get it right because children are different.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
And the thing is a decision you make as a parent.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Children don't understand at that time, and they don't understand
why you made those decisions.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
And as they get older.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
And as they become parents theirselfs if they become parents,
or just as they become an adult, they begin to
be like, oh shit, I see why you did that,
But it takes them a while to get to that point.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
And I will continue to say this.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Parents are nothing but human beings trying to navigate the
world like everybody else. But society tells you to teach
your parents like they like on a pedal school stool,
and then when they let you down, everybody's.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Very hurt and disappointed. And I get that.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
I get that because of the interaction between parents and children.
But at the same time, parents are just people trying
to navigate the world like everybody else. And if you
look at your parent as a normal ass human being
who just fucks up, makes mistakes, makes errors, like like
like you during your lifetime, you will have more compassion
for your parents. I'm not saying forgive them. I'm not

(15:55):
saying forget what they did. I'm saying you have more
compassion and understanding to their decision making.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Evie says just wanted to piggyback on the anime recommendation
for Karen. I know you like playing cozy games like
games Karen, and I would like to recommend watching Free
Rent Beyond the Journeys in It feels like a cozy
game about an elf mage who retraces the steps of
her last adventure after most of her former party members
have passed on. It's a really beautiful story and was
nominated for Anime of the Year.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
I haven't seen that with yet.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, that's what she's recommending it for.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Okay, Okay, it's on the list. I see it all
the time on Cruncher Row.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, we talk about all time on the nerd Off.
I watched some of it. I'm mostly just surprised other
people like it. Same thing with Apothecarry Diaries. I'm watching
that and I'm enjoying it, but like it's so weird.
The diversity of the Anime of the Year category this
year because it's just like some of these I can
see people being I can see people I can't believe

(16:51):
they're as popular as the other ones, just because like
solo leveling feels like extremely traditionally popular. Yes, but then
like free rent feels like something that's so deep and
nuanced and sometimes you know, slow cooking and same thing
with a pothecarry diaries that I'm surprised people are like
those as much as I do.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
She says, just wanted to say I answered no on
the pole.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I have never smoked crack, but back in my younger
days I casually dated a guy who mentioned that he did.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
I ghosted his ass. Total deal breaker. Wow, one crack
and you was out. Wow, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Shoe Boody says there are suggestions for things like book
club recommendations, etc. That end up being more work for
Rod than he would like to take on, moderate, or execute.
In addition to all the hard work he puts into
the podcast as it is, would anyone be interested in
the Blackout Tips discord server? We could have different channels
for things like books, movies, etc. And just discussion community
curated content. Basically, hear a book mentioned, want to recommend

(17:45):
one on your own.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Put it out there. I did it. I feel free
to join the chat, others, invite others or whatever. Please
be kind.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
This is the first server I ever created, and I'm
just winging it. So she created a discord server for
the black guy who tips. I'll put it in the
chat for people if they want to join. Also, if
I don't forget, put it in the show notes. And
I want to tell y'all straight up, I'm not joining

(18:15):
the thing either, and I'm not telling y'all like like.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I don't, I would like like it's dope. I hope
y'all join it.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
The only reason I'm not joining we had a bad inn.
We had a at least I did, but I'd say
in general, we had a bad time with our Facebook
group when we tried to do a Facebook group years ago,
and people just it was just too much drama. People
were going back and forth about stuff. Hopefully that wouldn't
happen today, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
So y'all got it. People be having interpersonals conflicts and stuff. Now,
It's fine. I think as a fan, right like as
a fan, like these motherfuckers want to fight. It's entertainment.
As the podcast host.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
It just sucked for me because people was coming to
me like I was King Solomon and shit like split
this baby, and it's like, ma'am, I.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Don't know what is happening with y'all's personal lives. Like
I don't know who's telling the truth. Call the police,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Like, so, anyway, all that stuff to say, I love
this idea. I've tried to create like a Amazon storefront
type thing. It's very difficult.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Like I've been working with it different ways from the
influencer side of this, and they're sending me emails like
use camera to create your page and all this type
of shit, and I'm just like, why is this turning
into work?

Speaker 1 (19:36):
It's it's right, of course, not I had to do that.
I have to do all the stuff. And so I'm
already doing stuff behind the scenes.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Y'all don't know about, uh stuff with branding, stuff with
our the clips that you got to see go viral
on social media. There's other there's like professional projects I'm
working on. I just did our fucking taxes. It's like
I am always working doing something. Not to mention, of course,

(20:06):
just the day to day management of the website. I'm
so behind on movie reviews. Like so anything that adds
more work, no matter how simple a lift it is.
It a lot of times it is like, man, if
there was another way to do this, for other people
to do it, it would be easier.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
And so I like this idea, and I hope that
you guys join.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
I hope that I hope that you guys really find
community with each other and stuff like that. I have
no idea if the Facebook group is even still going.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
It might be.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
I'm not sure it's not going either. Yeah, so I
don't I have no idea. That might be a place too.
But yeah, you know, if you guys see stuff mentioned
on the show multiple times and stuff, it's a great
place because I know somebody always does take notes and
some of y'all will not hit the rewind button like
I like. Literally, we will say something on the show

(20:57):
like yo, I like this video game, and we'll get
a I'm in on YouTube or email later like what
was the name of that video game. It's like you
had a thirty second rewind button, you could have hit
thirty second.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Gacky. Instead, you rather wait a week for me to
see the email and answer it. That's crazy to answer
twice as long, so I hope that. I hope that helps.
But thank you you.

Speaker 2 (21:18):

I ain't never stopped her from getting a check, so
hopefully if she don't like us, we at the bottom.
I don't feel like I've said anything too bad about her,
But you never know. Man, We give opinions, people have
opinions on us. It's kind of the game. She's living
a public life. People have opinions on her. That's part
of the game.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
It is what it is. But I always have to
feel I feel compelled to at least try to be
honest with the audience.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Critical thinker says, happy birthday came. But latedly, I'm so

will come back and do some uh some more feedback,

(26:26):
all right. Episode thirty seventy four, One Walk at a Time.
We got nine comments on this one.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Who y'all had a lot to say.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
I've just said, exercise every day, I go either go
to class mostly yoga, or I do at least thirty
minutes at home for myself, and every day I walk
at least ten thousand steps.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
That's dope, I'll just says Karen. Keep it going.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I'm the same age as riding on the fittest I've
ever been in los of categories. It's a cool experience
to see how much better you could get at this
age and how good the body feels.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
I have zero pain in my body, is very strong
and very flexible.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
I've also at least sim flexible hours when it's at
a home office day. At least two times a week,
I can start working in the work in the morning
and go to class at nine am. Love what it
does for my body and my brain.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Good. Yeah, I mean, listen, it's good to stay active.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
We know all the positive things of going outside and
sunlight and your blood flow and exercise does.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Great for your wonders, for your brain and your thinking.
I mean, we know all the things. Gods.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Yeah, And the thing is, they could tell you that
all day long, but I know sometimes it's kind of
an internal thing, you know, like in your own mind.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
And so yeah, I went.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Walking again this morning and it was a little cooler.
I put on a jacket the you know, I'm always cold.
It was like fifty nine degrees. I was like, oh, bitch,
is gonna be a coach.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
I put on my coat and went out there and
I went walking.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
I have this real long like I call it like
a walking stick, but it's more to beat dogs away
dogs on around here. But just in case one decided
to be frogging walk up on me, I got something
for you, dog.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
And so, because you don't never know when the dogs
just decided you ain't don't like you today, well, bitch,
I don't like you either. Take the sticks.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
And so that's why I carry the walking stick with me,
and and or of any attackers then by.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Just run up on me. I don't know. It's a
mental thing. So I'm like, you know, I don't need
no surprises. Nah. Black people love walking sticks. Yeah, And
I went walking with you my mother time.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
We had to use it because we were walking minding
our own damn business, and the du dude open the
door and the dog decided to be to come towards us,
and so we started beating the sticks at the ground.
He finally got him to come back, but I was like,
you about to lose his dog, you better call them
back back to you.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
But anyway, I also used the sticks. I you know,
kind of do a little light bench pressed with the
stick over my head and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
So I used the stick for more than just you know,
like a walking assistant. And so I was a good
little walk this morning.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Shoe Boody says, Oh, no, all my daughters aunties are
actually her aunts. The day she realize, wait a minute,
if Jackie ain't your sister, oh aren't actually her aunts?
She realized, Jackie ain't your sister, how are her kids
my cousins?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, it is what it is that I don't know
if everybody got that.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
I know it's definitely a black thing to have that,
because there used to be there's a thing online about
white people not having like cousins, that ain't they cousins?

Speaker 1 (29:23):
And that being like that was during the pandemic. Everybody
was discovering it about each other because we were bored.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
But but yeah, I'm not I think there's obviously white
people that do practice that, but I don't think I
think it's not necessarily as as.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Broad cross cultures. Right, black people, we grow up all
the time with people that's cousins that are just not
related to us. It's like, that's not a requirement to
be a cousin. Yeah, I have.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Cousins that are older than you. You just called auntie
because you know they're older than you, and everybody else.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Call them that. Yeah. Uh, let's see, apple, says Karen.
Keep it going. I'm the same.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Oh wait, I said that. Okay, even he says, your
fitness journey has been inspiring. Rod losing weight at the
cherry on top of the goals, you're achieved. I started
my own fitness journey over a year ago for health reasons,
and I'm also down a significant amount of weight. But
the best part is what I see on the isn't
what I see on the scale, but the fact that
I don't get winded walking more than a couple of blocks.
The back ache is gone, my knees feel better, the

(30:19):
quality of my life has improved, as well as my
mental health. I'm definitely with you about not shaming people
about their own journeys. I hate those fitness girls who
ask questions like what's your excuse? Whenever I hear that,
I want to scream, none of your fucking business people
have various reasons for not being able.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
To exercise, even if they don't want to.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Is even if they don't want to, that's a valid reason.
You can't make people want it. They would have to
want it for themselves, and that's okay. The only person you're.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Responsible for is you. Yeah, I think. I just think.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
So much of that stuff comes from an unhealthy inner voice,
and knowing a lot of people don't question it because
it's been considered normalized, and we think the only way
to motivate somebody is through just shitting on them and
being mean to them and picking on them, which tells
us about your motivations for like, how for the things

(31:13):
that you're doing.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
So, even when.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Somebody is, you know, traditionally attractive on the outside, if
the voice on the inside is one that is like, eh.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
You fat ugly, this your lazy piece of shit.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
I don't want that in me. I don't want that
voice talking to me. I don't want that inhabiting my mind.
I'm sorry, but you can have that, and that's your
inner monologue. And if that's what motivation you think, that's
a good thing. Sure, But that never motivated me. And
I heard and have seen so much of fitness culture
and stuff that is just that it's your bitch, you

(31:49):
you know, it's the celebrity fit Club, the biggest Loser.
They're just yelling and being mean to people and shit
and picking on them and stuff like that, or you know,
or you see the host. They'll pretend to be nice
to the person on that show, but then when they're
doing like an interview on some other platform, they're like, eh, Lizo,

(32:13):
she's terrible for everybody, and you're just like, what the
fuck is wrong with you? So I think a lot
of this stuff is it's not really about what they say.
It's about which is I'm just saying this because I
think these people need. I care about them and I
want them to be motivated. No, you're just picking on
people the same way when people were saying the F
word all the time about gay people, they weren't trying

(32:36):
to motivate them.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
It wasn't because they care.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
No, you're mocking them and you think it's funny that
they're gay, and you think something bad is there's something
bad about being gay. That's how people feel about people
being fat. It's a lot of that, and then they
try to cover it up with no, I'm trying to
motivate you. No, well, what if so me, the person
that is fat is telling you that is not motivating me.
Why won't you stop right because you're trying to motivate me.

(33:01):
You think it's funny, you think it's whatever, and that's
their you know, that's their prerogative to think that way,
but it's my prerogative to say, that's not what it's
working for me.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
And a big part for years of me, I think kind.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Of not wanting to do a lot of this stuff
publicly was the fact that I was like, I see
so much negativity and so much stuff that I think
is harmful out there when people start talking about their
bodies and losing weight or whatever.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
And I'm not saying I'm perfect. I'm not trying to
be perfect. I'm just trying to be honest.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
But a lot of what I say I try to
make sure does not mirror in that negative self talk area.
And honestly, that that's what's been keeping me motivated. It's
not the negativity. I don't wake up and think, oh God,
I hate myself, I hate my body. I gotta go
to the gym so I can love myself. That's not

(33:54):
what I think at all. So I'm with you on that,
you know.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
So with you talking, it makes me go back and
look at my mama. And when you say that voice,
I never realize that voice in her was extremely loud.
And you know, as a kid, you don't realize how
loud that voice was. And me and her both had
weight problems at one period of time, and so and

(34:20):
she lost a lot of weight and I did too
because you know, she changed, you know, the way she
cooked and things like that, and it was one of
those things to where that voice is continued to still
be loud in her. And every child is different. And
as I got older, like I said, I learned the words.
And so I am the type of person I do
not respond well to negative reinforcement. I am a positive

(34:44):
reinforcement type of person. Negative reinforcement pisces me off, makes
me mad, turns me off, and I won't do shit
just because you're coming at me the wrong way. You know,
I'm much more mature than that now, But you know,
as a kid, I was like, oh, oh, bitch, fuck you.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Then, you know, you know, because that was just my
type of personality.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
And so what you're saying, now makes more sense to
why I responded terribly to her coming at me with
that negative reinforcement, thinking that she would, like you said,
thinking that she was helping, but she actually was not.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, for me, it's just like I need people to
wear on a team together. We're all like I like
having a trainer, I like having a nutritionist. I look
at it more like I've set a goal and I
have people in my corner that are pushing me towards
that goal. And their job isn't to make me feel
bad or guilty or sad. I thrive off the positivity.

(35:39):
I look forward to going to the gym. It makes
me feel good. And I wish I had realized that
or known that years ago, because I just looked at
it as a place people go that don't like either
everyone in there already feels good about their bodies, and
they're looking around at you like fuck, fuck are you
doing it here? Or everybody and you know, like how

(36:01):
you know, look at you in your body, it's not
a gym body, or everybody in there is, like you know,
movie using anger to motivate them, whether it's anger at themselves,
anger about how they don't want to look and you
know whatever, and to just know that, nah, there's a lot.
There's a very healthy ecosystem in that gym and that culture,

(36:22):
and it's not intimidating and it's not bad and people
do want the best for you, and they want the
best for themselves. And most people are working on their
own paper, they're not looking at yours.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
It's not about you.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
And when and the few times that someone does acknowledge
you or say something to you, most people are extremely polite,
extremely positive and supportive. You might get a you know,
a thumbs up or ahead nod from people just seeing
you in there all the time, or you might get
people that say, you know, like, oh man, I'll see
like some you know this is working or you know
everyone so why you get a little bit of like
what's your goals?

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Or you know how much weight you lost?

Speaker 2 (36:56):
But honestly, even at this point, I don't feel bad
out people saying that kind of stuff to me. I
you know, that was part of therapy for me, was like,
it's not I I'm not going to break or fold
just because somebody asked me a fucking question and I
don't And it's not gonna become a fucking like international incident.

(37:17):
Like people ask those questions all the time. Uh, therapyst
for me to be able to handle that life. So
for somebody to come over and be like, how much
weight you lost? If I don't want to tell them,
I just don't tell him. And if I do, I
tell him like it's like it's it's It's like one
guy came over and said, I mean, i'll see you
losing weight.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
You what's your goal?

Speaker 2 (37:33):
And I set my goal is to be in here
five days a week, you know, and he just, you know,
like smiled and said, all right, man, that's what's up,
and like it wasn't confrontational me. It's just, uh sometimes
it just be like that. And not everybody know you
to know like what your triggers are and to step
around them.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
So it's up to you.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
But yeah, I say, I'll have to say, like, it's
been a rewarding environment and you know, and I enjoy
going and I enjoy seeing what I can do. And
I think one of the biggest lessons I heard is
that I mean I've learned is that I can just
do hard things, things that I didn't think I was
possible of. You just do it a little bit at
a time, and you know, uh, it's like you see

(38:14):
the weights the first day and you're like, I can't
lift that, But you know a year from now, you
can lift.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
It twelve times, you know.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
M h.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
I think that funeral in Barber's only mistake was castraight
in the body in front of a witness.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
That was dumb.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, she should have made sure, oh girl was team
I hate pedophiles before.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I'm making that decision.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, because like y'all gonna y'all are going to burn
the body up anyway, Who is a fuck if you
put the dig in this mouth?

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Even if it was a good person.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
I'm not saying she should have did that, But even
if it was a good person, what the fuck does
it matter?

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Y'all a cremating the body? Why are you snitching?

Speaker 2 (38:47):
I mean, if she took a picture with it or
put it on TikTok okay, sure you got something to say,
you should tell because that's just dumb and everyone's gonna
find out. But she put you in the circle of
trust and you violated it. Ronn around for El says,
speaking of exercise, right, it can be in your head.
There's a version of this intergalactic fella that had a
body inspired after he saw three hundred. Okay, basic training

(39:07):
kind of forced it out of him, and after a
devastating heartbreak, he rode on a camera into the desert
and said, fuck aps, he'll be a sexy one pack.
But every now and then he looks back, wondering if
he had never stopped exercising, he would have been this
or that. Then he saw RD exercising in the universe
during his galactic trips and said to himself, quite quit
reminiscing like a nineties R and B singer and get

(39:28):
off the galactic galactic surf. So he started walking and
signed up for a program.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
At the VA. Don't tell this administration right, they're gonna
cut it. He lately a black man walking. Hell no,
how much we paying for that.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
He's lately been increasing his steps by five k consistently
for three weeks now, seeing new opportunities to bring orcas
see security services. Oh that's what it stands for. Okay,
the Map to the Masses. They thank you for aspiring,
just despite.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
The Cold War on Middle names coming soon to HBO. Oh,
by the way, Karen, you was giving away great game
with your list, I was dying the best steath of it.
Sim Simmer says, thank you both for this excellent episode,
including top tier banter. I've been working as with a
physical training virtual training free benefit of my job, and
your words helped to reinforce what she was telling me

(40:22):
about pacing, building a routine, and letting go of all
or nothing because I'm not moving how I used to move.
After all that encouragement, Karen's List and then the guest
the race had me cackling on my express bus people
trying to get their pre WORKNP and I was in
tears trying to stifle my lash. I really are the best,
so on said.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Going back to listening to episode sixteen seventy five. Now
I forgot which episode that was why I told you
all to listen to that. I'm sure it was some
shit I was right about, which you know, I do
love to be.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Oh, this is America. Yeah, that was a great upsode.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Mark Kranz says, I really enjoyed this episode Karen's Left List,
Chef's Kiss. I was listening when I pulled up the
work and had to gather myself because Dad was hilarious.
The belly the belly Gang Cushington Fellow is black. By
the way, keep doing the work because we sure do
appreciate you both. Everyone's told me that, and I did

(41:22):
not realize his dad is black. He just he got
to jail Coban. He looked white, but he not white.
That's why the nigga ain't hit. When it came out
of his mouth, I went, ugh, hold up what? But
you know, as one has to do these days, he
has pictures all over the internet with his black dad
to show that he does have the N word pass
or the black past or.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Whatever they say. He was raised black. So I apologize
to that man.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
I don't he probably never heard us and probably never
will give a fuck about anything we got to say.
And I don't blame him, but I just personally I
apologize because I thought he was a white dude doing
an imitation of black culture. There's there's layers to be had,
there's nuances and pushback to be had, but honestly, I'm
not interested in all that.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
I don't want to push back on that man's experience.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
I don't know him, and I've already overstepped my bounds
by saying, like this white dude did this, that, and
the other.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
So I apologize that dude, if he's out.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
There listening, and I'm sure you know many this thing
is probably not a new issue for him. If you can,
you can take one look at him and see he's
probably been dealing with this his whole life.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Yep. But uh yeah, that's for him to deal with.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
You know.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
It's kind of like logic. People will always shot on logic,
and uh, you know, I mean, but he is half black, Like,
it's like that is his life. So it's not for
me to speak on what his experience is. Uh my
grander point about whiteness and the you know, co opting
of our culture, I still stand by, but not him personally.

(42:57):
I would apologize to Agree says, this is a very
eye opening episode, from people being shot in the eye
to brass snuggles being popped and the eye together four
popeyes to the one end one eyed bandit becoming a mouthful.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
This episode was a ded a wild ride. Keep with
the great work.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Damn, let's see if there's anything on YouTube. Seven comments
on YouTube. Let's see what we got.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Will two K says, if you don't like us, leave
us alone, don't leave any reviews.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Put that on any everything. Yeah, y'all know how it
is with me when it comes all to hating and shit.
I don't like going back and forth.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
I'm gonna make my mom a proud. You guys are
not doing anything with your life. You may not see it,
but I'm trying to do I'm trying to accomplish something,
and you guys are preventing me from that. All y'all
haters like I'm trying to accomplish my dreams.

Speaker 1 (43:50):

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Jay Harris says, Love the show.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
The rapper that Stop Traffic is interracial, white mom, black dad.
I do like his music, but that freestyle was whack. Yeah,
a lot of people did say the freestyle was whack.
I didn't even get into the substance of the freestyle.
You know, I shutting down traffic is just it's not
It's not a smart decision making. I know you want
to be like, you know, a viral moment on the internet.

(44:31):
But I feel like most people are just gonna be
like that was really whack for him to do that.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
The rapper is Belly Gang. Cushing Ten used to go
by Cushington. His daddy black and he was raised black.
Y'all know, we come in all shapes and colors. I like,
how y'all saw that means you saw the person that
answered two days before your answer and was still like,
I need to say also the same thing. Let me
sure you know Rod Sherry Blade says, I really appreciate

(44:57):
this conversation.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
One walk at about one walk at the time.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
I haven't been to anyone's gym for almost two years,
and I want to get back to it because it's
such great stress reliever. This week, I've been going for
a walk every evening with my partner at the work
and it's been great.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
I want to do more, but starting here has been great. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Not honestly, walk every evening is already a that's an
amazing start. Like once again, all I'm saying is for me,
the goal was to be consistent, and consistency just changes
over time. My original like thing that I was doing,
I was going to the YMCA once or twice a

(45:36):
week and just shooting basketball for like thirty minutes, like
fifteen to thirty minutes, just shooting around by myself. Nobody
was in there, and you get you know, you get
more of a workout than you think because you know,
I haven't been playing ball in a while, so.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
My jumper was broke as fuck chasing that ball. Yeah,
so it's a lot of it. And they didn't have
a fucking tarp down in the gym, so it's a
lot of like running from one whole side of the
gym to the other and slowly walking back.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
So I got in, you know, and so I did
that a couple of times a week, and then I
started to out. Then I started walking around the track
upstairs inside, and then you know, eventually I got a track,
got the trainer, and then the trainer was like, have
you tried walking outside?

Speaker 1 (46:18):
And I and honestly, I was like, why the fuck
would I ever want to do that?

Speaker 2 (46:22):
And now I love walking outside. When I don't walk outside,
I miss it. When there's days where it's raining and
I have to do like the bike inside or something,
it's like, oh man, I really wish I could be
outside I walk in the rain. Now sometimes it's raining
and I'm like, let me get my poncho and go
for this walk. I want to see some turtles. I
want to see some ducks. I want to you know,
see people and uh and and wonder if they're racist

(46:45):
for not smiling at me. You know, I want to
get out there and have that experience. Walk by the
ice cream truck and not get any because I'm trying
to do.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
The right things. And that's a tough call. Walk past
the ice cream truck. I ain't even gonna lie Freedom
Park that ice cream truck on the weekends.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Boy that they know what they're doing out the ring
that bell. I think about it every single time. I
think about that shit like nope, nope, anyway, keep it going, Rock,
keep it going. Jason says, Run Nigga run for a
running club is nuts with wait.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
T you see our shirts? Oh no, I'm man in
the shirt. Shall I'm sorry? Ha ha?

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Or you can take the run DMC logo and call
run Club Rundi. I like Rundi, a sixteen year old
subway manager is While I do find it interesting that
in the novel one Call, the person referred to the
victim as our sixteen year old manager.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
I have a feeling that they always refer to her
as our sixteen year old manager. Of course you do.
Some folks at the restaurant are not happy answering to
a sophomore. Yeah, but Subway better be paying for that
baby's medical bills, college in grad school. I doubt it.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
I'm gonna just go on a limb and say, I
doubt that Subway is gonna be paying that down show.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
That baby probably getting paid six seventy five an hours
by they tax it down right.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
They're like, you got two arms, what's the problem? Use
the other one? The poe. Do you currently have an
exercise routine? Sixty six percent of my audience says yes,
thirty four percent no. Shout out to sixty six percent. Yeah.
Although that makes sense though, because I bet a lot
of y'all listen while you're exercising.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
And walking and things like that. I know some people
say they do. I know for me, when you were
saying consistency right now, my consistency is at least once
a week. If I go more than once a week,
that's cool, Yes, right now, if I can do at.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Least one start with a thing you can do again.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
That's it, Yes again, That's how I had to think about.
I was like, one time a week? Can we could
do one time a week? Eventually we'll push it up
to two once a week. I have accomplished my gold.
It's small to somebody else, but it's.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Big to me because I was doing nothing. Yo.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
I started walking outside here out my walk would be
about a mile, and I walked very slow, so like
my mile might be twenty minutes, eighteen minutes or something.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Like that, and you know, I would just walk.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
I had a little route now, I kind of know
the malage around where we live to be like, Okay,
if I want to walk two miles, I need to
take this route. If I want to walk, am out
in a half and need to do this route, but yeah,
you just do what you do.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
And I did that. I did like a few times
a week.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
For that was actually when I really started picking up
and like being more consistent. Was like, let me do
this walk four times a week, three times a week.
And I was doing that on my own, you know.
And I think that consistency was important because I don't
think if I would have went straight to a trainer,
I don't think I would have had built up the
mental forty two to be like, this is the thing

(49:41):
you need to do four to five times, as opposed
to this is the thing I'm gonna do once and
all right.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
I feel better.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Now back to whatever the fuck I've been doing, you know,
all right, because we don't have voicemails and we only
got one email, I'm gonna play another beat here in
case I need to put some music in here later,
I mean some ads in here later, and we'll come
right back. All right, let's get into the last episode,

(50:45):
thirty seventy five, the other McDonald you got eight comments.
Abia says, I'm very happy about what you said about
the protest. If I had to bet, I would bet
that the most of the people participated in then voted
for Kamla in November. I wish the protest full of
Republicans or non voters, because this would impress the current
administration way more and make them fear that they are

(51:05):
losing support.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
But for that, it's still too good. They are like
colt members with their Colt leader.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
If the Colt leader predicted the world to end on
a special day and it didn't happen, they will still
believe them.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
They say, our colt leader is so powerful.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
He talked to guy and convinced them to spare us
one more time if we only give the colt leader
more money.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Same here. The stock market is gone to shit.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
But it was always the genius plan of our stable
genius to make it way better in the long run.
You just don't understand his genius mind exactly.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
I saw people.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Talting the flip flops and the losses, and then the game,
and then the loss and in the game being like, oh,
he is so smart when negotiating. And the media has
been covering it horribly because they say shit like, oh,
Trump has ended He's called a ninety day reprieve on
his tariffs, but honestly he hasn't. There's still a ten

(51:56):
percent tariff on every country, and then there's one hundred
and something percent tarf on China. So actually, no, he
has not ended his tariffs or nothing. It's just all chaos,
and your treatment of it is good and bad and
easy like oh.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
What a great day.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
It's bullshit. It's bad, but it brings people together. I'm
sure it will bring Europe way closer together. It's bringing
everybody together, Like I heard China fucking with Korea now,
and shit, it's crazy. It will bring non evil political
powers closer together. Always feel bad for Americans and there
are as I know, millions of them who didn't support

(52:33):
this and have to suffer anyway as the world learns
that the US is not a reliable partner anymore.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
And all it's gonna do is cause people to retreat.
And all it's gonna do is cause people not to
give money. But people fail to realize we're such a
global economy and Americas and trillions of dollars of debt,
and we borrow a lot of money from other countries,
and so when we're considered unreliable and shit like this,
and people don't know what to do with their money
and where to put their money, you know, against the

(52:59):
dollar and like this, all it does is caut our
interest rate to go up, which means that we're gonna
pay more on this debt.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
And the man that doesn't pay his personal debts is
not paying the fucking country's debts.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
Right, and they do not.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
You know, he doesn't care because as far as he's concerned,
he is not gonna quote unquote impact him. That's why
he says stupid shit and dumb shit when most Americas
are like, what you're saying is not smart, because he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
This is essentially a private equity takeover the country.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Yes it is, and they's setting off parts.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Yeah, and then they're gonna be like, all right, all
the value is going out of America. I've enriched my
personal pockets and it's up to y'all to figure out
how to bring this shit back from the brink.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Because I'm out.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
I don't give a fuck about y'all or the people
that live here and the ones dumb enough to believe
in me. I also don't care about your economic or
financial or personal wellbeing.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
I'll talk with mister Appy about it. And I'm a
specialist in global economics, but can someone explain this example.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
There's a teriff on German cars. They're getting more expensive
for Americans. Americans could buy more American cars. Unfortunately, to
build more of them, you need stuff from other countries
also burning with more terrorsts, more working factories, a specialized workforce,
and so on. Even under the best circumstances, it will
take years to do. And in this time, Americans have
no other choices to pay more. Do I understand something wrong?

Speaker 3 (54:18):
No, No, you don't know, you don't. That's exactly that's
exactly what's happening. And we have a lot of dumb
Americans over here, go do American made? Well, bitch, everything
we every part of this quote unquote American made thing
comes from another country a lot of times, the pieces,
the pars, the repairs, like all this shit comes from
other places which have fucking terrorfs.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
It doesn't like you're not smart people.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Especially the specialization part, like that stuff isn't immediate. And
then of course the bigger issue to me is paying
American labor. American labor prices with the insurance and all
the stuff that's required, means that you're going to just
be paying more for the American version of this shit. Anyways,

(55:00):
So like this how I did it is gonna save
us money or make us money.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
It really won't.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
And it's not necessarily even keeping the money here like
it'll they'll just people find other loopholes to not pay
for that shit, or they just won't buy the car,
Like if the car is already thirty five thousand dollars
today and we're like, well, in two years, once the
American workforce does everything for in America without any crossover
from any other country, then all of a sudden, it's

(55:26):
going to be like, oh, okay, well how much is
the car fifty thousand dollars?

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Oh, well, fuck it, I still don't want a car.
I did see the.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Day that they said the terrors are not supposed to
be impacted on electronics now, so if you want to
get that Nintendo switch, I guess he's exempting that or
that iPhone. More importantly, that's the one because the dude
from the iPhone dude gave him some money. Tim iPhone
came through. So billionaires are getting their loopholes and brakes,

(55:58):
but they can't exempt everything.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
And also because Americans are so dumb before, I don't
remember if it's I'm gonna say it may have been Obama.
I think it may have been Obama. They in certain
parts of the country were a lot of manufacturers were
shutting down. They went, you know, they was like, hey,
we're going to re educate people. We're gonna, you know,

(56:22):
have y'all do these specialties there by talking about and
now people said no them, people said no. People said no,
we don't want to get re educated. We don't want
to learn. We like our cold or whatever the fuck
we're doing. Like, no, we're not doing any of this.
So it's hard to get Americans to do the jobs
for the specializations that would actually matter that if you

(56:42):
wanted to do this isolation, you need people educated in
these fields.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Yeah, it's a huge amount of denile happening here amongst
his constituents. Like you said, Colt, sorry for commenting again,
I'm on vacation this week. I'm pretty proud of the
cult leader comment where no matter what he does to
follow us see a genias at the reversal or the tears.
Who knows what will happen till the weekend. This isn't
politics anymore. It's a culture of hate, domination, and cruelty.
The members feel better because they think they are the

(57:08):
ones and the good graces with their leader and this
will save them.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
It will not.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
They enjoy the feeling of superiority because in their own
lives they feel inferior because they are hateful morons. To
reach them, people who want to do so need to
read up on deprogram deprogrammation.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
A deprogrammization literature.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Yeah, she says my comments go to moderation so often,
I'm starting to have all kinds of thoughts of my
nut job.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
I don't think so maybe let's not throw that completely out.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
It's possible, But as I told you earlier, don't worry
about the moderation.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
I will always approve them. It's gonna be fine. Yeah,
shoe Boody says.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
The man who said decon to your spouse is in
the key we Bro clip was correct. Why bring such
an adversary energy to your home, the one place either
partner should know peace?

Speaker 1 (57:57):
Act like you love your spouse. Maybe they got you
fail for it. Damn girl, we wasn't talking about that.
I'll be honest.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
I don't remember what they said in that clip that
I was judging it no completely different scale.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
It got me too, because I was looking like, nigga,
what boy?

Speaker 1 (58:17):
The they that's it's slick that gender wars. Boy, Now
that one cut me.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
Most of the time they don't, but that when I
was responded like, bita, what are we talking about him?

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Boy? That's how you gotta give it a good score.
I'm like, dre chet your wife better? The fuck is this?
You gotta give it a good score? Whenever it gets you,
will you forget that you're not supposed to be judging right.
I was like, dude, I'm like, what's happening here? Uh?
Mature young lady says I love the Ikas check. I
love that Akas checked the fresh and fit dudes. He
was articulate, made great points, hope that asses felt embarrassed.

(58:47):
It wouldn't have been received well coming from a woman.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Hoping a cod struck a nerve that will influence a shift,
and thinking, uh, I mean you're right about that, but
not being received well coming from a woman. But honestly,
it would have made a better clip coming from a woman.
I was judging it on how good would the clip be,
not how effective it would be. I also don't think
anything ever will move those guys, and I think people
need to recognize that that's the reason that they're all

(59:12):
constantly being this way a There is no reason for
them to change or address reality.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Or come around and grow as human beings.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
They are only being rewarded for being negative and they
basically just rubber stamp content at this point. That's why
just because they were being quiet in that clip, I
can't credit them with like wow, man, they get it like, No,
it wasn't reaching them.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
They were just It's all just part of a game.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
They're gonna be on their podcast or whatever fuck they do, YouTube, Twitch, whatever,
They're gonna be there saying bullshit the next day.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Yes, sir, Classic garn Bee lover says, I will not
be participating in any protests.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
I am clear that the white supremacy bunch is waiting
for the Justification to turn violent by sending in the
military and implementing martial law.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
And we know the Justification is a plethora of black bodies.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
Moreover, until though those who voted for him, and I
don't mean just the white ones and those who chose
to sit there, Rusty Dust is home in November, get
out and begin fighting the power. These protests are actually
only going to feed the hate monster that helped get
us here.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
They love owning the libs. Our pain is their joy.
I mean, yeah, you're right. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
I mean, to me, I don't think those protests are
in vain. I don't think they don't matter, so I
wouldn't go as far as to say they will. You
know that they they're just like, they're just feeding the
hate monster.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
I wouldn't go that far.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
I do understand what you're saying, but I think it
is important for people to see that people don't agree
with this shit right, and that they are together, and
that especially with it being the people it is, I
think it being mostly white people is good.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
I don't think. I don't know. I think everybody's own message.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
Everybody's doing their assignment, and this is what happens when
you lose, this is what you got left. That's why
I didn't want to lose cause a protest that I
know nobody's gonna listen to.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
I can't, you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Make me feel but so whatever, by that right, when
you have an administration that will at least listen, that
will at least try to attempt to do the things,
it does matter to me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
I'm not fully in the camp of like you know,
like I see tan Nazi coach.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Doing the speaking tour now or doing podcasts, and everything's like,
how would the Democrats supposed to save us? They can't
save democracy, they couldn't save Palestine. And my thing is,
I don't know that they couldn't have been more hard
on Palestine if they would have won, Like I really
think they would have been. I think Kamala Harris would
have been better than Biden on it. I think she

(01:01:47):
was singling towards those things.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
But I'll never know. I'll never know, and I don't
know that her saying that in the general election would
have won her the campaign. I really don't know that.
Maybe it would have, maybe it wouldn't have.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
I don't think as many people in America care about
that topic as people as it feels online agreed, mostly
because it's a conflict that's been happening for generations and
people haven't given a fuck the whole time.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
And I know that that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
We know for a fact that some of these platforms
on social media that pushed that conflict, as like the
we need to not vote for Democrats were bad faith actors.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
We know Russia pushed that. So all that shit stopped.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
I don't want to say all that shit stopped, that's
not true. We shouldn't say stuff like that. People still
did go out in March and stuff, people did protests
and stuff, But it just don't matter now. The people
in charge fundamentally could not be fucking bothered. If anything,
They're on the other side of it, agreed, and so
it makes sense that some of it, that much of

(01:02:53):
it has died down obviously, And I'm sure, because I
had already done a lot to keep that stuff off
my timeline, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
Sure that it could still be going on. They could
still be.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Showing bombings and dead bodies and stuff that people were
sending around heavily during that period of time.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
That might still be happening. I just didn't want to
see it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
But I don't need to see dead bodies for me
to be like, I understand that this is wrong and
that this needs to stop.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
H I will take that stement back. All that shit stopped.
What I will say is it slowed down. But like that,
that's a better way to phrase it. It slowed down,
and it's not everywhere like.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
It was before.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Yeah, I mean, like I said, it could still be
out there. To be honest, I was never in those clicks. Okay,
a lot of people were. I remember people, And this
is why.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
I don't know if you're If you're online a lot, you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Can be affected by a lot, and a lot of
us refuse to admit that the pot we're in is bailing,
and that someone that means someone's fingers on the temperature
at all times. We know that these these social media
sites have literally done experiments on our brain. We know
that Facebook literally went to see can we make someone
depressed and found out, yes, we can. If we show

(01:04:11):
them the right stuff on their feed, they will become depressed.
We can make people angry, we can make people happy.
That people took that as if well, then they took
their finger off the post. And of course now everybody's
just doing what they want. No, they gathered information and
these people who were at the inauguration for Donald Trump,

(01:04:31):
I'm talking TikTok, I'm talking uh Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Uh. That means also Instagram, that means Facebook.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Those guys at the fucking inauguration right to think that
they sat back, wanted the candidate, they wanted to be
there to support Donald Trump, the guy who they wanted
to win. Jeff Bezos changed the fucking editorial section of
the paper that he bought. This This is their fucking man.
If you think that they did not see the impact

(01:05:01):
of that shit on social media and say, whatever we
can do to or road the goodwill or the hope
or the fact that this is one option is better
than the other, whatever we can do, we need to
fucking do this syop.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
We need to get people feeling this way.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
We need to make sure that people stay home, stay unmotivated,
be anti Democrat so that our man Trump could come
in and turn Palestine into glass or beachfront property and
all that other shit that he said. As we can
operate on their brains enough that we can make them irrational,
because I'm sorry, but rationally.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Better is better than worse, period is of all things. Period.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
So the fact that you have people out here still
walking around like, well, look Democrats just wasn't good enough.
So we just need to deal with what's going on worse.
What is happening is objectively worse. There's no fucking way
to defend what is happening right now.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
It is worse.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
And if you just want to be mad that mama
was late to pick you up from soccer practice, when
daddy was an abusive alcoholic who never fucking comes around
other than the beat you, and now he gets the
full cussy of child, fuck you, That's how I'm feeling
right now. So it's to me, it's just a It's
like I said, I don't mind the protests that are
happening right now. I think they're they're they're mostly for

(01:06:18):
the good. They're what people are able to do. But
this is what you are left with because there are
policies and things that we pushed Biden on that we
got yes, And what what I got instead is well,
we didn't get everything, So fucking let Trump back in office.
And I think that's the most asinine thinking we've ever had.
And I think we're all suffering through it together and

(01:06:39):
and and I'm not just blaming the Democrats, which is
the scapegoat that makes everyone feel better, because we can
all go we're not Democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
So I mean, listen, I'm black. I always vote Democrat,
but I'm not a Democrat, So fuck them. That's the
real problem. No, man, it's look around your fellow citizens.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
The fucking problem. They we had our easy choice, and
well that shit. So now you got marches and TikTok dances.
And if that's what's gonna take to get the funks
back together, then I guess give it a shot. I
don't know if it'll work, because I don't know what
the fuck is gonna work at this point anyway, Right,
Mary says, I attended to protest in downtown LA. It

(01:07:16):
wasn't going to but Corey got me inspired to do something.
Even I feels performative. I went with some white friends,
of course, and they are the ones who voted. A
couple of them are even in a book club and
reading books on resistance, so they are very earnest and sincere.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
Yeah. I just I don't know what people got out
of mocking those protests. I really don't. I really like,
I'm trying to understand to feel better. I think I
think you're in the house. How are you superior?

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
You not doing shit?

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
And if you truly are unbothered, then let them people cook.
I don't know what was to be gained by being like, well,
they would have voted, they did fucking vote with those
are not the people that didn't vote. I guarantee you
these people.

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
That come out the fucking house with signs in a
time where Trump is in office, where you can see
their motherfucking face, because they were like, listen, I couldn't
be bothered to vote, but I can't go march now.
I guarantee you vast majority of them people voted.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
But I still think that a lot of these people
they feel a form of superiority to those people that
they went out there. They and for some people it
was a way to mock white people. For some of them,
it was a way to quote unquote take their frustration

(01:08:28):
on a group of white people that were not going
to be out there in the march and lump them
all together. And you know that's false, but a lot
of people were doing that. You know a lot of
people they're angry, they're mad, they're sad, and they're depressed,
and they don't know what to and where to point
all these big ass feelings and big ass emotions that

(01:08:48):
they have going through their brains. They spend a lot
of time online and online demands that you pull your
emotions on it, and you don't filter through your emotions
and you don't actually do the do the work to
actually get to the root cause of why do you
feel the way you feel and why do you do
the things that you do? And you know, when you

(01:09:10):
start asking yourself these questions that means things have to change.
You have to do self reflection like it's a deeper thing.
So instead of doing quote unquote the work, it's just
like all do the white people saying get you know,
it's it's a shortcut, but at the root cause of it.
It's it's a lot of sadness, anger, depression, all these things,
and it comes out as a well, I'm not out there,

(01:09:32):
so I'm superior to them because I didn't take my
black ass out there this time type of thing. And
this is my you know, me on the outside looking in.
And I think that you know, uh, not everybody, but
for a lot of people, I.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
Think, particularly online.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
I think that that's why a lot of people, you know,
they do those things, because it's easier to point your
fingers and blame them than it is to look at
your fellow voters and maybe even yourself and ask myself,
why did I sit out? Why did I didn't vote,
you know, or whatever the reason is, it's easier.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
To look at it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
I say, the people making that point did vote, Yes,
I do too, But I don't think they're saying I'm
doing this because I don't want to look at myself
and why I didn't vote. The people making that point
are like, I voted for Kamala. Y'all didn't go vote
for COMMLA. Now you're out here marching, and I'm like,
those people did vote for Kamala. So what I'm saying
is picking on those people is stupid in a waste

(01:10:26):
of time. Yes, I agree, Okay, I'm not saying you
didn't agree. I don't know why you approaching me like
we disagreement, but sure go ahead. No vin diagrams be
kicking people ass.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
A VN diagram is the two circles, and how much
do these circles overlap? So what people are approaching this
when they see the march, They go circle of white
people who set out and did not vote, and then
they go circle of people who are marching, and they say,
just the same circle, right, And I'm saying they are
not the same circle. Them circles are barely touching. Yes,

(01:11:02):
motherfuckers are not marching that didn't vote.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Same thing with the pink pussy at march. All them
women voted for Hillary Clinton. They put the pants suits
on and all this shit them. You can make fun
of them for just being white women, but those white
women are the good white women. I don't even get
what you get out of fucking with them. There's a
bunch of shitty white women who are volunteering to be
shot on that deserve to be shot on. That deserve
to be called out, go fuck with them.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
Yeah, I agree, and we are, but like this, we're
basically saying the same thing. But but your question was
why do these people that do the like why? And
that's what I was trying to answer.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
But my why isn't from No. I'm not asking a
why because I don't understand. I'm saying why because I'm
saying it's stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
It's like you're saying, okay, okay, okay. I'm not asking
for an explanation. I'm like, why are y'all doing that?
That's dumb.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
It's like it's like if I saw someone about to
touch a hot stove. I'm not really asking like what
is the motivation to make you touch it? I'm saying,
why the fuck you touch? You're gonna get dumb right?

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
This is it is a waste of time. They mean,
these are the allies, they mean the best good.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
I'm not even a person that's in community like that
with ally people, but them ain't the ones to be
shipping on.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
It's to waste the fucking time. Them ain't the ones.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
And you can't run everybody away and turn around and
be like why ain't nobody in the corner.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
But us, if you're gonna shoot, just shoot at the enemy.
That's all I'm saying. It seems stupid. Ain't that the truth?
Use your use your ammunition properly.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Yeah, it's why I'm not, you know, like people are
shitting on Uh. Anyway, it's just not it's to me,
it's a waste of time. And I know where it
comes from, but it's still a waste of time. Doesn't
make it right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
It's dumb. It's a waste of time. Yes, sir, Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
They were always They will also be there for burning
LC this Saturday. There are super hype, but I think
I'm one and done anyway. I think the best thing
I saw the march was when a member of our
group as if we could step to the side for
a moment to get away from a person with a
megaphone chanting out phrases. Turns out the megaphone person was
very pro Palestine and yelling to wipe out Israel, while
the person in our group wanted a two state solution.

(01:13:02):
Instead of bailing and not participating, our person just moved
a little out the way but stayed in the protest.
This is how I imagine a real big tent party
would work. We would have our differences but still stick
together in one common goal defeed Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
That's how it's gonna have to be. Yep, not gonna
have a choice. Like That's the thing that I think
is so funny is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Everybody always looks at the most leftist point of view
and go, how.

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
Do we get that person to vote?

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
And I'm always like, man, I wonder how many people
are sitting out because of that? Like it's all math,
And if you were in charge of being the politician
has to win America, you'd have to start doing some
math that you don't like. That ain't gonna make you
look like a good person and make you out to
be the most pristine person. You gotta start doing math

(01:13:48):
on like, Okay, how many people do I lose for
being like saying some shit that people can conflate with
anti Semitism and needing to fight that battle the public
every day and explain how I'm not anti Semitic. I'm
just blah blah blah, and it's a road votes and
good will? What cost me more that? Or being like

(01:14:09):
actually I'm gonna not speak out for Palestinians. Now I
gotta make that math. It's trying to win this country
is a very you know it's gonna compromise you.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Evie says, I forgot there were protests until I saw
a post about them on TikTok. While I doubt it
will change Dump's mind on anything, I commend those who
participated because it could inspire other people to take action,
like being more politically active, taking to the streets, are
actually working to get the apathetic.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
People to vote. Thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Stephen A stays taking talking out his ass. I think
he believes he's more important than he actually is. He's
one step below Jason Whitlock in my opinion, He's just
not Uncle Ruckets level quite yet. Like Jason, basically yeah
and yeah, everything he said, I don't disagree, speaking of
the buffoon with like he got called out by Nick Fuentas,
who basically said he only gets away with what he

(01:14:58):
said because he's black and a white person couldn't say
without being called a racist. I fucking hate that coon
for making me agree with anything Nick foint hast said.
But it's clear the reminder to him that tokens get spent. Yeah,
that was fun.

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
I like that. Nick, Foynt has called him out. I
was like that dude in Godzilla. Let them fight because
fuck them, fuck both of them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Honestly, and then fade away. What you don't see the fight.
I wouldn't even help, not a second. I wouldn't help,
not a motherfucking second dog, just a piece of terrible person.
The reason why Fresh and Fit didn't fight back in
that gender War's clip is because they never seem to
have a comeback for men.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
Only women, because they're clowns. Yeah. I don't watch them
enough to know that, but I assumed it all right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Last one for YouTube, we got Douglas, who says, rodeer,
I know I'm washed because I stayed in line for
over an hour and forty five degree weather to walk
in at the passport acceptance center.

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
I don't even know that that's why? Is that a
wash thing to do? I don't think that's washed. I like, what, what?
What is the non washed version of that? Everybody got
to wait in the line. Was it like a cool
line and you wasn't in a cool line? You wouldn't,
you wouldn't in a popping line.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
Maybe I don't know enough about the passport except the center.
But it would sound like the right. I don't think
there's a cool way to do it. Let's not go
at all, right, shikes. BA says we're looking to having
some of your fave pieces repurposes. Stephen A b k
A by me as Sassy also known that Okay sassy
A made me fall out.

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
And h I'm not gonna have my clothes.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Repurpose, man, I'm actually just gonna donate them to, uh,
like the people that you know, like Goodwill and some
of these closed donation boxes because it's probably bigger homeless
people or bigger people that you know don't want to
spend as much money as I had to spend on them.
Brand new ships and get this will be a lot
of y'all see a lot of people in Hornet's gear

(01:16:56):
that are just like you know, holding up signs of
intersections thank me be like yo, look at this dude
animated shirts and that Larry Johnson motherfucking jersey and that
nratol t shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
Right. But yeah, it's been I've been buying like like.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
This shirt here is three X and I have to
get them tall because like I still have a belly
and I feel like I don't want it riding up
on my stomach too much. So I've just been buying
a bunch of three X tall shirts for now that
are just like you know, so I can still do
a little bit of my comic book stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
But you know, I'm not buying too many because I'm hoping.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
This to keep going down, so we'll see. But I've
just been doing that lately. Andre says, I've been on
the weight lost journey for the past four years. Well,
elso roughly eighty pounds went from forty size forty to
thirty four. Yeah, that's what's crazy, is like the parts
of my body where it is more pronounced that I'm
losing weight.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
I like my legs.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
My legs look like they're great. Sometimes I see them
in the mirror, I'm like, wow, I got muscles and everything.

Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
Shit you flexing to do it thunder thighs out them
squats and pulling and stuff you be talking about doing.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
But like, nobody looks at your legs, especially not for
a man. You know, I guess nobody but me. It's
not like if I wear shorts or something, Nobody like, god, damn,
look at the calves on that guy. Like that's not
a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
So nobody but me, So I just know my legs
are strong, and of course, Karen, but it's you know,
it's it's just it's interesting because you know, I think
if I was doing it for vanity purposes, I'm sure
i'd be trying some other stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
But I'm not doing it for those purposes. It just
comes along as it comes along anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
But I know you ain't gonna wear them high riders
to show them thunder thighs.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
I had to donate a lot of clothes, and I
understand I wanted to make sure I could maintain my
weight before getting rid of clothes. I tried to buy
new clothes a little at time and not all at once.
That's basically what I'm doing, and we'll see how it goes.
Jane says, right, I totally understand what the clothes during
weight loss. Nobody tells you. It's like the reverse of
going out of your clothes as a kid. I would
definitely say keep the pieces that are really special to you,

(01:19:03):
but not because you will fit in them again, but
because that's special.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Lol.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
Yeah, I'm looking at this Larry Johnson jersey, like what
do I do? Uh, It's like a jersey hoodie or whatever.
I'll probably be able to buy different one they different size.
I'm just I might just wait a while before I
do that because to me, hoodies can be big. I
don't think a hoodie to me don't need to be fitting.
It just need to, like, you know, be a hoodie.

Speaker 3 (01:19:29):
Okay, If I said yeah, because they've got alteration places.

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
Yeah I'm not. I'm okay right now. None of this
is y'all don't have to come up with solutions for
any of this. I'm okay. It's just I was sharing
my journey. It wasn't really.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
I didn't mean to trigger anybody, but it's definitely a
mental hurder when you built up a collection of clothes
you love great work.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
You and Karen are the best. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
The real thing is gonna be when can I when
will I start buying some of these t public nerd
shirts again? That's gonna be the real one, because right
now all of them are getting just slightly awkwardly big.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
They're not like hugely big, but they're just like I look,
they're bigger.

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
Than they need to be, and sometimes they're slumping off
me just a little bit in a way that makes
them not fitting.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
So I have to think about that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Rashad says, run ran in the Harrison fordst Jet is
such an underrated reference.

Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
Thanks buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
Okay, not everybody be picking up when I put down KOCHI.
Niggro says, you are killing y'all are killing me. Jason says,
I can definitely relate to the bucket hat banter. A
few years ago when they were giving out Devin Booker
T shirts at the arena out here, we showed up
extra early to secure the package. Now, the T shirt
ended up being medium rare, so I only got one

(01:20:41):
way out of it before it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
Shrunk too much in the drier, but we got the shirts.
Steven A. Smith might be an example of the power
of the suit.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
If I told you there was a dude running around
saying outlandis can, trying things every day and then threatening
to run for president, you'd be like, what's Kanye up to?

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Now? I think it's fair to ask if.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
There is legitimately something wrong with him. He seems increasingly unhinged.
That Lebron confrontation might be his Obama clowan and Trumpet
a correspondence then in a moment, Yeah, and I've.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
Listened to him for lack. I've listened to him what
I would call lie. I think he lied.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
I listened to him on Karen Hunter's show when he
was interviewed by her, and he seemed to completely be
coaching and understand how ridiculous it was for a person
like him to claim he would run for president, and
now he has spent nothing but since time since then
talking about I need to take this seriously. I have
no choice to take this seriously, as if he's really
going to run for president, whether he does or not

(01:21:35):
is not important to me. A man of integrity and
of his word would have said, I did tell this
woman I was not gonna do that. A week later,
I am acting like I am going to do that.
Whether I'm playing a game or not, I am at
least being morally inconsistent. And he seems to have been
caught in a lot of contradicting opinions and shit of

(01:21:55):
late lately, even the Lebron's stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
I never had a problem with him, I never liked
him whatever. Man, it's just sad to see a dude
go out like.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
That, who I think is a very talented TV person,
like he's very good at making great TV, and I
don't know why he needs to move beyond friviolity other
than just his ego and narcissism, because he's great at
being frivolous. He's one of the best people we've ever
had in this country at just taking something frivolous and

(01:22:24):
being able to turn it in the entertainment Sports is
very good because sports doesn't really need to matter. But
every time he delves outside of sports, he just shows that.
It makes you even look at his sports stuff like
damn man, like you really don't need to know what
you're talking about and don't care to know what you're
talking about because you definitely don't know what you're talking

(01:22:45):
about with tarifs and you're parenting Trump on these tariffs
and at the same time, like, do you really know
what you're talking about with Lebron or is Michael Jordan
just the guy that texted you?

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
So that's the one that show go. I don't know,
let's see.

Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
Ear Old Richardson says Rod did Eddie Kane Junior almost
ran into.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
The back of a truck? Also?

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
I love that we as Blacks have decided his name
is Eddie Kane Jr. I was so shocked the day
I looked up the IMDb and it was Eddie King Junior,
because I was king, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:22):
You didn't know. I thought that was Eddie Kane. No,
it's Kane King k I n g oh I thought
that an now it was. I haven't been saying Eddie
Kane c A n E like, y'all don't want to
hang with old Eddie Kane.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
I've been saying that my whole life, and I like that.
This person typing this made me go, Okay, it ain't
just me. I feel like all black people been calling
him Kane.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
The way he delivered that line sounded like Kane. It did,
and that's what it's gonna be. I wouldn't be surprised
if Leon was like I actually thought his last name
was Kane, and that's what I said. That's what I said.
Ain't nobody edited it? Uh? Did you participate in the
protest last weekend? Five percent of our audience did, ninety
four percent did not. Good for you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Shout out to y'all that participated. I won't be making
any jokes about y'all because I know y'all voted. Y'all
listen to this shit, so I already know y'all on
the right team. I agree, no need to make you
feel bad. In addition to that, you know already living
in this in America, all right, I don't think we
have any voicemails. I'll check one last time before going

(01:24:26):
to the emails. I wouldn't be shocked that they shut
the voicemail call lie down anyway. I think it's said, man, yeah,
you know, Scott, don't give up.

Speaker 1 (01:24:35):
They don't good for that. We were close. We were
shutting the dose down anyway. What's what? It don't matter
be shut it down early. We only got one email.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
And I'll play a little bit of beat. Let's play
Luminous from Infrared Crypto, one of.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
His new beats.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
I had like a smooth R and B vibe to it,
all right, Shatina Wright saying feedback show, Hi, Roding Karen.
I've been listening to the show for nine years and
you two have provided so many laughs. However, nothing took
me out more than Karen saying y'all better open up
them doors when Rod was making the locked doors joke
during the feedback show. I'm still laughing as I type this,

(01:25:42):
so I hope it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:25:43):
It does make sense.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
I thought it was very funny myself. I don't know
how many people. I don't know how people hate on Karen.
This show wouldn't be what it is without both of
your unique personalities. I love you, guys, I agree, I
agree oftentimes. You know, when I'm going back and submitting
clear to editing and showing stuff, I'm always like, you know,
some appreciative of Karen being here.

Speaker 1 (01:26:04):
Her energy.

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
I don't know what people think this show would be
without her energy, but I'm and I'm not saying this
to blow any smoke. I really legitimately think the show
would suck if it was just me. And that's not
me being like self deprecating to be like, oh I'm
the worst. I just think that energy would be totally
fucking off.

Speaker 1 (01:26:22):
It wouldn't be different. The You need the ad libs,
you need the yes and the and the and the agreement.

Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
You need the interruptions, you need the like uh uh
amped up moments that Karen provides when she goes on
like a rent or you need all of this shit.

Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
It is literally two puzzle pieces fitting together, and it's
if if you take away one puzzle piece, it just.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
It just don't. It won't be right, you don't feel right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
Yeah, I'm not interested in doing the show without Karen period.
So I don't even know why people would want less Karen.
I get why people would won't less me, but that's
also because they don't understand the show.

Speaker 1 (01:27:02):
They do not understand the show. You want less Rod, Yeah,
but that's fine, Like oneing less me is fine.

Speaker 2 (01:27:07):
That's like, you know, not wanting the straight man or
the narrator or whatever the fuck, Like, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:27:12):
Not wanting caring means you just don't get the show.
We all want Dan Levatar's dad off of Holly question. No,
you don't get the show. Yeah, this is stupid. But anyway,
let's not talk about those idiots that did that want that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
Let's talk more about We'll be back throughout the week,
all right, guys, we have no more Hornets games to
go through.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
Yeah, that's that's shocking. They didn't make the playoffs again,
the season is and though we're not even we're not
even in contingent for the play Who would have thunk that?
So I guess we'll be doing back for another season.
We'll be doing a few more shows throughout the week.
More than likely it might go up.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
Yeah, so we'll see you guys throughout the throughout the
week and whatnot, and uh yeah, and then I can
hopefully finally get through this backlog. When I tell y'all,
I like twenty movie reviews and I've just watched them
all by myself. Karen was not interested in watching any
of them with me, So you're probably gonna get a
lot of solo movie reviews if you're into that type

(01:28:12):
of thing. And I mean, going way back, these are
some These are some old reviews.

Speaker 1 (01:28:17):
I owe you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
That's fine, but I'll try to start knocking those down
since we won't be having to do some shit every
fucking night. All right, y'all, until next time, don't forget
discord link is in the chat, I mean chat. It's
in the show notes, So if you would like to
join that discord, I'm putting it into today's show notes. Okay,
