So look, if you want your DNA sequence by Andrew T, send in your samples. Because

Anyway, I am thrilled to be joined by a fantastic comedian, writer, host, podcaster, or producer, voiceover artist, the actor, multi hyphenid. I don't know how many other things to add, you know, the true son of Chicago, if I may say so myself, Please welcome to the microphone, mister Jackies. Now ye falling

It was such a sad song and everybody just wanted to fuck Alicia Keys after singing that sat I mean songs in a minor. That's fucking God. That album is fu wild oh man. So that other one girlfriend is also one of my favorite tracks on that too, because I was a little ODB sample you who love it? God love it. Shout out to Alicia Keys.

Please come back on the show. I know you're almost on, and then you walked off because you heard Jack and I do the intro and you're like, I don't have time for nonsense, but please come back. We are professional anyway, Jackies, we are thrilled to joined by another multi hyphen in I'll say, yes, what I guess the real question is what doesn't this person do? This person has been in I would say pretty much any TV show of consequence over the last you know, in the modern era. I can.
I can say that pretty confidently because every time I watch someone like wait, hold on and I text her and she's like, oh yeah, it doesn't me. We know she's also a fantastic comedian. She's also a wonderful host. You probably know her podcast Will You Accept This Rose, But she's also got a new one, a new joint called No Autographs Please. It's a new comedy improv show over here at iHeart with her and mister Bryan Staffee. Okay, And now she's got something else coming up, Jackies, which
actually relates to you. This April fifteenth, Tax Day in Brooklyn at the Bellhouse, there will be a live Will You Accept This Rose podcast show with not only jack Keys, but Michelle Collins and Margaret and Joe from the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Not Margaret Choe. Margaret and Joe from the Real Housewives of New Jersey, New Jersey Please welcome to the microphone, Miss Arden, Marie, Helle and so
basically with Margaret, Joe and Margaret Choe. Would it be if Margaret Chow was a new cast member fighting with Teresa on Real Housewives of New Jersey. Wow, I would watch it. I would watch it too. I would not be mad at I will watch it. I haven't seen New Housewives of New Jersey in a minute. But Teresa is she still Judici or does she have like a maiden name or what's her because she's got you guys, but she just know she just got married. She got married. Uh,
she got married to a gentleman. I don't know. I would bet our Queen Anna would know if she's taken. I bet she has a new name, but for now she always gonna be Trees and judaicce to me, yeah, and also am I am? I like extending too much respect for the Italian language by conrd Judici. I used to say Judic and then I I every time I could be wrong, I used to say Judici. I feel
like someone said it on the show like properly. I know they always said judea Ice, like Joe Judace or whatever, But then I heard someone say Judici or whatever, and I was like, I've heard Joe Judais. I always feel like I'm saying it wrong either way. I want to say Jude DJ but I think it's I think it's because of Joe Judai is Jude? I think it's Yeah? Well, I mean, but that's a very like Ellis Island way of pronouncing an Italian name, Like what is that judea Ice?
There you go Anthony and j Clay. You know what I mean? Yeah, you're right, You're right. I mean I happened to my friend who was growing up. Her last name she was, her mom's name was Tammy Tim mcguinney. And then like in her twenties, she was like, it's Timid Jeanie. You know what I mean. It's like, right, right, right, the Tim mcguinny. It's Timid Jeanie, like he got you know, I mean, listen, I'll say this, man. You know, we'd be out here mispronouncing names all the time. My name
gets mispronounced. Uh. It's very funny though, because you know, we're generally white people. It's your last names that we'd be fucking up. You know, we can't say your last names, y'all. Y'all last names, the heritage. Just where y'all come from. I don't know where it's from mine, Black people, it's our first name, ye, my last name. Nobody. It looks like Myron or Miron, but it's marine. You said it is Marie allegedly. I mean, who knows. It's like drunk Vikings.
I don't know who is to be any Swedish Swedish, Wow, Swedish my name is Jacquise, but nobody, everybody in mine, everybody in my family is too lazy to put all that should use you on it. So what do they call you? They just call me Jacquies. They don't put like, they don't put like that, they don't put like the Jacquis. They'll put the they on there. I want to say that Jacquise was a guest yesterday on No Autographs Please. He came and play with us with Brian and he
was so fun. You got to come to do it, mild It's a really fun improvis I'm Jackie Jacque Jacques kiss, a gifted improviser. I fuck around, but you know, I look, I'll try my best. You know, I will never turn down off with you. Ryan. I've done live shows with you where you've been improvising and you yeah, man, you know what the problem is. And this is so funny.
This goes back to like my own La comedy scene shit like of trying get trying to get into UCB when there was an artistic director that I did not fuck with and apparently didn't with me. Yeah, basically from there, I grew up. I got big. I became frustrated with improv and I turned my back after having an audition multiple times and getting so much encouragement from the other people of color at the theater, and I was like,
I'm off this and that. I was like, I'm not an improviser, but we all we all have some more feels like yeah, I think because I wasn't like an official, like I feel the same. I've played with you. You are,
like you are an increcredible improviser. You would kill this for real, Like because you didn't get picked by somebody Like that is such bullshit, because the guy even when I was a bad TV every summer because I was an official Second City or I wasn't a groundling or whatever, like I would still go take fucking classes every summer at Ucber Groundlings somehow that like in my brain just to prove I was enough. And at a certain point, I'm like, bitch, you got the job, and all these
like you got it. There's like eight sketch, there's eight there's like for like ladies, there was like six jobs in America. You got one of them. Like when is it enough? When like so you're not officially that like just trust that what you're doing is enough Miles, You're an amazing improviser. Care and you're gonna come play with us. Okay, we're gonna come play with each other in accents. Man, Hey,
give me a wig, and I'm back in that. I'm back on that groundling stage before before we jump, before we jump more. You know, listen, Dad is gone, so we're gonna go off the rails all the site Geist fans. I just want to say this, Yeah, I just want to say this all right, because you know, like a lot of times, we be saving all of the things we want to promote at the end. By the time we know what y'all doing. Y'all, y'all tuned out, you
get out. The actually have fantastic completion rates on this podcast, do you. Yeah, we really done. Yeah. Maybe they can teach me a thing or two about completing, Okay, Me and Arden. First of all, I want to say April fourteenth as well. Oh, yes, fourteen, you have your show a Union Hall, which is gonna be so fun at Union Hall. Yes. And then April fifteenth, yeah, me, you Michelle Collins, Anna Anna, Doctor Anna Bananna, Adrianna, Yes, Tanna,
Brian Safie, Brian Safee. We have Margaret and Joe from her Housewives in New Jersey and Mike Karanza. Oh, yes, well you accept this Rose tickets to local if you listens like gang, if y'all don't get y'all asses, I'm gonna be there's here's what's fun about it too, because we're not and you don't literally don't even a lot of our listeners don't even watch The Bachelor, Like it's sort of like a loose frame for like comedians to go play with each other and real and real housewives
to go play with each other. And you we're not even in season. You cannot possibly even be behind. It's a fun comedy show. It's at seven pm, it's in New York, so you can just go. It's like twenty bucks. You can still have your thing. But Jakis has agreed, Jacquis has agreed to let us. We're going to do treat him like the Bachelor. Oh, and he's gonna hand up a Roses, a first impressed Rose. We're gonna bring some gals up from the audience and we're gonna conduct.
We're gonna like let jacquies and we're gonna let Margaret, Joe and Michelle Collins pick who they think the best lady is, and then ultimately they can be the like like hometowns and his family and then but we're gonna pick a gal for Jackie drink together. Hey, New York Galdam, you heard the news. You could have a drink with
Jacqui's Neil if you play. If you know how to play the Bachelor game right and you do, let me go to Rosemond dot Vodka, Yeah, to get your tickets Rose podcast dot Vodka because literally we built the whole website dot com and then this website company that might be a sponsor of your show. So I'm not going to trash them, but they were like, oh, we didn't
secure it. We got rose podcast dot com. They're like, we didn't secure it, but rose podcast dot vodka is available, and we were like, why didn't you lead with that? We would have bought that immediately. Well, before we get into more vodka talk, let's tell people what we are talking about on the show. First up, good News and Wisconsin because extremism took another l in their Supreme Court race,
so we'll talk about that. Then we'll take it over to the wonderful windy city of Chicago, where they just had their mayoral election and Brandon Johnson hold one out against the beloved pick of the wealthy, mister Paul Vaias. So we'll talk about that race and why I remember who.
We're smiling about that, But also we'll have to talk about kid Rock freaking out about bud Light, because that's the latest conservative freak out where they don't understand that if you want to boycott something, don't buy the fucking product to destroy it. You absolute melt. Anyway, that's what we're going to talk about. Before we get into all that, we gotta ask you, Arden, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Thank you so
much for asking. I was actually with Anna last night and I pulled up with my last day history and we feel like this really kind of like just summed it up for me. I had typed into my Google search history. Who is Jerry? I don't even think I'm saying his right name right? Who is Girard Piquet's new girlfriend? Oh, Gerard Piquet, Yes, Shakira's ex husband, Shakira's ex husband. I googled who is his new girlfriend? Who he like cheat with? On Shikira? Wow? How could you? How is Shakira not enough?
I don't know. Have you heard you saw the latest thing about how his dad is evicting her and her and the two kids from their house in Barcelona? No, I do know that his dad yo want PK is like, y'all need to get the fuck out of this house. And she's like, and she left him. I think, what's in Miami? Well? I knew she left, and I knew she thanked the people of like frolicking in the sea and da da da da da. And I knew she
took the hips like those are your grandchildren? Yeah, I know, I know that's how that's how much he went with the son. He's like, I don't care if he cheated on you, dude, y'all. The new girlfriend went and screamed at a reporter on air. Did you see that? She was like she like busted into an interview and like screamed at a reporter on air, sort of like a don't you know who I am? Situation? It was pretty exciting.
So that was a search that just shows you the kind of heavy hitting things that I looked up late at nights. I got protective her hips don't lie her hips, don't lie. Don't husband? Does you know her husband does? Absolutely? What if some of you think is overrated, thank you so much for asking. I think going to bed early is overrated. I get it, I know. Yeah. I just feel like it's fun at night. I feel genetically. I'm
happier at night. I'm in a good mood. I don't care how tired I am, all of a sudden like sky's limit, the world's my oyster like energy. I feel good, I feel happy. I'm kind of a rascal like I don't want to go to bed right I'm a I'm a night owl. I'm a night I hate the morning me too. So look when when you come to this show in New York at seven pm? Oh my god, I'm gonna be at Prime Energy, baby, dude, Prime y'all
y'all think y'all think I got energy? Now let me tell y'all, well, record this ship out eleven thirty in the morning. Yeah, all right, I'm tired as fuck right now. But if we record, if we recording the ship as seven pm, we just like I just got a good night's sleep. I was just waking about to start my whole day, you know. And Jackies and I. We're both two night olls. We've never hung out at night. We like each other. I'm just gonna say, I like to keep girl. I like Arden, and I'm just gonna be
playing that Houdini album on Blast. The Freaks Calm out at Night, The Freakes Calm out at Night. Yeah, that is what we're gonna be flying. That is what we're gonna that. That in Mysticals, and we're gonna play that. And they wenna also play Mysticals Danger. Yeah, that's exactly what we're gonna play. You know, Mystical these days, you know he's been hum in a lot of trouble. I know we can't play you know, listen, you know everybody
Saystical is gonna be there, plastical. No, no, no, no, it's gonna be so literally, I cannot wait to treat you like the royalty that you are. You should be the battler. I cannot wait, because you know what, New York Cities they've got some hot girls. They got cool, like all different, like they got art sea growls, they got kind of like put together business girls. We're gonna fashion. You've got like, you know, like somebody in a band, Like I cannot wait to see who's showing up. I
don't care if you watch the bouts or not. To get a chance, We're gonna do a proper like little We're gonna go. We might do a pheromone test where we blindfold of Jacques and he smells and he's like, who does he chemically react to? That's fine, my gosh, let's please do that. People. Yeah, what's your favorite perfume? You know? Help? That was confusing? Yeah, what's your favorite perfume? What's this? What's the real scent you like? What's your
people doubt about themselves? And I'm gonna tell you I won't be real with you. I only know smells by girls names. Oh you smell like Oh, you smell like so and so? Right, right, I don't know. I don't ever know the perfume. But what about a vibe you like? You like an open like I like a little I like a little like a little like a little flowery like floral, flowery, floral, just like a little floral, fresh,
like a fresh summer light fresh. I can't I cannot wait to blindfold you and have you smell the women of your city with consent for everybody. Yeah, of course a little oh Man, so fun. Cannot wait. We'll have roses to hand out. I remember, like a true Millennia. I remember when Angel was the perfume and everyone's like, oh my god, Angel whatnot? Now you know, I don't listen. I don't know the names of them either. Yeah, if you, if you will, if you want to see how basic
I am. If anybody come out with some love spell, okay, oh my god, I hope somebody shows up with love spell. That would make our lives would be complete if women just come the whole because Bellhouse is a really high ceiling. If just reeks of love spell, we will know. New York City is Horney for I Love. If you come for the love spell or bassive body work for Apple splash, you know you're for it, warm vanilla sugar. As I say, what if something you think is underrated? Artist, thank you
so much for asking. I feel like being a good party host is underrated, Like there's it. I take throwing a party seriously, like I know, I'll say this before you before you go. I will, I will underscore underlying coast. I think anybody who has been to Arden's house for a party will say, yeah, you don't fuck around when you when you host a party. So I will give you that on it right now. I say, yes, I agree with wherever you're going. I just want to let
the audience though. This is not a lie. I throw a kick gass party. M she does. I throw one a year. Here's the thing. I actually had a therapist back in the day who helped me. She was like, look, bitch, nobody at the end of the day. You got to be a relaxed host. So the second the first guest shows up, you're done. And you've got to be a guest at your own party and just trust that people are adults and that so I literally, I also don't believe to me, I don't. I'm not a bartender gal.
I like an elegant, elevated house party. I put out all the alcohol anybody could want. So whether you're sober and trying to hide that you're sober, you mean you want to make a little like at like you know, a little seltzer water with some bitters or whatever, or if you're like, I'm gonna drink all of the alcohol in most ails, I don't care, but I don't give a shit. Build yeah, and then you have some great tacos that you'll always you gotta have great snack. Oh guisados, Yah,
let's not be let's not look around. Well I know, I'm like, man, I'm here for the guisatos guisados. Then I also have to say, it's got to look gorgeous. And again it can even just be from Trader Joe's flowers. Most of my flowers, like, make it look beautiful. Hide anything you don't want stolen or broken. You hide it, and then after that break or steal whatever you want in my house. I don't care. I don't care. If okay, good, you know, I'll be like, okay, if it's not hidden,
I don't care. Literally happen. You got a nice TV already nice TV. I literally don't give a shit. Take it if it's nuts, if it's nut, walked away with the cats. Take I don't give a shit. There you need a little area, so like we got some shy guys, they can go like, I put little smoker section outside. I like, I will leave like cigarette, don't give a shit. Who wants to smoke everything? Don't judge them through in
the smoking section, you know. And then I hire a DJ and I clear out my living room, and you don't have to. There's different things to find. You gotta everybody needs an activity. But also let the shy people go hide in the corner if they want. Like if your guests alone, they're adults, they can do whatever they
want and just let them have at it. And like I always say an end time, even though it's not really and end time, but I say it to make people actually feel like they gotta come, you know what I mean. It's like, okay, it ends really hads it like too, I say like seven to eleven so that people actually show up by l ten thirty right right, right, let go. I love these tips. Yeah, as someone who had a wedding in the last year, that was the best advice I got because I'm very much like a
people pleaser type personality. And they were like I was like, man, I'm so fucking stress. And I remember like my cousin in law or whatever, it was like, man, you gotta like you can need to be a guest at this ship. Don't be like you need to stop being a host. You need to be a guest right now. And that little sentence completely flip the switch in my brain and I was basically out of my wedding suit and in a you know, shorts in a jersey within ten minutes.
I love it because it's also like if you're so worried about because I get so anxious if somebody doesn't know someone, like are they going to be okay? And just trusting that, Like they're adults, they've all been to parties. There's enough little things that they can keep up moving and like, you know, I try to have assholes on my life, so like anybody they talk to is gonna be fun and cool. Absolutely, Yeah, you know you're taking
care of love Martin mariness House. Yeah, there's my underrated thing. I love a party. You don't have to do it a lot, but like just leave your guests alone. And also you know it's going late because she is a motherfucking night owl. Thank you. Oh by the way, I also leave flowers for all my neighbors in a note and I warn them in advance it's gonna be loud, and I kind of free, I sort of. I just I'm like, I don't leave my number for them to like text me to shut it up, but I leave
them like a again, just Trader Joe's like Roses. It's six bucks. Yeah, I like, hey, but here's yeah, yeah, ri ip to your sense of tranquility, but your are the flowers. Just so you know, please don't bother me. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about some news right after this, and we're back, and extremism has taken another loss in the state of Wisconsin. Judge Janet Proto Sawick. I believe that's how we say her name, but forgive me if
I mispronounced it. One her state Supreme Court election, and basically now the state Supreme Court in Wisconsin has a four to three liberal majority, which is very good news, especially if you're somebody who values things like reproductive rights or voting rights, because Wisconsin has been Jerrymander to shit and with the hit job that the state legislature did to ensure that the Democratic governor Tony Evers had limited power, the shift in the Supreme Court is a substantial first
step at addressing these issues. So that's a very very good sign, you know, just to give people some perspect if the state currently has like a pre Civil War abortion band like on their books, like one hundred and seventy three years old law, and then they tried three weeks ago to switch it up to make it seem like not completely fucked up and inhumane in a bill that was written in eighteen forty nine, like yeah, yeah, we can make exceptions for like rape, incest or the
health of the mother, and so maybe you guys don't need to pay attention to the Supreme Court race so much because you know, we're we're less vile. Turns out, the people of Wisconsin were not fooled, and they came out in full force, and forty million dollars was spent on this race. Forty million dollars on a state Supreme
court race. That's about eight episodes of Friends worth of actor pay to put in perspective, Okay, if they were making a million episode to five of them or whatever, oh six, yeah, yeah, okay, look for inflation, we'll just we'll call it what it is. But yeah, that's the
amount of money. So thanks to as solid turnout from young people and other residents that fully understood the stakes, here the Republican freak of the week, Dan Kelly got smashed, and even better news, he lost in every single swing district, so you know, good news for people who, wow, that's amazing. Yeah, yeah,
good job Wisconsin. Yeah, I mean I think it's probably you know, having zero compassion for human beings, yeah that may need medical care is not that appealing of Yeah, but think yeah, I don't know not Yeah great, I mean yeah, so we'll see what, you know, how this all plays out. But it sounds like, you know, the Supreme Court is set to hear an abortion case this
month or later this month. So having that new majority was a very very good sign and hopefully will also can address these electoral maps because you know, there's places like Sheboygan where it's liberal, but they've carved that map up that basically says, y'all are never to find get a Democrat in here because we right, yeah, carved that
map the fuck up. Yeah, I mean, it's it's a it's a beautiful thing to see in all these cities and states when there is a candidate that is progressive or an idea or an issue I should say, not an idea that is progressive or left or whatever you want to call it. I'd say in this case, these should be sent issues. But yeah, yeah, yeah, but something that's not outsane and yeah, outsane insane and outlanded. Yeah, it's very It is nice to see you don't know,
we're going to talk about Chicago soon. It's nice to see these people win and these issues like win and actually come out on top. And you know, it gives me some hope for the future that yeah, we need is need the right people. You need the right people the turnout and against all that cash. You know what I mean that it's so like that the right thing one is would feel it's really it is. You know,
it's nice to have a little hope somewhere. The Republicans are doing a terrible job of just understanding where people are at because they're just so fixed on like we gotta preserve this like yeah Christian like f no nationalist state and that's what we're gonna keep selling people. But yeah, there's only a limited supply of those people that you're gonna appeal to, so by going all in on this
shit is not great at all. Yeah. In any way, her opponent and also Civil War ghost Dan Kelly, had this to say as he you know, conceded the race. Although I will warn you what he's about to say is very classy and upstanding. Oh my god, and it brings me no joy to say this. I wish that in a circumstance like this, I would be able to concede to a worthy opponent. Wow, but I do not
have a worthy opponent to which I can concede. This was the most deeply deceitful, dishonorable, despicable campaign I have ever seen. Run drink up these tears, drink them up straight to the head. It was truly beneath contempt. Oh yeah, Now I say this not because we did not prevail. I can't say this because of the rancid slanders that were launched against me. Okay, and by that they mean, you know, just quoting you, and you know, just taking it and doing an analysis of what your values are
as a candid But anyway, go off, Daniel Kelly. And here's the thing. Here's the thing about that he's trash. Let's get that out the way. Sure, but you know, I appreciate because listen, we live in a world where in certain areas where you gotta be diplomatic because that's what's expected of you. I would be all force that might be like, you know, I'm man, fuck that nigga. I hate his ass. I'm mad he won. I wanted
this ship. He sucks. Yeah he won. I could see else but fuck him, fuck him, and you know what I would I can't even be mad at I mean there's a difference. Yeah, it's it'd be I guess you could be like, yeah, I fine, be petty. But also when someone's just like going like the smears, like now you're lying in your version. It's just a transparently sore loser, which most people can identify with because we've all been
children at one point. Yes, and you're like what, I don't like this happened, And people be like, yeah, maybe you shouldn't be deciding if people get healthcare, but you know, it is what it is. I think I think people saw that were like, holy shit, glad that wasn't the person that Yeah, exactly at all. Ye, sore loser is a thrilling thing to witness, especially a sore loser. This season on the Bachelor, when Christina Mandrel but she was like I wanted that rose, you know, like when her
ends got the rose and I loved it. I didn't you because everybody wanted it. And she's the first person in history just to say I won that bro shit. But Mara was like, for no reason, now, they're just being a sore loser. I was like kind of here for her store loser, her open, not China, like for fake nice, like she was just pouting and I was here for it, right yeah, And I'll tell you this,
and Myles, you'll you'll get this. I'm not. I mean, I don't know if we've never talked about sports, so I don't know if you're a sports fan or not. But Myles, I know you are. You'll get this. There is nothing that feels better when you won than a sore motherfucking Oh yeah, tell me, why tell me everything? Because it just because it just makes the wind feel that no sweeter. Yeah, they're basically telling you. They're like, you're so good and I fucking suck is a subtext.
That's why I like. That's why I loved that Angel reeth shit and Caitlyn Clark, I love it. She hit her with that, and then every sore loser came out there like no she stole it from Tony ye yo, not John Cena anyway, but yeah, no, no that they see I like that. I like that you because you do feel that, like, oh you are vanquished, because if you weren't truly the vanquished, you would not go this far to express your pain. And that's and I will
drink up those tears gladly. That's fun. I like that. Anyway. Let's move on to the baby city of Chicago again. Just good news again. Two Democrats went head to head to take over the office that the first openly gay and black woman, Laurie Lightfoot held and as the mayor of Chicago. Uh, and there's Paul. I don't know if it's Vaus or Vallis. You know, I'm I'm Vallas. I'm in LA. You know, I see that the AA and I go Vayas. But is Vallois, mister vas your vas
Paul Vallis? H Yeah, you know he had too much malice in his heart because he was absolutely adored. Mister Paul Vallas was adored by the police. They loved his take on what he believed Chicago is or was, is that Chicago's a criminal hell escape and the only way through this is if we have nine million more cops on the streets and nine billion more dollars to pay
them over time as they wish. He even got the co sign of the Fraternal Order of Police, the leader of which is fucking pro insurrection to speak, I'm understanding. So the pro insurrectionist police Fraternal Order of Police guy was like, we back Paul Vallas because he gets it. On the other side. Yeah, Brandon Johnson, it's a black man. He's a former social studies teacher and his endorsement comes from the teachers Union, which I think I'll take that
over the police every fucking day. Yeah, but he is not so into the idea of giving cops money. In fact, he wants to. Now, his opponent tried to be like, he said, defund the police, which look, whatever, yeah, go ahead. But Brandon Johnson he played it smart. He's like, I never said that. I just said we need to reevaluate the budgets and figure out if we're spending this money correctly. And I like the tack that he took because he's like, man,
police are doing too much. You know, we gotta we gotta, we gotta help them out by giving them less money
so we can put it into social services. And I like the subtext of what he was saying anyway, So he wants to give them less money so he can again you know, actually fund social programs and things that actually have a like a tangible effect on crime and things like that, and also obviously more money for schools, transportation, etc. He also wanted to tax the airlines, yikes, the wealthy, and the suburbs, because, as he puts it, you have too many people using the infrastructure of Chicago to make
these super high wages that then leave the city where they go back to their wealthy suburbs that are all we are already properly like financed through taxes. So they're like, say, I don't know, we need to figure this all out, because I can't. You can't just be tape bleeding all this money out of the city when it really should
be going back into the city. So a lot of people and initially when it was the when Lori Lightfoot lost her reelection bid, he was down fifteen points against Vallis and the polling did not look like he was in his favor. My man pulled it out. Wow, I
pulled it out. It's a beautiful thing. Man. As now, listen, I will preface what I'm going to say with I have not lived in Chicago since two thousand and twelve, so almost eleven years now, and there are people who are on the ground who know more about the Chicago politics and scenes than I do right now, just because I it's not my home anymore, but I still care about it deeply. I still have family there. I still
love my city. I remember Paul Vallas when when I was a kid, he was his name was on every
Chicago Public schools letterhead. It was on in every school like it's it's name recognition, baby, So like that was the thing, you know, like all my grandparents, my aunt's, all my old ass cousins, they was like, oh, Paul Vallas, Oh yeah, we're we know that name right because we send our kids to Chicago Public School CPS, and and you know, it's kind of like for those who live in La may notice, it was kind of like the
Rick Caruso thing where it was his name recognition. But this motherfucker is not really a Democrat, you know, not in the same way that we would associate that, especially nowadays. Yeah, this is the second black male president president mayor that Chicago's has since Harold Washington, which is a very big name in Chicago and black culture. We loved Harold Washington, and I'm very happy for Brandon Johnson. I think it's a beautiful thing. I'm happy for his issues where he stands.
I'm happy that another black person is in that I'm happy that for the first time and that I know of. Maybe some nerd knows more than I do in Chicago, but for the first time that I know of, this is the first black to black mayor that we've ever had in Chicago. It's a great thing. It's a beautiful thing. I'm so excited for that city because it's still home. I still love it. It's still in my heart. I still would live in Chicago at some point in my
life from May to September. But like, here's one thing that I want to say, here's one thing that I want to say to for Brandon Johnson and his supporters and where we are. And this is a larger issue. So if you're not in Chicago, I think this is relevant to you as well. If you are on the progressive side or you know you you fight for progress. The thing about progress is it is always progressing, right, So, like, so what that means is that and and this happens
a lot with black people. This happens a lot with black progressives because you know we still live in a very white world. You have to allow progressives the space to still progress, right, which means that if in a year from now, because we are progressing, our ideas and our issues progress in change, that we know, we don't now say Brandon Johnson ain't doing shit, all right, because then that's the issue we run into where you're like,
all right, well, let this man actually go. And people don't let black people grow, People don't let black politicians grow. People turn on black politicians way quicker than they turn on white politicians. And when I say people, I mean all you motherfucking leftists and progressives and everybody, and which I consider myself one as well, Right, y'all turn on black people and people a color way quicker than you turn on other motherfuckers. And if you don't believe that,
look inside yourself because you're full of shit. But like, we gotta allow this man to actually do the job, and we gotta allow this man's space to fail. And we got to allow this man space to grow, and we got to allow this man space to progress as we progress, and we got to allow this man the grace to know, like we may not agree with him on every issue. But that's okay because he is fighting in the interest of the people of Chicago for the
better of Chicago. And as long as we were remember that and we allow this man the space to do his job and we keep him honest. I'm not saying we don't ever criticize the dude, or you don't ever criticize him. Not saying that. I'm just saying, don't in two years from now and be like, this motherfucker ain't even progressive unless he proves not to be right. Yeah, yeah, Like a lot of these conversations are nuanced, right, So if you're taking off all this in black and white,
that's your problem. But like, I want to make sure that you know the people of Chicago who voted for this dude, especially if you're a white person, you don't have a short fuse for what this man is trying to accomplish in this city. Because I do believe he's going to do some great I do believe that in the name of Harold Washington, he may be the next great mayor. And man, we don't have the daily machine
to you know, come back into Chicago. This could be truly the start of a beauty full error in the city where we have something to be proud of with our politicians, or at least our top politicians. So I'm happy for the dude. I wish him nothing but the best. I love my city. I'm proud of y'all, and god speed to Brandon Johnson in Chicago. Man, I mean well said, I mean, he himself said. Even in his speech as he you know, he was, you know, patting himself on
the back. He's like, look, if you didn't vote for me, He's like, I want you to know. He's like, I give a fuck about you. He's like, because the way I look at it is that this is something that affects every Chicago and as mayor, that's what I'm trying to do is make things better and safer for people there. And yeah, you gotta let people cook at a certain point. Sometimes, you know, some people do reveal themselves all too often
to be progressive on the campaign trail. Then they fucking swear in and then they're like, right back to the bullshit. But I mean, I think for how you know, sort
of direct he was during the campaign. He wasn't speaking like someone who was always quite triangulating, and you know, maybe he was, but from the few things I saw, I saw someone who seemed pretty since here and yeah, despite again, like you know, his platform of saying less cop money and tax the wealthy, you know, the like the polls reflected this feeling at first where people are like, I don't know where a lot of wealthy people are like, okay, we're all in for Vallis. And he still pulled it
off despite Valles being flushed with cash. Great news and also too, what is even better is that guy from the Fraternal Order of Police or Chicago was like, if you fucking elect Brandon Johnson, yeah, you are gonna have a mass exodus of like a thousand, eight hundred to a thousand officers are gonna fucking leave if you if you guys elect this guy, yeah yeah, And then Chicago said hold my beer and Myles hot Dog Okay, because
we did it. Those are the we don't want. Yeah, if anybody gonna leave, those are people want anyway, So yeah, they've credit to cut you off hard. No, no, I was, it's just even what you were saying. I'm one of my good friends. Is has been in public office and a very liberal city, and she's a very progressive person and is kind of a high level and it's just even allowing people the grace of like the time of like there's a lot of things she wants to do
that just the mechanics of what the machine is. It's like you still have to like go through this system. Like it's still hard to get like like what she wants to do, and like the mechanics of actually executing it are like it's still you're still dealing with an infrastructure of like having to kind of like to get like work with people that are already there to get
it going, you know. So offends Yeah, and I think that's why most people find themselves in a position where they're up against the status quo and realize how difficult it is and then end up kind of folding. So, hey, keep your heads up and hopefully we will see, you know, some some good things come out out. The one last thing I'll say to that to that point is be happy and sell a break and definitely, you know, clap your hands for when he does things that you want
him to do. But in the times when you realize it's a little harder, and the times you realize, like, man, he may not be able to get shipped through. That's when you need to champion him more and be like, no, we support what he's trying to do, and anybody who isn't letting him get through, whether it's Alderman or you know, state senator or whatever, take the motherfucker's out of office. Yeah, but surround him. Surround him with people who are going to be on the same path as him. Right, We're
trying to do that. We're trying to do that in LA and it's very difficult, especially who are like, I'm not resigning even though you heard and you'd be racists ship. Yeah, okay, not gonna happen anyway. Oh, Jackie's you've just been announced as the deputy mayor of Chicago. Yeah, I know someone was going on behind the scenes. You know who I would be. I would be like Bernie Mack when he was a vice president of of Hannah State and Love. And they was like, so are you worried about Chris Rocks,
like safety as the first black president? Was like, no, no, no, because if they kill him, then I'm gonna be your president. All Right, We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about some some fucking really effective protests from Kid Rock. We're gonna take a quick break,
we'll be right back, and we're back. And so is conservative outrage or just idiotic outrage At this point, it's just wild to think that anyone is complaining about bud Light for any other reason aside from it's just you know, it's it's a swill water. You know, bud light is not beer, Like I fuck with a bud Light, but it's because it's the easiest form of a fizzy drink that has a little bit of alcohol in it. I'm
never like, that's a beer. I need a beer, I said, I need to make Yeah, throw me a bud Light anyway, But here we are. The outrage has continued. The company recently partnered with a trans TikTok influencer named Dylan mulvaney, and you can only guess what happened. The transphobes just came out in full force on social media. But the worst reaction of them all had to come from mister
kiddeth Rock or kid Rock as you know him. He did a really cool I guess he made a viral video really just he was outraged, so you know what he did. He got his fucking machine gun out, and he got a bunch of cases of bud light while we're in a maga hat fucking you know, just fucking
ripped through these cases of bud light. And basically this image of kid Rock with like an assault rifle backwards maga hat shooting at beer cans looks like if you're like, hey, Siri, show me a picture of America, because that's pretty much the image I think it would pull up. Is this nonsense?
So the video because everyone's like, man, this is fucking stupid, you know, like people like a father of a Parkland victim was just like, hey, this is fucking really stupid, and it's just not even clever, and you're just you know, you're just contributing to more gun humping culture. This is fucked.
And he ended it with fuck you in his tweet to even people who rightly pointed out that, like I said at the top of the show, if you're buying a product, even to fucking machine gun at the fuck up, you're still kind of doing the opposite of a boycott because you have given Anheuser Busch your money. Because this is something they still haven't quite figured out because they're just like I need to destroy this thing in effigy
and that is how now you have learned. And again most other people point out there, like have you just been looking at bud light shit recently, because they have been doing pride based advertising since like the nineteen nineties. Yeah, but again, know I'm not sure. Maybe he was you know, fucking up some empty bottles since the nineties, but I have no idea. And again, you know, they've been doing some kind of LGBTQ plus positive promotion, you know, like
every few years. But it's weird because the cycle is the same, Like they do a promotion, the people get fucking outraised, and then they forget about it after presumably having like twelve to fifteen bud lights, and then we repeat this cycle. It's um, yeah, it's a It always cracks me up when it is very clear, like whenever, like you know, people on the left or voters on the left to protest or say we're not gonna do anything, like we straight up just don't like consume or give
our money to it. Well, whenever people on or right say they go out and buy the ship, and it's just like, yeah, what are you doing you're still buying it, bro Like it makes no sense Democrats. Democrats to do this thing. They would be like, I'm boycotting Amazon and still be getting crime. They just burned the Prime box nobody, And then Republicans are like, I'm boycotting this by buying a ton of it wild and like yeah, then some
people are actually principal. But it is so funny how this version is always like even when it's like like with Cure Egg or Nike, they're like, I just bought these snikey socks, but after hearing that they're with Kaepernick, they're going in the fire. You're like, if you really want to fuck them up, buy them secondhand, you know, But anyway, that's it's literally also like how much time
do you have on your hands? Do you know what I mean of like like that you've got this much free time you're going out of a way to buy the thing you're angry about. You're like, just you know that there's never any living let live at all, like jet, like what are you doing? What are you doing? It's it's just like, you know, this is the caveman brain of being like I'm angry at this, and yeah, the only way I know how to express my displeasure is
to physically destroy it. Yeah, there's nothing else like you know, we should be doing. There's a pressure campaign on the bottling cup, like there's no if that's not a real fucking bo That's the thing is, it's not really based in real outrage that would motivate someone to you know, actually change their consumer choices. It's just like I'm gonna shoot that fucking thing and wild. That's where it has. Unfortunately, that form of expression in this country is all too common.
But again, like just last year in Canada, bud Light had a bud Light Camp that was like a very you know, LGBTQ plus friendly like event that was meant to be like this whole summer camp that was like an ally focused adult camp that would had like you know, beach parties and drag brunch or something like that. Crickets where they didn't they fucking they didn't see that part.
Before that, they had a commercial all about gay marriage, which did prompt some weird tweets from some chill bros who didn't want to hear Seth Rogan talk about how bud Light was down with gay marriage. But I mean okay, So again, some of these efforts to have been pretty bad too. I'm not here to pat Anheuser Busch on
the back by any fucking means. Yeah. In twenty nineteen, they had a rainbow colored bottle and they were slammed for this campaign that like with alongside this like rainbow colored bottle, it said LGBTQ, and it said let's grab beers tonight queens. No, no, no, I cannot sorry, absolutely not. Let's grab beers tonight was sometimes I was sometimes I was more of the world was were like comedians because that shit is hysterical. I'm so okay that they're like
it rode from test groups. They're like, let's go with that. That's cool, right. It was probably a bunch of assists, head dudes who were in those marketing meetings. That's the same way like when you get like, you know, Juneteenth like marketing where you're like, a black person had nothing to do with this advertising or this campaign somehow, and they're just let's grab beer to hey, dude, you know what else could stand for? Dude, Let's grab beers tonight queens.
Oh fuck yeah, put that down. I didn't put that on every bus stop in the world. Let's grab beers tonight, queen. That sounds so natural. That's exactly, that's exactly what Yeah, like, what are you talking about? It feels like good. I don't think I don't think there's any I don't think there's any lesbian or or anybody in LGBTQ that has ever said let's grab beers tonight. Queen. You're taking like like cis head dude culture and then just throwing queens on it to make it at the end be like, hey,
grab beers tonight, queens. I cannot slaying say yeah, we're gonna go get that mad puss tonight queen. Dude, yeah, queen hell yeah. Anyway, So then there were like ads in the early nineties which could have been groundbreaking or they featured like faceless like gay men, we just see two arms from behind, and despite some claims, they weren't part of a mainstream ad campaign but rather like printed as they say, quote only in the lesbian and gay
print press. So not always the bravest, but like recently, bud Light's parent company, Anheuser Busch, was like the subject of also Pride weekend protests, like when the stonewall in announced they're going to be dumping their bud light in Stella reserves to call attention to the fact that Annheuser Busch donates to anti LGBTQ politicians. So kid, my man, they're doing the actual functional work of funding the fucking ghouls and goblins that are that have the votes to
further dehumanize this community. But yeah, let's get mad at their collaborations with you know, TikTok influencers and then you know the donations, Like obviously they're still doing harm today. They include politicians like Tennessee's Mike Bell, who introduced the bill that teachers are quote not required to use a student's preferred pronoun when referring to that student if the preferred pronoun is not consistent with the student's biological sex.
They're backing that guy. So wow, y'all are on the same team. What's really funny though, too, is like for all the outrage, you see a lot of these like outraiged fucking homophoes on like on social media being like that's it, man, I'm not drinking that anymore. I'm drinking Corona now or like whatever, like you know what, That's why I like my German beer, like you know, fucking grossh or I drink Parni the Italian beer or whatever
I'm doing IPAs. Guess what, assholes, most of the fucking like beers that these people were saying they were switching to are owned by Anheuser Busch in Bev. Here's the thing about capitalism, my outraged people on the right, you don't have a choice. A lot of the time, you may think they're these different brands like que Mess or Fosters or Corona or Stella or hoo Garden or Left or Spotting or Gross or Bass or Movello Guests or ConA red Hook, all of these fucking beers are all.
You gotta do some research, folks, if you're really trying to keep the money out of their pockets. Yeah, so rich. Which is why I don't which is why I don't boycott shit, because I'm just like, man, whatever, hey, homebody, whatever, how But honestly, like I couldn't be I would love to just like do a bunch of jobs that like I'm not qualified for, because I would just do the wildest shit that would probably not be good to do, but it would be funny to me. Like if I was.
If I was in Hagel Bush, I would create a company that just said fuck bud Light and like all the shit that like people are on the right, yeah, like fuck, but like when you shoot these bottles, a big missed in the air grows up that says fuck everybody else who ain't on my side, and like be like, so buy this shit? Why they still don't know that they're just putting money back in my I would create shit for them. I would creation for them. You know how great it is to make a product that people
ain't gonna consume, they just gonna buy. I would put piss in it. I would. I wouldn't put it. I wouldn't even put anything in it. You ain't gonna take it. You need to hire Jackies. Jackies but Anheuser Busch. He is your new marketing man, coming up a new product. Money. He'll take your money. It's all good. Take your money, honey, put it in the shell company, you know, right, it's one of his LLC's and he will yeah, with your
new campaign. Oh yeah, but yeah, I mean it is funny where and it's like, oh yeah, y'all think I'll have just It reminds me of that primaries during the presidential year too. It's like, can you think they're different? Guess what because come inauguration they're all singing from the same hymnal. But it is what it is.
