Speaker 1: So I'm like, god, it's already April seven. But I'm
Speaker 1: feeling good. You know, we've been we've been doing really
Speaker 1: good over here in the the Black Fat film world
Speaker 1: as well as in my own life and world. Things
Speaker 1: have been all right. So everything's good, BEAUTI Okay, it's
Speaker 1: a thing. What's it like? You know? I know, what
Speaker 1: kind of what kind of pitches you got going right now?
Speaker 1: What kind of pitches? You know? So I said this
Speaker 1: last time I was on the show, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it again. Hire me. You know I am I.
Speaker 1: There have been some really cool things that have have
Speaker 1: been moving. I have something that's actually getting ready to
Speaker 1: come up that I can announce right now. You know,
Speaker 1: NBA's is something else. When you live in a world,
Speaker 1: you know they tell you this great thing happened, but
Speaker 1: you gotta shut your mouth about it. You'm like, no, forever,
Speaker 1: forever from us. Let me ask you something, Doctor John?
Speaker 1: Can I can I call you doctor John? You sure
Speaker 1: can do. Let's be real. Let's be real when we
Speaker 1: have NDA's, because you know we are familiar with NDAs.
Speaker 1: On average, how many people you break that NDA for?
Speaker 1: I break the NDA for the people that's in my
Speaker 1: immediate circle. Obviously my husband's gonna know about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because again it's real hard to do anything without my
Speaker 1: husband being like, what's happening? So usually you've been going
Speaker 1: for a week, right, what are you doing? Who are
Speaker 1: you doing? Right? You gotta break the NDA for your family.
Speaker 1: Usually my mom, WAI will know. My mom will be
Speaker 1: the second or third person I call outside of my manager.
Speaker 1: But you know, when it start coming down to friends,
Speaker 1: I have friends who are like, oh God, what are
Speaker 1: you up to? I'm like, I'm not telling you nothing
Speaker 1: because you can't to keep a secret. So no, and
Speaker 1: let's be clear, and let's be clear, this is hypothetical.
Speaker 1: You haven't broke any INDI you haven't even told a husband. Now,
Speaker 1: for anybody who listening, yes, this is a hypothetical. This
Speaker 1: is actually this is an improv comedy scene. We just
Speaker 1: yeah with the one suggestion was NBA, that's always yeah,
Speaker 1: that's but you know overall that that's been, that's been
Speaker 1: a part of the world. And then you know, I
Speaker 1: want some awards for script recently actually play finalists with
Speaker 1: Series Best. You know, I've gotten awards with Crown and
Speaker 1: Scene Play and also the Santa Barbara. There are a
Speaker 1: few other ones that I'm waiting to come through to
Speaker 1: see if I want or not. But it's really cool
Speaker 1: just to see people actually paying attention to the shit
Speaker 1: I know that I have to say in that right,
Speaker 1: So it's really cool. Pardon me? Is like, man, I
Speaker 1: made a mistake asking them what was going on? What
Speaker 1: the funk I got going on? No? No, I'm good,
Speaker 1: We're not starting this episode off too. I go like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm down on myself, and then the two hey, listen,
Speaker 1: you know how you know how the melonative folks do
Speaker 1: when we'd be like Mash and I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: be like you. That's always trying to be like you. Bro,
Speaker 1: We're all trying to be like each other. And what
Speaker 1: better three people to try and be like than us? Right? Um, well, look,
Speaker 1: doctor John Paul Higgins, we are going to get to
Speaker 1: know you even better in a moment. But first we
Speaker 1: need to tell the people what they can look forward
Speaker 1: to in this episode. First we got to talk about
Speaker 1: it feels like there's a disconnect. The general public don't
Speaker 1: really give a shit about Trump right now. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of real pressing shit going on, but the media
Speaker 1: they just cannot kick their fucking habit of giving this
Speaker 1: man so much oxygen. So I just want to talk
Speaker 1: about just a slight thing that I've noticed this in
Speaker 1: the last week where I'm like, oh, we're doing twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen again. Huh. We're like, we're gonna We're gonna fully
Speaker 1: regress and not learn a damn thing from that election.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk a little bit about that. Then we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Candace Owens, who was profiled and Vanity
Speaker 1: Fair And obviously we know that Candice Owens is a
Speaker 1: disgrace to the culture. I mean, for to credit to her.
Speaker 1: She's like, I want nothing to do with the culture.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we'll talk about this vaniture very I'm just sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying her hair says that she wants nothing
Speaker 1: to do with absolutely. Yeah, she has she has met
Speaker 1: say that too. So we're gonna talk about this vanity
Speaker 1: fair profile because there's some interesting stuff I didn't learn.
Speaker 1: But even more importantly, there's just like there's just some
Speaker 1: interesting stuff in there that I had not realized that
Speaker 1: we'll talk about because it is a pretty decent profile
Speaker 1: to read. She was born to white parents. No, you know,
Speaker 1: she's rough into No, she's kind she kind of has
Speaker 1: that like Clarence Thomas like path where like course, like
Speaker 1: shit's bad for you as a black person, but then
Speaker 1: you somehow are like nah, like there is no right
Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm gonna cape for them now.
Speaker 1: So it's very interesting read. But you know, we'll get
Speaker 1: to the just the more gossipy parts because that's the
Speaker 1: funnier part to me, and that will read rather than
Speaker 1: getting down on you know, this person being completely lost
Speaker 1: out there and then in some entertainment news I had
Speaker 1: no idea Diddy is paying Sting five thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: day right now this morning. Yeah, So we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about that why that is, and if we have time,
Speaker 1: we may touch on you know, Clarence and his sugar daddy,
Speaker 1: and maybe even we might even be able to touch
Speaker 1: on the potato lobby trying to change our holiday. Actually
Speaker 1: we'll probably get to that because Easter is upon us
Speaker 1: very soon. But first before we do all that, doctor
Speaker 1: John Paul Higgins, what is something from your search history
Speaker 1: that is revealing about what you're interested in? What you're
Speaker 1: looking Yeah, So last night I was on the phone
Speaker 1: call with some friends and I was telling them we
Speaker 1: were talking about flying. My partner absolutely hates flying. I
Speaker 1: have to I fly a lot, like for a lot
Speaker 1: of the work that I do a lot of places.
Speaker 1: Was like, hey, come on out, and so we were
Speaker 1: talking about being fat on the plane. And I guess
Speaker 1: I have always heard people mentioned the Southwest policy that
Speaker 1: for fat people that you could basically ask for an
Speaker 1: extra seat, but I didn't know specifically how it works.
Speaker 1: And so last night, or actually the last few days,
Speaker 1: I've been like looking into how people of size that's
Speaker 1: what they call them people of size. Policies worked specifically
Speaker 1: with Southwest. They have a deal where if you buy
Speaker 1: two tickets up front, you can't when you get to
Speaker 1: wherever you're going or when you get back from your
Speaker 1: trip can request the second ticket as a refund, or
Speaker 1: you can go earlier to a Southwest like So, for instance,
Speaker 1: if you live in LA and you're like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: flying out of Lax in two weeks, you can go
Speaker 1: to the Southwest desk. I don't know why. First off,
Speaker 1: going to south going to Lax to do all of
Speaker 1: this is a lot, so not fly that day is
Speaker 1: a lot. So, but ultimately you can go early to
Speaker 1: the desk and say, hey, I'm flying in a couple
Speaker 1: of days, a couple of weeks. Can I get a
Speaker 1: second seat assigned to me? And if they have the space,
Speaker 1: they will do it for you. Or you could go
Speaker 1: the day of and run the risk of probably not
Speaker 1: getting it. They say that they don't recommend it you
Speaker 1: doing it the same day. But yeah, there's a whole
Speaker 1: policy that a lot of airlines have, specifically Southwest, around
Speaker 1: fat people who fly often. So so your options are
Speaker 1: if you got it like that, you can buy two
Speaker 1: tickets right and then refund the other one. And if
Speaker 1: you don't, you can just go a little bit ahead
Speaker 1: of time and just ask you say I'd like to
Speaker 1: get a second seat yep, and they will put you in.
Speaker 1: They will they will put this basically, they will sing
Speaker 1: two seats to you right, and then whatever two seats
Speaker 1: that you choose when you're on the plane. Basically when
Speaker 1: you get on, you'll say, hey, I'm actually yeah, because
Speaker 1: I think they do like a seventeen A eighteen, so
Speaker 1: you'll basically on your ticket have a seventeen A eighteen
Speaker 1: as a blockout for you to make sure that no
Speaker 1: one can take the seat next to you. Is that
Speaker 1: like the by far the most generous policy of the
Speaker 1: airlines from what I read, because like I said, i've
Speaker 1: been I've been looking at it for the last few days.
Speaker 1: From what I've read, I think there's this probably the
Speaker 1: most kindest. Delta also has a really good kind of policy.
Speaker 1: I haven't really read into Delta's too much, but I
Speaker 1: would say Southwest is probably the probably the most affordable
Speaker 1: and the nicest policy out of all the policy. And
Speaker 1: let's be real, you can flat to Burt Bank, you
Speaker 1: can fly to Burbbank on Burbank the one true airport. Ye,
Speaker 1: don't go to Lax, go to Burbank. Go fly to Burbank. Wait,
Speaker 1: why can't you just go to Burbank? You could? You
Speaker 1: could you go to Long Beach too. Long Beach also
Speaker 1: is a very small Long Beach, Ontario, Burbank, all of them,
Speaker 1: they're all small air was like, why are you going
Speaker 1: to Lax, He's don't go. Don't go to Burbank. Never
Speaker 1: fly to Burbank. Is to where it's the places that
Speaker 1: I love this man. I think we should have more.
Speaker 1: We should definitely have more policies for comfort on these planes. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's insane. Yeah, they're built to basically like want
Speaker 1: you to spend more money, all right, As it is,
Speaker 1: they're trying to make the experience as like uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we should also have I just don't like people, right,
Speaker 1: yeah right, you know, yeah, because I can comfort plus.
Speaker 1: If you do comfort plus a delta, you still run
Speaker 1: the risk of having somebody awful sitting next to you,
Speaker 1: which I have had several times happened to me where
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm gona pay the extra two hundred
Speaker 1: for comfort plus, and then you still get an asshole
Speaker 1: sits next to you, right, Yeah, who want both of
Speaker 1: the seat things? It's like, dude, stop, That's why I
Speaker 1: take the window, and I'm just gonna keep take the window. Lane.
Speaker 1: I'm a lane. Are you Let me? Let me let
Speaker 1: me derail us for one second? Plane though, but let
Speaker 1: me I have a question. What's you guys as thoughts
Speaker 1: on reclining in the seat back? What do you mean
Speaker 1: on the plane? Do it? Do that? Do that? Ship?
Speaker 1: I go back and forth with it, I do, I
Speaker 1: really try. I struggle with it. In first class, Yes,
Speaker 1: recline your seat all the way back. But when you're
Speaker 1: like Comfort plus in Maine, it's really hard from the
Speaker 1: person sitting behind you too. So I tend not to
Speaker 1: recline my seat. When I'm in Comfort Plus or main cabin.
Speaker 1: I recline that motherfucker all the way and that's fair.
Speaker 1: You pay for it. Yeah. Let me let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. As soon as we hit nine thousand, nine
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight feet, my ass is leaning and
Speaker 1: I'm the person behind you trying to do work up
Speaker 1: I computer with the track all up in. But titty
Speaker 1: be listening, you know. I feel so bad for your teddy.
Speaker 1: I do, I do, but my lower back, my lower
Speaker 1: back hurt worse than they do. It you get somebody
Speaker 1: else to do it. What's the what's the worst thing
Speaker 1: you've done to try and get somebody to not sit
Speaker 1: next to you on the Southwest flight? Open up a
Speaker 1: whole thing, a fish like if you open up like wait,
Speaker 1: like shrimp, have you done that? I just got back
Speaker 1: from New Orleans. Came armed with a poeboy. Yes, very funny,
Speaker 1: but I imagine on that flight, like the passion, like
Speaker 1: hmmm oh yeah, probably yeah, yeah, yeah. One time, like
Speaker 1: in Vegas, I would do the thing where I looked
Speaker 1: like I was so hungover I was basically going to
Speaker 1: vomit on whoever sat next to me. Like I would
Speaker 1: be like I would be like this from my eyes
Speaker 1: like open and I'm like that's actually really smart. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then people see you and they're like the fuck
Speaker 1: non can you please move me to a different seat? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I remember one time like it was and this works
Speaker 1: sleep on white people, I should say, but on the plan,
Speaker 1: on the plan, I just try to look as threatening
Speaker 1: as a black person as I can. Not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I remember one time I was rapping for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: like I just didn't want nobody to say to me.
Speaker 1: I was mean mugging motherfuckers, and I was rapping. What
Speaker 1: these bitches want from the way, I'm afraid to sit
Speaker 1: next to that black man. I mean, listen, the person
Speaker 1: who sat next to me was another black person. It
Speaker 1: was like, I don't give a fuck, nig I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here right, I ain't scared of you. But it worked
Speaker 1: for at least like fifty percent of like the people
Speaker 1: who walked past, until somebody came right, fucking dude, I
Speaker 1: like that, someone's like doing the ad libs to you.
Speaker 1: Somebody let me know. That was Sabrina, Oh yeah, Lashan
Speaker 1: and Alicia, Teresa, Monica, Sherry, Nikki Lisa for running about
Speaker 1: carry gims. About three yeah, man, about three kims? Is
Speaker 1: that's what this show is grated? Actually about three kims?
Speaker 1: Moving on, Doctor John Paul Higgins, what if something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? You know? So I tweeted this the
Speaker 1: other day and I said, actually, a lot of these
Speaker 1: ideas are things that I tweet But I said, the
Speaker 1: people who keep screaming, let's get to the bread, Let's
Speaker 1: get to the bread. Nigga. I want to be Paleo, Like,
Speaker 1: I am done with getting to the bread. I don't
Speaker 1: want any bread. This constant having to work every day
Speaker 1: to survive and a capitalist state is ghetto. Like I'm
Speaker 1: just really really tired, Like and I stay tired in this.
Speaker 1: It's like, I know I'm blessed. Yes, money's coming in.
Speaker 1: I'm able to do what I want to do. I'm
Speaker 1: able to eat where I want to eat. I could
Speaker 1: put cheese on my burger. But some days you just
Speaker 1: wake up and you're like, God, I gotta do this
Speaker 1: all over again. Like it just it becomes a lot.
Speaker 1: So get into the brand culture, this whole notion of
Speaker 1: like we got to get to the bag. Everybody wants
Speaker 1: a LLC and and you know what, if I could
Speaker 1: take a quick minute, let's talk about this LLC culture.
Speaker 1: I just did my taxes. Yeah, oh god, my god,
Speaker 1: God God, I've done. I'm still mad about my taxes
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah. Put, I'm putting my m putting put
Speaker 1: my man, my accountant. I hope my account is not
Speaker 1: listening to this, because if he is, he I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just say it. Brut Yeah, I see all your emails.
Speaker 1: I'm ignoring the motherfuckers that I have a person who
Speaker 1: a person who does my taxes. Her brother is an
Speaker 1: accountant and so they see my accounts and stuff. But
Speaker 1: they were just like yesterday when I did my taxes,
Speaker 1: they say, hey, you know we we went. We may
Speaker 1: want to move you over to too. What is it
Speaker 1: when you bump up from an LLC just to one
Speaker 1: above it escort because they're saying that I'm bringing in
Speaker 1: too much money now and LLC is not serving me.
Speaker 1: But it just again, it's still very much like the
Speaker 1: idea of like having to keep an escort, because now
Speaker 1: that means, oh, you have to work harder to actually
Speaker 1: keep the money that you have set and coming in.
Speaker 1: So it's just makes me So it's let me let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. And again I want to I
Speaker 1: want to piggyback off of the blessings that you said
Speaker 1: as well. You know, I realize I'm blessed. I know
Speaker 1: I'm about to say this shit and motherfucker's gonna be
Speaker 1: like you lucky as hell, bro, But like, let me
Speaker 1: just say, the first time you pay more more in
Speaker 1: taxes than you've ever made in a year before, yeah,
Speaker 1: hurts your fucking soul. It hurts your soul. I want
Speaker 1: these motherfuckers to leave us thousand theirs alone. Yes, all right,
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck If I make one thousand
Speaker 1: to nine hundred and ninety nine, that leave me, Leave
Speaker 1: me alone alone. My little money ain't doing nothing for you, right,
Speaker 1: And if you don't have kids, it's even worse. You
Speaker 1: have nothing. And it's like you have to have stuff
Speaker 1: to write off. So now I'm that person, like I
Speaker 1: used to be that girl, like, oh, I have the
Speaker 1: newest stuff because I like having the newest stuff, and
Speaker 1: people are like now I'm like, I'm buying stuff so
Speaker 1: I can write that shit off. Like do you really
Speaker 1: need a new ipat? No, But I'm gonna buy a
Speaker 1: new one so I can write it off. But I
Speaker 1: need eight hundred off my taxes. Yeah, so here we go.
Speaker 1: I'm at that place now. The other the other thing,
Speaker 1: the thing I think is really like, you know, fucked
Speaker 1: up though about like get the bad culture is that
Speaker 1: it incentivizes people to be less humane because you see
Speaker 1: people do some wild shit quote in the name of
Speaker 1: the bag, and in that process you actually alienate yourself,
Speaker 1: burn bridges and shit, and really you end up with
Speaker 1: just maybe that one bag you were chasing because along
Speaker 1: the way there you kind of you were too focused.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we always talk about that, you know, fuck
Speaker 1: fuck the get how do I get lambo? Cold? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How do I get lambo? I was gonna say that.
Speaker 1: I was also gonna add to how do we get lambo? Yes,
Speaker 1: but I was also gonna say overnight oats They nasty.
Speaker 1: People talk about overnight oats and I don't want nothing
Speaker 1: to do. What is that shit? People putting oat like
Speaker 1: oats and water and stuff in the fridge with yogurt
Speaker 1: and now that it's nasty. I didn't drink it. The
Speaker 1: next morning? Did they eat it? I saw it at
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's, like in the refrigerated case, and I thought, shit,
Speaker 1: I mean not that like I thought they were selling ship.
Speaker 1: But I was like, what is I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been out of the game too long.
Speaker 1: Stick with McDonald's breakfast please, and then, man, give me
Speaker 1: a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and a magritle and
Speaker 1: a hash brown. I'm go ahead to eat your oaks.
Speaker 1: We all gonna die. What this is? Again? Thinking of this,
Speaker 1: I should have said this that's a favorite tweet once,
Speaker 1: but one of the tweets that made me laugh so hard,
Speaker 1: like three weeks ago, it was like, this is fucked
Speaker 1: up and it's so funny. But like everybody out here
Speaker 1: always trying to commit suicide, be patient, You're gonna die,
Speaker 1: so patient, patient, black Twitter, man, black Twitter against you
Speaker 1: every time. Finally, finally, finally, doctor j P. Yes, what
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? Yeah? So minding your business.
Speaker 1: So I tweeted this yesterday because as I was leaving
Speaker 1: my tax location. So I will say, so, I really
Speaker 1: want our listeners to understand that I came before I
Speaker 1: make this statement. I want you all to understand who
Speaker 1: I am or where I come from before I make
Speaker 1: In college, I used to drive a car that did
Speaker 1: not have AC or heat, and so it was a
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one miles to Protege, and so for so
Speaker 1: long I had a very very beat up car throughout college. Now,
Speaker 1: in my you know, my doctor era, in my speaking era,
Speaker 1: my podcast era, I just recently bought my first luxury car.
Speaker 1: So I have Alexis And I was walking out to
Speaker 1: my car yesterday from the tax place, and this white
Speaker 1: man stopped me and said what are you doing? Like
Speaker 1: he rolled his wing. He literally rolled his window down
Speaker 1: and said what are you doing? As I was getting
Speaker 1: into my car, and I turned around without even thinking,
Speaker 1: and I said, mine in my black ass business. And
Speaker 1: I got in the car and drove away. And so
Speaker 1: I think it's important for me to say what's underrated
Speaker 1: these days, especially when you don't know if people are carrying,
Speaker 1: if you don't know what type of day people have had.
Speaker 1: You know, there's already so much going on in the world.
Speaker 1: Mind your business that is paying you, sir, Like, ain't
Speaker 1: nobody worried about you and your Nissan Pathfinder drive on?
Speaker 1: Like that literally is what what bothers me? So that
Speaker 1: that's my underrated thing. Mind in the business that pays you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's underrated in a long time, Mind your fucking business.
Speaker 1: You'll actually you'll live longer by doing it. You do,
Speaker 1: don't you? You know you well you're not. I mean
Speaker 1: look in the sense that, hey, you probably won't encounter
Speaker 1: somebody who is ready to give you smoke in the
Speaker 1: way you might not be ready for it. But also
Speaker 1: in the way that you are conserving your energy your
Speaker 1: life force for shit that matters rather than being all
Speaker 1: up and people's shit. Let me tell you. I can
Speaker 1: hear a sound outside and my husband he's white, and
Speaker 1: so he's real quick to jump up what's going on
Speaker 1: out there. And I'm like, babe, don't do that, like
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with us. Like, let me
Speaker 1: say it is you is your husband white? He is yours? Okay?
Speaker 1: See that's yeah. I seriously. I was. I was driving.
Speaker 1: I was driving like somewhere a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: and there was this dog on the street, clearly a
Speaker 1: dog that was lost. And I was with a friend
Speaker 1: and she was like, oh, we gotta, we gotta. I
Speaker 1: was like, that ain't my damn business. That dog got
Speaker 1: out of my business. That should That's gonna add time
Speaker 1: to my day. I hope that dog is taken care of.
Speaker 1: Somebody will get somebody take care of that dog. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, something similar happened in my neighborhood too, And
Speaker 1: I was driving and this dog was like smart enough
Speaker 1: to not be in the road but look lost on
Speaker 1: the sidewalk, and her matches was pull over, pull over.
Speaker 1: I said, somebody in a fleece vest is gonna find
Speaker 1: this dog and look at the tag and do the work.
Speaker 1: For us, trust me, we have to keep going. We
Speaker 1: are late for this appointment to get this birth certificate.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, said vest What is it? What is that bread?
Speaker 1: It's not what is it pagonia? Probably maybe someone, somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody gonna come get this dog. Ain't gotta be me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I know, for me, I'm like, no, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna be
Speaker 1: right back to talk about the news, which unfortunately doesn't
Speaker 1: have to do with stray dogs, but just a very
Speaker 1: thirsty media right after this and we're back, and I
Speaker 1: just wanted to touch because this week, you know, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump turned himself in on Tuesday, or you know, was
Speaker 1: had his arraignment on Tuesday. It was the best things
Speaker 1: we're seeing the picture of him in the courtroom where
Speaker 1: he looked like completely out of place, like in the
Speaker 1: sense that he could tell he's like, I've never had
Speaker 1: to be told what to do like this before, and
Speaker 1: it was like uncomfortable. That was fine. We already knew
Speaker 1: what the deal was with this trial because we've been
Speaker 1: talking about it for I feel like years now. But
Speaker 1: you know, the whole overall vibe over here regarding the
Speaker 1: Trump indictment has basically been wake me up when there's
Speaker 1: some kind of guilty verdict or tangible consequences other than that,
Speaker 1: do not waste my time or start writing stories where
Speaker 1: like the headline seems like you're giving me some new
Speaker 1: information and you're just regurgitating things we already know. So
Speaker 1: I think that this is a tremendous disconnect right now
Speaker 1: between like what people are actually giving a fuck about
Speaker 1: and what the media is trying to put on you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's plate right now, which is, you know, this pretty
Speaker 1: normal in general. But for example, right on Twitter, people
Speaker 1: barely made a fuss about this arrangement or the press
Speaker 1: conference he did after, even though like potentially there could
Speaker 1: have been news. I didn't even watch the press conference
Speaker 1: because I figured he's not it's gonna be some version
Speaker 1: of saying some racist shit and then being anti Semitic
Speaker 1: by throwing in some George Soros reference or some shit
Speaker 1: like that. The lack of buzz on the bird app
Speaker 1: is definitely a combination of Elon's fuckery and like just
Speaker 1: the destruction of the curation team that was there, that
Speaker 1: was curating news on there, that like allowed it to
Speaker 1: be a place where people were sharing information. Plus you
Speaker 1: had a lot of people like leave the site because
Speaker 1: of all the fucking racism that goes unchecked. And not
Speaker 1: to mention, now blue check marks are like now meaningless,
Speaker 1: So who the fuck knows who is an actual journalist
Speaker 1: and who's just like a board want to be So
Speaker 1: analysts were looking at the tweets during this his court
Speaker 1: appearance and it wasn't It was barely a trickle, right,
Speaker 1: And they what they're saying is compare that to when
Speaker 1: Trump got COVID in twenty twenty. The whole fucking site
Speaker 1: turned into people doing Ganay and Paul Bearer memes and
Speaker 1: all kinds of fucking weird shit like it was so
Speaker 1: there was so much energy. I feel like everybody who
Speaker 1: was on tip Twitter definitely remembers when Trump got COVID
Speaker 1: because it was so Now now nobody gives a fuck
Speaker 1: about this. It's like, yeah, whatever, because at this point,
Speaker 1: I think there's just no appetite for him because he's
Speaker 1: not you know, he's not the president and now he's
Speaker 1: a citizen. But you know, if anything, we're just only
Speaker 1: interested at least I'll speak personally, and I think most
Speaker 1: people who are like minded only interested in the just
Speaker 1: if there's the remote possibility of some kind of punishment.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason at this point we check in,
Speaker 1: because like, is he gonna finally know? Okay, don't wake
Speaker 1: me up when it happens. So despite all that, the
Speaker 1: media cannot kick their addiction to Trump, Like, ever since
Speaker 1: he said he might get arrested, all the focus has
Speaker 1: been on what might happen, what the charges might be,
Speaker 1: what could this possibly be about, even though we know
Speaker 1: what the grand jury, what the grand jury wasn't paneled for,
Speaker 1: and like we heard about the people that were testifying.
Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, it's gonna be with the Stormy Daniels
Speaker 1: cover up. We know that. But again they found a
Speaker 1: way to stretch all of this out and CNN and
Speaker 1: MSNBC they figured they could just say the same few
Speaker 1: sentences over and over for a few days and make
Speaker 1: it look like coverage and like this is in the
Speaker 1: midst of our gun violence epidemic, inflation, stagnant wages, you know,
Speaker 1: shit people actually care about that needs to be informed on.
Speaker 1: And CNN and they spent a good long time just
Speaker 1: talking about all the doors in the courthouse. They're like,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of doors. You know, we don't know
Speaker 1: which door he might come through. And they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really interesting to think because there's a I've been
Speaker 1: to this building before, there's a and you're like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck are y'all talking about there to talk about?
Speaker 1: I mean, right, if we live in if we we
Speaker 1: live in an error right now, where it's just it's
Speaker 1: a known fact that news is sensationalized, right, News for
Speaker 1: the most part has become entertainment. Now, with that being said,
Speaker 1: if that's the way news is gonna go, if it's
Speaker 1: about entertainment, then if you want to keep people's interests,
Speaker 1: you gotta give us something besides the same fucking episode
Speaker 1: every goddamn day, right, Like that's just if this is
Speaker 1: where news is. We want entertainment, we want something new,
Speaker 1: right like or we need a news story, we need
Speaker 1: another oj we need something, we need like we need
Speaker 1: somebody chasing the Broncos something like something, because like, otherwise
Speaker 1: you are going to get people. People are tired, which
Speaker 1: is a good thing. However, the bad part of that is,
Speaker 1: like you said before, we have a lot of twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't paying attention, right, They just
Speaker 1: tune everything out because like nothing is important anymore because
Speaker 1: it's the same shit. But it you know, and so
Speaker 1: it's just a it's a it's a snake in his
Speaker 1: own head, right, It's an endless fucking cycle exactly. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: you know, it's the time we live in. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say something controversial. I hope this motherfucker get the
Speaker 1: Republican nomination. It's a guaranteed loss. Well here's here's the
Speaker 1: problem though, right when you look at so one of
Speaker 1: our past guests, aiming ismile, he went to the courthouse
Speaker 1: on Tuesday because he does a lot of like coverage
Speaker 1: and all things magod like, he was there on January sixth.
Speaker 1: So he went to the courtroom and he was saying,
Speaker 1: as a media personality, as a partisan journalist, not participating,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker is a legit, let's be clear, past king,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, so you know, he so he
Speaker 1: went and he was basically saying that there were more
Speaker 1: members of the media there than there were protesters, and
Speaker 1: anytime someone in a MAGA hat walked by the reporters,
Speaker 1: they would swarm and try and get a quote. And
Speaker 1: you know, they're like they're when I think this. When
Speaker 1: there were more people present from the media than actual protesters,
Speaker 1: it shows who cares more, and at that point, the
Speaker 1: story is not about a clash between protesters. It should
Speaker 1: be about the media, who was like, damn, it's just
Speaker 1: all us, huh, that's kind of I mean, normally we
Speaker 1: would be outnumbered by the magnitude of the event because
Speaker 1: we think there's all this hubbub going to happen. Obviously
Speaker 1: they want to cover the stuff that's happening in the
Speaker 1: courthouse as well, but it's just, you know, it's like,
Speaker 1: you have they not learned anything from twenty sixteen, Like
Speaker 1: in the post mortem of that election, everyone was like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we gave that dude way too much oxygen and basically
Speaker 1: like three billion dollars in free advertising because he was
Speaker 1: getting name checked every five seconds, and they're making the
Speaker 1: same mistake. And to your point, too, chick, He's like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's because it you know, the corporate media,
Speaker 1: mainstream media is there to uphold the status quo. You know,
Speaker 1: raising the specter of Trump is the easy way out
Speaker 1: for them and gives them an excuse from having to
Speaker 1: discuss the truly pressing issues in our country, like white supremacy, homophobia,
Speaker 1: gun control, police violence, student loan debt, medical cost s,
Speaker 1: affordable housing, on house people. I can keep going, right,
Speaker 1: but you want to spend fucking eighteen hours just being
Speaker 1: like the doors, the doors, the doors, And you know
Speaker 1: it's doing people who actually go there for the news
Speaker 1: a tremendous disservice. Although you know, I'd hope people will
Speaker 1: diversify their news diets. But at the same time, like
Speaker 1: with to your point about twenty twenty four, it who
Speaker 1: like you can only imagine a thing where they they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we got him this time, get put all this focus
Speaker 1: on him, and then suddenly we're like, we're talking about
Speaker 1: this dude way too much when he should just be
Speaker 1: an afterthought and it should just be we don't need
Speaker 1: a debate if this is a just arrest or not
Speaker 1: he broke the law, and if if we're keeping it
Speaker 1: a buck with the legal system here, he has to
Speaker 1: account for it, right, But they wouldn't do this. If
Speaker 1: I can add, I'll say, I think the thing for
Speaker 1: me that I've been paying attention to when you talk
Speaker 1: about media not paying attention is if we can keep
Speaker 1: his kind of this notion of like if we can
Speaker 1: keep the will spinning enough around this individual, we really
Speaker 1: genuinely don't have to hold him or anyone who's doing
Speaker 1: these crimes accountable. And I think that's been the biggest
Speaker 1: thing that I've been paying a lot of attention to
Speaker 1: of even how media covers all of this. It's like,
Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about the thing that he
Speaker 1: did that was in just We're just going to talk
Speaker 1: about the fact that he's in jail, where he's going,
Speaker 1: what he looks like, how he feels it. Just it's
Speaker 1: it seems like I don't know if any of you
Speaker 1: watch drag Race, but they're one of the queens. Her
Speaker 1: tagline was look over there. That's what it feels like.
Speaker 1: It feels like a lot of like look over there,
Speaker 1: like don't don't pay attention to what's actually truly happening
Speaker 1: in this situation or even in our in our world
Speaker 1: or in our country. Just keep focusing over there on
Speaker 1: the media that's talking about what door he's coming through,
Speaker 1: What door is he coming through? And the unfortunate The
Speaker 1: unfortunate thing too is you know, you brought up the
Speaker 1: fact that you know, Twitter isn't blowing up for this,
Speaker 1: right anymore, right, Miles, And I think like sometimes we
Speaker 1: forget at least I do. I can only speak for myself,
Speaker 1: but I would think some people would agree with this,
Speaker 1: that we are very much a part of what I
Speaker 1: like to call like the coastal elite, Like we are
Speaker 1: very much the bubble, like of the people who don't
Speaker 1: really represent like the middle of the country quite often. Right,
Speaker 1: So we and the people who think like us, or
Speaker 1: the people who have the same like viewpoints or just
Speaker 1: in the same generation as us are probably not online
Speaker 1: or but there's a lot of motherfucker's in the middle
Speaker 1: of the country who are. And there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the middle of the country who are watching
Speaker 1: the CNNs and the ms NBC's and the Fox News
Speaker 1: and all these and this is where they get their
Speaker 1: ship from. And unfortunately, with the media just giving him
Speaker 1: free press, those are the people that they are reaching, right,
Speaker 1: And when you and then like when you get you know,
Speaker 1: and you when you get like bombarded with the same
Speaker 1: shit like it, are we treating him unfair? Right? Even
Speaker 1: like because that's all there, that's all they hear, right,
Speaker 1: and they go on Twitter, Like if you go on
Speaker 1: Twitter right now, you can still find a bunch of
Speaker 1: Trump shit, but it's not the same people the four
Speaker 1: fool we're talking about. Yeah, And what I mean to
Speaker 1: say is like, not that the interest is different, that
Speaker 1: the energy that he takes right like to your point
Speaker 1: that he filled he occupied such a space and the
Speaker 1: consciousness that the idea of him even being sick was
Speaker 1: enough for people going it's going up. Now I'm saying
Speaker 1: what what I mean to really say, Like I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to say that this is like a you know,
Speaker 1: a Middle America versus at the you know, the city's
Speaker 1: type of thing, but that essentially like they're doing just
Speaker 1: generally people disservice when it's clear that the narrative like
Speaker 1: that as it should be is this guy's a citizen.
Speaker 1: He broke the law. It is what it is. We
Speaker 1: don't need to cover it like he's the president right
Speaker 1: now and be like where's this jet at? Oh, it's
Speaker 1: a helicopter. It just landed a Trump tower. That play
Speaker 1: by play is just again it's doing everybody a disservice.
Speaker 1: And I really it bothers me because Yeah, and I'm
Speaker 1: saying like, at a time when you have people like
Speaker 1: they're passing bills, or they're saying we're gonna check inside
Speaker 1: little kids underwear to look at their genitals before they
Speaker 1: complete and compete in sports. We're not talk like that,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? Like that's that's the ship that is
Speaker 1: really going to affect people, not where the fuck did
Speaker 1: his helicopter land? And while all that happens, you know,
Speaker 1: they've continued to obscure like the actual issues that are happening.
Speaker 1: So anyway, let's move on though, because I want to
Speaker 1: talk about this Vanity Fair piece about Candisons. Now. I'm
Speaker 1: glad this show is very black today because this disgrace
Speaker 1: of a human who deploys her identity as a black
Speaker 1: woman in service of fascism and white supremacy is in
Speaker 1: Vanity Fair, And unlike the sixty minutes piece on Marjorie
Speaker 1: Taylor Green, this profile reads a little bit more like
Speaker 1: here's all the fucked up shit this person's talking about.
Speaker 1: Like it's pretty pretty just laying out the facts of
Speaker 1: who this person is. It's interesting to read like I
Speaker 1: had no idea she was an intern at Vogue previously,
Speaker 1: and that she was like a powerhouse intern there that
Speaker 1: when they like asked for a comment for people that
Speaker 1: worked with her at Vogue. They were all like, oh,
Speaker 1: she was like she was very impressive, Like she her
Speaker 1: ability to like work was very like your detail focused
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. Apparently she left an impression
Speaker 1: on a lot of people, and they felt like she
Speaker 1: wasn't a fit for Vogue and just kind of seemed
Speaker 1: like someone who was like just back to themselves all
Speaker 1: the time to you know, sort of get where they
Speaker 1: were going to go. Then, you know, you read also
Speaker 1: about this other stuff how she has basically has come
Speaker 1: into contact with or you know, she's basically been on
Speaker 1: the receiving end of a lot of racial abuse, like
Speaker 1: a like a like a wild ass voicemail was left
Speaker 1: to her by like a like the son the son
Speaker 1: of the mayor of the town she lived in. It
Speaker 1: became like this whole controversy when she was a teenager,
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff and then her you know,
Speaker 1: her slow pivot to the to the right side of things,
Speaker 1: and just so people remember, these are the kinds of
Speaker 1: things when she talks about, like, you know, because she
Speaker 1: is one of these people who uses her blackness to
Speaker 1: tear down like any kind of progress or black or
Speaker 1: the idea of black liberation she has. She says stuff
Speaker 1: like this quote. I have to keep reminding you that
Speaker 1: I don't want to be part of this culture. I
Speaker 1: want to destroy it. I want to destroy it further
Speaker 1: than it's already destroyed itself. I want to go backward.
Speaker 1: Your idea of progressivism is clearly regressive. This is a
Speaker 1: new plantation. This was when she was on that whole
Speaker 1: Democrats are always you know they I mean, let's be real,
Speaker 1: I mean, they are taking advantage of the black vote.
Speaker 1: But the idea that this is somehow that the things
Speaker 1: that black people are trying to achieve, that that is
Speaker 1: something that needs to be destroyed. I think we can
Speaker 1: all realize how fucking observed that is. So the other
Speaker 1: thing we learned is she's like chauffeur daily to the
Speaker 1: Daily Wire studios with a bodyguard and he has like
Speaker 1: her assistant. And she was like very self conscious like
Speaker 1: about how this profile was being written, because she would
Speaker 1: always tell the writer, Emily Jane Fox, to put certain
Speaker 1: quotes in, like how she's like a trad wife. She
Speaker 1: was asking the writer like, do you know what a
Speaker 1: trad wife is? And you know, for people, people who
Speaker 1: don't know, it's like traditional wife about these like, you know,
Speaker 1: women falling into traditional roles like and doing everything for
Speaker 1: the men because that's a better lane for women to
Speaker 1: be in. And it's you know, online, it's become a
Speaker 1: whole thing. And so there's this. This is the quote
Speaker 1: from the piece about her being a trad wife. Quote, God,
Speaker 1: how unhip am I? Yeah, I'm a trad wife. Put
Speaker 1: that in there, she instructs me, And tell them I
Speaker 1: came up with it. I'm really traditional. I believe the
Speaker 1: men lead. So she's always saying put that in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and tell them this part. And I like that the
Speaker 1: writer is like actually putting all these things. They're like, hey,
Speaker 1: tell them. I said that also, And then she also
Speaker 1: was like, I really want people to know that I'm kind.
Speaker 1: Can you put that in there too? This is another
Speaker 1: This is another quote from the article. It says, quote,
Speaker 1: that's the one thing she thinks people most often misunderstand
Speaker 1: about her. She said, quote, I take my work very seriously,
Speaker 1: and I'm very kind to people. And I wish that
Speaker 1: if I could wish something into the narrative, it would
Speaker 1: be that people knew how kind I was. Put that
Speaker 1: in there. Sure that the media has been really successful
Speaker 1: at hardening me. Put that in there. Yeah, sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Hitler gave somebody a hug. Wants to right. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: and every every terrible person could be kind. Here's here's
Speaker 1: the thing we can't to sell in outside of her
Speaker 1: just being a coon. But like it, Um, it's sad, man,
Speaker 1: It's sad because it's uh, it's very funny, but it's
Speaker 1: it's so sad because like I I don't maybe she
Speaker 1: does realize it, but like she's a sad part of this.
Speaker 1: The sad part of this is this is a product
Speaker 1: of white supremacy, and this is this a Candice Owen.
Speaker 1: How we get a Candice own is from the deepest
Speaker 1: parts of white supremacy and racism. But you can, I can,
Speaker 1: I interject, I'm not trying to cut you off. But
Speaker 1: I also say, something tells me, and I'm making an
Speaker 1: assumption here, but something tells me when I meet people
Speaker 1: like her who seems to always have something really terrible
Speaker 1: to say about black people, about black culture, I believe
Speaker 1: that somewhere in her life she had issues with other
Speaker 1: black women or black people, and now that she's in
Speaker 1: a position of quote unquote, and I'm putting quotations around
Speaker 1: power because what does that mean for her? Right she
Speaker 1: is now that that vitriol that she carries in her
Speaker 1: it's just a reflection of something that she has yet
Speaker 1: to get therapy around. That's what I see, retime, because
Speaker 1: it is because she's latched on to the easiest thing
Speaker 1: to latch onto with hating black people, which is based
Speaker 1: in being racist and supremacy and whiteness. Because like, let's
Speaker 1: be real, we all if I if I became a
Speaker 1: caddis on because of all the people that I used
Speaker 1: to roast me when I was a kid that was
Speaker 1: all black. Bol you got roasted, get me, you got roasted, Jonathan,
Speaker 1: you got roasted, We got roasted. We got like, yeah
Speaker 1: I was, I was fucking Jackie to black people. Yeah shit.
Speaker 1: And and you want to know the funny thing. The
Speaker 1: funny thing, a white kid who went to school with
Speaker 1: a bunch of white kids also was roasted by all
Speaker 1: his white friends. Like you you are roasted by the
Speaker 1: people you grow up around. Yeah you, it happens, right,
Speaker 1: I say that, like she reminds me of Clarence Thomas,
Speaker 1: because hey, check out the behind the Bastards episode on
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas that I did with Robert It's fantastic. I
Speaker 1: learned so much. But it's interesting too how he you know,
Speaker 1: he grew up in a place where a lot of
Speaker 1: black people were giving him flack for whatever, and he
Speaker 1: always felt that he just didn't belong because he was
Speaker 1: an outsider, and that slowly turned, that slowly disconnected him
Speaker 1: from his community and from his own blackness. That it
Speaker 1: just it just made him an uncle record when Yeah,
Speaker 1: one day, it just just a switch was hit. And
Speaker 1: in this piece she talks about something similar because she like,
Speaker 1: when she was younger, she did really well in school,
Speaker 1: and she resented the fact that like black kids were
Speaker 1: calling her white because she was doing well in school.
Speaker 1: And she was saying like, and she was phrasing in
Speaker 1: a way where she's like, why do I have to
Speaker 1: why can't I be Why can't I just do well
Speaker 1: in school and not be have to be teased or
Speaker 1: say I'm not being black enough or whatever? And I
Speaker 1: get that that's true. That's a very good thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you know, if you know what I meantimes, I've
Speaker 1: been called Wayne Brady, like you know, or Carlton. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's one of these things where for her then I
Speaker 1: think she just found comfort in realizing that when she
Speaker 1: used her like mouth in service of these like terrible
Speaker 1: white supremacist takes and regressive takes, they she suddenly got
Speaker 1: a lot more. She probably found community a lot quicker
Speaker 1: doing that, because people were very cynical and we're like, yes,
Speaker 1: we can use this, we can use this in service
Speaker 1: of our end game. And you know, now she's doing
Speaker 1: her ship on the daily wire. I will add this though,
Speaker 1: because I love this because even though you might have
Speaker 1: a little bit of money and you think you're popping
Speaker 1: in Nashville, Tennessee, there are still people who absolutely won't
Speaker 1: fuck with you because they know who you are. So
Speaker 1: one of the unsung heroes of this piece is an
Speaker 1: interior designer named David Netto and Owens and her husband,
Speaker 1: who is the CEO of Parlor mind you that you
Speaker 1: know the fucking fash Twitter, saw some of his work
Speaker 1: at a friend's house, so her husband reached out to
Speaker 1: to potentially have David Netto work with them, and this
Speaker 1: is the response that David Netto sent to her husband, quote,
Speaker 1: dear George, thank you for your inquiry. I'd rather get
Speaker 1: beaten the ass with a wooden plank than ever go
Speaker 1: near either of you kind regards David so. Owens then
Speaker 1: goes on to say if a white conservative male had
Speaker 1: written that email to an outspoken black liberal, he would
Speaker 1: have lost everything. They would have said. It was like
Speaker 1: Jim Crow. Then Netto said when they like, when they said,
Speaker 1: do you have anything to say about her comment? He said,
Speaker 1: basically because he was like, I'm talking to her husband
Speaker 1: who's white. I'm also a white guy. He said, this
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with race. It's a terrorism slash
Speaker 1: amorality thing. And he said, after January six, the joke's over.
Speaker 1: People like this should expect to be recognized as complicit
Speaker 1: with something very dangerous and I don't mean Kanye, and
Speaker 1: expect to be told off in polite society. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I had to smoke for them. And they're
Speaker 1: terribly designed home. So can I add? She so she
Speaker 1: went under someone had something. So I saw this on
Speaker 1: Twitter last night and she had tweeted I hate when
Speaker 1: people meet hate with hate like that. That's never gonna
Speaker 1: solve anything. And I retweet it and I said, girl,
Speaker 1: you know why people hate you? Like, let's not play
Speaker 1: this game here, you you understand completely why everybody and
Speaker 1: their mama hate you. So she she's good at gas lighting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hate with hate. Yeah, so you hate out of the equation.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Oh so you admit it, you represent hate, admitted, Okay,
Speaker 1: she admitted. Yeah, but that's why I know. I know
Speaker 1: I'm hateful, but that does not mean yet with hate
Speaker 1: towards me wild It's again, it's the mental gymnastics you
Speaker 1: have to go through. And at the end of the piece,
Speaker 1: they kind of mentioned like people who are this charismatic
Speaker 1: tend to fall into this thing where they back themselves
Speaker 1: so hard they don't even know what they're saying, but
Speaker 1: they know that it's working and it doesn't matter to
Speaker 1: them at that point because they see the results. And
Speaker 1: then they're just so disconnected from what it means and
Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know, I'm getting chaufferred everywhere, I'm
Speaker 1: getting fluid out, I have channel bags, i have a home,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have all these kids, blah blah blah. And
Speaker 1: I think at that point she's completely succumbed to that
Speaker 1: or I don't know, I don't even give a fuck.
Speaker 1: But if the same thing can be said about Christian
Speaker 1: Walker too, right, Like didn't we see the same thing
Speaker 1: happened to him when he was going up against and
Speaker 1: saying and doing a lot of the same stuff. The
Speaker 1: same people backed him and was giving him money, giving
Speaker 1: him opportunities so to meet. There's something to be said
Speaker 1: about black people who basically sell their identity down the
Speaker 1: river in order for them to make a check, like
Speaker 1: or to make a bug. I mean, there's another part
Speaker 1: of it, too, right, because racism is so fucking horrifying
Speaker 1: and violent. At a certain point you may begin just
Speaker 1: it becomes like a Stockholm syndrome, same thing where you're like,
Speaker 1: you know what if I put this cap on, they
Speaker 1: don't fuck with me. Yeah, And that's somehow that's easier
Speaker 1: for me to reckon with all that to say, Candaeon's
Speaker 1: your house still looks like shit. It probably looks like
Speaker 1: it is. It is. It's a very it's a It
Speaker 1: boils down to one simple thing. For me, whenever I
Speaker 1: see a black person or a person of color who
Speaker 1: aligns themselves with a group or a culture that is
Speaker 1: an opposition of their own identity and culture, it boils
Speaker 1: down to one thing. It's self hate. Like it's self hate,
Speaker 1: you know, in terms, that's literally all it is. And yeah,
Speaker 1: right and and and and even with her saying like
Speaker 1: or you said like, she's mentioned how people used to
Speaker 1: make fun of her, and then then you learned how
Speaker 1: you learn to like hate yourself and hate and you
Speaker 1: And what's the first thing that is visible to most
Speaker 1: people yourself is your race, your culture, right, and so
Speaker 1: like you learn to hate that, and it's it's all
Speaker 1: self hate, which is and you know nothing can do
Speaker 1: about that, which is why one of my favorite characters
Speaker 1: of all time is Sam Jackson's character and and fucking
Speaker 1: Jango because it is the true pity me. It is
Speaker 1: such a funny character and it is so that is
Speaker 1: exactly how like some of these black people will be
Speaker 1: looking right Leonardo, So I tried to shoot him. I
Speaker 1: was done, Jangore, we gonna get you nigga, nigga down
Speaker 1: because I've not seen that movie so long, but that
Speaker 1: seen lives in my head. Red Free, we get to Nigga.
Speaker 1: We're probably gonna get canceled for saying it and words
Speaker 1: so much. I'm sorry, y'all, but it's funny. Who's gonna check? Yeh.
Speaker 1: But niggas with twin black people call the black people.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm totally taking this off off so for
Speaker 1: you upening nigga, And it's like with the energy of
Speaker 1: that Sam Jackson intensity that just gives it such a
Speaker 1: different quality too. That he had the big eye, Little
Speaker 1: white Beard. Oh, he was so pressed the greatest characters.
Speaker 1: Just before before we take a break, I just want
Speaker 1: to touch on this uh sting p Diddy thing. So
Speaker 1: this was going around on Twitter and I had no
Speaker 1: idea about this. For millennials that were into hip hop,
Speaker 1: the death of Tupac and Biggie were earth shattering moments, okay,
Speaker 1: and in the case of Biggie, it was also the
Speaker 1: moment that made Diddy a certified star. He went from
Speaker 1: background dancer slash producer, set slash ad libber slash you know,
Speaker 1: banger of empty bottles babb Yeah, to take that take
Speaker 1: that we all know that too, basically the face of
Speaker 1: New York hip hop in the Bling Bling era, and
Speaker 1: it was like a meteoric rise for him. And in
Speaker 1: the wake of Biggie's death, there were many tributes, but
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety seven hit I'll Be Missing You with
Speaker 1: Faith Evans in one twelve is the most memorable, okay,
Speaker 1: And it contains a sample of Stings every breath you take,
Speaker 1: which probably made it very easy for people to bop too,
Speaker 1: because you know it's like, oh, you already know this song.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. Plus now we got a you know,
Speaker 1: Diddy and Faith Evans in one twelve. We love it.
Speaker 1: I mean, the sample is pretty much the whole engine
Speaker 1: of the song. And sampling and hip hop has been
Speaker 1: been a pretty contentious issue because a lot of producers
Speaker 1: used to not clear samples before, you know, putting an
Speaker 1: album out, and it would cause issues and a lot
Speaker 1: of people are like, oh my god, you made all
Speaker 1: this money off of my like obscure like soul album
Speaker 1: or whatever, and it, you know, became a bit of
Speaker 1: a problem. And this is one of those cases. So
Speaker 1: I guess a few years ago, Sting went on The
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club and said that because Diddy never got permission
Speaker 1: to use that sample, he is now being paid around
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars a day by Diddy. I ready, and
Speaker 1: then yes, then Diddy quote tweeted and said, correction, it's
Speaker 1: more like five thousand dollars per day if you do
Speaker 1: the math on five thousand dollars per day from when
Speaker 1: that single came out. You were we're looking at being
Speaker 1: north of like forty eight million dollars. Yeah, wow, And
Speaker 1: I can't believe that. But here's the thing's catalog of music,
Speaker 1: of the songs he's written. Stuff is very valuable. He
Speaker 1: recently sold like, I think a bulk of his publishing
Speaker 1: rights to Universal for around and estimated three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars, So those checks might actually be going
Speaker 1: to Universal now, but I'm still like gobsmacked. And there
Speaker 1: was also that Juice World track that sampled Shape of
Speaker 1: My Heart and he also he's he's he sees like
Speaker 1: eighty percent of those royalties and the producer was like,
Speaker 1: that's not fair, and it's like it was an interpolation.
Speaker 1: You're like, it's okay either way. We know what song
Speaker 1: you are, what you are going, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: replicate or using it. Yeah, one hundred and fifty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars bill every month. Yeah, Yeah, that's insane for
Speaker 1: a song for a song that now we hear maybe
Speaker 1: what two times a year. Yeah, at the time it
Speaker 1: was at the top of the chart weeks. Yeah, at
Speaker 1: the time, it was yeah, that's just been scale when
Speaker 1: it's at his most popular five thousand right now, two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars bro not even about like twenty
Speaker 1: six bucks, you know what I mean? Yeah, about this
Speaker 1: to McDonald's, about this thing. How about this thing? If
Speaker 1: you hear it on the radio, plan call me and
Speaker 1: I'll send you five k right. If you don't call me,
Speaker 1: don't call me. And another thing that's sting would be
Speaker 1: on a radio every day, turning dial, turning the dial. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh now, sh dad, what are you doing? That's not
Speaker 1: that's mine too, but I think it should be noted.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of artists that have worked with
Speaker 1: him at Bad Boy in the past, they say, you know,
Speaker 1: he's janking. I believe it, you know, did he you know?
Speaker 1: They say, oh yeah, we'll get this, and then he
Speaker 1: owned everything. So in a way, a lot of people like,
Speaker 1: maybe are you using Who's who's really paying for this?
Speaker 1: Who is it? Other artists? Royalties? Anyway, just something to consider.
Speaker 1: But also he's saying he cheat, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this dude made this dude made remember making
Speaker 1: the band when he made them walk to Brooklyn and
Speaker 1: go getting them the Junior's cheesecake. Yeah good Junior. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When he had the man singing like are they were
Speaker 1: singing and fighting and battling with each other with vocals,
Speaker 1: I knew something once up, I said, this man is weird.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back to talk about new Easter traditions right after this.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and y'all, did anybody have easter plans?
Speaker 1: Anybody really didn't know it was easter? Bro I didn't realize.
Speaker 1: Just no, Target's gonna be closed. FYI. Target closes on East.
Speaker 1: Target is closed. It is hard way, no, honey. I've
Speaker 1: known that since like twenty fifteen. Quick story. I think
Speaker 1: I needed like hair products or something, and I it
Speaker 1: was like Eastern. IM was going somewhere. I'm maybe going
Speaker 1: to an event and I said, I'll just stop the
Speaker 1: Target to get it. And it was closed. So, yes,
Speaker 1: this Target is closed to water. Wow? What what? Because
Speaker 1: they they respect? Hey, he has risen you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Now, Look, if I was working at Target,
Speaker 1: I'll be like, hell, yeah, we closed that easter. But
Speaker 1: as a consumer, as a consumer, you better be open.
Speaker 1: Twenty four fucking seven. I don't get earlier this year, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know if the egg prices were fucking ridiculous,
Speaker 1: like you couldn't believe, like, you know, cart a dozen
Speaker 1: would be going for like nine bucks or something fucking
Speaker 1: over ten bucks. Some places we had to we had
Speaker 1: to save all our money for Beyonce tickets. Man, it
Speaker 1: was yeah, that's true. You going, are are y'all going?
Speaker 1: I'm going twice? Yes, you're going to birthday show. I'm
Speaker 1: going to the birthday show. I'm going to the Houston Show,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to Oh that's gonna be tight, tight
Speaker 1: see the Houston Show on her birthday show. I feel
Speaker 1: like I're gonna be fucking yeah. You know, the one
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to besides the birthday show was
Speaker 1: the one in New Orleans. Yeah, you know, yeah, that
Speaker 1: energy is going to be great. Sperducer Becca is gonna
Speaker 1: be tight. Superducer Becca Roundmost in the chat, Jonathan, we
Speaker 1: gotta link up because I think you know, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I am alright, link up, link up. You know it's
Speaker 1: going down. I remember I even had like a red
Speaker 1: and black flannel tied around my waist and I was
Speaker 1: trying to get my hips going to ship in the mirror,
Speaker 1: like the video anyway, flawless right around that, Ye run
Speaker 1: around that flowless anyway. Uh back to the other savior
Speaker 1: not Beyonce, Jesus Christ obviously anyway. So because of the
Speaker 1: egg prices were so high, people were like making jokes
Speaker 1: on the internet about being like, man with the egg
Speaker 1: prices this year, y'all gonna be make I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: a fucking Easter potato. I might as well be painting
Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna waste my money on an egg.
Speaker 1: And the fucking like Potato Lobby, like their industry group
Speaker 1: apparently just thought They're like, oh shit, that's a campaign
Speaker 1: right there. And Potatoes USA, which is the name of
Speaker 1: like Big I guess the real name of Big Potato.
Speaker 1: They're now like actively trying to promote this, like they
Speaker 1: have been all kinds of little ads being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is fantastic. Their argument is that, hey, potatoes aren't
Speaker 1: as fragile, you know as eggs, you know, and also
Speaker 1: like potatoes are way easier for kids to hold than eggs,
Speaker 1: so you know there's that, which I get that, sure maybe,
Speaker 1: but yeah, like egg prices have already come down in
Speaker 1: price somewhat since those memes hit and now people are like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think you missed this. But what's funny is over
Speaker 1: at Fox when they saw this, they took this as
Speaker 1: like an opportunity to make it about how Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is trying to destroy Easter all because the potato people
Speaker 1: are like, hey, why don't you try a fucking Easter potato.
Speaker 1: The lower third, like on Jesse Water Show, said say
Speaker 1: hello to your new Easter bunny. And it's like a
Speaker 1: picture of like a potato with like a top hat
Speaker 1: on and a cane like the monopoly man. And then
Speaker 1: this will then Jesse Waters talking to fucking cultural culture
Speaker 1: critic Adam Corolla and on the lower third it says
Speaker 1: they're the Chiron when they're talking, says, Dems want you
Speaker 1: to paint potatoes. Calm the fuck on, I don't look.
Speaker 1: I'll always like an egg. I've never I've actually never
Speaker 1: painted a real egg. That's you never taught you never
Speaker 1: died an egg? I think once and oh you know,
Speaker 1: oh whoa, whoa, whoa. I just had to I just
Speaker 1: had I just remember when it happened. I was like
Speaker 1: six years old, and my grandma and grandpa they were like,
Speaker 1: you know, they're Christian, they want to, you know, really
Speaker 1: make sure. We were getting all turned up for Easter
Speaker 1: and got those like old dye kids. You know where
Speaker 1: you dunk the egg? I remember spilt how all the
Speaker 1: I spilt all that die on, like on like my
Speaker 1: grandmother's table cloth or something. And she was like never,
Speaker 1: She's like, she's a very she was a very neat woman.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you she was. She was like Jesus
Speaker 1: could have stayed dead for this. Yeah. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I'm real talk. I mean like she had those parts
Speaker 1: of the house where I was like, you ain't sitting
Speaker 1: in there. I'm like, yeah, no, yeah, I know that.
Speaker 1: I know that. I never thought so. And then after that,
Speaker 1: I remember we wasn't painting eggs there anymore. And she
Speaker 1: got the plastic one. She got plastic ones. She's liken
Speaker 1: y'all put the stickers on these plastic ones this year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, oh god, you can't even get a real
Speaker 1: yolk no more because you spilled. No. No, I stopped
Speaker 1: doing it because I grew up. But Joa was witnessed
Speaker 1: and so we weren't allowed to paint them. But the
Speaker 1: first year that I did get to paint them. I
Speaker 1: ate too many of them. Make up sick because I
Speaker 1: was like literally like nine or two, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: same thing. Eggs delicious, I swear, I swear Easter eggs
Speaker 1: tastes different with that die die that die seep in
Speaker 1: just moving through yea and permeates the the actual egg. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so good eating eating food coloring. I used to love
Speaker 1: I used to love listen. I used to love Easter. Shit.
Speaker 1: I grew up in a very Christian household as well,
Speaker 1: so Easter was, you know, basically a second Christmas as
Speaker 1: far as importance goes. And we used to die to eggs,
Speaker 1: get the Easter baskets due to Easter hunts, go to
Speaker 1: church for seventy two hours. Like we did all of it, man,
Speaker 1: we did all of it. How old are you? Like,
Speaker 1: how old are you within the like your generation of
Speaker 1: kids in your family, like the oldest? Are you a
Speaker 1: younger me? I'm neil. I'm well. I grew up an
Speaker 1: only child until I got stepbrothers when I was like fourteen,
Speaker 1: So but I grew up in a house full of people.
Speaker 1: So yeah your stuff, like yeah yeah, so with like
Speaker 1: all in so it was like a bunch of cousins,
Speaker 1: and so within that hierarchy, I was probably like the
Speaker 1: second tier as far as age goes, for all the
Speaker 1: people who are always around each other that weren't painting
Speaker 1: right right right, yeah, like yeah, yeah, so I was
Speaker 1: like the second tier of folks. I'm like, I was
Speaker 1: the oldest in my family in the way when my
Speaker 1: grandparents would let us loose in the backyard or start
Speaker 1: looking for eggs, and I was snatching them the fuck
Speaker 1: up like my younger cousins who were like barely walking
Speaker 1: and show. I'm like, keep the funk out my way.
Speaker 1: I'm getting his egg. Remember I remember they were like,
Speaker 1: you need to stop, and I fucking got so mad
Speaker 1: because I was a kid and I couldn't fucking process why.
Speaker 1: I'm like, but I can go faster than them, and
Speaker 1: that's why I should be a merri based egg search,
Speaker 1: and if you want, you should do a second tier
Speaker 1: eg search for the fucking the scrubs over here who
Speaker 1: have limited motor skills due to their young age. Anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: also listen, paint painting, A painting, A paint and a
Speaker 1: potato that should seem kind of fun. I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to eat them after, but like, but there's a lot
Speaker 1: you can do with it. You can paint it. It
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I would have so much fun with that.
Speaker 1: It's not a perfect egg shape anyway, it is what
Speaker 1: it is. Hey, you know, celebrate however, you have to
Speaker 1: go bang on the door as a target and demand
Speaker 1: they let you in if you want, or maybe go
Speaker 1: to church for seventy two hours, do whatever you want
Speaker 1: to do, or you know, just fucking vibe out and
Speaker 1: sucking watch the rock on the fucking TNT because it's
Speaker 1: probably gonna be on knocked out exactly what to Becca say?
Speaker 1: Becca Becca said, Once I went to school, I got
Speaker 1: in trouble, so my mom punished us by making my
Speaker 1: brother and I go to all the Easter services at
Speaker 1: our Catholic church by ourselves. Just dropped us off of
Speaker 1: the day. She might as well just put y'all off
Speaker 1: for adoption. That's that's terrible, man, terrible. All right, Well,

Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. There's this from Mickey Jan two three four.
Speaker 1: You guys know that meme of the black lady with
Speaker 1: like the long figuernails, the pink lipstick, the long haired
Speaker 1: searching a computer. And so it's that meme and the
Speaker 1: caption is ME tracking my package even though I just

Speaker 1: do that shit, well I that should be like the
Speaker 1: label creating yet yeah, man, the process goddamn order hasn't

Speaker 1: then and then Trump facing thirty four fell in accounts
Speaker 1: that carry a one hundred and thirty six year max sentency,
Speaker 1: please knock you to to y'all tall accounts. David da
Speaker 1: Vinci I think wrote one hundred and thirty six years
Speaker 1: he fighted in a Rico boy. I got Rico charges
Speaker 1: as well. Some tweets I'm liking, ed Burmilla at ed
Speaker 1: bur Milla tweeted, you were just talking about the Chicago
Speaker 1: Maryal race in the last episode. Tweeted like he's tweeted
Speaker 1: like seven cops will quit in Chicago, all age fifty
Speaker 1: six and with full pensions and jobs lined up in
Speaker 1: a suburb so they can double dip pensions when they're
Speaker 1: seventy and retiring to the villages. And in the next
Speaker 1: few months, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Wappo, et
Speaker 1: cetera will interview each one of them four hundred times,
Speaker 1: which feels about right. This cop left to the Chicago
Speaker 1: force when Brandon Johnson was elected. Now he owns nine
Speaker 1: hundred lambeaus in Florida because his pension is lit. It
Speaker 1: is usually the thrust of that any other ones I had,
Speaker 1: Oh no, There's just a really interesting moment where Representative
Speaker 1: Justin Jones, who's a Tennessee state representative, you know, currently
Speaker 1: one of the Democrats that the GOP was, They like,
Speaker 1: they're trying to expel some of these Democratic representatives who
Speaker 1: I believe are I think all of them are black,
Speaker 1: but correct me if I'm wrong. But for basically protesting
Speaker 1: the lack of gun legislation that is going through the
Speaker 1: state House at a time when they've just had a
Speaker 1: terrible shooting, and he just goes off on these people
Speaker 1: just talking about, oh, you want to expel me, let
Speaker 1: me talk about some people that have been in here.
Speaker 1: And I just want to play a little bit of
Speaker 1: this clip of you know, Representative justin Thomas's words, he's taken,
Speaker 1: He's taken a dramatic zip of water. Right now, let's
Speaker 1: talk about expulsion. For years. One of your colleagues who
Speaker 1: with an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber, no expulsion.
Speaker 1: One member sits in this chamber who was bound guilty
Speaker 1: of domestic violence, no expulsion. We had a former speaker
Speaker 1: sits in this chamber who is now under federal investigation,
Speaker 1: no expulsion. We have a member still under federal investigation,
Speaker 1: no expulsion. It goes on and on and on, and
Speaker 1: I think you know does a good job underscoring when
Speaker 1: the when the time comes to expel people from calling
Speaker 1: you out versus you know, covering for the homies. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we could do it a little bit less of that
Speaker 1: kind of coverage for each other, especially when we're trying
Speaker 1: to do shit like protect fucking kids and teachers and
Speaker 1: ship and they're just trying to work to school as
Speaker 1: well as just you know, numerous other people that you
Speaker 1: know diet needlessly from gun violence. Anyway, check that out.
