Speaker 1 (00:00):
Gorge. You listen to the Black Guy Who Tips podcast
because rawn and caring are ho.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Hey, welcome to the Blackouts Podcast. I'm your host Rod
joined always with my co host Karen, and we are
live on a Saturday morning, ready to give you some
feedback on your feedback. The official weapon of the show
is phone chair and the unofficial sport and bullet ball extreme.
Today's episode where we talk about your thoughts, because you

(00:33):
guys did have thoughts, Okay, you had things to say
and we were like, Okay, you know what, let's uh,
let's go ahead and take care of that. Let's go
ahead and think about what you guys have to say
and see what we can do. So we're gonna go
through your comments on our website, voting our poll. We're
gonna go through your YouTube comments, your emails, your voicemails,

(00:57):
all that stuff. There's so many ways to be heard
and that can all be found in the show notes.
But there are people who just give us money and
we like to shout them out as well because we
know they didn't have to do that, but we appreciate
that they did take the time out to do that.
So let's give them a shout out. May I have

(01:20):
a retention. We're now listening to CHARLOTTEO, Rod and Karen.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
We welcome good folks who tied to the black livery.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Tips, new bills, new thrills. Let's see who's hooking us
up this week. Laura F. Recurring donator Chris from Hawaii
as well, April G. We appreciate you, Tabitha M Corey
the Tickler, thank you, Alexis H thank you, Marlon B. Yes,

(01:52):
Marlon B. Wongo from down on the all the way
across the world, thank you so much for Australia. And lastly,
Tiffany B. Thank you everybody it took the time out
to donate. We appreciate you. And we also got one
new five star review from Awkward Take It Awkward. Cecie says,

(02:15):
five stars. This is my emotional support podcast.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I like that, ohmtional support.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
You know, we're just trying to help y'all get through it.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, sometimes you need it.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, I have mine, and I do TV shows and
all that stuff, so we can be that for somebody.
I'm always happy to be that. And that's all the
five star reviews, so we can go ahead and get
right into the comments on these episodes thirty one twenty
four Walmart with the Slave Pens. We had eleven comments
on this feedback. Show says politics until We Get Mad

(02:48):
as a great segment and a real service. When you
do it, I feel understood and think cool. Other smart
people are seeing it good. I'm not going insane. That's
by having my views. And also you are seeing it
talking about it and are making it fun when you
decide to move on to other segments, because it's okay
to still laugh and find joy elsewhere. It's okay not
to make the terrible politics the only content of our lives. Agreed. Yeah,

(03:10):
I feel kind of like, Yeah, the people who just
only cover politics, I mean, they either have to be
going through it or it's just like they're so cognitively
disconnected from like what's happening that it's like, I don't
know how you cover it without spiraling out because it's
your one job and then you're you know, on TV

(03:31):
or on your podcast or whatever just writing, you know,
writing about it, talking about it. I don't think I
could live like that.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Man, who that's that's it's a lot because it has
to be a balance there, So I'm assuming it has
to be an own off switch that you must have,
and it can't be owned all the time because not
trying to be funny. Regular ask people who ain't on TV.
They are some of them I own all the time,
and you can tell because, like you say, they spout

(04:00):
out of control. It's like, hey, dog, like you've got
to separate yourself from this, this cannot be the only
thing you.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Consume, right uh. And then you know, I know it's
just a job for certain people, but I think maybe
people aren't a lot of people if they're like us,
are not in a place to hear you do just
a job, like we don't want to hear you, you know,
with this kind of like oh, it's just this is

(04:30):
just kind of like things business as usual or hey
it's messed up, but hey, you know whatever, it's just hey,
let's talk about the next funny thing that Trump did
or whatever. I think, like, you know, seeing in and
your panelists and all that stuff, those shows, I would
imagine those shows have to be suffering somewhat if people
are on the same waveleaf as us, where it's just
like I'm not watching y'all debate when I know that

(04:53):
the people in charge are actually gonna just take people's
rights and all y'all debate on TV isn't changing anything.
Having the conversation on your podcast hasn't changed anything.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
We're good, right And also, I i'm'a I feel validated
in my feelings and how I feel because like stories
started coming out and they started saying, ah, a lot
of uh political podcasts and a lot of particularly left
leaning political podcasts, and a lot of like uh uh
left leaning t like you said, news shows. They was

(05:24):
like their ratings just tanked after the election, and David
saying they having a very very hard time bringing people back.
So I know that I can't be the only one
that's like I I don't. I'm I'm not in the
move for jokes. I'm not in the move for ha ha,
like you said. I'm not in the mood to have
a conversation that ain't gonna make a fucking difference.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I'm not in the mood.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
For uh uh YouTube cover stories that actually don't matter.
I'm'a keep that real, like you know, and and it's
one of these things, but I know it's a job.
You're doing your job. I'm not stopping you from doing
your job. But I realize I am. I am no
longer the audience for that because I don't have the
patience that I used to have. All my excuses are
gone now, so all this left is the truth, and

(06:05):
the truth is a lot of the things that y'all
do is bullshit. And I and and and once my
eyes were open to that, I tapped out, You're not
gonna have me panicking all the time. You're not gonna
have my anxiety hi all the time. You're not gonna
have me sad all the time. You're not gonna have
me depressed all the time.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I refuse.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
So I just stepped out.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Uh yeah, so interesting. We haven't heard many updates on that,
because I know right after the election that was like,
oh man, ratings are really down for everything political. But
I wonder if they've gone back up, or if they
stayed down, or if they've gone down even further. I'd
love to see like somebody doing an update about that.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
I would too, because it's gonna be interesting because I
know some people. For some people, that was a temporary thing,
and I get it, and and I think for me,
I'm not trying funny. I thought it was a temporary thing.
But it's turning into something more permanent for me, because
it's I have gotten to a habit of not listening
to these shows at all, and I have no interest, in,

(07:00):
no feeling. There's nothing knowing in me to make me
want to go back, and all the things that I
want to hear, they will never cover it.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
The German laugh exchange rate is a different one. It's true.
I'm very proud to know that when I face, for example,
a very serious German administrative employee in an office, they
will still laugh and let the human side out in
the interaction. It comes from dealing with customers, physicians, people
used to be in charge for two decades and getting
something like an additional sense for an entrance to the
sweet person behind the hard German shield. Sean says. Members

(07:34):
of the disastribating punditocracy have still not apologized for the
part they played in the twenty twenty four mess right.
Not only that they're doubling down on the idea that
it was all Biden's fault. They continue to lie about
the fact that there was a primary and Biden won. Yeah,
I really, truly, truly, truly cannot I can't listen to

(07:55):
people like that I know that it's you know what,
it feels like. It feels like I've never even seen
this movie, but it feels like when they talked about
how the band played on the Titanic as the ship saying,
it's like, bro, we are way past like playing the
same songs that you've been playing, like I guess what

(08:16):
they drowned? Yeah, but this is an emergency and y'all
are still trying to be like isn't this kind of
like Biden's phone for like, you know whatever. It's like,
we're if you would apply even fifty percent of the
scrutiny you had for Biden to the Trump administration, your
TV shows would only be about that all day because
the outrage and the constant conversation and the worrying and

(08:39):
all that it should be about Trump. And it's like
they're not doing it as much anymore. It's like, well,
this is what we got and if anything, I'm not
gonna be worried about it. It's really somehow the blah
blah blah Democrats. They continue to say that the annoying
gudfly who got half as many votes as Biden, came
within a hair's breath of winning the primary. Yeah, Bernie,
Bernie's never been able to get out the primary. And

(09:01):
that's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yes it is, and it cannot be ignored.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
It it's a glaring hole that people act like doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
They just want to like Honestly, if they had their way,
they would have the way that they claim. The Democrats
just like pick a person and put that person into
the presidency, which is such bullshit because when they were
picking people, they didn't pick Barack Obama.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
The Democrats have a democracy, they run a democratic so
whoever wins is who the fucking people chose. And it
doesn't matter if the establishment Democrats, older Democrats, people with relationships,
voters or relationships, it doesn't matter if they like that
person or not. The end of the day, when they
go to the poland they vote, that's who wins. And
sometimes it goes against what they want, and sometimes it

(09:45):
goes with what they want. But the end of the day,
they're not the ones going we were cheated out of
an election. Somebody stole this. They take the L when
they take the L, they take the W when they
get the W. And I think a lot of stuff
that people think is like Gotcha's a aren't Gotcha's Like
all these Democrats that are older and established weren't with

(10:06):
maldnnie or mc donnie or whatever how you pronounce it
in New York and he won. That's proof that they
don't put the thumb on the scale. They can come
out and endorse somebody, but that's not the same as
coorinating somebody. They're just going, I think you should vote
for this guy, and then the voters can go, I
don't agree with that, and I'm gonna vote for whoever
the fuck I feel like voting for. That's very interesting

(10:28):
that that is seen as like some sort of like
we got the Democrats, we stuck it to him. I'm like,
that's the process.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, that's the process that.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
And Bernie could have benefited from that process, is my point.
Like he would be president if enough people truly did
fuck with him. End of the day, they can't change
how people vote. So if it's something about his message
was not popular enough with the right people for him
to win, and instead of people looking at him and going,
how do you cater this message to make it better,

(10:59):
which is what y'all do with every Democrat. Every Democrat
has to have a message that makes everybody everywhere feel good,
no matter how racist they are and sex as they are,
homophobic they are. It's supposed to make everyone feel good.
And yet Bernie, it's like, fuck you, you didn't vote
for him, Fuck you motherfuckers.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Okay, all right, right, all of a sudden, that's cheated
and the process is rigged and all these other things.
And you know, and it's one of those things. And
I will say it because it's a fact. He's not
a Democrat, but every time he runs for president, he's
always ran on a Democratic party. There is a reason
why all these third parties and all these independent parties
when it's time to run for president, like really run.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Nobody runs independent.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
They actually select and actually a party for a reason
because they know that the third party is not valuable.
And you know, that's why I don't want to hear
people when they go third party. You do something, You
create this party that you've been claiming since I was
a kid.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
You do it. If nobody's going to do it.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
We have to live in reality of the system that
we have, and it is a two party system. And
it did what it was supposed to do. And like
you said, stead of him, going through the process and
accepting it. Everything was rigged and it was cheated. No bitch,
you lost well at.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
That point, it's not even a two party system. You know.
He's in the primary for the Democrats. So like anyway,
I don't want to revisit Bernie shit every fucking time
his name comes up. But whatever, he got his ass,
whill thrice get over it? He's not the savior of
the party. Is just annoyance. That being said, I want
to thank all y'all, of your all of your wait

(12:26):
all y'all for your contributions to the discourse. Your politics
segment is radically reasonable, and your choice to end it
when you get mad is very responsible. And sorry for
any comment I made that may have been misinterpreted as
suggesting that Karen was less than brilliant. It's not intention
It was not intentional. I apologize for the possibility of
my comments seemed disparaging to Karen anyway. I would seek
to be more conscious with my word than moving forwards.

(12:47):
It's not just you. I mean, it's kind of interesting
because there's this thing that happens. I like y'all write
in you know, tongue in cheek. I think I respond
to it tongue and cheek and joking back at y'all.
But it is written many times, it's not voicemails not

(13:09):
so I can't tell that if y'all are receiving it
as a funny thing, you know, So like, I hope
this apology isn't real, and that not that I hope
you don't have like like if you meant it. I mean,
I'm sure hopefully it's sincere. But I hope that this
is also a part of just kind of joking with us,
because I was not actually mad at anybody. You know,
hot dog gate has been a fun distraction. Yes, it's time.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's been hilarious.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
And sometimes I think because of us going back and forth.
And sometimes I think because, like you say, when people
hear us talk, what we say, and even if it's
in a joking manner, but how it's heard could be
conveyed per person, because everybody's senses of humor is all

(13:54):
over the place. But yes, to me, I have not
taken this serious at all. Even here in the household.
Is literally been a big ass running joke.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah. I bought Karen some pizza the other day and
the place I went had mac and cheese as a topping,
and so I got mac and cheese on it, and
then I took a picture and put it on our Instagram,
was like, can you guess which slices? Karen's so like,
it's been fun to us, I think, and I don't
think we played that rough. But yeah, I don't think

(14:25):
we play that rough. But it's I don't know, I think, uh,
sometimes I do go back and forth the listener. Sean's
one of those people, but I think from over the
years of commentary that is because he has a good
sense of humorself right, you know, I'm hoping that that
you Yeah, I hope you didn't really think you offended
any of us or whatever. I just I think it's
just funny when people said, you know, like Karen can

(14:46):
ordered to hot donk Rod, that's your job to save.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Her from save her from herself.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, that's funny. That's to me, that's funny. It's like,
what you're really saying is that Karen is so dumb.
Ms Barr says, this snoop, the snobbing me voted no
and the pole? What was the pole? Let me see
is your local Walmart? Nice inside? Okay? And I'm putting
nice in quotes because I knew some of y'all would
try to get super technical nice as a thing that
varies per person. I knew some of y'all would be like,

(15:14):
even in a clean Walmart that's in a good neighborhood
with no fucking slave, and they're like, Walmart, y'all are
gonna be like, uh never mean. So I get it
because I was much the same way until Target forced
me not to be right. I went to a neighborhood
Walmart to pick up some idols. In the store, there
was a wine tasting. Keep in mind, I have been
too many a wine tasting, but I've never seen a
wine tasting that included barefoot wine, random ass box wines,

(15:37):
and any other cheap eight ninety nine and other under offering.
And blessed the brother who was doing the poorn he
would he could not tell me any tasting notes and
just looked like he was pouring wine against his will. Oh,
you might as well pour it out some old English
and called it white wine. Damn pop.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Than, if you're gonna do wine tasting, the person need
to at least have some non in.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Chabout what they pulling, what they giving you the fact
they had a wine tasting was something blessed ours. Yeah,
so you voted no. But to me, I would have
voted that that is a nice Walmart, because they don't
do wine tastings, even for cheap two buck chuck or
whatever the fuck They sure they don't do that in
the walmarts. By me, the wine is behind the lock
and key.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
You knowin everything else.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Nep says, Yeah, the downgrade in our Seattle targets is
definitely a post pandemic thing. Some of them used to
be super nice, but not anymore. They went downhill crazy
past the past five years. They've closed some of them
down entirely, and they're always meddling our local elections of
politics too. So I already had a vendetta against Target
before any of this boycott stuff happened. Ronald Rafael says,

(16:41):
I was on a drive from Amsterdam back to my
base in Duchelin listening to this episode. I get in
my weekly frying for my good brother Rod. Then I
thought about the last time I set foot in the Walmart,
probably before the pandemic, so I voted no. I recently
discovered a Japanese store with prices in Walmart range. That
excellent for my walking. See, you can't go further with

(17:03):
my you can't go wrong with my leadership. Walk with me.
We're gonna sing hell Mary together, all right? Well, Lisa
in calmself, the PA or whatever.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
I would never I.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Do not respect that name. I'm just letting you know.
Ev says, I live close to the four Walmarts, and
three or white and one is black. I like how
stores can be white and black, and we all know
what that means. Yes, we all know. We don't have
to be like, uh, what you mean a store can't
be black. It can't absolutis it can.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Be yeah, m hm, cause you can have name like
like we're down here, we have Kroguls and you can
have Kroguls on on this Like you said that are white,
that's black, but it's still croaker though.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, they're not all the same. And I noticed the
black one has a lot all the baby formula, hair
care products and basically every hygiene product behind the PLEXI guys,
So I only go to that one if I'm in
that part of town. They do our people so dirty,
yes they do.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah. And then what was the CVS?

Speaker 4 (17:54):
So one of them Walgrings and one of them came
out I think with CVS and was like, hey, we
realized it can shit up cost us money. Yeah, because
I have been there places seeing shit locked up and
literally I can have a cart full of shit and
I've actually walked out before because like.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't want to wait on nobody. I don't want
to call nobody. Okay, you like something. Depending on how I.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Feel, i'd be like you ruin my experience now because
I got to somebody, Damn, I won't purchase anything for here,
and I've actually left.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I've lived a lot of stores because of that.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
And it's in the time when a lot of stores
are understaffed. Yes, so you really have to wait on somebody.
And in a time where after the Internet people are
very introverted and weird about talking to people. There's so
many people that like make text but won't make a
phone call, won't do FaceTime. So like the saying you
have to actually go speak to a human being just

(18:45):
to open up this key, to get the key to
open up this thing, I feel like a lot of
people probably are like fuck it. And they did say,
you know, statistically that shit has hurt theirselves.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, but and.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
And and the thing is for me, it stops my interaction,
like like I don't I interacted with people. But like
I said, I'm shopping. I just want to get my items.
Like you said, Hey, everybody's on the staff, and a
lot of times there's nobody around you. You have to hunt
down for somebody, and then you might be in the
extra you know, fifteen to twenty minutes and all that shit.

(19:15):
You like, I would rather do something else.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's what I just said, is you know, I'm yeah,
That's what I just said. It's the people just don't like.
I just think you're taking a big chance, and now
we know statistically it's been proven like it's not good.
And then arbitrarily, it feels like y'all do that shit
in places where black people live, which is crazy because
you know who steals the most in this country, fucking

(19:38):
white pet White people be shoplifting shit all the time.
Target is Target had to open back up regular registers
and close self checkout because white people will just fucking
take the shit.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Man.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
And I don't you know, I hate to cast those aspurgions,
but it's fucking true. It's not a big deal. They
don't go to prison for fucking shoplifting shit like us.
They're not getting targeted, it's not you know, And I
getting followed around the store like racism is so fucking
stupid because of shit like no, but yeah, she says,
but once I was in the white Walmarts around Christmas
and was randomly hugged by a man in a Santa

(20:10):
hat who smelled like he shit himself. And I have
to say, it's my experience. I care to have repeat it.
I don't think that's the Walmart experience. I think something
that was a one off.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
That was a experience.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
I don't think Walmart hired a shitty sand of the
hug people. I think he ran into somebody that was
had issues. Bottom line is every single Walmart where the
black or white you and at your own rest, Well
that is true. Nick Ju says, sorry to extend hot
Day hot Dog git another week. And Karen, my baby,
you know I love you. But mac and cheese was
not a side, it was a topping. If I worked

(20:43):
at a hot dog place to offer mac and cheese
and someone ordered one with everything, I too would include
mac and cheese.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yes, yeah, like I said, I completely understand that I
do and when I said everything, that's like he asked
me like several times. It was like you sure or
you won't ever rethink, ma'am.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
And I was like yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
He was like even maca Jell's like no, no, But
then I didn't mean everything. So that's the thing, and
it would be surprised. He've had other people ask for
everything and they'd be like you sure, you want everything?
Like everything everything, and most people like me think about it,
be like no, I don't honestly doubt.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I honestly doubt people say everything. But I think Carol
one one I am they had because we were in line.
We've been that place a few times. I've never seen
anyone water order one with everything, and they have once again.
I put the picture on our Twitter, but they have
the hot dog examples in front of you behind glass,
like this is this type of hot dog, this is

(21:40):
this type of hot do. That's what we offer. So
I doubt people are making that mistake.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
It's just me.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
It's all good. It was funny because it's just you,
you know, one on one. Some people just can't relate.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Man, But and I'm used to people one on one.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm okay with that. Also, and Rod. You know I
love you and I know you. This isn't your doing,
but it was like someone turned on the nick singleal
as an official Bay area of the show, I had
to write in the same food doesn't slap. I know
I knew you. I knew you felt they.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Go up into the sky.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I know that Earl Simmons night, that light shine into
the middle of the bay. What was that I heard
here come Nick Ju nothing but music slaps Ya dada
mean X. I don't know if I said that right,
because I'm not from the Bay and I try not
to like still know slang that I don't am not
familiar with. So if I apologize if it looks like

(22:43):
ya dada mean, but if I fucked it about, sorry,
but it's good to hear from you, Nick.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
It is.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
I just says Walmart lost out in Germany as far
as I remember, because oh and also thank you for
you know right there with the correction. You know, nothing
wrong with being Walmart lost out on in Germany as
far as I remember, because people uh this apia, because
the people the German unions are strong and wouldn't let

(23:10):
them exploit people so much that European competition and cultural problems.
Your Germans really don't like singing motivational chants in the
morning and other corporate motivational methods. I mean, who does.
I don't see the blackout tips family liking it. Yeah,
I don't. I've never worked at Walmart, so I don't
know anything about this singing song shit. That being said,
I've had jobs where you sang songs. It just wasn't motivational.

(23:32):
Like we used to sing Happy Birthday when I worked
at I Hop, and I think we couldn't sing the
official version because of some copyright shit or something.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Make sing whatever their version of it is.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, mine was happy Happy Birthday from the IP crew.
We hope your birthday like that?

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Mary says. I also walked to I also wanted to
thank you for continuing to cover political news to be honest,
for the moment, your coverage is the only one I
can listen to right now. Until media can be honest
and say what the real thing is and admit that
complicity in this mess, how do we even start? I know,
right it's so ironic that we're in the same place
that right wing people who said you can't trust the

(24:15):
media out of a you know bad through the music
gonna work because the media was spitting facts. It's kind
of weird that I feel like they moved the needles
so strongly that our media, because it is actually a
uh a business that is for profit yep, not news

(24:40):
because because that's what its main service is, it did
the customer is always right approach, which I think we
I mean, it's pretty obvious to see in the way
things are covered and who's allowed on TV and what
they talk about, Like you have the decided that you

(25:01):
want to appease and court the dollars and the attention
of people that honestly think you're a piece of shit
and that your corporations are biased because you won't just
tell them the same things that Fox News or A
Way In or whoever tells them, and they're never gonna
ever come over there. But what you have done is

(25:23):
made people like me though I can't watch Scott Jennings
argue with for people that are scientists or reasonable at least,
I don't want to see that. And so you don't
feel that that's a thing that is good for me
or the world right.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
And so it boils down to what we said before
your audience is nobody, Like like like you're not satisfying
anyone because you're not pulling in the audience that you want,
and then you're losing the audience that you have trying
to appease the audience that you would never get, So
your audience ends up being nobody. There's gonna be some
people just gonna stay no matter what, but people like me,
I'm leaving and I'm not trying to find it. I

(26:00):
do not know if I will ever come back. And
that's the honest to god truth. I was really crushed
and hurt and very disappointed in a lot of the
news media outlet that I've trusted.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
And went to for things.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
You know.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
I was one of those persons that was really really
plugged in and kept up with shit like daily you know, and.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Things like that. And also it even got to the
point where they started coming stories.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
They was like like the news media's had become people
had got so many sources from like the national news
media that they were saying people it became almost like
a disadvantage to local news media because everybody would do
like you said, you're ceenns and all that stuff. Then
they'd be like, hey, what about your local shit, and
nobody could tell anybody anybody about their local shit because

(26:48):
there was so focused on.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
The national shit.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
It impacts you, But what really impacts you is local
things and like your local news. You know, now everybody
has podcasts, so I'm pretty sure wherever you are there's
some local form you know, in your your county and
stuff that covers things. But people, like you said, they're
so focused on like the presidency, like these big things,
act like the other things didn't matter, and they all
have been impacted by this shifting, by this change.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
I also just think the only people left watching that
stuff is people that are just kind of addicted to it.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I agreed you addicted to.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
But yeah, back to this last week. You articulated so well,
how saying we're a Democrat cannot be seen as something
to be embarrassed about. It reminds me the La Mayor
election here, where the knock on Karen Bass is that
she was a career politician. Is that so bad? It
means a career of public service, knowing how the system
works and forging alliances. Yeah, I think it's so weird.

(27:40):
It's such a weird thing to do because it's not
something we do with any other job, right, So, like,
for example, if I tell you, like, man, don't listen
to this guy's podcast advice. He's been podcasting for twenty years,
people be like, no, definitely want to hear what he
has to say. He probably knows a thing, Like, well,

(28:01):
give me the book they wrote. I want to find
out how to fucking do that. But like, politics is
the one place where we're like, oh, you've been doing
this shit for a while. Fuck you, no way you
could be clearly something's wrong. And it's like, well, they've
been through scandals corruption And I don't mean them person
like I've had so many scandals of courage. I mean
like they've navigated that. They've they've been around for terrorist attacks,

(28:25):
they've been around for whatever emergencies and stuff like that
experience does count. They've they've talked to people, they've met
people that are constituents and voters. Like, I think it
was just something We really lost something when we started
dismissing that. And I think that's how you get Trump
is we dismissed the value of knowledge and know how

(28:45):
because we're so cynical and we're so fucking over it
that a guy like that a snake old salesman can
can sneak in by going, well, let's take your argument
to the extreme. You guys say experiences as bad. I
have none. You guys say, knowing how the system works
is bad. I don't know how it works. And when

(29:06):
people go, yeah, bring and change, now you got the
mess we have now?

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Yeah, And also that, like you say, this is a
new thing in my lifetime, because experience and expertise and
knowing your job used to mean something, but now people
act like, well.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know how to do your job. Yes, bitch, it
is a good thing.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
I know how to do my job because I have
experienced enough ups and downs and traps and inconveniences and
all that shit that you have not experienced yet. And
the thing is, there's nothing wrong with being inexperienced as
long as you willing to learn.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
But the problem is that people don't want to learn.
They just want to come in and just be in charge.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
And you're like, well you didn't, you haven't earned being
in charge, but you're gonna be in charge of some
shit that you don't know how to run.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, My problem isn't with the inexperienced per se right,
Like even the people that were talking about that are
career politicians. They started with out the experience, right, But
it's just the lack of appreciation and value for knowledge, expertise, competency.
It's like we're just rock and roll. Shake it up, man,
fuck it. It can't. It can't. Whatever happens can't be

(30:14):
that bad. And that's a very scary place to be
because look at how fucked up it got. So she
goes on to say this almost led our city almost
voting in a billionaire real estate due who is being
afraid as a maverick. Yeah, I was listening to a podcast.
I think it's called like Bill Maher, something about Bill Maher,
like Bill Mars sucks or whatever. They don't like Bill

(30:36):
Maher and they're from like La And then they had
he had a guest on and he's like going over
Bill marshauw. But of course they get into politics of
their own and things they believe, and like that billionaire
guy was a guest on Bill Maher that week. So
they were giving their commentary on them, and you know,
I'm listening to white dudes who you know, ship it
on Barack Obama earlier in the show, which is already

(30:58):
like red flag for me. And then also they started
shitting on Karen Bass and then they started and one
of the guys like, yeah, but this other guy, he's
this billionaire real estate guy who's been like he's like
he had some other scandals and shit in his past.
And the other dude's like, well, hold on, I liked
him and I was gonna vote for him, and let

(31:19):
me tell you why. And I was like, no, no,
turn the shit off, like you can't.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
You can't be stringent with your politics and all this
shit for like the black people and then very lenient
with the white people. They get to be a bit
corrupt and a bit loose can in a bit of maverick.
But you know, Barack Obama wasn't mean enough in office,
like get the fuck out.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Some people said he wouldn't black enough.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
And Karen, thank you for continuing to voice your anger
at those people who forced our candidate Joe Biden out
of the presidential race. I'm still pissed too, for real,
Fuck them forever. I hope Joe and Joel I enjoined
that grandchildren having a good life.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Josh what I said, like yeah, yeah, And like I said,
I know, you know, people have to suffer enough, but
that right there is probably gonna be one of the
last things I want them to give up because I
am warm about that thing.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
YouTube contents Ricardo says Rod and Karen keep doing what
you are doing. Love your honest takes on politics, movie, sports, etc.
Rod love you on Urban View with Karen Hunter on Fridays,
y'all are the best. Thanks buddy, Thank you Baby. Provocative
as fuck says that's true as fuck. Politics till we
get mad as my ish. I love the whole show,
but politics till we get mad as my favorite. Y'all
are fire, bro, keep it up. I'll never stop watching.

(32:28):
Damn thank you, like I said it. Really, that one
means a lot to me because that's one of the
ones where I'm like, I don't even know what to deal.
I hope this works. I hope this works. Derk Nahm
just says good feedback show. Thanks Winky Face, thank you.
Jazzy Sunflower says I feel Joe Biden should have stepped
down much earlier. VP Harris did not have enough time
to run her campaign. I saw her in Charlotte. She
truly energized the party. Just imagine she had another year

(32:50):
to do that. I hear what you're saying, and that's fine.
I mean, if you're saying, if he was gonna step down,
I wish he had done it, you know, a year
before or something, so Kamala Harris can have more time
and all that stuff. I completely can understand that from
a like, what do you call that? Theoretical standpoint, I

(33:12):
can completely understand that. I would disagree though, And here's why.
I think her only having one hundred days made it
so that the country rallied behind her. There was a
lot of energy, It was extremely popular. Because she lost,
there has been a lot of revisionist history. I don't

(33:32):
think there's a thing her campaign could have done to win.
And I don't think and this is the part where
I and this may be what some would call cynicism,
I call realism. I think if they had more time,
her campaign would have been worse.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
I do too.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I think there would not have been as much urgency
behind that campaign. It would have been just as much complaining,
if not more, people eroding the good will that would
not have been there would not have been a mandate
because of the lack of time to say, hey, we
are doing this, Get on the fucking bus, let's go.
It would have been a lot of like, I don't
know what about this person, and I don't like that.

(34:11):
I also think if they would have held a primary,
if they would have done a primary, I think one
she would have won, which is something that that's the
unspoken thing that no one says. When they're like, they
should have held a primary, what they really mean is
they should have held a primary and picked someone else
that wasn't Kamala Harris.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
That's exactly what you yes, and.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
I'm saying, I don't think. I think she still wins
a primary, And I don't think all the negativity of
Democrats going at each other would have boosted anyone. I
don't think who comes out of that comes out of
that unscathed and on top and everyone's rally behind them.
I think a lot of people come out of that
and they go, well, yeah, but did you hear what
I don't know. Did you hear what Gretchen Whitmer said

(34:51):
about Kamla. That's why I'm not voting for COMMLA. I
don't care if she did win.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, that's why they mean.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
That's why all the big names in media was like,
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not like they
was like just the bullshit, y'all like that.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Only that only happened because he had one hundred days.
I think if you have a year, Gavin Newsome steps in.
Gretchen Whitmer has things about stepping in. Bernie Sanders probably
steps in when they lose. The Kamla because she did have,
in my opinion, she had the vice presidency, and she
also had she still had the popularity of this newfound

(35:26):
popularity of being like, oh god, it's not Biden. Thank God.
So I don't think they win. But let's say she loses,
because this is the other thing that that some people believe.
I think if she loses, the black women vote and
black people in general are like, fuck, whoever won this? Yes,
I I'm now considering not voting or sitting us out.

(35:51):
I'm not enthusiastic, not because they even were, like I
just love Kama Harris so much. Some I'm sure, but
a lot of people is not about that. It's so
when it's the black ladies turn, all of a sudden,
everyone comes out the woodworks, and now she ain't the president.
She ain't gonna be the candidate no more. And I'm
supposed to get excited about Gavin Newsome, Gretchen wur Beter, Jay,

(36:14):
I think you guys well, Jazzy, I don't know what
you think, but I'm just saying in general, when I
hear that line of thinking, I believe it. It starts
backwards too. There was a way to win, we just
didn't do it. And I and what I believe is
that there was no way to win and I and
I even feel that way about if Biden stayed in

(36:36):
I don't think he would have won. I just I
think when I look at these results, I see a
bunch of people who wanted Trump. They wanted this, yes
they did, and everything else is like an excuse because
enough of the quote unquote good people. They weren't either
afraid of Trump or they were not willing to go
out and vote period. I don't think they were going

(36:58):
to a lot of people feel safe in this country,
and I don't think they feel they do. They felt
endangered at the four years of Trump four years ago,
and they were like, give me this old white man.
But I just don't know that they feel that way
at the four years of Democrat run government. They're like,
I think it'll be all right, Okay, that's what we
do in America.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
Yeah, that's that's what we do in America. That's how
people forget. That's how we got Barack Obama. We didn't
get Barack Obama because people wanted Barack Obama. And actually
at the time a lot of people prefer Hillary Clinton.
So I don't know why people act like, you know,
things were just given and they were not, you know,
as somebody who was alive, you know, during that time
we was at a catastrophe, and people say, well, damn,

(37:42):
I guess we vote for this nigga. That's not normally
how it is. That that's when the shift changes. It
gets so bad that people were like, damn, I guess.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Alicia says, what who don't like Justin? I love hearing
Justin on BOSD mainly because he'd be saying what I
think and yep, I said it. Lol. I think people
love Justin. But it's just my point is, there's somebody
that don't like everybody. There's people that listen to our
show and don't like one of us or both of us.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I still keep listening. They still keep listening.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
I don't know why you hear baby, I don't know
Cali Bru. Mike says what Rod and Cairn to try
and add to your point about people who are trying
to sell a bag of goods that Joe need to
step down, all while they were shitting on Kamala. These
people were trying so hard to talk about that danger
with the second Trump term, but the dumbest shit was
that they didn't want Trump to win. But we can't
get behind VP Harris. These motherfuckers were fucking the fucking problem.

(38:30):
White Republican with Wright republic Clan with two three k's
members don't give a shit about how bad, ignorant and
damn rong the candidate is. They stand ten toes down
on the symbol. But motherfuckers claim to be Democrats. They
can't shut the fuck up and soldier through to the
finish line and force the candidates to get the shit
done they want. Yeah, but they are afraid of hard

(38:53):
work with resistance. But they're not talking about the destruction
of shit with Trump. Last thing, Jim Corner of the
I don't know what it's like saying Jim Corner or
the Iowa Center, who is about to be ninety thousand
years old is running for office again, and all these
white Republicans are going to vote him because they know
he is a puppet for them and he'll do the
shit to destroy anybody else's way of life. Yes, yes,
this is what I'm talking about. And that's why when

(39:14):
I don't listen to people when they say Democrats need
to be more like Republicans, because to me, I'm like,
Democrat voters need to be more like Reprolicans. And when
I say Democrat voters need to be more like Repelicans,
I mean, you gotta fucking sack up. We probably won't
even cover it on the show because it'll be a
few days before we get to it. But like they
were mad at Barack Obama because he said Democrats need

(39:36):
to toughen up and stop navel gazing, it is and
I'm like number one, y'all begged this man to speak
every motherfucking day of my life. The second that he's like, listen, y'all,
and what did I say? God, I've said it so
many times. You keep begging Obama to speak. You never
like what he has to say, So why are you

(39:56):
even why do you? I don't believe you when you're like,
he he need to say something. Why I've never when's
the last time you said, man, I appreciate what he said. Never, Okay,
So why do you keep begging for him? He's not
your fucking daddy. And then the other part of it
is when he does say something to me, a lot
of it's real talk, and nobody want to hear it

(40:17):
because they have our own hang ups. But a lot
of his stuff is to me real talk where it's
just like, hey, I hear what y'all doing with the
protests and all that shit, but you're gonna have to vote.
I didn't want to hear that. He's not your fucking daddy.
He's not an activist. He's the fucking president. He got elected.
He believes in that shit. So maybe don't ask him
about the politics the political spirit if you don't want

(40:39):
to hear something like, hey, man, shut the fuck up
and start voting and stop bitching all the goddamn time.
It's not helpful. Stop looking at what we quote unquote
did wrong, and just get out there in the streets
and fucking start doing talking to the people and getting
out and get promoting your agenda. Like stop doing all this. Oh,
look at the party, looking at myself. It's what about us?
Stop it's not helping. And then they go fuck him man.

(41:02):
So I don't know, just drop another one of those
best songs of the year list. Let them be mad
at that, because y'all don't really care. Nope, the poet
is your local Walmart nice inside. Forty said yes, fifty
percent said no, and then like eleven or twelve percent
said I don't have a local Walmart.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, a lot of them closed.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Like well, not just that some people ain't even in America.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Oh that's true too.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
All right, let's go to the next episode. But I
gotta play some music so that we can throw a
commercial in here. Thirty one twenty five. F Ui, we

(42:07):
got five comments. Opia says Steven Miller has done so
many awful things, calling him out for his wife supposedly
cheating on him and saying he doesn't control this woman
enough and not exactly a progressive thing. What would be
the solution here? Call him out for his cruelty causes,
not something his wife decided to do. I mean that
seems like an easy solution. I don't mind people getting
dirty with him. I just like I said. My point

(42:29):
wasn't about Wow. I can't believe Gavin Newsom would go
so low. Have you met me? I don't care if
motherfucker's go low. No, my problem is you will have
Steve Bannon on your fucking podcast. Piece of shit. I
don't want to hear that from you. I don't want
you can't be mister, Let's have a conversation with the
awfulest people on the planet that are obvious white supremacists.

(42:50):
But also, but if this guy's wife's getting fucked, what
are you talking about that? Like, let's get some consistency here. Man,
you're anyway, I just says, f you Jay is Polish
language for the word you use to express discuss. Seems
to also fit this situation because the title was f
U I, which is fucking under the influence. Sean says,

(43:14):
no offense, no offense to the disastibation punditocracy who messed
up the election and yet to take credit. But you two,
Rider Carroll are the premier formo's political journalists of podcasts. Yeah,
I don't know about that, but thank you y'all all right?
So often that you have your own music for it, Well,
that's true.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
We do have all music.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
They're political prognosticators.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Morgan j.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Come back to how it started this point. I want
to retract that all the offense to the disastabatory punditocracy.
They are fucking morals. They deserve no respecting. All the offense.
Black scenes are twenty one says Hey. Karen Rodder just
wanted to chime in and say fuck Andrew Schultz. My
previous job allowed me and a coworker to basically work
alone in our office. They would usually play Brilliant Idiots.
I'm not a fan of Charla Maine, but he was

(43:58):
always able to get good get on the show. I
can uncomfortably I can uncomfortably say that I've listened to
every Brilliant Idiot episode up until twenty eighteen, so I'm
very familiar with the shift that Charlemagne and Andrew made politically.
Schultz has always hidden behind the facade of not being
racist because he grew up in n Wyld around all
the other coaches. But he constantly made racist jokes on
the show, and Charlemagne was right there at Agamaar. He's

(44:19):
definitely a type of dude who believes he can't be
racist because he fucked black and brown women. When Trump
announced his run in twenty sixteen, Sholtz began drinking kool
aid and began his pivot to the alright and began
the yeah, but he's funny bullshit. It got so bad
that it literally had an intervention episode to try and
pull him back from going too deep down the alt
right pipeline. His nickname for at least a year was Alright. Andy.

(44:40):
Charlemagne used his influence to get him interviews with other
popular podcasters and LinkedIn with Joe Rogan shortly after he
had a successful comedy special rollout on YouTube for Free.
The Rogan appearance in COVID nineteen was a nail in
the coffin for any of his sensibility, and he's been insufferable,
insufferable bad faith the actor ever since. As free speech
absolutest type. Anyway, it was I been experienced to see

(45:01):
someone go down the outright pipeline in real time. Take
care of Love the show, Thanks Black says that's very informative.
Here's my thing. Where are all my free speech guys?
Where they at? Where Joe Rogan Andrew where y'all at?
Because in addition to locking up citizens and locking up
immigrants for protesting, in addition to suing media outlets for

(45:25):
just publishing fact check true articles about the president. In
addition to that, you know, Stephen Stephen Colbert lost his job. Now, look,
there's other factors at play. I'm sure we could get
deep into why he lost, why his show is about
to get canceled, and it's probably not a direct Trump thing,
but I'd say it's not helpful and it never has

(45:49):
to be direct evidence for you motherfuckers. You've conspiracy laden
motherfuckers to believe that something's fishy, is up, something's afoot.
But yet CBS settles with Trump. Stephen Steve Stephen Colbert
says something about that in his on his show that

(46:09):
is chastising his own network, and then he gets the
news that his show's not getting renewed three days later.
That's way less steps of a conspiracy than all that
averamectin bullshit. And yet you won't see Joe Rogan, you
won't see you know, your Andrew shows. You won't see

(46:31):
uh theo Van. You won't see these people standing up
Bill maher bitch ass won't be standing up to be like, hey,
that's too fucking far Okay, this is not free speech. Nah,
you went to the White House and hung out with
your buddy Trump, and it's our fault for not knowing
who he really is when he's not, you know, behind
the desk taking away our rights. Evie says, it's an

(46:54):
anime junkie, it's Akai is one of my favorite sub
genres of anime. Anything is a car and watching and
even the vending machine. One my favorite is that time
I got reincarnated as a slim.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
I'm actually on the third season that right now. I've
actually I watched and I stopped, and I came back
and now I'm continuing on.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
It's a really long series, but I've been enjoying that.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
One titles sounds silly, but the main character is Oph.
He is OP. Another couple goals for those that don't
know what OP is kar overpowered. There you go, another
couple good. Another couple of good ones are Ree Zero
and Rose of the Shehell Hero. Yeah, I watched Rose
of Shill Hero. That's good.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Think there on their fourth season.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Karen, I have a few recommendations for you that I
think you would like that give off a cozy slice
of life vibe. Ascendance of a bookworm, and I started
that one Campfire Cooking in Another World.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Yes, yes, I watched that one too.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
They're making season two of that one and it should
be out probably about August and September on Run in
Litter on this year.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Yeah, so yeah, I enjoyed that. In fact, I watch
that one.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Yeah, you're not gonna name it Isicad. She hasn't seen guys.
You're not putting her on. She's putting you on. I'd
also recommend any anime with the word villainous in the title.
Most of those are isaka with strong female leads. My
favorite is My Next Life is a villainous. All routes
lead to doom and the female lead is so silly
but endurance.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
I've got a lot of those cueued up and a
lot and a lot of those are well.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
It varies.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Some of them, I like, she got Isaicad to like
an kingdom, and some of them they got I seen
a lot where they got Iscad into like a video
game and their character is the villainus in like the
video game, and they've like played video game or read
the book and so they you know, some of them
lean into it. Some of them run away from it,
so it just varies in it and it can actually
be some of my huh hilarious.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Andrew Shaw's is in fact not sorry he voted for Dump.
He's sorry that when Dump eventually loses favorability, he will
be remembered as one of those idiots who platformed him.
I think he's being PERFORMEDI and doesn't give a fuck
about what's going on. He cares about how he is
being perceived. Fuck him, And I hope he gets painful
him or is maybe he never have a painless shit
for the remainder of his days. Yeah, I agree with you, though.

(49:11):
I think it's I mean, that's what everybody on these microphones,
that's what we're in the business of promoting ourselves, really,
so I'm not really shocked that somebody like that would be.
How do I pivot myself out of this? I just
most I don't know, man, I just mostly look at
the people sitting next to him when he's doing this stuff, Like,

(49:33):
how do y'all really just sit there? Y'all don't ever
challenge this shit. Y'all, don't ever question it, y'all, don't
ever like y'all don't have any convictions or anything like
y'all just sit there along for the ride, happy that
his rising tide is lifting your boat. That's and I'm
sure there's people that have left, but I don't know.

(49:55):
It's like they don't. People don't leave and go. Man,
fuck that dude. Let me tell you, he ain't shit
Like people just kind of leave and disappear. The next
black dude steps up.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Still don't nobody know what happened to him either.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
The word to cancel comedy shirt and nod his head along.
You know. It's like, are your opinions even valuable over there?
They're not anyway. Michael o'velly says on YouTube after Trump
won on JRI one of the excuses for endorsing him was, well,
Kamala didn't come want to come here, so I didn't
get to know her as a person. Man, Get the

(50:27):
fuck out of here with that bullshit. H Nelson says,
in reference to the folks like Andrew Shows, I refuse
to give them the benefit of the doubt to think
they're fools that didn't know better. He knew the character
the man he voted for. In fact, he has lived
in New York City for forty plus years just like me.
He just doesn't care and it's only going to defend
on the defense because of heat is too much for

(50:49):
the fire that he fed the kindling too. That's a
deep line, Damien says. With everything that ticked off the
PRJ Project twenty twenty five list, you get a lot
of that reveal from a lot of people's shows, Rogan, Lumer,
even some of the dim side Cooney and Sanders. Yes,
a little integrity would be nice and go along way
in moments like this dark Andandra put In quotes tiny

(51:11):
cauldron of rage, laughing emoji because I think I described
canas that. Nick Designer says, referee draft, hilarious. You are
in your bag today, thank you. Nick Aleska says, Hey, guys,
so earlier this week, I'm in the gym, sweat and
taking a break because I'm sore. I'm seting on the
jump box, and I started staring around because there are
a bunch of fine women in that section, all doing

(51:33):
core exercises. My mom starts to wonder. Then out of nowhere,
I have the strangest thot come across my mind. What
did Rod and Karen have to say about Drake's fake as?
Did I missed the episode. I don't think so, because
I rarely miss y'all show, but I can't seem to
remember y'all's take on the whole thing. Almost all my fads,
Van and Rachel keV on stage, Jenkins and Jones had
that takes that very week. I think we took that

(51:55):
week off.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I think we did.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Secondly, speak and also like when you take a week
off in a pop culture show, like we have certain
things that seem like a big deal in pop culture
a week ago, it almost feels silly to bring them
up a week later when no one's talking about it anymore.
So I think the AVS thing for me was like
I've chatted on my group chat with people, made, you know,

(52:18):
retweeted jokes from people on but like by the time
we were hitting the mic say that next Sunday, I
was already I don't even think I was thinking about
the maps. Secondly, speaking of Gavin Newsom, then he used
to do a podcast of Marshawn Lynch. I went and
checked and yes, he had the politic and podcast and
Marshaan that, by the way, hasn't had a new episode
in six months. I wonder what his Tarrier audience was

(52:40):
for that one for that first podcast, but imagine the
new podcast that started two months after the first was
a response to the new admin and his new strategy
to cultivate centrist and flimsy right wingers. Love y'all have
a great rein of the week now, Ella. You know what,
I would watch the Marshan Lynch Gavin Newso podcasts and
then they bring on the right wingers. You know what

(53:01):
I'm saying that say that shit to marshaan face. I
want to see how you react. Hopefully. He don't even
gave me the vibe of a coon, so I feel
like he might be a good representative.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
They might be in trouble. They might be getting ran
over over and over and over again.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
And Naz says three forty eight a m. Thanks for
sharing and keeping me informed. All right, Jason says, you'd
hope that once and for all, people would realize that
Andrew Shaw's types are simply front runners. The only way
you swing from Trump to Zoron and alc. Is if
you absolutely have zero convictions about the stuff you're out
here saying. That's what I'm saying. It's all a fucking game.

(53:41):
It's just a fucking game. Our lives are at games
to these motherfuckers because you're not talking ideology. And the
thing is, and I know people were like, don't I
don't want to give him the benefit of calling him
a fool. I think he is a fool. Yep, Like
he's complicit and a fool. He does not seem like
a smart person. And a lot of people use not

(54:02):
being smart as a brand because what normally happens when
you say you're not smart as you have zero accountability.
So like, they're smart when they want to be right,
they're brilliant when they want to be their idiots when
they when they when they need a cop out. And
so I think that's interesting in that you know your
podcast is sitting around and thinking deeply and talking deeply
about things, even if it's not because you know all

(54:25):
the policies and ends and outs. But that's what you
do is I want to have these conversations, long form conversations.
And then the second song goes, yeah, but what you
said was fucked up or it was wrong. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
why are we holding me to some standards?

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Fuck you?

Speaker 2 (54:40):
There was some great a bench on this episode, the
referee draft is wild. I bet instead of coming up
on stage and tapping up the commissioner that they will
come up on stage get yelled at Bay Draymond. Also,
the docs do seem disproportionately crime written. You know, crime
is happening. And if the meeting is taking place at
the docks and the wear or the warehouse, or if
it's a black showed the spot wherever the spot ends.

Speaker 4 (55:02):
And yes, the White House is, and the White House
is nobody a big ass building.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
It's just a big concrete building.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
You know how in the NBA they have the shot
chart with all the dots for each player shoots from
on a crime tart. The docks would look like Shaq
in the paint, all the dots right. According to Hollywood writer.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
A bunch of exits there all over the place.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
The poe was Ken Paxson's wife has to stay in
the marriage, yes or no? Sixty percent of y'all said no,
forty percent said yes. I voted yes. The rules Yeah, y'all,
y'all be trying to be like, give her the feminism
benefit of the doubt, but I'm like, nah, I need
you to stay miserable. Both of y'all take my rights

(55:44):
one day and then be like, but I'm I can't
believe he betrayed me. Anyway, back to Hayton Blacks right.
The next episode was three, one, two, six and four
penny In for Poundtown Shoe, Boody says, the thing that
always comes to mind when someone brings up Ricky Henderson
is this bit by David Cross from the two thousands,

(56:04):
and it's a YouTube link that is a bit. You
can click on it on the website. Guys, but it's
two minutes long and it's not long, but check it out.
I love David Cross. He's one of my favorite comedians.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
He's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Say it's impressive how American people know the names of
medicines because of the director consumer ads. I'm afraid to
even name one of the products in the safety of
my home, and writing even a product name here will
feel like a sin, and I'm sure a compliance agent
would immediately appear at my door. Hello, Apia, you know
why I'm here. We need to talk. We heard that
you disrespected our values and are disappointed to punish to

(56:39):
punish me by mandatory hours of education and ethics and
our values and by having me write notes the foul
for days good that middle management here has the way
higher standards than the American president. I agree, even he says,
I think people may have may take hurricanes with black
names more seriously. For sure, I'm not sticking around for
Hurricane the Qwan or Hurricane Yes, they don't. They sound

(57:01):
like they don't.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Play Hurricane Laquetia. You might be in trouble.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
I think when they said they should I think when
they said they shouldn't even say like we're we're expecting
this hurricane. They should say Hurricane the Kwan is looking
for y'all, Okay, just letting you know it's out here
and it's trying to find people. It's not just not
one of them passive by hurricanes.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
It's not knocking on you at your door.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Hurricane Hurricane day Kwan says it wish a motherfucker would stay.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
It's doing the drive patch right right right, Stay your
ass at the beach.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
If you want to Hurricane Quavern say y'all got the
wrong one today.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Or maybe you got the right one.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
We'll find out at.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Eleven, Yes, find out at eleven.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Walmart does indeed sell sex toys, which they keep in
the person.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Hurricane Hurricane Sequitia said, uh, tables gonna be moving your
fucking around.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Hu I better stop playing, they said, and then they
hit the landfall.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
Say we say. The hurricane say, oh crap, I forgot.
The hurricane said, come on outside if you want to.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Walmart say, come outside. We're not gonna jump.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
We not gonna jump you.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Walmart does, indeed, I'm won't blow you away. Walmart does
indeed sell sex toys, which they keep in the personal
hygiene section. I found out the hard way when I
was walking down the island. The lady was taking the
deal do out the box, and thenver see the stuffing
in her pants? What? I minded my black ass business?
What what is happening at the places you go? Didn't

(58:41):
this shitty Santa Claus too? I minded my black ass
business and turned around. Later, while I was to check out,
I saw cops come in and talk to the man
drive swimmers for that lady. U n Il says, only
you can drop an episode where human fell into a
meat grinder. But over an hour after listen to this episode,
I'm still processing the Walmart sex toy high and butt
crack splits pipe shnannikins I am going back to school

(59:05):
to become an ethical butt professional immediately. Oh no, Rachelina says,
I don't care what the that that Wuno is in
the n and Casino's news isn't true. You know what's
happening in some universe and dimension, well not the one
we live in. I know, Sean says Elmo voice. Okay,
Elmo grabbing a sun rafer from the popo and it's

(59:26):
pr because of.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
The heck and losing his butt plug plug.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Elmo has a particular set of skills and the ex
mega heck of best. Have his head on the swivel.
Elmo's coming for you. Oh no, elm Let's see what
we have on YouTube for comments. We got fuck fourteen comments?

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Okay, when the hell we don't about?

Speaker 2 (59:50):
Uh My mom says, you crazy about the best Jerry
Carl athletes. She said, I think y'all got a new
segment Rod and Karen's weather report. I don't even know
what we said about the word Oh the black the storms, Yes, yes,
uh nasty Nack says as a Walmart employee, the adult
toys are usually in the pharmacy by the ky jelly

(01:00:12):
and tampons. They're usually locked up, so you'll probably be
waiting for days for someone to unlock it. Just order online, dog,
I can't imagine asking somebody to unlock like a sex toy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Right, I just ordered online?

Speaker 4 (01:00:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Can I get somebody over here? What do you need?

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Hell with?

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
I can I need some some products that are locked up? Okay?
What section over by? The personal personal section? The personal sex?
What is the person? I need a pocket pussy?

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
Sir?

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Okay, I just need I'm just gonna come out and
say it. Can you just bring I just need you
to come unlock the pocket pleasing for me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
They probably locked the loub all that ship, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
Now the love is out, I think. But he's saying
the sex toys are not the deal though.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
Okay, okay, that's the right, so right, that's embarrassing. Yeah,
to walk into like an old school point store.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
There's not enough self check out in the world that
I can't And then I know they gonna get there
and be like, oh this doesn't have a check yes,
price check out seven pocket pussy. This gentleman can't get
any pussy. Everybody, this gentleman right here send it to
my right. He is a loser. One commercial said.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
Price check two saded deal, though price Sect two staidy deal.
Though in the pharmacy you got.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
A real freak. You need somebody to need a manager
to get here.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
All across you'll be like, you know what, y'all keep it.
I don't want it anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Need a price check on antal beads. We got to
manager here. Most gen ZH one commercial it says suicidal thought,
says need a nap. A lot of them commercials say
suicidal thoughts, suicidal ideation. That's a heavy one, especially for ironically,
especially for anti depressants, because I guess like, if it

(01:01:55):
don't work, it can go to a whole other way
the opposite. So yeah, it's definitely in those commercials.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
She that's aged ninety three till Infinity shout out the
ninety three Infinity. I love that album. So it was
a mischief forever. Most gen Z kids don't have good
work ethic, but it sounds like that nineteen year old
was chomping at the bit Q see something. Okay, there

(01:02:29):
you go, buddy, good job.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Won't be fooled again.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
The Donatillo says, uh, they need to expand Hurricane names,
the black names Hurricane Shaniqua Jamal de Kwan and then uh,
none of you, Bin says, you mean Chantal don't qualify
Hurricane Chantal was. But I'm waiting on Dontavius to roll
up there, Black Hurricans.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
That's a good one, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
Yeah, I think someone just said that in the last one.
Tag Earl t one Oh says for the gender wars,
I give it zero. However, for the hygiene wars, I
give it a solid four point five. The edits worth good. Yes,
there are various povs, but not enough discussed or condemnation
from either side to incite the very necessary rage bait
for virality. The comedic banter is what gets the Repost

(01:03:16):
peak hygiene wars tend to have be when white people
start telling us their bathing habits or laundry deterged company
suggests we're using too much product.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
That's true, too much, y'all close, too clean.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
That was never missed on social media.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
They always make around several times a year.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
That's the best.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
Uh, it's like y'all using too me to tide pause
and bitches and people be like, bitch.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Fuck you, I use five right, it's the best.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
I feel like they should have to do that once
every four months, just so we have something to talk about.
Ramsey Phdne says, Karen took me cleaning out when her
banter about Blue Moon and the orange slices five stars.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
That's how I feel, because why is that commercial I like? Damn,
I don't ever get that hallucination when I drink blue Moon.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Any commercial was sentient food. I don't like because I
like the Eminem commercials and he knows a little doorable motherfuckers.
What's the goal here? Because now I've grown attached to
them and I don't want them to not be around.
So stop telling me that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:16):
Guess I'm a candadist, a candleism, because I'd be like cannibalism, Yeah,
because I will eat the hell out them.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Eminem's none of your business, says y'all forgot about Michael Spinks,
Jerry Carl That thing prevented concussions where you getting knocked
the fuck out, pissed Tyson off. The problem with Michael
Spinx is that I know Michael Spinks from getting knocked
out by Mike Tyson, so he might have been this
shit before that. Unfortunately, my at my age, the main

(01:04:44):
thing I remember seeing him do was getting knocked out
by Mike Tyson. So I wouldn't put him on my
top ten list. But maybe I need to do some
research and be like, oh, okay, he was the heavyweight
champion at one point or something, but right now he
would not go on my list. Now, please consider adding
former Toronto Blue Jay George Bell to the Jerry Carly list.
Oh yes, First of all, hes Dominican. Second, he can fight,

(01:05:05):
and did I am thinking this could be another segment
anyhow Love show? And then they attached to YouTube video
of George Bell getting in a fight. So but yeah, no,
I did. I forgot. I left him off the list, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
I said, it was off the dome, so yeahy be missed.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Yeah, Like, I'll write him down now just in case
I do decide to write about this so that I
won't forget to do the research. Ron one, three, five
nine says, y'all need to do that Jerry Carroll list
for real. Damn, everybody want this list all right? The
people are spoken. I'm gonna figure away out I get

(01:05:42):
it written. This is a unique, fun perspective and one
of the best ideas I've heard for these top ten lists.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Yeah, because it's fun.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
I wrote a list a long time ago. It was
a lot of posts. It's still on our website, the
Blackout Tips, but it was the blackest players, the blackest
NBA players of all time, and it was one of
my favorite things I've written. It didn't really get the
traction that I would have liked it to get, because
you know, I obviously it's just something we wrote for

(01:06:12):
our I wrote for our website, right, but it did
get like some people that commented and all that stuff.
But yeah, it was the blackest NBA players of all time,
or at least as I remember them. And like, I'm
just gonna read a little bit this from twenty eleven,
so it probably need to be updated. Charles Oakley notoriously
cold on a white woman. Oakley has made the rounds

(01:06:33):
off court. He wants threw a ball at Tyrone Hill's
head in a pregame shoot around because he'll owe him
money on the bet. Tyrone Hill wasn't even on Oakley's
team at the time. The funniest part is that during
the same year, Oakley smacked Tyrone Hill before a preseason
game and they were both kicked out of the game
and the top it off, he's been Jordan's wingman in
the club for years, going back to when mj was
still married. Manu bowl Bow Just look at him. He's

(01:06:57):
as dark as a Tim Burton movie The Throat. Then
throw in all his outstanding charity work for African causes
and his positive attitude that came straight from the gods.
Must be crazy, and you got one of the blackest
players in NBA history, Stephen Jackson. Stephen Jackson. If I
told you that big Shot Jacks likes to smoke a
Newport and take a shot at Cognak as a pregame ritual,

(01:07:18):
wouldn't you believe me? Exactly? And that's not even bringing
up the shootout in Indiana or to fight in Detroit.
He's one of my favorite players in the NBA, and
I was a static when the Bob Cats traded to
get him. I have no doubt that Jackson shows up
the NBA games about ten minutes before shoot around, starts
in socks and flip flops with a black and mole
under his headband. Chris mully.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
Chris Muller, that an' even for ever.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
Yeah, first of all, he's white. Chris Mullen. First of all.
I can't understand a damn thing that's ever come out
of Chris's mouth, can you? His GM tenure can only
be compared to Jordan. He was rocking the hot top
fade back with Kid and Play was still kicking it,
much like Rex Chapman, who also made this list too.
Date Sisters, I love me some x Chapman. This little stupid,

(01:08:04):
but it was so fun because the joke, the real
joke up here to me on my list is that
blackness is basically undefinable and that what makes someone black
quote unquote varies because for some people it's like he
did so much charity, he from Africa, he's dark skinned.

(01:08:26):
For other people it's like, I mean, look how he talked.
He get his haircut at the black barbershop. That's a
black man. Like it was all jokes, but you know anyway,
So yeah, maybe I will write that the poll do
you usually round up for your purchases? On last now
eighty nine percent of people saying no, only eleven percent

(01:08:47):
said yes.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Yeah, And I think for people I actually heard them
do a podcast kind of about this, and they were
saying that what they do is like they use like
for the embarrassment, and some people get in there online
that they was because one of the people that was
coming through to like, if you talk to me, I
was like, this is stupid. But when I'm in the situation,
I panic, or I feel bad, I feel the pressure,

(01:09:10):
or somebody looking at me, or I don't want to
cause it. This person's trying to do that job. They
act not your funny, They don't care fuck if you
do it or not. Actually, but we get in our
own mind so bad we want to have the appearance
of a good person that I think for some people
they just feel that pressure to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Some people actually like I do it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
Because I want to do it, but I gotta feeling
more than eleven percent is because somebody's looking at me.
They don't flip the table at my side, or they
just ask me, and I panic and I just go okay, right,
I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
I've had that happen a couple of times. Well I
just paid to and was like, oh shit, his dollar.
But normally I'm like, no, the round up is the
one I always say no on Y'a've never rounded up
fuck that anyway, next U, next one?

Speaker 4 (01:09:51):
So they'll nobody ever actually round down it wouldn't benefit
nobody but you. Yeah, they always acted around up. But bitch,
ask me the round down every now and then I
will say, yes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Please, you know what, You're right? I agree everybody ask
me that. Okay, I'll tell you what. We played a
lucky to draw. Sometimes you asked me to round down.
Sometimes you ask me to round up. Now, maybe I
will round up every once in a while. I'm like,
you know what, you guys did hook me up that
one time? Go ahead, get that thirty three cent players,
get that change back. What you know what? Dog take that,

(01:10:25):
get rid of that research that scoliosis on me. It's
on me this day today. Right as scientists can have
a lunch, he can he can big sized. You know
what I'm saying. I got you, all right, we gotta
go to the next episode, all right, Last episode of

(01:11:10):
the week, thirty one twenty seven Medical Debt is back.
Non comments. Appia says, most people aren't heroes. You are right.
I know I'm a less less a rule follower than most.
But still when there was a chance for me in jail,
for us, I probably wouldn't risk it, right, i'ma be honest,
I would have said, I mean and hopefully it's not

(01:11:32):
offensive to you, But I would have said you're one
of the most rule following this people I know virtually
through the internet, Like you won't even say a medicine
name on him.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
Right without being I think you extra extra paperwork.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
I think of you as missus rules. This is a
good if you think you're not following the rules. I
can't even imagine what people that think they following the
rules is doing, right, I'm fucking up there. They'd be
driving fifty five on this the speed limit exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Shit they might go on. They might be going fifty four.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
I said that, I'll get on the highway. I said,
my my crews control to fifty five exactly, not a
mile over or doneer won't get me. Officer Rachel Linda says,
I appreciate Karen's point in response to the news about
medical debt, going back to on credit reports, I interpreted
her point being that before the ACA, the lack of

(01:12:24):
access to ensure medical care and economic impacts of that,
such as the cost and ability to pay, followed by
the impact of to one's credit card credit score, sorry
most was more severe. Folks responsible for their dependence medical
care PREACA. Know this in ways that people who started
to take on these responsibilities on the ACA emerged.

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
You not right, Like your kids had to be kicked
off when they were eighteen. Reason why I know because
I was one of the people.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
I was eighteen.

Speaker 4 (01:12:53):
My mom was like, you have to get I can
no longer carry you. So when I turned eighteen, I've
literally thrown into the system. I had to come out
of my pocket, had to do all the COVID, I
had to do all that shit on my own. Now
people have the privilege of having their children owned to
like almost five, yeah, twenty five, you know, and so
your kid is able to go off to school, go
off the college, hand with these things. When you know

(01:13:14):
I was in school, you ain't having short You had
to go do anirfirmary and all that shit.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
Like So I guess for me that like that's what's
my interpretation.

Speaker 4 (01:13:21):
Like prior to that, the rules will a lot stricter,
and you don't people that you do not want to
go back to that you don't want eighteen, You got
to kick your child off.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Now your child is literally out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
There on their own Careen made an important connection between
the current circumstance where I was reporting on the historical
pattern shifts related to it as someone in her early
fifties this context, she had it resonated with me, and
I replied, I agree, and I appreciate that point as well.
Clarity is important because if I hadn't clarified that this
new ruling was not the same as taking away the
ACA or even taking away anyone's insured status, right, because

(01:13:55):
it's about medical debt, it's not actually about your insured status. Yes,
another less will be writing in and explaining the difference,
Like we didn't know. That's the only reason I fell.
It was important to make the distinct. She said, thanks,
and I agree your points complimenting each other, h yeah,
And I'll get into this in a second because somebody
else left another comment. But like, that's a decision that
we have to make on the show all the time,

(01:14:17):
and it's off the domee. We're having an actual conversation.
It's not planned. I don't know what Karen's gonna say,
and she doesn't know what I'm gonna say. I do not,
and so sometimes she'll say something and her mind works
differently than mine. Yes, and I don't always follow her
points from A to B. To C and so sometimes
I'll ask for clarity, and I assume some listeners are

(01:14:38):
probably asking for clarity or like, are we talking about
the same thing or do they not realize Karen's talking
about the ACA and that's different than what Rod is
talking about because he's just talking about medical debt and
credit reports blah blah blah. So sometimes I will make
the decision, not from a place of animosity or whatever,

(01:14:59):
but to be like, can you clarify? Like what, Okay, well,
I hear what you're saying, but do you recognize I'm
saying something different? Even if what you're saying is valid,
it's just not the exact same topic. So like, cause
I'm I don't know if Karen. Sometimes Karen doesn't feel
like commenting on whatever the article I thought was interesting,
it's like our next article. And then sometimes she's like

(01:15:20):
super interested and she can go on her own she
could do her own fucking thing about it for ten
minutes and bring up a bunch of shit I didn't
know and be like, oh damn, I didn't know they
did that. I don't listen to that podcast, you know,
like whatever. So sometimes in those situations, I think, what
people here is clarity, like me being like, can you
like this is what I'm saying? Is that what are

(01:15:42):
you saying? Are you saying this because I'm taking what
you're saying is not the same as what I'm saying, right,
And I don't think there's any conflict in that. I
don't think there's any tension in that. It's not And
you know, it's our relationship. It's a very secure relationship,
it's very long running relationship. So I think for a
lot of people, you know, it's especially you know, you
listen to a man talk to a woman. Many time

(01:16:03):
men just dismiss women's fucking comments or dismiss their acumen
or whatever, you know, or they pick fights with them,
and shit, we're not doing that, And that's the space
is safe for us to be able to be like,
can you clarify it's not an attack, and vice versa.
Karen has asked me, maybe not recently, or maybe maybe
but whatever, or maybe she does it then y'all don't

(01:16:24):
think it's a big deal. But Karen has asked me
to clarify, like, well, what did you mean by this exactly?
And it's not an attack. I've never taken it as
like oh, here we go. I take it like, oh,
this is an opportunity to expound, because my assumption is
we are kind of standing in for y'all. Meaning if
I don't understand something, there's some of the thousands of
people that listen to this, somebody else didn't. They were

(01:16:46):
like what does she mean? And vice versa. If I
say something that I think, oh cause, especially with me
and Karen being married and talking all the time, there's
stuff that we have our own real Karen will reckon.
Karen will say reference something or our reference something. It's
actually related to a conversation y'all never heard. Yes, So
it'll be like that's why caring all the time star

(01:17:07):
sentences like what it's like, it's like you said, and
it's not something y'all heard me say, Like it's not
from today, right, It could be from like we was
in the car and I was like, damn, did you
see that that car? Why it got that weird thing
on it? And she's just like, it's like you said,
cars be having them weird things on it. And so
sometimes if I can catch it in real time, I'm like, oh, wait,
what she means is this? Or oh yeah, so you're

(01:17:28):
talking about blank to catch y'all up. I'm caught up
like I could honestly, I could do the whole show
and we can never have any back and forth. It
could just be like no next topic. But that's not
a real conversation. And also we are doing this for
the benefit of an audience.

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
Yeah, And also that that thing is I appreciate that clarification,
you know, because, like you say, sometimes you say things
and how you how the thought flows in your mind
and how it comes out can be kind of separate
sometimes and you might not be expressing it right or
you might not have the right word. So when you

(01:18:03):
ask me to explain, it makes me confirm, and it
actually makes it forces me to explain in more details
what I actually mean or what I'm actually trying to say,
so that I can articulate myself much better, because this
is the audio podcast for most people, so that they
can better understand what I'm actually trying to relay or

(01:18:25):
relate to you, or you might be trying to relate.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
To me because I do, and the thing is probably
just the way I do it. Most people.

Speaker 4 (01:18:33):
Don't see it, but I actually do explain stuff or yeah, yeah,
but because it's the way I'm doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
It's different than the way you do it to me.

Speaker 4 (01:18:40):
So and also, I think, like you said, people are
sensitive of the way a man talks to a woman
versus the way a woman talks to a man.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
And I think it can be frustrating to be asked
to clarify something when you're kind of flowing, like I
get it, we're are humans. But it's never like I've
never felt any There's no animosity in it, is what
I'm saying. It's always to seek to have a foster,
a better conversation, and a better show period. It's never

(01:19:09):
anything other than that. I agree, even if we were
to disagree, I want to disagree on the grounds of
understanding each other completely. I don't ever want to And
that's not just a Karen, that's anybody that come on
this motherfucking show. For the record. If we're gonna disagree
about something, let's be explicit by what we disagree about.
If we're gonna agree, let's be explicit then too. But
like that's that's the so, you know, sometimes those conversations

(01:19:32):
get a little bog down, but I think it's worth it.
AJ says elections have consequences. Oh and also I appreciate
you right now to say that you appreciate that Karen
made that point, because that's important too, because as a producer, Brain,
because I'm fucking doing the show, producing and hosting at
the same time. Producer Brain Rod, there's all kinds of

(01:19:53):
shit happening out on see. You know, it's always it's
just going on too long? Am I talking too long?
It's Karen talking too long? Is this clip too long?
Is this listening thing too long? Is it Should we
move on to the next subject? Did we say everything
we were supposed to say about the last subject? Should
we go back to that subject?

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
We forget something?

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
All that shit is happening, and we're also having a
conversation and we're also making this podcast. So like you know,
sometimes when things go differently than the script I had
in my brain, because obviously other people are involved, and
even when it's me, it don't always go to the
right script. When it goes differently, like my brain is
my producer brain is like, oh should I control this?

(01:20:31):
Let it go, don't do nothing, I don't know, say something,
don't say something. It's a not happening it So, you know,
I appreciate when y'all write in because sometimes I'm like, Okay,
that instinct to be like, can you clarify or here's
how our points differ. It was valuable to somebody because
it made them be like, yes, and I see what
her point is and how that's gonna be an even

(01:20:51):
bigger part of this discussion. Because what I'm the reason
I'm honestly even clarified the ACA thing versus this this
insurance thing is because I think we're gonna have another
one of these stories not too distant future about them
fucking with the ACA, and I just want I just

(01:21:12):
want people to see like it was steps. It wasn't
just fuck man, we won't got health care. It's gonna
be steps to erode this shit because if they're willing
to cut people's Medicaid and Medicare, man, I don't think
they're stopping everyone thinks that ACA is safe.

Speaker 1 (01:21:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
I don't know, man, And I think you know this
same Supreme Court is like, you can't forgive student loans.
Will absolutely be like, but you can say fuck them
people's health care. That's my belief. Anyway. AJ says elections
have consequences.

Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
I live.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Indiana, which was a has a Republican super majority, were
elected the disciple of Trump for governor. I worked in
education and because of federal and state funding cuts, I
lost my job not a week later. I was built
for a surgery that I had last year and potentially
will not be eligible for Medicaid and Medicare because the
services are being cut as we speak. I know that
these cuts don't take effect for another couple of years,
but I hope that at the end of my layoff

(01:22:04):
period this October and that Medicare unemployment conversation services will
be available for me. But these but with these fools,
it's not looking good, right, And I'm sorry I happened
to you, But yeah, it's very real.

Speaker 4 (01:22:16):
A lot of people are going to be impacted by
a lot of these things because a lot of times,
when people lose their jobs or for whatever reason, all
of a sudden, you go through this window where they
want to give you Cobra. It came about it for
a fucking cobra, But there used to be a time
where they didn't even offer Cobra.

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
Like, Cobra is not trying funny.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Cobra is fairly new.

Speaker 4 (01:22:35):
A lot of people for to realize that everybody like
this shit is expensive, but at one period of time,
you didn't even get you didn't even get the choice.
Try to come out of your pocket for insurance. They'd
be like, you lost your job. I guess you ain't
got insurance today or tomorrow. You just you just so
so well, you know type of thing. So the fact
that you know it's a law that they have to
offer you cobra is something fairly new. A lot of people,

(01:22:57):
you know, they don't understand that because they hadn't always
been that way. And then you look at it and
you have a lot of people will will they be like,
so go to grace of God. There go I you go, Okay,
I guess between me losing my dis job and me
getting a new one, I hope nothing happened between that
period of time. I'm gonna be out here willing it
with no insurance because I can't ford obrah even.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
He says why white gender war is elite because I
believe about half of them are real, because they usually
come from accounts where the woman has made her entire
personality about being a trad wife, and then they'll make
a video complaining how their husband won't lift the figure
to help around the house, or they do something really
egregious and the comments section will say how horrible the
husband is, only for them to make a second video

(01:23:41):
of defending a husband. I've seen that before. It leaves
you to wonder which is it. There was a TikTok
trend where whether it's just they're minded for content for content,
none of us knows what the fuck be happening in
people housing right.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
It could be all made up. Nobody knows.

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
I'm sure there's influences that are getting like domestic violence
and all kinds of shit that just they're not but
that's not the product they're selling you. And there's other
ones that probably have perfectly fine, fun, great husbands and
great relationships, but they sell your relationship drama. None of
us knows what's real. Yes, there was a TikTok trend
where the wives or girlfriends would tell the guy to

(01:24:16):
pretend they're another woman, basically acting out how they would
respond if another woman hit on them. I have seen that.

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
Not that, but I've seen it where like the dude
come in, and I've seen it for men, and I've
seen it with women where they would like pretend that
they had like a proper something or something.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
And to me, those are the weirdest video well not
the prop I've seen. So I think you're describing the
videos where it's like a man sitting on the couch
and it seemed like he's making out with a woman
or a woman's laying there. That's not what she's talking about. Ohka,
She's like they come up to their husband. It's like
if I wasn't your wife, if a woman walk up
to you, basically it was like, hey, what's going on, handsome?
And then it's like they're supposed to react like you know,

(01:24:54):
I'm married, ma'am, leave me alone, And so people make
videos spoofing that as well. I normally see the spoof stuff.
I don't see the original, Like seriously, I always see
the jokes like and I love the joke ones where
it's like like they'll be like a woman to walk up.
It'll say like how your wife expects you to react

(01:25:15):
when a woman tries to holler at you? Yes, And
it'll be like the dude like driving his car like
eighty miles an hour down the street, like get away
from melone, run the woman over shit.

Speaker 4 (01:25:25):
Yes, put a mush in the face like I do
like those those little those are not now those ones
I be hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
Those are like the dad jokes of social media to meet.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
They so over the time.

Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
Yeah, over the top, that corny. They exist on these weird,
outdated gender stereotypes and stuff, but I still enjoy them.
That's very funny. Yes, For the most part, men would
push the woman away and say I have a significant other. Well,
one white guy literally spit in his girlfriend's face like
hawk spit. Uh the comments sex was up in arms,
say how disrespectful that was, and he doesn't like her.

(01:25:58):
Then she made a video defending him. Couldn't be me. Yeah, well,
I mean she hit upload. So my guess is either
he freestyled that or more than likely, he had her
consent to spit on her, so she would go a
little more viral than everyone else who would posted the

(01:26:20):
same video And it was exactly the same as the
last video. She needed to up it a notch. And
so yeah, the problem is if they're really together and
he's because that's the kind of shit that the internet
will find you and docks you get you fired from
your job whatever. All of a sudden she gotta come
and do damage control and go no, no, no, I
love him. It's just it's just a video, guys. He

(01:26:41):
was just I was telling him that yoke. Yeah. Now,
which I probably really discovered is that they be doing
some freaky stuff. They'd be spitting on each other in
the bed. But that's not my business, Sean said, silently
or erasing five two hundred and eighty word explanation on
how smokeless grills work. Nothing this year, Sean gets it.

(01:27:06):
Ronald Raphael says, ag Letitia James another name that disappears
whenever them low info or bad faith actors want to
argue about what are Democrats doing and they should just
hand it over to young people in the solution. The
amount of legal wins by that woman is astonishing. At
the same time, it's always fascinating to see the same
people throw her name in the race for New York
State governor mayor and everything she is is she so

(01:27:27):
is she performing or not? Because they make it sound
like only AOC and mom Donnie who nobody knew before
he ran a great campaign and one are the only
Democrats function in New York State. Everyone else is terrible, right,
and it's like you said low information earlier. It's just
it's honestly pop culture entertainment, but it's disguised as politics.

(01:27:47):
For them, it has real implications on our lives, but
they're I think I've said it many times at this point,
but people want their politicians to be celebrities and their
celebrities to be politicians.

Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
Yes, and that drives me fucking sane. The celebrity has
there's no power when it comes to how politics works.

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
I just wish that these click hungry media folks would
recognize that it's not a weakness of the Democratic Party
to have Letitia James, Jasmine Crockett, Baltimore may or Westmore
podcast CALLI, GV. Shapiro, AL Sharpton, ALC. Schumer, and Mom Donnie,
amongst many under the same umbrella. I'll take that over
Maggot any day. By the way, I don't fuck with
Democratic Socialists for the role they played in November last year,

(01:28:23):
but I will I like to win over GOP focus
so focused alert if you know what you know by
the way, or if you know you know by the way,
orcas protect their services is also available to any billionaire
trying to waste money on elections. Let's meet on the seat.
He almost got mad finish line, that couldn't stop himself

(01:28:44):
from hustle. You had to add that last.

Speaker 1 (01:28:49):
I gotta say something.

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
Said that when shoe Boody said, similar to the medical
debt the New York, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled
that hospitals must provide care to people despite their ability
to play to pay. Hospitals are big mad at this
ruling because they're all, this is unfair. Who's gonna pay
for this? They're all so close to getting the point right,
all right, And then YouTube we got fifteen comments Okay, wow.

Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
Oh before you gonna come, they go, who's gonna pay
for this? What is an alternative? You y'all let people
down the street.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
Well, that's what she's saying, Like I think I think
she was trying to say, like that's why we need
like universal health care, Like y'all so close one more step,
and it's not really the same in the hospitals. It's
just like systemically obviously, what we need the next step
to be is someone should pay you, and it should
be like the government. It shouldn't be about anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:29:40):
Agreed. Okay, I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
Now, yes, let's see comments on YouTube. Dark now just
says I don't want to know the science, laughing probably
about my smokeless real comments. He said, we had some
smoke detects that was so sensitive we couldn't do oven
pieces without setting them off. Same here. Ours was that sensitive.
I had to turn on the oven fan just to
open up the oven to get the peace out. Now,
I did clean it with some oven cleaner and stuff

(01:30:04):
and it stopped doing it as much. But our smoke
detects are very sensitive. In addition to that, dark Namda
says Trump is going to use people like Little Woody
as an excuse to take over Atlanta. That's hilarious. A
one eight seven instead of a video, he said. Richard Harvey.
Richard Harvey says, I wish y'all's message of needing more

(01:30:25):
damn versus Republicans resonated a lot more than it does.
Wouldn't have this ridiculous Supreme Quarter revoter for Hillary Henry.
It's always greed. There's no problem that has been helped
by us not having Democrats, right, I can't think of one.
And the only time that that possibly could have been
true is when the parties will flip back before the
Civil Rights Act era, Like, it's no way in my

(01:30:48):
lifetime that there's any progress in this government for black
people under Republicans. Yeah, in my lifetime period. And that's
not my fault. And it doesn't make me like a
Democratic apologist or sign of or whatever. It just makes
me real.

Speaker 4 (01:31:04):
Right, I'm looking, you want me to die, You're at
least trying. I'm gonna go with the person that's at
least trying. It is that simple to me and I
and maybe it's a weakness of mind, but I don't.
I'm not a person that really lives in theory, you know,
Like I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
Theoretically, theoretical conversations are valuable, but I'm not a person
that lives in dreams. In my head, I'm like, what
is happening? And what can we do now? What are
our realistic choices? And right, you know, That's where I'm at.
DMA two said twenty two says related to the medical
debt and STUDI loan conversations. I really appreciate when you
and Karen talk about how voters aren't held responsible for

(01:31:39):
the situation we find ourselves in. I find myself repeating
the same argument, most of those mostly to those who
are disengaged or on the far left. Not to give
you more work, but is there a way to create
a short for that portion of the conversation that I
can share with people that go into blame game Olympics
and start complaining. I'm literally thinking about creating a vent diagram.

(01:32:00):
I had a lack of voting makes living in this
country untenable. I've already started mapping out the Gore Bush election. Yeah,
the lack of voting is interesting, man, because people go,
I don't feel like voting, and then bad shit happens.
They go, why didn't anyone stop this?

Speaker 4 (01:32:15):
And that's why I tell people I hate to hurt
your feelings, but if you don't vote, I actually don't
care about how you feel because you opting out is
a choice, and when you opt out, you're literally seeing
whatever happens happens.

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
And I'm willing to live with that choice.

Speaker 4 (01:32:32):
And if something that you don't like, y'all are the
largest fucking complainers, but you don't want to put in
on it. And I always got something to say, and
there's always something wrong with the system, but you don't
want to participate.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
I don't want to hear you nowne of that.

Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
If I was a politician, I have to ignore you
because I don't even know how you feel because you
tell politicians how you feel with voting.

Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
That's how you tell politicis how you feel.

Speaker 4 (01:32:56):
So when you don't vote, you literally take your political
voice away, right, And so that's why I'm like, I
have to ignore you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:04):
If you look me in my eyest, I didn't vote, O, go, well,
what are you talking to me for? I did?

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
So I have the right to fuss about Joe Biden
and Commona havers. I have the right to fuss about
Donald Trump. I got the right to be pissed about
the Supreme Court. I have the right to do that
because I put my five dollars in on this pizza.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
Bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
Well, a lot of people have also convinced themselves that
their voice is like their Twitter and their Facebook and
air TikTok. You know what I'm saying. So, like when
you say voting is your voice, I believe that I
wholeheartedly agree with that. I think there's people that think, well,
I got this TikTok voice, that's my real voice. It's
like that voice has no power like these politicians don't
give a fuck about that voice like they care about

(01:33:42):
your votes. If that voice was attached to voting, then
yes they would care. But if you can't deliver any
amount of votes, if all you can do is be like,
but click on my content, give me that retweet. If
you're sucking the dick of TikTok and Donald Trump because
you're so addicted to it that you were glad he
brought it back, you're already his your voice. That tells
you your voice don't have power because you're begging for it,

(01:34:05):
for the right to use it, all right, Next comment,
any nutrition in the Nikki Yok says, any nutritions will
tell you energy drinks have no nutrition, no value, right, sir,
They have gotten away with highway ribery.

Speaker 4 (01:34:19):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:34:20):
Dragon two three seven six says, please stop correcting Karen.
You both are great, love the show and the topics.
I like how passionate she is about topics. And then
I said, when did I correct Karen? And he put
a minute mark, So now we're gonna listen to me
correct Karen. Guys, I would like to hear it myself
because I don't remember it happened so often, I don't remember, okay,

(01:34:42):
I'm gonna be correcting people on our show. I'm that
kind of person. All right, eighteen twenty two, Let's see
what happened.

Speaker 4 (01:34:51):
Those of of debt was medical beers. Like if anybody
filed for bankruptcy, it was because of medical beers.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
Like, wait, what do you mean haven't lived long enough? Well,
I feel like that was very.

Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
Recent, that was in our lifetime.

Speaker 4 (01:35:06):
And let me see, how was that maybe twenty years
ago now, like I mean now, but it was worse before,
like like before they started putting in the laws and
the protections, it was even worse than it is now
because now.

Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
I guess here's what I'm trying to say. These laws
and protections that I'm talking about have only existed a
couple of years. So they're repelling laws that happened under
Joe Biden. So everyone who's kind of sad. It's the
conversation about Karen was talking about. I was talking about
medical debt and how medical debt not being put on

(01:35:43):
your credit report has only literally just happened. Like so
when she said, people who haven't lived under these laws,
and I had to be like, wait, these the laws
I'm talking about are two years old, and I was
talking about like, and you're talking about the Acai. Well
we know now, but you know why we know because
I ask for clarity and I wasn't at that point.

(01:36:05):
I'm not correcting her either, I'm asking for my own edification.
What do you mean? Because I don't know? And I
didn't assume Karen, you don't know what you're talking about.
I assumed she was saying something and I didn't understand it,
and she would be able to explain it because she's
articulate and able to explain things and has been on
this show every single episode. I've been on this motherfucking show,

(01:36:29):
so I know she can do it. So I don't
know if it's like a coddling thing or like feeling
like Karen can't do it, or is it just a
hot dog gate again, I for I wasn't correcting her
in my opinion, like, I don't think that are corrected,
and it's.

Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
More of uh, maybe when I'm talking in it's like
a I guess sometimes and when you ask the question,
which is fine, it's a disruption, which is fine, But
like you say, what be fed?

Speaker 1 (01:36:56):
Like you say, this is not an act, so nobody
plans on these things.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
So as a disrupt we disrupt each other all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:37:03):
With you, I actually disrupt him, Wade, What did he disrupt? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
I really think a lot of it is the distrust
that we have between the sexes. I'm a man, me asking,
caring a question to somehow an attack. I know, y'all
love when she gets passionate. I love when she gets passionate.
She's gonna get passionate. I don't know why you're worried
about that. It happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
I promise I'll be back.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
But the most important thing is it wasn't a It
wasn't a correction. But let's say it was a correction.
Let's just go to your point. I want you to
understand something. As long as you listen to a black
guy who tepts podcast, we're gonna be trying to be correct. Yeah. Yeah,
there's no offense in being corrected. There's no there's This

(01:37:48):
is not a fucking ego plays. I get corrected. I
try to have the correct information for y'all. That's what
the fuck is fucking us up right now, is that
everybody's feelings are more import the truth. It's more important
in facts, it's more important than being right. It's like,
but what it felt weird? Who gives a fuck? It's
not about your ego. Sometimes you do get it wrong.

(01:38:11):
Sometimes I'm gonna get it wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:38:13):
I do, yeah, sometimes, particularly like I'll say something and
you and which makes sense because you are like I
want to be in fact You're like, well, actually that's
not true.

Speaker 1 (01:38:21):
Blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (01:38:23):
You know, and so and so I get that because,
like I said, we're all human and it's really easy
if we don't watch ourselves to mix our feelings and
start going off when when, like you said, they're not
based in like the reality of what's really happening at
that time. And so I do think like you say,
it's uh, I personally don't feel like like if that's

(01:38:47):
the clip, that's the example. It was more of a
I want to better clarification. Can you go into a
deeper thought process for me so that I could better
understand your processes? He said, Like, right, say, we were
talking about two different things, so he wanted to make
sure his clarification and my clarification were clarified, but they

(01:39:11):
were also in conjunction to each other. At the same time,
like like both of them kind of impact each other,
but we would actually talk about two Shepherd things.

Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
We're excellent communicators. One thing that y'all aren't hearing that
because you're not used to hearing, is I'm fucking listening
to Karen, which is almost I don't even been three
thousand episodes. I'm not even sure Karen's used to it
when she said, shit, I'm always listening. I'm recalling things.
I'm asking for clarity because I care. What y'all normally

(01:39:41):
used to is a very low quality radio and TV
and podcast, very low quality bullshit where they're just talking
the past the time they get to the commercial break,
they get to the hour mark, and they can't wait
to get the fuck out of there. They don't actually
care about you, And it's the reason that people like
Joe Rogan and Charlemagne and Andrew Shows and all these
people just reset every episode like it's the fucking Simpsons.

(01:40:03):
They don't retain any information, they don't keep anything going.
They you bring on a politician, it's like you've never
fucking heard of them, You didn't do any research. They
don't read the books that they have authors on the
fucking promote. They don't watch the comedy special that they
have the comedy comedians on the fucking promote. It's such bullshit,
And so y'all are used to that, And I'm not

(01:40:23):
not you personally, but I'm just saying that generally, we're
all used to it because people do low quality shit.
I personally feel like we a high quality show and
for part of what we do, I think the one
of the biggest hurdles America has, and maybe even the world,
but definitely America right now is the idea that it's

(01:40:43):
about hey man, vibes, conspiracies, information that's incorrect, wrong days,
wrong time, wrong facts, speaking as if you know about
shit like and when you don't, people sitting there Letting
Andrew Show say things that aren't true, but they got
they just wanted. They're so happy to just be on
a camera with that man that they'll sit up there

(01:41:04):
and let them say things that they know better than
because they just want to be around for that vibe,
for that for that boost, for that dopamine hit for them,
them likes them, plays and retweets. So my point is
our show's never gonna be like that ever, and neither
one of US is exempt from it either. If we
got it's not like we're doing an an animosity where
we're not calling each other out. No one's being ah,

(01:41:25):
you stupid motherfucker, Like we're just like, wait about it, right,
it's a wait, so that was twenty years ago. What
are you saying? That's that's gonna that's fine. And if
you can't handle even that little bit of whatever, you
just like correct, you call it a correction. I wouldn't
even call it that if you can't handle that, dog Like,
I don't know how you're gonna make it, because that's nothing.

(01:41:47):
Oh no, that's nothing. Dog.

Speaker 4 (01:41:49):
That's compared to other conversations I've had you, but just
in general, well in general, just.

Speaker 2 (01:41:54):
That's just nothing, like yeah, it's I remember when people
were floating into conspiracy theories around about out like you know,
the CIA putting fireworks in the hood.

Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
Not on our show, Yeah, doing COVID.

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
I hold myself to a higher standard than that. We're
not just on here just just bullshitting. If we do it,
we do it in a just bullshitting now segment. Yes,
but when we're talking about news, it's important to be factual.
I can't be on here being upset about how unfactual
news and other media is and then do it on
my podcast because somebody listening might feel uncomfortable. So no,

(01:42:30):
I will not stop correcting Karen, and I hopefully she
won't stop correcting me, and vice versa. Like when we
don't want to be corrected, we fucking say like, hey,
I might be wrong, or hey, don't write in about this,
but this is how I feel. Fuck it, We let
y'all know.

Speaker 4 (01:42:43):
Yeah, yeah, there have been some things I'm like, this
is how I feel. And sometimes I will even say
I know I'm being irrational. I know I'm being a
logical like I have said those things because you have
to be aware. But some people say those say things
they feel some ways and they're not even aware that
they're doing it. But I try my best, my best

(01:43:05):
to be intellectually intelligent on certain things, you know, when
it comes to like these feelings and these emotions and
all those things, and being the reality of what I
see and.

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
Not how I always feel.

Speaker 4 (01:43:20):
But how you feel does matter, and how you feel
can cross over into reality, don't get me wrong, But
your feelings cannot become the reality when it's not the
real reality, so he.

Speaker 2 (01:43:30):
Said, she got a little mixed up with time with
the time, but I understand what she was trying to go.
Just give her a little time to get her thoughts out. No,
let's just fix it right then and then just keep
going with y'all act like she can't carry on a
thought after that, Hey, wait, are you talking about this? No?
I mean this, And then she went on for the
next however long about the Affordable Care Act and what

(01:43:52):
she meant. So, No, you guys aren't good producers. I
like Karen Hunter episode with you and Roy what Junior
on Friday. You and Roy are great combination.

Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
They are They're fun together.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
Thank you, And also shout to Karen Hunter because Karen
Hunter will correct the shit out of something.

Speaker 1 (01:44:08):
Ren wrong or or in a heartbeat on the spot.

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
She'll ask me to clarify stuff all the time. Now,
I just happen to be way more on point than
most people in general. But I don't mind clarifying because
I say shit purposely, so I'm like, yeah, I didn't
say that off handedly. I say shit, back it up
with facts. And if I don't know in somebody, because
I'm human. If I don't know, if someone calls in
and give some different or better information. I'm totally willing

(01:44:32):
to be like, well, shit, my bad. It ain't no
big deal, dog, It's only a big deal if you're
an ego type person that leads with like, don't you
fucking don't you correct me, don't interrupt me, then then
that's an ego thing.

Speaker 4 (01:44:43):
Yeah, And I don't have that type of neither one
of us got it personality. And sometimes I'm actually better,
but sometimes my default is to say I'm sorry, you
know so, you know so I've gotten better and I'm
able to stam a firm on these things.

Speaker 2 (01:44:57):
Uh, Damien Foster says, I wonder if anyone is tracking
ways their resources, their administration as away as as so
many resources people being fired and rehired and fired again,
to the right to the farmer who because that all
costs money, to the farmer who have crowds that won't
be picked because they either can the us AID ended
school lunch programs or are rating farms indiscriminately. I almost
forgot about his birthday party. Insert tank wheel.

Speaker 4 (01:45:20):
Screeching, And my thing about this, this is when I
call white people's bullshit, and I know it's one hundred
percent about racism. A lot of white people always when
the Democrats are in office, they always complain about taxes.
Your taxes go up no matter who's in office, y'all.
No matter who's in office, they gonna find a way
to take your money and do something else with it.

(01:45:42):
So a lot of this shit has been happening impacts
taxpayers more than you actually helping, Like like if you
had these policies to help, you would see your money,
your dollar stretch further. A lot of this shit it
costs more to actually fire these people. It costs more
to restart these programs because because because because we.

Speaker 1 (01:46:03):
Flip flop, like we go back and forth.

Speaker 4 (01:46:05):
So when you end stuff and then have to restart
stuff and have to rehire stuff, or you have to
pay expertise that you actually had staff, they're gonna charge
you more. Why because now it's a consultation fee versus
them fucking being on the payroll, Like it's not the same.
And and the loss of money in and experience, the
loss of money in contacts and expertise and the things

(01:46:25):
that they know when their knowledge that shit costs taxpayers
fucking billions of dollars. Where is the goddamn outrage about
your mother fucking taxes. It's nothing but fucking racism. And
you can't tell me anything different because it's all I hear.
They're not try funny, even black people. Everybody complain about.

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
Taxes, taxes, taxi taxi, taxi taxes. But your taxes have
a purpose.

Speaker 4 (01:46:47):
But like this, and if you don't like where they're going,
and if you don't like what they doing, bitch, vote
and put somebody in office to make your tax dollars
do what you want them to do.

Speaker 3 (01:46:56):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:46:56):
And that says good morning. Medical bills is triggerings, so
sad they safe and well. The girl on the other
side of the road says Twitter gender war is so trash.
I'm not hungry, Jason says. You love to see the
party obsessing about what Epstein was doing to children. Sit
back and be okay with bump burning food intended to
save starving children. Right, nothing but consistency from the right.

(01:47:19):
That first gender wars had all the acting of an
NBA player making a cameo on a TV show. That's hilarious,
but putting the kids life in peril was ambition. You
gotta respect that British gender war was adorable. That was
more like a gender Hulla balloo, ha hulla ballo, hella balloo.
The poll, have you ever sold stuff to a second
hand store? Sixty six percent Yes, thirty four percent No.

(01:47:41):
Shout out to the thirty four percent. Y'all live in
privileged lives out here, y'all out here doing the day.

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
Did the pawn shop a second hand store?

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
Hell?

Speaker 3 (01:47:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:47:49):
Okay, but then yes, say so.

Speaker 2 (01:47:52):
In college I used to go to the record store.

Speaker 1 (01:47:55):
I was.

Speaker 2 (01:47:55):
I would go to Columbia House, order them CDs and
then go to the record store or and sell my
Columbia House CDs. That's how I learned you how to
mix it up, because I'll be like, twelve biggie CDs,
that's what you pay the most for. And they'd be like, what, no,
Now that you're selling me twelve, I'll give you five
cents each, I'm like, fuck you. But yeah, I have
sold stuff to secondhand stores. All right, trying to go

(01:48:19):
to voicemails. Choose one of these beats real quick. It's

(01:48:57):
all right, we only have a voicemail. We don't have
the emails this week. Oh wow, that's different, first time ever,
I think, yes, it is Anyway, here's the voicemail that
we got, and the voicemail line is, of course in
the show Knows.

Speaker 3 (01:49:10):
Hi, Rod and Karen. This is Aaron, a longtime listener.
I've been listening since like twenty eighteen. I usually email,
but this is the first time we need a voicemail
because I'm listening to episode thirty one twenty five. Fui
and y'all were bantering about that entitled like customer with Attitude,

(01:49:35):
and that made me remember a story when I was
working in Target about ten years ago in college, precamcillation,
pre DEI, and I was working in the electronics section
and this is when Amazon firesticks are very popular, and
I worked at the popular Target and this guy comes in.

(01:49:55):
He's like, oh, hey, I'm looking for a firestick. I
check we have done stop. I checked the back we've done.

Speaker 5 (01:50:01):
In stock and he's like, wait, what do you mean No,
you don't have anything stock your target. I'm like, oh, okay,
doesn't mean you're target.

Speaker 3 (01:50:10):
We can't run out of things. He's like, well, what
are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (01:50:15):
I'm like, I can check to see if the target
nearby has any in stock. The only one in the
stock was like on the other side of the city,
which is like maybe ten to fifteen miles, like a
twenty minute drive, because also late at night, it is
like nine, about two hours before closing.

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
And he's like, well, and that stort had about ten
to fifteen in the stock. He's like, well, by the
time I get there, they're they're gonna run out. I'm like, okay,
Amazon firecicks are popular, not that you know you're gonna
be able to get one. He's like, but they're gonna
run out. Y'all should give me a discount before before

(01:50:54):
going all the way over there. I'm like, sir, it
is not my problem, not my fault. I came here
and we just happened to be out of start. That's
a bad coincidence. You're like, but I should get discount.
I can sugar get something from traveling all the way
over there. I'm like, see that guy over there, put
me away this stuff. That's my manager.

Speaker 1 (01:51:11):
We'll talk to him, right, But I talked to him.

Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
That even back then, just a lot of people have
entitlement and they think they deserves things just because everybody
lives in their own world. But yeah, that's just remind
me of your situation, reminds me of my situation where
I worked at Target. Mother you guys, uh, I love

(01:51:35):
the show and I always recommend you. You're always my
top podcast in my Spotify wraps. And keep doing what
you're doing.

Speaker 1 (01:51:44):
Thank you, Thank you baby.

Speaker 2 (01:51:46):
We'll keep doing we're doing. And yeah, that is that
is wow, Like what just happened to you? I fucked up?
I just don't understand how that's not a that's not
in people vocabulary, Like damn, I went that.

Speaker 4 (01:51:58):
I've ordered, and I've one the thing where I've ordered,
I think yet ordered, and it was I got another location.

Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
I would either cancel or just go to the other location.

Speaker 2 (01:52:06):
I fuck up sometimes and I just take the l
like damn, I went to the wrong place. Wasn't supposed
to do that, and just I've never been like now
I fucked up, But now it's your problem.

Speaker 1 (01:52:19):
It's your problem, because yeah, how you gonna fix that?

Speaker 2 (01:52:21):
I fucked up? I'm waiting like whoa, yes they are,
like I said, no emails this week, So yeah, we
out of here. That was it probably AI some some
commercials in here somewhere. I don't know. We didn't have
enough breaks but guys making some commercials.

Speaker 1 (01:52:38):
Of random Random's locations.

Speaker 2 (01:52:40):
It is what it is until next time. I love you.

Speaker 1 (01:52:43):
