Starting point is 00:05:26 It's very specific. If you got it that was for you. Now a lot of people will not believe this but this is the first time Lacey and Billy Wayne Davis are meeting in person. We've never met. It is weird. How does that happen? I don't know. I think we've been always guest hosting. Passing in the halls maybe. Ships in the night. I don't even think
Starting point is 00:05:42 in the halls. No. I think it was like he was guest hosting or I was guest hosting but we were never like in the same room yeah Laces Energy is unmistakable and Billy's sage like calmness
Starting point is 00:05:51 is also unmistakable thank y'all for joining me I don't smell like sage what do you smell like Palo Santo I don't know what I smell like sometimes I smell bad
Starting point is 00:06:01 you know yeah it happens it happens bathing though corrects that. Yeah, but sometimes I forget to put deodorant on. Yeah, and then you walk out and then boom. Later in the day, you're like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:06:12 Oh, that's me. I'll just sweat if I don't put deodorant on. You don't smell? If I smell bad after, I don't know, I guess a workout and not directly showering, I kind of like the smell of what I smell. We're supposed to. No, that's what. What? You're supposed to what? We're supposed to like that smell of each what I like. I like the smell. We're supposed to. No, that's what. We're supposed to what?
Starting point is 00:06:26 We're supposed to like that smell of each other. Like that. Oh, like your smell. Yeah. That's why I have those like pheromone parties that they had like,
Starting point is 00:06:33 what was that? 2010 and shit where you wore a t-shirt and put it in a Ziploc bag and then people would sniff it and whoever's scent you like, they would like set you up with. Oh, that's so horny.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Holy shit. Yeah. I bet they're still doing that. They must be. That doesn't sound right. It was like that whole era when they were always- Because if people got laid,
Starting point is 00:06:51 they're still doing it. Right, right, right. Well, if you also think back then, there were always these write-ups about, there's these secret parties. That felt like a very distinct era in the late aughts into the teens of this decade where it was like,
Starting point is 00:07:03 these people get together and eat this berry that makes sweet taste sour and sour tastes sweet yeah but that was in that time period too where people were doing like rainbow parties where everybody would wear like different lipsticks oh that's a myth do you think that was a myth oprah said it happened i know but that was a thing no but we've talked about this on the show too like growing up you'd be like and that's how you know because they had a whole rainbow on their dick. Because they went to a rainbow party. I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, I'm 13. You're 13 too.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Where the fuck is this happening? You have to believe that, though. Oh, at that age? At that age, you need that. That's like a myth that you want to believe. Absolutely. That's how, those are the seeds, seedlings of toxic masculinity. It's why poor people vote Republican.
Starting point is 00:07:41 It's because they want to believe that they'll be in an Eyes Wide Shut party or something. Right, with rainbows. That's a lot of it. I really do believe. I believe so, too. This is all building up because we just want, deep down, we just all want to be at an Eyes Wide Shut orgy. I just want to be at a rich orgy. Would you?
Starting point is 00:07:56 I'd be freaked out by the masks. I'm like, let me see you. I'd get over a lot of it. No, you don't want to see them. I don't know. I mean, I guess you want to see them if you're hooking up with some uggo. What if you go to the rich people party and if you're hooking up with some uggo. What if you go to the rich people party and you're just hooking up with a rat face? What if it's somebody you know and you're like, oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:08:10 No, I wouldn't have done that. But it's about protecting identities more than the attraction part, right? Look, I'm just starting a blind item blog, and I figured this would be a great way to get some material. I just assume they're still happening. They must be. Oh, yeah, they are. I know people who have gone to them. They swing still? Yeah. I just assume they're still happening. Oh, yeah, they are. I know people who have gone to them.
Starting point is 00:08:27 They swing still? Yeah. I mean, they swing in the suburbs. Oh, fuck yeah, more. That's called game night. Yeah, more night. Yeah, they ain't playing kinky games on game night. It starts with the bunco and the whine,
Starting point is 00:08:39 but we know what's going down. Bunco and the whine, god damn. Nobody knows how to play bunco. Explain it to me. Lacey, we're going to get to know you even more, and Billy wine. God damn. Nobody knows how to play bunco. Explain it to me. Lacey, we're going to get to know you even more. And Billy, especially, too. But let's tell people a little bit what we're talking about. Look, there's a lot of just nonstop news going around. This impeachment inquiry and people talking, not talking.
Starting point is 00:08:58 What they're going to do. What they're not going to do. The attempts that they're making to try and stop the inevitable. attempts that they're making to try and stop the inevitable, as well as talking about, you know, a lot of people doing some out-of-pocket Halloween decorations in their house. A lot of lynching things going on in people's yards. Maybe we should stop that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:18 A greater discussion that we'll have. I mean, Halloween is a rough one. Yeah. You know? What do you mean? In what sense? It's just a rough one for people doing stuff. They shouldn't do.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Right. It's every year. It's, it's, we can, you can just point a light at anything and be like, look, this is an ongoing problem. You're like,
Starting point is 00:09:37 yeah, since the jump. It's a problematic turnout. Yeah. Well, that's kind of what this whole thing is, huh? Hmm.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Uh, and then we'll also talk a little bit about, uh, Kanye Yeah, it's like, well, that's kind of what this whole thing is, huh? And then we'll also talk a little bit about Kanye West really going for the blasphemy full blown with his new album
Starting point is 00:09:51 Jesus is King. It's really something else. I mean, we'll talk a little bit about some of the lyrics. Is he going to pay taxes on it? Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:10:00 He's a $3 billion church now. A $3 billion church? He said some shit in an interview where he's like part of a $3 billion movement. I don't know. It's hard to know with that man. It's a big church. It's a three billion dollar church now three billion dollars he said some shit in an interview where he's like part of a three billion dollar movement i don't know it's all it's hard to know what that church it's a big church big and you know no one can't that's probably not what he's talking about uh but first lacy what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are okay um right now there's a lot of adele searching
Starting point is 00:10:21 a lot of adele searching yeah because i saw that she was at Drake's birthday party. And I hadn't seen Adele in a minute. You know what I mean? She's single now. She's single. She's lost a lot of weight. Oh, really? Yeah, and she's looking like a whole new bitch. You can lose weight quick when you don't have to work.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Wait a minute. If you just have money, and you don't have to go to a job or do all that stuff, you can concentrate on losing weight. Oh, that's true. Yeah, where your attention can go to the weight loss. But you still have to have dedication. No, without a doubt.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Because I don't have a real job, and I'd be out here like, oh, my God, how am I going to lose this money? But you didn't just go through a breakup, that you were pretty public about the relationship part of it. Oh, yeah, she looks good. Yeah. Even though she's a Tottenham fan, but you know what? Look, I think she looked good at any size. I like her at the other size, yeah. She looks good. Yeah. Even though she's a Tottenham fan, but you know what? That's... Look, I think she looked good
Starting point is 00:11:06 at any size. I liked her at the other size, too. She's very pretty. But this just definitely feels to me like hot girl summer Adele. Yeah, revenge. She's like, this is the new me.
Starting point is 00:11:14 It's 90 degrees in LA and I think it's because of Adele. She's kept the summer going into October. Okay. Yes. Is she dating Skepta still? Do we know that?
Starting point is 00:11:22 Or is that just a rumor? I think she's probably boning Skepta. You know what I mean? Who isn't? Yeah, all right. Shout out to Mandem. Remember when Drake tried to make British rap a thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Oh, God, it was so bad. And I think he did the right thing, which was just to executive produce Top Boy. That's the closest he's going to be to being a road man. And also like- And getting the food blood. British rap is for British people. I can't be listening to that shit.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yo, I'll play you some artists that this shit go. That go? I don't know. Be like, come on, bro. If we in the streets, man. Yeah, man, get that food. It just sounds immediately soft
Starting point is 00:11:54 because of the accent. Well, it was funny because like a lot of people were like, why are they talking about gunplay? They're like, that's not as real. Right, we know y'all
Starting point is 00:12:01 don't got guns over there. And then it was like even a sadder indictment when we're like, gun violence is our thing that we're killing each other with. What the fuck are you talking about? You gotta, you know, claim what you can claim. I mean, our rappers aren't, today's rappers aren't,
Starting point is 00:12:14 a lot of them aren't shooting people anymore. They're getting like designer glocks and like pointing them around in music videos. Getting face tattoos and blue hair. Yeah. That's it. And I think, look, there's people, I'm gonna play you some grime.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Okay, maybe you could change my mind, but I don't know. It just sounds like, I just imagine like Oliver Twist, hair yeah that's it and i think look there's people i i'm gonna play you some some grime okay maybe you could change my mind but i don't know it just sounds like i just imagine like oliver twist no uh what do you think is something that's underrated underrated okay guys so call back to that opening that i did i know a lot of you probably don't know that song. The Affair? Yeah, and it's fucked up because that's my underrated right now. Sad, rich, white people TV. It's big right now. It was called independent cinema for a long time. That's what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:12:57 It's reached mainstream. Right. And I'm here for it. So what is this genre? Is it a succession? Yes, it's a succession. It's the affair. There's about to be a new jaunt coming out.
Starting point is 00:13:11 The morning show. Just sad, rich, white people content. Where I got to watch you being sad even though you got everything you ever wanted. Yeah, crying in a leertree. Well, they have to make every, even like Judd Apatow movies. You have to make every, even like Judd Apatow movies, you have to make the family not have to worry about money so that they can have emotional problems. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Because when you don't have money, you don't have time to be like, why aren't you paying enough attention to me? Oh, right. Because you're like, you know why. Those kind of emotional problems. I was about to say, I'm pretty sure. Because we don't have any money and you're not around, I know why you're not paying attention to me. Right, right, because. Because you're like, you know why. Those kind of emotional problems. I was about to say, I'm pretty sure. Because we don't have any money and you're not around. I know why you're not paying attention to me.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Right, right, right. Where it's like, what's it, Pretty Little Liars? Yeah, Big Little Lies. Big Little Lies. That show is goddamn ridiculous. Oh, I love it. They have to set it in Monterey, California, where you're like, yeah, no one there has any problems. Right, so that way you can really, I get what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Because most people who have, then it becomes a completely different show about the struggle of people who are working versus like pure soap opera. Yeah, like the show Roseanne is about, there's like, she yells at Dan a lot
Starting point is 00:14:12 for just not having money. Which show? Roseanne. Oh, got it. Not having money becomes the main issue when you don't have money, which is how life works.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah, exactly. So if we go to Rich, we can talk about how these people are completely emotionally ill-equipped to have functioning relationships. We can talk about the P works. Yeah, exactly. So if we go to Rich, we can talk about how these people are completely emotionally ill-equipped to have functioning relationships. We can talk about the PTA. That can be a big deal.
Starting point is 00:14:30 There's literally a scene, like four PTA scenes in the last season of Big Little Lodge. I just didn't feel fulfilled in my sex life. I mean, yes, he fucked me four times a week, but I need someone to fuck me five times a week. It's like, God, I hear you. I hear you.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And to think that he, that Birkin bag was used, that he got you. Are you okay? Oh, God, it hear you. I hear you. And to think that he, that Birkin bag was used. Are you okay? It was secondhand? People were talking. What is, what's the affair? Is it on, what channel is it on? So it's on Showtime.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I don't have that. And it's, I went and got fucking cable. Whoa. No, that's a myth. That's actually going to be my myth today. That fucking cable's more expensive. I'm paying $75 for cable. I can cancel everything else.
Starting point is 00:15:07 How many apps? Y'all trying to app me to death. Okay? And when you add all them bitches up, it's more than cable. We got to go back. We need to go back. But then this is the problem, right? If you do all this other shit, there's so much shit exclusive to streaming that it's like,
Starting point is 00:15:21 then which one do you want more? Do you need the broadcast shit or do you want the Disney Plus shit? Do you want the Netflix shit? Do you want the fucking HBO Max shit? What you can do, you can like... Millennials have created a problem for ourselves. Well, look, striminals as the industry calls us. I am a striminal. You share the logins
Starting point is 00:15:38 and boom, that's all it takes. Just spread the wealth between two people so no one's having to shoulder that $15.99. You've been clicked by. But again, the affair, I'm guessing it's about white people having an affair? Yeah. It's literally just white people fucking and crying. Oh, I love it. And it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:15:54 You know what I mean? Is it for you the schadenfreude or you're like, damn, I guess it's not all that good. See, when you said fucking and crying, white people just said, well, that's redundant. It's like, yeah, you mean sick. I know being white is great. You know what I mean? There's nothing that's going to trick me into feeling like, oh, look at these white people being sad in their Maseratis. And I'm going to be like, man, you know what?
Starting point is 00:16:17 It's great to be black. You're not tricking me. And I can say as a person that didn't grow up with money, we watched that show too. I'm like, these aren't real fucking problems. This is fucking bullshit. Yeah, well, I think there's something a little too. I think as people become more aware of the disparity in wealth and things like that, these are our new punching bags we get to laugh at.
Starting point is 00:16:38 It used to be shows that were like characters were relatable, but now it's sort of like, yeah, look at these fucking wealthy motherfuckers. Yeah, let's laugh at this shit. Well, I think also it's not triggering to you because you're not dealing with these fucking problems. You know what I mean? Like, I don't got to worry about watching Big Little Lies and being like, that same shit happened to me in the PTA last week.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Do you think there are people who are watching like, oh, I can't watch this. Four women murdered a dude last week at PTA. It's too real. It was a, this show is a lot. I want to like the show, but there's a lot. It's walking a fine line. It's too real. This show's a lot. I want to like this show, but it's walking a fine line. It's just very triggering, okay?
Starting point is 00:17:10 Because I also ran over a woman in the middle of the night and switched places with my husband. Flipped my Audi. There's this hot Nazi who beats this hot lady. He's just hot, though, so we let it go. I wish he beat me a little bit you know he's so hot i heard he raped a lady in the neighborhood but we're all letting him just be here it's like
Starting point is 00:17:33 it's like a they have an infinity pools though what are we gonna do like i can't say anything about this guy um and then your myth i'm guessing that was your myth. Yeah. That cable is not cheap. No. Did you do it? Okay. So did you do a side-by-side analysis adding up the things that you are paying for? Or, and be real, keep it funky. Are you, how many of them other things are you actually paying for?
Starting point is 00:17:58 Do you pay for your own Netflix? No. Okay. Do you pay for Hulu? Do you have Hulu? I do pay for Hulu. Okay. And I have Hulu parasites.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Yes. Oh, you have a Hulu? You call them Hulu? I do pay for Hulu. Okay. And I have Hulu parasites. Oh, you have Hulu? You call them Hulu parasites? Yeah. Hulu sites? Yeah, who are siphoning my Hulu as well. Did you give it to them or didn't they? I logged in on TVs and they never unlogged out, you know? Just fine.
Starting point is 00:18:19 That's your fault. That's a scam I appreciate. Yeah, absolutely. But okay, how petty is it? You can't call them parasites if you did it. How petty is it to be at the homie's house though and be like, oh, let me log out real quick before I leave? Like, that's fucked up. That is a weird look.
Starting point is 00:18:30 We friends. You know what you do? You go in your account, and then you find the device it's connected to and log out from there. There you go. Goodbye. Oh, see, but that's also, that's what you do to an ex. Yeah. Well, I guess it's different, right?
Starting point is 00:18:40 So these are friends. So many rules. If we're friends, I can't log you out of my Hulu. Then, you know, what you you gonna pull up at my house? We gotta fight? We gotta have a fisticuffs? Do you want to name some of these people out loud? I want to watch people fight over that.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Yeah, actually. I would like to watch that. If that's happening, text me. Lacey, get the fuck out here, bitch. What? You logged out my Hulu? You logged it. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:19:00 Get the fuck out here. I'm just holding my baby like kickass ass. You was fucking up my algorithm. How much murder are you watching on TV? Well, I need to offset all that murder shit with some baking show shit. I'm sorry I don't like that. You need to go to therapy. Come down and catch this motherfucking fade.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That would be interesting. But in our minds, that's how we do play out these scenarios. We're like, fuck, you know, I might have to fight them because I locked out the Hulu. Just people walking up like, what's happening? Well, I think it's Hulu or Netflix. Yeah. Oh, one of those.
Starting point is 00:19:30 One of those. I'll come back in 10 minutes. Very common. I don't think they're actually going to fight, but I'm going to wait it out. They're yelling from the balcony, so. Yeah, yeah. And then overrated.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Oh, did I say overrated? No. Oh, my God. See, this is the problem. Yeah, I posted this show a bunch. Oh, did I say overrated? No. Oh, my God. See, this is the problem. Yeah, you know, this is what happens. I play it fast and loose. Play it fast and loose. Like I said, had a few sips.
Starting point is 00:19:53 It's going to be a wild one, guys. Yeah. Back to you. Back to you, Lacey. What's overrated? This sin on overrated. Okay, this is going to be, I'm going to make all the white people mad today. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:05 The Joker. That's just me By the way, when you say all the white people That's just me No, the ones who aren't listening Well, Dan, he's crying Well, Dan Look, his Joker makeup's running Look what you did to him
Starting point is 00:20:16 The Joker Did you see it? Or are you just saying that? Hell no, I didn't see it Okay, so that's why I'm black, I don't have to watch The Joker What is it? Okay, so let's be specific
Starting point is 00:20:23 Rather than being a long-range hater, what is it that you don't like? What is overrated about it? Is it the stairs? Is it that thing? It's a symptom of a larger problem to me, which is lots of programming and entertainment being centered around angry white men, and it scares me. Sure, right. Oh, it should.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Because it's like, why is this so successful because all the mediocre angry white men are out here fucking jerking it to this movie they're like yeah oh yeah like i feel seen i don't want you to feel seen when you go see the joker that's not a place to feel seen but you haven't seen it hell no can i interrupt yeah with what you're saying like it's that's how how the media is portraying that movie. I went and saw it. This is my review of it. It is a piece of artwork.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I will never see it again, probably, because it's so good. But it's not what people say it is. In what way? It's not glorifying this dude. It's haunting to watch this. It's haunting. I think that that still draws to my point. Because I don't think that everyone probably felt the same way that you did.
Starting point is 00:21:39 I've read a lot of people's opinions, mostly just angry white dudes on the internet. But I think inherently it's the problem with not seeing something, right? Yeah. Because you might not know because even Jack saw it and he was like fucked up in the same way you were. He was like, because we were talking all this shit before. But don't you guys think that's because you're rational human beings? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Like, so I'm not talking about the movie itself. I'm not saying that the movie itself is the problem. You're saying that some people may receive it differently? Yeah. Well, I've been reading about, like, just like, because I was thinking about seeing it. So I was like, oh, let me see who's watching this movie. Mostly Twitter, some articles.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Right, sure. And I was just like, oh, God. Why is this so polarizing? I mean, it says something, right? Well, you can't get to becoming one of the highest rated R-rated films by only appealing very narrowly to just like a subsection of white men. But is that like a narrow section, though? I feel like that's a the sort of the frenzy around like the staircase and people going there for like the meme-ification of it, there are people there who were not like white guys who were like in a weird way where they're like, yeah, man, like it just spoke to me. And I think that's where it's weird.
Starting point is 00:22:57 And I don't know. And I guess, Billy, this is where I'm more interested with your take about because you've seen it. What would it mean for someone to say that spoke to me? Yeah. Is that the feeling of being completely disenfranchised or marginalized no because you're not i mean because it's art there's certain things where you're like what's the right way to put like some of the murders are justified in a way that any art has been justified you know like any children's movie when they kill somebody or something like that it's the same justification it's just the performance is fucking haunting and the way it's shot is there a version where you could reduce like distill it
Starting point is 00:23:41 down to a really barbaric forum that is missing the point? I think Fight Club would do that more than this movie. Oh, interesting. I think Fight Club is more dangerous in that way than the Joker.
Starting point is 00:23:53 But I also think that like, if you're looking at it as someone who's like, nuanced and intelligent like you, that's what you're getting. I'm concerned. But I'm,
Starting point is 00:24:03 no, that's what I'm saying. That's not, whatever. No, but I'm, that's exactly what i'm saying though that's who i would like fight club is more dangerous to someone like who you're talking about than this movie because fight club is about oh this is in every motherfucker we're this is in all of us we're all these dark and light people tyler durden and then in that movie, and the Joker is not about that. That is about someone who every chance someone could have helped him didn't. And it's about our fucked up systems, too. And then it's about these choices we all make.
Starting point is 00:24:39 It's fucked. Yeah, but what I'm saying is I'm not talking about the movie. I can't talk about something I never saw. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm just talking about the frenzy over this kind of entertainment. Because it's not just this. Look at SNL trying to hire Shane Gillis, who is just a fucking bigot. Look at all these angry white comedians who are doing edgy, borderline comedy
Starting point is 00:25:02 that are now being vehemently defended. You know what i mean i think that there's a culture uh that exists right now that is just like white people feeling like they're marginalized by people of color or by people with disabilities or by gay people and being angry so i just that kind of content i'm like is there gonna be more of this because you know how hollywood is it's like oh this did so well sure now let's have more content like this and maybe it's not all gonna to be as nuanced as the Joker. My thing isn't about the Joker.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I think what, as we all are, right? We have all very completely different perspectives in this room. Like being a person of color in this country, just the idea of white people is frightening to most people of color. To be just off the concept sometimes. So then, you know what I mean? Like, no, for real though. You know what I mean? Like, no, for real though. You know what I mean? Like you think of even just how like in Africa,
Starting point is 00:25:47 people view white people, like they think they're ghosts and things like that. There's like certain levels of how we look at certain issues. And I think for you, there's like this, there's something underneath it that is touching on a wider thing right now of maybe like white fragility and how that is being manifested in certain spaces.
Starting point is 00:26:04 That's what the current president got elected on. Right. Yeah. It was cultivated by him, but it was being cultivated for years. Yeah, a decade, right. For years. I mean, that's what the Koch brothers started stroking that shit years ago. So it's been over years.
Starting point is 00:26:22 This has been cultivated and cultivated and cultivated. But the cool thing that I think has happened the last four years is that dumbass, they went too far. Did they though? Yes. I don't know. I've been out there and I've been touring. I'm talking about and what I saw four years ago at this time was I predicted Trump was going to win. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Because they cultivated that shit. Right. Now, me going out now, it's different than it was. What do you feel in the air? Like, it's turned. Like, people aren't, even the people that were, like, kind of his supporters, not super not super loud, but like more than we all thought. Those people aren't here anymore. They've been like, oh, this isn't what he said this was.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Right. They're tired of it. Historically, though. There is this. And there's always going to be in this country that 20 and as long as we keep it there and below of just hateful hateful people and that's and we've used those people for a long time for our benefit right so we don't we have to admit that part of our country exists because we send them out to go get other stuff that's why we're a fucking empire now it's because we send those hateful people out, we motivate them, and then we go send them out to do stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Right. But now, someone else has motivated them against us. And that's what Putin has done. And it's interesting to watch. Right. Well, I think- You don't get rid of those. And it cultivated that hate for a lot longer.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Right. Well, I think there's also a fear too that it's completely mainstream to normalize cultivated that hate for a lot longer right well i think there's also a fear too that it's completely mainstream to normalize a lot of just racist shit and insane behavior and honestly this country ain't never been shit and black people have known that and we're not shocked by anything that's happening and i think that it could absolutely get worse because i don't know if there's a ceiling for this shit because we've seen all the fucked up shit that has been done to this country especially to us and i don't know if he's not going to get re-elected again i don't know if there's a ceiling for this shit because we've seen all the fucked up shit that has been done to this country, especially to us.
Starting point is 00:28:26 And I don't know if he's not going to get reelected again. I don't know. I truly don't know. He might get a second term and I don't think people are taking that seriously. I think that's sort of the perspective. That's where our perspective is. He might take a second term. I don't think he'll win one.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I think that if he gets one it'll be taken but it is it's still feasible that it's super duper feasible that's what i think and i feel like the first time we kind of went back into like oh well hillary has to win right and she didn't and now we're like he's done so much fucked up shit hillary or you know i mean a democratic candidate has to take the office and but i'm like i don't know well i think that's the but that's the position we have as people of color, right? It's very difficult for us to say,
Starting point is 00:29:07 yeah, I'm gonna relax now. Yeah, because also like if you can factor out racism in your choices and maybe you're getting a tax cut under Trump, which a lot of people are, including myself.
Starting point is 00:29:16 If you're doing that well. Well, I'm not saying nothing. But, but. Shout out to your Hulu parasites. parasites but like let's look at like racism is still full-on celebrating this country y'all get married at plantations y'all out here like i went on a slavery tour i was tweeting about it like i was like oh this is so fucked up and people were like is this marble is this real marble right here you know they're like oh this is where they
Starting point is 00:29:40 used to choke all the slaves out and they're like like, okay, but the wood. Is that hand carved? Is that reclaimed? Like, so I don't know. Like, racism isn't enough. So he has to start doing things that actually, I mean, he already has done things that affect people outside of race, but I just don't know if it's enough. I'm genuinely terrified,
Starting point is 00:29:56 and I think everybody should be. Well, no, I think this is because we've entered a thing where, you know, there were, I mean, this is the complexity of like the white supremacist fabric of this country and like what things are being normalized in the way we're seeing people behave out in the open. A lot of people say this, I mean, this is, this has been an ongoing thing, but there's a certain confidence about it too, that I think is doubly upsetting for people of color because we are on the receiving end of a lot of this shit.
Starting point is 00:30:26 And that's where I understand where you're coming from because from your perspective, we have a mentality or mindset or a point of view on how this country treats people of color and how this country treats white transgressors. And we're a bit cynical. And I think, Billy, too, from your perspective, you've seen a change in the audiences you've seen. And there's, I think there's validity to what you're saying too, but there's a, well, I think what,
Starting point is 00:30:52 what's interesting is there's always been poor white people that have been like, this country's fucked. Sure. Since the jump too. Yeah. You know, they,
Starting point is 00:31:02 a lot of immigrants came up, white immigrants came over here promised something that they weren't delivered to and i'm not saying they had but i think what's interesting and i can't imagine how frustrating it is for a person of color to like what's happening now is a lot of poor white people that have been racist their whole life have been like oh shit they're doing it to us too and they're looking around now and being like oh is this how you've been treated and you guys are like yes motherfuckers right so that's frustrating i think that's what's happening now is that these people
Starting point is 00:31:38 that were on the in between yeah well that didn't even think about racism because their life was fine and they probably never saw any people of color or black, you know, anybody. So that's not something you have to think about. It's not what you see. Or if they did, those black people had money like they did or something like that. That's a different like they don't understand. They didn't know that. And now because of what's happening, it's in their face in a way that it never was.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Right. I think they're – sure. Absolutely. I think for me, I come – my perspective is a little different just for – I grew up in a small rural county where there weren't black people. I didn't understand racism because we didn't know any black people. So when people would be racist, I was always confused. I was like, how do you know that they're bad? They're talking about like it's the fucking the village or some shit just whatever or just yeah or whatever and just hearing things but then because i was poor from this rural county when i
Starting point is 00:32:35 left i related to black people and the poor people on my baseball team and that because they were more like me in the way they saw it and then the kids with money that I played with. Sure, sure. See, I grew up the opposite way. I had money as a child, and I grew up around all white people. So there's like, you know, we're not a monolith. There's like so many, you know what I mean? Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:32:56 But it was still rough because it was Texas. But I hope that, honestly, Billy, that what you're saying is true, and I guess I'm just still about instilling the fear in God in everybody that can possibly ever hear me. No, and I agree, and they need to be. Because I don't think we can just think this is over. What I'm saying is it is moving in the right direction. I was just talking about this this weekend because I went out for a couple shows in the last couple months. And I said it.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I was like, there's certain material I was doing where I knew going in what was going to happen. Right. Like percentage wise to the audience that is starting to change in a way. Right. That is very noticeable to where it was like you could feel it. And now it's like these certain things I do. It's the whole group. Got it.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And it's maybe one or two people in the back. You can see them. Right. But for a long time, I was like, this is bad. Because what I think happens is we're in this bubble, for lack of a better term. Right, in Los Angeles. That's true.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Not even in LA. The racism is still here. No, no, no. But not to our faces. But I just mean politically intelligent. We are. Like in this room, in the bigger cities, we are more politically intelligent than a lot of people that we assume everyone else is that politically intelligent. Because we have time.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Yes. And they don't. So they don't hear everything. So they were mad because of what was happening and this is what they were being told was happening, how they were hearing it. And then what Dingbat has done,
Starting point is 00:34:35 because he's so insane, has made them go learn how to get this information again. So they're starting to realize, oh, this is bullshit. And now they're starting to get to their grandparents and be like, hey, this is, and it's taken longer than we all want it. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:50 But that's what's starting to happen. Yeah, I definitely agree that there are people who are a little, feeling the little bit of the smack of reality a little bit, for sure. I'm not, yeah, and I think the point I was making is like, there are plenty,
Starting point is 00:35:02 still plenty of hateful white people out there, but it's not four years ago. i mean that in the best way it was something i realized in this like really nice realization i was in salem oregon which was like was a litmus test because it's the capital of oregon and oregon's a really red state besides Portland. People don't really think about that. Oh, yeah. It's fucking redneck. It's just farms and loggers. And East Oregon, the weird desert. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:34 But that's where I noticed it the first time, where I was like, oh, this Trump thing's weird. And then I noticed last week when I was there, I was like, oh, it's gone. Oh, that's kind of cool. And I in i'm around to go back real republican conservatives who are in because we're in the state capitol there that were like on my side in a way that wasn't right i was like oh they even and i said it too i was like i'm talking about real conservatives i got like real i got like yells and they're like yeah fuck that dude it was interesting
Starting point is 00:36:01 interesting or here's a good trick just show them do the math just do the the bezos math this is my favorite thing to do see how much he's worth now write it out all the zeros i don't even know how many zeros now divide that by all the people on the planet it's insane what do you mean that's that's how we beat them that's how we win but I think we have to convince poor people that that bootstrap theory doesn't exist and stop tantalizing them with the opportunity to be a billionaire because I think that's a lot of the reason that we all have allowed billionaires to kill us, literally kill us, and kill the planet, is because we're like, but one
Starting point is 00:36:46 day, hey, I'm a B-billionaire. You're not touching my money. Oh, you drink coffee every day? Well, then if you cut that out... You could be a billionaire too! Yeah, exactly. And also if you cut out how we pay people properly, and you cut out their benefits. And capitalism is a dirty trick where we're
Starting point is 00:37:02 like, we created rise and grind culture where it's like, oh, I don't get no sleep. I never sleep. Okay. I got a little problem. Cocaine had a lot to do with that. Yeah. The 80s had a lot to do.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Cocaine had a lot to do that. We don't sleep. And you're like, it's because we don't have to. But it's like we should sleep. And capitalism has taught us that if you work yourself to death, maybe you can live. Markets are opening. You might have a leather interior car. But the thing is, I think, again, it's always important to look.
Starting point is 00:37:29 All the civil rights leaders that had began to join poor white people with black people and say, hey, we have a common enemy. Bye bye. They all get got. that's been the trick of this wealthy class is to always be able to create, to pit the people at the bottom against each other as a distraction from understanding that all the wealth is being siphoned above you. And then they're raising the specter of each other to be like, ha ha, look, we got to fight. It's where the concept of a middle manager came. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Because somebody was doing that and they're like, hey, you're going to make a little bit more if you're still on us and you're in charge of these people. Well, the co-brother who just died had pancreatic cancer, right? And he was funding an aggressive amount of money into that specific cancer research. And it helped extend his life. And it also helped everybody else subsequently in that field or with that particular disease. And then it's like, wow, this man with billions of dollars was able to help you live longer and he only did it because he had the specific
Starting point is 00:38:28 kind of disease that you have right meaning that if we had this money a lot of people with different let's say we taxed it and spread it out so we did a lot of research okay I'm gonna stop this guys we gotta take going to stop this right here. I'm going to stop this, guys. We've got to take a quick break. You guys aren't working at all. Shout out to our corporate overlords. We'll be right back. How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their
Starting point is 00:39:03 racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady Rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch.
Starting point is 00:39:25 As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:39:52 When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey. But this was only the beginning.
Starting point is 00:41:27 In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with Season 2 of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season? Well, you were right.
Starting point is 00:42:12 And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs. We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach. That's my husband. Daphne Spring. Daniel Thrasher. Peppermint. Morgan Jay, and more. You got to watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen. Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us. Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's big money players network on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts all right and we are back wow what a doozy um Let's first get into some social justice issues. Felicity Huffman has been released from prison after only 11 days. God.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Okay. Wow. See? We can finally exhale. I thought that she was going to get released a lot sooner. I did too. And I would have been okay with it. It was weird.
Starting point is 00:43:18 It went from 14 days to then they're like, she'll probably do 13 to then 11. She must have been really well behaved in there with her new balances on. It's just a colossal waste of money. Yeah, it truly is. To incarcerate her? Well, if you're going to do it for the sentence, like a real person, but to me the symbolic thing that this was. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Like, yeah, you can't do this. You're like, this made her cooler. Yeah, honestly, this should have just given her some restorative justice. I would have loved to see her pay an aggressive amount of money, like $600,000, something around that. Yeah, millions. But it needs to go directly to underprivileged students who actually cannot afford college but can get in without aid.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Yeah, like the Pell Grant. Yeah, like the Pell Grant. But we don't know where her fine goes, and her jail time does nothing for society. Yeah, and I think that's why a lot of- Well, if her fine might pay for her whole thing. Do you know what I mean? That stuff's-
Starting point is 00:44:11 Right, pays for the cost of incarcerating her. Yeah. Which then just makes what, prisons rich? Yeah. Whoa, somebody figured it out. Investors. Investors of prison. Not the prison industry.
Starting point is 00:44:21 The investor. Lori Loughlin, on the other hand, she got hit with additional counts of bribery somehow. I'm cheering against her. Listen, Lori, you know what's fucked up? I met Lori Loughlin right before this happened. Like before the whole Operation Varsity Blues thing dropped? I think I might have said this, but I was out having lunch with my lawyers.
Starting point is 00:44:40 And one of my lawyers has this really big dog. She walked up, just a carefree white woman, starts playing with the dog and they're just like, hey, what's up guys? Just chatting with us. She looks great. Skin looks great. She looks so young.
Starting point is 00:44:51 I was like, damn, the bitch look young. Hyaluronic acid. She has gained like 10 years in age since all this shit dropped. She's looking rough. Oh, the woman you saw that day
Starting point is 00:44:59 to the photos you see now with her big, her crime visor on. Yeah. The skin started to crack as soon as the stress hit. And I think that she really was living this life like i mean i am a beloved rich white lady y'all not about to throw me in jail but she did that flex too openly it was too open like she flexed too like why are you making statements bitch talk about this ain't
Starting point is 00:45:19 gonna happen she really was like i ain't going to jail Yeah why Say that at home Oh it is It is To me it's Pretty white lady syndrome Is what it is Yeah Is what she What I call it
Starting point is 00:45:31 And what's happening She's never had stress In her whole life No Like none And she's had Full house money Forever
Starting point is 00:45:40 And Mossimo Is her husband And then she Marries Mossimo Anna's You don't think Mossimo has money Anna Oh Mossimo got pulled From Target And then she marries Mossimo. You don't think Mossimo has money, Anna? Oh, Mossimo got pulled from Target.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Yeah, but he was in Target for forever. Yeah, but you were in Target. So I'm good with money for a little bit. Because I had all them clothes and all them Target. Her last name was on the back of every middle class housewife's jacket for decades. But I met her, too. Before this happened at a USC game. In the tailgate, rich part. But she met her too, this like, before this happened, at a USC game in the like,
Starting point is 00:46:06 tailgate, like rich part. But she was, she's glowing. Glowing. Oh my God. And I was like, I was the same way.
Starting point is 00:46:13 I was like, man, this is a very attractive, oh, I know who this woman is. You have no stress. None. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:18 None. That's why Jennifer Aniston looked like that too. Yes. Yes, because she's aware of what she has. And then,
Starting point is 00:46:24 but the back, this, the backfire of that is you've never faced stress ever, so you don't know how to handle it. You don't know to keep that mouth shut. When she said not guilty that first time, I was like, I guarantee you her lawyers are like, I mean, thanks for the extra money, but we gave you advice. I don't know. I think her lawyers may have been confirming her own bias in the beginning.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Like, I mean, you are a rich wife. Every time she walks in the room, that song starts like, money can't buy you. No, no, no. Those motherfuckers are thinking of the publicity from working with her and getting her off for nothing. And when she went in and said not guilty, they were like, oh, God, you made this so much harder for us. And also, too, she is still refusing to take a plea deal.
Starting point is 00:47:11 And the prosecutor keeps saying, we're going to throw the fucking book at you. If you're trying to do this, you will be put under the jail. We were trying to be nice. But look, what's that prison sentence going to be? 16 days? I don't know Felicity.
Starting point is 00:47:25 I don't know if she keeps pushing that button. Y'all was doing fake money laundering for the fake charity. You telling me you don't know Felicity? You never saw her at one of them fake-ass charity events where y'all wrote checks to the charity that don't exist? She went out here and pled guilty. They get confused which one was which, though. Immediately. They go to a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:47:41 She wrote a letter that was like, look, I'm so sorry. My dog is sorry. Everybody in my family is sorry. Like everybody in my family is sorry. Like, why didn't you follow her lead? This is also another rich white woman.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I guess she was probably like, but I'm cuter than her. Like she got. I've had to keep getting jobs after my shows are done. Felicity was like, so I know how to act. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:58 But I wonder, you know, I mean, that'll, that'll be a messy, petty episode where we dig up their bank receipts
Starting point is 00:48:02 and figure out who's the one funding whose lifestyle? Is it Massimo? Or does Lori Loughlin have Hallmark money that's that thick and strong? She's got full house money. What's that full house? But I'm curious to know, really, at the end of the day, what's that full house
Starting point is 00:48:13 residual check look like? I mean, it went in syndication for a very long time. For so long. And I guess we haven't heard from Dave Coulier's ass. They don't have to do anything ever again. Why wasn't I on full house? And then she married a dude that doesn't have to do anything ever again. Why wasn't I on Full House? And then she married a dude that doesn't have to do anything again. And then they put that don't have to do anything money next to each other.
Starting point is 00:48:33 And then they made babies who didn't have to do anything. And then they send them to school. Right. That girl was on somebody who worked at USC's yacht and shit. And was on YouTube talking about how she just wanted to get turned up and go to football games. She was like, I don usc's yacht and shit and was like on youtube talking about how she just wanted to get turned up and go to the drug she's like i don't even care about school i was like good whatever like my friend's dad's like the dean but they she did give like that listen to that story about like the guy who did all the stuff that got them in
Starting point is 00:48:58 the schools they paid so much more money the laugh ones did oh yeah so many more people it was like crazy and that's what makes me think that they have that kind of fuck you money whereas like much more money. The Laughlins did. Oh, yeah, yeah. So many more people. It was like crazy. And that's what makes me think that they have that kind of fuck you money where it's like, oh, just give them a half a million dollars
Starting point is 00:49:10 and we'll get them in school. Shouldn't that be enough? And they're like, oh, I was going to ask for 30K. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, that dude's like, what? To get into U.S. motherfucking C.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Yes. That school's trash. Yes. It was all day. That's also just dumb. That's not, USC is a good school, but it's not half a million dollars to get in and then still pay tuition good. Well, yeah, but that's where a lot of the rich conservatives meet each other when they're younger and go on to do business.
Starting point is 00:49:34 There are bigger watering holes for that. Especially if your daughter's just about to go get an MRS, at least send her to a place where everybody's got long legs. Send her to a tennis pro. Now you guys should be starting a counseling service to tell rich people where to send their kids who aren't worth a fuck. Oh, I think she and I could make a lot of money. Oh, between the two of you? Wow, one-two punch.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Because we understand how that world works in a different way. And weren't you working in a counseling office in the university? Yeah, I used to be an admissions counselor at the University of Pittsburgh. And see, and that sounds like a lie. And it could be, and I don't, because Lacey's a good liar.
Starting point is 00:50:06 It's not. I am. Excellent. Look, I told you, it's only a lie if you don't believe it. Exactly. Let's get into some other news. This is a little bit about the whistleblower scandal. Shall we? Okay, there it is. There's a lot even
Starting point is 00:50:22 happening now. Even more and more. So, this was just handed to me by Superdude San Jose. There's a lot of things going on, right? So, right now we just found out that a judge had deemed that the House is legally engaged in an impeachment inquiry. Right? We knew that. And that essentially means that lawmakers can see some of Robert Mueller's secret evidence. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:50:43 So, they got a little bit of a hard drive to look through there. Oh, do you know what that means? That means we're minutes to hours away from a Trump press conference. Oh, absolutely. Full-on jazz solo. Yeah. We're going to be like, no, if someone that doesn't know what instrument he's playing,
Starting point is 00:51:00 that is the best. He's playing his shithole. So there's another thing, too. John Bolton, the man with the push-b brew mustache who looks like a weird Muppet. When he left the White House, he promised to make a scene. He like vowed to make a scene like a real housewife. Yeah, you hired. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:51:16 And we just found out, too. He is currently in his lawyers are in talks to negotiate testimony in the impeachment inquiry. No, hell yeah. He's like, fuck that. And also, this is the thing. This would be terrible for the White House because not only is this guy like one of the architects of the Iraq war, he is like a full-blown Republican hawk. You can't call this guy deep. Like, this is just someone who has had it.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Well, and he's always been very upfront about how fucking insane he is, too. Yeah. That's the only part of Bolton I do like. He's like, no, I think we should go blow everyone up. This is my policy for this. And I don't care. I hate Russia. I hate everybody.
Starting point is 00:51:53 And I'm going to be in the game for about 40 years. And you're like, how's that guy still here? He's just like, let's blow them all up. And you're like, the pencil guy wants to blow everybody up. Right. Well, and also, too, he's the one who's been quoted from other witnesses who have testified as saying, he's like, I don't want anything to do with this drug deal they got cooking up. So he clearly has some things to say. It's just fun when you get a bunch of criminals in a room and then they're all doing crimes.
Starting point is 00:52:19 And they all like, there's like this weird code of honor where he they're he's like listen i'm this kind i'm like an assassin yeah but i only use knives i don't do drug deals what do you you guys doing heroin yeah what is this no me the ukraine you guys need to stay away from it's just like even bad guys are like oh i don't get it or just sort of like there's rules like it's almost like the criminals like you're making it hot like my damn we've been doing fucked up shit for so long. Now here come your motherfucking ass. We have an etiquette. Why are you talking on the White House phone to the Ukraine?
Starting point is 00:52:53 Why the fuck did you text me that? We made it red so you don't talk on it. Yeah. Oh, boy. Anyway, so not only that, right? There is a current National Security Council official, Tim Morrison, who is a current White House administration cabinet member, not a cabinet member, but administration member who is also willing to testify. And this is what they say. Tim Morrison, a National Security Council official who has been identified as a witness to one of the most explosive pieces of evidence uh set plans to
Starting point is 00:53:25 testify thursday even if the white house attempts to block him if subpoenaed mr morrison plans to appear for his deposition his attorney said mr morrison about to be like out there you know how the jesus saves people had a karaoke machine with the microphone he's like well i'm testifying no matter what i'm like the poster that has the built-in megaphone? On the evening of October 24th. You're like, what the fuck? I'm just trying to go to Comic-Con. The president walked in the Oval Office. Whoa, that guy's giving like a real testimony.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Like a sermon. Testify. You're not blocking my testimony. And I guess the reason, too, why they say he has a piece of a very explosive piece of this puzzle is he's the first currently serving White House official.
Starting point is 00:54:07 So it's not like he's someone like, I don't even know who is. I don't know her. They can't do that. He's also the first official believed to be on the phone call, the call between Trump and President Zelensky. Oh, man. So again, Trump, you made it a conference call on top of it being recorded he's just not that kind of arrogance just baffles me well somebody did the somebody showed like how much
Starting point is 00:54:34 money he inherited if he would have just put it in a savings account just got the interest like how much money he'd have now more than he he has now, probably? Oh, it's... Oh, because all the losses he's taken? Yeah, it's insane. Like, if he would have just done nothing, he would have been an actual, probably, billionaire and stuff. Right, right, right. All his moves have just lost money.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I hate to see it. It's so... But that's just so funny. Like, you could have literally done nothing. And been better off. And been so better off. But it was about the attention. And you know, he was never accepted amongst the rich elites.
Starting point is 00:55:09 No, his dad wasn't either, yeah. So he was always trying to get the approval and the power so that he could be well liked. That's why it hurts him so much that Hollywood hates him. Right. And you got Kanye. The lesson is, you know. I don't even think he's got Kanye. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Kanye ain't got Kanye. He's got God, though. Also, again, just as sort of part and parcel, sort of like underlining how desperate things are, right? Lindsey Graham, good boy, Lindsey Graham, he has done as his master's voice had commanded him to because he said, I need you all to step up. And first he had that lame-ass bum rush of the skiff from, like, House Republicans. That was a total embarrassment. That was embarrassing. Now, you know, Lindsey Graham has put forward a Senate resolution that's condemning the impeachment inquiry.
Starting point is 00:55:53 But again, it's the only thing they're doing is bad. I don't like it. It's essentially what it is, right? Because it's officially don't like this. Yeah. And the president doesn't either. And it's all about due process it's being secret whatever so they you know newsweek asked a few legal scholars to read through this and
Starting point is 00:56:11 my goodness the resounding uh like response from legal scholars is lol they're just like there's a lot of grammar errors okay legally i don't even know what you mean uh harvard professor senator graham's resolution has absolutely no substance. I looked at it carefully to see if any of its process complaints made sense historically, legally, or morally. I could find nothing in it worthy of being taken seriously. And the fact that it focuses entirely on phony objections to a completely fair and traditional process speaks volumes about how little the Republican senators have to say in defense of the president. Okay, that was Harvard.
Starting point is 00:56:42 What about Yale? They say, even if this style of proceeding were not all authorized by the House rules, the Republicans themselves adopted to run the Benghazi hearings, the due process protections Graham wants only attach at the Senate impeachment trial, not at the charging stage in the House, which more closely resembles a more private grand jury proceeding. Then goes on to say, at the charging stage, private proceedings are warranted so that witnesses don't compare and align stories through public testimony. That's the whole point, right? To catch them off guard. And everyone knows that information being gathered will be public in a matter of weeks anyway. So it's everything is so disingenuous,
Starting point is 00:57:18 but they have to do whatever the fuck they can to try and send up any kind of distraction or any semblance of having like an actual objection that makes sense. Right. Like if this was a murder trial, essentially Donald Trump is saying, guys, all I want to know is who the FBI informant is. Right. I just want to know where he lives so we can talk. I just want to see him. I want to know what he got to say. Look him in his eyes.
Starting point is 00:57:50 That's it. I just want to know who he is and what his day is like. We could get coffee. What are his weaknesses? In an alley. Who are some of his vulnerable family members? Is his head bulletproof? Does he have a bulletproof head?
Starting point is 00:58:05 I just want to test it. I just need to know. These are just things we need to know. That's what I do with friends. Let me shoot A and C. Again, y'all, between your college counseling service, maybe should be, I might see you guys on Fox News soon for the president.
Starting point is 00:58:18 That would be fun. Right. It would be a good time. The new diamond in silver. That would be a fun way to make money. It's just like I'm talking to the president through the TV. Oh, God. Such a fun way. The new diamond in silk. That'd be a fun way to make money. It's just like I'm talking to the president through the TV. Oh, God. Such a fun way.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Just take up juggling. Yeah. Just like he comes out trying to juggle. Yeah. I feel like I would have to have more legitimate credits to be a Democratic pundit. You could scam the fuck out. Oh, the GOP? But if I went in as a GOP pundit, they'd be like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:58:39 If you knocked on the door. A black woman we could use and she does her hair? Oh, send her right up. Yeah. They're like, because we don't have anyone that knows how to do your hair. It's going to be a mess. Sorry. Oh, no, it's great.
Starting point is 00:58:49 I'm good. Okay, move over, Candace. All right. What are we talking about? Trump. Love him. So hot. So sexy.

A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
Starting point is 01:00:37 I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change
Starting point is 01:02:17 their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County rebels will stay the Boone County rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print.
Starting point is 01:02:31 They lying. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be
Starting point is 01:02:43 the losing team? I just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When the civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app,
Starting point is 01:03:02 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And I just do want to bring up Kanye West's new album. Is it released? It was supposed to be released on Friday at midnight. It did not release until later in the morning around the afternoon eastern time so many people were up being like is it pacific midnight or eastern i need your gospel album um and what a what an album it was uh it it's about a full 27 minutes i listened to it
Starting point is 01:03:42 i skipped through most of the shit and again look, look, I get it. What if you missed the good parts? Okay, well, I just want to go through some of the lyrics because Vulture did a nice little just skim. But I remember, Lacey, you came in this morning. I said, did you listen to the Kanye West album? What'd you say? Hell no. And then you're like, it's bad.
Starting point is 01:04:00 I said, it's fully bad. Not even the music's good? Because usually that's the saving grace. Right. Because even Yay, that album that was a complete just rushed, terrible, terrible album- The beats were fire. Had moments where like, oh, if you actually spent some time, you might have something. But now all of our sympathy has gone the other way because he still thinks slavery is a choice
Starting point is 01:04:22 and is still doing that shit out there and also pretending he's some kind of Christ figure. He's making some tax decisions. That's what I think too. I was like, what better way to get out of this? I love it. I'm not mad at him for that. No, sure. Start a cult. I plan to at some point. Reverend Billy Wayne Davis
Starting point is 01:04:40 once I hit about 10 million. Oh, yes. I'm going to be pastor. I'm going to stop doing comedy and I'm going to be a pastor. You should be Dr. Lacey Mosley, but you're like one of those like doctors who's also pastor. I'll get an honorary doctorate
Starting point is 01:04:51 from Phoenix University. You can go with Robert Evans. Bishop Lacey Mosley. And I think it's Haiti. You can get a reverend doctor title. Like a reverend and doctor? No, you're a reverend doctor is the title.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Oh, shit. It's like 1,500 bucks. Oh, shit. It's like $1,500. Oh, yes. Let me pull up a handy. I told him when I get a commercial, we'll just go down there and get a national commercial. Let's just go get it. Well, I just want to say there's a song called Sela. I don't know how you pronounce that, but this is a lyric from it.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Everybody wanted Yandy because that was the album he said was going to come out after Yay that never came out. Everybody wanted Yandy. Then Jesus Christ did the laundry okay okay i just wanted to leave the room that's not hitting with y'all how you gonna how you gonna advertise something and then tell us that we wanted it but you said you was gonna do yandi we didn't come up with yandi yeah we didn't ask for that but also i don't understand the setup of then jesus christ did the laundry no it doesn't make any sense now you know i don't know this kanye's poetic license yeah give me some more uh there's a song called closed on
Starting point is 01:05:50 sunday great song this is the one the only one i played for lacy because like you gotta hear this one with your own fucking ears closed on sunday you my chick-fil-a you're my number one with the lemonade then he repeats that line throughout that song because I could not believe close on Sunday you're my Chick-fil-A at the very end of the song
Starting point is 01:06:12 he goes Chick-fil-A anyone? no? that's what happens when you surround yourself with people that can't tell you how stupid your ideas are
Starting point is 01:06:24 yeah oh absolutely and also when you start to claim Jesus and you don't read Sound yourself with people that can't tell you how stupid your ideas are. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. And also when you start to claim Jesus and you don't read any of his doctrine. Because it's like you couldn't give us no specific Bible heaters. There's so much heat in the Bible. He does quote some verses. Okay. He does use them.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Because I'm like, you have to to get those tax credits. Chick-fil-A, because they close on Sunday, so that's definitely about God. What about this one? That is the exact, that's what that motherfucker's thinking. That is a great point. He's like, it's closed on Sunday
Starting point is 01:06:50 because of God, so this is, I'm doing good. But also, when he's saying, you're closed on Sunday, you're my Chick-fil-A, what's that mean?
Starting point is 01:06:59 Who are we talking to in this? Maybe Kim doesn't fuck him on Sunday. Yeah, she's like, no, honey, it's Sunday. I'm on Sunday. You do not fuck. You know what? And then it's really passive aggressive about a loveless marriage.
Starting point is 01:07:10 But this is also the kind of album you get when you ask everybody who works on it not to masturbate. What was the thing, right? He said. No premarital sex. He asked that of people working on the album. That was in the Zane Lowe interview, right? Yeah. That they couldn't masturbate?
Starting point is 01:07:22 He was saying no premarital sex. And to abstain. And to abstain. Okay, that's different that you can't jack off. I think if abstaining, you're not supposed to diddle that skittle. I don't think that. I mean, I think that's what I call it. That's from denomination to denomination
Starting point is 01:07:38 I think. What's Kanye's denomination? I don't know. Also, there's another track, On God. That's why I charge the prices that I charge. I can't be out here dancing with the stars. Okay. Bars. Actually, that one makes sense.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Yeah. Where he's like, listen, I charge a lot of money because I don't want to have to dance for you fucking motherfuckers anymore. My burlap sacks cost $6,000. I think that's the point he's making too. He's like, I charge a lot of money and you guys pay it. Yeah. So you guys are kind of dancing for me instead of me dancing for you.
Starting point is 01:08:16 Right, which doesn't sound that good as a listener. What I will say though is that there's like a Kanye Kirk Franklin thing going on on Twitter right now too Which I think is making people download Kirk Franklin's new album The gospel community
Starting point is 01:08:31 I think he thought he could come soft at us But the gospel Community slaps Real musicians Stop still goes to this day Stop Makes me clap my hands Makes me well he's stealing from that but he's not he was trying to or whatever it's not even pandering because in his service stuff
Starting point is 01:08:56 he was doing was trying to recreate a gospel oh the service beats were slapping and i think that's what we thought we were gonna get was this kan Kanye West Sunday service beats. Because I was listening to him remixing Feeling On Your Booty into a gospel song. He did? I mean, he remixed so many things into a gospel song. Feeling On Your Booty. He did Ginny Wine's So Anxious. As a gospel song? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:18 So meet me at 1130, Mary Magdalene. I love it when you talk in dirties. It comes from the same place. Yeah. The same. You know I'm a sexaholic. See, I don't know about that. You know I'm a praiseaholic.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Said I'm so precious. Yeah, listen. But we were loving it. I think a lot of preachers are sexaholics. Oh, yeah. That's actually big facts. Yeah. Big facts.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Big facts. So when these beats came out all baby soft like they did, I was like, what is this? Well, when you think also about the true tradition of like church bands, like the amount of amazing musicians that come out, like a lot of funk bands, right? Like in Dayton, Ohio, all came out of church bands. Like a lot of funk music came out of church bands. And that's why funk is so, these people are fucking competent on their instruments. You cut to these Kanye beats, they're like, it's like he partway through was like,
Starting point is 01:10:08 no, I don't need to make drums or anything. I'm just going to like proselytize on this beat. Well, I think he also knows, because the people around him know more than he does too, that even if he knows it's mediocre to him, they can sell a bazillion copies just on marketing and him saying crazy shit alone. So like he said, he's like, I charge so much because I don't want to have to do this forever. So I think he's just like playing with this thing for as long as he can.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Which is so odd, too, because there's this duality about it where you can't say that and be sincere about your Jesus is King message because now you're talking about all the things you're going to sell profiteering off of this angle. But I think that's the artist of what he's... Not many people... I hate defending him, but he is an amazing artist. And for a while, I thought just as a musician and producer, I thought he is truly a genius when it comes to that. But now he's doing something I think interesting with the fame part of who he is by the gospel part of this. Because what is starting is that conversation about should this shit be taxed or not?
Starting point is 01:11:20 Because these motherfuckers are taking a ton of money. He's starting that conversation. But I ton of money he's starting that conversation but i don't think he's starting it as a analysis of like what our tax codes are i think from maybe trying to exploit that but i think that's the point though he's doing too oh i don't give him that much credit i think no not him but the people around him that can influence him aren't dummies do you think people being like you know what know what, you need to begin as a church and then you can start sheltering some of this money. I think without a doubt.
Starting point is 01:11:49 I wouldn't be shocked. I wouldn't because, I mean, he's so- It's not cynical. There's too much money involved. I just wish that he would leave black people alone. There are so many problematic black celebrities who have just chosen to leave us alone. Look at RuPaul.
Starting point is 01:12:02 RuPaul leaves us alone. He has a pack of of white gays that he runs with he don't bother us okay like he don't make commentary towards us he's not out here trying to pretend that he cares about us anymore i would like the same for kanye like stop going to hbcu's talking about how we need to vote for trump and how if they cast a slave net we need to not all be together what the fuck was that at how, yeah. At Howard. Leave us be. Did you see, though, the comparison of when he did Sunday Service
Starting point is 01:12:28 and the DaBaby show? That was the day before. And he had like 12 people compared to the DaBaby show. Anyway, that was just a very interesting image where it's like, that's where I was like, okay, good on you, Howard.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Like at least the student, most of the students are like not here for it. And it was probably just fans from the DC area that just who just came out because I'm everything he says is just is Absolutely insane. It's like just yeah, they were like is he doing music or I know he's speaking Like that's such a big foundation of the black community and a lot of us are raised in the church And it's like still just such aggressive. It's not even ultra like being gospel It's like what the fuck is this like it's empty calories we made this guy wasn't in the booth no he went on the ones or the twos that this is the kind of thing if my grandmother rest her soul
Starting point is 01:13:15 was still alive and saw this she would be sucking her teeth at this shit but that's what i'm saying this is just purely commercial saying hey i'm just, it's clear what I'm doing here. Yeah. Yeah, I guess in my mind, I just think that he is in such a state where he's unable to objectively look at what he's doing as being good. That he thinks this is tight to him. I think he believes that he can get a bunch of people to hop on this wave with him. Right, and he's entered a partnership with Kim Kardashian where it's like,
Starting point is 01:13:43 Kim's not going to tell you not to do that. Nobody in that family is going to tell you not to do something. Well, because anything they do is going to make – Yeah, because it makes them money. That's the bottom line. Yeah. And I think with him, like you just said, even if he doesn't – if somewhere he knows this isn't that great –
Starting point is 01:14:00 I think he thinks it's great. I think so, too. But I think that's also part of Kanye's genius and what got Kanye to be Kanye is he can sell shit. No, absolutely. But I think this is where he's going to lose people because a lot of his other things weren't so sacred. It was
Starting point is 01:14:15 very secular ego shit. He went after college. Huh? He went after people getting a college. The first thing he went after was after that. That's a pretty sacred institution he went after. No, but I mean in terms of religion, right? Like if you are not Christian, the lyrics he's saying are not going to resonate with you at all. And you might be like, what does this even mean?
Starting point is 01:14:36 Like I'm not sure. It can be less accessible, I think, to some people. But I mean Chick-fil-A is pretty accessible to all. And that's what I think. That's the genius. But I mean, Chick-fil-A is pretty accessible to all. And that's what I think. That's the genius. Well, it's like, why?
Starting point is 01:14:46 Why is it OK for Reverend Al Green to do it? You know what I mean? Because it sounded better. That's what I'm saying. Like, he's like a black person. But he's more believable. But it's clear Reverend Al Green is still out slaying pussy. Oh, for sure.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Even though he preaches once a month, you know, in Memphis. Sure. But to get all that tax credit, like to me, it's very clear what he's doing. But I just think he's doing real sloppy. Well, that's what makes me think he's doing it for some other reason than to just make money is to point out this like like Joel Osteen motherfuckers and those dudes who were just racking up right.
Starting point is 01:15:25 Millions, making a lot of money, like so much money. It could be. I mean, look, I think at the end of the day, he does have this weird Christ complex where he believes he's at the
Starting point is 01:15:33 center of the universe and he can, he can solve the world's ills because he's been trying to do that with like trying to create housing and these other things like his mind, he's in a completely different headspace. And I think this might be the end of him as a music artist. Like, I think me personally at the, the point of the Yeezus album, I was like, okay, this is taking on a whole other thing that I'm not really into. But now seeing where he's at, I would believe this.
Starting point is 01:15:56 His saving grace was the beats. And these beats are what they used to be. Hey, but you know what? I thought the clothing stuff was funny. I thought charging people $3 to $4. $170 for a hoodie. Those shoes are fire, though. Times New Roman font on the sleeve. But that's his genius. I've been fighting buying them shoes.
Starting point is 01:16:11 See, look how I got you. But that's another part of his genius. It's like one thing is really, really great. And then he merchandises all this other stuff with the marketing. Evil genius. He is. All right.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Well, thank you so much, Billy and Lacey. It was a pleasure. It was exciting. It was a pleasure to finally meet you. Yes, to finally meet you. We should do more of these. Yes. Oh, yeah.

But if you piss me off, I will take it away from you. I started giving it to my broke-ass friends. Why are there so many men on here and it's all fucked up?
Starting point is 01:17:55 Just only watching Desus and Mero. That is kind of what I usually want for you. A woman tweeted, ladies, if he hasn't asked you to be his girlfriend, then you're single, sis. And another woman retweeted on top of it. Y'all got to stop giving men so much power. Tell that nigga your boyfriend. And if he says no, jump on him. Who's that from?
Starting point is 01:18:23 Oh, my God. I got to find who it's from because I think I liked it, but I didn't. I don't know where it is. Okay, you'll retweet. Here's one. Nia Lewis. Remember, overdressed is a social construct created by your haters. Your haters, yes.

It is very frustrating. All because you told poor people to advocate for themselves. I did, and then I told... It's curious. I released a video making fun of President Pence. Future President Pence.
Starting point is 01:19:18 And then right after that, I couldn't get him on my fucking Instagram. I don't think it has anything to do with it, but it is a nice thought that they were like, that kid. We gotta stop him. Yeah. That you is a nice thought that they were like, that kid. We gotta stop him. Yeah. They have that much power, they shut you down. Yeah,

I think he's the head writer on Colbert. He said, I saw a comment on WeRateDogs, which is that fun Twitter from a guy complaining that the rating system makes no sense since all the dog ratings get above a 10.
Starting point is 01:20:23 And I feel so damn sorry for him. That just makes me laugh so hard. There is probably some person like, 13 out of 10? Why even have the 10? What's uppers, puppers? It's like you love every dog
