Hi, Harlan. This is Lisa in Philadelphia, and I'd like to share my underpants story with you. Many years ago, I lived in New Jersey, and it was a usual activity to wake up after a night of drinking, throw on the same dirty clothes you had on the night before, and head over to the diner so you can nurse your hangover with greasy food and coffee. And on this particular day, my husband at the time and I did just that to find that the diner. the diner was very crowded, at which point we decided we would sit at the counter. And as we made our way over to the counter, I realized a few feet from the bar stool that I had

kicked something, soft. At first I thought it was an animal. And then on second inspection, I realized it was a pair of Calvin Klein underpants. I didn't get very close. I got disgusted and quietly said to my husband, oh, my God, that's underpants on the floor. And then when the waitress came to take our order, I looked around and made sure nobody was listening. And I said, excuse me, someone's underpants are on the floor. You might want to get them. And she also disgusted, ran in the back to get a bag or something. And while she was doing that, I started to stink.

and I realized that those, in fact, were my own underpants that I had just kicked out of the leg of my jeans across the diner floor. So I got a great chuckle out of your story, having been there once myself. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks, Harlan. Bye, bye. Oh, my God, Lisa. You've made my day. What a funny story.

Man, this underwear leg just keeps coming. When I first talked about this, I was self-conscious that I was the only one. I thought it was the only buffoon in the world, but listen to all these people. I'm getting more and more calls about underwear leg stories. I'm loving it. That's hilarious. She kicked her own underpants across the diner floor. And then came to the realization, wait a minute.

Those are mine. Those are my Calvin Klein's. Oh, my God. that's so funny. I love it. What a great story. Thank you. And I did a little segment a couple of podcasts back where I talked about, you know, 7-Eleven,

and I asked people if they had any 7-Eleven stories. And later in the show, oh, my God, I've got a hilarious, one of the pavement pounders called in with a sentimental 7-Eleven story, which I think it'll just crack you up. cracked me up. So we're going to play that later on in the show. But right now, let's talk about something a little more sensitive, a little more serious. I'm sure all of you have been following this in the news, the Black Lives Matter movement, where the Black Lives Movement, which some consider a radical group, some consider a racist group,

Some consider them to be peacemakers. Some people think that they're a very important, a group that have a very important social message. There's a lot of different takes on the Black Lives Matter group. They're very outspoken. They're very vocal. They're very loud. They've interrupted a lot of public appearances by prominent prominent politicians, interrupting speeches, interrupting get-togethers.

You know, there's been, sometimes the group's been walking down the streets of New York and various cities, chanting very aggressive and anti-police slogans. And recently in the news, director, prominent director, Quentin Tarantino, got up and joined the Black Lives Matter group, and people interpreted his words as saying that he stands with Black Lives Matter when they say that police officers are murderers. So as you can see, it's very controversial, and we thought best to decipher all this to walk through the Black Lives Matter situation

with a gentleman we had on before a very prominent professor up at Berkeley, Professor Rutherford Grimes, who is a professor of African-American social studies, African-American history, and really has a very deep and knowledgeable understanding of the African-American experience, the African-American culture. And so, Roger, do we have them on the line? Okay, we are going to be talking to Dr. Rutherford Grimes right now and see if we can get some perspective on this very controversial movement.

Thank you so much for having me on the podcast. I'm a regular listener, and I do enjoy the show so much. Well, thank you, Professor Rutherford Grimes, for being here today,

and helping us sift through this time in society that we're going through, where it seems to be volatile, and it seems to be. and there seems to be a lot of racial tension percolating in the air. Yeah, Mr. William, it's very unfortunate, and we have been studying this very closely up here at Berkeley, my students and myself, and much of the faculty up here, we sit around and we discuss this inflamed environment that we are dealing with right now here in the United States of America.

Yeah, it's a little unsettling. You know, I like it when people are living in harmony, and, you know, it just seems to me that all lives matter, and I'm just, I guess I'm, for lack of a better term, I'm a little confused by it all. Well, but maybe today, I suspect that the reason you called me, Mr. Williams, is to get some clarification from the black perspective, as you know, up here, Berkeley.

I am a professor in tenure here for upwards of a couple of decades now, you know, to study in black history, African-American social studies, and so on and so forth. I think you're familiar with my book that I published just about a year ago called Black, Black, Black, Black, White, And it's about black people and white people living together in a harmonious society, Mr. William. Yeah, I haven't read your book, but black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black white. Okay, black, black, black, black, black white. No, Mr. Williams. It's black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black.

I think, okay. I think we have it, a professor. I think people get the gist. Well, okay, then. Can we get to what you feel from your studies, from your conversations, your research, to what you feel is causing this surge in, you know, is it resentment in the black community? Is it a sense that they're being cheated,

that the African-American community feels that they're, not being respected. Where is all this coming from? Well, Mr. William, this all stands from a very logical place. Have you ever heard of the African-American actor of Forrest Whitaker? Yes, Forrest Whitaker. He was the star of The Butler. He's been in countless movies. Everybody, I think, is familiar with Forrest Whitaker. Yeah, and excellent Oscar-winning African-American. and actor, Mr. Williams.

And I think most people would notice about Forles Whitaker. When you look at Forz Whitaker, you cannot help but notice his left eye. Pardon me? His left eye.

His left eye? Yeah, Forlis Whitaker got that bungled up left eye. Bungled up left eye. It all droopy like a look like a basset hound. Somebody kicked a

basket. basketball in a basset hound left eye. Okay, sir. Well, anyway, we have, through our studies up in Berkeley, have found a direct correlation between the unsettledness, if you will, in the African-American community, and Forrest Whitaker left eye. I'm not sure I follow this here, sir. Are you saying that Forrest Whitaker's left eye has,

something to do with the temperament of the African-American community? That's exactly what I'm saying, Mr. William. And if you notice, when False Whitaker left eye all nice and round, everything seemed to be okay copacetic in society. What do you mean all nice and round? Well, every time you see a False Whitaker movie, False Whitaker left eye, something times it's nice and wide and crystal clear, and then other times it all droopy and hanging down, and it looked like his eye half shut, it looked like maybe Fawkes-Wittaker was

water-skinned and, you know, maybe took a face plant right into the water at about 40 mile an hour and just puffed his left aisle out. Um, okay. Um, so what I'm saying, in recent photographs, of false Whitaker, his eye real bad. Here's our real, real bad right now. It looked like a potato eye. You know, like a crinkled-up potato eye.

Okay, a potato eye. I mean, it looked like you ever see a football player in the NFL, Mr. Williams, at the end, when he get a touchdown, he get so excited. He spiked the ball down into the ground. He just throw it down into the astro turn with a maximum force.

Yeah, I mean, we've all seen that. But what happened to that football is because of the oblong shape of that ball, the football, when it hit the astroturf, it always bounce up in an awkward direction. Yeah, I mean, you never know where they're going to fly. And that's exactly what we think happened. Forge Whitaker left eye, it looked like a, you know, like a big, big old football player, 250, 300-pound, you know, football like Adrian Peterson. He slammed that football right into the AstroTurf.

And because, you know, Forrest Whitaker is a gentleman of means. He's a very successful African-American gentleman. So most likely one could assume from that, Mr. Williams, that Forrest Whitaker, when he go to NFL game, Forrest Whitaker sit right down by the sideline. And, well, what he is getting at, sir? Well, what I'm getting is Adrian Peterson slam that victory touchdown football into the Afro turf. And that all-blong football take an awkward bounce at maximum speed right up into Forrest Whitaker left eye because he's sitting right at the edge where that football would just fly right into his left eye.

Just poof it all out. Just puff it all out like, you know, like an old lady chasing a cat. hat off a porch, just smashing it with a broom and whatnot. Ah. Now I'm a little more confused. What I'll say, Mr. William, it seemed like every time Foss Whitaker left eye get agitated and puff up, it seemed that the African-American community does so at the same time. And so, as I said earlier, there's a direct correlation to, uh,

Forrest Whitaker left eye, and the civil unrest he sees spread in across the United States of America. Hold on. You're up in Berkeley, sir. That's right, Berkeley. You're doing social studies on the African-American community. Right now there's a lot of civil unrest. And you're saying that this is all being fueled in correlation to use your words. when Forrest Whitaker's left eye is

all fangled up as you put it and agitated the African American community gets agitated at the same time and that's exactly you nailed it on the head Mr. William when Forrest Whitaker left eye on nice and clear

like you look through it with a magnifying glass or he got a monocle on there like Shula Home or the peanut, Mr. Peanut from the Mr. Peanut Duck, television commercial. You got that one monocle. That's clear, round eye. It seemed to African-American community, very content, feel very assimilated with the rest of the population, the other ethnic group, the Asian, the Latino, the white community.

But Mr. Williams, when Ford's Liddick and Whitaker left eye get all popped up, When it looked like maybe, you know, someone walked into him at a nightclub and punched him in the left eye or maybe, you know, he was in someone's house to help him with the plumbing and someone turned the water on. The water go right down in his eye and all full of bacteria and dirt and popped it. He got red eye. He got stink eye, Mr. William. Okay. Boy, oh, boy.

I know you're a credited professor, and it's not for me to challenge your credentials, sir. But isn't this reaching a little bit? Mr. William, look, the world working a funny place. We're living in a modern society now, and, you know, Forrest Whitaker-Leafire tell the story right there. And right now, Forrest Whitaker-Leafire, I mean, it looked like, you know, someone threw a pineapple across a... cafeteria, and that pineapple just happened to land right and forth. Whitaker left eye. And it all puff up and dangly and runny like,

you ever get a, go to Denny's and get a nice, you know, egg over easy? Oh, sir. All runny like that. And all, I just, it caused all kinds of problem. And it's what you cut into the Black Life Matter. Okay. I think I might have to end it right here, sir. Well, I think we've gone through what we needed to get through.

I don't know that we did. I'm not sure that any African-Americans listening right now could relate to what you just said, and I might even think they might be a bit insulted. Well, it is a tough time that African-American going through transitional time right now. They're making huge social adjustments. in the community and sometimes these things are not easy to hear and the sooner that the african-american

community recognized that when force whitaker left aisle flamed up look like somebody threw a barbecue in his face then they're going to realize that okay sir i i think we've had enough with that thank thank you for calling in well anytime i'm glad we're having this conversation i think this is part the heel left. Okay, thank you. Rutherford Grimes from Berkeley up in California. Thank you, sir. You're very welcome.

You have a very nice. And keep doing this a wonderful show. Thank you. Thank you. And one last thing. Fulis Whitaker I, if you were to swing a tree branch at it. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Holy smokes. An interesting talk. An important conversation we just had, but I'm not. I don't know that I'm the one to challenge his findings. Did he hang up? Well, hang up on him, Roger. Yes. Anyways, as I'm saying, it's not for me to challenge his pedigree is intelligence.

I mean, obviously, he's a professor of Berkeley for a reason, but it, I don't know. what do you folks think? Is it a bit of a stretch to believe that the whole Black Lives Matter movement is predicated on, I almost feel like an idiot saying this, but Forrest Whitaker's left eye? I don't know. I'm not the expert, you know. Rutherford Grimes, the professor is,

and I certainly hope he hasn't alienated or offended any of our African-American listeners. I think if I was African-American, I'd be a bit mystified, but it's an important conversation. We're going through some tumultuous times, and I think it needed to be had and expressed here on the Harland Highway, and it all gives us, you know, fuel for our thought. And, you know, as we all personally try to sort through what's going on right now. So there you go. Let's leave it right there And let's get on to something

You know, some more important issues at hand Like, you know, what is a bean pickle Hello? Hello? Hey, I was just wondering if you ever swung a bean pickle at a canary park is six ways from Saigon. Call me back. Hey, sir. Hey, man.

How's it going? Good. Great, I was just calling you back. I got your message. One second. Thanks. Hello? I was just calling you back.

I got your message, so I was returning the call. I didn't call you. Who is it? This is Tony. You left me the message on my voice mail? No, baby. Maybe somebody down here used the phone. Can you ask her out because someone left me a message you ever swing a bean pickle on a canary carcass six ways from Saigon?

And I'm like totally confused. oh hell i don't know is there anyone like what maybe it was one of the guys because it was like a guy's voice so one of the guys there could you check what's your name tony did anybody call the guy named tony leave him a voicemail tony no no baby they didn't i have no idea does anyone there know what a bean pickle is because i'm i have no clue no i'm calling me what's about talking about it stop it with What's that? What's a bean pickle? Does anybody know? They don't know either.

Has anyone that ever swung a canary six ways from Saigon? I mean, who leaves a message like that? I don't know, baby. Could you ask someone? Do you dial the right number? I don't know. They didn't leave a callback number, so I'm just calling around to see if I can find, you know,

who left me the message. Yeah, I don't, there was nobody down here, baby. all right do you even know what six ways from sagon is though because i don't no i sure don't oh god okay well i guess i'll keep keep trying thanks for trying to help though i appreciate it you're welcome i'll keep calling around thank you all right bye bye bye wow not easy not i mean you heard it gang that this guy i've been playing it on the last like three four podcasts one of the pavement pounders calls me, asked me this important question

about a bean pickle, swinging on a canary carcass seven ways till Saigon, and I, he goes, call me back, you heard him, call me back. Here, listen. Six ways from Saigon, call me back. Right, am I right? So I've been calling back.

And he didn't leave me a number. I've been calling all around. Nobody seems to know. I can't seem to track the guy down. So what am I going to do because I care about my listeners because I want to get back to them on important topics? I'm going to keep calling around.

I'll do it on the next show, too. I don't care. That's my commitment to the pavement pounders. But in the meantime, I want you to hear this phone call. This is great. A few podcasts back, I asked about 7-Eleven. I talked about 7-Eleven. actually podcast number 7-Eleven. I said, let's celebrate 7-Elevens. And I told a couple of 7-Eleven stories.

And I said, hey, if you guys have any 7-Eleven stories, feel free. Call them in. And one of the pavement founders called one in. And I just love this one. Let's play it right now. This is a great phone call about his experience at 7-Eleven. Hi, Harland. I wanted to tell you my 7-Eleven story. I was young and would smoke weed from time to time. And I stopped by my friend's house unannounced, and he was watching from Star Trek, and I just popped in, and he was smoking weed out of the hookah, which at the time I'd never done before,

and he said, hey, we should watch Harold and Coomargo to White Castle and smoke pot. And I just thought, all right, whatever. So, anyway, we smoked up and watched the movie. It was freaking hilarious, and we thought it would be a great idea to walk through 7-Eleven. from his house and make an adventure out of it similar to the one in the movie. And, of course, it was just us walking and talking, and we got to 7-Eleven, and, you know, I was really high, and believe it or not, didn't notice that there was about six cop cars with the

blue and red light flashing outside of the front door. I don't know how I didn't see it. We were just wrapped up in our conversation. I was walked in and not paying attention, so we walked in and the place had just been robbed. I was completely out of my wits, paranoid, like sweating bullets, completely paranoid that these police officers were on to me, that I was high, and they're going to give me the, you know, they're going to give me the business here pretty soon as soon as they catch on, and I'm just, like, freaking completely horrified. And I just thought, just try to be natural, just try to be natural. I walked up to the counter and I said, can I get some tequitos, please?

And the officer was right next to me as I was speaking to the clerk. And the clerk said that the tequitos were old. He'd give them to me for free. But I insisted that I paid for them because I did not want to be accused of stealing. And somehow I thought this was a good idea. And it turned into a back to fork. No, take the tequitos. They're old.

I don't want them. I will pay. I'm not going to. And then, of course, by doing this makes attention. Oh, my God, it was the worst. These officers were laughing at me. I knew that they knew I was high, and they didn't even care. And we walked out of there unscathed, but they were all laughing at us.

And it was just, to this day, it's a funny story that my buddy and I always talk about. And, oh, my God, we were just high-tailing it out of there, just completely horrified. So I had to tell you the story, buddy. Hope you have yourself a good day. and chow main baby oh i'll have a good day now thanks thanks to you that was a great story i loved it i loved that story seven eleven i you know i knew it people people get uh people get to seven eleven and things happen but that was that was a really great story uh hilarious i really enjoyed hearing that and uh yeah i i can only imagine how many people go into seven eleven high i wonder

what the ratio is. Like, is it like 30%, 50%, 90%, sometimes I wonder if even the clerks are high.

Orr, the neon orange, too. You'd probably have those in Poland, the nutcracker sweet.

Oh, so there you go. Yeah, I started blabbering away, and I stumbled on some people from Miami. And then earlier, as you can hear, I had been talking to some girl from Poland. And that's the fun of my shows. I think you'll really like. I'm all over the room. I kind of... I kind of go all over the room and find out where people are from and what they do and what their story is.
