Can Kay trust her sister or is history repeating itself?
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
They're just dreams.

It's Monday, October 28th.
I am Mr. Miles Gray, a.k.a. T-D-Z Smokin', Smokin'.
Pearl Jam.
In case y'all didn't know, that's me doing Eddie Vedder.
And shout out to at Emilio R. Gomez for that one.
And look, y'all, you know when daddy's in the driver's seat,
I had a few sips, and he's got a few friends in the back seat.
And who's riding shotgun with me today?
None other than Mr. Uncle Baby Billy Wayne Davis.
How y'all doing?
That was good.
I mean, that's such a sad song to start off with.
Yeah, yeah.
But I love that song.
Oh, it's amazing.
Yeah.
Well, you know, especially at the time, you didn't know what the fuck it was about.
No.
Because I was maybe 10, maybe 9.
I was just having this conversation.
I went back and listened to a couple things.
Remember that song Live?
Yeah.
That band Live, Lightning Crashes?
Yeah.
That was on the radio.
Yeah, what is that about?
It was like, a new placenta falls to the floor.
And you're like, that was all over the radio.
I remember being in high school and being like Singing that song But listening to it as an adult
Like this is
What was I singing
Hey man
This is a tough
Tough climb to the charts
Up the charts
Uh and
So
We got Billy
To my left
Now who do I have
To my right
Oh
Y'all don't even fucking know
Get ready
Get your fucking
Hide your ATM cards
Hide all your
Passwords
Passports
Forms of identification
Fucking DWP bills.
Because we got the scam goddess in the building, Lacey Mosley.
Welcome.
Hey.
How are you?
I'm fantastic.
Wait, okay, I had an AK on my heart.
Oh, go ahead.
And I'm going to do it.
Oh, shit.
This is a deep cut, and it's only, I think only a few select white women are going to understand this.
This one's rip away.
So, white women, this one's for you.
AKA. select white women are going to understand this. Rip away. So white women, this one's for you. A.K.A.
I was scamming on your daddy at the moment
of my death.
Fraudulence
I created
outlasted my last breath.
My cons became
an avalanche and buried
a man I never knew.
And when he died, his widowed bride met your daddy and they made you.
There's only one thing I can do and that's keep running scams and then sink back into the ocean.
Whoa.
What the fuck was that?
That's where all the Fiona Apple.
Which song?
Which Fiona Apple song is that?
That's the intro song to The Affair.
That Showtime show?
Yes.
Okay.
Who wrote?
Is that a written for you?
No, I wrote that.
You wrote that?
I was high and I was watching The Affair.
And I knew I was coming on here.
And I was like, I'm going to remix this song.
Thank God.
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
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
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
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?
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?
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,
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
yeah,
since the jump.
It's a problematic turnout.
Yeah.
Well,
that's kind of what this whole thing is,
huh?
Hmm.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask,

the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the
arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout
Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to
share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey.
But this was only the beginning.
In a story about faith and football,
the search for meaning away from the gridiron
and the consequences for everyone involved.
You mix homesteading with guns and church
and 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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-
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
And what's happening
She's never had stress
In her whole life
No
Like none
And she's had
Full house money
Forever
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.
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,
tailgate,
like rich part.
But she was,
she's glowing.
Glowing.
Oh my God.
And I was like,
I was the same way.
I was like,
man,
this is a very attractive,
oh,
I know who this woman is.
You have no stress.
None.
Yeah.
None.
That's why Jennifer Aniston
looked like that too.
Yes.
Yes,
because she's aware
of what she has.
And then,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
But I wonder,
you know,
I mean,
that'll,
that'll be a messy,
petty episode
where we dig up
their bank receipts
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm good.
Okay, move over, Candace.
All right.
What are we talking about?
Trump.
Love him.
So hot.
So sexy.
Big hands.
There you go.
Twitter likes are coming in.
All right, let's take a quick break

former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man,
former NFL player, devout Christian,
now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.
I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity
to now a Hebrew Israelite.
I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.
In a story about faith and football,
the search for meaning away from the gridiron
and the consequences for everyone involved.
You mix homesteading with guns and church
and 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.

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. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in
both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your

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 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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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 –
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
We're going to have to do a college counselor episode where we're taking calls from parents
trying to figure out what their kids should do.
Just send them on the road for about two months and let them come back.
Exactly.

I have been liking.
Hey let me also get like your show time
login. You sound like you're doing all right.
I'll give you my showtime login.
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?
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?
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.
Love that tweet.
Nia Lewis, yes.
Billy.
Oh, you got another one?
No, go ahead.
Billy Wayne.
Where can people find you, follow you, support you, see you?
At Billy Wayne Davis on Twitter. At Instagramy wayne davis although i'm locked out
currently in a battle battle with instagram it's not heated because they're not answering oh but
you're screaming yeah i've just been like hey and they're like call us and i'm like i'm trying with
what number post this in the reply you know it? 1-800-INSTAGRAM. 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.
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,
they're like,

We gotta nip this thing in the bud.

Is there any tweets you liked?
Yes.
It's from Brian Stack.
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.
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
so much. It doesn't make sense.
You're just like, oh man, that's a shitty
life you're leading. Oh, my goodness.
Well, you can find me and follow me
at milesofgray on Twitter and Instagram.
Some tweets I like. First one is
from Jaboukie.
Therapists should end each session
with a forehead kiss.
I really believe that. That would really help bring everything home.
And also, this one's from Satan
at S8N. Oh, you like
God? Then what's his last name?
I just don't know
that was funny
I love all of those
what is God's last name?
doesn't have one
I want to know
who did the one about women
I wish I could remember
but it was like
oh you a feminist?
name all the women

it was like
oh you like history?

great construction
great tweet construction.
