And Marlon B. Yes, Marlon B. Thank you. Everybody took
the time out to put a little something on our
books so we can get new oatmeal cream pies. We
appreciate you. But some of you niggles didn't leave no

(04:24):
five star reviews, and you know that really burns our biscuits.
No five star reviews since November the second, which sounds
like you about to get some commercials. You got, Oh

(05:08):
all right, I hope you enjoyed that. Your sons are bitches.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Couldn't they generated as so it don't We don't know
what you're gonna get.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Just couldn't even be bothered to help us out, y'all
was like, nah, not this week, I want these commercials. Well,
are you happy?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Now?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I'll give you something to cry about these commercials, right,
all right, So let's get into the episodes, Episode one,
thirty one eighty two. Too many Jamie Presless. There's a
lot of these Jamie Presley's out here. Guys. I can't
keep up with all of them. They just out here
Jamie Presley and being and stuff. Eight comments. The first

(05:47):
one is from Opa. The redhead wood pigeon still leaves
me suspicious, as pigeons are seen as in the vasive
species elsewhere, for example in Germany. Is a clear sign
that he could make it on his own if he
really tried. They also have a deal with cats and
clearly have found a way. Put yourself up by your wings,
push yourself up by your wings, or whatever your German

(06:07):
cousins can do it. Red headed bird, at least he
could try so much that he wouldn't need government assistants
to survive. And for the German pigeons, I suggest red
head paint to them to get some special treatment and
help instead of being seen as a problem. Sean replied,
I did the force equations, and because you would need
the same amount of downward force through your boots as

(06:28):
you would to create upward lifted it is impossible to
literally or figuratively pull oneself up by Bun's preferbial boot straps.
Baron mont Chauson mont Chausen, whose fictional exploits originated the term,
is the only person who was ever able to pull
themselves up by his bootstraps. I think he was lying
that being said, I do not condone nor do I

(06:48):
support the anti pigeon racism. I mean, if they were white,
they'd be doves, and then you'd want to save them, now,
wouldn't you. IB just says I'm here on record fighting
for the Magi Majestic black Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Also, they said the sound sounds wonky.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Oh really, okay, give me a second, everybody, maybe, I said,
my setting is no, Oh.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
You're frozen on my screen. Do I need to refresh
or is it you?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Uh? I don't know, let me refresh. I'm sorry everybody
that was working on my end. It's working on the
computer side. They said, to hear ambient sound, but not
y'all on the mic or the music. Okay, so it
may have been some sort of setting thing. Okay, let's see.

(07:35):
Is the sound better? Now? Let me know in the
chat room. I wait a minute or two. I know
y'all need to reply.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Am I still frozen on your can?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay? It could have been Okay, I sound regular now, yeah,
it must have been something with the recording. All right,
Well it's fixed now back to Sean versus Apia. Uh,
she says, I'm here on record for fighting for the
majestic black dolphins also called killer welles By racist exactly. Sis.
We don't radicalize Opoia, and I love it the color,

(08:07):
the color. If the pigeon is not interesting to me,
I'm just of the pigeons not interested to me. I'm
just not impressed by his motivation, creativity and work ethic.
Sean said, sure, all pigeons are lazy. I see what
you're doing. Nah, Sean, We're not gonna do that the opera. Okay,
you take up for these redhead pigeons if you want to.

(08:27):
I'ba says mister Apia's further father turned right wing some
years ago, and there is not much we can do.
What we do. I told him that we absolutely don't agree.
We will not discuss politics with him. We have the
contact at the absolute minimum, seeing him maybe two times
a year for thirty minutes. The sister of mister Apia
shares our view. I see nothing else we could do.
We will not give him a platform. He once tried

(08:50):
some right wing meme in a WhatsApp group and I
threatened him to throw him out. He didn't anymore, but
I quietly retired the group anyway. What I will not
do is try to convince him he knows what he
is doing exactly they be knowing. I just think it's
so infantalizing to be like these racist people just don't
have the right message from Bernie Sanders to reach them. Like, no, man,

(09:13):
some people just racist, and you're not gonna beat them.
You're not gonna convince them, and you're not gonna love
them out of it. You just need to move on.
The Eve says I was one of those kids who
didn't realize that family was getting government assistance. When I
was a teenager, I had an offhand comment about people
on Section eight I heard and my mom, oh, I
made okayo, that's even worse you said it, And my

(09:33):
mom got me right together when she said we were
on Section eight before my parents were able to save
up for a house. I had no clue because the
apartment we lived in was very nice in a really
nice neighborhood. In my head, I thought Section eight was
like good times, right. I had no idea, and to
change our perspective of the kind of people who use
government assistance, I think kids don't realize what parents need
to do to make sure they're taken care of until

(09:55):
they're grown to have families of their own right.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
And that's if they ever know. And and that's the
thing a lot of people, even black and brown people,
are They live this lie that assistance is for everybody
else but them and theirs until somebody like you say,
busses that bubblah blah, Hey you out here talking shit,
You actually one of these people.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Also, I didn't realize until I got older that my
grandmother was on some type of assistance as well, just
that when I was at our house, I had the
best sandwiches because of the government cheese. I missed government
cheese bread. It didn't quite melt like the other cheeses,
but it sure was tasty. I love to have a
block of it right now.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
It don't quite melt right.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
And that's why your ass like Rby's there, you go,
that explains everything. Sometime it's crazy. You can circle around
something for years, for years and be like, I don't
understand where this person is coming from. But the kind
of person that looks back at government cheese sandwiches fondly,

(10:56):
that's a specific type of person because I remember the
government cheese, and I remember that that big thick bologne. Yes,
and I'm not gonna lie. When I could stop eating it,
I did, meaning I have none in my house right now.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Thick as a t bone steak.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes, you have to cut the size that said a
roll up on you. Yeah, and I realized I have
not fucked with that since I could not, since I
could afford to not fuck with it. So yeah, but
but thank you. You now make a lot more sense
to me. I get it. You know what. I'm gonna
leave you alone. Enjoy your government cheese, Arby sandwiches. It's
probably great you love it. Sean says, I was in

(11:40):
the head Start program summer programs up until some bastard
cut deliss celerity with age related mental affirmity decided to
put summer programs on the cutting block. I know it's
not healthy to hold a grudge, but fuck Reagan and
may he ride in hell.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
A lot of people don't even count that stuff as
government programs too, which is so interesting, right.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Like you said, like Headstart and like pre k stuff
and things that it says parents a lot of money
for daycare and things like that, versus.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Or just you're getting the education on a level that
maybe like a private school typically gives kids or some
advancement that and you're not paying extra for it. But
I was in those classes, and I in my mind,
I would not have thought it myself, like, oh, that's
government assistance, but no, it is. Essentially it's we saw
you were a kid that need a little bit more

(12:31):
specialized in advanced curriculum, and we made sure you got
it through the public school system.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
You got it.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Lastly, Leley from Brooklyn says, hey, Rod and Karen, I
too work in the same building as John Oliver. I
didn't know until we were on the elevator together the
day after the election, when I told the security guard
downstairs that I was on the elevator with him, and
he said, yeah, his office has been upstairs for like
ten years. This is my second year in the building
and I'm not in the entertainment field, so I had
no idea he was here or the show you worked

(12:58):
on was here. Yeah, we got I never cross paths
because if you've only been there two years' game theory
has been off more than two years. But yeah, small world.
In my Robert Harris voice last month, I saw Russell
Wilson in the lobby and he was super friendly too
and handsome. A coworker saw David let him in across
the street. One day, Bennie Siegel came to our office.

(13:19):
I worked with Court involve you also, please don't use
my real name. What oh? So she sent an email
and the email has your government name on it. What
I had to do was copy and paste this to
our website so that I wouldn't say your real name.

(13:41):
But let me tell you if the best way for this,
I'll emailed her back because she had been leaving voicemails.
You can continue to leave voicemails, call yourself whatever. It's
not gonna put your phone number out there, or if
you either have to change your email address so that
it doesn't say your name. That's what I see first.

(14:01):
And when I'm doing this show, and there's so many
of y'all that write in and leave comments. At some
point I'm on auto palette and I can't remember which
individual person's like, no, don't say this, use that Cause
it's so many of y'all, it's easier, But I would
suggest that you create an account on the blackoutis dot
com and leave comments there under whatever user name, and

(14:26):
that'll be the easiest thing, right, because then you that's easier.
So anyway, YouTube, let's see what we got here. Nine comments.
All right, Sharon says, Hey, Karen and Rider love the show. Right,
you are right. Lenard is an operative. What he said
is straight up right wing GOP talget point. Yeah, he's

(14:47):
paid for Thank you for all you do. No problem,
And my problem with him is not so much that
the idea of saying, like yo, this shutdown is hurting
people in their families, and when it comes to an end,
it hopefully will give a lot of people a relief.
My problem wasn't that it was one. It's Charlemagne, so

(15:09):
you know when they do stuff like that. He is
the guy on the other side who's like, y'all are week.
This is why people don't vote for y'all. This is
why nobody likes Democrats. Why couldn't y'all be like Republicans.
So he is that guy, and today he's saying one thing,
he will absolutely say the other thing the next day.
That was a big part of it, and then the
second part of it was it was sound. I remember

(15:32):
the conversation started about the airports, and that just felt like, well,
now I'm gonna be inconvenienced because I travel, I use airlines, Democrats.
Can y'all call this one on home? It didn't feel
like any principal stands to me. Ja Mario says, love
the show. I'm taking the word is obscuring the problem framing.
I will try to give you all credit. Thank you. Yeah,

(15:55):
And that's that's my thing that I've said on this
show a bunch of times about like people will say
it's the word, but it's it's it's the meaning, and
we just wait for the meaning to catch up to
the new phrasing. And they were like, oh, we it's
this word. We have to get rid of this word,
and then we do it again.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Don't matter what you're calling. If the if the meaning
and the feeling and the definition behind it is the same,
the word is not the problem.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Leonardo says, please post your episodes, even if it is
messed up. I love hearing both of your thoughts. I
thought you all went corporate with the embedded ads and
smiled each time one play because I hope y'all was
getting paid. We wasn't. That's another problem without them damn ads.
I ain't getting nothing from that, Yeah, because it's just
the audio I uploaded the headliner, and then they must

(16:38):
throw them ads in there. That's not normal on our
YouTube feed.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
No, that's not.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
So they got them. They got the money.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, so they did the chopping and screwing.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, when I throw ads in on Spotify or whatever,
y'all listen to later, that's one hundred percent coming to
us at least, or well fifty percent, but you know
what I mean. On another note, I moved to Delaware
about eight years ago. Going America might not know, but
we are one of the blackest states, and Biden was
our senator. But he also grew up across the border
in Pa, in Cold count Country, so he was able

(17:08):
to relate to them. When Kamala took over, I knew
it was up in the air because Pa is also
known as pennsyl Tucky outside of the cities, and some
of them would rather die to see a black woman
run this country. Also, doctor Umar's school is not too
far from where Biden lives. Delaware is smaller. We all
voted in the first Transtrongresswoman. The Dems messed up. I
thought the pivot would have been our old guy versus yours.

(17:31):
If Joe checked out, we would get Kamala. I agree.
I don't think they should have taken Biden out, but
that's you know. I think we all here, for the
most part would have voted for whoever the Democrats put up,
But a lot of people just decided they didn't need
that doctor. Umar school not too far from where Biden lives.
Can I see some pictures? Are the kids there yet?

(17:53):
Is it a school or is it an empty building?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Y'alls? Truth in MLK, but of art.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, I need to see. I need more evidence. Provocative,
af said some gang gang. I've been having reservations about
Charlotte Kine. I mean Charlotte Mayne. He discussed me bro
I love to shall. I appreciate when you and Karen
rip these whosies a new and forgive the profanity. Imagine
write a song about these guys. Man. This show brought
up the C four and a lighter. I no longer

(18:20):
will window shop for podcasts anymore. I get everything returned here.
This was deep. Thank you both, appreciate you. Joseph says, hey, y'all,
I like to post that I like y'all post the
episodes anyway, despite with the ass that come with it. Also,
another cherry on top of the election Sunday is that
JD Vance's brother lost the mayoral race in Cincinnati. Yeah,

(18:41):
we definitely we don't want JD. Vance and we definitely
don't want his fucking offshoot offspring like his brother, JJ
says Rod. Thank you for correcting me on Jesse Water's
evil self.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Ug.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I actually saw that damn China Town segment before but
forgot just yuck.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Yeah, and you know.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
What's crazy, I'm not really a I tried not to
occupy too much of the like remember Whening space, because
a lot of times with certain people, it's like everyone's
fucked up somewhere and it's you know, but some of
these motherfuckers is just variently bad people and they're constantly
still doing bad shit and the never getting better. And

(19:20):
Jesse Waters, I definitely remember my first introduction was that
weird racial pranks. Whatever he was doing that was just racist,
And I remember dismissing him as like, God, what a
fucking loser to think that the right wing saw him
and said we need to make him the new Tucker Cars.
How desperate and racist? Can you be right?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
That mean y'all don't have no talent.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
He's not even funny, No, he's not. But I wanted
to comment on your thoughts about how white men were
running wild back in the day with these movie scripts,
especially basic instinct. When I was finally old enough to
watch that damn movie, I was furious because of that.
Of course that bitch was to killer. Oh my god,
I wasn't even he scandalized by the sex. I was like,
how are they so confused if she did it or not?

(20:05):
She definitely did it. She wrote a book about it.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
And this was so over the top. It was just ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
She did write a book about it. Yeah, that was crazy,
Like what was the tension in that? Yeah, now that
I remember the movie, it's like, what was the tension?

Speaker 2 (20:22):
That's how?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
But see, you know what, I was like fourteen or
something at the time, so all that take was to
me was like the minute marks where there was fucking yeah.
Other than that, I didn't care about the film. I
was just like, Okay, so when do they like didn't
he like pull the pennies off with his teeth?

Speaker 2 (20:40):
What sad?

Speaker 1 (20:41):
What minute mark is that that that's the most important
part of the plot. To me, I don't really need
to know if I think about the plot twist. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure that was her with the screwdriver or
the ice pick or whatever the fuck. But who cares
at a time like this when tit is are out.
So that was the first time I heard somebody black

(21:01):
being referenced to as a spook. That movie had a
bunch of racist, sexy shit going on. Oh thank you
for letting me get that out, love y'all. Thank you.
JJ Christoph says, keep posting the episodes regardless of the
amount of ads or lack of video, y'all A my favorites. Yeah,
it shouldn't happen often, if you know, like it only
happens if a bunch of shit falls through on our end.
That was just crazy because I hit the record button

(21:24):
apparently to start the show, which I never do. That's
not what I'm supposed to do normally. That's when I
play music and stuff. Then I hit the record button
to start when I start recording with Karen and we're like, hey,
how you doing, blah blah blah. Apparently I hit it twice,
meaning I hit it when I was supposed to. Then
I hit it again, which stopped it. So you only

(21:45):
got me playing music for fifteen minutes and no show show.
So that's why I couldn't even upload anything from the
actual crowdcast. But we figured it out. And lastly, Jen says,
I say post anyway, but I will say ninety percent
of my ass where Bernie ads, which I found hilarious
for y'all's podcast specifically, never hit fast forward so fast

(22:06):
ah Bernie. Anyway, Yeah, thank you everybody for the comments
and I that was very and shout out to y'all
on YouTube following instructions. That's actually very educational for next time.
If this does ever happen again, I will post the audio,
uh to YouTube, just so that y'all don't miss an episode,
because my my first thought was to just be like, sorry,

(22:28):
I messed up. There is no episode for today's show.
Go listen to the regular feed. But okay, got y'all
and Spotify. We have sometimes get comments on there. Let's
see if we got any on this one audience comments

(22:50):
two Okay, say feckless one more time. Rod said, shoe
boody feckless. The motherfuckers is facous and then I'm dad,
he says, I had to look up feckless. Lol.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I shout out to you, well, like, wait a minute,
we need to but it's a mean yeah, shout out
to both of y'all.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Appreciate y'all. That's hilarious. Oh man, All right, let's get
to the next episode. But first, y'all gonna get some
more commercials. I forgot to mention the poe. Do you

(23:53):
play video games? Fifty eight percent? Yes, forty one percent,
because I've been playing a lot of video games and.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
I love video I think video games is one of
my few pastimes. I play video games like a lot
of is an adult. But I think when I was
I had my GameCube when I was in college, and
I think that like hours invested in that Zelda game
that came on that game cube, I played it for

(24:19):
an unlimited amount of times. Like I love playing video games.
I think for me, it's always been my escape from reality.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, I enjoyed video games. They're fun and honestly, of
all the shit that we could be doing with our time,
video games feels like, at this point, one of the
least harmless ones, right, it gets scaped, got it a
lot because never there's like a mass shooting. They're like,
he was a gamer. I'm like, well, maybe he was
playing different games than me. Like y'all never say that
about Mario Brothers all right, episode thirty one to eighty
three Hill Billy Fight Club. Even he says, Karen, you

(24:49):
mentioned how your rights never comes out as good as rods.
Rice has always been a challenge for me, no matter
if I put the correct measurements in the pop of
the or not. And then my girlfriend gifted me a
small rice cooker. It wasn't one of those uh fancy
ones with all the buttons, just one that turns on
and off. That rice cooker changed my life. My rice

(25:10):
always comes out perfect. I ended up accidentally breaking the
one I was getting and bought a replacement for twenty bucks.
So they're not expensive unless you want one of the
fancy ones. It's worth the investment if it's something you're
interested in. Me I already had I'm the rice cooker,
so no, she's not gonna get it. I already know that. Two.

(25:31):
I don't like rice cooker rice. I actually think it's
not that good. And you know, maybe it's my own
hubris or whatever, but I think I just like I
can do it better. I don't like the I don't
like the what was that thing called the suthing pot.
I don't like the Insta pot rice either. It's not
good to me, Like it really does not taste as

(25:52):
good as the rice I can make myself. And people
would be like, oh, with the Insta pot, you can
cook the rice on the them and the meat. I
tasted it and I was like, no, this is not
as good.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
I could do anything the rice cooking, like my only
job is right.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Maybe it's just the rice I cook and the rice
I make. I'm not saying all y'all are wrong. I'm
just saying it ain't for me. But we did give
it a shot. But but but I think rice cookers
are great, especially when you wanted to save time people
that got families and stuff. It's just us and I
don't mind taking the time to make the rice the

(26:30):
way I like and uh, you know, add and change
some things a plus a little. Honestly, Karen likes her
rice a little bit more softer than the rice settings
for like most of the just regular instructions for how
to make rice, she doesn't like it.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
As it tastes grainy.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah so she so she so if it's like use
a cup of water, sometimes I use like a cup
in the fourth like so anyway, that's six Flags that
recently closed. Was my first summer job. I worked in
the food section, and that's where I learned to never
be mean to the people handling your food. I never
did it myself, but many of my coworkers world dropped
the food on the floor and serve it anyway. There

(27:13):
was one guy who spit in this guy's cheese fries
because the customer was a dick. That's why, to this day,
I'm always nice to people heading my food. Although you
should be kind of people regardless, you really shouldn't fuck
with people in food service. The best part of working
there was going there for free on my days off
of my friends and riding the rods for free. I
missed that place. I've just says, I have never seen

(27:34):
the we the people tattoos, but at their quick search
I share a rod's opinion very suspicious. Yeah, I guess
in Germany, y'all wouldn't have it because it's definitely about
our constitution. Yes, so, like, I don't know how else
you gotta be to be in a whole nother country
and put we the people, and it's not in your constitution.
I just imagine a person looking at their arm and thinking,

(27:55):
nice arm with all the functions, and it even looks okay,
but it's missing something, a people tattoo. That's what I'm missing,
A case in case I ever forget what we are.
Bonus at sex is extra kinky and makes it look
as though there are more of us at work perfect well,
at that point, I feel like that means you or
whoever you having sex with, are the weed right like

(28:17):
we are the people right now. Justin says I also
went to the Ball Brother's tour. I was wondering if
I would see y'all and was looking out for y'all. Well,
we did run into several people, and there were people
that said I actually posted a completely different picture on
our Instagram about a movie we just saw, The Running Man,
and so I was like, I saw y'all at the
Ball Brother's tour. So I was like, I guess we

(28:39):
did get spotted, all right. It was nice though everybody
on stage were funny, but to hear jokes about going
to the bathroom having me rolling because I used to
be that type of person that held it in until
I got home. But the old I got, I ca'd, yeah,
your body be like tried if you want to now
to hear as funny as hell, I don't. That's the
second time I've seen them clothes on that little person
bit and I still don't know how he gets away

(28:59):
with that either. I mean, people lag it's funny. But
I was like, I'll be looking around the audience like,
is everybody on pay the same with this? Okay?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
But it's hilarious. I don't care. I know it's funked up, don't.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, it's death definitely. Sean says, are you the person
to call in the high William fight Club was a mine? Oh?
Are you sure the person to call in that He'll
William fight Club? He'll Billy fight Club was a miner.
I think it may have been an older guy trying
to keep his parlay by ending the fights early. Maybe

(29:35):
I don't know how much they was betting on them fights.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Never know, you don't get three punches.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
I think I still think it was I still think
it was a kid who got beat up because I
feel like of all the people that want to call
and wrap this shit up. It's gonna be a kid
that has to keep getting beat up every day.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yep, and got tired of it. It's like I'm tired
of these apes.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I am twelve. Okay, this is way above. I want
to be right. Absent mind. It says, I'm not surprised
that Six Flags of America has closed, but it didn't happen,
but just that it didn't happen sooner. I'm born and
raised in Baltimore, so I've been there several times during
all the rebranding. It was Wild World when I was
in elementary school, at Venture World during middle school, and

(30:19):
Six Flags of America in high school. My family and
friends and I had good times there, but it definitely
got a bad reputation in the later years, fights breaking
out and safety concerns in the water park area. I
preferred the Six Flags in New Jersey because they had
more rides. My former employer represented an insurance company in
various lawsuits with Six Flags. Reading a few of the
foulains and claims about Six Flags was crazy. Some of

(30:41):
the claims were merited, but others were. Others were ridiculous.
Scamming from people from everyone, including the insurance company. Your
podcast helped me get through the work days. There a
much needed to escape. Keep the shows coming, love y'all,
Thank you. What a small world. Some of y'all have
six Flags connections.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, it's not a six Flags near of us. I
don't think I've ever been to a six Flags yeah,
any of them.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
I went to one in that letter with my aunt
one time, but it was a long time ago, all right.
And then YouTube comments Alicia Nicole says, we the people
as white people's they not like us.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Yes, yes, Alicia, that's listen, that's that's a punch up
of a joke. That's like. That's that's like writers drum
shit like that took my concept simplified it in a
just perfection. We the people as white people's they not
like us? So good, that's great, Alicia. Uh Shane Cargo says,
the black I mean the Ball Brothers tour is hilarious.

(31:44):
I bet they went off in person. They really did
look up the big Candice story, the woman they brought
on stage and found out she went to prison. Hilarious.
I will I can't believe how many people is willing
to just tell their stories up there. Yes, Ella Skoe
says that he'll Billy fight club story is basically part
of Peacemaker's origin story. It is it is if you

(32:06):
watch Peacemaker, that is part of his origin story. Oh no,
Damien says, nothing shows that this regime can't govern then
closing down airspace and canceling flights. Corina says, I got
to see the Ball brothers when they came to Detroit
last month. Cav tony to hear, and Brandon had my
stomach hurt him from laughing. A good time was had.
Mike says, my first thought about six Flagsfold was uh,

(32:32):
for sure, private equity, and I actually commented, and then
the next minute you all said it. It's so predictable
now and here here we are like how much money
do these motherfuckers need? Slash wrot right.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Then what ends up losing the product ends up being crappy,
and then the customers end up not getting what they want,
and then they end up like they said that certification
of it, and then they set it off to somebody.
And what happens a lot of times like a cycle,
if the person comes and actually takes care have been
building up and turns it into something. Do you have
a completely other company that will come and leally do

(33:04):
the same thing to these companies again and again. That's
why I said in these regulations.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Damien says, my black ass will not be caught dead
at a hell Billy fight club. Rule number one. Don't
talk about hell Billy fight club.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
No you don't.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
If a black person showed up at hell Billy fight Club,
it will become hell Billy. You just got jump club.
I don't think we are invited, and I don't think.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
You should think we are invited either.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Jason says, I've never won to give any slack to
the NFL, Fox or billionaire team owners, but nobody wanted
Trump up in that booth. The commanders basically have to
do whatever he wants it to. The stadium is built
until I find out otherwise. My deepest sympathies for Jonathan willma.
That footage was more incriminating than his bounty case case.
I almost hope for his sake that he is a coon.

(33:48):
Otherwise there's some bad game film put he put out.
The funny part is, since Bobby Junr has ruined RFK
name so bad, I'm cool with them renaming the new stadium,
but naming the athletic stadium after Trump is one control
too far right. Honestly, at this point, I if I'm
have a stadium rights that I'm trying to sell the name,
like naming rights to, I'm going to somewhere where I

(34:11):
can make money. Like nobody's judging Crypto dot com at
this point, just go get the money. Don't like forget
the president. You don't get no money off of the
president naming rights.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, unless you're gonna pay.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah. Spotify, we got three comments, one thirty two. I
am my mama. I needed that lol this morning, says
do o.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
There's a reply to it, but for some reason, it's
not showing the reply. Jay says, I went to the
Ball Brothers tour in Atlanta and loved it. I was
so impressed by how they were able to be funny
just off the top of their heads. I would definitely
see them again.

Speaker 6 (34:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I highly recommend they were part of my what to
watch list court on Karen Hunter Show, because I was like,
if you're in the local area where they're coming, you
should go see it because every show is different and
we had a great talk. Me says, when Diddy gets party,
he is going to purchase slides from six Flags and

(35:10):
drench them, and baby or injuries will mount. Guests will
end up private equity on hospitals, be force fed rov
K approved meds, be given a bill they can't afford
to have to file for bankruptcy through Broke Fire Broke Incorporated. Jesus,
that's also probably true.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Hilarious.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, that was good man, And yeah, I'm sorry whoever
applied to do that. I can't see your comment. It
just says Jay and one reply. So the poll for
this episode, have you ever been to Six Flags? Eighty
four percent of our audience has sixteen has not.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
That means wow, that means it's scattered across the you know,
I mean like more places. But because if we've always
had care Wins in this general area, I've been to
care Winds, I've been to Disney World, and I think
for me, if I went to other ones, I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, this is Interre, I've been there. I've been there,
but I had no idea so many people have been
there because.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
It's a family destination for yeah, and it's still a
specificst shit, but I could see why a lot of people,
particularly I know around here, and it's probably like that.
At these places, you just buy season pass. Your children
get old enough and phase out, and then you just
don't go as much.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
The last episode of the week is thirty one eighty
four all over McChicken. We got two comments. Ernest dot
com says for me, it's the McChicken best fast food sandwich.
I think you just like mayonnaise.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
And I do too. I love a McChicken. I mean
chicken and an orange soda. I'm black MC chicken and
a orange soda and a fry that is me. Or
mcfish sandwich and a or soda and a fry.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
I know it's just a filet of fish number one,
but number two. The reason I'm looking at you like
that is because we go to mcdony when you don't
order those things. What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Because a lot of times we just get like chicken
nuggets we're not getting, were not getting.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
But you can order anything and you not love it, Karen,
You just say love it. I do, and you don't
order it. That doesn't make sense, you know, And what
kind of love is that? Is that? How you love me?
Don't love me the way you love to make chicken
that you never did.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
I think the biggest reason why because my budget done
went up for a little bit. So I like, you
know what, let me get these MC nuggets. Put it
a bit rode. I'm trying to be healthy.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Brother, Oh that's that's healthy, splitting that peak paste excuses.
If you want to make chicken or filel fish, they
do have to make crispy for those of y'all that
are fancy. I want actual chicken in your chicken.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
I don't want no. I guess I don't want no
real chickens want to make crispy.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Well, you're not getting MC chickens either. You're not ordering those.
I don't know what. Who are you? You just be
saying stuff to our art I do they think it's
a whole nother person out here that they gonna walk
up to you like Karen, I got MC chickens because
you love them, And He'm like, I would never eat
that bullshit. No, I don't want to know MC chickens.
I'm gonna go to a place with actual food. E

(38:16):
mean says, I don't understand the Sydney swingey hype. And
I'm not one of those people who don't think all
women white women look basic. I just think Sydney is
a plain white woman with a nice body. I think
how some white men view any blond white woman is
how some black men view light skinned black women. Black
women deal with colorism, while white women deal with hair colorism.
I guess I mean Angelina Jolee is standing right there

(38:39):
now that, in my opinion, is a drop dead gorgeous
white woman. It's always difficult to talk about desirability and
stuff because I just feel like everybody has such different
personal preferences and there are some huge societal factors that
affect what we give voice to, maybe not even our desires,

(39:01):
but definitely what desires were comfortable talking about in public.
That being said, that being said as a black man,
who you know, I'm attract to all kinds of people.
She got some big ass titties. It's not even like
this one's a layup. It's not complicated, it ain't deep.

(39:22):
She got big ass titties and she be pulling them
out for her roles. That's that is a science that
has never been defeated at the box office or anywhere else. Like,
it really don't matter who the actor is if they
just keep pulling big ass titties out you're gonna start
having an offendity form. Society will catch on. They'll be like, oh,

(39:43):
you know who I'm into. I remember Alexandria the Dario
pulled out her titties and True Detective season one, episode
four or something, I forget that minute mark forty six,
and she became a star. To many of her she

(40:05):
was like, oh, oh, okay, what else she in now?
I don't know that she even pulled them titties out
for them other roles like maybe like she was. I
remember she was like the Rocks daughter or some shit
and saying Andres and I and it's a PG thirteen
G rated movie about the Rock fighting a goddamn earthquake.

(40:26):
And at some point I was like, so she's just
not gonna pull her titties out. I really paid this
whole the ten dollars, and she didn't think it was
titty time no more.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Okay thirteen.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
I know it's a joke, Karen. I didn't really actually
go to thinking about titties. I wasn't even really anticipating titties.
I actually don't go to movies in real life to
look at titties. Karens, So this is a whole bunch
of a joke. But now that you've whipped off the
you know, decided the whole veneer of the premise, then
let's just.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
We're gonna get the letters now.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah, no, no, we won't get no letters. They don't
write letters when you do this to me. They write
letters when I do this to you. So anyway, guys,
I don't I don't actually really care. I get to
see titties all the time on my phone and computers
and stuff. But that is the secret to Sydney Twiny.
She got some big ass titties that like, and she

(41:20):
you know. And I also think part of it is
accentuated by the fact that we became kind of a
sexless society for a few years in the Me Too
movement era, where maybe we overcorrected to like nobody should
ever be sexualized, which was not even realistic or sustainable.

(41:44):
And I think she was on the first wave of
these star lists that were like I'm sex positive, by
which I mean here of my titties and my crops
and my ad like, please look at me have sex
on screen. And because not a lot of people but
word making that kind of art at the time is
kind of jumped into a different level of star for

(42:07):
her than I think it would than it did for
other starlets.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
And also it's one of those things where you were
talking about that's why a lot of women out of
forefront and speaking out, but before will be the men
talking about it. But it's like the women got it.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
But I want to be desired.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
I want to fuck. This was my choice.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Nobody forced me to do anything. Yeah, because I mean,
we've had so many examples of men who are just
bad actors and and I don't mean bad in acting
on the on the screen. I mean they're bad actors
in that, you know, like James franco Is like latest,
y'all want to audition, let's get naked, and it's like,

(42:44):
so now you gotta have women come out and almost
run fall back for the movie to be like, there's
gonna be a lot of nudity in this movie. And
I wanted every scene, if anything, I wanted more. I
saw Jennifer Lawrence just did a movie and she oh,
we did this. Some white people know this, yeah, but
she just did like this full like intimacy coordinator Schmidt
to mis c coordinator, I need these We was fucking

(43:06):
and that's because I love Robert Pattinson and we were
He's not creepy at all. I'm like, all right, we
get it. You're gonna be naked in this movie, and
you don't want us to make it a thing understood.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Right, But it's like almost to the to the over
over correcting one way for eight, you know, just make
everybody just straight laced and non sexual to over the
correction the other way where everything is like super super sexual.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah, and so she benefited from that. But I think
her and this like maga adjacent thing she's trying to
pull off, I just think it was a bad career move. Now, look,
this is her. She might have these convictions and believe
all this maga shit, like a lot of people are
assuming it was some sort of like financial pivot or whatever,
but she might just really be a true believer in
conservatism whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
It.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
I just think it's a bad pivot because conservative people
don't really support the arts.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
They don't.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
They just don't.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
They don't support the arts.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
Like they hate quote unquote Hollywood. And even when they
have these guys who are like their faves, like oh,
we love James Woods, y'all, don't see shit he in like,
y'all don't care about that man or keeping him in business.
So I just think it was a stupid move on
her part. But she got some big titties, she's blond
and she's white. She'll land on her She'll land on

(44:20):
her feet or her boobs or whatever.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Like, she'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Ryan Murphy shows I hit or miss for me. He's
produced some amazing shows like The People Versus O. J. Simpson, Glee,
and Poe's. I do like the horror American Heart Story series,
especially the Coven seasons with Angela Bassett, but his misses
are usually not only missus but tone death. For example,
he had a series called Monster. The first season he
did with Jeffrey Dahmer's story, second seas he did the
Menendez Brothers. In the last season did ed Gean. My

(44:45):
biggest problem with Monster series he casts evenually handsome men
to play these horrible people, to make the audience empathize
these really horrible people. So you think he should look
throughout Hollywood and find some ugly man. What are you
saying about ugly people that they are horrible? Ugly people,
horrible people look ugly. I think you got to interrogate
some some things inside yourself about desirability. I'm still annoyed

(45:07):
that some women were saying Jeffrey Dahmer wasn't so bad
because the actor who played them, ignoring that this man
targeted black queer men most of a killed child. That's
society's problem, not Ryan Murphy's problem. Of all the problems
to have with Ryan Murphy, I feel like that's not
a real problem. You mean he looked at Hollywood and
hired handsome people. You mean the only people allowed to
work in Hollywood who are the ugly motherfuckers. They're like you, Now,

(45:31):
you could be Jeffrey dommerd look at your glass. I
definitely don't want to starve. Definitely don't want people that
anyone that people would recognize or go see this about.
I want a nondescript, ugly motherfucker. Just give me the nose,
just the skin that looked like a pork round. Give
me that person. That's the only kind of people that
could be a serial killer.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Now.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
I mean, I've heard people that have problems with him,
but that's that He's hard to understand his base because
I think he exists in a weird way, almost like
Redd it where everybody who watches his stuff seems to
kind of hate him and his stuff, but they keep watching.
And I don't know what that says about him, because

(46:14):
I actually like a lot of his stuff. I think
it's actually really well done and thoughtful. But then there's
stuff that is so not good that I don't watch it,
so I don't stick around to give any in depth opinion.
So like when I saw American Hard Story, the one

(46:37):
about working at a carnivore or something, I watched like
two three episodes.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
I was like, I.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Can't do this too.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
I was like, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
I don't even think this is good for me. I'm out,
and I was out and I never looked back. So
I'm sure there's if I kept watching it interrogated, I'm
sure I find more bad stuff about it. But man,
when he misses for me, it's a complete one total.
I'm not I don't even give a fuck about this missing,
as opposed to some people where they miss and it's

(47:06):
like they missed by a few degrees, but I'm gonna
finish it see where they went. But yeah, I like
the Jeffrey Dahmer's thing. I thought it kind of bad
rap with the online social media community. But I just think, yeah,
I think those people was wrong, and I think if
you watch the show, it actually addressed a lot of
the stuff they claimed was wrong about it. The show

(47:27):
was very aware and cognizant and intentional, which is kind
of surprising because sometimes his art is like that and
I'm very impressed where I'm like, wow, he kind of
covered his basis. I don't know who he hired to
write this shit or whatever, but this was really well
done and good. And then sometimes I'm like, did he
even fucking think about this? I don't know who are

(47:48):
his people? Who are the consultants, So I don't know.
And I think he did the Aaron her Nandez thing too,
which I enjoyed. It wasn't like as when you have
the highs of the people versus O. J. Simpson Versachi.
I would actually throw Jeffrey Dahmer's one in there. I
know that that's a bit controversial for y'all, but I

(48:09):
actually thought it was great. It is hard when you
missed Dog because when you miss it's like, how did
you even make that other shit good? Like this is
bad anyway, But this new series looks like a miss
for me. I love le C Nash and Sarah Paulson,
but when I saw KM Kardashian was in there, I
said no thanks. She was in another Ryan Murphy show
and her acting was terrible, So I won't waste my

(48:31):
time knowing it would irritate me whenever she's on screen.
Life too short to hate watch anything, agreed, ev.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
I agree that if if I don't like it or
don't think I'm gonna like it, I won't watch it now.
I might go back on the own and Roger will
be like, hey, baby, this is actually really good, and
we'll go back and watching it. Listen.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Karen won't even watch Peacemaker. She don't give a fuck
about good TV. And it's great so and everybody been
raving about it.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
I'm like, I'd rather watch the more.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
She didn't even understand what happened in Superman when he
came on the screen. She didn't get it. She was
she didn't know, just out when the audience gasped and
laughed and it was like the funniest joking it. So
she don't know why Eleanor says on YouTube, Hey, what's
up yo? I caught the show early. Hope you're having
a wonderful week so far. Thanks for the great show.
Ramsey pH Done says, Black Events by Lizzie took me

(49:20):
past go and not collected two hundred dollars. Yeah, that
was funny as hell. But man Page says, I'm so
bummed that the Democrats caved. I've been furloughed for over
forty days and I was hanging in because I believe
the Damns were holding out for affordable health care. I'm
so pissed the caved. We can't trust that the Republicans
will honor their agreement. I'm sorry, I'm just so sad
with what is happening. Damien says, Unfortunately, we might assume

(49:43):
the same posture after January thirty of twenty twenty six.
We better prepare, Yeah, because that's another government potential shutdown
happening then. Yeah, and a lot.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Of it is. It's not just funny just to get
us through the holidays so people can travel and do
what they want to do. But you know, when January
come down, I could see it being another shut down.
And it's sad to say I could see it. Each
one possibly could just be longer than the last one.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
I have no idea what's going to happen in the future.
Like you said, all we can do is try to
prepare for the worst. But I will say, man, you know,
I feel that getting on this microphone, I try to
have an obligation to be truthful to people, but I'm

(50:30):
not trying to be hurtful to people. And I think
it's very cold calculus and cold math, and I think
what happened is unfortunate for people. But I truly do
believe in my heart of hearts. I don't have anything
to prove it, but I believe that Schumering them sat
down at some point and said, let's get a blue wave,

(50:51):
and let's ensure that we're going to get a blue wave.
And the only way to ensure that is to put
people in a lot of pain through the government shut down.
And they won't reap or understand the benefits of this,
because this is a long term thing that you won't
really experience until you get representatives in there that are
Democrats and try to offset or make better legislation in

(51:16):
whenever everybody gets sworn in, which will be beginning next
year probably, And that's just not that's not a message
you can even say out loud to people because people
just don't want to hear that shit. And I don't
blame them for one to hear that shit, but they
can't come to y'all and say, your forty days of
pain was actually not really about us getting these extended

(51:38):
subsidies for Obamacare. It was actually about us getting the
votes in November, and we don't trust y'all to just
do it. If we do our jobs and keep the
government open, we actually think a lot of y'all would
be like, as long as my snap benefits is fine,
I'm still gonna stay racist. And by y'all, I don't
mean our audiences, but just.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Yeah, yeah, like in masses and knowing that that's sad,
but you know I do.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Actually I hope I'm wrong. I hope they're telling the
truth and that Schumer really just had eight Democrats that
were gonna go rogue at some point, and he sat
them down and said, can y'all at least not go
rogue until we get somewhere on health And they said,
it's it's been forty days. We don't think we're ever
gonna get there. We're revolting against you, and we're gonna

(52:24):
go ahead and cave. It's us eight Democrats, and everyone's
gonna call us week and they're gonna call the rest
of y'all week for not putting us under control. But
that's it. And I do hear Schumer saying he's not
running for re election. That's the rumor. So if all
that shit is true, then that's just the way it
played out. That's unfortunate. And I still think we'll see

(52:45):
what happens with Schumer and who takes his place. But
I don't know, man, I'm leaning towards I don't. I
think this is a sneaky way of doing something that's
probably necessary for the country, and especially a country you
can't trust to do the right thing. I don't feel
comfortable that this country would have voted in a blue
wave if not for the government shutdown. And that's sad,

(53:08):
but I feel that.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Way one hundred percent agreed. I I I really do, uh,
because the country has showed me as a totality, if
everything is going well and everything is going right, people
in the mask will not continue to vote for it
going well and going right. Eventually, you know, uh, white
people tm will turn around it. But like, oh, we're

(53:29):
doing good, everything's right, so we can go back to
to our roots.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Yeah, it's sad.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
It's sad, don't don't it takes a turn.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
That's why I'm not yelling and cussing and telling everybody
like a fucking god damn, Like I don't even know
what to say. People's lives is on the line for real,
And it's not a joke to me or just like
a political rhetorical point that I can like dunk on
somebody with and be like you I'm t I'm talking shit,
like I don't have any shit to talk. Man, this
whole thing was sad. It shouldn't ever have to get

(53:58):
like this.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Agreed, And that's why I say that. I it's some
mixed emotions, you know what I'm saying. It's not a
linear type of thing for me, like like, you know,
I don't want people to be hurt, but at the
same time, I was like, hold out as long as
you can at the same time, So and it's one
of those things where I'm like, you, real people are
being really impacted by these decisions that are made. But

(54:19):
the truth be told, for a lot of people that
suffering is what made them take their asses to the
motherfucking pole.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Let's see. Uh, Damien says, I really didn't see an
off rent for the shutdown. This version of the GLP
has super blinders on. They were truly deep death to
the suffering they are causing in the folks at the
top really seeing the relation that like hogs and slop
and the bill they signed only gives until January thirty,
so we could be right back here no time. I
think this regima has also shown that people don't really

(54:46):
understand what the oth of office really entails and required
from all of us. Too many are more worried about
having a job of care for self than taking a stand.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
The politicians well, also a lot of these politicians are
just avatarged for us as people. If we don't take
a stand in the voting booth, they don't take a
stand for us. We are getting the representation that we
vote for in a lot of cases. So even the
Democrats that were sent there in the eight that cave

(55:17):
to quote unquote, even those eight Democrats are representative of
other people from their electorate, meaning that somebody or something
has to reach those people to go this is not
good enough. You want to send somebody who's a more
of a fighter and more liberal than what you have
sent and depending on the demographics of the area, that

(55:38):
could be a losing fight. Yes, like like, we don't
know enough individually. We just broadly have feelings about how
things should go. So yeah, like I said, man, it's
just sad. It's I don't I don't have I don't
have Yeah, I don't have a some some courageous speech

(56:00):
or whatever. I don't. I don't have any smoke. I
just and I don't and I and unlike a lot
of people, I don't feel it was for nothing. But
they didn't get the thing they said they wanted was
these Obamacare subsidies. And part of me just wonders if
I could be a fly on the wall. And they're strategizing.
If they said, we know we're not.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Getting this, I can see them saying, like we.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Like Trump doesn't care, we know we're not. And honestly,
when we get back in power or get not even
power back in session, what we're gonna do is just
pivot to the Epstein files, because that's a winning thing
for us. And you know, the ship with what Trump
is not a win like this. The American people aren't
doing enough to to really put enough of us up

(56:45):
here to give a fight that we need, that we
would like to have that we can win.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Right, And at the end of the day, the American
people are literally in the driver's seat, and the American
people in masks don't want to take responsibility, and they'll
look at the politicians like, no, y'all drive the car.
It's like, well, no, no, no, no, I don't know. You
don't understand. You actually are in control because you're the
one that determines who's he and who represents you and
all these fucking radical ass ideas you have. You have
to put people in places that will press these.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Issu Yeah, and we're all online talking to each other
that already agree with each other, so we all subconsciously
believe that our ideas are full proof and that everyone
agrees with them and knows that they're earnest and right,
and that if you just fight on those ideas, everybody
will come around to them. And that's just a function
of our siloed internets.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Agree.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Jason says, I'm kind of like y'all when it comes
out of shut down ended. I'm not one hundred percent
either way. All I know is that this time last year,
we had Obamacare subsidies and Snap benefits. Because of one party,
we now had to choose between one or the other.
But no one is talking about the party that making
us choose. This is seriously two face blaming Batman for
the joker killing his lady. There is definitely a class

(57:51):
division on the left that Republicans were able to exploit.
It turned into a lot of people who need food
today but also qualify for Medicaid, versus people who won't
be able to healthcare tomorrow but are eating fine today. Yep, dastardly.
I wouldn't put it put Lady Guy out in the
stunt casting category. She earned some strikes. She definitely did,
and I'm sorry, I apologize. Uh she was great and

(58:14):
uh huh huh she was great and uh star is born.
I saw that movie. It was great. She was good
in the fucking fashion movie, the Italian fashion movie too?

Speaker 2 (58:33):
Is that what I know?

Speaker 1 (58:35):
The movie? I'm yeah, maybe that was it, but I
thought it was like House of Gucci or something.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Oh okay, that's another one. Yes, yes, I.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Think I didn't think she was in Versachi. That's the
Ryan Murphy thing about the killer. Yeah, it's all good.
But yeah, she you're right, she's good and I apologize. Uh,
but Kim k definitely is the guest. The race about
the mother who left the daughter at the gas station
was a dig giveaway. That child had an eye and
the phone and she was still talking back. I don't

(59:03):
know how you keep finding stories with mic jokes, but
please keep it up. The story was wild. But though
only thing more dangerous to McDonald's in Miami at midnight
is any church's chicken in broad daylight. Oh we don't
get a write in from the church's chicken man like
we did last time. I tell you all that that
somebody left a message last time. I made a joke

(59:23):
about the church's chicken and was like, I worked at
that church's chicken. It's safe. You're racist, son of a bitch.
I was like, what, I can't make a joke. I
was at the church's chicken. I ate that you wasn't
there at night. Oh you did not, that's hilarious. And
the joke was that I was too uptight about about it.
The joke was on me. God damn it. I hate
you stupid motherfuckers that don't understand how the joke works.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Yeah, the joke was on you.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
The joke was the other people was not getting out.
They cars were all sitting around looking at each other,
probably being racist. It was like, oh no, it's too
scary as black people sitting in cars. And then you
want coming outside. It's like, right, it's twelve of us.
Let's just go get our chicken. Nothing's gonna happen to
any of us. We're all safe. The pole shit films

(01:00:06):
with sex scenes require intimacy coordinators. Ninety yes, I say yes.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Yeah, regardless not you, regardless that if you uh, how
they step in and all that stuff. I think they
need to be present because once you get to intimacy,
you're you're talking about all types of stuff and and
yeah you need somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
And it's not always just sex either. But yeah, I
agree you need intimacy coordinators, I think. And it's better
to have one and not need them than the need
one and not have it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Agreed lawsuits.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
I forgot the comments on you on Spotify. Shoobody says,
I don't know. I gotta see Lizzie's spice drawer drawer
and think about it. The Lizzie events for Black folks,
Big Bunny says, uh mc funeral had me in tears, Buddy,
almost mixed shot, got almost mix shot. Did y'all hear
the mcribs back that Sam that Samwich has bad vibes?

(01:00:58):
Another good, great episode, Man, I thought it was just me.
I don't fuck with the mc rib.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
I haven't ate in a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
I've had it before. It don't hit like whatever everybody
else is tasting. I'm not tasting it. I don't know.
I was like, I had it, and I was like,
I don't know, feels like a lot of barbecue sauce
on the bread, but like this is not like this
can't be what I but But look, we all have
different taste. But I'm sure people are like, Rod, you

(01:01:27):
really go up for the Taco Bell pizza? Yes? And
I kill a motherfucking for it. So you know, I'm
just I'm just a different person with different opinions that
I'm not better than any but I love something shitty.
Marvin W. Marvin W says, can you imagine if that
woman's call had been answered by the mix Sheriff? Yeah?

(01:01:48):
I hope that now when one calls, don't go straight
to him.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
To explode it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
I don't need that, like he seemed like he don't
take the crime too serious. I don't like that. All right,
we gotta go to the voice mail line, but more commercials.

(01:02:33):
That's cience swing. I believe by infrared crypto. All right,
two voicemails. I believe you are. You will be able
to hear this because I'm in a different browser. But
let me know in the chat room if you can't.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Hear Karen, it's your blue wave.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
It's your boy, the blue wave rider back in your
ear holes once again. First of all, I want to
channel a little mister Span and say fuck George from
the bottom.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Of my hairy balls. Is the one that started this.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
Mess with moving on from Biden and after the election
turned out the way he did, at one point he
said he was done with politics. Just make some goddamn
movies and keep your mouth shut. We don't need your opinion,
we don't need your energy. Secondly, I was listening to
I was surprised you didn't do a you know, like

(01:03:22):
a election return podcast on Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
But I know you're busy now, you know you've.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Got important stuff to do. But I was interested to
hear your point.

Speaker 7 (01:03:34):
Of view about the election returns, and I kind of
come to the conclusion. You're right, we can be cautiously optimistic.
But white people, American white people are kind of like
rubber bands. They stretched way the hell out and then
they snapped back. Now this doesn't include the.

Speaker 6 (01:03:55):
Righteous whites, as Louis Daniel favorites called. But if you're righteous,
then you agree with what I'm saying, and if you
offend it, you need to check your mentality. Last thing
I wanted to say was.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
I didn't know it was the first time I was
hearing that you were losing the subscribers because of the economy.
That's kind of messed up, but I can understand it,
and I like to encourage your listeners myself included, to
take some of that Blackout Black Friday money and put
a one time gift on Roden Karn's books so they

(01:04:32):
can support the black guy who to That's all I got,
and I'm sure I'm under three minutes, So y'all have
a good one out.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Man. That's very nice of you for all that. I
love that righteous whites. That's hilarious. Lorie Daniels is hilarious
for that. What I was gonna say is, like I
also found out you can give people subscriptions through Patreon,
Like I think maybe yeah to like hit me up

(01:05:01):
to be like here's the money, and then I have
to create the link and then send it to the person.
I think that's how it works. But yeah, so like
somebody's already done that with two subscribers, like so, and like,
you know, I get it, Like, uh, I feel like
we're still in a very privileged situation, like to even
be able to make a living off of doing this podcast.

(01:05:24):
And you know what's funny is like when I log
into like the PayPal account to be like, hey, this
is the you know, here's how much you got, here's
the transactions, it tells me like last month you had
this many people. This month you got this many people.
You know, So like it's keeping track of that stuff.
But yeah, it's just a matter of it's above us.

(01:05:48):
And I don't know anybody that is like if you're
flourishing right now, good for you. But I don't know
how you would be flourishing in this economy with something
that deals with people, and we know people are hurting,
right And I'm not like some hyper capitalist person that's
like the game to be sold. I mean, I'm not

(01:06:10):
working for free. Don't get me wrong, but I'm not
so like caught up in it. I only ever bring
that up on the show, not to tell y'all like
we really need some money. It's more like to say, like,
even what you would assume would not be affected is affected.
So all of this is connected. So when you see

(01:06:32):
people that almost seem as if they're like above it
or they're talking in theory, I don't know how they're
able to do that, because you know, let's say you
had a serious XM show, you're probably seeing people that
had to cancel their serious ExM because that was a
luxury and I lost my job. Or I used to
listen to it. I used to listen to it in
my work card, and now I don't have a work

(01:06:54):
card because I don't work like.

Speaker 5 (01:06:57):
You.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
Just you know, hey, forty days of no pay from
the government, I got a tight king the belt a
little bit. This fifteen dollars is gonna have to go
as along with this Netflix and this, this and then
other stuff is just raising food prolls, all the streaming
service calls, all of this stuff is going up and
people having to make decisions they didn't necessarily have to

(01:07:18):
make even a year ago, and this is ten months
into this administration, meaning it's probably gonna get worse for
it gets better. Shout out to the like I said,
we have the best listeners. Uh, I didn't even I
didn't suggest they're like, hey man, some people got to
give up their membership, so if y'all want to help
them out. A person hit me up like how can

(01:07:41):
I help?

Speaker 5 (01:07:42):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
How can I? And I was like, oh, I still
have a couple of those people's email addresses that canceled
that ironically wrote these kind like hey, I'm sorry I
got to cancel. Like you don't need to do that,
Like you don't need to explain, like it's show money.
It's not like I write Netflix and be like guys
going down the service, you know. But they did it anyway,

(01:08:04):
and in a weird way. I'm thankful that that those
people did because I could get back to at least
two of them to be like, hey, would you like
the Patreon A listener has dedicated that for you? So
it's pretty cool. But yeah, anyway, man, I do you know,
and yeah, be intentional with your money and all that stuff.

(01:08:25):
We're just one outlet, Like there's so many places. But
let me tell you this, as a Patreon, I'm not
just We're not just on Patroon as a business. We're
on't Patroon as people. Meaning I listen to and support
a lot of shows because I want them to be there.
And it is easy in the world where we're in

(01:08:46):
the day there was so much content, much of it
being low quality content, and people will watch any fucking
thing these days. But there's times where it's just like
you need to be intentional to let people know, like, uh,
I need you here. Yes, you know, so there's people
on Patreon I support that. It's just like, hey, I
just need I need y'all to know. I need y'all's

(01:09:07):
voices out there existing because y'all are a place I
go to for a refuge. Yes, at times, to be like,
thank you for existing in the way you do, and
if that means you know, X amount of dollars a
month to make sure y'all out there. It's not something
we just say for ourselves selfishly. It's something we practice
and preach at the same time. All right, he left

(01:09:30):
one more voicemail.

Speaker 4 (01:09:32):
Hey, Ralph, back in your ear holes.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
I just finished listening to.

Speaker 4 (01:09:37):
George Clooney's uncle. No, no, no, no. John Stewart's uncle, yes,
and he.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
Was his uncle was was three dimensional and he loved
it and he couldn't put him out of his life.

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
Well, I tell y'all what you want to know.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
Who else was three dimensional? To Mika Mauri, the founders
of Black Lives Matter, here's one, George Floyd. Now we
had a police record. I can't say for sure, but
he was three dimensional. You know, Trayvon Martin was three dimensional.
Check this out.

Speaker 8 (01:10:12):
Any of your so called woke associates who vote Democrat,
they're also three dimensional, which is probably why they vote
Democrat to begin with.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
So, you know, just bes about an that's just another
way of saying, I don't wanna I don't wanna dis
open this dude. I don't want to check.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
Him for his ignorance. So we're just gonna use kup
by y'all and all that h just to excuse this
person's presence in our life. And I mean, don't get
me wrong, you can do what you want if you
want to.

Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
A black ass grandpa or uncle in your life, so
be it. But that door swings both ways, you know,
and anyway that you know you say stuff like that
when you don't want to confront.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
What's going on, the ideas and mentalities that you have
swimming around in your own head.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
So that's it. I'm out five.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
That was put perfectly. That was put perfectly. That that
is the truth. And they don't want they don't want
to be honest with themselves, so they lie to all
of us. And that is the weakness of a lot
of these sort of white liberals. They pretend then to

(01:11:38):
be like progressive, radical type people, but they're not really
radical or that progressive. And by pivot, this is you know,
and like I keep trying to put it into words,
and I hope I'm doing justice to it. But this
is the realization I had about politicians in general as
a concept a few years back, when I was like, oh,

(01:12:02):
the politicians are there, so we won't admit we're killing
each other, right, Like John Stewart gets to be mad
at Schumer, like like, John Stewart is different or better
than Schumer. But the truth of the matter is Schumer's
probably done more for me and you than John Stewart's

(01:12:24):
ever done by sitting behind a desk making jokes, right like,
And I'm not and I'm not a Chuck Schumer apologist.
I'm just saying these are facts to me, Like this
ain't about standing for politicians or loving them as people.
I don't. I'm saying they exist so that you can
tell me the reason we are in a more perfect

(01:12:44):
union is because this politician fucked up, not because you
and your fucking uncle have to eat Thanksgiving to day.
It can't be that, right, It's gotta be Nancy Pelosi,
it's gotta be Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
They're avatars for instead of pointing the finger at your
fellow like the people like around you that you come
in contact with every day in your local communities, people
that you go to church with, people that you meet
at the grocery store, your nice neighbor, whatever it is,
instead of you pointing the finger at them, you can
take that anger and point it at an avatar.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
Nick because your uncle can't be a bad person because
that's your uncle, right. But Chuck Schumer's not my uncle
or yours, so you get to shit on him. Barack
Obama's not my uncle or yours, so you get to
shit on him. Meanwhile, they have actually worked in this
framework to try to do more for you than so

(01:13:42):
many other people put more on the line, but they're
not perfect, and they didn't get it all, and they
didn't do it easily, and they fought, and they didn't
not always came back home with the results you like.
So you just get to sit home on your privileged
azz seat and be like I ordered a Swiss cheese,
Like that's the real problem. And so the real problem
is that there's not a zero tolerance in life or

(01:14:06):
politically for this shit. Our weakness is showing up in politics.
It's not disconnected you. You can't be personally weak, but
expect a country to be politically strong against things you
aren't striting against. That's the realization I had. I'm much much.

(01:14:27):
I know people that are. There's probably people that stop listening,
probably think I'm some sort of like democratic apologist. I
think I'm just the realest motherfucker in the world when
it comes to this, Like I'm the last one that's
just willing to be like, no, it's not. It's like
I could we could easily get on here and just
bang on Democrats like every other fucking show, right, and

(01:14:49):
get bigger and more popular with their low information, lack
of specific specificity, talking that they do that very like
I don't really need to know, get it done, do something,
make it like it's so fucking easy. Is it's so easy?
You know people that they won't We talk about hip

(01:15:10):
hop and sometimes we talk about polic you know that
type of shit like we did. We don't know nothing,
but like to nolmost the specifics and be like this
is where this is fucked up and this is what
I think would change it, or that is not sexy, no,
like we instand with We make it seem like basically

(01:15:30):
the Democrats are just bitches who don't want it enough
like the rest of us, who got that dog in us?
That's just nothing. It doesn't matter your constituency, what area
the country you're in. It's all Twitter to us. It's
all Twitter to us, meaning that every area of America
has the same moral dogma and the same makeup and

(01:15:52):
the same progressive values and and for some reason these
Democrats just don't understand. Because we don't want to admit
we live in a country where some of our fellow
country people love guns more than they love children. We
don't want to admit that that's real, that that has
consequences other than just the Thanksgiving awkward conversation. That's what

(01:16:14):
bothers me about this shit. And I think you got
the heart of that, which is I've never heard John Stewart. Oh,
and I shouldn't say I never heard that. I'll just
say John Stewart's not gonna stop and make the case
for Ta Meeka Mallory that he makes for his uncle necessarily,
or if he does, he will think he has done

(01:16:35):
his job, meaning I made the case for George Floyd
and my uncle that is America, to which I would say,
that is not fairness, that's not true, that's not reality,
making the case for a person who's a victim of

(01:16:56):
a crime. And also, as a matter of fact, I'll
go I'll go one further. Man, y'all know how I feel.
I love Obama, great, greatest president in my lifetime. But
I think one of the biggest things he did that
was so smart but also kind of cynical when he

(01:17:17):
gave a speech about Jeremiah Wright and he compares him
to his racist grandmama, and that allowed white people especially
to feel really good and that's why they voted for him,
and they should. I mean, listen, that's kind of shit
you gotta do to win president. I get it, I'm
not crazy, but it allows the lot of fester, which

(01:17:38):
is that everything Jeremiah Wright has seen that led him
to say Goddamn America is completely different than what a
white woman who doesn't like black people has seen to
make her not like black people. Those two things are
not related, Okay. One of these people is informed with
their personal and history context to be like, this is

(01:18:03):
a country that has done a lot of evil to
a lot of people and it's not okay, and I'm
saying damn them for that. And the other person is like,
I heard black people are bad and their skin color
and their culture makes them bad and I'm prejudging them
for that. Two different things than me so so, but

(01:18:27):
that's the lie of America and that's what has to
exist for us to, I guess, continue to breathe air
around each other without killing each other every day, which
we are doing in mass shootings. But the point being
we this is the lie that everything is built on.
Is this sort of weird ass fake camaraderie where John

(01:18:49):
Stewart gets to tell me his uncle is great, but
think I'm supposed to give a fuck about that anyway.
That's so thank you you put it better than I did.
I'm sorry that was long. Lastly, we got some emails
play one more beat and catch out the side to
put commercials all right. Chrystal says, sharing this real actually

(01:19:45):
verbalizes I guess some issues I've noticed regarded social media
regarding the hyperbolea stories. I occasionally see obviously fake stories
that people are arguing in the comments about it, and
everyone knows it's fake, I hope, but argument is always.
But I know a friend who knows a friend who
just happened to regardless how rigulous situation is, then you
got dozens of hundreds of comments of arguing over completely

(01:20:06):
made up scenario that in nowhere in human history ever happened.
I feel like psychology of this, the psychology of this
permeates everything from LGBTQ rights to racism to relationships. Anyway,
it's thought this would be something you would be interested in.
And there was a Facebook link to a video about
I think it was like about coffee or something where

(01:20:27):
this guy was explaining how this cartoon. Let me see
if I could pull it up for you guys, But
it's a little long. I don't know if I played
the whole thing, but I'll play enough for y'all at
least get the gist of what she wrote In about
Okay so is author Jason K. Parkin, and he's explaining

(01:20:48):
there's a cartoon that says, can I interest you in
a soy latte? And the guy says, just coffee black.
She says, karral machiato, just coffee black ice, peppermint t mocha,
just coffee black frappe and then there's a woman in
the background. I was like, just give them the coffee
already or whatever. And this scenario has never happened to

(01:21:08):
anyone in the history of life. We've all ordered a
coffee before. No one's ever forced us to get a
different kind of coffee than the one that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
We ordered, right, because they's like, we're trying to get
you in and out of here. I don't have time
to fuck it. I'm not trying to upseal you on.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
So this is just literally like a made up scenario. Now, look,
maybe this is a comedic uh comic strip, and this
we're supposed to just take a chuckle of, Like, wouldn't
it be crazy if this did happen? But out of context.
Someone's presenting this like, God, I hate this scenario. Uh
oh wait, how do I turn it? Bry On? Okay?

Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
But they is in this comic right here. This boomer
comics has been making the rounds on Facebook for at
least a decade, and it portrays a brave, older marine
and a coffee shop where the barriist that says, can
I interest you in a soy latte? He says, no,
just coffee, black caramel macchiato. Just coffee, black iced pepper, mitmoca,

(01:22:04):
just coffee, black frappe. Now, the first thing you'll notice
is that this scenario has never occurred once anywhere in
the history.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Of the world.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
And if you say, well, yeah, but it's just a joke,
I'm saying the thing that it's exaggerating has never occurred.
But the perception of the world that caused the artist
to create this and motivated people to share this millions
of times is incredibly important because in reality, no one
ever took his black coffee from him. Every shop like

(01:22:35):
this has black coffee. He can also get it at
any gas station or any McDonald's drive through or from home.
All that happened is the range of options for other
people expanded, and he perceived that as persecution, as his
choice having been taken away. This is not political, This

(01:22:56):
is a human nature thing. Most people are not satisfy
to simply have the option to live their life the
way they want.

Speaker 1 (01:23:03):
Oh and now that he's moved his head, I see
the woman behind the person in the line in the
comic strip actually says for crying out loud, make up
your mind in order, so like she's part of the problem.
She's yelling at him. He just wants a black coffee,
and she as a customer. She's turned on him somehow.

Speaker 5 (01:23:22):
They also want to feel normal. They want to walk
around and see that most other people have made the
same choice they made. And if over time they see
that their own personal preference has become less popular and
even worse, is now seen as being basic or unsophisticated,
they will perceive the mere existence of those other options

(01:23:45):
as a criticism of them, even if they've never heard
anybody voice that criticism. This is why it's so important
for some people to imagine the archetype of the angry vegan,
even though one I have never run into one of
those people in real life, not even one and to
meet statistically is more popular now than it has ever
been in the history of the world. There is basic

(01:24:07):
psychological comfort in knowing that you're conforming to what the
world wants, and in the reassurance that that world is
not going to change. And this is why it doesn't
help to simply tell people you can keep doing the
thing you were doing. No one's stopping you from drinking
your coffee, because it's not abound to coffee. It's the
fear that if everybody else stops drinking coffee the way

(01:24:28):
I drink it, then I will become an outcast, and
that is scary to someone who suddenly is remembering how
they have always treated outcasts.

Speaker 1 (01:24:37):
Yeah, man, makes sense to me. Let's go to the
next thing. Bridgett Rising or Brie writ saying high ride
and care. My name is Brian. I'm an avid listener
and a roller coaster enthusiast slash content creator. I'm listening
to the episode that Menja Six Flags America closing. This

(01:24:58):
was my home part all my life. Home park is
usually the amusement park closest to you, or the way
you grew up going to the most. So I was
to be Carowin. Yes, the closing was a corporate decision
that was decades into making due to lack of investment,
which caused lower attendance. Those of us in the coaster
community believe racial bias and the demographic the park served
to be a huge component. Oh not the coaster community.

(01:25:21):
I'm saddened by this because now I have to drive
eighty miles to the next closest park when six Flags
of America was only twenty five minutes away. Our community
in the DMV lost the childhood staple along with losing
the commanders. This is a big loss for the PG County.
For all that said, yes, roller coasters and rides can
be moved to new locations. They are carefully disassembled and

(01:25:41):
reassembling the new foundations at the new location. This could
be another park at another park in six Flags chain
or another amusement operator. They could even be sold to
park to a park overseas. For an example closer to
your home, the Nighthawk roller coaster that used to be
at Carolins came from California originally. Yeah, I might put
it in back here behind the apartment. Thanks for covering

(01:26:03):
this niche news that hit close to home ps, I
think you follow my roller coaster ig account zero underscore
breed underscore roll. Oh I do follow you. I did
not know you listen to the show, but I'd definitely
be liking y'all videos because it's really just like black
women tworking at the amusement park, which I mean those
are it's black women working. You kind of got me

(01:26:24):
into all of it, you know what I mean. Like,
I'll show y'all one of the videos, but every time
they come across my feed, I always throw them a
heart emoji. But yeah, putting the Fiesta in six Flags
Fiesta tests. Look, it's just black women walking around tworking
and enjoined the park. Yes, this is one hundred my

(01:26:47):
This is my type of carrying on right here. That's
the truth. At the music part, let's go, y'all done
broke my IG model algorithm to get up in there too,
Like yeah, so yeah, I know y'all's account. Okay, not
to sound like a creep, but yes, it was black
women's t working. I was like, oh, what is this now?

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
Roller coasters?

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
It really wouldn't matter what it was, honestly, once you
add black women tworking to it, I'm like, Okay, so
we're doing pan fried dumplings and twerking.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
Okay, fine, yeah, roller coasters, tork and I'm here for it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
Michelle says, hey rider, Karen. At first, when you started
talking about Max b I wanted to yeh who like
Karen does well? Who news? But I trust your commentary,
so I just said, let Rod cook. I was listening
to the Pot as I was leaving for work, so
I had to pause the Pot and screenshot what you said.
There's a nihilism and not leading to a needing to
have a solution, but being upset at the problem at

(01:27:40):
rap terms, that was a bar. Thank you, Thank you.
I'll be thinking about stuff the burning down to the ground.
Folks on social media have no tangible solution for what
comes next. Incremental change may seem too slow to them,
but there's something to be said about how slow and
steady wins the race. If we were consistently voting in
every election due to down to Public Service Commission and

(01:28:00):
then we would have we would be able to see
some results. It. It really is scary how true that is.
It's like if our wherewithal was just a little stronger,
what we wouldn't even had nothing to fight about.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
We wouldn't you know what, we would be going? How
left can you go? Like, honestly, like a lot of people,
a lot of the people that like extreme left of
like y'all not left enough. If people were consistent, if
people continually vote regardless, own cycle off cycle, all the
cycles and shit like that, you would literally we would
literally being duking it out to see how left can

(01:28:37):
we go.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
That's where Republicans accomplished through jerrymandering. So basically they made
districts where no Democrat can win. And once they rigged
it that way, what their elections became is what person
can be the most right wing crazy pants? And that's
how you end up with people like Marjorie Taylor Green Lawn,

(01:29:02):
all these folks that were like, how the hell is
because that person that first had that seat was not.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
Crazy like that first person.

Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
When they jerrymandered that shit, jerrymandered themselves out of a
job because they were like, oh, yeah, I'm a reason
for Republican and I'll represent my district. But what they
found is when the con when there's only competition from
the right, you just keep going right. So America could
have a more left leaning country if people decided to
keep that same energy every like. It shouldn't take the

(01:29:32):
governments shutting down in ten months of this administration back
in office for America to have a blue wave, but
somehow that's what it keeps fucking taking. We also had
a blue wave two years after Trump got elected the
first time. I'm sick of these rubber bands snapping back
trying to make it up to everybody. Why can't you
just keep the same energy and we, instead of blaming

(01:29:53):
the people, blame the politicians. It's the people. I keep
the same energy. I don't need a politician to keep
put a battery in my fucking back the message don't
need to reach me through Oh man, I was only
gonna vote because so and so gave a good speech.
That's some real privileged bullshit. Anyway, Stripping video from audio
the easy way. It's from Zoe at Backlook Cinema. It says,

(01:30:14):
dear Rod, in the previous episode of your show, you
mentioned an issue using headliner to strip the video of
your podcast episode and uploaded the YouTube, only to find
a headliner added a bunch of ads to your audio.
That's a sucky thing for headliner do. Luckily, there's an
easy way to do it yourself. Someone else probably told
you already, but in case they haven't, they have it.
Audible is a great way to strip the video from

(01:30:35):
your show. For those that don't know, Audible is a
free audio editing software that many podcasters use. There's no ads,
no subscriptions, and there's routinely updated every six months or so.
It so happens that the best freely available software I've
ever used Audible. I thought Audible was the company for
books and shit.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
I guess it must be a different version of Audible.
I guess they made an agreement. We don't go on
your turf and you on our turf.

Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
To strip the video out. All you have to do
is drag, drag, and drop your video foul into Audible.
The app will automatically strip out the video and leave
you with a wave foul that you can use the
mix and edit. Once you satisfied with the audio, all
you have to do is export it to MP three. Oh,
but that's the thing. I had the MP three, I

(01:31:22):
didn't have the video, so that's I had the opposite problem.
But you said you can upload the MP three foul
to YouTube. I didn't know you could do that. Maybe
I'll try directly uploading the MP three to YouTube and
see if maybe that works, because I I didn't know
you could do that part. If that's the part, If

(01:31:44):
that's all I gotta do, I'll just do that next time,
because what I did was had I had a headliner
turned my audio into a video. So it was the
opposite issue. But thank you for right now, and I'll
see what I can do. Not that you'll need to
do the same time soon. This method is available if
you need it. Also, being able to strip the audio

(01:32:05):
from the video with cap cut using different steps help.
This has been helpful. Also, if there's a woman wearing
nipple rings in a way that I can see them,
I'm gonna look. I won't have any shame about it,
and I won't apologize. Nipple rings are like, hey, look
at us. I see that as an invitation. In fact,
it might be culturally insensitive if I don't stare and
admire with what's being put on display. You know what,

(01:32:27):
I think you're right, but I also am scared. I
think you're right, though, I think when you leave a
house with the nipple ring like prominently displayed, it's a
y'all gonna get these titties day for you. And I
think my guess is I don't have nipple rings, So
maybe I'm wrong completely, but my guess is you walking

(01:32:50):
around like, uh, y'all better see these titties. What the
fuck gets?

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:32:56):
I hope y'all don't think I just walked up in
here titties, just titty in with the motherfucking nipple rings
accoutre moms like po pay pal and y'all just look
at me dead in my eyes. I want to see
y'all struggle to look me in my eyes. I want
to see that. I want to see your face go
through that like uh huh, yes, ma'am, what's on the ceiling?

(01:33:16):
I need to see that, you know. Ah, man, you
guys find out how much about me through this show.
But that's the kind of integrity and honesty you guys
playing like. That's what y'all need, That's what y'all come
here for. That's what makes us different. But one of
the groups I'm in and read it, and my group,
I mean, I never comment. I just thumbs up or whatever.
Araw up is no bra that's a great group and

(01:33:41):
it's just women posting like went brothers today. And then
on one of the women posted of a dress that
was kind of like it was a dark dress, but
it was almost see through ish, like not see but
it was see through, and she literally went on a
date with someone. They took a picture of her in

(01:34:03):
the dress without her face, but just where on the
table you can see basically titties in the dress, and
she was like, our waiter could barely pay attention. I
was like, she did this on purpose because I'm the
kind of person that would be a waiter, but I
have anxiety, and I'd be like, oh my god, that
woman thinks I'm a fucking pervert because I keep trying.

(01:34:24):
I'm trying not to look at it. It's like she
wants me looking at titties, and I'm making this up.
Why would any woman she's on a date with her husband.
He's gonna punch me in my fucking face. Oh god, please,
I hope I never had to go back to this table.
And meanwhile she's like, take a picture. We're gonna post
this on the Reddit. He can't stop looking at these titties.
Oh we got on, honey, we got his ass today.

(01:34:45):
Like anyway, people, I was like that's funny. But that's funny.
Some mean women are walking around and y'all could just,
like as a prank, be walking around and be like, Hey,
today's a day I feel like fucking with everybody. Y'all
gonna get these titties. Let's just see how the day goes.
What a fun experience it must be. All right, y'all,

(01:35:06):
that's it, Thanks for listening. We'll be back throughout the week,
I know Tuesday for sure. We have Mike Kaplan as
a guest on the eighteenth, so making sure you're there
for that because you know we love Mike Kaplan and
everything else is just as needed. Okay, we might be
going to Hornets Gas. We might not. I don't know.
Until next time.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
I love you,

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.
