Speaker 1: you guys with the intro. So my A k A
Speaker 1: Is a co worker last week told me you're exactly
Speaker 1: like Shug Knight except for nice. And I guess what
Speaker 1: they really mean, because I've been told this many times before,
Speaker 1: is you're a big black guy with shaved head. So

Speaker 1: so nice good night. It was right there, It was
Speaker 1: right and what I'm stealing that? Right? You gotta He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm like Shug and you hold their ass over the
Speaker 1: edge of the bill your royalties right now? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: You think that you're fucking stereotypical bullshit? Remind be another time.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'll tell you a story about signing
Speaker 1: up for that man's you know, that man's big hit
Speaker 1: song at karaoke there in the valley and he walked
Speaker 1: out because he was upset. Oh wait what he was
Speaker 1: at the karaoke bar Ireland two. It's a it's a
Speaker 1: spot that's over there. I think, what is it like
Speaker 1: Burbank or not Burbank, like Van Eyes or whatnot. I
Speaker 1: was there, you know, Rob Van was it? Rob vand
Speaker 1: weikel Vanilla Ice was there. He was in the back.
Speaker 1: He's having a good time, folks are showing love. So
Speaker 1: I figured, hey, look we're here, we're gonna go ahead
Speaker 1: and do this. I signed up for it. The song
Speaker 1: came on, he gets up and walks out because, like
Speaker 1: I guess, he was offended by it, but whatever, because
Speaker 1: you did I maybe, Yeah, it's like broke. I thought
Speaker 1: it was respect that song. Have you ever made Loving
Speaker 1: an Inner Tube? But Vanilla's off of to the extreme
Speaker 1: is that a song? That's not the title, but he
Speaker 1: talks about making loving an inner tube, which is like
Speaker 1: the sort of thing that a middle school student which
Speaker 1: I was at the time, or I think elementary actually
Speaker 1: would like think was cool. Like yeah, anyway, had sex
Speaker 1: would be like that. That sounds really like uncomfortable and difficult.
Speaker 1: You got to come from tuban culture, not just Retuban,
Speaker 1: but inner Tuban and embrace your inner Tuban while you're
Speaker 1: inner Tuban, as Vanillie would. Yeah, all right, Barry, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better. Oh first,
Speaker 1: I do want to ask to what get hit us
Speaker 1: with a detail from the back stories of what one
Speaker 1: of the celebrities you've covered on the show, anything, anything
Speaker 1: that surprised you honestly during the Michael Jordan's episode, and
Speaker 1: and you know, for anybody that you know that does
Speaker 1: take a chance and listen to it. I'll admit the
Speaker 1: first couple of episodes we were still finding our footage,
Speaker 1: but we you know, I feel like we've done that.
Speaker 1: But during the Jordan episode, we had a really good,
Speaker 1: good conversation surrounding kind of the coverage, you know, surrounding
Speaker 1: you know that when he retired, with his father's death
Speaker 1: and all of that. Even though yeah, I lived through
Speaker 1: it and I was, you know, I was old enough
Speaker 1: to be aware, it was interesting to me. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like, you know, like, I'm sure if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen The Malice in the Palace, the Mauison the Palace
Speaker 1: Documunery on Netflix, and yet I'm watching it this weekend,
Speaker 1: strongly recommended. You know it. I remember all of the things.
Speaker 1: I was there when those things were said. But sometimes
Speaker 1: when you hear it, you know, from a thousand miles out,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh wow, okay. So but in terms of like,
Speaker 1: you know, like crazy stuff about celebrities, none of it's
Speaker 1: really going to shock you. You know, we've always kind
Speaker 1: of known that, you know, right right what you're about. Recently,
Speaker 1: why did why did I see this thing trending on?
Speaker 1: Like NBA? Read it again? When they were talking when
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley was bringing up that anecdote about how like
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan has no empathy he for like the unhoused.
Speaker 1: When he's like, don't give him that money. If he
Speaker 1: could say can I get some change, he could say
Speaker 1: welcome to McDonald's. Cannot take your order, and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Michael, I wouldn't expect anything fucking less.
Speaker 1: But Jesus, you know, I don't know if he really
Speaker 1: said it, but like you, like you just said, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me. It would not shock me. But he's
Speaker 1: come around. That's he hasn't. That's when I'm like, now
Speaker 1: since the pandemic, he's been so philanthropic. Like I'm really
Speaker 1: curious to even hear from him, like if he sees
Speaker 1: himself as having an evolution, because I'm you know, he knew,
Speaker 1: he knows he was a fierce guy, and we saw
Speaker 1: that he knows he has some level of stuff awaring this,
Speaker 1: But I'm curious if he's like, yeah, you know, I've
Speaker 1: I've learned to love more. He had. Honestly, he had
Speaker 1: to do it because you know, while obviously he was
Speaker 1: doing things throughout his career, we certainly didn't hear about it,
Speaker 1: and he definitely was never going to you know, take
Speaker 1: a stance, you know, not a public stance, you know,
Speaker 1: especially that would be controversial. Over the last five years
Speaker 1: or so, I feel like he's definitely moved towards him
Speaker 1: at least at least showing that he's he's about the
Speaker 1: right things. Yeah. I wonder if the last dance, you know,
Speaker 1: because that was basically controlled by him, or at least he,
Speaker 1: you know, was the one who was like, Okay, you can,
Speaker 1: we can make this now. I wonder if just you know,
Speaker 1: seeing it through new eyes or see you know, having
Speaker 1: other people see him and like that that whole you
Speaker 1: know experience was was kind of gave gave him a
Speaker 1: new perspective the detail I thought you were gonna say
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley talked about when he was like I hate
Speaker 1: that fat fuck but like he's never gonna put up,
Speaker 1: He's never gonna outplay me in the this final series again,
Speaker 1: which that was wild, Like that was like the next
Speaker 1: level of pathology that like I I had not I
Speaker 1: knew he was a competitor, like to a pathological degree.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was like that, right. We we
Speaker 1: did an episode where we touched on Chuck a little bit.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that arrist that he had, you know,
Speaker 1: stemming from about probably ten years ago, you know, in Phoenix,
Speaker 1: just outside of Phoenix. Vaguely, Chuck did, uh no, Charles Barkley,
Speaker 1: We're we're close enough to where it's either round. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I do remember that where he was like driving fast
Speaker 1: and said he had to go somewhere to get a
Speaker 1: blow job. I think, yeah, my man had like donuts
Speaker 1: and the seat next to him and said, heyah, I
Speaker 1: was just you know, like just going out to get
Speaker 1: a blow job. But anyhow, there, yeah, that's Chuck, it's
Speaker 1: going out for one. And you, of course did cover
Speaker 1: Shya's early rap career and his partnership with Miles Gray,
Speaker 1: right well this time. Mean, look, that was a long time.
Speaker 1: We have nothing to do with his bullshit now, so
Speaker 1: it's not trying to get me caught up with Miles.
Speaker 1: I kind of need to know. Honestly, we're both valley boys.
Speaker 1: You're a little bit younger than me. You would have
Speaker 1: come up around that time. What is the connection there
Speaker 1: with Shy And no offense if I offended you on
Speaker 1: the episode, because I did, Oh no, not like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, this high school, I was friends with
Speaker 1: a lot of kids who are on the Disney Channel,
Speaker 1: specifically this guy, Mike Galiota Rest in peace. He used
Speaker 1: to be on this show called The Jersey and we
Speaker 1: were we were really tired. We were super tight. And
Speaker 1: through Mike I met all these other people who are
Speaker 1: on the Disney Channel and like we were all like
Speaker 1: weed smokers, and they were like white kids who wanted
Speaker 1: to be black. So life in the Valley. Start a
Speaker 1: rap group. Start a rap group. And it was like
Speaker 1: us in a bunch of other kids, like younger siblings
Speaker 1: of people that were on the Disney Channel, so just
Speaker 1: other like local kids. And it was called the Element Crew.
Speaker 1: And I think that ship's on soundclouds somewhere, but I
Speaker 1: will be going to look it up absolutely, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll maybe I'll drop a link somewhere sometimes. All right, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of things we're talking about today. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the selective empathy of America, how the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: is making that official with some of their recent decisions.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the legal drama behind McDonald's ice cream machines.
Speaker 1: While those are always out of order. Well, talk about
Speaker 1: j R. Smith journey. It has been very fun to
Speaker 1: follow on Twitter, and a new Fortnite feature, all of
Speaker 1: that plenty more. The first Jabari. We like to ask
Speaker 1: our guests, what is something from your search history? Well,
Speaker 1: you kind of already left the coutt of the bag.
Speaker 1: I was going to shamelessly, you know, note this political scandals,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's for the show. Like you mentioned,
Speaker 1: you know, never meet your heroes, you know, as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: we've done, you know, Michael Jordan, shil Abuff, Mark Wahlberg,
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of other people for season one.
Speaker 1: But right now I'm knee deep and you know, basically
Speaker 1: Anthony Weiner type stuff at the point. Oh wow, Anthony
Speaker 1: Weiner type stuff. So just like a lot of Dick
Speaker 1: pics are actually yeah, you know, honestly, no pun intended
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit of that, a little
Speaker 1: bit uh and and some lesser known stuff you know
Speaker 1: from you know, from folks. Yeah, I remember that he
Speaker 1: was he I think he was like roommates with Jon
Speaker 1: Stewart or something. So I'm like, he's a ween or
Speaker 1: fucking rules like that was That was where I got
Speaker 1: all my politics from at that stage. That's why I
Speaker 1: up with al Gore because Tommy Lee Jones roommate and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well that and like at all because you know, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I was just obsessed with celebrity birthdays,
Speaker 1: like who had the same birthday as me? So when
Speaker 1: it was Tommy Lee Jones, I was like, oh ship,
Speaker 1: I like men in Black just this tracks, this tracks.
Speaker 1: And then I was like they were they were roommates.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, al Gore, alright, homie, Yeah, thanks
Speaker 1: for inventing the internet. Good look, it's nice to see
Speaker 1: that we all do that as kids. By the way,
Speaker 1: not to take it off, but you know, you know,
Speaker 1: just going with it. Morgan Freeman and Marilyn Monroe were
Speaker 1: You're the ones that I was fighting you happy about
Speaker 1: June one? What's up? That's really good that I like,
Speaker 1: that's a real spectrum. I like that I may have
Speaker 1: even allied to people and says like, yeah, Morgan Freeman,
Speaker 1: I'm related to him, as though there's some connection when
Speaker 1: you have the same birthday as someone. I mean, I
Speaker 1: tell people I am Prince Harry because the exact same birthday.
Speaker 1: So there's not what's the problem here, I can believe it.
Speaker 1: I might as well be the same person. What about you, Jack,
Speaker 1: who you got? I don't so. I I was like, huh,
Speaker 1: I must not have been into that when I was young.
Speaker 1: But I think it turns out I just don't have
Speaker 1: anyone good um to claim. I've got to get ready,
Speaker 1: so my Rudolph is by far far away. I've also
Speaker 1: got billing ball um. All right. So that's cool comedy comedy.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. That was before my time, or
Speaker 1: I was before like he yeah, yeah this is he
Speaker 1: came out and I was I wasn't into but the dude,
Speaker 1: the dude Jamie Lanister from It's just like there's nobody
Speaker 1: that I would have been into when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: you know, damn pretty yeah, when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: These are the ones that I remember Peggy Fleming Jenkins,
Speaker 1: US Olympic figure skater. Uh yeah. And there's also like
Speaker 1: another Olympic skater, Christopher Dean. Uh. Those are the ones
Speaker 1: that Jerry Van Dyke, who I wasn't didn't really know
Speaker 1: much about. So you know, you guys that that's your
Speaker 1: celebrity birthday privilege of having great celebrity birthdays and it
Speaker 1: must be you know who else? I I got Tom
Speaker 1: Hardy Polo what Jenna Marble's from YouTube if you remember
Speaker 1: that fucking ship. I don't think I do. Yo, there's
Speaker 1: oh my god, no way. There's someone on Instagram called
Speaker 1: Young Blazeing and we have the same birthday. What okay?
Speaker 1: Young okay? So you like this is the last scene
Speaker 1: of fight Club where we realize that you and young
Speaker 1: Blazean are the same person witho year old Instagram, You've
Speaker 1: created a separate personality where be shorts to damn god.
Speaker 1: You know what. It makes sense though, too, because it's
Speaker 1: mating season, so so many people like you just there
Speaker 1: that's condensed right here in August September and shipped too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my parents were gross having set around fucking October, freaky Halloween,
Speaker 1: just nasty, rotten baby halloweeneen baby. Come on, Lisa vander Pump,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, get off me, get off. This
Speaker 1: is Agatha Christie, Come on, backup, back up. What is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrag overrated? We're going there first, alright.
Speaker 1: I actually took notice this time alternative cauliflower products and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it with muches for the record. I'm
Speaker 1: not one of those that, you know, I don't shame
Speaker 1: people for what they enjoy. You know, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: yuck your yung if that's your thing. In fact, I'm
Speaker 1: generally here to give something to shot, especially if you
Speaker 1: tell me that it's it has like some healthy property,
Speaker 1: you know, health benefit. I'm at that age in general
Speaker 1: health status where I'm like, oh, it's good for me,
Speaker 1: and it tastes good. Okay, cool, I'll eat it. I'm
Speaker 1: not here for the you know, for the you know,
Speaker 1: for the cauliflower. I've never had any product that actively
Speaker 1: actively tasted good cauliflower products. Have you had cauliflower that
Speaker 1: you enjoy it? Wait? What? I won't lie, don't love
Speaker 1: I don't love jim regular coliflower either. But I'm you know,
Speaker 1: but I'm you know, I am at that age where
Speaker 1: it's like you gotta eat the vegetables. You gotta do
Speaker 1: these things, you have to you know, get you have
Speaker 1: to make these adjustments, and I just different. Wait, so
Speaker 1: what alternatives are you talking when like coli, flower crusts,
Speaker 1: colored flower anything like, yeah, yeah, I had a something
Speaker 1: that someone called buffalo, like you know, a buffalo nugget.
Speaker 1: It was halfway decent because it was sauced like crazy
Speaker 1: and you know, sugar but deep. Yeah, I just can't
Speaker 1: get with so and you know, and I say this
Speaker 1: as someone I'll admit I got into Trader Joe's late.
Speaker 1: In fact, I got into Trader Joe's late specifically because
Speaker 1: I thought it was Whole Foods because most of the
Speaker 1: people that I saw going into out of there pretty
Speaker 1: much looked like, you know, Whole Foods folks, just with
Speaker 1: dirty or sandals. And then I and then I realized, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I've been missing out, man. Trader Joe's is a haven
Speaker 1: for you know, you know, for for people of my
Speaker 1: you know, desires, but just not with the college color
Speaker 1: and cheap too. You know what, you should have known
Speaker 1: those dirty or sandals men, because you saw the class
Speaker 1: struggle right there. Yeah, growing up in the valley, you
Speaker 1: don't know, you just don't know the dirty sands and
Speaker 1: that might everybody they might be getting getting into the rings.
Speaker 1: You know, stopped going, and then I just recently started going.
Speaker 1: Most at stopped going because in the pandemic it was
Speaker 1: always a fucking line out there, everybody like standing outside
Speaker 1: the building. Yet that was yeah, like in the rain
Speaker 1: and ship. I'm like, I just want popsicles, like kind
Speaker 1: of I'll going to Ralph's. I'm sorry, but we're back
Speaker 1: now onion garlic pistachios from oh My almost ate the
Speaker 1: whole fucking bag and I just like stop myself. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: it's it's a problem. The flavored pistachio is want one
Speaker 1: of the best snacks. Its salt in general, but all
Speaker 1: pistachios they have salt and pepper, they have they have
Speaker 1: like Chilean lime, they have all kinds of flip best.
Speaker 1: You know, what do you do? You t J? I
Speaker 1: see you. I watched my kids discover the joys of
Speaker 1: like peeling pistachios and then like eating them and just
Speaker 1: had had a whole new appreciation. It was like one
Speaker 1: of those things where it's like they were like this,
Speaker 1: we're like a crawfish. Yeah, they're they're gonna grow They're
Speaker 1: gonna grow up. And see that they could have been
Speaker 1: having them shell the whole time and call you a
Speaker 1: broke boy. Yeah that's okay. Would you buy that though?
Speaker 1: Because I was I was faced with that decision when
Speaker 1: I was at the store, like do I buy a
Speaker 1: just straight for the nut meat or do I do?
Speaker 1: I like, am I about the process? Okay? And I
Speaker 1: was like the process and immediately I was like, no, man,
Speaker 1: the whole point is to fucking rip them open and
Speaker 1: ship and throw them in a bullet. Yeah. Anyway, naked
Speaker 1: gun joke where they got the statio shells outside of
Speaker 1: the steak out? Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: All right? So I planned to go with something like
Speaker 1: really mature sounding this time, and you know, like actively,
Speaker 1: you know, being kind to others, you know, especially given
Speaker 1: the time with circumstances, but you know, and offering compassion
Speaker 1: and kindness to folks in need. Those are those are
Speaker 1: things that we should be doing. But I honestly, I
Speaker 1: decided that your listeners and listeners to a show like this,
Speaker 1: they already know those things, and honestly, I don't need
Speaker 1: to beat them over the head with their reality. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a quick moment to do a
Speaker 1: bootleg and a Josier streaming corner. Uh, please for give
Speaker 1: you for this one, and I'm gonna defend a show
Speaker 1: and even mention another one. Ozar, here we go. I
Speaker 1: promise you I don't want beef with Francesca fiorent teeny
Speaker 1: uh and plea, I hope I said that right, wonderful guests.
Speaker 1: I don't want any beasts, but I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: right now, Yes, it's the Midwest version of breaking bad,
Speaker 1: and I'm not you know, there's no way around it.
Speaker 1: You know. Sure, it's a bit repetitive in the same
Speaker 1: way as it shows, you know that nature tend to
Speaker 1: be with you know, con but forced drama and continue
Speaker 1: family trauma, you know, at least from that perspective. But
Speaker 1: it's unique enough in the way they break things downs down.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, especially in seasons one and two. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just feel obligated to defend those of us that are,
Speaker 1: you know, still still actively watching just about anything and everything,
Speaker 1: because I'm honestly, Miles, you were saying this all throughout
Speaker 1: the pandemic, and I recognize there are some people that
Speaker 1: are no longer living in one, even though we are
Speaker 1: still in one. For me, I'm watching everything, so honestly, Ozark,
Speaker 1: it's not the end of it. You're in the airplane.
Speaker 1: Everything is the air everything watching, watching to completion. For example,
Speaker 1: I'm currently watching wo Assassin's on Netflix. You know, it's
Speaker 1: absolutely not my usual genreal shows. You know, it's acting
Speaker 1: adventure with pretty inexplicab inexplicably bad graphics at times. But
Speaker 1: here we are. You know, chances are if you can
Speaker 1: string together to consecutive decsent episodes, I'm going to give
Speaker 1: it a shot. Okay, wait, so what because I'm my
Speaker 1: thing with those are I couldn't get probably the third
Speaker 1: episode in. It just wasn't doing it for me. So
Speaker 1: I stopped three episodes in. Because this is the same
Speaker 1: thing that people said with Mad Men's like you gotta
Speaker 1: get through like the first five the first and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get through. But and this might
Speaker 1: be another thing too, where I'm willing to just for
Speaker 1: me personally. I don't know. Maybe it's not the same show,
Speaker 1: but I'm not trying to say unequivocally it's uh, it's trash.
Speaker 1: It's not the same show. But I but again I
Speaker 1: I do, I do recognize that criticism. I would say
Speaker 1: this anything that anyone tells me generally, you know, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you just have to get through it. I'm I'm usually
Speaker 1: one of those people. It's like, well and it probably sucks,
Speaker 1: but you know, for this one, they do a decent
Speaker 1: enough job. And again you see those one and too
Speaker 1: they do a decent enough job in making the characters
Speaker 1: somewhat redeemable to where you actually buy into him, to
Speaker 1: where there is that you know, there is that buy in.
Speaker 1: But you know, like for for like you, I know,
Speaker 1: there's folks that simply they'll they're never gonna like, oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, the main character, um, Jason Bing's there's certain
Speaker 1: people that are just never gonna like him. And I
Speaker 1: recognize that. So if he's not, I like him. That's
Speaker 1: the reason I even gave it a shot because I
Speaker 1: loved the arrested development and I'm just like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: willing to go on this journey with Jason as he
Speaker 1: figures out his acting. I would say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I am a little bit biased. You know, Kevin L.
Speaker 1: Johnson an actor, He's been a bunch of stuff. He
Speaker 1: you know, I've interviewed him a couple of times on
Speaker 1: different shows that I've done. You know, he's he plays
Speaker 1: a character on the show. You know, so I'm always gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of want positive things for it, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I genuinely enjoy it. All right. Well that's that is
Speaker 1: the sort of thing we need to hear and are underrated,
Speaker 1: you know, get let let people really feel okay about
Speaker 1: something that other people have been because I I feel
Speaker 1: like I have not heard a positive take on oz
Speaker 1: Ark in a long time, So that's that's great to hear.
Speaker 1: I might, I might just give it a chance. It's
Speaker 1: also because season three they just kind of went off
Speaker 1: the deep end and and I'll openly admit their characterization
Speaker 1: of what bipolar disorder looks like it's really offensive to
Speaker 1: those of us that suffer from bipolar disorder. So so
Speaker 1: if people have that complaint, I want to understand it,
Speaker 1: because that's that's legitimate. Yeah, alright, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. And we're back and
Speaker 1: we're just gonna do like a general check in with
Speaker 1: the State of America. But before we do, we were
Speaker 1: realizing before we started recording Jabari, that the last time
Speaker 1: you were on was January five. It's been kind of
Speaker 1: an uneventful eight months since. Uh no that so the
Speaker 1: day before the insurrection you you were on here last.
Speaker 1: So I'm just warning people, you know, watch out for
Speaker 1: tomorrow Tuesday. We'll see what happens. Don't sleep on the
Speaker 1: influence of nice exactly grow with the gravitational pull of Jupiter.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. But Myles, you were
Speaker 1: kind of, uh, you put together some thoughts on just
Speaker 1: sort of this idea of America's practice of selective empathy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, like just like last time
Speaker 1: with the media not talking about Afghanistan in one way,
Speaker 1: Like now I look at, you know, with the conversation
Speaker 1: talking about resettling Afghan refugees. I was just you know,
Speaker 1: seeing how the momentum was moving very swiftly, you know,
Speaker 1: because there's by eighty eight thousand Afghans that assisted, you know,
Speaker 1: occupying American and Allied forces during the Forever War. And
Speaker 1: now the US is like obviously scrambling to relocate these
Speaker 1: people to fulfill a moral obligation um since you know,
Speaker 1: like leaving them and their family members behind in the
Speaker 1: places like Taliban is like trying to have retaliatory attacks
Speaker 1: against these people just is what it should be done
Speaker 1: on a minimum level, if not more people. And then
Speaker 1: you look at the polling, right, Americans are pretty much
Speaker 1: on the same page like Democrats. Sevent of Republicans are
Speaker 1: saying like yeah, we like we're I'm open to I
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to resettling these people in America and
Speaker 1: understand like that the narrative is they helped the the army,
Speaker 1: so they should just like that's their ticket to the
Speaker 1: United States. And another story I read about these South
Speaker 1: Florida Republicans who were very enthusiastic about welcoming these people,
Speaker 1: and I'm not I don't have in the opposition to
Speaker 1: the fact that they're open that they feel, you know,
Speaker 1: aligned with this sentiment. But it just says like a
Speaker 1: lot right because like at a minimum, it acknowledges that
Speaker 1: these people put themselves and their loved ones in harm's
Speaker 1: way to help the United States military, and they understand
Speaker 1: like the reciprocal nature of this transaction, Like that's okay,
Speaker 1: we get it, y'all all could have got fucked up
Speaker 1: helping the US. Are are are you know, brave men
Speaker 1: and women out there? So this this you know, equates
Speaker 1: to a ticket back. But like this other way to
Speaker 1: sort of underlines this fucked up way in which Americans
Speaker 1: choose to have empathy for displaced people, Like if you
Speaker 1: are working in service of the American war machine, then
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer that you know, like oh man
Speaker 1: like you, because then it's like you were one of
Speaker 1: the good ones, you know what I mean, Like we
Speaker 1: came funked up your country, you still helped out. You
Speaker 1: know what, That's worth a ticket back here. We thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. And then you know, and then
Speaker 1: even though like normally the narrative around Afghan refugees, like
Speaker 1: on Fox has basically been and terribly islamophobic and xenophobic
Speaker 1: and you know, ethno nationalist, but seventies six percent of
Speaker 1: Republicans feel that it is our duty as Americans to
Speaker 1: take these people in. And I'm just like, what the funk?
Speaker 1: What does this say about every other situation that we're
Speaker 1: involved in that intersects with the United States foreign policy
Speaker 1: and displacement of people and even domestic policy and displacement
Speaker 1: of people that where does It's just it's it's a
Speaker 1: it's amazing to see how people can just selectively be like, yep,
Speaker 1: those people deserve empathy. Those people at the border not
Speaker 1: so much. I mean, granted that you can draw straight
Speaker 1: lines from American foreign policy and intervention in Latin America
Speaker 1: to why we have this immigration problem. And on the
Speaker 1: same level, if it's like, well, these people are displaced
Speaker 1: because you get cheap fruit for the for fucking dole
Speaker 1: or whatever that there's no there's no empathy, there's no
Speaker 1: understanding of what the root causes are, and it's just
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I'm just sitting there thinking, right,
Speaker 1: And here's another example of all that. Right, It's where
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's because the cheap fruit is like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's implicating the consumer, you know it is.
Speaker 1: It kind of gets it this undercurrent where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: all of this is being done to just feed the
Speaker 1: kind of massive consuming machine that America has instead of
Speaker 1: a soul, and we don't want to acknowledge that, right,
Speaker 1: And if you go just slightly broader, right, the fruit
Speaker 1: is like one dimension because the whole point of fighting
Speaker 1: all these like all the intervention in Latin America was
Speaker 1: the way the US was fighting the Cold War kind
Speaker 1: of whole thing was like, do not do not like
Speaker 1: communism root on the continent, and we'll do whatever the
Speaker 1: funk we have to do by hook or by crook
Speaker 1: to figure out how to stop that momentum. So on
Speaker 1: some level, you could argue that this was happening to
Speaker 1: protect America's freedom, right, like that that rhetoric is sort
Speaker 1: of that like our logic was being applied. Yet again
Speaker 1: we look at displaced people from there and go, oh,
Speaker 1: that's that's your problem, that's problem. Well, I mean really
Speaker 1: the it has always felt like the cut off and
Speaker 1: it's it's very clear at this stage, especially over these
Speaker 1: last couple of years, to cut off is like do
Speaker 1: we feel like these people have you have value to us?
Speaker 1: Do we? And I'm not saying the three of us.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like you know, you know, those of
Speaker 1: us that actually have natural empathy, but I'm saying you'll,
Speaker 1: you know, the general public. Oftentimes it seems like if
Speaker 1: they if we don't feel like, you know, there there's
Speaker 1: value monetary actual value to you, then it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And and and then and that's and that's more telling
Speaker 1: about you know, about society because you know, and and
Speaker 1: it's actually it's not just how we look at you know,
Speaker 1: at you know, you know, people in foreign land, just
Speaker 1: how we look at people in America. If you are poor,
Speaker 1: you aren't you you're don't you ain't ship you know,
Speaker 1: like if you if you're not out here working, if
Speaker 1: you're not out there contributing to this, you know, to
Speaker 1: this system, then you you know, you're not worth our time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's and and like and I get there too.
Speaker 1: You know, a big differences with Afghanistan and you know,
Speaker 1: everything that happened at nine eleven, there was just you know, NonStop,
Speaker 1: it was a prime time TV onflict for for a
Speaker 1: certain point, and so people and there is countless TV shows,
Speaker 1: you know, and and films that were like talking about
Speaker 1: like what's happening over in the Middle East and things
Speaker 1: like that post nine eleven that that was a thing
Speaker 1: that people had just like this sort of concept of
Speaker 1: but there isn't much talking about American intervention in other
Speaker 1: places and things like that and this. But but then
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well maybe it's a historical thing, right,
Speaker 1: like because people know what what's going on in Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: and like they're like, okay, well that I understand why
Speaker 1: we need to extend empathy there, even though truly it's
Speaker 1: not even it's only being extended to eight thousand people
Speaker 1: among millions in the region. But it's the same thing
Speaker 1: with like Black Americans. We fucking built this country, right,
Speaker 1: and the land was stolen from indigenous people. Yet these
Speaker 1: groups are still like I don't know what the funk
Speaker 1: y'all problem is, right, what is your what is going on?
Speaker 1: And and so it's just it's just really it's like
Speaker 1: sickening to watch how certain issues that deal with things
Speaker 1: that are happening within the country and are so clear
Speaker 1: of like why we need to correct things, you know,
Speaker 1: but there's just not the energy for that yet. For
Speaker 1: these things there's like a lot of there's just a
Speaker 1: lot of media momentum, and Americans can selectively say like, right,
Speaker 1: I I totally understand why we need to our obligation
Speaker 1: to resettle these these refugees. Yet we still are unable
Speaker 1: to look at all these myriad of ways that we're
Speaker 1: connected to other struggles and problems within the country and
Speaker 1: outside and still not be compelled because it's easy to
Speaker 1: turn a blind eye and you and you know, the
Speaker 1: next thing will come up and we'll all obsess about
Speaker 1: that after they have to, you know, honestly, y'all know,
Speaker 1: like I appreciate shows like this, I appreciate ethnically ambiguous
Speaker 1: and you know, like those wonderful ladies and and and
Speaker 1: both Andy and Swering, you know, for pointing stuff like
Speaker 1: this out whether it's on you know, whether it's on
Speaker 1: the shows, whether it's on you know, you know, whether
Speaker 1: it's on the timeline. And actually, you know, through conversations
Speaker 1: with Anna in particular, you know, like she was the
Speaker 1: one who pointed out, like you know, we we as
Speaker 1: a country, we we definitely pick and choose, We definitely
Speaker 1: pick and choose what's going to matter. Who was going
Speaker 1: to matter? You know how much it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: going to matter. And we really can't do that, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's what I say, we really can't
Speaker 1: do that. Yes we can, but we obviously really shouldn't
Speaker 1: because look at where we're at, right, Yeah, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: and this whole thing is just about preserving like like
Speaker 1: you say, we were selective about where we choose to
Speaker 1: understand what's at stake or what the consequences were for
Speaker 1: other people based on certain policies, and and like then
Speaker 1: the second we try to inform people right of like history,
Speaker 1: we see what happens, it's just met with rage and
Speaker 1: violence because it's you know, the the whole the ignorance
Speaker 1: is meant to intended to sort of preserve this American
Speaker 1: sense of moral purity and with Afghanistan, I think it
Speaker 1: gives people a really easy thing to be like, Yep,
Speaker 1: there was a war there. These people are basically they
Speaker 1: fought on this team, so they get to come on
Speaker 1: back on the bus back to of the locker room
Speaker 1: after the game kind of mentality. But the second it
Speaker 1: begot begins to really sort of intersect with something a
Speaker 1: little more like closer to home or something that you
Speaker 1: may actually have to think about deeper than just really
Speaker 1: this like very clean sort of logic path, then it
Speaker 1: becomes chaotic and things like that, and it's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just it's fucked up because there's countless ways that people
Speaker 1: are being left behind, whether it's in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: in South Asia wherever. But we you know, we we
Speaker 1: we chug along on this path and like we only
Speaker 1: see things get worse. I'm just kind of thinking, like
Speaker 1: what does it take, you know, because if it's not
Speaker 1: about connecting people to the history to understand sort of
Speaker 1: like the US is placed in that, what like what
Speaker 1: will do it? Yeah, there's Americans seem particularly bad at
Speaker 1: feeling empathy towards poor people in our own country because
Speaker 1: I think they're you know, we I talk on to
Speaker 1: hear a lot about like just work the like psychological
Speaker 1: work that needs to be done too, for like kind
Speaker 1: of the passive white supremacists in the country to just
Speaker 1: like go about their daily lives and like kind of
Speaker 1: pushed down whatever that that reality is, whatever realities are
Speaker 1: hitting them, like whether it's somebody living on the street
Speaker 1: or you know, the videos of police shooting innocent people
Speaker 1: of color. Like, there's just so much work that's having
Speaker 1: to be done for them to like block that out.
Speaker 1: And so by letting in empathy for anybody in the
Speaker 1: country already, you're almost having to admit like that that
Speaker 1: whole thing is on shaky foundation, Whereas I feel like
Speaker 1: the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War, the media and
Speaker 1: the American people were able to like kind of think
Speaker 1: of it as a thing that was separate from them,
Speaker 1: and so that's enabling them. And then you know, the
Speaker 1: specifics of the really shocking and horrifying footage from the airport,
Speaker 1: especially in those early days, I think like probably just
Speaker 1: crystallized things in the kind of American consciousness, which is
Speaker 1: wild though too, because there's so many people that are
Speaker 1: destitute here and and yeah, like it's just this it's
Speaker 1: like we just want to put our eyes on the
Speaker 1: thing that feels like it can be solved in that
Speaker 1: one thing, Oh, the Afghanistan thing can be solved if
Speaker 1: we get enough people on planes, and then it's over
Speaker 1: and off to think about it and it's done. I
Speaker 1: look at you know, you look at things that happened
Speaker 1: on the streets of any city, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York,
Speaker 1: l A. Wherever there's there's real problems, and it's much easier,
Speaker 1: I guess, to go down that path to think of
Speaker 1: how we can solve that is just too much of
Speaker 1: a task for some people to engage in mentally, when
Speaker 1: most of it really is just about being like no
Speaker 1: one's asking you to solve it, but like fun, man,
Speaker 1: the same feeling for for that if you if your
Speaker 1: heart's broken seeing people who are clinging to you know,
Speaker 1: trying to escape their country to get here, and you
Speaker 1: can somewhat understand like, oh yeah, I get that. Just
Speaker 1: just open your heart a little bit, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean to be able to have that sort of
Speaker 1: same level of compassion for more people. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's just that's me being like, what's what's wrong with us?
Speaker 1: But it also feels like all of this is you know,
Speaker 1: very very specifically by designing, like, for instance, there's a
Speaker 1: reason why we didn't ever see the footage of you know,
Speaker 1: like what was going on in Afghanistan. There's a reason
Speaker 1: why we didn't see the Body Council's reason why they
Speaker 1: didn't even keep tracking a lot of you know, in
Speaker 1: a lot of situations, there's a really like it and
Speaker 1: the same thing goes where you know, you know, domestically,
Speaker 1: individuals are no longer seen as individuals if we just
Speaker 1: call them gangs or we say that it's gang violence,
Speaker 1: instead of saying like, these are people, these are Americans
Speaker 1: that are you know, they're suffering, that are in terrible situations,
Speaker 1: that are you know, innocent, you know, you know, beyond
Speaker 1: beliefs at at at In a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of situations, it's easy to just ignore. It's easy to do.
Speaker 1: You're like, you to look past people like it's the
Speaker 1: same it's the same thing. You pull up, you put
Speaker 1: like let's say you're getting off the freeway, you're getting
Speaker 1: off the four or five, there's a dude sitting there
Speaker 1: right at you know, right there, waiting for money. It's
Speaker 1: really you folks will roll that window of turn and
Speaker 1: beat up and look forward. That's what we've always done. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I just yeah, and I know like on some level,
Speaker 1: like you know, it's it's a feeling of shame or
Speaker 1: powerlessness like someone you know, depending on how you you
Speaker 1: process it. At times, like for me, it's like a
Speaker 1: feeling of shame like funck man, Like I can't like this.
Speaker 1: I feel so helpless that there's this person was my age,
Speaker 1: who is We're probably coming from very similar circumstances, and
Speaker 1: this is how things shake up because this is how
Speaker 1: things are you know, sort of designed in the country. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just and I think it's it can be overwhelming
Speaker 1: for a lot of people on some level too, But
Speaker 1: it's just like this sort of very it's it's like
Speaker 1: one of the many superpowers that Americans and American media
Speaker 1: have created to sort of keep the status quo going
Speaker 1: in this direction, which is one that doesn't really care
Speaker 1: for people that are marginalized or in need of help.
Speaker 1: Just focus on like focus on the people who who
Speaker 1: got it right. So just kind of in a related story,
Speaker 1: kind of more specifically, the way the Supreme Court interacts
Speaker 1: with this the Supreme Court last week made to like
Speaker 1: what what are being called shadow docket decisions. I guess
Speaker 1: this is when the president kind of forces an issue
Speaker 1: onto their desk that's like this needs immediate attention. When
Speaker 1: the Trump administration was doing that, they were siding with
Speaker 1: the Trump administration a lot more. It's basically a decision
Speaker 1: where they don't have to like write out full decisions,
Speaker 1: they just like make a decision on it. And like
Speaker 1: in one of the cases here, it was a two
Speaker 1: paragraph decision. So these were the first ones that Biden
Speaker 1: kind of pushed through to their desk and the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: and in both cases the Supreme Court ruled to basically
Speaker 1: side with the Trump administration. Biden was trying to reverse
Speaker 1: a Trump policy that was forcing people to stay in
Speaker 1: Mexico if they had asylum claims at the border, and
Speaker 1: it was just, you know, using pure technicalities, the six
Speaker 1: conservatives on the Supreme Court basically made the decision that
Speaker 1: the conservatives of the country would want to, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, just have no empathy for them, keep them
Speaker 1: in Mexico not our problem. Again, like there, I think
Speaker 1: there's that's nu that's like not that wasn't even the policy. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: they've moved the Yeah, they've moved the field goals, like
Speaker 1: back for the goal posts. Goal posts is the word
Speaker 1: that I was looking for. I think there's a when
Speaker 1: we talked about the Supreme Court, especially in the mainstream media,
Speaker 1: I feel like there is this sense that they are
Speaker 1: are like these theoreticians who are like operating in a
Speaker 1: void and like it's just we're just sitting back to
Speaker 1: like wait to see what these like legal supercomputers decide
Speaker 1: is the most just thing. But as as we've talked about,
Speaker 1: like you know, intelligence gives you like really highly intelligent
Speaker 1: people have the ability to make a strong argument for
Speaker 1: whatever the funk they want to believe. That's why highly
Speaker 1: intelligent people are more likely to be in cult and
Speaker 1: that's why this whole idea of the Supreme Court, like
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court could come up with a seemingly logically
Speaker 1: coherent case for anything they wanted to literally anything, using
Speaker 1: like previous precedent because there like the world's best at
Speaker 1: arguing for ship, like that's what that's what they do.
Speaker 1: So I like this is a political vehicle, which is
Speaker 1: why m the other shadow docket case that they ended
Speaker 1: the eviction moratorium that Biden was trying to extend. As
Speaker 1: we've talked about, that is a horrifying example of just
Speaker 1: America's ability to not feel empathy for the people around them.
Speaker 1: Right well, the Constitution, I don't know if I don't
Speaker 1: know if the founding fathers were thinking about this. So
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll sigh with the landlords on this one.
Speaker 1: And now, you know, luckily a lot of states have
Speaker 1: their own moratoriums and things like that. But this is
Speaker 1: still putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk of eviction.
Speaker 1: And we're already seeing and it's already happening because people
Speaker 1: are doing in other ways that aren't your traditional ways
Speaker 1: of evictim It might be like, oh it's time to
Speaker 1: renew your lease, they're not going to renew it, this,
Speaker 1: that and the other, And that's how they're getting to
Speaker 1: be able to out people and then hike the rates
Speaker 1: up and then bring in other people who are to
Speaker 1: make I guess, making just enough more to justify their
Speaker 1: you know, exorbitant rent increases in things. Not to be
Speaker 1: like impressing, but like basically what I would I've gotten
Speaker 1: out of this conversation thus far as like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: just don't care. As Americans, you know, we don't care
Speaker 1: you know, we we do not care about employees, We
Speaker 1: do not care about your workers rights. We don't care
Speaker 1: about you know, so if someone if someone ends up
Speaker 1: being out on the street, we don't care about you know,
Speaker 1: the unhoused. It's just a kind of across the board.
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. And it's true of many
Speaker 1: other countries, but and and here it's like it's like
Speaker 1: it done to this degree that is so aggressive and
Speaker 1: like in your face that it's it's really hard to
Speaker 1: wrap your head around. And I think the sooner people
Speaker 1: can understand like that that's actually kind of like the
Speaker 1: tone of how this country works. It helps you to
Speaker 1: sort of redouble your efforts to realize, Okay, I need
Speaker 1: to actually be on the side of people like I
Speaker 1: don't know why the funk I'm caping for fucking Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 1: Like these people are gonna do ship for us. Like
Speaker 1: that's why you look more and you see, like in
Speaker 1: your neighborhoods, people put out, you know, like unperishable food
Speaker 1: items on the corner just to help support you. Look,
Speaker 1: if you know it's free food right here, if you're hungry, like,
Speaker 1: come through, dig in here, there's there's there's shipped to eat.
Speaker 1: That's really how you can sort of lift people up
Speaker 1: because waiting, you know, for the Supreme Court or Joe
Speaker 1: Biden to do the right thing, it's just gonna lead
Speaker 1: to more fucking chaos. And I think that's the thing,
Speaker 1: like when tor was on talking about dual power and
Speaker 1: ideas like that, is that Americans really need to begin
Speaker 1: to embrace that that most Americans do have empathy. Most
Speaker 1: Americans like your neighbors, you're like, damn man like, but
Speaker 1: they're fucking cool. Like day I didn't really talk to him,
Speaker 1: but something happened and like we got together and we
Speaker 1: we sorted something out that was great to have community.
Speaker 1: You see it, and you saw it in Texas when
Speaker 1: the power ran out. A lot of Texans were having
Speaker 1: to lean on each other to get through it because
Speaker 1: the fucking damn sure the utility companies weren't going to
Speaker 1: help and make things you know, quick and expedient for
Speaker 1: their recovery. So on that level, like we know those
Speaker 1: pieces are there, but it's like it's like embracing this
Speaker 1: idea too, that there are ways that we can collectively
Speaker 1: take care of each other and protect each other in
Speaker 1: a way that is beneficial to everyone. And we're not
Speaker 1: waiting on the decisions of a bureaucracy that's being run
Speaker 1: by people that are grandparents age who we look at
Speaker 1: our own damn grammars like, oh, I don't know ship, yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're running. But these same that their classmates are
Speaker 1: running the country basically, and we're like wondering, like I
Speaker 1: wonder why nothing's working because we have it's and and
Speaker 1: because that that mentality that like, hey, everything's okay, nothing's wrong.
Speaker 1: That may have worked when there were greater tax revenues
Speaker 1: to help people, but we're in a different era now
Speaker 1: and that kind of thinking is just so regressive and
Speaker 1: it's violent. So it's like it's like getting people really
Speaker 1: motivated enough to see like, yeah, you can, you can
Speaker 1: see this place for what it is, not get totally
Speaker 1: black pilled, but then pivot to, well, what's the solution.
Speaker 1: The solution is finding like having policies that are more humane,
Speaker 1: like and on some level, the first thing should be
Speaker 1: like it's a pandemic, well, no one should go hungry
Speaker 1: and no one should be kicked out on the street
Speaker 1: because it's a pandemic. But here we're arguing courts like, well,
Speaker 1: the CDC doesn't have the lord legal authority. Well, what
Speaker 1: the funk are we talking about. We're talking about people
Speaker 1: on the street, but we're not We're not having a
Speaker 1: conversation like in those terms. And that's the kind like,
Speaker 1: that's where we need to re center a lot of things.
Speaker 1: But that's the process of I think of waiting for
Speaker 1: these kind of generational shifts and our political culture. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court like way of dual power needs to
Speaker 1: be the answer, because the Supreme Court is like purely
Speaker 1: an ideological tool and it's going to be doing things
Speaker 1: in the background for generations to come that hurt Americans
Speaker 1: and you know, keep it out of step with the
Speaker 1: will of the people, assuming nothing changes, and they don't
Speaker 1: fucking kill the filibuster and pack the court like they
Speaker 1: absolutely should. But one very frustrating development is that Stephen Bryer,
Speaker 1: one of the older members of the Court, one of
Speaker 1: the three left leaning justice says is choosing to be
Speaker 1: loyal to that like understanding of the Court as like
Speaker 1: a impartial, living embodiment of the scales of justice statue
Speaker 1: and is not retiring because he claims that all the
Speaker 1: justices he said acting good faith and in his career
Speaker 1: that you're old. You're old. You're fucking old, and you're
Speaker 1: not seeing I don't mean to be agist or anything
Speaker 1: like that, but like, you're not looking at the country
Speaker 1: at the same lens that the millions of people who
Speaker 1: are going to be living on this planet and this
Speaker 1: country are looking at it too, And it's like this,
Speaker 1: They're like, we're holding onto these romantic ideas of a
Speaker 1: time that we're also really fucked up for most other people. Yum,
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, anyway, So I'm sorry that I don't
Speaker 1: mean to get upset and Justice Brier or the are
Speaker 1: do like fucking hurry the funk up, get out of
Speaker 1: there so to prevent further catastrophe. He's like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to die while having this job. So he definitely like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I also read that. I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: there's a chance that he'll he'll figure it out or
Speaker 1: people sho start screaming at him. Can I say the
Speaker 1: quiet part, like we don't need another situation like we
Speaker 1: have with RBG. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's really what it
Speaker 1: is like, bro. If you're feeling it, get on out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's well, which is why, yeah, we need massive change
Speaker 1: here too, because if all of these like decisions that
Speaker 1: impact millions of people and whether or not they have
Speaker 1: a home fall to a group of fucking blue plate
Speaker 1: dinner special motherfucker's who are like, oh, well, let's see,
Speaker 1: I'm clearly a plant for America's corporatocracy. And you know,
Speaker 1: like what, that's not a way to adjudicate anything. And
Speaker 1: we're only gonna go careening fucking even harder into a
Speaker 1: wall without like really asking ourselves these questions. Do we
Speaker 1: need lifetime appointments, we need limitations on these terms, we
Speaker 1: need or more justices, whatever it is. But it ain't
Speaker 1: working like this with the three six mafia, three liberals
Speaker 1: and six conservatives. It ain't happen. The fourth most liberal
Speaker 1: member of the Supreme Court, Justice John Roberts Crofton on
Speaker 1: the Live Show, pointed out that he was part of
Speaker 1: like the basically the year two thousand version of the
Speaker 1: January six insurrection, but it actually worked where they stormed
Speaker 1: where they were recounting votes in Florida, and he he
Speaker 1: was part of what's called the Brooks Brothers Riot, which
Speaker 1: you should look up a few. So that's who we're
Speaker 1: at a at a place where we're like, well, that's
Speaker 1: the best we can do other than the three liberal justices.
Speaker 1: So it's a real disaster, and hopefully, you know, somebody
Speaker 1: comes up with a thing to do up on that level,
Speaker 1: up on high but five. Yeah, I think to your point,
Speaker 1: just finding ways to get involved at locally is really
Speaker 1: kind of the only thing to do. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take another quick break and we'll come back and talk
Speaker 1: about McDonald's ice cream. And we're back, and yeah, when
Speaker 1: you're craving ice cream and you already happened to be
Speaker 1: inside of the McDonald's, nothing beats McDonald's ice cream. It's
Speaker 1: the best for when you are physically within six foot
Speaker 1: radius of one of their machines. But the ice cream
Speaker 1: machine has like that there's a problem with the me.
Speaker 1: It's all. Yeah, it's almost always broken. They it's so
Speaker 1: widespread that it last year. As of last year, there
Speaker 1: was an app called Mick Broken that displays which locations
Speaker 1: have working ice cream machines, and so people were like
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what why this is happening. McDonald's
Speaker 1: even started like doing self deprecating tweets. They were like,
Speaker 1: we have a joke about our soft served machine, but
Speaker 1: we're worried it won't work. Oh boy, it won't work, right, thanks, thanks,
Speaker 1: So it won't work, huh? All right, come on in
Speaker 1: So anyways, just a look at the sort of corporate
Speaker 1: glut that is the American economy. These are eighteen thousand
Speaker 1: dollar ice cream machines. They're made by a company called Tailor,
Speaker 1: and basically they are designed to be impossible for McDonald's
Speaker 1: employees to fix if they if they have any problem
Speaker 1: the menu options that you need to be able to
Speaker 1: just like figure out what the fund is going on
Speaker 1: with the thing, just even get to the menu. Just
Speaker 1: to get to the menu, you need no fewer than
Speaker 1: sixteen button presses. Not even the owner's manual provides the
Speaker 1: code that you need to get like through those sixteen
Speaker 1: button presses. It can't be accessed by McDonald's workers, only
Speaker 1: Tailor employees. So it's like this is Tailor's way of
Speaker 1: like insulating themselves so that they always are needed by McDonald's.
Speaker 1: And yes, it's like it's like like low energy, non
Speaker 1: violent mobsters, whereas like I hate for your ice cream machine.
Speaker 1: To break. That's why you should call us up and
Speaker 1: get the protection package. Every week, press the cone icon
Speaker 1: on the screen of the tailor C six oh two
Speaker 1: digital ized cream machine, then tap the buttons that show
Speaker 1: a snowflake and a milkshake to set the digits on
Speaker 1: the screen to five, then two, then three, then one.
Speaker 1: After the precise series of no fewer than sixteen button presses,
Speaker 1: the menu magically unlocked. Only with this cheap code can
Speaker 1: you access the machines vital signs. So yeah, do you
Speaker 1: guys remember when McDonald's used to aggressively advertise to what
Speaker 1: I guess they considered was the urban black community where
Speaker 1: you'd be like hip hop songs and you know, people
Speaker 1: dancing with nuggets and like you know, like and literally
Speaker 1: dancing and and and break dancing and whatnot. There's only
Speaker 1: one way to solve this, And to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm kind of disappointed in all of
Speaker 1: us that have driven up to a McDonald's late at night,
Speaker 1: really just needing to you know, really needing too of
Speaker 1: those sundays. I'm disappointed that we haven't thought of it.
Speaker 1: The only way to fix this is if if we
Speaker 1: start marketing to the Karen crowd, because the Karen crowd
Speaker 1: will take care of this ship. Like I'll tell you
Speaker 1: right now, if if they roll up to that McDonald's
Speaker 1: two consecutive times and it's not working, Taylor Taylor McDonald's, whoever,
Speaker 1: someone's gonna get on top of this. Oh you say
Speaker 1: there's low doses of iver mectin at McDonald's and they're like,
Speaker 1: I need them now, and they're like, sorry, miss, it's
Speaker 1: not working. And the next thing you know, they're uploaded
Speaker 1: in a viral TikTok video them crying in their front
Speaker 1: seat with just like fucking captains going like, dude, due,
Speaker 1: I will be brave and get this mcflury machine fixed. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like that. That's that's good energy. We could we
Speaker 1: could spread the rumor that people are not serving them
Speaker 1: on purpose because their Karen's like that it's a meme
Speaker 1: and like that would really piste off and like cause
Speaker 1: them to get to the bottom of that stuff feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well this just the whole thing is just so funny too,
Speaker 1: because like it's all like even though it's one of
Speaker 1: the things that a lot of people desire most, you
Speaker 1: you'd figure at some point McDonald's be like, hey, we're
Speaker 1: fucking losing money when these machines are working, and still
Speaker 1: they're caught in this relationship with Taylor where it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I guess every store has thousands of dollars in repair
Speaker 1: bills because only Taylor can come and fix the fucking thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so this is like part of it. This is a
Speaker 1: larger like issue throughout American business. Yeah, they just passed
Speaker 1: like a or I think Biden is trying to get
Speaker 1: through a thing that's a right to repair the thing.
Speaker 1: That's just like you should be able to fix your
Speaker 1: own stuff that you buy, and there shouldn't be like
Speaker 1: forced obsolescence and forced like technical problems that you can't
Speaker 1: fix so that you need to buy a new one
Speaker 1: or pay them. Which I'm surprised because it's this like
Speaker 1: the lack of the right to repair that keeps the
Speaker 1: consumer machine humming and just people just tossing ship constantly.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, man, the volume button doesn't work on
Speaker 1: my TV. How't you go? I have a TV right now,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't turn on. And I'm like debating. I'm like, fun, funk, man,
Speaker 1: this ship costs money, Like yeah, and even though I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: g TVs are cheap, part of me is like I
Speaker 1: just know someone can come in here, open it up,
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, yeah, there's your problem. Think, and
Speaker 1: then it's like a quick fix. But I and I
Speaker 1: also find myself in that same pattern of like, oh
Speaker 1: she doesn't work. Time to trash it and get a
Speaker 1: new one. Yeah. So basically Taylor charges franchises thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars a year for maintenance contracts to like cope with this.
Speaker 1: Two people like create their own like basically game genie
Speaker 1: for this fucking ice cream machine, a gadget the size
Speaker 1: of a small paperback book called Kitch k y t
Speaker 1: c H that hacks the machine and allows McDonald's employees
Speaker 1: to access it. Then Taylor hired a private detective to
Speaker 1: dig up It's like all this betrayal and like espionage.
Speaker 1: And because like one of the people who is the
Speaker 1: head of equipment team for the National Supply Leadership Council
Speaker 1: sued them. There's now a tailor Kitch lawsuit, which has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Taylor Kitch the actor, But they
Speaker 1: actually won a victory for like right to repair ship.
Speaker 1: Just kind of cool because they completely misrepresented themselves. They
Speaker 1: were doing this ship where they would go like that.
Speaker 1: They would be like, oh, I'm just a franchise e owner.
Speaker 1: But there's a difference between a McDonald's own franchise and
Speaker 1: just like an independently owned McDonald's. And what they were
Speaker 1: doing was like they were pretending like, oh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to get one from my from my you know,
Speaker 1: from my restaurant, and then like trying to hack the
Speaker 1: ship and do all this other stuff and numerous people
Speaker 1: misrepresenting themselves to Kitch to try and get their hands
Speaker 1: on these devices and ship, and it just shows you, like,
Speaker 1: what is the fucking like more than that, why aren't
Speaker 1: they addressing their issue with Taylor, like, don't come for
Speaker 1: a kitch who was just trying to make the ice
Speaker 1: cream flow because it's funny and now and now I
Speaker 1: guess I want to go to my McDonald's and be like, yo,
Speaker 1: y'all have one of those fucking kitchen things long because
Speaker 1: you always have fucking ice cream like the other one.
Speaker 1: I used to go to North Hollywood fucking never. I
Speaker 1: remember the fucking the week mc flurries came out, this
Speaker 1: ship was a wrap like it's just like, bro, they're
Speaker 1: like it's almost like they just like blacked out the men,
Speaker 1: you like, don't even ask about that ship. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So last month, but signed an executive order called on
Speaker 1: the which called on the Federal Trade Commission to institute
Speaker 1: rules to curb all anti competitive restrictions that limit consumers
Speaker 1: ability to repair gadgets on their own terms. But again,
Speaker 1: you know that we got a Supreme Court and we're
Speaker 1: on the razor's edge, and Congress with with regards from
Speaker 1: the motor Rollo razors edge exactly with regards to just
Speaker 1: you know, having a party in power that is fully
Speaker 1: in favor of you know, the power of corporations over people.
Speaker 1: So but I don't know, I feel like this, you
Speaker 1: know because like you know, even Amy Coney Barrett sided
Speaker 1: with you know, it was like no, no, the vaccine mandates,
Speaker 1: like let those rock. There's part of me that feels
Speaker 1: like part of conservative culture would be like that. There
Speaker 1: would be people just even in the base where like
Speaker 1: no man like I should be able to repair the ship.
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't feel like quite a like a culture
Speaker 1: war battle, you know, more than like something very practical.
Speaker 1: So I am curious to see how it goes. But
Speaker 1: I won't be surprised if they're like, we've sided with
Speaker 1: the computers, all right. And finally, I do want to
Speaker 1: talk briefly just j R. Smith's journey from being you know,
Speaker 1: a meme, the meme of Lebron being very frustrated with
Speaker 1: him when he didn't know what the score was at
Speaker 1: the end of the best game that Lebron has ever
Speaker 1: played and kind of lost that game for them to
Speaker 1: now being one of the Internet's favorite human beings, my
Speaker 1: favorite human beings. But first, get we need to give
Speaker 1: people exp because not every look we know this exact game,
Speaker 1: we know not everybody listens books with them, So the
Speaker 1: Jabari Jack would do one of you want to set
Speaker 1: the table for people so they can understand, like a
Speaker 1: quick primer into JR. Smith to understand where we're going
Speaker 1: with this whole story, because I want to make sure
Speaker 1: everyone on it, because I think this is beautiful, but
Speaker 1: I have to make sure all the listeners buy in. First,
Speaker 1: I do just want to say j R. Smith, like,
Speaker 1: while I mentioned the meme thing, like that's purely me
Speaker 1: talking about like his perception within the social media landscape,
Speaker 1: Like anybody who makes it to the NBA and has
Speaker 1: a sixteen year NBA career is like a one in
Speaker 1: a million, like gifted genius that like should be completely respected.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Jabari, why don't you you had a tweet
Speaker 1: about just like kind of his journey. Yeah, I mean, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll reference that exact tweet anybody that
Speaker 1: basically goes from playing ball in New Jersey to making
Speaker 1: it to the NBA and at all, let alone being
Speaker 1: an actual really good player, winning two titles, winning a
Speaker 1: six Man of the Year, having a stint in China
Speaker 1: midway through his career. When when when honestly a lot
Speaker 1: of us are like, Okay, well that's gonna be the
Speaker 1: rest of his career. Nope, came on back one titles
Speaker 1: after the fact, you know that that really is the
Speaker 1: American dream, and like and and now I'm sorry. And
Speaker 1: now he's thirty five years old, going back to college
Speaker 1: to to uh, you know, to compete in collegiate golf
Speaker 1: and live tweeting about his experiences and study hall and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I I can't think of a
Speaker 1: better Yeah, he's he's some of his tweets. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: he's a great golfer and is going to be on
Speaker 1: the golf team and is like apparently a very fun
Speaker 1: teammate on the golf team. But he's he's just like
Speaker 1: a college student right now. Yeah, and his tweets are
Speaker 1: fucking amazing, just like someone that's just I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: read a couple of them right from his his first
Speaker 1: weeks and going back to college as a third like
Speaker 1: a retired NBA player who just won a championship to
Speaker 1: the previous season and now just trying to be a student.
Speaker 1: Just trying to be low key even though you're sucking
Speaker 1: j R. Smith. He says, everywhere and everyone around the
Speaker 1: city keep asking me who you got doing your who
Speaker 1: you got doing your work? Ship me l O L.
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to learn something, the funk thing. He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm really here, first tutoring session in the books. I
Speaker 1: really like Mrs Burke extremely helpful. You're like, alright, j R. Smith,
Speaker 1: I'm like this. Next someone says, do you attend the
Speaker 1: dining halls for meals or do you cook from home?
Speaker 1: And he quote tweeted responded, he said, I'm going to
Speaker 1: start learning how to cook. I'm way too old to
Speaker 1: not know how to learn how to at least cook
Speaker 1: two to three meals. That's just lazy. I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: like you're talking sense, like like mothers would have visited.
Speaker 1: And then somebody was like, oh, what do you want
Speaker 1: to learn to cook? And he said shrimp alfredo and
Speaker 1: somebody was like, dude, that's like the easiest thing to
Speaker 1: cook in the world. And he would have been like,
Speaker 1: shut the funk up, but he was like, well, not
Speaker 1: for me, and just like yeah right, like yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: after that ship with Lebron and the Calves and that
Speaker 1: me meme moment, I feel like he's got some thick
Speaker 1: skin someone saying. He's like yeah, yeah, okay, keep it moving.
Speaker 1: And then when this other one I really love, he said,
Speaker 1: finished my English homework, dope short story about a little
Speaker 1: girl with six brothers and seeking parental approval, dope reading,
Speaker 1: and then the books are stack of books emoji, and
Speaker 1: I was like, he's loving it. And I love to
Speaker 1: see like this sort of you know, when you see
Speaker 1: people kind of get this whole new energy about them
Speaker 1: rather than just being like, let me let the momentum
Speaker 1: dissipate of being in the NBA and being an athlete.
Speaker 1: And then I just kind of figured out from there,
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I want to go. I want to
Speaker 1: go get a duke. I I want to learn. And
Speaker 1: I'm loving that too. He's basically Rodney Danger filling back
Speaker 1: to school, except for yeah, an NBA champion really and yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean somebody like asked their cousin if they like,
Speaker 1: who goes to that college? If they see him on campus,
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, all the time, he's legit, like
Speaker 1: on campus, yeah, yeah, he's going to a historically black
Speaker 1: college North Carolina. Yeah yeah, so yeah, he's just good.
Speaker 1: It's just it's also funny to see tweets of other
Speaker 1: students at the at the college be like, Yo, let
Speaker 1: this man fucking live okay, Like you guys are mobbing him,
Speaker 1: and he's just he's a student, just like any of
Speaker 1: us trying to get this degree. And I'm like, I
Speaker 1: love it. I just love everything about this story where
Speaker 1: this like other people who like, I get it, he's
Speaker 1: here and maybe it's a distraction, but also respect that
Speaker 1: he's also pursuing an education. The fact that he's made
Speaker 1: it this far without like getting signed up for a
Speaker 1: reality show that is like following him around with the
Speaker 1: giant camera crew is impressive. Because that's you know, that's coming,
Speaker 1: or at least somebody is. He's having to turn down
Speaker 1: a lot of money to to keep that out of
Speaker 1: this journey. He also said somebody was like, you gotta
Speaker 1: sign up for intermural basketball, and he's like, facts, So
Speaker 1: can you imagine? I mean, I will pay to see
Speaker 1: those Oh my god, if I should up the intermural
Speaker 1: And j R. Smith is sitting there, it's like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: what the fun are we doing? Yeah, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm trying to play, but yeah, I mean in a
Speaker 1: way like I'm so competitive. Sometimes I can see that
Speaker 1: turning into straight up rage at j R. Smith because
Speaker 1: I'm like, you shouldn't be here. You're a fucking immortal
Speaker 1: and it's not right. I'm just trying to fucking do
Speaker 1: me and You're gonna wind mill on me? Are you
Speaker 1: fucking dumb? I don't need this Coke miles coming back, Yeah,
Speaker 1: cocaine murals miles coming back, and yeah, just man, it
Speaker 1: was a fucking foul man. And it was just like
Speaker 1: low bridging him and Ship They're like, oh my god, dude,
Speaker 1: this guy's sucking Say yeah, what like when the worst
Speaker 1: guy on Georgetown would come to like run at like
Speaker 1: the gym where everybody played like in definitely the worst guy.
Speaker 1: It was just like night and day. Could you imagine
Speaker 1: somebody who was the best player on Georgetown, let alone
Speaker 1: the like one of the best players in the world,
Speaker 1: like playing interviereal basketball. Like coming up, I played in
Speaker 1: the league based out of Tarzana Park. It was actually,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty pretty competitive league. Like at the time
Speaker 1: when Gilbert Raines was in college, he you know, he
Speaker 1: played in you know, foolishly, and I can tell you
Speaker 1: what it feels like. I was one of those folks
Speaker 1: that I came up playing basketball, played you know, played
Speaker 1: high school, played traveling teams and whatnot. It was a
Speaker 1: man a RC. I absolutely did play r RC you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to North Hollywood games, but playing the gift
Speaker 1: guys that are that have that have it. It's night
Speaker 1: and day. If you don't, don't belong on the core
Speaker 1: with him. So it's it's always funny to me when
Speaker 1: I see people on NBA Twitter talking about, oh, I
Speaker 1: could I could school that dude, or I could do it,
Speaker 1: and honestly, they're like, really, the funny part is when
Speaker 1: they're saying it about about the w n b A
Speaker 1: and it's like, do you know what those ladies would
Speaker 1: do to you? Like, do you have any idea videos
Speaker 1: of that exactly of ship talkers who step to w
Speaker 1: NBA players and just get fucking dusted rints, put out
Speaker 1: to dry, folded iron and then put back in the
Speaker 1: fucking drawer. I got a buddy right now that still
Speaker 1: believes it, like since the w an B A storready now,
Speaker 1: and this one was the dude, you know what, he
Speaker 1: may listen to this he was not as good as
Speaker 1: the rest of us, and he swears up and down,
Speaker 1: he swears up and down that he would absolutely destroy them,
Speaker 1: and I just put a life of me. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're not eat six ft. That's his fragile sense of masculinity.
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be a ratings bonanza if they
Speaker 1: if they just scheduled games against people who swore up
Speaker 1: and down, they can just watch those people's humanity just
Speaker 1: be fucking I would love. Oh my god. It's a
Speaker 1: show called Funk Around and find Out and it's like
Speaker 1: pros versus Joe's. But what we do is we put
Speaker 1: people in psy ops basically, right, it's a side op
Speaker 1: against these people being like gas them up. Oh you
Speaker 1: got to repair you up with somebody who ain't ship, bro,
Speaker 1: You're gonna suck them up. And then we're really being like, okay,
Speaker 1: so you're ready to funk with Candice Parker, right you go?
Speaker 1: You ready for this? You sure can? You just can
Speaker 1: you handle this? And then they just get destroyed and
Speaker 1: then come to them and be like, how was that
Speaker 1: sit down, sir? As the game is playing like on
Speaker 1: the Jumbo Troum, they're just playing like all their comments
Speaker 1: from earlier about how yeah they're going to be all
Speaker 1: right right right, you just get posted so easily, and
Speaker 1: then after every point a ship talking thing has to
Speaker 1: go up. Oh I got this in the post drop step. Please, guys,
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I think you guys
Speaker 1: are giving away gold here. Pretty good. It's just but yeah,
Speaker 1: because everyone wants to see a come up and right
Speaker 1: and like it knows nothing better than people who swing
Speaker 1: sway out of their fucking weight class for ship and
Speaker 1: like gas themselves up on stupid ship ignorance and then
Speaker 1: be like, I think you're in need of a real
Speaker 1: practical lesson here. Yeah. Anyway, well, networks got at us. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Jabari has been such a pleasure of having you as
Speaker 1: always where can people find you and follow you? I
Speaker 1: really appreciate you guys having me back. And like I said,
Speaker 1: I hope if this is not a precursor to what
Speaker 1: could what will come on Tuesday. Twitter's easiest place, Jabari Davis.
Speaker 1: NBA UM nineteen media group is the group that I'm
Speaker 1: with UM As Jack was and Miles were both kind
Speaker 1: enough to mention earlier, never meet your heroes as well
Speaker 1: as the NBA baseline pot and you said active social media.
Speaker 1: I do. Actually I got two quick ones for you.
Speaker 1: So Nate Robins said, I'm sure that you guys saw
Speaker 1: you know, the Paul Brothers or maybe you saw the
Speaker 1: Paul brothers, were you know, talking to Miles Garrett, you know,
Speaker 1: talking Bess and going back and forth. Ate Robinson jumped
Speaker 1: into the mix, and you know it was it was
Speaker 1: being you was trying to defend them. Someone's response to
Speaker 1: Nate Robinson was at bashaw Song said, good morning, it's
Speaker 1: been ten months since your fight for anybody just out
Speaker 1: of where date Robinson got knocked out. It's something in
Speaker 1: his fight anyhow. Yeah, I like stuff like that and then. Um.
Speaker 1: The other one was actually by a buddy of mine
Speaker 1: at dad Sham Dad really good guy, uh politician top
Speaker 1: with her at g op Todd. It was, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of running his mouth talking ship to somebody saying
Speaker 1: you know and and and dismissing them saying thanks, how
Speaker 1: many people voted for you to be one, you know,
Speaker 1: the one that makes public policy. And my guy at
Speaker 1: dad Sham Dad reminded him, hey, you ran unopposed, dumb
Speaker 1: ship man. It must be a nice when you can
Speaker 1: just kind of assume you're famous, but also can assume
Speaker 1: nobody like pays any attention to you, so you can
Speaker 1: just make wild ass claims. That's great. Miles, Where can
Speaker 1: people find you? What's the tweet you've been enjoying? Uh?
Speaker 1: Find me Twitter, Instagram at Miles of Gray. Also the
Speaker 1: other show for twenty day Fiance. If you're working with
Speaker 1: a ninety day and weed, I mean, there's no better place,
Speaker 1: no better place to come on down for the fun times. Uh.
Speaker 1: Tweet that I like, let's see first one is just
Speaker 1: from John Levinstein at John Levinstein and tweeted, I can't
Speaker 1: say this hasn't crossed my mind. Uh that a horsty
Speaker 1: warmer might make my poops nicer. Uh. Steve Fernandez, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a regular guest on the show at Big
Speaker 1: Her and tweeted, it's just like this sort of conversation
Speaker 1: that happened on Twitter. He said, should I date someone
Speaker 1: that lives in Irvine? And then Alan Strickland Williams said
Speaker 1: are they er fine? And then someone's like god, damn it, Alan,
Speaker 1: And then someone else was asking like, no, you're married.
Speaker 1: And then Steve said, have you heard of Polly, you know,
Speaker 1: like polyamorous, and another person came in said yeah, and
Speaker 1: I hear she's bad news. It was just like a
Speaker 1: bunch of weird, stupid response and I just for local people.
Speaker 1: I like someone saying Irvine and like, yo, they are fine.
Speaker 1: In line with that, Dan at Flawless Cowboy tweeted shoddy
Speaker 1: bad like morally two Black tweeted rereading is underrated, which
Speaker 1: is just true. Dan Prelman tweeted recently got drunk at
Speaker 1: a wedding and started a fun made up rumor that
