Speaker 1: just with a friend. Yeah it was me and you
Speaker 1: remember my my rap homey Vix. We we just rolled
Speaker 1: up there and a torrential downpour had happened, like the
Speaker 1: day that we got in text. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about like regular like yo, it rained. I mean
Speaker 1: like streets were flooded type rain. Right, So so we
Speaker 1: were like, all right, this sucks. This is like a
Speaker 1: bad Southwest experience. But we waited for the rain to end,
Speaker 1: and we were like, yo, we got a bag full
Speaker 1: of CDs and some prayers, let's just go anyway. Right, So,
Speaker 1: like we're walking the streets and slowly people start coming
Speaker 1: back outside and ship and you know, the streets are
Speaker 1: drying up, and like we're walking by this street and
Speaker 1: somebody yells out at me like hey, yo, what's up,
Speaker 1: And like me and Micks turned around and I'm not
Speaker 1: wearing my glasses, I can't see ship. But Vix is like, yo,
Speaker 1: that's already the rugged man. I'm like where He's like yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like flagging us over. So like we started walking
Speaker 1: over to him already the ruggy man standing outside of
Speaker 1: some bar. He's wearing a bathroom for who knows what
Speaker 1: reasons like that. But then he DAPs me up. He
Speaker 1: DAPs me up and starts talking to me like he's
Speaker 1: known me for fifty years, and I'm just sitting there
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So afterwards, you know, it
Speaker 1: was just it was just that sort of exchange. We're
Speaker 1: walking back at my homie big just like yo, do
Speaker 1: you know r A? And you didn't tell me, Like yo,
Speaker 1: I never meant that they gave my mother in my life.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's drunk, he might be, he might be in
Speaker 1: de rated. I don't know. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: wasn't who he was thinking he was. But everybody who
Speaker 1: saw it, I thought I was the ship. So that's
Speaker 1: so funny. Yeah, that's that man, that's that fucking south
Speaker 1: By magic. Yeah. I met this, like I'll tell you
Speaker 1: this really, this this older white British gentleman I met
Speaker 1: who was like real enthusiastic and excited after my show,
Speaker 1: and I was drunk, so I was like, yeah, man, whatever,
Speaker 1: looking at Exchange contact and I'm googled this naven. Later
Speaker 1: he was like the he was like the chief economist
Speaker 1: for Spotify until two thousand nineteen. Oh really, man, Hey
Speaker 1: that's how that that's how that stuff happens. We're just like,
Speaker 1: you know, you just run into it already recommended the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Who knows? Go on? Kept Jack White playing solo in
Speaker 1: the laundromat parking lot, which happened in my first year
Speaker 1: at south By Southwest Texas. Yeah, stay as well. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: there's some like wild So this episode we only talked
Speaker 1: about the news a little bit because the world is
Speaker 1: a ghetto, and this time about some dog shit that
Speaker 1: we happening. Yeah, y'alling pretty much. Guess what we're gonna
Speaker 1: you know some of the things I talked about Texas
Speaker 1: well with Texas Ship. So I mean, I'm sorry, Like,
Speaker 1: so you got this, uh this from Yahoo News. A
Speaker 1: suburban Fort Worth house runoff Republican debate. The Republicans are
Speaker 1: debate a bill that would give women the death penalty
Speaker 1: for abortion. Um, is that I mean it's not like
Speaker 1: here like if you have an abortion, We're gonna fucking
Speaker 1: murder you. That's that's super pro life. You didn't know.
Speaker 1: You didn't know, that's that old Testament pro life. We're
Speaker 1: just so pro life you might kill him, motherfucker. I
Speaker 1: mean that's not John Brown did like all your throat
Speaker 1: but in all, in all seriousness though, like do you remember,
Speaker 1: well maybe you don't, but like I remember when Trump
Speaker 1: was running in and he was doing an interview with
Speaker 1: Chris Matthews, and like Chris Matthews asked him like, so
Speaker 1: do you think that there should be punishment for women
Speaker 1: who get abortion? And Trump was like like, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I think women there's got to be
Speaker 1: some punishment. They have to pay, some sort of price,
Speaker 1: something something up. He wouldn't specify what, but then it
Speaker 1: looked like he got the talking points from like the
Speaker 1: you know, the anti abortion lobby, but they were like, no, no,
Speaker 1: we don't don't call that far yet, don't go that
Speaker 1: far yet. So he walked it back and I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what this. You know. I think Texas,
Speaker 1: the Texas Republicans are just feeling themselves with the fascism
Speaker 1: ship right now, you know what I mean, They're like, Yo,
Speaker 1: we're making gay kids illegal. Uh sucking. You can pick
Speaker 1: on trans people, all right, Yeah, let's kill women if
Speaker 1: they get abortions now too. I'm telling you, man, like
Speaker 1: these motherfucker like Trump is like a week away from
Speaker 1: just straight up yelling the N word at one of
Speaker 1: these at the rally, and like what's people's reactions inter me,
Speaker 1: We shall see, but it's coming. It's coming. It's interesting
Speaker 1: how that like the decision you know that we have
Speaker 1: to like finalize about whether we're going to live into
Speaker 1: democracy or under fascism is not even all is happening
Speaker 1: in Republican primaries. Like it's not even a real conversation
Speaker 1: that Democrats are left leaning folks are part of. It's
Speaker 1: not up. It's like not it's up to them to
Speaker 1: decide whether that they're going to be an overtly fascist
Speaker 1: party or just like you know, crypto fascist is kind
Speaker 1: of generally shitty. You know, we're gonna be the party
Speaker 1: of George Bush? Are we going to be the party
Speaker 1: of um? I don't or whatever. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a debate. I think Trump, I mean, Trump is like
Speaker 1: crushing every everybody in any sort of primary pole. So
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the nomination should he choose to accept it.
Speaker 1: And I mean they're just really being embraced. I know,
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about the rest of Ukraine situation much,
Speaker 1: but the Republicans are being super brazen in their like support,
Speaker 1: not eat their support of like Putin, but not even
Speaker 1: on the brow of like anything that's like policy driven,
Speaker 1: but it like seems to be like strictly like yo,
Speaker 1: Putin doesn't like the games, and you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: and he's a strong man, so we funk with the
Speaker 1: better better better to be that than a Democrat, you know,
Speaker 1: like like all that sort of ship. Now again, I
Speaker 1: hate having to give like any sort of disclaimers like yo,
Speaker 1: I'm not really I'm not like a Democrat like that,
Speaker 1: and I don't you know, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it's like one team or one side is
Speaker 1: clearly clearly going in the direction that it just seems
Speaker 1: like it's it's it's like it's why I'm not you know,
Speaker 1: the story that we're going to talk about later on
Speaker 1: that I won't spoil, but like it's why that situation
Speaker 1: doesn't really have me like shocked or surprised or anything
Speaker 1: like that, because like the whole entire veil of civility
Speaker 1: in the corb has been that ship was, that show
Speaker 1: was out the window years ago. Are you talking about?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about next? I'm talking about what
Speaker 1: the five fingers said to the motherfucking face. Okay, look,
Speaker 1: so everybody's seen that meme. So that is for full transparency,
Speaker 1: the meme of Will Smith's smagan Chris Rock in the
Speaker 1: face and it's like, you know you're Chris Rock and
Speaker 1: like Will Smith smack and you was like Monday or whatever.
Speaker 1: Well I am Chris Rock right now, and just for
Speaker 1: full transparency, Um, Will Smith, is this Delta tent edible?
Speaker 1: I had like half an hour ago. I know what?
Speaker 1: You know what Delta tennis? I know what Delta tennis?
Speaker 1: Don't you remember the like all last week that ten
Speaker 1: that I was puffing on, I didn't know what it is?
Speaker 1: Really Like, I googled it and I'm gonna be fine,
Speaker 1: but give listeners the heads up. Are you gonna get
Speaker 1: through it? But I feel it feels like going through
Speaker 1: that Willie Walker tunnel. We're like, okay, well, is it raining,
Speaker 1: is it snowing? Okay, So ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna, I guess we're gonna talk about this, uh uh,
Speaker 1: Chris Rock and Will Smith's lapping situation, because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it is definitely like some TMZ
Speaker 1: Hollywood shipped as far as I'm concerned, But just like
Speaker 1: the discourse around it, it seems to be kind of
Speaker 1: like a Rorschach test in a way in which a
Speaker 1: lot of different people across the country's are seeing a
Speaker 1: lot of different things and projecting a lot of personal
Speaker 1: things onto the situation. It's going on racial lines, it's
Speaker 1: going on ideological lines, gender line. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to unpack and discuss there.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get to that. We're also gonna get
Speaker 1: on some other stories that we have come across this week.
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, we're going to take
Speaker 1: a little break and pay some bills. All right, So
Speaker 1: how at y'all after the job? All right? So we
Speaker 1: are back labal Frank a dope knife waiting our reparation.
Speaker 1: So would you you want to get into the do
Speaker 1: you want to get into the big Willie style. First, sure,
Speaker 1: I mean, like my take on this, it's mostly in
Speaker 1: meta take um about the hot take industrial complex um,
Speaker 1: which I tried my best, like I'm very judicious with
Speaker 1: in the show, because ultimately, you know, the hot take
Speaker 1: industrial complex effectively everybody trying to like get the hottest
Speaker 1: take out there as quickly as possible to build social capital. Like, oh,
Speaker 1: out of viral tweet, I got a bunch of followers
Speaker 1: or literally in the form of like YouTube reaction videos
Speaker 1: and you know n y t think pieces or whatever
Speaker 1: that actually generate like material capital for people. And so like,
Speaker 1: I just as I think about this and the way
Speaker 1: that everyone rushes to have like the hottest take um
Speaker 1: to get you know, capital various sorts, Just like what
Speaker 1: would it mean for us as a society to just
Speaker 1: like wait, like twenty four hours, Like if it was
Speaker 1: like the Purge, only for twenty four hours, you weren't
Speaker 1: allowed to have like any hot takes. Don't like what
Speaker 1: happened the night before, Just like just go to your
Speaker 1: room and reflect on what you saw and just come
Speaker 1: back in twenty four hours after you've actually seriously given
Speaker 1: it some thought and not just like what's the most
Speaker 1: inflammator racing. I can say it and get people arguing
Speaker 1: in my mentions. So that's also like watching all this
Speaker 1: go down and everyone just saying, like you said, very
Speaker 1: disparate like interpretation the situation. I'm just like, all y'all,
Speaker 1: Nigga is trying to get clout, all y'all, Nigga is
Speaker 1: trying to get a like a deal with crack dot
Speaker 1: com or something like more insightful. Not what you're saying,
Speaker 1: it's new. I mean some of this, some of these memes.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, some of these beams are hilarious. Ass I
Speaker 1: just I mean, if I could just be what it
Speaker 1: about it. But you're not wrong though you're not hot.
Speaker 1: Take Industrial Complex that one, you know, like one excuse
Speaker 1: that will make for it is memes. You're allowed to
Speaker 1: have hot. Takee memes like jumping, like with burning the
Speaker 1: mittens thing. That was the most glorious ever two hours
Speaker 1: of my life. Oh you know it's like hit me,
Speaker 1: you know, hit me? Oh yes, I was out stroking
Speaker 1: my face as I made that sound for our listeners. Um,
Speaker 1: but no, I mean, like memes are cool, though I
Speaker 1: appreciate hopping on a meme way. I was having a
Speaker 1: good New meme template. Well, well, I mean this ship
Speaker 1: is like the Jordan's cry faced me but on crack
Speaker 1: right now because heads are pumping out sup covenient gold.
Speaker 1: But okay, so so I get your I get what
Speaker 1: your you know, opinion of it is. But there's definitely
Speaker 1: some aspects of it that I'm curious as to how
Speaker 1: you feel, as to how you know you Luke, it's
Speaker 1: not about having It is not a hot take. We
Speaker 1: do not. Our show comes out once a week, so
Speaker 1: we cannot keep it that current that we can like
Speaker 1: do hot takes anything we say at least fifteen or
Speaker 1: sixteen because I said it so right now, we're working
Speaker 1: at the bedroom that the ship happens. I'll play along
Speaker 1: and I'll like, what questions do you have about I
Speaker 1: feel about it? I'll answer, but let me go. Let
Speaker 1: me just say that I'm very smart about like four things.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all lolling other things I'm a dumb
Speaker 1: ass about, and I don't have like a formed opinion
Speaker 1: where I'm like, you know, this is one of the
Speaker 1: four things about which I am smart. I shut the
Speaker 1: funk up. I'll say, Okay, look, but I'm not the
Speaker 1: spirit of the game I will, I will form an opinion.
Speaker 1: But let's just this has nothing to do like imagine,
Speaker 1: It's just you would be having this conversation like I
Speaker 1: I will. The things that I'm wondering what your opinion
Speaker 1: is is literally like you personally, not what you think
Speaker 1: is the right thing or the what is the best strategy,
Speaker 1: just like how you feel. Like So, for example, you
Speaker 1: know what the situation was about Will Chris Rock said
Speaker 1: something about g I, Jane and Jada. It could be involved,
Speaker 1: and she's got alopecia and she was obviously upset about it.
Speaker 1: So Will's Will's uh slap word assault, whatever the hell
Speaker 1: you want to call it. That withstanding just that initial
Speaker 1: thing of like her getting ridiculed for her hair, going
Speaker 1: through this condition, being a woman, being in the room,
Speaker 1: being in that moment, in that situation, How do you
Speaker 1: feel about um or or do you have like the
Speaker 1: stance of the laing stance. I have seen some people
Speaker 1: take me like, oh, they're all rich, I don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. Well my stance is that So I'm getting
Speaker 1: who thoughts are swirling, they're the cosmos. So I'm gonna listen,
Speaker 1: listen no on what so so the abolition this to me.
Speaker 1: I bring it back all the time because this is
Speaker 1: the frame. This is my one of my primary political
Speaker 1: frameworks is understanding accountability and the problem with accountability that
Speaker 1: is set like uniformly across the nation. So everyone's weighing
Speaker 1: in about what they think should happen when they think
Speaker 1: this means who was wrong, who was right, etcetera. Whereas
Speaker 1: I think, through an abolition is lens, you would think
Speaker 1: about what does accountability and right and wrong meaning for
Speaker 1: this community of people. So it's really not so back
Speaker 1: to like, oh, it's none of my business. It's because
Speaker 1: like in a world where like we deal with harm,
Speaker 1: I think more productively and transformatively, like you know, Will
Speaker 1: and Jada and all Tyler Perry whoever pulled up and
Speaker 1: was like you know, you know, holding Denzel. Yes, So
Speaker 1: all these people would have sat down and been like,
Speaker 1: I let's talk this through. Like it's not even a
Speaker 1: signing signing who was right and wrong? Just like this
Speaker 1: is how what you did hurt me, and this is
Speaker 1: how what you did hurt me. Y'all tap it up,
Speaker 1: work it out. Everybody agrees to be better in the future.
Speaker 1: Instead what we have now, it's because we are so
Speaker 1: used to a system where like the federal government can
Speaker 1: tell you, oh, you leaked the ship about our war crimes,
Speaker 1: you are a criminal and you are going to jail
Speaker 1: unless you know, latterly deciding what's harmful. Um. People replicate
Speaker 1: that logic on fucking Twitter and Ship by being like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's my opinion what happened here over a fairly benign
Speaker 1: situation that could easily be handled by these adults of
Speaker 1: you know, immense resources, every I could just sit down.
Speaker 1: But you know they're celebrities. Oh everyone, you know, because
Speaker 1: they celebrities, everyone thinks they should have their paint. So
Speaker 1: I you know, oh, was what Chris Rock said, you
Speaker 1: know wrong? You know, was Jada Pinkett Smith being too
Speaker 1: sensitive and and taking it so seriously. It's like, that's
Speaker 1: for them, that's for them to work out. That's not
Speaker 1: you know, the second question about it, because that's for
Speaker 1: them between each other to like have a dialogue of like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is what you said hurt me, Like, hey, this
Speaker 1: is why what I said I think was okay, And
Speaker 1: I actually I see your opinion and know, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry or whatever. You know. So here's the second
Speaker 1: question I have for you, Jen Pinkett didn't say ship
Speaker 1: Like all we have is like a three second camera
Speaker 1: shot of her rolling her eyes and looking uncomfortable. So
Speaker 1: do you think that there's anything to Will Smith in
Speaker 1: his actions perhaps like silencing her in a way like
Speaker 1: I wasn't, you know, just too to flesh that out
Speaker 1: more like I wasn't even gonna, you know, really like
Speaker 1: get that in depth into this topic. But Kareem Abdul
Speaker 1: Jabbar had dropped a sub stack article today where he
Speaker 1: was just talking about his Oh yeah, Kareem Abdul got Substack,
Speaker 1: he'd be dropping flames. Well, um, so he said with
Speaker 1: a single petulant blow. He advocated violence, diminished women, insulted
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the black community.
Speaker 1: And I mean to an extent that that I kind
Speaker 1: of understand, you know, Like I, for one, I don't care.
Speaker 1: It's like this is not a situation where I think
Speaker 1: motherfucker's needs to be like, oh, really concerned about like yo,
Speaker 1: how do we look? You know what I'm saying, because
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, other fuckers think you're every stereotype.
Speaker 1: Before Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, so yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really know about that concern. But as far
Speaker 1: as like perpetuating violence and kind of giving the green
Speaker 1: light to some other ship, I know, all these fucking
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan comedians are like piste off, Like I can't
Speaker 1: believe you do that. What if somebody comes to me
Speaker 1: at the show after I call it the end word,
Speaker 1: like whatever. But I'm talking more just like interactions in life,
Speaker 1: because like these things, these big cultural mote like whether
Speaker 1: we want to accept these like celect the celebrity bullshit
Speaker 1: as being celebrity bullshit or not. It's like what American
Speaker 1: culture is based off. So these are like cultural moments.
Speaker 1: These are like you know what I'm saying, like like
Speaker 1: when these things happen, like they affect, they trickled down
Speaker 1: in effect how people who behave and interact with each
Speaker 1: other and ship like that. So I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know how much of a good look it is.
Speaker 1: It's like, Yo, somebody says something you don't like, go
Speaker 1: slap them. That's a completely different Like I don't think
Speaker 1: that I'm making like a judgment on like Yo, this
Speaker 1: is how Will Smith should have reacted. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not telling anybody how they should have reacted or saying
Speaker 1: what my opinion is about that at all? But he
Speaker 1: reacted away and it's going to have an effect. It's
Speaker 1: going to have effect. Really, I blame the Oscars. If
Speaker 1: the Oscars hadn't been filming that moment, it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: about it, It It wouldn't be a negative impact on the
Speaker 1: way people see black people, on what children think, conflict
Speaker 1: resolutions would like, whatever. So it's the Oscar's fault for
Speaker 1: I'm buying this in the fucking you know, in the
Speaker 1: getting rich people want to have an opinion boon. I
Speaker 1: think Will Smith was wrong, but no, you know what,
Speaker 1: I think it was Chris Rock himself in a bit
Speaker 1: that he did while talking about Ojen from the nineteen
Speaker 1: stand up comedy special Bigger and Blacker, And he was
Speaker 1: like talking about o j and he had this refrain
Speaker 1: that he keeps going to, like, so this this trick's
Speaker 1: out here spending his money sucking this other dude, blah blah.
Speaker 1: And now I'm not saying you should have killed him,
Speaker 1: but I understand. And then you go on up, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know is doing this he did this blah blah,
Speaker 1: And then she went into that blah blah, And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he should have killed him, but I understand now.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Will Smith should have open palm donkey
Speaker 1: slapped the ship out of Chris Rock. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that at all, but I understand. I mean just from
Speaker 1: from a from A one plus one equals to the
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Chris Rock even had another bit where
Speaker 1: he was talking about like the line that people can
Speaker 1: cross going like and arguments and ship with other people
Speaker 1: and ship like. He was talking about how you know,
Speaker 1: like women like sometimes when they're in an argument with
Speaker 1: their boyfriend, they know their boyfriend is not gonna hit them,
Speaker 1: so they just like go all out. And he was like,
Speaker 1: I would never do that. I'm a man. If I
Speaker 1: have been to argument with a man smaller than me,
Speaker 1: I know that there's a place that I just don't go.
Speaker 1: That's a Chris Rock quote. So everything's funny until it
Speaker 1: happens to you, you know what I'm saying. And that's
Speaker 1: how I look at that ship including a murder. Chris Rock,
Speaker 1: I have a funk. I mean, like doing my hypothetical
Speaker 1: murder like I had at it. Whatever, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: like enjoy it, but like, I'm not gonna tell you
Speaker 1: not to, but like an actual murdered lady bro. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And then and then people want to like try to
Speaker 1: frame it as like yo, but you know, it's the
Speaker 1: comedian's job to speak truth to the powerful in YadA YadA,
Speaker 1: and it's like, Yo, why are y'all acting like I'm
Speaker 1: sixteen years old and I don't know that at one
Speaker 1: point in time this rock made twenty billion dollars per
Speaker 1: philm Like, get the funk out of here with this
Speaker 1: ship that they're they're active anyway, forget it. But that's
Speaker 1: that's that's my general thoughts of the ship. I don't
Speaker 1: condone violence, but um, you know, don't don't don't start
Speaker 1: any any and what do what do I got? So,
Speaker 1: speaking of the oscars, um jay Z kind of stepped
Speaker 1: in it a little bit. Clearly this didn't get fun.
Speaker 1: But he had his you know, lavish um sorry, I
Speaker 1: love it. So he had you know, he had his
Speaker 1: big oscar party at show to Morman very famous hotel,
Speaker 1: the very very famous hotel where a lot of movies
Speaker 1: have been shot at, etcetera, etcetera. However, right before the
Speaker 1: pandemic this hotel and its owner had laid up almost
Speaker 1: all of its employees at the start of the pandemic
Speaker 1: without any subverance packages, cut off their health insurance boom,
Speaker 1: and so a bunch of these workers came forward talking
Speaker 1: about allegations of systemic racial discrimination and not hiring or
Speaker 1: promoting you know, people of color, particularly women with color.
Speaker 1: Sexual was conduct all this other ship and so you're
Speaker 1: not here. Local eleven Um, some you know lefties, some
Speaker 1: left you know industry folks, uh, some union reps, etcetera
Speaker 1: picketed outside of jay Z's Oscar party. Um. After having
Speaker 1: asked him for like a long time before Bryan like, yo, homie, Like,
Speaker 1: don't cross the picket line. We're mad at these bushes,
Speaker 1: Like please, don't have your party here. You can give
Speaker 1: a funk. Did they've taken it outside? It got a
Speaker 1: little heated. I mean, you know, l I p D
Speaker 1: rolled up, make sure all this celebody's getting okay. They
Speaker 1: have a private security. Um, but uh it got kind
Speaker 1: of funny. Um. Later on, apparently one person in like
Speaker 1: a like a black escalate at one point rolled down
Speaker 1: his window and said to the side of the pickets,
Speaker 1: I sell drugs to children. So just like Moss the
Speaker 1: notion that like, I guess that like rich people can
Speaker 1: be held accountable at all. I don't know. I feel like,
Speaker 1: I mean all respects, you know, all power of the workers.
Speaker 1: But that's pretty funny. This man. It's a kind of
Speaker 1: some know. He yelled down, I sell drugs to children.
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, but I wonder who that was.
Speaker 1: I will I wish we knew, I really really do.

Speaker 1: I mean, shout out to the Keith Stanfield fairly, he
Speaker 1: like addressed the crowd assembled told him you know, he
Speaker 1: expected what they were doing, although it is unclear if
Speaker 1: he went inside the party anyway. But yeah, you know
Speaker 1: he held it down a little bit. That's cool. I mean,
Speaker 1: is that I mean to see, I gotta I have
Speaker 1: to be I gotta get more specifics on that. Was
Speaker 1: he like drunk you know what I mean? Like? Was

Speaker 1: I guess if there's like harm going on in Congress,
Speaker 1: and there's hard there's there's harm, that's one thing. But
Speaker 1: if y'all are if y'all are all, if like I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm just saying. I mean, I didn't think. I
Speaker 1: thought that as with Carthur, a piece of ship to
Speaker 1: be good with. But it's like, how you how are
Speaker 1: you gonna snitch on the team? Man? How are you
Speaker 1: gonna snitch on your whole tea, the whole party, the
Speaker 1: whole party, everybody at the hotel room at night. You
Speaker 1: just all of the ship. And Jeffardy, no, you know
Speaker 1: what he's gonna he's gonna be like they walked into
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's office and there they all stood sweating, and
Speaker 1: it looked like wet curtains tangled macaroni in a pot
Speaker 1: sound it was like to Tan, It's like it's like
Speaker 1: two different shaded tan Plato globs just entangled with each other.
Speaker 1: It was it was Gress I managed she was cape,
Speaker 1: but not without No. I don't know what happened to
Speaker 1: be for it. I don't know if okay, so what's
Speaker 1: the next story. Let's hop off of this one alight
Speaker 1: to get there and I don't like it because it should.
Speaker 1: I don't like Eric Adams, Mayor of New York, is
Speaker 1: proposing to cut funding to every single department in the
Speaker 1: New York City government except the police department. You know
Speaker 1: when you when you said this, I can't couldn't believe this. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you try to defund the public school system, defaus like
Speaker 1: homeless services, everything, everything, anything, everything. You can imagine what
Speaker 1: was his did he give? What was his explanation for, um,
Speaker 1: like a crime? There was two police officers killed. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: um uh, violent crimes are up, even though most other
Speaker 1: kinds of crimes are down. Whatever. Whatever. Um, he's getting
Speaker 1: real drummed up by like right wing like hysteria about
Speaker 1: bail reform all this ship. And so it just seems like,
Speaker 1: you know, him, being a former cop, is just trying
Speaker 1: to like look after his people. Um, so he's a
Speaker 1: right winger, how it's been Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: I haven't know that, but you know the shades of
Speaker 1: right wing. You know, he's that that blue D right
Speaker 1: winger apparently going to be a blue D. And then
Speaker 1: I walked into I watched it, just Senator Schumer's office,
Speaker 1: and there was nothing Blue blue D everywhere, smurf blue
Speaker 1: blue someone pleasing cyan Yo. Anyway, I'm sorry, we're talking
Speaker 1: about Blue D. Let's let's talk about that's long. I'm
Speaker 1: blue du right, no Yo. I used to think that
Speaker 1: song was by the Blue Band Group back in the day.
Speaker 1: I really did. Hell No, it's like two, It's like
Speaker 1: two different It's like two different groups of eggs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I am blue dobad dobada, and the Blue Man
Speaker 1: Group I like, like so far apart from being even
Speaker 1: remotely the same thing that explains why they different blues.
Speaker 1: I never understood the different blues and the thing. I
Speaker 1: don't even think the Blue Men Group talked like that
Speaker 1: to be having a song where they're singing like three verses.
Speaker 1: I saw the Blue Man Group when I was in
Speaker 1: LA in middle school, not to realize did they come
Speaker 1: to your school or something? The awesome like the Colosseum
Speaker 1: thing in Yeah, and then would have been let all right,
Speaker 1: we're drifted, we're drifting. Let's read let's retarget it, let's
Speaker 1: re target it, all right, Yeah, I mean all I
Speaker 1: gotta say, Eric Adams is just worse than anyone could
Speaker 1: have possibly imagined. Do you think that Andrew Yang would
Speaker 1: have been better. Not that you think that Andre Yank
Speaker 1: is good, but like, now that we know what Eric
Speaker 1: Adams is doing, do you what do you think of Canadas? Eric?
Speaker 1: I feel like Andrew Yang is bought and paid for
Speaker 1: by worse even something if you can't imagine worse influences
Speaker 1: than the police. Yeah, but like like let's poison like
Speaker 1: well Water and the Yemen if it's going to make
Speaker 1: a million dollars as I think, I think Andrew Yang
Speaker 1: would have done like a Scooby Doo And it's like
Speaker 1: ha ha it was a Republican I mean that's what
Speaker 1: we're finding over and over again, right like suddenly mansions
Speaker 1: this villain people get an office, They're like, you can't
Speaker 1: kill me, bitch, and something's just like yeah, Joe mentioned
Speaker 1: really like threw up. It was like you can't kill me.
Speaker 1: I'll live. I'll live forever. Oh man, Yeah, man, that's funny.
Speaker 1: So wait are we are? We had a new stories?
Speaker 1: Always just talk about random ship? Man? You know, did
Speaker 1: we did we let Will Smith in Madison Carthorne's Blue
Speaker 1: de dominate our conversation? Is that what we just did?
Speaker 1: We really? I'm gonna I'm gonna I always try to
Speaker 1: think on the bright side. I'm gonna hope, not optimism.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pray that. No. Oh, here's here's the
Speaker 1: last story. Okay, I got the last story. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm not even gonna go into any
Speaker 1: of the any six of it. Just gonna give you
Speaker 1: the rundown. Right. So, the January six Committee, they're investigating
Speaker 1: Trump all that, Right, So they got the call logs
Speaker 1: from the White House that day, right, and there's an
Speaker 1: eight hour gap in Trump's communications. That's like literally the
Speaker 1: eight hours that the storm and the Capital ship was
Speaker 1: taking place. So so I don't know what circumstances came
Speaker 1: through for this, but someone asked Trump about it, and
Speaker 1: like unprompted, he was like, I've never heard of a
Speaker 1: burner phone. I don't know what that is. What are
Speaker 1: you talking about? What you do your hands pretty length?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Underrest? Yeah? Okay, So what
Speaker 1: do you think of Trump's burner phones? Cly think it's
Speaker 1: this hustling. What the fucking thing he was doing the
Speaker 1: whole time? Like, gess what I'm trying. I've been thinking
Speaker 1: about this ship all day and it's like, yeah, okay, oh,
Speaker 1: we we've seen video of him, like watching the ship
Speaker 1: on video. We know he was all giddy about that ship.
Speaker 1: So I'm just imagining this dude like in like a
Speaker 1: back room somewhere, just like juggling between two different phones,
Speaker 1: like yes, yes, alright, you guys go now all right,
Speaker 1: that was yo, bench Burd. I'm gonna call you back
Speaker 1: in one second, right, I got I got the oathkeepers
Speaker 1: on the other line, right, just coordinating the whole thing, stupidly.
Speaker 1: Make sure you're rub ship on the walls the Capitol
Speaker 1: police like how's it going? Oh you pleut them inside? Oh? Man, man, alright,
Speaker 1: like fashions open if you can't laugh sometimes, man, should
Speaker 1: you bleak his hell out here? There's so much in
Speaker 1: this episode. Alright, So the moral of this one, alright,
Speaker 1: y'all is, uh, burner phones. Burner phones also, you know,
Speaker 1: like sticks of stones, they break your bones, but you
Speaker 1: know you might get slapped if you talk about people.
Speaker 1: And then the other one is, um, do better vetting
Speaker 1: at the orgies because not everybody's down for the costs.
Speaker 1: Just a public service announcement, public health announcements to I mean,
Speaker 1: like you know, take care yourself out there. Well. Like
Speaker 1: most good things, this two must come to an end
Speaker 1: with me linger Franca, my friend. They know what we're
Speaker 1: about to do, dope knife, so take it out of you.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that was that was whack ye Can you
Speaker 1: can you give us a beating so that we can
Speaker 1: wrap for real? Please? Oh yeah? What what waiting a reparations?
Speaker 1: I should have started there, shouldn't I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I left that. Yeah yeah, yo yo, And
Speaker 1: now I don't hear stuff if it bores me, I'm dope,
Speaker 1: like the lines of Republican Noorgy. You look into my hands, yo,
Speaker 1: there's something I'm forging. It's a microphone. When I spit,
Speaker 1: you fucking adore me in ten seconds. Down in Texas,
Speaker 1: they're trying to give out the death sentence. In Florida,
Speaker 1: they're thinking Haitian is the best lesson you can't even coach.
Speaker 1: So I'm just guessing everybody thinking they dope, but they
Speaker 1: bench president. I've been fresh and wrapping up goofy thought
Speaker 1: they was bigger with black and got smacked in the
Speaker 1: pookie A two piece do it with true ease, and
Speaker 1: then the show wraps, not using no loose leaf about
