and now she is just killing it on the podcast i am thrilled to welcome the talented the brilliant the model a hilarious entertainer just take machine a reese wanzer hello thank you for that marvelous introduction i'm just i'm bored and i've been thinking of a lot of the the birdman discography recently i was like birdman i think of that more as like a deep cut i think of it more as a clip song really you know obviously yes okay but it is a birdman track but if we for real it's a clips beat we turned in for we turned in for clips i wish you guys could see aricia right now she looks amazing like your hair is so pretty like your makeup is done like you're giving so much yeah arisa i'm kind of mad that you really you you're just showing out i all i could do is put

on a hat and barely shave my face yeah i'm a model a model in her 30s. We can't be having days off. I need to stay employed. Yes. So one of the reasons why we need to go to a video podcast so you can be here to witness the beauty of Arese Wanzer. Arese, we're going to get to know you a little bit more thoroughly. But first, we're going to talk about what we are talking about. Talk about what we're going to talk about what we are talking about talk about what we're going to talk about well vaccines there's some vaccines entering phase three uh efficacy testing we'll get into what that means and what it means and what it doesn't mean uh then we'll have to get into a good old-fashioned white supremacy fuckery roundup and just see what is going on with some people just still fucking around uh you know that just to show that we

haven't really come that far uh since all the uprisings in may and june but look that's why we got to keep our eye on the prize and not lose focus because the media is doing a good job of changing the subject real quickly uh then we'll talk about post malone oh wow he's got a if if people were really starving for sports does he have the answer for you it's beer pong and we'll get into why i won't be watching later uh and then we'll talk about avatar 2 being delayed we touched on that in one of the trending episodes but there's also like this russell crowe movie that is like aggressively trying to come out in theaters so you know just take a look at hollywood real quick and be like, what is going on with all of this?

But first, Aris, you got to tell us, what is something from your search history that is revealing, that reveals a little bit more about who you are? Oh, you know what? My search history, it would definitely have horoscopes pretty deeply embedded in there i've been listening to the hood healer a lot oh the hood healer wait what's that what is that it's this girl she's like a medium and she's not doing it for the money like she does charge because she needs to live but like she's very like anti-celebrity she's like if you're a celebrity don't follow me this This is not for you and your little horoscope like that you want me to do.

Oh, okay. This is for everybody. I'm trying to wake up the world and she kind of predicted COVID-19 last year. Stop. Yeah, like my friend was sitting

in her videos because I'm like, bitch, no, because I love, I loved a proven. Yeah, sure. The hood media,

the hood media was like, all right, listen, listen up, bitches. Y'all gonna die. Oh, what was her prediction? Oh, proven media. Listen up. Exactly. Oh, what was her prediction? Oh,

she's going down in 2020. Her exact words were, she said, okay. So she said, you need to save money. You need to stockpile your money. She goes,

because there's about to be not a lot of money in the coming year. And she said, something big is going to happen in February. Something big is going to happen in February. Something big is going to happen in February. It's going to change everything. She said, and the black Kings and Queens are going to rise up and said it just like that.

And I was like, black lives matter movement. I was like, what? Like I was like, she said, the black Kings and Queens are going to rise up and it's going to be a world,

like a global movement. And I was just like, like, if I heard that last year, I'd be like, what the fuck is she talking about? Wait. And it's the hood healer. I'm about last year, I'd be like, what the fuck is she talking about? Wait, and it's the hood healer.

I'm about to get, I'm about to follow her. Honey, I was sure. I was shook and horoscope down to like the moment. And you're like, like she clocked my friend's diarrhea. Oh,

see, I like, this is the equivalent of like barbershop talk. This is the beauty shop talk. Now it's like the hood healer. This clairvoyant woman had predicted COVID. Meanwhile, like in the barbershop talk. This is the beauty shop talk now. It's like the hood healer. This clairvoyant woman had predicted COVID. Meanwhile, like in the barbershop,

it's like that hotel shit. Exactly. Y'all told y'all stop eating that dairy. That's why y'all got your periods. Oh, you see, cause you had frozen broccoli bags and boiling all the nutrients. Okay.

Uh-huh. You wonder why. That's why black folks can't rise up. Yeah. Oh boy. Exactly. Okay. The hood healer. So are you normally

very into your astrology and whatnot? Yeah, it's funny. J.P. Morgan, the founder of J.P. Morgan said, religions for millionaires, astrology is for billionaires.

And so I was like, hmm. And so I think billionaires are evil because none of them are ethically billionaires. Like you are working on slave labor from somebody.

You have to kill someone to become a billionaire. Literally. Literally literally you have to be living off of other people's suffering to be a billionaire i mean in a way jp morgan was you know because they were steeped in that slave money he was yeah exactly exactly so i'm not applauding that shit i'm not applauding that shit um but i will say he was applauding astrology and rihanna used to go around with her own little astrologer. So I'm like, well, well, that's a flex. Yeah, I do it too.

Would you do that if you got to that level of money? Like what's your what who is your like sort of egregious, unnecessary support staff in your entourage? If Rihanna had an astrologer, what's your who's your who's on your team? God, I just surround myself with really hot guys and so i think they'd all just be on staff i guess just floating around for free hot on the payroll i wish somebody would pay me to be fine okay right like payroll aries is like here take the gift bag from this party we just went to that's yeah your pay. Exactly. I've just always wanted to look like Donatella Versace in that aura moment.

Wait, Aris, what are your signs? I'm a Libra. I'm a Libra sun. Pisces moon and a Leo rising. Oh, okay. See, I know I have butt with you. I'm a Cancer. That's my main sign, but I'm a Libra rising.

Oh my God. Almost all of my exes are Cancers. Really? There's a lot of them. Look at astrology bringing everybody closer together. I got to figure out all my other ones because I know, you know, I'll figure them out. You're a Virgo. I know that, but we got your birth time. Yeah, my birth time is early in the morning.

And then what's the third one? How do you figure out the third one it's like where the moon or the where mars was or where your venus was like when you were born so like there's a venus and then there's a mars is it mars i don't know right now because i know your venus and your mars no like okay well my shit just cut out so i didn't even hear what you're saying there's four there's four okay this before this turns into a knockoff susan miller podcast uh let's move to our next our next point uh arise what is something that you think is overrated oh um something i think is overrated the mainstream media oh yeah i'm gonna say Yeah, because people get all their news from it.

And, bitch, I'm the one reporting the real news on my page. If you go and look through my stories, I'm giving you, because I deep dive. And I'm not looking for conspiracy theories. I'm looking for real stuff with a paper trail that shows works cited pages. Because we used to have to do that in school. I don't know why people keep posting shit with no evidence. Right. Anyway, it's true.

We used to have to have a whole works cited page. Remember that, y'all? Do kids even have to do that anymore? Do they have to do the MLA format? Apparently the fuck not. APA, MLA, which one was it? That shit was a scam and a waste of paper. It was a scam.

I had to buy a fucking whole ass book on format. I was like, no, no, no. This is not necessary. The MLA handbook. Yeah. It was the MLA handbook. Right. So I think, yeah, no, this is not. The MLA handbook. Yeah. It was the MLA handbook. Right. So I think, yeah, the mainstream media is overrated because they report the same shit on every goddamn channel.

And it's all become like propaganda of what they want you to believe versus what's really going on. Yeah. Mainstream media, social media. It's at every at every turn. There's some level of propaganda that you engage with, or wittingly or unwittingly. But yeah, TV news, damn. Remember when news used to be boring? It used to be like you open the newspaper,

and it's just a lot of facts and things. And now the news is like, Donald Trump wants you to suck his titties. Click for more. I'm like, you are NBC. Why is this a headline? No, exactly. Just like on Instagram, nobody posts their failures the news

doesn't post anyone's successes it's all about doom and gloom always always always or clickbait it's just weird to me how close the news is to entertainment now like it's too close it feels like i'm watching real housewives but i'm like this is abc news why yeah they're like kim k shows off red bandana birkin bag su woo what's bracken kim it's like tucker carlson champagne to the face on fox and friends like bitch what's happening i'm like this isn't even news anymore and none of us really care what the kardashians they're doing they took a huge L I feel like celebrity culture god damn that shit became not

important so quick during quarantine? it's because it's so superficial there used to be so much joy in the world we were worried about laugh lines now people are worried about world hunger again go figure also they did a bunch of out of touch videos too

wait a reason anybody asked you to do a video whether you did i take responsibility because you're a model i googled you and model comes up first like beautiful pictures did they ask you did they ask you to influence and take responsibility oh yeah or cape for some company that you don't want yeah no for pride um because people love to jump on the Pride bandwagon because I'm super intersectional. They're like, she's black, she's trans, and she's got a following. I'm like, look, what we're not going to do is make this a fucking hashtag. This is what we're doing. Because it's a whole movement.

And so what people forget, what companies and corporations forget is that you're a person. Right. And so they're like, hey, so so for pride we want you to make a pride video and i said sorry at this time i'm focused on black pride and so if it's not intersectional with that i said i'll do a pride video but it has to do with black lives matter i said otherwise i can't take your money and i can't post your video because the money's not even enough they're trying to post you like trying to give me like 400 girl if you were giving, girl, if you were giving me $30,000, I'd be like, happy pride, everyone. To the whites only. Directly to Christopher Street West.

Yes. Christopher Columbus was a god. Just selling out. Sell out. I'm like, yeah. For these coins, for these two bills you covered, I'm not going to denounce my people. I'm just saying.

Anyways, it's just um and not that you're denouncing them but it's just to ignore it completely so i actually actually had two companies change their pride campaigns and then i did them oh nice that's amazing you do black lives matter with it i said because it's intersectional i said suffering is suffering i said i said oppressed is oppressed you think when they saw i'm a black person and i'm a transgender. So what we're not going to do is pretend like I don't see one. When you replied, they're like, wait, so would they get mad if we do both? Can it work like that?

Can you do black lives matter? Are there black queer people at the same time? Is RuPaul black? You know what I mean? That's why. Wait, who? The T.O. Yep, I mean. We're why. Oh, boy, yeah. Wait, ooh. I mean. Oh, yep.

I mean. We in the forest now. That's a whole other show. He messed. He, ooh. Like, what the frack? Anyway. We don't even have to get into that.

But I will say that he was, like, one time on an award show at the Emmys, I believe. And they were like, we're one of the most diverse shows. And it was him and a bunch of white gays. It was a bunch of white people. No, bro, this ain't it. I was like, no, it's just like that show, that new fashion show that just came out with Jacque Mas.

And it's this big French designer. He's a white guy. And it's like all black models, all models of color going down this African runway in the safari. And it's absolutely beautiful. It shows the models photo. Then it shows the the team photo and the team is all white oh lord jesus i was like girl this isn't diversity just so you know you're like you're telling black people what they want like you're telling but we hired black people as asking us girl like just for diverse we're diversity hires all over again i'm like what is this the good part is they're all so

scared to get canceled that they're just open to suggestion but like what do we do which like let me tell you always should have been a reason it's i i'm shocked that you had to convince them a little bit to even change the campaigns because it's like uh we're helping you this is free information right exactly i know there was a black person i know there was a black person. I know there was a black person in that Pepsi commercial video or that Pepsi commercial planning session with Kendall Jenner. I know there was at least one Negro in there who was like, please don't do this, y'all. Please don't have her solve racism with the Pepsi that the girls will be angry. Right. My thing is, why do you ask any of her baby daddy friends?

Right. Her sister's baby daddy. I'm like, you had plenty of black people to ask if this was cool child asap rocky said the black lives matter movement didn't apply to him and then he went to jail in sweden and then he was like oh wait a minute i guess i am black never mind trump save me unplug unplug oh but he got out but he did he did pull the slick move of being like they trump thought he was gonna say thank you and then he didn't he He's like, what the fuck? I thought the young God was going to thank me, salute me.

He thought he had another Kanye on his hands. And he's like, no, sir. This man just took off with that. One coon at a time, Trump. Right. That's a scam I appreciate. Arise, what is something that you think is underrated? Something that is underrated?

Ooh. Jesus, that's hard. Like, is there something that you're enjoying that is not popular? I know, but that's so many things. I'll say I'm underrated. How come none of y'all have heard of me? I know all y'all listening to this don't know who the fuck I am. I ain't been knowing you.

No, because I had this talk with the Global Fashion Exchange and it was real and it was about Black Lives Matter. Because if you have me on, you can't be canceled. I cover all bases. It's like, OK, we can talk about queer. The magic bullet. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, ha ha. But I finally have an advantage in life.

Thanks. Isn't that so? But isn't that so fucked up to think about, though? Like, I know we are all have probably been approached, have had opportunities to do things. And it's on a wave of, yeah, we got problems. It's a big problem. Complexion or diversity in this campaign or this workplace. And it has like that fucked up way of fucking with you also of like, damn, like, am I?

Is this because i deserve it no is it because people more powerful of course i mean i think yeah look between all the therapy and books i've been reading i'm definitely not second guessing myself like i used to anymore but that is like this sort of secondary effect where they're like on one level i think we all laugh where it's like yep look at a lot of people about to get hired get raises and things like that look at my african-american yeah but half the time is not half 98 of the time it's done for the complete wrong reasons and i think we were talking about this at the very beginning while it's welcome because you need to do something it you also want it to feel like it's because people are also simultaneously understanding what the situation is and their part in helping rather than like, okay, man, we look fucked up. But it's a good thing though, too. I've just, you know, it's, it's, it's a, it's another element where even the, as, as you, as we see opportunities

for diversity inclusion, there's some, a lot of the offers are still kind of tainted in this way that don't feel like it's because we're actually moving forward in the way we need to. And'll get to that too as we talk about some but as a scammer i don't care how i get through the door uh as long as i get in that bitch and like we're we're all exceptional here we're exceptional negroes so when we get there we're gonna be exceptional so it doesn't matter for me i don't worry as much about white folks intentions just because as much as i wish that the majority of white people would be kind i just you know i'm from the south and that's just not been my experience and i still love the white folks in my life who are friends and family my mother right now is about to be published she's completely redoing the hr and her company uh she has everyone reading

white fragility and they're not allowed to do what about isms and they're not allowed to like speak in certain ways like when they're in these big meetings and like she's educating people and she's also bringing them she had a white man tell her that her his son who is gay had would not speak to him for more than five minutes on the phone and then when he started reading white fragility and she started reforming the whole hr department he said he called his son and he was like did you think i was racist because i voted for trump and he was like absolutely that's why i don't talk to you like you are a racist and you're against the rights of my people and what i need and he said he started crying they had an hour and a half conversation so i was like you

know if you get rid of the racism in your life you it does enhance your life like you free yourself from a cage you put yourself in where you just think you're better than everyone else and it also puts a big pressure on you where you have to be better than everyone else at the time turn that shit off i'm tired as hell anyway so back to people not knowing who the fuck you are i didn't mean to digress because that was the main point i didn't want to get sidetracked with the social justice bullshit you're fine i wasn't gonna forget i was like i wasn't gonna forget This is a good motherfucking conversation. Yeah, I like it.

I like it. No, but I will say I was talking to the Global Fashion Exchange, which is like this big whole fashion network that controls what happens in fashion, like how skinny models are allowed to be this and that. Anyways. And so I was talking to them on their live on Instagram. And they said, what's the biggest disservice that happens to you as a model? And I said, well, I said, if you Google top 10 models, top 10 transgender models on the planet of earth, I'm there. I said, if you Google top black model, black trans models, I am there. I said, I want you to name two other black trans models. I said, and that is a disservice because

I'm not even rich. I'm the most famous one in the world. And I'm not even rich because y'all aren't diverse or inclusive at all. Right. So don't ask yourself why I'm not in the Burberry ad. Ask Burberry why they're racist. Do people ask you some dumb shit like that? They're like, Aris, how come you're not in this thing? Without completely acknowledging it's like, are you aware of the hurdles like that society

in this industry have put in front of me they're like how come you've never walked versace i'm like well i've been a model since i was 17 been openly trans since 19 i'm about 33 they had about 13 years to get it right so i'm gonna say they never got it right and so i'm i'm pointing the finger at all of them because you never made the right decision and you make the trends you tell everyone what's beautiful and that's why you having two black models is not diversity on the runway. That's why you having one Asian model is not fucking diversity on the runway. You have 42 white

models. What the fuck is that? In New York Fashion Week, I can't walk down the street of New York without hitting nine black people on the shoulder with one block. I'm just saying, how do you have a whole runway with 42 white women go down and pretend like we don't buy clothes too? We are consumers the african-american population like is when it comes to like gdp and like how much money we spend and privilege

but a reason i you know what's crazy is like i've never obviously spoken to you but as soon as i saw your face i instantly was like i know this person that's why i googled you because i was like i know her like i've definitely seen her face like many times so the good thing is is like you got the naomi campbell so you're gonna be looking young forever and now they everybody getting woke you about to be an airbide campaign that's what i said around 33 also don't get specific with the age right i was i had to hit that old girl stride i'm like i'm about to be on the old l'oreal boxes with gray hair i'm like thanks for finally catching up america uh okay i won't have a wrinkle to my name so sorry yeah we're gonna and finally a what's a myth what's something that people think is true you know to be false or what's something

false that you know is wrong what people think is true um okay so a lot of people think yeah oh my god and just cove idiots that think it's a hoax and i'm like oh yeah the hospitals are full so that you have to wear a mask brendan like girl we're joking because i have friends who were i have like two nurse friends one pa friend he'd be so mad if i didn't mention him which is a physician's assistant there we go i didn't run that bitch jake that was for you i love you i'm over here like production assistant exactly because he's like i'm pa i'm like girl you hold the camera yeah operating room oh they're like oh you wrangle the cable right yeah that's a key grip i used to do that oh shit i used to pick up confetti up with my bare hands i don't know

what that i have a degree i'm sorry i used to work in like real competition reality shows and like in the finales when the winner was all these confetti cannons would go off and they would send out the army of pas to clean up the set but they're only like five vacuums and like four brooms and they're like yo we got to turn this shit around and i'm like okay well they're like okay well some of y'all just gonna pick shit up with their hands it was like a group but it was like 40As vacuuming people on their knees. I'm over here like, bro, I got a fucking degree. I'm out here grinding this way up. They have brooms at Dollar Tree. Get them brooms.

Come on, Fox. Sometimes being a PA is like hazing. I was on the set of Insecure, and I remember somebody just said cone, like into a walkie-talkie, and eight people came out of the bushes to get one cone out of the street i was like damn y'all got money money and i'm sure they all went to harvard miles yeah right i'm sorry right yeah really okay but back to the physician's assistant oh okay so they're all they're they're telling me they're stressed the fuck out.

Yeah. Like, Oh my God, like this is happening. That's happening. The hospitals are full. Like some people don't know what to do, but some people aren't properly trained on this.

Some people like, and I'm like, they're not making this up. They're not coming home to tell me like that. Like, yeah, this isn't really going on. And so I'm just sick of people being like,

well, I'm not wearing a mask and I'm going to do whatever I want. I'm like, Oh, America, the America, the beautiful america the narcissist there you go right narcissism and it's collective narcissism there's been some i think we'll get into that later this week just some psychological like the phenomenon of like national narcissism that can take over the political identity not just sort of like in individual things but like there's a mode of thinking that

washes over an entire nation or group of people within a individual things but like there's a mode of thinking that washes over an entire nation or group of people within a country and yeah absolutely there's there's no you know narcissists can't admit that anything went wrong and nothing has gone wrong there are no mistakes everything is is wonderful fantastic and one of the best dna of the it is it is it's mob mentality oh one of the best signs i've seen from COVID, from this whole COVID thing is because they're trying to open the schools again in the fall. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's school is not opening. Let's get back to that.

But yeah, I'm like, how come the wealthy elite schools aren't opening? I think it's because they know something and they want to, yeah, no, anyway. So in one of the signs that it said, why do you want to open the schools when you don't listen to the educated? They don't listen to educated.

They're not listening to scientists. No, there's not one scientist on the corporate response team. They have a handbag designer, which is Ivanka Trump and a bunch of idiots. And so I'm like, what is happening? I think it's what it's going to do is it's going to kick off a massive teacher strike. Good. That's what's good. And I think that's who we need to be able to support and like those

teachers and then we also need to support everybody who is going to be fighting evictions um and the lack of support that is coming from the federal government those are the people that we need to actually keep our eye on because i mean it's we got a we got a system of governance and leaders that are absolutely not interested in helping people. So unfortunately, we got to be the good Americans. Yeah, absolutely. Because over 70% of teachers are women and they're underpaid. They're overworked.

And honestly, people just want to bring the schools back so that they can get the free child care back in place so that they can force everyone to go back to work. And by everyone right it's just poor people that they're talking to that's what's so sad about american narcissism is like we're all just cutting off our nose to spite our face like i i the amount of people i see on twitter and on the internet in general defending billionaires like if i had that much money i wouldn't pay taxes either and i'm like do you realize that your suffering is a direct result of these people not paying their taxes because of al-qaeda black people and brown people okay nope my aunt is on a bill right now covid is real yeah and that's the thing now at this point with the the way the

numbers are increasing there's a really good chance that most americans know someone or know of someone who has had covid or has even passed away like that's just the math the math now it's like almost it's hard to be like i don't know anybody um i mean they're yeah i mean i had a a boss of mine's uh husband pass away last week very suddenly uh from it from a few jobs i worked a few years ago very tragically and it's just it and and these weren't people who i knew to be particularly like out there being reckless or anything like that but it just shows you man like we are still blood and bone flesh and blood human bodies that have the same weaknesses and some people are weaker than others but just because we have more money that does not change the fact that

we're out here walking around the same blood bags as everybody else. You know, health is wealth. Yeah. All right, so let's take a 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.

slash bodyandsoul. Taking better care of yourself is just a click away. And we are back. Let's quickly talk about vaccines you know i think a lot of people are you know wishing what how do we get back to regularly scheduled programming or at the very least the idea that i could go somewhere and i could be safe i think that's the thing we're all chasing and now we're hearing about there there's, I think about around five vaccines now that are moving into like this phase three efficacy testing, which is basically meant to see if these vaccines will actually prevent the disease that they are designed for. And so

Moderna is this pharmaceutical company that made a lot of big splash when they first said they had a vaccine that had promising results. And now they're going to be working a trial with up to 30,000 volunteers with their new vaccine. But this is, okay, it sounds promising, but it's going to take months. This isn't just like, okay, like they phase three, this thing's about to come out. No, they have to test it. But the other thing that's interesting is this company, Moderna, when they first announced it, everyone was like, oh, great, we've got this vaccine coming out. The stock price went up. And then a little bit later on, a bunch of their C-suite people dumped a ton of their stock and made a bunch of money. And then some scientists were like, I don't know if they can actually prove all this. And then the

stock prices went down slightly. And people were suddenly like, what is going on with this company? I mean, they seem to be going right along. But if I recall correctly, that was- That sounds like a scam if I've heard of one. Yeah. They were like, hey, yeah, we got the vaccine. It's going to come out next Tuesday. Uh-huh, uh-huh. And after they sold off their stock, they were like, actually, y'all, when we said Tuesday,

we made several months from now. Oh, you heard that? Oh, okay. The thing that's interesting is when they first came out like the things that are written is like the the like biotech's most biotech's most secretive startup so you know not if it's on the news yeah right so we'll see what happens with that i think again everyone is looking for you know that like these uh therapeutic treatments and vaccines as a way to for us to even begin to think of returning to normal, whatever that looks like after this. But I think the other thing

that's super interesting to think about is like at the same time, this whole pandemic has brought out a whole new crowd of anti-vaxxers. So what happens then when you even do have a vaccine? Because you have a there's a whole group of people who are convinced Bill Gates is just trying to get the microchip in them with this vaccine. Like that very specific thing of that's what's going down. That's what this vaccine is about. Bill Gates wants to put a microchip in me. And just to walk that back for people to understand, cause every, all these things start with some kind of truth. It was a sense of not that Bill Gates wants anything to do the microchips, but there was a technology about these quantum dots. Like if you got a vaccine that it would react to light. So if you had the vaccine, there was a way for someone to just tell

very quickly if you had received these vaccinations. So like in the developing world and you don't have these like very robust charts for people, it's like there was a way just to have a light reaction to be like, okay, this person is has had this vaccination. They took that to then be like and see Bill Gates, Microsoft. He's working. He's been talking about a pandemic. Therefore, the vaccine put a microchip in you and 5G will set it off. Carrie Hilson was on Beyonce's Internet saying that 5G was giving people coronavirus. Oh, Carrie.

I was like, girl, I know those checks may not still be coming in for what sometimes love knocks you down. Oh, boy. But like, come on now. Oh, Carrie Hilson. I have. Throwback. Wow.

Throwback for your nerves. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Apparently when love knocked her down, she hit her head pretty hard because she was definitely on the internet saying that 5G was giving you corona. What was her biggest hit? First name, Carrie. Yeah.

What about the... How'd it go? The way I are. The way I are. That's what I remember. The way I are, right? I'm not Beyonce. I about the... How'd it go? The way I are. The way I are. That's what I remember. The way I are, right? I'm not Beyonce. I wanna be...

I feel bad for anyone who wants to be Beyonce. It's just not gonna work out. Even Solange carved out her own lane. Yeah. She had to. She got real ethereal. Bought a lot of plants. That was smart.

Exactly. You gotta get the wicker furniture and just carve your own lane, honey. Exactly. Don't try to be Beyonce. Don't do it. I get tired of thinking about Beyonce. That's how hard she works.

Yeah, no, it's exhausting. I'm not doing that. Let her have that. Yeah, she can take that one. Okay. Let's move on to a little bit of a white supremacy fuckery roundup. It's the white supremacist roundup. Wow.

So let's just first, I want to talk about the feds cracking down, going into cities and all the news being about, look at these goons. They're in our cities. Are they identifying themselves? They're snatching people up. What do we do? Is this a slip into authoritarianism? Yes, it is a slip into authoritarianism. But I think what's really important, too, is to understand is that with the way they've cracked down, they've very quickly turned these protests, which were about systemic racism, overfunded police departments and the over policing of vulnerable areas and neighborhoods, particularly ones with people of color in them, that that is what was bringing people to the streets. them, that that is what was bringing people to the streets.

And especially with Portland, a lot of many of these people had grievances with their local police department and with the all of the these murders that were happening by police in the country. That's what brought people out. But with this response, the conversation has completely been shifted away from any kind of real discussion around that and And it's just been completely centered around this like brutalizing of protesters by federal troops. And it's now become about Trump versus the idea of protest rather than is systemic racism an issue in this country? Do we have an issue with our police just acting with impunity? And is this a conversation we're

having? and that just shows you again how quickly white supremacy can reassert its dominance because like that we are not talking about it anymore we are now talking about something completely different it's very uh it's just been a it's it's been interesting to see how little i've even heard to your point like on mainstream news of people actually talking anymore to people who are asking like doing covering the peaceful protests that are still going on um and the other activism that's happening and it's now just like this whole constitutional crisis which i understand that is this is also terrible terrible shit uh but i think what it has allowed is this country to avoid an actual reckoning again with the issues that brought people to the streets.

The attention span is just so fickle when it comes to discrimination, especially when it comes to Black Lives Matter and everything that we've been trying to accomplish. I literally have been on so many damn racist Zoom calls and so many town halls and so many damn DEI consultants and race relation consultants just because everybody who is black and brown kind of realized like, oh, we got to hop on it before white people forget. They're going to forget. We got two months before they stop posting. Right. But it's really exhausting how good Donald Trump is at changing the national conversation. I mean, just because he's exhausted everyone with his ridiculous behavior so much that nothing even lasts in the news cycle like it used to. Like, I always say, like, remember when Obama wore a tan suit and that was news for like two weeks? Yeah.

Or when Michelle had her arms out and people lost their minds. Right. Now Donald Trump retweets white supremacists saying white power and that's news for like less than 24 hours yeah that's what's disturbing right is like they're even the even the media's appetite for the scandals also diminish so it's like as soon as that dies out they're gonna try and they're like well it's something else that the media wants to talk about and then the president will be only more than happy to oblige with some other escalation on top of how bad it is to the point where I again, I think we talk about this. We can only imagine how potentially bad the election could be, given how this man is handling peaceful protests and sending people into these into these American cities and just hitting people between the eyes with like non-lethal

rounds but causing disabling brain damage like thing people yeah it's absolutely unheard but this is this is like what this is the whole thing of it you know the this country's very good just because it's deep deep in our subconscious to avoid a reckoning with these kinds of things that it's much easier now i think for people to be like i'd rather just get angry at police for snatching people up in the federal government it was a lot of emotional labor to really pick apart systemic racism and any participation i may or may not have had in it and what to do now it's much easier to just move to the new thing which is the take that police police bad and not go much deeper than that.

Yeah. And what really annoys me about the whole police bad thing, because it's a lot of like Trump supporters that are like, oh, they're sending people in and this is getting crazy. I'm like, I thought you guys you said you didn't want big government governing over you. Why the hell did you vote in Trump? And then are your guns protecting you now? Because you guys fought tooth and nail for those guns to keep all your guns. Because it was never about that. And you're not using them because are you going to protect your family now when he's got his AK-47

and his unmarked suit? I'm just saying I've got questions for you. People that defended this shit tooth and nail just to keep your racist flag and to keep your racist ways. But that's what it was. It was just to keep the racism. It was never about the constitution because they've they've contradicted themselves like in the most textbook way of taking the antithetical opinion on something you went from oh my god they can't what's next they're gonna put mass and troops are gonna force masks on us

and then cut to well the cops shot that woman who was on her porch because they said to get inside when it was a curfew. And when the government says, go inside, you have to listen. So in the end, it's always just about how can I make sure that I'm not, you know, I'm actually taking away the ability for, you know, marginalized people to actually attain equality. So then I can use all these other arguments in de-racialized language to actually attain equality so then i can use all these other arguments in deracialized language to actually still advocate for a very racist agenda so if it's not you know your right to bear arms it's my right to pull a gun on a black person if i don't like them in

my neighborhood it was never about fighting a tyrannical government so yeah i think that's and that's what's exhausting about white supremacy is that it's just constantly being gaslit by people who know what they're doing. And every, you know, term that we come up with, they somehow take from us and weaponize like, you know, for hating Negroes, white people, you guys sure are obsessed because we've been our own little corner of the Internet. But mine and I own damn business. Next thing I know, here you come to my, you woke SWJs. Why are you over here? We wasn't talking to you about woke. I'm still mad about for shizzle.

Why people took for shizzle for me, and it was only a week. I only have for shizzle for a week. I want for shizzle back. Don't forget about fleek week. How quickly that was going to. Oh, fleek, on fleek. I know, they took fleek from us. I forgot fleek. We can't us i forgot we can't have nothing

we can't have nothing so much leave us alone no and the other thing is white people i need you to listen real clear okay every white person listen to this historically y'all are more violent than us why are you so afraid of us like you have raped and pillaged your way to the top of the food chain and of course you're afraid of revenge but there's only 13 of the population that is black people why are you so scared why are you so scared if we're not a threat if we wanted to don't think we haven't thought about it yeah there aren't enough of us hopefully haven't listened to hip-hop since the 80s so there's nothing there's no themes like that in any of the music but i think you know i think subconsciously there are people that feel that there's a karmic debt on some level that there is something that objectively you're like damn that would suck if you were a slave but

thank god i'm not so therefore whatever but i know that's bad but that's not me so fuck it i'm just gonna stop thinking about it there but it makes me a little bit uncomfortable to think about what i would feel like but you know what i don't have to so i'm gonna keep keep it moving but it's that guilt and also the the the way that this country is built obviously we've talked about the narcissistic nature of the u.s but also there is this culture where everyone is afraid to be wrong everyone's afraid like like i don't understand how we got to a point as a society where learning new information and having your opinion change because of that is embarrassing

you would think that that would be a badge of honor that you were like oh i said this dumb thing and then i actually learned some stuff and i read some things and now i'm not as dumb as i was yesterday but but it's like this thing of like strong and wrong so there's so many people who i think know better now um but they won't do better because it feels like a failure yeah to have to say that you were wrong about something yeah and you'd rather not it's like rather than apologize you know to my like when you're in high school like rather than apologize to my my whatever my person i'm dating at the time i'll just i'll just not say anything get in a fight and then just keep it moving because i'm not big enough to do that and i will continue this toxic relationship with whatever it is and I think yeah there's no ability to to come around to that so along with

all of that I mean honestly to round that to round that out though it's a toxic relationship with yourself because you don't want to have those hard conversations with yourself that we all have to have all the time like you know what I was wrong about that and I need to clear my shuck like I need to clear my shit because that was that was kind of racist. I don't know why I thought that. It's actually OK. Yeah, it's OK to think that. Just maybe make sure you check yourself.

We've talked about this late. There's not a person that has talked on these microphones that anyone who has listened to, no matter if you're black, white, Asian, everyone has these thoughts of internalized racism that you have to actually parse through whether that's some of them are aimed at yourself yeah exactly being like oh should i should i get aggressive about this or am i going to be looked at as being angry or should i speak up in this sense or can i not again it affects everybody but to your point it's very freeing to just say i was wrong about that. And actually, the problem was all these years, I was always just holding on to this defensiveness because I didn't want to get into a conversation about why I'm right wrong on this subject. That's all the stress was about. I can just free myself and say, you know what?

I'm willing to learn more about this. It will fucking feel instantly better. Amazing. Guilt attached. No guilt attached. You're like, you know what? I learned something and that is perfectly fine yes i wish people realized how good it feels to do honestly even if it's just for the scam purpose of disarming people there's no better way to disarm someone than being like i didn't have enough information i'm sorry i'm learning

and and that's it yes yes but you would rather fight with people for days and die on hills you know just try to keep your pride why it's like the terry cruz method y'all don't be a terry cruz when you could be a chance the rapper don't be oh no no when you could be one level above chance love saying dumb shit but then when the internet comes and gets him together, he's like, I love my wife. Hey, sorry. All right. So let's move on to speaking. I want to talk about Senator Tom King Cotton with the hot takes, because this Arkansas senator. I mean, if his name wasn't enough, if you didn't have an idea where Tom Cotton, what planet he was sending his takes from. I think it's pretty clear.

He has black friends. Generational agricultural family in Arkansas for about eight generations. So I'm sure there's some receipts to be had. So he's been raising his stock in the hot take economy recently. The last time we heard from him, or at least the mainstream was talking about him,

was when he wrote his send in the military op ed in The New York Times. And he was like, these people are asking for equality. You know what that means? No, I don't. But I think it just meant brutalize these people who are asking for equality. Yeah. The American way, actually. And, you know, that caused a ton of problems at The New York Times.

Caused a bunch of moving around, feelings to be hurt, people leaving. And so now he has decided to fully get his fucking head ripped off with this new crusade against. And how do I put this? His crusade against, I guess, teaching accurate history about slavery. So he is really he like he has this thing about the 1619 Project. OK, the Pulitzer Prize winning piece that was in The New York Times. Basically, you know, that was saying that there's and I think most people knew this. At least people who respected history and most African-Americans, black people in this country knew that this country was built on a foundation of slavery.

And without the financial gains of slavery, this country has no leg to stand on. There is no financial power. There's no banking power. There's no infrastructure. This is all on the backs of slaves. And so because of that, Mr. Cotton,

uh-oh, don't tell Mr. Cotton about that. He is now really out here saying, like, it's too extreme because, like, i don't want people knowing that that was what was going on so he's out here he gave a bit of an interview with a paper in arkansas and he said quote we have to study the history of slavery and its role and impact on the development of our country because otherwise we can't understand our country as the founding father said it was the necessary evil upon which the union was built

but the union was built in a way as lincoln said to put slavery on the course to its ultimate extinction extinction now we don't we can when is that huh that's a when is that it's still happening our country is so dependent on slave wages slave labor prison slave labor like who's fighting these fires prison firefighters yeah like what are you talking about it still exists and you're still rounding up black and brown people to keep it going i mean i love the branding like also the other thing is i saw fucking hamilton uh and i'm pretty sure they could have done away with slavery when they signed the motherfucking uh document uh when they got the Constitution going. Because the founding fathers, they could have actually took a stand and say, we're not going to found this.

This country will not be founded on slavery. But they didn't because they wanted to bring it. They said, yeah, well, they got some coins down there because they got these people working these cane fields and these cotton fields. Like, maybe, you know, then we can take that cotton. We can make textiles up here. So, you know, I don't know. Maybe it might work out for everybody. But what we'll do is act like we'll get rid of it down the road.

Let's be real. You started off with a half million slaves. You ended up with four million by the time the Civil War came around. It was never about this ridiculous claim that it was like, oh, yeah, they were just saying it was a couple of chess moves. They're playing 4D chess with slavery because we saw how well that went. 4D chess was slavery because we saw how well that went. I do want to bring up this soundbite, though, because Tom Cotton went on Fox and even on Fox, they read this quote back to him. And this man, again, you want to talk about narcissism, not being able to even say, answer in the affirmative that a quote directly from an interview you gave to a newspaper

is somehow not your words. Listen to this nonsense. Here's part of your interview with the Arkansas Democratic Gazette. Quote, we have to study the history of slavery and its role and impact on the development of our country because otherwise we can't understand our country. As the founding fathers said, it was the necessary evil upon which the union was built. But the union was built in a way, as Lincoln said, to put slavery on the course to ultimate extinction. Some say that was insensitive. Well, that is fake news, Brian. That's not what I said. What I said is that many founders believed that only with the union and the Constitution could we put slavery on the path to its ultimate extinction.

That's exactly what Lincoln said. Of course, slavery is a evil institution in all its forms at all times. OK, so what I said was he didn't say much about anything. Now, this is a this is a case of are you going to believe me or your lying ears? Right. It's like or my eyes i just heard also like necessary necessary evil that come that's not necessary it was not necessary house of darion house of darion was a necessary evil you know what i mean to get to where we are now i don't know behind that i'm sorry yeah that had to happen i'm sorry i just feel

like that yeah well that's it was hard it was hard but look where we got but look where we got uh you know justin we got to ivy park that was a necessary evil right get to ivy park but this is what i will say it was just that the colonizer had jumped out like the colonizer jumped out and he was like yeah we needed to enslave these negroes how else were we gonna get these houses and it's like no that see that's how you justify doing so you can justify anything anything and and unfortunately there's a lot of white folks who still like that's it's the same thing with the police brutality it's a lot of white folks who are like well maybe maybe they weren't listening to the police or maybe they weren't

respecting them i'm like i don't ever see white people respecting the police every time i see a white woman talk to police she's like you raggedy bitch give me your badge number do you know who my father is like but then if but if i'm black and around the police are like i don't know why she moved her arm like that that's why they put 12 bullets in her what like you can justify anything and tom cotton obviously is like a raging racist aholic i mean his last name was like the fabric of our life honey the fabric of this nation yeah right no the other thing is i want us to stop calling them the founding fathers because they ain't found shit we built the whole thing for free i don't think so the founding fathers were a bunch of black people

that were enslaved. Yeah, or they found some land to steal from indigenous people. Either way, it's not really, it's not the same thing. But I think that's the romanticization of it all that we need, I think. And we've talked about that.

Yeah, and especially with Hamilton, like when we were discussing that, it's sort of, you need to have a romantic view of how this country started to be able to think like, this couldn't have just been some greedy business people who were who were like yo we're gonna blow this land out real quick and make some fucking coin bro like i fuck fuck these taxes from the british like come on we'll fight these fools let's start making some money we can use this slave labor and let's just see where it goes from there and we will expand this country because you know i think god said i could take everything based on manifest manifest destiny okay manifest destiny uh man uh man i fest anyway so this whole thing i think is an

interesting uh it's a necessary that's a necessary evil i think is for people to have this very innocent idea of how the country was started because yeah it's it's very possible that it it may have started with much darker goals in mind. And that's just where we're at. That's why it's on us to make it better. So with that, let's take a quick break and we'll come 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.

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.

Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And this is just something i saw in tmz and i you know uh my head shook it was an smh moment or smdh moment uh for me uh i just read that you know post malone is going to be starting the world pong, which will be operating official beer pong tournaments, competitions, events, and expeditions. And I just don't, I don't know.

I mean, I get people love the beer pong, but there's something about it that is so unsettling for me when I see people taking beer pong very seriously and they're not 19. It is one of the most unsanitary games you could play in the time of covid 19 i'm like you're getting a ball off the floor to rinse in a little cup of water to go put back into some other cups you're going to other people and no one's really keeping track of the cups bad timing post malone yeah bad timing to do anything that's just even

remotely unsanitary or i guess yeah what they do is like if you're playing the woke version of beer pong it's like well you have playing cups and those are just water and those are balls you don't drink from those and then you have your drinking cups but either way i mean yeah it's i don't know why i had such a visceral reaction to this because you know i don't i i had i was a young person too at a party where yeah that's you just need fun ways to drink rather than thinking about your childhood and letting that motivate your drinking so yes on one level i'm like yeah this is this is fun but i think recently i've seen so many like weird etsy pinterest posts of like these creepy like sort of racist white people with their like beer pong tables that have like blue lives matter and stuff

this is what happens when you start dark scroll the web and rage scrolling stupid websites you get into these these dark pits but yeah i just uh i got the shivers to get about beer pong his target audience for that i just don't want to see them at the polls in november i mean i've okay i've gone to a party at post malone's house i don't know if it was his house or if it was a place that he rented but is it the one that has all the instruments and the wild swords everywhere maybe did it have like clear stairs yes yeah yeah yeah that's the one and it was um it was a cute party he had a nice setup he might be very skilled in the art of throwing parties and maybe he thought he could brand it it's crazy that you say the blue lives matter beer pong because i'm just like imagine being that dedicated to racism that you need merch yeah like who i need i need to let these people know how much i hate them these

were fans who are like i'm i'm making my own custom this is customized blue lives matter i want them to know i back the blue okay i'm not even a police officer. I just want to see him keep killing. I'm back the blue and against you know who. Yes. It doesn't affect me. 100%. I'm about to start cashing in on this. If I'm going to be a real scammer, I can start selling some racism merch. Blue Lives Matter stuff.

And it's black owned. Right, right, right. Black owned blue lives. Yes. It's just a low key-owned blue lives. Yes. It's just a low-key, like, crip fundraising webpage. Yes. You know they're incorporated, right? The crips?

Yes. Or the Bloods, too? They have an LLC. I don't know if the Bloods are, but I know that, for a fact, the crips were having a whole dispute with Nipsey Hussle over the Marathon clothing brand. Because they are a gang with an LLC. They're a business. Well, you know, like you said, the Marathon clothing brand because they are a gang with an LLC. They're a business. Well, you know, like you said,

the Marathon does continue because you gotta get that paper. Gangs are another part of white supremacy because they make it look so beautiful when it's about the mob and the mafia.

But don't let it be black people and then it's a gang and it must be stopped. I'm like, hold the fuck up, Frank Sinatra. Last I checked, y'all were in a gang too. And so your mob ties are gang ties.

Just so y'all know, we're onto the bullshit. The veil is lifted. We've had a lot of time to think with no employment. So I'm just saying, all this shit isn't adding up. Gang activity is gang activity. So don't. The other one thing I do want to say, I don't know if you like Post Malone's music, but I remember in 2018, he got in trouble because he was like i don't make hip-hop music or some shit like that

and people are like you are a fool sir please get out of my face if it's not hip-hop what is it genre what he basically disrespected the genre of music being like if you want quality music then you need to be listening to like country or journey or another genre he was like because he got into uh hip-hop because he couldn't make a successful career and like i think he was like an indie music or something like that yeah like where he was originally singing and so he got into hip-hop and he was like it's so easy i just get on a track and babble and i got face tattoos and i don't shower he's a fake that just means you're a phony you just made you gotta get in yeah i think like anybody like a scam you know if they see an opening dude just fucking get in and see where the fuck where it leads you but i remember when his first

song came out when white iverson came out like i think a full year before i hit on the radio uh this woman i know you know shout out to her as white girl. Who's like, he's like, this is the next hip. Oh, you got to hear this dude's track post Malone, man.

White Iverson, like it's going off. And I'm like, really? And I listened to it and I was like, oh, okay. Like I see that it's fine,

but like, I'm not, I'm not going to be buying this album. And it was funny though, because like when it got on the radio, I was like, damn, she really did.

How? Even though I was so dismissive of this man. Was she the hood healer? No. She might as well have been. Shit. She also did mention coronavirus. Now that I think about it.

Oh, shit. I'm out. And that was in 2013. Damn. Okay. One last thing before I go I want to talk about is just some of the movies that are being delayed postponed post malone and james cameron he's come out you know he said look avatars two through fucking five because i think there's like there's supposed to be five totals

like yeah this is gonna be delayed for a little bit uh because obviously the pandemic so avatar two isn't gonna come out till 2022 apparently avatar 5 is slated to come out in 2028. I don't understand how the fuck they really- Isn't James Cameron old? Yes. Right, is he going to make it to ice? Yeah, I was like, do you know how far that is? I mean, right now, James Cameron is 65 years old.

Okay, that's not as old as I thought. So he'll be in his early 70s, I mean, he'll be, you know, he'll be there, but I think, look, when you have the will, there's a way to make nonsensical movies.

You mean the healthcare? Yeah, that way. Right. The coins. The money, the money. Hold up. Hold up. If you can pay your life bill

to stay alive in this draconian reality we're in. And honestly, it's been so long since the first Avatar. Is Avatar 2 going to be like Pocahontas 2? Because then we kind of don't need it. What was Pocahontas 2?

Her in the UK? Pocahontas and John Ralph. I'm just saying Avatar was just Pocahontas with aliens. It's the same damn story. I'm like, are we really doing this? Or Fern Gully. It's like everyone's got the same thing. It's Fern Gully.

Save this whimsical, save this place, outsider. Right. Pocahontas 2 yeah whereas no one I didn't even know there was a Pocahontas 2 I'm like what happened after the colonization like what's Pocahontas 2 she got that pussy colonized and she had to move over to England with John Rupp

that's what happened she married him and became a white woman she really shouldn't have did that. Historically, that's really a really dark, dark story. It's a very dark story, yeah. That's the whole thing when you just realize, too, and then as a kid, you're like, Pocahontas! And then you learn about history and you almost second-guess the history

book. You're like, well, hold on, because Miko was not looking. That was the vibe Miko gave me. Miko represents the rape that these white men did to her. Right. It's also like those tweets now that are like the did not was the vibe Miko gave me. Miko represents the rape that these white men did to her. Right. It's also like those tweets now that are like the movie villain, the actual villain. The whole movie time you think Coco-Wum was the villain, but

Coco-Wum was woke as fuck. He was like should I marry Coco-Wum? I was eight years old like Coco-Wum is fine as hell. I was like what is she doing? I was affected i was did you see that chest come on now yes he's serious girl serious for this so the other movies the other disney movie that's also getting disrupted

is the mulan uh live action that's just they pulled that shit. It's like, okay, we thought August 21st is going to work. Now quiet place. That sequel is not going to happen until next year. The, uh, also Wonder Woman sequel. Yeah. As well.

I know they've toyed possibly with that streaming, but they said for sure tenant isn't, it's probably the same with Wonder Woman 1984, but, um, this is just so funny. Like, so the movies that are coming out,

there's this one, there's like an the movies that are coming out there's this one there's like an indie film that came out recently that's gonna come out in theaters in august called fatima and it's like a described as a catholic themed drama but it had a hollywood premiere and what's just funny is like it was at a drive-in and the like red carpet the step and step and repeat was just people like in their in their car like rolling the window down like in the driver's side and just taking a quick photo out the window i really hope my car was washed that day and that's why i bring to y'all because if you look in the the example we have in the doc like it's i think it's just you know someone having to do in the film she's in her prius looking pretty

good it's not dusty as like my car would look but like if that was the case knowing that if that's where our red carpet culture went are y'all what are what are y'all doing in this instance how do you set yourself apart do you rent a car because is the dress moot if you're if the car is what they're seeing now on the carpet i would have to dress for my car so um yeah i would dress for my car just so we can be we can. It looks like we're a couple. Right. OK, so what do you do at the next event, though? I dress even more like my car until I become my car.

Right, right, right. I'm going to be a transformer at the fifth event. I am the car. She's a go bot now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a Decepticon, just like the Republicans thought the whole time. I'm trying to figure out, like, do I even need to wear pants if it's going to be in the car? Or do I still want people to see my shoes? Do I need to stick my feet

out the window? Right, maybe. You can stick them out upwards. Interesting. You know, you got some flexibility moment. Or do you just kind of hold your outfit out the window?

They're like, look, this is the shoes I'll wear with the dress. Kind of envision that. You don't put it on. You just hold it out the window. Yeah, you just hold it out. You're like, that's kind of what i'm working with okay this is hard to sit in yeah and then do you think like you know how like photographers on the step and repeat like they

have like that cheat sheet with everyone's faces but now it just turns to cars like making models they're like oh you're right yeah you're in the chevrolet corvette the toyota highlander is also that would be very revealing because you know you can be famous and not be rich Yeah. And the Chevrolet Corvette is. The Toyota Highlander is. Also, that would be very revealing because, you know, you can be famous and not be rich. So, you know, people probably would be pulling up. Yeah. I think that's a good thing people should realize, too, because people think. I come on my bike.

People think because they hear you on TV or the radio or whatever that that suddenly means you're like in the next level of existence being like, yeah so basically i live in a gold-plated everything uh and i have my like of my support staff everything like no sometimes i drive everywhere in my prius that i bought used okay that's just how it goes because uh the jobs don't come all the time yeah no like people think a blue check mark equals a million dollars every month and i'm like girl i ain't seen a million dollars in my entire life so maybe we try that one again i'm like no blue check mark means i had a i had a contract with nbc once that's all that means okay i'm glad they didn't take it and it means i got in before all the nazis did and they stopped giving people blue check marks exactly so the other thing that's coming out this one film that has not been affected negatively is

this movie called unhinged uh starring russell crowe and this movie like it's this is wild because they've been so aggressive about their marketing and getting people to know about this film that even like in the midst of the pandemic they were like one of the few films that were being overly aggressive about opening they're like look man like let's push our release date earlier because there's a whole void being left in like the block and the box office with new films so let's just get people into the theaters or whatever because there's nothing else to watch so what else you gonna do uh so when brussel crow he was in this and they was asked about it he said his answer to like a question like we, what do you think about this sort of aggressive push to open when there's a pandemic going on? He says, somebody's got to do it.

Look, Russell, I liked Gladiator, but I ain't about to go breathe in COVID to watch you in a movie. You're the last person I'm about to go to the movies for, Russell. He doesn't even drop panties anymore. I'm not really interested. This whole thing is the film uh is all about basically this is the one of just the quick sort of logline of it says after a conference after a confrontation with an unstable man at an intersection a woman becomes the target of his rage. It's a road, the road rage is like the inciting incident

in this entire film. And it's male and female violence. Yes. Groundbreaking. Which I've never heard of Russell Crowe because, I mean,

whether or not you believe what Azalea Banks said or what, you know, reports of him fighting his own bodyguard or when he threw a phone at somebody at a hotel. It's not like Russell Crowe. This is completely out of character for him as he doesn't really need this press

can we just stop with the white male rage shows you know those are yeah those are left over and from that development pipeline you know right they must be they're like we got to still release it because i'm like damn we get it we get to see white men be angry every day all day we don't need to see it on the movie when the Joker movie came out my friends are like have you seen Joker I'm like to see a white it's okay

I turn on channel 8 if I want to see that I don't need to turn on the movie that's just what life is isn't it angry white men it's our president like what do you mean our president is that he is the joker it literally literally that's yeah the thing is like within so now it's been like this hot potato with nobody knows what who wants to release it so now it's being released by a new studio and they are not putting it on streaming they're so they're like

they are state they are steadfast in saying, quote, it's big screen only, end quote. Who? Nobody needs that. That's not the kind of movie I want to see, like, coming out of a pandemic. I'm like, finally, I can see a movie. It's like, let me see, like, Russell Crowe road rage

against some, like, some woman who's scared to death in her car. Like, that's, I don't need that. Right, some nice little white lady. You know that's what it's going to be. Some nice white lady who probably was looking at her phone and now Russell Crowe's got a killer. Like, what? Something that would have me break pandemic

would be like a Devil Wears Prada where we hear Meryl's side of the story. I'd be like, bitch, I'm going to the movies. Right. Like, this is going to be good. And they give you Molly at the door. They're like, you know, you probably want to take a B when you see this. Michael B. Jordan in something where for some reason he has to wear a loincloth the whole time.

And it's very windy. I'm also down. And you get to see penetration. Yeah. There is. I will break. Pandemic. This is something we can do.

I'm like, I want to see celebrities fuck on a large screen with other people next to me. There you go. Speaking of that, it's getting wild now. I don't know if either of you watch P-Valley, but P-Valley, it's on Starz. It's basically Skin and Max, honey. Starz is porn.

Starz is porn. They showing a penis on there and they show the ejaculation and they show the titties. They show porn. Stars is porn. Because they're showing a penis on there, and they show the ejaculation, and they show the penis. They show it on Vida, too. Also, I'm sorry. I was like, what is happening? They show ejaculating on TV now? Penis.

Yes, they have. At what part? Like, you see it come out the dick? Or it's just the aftermath? It was on his stomach. It was on his stomach. I was like, that's too much. Oh, no.

Put the kids to bed. Who said we needed this? Who said we needed this? What the fuck? Also, is this on demand? No, Stars is $12 a month. I totally pay for it. I'm happy about equality, but I was like, this is a porn show.

This ain't no damn TV show. If I saw something was casting and it was on Stars, I would have doubt. Right, right. Immediately, like, what's going on? Do I have to show my asshole? Right, I ain't showing stars my booty hole. This is about Susan B. Anthony's asshole.

And then you get there. We're gonna watch her get her ass rimmed. Like, casting's just gonna need you to spread it. We also have a flashlight. We really need to put the flashlight up. It's gonna be a double polyp check as well. But we want it to be historically

accurate, okay? We're not going to mess around with history here. Your booty hole will need to look like Susan's. We have a... And look, just full disclosure, you are reading for the part of the booty hole double. You're like, then what am I reading?

straight men posting pics of buildings to close friends, like their close friends, IG stories. That just I don't know why it sounds like the saddest thing. But I have seen Rand like when you see men use the close friends feature on IG, like you're like, oh, what's going on? And it's like a tennis court. OK, do what you do, do what you got to do. And the other one is from at hello grandpa. It says Joe Rogan be like video games are a waste of time. Then post a two hour podcast debating if a gorilla or a tiger would win in a street fight.

A gorilla would win though. Let's be real. I don't know. I feel like a tiger. I feel like a tiger would win. I'm talking about limb strength. Limb to limb strength. And he does have opposable thumbs

I saw a video where a gorilla Knocked over like six bamboo trees Like it was nothing trying to get to his child And I was like oh But hey this is why This is not that podcast And it's a much better one No two hours let's do it

Alright start the clock over Alright so who's team tiger who's team. Let's do it. All right, start the clock over. All right, so who's Team Tiger? Who's Team Gorilla? Let's just figure that out now. Now that I know the facts, I'm going to go Gorilla. See, and look, we can all admit we learned something. Yeah, you can change your mind. Yeah, I'm now Team Gorilla.

We'll defeat Tiger in the street fight. Now, let's go out on a song. And this song, I've've just been i got into this playlist on uh spotify it's called smooth jazz seascapes instrumentals where this person is basically if you're familiar with the vaporwave genre you know like it's the aesthetic is almost taken off of like music you would hear like in a mall in the late 80s or like a haunted elevator or the weather channel when it just used to be straight graphics and just like bad smooth jazz so for me there's something very comforting about that really cheesy aesthetic and

this playlist on spotify has so many peters on it in in like that corny weight music uh genre so this track is called acoustic from an acoustic alchemy and it's called one for the road and i'm not joking I feel like I feel like I'm in a waiting room for like an appointment my parents dragged me to or some shit

like it's so this whole thing it's weird because look we live in a dystopia now like you might as well just use these your ears to

you know take you back so this is Acoustic Alchemy you're about to be transported to hold for Bank of America yeah truly a time before bills. Yeah, right? You're about to be transported to hold for Bank of America. Yeah, truly, Maurice. A time before bills.
