Speaker 1 (00:00):
I listen to the Black Guy Who Tips podcast because
Rod and Karen are hot. Hey, welcome to another black
out to his podcast. I'm your host, Rod, joined us
always by my co host, and we're live on Saturday morning,
starting a little earlier than normal. Ready to give you
guys some podcasting on this last feedback show before Christmas.

(00:26):
The official weapon of the show is folding chair and
an unofficial sport what about and bull of ball Extreme
And today's show is all about the stuff that you
guys had to say back does right. We had a show,
a bunch of shows, We had a bunch of guests
lately and you guys, we have polls, we have the website,

(00:47):
we have five star reviews, we have email, we have voicemail,
We have a bunch of ways for you guys to
get in contact with the show. Let us know what
you think about the vibes, what you know about, what
you think about the topics. You know, have your own
voice heard. And that's what we're gonna do today, and

(01:07):
don't forget. Also coming up in April, we're going to Vegas. Yes,
and that links in the show notes. And I've never
been to Vegas, but I kind of want to go
to Vegas. I've never been to Vegas. I want to
experience it. I want to know what's going on. You know,
I've never been during the NBA Cup, I didn't. I

(01:29):
don't even go to Gamble Boy myself. But hey, if
they're gonna have us out there to do Pod Jam three,
we're gonna be there. God damn it, yes we are.
And we made some guest appearances this week on podcast
so make sure you guys check out Stand Up with
Pete with Pete Dominic. We were on his show Very Fun.

(01:50):
Everywhere you get podcasts, make sure you check that out.
He's gonna be basically the host of the thing, and
we're just there, you know, to do our thing and
and hang out with his peoples and our people and
get the peoples to mingling. Could be a fun time.
So if you want to hear like a little preview
of what it's like when we kick it with him,

(02:11):
check that out. So in a long time coming. And
then also if you like nerdy stuff MC University. I
was recently on the podcast for mc University where we
did a grade evaluation from A to F for all
the Marvel TV shows and movies of twenty twenty five,

(02:32):
so we went back to the beginning of this year
of this we had TV. We did you know, Captain America,
Brave New World, we did iron Heart, we did Wakanda
Odds of Wakanda, like just everything that they came out with,
Marvel Zombies and as always have a great time with

(02:52):
Ac and Jake Man. We just have it's very fund
good peoples, So make sure y'all check that show out
there also on Patreon as well. And then was there
any other show notes? Oh yeah, everything for the premium people,
you know, working on the website stuff. Everything should be

(03:14):
up and running for everybody. I still need to do
like a couple more steps to update the last plug in,
but until I'm one hundred percent sure, I don't want
to mess anything up because people might lose access. So
I'll keep you guys updated on the premium side for that.
But everything's up and running on that. And last one,

(03:37):
we're out of the free like people that paid extra
that wanted to donate a gift subscription to people for
the black outis premium. I want to say we probably
went over where we had like probably eight or so
people who had like more we had more than we

(03:58):
could give out at the time. Now we have more
people ask it than we have and I, you know,
unbeknownst to y'all, I matched every donation. So like if
you gave somebody a free year membership through the premium
like the Black Friday cell, I also gave somebody else one.

(04:19):
And so I want to say, actually I went above
and beyond the match, because I want to say I
stopped at twenty and now people are asking that are more,
so like if I'll just extend it to the entire year,
you know, anytime somebody wants to do it, if you period,
and I won't even go to the normal price. It's

(04:41):
normally one fifty four a year. But if you want
to be like, here's one hundred dollars, somebody gets in
behind the paywhile on me period in perpetuity. If you
do that per I'm not gonna, you know, always bring
it up on the show. Now I was gonna ask
about it. I don't want to make it a big thing,
but you know, if it is more work for me.

(05:01):
But honestly, you know, I love when people get behind
the pay well so they can experience like what we
do over here and feel for themselves. So yeah, if
you would like to gift it to somebody, I'll extend
the matching even like you one, you you submit one,
I'll let into that. So we'll just do it like
that for the time being, and I'll let you know

(05:23):
if that changes. But you know, because it always warms
my heart when y'all do that, because it's really y'all
hooking each other up, which is like a super dope thing,
you know, like it's a fan being like, man, I
like this shit. You should some random person I don't
know you come like this shit too, uh, And I'll
let And I've saved every email from people. I put
them on a list. If there's like people that are like, man,

(05:45):
I want to get in, I'm like, we're out right now.
But the list will just be there forever, and whenever
people decide to do stuff like that, I'll make sure
to pass it on. All Right, now we can get
into some actual show stuff. Okay. The first thing we do.
There's people that go to our website. They look on
the right hand side, they see the blackoutips dot com.

(06:07):
They go, hey, what's this down on the right hand side.
They're on the phone. They turn it sideways and they go, oh,
this thing says you can support the show any amount
of money, recurrent donation, one time, don't matter, what do
you get for that, and go nothing? Really, I mean,
you're just supporting the show just because you like what
we do and you want to see us not go anywhere,

(06:28):
but we do give something. Let's call it a shout out. Okay,
you put a little something when we passed to play around,
then we gonna go ahead and give you a shout out.
Let's do that right now. Man, happy protection. We're down
listening to Charlotte's own Rod and Karen Pop. Welcome to

(06:52):
Good folks who're tied to the Black Tips, New to Blooms,
New Good after the News, Johannah M. Thank you very much,
Laura F. Chris from Hawaii, Corey the Tickla, April G.

(07:13):
Tabitha m Alexis h Marlon B. Yes, Marlon B. And
of course Wanga from down under over there in Australia
all the way in the future. Thank you everybody and
tomorrow who donated. We appreciate y'all. Oh man, let's get

(07:42):
into the show reviews, because this is really the big moment.
Everyone gets tense about it. Every these days. Will we
have a new five star review? Will we have a commercial?
Will we have and it's not just one commercial, it's
not And for the record, I want you to know
I can't adjust the commercials. The people that control advertising

(08:05):
for our comfort, for our podcast at this point, with
our heart, they decide how many going to these breaks.
And I looked the other day it was five oh
five commercials per break. So this could be y'all hitting
the fast forward button a lot, right or listening to
I don't know what these ads gonna be. Let's see
what the reviews say. We got one shout out that

(08:29):
Disco Angelo saving the people. Yeah you did baby, whoa
you did it?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
This?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
This is on you, buddy, amazing five stars as Disco Angelo.
I don't know how y'all do it, but you've been
able to keep putting out amazing relevant content for over
thirteen years. Take about because I know that's not easy.
Thank you, buddy. It's not easy. A lot of people
have come and failed and tried, and you know what
I mean. It's hard to do this shit consistently this long. Okay,

(08:59):
it make me think about But the award game is
the award game in the podcast game and probably in
every game. It's so it's about money. So it's basically
like these award places are like, give us some money
and we'll consider giving you an award. And it made

(09:20):
me think, how this week yesterday? Yet like I swear
they must do this show year round the way I
get these emails, but the Webbies, yes you consistently I
gave email from the Webbies. And it's always like the
deadline is coming up. I'm like, how's the deadline. The
deadline ain't passed yet. It feels like the deadline been
coming up for six months this Friday, you better hurry

(09:42):
up just the last second. But it's always like, give
us some money and then we'll consider you might possibly
win award. And what I say, the reason I'm bringing
up is because for a show that's been around as
long as ours and I think successful as ours, and
maybe it's not the biggest show, but it's you know,
this outlasted a lot bigger shows. We ain't got a

(10:03):
lot of awards. So y'all's five star reviews, those are
our awards. They are, Yeah, you know, y'all those I
go stars, Yeah, y'all, let us know that Hey, y'all, y'all,
I appreciate it, y'all a good podcast, right, So I
think that's it for the new reviews. There was one
from the twelfth, but I think I read it already

(10:23):
because that would have been eight days ago. But thank
y'all everybody who left us. Uh, well, you know, I'll
read it anyway because I'm not sure. Easily my favorite
podcast by Jeannie or Janey rock Sana renewing my five
star reviews like a just renew my premium membership, The
Black Autists is easily my favorite podcast right of caring

(10:44):
on hilarious. They're also really smart and authentic, which I
really value in the time of content. For content's sake,
you should also you should also definitely go premium to
support the show and get access to a bunch of
other great shows from Ryder Camp. Five stars all day,
every day.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Thank you, thank you, and y'all know Christmas and New
Year's and everybody say how grateful and thankful for we'all
y'all off of us and excuse me, I know a
lot of y'all do New Year's resolution, make your resolution
to leave us the five star.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yes, come on, New Year, New resolution.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, new year, new you.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
All right, let's get into these comments on our episodes
thirty one ninety five chicken Washing seven comments. Let's see
what we got here. Apia says, I want to bring
a new perspective to chicken washing, and it's related to
open your third eye before I do. I know, I'm
a suspicious messenger does this. Apia even wash herself as
a white she does. I shot once a day, and

(11:38):
I watch everything from head to tee, even the legs.
I hope now you are at least willing to listen.
I learned a lot about the immune system in my
farmer time and learned that you if you are when
you are not clean enough, you get infectious infectious diseases.
But when you are too crazy with the cleaning, you
tend to get more allergies. And why is that, Apia?
The immune system, like my brain needs something to do

(11:59):
or will go in saying that I think that harmless
substances are danger and think that harmless sustices are danger, AKA,
it develops allergies. This isn't happening on the showering every
day level, but in the I'm cleaning door knobs, I'm
cleaning my groceries. I'm cleaning the soap.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I'm on drums around me, people.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Because the bacteria on the door knob are not even
arriving anywhere, because on our skin there's an acid barrier
against bacteria enough for most for most stuff. Then there's
an immune system. With all his weapons, I want to
use them. If you take this away from it, it
gets bored and thinks that pollen are dangerous. I'm not
making this up. This is science, and here kills my theory.

(12:38):
The propagator that cleaning more is always better than has
been spread among black people by racists to give them
allergies all in the name being cleaned. They are clearly
evil and this is a sneaky way to bring harm.
Think about it. They would clearly do such a thing.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Not only that a lot of times. And there's nothing
wrong with being clean and cleanliness, but a lot of
times it's so they could say you products too, you know,
because a lot of times, what do they say, you
hear some shit too clean the ship that you're trying
to get rid of. Here's some little bleaching clorox and
things like that, which people buy anyway. But you know,
now I'm about extra because I want to be extra clean.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm gonna reject the theory, but I appreciate the conspiracy
that you are trying to cook with. And I know
you trying to help the people that I showed that
are like it's I wash my chicken with you know,
with a with a super soaker or whatever. I get it,
But you can't save them out here. You just gotta
let them do it. They're not gonna trust it coming

(13:34):
from you no matter what you say. Uh, they think
you work for big farmer and d white man. So
it's just unfortunately, some people in our audience just gotta
they just gotta get to salmonella. They just need that
good old noor virus or whatever. And I think racist
people just think black people are dirty because they're racist.
I don't think they had I don't think they thought

(13:55):
it through further than that.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
It didn't go further than that.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
I don't think they was like and this will get
them allergy and dirt.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's the same, so both of you.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, And I'm just kind of I'm just kind of
against the whole, like the neural the pseudoscigence stuff. I
remember when COVID first happened and y'all remember that brief
period for like three weeks or so where people were
making it a running joke slash serious commentary that black
people could not get it. Yeah, I was like, y'all was,

(14:25):
and that was very dangerous. I was like, people are
gonna die because they anecdotally think this is like a
good take, and it was not, like, like, we don't
have the evidence that black people can get it, so
therefore black people can't get it. And I'm like, I
don't know what y'all are doing, but that's a mistake.
As it is, many black people died during COVID because

(14:45):
we could get it and we could die from it, right.
Sean says on chicken cleaning, most of the bacteria on
the outside of chicken is in the oils and fat.
Water and oil don't mix, so you won't get that
off with water. Along you need an m phyphilic molecule,
soap detergent tee, tannins, cheetah, signs, et cetera to bind
with the oil to actually start to get to the

(15:06):
at the exterior or bacteria. However, doing this will make
it much more difficult to get a juicy, flavorful chicken
with a crispy skin, and soaps and detergiles are often
harmful when ingested. Furthermore, this will not even touch any
bacteria within the chicken or under the skin. In other words,
if you want the flavor and text your your chicken,
and you want to get bacteria all over your kitchen,

(15:28):
don't wash your chicken. And you don't want to get bacteria,
don't wash your chicken. Just cook it at the appropriate
temperature seventy five plus degrees in the civilized world and
one hundred and sixty five plus degrees in the US.
The same temperatures are recommended for pigeons as well, with
sufficient and well chosen spices.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
I've never had pigeon.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, Obbia says, I completely agree, signed Sean. Whatever is
on the skin of the chicken is just part of
the bacteria. It's just a part of the bacteria. The
serious stuff, like an orbic bacteria, the kind of doesn't
need oxygen, is inside anyway. It can only be killed
with heat over a long time. Temperatures like Sean mentioned,
breaks the proteins in the bacteria and they end their

(16:09):
earthly existence. Washing does here. In the best case scenario,
nothing or expreads germs from the outside of the chicken everywhere. Yeah,
I mean, you guys know, y'all are the scientists, and
you know, we all on the same page are sad
that the chicken washing propaganda's where reached our podcast. But
at the same time, I'm not gonna I'll down this

(16:32):
hill and they will die on the salmonella Sean says, also,
no offense to those who listen to Joe Rogan, but
how the audio quality is so poor and the quality
of discourse on the show is so low. How are
people capable of listening to that? You know, sometimes I
wonder about myself because I find it difficult to listen

(16:57):
to so many things that people routinely listen to me too,
and that they find to be essentially either harmless or
not a big deal. And I don't I don't know
if it's a mean thing and I'm just out out
to lunch and this is just a ridiculous thing I

(17:18):
need to let go, or I or if like they're
the world is so fucking ridiculous and they should know
better than to do this because a lot of the
stuff they claim they share with me, how frustrated they are.
But then they keep fucking with.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
It right right, And for me, that's the part maybe
that I don't understand. It's like I have a conversation
with you, we all agree, but yet you listen to
people who say the complete fucking opposite of everything that
you claim that you stand for. I think some people
just think it. I think a lot of people listen
to it as a form of entertainment because they're bored

(17:55):
and things like that, Like they don't actually believe it.
But the problem is a lot of times you do.
But at the same time, they complained about how these
people have these loud as voices. That's how because a
lot of y'all over there just think it's a jokey
it's about ratings.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, I'm just like, how are you able to be
in the chain?

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Boy?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
But maybe I'm just off, you know, maybe I'm a
prude or weird or something like I saw recently this
week Charlemagne and them signed a two hundred million dollar
deal for Breakfast Club and other podcasts with I think
maybe like iHeart and some of a bunch of podcasts
are going to Netflix and all this stuff, sir, And
you know, like I said, not no, it's not even

(18:33):
shade towards them. It's like when we do our rap
every year, it's like those shows are typically in the
top shows of people who listen to us, and I'm
sure more people listen to them than us. So we're
really the ones that are into like the like, if anything,
maybe they look at it they rap like you know,
damn people listen to other shit, or you know, maybe

(18:56):
it's kind of like Nike and Adida. You go to
the store, you buy some shoes. There are those of
us who are like, you know, what is really hitting.
I'm gonna just get what's an iraq in front of me,
and let me get these Nikes, let me get these
uh these addas. I heard of them commercials, And it's

(19:21):
just like because you go to the store, you buy
those shoes, and then there's people it's like, let me
get some hookahs and you like, what are those? It's like, actually,
these are comfortable, very fitted to your feet. They got
you know, they cost a little bit more, it's a
little more time intensive, but like it's actually better shoes
than these other shoes in my opinion. And it's like, yeah,
but when we look at the raw data, who buys

(19:43):
the most shoes. Nike is killing Hoker.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yes, yeah they are. Yeah, they are in a lot.
And sometimes I think for some people it's the fear
of missing out, particularly with social media, because you know,
a lot of times, depending on the podcast, just do
a lot of shit viral and so people don't want
to be left out the loop when the shit goes viral,
of missing the joke, of missing the meme or missing
the gift. I don't care. That's just me so because
I know I'm the weirdo, because I'm like, I don't

(20:07):
give fuck about none of this shit. And the only
time I see it hear about it is when the
same people that complained about the things that they are reposting.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, And I think what happens is I'm now a
person walking around with hocause judging people for having on Nikes.
And that's why I say I feel weird, and part
of me I think about it a lot of like, man,
I should get that judgment or whatever it is out
of my system to a certain extent, just because it's

(20:36):
like being angry at the world for just being the world,
like like what like And you know, I've examined this
in myself before to be like, I don't want to
ever move out of jealousy, So like agreed. You know,
I used there used to be a time where like
Breakfast Club or Joe Budden or Joe Rogan or somebody
would say something on their podcast and we be playing
the clip on our podcast complaining about the shit they

(20:57):
said on their podcast. And I was like, like that
that's ridiculous to a certain extent because it's their show
and they got their things and people listening to them
their things, and they would you know, maybe they do
that to other people, but more you know, it's not
like a two way street where with peers and they're like, yeah,
I was listening to black Out Tops the other day
and I didn't like what they said. So why am

(21:20):
I basically becoming an offshoot of their podcast right right?
And why am I looking at their numbers of listeners
and in print and going they should be using their
ship this way? No, what I can control is how
I use our stuff, right, Let's use our platform for
what we consider to be good, you know, content. And

(21:43):
that's why I'm like, I can't really judge anybody for
listening to Joe Rogan and also listening to Blackout tests
because Joe Rogan is Nikes and we're Hocus. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
They're everywhere, and a lot of times when you go
on your podcast apps and even on YouTube and all
that stuff, they're like the number one things pushed and
promoted at you. So even if you listen to them
and fade away and go to other things, you're gonna
will listen to them because they're kind of almost like
pushed in your face, which one hundred percent makes sense.

(22:16):
And like you say, I'm like you. I don't like
to to move and do things out of jealousy because
my philosophy is this was mine, as mine was yours
is yours. And so you know, the people, the people
who love our show, they found us and they are
here because they want to be here, because they choose
to be here. And that's what I love about it.

(22:38):
I don't want everybody because everybody ain't meant to be here.
And you know, when you get everybody, you get all
the problems that come with trying to cater towards everybody.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, I just think, yeah, And like I said, you
just I had to find my own line because in
my what I realized back in the day is like,
some of the this is just anger at people for
being and doing better than me, or being bigger than
us or whatever, and I have to let that go.

(23:09):
And then some of it is obviously principled. Hey, this
thing that these people are saying is wrong, and I
would say that about anybody. It's not like I want
to be like if I was there, I'd be saying
the same thing. I'm just mad that they got to
say it. No, it's like some of this shit I
think is foul. But anyway, my point being, I think
I'm less I find it. I'm less curious about why

(23:32):
people listen to it. I truly do think it's Nike's
I don't even really judge. I think I would judge
people if they lived by it. If it was like
whatever Joe Rogan says I'm doing, that's a different type
of thing. But like people listening to it, I don't know.
And honestly, I have to examine myself because there's so
much shit I do that I'm like, if someone came

(23:53):
up to me it was like, really, you fuck with that,
I'd be like, yeah, but probably not the way you're thinking.
You know, first taking and shit like that. I don't.
I'm not a Stephen A Smith acolyte, you know what
I mean. It's not like when he said something, I'm like, well,
I gotta you gotta give him credit for that. I
know what he said. I think that was a good point.
It's like, no, it's just on in the background, the

(24:15):
same way I bet Joe Rogan's owning the background for
a lot of people. I agreed, Uh, prass. I'm just
spoiled by podcasts like The Black Optists, where they have
intelligent hosse high quality audio. But I don't see how
people can slum it so hard where that when there
are so many better options out there. Sorry Joe if
you're listening, but well not sorry, he ain't listening. The
last thing I'll say to a Karen Hunter crystallizes for
me this year, and it was honestly one of the

(24:38):
more profound things that I've been introduced to. But she
really said, a lot of people listening to this stuff
because they know they're better than this, and it gives
them a feeling of at least I'm not this superior, yes,
and so they can listen to you know, Mark Lamont
Hill argue with a guy who thinks the Earth is flat,

(25:00):
and there's something they get out of that that is like, well,
i might not be the most smartest person, but I'm
not as dumb as this guy who's arguing with Mark
on my heel, And so I will tune into that
every day and get a little bit of an ego
boost out of not being the worst possible common denominator.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
So yeah, I agree, Just like we talked about how
people watch The Biggest Loser, my six hundred pound you know,
the horder shows and things like that for some people,
with a percentage of people is oh, I'm.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Not that bad. Yeah, And you're not working on yourself,
You're not doing anything, but it makes you give the
same feeling of like I ain't, I ain't. You know
it's a boost. Yes, mature young lady says, greetings, Rod
and Karen. I'm watching my chicken. I don't give a fuck.
That's how I was raised. Now that I got that
out the way, I wanted to share with the Rod
inspired me to start working with a personal trainer. I
hope I fall in love with it like he has.

(25:53):
So far. I'm just sore, but I'm proud. I'm doing
more than I thought I could do. Yeah, absolutely for
you and congratulate. I hope you do like it also
just as a thing, not not necessarily advice, but just
a reminder if if this personal trainer doesn't work for you,
you can always find another. So just because different styles,

(26:14):
just because this person might not work out for you,
doesn't mean I don't like personal trainers or I don't you.
Sometimes you have to find a match. It's just like
therapy two. I think it's a big step because there's
a lot of people out there that will say like
I don't need a personal trainer, or I don't want one,
or I'm intimidated, or they're gonna do this. It really

(26:36):
varies per relationship. What I found is that they listen
to you as the client you're paying them, so that
they're not trying like my hip. I hurt my hip.
It's going on two weeks now. I think over two
weeks it's just now better to where I'm walking without
limping too bad, and I'm probably gonna start working out

(26:57):
upper body again because I tried to do it and
it kind of had some setbacks in the last couple
of weeks, and I was like, Okay, let me really
sit my ass down. And I've gained a little bit
of waight over the last two weeks because of that,
because you know, you go from burning a bunch of
calories and to sitting on the on the couch recovering,
and I you know, and to be honest, it's not
like I was eating the most clean sitting on the couch,

(27:19):
like I was like, fuck it, I'm on the couch.
But today I'm planning on going back in there and
at least doing upper body stuff. And the point being,
what I got from working with the trainer was the
accountability of coming in discussing what I've been doing for
a week, discussing you know, your goals every week and

(27:41):
you don't have to do it every week, could be
once a month whatever. But my point is I've been
thinking about this stuff and I'm conscious of it. And
also I know I won't quit. I know I can
go right back. This is not well, I get man,
I've been hurt for two weeks. That was a fun
couple of years of working out, but it's come to
it and like, no, no, I know I can do

(28:02):
hard things. I know I can persevere. I know I
can build a structured routine. I know I can even
adjust to injury. So knowing that my hip is hurt
and even though it's getting close to back to normal,
I still can go in there and be like, Okay,
we're doing upper body. We're not gonna work that part
of the body, and I can. I can be in

(28:23):
there for a hour and some change doing shit that's
not fucking with my legs. I could not have done
that before I had a trainer. So the knowledge is
what she gave me. The confidence is what she gave me.
And I hope you get that out of it, because
a lot of that stuff is actually more important than
just the like, you know, falling in love with the

(28:44):
having a trainer, it's really more falling in love with
yourself and what you're capable of doing, and having that
confidence of I can walk in the gym look at
some equipment and I could I could figure something out
for the next hour and half or whatever, and he's
totally fine. And honestly, like the last two weeks is

(29:05):
I missed going to the gym and it affects my
mental health in some ways, not like I'm depressed or sad,
but I find myself scrolling in social media, and I'm like, ugh,
why why do I feel such a yucky ass feeling? Oh,
because I really wasn't scrolling in as much because I'd
be in the gym, driving to the gym, coming from

(29:26):
the gym for three hours every day, and that was
just time I wasn't on here, and so I wasn't
seeing every time Trump like burped or whatever the fuck,
and my mind was just feeling a lot more refreshed
than how it feels now rolling in the mud. But anyway,
good luck Russia. Hof you're trying to touch you, not

(29:48):
to wastch chicken. Mss Anderson says Rod. They don't give
a damn about the bacteria. They think the chicken been
rolling in mud before they package it. Miss Anderson, I
know I'm trying to save these enoramoses. They won't listen
to your boy.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
They're diving this mud for they package me up.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
They think the AP is out. They get them, the AP,
you know, the same people Trump beaning. That's see, that's
why I can't get into this conspiracy shit. Trump thinks
the AP is out to get him and band them
from the White House and had to go to Supreme Court.
So they get back in there and I'm supposed to go.
Those are the real bad guys the AP. That's what
happened with the CDC. And if you don't push back,

(30:29):
this is how shit ends up getting fucked up. Right
even he says, I washed my chicken and my rights
because I do what I want. Yeah, you also eat armists.
Let's see comments on the tube. On YouTube, we got
chicken washing three one nine five four comments. Let's check

(30:51):
these comments out. I'm about to go listen to episode
seventeen seventy eight right now, says Shane Shane Smith or
Shae Shae said Shane Smith or whatever I forgot which
let me go check out the title of that episode
to see what it is. Uh uh, just so we

(31:14):
can find out what's seventeen seventy Oh this whole guy
roaches in the CREB review. Yeah that was fun. It
was apparently a huge hit for us last year. Unbeknownst
to us.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, cause we did not know.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
I don't know who told y'all go listen.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
We did not know the crossover. We did not know
that the people are like I read this book. Let
me go find out who talked about this.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
The girl on the other side of the road says,
do people not know that the lemon and vinegar make
the chicken tough and that's why they chicken be dry
as hell? Girl, don't get me tarted. JJ smile says,
it's great show. I love the Spotify rap section rap
section two. Did you know a young black woman created
Spotify rapp is part of her internship with the company.
Spotify never gave her any credit or offer her a

(31:55):
position with the organization. I was surprised, but also not surprised. Lol. Yes,
I did know that that story goes around every single
year the rap comes up. Yeah, I the problem. The
problem is, while I understand her being a sympathetic figure,

(32:17):
is that is kind of what you sign up for
when you do an internship or something with these people.
They get your IP. It's like when I worked at
Game Theory, I came up with some really cool, fun
shit and if they decided to do it and say
the show blew up and they didn't bring me back
for season three. I mean I could feel away, but

(32:41):
they didn't do me dirty. It's what I'm saying, Like,
it's my job was to come up with shit. It
happens all the time, video games, any creative outlet, and
where you're getting a check to come up with ideas. Man,
I'm just gonna tell y'all right now, Man, do not
be surprised. This is the game. They it could be

(33:04):
the biggest fucking thing in the world that can make
all the money off of it. But because of how
you signed whatever to do the job that you're doing,
they are not required to be like grateful or thankful
beyond just we wrote you a check and that was
at the internship at the time. Good luck do it.
I guess go do rap for some other people, but

(33:25):
we don't want that here anymore. We already got what
we think is the best idea from you. It sucks,
but yeah, that story goes around every year and it's
kind of like, man, that's the game. I feel bad
for her and that it's the game, but also kind
of like, yeah, you just had to know that that's
the game. I'm not trying to tell you what to do,

(33:46):
but you know, that's why sometimes people keep the ideas
for themselves and then once they got go out on
their own, then.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
They they starting it.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
They come up with their shit on you know, it's
like if it's like if if game theory in my
contract was like anything you come up with while you're
writing here, we own it, I wouldn't write my script
to my pilot, script to my movie or whatever. I'd
be like, no, not wait till all am out of
contract because y'all not about to own that right or

(34:15):
be like you know, oh you came up with that
when it was working for us. We own the ip
for this, we own the rights to sell it first. Nah,
I'm good then, And and you do have to read
your contracts because it be in a lot of contracts,
like with Spotify and iHeart and all the stuff. They
always have like a writer first refusal for us. So
if me and Karen everything, we're with our heart right
now through inflection, through the Inflection network inflection point, if

(34:41):
we I'm sure it's in the contract because I've read it.
If we were to be like we're coming up with
a spin off show or brand new podcast, it's called
the Ride and Karen Podcast, and it's not gonna be
like the Blackout Tips, but it's gonna be me and Karen.
We have to go to them first while we're in
the contract with them, Like, do y'all want the rights
to like advertise, monetize, exclusivity, whatever, and they now more

(35:07):
than likely they will be like, no, we're good. We
want to ride a Carora show, not the I mean,
we want the black out tips, not to write a
car show. But we still have to run it by them.
We can't just start that show and then come back
later when they're like, you violated the contract and be
like what nah, I thought we were just friends. We're
not friends. Christophe says, just went back to listen to

(35:27):
episode seventeen seventy eight. My only ways for Christmas is
riding Karen to do more. Nig Literature Reviews review of
Kwimemells was so funny. Did you read the book? I
feel like I was the only one that read it.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
We read it, we read it together.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
You read it too, Okay, all right, yeah I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Read several of those books. I forgot we did we read.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Several of the Quan Meals book? Oh oh yeah, yeah,
definitely for sure. Yeah. I didn't know you read them too,
That's all. But yeah, you know, man, that was fun.
That was a good period. I don't know if I
do it. It was that conflict of interest because I
enjoyed doing them tremendously, yes, but there were some uptight

(36:07):
motherfuckers that thought that was just they just took the
fun out of it.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
They sucked the fun out that goddamn room y'all did.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
And maybe now we could do it and they leave
us alone. But man, I just remember at that time
they were like it was a lot of respectability shit.
Then it was like then there was like rumors quad
Mills as a white man, which I went out found
and interviewed that man, he's not white, but you could argue,
like you don't like it's harmful still, you know, kind
of like the Tyler Perry of it all, where people
don't like Tyler Perry even though you know, technically Tyler Perry,

(36:38):
you know, it's just an artist doing this thing, and
a lot of people have been helped by some people.
Of course, you know there's writers and stuff that don't
fuck with them. But anyway, my point being, uh, it
made me think about how fun, how much fun we
had doing it, And I wonder if now if we revisited,
people would just leave us alone, let us cook, because

(37:00):
I think y'all going to listen to that. In twenty
twenty five, means we were onto something. Yes, we were,
because in twenty twenty five, y'all was able to go
back and be like, actually, this shit was hilarious. I'm like, well,
they were just ahead of our time. So maybe that's
something we work in. I don't know, Maybe we start
a book club in twenty twenty six. We'll see.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yeah, yeah, we might give give a certain period of
time and then review it and yeah, you know. And
the thing is, I think that that would be And
the thing is, y'all, this is actually more work for us.
But I think, you know, doing it like once every
quarter or something like that would be fun.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, we'll think about it. Also crazy how the world works.
In the beginning of the episode, Roder mentioned that there
was a lot of tragedy going on in the real
world at that time. It was strange that there was
so much tragedy this weekend. It was almost as if
I was listening to round from the past talk about
the future. Well, tragedy is always happening somewhere. Dog. We
let's check the pole. Oh no, the comments on Spotify, Yes,

(37:59):
comments on Spotify. Then we'll come back to the pole.
So once again, Episode three one, nine to five chicken washing.
The feedback show comments four okay, four comments on this
episode on Spotify. Let's see here Byron says, wash my

(38:19):
meat to wash away the old smelly blood that has
been sitting in You can also cook it away. But okay,
mister Spotify says they should have the cold and a
Coke ugly Christmas sweater during the week of Christmas. They
miss They missed the spot. My guess is Christmas movie
going has declined. This super extensive, expensive endeavor with Coke

(38:41):
can which Coke can afford, doesn't solve the issue, but
a little social media gossip can keep the momentum going.
In twenty twenty six, I can't keep up the charae.
I just want to see Kidman in the Coke sweater,
the cringy Coke ad can kick Coke rocks, stay dope, y'all. Yeah,
he's talking about the Coke Heidman in the before the
movie thing. Uh yeah, why not just change her wardrobe.

(39:03):
That's such a good point. Just change the same speech,
different clothes for the different seasons of the year.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
You yeah, cg something, Just clothes and keep it trucking.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
They should change the theme four times a year. You
should do it like a Christmas theme. You should do
like maybe a summer movie blockbuster type theme. You should
do a scary movie like Halloween type theme. I don't
know what the first quarter of the year theme. Maybe
romance for Valentine's Day. That's the idea, man, Hit me up,

(39:38):
Nicole Kiman. Let's don't change the speech, Just change the
fucking clothes and take away that shitty Coca Cola ad.
No one likes that. I hear the music in my
head every time I see it. Shoe Booty says, oh
a Vegas run time right right around fun time, right

(39:59):
around my birthday. Don't don't mind if I do. We'll
see you out that shoe Boody. Heya, save a chair
for me at the craps table.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
I don't even know how to play.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
I don't know. I play craps for it.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
No play none of them games.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
I don't know what games they got it? Do they
got talking Vegas?

Speaker 2 (40:13):
They got twenty one?

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Can you play spades in Vegas?

Speaker 2 (40:16):
You got gold fish?

Speaker 1 (40:17):
I'm sure they don't let you play spades in Vegas
if somebody would have been got shot at the course.
Uh initial Agocio says, hey, yo, I'm one of those
Thailand listeners. Be what up from Bangkok? Been listening? Says
twenty eleven. Shout out to tiwn to you baby. We
love to see it, we do, and Tie Fried Rice,
we love to eat it. Okay we do. All right,

(40:40):
let's get into the next one. But first we have
to have, of course, commercial break. Now we're gone quite
some time, forty minutes into the show before we got
our first commercial break. Can't be mad at that. There

(41:23):
you go, guys, go sign up for pro life abortions
from ICE. I don't know what they told, y'all.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
I ain't no telling them what you got.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
I don't know what they sold, y'all. Don't know what
them fire commercial was about. Okay, it's really whatever your
cookies is saying on your phone. Okay, if it's your
general area, if it's about the erectile dysfunction. Man, you
was googling that, Okay.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
That's not my fault about your general area. It was.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
It was not funny, but it was ironic that a
person was I know they at least used to listen
to show. They may still listen, but it was just
like a general person complaining kind of about the ads.
On podcasts, and there was like, man, I hate these
AI generate like these ads where they just almost like
insert them and cut you off in the middle of
your sentence and shit. And I was like, and there

(42:09):
was you know, it was like and what what happened
when you could just like have live reads and the
advertisers would just send you something and read. It'd be
more smooth transition in the show. You just move on
to the next thing. And I missed those days too,
and I was just like, yeah, the like, it's not
the podcasters, it's the advertisers. They just flipped up on us.
They don't send you. You gotta be in like the

(42:30):
top one percent of podcasts to even get a live
read ad were just where you're reading like hello Fresh
and whatever or friends or whatever. And a lot of
times even with those, they'll actually have you pre record
and insert the same live ad every time, so you're
not doing the live read the way we used to

(42:52):
do them. And then even with those podcasts, I'm talking
top one percent of podcasts, right after they do that,
they normally insert they call it dynamic insertion, some ads
from just the AI local whatever. And I think the
reason that happens is even though we know host live
red ads are actually more effective then you're getting. Then

(43:16):
the stuff people fast forward through, they gonna skip it.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Even though they know that, I think they don't care
because they're actually more trackable, meaning they can actually tell
to the second how much y'all listen to each ad
that we put in our feed, I'm not and that's
not a call for y'all to listen to all the
ads and slow down or whatever. That's I'm just saying,
this is why the game is the way it is,
and this isn't Jermaine. Just our podcast is the all podcasts.

(43:45):
So when you hear a podcast and it's just here's
here's five ads, that's what advertisers want now. And I
think podcasters for the most part, at least me and
uh a lot and fans for the most part would
prefer that. If I had to do an ad, it
would be hey, man, I was using Hello Fresh the

(44:08):
other day and it's personalized and our things.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Because we use the product, you can tell more about
the product, you can be more detailed.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Right, So sorry.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
The poll for last episode was do you wash your chicken?
Fort yes, fifty one No, so shout out to us.
We barely in the majority, but enough of us are
changing the ways we're not washing our chickens. Thirty one
ninety six pancake pepper Steppers. This Swiss Saron Russell, who
just had his album come out a stand up special

(44:41):
come out on YouTube. Son of Sumter the comments five.
Karen Newsy says, Yo, Karen was on fire this episode.
The joke about a wife keeping and rewatching the delivery guy,
that sounds hot as fuck. I'm glad to think so. Baby. Yeah,
certain certain guests, I feel like Karen is more like

(45:03):
I'm I'm all up in this and I love it.
I love the energy. Sean says great back and forth
this episode. Talking about Child's experience with the Southern accent
reminded me the last time I was stayside. It seems
to me that the accent in the South has wanned
a great deal since when I was a child. Back
in the eighties, there seemed to be a lot more
regional flavor and accents, whereas now everything is much more suitable, subtle.

(45:26):
I don't know, maybe it's just me, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, and it just kind of depends and people have
a lot of people from other areas, particularly and Charlotte,
have migrated. So Charlotte isn't what it used to be
used to go, you know, particularly here. I'm speaking to
Charlotte specifically. People used to be born and raised here.
That's kind of different than like it is now where
you have a lot of transplants and things like that.
For my you know, understanding, But but you're gonna have

(45:50):
some people and my and my accent is it really
that thick like you go to the other some places?

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Uh depend on your accent? Is that thick? But go
ahead and keep going. My my accent is thick, But
it is that thick. They said, it isn't that thick.
I'm saying I disagree.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
It is that my accent is that it is that thick.
So when I opened up my mouth, you know where
I'm from.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
Yeah, but yeah, I think Karen said it exactly. It's
just a lot of people have moved here that aren't
from here, and so maybe that's why the accent has dissipated.
But it's just I think of the people who live here,
we still have it, you know.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
So uh.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Yeah, matter of fact, I was in New York and
it felt like man New Yorkers don't really have that
New York accent. But guess what, I was in Manhattan
working with a bunch of transplants. I'm sure that if
I kept hanging out and going places that were more stores,
there were a lot more locals there that had been
priced then moved out, and shit, I'm sure I would
have I would have seen a lot more like Yes,

(47:04):
that's the New York that I have have heard a
lot about. I just says, I'm glad for him that
he's that dating is easier now, but would really like
to know why it's so much better for men than
women todate now as it seems, I'm not so interested
that I would do the research, and I don't think
mister Apia would be could be convinced that this was necessary.

(47:25):
It's just for science. I didn't even notice how hot
the guy was. But why there are about as many
men as women, So it can't be because of supply
and demand. Of course, the man who will read it,
rod would be the exception, social skills top and also
respectful and interesting. But what about other men? Why they
Why is dating? Why is dating so bad? Or is
it not as bad? Am I jumping on the gender

(47:47):
wars bandwagon here? Maybe? I mean I can't answer any
of these questions. You gotta ask sarom on social media,
and I don't. I never know what to think about
dating because mostly when you hear people talk about it,
there's never a time they thought it was good. Like

(48:09):
if you took a time capsule, a timeshot of everybody's
thoughts on dating, and on any given day, ever, it's
always like this is the worst. It must have been
better before this. Surely it cannot have always been as bad.
So I don't know what I'm assuming it just changing.
And also, like dating must be hard because a lot

(48:30):
of times dating is a lot of rejection, you know,
Like dating is not like shopping for like going to
the mall and you go I love shopping because you
know when you go to the mall, you're leaving with something.
You don't necessarily know what you're leaving with, but you
know you're leaving with something. I imagine dating must be

(48:52):
a little bit closer to like buying a car or
a house or something like where's were like it's in
where that's Actually one of the most stressful things people
go through is buying a car, and you go, well,
while would buying a car be stressful? Like, aren't you
looking forward to shopping? Like? No, Now I'm thinking of
long term things, short term things. Who you know is

(49:15):
the last right?

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Is it secretly damaged? And I don't know, rights of
the hood, all types of shit, right, this car that
got some previous owners, somebody else already with this car? Right?
Who baby seas in the back of this car?

Speaker 2 (49:30):
And what's happening him?

Speaker 1 (49:31):
So I feel like that That's why I think the
dating thing is is whatever. I also don't know that
if I don't remember him saying it's easier for men
than women or or harder for men than women. I
really don't remember what I'm saying. I don't think that came.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Everybody complained about it.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Yeah, and knowing his comedy and stuff, I don't think
he would say that. Rona Rafaiel says, great convo, great tipics.
I got the special on YouTube, queued up the watch,
excited to check it out. Now do hell rider Carron
on my comments to kill the vibes type or nine.
This is for research purposes, hit me with the feedback
within the feedback episode, I dig some wrong and hope
he returns back sooner. I don't think your comments are

(50:12):
to kill the vibe type. But at the same time,
like anybody that leaves a lot of comments, we get
to know them, they get to know us, and I
have no choice but to assume and because you know
the nature of our show, that all of y'all who
leave a lot of comments must be comfortable with some

(50:35):
pushback to the comments, giving push back to us, some
jokes to their comments, giving jokes to us. Yes, I
think the most important thing we can all do with
the comments section, and I've been working on it and
trying to do my best at it, especially with those
of y'all who hit us up often, is to always
assume good intent. Yes period, yea.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
It makes it easier for all of us if we
can all just assume good intent and if something gets
some wires get crossed, we'll try to fix it, will
try to You know, this is our this is jazz zimprov.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
None of this is playing. I don't know what y'all
gonna say. Y'all know what I'm gonna say, right, I
don't know what I'm gonna say, so so like and
then some and then there's just a bunch of variables. Right,
Maybe I'm tired. Maybe your comment is fine, but it's
the nineteenth comment, and I don't got the I don't
got the energy I have for comment one. You know,

(51:30):
like it could be any fucking thing. It's not like
maybe maybe you was serious this time and you ain't
feel like making jokes and I was reading it as
a joke.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
You just we just never know.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
We're all taking chances with each other. But I don't
think you're killed a vibe content comments. But also I
do like making fun of you as so I hope
you're not taking it serious that I'm making fun of you.
You know, I see you in person. I'm still gonna
give you dap and hug you and at whatever everybody

(52:00):
in and from the tone of your comments, you seem
to be able to like know that, Okay, Rid's gonna
give me some grief over this, and that's been fine
with me, Yes, sir, even he said Saron was so funny.
He hoped to hear from him again. Surprise. He thinks
dating is easier today because someone once said the dating
pull is treacherous and sp in it. Yeah, he said
it on a special two, but yeah, I don't, I don't,

(52:25):
I don't know. I don't know. Like it might be
easier for him today than it was back in the
day for a bunch of reasons.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
And it just depends because you know, years ago, you
basically people have to be in your proximity. Now you
have a more of an open world. Everything is online.
You kind of get access to more people in the
faster method than you did years ago. Dating.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Yeah, it's interesting because I could see that, you know,
both ways. Yeah, like you can see people that are
like I like that, and there's other people that's like
that makes it feel like cheaper, more expendable, and we're
not getting know each other.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
And yeah, a lot of it no personal preference, like
like I know me, I nigga, I been a bump
into you because I know me. I'm like, I'm not
doing no apps, like, but that's just me personally, not
to say, not to say if something was happening I
had to, but I but I know me. I don't
like that, Like if, like I said, for me, person
feels too impersonal to feel like swipe swipe, swie, get
rid of, get rid of, get rid of. So I'm

(53:21):
like nope, you nigga better find me at.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
A grocery store. Yeah. Well, like I said, you said
that as a person that hasn't had the date, so
true too. I have no idea. I don't really want
to know. I have no expertise. Touff.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
That's not my plan to know.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
And I'm sure that it you know, like I said,
it's probably like car shopping. Just it's frustrated no matter
how it works out a little bit like it's a
little frustration been onto the process, my guess. Let's see.
Oh comments on YouTube for this episode. We had five

Cool. Saron is kind of my homeboy, says Adrian j
I'm from Terrell County, Georgia. But I'm chilling in the
rocky mountains these days. Funny show guys, Sir Spoonfold says,

Thurston after Jonathan Bailey since his season of Bridgerton. They've
been borderline rabbit to be honest. Oh word, I didn't

(54:43):

was like that. But you know, shout out to shout
out to him. We love to see it. Okay, anytime

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Yes we are.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Comments on Spotify, soul Power says, great show as always.
I want to thank Rider Karen, to everyone that gifted
premium subscriptions, Mary Christmas, Joyous Kwansa and Blessed New Year,
to all the black outips fan piece and blessing so
he must have received one. But yeah, thank y'all to
everyone who did it. Like I said, I matched them.
I know I didn't say I would match him, but
I just went ahead and did it because I was

(55:19):
like Mary Christmas to everybody. But man, then most people
wrote in I was like, I can't keep up. But
now I'm just broke. I don't like now, I'm just
doing bad. I'm bad at business. I can't bad at accounting. Yeah,
I'm like, damn fuck, you make no money. Last year
I was giving stuff. I wanted people to be happy.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
It was Christmas.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Please accounting, don't take it all. Don't take all the money. Right.
We got real.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Accountants and they're gonna be like, hey, we need to
get paid to What do you doing?

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Rod TP twenty one says not the pancake, pepper Steppers
and white Dog. Here. I am minding my business driving
on these snow covered Cincinnati streets. When Saron dropped that gym,
y'all about having me in the ditch laughing, Yeah, he's
so funny. And that was so funny. Yes man, that
became the title of the episode. I made it the
show art everything because that was like such a clutch

(56:08):
fucking hilarious joke. Because Alan I got damn song the
k pepper Steppers. The poe was are you a kill
the vibe type like Rod and sarone Yes or no?
Fifty five percent of y'all said yes, forty five percent
said no. Surprised by those numbers, I don't ever feel
like I'm amongst the fifty five percent when I'm hanging out.

(56:29):
Maybe there's one of us in every group. I don't know,
you know what.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Yeah, that's the and that's the thing. That's why everybody
kind of don't know because you're the one and fifty
percent is by themselves.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
Yeah. But yeah, like I said, man, I don't It's
not even like a point of pride. It's it's it's
like a thing I wish I could turn off. Sometimes
sometimes I can, but man, like I started shaking my
head when I'm like, I'm gonna have to say something, right,
am I gonna have to be the one? Why can't
I let this slide?

Speaker 2 (57:01):
Why can't I let it go like everybody else and
ignore it? I just can't.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Even with my dear friends that I love and ship,
I'll be like, but but no, what, No, that don't
make sense.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
What are you talking about? My friend?

Speaker 1 (57:14):
And I love you, and I actually don't want you
washing your chicken. That that is bad. I don't want
I want you to be around. I want to let
this go, but I also don't want you to be
like I got smonella poison and I'm in the hospital.
Why didn't you warm me? Ro, Why didn't you warm me?
I'm on my death ben hut me down. The doctor

(57:35):
gave me one call to blame somebody, and I'm blaming you.
I heard you could have told me. You didn't say nothing.
All right, let's go to uh let's go to another
break and then we'll come right back and do some more.

(58:23):
All right, let's get to the next one. Thirty one
ninety seven. Laugh with Us was the title of the
episode where we had on Jeremy Odam from the Laugh
with Me podcast. We had three comments on our website,
ron the Rafaela's another fire episode. I appreciate Jeremy Odam's
grocery stories. You're also right about Eddington. I saw it

(58:43):
in the theater when it came out, and it felt
awkward at the end. I couldn't describe it then back then,
but maybe because I rarely talked movies online or even
with most people nowadays. I was just like, this movie
hit me in the spot that I didn't expect. But
at the same time, I did appreciate during the watchings
seeing the pandem madness on screen. Maybe that's what was
on the minds of all of us walking out the theater,

(59:04):
or some people finally felt shame for their actions back
then they trash Only Warfare had an even quieter theater
at the end, But that's another convo. Teasing Spoiled movie
review says nice guy, Funny episode. EV says, I think
the I think comedy has evolved so much because of
the Internet. Some of the mystique is gone because a
lot of people want to see a comedian be a
part of the show instead of listening and oh, to

(59:27):
be a part of it. So they want to be
a part of the show instead of listening instead of.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
I've seen Adien members like that, but I didn't pay
to see you.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
Yeah, instead of listening and enjoying. And when the comedian
is different from what they see on the internet, they
can plain. I don't envy comedians at all.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
It's a hard job.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
And the uh YouTube comments, let's see if you got
in here one comment, Yo, Jeremy was a refreshing white
says Jason, Come on through it. I enjoyed good Breeze.
I enjoyed this episode a lot. His grocery tales were wild.
For some reason. When he was telling the pepper spray story,

(01:00:08):
I kept thinking about the top flight security of the world.
Crag got right, man got pepper sprayed behind them. Groceries
don not me. Kevin says, guys, I love your show.
You two always made me laugh. Normally Rider is the
one with the killer one liners. But this show Kring
was on fire. She had one spot on banger after another.
I laughed so much, sounded like I was on much

(01:00:31):
drunk around this week. You was I'm proud of myself
you killing you? Yeah, like I love it. You know,
I've encouraged it for years, And yes, you want me
to be.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
More insertive side I've been I've been trying to have
I've been noticing because the jump roping part, the jump
rope part, it's kind of hard sometimes because because mentally
I'm not gonna say some here, say some here, say
some here. But I I had to learn to treat
it like three guys on because when I'm with them,
I just jump in, like, no matter what's happening, even
if it changes the subject sometimes jump in and work

(01:01:06):
around you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
And also you have we have a delay sometimes, and
so the timing is never gonna perfectly line up because
we're like one second delay maybe, And I hear it
sometimes when we're talking to guests, or I'm like, oh,
he'll hear what I'm saying a second after I say it.

(01:01:27):
So sometimes you have to anticipate the breaks in the
conversation instead of waiting for the break. And it's tough.
You know, it's hard to do this job, and it's
better to me it's for you and the guest to
err on the side of saying too much and then
I'll try to adjust to around it rather than y'all

(01:01:53):
not saying shit, and then it just is an awkward
dead silence or just the joking time and his way off.
So I think you're doing a great job.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
Because I know I could talk. So I was like, well,
I don't want to say too much, but like you said,
you've you've kind of uh set up the platform that
just allows me to kind of move around and things
like that. So I do appreciate. I do appreciate that.
And I love like cracking jokes because it makes your
mind race and and things like that. And they say
something and it makes your mind tickets, so you want
to add on to it or go in another direction

(01:02:23):
or make you think about something.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Yeah, and it's uh and it varies per guests. Yes,
some guests are easier to do that with the others,
Like I love Mike Caplan, but you know, Mike can
go on for a while and you have to like
cut him off or you have to wait for him
to come back around and then you can do your thing.
And then because he goes longer, it makes us have

(01:02:45):
to go a little longer because you know that he's
gonna take the batime from you and walk and go
with it a certain old So yeah, and each show
is different, like when he comes back more often, we
can do a little bit more segments and those are
a little quicker than just the life meanderings. But I
like the life meanderings so too. I'm just glad people

(01:03:06):
are enjoying our guests, and especially enjoying Karen. Yay. Let's see.
So that was YouTube and then comments on uh, do
we have any comment? Did I read the comment already
on Spotify? I feel like I did, but let me
make sure. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was the Karen

(01:03:27):
is on fire and then the poe do you enjoy sports?
Yes or no? Eighty nine percent of y'all enjoy sports,
so at eleven percent don't and you know what that is.
You know what that is. It's that when people don't
enjoy sports or don't get references. And I don't mean
this to be addicted to y'all non sports people, but god,

(01:03:48):
y'all love to tell us y'all don't get it. Oh
my god, Oh my god. You are not the vocal
you are the vocal minority. You're not the solent majority.
You got It's like we make a sports reverence like
I don't know what you're talking to ut it's like
I don't know. I mean, you could google, or you
could just let that moment pass. And so I get

(01:04:10):
in my head when we talk about things where sports
comes up, like maybe people don't want to hear this shit,
because every once in a while one of y'all well
write in on some like, I mean, I don't know
why y'all talk about sports so much. And I think
I've made it outside in my head because if ninety
percent of y'all get it, then the sports reverences and
segments and hot topics and random thoughts I feel like

(01:04:32):
are totally valid within the context and framework of our podcast.
And I'm not going to hold back anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
It is and Also, for those of you behind the
pay all balls deep sports in like are in pregame,
are like some of some of the favorite like premium shows,
and we talk about sports, but the way we talk
about sports is like different. So there are people that
listen to that show go oh, I don't know nothing
about sports, but when I listen, I learned about things.

(01:04:59):
You know, because context matters. Because most people are listening,
they might not understand the person or who we're talking about,
but that can understand the context around what we're talking about,
and that's the part that makes it funny and make
you able to get the joke even if you don't
know anything about that person or what that person does.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Let's go to the next episode, no break, let's finish
this thing off, guys. The last episode of the week
is UH three one nine eight The Mama Razi with
Mike Kaplan, very fun episode. I Guess five. Apia says,
I have many thoughts. One it seems Mike is your

(01:05:36):
white friend Rod. The proof is there. I see this
uh this and this love and your voices and war
over our warmness. Just admit it. Why are you approaching
me like I wouldn't like I would not admit it.
Why are you acting like you're pulling out a spotlight
and interrogate me. I know Mike is my friend now, Personally,

(01:05:57):
I don't see color, so he's just a friend. Okay,
I don't see color. What I see is unconventional spellings
of names. That's why I count Mike as my uh
myq mike friend. He's my mic friend and the only
one that I have. But uh, I think what is
happening here is that it probably sticks out to you

(01:06:20):
when I say when I had white friends, and what
you're thinking is that means I don't have any friends.
I'm not friends with any white people. That is that
is wrong. Allow me to explain, since I pretty much
never do anymore. There was a period of time when
there was a group of people where I was one

(01:06:41):
of the few black people that hung out with those
white people. We played fantasy football and stuff like that.
Cool guys, but that was collectively known as my white friends.
I had those white friends from probably about when I
turned twenty one ish till I was a thirty about

(01:07:08):
thirty or so. Maybe it may have even been longer
than thirty. It might have been like thirty five or so.
I don't remember exact run, but what happened was when
Trump was running for office again the first time, there
just started to be some schisms because, like many black

(01:07:31):
people have this experience. I'm sure if you're in a
friend group and in that group a lot of them
are white majority of my life, and I had never
had a group of majority white friends anywhere in my
life before, even with me going to advanced classes or whatever,
I always went to schools that were public schools. I
went to a community college. I mean, I went to
a college that was an HBCU public college. So I've

(01:07:54):
just mostly been around black people my whole life. That's
been my friend group. It wasn't like a conscientious choice
of like I hate white people just just the same
way proximity type shit. And I was never shunning white people.
Just didn't work out that I had a lot of
white friends whatever. But in this group, when that Trump

(01:08:17):
shit happened, I saw the what I would have to
put up with as a black person in the white space.
And I don't know nothing about what I'm saying, it's special.
I'm pretty sure every single black person listening to this
that's ever been in a similar situation knows exactly what
I mean. White people may or may not know what
I mean. But there's just stuff that white people accept,

(01:08:39):
like you get to be a certain amount of conservative,
and that's just part of the Hey, that's just him. Haha.
He's gonna vote Republican because he always does. And it
doesn't matter the Republican is hard are racist, or if
they're just like a social fiscal conservative, it doesn't matter
to them that they're just Hey, they were raised that,

(01:09:00):
you know. Okay, yeah, his grandpa's racist, but he loves
his racist grandpa and he actually thinks it's kind of
cute that his grandpa's racist. You know, little microaggression type
things like that that make you go, I don't think
I'm I don't think I want to be here for
my own mental health, right, and I don't want this
to be a source of conflict for me where I
show up and I'm you know whatever. And there's other

(01:09:22):
stuff I'm not even pointing out that just happened where
either I wasn't around or something happened and people told
me about like some racist shit that one of them did.
But everyone's still kicking it with the racist guy and
I'm just supposed to, I guess roll my eyes when
that the racist is at the same party as me.
I couldn't do it. And so whenever I say when

(01:09:43):
I had white friends, I mean that collective group of
white people. I've had friends that are white since then.
Like that's there's not like a mean, I don't know
if I'm keeping tallies, but it's not like I'm finding
to be that huge a deal. You know, I count
Keith as a white friend. You know, I know him
that was Jewish, but you know, the white friend or

(01:10:06):
you know, maybe and maybe there's levels of friendship, like
there's associates and stuff like that. But anyway, I freely
with a lot of liked white people. So Mike is
in the group sure of white friends that I have,
but he's not in the white friend group. If you
know what I'm saying, That white friend group is a
specific group of people.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Specific group. Two.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
Mike has figured out, Uh, Mike has something figured out
is love what you have. He was Polly and loved it.
He isn't probably anymore and loves it. That's pretty great,
and it means he loves his life in different versions.
Smart Three. I like the gender Wars more than the
five stars because of the Asian man she mentioned they

(01:10:47):
were this was bringing some new potential to it. Yeah,
I think if the comments would have had Asian men biting,
would I would have scored it a higher. But nobody
took the bait.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
I was really surprised. Yeah, Asian man with it came in.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
I was really surprised at how little bait people took
because no, I mean, it's not We're not sending our
best and brightest to the front line of the Gender Wars,
if you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
The infantry is not.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
Necessarily scoring these tests and scouting for the best, and
a lot of times it's like stuff that we immediately
see through and we look into comments and there's just
thousands of people upsetting. You're like, damn, I guess it
did work. This was like the first time where I
was like, man, everybody understood the Simon Sean says, wow,

(01:11:36):
this week, you really brought the guests. I recently heard
Mike on Realms Unknown, and he's always great to listen to.
Ronald Raphael says man this week was fire with extra
sauce from the comedic trio Guess, which with one of
my favorite buddhists, Mike wrapping it up. This is why
this podcast is the best. By the way, that quote
about love from your high school friend is beautiful and
so true. Lots of gems on this episode, plenty to
put on a T shirt. Happy Holidays, Roy Caring in

(01:11:59):
the black outis Nation, Eat good, don't wash your bird,
Avoid Arby's and the Parabi Karan loves you all forgot.
That's a damn good pole. Have me sweating like the
man and the meme over there whish to pick fuck
fuck George Cleoney, never forget. And the pole is which
is better a cohesive split or conscious uncoupling. We'll get
to the results in the second. He says, nobody does

(01:12:21):
the pretentious pretentious like Gwyneth Paltrow, So nothing beats a
conscious uncoupling. A cohesive split sounds like someone broke their
arm and it was a clean break. Nice. Try Amy
Schumer to out Gwyneth Paltrow. You can't out Gwyneth Paltrow.
Everybody know that you listen, it's only one. Uh the
Who does George Cloney think he's kidding? I bet someone

(01:12:43):
said he looks like an old man next to all
the young starlets they cast him with, because heaven forbid
they cast an age appropriate female league Hunter Biden should
roast him some more. I am, I am routinely surprised,
and I know what it is. I think I know
that I have a conspiracy theory about what it. Okay,
I don't know what it is. I'm making it up
my head, cannon about what is happening in Hollywood with

(01:13:05):
these actresses. Is this the people who make movies at
the top, like the executives, the CEO. That the people
at the top in Hollywood have to be a bunch
of older white men, Okay, powerful rich, older white men,

(01:13:27):
And if you look at their pictures, they are not
physically as attractive as the actors and the people that
are casting any drops okay right like they I'm not
saying they're ugly. Necessarily they might even look good for
just a hey, you look good for a fifty five
year old white man. In any part of the country,
they'd be like, that's a nice looking white man. But

(01:13:48):
you aren't fucking Hollywood, which means you are in the
land of come gutters and racks and all this other.
So like you be a billionaire, but you ain't possibly
the top one percent of who looks attractive in Hollywood. Okay, right,

(01:14:10):
Like you're like, this is not like an athlete. Like
it's like if Lebron James also ran paramount, you'd be like,
that dude's smashing everything. I get it. But no, it's
you know, it's I mean, for lack of a better example,
but it's like Hardy Weinstein. You're like, no, there's no what.
No one wants to be with that. But because of
the power dynamics and everyone trying to get something from them,

(01:14:30):
I feel like they are smashing so much tail. Okay,
top tennins and tens only.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
Yes, and and and and uh, it's kind of slowed down.
But if you pay attention, there's been a big trend
of these white starlets in the twenties marrying a lot
of these dudes.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
Like, yeah, it hasn't even really slowed down. You're right
in those positions. Almost all those dudes has a super
high and young wife or something like that, or they're
in a relationship with this director.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
They divorced they wife and then they remarried an actress,
and a lot of that. A lot of times they
do that to get them rolls and positions.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
And I'm not judging. I'm not and I know y'all
canna think I am, but I truly mean this. I'm
not joking. I am not really judging anyone involved in
the relationships, cause it kind of made sense as long
as everyone's an adult. I'm not even talking about the
power dynamics. I'm sure there's some enterprising young people who
have decided to cash to just cash that lottery ticket

(01:15:28):
a truth, you know what I'm saying? Where his life?
This motherfucker is fifty. He can make my career. I'm
a good actor. I'm gonna act like I want to
fuck him for three years. If that's what it'll take,
then I'm doing it. And I get it cause like
you done, came from Iowa, and you like I got
a dollar and a wish and a bus ticket and
I ain't got no return ticket. I want to make

(01:15:50):
this shit. I'm not going back home. But of course
it makes Hollywood rife for abuse and power dynamics and stuff.
Okay boom. Anyway, my theory is when a sixty year
old man is thinks he's entitled to be able to
fuck Scarlet Johansson at twenty two, and it's like able

(01:16:13):
to judge, like, should she get the part of this
other hot twenty two year old get the part? Excuse
something in the entire culture of Hollywood to where I'm
supposed to go thirty six year old Scarlet Johanson. Yuck?
Why would I ever want to watch a movie with

(01:16:33):
thirty six year old Scarlet Johansson.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Yeah, I's try to have a shelf life too.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
That's what I'm saying. I'm saying the shelf life is
artificially created, not by our cultural tenants outside of Hollywood specific, right, Yeah,
it's the specific bubble of Hollywood because how many times
and it's almost insane, but how many times when one
of these stars doesn't get surgery, then they disappear because

(01:16:58):
they ain't getting no parts. Then they pop back up
like ten twenty years later, and we're all like, oh
my gosh, he's still so gorgeous. What happened to her?
And I'm like, only in this weird cosmetry, can can
you have a place where it's like, yuck, we don't
want to see we wanna see this unsurgery forty old

(01:17:22):
woman play a love interest to a sixty year old man.
That's just gross, right right, that would actually be appropriate.
That wouldn't even make sense now you tell it, because
that would mean me also a sixty year old man.
Shit that there's something weird about me dating a nineteen
year old and that's not okay, right no, right, right, no,
you're not gonna shame me. We gotta get And the

(01:17:44):
worst thing to me now is the fake thing they do,
which is like the stars are getting older, so it's like,
let's go get the narrow and then we're gonna go
get I can't remember her last name, Georgina or something,
but it's like they're like the narrow seventy. His love
interest in this movie is forty, and I'm like, wait, man,

(01:18:04):
that's still she. No, she wouldn't fuck is old as Like,
I mean, it's de Naro some maybe, but.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
You know what I mean. But I'm with you. Yeah,
they're not gonna get nobody fifty or sixty to like
actually closer to the age range. Right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:16):
Yeah. I think there was a movie called Righteous Kill. Yeah,
it was Righteous Kill. It was a fifty cent sneak movie,
but he got de Niro and Alpuccino to be in it. Yeah,
and it was Cala Gugina gugino or Gorgino, and she
was in it as the love interest for Robert de Niro.

(01:18:36):
As of this year, this movie is like, oh, like this,
this is an older movie. This movie came out and
when did this movie come out? Two thousand and eight? Okay,
this movie came out in two thousand and eight. She
is fifty four years old now, okay, so mathematically two
thousand and eight is seventeen years ago, so she was

(01:18:58):
seventeen years younger. So she was like thirty seven in
two thousand and eight when she did this movie, right,
I hope I'm doing this math right right? And she
was like our Pacino's love interest and he was sixty eight.
And I know, somebody patting themselves on the back, like,

(01:19:21):
look at us, think, yes, we are so progressive. We
are casting a thirty seven year old woman as a
smoking hot love interest in a in a movie. Aren't
we the best? And I'm like, the fuck a sixty
eight year old man? I don't know?

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Right? Right? And it's also one of those things too,
because they out of one decide that's how you can
have our patuna on them doing this shit today. Ninety
five they ain't never too old to have a love interest,
right like that, Like they don't they're aging out us,
they're death but the women, oh my gods, don't you
get over twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
So in a way, it's actually really smart and and
do when you do see like older actresses get cast
in things lately and it's starting to become more of
a trend. But it is kind of like, oh, this
place exists like this, so you have Like I am

(01:20:17):
giving George Clooney some credit because I do think him
being like I'm out of the leading man game is
a choice that he does not have to make.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
Agreed.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
I think Hollywood, in that splinter of society, would cast
him as a leading man who is fucking hot women
his entire life. He could be on his deathbed and
may be like, go get us a fifty year old
actress to make out with him on his deathbed, because
let's be honest, he's George Clooney, and me CEO of Paramount,
I also have George Clooney dreams. Yes, all right, let's

(01:20:54):
that was a huge tangent. Let's see. Evie says kudos
to a man to see free for not back down
from a statement she can't attend my cookout, but I'll
save her plate. Don't nobody want your arbist cookout food.
Let's see you Tube. We had any comments on this one.
I know it's near the end of the week. One

(01:21:15):
comment Jason says, man, I love when Mike is on.
I'm embarrassed on how hard I lad to this joke
about the being ghatsted by Lebron and Mike. That callback
was incredible. I thought the Gender Wars had a great
premise and was well executed. However, I think the problem
was the creator was a bit too racially ambiguous to
deliver this message. I spent the whole clip trying to

(01:21:36):
figure out, is she one thing the Sisters will not
tolerate is a non black person talking bad about the Brothers.
So instead of gender Wars becomes gender unity again. I
don't blame the credit. She did her best to cause
deeper division and animosity between men and women, but she
probably needed to ghost write this for someone else. Yeah.
I didn't even clock her racial ambiguity. I truly thought
she just looked like a light skinned black woman. But

(01:21:58):
I don't know. People didn't really seem to take the
bait either way. It was in the war. Cali br
Mike says my NCQN was cracking cub. I hope to
see y'all and welking y'all to the city in April.
Are you from Vegas? I thought you was Cali. Bruh.
The weather would be awesome. Then the food out here
is great too. If y'all might be feeling homesick, someone
fucked around and brought the motherfucking mo Jangles out this bitch. Well,

(01:22:21):
I'm gonna tell you, like this, fam real talk. If
I eat Bojangles in Vegas, everything fell through. You don't
no offense. Yeah, but it's like I'm not trying to
go places other than where I stayed to eat the
same shit that I could eat here. But the problem

(01:22:42):
is that it's all the way tucked into the southern
part of town, which piss me off because most people
would have put new stiff stuff near the center part
of the town. But maybe they found a secret great show.

Speaker 2 (01:22:51):
You put it on a southern part of town for
no reason. Is that with a blacks or I might
be wrong, but I'm assuming that's where they are.

Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
My Negro sense tingling as well. Right. Three comments on
Spotify for this episode, Darryl says Amanda sea Free was
spending hot fire when she talked about inviting violence to
the dinner table bars. She really was.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
She was like I said what I said. I was like,
let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
Mister Spotify says if they just said money, not the amount,
we'd have a party, it might have scored higher and
double as Race War. Because fifteen hundred made the Black
Park disappeared. The formula gender gender does doesn't do this
one thing. Plus power on culture soft for nuance who
isn't enlisted in these scrimmages, let anyone most online trenches.

(01:23:38):
But I digress. The GW rating game is gender war.
Rating game is adult challenge and more fun than playing
little rascals boys girls. Mike has a beautiful mind. Polly
breaks pattern Yammery. I do like Polly Yammory. I do
like jams subod He says. Amy Schumer doesn't want a

(01:23:58):
chef husband anymore since she's on that ozempic. Oh that's sad.
I just feel like she uh you know, I mean
she she definitely is doing. I know life is patterns
and a lot of us don't know till we go
through it. But when she unveiled the new pictures of
her having lost out that way. It was like, oh,

(01:24:22):
this might be the post divorce revenge body thing, which
is it's so funny that that's a thing for we're
human beings. We all want to be unique and indifferent.
But man, these patterns are so real that you look
at somebody and like, man, drastic physical changes, like what
happens like getting a divorce? Like okay, yep, say less,

(01:24:42):
I get your freaking draft. This is the thing people do, understood, No, judge,
you get a haircut too, right, that's next. She get that,
she's gonna get one side chopped off.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
We're gonna she don't get that bomb. People are like, whoa,
I know it's.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Serious on the streets, come on the luck to her
of the poet? Which is better or cohesia split or
conscious uncoupling?

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
You're asking me? Or did you just saying that loud?

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
That's the poll? Okay, did you want to chime in
before I tell the results? So you want me to
just get the results? I conscious uncompling, conscious uncompling one
fifty seven percent, cohesa split fifty forty three percent. I
still think that's a good. That's a good percentage. You
came up with a new thing and almost went neck
to neck.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
It's yeah, like I don't know the Conscious uncompany. They
just stuck and it actually sounds better.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Well, we haven't had enough time to see if this
one will stick. That's true too, So maybe we're two
years away from being like, you know what, I had
a cohesive split two and we're.

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
Like, damn, we will see if this is a trend
on the next divorce or separation.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
Yeah, somebody gonna get divorced again soon. That's rich and
you gotta put out a press release.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
Yeah, we'll see what phrase they choose.

Speaker 1 (01:25:53):
All right. The last thing is podcast emails. All of

(01:26:27):
these from Infrared Crypto Today. Dynamic Soul, Majestic Soul, and
Luminous were the titles of those. All right, let's get
to y'all's emails. Got three Mary Wright saying, Hi, Rod
and Karen, I love your podcast. Tired of email is
thank you. I want to say thank you for talking
about your experiences with colonoscopies and normalizing the routine colonoscopy

(01:26:49):
at forty five. I recently had my first one done
because I'm at that age. But everyone I had known
before was either much older when they got their first one,
or they had to have one done because something was wrong.
So I was very nervous about it. Listening to you
two talking about it and joke about it. Gave gift
tips about what to eat and drink during prep and
even recommend to eat check in with my chart. Check

(01:27:11):
in went super smooth. It was great. Really helped me
get more comfortable and do everything I need to do.
Despite my anxiety brain telling me it was the end
of the world. Everything went fine. I went and got
some chicken tenders afterwards. Some people come out of anesthesia
talking about deep personal stuff. I apparently won't telling my
husband I wanted chicken tenders, which he stopped to get
me on the way home. Thanks, oh, and thank.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
You baby, Because it is one of those things where
as you know, me and Roger go through milestones in
our life, particularly stuff like that and being healthy and
things like that, like these things matter. But even going
to the doctor, I be, even getting your checkups and
all that stuff like I like that, shit is real.
I have had I have had too many family members
wait until they get so sick that it can't be

(01:27:55):
prepared and like that so I'm like, no, I decided
an early early age, I'm get this stuff done. And
also I've talked to older people who have done it,
and you know that you know Roger's parents and like
some of my family members, and they, you know, they
tell you about the process, so it kind of prepares you.
No matter what, particularly if it's your first time, you
are going to have anxiety. And I know some people

(01:28:16):
they prefer to do it where you do it, like
in the mail and things like that. But the thing
about that for me personally, you might get a false
a false result and all that stuff and still end
up having to go back and go through the test anyway.
So I'm like, I'm not doing that. Let me just
go ahead and go through the test. And it's not
that bad. You're not out long or anything like that.
And it's really a painless process.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
And it's better to find out something sooner than later.
So just go get it done. I just try to
do what my doctor tell me to do. It's really
that simple. She was like, this is what we're doing
at forty five, I said, Cole, you know, and whenever
the next one is, we're doing it again.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
Yes, it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
And this reminds me too to tell y'all now the
holiday cards, you guys can send us your your mailing addresses.
But listen to me, don't just send that shit. Would
put it in the right address format. If you don't know,
google it. The reason I'm telling you to do is

(01:29:17):
because it helps me. I just can copy paste it
into our label maker. The labels come out easier for me.
I don't have to format everything into the right format.
I need your name, your address, your states, you know that,
the city, state, zip code, that thing. Internationally. We will
try to send some if you know, if need be,

(01:29:40):
but we do. I do have a few international stamps
to send people stuff internationally. And if you want to
mail us anything, the email address is I mean the
mailing address, the physical mailing address. The black guy who
tips dot com slash about is the physical mailing address.
And then the show knows if you want to do,
like hey, I want to get you guys something for

(01:30:02):
yourselves for we have an Amazon wishless in the show
notes all the time. We have a PO box that
that stuff comes too. So if you guys want to
send us stuff in the mail, we'll we'll definitely gladly
accept it, and uh, you know, I'll try to refresh
the Amazon list.

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
So yeah, and I'm like an old grandma. I like
the cards with the families and the dogs.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
Yeah, we love it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
And I don't know how many I got, but I
got a bunch of them over here, and.

Speaker 1 (01:30:29):
She loves it, especially because she don't have to do
as much work as I do. So she's just like,
I'm just receiving cards. What a fun time. And I'm
like another trip to the post.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
I have a whole drawer over here full of cars
that you guys have been sending us.

Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
The hornets, yes we did.

Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
It's adorable.

Speaker 1 (01:30:46):
It was like thank you for the money, Yes they were.
But yeah, so that's open for the record. Some of
y'a have already sent in the holiday car the dresses. Yes,
I got you, and I'm coming. I'm uh. I'm getting
the art for the card worked on now, so we'll

(01:31:07):
probably send them out after but it'll still be holiday
ish like y'all will get them. Don't worry, it'll happen
all right. Back to your comments the emails. Who needs
Grace's corners when we could banter? Says Joy. Well, after
four years of training. My almost five year old sings
along to the banter song with me, and then before
we listen to y'all, we do our own banter session. Oh,

(01:31:31):
I do want to know what a five year old
banter is about.

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
I know that got to be an interesting conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:31:36):
I would love to know. This allows me to listen
to the rest of the episode in peace. Oh, because
you get it out the way. Listen. I know this struggle.
Karen talks it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
Don't stop just because you ain't five.

Speaker 1 (01:31:47):
Karen talks in the card. When I'm trying to listen
to podcasts, like she's on the podcast, they can't hear you.
I can, but I'm trying to listen to them. Why
I've been trying to control myself. I can't help it.
What is going on? I don't understand when she's in
here by herself listening to her podcast. Out here talking

(01:32:09):
to the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
I do talking out loud me, what is happening?

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):
The other day I asked what song he wanted to
listen to on the way home, and he shouted.

Speaker 2 (01:32:22):
Talk to me. Oh, that's adorable.

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
It is about did that? I asked if he had
bed to today? He said, I do sound exactly like her.
I don't know. I think we should call this not
only a parent win, but a blackoutist win. It is
a win. I love it. Man, that's beautiful. I want
it now. I just need to know what the bad
that's about. That's all I'm saying. I just need to

(01:32:46):
know what's the tea going on in the preschool in
the five year old world? Yeah, like what they what
they talking about?

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
I got a bandtage? How come the juice box it's
smaller than the milk cark? I have a problem. Okay,
he who was making these curtain sizes? I've never wanted
more milk than juice?

Speaker 2 (01:33:04):
Right? Who made white milk?

Speaker 1 (01:33:05):
I like chocolate milk better? Right, talk to me. J
jail COVID is what we need more of, says Monique.
That's Kim doc Hey, Rod and Karen. I was catching
up on the pod listening to Jail episode. The man
that made me super emotional. I felt his passion for people.
And the tough thing about politics is that is such
a slimy sector. You hope and wish that the jet

(01:33:26):
for the jails that want to meet the needs to
other voters. He is the steward of but you often
get the fat cats line in their pockets. Yeah, it's
gonna be interesting what goes on with Jail because on
a couple of things, like knowing Jail, like one, he
don't really like asking for money, and ship he don't
even like asking for money for his comedy shit. So

(01:33:48):
I'm like, boy, this is gonna be tough. Yeah, because
you got a whole thing is fundraising. If you truly
want to serve people, Unfortunately, you gotta you gotta put
your pride to the side to be like, please get
give me the money. Two, is this a thing where
the machinations are big, the big d Democrats end up

(01:34:08):
turning Jail Covein into like the new Bernie, Like he
comes out of this process where he went in as
like a kind of pragmatic. Hey, I get it, dude,
but then you like when like how people feel differently
when something personally happens to them. He comes out of
it as a burn it all down Bernie Sanders guy.
And I'm like, I hope that don't happen because because

(01:34:28):
you know that that scares me. Uh uh. But then
the other part of it is I can't imagine a
person more uniquely fashion to be able to deal with
the rejection that comes with trying to help people have
a good time, uh in this case, have a good life.

(01:34:52):
But then Jail and his specific group of fans, like
I feel like voters and Jail fans that being diagramed
like of of shared traits, it's got to be kind
of pretty high, you know what I mean. Like he
I think he's he's suited for the temperament of like,

(01:35:12):
they're not gonna worship me, They're gonna like they gonna
people can be disappointing. And then the final thing I'll
say too is I like that he sees it or
at least from what he said, and maybe it'll change,
but he kind of sees it as a long term
thing like this he he himself is like, this is
a long shot. I probably will not win, but that's okay.

(01:35:36):
This is a process and I don't think I'm just
gonna do this one time and be done right. And
if that's the case, man, I'm rooting specifically for success
because I think the flash in the pan out of
nowhere thing is so hard to do it. There's not
a lot of mom Donnie's and much like comedy, which
Jaye knows as well. The mom Donnis have agents. They

(01:35:58):
just don't, you know, like he ain't just literally wake
up and be like I'm gonna be Mayor. Like it's
a bunch of motherfuckers behind that mom Donnie ship. They
don't get the credit and all that stuff. But but
and I'm sure he does credit his team. But like
I've listened to interviews. I listened to uh the press

(01:36:19):
box and they interview one of his campaign people and
the apparatus behind him while it is smaller than these
like you know, chromo uh type guys and these you know,
the people that have the huge, big donors. And it
ain't nothing like you can't do it. You you listening

(01:36:43):
like it ain't just a you wake out a bit,
wake up and go I'm gonna be Mayor. Like it's
a whole fucking apparatus behind to have a team, and
that ship seemed like it costs money. And I don't
mean like you gotta be a rich guy, just you
need to be able to get a lot of money
from a lot of people in small donations and allocate
managed that in a way that works. And so that

(01:37:03):
may not be a one time thing that may be
a thing you gain experience as you try and fail.
So yeah, but yeah, I love every time I see
jail sharing anything and the algorithm is it trying to
stop me? Ire I shared this as much as I
shared any as comedy shit like straight up, you know,

(01:37:26):
straight up. We got a chance to meet the black
woman that's running from mayor out here where we live.
Her opponent has been a mayor for ten years, and
while they were unaffiliated, his blurb in the city site
was given right wing talking points adjacent you know, the
vibes tough on crime, but built a new police station. Meanwhile,
housing is only getting price here, cost of have it

(01:37:46):
gone down?

Speaker 2 (01:37:47):
You name it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:48):
So we met with her on election day. We dared
to dream of what a shift could be breaking or
what always from the white incumbent. She was lovely, had
been on her feet talking to folks at six am.
She even invited us to her little after gathering, and
we really got one on one time with her. We
checked the results the following morning. She lost handedly. Seems

(01:38:08):
like you only need about five thousand and six thousand
votes to win out here. She gone at about twelve hundred.
We got over the balloon pop moment, I thought about
how much work it took to get that many votes.
She should have been so proud of herself. Yeah. Absolutely,
Even if you don't win, just putting your feet out
there and giving that shit a shot is just more
than ninety nine point nine percent of people ever doing

(01:38:28):
their lives right.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
They're just complaining and talk about how somebody else should
do it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:32):
Yeah. I say all that to say that, listening to Jail,
I understand a fraction of what he's up against financially, mentally,
and physically. It takes such a tremendous heart for people
to put that weight on your shoulders. I'll be sending
him a donation and nothing but positive energy. He's type
of leader to progressive wing needs to flourish. All the
best Kim Docs slash money. Thanks Kim Doc. Yeah, we
were all with stand up with Pete. You know, we

(01:38:52):
talked some politics stuff with him. He's very political, and
I think I'm at right now because I really do
not feel like arguing about stuff on the left. I
don't I don't feel like revisiting twenty twenty four. I
actually don't think there's a lot to be learned there

(01:39:14):
and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but it's not my
job to get it right or not, so the people
in charge they can fight about those. But I don't
think you're gonna get anything from the twenty twenty four
Autosic report that is going to really change anything. I
think the directions for Democrats are already set. We already
know what kind of things we need to be fighting
for and against, and people that can quibble over it

(01:39:36):
are just very privileged people that if they can't get
a specific message crafted only to them and them only,
they're gonna stay home or they're not gonna vote. Whoever
those people are. I think I have given up on
them and politicians their job is to find something, But
I'm not a consultant, so they Good luck to them

(01:39:57):
and whatever they think will happen. There. Thing I said
on that show that it's something I think I believe
we can all agree on now on this side, and
this might be the only thing we can all agree on.
We need some fighters, man, we need some fighters. I
don't really care what your specific fight is for in

(01:40:22):
that like I'm not. I think it's a privilege to
be able to look at the world right now and
be like, Okay, you're fighting for you're fighting to get
the Obamacare subsidies back, but you're not fighting for Medicare
for all, So fuck you. That's a very privileged position

(01:40:43):
to be in at the moment when these premiums are
hopping up on people, and that kind of person I
don't know if I can relate to them, but I
do think a lot of us just relate to fighters.
So if someone was like, I'm fighting for Medicare for all,
and they're forcefully saying that in your area of the woods,
it's like, I'm voting for that person. And if that

(01:41:05):
same person's like, I'm fighting to get the Obamacare of
subsidies back, and unless say there is no person in
your areas for the Medica for all, it's just a
person that's like, I want the subsidies back. If they
willing to fight, I want them. I just want fighters.
I don't have time for I'm fighting for fifteen dollarmentum wage.
You're fighting for twenty dollar minum wage. Well fuck it,

(01:41:28):
I'm not supporting that. I'm gonna stay home. I'm just
here for the people that are fighting against the bullshit
that we're up against. That we're seeing and I think
jail has that, and I think there's a lot of
politicians with that, and I think that collective let's go
fight will add up into something very progressive for a
lot of us, But only if we send enough people

(01:41:49):
there to make a statement. And we are trending towards that.
But we just need staying power. I'm not patting anyone
on the back at all for twenty twenty five. I'm
not patting you on the back in the midterms either.
I don't give a fuck. Like I know, there's gonna
be a lot of like yeah woo, thank god, And
you're right, it could go worse, it could be back.
I'm not this is the default. You gotta keep this

(01:42:13):
energy at least till twenty twenty eight before I can
even breathe a SI relief, even a small SI relief.

Speaker 2 (01:42:20):
Yeah, take you seriously, because, like you know, for me,
I do I want fighters, and so many people, particularly
the voters, are not fighters. So a lot of times
because they're not fighters, they won't put the people in
positions that are actually fighting, that in the position what
they can get there and actually fight. Like I said,

(01:42:41):
a lot of them are complainers. And I understand, like
you know, a lot of particularly here in America, a
lot of our politicians are older and things like that,
and like I said on the show, you know a
lot of younger people complain. You know what, bitch, come
and take it. I've always felt like this. If you
don't like the way I've been doing this, I've been
doing this shit for thirty something years with primary me,

(01:43:03):
whatever it is, get your ass up here and take
it out of my motherfucking hand.

Speaker 1 (01:43:07):
I just think even a primary is a fight, yes,
and people respond to fighter. So if you go and
take somebody spot in the primary, the people will come like.
That's like, you know, I don't want to do a
whole political thing. I just think stop giving Mom Donnie
credit if you're not willing to go support the next

(01:43:29):
Mom Donnie and to say that energy needs to go everywhere.
That's all like, don't give them credit then, because you
don't really believe it, you know, if you're just bitching,
complain and waiting on people to get old and quit,
and like, why how come someone's so still in office?
It's either because they're effective, or it is because the
people that complain and say they want them out of office,
don't actually get off out the house and do it.

(01:43:51):
Those are the only two choices. And I'm just sick
of waiting for somebody to be like, well, I'm waiting
on the Democratic donors to pick another person, or I'm
waiting on and so to go. I'm too old. I'm
gonna go home. We're not replacing these people with just anybody.
Go take the spot, and I would love to see it, and.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
So take it hands. Don't just sit back and look.

Speaker 1 (01:44:12):
And the reason and the reason many people don't is
because it's hard. What jail Covid is doing is hard.
It might not work out for him this time. It
might work, but it might not. If it doesn't work
out for him, he's gonna have to evaluate do I quit,
do I not quit? Do I come back? Do I
how do I trade? Change up? What I do next time?
All that shit is real and it's harder than just

(01:44:33):
complaining on the internet or whatever. So we'll see what
happens with it. But I'm very proud of him, and
I think what he's doing is very dope, and he's
a person that if I was in that district, I
will one hundred percent vote for I would now feel
any trepidation about it. And I don't know the other candidates,
so I'm not casting aspersions. They might be good. They

(01:44:54):
might you know, maybe there's policies and stuff I would
hear from them and go, okay, maybe there's experience they
have that it's like, okay, that's the difference, Like that's
why they're winning. But whyever they winning or will win
or compete? That just gives you a new thing to
look at for the next time, or to look at
this time and go, I need to step my game

(01:45:15):
up over there. So good luck to jail Man. We're
definitely rooting for him one hundred percent. He was fundraising
last night. He was doing like a live social media
thing last night. I shared it on the social media's
but make sure y'll follow him on the social media's
and yeah, support the homie. All right, that's it. Like

(01:45:36):
I said, wish list holiday card addresses. I'll still do
the matching thing for the If you guys want to
give donations, to give subscriptions to people, just you can
email me the blackouts at Gmail. You want to send

(01:45:56):
it like cash, app, PayPal, Vemo, whatever, I'll do it.
I'll do it. I don't know when I'll get tired
of doing it, and maybe no one else will feel
like putting in, but there's people out there that want them,
and so now that it's a surplus again, I'll do it.
But all right, that's it. I don't know how much
podcast and we're gonna be doing next couple of weeks.

(01:46:17):
I'm assuming we'll be doing stuff, but I don't have
anything playing. Just holidays for everybody around here. But I
definitely do like we'll do stuff. But and I know
there's no Balls Deep next week, no sports show, Justin's
out of town. And I know for a fact we're

(01:46:38):
doing our nerd Off wrapped, where we go through our
video games and all those things that we did for
the year. That's just me and Karen.

Speaker 2 (01:46:46):
Yes, I actually look forward to that.

Speaker 1 (01:46:49):
I'm sure we'll do a list smacking good in the
next couple weeks or so, so there'll be plenty of
stuff behind the paywhile for y'all, and we got movie
reviews coming and stuff. So until next time, I love you.
