(02:48):
three star review and one five star review.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I don't care about that three stars. I don't care
what they said.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, Karen doesn't care, so we won't be reading it.
Five star review Good Humans five stars from Shay Shay
fifty nine, who says Rider Karen are refreshingly smart. I
love their humanity and candor. I'm about twenty years older
than both of you, but listening to you, I learned
so much. Thank you for doing the work and for
being good humans with heart.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Thank you, Thank you that matters. See five stars. Number
one rule, and it was nice. Number two rule.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
You can be said the sweetest things as you can,
but if you leave a three stars, I ain't trying
to be funny.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I don't care. I hate to be like that, but
the rules is the five stars.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
You left us three stars for a reason that means
we wouldn't worth of your five stars, so it's not
worthy to be reading them.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
It was interesting because the person left a comment where
they were hating, but they gave us three stars because
we're undeniavel you know what I'm saying, Like we're pretty
much none of your faves have been gone as long
as us and gone as far and don't you know
done what we've done with the show right in our
spare bedroom. So even they it was funny, even they

(03:54):
had to give some credit, like they couldn't give us
the one star full hater, they had to be like
three stars. But you're I'm not going to read it
on the show, but if you see, if you're following
on social media, you might see, you know, you might
see a screenshot of it with me making fun of them.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, and it's also one of them things.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Well we've had people to do this, but people left
like a not a five star and then came back
and revised, Like if you changed your mind or revised
and give us the five stars.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
I'm willing to read that, but I'm not willing to
read three stars.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I hear you. Yeah, okay, care as if she reads
any of them. Let's get to it.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I don't, but I'm telling you not to read.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I know, I know you're telling me what to do.
I know. I'm let's get to the comments on the episodes.
Thirty one thirty one Clarification Versus Correction was our feedback episode.
We got seven comments on it. Ibia says, when people
don't see that this is a great place for exchanging
the pinions, the show is just not for them. We
agree on lots of points, but not all. I'm a

(04:52):
rebellious rule breaker. Trying to prove it here and give
up my cover is not an option for me. I
work too hard on it. I know you're trying to
convince us you on the underground railroad and shit, you
can let it go. It was a joke. It was funny.
We would like to move on, you would like to
move on. Let's not kill the joke. It's hilarious and
it's enriching for at least me. When I write multiple comments,

(05:13):
I listen to the show, have a thought and must
be shared with the universe that think that's it, And
then one comment and then something new comes up, like
the ant to the presence, and I much share the knowledge.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, And I figured that's how a lot of people
when they leave multiple comments, they're listening life and they
kind of a comment as that life.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, I always just wondered about it. Sometimes I listen
to showing chunks. Let's see if there will be another
one this time running. Raphael says, I used to be
quick to anger or shall I say, frustrated, especially when
it came to people seeking clarification. Caused the interpretation long
time ago was that it was an attack on me. However,
the changes began much earlier than I anticipated, all thanks

(05:49):
to my second niece, Babby, said her and my siblings.
As soon as that kid could talk, she always hit
me with the can you explain what you just said
or asked me to do? Yeah, that's nice. You know kids, kids,
do you need to know why?

Speaker 4 (06:02):
And?

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Uh, you know, I think a lot of people come
down on kids for asking why and stuff like that,
But you know a lot of people, I think that's
actually when they start to learn some level of like patience,
because you're responsible for this person being able to navigate
the world one day, right, So you don't want just
a person that does shit without knowing why they do it.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Also, children, and everything in the world is brand new
to a child. They're experiencing all these events, these this
shit is old news to you old ass adult, but.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
To this child everything is new.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
And being raised by a parent that wasn't patient, and
being raised by a parent that I told you so,
and being raised by a parent to just kind of
sent you in a direction then got mad at.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
You because you didn't do what they thought you was supposed.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
To know when they didn't actually take the time to
explain to you, end up detailed where you could comprehend it. Yes, explain, Yes,
that like not funny, that's it's your job, you know,
and parents don't look at it ask their job to
explain to their children. And sometimes they be like, when
my child is dumb, no baby, Sometimes you actually need
to take their time to actually break things down. You know,

(07:12):
what you say and what they hear is not always
the same thing all the time. Now I understand, if
you have explained over and over again, maybe you might
and this is part of your patience that has to
kick in. Maybe you might say, Okay, I need to
change the tactic. Maybe they might be a visual learner,
maybe they might be a doer, like cause you know,
everybody has these different ways they comprehend. And like I've

(07:33):
always said before, children have to know their parents out
of necessity of living. Parents do not have to know
their child. But if you want to be a good adult,
you will actually learn your child. Learn your child's love language,
learn how your child kind of comprehends, you know, learn
how your child sees the world. It's a process because
you're both growing. There's no instruction on being a parent.
But guess what, bitch, ain't no instruction no being a

(07:54):
child either. You just trying to figure this shit out
yourself and kind of going along looking at the parent
as an aid.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah. Also, like kids supposed to be stupid, you know,
because they don't know kids they come in, they're relying
on you to be smart. I just feel bad for
the kids of the dumb parents because then they learned
to be dumb. Used to drive teenage me crazy, but
by the time I joined the Navy, it was easy
for me to communicate better, also to clarify when someone
didn't understand what I said for whatever reason and structures
that I gave. If I hadn't gone through that, I

(08:22):
wouldn't be able to talk to the integalactic kid when
she says something about her hair, friends, school life or whatever.
I'm assume he's talking about his own kid. I get
her to clarify where it's coming from and why she
feels that way, and we talk. If you go back
to the nineties and ask that version of me with
this with this AFRO, he would have said, fuck them kids.
They thought me the importance of They taught me the

(08:42):
importance of clarification. Shout out to Joseph for writing back
offering clarity on this comment. Oss respect such brother. Yeah,
I'll get to it later. But apparently that's not the
same person that replied back. There was a different person,
but they get in to it on YouTube. But either way,
I appreciate the ability to cli, Sean says, or opportunity

(09:02):
to Clifford. Sean says, I was listening to this podcast
on the fourteenth flight to an undisclosed location, not using
y'all as an alibi like some listeners. Let's just say
I'll be on munching on worst food on the worst
food I can beerly wait, Appia says, glad to hear
the black gul tips. Listeners are visiting my beautiful country.
Sean says, sorry, I didn't tell you ahead of time.

(09:24):
I'm doing an AI conerce, so I wouldn't have time
to meet. Maybe next time, he says, I know, I
should have been beerly. It should have been beerly. That
being said, the reason I posted this was to say
I'm listening to it a second time. In regard to
the current state of rap I think that move to
a twenty four hour cycle has done the same thing
the music that has done the news. It's created a
need for a lot of filler fluff that would have

(09:46):
been on the cutting floor on in a more same system. Hmm.
I have to think about that because, like I would say,
it's almost I don't want to say worse, I'll say different.
I'll say the reason I think it's different is because,
like twenty four hour news cycle still relies on this

(10:07):
idea that there's a channel that we're all tuning to
that we're getting our news from. And I think something
far more disruptive happened to music to where there's not
a place where getting our music from together. It's scattered,
Like we don't have an MTV VH one that shows
music where we're all like, this is what the world

(10:28):
is fucking with if and then where we do get
our music from, it's all algorithm doubt to be so
specifically catered to us that our experiences can be completely different.
You know the amount of time I run into my
friends who just simply are just stuck in their era
of hip hop or R and B A. They're not

(10:50):
going to ever hear new shit unless it's new shit
from old artists that are their age right, or if
it's so how it has pierced the culturals like guys
to a point where it's undeniable, Like what Kendrick did.
I have so many friends and I'm not like not
casting this versions, but I have so many friends that
I was happy to Kendrick didn't happened because it was

(11:12):
the first time they actually started talking to me about
hip hop that wasn't just you know, like either old
shit or like I don't like this new shit. So
and it was a gateway to you know, for me,
at least I have conversations while I'm either introducing the
other artists, so we at least got to discuss other artists.
And you know, I don't even care if they're kind

(11:33):
of like quote unquote posers, meaning like they haven't been
here for the whole Kendrick Rod, or they haven't really
kept up with all these other artists that have had
careers in this last ten to twenty years where they
kind of just stopped listening to music. I don't care,
catch up and let's have fun, because I just want
to enjoy the conversations that I wasn't getting the experienced
with my peer group. And I grew up in a

(11:53):
peer group where we used to have these conversations about
hip hop all the time, not just who is the best,
but like, you know, this album is good this. Did
you hear this verse on this thing? Like? I missed
those conversations, and I know that you really can't have
those conversations the same way in the advent of social media,
because too much is about stands arguing sales. It's just

(12:17):
it's not the same as a conversation I grew up having.
And so it feels like we're revisiting that a little bit.
And yes, so I don't know that i'd said it's
the twenty four hour cycle, but it is something. It's similar,
it's something to what you're saying, because it is something
about the just the unfiltered nature of constantly having content

(12:37):
that change that does disrupt the idea of us having
a cultural conversation that is built around touchstones that we
are all experiencing together. So in that case, I completely
see what you're saying. Just I don't. It just feels
a little different than news to me.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I know, for for me, when you was talking about
light posers, the thing is depending on who you are
and how you was raised and kind of what genre
music you were kind of brought up into. You know,
I find all types of music, like I'm slowly kind
of branching and I, you know, find all types of muvies.
Some it's not even in English that I really enjoy

(13:15):
and when I get there, I'm there. And it's just
one of those things where the artists kind of will
want people to come at all points and times that
don't be like, well if.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
You would, wouldn't hear from day one? And fuck you?

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Like that don't make sense. That's what the stands and
the crazy people say. You know, that doesn't make sense.
You know what I'm saying, Why would you Why you
want to kick somebody out of the group that actually
enjoy something as much as you doing this, actually spreading
the same word that you do, because they like the
artists and you like, No, that doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I think when I think of the idea of posers,
I'm not necessarily thinking about Johnny cum lately, it's to
like an artist. I'm thinking more about this idea of
like coming in as if you haven't missed twenty years
of music, and so you come in with very strong opinions,
but it's like they're not necessarily informed by anything. The
theories that just exist, but they have nothing to back

(14:05):
them up because you just haven't been listening but everyone
in this new social especially social media age, everyone comes
in with like a strong take rather than like a
I'm gonna sit back and listen and take this in
and hear what people got to say. It's much more
like you need to come in and be like, this
is the greatest album I have ever heard. No one
has ever done it, you know. So I think that's

(14:28):
why I say it can feel a little bit like, Okay,
you weren't around for this, but okay, you know. But
at the same time, it's not a you're not a
real fan. It's more like this is the entry point
for the conversation for you. Even he says, I love
being able to write into this show and rib the
two of you a bit because I think we built
a great rapport over the years, and there's no animosity exactly.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
That there's not anything is you I wanted to I'm
like Roger, You're one.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
A few people if I ever see you face to face, just.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Want to hook you because it's like you get us
and just how we joke and how we banter and
kind of go back and forth, and you understand us.
And that's very important because sometimes we banter, go back
and forth and people don't understand us and our humor
and have particularly rojects human and how we do things,
and all of a sudden it turns into a thing

(15:20):
when it really doesn't have to be.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, I don't know if I would hug you because
I don't want to get that rby sauce on me.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
And shit, I will still hug you back and.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Walk around swelling like Sometimes I get corrected and sometimes
I write in to clarify and mega correction. But it's
all good fun, the jokes, even the RVY stuff. Although
I stand firmly in my belief that they're not a
money lainering scale, they stay in business because they have
the meats. Sure, listen, whatever lies you have to live
with is the lies you gotta live. Tell yourself. That's

(15:48):
all I'm saying. Comments on YouTube, saw said f Jules
Vega seventy nine. I don't know who jews Vega. Maybe
that was the person that left that.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Dark Nam Joe emojis the Liquid Deaf. Next act a
whiskey age in a Casket. The trendy water brand is
partnering with whistle Pig Whiskey to create a new whiskey
partially aged in the actual casket at the Vermont Distillery
and made with Liquid Death Mountain source water. So Liquid
Death is trying to turn to alcohol for their next move.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
All right, okay, because you're gonna say that, I've always
thought it was an alcoholic.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I'm sure that won't be confusing any body. Hopefully no
alcoholics drink that are trying to be in recovery or
drinking liquid deaf and accidentally pick up a fucking age whiskey.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Right thinking they're getting eight down a can of water.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Sean Jobson says, we are commenting on different topics as
they happen. I'm pretty sure that's why there are different
comments from the same people. At least that's what I do.
Love you guys. Get that. He from Australia. The DARKNWN.
Just a good show, thanks provocative. AF says a good day,
beautiful fam My favorite show on Rod and Care. Appreciate
you both, great feedback show. It's always funny and real.

(17:00):
Thank you. Kim Doc says I one hundred percent agree
with your percentages for post election analysis. That's seventy five
percent or more. Pundit said that all the trans stuff
man it hurts us. That's that ad. It was so effective.
I won't forget that stance. They never truly had any
convictions about LGBTQ plus IA plus protections, but I'd rather
that be revealed than for them to lie to kick it. Yeah,

(17:23):
and I think this is why it's important that we
have a mandate, and this is why you need to
win the progressive and democratic people to win. The effect
that winning has on society, it just can't be understated.
There's so many things people just take for granted because

(17:46):
they just think it can't get worse, so they just
think that it won't go back or whatever. But the
main point is like when like Biden or Obama in office,
stuff like gay marriage, which is a radical, like you know,
considered a radical leftist idea, that da da da, it
just happens. If anything, people are more like man Obama

(18:10):
really took too long to get to that. That's how
good quote unquote things are. When it's Republicans, you quickly
find out, like the right to abortion isn't even a right,
so winning I don't you know. I've never been a
pie in the sky person. I'm not optimistic on humanity
in general. I think I'm just realistic. I don't think

(18:33):
people have strong moral convictions. I just don't. I think
most people go with what's in charge, and what's in
charge emboldens people who already feel certain ways. And it
also this emboldens I know, I don't know if that's
a word, but it makes other people more timid, and
they won't admit it. Everyone thinks they're so fucking you know,

(18:53):
I'm so brave. But no, we're not in the streets
as much under Trump. We're not pushing this administration. They're
not questioning this administration in those ways. They're not demanding
anything of this administration. Think of all the black people
that prompt that could not wait during the election cycle
to tell us how much they were, like, uh, you know,

(19:15):
we should not just vote for Democrats. We need to
think about voting for Republicans. Donald Trump is going to
give black people something, and Democrats they just give us
the same thing, nothing every time. They've never done anything
for us. Just go to the Republicans. Okay, well, Republicans won,
right Donald Trump is in office. When is Ice Cube

(19:35):
gonna meet with Donald Trump to get the rest of
our Platinum plan that we haven't been getting. When they're
gonna meet This is second time in office not giving
black people shit. When are the demands gonna be made?
Because you told us that if he won, black people
would be in a position to demand things and get
things because unlike the Democrats, the Republicans are going to

(19:57):
deliver on these promises. And yet all we've seen as
like an erosion of black jobs, black women in the
government jobs. We've seen erosion of programs that help black
people statistically throughout the United States. We've seen taking people
out of the military being told is duy. We've seen
an erasure of the black history exhibits in different museums

(20:21):
and stuff. We've seen an erasure of black history. Uh.
And the quote unquote d I, you know, minorities, women,
civil rights activists taken off of, like uh, military ships
and stuff. Where when are we supposed to get our
benefits that were supposed to come to black people, you know,
the black jobs and all this stuff. When are we

(20:43):
supposed to get it? And the fact that these cowards
aren't around to talk about it. They don't want to
talk about it anymore. They want now they want to
talk about the Big Three and fucking uh you know,
and how they're in bed with with with Steve Bann
and the white supremacist They want to talk about that
ship now right like they don't want to. They've moved
on from us as black people and the idea of

(21:04):
our political power and freedom and our demands and our equity.
They've moved on from that. So I find it very
interesting how just who's in charge determines what we hear,
because if it was a Democrat in charge right now,
those people would still be out here talking shit like
it's not enough. Whatever you're doing isn't enough, we want more.

(21:27):
But the second is Trumps like we should expect nothing
and we should get less and we should be quiet
about it. What fuck you? Then?

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
And also it's one of those things where when Kamala
was running and things, and she would be giving speeches
and people would bump brush and put up signs and
fuss about Gaza and things like that, and her speeches
and stuff like that, y'all not running a.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Trump, don't do it. Don't do speeches like that. But
if he did, he would tell somebody to bop you
up side of the head and get you the fuck
out his face.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
And so you know. And one of the things is
people aren't stupid. People know these things. I'm gonna be frank.
I think for a lot of people, a lot of
things are just for performances. They don't mean what they say,
they're just doing any things for performances. And a percentage
of the people they getting paid. I don't know how
you getting paid, but you're getting paid. Because other than that,
what you're doing make no sense, because if you're doing

(22:23):
some of these things, you're doing it for free, your
dumb ass. At least, if you're gonna go out there
and spread wrong messages, get some coins out of it,
some guaps, some cheese something. Don't be out here looking
like a motherfucking food for free.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Last comment is from Joseph, who says, hey, hey, y'all,
I'm not the person who wrote it in about correcting
Karen originally, but I saw my past self in that comment.
Thank y'all for talking through with this with us. Okay, So, yeah,
like I said, I must have fired because I did.
I don't remember going to check to see like who
did say this, so that's probably on me. And I

(22:58):
thought you were the same person because of the way
you approached it, I was like, oh, okay, this person is
saying they've also had these feelings. And it turns out like, no, actually, uh,
that is not the same person. I'm now I'm going
back to see who the person was and I can't even.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Yeah, if I had somewhere down rabbit hole.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, so that's you know it just the way
you wrote it made it sound like it could have
been you, but it makes sense that it wasn't you. Anyway,
let's go to the pope. Do you get offended when
being asked to clarify something? Okay, now this, I'm gonna
be honest. I got a call cap, but okay, zero

(23:40):
percent get offended and one hundred percent do not get offended.
I don't know if I mean, come on, I'm not
saying you gotta be an ass of I'm just saying, boy,
if that, if I wish the world was that way,
and maybe our audience is just that awesome, but boy,
that has not been my experts in life. Asking so

(24:02):
to clarify, people get get up and they motherfucking feelings.
While I appreciate y'all.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, because I've I've worked with people that anytime you
ask them to clarify, it's nothing but a wall of attitude,
like any time, And so you know, I've I've gotten
real good about dancing around that and going and hearing
them out, then turn around and still ask them the
same question, hearing them out, turn around and because at

(24:28):
the end of the day, I'm not leaving here without
an answer. And I know that takes a lot. Some
people don't have those types of personalities, and the seconding happened,
they panic and they run and they move away. But
when it comes to like me being paid and shit
like that, we're not gonna do this. I don't care
about your attitude if you're the one that has to
get me an answer, bitch, I want to answer.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Commercial time. That feels like a beat where that's that's

(25:28):
about same person made a banter song that feels like
a beat where when people do those like tiktoks or
they're traveling the world and they just have like a
bunch of montage, which is cool shit they did out there,
just feel like the kind that plays under that.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Yes, I like that beat.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
All right, let's get to comments on our next episode
thirty one thirty two Chuck Ebt Fraud Cheese Ipire, says
Axela Banks. I never dated older men, and if I
tried at fifteen, I would have absolutely not been okay
in my environment. And it was in the last millennium,
not with my parents, not at school, not among my friends.
So no, it's not a new thing to not like it.

(26:06):
It was criminal for a long time and for and
I even live in Europe where people are more liberal
about sex in general, but only if a fifteen year
old is dating a sixteen year old, not like when
a forty year old man is dating a fifteen year old. Well,
like a true rule follower, you know, you're not a
statutory sexual assault and grooming. About Cobert, I pretty much

(26:27):
agree the cancelation was most likely playing some time ago. Yeah,
I think I think it's kind of obvious that if
the only part of this that might be vindictive is
them announcing it two days after he does that, like y'all,

(26:48):
y'all some bitches rant, but like the people that are
going all the way to like they weren't going to
cancel this show and then they decided to because of Trump.
I I'm I don't think that. I don't think that's
what happened. I just think when you look around, Like
I was listening to Bomoni talk about this on the

(27:08):
press Box with Joe Anderson. Great great episode of the
of the podcast. You shall check it out. But you know,
obviously I wrote for Game Theory. Bomoni got to do
Game Theory, did it for two seasons. And Bomoni says
something or Joe brought up something. He's like, are you
the last person to have a late night show? And

(27:29):
I was thinking about it, and I think the answer
is yes, we've been canceled two three years now. We
might have been the last late night show. Like I mean,
just like new because they're not bringing them back. Point
Like they're not even saying the Late Show with Stephen

(27:49):
Colbert canceled. Let's bring on the Lakes Show with Gutfeld
or Jesse Waters or some conservative. They're just like, there's
no Lake Show, the Late Lake Show with James Corden
or whatever. The fuck. I don't think they ever replaced
that at midnight. They did not replace that Sam Jay,
they didn't replace that. Nope. I don't mean to forget

(28:11):
her name. Matter of fact, let me google this, but
she's now the cold host. Yes, she had a late
night show she did.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
I know you're talking about, but yes.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
But they didn't bring her shit back, Sam b yep,
Amber Ruffin. They didn't bring Sam Bee's show back.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
And some of these shows were like winning all types
of awards and ship They was like, we don't give
a fuck.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
And here's the thing. Colebert Show has the number one ratings. Yes,
so this is not the show. You can argue is like, well,
look they paid, they gave him the money. Yes, they're
losing money, but look at his ratings. This is the
best the ratings can possibly be in late night. There's
no justification for it. So meaning like they're like they

(29:06):
if they can't say, well, the ratings are so good,
we'll just lose to twenty million, then there is no
one who they can spend that kind of money and
make that show. Now, they might can go cheaper and
replace it with something a lot cheaper and whatever. But
I'm just telling y'all man, like, I don't think it's

(29:26):
just a we're scared of Trump thing. I think this
is a bigger sign of just the economics of entertainment,
uh huh.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
And financially and it's one of those things where if
Stephen Corber can't last. I know a lot of the
other ones looking. Oh, I know, I don't know when,
but eventually my show is going to be on the
chopping block too.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah. Like I said, I hadn't thought about it till
Joe said it. But we may have had the last
late night show. Yes, and know we were not the
last that get canceled, but still like, that's a hell
of a thing. And I mean, don't even me started
on the last black Man late night show. I mean,
let's worry what Junior can pull something off. Man, I
don't know what we're gonna do as black Folk. Ronand

(30:04):
Raphael says, there's so much talk about this episode, but
to talk about on this episode, but I trust the
black Out Tips Nation to deal with the heavy lifting
while I still recover from discovering with highlights on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Car.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
While I agree with you, Roder, I also feel like
I might have fell out with someone because she kept
highlighting me on random post and I didn't get it.
So I said, why is we tripping? All I know
is an angry response, and I'm confused. I should have
let out one of my orcers handle it. Now I
know how the game works. Fund Raising time By the way,
I've never been served tequila with sugar. I didn't know
that was an option. Well, I'm not necessarily saying to

(30:36):
quila shots with sugar, but I have had it though
tequila shots. But I think it's something like either sugar
or salt that you put on your and it might
be salt. Don't get I'm not a huge drinker. It
might be salt. But you put it either sugar or
salt on the rim of your thumb kind of area

(30:57):
of your hand, and then you take a you take
a lemon or line, you take a line, and you
take a shot of tequila, and it's something like and
I don't know the order. I'm sure all the people
that drink a lot know, but it's some sort of
like take the shot, suck on the lick the salt
off the rim, and then suck on the liners.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yes, let's see Ray from eight oh four. Try to
put some links on me, some some sort of links
from YouTube on our website, but it kept saying unavailable,
so I don't know if the links work. Hello, Internet
cousins Rod and Karen Rodd. I know multiple posts are
things that's slightly confused you, so I'm pre apologized. I
might make another post in response to this episode because

(31:42):
y'all made so many great points with This post is
solely here to explain Wells become of the most problematic
of fames, d Faves, Dame Dash. I think all the
questions about his Cowboy wild West get up can be
explained by this YouTube video. It's five minutes long, so
I know you aren't going to play the whole thing.
The most important thing you need to know is that
some of the point he actually produced at an act.
Music video for this song compared a bunch of cowboy gear,

(32:03):
but the official videos now labeled as private, so I
can't find it. With no further ado, let me present
one third of the engine behind Rockefeller Empire doing weird
music shit. Then that link didn't work. That he said, Sorry,
that didn't work. That link didn't work, he said, laugh
my fucking ass out. I'm truly sorry. Search YouTube for
the Black Guns featuring Nicolect. You should be able to
find it. I hope, at the risk of becoming to

(32:24):
parody of myself. The name of the song is You're
So Fine. Now I'll just shove it off to the
side and shame and how badly I messed up my comment.
That's hilarious. Yeah, and I have no idea what who
Nicolett is? You're so fine? Any of this shit is.
I can try to see if I can find something.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
But you had a bad day. It's all right, baby.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
But if they're taking down shit, then it might not
be in the place I can find it.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, I'll see a video from two years ago with
fifty six views of performing it live, but I don't
see like an actual video of itself. I'm gonna just
chalk it up to Dame Dash doing weird shit. Sean says,
margharita is tequila and lime juice with some coin troll coin,

(33:16):
trull coin, true thrown and sometimes simple serve for sweetness.
So the salt on the rim is basically the same
as salt on the thumb for the shots. Oh. In addition,
you do not lick the rim per se. You just
happen to get a taste when you drink it. If
you're drinking a margarita with a straw, I'm judging you personally.
I just do a straight double shot at tequila with
jen and tonic chaser when I'm drinking. I like being judged.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
I do too, I'll be I don't care.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
As Rick said from Rick and Morty, your judgment means
nothing to me. I've seen what makes you cheer or
something like that. Your boozs mean nothing to me, just.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
When he went into that convention, that Nerve convention.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Separate separate posts in order to separate discussion points. That's
why I do separate posts anyway. One of the myriad
of reasons that I chose Kamla over the schmuck is
because she does not have to pay for celebrities or
consenting partners. Of course, living in Japan, where we now
have the two MAGA party winning seats, it's hard for
me to throw stones. Ave says Azelja Stanks is just

(34:18):
an agent of chaos who is an attention junkie. She
basically just says and does anything she thinks will get
her the most attention. What I don't understand is how
anyone still takes her seriously. Can't name a single song
from her and don't care to find out either.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
She me and you the same.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
She low key is kind of like the trial run
for Nicki Minaj, where like very toxic fan based feedback
loop and her you know, I guess n it seems
to be like slope into like just mental health issues,
being almost like untreated or unresolved. Whatever. It's just it's

(34:55):
just a bad formula because she only pops up in
my feed or in the news when she's saying something
crazy on social media, and never in a song or
for any music accomplishments. It's really because I don't have
I've never wished ill of her. I didn't even really
know much about her, and unfortunately I didn't get into

(35:17):
the album, and I knew her more for being problematic
than I knew her for the album, and so now
I can't have a time machine that undoes that. And
even so, by the time I heard her music, I
was just like, whatever the fuck. However, dope y'all think
this is is not dope enough to justify what the
fuck she And maybe it would have happened differently if

(35:38):
I would have got into the album first. But whatever,
YouTube Trump's DJ lawyers couldn't meet just like Julane Maxwell
without Komi, I mean, not that they follow rules and
normal norms anyway, it says Damian Foster. Dark Nanda says
the last thirty minutes were fun. Thanks. Dave says, what up?

(35:58):
Roder Caroll love the show first on her dressed Dame.
He dressed like one of the gang members at Cartel
members of national geographic documentaries on the drug business. Secondly,
the Popey's commercial on from DC. I relocated the North
Alabama a couple of weeks before the pandemic shut everything
down in March twenty twenty. I have never seen this commercial.

(36:19):
There's only one Popeye's here and it sucks, but it's
more white people here that east from there. Who knew?
Oh yeah, white people love chicken. Don't ever get that twisted.
I wasn't trying to say black people are the only
ones that love fried chicken. I was actually saying it's
kind of weird that they treat us like that at commercials.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah, when you go into lines and the lines for
Chick fil A and put down here, bo Jangles and
even Popeyes be long as hell and full of white people.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, even on the white side of town. Thought we
only love chicken from Popeyes? Love the show and y'all
are when y'all on Caaren Hunter piece Ramsey pH Does says,
my mother is a huge fan of Stephen Cobert's The
Late Show. It's her go to before she goes to bed.
The Girl on the Other Side of the Road says
paying for Beyonce and Oprah? Who has that kind of money?

(37:04):
If in this economy, if Kamala paid Beyonce, she would
have made a perform instead of just giving a speech
and go yeah right, Come on, man, Rod, why are
you always embarrassing every story about people asking about the podcast?
It's because you're afraid of people seeing you telling Karen
is shut up and Karen, don't worry about don't worry.

(37:26):
One day someone will check the podcast and save you
and bring you the hot dog with the mac of
cheese you always want it. I always dreamed up laughing emotions. Also, Rod,
why don't you come up with a fake podcast name
like the Brother who Knows. That's a good point and
that's hilarious. Take that advice. TD Jones says, I think
Karen should receive at least half a point for the

(37:47):
first guest the race. She did guess half Doberman and
we all saw that guy's ears.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Jason says, I gotta disagree with y'all on the chicken commercials.
I can pretend to be mad at black folks of
a chicken, but if I'm being real with myself, when
someone walks in the room with that box of spicy,
my feet get to tap in a little. If they
have sides, you might get a full blown two step.
Plus the dip was by far the best out of
all the nineties dance songs, better than TUTSI Roll. Come on,

(38:16):
ride that train and look at that girl them Daisy
Duke song. Wow, you're just skipping over du Due Brown.
That's do du Brown a racier. Also, they didn't have
a cuff check. They didn't have to. Oh and let
me just say, you don't disagree with us, you disagree
with me. Karen didn't agree with me.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
I was the I was.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Even saying I was the only one that I feel
is sensitive to these chicken dancing black people commercials. I
just maybe I just had an insecure moment or something,
but it just got to me that day. I was like, goddamn,
this commercials on every every fucking five minutes and it's
just niggas dancing with chicken.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
And I'll just be I think in the background, I
see that commercial.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah, Karen didn't agree. Also, they didn't have to cuff
Chuck E Cheese in front of everyone like that, not
to mention, how did they know they had the right guy?
If I'm Chuck, I'm like, no, y'are honor. I was
not made aware of my rights. I have giant mouse
head on and couldn't hear anything. Trump tize those kids.
I feel mad for the kids, But honestly, kids that
go to Chuck E Cheese they've seen worse.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
I think they have.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yes, those kids. Honestly, they might teach those kids justice
because if they go to Chuck E Cheese a lot,
they've also seen Chuck E Cheese attack people and they like, Wow,
nothing ever happens to them. And then the police finally
came there. I was like, oh, so it is laws
in the world. The poe do you prefer or what
do you prefer on the rim of your margarita? Salt
or sugar? Sugar twenty nine percent, sugar seventy eight per

(39:40):
seventy one seventy one percent. Yeah, basically salt. So most
vast majority of people prefer salt. Man, I think I
prefer sugar, But I did not even realize that it's
supposed to be salt until we talked about the last week,
So what the fuck do I know? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:53):
And like I said, I was just guessing that the
default was salt because most of the time they do
not ask.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Yeah, I didn't even I literally had never thought about it.
And I'm glad we got to talk about on the
show and that our listeners wrote in to let to
put me up on game because I didn't know, all right,
And I think maybe it's when I get a Margaret
reader that they ask or something.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Yeah, normally most other drinks day.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
On anyway, Uh thirty one thirty three, first semester of RAP,
we got six comments. Norvelle says, I'm listening y'all at
work on Tuesday morning. Thank you y'all are writing up
my morning at work. FYI, I have to be at
work at five thirty am. Yes, you're a dark thirty
Karen's questions about working out. Here is the oldest person
I remember hearing about and watching on reruns as my

(40:37):
grand Grad's house with Jack Lelane. And here's a link
to his bio. Oh Jack Llane. Okay, we were talking
about workout personalities. Okay, yeah, yeah, I feel like the
oldest motherfucker I know is not it's not a TV person. God,
I cannot remember his name. But in comic books, back

(40:58):
when I first started reading comic books, they used to
always have this dude that they would draw and they
would be like this, like you not someone goes to
the beach and a guy and a bully kicks, like
saying on him in front of girls, and then it's like,
come work out with this guy and then you'll be
the strong he's the strongest man or something like that.

(41:18):
And I remember listen to a podcast about it. I
just can't remember his name right now, but I remember
listening to a podcast about him man how he was
basically like a hustler and shit. But I was like, man,
that might be the first fitness influencer that I came
into contact with as a kid was just in these
comic books. He's fucking twenty five cent you know whatever.
Comic books, flipping pages and get to one where it's like,

(41:40):
you know, you know, the commercial is, you know, basically,
don't be a pussy, go lift some weights. This guy.
This guy's gonna teach you how you're not strong enough. Meanwhile,
I'm like you can still get your ass. Wef he's
not teaching you to fight, He's teaching you to get strong.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Being stronger knowing how to fight is not the same thing.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
A loyal listener and Karen rebel And like I said before,
I love to hear your Karen oh Karen's Oh No,
you were smooth as usual on Karen Hunter Show on Monday.
That was a nice change of page for Motivational Monday.
Thanks Nobel. Yeah, I had a good time. Apia says,
listen to those freshman rappers makes me think that I
could as well participate there, and that's not good because

(42:18):
I'm terrible at rapping. The world has suffered enough. Okay
on good days, I'm maybe just bad. Well we'll never
know unless you send in the audio clip yourself rapping, Sean.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
I'm and y'all have heard me.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
It wasn't about you. This is about saying that she
can run.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Okay, okay, about yourself.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
I did. I didn't trying to get us a table
op your wrapping, and you're gonna suck it up trying
to be like me too. Girl, No, it's not a
me too. You said you might just bad, So send
it in Sean says, were those fresh rappers the top
students from Rachel Gunn's class? Uh, Rachel, let me look
up who Rachel gun is. I don't even know if

(42:59):
I know who that is. I thought, I think, okay,
I'm oh, that's the uh, that's the rake dancer woman Gun.
What was it ray Gun? I used to have that
T shirt with her on it. Shoe Boody says, when
I was in elementary school, I wanted to be a rapper.
I wrote and deformed a rap about my cats for
music class. That was better than these first semester rappers.

(43:23):
Honest to god, I'm not even joking. I really think
the team uh I think it was teen Witch, but
the rap was like top that top that. If you
really think it's on the top that, I think that
would have been better. I'm not joking. Like she might
have stole the She might have actually low key stole
the cipher. If we just cut to that little girl

(43:45):
dancing super time, like at least the baby was on
be I'm like, at least she rhyming, yes, like she care.
Pamela Mmate says regarding Boston's mobile mimography van for age women.
We also want to take into account that their mayors
is twenty twenty one, is Michelle Woo, the first woman
and first non white mayor to be elected to the position. Wow.

(44:08):
The first line on the city's website. On her pages
that she's working to make Boston a home for everyone.
Elections matter, Representation matters. Love to hear good news in
this terrible climate.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Yes, yeah it does.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
And what's so funny is like studies and statistics show.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
That when.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Women and all the di people complained about end up
getting in charge of a lot of shit, the culture changes,
and it changes for the good. You start getting more diversity,
and like all types of things happen. But a lot
of times those people never get credit for doing that.
A lot of times they are overlooked and bypassed when

(44:52):
we're going a dog like it shows when we are
in positions of power to able to do things, we
actually do things for the better.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Yeah. Every time hard to get the job as a biases.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
And a lot of times, by the time you get
the job.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
You are only overqualified for the job.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah, they make it damn near impossible to get the job.
But then once you get the job, it's like, Wow,
You're really good at this job. We didn't want to
have to give you at all. Right, all right, let's
see what else you got here. Evie E says, I
don't know if it's because I'm older, Maybe I just
don't understand hip hop well enough to understand these new
freshman rappers. But they all sound like ass, every single

(45:30):
one of them. Have I become my parents. I'm not
sure if that's completely true, because I appreciate and enjoy
a lot of new music, but that sample you play
it sounded like something I could have come up with.
Most of them were mumbling, you couldn't clearly the words,
and just sounded horrible. I guess to each us all now,
I think they did sound terrible. I mean, I think
that's why the clip went virals, because everyone agreed on
social media that they sounded terrible. I thought the girl

(45:52):
didn't sound that bad, you know, at least.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
In my her clip wasn't long enough, But I think
if their clips would have been longer, she just just
been above and beyond.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yeah, they didn't really give anyone enough room to just
like truly have that moment of like yo, that you
know this person, Like they really went off and editing.
But yes, yeah, but but yeah, I thought she was good. Uh,
let's see comments on YouTube. Samarasin is the only MC. Yeah,

(46:22):
that's the one. Samar Sin is the only EMC I've
heard of in that whole group, and she's actually good.
The rest of us dudes are garbage, short and sweet.
Thanks Rod Shirt. Lol my nigga, says Lennard Brothers. Well
you know if you know, you know, uh that Kevin
Daniel says that gender word lady react reaching like Wemby,

(46:42):
she really was a man. I gotta say, Man, the
ability people's it's I mean, it's it's not in press.
It's impressent, but it's sad. People's ability to make content
out of shit right now, that is not what the
content really is about and then take over the discussion

(47:03):
is scary to me. But I mean, and a lot
of times it's like, I don't know how you even
see that, Like a beautiful story about a friend surprising
another friend and popping up to support it during a marathon,
and you immediately turn this into a dating topic, Like
is your brain just always focused on that? Are you

(47:24):
just that cynical with your content creation? You're like, I'll
find a way like when it worked, and.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I think, I think for me because the climate that
we're in today with everything going on, like my brain
breaks and I'm going, no, I want to be based
in reality. What the fuck you're talking about has absolutely
nothing to do with this, and my brain will not
accept the turn, if that makes sense. So in my mind,
I'm like, no, I understand what you're trying to do.

(47:52):
But but but these two things have nothing to do
with each other, and you can't.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Make me delusion me into this reality.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
So, like I said, maybe something wrong with me, but
my brain is just like.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Ah, yeah, yeah, I have much deeper thoughts about it.
In general, I'm still working through on but there's stuff
that's been happening in the last few weeks that maybe
it's just more of a change in myself than it
is the internet and the people around me. But I
can't I don't know, you know, if it's I've changed,

(48:28):
they've changed, both have changed. But like some of these
controversies that I'm seeing in the stretches that they've reached,
I'm like, I mean, in addition to just feeling like
I'm often out of even reacting to them or discussing them.
I don't know. It feels like an inflection point. It

(48:48):
feels nefarious, It's very It honestly makes me very sad
to think about, yeah, and seeing how because we're so
angry about Trump winning. I'm sure I don't see much
difference between some of the stuff I'm seeing and stuff
like Q and nine, right, And I know people hate

(49:10):
to hear you know, both sides. I don't necessarily think
it's even equal, obviously, but there is. What people underestimate
is the seduction and the temptation of the anger, the
constant anger and having a target every day. And you know,

(49:35):
anger is just sadness with no place to go, it
turns into anger. And so I see kind of through
the anger and go, oh man, everyone's so tremendously sad
around me, everyone in my you know, circles of life
and social media. They're just very sad and they're just

(49:55):
latching on the things that I'm just like that can't
possibly be that important. It can't be. But what do
you do when you feel powerless to stop what is important?
When you gave your all to stop the important erosions
that are bigger than just symbolic shit.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Yeah, I don't care about your symbolism.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Yeah, but you know, then all of a sudden you
start to care about symbolism because maybe you can do
something there. Maybe you can affect this Gens campaign, or
you can affect this this fashion thing with I can't
remember the name of the brand, like don't Jiggabaya or something,
but it's like, maybe we can do something with this
thing they did with HBCUs. We can point to something

(50:36):
out there and we can make them change or whatever.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
You know.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Even the guy who shot up the tried to shoot
up the NFL headquarters because he said you had CTE,
but then in true ct fashion, he went to the
wrong floor and shot the wrong people. I saw this video,
I I want to. I think it was Amanda Seales
and she was saying how he was the Luigi of

(51:05):
the real estate industry because he shot one of the
heads of CEOs of this Blackstone or black something real
estate group and killed her and I saw, you know,
I saw that video. And in the video, she essentially

(51:26):
dismisses the fact that he wrote two suicide letters that
said he was going to shoot up the NFL and
he blamed them for CTE. She dismissed that like he
shot a security guard in a police officer, but he
also shot a random woman and she dismissed that as
an accident, saying he didn't do that on purpose. And
then he went to the thirty third floor and shot

(51:49):
this woman who's the CEO of Blackstone or whatever, which
we have no proof he even knew who she was,
what she looked like or whatever. We have no proof
that it was an accident. He shot the other woman,
and then he shoots this woman, and that one was
not an accident. That's on purpose, because he's the Luigi
of real estate. And I saw people sharing it or

(52:12):
in the replies of it, and it was very disheartening
because I think the last thing we have left is
like truth and reality, yes, and what actually happens. And
to me, I don't see a difference between this and
like Pizzagate. How some people still think Pizzagate was about

(52:34):
Hillary Clinton running a pedophile ring and it happened in
the base of his pizza shop. And there's no amount
of evidence, the innocent people that were harmed, nothing, There
is nothing that will make those people be like, Okay,
you know what, y'all right? That was crazy? This guy
just having me a crazy person with a gun. There
is no bigger conspiracy here, But in constructing the conspiracy,

(53:03):
you cannot be separated from the dopamine and the ownership
of the narrative that you get. So, meaning Amanda Sills
in this case, gets to be the person that created
this narrative, and if it takes hold it, it will
always lead back to her. In some way. It could
grow into the biggest movement in the world, but it
will always lead back to like, and you know who

(53:24):
saw this first, Amanda Seals. And so I say that
to say that when this one woman saw the friend
supporting the friend of the marathon, I think you can't.
You can't disassociate it from the incentive of going. I'm
going to construct a narrative that leads to me because
I'm the only person that really saw this and turned

(53:46):
it into gender wars. And so every time people see
this gender wars, whether it's correct, whether they agree or disagree,
it all has to flow back to me, because I'm
I created this story out of then they're basically and
I see people that I otherwise would respect and think
of as reasonable people, but I just think we're all

(54:07):
in such turmoil and trauma at this moment, but they
latch onto these things and they're like, no, this this
makes sense, and it's like it doesn't. How do I
tell you it doesn't without without saying like I can't
respect the kind of person that would hop onto something
like this because what we're we're we're driving past reality

(54:31):
to get to something that is all you You would
think would be more traumatic, but it's actually more soothing
the people. It's like, no, now it really makes sense.
These are these things all make sense and I'm like, no,
crazy people with guns and their access to them in America,
that's what we're always dealing with. We're trying to we're
doing like Republicans, we're working backwards and being like, no,

(54:51):
it's really about mental health, or no, it's really about this. No,
it's really dogs. We have one common denominated too many
fucking guns and on our street. Other countries have crazy people,
they're not all just taking people's lives every day. There
was a mass shooting the next day too, with four
people getting killed. Like anyway, all that to say, like,

(55:12):
I'm not fully articulating because I haven't fully put this
in a like so you know, pardon me if this
isn't fully fleshed out and formed, but there's something very
insidious afoot. There's something very fucking scary right now in
this moment that we can't agree on or at least

(55:34):
examine the probabilities of things and be like, this is
probably what happened without it turning into no, this is
what's really happening. And I feel similarly about the Sydney
swingey Nazi thing. I won't be talking about it on
this show. I truly don't think. I don't think it's

(55:55):
what people say, and I know what people are doing
on the internet, and I know it gives people a
lot of money and attention and clicks, and that's what
we're all after. I don't need them that bad for
the blackout tips, and you know, we get to pick
what happens on this platform, so I won't be going
in the detail on that. I just truly think it's
another kind of fool minding experiment. I don't think fool

(56:16):
minding is just something that happens on the left. I
think people participating these things because it's what's shining and
getting attention that day. And it's like, but do you
honestly truly believe. They sat down Sidney Sweeney, the advertising
crew the company, and they said, we're going to try
to sneak some Nazi shit into an ad on purpose

(56:41):
in this environment, and nobody will catch it except the
Nazi people we want to buy our clothes. Those will
be the only people in the world that see what
we're doing. Everyone else is just gonna be a fucking
fool and be like, what what Nazi shit. But it's
a distraction, it's something to do that day, it's something
to be angry about. It's a person to be angry about.

(57:03):
And uh, I don't know, man, it seems like it's
happening a lot. And I think social media has broken
us and we're not gonna ever be back. Like it's
never gonna get better. I think it'll only get worse
because the last holdouts we kind of had was more
of the like, I'm a progressive person, I'm not really

(57:24):
gonna believe in all this conspiracy shit. I'm not really
with this. I'm laughing at QAnon, I'm laughing at Maga.
But when we're like, you know, turning the depths of
people that otherwise are innocent, they're innocent of what that
day to the person who was shooting people, they're innocent,
like that person did not shoot that woman for being

(57:44):
a CEO. When we're turning stories into why this is
okay and ignoring the three four other people that got killed.
Some is fucking broken on that side of the al
too is. I'm used to it from concern. I'm used
to it from trolls and the right wing grifter people.
I'm used to it. I'm not used to it from

(58:07):
people that otherwise will try to tell me how empathetic
they are, whose biggest rights with Democrats is they don't
go far enough with their empathy and compassion and fighting
for justice, And yet here they are, you know, And
it's not like anyway, this is a huge tangent, but
it's just and I know you didn't me, you didn't

(58:28):
mean to get into this from the gender wars, but yeah, man,
I'm I don't know. I've just been feeling this way
for a few weeks now. It's just like and I
can't shake it. Every day it seems like it's some
new shit where it's just like, damn, y'all cannot possibly
this mad about this thing. It's really about everything else.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
I have one hundred cent agree, and just listening to
what you're saying. I write down some notes that I
want to kind of speak on this too, and I
agree with that. Like I said, something brook in my
brain and like I said, you won't trick me and
take me down a conspiracy that's not like I like,
be based in reality, like real, real reality. And the

(59:05):
thing about reality, truth sits in reality. And we live
in the world now where nobody likes the truth. They
don't want to hear it. On both sides. They don't
want to hear it, they don't want to accept it.
People would rather hear a lie that makes them feel
better than the truth that quote unquote hurts them, hurts
their feelings, challenge them, and or makes them think outside

(59:27):
of normal. The thing is the left office look at
the right, Like the right won't accept the truth. The
left won't accept the truth either. And the reason why
I say that is because a lot of the divisions
that we have on the left and a lot of
the do better and all that stuff comes from people
not accept from the truth. The truth of the matter
is numbers matter. The truth of the matter is you
got to vote. The truth of the matter is you

(59:47):
got to put people in the office. The truth of
the matter is, no matter how sad, mad depress, the
anger you get, you have to shake that shit off,
pull yourself together and say, Okay, let me get back
to my grind and let me stay on message, because the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Message is the fact that these things matter.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
I care about these things, and I can't let things
around me dictate and take me off message. And I
think that a lot of people weren't taught that or
they don't understand that. You know, it's one of those
things where people don't want to hear it compared to
a soldier, but it is. Being on a Democratic party
is like being a soldier, and people don't want to

(01:00:30):
hear that. But the thing is, when you were a soldier,
you have different parts and pieces, and everybody isn't meant
to do the same thing. You got some people that
be like, I never be on the front line, but
I give you these coins. You got some people to
go I never be on the front line, but I
make these uniforms.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
So we all have our part to do, and all
the pieces and all the parts aren't the same. And
I don't discourage anybody from doing their part. I just
want you to do your part, whatever your part is.
But too many people look around and they lose a
battle or too on the battlefield and be like fuck it,
I don't want to be here no more. They run,

(01:01:07):
they leave, they they you know, tell up their paperwork
and be like fuck it. But then when you lose soldiers,
that means the other side wins, and that's the truth.
The other side just comes in and just take over
because nobody's there doing their duty and doing their job.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
And my thing is for me, I like things to
be based in truth.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
And you were talking about people believing these things.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
I think it's a form of escapism. Like you said, people.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Are sad, they mad, they're depressed. People are filling all
types of ways about the election.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
So if this thing is also so much easier the
fool than they were not too long ago. Yes, when
nothing is disallowed, everything is allowed, which means nothing is true, right,
you know what I'm saying, Like everyone's cherry picking their
truth now and then they're calling it and then then
they're we're judging each other for it. But like you're

(01:02:04):
the things that we do know, we we or things
we typically accept we only now accept if they already
fit our biases. So like this guy left two suicide notes,
you know how it is. It'll probably be published at
some point. That always put the pictures out, But if
you don't want to believe it, you don't have to.

(01:02:24):
Like why do you believe Luigi's suicide note or his
low Why do you believe his manifesto? You know what
I mean? People believe is manifesto because they want to
believe that someone would take it out on this horrible
ceo that we all hate. We're fucking cooked, that we
have algorithms ourselves out of truth. Our news channels are
paid for by billionaires, and shit, they're they're they're telling you, look, man,

(01:02:49):
we're stopping news that is inconvenient to the Trump administration.
This is less of a judgment of individual people and
more of me saying we're cook. It doesn't matter where
you come down on this. I might think you're a
fool for some of the stuff you're putting out there,
you know, not you, But in general, it doesn't matter
that I think you're a fool, you think I'm a fool,

(01:03:11):
Like we just all think each other are fools.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
We used to have some level of whatever shared, like
whether it was trust or just acceptance of like, no,
we pay this person to do this. They did the research,
they went to school, their job is this, They took
the oath that shit is over. Now people just kind
of say what will catch on and what catches on

(01:03:35):
to people counts as the truth to them, and what
catches on isn't even the same for all of us.
What catches on in my timeline is completely different and
what catches on in your timeline.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
So it like we're just out here, yes, And it's
very dangerous because the thing about the truth, we used
to have something that was like, hey, regardless of what
anybody say, these one plus one would always equals too. Yes,
and we're and we're not gonna argue about this. We're
not gonna debate.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
We used to be like, we're gonna wait until the findings.
Now what we do is we get the findings and
we go I don't agree with those findings, Well, what
proof do you have nothing. I'm not there, I didn't
look at anything. I just have a feeling. I'm on
the internet. It doesn't job with my personal beliefs. I
just don't I'm choosing to not trust it. I saw
somebody and it's multiple people, but I've seen this sentiment

(01:04:26):
come on lately where and I want to say it
with somebody like ridiculous, like Antonio Brown. But it was like,
what happened to all the people that didn't take the vaccine?
Y'all act like it was gonna be something bad, And
I was like, yeah, we're cooked because a lot of
those people are dead, a lot of those people have
long COVID. A lot of those people like the same
shit happened to something happened to every group of people

(01:04:48):
if you go longer enough. But the point being like,
wherever he's singing whatever he wants to believe in, he
believes that nothing bad happened to anyone who was not vaccinated.
And we live in a world where that's not a
crazy opinion anymore. You get to be like, I have
decided this is my belief now, so who what is

(01:05:09):
the And so that's a conservative kind of maggot is
belief right If I were to float something similar that
just leaned against liberal sensibilities, where I'm like, this also
doesn't necessarily have the evidence to back it up, but
we just kind of go by it. People will be like, man,
what the fuck are you talking about? Because it's more
of a social thing now, Like these are our social truths,

(01:05:31):
These are the things we have to These are the
tent poles we have to live by as opposed to
like whether it's backed up in facts or not.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Yeah, And I think for me, I am to an extent,
I'm scared and sad for the future because I am
an adult with a fully functioning brain that can critically
think and kind of analyze shit. What do you do
with a child who is trying to navigate this world
and you've bombarded with a whole bunch of bullshit and lies,

(01:06:02):
and there's nothing that you can turn to truth be
told to actually say these.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Things are real and this is the truth.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
And who you have in government matters, like we've been
slowly trending this way as a country. But who you
have in charge matters because you have a social media president,
as you say, and so everything he does function with
social media, and social media goes with the whims and
social media goes with trends and shit like that, and
social media is not based in reality. Like for the

(01:06:33):
most part, social media can affect reality.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
It can affect the real world.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
But social media by itself is a separate entity from
the real functioning world. And so when you have somebody
who's in office is competent, that believes in truths, that
believes in facts, that believe in having people.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
In positions that know what the fuck they're.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Doing, these things matter because it has gotten worse, and
it has gotten worse under It's getting worse under Trump
because he doesn't care. When you have company people in offices,
guess what, they start making rules and regulations and raining
this shit in and be like, you can't do this,
you can't do that. Somebody fact check this, have these
agencies come in and do this or something, because you're

(01:07:14):
not gonna be able to control it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
But something to put some boundaries or something.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
I think. I think. I don't think you're wrong at all.
I think it's related to what I'm saying. I think,
but the problem goes beyond Trump. And I wasn't even
really talking about elections. I'm not even talking about really
voting at this point. I'm not talking about any of
that shit. I just mean socially, we are fucking cooked.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
Ms Martin's in the chat saying how like, well we
don't know he had ct he thought he you know,
we have to and this is true, you have to
wait till they die and the examine their brain. He did
leave two letters saying he thinks he has CTE and
that he wants he does want his brain examine. I
don't know if that's gonna happen. I know he died
for self inflict. The gunshot won't I don't know where

(01:07:59):
he did it whatever, right, But now it's you can
go beyond that. So like those are facts we used
to generally accept, Like he left two letters, this was
his intent. He he got up there and he fucking
he died, you know whatever. But we don't trust the police,
We don't trust Eric Adams. So now we get to

(01:08:21):
be like, did he even leave those letters? Is that
even really what happened? So now we think within hour
of this guy killing these people, police came up with
a narrative and Eric Adams they created forged letters. Like
because because for conspiracies the work, we can't just say
the conspiracy is just some ship that we maybe it

(01:08:44):
is we had for it has to be it has
to have some evidence. So then that is what we're saying.
These people who are not competent suddenly became extremely competent
on a whim, on a fly, and was able to
have a complete constructive narrative of this guy within like
a couple of hours of him doing this to where

(01:09:04):
we know the full fleshot or whatever. I think it
doesn't matter if he had CTA or not. We know
what he thought, right, and we know what the motive was.
I'm talking about Amanda Seals, who is saying, no, what
happened is he went there to purposely killed the CEO woman.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
What is the proof, right, other than you just we're.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
Working backwards from the result and then making stuff up. Oh,
the other woman he shot was an accident. Well, the
other people were just a security guard and a police
officer who we know nothing about. We have become callous.
We have become the people who don't look at that.
It's four different lives. The NFL employee who was shot,
who stayed on the phone and warned the other people

(01:09:49):
in the office, what was he doing d so how
did he know that? It's just I don't know. Man's
My point wasn't whether or not this specific conspiracy theory
the merits of it. It's more about the general idea
of us wanting something other than the reality. Now we
all kind of want content, entertainment out of it. So

(01:10:10):
you know, I don't necessarily care about you know, And
now don't mean it's in a dispectful it. I don't.
I wasn't bringing this up because I'm like, MS smart,
don't believe it. I don't give a fuck. I don't
give a fuck that a man the seals don't believe it.
I truly think it means we're cooked because there's people
like I said, there are people like I otherwise with
respect and then they just say something. You're like, where

(01:10:31):
did that come from? And what I'm what I'm starting
to see as the pattern is not an individual like Wow,
this person really let me down with this conspiracy. I'm
thinking we are so fucking cooked that you can be
in your own world and I'm in my other own.

Speaker 3 (01:10:48):
World and you have your own realities.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
When we come together and it clashes, I'm assuming we
are having the same reality, and I'm realizing we fucking don't. Like,
no matter how smart I think you are, we don't
share the same fucking reality, you know what I mean.
So I think that's that don't try to turn it
that way. It's everybody like good friends I text with

(01:11:15):
every day, it happens. I'm sure. I'm sure something happens
to me. I must do it to them sometimes too,
where I share something like yo, you see this, and
they're like, the fuck is what you talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
We're fucking cooked as a as a unit, as having
unity because you if you don't share some base line beliefs,
you're cooked. And I see your face you're trying to
don't try to smove it over, don't try to make
it better. This isn't about conflict or anything. I'm just
clarifying what I'm saying. It's not about anyone's hurt feelings.

(01:11:46):
Somebody gets their feelings hurt off of this. It's truly
they wanted to have their feelings hurtcarings, So please don't.
I'm just all I'm saying is when we have these moments,
it means something. And I feel like we we because
it didn't happen in one fail swoop like with the
QAnon shit kind of right, It's happening a little bit

(01:12:09):
to us every day. It we are we may be
past the point.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
Yeah, And and the thing is I'm not sure funny
even with the quonon shit, it wouldn't instantly Q noon.
It was a slow burn until you get your qu
noon Fox Chance eight Chance and things like that, like
you know, not you find it. I don't think it's
gonna be years, possibly decades before we truthfully see the
real impact of everybody creating now on realities. People not

(01:12:35):
accepting the truth, people you know, believing lies versus believing
the truth, people not believing authority, Like like it's gonna
I think it's gonna be a few generations. And I
don't think we're gonna like the end results of this,
because it's just madness and chaos.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
I found myself increasingly being like I'm not entertaining this.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
Yes, I don't even lie, like I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
That's not how I used to be, But I am
very firmly like what I see the people going through
is it feels so chaotic and it's not something I
would like to invite into my brain. So like, if

(01:13:19):
you're going through a I have to attack Caitlin Clark,
Sidney Sweeney, Megan thee Stallion, Like people don't For the
most part, people don't see those things as related. I
see that stuff as related. I see I see attacking angelies,

(01:13:41):
Megan the Stallion, the woman that's married to Ryan Reynolds.
Sorry I can't remember her name. I see all this
shit is related. It's like it's just all designed for real, Yeah,
for all of us to like pour some hate into
some individuals, whether they deserve it or not. But cases
we can't really prove, but we just feel a way like, right, nah,

(01:14:03):
they must be a bad person, and I'm right to
fucking go in on them, and you're wrong if you don't,
And what's your fucking problem. And it's like if enough
of us say it, then everyone has to go along
with it. And I just increasingly feel like, uh, it's
reached a point to where it's like I, in addition
to not ever having agreed with these people in the

(01:14:25):
first place, I'm now on some like I don't even
think I want to share a space with you. You
got it, like you have fun in your space, but
this like high mind, flying monkey bullshit, I will not
be a part.

Speaker 3 (01:14:36):
Of it, agreed.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
And this also, I think I think for me over
the time I agree, I look around and I see
and people don't even realize because it comes out.

Speaker 3 (01:14:51):
In various ways.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
You see that stually a lot of the sadness, madness, anger,
depression and all this shit online all of the time,
And a lot of those people are the very loudest online,
Like they go online to vent because for some of them,
they can't vent it in the real world, like like
like they don't really talk about these things to therapists
or whatever they need to do, family members, loved ones,

(01:15:14):
best friends, so they divert that online and online justifies
whatever bullshit did they come in with, telling them it's okay,
telling them there's nothing wrong, telling them it's all right,
telling them to stay here, versus get your ass off
of here and actually find out what's the root cause
of why you're angry all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
And also and then I'll move on. But also that's
the other part that bringing it full circle, going back
to what originally started, is the woman who saw video
to friends and went, this is some gender wars content.
That's the other part. It's entertainment, right, And I'm very,
very very wary of where what we are entertained by

(01:15:55):
because entertainment that is, you know, reality TV. These two
people are fighting about being real housewives, even sports like.
I get that they can have other stuff related, but
it sticks to entertainment. Does a general entertainment from mass shootings?
That creating content from mass shootings? It's we're cooked. And

(01:16:17):
that used to And it's not that that wasn't happening,
it's just when it was happening, it was a thing
that was happening that the people around me understood it's crazy.
We were like, uh, people do that believe in Pizzagate
are fucking crazy?

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Yes, that was just it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
There was no discussion to be had. We didn't wanna
get well, you know, you can't trust the police. We
didn't say that shit. We just went that motherfucker was nuts.
He had a gun, he believed it's some bullshit he
found on eight chan, and he's just fucking crazy. We
are now at a new place to where we're like,
who did they shoot? Okay, I don't like the person

(01:16:52):
that got shot. Now that person is not crazy and
or we need to at least find a way that
we can believe maybe they weren't. You to me, it
then used to be something that happened on this.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
Side, I'm sorry, but that is true, right. It used
to be straight. You know, like you say, somebody got shot. Okay,
let's talk about the person that got shot now now
with like you said, not beers and the other things
for the sake of entertainment.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
Yes, So anyway, I'll move on because that was a
huge tangent that was not It wasn't planned to be
part of this discussion. That's why the feedback shows me
so long. All right, let's see YouTube comments. Let's see

(01:17:36):
Jack Wu Lane was a fitness girl in the fifties
and sixties. Jash Jason says, I was rolling during the
ex Double XLF Freshman part. If we're being real, though,
if half of those Wu Tang names came out today,
we'd be clowning those two. Hate the gender wars ha
ha Oh half the Wu Tang names came out, we
be clowning those two. Yeah, sure, I feel like we

(01:17:59):
clowned them when we heard them. All the rap names
are clownable unless you can rap. That's what make it
not clownable. Like that's been the rules. Now if it's
not my fault, if these niggas can rap, I wouldn't
laugh at their names. I like a lot of other
rappers who have weird names, but they but but you

(01:18:19):
know what, I'd be respecting them because they can rap.
Black who spells his name six lac k six lack
is all the old people call them. Nigga can rap though,
so I'll be like black Boom, that's it, Like, unless
you just go by your straight up this is my
real name. For the most part, you had to come
up with some shit that is kind of like like

(01:18:40):
what are you an X man? While you need a
cold name, but you equit yourself with them bars. So
Jizz Rizza is not like I heard Jiz and Rizzo
was like get it immediately, what a dope name? I
was like who? And then I heard the What happened
for most of them is you actually hear them rapping
and then you find out their names. Yeah yeah, unless
the name is the song like method Man, So you

(01:19:02):
for the most part, you'd be like, damn, who made
this fucking ice cream song? This shit is banging it
like Ray Kwan, the Chef, ghost Face Killer and the
Method Man, and you be like them, niggas can wrap.
Moving on anyway, Jenner Warters is diabolical. It's a ten
for me. How she turned that video into an argument
with sensational. True artists can take anything and make it

(01:19:24):
into something beautiful. She sampled that video like DJ Premiere
made a.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
Yeah that's hilarious hit new shit.

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
Jason motherfucker put that on T shirt. That is the
You said a lot of fun and smart things that
you've written in That might be the smartest thing you've
ever said. That people are sampling and turning it into content.
That is what's happening. Oh my fucking god, you changed
the way I see the world. That is exactly what happens.

(01:19:53):
We just need a sample, We take all the context out,
and then we turn it into our own shit.

Speaker 3 (01:19:59):
We creating, mixing in real life and being like remixing.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Okay, one of the people that got shot was a
CEO that was evil remixed. Were just gonna use that
party to skip over everything else. She took scraps and
made a gourmet mill that was jender War's gumbo. You're right,
I agree with you, all right. The poe was, do
you know one more than one of the Double Excel

(01:20:25):
freshman rappers?

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
I only know LaMelo ball brother and he was the
last one to.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
Go Yeah, well you and three percent of the audience,
three percent of the audience knew more than one, but I'm
sorry you and ninety seven percent of the audience did
not know more than one. And I'm in that ninety
seven percent. I think. I don't think I knew and
I listened to rap I did not know more than
one of them. Let's play another beat, because we did

(01:20:52):
do a long segment here, all right. The next episode

(01:21:33):
is the last episode of the week, Water under the Bridges.
Five comments. See what we got home? Sean says, wasn't wait?
Wasn't Lauren Bober in the news earlier this week for
getting kicked off a Jet Blue flight. She is taking
the no news bad news to a whole new level.
I can't even keep up.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
Gray is so much shit.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
I'd love to tell you I know, but I actually
do not know the answer to that because I can't.
Oh my god, we are cooked. I can't keep up
with this motherfucker shit. Oh my god, Like it's like
a reality show. How do you keep up with all
these plotlines?

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
And don't and the plot keep changing?

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Right, It's because it's because it don't matter that they
because to them, they just be on in Congress or
send It or the house talking some shit. About something else, like,
we're just not supposed to care. The day a piece
of shit, right, and the world seems to keep moving.
But yeah, you might be right. I didn't know. I
didn't I haven't seen that story. Residy Jinga says when

(01:22:36):
Karen said, are that Galaxy believes coming? Are the Jedi
five Stars horise cackling facial expressions, it was very funny.

Speaker 3 (01:22:43):
Because who else you think't gonna stop them?

Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
I've just says Texas redrawing districts. I'm here to renew
my point where Rider and I disagree on respectfully disagree.
No name calling here. They can do it because they
have all the data about where black people live and
can target them and make the districts more like Republicans
would like them to be. I'm against keeping race records
because it can be used for evils, exactly like in
this example. In a better world, the data about where

(01:23:06):
black communities are could be used with something helpful. But
here we are. I don't know that there's a disagreement there.
I recognize that that can happen, but the goal is
to not let evil people be in charge.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Right, So then you're keeping the data ain't gonna matter.

Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
Yeah, technically if you extend your point of view, and
I'm not trying to be hyperbolic, but like, shouldn't we
not keep records of anything about anyone ever? I mean,
because evil people can be in charge, Like, well, we
shouldn't keep records of gender, shouldn't keep records of disability. Meanwhile,

(01:23:49):
when we have people in charge that are good or
just doing the job, not even good, just supposed to
do the job, knowing where disabled people live so that
we can put the bus stop in that neighborhood is important.
So what I feel is that we cannot let the

(01:24:09):
idea that something bad can happen stop us.

Speaker 4 (01:24:13):
From the moral duty of doing the right thing with
the information so that when things go as they are
supposed to go, we don't have to start over every
fucking time.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
So that's why. And you don't live here, so you
just don't even know. It's huge among black people, black
people who are well meaning, who understand America, we all
are like, hey, make sure you fill out that fucking sensus.
So I you know, unless you're saying all these black

(01:24:51):
people are just ignorant, uninformed, don't know better than the
German lady about the American race relation experience. I'm gonna
just say, you gotta sit this one, and yeah, we
just gonna have to disagree. It's not disrespect, but I
just truly don't think you can understand because you're not
from here, and you don't you not you ain't you're
not black, and you ain't experienced it, so you just

(01:25:12):
don't know. But I hear what you're saying. It sounds
in theoriods, it sounds extremely reasonable until there's things like
the COVID shots where we use the census data to
make sure that marginalized people got first availability when Biden

(01:25:35):
was in office. So instead of it turning turning into
a negative of like, hey man, we don't even black
people are dying at a higher rate from being not vaccinated,
and you work for big farmers, so I know, you know,
instead of them just going, well, nothing to be done
about it, we won't have a data on it. I
guess we have to guess where the black people live.

(01:25:56):
They're like, no, this is where black people live in
the city. Put these clinics in this city, free vaccines
for people, and we're going to help the black community
overcome this hurdle that is being caused by inaccessibility and
other racial disparities and obstacles that live within our society.
So I don't know. Just because it's something that can
be a tool thats you for bad does not necessarily

(01:26:19):
to me mean that it should be thrown out as
a tool on a nice or not racism related. No,
are having a cool summer. We are having a cool
summer in Germany, and I love it. It's been about
seventy fake American degrees for weeks, no air conditioning needed.
Best summer in years. Maybe it was on an earlier
episode that you spoke about hot weather, but I'm not
sure you're right. It's just cool down today and yesterday

(01:26:41):
because it rained. Yeah, we're supposed to go to a
baseball game, but it got rained out. But it's all good.
I was happy for the AC to be able to
turn off this morning. Justin said, it took my mom
about two years to divorce her husband in NYC. She
was cheating. He was cheating on her the entire marriage.
It takes a very long time to get a voice,
and it can cost you more than you spent for
more than the divorce to get married, like it did

(01:27:02):
my mom.

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
Yes, and that's why a lot of times for women
to end up getting the short end of the stick
when it comes to this, end up being in Denton.
A lot of situations when they get divorced depend on
how everything goes right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
Let's see the next comment. Use Eve. As much as
kondis Owens deserves to be sued for every penny she has,
the macrons are doing her favor by giving her the
attention she desperately crazed. They'll sue her and probably win,
but she won't pay a dimond. Will make it the
her tire personality as long as she can milk it.
Some trolls are better off ignored. I don't know, I

(01:27:39):
don't know. I mean, maybe that's how it's gonna go.
Maybe not. I mean, Tasha k Sing's a pretty much
fucking like stopped all at Cardi b shit and she
was in court crying poor and trying to keep them
from taking the money and shit and trying to hide money.
So I actually don't know that that's the answer. And
I almost never I almost never go after people for

(01:28:03):
how they fight back against something that was undeserved to them.
Mcclos did not deserve this, and if they would like
to legally destroy this woman. I think they're well within
their rights to do so. And you may be right
that ultimately it's a strike saying effect, but I think
that is not necessarily true of Candace Owners. I actually

(01:28:25):
think it's the opposite with Canvas Owns, where her platform
is so big now ignoring like that's what you do
with a small fire. Candace own is not a small
fire anymore. She's getting the millions of using all this shit,
and she's using the content is the suing content of
it isn't necessarily any amplifying her anymore than the original

(01:28:48):
allegation content, you know, like it won't be this huge
jump of like, man, only twenty people saw her make
the accusation, but once the lawsuit happened, twenty million people
saw it. I really think it's eligible. And I kind
of'm with the mcrons on this. As I said earlier,
somebody gotta start fighting for facts.

Speaker 1 (01:29:07):
Yep, somebody gotta make an example, be like stop this bullshit.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
Well, just someone has to be willing to be like,
we can't just let people float lives out here and
prosper while the rest of us go and nothing to
see here. Hey, ignore it, maybe it'll maybe it'll go away.
Now somebody gotta be like, no, we can prove that
this is a lie, and you fucking and fight me
in court, then see you in court, and she can
talk herself into court and THENTO losing a case, and

(01:29:33):
I'm going to do everything within the power of the
law to make sure I get what the fuck I'm old.
You know, would you have said the same thing about
the black women and the pole workers and the lie
that was told on them in Georgia and they sue
Rudy Giuliani who was trying to avoid paying them at
every single term, you can make an argument of like
they shouldn't even assue really because he's a piece of shit.

(01:29:55):
He's never gonna make good on the debt that he's oldden.

Speaker 1 (01:29:59):
Yeah, but it's the it's bought of shit sometimes like
more than anything, Right, maybe I.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
Never get the money i'm old, maybe the judgment defaulse whatever,
but whatever it is, I gotta put in the public
record that this motherfucker is a liar, right, and the
court said that you set on the books. Yeah, And
I think sometimes it's important, but you know, it's up
to each individual's side when it's important.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
To them and person.

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
All right, last story, I mean last YouTube comments twelve Wow, Okay,
we'll see what y'all said about this sixteen minutes ago.
I hate I miss you guys. Live well when it
post on here on YouTube is more than way more
than sixteen minutes after we recorded. If you want to
watch us live, crowdcast dot io, search the Blackout tips
or TBGWT and then follow our channel and you can

(01:30:44):
check us out there. Hi, Rod and Karen, Thank you.
V Neil uh dark Nanda says those fools had the
nerve to be comment on how black people name their
children because we brought up the names of these white
dudes that are dating these people. Dark Man just says
that reminds me of the Black Marre episode about social media.
Uh local and the cabasso around the antibiotics is called

(01:31:07):
for a fun show. Thanks. I think he was just
leaving random comments about this episode. D Damien says Captain
Plannet and the Power Rangers are going to flip a
coin to see who could take down that pesky Donald J. Trump.
I'm so dead at Karen Colin Todd Bridge is an
old white man. Real tears christall, what's my brain thinks?

Speaker 3 (01:31:27):
Y'all?

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
Christaph says his white people news was hitting today, from
the Congresswoman to the Apollo Bear. Great episode, Thank you, Christal.
Jason says, man, this Epstein stuff is true. Is truly
the final exam for Maggan loyalty. No one has ever done,
no one has ever done more to look guilty than Trump.
OJ at least had a racist cop to give us
some doubt. If you're still extending the benefit of the

(01:31:50):
doubt now your co membership is complete. Yeah, and it's funny.
I made a joke, but it sounds like it might happen.
They might release the fouls redacting Trump's name, which is insane.

Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
Right, you're gonna release them? Release them?

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
How would that quell any of the people who have
a problem with with the Epstein fouls released? They well, yeah,
it's heavily redacted only for Trump, but we believe it.
Thank you Trump for giving us transparency. Who are these people?
And y'all were acting a straight food this episode. I
hadn't laughed as hard in a while. The tire Bridges
part was hilarious, but the Katie Perry justin Trudeau Park

(01:32:25):
took me out when Karen said, I hope she likes
maple syrup, and then Rod says that's what they hughes
the toss salads in Canada. That was Lebron James A.
D Wade photo with Roding and Aaron Karen Flexen for
the cameras too. Thank you. Listen, we'll make it quite
the tag team we do the poll is silliest name
Sebastian Bear, mclard, Pere Green Pierson or Cook Maroney. He

(01:32:50):
is all three dudes, Daton famous.

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
Women, cook the cook dude Cook Maroney.

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
Yes, well, Cook Maroney actually came in second of the vote.
Who came in third? It is abashing Bear Mclard vote okay.
And Peara Green Pearson came in first with thirty nine
percent vote.

Speaker 3 (01:33:08):
Peara Green Pierson, Para Green Pearson.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Who would have known? This is why we do the polls.
I had no idea which was the silliest. But now
we have some inkling as to which of these motherfucker
got the Cilia's weird name. Let's check. Let's see if
we have any voicemails, and then we'll I don't think so, okay,
So the next segment is just emails let me play

(01:33:32):
a beat, will come right back, all right? That beats

(01:34:05):
maybe by DJ Jaffa. We got two emails Karen critique
from your land, who says of Yolanda, who says, hello
Karen and Rod. This critique is solely for Karen, not Rid.

Speaker 3 (01:34:17):
Finally, times for Karen to get the smoke.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
I take a day off.

Speaker 3 (01:34:24):
You can you can sit this announce sir.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
I was getting tired of that shit.

Speaker 3 (01:34:29):
Even should I say, he still get attacked.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
It's about time, Karen. I can't believe you would eat smurfs.

Speaker 3 (01:34:38):
Delicious.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
Smurfs are smurfs or whatever they're supposed to be, not food?
Should we call you cargo? Mal now shaking my head
in a world that can off the feel miserable. I
love when you've been silly and play for and just
showing your joy. I suspect people aren't used to couples
actually like each other, not just love and being kind
and considered to each other. They possibly think it's an acting,

(01:34:58):
so they'll look for any reason to latch onto some
tiny thing and think that ah, gotcha. They also think
Rod should tolerate people saying mean things about his wife
and accusing him of saying things he hasn't home. We
don't play that, and that's good. I wouldn't stand for
it either. Yeah, I've decided to stake my claim on
that one. Oh you got man, don't right, don't be

(01:35:20):
mean to his wife. He don't know how to take it. Okay,
then don't be mean to my wife.

Speaker 4 (01:35:23):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
I've been listening to black outists for as long as
I've been married eleven years, and I've been listening to
them a bob but remain true to the court, that
being they tend to lead with respect, but will push
back and people get out of pocket. I was surprised
to hear that one comment about him cussing people out
because it made me made it seem like an everyday thing,
which is not. Yeah, it's not. You gotta like earn it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta earn that cussing out.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
I'm not a cheap date, all right, you got? I mean,
I typically you gotta either go way overboard for me
to be cussing mad and all that stuff, or you
gotta like be consistently out of pocket to It's like, okay,
I'll be a huckleberry, but that's a I look, I'm
pretty self aware. I am not bullshitting y'all. I'm probably

(01:36:09):
in like the ninety percentile of patience in the world. Like,
I'm a very fucking patient guy. I'm pretty. I mean,
I'm flat footed, I'm direct, I'm all that shit. But
like the stuff that I mean, look at the stuff
we just talked about today. I didn't go, fuck everybody
that's mad at Sydney swinging your piece of shit, your

(01:36:30):
dumb motherfuckers. I didn't say that. I also didn't say,
like me, my poor precious white angel Sidney swinging alone.
I understand we're all having traumatic responses to the world,
and I'm like, I see it. It actually makes me sad.
It doesn't. I don't have a anger impulse in me,
but I would say a lot of people that feel

(01:36:54):
similar to how I feel, where I'm like, I don't
think this is really what people are mad about. They
would be angry, they would attack people for making content
out of it, and shit, it's not worth that to me.
It's like, no, I see how you got there. I
just don't agree this time, and we move on. I'm
not a anyway, but yeah, I think also a part
of it is certain people want you to be gas

(01:37:16):
lit by them. So they write in and they're like,
this is how you really are, and they're hoping to
hit your insecurity and to be honest, back in the day,
that stuff would have hit my insecurities because it wasn't
just me knowing myself and the core of my being.
It was also part of me being concerned with how
I'm perceived. And as I've gotten older, I've given so

(01:37:40):
much less of a fuck about that. I don't know
what happened. I don't know, but I know me and
the people who love me know me and everybody else.
It's not really my business.

Speaker 3 (01:37:57):
Because you allowed to have them opinions. I just don't.
I'm not obligat to care.

Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
Yeah, I just I used to care, and I don't
know it was a bad thing. I used to care,
but I know I don't care as much anymore. Very
I don't know what kind you would. It would have
to be someone who is dear to me, going, Rod,
actually you're really fucked up. And here's why. Before I
would even consider that important, right because like a stranger

(01:38:24):
getting upset off a clip off they heard of a podcast, Okay,
and especially when you look around at what considered successful
in this podcast game. This is some of the most
horrible people out here, propagating some of the worst shit,
and they're just caked up. They're just fucking earning. They're
they're on every list, they're at the top, they're making

(01:38:48):
the most money. They're like, it don't matter they beat women,
It don't matter. If they was a rapist, it don't matter.
If they spread homophobia, it don't matter. If they spread
fat phobia. It don't matter. If they are terrible to
the women on their own platforms. None of it fucking matters.
It doesn't matter if they're a fucking conservative op. It
doesn't matter. If they're anti black, it does not matter.

(01:39:12):
And they can't be possibly told or even considered that
they might be wrong. Right, if anything, they do do
the things y'all say, they cut everyone out and attack
them and shit. So yeah, you know, we've navigated differently,
and maybe that's why we're not gonna blow up in
that way. But at least I sleep at night real comfortable.
I'm fine. I don't feel like there's ever a show

(01:39:35):
that we've done. While I left and went, I left
that wrong. I feel fine with it, and we'll be Okay,
so you know someone writing up and go, you actually
do be mad. Okay, Well, the thousands of other people
that can hear every episode don't seem to agree with that,
and I guess I guess you'll just have to have
a have your own opinion. When Roy gets mad, it's

(01:39:57):
using because someone is accused him of saying something he
hasn't said, or they used to be insanely out of pocket.
Regarding Karens, some people were writing and antagonize them until
you got hip to it and just ignored them. You
know what it is, Let's grow, thank you, and that
is true. I do do that now, y'all. I'm gonna
tell y'all what helped a lot. I don't know. Well,
I guess it's only gonna be helpful for those of
y'all that content creators. And I don't even know if

(01:40:17):
it will helped all of y'all the way it helps me.
I created a folder on our Gmail and I unable
the idiots and whenever somebody writes something fucking stupid, something inflammatory,
something ridiculous. Even people that write like I like to
be on the show, and you could tell they don't

(01:40:38):
know shit about the show, write an idiot's folder. It's
petty and it made me feel good. And nobody ever
really fucking knows what's in the idiots fold except me,
And occasionally I would forge something to boss you or
somebody be like, look at this motherfucker. But like, in general,
I'm the only one know the content of the idiots folder.
If you've ever seent some like super hateful shit, it's
just writing the idiots folder. Don't know why it helps me.

(01:41:01):
It's like it compartmentalizes it in my brain to where
I'd be like, I don't respond to idiots. It's like
I'm deeming them the idiot by putting them in the folder.
But something in my brain is like that person's an idiot.
They go in the idiot boxing ride. What do we
do with idiots? We don't respond to idiots? Do we do?
We go back and forth for idiots? No, why we
do that? We're not idiots? Idiots talk to idiots. So anyway,

(01:41:23):
created idiots folder. That's what I suggest y'all do?

Speaker 3 (01:41:26):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:41:27):
Yes, yes, because, like I said, right, Roderick has a
lot more He's a lot more patient than I am.
I have patience too, but Roger has more patience than
me because I'm I'm quick to be like, fucking them niggas,
like real quick, you know, something happened.

Speaker 3 (01:41:43):
I'm looking, I'm like, oh, that don't look right, that
don't sign right. Fuck them. Roger be like, hey, come on,
can analyze.

Speaker 2 (01:41:48):
It's a little harder, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
But I'm like because in my brain, wait, my brain tick.

Speaker 1 (01:41:53):
I try to assimilate, right, I try to look down
a few like, oh, it's gonna be conflict.

Speaker 3 (01:41:57):
The fuck are we doing? Why? Why are we even interacting?
Why are we here? You?

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Well, the thing is you, so you kind of use
me as a crutch though that's it's not the same
to me because like you'll get you like to give
that vibe out to the podcast in the world that
you're like, listen, I don't care. I just move all
the time. But no, when something by this Karen, she
just talks to meat the way I would talk on
the podcast. Yes, and I'm her idiots folder like she's no,

(01:42:24):
it's fun, Okay, I'm not complaining. I'm just saying. Then
you get on the podcast and act like I'm not
like Rodrick. Yes you are. You're very much like me.
You're just not doing it on the show or Twitter.
You're doing it in our house, which I think is
probably healthier.

Speaker 1 (01:42:38):
But if you have to vent somewhere because I try
to fund you out. In my mind, I'd rather talk
to Roderick than to put this bullshit online.

Speaker 2 (01:42:44):
Yeah, it gets to It gets to all of us
because it's just people trying to get to you. You know,
there's a reason he only reads the positive reviews out loud.
It's not that he doesn't see the bad ones. But
can you imagine what that does? You're psyche to see
that all the time. Most of us will ruminate on
bad feedback forever. And yet we want these two people
to tolerate critiques and other bad faith, often bad faith critiques. Yeah,

(01:43:07):
I don't even Yeah, And that's another thing. When we
started the show is like the platitudes are like all
feedback is good, you and me those that are if
you're worth your salt of critical thinking, you realize that shit,
it's not true. That's just a thing people say. Yep,
the show creators have matured in many ways, and I'm
sure many of the long time listeners will agree that

(01:43:27):
we've also matured with them. Ryder has never been afraid
of admitting when he's wrong or he's overreacted to something
or someone, But truthfully, it's usually someone who's crossed the line.
On another note, I've been listening to you guys so
long that I feel like I speak fluent Karen. When
Roder said Todd Bridges and Karen said who not that
old white man, I instantly knew who she meant and
said out loud Jeff Bridges. So when rob was confused
and asked her who she meant, I kept yelling Jeff Bridges, right,

(01:43:50):
good job do you have?

Speaker 3 (01:43:54):
That's what? Wait my brain tick, I just say Bridges,
my bad, y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:43:58):
Lastly, Justin Traudeau is just for in his dad's footsteps.
Pierre dated Barbara streisand back in the day. Now that
he's divorcing out of office, I know he can't wait
to get out there and have some big, real, big
fun justice new mantra is we outside stay sweety too?
You alloted it from Montreal? Oh well good? I feel
like son good for him. I ain't man, I didn't

(01:44:18):
realize he got divorced, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:44:23):
Also like kind of weird that presidents don't bake date
baddies you know, like in general, like not I mean,
I guess, because we make it so like you got
to be married to be president of the United States,
but just in general, not every president and prime minister
of every country's married. It's kind of I mean, I
don't know. It is kind of interesting because you would think,

(01:44:44):
like a celebrity and a president have some things in
their lives that are very similar that maybe a regular
person would not want to be pushed into, like right,
you know, needing security.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
Always being watched, stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:59):
You know, like I could see dating a president and
being like, yeah, well I'm Katy Perry. I walk around
with bodyguards and security anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:45:06):
Right, so this is just extra security as far as
I'm concerned.

Speaker 2 (01:45:09):
Oh, we need to clear out this restaurant so we
can hang out. That's what I.

Speaker 3 (01:45:13):
Do on a tunes time, right.

Speaker 2 (01:45:15):
Anyway, they are both the same in quotes, says Stephanie,
who says, hey, y'all, well, they got rid of the CPB,
the corporation that funded NPR and PBS. Something they did
what something they said they would do. Yes, they did,
and I think the end of the years when the
funding when it officially closes, those people these people who

(01:45:36):
didn't vote are still talking about this. His kh would
have done the same, And why aren't Dems doing anything
every time we lose something that's the same song and dance. Yeah,
and that's scary.

Speaker 3 (01:45:47):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
This is another part of why I say I'm scared,
because once again I know I'm seeing things related that
other people don't, and they'll go to me. That's not
even close to the same as as saying that the
guy who shopped the NFL tried to shoot the NF
their office was actually the luigia of real estate. I
think it is the same because they both exist in
a delusion that is a denial of fact. Right, you

(01:46:09):
can say you don't like or weren't supportive of Kamala
Harris for whatever reason you didn't support her at the time.
You cannot say this is what she would have done,
and it's all this shit Trump's doing. We know she
wouldn't have done that.

Speaker 4 (01:46:25):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:46:25):
You can't look at me and tell me they're the same,
because they're not.

Speaker 2 (01:46:28):
Yes, it's the same thing when they like, well, Biden
is not that good because no, But you can't just
say that, you know, at least to me, you can
say that shit, but not you can't say it to me.
And you know, I had a friend that around during
the election cycle last year. You know, he was talking
about the economy and you know, and I was like,
but it's a good economy, and it's like, yeah, well

(01:46:50):
people don't think it's good. I'm like, okay, but we're
not talking about people. It's me and you talking right now, right,
And we respect each other and we respect facts. So
while you can say people don't think it's a good economy,
which you're fine to say, don't tell me it's a

(01:47:12):
bad economy because they think it's a bad economy, right,
you know better. So let's let's live in facts. Let's
go and then when we go, who thinks is a
bad economy? And why? Now we're cooking with something. Now,
let's break those demographics down and then start studying who
believes is a bad economy and when and why? Because

(01:47:32):
a lot of the reasons they believe have not been
economically resolved under Trump, The reasons they believe have, but
the reasons they believe it was a bad economy, Trump's
policies have been addressing that, Yes, it has, because the
reasons were racism, right, so it is addressing getting brown
people out the country, It is addressing taking people off

(01:47:54):
of government subsidies and shit, it's addressing those things. Is
it making the economy better? Or is Trump having a
fire people who report on the economy accurately. Let's think
about it. They are pretending they don't see what we see.
That will we will be losing more and more things
that we have counted on. I love PBS, so I
went and got rid of paaramount and put CBS passport
on for ten dollars a month. I'll help it anyway

(01:48:16):
I can. PBS is the reason why I love to read,
why I love classes, while I love quirky documentaries, why
I can't speak why I can speak English. Although it's
not gone, it will be a shell of what it
used to be. It will those people online and pretending
the magic third party will come and save us any
now day. I bet yeah. Telling people she would have
gone gotten rid of PBS and started construction on a

(01:48:38):
ninety thousand square foot addition to the White House. Rose Eyes.
A lot of them have changed their content, aren't even
talking about things that happen anymore. No, no, yeah, because
they never cared and look like I will say, and
I don't ever share this stuff. I don't retweet it.
Sometimes I send it to a friend in text with

(01:49:00):
no comment. But every once in a while, my algorithm
will show me somebody who is so pissed off Kamala
lost that they are finding people's old tweets and then
finding those same people's new tweets where they're complaining under
Trump and they are being like this you and the

(01:49:22):
shotten freud orgasm that it gives me is off the
fucking Richter scale, okay, buddy is. I don't say it
because a lot of times it's very too callous, and
I don't ever want to let that intomorrow's spirit of life,
because it'd be like people being like, uh, this Palestinian
people are starving and they're not letting in any aid

(01:49:45):
right now. And then somebody will find their old tweet
that's like, I am, you know, not voting for Kamala Harris.
She is a war criminal and she would I'd rather
have Trump. And then they be like, then you say
this bit, your stupid motherfucker. I'll be like, let me scroll,
Let me scroll, because I don't I don't want to

(01:50:05):
retweet and I don't want to let that in because
that anger is very real and I don't want.

Speaker 3 (01:50:10):
To it, but damn, and it will consume you and.

Speaker 1 (01:50:15):
I I know that if I sit in my anger
long enough, like for me, that's the bullshit man will
turn into too. So for me, I have to kind
of step back because I'm not burned out.

Speaker 2 (01:50:30):
I was always kind of upset with the general tenor
of that discussion because it felt like very privileged Americans
knocking each other over very real deaths that were happening,
trying to turn our you know, virtue singer off of
some very real shit. But like I said, when I

(01:50:54):
see that ship, I think about, like, man, everyone's so angry.
Everyone's still so everyone thinks just because the person keep
in mind the person that gets quote tweeted with the
disu they're tweeting angrily right now, like yo, these people
are still dying, what the fuck? And so you know,
like I wouldn't dunk on them with hey, dead children
had owned your ass, Like I don't really see a

(01:51:17):
reason to do that. But like, man, I I get
everyone's mad.

Speaker 1 (01:51:22):
I get it anyway, Yeah, and not very funny. Everybody
think that their anger is justified and nobody else's is,
and that's the problem. Like, like, I really do think
that that's what the divide is for a lot of people,
even people on the on the left. There are people
on the left that are mad at each other, that
are mad for various different reasons. But everybody think that
their anger is justified and nobody else's is, and because

(01:51:44):
of that will always be a division. I'm gonna keep
that real. And so that's why it goes back to
what we said before. The suffering has got to be
enough that I got to look past your stupidity and
be like, I am suffering so bad that I know
you stupid, but bitch me on the same side. Right now,
let's get it done. But right now that's not happening.

Speaker 3 (01:52:00):
I'm still angry.

Speaker 2 (01:52:01):
Yeah, figures. I'm just so pissed because this was all preventable.
I'm so tired of having a walk one step four,
three steps back. I really wonder if Kamala Harris will
run again. I don't know if she does, but I
order her book anyway. Thanks for reading. Ps you can
make a two dollars donation a month and still enjoy
the PBS app steph Yeah, man, I think I already
had a PBS app But yeah, it's kind of crazy
that we're now at the point where we're hoping that

(01:52:25):
people can spend some money privately to keep PBS Public Broadcasting,
to keep that alive because we voted people in that
vow to destroy it.

Speaker 3 (01:52:37):
So we are cooked.

Speaker 1 (01:52:40):
Yeah, And you know, and it's my thing. I know
for a fact that I never could be a politician.
I know, me like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
they are made and built of something different than me,
just just completely different because the mass public and the
stupidity and the demands and the ridiculousness and asking them

(01:53:04):
to be all to end all way. At the end
of the day, they are just politicians. Is up to
the masses to determine the future of the country, not
the politicians. The politicians are just the avatar for what
the people demand and what and the tools that the
people give them and the public and mass is just
not smart enough to realize that you have all the power,

(01:53:24):
but the masses act like they have none of the
power and things just happen by whim and that's not so.
And people like me going, no, you actually have more
power than you do have the whole purposes that is
to make you feel disenfranchised. That's why we've bombarded with
bullshit every day so that you drown.

Speaker 3 (01:53:40):
So you have got to kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:53:42):
Pull yourself out, breathe a little bit, and get back in.
You can't consistently stay in my opinion, I can't consistently
stay undef that water because I would drown and give up.
And that's the whole purpose. And so that's why you
see so many people just being like fuck it, it don't matter,
blah blah blah blah blah. That's because you haven't given
yourself enough space to actually think. Because, like I said,
and my thing, if I was Calmon, I would never

(01:54:02):
run again. Fuck y'all, y'all didn't want me, bitch, Why
am I running for anybody's office?

Speaker 3 (01:54:07):
But that's just me. I'm not her.

Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
Also, she loses again, they're gonna somehow find it to
be her fault that we couldn't find a better candidate
in the four years that she wasn't the candidate, even
if she wins primaries and does everything they said that
they want to do, because as of right now, she
still would have a I think a double digit polling
lead over all these other people that people think possibly

(01:54:30):
could take her in the primary. And I still stand
by what I said. I think even if we had
a primary, she would win. I think what we're the
unsaid part of this is that a lot of especially
white people that are Democrats and liberal leading people, just
did not want that black woman to be president. And
they can't come out and fully articulate why, and they'll

(01:54:51):
come up with a bunch of reasons that, to me,
I think are just them masking of racial situation, because
they'll be like Gretcha Whitmer. I don't think there's anything
Gretchen Whitmer did to be president that Kamala Harris didn't
do better. Agreed, I'm sorry, y'all like her because she's
a white woman. Y' oh, big gretch, Oh, big gretch,

(01:55:13):
big gretch. She's a white lady, so that somehow that
counts more. Pete budajag Oh, he can go on Fox
News and talk, Kamala Harris caon talk.

Speaker 1 (01:55:22):
It's not a problem. A woman that has been in
all three branches of the government.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
Yeah, she's the most qualified candidate we've ever had for president.
You're not gonna be I see people sometimes, even black people,
that just say, and it's a certain phrase, they'll go,
she just stinks as a candidate. And I've known two
black men who use that phrase a lot with her.
I've never seen them articulate exactly why she stinks in

(01:55:47):
a way that some other candidate wouldn't. I've never seen
them be able to do it. So I'm just prone
to believe, like, oh, she's a black woman and she
has to carry that everywhere she goes and all the
burdens that come with that in America is not a
to look past that or to embrace that. But the
last thing I'll say too in this email, appreciate you

(01:56:07):
right now. It reminds me of what I said earlier
about us not existing in the same reality. Because what
is the ultimate example of we don't exist in the
same reality as a person that would genuinely tell me
Kamala Harris would be doing what Trump is doing.

Speaker 4 (01:56:24):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:56:25):
That means you have cherry picked your own balases and
said this. I have to believe this for me to
not say I was wrong. So I have to believe.
I have to keep no matter how far and absurd,
this goes. I have to keep propagating this a lot
of Hey, Kamala Harrison, same as Trump would have done
with Trump doing no difference between Democrats and Trump. It

(01:56:47):
doesn't matter. They could be literally putting us into internment camps,
slave pens, alligator alcatrast, alligator alcatrast. They could be doing that,
and they're gonna still be people going because we're cooked.
We're that cooked that it's not we're not existing in
the same reality anymore for people. And yes, it's sad.

(01:57:11):
All right, y'all. That's it for this episode. Thanks for listening.
