0:17
Um, what's up? This is Yozys Racist.
0:20
Uh, I, I have to do all
0:22
the intro stuff because, uh, Tati
0:24
isn't here and in her place is
0:28
okay. What is, what is the chain
0:30
of allyship for producer
0:32

0:33
Producers Zig, former producers, Zig, current
0:36
enemy of the show, previous friend of the
0:38
show, my cohost
0:42
on a different show where
0:44
we are friends on that show. Yeah. Enemies
0:47
on this show. Is that correct? Is that
0:49
the, yeah, we can't pin me down, baby. Like,
0:51
uh, I like, uh, I like, uh, like you
0:54
never know what I'm going to get. I can be like a little bit of this. I could
0:56
be a little stinker sometimes. You're a multi hyphenate.
0:59
Yeah. Multi hyphenate friend, enemy, friend,
1:01
enemy. Yeah.
1:03
So the rapport on, on the other show is
1:05
you guys are good friends. Yeah. It's much
1:08
more, much more inviting.
1:11
And it's full of tension and
1:13
terse conversation as it is in this one. How
1:15
did this all come about? We basically, we
1:17
have a earwolf presents mini
1:20
show. Yeah. Well, I can tell you the literal
1:22
way it came about. Month three of the
1:24
strike, we're like, we need money. What's an easy thing
1:26
that we could pitch and we pitched it. And then that
1:28
chicken didn't come home to roost until after the pandemic
1:31
or actual after the strike it ended. So
1:33
yeah, I still gotta fill
1:35
out my paperwork. Dude. You get, yeah, get
1:37
on that, man. But
1:42
that show preposterously,
1:44
no one gave
1:45
us any notes on the title of it, which yeah,
1:47
there was, there was little, no, there was literally
1:49
no, no process for the entire thing,
1:52
which I was very grateful for.
1:56
Yeah. They shouldn't have let us do that, but it is called,
1:59
I guess it's. technically full-name earwolf presents
2:02
do you understand the words that are
2:05
coming out of our mouth
2:11
And roll out the tongue it's
2:13
as easy to say yes it is to understand the premise
2:15
of the show Which
2:19
is that you watched three rush hour movies
2:21
and then a fourth do it was a show
2:23
Yeah, yeah, then and then we watched
2:26
you know actually if you're a subscriber to
2:29
our Premium show you'll know
2:31
what our fourth show fourth movie
2:34
it was but that's I sub off of pots
2:36
calm Yoko we live with
2:39
guests. I like this two plugs with this This
2:42
is we put a plug within a plug this we
2:44
incept it a different plug
2:47
and yes, but we also
2:49
Because if it were simply
2:51
if we were two white comedy
2:53
dudes We would simply be allowed to
2:56
do a movie podcast or
2:58
a food podcast But we of course
3:00
have to work twice as hard for I
3:03
can't even say half as much So
3:09
we we are also creating
3:13
black and Asian fusion dishes
3:16
you go along with our movie
3:19
watching experience of the we'll
3:21
say Well intentioned
3:24
but Eradically
3:26
executed
3:28
You know trilogy of films before
3:31
black and Asian people to get a
3:34
lot Yeah a lot of the jerks
3:36
are a lot I will say a lot of the jerks are
3:38
like isn't it crazy that black people or isn't
3:40
it crazy That Chinese people like that that's
3:42
a basis for a lot of the setups of the jokes for
3:45
these For the two sequels for these
3:47
movies at the same time
3:50
Go listen, I suppose if you want it's better
3:52
than I thought yeah, the movies are yeah, yeah, yeah,
3:54
yeah The podcast is way better than I thought
3:58
Yeah, the movies are
3:59
a little better than I thought it was gonna be. I was convinced
4:02
it was gonna be some of the most racist shit
4:04
that I've ever seen, but it was only
4:07
kind of racist. Pretty, yeah. Yeah, it was only pretty racist.
4:10
You know,
4:10
the thing that we didn't do
4:13
on that pod, we didn't compare it to
4:15
movies of the time. Oh
4:17
yeah, yeah. It's probably really good for
4:19
movies of the time. Yeah, I mean, what was
4:21
it, what was the first one, like 99? Or was it like
4:23
a 90-70 movie? I think grading on a curve,
4:26
we probably should have graded on a curve, but we didn't.
4:28
So, get our 2023 opinions about
4:31
the Rush Hour
4:32
movies and
4:34
one mystery movie that might have been promoted
4:37
somewhere that we don't know about, but you know.
4:40
And the first dish we did was a sort
4:42
of like
4:43
fusion-y potato salad. Oh
4:45
yeah, that was the first dish that we, in my
4:47
way, I mean, you cooked. The
4:49
first quote, I'm using dishes with quotation
4:52
points is that we ordered fried chicken from a Korean
4:55
place and from a black owned place, and then we
4:57
added some Mambo sauce from McDonald's.
5:00
Wow, that sounds amazing. It was fantastic,
5:02
yeah. It was really a fun night.
5:05
And our guests on that show, why are we doing a full plug
5:07
for this other show? Why not? It was Jamel
5:09
Johnson who was awesome. Yeah, and
5:12
we are, I guess, because
5:14
of this show, we should mention we're recording
5:16
a little early. We don't know what has happened
5:18
in the Middle East. You know, I
5:21
think an educated guest would be, it's not going
5:23
great. That's probably
5:25
held true for the last, you
5:27
know,
5:28
75 years, I believe. And also,
5:31
you know, obviously, as we talked about
5:33
last week, been difficult to
5:35
talk about it. I, of course, speaking
5:38
for myself only, but
5:41
yeah, I signed
5:43
the fucking petition. So if you're covered for
5:45
me, I guess you're covered for me. But
5:47
yeah, I am against what
5:49
is happening in Palestine
5:51
and Gaza. And,
5:54
you know, I probably could be doing more, but I
5:57
try to do something, trying to
5:59
do something. fucking know and
6:01
we don't know what's happening. It's a bigger
6:03
issue I suppose. So
6:07
that's all we got. So we're doing three voicemails
6:09
this week. I don't know but how are you doing otherwise, Zigg?
6:11
You know outside
6:13
of the world stuff going good.
6:16
I mean fine. I mean
6:18
I feel like Andrew
6:21
has maybe had a closer lens to like how crazy
6:23
my schedule has
6:25
been for the past month. I've just been doing
6:28
a lot of work. Unbelievable
6:31
numbers of comic pages. Yeah
6:33
a lot of I feel like I do a feature
6:35
every other week. I feel like I'm just writing that amount
6:38
of pages which is kind of crazy but you know it's
6:40
good. That's been a
6:43
nice I mean it's champagne problems but a nice.
6:45
What's coming out this
6:48
this week or the next couple weeks? Miles
6:51
Morales Spider-Man number 12 I think
6:54
comes out right in time to wrap up what's
6:56
going on and then I think oh
6:59
I think I have a Deadpool thing coming
7:01
out I think this month. I don't know when. Wow. But I think
7:03
I have. Watching the man lose
7:06
track of issue numbers. Well it's
7:08
funny you asked it because I so
7:11
there are 11 issues out as of this recording
7:14
and I've turned in issue 17 so
7:16
I'm already like six months ahead
7:18
of what's I'm sort of like if
7:21
you've read Watchmen another well-known.
7:23
Yeah. There's a bit where a character named Dr.
7:25
Manhattan is talking about like I'm on
7:27
Mars it's 1975 I'm dropping a piece of paper
7:30
like it's 24-20 wake in process time
7:33
at the same time and this is how I process
7:35
time like. Yeah. You know it's 2023 I'm
7:38
writing a comic book it's 2024 I have
7:40
a comic book coming out you know it's stacking
7:43
on top of itself but you know good place
7:45
to be. There are I was very
7:47
very lucky in that I
7:50
had income that was approved for the
7:52
during the strike
7:55
which a lot of people did not have. Yeah.
7:57
So that's that's been a plus. I have a question about. Usually
8:00
with the comic book writing, do you know
8:03
typically how many like comics
8:05
your how many issues you're gonna write
8:08
like does it impact
8:10
the storytelling or yeah
8:12
just like one at a time. Yeah,
8:15
so like usually like I know for miles I'm
8:17
doing at least 24 issues or something like
8:19
that. So like these will be divvied
8:22
up into like you're gonna do like a three issue or four
8:24
issue or four issue or two issue or so like that's cool.
8:26
Another thing that's coming out now will be wrapping up a three issue
8:28
arc that I just did and
8:31
the number seven like the other four that
8:33
I've done or four issue arc. So
8:36
yeah
8:37
like it helps with that way but yeah
8:39
I think at any given time I'm as of right now
8:41
I'm probably writing two to three books
8:43
at the same time it's kind of crazy. Wow that
8:46
feels nuts I can't even I can't
8:48
even imagine. Wait
8:50
and is there any listeners
8:53
in Michigan? Oh yeah
8:55
at some point I'll
8:58
be in Detroit November
9:02
10th through the 12th for Motor City
9:04
Comic Con which Andrew I need you to send
9:06

9:09
I have no I don't know how long
9:11
how long they're gonna keep me there like during the day but
9:13
if I have like
9:15
you know
9:16
pockets of windows open be cool like check out the
9:18
city a little bit. So send me some like
9:20

9:22
you're gonna
9:23
yeah Detroit's finest it's
9:26

9:28
couple buddies there that I think I'll show you around easily
9:31
could have done this off mic. We did hey well we're
9:33
catching up. It's in the pocket you heard it you just heard all of
9:35
that. So yeah fine fine zig
9:38
in Detroit if you're around. I
9:40
have never is where's Motor City Comic Con being held?
9:43
I don't know I look
9:45
at but there's like a piece of paper they said they said
9:47
like where was happening but I don't remember
9:50
they like convention sitter. Yeah
9:52
suburban collection show place. I was
9:55
gonna say is it at Cobo Hall and
9:57
then I was like I'm 99% sure Cobo
9:59
Hall was torn
9:59
out it like
10:02
that. I think that's where it's gonna
10:04
be at. Just my favorite
10:06
thing that I'm,
10:07
I don't know why this wouldn't exist. And
10:10
I think I've shown you a photograph of this before but
10:13
in Detroit, I think it's
10:15
in Detroit proper, but
10:18
there is a one
10:20
of the world's wildest piece of public
10:23
art,
10:24
which is a, is that hand that you always
10:26
talk about? Yeah. Of
10:29
just famous boxer
10:31
Joe Louis is forearm only,
10:34
forearm and fist. So it's,
10:37
I don't know. I remember when it was a kid,
10:39
it like seemed like it was like
10:41
fucking like 50 feet long. It
10:43
can't be. Wow.
10:45
That's goals, Andrew. I want to see like your
10:47
ear as a statue for like, I
10:50
know legend monument
10:52
monument to Joe Louis. Yeah.
10:55
It's on Jefferson and Woodward. And
10:57
it is how big is it? Okay, it is
10:59
his forearm 24 feet by 11.5 by 24. That can't be
11:01
that must include like the
11:07
base 24 feet. Let's
11:09
fucking do that.
11:11
There's like cars driving under it. No,
11:14
it's just like a it's like in the median,
11:17
but it's just like,
11:18
like
11:20
the wildest piece
11:23
of specific art. Yeah, this
11:25
is like, this is like when you're using,
11:27
when the superhero uses their super plan. Yeah,
11:31
it's just like, and it's
11:33
just like a such a specific like
11:36
piece. I mean, yeah, the man was a boxer.
11:38
So I get it. But also,
11:41
you don't approve.
11:42
Well, no, I do approve. It's just, I just
11:45
imagine the meeting
11:45
where just like the whole room
11:47
had to be like having heard the pitch for
11:50
the statue. Everyone
11:52
had to just be waiting to say like, who
11:55
is going to be the first one to say like, but what
11:57
about just like a regular statue? Yeah. Like
12:01
yeah, here's what we're gonna do. We don't take all this bronze
12:03
or copper whatever the fuck it's made out of It
12:06
makes just one fist I
12:09
mean it was commissioned by Sports Illustrated.
12:11
So in the 80s, this is
12:13
all kind of tracking for me. I Love
12:17
it. I love it so much. It was
12:19
my like Favorite
12:21
the more I look at the more I get into it. Yeah,
12:23
this is definitely like a Tony Hawk Pro skater
12:26
Like if you do grind down it
12:28
you actually an additional character
12:31
Cuz it's so yeah, you unlock Joe Lewis
12:34
Go around punch it everything Or
12:37
just no, no, it's just the
12:39
fist. Yeah standing horizontally
12:42
Yeah, and like the knuckles have like a little face
12:44
on it And there's maybe like two tiny
12:46
feet growing out of the where the elbow would be
12:48
and yeah thing can skate. Yes
12:52
Yeah, yeah, it's sort of like the famous happy
12:54
foot sad foot from Los Angeles
12:56
fame I'm pitching this as DLC for
12:58
the next Tony Hawk game. Hey, you gotta
13:00
do it. Gotta fucking do it. Um
13:03
Alright, she's a voicemail. Yeah,
13:06
let's do a voicemail.
13:07
Hi, Tani and Andrew I belong
13:09
to a small totally white Unitarian
13:11
church where our biggest fundraiser
13:13
of the year is selling organic vegan
13:16
egg rolls at an agricultural fair Is
13:19
this racist and cultural appropriation
13:21
and if so, is there a way to fix
13:23
that? Thanks. Love the show
13:27
Wow, this person seems so wholesome like I I'm
13:30
so used from from years of producing the podcast
13:32
I'm so used to like two different
13:34
genres of colors, which is like actually
13:36
three different genres It was like the completely like
13:38
they obviously just had an argument at their in
13:40
the break room and they're trying to start right listen
13:45
Listen, yeah, the the troll that just leaves
13:47
like a racist comment and then someone who is just completely
13:49
oblivious Yeah, I think so. Like I love I
13:51
love that this wholesome person's It
13:54
was one that was like short and concise to the point
13:57
and just like in and out like I I I feel
13:59
like this is a rare I never want to roast this color
14:01
like they seem to think such a genuinely nice person
14:04
and you've you're as steeped in Chinese
14:08
American cooking bullshit as you're ever gonna
14:10
be yeah Yeah, that is true.
14:12
Yeah, I'm ready for egg roll thing is kind of tricky
14:14
because it's an American
14:17
food See isn't like an American thing.
14:19
Yeah, you know, I
14:21
guess you know There's a kiss I think that
14:23
like specific egg roll wrapper.
14:25
Yeah, but not like spring roll Yeah,
14:28
I've been around for a minute like specific use
14:30
of like yeah, whatever the hell that is
14:32
made out of Which that was on the table.
14:34
I'll just I'll just spoiler alert for our other
14:37
show it will yeah presents Do
14:40
you say the words that are coming out of our mouths? feature
14:42
in Cody's a Cody's
14:45
a learn entity I
14:48
Considered like working
14:50
in some sort of egg roll type thing But
14:53
yeah, I was I was going with spring rolls and I
14:55
feel like the spring roll was the better option Yeah, I
14:57
wasn't trying to do that much deep frying.
14:59
Yeah, I have limited capacity
15:01
for deep frying
15:03
Yeah, I think it's just like
15:06
the type of thing where I want to say Yes,
15:09
it's cultural appropriation because it's
15:12
probably fine. But if you
15:14
give people permission, they're gonna make it racist
15:17
Yeah I would say like
15:20
on its face. It's fine, but you can
15:22
make it bad easily. Yeah Obviously,
15:25
I am NOT from the Asian community or So
15:28
take this with what I'm seeing with the enormous grain
15:30
of salt But I feel
15:32
like I I'm also coming from the idea like this
15:35
like an Americanized thing Yeah, when I think
15:37
of egg rolls, I already think of like
15:39
God fear is like deep stuffed
15:42
egg jalapeno popper egg rolls like I
15:44
feel like from from from my limited
15:46
experience like there's I
15:49
don't know. They're because it is like such
15:51
an in my eyes and Americanized.
15:53
Yeah. Yeah You should food anyway, like I
15:56
feel like there is like a little bit of a leeway
15:58
when it comes to making that
15:59
But again, I could very much be wrong.
16:02
I have not worked in a restaurant in a very long time. And
16:04
also, I don't know if that restaurant was true about whether or not this
16:06
is American-made food, so who knows? I
16:08
think that's it. There's just a way to
16:10
do it, and you know what font
16:13
I'm talking about, that old Chop Suey
16:15
font. That surprisingly impures
16:17
way less than I thought in a
16:19
rush hour. Yeah, we should've
16:22
kind of a rolling tally of Chop Suey font,
16:24
then also there was like, I mean, there's only one
16:26
really all you need. There was one
16:29
such a prominent gong sound in the
16:31
first one when the card hits. But
16:34
it kind of took me out of it for a little
16:36
bit. It's such an egregious use
16:39
of the gong. Less gongs than I thought, yeah, exactly.
16:42
Some gong, but less gong than expected.
16:45
Also, did this caller say that this was for, they
16:47
were selling it, or it was for like a church event? For like a church
16:50
event that I think they were also selling.
16:52
Yeah, or they work at a church. You
16:57
never know how it's gonna hit someone, but I feel
16:59
like this person's safe. I feel like you
17:02
gotta bring such, I feel
17:05
like if you're gonna, like the
17:07
audience is so niche, like they wanna bring smoke
17:09
for this church, they wanna bring smoke for this church
17:11
for having vegan egg rolls, they wanna
17:13
bring smoke for this church for having vegan egg rolls
17:16
that is culturally appropriate. But I
17:18
think this may be a rare that's
17:21
not racist. I think, yeah, I'm just gonna say
17:23
it is, because I... Yeah,
17:25
you gotta stick to a character. You gotta character, you build... Well,
17:28
yeah, also I'm just like, yeah, it's
17:30
like fine, but it's that type
17:32
of thing where like... Is it whack? That's
17:34
the, maybe that's the question. I
17:37
think they probably sound pretty good. You
17:39
know, I was eating it, but I'm seeing like, if you're an outsider,
17:41
you're like, is it racist, or is it whack? And I
17:43
think that maybe if you're just someone walking by, they may say,
17:45
oh, it's whack. Yeah. But I would
17:48
be like, I would, I try it, I try vegan egg rolls. I think I would. I
17:50
try any egg rolls, honestly. Yeah, well, because it's
17:52
just like a deep fried, dough around
17:55
anything. Yeah, probably some, maybe they make,
17:57
only they use the vegan part of it, like, maybe
17:59
like...
17:59
Well, tofu, you can use some
18:02
of that smoked tofu. Beyond meat. Oh,
18:04
yeah. Some smoked tofu, some
18:07
vermicelli noodles, a little bit of cabbage,
18:09
a little bit of carrot, a little bit of shiitake mushroom.
18:12
Okay, here's what you do. Throw some white pepper, a little
18:14
bit of soy sauce, a little bit of sesame oil in there.
18:17
Yeah. A shredded celery.
18:19
A lot of people sleep on the celery. I
18:21
would love to see this color's recipe
18:23
for these vegan eggs. Yeah. Yeah,
18:25
that's the thing. I think it's all fine except
18:28
like, you know, you start
18:30
giving a permission for this and then there's... Oh,
18:33
yeah, yeah, yeah. ... going to be a white people. So,
18:35
I... Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, I'm saying it's...
18:38
I agree with you that it's fine, but... And
18:40
I understand that slippery slope arguments are
18:43
logically bullshit,
18:44
but this is definitely one of those first
18:46
steps down a slippery slope that... Look,
18:49
you... Unfortunately, color, I would love to co-sign
18:51
this for you when Andrea's revoked it. I
18:54
would still love to try your vegan egg rolls because
18:56
they sound delicious. Also, you seem like
18:58
an actual nice, pleasant person. So
19:02
that's really a lot of my points. Maybe
19:04
some woodier mushrooms, if you can find them. I wonder what
19:06
the rest of their menu looks like. I wonder if it's like
19:09
just like a couple of... If they're doing
19:11
a whole potluck thing or if it's just like, oh, like... All right.
19:14
If the call is called in, we're 100% not going to
19:16
replay
19:17
a new call about this, but we
19:19
will take... Accept any information and I will
19:21
pass it on.
19:22
Ooh, maybe they could send a picture of the egg roll,
19:25
like a cross section, like, you know, when you cut it. Oh,
19:27
yeah. That'd be cool. Tell me
19:29
how far away my recipe was. Yeah.
19:32
I think it was close. All right. Yeah.
19:35
Let's take a little break and we'll come back and we'll do more
19:37
VMs. All right,
19:41
we're
19:45
back. You think you also had at work really
19:48
Andrea's in them VMs? I'm
19:51
just... Yeah, yeah. Slide into
19:53
my VMs. Slide into our VMs. At...
19:56
3-2-3-3-9-7-2-2-3. That's 3-2-3-3-9-RACE. Get
19:59
that.
19:59
that in early, leave your VMs
20:02
and fuck it. Let's, let's just do another one
20:04
now.
20:05
Hi, my partner and I are moving
20:07
in together and we're looking at buying a house in
20:09
Durham, North Carolina. Sometimes
20:12
some of these houses are in a neighborhood with plantation
20:15
as part of the name,
20:16
or there's a nearby street named plantation.
20:19
I have a knee jerk reaction of not
20:22
wanting to have anything to do with that. Probably
20:24
in part from listening to this podcast. I
20:27
know that stuff hanging onto the name plantation is
20:29
racist,
20:30
but a lot of the time those are outside of town
20:32
and are best places we can afford.
20:35
Durham is pretty progressive and diverse.
20:38
And I sort of assume that if the neighborhood
20:40
is a place I want to live, then
20:43
the locals would have already fought back to change
20:45
the name or else that the people
20:47
who named it plantation did
20:49
it because they didn't care about attracting people of color.
20:52
So should I just immediately rule
20:55
these places out? But
20:57
also it's the South and the
20:59
legislature is really shitty about legacy racism,
21:02
so maybe that's just going to be part of the area
21:04
for awhile. I'd love your thoughts on how
21:06
to navigate this. Also, if my partner
21:09
hasn't seen the notice things like this, should
21:12
I reevaluate moving in with her? Thanks.
21:14
Bye.
21:15
Oh man,
21:17
there was, yeah, there was going so good until that heavy
21:20
tack on at the end. Um, if I may,
21:22
as someone who is from North Carolina. I know.
21:25
Yeah. Which I thank you for tailoring this
21:27
call. Right. Yeah. I know you did a lot
21:29
of time making sure. I
21:32
know you put in a lot of work in this one, Andrew. So I appreciate
21:34
you taking the extra. No doubt. No doubt. Yeah.
21:36
Um, as someone who is from North Carolina
21:39
and is familiar with the Raleigh Durham, well,
21:41
all that Piedmont triangle area, um,
21:44
I would say, uh, you, the color seemed
21:46
to sort of, um, hit it a little bit as
21:48
far as it just being like legacy racism, but
21:50
yeah, there's going to be a lot of like general leads or like,
21:52
you know, those, those types of places are just going to be there,
21:54
uh, by virtue of fact that you're in the South
21:57
and a part of the country, the South that had
21:59
a pretty. good, pretty good, I mean good
22:02
meaning large slave
22:06
slave infrastructure. Also,
22:10
this may sound weird to hear but like as
22:12
someone who was from the South like I can almost
22:15
guarantee you most of the people that live
22:17
in that place I don't know I haven't heard that street
22:19
it may be a good street maybe a bad street I can almost
22:21
guarantee you they have not put one
22:24
ounce of thought into like oh plantation
22:26
is bad I want to change the place that
22:28
I live on plantation street I should talk
22:30
to someone to do that like I can almost guarantee you it's just not
22:32
even the thing that they even think about probably like
22:35
nine times out of ten it's just like oh this is a
22:37
group on the street I
22:39
don't even make the connotation or the connection between
22:42
plantation and enslavement so
22:45
there's that going for it but also
22:48
like yeah it's a you know it's it's as progressive
22:50
as any place can be like
22:52
it's still going to be racist like yeah you
22:55
know it's like the color the colors
22:57
really got a lot of faith
23:00
in yeah I mean look there's there's
23:02
it's more progressive than like the sticks
23:05
definitely is more progressive than the town
23:08
that I grew up in but like you know it's still you know
23:10
the South like
23:12
I I mean I don't I don't
23:15
think it's gonna be terrible color
23:17
but I would just sort of maybe
23:20
I don't know where you're coming from as well but also I
23:22
would maybe be a little bit more
23:24
cognizant or maybe be open
23:27
to the realization that the area may be
23:29
not as progressive as you think it will be or at
23:32
least if it is you know nine times out of ten
23:34
it is progressive as you think it will be there will be moments
23:37
right oh yes I live in a place that was built
23:39
infrastructurally from the enslavement
23:42
of black people and
23:44
that is an idea and like that it just has
23:46
permeated for hundreds of years there DNA
23:49
of the city
23:50
of the cities that people
23:52
like there will be challenges that you face
23:54
and you probably will see moments like oh wow that was really racist
23:56
that was really fucking racist like and you
23:58
may say to yourself I can't believe that actually has happened as
24:00
opposed to people who maybe live
24:03
there like, oh yeah, that's just Tuesday. You
24:05
should believe that. I think the thing that is
24:07
maybe a wee bit Pollyanna about our
24:10
caller is you
24:13
can believe you need to believe
24:15
that it happened. Yeah. Because
24:17
it happens routinely. And also, you
24:20
know,
24:21
the, you know, I
24:23
don't know, I can't even imagine
24:26
what could be going on in the world right now that
24:28
might start to indicate that white
24:31
progressives don't always
24:33
do things with logical
24:36
clarity or moral clarity. Especially,
24:40
it is a marginalized people. Yeah.
24:43
Yeah. With that said, I do like the area is very lovely.
24:45
Like there's some really lovely
24:46
people there or like really
24:48
great communities, really beautiful. But I would just be like,
24:51
you know, you're in America and you're in a place in
24:53
America that was somehow
24:55
even more racist than most parts of America.
24:57
So I just just be open to the realization that maybe
24:59
reality is going to be different than what you think it is. Here's
25:03
a second Cody Ziegler ish tailored
25:06
sort of related question. Yeah. What
25:09
cookbook shops are in Raleigh? Because I
25:11
am, no, the other side of your life,
25:14
your time in Georgia. Oh, yeah.
25:16
Like what the fuck is up with
25:18
Stone Mountain? Oh, smoke,
25:21
smoke. Oh, I guess it's
25:23
called Stone Mountain. Yeah, they have a giant Confederacy
25:27
monument etched to the side. But
25:30
also like the community currently is
25:32
like pretty black around it. Is that right?
25:35
Yeah. I mean, smoke rides, all that places. Like that's
25:37
where our good friend, Kyle Drew and his sister
25:39
are from. It's just, I mean,
25:41
it's Atlanta. So it's just black. It's just
25:44
out of black people. But like I was, I
25:46
was only, I only went there once
25:48
and I was, even I was like, man,
25:50
this is wild. Even
25:53
for me, who is from a pretty racist part
25:55
of
25:56
the country.
25:57
But I, it's, it seemed like,
25:59
you know,
25:59
There are a lot of people
26:02
that I hung out with that age, yeah, this is stupid
26:04
and trash, but it affected
26:07
them as much as I expected it to, but also
26:09
I don't know that.
26:12
I really only talk to Kyle and
26:14
his sister as far as
26:16
them being. Yeah, this is really weird. It's
26:18
weird that this is a thing that exists. It
26:21
would be the first to cover it up when it goes, but yeah,
26:24
it's just an institution there. It's just like it is
26:26
a thing that exists there. I think there's
26:29
gonna be a microcosm of that in Raleigh
26:31
and just North Carolina in general, you're gonna
26:34
be, I think maybe sort of shocked by the thing
26:36
that you see. I guess maybe right, so
26:38
yeah, as a response to the caller,
26:41
a black neighborhood,
26:43
a black area still houses a literal
26:46
monument to the Confederacy. So
26:49
just kind of realize the institutional,
26:53
to put it like charitably, would say an institutional
26:56
inertia and realistically
26:58
we'll call it the fucking racism
27:00
everywhere. But
27:03
yeah, should you dump your partner because they don't care? I
27:06
of course say yes, but I'm an unreasonable
27:08
man. Yeah, I would say, I don't
27:10
know the nuances of your relationship. I don't know if
27:12
they don't care if they can clock it, if
27:14
it's one of the things of them not clocking in, you
27:17
just have the conversation in much of
27:19
the same way that you maybe haven't necessarily
27:21
clocked that you may be moving into an environment
27:24
that is not as uniformly
27:26
progressive as you may wish. I think
27:28
I would just have that conversation. So Andrew
27:30
is more fire and brimstone, I'm more
27:34
maybe not necessarily like nuke it from orbit just
27:36
yet. Yeah,
27:40
there you go. That was great. It's
27:42
called balance. I got one
27:44
more voicemail, right? Here we go.
27:46
Hi, Yochu.
27:48
White guy probably overthinking something here.
27:52
Would it be problematic if I got a Tracy
27:54
Morgan tattoo? Specifically,
27:57
because Astronaut Jones care for him from Saturday
27:59
Night Live.
28:00
Got a bunch of other like sci-fi to do
28:02
and who's on a leg. I fear that fit
28:04
in nice That's
28:07
I just don't know
28:08
am I overthinking this?
28:10
That's so funny That
28:13
guy had a perfect he really had
28:15
the perfect storm of like accent and
28:17
insane question Man, I got a question
28:19
for you. So I love that. I love
28:22
that Spaceman Jones also,
28:24
that's one of my favorite SNL sketches like I
28:26
still sing the theme song maybe once
28:28
or twice a week Check out
28:31
astronaut Jones. It's just the theme song is fantastic
28:35
I'm gonna say this is just I
28:37
want to say it's it's not racist But
28:40
you will probably have to explain who astronaut
28:42
Jones is every single person
28:45
that looks at it To
28:48
you, they don't know who who astronaut
28:51
Jones is or what the game of that sketch is That's
28:53
a weird one and I guess like
28:56
tattoos can get pretty like photorealistic
28:59
Yeah, I guess what depends you how realistic you're gonna be
29:01
is it gonna be like more of a cartoon? Illustrative
29:04
styles would be more like photorealistic.
29:07
Yeah What a what a
29:09
what a delightfully weird question.
29:12
Wait, what was your take into what was your answer? I
29:15
mean, I guess I'm just like look,
29:18
there are definitely ways this could turn out bad and
29:20
it's gonna be on your body forever, but You
29:23
know, I there's probably something like obviously
29:25
the color acknowledged is probably overthinking it but like
29:28
I mean look I know that I
29:30
Am part of the problem in this but there has
29:32
to be a way to like
29:34
For white people to do
29:36
stuff like depict people of color
29:39
without like worrying about
29:41
Like this in this way. Yeah, maybe
29:44
I don't know. That's very funny
29:46
He's overthinking but not overthinking
29:49
it
29:49
too too much I just dropped a
29:51
picture of astronaut Jones in the chat for those who may
29:53
not remember what he looks like But oh, yeah,
29:56
it's just a picture that I think he's gonna get which is Tracy
30:00
Morgan with the guitar decks with spaceship, but I
30:02
think that'd be pretty funny honestly or it's
30:04
him in like the Stereoscope
30:07
like EP cover. Yeah,
30:09
that could be pretty funny. I'm not gonna lie I honestly
30:12
the more I talk about it the more I'm gonna get your love
30:14
of this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
30:16
Yeah, we get astro zones next to my next
30:19
to my I'm also not as much
30:21
of a tattoo guy Yeah, but you have
30:23
said you only have one tattoo, right? I got the one
30:26
I'm like a person that just was like Yeah,
30:29
yeah one
30:30
Good. You got a pretty you got a pretty
30:32
decent sleeve going. Yeah, I have
30:35
one tattoo, but it's just enormous It just takes
30:37
up. I got a true I got I showed that I'm
30:39
sort of getting it like a traditional Japanese tattoo
30:41
So it is one tattoo, but it is
30:43
made up like 12 different elements. I
30:46
forgot to ask are you is it? Done
30:49
where you know? I
30:51
was gonna get more but then the strike happened So
30:54
I was like I can't justify spending a grand
30:56
right for more I can't just for spending
30:58
for grand over the course
31:00
of like four different sessions until I get a
31:02
job again Yeah, that's probably
31:05
once I get my next gig. I will finally complete
31:07
complete this nice Yeah, dope.
31:10
No, this is the riveting audio
31:12
to this. Yeah. Yeah, we really Yeah,
31:16
the audience is asking for more begging
31:19
for more yeah, that's your
31:21
aunt Jones, okay
31:23
Yeah, listen if if you're
31:25
comfortable
31:26
You know Drawing or
31:29
owning a depiction of a black person.
31:31
I guess it's got to be right up
31:33
there. Yeah But yeah
31:35
get a good one. Maybe that's it. Maybe
31:37
you get a fucking good one. Yeah, like
31:39
it's gonna be really It's got to be really good
31:42
because otherwise
31:45
bad
31:46
Alright a little little little mailbag episode
