00:00:00.000 This shirt makes it look like I don't even have a neck.
00:00:04.640 Okay, let's get that.
00:00:06.780 And what do you think about this?
00:00:22.300 Yeah, yeah!
00:00:24.180 Celebrate living.
00:00:26.020 Okay.
00:00:27.720 Celebrate misery.
00:00:29.160 Got to celebrate the dark times.
00:00:35.520 Because the light can flicker in your life.
00:00:43.500 The light can flicker on your life.
00:00:47.820 You're not guaranteed a hundred watt life.
00:00:51.980 You know, you can't think that.
00:00:53.280 You can act like it.
00:00:56.040 But you can't be infected with the idea or with more really the affliction that life is supposed to be a hundred watt.
00:01:06.760 That you are guaranteed a hundred watt life.
00:01:10.180 Because that's not realistic.
00:01:13.120 You know, life is often just maybe 80 watt.
00:01:16.520 And if you can live at 80 watt, man, then you are really, I mean, you're living under a beautiful lamp of existence, I think.
00:01:24.680 And that's just my thoughts.
00:01:26.300 It is Thursday, November 16, the year 2017.
00:01:30.300 And we are on earth.
00:01:31.420 And welcome to this past Thursday.
00:01:35.980 I'm happy to be here with you guys.
00:01:37.200 I'm wearing a, it's kind of like a sweatshirt.
00:01:39.900 And I just, I'm just saw my reflection on it on this camera.
00:01:44.080 And I just feel inferior.
00:01:46.940 Because it just kind of feels, I'm having one of those days.
00:01:50.400 Honestly, I'm having one of those days.
00:01:51.480 It just highlights the lack of distance in my neck.
00:01:54.760 That my neck don't have that reach that I've always wanted. 0.99
00:01:57.840 You know, you kind of wish sometimes that one of your great, great grandparents fucked a giraffe. 0.99
00:02:02.820 So you might have that extra inch up top. 1.00
00:02:05.860 You know, you might have that, you know, your neck looks like it could dunk a ball.
00:02:10.720 You know, I don't have that neck.
00:02:13.100 Good to be here.
00:02:13.940 Thank you guys for joining me.
00:02:15.840 Brief announcements.
00:02:16.820 Huntsville, Alabama.
00:02:17.660 I'll be seeing you tonight through Sunday night.
00:02:22.300 So Friday night, I'm just featuring for another man that's local there.
00:02:25.960 But come on out.
00:02:26.700 If you have a friend in Huntsville, tell them to come on out.
00:02:29.420 As well, thank you to Gray Block Pizza.
00:02:31.640 As always, great place to get a hit of that pie here in Los Angeles.
00:02:35.820 And coming soon, a new shop in Portland, Oregon.
00:02:40.940 Yeah, man, I had a tough, I had a tough day.
00:02:42.880 I know you don't want to hear about my tough day.
00:02:43.900 So we'll hear about, you know, we got some good follow-up calls.
00:02:47.660 You know, one of the topics that was brought up on the last episode was, do black men get nervous?
00:02:54.420 You know, and do black people get nervous, I guess.
00:02:56.780 I mean, I haven't spent, you know, I mean, black people to me have always been, seemed extremely confident.
00:03:05.660 You know, and so last time on the episode, we talked about that a little bit.
00:03:09.700 And so we had some great calls that came in from you guys.
00:03:11.960 So we're going to listen to some of that.
00:03:14.620 What's going on in the news?
00:03:16.240 The Louis C.K. stuff, I want to comment on it, but I don't know if I'm going to get to that today.
00:03:22.340 If not, I'll make sure to follow up on it on the next week's episode.
00:03:25.720 And also got to let some of the more of the information come out and things that's going on, you know.
00:03:32.680 But it's a wild, man.
00:03:33.700 It's a scary time to be a man in a lot of places.
00:03:39.440 And I don't know if it's like that in the rest of the country, but here in Los Angeles, it definitely feels that way.
00:03:44.540 You know, I'm on a lot of text chains where, you know, men are scared.
00:03:47.820 Scared. Scared. Scared that, you know, if someone who doesn't like them comes out and says something, that it could damage their career, their future.
00:03:58.800 Or also that if they did something, I haven't had any friends come to me and say, hey, Theo, I did this, and I'm scared it's going to come out.
00:04:06.440 But I could imagine that men who have, you know, who have, you know, done some ice-cold activities, that they could be worried.
00:04:18.380 You know, I really could imagine that.
00:04:20.680 I heard a crazy rumor today that someone's going to make accusations against James Franco, and that's going to be coming out next.
00:04:28.920 You know, I heard that today.
00:04:30.620 Is that true? I don't know.
00:04:32.200 You know, there's a lot of rumors going around out here in Hollywood, but that's what I heard, that he has a movie coming out,
00:04:37.500 and that before that, someone is going to drop that drop-up accusation in order to put him on the rocks.
00:04:43.300 Now, that could be total fiction.
00:04:45.080 You know, I don't know.
00:04:46.360 I'm just sharing stuff that I've heard, you know, because it's scary.
00:04:49.800 It's a scary time, even for dudes that aren't getting any.
00:04:53.060 I'm sure there's dudes who have just been in their apartment for a decade, just J-O-ing to themselves,
00:04:58.900 wondering if, you know, maybe one night they accidentally shot a load out a window,
00:05:03.800 and it might have, you know, landed on a shoulder dropped on a woman who was going to get some groceries,
00:05:09.320 or visiting, or, you know, or putting some stuff in the recycling bin.
00:05:14.200 You know, but I think overall that it's, change is always, it's always good.
00:05:20.240 You know, I think this kind of stuff is going to clear some of the air.
00:05:23.620 And when I think about what some women have been through sometimes, 0.99
00:05:26.340 that shit's got to be pretty dark, you know, because every dude have nuts on him. 1.00
00:05:32.980 And in a man's nuts is a little bit of fire. 1.00
00:05:36.540 You know, in a man's nuts is a little bit of fire.
00:05:40.660 And sometime that fire grows, and sometime that fire waits.
00:05:45.340 You know, and that's wild to think of.
00:05:47.480 You know, it's also, it's part of the, you know, it's part of the, what makes us, you know,
00:05:53.600 humanity and existence and the Big Bang and everything. 0.99
00:05:57.740 It's part of what makes all that work, you know, is that that fire exists inside of a man's crotch and nuts. 0.96
00:06:03.440 But, you know, it's, you know, it's half of the element. 0.95
00:06:08.340 Because you've got to have the fire, and then you've got to have something that will, that will mate with the fire.
00:06:13.580 You know, the kindling.
00:06:15.140 You know, and scientifically, that's what the, you know, that's the woman. 1.00
00:06:18.620 You know, it's like you have this dance between the fire and the kindling.
00:06:21.600 And then the flame creates, you know, that spark in the kindling.
00:06:25.260 But it's wild when you've got a fellow, you know, some dude's running around out there.
00:06:28.980 Or just a bunch of Luigis just slanging fireballs off into the distance. 1.00
00:06:34.100 You know, hoping it just lands on some random lady, you know, passing by or laying out at a beach or just having a conversation.
00:06:42.040 There's some wildness going on.
00:06:43.720 It's the dark arts.
00:06:45.660 That's what it is.
00:06:46.760 And I'm going to tell you guys, before we even get into the rest of this episode,
00:06:49.980 what I want you, what I would love to have more calls in about are the dark arts.
00:06:54.280 Because the holidays are coming up.
00:06:55.960 But, and if you don't think that I'm a holiday boy, then you're wrong.
00:07:03.040 Okay?
00:07:04.160 My God, dude.
00:07:05.360 I swear to you, when I was young, for my birthday, my mom was like, what kind of shoes do you want?
00:07:12.640 Do you want high tops?
00:07:14.100 And I said, no, I want those Christmas stockings.
00:07:18.600 That's what I want.
00:07:20.160 And she said, you can't, those aren't shoes.
00:07:21.520 She goes, those are just for, you know, the gifts at Christmas.
00:07:24.980 But for probably about eight months, I wore Christmas stockings as my socks.
00:07:31.480 You know, popping up out of my K-Swisses and popping up out of my BK Knights. 0.58
00:07:37.660 And, you know, I loved Christmas so much that I wore Christmas stockings on my feet.
00:07:41.960 And that's truly wild, you know, when you really think about that activity.
00:07:44.700 But it's good to be here with you guys, man.
00:07:49.300 And I want you to call in.
00:07:50.820 If you've been, you know, if you've got an affliction of the dark arts, we had some good stories that came in this week about the dark arts.
00:07:55.700 And the dark arts is if you've had an affliction. 0.96
00:07:58.520 You know, you caught up in the masturbation. 0.92
00:08:00.540 You've been caught up in the, you know, getting into the seedy forces of dark nature. 0.92
00:08:05.020 You know, or when you feel that little thing just tickling at the top.
00:08:10.300 When you feel the devil just licking the top of your spinal column.
00:08:14.780 Whatever action you then take. 0.60
00:08:17.000 It could be anything.
00:08:18.740 You know, you could be taping razor blades to a frisbee and throwing that thing into a, you know, out towards a bunch of majorettes. 0.79
00:08:27.020 You know, out there dancing with their, you know, flag team or whatever.
00:08:32.520 Or you could be, you know, you could be drinking gasoline and then, you know, urinating in somebody's car trunk and throwing a match in there.
00:08:44.740 Just to see if gas can make it through your body. 0.99
00:08:47.440 And see if you could fuck their trunk up. 0.99
00:08:49.660 You know, there's a lot of things you can be doing that are the dark arts. 0.99
00:08:52.880 And I want you guys to share some stories because I want us to purge ourselves.
00:08:56.080 You know, I want us to get us, I want us to get this out of our system.
00:08:59.520 Because we're about to come into the holidays.
00:09:01.700 You know, we're about to come into a time of reflection, a time of gratitude, a time of thanks.
00:09:07.840 And when we get there, I want us to be empty.
00:09:10.600 I want us to be empty of the things, of these plagues that are within us.
00:09:14.120 I really do.
00:09:14.860 And I think we can do it, man.
00:09:16.480 I think we can do it, dude.
00:09:19.660 Man, my buddy had a cat that could eat Skittles. 1.00
00:09:22.040 Can you believe that shit? 1.00
00:09:23.480 My buddy had a cat that could eat Skittles when I was young. 1.00
00:09:26.380 And I mean eat them.
00:09:28.300 I just don't mean, you know, you could, you know, kind of rustle one into it.
00:09:33.480 I mean eat them.
00:09:34.760 Eat them.
00:09:35.780 So that's pretty wild.
00:09:37.220 But yeah, we want to get those dark arts out. 0.99
00:09:39.180 So this coming episode is going to be a little bit about those dark arts.
00:09:42.740 The one for next week.
00:09:44.900 But this week we had a lot of good calls, man, that came in.
00:09:47.860 We were talking about it.
00:09:48.760 And you know, the saddest thing, I didn't get any calls from any black listeners.
00:09:54.380 And so we may not have any black listeners.
00:09:56.560 And that's a little bit scary to me.
00:09:58.780 So I, my goal this and this next couple days is to find some black friends and get them to call in and give a couple of two cents on how nervous do black people get. 0.91
00:10:09.520 Because to me, it seemed like black people never got nervous growing up.
00:10:15.140 And more specifically, black men.
00:10:17.200 Because those are the people that I was around the most.
00:10:19.860 You know, I was in a group when I was young called NFL.
00:10:22.120 And that was when I was in fifth and sixth grade.
00:10:27.240 Maybe seventh grade.
00:10:29.480 And you can guess what the N stood for.
00:10:31.920 I'm not allowed to say the word.
00:10:34.380 Little Wayne can say it.
00:10:36.380 You know, if that, you know, throws any hints out the window.
00:10:39.500 But, you know, I would notice that my friends did not get nervous.
00:10:43.860 You know, my friends within that group did not get nervous.
00:10:46.020 We had the ears pierced and the, you know, the Chicago White Sox hat.
00:10:50.540 You know, we rode NFL on our shirts and on our necks with charcoal and with lipstick sometimes.
00:10:58.340 Dark lipstick.
00:10:59.240 Because one of my friends' mother wore dark, dark lipstick. 1.00
00:11:03.120 Because she had moles on her lips and she tried to cover them up. 1.00
00:11:06.320 But let's get into some calls, man.
00:11:07.520 That was the topic.
00:11:08.360 And I got some of you guys' thoughts.
00:11:09.900 So here we go.
00:11:11.560 Hey, what's up, Theo?
00:11:13.520 This is Taylor from South Carolina.
00:11:16.560 What's up, Taylor from South Carolina?
00:11:18.000 You know, I used to go to the College of Charleston there.
00:11:19.940 Right there in Charleston, South Carolina.
00:11:21.880 And I was bouncer.
00:11:22.760 I was a bouncer back in the day when I used to be on performance enhancing drugs.
00:11:26.640 And they apparently enhanced my performance so well that I was able to barely make minimum wage working the front door at an Irish bar.
00:11:36.500 So this boy came in there one time with my brother's ID.
00:11:42.020 He used a fake ID from Louisiana to get into this bar.
00:11:45.640 And it happened to be my brother's, which is so bizarre.
00:11:48.760 Because I barely even knew my brother very well at that time in my life.
00:11:52.540 And then to see his picture pop up right in front of me, that was pretty wild, man.
00:11:57.920 It was pretty...
00:11:59.120 Anyway, onward.
00:12:00.400 Let's hear some more.
00:12:00.940 I'm living out in Hollywood now. 0.58
00:12:02.940 So I throw my two cents in on this little black dudes getting nervous thing. 1.00
00:12:07.680 Okay.
00:12:07.980 Thank you for calling.
00:12:08.700 Let's hear more.
00:12:09.480 So I used to be a real big hater on Kanye.
00:12:13.620 Oh, man. 0.79
00:12:13.880 I thought you were going to say, so I used to be a black dude.
00:12:15.880 I was going to be like, this is going to be good.
00:12:18.100 Used to be a big hater on Kanye.
00:12:20.100 Okay.
00:12:20.400 I'm guessing Kanye West.
00:12:22.040 Let's hear more. 1.00
00:12:23.120 I always just thought that he was like a cocky asshole. 1.00
00:12:25.580 He had this one line that kind of turned things around for me. 1.00
00:12:27.880 Because he had this line that says, I'm a black man with the confidence of a white man.
00:12:32.040 Hallelujah.
00:12:32.780 I'm a black man with the confidence of a white man.
00:12:35.820 Hallelujah.
00:12:36.620 Okay.
00:12:36.920 And I really respected him for that line because I thought that that was like his slick Kanye
00:12:42.780 way of saying that he was a black man dealing with the insecurities that we all know white
00:12:50.440 men have to deal with.
00:12:52.000 Because in my mind.
00:12:53.380 Okay.
00:12:53.920 You thought it said it was him saying, I'm a black man dealing with the insecurities that
00:12:58.300 we all know a white man has to deal with.
00:13:01.780 Okay.
00:13:02.260 I don't follow that a hundred percent because he's talking about confidence, but let's hear
00:13:04.940 more.
00:13:05.240 Black guys are the most confident dudes on the planet and drunk white girls, but it's 1.00
00:13:10.600 mostly, like I've always thought that that's always been a stereotype in my head. 0.61
00:13:17.640 Agreed.
00:13:17.980 So when I heard that line and it like changed things with the way I look at Kanye and then
00:13:22.380 I took it to my black friend to like tell him, you know, how I felt about it.
00:13:25.880 And he was like, no, no, no.
00:13:26.840 And I had to flip the script and that it was like a stereotype on the opposite side that
00:13:30.760 white guys are known for being the most confident in a black community.
00:13:34.240 So I think that, I think that it's just a misconception on both sides.
00:13:39.100 Okay.
00:13:39.600 I'm gonna stop you there.
00:13:40.660 It's a good thought.
00:13:41.880 You know, it's a misconception.
00:13:43.300 Maybe it's a misconception on both sides.
00:13:44.780 If your friend said that, you know, that he thinks that white men were the most confident, 0.82
00:13:49.220 I guess it also could be environment based, you know?
00:13:52.100 Like if I walked down the street in a black neighborhood and, you know, I'll use an example 1.00
00:13:59.900 that I'm familiar with, you know, in certain black neighborhoods in New Orleans, I might
00:14:05.060 feel unconfident and a black guy might feel the same way in a white neighborhood, might
00:14:11.580 feel unconfident.
00:14:12.560 Um, it might even feel nervous, you know, or maybe black people have, you know, maybe 1.00
00:14:19.200 because of the history they've had in America, maybe a lot or some or many black people operate 0.79
00:14:26.460 at nervous.
00:14:28.360 And that's just, and so we don't even notice it because it's so ingrained in the histories
00:14:34.980 that they've had to live, you know, the, the environments that they've had to live in.
00:14:38.040 I mean, that's an interesting, you know, an interesting thought that's just kind of flying
00:14:41.800 into my brain, but I appreciate that call.
00:14:43.820 Maybe it's a misconception on both sides.
00:14:45.720 You know, maybe when black guys look at us, they think, man, those guys are so, you know,
00:14:50.980 confident because why wouldn't they be, you know, they, you know, uh, I mean, going on
00:14:56.860 another white privilege thing that, you know, that white guys are so confident and comfortable
00:15:00.520 in this world because it's their world, you know, or this is that, you know, that's an old 0.99
00:15:06.440 idea.
00:15:06.820 I'm not saying that it's a white man's world, but you know, um, that, that could be a perception.
00:15:12.360 Well, I definitely, I got to get some black friends to weigh in on this, but, uh, but
00:15:15.500 I appreciate that call.
00:15:16.860 Uh, let's hear another one right here.
00:15:18.360 Here we go.
00:15:19.520 Hey, what's up, Theo, Zach from Birmingham, Alabama.
00:15:22.660 Hey, Zach, I'm coming to Birmingham next week, Mauro.
00:15:25.200 I'm coming to Huntsville actually, uh, you know, tomorrow, Thursday, I'll be there Thursday.
00:15:29.980 So today, when you hear this.
00:15:31.200 I'm looking forward to seeing you in Huntsville this, uh, Saturday.
00:15:34.180 Oh, nice.
00:15:34.620 I had to stand up live there.
00:15:36.480 Um, wanted to call in and, uh, just drop a line about, uh, your topic for, uh, black
00:15:43.040 people getting nervous.
00:15:44.660 Um, I grew up as part of a four man posse, uh, middle school and high school, three of
00:15:51.300 those being black, one white, which was me.
00:15:54.300 Uh, I was with a taxi as well.
00:15:56.740 Ironically, I was the only one with a car, but, uh, that was fine.
00:15:59.820 Yeah.
00:15:59.920 That white jelly bean.
00:16:01.000 That's what they used to call me sometimes.
00:16:02.640 Cause you know, when we had it in the NFL club, you know, everybody had some color and
00:16:07.920 then I was that white jelly bean, the one that, you know, doesn't really have a specific
00:16:11.320 taste to it. 0.98
00:16:12.320 What the fuck is the taste of white jelly beans anyway? 1.00
00:16:15.240 That's some bullshit. 1.00
00:16:16.600 Onward. 0.99
00:16:16.840 Um, I had a, one of my good buddies, uh, Jeff, uh, grew up playing football with Jeff, uh,
00:16:24.500 middle school and high school.
00:16:25.740 And in high school, he would get so nervous before games that after warmups, before we
00:16:32.700 took the field, he would throw up every single game.
00:16:37.260 Uh, wow.
00:16:39.540 So that's a real, I mean, look, that's a real thing.
00:16:42.340 That dude's vomiting, you know, cause all vomit is, is your, whatever your feelings are
00:16:47.600 trying to escape your body and using food as their mode of transportation.
00:16:52.300 So that's wild dude.
00:16:53.540 So he had some, some fear, some feelings, some nervous energy trying to get out of his
00:16:57.220 body, you know, and dark Jeff there is blowing it out.
00:17:01.620 You know what I'm saying?
00:17:02.460 He's going for that six, that 17 point conversion out on the front yard before he even starts
00:17:07.180 the football game.
00:17:08.240 Hmm.
00:17:09.100 All right.
00:17:09.980 Uh, for about six years there.
00:17:12.920 Uh, so that's consistent Jeff on that vomit four years in high school, two in middle school.
00:17:18.840 Well, everybody vomits in middle school.
00:17:20.820 So, but still consistent Jeff, four years of vomiting.
00:17:24.100 Um, great player.
00:17:25.360 He's actually playing arena league football now.
00:17:28.000 I'm not sure where, uh, but he used to get so nervous that he would, uh, I'll tell you
00:17:33.140 where in an arena, bro, horrible joke.
00:17:36.040 Never telling that one again. 0.87
00:17:37.400 Let's hear some more, uh, throw up for every game and then get like three pigs and a touchdown 0.78
00:17:42.200 or something like that. 0.99
00:17:43.520 But, uh, yeah, black people definitely get nervous. 1.00
00:17:46.860 Um, maybe it's because, you know, they got such good skin and maybe we just can't see
00:17:52.440 the, the, the frowny wrinkles in there, the nervous, uh, wrinkles there.
00:17:56.680 I'm not sure.
00:17:57.260 I know.
00:17:57.820 Wow.
00:17:58.220 That's a great point.
00:17:59.520 Yeah.
00:17:59.940 We got, we're, we have a little bit more of a, if you have any radar for nervous energy,
00:18:03.840 you can see it on a, on a white person, you know, or on somebody that's light skinned.
00:18:08.800 You can see it, you know, you know, you can see, you know, the redness in their cheek
00:18:15.680 or their neck.
00:18:16.780 You know, sometimes people neck get a little pink when they nervous.
00:18:19.800 So they nerved up, you know, you can see a little bit of, you know, you might see them
00:18:23.900 sweating, you know, you might see them a little bit more hectic.
00:18:27.420 You might see that, uh, it's interesting, man, you know, and black people have, have
00:18:32.980 had a such, I mean, have had a, such a struggle in America. 0.99
00:18:36.580 I wonder if you, you know, evolve past nerves a little bit, you know, like, fuck, how can 0.97
00:18:44.460 I be nervous when I have so many other things to deal with, you know? 0.97
00:18:50.180 Um, and I, you know, and I hope this conversation isn't striking anybody as like a racist conversation.
00:18:55.640 I wish that I had, you know, a black person here to discuss it with, but at the same time,
00:19:02.720 you know, it's okay.
00:19:04.860 Um, and it should always be okay to talk about things and, uh, and to voice ideas, thoughts,
00:19:12.900 opinions, um, always, you know, to have a discussion.
00:19:17.460 And that sometimes I think is part of the problem in like in the mainstream is that you never get,
00:19:25.040 uh, there's never, everybody's opinion isn't taken into account, you know, it's only one
00:19:29.960 opinion, uh, a lot of times.
00:19:32.100 And I think that that's one of the problems, you know, that our country faces the most is
00:19:36.220 that a lot of mainstream media just wants to focus on one opinion and doesn't want to
00:19:41.140 be a little bit more universal.
00:19:42.940 And that's why we get stuck in a lot of the problems.
00:19:44.920 I think we continually have in America is because we don't, you know, we're not getting
00:19:50.140 all sides of the issue.
00:19:52.560 A lot of times we're not addressing all sides of issues.
00:19:55.320 Uh, let's hear a little bit more.
00:19:57.180 I appreciate that call, man.
00:19:58.160 That was great.
00:19:58.880 That was really, really interesting.
00:20:01.000 Um, you know, you're making me think there that we show it.
00:20:04.400 We, you know, our true colors come shining through. 1.00
00:20:06.560 Like if you're nervous and you're white, that shit could flare up pretty easy. 1.00
00:20:10.740 But even with that said, I mean, I just, I mean, I just, and maybe a lot of, I take 0.99
00:20:17.680 it back to sports, you know, because that's where I spent a lot of time with my black friends.
00:20:21.500 But even like, I remember being high with my black buddies and I would be so paranoid
00:20:27.020 and rarely would I find or feel that my black friends were paranoid like that.
00:20:33.460 Like they had the same level or space inside of them for paranoia to bounce around.
00:20:40.060 Um, God, it would be so amazing.
00:20:43.060 I heard that there's going to be virtual reality in the future.
00:20:45.700 I'm not sure where I read this, but where you can know, you can have an idea of what
00:20:49.540 it's like to be another race, you know? 1.00
00:20:52.420 And unfortunately it won't be some, you know, hoity toity liberal thing where it's just,
00:20:57.760 you know, it's like you're a black guy walking through a mall and every white person in the
00:21:03.360 mall turns and looks at you like you don't belong, you know, because a lot of that kind 1.00
00:21:08.260 of stuff is bullshit. 0.99
00:21:10.220 You know, that's one thing that I don't like a lot of times is that, you know, a lot of 0.99
00:21:15.180 media focuses, uh, the white opinion on black people is, is, it's not a, is that it's not
00:21:21.120 an opinion of understanding, you know?
00:21:23.960 I mean, when I was growing up, nothing really made me sadder a lot of times than, you know,
00:21:29.500 seeing the level of poverty that some of my friends had, whether they were black or
00:21:33.920 white, you know, or, you know, seeing the, the inherited poverty that comes on down, you
00:21:42.840 know, it's like, you know, when you're real poor, if your grandfather got a parking ticket, 1.00
00:21:48.900 fucking you might not go to college. 0.99
00:21:50.940 You know, that's how, that's how just one little slight can really adjust a generation 0.99
00:21:56.180 or two, you know?
00:21:58.540 And I always felt, you know, I felt bad for my black friends that were, that were, you
00:22:03.780 know, that didn't have a parent or, you know, only had one parent.
00:22:07.920 It's not like I was blind, you know, to some of the plight.
00:22:12.840 Um, and I don't feel like a lot of people were, you know, but I do think sometimes at the
00:22:18.120 news, you know, a lot of these networks, they focus on like the only time people from
00:22:24.140 my neighbor or wherever on the news was when, you know, they wanted to have an alien sighting.
00:22:29.900 That's the only time poor white people was on the news. 1.00
00:22:31.980 You get some idiot, you know, and he saw an alien sighting, you know? 1.00
00:22:36.320 So I just felt like there's always been a very bad representation of, uh, of what, you 0.99
00:22:41.180 know, a lot of, of what it's really like for, you know, in some of these neighborhoods,
00:22:44.760 um, especially what it's, you know, the view of poor white people, you know, like, like 0.97
00:22:49.820 that it was all people just running around with rebel flags and all this shit. 0.97
00:22:54.640 Um, that was not my experience at all. 0.96
00:22:56.980 All right, let's hear a little bit more.
00:22:58.200 We've got some other cool callers here.
00:22:59.520 Here we go.
00:23:01.340 What up, Theo?
00:23:03.440 Big Edgar from San Fernando 818.
00:23:06.240 Big Edgar?
00:23:07.460 San Fernando.
00:23:09.160 Now, Edgar, I just drove out through the Mojave.
00:23:11.300 And the Mojave, I don't even know what that's, uh, Spanish for, but I appreciate it.
00:23:16.760 Um, big Edgar, you know, I like, uh, I, I love Latino culture, man.
00:23:23.260 I think, you know, my father's, uh, you know, I'm Polish Nicaraguan.
00:23:26.680 My father was born and raised in Nicaragua.
00:23:29.160 And I, um, one thing I noticed a lot about, I was thinking about Mexican dudes the other
00:23:33.780 day, trying to do this skit on stage where I tell a story about the first Mexican kid that
00:23:38.000 I ever met.
00:23:38.640 And I think it's funny how, like, a lot of Mexican dudes, and maybe you can call back 1.00
00:23:42.340 in, Edgar, if you hear this.
00:23:43.680 Why do a lot of Mexican dudes start talking like they're, they're drowning, bro?
00:23:47.140 Like, you ever notice that?
00:23:48.080 Like, like, Mexican dudes, if they're getting angry or something, they'll start looking straight 1.00
00:23:52.340 up at the sky and talking, bro.
00:23:54.160 Like, stretching their neck.
00:23:55.720 Like, what is, like, if they're arguing and stuff, it's like, it's like water is rising
00:24:00.840 around them, bro.
00:24:01.740 And I'm trying to get up here, bro.
00:24:03.280 Um, and, uh, and I could be crazy. 0.88
00:24:06.020 I could just be an absolutely racist on that.
00:24:08.180 But if not, man, let me know what you think.
00:24:09.880 Let's hear a little bit more, Edgar.
00:24:11.120 Thank you for calling from that 818.
00:24:12.860 And also, Edgar, if you get a chance, I got, uh, there's this girl, Raven, uh, Raven Felix,
00:24:18.060 who is a rapper from the 818, man.
00:24:21.580 She got a new album out called Vala Fornication.
00:24:24.120 Uh, she's in that Wiz Khalifa clique. 0.89
00:24:26.120 And you can, uh, check out her stuff.
00:24:27.820 She's from, I don't know if she's from your hood, but she's from, uh, somewhere close,
00:24:30.720 a bit.
00:24:31.160 Let's hear more. 0.79
00:24:32.400 Black people legit do not get nervous. 0.94
00:24:38.120 Okay. 0.96
00:24:38.680 And now this is a Mexican guy telling us this.
00:24:40.400 So we're getting at least a little bit closer on that diversity chain.
00:24:43.400 You know, we're getting one link closer.
00:24:46.080 Here we go.
00:24:46.600 Thanks, Edgar.
00:24:47.180 More.
00:24:48.680 As a kid, man, paint the scene, paint this picture.
00:24:53.220 Eight, nine, 10 years old or so.
00:24:56.160 Had a good friend named Steven, black gentleman.
00:25:02.280 Whoa.
00:25:02.780 Okay.
00:25:03.340 So you had a good friend named Steven, black gentleman, but also I'm going to tell you this
00:25:06.740 straight up, Edgar.
00:25:07.360 I'm hearing some birds in the background, you know, and I know a bird sound when I've, when
00:25:12.480 I've been around a bird sound because a huge crow one time flew into the back of my father's
00:25:17.380 thunderbird and, uh, and broke all the windows out with his beak.
00:25:21.500 And I remember, I'll never forget that, that glass falling, that bird being violent.
00:25:25.920 And my father was so old, he couldn't turn his neck and he thought it was a black man 0.70
00:25:29.380 back there because I kept saying black, black, and he thought it was a black man in the back 0.81
00:25:33.740 of the car, but that was a black bird, a raven.
00:25:37.060 Um, so I know a bird sound.
00:25:39.360 Also another time I went to Vietnam when I was a student, I went to Vietnam to, uh, you know,
00:25:46.660 doing studies and while I was there, right when I got there, I was there on a ship.
00:25:53.060 I went there on a ship and this is a, this is a true story.
00:25:56.120 And right when I got there, we got off the ship and we told the taxi driver to take us.
00:25:59.320 We wanted to go to a museum, but right the taxi driver, first place they take you prostitution 1.00
00:26:04.780 place, hotel hookers, stuff like that. 1.00
00:26:07.980 So right when I got there, they took me to a hooker place and, but I didn't know it was 0.97

00:26:19.140 birds that are still growing.
00:26:20.160 So you don't really know, you know, how they're going to end up height wise.

00:26:57.360 And, um, and I got nervous, man. 0.99
00:26:59.920 I got a little bit nervous, honestly, because you're all, you know, laying right there with
00:27:03.100 your buddies and it's, you know, like, you know, I get nervous sometimes in the sensuality
00:27:08.060 areas and I ain't, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:11.220 And I ain't, I ain't training the seal in front of my buddies.
00:27:15.280 If you know what I'm talking about, I ain't training the seal in front of my buddies.
00:27:20.460 So, but let's hear more that black people definitely do not get nervous.
00:27:24.480 You had a friend onward, good family, Kaiser parents, mom was a nurse, dad was some kind
00:27:32.280 of janitorial services.
00:27:34.940 Okay.
00:27:35.460 So you had a good friend whose mom was a nurse.
00:27:37.520 He came from a good family onward up at the Kaiser.
00:27:40.660 Very good.
00:27:41.580 Well off family.
00:27:43.040 And Kaiser's a Kaiser's a hospital for those who don't know.
00:27:45.560 Let's hear more. 1.00

00:27:58.140 do the fucking hurdles. 1.00
00:27:59.820 Anyway. 0.99
00:28:01.200 Dude, I remember that thing.
00:28:03.640 His older brother, Keith, green eyed bandit, black gentleman, light skinned gentleman.
00:28:11.180 Ooh, light skinned Keith. 0.85
00:28:13.460 That counts.
00:28:14.400 That counts.
00:28:15.660 I did not know he robbed a bank, yo. 1.00
00:28:17.940 He robbed a fucking bank. 1.00
00:28:19.640 About six months, a year later, the house gets raided. 1.00
00:28:24.640 Wow.
00:28:25.340 Dude, I've always wanted to rob a bank, honestly. 0.97
00:28:27.120 I think inside of a man, in that fire that's in your nuts, we were talking about in the
00:28:31.400 beginning, in that spark, you know, in that little bit of, in that nad spark, in that,
00:28:37.480 in that sack, in that, in that, in that sack, in that, you know, that little spark, in that
00:28:47.760 little, that little tricity, in that tricity that's, you know, chirping down in your nuts
00:28:53.400 all the time, telling you to be a man, be a man, be a man, be a man, it's that last flicker
00:28:59.200 of existence from the great beyond, from our forefathers, you know, it's that little 1.00
00:29:03.420 whisper that's down in your, in your fucking, in your, in your, in your wick. 1.00
00:29:08.540 It's that little whisper in your wick. 1.00
00:29:10.360 You know, I think in there, that thing also tells you to rob a bank, rob a bank, sometimes.
00:29:15.740 But let's hear more.
00:29:16.780 So he did rob a bank.
00:29:17.960 Long story short, Theo, I know we're limited.
00:29:20.740 The house gets raided.
00:29:22.960 Helicopters, ten units, the whole night.
00:29:27.080 He finally gives himself up after a couple of hours. 1.00
00:29:30.300 Comes out smoking a cigarette like a fucking G. 1.00
00:29:34.320 Hands down. 1.00
00:29:35.960 You know, not even obeying command.
00:29:38.700 Nothing.
00:29:39.420 Dogs barking.
00:29:40.360 Helicopter, smoking a cigarette, putting his hands up, taking the cigarette out, putting
00:29:47.980 it down, walking. 0.99
00:29:49.160 And I remember looking at this from across the street like, what the fuck? 1.00
00:29:54.220 Black people do not get nervous, my man. 1.00
00:29:58.860 Wow.
00:30:00.420 I mean, look, that's a firsthand account.
00:30:04.000 First of all, one helicopter would make me nervous, you know.
00:30:07.920 It definitely would piss me off if I'm trying to sleep.
00:30:10.360 And I've had that happen many times here in Los Angeles.
00:30:13.340 But that's for real.
00:30:15.620 You heard him.
00:30:17.820 Talking about that robber, Keith, that bank robber.
00:30:20.440 When brothers be bank robbering, they still don't be getting nervous.
00:30:24.200 Man, that's wild.
00:30:25.980 Set the cigarette down.
00:30:27.740 Oh, you think I'm nervous?
00:30:30.540 Street, hold my cigarette.
00:30:33.320 Let's hear more.
00:30:35.200 Hey, Theo.
00:30:35.900 This is Derek from Washington State.
00:30:38.640 Hey, Derek.
00:30:39.440 Washington State, dude.
00:30:40.740 Good place to be.
00:30:41.680 You can open your mouth and clean water will just fall in it sometimes.
00:30:46.540 Onward.
00:30:47.520 Colin.
00:30:49.220 Yeah, I had a couple of black friends.
00:30:52.740 Find that hard to believe in your neck of the woods, but let's hear more.
00:30:55.700 I'm just joking, brother.
00:30:56.680 Onward.
00:30:57.240 When I was in the Army, and let me tell you, when I saw, when we were in Afghanistan, I saw 0.99
00:31:03.160 a couple of nervous black guys, and they were fucking nervous as hell. 0.97
00:31:07.120 Well, I appreciate that, man. 0.97
00:31:10.200 Hey, thank you for your service, dude.
00:31:11.740 I think people that serve in the military should be able, that their votes should count for
00:31:15.440 one and a quarter votes.
00:31:18.060 That's just a thought of mine.
00:31:19.820 You know, people can think whatever they want about their own thoughts.
00:31:22.580 You know, if you don't think that their votes should count for one and a quarter votes,
00:31:26.040 that's fine.
00:31:26.800 I'm okay with you don't think that.
00:31:28.740 But thank you for your service, dude.
00:31:30.160 I appreciate it.
00:31:30.820 Braver man than I.
00:31:33.600 Yeah, there you go.
00:31:34.660 Well, and that's frontline stuff.
00:31:35.980 You know, you're talking about Afghanistan, you're talking about being in a real place
00:31:38.960 where there is real, you know, and that's a unique fear that we can't replicate.
00:31:45.380 You know, I can't replicate that fear on Halloween.
00:31:49.060 You know, that's not a fear that we can replicate easily, you know, by letting a mouse, you know,
00:31:55.560 sharpening up a mouse's teeth and letting them loose, you know, at the cotillion or letting
00:32:00.500 them loose at the, you know, at grandma's house.
00:32:03.580 You know, that's something, that's not something we can easily replicate, you know, creating
00:32:07.400 a war environment, creating a, um, a defending America environment, creating being in a foreign 0.96
00:32:13.540 land environment.
00:32:14.520 So then that makes me think there's certain environments where it doesn't matter, race,
00:32:21.620 ethnicity, culture, that, that, um, well, I think culture could play more of a part though.
00:32:26.980 Because when I think about the black dudes that I grew up with, I would not think they 0.97
00:32:31.660 got nervous.
00:32:32.500 When I think about some of the black dudes I see now, you know, definitely seem a little 1.00
00:32:38.820 bit more nervy, you know, you know, more chill, like, you know, a lot of, you know, just mixed 1.00
00:32:45.880 black dudes, a lot of, you know, more nerves, more nerves, dude. 1.00
00:32:50.700 Um, and maybe that comes with just some of these, you know, some, finally some black 1.00
00:32:56.440 people being able to be raised in places where they have less, you know, they're not
00:32:59.720 under the affliction of constant anxiety because of their race, you know, that could be it.
00:33:06.020 Or, you know, black kids growing up in, um, you know, statistically better homes and stuff
00:33:10.900 like that, or having more opportunity, you know, maybe it's not that, um, you know, maybe
00:33:16.540 they're not so defense, maybe there's not like a defense going on.
00:33:22.060 I don't know.
00:33:22.900 I mean, I'm brainstorming here, but I appreciate that call.
00:33:25.260 And thank you again for your service.
00:33:26.340 Let's hear more.
00:33:26.900 We've got a couple more.
00:33:29.120 Hey, Theo, this is, uh, Ty from Texas.
00:33:32.480 Hey, Ty.
00:33:33.100 And, uh, I just wanted to share this story about a time that a black friend of mine did
00:33:37.600 get nervous and, uh, I was the cause actually.
00:33:41.520 Ooh, old Ty, old, the old Tynado, dude.
00:33:46.140 Let's hear more, Ty.
00:33:46.960 Thank you.
00:33:47.920 My, uh, this black friend, he enjoyed his marijuana, you see, and he, uh, he was brothers
00:33:51.900 on that leaf.
00:33:53.400 And look, I tell you this, a brother, I seen a brother one time just smoke a whole joint,
00:34:00.180 smoke a whole joint and then get on a balance beam.
00:34:06.680 And I don't even know if I know a white man who could do that.
00:34:11.240 Let's hear some more.
00:34:12.240 I was smoking a little bit one time.
00:34:13.640 I was hanging out with him and we were watching TV.
00:34:16.560 And, uh, I stood up to go grab a drink out of the kitchen and on my way midway, I stopped
00:34:22.040 because something interesting had happened on the TV.
00:34:24.600 And then I was just standing there in the middle of the room.
00:34:26.860 Well, he looked up at me and he goes, Hey man, what you doing?
00:34:30.960 I was like, what?
00:34:31.980 He goes, what are you doing over there?
00:34:33.520 Making me nervous.
00:34:34.960 I was like, why am I making you nervous, man?
00:34:36.540 I'm just going to get a drink out of the kitchen.
00:34:37.800 He goes, I don't know, man. 1.00
00:34:39.220 When white people stand up like that, that's how shootings and shit start happening. 0.99
00:34:42.640 And I thought it was hilarious at the time, but that is both the time that a black friend 1.00
00:34:47.240 of mine got nervous and had some real shit, bro. 0.99
00:34:51.600 Whenever a white guy stands up, you got to think about a gun popping out these days. 0.99
00:34:57.240 Anyway, thanks. 0.84
00:34:58.660 Yeah.
00:34:59.160 Well, I appreciate that, man.
00:35:00.460 I don't know if, uh, you know, I don't know if we're in a white guy, since you have, if
00:35:04.520 you have a gun popping out these days, I don't know.
00:35:06.780 You know, the last line, yeah, it was some, sure.
00:35:09.400 I mean, I think, you know, everybody got guns, you know, people have guns for sure.
00:35:14.780 Uh, but no, I think that's interesting, dude. 0.93
00:35:16.680 And maybe that goes back to, yeah, it's like fast moving white people that could make black 0.97
00:35:23.780 people nervous, you know, that can make black people nervous. 0.90
00:35:28.100 And a lot of this also, you know, if you live in, uh, Beverly Hills, this conversation might
00:35:33.920 not even make any sense to you.
00:35:35.200 If you've always grown up in Beverly Hills, or if you've always grown up in, you know,
00:35:40.840 some fancy neighborhood in Seattle, you know, where your neighborhood is mostly white people, 0.87
00:35:47.040 maybe a couple of Asian people, you know, I mean, a lot of these thoughts, I think, and
00:35:53.280 a lot of my own personal relationship to this conversation came from my own environment,
00:36:00.340 you know, and that was more of a poverty environment.
00:36:03.340 Um, more of a, uh, racially tense overall, you would assume racially tense the South, um,
00:36:13.520 more of a rural environment, not as much Southern because, you know, um, you know, they didn't
00:36:19.680 have any rebel flags in our neighborhood, you know, but more of a tense and, you know, uh,
00:36:25.200 more of a Southern environment, but yeah, that could be something that makes black guys nervous.
00:36:28.640 So I, you know, I now just feel, I feel like we got to make that, obviously the next thing
00:36:34.760 is we have to get, uh, some black opinions, some opinions from African-American mixed guys,
00:36:39.860 uh, Blasian.
00:36:41.320 I'm going to hit a couple of dudes up and see what's going on. 0.98
00:36:43.540 Uh, some friends of mine and see if I can get them to call in and I can give those on
00:36:46.740 the upcoming episode, but thank you for that call.
00:36:49.000 All right, let's hear a little bit, a little bit more.
00:36:50.760 Theo, bro, this is Matt from Cleveland.
00:36:54.640 Uh, your boy, One-Legged Patrick had a couple of good points about things that make black 1.00
00:36:59.140 people nervous.
00:37:00.720 And, uh, One-Legged Patrick is the dude who called in on, um, this past Monday episode,
00:37:05.280 uh, the episode on the 13th.
00:37:07.540 And he referenced a conversation that I had on the fighter and the kid, which, which is
00:37:11.440 what kind of spurned this whole conversation.
00:37:13.620 So, uh, yeah, he had some good points.
00:37:15.300 Let's hear more.
00:37:15.900 Thank you for calling.
00:37:16.420 He, he beat me to the paternity test one, but, uh, two things off the bat that come 0.96
00:37:23.020 to mind that black people get extremely nervous about dogs. 0.97
00:37:27.560 I don't know why, but anytime you see any kind of dog around a black person, they get nervous. 0.98
00:37:34.240 And second, any swimming pool that is deeper than they are tall. 0.96
00:37:41.480 Yeah.
00:37:42.100 I mean, those are some, yeah, dogs for sure. 0.94
00:37:44.420 When I was growing up, they had, you know, in some neighborhoods, you know, black, black
00:37:50.360 families had one type of dogs or two or three different types of dogs.
00:37:53.480 And then white family had other types of dogs, you know, black families have more defense 0.84
00:37:57.640 dogs and white families have more, uh, peacetime dogs, you know, dogs that weren't, um, on active
00:38:04.680 duty, you know, dogs that were more like in the national guard, you know, whereas black 0.93
00:38:08.940 men, black families have more dogs that were, uh, Rottweilers, pit bulls, more aggressive 1.00
00:38:14.260 type dogs, um, which made me so nervous, you know, and I don't know if that was part of
00:38:20.980 it.
00:38:21.140 Maybe it was, you know, at those times and we're talking in, when I was growing up, we're
00:38:25.380 talking eight late, early nineties, you know, or mid nineties, you know, and that's a, you
00:38:31.160 know, a time when there was not, you didn't see much black wealth in America.
00:38:35.220 You saw a lot more disparity, you know, the only wealthy black men I ever even saw and
00:38:41.820 not even personally were, um, in that movie coming to America or were athletes.
00:38:48.980 Uh, and you know, that, that's, that was my truth that I saw, you know?
00:38:55.400 Um, but yeah, the dog thing was definitely true.
00:38:59.120 And then a lot of black neighborhoods didn't have pools, you know?
00:39:02.700 So I think pools were more of like a white person type of country club type of thing.
00:39:06.920 Like I remember my buddy Devin, his family got, um, one of those big kind of cistern things 1.00
00:39:12.540 and we would bathe out there, you know, we'd swim out there, kind of just fill it up with
00:39:16.440 water.
00:39:17.880 And yeah, black kids, I remember him and his sisters and everybody got, we'd definitely
00:39:21.580 kind of get nervous in the water, have fun, but be nervous because I think they just didn't
00:39:26.540 spend as much time in it.
00:39:28.480 They weren't as used to it, you know?
00:39:30.760 Um, so that's interesting though.
00:39:34.540 Do black people get nervous?
00:39:35.880 And I would remember that while, cause sometimes we would, you know, like bathe, sometimes his
00:39:40.800 mom would bring out the shampoo and we'd all bathe out in the cistern thing in the yard.
00:39:45.200 And, you know, we were kids, you know, so we weren't doing nothing perverse, but people
00:39:48.920 had their genitalia around, you know, you could see, you know, if he was looking downward,
00:39:53.080 you could probably see some different genitalias.
00:39:55.080 And, and it was, it was definitely a little bit unique.
00:39:59.620 You know, I remember that was unique, um, because we, because they would, him and his
00:40:04.080 sisters would get nervous and his little brother would get nervous when the water was on them.
00:40:08.800 So that's one thing.
00:40:10.040 So maybe some of this goes down to comfortability, you know, but why in a general way did a lot
00:40:16.480 of my black friends not seem nervous?
00:40:18.640 I think it's time for me to get them to call in.
00:40:20.460 And I tried this week, um, you know, one of them didn't want to deal with the hotline.
00:40:25.840 So I'm going to reach out to, uh, to a couple more and see if I can just get it done quicker.
00:40:31.020 Um, this was a fast turnaround, uh, and I'm not used to doing this Thursday episode, but
00:40:35.440 I was happy to do it this week.
00:40:37.000 Uh, but those are some good calls.
00:40:38.560 Those are some things we had in response.
00:40:40.080 Uh, I appreciate everybody for calling in, hitting the hotline, 985-664-9503.
00:40:47.820 Um, you know, assuming what happens over my weekend or in the world, you know, on, on the
00:40:53.540 Monday episode, ideally I'd like to think about, you know, what's going on with men these days
00:40:58.880 and the, and the fear that, that is out there, you know, some of this response to the Louis
00:41:03.860 CK, I might put that up separately, uh, in the next couple of days if I can, or I might
00:41:08.660 address it on Monday.
00:41:11.220 Um, but yeah, it's a wild time.
00:41:14.280 It's a unique time in the world.
00:41:17.000 Um, and that's something to be embraced, you know, uh, that's something that's cool.
00:41:21.980 I think we're at a time now where we all are able to talk about things.
00:41:27.200 Now, some outlets, some environments, you know, I reference the news and stuff a lot,
00:41:32.100 but I don't think that they want us to find comfortability as humans.
00:41:36.380 I think that a lot of these, because if you look at two different networks, they don't
00:41:40.220 even have the same news.
00:41:42.380 So how can it be news?
00:41:44.420 It's not news.
00:41:45.880 It's all opinion. 1.00
00:41:47.340 I used to love yahoo.com and that website has gone to shit. 1.00
00:41:51.720 It's just a bunch of hateful shit, you know? 1.00
00:41:55.560 And I'm all, I'm all about thinking, but if we just sit here and hate, then something's 1.00
00:41:59.740 that we're not doing something.
00:42:00.960 We're not doing the best service we can, uh, to ourselves, but I appreciate you guys
00:42:05.300 calling hit the hotline nine, eight, five, six, six, four, nine, five, zero, three.
00:42:10.000 It is actually, I want to be completely transparent with you guys.
00:42:13.420 It is, uh, it's a Wednesday night here right now.
00:42:17.800 So I got to get this done and get it posted so I can catch the plane in just a little bit,
00:42:21.900 but be good to yourselves.
00:42:23.880 I, uh, I bet you deserve it.
00:42:25.320 All right.
00:42:25.920 Onward.
00:42:40.620 Celebrate living.
00:42:44.080 Celebrate misery.
00:42:45.920 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite and welcome to Kite Club, a podcast where I'll
