Speaker 3: Yeah, some stuff caught on. Sweet Pussy Saturdays, fun time,

Speaker 2: I think you can. They wrote it at the bottom
Speaker 2: unless they're saying otherwise.
Speaker 3: Oh, I saw, Yeah, you're right, you're right. I saw
Speaker 3: at the top. Because a lot of the people, they
Speaker 3: act like we can't see their name at the top
Speaker 3: of the thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we have to scroll before we say it, just.
Speaker 3: To make sure. Yeah, but anyway, So Brie all right,
Speaker 3: Yeah this came from Brie since on July fourth, which
Speaker 3: is an interesting day to do anything other than eat
Speaker 3: hot dogs.

Speaker 3: I r l David loved the Patreon stuff and Langston
Speaker 3: I guess dot dot com. Wow, come on, why did
Speaker 3: they come at your neck like that?
Speaker 2: For a fuck you?
Speaker 1: Bree?
Speaker 2: I r l oh be doing nothing to nobody. How
Speaker 2: does he minded my fucking business, trying to make my
Speaker 2: little silly art and have fun with my friends. And
Speaker 2: here she come being like, I guess.
Speaker 3: You don't even have like mean opinions on here. I
Speaker 3: don't get anything. I say. The more outlandish thing.
Speaker 2: I'm on here that you have slur, but most of
Speaker 2: your slurs get cut out.
Speaker 3: And that's shout out to Justin by the way.
Speaker 2: Shout out to just our phenomenal editor who who doesn't
Speaker 2: often believe in the magic that he's doing, but he's doing.
Speaker 2: He's doing very magical things for us.
Speaker 3: He's kept me at the job because, let me tell you,
Speaker 3: I Will Ferrell got winded some of the ship I've
Speaker 3: dropped on here.
Speaker 2: Bory only knows slurs about the Swedes. And and we
Speaker 2: know how much Will Ferrell likes them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the problem. That's his name. Yeah, he does
Speaker 3: love them. I don't trust him too far north. All right,
Speaker 3: I read this scandalous longtime little mama here, curious about
Speaker 3: you guys' take on the black cop phenomenon. Hate him.
Speaker 3: I've noticed the that was not fair. I've noticed the
Speaker 3: black I've noticed the black cop character and countless white
Speaker 3: slash mainstream TV shows and movies Brooklyn, My Nine, I, Zombie,
Speaker 3: I Robot, Inside Man, Bad Boys, Beverly Hills, Cop, White Chicks,
Speaker 3: Criminal Minds, Training Day, et cetera, et cetera. Think about it.
Speaker 3: Your favorite black actor has probably definitely played a cop
Speaker 3: in something. My theory related to this is twofold. The
Speaker 3: media is trying to one make playing a cop character
Speaker 3: a prerequisite for black stardom and two normalized police brutality
Speaker 3: and further convince us that black cops are the ones
Speaker 3: doing the most violence against the general public. Curious what
Speaker 3: you guys think, bre.
Speaker 2: Damn well, I still hate your guts free, but I
Speaker 2: do this is this is a lot to think about.
Speaker 3: It is the way I want to jump my feet
Speaker 3: in the water. Is like I feel like, specifically, if
Speaker 3: you're like around our age.
Speaker 2: We.
Speaker 3: Grew up and this is like just a very general view.
Speaker 3: We grew up in a time where like police were
Speaker 3: really glorified within the media, maybe more like you look
Speaker 3: at like like I mean, there were always like cop
Speaker 3: television shows and shit like that, But I feel like
Speaker 3: in the seventies and eighties it was a lot less
Speaker 3: heroic than it was viewed in the movies of our time.
Speaker 3: I'll like, the the lethal weapons of it all, where
Speaker 3: like we grew up watching a lot of movies where
Speaker 3: they just killed a cops killed a shitload of bad guys, right,
Speaker 3: that's what they did. I was talking about leave the
Speaker 3: weapon with my friend the other day. It's like they're
Speaker 3: just killing people over and over again. So in that
Speaker 3: there are a lot of black men, black male actors
Speaker 3: who had to be cops. But I feel like they
Speaker 3: did it to a ton of white guys too. How
Speaker 3: many movies is Bruce willis a cop type guy? You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 2: A Gibson before we stopped.
Speaker 3: So like, I don't know if it is, at least immediately,
Speaker 3: it makes me feel like maybe it's not a black
Speaker 3: thing as much as it's like a time thing.
Speaker 2: But I do think that there's a very clear history
Speaker 2: in Hollywood of infantilizing police in general. Right that, like
Speaker 2: we're constantly making police sexy and cool and the guys
Speaker 2: that were meant to be rooting for. And I think
Speaker 2: that that's existed in entertainment for a long time. And
Speaker 2: then I do agree that there had there sort of
Speaker 2: like this big wave of a swaggering black officer, specifically
Speaker 2: black men I think had a big run in that
Speaker 2: nineties and two thousands of like being like the cool
Speaker 2: black cop who comes in and does the thing. I
Speaker 2: would say that I started this conspiracy gets me thinking
Speaker 2: about how recently a lot of what I've watched it's
Speaker 2: been black women being made to be police officers in
Speaker 2: a way that feels equally manipulative, although I haven't fully
Speaker 2: landed what the manipulation is yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wonder about it.
Speaker 4: I also am curious because I don't know the percentage
Speaker 4: of black people on the police force in a home.
Speaker 4: I have to assum it's it feels like a pretty
Speaker 4: high number. Oh really, you think it's like a substantial number.
Speaker 4: I would assumm, it's less than our percentage in the population.
Speaker 3: In the population, I think, I would. I would question
Speaker 3: where we're talking about. You don't feel like you see
Speaker 3: a lot of black cops in New York.
Speaker 2: But New York's not global like New York is its
Speaker 2: own like ship because like La, it's not like a
Speaker 2: fuck ton of black cops everywhere, and certainly Nebraska ain't
Speaker 2: churning them out. I would it's you know, at a
Speaker 2: high click.
Speaker 3: Right, But there's not a lot of black people that
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true. Man, there's black people
Speaker 3: in Nebraska. I don't mean to be like guy in
Speaker 3: the real world world. Oh there's a link thing.
Speaker 2: We're calling upon you because we have we have new merch.
Speaker 2: We have very exciting merch that we are now selling
Speaker 2: and it's it's fucking great.
Speaker 3: We love it. So much just sleek. It's sexy.
Speaker 2: Come on, you want to tell them what we have?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have three different types of hats, which is
Speaker 3: really fun. We have a two tone hat, an alien
Speaker 3: dad hat, the traditional logo in black and khaki. Then
Speaker 3: we have the enamel pin with an alien who has
Speaker 3: a koofie on it since my mama told me. And
Speaker 3: then we have t shirts that say proud little Mama,
Speaker 3: which is who you are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can buy the merch now, go to my
Speaker 2: mama told me dot merch table dot com. It's a
Speaker 2: brand new name, but it's the same old merch and
Speaker 2: we would love for you to get some if you
Speaker 2: haven't got it already, and we want you to have
Speaker 2: all the sweet stuff, so get it. I like what
Speaker 2: Brie is saying, though I still don't like breathe about
Speaker 2: the idea of sort of like presenting this this sort
Speaker 2: of image to the world. And I wonder if some
Speaker 2: of the manipulation that's being shown as Lee about like
Speaker 2: convincing them that black people are responsible for their own
Speaker 2: police brutality, but instead being able to feel safe in
Speaker 2: sort of like telling sort of these these complicated, often
Speaker 2: problematic stories where police are the heroes without feeling like
Speaker 2: you are elevating a white person beyond the law. Do
Speaker 2: you know what I mean That, Like, if you make
Speaker 2: it a black lady instead of a white man, suddenly
Speaker 2: her getting away with these crimes feels less like a
Speaker 2: true spin in the face to the victims of the
Speaker 2: crimes and more like this complicated dance of like you know,
Speaker 2: social expectations and shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I wish we had more facts about
Speaker 3: this one, because it is like, because I do think
Speaker 3: about if the idea of like I've seen like a
Speaker 3: lot of jolly black cops in media, right, like the
Speaker 3: raginal Vel Johnson's of you know, sure, but I don't
Speaker 3: think that in media, I feel like I see black
Speaker 3: cops portrayed as being more brutal than white cops.
Speaker 2: Yeah, except for Boys in the Hood and House Party,
Speaker 2: House Party that were white cops. But yeah, yeah, boys
Speaker 2: in the Hood, I would say, is maybe the most
Speaker 2: like black guy doing it to black people kind of energy.
Speaker 2: And that was kind of the point that Singleton was.
Speaker 3: Making, right, But for the most part, I think it's
Speaker 3: like the idea of like a Will Smith cop, right,
Speaker 3: you know, it's just cool black guy doing board cop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he is a fucking I beat this out
Speaker 2: of Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like it's like like I feel like
Speaker 3: I feel like the really, the really kind of fucked
Speaker 3: up cops is still most I mean, obviously there's like
Speaker 3: training day, but I think of like a like a
Speaker 3: McNulty or whatever from the white you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's still kind of like lots yeah
Speaker 3: white guys. But I don't know. But ultimately, I where
Speaker 3: do I sit on this? I think it's a good theory.
Speaker 2: I don't mind it me. Here's what I'll saying. I
Speaker 2: don't like Cops. I've been pretty blatant about it, I
Speaker 2: think throughout a lot of our episodes. But I'm not
Speaker 2: a fan of the work. I'm not a fan of
Speaker 2: the product of the work. I don't think that they
Speaker 2: hold any real value in our society in the way
Speaker 2: that they are often portrayed to hold. And so I
Speaker 2: do believe in a constant manipulation as it relates to
Speaker 2: making cops seem good or valuable despite all the evidence
Speaker 2: showing otherwise. And so like, yeah, if you tell me
Speaker 2: that they're making black people police because it helps push
Speaker 2: a narrative, I believe that.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with my man on this one.
Speaker 2: Same Yeah, so Bree, fuck you and fuck the I
Speaker 2: think is maybe the big takeaway here. And sure black
Speaker 2: police can get it too. Fuck y'all.
Speaker 3: Yep, and Bri you're a lovely woman. That's just my
Speaker 3: special August first, twelve dollars, no discount, no no, no,

Speaker 3: people what cool things you have going and where they

Speaker 3: get to jump in and say it, I like I
Speaker 3: like the way you.
Speaker 2: Brother, what's mine is yours, what's yours is mine?
Speaker 3: You do what you want. We should we should record
Speaker 3: an opposite day one day where you're David and I'm Lens.
