we live in hell i mean we've we've been keeping people we have no housing like we already didn't
have any housing and now all these people like hundreds maybe thousands of people displaced
from those tornadoes have just been living in hotels this whole time and it's been how long
it's been like over a month right yeah it was in early de. It's been like three months. Jesus Christ. I guess two full months.
Oh, damn, man.
Yeah, and like staying in a hotel every day, man.
That's like nobody can.
With a family.
Like kids literally going to school, getting picked up and dropped off at hotels.
Yeah, man.
And being denied.
And like some of the reasons it said they were denied.
I'm just fucking.
Yeah, because the dude wasn't on the lease even though he was subletting his roommate was subletting the apartment so fema's like that's not a primary residence so you don't
we can't we can't prove that they own such and such or or most of them were denied because they
uh missed an inspection they had to be inspected or something
it's like this whole town is flat where are you supposed what are you doing what are you fucking
doing what if you lose documents though that you're supposed to be using the police to get
aid in there your house got fucking swept away by a tornado who knows down the mississippi bitch
go dig it up that shit is being! That shit is being used by a bird
to, like, you know,
fill their nest right now.
It's a hog's nest, motherfucker!
Good luck!
Oh, shit. That shit did reach to Georgia.
I can't believe his
dumb fucking ass came down here
and walked around.
For some reason, that's for some reason that's like my
sticking point that he walked his happy ass around town that's the bleakest part of it though right
he walked around down here then went back and was like no no don't don't give it to him
no don't give it to him they didn't they didn't suffer enough it was that bad they don't need it
Nah, don't give it to them.
They didn't suffer enough.
It wasn't that bad.
They don't need it.
I mean, I have to, for work, I have to, like, write up a little fucking update about what's happened the last three months politically in Kentucky, and I just want to write FAILED
STATE in all caps.
Failed State.
Like, what's there to say?
I don't know what else to fucking say.
It's the whole point of me not knowing what even to do about this here program we have. I don't know what else to fucking say it's the whole point of me not not not knowing what even to do about
this here program we have i don't know what else to say we live in the ultimate hell we really do
that all i know is to give give valentine's to people that's it i really i just i found a bulk
sale on vibrators that look like little tubes of lipstick and I just gave them to all my friends
I don't know what else to do
I'm at the end of my rope
you just gotta carve out little crannies of happiness
like community where you can't
cause otherwise you just go insane
I'm just in here making dog valentines
I don't know what else to do
you can't be emotionally raw dog in reality
shaking in a corner
cutting out hard construction paper.
That's where we're at.
Yeah, and defeat him, cutting construction paper like a kindergarten.
Yeah.
But, at least I'm in my own house.
Well, that's someone else's owns.
Not in a fucking hotel.
Shit's great.
Sorry I came in hot here. Nah in hot here nah we're here for it before we even hit play
no i've been recording well last night i got well yesterday i checked my mail
and i was opening up my mail last night and i had a
thank you for it was a frankfurt address i was like and it was a handwritten uh envelope and i
was like oh god am i being sued what is this because anything coming from frankfurt i don't
want it it's good and scary the last thing they sent me was that i'm three fucking points away
from having to hire a driver and having my license taken somebody's gonna have to drive me around but just no small accident i spent all morning
in the frankfurt dmv or transportation cabinet what do they call it here we're getting a new
license well i failed my uh permit test yesterday. Incredible.
What was it?
This is like the show Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader
because this test is for 15-year-olds.
Well, yeah.
It was me
and like three pimply-faced
kids and
they put me on a computer
like a touch menu
type deal. and i stopped the
test like i didn't stop it i waved to the test doctor i said ma'am i said i just started and
it says i've already skipped 18 questions and and missed five i said what's the deal
and she said oh it's oh it's circling back around i was like i've not even made it through it it's
like what i'm trying to tell you it's like i just hit i know this to be correct because i'm 36 years
old and been driving for 20 years and it counted it as missed you're arguing with the wall i did i
stopped it twice i was like something's not right here. And then it glitched
out for a second and when it came back, all
the numbers on the bottom were changed.
And I was like,
what is going on here?
Somebody trying to stop you from getting
your license, man. I don't know
what it was. Well, it was weird though because
I don't know if y'all have taken
the permit test since you've been 16,
but
it's not stuff like, what does this sign mean?
And what does this mean?
And what do you do at a blinking yellow light?
And what do you do at a blinking red light?
And whatever, whatever.
It's now like copaganda shit.
It's now like, true or false, or not true or false, but you can lose your license for six months if you do which of the following things?
And one's like backtalking officer.
One's like refuse a search.
And then it's like if you refuse a breathalyzer.
It sounds like all of the above.
They got like a fourth option that's like well
it's like actually cops can do whatever they want so any of these are right yeah what happened
they were catching heat from killing too many they're they're um what they're doing is they're
now baking into the driver's tests like how not to get shot by the police because the police are killing too many
people and so they're like well we got to do something we have to teach people how not to get
instead of just you know taking defunding the police defunding the police taking the guns out
of their hands or whatever it's like no no you can't say we didn't warn you we taught you how
not to do it and if you get shot it's your fault now so yeah if you fail the permit you deserve to get shot that's weird there's a bill in the kentucky state legislature right now
that would make it to where every school district can form its own police department
like every like like high school middle like an agency history school like like a full
like a whole ass agency not just like
school resource officers
instead of deputy dumbass
with like condoms and pads in his
pockets walking around
we got a whole fucking fleet
of robocops
ready to pop off
deputy dumbass like teaches you
how to put on a condom and how to
solve a homicide case
wait so is this is this independent of like the local police forces that already exist i think so
yeah i think it's like how college campuses have their own police forces i think that like now
it would be it would make it to where like yeah like your local elementary school can have its own like car fork creek police squad you know
and they like fucking arrest kids for like huffing aerosol cans or something i don't know what was
that what was that arnold schwarzenegger movie where he was a cop in like kindergarten kindergarten
cop yeah yeah yeah it's like that but they'll be able to like have black sites like where they can
like disappear there'll be like black sites in the boiler rooms.
Disappear children.
Right, right, right.
Disappear children in the boiler rooms.
No, they're going to institute chokies.
Like for Matilda, they're getting chokies back.
Chokies are making a comeback in Kentucky.
Wait, what are chokies?
You never seen the movie Matilda?
Yeah, I've seen Matilda. In Trish Bolt's office, she's got are chokies? You never seen the movie Matilda? Yeah, I've seen Matilda.
In Trich Bolt's office
she's got a chokie. It's a tiny closet
with nails sticking out all around the kids.
Oh, it's like Iron Maiden? Yeah.
She sticks the kids in there.
Using medieval torture devices on children?
Yeah, calls it the chokie.
We're not too far away.
This is actually a nice little segue for a story
that was going around last week.
We didn't get to cover.
Honestly, put me in the chokie.
The chokie.
They hold them in the chokie before they put them in the pokey.
The chokie to pokey.
The chokie to pokey.
That's good.
Slippery slope.
Fuck me.
This is in the Daily Independent.
Boyd Sheriff opposed to upcoming performance.
This is Catlettsburg, Kentucky.
The Boyd County Sheriff is voicing his displeasure
after the tourism office announced
a country music artist
with a song entitled
Fuck the Popo will be performing
at the Boyd County Convention and Arts Center
March 17th. Sheriff
Bobby Jack Woods
Bobby Jack, that's a great name.
Bobby Jack.
Bobby Jack.
Bobby Jack's nephew's girlfriend's sister-in-law.
I used to cut her grandma's grass.
Sheriff Bobby Jack Woods said his deputies will not be providing security for Country Music Act Corey Smith.
I'm adamantly opposed to anyone coming to Boyd County promoting anti-law enforcement rhetoric and sentiment, Woods said.
I was informed about this in late December, and I said I would not be providing security.
Ashland Police Chief Todd Kelly expressed his displeasure as well, saying he was disappointed an artist would write a song against the police.
Like, never been done in the history of popular music.
Exactly.
It's like, you can't try to ride like you
can't be trying to ride like the nwa wave like that happened like two decades ago you know that
happened like 30 years ago man that's nobody cares anymore no that's that i mean it's crazy i mean
just it's absurd for like a thousand different reasons but it's like if obviously like the police
know that they don't exist to protect people anymore and so they're
just cutting out the bullshit and they're just like well we're not going to do anything where
our feelings might get hurt but it is interesting like if we lived in the ideal world where police
did what they were supposed to do it's like all speech should be protected so if you have a song
that's fuck the popo like you should still have to show up and do your fucking job i mean that's just part
of it right right right i mean i'm not saying i want them to come because they'll probably wind
up like shooting 13 people on accident or something so it's like whatever but you know it's still
absolutely absurd when the people give you an idea of like how highly they think of themselves you
know like they're the dividing line between
like anarchy and between like lawlessness and shit like that you know they're like we're not
going to show up to this concert like good motherfucker don't come uh-huh yeah they're
probably going to come in plain clothes inside a ride and say that it was uh because they weren't
there right well it's like cops are just advertisers now they're just trying to convince
us they're worth they're like they are something yeah exactly
i don't even know if cory smith the artist like if if that's even a big okay first of all i don't
know who's cory smith is but if he's got a song called fuck the popo that's pretty dope i'm down
with that is it a country song i gotta say that's a welcome sea change for bro country, though. Yeah, seriously. I was about to say, if he's country, he's stepping out.
He's stepping out from the bro line.
He's an island man in that world.
He's featured on such compilations as Mud Digger 1 and Mud Digger 2.
Okay.
Is this a guy that's in Bubba Sparks' clique?
You know how he does that Sparks' clique? Yeah
You know how he does that country rap stuff now?
Yeah
Oh shit
I mean
We're gonna have to pull it up
He's like in the same milieu as like
Cross Canadian Ragweed
And like
Trent Tom
I mean these are just like they're just country
boys
but it is interesting that I mean
who knows if he would even play that song
like you know what I mean like
it's just a song
it's not even
confirmed that he was gonna play this song
he just has a song called Fuck the Popo
that's why they did whatever they did
someone tipped them off someone was like hey man just letting you guys know core smith he's
got a song called fuck the popo and they were like no for for motherfuckers who like walk around with
like guns and tanks and shit like that they're so fucking soft man i'm want to say this uh you know the aunties the people who protest and harass
patients outside of abortion clinics yeah when they get pregnant and need an abortion
and they call the abortion funds those people who were harassing people in front of the clinic
do you know what the abortion fund does
they fund their fucking abortion yeah regardless of this like these fucking cops are insane people
they're actually getting paid right yeah yeah you if you could just sit there and like hear
somebody hurl insults at you but you get paid. I mean, that's what podcasting is, right?
I get paid for this shit, bro.
People call me all types of names, man.
I do my fucking job.
And you show up dutifully.
I clock the fuck in
to take your crits.
That's what I showed up for.
And you get to carry a gun, motherfucker.
Stop complaining, man. Stop bitching. Yeah yeah you are the softest little bitch alive this is interesting and like it wasn't
even that big a dance it just said fuck you like you never had no your cousin ain't never said
fuck you it wasn't like kill the po-po it is very interesting it is a very interesting thing like
if someone had
a song called, like,
Fuck the Accountants,
and, like, you were an accountant,
you'd probably be like,
Yeah, man, fuck the accountants.
I fucking hate this goddamn job.
Bunch of CPAs show up
in a picket church concert.
See, if I do that,
motherfuckers tax us.
I think... Can we do like a quick read-through of the lyrics of this song?
Yeah, we should.
Before we do that, let me give you the background for why it was written.
Okay.
I think we probably, just gesture broadly.
I think we got that part.
Well, it's, okay, hold on cory smith is
his name right oh fuck the popo all right um he wrote the song in 2003 oh fuck it almost 20 years
ago wrote this song oh wait wait no i'm. The song at the center of the controversy was written about a 2003 roadblock in which Smith was arrested for disorderly conduct.
The charges were subsequently thrown out.
Since pinning the song, it has met its fair share of controversy.
A venue in Chattanooga, Tennessee pulled the plug on his set when he performed it in 2011.
Jesus Christ.
Smith has gone on to state publicly he is friends with many officers and does not think
all law enforcement is bad
boo come on man
Corey you were doing so good
well you know what like all those
all the cops that are crying about
anti-law enforcement sentiment and everything
are the same people that in the
next breath say oh well
you can't hold
against somebody what they said 20 years ago
yeah right like somebody like there's a tape of somebody saying the n-word well that cuts both
ways motherfucker that's what you think you can't hold it against somebody that uh 18 19 years ago
they said fuck the popo it was a different time than it was accepted. Oh, man.
It was normal.
Let's see the lyrics to this.
I'm going to read the lyrics.
Blue lights flashing, they got traffic stopped,
and Highway 11's done turned into a permanent roadblock.
I wasn't driving.
I wasn't driving.
My wife was my DDd and she hasn't drank
a drop still got hassled by the jpd and i said hey dude can't you just leave her alone alone
she ain't done nothing wrong man and we just want to go home man that's i mean like i i mean this
shit does it's it's uh it does happen and it fucking Yeah, I mean, and I was mad as hell thinking,
fuck the popo, and they wonder why folks don't trust them no more.
No mo.
And I'm not going to let this go, and I'm singing fuck the popo.
So I got arrested just for speaking up, and that cop said,
boy, the only right you have is to shut the fuck up.
Now I'm a jailbird.
I've done time in the pen,
and I've got a real messed up story to tell all my friends.
Yeah, my name was in the newspaper in my hometown.
They ruined my reputation because I didn't bow down.
And now I'm Metis Helsing and fuck the po-po,
and they wonder why people don't trust them no more.
Anyways.
Your local newspaper will put your worst facebook pictures in the paper they absolutely
will they they think they they are an investigative tabloid is what they think
but if you've got a picture of you holding a gun on facebook bitch you're done
listen it's about to be a headline it's the cover the whole cover of the paper listen to
this lyric listen to this lyric my man cory got a taste of um uh what happens to the black
underclass of this country he said now i understand why all these rappers are mad
they must have been treated as badly as i have now i'm yeah jesus he says now i'm screaming matter
i just love that i just love that like not to say that what he what happened to him isn't bad
it doesn't suck you know what i mean but like you know like you're comparing like getting like
harassed by the police you You know what I'm saying?
Like, getting, like, drugs planted on you and shit like that to, like, a cop telling you to shut the fuck up.
You know, at a roadblock.
It's interesting.
I love it.
I love it.
This song, actually, I think you're right.
It's not a comparison, Aaron.
But I do think it's an interesting kind of lyrical exploration of the way the cops work.
He said,
they're putting roadblocks in front of my house, man.
I'm starting to feel like I live under the Taliban.
Can't drive home without a gun in my face.
Thursday through Sunday, they're invading my space.
And it's true.
I mean, you can't.
In a way, Corey Smith was kind of the oracle, wasn't he?
I like what policing would become and be widely criticized for, like today.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
While using intersectionality, you know?
I mean, not to say that stuff is like, you know,
wasn't happening for time immemorial,
but I'm just saying that feels timely
in a way you don't really see in
this strain of the genre especially it's it's country do we confirm it's a country song it is
apparently i ain't heard it yet i mean let's see this is i mean it's just cory's just uh
tossing up a little solidarity
oh my god does that sound country to you tanya fucking taliban I'm just tossing up a little solidarity.
Oh my God.
Does that sound country to you, Tanya?
The fucking Taliban.
Oh, am I the, am I the desider? You're the arbiter of country music.
Is that sufficiently country for you?
I don't know what's country.
I mean, it's, the interesting thing about this
is that I think this song is a pretty measured criticism of the cops.
Basically, what happened was he was driving home one night.
His wife was sober, and he was shit-faced.
And they started giving his wife a hard time, and he got mad about that.
And they arrested him and sent him to jail.
And basically, all he's saying is, you wonder why people don't trust you anymore
you wonder why all this shit is happening like look at what's happening you can't go anywhere
without a fucking gun being put in your face like this it's pretty mild just observations about like
the way the police function but it's just like they got their panties in a fucking wand and and
decide you like at this they're like not we in a fucking wand and and decide like at this
they're like not we're not we're not gonna provide security at this guy's concert no no from a song
from 2003 though like that means that they had to like have searched like his discography or some
shit and found that song man yeah i guess well this happened to him in 2003 It looks like this song is from 2008 But still that's a long time ago
What did they do about Bone Thugs and Harmony
When they came there last week
Bone Thugs
Was Bone Thugs up there
Bone Thugs played Ashland
What
Did they go out and hop
Yeah
Did Bone Thugs have a personal escort through Ashland What? Did they go out and hop for a second? Yeah.
Did both thugs have a personal escort through Ashland?
I'm curious, because Ashland's not necessarily what I'd call a hotbed for sort of live performance or anything like that.
But yeah, they sure as hell were there.
Well, they got the Paramount.
That's a beautiful theater.
I saw Loretta Lynn there. Is that where they played. That's a beautiful theater. I saw Loretta Lynn there.
Is that where they played? That is a beautiful theater.
It's a beautiful theater.
I don't know.
And that's what you're talking about.
That is a beautiful theater.
Sound like you owe the theater with that voice
I should have thrown myself down the stairs
I could have owned it
Well, um, Corey
You have a freestanding invitation to the Trailbillies
If you want to come on
Yeah, Corey, come on
If you want to tell your story
Okay, it sucks so bad.
We're going to roast him.
Come get roasted.
Corey, come on.
We've never invited anybody to come get roasted on the show.
I think it's a good idea, honestly.
I'm not going to roast him.
I think that he should be supported for talking shit about the cops.
And I think he should stand his ground, man.
Fuck these goddamn cops.
Hey, was this a, did he have a recent
comment
in the article?
No. Yeah, did they reach out to him?
These are his lyrics from 2018.
From 2008. We ain't talked to the boy
in 20 years.
Does he still hate the police?
I don't know.
If he comes out and says,
no, no, I love the cops. Sorry, guys.
Please come to my show.
Then we'll say, gotta go, Corey.
Zoom is freezing up.
Sorry, we lost you, Corey.
We lost Corey.
At Mountain Internet, honey.
Well, I finally went down.
My bad, Corey.
My bad, dog. Well, I finally went down with my bad car. My bad, dog.
Well, thanks.
This was a great conversation on policing with country singer Corey Smith.
The obvious choice for these things.
I'm going to pee on myself.
It's like, you know when John Ruhle was on MTV
and they asked him about 9-11
he came on and talked about police
the perfect person
a paradigm
of country intersectionality
yeah
I'm still so sad
y'all got mixed up in that
fire festival shit
right like this great tragedy has happened man on this like geopolitical scale and they ask you
what do you think about
shit man Well, at the very least, we can talk about mudding.
I'm a mudder from way back.
I've done my fair share of mudding.
What's mudding?
Is that mud wrestling?
Yeah, mud wrestling.
Yeah, mud wrestling.
Muddiggers.
I'd like to see that, Terrence.
mud diggers i'd like to see that terrence i used to i used to envy the guys that had a mudding truck that was like the high water mark of just uh you know i just had like shit kicker friends
in high school that would like take me with them just to like you know see if they could like um
you know see if like the nerdy skinny guy would get really unnerved, like, you know, like, being, you know, look at those, like, four-wheel drive trucks and, like, fucking drive them through, like, you know, mud pits and shit.
I don't know.
Yeah, like, badass shit to see if you could, like, hang.
Yeah.
Scared pussy.
I hung.
I was down, man.
Sounds pretty homoerotic.
Whoever was smoking weed in their truck.
That's where I'd go.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that was pretty interesting.
So, yeah, but I guess they're still going to have the concert
because the guy who, like, booked it and organized it and everything,
he's just going to hire out a private security firm with, like,
staffs off-duty cops.
That's interesting, actually, man. It's kind of made me think i mean we don't
got to get into it but it's made me think like the future of policing and like i mean yeah police are
getting money but i mean there are a lot of police departments too where like you know like the
resources like i mean people don't give a fuck you know what i'm saying like they talk about
funding the police and they're pro-police but i mean you have local police departments that are
like i don't want to say suffering i don't want to use that word to from their point of view they're pro police but i mean you have local police departments that are like i don't want to say suffering i don't want to use that word to from their point of view they're suffering but
it's just like yo you live in a system where you could just hire out a private police force well
i think most concerts do that anyways and in fact now that i think about it i think that the actual
police very rarely provide security for any concerts period so like this is just a stunt
really yeah and when they did it's just a whiny baby tail
it's just a whiny exactly but i mean even when they did like astroworld man like the cops fucking
weren't there to do the things they were supposed to do you know to keep it safe and shit right
that's because satan was
somebody's always watching out let that be a lesson to you I kind of need to know
If this is all happening
Going down at the Paramount Theater
What this show?
I don't see
Yeah
Paramount
Where's that?
I don't think it's at the
Is it?
Damn I already closed the fucking
I already closed Wynonna Judd's it's at the... Is it? Damn, I already closed the fucking...
I already closed it.
Wynonna Judd's gonna be at the Paramount in June.
My God.
Boyd.
We really are just doing live music again, aren't we?
No, it's at the Boyd County Convention and Arts Center.
I don't know if that's the same thing as the Paramount or what.
No, I ain't been there.
Wynonna. Yeah, I ain't been there. Winona.
Yeah, man, live concerts again.
We have to move on from the pandemic.
Apparently.
Apparently.
Well, anyways, they could just book.
What they could do is they could just book Kid Kentucky.
Do you know who Kid Kentucky is?
No.
Is he the rapper?
What he is is he is a Kid Rock lookalike.
He sounds and looks exactly like Kid Rock,
but he's Kid Kentucky.
There's one in every state.
That's why he's named so.
Right, there's a Kid Alabama, a Kid Rhode Island.
Kid Georgia.
You got a Kid New York, Kid New Jersey.
Kid New Hampshire, yeah.
Kid Vermont, yeah.
Yeah, they got a dude who's a Drake lookalike, man,
and that's what he does.
He gets paid out by, like, venues to go to parties and look like Drake.
Have you all ever went to Instagram and typed in hashtag white Drake?
Nah.
Oh, man.
Thank me later.
Thank me later.
It's a bunch of motherfuckers that look like a thumb that like...
Saying that they're the white dreg.
Amazing.
Oh, shit.
Well, okay.
There's like so many things to talk about this week.
It's almost unreal.
Like there's so many things.
I don't even know where to start. We gonna do buffet style again?
Yeah, we gonna go dim sum again?
We could do that.
So, I mean, I don't even know where to begin.
So, the very first thing, thing I guess that comes to mind is on the show last week I wanted to talk about the Marco Rubio pro-labor bill.
But that's old news by this point.
Do we even want to talk about that?
Is there even anything there we could talk about?
No.
about that? Is there even anything there we could talk about?
What else we got?
It feels like Russian roulette.
Yeah, what else we got?
There's Dolly
Parton pledging
to give all of her
employees free community
college, even though people already get free community college in Tennessee.
But, like, people celebrated it like Benevolent Dolly was.
Well, now, Terrence, people coming straight out of high school
can get free community college, not everybody.
Oh, that's true.
My bad.
Well, then that's good.
It's not everybody.
Oh, that's true.
My bad.
Well, then that's good.
This is just another perk to live out your retirement working for Dollywood.
Did we pull Dolly to the left?
No.
Yeah, we pulled Dolly left. I don't think we have.
Jury's out, I'd say.
I can change her.
By the time you wrote that article, you did change Tom, you wrote that article, you did change her.
You wrote that article, you did change her.
It was Tom's article, he did.
She read that, she'd have felt bad about herself.
Good job, Tom.
Getting the goods.
Getting the goods.
DA got the goods.
You're welcome, employees of dollywood i'm the reason now we have to go to school i'm the reason you gotta pull summer classes at severe county community college Oh man
Jesus Christ
So there's the Dolly thing

To take him at least a few feet off the ground
Wow
I cannot believe he touched her
This motherfucker is really senile
That is brazen
I mean to lay hands on somebody like this.
I mean, he's got to be sundown in a little bit.
You know, even for his standard, that's a little out there.
He probably doesn't even remember.
He's 84.
I mean, he is a fossil.
He is ancient.
Like, he is so fucking old.
But, yeah. She could have literally just tripped him and ended him right there i know he would have shattered on the floor hit the ground
dust yeah that's what that's the people that are ruining our lives
they could be taken down with a fucking spit wand.
This is ridiculous.
You just blow it up and they'd kill over you.
Right.
That is an interesting thing.
You wouldn't even need the Lee Harvey Oswald with the rifle in the bug depository.
You could just hit them with a straw and a spit ball and their fucking head would explode.
That's how old they are.
One drink of McDonald's Sprite in this motherfucker.
Yeah, that's true.
One goddamn fizzy water going down the wrong pipe
and we're out of this nightmare.
Ever since Tom used his mic cord to try to hang himself i can't

dried right out
but they still sent me a FEMA check.
Damn.
People missed
their inspections
because their literal home is gone.
They missed their inspections.
It's just
hypocritical, man. These people complain
about government and shit like that,
but when the institutions aren't doing their jobs,
they have nothing to say.
There's nothing left.
This government is useless.
It's not...
There's not even a shred
of fucking
anything left.
They can't do that.
Accountability? Not even accountability, man. They can't do a. Accountability? Not even accountability, man.
They can't do a goddamn thing.
What is the fucking point?
I just...
Hotels are
the only housing we have.
We can't even fucking house people.
Those fucking sick freaks
you said it's been like three months
god damn man
um
what's come of this
is he going to
is he getting took to the ethics committee
I don't know
is she suing his ass
I think it's ongoing
I think this is an ongoing story.
I know she did a press release.
I didn't listen to it, but I know she got on the news the other night.
I was talking about it.
Yeah, I saw her on CNN.
Where's she from?
What's her district?
I don't know.
I'm afraid to...
Let's see here.
Oy, oy, oy.
I don't know.
I mean, while we're talking about sick cops
and sick old bastards...
Ohio.

Territory Go's street fight Territory
Go on street fight
Yeah do it Joyce Bader
Go on street fight
Hit up the homies
What else you got for us Terrence
Okay well you got
There's a few There's a few different articles we could do one that
okay so obviously there was one going around that was kind of funny uh it was op-ed in the
los angeles times uh who are you calling a warmonger by james kerchick uh that guy is an
idiot and a half, but he's...
I don't know.
I read it. It's kind of funny.
But I agree with him in this.
But I agree with him.
This guy's completely moronical,
but he makes some cogent points.
I hope somebody says that's about me one day.
Yeah. An idiot,
but logical.
Then there's a story in NPR about how if you're white and you use the race-neutral emoji,
it means you're privileged.
Wow.
So the yellow one is a sign of white privilege?
The yellow one's a sign of white privilege. The yellow one's a sign
of white privilege. I thought it was
the Sampson's. Just a heads up,
dog. Just a heads up.
You won't be out here using the yellow.
Don't do it.
If you're white, you better be using the goddamn
white emoji.
You will
be candy.
I always like the whites that go a little too arab slash latino with their
thumbs up just because they're like scared to embrace the white thumb oh bro i mean like i
had a boss but uh ed before i got the job it was at a diner like a restaurant place before i got
the job i had to do a phone call with him and text and shit like that actually it's before the
phone call even so i don't even know what he sounded like
um and the manager that referred me on my old job didn't tell me what he looked like he was a white
dude so when i was texting him man he was using the black like brown thumbs up emoji and shit
i was like yo this is a brother man
i was like, this is a brother, man. And then I heard his voice.
I was like, bro.
Why are you trying to Trojan horse me, man?
I don't care if you black or white.
I'm working the job anyway, motherfucker.
I need money.
Jesus Christ.
Was it some sorry to bother you shit?
Or was he really just a white guy guy He was really just a white guy man
We had really weird views
But yeah man
My boss at KVX sent me a black fist
One time
I was like
God damn it
My landlord does it
Six figures School shit My landlord does it Six figures
School shit
My landlord does
My landlord hits me with that
Mexican thumbs up every time I give her
Money for rent
Like a little too much melanin on that
Sir
Yeah for a
50 something blonde lesbiansomething blonde lesbian.
White blonde lesbian,
yes. She got a tanning
bed?
No. God, I've been
looking on realtor
websites and shit and
pictures of people's homes
with all their shit in it.
It's so interesting.
And so many houses, more than you would think
houses, have tanning bedrooms.
Really?
A room with a tanning bed in it.
I mean, not that I would ever get in one of those,
but just the concept is terrifying, man.
Like, what if that shit
fritzes out?
Well, we could read that one.
That's kind of the one I'm more partial to,
but actually this-
With that yellow emoji one?
Yeah, but this one actually seems kind of good too.
This is in the Washington Post.
Blue suburban moms, or blue, you know,
as in Democrat, blue suburban moms are mobilizing-
Not the blue fugates?
Not the blue fugates, no.
They've drank colloidal silver.
Blue suburban moms are mobilizing to counter conservatives in fights over masks book bans in diversity education this is about a
this is about a group called red wine and blue of 300 000 liberal suburban moms
so these these are like the analog
to the conservative moms
that we covered last week
when we talked about them
trying to ban the N-word.
So it's blue bagger versus red bagger.
Yeah, yeah, it is kind of, yes.
It is.
Yeah, I'm down for that one.
I don't know.
What do you guys think?
Which of those sounds
most interesting to you?
Honestly, the yellow emoji with it
and mostly because i just i'm like i'm thinking that my landlord would be the target audience for it so i want to see if she adjusts her behavior when rent's due next month
yeah i'm gonna say my old boss this episode. I'm going to see if she goes yellow
and remains on the side of the oppressor
or if she goes white
and is more realistic.
I'm going to send it to my old boss and be like,
bro, I'm going to call you in, man. I'm not calling you out. I'm calling you in.
Just listen to me.
Just a little heads up, bro.
Okay, well, let's see here.
NPR, which skin color
emoji should you use?
The answer can be more complex than you think.
This article has three authors,
and any time you see an article with three authors
or more than one author,
like, you're getting some interesting shit.
Heath Rosella identifies as three-quarters white
and one-quarter Filipino.
When texting, he chooses a yellow emoji
instead of a skin tone option because he
feels it doesn't represent any specific
ethnicity or color. He doesn't
want people to view his texts in a
particular way. He wants to go
with what he sees as the
neutral option and focus on the message.
I present as very pale,
very light skinned, And if I use the
white emoji, I feel like I'm betraying the part of myself that's Filipino, he said. But if I use
a darker color emoji, which maybe more closely matches what I see when I look at my whole family,
it's not what the world sees and people tend to judge that. In 2015, five skin tone options became available
for hand gesture emojis,
in addition to the default Simpsons-like yellow.
Choosing one can be a simple texting shortcut for some,
but for others, it opens a complex conversation
about race and identity.
Oh, my God.
Let me ask y'all a question.
Let me ask y'all a question.
We've trafficked enough in the NGO world
between all of us and campaigns and stuff.
Really, give me an over-under
of how many tough conversations
I've had about the skin tones
and the emotions.
Because if it's more than
just like some
jokesy banter
a la what we're doing right now.
All these motherfuckers need to be
like blocked and reported
and shut down and like their assets
seized by some authority.
I'm not usually
on the side of the state, but I would
welcome their assets being seized.
I'm an abolitionist.
They should have never gave these whites money
but like just the person
who before they respond with an emoji
has like a crisis of
racial identity
like what the fuck is wrong with you bro
you should be locked up in a padded room for the rest of your life
man get the fuck out of here
I used the line on Sheila last weekend.
I said,
Mom, people need to be left in rooms with drains
and never checked on again.
I think I speak for the entire jaundice community
when I say that we should have banned the yellow emoji
aaron were you gonna say something a second ago right before no no no go ahead go ahead um
all right i use the brown one that matches me said sarai cole an opera singer in germany
i have some friends who use the brown ones too, but they are not brown themselves. This confuses
me. Cole is originally
from California and identifies as black
and an American descendant of slavery.
She said that while she was not offended
when a non-brown friend used a dark
emoji, she would like to understand why.
I think it would be nice if it
is their
default, but if they're just using
it with me or other brown people,
I would want to look into that deeper and know why they're doing that.
I use the default.
What a horribly embarrassing thing to get like,
hey, could we just see all your texts where you use the emoji,
and you just color-coded it to the person you're talking to?
That would be hilarious for us us but it would be awful
i mean that's its own form of racism right like right like the same boss that i'm telling you
about man i'm talking so much shit about this motherfucker it doesn't matter he's listening
to show but like one time this is during the airport man i'm just dragging his ass this is
during the airport bad man like during the protests right when they were banning people trump has many people from coming in from certain seven muslim countries and this uh these two
muslim women came in and they were in their like hijabs and stuff right and this motherfucker
walks up to them on like middle of sunday brunch and says i want you to know that you're welcome
here and here's a gift card like you know what i mean like you're signaling them out to try to
perform anti like i don't know at that point i guess it's not anti-racist but i know what the
fuck it is just to be performative but it's like actually motherfucker that's even more racist
right yeah yeah yeah what the fuck are you doing you are basically essentializing them like what
you are is you're boiling their entire identity down to just that.
Exactly.
People are complex.
Right, right.
That said, if any restauranteurs feel bad about the heavy foot
of the British crown being on my people from the islands,
then feel free to give me a gift certificate.
The island. Feel free to give me a gift. I want to know, I want to talk about
what do you think people are most using the hand emojis for?
You think it's just a thumb up, thumb down situation?
Yeah.
What do y'all use hand emojis for?
I use the, you know, hang ten.
I use the bicep, the arm one.
Well, see, there's a robot arm bicep now.
You got a robot one?
I do the hang ten a lot, too.
And I go up a shade if it's like May through August,
and I go down a shade during the fall and winter months.
So you correlate
your emoji skittonius
with how my base tan looks.
Actually, I can't fault that. That's accurate.
It's the only
accurate way to do it.
After not a hard drinking,
it's the yellow mine's the yellow hanged in
um jennifer epperson from houston identifies as black and said she changed her approach
depending on who she was talking to i used the default emoji the yellow toned one for
professional settings and then i used dark brown emoji for friends and family. I just don't have the emotional capacity to unpack race relations in the professional setting.
And then we get a new subheader here.
Is the yellow emoji really neutral?
A 2018 study published by the University of Edinburgh looked at the use of different skin tone emojis, what is referred to as modified emojis,
on Twitter to find out if the modifiers contributed to self-representation.
Alexander Robertson, an emoji researcher at Google.
An emoji researcher.
An emoji researcher.
Somebody gets paid at Google, bro.
This dude works from home.
He makes about, I don't know three four hundred thousand
dollars a year maybe more uh-huh uh and he has a take-home uh covid testing kit he can test
himself endlessly he tests himself maniacally all day long every hour on the hour. And then he sends a hang tin that he sets to deck.
All clear.
All clear, baby.
All wavy gravy over here.
He is...
Y'all ever use the chef?
The chef one that's like...
The chef's kiss? Yeah.
Yeah.
After much debate,
my group chat has decided that's the fisting
emoji. It's the fisting emoji
yeah i thought you were gonna say like fisting emoji
and it also means delicious in italian delicious yeah i was gonna say i thought
you meant it's like anti-italian we decided that this was an anti-italian emoji
yeah if you put if you use that emoji and
it's just white like that's some cultural appropriation you know because like it's not
olive toned it's not olive tone mediterranean you know um okay alexander robertson an emoji
researcher at google and phd candidate involved in the study,
said the emoji modifiers were used widely,
but it was people with darker skin who used them in higher proportions and more often.
After another look at Twitter data,
Andrew McGill, then writer for The Atlantic,
found that some white people may stick with the yellow emoji because they don't want to assert their privilege by adding a light
skinned emoji to a text or to take advantage of something that was created to represent diversity
perhaps like heath or salad they don't want to think about how their message could be interpreted
but zara ramen a researcher and writer in berlin argues that the skin tone emojis make white
people confront their race as people of color often have to do.
For example,
she's,
she shared Sarai Cole's confusion when someone who is white uses a brown
emoji.
So she asked some friends about it.
One friend who is white told me that it was because he felt that white people
were overrepresented in the space that he was using the emoji. So he to kind of try and even the playing field what the fuck bro bro just say
you've been to miami
that's fascinating that person's rationale is fascinating. He's like, no, I'm trying to, like, you know.
It's like, there's too many.
I want to help out Team Black.
I want to help out Team Black.
I want to help out the spells, bro.
Help out the spells.
I'm not looking for a pad on the back.
I'm just doing my part.
I wasn't even going to mention it.
I wasn't even going to mention it.
Trying to fix the game in favor of my brother's assistants, man.
That's it. I respect it, man.
For me,
it does signal a kind of lack of awareness
of your white privilege in many ways.
Rahman, who in 2018 wrote
the article for the Daily Dot, The Problem with
Emoji Skin Tones That No One Talks About,
also challenges the view that the
yellow emoji...
Let me stop you just for a second.
Anytime, listen,
I just want to say this to all of you right now.
Anytime we ever feel bad about ourselves on this program,
like we're not doing a good job
or like we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel content,
just remember that somebody gave this man
probably a couple hundred bucks or something
to write a think piece
about the race implications of the emojis.
Well, I believe it's a woman,
so you've misgendered them already.
Sorry.
Also challenges the view that the yellow emoji, similar to the characters from the simpsons is
neutral because on that show there were yellow people and there were brown people and there
were black people she said there was a default in society to associate whiteness with being
raceless and the emojis gave white people an option to make their race explicit
i completely hear some people are just exhausted from having to do that many people of color have
to do that every day and are confronted with race every day ramen said but for many white people
they've been able to ignore it whether that's subconsciously or consciously their whole lives
yeah i i agree the thing is is i'm just not convinced that emojis is the best way to like
absolutely even this or you know i don't know anyways i'm not sure this is the arena where you
battle that out and sort that out this is this is this is not worthy to enter the marketplace of
ideas what i'm saying we just want health care and to abolish the police. These aren't big requests.
As a delegate of the black community,
black people don't care about emojis, man.
You don't give a shit about that shit.
That's elegant.
You don't care about this.
What's funny about this?
What about Android users where this is like?
Or like people with like, you know what I mean?
Like where this just doesn't even factor Into the equation
Or you got a flip phone
Or you got a brick
Maybe you know
You're on hard times
And you've got
One of those burner phones
You have to add minutes to
Every couple days
Exactly
That's when you gotta go back
To the race neutral emoticons man
You know like
Comma
You know what I mean
Like
Smiley
Oh yeah
Yeah like parentheses and shit.
Three less than.
Now, if you could find a way to be racist with emoticons.
Good luck.
That's a new frontier.
Three weeks, somebody else is going to write an article about how emoticons are racist.
How bringing emojis
was a new frontier
in like racial progress?
We were afraid to speak up
during the emoticon era.
Can't be silent anymore.
Now we won't be silent.
Yeah, Tanya,
now we won't be silent anymore.
Shit.
Ramon admits
there's no specific answer to all the questions about emoji use but said it was an opportunity to think about how people want to represent their identities
i think it's more one of those places where we just have to think about who we are and how we
want to represent our identities she said and maybe it does change depending on the season. Depending on the context you're in.
Depending on the season.
It's your thing, Tom.
It's, yeah.
I, that's.
And I hit the beach.
That's, so that's actually the end of the article.
That's how I let people know I've been on vacation.
Yeah.
The tan emoji.
Yeah, tan it up, tan it up.
Just darken it a little bit.
Well, I do like the implication here
though that if you don't use
that if you are white and you
are using the yellow
emojis, you're doing a
racism basically.
You are. Racism.
You're ignoring your privilege.
This is like 1000%
I could see something becoming
like a topic du jour in Sierra
Club. I know this is like making the
rounds.
There's going to be a ton of admin people
that are like, I'm going to adjust my behavior.
I just like to acknowledge my privilege.
Someone's getting called out.
Seize the fun.
Is somebody getting fired over this Yeah. Someone's getting called out.
Is somebody fucking fired over this article?
Someone's getting called out for their use of too many of the yellow thumbs up in an email.
Yeah, like they're getting this in their inbox in the morning,
like sending it to all the employees, the people that work there and shit like that.
You can't hide behind that yellow forever, Dave.
Well, this is weird.
I mean, as Jacob Bacharach pointed out on Twitter,
Zira Rahman is actually just an employee at a nonprofit.
I don't think she was even involved in this study.
I don't think she's an emoji director of emoji and empath studies at Google or anything.
Empath studies.
Just some rando.
Oh, God, man.
Shit, man.
I don't know.
Do people really not have anything better to do with their time?
I mean, imagine if that's the thing you research.
You just pour over Twitter data.
Like, that's grim.
Who reads that stuff anyway?
What if the only person that was the only archetype
that was meant to use the yellow emojis
were the people that say, I don't see race?
Not even the anti-racist, the people that don't see race at all.
Well, I think that's the implication.
I think the implication is that if you use the yellow emoji,
implication is that um if you use the yellow emoji you kind of kind of how like you know like six or seven years ago um everybody was like you had the you you know white people did these like struggle
sessions like i'm racist i'm still racist oh my god like they like kind of had this idea that you have this sort of core,
cerebral cortex within you that is really racist
and that you have to sort of excise like an organ.
You have to kind of cut it out of you with a scalpel or whatever.
I think what they're saying is that...
The lobotomy.
Yeah, you lobotomize the racist part of your brain.
It's like self-flagellation, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
lobotomize the racist part of your brain it's like self-flagellation yeah yeah yeah i think what they're saying is that like this is kind of an uh an extension of that or a function of that
like when you use the yellow emoji what you're saying is that you endorse the idea that whiteness
is the neutral uh you know what i'm saying and yeah it's like it's one of those things where it's like it sounds
kind of profound and like like i mean it's it's right like in the sense of like
white supremacy does kind of rest on the assumption that like white is the neutral
you know default it's a default and whenever and everything but again it's like these are just
they're just like modern hieroglyphics they're
just ways you know what i mean like it's i mean you can't look that deep into like well i mean
like it just seems like it just seems like and not an excuse like a conscious effort but like
i mean you could talk about like white supremacy and like anti-blackness and systemic racism like
through a host of
different ways you know health care or just like the incarceration system i mean just all these
different socioeconomic factors but to choose something like that's literally aesthetic
where it's just like these symbols and signifiers of a certain mood or emotion and to pack so much
into that to like dissect it like it's just like you know like people would be
like yeah america needs to have a conversation about race a real conversation but i don't even
know what that means but if it means anything that shit can't happen because motherfuckers
are writing articles like this you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah yeah the news were down bad. The news is down bad. It really is, Tommy.
It really is.
It's so down.
Well, what it is is they finally got the perfect situation
because this finally allows them to police interactions
and conversations at the micro level.
Because we finally got to that point where like
you know all ever at least these people anyways all of their conversations take place over this
thing like they don't have real friends in the real world like it all takes place over this and
so they think that's like the metric for both determining a person's like racism as if it is a kind of numerical value,
but also how you solve it and treat it.
And so it's like, for them, it's the perfect situation.
It's just like, no, now we can intervene in people's lives
at the sort of micro level.
And I feel bad for people that work in nonprofits
because this will be the thing that they have to start doing.
I mean, like nobody out in
the real world is gonna like take any of that seriously no nobody's gonna nobody real world
is reading that shit it's just like they atomize it and take it away from all like material context
so it's just all about individual behavior and interpersonal reactions instead of like
changing anything systemic like yes oh if we all used emojis that reflected our racial identity in the fucking crayon box of race you know what i'm saying like
racial colors that's kind of that i mean like by that logic like that's why that that white dude
in this story is not totally off because if that is true like then it could all just be solved by
more white people using more black emojis like if
you know what i'm saying you know what's hilarious about this it's it's it's the same ngo grunts that
like do all these like tokenizing measures you know to like black folks and you know different
folks of color that like will contort themselves into such a weird position with shit
like this and not realizing it contradicts everything that you like are preaching about
like inclusivity and all the other like ngoe buzzwords you know what i mean the highest
ranking officials in this country showed up in kente cloth. What are you supposed to... Oh, my God. Yo, every time...
That was so dope.
What do you think's happening?
What's going on here?
That's where we're at.
Something happened psychically
when Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer
took a knee in the Kintai cloths.
It unleashed a force that we just...
We don't know what we're dealing with, really.
Like some sort of like sea dragon or something
is doing something.
It's like some butterfly effect
shit, like that's gonna change the course of history.
It's like a turning point, man.
Yeah, like the Adjustment Bureau.
God damn.
Shit, man. that's pretty crazy um well uh so you know also yeah anyways that's
npr i love i fucking love what npr has become it's it rules it's like you're gonna get stories
like that sandwiched in between like how in between
stories of how much rate fidel castro was like a racist and a homophobe you know what i mean it's
like like npr fucking rules it is the most brain warped shit imaginable it's like it's like uh
they'll beat the war drums for american Empire and then the next story they'll talk
about how if you like
horsey sauce from Arby's
that signals something troubling about
your racial biases and stuff like that.
Like some Malcolm Gladwell
shit.
Yeah.
Oh man.
Oh god damn.
God damn. God damn.
Well, I'm glad we did that.
I was kind of a little, I was bummed.
I was feeling more,
I was feeling more like I wanted to do blue suburban moms.
But we can talk about that on the Patreon
because I've got some anecdotal evidence
to go along with that one
that I can't put on the main feed.
So we can, we'll hit that on the Patreon.
It seems like a good one.
Red, wine, and blue.
That doesn't even sound real.
That sounds like a bit, man.
It doesn't sound like a real thing.
Just 300 suburban moms just like fucking storming the goddamn state capitals like the Visigoths.
They're coming.
It's red, white, and blue because they're white.
Wine.
No, red wine, right?
Red wine.
So they reclaimed the wine mom thing.
Oh, God.
It's red wine and blue.
I'd imagine that we thought we'd saw the last of Pantsuit Nation But we were mistaken
Oh no we have not
No
Never
The girl boss machine ain't that loving up man
Ain't never letting up
No never
Well that probably about does it

Don't they say people from Ohio or people who broke down trying to get to Detroit or something?
What's the joke?
That sounds about right.
Hillbillies that broke down trying to get to Detroit Rock City.
I support Ohio House.
Tight as hell.
There, I said it.
It took me a long time to come around to it,
but I support Ohio.

Move to his gate of community.
Oh, hell yeah.
Ohio fucking rules.
They got all those mounds.
Hell yeah.

Yeah, I'm trying to take back the mounds.
Not me personally.
I'm just an ally to the indigenous people

to the indigenous people.
Why stop there?

yo, what are people doing in places like Cincinnati or Ohio as a state in general?
I thought you were going to drop a bomb on us and say you're born in Cincinnati.
Just letting y'all know I was born in Cincinnati.
Like, you know, being from New York, it feels like the center of the world, man.
But, yeah, Tom, I bet you're right.
Cincinnati's got some dope shit.
What's going to happen in that town if the Bengals win this Super Bowl?
What's going to happen?
What's going to come of Cincinnati?
Oh, my God.
It's going to be on fire.
Good times.
They will set a blaze.
Probably win or lose, I'll say.
I hope they win.
Whatever happens.
I'll be rooting for them.
That's for sure.
You're rooting for them? Yeah. Wait, who are they playing? I don't. I hope they win. Whatever happens. I'll be rooting for them. That's for sure. You'll be rooting for them.
Yeah.
Wait, who are they playing?
I don't even know who they're playing against.
Anytime Terrence is out in support of sports ball, you know it's a big deal.
Big time.
There's greater implications for this game than meets the eye.
Sociopolitical ramifications.
Tom, can we get the breakdown on the Patreon?
Let's have a Super Bowl episode.
Yeah, I'll give you
Patreon this weekend. It's just a
tout service where I give you my picks for
gambling this weekend.
And the bigger implications.
It is
We've got like a coastal
elite team
versus a true heartland Rust Belt team.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly.
This is a referendum on America.
Is this about to launch another civil war?
I hope so.
I hope this is what does.
Midwest versus the left coast.
I guarantee you J.D. Vance has already said that, though.
Like, coastal elite team versus a heartland.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, like try to draw political implications, social political implications.
Oh, you know he is.
You know he is.
Numbers are in the toilet.
He's doing the tried and true classic.
Yeah, you already hired out Marjorie Tyler.
God damn, I forgot about my girl, man.
She's not on Twitter no more. I feel
it a little bit. TG, baby.
Forgot about my girl.
I forgot about my girl, man. I used to follow her, man.
She's amazing. She ain't as good as Trump,
but she got some beggars that would knock her off.
Definitely.
Quick and
tough.
Alright, gang.
Go to the Patreon.
Support us so that Tom isn't stricken down by a bolt of lightning.
If you are, make sure your feet are on the ground.
Because I always heard that if not,
the lightning exits the part of your body that's closest to the ground.
So if for whatever reason you're like hovering naked
and your dick is hanging down, it could go
at your dick.
Fuck.
God's not gonna strike
me down. Hell, he would've done it
a long time ago if he was gonna do it.
But just give us money.
It could keep the mic
cord from somehow
snatching around his neck.
Wait, did that happen?
Yeah.
It's not God killing me you gotta worry about.
It's myself.
See, I want equipment.
God damn.
I'm gonna toss all this shit in the hot tub with me.
I can't take no more.
I'm literally about to go out here and simmer and chain smoke
and scream about FEMA into the void.
I'm broke.
Your neighbors would probably come over,
but they would probably think you're talking about FEMA camps,
and then you'd have a weird, awkward conversation.
They've heard worse up here. i can't say for sure but
i think that girl up on the hills had a stroke
all right well we'll see you next time uh bye
