Day. What a day, Yes, a mighty good day. Yes. Also the host obviously black fat fem as well. Yes, our sisters show. Yes, Yes, how are you? How are you? Doctor John? You know

I'm doing quite well. You know, It's it's been a I'll say, it's already April and I'm looking up and I'm going may I mean, March was like I gotta go. I don't even remember, and that's like it literally zipped by. So I'm like, god, it's already April seven. But I'm feeling good. You know, we've been we've been doing really good over here in the the Black Fat film world as well as in my own life and world. Things have been all right. So everything's good, BEAUTI Okay, it's

a thing. What's it like? You know? I know, what kind of what kind of pitches you got going right now? What kind of pitches? You know? So I said this last time I was on the show, and I'm gonna say it again. Hire me. You know I am I. There have been some really cool things that have have been moving. I have something that's actually getting ready to come up that I can announce right now. You know,

NBA's is something else. When you live in a world, you know they tell you this great thing happened, but you gotta shut your mouth about it. You'm like, no, forever, forever from us. Let me ask you something, Doctor John? Can I can I call you doctor John? You sure can do. Let's be real. Let's be real when we have NDA's, because you know we are familiar with NDAs. On average, how many people you break that NDA for? I break the NDA for the people that's in my

immediate circle. Obviously my husband's gonna know about it. Yeah, because again it's real hard to do anything without my husband being like, what's happening? So usually you've been going for a week, right, what are you doing? Who are you doing? Right? You gotta break the NDA for your family. Usually my mom, WAI will know. My mom will be the second or third person I call outside of my manager. But you know, when it start coming down to friends, I have friends who are like, oh God, what are

you up to? I'm like, I'm not telling you nothing because you can't to keep a secret. So no, and let's be clear, and let's be clear, this is hypothetical. You haven't broke any INDI you haven't even told a husband. Now, for anybody who listening, yes, this is a hypothetical. This is actually this is an improv comedy scene. We just yeah with the one suggestion was NBA, that's always yeah, that's but you know overall that that's been, that's been

a part of the world. And then you know, I want some awards for script recently actually play finalists with Series Best. You know, I've gotten awards with Crown and Scene Play and also the Santa Barbara. There are a few other ones that I'm waiting to come through to see if I want or not. But it's really cool just to see people actually paying attention to the shit I know that I have to say in that right, So it's really cool. Pardon me? Is like, man, I

made a mistake asking them what was going on? What the funk I got going on? No? No, I'm good, We're not starting this episode off too. I go like, man, I'm down on myself, and then the two hey, listen, you know how you know how the melonative folks do when we'd be like Mash and I'm just trying to be like you. That's always trying to be like you. Bro, We're all trying to be like each other. And what

better three people to try and be like than us? Right? Um, well, look, doctor John Paul Higgins, we are going to get to know you even better in a moment. But first we need to tell the people what they can look forward to in this episode. First we got to talk about it feels like there's a disconnect. The general public don't really give a shit about Trump right now. There's a lot of real pressing shit going on, but the media they just cannot kick their fucking habit of giving this

man so much oxygen. So I just want to talk about just a slight thing that I've noticed this in the last week where I'm like, oh, we're doing twenty sixteen again. Huh. We're like, we're gonna We're gonna fully regress and not learn a damn thing from that election. So we'll talk a little bit about that. Then we're gonna talk about Candace Owens, who was profiled and Vanity Fair And obviously we know that Candice Owens is a disgrace to the culture. I mean, for to credit to her.

She's like, I want nothing to do with the culture. But anyway, we'll talk about this vaniture very I'm just sorry. I'm just saying her hair says that she wants nothing to do with absolutely. Yeah, she has she has met say that too. So we're gonna talk about this vanity fair profile because there's some interesting stuff I didn't learn.

But even more importantly, there's just like there's just some interesting stuff in there that I had not realized that we'll talk about because it is a pretty decent profile to read. She was born to white parents. No, you know, she's rough into No, she's kind she kind of has that like Clarence Thomas like path where like course, like shit's bad for you as a black person, but then you somehow are like nah, like there is no right and you know what, I'm gonna cape for them now.

So it's very interesting read. But you know, we'll get to the just the more gossipy parts because that's the funnier part to me, and that will read rather than getting down on you know, this person being completely lost out there and then in some entertainment news I had no idea Diddy is paying Sting five thousand dollars a

day right now this morning. Yeah, So we're gonna talk about that why that is, and if we have time, we may touch on you know, Clarence and his sugar daddy, and maybe even we might even be able to touch on the potato lobby trying to change our holiday. Actually we'll probably get to that because Easter is upon us very soon. But first before we do all that, doctor John Paul Higgins, what is something from your search history

that is revealing about what you're interested in? What you're looking Yeah, So last night I was on the phone call with some friends and I was telling them we were talking about flying. My partner absolutely hates flying. I have to I fly a lot, like for a lot of the work that I do a lot of places. Was like, hey, come on out, and so we were

talking about being fat on the plane. And I guess I have always heard people mentioned the Southwest policy that for fat people that you could basically ask for an extra seat, but I didn't know specifically how it works. And so last night, or actually the last few days, I've been like looking into how people of size that's what they call them people of size. Policies worked specifically

with Southwest. They have a deal where if you buy two tickets up front, you can't when you get to wherever you're going or when you get back from your trip can request the second ticket as a refund, or you can go earlier to a Southwest like So, for instance, if you live in LA and you're like, oh, I'm flying out of Lax in two weeks, you can go to the Southwest desk. I don't know why. First off, going to south going to Lax to do all of this is a lot, so not fly that day is

a lot. So, but ultimately you can go early to the desk and say, hey, I'm flying in a couple of days, a couple of weeks. Can I get a second seat assigned to me? And if they have the space, they will do it for you. Or you could go the day of and run the risk of probably not getting it. They say that they don't recommend it you doing it the same day. But yeah, there's a whole policy that a lot of airlines have, specifically Southwest, around

fat people who fly often. So so your options are if you got it like that, you can buy two tickets right and then refund the other one. And if you don't, you can just go a little bit ahead of time and just ask you say I'd like to get a second seat yep, and they will put you in. They will they will put this basically, they will sing two seats to you right, and then whatever two seats

that you choose when you're on the plane. Basically when you get on, you'll say, hey, I'm actually yeah, because I think they do like a seventeen A eighteen, so you'll basically on your ticket have a seventeen A eighteen as a blockout for you to make sure that no one can take the seat next to you. Is that like the by far the most generous policy of the airlines from what I read, because like I said, i've been I've been looking at it for the last few days.

From what I've read, I think there's this probably the most kindest. Delta also has a really good kind of policy. I haven't really read into Delta's too much, but I would say Southwest is probably the probably the most affordable and the nicest policy out of all the policy. And let's be real, you can flat to Burt Bank, you can fly to Burbbank on Burbank the one true airport. Ye, don't go to Lax, go to Burbank. Go fly to Burbank. Wait, why can't you just go to Burbank? You could? You

could you go to Long Beach too. Long Beach also is a very small Long Beach, Ontario, Burbank, all of them, they're all small air was like, why are you going to Lax, He's don't go. Don't go to Burbank. Never fly to Burbank. Is to where it's the places that I love this man. I think we should have more. We should definitely have more policies for comfort on these planes. Man. Yeah, it's it's insane. Yeah, they're built to basically like want you to spend more money, all right, As it is,

they're trying to make the experience as like uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah, we should also have I just don't like people, right, yeah right, you know, yeah, because I can comfort plus. If you do comfort plus a delta, you still run the risk of having somebody awful sitting next to you, which I have had several times happened to me where I'm like, okay, I'm gona pay the extra two hundred for comfort plus, and then you still get an asshole sits next to you, right, Yeah, who want both of

the seat things? It's like, dude, stop, That's why I take the window, and I'm just gonna keep take the window. Lane. I'm a lane. Are you Let me? Let me let me derail us for one second? Plane though, but let me I have a question. What's you guys as thoughts on reclining in the seat back? What do you mean on the plane? Do it? Do that? Do that? Ship? I go back and forth with it, I do, I really try. I struggle with it. In first class, Yes,

recline your seat all the way back. But when you're like Comfort plus in Maine, it's really hard from the person sitting behind you too. So I tend not to recline my seat. When I'm in Comfort Plus or main cabin. I recline that motherfucker all the way and that's fair. You pay for it. Yeah. Let me let me tell you something. As soon as we hit nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety eight feet, my ass is leaning and I'm the person behind you trying to do work up

I computer with the track all up in. But titty be listening, you know. I feel so bad for your teddy. I do, I do, but my lower back, my lower back hurt worse than they do. It you get somebody else to do it. What's the what's the worst thing you've done to try and get somebody to not sit next to you on the Southwest flight? Open up a whole thing, a fish like if you open up like wait, like shrimp, have you done that? I just got back

from New Orleans. Came armed with a poeboy. Yes, very funny, but I imagine on that flight, like the passion, like hmmm oh yeah, probably yeah, yeah, yeah. One time, like in Vegas, I would do the thing where I looked like I was so hungover I was basically going to vomit on whoever sat next to me. Like I would be like I would be like this from my eyes like open and I'm like that's actually really smart. Yeah, and then people see you and they're like the fuck

non can you please move me to a different seat? Yeah? I remember one time like it was and this works sleep on white people, I should say, but on the plan, on the plan, I just try to look as threatening as a black person as I can. Not gonna lie. I remember one time I was rapping for whatever reason, like I just didn't want nobody to say to me. I was mean mugging motherfuckers, and I was rapping. What these bitches want from the way, I'm afraid to sit

next to that black man. I mean, listen, the person who sat next to me was another black person. It was like, I don't give a fuck, nig I'm sitting here right, I ain't scared of you. But it worked for at least like fifty percent of like the people who walked past, until somebody came right, fucking dude, I like that, someone's like doing the ad libs to you. Somebody let me know. That was Sabrina, Oh yeah, Lashan and Alicia, Teresa, Monica, Sherry, Nikki Lisa for running about

carry gims. About three yeah, man, about three kims? Is that's what this show is grated? Actually about three kims? Moving on, Doctor John Paul Higgins, what if something you think is overrated? You know? So I tweeted this the other day and I said, actually, a lot of these ideas are things that I tweet But I said, the people who keep screaming, let's get to the bread, Let's get to the bread. Nigga. I want to be Paleo, Like, I am done with getting to the bread. I don't

want any bread. This constant having to work every day to survive and a capitalist state is ghetto. Like I'm just really really tired, Like and I stay tired in this. It's like, I know I'm blessed. Yes, money's coming in. I'm able to do what I want to do. I'm able to eat where I want to eat. I could put cheese on my burger. But some days you just wake up and you're like, God, I gotta do this all over again. Like it just it becomes a lot. So get into the brand culture, this whole notion of

like we got to get to the bag. Everybody wants a LLC and and you know what, if I could take a quick minute, let's talk about this LLC culture. I just did my taxes. Yeah, oh god, my god, God God, I've done. I'm still mad about my taxes last year. Yeah. Put, I'm putting my m putting put my man, my accountant. I hope my account is not listening to this, because if he is, he I'm gonna just say it. Brut Yeah, I see all your emails. I'm ignoring the motherfuckers that I have a person who

a person who does my taxes. Her brother is an accountant and so they see my accounts and stuff. But they were just like yesterday when I did my taxes, they say, hey, you know we we went. We may want to move you over to too. What is it when you bump up from an LLC just to one above it escort because they're saying that I'm bringing in too much money now and LLC is not serving me.

But it just again, it's still very much like the idea of like having to keep an escort, because now that means, oh, you have to work harder to actually keep the money that you have set and coming in. So it's just makes me So it's let me let me tell you something. And again I want to I want to piggyback off of the blessings that you said

as well. You know, I realize I'm blessed. I know I'm about to say this shit and motherfucker's gonna be like you lucky as hell, bro, But like, let me just say, the first time you pay more more in taxes than you've ever made in a year before, yeah, hurts your fucking soul. It hurts your soul. I want these motherfuckers to leave us thousand theirs alone. Yes, all right, I don't give a fuck If I make one thousand to nine hundred and ninety nine, that leave me, Leave

me alone alone. My little money ain't doing nothing for you, right, And if you don't have kids, it's even worse. You have nothing. And it's like you have to have stuff to write off. So now I'm that person, like I used to be that girl, like, oh, I have the newest stuff because I like having the newest stuff, and people are like now I'm like, I'm buying stuff so I can write that shit off. Like do you really need a new ipat? No, But I'm gonna buy a new one so I can write it off. But I

need eight hundred off my taxes. Yeah, so here we go.

I'm at that place now. The other the other thing, the thing I think is really like, you know, fucked up though about like get the bad culture is that it incentivizes people to be less humane because you see people do some wild shit quote in the name of the bag, and in that process you actually alienate yourself, burn bridges and shit, and really you end up with just maybe that one bag you were chasing because along the way there you kind of you were too focused.

So yeah, we always talk about that, you know, fuck fuck the get how do I get lambo? Cold? Yeah? How do I get lambo? I was gonna say that. I was also gonna add to how do we get lambo? Yes, but I was also gonna say overnight oats They nasty. People talk about overnight oats and I don't want nothing to do. What is that shit? People putting oat like oats and water and stuff in the fridge with yogurt and now that it's nasty. I didn't drink it. The

next morning? Did they eat it? I saw it at Trader Joe's, like in the refrigerated case, and I thought, shit, I mean not that like I thought they were selling ship. But I was like, what is I was like, no, I don't know. I've been out of the game too long. Stick with McDonald's breakfast please, and then, man, give me a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and a magritle and a hash brown. I'm go ahead to eat your oaks.

We all gonna die. What this is? Again? Thinking of this, I should have said this that's a favorite tweet once, but one of the tweets that made me laugh so hard, like three weeks ago, it was like, this is fucked up and it's so funny. But like everybody out here always trying to commit suicide, be patient, You're gonna die, so patient, patient, black Twitter, man, black Twitter against you every time. Finally, finally, finally, doctor j P. Yes, what

is something you think is underrated? Yeah? So minding your business. So I tweeted this yesterday because as I was leaving my tax location. So I will say, so, I really want our listeners to understand that I came before I make this statement. I want you all to understand who I am or where I come from before I make In college, I used to drive a car that did not have AC or heat, and so it was a nineteen ninety one miles to Protege, and so for so

long I had a very very beat up car throughout college. Now, in my you know, my doctor era, in my speaking era, my podcast era, I just recently bought my first luxury car. So I have Alexis And I was walking out to my car yesterday from the tax place, and this white man stopped me and said what are you doing? Like he rolled his wing. He literally rolled his window down and said what are you doing? As I was getting into my car, and I turned around without even thinking,

and I said, mine in my black ass business. And I got in the car and drove away. And so I think it's important for me to say what's underrated these days, especially when you don't know if people are carrying, if you don't know what type of day people have had. You know, there's already so much going on in the world. Mind your business that is paying you, sir, Like, ain't nobody worried about you and your Nissan Pathfinder drive on? Like that literally is what what bothers me? So that

that's my underrated thing. Mind in the business that pays you. Yeah, that's underrated in a long time, Mind your fucking business. You'll actually you'll live longer by doing it. You do, don't you? You know you well you're not. I mean look in the sense that, hey, you probably won't encounter somebody who is ready to give you smoke in the way you might not be ready for it. But also in the way that you are conserving your energy your life force for shit that matters rather than being all

up and people's shit. Let me tell you. I can hear a sound outside and my husband he's white, and so he's real quick to jump up what's going on out there. And I'm like, babe, don't do that, like it has nothing to do with us. Like, let me say it is you is your husband white? He is yours? Okay? See that's yeah. I seriously. I was. I was driving. I was driving like somewhere a couple of days ago, and there was this dog on the street, clearly a dog that was lost. And I was with a friend

and she was like, oh, we gotta, we gotta. I was like, that ain't my damn business. That dog got out of my business. That should That's gonna add time to my day. I hope that dog is taken care of. Somebody will get somebody take care of that dog. Yeah. You know, something similar happened in my neighborhood too, And I was driving and this dog was like smart enough to not be in the road but look lost on the sidewalk, and her matches was pull over, pull over.

I said, somebody in a fleece vest is gonna find this dog and look at the tag and do the work. For us, trust me, we have to keep going. We are late for this appointment to get this birth certificate. Oh yeah, said vest What is it? What is that bread? It's not what is it pagonia? Probably maybe someone, somebody,

somebody gonna come get this dog. Ain't gotta be me. Yeah, but I know, for me, I'm like, no, yeah, all right, we're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna be right back to talk about the news, which unfortunately doesn't have to do with stray dogs, but just a very thirsty media right after this and we're back, and I just wanted to touch because this week, you know, Donald Trump turned himself in on Tuesday, or you know, was

had his arraignment on Tuesday. It was the best things we're seeing the picture of him in the courtroom where he looked like completely out of place, like in the sense that he could tell he's like, I've never had to be told what to do like this before, and it was like uncomfortable. That was fine. We already knew what the deal was with this trial because we've been

talking about it for I feel like years now. But you know, the whole overall vibe over here regarding the Trump indictment has basically been wake me up when there's some kind of guilty verdict or tangible consequences other than that, do not waste my time or start writing stories where like the headline seems like you're giving me some new

information and you're just regurgitating things we already know. So I think that this is a tremendous disconnect right now between like what people are actually giving a fuck about and what the media is trying to put on you know, everybody's plate right now, which is, you know, this pretty normal in general. But for example, right on Twitter, people barely made a fuss about this arrangement or the press conference he did after, even though like potentially there could

have been news. I didn't even watch the press conference because I figured he's not it's gonna be some version of saying some racist shit and then being anti Semitic by throwing in some George Soros reference or some shit like that. The lack of buzz on the bird app is definitely a combination of Elon's fuckery and like just the destruction of the curation team that was there, that was curating news on there, that like allowed it to

be a place where people were sharing information. Plus you had a lot of people like leave the site because of all the fucking racism that goes unchecked. And not to mention, now blue check marks are like now meaningless, So who the fuck knows who is an actual journalist and who's just like a board want to be So analysts were looking at the tweets during this his court appearance and it wasn't It was barely a trickle, right, And they what they're saying is compare that to when

Trump got COVID in twenty twenty. The whole fucking site turned into people doing Ganay and Paul Bearer memes and all kinds of fucking weird shit like it was so there was so much energy. I feel like everybody who was on tip Twitter definitely remembers when Trump got COVID because it was so Now now nobody gives a fuck about this. It's like, yeah, whatever, because at this point, I think there's just no appetite for him because he's not you know, he's not the president and now he's

a citizen. But you know, if anything, we're just only interested at least I'll speak personally, and I think most people who are like minded only interested in the just if there's the remote possibility of some kind of punishment. That's the only reason at this point we check in, because like, is he gonna finally know? Okay, don't wake

me up when it happens. So despite all that, the media cannot kick their addiction to Trump, Like, ever since he said he might get arrested, all the focus has been on what might happen, what the charges might be, what could this possibly be about, even though we know what the grand jury, what the grand jury wasn't paneled for, and like we heard about the people that were testifying. We're like, yeah, it's gonna be with the Stormy Daniels

cover up. We know that. But again they found a way to stretch all of this out and CNN and MSNBC they figured they could just say the same few sentences over and over for a few days and make it look like coverage and like this is in the midst of our gun violence epidemic, inflation, stagnant wages, you know, shit people actually care about that needs to be informed on. And CNN and they spent a good long time just talking about all the doors in the courthouse. They're like,

there's a lot of doors. You know, we don't know which door he might come through. And they're like, yeah, it's really interesting to think because there's a I've been to this building before, there's a and you're like, what the fuck are y'all talking about there to talk about? I mean, right, if we live in if we we live in an error right now, where it's just it's a known fact that news is sensationalized, right, News for

the most part has become entertainment. Now, with that being said, if that's the way news is gonna go, if it's about entertainment, then if you want to keep people's interests, you gotta give us something besides the same fucking episode every goddamn day, right, Like that's just if this is

where news is. We want entertainment, we want something new, right like or we need a news story, we need another oj we need something, we need like we need somebody chasing the Broncos something like something, because like, otherwise you are going to get people. People are tired, which

is a good thing. However, the bad part of that is, like you said before, we have a lot of twenty sixteen, a lot of people aren't paying attention, right, They just tune everything out because like nothing is important anymore because it's the same shit. But it you know, and so it's just a it's a it's a snake in his own head, right, It's an endless fucking cycle exactly. Unfortunately, you know, it's the time we live in. But I'm gonna say something controversial. I hope this motherfucker get the

Republican nomination. It's a guaranteed loss. Well here's here's the problem though, right when you look at so one of our past guests, aiming ismile, he went to the courthouse on Tuesday because he does a lot of like coverage and all things magod like, he was there on January sixth.

So he went to the courtroom and he was saying, as a media personality, as a partisan journalist, not participating, this motherfucker is a legit, let's be clear, past king, you know, yeah, yeah, so you know, he so he went and he was basically saying that there were more members of the media there than there were protesters, and anytime someone in a MAGA hat walked by the reporters, they would swarm and try and get a quote. And

you know, they're like they're when I think this. When there were more people present from the media than actual protesters, it shows who cares more, and at that point, the story is not about a clash between protesters. It should be about the media, who was like, damn, it's just all us, huh, that's kind of I mean, normally we would be outnumbered by the magnitude of the event because

we think there's all this hubbub going to happen. Obviously they want to cover the stuff that's happening in the courthouse as well, but it's just, you know, it's like, you have they not learned anything from twenty sixteen, Like in the post mortem of that election, everyone was like, yeah, man, we gave that dude way too much oxygen and basically like three billion dollars in free advertising because he was getting name checked every five seconds, and they're making the

same mistake. And to your point, too, chick, He's like, you know, it's because it you know, the corporate media, mainstream media is there to uphold the status quo. You know, raising the specter of Trump is the easy way out for them and gives them an excuse from having to discuss the truly pressing issues in our country, like white supremacy, homophobia, gun control, police violence, student loan debt, medical cost s,

affordable housing, on house people. I can keep going, right, but you want to spend fucking eighteen hours just being like the doors, the doors, the doors, And you know it's doing people who actually go there for the news a tremendous disservice. Although you know, I'd hope people will

diversify their news diets. But at the same time, like with to your point about twenty twenty four, it who like you can only imagine a thing where they they're like, oh, we got him this time, get put all this focus on him, and then suddenly we're like, we're talking about this dude way too much when he should just be an afterthought and it should just be we don't need a debate if this is a just arrest or not he broke the law, and if if we're keeping it

a buck with the legal system here, he has to account for it, right, But they wouldn't do this. If I can add, I'll say, I think the thing for me that I've been paying attention to when you talk about media not paying attention is if we can keep his kind of this notion of like if we can keep the will spinning enough around this individual, we really genuinely don't have to hold him or anyone who's doing

these crimes accountable. And I think that's been the biggest thing that I've been paying a lot of attention to of even how media covers all of this. It's like, we're not going to talk about the thing that he did that was in just We're just going to talk about the fact that he's in jail, where he's going, what he looks like, how he feels it. Just it's it seems like I don't know if any of you watch drag Race, but they're one of the queens. Her

tagline was look over there. That's what it feels like. It feels like a lot of like look over there, like don't don't pay attention to what's actually truly happening in this situation or even in our in our world or in our country. Just keep focusing over there on the media that's talking about what door he's coming through,

What door is he coming through? And the unfortunate The unfortunate thing too is you know, you brought up the fact that you know, Twitter isn't blowing up for this, right anymore, right, Miles, And I think like sometimes we forget at least I do. I can only speak for myself, but I would think some people would agree with this, that we are very much a part of what I like to call like the coastal elite, Like we are very much the bubble, like of the people who don't

really represent like the middle of the country quite often. Right, So we and the people who think like us, or the people who have the same like viewpoints or just in the same generation as us are probably not online or but there's a lot of motherfucker's in the middle of the country who are. And there's a lot of people in the middle of the country who are watching the CNNs and the ms NBC's and the Fox News and all these and this is where they get their

ship from. And unfortunately, with the media just giving him free press, those are the people that they are reaching, right, And when you and then like when you get you know, and you when you get like bombarded with the same shit like it, are we treating him unfair? Right? Even like because that's all there, that's all they hear, right, and they go on Twitter, Like if you go on Twitter right now, you can still find a bunch of Trump shit, but it's not the same people the four

fool we're talking about. Yeah, And what I mean to say is like, not that the interest is different, that the energy that he takes right like to your point that he filled he occupied such a space and the consciousness that the idea of him even being sick was

enough for people going it's going up. Now I'm saying what what I mean to really say, Like I'm not trying to say that this is like a you know, a Middle America versus at the you know, the city's type of thing, but that essentially like they're doing just generally people disservice when it's clear that the narrative like that as it should be is this guy's a citizen. He broke the law. It is what it is. We don't need to cover it like he's the president right

now and be like where's this jet at? Oh, it's a helicopter. It just landed a Trump tower. That play by play is just again it's doing everybody a disservice. And I really it bothers me because Yeah, and I'm saying like, at a time when you have people like they're passing bills, or they're saying we're gonna check inside little kids underwear to look at their genitals before they complete and compete in sports. We're not talk like that,

what the fuck? Like that's that's the ship that is really going to affect people, not where the fuck did his helicopter land? And while all that happens, you know, they've continued to obscure like the actual issues that are happening. So anyway, let's move on though, because I want to

talk about this Vanity Fair piece about Candisons. Now. I'm glad this show is very black today because this disgrace of a human who deploys her identity as a black woman in service of fascism and white supremacy is in Vanity Fair, And unlike the sixty minutes piece on Marjorie Taylor Green, this profile reads a little bit more like here's all the fucked up shit this person's talking about. Like it's pretty pretty just laying out the facts of

who this person is. It's interesting to read like I had no idea she was an intern at Vogue previously, and that she was like a powerhouse intern there that when they like asked for a comment for people that worked with her at Vogue. They were all like, oh, she was like she was very impressive, Like she her ability to like work was very like your detail focused

blah blah blah blah blah. Apparently she left an impression on a lot of people, and they felt like she wasn't a fit for Vogue and just kind of seemed like someone who was like just back to themselves all the time to you know, sort of get where they

were going to go. Then, you know, you read also about this other stuff how she has basically has come into contact with or you know, she's basically been on the receiving end of a lot of racial abuse, like a like a like a wild ass voicemail was left to her by like a like the son the son

of the mayor of the town she lived in. It became like this whole controversy when she was a teenager, and all this other stuff and then her you know, her slow pivot to the to the right side of things, and just so people remember, these are the kinds of things when she talks about, like, you know, because she is one of these people who uses her blackness to tear down like any kind of progress or black or the idea of black liberation she has. She says stuff

like this quote. I have to keep reminding you that I don't want to be part of this culture. I want to destroy it. I want to destroy it further than it's already destroyed itself. I want to go backward. Your idea of progressivism is clearly regressive. This is a new plantation. This was when she was on that whole Democrats are always you know they I mean, let's be real, I mean, they are taking advantage of the black vote.

But the idea that this is somehow that the things that black people are trying to achieve, that that is something that needs to be destroyed. I think we can all realize how fucking observed that is. So the other thing we learned is she's like chauffeur daily to the Daily Wire studios with a bodyguard and he has like her assistant. And she was like very self conscious like about how this profile was being written, because she would always tell the writer, Emily Jane Fox, to put certain

quotes in, like how she's like a trad wife. She was asking the writer like, do you know what a trad wife is? And you know, for people, people who don't know, it's like traditional wife about these like, you know, women falling into traditional roles like and doing everything for the men because that's a better lane for women to be in. And it's you know, online, it's become a whole thing. And so there's this. This is the quote from the piece about her being a trad wife. Quote, God,

how unhip am I? Yeah, I'm a trad wife. Put that in there, she instructs me, And tell them I came up with it. I'm really traditional. I believe the men lead. So she's always saying put that in there. Yeah, and tell them this part. And I like that the writer is like actually putting all these things. They're like, hey, tell them. I said that also, And then she also was like, I really want people to know that I'm kind. Can you put that in there too? This is another

This is another quote from the article. It says, quote, that's the one thing she thinks people most often misunderstand about her. She said, quote, I take my work very seriously, and I'm very kind to people. And I wish that if I could wish something into the narrative, it would be that people knew how kind I was. Put that in there. Sure that the media has been really successful at hardening me. Put that in there. Yeah, sure, I'm sure.

I'm sure Hitler gave somebody a hug. Wants to right. Yeah, like, and every every terrible person could be kind. Here's here's the thing we can't to sell in outside of her just being a coon. But like it, Um, it's sad, man, It's sad because it's uh, it's very funny, but it's it's so sad because like I I don't maybe she does realize it, but like she's a sad part of this. The sad part of this is this is a product of white supremacy, and this is this a Candice Owen.

How we get a Candice own is from the deepest parts of white supremacy and racism. But you can, I can,

I interject, I'm not trying to cut you off. But I also say, something tells me, and I'm making an assumption here, but something tells me when I meet people like her who seems to always have something really terrible to say about black people, about black culture, I believe that somewhere in her life she had issues with other black women or black people, and now that she's in a position of quote unquote, and I'm putting quotations around

power because what does that mean for her? Right she is now that that vitriol that she carries in her it's just a reflection of something that she has yet to get therapy around. That's what I see, retime, because it is because she's latched on to the easiest thing to latch onto with hating black people, which is based

in being racist and supremacy and whiteness. Because like, let's be real, we all if I if I became a caddis on because of all the people that I used to roast me when I was a kid that was all black. Bol you got roasted, get me, you got roasted, Jonathan, you got roasted, We got roasted. We got like, yeah I was, I was fucking Jackie to black people. Yeah shit. And and you want to know the funny thing. The funny thing, a white kid who went to school with a bunch of white kids also was roasted by all

his white friends. Like you you are roasted by the people you grow up around. Yeah you, it happens, right, I say that, like she reminds me of Clarence Thomas, because hey, check out the behind the Bastards episode on Clarence Thomas that I did with Robert It's fantastic. I

learned so much. But it's interesting too how he you know, he grew up in a place where a lot of black people were giving him flack for whatever, and he always felt that he just didn't belong because he was an outsider, and that slowly turned, that slowly disconnected him from his community and from his own blackness. That it just it just made him an uncle record when Yeah,

one day, it just just a switch was hit. And in this piece she talks about something similar because she like, when she was younger, she did really well in school, and she resented the fact that like black kids were calling her white because she was doing well in school. And she was saying like, and she was phrasing in a way where she's like, why do I have to why can't I be Why can't I just do well in school and not be have to be teased or say I'm not being black enough or whatever? And I

get that that's true. That's a very good thing. Yeah, So you know, if you know what I meantimes, I've been called Wayne Brady, like you know, or Carlton. Yeah, it's one of these things where for her then I think she just found comfort in realizing that when she used her like mouth in service of these like terrible white supremacist takes and regressive takes, they she suddenly got

a lot more. She probably found community a lot quicker doing that, because people were very cynical and we're like, yes, we can use this, we can use this in service of our end game. And you know, now she's doing her ship on the daily wire. I will add this though, because I love this because even though you might have a little bit of money and you think you're popping in Nashville, Tennessee, there are still people who absolutely won't

fuck with you because they know who you are. So one of the unsung heroes of this piece is an interior designer named David Netto and Owens and her husband, who is the CEO of Parlor mind you that you know the fucking fash Twitter, saw some of his work at a friend's house, so her husband reached out to to potentially have David Netto work with them, and this is the response that David Netto sent to her husband, quote,

dear George, thank you for your inquiry. I'd rather get beaten the ass with a wooden plank than ever go near either of you kind regards David so. Owens then goes on to say if a white conservative male had written that email to an outspoken black liberal, he would have lost everything. They would have said. It was like Jim Crow. Then Netto said when they like, when they said, do you have anything to say about her comment? He said, basically because he was like, I'm talking to her husband

who's white. I'm also a white guy. He said, this has nothing to do with race. It's a terrorism slash amorality thing. And he said, after January six, the joke's over. People like this should expect to be recognized as complicit with something very dangerous and I don't mean Kanye, and expect to be told off in polite society. So yeah, you know, I had to smoke for them. And they're terribly designed home. So can I add? She so she

went under someone had something. So I saw this on Twitter last night and she had tweeted I hate when people meet hate with hate like that. That's never gonna solve anything. And I retweet it and I said, girl, you know why people hate you? Like, let's not play this game here, you you understand completely why everybody and their mama hate you. So she she's good at gas lighting. Yeah, hate with hate. Yeah, so you hate out of the equation.

Yeah right, Oh so you admit it, you represent hate, admitted, Okay, she admitted. Yeah, but that's why I know. I know I'm hateful, but that does not mean yet with hate towards me wild It's again, it's the mental gymnastics you have to go through. And at the end of the piece, they kind of mentioned like people who are this charismatic tend to fall into this thing where they back themselves so hard they don't even know what they're saying, but they know that it's working and it doesn't matter to

them at that point because they see the results. And then they're just so disconnected from what it means and they're like, I don't know, I'm getting chaufferred everywhere, I'm getting fluid out, I have channel bags, i have a home, I'm gonna have all these kids, blah blah blah. And I think at that point she's completely succumbed to that or I don't know, I don't even give a fuck.

But if the same thing can be said about Christian Walker too, right, Like didn't we see the same thing happened to him when he was going up against and saying and doing a lot of the same stuff. The same people backed him and was giving him money, giving him opportunities so to meet. There's something to be said about black people who basically sell their identity down the river in order for them to make a check, like

or to make a bug. I mean, there's another part of it, too, right, because racism is so fucking horrifying and violent. At a certain point you may begin just it becomes like a Stockholm syndrome, same thing where you're like, you know what if I put this cap on, they don't fuck with me. Yeah, And that's somehow that's easier for me to reckon with all that to say, Candaeon's your house still looks like shit. It probably looks like it is. It is. It's a very it's a It

boils down to one simple thing. For me, whenever I see a black person or a person of color who aligns themselves with a group or a culture that is an opposition of their own identity and culture, it boils down to one thing. It's self hate. Like it's self hate,

you know, in terms, that's literally all it is. And yeah, right and and and and even with her saying like or you said like, she's mentioned how people used to make fun of her, and then then you learned how you learn to like hate yourself and hate and you And what's the first thing that is visible to most people yourself is your race, your culture, right, and so like you learn to hate that, and it's it's all self hate, which is and you know nothing can do

about that, which is why one of my favorite characters of all time is Sam Jackson's character and and fucking Jango because it is the true pity me. It is such a funny character and it is so that is exactly how like some of these black people will be looking right Leonardo, So I tried to shoot him. I was done, Jangore, we gonna get you nigga, nigga down because I've not seen that movie so long, but that seen lives in my head. Red Free, we get to Nigga.

We're probably gonna get canceled for saying it and words so much. I'm sorry, y'all, but it's funny. Who's gonna check? Yeh. But niggas with twin black people call the black people. I know, I'm totally taking this off off so for you upening nigga, And it's like with the energy of that Sam Jackson intensity that just gives it such a different quality too. That he had the big eye, Little white Beard. Oh, he was so pressed the greatest characters. Just before before we take a break, I just want

to touch on this uh sting p Diddy thing. So this was going around on Twitter and I had no idea about this. For millennials that were into hip hop, the death of Tupac and Biggie were earth shattering moments, okay, and in the case of Biggie, it was also the

moment that made Diddy a certified star. He went from background dancer slash producer, set slash ad libber slash you know, banger of empty bottles babb Yeah, to take that take that we all know that too, basically the face of New York hip hop in the Bling Bling era, and

it was like a meteoric rise for him. And in the wake of Biggie's death, there were many tributes, but the nineteen ninety seven hit I'll Be Missing You with Faith Evans in one twelve is the most memorable, okay, And it contains a sample of Stings every breath you take, which probably made it very easy for people to bop too, because you know it's like, oh, you already know this song. Yeah yeah, yeah. Plus now we got a you know, Diddy and Faith Evans in one twelve. We love it.

I mean, the sample is pretty much the whole engine of the song. And sampling and hip hop has been been a pretty contentious issue because a lot of producers used to not clear samples before, you know, putting an album out, and it would cause issues and a lot of people are like, oh my god, you made all this money off of my like obscure like soul album or whatever, and it, you know, became a bit of

a problem. And this is one of those cases. So I guess a few years ago, Sting went on The Breakfast Club and said that because Diddy never got permission to use that sample, he is now being paid around two thousand dollars a day by Diddy. I ready, and then yes, then Diddy quote tweeted and said, correction, it's more like five thousand dollars per day if you do the math on five thousand dollars per day from when that single came out. You were we're looking at being

north of like forty eight million dollars. Yeah, wow, And I can't believe that. But here's the thing's catalog of music, of the songs he's written. Stuff is very valuable. He recently sold like, I think a bulk of his publishing rights to Universal for around and estimated three hundred and fifty million dollars, So those checks might actually be going

to Universal now, but I'm still like gobsmacked. And there was also that Juice World track that sampled Shape of My Heart and he also he's he's he sees like eighty percent of those royalties and the producer was like, that's not fair, and it's like it was an interpolation. You're like, it's okay either way. We know what song you are, what you are going, you know, trying to replicate or using it. Yeah, one hundred and fifty five

thousand dollars bill every month. Yeah, Yeah, that's insane for a song for a song that now we hear maybe what two times a year. Yeah, at the time it was at the top of the chart weeks. Yeah, at the time, it was yeah, that's just been scale when it's at his most popular five thousand right now, two hundred and fifty dollars bro not even about like twenty six bucks, you know what I mean? Yeah, about this

to McDonald's, about this thing. How about this thing? If you hear it on the radio, plan call me and I'll send you five k right. If you don't call me, don't call me. And another thing that's sting would be on a radio every day, turning dial, turning the dial. Yeah, oh now, sh dad, what are you doing? That's not that's mine too, but I think it should be noted. You know a lot of artists that have worked with him at Bad Boy in the past, they say, you know,

he's janking. I believe it, you know, did he you know? They say, oh yeah, we'll get this, and then he owned everything. So in a way, a lot of people like, maybe are you using Who's who's really paying for this? Who is it? Other artists? Royalties? Anyway, just something to consider. But also he's saying he cheat, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean this dude made this dude made remember making the band when he made them walk to Brooklyn and

go getting them the Junior's cheesecake. Yeah good Junior. Yeah. When he had the man singing like are they were singing and fighting and battling with each other with vocals, I knew something once up, I said, this man is weird. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about new Easter traditions right after this. And we're back, and y'all, did anybody have easter plans? Anybody really didn't know it was easter? Bro I didn't realize.

Just no, Target's gonna be closed. FYI. Target closes on East. Target is closed. It is hard way, no, honey. I've known that since like twenty fifteen. Quick story. I think I needed like hair products or something, and I it was like Eastern. IM was going somewhere. I'm maybe going to an event and I said, I'll just stop the Target to get it. And it was closed. So, yes, this Target is closed to water. Wow? What what? Because they they respect? Hey, he has risen you know what

I mean? Now, Look, if I was working at Target, I'll be like, hell, yeah, we closed that easter. But as a consumer, as a consumer, you better be open. Twenty four fucking seven. I don't get earlier this year, right, I don't know if the egg prices were fucking ridiculous, like you couldn't believe, like, you know, cart a dozen would be going for like nine bucks or something fucking over ten bucks. Some places we had to we had to save all our money for Beyonce tickets. Man, it

was yeah, that's true. You going, are are y'all going? I'm going twice? Yes, you're going to birthday show. I'm going to the birthday show. I'm going to the Houston Show, and I'm going to Oh that's gonna be tight, tight see the Houston Show on her birthday show. I feel like I're gonna be fucking yeah. You know, the one I wanted to go to besides the birthday show was the one in New Orleans. Yeah, you know, yeah, that energy is going to be great. Sperducer Becca is gonna

be tight. Superducer Becca Roundmost in the chat, Jonathan, we gotta link up because I think you know, you know, yeah, I am alright, link up, link up. You know it's going down. I remember I even had like a red and black flannel tied around my waist and I was trying to get my hips going to ship in the mirror, like the video anyway, flawless right around that, Ye run around that flowless anyway. Uh back to the other savior

not Beyonce, Jesus Christ obviously anyway. So because of the egg prices were so high, people were like making jokes on the internet about being like, man with the egg prices this year, y'all gonna be make I'm gonna have a fucking Easter potato. I might as well be painting because I'm not gonna waste my money on an egg. And the fucking like Potato Lobby, like their industry group apparently just thought They're like, oh shit, that's a campaign

right there. And Potatoes USA, which is the name of like Big I guess the real name of Big Potato. They're now like actively trying to promote this, like they have been all kinds of little ads being like, yeah,

this is fantastic. Their argument is that, hey, potatoes aren't as fragile, you know as eggs, you know, and also like potatoes are way easier for kids to hold than eggs, so you know there's that, which I get that, sure maybe, but yeah, like egg prices have already come down in price somewhat since those memes hit and now people are like, Okay,

I think you missed this. But what's funny is over at Fox when they saw this, they took this as like an opportunity to make it about how Joe Biden is trying to destroy Easter all because the potato people are like, hey, why don't you try a fucking Easter potato. The lower third, like on Jesse Water Show, said say hello to your new Easter bunny. And it's like a picture of like a potato with like a top hat

on and a cane like the monopoly man. And then this will then Jesse Waters talking to fucking cultural culture critic Adam Corolla and on the lower third it says they're the Chiron when they're talking, says, Dems want you to paint potatoes. Calm the fuck on, I don't look. I'll always like an egg. I've never I've actually never painted a real egg. That's you never taught you never died an egg? I think once and oh you know, oh whoa, whoa, whoa. I just had to I just

had I just remember when it happened. I was like six years old, and my grandma and grandpa they were like, you know, they're Christian, they want to, you know, really make sure. We were getting all turned up for Easter and got those like old dye kids. You know where you dunk the egg? I remember spilt how all the I spilt all that die on, like on like my grandmother's table cloth or something. And she was like never, She's like, she's a very she was a very neat woman.

Let me tell you she was. She was like Jesus could have stayed dead for this. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I'm real talk. I mean like she had those parts of the house where I was like, you ain't sitting in there. I'm like, yeah, no, yeah, I know that. I know that. I never thought so. And then after that, I remember we wasn't painting eggs there anymore. And she got the plastic one. She got plastic ones. She's liken y'all put the stickers on these plastic ones this year.

So yeah, oh god, you can't even get a real yolk no more because you spilled. No. No, I stopped doing it because I grew up. But Joa was witnessed and so we weren't allowed to paint them. But the first year that I did get to paint them. I ate too many of them. Make up sick because I was like literally like nine or two, and I was like, yeah, same thing. Eggs delicious, I swear, I swear Easter eggs tastes different with that die die that die seep in

just moving through yea and permeates the the actual egg. Yeah, so good eating eating food coloring. I used to love I used to love listen. I used to love Easter. Shit. I grew up in a very Christian household as well, so Easter was, you know, basically a second Christmas as far as importance goes. And we used to die to eggs, get the Easter baskets due to Easter hunts, go to church for seventy two hours. Like we did all of it, man,

we did all of it. How old are you? Like, how old are you within the like your generation of kids in your family, like the oldest? Are you a younger me? I'm neil. I'm well. I grew up an only child until I got stepbrothers when I was like fourteen, So but I grew up in a house full of people.

So yeah your stuff, like yeah yeah, so with like all in so it was like a bunch of cousins, and so within that hierarchy, I was probably like the second tier as far as age goes, for all the people who are always around each other that weren't painting right right right, yeah, like yeah, yeah, so I was

like the second tier of folks. I'm like, I was the oldest in my family in the way when my grandparents would let us loose in the backyard or start looking for eggs, and I was snatching them the fuck up like my younger cousins who were like barely walking and show. I'm like, keep the funk out my way. I'm getting his egg. Remember I remember they were like, you need to stop, and I fucking got so mad because I was a kid and I couldn't fucking process why.

I'm like, but I can go faster than them, and that's why I should be a merri based egg search, and if you want, you should do a second tier eg search for the fucking the scrubs over here who have limited motor skills due to their young age. Anyway. Yeah, also listen, paint painting, A painting, A paint and a potato that should seem kind of fun. I wouldn't want to eat them after, but like, but there's a lot

you can do with it. You can paint it. It was like, yeah, I would have so much fun with that. It's not a perfect egg shape anyway, it is what it is. Hey, you know, celebrate however, you have to go bang on the door as a target and demand they let you in if you want, or maybe go to church for seventy two hours, do whatever you want to do, or you know, just fucking vibe out and sucking watch the rock on the fucking TNT because it's probably gonna be on knocked out exactly what to Becca say?

Becca Becca said, Once I went to school, I got in trouble, so my mom punished us by making my brother and I go to all the Easter services at our Catholic church by ourselves. Just dropped us off of the day. She might as well just put y'all off for adoption. That's that's terrible, man, terrible.

It's gonna be a fun show hanging out in New York. We're not going to sleep until four. Although I did that last night and I heavily regret it right now, but so yeah, do that Comedian field every month in Los Angeles, last Sunday of the month, it's gonna be It's always a good time. So out, it's a good time. Come out to that Grand crew.

Make sure y'all know watching it, Watch it, watch it. It's such a good show. I'm gonna be I think by episode is coming up in the next week or two, and then I'm gonna be on for multiple episodes this season. So excited for that work of art or work of social media, not a work of art. So all right, I got a couple. This is from Also very funny that yesterday I my tweet was from doctor Johnson here and I didn't even realize that. So listen, you know funny,

funny people. You know, the universe brings us together. It's a beautiful thing. There's this from Mickey Jan two three four. You guys know that meme of the black lady with like the long figuernails, the pink lipstick, the long haired searching a computer. And so it's that meme and the caption is ME tracking my package even though I just ordered it five minutes ago. And lord if I don't do that shit, well I that should be like the label creating yet yeah, man, the process goddamn order hasn't

even processed yet. But yes, I definitely want that. And then and then Trump facing thirty four fell in accounts that carry a one hundred and thirty six year max sentency, please knock you to to y'all tall accounts. David da Vinci I think wrote one hundred and thirty six years he fighted in a Rico boy. I got Rico charges as well. Some tweets I'm liking, ed Burmilla at ed bur Milla tweeted, you were just talking about the Chicago

Maryal race in the last episode. Tweeted like he's tweeted like seven cops will quit in Chicago, all age fifty six and with full pensions and jobs lined up in a suburb so they can double dip pensions when they're seventy and retiring to the villages. And in the next few months, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Wappo, et cetera will interview each one of them four hundred times, which feels about right. This cop left to the Chicago force when Brandon Johnson was elected. Now he owns nine

hundred lambeaus in Florida because his pension is lit. It is usually the thrust of that any other ones I had, Oh no, There's just a really interesting moment where Representative Justin Jones, who's a Tennessee state representative, you know, currently one of the Democrats that the GOP was, They like, they're trying to expel some of these Democratic representatives who I believe are I think all of them are black,

but correct me if I'm wrong. But for basically protesting the lack of gun legislation that is going through the state House at a time when they've just had a terrible shooting, and he just goes off on these people just talking about, oh, you want to expel me, let me talk about some people that have been in here. And I just want to play a little bit of this clip of you know, Representative justin Thomas's words, he's taken, He's taken a dramatic zip of water. Right now, let's

talk about expulsion. For years. One of your colleagues who with an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber, no expulsion. One member sits in this chamber who was bound guilty of domestic violence, no expulsion. We had a former speaker sits in this chamber who is now under federal investigation, no expulsion. We have a member still under federal investigation,

no expulsion. It goes on and on and on, and I think you know does a good job underscoring when the when the time comes to expel people from calling you out versus you know, covering for the homies. And yeah, we could do it a little bit less of that kind of coverage for each other, especially when we're trying to do shit like protect fucking kids and teachers and ship and they're just trying to work to school as well as just you know, numerous other people that you

know diet needlessly from gun violence. Anyway, check that out. You can find me at Miles of Gray on Twitter, Instagram.
