1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: I think it was a great choice because anything that

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: boris added to immediately becomes better, just like saying yeah,

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: when you became the voice of Comedy Central, stock went up.

4
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: I disagree. Now that's where I'll disagree.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: I am.

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 4: I think.

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: I think under the Kyle Kin name regime, they were,

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: they were pretty good. And now they say.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 3: Park just twenty fifth anniversary. That doesn't happen by accident.

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: The Daily Show is stronger than it's ever been stronger.

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: You had a black daily show. Now that's me.

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: You know what the streets were calling for a black

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: daily show. You're rid of yo, MTV reps. We want

00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: A racist.

Speaker 5: The money.

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: Stuff I can't tell me. Yup, yup, yup.

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,280

Speaker 2: sure that you would do that.

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know when did when did you

00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,960

00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: Bory?

61
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that hurts.

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: He's been here for long enough. If you're really a.

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: Fan, you would know, goddamn it.

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I've gone onto the podcast app and listened to episodes

65
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: with the like like Yasser's upisode, and I think I've

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: listened to like Garrick's or somebody's like, but these were

67
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: this was all like during COVID maybe or like. So

68
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: I didn't know that there was like a new change

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: up to them. When I heard you were gonna be

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: on it too, I was like, oh, two for one,

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: let's go.

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bory has proven himself to be an essential player here.

73
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: We value his his membership very much. And and yeah,

74
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: probably the last like twelve episodes you can hear his

75
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: voice in all of them. I would say, maybe, all right,

76
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: we've bullshitted long enough. Because you came with the conspiracy

77
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: theory that frankly I had never heard of Bory. I

78
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: think you said you had Yeah.

79
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: This, Bory, you knew about this because it's an African

80
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: thing like this is like Ethiopia is. One of their

81
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: claims to fame is that we don't jump.

82
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: The gun here.

83
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: Shit, well, we got to intro it. I love I

84
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: love the enthusiasm. But you said, my mama told me

85
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: the Arc of the Covenant is hidden in a church

86
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: in Ethiopia. Yes, tell us more, tell us everything you know. Okay,

87
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: So my parents.

88
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: Are Ethiopian, you know, born there, moved to America in

89
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: like the eighties, and one of my dad's favorite pastimes

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: is tell me about Ethiopian history and lore and just

91
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: having a lot of pride. He's always saying things like

92
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: Ethiopia was never colonized, Ethiopia beat Italy. They tried to

93
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: get us. We beat there twice. You know, there's a

94
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of pride, and that's that. I

95
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: think that's like central to the Ethiopian ethos is this

96
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: kind of superiority complex, like they think they're great.

97
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: Oh you think that's just you guys.

98
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: Oh, tell me, tell me what it's like over there,

99
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: Sierra Leone.

100
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: We also think we're great. That's all I happen.

101
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: All Africans think they're the best Africans.

102
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like, yeah, I will say that that

103
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: we we did an episode earlier this year about a

104
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: different Ethiopian conspiracy theory, or at least somewhat rooted in

105
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: Ethiopian conspiracy theory. But I discovered, and I didn't know this,

106
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: that Wakanda is theoretically based on Ethiopia. That like, wow,

107
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: y'all are the inspiration for this idealistic society existing on

108
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: the African eight. And part of it is the fact

109
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: that you guys, to your point, are one of the

110
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: few nations that has never been colonized and had like

111
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: a bunch of wealth at certain points that like far

112
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: exceeded everybody else.

113
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: You know. I've been to Ethiopia and let me just

114
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: say the movie is not an accurate depiction. They really

115
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: upped it. But yeah, I think there is like this

116
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of like you know, Hyla Selassie was like this

117
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: dude who created the African Union and a bunch of

118
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: people have like pride over him being like the last

119
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: emperor all this stuff. I did not know that though

120
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know what kinda was based on that. Who

121
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: brought does Solomon Georgio bring that in?

122
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 6: Oh?

123
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 3: That sounds like something he would know.

124
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: I feel like it might have been Solomon who came

125
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: with what kinda is real? If I'm not Missay So

126
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm not a big Wakanda guy. I'm just saying that.

127
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: Oh shit, that's a hard stance.

128
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Okay.

129
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: When you saw.

130
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: David, when you saw the movie where.

131
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: You like, we have to do this now because this

132
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: is why I don't have a Twitter.

133
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: Well, let's put her on the record. Let's get it

134
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: out there. When when you saw the movie where you like,

135
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: finally like African excellence depicted, how did you feel?

136
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: I felt like in the movie they were like, we

137
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: have this magical space rock that makes us better than

138
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: the rest of the Africans. They said it. They literally said,

139
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: then we would be like the rest of them. Well

140
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: I'm the rest of them, sucker, dick. That's how I

141
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: felt about that whole shit. I have the one superhero

142
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: movie based in Africa, and you still fight Africans at

143
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: the end. So now the major war is still black

144
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: people for black people. That's it, Say who, that's crazy.

145
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: You've been mad about this the whole.

146
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: Time since I went in the theater.

147
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: And you know what, that's why a lot of people

148
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: left the movie being like kill Monger was right was

149
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: because that was basically his point. He was like, you

150
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: guys got all this power, all this money, all these weapons,

151
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: and you're not sharing it with anybody, and.

152
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: They're actively hating on everybody else. Damn. But no, sure,

153
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: go save the fucking do what the EU wants you

154
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: to do.

155
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: But but they do open the borders at the end

156
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: of it. That's what they say that they're they're welcoming

157
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: the world in.

158
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: That's the ending of it.

159
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: True.

160
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: But he only changed that way because kill Monger like

161
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: had rubbed off on him, right.

162
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: He was like, I don't know how they hadn't seen

163
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: it before.

164
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if you beat my ass afterwards, I

165
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: rethink some things. That's what they got. He got punched

166
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: in the fucking jar and he was like, you know

167
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: what I do got to be a better person. And

168
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: that's kind of nice. That's a good moral of the story.

169
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: We are not here. I just know a few other

170
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: Africans who feel the same way I did about that movie.

171
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: Well, what I will say that's accurate, that ties back

172
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: to what we're talking about, is that he's tied. Is

173
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: that like Ethiopians, and I've heard this from other Africans too.

174
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: They have a feeling of being better, you know, and

175
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: like you were saying, clearly young people think they're better,

176
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: and like I've heard my aunt say terrible things. She'll

177
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: be like, oh, you're not black, you know Ethiopian and

178
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: like shit like that, where you're like, Yo, you're black, dude,

179
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: what are you talking about?

180
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: You know, the diaspora is very complicated.

181
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like these older people who come to America.

182
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: You know what I think it's it's rooted in. It's

183
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: like people you're you know, you're you're African. You live

184
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: in a country where everyone looks like you. You come to

185
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: America and then you see how black people get treated

186
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, let me separate myself so

187
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't get like something like that. It's like my

188
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: model minority type bullshit happens. And I guess that's what

189
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: Black Panther accurately depicted with that attitude.

190
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: I will say that that is what you're speaking to

191
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: is as an American black person, what sort of like

192
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: for us is the thing where y'all are like man people,

193
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: all the black people always hating on Africans some of

194
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: it and some of it's obviously so like some of

195
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: it is because y'all motherfuckers walk around constantly telling us

196
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: you're better than us.

197
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 3: It is true and like and then like but like

198
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: also while wearing like penny loafers and track bands.

199
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, you got on the same school uniform

200
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: I do, Bro, how much better than me?

201
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing is it's coming. It's never

202
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: coming from people. Our age is coming from a dude

203
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: driving your uber telling you that, and then you're like, bro,

204
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: come on, like.

205
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: I mean, but they're not just driving ubers. There's a

206
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: bunch of Nigerian really everything.

207
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: I would say, Nigerians are the most educated I think

208
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: diaspora group in general, not even just African groups, Like

209
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: they're the highest educator, right, really, this is what That's

210
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: what OPI told me. He said that, yeah that, like

211
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's true because like Nigerians are rich,

212
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: they're all like there's so much businessmen, lawyers. But I

213
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: haven't I don't know. I can't speak for Nigerian's. I

214
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: haven't heard Nigerian saying that. I don't know, but I

215
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: know I have heard it from older Ethiopian people, and

216
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: I think that like it's it's all part of that.

217
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: And the Ark of the Covenant thing is that they

218
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: think that in this church, in this place called Oxom,

219
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: that this Ethiopian hang Menialik brought back the arc like

220
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: centuries and centuries ago and brought it to this church,

221
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: and I think from Israel.

222
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: Right.

223
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: We'll get into some of this in the research, but

224
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 2: basically he's believed to have stolen it from Solomon's son

225
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: that like Solomon had like a bastard child that he

226
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: that showed up late in life, and Solomon gifted him

227
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: the Arc of the Covenant, and then that dude fucked

228
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: with Ethiopia super hard and was gonna like travel to

229
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: Ethiopia to like kick it. But in meeting up with

230
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: this this emperor dude, the Emperor dude tricked him and

231
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: replaced the arc with a fake one and then stole

232
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: the other joint.

233
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: See it's like that that level of detail is what

234
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: my dad knows. I know. I just know the basic part,

235
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: which is that in this church in ox Room, and

236
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: they appoint people to be guards, and if you're appointed,

237
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: it's like a supreme court, whereas for life, you are

238
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: a guard and you're and the only people that are

239
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: allowed to look at it is that I've read things

240
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: that say that there are two guards. I've read things

241
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: that say that they're one and they switch off. But

242
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: that's the only person allowed to lay eyes on it.

243
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: So if you were trying to do some independent research

244
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: and verify if it was real, you're not allowed to.

245
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: And see that sounds crazy because if you're a guard

246
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: for life, I'll beat your ass at eighty do you

247
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like, I'll just wait til you

248
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: get old and then I'm gonna go look at that

249
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: goddamn mark, you know, if.

250
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: You weren't supposed to look at it. And maybe that's

251
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: just is that what happened in the movie. I thought

252
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: if you looked at it, your face was gonna melt.

253
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what Indiana Jones said.

254
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 7: I feel like they just text, Yeah, they needed it

255
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 7: to be like some some like shit for the movie

256
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 7: so that there was like a surprise or whatever.

257
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: But in that's not in the Ethiopian text. They just

258
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: think that this is the shit that held the stone

259
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: tablets that have the Ten Commandments on them, and it's

260
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: like a wooden thing that's caked in gold, and it's

261
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: like the original shit that like Moses had, right, yeah, yeah, and.

262
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: That's the belief that Moses was like, hey, y'all build

263
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: a container for the commandments, and then they did that.

264
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I also read this other thing that said

265
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: that the guards are trained in hand to hand combat,

266
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: to like fight anyone who comes up. Now, what I

267
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: don't know is when you do get to be eighty,

268
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: like you're saying, do they then go like, bro, you

269
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: got to retire. You're not going to be a very

270
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: good guard. Like, you can't choose to retire, They'll retire

271
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: you because they like know that you know.

272
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question. Also my question, what is

273
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 3: just like some type of Ethiopian kung fu, Like what

274
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: is this? Because I'm impressed if you guys have your

275
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: own karate.

276
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: I've never heard of any Ethiopian fighting style. I would

277
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: say that's not good news.

278
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Never A lot of people are gonna listen to this

279
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: and be like, I'm gonna go see that fucking arc.

280
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: Because if there was an Ethiopian fighting style, I think

281
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: we would be good at any sport other than long

282
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: distance running. That's the only thing we can do, and

283
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: it's the like only non contact type like non combat,

284
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: non strength based thing. Damn yeah, like that, that's that's

285
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: the one thing we dominated. Any other type of sport

286
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: like that takes. They always say this, They say, like

287
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: East Africa's slow twitch muscles, West Africa is fast switch,

288
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,479
Speaker 1: so all of the like yeah, yeah, so it's like sprints,

289
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: football whatever.

290
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: Wait, who always says that? That's why? I never who

291
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: always says.

292
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: That athletes like Iran tracking white athletes.

293
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: It sounds like, don't let him say that.

294
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: It's that sounds like some eugenic ship that's like fucked up,

295
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: But it's actually a term in kinesiology like fast switch

296
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: and slow twitch muscle.

297
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: No I know about I know, I know about muscle

298
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: fast fibers. I'm talking about regional, regional African benefits of

299
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: muscle fibers. Sounds like fucking phrenology. And I wouldn't let

300
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: some white boys sprinter talk to me like that.

301
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: I think it sounds like you're you're saying, Joe Rogan

302
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: is an athlete, and listen, he can kick the ship

303
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: out of a bag, but I I wouldn't call him

304
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: an athlete.

305
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: I heard this from track coaches all through like I

306
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: ran cross country and high school and college, and they

307
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: would say, like all of the world records can be

308
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: traced to West Africa in sprints, and all the world

309
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: records in distances five thousand and above can be traced

310
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: to East Africa. And they were like, it's due to

311
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: just you know, like in East Africa, all lots of

312
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: things are at altitude and you're just growing up in

313
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: that way, and over time, people it's like weight training

314
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: because it's like you get so good at training when

315
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: there's like no oxygen in the air, and then you

316
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: go to sea level and you're just racing. It's like

317
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Goku taking off the heavy clothes. It's easy. And then

318
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: as far as West Africa goes, I have no idea

319
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: why there's just like faster ROTI.

320
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 3: As a West African from the Mile High City. I

321
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: do tell you, I will say to you when I

322
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: go to sea level, I am like a god. You're

323
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 3: the term god body. That's how I feel. I'm so

324
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: fast on the beach man.

325
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: I wish that there were I wish there was one

326
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: good Ethiopian sprinter. It's never happened. We're like people would

327
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: always like because I ran like long distance. I would

328
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: do like the mile and two mile and the five

329
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: kN stuff. People would always be like, oh, you're you're

330
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: the runner, you're fast, And I'm like, yeah, over like

331
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: a mile or longer. You get me in a hundred

332
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: or two hundred meters, I'll get dusted by most people.

333
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 3: Right.

334
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: The fast twitch and slow twitch shit does sound like

335
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: some shit. Oh, like, yeah, you're a European scientist, was like,

336
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: the Africans on this side of the continent are faster.

337
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're so musical.

338
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: You know what the problem is is that we've commodified

339
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: athletes so much that we can't disassociate like the language

340
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: of like of science and slavery, do you know what

341
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: I mean? Like it truly is like I don't know

342
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: if the reason you talk like that is because of

343
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: slavery or because that's literally the only way we could

344
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: describe what you're seeing.

345
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I guess it's It's like it also goes

346
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 8: along the same it takes the same route as most

347
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 8: coded racist language, you know what I'm saying where they're like, no,

348
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 8: it's it's physically, it's it's it's science.

349
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: It's not it's just a regional like that's like, that's right,

350
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 3: we'll get into when it talks. Then they're talking about

351
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: smaller heads thus as smaller breath. It's like it lives

352
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: in the same place.

353
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: All yeah, it's not Lebron James' is a genius that

354
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: that should be acknowledged as such. It's Lebron James just

355
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: got that big old body in those fast twitched muscles.

356
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: Nobody ever talk talks about his photographic memory.

357
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: Though, yeah, true fully.

358
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: Has because I will say there's.

359
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 3: A way he's better than Jordan. He's a genius. Michael

360
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 3: Jordan's not a genius.

361
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: All right as well.

362
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: I didn't like the way this took a turn, But

363
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: Beniam you were speaking.

364
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the part that gets left out of these

365
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: kind of like conversations about certain areas of the world

366
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: and why athletes are as good as they are is

367
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: that there's a bunch of Ethiopians who are slow as

368
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: hell and suck it long distance running. There's a bunch

369
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: of West Africans that are not good at the one

370
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: hundred meters dash. But the correlation is what makes people

371
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: go like, oh, okay, you can you can draw some

372
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: but even that it is a little dangerous. I hear it.

373
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 3: It's scary.

374
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, listen, we have to take a break. But

375
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: when we come back, we're gonna find out if Jilliam

376
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: is willing to quit common to become the fastest Ethiopian

377
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: on the planet. This is this is exciting ship that

378
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: we're building here. We'll be back with Morbinian Parsona more.

379
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 6: My mama told Meang we.

380
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 9: Are yes, yeah, all right, we're back here with Morbinion

381
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 9: pasiona more.

382
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: My mama told me. We're still talking about the possibility

383
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 2: that the Arc of the Covenant is not where Indiana

384
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: Jones was hunting, but in fact hidden in a church

385
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: in Ethiopia, surrounded by potentially very old warrior monks.

386
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 4: Yes.

387
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: I love the term warrior monk, by the way, because

388
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a very very thankless job that

389
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: these guys have. I would be very surprised if they're

390
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: allowed to have sex. I bet probably not well.

391
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: Up there, No, not not next to the arc. That's disrespectful. Yeah,

392
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: not even hand stuff thing. It's also because like how

393
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 3: many people are running up on the Ark of the Covenant,

394
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 3: Like That's what I think. The hard thing about that

395
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: job is is they probably never have to how often

396
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 3: do they really have to defend it?

397
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: Oh, so this might get into the research. But I

398
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: was reading up on this and there was a researcher

399
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: European dude, I assume he was British, who like sometime

400
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of the twentieth century, like nineteen fifties,

401
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties. He wanted to see if this arc was

402
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: really in this church. And he came up and he

403
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: had like gunmen with him and he was like, sorry, y'all,

404
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck about your customs. I'm just

405
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: walking in. And he walked past, went inside, and he

406
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: wrote that he looked at it and thought it was

407
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: just a replica, and he was like, sadly, this isn't

408
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: the arc of the Covenant.

409
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 3: But also they just rolled over and let that. They

410
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: just let that happen.

411
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 4: Huh.

412
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: I guess I don't think they have guns. All they

413
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: have are just like they just have like walking staffs.

414
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: Like, man, if we have.

415
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: Guns that, they're like, no, no, no, man, you got it.

416
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: You got that East African karate.

417
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: Use some slow twitch muscles.

418
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: I feel like if all you can do is be

419
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: good at running away, probably not gonna be good at fighting.

420
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: The dude with guns. They I would love to have

421
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 1: seen how that went down, if they like put up

422
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: a fight, or if they were just like I have.

423
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: To assume they were, like, you got it.

424
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: Oh man, it makes me so sad.

425
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: You just make me sit in a cellar all day

426
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 2: preparing for the worst job, which is defending this this

427
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: wooden basket. No, go ahead, look at it.

428
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 3: But the one time you get to prove yourself and

429
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: that the job was worth it in the years of

430
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: commitment that you put in learning hand to hand Ethopian combat,

431
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: and then you were just like, nah, come.

432
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 2: On, man, you got a gun. I thought we was

433
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 2: just doing fistfights down here, but all right, you shooting.

434
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

435
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: See.

436
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: I just feel like you're supposed to die for it.

437
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: That's probably what they were told, right, you got to

438
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: die for this. And I when I read this account,

439
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: it didn't talk about any bloodshed, so I think that, yeah,

440
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't blame them because I would do the same thing.

441
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: But it sounds like they weren't really about it about it,

442
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: you know.

443
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need to get some fast.

444
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: If we had, if we had we had a couple

445
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: of the people from the film that Our Country is

446
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 1: based on defending it. Then you know, maybe they want

447
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: us to a chance.

448
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: But so you already started talking about some pretty important moments.

449
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: But I think, if I'm not mistaken, the last known

450
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 2: non Ethiopian person, and I'm not sure if this is

451
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 2: the person you're talking about or if this is a

452
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: different individual, but the last non Ethiopian person who is

453
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: said to have saw the ARC is this dude, Edward U.

454
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: Linndorf is his name, who basically found himself stationed in

455
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 2: Ethiopia while fighting for Britain in World War Two and

456
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: then becomes friends with Haley Selassie and then it's basically

457
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: like escored it in like they become so cool that

458
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, fuck it, I'll show you the ARC.

459
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: And he says he sees it and believes it and

460
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: writes stories about it years later.

461
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm talking about. It's the same guy.

462
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: Whoa so this is an example of the way that

463
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: history can be fucking rewritten like a motherfucker.

464
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: Man the White side of history. Dull.

465
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the same guy. Yeah, because I'm looking. I'm

466
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: looking at the article right now to make sure. And

467
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: he says that Uhllendorff was concerned after he gave an

468
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: interview that he hoped that Ethiopian authorities did not become

469
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: aware of the Los Angeles Times article, and then he

470
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: never spoke to reporter again about what he saw. But

471
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: I guess he said, this is this is how, this

472
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: is what it says entirely. He went to the church

473
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 1: of mary Zion with a couple of soldiers. He might

474
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: spoke to the monks in the church and I heark

475
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: asking to see the arc. His request refused. They said,

476
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: you can't go in. This is holy. He said, well,

477
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I want to go in, And he

478
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: did go in with his soldiers behind him. They couldn't

479
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: do anything to stop him.

480
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: WHOA, Yeah, that things that I've read have made him

481
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: seem like much more of a sweet, neutral figure who

482
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: like kissed a king's hand enough times that he like

483
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: carried him in there is that's wild.

484
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't know which one is true, but this version says,

485
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: do I think.

486
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: I know which one?

487
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: I think that he marched in with his guns, because that's.

488
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: The one that's true to dog I think. I don't

489
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: think there's any doubt in my mind that he did

490
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: a meaner thing than what he's been telling people.

491
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: This is from I'm reading from Live science dot com.

492
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm just gonna trust that they're reputable.

493
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: Whoa.

494
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: And it says that what he saw you can find

495
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: in any Ethiopian church, which is a model of the

496
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: Ark of the Covenant. He says it didn't differ in

497
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: anyway from many arts you see in any other churches

498
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: in Ethiopia. It wasn't ancient, and it certainly wasn't the

499
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: original arc.

500
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: Now, how many how many arcs? How many arts are then?

501
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: So why is it so many arts?

502
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: So in all these other churches in Ethiopia they have

503
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: replica arcs kind of. I don't really know why.

504
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 2: I think it's it's in reference to the fact that

505
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: it is widely understood in Ethiopia that they are housing

506
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: the Arc of the Covenant. And so if you are

507
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: a you know, following the same Christian Judaic principles, then

508
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna be like, yeah, this is a symbol of

509
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: our thing. And only the priest is allowed anywhere inside

510
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: the circle where the arc is kept during like you know,

511
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 2: any sermon, like in any church, only the priests can

512
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 2: go in that area.

513
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I remember when I was eleven. That's the

514
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: only time I've been back there. There was this lake

515
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: that we went out called like Lake Tana, and there

516
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: were like little islands all on this lake and there

517
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: were churches on them, and I remember going like we weren't.

518
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: There was like something where like only men were allowed

519
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: in the church or something. But I even think like there,

520
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: we weren't allowed to like look at the arc. We

521
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: were just even the replica I don't we're allowed to look.

522
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: At They're trying to play theirs off.

523
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: They're like, uh yeah, and it's like I can't remember

524
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: if we were allowed in or out, but I remember

525
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: there is like being told that at the time, like

526
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: we have these replica ones, and what was it about

527
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, it's just widely. It's just it's another

528
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: point of like, yo, we're out here killing it never

529
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: been colonized. We got the arc points on the board

530
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: that yeah.

531
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: So so just just to walk us back a little bit,

532
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: because I feel like we jumped immediately into uh, some

533
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: parts of this conversation that may not be totally clear

534
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: to our audience. The Arc of the Covenant is a

535
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: sort of like large wooden structure that has a little

536
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: like house over it, where in theory it's like a

537
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: chest basically with like a bunch of fancy things around

538
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: it that is said to be the holster for the

539
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: ten Commandments as commanded by Moses from God. And then

540
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: the Israelites carried that that exact thing through the desert

541
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: for forty years while they were trying to find their home.

542
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: Yep, and it's got those The finding feature is like

543
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: those wings.

544
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the two I think there are angels. What are

545
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: those things on the top?

546
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: I think it's I.

547
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: Think they're wings. Yeah.

548
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: I always like they're are facing towards each other.

549
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: And it's like covered in gold shiny and then it's

550
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: got these like sticks for carrying, so that you could

551
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: have like almost like pall bearers, you know, like four

552
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: people kind of like supporting it from all sides.

553
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: Because yeah, you don't put your Ark of the Covenant

554
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: on the ground.

555
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 3: I get no.

556
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: Nah, yeah, you gotta.

557
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: Don't put your purse on the ground. Don't put your

558
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 2: ark of the Covenant on the ground. Those are just

559
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: two facts.

560
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: It is either way somebody's slipping something in it or

561
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 3: taking something.

562
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, if somebody roofi's the arc of the Covenant.

563
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: That's how they got.

564
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: Right, that's what they did. They pulled the ocean's eleven

565
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: switch Peroo type ship to get it there.

566
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: That's a movie I want to see, Hollywood.

567
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just eleven Ethiopian in suits being like

568
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna steal the.

569
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds amazing.

570
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: It feels like it wouldn't take.

571
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.

572
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: All you have to do is show up with a

573
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: gun and it's.

574
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: That makes me feel like I could go get the Covenant.

575
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's this valuable and you think about

576
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: all the other art thefts that have happened where people

577
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: like steal a monet or whatever, you would think that

578
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: someone would have tried to steal it.

579
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: Well, well, that's that's one of the things that I

580
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: wanted to bring up, right, is that like, look, you

581
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: went into detail about how crazy they have to feel,

582
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: or at least feel like they're protecting this this item,

583
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: and it's insane in part because museums are filled all

584
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: across the world with items that were stolen from other countries.

585
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: So they're sitting there and they don't feel the same instinct.

586
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: Then I guess in some forms they do. They make

587
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: it very hard obviously to steal a debatable right exactly.

588
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: Things get stolen from museums all the time. And then

589
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: even with that, they don't feel no shame about it.

590
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 2: They're not like, yo, we gotta hide it away so

591
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: nobody can even lay eyes on it. They're like, not

592
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: look at it, but I'll fuck you up if you

593
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: touch it. Are stolen shit.

594
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: And I feel like with the arc their thing is based,

595
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: it's like it's not because of shame, it's because it's like, oh,

596
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: it's so holy that your eyes aren't worthy to look

597
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: at it. And they from from what I've read, it

598
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: seems like they feel like they are the rightful keepers

599
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: of it, like because it's it's a Christian thing more

600
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: so than a it belongs to this country or that country,

601
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: is how they think of it.

602
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I if I'm remembering correctly, I think Ethiopians have

603
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: a something in that they they stayed loyal on some

604
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: like Christian shit and sort of like we're devoted to

605
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: Christianity when every other sort of like sect of Christianity

606
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: at one point in the Bible bailed like they were like, yo,

607
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: we do we can't even rock with this shit no more.

608
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: And Ethiopians were like, nah, we're still with it. We

609
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: like this is where we're at. And so then they're like, no,

610
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: we are the original Christians. We are sort of like

611
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 2: the source of everything that makes this thing valuable.

612
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: I wonder if the Black Israelites think that they have

613
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: claim over the Ark of the Covenant, you know, hmmm,

614
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: because if they're like, we're the original Israelites, maybe they're

615
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: like we should have.

616
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: It right because they're like, yeah, maybe they have it.

617
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 4: Maybe they have it.

618
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 2: Has anybody actually listening to what they're yelling, they might

619
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: need ye, what's what's the math?

620
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: I heard the best thing. This is like maybe twenty

621
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: fourteen or so, and I was like around Slawson and

622
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: there were some dudes doing the Black Israelite thing with

623
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: the megaphone, and there was like a main dude and

624
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: then he had a couple like helpers and they were

625
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: reading from the Bible and uh, like, I was reading

626
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: back this thing and he said like and from the

627
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: water the Leviathan came and the main guy was like,

628
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: read that back, read that back, and then the guy

629
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: said it again and from the waters the Leviathan came.

630
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 3: And the dude was like lockness monster is real. But

631
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 3: also I understand where he's coming.

632
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: From, and that's that was you know, that was where

633
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: my brain went where I was like, is that is

634
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: that insane? Or is that just a hard ass bar

635
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 2: that like you can pull more information from when you

636
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 2: need it, you know what I mean, Like.

637
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: He's yeah, all of it's just English class That's how

638
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: I feel. You find a little proof and then you

639
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: can extrapolate and be like this is what this means.

640
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: Right right right? You just you can half read a

641
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: book and get a whole lot of messages from whatever

642
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 2: that is.

643
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: Who we're talent. You think I finished to people's history

644
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: of the United States, I'm like, no, no, I haven't.

645
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: So I looked up some of the examples of like

646
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: things sort of like the most famous things I guess

647
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 2: that were stolen by other other countries that are kept

648
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: in other museums that you know, truly, everybody feels real

649
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: comfortable flexing. The Rosetta stone is an example that the

650
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: British literally stole from Egypt and now have on display

651
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 2: without a care in the world, like truly, and it's

652
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: written in Egyptian hieroglyphics. It's not like it's, you know,

653
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: a shared language. These motherfuckers just have their shit in

654
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: their museum.

655
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: Egypt's gotta go get it back, though, that's on them

656
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 3: at this point.

657
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: They got to pull a kill monger Like I didn't

658
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: even know the Rosetta stone was a real thing. I

659
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: thought that was.

660
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: Oh how in Spanish.

661
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like, this is a cool name for

662
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: a company. If anything, Egypt should be getting some money

663
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: off them too.

664
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 2: I think has something to do with the uh and yes,

665
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 2: I agree with you there capitalism boom.

666
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

667
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: I mean if we're going to start kicking back to

668
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: Egypt everything that they invented, I mean that's a long day.

669
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of dudes I know with tattoos

670
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 2: that are gonna have to kick some bread.

671
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, every every unk tattoos got to give them ten bucks.

672
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: For fucking Yukio. That entire show that I saw in Egypt.

673
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 3: I feel like KADU's gotta kick.

674
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: Some money up, ergo baduos a lot of money to

675
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 2: Egypt right now?

676
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: What are what are what are these other things?

677
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 2: Additionally, there's something called the man Eaters of Savo, which

678
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: are displayed in the Chicago Field Museum. Great museum and

679
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 2: are taxidermy bodies of two lions, which at their peak

680
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: killed somewhere between twenty eight to hundred and forty people

681
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 2: in Kenya. So these lions are killing the fuck out

682
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: of Kenyan people. Well, no, it's specifically Indian workers in Kenya.

683
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: At the time, I don't know, geopolitics was wild. Anyway,

684
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 2: They're killing all these people and then one dude shoots

685
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: them and has them taxi dermied and then ends up

686
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 2: sending them to the United States for five thousand dollars,

687
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 2: And the Kenyan government was like, bro, what the fuck?

688
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: This is the most famous two lions that have ever

689
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: existed in history. Don't sell our shit, and now they

690
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: just don't get them back.

691
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if there's anything that, like, you know,

692
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: like after World War two, how they were like, okay,

693
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: we have like the World Court, and we can hold

694
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: people responsible for shit, Like can they do the same

695
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: thing for these artifacts that were stolen from places in

696
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: ancient times? They could be like, well, you're under our

697
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: jurisdiction because we're the world, you know.

698
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so, because everybody just points to

699
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 2: the transactions that justify it. So again, this dude technically

700
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: did say we gave him five They gave him five

701
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: thousand dollars for the fucking lions, Like, why what are

702
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 2: you talking about?

703
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: He made a bad deal, But yes, I guess it's

704
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: a deal. Though, you know what could they say?

705
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 4: Now?

706
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: I think that's the justification. Now you can turn back

707
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 2: and look at like, yo, there are cultural justifications, human

708
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: justifications inside of this. But I think any court is

709
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 2: going to lose out when they try to do that.

710
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: Instead of being like, well, there's a receipt right here,

711
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 2: it says five g's.

712
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's the same as like Israel Palestine,

713
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: because it's like whatever land stolen, place is taken, whatever.

714
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: But you can't really who's going to listen?

715
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 3: So how far can we go back?

716
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

717
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: Exactly how far? How far back can we really source it?

718
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: We can quote this episode Biniam says Israel whatever.

719
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: But in terms of listening to an outside foreign power

720
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: or like a World Bank or whoever the fuck is

721
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: gonna be the jurisdiction. No one is gonna If you're

722
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: the one in the situation, you're always gonna have your

723
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 1: own self interest and you're not gonna be like, well,

724
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: you're right, you're gonna be like, nah, this is my lion, now,

725
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: I got it.

726
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: You know this lion, he loves the bears. He loves

727
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: Italian beef.

728
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: So the last example I'll give you beef and we'll

729
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 2: take a break after this. The last example I'll give

730
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: you is specific actually to Ethiopia. Ethiopia fell victim in

731
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: the Battle of Magdala. Am I saying that right? Magdala

732
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 2: in eighteen sixty eight. It was a basically when the

733
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: British came in and took pieces of Ethiopia from y'all,

734
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 2: or at least y'all gave off like a little taste

735
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 2: of Ethiopia to make to keep them from fully colonizing

736
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: the entire country. So you've never been colonized, but you

737
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 2: have had to give up a few parts to get

738
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 2: get good with people.

739
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: See, I didn't even know about this battle. I've never

740
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: heard that name. Magdala.

741
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, m A g d A l A. And so

742
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: in this this fight, the British end up taking so

743
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 2: much shit, literally so much shit, including something called the

744
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: Crown of Aboud, a gold crown that was once that

745
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 2: once sat a top like the head of the Ethiopian Church.

746
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: But they took so much shit that they needed fifteen

747
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 2: elephants and one hundred mules to transfer all the stuff

748
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 2: to a nearby town for auction.

749
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: That's crazy. And now it's like is it displayed in

750
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: England just proudly?

751
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 3: Oh.

752
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: My favorite part of this is this is gonna be

753
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: the most devastating part. My favorite part is when the

754
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: Ethiopian when the Ethiopian government has like come back to

755
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: them and been like a bro, we're in modern times,

756
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: now give us back our ship. The response was, oh,

757
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 2: for sure, you can have some of it, but we

758
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: will return it to you only as a loan. And

759
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 2: you have to then take your name off of any

760
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: any suggestions that this was yours to own in the

761
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 2: first place.

762
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: Wow, that's so fucked up.

763
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: It's wild dug And they can't and it's not.

764
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 3: I don't like this section, and they can't.

765
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 1: I guess they can't do it. They just gotta. It's

766
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: just like the dudes with the guns walking up to

767
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: the church. They're just like, Okay, yeah, what are you

768
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna do?

769
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 3: I don't like how happy.

770
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 2: It's all so silly. They were like a bro, I'll

771
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 2: lend you your stuff back to you after I stole it.

772
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: Come on, that's just that's just good clean fun.

773
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 3: This typical bully. But Ethiopia is getting bullied out of

774
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 3: their items. I don't like that.

775
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take one more break. We'll be

776
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: back with more Beni and Presuma, my mama told.

00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,479
Speaker 2: you goddamn more about the arc of the Covenant being

782
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 2: in Ethiopia.

783
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: I like waited for a second. I was like, Okay,

784
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: there's no sound he here. Let me just jump in

785
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: at that.

786
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: There's always a sound key.

787
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is in Ethiopia. And I think

788
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: this is like in a lot of like newer democracies,

789
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as like is this candidate pro choice?

790
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: What's this candidate's views on the environment. It's just like

791
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: it's just like, are you the same ethnicity as me,

792
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: then you're gonna be looking out for this ethnic group.

793
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: That's all it is.

794
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: That's how I vote.

795
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 2: I voted like that once before. It didn't change much

796
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: for me, but I felt good about what I did.

797
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:27,959
Speaker 4: Which is.

798
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: Which is so interesting because like, are things that go

799
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: into when we vote so different?

800
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 3: That's what they say. It's the same shit.

801
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's anybody that's like really focused

802
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 2: on the issues as.

803
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 3: Much as there's like twenty people in LA who pretend

804
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 3: on Instagram everybody else they're like that one looks like me.

805
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

806
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: I like the way that one. I like the way

807
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: his jim is cut.

808
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 3: I like it that he's not one of those.

809
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: I will say, yeah, if there was someone who looked

810
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: like me, I would vote for them as I have

811
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: in the past.

812
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: Immediately you just run for anything. Yeah, you gotta let

813
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 3: it slide.

814
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: If there was somebody that was from your exact neighborhood, city,

815
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: all the ship, but you don't agree with them on

816
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: all the issues, would you be like yeah, but they're

817
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: like they're of my area and they look like me.

818
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: How what would be more important to you?

819
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 3: How far against my issues are they? Is it?

820
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: Like?

821
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 3: Is it like minimal stuff? Because I got some deal breakers.

822
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean, let's say they are fiscally conservative but socially whatever,

823
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: like liberal, Yeah.

824
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 3: I can fuck with that. How fiscally conservative are we

825
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 3: cutting are we cutting out social services or are we

826
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 3: just like yeah, yeah.

827
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're like pull them up by your own bootstraps.

828
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 3: I can't get down. Look all I'm saying, but if

829
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 3: they lived next door to me, they wouldn't be like

830
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 3: that because I was broke to like three years ago.

831
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: You would you would have you would have rubbed off

832
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: on them.

833
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 3: They would have been broke, like, they wouldn't even they

834
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 3: had strong senses of community. That's what I'll say.

835
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 2: Okay, all I'm saying is I need to know the

836
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 2: exact alternative to this person, meaning like whoever they're running against,

837
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: because if they're still better than the other person, I'm

838
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 2: going black, baby, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,

839
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 2: I'm going black every time.

840
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 3: Like, do you know the level of white excellence you

841
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 3: have to have for me to vote you over? Just

842
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 3: like a regular black person to be completely just a

843
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 3: bus driver with a briefcase. Yeah yeah, got a job,

844
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 3: you might manage the buses. This guy's really.

845
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: What was the name of that Godfather's pizza Republican black dude?

846
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: Uh fuck? What was his name? It starts with the

847
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 2: H Herman Kane.

848
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: Herman Kane.

849
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 4: Now it seems like.

850
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: There are people like this every couple of years who

851
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: just get thrust at the top of the Republican Party

852
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: and there's not a chance that I look at them

853
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: and go like, but they're black, because they're just like so.

854
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 3: Well, no, you know, but that's different.

855
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 2: That's yeah, you know, you know, talking about her, I

856
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: don't know, you're talking about regular motherfuckers. So you would

857
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 2: kick it with not fucking Herman Kane.

858
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 1: But regular motherfuckers you would kick it with. Are never

859
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: like running for president? Like there you I mean, that's

860
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: the problem.

861
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, issue, you know, what we need is a black Trump.

862
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 4: I want to know.

863
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 3: I want to I want to live up there and

864
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 3: say like, yeah, he's saying it, I'm thinking it. That's

865
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: what I know.

866
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 4: You know, Oh, now we're off. Now we're off. I

867
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 4: thought we were.

868
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 3: I thought we were banking on the community.

869
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:14,479
Speaker 4: But I know what you're saying.

870
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: It's like someone who's black with the Trump attitude, but

871
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: they don't know positions.

872
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm being completely facetious. I think that your

873
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 3: political candidate should be better than you. And if you

874
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 3: don't think that, you're kind of stupid.

875
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I do think that we should be clear.

876
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 3: I wan him to be like me. I hate Robin

877
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 3: three times this week, like I want him, you gotta

878
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 3: be better.

879
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: But can he be better than you but also be

880
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: a populist at the same time. Yeah, yeah, I think

881
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: that exists.

882
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I listen. I grew up in a in a

883
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 2: very Marxist household.

884
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 4: I don't agree.

885
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 2: There's no yeah, there's no version of this that I'm

886
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,479
Speaker 2: going to be like, hell yeah, if we just vote

887
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: on the right way, we're gonna fix it. It's like, yeah,

888
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 2: I feel I you know, one way or the other,

889
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 2: and I do vote. I ain't.

890
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 5: I like that.

891
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 3: I like that you won't even let us play make

892
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 3: believe for a second thing like you had to. You

893
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: had to, like listen, brother, time Marxist.

894
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 2: Look, man, I vote, but I don't believe in that ship.

895
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 2: I'd just be doing my civic duty.

896
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: You know, man, what was that like growing up in

897
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: a Marxist household.

898
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 2: Well, you drink a lot of Mountain dew, but my

899
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 2: dad drank dia coax, so I had I had to

900
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 2: show him that I was younger and more gnarly than

901
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: he was.

902
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 4: I don't know it was.

903
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 3: You know, you had like Christmas and ship right.

904
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were we weren't sad. We were just you know,

905
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 2: politically there was a different political slant.

906
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 3: Were you allowed to watch television?

907
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 2: Yep, we had it. We had multiple TV's which we

908
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 2: could turn on and off whenever we wanted.

909
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: Would would your parents how would they think of, like

910
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: voting in a national election where they like.

911
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's not both my parents. There's specifically my dad

912
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 2: my mom broken homes, but specifically my dad is that

913
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 2: that's his political lean.

914
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 3: Okay, what was your mom?

915
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 2: Mm? So trying to make it.

916
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: Okay, but we ran ahead above water making no way.

917
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 4: When she can mom river, I mean.

918
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: So, here's something that's kind of in common is that

919
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: when my parents were in Ethiopia and they were students,

920
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: this dude, Hyla Selassie who was the emperor, like they

921
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: wanted him to be overthrown because they wanted feudalism to

922
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: be gone. They thought it was unfair, they thought the

923
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: rich were just getting richer. And they were part of

924
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: these like student groups that would meet up at night

925
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: and you had to be all secret, and they wanted

926
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: to overthrow this dude, and they wanted Communism to come

927
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: to Ethiopia because they were like on paper, this.

928
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 3: Is great, you know, And then they came to America

929
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 3: and you became a comedian.

930
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 7: Is it that.

931
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: Out?

932
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 2: All them apologize for what you.

933
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 4: Got.

934
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: The Marxist dad, you feel the same struggle. But then

935
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: the dude got overthrown by the military, and the military

936
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,479
Speaker 1: was worse than this dude, and they were like, okay,

937
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: now let's overthrow this military. And they were part of

938
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: these like they were like medics for gorilla fighters, trying

939
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,280

940
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: their political ship and then came to America to have

941
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: a better life. And we're like, okay, American system, now,

944
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,160

00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 2: your kids' choices, even you know what I mean, even

946
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 2: if you're not doing it to hurt your parents, you're

947
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: truly just pursuing the things that make you feel whole

948
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 2: and precious in the world. And like they didn't come

949
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 2: here for that, you know what I mean, that's not

950
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 2: what they that's not the reason they're here. And it's

951
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 2: like we are talking the same cha.

952
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 3: But also they came here in one way or another

953
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 3: for you to cast some checks exactly, so you know

954
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 3: what I mean. Like, ultimately, I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor,

Speaker 1: more choices, right exactly, more the freedom to do what

958
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 1: you want. The only reason they wanted you to be

959
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: a doctor was because that was a straight path to

960
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: financial freedom, better life. But if you could do it

961
