(00:00):
Or threats. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
another episode of It's Not Not About You podcast with myself,
Jamal Harrington, and with me, as always, Marianne Riley and
her hubby Romeo Nash question aninteresting question.

(00:25):
What do you think is the strangest thing you've ever when
you're traveling, especially in the air that you've taken with
you from point A to point B? What's the strangest thing that
the TSA, whenever they pull you aside or pull your luggage aside

(00:45):
and they're like, we got to lookinto this and see what's wet.
And then they saw something or you were embarrassed about what
was the the item. Have you guys ever been into a
situation where they found something where you're just
like, oh shit, forgot I packed that in there or I wasn't
expecting you to search my stuffand bam, here we are.

(01:08):
So, and usually everybody has a story about, you know, the, the
one thing that they're like, yeah, they, they found this and
I, I couldn't, I couldn't bring it with me or what have you.
I can say the the one thing thatI was thankful they never

(01:31):
customs never found because theywould have confiscated it.
OK. As when I came home the last
time I came home from Ireland and I'd been to see the family
and I wanted to make a traditional Irish fry when I got

(01:53):
home for my kids. And that's what it's called an
Irish fry fry Foy. So an Irish fry is like
breakfast. It's just a, it's a breakfast
and it consists of, traditionally it consists of
things like Brom bread rashers, which is a, it's basically like

(02:23):
Canadian bacon rashers. Is is is like a ham, slices of
ham and a white pudding, which is a sausage with like a rice
mixed into it like a meal. It's I I did not do black

(02:44):
pudding 'cause that's disgusting.
It's made with blood. Why black Oh.
OK, never mind. Yeah, I don't touch black
pudding and it's made with bloodand then sausage.
And they have these amazing sausages that are just, I've not
been able to find them anywhere around here.
And they're just delicious. And so the the time before that

(03:05):
when I'd gone back home to see the family, I woke up in the
middle of the night when I came home and I'm like, I need an
Irish fry. I need my breakfast.
And so I decided that when I came back this time, I wanted to
make an Irish fry for the family.
So the flight, the travel was 18hours.

(03:26):
So in order for me to make sure that my meat was going to make
it OK, I put it in the freezer the night before because I was
staying at my, my cousin's house.
And I froze it and I slipped it into my suitcase.
And I didn't just put it anywhere in the suitcase.
I had one of those suitcases that had like a just a outer

(03:48):
zipper pocket on it. And it was, it was like a really
thin kind of suitcase. So when they busted me in
customs, they, they asked me, they said, do you have any food
in your suitcase and your luggage?
And I said, do you mean like candy and stuff?
Cause and they're like, yes. And so they unzipped my, they

(04:12):
felt the cop, and then they unzipped it, and as they flung
it open, it thunked on the counter.
And I'm. Stressing I'm sweating balls at
this point 'cause I just knew they were going to take my my
Irish fry and they looked through my luggage and they saw
I had some licorice and they said OK, you're good to go.
And I was like, I was stressing so bad that they were going to

(04:34):
take it. I thought she was going to say
something like a vibrator, but no.
It's my Irish guy, I. Think everybody, well, most
women, you know, I mean, it's like, I always assume that it's
that. That's what I thought she was
going to say. But I'm like the Irish prime.
I'm like, oh, that's interestingbecause it's almost close to
this situation here in which in Detroit, Oh my God, this is too

(05:02):
funny for me. Even in Detroit, the
Metropolitan Airport had confiscated 11 lbs of rodent
meat and 52 lbs of primate meat from a traveler coming from
Central Africa and Western Africa.

(05:27):
Yeah, I know, right? That's.
Were they going to eat it? Of course, primate meat.
Yeah, primate meat. Oh my God they they they
smuggled the same shit as me only my stuff was sausage and
and bam. These rats and monkeys.
First stuff is was like pretty much traditional foods, you know

(05:48):
what I mean? So in Detroit, and this wasn't
two travel bags. This person had separated their
meats before getting on a plane and it's, it's called Bush meat,
which is a delicacy in Africa. But the reason why it's banned
here in in the US is because of there's a chance that it can

(06:11):
carry diseases. So, and sometimes, based on my
research, it's eaten raw. So.
That's it. I know it's even.
Like my brains. Yes.
It's, it was just, they didn't tell us like what part of it

(06:31):
wasn't brains because that's notwhat I read in the in the
report. But it was just monk.
It was primate meat. So that could be like a baboon.
I don't know if they're eating silverbacks or but but 52 lbs of
this stuff to me is a lot. It is a.

(06:52):
Tremendous amount. That is, I mean, and that is a
lot of meat just to just, to like just to eat.
And the person that had brought the, the, the rodent meeting
specialty had brought it from West Africa.
So I mean, it's like, so they can't.

(07:12):
So of course it's illegal to bring that into the States.
And the person that had brought it in was fined $300.
Which? It's kind of not bad for
attempting to smuggle meat outside of the country,
especially non traditional meatssuch as, you know, rat again,

(07:36):
rodent meat. Now I thought when I hear like
something like that, I thought it was like a capybara, which is
the largest rodent on the planet.
But I know in America it's a delicacy.
People eat that down there. So that's what I thought.
But they don't have capybara's in West Africa.
They're not they, they're not indigenous to that area.

(07:59):
So I'm just like imagining, oh wow.
Like they're the only rodent I can think of is like rats, you
know, I mean, unless they have like, I mean.
There's there's other. Kind of of of rodents that that
could be, you know, oh, factoredin like don't we consider

(08:23):
possums and raccoons a type of rodent?
I mean. Well, muskrat possums.
Yeah. Possums are marsupials.
Yeah, a muskrat. That's that's freaking huge.
A what? Muskrat.
Oh, a muskrat. Yeah.
Like, I mean, yeah, a muskrat. Like, I mean, even like raccoons

(08:47):
are considered rodents. They're in the rogue species
along with I mean, it's weird because it's like you got the
the trash pandas and you got Bunny rabbits that people can,
you know, and they kind of and they kind of seem like they're
on the opposite end of the spectrum. 1 you can keep in your
house and feed like, you know, lettuce and carrots.
The other one can survive on itsown eating out of the trash that

(09:10):
we throw away in parks and what have you.
I don't know people that have eaten raccoons.
I mean, I kind of feel like if it breeds and it's a living
Organism, I'm pretty sure there's a culture that goes nuts
and eats. Them, the Chinese, the Chinese,
the Asian community, they believe that every everything is

(09:36):
edible, that that breathes so. Especially stuff that comes out
of the ocean, yeah. And but what I, I've, I've
watched, I've watched video where they're actually breeding
cockroaches. They breed cockroaches because

(09:56):
they multiply tremendously fast.They're easy to maintain.
They're they're yes, they're like 100% protein.
So they breed these cockroaches and then they grind them up into

(10:16):
like a powder. And then yes, they grind them up
into like a powder and they makethese like cakes with them.
You know, I'm like, I was like, yeah.
So when I go anywhere like I wasalready told this, if you travel
out of out of country, don't eatanything that you don't see them

(10:38):
cook. Well, yeah, it's.
Funny if. You saw them just throwing a
powder together, you would thinkit was flour or something.
You wouldn't pay really a lot ofattention, I mean.
Not now when I go to China, I got to be like, is that Roach
powder? Because I didn't ask for that.
You know, one of the things thatI was always told was kind of
the opposite. Don't ask what you're eating.

(11:00):
Just eat it, you know, And because that came from a house
where, you know, my dad was a veterinarian and so Rocky
Mountain oysters were on the menu, you know, and it was
something that nobody really like My, I remember my grandma,

(11:24):
my mom served my grandma Rocky Mountain oysters, the story
goes. And my grandmother was raving
about how delicious they were and asking what they were.
And my mom just was like don't ask, just enjoy them because you
brought them in and grill them or like fry them.
So I. Kind of feel the reason for that
room is out of respect for the person cooking, But at the same

(11:48):
time, I kind of feel like, Hey, I want to know what I'm eating,
you know, and if I'm, if I'm traveling out of the country and
again, I mean, Rocky Mountain oysters, I know what they are,
but I don't know if the average person, if you're just like,
here you go dinner, you know, dinner is served and they don't

(12:10):
know what Rocky Mountain oystersis.
I'm pretty sure they're going towant to be like, you know, Hey,
what am I eating here? It's is it oysters?
No, it's far from oysters. This shit doesn't even come.
Rocket does what? Well, yeah, what the thing?
Is it's what's for dinner the thing?

(12:30):
Is it just depends on where you're from and your upbringing
of what you eat? Because somebody serve you
Swedish meatballs and you're used to eating Swedish meatballs
all the time, or spaghetti and meatballs or some type of
sausage that's in the ball fat for formation, right?

(12:55):
And then you go to get Rocky Mountain oysters.
You thinking, oh, oh, I got Swedish meatballs here and you
start going to town? You know so.
Here's the question. What's the weirdest meat you've
ever eaten? Or, well, food that you've ever
eaten. I remember one time I was coming
home from school and my mom was frying up.

(13:19):
She was actually frying up something on the stove and I,
which I thought was a steak and my mom is as she's she's cooking
and smells really good. It turns out as she was putting
it in the plate, preparing it for me, my brother, my sister,

(13:39):
that it wasn't steak. It turned out that she had
grilled a Stingray. What?
Yeah, she was making like it wasa fried Stingray.
So as you guys know, a Stingray is like a, it's like a, it's a
flat fish. And it has like a So what they

(13:59):
did was of course they had cut the sides of it and, and it, you
know, and there were, it was like thick too.
And they cut it into like a thick steak and she was making
it. And yeah, I thought it was like,
I really thought it was, you know, like a like a like a beef

(14:20):
or something like that. Or I thought it was actually, it
was either beef, but it was likekind of pink the way that it was
being made. So it was like, oh, is this beef
or is this like pork and you're just trying something out
because we don't really eat pork.
But it turns out as my mom was like nearing, she was like, oh,
by the way I got and she got it from a Vietnamese person who had

(14:43):
drugged their Nets through the Gulf of Mexico from like from
New Orleans to to where little small town we lived in.
And they had caught a few Stingray along the way.
And my mom was like, they they told us like, Oh yeah, you can.
This is why I said, you know, Asian people, anything out of
the water, I would imagine with,with the exception of jellyfish,

(15:07):
they will eat, you know what I'msaying?
So they had caught a few, they had caught a few Stingrays along
the way. And my mom, one of the people
that my mom knew, gave it to herand told her, hey, this is how
you can cook it or whatever. And luckily for my mom, they had
already like cut it up already. So.

(15:28):
It wasn't like she had to do like all the work, like cut it
up and throw like the Stinger away.
They had already did that while they were on the on route to
coming back or what have you. So that was one of the the
strangest things I've seen my mom cook.
I didn't eat the Stingray because I was just kind of like.
That's. You know, it was just nothing

(15:49):
that I would ever thought that Iwould eat and I was, you know.
But I remember one time my mom did trick us where we lived in
West, TX. She had cooked a meal and me and
my brother and me and my brothercame home from school and she
had made what we thought was Stew chicken and rice.

(16:11):
But as I'm eating this, this meat, I couldn't help but notice
that these bones were very unrecognizable to me.
Like, I'm like, what part of theI guess we've eaten chicken all
of our lives. You know that if you you're
eating chicken, you can recognize bones after you eat
something. Oh, yeah, no problem.
None of the none of the parts ofthis meat that we were eating

(16:35):
was recognizable. And my mom was laughing at us
while we were eating, you know, and she wasn't drunk and she
wasn't high. So we're like, something is up,
something is going on. So as it turns out.
The Pigeon. Oh, no.
Oh no. Oh, thank God.
No, I would never do that. But it turned out that the whole

(16:56):
time, like while we were in the middle of eating, it turned out
that we were eating rabid. And we're like.
Oh, rabbit. We've never had rabbit before.
And my mom, instead of just being like, hey, we're having
rabbit for dinner, she wanted tosee how we would react to like,
eating something like rabbit. I'm not going to lie, it does

(17:17):
taste like chicken the way she cooked it.
And I'm like, oh rabbit. So.
It was like, OK, I now learn that I can eat a rabbit if I
need to. And I guess the third other
thing the our stepfather had made one time was alligator.
I did not touch because I I'm too Caribbean to eat alligator,

(17:44):
so you know, But yeah, so. I've had.
Yeah, but I, I need to know, diddid your brother or your sister
eat the Stingray? Or the alligator.
Or the alligator. And what'd they say?
I think they tried, they tried the Stingray.
I don't remember if my brother liked it or not, but my brother,

(18:05):
like he, I mean, he's a very picky eater.
So it's just like he's always been a picky eater.
So I'm, I wouldn't be surprised if he tasted it.
It was like, mom, we have chicken in the refrigerator,
like made that shit. You know, I don't remember if my
sister ate it. I know I didn't eat it.
I know my stepfather did because, you know, he lives in
Texas. He, he'll eat anything.

(18:27):
I remember one time he, he brought snake to the house and,
and it was like, you know, like snake meat.
And I'm just like, can't you know, we're Caribbean?
Can't we just eat the shit that we're used to, you know?
But I, you know, but I've also kind of like, I mean, I eat
Curry goat. I eat, I mean, of course we eat

(18:49):
chicken, we eat beef. But it's like I've leaned more
towards other stuff. Like, I've eaten Buffalo before,
I've eaten bison and I've eaten deer and I love deer meat.
You know what I'm saying? I know it's not like one of
those things that it's not like,you know, I don't get deer.
I don't eat venison that often. But if I ever get a chance to,

(19:11):
I'm like, I'm all over that. So, but yeah, I, I tried octopus
once. I didn't like it.
I've had calamari before. Not a huge fan, but, you know,
if anything, I'll try something once.
But I know I didn't touch this thing, Ray, because I just
didn't feel like I'm just like Iwas.

(19:33):
Not that. I'm not that adventurous, you
know? At age 16.
Your mom eat it. My mom.
Oh, yeah, She ate the shit out of me.
Oh, my mom ate it. Because.
I mean, she ate it because eggs,she cooked it, but at the same
time it's. Like.

(19:54):
She's my mom is not afraid to mymom travels all over the world
now. Like she goes to a lot of places
and she's not afraid to try new things.
And as much as I watch Anthony and as much as I watch Anthony
Bourdain travel the world and try stuff, it's just like I'm
very reserved. I'm more reserved than I

(20:14):
thought. Like case in point, I love
sushi. We have a sushi restaurant where
there's no menus and there's certain amount of seating that
they have. I think it's like 16 to 22
seats. And once it's full, they serve
you random rolls, random stuff, and you have to eat it.

(20:37):
It's disrespectful if you don't.And it's about $100 a seat, so.
And they sit there. Yeah, they sit.
You sit there and you have to. I mean, there's no menu, so
they're just making random stuff.
And I don't like octopus and there's certain things that I
don't like. So it's like I respect the

(20:58):
culture too much to say I ain't eating that or pass it on over
to someone. I I can't do that especially and
the, and the stuff that they make.
I, I was watching a video, I waswatching a Netflix like
documentary on like one of the greatest sushi makers in the
world. And you go to his restaurant,

(21:22):
you sit down, you eat what he makes for you.
There's no bitching, there's no moaning, there's no ifs, ands or
buts. But and, and, and on top of
that, it's not like he's just making it right.
He prepares the night before. So him and his people are
working on and they're at, you know, the, the, the, they're

(21:42):
asking them questions like, whatare you doing to the rice?
What are you doing to this? What do you do when somebody
says or like they won't give youthe next entree or the next
rollo or the next until you finish that, you know, so if
you're paying 100 bucks a seat or whatever, you would like to

(22:04):
think that, I mean, and so I've been invited to like, hey, I
know you like sushi. You want to do this.
And I always say no because I don't want to be served
something that I'm not going to eat.
I don't want to. And I and I and I, you know, and
it's like, you know, I don't. And, and I again, no menu.
So that means you have no choice.

(22:26):
Yeah. And you don't even know what
you're eating, you know, I mean.You could ask what you're
eating, you know, like, hey, youknow, what's this?
You know, because it's like, andthey'll tell you, oh, this is
what we put together. It's a this with this.
And we put, you know, spicy whatever on top of it.
And it's like, OK. And again, it's not like the

(22:47):
entrees are like, I mean, it's like you could just grab a
chopstick and swallow it down easy.
But you know, I, I'm, I'm, I like, I'm very picky with my
sushi and very reserved. So, but if I'm going to a place
that I've never been to before where they have delicacies that

(23:10):
are like, you know, like. Like, I mean like, like what
Primate me? Well, I mean, yeah, like, not
for nothing. You can walk through Chinatown
and you'll see like animals thatare like inside out.
You know what I'm saying? It's like, and I, but again,

(23:32):
like you said, Asian people, they'll, you know, their, their
palate is very vast. You know what I'm saying?
Like it's like, you know what? You what?
I don't know if you're gonna watch through like H Mart.
You've ever been to an H Mart? And I noticed one in Tacoma for
sure they and we have one in NewYork and it's.
Cute. They have stuff that you would

(23:54):
never think you would that that people ate.
But that's, you know, that's, that's the culture.
You know what I'm saying? And.
Yeah. You know, whether it's whether
it's the Asians, whether it's French people like I've, I've
never eaten snails and I've heard snails taste like like has

(24:15):
like a rubbery texture, this, that, whatever.
But I again I'm not that. Maybe I would try it one day.
But chocolate covered ants? I remember I wasn't telling me
about chocolate covered ants. My mother, My mother.
Well, see, and I didn't. I wouldn't.
My mother I. Don't like chocolate that much?
My mother liked chocolate. Chocolate covered ants.

(24:37):
Speaking of that, I will say this.
Speaking of insects, I have tried grasshopper.
I was going to say grasshopper. I have tried grasshopper and and
it was it was fried actually. So it's just like, and you know,
it's just one of those things where it's like again, I'm

(24:57):
thinking, oh, grass, it was a itwas fried grasshoppers and they
had it like, Oh my God, like it was just the way that I mean,
and you can just grab a grasshopper, crush it and it's
like smoke. So I just.
Pop it in and. I popped it.

(25:18):
I, I, I just, I was like, you know what, what's and, and The
thing is, it didn't look like no, I was sober.
Oh wow. Yeah, yeah, I was sober and I
was like, you know what, you only live once.
It's a fried grasshopper. So it's like I kind of felt like
if there's any, there's nothing to worry about as far as germs
or anything like that. I'm like, it's a fried, hollowed

(25:39):
out grasshopper. So I popped one in my I popped
one in my mouth and it just it mean it almost, there was no
taste to it really. And it was just something that I
was like, I'm like, oh, let me try another one to see.
Like maybe this one was like, you know, and I popped another
dried fried grasshopper and it and.

(26:00):
Next thing you know, he's eatinga bag full of them.
I ate 3 quart. I ate one a quarter of a bag of
grass of I knew it because I'm just like, and and my friends
were looking at me like, wait a minute, like this is your new
thing now you're going to start eating fried grasshoppers.

(26:21):
I'm like, it's really not that bad.
And mind you, it wasn't like it had it was you had the antennas,
the eyes. I mean, it was just, yeah, it
had it had I. AM.
Squeamish. I am Squeamish.
I'm a squeamish eater. I'm I'm super, super picky and I

(26:41):
think the most adventure like I've eaten goat, I've eaten goat
wasn't too bad. I've eaten all kinds of venison
and you know all that shit. Bear was probably the wildest
thing that I've ever eaten. I've eaten bear and I've eaten
frog legs. Nope, not getting touch a frog
legs I've. Heard bear meat is pretty tough.

(27:03):
Actually, it's it's greasy. Yeah, it's.
Oh, it's OK. It's very greasy.
It tasted like the bear that we had.
And it really depends on the kind of diet that the the bear
eats, right. So if you've got a bear that's
main diet is fish, it's going totaste kind of fishy.

(27:24):
If you've got a bear that eats berries or garbage, Berry bears
are are. It's got, yeah, it's going to,
well, it's going to be a little gamey.
It's going to be gamey, except it's going to be.
It's very greasy. It's greasy.
The one that we had, it wasn't gamey.
It was super tender and it was, it was a roast.

(27:45):
I had a bear roast and it was like eating a rump roast.
Literally. It was a rump roast, but it was
delicious. It was very greasy.
Wow. See, I, yeah, that's, that's the
one meat I can say I've never had.
But you just reminded me, actually, when I was living in
Washington state, I've had cougar meat.

(28:07):
Yeah. And that was.
Oh. Yeah, that cougar.
I had cougar meat. One of our warehouse guys
imagined at the time there was cougar.
Yeah, he shot a cougar, followedit, tracked it, and he brought
cougar meat to the warehouse, stuffed in there in in like the
refrigerator. And then during lunch, they

(28:30):
grilled, they they barbecued it and they made sandwiches and
they cut it and made like sandwiches.
Like I had cougar meat sandwiches.
And I'm going to lie it, it was very gamey, but I was like, this
is good. And the part that I was eating
was like the hind leg part. Like he had cut the hind legs
because that's where like a lot of the meat and muscles are AT.

(28:50):
And he had so he had cut that and I've had it and I'm like,
OK, that's the, you know, 1 meatI can cross off the, the list of
like strange meats that I've that I've ever eaten.
But you know, it's just like when it comes to like stuff like
elk and, and you know which, which I've had here in New York,

(29:12):
a friend of mine introduced me to a place called, I think it
was called Bear Burger. And they served like elk meat,
elk burgers and whatnot. As expensive as the the the
burgers were, it was well worth it.
Yeah, see, I'm not. I don't like the the taste.
It's a of gaming meat. That's the one thing I don't.

(29:34):
Like elk is good. I like elk is really game meat.
Well, well, I spent a lot of time in Canada and they got this
place up in Canada and it's thisrestaurant they have like all
these different, they have all these different type of meats
that you can order out of it. So you can have you can have
elk, you can have bison, you canhave mousse, you can have you

(29:57):
can have mousse, you can have beer.
And I think they serve Beaver and.
I think that like a lot of those.
It was it was a really weird place was all.
It was like a big giant log cabin type feel in it.
And it it was this place in Canada, like I said, and they

(30:20):
served, they had this pictures. They had pictures of all the
different wildlife that you can eat on the wall.
It was a trip. So, but it was really cool
because it was an actual, it wasan actual butcher house inside.
So they would have like they would have like you as you're

(30:45):
walking in, you're walking past these glass windows with meat
that's being that's hung up. Like here's here's the here's
some pigs, here's some cow, here's some goats, here's some
moose, here's some deer, here's some elf, here's some Venice and
you're walking past this pictures of them up against,

(31:07):
well, a shadow picture of of it above the thing.
So you know what? And like, oh shit.
So that's bear and that's this and that's that.
I'll have me some of this and I'll be like, and they'll ask
you how do you want to do you want a steak?
You want a burger? Whatever you want it, they would
chop it up for you right there and then they'll and then they
would cook it up for you. And bring it out.

(31:30):
It was really. Cool, Really cool.
Yeah, that's a place that I would totally go to just to try
out those meats. And the first thing that came to
mind was, like you said, moose. I'm like, oh, I moose chili.
Like that would be like, hey, I want moose.
Moose is good. I want this in the chili.
Really good. Yeah, Moose is really.

(31:50):
Good. I've had moose.
Yeah, Moose is really good. I've had moose, I've had deer,
I've had elk, I've had bear, I've had moose, deer, elk, bear,
frog legs and rabbit and chickenand.

(32:21):
I think that's it. I had deer.
I did say deer, right? Yeah, yeah.
But but that's that's what I've been.
Here in New York, I remember, gosh, it was probably like 25
years ago, I remember. So sometimes my grandmother, we
live near a place that had served where they kind of have

(32:44):
chickens that are like free range, you know, we call them
yard birds. So they don't, they're not like
processed through like Tyson's chickens or Purdue or anything
like that. Like you could go to like a spot
and there's like chickens there.You could say, Hey, I want this.
And what they do is they defect.I mean, they're literally like

(33:05):
in cages and what have you. They and it smells like a
chicken pan, of course, and theychop it up and they de feather
in it and then they'll, they'll,they'll bring it out to you,
like package and steal and whatnot.
But I remember I went to the first time I went to this place
because my grandma was like, hey, I need you to get me like a

(33:26):
bunch of chicken legs and, you know, bring it back, bring it
back once it's done. And we go in here and I kid you
not, this fucked my whole world up.
We go in there and then one of the chicken, one of the choices
you can make is you can order a pigeon.

(33:48):
And I'm like, like, there's like, there's pigeons in this.
Like mind you, I could walk downthe street and kick like 10
pigeons by the time I get to thetrain station.
Right. And I'm like and and I went
there with my cousin. And I was like.
Yo, there's pigeons in here. He was like, yeah, I'm like,

(34:10):
wait, how are you? How are you not surprised by
this? And this only goes to show how
Caribbean I really am because I did not know that Caribbean
people ate pigeons. And I, I'm, I go into the front
and I make my order, but I'm like, hey, who buys the pigeons?
Like, what is that for? And the guy tells me in like
this very Caribbean accent, he'slike, yeah, Haitians buy the

(34:32):
pigeons. And I'm like, Haitian people eat
pigeons. He was like, yeah.
And I'm like, oh, OK. And I, I told one of my, my
college friends, I was like, hey, do you guys eat pigeons?
And he was like, Oh, yeah, it's a delicacy.
You know, it was like, where do you know a place that sells
pigeons? Because I was like, I told them

(34:53):
I'm like, look, there's a place right by me.
They sell pigeons, Swans, like almost any bird that you know,
And they're like, yeah, my family, you know, we eat
pigeons. I was like, I've never heard of
that because I every time I see a pigeon, I'm just like, oh,
nobody eats, you know, like who would?

(35:13):
Eat you. Like rats.
And in New York, they're flying rats considered.
There's way too many of them so I'm like.
You know, and it's funny though,it's, it's, it's funny though
about the pigeon. This is that you hear about the,
the back story of pigeons and their ties to humans.
And that's why the pigeons are the way they are.

(35:35):
That's why they hang out in the cities and everything, because
for so long they were domesticated for a long time and
that you heard like people carrier pigeons and stuff like
that. That's literally how they used
to communicate. So they had domesticated the
pigeons, and so now pigeons associate humans with food and

(35:56):
also with being taken care of. So, well, even though humans
forgot that relationship, the pigeons didn't.
Yeah, I mean people, you could go to the park and you'll see
people feeding the birds and it's mainly pigeons.
Like it's mainly pigeons in the parks and it's like they know
what time to be at the park and what they, you know, oh, look,

(36:19):
there's people there and yeah, yeah, no, pigeons are, are, are
well, in the city. I, I could say this for sure.
They're very well taken care of by humans here because, you
know, you know, the people feed them if you're, if, if you're.
I know, I know what you got. One time we were eating a pizza

(36:42):
and he, when he got to the crust, he tossed the crust out
onto the sidewalk. And I'm like, why don't you
throw it away? And before I could even answer
that question, a seagull came, picked up the, picked up the
pizza crust and fucking flew away with it.
And I'm like, oh, he was like, yeah, that's why he's like, he's

(37:05):
like, I only if it's like. Food.
He's like, yeah, if I'm done with that, I'll just throw it in
the sidewalk and let the and letnature take his course.
If it's like cardboard or like anything else, he's like, yeah,
sure, I'll throw it in the trash.
But it's like if it's a pizza and I could like help nature,
I'm throwing it wherever and he's like, I know it's going to

(37:27):
take care of you know, and not not as soon as I answer ask that
question because we were on the beach actually, and he just
tossed it on the boardwalk and apigeon came, grabbed that shit
and flew away with it. It made its name.
Yeah, I've watched the seagulls and stuff a lot of times.
Hell, he he didn't even have thetossing on the ground.

(37:48):
He could throw it up in the air and it would have never hit the
ground. True.
Yeah, true fight if you if you go to, I know there's the Ivars
seafood joint over on in in Seattle, like by the pier.
I've seen people like stick French fries out and steagalls
will come by. You have to get out their hand.

(38:11):
Yep, I've done it. I've guys do that with French
fries and French fries and got this this last piece of burger.
Yep, and they will hold it up. In the air, they'll come and
scoop that shit out your hand and.
We'll take that shit right out your hand and, and it's like,
and that's kind of fun, I'm not going to lie.
Like I will order fries just to do that, you know?

(38:34):
So like sometimes, like if you know me and a friend, we go out.
And. Yeah, no, I.
Do that. I've never done that and I think
that that's what I need to do isI need to to Now I have a new.
Goal. Life life goal to go achievement
unlock you know I want to go getsome French fries and I'm not

(38:56):
going to buy my 1 the ritzy ass well, I'll I'll.
Tell you what, what, what? I'll.
Tell you I'll tell you a better way for you to enjoy yourself
and it'll be really cool becausewe go to Canada and what what
and what will happen is I've gone to Canada and we're on the

(39:17):
ferry or now we have to Canada. And if you stand out on the
deck, I'll hold your hand in theair.
The birds will fly right alongside the boat and they'll
eat from your hand and they'll just stay right there.
And you can hold your hand up and they'll eat and just stay
right there. And you can grab something else
and put it up there and just. Snap, I'll just glide with you.

(39:39):
No, just glide right next. To you do that, yeah, do that.
Listen to it and I can record it.
Nothing. I mean, I've been to two Ivar's
restaurants, one in Burien and then one in downtown Seattle.
You know, they have a, a really great clam chowder.
So you know, it was, it's definitely one of the things

(40:03):
that you, if you live in the Pacific North, well, especially
Seattle, you definitely want to check out in Ivar's.
I think it's one of the really nice, top notch seafood
restaurants. I don't know if it's a huge
chain because I've, you know, I don't know of it outside of
Seattle, but. There's a big chain.
Yeah, it's a huge chain. I, I don't know.
So we rarely get into Seattle. We actually went to Seattle.

(40:25):
We got to talk about this for a minute.
We went to Seattle this last Sunday because Miss Sandy Riser
gave us, she was unable to use for Matt Rice ticket.
So she gave them to Romeo and I.First of all, it was at the

(40:47):
clinic, pledge arena and over the.
Store we drove. We drove in, it was crazy, crazy
traffic, which is also one of the reasons why I don't usually
go into Seattle, but. We're driving in and, and we're
behind this car in the carpool lane, which is the far left

(41:10):
lane. And we're, we're driving in and
the car in front of us, the traffic starts picking up and
the car right in front of us, the back door opens up while
they're driving. The passenger side driver, the
driver. No, the driver's side, the
driver's side back door, The back door behind the drivers

(41:33):
opens up and then you see feet stick out and I'm like, what?
The. And Mary is like, Oh my God,
what the fuck is going on? And this dude jumps out the car
and I'm like, I'm like, Oh yeah.I mean and.
They were going like 5-10 miles an.
Hour. They were going about 10 miles,
yeah. Going about 10 miles an hour,
not super fast, but these feet come out and he just.

(41:55):
Yep. Yep, Yep, that's a car.
And try to walk out of the shit.And I was like, I'm like, oh,
somebody pissed him off. And he was not like, he was
probably like maybe in his mid. 30s Yeah, he's about 30.
And when I could make out from the driver, she was not.
She was a lot older. She had silver hair and she
didn't even. Didn't even look back.

(42:17):
Didn't look back. Oh, really?
Yeah, it was. Well, I was like, I was like.
She was tripping. Out.
Strange. Yeah, it's like, Oh my God, did
you just see that? And.
I was like, yeah. It was wild.
I'm. Like, yeah, I saw that and.
Then, on our way home, we actually.

(42:39):
So we get there. It's like 14,000 people there,
yeah. Yeah, 14. 1000 people.
He freaking he freaking he was he he was like it's the most
tickets I've ever sold for anything.
He goes, he goes. Seattle has has top billing for
the most tickets I've ever sold because that place was that

(43:00):
place was packed. Yeah.
It was, I was like sold out. I'm like, God damn.
It's I mean, yeah, it was like, yeah, it was damn, they're all
the way sold out because we didn't see Hardy.
It was crazy Was we were there for an hour and people were
still finding places to sit an hour and a half in.
I know. Oh.
Like he was already on stage halfway through his set and

(43:22):
people were finding. Yeah, it was boarding.
It was weird. But yeah, he had an opener, so
the host was actually a headliner out of Portland who's
going to be at Emerald City Comedy Club.
Emerald. City, Yeah.
Emerald City Comedy Club. Emerald City.
Yeah. Is that that's not just Everett,

(43:45):
is it? Yeah, yeah, that's just
Anderson. Not just Everett, just Anderson,
just Anderson. So so the host is going to be
headlining at that her club in January.

(44:05):
Or. January or something?
Then it was. You could tell he was really
nervous. You could tell he was really
nervous because the like the theater was kind of cool.
I like the way the theater was. It was literally just an open
big stage in the middle of the arena, which I thought was cool.

(44:27):
They didn't have, you know, so and they had like the monitor,
so they kind of would walk around and stuff That was cool.
And then the feature was Eric Griffin from.
Oh, OK, I know who he is. Yeah, yeah.
I didn't know who he was, but funny.

(44:47):
Oh yeah, he's funny. Oh my God, He had some great
bits that he was fucking hilarious.
And then Matt Rice. And you know, what's interesting
is, is that for his popularity, like I've seen way funnier
comics. He, I mean, he's good for

(45:10):
somebody who's only 30. He's really good for somebody
who's only 30 and which is amazing because you know that
he's it's going to get better. But he as far as like the kind
of comedy, he does write jokes. And I think a lot of people
mistakenly think that he he justdoes crowd work because the fact

(45:33):
that that's the only thing they have he ever has posted.
And, and I'm like, yeah, becausehe doesn't, he's not going to
record his whole, his entire setwith all of his jokes and then
throw it up there for everybody all the time because then he,
he's going to have to have to rewrite a whole new set.
I mean, once you've put it out there, then that's where it's

(45:54):
at. So.
But I think he's really known for his crowd work because of
that. He, because the crowd work, fuck
you post, you can post that all the time because it's never
going to be the same. Your crowd work will never be
the same twice. And so it was like it was it was
really good. The the drive home though, was

(46:16):
crazy insane. I mean like just.
Yeah, we got stuck in. We got stuck.
I don't know. We were a block and a half.
We we were stuck in a block and 1/2 from the from where we left
for about an hour. Yeah, yeah.
Wow. Just not moving.
I've never seen a light change. For an hour.

(46:37):
So many times and not move. It off literally for an hour.
Now my question is, where did you guys park?
Literally right there in the stadium parking like right.
Yeah. The garage right next to it,
Yeah, because it was 90° and that day and our options where

(47:01):
we could have gone and parked atlike, say the park and ride and
the taking the light rail and then taking the monorail.
All of that stuff is free with your ticket.
It's the yeah, which is really cool.
I didn't know that you could actually take the monorail.
You just show them your ticket. Is your ticket for the monorail
your show ticket and also the light rail?

(47:22):
And so I was like, yeah, I mean,because parking was 85 bucks so.
What? Wait, what's how much?
$85 after taxes, Yeah, $85. Watch.
Yeah, that's what I said, yes. But.
We could have gone for free, we could have gone for free.

(47:44):
We could have gone to the monorail, we could have gone to
the light rail. We could have done all that We.
Could have parked up on the street.
We could have got there early enough and tried to find park.
Parking for 15. Dollars but but my wife, you
know. Oh no, I got to fucking pay for
it right now. I paid for the shit I didn't
even know until she already paidagain.

(48:06):
She didn't. She didn't tell me that she paid
until we we got there. She's like, well, it's going to
be $77. I'm like, OK.
I'm like, God damn, really? She goes, yeah.
And then when we get there, she goes, well, it was $85.
I'm like, really? It was 85.
I was I was already upset at 77.That's, I mean, that's a lot

(48:27):
though. It is a lot.
It's absolutely a lot. However, however, OK, I am not
willing in 90° temperatures, I can't.
I don't do the heat. I don't do.
The heat, that's fine, but. I don't do the heat.
I'm not going to walk 5 blocks. Plus.

(48:48):
Plus I have a a strained ligaments in my ankle.
But that's OK. And you got a bad knees.
I'm not hiking. No freaking.
OK, listen, this is but my, my whole, my whole, my, my outlook
on it. That was they open the doors at

(49:08):
5:30. It's supposed to start at 8:00.
I'm like, babe, we got all day. We can go there early, find
ourselves a parking spot and then go in if it's not too far.
But she's like, no, it's going to be too hot.
I don't want to walk that far. I'm thinking to myself, we got

(49:28):
handicap parking week. It's Sunday week on a place
early enough, somewhere close that's not $85.
Look right across the street. That car right across the street
was 15 bucks. That car that had handicapped
parking placard that we saw getting towed as we were pulling
in. Yeah.

(49:49):
About the same thing. They got the no.
No, that's not what I was saying.
The place where we parked last time we were there was right
across the street. It was $15.
Yeah, it was awesome. But you know, anyway, I
remember, I remember when I would used to go there, when I
used to go to like the Seattle Center or the Space Needle,

(50:12):
which of course is all adjacent to.
I remember that's Key Arena. Back then, I was able to park on
Mercer St. for free. I would park on Mercer St. or
Mercer Ave. and I would just walk the, I mean, it wasn't even
that far because it's just like first of all, $85 sometimes that

(50:34):
was more than, you know, the ticket that I got for the event
itself, you know, so, but also like the fact that they are
allowing you to take the light rail and the monorail for free
if you have your ticket with you.
I think that's an incentive because it's like if you're

(50:54):
gonna have 14,000 people going to an arena, I mean, like, it's
crazy. Like even at Madison Square
Garden, we have trains. We have, you know, the, the, the
Long Island Railroad, the metro.Yeah, we have the Long Island
Railroad. We have Jersey Transit, we have

(51:17):
the MTAS. We have a lot of train systems
underneath Madison Square Gardens where you don't have to
bring your car into the city to catch a basketball ball game.
You know what I'm saying? That's one thing that I really
like about the city because I have friends.
Like, like the last time I went to Giant Stadium, a friend of
mine was like coming from the Bronx.
He's like, oh, I'm driving in. But that's OK because, you know,

(51:40):
he had like a pass. You know, he had it.
He had, he had a parking pass. And it all worked out.
But that's the one thing that had always, like grinded my
gears about going to special events.
It's the parking. Yes.
You know. So it's it's expensive and I
agree, I agree that parking is, is insane.

(52:06):
I just, and normally my very thrifty, thrifty heart, my very
thrifty, thrifty self would havesaid, let's go take the light
rail and then let's go take the monorail and save us that

(52:28):
freaking 85 bucks. We can go hike a few blocks, but
in 90° weather and when I was having insane pain already in my
and. Nobody.
We wasn't, we wasn't. We wasn't doing the monorail and
all that stuff. Yeah, I last time we went.
Hold on, last time we went and those bums were sleeping on that
on the train station, they were sleeping sitting on the steps.

(52:54):
And it was like all these peoplegetting off the train had to go
down the steps to the parking ride to get to get off the train
and come down the steps to the parking lot area, right?
And these bums were sleeping on the steps and wouldn't move.
And, and it had like, it had hundreds of people trying to get

(53:17):
down the stairs and they're sitting on the stairs sleeping
and acting like they're not, they're not going to move, have
like they sleep. No, they were probably strung.
Out and I'm like, what the fuck?I'm like I'm like, it's got all
these people, these motherfuckers just sleeping on
the stairs. Get your motherfucking ass off
the stairs. You know what the fuck is wrong
with you? You see all these fucking people

(53:39):
and they were just acting like they ain't fucking hear nobody,
you know? Because it's a passive
aggressive state, it's not like people are going to go walk by
and start kicking them. Yeah, right, right.
It's not like, you know, if it were like, what would they do
in, like, New York? Well, in New York, because I
noticed some place that actuallyare what's the station?

(54:04):
Penn Station, notorious for almost, you know, layabouts.
There's a sign that says please do not sit on the stairs.
People ignore the shit out of that.
And so when I'm trying to get from one part of the station to
the other, I got to play hopscotch or act like an NFL,

(54:25):
like I'm returning a punt returnor something trying to get
through all these. But I just, I just keep my mouth
shut and go about my business because I don't feel like
getting stabbed by a homeless person.
Yeah, because I don't, Because Idon't know how to tell that
story on stage. You know what I'm saying?
Like. It gives some material.

(54:48):
I'll know how to do that you. Don't need some material you.
Don't need. I know right?
I almost got killed the end of the.
Day, you guys are wondering, Youguys are wondering why I'm
missing 2 fingers and I got a black eye.
Wow. You know, you never know who's
packing, especially the homelessand they got and they got more
St. training than I do because they are on the street.

(55:12):
So, and I'm not definitely. For.
Sure. Yeah, I don't.
You know I don't. Kick them on your way through is
what you're. Saying, oh, I don't, because if
I do kick them, I'm afraid that I might have like a diseased
needle stabbed in my knee. Oh, that would be.
An interesting question. Yeah, I know, right?
You sure? Oh, that's right.
They need to get a hat. Knives.
They got dirty needles. Yeah, yeah.

(55:37):
Look, I see a homeless person. I'm like, oh, excuse me, excuse
me, you have changed. No, I don't.
I'm trying to get from the New Jersey Transit to the MTA so I
can go about my business. Sorry, Excuse me, but yeah, you
know, homeless people and they're everywhere.
And it's weird because I have totake the New Jersey Transit to

(55:58):
get to like if I'm flying out ofNewark.
So sometimes I'll have to stop at Penn Station and especially
in the middle of the night and it's full of just weird people.
And they just remodeled it. So it's like, it's almost like
the the Taj Mahal, but homeless people are just like, yay, I get

(56:20):
to sleep on the cleaner floor this go round.
You know what I'm saying? So it's just but, and mind you
I'm trying to get a Krispy Kremedoughnut but I got to step over
mother fuckers just to get him. Yeah.
Yeah. He just got through.

(56:42):
So let me see what's going on. What's going on today?
Oh so I've seen that they had this kid get killed, this 10
year old get got hit by an RV inDC and I think it was Texas.
This white guy and he lives 3 Doors Down from these people.

(57:07):
He was riding his ATV, killed his 10 year old kid, ran, ran
him over, went back to pick his mirror up off the ground and
nothing's done. Nothing.
Said he's not charged with anything.
Nothing, nothing. The guy this I watched the

(57:29):
posting this morning or was yesterday I think it was
yesterday the guy was posting Why is nobody talking about
this? This kid is UN alive that the
age of 10 years old and he had the picture of the white guy
with a cowboy hat on and he was like this happened and he lives
3 Doors Down from his kid and he's like his mother has to see

(57:53):
his man every fucking day and heshe just killed his son and
nothing's happening to him at all.
Sorry, what's the race? What's the race of the deceased?
A little. Black boy?
Oh OK, a little black boy was killed by a white guy on the RV
on the ATV. OK.

(58:15):
The guy was driving the ATVI. Think you just basically
answered your question right there.
Yeah, yeah, pretty much. And that's that's just a sad
reality that we live in. Why is nothing happening?
Well, now, if it was in reverse,in which it has been before,

(58:37):
remember the kid that got, I believe we were the black kid
that stopped the white kid at a football game.
I believe in Texas, yeah, they've been a big stink about
that because the kid is black, stabbed the stabbed the white
kid. So yeah.
And look, it's. We, we, we, we do know, we do

(58:58):
know, you know, I, I, I brought it up and it's probably a, you
know, it's probably a topic that, like you said, I, I
answered my own question. But no.
But it's no, but, but it's a fair question.
It's a very fair question. And it's a question that I
always, that I always ask, Case in point, in Mobile, AL, which I

(59:23):
visited 3 times, they're going through, I think a mayoral, A
mayoral runoff, a white male who's a Republican, a black
female who's a Democrat. And this just was a post that
showed up on my Facebook becauseI guess, you know, since I've
been there. But nonetheless, one of the

(59:47):
comments on there, this white, this elderly white woman said,
and I'm just going to paraphrasebecause the name of the the
people may not, but they will say that if the black woman
again, the Democrat wins. The United States should bring

(01:00:08):
the National Guard to mobile. And I'm like, oh, this is juicy.
And I'm reading the comments. And the people that agreed were
people that looked like her, male or female, elderly.

(01:00:29):
Now, again, I don't know neitherof the the candidates.
I don't know them at all, right?So I should not.
So I don't really have a skin inthe game per SE.
But as I'm reading the comments,you know, black women were like,
well, why don't you just say you're racist?

(01:00:50):
You know, black people, even white people were like and this
is what's wrong with Alabama. And The thing is, again, I've
been to Alabama a handful of times.
They've been I've been to very, very heavily racist places and I

(01:01:11):
like and and and not enough thatAlabama likes to pretend that
they're not racist. You guys are racist as fuck.
And and, and, and you, let me rephrase this.
You guys have a level of racism there that's very disturbing.
That's the problem. I've and and and again, it's,
it's the things that people say.And it's like, oh, you would not

(01:01:35):
have said this at another time. You know what I'm saying?
I've had friends of mine. I went to Montgomery, AL and
they're just like, yeah, never again.
I've been to Mobile three times.I've been to Foley.
I like Foley, but also, but Foley has its level of that kind

(01:01:57):
of stinking. You know what I'm saying?
Now, am I saying all of Alabama's races?
No, but a good percentage of them are to a point where it's
like, why bother visit? You know, so, so you've been to
mobile? I've been to mobile.
What did you think of it? I, I, my, I've been drunk in

(01:02:18):
mobile so many times. I'm thinking like, oh, I love
Dolphin St. or, you know, but I have a few friends in mobile
that are actually like, you wouldn't think that they would
be, that there was that kind of racism that I see on my Facebook

(01:02:39):
page on my, on my, you know, butit's just like there are people
there, like I've been told many times, Hey, there's certain
places in mobile you don't want to be caught dead in.
And I'm like, tell me and these places that they tell me, I'll
ask other people about and they're like, yeah, you
definitely want to go there. So OK so the reason I was asking

(01:03:02):
because me and Marianne was setting up for another cruise.
Our cruise would leave Seattle would leave Seattle, but it ends
in Mobile, AL. Find another place.
And then and so, so then Marianne goes, oh, we can stay
the night in Mobile. I said the fuck we can.
I said we go straight to the airport.

(01:03:23):
I'll tell you why. I'll tell you.
Well, first of all, you're not going straight to the airport
because the airport is like 30 minutes away from downtown.
It's very far from no no anyway.Because they have.
Transportation from the boat from the from.
The boat you get off the boat you get off the cruise ship.
And you get a lot of cruise. Bus.
Yeah, you take the bus. Straight to the IT takes you

(01:03:46):
straight to the airport. Right, right.
And it's all a part of the cruise line.
That's what you would want. Again, I don't I and I hate
shooting on mobile because thereare nice people in mobile.
They really are. You know, there's only once,
there's only one St. that I hangout on in Mobile and it's and

(01:04:08):
it's and you know, me and me andTyrone has been to Mobile.
Me, Tyrone and his wife, you know, went to Mobile.
We hung out and we kicked it with people, you know what I'm
saying? But at the same like like a
little. Bit different 3 black people,
yeah, hanging out in mobile versus this couple.
Exactly. You guys might get more looked

(01:04:29):
at than three, you know, people that look like they're from
mobile because you got. Yeah.
I was They might. They might hate me, but they
don't hate her even more. They don't hate her even more
than they would help me. I'll tell you guys this quick
story because no, second time I was in mobile.
No, the second time I went to Mobile, I was at a bar and I was

(01:04:53):
talking to this white girl like I was hollering at her and her
friends, like they were at this booth.
They were, they were talking, you know, we're talking and
whatnot. Oh, you know.
Oh, you're from New York? Will tell us about, you know,
you know, laying it smooth. You know what I'm saying?
But I'm overhearing these elderly ladies.
The. Booth right next to us, like,

(01:05:15):
oh, if, if I if that was, you know, back in my days, like that
never happened. Like what never happened?
Like I couldn't speak to these elderly ladies if we were the
same age and I'm oh, no. So I kind of went like, I kind
of went like this to them, but Iwas like, are you talking about

(01:05:36):
me? Are you talking about us?
And they were like, you know, oh, you know, we're just saying
like, you know, we're old fashioned.
And I'm like the final fashion, like brothers can't talk to you.
Like, even if I wanted to get with you, I couldn't talk to
you, even though they were, like40 years older than me.
I was like, you're saying that Icouldn't talk to you if I wanted
to. There's like, yeah, it's not.

(01:05:57):
They're like, yeah, that just doesn't happen here.
And I'm like, have you been to colleges lately?
There's so many white chicks dating black guys dating college
athletes. That's a thing now.
Like you know their. Parents are so you was brave.
You was brave for saying that bro.
When it, when it comes to racism, I am like, I waved the

(01:06:21):
flag, OK? I'm like, look, you're not going
to, you're not going to dry. You're not going to talk about
me in a booth next to me and then expect me not to say
something. And you know, there's no links.
They're just like, yeah. And there's like girls and
freaking. Out and I I so I grabbed and it
was weird because I was like, hey, can you call me for a

(01:06:42):
second? I called one of the girls over,
and I was like, so how would youfeel if I went to do this?
And I gave her a kiss on the cheek.
And they were just kind of like,look at her.
Like, you let him do that, You know what I'm saying?
And she was like, oh, she was like, that was very nice.
I'm like, yeah, you're very pretty.

(01:07:02):
She was like, mom, you know? And I'm like, hey, look, she's
alive. She's well.
Her heart's probably pumping really fast because she wasn't
expecting me to kiss her, but I just kissed her in front of four
women who do what dare I say is,you know, has a little bit of
race. I'd sense a little bit of racism
here and there. They're just like, that's just

(01:07:22):
not the way we knew things around here.
I'm like, yeah, that was like 100 years ago that.
Was a. 100 years ago, yeah. Yeah.
My friend who was like, are you bothering these ladies?
He was like, hey, let me talk toyou outside.
And I was like, I got to go. And my friend was like, yeah,
you got to be careful the way you talk to elderly white people

(01:07:44):
here because had somebody else had seen that, they would have
thought that you were like, being aggressive.
Fair. But I was responding to a racial
conversation that they had aboutmy business next to them.
You is like, yes, I get it. You're from New York.
You have, you know, you have this, you know, you, you have to

(01:08:06):
be that guy. But it's like MO and, and not
for nothing, I, I learned this even after leaving mobile for
the second time. That's one of the most dangerous
cities in the in the country. Yeah, yeah.
That's what that's what when shesaid we was going to mobile, I
was like, and she goes we can stay.
We could, we could probably staythe night.
I was like, the fuck we can. No, we ain't.

(01:08:28):
I was like, we going straight tothe airport.
If I stay, if I go to Mobile, I stayed downtown.
I remember I flew out to Mobile to do some shows and one of my
friends was like, oh, I'm doing an open mic at a pool hall, come
through and I, I, I, I tell my Uber, here's where I'm going.

(01:08:49):
And he's like, Are you sure? What the fuck?
I was like, what do you mean? Am I sure?
I gave you the address? He's like, it's a very dangerous
neighborhood. And I'm like, OK, well, I'm from
New York. Dangerous neighborhoods and me
are synonymous. So let's go.
And we got there. And I go into the event.

(01:09:10):
I go into the, you know, the place that they're doing the
open life. And I'm talking about, boy, I'm
like, hey, man, I told me it wasdangerous here.
It was like, oh, yeah, it totally.
It totally is. I'm like, really?
He's like, yeah, it's a dangerous spot.
He's like, you'd be lucky if youcan get a lift to get you out of
here. And he was not wrong about that
either. I could not get a lift or an
Uber at 11:30 to pick me up fromthe pool hall that I was at to

(01:09:34):
drop me off in beautiful downtown Candlestick Suites
Mobile. AL couldn't get him to come.
So my friend my the host of the open mic was like, I'll get you
a ride. I'll get somebody to get you a
ride downtown. And I'm like, OK, And, you know,

(01:09:55):
we're driving. And he was like, yeah, you would
not have gotten an Uber out herebecause this is a dangerous
area. Ubers don't like, come out here
like that. So he drove me.
You know, I paid for gas. I'm like, dude, I paid for gas
or anything. If they just get me the hell out
of here, I just want to go to myhotel room.
And you know, it's the only hotel that I stay at when I'm
there because it's downtown. It's close to everything that I

(01:10:19):
need. It's a few blocks away from
Dauphin Street where I get my drink on, where I get my
breakfast in the morning and whatnot.
And I don't really venture around Mobile like that.
I just hang out downtown becauseusually when there's like a city
that's super dangerous, downtownis like the safest area.

(01:10:39):
But I've had comics tell me they've seen people.
I've had people tell me, I had acouple of comics tell me that
they've seen people get shot in downtown Mobile in a drive by
for nothing. And I'm like, really?
He was like, yeah, New Year's Eve.
He told me like the whole story.New Year's Eve, I'm hanging out,
we're drinking across the streeton the corner.
There's some guys hanging out and the next thing you know,

(01:11:01):
shots rang out and there's like 4 dead people on the floor.
And I'm like really Mobile, get down.
So. Yeah, they get down their mobile
from what I hear. Yeah, Yeah.
It won't be me. It will not be me.
So if we take this cruise, we will be taking the what we will

(01:11:22):
definitely be taking all of our rides straight through the
cruise line because the cruise line you get off the cruise ship
right there, right there and thebus is right there at the at the
at that bottom of the ramp. So you go down and you get.
Right on the bus. Huh.
Run to the bus. You get right on right?
You get right on the bus. It's the cruise line bus and it

(01:11:45):
takes you straight to the airport, so yeah, you don't
stop. Nowhere expensive.
Yeah, expensive to do that either.
No, it's like we. Do that when we go to Long
Beach, we get off in LA. Right.
And that's 1/2 an hour. In LA and they take you,
everybody gets on the bus and you go straight to Long Beach.
Yeah, and it's like $35, you know, for the break back.

(01:12:06):
And I mean it's because they load up all the bus.
Yeah, they load up all your bags, put it on.
The bus, they load everything upand you know they take.
It to the airport. They take your luggage.
You put your luggage outside your cabin at night and they
come by, they take your your luggage, they take it down and
they know that you're going to be getting on the bus, so they

(01:12:29):
take. It out to the front.
Section by the bus where you go on.
And or they take you right out. Yep, take you right on out there
to the bus. Hand it over to the Porter and
slip on A5 spot. They load it, the driver takes
you straight to the airport. Yeah, that way we ain't walking
nowhere. We not, we ain't got to, we
ain't got to walk to a bus stop.We ain't got to walk here.

(01:12:50):
No Uber or something. No, we ain't got to find an Uber
or none of that shit. And it takes us straight to the
airport and we get on the airport times.
Are we going to stay the night one night?
No, we ain't. Never, ever, never, ever.
Not mobile. Not me, not us.
We. No, no, I, I and I and I yeah, I

(01:13:11):
I don't blame you. I mean, again, it's like I don't
plan on going back to mobile anytime soon sometimes.
I'm I still think like a white girl.
OK, sometimes I still think likea white girl and I don't think
about out, you know, like where it it would not be a good place

(01:13:33):
for us to go. And sometimes I have to remember
that like it, it pulls me back into reality that there's places
that I, I mean, I definitely, I mean, there's, there's times
where you can see that there's people who are racist around us,
that when we are interacting together, we don't think about
it. You know, I, I hang on you give

(01:13:54):
you hugs, give you kisses, and Idon't think about it.
And people are are just glaring at us.
I just I just kind of feel I mean, the thing about like even
that incident in mobile, it's just like it like I was I
surprised. No, it's, you know, four older
white white ladies who but it itjust it amazes me that there's
still people that still have that thinking in their heads.

(01:14:18):
I'm like, we are like. I would like to think that we
have like progressed as. We have not.
Not even as like a. We, we have not, we are
slipping. We're slipping back, even though
with all the stuff that, with all the stuff that we've
accomplished over the years to get ahead or close to equality,

(01:14:44):
it's all being stripped away. It's all being taken back
because, because you know. I mean, it's because because now
people feel people are now I think are not holding back on
their, you know, on their feelings when it comes to race.
People are now just, they're putting it out there.

(01:15:04):
I mean, again, look at social media.
It reads like a demon's resume. You know what I'm saying?
The things that people are saying when it comes to race, it
sometimes it baffles me because I'm like it, it it really kind
of makes me lose like faith in the human race when it comes to,

(01:15:24):
you know, hating, hating other people because of the color of
their skin. Like the past couple of days,
like this morning I watched thismovie called a A long Walk Home
and it was it Whoopi Goldberg, isn't it 60 Spacek, isn't it

(01:15:47):
Whoopi Goldberg plays a maid to 60 Spacek.
And this goes back to, I believeit was the 19 50s or 60s in
Montgomery, AL, you know, and there it's, it's really about
the, the boycott against the buses, the, the, the, the public

(01:16:10):
transit system in Montgomery, ALbecause of black people sitting
in the back of the bus. You know, So what happened was,
and of course you all know the story, Black people decided to
either walk home or walk to work.
Or if they were able to, they would have like there would be

(01:16:31):
people from New York that would they would carpool them to work.
But that also hurt the the local, you know, public
transportation because there wasonly a few people on the bus,
you know, that were that didn't they couldn't afford vehicles,

(01:16:54):
of course. So they, you know, Whoopi
Goldberg's character would walk from her job from home to her
job and she would get there late.
So since he's basic in the moviewas like, well, a few days a
week, I'll see about getting youfrom your home at least to work.
To the dismay of her husband. Who?

(01:17:16):
Was not happy with that. You know, it's a really good
movie. It's actually on Tubi.
It it's very, I mean, it hits, it hits home.
You know, I think it's one of those things that when you watch
it it you're kind of like, Oh yeah, this makes a lot of sense.
They make a lot of Martin LutherKing references on their, they

(01:17:41):
use the N word a lot for APG 13 movie.
But it's, it's a really, I thinkit's one of those movies that I
kind of feel it's an important movie to watch because it shows
that black people, you know, when they come together, I mean,
and, and and boycott it. Like it was funny.
There was a scene where, or there was, I would say a scene,

(01:18:03):
but it was referenced that if there was more than a certain
amount of black people in the vehicle and a cop was following
it, the cop would write them a ticket because they were trying
to find ways to get people, the black people, of course, to take
public transportation. And if white people were

(01:18:24):
carpooling, they would get a ticket as well.
So, yeah, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a pretty good movie.
And I'm like, Oh, yeah, this, this makes sense that this
happened in Montgomery, AL You know, they made a couple of
rolls of it. Was released like in 1990.
I knew. Yeah, I heard it.

(01:18:44):
I heard it. As a nanny, so.
Yeah, it's a really good movie. If you ever get a chance to
watch it, I I mean, it, it pretty much just it really hits
home as far as I mean, the stuffthat we've learned back in the

(01:19:06):
50s and 60s, how, you know, segregation even like, I mean
the segregation and like there'sAI mean there's a scene, which
again, I'm not really giving anything away, where Whoopi
Goldberg is with the children that she's watching, the white

(01:19:26):
children that she's the nanny ofand they're at a park and a cop
accosts her. Like, what are you doing here?
You're not supposed to be here. I don't care who you're
watching. And so they basically kicked her
and the kids out of the park. You know what I'm saying?
But it's I'm like, yeah, that it's again, it's a really good

(01:19:49):
movie. Yeah, but like I said, it's
starting and it start things aretrying to are are starting to
put breath back that way and that you know what Cheetos.
I kind of feel I don't, I have alot of confidence that we're, I
mean, and again, we can only do so much, but I feel that we

(01:20:15):
could only let things go so far,you know, I don't, I feel that.
Absolutely right there. But The thing is, nobody is
doing anything about what's going on.
I mean you they are they. They're we can't say that nobody
is doing anything. Well, we, us protesting,
everybody's protesting and, and we and we and we go to our

(01:20:39):
rallies and we do the protest thing, yadda yadda yadda.
But I I I do not think that they're.
Not stopping. You know there's not stopping
this. He's bombing other countries.
Nobody. Why didn't that get fucking
stopped? Like you bombed, you literally
bombed another country. That's an act of war that nobody

(01:21:03):
signed off on. You should not have nuclear
access to do things like that without any repercussions.
And this man bombed another country with no repercussions.
Nobody said, hey, that is that'san act of war.
You about to send us into a global a, a, a global freaking

(01:21:25):
catastrophe. You know what?
He he should have been impeached.
He should have been snatched from office.
Oh, but you know, no, we can't do that.
The the court systems are all like, well, whatever he does,
you know, he can do because we don't want to get in trouble.
You're the court system. Who's supposed to stop them?
Because Congress isn't stopping them.

(01:21:46):
The court systems are under his thumb.
The man is doing whatever he wants.
He's constant now he's got the National Guard up and and in
place and, and that's, that is just a stepping stone.
The National Guard being in DC is a start.
And if this should continue, Chicago's next then New York, he

(01:22:08):
will be placing the National Guard in all of our major cities
and, and, and once martial law is set, we're done.
But nobody. Scott, he did try.
He did try putting in Marshall. He did try putting in National
Guard in California. Right.
But the general, the general whowas in charge, said fuck you.

(01:22:31):
Well, so did the the governor. Though too.
Yeah, and. That general, that general told
him. I mean, the general told him.
You must be out your mind if youthink I'm going to have my
troops set place there, you know, aim at fucking American
citizens. What's wrong with you?

(01:22:53):
You know, remember, but nobody remember.
We need more people to stand up and do that, you know?
Remember, Kamala Harris predicted this.
Not even predicted, said this iswhat's going to happen.
And. Yep.
And and people were you're wrongthis that whatever.

(01:23:13):
I've even said this on Facebook.Hey, Kamala, Kamala, Kamala
Kamala predicted this and you still voted the other way.
She said he's going, she said she said he's going to turn the
military against you. She said it many times.

(01:23:34):
She's a lament, lamented that and.
Oh, look. Here we are, not even a full
year into his term. He's already done it.
Not even a full year. Only eight months in.
We are, thank you. 8 months and what, 8 months and seven days

(01:23:54):
in? He's already he's already done
that. OK, Now, I mean, again, we could
go through the list of things hehas done as far as trying to
erase black history from history, trying to re wants to
rename sports after Civil War southern.

(01:24:18):
Like, wow. I mean, OK, whatever.
That's like, you know who who remembers losers.
Exactly. He wants to bring back
segregation or No, No, I'm sorry, let me rephrase that.
He wants to not make segregationillegal.

(01:24:40):
Yeah, That that's the better wayto put it.
So he wants that. What else does he want?
Oh, he took the, the flags, the Native American flags, removed
them from Arizona State Capitol.He has done that, brought the
military to DC. Oh, he has.

(01:25:01):
And it's funny when I say he hasignored the Constitution and
people try to debate me on that.I'm like, you don't then you,
you don't know what the fuck's in the Constitution.
Why are you, Why are you even talking to me?
You know what I'm saying? It's like he's how has he
ignored the Constitution? I'm like, you ever heard of this
thing called due process? He has taken he has taken people

(01:25:23):
and shipped them to, you know, deported them without due,
without due process. And I've only said this who are.
Here legally, people that are here legally and have no
criminal record. Yeah, so that's killing me
'cause he's snatching people arecriminals that he's snatching

(01:25:44):
from work and from schools. Really.
You're supposed to be departing criminals, but sure, your ice
ages are scoping out the schoolsand the work.
Scary. The.
Biggest criminal we have is sitting in the fucking White
House. And on top of that?
And on top of that, we're. Still also what he's also doing

(01:26:08):
is he's also taking credit for Washington DC being safe when it
was already that when it's already at a 30 year low in
violent crimes. So let me get this.
Straight. However, they have proven hold.
On let me finish this right quick because this is the
important part of what I was about to say.

(01:26:30):
He's so he's taken credit for that, which he doesn't.
But when it comes to something being wrong, he does not take
credit for everything. Is blame Biden.
Biden hasn't been in office for God knows how long.
And I'm like, OK, well, what about inflation?
What about the tariffs? I got people that are calling me

(01:26:51):
asking me why are items from China more expensive than they
were five months ago? I'm like, are you not paying
attention to the politics? Of last gas heel 5 almost 4-5
dollars a gallon. Also, he had told the media that
get that in five states, gas prices were under 2, under
$2.00. I have yet to find a state that

(01:27:13):
was under that. So he fucked up and lied on that
or he's probably suffering from dementia, that he doesn't know
how numbers work. But yeah, so I just wanted to
say that he he is, he has taken credit for the low crime rate in
DC. When I'm like, hold on a second.
That should be the police commissioner, the mayor and the

(01:27:36):
citizens of DC. He has not given either of those
people credit because let's faceit, it's a black mayor and she's
a woman. Why would he?
Why would her? Would he?
Oh, and by the way, I'm just going to say this because I
don't give a fuck who's listening.
He's a racist. OK, Let that shit be known.
I'm sick and tired of white people defending him.

(01:27:57):
I'm sick and tired of black people being like, Oh no, he's
not racist. Well, tell me what he has done.
Tell me what he has done for youlately.
Yeah, Snoop Dogg like. Snoop Dogg is now Did you hear
the latest on Snoop? I have.
Yeah, so I don't know if we wantto talk about his Trifon ass,
but. So, so my thing, my, my issue

(01:28:19):
with that is number 1. I just remember when we always
talk about what we have been binge watching.
Well, I've been watched the L word and he's on the first
season of that. So what is there to explain?
What is there to talk about? We just don't like sinners.

(01:28:41):
So I agree with you with Snoop. And on top of that, it's like
you are who are you pandering to?
You know what I'm saying? I'm like, dude, does he have an
identity crisis like Kid Rock? Like, do they need to do a song
together? You know what I mean?
So as far as Snoop goes, it's like, OK, he, I don't think he

(01:29:03):
did it himself any favors to theBlack community when he
performed for Trump at the, you know, so I kind of find it
stupid. But, you know, I guess Snoop
felt like, hey, I'm going to geta seat at the table.
You know, I can understand getting a seat at the table, but

(01:29:24):
it's not really a table. You want to see that?
Yeah, yeah, that that's you're right.
No, you are who you hang out with.
That's always been my my little motto and mantra.
And you know, it's just I'm very, I mean, again, we're,
we're not even a full year in, ladies and gentlemen.

(01:29:45):
And like we've said on the show,embrace the chaos.
I cannot wait to, you know, he'sgoing to mobilize the military
and big city. I don't think New York is going
to even stand for it. We already have military guys
walking around our major subway platforms and what have you,

(01:30:07):
Madison Square Garden. I know I've seen guys with
assault rifles just, you know, doing their thing, standing the
ground and whatnot. But I don't feel that we need
the, we don't need the National Guard here.
This is New York. We could take care of our own,
and we have. Been, but you see that You see
that there's. Some.

(01:30:31):
Black neighborhoods are startingto form their own armies well.
Black Panther groups are coming back.
Well, yeah, it's a, it's not a Black Panther group, but they
the guys who wear purple and gold.
Have you seen them? Guardian Angels.
Yes. Yes, guardian angels.

(01:30:51):
All black, right? Actually it's not all black, I
think it's like purple ish. No, no, no.
It's all that's about. They're all black.
Black nationality. All black nationality.
OK. They're wearing purple and gold
and I watched like several videos of these guys and they
are mobilized, They are working out.

(01:31:13):
They are. They got these guys like doing
boot camp shit and teaching themto shoot, teaching them to
fucking. They're they're working.
They're. They're getting them ready,
They're getting them ready and there's hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of them and they had them like lined up.
They would lined up military style like 4 deep.

(01:31:37):
They were like 4 guys across andit went for about two blocks all
the way around, all the way downthe street and around the
corner. And they were all like like
sounding off, chanting, you know, as they were all in line
marching and I'm like, holy shit, what the hell.
And now these guys are. This is what our world is coming

(01:32:02):
to, you know, it's like it is. It is.
And I'm like, and it, it's scaryto see or to even think that we
would need to do this now, you know, but.
I I think that The thing is I think.
Nobody's going to, nobody's going to going to stand there

(01:32:27):
and let another race of people just walk over you.
We are. We are.
It's not like it's not like it was 400 years ago.
We had no education and we didn't have any way, any way to
defend ourselves. Now we have the means to do the

(01:32:48):
same thing that you got to do. If you you.
Got a gun? I can get a gun.
You know, You got education. So do I.
You know what I'm saying? You can mobilize.
Hell, we're smart enough to mobilize ourselves also.
So it's not like they're they'reat a disadvantage.
It's just the numbers. Yeah, I mean, I think the

(01:33:09):
biggest problem though, I mean the biggest, biggest problem are
the people that are OK with what's going on.
Yes. That that doesn't, that does not
help at all. I've had, again, I've had
people, oh, he's doing such a great job.
And I'm just like, well, how? And the only answer that I get,

(01:33:32):
I'm not even joking. It's not even about the economy.
It's not even about this. It's not even about that.
They say the one thing that he is fixing the borders.
That's it. He is.
He is doing the one thing he campaigned on and that's fixing
the borders and that's deportingthese illegal criminals out of

(01:33:54):
this country. That's what he's doing.
And I'm like, OK, sure. Inflation up.
You know it was low when Biden was in office.
You know what? And you know what's funny is at
what point in time you tell me, at what point in our history did

(01:34:21):
we ever say that these illegal aliens are destroying Not once
with with violence. You see what I'm saying?
Do you see? What I'm saying?
It's like it's all of a sudden it's like, oh, they're
destroying the country with violence and killing people and,
and I'm like, wait a minute, who?

(01:34:42):
Mary Ann Mary Ann, Do me a favor.
Remind me how many school shootings we've had?
Up to now. This year 2. 142. 242 None of
them 200. And 42 OK, so I couldn't None of
them are illegal aliens. So none.
What are we now? What are we doing about that?

(01:35:06):
242 Mind you, we're not even AT3242 school shootings this
year alone. What are we doing about not not
again? We just had one in Minnesota
today. OK, why isn't now?

(01:35:27):
Again, we've talked about schoolshootings on this podcast to a
blue in the face. So I'm not trying to like rehash
or recap, you know, but at the same time, it's like the last
time I checked, these were certifiable.
Crazy ass blue blooded Americans.

(01:35:50):
OK, yeah, why are you telling me?
Not you. But of course, why am I being
told that the president of the United States of America is
going to get rid of all these criminals, these illegal aliens,
but yet the Proud Boys, the KKK,the hate groups are not being

(01:36:13):
investigated? Why not?
Oh, is it because that's his base and that's who he's voting
for. So why disrupt the base?
At least tell me that. At least tell me that's the
reason why people are afraid to step to him.
You know what I'm saying? At least tell me that.

(01:36:36):
Will I respect you more? No.
But at least you're telling the truth.
I'm just. I would love somebody to stop
beating around the Bush and justsay, look, I'm a racist.
I don't like different people. And you know what?
I I'll be like, OK, maybe that'show your dad made you out to be.

(01:36:59):
Because, again, hate. Is taught.
It is OK. Very much so taught, yeah.
I was trying to look. I was trying to look for, I, I
saw a post earlier we were talking about how he's sending
the National Guard into Democratic states, however, and

(01:37:21):
he, he's quoting and stating that the reason he's doing that
is to bring down the crime and get him under control and take
care of things. And yet the five states with the
highest crime rates, we're just talking about Alabama, like #1
red states, all of them are red states.

(01:37:44):
Red states have the highest crime rate in the country.
Now, just just so we're clear, because we don't want to just
say stuff like we're, we're not,not that we're pulling this out
of our asses or anything like that.
What's the source that you're getting that from?
If you if you can share that? I got to I, I got to try and
pull it back up. I got to take a look because it

(01:38:06):
was, it actually had a statisticon there.
I'm going to see if I can Fact Check that, but OK, it and it
and it tracks because stop and think about it.
Hold on. The other thing that they share
in common, besides being a red state, they're also the poorest
states. And we know that poverty drives

(01:38:29):
front. So I guess Mississippi will be
so. You take a look at the
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama,all these states that have the
the lowest income. Yeah, yeah, Tennessee, Kentucky,
I believe are probably in there.I'll take a look.

(01:38:50):
But they were all like the the five states were kind of right
there in that that red zone and they have the highest crime
rate, the lowest education. They also have the lowest and
and education also is between that is going to directly
impact. We've mentioned that and so if

(01:39:15):
you have so, yeah. So if you really wanted to make
America great again, you would invest in education and
opportunities for these low income areas and regardless of
what the national or the races of the people that live in those
areas, you would invest in thosecommunities and give them

(01:39:37):
opportunities. You know he ain't doing that.
Fuck no, because he's too busy lining his own pocket and riding
riding on the back of these low income people to make it his
profit. I, I don't believe, I don't
believe in the, the, the make America great again mantra

(01:39:58):
because I'm like, that means that Once Upon a time America
was great before. And I'm like, can somebody
remind me when, when was this? When was America great?
I can tell you when 1985, when the Bears won the Super Bowl,
that was a great year. OK, I was 4.

(01:40:19):
I wait, was Reagan the presidentthen?
Was He was. Yeah.
Was it OK, So the Reaganomics, OK, I, I, I really, I mean, when
was it even? How about this?
When was it close to great? I mean, not bears.

(01:40:40):
Won the Super Bowl. I I can tell.
You for me, when America was great.
I can actually tell you it was from birth to about fifth grade,
6th grade. Now.
What is it that you have to start taking?
Yeah, about 6th grade. 5th grade.
That's when I had to start earning money to actually, and I

(01:41:03):
was aware of issues in the world.
Oh oh. OK.
But up until then that's it's really right.
It's, it's to me, it's not abouta time in, in on the calendar.
It's a time in our own lives where we're unaware of, of like

(01:41:23):
the troubles that are outside our own door, right.
The only thing you care about iswhat what TV show you're going
to watch before you go to bed. Maybe worry about the clothes
you're going to wear tomorrow for school, but probably not
even that. You just want to be able to hang
out with your friends, watch TV and maybe eat some candy.

(01:41:45):
You know, that's it. You're not worried about any of
these big, huge issues. That's when America is great,
when you don't have to stress about all that shit.
And then it's not until you get older that you're aware that
maybe things weren't as great asyou thought they were.
What do you mean? Our family didn't have any
money. We're as poor as a church mouse.
I didn't know that we went without anything.

(01:42:07):
I mean, what we had was what we had, and I was accustomed to
that, right? It's not until you start getting
older that you start like getting awareness outside of
yourself, outside of, you know, your home, that people tell you
that it's not good, it's not great, you know, and it's not
really, you don't really understand how bad things are

(01:42:31):
until you get into your late 40sand 50s when you're completely
aware of this, of the politics at large that, you know, you go
from raising your family and surviving and doing everything
you can. Just you know that who cares if
the, if the economy crashed, I don't make enough money for it

(01:42:54):
to have zero impact on me. You know, it had no impact on me
whatsoever. It, you know, but now when
you're looking at things, now when you're, you're looking
outside of yourself, you're like, hey, wait a minute, things
aren't so good. And why is, you know, like
you're, you're used to the ebb and flow of the economy.

(01:43:16):
It goes up, it goes down. That's, that's the right, that's
the tide of the economy. It always has been.
But now all of a sudden you go, wait a minute, it's being
artificially inflated by things like tariffs and shit like that,
by people who are making money off of this.

(01:43:37):
They're making profits. They're making billions of
dollars of profits, but it sure as hell isn't us down here in in
the majority of America, right? But people are still falling for
this bullshit lies about thinking that America, he's
going to make America great again.
And I think even the idiots in the country are starting to go.

(01:43:59):
Wait a minute. My prices of eggs ain't gone
down. Nothing that you promised.
US had and. And we're looking at, we're
looking at things that are really getting bad, like, wait a
minute, who is going to pick thecotton?
Who is going to pick the fruit? Who's going to make the beds at
the hotels and shit like that? Who's going to help keep my
business? This is afloat, you know, these

(01:44:22):
small businesses that are payingthe price and people aren't able
to come in to afford them anymore.
Well, the thing. They're realizing we may have
made a mistake. Well, they, they have to because
first of all, first of all, in 20 when COVID hit is shut down,

(01:44:42):
a lot of the small businesses already, a lot of these small
businesses just started to come back up and now they have to go
away again. A lot of these small business
steps been struggling for these last few years and then this man
gets back in the office and now they're getting wiped out

(01:45:04):
because they're most of their staff or most of the people
that's been helping them have been targeted for deportation.
So they don't show up to work. They can't show up to work.
They will be targeted and deported should they come up to

(01:45:25):
work, unless they work for someone very wealthy.
Where he said don't worry if they if it's your maid or your
gardener or your employee, don'tworry, I won't come after them.
They'll be OK. And he said that to the one

(01:45:49):
percenters. To the one percenters, you don't
have to worry about your maid getting getting deported.
We won't come after them. OK, I want to.
I want to interrupt with this real quick because I just and
this is just came out. So we know that there was
another school shooting today. It was in Minneapolis and it was
at a Catholic school. The Minneapolis school shooter

(01:46:12):
has been ided as transwoman Robin Westman and apparent in
manifesto included killed Trump.The deranged gunman who
slaughtered two children and injured at least seventeen
others at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified
as a transgender woman, as disturbing videos posted by the

(01:46:32):
shooter or show a handwritten manifesto and killed Donald
Trump and for the children scrawled on gun magazines.
Robin Westman, formerly Robert Westman, opened fire through the
stained glass windows of a church at the Annunication
School Catholic school where he attended during a celebratory

(01:46:54):
back to school mass filled with children around 8:30 this
morning. Just hours before the Cowardly
massacre, Westman, 23, posted a series of twisted videos on
YouTube which included a manifesto Minneapolis Police
Chief Brian O'Hara confirmed at a press conference.

(01:47:16):
In 120 minute video, Westman flips through the disturbing
handwritten manifesto as much ofit is written in a homespun code
that uses Krillic characters andEnglish phonic words phonetic
words. In the deranged writings, he
gleefully fantasizes about beingthe that scary, horrible monster
standing over those powerless kids and reverently confesses

(01:47:42):
admiration for the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.
Westman applied to change his birth name from Robert to Robin
in Dakota County, Minnesota, when he was 17 years old,
according to court documents. That name change was granted in
January of 2020. The petition added that Westman
identifies as a female and wantsher name to reflect the

(01:48:04):
identification. But five years later, he decided
to have backed away from the identity.
I don't want to dress girly all the time, but I guess sometimes
I really like it. I know I am not a woman, but I
definitely don't feel like a man, he wrote.
I really like my outfit. I look pretty smart and modest.
I think I want to wear somethinglike this for my shooting.

(01:48:26):
He also goes into great detail about his decision to target
Annunciation, where he graduatedfrom grade school in 2017,
according to a yearbook obtainedby CNN.
His mother, Mary Grace Westman, also worked as a secretary of
the school till retiring in 2021, according to the Facebook
post by the church. And feeling good about

(01:48:52):
Annunciation. It seems like a good combo of
easy attack form and devastatingtragedy.
And I want to do more research. I have concerns about finding a
large enough group. I want to avoid any parents but
pre and post school drop off, another page reads.
Maybe I could attack an event atthe on site church?

(01:49:13):
He ominously scribbled. I think attacking a large group
of kids coming in from recess ismy best plan.
Then from there I can go inside and kill going for as long as I
can. Near the end of the video,
Westman flicks through a number of blank pages before reaching
what appears to be a drawing showing the inside of a church
saying ha ha nice. As he stops turning pages.

(01:49:36):
He then takes out a knife and stabs into the center of the
sketch, his hand momentarily quivering before he would draw
across the blade and politely Mumbles Kill myself In the video
titled So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, Oh my God, God
what? So Long and Thanks for all the
fish is a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the

(01:49:58):
Galaxy. Westman slowly turns the pages
of the red notebook, which is laid out on top of what appears
to be a schematic gun diagrams of one of them reading Ruger
Mark 4A type of small caliber pistol.
As he flips the pages, an occasional plume of smoke is
seen from the bottom of the screen, punctuated by coughs

(01:50:20):
destroyed cursing in the end manacle, giggling.
Each page is filled with inscrutable handwriting bugger
roll, which includes violent ramblings such as.
I have had thoughts about mass murder for a long time.
I'm very conflicted with writingthis journal.
The text translated by the post reads in part.
I need to get my thoughts out without getting on a watch list

(01:50:42):
ha ha. So he did this murder today.
The journal contains a number ofother sub old clues about
Weston's identity, hinting at anangry mling of far left politics
and anti-Semitism. One page includes a trans pride

(01:51:04):
flag sticker with defend equality printed across the
bottom with a black AK47 stickerlaid on top.
So I mean this this article goeson and it has a bunch of photos
of this person and. What the fuck?

(01:51:30):
It's you know what's very concerning to me?
This is so upsetting when you find out that it was a trans
woman is how fucking difficult it's already been for the trans
community and and the LGBQT community and how this is just

(01:51:54):
going to give so much more fuel to the fucking nightmare in
office is his charge against us,the people and against God.
I mean, this is, it's very scaryand I, I don't say this often

(01:52:19):
or, or I'm definitely not sayingit slightly.
Please pray for the LGBTQT community because this is going
to be the. Yeah, it's going to take them
back. A few steps.
Whatever progress they have theyhave been having in that
community, this is going and to this is going to regress a lot

(01:52:42):
of their momentum, a lot of their momentum moving forward is
going to be taken back especially with especially with
senior Cheeto in in charge. So senior.
Psycho. So we do wish that community the

(01:53:06):
best and hopefully somebody. It's going to increase a lot of
violence against that kid. It's going to be.
A bunch of fucking rednecks out there or just fucking idiots
that are going to. Go on a hate spree.
Oh yeah, they're going to go on a hate hate spree for sure.
And they're going to be, it's going to be a.
Liberal. Attacking them.

(01:53:27):
It's going to be a lot of violence.
It's so completely and totally, you know, oh.
Yeah, it could be the beginning of something like not so great,
you know, as yeah, yeah, this. Does this help that community?

(01:53:50):
No, you know, the fact like, I didn't even know it was a
transgender person that did this.
I just. I read it, I just read it and
you know, this is this is the second transgender woman who has
done a mass shooting like this. And and and The thing is though,

(01:54:10):
is this. But you start and think, what
were those things that I said earlier?
242 those out of that was two were transgender women, the rest
of all them men. But the transgender community is
going to be the ones that are going to be assaulted.
And well, I mean, not for nothing, they're already, that's

(01:54:33):
already happening in India. More so, though, and it's going
to be more. We've we've talked about in the
past about the transgender. We've talked about how
transgenders in Chicago are being treated.
I remember we talked about a transgender who was murdered and

(01:54:53):
found in the trash in, in a dumpster.
I, I there's been it's. Really sad.
Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's very sad because it's just like
they're not being looked at as as human.
They're not being looked at as people.
No saying no. I you know, here's the.

(01:55:13):
Question. Here's the here's here's kind of
my question. How the fuck do you know?
Like how the fuck does anybody know?
And who cares? Like, how does it have any
impact? This is what I don't understand.
I don't understand at all. Like these people who are
fighting against gays and lesbians getting married, these

(01:55:36):
people who are fighting against the transgender, how does it
impact them in the slightest in any way, shape or form?
How does it impact their lives at all?
Well, here's the thing. Impact them.
Good question. Definitely a good question.
It it indirectly they feel like it does directly it doesn't.

(01:56:01):
Because when I hear this is whatI hear, well, I don't want
somebody who's not supposed to be in the bathroom being in the
bathroom with my daughter or son, whatever.
Fuck, your daughter and son don't know the difference, OK,
They're not going to ask. They're not going to give a
shit. They're going to zip up their
pants and walk right out of the bathroom without even washing

(01:56:23):
them. That's you know, that's what's
going to happen. And.
Are you watching them? Are you watching them?
Like. And here's the thing, you know,
if you really want to deal with the pedophiles, why the fuck did
you elect one for the president,right?
If you really care that much about protecting children and

(01:56:43):
young young people, why the fuckdid you elect a pedophile?
Yeah, and that, and that's a catch 22 in that situation,
you're going to sit there and, and, and, and and think, oh,
think of the children when you're like, well, you didn't
think of the children when thesethere's people coming out saying
that this man sexually assaultedthem.

(01:57:04):
Yes, A. Lot and you're not saying
anything. There's a list out there with
his name on it and you guys wantto say, well, that hasn't been
proven really. If you're trying to hide
evidence of your own incrimination, you are going to

(01:57:26):
do the things that he has done. Didn't Pam Viney said that that
shit was sitting on her desk? Now all of a sudden it's not
there like these. The thing about this particular
administration is they think that their base is stupid.
And guess what? They're.
Not wrong, they're not. Wrong her name.
Is not. I didn't.
See the count on. It.

(01:57:48):
You know, and again, I'm pretty sure there's some people on the
other side whose name is on thatlist and you want to know.
What I say to that? Get them both.
I don't. Get all of them.
If you are on that list, get every fucking one of them.
I don't give a fuck if you're mybrother.

(01:58:09):
I don't give a fuck if you who you are.
If well, what if it if Obama wason there?
Well for fuck's sake, if Obama was on there, fry his ass.
If fucking. Oprah was on there.
Fry her ass too. Fry every motherfucking one of
them. It's.
Easy for me to say. Fuck all those people if they're

(01:58:30):
touching kids. I mean, they're you don't get a
pass, you don't get a. Pass No, there's that's that is
the one that right there is an unforgivable sin, an
unforgivable crime. And I don't care who you are,
you know, put them. 6 But I think I think the reason.
If you've touched. That the reason why they don't

(01:58:53):
why they have not released the files is because his name is on
it. Which is weird because there's
photos of him hanging out with Epstein.
You know what I'm saying? Let me, let me ask you this this
Do you guys have photos of hanging out with known
pedophiles? I know I, I know I don't.

(01:59:14):
Oh, wait, hold on, hold on. Unless you're asking me if I
have, I do have some pictures offamily photos of the pedophile.
That's I told you, my cousin. I didn't know that.
No, I've told you that. I told you, John.
Oh, I will talk about it later. But the one that, you know,
tried to rape me. Oh yeah, you told me the.

(01:59:36):
One that tried to rape me. OK then found out I that was not
a good idea when I. I'm talking about, you know,
like people like I. Hang out with them as friends
and go be around them? Hell no.
I, I, I? No, exactly, because that's all
I need for my career to torpedo,you know, not even at a 45°

(01:59:59):
angle. But it's not.
Even about that, it's not even about a career.
It's even about your life. Your life?
What kind? Of a person, would you think?
That's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about that too.
Life with torpedo. Because, you know, I guess I'm,
I'm man. There's no excuse for it,

(02:00:20):
there's no rhyme or reason for it, but there's people that are
supporting. That are supporting the bully.
As a matter of fact, he's a huge.
Bully, he's a bully and he lovesto to hurt people that are
weaker and smaller than him. And that's what he gets off on.

(02:00:41):
It's not just that they're kids.He gets off on the fact and, and
this is the thing, it's not about sex and people get things
like rape confused with sex. It's about power.
It's about power. It's about being able to take
something from somebody that they don't want to give somebody
who's young and innocent. And he is taking that from them

(02:01:03):
and he is, he is lording that over them because he has that
incredible. I can because I, I run the
pageant. I can just walk in there and say
that I'm inspecting. You're not doing a pageant for
women and you're doing it for girls.
And by the way, stop fucking calling them underage women.
An underage woman. There is no such thing.

(02:01:25):
There's no such thing as an underage woman.
It's called a girl. And you don't ever call them
underage men. They're not.
They're children. They are not of age.
They are not of consent and they're 13 and 14 years old and
you go in there and are selection sexually harassing
them and intimidating them and scaring them.

(02:01:47):
And raping them. And then raping them.
Yeah, because the girl actually came out and said, well, he.
Raped. Me.
He raped me and and and and. Oh, his child, you don't know
what you're talking. About You should be fucking.
You should feel fucking lucky tobe fucking raped by him.
Yeah, you should go. Yeah, you should be fucking
lucky that you lost your virginity to someone like Donald

(02:02:08):
Trump. I was like wow, what the fuck?
Yeah. But it's but yeah.
And it's. Not just, there's a lot.
Of people there's a lot of people like on that side that
are being that are being indicted for, you know, assault,

(02:02:28):
sexual assault there's even the senator in Utah who had given
his family member leniency on a rape that he had committed to a
underage girl. So, you know, there's that,
there's even some, and I'm and I, and I'm usually good at
remembering names, but there's some people that are being

(02:02:51):
removed from office because they've been found out that they
have Kitty porn on their laptop or they're exchanging text
messages with under it. You know, and again, I'm not
saying it's, it's the, it's the right doing it, but there's a
lot of, you know, evidence of that happening.

(02:03:12):
I'm pretty sure the left is doing the same thing as well.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying across the board it's fucking
disgusting. Right.
And The thing is that, which is that the powerful like to hide
into the shadows. They they like to, you know,
like stop and think about these people who are doing, you know,
again, it's for that power, thatrush of being able to do that.

(02:03:36):
And it's it it and it is like very disgusting, but.
The. Problem is, is that we are
believing the violators instead of the violated, instead of
these innocent people that are saying hey this happened to be

(02:03:57):
like look at Nazer the Olympic. He wasn't a coach, he was an
Olympic Dr. that raped Simone. Biles and.
Went to the other gymnast he what he raped Simone Biles and a
bunch of the gymnasts. All these girls got raped by him

(02:04:17):
and they talked about it. In fact, who was the football
coach that raped his, his, the guys on the team and they told
they came forward and, and the community in the town said, oh,
but he's such a great coach. He, he.
Brings so much money. To our school, I think that's
probably one of them. Sandusky out of Sandusky is POY

(02:04:39):
Yes, yes. And so these.
They got on Joe Paterno for turning a blind eye to it, and
yeah, oh, it was nasty. A lot of.
Them turned a blind eye. A lot of them turned a blind eye
because these people, well, they're, they're but you know,
they said they didn't do it. Yes, but of course they said no,

(02:05:02):
they didn't do it. But did you see the 40 girls
that said he did do it? And you, you ignored all of
them. You called them liars.
You ignored them. Oh, he wouldn't possibly do
that. He couldn't possibly.
And then you. But these are, you know, they're
saying that's what they're screaming about.
Like with the trans people. I don't want these trans women

(02:05:25):
in the bathroom with my daughters.
And then they find these motherfuckers are the ones that
are leading the churches that are the church youth groups that
are screaming the loudest about I don't want these trans.
And they're, and they're they. Oh wait, they got busted
molesting little girls. Oh yeah.

(02:05:46):
So it's all you know, It's just fucked up.
It's fucked up. It's very disturbing.
It's very disturbing. It's.
Very, it's very gross that we have that kind of leadership.
Mind you, not a, not a, you know, if you think like, like,

(02:06:07):
show me where this administration is bringing the
country together. Oh my God.
No, wait a minute. This.
Administration has never wanted.Show me something.
Together. Ever.
The entire point. Well, hold on, hold on.
If you want to know, he's bringing the racist together and

(02:06:29):
bringing them out in in. Droves.
He's allowing them to speak freely, which I'm glad he's
doing. I'm not going to lie, I'm for
it. I am for all these people who
have been hiding all their racist sensitivities, I'm glad
they're I really am. Like I'm like, thank goodness

(02:06:50):
that somebody is able to let these racist people finally say
how they feel because we they'vebeen among us the whole time.
And now it's like, you know, N word this and N word that and
moon cricket this and went back that and it's like, you know.

(02:07:14):
I fucking love moon cricket. Same here same here my my my
favorite slur but it's like. I'm a steal, that one.
I don't ever. See that it's it's a slur it.
Sounds. Like the fact that it you know
that that people are first of all, freedom of speech.

(02:07:36):
Go ahead. But if you This is why I'm not,
I don't live on Facebook. I don't live on Instagram, I
don't live on these social because there's a lot of just
straight up negativity, straightup, you know, hate people and
and some people do it anonymously, which I'm just
like, that just makes you even abigger pussy, a bigger coward.

(02:08:01):
I'm like, if you're going to hate hate.
I do this podcast and I talk about all the things that I see.
I mean, yeah, I I'm not going tohide behind the fact that, you
know, of the I'm the things thatI say about mobile AL Hey,
nothing, nothing. There's some good, there's some
good people everywhere, but for the most part, the shit that
I've read, there's a lot of, there's, there's just a lot of

(02:08:25):
racial tension and, and, and people are just, you know, they
just, and, and, and again, they're free to say whatever
they want. And then when I look at their
profiles, I'm like, I sometimes will click on their profile just
to guess where they're from. And nine times out of 10, I am
right about the region by a couple of states.

(02:08:45):
I am right. Whenever it's somebody from
California, I'm like, oh, that'sa surprise.
But you know, it's, you know, people just hate for the sake of
hating. And I am just like, hey, I am
all for freedom of speech. I'm all for people speaking as
it is because that tells me you are somebody I do not want to

(02:09:07):
hang with. So, you know, with that being
said, let's change the subject to something more current.
And that is I did think, Nope, go ahead.
The highest crime rates states US violent crime rates it's

(02:09:27):
finally #1 New Mexico, Alaska, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee.
OK, so I know Memphis has a veryhuge crime rate, and I'm pretty
sure it's enough to carry that state.
Alaska's a big surprise. I did not think Alaska was like

(02:09:49):
that, and neither New Mexico. I just had a friend who went to
New Mexico and she said she did not like it there.
She went to Albuquerque, she said.
She did not. Like Albuquerque, Louisiana.
But Louisiana doesn't make sense.
Yeah, because because New Orleans Once Upon a time had a
big murder rate. So that makes a lot of sense.

(02:10:15):
Arkansas. Actually comes in as having the
highest motor vehicle theft rate, which we already knew that
who. Was that?
Washington State. My state.
Oh, really? OK, yeah, Oh yeah, it has been
for a while. Because of the way our laws work
here, for sure. And they don't they they don't

(02:10:37):
fuck. Kyle can tell you that his car
was stolen twice. And that was a few years ago.
That was like. I had a friend.
I had a friend who had her Saturn stolen twice in Auburn.
Twice. The Federal Way, Auburn is a bad
place for a car. Yeah, yeah.

(02:11:02):
Washington state has the highestfor, for that because we don't
prosecute. Yeah, we don't prosecute and we
don't. They don't.
Chase them. They don't chase them.
You steal a vehicle, they they don't chase you.
Yeah, yes. So how do we go from this?

(02:11:26):
This has been a very, I want to say like depressing, like no,
but it's a, it's a, it's been a real podcast to I mean, this
time it's been today has been really real, just really talking
about what's going on in the world and the stress.
So what's what you been? Yes, let's let's kind of see if

(02:11:50):
we can salvage at the end and talk about our favorite thing,
our favorite conversation, whichis binge watching.
We've been, I just actually. Oh, go ahead.
No, you, you guys go ahead. We we just got to watch to
sinners who watched after the. Movie, yeah, we watched that
today for everybody kept saying sinners, sinners, Sinners with

(02:12:13):
Michael B Jordan. Oh yeah, yeah.
Have you heard of it? I have.
Have you seen it? I have not because I hear it's
long and I lately I haven't had the time to like really sit back
and watch it. It was that.
Long it was 2. Hours and 17 minutes.
Was it 2 hours and 17 minutes? I it didn't feel like it.

(02:12:34):
Was that long for a horror movie?
That didn't feel that long and it wasn't really like a.
Horror movie, but it was. It wasn't a horror movie until
what? Maybe the last half hour?
Yeah, Yeah, if that makes sense.It wasn't.
I didn't see it really as a horror movie.

(02:12:54):
It was actually really. Good.
It was almost like. If I hadn't.
Already. Gone if I hadn't already heard
about it and already knew what the the conclusion somewhat was,
you know that it was AI would not have seen that coming when I

(02:13:17):
was watching it. I would not have seen that
coming, right? It would have shocked me and so,
but no, that was not too bad. It was pretty good.
What was the other we did watch?We binge watch a little series
that came out and we're waiting for a season 2.
Oh, that was oh God, what was that?

(02:13:38):
Yeah, we just watched it. It was.
Oh oh. Waterfront.
Oh yeah. Waterfront.
The Oh my God, let me let me clue you guys in.
They cancelled the waterfront. There will be no season 2.
Netflix cancelled it. Oh my God, it was so good did.
You. I know I've Yeah, I've actually

(02:13:59):
that was one of the you did. No I've already watched it like
a month ago and Netflix had. And you were the one who's.
Recommended it. Yeah, Netflix announced that
they have cancelled. It didn't renew.
It no, I mean, also you got to keep in mind that Netflix is, I
think, bringing back the that mindhunters, I believe, and the

(02:14:24):
the father in Waterfront. He's in that show.
So I kind of think he might bounce back to that.
Show. So, but also that show was very
yeah, they and the thing about the waterfront was it was
actually top 10 on the Netflix. I mean, it had good ratings, but

(02:14:45):
they had. Yeah.
It was great. They cancelled that show.
They cancelled The Residence. There was another show that they
had cancelled. But yeah, I was, I was waiting
for Season 2 to come out as well.
And Netflix had announced actually yesterday that they
were going to count, that they were, that they had cancelled

(02:15:07):
the Waterfront. OK, I think that they they
announced that yesterday and I think that they're going to
change their mind because there's still a lot of people
watching it and there's still a lot of people that are going to
be like up uproar. I hope that I hope that's the
case, but. I was actually, I thought that
it was very similar in a lot of ways to Animal Kingdom, and not

(02:15:30):
just because the one actor played in both, but it was, it
was kind of similar. It was kind of similar, but it
was it was good. It was still a good show.
In which Animal Kingdom? We're on the final season right
now. We're actually just started
season 6. We've been watching that.
We take breaks from it every once a while, like OK, we need

(02:15:51):
to watch something else. We need to watch.
We need to watch Mom or something.
I thought my prediction for season 2, I thought that the mom
was going to run the business and the father I, I I think that
was just going to write him out because again, they're they're

(02:16:11):
bring, they're supposedly bringing back mine hunters.
So I figured he would go back tothat show and she would just run
it. I thought the mom was going to
be in charge. Yeah, that's.
What they said like that? Was the idea, but.
Yeah, I mean, they even alluded to that in the whole show.
They alluded to that in the final 15 seconds of the show and

(02:16:33):
and the fact that they did that and they cancelled it, it's
almost like, but also another thing that Netflix is kind of
going through, it's the cost of making these shows.
That's why the residents got cancelled because they said it
cost too much to make, you know,but the.
Show was so oh I did. It was good.

(02:16:55):
Yeah, it's I'm, I'm like midway through Season 1.
It is really, really good. How many seasons?
Are you? Just one.
Oh yeah. I don't.
Know just one. It's really good though I don't.
Want. To watch.
If it's really worth then. They're not going to bring it
back. It is worth the watch it.

(02:17:16):
Is worth the watch because even though I'm in the middle of
season 1, I'm like episode five in season 1.
I'm still going to be like, you know what?
Even though they canceled it andit's still on a streaming
service, I'm still going to watch Netflix because I'm paying
for it so I might as well watch it.
Oh, I got to try to, you know, here's a question.

(02:17:40):
You might know how to do this. OK, so I know things are done
differently everywhere, but I'm trying to get the NFL to watch
football right now. Some people say you can watch
football on YouTube. Do you know about this?

(02:18:04):
Yeah, I've watched a couple. Of.
Yeah, I've, I've done that a couple of times.
I have an app that I watch all the games that are not quite
regional, but it's like it'll give me like a choice from the

(02:18:24):
well here like a one O clock game and then it'll give me a
choice for the four O clock game.
But also I will get the Sunday night game and then I'll get the
Monday Night Football and the Thursday Night Football.
So. Yeah, and I only paid how?
Much was. The app, the app I only, I think
I paid like only $12.00 a month or something like that and I

(02:18:48):
just used it strictly for that. And then when the season is
over, I even watch the Super Bowl on it a couple of times,
but I watch all the playoff games.
I had cancelled it, but only because I've been watching some
preseason games that the club that I'm doing shows at.
So I've been so I'm going to getI'm going to get the app back

(02:19:11):
once the season comes back because again, like it only it
you know, I've even I've seen Seahawk games, you know, but I
watch all the games that that particular app allows me to see.
So like I said, they'll probablybe like 8 games on a four O
clock time window, but it'll only give me like 2 to choose

(02:19:35):
from. And even if it's not the Giants.
I'm wondering if. I'm sorry.
Well, I'm wondering. So so you said you got an app
that you got on your phone. I'm wondering if they have like
an because you're paying 1299 a month, right?
I'm wondering if I'm wondering if they do that on like, you
know, like on Netflix. So you got a window that says

(02:20:00):
NFL? I know that.
If I remember, I know Peacock, you know, they do the Thursday
night games because Peacock is associated with Universal, I
mean, not with Universal with GM.
So they're going to have some ofthose games on there.
And I know, I think to be, I know there's there's been some

(02:20:20):
announcements. Oh, no, I'm sorry, Amazon.
Amazon's going to be doing some of the football games as well,
but I think they're doing a lot of like the Thursday night games
and some of the prime time games, but.
I don't. OK.
Yeah, that's what they did last year.
Yeah, they did last year. OK, but.

(02:20:41):
You know you. Can't watch.
It's getting to the point where you you can't even watch.
Here's what fucking pisses me off.
Here's and I'm going to tell it say this straight out.
Fuck off for saying that you're a nonprofit organization and
then charging everybody to watchthe fucking games now.
Well, I don't know if it's them.I think it's really the the

(02:21:03):
people that are, or I shouldn't say people, but whoever's
carrying, whoever's carrying their games.
But for the most part, OK, somebody's profiting from that,
right? And the you can't be playing
paying players millions of dollars and then turn around and
making all kinds of, I don't know, you go look at my closet.

(02:21:26):
I probably have 5-6 different Seahawks shirts.
How is that nonprofit? These channels get the a lot of
these channels, they get these big time TV contracts just like
the NBA does with TNT and you know, whatever they.
Paid them somebody's footing thebill.

(02:21:49):
Yeah. And they're making a huge
fucking profit off of it, probably in the billions.
Oh, definitely in the billions. So.
Definitely. How is that a nonprofit?
Well, it's not, but again that that all the question becomes

(02:22:11):
like, how does that even a thingwho's doing it?
You know, it does the NFL have, you know, is there was there an
agreement or whatever? Like I could, I remember back in
the day, you could turn on CBS or Fox and the game is on.

(02:22:31):
Yeah. And that's it.
You know what I'm saying? You didn't you didn't have to go
through and you can still do that.
I mean, it's like I'm pretty sure if I go to my Pluto
television or whatever, I could watch a game without having to,
you know, I know and, and for meI can because I have it where I

(02:22:51):
could watch some of the games, you know what I'm saying?
You pay extra for that. No, I don't pay extra for that.
Actually, with everything on Pluto, I don't.
Only thing that I pay extra for is on Peacock and they've raised
the price for they, they're actually doing a price hike used
to be like 799. I think it's now going to be

(02:23:13):
like 11/12/99 or something like that.
So, but nonetheless, that's not going to stop me from watching
the games. You know, I don't I don't do I
believe that you should, you know, download an app so you can
be able to watch the games? No, but you know, I I can't get
mad at somebody who is or at a company who's like, hey, we're

(02:23:36):
going to make you pay for this because we know you want to.
All right, sure, fine. It's only four.
Months, in a way. Yeah.
Direct. Team did some of the the
packages just to be able to watch this.
Some of it's mad. Because what was it?
It was like a $90.00 a month, a month, like 8999 to watch it per

(02:24:00):
month so that you can watch the NFL.
I could see if like the they were playing the game in your
backyard. I.
Don't know, right? They were charging you that much
like, hey, we're going to play right in front of your house, we

(02:24:21):
need you guys to put up with twocouple of goal posts or
whatever. I can see they're doing that.
But nine, no, I would not pay $90.00 a month.
For $80. I would not do that.
And if anything, you know what? If I can't sit in my living room
and watch a fucking game that mytaxes are paying for the fucking

(02:24:43):
stadium and all the money that they're making for off of us,
and I can't watch it for free inmy living room as part of the
regular, you know what? I guess I just I'm done with
watching football. Oh no, I'm a fuck that.
I'm a fix it. I'll make something happen.
I mean like I'll make. No, we're not.
Even, you know, $90.00 a fuckingmonth so you can watch some

(02:25:06):
football. First of all, you don't
recognize who you're married to.I don't fucking pay for cable.
I've been stealing cable my whole life.
I know how to get around some. I, I I.
You better figure it out. I'll figure it out.
I'm gonna watch football. Goddamn somebody gonna pay for.
Football, I'm not watching it for free.
I ain't watching. When I travel.
It may not be for free. They fucking $90.00.

(02:25:27):
I might. I might because like I said,
like Jamal said, he's got he's got the app for 1299.
If I can do it for 1299 and I got to get my phone and I got to
get one of those cords to hook my phone to the TV, I'll do
that. You know what I'm saying?
Because you can. Do that right you.
Can miracaster your phone to theTV and again, it's like they

(02:25:50):
show commercials like every other.
It's almost like you're watching, you know, NFL on Fox
or NFL on. You're paying and you're
watching commercials. Some of them they kind of well,
some of them have and watching well, some of them have
commercials. Some of them will do like a

(02:26:10):
we'll be right back because there's a commercial break and
they won't show commercials, butit's live.
It's live NFL. So they got to, you know, do
something. So sometimes they'll just not
show a commercial, though. They don't even do that.
No, it's not that. It's they just.
Because it's not being broadcast.
You know. They're only showing with being

(02:26:31):
broadcast. Oh, OK, that's fine.
Exactly. But again, it's, it doesn't
change anything. I'm like, OK, I'm going to go
get another beer, use the bathroom or what have you leave
my phone station to where it's at.
But you know, I I'm, I'm. Getting over all of this
television shit to be watching agazillion fucking things like,

(02:26:53):
and it's just costing A4. It used to be 6 channels.
Now when you look at when you look at the, the channel, the
channel list, yeah, it's when you look at a channel list, it's
like 6000 some channels and like, and like 1000 of them is
music. And it's like like all of us.
I'm like what the hell You got? And then you got DIRECTV and

(02:27:17):
then you got you got pay-per-view and you got, you
know, Playboy channels and adults only channels and, and
they get all these how it. Started, but it's gone beyond
that now. I know because now you're
looking at Hulu. Yep, Netflix.

(02:27:37):
Hulu, Netflix, Prime, Amazon, that is.
They just came up with another one.
Paramount Plus, Paramount and then Paramount Plus.
Not the same thing. Just because you can watch
something on Paramount doesn't mean you don't have something on
Paramount Plus I. Mean, you know what?
Speaking of paramount, I don't think that.
Oh. He's there, yeah, I think.
Paramount is actually doing a they're doing football as well.

(02:28:01):
I think you could watch footballon Paramount for free.
That's that's cool. Paramount Plus, but I think if
you're doing it on Paramount Plus, you have to pay.
It's like a plus, plus or premium.
I mean, no, no, it's, it's, it'sa goal.
It comes with your with your package anyway.
Paramount or Paramount Plus? Paramount Plus.

(02:28:24):
Yeah, we got those, We got that.We got both of them.
So if you have that, you should be good.
Good, good. That's good to know.
Then I ain't worried about it. Did that's what I need to know
because I'm. I'm going to start checking all
of them because. Yeah.
Because I'm, I'm doing, I mean, I'm doing the same thing too.
I'm like kind of planning. I'm waiting till, well, the

(02:28:45):
preseason is pretty much about wrapped up.
Yeah, What? We got one more game.
Well, no, it starts on tomorrow night.
Is Thursday, right? Tomorrow night.
Is is Thursday, but no. But you know, remember, that's
what. I said yes, you can watch.
You can watch NFL games on Paramount Plus, but only those

(02:29:08):
broadcast on your local CBS station.
That's fine, That's fine. So that means you will.
Be able to see the You will still be able to see the
Seahawks, yeah. Without Q13 they used to.
That is going to be that is. That is OK.
Q13 was fox. Then you go to Pluto.

(02:29:30):
CBS is is channel. Five.
Well, you go to Amazon. Amazon do it.
Here's the thing, you guys, you guys will not have a problem
seeing any kind of out of marketlike, well, I should say out of
market games, but like the Seahawks, you will be able to
see them. No matter what.
Because usually whenever I travel, like I, of course I want

(02:29:52):
to catch my Giants. If I go to Seattle, I won't,
somehow I won't be able to catchthe Giants games.
So I have to basically kind of, you know, bite the bullet on
that. But again, at the same time,
that's fine because I have to, I, I, I, I do fantasy football.
So I still kind of keep up with what's going on with the games.

(02:30:15):
I, I really care about. So there's times if I'm
traveling like shit, I'm not going to be able to watch the
Giants game unless I fly on a Sunday and I'm in the airplane
while the game is going on. And sometimes I'll be in the air
watching my Giants or, you know,whatever.
But yeah, sometimes I can't get out of market games, but I

(02:30:38):
usually get like a bunch of regional games where I'm at.
So you're a Giants fan, not a. Yes, I'm a Giants fan.
OK. It'll be a long season, it'll be
a long season for us. It is every year.
Yep, exactly. Well, I think that's.
The best way? Yeah, they will.

(02:30:58):
Say MO. Yeah, that's the best way to
wrap this bad boy up next. Season.
Same. Yep.
Yep, ladies and gentlemen, that has been our episode.
Hopefully you guys have learned from it.
As Marianne always say, make good something, something.
Yep, choices. Yes, make good.

(02:31:22):
Please, for the love of God, make good choices.
And if, if, if you did not like anything we said about this
administration, and there's a lot to to unpack there, always
remember this. It is not about you.
Goodbye.
