Yes, there's it's a very clever interview that I think he was doing. OK, I can't wait. His Pats was pretty. His Pats was pretty, pretty flawless. Like, I'm not going to lie.

That's all he says. Wait a minute. And that's his. Yeah, that's his cultural appropriation defense. He's like, then how come every fucking Jamaican is hitting me up saying, respect, General. You know? They know I'm with you. Yeah, they're like, oh, my God.

Airman out. Airman out, Jet. Airman out. They don't know. They don't know. Yeah, so. They don't know. He goes off on this thing.

And then it's, anyway, it's chaos. Yeah. We'll have to link to that in the footnotes because this clip is something else. Yeah. Oh, man, I'm ready for it. That's that sounds amazing. All right, prop. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

Yes. First, a couple of things we're talking about today. We're talking about how people are pushing back against the Texas ban in their own ways. We are going to talk about how, as the U.S. cuts unemployment benefits, more rational countries are actually looking into four-day work weeks around the country and finding out that they work really well. We are going to check in on the sperm of the unvaccinated. We've just never know. We always have to take that temp check. We're going to talk about how, it's gross. We're going to talk about how tent cities are rising up while homelessness and the unhoused population actually goes down in numbers and why that is.

And yeah, we're going to talk about Andre 3000, all of that, plenty more. But first prop, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Yeah, my last search history was a medicine wheel totem. So I turned out i sat on the grandmother moon rock so long story short i spent the last four days at this um therapy counseling like youth camp type situation where you like go and down the woods and it's just this like bull processing your inner child all the shit that you you know that black people never do that you should do. I went to go do it. They had a medicine wheel, this rock thing. They had

the labyrinth, but in a weird twist of dissonance, it was in Nashville, but on plantation. I was like, this is a plantation. I don't know how in the hell y'all want me to be open and this is a plantation. I don't know how in the hell y'all want me to be open and vulnerable at a motherfucking plantation.

You know what I'm saying? But I got over it, you know, and anyway, it took a while, but I got over it. So the last thing they had was this medicine wheel and I was looking up what the grandmother moon totem meant. And what does it mean? Do you know? totem meant and what does it mean do you know yeah apparently it's like the spirit that guides the um cycles of life and mostly as it's tied to the cycles of the feminine energy so feminine life cycles menstruations how that's tied to the tides and the seasons. So it's supposed to be the guidance for the female soul. I ended up sitting on it, which is cool. Cause I mean, I'm a girl, dad, it's only women in my house.

Right. So I'm like, and then, and it was basically saying like, you should open yourself up to the sacred feminine and the feminine side in you. And that like, see how cycles can process cleansing of life, death, yada, yada. So saying like, you need to open up your feminine side in you and that like see how cycles can process cleansing of life death yada yada so saying like you need to open up your feminine side and i'm like that's the only side in my house i ain't got no option but to open up to the feminine side they're like well how come

you're not wearing sandals prop basically if you open to the feminine side as jizza said in liquid swords because it's feminine like sandals he was jesus got some questionable lines i was like i don't know what the hell this means but i think i'm bringing it up like once a week never it'll never shake it and that's a minimum feminine like sandals yes i was like i remember immediately jesus once a while where you just say like what's wrong with sandals yes i was like i remember immediately there once a while where you just say like what's wrong with sandals man that's all we're asking ourselves you know that was what's wrong with sandals i was like you been to the beach you don't wear sandals at the beach tim's only at the beach tim's only at the beach. Tim's only. Hell of New York. Hell of New York.

Yeah. Or you want Wallabies. Tim's. Wallabies. Or fucking, you got to wear Clark Wallabies or fucking Tim's to the beach. Tim's to the beach. Just fully dressed in a hoodie in the ocean. Like, come on, fam.

It's not even functional. Anyway. Yeah. I don't think Wu-Wei had much beach attire. There was no board shorts for woo wear just gigantic hockey jerseys which i had two of so yeah that's my last search engine nice what is uh what's something you think is overrated don't uh okay the album i tried though i tried man it's like you there's like a cruising altitude that you should expect from somebody who's made that many records.

You know what I'm saying? Like it's of course, it's going to be this good. You know what I'm saying? Of course, it's going to be hits. Of course, it's going to be sonically amazing. You're going to give us bars. There's going to be something super catchy. Of course, you're going to have some cool features. Of course you are. Right? But, like, that's just, man, you know, don't, God, don't sell me a lobster when you know it's a cod. Like, it's just, like, you know this is, it's a good cod.

But, like. Yeah, sure. Just. It's a good card, but like, sure. Just. And then that might all you saw that Michael Ravenport, uh, that video where he was just like, don't give me no fucking excuses. Well, the beat here, the look, does it slap or not? Is it, is it a fucking bop or not? Yeah.

Easy. You know what I'm saying? And I, and I felt myself doing that with the album. Like, well, I like this bar, these eight sections. That's super dope. Right. It's like, look, man, do you like the record or not? Yeah. You know, and I'm like, yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, no, it's good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do I'm saying like I'm like, it's good. And it felt like both him and Drake's albums just felt like they they know people are going to buy it and listen to it either way.

And they're just playing the consumer for being like, y'all are going to buy this shit anyway, even if I'm not putting everything into it. So deal with it. Right. Yeah. Because it meets that minimum standard. Yeah. That's it. It's cruising altitude.

But don't tell me you're putting your heart and soul in this. Right, right, right. Just tell me you're putting out a record. He built a scale model of his mother's house in a stadium. That's how you know. And then he ascended to heaven in front of everyone. Remarried his divorced wife in front of everybody. So I'm like, oh, okay.

Yeah. So I'm like the theatrics. I get it. But like, okay, man. At the end of the day, it's like, what's Anthony B I get it. But like, okay, man. At the end of the day, it's like, what's Anthony Bourdain? He's like, look, man, it's a burger. You can call this thing. You can add whatever you like.

This is meat and buns. You can put whatever, pineapples and all. You can put whatever you want. Fucking burger, dog. Right. Either a good burger or not a good burger. Do you think he is able to tell at this point that he dropped a turkey for the most part no we're a cat a good guy listen the way he's been talking

for the last few years he's so gassed up on his own shit and he has a ton of people you know perpetuating that around him that yeah i can't i would i would be really surprised if he said like yeah that was super undisciplined like I should have waited like you know but yeah it's a it's a lesson you know for me as a creative because he talks like he's he's already has he has the whole fucking he's already figured it out yeah I mean he essentially did say that without putting it accepting any blame for it he was like they put it out without my approval so that's him being like it's not it's not weird yeah but that's like it wasn't done that like reminds you like i remember like like in high school like our track team was really

good and there's this one kid who's talking all this shit about how he's good in the 200 and like he was gonna smoke this other kid out of meat and he knew out the blocks this guy fucking had his ass so he pulled up like his hamstring fucked up and he's like yeah ah and he's like yeah no man something happened i would have had him though that's like, ah. And he's like, yeah, no, man, something happened. I would have had him, though. That's what that Kanye line feels like. We're like, yeah, I wasn't ready. And they put it out. Yeah.

No, you knew. You were just talking a lot of shit. It was. Even the baby was like, the baby's manager, because he said, because, you know, like, Fuse kept getting pulled off the record and all this. We'll probably talk about it later. But his manager, he was like, look, man, he put it out out his manager said he didn't approve the verse that's why we pulled it out his manager pulled a statement like why in the hell would i take my artist off a kanye album

right why would i do that like right what are you talking about of course we approved it you know and i'm and that to me like that that makes that tracks yeah why would you why would you say no yeah you know a lot of foolery on it do you think that there are seven good songs worth of shit on the album like if you had just cut it down because i was like my my initial reaction was like this is the you know cheesecake factory menu of you know just like just stuffing everything in there that they possibly could and then like i feel like i could have got it to 12 yeah yeah he could have got it to like a 7 to 12 and i mean yes obviously all this is it wouldn't have stood up with his best shit his best shit i

just yeah and then but then you say like yo like cars drop out late registration those are long Obviously, all this is just my opinion. They wouldn't have stood up with his best shit. His best shit. I just, yeah. And then, but then you say, like, yo, like, cause dropout, late registration, those are long-ass records. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I get that. He's like, well, that's what I do. You know what I'm saying?

And I'm like, yeah, but they, you didn't miss on those. Like, I don't know what to say, bro. You didn't miss. Yeah. Yeah. Because Dark Fantasy was only 13. So, you know, he can he can go between them all but i don't do it i think i think yeah i think like we were talking about last week jack

it's just that the spotify shit has completely changed how people look at an album and like what it means to listen and chart and all that so now it's just like gaming a computer algorithm yeah it's not about the art anymore it's not about the bars it's not about the beats do you have thoughts on the drake album pro i haven't listened to a single drake album in 15 years no i'm kidding all right uh nah i haven't heard it yet i yeah for real i haven't heard drake's record yet you know and i mean it's like it's kind of like my suspicion is it's going to be a bunch of singles. They'll all work. You know what I'm saying? It'll be great.

You know what I'm saying? It's like the same thing. It's going to be great. It's candy. I'm even strong. I mean, I did the junior high version of going through an album where it's like, if it's not connecting in three seconds, I'm hitting skip. And I got to the 15th track pretty quick just listening to the

album like that and i was like well but then he put then they all then all these people put out songs in between albums that you're like that should have just been on your fucking album right rather than like that song's great loose mixtape stuff but it is what yeah what is something you think is underrated prop oh three stacks andre 3000 but that's what immediately i was like i hate that he's not on everyone's top five and i absolutely come from i'm like keepers of the flame old guard you know you don't rap over your lyrics. Like when you say freestyle, you mean freestyle. You know what I'm saying? Like I come from lyrical miracle. That's where I come from. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Right. You know what I'm saying? I come from that quasar spinning

pole bars. Right. Right. Right. Right. Having said that, it's like, but Andre can do that and he can do. Drake, like he can do he he can do it all, you know, and it's like and he's got that Kendrick thing that even his singles are lyrical, like you're still wrapping your ass off. your ass off you know what i'm saying and it's emotional and like so like my personal everybody got their top five i mean there's some top five that's like undisputed you know you can't talk like jm pop naz big like this this you can't this is it's undisputed like there's no other i get it but like for myself, I'm like, I just barrel match Andre 3000. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, I don't three stacks black thought like these dudes where you're just like, why, why are they not Mount Rushmore? You know what I'm saying? So like for me, like three stacks to this day, I will scream on the top of a mountain that like y'all not giving him his

flowers. Yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah. I mean, I wonder if it's because, you know,

Andre isn't like, you know, like a cypher rapper, like those other guys you're talking are, who is just coming straight for the bars and just coming for your neck in a battle kind of person, because he really gives, he,

he gave it a, like more of an art form like yes you know i feel like kendrick will look at what andre did and realize that there's a lot more that you can do with rapping than merely just having great you know metaphors and things like that because i think one of my favorite uh andre songs is a life in the day of benjamin I love that song from the love below I and it's such a non-single but yes does his storytelling game is so fucking just on point and it's laser focused that I was like this there's not even a fucking like a real hook on this song and he's destroying it so yeah for me I'm like he he's he's using the palette of rap in a much different way than a lot of other mcs are and i think that's what i think most people don't

like i don't think articulate enough about what makes him exceptional exactly nailed it they're on the idlewild record that everybody missed is the album they did going on with the movie he got a song called chronometrophobia just the fear of clocks and he talked about he talked about just being afraid of running out of time and i'm like how you this man is like did anybody it's like y'all come look at this like that's the way i felt i'm like right are y'all hearing this am i i'm not i know i'm not crazy this is brilliant and yeah it's like anyone would skip it you right you'd skip it because just you would it's not a single yeah i feel like the like the he can just say whatever he wants on a yes on

a song like the the rhyming is almost like it's just being done automatically like it yeah having to like force any rise just he's saying whatever the fuck he wants to say it's like he definitely feels like the only person who like when you look at a written verse you're like nobody else could have done that no one could have done this yeah on this on this on this song that leaked it's like i usually because like you said i'm a poet i'm a rapper my first thought always when i see a song see a concept i'm like how would i approach that and sometimes where i'm going how would you approach that and i'm like i know what this fool finna do you know i'm saying it's like people got like it's like most most rappers are like a five four four to five trick pony. Like, I know what you're going to talk about. Right.

This dude, the idea of saying I'm talking to Kanye's mom and asking him to go find my mom in heaven because I got some questions for her. Like. Where are you? Right. How do you think of that? You're like, yeah, yeah, it's not he's not even trying. It's like it's like it's like he's not even trying right yeah yeah do you hold out hope that uh solo album's coming are you happy with the features i love it it's almost like that's even more why i think he's so goaded that he's just like i'll rap when i feel like it right yeah yeah his energy is truly of someone who doesn't his ego isn't threatened at all by people maybe not publicly acknowledged he truly like he lives from his inside and just projects that outward the outside does not inform his inside and that's true you know self

actualization true self-worth is to know that no matter what is happening exists outside of you, that has in no way will interrupt or cause chaos to what you are, you know, you, you know, and live and breathe as an artist or person. Yes. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about Texas. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.

One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent, revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available

So all of these We have, we thank Latin culture There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey That dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was listen to hungry for history as part of the my cultura podcast network available on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and you know i think some people were looking to the official channels of power

after texas functionally banned abortion and like are y'all gonna do something which i think is natural merrick garland said the doj will help protect clinics that are under attack as they find a way to remedy the effects of Texas's abortion ban. Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren are calling for the filibuster to get stomped out. But that's just doesn't seem like there's any movement on that front. Yeah. We have heroes like Caitlyn Jenner who are like, I agree with what's happening in Texas. You're like, nobody asked you to sit down. Listen, a lot of Republicans have been really quiet, too. Yeah. Right. That's a man mind. They know it's a loser. Yeah, it's a loser. And but that's the problem is the Democrats know it's a winner. And so they're not going to do anything other than kind of let it let it burn. do anything other than kind of let it let it burn well yeah that's like anything it's like oh let's find an issue that will motivate people and in the interim allow people to die because we're not

going to address it immediately and just draw it out to motivate votes and then we'll act like we didn't know what the fuck y'all were talking about when we win the election this is kind of the pattern we're seeing and yeah i think everyone was trying to figure out how to help in their own way. We talked about just generally like this is a time for people to be a little more in touch with your activist side to figure out how you can factor into mutual aid networks, how you can factor in to offer your skills or materials that you may have to help in service of movements like this to protect each other. Because as we're seeing, leaderships are doing it too slowly. And it's just really wild to see just all the different ways that this has come out. Like first, the site itself had to keep like, you know,

the, the, the, like the bounty website where people could go like report, you know, suspected abortion activity, essentially for the $10,000, whatever gift card to

Costco or whatever they're giving out that like that site, they, they had, they had to find a new server, like a hosting service because go daddy was like, Nope, sorry. Then Epic was like another one that they went to that usually hosts like trash problematic places. They're like, Nope. So they've had trouble, trouble just generally hosting the infrastructure. But then yeah, the young people were also coming through. There's this one guy on TikTok who kind of went viral. His name's Sean Black,

Black underscore Madness 21, because he wrote like an algorithmic script. Like he wrote a script basically to just spam the website with a bunch of fake nonsense tips to, you know, gum up the works. So I just want to play this because it just, it's just wild to see like, you know, how every, even people who love their computers and are just trying to contribute are sharing this information and it's leading to a lot of movement.

Okay. So here's the update. Unfortunately, the IP banned me found out this morning. So when I asked him to sign it, it gives me something that looks like this. But before that, I was able to get about 245. so right now he's walking through like just all the

code and what he's been able to do to spam this website you might be asking yourself what is it he made an iowa shortcut well it picks a random city county and texas zip code and all the other information puts it in form automatically submits it so if you go to the website from your ios device this is the web page with the form click the share button you click the shortcut it automatically send the form yeah so then refresh the page and you have to do it again it's at five seconds damn so yeah this young man said hey you've done this this iOS script and you'll fuck their website up. The kingdom come. And a lot of people have been hopping on. He said he was inspired by this other woman's TikTok to just be like, fuck it.

Just go in there and put some dumb shit. Just say Greg Abbott is in there and say the accusation is his ass stinks. Yes. Like keep and force them to go through all this shit. But, you know, that was this young man's version to just figure out, hey, you know what? This seems like an easy way to spam a website. Here's how you can make it hard for them. Yes.

Gen Z is undefeated. I'm like, if you were, these people were born on the internet. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. You just can't. We merely playing it. We're playing it. there's there are people that just you're just too good at the internet and i'm like just seeing the idea that that dude

figured out i'm like they're too good at the internet there's just you can't i think about people trying to like who's who who am i thinking about uh uh little X. He's just too good at the internet. It's an extension of him. I feel like it's not, Miles, you said, people who love their computers, but I feel like it's more just like an extra extension of their person that they're just

able to think in. As easy as it is for me to manipulate my fingers on my hand. That's them with the internet. It's just, you're right it's an extension i am hardwired they can just do it you know and and and the idea that that's the way they chose to like this is my activism you know i'm saying make me feel like a t1 terminator i'm like the right straight uh yeah i'm the schwarzenegger version these kids is liquid like just yeah it's incredible bro yeah

that's that level of brilliance yeah because they're almost like the closest i came to it was being like in madden like on super nintendo when you knew oh man this play works every fucking time yeah i've done every fucking i've played the game enough to know this mother for whatever reason it's a glitch and it works that's how a lot of these people understand the internet where they're like oh yeah nothing's a problem because i can i can make whatever i need to happen just yeah it can happen and yeah there and it is again to see that sort of energy being taken into something like this you love to see it um one other group though uh quickly that has decided to get, you know, throw their weight around in this debate over abortion access is the Satanic Temple.

They are using, you know, their IRS recognized religious status to challenge the bill as well. And they're saying that their followers have a right to an abortion because it's part of their religion. They said, quote, the satanic temple stands ready to assist any member that shares its deeply held religious convictions regarding the right to reproductive freedom. Accordingly, we encourage any member who resides in Texas and wishes to undergo the satanic abortion ritual within the first 24 weeks of pregnancy to contact the satanic temple so we may help them fight this law directly. They've done this kind of stuff in the past too because they're saying like well if that's a religion then this is also the deal like where they said if you're going to have 10 commandments stuff in the capitol building i think it was in missouri or somewhere like they used to have baphomet in there too

yeah just to keep it funky you know because if we're going to represent all religions right and you know point this is more of a point than like i think a real true legal challenge but everyone is sort of again even talked about well if if this is the case if we're going this heartbeat bill and we're going six weeks as the cutoff then is that going to affect uh like you know child support and things like that because if we're really going to go there are we really going to go there i i i find it i i have to put on i have to put on uh my my theological hat here the history and theology like you know understanding that evangelicals weren't always anti-abortion like that's they weren't always that that was a political moment

which i know is like anathema to um like a modern conservative christian to think that like there was a time that y'all ain't think like this but to even more again now i'm putting my theology hat on once upon a time i considered seminary mainly because i just i just like learning i just find everything i was i was like man i'm gonna finish this seminary then i'm gonna go to this muslim one then i'm gonna go to this buddhist well i just i just think it's interesting. Anyway, deep cut, went back in to make sure I wasn't tripping, but there was an old law in the book of Numbers in the Hebrew Bible, Old Testament, Numbers chapter five, verses 11 through the end of the chapter, where if a man suspected his wife like creeped on him and he was overcome as the scripture says with the spirit of jealousy he could take her to the to the priest right and make her swear an oath

that i ain't do nothing right right? And what the priest would do is make this concoction, they said, that would taste bitter in her soul, right? As to if she was telling the truth, this concoction would just run right through her. But if she lying, it's going to abort the child.

That you supposed to drink this water that's going to induce an abortion. Yeah. I mean, it's in the law, right? And then the law says that after that, the man is free, he's forgiven, and she has to bear the iniquity. And I'm like, so you're telling me abortion is in the Bible? Right?

So you telling me abortion is in the Bible? Right. That's so. So part of me feels like I don't know. I don't know if anybody ever read this thing, actually. You know, like this is some shit in here. It's real selective. Real selective.

Yeah. But I'm like, I just don't think I don't think y'all ain't ever read this shit. Like it's in there. And now, granted, we still talk about ancient people. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt in the sense that like you know they ancient number one and number two most of the other most of the other tribes would have just killed the lady right right and y'all said so at least they said well just abort the child like but i'm saying what i'm trying to tell you is if you want to talk biblical, you know what I mean? Like, I'm going to need you to unpack the way you think about this.

It's just it's just one of those like just kind of just kind of putting that in there. I don't I don't know what this has to do with the law, but I just like, hey, actually, before you start saying, you know, I'm saying, this is where your gods stand. I need you to, like, understand the complexities of the way for which your god has approached this topic. I do feel like a lot of Baptists would be on board with a woman's right to choose is between her husband and his priest. I feel like they could get on board with that. They might be down with that. Yeah, because it's not the actual procedure that bothers them. It's the lack of control over it. I feel like in a lot of situations. But just a couple highlights from the

story. The Texas Right to Life claimed so after people started spamming them with Shrek porn and other false claims, they said, we have it all under control. We anticipated this real confidently, like an action movie villain at the end of the first act. And then, hey, so that's when they blocked people from outside the U.S., and that's when a single teenager was able to find the workaround for that.

And also, shout out to Gizmodo's Shoshana Wodinski, who pointed out that it violated GoDaddy's terms of service. So Texas Right to Life also, by the way, exposed the private info of 300 job applicants, which was stored in an unprotected directory on its website. So just not the best of any of this so once godaddy kicked them off they went to the dude who his name is literally rob monster he runs a website service company called epic and calls itself the swiss bank of the domain industry but really they're just like they enable white supremacy they like when godaddy shut down gab they came to the rescue and helped uh host a gab after the parlor synagogue

shooter yeah parlor as well but even rob monster wouldn't host the snitch site after receiving complaints they found the site violated their terms of use and it was shut down so i really wonder like who who thought the snitch site was like i'm like this is an honest question like why would y'all think this was a good idea like i just who would think of this this happens all the time in my experience in like southern bapt communities, like talking about each other and like the other person's sins. So I wonder if like within the people who are part of the anti-choice movement, if they are, you know, it just seems more natural to them. Seems like a better idea to them than the rest of the world. Right. Yeah. All right. Let's move on to where we're at with unemployment in the U.S. I know

like in the in the mainstream media, there's a lot of headlines about U.S. misses its jobs number for fucking whatever. August. I don't know. I don't know. Whatever month we just lived through. fucking whatever, August. I don't know. I don't know. Whatever month we just lived through. And so that's going to filter down to us in some sort of probably inhumane policy. But, you know, we've also in the past talked about how other countries are experimenting with a four day work week and having great results. Yeah, it's just it's just wild to see, like when I'm scrolling news headlines, one thing will be like, you know, Scotland also now participating in pilot program for four day work week. And then the next one is like 7.5 million people will lose some or all of their unemployment benefits. And the just difference in just the basics on how we look at

employment and working and the culture around work and what it means for like the actual human beings. Because, yeah, like we've talked about this a lot, how much like we love we love a four day work week around here, like as an idea. I mean, it makes sense. Of course, whatever is more efficient is what should be happening, because that allows people to live more of their lives with their families or their passions or whatever it may be. And, you know, the last thing we saw was like this huge study that was like years long. They said, Hey man, we're having a real hard time finding an excuse why a 32 hour work week wouldn't be good for people. And most recently, I think in 2019 in Japan, Microsoft Japan, again, Japan is fucking, you want to

talk about work culture where like, you know, Japan was a few places, people like in a modern country or developed country where people die from overworking, like an office job and like that kind of exhaustion. So for Japan to kind of even engage with like, maybe there's a better way to do this. I was like, okay, okay well what's going on so microsoft they gave 2300 they're all like all their employees 2300 of them in japan specifically they said you can choose like your own you know flexible work style that's going to kind of come out to a four-day work week and let's just see if there would be something good that comes out of it they They fucking had a 40% increase in productivity

and then like exponential growth in people's like feelings of positivity and like just feeling better about their quality of life just because they had the flexibility to figure out how they could work in a more efficient way. They even said, look, we're not even gonna have fucking meetings that are more than 30 minutes. Like let's really figure out how to make things as efficient as

possible. In the U S we've had a, a Congress person introduced a bill that he's saying like, yeah, in America, we should look at a 32 hour work week. We really need to do it because all of the data we have supports this move. And again, as he says, shorter work week would benefit both employers and employees alike. Pilot programs run by governments and businesses across the globe have shown promising results. Productivity climbed. People reported better work-life balance, less need to take sick days, heightened morale, and lower childcare expenses because people had more times with their families and children. It's just all fucking there, but we won't do it. And meanwhile, you know,

you juxtapose that with what we're looking at in the U S which is cut the benefits to force someone into a situation where they have to take a job that they don't want because that's where we're at. That's the, that currently the, like the philosophy, or at least a lot of the economic analysts are like, well, we have eight and a half million people unemployed and we have 10 million job openings. So I think that's going to fit. Fucking problem. Yeah. That's going to fit like a fucking glove.

And we continue to see that that's not the case. And we still get these same dumb fucking fake ass talking points or the unemployment benefits are making people lazy and shit like that. And there was a new, new research came out for every eight workers who lost benefits, only one found a job. So even people who lost job, like lost jobs, they were having trouble finding the work that was actually relevant to them. They said the leading reasons why unemployed aren't taking jobs have little to do with government money and everything to do with health and economic crisis, care scarcity and cost fear of getting or spreading covet 19 and taking care of someone with the disease or getting sick themselves according to the survey and we're kind of like stuck in this loop of like just only measuring our success based on

shareholder value it's so toxic the way that the mainstream media covers this shit because it like these are people making the best decisions for their health for their ability to survive it's the same shit with the the unhoused population it has gone down but they're more conspicuous now because they are not going to shelters anymore because they know that shelters are deadly because there are COVID outbreaks there in a lot of cases. And so they're living on the streets and accumulating things that they need to live on the streets. So now you are seeing the unhoused population in your community much more than you used to and the like it's not being covered as like yeah of course they're doing that because that's what is saving their lives like that's

what it's just being covered like well this is disgusting like it's a problem and like the same with like people not going back to work it's like turned into laziness instead of you don't want to be out in like a place that doesn't respect your fucking like yeah like your health like right especially right now while we're living through a global pandemic but the like that's everywhere like yeah across the center yeah we did an episode on we the royal we i did an episode on hood politics about the ending of these unemployment benefits and what what miles brought up as far as like the theory being well if you're getting free money why would you go back to work and how that's just not playing out like the the the owner of um what's the job monster was was the the job site yeah he was like we just not

seeing it in the states that y'all ended it early who's ain't applying for jobs and i when we did that episode there was uh what was in the news then was like applebee's was offering free appetizers or if you came to get an interview and to me it's like to your point jack like when you think about economic models like economy models you know sociological trends it's like i just there's this weird like but are y'all talking to actual people though no no because like your models and who are you modeling it by i remember in economics i remember my undergrad you had they had the the the average man was like what you what you modeled all of your economic models on but like that's not a real person you know nobody has nobody actually has 2.5 kids you know i'm

saying like that's not a person so it's like how you modeling your whole model and what you telling me things is happening based on a human that don't exist if you just actually talk to a human that exists this shit makes perfect sense why would i go back to his job you had a year off on a job to realize this job was some bullshit i was tired all the damn time i ain't like to work and you ain't pay me enough why the hell would i go back right like did you like this just seems so easy like or if you an employer just go i wonder why nobody's coming giving getting our jobs maybe we should offer appetizers or maybe you should offer benefits my nigga right like how about pay them better how about treat people better why you think did and just like yeah the homeless thing it's just like it's like y'all not talking to actual

people this shit makes sense if you just talk to actual people right yeah because everything is is done on a balance sheet and that's why it's so violent because it doesn't take into account people's humanity they just look at well eight and a half million people with no jobs i got 10 million jobs opening the recovery is only a matter of time but it's right there for you yeah they're not just yeah it's just the idea they're you know they're not just looking at it at as humans they can't do it there's no nuance to it it's not eight and a half million desperate people. You know what I mean? It's, and they're not seeing it. It's not, this is not eight and a

half million people where maybe many of them need to take care of a sick child or have a parent they have to take care of. It's definitely the way they look at it. It definitely can't be someone who's living in a region where housing and food insecurity is like a real threat. It certainly isn't somebody who is going through an emotionally trying time because they've lost a lot of loved ones and a job and it's an omni crisis for this this person because yeah it's easier just to say well this number this number equals problem solved but that works only for a little bit because now you're just seeing all of the blood and carnage that comes out of treating people like fucking numbers and not as human beings with individual needs that have to be taken into consideration.

Yeah. And it's not accurate. And it's becoming less and less so like on. It could happen here. The your fellow Cool Zone Media podcast daily show with Robert. daily show with Robert Evans. Or LeBron James. Yeah. Roberts or LeBron James. We get it. There you go. Okay.

But they interviewed an economist who was saying that now that everything is fucked, basically, now that we are living in a, you know, post-normal world where like everything

from temperatures to disease spread to, you know, the the environment are no longer at a point of equilibrium that they call it like they you need to be thinking about the economy as the way that like desert environmentalists think about the desert, which is like if you if you average the temperature of a desert, it's going to give you like 70. But that's because it drops to 40 and then goes up to 110 in the morning. But like economists are working on it from from an average.

And it's just not going to it's not going back to the average any any time soon. Yeah. I think when I when I another one of my past lives, when I when I was teaching high school, I taught in like this. The school was like right smack dab in between sort of three different like hoods. And there was a little boys and girls club that was like across the street from the school. And I remember my the administration put together this total like tutoring and after school program. I mean, boy, when I tell you they was breaking their arms, patting themselves on the back with this this little after school program. They did this enrichment for these, you know, these inner city kids who, you know, need these programs. And for the life of them, I remember sitting in this meeting, me and I remember the vice principal was used from Compton. So we used to just look at each

other during these meetings and just be like, what are y'all doing? You know what I'm saying? They don't know where they are. They don't know where they are, right? So they would make yes. And just so confused. I remember these people just being so befuddled as to why students that they thought needed this wouldn't come. Why aren't they in that part of the town? You don't even have to finish it. You don't even have to finish it.

You know what I'm saying? I'm just like... It's there for them. It's like, you, wow. You're okay. You're trying to ask this kid to walk through Fallujah. You know what I'm saying? To go to like... Like, nah. Like like it's just just the fact that like i i just don't understand why i have to tell

you this like you work here you talking to the same students i'm talking to like i don't understand what you don't understand like what is you looking at and like you said you looking at documents you're saying well the average temperature is 70 degrees right exactly okay it's equidistant for many of the students who would be served by this facility so it's easy to walk to i i don't understand oh we're off for snacks yeah i'm like wait what does it mean to go on the other side of hyde park oh i don't know yeah you know what i mean yeah and they're out here like huh it's it's really yeah and again it's because we don't have we're not taking into account people's humanity. We have people who look at human life as facts and figures. And we just can't.

It's just it's wild to I think all of us, because even in the situation you're talking about or we're talking about, if you speak to people and understand what the threat the threats are to their well-being then you can actually make a better decision rather than just like this brutal fucking math of like eight and a half million fucking people no job ten million jobs cut the fucking benefits off and let's see what happens because the first thing in this research that was done too

they said when people's benefits get cut off the first thing isn't that they go looking for a job they start tightening up and they start spending less that's what happened that's the first thing people do not go say okay well now i guess i'll take a job that will not acknowledge my offer me any dignity or anything or acknowledge my humanity and i'll go back to this old way so yeah it's a it's tough and then like and then i also hear i have people who I know who are like, well, it's different. I have a small business and things like that. Well, then you should be advocating for Medicare for all.

Hell yeah. Think about it. Exactly. Those aren't costs you would have to have anymore because that shit would be covered. And I know that's a huge item. A financial burden as an employer is providing those things. So then get on board because you can make it easier for yourself too. And I'm not trying to say it's all that simple, but we really need to begin to shift

how we look at the most basic issues and put humanity at the forefront or people's individual experience to understand how to give people the best outcomes with these policies. I love how you even add like just the, this is in your own best interest situation. It's like if you got employees, happy people stick around. Like, I want you to like it here. You know what I'm saying? Like, so like, I don't understand. Like, that's to your benefit.

You know what I'm saying? And like you said, when I think about like my assistant that, you know, I pay like I pay her what I pay her because I don't want her to leave right she good at her job so I'm like okay well what's it gonna take for you to be for you to have to go be somebody else's assistant to make ends meet because I'm like I can't afford that I need your attention I'm going to pay you enough to make sure your attention's here. And if you say, if you tell me that's a problem, like, hey, I'm going to need a little more. We moving to this, then like, all right, let's figure it out. Cause I can't afford to lose you. Like it don't make, I'm not going to be like, well, you should be lucky. I'm letting you like, nah, like even on a selfish situation,

that's what I'm saying. Even in my own self-interest, it makes sense to be like, That's what I'm saying. Even in my own self-interest, it makes sense to be like, oh, you telling me you telling me insurance is off my books. It's on the state's books. Hell, yeah. Right. I got paid for it. OK, cool. Let's go. You know, like y'all, they tripping, man. I look past all that shit and try and see the things for what they are. And it's tough for a lot of people. But until we really get there, I mean, we're going to just keep making these same mistakes. I mean, I will just say that it's, you know, look at Jeff Bezos. I would say that it's, you know, look at Jeff Bezos. Like, you know, there's the examples where it's better, it's more sustainable for society people who do the short-term thinking and just

grind it until the wheels fall off and like and then they get to go to space and when they go to space it gets covered five times as much as fucking climate change yes so it's just it's it's a large social problem of like what what we reward with our attention and what we reward with like the the rewards in our in our culture yeah we have to redefine what ballin is yes and ballin should just be providing for your community that's ballin you know not exploiting the people that work for you so you can take off on a spaceship that's yeah that's like early 2000s ballin and you know i think we don't we're not connecting like how much how much good comes out of people having empathy and yeah that that is truly something that you know i wish societally we could reward people with more for having that

at the forefront of the things that they do yeah all right let's take another quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app,

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play.

A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. 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. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, everyone. It's me, Katie Couric. Have you heard about my newsletter called Body and Soul?

Taking better care of yourself is just a click away. And we're back. And like we said, we do like to check in with the sperm of the unvaccinated every once in a while. And I feel like listeners know the last few weeks we've been letting them know about how unvaccinated sperm will be the new crypto, aka the new gold standard. You know, the anti-vax crowd gave us this theory. It should be noted. This did not come about via independent research. It is a theory that was created by the scientific minds that brought you taking horse dewormer. Horse pills.

Yes. Yes. But yeah. So, I mean, let's run through it real quick again. Why all our sperm is trash. Because all our sperm is trash. Because if you know Bill Gates, he's behind the whole global depopulation fucking movement. He's the fucking architect of this shit.

And his whole thing is that, look, don't get it because he's trying to kill everybody and depopulate the earth. So it's only about like 500 million or whatever number they think is whatever the goal for these people. And then because of that, people that are unvaccinated will have the most sought

after sperm because they don't have bill gates microsoft shot and and it didn't turn their sperms into becoming mr clippy asking if you need assistance when you're using a word document so speak for yourself yeah hi do you need some help oh my, the fuck is this? But yeah, it's a terrifying image. Yeah, because that's a weird shape. This theory has been well and truly debunked, mostly because it seemed to be more of a wish they were holding out for, like to be like, yeah, man, that's the other thing that could be really cool if we're not vaccinated.

Then all their wives are going to want to fuck us. It's like, okay. We got that good spurn. This is not always in there. to want to fuck us it's like okay we got that good sperm so uh robin panankea there well robin panankea at wonkette just did a little thinking she's like well i know that we know that this is bullshit because they're pointing like they're really like the dumbest headlines to say that this is proof of you know like a whole conspiracy and said i wonder if there's any research on what ivermectin does to sperm because that's their big miracle drug and i'm curious if for all this energy about being

sterile have they even done a little bit of uh just research into ivermectin well she did i don't know what's in it she found this study and it said this from the results obtained it is evident that ivermectin therapy again i just want to say this is from a study that was done on human beings because we know it's made for animals, but this is on a narrow study where there was a human application of ivermectin for a certain illness, not COVID. But again, this is what happened when human beings were taken ivermectin quote, it is evident that ivermectin therapy has, has significant adverse effects on the sperm functions of male oncoocerciasis patients, that's the illness, that were being treated. There was a significant reduction or drop in

the sperm counts of the patients after their treatment with ivermectin. Furthermore, the study showed a significant and remarkable drop in the sperm motility of the patients after their treatment with ivermectin. As for morphology of the sperm there was a rise in the abnormal sperms after treatment compared with the morphology before the commencement of treatment these changes no doubt are as results of the effects of the drug on the sperm function of the patients so oh my god while y'all are out here with your other just reese again because i don't know what this is all in a fucking effort to feel right about what you believe but the shit is also right there saying this could and will fuck your sperm up they also said they recommend caution in the use of

ivermectin in animals meant for breeding okay so that's already on the that's already on the box is, hey, this thing messes up breeding. So maybe y'all shouldn't take this. Just, yeah, they're meant to be bred. Maybe slow down on the ivermectin. But absolutely amazing. It's just the irony of it is it's so fucking weird and cruel. I don't even know, like, to laugh. I'm just like, this is just so weird that

we go further weird i was talking with my friend right and it's just like i feel like we're looking at this another realignment of society you know like on some level like like since the fucking enlightenment or something where it's really that where people are departing in different directions on what they believe is are what our society means like is meant to be or not meant to be just the nature of our relationship to science there's just like all that and it's and it because it goes deeper than political ideology because you have liberal people and conservatives who are kind of are who'll be on the same page with shit like this. Yeah. So I'm curious to see what the effects of propaganda plus this. Obviously, this pandemic has put people under tremendous stress that it's triggered this like I don't know, like slow motion.

I don't know. I don't know what to call it, but it's it's it's a phenomenon that I'm still having trouble like really getting my head around precisely what is happening i i mean i'm telling you it's like i mean you think bill gates is trying to depopulate i in my mind i'm like i feel like earth is trying to depopulate the earth right it seemed like talking about that last time yeah earth is doing its best but yeah i i think, I think you're hitting it on the head. Like a history nerd in me, like thinks back to like the Bronze Age and like the sea people, whoever the hell they were, which really weren't just like one group of people, but how it like effectively reshaped Earth, you know, and like that, that we were on this particular trajectory. I mean, it was like the 1177 BC, like the connectivity between like, this is so weird to go all the way back to this, but I mean, like there was like effectively the ancient version of like the G7, there was like a global economy, like the world, I mean, this is high, like,

this is the golden age of what we consider antiquity. And then just, and then it just stopped, you know, like it just collapsed. And a lot of that had to do, a lot of people don't know is what climate change, people was running from their old places. And then everybody got sick where they were getting copper. And when you got sick where you was getting copper, then that just messed up the whole global economy. And that was because of climate change. And then there was these different new diseases started traveling because people got too connected. And it just turned over earth. you know i'm saying and so when i think about moments in history that that has happened it's like you're right it's like you i you've never you've never had the wherewithal to sit in the middle of it and go like i think we're in i think we're in the moment you know and it feels like you're right i feel like we're in it it's like what country in europe hasn't collapsed right like they've all collapsed it's all happened you know i'm saying so you're just like what's about it's coming up guys it's gonna it's gonna

happen you know yeah or it's it's happened you know and there's just a lot of there's just a lot of good paint on the top of this you know funky car wreck that it still looks like oh i think it's okay and you're like no it, I think it's okay. And you're like, no, it's, it's, there's a lot of issues because there was a piece written by someone who, uh, like this, uh, ER doctor who started saying like, people need to actually talk about how the medical system has actually collapsed here. You know, like that's not being discussed enough. It's always like it's on the brink or things like that. But from his perspective as a doctor, he's like, when you have people dying in the waiting room of preventable illnesses that aren't COVID because

just the way the entire system is set up to not actually like try and treat people as quickly as possible or as equitably as possible, that it leads to these kinds of just terrible, terrible things like someone who had like some kind of like pancreatic thing going on. And then he just died in the waiting room because he couldn't get to the medical intervention that he needed because of the ICU being overrun with COVID patients. And yeah, it's there's just a lot to grasp at the moment. And I think that's why I'm like, I don't know if it's happening because we're looking at so many different issues simultaneously yeah but we're also seeing how people choose to address these issues too whether it's to completely ignore it or to

kind of ignore it acknowledge it and other people want to go fully into it and try and do something but it's yeah yeah this is this has existed throughout many different phases of history there's just something different. I don't know. It just feels very different. Yeah. It's like with all the doom and gloom of just how weird this is and bizarre and like of the idea of saying that there is a significant and countable number of society that would take a horse dewormer rather than an approved medicine made for humans that would seriously, that that's

not a joke. They really, this is really where they are. Like the, the severity of that coupled with the, in my mind, just again, a longer view of history and like that, but there is an after that, you know, like, like I like i said like like going back to like europe as an example there's still such thing as france you know i'm saying like it's right still exists you know i'm saying there's still such thing as greece like these are still places you can visit but it it went through a thing that you're like i don't want to go through whatever we're going through but like it's like it's it just feels like i just feel like we're playing jenga here and just yeah it's gonna fall guys like you know i'm saying it's yeah it it seems like from a broad

historical perspective like this is it like the you mentioned the enlightenment and like that was brought about by the printing press and like it feels like the internet is the opposite of the printing press because where it's like the printer printing press taken to its like most logical illogical extreme where it's like the printing press was a engine that could run a certain at a certain rpm and the internet is just like pushing it and that's that's not a cool take it's a fucking like luddite unibomber take but it really feels like there's we're at a point where we need to figure out how to regulate how information is consumed or I don't know. Yeah.

I don't know what the other options are. Well, we seem to be uniquely affected by it in this country. I mean, granted, there's anti-vax movements across the globe, but like here especially, like there's this combination of American exceptionalism plus a slowly decimated education system over the last few decades where we're not creating many critical thinking people and we're mapping that on top of like this american identity which is like fucking can't tell me nothing about shit yeah yeah that is it's it's it's affecting us in a very specific way it's's a killer combo. Yeah, it's just a, yeah, I'm like, you know, what is the next thing after this? Like what happens when this phase of whatever we're in runs its course? Then what is born out of that?

Are we going to pick up the pieces and try and do something different? Or is it just going to accelerate towards whatever the end path is for this? I don't know. I mean, I talk a lot about how the inventor of the loudspeaker blamed himself for the rise of hitler the yeah you know the rwandan genocide radio stations played a huge part in the spreading of that and like we haven't yet gotten we've gotten like small pockets around the world of internet caused versions of that but i mean yeah that is like that's the danger right that i think we need to and yeah america seems

like one of the top candidates which is fucking terrifying yeah and we got the most guns for people to grab one there you go so it's it's just all, you know, and I, you'd hope that this is where people begin to see what the problems are out there and, and do what's right or trying to improve things. And I mean, like I'm heartened by seeing things like, you know, that like a lot of Gen Z kids are being more and more interested in working in climate work, like as a career and like any other generation yeah so there's you know things are moving but yeah like everything is very much in flux in a way that yeah to be open to like

attuned to yeah yeah to be open to have that type of imagination to say like i know that there's a world out there that's like possible and i'm being real like flowery and poetic, but like, yeah, like to imagine a better future that like sometimes does require. That's almost all the time, like a sort of divesting in the one we're in now. You know what I'm saying? And just having to like look at the bits and pieces of there that are like, what's worth saving? What do we need to just like take a big old eraser to and just be like all right maybe let's just go ahead and start over here you know right and having the guts to do it you know and the type of again like imagination to say that like it doesn't have to be like this it can be something else i don't know what that what else is but i know it can be something else

you know and i feel like you, to self-aggrandize, I feel like that's where the poets and the artists and now the podcasters come in and, you know what I'm saying? Is like, help like spark that imagination collectively about like what we can do to see this world better. Yeah. Well put. All right. Well, Prop, as always, so amazing having you on TDZ. Man, I appreciate y'all. Where can people find you and follow you? PropHipHop.com. We just released a, like a virtual performance.
