Speaker 1 (00:01):
I listen to the Black Guy Who Tips podcast because
Rodin Karen Ahut.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hey, welcome to another episode of the Blackout Tips podcast.
I'm your host. Rod Joined is always on our co
host and we're live on a Saturday. More than ready
to do some podcasts and find us everywhere you get podcasts,
search the Blackout Tips. We'll come up. Leave us five
star reviews on Apple podcasts and make them nice. If
they are, we'll read them on the air. The official
(00:28):
weapon of the show is and an unofficial sport and
bulletball Extreme and today is a feedback show. This is
when we cover all the things that you guys had
to say about the things that we covered throughout the week.
You can email us voicemail. It's all in the show notes.
All that stuff is right there. Holler at us. Let
us know how you feel about what we said. This
(00:52):
is your opportunity. Okay. A lot of times podcasts they
just do what they do. They go off to the ether.
They don't give a fuck about y'all. I don't care,
but we do. So we're trying to help. Okay, So
make sure y'all let us know how you think about
and what you feel about things. The official weapon of
the show is folding chair. The folding chair, that's correct.
(01:14):
And I found out today that on the pod Jam
three tickets they have a folding chair sponsorship level.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Old snap, Yes, that's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They actually have a folding chair sponsorship level where you like,
so they email me, the person over email me and
I was like, oh, so, y'all are trying to make
money off of it. I don't know how it all works,
and she said, they actually aren't trying to make money
off of it necessarily. They just want people to attend
(01:52):
and show up. And they've had people in the past
where like you can sponsor to have someone flown out,
travel fees, all that type of stuff. Yeah, like it's crazy,
but they also had to pay what you can afford
just in case you just in the area, you just
want to come, whatever you know you can afford, you
can just show up. But yeah, they're just like, we
(02:14):
just want to break even, like we like, we're not
even necessarily doing this with a profit mark in mind,
which I think is you know, super dope bunch of liberal,
progressive minded people coming together fellowship spend a little time together.
I think that's dope. I think we need that community
in these times. And the ticket link is always in
(02:34):
the show notes, so make sure you guys go check
it out. And I believe they actually have. Let me
just be sure before I say some shit that's wrong,
but I'm almost one hundred percent sure. I looked on
there and saw that they have virtual tickets. Yeah, they
also have virtual tickets too, so if you can't be
there in person, you can actually sign up for the
virtual tickets and watch it, you know, virtually.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Right, So if y'all want to see us and you
can't make it, if you're in an area things like that,
we're definitely looking forward to it. And for those of
you that are, you know, coming from you know, all
across the country, we look forward to seeing you in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, I can't wait, man, it's gonna be a dope time.
I've never been to Vegas, although I heard it's mad
expensive and crazy like like different now, but it used
to be. I don't know. I guess I wasn't there
for the old time, so maybe I can't be like
it was always expensive, wasn't it anyway? Right?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
In my mind?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Feedback time, You guys know, what we do. We're gonna
start with the people who took the time out of
their busy lives and said, hey, we just want to
give you some money. On the right hand side of
the black Out Tips, it says donate. Okay, it says
recurring support the show, and you can sign up to
be recurring one time. It doesn't matter. We give you
(03:46):
a shout out either way. Man having attention, We're down
to welcome to good folks who tied to the black
Diver tips. MO money and mo money and mo money,
(04:07):
more fun and more fun and more funny. Make o
W with the recurring donator. Thank you very much Early
Daisy Photography, mccoele f Marvin B Yes, Marvin B J four,
Michael W, Asia D, Michael Suh, Tom W Junior David
(04:35):
from Brooklyn, Julian N Noel W. Why W this week,
Laura e H Bomani Jones, you guys know him the
right time and Pete B. That's everybody that donated to
the show this week. Thank you so much, everybody. All right,
(05:03):
five starvs. Do we get any new and so I
know that's what you're thinking. You're thinking, Well, I need
to know that ride because if not, I know we're
getting an extra commercial broke.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I ain't no telling them what you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Get Today's twenty seventh mm hm. The last one we
got was on the eighteenth, which means we did not
get anew one this week.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
A snaps, So y'all know what that means.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Nobody wanted to be the sacrificial lamb.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Nobody want to just step up to the plate, and
so now you got to deal with these commercials. This
is ching commercial?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Is this just a question?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
All we wanted for Christmas was five star v That's it.
We ask too much. We didn't ask for much.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
New Year knew you new review, Get on it. New
Year knew you re review.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
If you already left one or two, you could leave
us another five starts.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All right, let's get into the comments on the website
and everywhere else. Episode thirty one ninety nine was our
feedback episode. You can't out Gwyneth the Paltrow. We got
four comments, says Rob with the truce. About dating, people
always say it's the worst. I remember when I was dating,
people definitely said it was awful and it used to
be better before. Thank you for explaining the white friends thing,
(06:32):
it makes more sense and what I imagine was insane, like
Rod refusing to be seen with white people in public.
But I hope without this backstory, it was confusing. Yeah,
that is pretty wild, and I guess maybe that's why
it sounds so funny every time I say when I
used to have white friends, but yeah, yeah, you know,
I guess I can't. Yeah, it's funny. I think it's
(06:55):
more funny that you've been walking around for two three
years in your head that when I say that, there's
like that that I'm the kind of person that talks
how I talk. It's level headed and open minded and
patient and fair as I try to be. You're like, yeah,
but he hate white people, like he don't want to
(07:15):
be being picture of the me. He sees the white people.
He will stop them and say, hey, we're not friends. Okay,
just let you know, buddy.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
He's maxim in the face. They get out my way,
you can come over my house.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
This is not a friendship. Whatever you call this, you
tell people, maybe we should have that policy. I mean,
maybe that's how we end up being the black friend
that white people excuse. Like jd Vance's black friend is
probably not even his friend. He's just a guy that
knows jd Vance a little bit. Jd Vance is like, listen,
I got a black friend, so it's okay. When I
(07:45):
said mature young lady, Erica says, hey, it's Erica. I
love sending holiday cars. I got mine out super early
this year. I hope you guys got mine. I even
made sure they include my dog's name on the car
this year because Karen mentioned it last year. Yay. I
hope you guys have an amazing holiday and I can't
wait get my Blackout Tips card. Cool. Yeah, so up
there on the Blackout Tips cards. Still taking emails for
(08:08):
your mailing address. Just make sure it's in the correct
mailing format. You guys have been doing outstanding.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
This day just makes the pressus so much.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Only one person messed it up. I won't point you
out because I don't want you to feel bad, but
only one person messed it up so far, and I'll
probably give it a couple more weeks of collecting the
holiday email addresses, because once I ordered the cards, that's it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, we normally announced a little bit earlier in the year.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, that's fine. Whatever. It's forty one addresses that we
have so far. So once we get up to you
know whatever, say say we get to seventy five or
eighty or something, if I order one hundred cards, that's it, right,
Like I'm not ordering more. So if you still you
still have time, if you want to get your email,
if you want to get your mailing addressed to us,
(08:59):
thank you for everyone's taking the time out to do it.
I got the artwork for the card done as far
as the design that I want to use, and I
got stickers that are going to be included in the
cards that we're going to send out this year. So
I have to wait for those things to be mailed
(09:20):
to me before we can send them out. So that's
why I'm saying, you've got time, probably a couple of
weeks before we start mailing these things out, and then
once we start mailing them out, that's probably it. Sean says,
I try to keep up with the sports Ball to
be competent in the conversation, mainly because this epic sports
program called Balls. These sports highly recommend it. But usually
(09:41):
I will end my takes with but I don't really
follow the sports ball as a joke. That being said,
the use of us references for shorthand can make conversations
much smoother, unless you are in a place where you
are dealing with people from a dozen different countries, of
various ages and limited shared references. I don't delight in
not you getting references. I do deep dives and end
up knowing way too much about way too many things,
(10:02):
and then I use references and presentations that I know
will make exactly one person in the room laugh. By
the way, congrats to the Panthers for to feed my bucks.
Hopefully we'll get you next week. Well, hopefully not.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
The Panther let's go.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I don't know why I would be hopeful for that
at all. Y'all just get a super Bowl. Your greedy
motherfucker's calm down. Y'all ain't gonna do shit in the
playoffs anyway. If y'all get in there, i' might as
well let us get in there. We'll have more fun
getting in there and flaming out in week one than
y'all will.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
We will losing the first round, yeah, losing the wildcard game.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Ain't y'all got a bunch of injuries and shit. Stop
being greedy. Even he says, I used to send holiday
cars for but the spirit of the screws got a
hold of me. Now people are electing to get a
married Christmas from me, although I will pretend that my
kid and my nieces and for my kids, my nieces
and my nephews, just like wu tang Christmas for the kids. Yeah,
I agree. My niece has a Christmas birthday, so I
(10:54):
make sure to get her two gifts so that she
won't never get short changed on Christmas with people. That's
just like, here's your Christmas gift, and happy birthday as
well with this one gift. So I got her a
couple of things, and then I got my nephews at
like a I get them a because it's three of them.
(11:16):
I get them a video game gift card basically to
be like, go spend this. However, y'all want on the PlayStation.
Just y'all. Brother, I had a brother growing up. I
know what it is. Y'all gonna have to share them toys.
That's just what it is. I love all y'all, but
that's that's that. Those are the rules. Okay. I'll teaching
(11:36):
y'all a valuable lesson and sharing. Okay, y'all have.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
To sit down and discuss what game.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, we got When we was coming up, my parents
wasn't like you get a Sega Genesis, you get a Nintendo.
It's like Nigga this, y'all take his two controllers figure
it out. Yeah, is his one controllers share anyway? So
I got them something and I got Caring a gift
as well.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yes, I like my gif because I.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Sit on the side of a cow sit up that
that it's kind of I won't say no man's laying.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But it's kind of off to the side.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So like if I have snacks or a cup or
anything like that, I don't can never have nowhere to
put it.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
It got me something to keep my black as organized.
I was like, you look at this, let's go.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's like a trade with like snack for snacks. You
can have a cup over there and it won't spill
over because Karen often doesn't have a place to sit
here drink or whatever without spilling. You can put your
phone in there and charge it. It's it's like a
(12:41):
pretty cool thing. I think I can show it to
y'all on the screen a lot. But yeah, I uh so,
what made you get it? I just know that you
be struggling with the cups over there. Sometimes Well then
I look over there, it's like, uh, you know, you're
you're basically sitting up there, like uh like do I
(13:04):
put my cup on the ground or I.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Put it between the caps cushions? Thank you for thinking
about me.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
No problem. So yeah, that's this is basically what it
looks like, guys, and and just you know, you can
put stuff in it and whatever. So it was but
simple gift, you know, nothing too fancy. And yeah the
Christmas for the kids. I agree, Uh, Eve says, uh,
I mean, I'm sorry. Then we got comments on YouTube.
(13:37):
You can't outgent the Paltrow. Let's see how many comments
we got on this one. One new comment or one
comment it says provocative AF Cheers, folks, thanks for another
great feedback show. Happy holidays to both of you and
all the black Out Tips fans. Thanks Buddy Yay, I
appreciate you. And did we get any comments on Spotify?
(13:59):
I guess we can find out together as a family.
Let's see audience comments. No comments on this one on Spotify,
And so we go to the post the Poe. Do
you send out holiday cards? Obviously yes for us twenty
seven percent, yes, seventy four percent. No, yeah, I think
(14:21):
that number is always going to be like that. I
think the vast majority of us do not send out cards.
If we did not have the podcast, I don't know
that I would do it, but I would have gotten
into it. But now that we I've done it a
few times. I love it. I look forward to it
every year. Will you get them by Christmas? Probably not,
(14:43):
but that's okay. This is a nice little treat anytime
of the year to get a little hey, how you
doing Here's here's a sticker. So yeah, it makes sense
though that a lot of people probably dropped it, especially
with us going so digital now.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yes, I think that's what got a lot of people
out out of it. A lot of people probably now
just send you an email with like an E card
or something like that, which is you can probably send
more of them out and kind of hit more people
up than to actually go through the regular post office.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Let's go to the next episode. No commercial break, Okay,
As Christmas, I got y'all thirty two hundred, Nicki Minaj
and Erica Kirk. We got five comments on this one.
Apia says, love the parking story. It made me realize
that we live in the future in this area good.
I got used to it and as a human expected
Now when I am smaller, older one that doesn't have it,
(15:30):
I think, no green and red light in this park house?
What am I? An animal? Love Karen's energy, and in
my head we are friends. I get on this show
every time aggressive Katie Carrick ads, So that's what they're
doing in Germany. Katy Carrick out here and aggressive? What
the fuck does aggressive Katie Carrick even soundl right? What
(15:51):
does that sound like? I can't imagine that lady sounding
aggressive me at all. Her whole job is just being pleasant. Yes,
it is like you would try to tell me Afia,
you seem lost. Haven't you noticed that I'm more your
peer group? Come over, I have Bernie Sanders. You might
not have understood Bernie. Oh, maybe that's what she's doing.
She's trying to cut you away from the blackout tips.
She's like, don't girl, you over here with these black folks.
(16:13):
You better come over here with this good Katie currit,
Bernie whiteness. Come over. You clearly want it, you must.
I still don't. Ha ha. Sean says, I work with
some Filipinos. So I've been hearing Christmas songs since September.
In the Philippines, Christmas starts at September first and ends
January seventh, if I remember correctly, Americans are getting off
light apparently. So you say getting off light, I say
(16:36):
we're not getting enough Christmas.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, from September.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I would like more Christmas spirit over in this country.
I'm sorry? Am I alone in that? I think a
lot of you motherfuckers because you're lighting up? Christmas should
be about three months long? Man? Why so serious? Y'all
pretend to be good people longer?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
We ain't that truth?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Honestly, I can't get all our I can't get all
I want for Christmas. You out of my head anyway.
It doesn't matter what I'm doing, So might as well
let it stay in that for the three months. Erica
says all I Want for Christmas play five times in
the nail shot. When I was there, it was about
a two hour visit. Mariah getting that big bag. I'm
good on not hearing it again until next year. Lol.
(17:18):
Did you hear the last Christmas by Wham finally knocked
her out of the number one spot this year? I
did not hear that one. I hear that, but I did.
I've heard last Christmas quite a few places I've gone
this week. I know they played at the Hornets game.
But of course they played all I Want for Christmas
as you as well, and they did a sing along.
And I will say this time when they did the
(17:40):
sing along, people looked a little over it, like not
everybody was singing along last year, everybody was like singing along.
This year people was kind of like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I guess they had been in it for since since
a Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, They're like, uh, close enough. Whatever. All I Want
for Christmas is the Hornets get this w and they did.
Sean says from from minaj It Twat to eight off,
this was a wild section. Minaj is twat, Oh like
Minaja twat. I see what you're saying. I see what
you did. By the way, because Germany, I'm sorry. I
(18:15):
got a little cold. I'm a little under the conf
medce and weather. I'm drinking this hot tidy. I might
not be as sharp as.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
No hopefully, and make it too strong because I pulled
heavy hand. You like to pat your alcohol.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It is strong, but I'm gonna make it Okay, I apologize.
I'm not playing on doing anything today. I don't I'm
not going to the gym with a cold. I don't
want to spread this thing. So I'm just gonna stay
here on the couch. By the way, because Germany opposed
so many colonial regimes in Africa, he has seen quite
differently than he has seen it in Eurocentric histories. Also,
Adolph not as vilified in Africa as he has other places.
(18:49):
I guess that's what you're saying. Okay, Well, I mean
if they finished reading the whole book, I think they'll
see he was not necessarily pro black folk either. But
not my job.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
The black Germans he kill me.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't live there. I don't understand all the histories,
and so I can recognize they may have a completely
different understanding than I do. But uh yeah, I don't know.
I still feel like Adolph, regardless of where you are
on the spectrum, is a naming your kid. Adolf Hitler
pretty pretty much frowned upon by everyone.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, because once you got to a certain age, that's
somebody told you the history. But I look, as soon
as I become an adult, I'm changing this bitch.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I feel like if we workshop that if we focus
group that, I don't think it's going too far. So
maybe I'm tripping Nigga min ij just basically the female
version of Kanye, says Eve, the coonery has reached the
level she can't possibly come back from. Honestly, I lost
our respect for her when she posted I Believe in
the Bible directly after the post nightclub shooting. Oh, I
don't even remember that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I try not to pay her attention unless she just
kind of come in my p you I.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It's I don't remember that. But also like niggas in
a really weird place because she has a lot of
gay fans a lot, so her polling is like Christian
conservative Trump shit. I don't know where it could possibly
go unless it really is as obvious as it seems,
(20:24):
and I think it is ridiculous as it seems, if
it's really just some sort of can you parton my
brother and my husband YP I.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Paid the price. I paid the price. That's basically what
she's she advertising, and she's gonna pay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I just wonder because like musically, I mean, I guess
maybe musically her career is being over. Yeah, Like it's
not like we're looking around as people going band oh man,
that Nigga minajam win? Is that dropping right?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
You don't know her fans were. I don't know if
they are now after all this foolishness, but you know.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I also think her uh and I said this a
far on here, there's a certain type of toxic gay
that is a fan of these like stan War crashing
out shit that have always been a fan of Nicki
Minaj that has skied me out totally, like, yes, well,
I'm like these people. They think this is all fun
(21:14):
and games for them, and they even when she's just
been wrong and uh, what do you call it? Uh,
doxing people and stuff like that and harassing people. You
would see like these clearly like a very clearly white
male gay social media presence that just thought this was
such entertainment. And I've always thought that was weird. Yes,
(21:35):
I have to mind you, there's nothing wrong with being
a Christian, but that was very poorly time considering a
huge chunk of her fan base as LGBTQ. Not to mention,
going to the right isn't as profitable as she thinks
it will be because they don't support short. I guess
they don't support people look at Sidney Sweeney, all her
movies flop, and she's a maga darling. Well she's in
(21:57):
a weird place because she's not really a mago darling.
But she ain't really. She like pushed against like the
left leading progressive type of internet social media people that
loved her, like, who's watching you for you?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I mean it shows about trauma, sex, drugs, trans kids, Like,
it's about a bunch of stuff that these people on
the right pretend either doesn't exist or they just think
it's all the devil. Yeah, And so I don't know
(22:34):
what her pivot to the right was supposed to net her,
because those type of people don't want to watch a
movie about her being a gay by a lesbian boxer,
and on some level, even though they are huge hypocrites
and whatever, they actually don't want to go out and
spend money to watch her pull the titties out either,
which because you know, the Christian conservative people think that's
(22:57):
the devil. Like, I just don't know what the move was.
I really think deep down it's probably just her family's conservative.
When you grow up with a family that loves you
and they are conservative. There's some spots in your mind,
that just kind of become washed over where you're like, uh,
everybody needs to love my family every We just need
(23:20):
to come together. We need to stop being so divisive.
What's wrong with liking Trump? I don't even get the point. Yeah,
and that's in your very small circle, But when it
comes to fame, that's a huge circle with a lot
of people with a lot of different politics and beliefs
and things that bring us all together. Trump's bad at that,
being maggots bad at that, and Republicans are bad at that.
(23:40):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
The whole thing is being divisive, Like yeah, that's the
whole thing, divide divide vibe.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So you're gonna have people copping please for and making
her to be the victim of it all. And that's
fine if they want to do that. But the truth
of the matter is she was fine just a couple
of years ago, when nobody really knew she had the
Maga family, nobody really knew she was Uh, she wasn't
doing these interviews kind of dog whistling some conservative talking
points which people cheep trying to avoid like that's not
(24:07):
a thing, and uh, she didn't register as a Republican
in Florida to vote last like for like last year,
you voted like you've registered to vote conservative. People can
look that shit up now, so they putting the pieces
together and painting this tapestry. Now, she might not be
any of these things. Like I said, I don't know
that she's a maga darling. I think that's probably a
(24:29):
bridge that's probably further than we should go. But I
also don't know that she's not. And that's enough in
today's society with social media, that's enough for people to
be like, look, we don't know that you're not on
the right side, and you ain't saying nothing.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
You ain't came.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I took a firmer denial. So we just assuming you are,
and we're gonna keep it pushing.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Everything you're saying now seem like some real like guys,
we just need to stop being divided, but without saying
why or what right, So boom you lost all the people.
But uh yeah, movie wise, I just don't know why
anybody really expects to still be supported with that. You
just got to do amazing work to be supported and
(25:11):
be a conservative in Hollywood. Yes, sir, so, I'm sure
there are people, but they probably not very loud about it.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
That's fine with me.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, And I'm I'm the thing for me is and
I don't say this every time. Sorry, that wasn't supposed
to play. I'm so I am so willing to go
back to a time where I just didn't know. Yes,
Like I never got off on knowing these people's uh
inner workings. I was. I I preferred Chris Pratt's conservatism
(25:47):
to Kelsey Grammars. Yeah, Chris pat don't say shit. Like
the first time he said ship on the record that
I saw was him morning Charlie Kirk, and I was like, yeah,
that's he had a good run, buddy, because before that
you went probably ten years being famous and conservative and
(26:09):
people just speculating and making shit up and adding shit
that wasn't there, but you never gave them nothing to
eat off of. Then you did the Charlie Kirk thing,
and I was like, okay, so everything they said was
probably true, but I appreciate you for shutting the fuck
up as long as you did. I Gina Carono could
still have a job if she would just shut the
fuck up to me, she would.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Have you know what, She could have still had a
job because verbody was like, hey, chill, out.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
She was like, no, I'm going twice as hard. I
was like, ok.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Now, yep, so anyway, let's go to YouTube. Kim Knox says,
caring so true about the translation apps. The Google Translate
app is the only way me and my neighbor communicate.
They're Ukrainian and there. The husband does a lot of
my quick house repairs. The wife will always help watch
my animals or tell me when a package is dropped off.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Oh they're sweet.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah. I just got some new headphones air pods, and
one of the things it said was like, hey, do
you want us to translate languages for you? Just download
these three languages or whatever. If someone starts speaking to another language,
we can translate to you. Oh right. Like I said,
there's so many uses for the AI stuff that aren't
(27:21):
that are automation, not artificial intelligence. And I'm so surprised
that they didn't just stop there, because I think people
will want those things. I think they're being greedy by
trying to call it everything artificial intelligence, and the greed
is fucking shit up because now it's I have to
(27:42):
think about you still in my intellectual property. I have
to think about you still in my artwork. I have
to think about you, you know, price gouging me when
you say, oh, we'll use an artificial intelligence to determine
rent prices. Oh you mean you're fucking me out of
money artificial intelligence or instacart. Oh you mean you're making
so like yeah, so you're making it. You're being so greedy.
(28:06):
And what's gonna make? Video games? They're gonna be great?
Like maybe it will, but man, you know what you
really are knocking out the park right now is the
Google translation?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, the language because the language barrier, like like that's
the real thing.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, and you're not really losing a job there. Meaning
the odds of me, as an American going and learning
this language or finding a teacher to teach me this language,
it's very much low. And the odds of me hiring
a translator to walk around with me is Joe blow
is extremely low.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But me having a phone in my pocket walking be
like I want to go to this place I don't
speak the language, and making we can kind of understand
each other anyway, that's extremely hot. So like it's weird
and get I know why because they're not really about
usage about shareholders and use case things are more mundane,
but those are things that help, whereas a shareholder is
(28:58):
looking like, how can you make everyone be on AI
all the time? Jason says, man, understand, excuse me. I
understand that money is money, But I think both ESPN
and WWE are making a mistake. The people who like
wrestling don't do so because they think it's sports. Quite honestly,
WWE would never would have made more since teaming up
(29:19):
with like Bravo, it's theater, it's reality TV. I'm not
saying that as a this and so Netflix is on there,
Tony Montana. They want the world and everything in it.
Most of the people I know only listen to podcasts
that may catch a video clip on social media or YouTube.
I watch out because I don't want to miss your
lovely faces and Karen's blankets, but typically I'm audio only
as well. But at least Charlamagne got that huge misinformation bag.
(29:42):
We'll see how we're in folds.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, we'll see how it's on folds.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Like I said, I think that this, like other projects,
is somebody came up with the idea and they was like,
let's go forward. Then I think this is a test
run and at the end of whenever the contract ends.
That will determine if they renew it, if they modified,
if they change it, if people leave. Because you know,
a lot is about profitability. How many people will actually watch.
(30:06):
You know they're gonna be watching things like that. And
on top of that, the biggest thing is they determine
how successful it is. If they want to be successful,
they will push it and pump it everywhere, and if not,
that's on them.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah. I actually think a bunch of stuff is changing
before our eyes, and being stuck in the mud is
probably gonna hurt more to help. If podcast is going video,
then this video. Yes, if people are gonna now be
watching podcasts on Netflix, then then if that turns out
(30:37):
to be the next wave in five years from now,
it's like, you don't have your podcast on Netflix? What
the fuck are you thinking? It could be true? You know,
I don't know. As far as Charlemagne and the money
and stuff, I mean, he's a big money guy, he's
a big vision guy. He's the go to guy for
a lot of white people with money that want to
(30:58):
spend it and feel like he has a ear to
the streets of what black people want. Whether it's true
or not, I mean, he's figured out how to brand
it and he is caking off of it. So yeah,
he's and it's not just him that's gonna get on this,
everyone in his network probably or a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
His networkerneath them.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It's one of the things you have to need to
get that money, while you can't particular if they're gonna
offer it for something like that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
And also I just think, honestly, he is representative of
a tent pole for black people because black people watching
shit period. It doesn't matter if you're watching it shaking
your head, doesn't matter if you're watching it not in
your head, but you watch it, and that is undeniable.
And when it comes time to dole out the money,
(31:46):
they're just looking at the analytics and it's like, well,
why wouldn't we give him the most money. He's got
the most people listening and it has that's where they
go for information, no matter how quality or not quality, sir,
so makes sense to me.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
That's complete sense.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
And WWESPN, Yeah, that is a weird thing, weird matchup,
But I honestly, man, they were just trying to bob
all the shit, like you said, they want the word
of everything in it. ESPN wants it too. It's not
just Netflix, Disney is trying to buy everything too, and
so they were like, oh ww Rice for sale, Let's
get them because I think maybe Netflix is trying to
(32:25):
get them before that. So all right, let's see comments
on of course Spotify, and then we'll look at the
poll as well on the website because we got to
do that. Two comments on Spotify, The Shady Dave says
it's not my business to call out the way that
(32:45):
a widow mors. However, I was a young widow only
at only thirty six, when my first husband passed for
complications from childhood leukemia. Our kids were five and nine
years old when he passed. I don't understand why Erica
Kirk is running around with her kids. Well, her kids
need her now out like never before. When I went
through the same thing, I held my babies close because
we were all that I had left. They were all
(33:05):
had left. I don't understand how she's moving. It's disingenious,
making raise an eyebrow dog. It's I hate to be
this patty, but it's the way that they just doing
like fireworks and rock music. It's crazy. This is crazy.
(33:26):
If this was. I can't even imagine if like MLK
got shot and then Coreta showed up and fucking Fireworks
was going off, right, what the fuck are we? What?
This is like an episode of the Boys. This is
why people think The Boys fell off. It's not that
the show fell off, It's that the source material can't
(33:47):
keep up with life.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
No, it can't. It cannot keep up with life.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
This is some ship from life, Like, this is some
ship from from life that I'm like, I'm looking at
the When I seen the video of her coming out
from Fireworks, I'm like, is this ai? Is this out
of context? Is this from a Fourth of July like
celebration with this is a different one. She's been doing
lots of.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
So she's doing the world tall.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
So it was just but it was like I saw
this video and I, honestly God had to stop for
a moment and be like, it's this real? Because I'm like,
I know the Internet knows that that my personal predilections,
based on what I stopped scrolling on, is to be
somebody that would go Erica Kirk rolled my eyes, right,
(34:34):
So maybe that's just super serving me some shit to
make me go, oh man, I hate that lady and
start sharing it. Man, I've seen that shit and was like,
oh that's real. She really they're cheering like it's a
celebration and her husband died. It's crazy even that Nikki clip.
What she start jd vance and assassin and then they
(34:56):
both laughed. Mm hmm what what?
Speaker 3 (35:01):
What is?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
This is a simulation?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
What does happened? To?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Control?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Off the lead?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yes? Please, you lost the plot? Shoe Boody says, ries
Australian accent sounds like New England trans athletic, old timmy
radio accent. It is. It's kind of a joke. I
can't do an Australian accent. Mabe la Pole. Have you
ever heard? Have you heard? All I Want for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Is You?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
By Mariah Carrey this year? Seventy four yes, twenty six
percent no, And I'm like, what rock y'all living under?
Like I feel like y'all must not have left the
house or something. It's on every commercial, every commercial. What
y'all all on the radio?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
My own list of the blackout tips is that you
only be on the internet.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Oh well, all right, let's get to the next segment,
but first commercials. All right. The last episode of the
(36:22):
week thirty two oh one, President Tariff six comments, says,
my cars come from company leasing. The board book with
all the manual is part of the deal, and they
check for it when I get a car back if
it's there. If it's not, I have to pay for it.
So obviously I keep it every time and would never
(36:43):
tow it away throw it away, even if I'm not
really using it often. B Started says, now, I never
throw out a manual for my car, but I do
YouTube almost everything for my car. I'm a visual learner.
Sean says, I have a paper bag feel with my
all my instruction manuals, so I go through it every
through the four years. Throw out the mayals for stuff
I no longer use. He also says Baker Mayfield catching
(37:06):
pancake strays, come on your Panthers already embarrassed him on
the field. I mean not as much as he embarrassed
himself over the last two months, but still, man, I
feel bad for Baker because he's playing with a fucked
up shoulder, and people just football is such a weird
sport because you can know somebody's playing hurt. I guess
all sports is like this, but like because they're playing.
(37:28):
All of a sudden, we go back to like, why
aren't you just being good at sports again? And that's
just not how bodies work. And I kind of take
that about sports analysis. But yeah, it's like Baker Mayfield.
At first, you get a little credit, like, what a
tough guy. He's not missing games. He's going out there
with a hurt shoulder. We love to see it.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Man, the football, so you need your shoulders.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
It's his non throwing shoulder. But yeah, but the point
is when he starts playing like shit again, we're like,
what the fuck's wrong with this guy? Like, we know
what's wrong with him. It shouders hurt and he shouldn't
be plan Like, unless you'all gonna sit them down. This
is the best. This is what it's gonna look like. Yes,
Sir Jamel says, I recently got got a new car,
had to get a new car for the first time
(38:10):
in a long time. The first thing I did was
over the glove box, which I've never stored or known
anyone to put gloves in. But that's a different conversation, right,
And to my surprise, there was no manual in it,
just a QR code for me to scan, which led
to the download the car app. Oh what the manual was?
So this is to say, folks, car manuals are going digital.
(38:32):
Oh man, didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
That makes sense though, Yeah, yeah, I've always had hard
car manuals.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Pus you get some old out of internet reception, you
really have, you even says I keep the manual for everything,
even applies to the things that need assembly long after
I don't need it, partly because I hate throwing stuff
away just in case. Okay, sounds like that was mostly
what people want to talk about, that car manual. Let's
check the check of the YouTube and see what you
guys had to say about that had ten comments. Oh
(39:02):
my goodness, let's see. I think Karen is right about
car manuals, although I don't think it's a n age thing.
I keep mine, But I'm definitely an outlier amongst people
I know well enough to be up in and talk
about their cars. One of my people had a recent
incident where she called me and roadside assistants to see
who would come first. They said, before the car stopped,
(39:23):
it threw a light on the dash and she never
seen it before. I'd driven her car before, so I
knew the mayor was nowhere to be found. She's a
boomer and I'm a gen exer with anxiety. People prove
every day that they are dumber than I thought the
day before.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yes, it too. It's too many, too many things go wrong,
too many lights. It's all type shit. No, I got
to know what the funk I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
At regarding connections. One day, me and Wina Loud, the
editor are gonna have to square up. I love that game,
but it'd be pissed me off sometimes anyway. Mary christ y'all,
Alicia says Karen is right on this one, the one.
The only time I've had the owner's mayor was when
I bought the car new and my latest car had
the owner's manual in the touch screen menu, not a
physical and ride. You are very responsible and not like
(40:03):
most folks, and I like how highly you think of
the rest of us. Man, I'm just shocked. Like the paper,
but I like it well, touchscreen manyals fine, I don't care,
but I just I'm shocked that it like we're all
just anecdotally going off of this, but I honest to god,
I would be shocked if people just threw away their manuals.
(40:25):
I don't know why. That just seems like a ridiculous thing.
It just seems it seems like you're going out of
your way, is what I'm saying. Like you're the car
comes with a manual in the glove box, it's normally
in a compartment that's not taking that much room. You're
actually going out of your way. You're you're being like
being lazy, would just be to keep it, so I
(40:46):
don't That's why I think I'm having a hard time,
even though y'all are you know, anecdotally saying I'm wrong,
I'm having a hard time coming to grizz with that
because I'm like, I don't think I'm wrong. I think
if we started breaking in cars today and went through
everybody's glove department, I feel like we're gonna find a
lot of manuals. That's crazy to me. You just put
the key in the ignition, open up the just put
(41:08):
the key in ignition, open up the glove box, and
then roll the window down, throw the manual out, and
just drive off. Like that's just crazy, Like you mis
Chip says, I knew the real idea was a scam.
It was it made people jump through hoops to get
in to get it, and now all they have to
do is pay a fee every time too. Uh you
(41:30):
going says, what's worse for ride going to Dinny's or
eating at Arby's. Going to Dinny's always worse than eating
at Arby's. My thing is just I don't think people
are eating at Arby's. I don't think Arby's is racist necessarily.
I mean there are races in that they give ninety
seven percent of their money that politically to the GOP,
But I don't think, you know, I don't think eating
(41:52):
there you would experience that. Hugh Goingon says President Tariff
is definitely a revealed preference. President Troll also works terrors,
controlling all about all he seemed to do. I guess
terrorism too. If you have a fishing voat in Philoe
Venezuela Latitia says, I don't pronounce the L in chalk,
and I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced. I
(42:14):
say it like walk, but with a C. Maybe it's
an L. A thing I said, walk is still pronouncing
the L because unless you say whack, you're pronouncing the L.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Walk.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Yeah, walk, chalk, it's an L y'all, y'all are saying
the L. How do you if if put it this way,
the word all has two l's in it, right when
you say all, how would you say all if you
couldn't pronounce the L, it's just be ah, So you
(42:51):
would have to be saying walk talk. And I think
people mostly say the L. Now they may be mispronouncing it. Yeah,
you know, maybe they think it sounds more like chalk
with a W. But it's an L sound in there
if you pronounce it correct this chalk not chalk. So
(43:15):
I'm saying maybe not I'm from Georgia, we say it chalk. Yeah.
That once again, that's a that's a pronunciation thing. That's
not y'all saying it's a solid L. What I'm saying is,
even if you're from Georgia and you have that pronunciation
of it, what you're doing is not saying it's a
silent L. You're just saying, I pronounce all my l's
like that. Yeah, right, Like like you you're the same
(43:35):
person that be Like like whenever whenever it came tying
to pronounce something else that had an L in it,
you'd say, you know, you say it that way too,
it's it's like a solid L in a word that
has an A in it. It's like how some people
say almond instead of almond. Almond is a silent L
(43:56):
because you're not even acknowledging that L there. That's almond. Yeah,
I got some almonds. Now, I know some people say almend.
You know, I say almond, but that's pronouncing it L.
So anyway, I don't think it's that complicated, but maybe
they That's how connections got y'all last, Shaye says, I
don't caring. They said one thing, but now it's you
(44:17):
got forty five dollars though, Yeah, for the TSA.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Right, So they made people.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
They made the States pump a lot of money that
they didn't have because a lot of it because the
biggest thing was the States. The States is like, we
gotta get new machines we got. That's what delayed and
they kept pushing it back.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
The States is like, bitch, this is expensive.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
As shit, right, Paul, you don't pronounce that L. Do
you call yourself? Paul? That's how you pronounced what we're
doing here, guys? What are we doing? What are we doing?
Come on, guys, If it wasn't pronounced that L, it
would just go straight to the K. That's how we'll
(44:56):
go check. That would be its at the chalks instead
of stalk, it would be stacked. That's a sound that's
completely silent, which yeah, which means it's not there's no
other words that don't have the L in it. That's
st a K and we say stalk. There's no other
word like that, keeping silent, meaning as if it did
(45:19):
not exist, as if it's changing nothing. What are the
words that have st a K that we pronounced all?
We don't have any. The L is the thing that
is changing the pronunciation. There, guys, it's not complicated, all right, Uh,
let me get back to this. Niggas won't be different,
(45:40):
Jason says, Man, I remember when I first heard about
Denny's racism. I want to say it was the first
time I got the racism talk. Man, your boy was heartbroken.
Denny was my spot.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
Oh no, baby, just like you know what the pancakes,
This is a racism on the side.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
In this case, I'm thankful for some racist man, because honestly,
Denny's is not good. So you getting racism getting you
to go somewhere else to eat. That's great, because Denny's
is terrible. I was a huge baseball fan and they
had their own baseball cars. Damn, damn, damn. That should
let you know baseball To any youngins who they're not
(46:19):
basketball cars in there. To any youngins who thought it
was a big deal with Starbus who came to face
some racism for a couple of months a few years ago,
that was nothing. Social media would have ended Denny's. Also,
in response to the miss feeling thing, racism can still
get your crown taken in the beauty pageant here in
the US. The difference is they would replace that crown
with a House of Representative seat. Oh no, yeah, I honestly,
(46:40):
I feel like that's where jay Z. I mean, that's
what Jael Covan is sucking up. He's doing all this
campaign and he's like, Oh, I'm gonna get in the streets.
I'm gonna represent the people. His ad came out, it
was great, It's brilliant. He's raising money, he's shaking hands,
kissing babies. Hey man, if you don't just record yourself
called some black the N word, don't do that. Okay,
(47:02):
go viral, You'll be in Congress tomorrow. I've seen it
work for others. Okay, if this don't work out, jail
plan B. I can be the black person that gets
that goes, what what'd you say to me? And next
thing you know, you're you're you're gotta go fund me
and you're you're in Congress and then maybe you can
switch up the votes once you get there. I don't
(47:23):
know the pole. Oh wait, I'm sorry. Comments on Spotify
that was farther. Wow. Okay, see what they had to say.
Rob was right to balk about chalk and connections. I
also agree with Karen and believe some drivers should just walk. Ah,
that's hilarious. That's a person that knows l's are not
(47:46):
silent in those words. Patrina says, I too, keep my manuals.
M h mucho. Mama says, I don't pronounce that L
and chalk. I never heard any pronounce it. Maybe it's
an L a thing. Please let me hear you the
word chalk and then after that, I wanted to see
you say the word. I want to hear y'all say
the word stalk and then say the word stack. If
(48:06):
they don't sound the exact same, then you are pronouncing
the L. Now you may be pronouncing it with some
sort of local dialect like DoPT locally. Yeah, Like we
have accents down here in the South, but we're not
not pronouncing the L. We just have a Southern accent there.
We say other words that are spelled without that L
(48:26):
differently than we say walk. Shady Dame says, my son
is twenty one. He's getting rid of all the males,
including car mayos, because he said everything is online. Man,
we're good luck. I hope he's right.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
Good luck.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
I feel bad for your baby, particularly if he ain't
got one of these new finger calls where you can
skin it or is in your dashboard.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Well, no, he might be right. I'm just saying good luck. Like,
my thing is not that everything's not on the internet.
I think everything is on the Internet. I just think
there's a couple of issues with it. One, things are
becoming a lot less rigid with the way that we
have parameters on Internet information. Meaning if AI Google results
(49:09):
are wrong, they're just wrong, and they don't really give
a fuck if they're wrong, no one's fact checking them.
There's no recourse to it. YouTube and all this stuff.
Once again, you gotta be in a place where you
can get the internet, so you gotta hopefully not break
down in the middle of somewhere where it's like, fuck,
I'm not getting a signal out here and shit go
(49:29):
all the time. Yeah, so you know, but I get it.
I'm not I'm not mad. I think that's the future.
I think that's that's that makes sense. It's like people
getting mad at folks who haveing digital clocks, like, I'm
not mad. That makes sense to me to just move,
Like why would you need to know the hands in
the seconds? Go ahead, let's see. Uh. But yes, she says,
(49:51):
they do put their car manuals in their house, in
the kitchen and the drawer in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
That don't do you no good if you break down
on the side of the road. Y, we should start
keeping the car manos with the car because we don't
need the Mayos on the house we needed in the car.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Yeah, yep, yeah, shady dame, that's a smart move.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Yeah, because, like you say, sometimes and it might sound minor,
but sometimes it might be something minor, like ay, something
for the windshield, they something for this, like because all
them buttons, look, they very poor car and when they flash.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
Your brain is like, what is this? What is this
What is this? Mm hmm, I know my brain does,
and like I gotta figure out what the fuck this?
Is it serious? Is it not serious?
Speaker 1 (50:30):
All I know is is red and it's looking at
me and I'm looking at it. Mm.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Shoe Booty says, car manuals stay in the car when
I gotta look up dumb stuff like what's does echo
button't even do? I gotta I got a whole binder
of the household manuals, fire appliances or whatnot, saying saying,
all right and nepol, do you keep the manual that
(50:55):
came with the car in your glove compartment? Yes? Or
I don't have a car. This is a big results here, guys,
because Karen's said they don't. I'm saying, obviously, the vast
majority of people do. We've had several people right in
to say the people don't. They don't think they do.
(51:16):
I don't know that anyone's agreeing with me except the poll.
The pole says ninety one percent of the people that
have that took this poll say yes, I keep my
manual in the same part of my in the glove
department in my car because it came with it. Only
four percent say no, and four percent don't have a car.
(51:40):
If we take out the four percent that said I
don't have a car, it's even high. It's like ninety
five percent of y'all ninety eight percent of some shits
like we keep the main I think I'm right. I'm
sorry everybody. I don't care y'all disagree. We'll never know
for sure unless I start breaking the car. But I would, honestly,
I would be stunned if people were throwing their car
(52:04):
mails out of their car just because it's more work
to get rid of it than to keep it. If
you still have the boxes your Apple products came in,
because they're a little fancy.
Speaker 3 (52:17):
I do they sit right here somewhere.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
If you still have those, you ain't a car manual
throwing out motherfucker because those things coming binders and ship
they look fancy. Y'all like to keep that, all right.
I don't think we got any voicemails, although we did
just get a new package in our regular Oh the
package is in here. Yeah, yeah, it's an Amazon box.
(52:43):
But we do have emails, and we do have snail mail,
and we did get something from Amazon. So we'll come

the car. Everybody m be awkward to get it now
because how we're gonna but we're gonna do this. This
stall the show for the two minutes I need to
go out to the car. I don't know. You have

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
What could possibly what good could come of that? This one?
A lot of handwritten cursive. I'll get to it in
the backbone. In the front says happy holidays the Romeros,

Was like, let's go get these pictures, all right, last
one and then we'll open up the package. This one is.
Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
What. I can't see nothing I know, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
What this is just so crazy. I can't believe it's
last one. It's a Star Wars ornament of Darth Vader.
Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
It says you cannot resist, you must fulfill your holiday destiny.
Although I imagine it said you know you must not resist
like Vader. But I can't do that voice because our
voice too like and on the inside says dear Rod
and Karen, come to the merry side, sincerely, Mike, be
and Debbie. Oh, longtime listeners. The vinyl character in the
front of his car could be removed and hung for decoration. Oh,
(01:06:28):
it will be removed and it will be hung for decoration.
I'm not gonna I don't want to rip it right now.
I don't want to mess this up. But oh, this
is going on our tree. We got a tree. It's
a little baby tree, but oh yeah, it's yes Darth
Vader ornament. And the reason that I reacted that way
(01:06:50):
is man and not to make it a negative thing,
but we used to have a listener who would send
us these every year, like this ornament Star Wars ornament,
and you know, pretty cool person. It seemed. I have
no idea what happened, but something happened. They stopped fucking
with us. I don't remember what it was, but you know,
(01:07:11):
you get used to that as part of doing the podcast. Like,
it doesn't have to be personal. It could just be
in opinion you had. It could be they just got
tired of listening or whatever, you know, And I can't
remember what the what it was that made them be like,
you know, fuck y'all or whatever. It could be a
tweet or something, but they stopped listening and I was like, Hey,
that's there, right, and you just got it, Like it's
(01:07:31):
not about being angry or upset with them. You really
have to get used to that. If you want to
be in the business we're in, you need to get
used to people being able to say, like, at the
drop of the hat, I'm not fucking with y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
No more, and to be able to keep your sanity.
Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
Yeah, sometimes it's literally something you did. Sometimes it's something
they going through. It don't it don't really.
Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
MA don't matter.
Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
But I was like, man, I thought that person really
liked us, but you know whatever, they stopped fucking with us. Oh,
let's go. We're gonna miss those those ornaments. And I
remember I googled and tried to find how to get
these ornaments. I couldn't figure out how I was. I
don't know they stopped selling them or what, but I
was like, man, I miss having a Star Wars ornament
(01:08:12):
every year. That was like a really cool thing. That
that person did, and you know, I hate that they,
you know, are out like that. So that's why when
I opened I was like, oh my god, it's crazy.
Life is so crazy that one of y'all out there
was like, you know what, they were probably like these
Star Wars ornaments and we're gonna hang up on the
tree and it's absolutely going on my tree. That's so beautiful.
(01:08:34):
What a crazy coincidence.
Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Thank you, thank you, baby.
Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
And lastly, we did get something in the mail physically,
and it sounds like we got another package. Just a
couple of minutes ago. By the way, I got another email.
Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
It was like, y'all got something else.
Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
So next week we'll have something else to open, unless
we will check it later or something.
Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Y'all know they slow with the mails, so Chad, we're
gonna be be like merror. Christmas happened New Year probably
until the middle of January.
Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
But let me see the note first, because you know,
you got to give respect to the people with the note,
and it was a couple of things in here, all right.
It says holiday, Happy holidays, baby, mama, daddy, thank you
for the daily double me hits Miss crys bl Oh.
(01:09:20):
Now you know miss criscible. The last time we heard
from her, she was telling me you need to wirese
chicken with industrial sprays, and uh, it's always fun when
you can have like fans that you can have a
rapport with like that where you can make jokes with
them and it's not like, you know, gonna turn into
(01:09:41):
anything escalating. And the gifts are in a sutra sleep
mask set. Mm hmmm, sleep mask set. So you wear
it so help you go to sleep I soon, or
for sex. You know a lot of pop I hear
a lot of people like using them for sex. I'm
not saying I know those because he can't see. No. Yeah,
(01:10:01):
some people like they didn't that freaky ship. Okay, so
I guess you could use it for that. Although it's
a weighted sleep mask, it's not like one of those
sexy light sleep masks. This got some type of jail
in it.
Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
Oh shit, is like, oh you want to go to sleep?
Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Sleep? Oh man, I'm afraid to put this on. I'm like,
fucking pass out.
Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Put this on.
Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
You're gonna just pass out on this. Probably for Karen,
you can wear it too. I don't really I don't
really do sleep mask, but she got me something for sure,
because it's Russell Ruski's honey rib rub Now. I know
that's for me because you know what I like ribs. Okay,
good rub on some honey. Okay, I'm into it. So
(01:10:46):
I would definitely be honey rubbing some ribs soon, yes,
based on based on just this gift along and then
Karen will be sleeping on the couch and his mask
probably I don't know. Will thank you everybody, man, it's
been awesome. Happy holidays to y'all. We'll be back throughout
the you know, next couple of weeks. I'm sure we'll
(01:11:07):
be sporadically taking time off here and there because it's
holidays for us the same way as for y'all. But
we'll be around and we'll be planning on doing shows
and stuff. And I know some of y'all gotta work
some of these days, so you're gonna need something to
listen to.
Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
The premium people are gonna put out some premium stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Yeah, of course. So all right, y'all, until next time,
I love you, h
I listen to the Black Guy Who Tips podcast because
Rodin Karen Ahut.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hey, welcome to another episode of the Blackout Tips podcast.
I'm your host. Rod Joined is always on our co
host and we're live on a Saturday. More than ready
to do some podcasts and find us everywhere you get podcasts,
search the Blackout Tips. We'll come up. Leave us five
star reviews on Apple podcasts and make them nice. If
they are, we'll read them on the air. The official
(00:28):
weapon of the show is and an unofficial sport and
bulletball Extreme and today is a feedback show. This is
when we cover all the things that you guys had
to say about the things that we covered throughout the week.
You can email us voicemail. It's all in the show notes.
All that stuff is right there. Holler at us. Let
us know how you feel about what we said. This
(00:52):
is your opportunity. Okay. A lot of times podcasts they
just do what they do. They go off to the ether.
They don't give a fuck about y'all. I don't care,
but we do. So we're trying to help. Okay, So
make sure y'all let us know how you think about
and what you feel about things. The official weapon of
the show is folding chair. The folding chair, that's correct.
(01:14):
And I found out today that on the pod Jam
three tickets they have a folding chair sponsorship level.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Old snap, Yes, that's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They actually have a folding chair sponsorship level where you like,
so they email me, the person over email me and
I was like, oh, so, y'all are trying to make
money off of it. I don't know how it all works,
and she said, they actually aren't trying to make money
off of it necessarily. They just want people to attend
(01:52):
and show up. And they've had people in the past
where like you can sponsor to have someone flown out,
travel fees, all that type of stuff. Yeah, like it's crazy,
but they also had to pay what you can afford
just in case you just in the area, you just
want to come, whatever you know you can afford, you
can just show up. But yeah, they're just like, we
(02:14):
just want to break even, like we like, we're not
even necessarily doing this with a profit mark in mind,
which I think is you know, super dope bunch of liberal,
progressive minded people coming together fellowship spend a little time together.
I think that's dope. I think we need that community
in these times. And the ticket link is always in
(02:34):
the show notes, so make sure you guys go check
it out. And I believe they actually have. Let me
just be sure before I say some shit that's wrong,
but I'm almost one hundred percent sure. I looked on
there and saw that they have virtual tickets. Yeah, they
also have virtual tickets too, so if you can't be
there in person, you can actually sign up for the
virtual tickets and watch it, you know, virtually.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Right, So if y'all want to see us and you
can't make it, if you're in an area things like that,
we're definitely looking forward to it. And for those of
you that are, you know, coming from you know, all
across the country, we look forward to seeing you in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, I can't wait, man, it's gonna be a dope time.
I've never been to Vegas, although I heard it's mad
expensive and crazy like like different now, but it used
to be. I don't know. I guess I wasn't there
for the old time, so maybe I can't be like
it was always expensive, wasn't it anyway? Right?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
In my mind?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Feedback time, You guys know, what we do. We're gonna
start with the people who took the time out of
their busy lives and said, hey, we just want to
give you some money. On the right hand side of

Is this just a question?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
All we wanted for Christmas was five star v That's it.
We ask too much. We didn't ask for much.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
New Year knew you new review, Get on it. New
Year knew you re review.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
If you already left one or two, you could leave
us another five starts.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All right, let's get into the comments on the website
and everywhere else. Episode thirty one ninety nine was our
feedback episode. You can't out Gwyneth the Paltrow. We got
four comments, says Rob with the truce. About dating, people
always say it's the worst. I remember when I was dating,
people definitely said it was awful and it used to
be better before. Thank you for explaining the white friends thing,
(06:32):
it makes more sense and what I imagine was insane, like
Rod refusing to be seen with white people in public.
But I hope without this backstory, it was confusing. Yeah,
that is pretty wild, and I guess maybe that's why
it sounds so funny every time I say when I
used to have white friends, but yeah, yeah, you know,
I guess I can't. Yeah, it's funny. I think it's
(06:55):
more funny that you've been walking around for two three
years in your head that when I say that, there's
like that that I'm the kind of person that talks
how I talk. It's level headed and open minded and
patient and fair as I try to be. You're like, yeah,
but he hate white people, like he don't want to
(07:15):
be being picture of the me. He sees the white people.
He will stop them and say, hey, we're not friends. Okay,
just let you know, buddy.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
He's maxim in the face. They get out my way,
you can come over my house.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
This is not a friendship. Whatever you call this, you
tell people, maybe we should have that policy. I mean,
maybe that's how we end up being the black friend
that white people excuse. Like jd Vance's black friend is
probably not even his friend. He's just a guy that
knows jd Vance a little bit. Jd Vance is like, listen,
I got a black friend, so it's okay. When I
(07:45):
said mature young lady, Erica says, hey, it's Erica. I
love sending holiday cars. I got mine out super early
this year. I hope you guys got mine. I even
made sure they include my dog's name on the car
this year because Karen mentioned it last year. Yay. I
hope you guys have an amazing holiday and I can't
wait get my Blackout Tips card. Cool. Yeah, so up
there on the Blackout Tips cards. Still taking emails for
(08:08):
your mailing address. Just make sure it's in the correct
mailing format. You guys have been doing outstanding.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
This day just makes the pressus so much.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Only one person messed it up. I won't point you
out because I don't want you to feel bad, but
only one person messed it up so far, and I'll
probably give it a couple more weeks of collecting the
holiday email addresses, because once I ordered the cards, that's it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, we normally announced a little bit earlier in the year.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, that's fine. Whatever. It's forty one addresses that we
have so far. So once we get up to you
know whatever, say say we get to seventy five or
eighty or something, if I order one hundred cards, that's it, right,
Like I'm not ordering more. So if you still you
still have time, if you want to get your email,
if you want to get your mailing addressed to us,
(08:59):
thank you for everyone's taking the time out to do it.
I got the artwork for the card done as far
as the design that I want to use, and I
got stickers that are going to be included in the
cards that we're going to send out this year. So
I have to wait for those things to be mailed
(09:20):
to me before we can send them out. So that's
why I'm saying, you've got time, probably a couple of
weeks before we start mailing these things out, and then
once we start mailing them out, that's probably it. Sean says,
I try to keep up with the sports Ball to
be competent in the conversation, mainly because this epic sports
program called Balls. These sports highly recommend it. But usually
(09:41):
I will end my takes with but I don't really
follow the sports ball as a joke. That being said,
the use of us references for shorthand can make conversations
much smoother, unless you are in a place where you
are dealing with people from a dozen different countries, of
various ages and limited shared references. I don't delight in
not you getting references. I do deep dives and end
up knowing way too much about way too many things,
(10:02):
and then I use references and presentations that I know
will make exactly one person in the room laugh. By
the way, congrats to the Panthers for to feed my bucks.
Hopefully we'll get you next week. Well, hopefully not.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
The Panther let's go.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I don't know why I would be hopeful for that
at all. Y'all just get a super Bowl. Your greedy
motherfucker's calm down. Y'all ain't gonna do shit in the
playoffs anyway. If y'all get in there, i' might as
well let us get in there. We'll have more fun
getting in there and flaming out in week one than
y'all will.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
We will losing the first round, yeah, losing the wildcard game.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Ain't y'all got a bunch of injuries and shit. Stop
being greedy. Even he says, I used to send holiday
cars for but the spirit of the screws got a
hold of me. Now people are electing to get a
married Christmas from me, although I will pretend that my
kid and my nieces and for my kids, my nieces
and my nephews, just like wu tang Christmas for the kids. Yeah,
I agree. My niece has a Christmas birthday, so I
(10:54):
make sure to get her two gifts so that she
won't never get short changed on Christmas with people. That's
just like, here's your Christmas gift, and happy birthday as
well with this one gift. So I got her a
couple of things, and then I got my nephews at
like a I get them a because it's three of them.
(11:16):
I get them a video game gift card basically to
be like, go spend this. However, y'all want on the PlayStation.
Just y'all. Brother, I had a brother growing up. I
know what it is. Y'all gonna have to share them toys.
That's just what it is. I love all y'all, but
that's that's that. Those are the rules. Okay. I'll teaching
(11:36):
y'all a valuable lesson and sharing. Okay, y'all have.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
To sit down and discuss what game.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah, we got When we was coming up, my parents
wasn't like you get a Sega Genesis, you get a Nintendo.
It's like Nigga this, y'all take his two controllers figure
it out. Yeah, is his one controllers share anyway? So
I got them something and I got Caring a gift
as well.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yes, I like my gif because I.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Sit on the side of a cow sit up that
that it's kind of I won't say no man's laying.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But it's kind of off to the side.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So like if I have snacks or a cup or
anything like that, I don't can never have nowhere to
put it.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
It got me something to keep my black as organized.
I was like, you look at this, let's go.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's like a trade with like snack for snacks. You
can have a cup over there and it won't spill
over because Karen often doesn't have a place to sit
here drink or whatever without spilling. You can put your
phone in there and charge it. It's it's like a
(12:41):
pretty cool thing. I think I can show it to
y'all on the screen a lot. But yeah, I uh so,
what made you get it? I just know that you
be struggling with the cups over there. Sometimes Well then
I look over there, it's like, uh, you know, you're
you're basically sitting up there, like uh like do I
(13:04):
put my cup on the ground or I.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Put it between the caps cushions? Thank you for thinking
about me.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
No problem. So yeah, that's this is basically what it
looks like, guys, and and just you know, you can
put stuff in it and whatever. So it was but
simple gift, you know, nothing too fancy. And yeah the
Christmas for the kids. I agree, Uh, Eve says, uh,
I mean, I'm sorry. Then we got comments on YouTube.
(13:37):
You can't outgent the Paltrow. Let's see how many comments
we got on this one. One new comment or one
comment it says provocative AF Cheers, folks, thanks for another
great feedback show. Happy holidays to both of you and
all the black Out Tips fans. Thanks Buddy Yay, I
appreciate you. And did we get any comments on Spotify?
(13:59):
I guess we can find out together as a family.
Let's see audience comments. No comments on this one on Spotify,
And so we go to the post the Poe. Do
you send out holiday cards? Obviously yes for us twenty
seven percent, yes, seventy four percent. No, yeah, I think
(14:21):
that number is always going to be like that. I
think the vast majority of us do not send out cards.
If we did not have the podcast, I don't know
that I would do it, but I would have gotten
into it. But now that we I've done it a
few times. I love it. I look forward to it
every year. Will you get them by Christmas? Probably not,
(14:43):
but that's okay. This is a nice little treat anytime
of the year to get a little hey, how you
doing Here's here's a sticker. So yeah, it makes sense
though that a lot of people probably dropped it, especially
with us going so digital now.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yes, I think that's what got a lot of people
out out of it. A lot of people probably now
just send you an email with like an E card
or something like that, which is you can probably send
more of them out and kind of hit more people
up than to actually go through the regular post office.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Let's go to the next episode. No commercial break, Okay,
As Christmas, I got y'all thirty two hundred, Nicki Minaj
and Erica Kirk. We got five comments on this one.
Apia says, love the parking story. It made me realize
that we live in the future in this area good.
I got used to it and as a human expected
Now when I am smaller, older one that doesn't have it,
(15:30):
I think, no green and red light in this park house?
What am I? An animal? Love Karen's energy, and in
my head we are friends. I get on this show
every time aggressive Katie Carrick ads, So that's what they're
doing in Germany. Katy Carrick out here and aggressive? What
the fuck does aggressive Katie Carrick even soundl right? What
(15:51):
does that sound like? I can't imagine that lady sounding
aggressive me at all. Her whole job is just being pleasant. Yes,
it is like you would try to tell me Afia,
you seem lost. Haven't you noticed that I'm more your
peer group? Come over, I have Bernie Sanders. You might
not have understood Bernie. Oh, maybe that's what she's doing.
She's trying to cut you away from the blackout tips.
She's like, don't girl, you over here with these black folks.
(16:13):
You better come over here with this good Katie currit,
Bernie whiteness. Come over. You clearly want it, you must.
I still don't. Ha ha. Sean says, I work with
some Filipinos. So I've been hearing Christmas songs since September.
In the Philippines, Christmas starts at September first and ends
January seventh, if I remember correctly, Americans are getting off
light apparently. So you say getting off light, I say
(16:36):
we're not getting enough Christmas.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, from September.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I would like more Christmas spirit over in this country.
I'm sorry? Am I alone in that? I think a
lot of you motherfuckers because you're lighting up? Christmas should
be about three months long? Man? Why so serious? Y'all
pretend to be good people longer?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
We ain't that truth?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Honestly, I can't get all our I can't get all
I want for Christmas. You out of my head anyway.
It doesn't matter what I'm doing, So might as well
let it stay in that for the three months. Erica
says all I Want for Christmas play five times in
the nail shot. When I was there, it was about
a two hour visit. Mariah getting that big bag. I'm
good on not hearing it again until next year. Lol.
(17:18):
Did you hear the last Christmas by Wham finally knocked
her out of the number one spot this year? I
did not hear that one. I hear that, but I did.
I've heard last Christmas quite a few places I've gone
this week. I know they played at the Hornets game.
But of course they played all I Want for Christmas
as you as well, and they did a sing along.
And I will say this time when they did the
(17:40):
sing along, people looked a little over it, like not
everybody was singing along last year, everybody was like singing along.
This year people was kind of like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I guess they had been in it for since since
a Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, They're like, uh, close enough. Whatever. All I Want
for Christmas is the Hornets get this w and they did.
Sean says from from minaj It Twat to eight off,
this was a wild section. Minaj is twat, Oh like
Minaja twat. I see what you're saying. I see what
you did. By the way, because Germany, I'm sorry. I
(18:15):
got a little cold. I'm a little under the conf
medce and weather. I'm drinking this hot tidy. I might
not be as sharp as.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
No hopefully, and make it too strong because I pulled
heavy hand. You like to pat your alcohol.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It is strong, but I'm gonna make it Okay, I apologize.
I'm not playing on doing anything today. I don't I'm
not going to the gym with a cold. I don't
want to spread this thing. So I'm just gonna stay
here on the couch. By the way, because Germany opposed
so many colonial regimes in Africa, he has seen quite
differently than he has seen it in Eurocentric histories. Also,
Adolph not as vilified in Africa as he has other places.
(18:49):
I guess that's what you're saying. Okay, Well, I mean
if they finished reading the whole book, I think they'll
see he was not necessarily pro black folk either. But
not my job.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
The black Germans he kill me.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't live there. I don't understand all the histories,
and so I can recognize they may have a completely
different understanding than I do. But uh yeah, I don't know.
I still feel like Adolph, regardless of where you are
on the spectrum, is a naming your kid. Adolf Hitler
pretty pretty much frowned upon by everyone.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, because once you got to a certain age, that's
somebody told you the history. But I look, as soon
as I become an adult, I'm changing this bitch.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I feel like if we workshop that if we focus
group that, I don't think it's going too far. So
maybe I'm tripping Nigga min ij just basically the female
version of Kanye, says Eve, the coonery has reached the
level she can't possibly come back from. Honestly, I lost
our respect for her when she posted I Believe in
the Bible directly after the post nightclub shooting. Oh, I
don't even remember that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I try not to pay her attention unless she just
kind of come in my p you I.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It's I don't remember that. But also like niggas in
a really weird place because she has a lot of
gay fans a lot, so her polling is like Christian
conservative Trump shit. I don't know where it could possibly
go unless it really is as obvious as it seems,
(20:24):
and I think it is ridiculous as it seems, if
it's really just some sort of can you parton my
brother and my husband YP I.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Paid the price. I paid the price. That's basically what
she's she advertising, and she's gonna pay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I just wonder because like musically, I mean, I guess
maybe musically her career is being over. Yeah, Like it's
not like we're looking around as people going band oh man,
that Nigga minajam win? Is that dropping right?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
You don't know her fans were. I don't know if
they are now after all this foolishness, but you know.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I also think her uh and I said this a
far on here, there's a certain type of toxic gay
that is a fan of these like stan War crashing
out shit that have always been a fan of Nicki
Minaj that has skied me out totally, like, yes, well,
I'm like these people. They think this is all fun
(21:14):
and games for them, and they even when she's just
been wrong and uh, what do you call it? Uh,
doxing people and stuff like that and harassing people. You
would see like these clearly like a very clearly white
male gay social media presence that just thought this was
such entertainment. And I've always thought that was weird. Yes,
(21:35):
I have to mind you, there's nothing wrong with being
a Christian, but that was very poorly time considering a
huge chunk of her fan base as LGBTQ. Not to mention,
going to the right isn't as profitable as she thinks
it will be because they don't support short. I guess
they don't support people look at Sidney Sweeney, all her
movies flop, and she's a maga darling. Well she's in
(21:57):
a weird place because she's not really a mago darling.
But she ain't really. She like pushed against like the
left leading progressive type of internet social media people that
loved her, like, who's watching you for you?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I mean it shows about trauma, sex, drugs, trans kids, Like,
it's about a bunch of stuff that these people on
the right pretend either doesn't exist or they just think
it's all the devil. Yeah, And so I don't know
(22:34):
what her pivot to the right was supposed to net her,
because those type of people don't want to watch a
movie about her being a gay by a lesbian boxer,
and on some level, even though they are huge hypocrites
and whatever, they actually don't want to go out and
spend money to watch her pull the titties out either,
which because you know, the Christian conservative people think that's
(22:57):
the devil. Like, I just don't know what the move was.
I really think deep down it's probably just her family's conservative.
When you grow up with a family that loves you
and they are conservative. There's some spots in your mind,
that just kind of become washed over where you're like, uh,
everybody needs to love my family every We just need
(23:20):
to come together. We need to stop being so divisive.
What's wrong with liking Trump? I don't even get the point. Yeah,
and that's in your very small circle, But when it
comes to fame, that's a huge circle with a lot
of people with a lot of different politics and beliefs
and things that bring us all together. Trump's bad at that,
being maggots bad at that, and Republicans are bad at that.
(23:40):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
The whole thing is being divisive, Like yeah, that's the
whole thing, divide divide vibe.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So you're gonna have people copping please for and making
her to be the victim of it all. And that's
fine if they want to do that. But the truth
of the matter is she was fine just a couple
of years ago, when nobody really knew she had the
Maga family, nobody really knew she was Uh, she wasn't
doing these interviews kind of dog whistling some conservative talking
points which people cheep trying to avoid like that's not
(24:07):
a thing, and uh, she didn't register as a Republican
in Florida to vote last like for like last year,
you voted like you've registered to vote conservative. People can
look that shit up now, so they putting the pieces
together and painting this tapestry. Now, she might not be
any of these things. Like I said, I don't know
that she's a maga darling. I think that's probably a
(24:29):
bridge that's probably further than we should go. But I
also don't know that she's not. And that's enough in
today's society with social media, that's enough for people to
be like, look, we don't know that you're not on
the right side, and you ain't saying nothing.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
You ain't came.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I took a firmer denial. So we just assuming you are,
and we're gonna keep it pushing.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Everything you're saying now seem like some real like guys,
we just need to stop being divided, but without saying
why or what right, So boom you lost all the people.
But uh yeah, movie wise, I just don't know why
anybody really expects to still be supported with that. You
just got to do amazing work to be supported and
(25:11):
be a conservative in Hollywood. Yes, sir, so, I'm sure
there are people, but they probably not very loud about it.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
That's fine with me.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, And I'm I'm the thing for me is and
I don't say this every time. Sorry, that wasn't supposed
to play. I'm so I am so willing to go
back to a time where I just didn't know. Yes,
Like I never got off on knowing these people's uh
inner workings. I was. I I preferred Chris Pratt's conservatism
(25:47):
to Kelsey Grammars. Yeah, Chris pat don't say shit. Like
the first time he said ship on the record that
I saw was him morning Charlie Kirk, and I was like, yeah,
that's he had a good run, buddy, because before that
you went probably ten years being famous and conservative and
(26:09):
people just speculating and making shit up and adding shit
that wasn't there, but you never gave them nothing to
eat off of. Then you did the Charlie Kirk thing,
and I was like, okay, so everything they said was
probably true, but I appreciate you for shutting the fuck
up as long as you did. I Gina Carono could
still have a job if she would just shut the
fuck up to me, she would.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Have you know what, She could have still had a
job because verbody was like, hey, chill, out.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
She was like, no, I'm going twice as hard. I
was like, ok.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Now, yep, so anyway, let's go to YouTube. Kim Knox says,
caring so true about the translation apps. The Google Translate
app is the only way me and my neighbor communicate.
They're Ukrainian and there. The husband does a lot of
my quick house repairs. The wife will always help watch
my animals or tell me when a package is dropped off.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Oh they're sweet.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah. I just got some new headphones air pods, and
one of the things it said was like, hey, do
you want us to translate languages for you? Just download
these three languages or whatever. If someone starts speaking to another language,
we can translate to you. Oh right. Like I said,
there's so many uses for the AI stuff that aren't
(27:21):
that are automation, not artificial intelligence. And I'm so surprised
that they didn't just stop there, because I think people
will want those things. I think they're being greedy by
trying to call it everything artificial intelligence, and the greed
is fucking shit up because now it's I have to
(27:42):
think about you still in my intellectual property. I have
to think about you still in my artwork. I have
to think about you, you know, price gouging me when
you say, oh, we'll use an artificial intelligence to determine
rent prices. Oh you mean you're fucking me out of
money artificial intelligence or instacart. Oh you mean you're making
so like yeah, so you're making it. You're being so greedy.
(28:06):
And what's gonna make? Video games? They're gonna be great?
Like maybe it will, but man, you know what you
really are knocking out the park right now is the
Google translation?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, the language because the language barrier, like like that's
the real thing.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, and you're not really losing a job there. Meaning
the odds of me, as an American going and learning
this language or finding a teacher to teach me this language,
it's very much low. And the odds of me hiring
a translator to walk around with me is Joe blow
is extremely low.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
But me having a phone in my pocket walking be
like I want to go to this place I don't
speak the language, and making we can kind of understand
each other anyway, that's extremely hot. So like it's weird
and get I know why because they're not really about
usage about shareholders and use case things are more mundane,
but those are things that help, whereas a shareholder is
(28:58):
looking like, how can you make everyone be on AI
all the time? Jason says, man, understand, excuse me. I
understand that money is money, But I think both ESPN
and WWE are making a mistake. The people who like
wrestling don't do so because they think it's sports. Quite honestly,
WWE would never would have made more since teaming up
(29:19):
with like Bravo, it's theater, it's reality TV. I'm not
saying that as a this and so Netflix is on there,
Tony Montana. They want the world and everything in it.
Most of the people I know only listen to podcasts
that may catch a video clip on social media or YouTube.
I watch out because I don't want to miss your
lovely faces and Karen's blankets, but typically I'm audio only
as well. But at least Charlamagne got that huge misinformation bag.
(29:42):
We'll see how we're in folds.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah, we'll see how it's on folds.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Like I said, I think that this, like other projects,
is somebody came up with the idea and they was like,
let's go forward. Then I think this is a test
run and at the end of whenever the contract ends.
That will determine if they renew it, if they modified,
if they change it, if people leave. Because you know,
a lot is about profitability. How many people will actually watch.
(30:06):
You know they're gonna be watching things like that. And
on top of that, the biggest thing is they determine
how successful it is. If they want to be successful,
they will push it and pump it everywhere, and if not,
that's on them.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah. I actually think a bunch of stuff is changing
before our eyes, and being stuck in the mud is
probably gonna hurt more to help. If podcast is going video,
then this video. Yes, if people are gonna now be
watching podcasts on Netflix, then then if that turns out
(30:37):
to be the next wave in five years from now,
it's like, you don't have your podcast on Netflix? What
the fuck are you thinking? It could be true? You know,
I don't know. As far as Charlemagne and the money
and stuff, I mean, he's a big money guy, he's
a big vision guy. He's the go to guy for
a lot of white people with money that want to
(30:58):
spend it and feel like he has a ear to
the streets of what black people want. Whether it's true
or not, I mean, he's figured out how to brand
it and he is caking off of it. So yeah,
he's and it's not just him that's gonna get on this,
everyone in his network probably or a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
His networkerneath them.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It's one of the things you have to need to
get that money, while you can't particular if they're gonna
offer it for something like that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
And also I just think, honestly, he is representative of
a tent pole for black people because black people watching
shit period. It doesn't matter if you're watching it shaking
your head, doesn't matter if you're watching it not in
your head, but you watch it, and that is undeniable.
And when it comes time to dole out the money,
(31:46):
they're just looking at the analytics and it's like, well,
why wouldn't we give him the most money. He's got
the most people listening and it has that's where they
go for information, no matter how quality or not quality, sir,
so makes sense to me.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
That's complete sense.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
And WWESPN, Yeah, that is a weird thing, weird matchup,
But I honestly, man, they were just trying to bob
all the shit, like you said, they want the word
of everything in it. ESPN wants it too. It's not
just Netflix, Disney is trying to buy everything too, and
so they were like, oh ww Rice for sale, Let's
get them because I think maybe Netflix is trying to
(32:25):
get them before that. So all right, let's see comments
on of course Spotify, and then we'll look at the
poll as well on the website because we got to
do that. Two comments on Spotify, The Shady Dave says
it's not my business to call out the way that
(32:45):
a widow mors. However, I was a young widow only
at only thirty six, when my first husband passed for
complications from childhood leukemia. Our kids were five and nine
years old when he passed. I don't understand why Erica
Kirk is running around with her kids. Well, her kids
need her now out like never before. When I went
through the same thing, I held my babies close because
we were all that I had left. They were all
(33:05):
had left. I don't understand how she's moving. It's disingenious,
making raise an eyebrow dog. It's I hate to be
this patty, but it's the way that they just doing
like fireworks and rock music. It's crazy. This is crazy.
(33:26):
If this was. I can't even imagine if like MLK
got shot and then Coreta showed up and fucking Fireworks
was going off, right, what the fuck are we? What?
This is like an episode of the Boys. This is
why people think The Boys fell off. It's not that
the show fell off, It's that the source material can't
(33:47):
keep up with life.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
No, it can't. It cannot keep up with life.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
This is some ship from life, Like, this is some
ship from from life that I'm like, I'm looking at
the When I seen the video of her coming out
from Fireworks, I'm like, is this ai? Is this out
of context? Is this from a Fourth of July like
celebration with this is a different one. She's been doing
lots of.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
So she's doing the world tall.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
So it was just but it was like I saw
this video and I, honestly God had to stop for
a moment and be like, it's this real? Because I'm like,
I know the Internet knows that that my personal predilections,
based on what I stopped scrolling on, is to be
somebody that would go Erica Kirk rolled my eyes, right,
(34:34):
So maybe that's just super serving me some shit to
make me go, oh man, I hate that lady and
start sharing it. Man, I've seen that shit and was like,
oh that's real. She really they're cheering like it's a
celebration and her husband died. It's crazy even that Nikki clip.
What she start jd vance and assassin and then they
(34:56):
both laughed. Mm hmm what what?
Speaker 3 (35:01):
What is?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
This is a simulation?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
What does happened? To?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Control?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Off the lead?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yes? Please, you lost the plot? Shoe Boody says, ries
Australian accent sounds like New England trans athletic, old timmy
radio accent. It is. It's kind of a joke. I
can't do an Australian accent. Mabe la Pole. Have you
ever heard? Have you heard? All I Want for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Is You?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
By Mariah Carrey this year? Seventy four yes, twenty six
percent no, And I'm like, what rock y'all living under?
Like I feel like y'all must not have left the
house or something. It's on every commercial, every commercial. What
y'all all on the radio?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
My own list of the blackout tips is that you
only be on the internet.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Oh well, all right, let's get to the next segment,
but first commercials. All right. The last episode of the
(36:22):
week thirty two oh one, President Tariff six comments, says,
my cars come from company leasing. The board book with
all the manual is part of the deal, and they
check for it when I get a car back if
it's there. If it's not, I have to pay for it.
So obviously I keep it every time and would never
(36:43):
tow it away throw it away, even if I'm not
really using it often. B Started says, now, I never
throw out a manual for my car, but I do
YouTube almost everything for my car. I'm a visual learner.
Sean says, I have a paper bag feel with my
all my instruction manuals, so I go through it every
through the four years. Throw out the mayals for stuff
I no longer use. He also says Baker Mayfield catching
(37:06):
pancake strays, come on your Panthers already embarrassed him on
the field. I mean not as much as he embarrassed
himself over the last two months, but still, man, I
feel bad for Baker because he's playing with a fucked
up shoulder, and people just football is such a weird
sport because you can know somebody's playing hurt. I guess
all sports is like this, but like because they're playing.
(37:28):
All of a sudden, we go back to like, why
aren't you just being good at sports again? And that's
just not how bodies work. And I kind of take
that about sports analysis. But yeah, it's like Baker Mayfield.
At first, you get a little credit, like, what a
tough guy. He's not missing games. He's going out there
with a hurt shoulder. We love to see it.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Man, the football, so you need your shoulders.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
It's his non throwing shoulder. But yeah, but the point
is when he starts playing like shit again, we're like,
what the fuck's wrong with this guy? Like, we know
what's wrong with him. It shouders hurt and he shouldn't
be plan Like, unless you'all gonna sit them down. This
is the best. This is what it's gonna look like. Yes,
Sir Jamel says, I recently got got a new car,
had to get a new car for the first time
(38:10):
in a long time. The first thing I did was
over the glove box, which I've never stored or known
anyone to put gloves in. But that's a different conversation, right,
And to my surprise, there was no manual in it,
just a QR code for me to scan, which led
to the download the car app. Oh what the manual was?
So this is to say, folks, car manuals are going digital.
(38:32):
Oh man, didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
That makes sense though, Yeah, yeah, I've always had hard
car manuals.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Pus you get some old out of internet reception, you
really have, you even says I keep the manual for everything,
even applies to the things that need assembly long after
I don't need it, partly because I hate throwing stuff
away just in case. Okay, sounds like that was mostly
what people want to talk about, that car manual. Let's
check the check of the YouTube and see what you
guys had to say about that had ten comments. Oh
(39:02):
my goodness, let's see. I think Karen is right about
car manuals, although I don't think it's a n age thing.
I keep mine, But I'm definitely an outlier amongst people
I know well enough to be up in and talk
about their cars. One of my people had a recent
incident where she called me and roadside assistants to see
who would come first. They said, before the car stopped,
(39:23):
it threw a light on the dash and she never
seen it before. I'd driven her car before, so I
knew the mayor was nowhere to be found. She's a
boomer and I'm a gen exer with anxiety. People prove
every day that they are dumber than I thought the
day before.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yes, it too. It's too many, too many things go wrong,
too many lights. It's all type shit. No, I got
to know what the funk I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
At regarding connections. One day, me and Wina Loud, the
editor are gonna have to square up. I love that game,
but it'd be pissed me off sometimes anyway. Mary christ y'all,
Alicia says Karen is right on this one, the one.
The only time I've had the owner's mayor was when
I bought the car new and my latest car had
the owner's manual in the touch screen menu, not a
physical and ride. You are very responsible and not like
(40:03):
most folks, and I like how highly you think of
the rest of us. Man, I'm just shocked. Like the paper,
but I like it well, touchscreen manyals fine, I don't care,
but I just I'm shocked that it like we're all
just anecdotally going off of this, but I honest to god,
I would be shocked if people just threw away their manuals.
(40:25):
I don't know why. That just seems like a ridiculous thing.
It just seems it seems like you're going out of
your way, is what I'm saying. Like you're the car
comes with a manual in the glove box, it's normally
in a compartment that's not taking that much room. You're
actually going out of your way. You're you're being like
being lazy, would just be to keep it, so I
(40:46):
don't That's why I think I'm having a hard time,
even though y'all are you know, anecdotally saying I'm wrong,
I'm having a hard time coming to grizz with that
because I'm like, I don't think I'm wrong. I think
if we started breaking in cars today and went through
everybody's glove department, I feel like we're gonna find a
lot of manuals. That's crazy to me. You just put
the key in the ignition, open up the just put
(41:08):
the key in ignition, open up the glove box, and
then roll the window down, throw the manual out, and
just drive off. Like that's just crazy, Like you mis
Chip says, I knew the real idea was a scam.
It was it made people jump through hoops to get
in to get it, and now all they have to
do is pay a fee every time too. Uh you
(41:30):
going says, what's worse for ride going to Dinny's or
eating at Arby's. Going to Dinny's always worse than eating
at Arby's. My thing is just I don't think people
are eating at Arby's. I don't think Arby's is racist necessarily.
I mean there are races in that they give ninety
seven percent of their money that politically to the GOP,
But I don't think, you know, I don't think eating
(41:52):
there you would experience that. Hugh Goingon says President Tariff
is definitely a revealed preference. President Troll also works terrors,
controlling all about all he seemed to do. I guess
terrorism too. If you have a fishing voat in Philoe
Venezuela Latitia says, I don't pronounce the L in chalk,
and I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced. I
(42:14):
say it like walk, but with a C. Maybe it's
an L. A thing I said, walk is still pronouncing
the L because unless you say whack, you're pronouncing the L.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Walk.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Yeah, walk, chalk, it's an L y'all, y'all are saying
the L. How do you if if put it this way,
the word all has two l's in it, right when
you say all, how would you say all if you
couldn't pronounce the L, it's just be ah, So you
(42:51):
would have to be saying walk talk. And I think
people mostly say the L. Now they may be mispronouncing it. Yeah,
you know, maybe they think it sounds more like chalk
with a W. But it's an L sound in there
if you pronounce it correct this chalk not chalk. So
(43:15):
I'm saying maybe not I'm from Georgia, we say it chalk. Yeah.
That once again, that's a that's a pronunciation thing. That's
not y'all saying it's a solid L. What I'm saying is,
even if you're from Georgia and you have that pronunciation
of it, what you're doing is not saying it's a
silent L. You're just saying, I pronounce all my l's
like that. Yeah, right, Like like you you're the same
(43:35):
person that be Like like whenever whenever it came tying
to pronounce something else that had an L in it,
you'd say, you know, you say it that way too,
it's it's like a solid L in a word that
has an A in it. It's like how some people
say almond instead of almond. Almond is a silent L
(43:56):
because you're not even acknowledging that L there. That's almond. Yeah,
I got some almonds. Now, I know some people say almend.
You know, I say almond, but that's pronouncing it L.
So anyway, I don't think it's that complicated, but maybe
they That's how connections got y'all last, Shaye says, I
don't caring. They said one thing, but now it's you
(44:17):
got forty five dollars though, Yeah, for the TSA.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Right, So they made people.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
They made the States pump a lot of money that
they didn't have because a lot of it because the
biggest thing was the States. The States is like, we
gotta get new machines we got. That's what delayed and
they kept pushing it back.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
The States is like, bitch, this is expensive.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
As shit, right, Paul, you don't pronounce that L. Do
you call yourself? Paul? That's how you pronounced what we're
doing here, guys? What are we doing? What are we doing?
Come on, guys, If it wasn't pronounced that L, it
would just go straight to the K. That's how we'll
(44:56):
go check. That would be its at the chalks instead
of stalk, it would be stacked. That's a sound that's
completely silent, which yeah, which means it's not there's no
other words that don't have the L in it. That's
st a K and we say stalk. There's no other
word like that, keeping silent, meaning as if it did
(45:19):
not exist, as if it's changing nothing. What are the
words that have st a K that we pronounced all?
We don't have any. The L is the thing that
is changing the pronunciation. There, guys, it's not complicated, all right, Uh,
let me get back to this. Niggas won't be different,
(45:40):
Jason says, Man, I remember when I first heard about
Denny's racism. I want to say it was the first
time I got the racism talk. Man, your boy was heartbroken.
Denny was my spot.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
Oh no, baby, just like you know what the pancakes,
This is a racism on the side.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
In this case, I'm thankful for some racist man, because honestly,
Denny's is not good. So you getting racism getting you
to go somewhere else to eat. That's great, because Denny's
is terrible. I was a huge baseball fan and they
had their own baseball cars. Damn, damn, damn. That should
let you know baseball To any youngins who they're not
(46:19):
basketball cars in there. To any youngins who thought it
was a big deal with Starbus who came to face
some racism for a couple of months a few years ago,
that was nothing. Social media would have ended Denny's. Also,
in response to the miss feeling thing, racism can still
get your crown taken in the beauty pageant here in
the US. The difference is they would replace that crown
with a House of Representative seat. Oh no, yeah, I honestly,
(46:40):
I feel like that's where jay Z. I mean, that's
what Jael Covan is sucking up. He's doing all this
campaign and he's like, Oh, I'm gonna get in the streets.
I'm gonna represent the people. His ad came out, it
was great, It's brilliant. He's raising money, he's shaking hands,
kissing babies. Hey man, if you don't just record yourself
called some black the N word, don't do that. Okay,
(47:02):
go viral, You'll be in Congress tomorrow. I've seen it
work for others. Okay, if this don't work out, jail
plan B. I can be the black person that gets
that goes, what what'd you say to me? And next
thing you know, you're you're you're gotta go fund me
and you're you're in Congress and then maybe you can
switch up the votes once you get there. I don't
(47:23):
know the pole. Oh wait, I'm sorry. Comments on Spotify
that was farther. Wow. Okay, see what they had to say.
Rob was right to balk about chalk and connections. I
also agree with Karen and believe some drivers should just walk. Ah,
that's hilarious. That's a person that knows l's are not
(47:46):
silent in those words. Patrina says, I too, keep my manuals.
M h mucho. Mama says, I don't pronounce that L
and chalk. I never heard any pronounce it. Maybe it's
an L a thing. Please let me hear you the
word chalk and then after that, I wanted to see
you say the word. I want to hear y'all say
the word stalk and then say the word stack. If
(48:06):
they don't sound the exact same, then you are pronouncing
the L. Now you may be pronouncing it with some
sort of local dialect like DoPT locally. Yeah, Like we
have accents down here in the South, but we're not
not pronouncing the L. We just have a Southern accent there.
We say other words that are spelled without that L
(48:26):
differently than we say walk. Shady Dame says, my son
is twenty one. He's getting rid of all the males,
including car mayos, because he said everything is online. Man,
we're good luck. I hope he's right.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
Good luck.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
I feel bad for your baby, particularly if he ain't
got one of these new finger calls where you can
skin it or is in your dashboard.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Well, no, he might be right. I'm just saying good luck. Like,
my thing is not that everything's not on the internet.
I think everything is on the Internet. I just think
there's a couple of issues with it. One, things are
becoming a lot less rigid with the way that we
have parameters on Internet information. Meaning if AI Google results
(49:09):
are wrong, they're just wrong, and they don't really give
a fuck if they're wrong, no one's fact checking them.
There's no recourse to it. YouTube and all this stuff.
Once again, you gotta be in a place where you
can get the internet, so you gotta hopefully not break
down in the middle of somewhere where it's like, fuck,
I'm not getting a signal out here and shit go
(49:29):
all the time. Yeah, so you know, but I get it.
I'm not I'm not mad. I think that's the future.
I think that's that's that makes sense. It's like people
getting mad at folks who haveing digital clocks, like, I'm
not mad. That makes sense to me to just move,
Like why would you need to know the hands in
the seconds? Go ahead, let's see. Uh. But yes, she says,
(49:51):
they do put their car manuals in their house, in
the kitchen and the drawer in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
That don't do you no good if you break down
on the side of the road. Y, we should start
keeping the car manos with the car because we don't
need the Mayos on the house we needed in the car.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Yeah, yep, yeah, shady dame, that's a smart move.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Yeah, because, like you say, sometimes and it might sound minor,
but sometimes it might be something minor, like ay, something
for the windshield, they something for this, like because all
them buttons, look, they very poor car and when they flash.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
Your brain is like, what is this? What is this
What is this? Mm hmm, I know my brain does,
and like I gotta figure out what the fuck this?
Is it serious? Is it not serious?
Speaker 1 (50:30):
All I know is is red and it's looking at
me and I'm looking at it. Mm.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Shoe Booty says, car manuals stay in the car when
I gotta look up dumb stuff like what's does echo
button't even do? I gotta I got a whole binder
of the household manuals, fire appliances or whatnot, saying saying,
all right and nepol, do you keep the manual that
(50:55):
came with the car in your glove compartment? Yes? Or
I don't have a car. This is a big results here, guys,
because Karen's said they don't. I'm saying, obviously, the vast
majority of people do. We've had several people right in
to say the people don't. They don't think they do.
(51:16):
I don't know that anyone's agreeing with me except the poll.
The pole says ninety one percent of the people that
have that took this poll say yes, I keep my
manual in the same part of my in the glove
department in my car because it came with it. Only
four percent say no, and four percent don't have a car.
(51:40):
If we take out the four percent that said I
don't have a car, it's even high. It's like ninety
five percent of y'all ninety eight percent of some shits
like we keep the main I think I'm right. I'm
sorry everybody. I don't care y'all disagree. We'll never know
for sure unless I start breaking the car. But I would, honestly,
I would be stunned if people were throwing their car
(52:04):
mails out of their car just because it's more work
to get rid of it than to keep it. If
you still have the boxes your Apple products came in,
because they're a little fancy.
Speaker 3 (52:17):
I do they sit right here somewhere.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
If you still have those, you ain't a car manual
throwing out motherfucker because those things coming binders and ship
they look fancy. Y'all like to keep that, all right.
I don't think we got any voicemails, although we did
just get a new package in our regular Oh the
package is in here. Yeah, yeah, it's an Amazon box.
(52:43):
But we do have emails, and we do have snail mail,
and we did get something from Amazon. So we'll come
right back, all right, I must have left it in
(53:31):
the car. Everybody m be awkward to get it now
because how we're gonna but we're gonna do this. This
stall the show for the two minutes I need to
go out to the car. I don't know. You have
a story you want to regard them with or something
anything happening, No cares nothing to VMP.
Speaker 3 (53:54):
Okay, I could do this.
Speaker 2 (53:56):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
I got my hair done yesterday, y'all all right, mama,
Uh did my hair, y'all?
Speaker 3 (54:03):
I started using the sacred from Beyonce.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
Uh.

I told y'all I was using the drops and I
loved him so uh doing the Christmas holiday, I ordered
the blue uh, not the white one, but the blue one,

Everything smelled wonderful. I think she lies that ship with

gold pix it us. She put blue afverteers in it.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
It was like his he's a blessing the carters. Hey,
miss called hag girl.
Speaker 1 (55:04):
Hey, so I tell you I love that ship and
that ship my health feeling smooth and silky. I absolutely
love it. So that's why my you know, my my
hair's coming in. My edge just kind of slipped back
and got my hair all done. So till I am
(55:26):
somebody child, y'all, y'all ain't gonna know what to do
with me.
Speaker 3 (55:32):
Y'all gonna y'all gonna be.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
Like that's carry thamous done done, not gonna be me.
Speaker 3 (55:43):
That's my little story to tell y'all.
Speaker 2 (55:47):
Here's my thing, Karen. If you're not pronouncing the L
and chalk, what are the words that have an L
in them before it came that you are pronouncing the ln?
I wait, thank you, arrest my case. All right, let's
(56:08):
get to these emails people us A couple of emails.
Uh ev who who wrote this? Who said this? I'm
not even sure how to pronounce their name, but they
say greetings from a new fan in North Idaho.
Speaker 3 (56:28):
Okay Idaho Potatoes.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
Okay, Idaho. Heard Karen talking about the GLP with Pete
Dominic and thought you'd enjoy this. It's a quote from PJ.
O'Rourke back in the early nineties and it says, oh correction.
I added the maga to the quote, and the quote
is maga. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work,
(56:53):
then they get elected to prove it facts. And then
the other one is actually just more about our gifts.
So I'll just let me start opening up these these
uh these Christmas cards, and we'll get to the gift.
Speaker 3 (57:07):
Yeah, y'all, y'all came through. We went to the po box.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
It was so fun.
Speaker 1 (57:12):
We had to be like, hey, y'all put them out
from y'all side.
Speaker 3 (57:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
So this is the first card. It's got a Christmas
tree yay on it, and then side it says thank
you for another well it says wishing you a warm
and wonderful Christmas and a bright, happy New Year. Then
the personalized message from Leslie says, thank you for another
year of jokes, banter and thought provoking episodes. Your voices
keep us saying in our harsh light. Peace Enjoying twenty
(57:38):
twenty six, Leslie, Thank you, Leslie, we appreciate you, and
peace enjoyed to you in twenty twenty six. Okay, let's
make it. Let's make it there together and make it.

Was like, let's go get these pictures, all right, last
one and then we'll open up the package. This one is.
Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
What. I can't see nothing I know, okay.
Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
What this is just so crazy. I can't believe it's
last one. It's a Star Wars ornament of Darth Vader.
Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
It says you cannot resist, you must fulfill your holiday destiny.
Although I imagine it said you know you must not resist
like Vader. But I can't do that voice because our
voice too like and on the inside says dear Rod
and Karen, come to the merry side, sincerely, Mike, be
and Debbie. Oh, longtime listeners. The vinyl character in the
front of his car could be removed and hung for decoration. Oh,
(01:06:28):
it will be removed and it will be hung for decoration.
I'm not gonna I don't want to rip it right now.
I don't want to mess this up. But oh, this
is going on our tree. We got a tree. It's
a little baby tree, but oh yeah, it's yes Darth
Vader ornament. And the reason that I reacted that way
(01:06:50):
is man and not to make it a negative thing,
but we used to have a listener who would send
us these every year, like this ornament Star Wars ornament,
and you know, pretty cool person. It seemed. I have
no idea what happened, but something happened. They stopped fucking
with us. I don't remember what it was, but you know,
(01:07:11):
you get used to that as part of doing the podcast. Like,
it doesn't have to be personal. It could just be
in opinion you had. It could be they just got
tired of listening or whatever, you know, And I can't
remember what the what it was that made them be like,
you know, fuck y'all or whatever. It could be a
tweet or something, but they stopped listening and I was like, Hey,
that's there, right, and you just got it, Like it's
(01:07:31):
not about being angry or upset with them. You really
have to get used to that. If you want to
be in the business we're in, you need to get
used to people being able to say, like, at the
drop of the hat, I'm not fucking with y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
No more, and to be able to keep your sanity.
Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
Yeah, sometimes it's literally something you did. Sometimes it's something
they going through. It don't it don't really.
Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
MA don't matter.
Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
But I was like, man, I thought that person really
liked us, but you know whatever, they stopped fucking with us. Oh,
let's go. We're gonna miss those those ornaments. And I
remember I googled and tried to find how to get
these ornaments. I couldn't figure out how I was. I
don't know they stopped selling them or what, but I
was like, man, I miss having a Star Wars ornament
(01:08:12):
every year. That was like a really cool thing. That
that person did, and you know, I hate that they,
you know, are out like that. So that's why when
I opened I was like, oh my god, it's crazy.
Life is so crazy that one of y'all out there
was like, you know what, they were probably like these
Star Wars ornaments and we're gonna hang up on the
tree and it's absolutely going on my tree. That's so beautiful.
(01:08:34):
What a crazy coincidence.
Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Thank you, thank you, baby.
Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
And lastly, we did get something in the mail physically,
and it sounds like we got another package. Just a
couple of minutes ago. By the way, I got another email.
Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
It was like, y'all got something else.
Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
So next week we'll have something else to open, unless
we will check it later or something.
Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Y'all know they slow with the mails, so Chad, we're
gonna be be like merror. Christmas happened New Year probably
until the middle of January.
Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
But let me see the note first, because you know,
you got to give respect to the people with the note,
and it was a couple of things in here, all right.
It says holiday, Happy holidays, baby, mama, daddy, thank you
for the daily double me hits Miss crys bl Oh.
(01:09:20):
Now you know miss criscible. The last time we heard
from her, she was telling me you need to wirese
chicken with industrial sprays, and uh, it's always fun when
you can have like fans that you can have a
rapport with like that where you can make jokes with
them and it's not like, you know, gonna turn into
(01:09:41):
anything escalating. And the gifts are in a sutra sleep
mask set. Mm hmmm, sleep mask set. So you wear
it so help you go to sleep I soon, or
for sex. You know a lot of pop I hear
a lot of people like using them for sex. I'm
not saying I know those because he can't see. No. Yeah,
(01:10:01):
some people like they didn't that freaky ship. Okay, so
I guess you could use it for that. Although it's
a weighted sleep mask, it's not like one of those
sexy light sleep masks. This got some type of jail
in it.
Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
Oh shit, is like, oh you want to go to sleep?
Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Sleep? Oh man, I'm afraid to put this on. I'm like,
fucking pass out.
Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Put this on.
Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
You're gonna just pass out on this. Probably for Karen,
you can wear it too. I don't really I don't
really do sleep mask, but she got me something for sure,
because it's Russell Ruski's honey rib rub Now. I know
that's for me because you know what I like ribs. Okay,
good rub on some honey. Okay, I'm into it. So
(01:10:46):
I would definitely be honey rubbing some ribs soon, yes,
based on based on just this gift along and then
Karen will be sleeping on the couch and his mask
probably I don't know. Will thank you everybody, man, it's
been awesome. Happy holidays to y'all. We'll be back throughout
the you know, next couple of weeks. I'm sure we'll
(01:11:07):
be sporadically taking time off here and there because it's
holidays for us the same way as for y'all. But
we'll be around and we'll be planning on doing shows
and stuff. And I know some of y'all gotta work
some of these days, so you're gonna need something to
listen to.
Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
The premium people are gonna put out some premium stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Yeah, of course. So all right, y'all, until next time,
I love you, h

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
