Salute to the patriots! Your boys are back talking that patriotic af bullshit from the Liberty Lounge! Drew brought through his new lady friend La’Nese Wright so of course we made her pick up the mic and participate. If you’re in the room while the patriots get patriotic you best be participating. The boys talk a lot about Kanye (obviously, do we even need to say that talk about Kanye anymore?) They discuss how they both listen to music by becoming obsessed with an artist and consuming their entire catalogue. How do you listen to music?
Here’s your breakdown of this week’s Patriotism:
- Pat and Drew talk about how they’re best friends and it’s pretty fucking cute.
- They talk about the transgender community and how they are misunderstood in the mainstream public.
- Drew got misunderstood on Facebook for posting videos of cops acting fucked up toward the black community.
- The Daily’s take on Baltimore now after Freddie Grey. They investigated the culture of the police in Baltimore and found that the police do not know how to police without force.
- Pat still wants you to get off of social media. He thinks that facebook is destroying society and don’t give a fuck about you.
- The deportation bus rolls in again. We discuss the cultural significance of this making it normal for police and others to hassle minorities.
- Supreme Court in Colorado ruling baker not making cake for a gay wedding.
- Drew realizes Pat is right and we probably should get rid of social media. Pat is very proud of this in retrospect.
- Adults view black girls as less innocent. This is based on an actual survey… Is this a difference in how cultures raise their children?
- This has been the week of suicide. Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain… rest in peace. Google, Apples, Amazon, etc are going to try to make their smart speakers be able to detect when someone is suicidal. Is this too far for technology to go?
- Pat talks about his time volunteering at the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Hotline.
- Kim Kardashian got Alice Johnson released. It is GREAT that this happened., but it takes Kim K to make trump do something decent? Fuck you trump.
- Ye and Cudi are good for each other and balance each other out. Pat and Drew realize this is why they’re such good friends and brand themselves as “The Ye & Cudi of Podcasting”.
- Is it possible that technology is making us have cognitive dissonance culturally and within ourselves? They theorize on how this could be leading to the increase in violence toward others and the rising suicide rate.
- A middle school in PA gives kids bullet proof shields to get them ready for high school. The consensus is: Are you fucking serious?
- They discuss if all schools should have metal detectors. What do you think?
- Trump’s approval rating went up to 44%. Probably because he stopped tweeting so much dumb shit. Thank the courts.
- A man took a knee on the White House Lawn and then left. We salute this true patriot.
We can be positive and make real social change. We can be the change in the world. We need to take back out culture and use our tools to unite each other. We can do it. Give a shit about one another. It’s the most patriotic thing you can do. Peace.
