Speaker 1 (00:00):
I listened to the black Guy who tips because Rod
and Karen are so hot.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey, welcome to the Blackout to his podcast. I'm your host.
Rod joined us always on our cast.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Karen and we are.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Here to do some podcasting early in the morning, eight
am on the East Coast.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, we were bright and early this morning. Roger broke
me up. Said we was doing some pancake workout. I
want to say.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Pancakes, I said, we go to the pancake gym.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
That's why pancake gym.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
But I really just meant go get breakfast. And it
was like, since we're already up, let's do it. We
got it. I got I got stuff to do today.
I do gotta go to real gym. And we're supposed
to go to uh the Ball Brothers uh Kevi on
stage is in town, so we're supposed to go see that.
So it's like, you know, since I have things playing,

(00:48):
might as well get an early start. I'm already up,
so that's why we're doing this so early. The official
weapon of the show is folding chairs and an unofficial
sport bullet ball at bullet Ball Extreme Extreme Extreme UH
And today's a feedback show, so it's all about what
you guys wrote in to say about what we had
to say about all that stuff. So like we you know,

(01:12):
this is really a show for y'all. So that's what
we're gonna get into. The first thing we do, though,
is we like to shout out people that went to
the blackout tills dot Com looked on the right hand
side and decided, Hey, I would like to give you
guys a little bit of money. Okay, I like to
give y'all some change. And what do they get for that?

(01:33):
A shout out. That's what we're about to do. Man,
Happy teption. We're now listening to Charlott, Rod and Karen.
We welcome the good folks who tied to the black
gun you tips, that's right, New denominations, new salutations, all right,

(02:02):
Adam S thank you for the recurrent donation. Adam, Well
appreciate you. Marianod recurring donator of course. Preston Team drou
from the Slang of Ages podcast, which we were guests
on back in the day. Laurence c Zachary from the
Living Corporate podcast, which we I've also been on. No
if Karen's been on for Ourselves or not, but I

(02:23):
don't remember. I know I've been on there. It's been fun.
Ken M recurring donator Jason F appreciate you. And lastly,
the Falcons Diva, thank you so much. We appreciate all
y'all for putting a little some something in the collection
play we did all right, now everybody's new favorite thing.
Will we get five star reviews or will you get

(02:45):
an ad?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Right, it's up to y'all. Did they pass the test?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
You will not get new ads because we got five stars,
all right.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Somebody understood the assignment.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
This week we got two people that came in. Joe
the reviewer girl said, never done one of these? Well,
how you become the reviewer girl if you never did one?
But interesting, never done one of these? The way I
ran on here where my crowdcast notifications went off to
add this rider caring are so funny. Just Annie, thank you,

(03:20):
thank you. And the last one is if your reviews
ain't five stars, then it ain't good. It show ain't good,
said d Money on three three one, who says five stars.
I've been listening to Round the Chancers. I learned how
to Drive in twenty eighteen. Oh I love the show
and all the spin offs. Well shut out to you
for learning how to drive.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Come on a lot. I talked to a lot of parents.
They'd been like, my babe, don't.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Want to learn how to drive. Well, we don't know
what age this person was when they learned to drive.
They might they might have been young, but they might
have been an older person that learned to drive. Some
people live in cities where they have good troller transportation
and it's not a requirement. But congratulations either way. Learn
to drive is a big deal.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
It is.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Let's get right into the episodes. We did three this week.
The first one was a feedback show. It was episode
thirty one seventy nine, the five star reviews strike Back.
We had eight comments. The first one is from Ipia,
who says the talk about the definition of invasive species
showed me again that this show is great. The definition
of invasive species is something I think about often. Who

(04:22):
the size it and the decision would be for big regions?
Is this okay when someone from outside the size of
an animal is invasive? Interesting thought experiments are possible with it.
If some experts can say this number of species is
too many, what's their idea? How much change can then
ecosystem adjust? To because some change is normal, some percentage
can be tolerated. How can this number grow? Stuff like that?

(04:43):
And who talks about it? No one, So I thought
that I'm along with it, BROD does That's right? I
talk about it. I think about things, Sean says, holding
self back from writing a dissertation about the history and
signs behind invasive species definitions and the difference between natural
invasive species versus in traffic invasive species. I mean, there
are sometimes when the title is justified and sometimes when

(05:05):
it's arbitrary, scenes especially wrong when the species is labeled
invasive because it has an economic impact on an area.
Here's an article about the removal of an invasive species,
cats and how their removal prevented the extinction of endangered
species redheaded wood pig pigeon.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I don't. Yeah, congrats on all that. I'm not going
to read it, obviously, but uh, you know, it's just
more of a passing thought. And watching that YouTube video
was very like, huh, I've never really thought about this before,
but you know, I'd argue that humanity is the ultimate
invasive species, right.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
And ain't nobody come plugging us up and be like
it's too many of y'all.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
And I don't mean like the racist kind where it's
like I don't want these Mexicans in America. I just
mean like what tears up the earth more than us.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Right, the dear mind and their business that you know,
I would love to see you know how I'm reading
that comic Faruh? How to you know? The cats are
like mine?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
They business.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
All of a sudden, they get Raby's outbreak, which is
kind of like a zombie ie break to them. I
wonder from like the animal perspective, like you a deer,
and all of a sudden, these big ass machines is
come in and tell your shit up.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I feel like doctor Seuss covered that with the lorax.
Oh yes, you know he was mad for a reason.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah he was pitch y'all, come ahead, cutting on damn
trees down.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Even he says, my which is funny because I heard
doctor Seus's racist, which makes him a different type of
invasive CGS. But and what he defined as invasive, he
makes you wonder anyway, Eve, he says, my love for
Arby's does it mp my snitching? I have nothing to
snitch on them about. They are upstanding. The company who
cares see the gas lighting, this, the gas like I'm
talking about this why I can't really truly to ever

(06:41):
trust you? Who cares where those steak bites come from?
They could be kangaroo or a monkey or even dunkey meat.
Steak doesn't necessarily mean cal Yes, it does. You know
you know what they selling it? Ass, that's not what
the commercials say. It doesn't say the state rights not
necessarily count kangaroo bikes.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
The roast be roast beef.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Then I just want to know it only pertains to
the cut of meat. Now would I eat those steak bites? Hell? No,
But I'm sure someone enjoys them. No, you're not. You're
not sure. That's the point where none of us are
sure anyone truly enjoys Ari's enough to make it as
big as it is. That's the thing. Embezzling is, embezzling, says,
And I'm gonna always speak truth to power in this platform.

(07:28):
You're never gonna let y'all lie to me. We're keeping
it facts. And that great Arby's logo is that they
have the meats. They never said what kind? They say
what kind? No, they say what kind in every in
every ad they say what kin. They literally do. There's
not a single ad where they don't say the exact
kind of meats that they're selling you. It's roast beef,

(07:50):
this is a fish sandwich, this is yeah, this is
the new Arby's Burger, like they are telling you it's
to meet what kind of meats? So listen, Lis is
just not gonna be tolerated, not by me. Apia says, yes,
but what if the pigeon is racist? He said, why
did this make me laugh harder than it should have?
Appy'all love whatever is wrong with you? No, I agree

(08:14):
with her, what if the pigeon is racist? Classical me
lover says, all I have to say is far too
often progressive whites are not substantially different from white nationalists.
They just have an issue or two that keeps them
from voting Republican. The same host true for libertarians. Apia says,
I made a similar observation in my observation, people who
were super progressive sometimes turn right wing fast because it

(08:35):
was all about getting a reaction. Man, both of y'all spitting,
both of y'all spitting. I think when when you see
black peoples and probably other people of color, but I'm
choosing black because I'm black and this is what I've
seen from my lived experience. So I can't necessarily speak
to other people because sometimes the model minority thing kicks

(08:57):
in with certain cultures and I can And so they
might hosey up to white progressiveness and white dreams of
utopia in a way that I just probably can't.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yep, I can't.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Maybe my you could say my imagination is limited, I'd
say it's informed. But whatever, My point is, there's this
thing that happens with black people often you hear all
the time where they're like, I'm not a Democrat, I'm
not a liberal, I'm not a progressive, and you if

(09:31):
you exhibit their beliefs, you would find that they're probably
more democrat, more progressive, often honestly extremely mainstream Democrats. Like
if you were to actually clock where they are on
most issues, they're more extremely moderate type of Democrats. Then

(09:52):
they would be like staunch liberal, burn it out down
types and all that stuff. So I say that to
say the one of the parts one of the reasons
there's a reticence amongst black people about being labeled or
seen as part of the democratic coalition. I think is

(10:13):
specifically a reaction to progressive white people and their their
hang ups about race that make you feel like I
don't think I could if it came down to it,
I think you would throw everything about black people and
our causes out in the in the gutter. Yes, and
that is informed by history. That is not just a

(10:34):
feeling that we have. It's not irrational. It's happened several
times before the feminist movement where they cast black women
to the side to get suffrage, the Voting Rights Act stuff,
the compromises that you see people making in the wake
of losses where it's like, oh, you know what happened,

(10:56):
we went two woke and it happens to all all
these categories. But I'm like I said, I brought up
blackness because that's the group I'm part of and it's
easy for me to see. But I'm sure that there's
other LGBTQ people, There's Latino people, you know, there's other
people that feel this too, where it's like, oh man,

(11:16):
when it comes down to it, though Ezra Kleine puts
my rights on the negotiating table in a way he
would never put the things that he wants. He sees
my shit as like a bonus, not a non negotiable,
whereas I see my rights as non negotiat.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Ain't that the truth? And it's also something when you
talk about people that you know, if like you said,
if you talk to them individually, they and actually get
down to the nitty gritty and the bolts that you said,
they're normally like a moderate democrat, they know it, not
burn it all down and no, no, I started Republican.
But I also think that with the climate that we're in,

(11:55):
it with social media and a lot of the pressures,
and it's really easy to want to faulter in the
groups and the clicks and be not trying to fundy
influence by online and shit like that, and not want
to be considered an outsider, because if you said with
your chest like I do, I'm a mother fucking democrat
ten toes down, bitch, You're not gonna change my mother
fucking minds. I feel it's just me. I feel like

(12:17):
it's the same way I used to feel about feminism,
because we used to have all these talks about feminism.
Me and you just back and forth, people right in
and stuff like that, and I but I know, I
don't want it. And the biggest thing is once you
take on a quote unquote name or a title, you
have to take on everything that goes along with it.
And most people don't want to fight those battles that
if you say you're Democrat and all of a sudden,
well it ain't perfect, bitch, nobody's perfect, you know what

(12:39):
I'm saying. Like, like, particularly if you spend a lot
of time online, they're like, well, I don't want to
fight with nobody. I just want to fucking vote and
go on by my way, like I don't want to
deal with it. A lot of times people do that,
and my personal opinion, because a lot of people are
very uninformed and they just want to be neutral. They
want to get alan, to get along, They want to
feel special, they want to feel unique. They you know
that they don't want to feel like that they're following

(13:01):
the quote unquote pack, you know, because everything in this
country is individualization, you know, and so if all of
a sudden you're in a group, you can't stand out,
You're not unique, You're not special anymore. And nobody wants
to feel unspecial, and so, you know, you know, so
I have to be a liberal. I have to be
somebody that's not unquote quote unquote not impacted or I

(13:23):
don't fall in the system, but but you're in the system.
Like regardless of how you feel about things, our system
is we have two sides and some Earlier in my life,
there used to be a quote unquote neutral part. You
could be a liberal and it be okay. But now
it's got so bad where there's no middle line. And

(13:44):
a lot of people are in the now and they're
lying to themselves about it not being a middle line.
Like a lot of people they still want to believe
it's the middle line and I and I'm like, no, bitch,
it ain't a middle line. The other side wants me dead.
Where is the middle line here? Like? Like, no, it
used to didn't be like that. They used to want
to run the government. No, I might not agree with
everything they did, but bit they wanted the government to function,

(14:07):
that cared about the citizens and shit like that, like
at one period of time. But now it's got to
the point that now it's like they run on nothing
but god, THEMN racism. Where is the line?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Yeah, and you have people thinking that there's some choice
that we're not seeing and we're the ones tripping. But uh,
you know, I think this too, last Tuesday is proof
that it's sad because this is not a thing I
want to be right about. But I don't see it

(14:39):
any other way. Seeing so many states go blue last time,
this last Tuesday, seeing how deep the blue was in
states where some of them already have these different maps,
and it's starting to make the math questionable on the maps,
if it's going to give the Republicans the majorities they want,
because all of a sudden, it's not us, But there's

(15:02):
some white folks who've been inconvenienced, who are suffering because
the government is shut down, who are suffering because of layoffs,
who are suffering because of benefits getting cut, who are
suffering in many different ways, and the xenophobia and the
racism that was promised and has been delivered on. Yes,

(15:26):
it hasn't made your life better, has it?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Like?

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Okay, so they locking up people for ice. Did you
get a job or did you get laid off? Did
your groceries go up in costs or did they go
down in costs?

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Right? Did your labor go up? Because all of a sudden,
these immigrants they locking up. You don't have nobody to
pick your fruit.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
So all of a sudden, here come white folks voting
bleue a little bit. And the thing I have to
point out, because you have to be careful about this.
While I'm enthusiastic and excited about the winds, be careful
with the reasoning you lay at the feet of these wins,
because I'm going I think we made this mistake as

(16:05):
a country many many, many many times. It's a psycho.
It's happened dozens of times in America. Every time white
folks go blue, we do. The racism is over. They
learned a lesson, They would never do this again. And
I consistently, like I said, I don't feel great being
right about this, but I think I'm right. You know,
if I'm wrong, someone pulled some data. But I don't

(16:28):
see their social stances changing. I see them suffering and going, well,
this ain't it. You know, like it didn't matter that
Kama told them this wasn't it. It didn't matter that you
and I said it wasn't it. It didn't matter. The truth
just didn't matter. It didn't matter that Kamala ran on
the economy and not on trans issues. None of that
stuff matters to people how people felt matter. They wanted

(16:50):
to say to our word. They wanted to make their
kids not feel bad about learning about black history and
class and stuff. So somehow we ended up here and
the same way. I will not do the were they
voted for Obama twice? How can white people be racist?
I won't give them anything for these wins because I

(17:11):
feel like these wins are just you saving yourself. Yeah,
which honestly me too, bitch right, everybody's doing it. That's
what we've been trying to tell y'all. You know, shout
out to Snika Martin Green, I am trying to save
you when she was Michael Burnham All Star Trek Discovery

(17:32):
and she said, I'm trying to save you, And that
is that's what we say to electric all right. YouTube
Erica says, been listening to Rod and Karen OKTG for years.
Fairly new to the Blackout tips. Gotta say Karen was
absolutely on fire this episode. Very fun.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Oh welcome baby.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
We love Keith. Yeah, welcome to Welcome to the party,
pal provocative, AF says, Yo, great show rider, Karen, Rod,
you are so on point when you talked about black
celebrities at HBCUs. Damn you hit the nail on the head,
Thanks man, because that's a nuanced point. I know it
ain't for everybody. I'm sure there's a lot of people's
eyes glazed over. They just went this is a this
is some black this is not blackness one on one.

(18:13):
You know what the activists get paid on Twitter to do,
like this is like black, this is like advanced blackness.
You know, it's like, this is my exact problem with
this situation, and it's not necessarily one that I expect
people who either don't understand HBCUs or didn't go to
one to really understand why it troubles me to see

(18:37):
the hustle certain people turn HBCUs into while also refusing
to live a life that does anything to really uplift
Black people in a substantial way. Or when they start
talking about their politics, it's anti black And you're like, so,
who gives a fuck that you went to Hampton if

(18:57):
you're gonna get up here and tell everybody to pitch the.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Trump while he's cutting their funding.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Right, Karen, you are lit. You're so awesome. I love
all your takes. Rod is dope, but sis you are
the uncut part of it. Yes, y'all getting it. Y'all
get the show, so I be saying thank you, okay.
Alicia Nicole says, Rod, I want to write in about
how Karen stay ruining your jokes, but I was afraid

(19:25):
I get cussed out by your listeners because we know
who the start of the show is. Be so funny. It
be so funny. Though, thank you. She does do that.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's the way my brain, like I say, his brain tick.
It's literally the way my brain tick. Sometimes I'm like,
okay now. Sometimes my brain says, wait.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
A minute, I'm okay, it's life happens. My only problem
is that when I do it, it's a fucking somebody somewhere
writing in, Rod, you're ruined the joke. Okay, damn, I'm
doing a lot. I don't always get it right, and then.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You cut the queen's joke.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Then when it happens to me is oh it's funny.
Oh yeah, so hilarious. Christoph says, I said taser too.
Ramsey pH Done says I went into Rby's two weeks
ago because my brother wanted to try steak nuggets. He
loved them. Get a new brother says it's not as
expensive as you think that one's broken. Take it back
to the show. Put your brother in Rice. Let me

(20:26):
guess your brother likes his steaks well done, doesn't he?
Like a true negro? Like a true negro, he likes them.
He likes his steaks tough. You wan a hockey puck.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Sat smother than a one A highs to seven.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, that's the only way you like them. Nuggets nuggets anyway. Uh,
the poe was do you have pierce nipples? I was
thinking about Andrew Cromo. Yes or no? Ten percent? Yes, no,
shout out to the ten percent. We appreciate y'all.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
We do.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Nibble Pisces is such a like attention but not attention thing,
you know, because, like you, when people have them in
a noticeable fashion, it kind of is like, look at
these titties. But then you kind of like your mind
is like, well, that's wrong to look at titties, and but.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Like I'm actually like that.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
I feel confused. I have to look directly into the eyes,
into they's soul. I don't want anyone thinking I'm some
type of weirdo.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Right creep or something when I go, oh, oh, what
kind of ring is that?

Speaker 2 (21:30):
But there's no way, they didn't leave a house, like, boy,
these titties is titty in today they don't get these
nibble rings.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, they're gonna get them all. And they like they
did it for that purpose.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Like I mean, I guess, you know, it's like I
guess if someone has cigarettes in their shirt pocket, I
look at the shirt pocket, you know, I wouldn't stare
at it. But when it's nibble rings, almost like you
can't stop yourself. It's like I'm staring at your I'm sorry,
I'm it's awkward for both of us.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
My eyes gravitate to them.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah. Yeah, anyway, let's play our first commercial or since
we you know, didn't have one early, We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
H h.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
H m hm.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Hm hm.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I hate the wrong, but I hate the I hate
to stop recording button for the audio. I had to
my bad. So anyway, the next episode is thirty one
eighty John Stewart's Uncle Problem, And I just want to
say I feel like this was a very clever title

(23:15):
that I came up with because he John Stewart has
a podcast called or TV Shot I think maybe, but
it's called the Problem with John Stewart. So you see
what I'm saying, y'all. John Stewart's uncle problem was like
a different anyway. Six comments. Oppia says, I'm not carrying
any sowreds on my real estate walk. So far, so good.

(23:35):
All right, let's getting us posted. Classic R and B.
Lover says, like many people currently on government assistant, I
was on it for about a year and a half
as a child. When my mother was between jobs. She
went on assistant to get food stands to feed us
in medicaid because I needed to have a root canal,
and medicaid provides that plus glasses. I will never get
into the welfare debate or a way of life or

(23:56):
hand up I do, however, do know that when I
needed it, government assistants prevented me from going hungry, possibly
going blind, and having to live through ascruciating mouth pain.
I will never support anyone who thinks children, the elderly,
the disabled, etc. Should be punished. Whether people know it
or not, everyone is on government assistance. Garbage pickup, all
forms of transportation, the food we eat, public schools, community colleges, etc.

(24:20):
Are all subsidized by the government. In fact, most of
the hardcore no welfare red states are welfare states because
their contributions to the government offers lags significantly behind what
they get from other states. To enable them to function.
As much as states like NY and California, etc. Need
to challenge gerrymandering, they need to public back all the
I guess publicly take back all the money they contribute

(24:41):
to the federal government that the Orange Nightmare is taken
from their residents by refusing to cover basic governmental operations.
I say, show them what states rights can look like.
Change the conversation on who what truly constitutes the have
and have not Alas, I doubt any state has the
backbone to get down and dirty with them like that. Yeah,
and here's the thing too, man, because I think that's
super important. Like this thing had kind of bothered me.

(25:04):
Earlier this week I posted without much of a comment,
but I posted this article about Charlemagne saying that Democrats
basically need the cave and just let the open the
government again. Don't like you didn't get You're not gonna
get anything from the Republicans. Just give up, fuck the
people that you're fighting for. You lost, and you know

(25:30):
it is what it is, basically, And I said, I
think my comment was an op because I think Leonard
is an OP, and the reason that I said that
was not necessarily pertaining to the strategy of it. I'm
not a prideful person. I don't think politicians really get
to be prideful. So it's not like I just want

(25:53):
the Democrats to prove them wrong. I don't care who
gets hurt. That's not what I'm saying. I think that
dude's an OP because I think he argues about why
people don't support Democrats, why they don't want to vote
for them. He calls them we He says their messaging
is bad. This is actually a situation where their messaging
has been very consistent, where the people who support them

(26:19):
have been advocating for them to take this stand. Where
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies actually caught a lot more
flak early on for saying that they were going to
just do whatever it took to keep the government open.
When this happened earlier and Schumer did it, he took
a huge hit for that, and people like he used
to step down and resign. So this argument that it

(26:43):
would be seen as positive, or there would be no
political costs, or that it would even galvanize the base
out of support is a lie. And what this person said,
and I don't want to integrate them because I like
this person. I think, you know, they be making good
points and stuff, and I think what they're saying is valid.

(27:04):
But it was essentially like easy to call him a
coon when you're not one of the people worried about,
you know, the benefits of you know, this government or
whatever is happening right and you know, I'm not gonna
argue with the person because I feel like that's a
personal thing that they're probably going through. When people say

(27:25):
stuff like that, a lot of people have been laid off,
they can't pay their bills. This is the longest government
shutdown we've had since the last government shut down under Trump.
This is real. This is not theory. This is not
when I get on this microphone. I'm not up here
to debate Devil's advocate shit. You know, like, this is

(27:47):
not I'm not trying to score points. I think this
is real life shit. And I think the Democrats capitulating
and getting nothing is just as bad as it'll be
worse than holding out to get people health care or whatever.

(28:08):
The reason I say that, it made because I asked
when you're saying people aren't impacted. What do you mean,
because we're not. We're not all impacted the same. Let's
let's get that out of the way, right Some people
are gonna be hurt. Government workers are hurt way worse
right now. People don snap benefits. I hurt way worse
right now. Yes, but let's talk about impacted. We live

(28:34):
in Charlotte, hub of banking, a hub of airports. Ten
percent of the flights shut down I think come Monday
because the government doesn't have They're not going to pay
the people that work at the FAA to cover all
this shit. Right Obviously, insurance premiums for all of us

(28:55):
that ain't a just you know, I tell you all
the time on this show. I see the every every day.
We lose subscribers every single day because there's people that
work in the government, there's people that just got laid off.
They can't afford to be a premium person. We lose

(29:17):
that money every day. Like like, I don't sit up
here and complain about it because I think, honestly, I
try to be grateful for just the fact that we're
even able to do this at all, and we're gonna
do this as long as we can. And but I
understand we're a luxury, We're not a need for a
lot of people. That that's totally understandable. Uh, but yeah,

(29:42):
people write us. They're you know, blessed their hearts. They
don't need to do this, but they'll write us to
be like rid Karen, I can't afford this. I'm gonna
come back when I can. And I'm like, you don't
got to explain anything. This ship is fucked up. When
you say not impacted the price of the groceries, housing,

(30:02):
all this stuff, like, all of this stuff is impacting people.
It's just different. What I won't do is give Charlemagne
credit as if that's what he's talking about, because that's not.
It's like helping that scorpion across the river. You can
make the same point and least Charlemagne out of it
because he is a coon. He is a sellout that

(30:25):
that doesn't have anything to do with That's not me
choosing this one comment to go, well, that makes him
a coon. He wants to he wants to democrats the cave. No,
I'm talking about a history of cooning, a history of
rhetoric that has been anti black, like just because he's
reformed his image some days and in other days he backslides.

(30:46):
You can fall forward if you want to. But it's
bigger than just this one thing. So I say all
that to say like, yeah, this, this shit is real
and everybody benefits from some level of government and assistance.
I put the pole as have you ever used a
government assistance program? And we'll get to the results in

(31:08):
a bit. But I put that on there on purpose
because I think what happens is once you start to
think about it, you start realizing like shit, yeah, oh yeah,
unemployment oh yeah, uh, Medicaid, oh yeah, Medicare oh yeah,
uh a snap benefits, food stamps like, uh, if you lived,

(31:30):
if you ever lived in the projects, all kinds of stuff,
community college, Like, there's so many ways that you've been
benefiting from the government, So shutting it down affects everything.
It just affects so many more people. Then it affects everybody.
And if you don't think it affects you, more than
likely you just didn't take the time to think about it.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah. And also before you go on, I want to
add a few things. And the thing is, when you
ask that question, you know I would knowingly because There
are a lot of people because their parents protected and
sheltered them as the children. There are a lot of
people who went through their whole lives and if you
ask them, they will say that they never had government assistance.

(32:11):
But if you act their parents and people around them,
they would tell you, yeah, we had this, this, that,
and the other, but they never told the children. So
you have some people that are under the delusion. I'm
just keeping it real because of the protection of the
protection of the parents protecting the children, and the children
too young to understand that they had some form of
government assistance that some appeared in their lives. You just

(32:34):
don't know. So when somebody asking you for as your concern,
you're telling them the truth. But in reality, it's not
the truth because you don't know. You never asked.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
You never uh.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Because for most children, the things that happen around them,
particularly when they're young, it's normal. Half of your family
function is normal. So in y'r mind, know you you
will never quote unquote home bless, you will never househopping.
You you were always fed, you always had clothes and
shoes and all these other things. But you really don't
know the things that your parents had the sacrifice of whoever,

(33:05):
whoever took care of you or go through and because
for some people using it, because of America, using these
things are quote unquote shameful and embarrassing, and you don't
want people to know that you're on these things quote
unquote because it's ass backwards. People go, well, pull yourself
up by the bootstrap. You go, well, I don't have
a bootstrap. And then they go, well, I don't know

(33:26):
what to tell you to do, you know, and then
you go get on government assistance. Thoy, you're on government assistance? Yeah,
because I need it, bitch. And in fact, I, in fact,
every time I get motherfucking paid, it is deducted out
of my paycheck. So I so my thing is use
the services, you know, because you because they gonna take
it out regardless that if you use it or not, bitch.
And so but because we go, hey, don't use the

(33:48):
assistance that you paid in because we're gonna shame you
even though you need the assistance. So what now I
got to go home, and now I got to go without.
Now I got to go lacking in the system that
I paid for. It doesn't make sense. And also about
the government shut down, I've talked to family members. A
lot of people don't evenly understand what it's about. Like

(34:09):
they just go, shit not function, and they just go
ship not running like like like they kind of got
an idea. But some people actually don't really listen. They
just go, well, I don't have these services and it's
not running, and old snaps, they cut snaps, They cut
this like they understand shit not running, but they don't
really understand like why Democrats are just steady. And a
lot of them also don't really understand that if the

(34:31):
Republicans want with the ship drun, I don't have to
do is pass, vote and run it like like they
don't understand. Not turn funny.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
That that's the thing. I hate to be a dick,
but this is how they This is how you're gonna learn,
Yes it is. This is we're paying for our ignorance.
People that let Republicans be in charged, people that didn't vote,
people that aren't informed on issues. This is, sadly, how
you get informed from this level of suffering. And you go, well,
how did this happen? When your flight gets canceled and

(34:57):
you go what the fuck?

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Like that strange?

Speaker 2 (34:59):
That book for Thanksgiving six months ago, and now they're
telling me I can't fly. What the fuck is happening?
That's how you're gonna end up learning. I hate that.
I like no, Like, That's why I said, this ain't
no gleeful party, This ain't no light ribbing like Charlemagne's
comments were Democrats, you fought. It seems like you're lost

(35:20):
the fight at this point. You know, gone and give
it up. At least give the people some relief by
getting the government back open. Let these people get these
snap benefits, Let these government workers get their checks. We
don't need all this craziness at the TSA during holidays.
Like I think you lost. I feel like they lost.
It's over here. This is the same guy that would
shill on shit on Kama Harris and then when she

(35:42):
does her book like toward go take a picture with her.
This is the guy who wasn't speaking out against Trump
much until Trump said some shit to him, and then
it was like, oh no, now I'm a rose Trump.
This motherfucker just cares about flying during Thanksgivings. I was like,
I don't need all this craziness at TSA during holidays.

(36:04):
So at no point they're going to do an end
depth discussion on that show and be like, Okay, so
what happens if Democrats quote unquote give it up? What happened?
What are we losing? What are Republicans passing? And what
are we losing? No one's gonna talk about that, So
what ultimately, Because like I said, this person is a

(36:25):
federal employee and I know they do good work, they
help people. It's what happens if Okay, sure, part of
us opening the government the deals that the Republicans want
to make is cutting your job. So it's not just
a this is a temporary government. You don't have a job.
They're firing government employees during this what they're not supposed

(36:46):
to do. It's being challenged in court by Democrat ad
AG's and shit, it's being challenged in court, but they're
already doing shit to make sure you don't get what
you're supposed to get anyway. So this is the suffering
that didn't have to happen, that is happening. And yeah,
it just it reminds me of all that. Michael says,

(37:08):
I can't stand John Stewart. There's such a difference between
sharing the Thanksgiving table in the privacy of his family's
home with his shitty uncle and going to on air
to key key with Bill O'Reilly and turning that into
some moral cause. There's a conversation white people need to
have about what to do with our Trump voting family
and friends, because some of them might be able to
be reached, and I wouldn't want to radicalize those people
by isolating them. But there's also a whole bunch like

(37:30):
Bill O'Reilly who will never change, who are just pieces
of shit. And while I could walk away from my
shitty family members like that, including my parents, I understand
that shit is hard and not everyone's going to do that,
And to be honest, I had a lot more reasons
for going no contact than just how they vote. Having
no empathy is why they're Republican, but it also influences
how they treat people, you know. Anyway, I came to

(37:51):
say that there's a kernel of a real issue John
Stewart could choose to talk about, but instead he's platforming
Bill O'Reilly and trying to make himself feel better about
being in touch with his piece of shit uncle instead
of keeping his mouth shut and doing it in the
privacy of his home. Agreed, Agree, We didn't asks for that,
because that's the part every person knows that's relatable, meaning

(38:13):
the idea of having like black people, I'm black, I
don't go to Thanksgiving and everybody's on the same page
about all the issues. Everyone knows what he's talking about.
That is completely different from me having that uncle who
was like homophobic and being like, well, yeah, he my uncle,
So he'll be on the podcast on a regular interval now, guys,

(38:36):
And I'm sorry you just got to deal with his
opinions because he's my uncle. No, my platform is different
than my kitchen table, and you're not giving us a
kitchen table at the Daily Show. You're giving us content,
and so what who you choose to put on that
content with. It's part of the message. So yes, your

(38:57):
idea of I need to be around these people is
that's a selfish thing for you that you try to
turn into us being dicks. Now, the other thing I
want to say about this, which I thought of later,
but it's super important. John Stewart's love for his uncle
is not changing his uncle. No, that is the myth

(39:20):
that we have allowed to fester and it is killing us.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
All.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
It is this ultimate faith and belief that there is
not a stagnation in these folks, and that they are
not choosing this willingly and they can just be educated
or loved out of it. And the truth of the
matter is you're taking away their agency. They believe this, yes,

(39:47):
they do. They choose it over and over. If your
uncle was with Trump in twenty sixteen, lived to twenty
twenty five or twenty twenty four and chose Trump again,
that wasn't a mistake that he made. There's nothing you
have ever said to him at that Thanksgiving dinner table.
He doesn't respect your work, he doesn't respect your messaging,
he doesn't respect your platforms. It doesn't matter if you

(40:10):
have Bill O'Reilly on your show or not. He doesn't
really feel like what you say has any merit. And
the pumpkin pile you're sharing with him ain't. It ain't
changing him, homie. But what it is doing is changing you.
It's changing America. It's making us compromised because when we

(40:32):
go to battle with these folks in the voting booth,
in the ideological warfare of just life, when we go
to when we have to sit up here on these
platforms and tell people like this is how things should be.
You gotta pull up short. You can't. You can't go

(40:54):
all the way to the end zone. You gotta kick
the field goal because you got to stop and go.
I don't want to score a touchdown my uncle. I
want to put your uncle in the ground. I want
to put him out of the game. I want to
see your uncle's leg bend the wrong way. Understand, I
won't see him get the CTE. I want him carted
off the field. Your uncle ain't my uncle. I don't

(41:17):
got to love him. Your uncle ain't never love me.
If anything, his policies and the things he's willing to
do say he hate me. And you want me to
cry for you. You want me to think you a
hero because you holding hands with this man. Nothing could

(41:38):
be further from the fucking truth. And I'm not hypocritical
about it, because I think there are black people out
there that's very hypocritical about this, and uh, they won't
like what I have to say, but fuck it, that's
your shit to deal with. I try not to tolerate
this shit from anybody. Meaning I know people that try
to carve out some sort of exception for like is Farakahn, Well,

(42:01):
you gotta understand.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
I don't have to understand. I think that's that's a
compromise that puts you in a bad situation where you
try to tell white folks they need to have some
type of zero tolerance and then you go kick it
with it with the minister and be like, nah, what
y'all gotta understand what he's done. That's what they be saying, right,

(42:23):
And once again, if it was your private thanksgiving table,
I wouldn't give a fuck if you probably be like, man,
that's the homie, and yeah, it's complicated, but nah, you
using your political platforms and endorsing that man or having
him endorse you is say something about you and the
stuff you say you claim to stand for, and it

(42:44):
gives permission to other folks to go, okay, So we
don't have to stand for the ship all the time, right,
So what's wrong with sometimes being like, yeah, I got
the racist homie and he coming on here with me
and we're gonna disagree, agree to disagree. Nah, Man, Sometimes
you just got to take a stand and be like
that shit is wrong. And if you're not willing to

(43:06):
do that, then who gives a fuck? Cause if you
not willing to like say, I shouldn't praise the fact
that I can kick it with my uncle, which I
think is a low bar nigga. I'm not asking for
a lot, but if you can't say, you know what,
I got to race his uncle and that's not anyone's business.

(43:26):
I'm gonna just leave that private.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Everybody got fucked up family members and keep it trucking.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Like I'm cool. But you try to turn to a
badge of honor, and I have no respect for that man.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
So yeah, And like I told you, that message was
not for us. That message was fellow white people to
let them know and let them understand get off my
back that it's okay. Like literally, people have probably been
in his ass. So he was like, well, let me
go make a statement to let these white liberals who've
been on my ass. No. But baby, when he said,
I was like, oh, this like sometimes when white people

(43:57):
make messages you have I got to understand this. I am.
I am not. He's not talking to me. And I
was like, his uncle ain't got shit to do with me.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
So for me, we weren't even a thought in his
in John Stewart's mind, of course, not a black person
wasn't even a thought in his mind.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
I Benner with y'all.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
The idea of us sitting at a table and him
saying that to my black ass would never happen in
his mind. You know, like I, as a person who
wrote for TV like Late Night, I was honored and
privileged to write for possibly the last Late night black
hosted TV show. Hopefully not the last, but possibly the last.

(44:37):
And the privilege of that was I never had to
work for a Bill Maher who would say something racially
racially abhorrent to me, but I needed that check. I
never had the right for John Stewart, who you see
what happened with him and why it's and neck and
you're like, man, that must have really sucked for why

(45:00):
because he had an existential moment he you know, walked
outside and cried over that shit because he couldn't nail
that man in his face or whatever, or he knew
the hierarchy there. And you gotta quote unquote make peace right.
You know, you you don't have a choice. If one
of y'all gotta go, it's gonna one hundred percent be

(45:21):
you right. And I'm glad I never had to deal
with that because I don't know. It would have drove
me crazy to sit up there and have to write
for a person that has no moral clarity. To me
that that comes up short in such an egregious way.
Let's see, nature Boy says you nail that John Style

(45:42):
represents a significant portion of white people if you racism
as a minor flaw instead of a major moral failure.
I understand that your racist uncle is your homie, but
his attitudes don't stay at the door, and it weighs more.
It has heavier consequences in the real world than any
dining room table. Let me say also, I think I
said it during the show, but I just want to reiterate.
He never says his uncle is racist. He says he's
to the right of a till of the hunt. And

(46:02):
I think that comedic cop out is there on purpose,
meaning John Stewart knows. If he sat in that room
and actually said what his uncle's beliefs were without a joke,
people would be like, what the fuck are you talking about? Right, No,
it's actually not funny, and no it's not cute, and
no it's not It doesn't make you sound morally brave.
If he sat down there and said, listen, my uncle.

(46:25):
He doesn't believe black lives matter. He thinks he thinks
people should be Ice is doing a good job. They
should be blocking people up with mask and shit. My uncle.
My uncle thinks women should not have the right to choice.
My uncle thinks it's okay that Donald Trump is a
rapist and pedophowl and da da da da. Allegedly he's

(46:49):
okay with all that stuff. My uncle is like if
he had to say that, Oh, listen, my uncle is like,
fuck Gaza, okay, Like that's my uncle and I love him.
Now we cook it because you ain't want to say that,
because that was a real issue to the right of it.
Tiller then means could mean anything to beess it could

(47:09):
but say what your uncle really supports, and then tell
me how brave you are that y'all can eat custard.
Tell me how I am the weak one for not
wanting to go to your house, nigga, even he says,
John Stewart is a coward who was saying this to
go along to get along bullshit because he's afraid that
he'll be kicked off the air like Jimmy Kimmel was.

(47:30):
But he probably wouldn't have the same supporter as Kimo.
I get that it's hard to cut off maga relatives,
but I don't need a lecture about it. Love your
maga relatives if you want, but don't preach to me
about getting along with people who don't recognize my humanity. Yeah. Man,
I've told this joke on her not joke story story.
This has really happened. It's not a joke. I told

(47:50):
this story on here many times, but I'll tell it,
try to tell it a little quicker at this time.
But when I had white friends and we would kick
it sometimes, and you kick it, people drink, you talk,
share stories. You know, ninety nine percent of the time
is fine. But then there's that one percent of the
time that every black person who's ever been in a
group where they're one of the only, if not the only,

(48:13):
black person, you have these conversations where you're like, this
is white people shit that don't really understand me or
my culture. So they're fucking up and in ways they
don't even know they're fucking up. And now I have
to choose, am I gonna be the fucking party pooper
or am I gonna pretend that this shit is okay?
But I know it's not do I take in this

(48:35):
trauma or do I dish it out? Like what do
I do? And the story was I won't say that
guy's name, but he's talking about his grandpa, who's like
a real old man, and he just went down his
grandpa's house and he's telling the joke, a cute story,
not a joke about he went there for Christmas one time,

(48:58):
and it's grand father locked himself in the bathroom. And
the reason he locked himself in the bathroom is because
this guy told his family as a joke that he
was going to bring his girlfriend to Christmas and his
girlfriend was black, and it was so chaotic and you know,

(49:28):
like whatever that it made his uncle, his grandfather go
lock himself in the bathroom and refuse to come out
and talk to people. And then they had to go
convince the grandpa like no, he's actually you know, let's
say his name is Howard. It's not Howard's not really
dating old black girl. Grandpa, come out the bathroom, come on,
eat or eat done with us, it's not ha ha.

(49:50):
And he's telling me this story, and I'm waiting for
the punchline, waiting for the punchline because he's telling me like,
this is the funniest shit that ever happened in the world,
And I'm like what, And like the other white people
at the table are kind of like laughing, and I mean,
I'm not I have a good time on a funny person,
but I'm I'm I'm like, what the fuck are y'all

(50:14):
laughing at? Right?

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Where's where's the punchline?

Speaker 2 (50:18):
What's so funny that his grandfather is racist? Well, no,
I'm not saying. I mean he's like a little racist,
but he's like an older guy. Yeah, he's an old racist.
But why would that be endaring to me? He didn't
raise me. He just a racist to me. That's all

(50:43):
you've told me. You don't have any other stories about
your grandfather. You ain't telling me about how he took
you fishing. That wasn't cute. You tell me how he
told you how to throw the story you thought was
cute to tell? Was he racist?

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Ha ha ha?

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Thank god I wasn't actually dating a black girl. So
now it's like, I know you got that in you,
that pressure you you when you look at a woman
who was black, part of you was like, uh, can't
bring her home to grandfather, right right. So now I'm like, Okay,
that explains why you probably only gonna date white women
or whatever you want. You definitely want date a black one.

(51:19):
And I'm proposed to act like that's not a choice
you're making. So I say all that to say, like,
that's the cost of being in these spaces. And these
dudes don't really have the fight in them like they are.
Like I was his quote unquote friend. I'm sure. I'm
sure he used you know, god, my friend. He's black.

(51:41):
I like him. But I remember being like, nah, that
shit wasn't cute. It's not funny, and fuck him, and like,
I think people really because I'm not missing words, guys,
these aren't jokes. I'm telling you. I was like, yeah,
fuck your grandpa. Uh. And it wasn't like on some
revolutionary like what we're gonna do. It was like, man,
that story's not cute. Fuck that dude. Oh man, you

(52:04):
can't say that. Well he's saying fuck me. Yes, yes,
I'm not going to their house for Thanksgiving obviously because
he would go lock himself in a bathroom. And so,
you know me, I make a lot of jokes. At
that point, I roasted this racist grandfather. I roasted him
for having a racist grandfather and all that shit. But yeah,
it's not anyway. They just can't really understand Evie, says

(52:26):
John Stewart. Let me see that. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, okay.
I think Eve was the one that said it your
mag of relatives. If you don't want to, if you
want to, but don't preach to me about getting alocked. Yes,
don't preach to me. Dog. You don't get to preach
to me ever, because that doesn't happen in my house period.

(52:46):
And if you're not gonna be the kind of person
that's willing to be the party pooper, like like I
like like that, then you can't really be in my
company at some point because I need you to be
had that in you, that's all, and I expect myself
to have it for other folks. You know, if you
come to the crib and it's like, uh, here comes
some bullshit flying your way and I just sit there like,

(53:09):
hey man, this grandpa, you know, I get it. If
you go man, fuck rod Man. He ain't really about that,
Sean says, I don't think that we can have flying
cars driven by humans. However, everything becomes automated with extreme
security to prevent overriseing inter vehicle communication. It could happen. Unfortunately,
I do not see our system could come about without

(53:29):
of being managed by a government program, a government program,
a government program. Motherfucker. You ain't be worried about that
shit being done by Elon Musk or something like this
is like it's I don't It would be even worse
if a building one of these just brandom tech guys
got a hold of the shit, let alone the government. Uh,
this shit ain't happening, That's all I'm saying, and they

(53:49):
don't need to happen. Humans already fucked up. We can't
drive regular now. I'm giving you the gravity and a
two ton stone flying at all times above our he
it's that.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Shit won't end well doing math and shit as many
people the bad at math.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Who's gonna be the first person to drunk fly? Don't
don't drunk, don't drink and fly?

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Yeah we go. That's gonna be the PSA.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Don't drinking fly buddy, you you've had a lot. You
sure you okay to fly? I'm frying, damn it.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
We're gonna have PSAX. Don't forget to put your baby
in the helicopter. See if they ain't a certain amount
of way.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
It's the law totally different, meaning the helicopter parent for
yeah us YouTube. Damn Cuz shot at this chick forty
times and miss He should have just pointed at himself.
Never mind, he probably would have missed that too. Give
his ass like and give her one attempt to hit
his ass lol. Riel says, Listen, fried ribs are my
new go to, especially living in the Midwest and turning

(54:46):
on the barbecue is not ideal in the winter. DXL
twenty two says John Stewart always seemed like the worst
kind of fake, reasonable centrist. He would scold Democrats on
the show and yuck it up with Republicans, him pretending
to Bill Bridges the common ground with the right, while
it's clearly so his uncle would pass him the bland
ass gravy. Thanksgiving. Now some people are flowing him as

(55:06):
a canna for President twenty twenty eight. Let's not fall
for the banana and the tailpipe. Please, oh forgive the
long post and fire and this show was fired. The
post wasn't that long, and honestly, I would love to
see John Stewart or any of these people that people
think they love try to run for office. I don't

(55:27):
think they're gonna do it, because I don't think they're
stupid enough to do it. But I would love to
see them run for office to no joke, because then
they'd have to actually pick some platforms and some issues,
and I think John Stewart would probably pick the Bernie
the Bernie Sanders route of just I'm just criticizing the
left at every turn without really putting up a truly

(55:51):
different idea. You know, it's Bernie Sanders fifteen dollars minimum
wage thing. And then when Democrats went, okay, you know what, yeah,
teen dollar minimum wage, it just kind of took the
wind out of his cells because his whole thing was
like this, As long as these Democrats are in opposition
of this, then I can say I'm the most left.
But when everybody's like, yeah, that's all right, if anything,

(56:13):
maybe we should go hire, well, now, what the fuck?
What am I so mad about? Right now? I gotta
make up a lot like oh, they and they don't
even want to do it, Like what what are you doing?
What are you doing? You want the issue? You now
everyone's doing it? Just take credit for the issue. Stop
telling us that you know the Democrats are still the worst.
At that point, you've influenced them and now we've gotten

(56:35):
a thing. Show us why you should be president, agreed.
The girl on the other side of the road says,
I know that man with the Starbucks with the gay
flag to order Charlie Kirk's drink mint tea with honey
and got angry because the workers didn't care and simply
wrote Charlie's name without any drama.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Right there was like, okay, here you go. You're not
gonna be mad, yon man, I brun the flag. I'm
gonna take this latte and put it on the flag.
They look like, okay, Sir.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Christoph points to the twelve to fifteen mark. It says,
damn it, I'm at work. I can't play the game.
What was the twelve fifteen mark? It's a drinking game,
and the listeners, oh, the drinking game. When Karen says
at the Hornets game, y'all young young.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Con't getting taught then, because y'all know we're going to
the Huntings game. It's Honted season and I am your
Hornet's corresponding.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Fire stars for being a voice of reason, as to
why we do not have flying cars, says Randy pH Done,
thank you Ray guns me. This says. My anger is
a thousand. It comes to these feckless celebrities, pseudo democrats
who try to walk back their anti democracy opinions after
our lost. Charlemagne is the main one trying to tell
people that John Stewart needs to run for president. He
is silly heart emojis great pod. Yeah. And you know

(57:43):
what's crazy about that is, like I said, Charlemagne is
another motherfucker that will completely shit on the left when
it is a way to get attention. Some of the
worst quote unquote campaign pr messes have come from him.
It's hot sauce with Hillary Clinton, it's did you smoke weed?

(58:08):
And listen to Tupac for Kamala Harris. This is a
guy who he'd rather suit his own viral purposes for
his content than be any sort of person who's beholden
to some sort of political morality. So I don't even

(58:30):
like people Even going on that platform is such a
loss to me, because the best case scenario is that
you have a interview that ends up with people going
it was boring. Yep, that's the best case scenarios, you
get a boring interview, and the worst case scenarios, you
end up with some bullshit that doesn't actually affect anybody

(58:50):
or have any concerns of the issues, where people just
spend out day arguing over did you smoke weed or not?
Jason says to someone who still uses whacked up in home, y,
I don't feel qualified to speak on the black slang,
come bo. I do feel that basically your slang is
only as good as the rappers in your city. If
they're dope, that slang will go national. I do love
the idea of your slang being like your passport. People

(59:11):
could tell every place you've been by your greeting. I've
always been anti flying car, whose idea was let's turn
every car crash into a plane crash.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
We're taking it doing nothing on level no, thank you.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
The most annoying part about the John Stewart thing is
he is always chastising Dems for not being fighters. But
the main reason they can't be fighters he wants them
to be is because their whack ass voters will be like,
but they don't mean, they don't, but don't be mean
to my uncle, right right, that's the same thing with
de char Lamagne, like democrats need the cave. You're gonna
immediately turn like Lucy with the football. You will immediately

(59:46):
be like you weak, feckless bitch motherfuckers, And you wonder
why people don't vote for you, and when people and
when someone rightfully, if ever points out, but then you
say that you cave, He'll be like, I'm not a Democrat,
I don't run office. Like he's not a political strategist.
He's just a guy talking. The dude who shot his
girlfriend after cheating on her was wild. But the other day,

(01:00:08):
the day after I listened to the episode, I saw
the viral clip of Paul Pierce saying, if you want
to know if your woman loves you, you need to cheat
on her. Apparently this ninja took that grit gender war
jim to the next level. You gotta shoot at prison, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
We talked about that clip with Paul Piers on the
Boston Sports this week. Man, remember new media, Remember when
the athletes are gonna come and show us how sports
analysts should be talking about sports. And what we got
was a bunch of cheat on your woman while I
wear a house coate ass niggas shades on inside that

(01:00:43):
kind of shit? Have you ever used a government assistance program?
Oh wait, let me check the see if there's any
comments on this episode on Spotify. I forgot about that. Guys.
That's my bad, which apparently takes us second to load. Okay,
I'll see you over there. Spotify podcast is take your time.

(01:01:03):
Three comments? Okay, Glad I waited, Glad I waited? Okay,
one needs review? Okay, how do I How do I
review it? Published? Unread? All right? I don't know how
all right, I'll figure it out. Okay, But we are
combining slang Baltimore. Whole slang setup is both north and south. Also,

(01:01:25):
the south shorty is mixed everywhere. Uh kind of except
I would argue that the New York shorty is different
than the down South shorty.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
I can see that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Yeah, I argue that that it's used differently. C see
that politics says that politics till we get mad section flames,
thank you, thank you? Uh as me says hey, Rod
and Karen just wanted to pop in and say, I
actually had an epiphany while listening to John Stewart rant,
whiteness is a straight up coat, y'all love uh coat

(01:02:00):
y'all love, love you both, Thank you. Yeah, I agree,
it is a cult. You don't need to believe in that.
It's am Yeah, you don't gotta. You don't have to.
You don't have to believe in that. Man, Like it's
killing us. It's killing us all dying of whiteness. It's
a book missed a Spotify says your dad asked. Outside
of presenting good content, rod doesn't strike me as a

(01:02:22):
performer's type. Steven a voice, however, that walk down read
on John Stewart and others a like brother, bravo, my brother,
thank you. Try not to get into that bag too often,
to be honest, man, because I don't want the show
to just be rants or people tuning in. And I
don't honestly, I don't want to feel compelled to like

(01:02:44):
perform a rent every time y'all tune in, you know,
Like it's kind of like how the read is the read,
but the read means y'all got to do a read
or people gonna be like, what the fuck happened to
the show this week?

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Right, that's of the show.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Agreed, But man, sometimes dude, sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Like and sometimes it's Roger Can it's you a lot
like Karen.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Karen goes off all the time, but I try to
conserve it for like, yeah, I try not. I try,
especially like personalizing stuff. But man, you know, it was funny.
I was on Karen Hunter yesterday and she was talking
about how like I should run for office or something,
and I was like, I would never do it. And

(01:03:26):
the only reason I really wouldn't do it I don't
think it would be productive because I'm not gonna lie
and I'm not gonna change. I'll talk right, And maybe
that's pride. Maybe I should, you know, maybe that would
be helpful to people. But I mean, that's three thousand
episodes of me talking the way I talk. Man, I'm

(01:03:46):
I'm not fitting to get up here and start pulling
punches because the voters feeling is gonna be hurt because
I said some shit about whiteness or what. And I
already know it's a non starter. I know it's a
non starter. I wouldn't even waste your time. I wouldn't.
I wouldn't necessarily think a candidate that talked like I
talked would be good for America. I'd be like, ah,

(01:04:07):
that motherfuckers make way harder than it needs to be,
But there's a real this show could be a bigger show.
We could talk different you know, we could have a
different type of guest on. We can make it a
little safer to be kicking it with us, but we don't.
And that's the choice we made. So yeah, I I
But anyway, sometimes you just you gotta let the let

(01:04:31):
let the whole. It crystallizes in some moments or it's like,
this is my problem with what John Stewart's talking about.
And I think it's important to have those moments because
those type of people, like a John Stewart, like a
Bernie Saiders, they think they have the copyright and the
trademark on calling the rest of us out on shit,

(01:04:52):
and I'm just saying the street go two ways. You
got some shit, Okay, So you don't like some shit
about how other people get down. I don't like some
shit about your get down. Now what we're gonna do
because we still gotta work together. We're still on the
same side essentially. So I ain't going nowhere. You ain't
going nowhere. But just understand, like Brud, you ain't the

(01:05:13):
only one that feel looks around you and goes, damn.
We ain't all on the same page on this you
God damn right. We not right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
And I will forever say this. Everybody mad about something,
and everybody think their grievous is and whatever their complaints
is is the most important, but they fail to realize
that somebody else is mad about some other shit that
that you're not even considering.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Yep. And perhaps it's not a read, but the way
you broke down White boy in once again was a
digestible examination of how Ezra Klein Shultz rogan and the
lot of being backpaling and capitulating. Also, you can't spell
capitulate without cap because that's all it is. Hey, I
love that. That's that's a that's a bar. Appreciate that
one can't spell capitulate without cap Wow. All right, So

(01:05:57):
the Poe seventy yes have used a government assistance program,
twenty eight nine percent have not. That's our audience, dog, Like,
that's a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Yeah, And I wonder what the percentage would be? Not
fun if you would have been asked how many people
did it? And don't know? Like how many people like.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Well, the yeah, they don't know, right yet they.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Don't know, And you kind of almost want to take
them out, you know what I'm saying, because it's like.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
Yeah, I mean, the numbers are the numbers. But it's
interesting because I read a book Poorly Misunderstood, and one
of the things that covered was how the vast majority
of people in America at least have been on government
assistance at some point. Unfortunately, because of the stereotypes and
the stigmas that come with needing government assistance, A lot

(01:06:47):
of parents, and I know anecdotally my experience as a
black person, a lot of black parents who needed government
assistance hid it from their kids, meaning they were on foodstands,
but they wanted they it was a badge of honor
and pride to be like my kids never seen a
food stamp, like they never saw me pay for anything
with food stamp.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
I don't think you should be shamed in the hiding that.
I don't think there's any But that's America's head trip,
is that we make we make poverty of personal failing,
and we make prosperity a the you did that all
by yourself, That's how we do it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Everybody wants to be a self made billionaire, and everybody
was never poor or when they were poor or they
needed help. It was it was shameful because it meant
that I fucked up somehow, I did the wrong thing.
So all that to say, you're right, there's a lot
of people who've been on government assistances that just don't

(01:07:47):
know it's just for the pole.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
There's for the pole purposes. Yeah, I understand that a
lot of a lot of people, and some and out
of percentage of that people. And I know this is
kind of on a tangent. How many people found out
after like after they were grown at the house, right,
you know what you know something? Yeah, some people some
people may have known like when they were younger, their
parents were just upfront with them. But some people's you know,

(01:08:10):
talk to their parents. I was like, girl, yeah I
was on food step as I was, and they're like,
what I didn't know, you know type of things. So
they found out like as they were older type of thing,
because like you say, parents' job is to protect their
children and that's what they bless what they're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
All right, another break speaking of getting money, that's Dynamic

(01:08:58):
Soul by Infrared Cript. All right, let's get to the
next episode and the last one of the week, thirty
one eighty one, Burious George and the man in the
red hat. We had five comments at Janie says, or
maybe Jane Hey, Rod and Karen y'all are so right
about Blake Lively justin Justin Baldoni fallout. I was chilling

(01:09:21):
with one of my best friends from childhood the other
day and the controversy casually came up, and she literally
gave me a whole dissertation on while Blake Lively was
a piece of shit and Baldoni was defending himself against her,
she is on TikTok a lot, and I could tell
that's where her info was coming from when I told you,
I told her I was basing my conclusion on the
evidence in the court and the fact that his case
got thrown out, and she said she hadn't heard that.

(01:09:44):
After the whole fifteen plus minu in exchange, I thought,
damn that pr campaign really worked because typically my girl
would never see a man as the victim. But she
was completely convinced Lively was a horrible bitch. Shaking my head, listen,
misogyny to me worst than racism.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Because nobody think they're misogynistic.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
You find some people that will openly be like, yeah,
I'm a racist, Okay, fuck y'all. I don't like those blacks.
Almost everybody who is misogynistic because we're all affected by it, right,
we all have it. Almost all of them will will
tell you to your face no matter what their point
of view is. No, I love women, no Ah, they're

(01:10:30):
starch feminists who still have Some women hate Nash shit.
They in their veins and you can and there's never
a woman people aren't willing to believe. It's secretly just
a bit right, there's no woman on earth that people don't.
You don't have to float much for us to go woman.
That woman's a piece of shit, you know, It's it's

(01:10:53):
crazy to see and to what the The Justin Baldoni
thing to me is so crazy because he got caught
in four K literally weaponizing the public relations against her.
He got caught in four K.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
The documents out there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
It's the text messages from the hit the PR firm
he hired, and they have literal text messages like then,
these lives are working even better than we could have planned.
Who fucking knew? Damn this was easy? You know, same
thing that happened with Amber her. It's just motherfucker's just
willing to We like men no matter how bad boy

(01:11:37):
they get. We all got some soft spot for just men, like,
oh he's a bad boy, but he's so talented or whatever. Right,
we all want to be cool or around them, you know.
They we want to be friends with Johnny Depp. But
the women, there's a little bit of hate there, especially
the especially the ones that seem like they do got
it going on, Like like there's a thing with women

(01:11:58):
where the more buckable and sexually attractive they are, the
more there's like a latent sort of fuck that bitch.
She ain't gonna have that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
Real control over me from everybody on everybody's side. Yeah,
And a lot of men do that, and a lot
of women get jealous.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Yeah. And my listen, my argument isn't to paint her
as some sort of a saint. My point is you
don't gotta be a saint for what this man did
to be wrong. And how many courtrooms have to tell
y'all he's actually not telling the truth, or he's afraid
to fully lean into the evidentiary findings of this accusations

(01:12:39):
come out get tossed out. This man's getting his ass
kicked in court and it just don't matter because her
reputation has already been.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
Tarnished and that's what's more important.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
And it takes and the thing is it's not relevant
to the case, but people are used. That's why that
TikTok thing was so eye opening, because if you look
at the tiktoks, it don't be stuff that's relevant to
the case. The Amber Heard Johnny Depp documentary I watched
on Netflix was so good. It's three parts. It's so good.
I really think everyone should watch it. It's so good

(01:13:10):
because they don't just go into who's right, who's wrong, whatever.
They go into like the economy around hating, meaning it
was so much more lucrative to say anything negative about
her and your content than to say anything positive about
her or to say anything negative about Johnny Deppy. It

(01:13:32):
was actually you got more money and attention to say
she wasn't shit and to say not even to keep
in mind, not even to say something positive about Johnny Depp. Really,
like the incentive structure was shit on Amber heard then
say something nice about Johnny Depp, then say something mean

(01:13:54):
about Johnny Depp, and then lastly say something positive about Emberhard.
That was the harder. And when we're fed content with
your TikTok. Every time you turn it on, it's a
little switch in your brain. It's looking for that comment
that liked that interaction. All of a sudden your brain
starts warping to man, I ain't getting nowhere with this, Like, hey, man,

(01:14:18):
I think Amber heard is getting a bad deal. No,
because don't nobody want to talk to you about that traction.
But if you hop on there and be like Johnny
depth the man, man, these bitches be lying and you
see that little number go up. Now, look, maybe you
listening sound of my voice, you strong enough, you your
mind would never walk that way. You would see it
and go ah, morally, I feel bad. But there's a
lot of people that aren't. And a lot of those

(01:14:41):
people they by the end, Johnny Depp was taking pictures
of those people showing up to their podcast and shit
like it was. They got rewarded for that incentive structure,
and that's more important than the individual man versus woman.
What's the details of the case. Well, maybe they both
did shit. And you know, when somebody is in an
abusive relationship, the idea that they need to be a

(01:15:04):
hallmark card perfect victim is fucking us all up. Meaning
if if I was in this house abusing Karen and
it comes out Ride is accused of abusing Karen, and
I'm able to pull up a video of like, yeah,
but one time I came in the house and Karen

(01:15:25):
had cut my shoes up with scissors. There are people
who will be like, well, look, man, they're both bad people.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
Yes, they would, yes, and that those things aren't the same.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
Yes, and so that that's what they rely on, because
it's never neat, especially these long term abusive situations. It's
never neat, meaning victims could have left, they return. Sometimes
people accept the groveling that people do abuse. Yes, yeah,
we know all the steps, but we don't we have
not contextualized them into what they look like and how

(01:15:55):
that makes things blurry, right. It doesn't help that we
are dealing with messiness and human beings, and sometimes people
do work things out. Sometimes people have toxic relationships that
go for years. Sometimes it's both sides, sometimes it's one side.
But the fact that it's almost never in a long
term relationship just one hundred percent abuse all the time.
It just does something to people's brains on the outside

(01:16:17):
looking in like, well, then it must. I mean clearly
that must have been both of them, because I mean,
if you beat somebody for seven years, how can you
say it's bad. Tina Turner fought back and what's love
got to do with it? And that movie doesn't end
with some court case or him going to jail. That
movie ends with her essentially accepting that I'm not the

(01:16:37):
perfect victim and this is just my story and I
gotta live with At least I got my freedom, but
I'm never gonna this man will not pay any consequence
for this, really.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Right, and for most people, they.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Won't because I was on drugs, I was abusive to
other people within my life, and framework I hit him
back at one point. I'm not a perfect victim, and
when you go to court, that gets drug out and
that's enough for most of us sitting at home to
be like, I don't know, sound like Amber her was

(01:17:11):
drinking too, Uh sure, maybe she made some lines up,
who knows, Like that's how we end up so anyway,
uh that So my point is that pr campaign works,
and that that I don't think any of these men
will ever stop doing it, because why would you stop?
It's that easy everybody willing to believe somebody is a
woman is secretly little bit. It's just that easy, yep.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
And I feel like that about this case, and particularly
we ben't talk about black people. I feel like that
about making a stallion. I will about her because anytime
she's in a whole as different relationship with the whole
as another ass man. And every time I see her
posts it on line, somebody in the comments up underneath
the tweak the post or whatever it says something about

(01:17:55):
she lying, she bitch, she don't love him.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
Another by the way, another person for example of that
social media hire.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
Yeah, and in court case shit came out. It was
like he was paying and she said she was like
he paying people, y'all like this is some booy like
this right like, and she said it way before this
shit came out. She was like, this don't make no sense.
It's a campaign to get me. And she was right, yep.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
And it just don't seem no matter it don't they's
still going.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
She aligned ass bitch who shot herself.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
Apparently they all on us to want to hate these women.
It's so easy. And once again, listens, listen to the
things we're saying I'm not telling y'all these are perfect people.
I'm not saying this impossible. Every time you have accusation,
it's true. I'm just saying, in these situations, we know
the playbook and it clearly works. Apple says, maybe George

(01:18:46):
wants to run himself. I guess talking about George uh cloney, maybe,
I don't know. I doubt it. I feel like he's
a rich, famous white man and he'll be fine. Ed says,
I don't believe anything will come in this heritage found
in fighting, because, as it's been proven time and time again,
they will all get on board when it's time to
vote people's right rights away. Agree. Kid Rock is trying

(01:19:08):
to hold onto the relevancy so hard for people who
don't really care about his music. If his music was
so great, why doesn't Dump ever play his music at
any event? Because it sucks. Kid Rock is the human
embodiment of a wet fart. I need Nikki to back
away from the yo. Yeah, yeah, it's funny. Kid Rock
is the human embodiment of a wet fart, and a
lot of times wet fart. That's what you get out

(01:19:29):
to eat. State Nuggets from Marvey's Sean says, I didn't
know using the R world was such a big deal.
If someone is being complete igit, I tell them stop
being such a Republican all the time. Guess I have
to stop saying that now. You know what's so funny
is there's a common ground that was there for a
lot of these like I'm mad that the liberals are

(01:19:51):
policing our language and I feel like I can't say anything.
There was a time when people were over correcting the
speak and speech nerds were really getting into it, and
the nerdy nerds were all on Twitter and TikTok and
shit and what's actually more is tumbler back then, not TikTok,
but they were all doing this like we're gonna sanitize

(01:20:12):
every single fucking word. And I remember I love word
playing and thinking about words. But I remember on our show,
like the big thing I kept saying was like the
thing everyone keeps running away from by trying to turn
things different is the stigma. Yes, but it's nine you're
not changing the underlying stigma. What you're doing is you're
like going into a new room that isn't as stinky

(01:20:37):
as the room you just left, but you're bringing the
trash in with you, and it will slowly fill with stink.
The new word will be the trash meaning. So it's
like I always go to this example, right coming out
of slavery. Don't call us the N word, okay, which
I want to be called. You can call us colored. Okay, cool, y'all,

(01:21:01):
color people. Cool sounds sounds good to me. We'll call
you color. Get your colored ass out of my bathroom
and go to the colored bathroom. Your colored motherfucker. Whoa, whoa,
it's even worse than an inward colored.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
No, don't call me colored. I don't know. That's racist.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
You got colored sections. The colors only know. I tell
you what. I'll tell you what. Well, what would you
like to call it? Let's go with negro. Okay, I'm
not an N word, not colored. I'm negro means black
and Spanish negro, all right, no problem, listen, nigro. Whoa,
that's not even how you say it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:41):
That's not even that's not how you pronounce it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
If y'all don't get your own nigros, okay, you know
what that's you can't you clearly can't handle that. You
can't handle that. I feel the way the way you
say it, that's the way you said. I don't like
the way you saying it, so intent matters. Let's go
with African American. My people originally from Africa, but I
am an American. Other people go Italian American. Let's just

(01:22:07):
go with that. I'm African American. Okay, cool, African American,
no problem. Let me ask you this, Uh, why don't
you go back to Africa since you're so African African American?

Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
No, this is my country. Go back to where you
came from. You said you come from Africa. Okay, clearly
this has confused you because that's racist. I'm as American
as you are. You know what, black, I'm black. There
we go black. It's a it's a color fashion. You
understand that. Black black panthers say it loud. Black. I'm

(01:22:43):
a proud black pride.

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

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Can we just do black? Fine? Yeah, sure we can
do black. I saw too, black guy swalking down the
street that needs black gentsmen. Man made me want to
cross the street because you never know what's going off.
To walk in the store the other and I was
looking around the neighborhood kind of blurking. Here, you know what,
I'm saying, yeah, you met my friend. Have you met

(01:23:08):
my friend John? Okay, Yeah, he's a cool guy. Man,
I'm gonna have him come over now, listen, he is.
So you're running from a stigma. So there was a
time where there was common ground in the like, yo,
you know what, we're getting really precious about words. But
we're not changing shit, you know, we're not. It's when
people make a big deal out of houseless versus homeless.

(01:23:31):
If I'm living on the street and there's three degrees,
I'm gonna be honest. The vernaculars not it don't. That's
not the problem for me.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
The problem is that I have nowhere to live.

Speaker 2 (01:23:40):
The city's not doing anything about homelessness or houselessness, right
either phrase both ways. I promise I could give.

Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
A fuck if I need the assistance right Like.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
It's like, I feel like that's the liberal version of
just of let's argue about this because we're not gonna
fix the problem. It's like, hey, hey, I live in
San Francisco and we have a big homelessness problem. I
walked down the street and I saw this homeless guy. Hey, hey,
check whoa We don't say that anymore? What what what

(01:24:14):
we don't say. What did I say wrong? He was
a homeless gentleman. I stepped over him and he was
asking for money. I said no, and now stepped over. No,
you did the wrong thing there chat. You stepped over
a houseless guy. Okay, you don't give money to the houseless.

(01:24:34):
That's what we do. We're walking right by him and
you just step right over him. Okay, you don't. Don't
look him in the eye, you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
You don't know house. They would give them assistance.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
But you're that's fucked up. You said homeless though, buddy, right, Like,
that's the that's the level of problem Solverere we're at.
We were at on the internet for a moment where
it was just well, you know, I can't don't call
people stupid like I remember that was. I was like,
you're not gonna make that happen.

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
Oh you're not, because I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Well, sometimes you see a stupid motherfucking They just stupid
And I don't care about the trauma of the house
or what they grown. Now they're a dog and they
acting stupid. I didn't go in your house when you
was six and call you stupid. You forty six acting stupid.
You stupid? Now, you just stupid? Ain't Now. If I
was talking to a five year old who was like, Mama,

(01:25:21):
what is this, I wouldn't call that kid stupid because
I'm fucking a human being.

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
But they're growing in their learning.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
But let's be honest, dogs, it's some stupid motherfuckers out here.
You know, Oh, don't say idiot, don't say you know
so I do. There was a time where I think
all these guys who were like the R word, I
want to say it, they had a point where it
was like, oh, yeah, we're really trying to find we're
over policing language in a way that's kind of getting ridiculous.

(01:25:50):
But you know what you do about that, especially when
you're a comedian, You make jokes.

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
That's what you do.

Speaker 2 (01:25:55):
You make jokes from the common ground. We all were
willing to laugh about it. We'll find a way to go. Yeah,
I see what you mean. Yeah, you're right, houseless homeless.
If I'm driving by you at the stoplight, I'm not
giving you money. Who gives a fuck what I said.
I'm not a good person because I said no, it's houseless.
You know, like if you go to the stop like

(01:26:18):
you see a guy with a sign is like homeless
need twenty dollars, and you go, oh, put out Sharpie's
correct that spelling. It's houseless. You put homeless on your sign.
It's houseless. Okay, can you spec some change? Oh no,
excuse me, no, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
In fact, give him my sharp back.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
Yeah and uh nine one one? Can you come home?
I'm saw houseless? Gentlemen, can you get him off on street?
Like that's America? Trey says, Hey Rider Karen on George Clooney,
I just want to say, fuck him, oh forever. He
can go to hell for the matter of charming cruelty.
He has unleased on harm and cruelty. I said charm,
harm and cruelty. He has unleased on innocent people. Here
is a sabatory of the biggest kind. He is an

(01:26:59):
extremely selfish man who needs to get over himself. Also,
what it comes down to me as it relates to
Clone and all the sabators on the lefts at the
end of the day, it just feels like they just
didn't like Joe or Kamala in the ending, like that's it.
The saboteurs of them fucked the whole country because they
didn't like Joe or Kamala, not because he was older, stuttered,

(01:27:21):
or had a bad debate, or her laugh or how
she ran a campaign. They just didn't like either one
of them. And that's just insane to me. And that's
the undercurrent to all this. Bro. I feel like this
validates how I felt. Man. The results validated it honestly,
because I mean, the only hang up I had with
it was I don't believe y'all, Right, I solve the problem.

(01:27:46):
I'm not stupid. I watched the fucking debate, and I
came out of that debate feeling very troubled. Not troubled
with about my vote. I felt troubled about the rest
of these folks vote. It's a group project, and I said, oh, man,
they're gonna be like, I don't know if we should run.
Joe he was stuttering, he was fucking up in that debate,
and he was fucking up. Like, I'm not gonna lie

(01:28:08):
to y'all. I feel like I have to be honest.

Speaker 1 (01:28:11):
I watched it. I felt I.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
Know, yeah, I know, but it's important because.

Speaker 1 (01:28:16):
Yeah, you actually saw it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
I watched it, and it's different than just the theory
of it. You do watch it and go ooh. I
felt something in the pit of my stomach like, oh god, no,
this is a bad night. This is a bad But
from that point on, I was like, Okay, well, what
are we gonna do here? Because I am completely fine

(01:28:40):
still voting for this man, I know what the fuck
I'm doing right, And it became a like I don't
know he gonna lose. I don't know. We gotta get
someone else in there. Okay, what if it's Kamala. I mean,
we can't have a primary. Hey, man, we don't got time,
and you know we don't got time, so fucking around,
why are you talking about it being a primary? Even

(01:29:02):
if you were gonna do a primary. She has the
leg up on all the opponents, and she's.

Speaker 1 (01:29:07):
The only one that can get access to the money.

Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
Right, she has the leg up on every single opponent,
and legally it will be tested by Republicans and go
to the Supreme Court. If say, Gretchen Whitmer wins a
primary that a slap dash put together and then she's like,
I need money to the access to the funds for
Joe Biden and they're like, no, that's the Kamala Harris,
Joe Biden campaign fund You not the Gretchen Whitmer campaign.

(01:29:32):
You did not run on those funds. You did not
raise those funds. You may not have those funds, right,
So we knew that was a quagmar they didn't want
to get into. And another thing we just need to
put out real quick because this has become important. Not
the distinction that doesn't ever get brought up. Kamala Harris
raised the most money of all time ever for any
candidate from that point on period. That is a fact.

(01:29:54):
So when people try to tell you no one was enthusiastic,
she had the most turnout, she had the most volunteers.
Fuck you. She was a great candidate. So fuck George
Cooney for that, because the idea of like, well, I
mean the problem is, you know, you got to run
with Kamala Harris. That I remember he wrote something later
to say like, yeah, Kamala Harris, that's what's up. We
did the right thing, shout out to her for statement

(01:30:16):
standing up, we behind you, and then here you come
months later. Well clearly that was a mistake. Fuck you bitch.

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
And my thing about the people that wanted a primary,
the other people didn't want the primary, and what's insulting
to the other candidates. They knew that it was dumb,
so immediately it was like, oh, I'm out, I'm out,
I'm out, Like immediately, all of them with you the name,
So y'all wanted something that even the candidates was like,

(01:30:45):
I don't want to do this, but y'all kept tossing
their names out there like the shit was going to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
They knew they would lose at at worst. Now that
just a person that lost the primary. And now if
they ever want to run for president, they got that
loser stink on them.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
Oh, and it had been political suicide.

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
Right, So you're gonna lose it worst and at best
you win, right you. Now you fractured some of the
Democratic base because it's like black women will fill one
hundred percent betrayed and should so.

Speaker 1 (01:31:12):
You lose that trying to skip over us, Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (01:31:16):
And then lastly the other party that no one talks about. Okay,
you could have did that and still could have lost.
Then what right, So let's say Gavin an extra bag,
Gavin newsoon wins the primary, makes it to the general,
lose it to Trump. Now what you know what y'all
be doing? George cooeon be doing an interview, maybe we
should have ran Kamla Harris, Yes, maybe we should have

(01:31:37):
kept Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (01:31:38):
You're not consistent. And that's the problem that I have.
You're not consistent because no matter and and and even
with him saying about Kamala, you're saying it after the fact,
like you said it's that money Monday morning quarterback, and
you saying after the results are in, said with your chest,
I will vote. I would have voted for Joe. I
voted for Kamala. And the thing is because whiteness, Tim

(01:32:03):
don't care about nobody else. When you turn around and
you say skip over her, is very insulting to people
going if it would have been a white man or
even a white woman, wild y'all have said this same thing,
would not everybody, But would some of these people be
so adamant about not her. That's the problem I have.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
He also says the world, the whole world, not to
the US, is now fucked because you just didn't like
these two people. So for all just to say fuck
Clooney for life, rid of Karen. Thank you again, Trey,
appreciate the tray. I agree with you. I agree with
you and be honest. Let's check the comments on So
I fucked up. I somehow hit the record buttons the

(01:32:46):
opposite way then there was supposed to be, and so
I ended up only recording the part of the show
that was me playing music at the beginning, and none
of the actual show. Oh no, so I had turned
the audio into a still shot video to post it
on YouTube. So there is no video of this episode.

(01:33:08):
If you guys are going to look for it, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:33:10):
Okay, that's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
So here's the comments that you guys get left on YouTube.
An ad, Karen, why would you do this to us?
Every ad was about Bernie Sanders. I wish he would
slow sit down. So many ads. I paid not to
have ads on YouTube and found this too much. What
the okay? So oh I used a program? What was
the program? The fuck was the program? Goddamn? I can't

(01:33:39):
remember the name of the program I use. But I
used the program that turns it into audio. All I
do is put the picture up and it's like download
the video that turns the audio to the video.

Speaker 1 (01:33:52):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:33:55):
I don't know where any extra ads would have come in,
so I guess this happened because we didn't have the video.
So maybe they added ads to my video, probably because
I don't know, probably because it wasn't the standard video
like like if you probably would if it would have
been like your regular video, commercials probably wouldn't be. I
just I just learned something new. Headliner is the name

(01:34:18):
of the app. I did not know it adds these
extra ads in because I'm not paying for anything premium
over there. Maybe you have to pay for some other
level to be like, don't put ads in my ship.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
Or something through that application. Yeah, because you just go
straight through YouTube, and you know if you pay the
extra money YouTube, but like, okay, you don't have you
don't do commercials, so I'm not gonna put commercials in there.
But but when you use something separate, YouTube is like, hey,
this is not our ship, so we're gonna throw commercials
in there.

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
Yeah. I'm trying to autos ad auto post videos and YouTube.
I'm trying to see if it says anything on here
about ads. But anyway, I'm sorry, guys, I truly didn't
know this happened.

Speaker 1 (01:35:02):
We didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
Yeah, I guess I'll know next time. Remember, I have
to find some other way to turn it in a
video because I don't know how to do that on
my own, guys, if I'm being honest with y'all, and
I'm sure there's some way, but I'm not that technical,
technically savvy with some of these things. So yeah, I
guess it must be putting extra ads in. Okay, learn

(01:35:25):
something new, let us know. Let's see, I'm very used
to seeing y'all faces. I can't do this. And why
are there ads on here? Said the girl on the
other side of the row. Oh my ads on my
YouTube premium Woo child to ghetto just playing. I still
love rid of Care Tip of Life. Yeah, I'm sorry, y'all.
So next time, let me ask y'all YouTubers, next time

(01:35:46):
leave comments on this next episode, would y'all prefer me
to if this happens in the future, just don't even
post the audio out there then, since it's gonna possibly
be filled with all these extra ads because I'm okay,
Like I almost didn't put I was like, sorry, YouTube,
I fucked up. It doesn't happen often, obviously, but if
it happens again, like, I don't want you all to
have to go through a bunch of extra ads and

(01:36:08):
shit just right. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
Yeah, And I know sometimes YouTube can get egregeous with them.
It does. It does sometimes depend on how it's chopped
up and how long it is, because I watch you
Tube you know a lot, you know, cause getting for animation,
just animation and stuff like that, like to see what
you know, what's coming out and all that stuff. And
sometimes it's like every five minutes, sometimes like every like

(01:36:35):
it just varies depend on the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
But this sounds like even when people paid for premium,
they was getting asked. So I don't think it's something else.
I think they added ads to the audio. H Do
anybody care about what George? How you think?

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
Hell?

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
No, says Peters. Michael Jason says Niggy supporting Oh Rod,
I said the same thing. Let's hear him out at
the one sixteen forty two mark, What did I say?
And a store clerk for making his pizza with no gloves?
Oh yeah, yeah, gotta hear him out. Gotta hear him out.
Can't be making a piece with no gloves. Maybe you
gotta shoot somebody. Nikki supporting Trump is unsurprised and says Jason.

(01:37:07):
I think like I think. J L says the platform
of Maggi's a grievance. You'll be hard pressed to find
people who feel more aggrieved than old Nikki with all
Black Maga. You can basically make it a game show
grift or grievance. Rick Ross's performing for Maggi is clearly
a grift. Where I do disagree is I have no
reason to believe Trump wouldn't pardon her predator, her husband.

(01:37:28):
That's what he do. Maybe, man, I don't know, like
I was making a joke. Honestly, I wasn't being serious
when I was like, he's not gonna part your husband.
I thought that Jason would understood that I was trying
to be funny. But Oka and Nigga's on words. They
both motherfucking monsters. If someone wants to say it was

(01:37:52):
a mistake to ron KAMMLA because we truly underestimated how
racism misogynistic the country is, I'll listen to that argument.
Anything other than that, you're just talking any negative energy
director that any potential twenty twenty eight candidate needs to
be stopped out, except Stephen Ay, of course, stop him out.
That story about the mother who did the monkey that
monkey with like Ricky was wild. You could almost say

(01:38:15):
it was bananas QCSI music. I like that you wrote
to que the CSI music for yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:38:28):
I ain't. I'll see myself out the room.

Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
Those monkey should have split part of me wishes it
took place in the same country, a county as the
mixed sheriff, because the jokes would have been coming. But
once I found out she was black, I realized we
probably need to keep him far away from many monkey jokes.
Come on, yeah, we do.

Speaker 1 (01:38:49):
We don't want them problems.

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
JJ smile says right, I love that you be getting
white people mixed up. Gutfille is the comedian, not Waters. No,
that's the thing. I'm not mixed up on this. Go
look it up. Water started as a comic. His uh,
Jesse Waters used to have like these very unfunny segments

(01:39:16):
and he just before he made his pivot into trying
to be like a Tucker Carlson type. Okay, but it
started with him doing like these these pranks and just
I mean, none of them were funny. It was so
it was so bad because honestly, those type of punch

(01:39:40):
down jokes are not funny. They're just not funny. And
he used to have this thing called waters World, that
he would do some of these like weird ambush interview
things and it just wouldn't work because like the ambush stuff,
it's better with mean people where it's like, hey, uh,

(01:40:05):
do you like Obamacare? No forck Obama forck Obamacare? Okay,
no problem, what about the Affordable Care Act? Well that
sounds good, that's the joke. They didn't know the difference
that that and they were being mean and it's the
hypocritical and we're laughing at them. This ship is like, uh,
do you think black lives matter? Well, yes, I actually do.
Wrong where the fucking idiot? It just don't hit the

(01:40:29):
same But yeah, he did start. Yeah, like he had
a segment that was nine years ago. It's called Chinatown.

Speaker 1 (01:40:38):
Oh no, that sounds racist.

Speaker 2 (01:40:40):
Yeah, I know you said that.

Speaker 1 (01:40:42):
I was like, oh no, it's something between him saying
Chinatown and Chinatown and New York.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
Yeah. Friend, now you're right. Sometimes I do be confusing
white people. Actually in this episode, I'm pretty sure I
confused with white people.

Speaker 1 (01:40:52):
I did.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
But like, let me see if this will show y'all,
is this gonna is this showing YouTube at all?

Speaker 1 (01:40:59):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:40:59):
Okay, so this is the this is the segment Chinatown.

Speaker 1 (01:41:05):
Oh there was that New York's Chinatown. Am I supposed
to bow to say hello?

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
Did you know karate in my hand?

Speaker 1 (01:41:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:41:17):
That's the spot Trump has been beating up on China.

Speaker 1 (01:41:21):
How does that make you feel?

Speaker 2 (01:41:25):
She doesn't speak Donald, she doesn't speak English, so they're
making fun of her not speaking English. This is before
he was the guy he rebranded himself.

Speaker 1 (01:41:33):
As beating up on China at the debate.

Speaker 2 (01:41:42):
So that he's trying to make it look them look stupid,
to be like, look this this Asian person. They too
stupid than now, right, That's how he got to start.
So yeah, it's not gut feel. It's Jesse Water that
acsolutely absolutely had this one right. So I guess people
it's been long enough that people forgot or don't know. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:42:02):
Yeah, but there's nine years and in the way the
internet and everything. Who fast, that's that's that's ancient history.

Speaker 2 (01:42:09):
Yeah so all right, back to the comments.

Speaker 1 (01:42:12):
Did not know that?

Speaker 2 (01:42:14):
M hm? But and Sharon Stone was in basic instinct
not Kim Bason, girl. I think we got that one fixed.
But yeah, I definitely take that lol. Peak Barbara Howards
from Abbe Elementary yeah, for sure, I'll give you that
second one for one hundred percent. I got wrong, But
Jesse Waters used to be like a comedic, uh prank

(01:42:39):
type of almost guy, and then of course made the transition.
It was like, you know what, this ain't getting hits,
which is funny because gut Field, from my understanding, started
out in journalism. Why became the comedian guy?

Speaker 1 (01:42:54):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
Did you vote in this election? Was the Oh wait,
let me check comments on Spotify as well, and then
we'll get to the pole results, which I think the
question was did you vote in this election? Let's see. Okay,
so we got four comments, Let's check these bad boys
out real talk. Fuck George Clooney says soul power. Patrina

(01:43:16):
says George. This is what happens when you think you
know politics. Joe Biden knew that people wanted to replace
his VP, but he didn't let that happen. He did
not and they still trying to make it his fault too.

Speaker 1 (01:43:27):
But they never wanted her. They never wanted him.

Speaker 2 (01:43:30):
Big Bunny said the fact that Mississippi, Mississippi took care
of the disease ridden monkeys. I love my people, L
O L. Where's the CSI music. During the Monkey Pawns,
I was fighting tears. Another great episode the door you guys,
thanks dig buddy, And I just didn't do the monkey tip.
I mean I didn't have uh, I didn't have a
plan to hit the CSI music, but I was I

(01:43:51):
was like, I don't know, let's get them off as
fast as possible. I have some ship to do. Lastly,
ninety nine dreams I had says, I just realized Nicki's
Trump praised is especially discussing because this administration is bombing
votes in the Caribbean and has killed twenty citizens.

Speaker 1 (01:44:09):
Yeah, they just blowing people up into whatever. Like that's
a regular ass fisherman like the people of the other nation.
It's like, hey, dog Dick, that's old man Simpson. He
actually fishes every day because this is a great time
to fish, you.

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
For the market in the morning and they're like, fuck
you in your vote.

Speaker 2 (01:44:25):
Boom, did you vote in this election? Yes? No? Or
there wasn't an election for me to vote it at
this time, six sixty percent said yes, thirty seven percent
did not have an election to vote in. The three
percent said no they didn't, So shout out to y'all.
For being such active participants in democracy or wherever you're

(01:44:46):
allowed to vote at. That's huge, and I appreciate y'all,
man y'all doing yall parts. And I'm glad we have
a motivated audience that's putting that thumb on the scales.
We're not just talking to, you know, to the win.

Speaker 1 (01:44:59):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:44:59):
All right, let's go to the last segment, because we
had no voicemails, but we do have a lot of emails.

Speaker 1 (01:45:10):
It's like like he is saying yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:45:43):
All right. The first one is from Elise, who says, Clooney,
I'm gonna just leave us right here. He says he
doesn't want to address Hunter Biden, but because he doesn't
believe in going backwards and things, it's not helpful to
the Democratic Party. But yeah, let's revisit the Black Lady
as being the mistake. Shut up, George all the way
to fuck up politics till we get mad. And I'm
already pissed than le Michelle says, greetings riding Karen, Uncle

(01:46:07):
John Epp thirty one eighty. I've been waiting for someone
to go out on John Stewart. He been on my
shit list since I heard about the riff between him
and why it is and that every black person remember that.
I just think he is getting by making smug faces
of observation that anyone can find on threads or TikTok.
I do appreciate what he did for the first responders,
but he needs to be term limited, like all those
folks in washing in Congress. Yeah, you know, that is interesting.

(01:46:30):
That is interesting because we we do make a lot
of commentary and jokes about old people needing to give
it up. A lot of people, do you know, especially politicians,
there's a lot of like, take your old ass and
get the fuck out of here. I'm not one of
these people. I just want you all to know I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:46:49):
I know, if you want it, take it out of
my cold old ass hands, take it.

Speaker 2 (01:46:53):
Yeah, I'm not. I'm I'm just not one of these people.
It's not even uh. I just feel like, if you
can do the job, I don't really give a fuck
what your ages agreed, do a good job and we
could cook. I'm not looking at I think there are
people who are young who are feckless and not worth
it and doing bad jobs, and I wouldn't be like, well,

(01:47:15):
at least they young I'd be like, they should get
the fuck out. They're not doing a good job, right,
That's how I feel. And with all these politicians, motherfucker,
you can primary them, you can run against them. Tired
of y'all complaining, and then y'all don't do shit.

Speaker 1 (01:47:29):
Nope.

Speaker 2 (01:47:29):
If you think Nancy Pelosi is the goddamn devil, you
should probably go run somebody in her district against her,
because votes are votes. Money can't stop the votes. The
votes are the votes. If you have enough people, Mom
Donnie proved this, that's what y'all should be taking from
Mom Donnie. Not this. Oh the Democrats. Uh well, if
the Democrats all lined up on the wrong side and

(01:47:50):
they got it wrong, guess who won, Mom Donnie won,
Guess who are all endorsing him a week out from
the election when they knew he was gonna win. Democrats,
make the Democrats do whatever the fuck you want them
to do. If you just go vote, I guarantee it
they will. They'll respond to that vote because nobody wants
to lose office. So you just be like, hey, nah,
we we're voting for this guy because we actually want

(01:48:13):
these policies, not the ones you're talking about. And guess
what next time they'll have those policies. It's Bernie saying
there's minimum rade minimum wage fifteen dollars sounds good to me.
Fuck it, you started with people, well, not fifteen, maybe twelve,
and everybody's like fifteen, right, shit, I mean, if Bernie's
kicking my ass in those polls, then yes, fifteen. That easy.
Take the issue off the table. Anyway. It's just weird

(01:48:36):
because John Stewart's twenty sixty two David Show supposed to
be a young person program, supposed to be Trevor Noah
was doing it for a while, he ends up leaving.
You got to cavlocate of younger people who could do this, right.
Even Voywood Junior compared to John Stewart is younger, Yes
he is. I think Void might be like forty five ish,

(01:48:59):
forty seven, maybe forty two. He I think he's in
his forties. Let me look up his age. But but
the point being, like, okay, he's forty six, so boy
is forty six. John Stewart is sixty two. Where's the
John Stewart take your old ass home? Shit? Because this
is entertainment meaning eighty two as a politician is old

(01:49:24):
but eighty two is a politician, is sixty two in entertainment?
Like you could give it up? You rich already, you
done got everything. Yeah, you ain't really adding that new
to the conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:49:35):
You only doing it once a week.

Speaker 2 (01:49:36):
You only working once a week, right, But nobody's saying
take your old ass home. It's just funny anyway, John
needs to retire to Daily Show, mister Mark by not
giving Wordwood Junior or Josh Johnson the job. Yeah, the
fact that they didn't go with a younger person tells
you pretty much everything. Zoe writes in from the Back

(01:49:57):
Look Cinema podcast just as a reminder to us to
let people know our two hundredth we were featured on
his two hundredth episode. The episode was about Star Wars.
Backlook Cinema is where we like him, Zoe and his
guest or sometimes by himself or whatever, they take a

(01:50:18):
look at old movies and break down like how they
were made, behind the scenes stuff. We always have a
good time on there. We always know having to do
a lot of reading when we go on there. It's
always like read this, read that, But we always have
a good time once we get to just talking about
movies and Star Wars, of course, is what Karen and
I is some of our favorite movies. Yes, it is,

(01:50:39):
so if you guys want to check that out, you
should definitely check it out. It's out this week. It's
already out. It's back Look Cinema. And he sent this
letter They're riding. Karen, My two hundredth episode with you
will be released tomorrow. If you can spread the word
about this momentous occasion, I greatly appreciate it. Thank you
so much for making this episode happen. The both of

(01:50:59):
you injected much more energy and excitement into the show
than I could have possibly done on my own. And
you Rod in particular, really saved the show using your
years of experience and technical know how to get around
the issues that we were having. We were dealing with
difficulties that I hadn't even encountered before. Yeah, we had
something happened with the recording website he was using, and

(01:51:21):
I asked him, I said, do you want me to
record on my end? Just in case? And you know,
I know that always comes off a little weird because
like people, most of the time, other podcasters will say no.
And I don't blame I mean it happens. I'm at
the point now I've done this so many times and
I'm like, I'm recording the shit. But and if someone goes,
can I record, Yes, please.

Speaker 1 (01:51:43):
Recording, because child, you need to back up to the backup,
to the backup, best case scenario.

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
I go, we don't need to record and everything worked out,
worst case scenario. Please send me that recording.

Speaker 1 (01:51:53):
Right, I already had three copies, didn't know copies.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
So anyway, I recorded it because of all my you
know experience, and you know, look, I remember we did
the last time we did the Spare report. Whatever was
happening with the recording, either the side or the something
went wrong and we lost the whole episode. It just
could I mean we stayed for a couple of hours

(01:52:17):
trying to get it to work, and it just couldn't
work and it wasn't usable, and I think it never
came out. So this is just what podcasting is. If
you've been podcasting long enough, you had this happen.

Speaker 1 (01:52:28):
Yeah, you've lost episodes, You've had to re record episodes. Yeah,
one time we had then this man years ago, because
we've been live for a long time. One time, I
think it was me you and Justin we actually recorded
halfway through the show. It was like, oh shit, I'm
not recording, So we literally just re recorded with the
live orders and made jokes about the jokes that a
lot of people gonna get unless you with their live Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:52:48):
Shout out to the chat room. Thanks for letting me
know borrow your politics that we get mad segment. That
was a lot of fun. Anyways, here's some politics that
you can use to promote the show, I mean some
pictures you can use to promote the show. If you
have time. I'll look forward to having back on. Thanks Buddy,
kim Wright saying election day voter suppression. Support of what
Karen always says and I always agree with her on

(01:53:10):
And it was threats targeting Poland location, New Jersey. Yeah,
we talked about that came from Russia, by the way,
God stopping new Flash. It came out the next day.
It was Russian interference, a lot of Russian emails and
shit targeting, bomb threats. Okay, welcome to the cookout. Chris
Right saying, hey rider Kroll of the show. Also no

(01:53:33):
longer emailing you from my hotmail account. It was given
Nigeria scammer vibes, but I digress. I would like to
nominate Lizzie to be invited to the cookout. In fact,
she is the cookout. Here's a recommendation. All right, you
know what, I'll save it in the cookout folder. We'll
take a look at it during the episode where we

(01:53:54):
do the next cookout saving because i'mna be honest, it's
kind of hard to find a lot candidates right now.

Speaker 1 (01:54:01):
Right now, it's kind of cookout.

Speaker 2 (01:54:04):
Folders running a little.

Speaker 1 (01:54:05):
Try getting to the bottle barrow.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
Ever, since targeting and everyone back out of d y,
we has a few mckenzy Bezos is just circling the
block on these motherfuckers at this point, ain't she? Ain't
she double mapping it a party of one in the.

Speaker 1 (01:54:19):
Cookout she was like, oh, I'm back again.

Speaker 2 (01:54:21):
She has her own wings, her own building. Yes, she
dies at the HBCU. She has her own site, science wing.

Speaker 1 (01:54:29):
All just so you fucking around. I bet I bet
you that bitch gonna have a building after herself, right
at least says this is Amazon building.

Speaker 2 (01:54:38):
Lei says, Hey, Rod and Karen Man, Tuesday night was
super dope. For the first time in the year, I
went to bed with a smile on my face and
woke up the same way. First the governorship in Va,
then Jersey, then Zoron and the words of Martin Paine.
Woo woo woo. When I found when I found out
something I didn't know. There were three black women who
were running from mayor Detroit, Albany, the Capitol of and

(01:55:00):
y Ass and Syracuse and they all fucking won. Charlie
Kirk must be rolling, swirling and twirling in his grave,
laughing my ass off. The cherry on top was Prop
ninety in California coming through Lord of Mercy, look at God. Yeah,
I think I thought it was Prop fifty. But whatever
it is, they gonna get that. Uh, they doing that
that redistrict.

Speaker 1 (01:55:17):
Yeah, and I appreciate the voters actually supporting because, like
you saying, when you make big proclamations like that, and
that ship would have flopped, they would have been on
his ass.

Speaker 2 (01:55:27):
And Virginia's redistrict into They got a plan too, like yeah,
all the states need to do it. That can do it.

Speaker 1 (01:55:33):
And it's one of those things where the Democrat the
Republicans started it. Nobody even would have considered it until
y'all was like, bitch, we gona cheat.

Speaker 2 (01:55:40):
Y'all broke the norms. Let's break them back, right. You're
not gonna You're gonna not gonna out norm this. You
gotta fight back now. I think the last chance we
had a just normalization was honestly, Joe Biden. I think
he was the last desperate gas for a lot of
us who were like, maybe if we just can get
this country back to we don't need to constantly be

(01:56:02):
fucking fighting. We have a president who cares about all
of us, who wants the best for all of us.
Let's just do this. We know the right things to do.
And they said they rejected that wholeheartedly, and they said,
when we get power, we're gonna only use it absolutely totalitarian,
like and uh yeah, okay, the game on, bitch, let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:56:22):
And it's also his name is Mandani. If I'm pronouncing,
is that how you pronounce it? Yeah? And also I
don't think they like him because his whole staff, if
I'm not mistaken, it's all women, and a lot of
these women are like targets for the Republicans because a
lot of them don't like those women, Like a lot
of those women are like, hey, dog, I'm gonna be
on y'all asses, y'all gonna follow the rules, y'all gonna

(01:56:43):
follow the regulations. Like and it's a lot of brown
women too, Like you know what I'm saying. He got
all colors women, but it's a lot of brown women,
and they don't like That's why they're coming out and
just and just acting the food because it's rare that
the candidate has an all female staff, honestly, like like
the top level, like like not people report like the
top level. So a lot of them they don't like
him because he brown. They don't like he bringing all

(01:57:05):
these women in there, which means all these men got
listen to these women tell them what the fuck to
do when shit happens in the city. And honestly, I
think that's why it's a lot of backlash from a
lot of people.

Speaker 2 (01:57:15):
And it's just one of the reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:57:17):
Yeah, that's one of the reasons why why it's a
bunch of reason why you see particularly in the media
and like you say that what happens in New York, no,
it does not affect us, but because the way the
media reports New York, like New York is the only
city in the country, you end up hearing about it.

Speaker 2 (01:57:32):
And just when I thought things couldn't get any better,
I read into John Oliver on my way to work
and he was stoked about the election results too. Man.
I worked in the same fucking building, on the same floor,
across from John Oliver on the same channel for HBO,
and I never seen this nigga not want y'all what
the fuck.

Speaker 1 (01:57:48):
It was like?

Speaker 2 (01:57:49):
They was never in session when we was in session.

Speaker 1 (01:57:51):
No, they weren't, y'all. Y'all would have sessions at different times.

Speaker 2 (01:57:53):
I would have liked to see that dude. I think
he a pretty cool guy.

Speaker 1 (01:57:56):
Me too, John Oliver, I do too.

Speaker 2 (01:57:58):
I don't really see him do a bunch of like
we should be hanging out with Republicans bullshit. You seem
to understand that something. Yes he does. We talked for
a few and he was awesome. I'm really looking forward
to hearing what you both have to say. I'm also
hoping that this energy keeps going and grows. Could this
be the beginning of politics that make us happy? Peace
Lealy from playing at Brooklyn. You know I was gonna

(01:58:20):
tell you to calm down, but stay stay excited. Enthusiastic.
I'm not gonna meet you at that level enthusiasm yet.
I'm not even on front. I'm very happy about Tuesday too,
but i feel like this energy need to keep going.
It need to be sustainable, and I'm worried about people

(01:58:45):
already losing focus of the big picture. And I'm also
not going to give anybody any credit for changing their
mentality because right now I'm like, I just feel like
you need y'all wanted to push back against all this suffering.
I saw the same thing happen during the first Trump

(01:59:05):
the blue wave, and I was like, yeah, but is
it sustainable? And you know what, to that credit, it
was sustainable enough that we got Joe Biden two years later.
But it's only been one year. This is off cycle,
off cycle lections. Next year is the midterms.

Speaker 1 (01:59:23):
That's gonna mean something matters.

Speaker 2 (01:59:25):
And these same white folks, if the Republicans get their
way with all this jerrymandering and shit, these same white
folks will be super important for them to keep the
same energy because they can flip all this tomorrow. That's
how strong it is. If white folks wake up, this
shit'll go away. Yes, it really is that simple. It's
not us, you know, population shout out to the biggest

(01:59:49):
grifters in the world, the people that get paid to
run poles about will black people vote for Democrats or not?
Spoiler alert Yes, and we never have. We've never been
the ones that drop the ball at.

Speaker 1 (01:59:58):
The highest clip. It's the other pocs you need to
be looking at.

Speaker 2 (02:00:02):
It's never else. And before you try to make some
type of weird ass distinction like yeah, I mean the
sisters do, but the brothers don't. Okay, So the sisters
at ninety percent, the brothers at eighty percent, and the
brothers are far and away the most supportive men of
all of them. So if you're gonna shoot on the
brothers on this one, just understand that you are just
raising the bar so that you can shit on everybody, right,

(02:00:23):
And I'm not. I'm not supporting that, like I like,
I don't fuck with them. Twenty percent of niggas. Those
ain't my Those brothers ain't my brothers people, And I
don't mind giving them the smoke, But don't smoke us all.
When four out of five do the right thing, you
don't smoke us all. That's fucked up, right, So let's
just keep it real. You gotta stay fact based. So
I'm with I'm with the smoke for everybody that don't

(02:00:47):
contribute to this thing, but the idea of like.

Speaker 1 (02:00:51):
Cause you look at like nigga, you suffering too? The fuck?

Speaker 2 (02:00:53):
Yeah. So nah man, I'm very excited, I'm very happy.
I'm very relieved. But this is this better be the
start of some shit that.

Speaker 1 (02:01:03):
That's how I feel. And I will say the same
thing like I said prior to this selection. All that
matters to me its results. I don't care how pretty looks,
how ugly it looks, I don't care how discombobulated it looks.
All I want is motherfucking results.

Speaker 2 (02:01:16):
Lastly, she says, how are y'all thinking it was Kim Beason?
Girl was showing her kiddy in basic instinct, and I
remember she was married to and had a baby with
Alec Barwin. This wasn't just white people news back in
the nineties. That was news news. They talk about, Oh oh, Lee, Lee,

(02:01:38):
you don't understand the segment white people news. Now it's
still news news.

Speaker 1 (02:01:46):
Yes it is.

Speaker 2 (02:01:47):
We made it a segment. I hate to give y'all.

Speaker 1 (02:01:50):
I hate doing it.

Speaker 2 (02:01:52):
I hate doing it. I hate the show because I
think the things we're doing is clever. I don't think
it's that subtle, but it is too subtle. The reason
we do a segment called white People News is that
to white people it's just news, and to most of us,
we've accepted that White People News is news. It's just news.

(02:02:14):
We the only show that's like, no, this is not
just news. I don't care about this shit. This is
what white people care about. And until we got diversity
of media, it was all people must care about Kim
Beason girl versus Sharon Stone. No, we all don't. So
you kind of missed the point. It's still news. News.

(02:02:38):
People care a lot about Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift.
We don't care that much. We bring it up about
once every two weeks. There's an entire podcast I'm sure
that just dedicated to like, did Taylor Swift wake up
on the left side of bed? You know, the right
side of bed?

Speaker 1 (02:02:54):
They dedicated to the calls.

Speaker 2 (02:02:56):
Yeah, so now you missed the point.

Speaker 1 (02:03:00):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (02:03:01):
I'm glad and I'm proud to not necessarily know and
keep in mind is not performative. I'm not doing this
on purpose, but It's not my fault. When I get
white actresses confused, that's Hollywood's fault. We're always getting the
same type of white woman over and over and over. Nigga.
I can't keep up with the new model. It's like
an iPhone. If you show me an iPhone twelve and

(02:03:23):
an iPhone thirteen, far being from my ass to be like,
now that's the twelve, that's the thirteen, that's the fourteen.
I can't tell you. They kind of look the same
at the while.

Speaker 1 (02:03:32):
And they got several of them that I've seen them,
and I always cross them up because they and I've
seen them where they've had pictures of them side by side,
particularly a white female actress. It's like, bitch, I still
can't tell the difference.

Speaker 2 (02:03:44):
There are four Jamie Presley's in Hollywood right now. They
aren't all named Jamie Presley, but they Jamie. It's like
Margot Roby Jamie Presley, and like the two other ones
y'all know.

Speaker 1 (02:03:55):
That look the same.

Speaker 2 (02:03:57):
This ain't my fault. I refuse to take any accountability
for this.

Speaker 1 (02:04:02):
I don't see some diversity in your whiteness.

Speaker 2 (02:04:05):
And did I burned the hole in the videotape for
winding into the scenes of of the the leg Crossing.
Of course I did. I was fourteen. We've all been there, Okay,
I didn't know how to get through the hard core
porn yet. That's not even the sexiest scene in there.
It's the one where they had sex up against the

(02:04:26):
wall that I was like, I don't is this consensual?
Why is this okay? Like that's a white that's like,
that's back when white men wrote all the thrillers. Must
they did because the sex in them movies used to
be like, I don't think that's legal.

Speaker 1 (02:04:41):
Right, this is soft core pawing. Guys, what are we
doing here?

Speaker 2 (02:04:45):
It's like they come in the house. It's like, George,
you've been peaking on me. Slap bitch, who the fuck
you slap it? Turn around, give me some puzz Oh,
I love it, thank you?

Speaker 1 (02:04:53):
What this is not how this functions in the real world.

Speaker 2 (02:04:56):
Whose morals are these?

Speaker 1 (02:04:57):
I mean, they didn't work like that, but I I know,
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (02:05:01):
I just think that's a huge risky change. Like if
the next scene was him in handcuffs and I was like, yeah,
you know that sexual assault, right, and he's like, yeah,
you know, I had to figure that that probably you
normally don't go one hundred percent from arguing to having
sex with handcuffs and shit. That's the point.

Speaker 1 (02:05:18):
Yeah, just coming a room.

Speaker 2 (02:05:21):
Leave. Yeah, I remember the one. I forget the one.
But it's like Alicia Silverstone. It's like the hot seventeen sixteen,
eighteen year old babysitter across the street or something who
wants to fuck the forty year old man in a
failing marriage at all cost, you know, or the one

(02:05:43):
where the woman is like, uh burnt boiling a bunny
because she's because you know how hot chicks lose their
minds and be like, I'll fucking kill this man's wife
and his pets to fuck. It's like white men must
men must have wrote these, of course, It's like what
it's the story that sexual assaults use as their defense

(02:06:04):
in the courtroom that we all know is a lie.
But it's like that story where it's like, no, man,
you gotta understand she took the quayluse herself and then
forced herself on me, And you're like, Bill Cosey, the
only thing that's how quay louse working man. You want
to understand these bitches, man, that's you. Have you ever
seen the documentary Basic Instinct, That's what they do.

Speaker 1 (02:06:24):
Like, no, sir, just how this works.

Speaker 2 (02:06:27):
But yeah, the talk that was new to talk about
her reminding me of the movie Nine and a half Weeks,
which really submitted her sexy image. She had a relationship
with Prince during Batman. She dropped out of a starring
role in the movie Boxing Helena. See you know this
White people News. Don't act like we don't know this shit.
I don't want to know.

Speaker 1 (02:06:44):
Cut very detailed.

Speaker 2 (02:06:45):
You was out there reading People magazine when they were
still print uh. Boxing Helena, for which she was sued
and winning the bankruptcy. She played em and L's mother
in eight Mile and the dead woman in Tom Patty's
Last Dance with Mary Jane video. See I always remember
pop culture, but gotta play Jedi my tricks to remember
why I walked in the room later from Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 (02:07:07):
That's hilarious, Lee.

Speaker 2 (02:07:09):
You love them white folks.

Speaker 1 (02:07:10):
Try ain't then rain going wrong with that. There's a
lot of people to keep up with that.

Speaker 2 (02:07:14):
You need to start a white people News podcast or something.
You know, you got to de cut some white cuts.
You lost me after she fuck Prince. I was like, oh,
I mean, it makes sense, but I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (02:07:25):
I did not know.

Speaker 2 (02:07:26):
All right, y'all, that's it, Thanks for listening. We'll be
back throughout the week, I think this week. Yeah, we'll
be back throughout the week. I was I was about
to spoiler guest, but I actually don't think. It's still
two weeks, so let me check the calendar. But we'll
be back until then.

Speaker 1 (02:07:42):

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
