Pon di sound ah di siren — it’s di return ah MI DEH DEH — that’s patois for I WAS THERE™, your (new?) favorite internet radio call-in show. Twinkling like a 7-11 gas-station beacon on a lonely interstate somewhere between Sacramento and… Bloomfield, Indiana?… it’s your boys OSO and POOLHOUSE, two uncs with some funk in the tunk and way too much spunk, coming at you with some REAL TING RADIO!

As is often the case, this episode began as open lines, but it quickly became clear that God’s Plan for Us would be revealed when a recurrent theme emerged — culminating in tonight’s centerpiece:

THE REDEMPTION OF MISS RACHEL (DOLEZAL).

Poolhouse is a longtime Dolezalian stan (and something of a Dolezalian figure himself, tbh), and he and the gang make a surprisingly persuasive case in the ongoing #JusticeForRachel struggle. “SHE DID NOTHING WRONG.” Will 2026 be the year of the post-racialist mystery-meat nationalists?

Also: tensions escalate between Oso and Film Twitter — but can he depend on the I WAS THERE gang for backup? Indie sleaze, ice-reggae, X reveals who the true Third-Worldists are, and Poolhouse transwers Oso’s questions about Scott Pressler.

Cock-rocking the vote against bush… on the next I WAS THERE.
