Shout out to at rap bohemian for reviving the zamboni emoji effort it is ongoing i have been harassing the i forget the the scare uh the unicode consortium no offense to the unicode consortium but they're like they're fucking snobs they are they're assholes i remember trying to figure out how

it's made and the even an inquiry is to asking for more information about their process i got the most snarky email back oh there's such little brats over there they're just ugh they're like we will inform the press when we decide to uh to discuss any of like the inner workings like okay fool whatever just make with a burrito emoji they still haven't approved the guillotine emoji either which is like a brilliant idea that i i never would have thought of honestly i feel like the guillotine emoji would actually help set off some kind of global workers revolution yeah sometimes like that's sadly the missing piece is that people had to be like guillotine guillotine guillotine guillotine like i'm

compensating like now i'm starting to see things your way yeah now we're pressing jeff bezos at his at his house interesting well anyway beyond all that jamie i'm thrilled uh as i'm sure you are as well to oh yeah introduce our guest today someone uh who's got a fantastic podcast called my mama told me talking about conspiracy theories uh just a brilliant talented comedian and your former edinburgh uh fringe roommate please welcome the just amazing langston kerman yeah welcome wow i i want a song to introduce myself i don't have one, but goddamn, would that be cool if I came in with some sort of 2000s-esque parody song? Yeah, right? I always ask this. What's your favorite karaoke track?

Oh, The Boy Is Mine is a fun one. That's a nice one. If you can find another person to do that beginning with you, that's great. Where it's like, hey, do you know him? Oh, yeah. I know him. yeah yeah i know him yeah all that shit that's my favorite intro that like for it being a spoken word intro that so many people actually could write down like excuse me can i please talk to you for a minute

uh-huh sure you know you know you kind of look familiar like that whole vibe shout out to anybody who can do the Monica Brandy combo. My favorite part of that is there, if you probably look at the writer's credits for that, there's like eight people who had to chime in to make sure that they got that correct of airing out Makai Pfeiffer for double timing them. Oh, man. I mean. Spoken word intros are so underrated especially for like

karaoke because it eases you into it i can't i can't like do a karaoke song where i'm screaming right away i need to like it needs to be a gentle yeah massage that bad boy just a nice gentle massage into do you do that ultimately is nonsense do you do the subtly warped down the boy is mine repeat at the beginning? The boy is mine, the boy is mine, the boy is, you know what I mean? Oh, I think I do do that if I'm remembering my most. It's been a while since I've done karaoke.

For most of us. There's been a bit of a pickle for the world as far as karaoke is concerned. No, my group, we've been getting together nonstop. You've just got sick though but yeah i think you gotta warp your you gotta do it all do all the the fun that the boy is mine can offer you the other part is you know his name oh yeah definitely i know i know his name motherfucker oh man well see i think you could do some kind of like you need to give it up I know his name. Motherfucker. Oh, man.

Well, see, I think you could do some kind of like, you need to give it up. I'm just going to sing the whole song. I'm trying to how I would create new lyrics. Yeah. I had that CD single, too. Bought that shit at Blockbuster Music. Oh, shit. Blockbuster Music?

Yeah. Did y'all know that? I didn't know Blockbuster did that. Okay, y'all remember Thebuster yeah block so okay y'all remember the warehouse for music i don't remember what was like what in the era of buying physical albums what was like your local thing that wasn't a best buy like dedicated record store uh we had a place called coconuts we had strawberries oh that's yep you get it same energy hell yeah coconuts and strawberries were a uh they were like a sister company that that basically was specialized in selling cds and we did coconuts oh shit so y'all had coconut strawberries i had

the warehouse music plus and then obviously Tower Records. But The Warehouse eventually got consumed by Blockbuster when they were really feeling themselves. And they're like, we'll also sell fucking tapes. Fuck y'all. Good for them. You know, Blockbuster really, they deserve better. They really tried. They did everything right.

And then these mean ass motherfuckers at Netflix were like, now we got a different plan and they just couldn't keep up not on not only that blockbuster had they turned down the opportunity to buy netflix yeah you know that's wrong that's when you that's when that's where it hurts you know like we could have we could have our owned our own destiny rather than a fucking meme where people can do an Airbnb in one of our last stores for a joke. They did try to do what Netflix does for a while after like all their their physical stores shut down. They were doing like blockbuster DVDs in the mail and nobody wanted that shit anymore. We're disloyal bitches. And I see that now.

Yeah. I mean, honestly, I don't feel bad because they never had Street Fighter two on Super Nintendo when I tried to rent it. So fuck y'all. nobody wanted that shit anymore we're disloyal bitches and i see that now yeah i mean honestly i don't feel bad because they never had street fighter 2 on super nintendo when i tried to rent it so fuck y'all wow i thought my best blockbuster experience is you know that movie uh teeth i i took that out by accident and blockbuster and have never had a better and worse experience with an accidental rental oh you didn't you didn't know what it was when you rented it no i thought i don't know what movie i thought it was i thought it was like a different thriller movie and i brought it to my friend's house and we were like

blown away i mean it's still a classic yeah like it's teeth. Yeah. Didn't you do a Bechdel cast? We did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Anyway, let's stop talking about our podcasting.

You know what I mean? I mean, you talk about millions of conspiracy theories abound right now. So I'm sure you have plenty of material for your podcast. I'm having a great time. There's plenty to resource. People are nervous out in the world. The place is crumbling, but we can't go outside. It's fun.

Well, you know what? I'm sure we'll have to use some of those insights to go over a lot of the stories actually today because on some level, conspiracies abound. But today, we're going to talk about how about how parlor apparently they were selling out their users to the feds before january 6th how about that shit snowflakes what else oh okay um there's another thing i want to let people know we talked about echo park and the sweeps and police violence that occurred last week uh when people were trying to you know stand in solidarity with the unhoused in echo park despite the city's promises of doing right by them uh so jamie will uh get an update on you on that on how our city is treating uh the unhoused population and just how fucking backwards that shit is uh we'll also give a ship update on the ever given has

finally been dislodged from the suez canal and we'll just talk about that and of course just how there's maybe some capitalist uh angles shades to that story as well that we might not have been thinking about um and we'll also think of look if you ever wonder what it was like for trump to stumble upon your wedding and you uh bother to give a microphone we'll figure we'll actually we'll find out what that sounds like uh because it happened in real life and that was a mistake for the people that got married yeah and then we're going to talk about vax passports you know how do you know if you've been vaccinated we're going to talk about how most of america is shooketh by cancel culture

and of course we're going to talk about the little nas x montero video because conspiracies abound baby uh what all that means on top of overpriced sneakers of course this story has fucking everything so uh before we do all that langston let us know something about you in the form of your search history what's something you've been searching that oh what you've been oh this is exciting i got jury duty uh uh the the notification the official notification that i was on call for jury duty so i've been uh google searching how to get out of jury duty like the various methods for for escaping jury duty and i think i'm just gonna show up and say that i'm extremely biased against the police and see how that plays in their little ears. I've had to have an evolution around that because, unfortunately, if people like you or I don't do jury, the verdict could get fucked up by the kind of people that do serve on juries.

And there was a reckoning I had to have because i used to be the professional jury duty dodger yeah i'd come in and i would be so contrarian like when they're asking questions that i would just frustrate whoever like i didn't need an excuse i'll be like i'm just gonna intellectually frustrate the like the lawyer so they're like get the fuck out of here and then as i get older and realize the complexions of juries in this country and the verdicts that regularly come out, like I'm like, fuck the thing. Like it is my duty on some level to be there. But also sometimes, like I think about the case, one was like about some tax accountant had a thing with another person. I don't know. Miles, I agree.

It is your duty to be there. I, on the other hand, have no intention on upholding any of my civic responsibilities. I'm going to lie my way out of it and stay at home. I'm out. Yeah. You should, if anything, look, a quick tip for people in L.A., if you can get it at the Burbank court, half the time they'll let you go early. Oh, shit. Because the courtroom's small.

Yeah. Wow. Just for the experts out there yeah okay yeah i got jury duty at the beginning of quarantine and then they had to cancel juries for a little while so i i got out of it oh that was tight that's the way to do it when would your uh when would you have to go in? I don't know. They never... Jamie's still waiting to go in. Just bring Jamie with you and be like, you know, she's actually down to do it. She's actually really cool and would love to do

jury duty. She pledged herself as tribute for this jury summons. But like, did they have lunch oh yeah um did they like what's the date because it was today completely resumed i don't know they said to they said it was today and then they said uh i went online and they said uh you don't have to come in today but you got a call tonight to find out if you uh tomorrow yeah going tomorrow or do you know the whole you get it right but that said uh you know i'm just gonna keep trying to to draft dodge as much as possible i'm gonna blame my shin splints i'm gonna do whatever i can exactly exactly i think the whole the vibe though

in that waiting room is so funny because like it's the whole spectrum we have people who like have time you know what i mean and they've done it they have crossword puzzles books and shit fucking thermos then you have like the young idiots that were like me who like even before smartphones i had like half of a script that i like panic just grabbed out of a pile of things to read and i was like fuck what the fuck am i doing and then there's always somebody stressed the fuck out on their phone who is like having to handle some monumental personal business but they're stuck in this fucking room and they're like look i don't know if yeah oh i i feel like i'm missing an opportunity if i skip out on this but i can't bring myself to,

you know, it's comedy gold. It's got to be of just a bunch of miserable people trapped in a courtroom. That sounds wonderful, but I just can't bring myself to do it. To try and find equity and be effective in a legal system that is completely flawed and upside down. I mean, the whole thing is a farce, but so is this country and we're still participating, right? There we go what is something you think is overrated oh something this is still on me oh okay yeah it's still on me uh you know what i what's been bugging me lately you know what's been been tugging at my shorts is i don't know if that's something people are saying now, but I'd love for it to catch on. Yeah, that's the thing.

I'm not loving. I think it's overrated. These there's this new trend of videos where people you put up a video that someone else made or that you found and then you put your face in front of that video and you make funny faces at the video that's happening. Do you know what I'm referring to? Like on TikTok where you're like sort of green screening yourself yeah and you're like just like giving commentary another person's effort like that why are we doing that art is hard it's it's a challenge to come up with anything and build the confidence to post stuff why are we then being like look at this stupid ass i'm gonna i'm gonna make funny faces and somehow get more followers than this person because of my funny face reactions to their shit.

So what do we need? Like a new form where it's like we're encouraging the bad video making like pause. You see how that was a really bad camera edit. I like that. I actually thought that was best. Look at it. That's all right. Next. You get him next time all right next very kind notes or maybe you got to do something where it's like you go in front of the person who was in front of it and be like i just

don't think that this is a good use of creative energy it seems like they're really profiting off of someone else's work yeah we're just rushing darling the whole thing and i'm sitting in front like hey you're being mean stop what you're doing they tried their best leave them alone until it's like gone so far that you can't even see what you were originally it's all chaos right right right and that's how christopher nolan. Yay, we did it. Yeah, TikTok, man. It's got it all. It's got it all. Do you feel like for, you know, us people who are trying to just create things in like pre sort of TikTok Vine era, like just like trying to, you know, being a creative person.

like trying to, you know, being a creative person, do you see the effect that like TikTok is going to have on future generations, like in terms of being able to like, you know, unlock their own creativity and find a way to express that? Because I think that's the one thing that amazes me about it is you just see that like just the variety in which kids who seemingly are like, yeah, I don't know, I just, this is how I'm communicating

are kind of, you know, creating new art, guess yeah i don't i don't even know that i think we get caught up in these weird traps of of comparing the quality of creativity and i don't actually know that i believe that like we were more creative than these young people who are like fully editing videos and making really complex story and like fucking 30 second clips. On the other hand, I think that that forms of communication are going to shift in a way that like they're not going to know how to write like essays and shit, but they probably can can build something that I can't build. Right. So I just, you know, I have to respect that, like that like oh this is just a difference in communication and and i don't know how to fix it but and i'm i'm too afraid to actually try so i'm just gonna keep doing what i know how to do until i become a weird old guy that everybody boozed on the internet

that is like a thing with tiktok where it's like you, I don't know, the like grouchy part of me is like tempted to be like, well, what the fuck is this? But it's like, but with, you know, I can't do it. So it's like, I can't really talk shit on it if I know I could not do it myself. And they're so good at it. Like they're not, it's not like you go like, well, I can't do it, but it's stupid as fuck. It's like, no, you guys are making some dope shit. It's dope. And stupid. like well i can't do it but it's stupid as fuck it's like no you guys are making some dope shit that like i wish i knew how to do but i papa's ego won't allow it so here we go so i'm like what which which grad program did you go to for that video it truly does but i think you know in a way it makes everything easier like i think in the same way people were talking shit about you know

make when i was making sketch comedy in like 2010 or whatever and like that being the wave of like yo i'm making they're like what these kids with their dslrs just think they can make all this shit you know and that's coming from the people who are coming from more traditional media now like we're like oh these kids can just aim their stuff i used to have i was my i was on final cut seven till my fingers bled and they're the same quality. And that's all it is. It's just like, it's easier now. It's easier for them.

And I think in that way, it's sure. Like we were, we're going to learn. There are different processes we had to go through creatively that they might not have to go through, but that just frees up probably more brain space for them to like, you know, be happy. Yeah. Or, or a different kind of miserable i think that they find they find all that brain space and free time and then they find more things to be sad about that an ignorant young me didn't know existed out in the world right right right man anyway shout out to narco tiktok for whatever reason all that all my videos are narco TikTok. Don't ask why.

What do you think is something that's underrated, Langston? You know, I had a thing, but I think we're going to end up talking about it later. So I'm going to move that. And I'll say that something I'm pretty excited about that not a lot of people talk about is spray on deodorant. I like it. I think it's pretty cool. And as somebody who suffers from from uh

from absinthe who gets the fucking boils under their arm from regular deodorant spray on deodorant it doesn't clog your pores you still smell nice and you get to kill the environment at the same time it's pretty cool all around nine out of ten for me they haven't figured out a way to make it environmentally friendly if are all aerosols some that are now right yeah there are some that are i am not investing in those those probably cost tens to twenties of dollars i'm gonna go with the ones that are damn near free or you get like killing penguins when like at school the like the janitor like the custodial services would spray for bugs like that pump bucket that you have to self pump. And then you can spray like you're like, I can just do it on my own.

But yeah, I could just stand next to Hank and get whatever he's got. Is it like an axe style container? I've avoided axe more. I mean, fair enough. Mostly because of the years and years of people making fun of x if i'm being honest i think x smells pretty good and i'm not sure why everybody hated on it but i will say that yes it's like a degree but you know the just a regular spray can kind of thing yeah it's pretty cool i felt like that was the almost the standard in the late 80s

early night like visually that was being reinforced. And my mind was like, oh, yeah, you spray your deodorant on. I think they go out a lot faster. I think you run out of it a lot faster. And so the stick became more reasonable. It's the purchase. And I think as we then science revealed to us something called the ozone. Yep. There you go that

was another thing people were like okay maybe there's another way to do that i'm here for the me zone baby i'm just trying to get nice and and i tried i tried with the crystals they don't fucking work i'm sorry crystals is bullshit i'm my stink is on another level yeah and i don't know i've never met a crystal that can fucking you know neutralize my shit no i'm sorry i had a friend who told me about the crystals and i i did not understand if the implication was that you're you're holding the crystals under your arm you just have to like tuck in there right but it's more you just keep them in your pockets and they're like stinky crystals and they keep you

from stinking is that the deal clear it up they're rolling on just wet the crystal and apply you know what i mean oh shit yeah this is look this was some shit i remember seeing in my because my dad stunk and he tried everything and then at the time this is like in the early 90s we're like yo crystal you know he's an artist so some other motherfuckers around him was like have you fucked with crystals and then them shits just it it made no sense like he would read a wet like a rock and like rub it on his arm and he's still stumped i tried that shit later on in life because i wasn't trying to put all that like chemical shit on me but i it was either that or just fucking smell fucked up yeah so what are you going to do?

You know, and hey, Zyte Gang, if you know a crystal that's fucking powerful enough to do battle with me, then let me know. Let me ask, why was your dad so stinky? Why did he stink so bad? You know how people, I don't know. I'm like one of these people. If I don't wear deodorant immediately out of the shower and I'm like, if I watch a sports game I'm invested in, my sweat, I smell awful. Like, I don't know what the fuck it is. That's fair.

I just whatever my body. That's what our bodies are doing. I'm a sweater. I get that. I like if I start sweating, it's some bats coming out. So I get no fight out of me. Right. Exactly. I still am fight out of me. Right. Exactly.

I still am stuck on Axe body spray. I feel like maybe there there is like maybe they did get it too rough back in the day. I think so. Wow. Guy Fieri style almost. Yeah. And then he had kind of a redemption arc. Maybe that'll happen for Axe body spray.

Yeah. You want to believe that Axe has been been giving bottles to orphans this whole time. Right. You find, oh, Axe Body Spray is the humanitarian's deal. Yeah. Yeah, for every body spray purchased. We send one to a body in need. It's like the Tom's Shoes of seventh-grader deodorant.

Just making little African kids smell like uh muscle beach yeah i love that i guess i mean it smells like swag in here all right we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back with some news i've been thinking about you I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.

One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?

You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.

I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away.

Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these, we have, we thank Latin culture.

Let's dive right on in parlor is back in the news you know the right wing chat app that was marketing itself to everyone was like oh you know google and facebook and twitter all scared and shit because they won't let you say just violent racist shit because they're terms of service why don't you come to the real world over on parlor where you can do you can incite a violent insurrection openly on the app

and we won't do anything about it because freedom well apparently that's not what happened here last week the heads of google facebook twitter they all had to appear in like a congressional oversight hearing on like just all things social media. Like what's the effect on children? What are you doing about Spanish language misinformation? Like these are like what section 230, like what, what are your thoughts on all this stuff? And while that was happening, Parler was also under the microscope because they were like trying to, you know, Congress, like looking into their finances, their business structure, et cetera. So they had to write a response basically. And this is just one of the lines that caused a lot of stir aside from them being like the overall being like, well, what about Twitter? They let them say hang my pants is a trending topic. They're doing hate speech there, too.

here quote the company this is them defending themselves has acted to remove incitement and threats of violence from its platform and old um and did so numerous times in the days before the unlawful rioting at the capitol as parlor group substantially in the latter half of 2020 the company took the extraordinary initiative to develop formal lines of communication with the federal bureau of investigation to facilitate proactive cooperation and referrals of violent threats and incitement to law enforcement so they said even before january 6th they're like you might want to check this dude out yeah hey hey this freedom of speech is getting out of control i don't like so i mean there was a which was so wild that they first of all they posted this on like this response on their like facebook company page and obviously the comment section fucking just was a meltdown

dude people were so pissed off because they were told like what the fuck i thought i can just say racism here and it was all good and be violent so they were they were being accused of colluding with the feds nice and then suddenly all these motherfuckers must have been right in the writer's room for the wire or some shit because now they're like you know snitches get stitches i'm like oh y'all are street people now you know oh you live by this code now snitches get that okay sure and then there are all kinds of other things like they failed us this is bullshit they're they're aligned with the liberal takeover of like you know all that shit so i i love this oh yeah i think this is great i think that i've been watching that q anon uh hbo documentary uh yeah and it's one of

the more fascinating elements of it is just how terrified everybody becomes when they finally see what freedom of speech actually looks like like completely like unchained untethered to any version of like morality and it never turns out well for anybody and i'm glad that they're learning this lesson and more importantly i'm glad that they're discovering that the white overseers are never going to not snitch on you when it comes to their own well-being. It's great. And money, you know what I mean? Because they're not going to run afoul of capitalism, right? Because the whole rub of their game is we will give you our user data for ad bucks.

They're trying to be an alternative to Twitter. They're not. This isn't, you know what I mean, a groundswell. This isn't some secret organization. They're not this isn't you know what i mean a groundswell this isn't some secret organization they're not the black panthers these motherfuckers are selling the fuck out right it's so like i'm glad i'm glad i was i mean as much as i hate to see parlor ever come up this this story is it pleases me i like it yeah they're like it's especially i mean even starting with like the kind of disingenuous like, well, what about Twitter?

It's like, I don't know who is defending Twitter as like an amazing tool that actually gets shit done. Like, I think it's just it's just been around longer. And so it's like, oh, no, we've known that Twitter doesn't accomplish anything for like 15 years. Like no one who is making that argument. Right. for like 15 years like no one who is making that argument right the the backlash got so bad on their statement where they revealed you know they've been they've been steady calling jake

on everybody but in this version they said oh fuck it we need to put another statement out to just fucking put the fires out and in this one it's amazing because they're essentially letting their first amendment fans know what the fuck the First Amendment actually is. So then Parler comes out with this and you're like, OK, so quote is from the Parler Post. Some users have raised questions about the practice of referring violent or inciting content to law enforcement. The First Amendment does not protect violence, inciting speech, nor the planning of violent acts. Such content violates Pararlers' terms of service. Any violent content shared with law enforcement was posted publicly and brought to our attention primarily via user reporting.

And as it is posted publicly, it can properly be referred to law enforcement by anyone. Some of y'all didn't know we were cops. And as you can clearly see in our user agreement we cops we've been cops this whole time right and we find print the thing was we were just baiting y'all in with this uh we put free speech in air quotes on our marquee yeah but the the problem is y'all don't actually know what that means. So when you find out now you're mad about it. But also you sick fucks don't you don't know what it means. And you sick fucks are just constantly testing what it actually is to be free. And so and thus you're hurting each other or at least threatening to hurt each other.

And somebody needs to police that. And it's exciting. I love that it's happening to them. I wonder what the what new definition they're gonna have to come up with if they keep like god that's what the constitution says well that's what's scary is and that's that's essentially what uh january 6th was the beginning of is we're about to move into a place where like now they're going to argue with against the constitution right like now that's going to be the the work of you know everybody on the internet is being like well maybe the the

founders were incorrect and black people are just going to have to stay here like oh boy this isn't how we thought it would play out but go ahead and finish your thought we'll see what happens this is the response huh to some to people gaining a little bit of traction hmm yeah just a little bit not even full-on liberation it's like they're fucking actually paying out reparations or some shit well they are in evanston did you see that right yeah giving people reparations in evanston illinois oh yeah really yeah but it's not a lot and it's not gonna go well i can i can tell you firsthand it's not a lot and it's not going to go well. I can I can tell you firsthand this is not landing the way it's supposed to.

Even the aid that was given out to black farmers recently caused a huge uproar. When, like you saw, the Trump administration gave a fraction of it to black farmers while all this all those farming subsidies at the heartland all that shit missed a ton of black farmers and beyond that i mean the amount of farmland that black farmers used to account for prior to like you know i would say the 30s or 40s it was significant announced down to a fraction of what it used to be so look i mean there's inequity all around us look for it but but you know what? Parlor fans keep going. I mean, who knows?

You might accidentally start getting radical with it and realizing we're all under the same chains. But but until then, keep fighting the ghosts of brown people that you want to blame everything for. Yeah. OK, let's talk a little bit about Echo Park, the sweeps and services policies of the city, which is absolutely ridiculous. Yeah. We touched on it on Friday in the trending episode. But, Jamie, yeah, you were there. And just from your perspective, I just wanted to kind of run down this situation because I have a feeling if you are in a town with any kind of significant unhoused population, something like this may be happening. Yeah. So I was reporting on this story on last Wednesday night for Knock LA. And then Thursday, I was just there on the outskirts of what was going on. But it's terrifying

for a number of reasons. But I do feel like ultimately it's the precedent that's being set here could have a lot of negative fallout for other unhoused populations. So I don't know exactly what was gone over in trending, but essentially what was going on was Echo Park Lake, which is like a few streets over from where I live. a few streets over from where I live. Over the past year, there has been an unhoused population that has really built some community and has been thriving down there. There was around 120 people at its peak. And the reason that that was able to happen was because when COVID hit, a lot of these really brutal city sweeps that are presented to people by city counselors and by all these other city officials as we're cleaning and beautifying the city when they're displacing people and offering no alternative. But that wasn't able to happen over the last year. And so there was like an opportunity in this community to to build, you know, they had a community garden. There was like a jobs program. It wasn't perfect, but it was like an actual functioning, let's, you know, let's get back to it and let's start

displacing unhoused people again. So there was this gigantic sweep planned for last Thursday that was essentially our city councilor, Mitchell Farrell, was planning to build a fence around the entire park, close it for several weeks, and then reopen it with all this like hostile architecture and basically making it like impossible and illegal for unhoused people to come back to the park. And so there was a there was like a rally on Wednesday morning where a couple hundred people showed up. And I think that the city kind of became aware, oh, this is getting a lot of attention. We better push this sweep through overnight instead of waiting until the next day and uh so wednesday when when i was um reporting there there was a uh gathering of about a few hundred people at the lake to you know try to peacefully prevent the fence from going up uh 400 cops and six choppers showed up at the scene. And just I mean, there was there

was more than one cop to a person. It was and I was listening to helicopter audio going on. There were people coming as far as San Pedro, which is like 25 miles away. Cops that don't even know the area were sent in to ensure that this fence was going to go up. So on Wednesday, it was confrontation that was scary but did not grow extremely violent, although a reporter's arm was broken, someone's leg was hurt, there was an arrest. And it basically played out as 400 cops being brought in to intimidate protesters and house people and stall for long enough for this fence to get up. So once the fence arrived and started being built up, the cops let everybody leave. And by Thursday morning, the fence had gone around the entire park.

Unhoused people were allowed to stay there for one last night. People were allowed to stay there for one last night. But essentially, if you went to bed in a tent in Echo Park Lake on Wednesday night, you woke up in an open air jail because you could not leave. Just fenced in, right? Completely fenced in. No one can go in. No one can go out. No access to anything. And it was extremely hard for activists to figure out what was going on. And so the city councilor, Mitchell Farrell, who is just like, ugh, said that he was going to rehouse everyone at Echo Park Lake. So, you know, shut up and don't worry about it. So on Thursday, there was a lot of pressure put on people who were still living at the lake uh to accept

services uh there's a lot of issues with these services uh you know some people like them others don't but there's like no real i don't know something that always frustrates me is there's no real like general understanding uh among like housed people of why an unhoused person would resist a service. But there's so many reasons why that would be the case. There is like in many cases, if you are given a hotel room to live in, it's very far from everybody, you know, sometimes it's only for a week. If you're sent to a shelter, there is like a high amount of reporting, especially among women, of being assaulted in shelters. And so there's just all these situations where people sometimes prefer they feel that they're safer living in the park or like living among a community that can protect them instead of kind of being thrown into a situation that may be safe.

But also there's it's very likely that it may not be uh so thursday um there was a vigil planned in front of the city counselor's office on sunset so very much like in the public like vegans dining alfresco the whole fucking thing it's sage yeah it's literally a sage and so that night uh there i was there at the beginning i was there like 5 to 7 30 and already there were cops surrounding the entire area you had to like pass a cop to even attend the vigil it was very uh it was just a lot, a lot of city resources. And, and you, even when you're going to this gathering, you're like, oh, this is not going to end well. Like it just was really clear. Especially when the cops shut down Sunset

preemptively and you're like, I'm sorry, why is the whole street shut down already? And it's so much, it was like a stretch of five blocks and it extended a lot of different ways so that no one could access the lake and like it was just it was i mean it's like you you know with the lapd there you know nothing is like too evil for them but it was just so such a steep escalation and by i think around eight o'clock they had started kettling people again basically the second the sun went down it started there there were uh eventually 182 people were arrested and taken away in fucking lapd school buses uh who were just standing there there was like a city count the city councilor o'farrell like like, released something saying, like, they had flashlights. Like, they, like, just, like, all this weird gaslight-y language to be like, actually, guys, maybe if you hadn't brought your little flashlights, I wouldn't have had to arrest 200 people.

To break your arms. Yeah, yeah. I mean, people were hurt. They were shooting less lethal rounds. less lethal rounds uh like and and i think something that is like especially scary is that 13 members of the press were arrested that night too and like press members that were clearly identified uh were arrested intentionally they took that white lady from spectrum one news they took the blonde lady too they took everybody They took the blonde woman for just reporting on this? I'm like, they're...

And I'll say this. That sounds like progress to me. But go on. Tell more. Equal opportunity arrests. Thank you, LAPD. Defending the landowning class yet again. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of what it boils down to.

Is that it's... I mean, it's still like a story that is ongoing. But a bunch of press were arrested. Almost 200 people were arrested. And then the next day, the city council or amongst other people just kind of were issuing statements that were like, I don't know why everyone was so upset. We rehoused everyone when, in fact, that was not true so it was just a a heap of bullshit uh happening very much out in the open uh and there's been i mean it's like there there has been some public discussion about it but it kind of in terms of like national stuff kind of flew under the radar um right but that was what was going on last week i mean yeah i mean police brutality is so normal in la now so yeah it's like oh they're at it again huh cool this time but yeah

but i think that's what we see that that's the the police will be deployed whenever there's too many people standing on the right side of something that's how you know it's like oh people oh people want to protest the just unfettered violence against unarmed people of color in the country. Call them all up. You're standing in solidarity with unhoused people who are being treated like absolute subhumans. Then guess who's getting brutalized? The people who are standing with them. So, but anyway, yeah.

Thanks for letting us know a little bit more about that. Because I think a lot of us just saw what's happening on Twitter. It was like, what the fuck is this? It was really confusing. Yeah. And it's like it was a confusing story to follow for people that didn't like, I don't know. Like, I don't know what I would have thought if I was just watching on Twitter. But it was definitely I don't know. that it's going to set a precedent for future sweeps like that to just have just a gigantic police presence and threatening anyone who wants to stand with the in-house community.

And with that overtime, I mean, God, I'm sure it's worth the money, too, rather than pouring that overtime in back into the fucking like whatever, you know, that's like the irony of it, because I saw that one photo where someone did the math of like and then on their calculator being like, that's how much dollars this is costing right now. Oh, yeah. It costs three quarters of a million dollars to police two peaceful protests. To brutalize some unhoused people. To move 120 people from a place where they weren't bothering other people. It's pretty crazy. Yeah. Yeah. people it's pretty crazy yeah yeah anyway well let's uh move on to another group of people that are probably confused um that is two prominent trump supporters that um had their wedding at

mar-a-lago so i guess when you when you actually spend enough and you do the full platinum white supremacy package you can get married at mar-a-lago as a donor. So they got their wedding. And then during the reception, they said, hey, Donald Trump, do you want to give a quick toast to everyone? Which, by the way, shame on them for thinking that that was like,

that's not his thing. He ain't known for his toast. What the fuck would you call him to come do a toast for? So, look, I'm just going to, this clip is so long, I'm just going to jump through random parts so you can see how long this motherfucker's talking before there's even anything resembling a toast. Does he know these people? Like, does he know them personally? Well, in the sense that they are very, I guess, very prominent donors. So in that sense, you may have seen them because like in terms of your donor relationship or who knows?

I mean, whatever. He's probably done one of those like lines where you shake everybody's hands because they are valuable in your world. But no, I don't. Right. Right. Right. Them. But yeah, if they saw my street, they get the fuck away from me the fuck is that um so let's uh listen to this speech of donald trump who loves hearing his own voice ruin someone's no fuck them i don't give a fuck about their wedding

anyway let's listen to a lonely man fight get a microphone in his hand the news i get all these flash reports and they're telling me about the border. They're telling me about China. They're telling me about Iran. How are we doing with Iran? He just started a fucking wedding toast by evoking China, Iran, and the border. But they started laughing. So my boy's about to go into different bits. Yeah.

Oh, so he's saying. He's killing. He's like, yo, all right. The opener hit's about to go into different bits. Yeah. Oh, so he's saying. He's killing. He's like, yo, all right, the opener hit. Let's go. All right. No adjustments needed. Say less. Here he goes.

Let's go skip another 30 seconds ahead. I don't know what he's talking about now. A few days ago was terrible. And the border's not good. The border's the worst anybody's ever seen it. And what you see now, multiply it times 10, Jim. You would know how to handle it. He's the only one I know that might handle the border tougher than me.

We have to. Okay, let's get another 30 seconds ahead. This is activating my fight or flight. And it's going to be, it's just, look, it's a disaster. It's a humanitarian disaster. Still talking about the border. And it's going to destroy the country. Okay, another 30 seconds.

They said, get 66 million votes, sir. We are two minutes in. He's talking about the fucking election. I love it. I love it. I love that. Good for him. 66 minute. What the fuck is he?

What? He's like, nah, y'all gave me a microphone. Nobody else will give me a microphone anymore. Nobody wants me to talk anywhere. So you dumb bitches are going to hear what I think about the votes that I got that should have been counted differently. Okay, let's go on. I think this is his ender. Why are they closing up certain places? A lot of things happening right now.

I just want to say, it's an honor to be here. It's an honor to have you at Mar-a-Lago. You are a great and beautiful couple. Thank you. I liked it. I thought it was pretty nice also my man couldn't even say their names you don't know them i know but i mean like all of that all of that and he couldn't even somebody been like it's nicole and john whatever the fuck their name is he's just like i mean that was karma wise that is that is beautiful and i like that he closed that by being like well there's all there's one thing we can agree on this is a sexy couple all right thank you and i'm out i'm surprised he's i mean look that's what happens when do you

have a this motherfucker lost his twitter so keep doing that i mean shout out to all the i'm sure i hope this just sets off a wave of trump uh just like stumbling into a place that has a microphone he's like hey is this thing on gonna talk a little bit there's no reason for a former wet a former president to give a toast at your wedding other than to talk about shit that a former president wants to talk about like i'm not letting i don't give a fuck who the president is i'm not letting them come and ruin my wedding with their thoughts fuck no unless it's like your fucking uncle you know i mean like unless you're literally related to me and you happen to be this politician but even i'm never like i didn't let my uncle talk at my wedding because i know what that nigga's gonna say and it ain't helpful to to my marriage and the well-being of our family as a whole no i'm good i don't know guys i'm gonna i'm

gonna let george w bush paint at my wedding i'm gonna let him do a portrait of the happy couple he does a vibe painting at the reception he's like i'm just gonna kind of go off what the energy i'm feeling then it'll maybe abstract and i'll gift that to you at the end like like a really dope art show it's just really sad but like yeah i don't know all right let's take a quick break we'll process that and we'll be right back to talk some cancel culture and other stuff all right after this i've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.

I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in the prints. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch.

As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies.

Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

and we're back and just a couple things i want to touch on uh first on is the vaccination passports are coming uh how are we going to verify who's vaccinated i think that's really important and i think it's something the white house itself knows because according to a slide from their own presentation to itself they quote, a chaotic and ineffective vaccine credential approach could hamper our pandemic response by undercutting health safety measures, slowing economic recovery and undermining public trust and confidence. No, that's true. And then do they say that said we are doing it? Well, here's the thing. They have to write like, I don't know how you're going to begin to have these protocols in place, but this is where it gets so messy right now

the white house has identified there are 17 different initiatives taking place around this very idea so you got a lot of people pulling in multiple directions right now on how to best verify if someone's been vaccinated because obviously like for a workplace that has a lot of people there you that's like a peace of mind. You want to be able to give someone. But but also knowing like the iniquities and how the rollout has happened, like you can just already see how this thing could get all fucked up down the road right now. Like, I mean, you have a group of anti-vaxxer people who are without a doubt probably just going to start saying like, oh, I need this badge or else I can't be a human. And the chaos that's going to cause not only what about fake ass vaccine vaccine passports?

That's another thing. I just think this introduces a very slippery slope of allowing the government to decide all the things that we have to have done or should be doing to our bodies before we're allowed to be out in the the pub in public spaces and like i'm not an anti-vaxxer at all i got one shot in and papa really wants that second one but like it's it's not yeah it just seems like a really unfair fucked up idea to be like yo you a person who didn't have the resources to get a thing is now being excluded from you know literally participating in the world yeah yeah yeah it's yeah it's so hard to figure like because it's it's i i understand why this

like sort of thing would be an effort. But it's also yeah, like you just know this like reeks of something that is going to result in people who don't deserve it being like held out from from other stuff. And to your point, I don't think that it's going to happen around COVID. I think that that if I'm being honest, I think COVID is not going to be the problem. Right. Like a lot of people, most people, for the most part, I guess, want the vaccine. And those who don't are besides the really crazy outspoken people are doing it with like a level of reason and quiet. You know what I mean? Like I know people were like, you know, I'm not opposed to getting vaccinated, but I'm going to wait until it's not in the hands of the silliest people in the world and figure out what it actually is doing to our bodies, whatever, whatever.

That said, the next round of things that we are meant to get injected with is going to be where the debate really kicks in about like these passports and and our look what happened. Yeah. Look what happened. Yeah. Look what happened then. Y'all fuck this up. Exactly. I don't think there's a way to do this well, no matter what.

Yeah. Like you're fucked because you're introducing it in a world where misinformation is moving around so freely and not being challenged enough or being moderated or understood that it's just not gonna like it's it's just a lose it's lose lose and i get why we need like the logic of it to be able to be like nope that's a group that's at risk or could potentially put people at risk so we need to focus on them but yeah i don't know what to do and a lot of it they're saying uh Luntz, who's a huge conservative pollster, noticed that a lot of conservatives seem to be motivated by this as a way to get the shot. Like they thought, well, if it helps me get back to normal because I damn sure want to get on my cruise ship. I damn sure want to get on an airplane. Well, fuck, you twisted my arm.

If I got to get it now to get this badge, then fuck you twisted my arm if i gotta get it now then to get this badge then i'll fucking do it so interesting but then even then you had a lot of people on like in these polling groups being like there are people who were just as not necessarily numerically but there was the intensity on the other side saying well then i'll fucking change my travel plans fuck that yeah i mean i think the dangerous part of all of this is that the people who who are going to be able to opt in and opt out, these resources will always remain available to them and they can make that choice on their own. Whereas there's a lot of people in this country who don't have the ability to just opt in and opt out. opt in and opt out and even when they do opting in comes with an insane insanely larger risk and fear and level of like insecurity that just won't go addressed in creating a fucking passport that like clears me to be able to work or be out right and travel whatever the fuck i could just see the

fraud passport market just exploding and i hope it does you know what i mean honestly i hope it does i hope like go crazy fuck it you know what i mean like all of this is nonsense if we're telling people that like you know the government has to to give you a mandated injection for you to be able to go and function in the world go let's make a business out of it fuck it go let's make a business out of it fuck it well i'm trying to think too like just with the idea that such a fraudulent market can emerge it's also just kind of funny to think that you could you know we can create 300 million dollar gifts that no one can fucking front like they have the that version of it but like in through nfts and we're still like i don't but yeah man like it'll be really easy to fake one of these vaccination pass digital passports

and i'm sure it will be like it's so it's it's like i you know i want i want everyone to get vaccinated i want you know the the herd immunity but it's also like with with cases like this it's like i can't it's i don't have the brain power or like knowledge base to be like well what about like what is a better solution i don't know like it's i just i mean the best solution would be that first this is all part and parcel of humanity's distrust in the state the state you know the government and like a totally understandable mistress right yeah and fucked and they exacerbate it by putting people through a pandemic in which they are not going to support people and finger wag and put people in really awful situations in which it's being reflected

to them that the government actually does not care about them so then to then think that when they come through with these other initiatives that that it's in the best interest, you're already running at a deficit of trust with a lot of people. You know what I mean? Like if they, if they did this differently and maybe paid people to stay home and said, Hey, we're going to get through this. We all, we all got each other's backs. Like a vaccine is going to come and we'll all be able to keep ourselves safe, but don't put yourself at risk. Here are the checks. We talked to the banks.

to keep ourselves safe but don't put yourself at risk hear the checks we talk to the banks don't worry about your rent because they've talked to the land loan landowners who are worried about their more we're gonna we thought we sorted that shit out we stopped the suck of revenue momentarily so we can get our shit together as humans but since that didn't happen everything has this tinge of like greed and you know know, lack of trust. Yeah, there's never any effort to to to show why we should trust the decisions that they're making. It's just this want for blind trust from a bunch of people who historically in every direction, black, white, every color has experienced some version of like inequity from the way that the government handles shit like this. And it's like, no, I'm not I'm not going to voluntarily or at least eagerly volunteer for your experimental, you know, new new thing. I'm not going to be happy about it and go blindly into that night. blindly into that night right yeah because then we're just yeah on top of that all the misinformation that keeps people like that allows so many thoughts to be held simultaneously by people it just like puts like it's hard to break inertia yeah this kind of story breaks my brain i'm just like i don't know what the right thing to do it here and also it like there couldn't be

more like validity to being angry and mistrustful of the government, like on this topic specifically. Yeah. Yeah. Couldn't have fucked it up worse. It's like, yeah, it's like you like in a relationship, they cheat all the time. And then they're like, hey, but like, will you loan me like 600 bucks so I can kind of get my DJ career started? And I promise I'm going to pay you back and it's going to be good for us. And you're like, I'm looking back at our history and this feels like shit actually. And you know, and you did nothing to try and

regain my trust, which is I think the biggest thing too, is like when they start holding up the stimulus checks and not giving people $15 minimum wage hikes, like those are all little things that contribute to this idea that the people who are running shit are, do they actually know what is happening here? Like what, what it means to live at this, this level. So all that to say, um, our next headline is just really interesting. 64% of Americans are afraid that cancel culture is a threat to their freedom. I just, I just, sorry. sorry sorry i just pivoted off that

and i just had to dish but there's a new post 64 is a is a they said responsible there's quote a growing cancel culture is a threat to their freedom 36 did not view it as a threat to their freedom um they the miriam webster's definition of cancel culture the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure i don't know what to say to anybody anymore i just i'm like people always manage to have their like eye on the wrong ball like i just i don't know well yeah look if we're if we're arguing about cancel culture how are we going to talk about unhoused people if we're arguing about cancel culture how are we going to have real good faith you know

discussions about policing and you know the the state of you know carceral technologies that are being applied if we're talking about cancel culture we don't have to talk about why we're dragging our feet debating what's a hate crime what's not a hate crime who gets hate crime to who doesn't you know like it's it's i just i just think we got to take the internet away i think this should be the last daily zeitgeist i think all right that's it yeah we don't get the internet anymore i think everybody just needs their internet taken away because this is silly like most people aren't even successful enough to have their world canceled and for 60 you know what i mean for 64 of them to be like

well they're gonna take my trailer home away from me and it's like bro nobody's coming for you nobody gives a fuck about most things that are happening and most cancellations happen because people just speak out of turn on some shit that like truly had nothing to do with them yeah i mean i think there's something to saying like we need nuance around what we're talking about because i think most people look at it as people just get mad at what you say and then your life is ruined rather than if you have some dated ignorant perspectives that if you're getting called out you need to actually like that's a moment for evolution growth that whatever the fuck is happening because it i think most people just think like it ends there you're canceled and then you're just a tumbleweed blowing around and then you're like life is over i mean it's so

that definition is like interesting to me because it does like i don't know i feel like the phrase cancel culture is like casting too wide of a net too because there's so many different versions of it where it's like sometimes it truly is just like extreme trolling sometimes it is like more of an accountability discussion and then sometimes i think like people people use this term in both like genuine and extremely disingenuine ways that it's like I feel it is not. I don't know how people have like one conversation about cancel culture because it's so many there's it's so case to case in in my head of like there's some that you're like, oh, well, this was like clearly like not the way to go about this. And then there's other times where it's like people refusing to take accountability claiming their life is ruined which is also like

it's just so case to case like sharon osborne yes i've been canceled she she loves her job because she stood up for pierce morgan not standing up for him that wasn't the issue it was your personality in standing up for him that That wasn't the issue. It was your personality in standing up for him. That isn't cancel culture. That's just motherfuckers don't like you, Sharon. Like you ain't sitting right in their spirit. And that's a choice that they're making after that. Right.

Oof. Well, you know, prayers up for the ignorant that they can wake the fuck up. You know, let's move on uh someone who's that they're trying to cancel but i don't know how you can cancel somebody who took a stripper pole straight to fucking hell already uh lil nas x the new video montero call me by your name is you got five million views first 24 hours song is fucking really good and it has a lot like to anybody watching this I think you might not take

it very literally and you can see if you listen to what the lyrics are you might find a little more nuance than this guy's fucking the snake in the Garden of Eden and then was grinding on Satan like it was Magic City what the fuck is this are we headed for another grinding on Satan like it was Magic City. What the fuck is this? Are we headed

for another satanic panic? I was like, what is going on? I thought we were over it. I thought we had done this. No, because QAnon is keeping that shit alive though of the darkness, the energies. You know what I mean? Like, oh, you want us to cover our mouths from Satan? You know, people were saying that shit at those

hearings. So with this, right? If you look at it you know this is not a a satan's recruitment tape okay this is uh as many people say blatantly alo blatantly autobiographical autobiographical allegory thank you jm for writing that out um and you know like as there was even a press release that was letting people know, like to walk idiots through what the imagery was about that said the ending is supposed to represent quote dismantling the throne of judgment and punishment that has kept many of us from embracing our true selves out of fear. Lil Nas X is gay. He he came out and he's, you know, a lot of people felt some type of way about that. Most people are like, yeah, OK, do you welcome Lil Nas X? Thank you for all your creative contributions.

But this is just one of those things like now cue the backlash. Right. That because a lot of thing was talking about how he was dating a closeted man um was sort of like the inspiration for the track too and my goodness the the people that are coming for him it's truly it is not some satanic panic shit this pastor greg lock who went viral he doesn't even he admitted he didn't know who lil nas x was and then his racist ass still had to call him a thug like okay just show you like it's inbuilt it's like muscle memory it's like black i just i i don't understand how trolling still works in in 2021 do you know what i mean like lil nas x very talented young man i'm i enjoy his music he's obviously trolling like this is that's 100 the intention of this song of video. The whole thing is just a motherfucker making fun of the fact that y'all were like, you know, the Internet was like, I think he's just pretending to be gay for attention. He's like, all right, I'm going to pussy pop on the fucking devil and then make you look at that.

And it's like and somehow people are still like, I can't believe he would do it. It's like he's a he's a silly Billy. Of course, he believe you would do it. It's like he's he's a silly Billy. Of course, he's going to do it. You're playing right into his hand. He knows you can just look if WAP did all that. Imagine what a gay black man taking a stripper pole to hell and working Satan out like he's got hundreds spilling out of his pockets. Yeah, that that is going to get some kind of reaction. He doesn't go to get so much. Yeah. Yeah. And he's like, spilling out of his pockets yeah that that is gonna get some kind of reaction like it goes against so much yeah yeah and he's like whatever i know i know and

he's also he's like i know that i'm looking at the matrix motherfucker thank you for the views thank you for putting my name up i'm trending and most most of the time uh it doesn't really it's not gonna affect me in any other way because look he's had to deal with homophobia since since the jump so it's not right he's not tripping off this he's like i'm not frank ocean i'm not about to make like classic you know impossibly classic music so i'm just gonna make sure you guys have a different reason to talk about me and it's working yeah and he's like it's a fucking incredible video like it's the level of the production value on this music video. Holy shit. The way he takes the pole to hell is my favorite shit.

It's so good. It's not the most reasonable way to go down a pole. I'll say that. No, no, not at all. But the different moves as he descends, I was like, this shit is so funny. This is perfect. But again, this is the other part though. Then there was a sneaker that came out the satan shoes uh where they were air max 97s that were modded by this

streetwear company called mischief um they collabed and they're also in the soul there is human blood i love that goofy yeah yeah exactly again this is a silly silly man who's doing a silly thing and i'll say this when they everybody reacted the way that little nas x knew that they would react and then they put out which which i think uh made me more excited than anything the chick-fil-a alternatives right to those sneakers john 316 yeah and my pleasure written my pleasure right and those are even better i actually would wear the shit out of those chick-fil-a shoes this company they were the same ones that did the like holy water 97s right if you remember there was a jesus Air Max that came.

So this is just part like they know what to do. That's their game. And those should sell that sold out. They're called mischief. Right. What are we doing? What could they be up to? What could they be up to?

Who are we arguing with? The best are people like, you know, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. She was she's really sounding like someone's grandparent because you know i think it was a tweet he put out saying like these are an exclusive with mischief and like little nas x's tweet and she's like uh i'll tell you the real exclusive uh your god-given eternal soul which is which is jm points out it's kind of like when your parents are like oh the, the real PlayStation is nature. Okay. Yeah, alright,

fool. The original PlayStation? Yeah, I guess. Thanks, thanks. That's the real, that's the real one. Sometimes I'm just, like, when stories like this, like, they, I mean, it's, like, good for Lil Nas X, like, I have no objection to him, like, getting a ton of attention, but it's,

this and, like, the cancel culture story i'm like can you just take a nap can you like get a library card like yes take the internet away from us we don't know how to handle it it's clearly not built for our brains then we should we should do something else i mean look this but this is the this is the beauty of this shit though too for certain you know political ideologies. You can get focused on such a superficial thing to avoid putting the energy and focus into actual problem solving. You know what I mean? Like that's all like the same thing with Democrats. I'm like, I can't believe that Lauren Boebert, man, fuck that.

Right. Start putting your fucking head down and figuring out what the fuck you're gonna do to make shit better for people because all this shit just it you're able to put something on the docket that delays the the real work that has to be done and you know every every party's guilty of it because we're too entrenched in this system the other thing i just want to say little nas x absolutely knows what he's doing he posted a fucking apology video on youtube like a little bit after that abruptly cuts into the music video so he knows what the fuck he's doing and i think it's genius like and the other thing jam points out that the blood in the shoot thing nothing new kiss did that in 1977 with their marvel comic and look how it's look how well it turned out for james simmons that guy's doing great

nothing to complain about he has too much money so we'll see what happens uh so you know little nas x uh mr montero keep doing what you got to do it's it's so easy it's so easy when people act out like that you might as well do something with it well they just hate seeing black people feel like happy or doing anything that isn't like, you know, it immediately just black women in their bodies. Oh,

he thinks he can be so gay. He could just take that pole straight down the bezel. Yeah. I would say it was gay this time, but I think the principle is still the, the issue. It's like black, gay,

anybody who isn't sitting right in uh in the original concoction of what america stands for is gonna get that energy when it when the time is right i mean yeah add marginalized group with video showing unabashed happiness and pride within who they are and who their community is and somebody's gonna get mad they're like oh my god these these people got together and they're celebrating oh this is this this is this is just anathema christian fuck out of here anyway so yeah do y'all uh langston thanks so much for coming by the show what a pleasure it's always a pleasure to have you yeah where can people find you follow you listen to you and what's a tweet

It's called My Mama Told Me. We talk about conspiracy theories and specifically ones that come out of the black community. And it's very exciting and problematic and i hope that we get canceled soon there you go unfortunately people like it so maybe not but we'll see maybe um and what's the treat that you like oh like a like a delicious treat or just a spiritual treat a tweet oh tweet a work of social media if you don't oh i thought i was saying uh social media treat what's a snack you enjoy that works that works well for social media what's a social media if you don't oh i thought i was saying uh social media treat what's a snack you enjoy that works that works well for social media what's a social media treat oh man oh

there's this there's a very funny uh compilation that got put up uh by a person i don't know but her name is jesse davin uh jesse the buckeye is her at. And it's a compilation called Wrestling is So Horny OMG. And it's just a bunch of wrestlers saying arguably the most homoerotic things to each other, but like real mean and out of context. It's insane. I'm going to fool you like you've never been fooled. There's one where a dude is like, he is like, you know how big I am, but when you get a hold of me, I'm going to get bigger and bigger in your hands. And it's like, yo, whoa, this is great. How could anything get bigger?

I don't know, except for your erect penis. But he meant it differently, I think. Wrestling is horny. There's no way around it. Exactly. Wrestling is horny. Oh, man. And, Jamie, what about you?

Listen to the Bechtelcast, listen to Lolia Podcast. And I'm going to choose a tweet that has been haunting me for about a day now. It's from Sarah Haji at Kainahaji. And it's attached to a screenshot caption. I no longer understand the world around me. It's a trending topic that I can't make heads or tails of.

Trending, Jimmy Jacobs. Content creator Carl tricks fans into believing that his brother Jimmy Jacobs would be joining for his latest stream when really Sapnap features as his special guest. And I was like, wow wow i've never felt more like i get not do i live on earth i don't know any of these people when really sap nap feet well the twist was it was sap nap not jimmy jacobs i was like what the fuck does any of this mean and where the fuck is carl i love that I'm very invested in eventually knowing

what happened. Well, yes. I must know. Why was Snipsnap there instead of Jimmy John's? Come on now. Everyone in Zeitgang has to know what was going on with Carl, Jimmy, Jacobs, and Sapnap at the end. Yeah, and is that

and is it messy? And what are the repercussions? Some tweets that I like. First one is actually from you, Jamie. Jamie Loftus Hope. You tweeted, Isaac just left saying it was an quote-unquote emergency and came back with a Little Caesars pretzel crust

pizza because apparently it's the last day they're selling them and we've never tried it. It's good. That broke my heart that I missed out on it because i've been meaning to get that shit it's good it's really good i mean i think it's just they put pretzel salt on it i don't i wasn't convinced it was a pretzel crust i think i was like oh there's extra salt on the pizza and i love that they're just putting big rock salt on the crust just street salt just for clearing roads.

Yeah, exactly. I love that. Snow day energy brought to the little Caesars pizza. It's good. And then one last one from Andrew T.
