Take Yo' Broke A$$ to Outer Space (with Bashir Salahuddin)

die or they're gonna become real powerful. We'll find out down the next episode of Earth. They wanna be wanna be superheroes? Yay, I want to be a superhero. Ships us, racist money stuff. You can't tell me. There it is there.

It is. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me, the podcast where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of black expiracy theories and we finally work to prove that t I is running the only sex could in the world that effectively incorporates the the Storks. He may be stilling those girls innocence, but he's also giving them a big, beautiful word to describe what was stolen from them. Just give us some man and then use culpability in the sentence. That's t I

s k at all times. He's a wild boy. But I don't know who who could hate the man? Huh. I'm your host like Stinkerman as always. I'm coming in hot baby. We got a great episode. I'm very excited our guest today. Uh. He's phenomenal, He's hilarious. He cracks me up. You know him as one of the creators and stars of Southside Me. That's one of the creators and stars of Sherman Showcase. You know him from so many great movies. This mother fucker's about to be in

Top Gun. You ain't in top Gun, you stupid bitch. You love him? You you know, give it up for Basher solo d everybody, How are you there? I'm good man. That was a great intro very. Uh you know you just you come out of shooting. Yeah yeah, burn it all down, we'll start over. I love it. Here's the problem. I don't get to socialize anymore. I just get to put all my thoughts out in like a thirty second preamble and then I gotta you know, this is all that I've been sitting on. Well, you know what, this

is great. I'm happy to be here. Thanks for having me. Uh you know, I'm looking forward to it. I I'm really excited you're here because you came with a conspiracy theory that I've heard angles on before. I've heard I've heard vers of this before, but never the angle that you chose. Yours was an extremely unique take on a I would say a slightly uh trite conspiracy theory. At this point, you said, my mama told me billionaires are investing in space exploration so they can kick four people

off the Earth. Yes, that's correct. That is a conspiracy theory that I fully believe. You know you asked me to think about because I was like, okay, I gotta think of something funny. And then I was like, oh, you know, it's so hard to be funny when you try, and it's terrible. It never works. And then I was like, well, let me think about a real, actual conspiracy that I really believe, and that's one of them. You know, I

just think that. You know, look, I don't know if I can jump into it now or let's know, worry I don't think let me tell you this outside of you know, and I don't want to turn this into like a sociology class or a geography class or a

geology class. Yeah, some f together. Brother, As I look at the dead spider on my floor, I should sweep in this this room, by the way, this is really you have a look around and go, I have not swept this room and under the couch is I think that's a damn cheerio because my child, oh my podcast room is a mess anyway. But no, I look, if you if you look at the Earth, outside of places that have been affected by extreme poverty or places that are very tough to live in, that people just like

roughing it. I mean, by and large, especially with the technology we have available now, most of the places on this planet are very livable and actually are very nice when you you know, you think about it. The great climates, Um, that's why everybody lives there. In some ways, Earth is a paradise and there is a lot of people on this planet. And so when I see all this energy in this this like thrust towards Oh yeah, we're gonna like be or in space and then we gotta get

we gotta get Mars colonized. We gotta get the Moon colonized. When I see all that stuff, I'm always like, you know, I know people are watching that being like, damn man, rich people are going to space, and I want to be like, no, nigga, you're going to space, all right. I'm not trade I'm not trading the Bahamas for why would a rich person choose to live on Mars, which is essentially like living in on a planet. The entire planet is a coal mine, right, It's just it's all

coal minor conditions. That means, it's all red lung. That means. So you're telling me that rich people are about to give up Tkirks and Caicos, and they're gonna give up the Bahamas, and they're gonna give up the South of France, and they're gonna give up Jamaica, and they're gonna give up Montana, and they're gonna give up all these wonderful, beautiful places to go tougher than space. No, no, no, they're not going anywhere. My sense is there's a reason

that's to threats. I think space tourisms is coming, but I think it's a secondary thing that there's gonna be this huge drive to go. You know, it's actually kind of what happened with America right there was like, go be a pioneer, Go explore that west. Go out there and fight them, fight those engines, you know, when nobody in Manhattan trying to go west. But it was like all the four people they were like, they were like, you could have all the land. You want to be

your own boss? And then people was like yeah, and then they went out to the frontier and they figured that ship out. Well, you're saying, you're saying a few things that I really loved this because because I think that's a hundred percent true. I was I can't remember who I was talking to about this the other day, but I think it was something like seventy percent of the pilgrims that might crossed the ocean the first time died in the trip. So they let these motherfucker's go

figure it out. And then once they knew it was a livable, easy trip, then everybody else started to come slowly but sure, and I think there might be a time, but you know, there's actually And I really it hurts me to say this because I always feel I try to be original But there's a TV show called The Expanse, which I'm a big fan of, and they actually, to some degree a little bit the show is kind of

based a little bit on this theory. So Earth has mad issues, but as you go away from Earth, you get rougher and rougher and rougher until you get to this thing called the Belt, which is like the asteroid belt in the Solar System. And that's like the most grimy, fucking looks like Russia e place you would ever have on this show, that's what everybody's like, filthy and dirty and they haven't showered in like six months. At look at this guy over here, he's got water like. It's

those kind of people. But I was just like, you know, overpopulation is legit. That's why again, that's why we're talking about. Why is it that we're talking about? You know, why is that Andrew Yang and other futurists are talking about you know what did they call it? Uh? Universal income? Why? Because as society creates more robots, Like, at some point people are gonna go, why does any human being work in McDonald's. There's not a human being does not need

to work in McDonald's. A human being does not need to work at Sam's Club. A human being does not need to work at Taco bell A human being does not need to build a car a human being. A human being does not really need to work at the Amazon to Film It Center. Robots can do all that ship And so ultimately, guys like Yang and they're like, well, it's gonna be a lot of motherfucker's out of work, so why don't we try and raise the floor so that everybody has some money, you know, some money to

play with. And I think as part of that idea is that ultimately, between robots and innovation, there's just gonna be a lot of not shipped to do here on Earth. And then I think that ship to do is gonna be will take your ass to the moon and mind some silicates, you know. And it's like it's almost like everybody's gonna become like the Central Americans, who's like, go to Americans, send the money back home. Hey brother, ay brother,

you can go to Mars. May your mama have a house? Well, let me ask you this because I love this, and it's it's I think you're making a valid point that nobody is really going to give up the stuff that they're already used to people realize that this planet is amazing. Actually, so why and this is what I'm i I think I'm struggling within it is why not just kill these

poor people? Why not? I meant distinction of the point, but I mean, if you look at the human history, that's happened so many times they've been there are you know, there were things And I got this from a book that could be wrong, but you know, I got it from a book about it was. It was a historical

fiction called Aztecs. But in some of the Central American societies, they used to have what they called the flower Wars and Flowery Wars, and they would just have war because they hadn't had war for a long time and there was a general restlessness among the population. That's something where at least people can sort of contribute and be a part of their own destruction. But if you look at human history, there have been tons of times when people just got as we know, even in recent history World

War two just rounded up and murdered. Ultimately, what you suggest, it's just really bad pr and nobody wants to be There's a lot of paperwork, like we're just gonna kill everybody on sixty third and Cottage growth. Right, it's messy. You can do it, but you're gonna get some pushback from the powers that be. I'm gonna tell you how sinister it is. But they also don't want to accidentally kill you know, like the next step on Marbury, the

next to read the frame. You don't want to kill them because those people are providing entertainment value and they come from what will we do without without shoes? Shoes exactly? You know, you know, so they know, we know for a fact the hood produces incredible entertainers, and so we don't want to do it just start killing everybody, and then, you know, we might miss out on who knows, like the next brother to make famous Amos cookies or something, right,

you know, So you gotta let people come up. But then once they get to a certain level, you have to find a way to offload them out of the way so that you can enjoy. You know. It's it's interesting if you ever in Los Angeles. One of my favorite favorite times to be in l A. And this is true, it's during the holidays. People who don't live in Los Angeles, the city is full of transplants. So typically between the after Thanksgiving until the New Year, l

a is it's sort of empty. Obviously, it's the best city in the world. For like two weeks. It's so nice. I can't get enough of it. The streets are empty, everyone's at peace. Oh, it's the best. If you ever want to people in l if you ever want to have fun during that period, go downtown and just drive on Sixth Street West and just take six It's gonna be this beautiful curvy, no traffic, drive all the way to the water almost. And but that's what rich people

want earth to be like all the time. They don't want no they don't want no tent cities. You can't even enjoy the money you make because when you get off the freeway, as a bunch of broke motherfucker's under the bridge, like they don't like that ship is sucking up my view of the ocean. Move this ship, come on, man. That's the conspiracy theory, is that people they want to offload the people who aren't necessary and who are in the way of this paradise. Let's backtrack a little bit,

because I love this. Where do you think you first came to believe this. I know you said you sort of saw it on the show and all that, but where does it come to be true to you? I am a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy and have been, perhaps being from South side of Chicago, I was always like, oh, man, the stars have to be better than this. Maybe who knows what was Come on, George Lucas, come on, Jane Roddenberry, come get me. It's Vice Lords over. I gotta get out of here. I'm

so scared. Um. But no, who knows where my love of But also I was very you know, I was very bookish. I don't know if that's using that right, but I like books and I read everything growing up. I just I love science fiction. I love fantasy. I wish I could make a show around and I'm still trying, my damn just trying to do something in that area. I think my sense that people are going to explore

spaces just comes from my love of that. But then as I began to think about it, and as I began to think about the actual odds of finding a planet that is as dope as Earth, and those odds are are increasing as they do more explanation exploration, but they're still pretty high. They're still pretty hard. They found a couple, but they're so far away, some called class

implanets or whatever, and they can support life. But I mean again, who has like who has like Manhattan figured out like what planet can you go to and be like, oh my god. We had an incredible three star michel and dinner and then we went down to the comedy seller. It's also you know some great comics like Earth has that the Moon is not going to have that for a very long time. Yeah, that's the that's the part that I think you're really nailing is like, h I

listen as somebody who who has done some traveling. I'm not like a world traveler all the time, but I've been to a few places. I'm inconvenience when I go to Mexico and they ain't got the toothpaste, like you know what I mean, man fu Mexico. I'm never coming back to this country for minor inconveniences. There's no way people are going to the Moon and just settling for

moon paste. Rich people are going to go on space tours where they're going to go go, oh that was incredible, and then they're coming right back to the yacht, you know, in Miconos, because why would they be in space when they could be in Miconos, Like, come on, it's not even close. That's all in space. You might die at any second because that ship's all getting figured out. So at some point a pipe might blow up and this

whole living unit over here is just wiped out. But you know they want to tap in vacuums in the South of None. You can't even do I put it this way, I wasn't. I had the great pleasure of being in Italy recently and my phone died and I called I had to get a damn burner phone and get a damn call an app. And I called a T and T and I was like, hey, man, I've been a customer for a long time. You know when you call a T and T you gotta act like

you a crack fan banging for it. I've been with y'all that she was called singular wireless baby, not come on, you're the love of my life at DNT. Why would you do this show me doing? And so I called a T N T and they were like, uh, we're not sending you a new phone to Italy. So just imagine if you was on the Moon, right, or if you're on Mars and you're like, hey, uh sprint PCs, Hey, y'all, you know that's what it is. So I look, I

think this planet is. Look, I think this and and and underneath to be to be sort of a little

more somber underneath. Everything I'm saying is my personal belief that you know, and I'm a big fan of David Attenboro, and I think he's right that, like this planet is amazing and it's incredible, and I think that we we really do act like we have five of these motherfucker's like in storage somewhere because it's really and I'm not a big, big, like environmentally like precy person, but it did break my heart with my wife and I were in Belize and we were on the beach and there

was just garbage everywhere. Now that's just trash everywhere. So I do think that unfortunately, by dental corporations, by dental fucked up laws, by dent of a lot of different things. You know, a lot of people just treat this planet like it's like, you know, it's like sucked up and it's nasty and they can just throw it in the ocean and spill ship in the ocean and kill all kinds of spin like there's no repercussions to all that, and my senses at this place is pretty bad ass

and we should take better care of it. I similarly, uh, I am a big David Adamborough fan, and watch all of those planet hearths and Blue Ocean, all the shows that they that he has. He's fantastic and it What's what's jarring in all of it and upsetting and all of it is that literally every single one is mostly him being like, this part of the planet is sucked up and y'all did this. But yeah, look at his bird.

He got some cool wings on. You ain't gonna see him no more because you're about to kill him with your your pollution and your evil and ship. I hope you, I hope you liked this forest because you ain't seeing this ship again. You know, y'all suck this all up. And there was one especially had that was showing like the beautiful blue ocean, and he was like, but the ain't like that no more. Now it's still of jellyfish came and came nobody eat jellyfish and sucking they're fucking terrible,

And he showed a bunch of jellyfish. He was like, and the fishes are gonna die, and like you just said, y'all did this ship. But I mean, somebody's trying to tell us the truth. But you know, it's it's also funny to me, and I don't want to do too tangent.

But as a black person is really hard because when I think about what my responsibility is to contribute and give back to this planet and to get back to this country, environmentalism is can't be number one, right, So the South side of Chicago and and sort of like doing things that I can do to help create better environments there, that's got to be number one, right as a black person. But part of my brain is still like, but damn man, the planet is just like we just

don't treat this place. We don't treat it like a place we want to have around for a very long No. I was listening to this podcast the other day that was sort of like exploring these um these people who basically have like dedicated their lives becoming environmentalists that they like the type of people who chained themselves to giant trees and like tell the bulldozer, I won't move, and

like they have the big standoff. But they were basically saying in the podcast that like, listen, all these people are white, and all of them have enough money that they could retire and focus entirely on this ship, whereas poor people, Yeah, I don't give a funk. Man, I can't. I don't have the room to give a fun because you won't take your knee off my throat, you know

what I mean. And it's and it's sort of double edged because ironically, when I'm in the hood, when I'm on not all the south there's some beautiful parts to the South Side of Chicago, but when I'm in some of the other parts, I'm like, it's interesting that these are the places that are actually hurt the most. Yeah, you know, it's crazy. I'm from the South Side. Did you know that. I don't know if they still have

this school. When I was growing up, and I grew up, I was born in seventy six, so you know, I was kind of like a kid like the mid eighties, and there was a part of my neighborhood on like around seventy I'm gonna say, like seventies six, and Ben

sin's work around there where there was actually ponds. Yeah, I'll never get My brother and I literally used to go walking and then we'd go to this little lagoony pond thing on this house and fit and they were fish in the pond, and you can I mean, it's hard to people believe that we actually would go fishing like on the south Side. You know, it was crazy and I suspected all that's gone. You know, I don't

know where you all eating the fish afterwards. You know, I was so surprised if my brother caught that ship with a pencil. I was very you did that ship? I said, This industrious negro is incredible. He's a kind of piece of string around a pencil and caught a fish. I don't remember if you ate it though, honestly, but I don't want to believe. No, I can't believe. Listen, Chicago is a lot of beautiful things. I don't think that the fish that you catch naturally nearby is is

meant for human consumptions. Are the finest fish on a dirty grandons. It's where he's come from. Eas from Alaska and these are from Inglewood Inglewood Fish Company, are from a neighborhood that even humans don't like living in delicious fish. It's incredible. Yeah, I mean it's all it's we get hurt the most by this stuff. But again, as we both said, it's kind of like weird to be promoting it when it's like we got more pressing things. But

it's kind of all connected with that. Here's the question that I have is what do you think people can or should be doing about this? Is there something we can do about this? Is just's just the way it is. Again, if you were to go in eighteen eleven and there were a bunch of people on the East coast who are about to go west and get land, because that's again I think that's a good analogy for it. There's nothing you could have done to tell people that they want.

I mean there literally might be like, look, if you go to the moon, you will own Remember the forty acres in the mule. Now, if you go to the moon, we will give you forty acres. Legit. Now you gotta bring your all mual. You gotta bring you all mule, and you're gonna need a space suit for the meal. But there you might need some oxygen. But but I do think that, Yeah, I think that. Like, it's be hard,

especially in a place that does feel overcrowded. It's gonna be hard not to tell people to like to go find their fortune and go again. It's some of this suppose in that TV show I talked about, but it's gonna be hard to tell people not to go and create their own their own ownership. I mean, you're gonna go own stuff in a in a almost and it's part of the ruge, right, It's part of the trick.

But it also is the mastery of the trick is like we we've explored all the stuff that we know how to explore here and so them being like, hey, you don't know what's up there. You should check that ship out because that mighty y'all like Arizona, y'all gonna love uh months fucking whatever it's called on the marks. Oh you Nia is like Phoenix, You got to get

up like dirt. I'm gonna tell. But here's the one thing we definitely know for the fact is that all the basketball teams on Mars is gonna be Dope's gonna be very last one. It's gonna be amazing, you know. But they're not gonna play a lot with Earth because it's a long trip, and that's probably how they're gonna

sell it into a bunch of young black is. Like I mean, if you really try to who if you really what if like exactly you want to be, You're gonna You're gonna, man, come on, you gonna page the world. I feel like also we might be surprised, like the Moon might end up putting out a whole new brand of hip hop, like all the things that come to the the hood gonna be amplified. Yeah, people like, oh, y'all, Like, man, y'all, you ain't heard ship, but that lunar music. Many everything

about the Moon is hard on Earth. Everything about the Moon is hard on Earth. And you you're gonna be able to argue because people like, right, yeah, yeah, I'm stuck your arms. I don't know. I'm here, y'all grinding, y'all up there doing it. Hunh. We're gonna check a break. We'll be back with more years, Solow Dean and more. My mama told me, and we are back. We're not gonna at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris cut America's meet. That's that on that, that's that on that. Yeah, we're

back here, we're mode more. My mama told me. We're still talking about the possibility that poor people are gonna get kicked off of the Earth and may to to live on Mars or Movie or other planets. We don't know yet. Do you have any sense of of who's going first, like what flavor of poor are they think? Then the poor people won't be the first first. It will be explorers and like engineers and scientists. But they're

just there to get the infrastructure. You know, somebody had to build the projects before people moved into the Yes, okay, so they're gonna go build. But then after that once they especially because they're gonna do something called the space bridge. For those of you who've watched the movie at Astra that was featured the beginning is seeing the documentary at Astro, sure that around the old African American water cooler at

the workplace, there's much discussion of bad Astra. But I would say that there's a thing called the space bridge that basically makes it easier to leave Earth's atmosphere because you just essentially on an elevator um. And so I do think that once that technology is up and once there's a cost effective way to get motherfucker's off the planet without spending too much money. I think that's start to see. But at first it'll be like, you know, it'll be sold. It's like, oh my god, fantastic space

explorers and look at this guy, Joe Blow. Uh, this guy is amazing you. It's it's the what those motherfucker's that were with Staca Jawiah, the yeah, yeah, yeah, you know I'm talking about you want. They're gonna have to sell it as like these adventurers who faced the world so that you can feel safe, And they're gonna make a movie like what's that movie? Uh with the girls really fifteen in real life and in the movie she's

supposed to be a teen a little bit older. Win was the song It's a Disney movie, hilarious Colors of the Wind. They're gonna make movies about like the like the beautiful, like oh, he's strong, pioneers with the space and he's a heroes, you know, and and like you know, like what happened to them all? Oh they all died, every last one to a person, I mean, they just all died. Nobody came back. So in the research that I was unpacking and I'm so glad this is this

is where you're heading. I started to think about what it means for this space exploration to exist right like, and apparently it's existed since two thousand four, that we've already been doing some version of space tourism. Since two thousand four. Most of it has been like, oh yeah, there was like one billionaire or something who went right, yeah, already,

Like one dude went already or something. He's an astronaut, and he went with like this other guy and they went up to what they basically described as like that that breaking point of where it stops being air and starts beings ace. But that was all the way back

in two thousand four. Now there are six different companies that all are planning their version of space tourism that all ranges from space x, which is basically saying it's gonna cost you fifty five million for a round trip to go to the International Space Station, all the way down to Jeff Bezos company Blue Origin, which basically is offering a passenger trip to suborbital space for two hundred grand each. Again, when we were very we lived on the South Side. I don't know, if y'all know that

I've mentioned it, where are you from? Just tell us, well, now where did you? Would ask that number one go bull? But I would say the reason I bring it up and to say, but my dad his credit was a techno file, so we had an ATARI when it first came out. We had a v A VCR when it first came out. And the reason I bring it up because they were very expensive. So I say all that to say that, yeah, it's very expensive. Now that number you said, two D thousand, that's like gonna go down.

Everything goes down at some point. It's gonna be like, hey man, look, let me buy your shoes and you can have it right, just let me hold something space and not yeah, I want to go to space. And by the way, because I'm gonna tell you what you know how like I didn't even know this man that Chappelle made a joke about it, but I didn't even know this when I visited the Bay Area for the first time. It only costs you money to go from somebody's don correct me, prob, but I think it only

costs money to go from Oakland to San Francisco. To go from San Francisco to Oakland is free. Yeah, but if you want to come back, it's gonna cost you. I think it'll be like, Okay, if you want to go up to space, there's nothing. But if you're like, hey, man, I want to get back to Earth, they were like, oh, we don't know no more. But what but like talk to what's what's wrong with space? Man? Mean something something happened or you know, no this survey, Well, we'll write

down your concerns. We'll get to you have to call a call center, well they barely speak your language, and then try to get a refund and be like okay, well well we'll still we can do start. Just can you go to the website. Though I don't have WI file, I'm on the moon, ain't WiFi. That's actually why I'm calling the WiFi. That's why i'm right now. But yeah, look, everything's gonna go down. You bring up an excellent point about the price changes, and it got me thinking about

the way that airplanes prices have changed over the years. Specifically, I wanted to look up how much it costs for the first commercial airline flight, which happened apparently in nineteen fourteen, and it costs that passenger four hundred dollars for a twenty three minute flight, and apparently that comes out to like dollars today, so exactly your point. This was insane at the time, and now for four hundred dollars you

can go across the country. Depending on how you fly and how early you buy the ticket, you can easily go to a lot of places. I mean, look when you and this is certainly don't want to like dip it too much into the politics, but I think human greed so ubiquitous. When you look at who are the refugees on this planet, and then when you look at who is staying in some of those countries, there are areas, there are areas where the poverty is so thick that

you don't have a choice but to stay. And then there are areas where there are tons and tons of people who have money who are fine staying in countries, and the people who don't have money are sort of like encouraged to go find their fortunes else and make room for the people who are like, I don't need to do that. And and it's really it's really sad because it certainly makes people feel like they don't really have a country and it makes them feel like outcast, etcetera.

So then you have to upsell, you know, the the adventurousness of oh man, you could be your own boss. You gotta make being a nomad sexy some Yeah. I do think human nature, in my observation, is that people who have a good thing try to hold onto it.

That I think that's fair and it it Actually I was thinking about other sort of instances in history or sort of like in our current everyday circumstances where what you're describing exists, and it got me into this thing called planned relocation, which I read in like this United Nations Development Program document that basically talks about the fact that it's a form of organized movement of people, typically instigated under like supervised uh sort of watch of the state,

right that ideally they're taking people from difficult circumstances and moving them and helping them re re establish their lives in quote unquote better circumstances. But one of the things that they say is most controversial about this planned relocation is that it can easily fall into internment camps or to your points, ending people in deserted areas where they in fact don't have any resources you just told them

they would. Yeah. I mean, I think under the bedrock of all this stuff is stability when you have and I think that's why you have so many rich people talking about universal basic income and talking about issues of poverty. I think it on its surface looks like altruism. But if you just peel the layer back, what you will find is that when you have extremes together, it creates instability.

And instability is not good for the markets, and instability is not good for the pockets of people who have money. They don't want instability because instability might take the money out of their pockets. So when you have are you when you're surrounded by lots and lots of people who don't have anything, and those people's hunger, their natural hunger, begins to infringe on your right to have a fancy walk through a fancy part, you start to think about

ways to alleviate the pressure right of that inequality. And so unfortunately, again, I'll put it to you this way, if you talk to most black people on the South Side or in Chicago, and you asked them what happened to the Robert Taylor Holmes, they will tell you, Oh, white folks wanted that lakefront proper. Yes, that's where all this kind of comes from. This that's how they get you. Yep, I totally agree. That's it. It's it's somebody wanted that

property and so it's a nice property. And so they're like, I don't know, people to Chicago, Like some of the nicest lakefront property in Chicago was affordable homes. It was projects, the Robert Taylor homes. And now last time I was there, I think they either all are mostly gone. Yeah. I mean like Connie Green is another example of like you just you had. Literally they made one of the most iconic television shows of all time based off this time.

And then they were like, we're gonna take them and turn them into nice, big high rises for wealthy white people. And they did, and then they moved all of those people as far south as they are, out of the direction that they previously lived, so that they basically we had to figure out a new life and told them

this was better somehow. I don't even know if this is true or not, so I want to say this, this might be a lie, Internet people, But I went to this high school in Chicago that I fucking love called Whitney Young High School, and when I was there, I think it was like sixty black. Yeah, it is

my observation that that number has gone down. And I have been told that a lot of the people who lived around the school, particularly rich people and some white people, were like, wait a second, why aren't we spending forty dollars a year to send our kids to a private school when there's an incredible magnet school that's free and since we live around here, we could just go there. And then they kind of sort of, you know, our spaces there have to be to some degree like guaranteed,

because I mean, this is our neighborhood school. So I don't know if that's true or not, but it does. It does seem to explain, if it's true, why the numbers of diverse students has gone down. But I think even even on a logical level, and I don't know how true or not true that is, but it's it's we can just say, yeah, we can just make up who the funks? Uh Jfkine dead then getting right now?

But that's fans are like, how fucking did president? But no, I think we've seen in history policy changes that enable wealthy people to make different choices or protectorate choices, much in the way of, like, if I end up in a neighborhood where there finally is a good school, I do want to send my kid there, and I don't give a funk if I displace a bunch of browning black kids in the process. Yeah, exactly, you know, and that tends to be again, you look at human nature.

You look at even the fact that like and and during the hartm Renaissance, like the rich people would come up to Harlem and they would watch Louis Armstrong and they would watch Pole There's there's Paul Robos and he's going to do a speech. And then afterwards Paul was like, come back to your house. And they were like, oh, Paul, Paul, come on, you're funny. Um. But anyway, this has been fun. Um, we're gonna go jazz, Jimmy Jazz and all that. Jimmy

Jazz answered, Oh, that's in the dance move. I will be right back, guys. There does seem to be the sense of people with money want to live really well and they want to be entertained, and what they don't need is constant daily reminders of the motherfucker's who didn't make it? You know, yeah, and I do. Actually it's annoying,

it's like why it is, It's like yeah. So so one of the things that I started to think about in relation to all of that, and you brought this up earlier, was the question of overpopulation, right because to your point, if the world is overpopulated, you are inevitably going to be bumping into a bunch of poor people who make you feel yucky about the fact that like their life isn't as good as your life could be, or words will get mad about their lot and Trump

at your front door with six hundred thousand, and you've got a bigger problem right then. Now they're creating either way, they're creating something ablem yeah, a problem for you that

you don't want. And one of the articles that I read argued that it it's less a concern of overpopulation and more an issue of over consumption that's affecting climate change, that like climate change is actually even if we kicked a bunch of poor people off of the earth or kill them off or whatever, it is that the wealthy are consuming so much of the Earth's natural resources that we would continue to consume at that level and still

exceed the amount that is needed for survival. But I think this still doesn't hurt your point because it just kind of proves that they might just be short sighted as fun about the way that they're approaching this. They're like, well, if we get rid of these broke motherfucker's, we can live happy. And then they're forgetting that, like, oh, that means you'll have to clean your own toilet and you'll have to still grow on. How dude, robot robots, you

do not have to clean your own toilet. You honestly almost like they might even have a robot where you take your little toddler and you just tie them to the robots for three hours and and the robots late me times for a nap and then that's it, and that's what happened. So no, I think robots are really gonna be And I saw a video of a robot doing the damn dances the other day and I was like, well, if they can dance, why do you need us, what

are we gonna do? So No, I just feel like this, I mean, come on, and he moan walk that's not fair. Of course, now he's doing the robot of course. So but like, no, like the robots again, they're gonna do all those all those alleged important dude, I like, I love Postmates because the human being really need to bring

me a soundich. I would say this in the next five years, when I order a sandwich, I'm gonna hear some buzzing and a fucking drone is gonna drop a goddamn ham and cheese sandwich on my backyard and then I'm gonna eat it and be like thanks, you know. And you're saying thanks to no, but I'm saying thanks to the universe, and I'm saying I'm saying thanks to Jeff Bezos in the Origin because they they're going to

be doing that, you know. But we live in a world where you you have stuff is gonna you're not gonna need people to do this stuff. And I think the upside of this is right, Okay, So let's let's do something positive. Here's the positive this. Let's let's hit

the positives. Let's hit the positive. If the right types of ideas flourish in our society, the fact that human beings have to do less work could be wonderful, so that a person who's born could actually spend their time devoted to something which is good for them and potentially might contribute to society, versus doing a job a robot could do it. So, for example, if you're somebody who actually is a great guitarist, society will be able to say, well,

we don't need you to work in McDonald's. Let's go play your guitar all day. Go play your guitar, and you might write a hit song that makes people happy and then you can make you know, extra money. But what's happening now is that because of the way society is structured, there's all these like, you know, everybody crows about these employment numbers, and I think the Onion has some funny articles about it, but like, these jobs are not great is not great jobs, These are not jobs

you want to retire on. These are not like there are people who work for uber uber x, Postmates lift, Like that's not really a career. And also, you know, it's not you're competing with every you know, Unfortunately, every like PhD having immigrant who came here and came racist, even though the motherfucker got like five degrees and ship and smarter than everybody, but he's driving uber, you're competing, so all those people are doing and that person is

also trying to get a job in McDonald. So the idea is that if if the right type of ideas flourished, and if goodness can prevail, we could look up and say the good news is that people don't have to do shitty jobs anymore. And they don't and they and they don't have to do shitty jobs to live and

have health care and have a good education. I love, I love the idea that we would be to truly just pursue the things that mean the most to us emotionally, spiritually, whatever, which scares me even in that and this is just my cynicism kicking in at all times, but like it's it scares me because it's like, yeah, but then who decides who's good enough to get to pursue their own job versus like it's forced to do a new version of the only thing humans can do, you know what

I mean, Like like they'll start distinguishing people based on like all right, you're gonna be a band leader, but you're gonna be you on the you on the base, bitch. You know, you get to stand in the back. You're never going to be a star, so we decide that I'm never gonna make it. Don't look well, it probably ended a dystopian nuclear war yet, But we can dream, brother, we can dream. It might be it might end good, But it's not trending that way right now. It is

trending towards catastrop yes. And one of the things, one of the things that that I read in in that same article is talked about the fact that even our population right now is shrinking. That like, despite the fact that we're constantly being told the world is overpopulated, which it is that by twenty one hundred, the year there will be one point five billion less people on the planet and there were in the year two thousands. What's

causing that? Uh that basically, uh, it's a mix of like culture shifting, so we're we're not prioritizing sex and and sort of reproduction in the same way. But then I also think a fair amount of it has to do with climate change and it reducing fertility rates, that like, people are less fertile than they used to be because of like ship we're doing to the you know, the planet.

And I've also seen anecdotally that younger people are saying, why would I bring a child into a world where even I can't find a job and I can't afford a mortgage. Yeah, and I have, so it doesn't make sense to bring a kid so what he gonna starve to? Yeah? If you keep telling me that, like we're going to reach global destruction, by what am I bringing another human

into this for? Sense? Yeah? And I like I I been some time in Japan a few years ago, and one of my friends was explaining to me when we were out there that Japan's actually in the middle of like having to trick their population into being sexual again, that like they've become so sort of a sexual with each other that like literally the the government is begging people to be like, hey, get some pussy dog. Stop. You can't just work and study and and be yourself.

You gotta you gotta go out there and shake. Oh come on, that's crazy. I have fun engineer. Yeah, I get it. Man. Uh, you know, it's such an interesting thing. And like I always feel like so much of the things that Americans find odd about Japan, or so many things about Japan that people go like that's so unique? Is it can also be traced back to like our position towards them in the Second World War, you know, can can be traced back to that like ultimate level

of like mass destruction that event. You know. I read somewhere that like one of the reasons that the Godzilla movies were popular is because that was in some way an embodiment of a sort of like globally cataclysmic force, the way that the nuclear attack was or they're not going to do a nuclear bond. And by the way, Godzilla literally comes from but for those of you who are Godzilla heads, godhead, since Godzilla comes from new he

comes from nuclear testing in the Pacific. They're doing nuclear testing and then they fucked some ship up and then he's like, whoa here. So ultimately I do think that like that's really you know, I'm very curious about it. But I've also read that they have. But I've also read the part of the thing that hurts them a little bit is they just they don't want a bunch of like brown people coming over they're and doing jobs, you know, they want they want people who are actually

born Japanese. Two take those Japanese jobs when you have literally China and India are full of single dudes. We're like, hey, it will come through that ship, and they're like, now be good. And I think to your to sort of to your ultimate sort of can spiracy, right is that's the danger of what's being built, is that each of these countries are going to become more nationalistic, more sort of like they're gonna put up more walls and tell

less people that they can come in our country. Literally told like eight nations last year, y'all just ain't welcome because we don't funk with you. And that's a wild energy for us to be coming out with. But we won't be the only ones when resources start to get scarce, which means that ultimately all these refugees, all these people who you mentioned are wanderers. They gotta go somewhere and

we can't just shoot them because that's bad space. And you know what, and they're gonna build their own futures, and god damn it, it's gonna be real exciting to see. It's gonna be real exciting, you know, because I think that the Rish people want Earth to be kind of like Central Park on a Sunday afternoon. A lot of people really pretty. There's a couple of people bird watching if I if I want to put down a blanket in the park, I have downable banket in the park. Exactly.

You want to get off the off ramp and not see crazy shit, you know, you want to go sit in the park, like you said, and put a blanket down and just enjoy yourself. Yeah, it's quality of life for some people with money is very, very important, you know, it's it's my observation. I love it. All right, we're gonna say one more break, we'll be back with more. But shear and more, my mama told me. And we

are back. You have a field, you know, not so fresh. Yeah, we're back here with more year solo d more, my mama told me. We're still talking about the space tourism, the interplanetary travel, and the niggas who won't get to travel back. They're they're going out. I didn't mention this earlier, but NASA actually it's also creating a space program where they're basically allowing for people to tour for thirty five dollars a day, and that's much cheaper than than even

the other alternatives. And they're saying a day. But to your point, if it's a one way ticket, maybe we'll cut some off that price. And you know, we're gonna have low Earth orbit hotels, Like the International Space Station is in low orbit and it's able to maintain. So imagine that times and you're gonna go which space hotel are you going to? Oh? You know art, it's all blackly they just opened up House of Service. Bad. That's racist. It's just sandals Jamaica in space and sandals Jamaica. And

it's owned by the Chinese. Uh. That was surprising. When I went to Jamaica, they were like, oh the Chinese on that Chinese. That's another expirace for another day. But I was like, oh, they really owned all this stuffy. I'm not sure if that's a conspiracy theory or just it's actually not. As a fact, it's devastating news for a lot of people who thought that Africa was still

belonged to black people. It doesn't. Man. You go to you go to the Caribbean and you'll be on the beach with people who have no access to the beach. But they can come sales some ship for like an hour a day's wild. All right, let's play a game. I we have a fun game. Uh, it's a game that I love to play. It's a game called homemade Hotel. Alright, homemade Hotep. This is the way it works. I'm going to introduce to you a real life fact, a fact that exists out in the world, and what I would

love for you to do. But sheer is just hotep. The ship out of it. Just add as much theory and problematic views as any Hotep would to this theory. Whatever you need to do to get yourself all the way to the end of the whole thing. Does that make sense it? Hell? Yeah? Okay, So you're real fact that exists is that apparently the keyboard, the the Corty keyboard, uh that we all type on, was actually does mind

to make people type slower. That like, they found that the old version of the keyboard that I guess had letters in order, people were typing too fast and catching up with computers in a way that they didn't plan for, and so they changed the keyboard to slow people down. When we I mean, wow, that's um. First off, that's entirely real. Um. I think you know Einstein said E equals MC squared and what he was saying in that equation, I mean, we all know this is that matter and

energy are essentially two versions of the same thing. When you type too fast, brother, you create a vibrational harmonic with the natural energies and resources of the earth, which could allow your third eye to open and for you to see. Because I think a lot of people think that time moves in the straight line, but in fact, as we learned in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's book, Time moves

in the circle. Things happen over and over again, and so people third eye if they speed up too much, because then all of a sudden action and thought become energy and become one. It speeds up too much, and people have then were able to be able to see the natural curvature and rotation and gravitation of the universe and of the Earth. They will be able to see time,

they will be able to see the future. Right. So what happened was a lot of people were typing in the old version of the keyboard, and they were typing so fast they were see envisions. They were like, oh my god, we gotta stop, Hitler. And they were like they were like, no, no, we gotta we gotta stop that. Because you know, because the powers that be, Trilateral Commission

and the rothschild. They need. They needed Hitler to come along because he was very instrumental, and there are other plans that they had, brother now follow along with this can So in order to slow down the ability of matter and thought to convert into one and for you to see time all the way through, they had to slow down the keyboard. And so now what they've done is they brainwashed you. If you open your eyes, you

see it. They brain watched you in the believing that you can only type so fast because you've always heard about people and being able to type. Oh, I type a hundred words a minute. You've never heard over one because one fifty is the point. So somebody says I type two hundred words a minute, that person is probably a psychic and they can and they can't reveal themselves. It's really all. It's all interconnected to time and space. But you know, I've done my own research on this stuff.

Can do their research, and you know, this is kind of what I came out with. But you know, what, do I know, Brothers, and I've been to Egypt and it felt real, Hey there it is there. That's cool, motherfucking boys. Completely, that's all they HOPEEP everybody time space. The only thing you missed was a little misogyny and

homophobia for a good part two. Well, I'll tell you what was funny is that we actually have some hotepness on season two of south Side, so looking for to Yeah, we had we added something, so I'm looking forward to that. And you're you brought that in in the perfect time. But we've nailed the episode. Could you tell all the people the cool ship you have going on? You have a lot of cool ship going on. Well, south Side

the TV show is gonna be on HBO. Max. I think one of the things that we're hard for us for the longest time is that people love the show. But then that you know, the very next comment would be like because somebody like j D. Pink would be like, oh my god, I love the show. Southside is great, and then all the comments and like, yeah, what are we watching? And that was nobody knew where to get this ship. It was including people on the show. We're like again, where my own mother. My own mother was

like I don't understand. I'm so hurt. I'm worried. But the good news is that this year south Side is gonna be on HBO. Max both and then we're shooting the new season for HBL Max too, So hopefully, if things are the way that we are planning them to go, everybody will be able to binge the show the way that I mean. I actually buying the damn thing on my xbox, So I'm really excited for fans of the show to be able to binge it, enjoy and really

see all the Easter eggs and things that happened. When you can binge the shows, sometimes you don't get in that weekly viewing. Um. And then Sherman Showcase we had to we had to not shoot it because of COVID, so we're gonna shoot it into this year early next and then that will be out. But were just premiered in Canada, so that's cool. Hopefully Drake, you know, he'll reach out come on here like the show Tor. Hey, Drake watched Tori, stay your ass off of Sherman Showcase.

Man hopefully, but yeah, we got that going on. And then you know, I think we're really excited to get back to Chicago and shoot season two, so you know, I for all the fans, you know it's coming and you're gonna be able to really enjoy it for a very long time. That's I'm very excited. Uh. But Sheer doesn't believe in social media, so you don't need to follow him anywhere. He he's anti that. But please watch someunside, please watch Sherman showcase. He's exceptional and both. Thank you.

This has been amazing and as all the way, you're exceptional and both too. By the way, thank you very much. Get out. You know they played your sketch of Red Rocks. Don't if you know that they played the Temptations of Levin sketch at Red Rock not for a bunch of people. Yes they did, and that's actually how I met this one. I want to say his name, but this one sports commentator because he's he was at the show and he was like, oh my god, it's so good. I love

that temptation sketch. So again, thank you for blessing us. Her Yeah, it was a pleasure, and you know, I'll happily do it whenever you ask me. I ain't got nothing there it is. We're all here. We're all here. But follow follow the podcast, follow me at Linkston Kerman and please subscribe, like do all the stuff that you're supposed to do. Okay, that's it. Goodbye, man's racist stuff can't tell me
