Speaker 1 (02:03):
I'm currently.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
The Blackout Tips at gmail dot com my email dress
so I'm currently working with anyone who has any issues
technical whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
If you just have questions.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
About like, oh, my renewal is this, but maybe I
want to switch to Patreon, the black Out Tips at
gmail dot com. It's the easiest way to contact us.
No no DMS, no no letter carriers, no, Yeah, so
just emails the blackout tips at gmail dot com. I
promise you that's the easiest way and I'll get to
you guys as fast as I can. But yeah, people

(02:37):
are taking advantage of it. People are signing up, and
it's really important for us. Man, Like the thing for
this is the cell is every year. This is like
a good area to build up, like, you know, some
reserves for our money and our plans for our show
when we do stuff like live shows, travel, you know, uh,

(03:00):
the stuff I'm doing on our website right now, I
just spend a bunch of money to try to update
our website and I'm gonna wait until after the sale
is over so I can make sure everything. You know,
I need everything to be working for right now. But
we got I got to overhaul some stuff on the
website behind the scenes, hopefully stuff that goes smooth that

(03:20):
y'all don't even really notice it. But my point being,
there's expenses all the time during this show. We gotta
pay our sales as well. So this sale helps us
out tremendously. And so many of y'all sell con this
is crazy. I mentioned it on the show, but like
people are really taking it up on me, and honestly,
it makes me a little bit emotional to think about.

(03:42):
But like, there are some of y'all who will not
just pay for yoursels. Y'all put extra on it. So
y'all can give somebody a subscription. And I have given
out probably four or five subscriptions already to people that
you know had to they had to quit their subscription

(04:03):
for whatever reason or or you know, or they just
was like, hey, I would like if you still have
a gift subscription, I would like one. And so far,
like I said, I think five like a couple people
pay for other Like one dude pay for just two people.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
He didn't even get it for itself.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah. So and once again, if you want to do that,
email me the black Out Tips at gmail dot com.
It just, you know, it's a little extra work, but
I like, I like.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Doing it for our fans.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
It's kind of like when we do a live show,
some of y'all will buy tickets and can't even attend,
and then somebody else will hit us up and be like, hey,
can I get that ticket? And I love that, you know,
and I know bigger shows, other people like you can't
do that with you know, ticket Master or whatever the fuck,
but being able to do that for our fans, uh,
it really does feel like, you know, shout out to

(04:56):
the holiday spirits, shout out to the vibes, shout out
to community, as it really does feel like a community
when y'all do stuff like that, and y'all don't have
to do that.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
You're not obligated to do that.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
You're not obligated to even sign up for Black Friday
for yourself, Like, you don't have to do any of
this shit. But I know, especially in the economic times
that we're in, and I know with everybody going through
what they're going through and people like boycotting, you know,
people saying, hey, let's spend our money intentionally on black businesses.
I think this is a small business Saturday or whatever,

(05:27):
like this is the small business Day of the year
or something at which we're definitely a small business. So
when y'all do stuff like that, it just tremendously helps
us our warms, our hearts. So thank you, and I
believe to sell in is on the ninth of December.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yes to kind of reiterate roches said thank you very much.
It means a lot to us, and you know, I'm
very grateful and I'm very thankful that we have a
loving and kind audience to be like, you know what,
I got the five for the person who ain't got
the five, and I really do appreciate that. And also
on pay is from that date forward. But if you

(06:03):
want all the archives, like everything that we've ever ever done,
subscribe through the website. Just let y'all know, because there
is a difference.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Okay, yep, that's true. All right, let's get into it
with the feedback for everything. First of all, some of
y'all gave us some money, and we have to shout
you guys out, because without y'all, what will we even
be doing. Y'all just gave us money for no reason,
just to say we appreciate you, and we'll give you

(06:33):
a shout out for that.

Speaker 2 (08:42):

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Just a cluestion.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Ah, yes, thank you Ice for those lovely messages. After
ruining my city for two weeks, right, harassing brown and
black people and locking people love making all the business clothes,
construction shut down.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Looking up the restaurant owls are my favorite places.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
But I appreciate y'all for the money that these folks
won't leave five star reviews.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
For all Right, we only did two episodes this week,
and you.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Would think, why are we even doing the feedback show?
It's just two episodes. I thought that, but oh my god,
what the fuck? Can we do anything without y'all?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
We appreciate it. It's been busy Thanksgiving. We done been
the Horny's games. We got to see family. We've been
having a good time this week.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
We took a couple of days off. Y'all didn't take
a day off of these comments. The first episode is
a feedback show, three, one, eight and nine. Woke up
this morning, shot myself for bear. We had seventeen comments.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Y'all, What the hell are we talking about? Now?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Listen. I'm gonna be honest.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
I feel like this is becoming a thing between Apia, Sean,
and Raphael.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Whatever's happening with this.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I don't know when it will exhaust this limits for me,
because I gotta be honest with y'all.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Y'all listen to show for honesty.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
I'm sure there's a point where I'll be like, I
don't care about these pigeons, and it's been turning into
pigeon fan fiction for seven months and I'm done. I
don't know when that day is. It might be today,
it might be in the middle one of these comments.
But I'm just letting y'all know it's nothing we said
that required seventeen comments on this episode, and how many

(10:46):
of them are about the show is what's important here.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
If y'all just want to talk to each other, I
might skip those, okay.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Apia says this show could have a subtitle The Black
Guy who Tips Processing your animal trauma in a great community.
We had talked about snakes, black dolphins, bear racism and were.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Discussed with the the p bird.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I'm afraid the name now name now in length. This
is just what I remember and chickens, thank you for
giving us a space, even in though those discussion sometimes
take over the show.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Obviously need the process is strong.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
I think we need an official animal to show, and
it's I don't want to be thrown out, So I'll
say the black dolphin, I mean, black dolphins is pretty
pretty dope animals. You know, they do kind of fit
the vibe of the show because people call them killer wells,
but they cuddly. You know, just leave them alone, They'll
leave you alone. Stay out they waters. Sean says, your

(11:39):
comments about the redhead pigeon remind me of the Prejudice
song by Tim Mintioned. A couple of g's, an R
and an E and an I and an end, just
six little letters all jumple together have caused damage that
we may never mend. Only a ginger can call another
ginger ginger. All right, all right, Sean says, while rose

(11:59):
pigeon is a great culinary alternative. Oh my god, what
is happening. First of all, I'm sorry, that's not even
the first comment. This is a whole thread. Yeah, oh
my god, I'm gonna show y'all. I'm gonna show y'all
in the chat what this is because because like this
is what I have to do to do this show.

(12:20):
So this is Raphael's comment, right, and then Apia and
then Sean and then John Baby John, then Raphael again,
then Sean. Like, this is what I'll be going through
over here, y'all.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'm reading the.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Whole even the block close.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's a Reddit post at this point.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Hilarious.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
I thought we created I thought some shoe booty had
created something for this or something so I won't have
to do this with my life.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
But okay, that's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
All right, here we go. Let's see what.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
They find the top of it.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I'm trying on the top of the post.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, because like it starts getting a little murky about Okay,
so it looks like Raffael else the first Okay, Okay.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I am thankful to the Blackoutells nation.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
I would like to take this moment to be thankful
for those who don't need the sign to specify employees
or citizens as far as it becomes says beware a
polar bear and you dig it. I'm also thankful for
all on the same page with my pigeon eradication plans. Yes,
some woke folks gonna throw in genocide in there, but
before you fall for their propaganda, just remember that we
ain't in the nineteenth century.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Neither are we.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
In the Game of Thrones era plus, it was Raving's
them ninjas used. So what has a pigeon done for
you now? To get them out of here? Roast them up?
Ib just says, I bring new facts to the table
in the suicide by bear case.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
I checked it out. What does they have to do
with Oh, because he's right up the belly.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Bree Ward Island has no permanent population that this is
where it happened, So there are only employees to warn
other people simply aren't there, right, so they shouldn't be there.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Not that for the record.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Let's say somehow you get lost, you wake up on briefwoard, Allen,
you see a sign that say employees beware of polar bears.
I still think you should go ahead and turn around.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
I don't think employees.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
I don't think you should be I'm not an employee.
Technically that sign is not for me. I will continue
towards what.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
The polar bears are.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I don't work here, so I don't care.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
The polar bears can't read the signs.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
They cannot the polar bear, says employee, non employe. Y'all eat,
y'all bitch.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
The polar bear isn't like, can I see your badge
first before we do this?

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Can I see your work id?

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Employees are the only ones in the ability to read
on this island. Unless some birds, maybe superior p birds,
learn to read secretly. The sign can only be read
be directed at employees.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Sean says.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
The word on the sign makes more sense now, But
either way, don't mess with polar bears because they will
eat your dumb ass. By the way, Ry, I thought
about the clever line the clever girl just before you
said it, and it was chef's kiss.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'm just in the day.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
It would work running data onto research projects and working
on a research funding proposal for a third while dealing
with a midterm grading and managing Ninja prepared preparing for Christmas.
So I am not responding as much as I used to.
Don't worry, Sean. They apparently seventeen comments and they've.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Got your cousin.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Everybody take a week off, John says the guy who
said clever girl in Jurassic Park, wasn't he an employee
with a gun?

Speaker 1 (15:23):
He was? And did it help no?

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Also, I love Karen's gut reaction with Rod Revell's pictures
of the characters in the story. This time she got
me when Rod showed her a picture of the polar bear,
as she said, it looked like it weighed.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
A few hundred pounds.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Karen lol and NFL Lineman weighs a few hundred pounds.
According to the Internet, an adult male polar bear can
weigh up to seventeen hundred pounds.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Wow, that's a lot. It's almost a ton.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Also, they can run up to twenty five miles per
hour and stand up to ten feet tall on the
high leg.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Anyway, like Rod.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Said, if apex predators are in your area, stay inside.
I hope you don't have to use your gun to
keep them from breaking in to eat you.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Right, I said a few hundred pounds, because that's a
lot to me, and so for me, i'm you know,
you make it sound even worse than my mind went.
My mind went, you know that that's a few hundred pounds.
I ain't know what I didn't know it was in
the thousands of pounds.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Briar breethoard Allen says, Ron, the Raphael is where I'll
run to when the zombies arrived. Nobody will think to
go there. I already speak crow and raving along with orcas.
Everyone who laughed at me will beg after they see
me posting videos riding around on the polar Bear reminded
everyone about the signs don't come here or you die.
I'll be eating a rose pigeon too. Man, I'm thankful

(16:40):
for signing ventors. Sean says, I saw the sign and
it opened up my eyes. I saw the sign. No
one's gonna drag you up to get into the light
where you belong.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
But where do you belong?

Speaker 3 (16:49):
I thought you didn't have time, Sean. I'm back on
the research projects. You just giving me work.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Sean, lie, you lie, Shank. That's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here come two more comments by Sean. Y'all giving me home,
y'all giving me homework and shit. So first pully stored
rice can breed.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Okay, this was fair, This is fair. I did ask.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
I knew Sean would be the one to explain this.
It wasn't so much giving you homework as much as
mean predicting. You would want to explain this because you
like explaining shit.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Sean says, y'all give.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Me homework and shit. So first pully stored rice can breed.
Backless serious and oldorless flavorless bacteria that can cause food
poison and or death. Because there is no way to
know from flavor or smell that there is a culture growing,
it is important to store leftover rice promptly.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
The best way to store steam rice.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Is if you're not using that you are not using
for fried rice or mitch kreos.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I don't know what milk.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Creous is in the freezer because in the fridge it
tends to dry out in the freezer. Huh okay. For
fried rice and milk creates, it is better to have
your rice dried out a little. For fried rice, you
can store it in the freezer a fridge, but it's
best to reheat it in a walk or frying pant.
If you are too poor to afford a walk with
the look listen, First of all, I don't feel like

(18:09):
walk are necessarily that expensive over over time, and if like,
I've had walks of various quality, of course, but I'm
telling you it's less than you think for a could
quality walk.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Man like y'all may look into that. Y'all should look
into that.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Man.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Walk is a clutch ass. It's a clutch.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's clutching the kitchen eg it, and you don't just
have to use it for like the traditional dishes of
like uh it stir fried and Asian dishes. I use
the walk the other day to make I made a
spaghetti in the walk before because it's just like a
big bowl and yeah, like it's listen, anything with some sauce,
man and walk won't do you wrong.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Okay, nix it around and ship. That could be a
good Christmas gift for y'all.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Man, check out them walks man anyway with the little
rice or over a hot flame. If you have an
induction stove other than questioning your life decisions, you can
use high heat, but you should stir rather than toss.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Sean you should says you should reheat.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Steam rights in the cell of fame rap that you
frozen in on five hundred to six hundred watts.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
I don't mean I don't have a wattach but no
my on any of my appliances other than the microwave.
And I can't control the watch, like the watch is
what the watch.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Is, WATS is whatever the way watch today?

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I don't know that dif's between medium WATS and
high watch. I'm assuming there's a percentage, but they don't
tell me the percentage and says, just heard about Jail
running for Congress. Not in his district, so I can't
vote for him, but would definitely support him.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
That's just like his comedy fans. Okay, he's prepared for that.
This is what he was born to do. His comedy
careers prepare him for this political career. A bunch of
us wanting to help but just not actually being able
to help, just like I.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Give you money, but I can't vote for your baby.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Oh I live one street out of there.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Oh man, I'm one state over.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Did I show up to your meet and greet and
get and want to sign it?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
I did. I show it up.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
But guess what, I am not in your district, and
I cannot help you that. That's a real thing that
happened to Jail. I've been following. It's the thought that
doesn't count.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
And then yeah, they like, we love you, Jail.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
And then I feel like, once the signature turn is over,
whether he reaches it or not, I hopefully he reaches it,
but even if he don't, I'm I'm anticipating dozens of
people email and writing leaving comments.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
I didn't even know.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
You was running for congress person, Jail. I would have
been there if I would have known. The algorithm show me.
I couldn't have believed that you was running. I saw
all these videos that gave the polls closed.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
And you know what Jail gonna do. He gonna like
his political career his comedy career on five. But at
the same time.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, he's gonna be cussing out constituents and she can't
treat them like your comedy fans. When they punch up
a joke, they well, somebody tries to punch up a policy.
I'll suggest you take it in stride, buddy, until you
get that, until you get officially elected, I'll say you
take it in stride.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
When they try to punch up one of your policies.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Don't don't flip out on them and be like, oh,
do you not think I didn't think of that?

Speaker 1 (21:18):
And you're not embarrassed to ask me that.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Don't do that the dumb ask questions.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, don't do that. They'll let them. People cook Man.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
They need to be heard and they need to be felt, Okay,
they don't need to be called stupid just yet, and
then the other people are.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Gonna be like, man, what day is your signing? Saturday?
I'm out of town.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yes, Oh too bad, that's the day's mischief. Oh man,
I got a concert.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
I drove right by it.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
I actually work at that Starbucks, but I took the
day off when I heard you was coming.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Carmen J says me up here.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Wondering if Evie is from leonor everybody related there, and
she says nope. I'm in a small town in Brunswick County.
The biggest city is closest to it's Womington. I won't
name it just in case my ops are listening. Yeah,
I wouldn't name it either, because I know y'a ain't
got no arms in there. Comments on YouTube, Hey Rod
and Karen, you guys have me lol, As using usual

(22:12):
said sharing, thank you for bringing a smile to my day.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
You're welcome. Leslie put a hard emoji.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Cassandra says, seriously, Megan Kelly has three teenagers, How the
fuck can she justify these insane age comments.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I went in to look at the ages of her kids.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
And saw this y eight sixteen, Yardly fourteen, and Thatcher twelve.
Each born two years apart through IVF. Republicans only fight
and care about things that affect them, so.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
She was pro IVF.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
She spoke out against what Alabama was trying to do
because some embryos are destroyed during IVF. I guess her
rich white privilege makes her think her teenagers are in
no danger of ever being sexually assaulted, so she doesn't
feel it would affect her teenager when saying the awful
comments of an eight year old is not like a
fifteen year old. You know the other thing too, And
I think about this a lot with especially conservative parents.

(23:03):
If something happened to your kid, are they even gonna
tell you?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Because I will.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
If I was your kid and I was sexually assaulted,
I would not tell your victim blaming ass anything. I
would take it to the grave. I know you part
of the problem.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
And if you.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Dig your heart did somehow grow three sizes and you
treated me like a human fucking being. I know, because
of all your broadly public stances, you either would have
to like completely do a U turn and take the
hit on your whatever personal brand, or you would just
ignore what happened to me and it'll be a secret,

(23:38):
private shame, like like we've seen that happen with like
Dick Cheney where he's anti gay and then his daughter's
gay and he's like, I love the gays now now
that I think about it. And a lot of it
is because it's they're so a moral that they it's
not really politics, it's just grifting. So a lot of
them it's just they never believed the fu fucked up

(24:00):
shit they said in the first place. So this person
like Megan Kelly, in her heart of heart, she knows
sexual assaults happened. She knows what that man did to
those kids was wrong. I really do think that she
knows that, and if it would have happened to her,
she knows it wrong. If it would happen to her kids,
she knows is wrong. But at the same time, she
knows the money is over there to say it ain't wrong,

(24:22):
to mitigate right, to say, you know what, I'm one
of these good Trump people. You can trust me. That's
what the money is. Keep supporting me, guys. And she's
a coward, and it's sad that to see people like
that get ahead in life. But she's a very vile
person and very cold hearted and dog whistling and all

(24:42):
sorts of isms and stuff, and it's just sad to
see people like that prosper. But yeah, if I was
one of her kids, I wouldn't tell her shit if
it happened to me, because I know how you already
said how you feel in public about this. So no,
Trey Duce five to five six, as Karen Ro, Karen
Rod is trying to save your life. If you ever

(25:06):
see a sign that says warning bears nothing else, the
sign says of anything you think they left out matters.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
The hike is over after that.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
So I'm trying to say, buddy, and I agree. So
I'm trying to say, all right, let's get to comments
on Spotify for this episode. We got one comment. Curly
Nikki says, Hi, Rid and Karen family doc here. Reheated
rice syndrome is called back and less serious. The main

(25:34):
cause is leaving the rice out at room temperature for
less than two hours or greater than two hours, and
then reheating it later.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
The bacteria is not killed by heat.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
If you put it in the refrigerator in a timely fashion,
there should be no issue and you can feel safety.
Reheat symptoms start within twenty four hours and are similar
to that of a stomach flu, diaria, nausea, and vomiting.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Most people are good within a few days with supportive care. Yeah,
I feel like that's one of those things.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
That almost everybody has probably had before. But the vastal
jurors of us are not gonna get sick enough to die,
need to go to the you know, somebody to the
doctor or whatever. And I bet you it's just certain
times people die from whatever, you know, whatever random reason

(26:21):
they died because of this, And those are the stories
that make the newspaper, and those are the ones that
scared the ship out of us because we're like, oh
my god.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, that in the combination of other things that they
might be going on in their bodies.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, it's just like rice killing people, Like that's scary
as hell.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Every culture got rice, you, every culture? All right, let's
go to the next episode. Should I you know what
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to go some commercials here,
because y'all won't learn your lessons if I don't.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
I'm sorry commercials.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Let's go crypto, all right. The next episode and the

(27:27):
last one of the other week, is thirty one nineties,
the superhead of politics. All right, we got six comments
on this one, so not enough pigeon talk.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Apparently.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Ipire says the Turkey story has just proving my point
about the subtitle running. Raphael says, nine, here we go again.
Sean is sharpening his pen, while Roder's gonna need.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
A bigger drink. Joe, I do agree on the subtitles.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Haha.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
See Rod, I love you, not trying to overwork you.
Parabo Karan out.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
He still made me say that nickname that's not catching on.
Sean said, I.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Refuse your mama call. You're on the Rafael, I'm calling,
you're on the Rafael.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Sean said, stay sharp, and you don't have to get sharp.
We're on the Raphael also says I just had to
shout out them kids at all the colleges that didn't
give that ugly soul sucker Candice own so called bles
it any energy. And would you look at that, It
just fizzled out like a vampire from a twob movie trash,
as the Great Don would say. Made me wonder if

(28:29):
other kids have boycotted folks such as the White MLK,
would that Ezra Klent inspiration become a name. I would
like to see what happened if f FM you spread
to other colleges.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
But apart from they not like us, that.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Point you brought up about our wanting to continue to class,
the clashing on social media would buy one hundred percent
degree made me feel like many of us also get
a high from confrontation on campuses or from watching them. Yeah,
you know one of the things that, Man, I'm so
glad you brought this up, because one of the things
I never got to say about the Charlie Kirk thing
that I I didn't see anybody say. Honestly, now I

(29:03):
think about it. It's been a while, so maybe I
just missed it. But uh, one of the biggest things
about Charlie Kirk that made him huge was how many
kids showed up with their own phones like they were
also siphoning off of him to be their own social
media moment, even to the point that when he was murdered,

(29:26):
there were people live on social media that were streaming
it like content, not like they just witnessed a horrific
murder in front of them, but like people literally on
their tiktoks and or twitch or whatever, being like, hey,
it's your boys such and such shout out to this man.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
It's crazy up in the year something just happened. To
call it Kirk, like, we're cooked.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
That's a that's a cooked state of mind that you
pick up the phone to go live and you didn't
even know if they were.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Done shooting people at that time.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Nope, didn't have to have any idea. And the thing
is this, and my personal opinion, this would have been
covered completely different if he wasn't the target, Like if
they would have just went, not trying to find it,
went and just kind of just shot everybody at the crowd,
this would have been a mass shooting and people would
have ignored the fuck out of it. Yeah, we'd have
talked about Charlie Kirk, but because he was the single
person in the.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
S that was an assassination, right, But yeah, it just
says But I just think it says a lot about
the social media of it all because a lot of
those people, I would presume, especially with them being college students,
I would guess the majority of those people don't agree
with Charlie Kirk. There's some people that will, but just
that age of person in America typically does not lean

(30:39):
into Charlie Kirk, there's like a percentage. But even like
you know, I'm reading a book about Stephen Miller called
Hate Manger, and even Stephen Miller at Duke stood out
like everybody wasn't that conservative and loud and and.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Disruptive, like there's something just trying to make it.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Yeah, these people at that age are either liberal some
sort of like political agnostic, or if they're conservative, it's
like a quiet type of conservatives. Right, it's not a
let's get on the yard and argue. So I think
what Charlie Kirk was really doing was just putting on
events that were turning into content in all kinds of directions,

(31:20):
and even arguing with Charlie Kirk was content for certain people.
Showing up to those jubilees and all that stuff. It's
content for a certain type of person who's like, hey,
yes it is. I Maybe my points aren't good, maybe
I'm not the best argument, but you can see it
in the I don't even watch the jubilees, but you
can see it in the eclipse that circulate online. People
are dressing up like they're peacockying, Like, yes, people are,

(31:43):
They're coming with a whole like motif when they leave
the house to look good on camera and to draw
certain attention. Of course, forget whatever your whatever their allegiance is,
whether it's like I'm twenty conservatives arguing with it, don't
matter which the twenty are or who the it's content
and people are turning into influences of content creators more importantly,

(32:07):
and I think to a certain degree, arguing with these
fake bots or these arguments that just don't really have
any substance to them, they won't change your mind.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
No one will grow from it.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
There will not be a consensus or a compromise reached.
No one will admit that, oh, we've resolved this issuet.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Next time, when.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Charlie Kirk shows up, he'll be like, actually I talked
to someone about that. I'm not talking about that anymore.
They were right, I was wrong. That will never happen.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
So we're just doing it for the content and the attention.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
And yeah, I think that's why people argue with bots
that they know are faith Even those accounts that got
busted on Twitter last week, many of them are just
still tweeting. Like so they if you found out they
were Indian, but they were tweeting, they were like Kendrick
Lamar Page and they were treating the N word and
pretending to be black. They might address that's it, but

(33:00):
they're still putting out videos and content because they don't
really care.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Right, they don't care, and the people that consume it
don't care, and nobody want. Everybody wants to admit that
this is the way I view. Everybody wants to admit
that they are the most caring and most concerned and
everything that they talk about is the most important thing. Ever,
it's not for the for the most part, regardless of

(33:24):
how much you use the internet and how little you
use the internet, for the time that you're out there
on the internet, because you're out there, you're out there
for self purposes, like for self purposes, you're out there
to be seen. You out there to be hurt. Even
if you're lurking, you're still present. And so you being present,
somebody's watching you. You know what I'm saying. You You
you claim you're watching other people. Somebody's watching you too,

(33:46):
because we're all kind of just looking and staring at
each other to see what happensted yes, yes, yes, people. Yeah.
And the thing is a lot of times I've learned
this over time, and I think I kind of got
it more about you know, celebrity and then kind of
social influences, and they kind of all fall in the
same category to an extent. Something happens. They are the sun,

(34:08):
and everybody else's rotates around them, sucking off their rays,
and they take those rays and they make their own
content off of whatever the event that happens. And it
just happens over and over and over again, and everybody
always acts shocked, and everybody always acts surprised, and everybody always,
you know what I meant to want to clutch their pearls.
But I've been on the Internet long enough to know
that this is how the cycles goes. And you give

(34:29):
it twenty four to four the eight hours and no
one will care.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
He goes on to say, the clashing on social media,
but Box makes me feel like many of us are
getting high from the conversations on campuses or from watching them.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
We are, absolutely It's why j Believe works.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
People get a dopamine hit from the engagement.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
With stuff that triggers their argumentative.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Like part of their brain, you know, like oh ooh man,
you know, and I'm so I'm so wary of it
because there are people who I think are extremely sketchy
who lend well to stuff like Jubilee or twenty Conservatives

(35:20):
versus such and such. But they're not good people and
they don't do good work, and they're still in it
for themselves one hundred percent. It's always about their brand,
and they'll sell you the opposite point tomorrow if they can.
But you know, even with someone that people consider righteous,
are good like Meddi Hassan. Meddi Hassan's like, I'm just

(35:41):
so good at debating. I wrote a book about debating.
You can debate and that, like, are we even sure
that debating is a worthwhile thing.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
When it's just wrastling?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Right?

Speaker 3 (35:59):
When they're there's no real thing coming from this debate. No,
I didn't watch Minds Changed. I watched you, you know,
try to like stunt on somebody, but y'all don't have
the same value system. So y'all both left that thinking
y'all stunning on each other. Like everyone that already agrees

(36:20):
with Meddi Hassan goes, Mahdi slammed him down.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
That's just how you do it.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Everybody that already disagree with media Assan goes, that didn't
even change my mind. It was the other guy who
won this debate, and that guy goes and to his
newfound popularity of being on the same stage as media
sign and goes, I slammed the woke di liberal down
to the ground with my superior conservative logic, and then

(36:46):
people follow them and they become a thing. It's not
really it's not really giving us the results that the idea,
the foundation of debating and good faith is supposed to
give us. But we keep treating it like it is.
And the only thing I keep seeing is people getting
a rise. And I'm not saying Maddie's like this, but

(37:06):
there are people getting a rise out of it where
you're like, oh.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
This person is not a good person.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
And now everyone is starting to almost like sports watch
them and be like, oh, I love such as a
I mean, look, they do say some problematic things, but
when they went on Jubilee, that's fucked up. Like there
are people we should be like more skeptical of whether
they're good at rhetorical pronouncing, people, you know, at these
witticisms and flourishes, like they might be good at that

(37:33):
and still be a fucking op.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
And also we go debate debate. But we're not really
having debates online. When everybody talk about Michael Jones usus
Lebron Lebron versus Kobe, we're not actually having debate, y'all.
We're actually putting on a performance. It's a show, that's
all it is. And they just use debate as a
way to kind of get people to come in. And
they use debate on quoterquot. Now you have to pick

(37:58):
a side because now it's a quote unquote. But when
you're having like a true debate, you know what matter
of facts. We all have the same set of facts.
We all are based in reality. I'm not coming with
my set of facts and you're not coming with your
set of facts, and then we call that debate. That's
not a fucking debate. When you have a true debate,
there are some fundamental things that both parties have to

(38:18):
agree on so that you can have a true and
an honest and a fruitful conversations. We're not really having conversations.
We're just yelling at each other across the room and
calling it debates. But it's not really a debate. And
I've realized that over time, and like I said, somebody
like me, I don't. I have been around people who

(38:40):
argue for argument's sake, and like that. A lot of
those people love debates, like people who argue just for
argument sake, and a lot of these debates they do
that because they can flip on one side, they flip
on the other side, you know, the devil advocates and
all that type of stuff. They just like to just
be in there just to get people riled up. And
for me personally, and just for me personally, I have

(39:02):
the type of pressure that I will cut your ass
out the second I realize you're wasting my motherfucking time.
No minds are being changed, You're just flipping and flopping
and going back and forth with me, getting my blood
pleasure up for no goddamn reason. So why are we here?
But what I had to realize some people are addicted
to that. They're addicted to the anger. They're addicted to
that blood pressure going up. They know it's bad for them,

(39:24):
they know that they know that it's causing them stress,
but it's something about it that they love. Because the
day you didn't love the ship, you wouldn't addicted to
the ship. You would cut the ship off. That's easier,
said than done as talking to somebody who has been
addicted to social media for various different things. But you
know that's just the truth and and and and it's
one of those It's one of those things where be

(39:46):
it politics, being music, be it exposed to be, whatever
it is, it's the number one thing that will get
people roued, even even when it comes to gender wars.
It's it's that's the number one thing that can get
people aroused and and get parts of their brains ticking
and get their biases going and things like that, because
a lot of times with these debates, like you said,

(40:06):
nobody's changing their minds. A lot of times people I
come up with facts, but the other person is not
open out of they not listening or hearing to anything
you have to say. But I realize a lot of
people they're addicted to the interaction. They just want to
be seen and they want to be heard, and social
media allows people the attention that they do not get
in they real everyday life.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
Yeah, it's like they're pulling a debate and switch. That
was me dropping bomb. I just that's my sound effect
for when I drop a gym on y'all. There, you
got debate and switch. That's really what it is. That's
that's that's Charlie Kirk. That's all this, that's jubilee. It's

(40:47):
not a debate. It's just it's content to get your attention.
You're just watching conflict content and then you're you're you're
scrolling and you're thinking and you're sharing, and I you know,
like we'ile human. We all share shit. Not everybody's interested
in it. But man, my friends shared these clips.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
I did not watch them.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I don't Oh, look at this so and so says
such as such, I don't give a fuck about them people.
I already know how I feel about it, and nothing
was changed. Nobody's gonna look at that clip and go.
I had felt the opposite, but this person convinced me
racism was wrong anyway.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Ronal Raphael says, So.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
While Candice can't get hers to work at the HBCU,
it will work at a p W. I I hope
that I'm wrong, as I prefer I prefer that world.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
As such. Were young people who boycotted.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Sean says, who could have had a va Oh my,
that's a cloud callback to the eighties and I'm off
for it.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Oh she could have had a V eight even.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
He says, when I saw the title the show Superhead
of Politics, why did I think it was about the
rumors of dump sucking dick in the Epstein Files. That's
not a pleasant image to have in your mind?

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Yuck. Well, why'd you put it in our minds? I
don't give a fuck about that. This okay, so okay.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
So here's another example, though, this is this to me
is more like how But I'm like, it's easy to
see this type of weird delusion on the other side,
but when it's on our side, quote unquote, everyone thinks
like everything's up and up. Man, that whole email exchange
about Trump sucking Bubba's dick or whatever the fuck, and people.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Be like, you know what that means?

Speaker 1 (42:23):
You suck Bill Clinton's dick? It is just what are
y'all doing? Can we be.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
Serious for one god damn fucking second talking about the
Epstein Files and y'all turned into like the fucking Kwan
Mills book.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Like what are y'all doing? What are y'all doing? It's
real victims to this shit, it's real shit that happen.
And y'all like Bill Clinton got dick?

Speaker 4 (42:50):
Sup?

Speaker 1 (42:50):
About Donald Trump? What are we doing?

Speaker 3 (42:54):
And I know deep down inside, WHI y'all. This is
the thing that's so funny because cause I think one
of the reasons people on the right, or and I
don't mean right necessarily like politically conservative, but like you know,
the bros, the bros, the demand.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Of spirit type guys. One of the things that they
your Dave Chappelle's these people.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
One of the things that they don't really hone in on,
but I know they're bothered by, but they just don't
know how to say it, is that none of these
isms go away, none of these phobias go away. People
on the left are homophobic too, they just coded differently.
And one of the biggest tales for like the homophobia

(43:38):
on the left is just like so and so was
secretly gay, and meanwhile, we're like, listen, if someone is
secretly gay, it's because they at society.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
And they've been a down load and blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Right, Like it's like we like if we understand, we
feel when someone comes out after seventy years and they're
an actor, you know, you're not supposed to be like Nigga,
we knew you was gay. You're supposed to be like, hey,
you know what, you probably went through a lot. You
had to hold that down and hold that in. I'm
glad you're free right now, right that's the right thing
to say. But we're all human, we're all kids. None
of us are really fucking grown up all the way.

(44:15):
There's still a part of you that's still like penis
is touching penises or whatever the fuck, Like you're not,
you know. And I think if people were more comfortable
admitting that and a little less judgmental of that, like
not getting to some full like you should call people
the F word type shit, but just being like even
gay people have jokes about like, yeah, it's some gay
shit be funny, the same way I'm black and some

(44:36):
black shit you be funny. But it only works on
good faith if we all approach it on like, no,
we're safe here, and I'm making a joke about being black,
but I'm in the company of people that understand and
don't hate me and judgment because of my skin color.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Blah blah blah. Okay, all that.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
To say, the fervor that people have for Donald Trump
to hopefully be gay was kind of disturbing. It was like,
have done something gay was kind of disturbing. And it's
also interesting because Donald Trump's administration has done such horrible, horrific, homophobic,
transphobic shit. Yes, he's in power and not being held

(45:14):
to account, but I think people feel like ridicule and
mocking him is gonna work. And I just feel like
we're so passed that. Y haven't we been mocking this
man ten years? When is it we're gonna get.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
These It don't matter what are we gonna get these.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Effects that everyone keeps talking about. Oh, his feelings is hurt? Okay,
is he gonna resign?

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Then we need.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
To start thinking about tangible things that will work and
not just calling him gay of with something that is
we all know is extremely preposterous, more than just a
complete misunderstanding more than likely, it's just it's just crazy
shit like that. So anyway, I did not cover that
on the show because I felt that it was so

(45:58):
fucking stupid poerrau and I was like, why would I
bring that immaturity to our podcast? We already have fun,
but our fun is not this.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
I don't know this like low quality shit.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Like don't you think Donald Trump so some digger that's
the lowest quality fucking bullshit to me. So I was
not gonna spend any time our airwaves doing that. But
god man that I was avoiding. No, I was just
scrolling and muting and passing that not interested in this.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
No, I don't care because it wouldn't mean anything.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
It would just mean that he if it was even true,
it would mean he would have done that and still
had an extremely homophobic administration that we are currently seemingly
powerless to stop. That doesn't make me feel any consolation
because oh, at least we get to make fun of
him for possibly being gay.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
And I also can't.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
Imagine how that would make you know, I'm sure gay
folks would feel that maybe that's their perfew to be
able to pick on that, but like, I don't know,
me making fun of somebody for being gay as a
straight person.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Just feels very off limits and.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Even but I get it when people and I always
say this on the show, And this is why I'm like,
I think the truth would be a lot better than
us trying to pretend.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
To be morally above people.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
The truth is universally well, motherfuckers don't like somebody. All
of the high minded stuff they say goes out the
window with a vast majority of people. It's why Jason
Wedlock's a fat bitch, right. But but someone you like
is like say Lizzo or somebody or whatever, like, no,

(47:39):
that's a powerful queen.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
And that's the thing, the sustance that a lot of
these guys are getting that. But they're not.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
In my opinion, I was gonna say good enough, but
I imagine some of these comedians are good enough to
make these points. They don't think it's profitable, lucrative, or
understandable enough to really voice it in the way I'm
saying right now. And maybe it's just not funny enough
to say it the way I'm saying it. But they
what their point is not to say, like, uh, homophobia

(48:11):
is great, we should love homophobia. I think what they
really mean to say is everybody's still kind of immature
and homophobic. Don't make me feel bad because I notice shit,
and my job is noticing shit.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
I'm not against these folks. I'm just noticing this.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Here's the humor in this, the same way I find
the humor in whatever fucked up situations happen all the time.
But the wires got crossing, it just turned into like, no,
the kids are wrong.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
I'm the only fun and one, and that's why it sucks.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
But there's something deep, deep down in the core of
their gright that that does resonate with me when I
see stuff like this take off in political spears that
otherwise seem seemingly try to be extremely welcoming to LGBTQ people.
But it's like, haha, he was sucking at we found
them yoll And it's like, okay, like I'm not even

(49:05):
saying it's not funny. It's just you don't get to
didn't turn around and be like when this other person
said it though, that was wrong, like it was. It's
we're all a little bit wrong all the time, you know,
but if we won't admit it, that's the wrongest part
of it, you know. Anyway, that's a cold different tangent.
But uh, that's why we didn't talk about it on
the show. Uh YouTube, Oh shit, I just realized I

(49:28):
didn't do the poll for the last episode.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Okay, I did a poll. I'll do two poles at
the end, all right.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
The YouTube comments for this episode superad the Politics, we
got eight comments.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Sorry, let's see what we got here, guys. Eight comments.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
Marvel let fifty five. I so agree with your take
on Mom Donnie in the White House. I didn't see
anything any different than how Trump play cased the most.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Everyone have to talking ish about them.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
But somehow Mom Donnie visits with something new and more,
praised by folks who had for others. It was Trump
who said, go ahead and call me fascist. Mom Donnie
was getting ready to say something different and do a
long explanation.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Yeah, that's true. He bailed him out. That's true because
I really do wonder if we.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Lived in the alternate universe where Trump didn't diffuse the
situation and was like, nah, explain what you meant if
he has to have an explanation that walks some sort
of a line that the people who are partying on
him being like such a purist or whatever would not
get to have a win right there, because he would

(50:34):
have had to do some level of deference to Trump
in his presence that those same people would have admonished
any other person for doing, but for him, they would
have tried to like be like, no, because let me
tell you why it's okay to say Trump is not
the fascist. Now, It's like, nah, you weren't saying that

(50:55):
when anyone else had to go up there and work
with Trump and had to clearly, you know, play the system.
You was just saying, this is what's wrong with the system,
and what's wrong with these Democrats, and we need.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
To elect other people.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
The part I heard clearly is Trump saying he would
like to have had having the Bernie Sender supporters who,
when Bernie was out of the race, voted for him.
Mam donnie gives the cynical smiles it to say, hmm,
I voted for you too. Let's not forget how anti
Harris mc donnie was. Mam Donnie was. Yeah, I don't know.
So once again, and I'm thankful that I did not

(51:30):
follow this dude like that, and not out of any animosity.
I'm saying I don't have any animosity towards mom donnie
because I purposely stayed out of this.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
I don't know about his anti Harris ways or leanings.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
I just truly did not follow it, and I just felt,
like I do with all elections. If he was the
best choice on the ticket because of the offerings that
were available to voters in New York City, then that
should kind of be one only thing that matters I
don't need him to line up with all my points
of view. But yeah, I did not even know about

(52:06):
him being anti Harris. But it is what it is,
you know, as a Bernie mentee, I'm giving the side
out of a guy was a part of the vote
uncommitted group against Harris. I feel he still didn't vote
for Harris. Oh so we don't know. I feel he
voted third party for the far left like the far
left did, and or voted for Trump a popular opinion.
Most complained he didn't get the support of Democrats because

(52:26):
he liked Bernie didn't support the party he was running.
Ass Now, Mom, doning is gonna get that smoke of
the leftist raft that he was once a part of.
We are short sighted and cited, and quickly forget the
beginning of any story, as we always start in the middle.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Thanks for the show, Love you guys. Take. Yeah, here's
the other thing I'll say, though he's.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Already endorsed or I don't know if it's endorsed, Yo,
he's essentially endorsed Hakeem Jefferies against uh Combat Jackson.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Why am I drawing blanks? Shy? I think it's his name, Shy.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
I'll say, so, he's already done the thing that you
get an office and you do, and I'm already seeing
people argue back and forth about it, and honestly, I
love that shit. This is welcome to the party, pal.
Shout out to my man, Corey Glover, and shout out

(53:26):
to of course the greatest Christs movie of our time,
Dark But welcome to the party man. Y'all in it now.
Now you get to watch your guy have to make
deals and make some political calculations.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
He can't just run for Twitter. That's what I like.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
That's what I love about the squad coming into the fold.
I want to see people seriously try to solve issues
and whatever you say to get elected, I hear you.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
But once you're.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
In here and you need to build coalitions with people
and just be the asshole who goes everybody's wrong but
me doesn't work. You have to start taking all the
new blood that voted for you, all the new eyes
that are paying attention, and they started learning how things work.
And it's important because a vast majority of the extremely

(54:21):
progressive online space is really about being extremely either unrealistic
or uninformed.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
One percent agree because the thing with like the squad,
like you said, they got in there, and then when
it came for a do you want to be on
these boards? And them people say, hey, d you you
come in here with all this animosity and you expect
us to open off. No, we're not getting well.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Well, see that's wrong though, That's not what happens. So
they wanted to be on these committees, because that's what
you do as a concert, you serve on the committees.
And Nancy Pelosi pulled them into the committees and put
them on those committees herself, so they ended up they
ended up serving on the committees. This is why I
don't shot on Nancy Pelosi. I think people are mostly

(55:10):
wrong about Nancy Pelosi, not saying there's nothing, no qualms,
but like in general, they just underestimate how effective she
was and they are going to miss her the longer.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
We go without her any more.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Y'all realize that, And like I said, I'm not shitting
on the dude, but when you realize like this, don't
feel the same under her. King Jeffries, the fight, the
not losing a vote you bring to the floor, the
getting everybody in line, that's the hard part of the job. Now,
jeffries Is, I think done a pretty good job of that.
It's the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that really seems

(55:46):
to be like flailing with either control or the optics
of control, whatever whichever one is the truth. But my
point being, like, I liked that Nancy Pelosi didn't shun
the squad because everyone wanted her to shun the squad.
They wanted to do what you just said and to
keep them off the committee.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Fuck them.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
That's not how you get the coalition built. That's not
how you bring in the new energy they brought into
the party. All these people that essentially no offense to.
These people don't know shit. They just really don't. They
like they saw a person on Twitter saying all the
stuff they agree with, and they were like president, and

(56:27):
so bringing them into the process to seeing like, oh
them talking all that shit. They might not even get
to be on the committee, so they might not even
get to make this thing happen.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Oh shit, and then that person this is the real
important part.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
People like an ALC being like, no, it's important that
I am actually able to affect change.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
I'm not just gonna grandstand.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
For Twitter like a Marjorie Taylor Green and make it
all about me and then quit and say, look at me,
I'm better than these people. I never did shit for
my constituents. She's like, no, I'm gonna help make the
Greenville happen. What do I need to do to work
within this frame so that I can bring about what
I promise. And even as I lose some of y'all,

(57:13):
some of y'all gonna be on Twitter mad at me
like she didn't she should have shut down Congress for
the Medicare for All bit some shit she wouldn't wouldn't
have won, but would have made her a hit with
a certain level of Twitter influencer.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
She didn't do that shit.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
She got in there and started using the halls of
power to govern. That's so important, and that's a step
I think a lot of people, Miss mom Donnie is
going to be doing that. Yes, for a lot of
these people who are just hey man, I would have
wrote it. I would have wrote in uh you know,
I would have wrote in, Bernie, these people the some

(57:51):
of them will be educated from huh.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
So now he does like Kim Jeffries.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Okay, but I thought we.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Were mad at Keen Jefferies because he didn't endorse him
right away or whatever.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
I thought the DNC was the enemy. Why is he
working with them?

Speaker 3 (58:07):
I actually think that's good for all of us, that
those people will learn because the rest of us already noticed.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
Shit.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
And also, like I said, one of the things about
like I said, AOC and the squad, you know, you
come in and I agree that Nancy Pelosi had to
come in and basically be the be the adult in
the room. Was like, y'all, we all got to get along.
That they are people that listened in him. We can't
divide the party up just because we don't like what

(58:35):
they have.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Not just the not just the adult the strategist. Yes, yes,
and you know what I mean, Like it's not about
being friends or like this is the right way to
do things? Is what would we rather have?

Speaker 3 (58:45):
We're supposed to have a majority, but we've ostracized these
five votes who will always either vote against us, not
vote vote with the Republicans. Or do we bring them
in and go, hey, you guys are bringing in fresh
new energy. Come in, introduce people to this and introduce
us to some of your ideas, and let's see what
we can work on.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Yes, and we can collaborate and we could actually reach
a particularly when it comes to the youth, reach a
subsection of people, like you said, that are uninformed or
ill informed or whatever you want to put it, and
kind of bring them into the fold. And I think
particularly with AOC, lessons were learned, lumps were had, and
all of a sudden when it came to like real governing,

(59:29):
you know, all of a sudden, the videos changed and
it was like, hey, y'all, these it's a slow process.
These are the things that happens, you know, and things
like that, and you know, people have to learn. Yes,
you're gonna have a subsection of people don't line, But
what I realized if I don't line, majority of those
people don't line. Just like po JL, they're not in
your jurisdiction and they can't vote for you anyway.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Yeah, I think it.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
Also she's great because and this tactic is great and
mom Donnie also if they can get him in the
fold will be great because the real superpowers that these
people are great educators and communicators and a lot of
these people that have been in Congress a long time,
they aren't.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
And I don't agree, I don't mean it that they can't.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Go to their like local district and do a town
hall Like that's not.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
What I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
I mean, like the new ways of communicating are so
new and foreign to them. Yes, they're not a hop
on Twitch and TikTok person. They're not let me go
tweet about this, let me go holder spaces on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
And like, oh I do that, I'm a politician.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Basically, Yeah, they don't know threads and blue Like, they
don't see the importance because those people don't live in
their district. But somebody like an alc and the mom Donnie,
they find ways to communicate to these people who are
not who are either.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Chronically online or cynical or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
But they find a way to reach those people in
a way that the Democratic base can't.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
And you have to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Your obligation to the party is to grow and spread
your message, and so making these people enemies I think
is almost always the wrong decision.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
And if they're if they're real and righteous in.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
The way that they claim to be, y'all will align
no more than y'all don't. And so it's important to
get them in there because I think one of the
worst things that happened to Democrats is Bernie Sanders. I
think he's been an albatrous around the party's neck because
his whole thing is the Democrats are terrible, and that's
way stronger than his.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Republicans are even worse.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
That's way stronger than him than his Actually, I agree
with the Democrats on ninety five percent of shit.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
That's what he's.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
Become more of a it's become more of an ego
thing for him to be like, fuck all these guys.
That's not encouraging people to get involved, that's not encouraging
people to change, and it's not changing the Democratic Party either.
It's just it's just all going to one man getting
a bunch of ego boosts. But so I just don't
want to see that happen with any of these guys,

(01:01:59):
and I hope hopefully Donnie doesn't become that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
And also, particularly people of a certain age, y'all have
to understand sometimes the messaging ain't for you and that's okay. Like, like,
who was it the one of the ladies or the
Black ladies? She did like a TikTok or something and
everybody got mad about it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
Jasmine Crack, Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
And I was like, oh, this message ain't for me
and I went on about my business. There's no reason
to being mad, there's no reason to being upset, there's
no reason. No, we're actually all on the same side,
and a lot of times that's where that internal fighting comes.
Sometimes it's absolutely pointless, and a lot of the vision
is absolutely pointless. You might not like the message, but
at the end of the day, if we vote the
same way, in my opinion, that matters more than if

(01:02:42):
I like how you presented it. How you presented it
don't matter. And at the end of the day, if
she could get people to come out and vote, if
we can get as a collective we can get people
to outvote Republicans, I won't results. Don't give a fuck
about your delivery.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Yeah, someone said take a shot every time Rod brings
or Asa Clein. Did I bring up Ezra Klahin just now?
I didn't think I brought up Eza Klein. That's you
bring him up? But they said who I never heard
of before? He was mentioned on this show. Ezra Klein
has want to hold on?

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
Please?

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Ezra Klein huge deal in podcasting New York Times guy,
I'm sure has best sellers. That says more about you
than me. Buddy, I just know who Ezra klin is.
Like that was, Yeah, that's not like, that's not deep.
That's not a deep cut to know Ezra Klein Man.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
But anyway, Paul, appreciate you watching the show.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
But anyway, So yeah, Mom Donnie, Uh, I hear what
you're saying about him.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
I'm glad I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
Much about his anti hairshit. I don't I truly don't know,
and I don't really care at this point. Like you know,
we'll see what happens in twenty twenty, if Harris runs again,
if we have elections, and if if Mom Donnie is
a factor in any of that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Yeah, and it's gonna be interesting because it's one of
those things. But like you said, people love him now,
but once he actually has to do policies, and actually.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
That's part of it. And everybody is popular till they
get elected. It's part of it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
AOC lost a bunch of people in the dirt bag
left is they like to call themselves. When she actually
had to start governing, that's part of it too, And
then I think she's a better politician for it. She
plays less to the internet and more to reality now
because it's like, oh no, these motherfuckers are fake. That's
fake love. In the first place, they thought they were

(01:04:43):
gonna use me. Let me burn my whole career and
goodwill now so that I could do what go be
a podcaster like Joy whatever her name is, like Brianna
Joy Gray, Like no, that's not my career path and
that's not my aspiration.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
I actually want to help people, want to help people.
It's my rap, he says.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
I love when we get the full version of the
Negro spiritual fucking with Black People's song.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
I said, leave me alone. I want to live another
day and go home. Amen.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Also zero f for the with the don't need to
wash my chicken PSA, My people, we must free ourselves
from obsessive cleanliness. Washing chicken spreads more germs. Y'all doing
more harm than good. Also shout out to the AP
for using black women and a black woman in this PSA.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
They knew exactly a demographic. Who need to hear that? Yeah,
people as mad as hell on Twitter? Why are you
using her?

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Because it would have been a white woman. Y'all been like,
why is white woman to come over here telling us
what to do?

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
This racist? I appreciate the PSA, and you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Know, I'm not offended by it, and I do think.
I do think the whatever the social media version of
black people's cleanliness thing is crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
It's going too far.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
Yes it is. It doesn't make sense. I was like,
I don't nobody lives like this, y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Yeah, Like that's just OC did at that point when
you're like.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
You don't soak your soap in pine sorrow before washing
your skins, like no, and no one should and you
should probably go talk to the lady, talk.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
To a dumbertolig as you're tearing your skin out.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
Cland this Owens is trying to interrupt any of the
HBCU's homecomings is blasphemy.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Girl, by the fact they can't even do it on
campus is hilarious to me.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
Damien says, when the subject is a racism, it's always
Taco two's at the White House. Shane Caydo says, enough.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
White girl time has passed. I don't even remember when
I said that, but that is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
Uh, Adrian George, Oh, probably about Newsy Olivia, Newsy. Yeah,
white girl time different than regularly. I'm like, you was
fucking people for scoops.

Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
Give it two years. You can come back.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
You come back, you can meet ahead of Vanity Fair.
If you play this right, we don't care. Rest of
our careers.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Would have been over. Let's see.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
Adrian says, yes, riding, Karen, I'm riding with you. Are
we should not be watching poetry. I've been saying this
for years. Cooking your bird at the correct temperature the
only way to kell salmonella other bacteria.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
And if you do want to get into cleanliness and
being clean, I mean, I hope all y'all that are
chicken washing are doing this. Are you wiping down ship
in your in your house with some soap, some water,
some some whether it's bleach, whether it's what like.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Everywhere formula fall one or what like.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
I'm just saying, like, if you're if you're, if you're
going to be meticulous about cleaning stuff, that's the kind
of ship I would probably suggest you be meticulous about.
It's like, you know your your utensils, you're sink, your
you know your stuff you're touching, obviously washing your hands
between every time you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Touch some raw meat or something like.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Stuff that they teach you when you're working the kitchen
at a at a at a restaurant, that kind of stuff,
wash your hands up to the elbows, that kind of
ship like, don't don't just uh, don't just be making
ship up, Like that's just dumb. Oh, you don't mix
your uh, you don't miss your dish de turgent with
a little bit of a bleach and some from aude hude, Like, no,

(01:08:03):
nobody does, and that's illegal and it might.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Kill me with a drop of ammonia. Oh, you're trying,
you're trying to have somebody passed out in your house.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
No, thank you, you just made sharing gas. Are you
happy you almost died in your bathroom?

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
And black people would do that pass out of don't
realize that they made some.

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Toxic Karen's reasoning for why she doesn't wash chicken was
funny because we all know she isn't.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
The one cooking, says the girl on the other side
of a round.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
But now, why is it a musk to wash chicken
but never meet like I never did.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
That's a good point. It's always chicken, ain't it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
They never be like, you don't wash your steaks.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
But like, I've never seen people fight for a ground
beef washing before. Yeah, and how would you watch it
in a strainer, like, what are we doing? Like even
pork doesn't get this treatment. People see pigs in the
dirtiest animals.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Damn, you dropped the gym just now. That was deep,
Jason says.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Out of all the chaos they've given us so far,
I think rks HHS director will do the most irreversible damage.
We might be able to get things like the Department
of Education back, but we will never be able to
convince the world we're a science based country again.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
I can see it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
Yeah, I saw Northwestern paid like seventy five million dollars
just so they can get their science funding back, and
there's people that are obviously mad. I suggest everybody go
listen to on the media. The Harvard Plan is and
they put out season two. It's a three part series.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Very very well done.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
But man, the insight it gives to the attack on
science on a university level is so important because even
while most people will see that they paid and be
very upset, they had every perspective presented in there. And
one of the women was like, I wish my university
would just pay the fine so we can keep our
scientific Like.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Forget the ego.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
We can't win award with an administration that has been
elected and short up in every single check of the
checks and bounce right, we're not gonna win, and we're
hoping like it's gonna take a prolonged years long much
much money, fight in the court more fine, just give
them money and.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
So we can get back to cancer research.

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
And it was heartbreaking because I think that's the realization
so many people haven't had yet that I feel like
I've had. But it doesn't make me good fun at parties.
But a lot of this stuff was over when they won. Yes,
and a lot of people just been in the now
because they think this like symbolic shit matters a lot.

(01:10:34):
They're like, no, no, no, you fight them, even if
you know you are gonna lose, Sure, fight them, but
just understand the loss was November. So it's like when
people say, like, well, resign from the military.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
Rather than carry out their orders.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
You're right, you resign, and then they're still gonna do
the thing because they're gonna bring in somebody that'll do
the thing. That that's the situation we're in. It doesn't
mean you don't fight, it doesn't mean you don't speak out,
but I'm simply saying like a lot of these like
universities are in a know wing situation where they're like,

(01:11:08):
this will just get the fundings, bigot turn back on
and were just gonna take it. So it's just sad
because yeah, RFK is to me, probably doing the most
damage of all the stuff, because there's no Yeah, he's
probably doing the most damage and yeah, it's irreversible because
a lot of the CDC and stuff like that is

(01:11:29):
about trust. A lot of science is about the fact
that the rest of us laymen don't actually know the science,
so we're trusting the scientists to do the science. And
it seems to have been working for at least one
hundred years or so of just innovation where we're like, Okay, cool,
did you know measles won't kill you anymore? And now

(01:11:49):
we're gonna reverse that. And the trust is the part
that I'm like, how do you get that back?

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
Agreed? And it's very very frustrating because I agree with you.
I still think even to today, so many people are
in denw I am not in denial about the reality
that has happened. Uh the time to be mad and upset, Yeah,
you should continue to be mad, upset. But you know,
all this anger and all this backlash and stuff, a

(01:12:16):
lot of these feelings and people coming out, a lot
of this should have been prior to the election, because
then we would have won. Because once you put these
people in an office, they're gonna do some things that's
gonna be irreversible, and they're gonna do some things it's
gonna impact us for many, many, many generations to come.
And so many people are in denial because they still

(01:12:37):
think it's a decorm. They still thinks to be got
the you know, these handshakes. They still think, you know,
it's a normalcy, like like like they still think that
somebody whose whole thing is like, fuck the korm. I'm
gonna do what I want to somebody whose hold who
is majority of his life. Here's a fine, he's a fee.
Fuck you, I'm not paying somebody that's whose whole thing

(01:12:59):
was I don't give a fuck what y'all say. I
ain't doing it that. He's built a reputation of that,
and people put him in office. So the normalcy that
you have lied to yourself is gone, and so many
people are in de now about what normalcy is anymore.
You know this is how they get in. They can
dismantle ship, they can tell shit down, they could just

(01:13:22):
pass it and do what the fuck they want to do.
And all we can do is, in some situation is
just watch and instead of people going. But damn, I
should have voted, because you know what the polls told me.
A lot of motherfuckers did not vote at all because
we had less people in the last election, so that
means more people. Less people voted in the overall election.
So they were motherfuckers to set at home. It's got

(01:13:43):
them fussing and complain on the left hand out the
right fussing, complaining and whining and crying. Well, bitch, now
is the wrong time for those complaints. The time to
do something was when it was time to vote. And
you know what, you have a chance to redeem yourself
like you really you, and so that you know I
will see I want results like like, I am result

(01:14:05):
based oriented. I don't care about your crying. I don't
kep about your complain I don't care about your falling out.
I don't like like like those things don't matter to me.
The next time a Supreme court take somebody else's rights.
The next time somebody else passes a fucked up ass
law that would impact your children and your Medicaid and
your Medicare and your food stamps and your unemployment and
your employment. You know this outrage? Take your ass to

(01:14:28):
the polls and vote, because at the end of the day,
those are the only things that matter. And people go, well,
vote don't matter what bitch. Why they trying everything they
can to get you not to vote? Why is everything
is anti voting? You know, don't go to the polls
and shit like that. Why is that? It's because the
most important thing you have in your hand as a
citizen is the right to vote.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
Yeah, and the only thing I would add to that
is they'll never deem themselves in my eyes.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
But they shouldn't be doing it for my redemption. You
should just be voting in ways to mitigate the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
Harm of this country, because it's honestly the best thing
for all of us. But yeah, if you're looking for redemption,
the America's fucked off too many elections for me to
even think of that. Let's see, I can see it's
going to be a long four years of me having
to separate Zoron from his fans. I really thought nothing
of his meeting with Trump except all of the super

(01:15:21):
lefty geniuses coming out with the supercreative take Trump embraced
him more than Democrats always go back to just hating democrats.
It's fucking crazy over there. If that's your takeaway, Zoron
didn't play Trump, Trump played you. Trump typically acts super
friendly with any man he meets in public. The only
person he went at with was Zelensky, and he had

(01:15:41):
the whole cabinet and the generals in the room at
the time.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
MTG. Yeah, what's funny about that is sometimes.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
He's nice to Zelensky too, Like that was that one meeting,
but there's other meetings that he don't be doing all
that grand standing. But the point being, like, you're right
this he played y'all. And I listened that take from
so many people, and I was like, oh man, they
don't realize Trump sporsh washed them. He Zoran as the

(01:16:08):
sport and you the same way that you was like,
I can't believe the Saudi Prince is sitting up there
with Trump. Trump sat up there with Zoran and you went, man,
stat Zoran love him and just a little tiny party
you went, and Trump loves him to just like me.
That little party you did, you bought it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
MTG tried to act like a decent human being for
a month.

Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
That was like, no, I'm just gonna go. I felt
so bad laughing at the guest the race about the dragon.
I was fine until you read that this dragon was
a sequel. If you're beating with beefing with people who
lived their life a quarter mile at a time, you
gotta stay away from their vehicle.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
I can't believe that woman got dragged twice by by
a card. That's crazy. Now you're not catching you get
me one time? One dragon tops for me.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
One you ain't gonna get me again.

Speaker 3 (01:16:57):
Comments on Spotify made by the music says, I haven't
listened to the second to a second of this episode.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
This title took me all the way out, sir title
of course. The Superhead of Politics D.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
Says that study by the CDC was done by people
who aren't used to washing chickens, so of course they're
gonna let get salmonella everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
I'm not gonna call you any racial, but D, it's
time to let it go. D. It's time you don't
know you.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
She's like, listen, the properties of water in my house
are different. Okay, apparently water don't splash because I tell
it not. I'd be like, stop, water, don't you splash
off that chicken and get particles, invisible microscopic.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
Particles on all over the counter, the dishes into some vicinity.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
It's like when they did that video of like I
don't know if you guys ever saw this video or
Karen you ever saw the video.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
But it was like an illustration of like why men
should pee sitting down versus standing up, And it showed
when you peece standing up, the water splashes and then
it's all the invisible particles get everywhere. So and it
was during COVID that that you know everyone's coming like germopholks.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
But my point being, you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
Don't argue with the science of it because that you
sound like.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
A man going yeah, but I pee. The way I
pe is different properties the water. Listen my pee, don't
it know?

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
Not the splash even though plus you're supposed to wipe
down your kind to sink out your downe handler of
our chicken.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
So to me, that point is moot. I mean, I still.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Wipe down my ship, but I just don't splash invisible
salmonella party goes all the way over to my TV screen.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
Someone on TikTok explaining it perfectly.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
It matters there were dog poop on your chicken, but
someone told you no need to wash it off because
once you cook and all the bacteria would be killed anyways,
right still in Georgia show as always, Yeah, you know
that that's not a perfect explanation, and you do know
that if we saw dog shit on our chicken, we
would just either take it back to the store or
not eat it. There's also I know you lie because

(01:19:00):
if dog shit was on your chicken, you would not
be like, I'm just gonna put some water on it
then then I'm gonna cook it. You would be like,
I don't eating dogshit chicken. This is not dog shit chicken.
Prices up in here, Okay, I can afford another chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
Then apparently I don't have chicken.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
Okay, I'm just gonna make the vegetables today. Shit was
on my food. I'm not gonna just clean it off
or eat it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
Okay. We're not that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
We're not struggling that hard. I know you ain't struggling
that hard. D You're on Spotify, I know you probably ate,
just get.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
No commercials, pay the big fees.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
Man. All right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
The poles were, would you go past the polar bear
warning sign if you had a gun?

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:19:40):
Ninety four percent say no, six percent say yes okay.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
And then six percent of y'all about to be a
snack meal for the polar Bear date.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
You literally looking like a snack and you know, I'll
miss you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
I miss you.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
Make sure your Patreon is all paid up before you get.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Out these do I'm talking to you, bab man, before
you take that trip.

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
And the Poe was trump meeting with mom Donnie. This
was a good thing, this is a bad thing. It
was no thing at all for me.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
It was no thing at all for me. It ain't
gonna make a difference.

Speaker 3 (01:20:11):
Eighty five percent say it's no thing at all, fifteen
percent say it was a good thing, or eight you know,
sixteen percent say it's a good thing, and then zero
percent said it was bad. So yeah, I'm I really
have not been following it like that, So it was
not really a big deal for me. But I was

(01:20:32):
wondering how people that were like heavily invested, especially because
social media kind of encouraged people no matter where they
live to get heavily invested in this New York mayoral race.
So I was wondering if what our audience would think
about it. Yeah, I'm in the majority, and for those
that the things it's a good thing, I would wonder
what they thought was good about it, you know, and

(01:20:55):
who was it good for?

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
Is it good for Trump or is it good for him?
Is it good for both of them? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
Yeah, the Mundani thing we talked about it is really
really interesting, and I was thinking about this particularly here
in the United States, because a lot of the media
corporations are based in New York a lot of times,
and so this is why a lot of people know
more about New York politics than they know about their
own personal individual politics and they own municipalities a lot

(01:21:24):
of times, because it's presented to us because you know,
New York is the biggest New York is the best
New York quote unquote runs the country, when that's not
a true statement, you know, at all, but you know,
that's kind of how it's presented to the rest of America.
And that's why people are like shocked and surprised with
like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaya Mundanti but I can't vote
for him, so it don't really matter. People going what

(01:21:45):
you're going. Well, y'all, Yeah, what New York does does
not impact Shotton, North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
A big part to me is like realizing how much of.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
This stuff is influenced by just social media and algorithms.
It's really important to me. I talk about it a
lot on the show. I talk about a lot in
real life. It's important because you don't really know where
you stand on shit until you kind of standing apart
from shit, meaning like when you step out of the

(01:22:19):
fray and you realize how much of the fray is
out there and how much everyone's caught up in it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
I have friends that.

Speaker 3 (01:22:27):
Don't live in New York, but this thing occupied their minds, yes,
a lot, And I'm convinced that a big part of
why I occupied their minds is because the switch was hit.
As this is a social media thing that the algorithm
knows your eyes are stopping on whenever you scroll, and
so we're going to continue to just push it even

(01:22:49):
as it doesn't really affect you in particular one way
or another. You loving or hating him shouldn't really change
much for you unless.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
You live there that you lived there and can cast
the vote.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
Yeah, and so it's yeah, and like we've seen these
patterns so many times. We've seen these things pop up
almost out of nowhere. It's like suddenly everybody cares about blank,
which is to me, it's fine if it's a thing
you normally would have cared about. Like like like if
I if I always cared about the mayor of New York,

(01:23:23):
then yeah, tell me about Mom Donnie.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
Ye. But I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
But as a general rule, I don't give a fuck
about that mayor.

Speaker 1 (01:23:31):
When it was Eric Adams.

Speaker 3 (01:23:32):
The only time I cared was when I was in
New York and I would try to sneak in jokes
in the game theory calling him offers a mayor.

Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
That was it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Anytime I got the right jokes about him, I loved it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
Other than that, I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Nigga, Like what, I don't live here for.

Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
Real, you know, don't stop it frisk being I'm good.

Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
But yeah, So I just think it's interesting because I
think Mom Donnie was a real big Like they pressed
the button on the algorithm, it was like, everybody needs
to give a fuck about this, And I was like,
I'm not trying to be rebellious and not trying to
be contrarion.

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
But I don't have to give a fuck, and I'm okay.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
I could be aware of it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
Yeah, I'm aware of it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
I'm okay with y'all giving a fuck, But man, I'm
not going like And this is the best part of
my disposition with these things. I'm never there for the
ride up right up the escalator, and so because of that,
you know, you get a little judgment because everybody's like,
we're all doing the thing, We're all mom, Donny, and

(01:24:33):
you're like, it's not for me whatever, and it's like
you don't like them. No, it's not that I don't
like them. I just don't care right one way or
the other. I hope he wins, but I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
Like because New York has to make these decisions.

Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
I just don't need to care. I don't need to
see every campaign video. I don't want to see every tweet.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
I just don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:24:49):
Good for him. I hope it works right, But the
benefit is on the.

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
Down side of the escalator, because it always comes to downside.

Speaker 4 (01:24:57):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
AOC experience this. She didn't do Medicare for All and
shut down the government. I never get mad at them
on the way down, cause I'm like, no, I didn't
care on the way.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
Up, didn't care. I'm not gonna care on the way that.

Speaker 3 (01:25:13):
I wasn't even secretly mad like some people do this
thing where they pretend not to care, but really is
that they actually don't fuck with this person and they
can't wait for their downfalling in the day.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
They fuck up. They be like, aha, I told y'all
he was he was never shit.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
There was there's no secret agenda anything, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
Yeah, I'm just saying for me, it feels good because
when it does happen, when he met with Trump, if
it would have went bad, I wasn't gonna be like
this motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
It's like, you know, I ain't gotta do.

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
What you gotta do.

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
It's a job.

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
It's a job, so anyway, But yeah, a lot of
times I do feel a little detached from everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
But it is what it is, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:25:50):
Last voice, last commercial break of the day, because we
got voicemails and then one email, so there's no need
to make another thing. So let's see what should we do?

Speaker 1 (01:26:03):
Oh, let's do a Rod changed his mind?

Speaker 3 (01:26:05):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
I haven't played that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
No, Maybe Rod needs some Rid changes mind music like
m D changes changes, Rod changes, Rid changes, Rid changes
and changes Mine that every single time that my mind

(01:26:28):
is changed.

Speaker 4 (01:26:29):
He.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
Rid changes.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
We might Rid chases you like changes, We like.

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
Ri chang like Rod. Cha all right? Two voicemails from
the Professor Caritha.

Speaker 4 (01:26:46):
Dear Rod and Karen. It's Kreitha Kreitha Mitchell at cross
Corey on social media. Just wanted to leave a message
y'all were talking about I believe it was on the
last feed that show thirty one eighty nine. Rod, you
were talking about the pleasure from figuring out Hendrick Lamar's

(01:27:14):
various layers. And I just have to say, you know,
hearing you talk about that really aligns with the gratification
I'm feeling right now in my teaching. You know, I,
with all of the AI stuff happening, decided that I
would go really, really hard in the paint I always do,

(01:27:37):
but even more so this semester with giving my students
an experience of the joy they can get from engaging
intellectually and seeing their ideas improve over time. So I
designed some assignments that it was impossible to do unless

(01:27:58):
you were with me restep of the way, in addition
to what I've always done for the past twenty years,
which is gives quizzes regularly on the remain and their
oral quizzes, so you can't like you have to know,
either you know or you don't agree, either you read
or you didn't. So anyway, all those things, combined with

(01:28:19):
doing zoom consultations when they were developing their papers, just
all of this work that I'm putting in really goes
along with helping them see that the billionaires with this
AI are trying to rob them of the joy that
comes from using their own brains and challenging them themselves
in ways that they didn't know they needed to be challenged,

(01:28:41):
and then seeing the results of that. Right, Like, these
young people have to be introduced to that experience. I
can't assume they're going to have it, or I can't
assume that they know what they're missing. I have to
give that to them. So anyway, you just reminded me
of like how much that has felt good this semester,

(01:29:03):
despite how tired I am from all of the labor.
Because the thing that's so crazy is, and I emphasize
this to them, Please don't think you're getting over on
your professors if you do AI and they don't catch
you quote unquote right, that's not actually a flex. It's
simply that professors, especially if they're you know, established professors,

(01:29:27):
they're judged much more on their own research and writing
than they're judged on their teaching. So the university system
is not set up for them to put a lot
of effort into teaching. It's more that they need to
write their own books. So if you're paying all these
thousands of dollars intuition but don't realize that you're cheaping She.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Got cut off, but she called back. Did you want
to say something before? I hate the next one.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
I wait till you finish the message.

Speaker 1 (01:29:54):
The next one is about a minute and a half.

Speaker 4 (01:29:56):
Oh lord, I've become one of those people with the
second message. Okay, I'm just going to be quick. So
what I was saying is students who think that they're
getting over by not doing their own work don't realize
that their professors actually are judged more on their research
and writing than they're judged on their teaching. So if
you want to spend thousands of dollars intuition and then

(01:30:18):
not do your own work and make sure that you're
getting out of your professors the experience that you should.
That's kind of on you because the university system is
set up to give incentives to the professors to put
less energy in their teaching and more energy in their
research and writing. So I try to make all that

(01:30:38):
clear to my students because I was first generation and
I didn't realize what the professor's incentives actually were, and
most of them don't, so I try to be very
upfront with that. But anyway, it really has been you know, exhausting,
but also gratifying this semester to see what's happening with

(01:30:59):
my students really buying in on this process of what
happens if we really think in community and challenge each
other in community and one on one. It's yeah, it's
been lovely. So you reminded me of that. I'm sending
y'all lots of good energy and lots of good energy
to the black guys who takes nation. Catch y'all later.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
Thank you, Professor Caretha Karen. Did you want to I
saw your write something down? You good?

Speaker 2 (01:31:28):
Or you want me to go, oh yeah, yeah, I
want to say something, I appreciate all that you do
because you are really really hard, and we see you
online and things like that. My biggest thing is that
I'll ask somebody who struggled in college with comprehension. I

(01:31:50):
appreciate you saying you do quizes and some of your
quizes are oral. I appreciate that because I have always
tested better or only on things then I did like
that standardized a B, C, D or write it like
type of thing like that. Some people they just they
just don't know that. And so one of my financing

(01:32:11):
class is what had happened was I would take the test,
and now we would be making like c's and and
ds like or like on the physical tests. And so
I was the type of student I would I would go,
you know, we need to do the office hours. I
would go to the office hours and stuff like that,
and I would win class right very intoactive, and I

(01:32:36):
knew that I knew the material, if that makes sense.
And so uh, one day, uh, after we had taken
the test, the professors set me down and he started
basically just asking me kind of random questions. I didn't
realize that was off the test of random questions and
I would just blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
So I actually knew the material because the thing is,

(01:32:58):
I understand written part is part of the process. But
what you're doing oiling, you're actually giving students a chance
and you're actually getting to better understand how that student
mind ticks. And so you could be like, Okay, you
understand what I'm doing, and when I ask you order,

(01:33:19):
you give me the answer. So you're actually giving a
better way of kind of understanding if the students actually
understand everything you're saying. Because with that same class, what
I did, they gave like an assignment, and I think
the assignment was like a huge percentage of like your
grades or whatever. So what they did, I did so
well on that. They took that and they made that migraine.

(01:33:41):
I think I made like an A or something on that.
It was like he was like, this is the most
comprehensive thing. It was like I think he asked for
like ten pages again, like twenty pages. I had gave him,
like all these stat statistics. I like did a lot
of research online and stuff like that. And so I
won't say I appreciate that because as somebody like I said,
it struggles with all the the writing and all that
type of stuff. And also I think that you're actually

(01:34:03):
are challenging children to critically think, because it's a lot
of you. I've seen papers and studies about children coming
in and they can't critically think. And a lot of
professors are having a very hard time when they challenge
the students to think on their own without being told
like no, no, no, no, no. Form your own individual

(01:34:24):
opinion on something where you're not being led and you're
not being influenced. That's very hard to do because a
lot of students when they come, they've been influenced by religion,
their parents, their family, like all these other things, and
they haven't really been allowed to actually form their own
opinion and find actually find out who they are and
get like a foundation in their own belief system, whatever

(01:34:44):
it may turn out to be. And so I wanted
to say kudos to that. And I know it's hard
work for you, and it's extra work for you, but
in the long run, you're building and you're benefiting, and
you're you're giving a new generation a chance to go
out here and not be try funny, easily influenced by
online and actually forming their own opinion and not being

(01:35:05):
easily you know, dominated by all these things. Did they
see and be like no, think about this? Does this
make sense? Think about this? Do you really believe this?
Or are or are you just trying to go along
with the crowd because that's the easiest thing to do,
and it's easier to get people to do that when
they're younger than it is when they're older.

Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
Yeah, I agree with you completely. I think the thing
that it made me think about, you know, one, the
Kendrick thing is important.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
To me because I think.

Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
Our education system from a very young age operates on
what to think and not how to think, and it
operates on answers. First, how you arrived at the answer
is less important as having the correct answer to a
lot of people. And I think many, many, many of

(01:36:03):
us get this lesson in our formative years and we
take it with us until well into adulthood. And you
can tell the people that are like that because one,
they almost always need feel like they need to have
an answer, whether the answer is right or wrong, they
just need an answer, which sometimes the answers I don't

(01:36:25):
know right. Sometimes the answer is out of you know,
I haven't thought about it.

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
I don't. I need to look into that whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
Right, I need to research whatever it may be.

Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:36:32):
It's not a bad word unless your test is a test.
Right now that I'm in front of a test that's
being graded, I don't know as an f so it
affects us from the time that we're young.

Speaker 1 (01:36:45):
Right then.

Speaker 3 (01:36:48):
The other thing is even type A people, very accomplished people.
Some of my best friends, they're very smart people. They've
always done well in school or whatever. But I can
tell talking to them how important having the correct answer
is no matter how they achieved it, and showing the

(01:37:11):
work is less important to them.

Speaker 1 (01:37:13):
I'm not saying you should always want to show your work.

Speaker 3 (01:37:15):
I mean, honestly, it can be a bit pedantic, and
not everybody wants to sit through that shit. But my
point being, like, knowing that you had to have a
process to get to the right thing is so important.
It's you know, It's what's great about algebra is that
Algebra's not here's the answer. Algebra's like, here's the process

(01:37:36):
to get the answer. If you do the steps in
the correct format and order, you will arrive at an
answer that you did not have before you. But the
process is the real thing you have to learn. You
don't need to learn like you're not learning. Like when
I see this number and this number X is always three,
that's not what we want you to learn. We want
you to know the number. The variables can change or

(01:37:59):
the you know whatever. But you will find that answer,
that solution because you know the process. College is very,
very hard for people because college is one you're paying
for or you're accruing debt with, and so the pressure
is different, Like it's not like public school where it's
like Okay, I'll do it until I get it right,

(01:38:20):
or okay, it's not the end of the world, like
I have to show up here tomorrow. College is like,
hey man, you're not good at this, and the bills
are crowing. You need to go to fuck on. And
so I think a lot of people kind of get
into a scarcity mindset of like, hey man, I don't
give a fuck if I've really learned this, or if
I can get it from chat, GPT or I can

(01:38:42):
get it from Google. I just need to make sure
that I'm passing this test, because this is now about
value in my life and not about value to my
life not about me become edifying myself, becoming a better person, and.

Speaker 1 (01:39:02):
People will cheat.

Speaker 3 (01:39:04):
And I'm not joking, man, Like, I'm not saying this
even to pat myself on the back. I just didn't
realize I was this big of an exception until you know,
later in my life. I haven't never cheated on the
test ever.

Speaker 1 (01:39:23):
I've never I've never copied and paste.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
I've never copy and pasted a paper. I've never plagiarized
anybody ever for anything. I think when I got to
school in college specifically, I realized, oh, this isn't.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):
Just like a high school thing. I've had people cheat
off of me.

Speaker 3 (01:39:51):
I actually got in troublecause the nigga cheated off of
me without telling me. I was like, and then they
trying to act like we was in it together and
it was on Latin class, and I like he pulled
us out to the side. You know, it's like, I
know you're helping so and so, And I had to
look at this lady and be like, now, why the
fuck would I do that? What's in it for me?

Speaker 1 (01:40:08):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:40:09):
Like? You know me, I be in this class every
day doing my Latin learning this fucking dead language.

Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
Now, why the fuck would I allow somebody to cheat
off of me where I get a bad grade if I.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
Get caught helping him cheat and I get nothing, Like
he ain't.

Speaker 1 (01:40:28):
Giving me no money, he ain't my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
I'm just dumb. Now, you see me every day.

Speaker 1 (01:40:35):
I know you know I'm smarter than that. It was
funny because I was.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
Only like in tenth grade. But the way I told her,
she was like, you're right, cause I was like, right, Like,
that's not even in my fucking and they have to
think about it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:46):
I was like, you know her right, Yeah, why would
you do that?

Speaker 3 (01:40:49):
Like, I'm like, and I'm not saying it's a good thing,
because I know most people would see that as a
bad thing.

Speaker 1 (01:40:55):
You should have helped him.

Speaker 3 (01:40:56):
Even if he was my friend, I wouldn't have helped him.
It's not that kind of person. I'm not that friend.
Don't call me you need the bury a body or whatever.
I'm just not that guy. So like, I'm like, you
should have studied or whatever the fuck, man, But don't
fuck my grade up because you fucked up. Now, I
gotta explain to my parents that I'm helping your dumb ass. No, man,

(01:41:16):
the time for doing all this shit when we was
studying the words and learning like what the difference between
like paconi pracunium is and this that that time was
for the time before this. So anyway, I'm not saying
it for a pat on the back. I'm just saying
I really did believe, because it's not like I got

(01:41:37):
all a's all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:41:38):
Sometimes I got bad grades.

Speaker 3 (01:41:41):
Sometimes I failed a test because I really didn't do
what I was supposed to do. There were cons in
college where I procrastinated or I didn't study, and man,
the worst feeling in the world is getting up early
to go to that class for the test you know
you ain't do the shit for. But at no point
did I like, nah, man, i'm a let me just hey, man,

(01:42:06):
let me borrow your thing. It was always just like
I gotta go ahead and stand on my own too.
And the point is, I'm proud of it because I
learned how to think. I didn't have the answers all
the time, and every once in a while I'll fucking
around to do good on them tests. That's the that's
the real head triple. When I didn't study and I
killed it because I was like.

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
I was shocking myself, like oh shit.

Speaker 3 (01:42:31):
I'm like, I don't what what Like they get that
grade back like good job.

Speaker 1 (01:42:35):
I was like, how now that's now that that Now.

Speaker 3 (01:42:38):
I do need to think about what kind of classes is.
But but yes, I mean I actually had to start
over my major because I went to school to be
a computer major and oh, I think I've told the
story on the show before, but it's been a long time.
So I wanted to be a computer programming major because
my dad's a computer programmer, and I just wanted to be.

Speaker 1 (01:42:59):
Like my dad.

Speaker 3 (01:43:00):
And I was like, my dad made a lot of
money and he successful or not, that's a good life.
So I go there, I'm gonna be a computer programmer.
First semester is all bullshit, right, it's all introduction to this,
that or the other.

Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
But I took one programming class and I didn't like it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:17):
I'll forget what grade I got, but I like barely
did good in it. And oh no, actually no first semester,
no program class, second semester, programming class.

Speaker 1 (01:43:27):
Y'all I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:29):
I'm looking in this code and coding is you gotta
be meticulous, Like you need to be able to look
at something and be like this is a space, and
then that's a comma, and this this is a semi colon,
but it should have been a colon. And now your
whole fucking thing don't work, and you need to be
able to stare at the screen find that one thing

(01:43:52):
out of a sheet of text and like that could
be the difference between past or fail. Your programmer working
not working. All this shit and the teacher was not
very He was not a guy who did a lot
of teaching. He was a guy who basically was like,
here's the here's what the program's supposed to look like,
this what's supposed to do y'all bring it to me

(01:44:14):
if y'all have any questions. And I always had questions,
but it wasn't in the class. It would be like
after hours, I got come by his office. And so
I came by his office a couple of times. And
the reason I knew it wasn't gonna work for me.
Both times I came by his office, he fixed my
program and didn't show me what he did.

Speaker 1 (01:44:31):
Oh no, he just was like, oh no, this is.

Speaker 3 (01:44:34):
The the the dashes here and the and the g
gos here, and this should be if then all right
there you go. I'm like, you didn't teach, you didn't
show me, shit, I didn't learn anything. And the first time,
I'm like maybe he busy. Second time, I was like,
oh no, this is the thing. And so I go
to my my other people in my class were also

(01:44:55):
never taking coding, and they're all doing fucking better than me.
They just I'm sending hours in the lab. These more
fuck are just killing it a's and everywhere. And the
only people that weren't that were killing it.

Speaker 1 (01:45:07):
Like that were just like geniuses or what like.

Speaker 3 (01:45:11):
There were also people that just spent all day in
the computer lab, which I knew I wasn't gonna be
and so I remember asking a couple of them like, Yo,
how are y'all doing this? And they was like, oh no,
you just copy and paste the program off of this.

Speaker 1 (01:45:27):
I was like, so, are y'all just cheating? Y'all not
even learning the code?

Speaker 3 (01:45:31):
Like you're just copying and pasting. How are we gonna
learn anything?

Speaker 2 (01:45:34):
This is the level one, right, this is like complex.

Speaker 3 (01:45:38):
Computer program in one on one. Were not even at
the like what the fuck we really need to do?
And so I remember dropping that major because I was
like I'm not learning how to get the answers. I'm
just getting the I learned how to cheat, I didn't
learn how to do the answers, and I refuse to cheat.

Speaker 1 (01:45:57):
So I remember dropping that class.

Speaker 3 (01:45:58):
Or or get a seer like I struggled to get
like a C in that class, maybe even a D.

Speaker 1 (01:46:04):
I can't remember.

Speaker 3 (01:46:06):
And then I think, because of the rules, you get
to drop one class or whatever, so I ended up
dropping it.

Speaker 1 (01:46:11):
But man, it was just it was a struggle.

Speaker 3 (01:46:13):
So my point is some lessons aren't for today because cheating,
as cliche as it is, you just cheat yourself. Some
of those kids are going to still use AI and
they're still gonna do shortcuts, and they're still gonna they're
still gonna be in a scarcity mindset that they just
need to get that A out of Professor Caretha's class.

Speaker 1 (01:46:32):
And it really don't fucking matter how they get that A.

Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
But it'll come back later for people like that, whether
they learn that lesson from being unprepared later in life.

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
Or being confused or not having a.

Speaker 3 (01:46:45):
Good thought process, or they just realized the value of
what you were trying to impart on them. But it
just happens later in life, because that happens to people too,
where it's like, oh, and that's why you don't cheat,
So I think what you're doing is dope.

Speaker 2 (01:46:56):
I do. I do too. And for me personally, going
through like dealing with professors and going through like the
college process, I actually had to learn how to study,
if that I don't know if that makes sense kind
of going and you actually kind of teaching them how
to properly study, and so like for me, I had

(01:47:18):
to kind of go back to the fundamentals of how
do you study, and not only how do you study,
how do you retain what you study? Because for me,
I don't know if it's my brain or the where
it takes. As an adult, I'm much much better, but
I would literally read something and fucking not remember it
thirty minutes later. Like for me, I would spend like

(01:47:40):
countless hours reading the same perier four and five and
six and seven and eight and nine and ten times.
Then I'd be like, Okay, now I get it. Like
I had to learn how to what study skills worked
for me, you know, And so for me, I had
to come up with my own technique, Like for me,
flash cards work better, you know, versus just that long

(01:48:03):
form type of reading type of things and talking about majors.
I changed my major too. I had went to school
to actually be a teacher. I have I have been
wanting to be a teacher. So I was a little kid, like,
which want to be a teacher, teacher, teacher, teacher, teacher.
I always had wanted to be a teacher. And so
what had happened? I realized they had this class where

(01:48:24):
you actually got to uh sit in with the teacher,
like we actually got to go to Cumberany County school
system to city in so you actually got to see
what the teachers had to deal with every day. And
I realized this is not for me. It was a
out of yelling. It was a lot of sit down.
It was like shut up, It was a lot to
be quiet. I was like, oh no, this this is
not for me. And not only that, when it comes
to teaching, which I didn't know, you have to take

(01:48:45):
this test and you have to pat of your pocket
a few hundred dollars for this test, and if you
don't pass this test, you can't take like your three
hundred and four hundred level classes. I'm a broke ass
cotage student I was like, bitch, I'm not paying for
a test that I may or may not pass, and
if I do, I don't pass it, I might not
can't continue on. So I just flat changed my major
because of that, Okay, And you made me think about it?

(01:49:10):
Could you said you had changed your major?

Speaker 1 (01:49:11):
Okay? All right, well you know, let's in an interest
of time, let's move on.

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:49:16):
Uh but yeah, thank you, Professor Carreta and uh yeah, man,
good job, good stuff. We get sometimes we get AI
emails from people that want to be guests on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:49:30):
Uh. And the AI is not where y'all think it
is yet it is not.

Speaker 3 (01:49:36):
I'm sure somebody, maybe somebody's been able to sleep one past,
but I've never seen it, or I've seen the bad ones,
I'll tell you that much. And one of the ways
you find out is because a lot of y'all send
y'all whoever. These people are just using a program, and
the program sends the same format every time. So like
I get emails or it's like this person and it's

(01:49:57):
almost someone who I would never be a good guest
on it show anyway, And I'm definitely not having on
the show. If you wouldn't even fucking really listen to
the show, Like you wouldn't even listen to show, You're like,
put me on.

Speaker 1 (01:50:07):
That means you don't give a fuck about us.

Speaker 3 (01:50:09):
You want to use our platform to say whatever bullshit
you want to spew.

Speaker 1 (01:50:12):
But yes, we.

Speaker 3 (01:50:13):
Will get AI emails and I put them in the
idiot folder, and the format is always saying the first
paragraph is always like, hey, riding, Karen. Your episode was hilarious,
especially when you mentioned the hornets and whatever other thing
is in the title description.

Speaker 2 (01:50:29):
You know what blank insert word here.

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
Yeah, Yeah, your episode had me cracking up during the
Hornets watch party banner and that.

Speaker 1 (01:50:40):
Wild story about toad truck toad trucks.

Speaker 3 (01:50:43):
The discussion about the shifting political landscape black capitalists, and
Trump's approval ratings with Hispanic adults really caught my attention.

Speaker 2 (01:50:52):
Come on, all right, chat GPT, Right, we know real
people don't write like that.

Speaker 3 (01:50:56):
Okay, chat GPT, got it, buddy, every idyes, fucking got
a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:51:01):
God, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:51:03):
But yeah, all right, last thing is the email. I
gotta get to the gym. Sonya aka ms Barnes says
doub bears. Good afternoon, Roder Kara Hope all as well.
I wanted to add to the polar bear discourse and
add a pick of my clothing kind of with a
black bear. My family reunion in Tennessee, so that Friday night,
my sister made dinner for everyone in the cabin. While
cleaning up, she asked my son, whose birthday we were celebrating,

(01:51:26):
to take the trash out. He took out the trash,
but did not lock down the trash. On Saturday, my
niece asked to borrow my keys and get something out
of my car. She stepped out immediately slammed the door.
She said there were bears who were giving my sister
a five star YEP review on her spaghetti. Eventually, eventually
they went away. But all that to say that we

(01:51:47):
did not do well. We did not do was try
to take a selfie. But we did take a pick
of one of the cubs feasting on last night's dinner.
Below stay safely, safely behind closed doors. I'm attaching some
of the picks, and keep in mind these were cubs
and not the mom.

Speaker 1 (01:52:00):
We saw the mom.

Speaker 3 (01:52:01):
We were like, nah, let them dump your dive. Let
them have their dumpter dive. Take care and love y'all,
Miss Barnes. Yeah, and I'll pull up the picture for
y'all to see.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
There's a strong and ship and y'all, you know, depend
on how your house is set up. That glass they
bust on through that glass enough they be like, fuck
the door.

Speaker 1 (01:52:23):
Right, I'm trying to open this and uh so that
y'all can see it. Me see. Oh no, it's trying
to make me download it. How can I just show
everybody the picture? I'll have to blow it up. Okay,
here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:52:35):
Uh, this is the picture that she said, boom boom.
I'll just make it bigger. But that's a bit, that's
a cub. It's all up in that trash can too.

Speaker 1 (01:52:49):
Trash. Yeah, Like it's big enough to like do some
damage to that suv. Oh damn.

Speaker 3 (01:53:13):
That's it for today, Chelle, thanks for listening to everybody.
Appreciate y'all, as always, thanks for signing up for the
Black Friday Cell. All that stuff is Like I said,
he keeps us afloat, keeps us in business, and helps
