1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Barbecue

2

Speaker 1: Burnt trends that courtesy of the Discord. I'm Jack. That's

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Miles oh Man, I'd like some burnt hands. Actually, yeah,

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: I went to Uh, that's the first time a show

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: title just kind of derailed me for a second. And

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: speaking about food and monk, I need to eat anyway, Yes,

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: burnt ends delish that like mixture of like kind of

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: char with like the fatty of the bee. Man. I

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: can feel it, I can taste it. Uh. Let's talk

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: about what is trending, shall we? Okay, let's do that. Okay,

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: jay Z is trending. Uh. Today is his fifty feet birthday. Um,

12
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: it's also the fifty one year Fred Hampton is trending

13
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: because it's the fifty one year anniversary of his murder.

14
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: He was murdered by the FBI, which I started figuring

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: hearing about co Intel pro. Yeah, that's right. It's like

16
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: the government was identifying leaders who were fighting for anyway.

17
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: It's a that's that's a very interesting overlap. You'd think

18
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: that maybe you'd wish JA had a little bit of

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Fred Hampton in him. You would think maybe that NFL

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: decision would have gone a different direction the Fred Hampton's

21
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: So jay Z mentioned born on the day Fred Hampton

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: died and the song murdered excellence from Watch the Thrones. Uh,

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: but born on the day fred Hampton died, like saying

24
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: he died as a little bit a little passage. Yeah,

25
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: when he was assassinated by the spat learning. Well, at

26
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Jay has told people he's

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: a capitalist, you know, so you can't really expect much

28
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: from someone who's like entire careers, like, look, I'll take

29
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: three dollars and make it five billion dollars. That's my thing.

30
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: But Fred Hampton Jr. Was like this, called him slave

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: g or slave z and uh said that criticized him

32
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: for invoking his father's name, And that's saying he was

33
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: assassinated fair fair, fair Yeah yeah, jay Z though, Wow,

34
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: what what what a life? Young? And I think Fred

35
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Hampton died when he was a twenty one and I

36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: thought that he died he was murdered, assassinated when he

37
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: was twenty one years old, And that whole thing is murky,

38
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: is I mean, like, obviously we know the Chicago pe

39
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: murdered him and it was all coordinated under this program.

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: But my god, yeah, is it that talks about that

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: that was a concerted strategy to rob like the black

42
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: community of their leadership by assassinating them. Do they discuss? Man,

43
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: It's been so long since I watched thirteenth, but I

44
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: feel like it's any documentary talking about anything to do

45
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: with the push for racial justice passed to mention that

46
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: if you're going to be like responsibly describing the environment

47
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: where a black activists or operating in. Yeah, but just

48
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: the idea that it was systemic. Um. Hopefully they didn't

49
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: destroy all the documents so we can finally one day

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: just point to them and be like, see, are you

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: mad that Trump? Remember he said he had all these

52
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,279
Speaker 1: JFK documents he was going to release like early on. Yeah,

53
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: I whatever happened, they never dropped. I mean broken promises

54
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: made promises broken as we don't know. But yeah, I

55
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: do feel like that would have tainted it a little

56
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: bit because then you can't really trust anything that's coming

57
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: out from the Trump administration. Um. Also, I know who

58
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: did it now, Oh yeah, we already know. But anyway,

59
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: tune in next week for that. George Bush sr Um

60
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: Euphoria is trending Uh, they're dropping a two part holiday special,

61
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: which I think is an underrated move for TV shows

62
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: in the streaming era of errors taking a book out

63
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: of Like I feel like UK series do that. Yeah,

64
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: Black Mirror did it, and I had a couple of

65
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: really good episodes drop. Yeah. But it makes sense because

66
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: like in the streaming era era. In the streaming era,

67
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: the shows like Remember Making a Murderer came out like

68
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: I think it was over Thanksgiving break maybe and like

69
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: every Christmas I think two fifteen going into sixteen, Yeah,

70
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: and everybody was watched that. It coincided with me being

71
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: very dismissive of Donald Trump's campaign. I was like, yeah,

72
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: making more of that. Yeah, this guy was like, this

73
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: guy's got too many negatives. Don't worry. Don't worry guys.

74
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: Nate Silver says it's cool, but anyways, Uh, let's get

75
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: more holiday I I my understanding of the Euphoria Holiday

76
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: Special more melancholy than Mary. That's a direct quote from

77
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: the New York Post review of it. But how do

78
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: they go hand in hand at all? I mean, is

79
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: it is it meant to be a holiday special or

80
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: they're just doing something around this time and it's euphoria

81
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: content probably just but I mean, I guess if you

82
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: if you have a two episodes story arc, then maybe

83
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: you you're just like, why don't we drop it around

84
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: the holiday? Right? I couldn't imagine it's place during you know,

85
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: the holidays, and like these kids are like fucking drugged

86
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: out of their minds are like the dinner table and

87
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, but the holidays are a tough time for right,

88
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: But that's that's the best content to put out when

89
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: already like you're counteracting like a dark period for this

90
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: across the world, you know, But I don't know whatever,

91
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: it's like I'm saying euphoria is responsible for the well

92
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: being of earth. No, I blame you for your well yeah,

93
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: you're like, you're like that my neighbor who's six year

94
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: old woman who's always petitioning outside of our street with

95
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: the euphoria is the devil's work sign. But yeah, shout

96
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: out to anybody who's struggling with addiction. This is uh

97
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: when we usually see a big influx coming into the rooms,

98
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: people are happy to help. So yeah, it's not it's

99
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: not hopeless. There's people out there who are dealing with

100
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: the exact same ship as you, yeah, in a community

101
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: to help Yeah, exactly, weed is trending. We what what

102
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: why is weed trending? Oh? Man, weed, cannabis, th HC

103
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: more act, They're all trending. Because cong that House of

104
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: Representative side of Congress UH past a bill too, mostly

105
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: on party lines, UH, to help decriminalize weed. It's called

106
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, and basically saying

107
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 1: removing cannabis from the you know, federally Controlled Substances list

108
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: and then also facilitates canceling of low level federal convictions

109
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: and arrests that are related to marijuana. All so, it

110
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: creates an excise tax on cannabis sales obviously, like most

111
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: states that are doing it, legally directs the money to

112
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: be targeted to communities adversely affected by the War on Drugs.

113
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I like what is being set on paper,

114
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: but hopefully that will actually come into practice and as

115
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: well as um ads incentives for like minority owned businesses

116
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: to get into the cannabis market, because I think a

117
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: lot of the thing people talk about, especially around cannabis legalization,

118
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: is it's been such an illegal it's been a you

119
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: know banned substance. Uh, and people of color have taken

120
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: the brunt of it when it was you know, banned

121
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: substance or illegal, and now that it's there, we have

122
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: we cannot forget about like what the effects were on

123
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: this war on drug and the ability to allow people

124
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: to find an opportunity in these spaces too. So uh,

125
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens in the Senate, but

126
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Republicans are very much just looking at

127
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: it very narrowly as you can imagine, because anything that's

128
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: restorative to uh, you know, address any of the shortcomings

129
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: of policy is like, oh, are we gonna do just

130
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: give people free blank or let people out of jail

131
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: because we funked up and had barbaric drug policies and

132
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: a fucking war we love So is pretty like that's

133
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: pretty resounding, right, I mean it's on party Like they

134
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: did get five Republicans. Five Republicans came through to vote

135
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: with them, six Democrats said no. So I think those

136
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: that's it. That's a good sign to see like who

137
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: you're who's who's mobile in terms of going across the

138
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: aisle there. But yeah, it's I think like like most

139
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: people are seeing states are just sort of taking the

140
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: charge on their own now because they see that you know,

141
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: obviously there's still a huge piece missing on how to

142
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: correct like the restorative justice aspects of it and correcting

143
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: the drug war parts of it and the people have

144
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: been locked up when during prohibition of cannabis. From a

145
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: legislative standpoint, it's like it's a whole new revenue stream,

146
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: like just tax this ship and now we're we're creating

147
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: more revenue to do things. But it's really you want

148
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: these bills made that it's predefined. It's not like the

149
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: governor decides that this is part of a movement to

150
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: rehabilitate these communities and what what will be the so

151
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: if the legislation passes and you know, they like, what

152
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: is there something that says that just makes it available

153
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: for people to appeal and like get their record expunge

154
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: or like, is there some automatic trigger that would help

155
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: people who are in prison for I haven't. I don't

156
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: know like the fine, fine language of it, but essentially

157
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: it's opening the door for that process to begin and

158
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: and not might not be as as difficult. But this

159
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: is just the top line version. So like until we

160
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: kind of really dig in. I'm I don't have the

161
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: full full picture, but at the very least, I think

162
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: just to take this as a moment where uh, marijuana

163
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: legalization is, you know, starting to percolate a little bit

164
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: more in the hill. Uh. And finally, Miles Let's opening clothes. Uh,

165
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: today's show with some old ass rappers. J is trending.

166
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: I actually don't know. On Twitter, he's trending, and it's

167
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: apparently because I mean, hold onto your butts. Reagan Gomez

168
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: if you remember her theft, the famed performer from the nineties.

169
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: I think she was on what the uh was it?

170
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: Towns in the Parenthood. That's why I remember her from

171
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: UM and many other things she was tweeting about that.

172
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember in the nineties, there

173
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: was that Llo cool J Gap commercial where he's wearing

174
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: like the white shirt and he's like rapping on the

175
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, like when the Gap was doing those white

176
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: background ads, and people what they're talking about it because

177
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: he's he was wearing a Foo Boo hat during that

178
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: Gap ad and it's just kind of a legendary marketing

179
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: story because Foo Boo. If you don't know, for people

180
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: who aren't Familiar Uh was the brand for US by US,

181
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: black owned fashion brand, and it basically came to like

182
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: this moment with with Llo cool J appearing in this

183
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: Gap commercial. He basically hijacked a Gap commercial to be

184
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: a foo boo ad and even said the words for

185
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: us by us like in the lyrics of this Gap ad,

186
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: and people were like associating that was something you could

187
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: buy at the Gap. So people were coming to the

188
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: Gap be like, hey, do you have fooboo like from

189
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: the commercial and they're like, what the Gap? People didn't

190
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: think twice about his hat when he was wearing it, absolutely,

191
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, and they just didn't notice. I think it's

192
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: just that, I mean, we've seen the decisions that have

193
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: come out of the marketing offices of these brands, Like

194
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: there's a lot of group think going on there and

195
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: a lot of not a lot of nuance when it

196
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: comes to race or what anything. So I have a

197
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: feeling they were just very dismissive, like yeah, let him

198
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: wear his little hat. Who cares the gap? And then yeah,

199
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: and then cut to boom uh, here's ll O cool

200
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: J with some with a little little subversive advertising for you. Yeah, hey,

201
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: working within the system, exactly. There you go, just like
