I've never heard porkskins as a money looks like I'm

it would be ill if we got like some licensed
music of the ship, we had cash rules, like to
(00:52):
open up the ship, you know what I mean. Like
we're saying that way in our reparations and just you're
creeping at the money dollar dollar bills, y'all. But what
do you think about making Gucca things? So instead of
saying it's Gucci, just like, oh man, that's gooch um.
I mean, I'm down with it, but Gooch kind of
sounds like a sexual organ. I know it is, but
(01:15):
I'm with yo. Yeah. Why the other day, I was
like in the car and we put on there's like
some like two thousands pops type station or something like that.
But they were playing from the windows to the wall,

(02:24):
been good. So I just got back from Austin and
um so I took like a day. We drove through
the night. No, we drove through the night from New
Orleans back to Atlanta. Uh, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, and
so after working Wednesday, I just like Thursday owns down
for the cow. I was down. Yeah, I was tapped out.
(02:47):
My fucker's don't did not perceive me whatsoever. But now,
I mean house was beautiful, taous a beautiful thing. New
Orleans a beautiful thing. We didn't really see much in
New Orleans though, because that ship got literally we're way
in the show tornado touchdown across town and like killed
are you serious? Goddamn? And so we I didn't even
realize you had like a fucking hip hop flash southern
(03:10):
rock show like across town from where a tornado was
ubliterating um lives and families. So we're glad we made
at home after that ship. But yeah, tay House is
a wild place. Oh wait, did we wait? You wasn't wait.
I was gonna I was gonna ask you how how
to Texas treat you? Like? I mean always, I always
(03:31):
love Boston and got to hang out with it. That
wasn't That wasn't your first time in south By, right,
is my second? We went there before a pretty much plattaued.
I mean, that's not really anything else I canna do
after last time, come home of be like you're in
the New York Times. I was like what, I'm all
over earl alone and just crying because my ears are
ringing so loud. I can't tell us. Uh. The first time,
(03:56):
the first time I went to south By, I wasn't
even like on any sort of showcase or nothing. I
just with a friend. Yeah it was me and you
remember my my rap homey Vix. We we just rolled
up there and a torrential downpour had happened, like the
day that we got in text. I'm not I'm not
talking about like regular like yo, it rained. I mean
(04:16):
like streets were flooded type rain. Right, So so we
were like, all right, this sucks. This is like a
bad Southwest experience. But we waited for the rain to end,
and we were like, yo, we got a bag full
of CDs and some prayers, let's just go anyway. Right, So,
like we're walking the streets and slowly people start coming
back outside and ship and you know, the streets are
(04:36):
drying up, and like we're walking by this street and
somebody yells out at me like hey, yo, what's up,
And like me and Micks turned around and I'm not
wearing my glasses, I can't see ship. But Vix is like, yo,
that's already the rugged man. I'm like where He's like yeah,
he's like flagging us over. So like we started walking
over to him already the ruggy man standing outside of
(04:57):
some bar. He's wearing a bathroom for who knows what
reasons like that. But then he DAPs me up. He
DAPs me up and starts talking to me like he's
known me for fifty years, and I'm just sitting there
like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So afterwards, you know, it
was just it was just that sort of exchange. We're
walking back at my homie big just like yo, do
(05:17):
you know r A? And you didn't tell me, Like yo,
I never meant that they gave my mother in my life.
Maybe he's drunk, he might be, he might be in
de rated. I don't know. I don't know, but I
wasn't who he was thinking he was. But everybody who
saw it, I thought I was the ship. So that's
so funny. Yeah, that's that man, that's that fucking south
(05:39):
By magic. Yeah. I met this, like I'll tell you
this really, this this older white British gentleman I met
who was like real enthusiastic and excited after my show,
and I was drunk, so I was like, yeah, man, whatever,
looking at Exchange contact and I'm googled this naven. Later
he was like the he was like the chief economist
(06:01):
for Spotify until two thousand nineteen. Oh really, man, Hey
that's how that that's how that stuff happens. We're just like,
you know, you just run into it already recommended the bathroom.
Who knows? Go on? Kept Jack White playing solo in
the laundromat parking lot, which happened in my first year
(06:22):
at south By Southwest Texas. Yeah, stay as well. Oh yeah,
there's some like wild So this episode we only talked
about the news a little bit because the world is
a ghetto, and this time about some dog shit that
we happening. Yeah, y'alling pretty much. Guess what we're gonna
you know some of the things I talked about Texas
(06:45):
well with Texas Ship. So I mean, I'm sorry, Like,
so you got this, uh this from Yahoo News. A
suburban Fort Worth house runoff Republican debate. The Republicans are
debate a bill that would give women the death penalty
for abortion. Um, is that I mean it's not like
(07:09):
here like if you have an abortion, We're gonna fucking
murder you. That's that's super pro life. You didn't know.
You didn't know, that's that old Testament pro life. We're
just so pro life you might kill him, motherfucker. I
mean that's not John Brown did like all your throat
(07:34):
but in all, in all seriousness though, like do you remember,
well maybe you don't, but like I remember when Trump
was running in and he was doing an interview with
Chris Matthews, and like Chris Matthews asked him like, so
do you think that there should be punishment for women
who get abortion? And Trump was like like, yeah, let's
(07:56):
do it. Yeah, I think women there's got to be
some punishment. They have to pay, some sort of price,
something something up. He wouldn't specify what, but then it
looked like he got the talking points from like the
you know, the anti abortion lobby, but they were like, no, no,
we don't don't call that far yet, don't go that
far yet. So he walked it back and I don't know,
(08:17):
I don't know what this. You know. I think Texas,
the Texas Republicans are just feeling themselves with the fascism
ship right now, you know what I mean, They're like, Yo,
we're making gay kids illegal. Uh sucking. You can pick
on trans people, all right, Yeah, let's kill women if
they get abortions now too. I'm telling you, man, like
these motherfucker like Trump is like a week away from
(08:39):
just straight up yelling the N word at one of
these at the rally, and like what's people's reactions inter me,
We shall see, but it's coming. It's coming. It's interesting
how that like the decision you know that we have
to like finalize about whether we're going to live into
democracy or under fascism is not even all is happening
in Republican primaries. Like it's not even a real conversation
(09:02):
that Democrats are left leaning folks are part of. It's
not up. It's like not it's up to them to
decide whether that they're going to be an overtly fascist
party or just like you know, crypto fascist is kind
of generally shitty. You know, we're gonna be the party
of George Bush? Are we going to be the party
of um? I don't or whatever. I don't think that's
(09:26):
a debate. I think Trump, I mean, Trump is like
crushing every everybody in any sort of primary pole. So
he's gonna get the nomination should he choose to accept it.
And I mean they're just really being embraced. I know,
we haven't talked about the rest of Ukraine situation much,
(09:48):
but the Republicans are being super brazen in their like support,
not eat their support of like Putin, but not even
on the brow of like anything that's like policy driven,
but it like seems to be like strictly like yo,
Putin doesn't like the games, and you know what I mean,
(10:10):
and he's a strong man, so we funk with the
better better better to be that than a Democrat, you know,
like like all that sort of ship. Now again, I
hate having to give like any sort of disclaimers like yo,
I'm not really I'm not like a Democrat like that,
and I don't you know, but at the end of
the day, it's like one team or one side is
clearly clearly going in the direction that it just seems
(10:33):
like it's it's it's like it's why I'm not you know,
the story that we're going to talk about later on
that I won't spoil, but like it's why that situation
doesn't really have me like shocked or surprised or anything
like that, because like the whole entire veil of civility
in the corb has been that ship was, that show
(10:53):
was out the window years ago. Are you talking about?
What are you talking about next? I'm talking about what
the five fingers said to the motherfucking face. Okay, look,
so everybody's seen that meme. So that is for full transparency,
the meme of Will Smith's smagan Chris Rock in the
face and it's like, you know you're Chris Rock and
like Will Smith smack and you was like Monday or whatever.
(11:17):
Well I am Chris Rock right now, and just for
full transparency, Um, Will Smith, is this Delta tent edible?
I had like half an hour ago. I know what?
You know what Delta tennis? I know what Delta tennis?
Don't you remember the like all last week that ten
that I was puffing on, I didn't know what it is?
(11:40):
Really Like, I googled it and I'm gonna be fine,
but give listeners the heads up. Are you gonna get
through it? But I feel it feels like going through
that Willie Walker tunnel. We're like, okay, well, is it raining,
is it snowing? Okay, So ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna
(12:05):
we're gonna, I guess we're gonna talk about this, uh uh,
Chris Rock and Will Smith's lapping situation, because at the
end of the day, it is definitely like some TMZ
Hollywood shipped as far as I'm concerned, But just like
the discourse around it, it seems to be kind of
like a Rorschach test in a way in which a
lot of different people across the country's are seeing a
(12:27):
lot of different things and projecting a lot of personal
things onto the situation. It's going on racial lines, it's
going on ideological lines, gender line. I mean, I think
I think there's a lot to unpack and discuss there.
So we're gonna get to that. We're also gonna get
on some other stories that we have come across this week.
But before we get to that, we're going to take
(12:49):
a little break and pay some bills. All right, So
how at y'all after the job? All right? So we
are back labal Frank a dope knife waiting our reparation.
So would you you want to get into the do
you want to get into the big Willie style. First, sure,
(13:10):
I mean, like my take on this, it's mostly in
meta take um about the hot take industrial complex um,
which I tried my best, like I'm very judicious with
in the show, because ultimately, you know, the hot take
industrial complex effectively everybody trying to like get the hottest
take out there as quickly as possible to build social capital. Like, oh,
(13:32):
out of viral tweet, I got a bunch of followers
or literally in the form of like YouTube reaction videos
and you know n y t think pieces or whatever
that actually generate like material capital for people. And so like,
I just as I think about this and the way
that everyone rushes to have like the hottest take um
to get you know, capital various sorts, Just like what
would it mean for us as a society to just
(13:55):
like wait, like twenty four hours, Like if it was
like the Purge, only for twenty four hours, you weren't
allowed to have like any hot takes. Don't like what
happened the night before, Just like just go to your
room and reflect on what you saw and just come
back in twenty four hours after you've actually seriously given
it some thought and not just like what's the most
(14:17):
inflammator racing. I can say it and get people arguing
in my mentions. So that's also like watching all this
go down and everyone just saying, like you said, very
disparate like interpretation the situation. I'm just like, all y'all,
Nigga is trying to get clout, all y'all, Nigga is
trying to get a like a deal with crack dot
com or something like more insightful. Not what you're saying,
(14:37):
it's new. I mean some of this, some of these memes.
I'm sorry, some of these beams are hilarious. Ass I
just I mean, if I could just be what it
about it. But you're not wrong though you're not hot.
Take Industrial Complex that one, you know, like one excuse
that will make for it is memes. You're allowed to
(14:59):
have hot. Takee memes like jumping, like with burning the
mittens thing. That was the most glorious ever two hours
of my life. Oh you know it's like hit me,
you know, hit me? Oh yes, I was out stroking
my face as I made that sound for our listeners. Um,
but no, I mean, like memes are cool, though I
appreciate hopping on a meme way. I was having a
(15:20):
good New meme template. Well, well, I mean this ship
is like the Jordan's cry faced me but on crack
right now because heads are pumping out sup covenient gold.
But okay, so so I get your I get what
your you know, opinion of it is. But there's definitely
some aspects of it that I'm curious as to how
(15:41):
you feel, as to how you know you Luke, it's
not about having It is not a hot take. We
do not. Our show comes out once a week, so
we cannot keep it that current that we can like
do hot takes anything we say at least fifteen or
sixteen because I said it so right now, we're working
(16:04):
at the bedroom that the ship happens. I'll play along
and I'll like, what questions do you have about I
feel about it? I'll answer, but let me go. Let
me just say that I'm very smart about like four things.
That's it. That's all lolling other things I'm a dumb
ass about, and I don't have like a formed opinion
where I'm like, you know, this is one of the
(16:24):
four things about which I am smart. I shut the
funk up. I'll say, Okay, look, but I'm not the
spirit of the game I will, I will form an opinion.
But let's just this has nothing to do like imagine,
It's just you would be having this conversation like I
I will. The things that I'm wondering what your opinion
is is literally like you personally, not what you think
(16:47):
is the right thing or the what is the best strategy,
just like how you feel. Like So, for example, you
know what the situation was about Will Chris Rock said
something about g I, Jane and Jada. It could be involved,
and she's got alopecia and she was obviously upset about it.
(17:08):
So Will's Will's uh slap word assault, whatever the hell
you want to call it. That withstanding just that initial
thing of like her getting ridiculed for her hair, going
through this condition, being a woman, being in the room,
being in that moment, in that situation, How do you
feel about um or or do you have like the
(17:33):
stance of the laing stance. I have seen some people
take me like, oh, they're all rich, I don't give
a fuck. Well my stance is that So I'm getting
who thoughts are swirling, they're the cosmos. So I'm gonna listen,
listen no on what so so the abolition this to me.
I bring it back all the time because this is
the frame. This is my one of my primary political
(17:55):
frameworks is understanding accountability and the problem with accountability that
is set like uniformly across the nation. So everyone's weighing
in about what they think should happen when they think
this means who was wrong, who was right, etcetera. Whereas
I think, through an abolition is lens, you would think
(18:15):
about what does accountability and right and wrong meaning for
this community of people. So it's really not so back
to like, oh, it's none of my business. It's because
like in a world where like we deal with harm,
I think more productively and transformatively, like you know, Will
and Jada and all Tyler Perry whoever pulled up and
was like you know, you know, holding Denzel. Yes, So
(18:37):
all these people would have sat down and been like,
I let's talk this through. Like it's not even a
signing signing who was right and wrong? Just like this
is how what you did hurt me, and this is
how what you did hurt me. Y'all tap it up,
work it out. Everybody agrees to be better in the future.
Instead what we have now, it's because we are so
used to a system where like the federal government can
tell you, oh, you leaked the ship about our war crimes,
(19:01):
you are a criminal and you are going to jail
unless you know, latterly deciding what's harmful. Um. People replicate
that logic on fucking Twitter and Ship by being like, oh,
it's my opinion what happened here over a fairly benign
situation that could easily be handled by these adults of
you know, immense resources, every I could just sit down.
But you know they're celebrities. Oh everyone, you know, because
(19:23):
they celebrities, everyone thinks they should have their paint. So
I you know, oh, was what Chris Rock said, you
know wrong? You know, was Jada Pinkett Smith being too
sensitive and and taking it so seriously. It's like, that's
for them, that's for them to work out. That's not
you know, the second question about it, because that's for
them between each other to like have a dialogue of like, hey,
(19:46):
this is what you said hurt me, Like, hey, this
is why what I said I think was okay, And
I actually I see your opinion and know, you know,
I'm sorry or whatever. You know. So here's the second
question I have for you, Jen Pinkett didn't say ship
Like all we have is like a three second camera
shot of her rolling her eyes and looking uncomfortable. So
(20:07):
do you think that there's anything to Will Smith in
his actions perhaps like silencing her in a way like
I wasn't, you know, just too to flesh that out
more like I wasn't even gonna, you know, really like
get that in depth into this topic. But Kareem Abdul
Jabbar had dropped a sub stack article today where he
(20:27):
was just talking about his Oh yeah, Kareem Abdul got Substack,
he'd be dropping flames. Well, um, so he said with
a single petulant blow. He advocated violence, diminished women, insulted
the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the black community.
And I mean to an extent that that I kind
(20:52):
of understand, you know, Like I, for one, I don't care.
It's like this is not a situation where I think
motherfucker's needs to be like, oh, really concerned about like yo,
how do we look? You know what I'm saying, because
it's like, you know, other fuckers think you're every stereotype.
Before Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, so yeah, I don't.
(21:13):
I don't really know about that concern. But as far
as like perpetuating violence and kind of giving the green
light to some other ship, I know, all these fucking
Joe Rogan comedians are like piste off, Like I can't
believe you do that. What if somebody comes to me
at the show after I call it the end word,
like whatever. But I'm talking more just like interactions in life,
(21:39):
because like these things, these big cultural mote like whether
we want to accept these like celect the celebrity bullshit
as being celebrity bullshit or not. It's like what American
culture is based off. So these are like cultural moments.
These are like you know what I'm saying, like like
when these things happen, like they affect, they trickled down
in effect how people who behave and interact with each
(22:02):
other and ship like that. So I mean, yeah, I
don't know how much of a good look it is.
It's like, Yo, somebody says something you don't like, go
slap them. That's a completely different Like I don't think
that I'm making like a judgment on like Yo, this
is how Will Smith should have reacted. I'm not I'm
not telling anybody how they should have reacted or saying
(22:22):
what my opinion is about that at all? But he
reacted away and it's going to have an effect. It's
going to have effect. Really, I blame the Oscars. If
the Oscars hadn't been filming that moment, it wouldn't be
about it, It It wouldn't be a negative impact on the
way people see black people, on what children think, conflict
resolutions would like, whatever. So it's the Oscar's fault for
(22:45):
I'm buying this in the fucking you know, in the
getting rich people want to have an opinion boon. I
think Will Smith was wrong, but no, you know what,
I think it was Chris Rock himself in a bit
that he did while talking about Ojen from the nineteen
(23:07):
stand up comedy special Bigger and Blacker, And he was
like talking about o j and he had this refrain
that he keeps going to, like, so this this trick's
out here spending his money sucking this other dude, blah blah.
And now I'm not saying you should have killed him,
but I understand. And then you go on up, yeah,
you know is doing this he did this blah blah,
And then she went into that blah blah, And I'm
(23:28):
not saying he should have killed him, but I understand now.
I'm not saying Will Smith should have open palm donkey
slapped the ship out of Chris Rock. I'm not saying
that at all, but I understand. I mean just from
from a from A one plus one equals to the
sort of thing. Chris Rock even had another bit where
(23:51):
he was talking about like the line that people can
cross going like and arguments and ship with other people
and ship like. He was talking about how you know,
like women like sometimes when they're in an argument with
their boyfriend, they know their boyfriend is not gonna hit them,
so they just like go all out. And he was like,
I would never do that. I'm a man. If I
(24:13):
have been to argument with a man smaller than me,
I know that there's a place that I just don't go.
That's a Chris Rock quote. So everything's funny until it
happens to you, you know what I'm saying. And that's
how I look at that ship including a murder. Chris Rock,
I have a funk. I mean, like doing my hypothetical
murder like I had at it. Whatever, I'm not gonna
(24:35):
like enjoy it, but like, I'm not gonna tell you
not to, but like an actual murdered lady bro. Yeah yeah.
And then and then people want to like try to
frame it as like yo, but you know, it's the
comedian's job to speak truth to the powerful in YadA YadA,
and it's like, Yo, why are y'all acting like I'm
(24:57):
sixteen years old and I don't know that at one
point in time this rock made twenty billion dollars per
philm Like, get the funk out of here with this
ship that they're they're active anyway, forget it. But that's
that's that's my general thoughts of the ship. I don't
condone violence, but um, you know, don't don't don't start
(25:18):
any any and what do what do I got? So,
speaking of the oscars, um jay Z kind of stepped
in it a little bit. Clearly this didn't get fun.
But he had his you know, lavish um sorry, I
(25:39):
love it. So he had you know, he had his
big oscar party at show to Morman very famous hotel,
the very very famous hotel where a lot of movies
have been shot at, etcetera, etcetera. However, right before the
pandemic this hotel and its owner had laid up almost
all of its employees at the start of the pandemic
(26:00):
without any subverance packages, cut off their health insurance boom,
and so a bunch of these workers came forward talking
about allegations of systemic racial discrimination and not hiring or
promoting you know, people of color, particularly women with color.
Sexual was conduct all this other ship and so you're
not here. Local eleven Um, some you know lefties, some
(26:24):
left you know industry folks, uh, some union reps, etcetera
picketed outside of jay Z's Oscar party. Um. After having
asked him for like a long time before Bryan like, yo, homie, Like,
don't cross the picket line. We're mad at these bushes,
Like please, don't have your party here. You can give
a funk. Did they've taken it outside? It got a
(26:44):
little heated. I mean, you know, l I p D
rolled up, make sure all this celebody's getting okay. They
have a private security. Um, but uh it got kind
of funny. Um. Later on, apparently one person in like
a like a black escalate at one point rolled down
his window and said to the side of the pickets,
(27:05):
I sell drugs to children. So just like Moss the
notion that like, I guess that like rich people can
be held accountable at all. I don't know. I feel like,
I mean all respects, you know, all power of the workers.
But that's pretty funny. This man. It's a kind of
some know. He yelled down, I sell drugs to children.
(27:26):
I love that. Yeah, but I wonder who that was.
I will I wish we knew, I really really do.
But yo, shout out to my well, I don't know,
I mean, shout out to the Keith Stanfield fairly, he
like addressed the crowd assembled told him you know, he
expected what they were doing, although it is unclear if
he went inside the party anyway. But yeah, you know
(27:47):
he held it down a little bit. That's cool. I mean,
is that I mean to see, I gotta I have
to be I gotta get more specifics on that. Was
he like drunk you know what I mean? Like? Was
he enjoying the parties? Like what this protest is? I
was like, dude, I'm gonna with him. Hey, I'm the
guy from that famous Union movie. If I didn't say anything,
(28:10):
I'd never sell anymore movie. So let me come here,
and uh, I like good job, nice, good job. Nice.
It's back to drinking. So I got a funny one
for you. Do you want to hear? Oh? Yeah, I
(28:33):
get it right. So Madison Cawthorne, Yeah, House Representative member
from North Carolina opening the trapdoor and him falling in
from the trap door. That's full of pluck animals at
the bottom. Let me sand Man at the Apollo ship.
But he was he was getting interviewed on a podcast
(28:53):
and he started talking about how like evil and disgusting Washington,
d C. Is and how much of a swamp it is.
And I don't know if Nega was freestyling with the
lives or if he's telling the truth or what, but
he was talking about how like, yo, man, you know,
like I've had sitting members of Congress offer me coke
and invite me to orge sex orgies and stuff like that,
(29:16):
just like going He's have a Republican absen for cocaine.
But then like you know, he gets off of the
podcast and it's like, okay, man, who you know? So
apparently he's about to have like a Senator McCarthy, Like
he's actually about to have him sit down and like
(29:38):
they're about to like interrogate him as to like, yo,
who who are you having drug field orgies with? That
is on the house of represents a rookie mistake. Well
he's a he's a kid kind of. I mean, as
much as I'm a kid, tell me like whatever, but
(29:59):
he's not bro. Just keep it under wraps. I don't
even I'm not gonna pressing you about it. I'm assumed,
but don't point yourself in the situation where now and
now I gotta ask questions. I also known that, but
now you brought you brought it up, so now I'm
gonna have to ask you what well I mean, if
you're doing like I mean, if you're a politician and
(30:20):
you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, then yeah,
your orgies they got shipped to do with me. But
just and you have you eating cocktails and have that
get you asked to work. If I could trade, if
I could trade a congress where there was no insider trading,
(30:41):
for one where everyone was exclusively like win to orgies
on the weekend, like oh that's all allow, Like they
just shipped them in a bus to like the sex
pens eyes wide. If you fans congressional stock trading and
repeal Citizens United. I would I would take that drain. Yo.
(31:05):
If we can get medicare for all, y'all can go
on big bus. That's for all. I tell like a
fair trade, Bernie, Actually it happen, Let's make it happen. Yes, yes,
(31:25):
we can't. All right, I think I think Andre's needs
a few minutes. He's he's sweating a lot. Glad to
ship it back and forth from class. I don't know, Yo,
I got cotton mouth. I'm gonna go take I'm gonna
get a drink. Well, we'll be back after the jump. Whatever.
(31:53):
I mean, I got nothing else to add on the
sex orgies of me, you know, I mean you know
I'm gonna all I'm gonna say is is that, like
you know, I do not support outing people. Wouldn't They
don't feel like being out of you know what I'm saying.
(32:13):
And like there's a lot of motherfucker's that are probably
sweating right now, like damn madicine. You have to let
them know, my lergy. I don't you know it's my congress.
I mean I already know my congressmen are like hurt
harming people. Like but if there was like any like,
I guess if there's like harm going on in Congress,
(32:35):
and there's hard there's there's harm, that's one thing. But
if y'all are if y'all are all, if like I'm
just I'm just saying. I mean, I didn't think. I
thought that as with Carthur, a piece of ship to
be good with. But it's like, how you how are
you gonna snitch on the team? Man? How are you
gonna snitch on your whole tea, the whole party, the
(32:57):
whole party, everybody at the hotel room at night. You
just all of the ship. And Jeffardy, no, you know
what he's gonna he's gonna be like they walked into
Nancy Pelosi's office and there they all stood sweating, and
it looked like wet curtains tangled macaroni in a pot
(33:25):
sound it was like to Tan, It's like it's like
two different shaded tan Plato globs just entangled with each other.
It was it was Gress I managed she was cape,
but not without No. I don't know what happened to
(33:48):
be for it. I don't know if okay, so what's
the next story. Let's hop off of this one alight
to get there and I don't like it because it should.
I don't like Eric Adams, Mayor of New York, is
(34:11):
proposing to cut funding to every single department in the
New York City government except the police department. You know
when you when you said this, I can't couldn't believe this. So, yeah,
you try to defund the public school system, defaus like
homeless services, everything, everything, anything, everything. You can imagine what
(34:34):
was his did he give? What was his explanation for, um,
like a crime? There was two police officers killed. Unfortunately,
um uh, violent crimes are up, even though most other
kinds of crimes are down. Whatever. Whatever. Um, he's getting
real drummed up by like right wing like hysteria about
(34:55):
bail reform all this ship. And so it just seems like,
you know, him, being a former cop, is just trying
to like look after his people. Um, so he's a
right winger, how it's been Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, okay,
I haven't know that, but you know the shades of
right wing. You know, he's that that blue D right
(35:17):
winger apparently going to be a blue D. And then
I walked into I watched it, just Senator Schumer's office,
and there was nothing Blue blue D everywhere, smurf blue
(35:40):
blue someone pleasing cyan Yo. Anyway, I'm sorry, we're talking
about Blue D. Let's let's talk about that's long. I'm
blue du right, no Yo. I used to think that
song was by the Blue Band Group back in the day.
(36:02):
I really did. Hell No, it's like two, It's like
two different It's like two different groups of eggs. Yeah,
like I am blue dobad dobada, and the Blue Man
Group I like, like so far apart from being even
remotely the same thing that explains why they different blues.
(36:24):
I never understood the different blues and the thing. I
don't even think the Blue Men Group talked like that
to be having a song where they're singing like three verses.
I saw the Blue Man Group when I was in
LA in middle school, not to realize did they come
to your school or something? The awesome like the Colosseum
(36:46):
thing in Yeah, and then would have been let all right,
we're drifted, we're drifting. Let's read let's retarget it, let's
re target it, all right, Yeah, I mean all I
gotta say, Eric Adams is just worse than anyone could
have possibly imagined. Do you think that Andrew Yang would
(37:11):
have been better. Not that you think that Andre Yank
is good, but like, now that we know what Eric
Adams is doing, do you what do you think of Canadas? Eric?
I feel like Andrew Yang is bought and paid for
by worse even something if you can't imagine worse influences
than the police. Yeah, but like like let's poison like
(37:33):
well Water and the Yemen if it's going to make
a million dollars as I think, I think Andrew Yang
would have done like a Scooby Doo And it's like
ha ha it was a Republican I mean that's what
we're finding over and over again, right like suddenly mansions
this villain people get an office, They're like, you can't
kill me, bitch, and something's just like yeah, Joe mentioned
(37:58):
really like threw up. It was like you can't kill me.
I'll live. I'll live forever. Oh man, Yeah, man, that's funny.
So wait are we are? We had a new stories?
Always just talk about random ship? Man? You know, did
(38:19):
we did we let Will Smith in Madison Carthorne's Blue
de dominate our conversation? Is that what we just did?
We really? I'm gonna I'm gonna I always try to
think on the bright side. I'm gonna hope, not optimism.
I'm just gonna pray that. No. Oh, here's here's the
(38:42):
last story. Okay, I got the last story. I'm not
I'm not even I'm not even gonna go into any
of the any six of it. Just gonna give you
the rundown. Right. So, the January six Committee, they're investigating
Trump all that, Right, So they got the call logs
from the White House that day, right, and there's an
(39:03):
eight hour gap in Trump's communications. That's like literally the
eight hours that the storm and the Capital ship was
taking place. So so I don't know what circumstances came
through for this, but someone asked Trump about it, and
like unprompted, he was like, I've never heard of a
burner phone. I don't know what that is. What are
(39:25):
you talking about? What you do your hands pretty length?
What are you talking about? Underrest? Yeah? Okay, So what
do you think of Trump's burner phones? Cly think it's
(39:48):
this hustling. What the fucking thing he was doing the
whole time? Like, gess what I'm trying. I've been thinking
about this ship all day and it's like, yeah, okay, oh,
we we've seen video of him, like watching the ship
on video. We know he was all giddy about that ship.
So I'm just imagining this dude like in like a
(40:10):
back room somewhere, just like juggling between two different phones,
like yes, yes, alright, you guys go now all right,
that was yo, bench Burd. I'm gonna call you back
in one second, right, I got I got the oathkeepers
on the other line, right, just coordinating the whole thing, stupidly.
Make sure you're rub ship on the walls the Capitol
(40:37):
police like how's it going? Oh you pleut them inside? Oh? Man, man, alright,
like fashions open if you can't laugh sometimes, man, should
you bleak his hell out here? There's so much in
(40:59):
this episode. Alright, So the moral of this one, alright,
y'all is, uh, burner phones. Burner phones also, you know,
like sticks of stones, they break your bones, but you
(41:19):
know you might get slapped if you talk about people.
And then the other one is, um, do better vetting
at the orgies because not everybody's down for the costs.
Just a public service announcement, public health announcements to I mean,
like you know, take care yourself out there. Well. Like
(41:41):
most good things, this two must come to an end
with me linger Franca, my friend. They know what we're
about to do, dope knife, so take it out of you.
Oh no, that was that was whack ye Can you
(42:03):
can you give us a beating so that we can
wrap for real? Please? Oh yeah? What what waiting a reparations?
I should have started there, shouldn't I don't. I don't
know why I left that. Yeah yeah, yo yo, And
(42:27):
now I don't hear stuff if it bores me, I'm dope,
like the lines of Republican Noorgy. You look into my hands, yo,
there's something I'm forging. It's a microphone. When I spit,
you fucking adore me in ten seconds. Down in Texas,
they're trying to give out the death sentence. In Florida,
they're thinking Haitian is the best lesson you can't even coach.
So I'm just guessing everybody thinking they dope, but they
bench president. I've been fresh and wrapping up goofy thought
(42:49):
they was bigger with black and got smacked in the
pookie A two piece do it with true ease, and
then the show wraps, not using no loose leaf about
to catch in the nonsense of the hot Tach industrial complex.
About to pet the cat upon my armrest beet. Some
first farm names participate in massive unrest. Heint gotta have
a take my nigga. Don't say anything. It's straight my
(43:11):
nigga to think about it twenty four hours. Wait my
nigga while he dunes at it now, so let's debate
my nigga. Hey, this is dope name and you have
been listening to Waiting on Reparations. See you next week.

they don't call money that dude, They man puark skins.
I've never heard porkskins as a money looks like I'm
gonna make Gucha things, man. I wish we you know,
it would be ill if we got like some licensed
music of the ship, we had cash rules, like to
(00:52):
open up the ship, you know what I mean. Like
we're saying that way in our reparations and just you're
creeping at the money dollar dollar bills, y'all. But what
do you think about making Gucca things? So instead of
saying it's Gucci, just like, oh man, that's gooch um.
I mean, I'm down with it, but Gooch kind of
sounds like a sexual organ. I know it is, but
(01:15):
I'm with yo. Yeah. Why the other day, I was
like in the car and we put on there's like
some like two thousands pops type station or something like that.
But they were playing from the windows to the wall,
that young Young Twin ship. It's like as soon as
we turn the ship on, like it starts at oscy keats,
Like that's the first thing you hear. It's like twelve
(01:36):
o'clock in the after dude, Like, yo, you know that
sound like a good Like you know you set your
alarm in the morning seven am. Birds are singing and
you wake up. Yeah, I'm away and make that my

(02:01):
That's an easy one to do. So ladies and gentlemen,

happy Thursday. You know what I'm saying. On your commute
or your wake up or while you're drinking your coffee
or whatever. You know. Good Sometimes you gotta you gotta
get it. You gotta get it in where you get
it in. How's your weekend? My weekend has been, it's
(02:24):
been good. So I just got back from Austin and
um so I took like a day. We drove through
the night. No, we drove through the night from New
Orleans back to Atlanta. Uh, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, and
so after working Wednesday, I just like Thursday owns down
for the cow. I was down. Yeah, I was tapped out.
(02:47):
My fucker's don't did not perceive me whatsoever. But now,
I mean house was beautiful, taous a beautiful thing. New
Orleans a beautiful thing. We didn't really see much in
New Orleans though, because that ship got literally we're way
in the show tornado touchdown across town and like killed
are you serious? Goddamn? And so we I didn't even
realize you had like a fucking hip hop flash southern
(03:10):
rock show like across town from where a tornado was
ubliterating um lives and families. So we're glad we made
at home after that ship. But yeah, tay House is
a wild place. Oh wait, did we wait? You wasn't wait.
I was gonna I was gonna ask you how how
to Texas treat you? Like? I mean always, I always
(03:31):
love Boston and got to hang out with it. That
wasn't That wasn't your first time in south By, right,
is my second? We went there before a pretty much plattaued.
I mean, that's not really anything else I canna do
after last time, come home of be like you're in
the New York Times. I was like what, I'm all
over earl alone and just crying because my ears are
ringing so loud. I can't tell us. Uh. The first time,
(03:56):
the first time I went to south By, I wasn't
even like on any sort of showcase or nothing. I
just with a friend. Yeah it was me and you
remember my my rap homey Vix. We we just rolled
up there and a torrential downpour had happened, like the
day that we got in text. I'm not I'm not
talking about like regular like yo, it rained. I mean
(04:16):
like streets were flooded type rain. Right, So so we
were like, all right, this sucks. This is like a
bad Southwest experience. But we waited for the rain to end,
and we were like, yo, we got a bag full
of CDs and some prayers, let's just go anyway. Right, So,
like we're walking the streets and slowly people start coming
back outside and ship and you know, the streets are
(04:36):
drying up, and like we're walking by this street and
somebody yells out at me like hey, yo, what's up,
And like me and Micks turned around and I'm not
wearing my glasses, I can't see ship. But Vix is like, yo,
that's already the rugged man. I'm like where He's like yeah,
he's like flagging us over. So like we started walking
over to him already the ruggy man standing outside of
(04:57):
some bar. He's wearing a bathroom for who knows what
reasons like that. But then he DAPs me up. He
DAPs me up and starts talking to me like he's
known me for fifty years, and I'm just sitting there
like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So afterwards, you know, it
was just it was just that sort of exchange. We're
walking back at my homie big just like yo, do
(05:17):
you know r A? And you didn't tell me, Like yo,
I never meant that they gave my mother in my life.
Maybe he's drunk, he might be, he might be in
de rated. I don't know. I don't know, but I
wasn't who he was thinking he was. But everybody who
saw it, I thought I was the ship. So that's
so funny. Yeah, that's that man, that's that fucking south
(05:39):
By magic. Yeah. I met this, like I'll tell you
this really, this this older white British gentleman I met
who was like real enthusiastic and excited after my show,
and I was drunk, so I was like, yeah, man, whatever,
looking at Exchange contact and I'm googled this naven. Later
he was like the he was like the chief economist
(06:01):
for Spotify until two thousand nineteen. Oh really, man, Hey
that's how that that's how that stuff happens. We're just like,
you know, you just run into it already recommended the bathroom.
Who knows? Go on? Kept Jack White playing solo in
the laundromat parking lot, which happened in my first year
(06:22):
at south By Southwest Texas. Yeah, stay as well. Oh yeah,
there's some like wild So this episode we only talked
about the news a little bit because the world is
a ghetto, and this time about some dog shit that
we happening. Yeah, y'alling pretty much. Guess what we're gonna
you know some of the things I talked about Texas
(06:45):
well with Texas Ship. So I mean, I'm sorry, Like,
so you got this, uh this from Yahoo News. A
suburban Fort Worth house runoff Republican debate. The Republicans are
debate a bill that would give women the death penalty
for abortion. Um, is that I mean it's not like
(07:09):
here like if you have an abortion, We're gonna fucking
murder you. That's that's super pro life. You didn't know.
You didn't know, that's that old Testament pro life. We're
just so pro life you might kill him, motherfucker. I
mean that's not John Brown did like all your throat
(07:34):
but in all, in all seriousness though, like do you remember,
well maybe you don't, but like I remember when Trump
was running in and he was doing an interview with
Chris Matthews, and like Chris Matthews asked him like, so
do you think that there should be punishment for women
who get abortion? And Trump was like like, yeah, let's
(07:56):
do it. Yeah, I think women there's got to be
some punishment. They have to pay, some sort of price,
something something up. He wouldn't specify what, but then it
looked like he got the talking points from like the
you know, the anti abortion lobby, but they were like, no, no,
we don't don't call that far yet, don't go that
far yet. So he walked it back and I don't know,
(08:17):
I don't know what this. You know. I think Texas,
the Texas Republicans are just feeling themselves with the fascism
ship right now, you know what I mean, They're like, Yo,
we're making gay kids illegal. Uh sucking. You can pick
on trans people, all right, Yeah, let's kill women if
they get abortions now too. I'm telling you, man, like
these motherfucker like Trump is like a week away from
(08:39):
just straight up yelling the N word at one of
these at the rally, and like what's people's reactions inter me,
We shall see, but it's coming. It's coming. It's interesting
how that like the decision you know that we have
to like finalize about whether we're going to live into
democracy or under fascism is not even all is happening
in Republican primaries. Like it's not even a real conversation
(09:02):
that Democrats are left leaning folks are part of. It's
not up. It's like not it's up to them to
decide whether that they're going to be an overtly fascist
party or just like you know, crypto fascist is kind
of generally shitty. You know, we're gonna be the party
of George Bush? Are we going to be the party
of um? I don't or whatever. I don't think that's
(09:26):
a debate. I think Trump, I mean, Trump is like
crushing every everybody in any sort of primary pole. So
he's gonna get the nomination should he choose to accept it.
And I mean they're just really being embraced. I know,
we haven't talked about the rest of Ukraine situation much,
(09:48):
but the Republicans are being super brazen in their like support,
not eat their support of like Putin, but not even
on the brow of like anything that's like policy driven,
but it like seems to be like strictly like yo,
Putin doesn't like the games, and you know what I mean,
(10:10):
and he's a strong man, so we funk with the
better better better to be that than a Democrat, you know,
like like all that sort of ship. Now again, I
hate having to give like any sort of disclaimers like yo,
I'm not really I'm not like a Democrat like that,
and I don't you know, but at the end of
the day, it's like one team or one side is
clearly clearly going in the direction that it just seems
(10:33):
like it's it's it's like it's why I'm not you know,
the story that we're going to talk about later on
that I won't spoil, but like it's why that situation
doesn't really have me like shocked or surprised or anything
like that, because like the whole entire veil of civility
in the corb has been that ship was, that show
(10:53):
was out the window years ago. Are you talking about?
What are you talking about next? I'm talking about what
the five fingers said to the motherfucking face. Okay, look,
so everybody's seen that meme. So that is for full transparency,
the meme of Will Smith's smagan Chris Rock in the
face and it's like, you know you're Chris Rock and
like Will Smith smack and you was like Monday or whatever.
(11:17):
Well I am Chris Rock right now, and just for
full transparency, Um, Will Smith, is this Delta tent edible?
I had like half an hour ago. I know what?
You know what Delta tennis? I know what Delta tennis?
Don't you remember the like all last week that ten
that I was puffing on, I didn't know what it is?
(11:40):
Really Like, I googled it and I'm gonna be fine,
but give listeners the heads up. Are you gonna get
through it? But I feel it feels like going through
that Willie Walker tunnel. We're like, okay, well, is it raining,
is it snowing? Okay, So ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna
(12:05):
we're gonna, I guess we're gonna talk about this, uh uh,
Chris Rock and Will Smith's lapping situation, because at the
end of the day, it is definitely like some TMZ
Hollywood shipped as far as I'm concerned, But just like
the discourse around it, it seems to be kind of
like a Rorschach test in a way in which a
lot of different people across the country's are seeing a
(12:27):
lot of different things and projecting a lot of personal
things onto the situation. It's going on racial lines, it's
going on ideological lines, gender line. I mean, I think
I think there's a lot to unpack and discuss there.
So we're gonna get to that. We're also gonna get
on some other stories that we have come across this week.
But before we get to that, we're going to take
(12:49):
a little break and pay some bills. All right, So
how at y'all after the job? All right? So we
are back labal Frank a dope knife waiting our reparation.
So would you you want to get into the do
you want to get into the big Willie style. First, sure,
(13:10):
I mean, like my take on this, it's mostly in
meta take um about the hot take industrial complex um,
which I tried my best, like I'm very judicious with
in the show, because ultimately, you know, the hot take
industrial complex effectively everybody trying to like get the hottest
take out there as quickly as possible to build social capital. Like, oh,
(13:32):
out of viral tweet, I got a bunch of followers
or literally in the form of like YouTube reaction videos
and you know n y t think pieces or whatever
that actually generate like material capital for people. And so like,
I just as I think about this and the way
that everyone rushes to have like the hottest take um
to get you know, capital various sorts, Just like what
would it mean for us as a society to just
(13:55):
like wait, like twenty four hours, Like if it was
like the Purge, only for twenty four hours, you weren't
allowed to have like any hot takes. Don't like what
happened the night before, Just like just go to your
room and reflect on what you saw and just come
back in twenty four hours after you've actually seriously given
it some thought and not just like what's the most
(14:17):
inflammator racing. I can say it and get people arguing
in my mentions. So that's also like watching all this
go down and everyone just saying, like you said, very
disparate like interpretation the situation. I'm just like, all y'all,
Nigga is trying to get clout, all y'all, Nigga is
trying to get a like a deal with crack dot
com or something like more insightful. Not what you're saying,
(14:37):
it's new. I mean some of this, some of these memes.
I'm sorry, some of these beams are hilarious. Ass I
just I mean, if I could just be what it
about it. But you're not wrong though you're not hot.
Take Industrial Complex that one, you know, like one excuse
that will make for it is memes. You're allowed to
(14:59):
have hot. Takee memes like jumping, like with burning the
mittens thing. That was the most glorious ever two hours
of my life. Oh you know it's like hit me,
you know, hit me? Oh yes, I was out stroking
my face as I made that sound for our listeners. Um,
but no, I mean, like memes are cool, though I
appreciate hopping on a meme way. I was having a
(15:20):
good New meme template. Well, well, I mean this ship
is like the Jordan's cry faced me but on crack
right now because heads are pumping out sup covenient gold.
But okay, so so I get your I get what
your you know, opinion of it is. But there's definitely
some aspects of it that I'm curious as to how
(15:41):
you feel, as to how you know you Luke, it's
not about having It is not a hot take. We
do not. Our show comes out once a week, so
we cannot keep it that current that we can like
do hot takes anything we say at least fifteen or
sixteen because I said it so right now, we're working
(16:04):
at the bedroom that the ship happens. I'll play along
and I'll like, what questions do you have about I
feel about it? I'll answer, but let me go. Let
me just say that I'm very smart about like four things.
That's it. That's all lolling other things I'm a dumb
ass about, and I don't have like a formed opinion
where I'm like, you know, this is one of the
(16:24):
four things about which I am smart. I shut the
funk up. I'll say, Okay, look, but I'm not the
spirit of the game I will, I will form an opinion.
But let's just this has nothing to do like imagine,
It's just you would be having this conversation like I
I will. The things that I'm wondering what your opinion
is is literally like you personally, not what you think
(16:47):
is the right thing or the what is the best strategy,
just like how you feel. Like So, for example, you
know what the situation was about Will Chris Rock said
something about g I, Jane and Jada. It could be involved,
and she's got alopecia and she was obviously upset about it.
(17:08):
So Will's Will's uh slap word assault, whatever the hell
you want to call it. That withstanding just that initial
thing of like her getting ridiculed for her hair, going
through this condition, being a woman, being in the room,
being in that moment, in that situation, How do you
feel about um or or do you have like the
(17:33):
stance of the laing stance. I have seen some people
take me like, oh, they're all rich, I don't give
a fuck. Well my stance is that So I'm getting
who thoughts are swirling, they're the cosmos. So I'm gonna listen,
listen no on what so so the abolition this to me.
I bring it back all the time because this is
the frame. This is my one of my primary political
(17:55):
frameworks is understanding accountability and the problem with accountability that
is set like uniformly across the nation. So everyone's weighing
in about what they think should happen when they think
this means who was wrong, who was right, etcetera. Whereas
I think, through an abolition is lens, you would think
(18:15):
about what does accountability and right and wrong meaning for
this community of people. So it's really not so back
to like, oh, it's none of my business. It's because
like in a world where like we deal with harm,
I think more productively and transformatively, like you know, Will
and Jada and all Tyler Perry whoever pulled up and
was like you know, you know, holding Denzel. Yes, So
(18:37):
all these people would have sat down and been like,
I let's talk this through. Like it's not even a
signing signing who was right and wrong? Just like this
is how what you did hurt me, and this is
how what you did hurt me. Y'all tap it up,
work it out. Everybody agrees to be better in the future.
Instead what we have now, it's because we are so
used to a system where like the federal government can
tell you, oh, you leaked the ship about our war crimes,
(19:01):
you are a criminal and you are going to jail
unless you know, latterly deciding what's harmful. Um. People replicate
that logic on fucking Twitter and Ship by being like, oh,
it's my opinion what happened here over a fairly benign
situation that could easily be handled by these adults of
you know, immense resources, every I could just sit down.
But you know they're celebrities. Oh everyone, you know, because
(19:23):
they celebrities, everyone thinks they should have their paint. So
I you know, oh, was what Chris Rock said, you
know wrong? You know, was Jada Pinkett Smith being too
sensitive and and taking it so seriously. It's like, that's
for them, that's for them to work out. That's not
you know, the second question about it, because that's for
them between each other to like have a dialogue of like, hey,
(19:46):
this is what you said hurt me, Like, hey, this
is why what I said I think was okay, And
I actually I see your opinion and know, you know,
I'm sorry or whatever. You know. So here's the second
question I have for you, Jen Pinkett didn't say ship
Like all we have is like a three second camera
shot of her rolling her eyes and looking uncomfortable. So
(20:07):
do you think that there's anything to Will Smith in
his actions perhaps like silencing her in a way like
I wasn't, you know, just too to flesh that out
more like I wasn't even gonna, you know, really like
get that in depth into this topic. But Kareem Abdul
Jabbar had dropped a sub stack article today where he
(20:27):
was just talking about his Oh yeah, Kareem Abdul got Substack,
he'd be dropping flames. Well, um, so he said with
a single petulant blow. He advocated violence, diminished women, insulted
the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the black community.
And I mean to an extent that that I kind
(20:52):
of understand, you know, Like I, for one, I don't care.
It's like this is not a situation where I think
motherfucker's needs to be like, oh, really concerned about like yo,
how do we look? You know what I'm saying, because
it's like, you know, other fuckers think you're every stereotype.
Before Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, so yeah, I don't.
(21:13):
I don't really know about that concern. But as far
as like perpetuating violence and kind of giving the green
light to some other ship, I know, all these fucking
Joe Rogan comedians are like piste off, Like I can't
believe you do that. What if somebody comes to me
at the show after I call it the end word,
like whatever. But I'm talking more just like interactions in life,
(21:39):
because like these things, these big cultural mote like whether
we want to accept these like celect the celebrity bullshit
as being celebrity bullshit or not. It's like what American
culture is based off. So these are like cultural moments.
These are like you know what I'm saying, like like
when these things happen, like they affect, they trickled down
in effect how people who behave and interact with each
(22:02):
other and ship like that. So I mean, yeah, I
don't know how much of a good look it is.
It's like, Yo, somebody says something you don't like, go
slap them. That's a completely different Like I don't think
that I'm making like a judgment on like Yo, this
is how Will Smith should have reacted. I'm not I'm
not telling anybody how they should have reacted or saying
(22:22):
what my opinion is about that at all? But he
reacted away and it's going to have an effect. It's
going to have effect. Really, I blame the Oscars. If
the Oscars hadn't been filming that moment, it wouldn't be
about it, It It wouldn't be a negative impact on the
way people see black people, on what children think, conflict
resolutions would like, whatever. So it's the Oscar's fault for
(22:45):
I'm buying this in the fucking you know, in the
getting rich people want to have an opinion boon. I
think Will Smith was wrong, but no, you know what,
I think it was Chris Rock himself in a bit
that he did while talking about Ojen from the nineteen
(23:07):
stand up comedy special Bigger and Blacker, And he was
like talking about o j and he had this refrain
that he keeps going to, like, so this this trick's
out here spending his money sucking this other dude, blah blah.
And now I'm not saying you should have killed him,
but I understand. And then you go on up, yeah,
you know is doing this he did this blah blah,
And then she went into that blah blah, And I'm
(23:28):
not saying he should have killed him, but I understand now.
I'm not saying Will Smith should have open palm donkey
slapped the ship out of Chris Rock. I'm not saying
that at all, but I understand. I mean just from
from a from A one plus one equals to the
sort of thing. Chris Rock even had another bit where
(23:51):
he was talking about like the line that people can
cross going like and arguments and ship with other people
and ship like. He was talking about how you know,
like women like sometimes when they're in an argument with
their boyfriend, they know their boyfriend is not gonna hit them,
so they just like go all out. And he was like,
I would never do that. I'm a man. If I
(24:13):
have been to argument with a man smaller than me,
I know that there's a place that I just don't go.
That's a Chris Rock quote. So everything's funny until it
happens to you, you know what I'm saying. And that's
how I look at that ship including a murder. Chris Rock,
I have a funk. I mean, like doing my hypothetical
murder like I had at it. Whatever, I'm not gonna
(24:35):
like enjoy it, but like, I'm not gonna tell you
not to, but like an actual murdered lady bro. Yeah yeah.
And then and then people want to like try to
frame it as like yo, but you know, it's the
comedian's job to speak truth to the powerful in YadA YadA,
and it's like, Yo, why are y'all acting like I'm
(24:57):
sixteen years old and I don't know that at one
point in time this rock made twenty billion dollars per
philm Like, get the funk out of here with this
ship that they're they're active anyway, forget it. But that's
that's that's my general thoughts of the ship. I don't
condone violence, but um, you know, don't don't don't start
(25:18):
any any and what do what do I got? So,
speaking of the oscars, um jay Z kind of stepped
in it a little bit. Clearly this didn't get fun.
But he had his you know, lavish um sorry, I
(25:39):
love it. So he had you know, he had his
big oscar party at show to Morman very famous hotel,
the very very famous hotel where a lot of movies
have been shot at, etcetera, etcetera. However, right before the
pandemic this hotel and its owner had laid up almost
all of its employees at the start of the pandemic
(26:00):
without any subverance packages, cut off their health insurance boom,
and so a bunch of these workers came forward talking
about allegations of systemic racial discrimination and not hiring or
promoting you know, people of color, particularly women with color.
Sexual was conduct all this other ship and so you're
not here. Local eleven Um, some you know lefties, some
(26:24):
left you know industry folks, uh, some union reps, etcetera
picketed outside of jay Z's Oscar party. Um. After having
asked him for like a long time before Bryan like, yo, homie, Like,
don't cross the picket line. We're mad at these bushes,
Like please, don't have your party here. You can give
a funk. Did they've taken it outside? It got a
(26:44):
little heated. I mean, you know, l I p D
rolled up, make sure all this celebody's getting okay. They
have a private security. Um, but uh it got kind
of funny. Um. Later on, apparently one person in like
a like a black escalate at one point rolled down
his window and said to the side of the pickets,
(27:05):
I sell drugs to children. So just like Moss the
notion that like, I guess that like rich people can
be held accountable at all. I don't know. I feel like,
I mean all respects, you know, all power of the workers.
But that's pretty funny. This man. It's a kind of
some know. He yelled down, I sell drugs to children.
(27:26):
I love that. Yeah, but I wonder who that was.
I will I wish we knew, I really really do.
But yo, shout out to my well, I don't know,
I mean, shout out to the Keith Stanfield fairly, he
like addressed the crowd assembled told him you know, he
expected what they were doing, although it is unclear if
he went inside the party anyway. But yeah, you know
(27:47):
he held it down a little bit. That's cool. I mean,
is that I mean to see, I gotta I have
to be I gotta get more specifics on that. Was
he like drunk you know what I mean? Like? Was
he enjoying the parties? Like what this protest is? I
was like, dude, I'm gonna with him. Hey, I'm the
guy from that famous Union movie. If I didn't say anything,
(28:10):
I'd never sell anymore movie. So let me come here,
and uh, I like good job, nice, good job. Nice.
It's back to drinking. So I got a funny one
for you. Do you want to hear? Oh? Yeah, I
(28:33):
get it right. So Madison Cawthorne, Yeah, House Representative member
from North Carolina opening the trapdoor and him falling in
from the trap door. That's full of pluck animals at
the bottom. Let me sand Man at the Apollo ship.
But he was he was getting interviewed on a podcast
(28:53):
and he started talking about how like evil and disgusting Washington,
d C. Is and how much of a swamp it is.
And I don't know if Nega was freestyling with the
lives or if he's telling the truth or what, but
he was talking about how like, yo, man, you know,
like I've had sitting members of Congress offer me coke
and invite me to orge sex orgies and stuff like that,
(29:16):
just like going He's have a Republican absen for cocaine.
But then like you know, he gets off of the
podcast and it's like, okay, man, who you know? So
apparently he's about to have like a Senator McCarthy, Like
he's actually about to have him sit down and like
(29:38):
they're about to like interrogate him as to like, yo,
who who are you having drug field orgies with? That
is on the house of represents a rookie mistake. Well
he's a he's a kid kind of. I mean, as
much as I'm a kid, tell me like whatever, but
(29:59):
he's not bro. Just keep it under wraps. I don't
even I'm not gonna pressing you about it. I'm assumed,
but don't point yourself in the situation where now and
now I gotta ask questions. I also known that, but
now you brought you brought it up, so now I'm
gonna have to ask you what well I mean, if
you're doing like I mean, if you're a politician and
(30:20):
you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, then yeah,
your orgies they got shipped to do with me. But
just and you have you eating cocktails and have that
get you asked to work. If I could trade, if
I could trade a congress where there was no insider trading,
(30:41):
for one where everyone was exclusively like win to orgies
on the weekend, like oh that's all allow, Like they
just shipped them in a bus to like the sex
pens eyes wide. If you fans congressional stock trading and
repeal Citizens United. I would I would take that drain. Yo.
(31:05):
If we can get medicare for all, y'all can go
on big bus. That's for all. I tell like a
fair trade, Bernie, Actually it happen, Let's make it happen. Yes, yes,
(31:25):
we can't. All right, I think I think Andre's needs
a few minutes. He's he's sweating a lot. Glad to
ship it back and forth from class. I don't know, Yo,
I got cotton mouth. I'm gonna go take I'm gonna
get a drink. Well, we'll be back after the jump. Whatever.
(31:53):
I mean, I got nothing else to add on the
sex orgies of me, you know, I mean you know
I'm gonna all I'm gonna say is is that, like
you know, I do not support outing people. Wouldn't They
don't feel like being out of you know what I'm saying.
(32:13):
And like there's a lot of motherfucker's that are probably
sweating right now, like damn madicine. You have to let
them know, my lergy. I don't you know it's my congress.
I mean I already know my congressmen are like hurt
harming people. Like but if there was like any like,
I guess if there's like harm going on in Congress,
(32:35):
and there's hard there's there's harm, that's one thing. But
if y'all are if y'all are all, if like I'm
just I'm just saying. I mean, I didn't think. I
thought that as with Carthur, a piece of ship to
be good with. But it's like, how you how are
you gonna snitch on the team? Man? How are you
gonna snitch on your whole tea, the whole party, the
(32:57):
whole party, everybody at the hotel room at night. You
just all of the ship. And Jeffardy, no, you know
what he's gonna he's gonna be like they walked into
Nancy Pelosi's office and there they all stood sweating, and
it looked like wet curtains tangled macaroni in a pot
(33:25):
sound it was like to Tan, It's like it's like
two different shaded tan Plato globs just entangled with each other.
It was it was Gress I managed she was cape,
but not without No. I don't know what happened to
(33:48):
be for it. I don't know if okay, so what's
the next story. Let's hop off of this one alight
to get there and I don't like it because it should.
I don't like Eric Adams, Mayor of New York, is
(34:11):
proposing to cut funding to every single department in the
New York City government except the police department. You know
when you when you said this, I can't couldn't believe this. So, yeah,
you try to defund the public school system, defaus like
homeless services, everything, everything, anything, everything. You can imagine what
(34:34):
was his did he give? What was his explanation for, um,
like a crime? There was two police officers killed. Unfortunately,
um uh, violent crimes are up, even though most other
kinds of crimes are down. Whatever. Whatever. Um, he's getting
real drummed up by like right wing like hysteria about
(34:55):
bail reform all this ship. And so it just seems like,
you know, him, being a former cop, is just trying
to like look after his people. Um, so he's a
right winger, how it's been Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, okay,
I haven't know that, but you know the shades of
right wing. You know, he's that that blue D right
(35:17):
winger apparently going to be a blue D. And then
I walked into I watched it, just Senator Schumer's office,
and there was nothing Blue blue D everywhere, smurf blue
(35:40):
blue someone pleasing cyan Yo. Anyway, I'm sorry, we're talking
about Blue D. Let's let's talk about that's long. I'm
blue du right, no Yo. I used to think that
song was by the Blue Band Group back in the day.
(36:02):
I really did. Hell No, it's like two, It's like
two different It's like two different groups of eggs. Yeah,
like I am blue dobad dobada, and the Blue Man
Group I like, like so far apart from being even
remotely the same thing that explains why they different blues.
(36:24):
I never understood the different blues and the thing. I
don't even think the Blue Men Group talked like that
to be having a song where they're singing like three verses.
I saw the Blue Man Group when I was in
LA in middle school, not to realize did they come
to your school or something? The awesome like the Colosseum
(36:46):
thing in Yeah, and then would have been let all right,
we're drifted, we're drifting. Let's read let's retarget it, let's
re target it, all right, Yeah, I mean all I
gotta say, Eric Adams is just worse than anyone could
have possibly imagined. Do you think that Andrew Yang would
(37:11):
have been better. Not that you think that Andre Yank
is good, but like, now that we know what Eric
Adams is doing, do you what do you think of Canadas? Eric?
I feel like Andrew Yang is bought and paid for
by worse even something if you can't imagine worse influences
than the police. Yeah, but like like let's poison like
(37:33):
well Water and the Yemen if it's going to make
a million dollars as I think, I think Andrew Yang
would have done like a Scooby Doo And it's like
ha ha it was a Republican I mean that's what
we're finding over and over again, right like suddenly mansions
this villain people get an office, They're like, you can't
kill me, bitch, and something's just like yeah, Joe mentioned
(37:58):
really like threw up. It was like you can't kill me.
I'll live. I'll live forever. Oh man, Yeah, man, that's funny.
So wait are we are? We had a new stories?
Always just talk about random ship? Man? You know, did
(38:19):
we did we let Will Smith in Madison Carthorne's Blue
de dominate our conversation? Is that what we just did?
We really? I'm gonna I'm gonna I always try to
think on the bright side. I'm gonna hope, not optimism.
I'm just gonna pray that. No. Oh, here's here's the
(38:42):
last story. Okay, I got the last story. I'm not
I'm not even I'm not even gonna go into any
of the any six of it. Just gonna give you
the rundown. Right. So, the January six Committee, they're investigating
Trump all that, Right, So they got the call logs
from the White House that day, right, and there's an
(39:03):
eight hour gap in Trump's communications. That's like literally the
eight hours that the storm and the Capital ship was
taking place. So so I don't know what circumstances came
through for this, but someone asked Trump about it, and
like unprompted, he was like, I've never heard of a
burner phone. I don't know what that is. What are
(39:25):
you talking about? What you do your hands pretty length?
What are you talking about? Underrest? Yeah? Okay, So what
do you think of Trump's burner phones? Cly think it's
(39:48):
this hustling. What the fucking thing he was doing the
whole time? Like, gess what I'm trying. I've been thinking
about this ship all day and it's like, yeah, okay, oh,
we we've seen video of him, like watching the ship
on video. We know he was all giddy about that ship.
So I'm just imagining this dude like in like a
(40:10):
back room somewhere, just like juggling between two different phones,
like yes, yes, alright, you guys go now all right,
that was yo, bench Burd. I'm gonna call you back
in one second, right, I got I got the oathkeepers
on the other line, right, just coordinating the whole thing, stupidly.
Make sure you're rub ship on the walls the Capitol
(40:37):
police like how's it going? Oh you pleut them inside? Oh? Man, man, alright,
like fashions open if you can't laugh sometimes, man, should
you bleak his hell out here? There's so much in
(40:59):
this episode. Alright, So the moral of this one, alright,
y'all is, uh, burner phones. Burner phones also, you know,
like sticks of stones, they break your bones, but you
(41:19):
know you might get slapped if you talk about people.
And then the other one is, um, do better vetting
at the orgies because not everybody's down for the costs.
Just a public service announcement, public health announcements to I mean,
like you know, take care yourself out there. Well. Like
(41:41):
most good things, this two must come to an end
with me linger Franca, my friend. They know what we're
about to do, dope knife, so take it out of you.
Oh no, that was that was whack ye Can you
(42:03):
can you give us a beating so that we can
wrap for real? Please? Oh yeah? What what waiting a reparations?
I should have started there, shouldn't I don't. I don't
know why I left that. Yeah yeah, yo yo, And
(42:27):
now I don't hear stuff if it bores me, I'm dope,
like the lines of Republican Noorgy. You look into my hands, yo,
there's something I'm forging. It's a microphone. When I spit,
you fucking adore me in ten seconds. Down in Texas,
they're trying to give out the death sentence. In Florida,
they're thinking Haitian is the best lesson you can't even coach.
So I'm just guessing everybody thinking they dope, but they
bench president. I've been fresh and wrapping up goofy thought
(42:49):
they was bigger with black and got smacked in the
pookie A two piece do it with true ease, and
then the show wraps, not using no loose leaf about
to catch in the nonsense of the hot Tach industrial complex.
About to pet the cat upon my armrest beet. Some
first farm names participate in massive unrest. Heint gotta have
a take my nigga. Don't say anything. It's straight my
(43:11):
nigga to think about it twenty four hours. Wait my
nigga while he dunes at it now, so let's debate
