Introduction

In this episode of Black and White Advice, hosts Turner Sparks and Phil Duckett welcome comedian Wilfred Padua, affectionately known as Wilford Pad, to discuss a variety of topics surrounding race, cultural identity, and personal experiences. The show aims to educate and engage listeners by addressing challenging questions about race, often with humor and candid discussions.

Guest Introduction

[03:00] Turner Sparks:
"We gotta have you on this show because you tried to have me on your show the other day..."

Wilford Padua, a comedian based in New York City, joins the hosts to share his insights and experiences as a Filipino in America. The conversation opens with light-hearted banter about attempting to collaborate on podcasts and the challenges associated with show naming conventions.

Main Discussions

Ethnicity and Racial Identity

[04:26] Wilford Pad:
"There's this conversation that me and Jeff Sheen, my co-host, have been having because I saw this study... 70% of white people said Asians were more like white people, while only 24% of black people felt the same."

The discussion dives into how different racial groups perceive Asians in America, highlighting a study that shows a significant portion of white Americans view Asians as more akin to white people, whereas black Americans are less likely to agree. This leads to a broader conversation about racial identity and perceptions within the community.

Cultural Exchange and Appropriation

[05:58] Phil Duckett:
"We’ve seen how y’all dress. Y’all with our culture... It’s getting real, real chingy."

The hosts explore the influence of African American culture on Asian communities, particularly through elements like breakdancing and fashion. Phil Duckett remarks on how Asians have adopted and adapted aspects of black culture, leading to both appreciation and tension within communities.

Breakdancing and Racial Shifts in Cultural Practices

[06:22] Wilford Pad:
"I used to break dance in high school... no one’s black in it anymore."

The conversation shifts to the evolution of breakdancing, noting a decline in black participants in favor of Asian dancers in certain areas. This shift sparks a discussion about cultural appropriation, changing demographics in cultural practices, and the impact on community identity.

Experiences in Catholic High School

[09:20] Turner Sparks:
"There was an email that went around my high school... five priests from my high school."

Turner Sparks recaps his experience in a predominantly Filipino Catholic high school, detailing the unsettling news about priests involved in misconduct. The hosts discuss the broader implications of institutional failures within religious organizations and their impact on students and communities.

Patreon and Audience Engagement

[17:30] Phil Duckett:
"Subscribe to our [e-mail]/blackandwhiteadvice and subscribe right now."

The hosts promote their Patreon page, encouraging listeners to support the show for exclusive content and early access to episodes. They humorously discuss the perks of different subscriber tiers, including naming rights for their fan club, initially called "Ginger Fire" and later evolving into "Gentrifiers."

Listener Questions and Discussions

Question 1: NBA All-Star Game – Black vs. White Teams

[17:56] Mike from Long Island City:
"Should the NBA All-Star Game just go black people versus white people?"

[18:02] Wilford Pad:
"People are coming around, brother."

The hosts engage in a spirited debate about the feasibility and potential ratings impact of segregating NBA All-Star teams by race. They discuss the complexities of player identities, competitiveness, and the historical context of racial divisions in sports.

Notable Quote:

[31:20] Phil Duckett:
"You'd be crazy to think that we are the only species capable of making life when we are like, we're one small planet in a universe that's a major galaxy. I can assure you there's other going on."

Question 2: Do Black People Believe in Aliens?

[28:23] George from Chevy Chase, Maryland:
"Do black people believe in aliens?"

[29:06] Wilford Pad:
"A lot of my black friends are very into conspiracies."

The discussion explores the prevalence of conspiracy theories within the black community, touching on historical and cultural reasons why beliefs in extraterrestrial life may be more common. The hosts share personal anecdotes and examine the intersection of race and belief systems.

Question 3: Is it Okay for a White Man to Use the N-Word While Rapping?

[34:32] Alexander from Omaha, Nebraska:
"Is it okay for me to say the N-word when I'm rapping along?"

[35:20] Phil Duckett:
"I will never give out an N word pass... You got to make your own decisions. Decisions have consequences."

The hosts tackle the sensitive issue of racial slurs, discussing the implications of a white person using the N-word in music. They emphasize respect, the importance of understanding the word's historical context, and the personal responsibility that comes with language use.

White Lies and Dark Truths Segment

[39:55] Joe the Muscle Russell:
"The Jesuits are known as the Society of Jesus... the one drop rule..."

In this segment, Joe the Muscle Russell provides factual clarifications on topics discussed earlier in the episode, including the Jesuit order's role in the Catholic Church and the historical "one drop rule" that defines racial identity based on any African ancestry.

Notable Quote:

[40:34] Phil Duckett:
"That's what I'M saying the one drop. One drop. You got one in your family. You black as fuck."

Conclusion

The episode wraps up with the hosts reiterating the importance of engaging with difficult questions about race and identity. They encourage listeners to subscribe to their Patreon for more in-depth discussions and exclusive content.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, I didn't.

[Phil Duckett]

I was acting like it's Voldemort or some.

[Turner Sparks]

On this show, It's. It has to do with a country I used to live in.

Yeah. He walked into the room and he's like, oh, fuck.

[Turner Sparks]

Imagine planning out your whole day. I'm gonna go. I go to the. The studio, you know? You did you still do it? No, I didn't do it.

[Wilford Pad]

You know, what I wanted to do was have him on the podcast and have him wear a black bag over his head.

[Turner Sparks]

The unknown.

[Phil Duckett]

Let me tell you what these are really about.

[Turner Sparks]

So I just couldn't do the show. So we sat down and we just talked about, like, tick tock and stuff.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, we hung out for.

[Turner Sparks]

We hung out for, like, an hour. I'm like, I'm so sorry. I literally can't do this.

[Phil Duckett]

So when are we going?

[Turner Sparks]

Well, we. Now that I didn't do this podcast. We can go anytime.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, we need to do a live show over there.

[Turner Sparks]

Live show in Shanghai would be.

[Wilford Pad]

I will not be there.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah. Based on the name of your show, I don't think.

[Phil Duckett]

What's your ethnicity?

[Wilford Pad]

Filipino.

[Phil Duckett]

Oh, you want the cool ones?

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, sure. Thank you. Thank you for that. Appreciate it.

[Phil Duckett]

I fought with him the most.

[Turner Sparks]

What is that?

[Phil Duckett]

One of the cool ones, you know, because, you know, like, the lighter ones, they'd be a little more bougie, a little more racist. They call y'all the jungle Asians.

[Wilford Pad]

Yes.

[Phil Duckett]

So you like. You like one of us? You.

[Wilford Pad]

So here. Actually, you know, there's this conversation that me and Jeff Sheen, my co host, have been having because I saw this study, and in the study, they. They were. They were trying to figure out whether or not people thought Asians were more like white people or if their experience in America was more like other people of color. 70% guess. How about you guys guess?

[Phil Duckett]

Japanese and Chinese are like, I feel white.

[Wilford Pad]

Well, they asked if you non Asians.

[Turner Sparks]

Oh, remember Patrice O'Neill had that bit?

[Wilford Pad]

Yes.

[Turner Sparks]

Where he goes, america was black people and white people. And then Mexicans came and Asians came, and the Asians picked white and the Mexicans picked black.

[Phil Duckett]

I like that. That's pretty funny. I've heard that.

[Wilford Pad]

So here's what I want. I want you guys to guess. 70% of black or white. Which one. 70% of this demographic said that Asians were more like white people.

[Turner Sparks]

I would say black people said that Asians are more like white people.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, that's what I would agree.

[Turner Sparks]

I would say white people also said the same thing.

[Wilford Pad]

No, white people said 70. 70% of white people said that they.

[Turner Sparks]

Were like white people said Asians were like white people.

[Wilford Pad]

And then black people. It was like 24% said that they were more like white people.

[Phil Duckett]

So we. We with.

[Wilford Pad]

So you guys took us in.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah. And we knew. Trust me, I've seen how y'all dress. Y'all with our culture. They even started doing cornrows over there in certain parts of. It's getting real, real chingy.

[Wilford Pad]

We. We took break dancing from you guys. Like, you guys.

[Phil Duckett]

The way. Yeah, everything y'all like, you know, the way y'all talking. Like, I've seen some gangsta ass Asian. I'm like, that's Ricky Tan, son. That gangster as hell. No, you know, it's just one of the things. I like it, but I've heard. I've seen the difference. And I've heard other Asians be like, well, you know, like Filipino Vietnamese considered jungle agents, which means they're kind of mistreated by lighter Asians.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, yeah. But it's. I think it goes both directions.

[Phil Duckett]

Y'all don't. With them neither.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, yeah. Asians as like, it's such a huge continent that every country hates someone in it.

[Phil Duckett]

Gotcha. You got beef. You got to op somewhere.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

Okay.

[Turner Sparks]

Remember the breakdancing? The Olympics?

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah. Laser, the white.

[Turner Sparks]

What was her name?

[Phil Duckett]

That's my Laser.

[Turner Sparks]

So I remember. I don't know if you actually watch the full thing, but the Japanese people were by far the best in the. For some reason, there was no black.

[Phil Duckett]

People, which was a dance competition.

[Turner Sparks]

It was just like, nothing dance competition.

[Phil Duckett]

They want one, brother.

[Turner Sparks]

It was like whites and Asians.

[Phil Duckett]

All the judges wore durags and kangos. It was a mockery.

[Wilford Pad]

I used to break dance in high school.

[Turner Sparks]

Okay.

[Wilford Pad]

So I'm like. And I still have it pop up pretty frequently on Instagram. No one's black in it anymore.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, it's.

[Turner Sparks]

Did black people stop break dancing?

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, a while ago after Run dmc. After that happened.

[Wilford Pad]

Like, I. Because when I was in high school, this is, like, early 2000s, there were barely any black people break dancing there. Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

No, my high school. The Asians were all break dancing.

[Wilford Pad]

Yes.

[Phil Duckett]

What do you mean? Like, there was, like, cardboard on the ground. They would just, like, battle it out.

[Turner Sparks]

I think. Maybe, I don't know. We both. I went to Catholic high school. You went to Catholic.

[Wilford Pad]

Yes.

[Turner Sparks]

Right.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

So west coast Catholic high school is, like, mostly Filipino.

[Wilford Pad]

Seattle. Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah. There's.

[Wilford Pad]

Man, Phil, how do you not listen to a word I've said in our friendship?

[Phil Duckett]

We have a lot going on.

[Wilford Pad]

We've done podcasts together where we had to talk for an hour. And I'm sure I said all of these details.

[Phil Duckett]

I've done hundreds of podcasts. That is. That's not fair. Sometimes I'm just, like, hearing things. But I, I, I didn't know. I didn't know.

[Wilford Pad]

Well, I knew, Phil. I knew you were black the whole time. I was.

[Phil Duckett]

Oh, yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

Your first question was, what? What? What type of Asian are you? Right.

[Phil Duckett]

Where am I from?

[Wilford Pad]

A Carolina.

[Phil Duckett]

Damn.

[Turner Sparks]

Hey, that's good.

[Wilford Pad]

It's a Carolina, though.

[Phil Duckett]

Both. I'm grew up in both.

[Wilford Pad]

But yes, Carolina.

[Phil Duckett]

North Carolina. But damn. He. I mean, I'm sorry, Wilfred. That was so disrespectful to me. I'm like, so you know everything about me.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah. So anyway, the Asians at my high school, like, it was at my school, I think 30.

[Wilford Pad]

You went to all boys high school, too?

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesuit high school.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

What's Jesuit mean?

[Turner Sparks]

It's this denomination of the Catholics. It's a ver. It's a.

[Phil Duckett]

It's like Jewish, Catholic.

[Wilford Pad]

They were. They're kind of. The Jesuits are like, start With j.

[Turner Sparks]

They were the Catholic priests that were into education.

[Wilford Pad]

Yes, they're a little bit more education.

[Turner Sparks]

And they were pretty.

[Phil Duckett]

Like, which ones do the fondling?

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, there. That's all over.

[Turner Sparks]

That's everybody.

[Wilford Pad]

You can't.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, that's everybody. Did you get the email?

[Wilford Pad]

What do you know, like a five.

[Phil Duckett]

Ten years ago, y'all maybe owed some money?

[Turner Sparks]

No, unfortunately.

[Phil Duckett]

Unfortunately, there's what Papa Francis did to y'all. Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

There was no payout out, unfortunately. But there was an email that went around my high school. You know, the school sent to my high school maybe like 10 years ago. I don't know. Five, 10 years ago. And it was like, hey, just letting everybody know. Tomorrow there's gonna be a news report in the Boston Globe. Some of the names you might recognize. The priests who.

[Phil Duckett]

So you knew some of the priests that got caught up.

[Turner Sparks]

And there were five. Five priests from my high school.

[Wilford Pad]

Wow.

[Phil Duckett]

That guy hit in the RICO.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah. Over the course of, like 30 years, you know, I think one or two.

[Wilford Pad]

That's actually pretty. That's very innocent numbers.

[Turner Sparks]

And it's not bad for a Catholic Church. Five and 30 years is pretty low.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

So there was two there when I was there, though.

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, okay.

[Turner Sparks]

And one of the guys, one of.

[Phil Duckett]

The priests, you knew he was a pervert.

[Turner Sparks]

I knew he was off. He hated me because I wasn't Catholic. He hated any non Catholic, but he loved the Catholic kids. And he. They were all like. He made them kind of fight over being teacher's pet, you know what I mean? And me and Davood Mezbah. He could not.

[Phil Duckett]

Why was Davu there?

[Turner Sparks]

I don't know. David's parents got mixed up and sent him to.

[Phil Duckett]

Thought it was a Hindu school.

[Turner Sparks]

And I was just a Protestant. But to him, me and David were equally going to hell. Right, Right.

[Phil Duckett]

And he couldn't. No kid going to hell. I think.

[Turner Sparks]

Well, I think he realized that he had no control over.

[Wilford Pad]

You think that's what his line is. He's like this kid. Hell. Hell might be an std. I'll catch from this kid.

[Turner Sparks]

Morals. Listen, there was a line, right?

[Phil Duckett]

His soul is damned. I can't. That. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Turner Sparks]

But in reality, I think he knew that he had no power over us.

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

Do you know what I mean?

[Phil Duckett]

Because y'all didn't fear the Catholic because.

[Turner Sparks]

He'S not like, hey, if you're really good, you could be an altar boy next week. Like, we don't want to be the altar boy. But the other kids, man, I Don't know what happened. Somewhere it went sideways somewhere we definitely went insideways. Yeah.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

Oh, gross. Do you know anything with your school or. No, you didn't get that email?

[Wilford Pad]

I guess you mean my high school.

[Turner Sparks]

By the way, I still love my high school. I, I, they've, they've, you know, cleaned.

[Phil Duckett]

Donated some money to them.

[Turner Sparks]

I have in the past.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, me too.

[Turner Sparks]

I love my, they're super supportive of me. I did stand up there like a year ago. They had me come back and do stand up for the alumni, like a fundraiser thing for parents, all that stuff.

[Phil Duckett]

My high school is shame to me. It's a very, very we private school in South Carolina. And I don't know if I've panned out.

[Turner Sparks]

As you're drinking a 40.

[Phil Duckett]

I don't understand why they wouldn't choose me. Seems racist.

[Turner Sparks]

You're not the shining example.

[Phil Duckett]

You went to grad school.

[Turner Sparks]

You got more education than I do.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

You got, yeah. Grad school education.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, I went to grad school at Miami of Ohio.

[Wilford Pad]

You finish it?

[Phil Duckett]

No, I'm nine hours away from my masters.

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, really?

[Phil Duckett]

Nine hours?

[Turner Sparks]

I bang that out on the pot.

[Phil Duckett]

We probably could honestly patreon level if.

[Turner Sparks]

We, we'll have different professors, dude.

[Phil Duckett]

If we hit a thousand, Phil finishes his graduation.

[Turner Sparks]

Yes.

[Phil Duckett]

There we go. I would be so mad if the money started. I was like, nah, that I would be so pissed.

[Wilford Pad]

It still wouldn't be enough money to cover the classes. Yeah, a book is 600 and what's it for?

[Turner Sparks]

Nine credits.

[Wilford Pad]

Sports management. I have my age.

[Phil Duckett]

I wanted to be a sports agent. I thought that's. And Miami of Ohio has a great kinesiology programs on the top. And the sports management was in that program. So sports marketing and management and. Yeah, and I was so close. And truth be told, I've never told anybody this. Nine hours away, they kicked me out. My, I started losing focus. My GPA dropped to a 2.9. You had to maintain a 3.0.

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, okay.

[Phil Duckett]

I was on a scholarship, so I had to maintain the 3 0. And I was like, well, if I got to pay for this, I'm not finishing.

[Wilford Pad]

Were you like a really good student?

[Phil Duckett]

Horrible student. Just I'm intelligent. So like when I, when I want to do it, I can do it. Like I can cut it on and get it done, but like I'm always going to procrastinate on the research paper. Like I had like actual. I taught college courses when I was there. I was a grad assistant, so I.

[Turner Sparks]

Had to teach professor Phil Duck.

[Phil Duckett]

I taught college courses at Miami of Ohio, and guess what class. Guess what class they made me teacher. Never believe it. What? Power walking. I was a power walking teacher.

[Turner Sparks]

You were a P.E.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah. P.E. but I did only power walking. I didn't do P.E. i had a power walking class. So I mostly had seniors who needed a credit to graduate or, like, incoming freshmen who needed a PE Course. And so I was. I was like, the coolest fucking teacher, too.

[Turner Sparks]

Power walking is all about the hips.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah. You cannot. Like, you actually. It's almost like running, but if you're. If you're heel and toe are off the ground at the same time, you're just qualified. So they have to. It has to be walking, but the way they do it. And I show YouTube videos of people passing out at the Olympics.

[Wilford Pad]

Power.

[Phil Duckett]

I was like, look at this pussy.

[Turner Sparks]

See his forms messed up.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, look at that.

[Turner Sparks]

I saw that in the Olympics. I went to the Olympics. We watched power.

[Phil Duckett]

I was a power.

[Turner Sparks]

That was.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

My question for today is, do black people power walk?

[Phil Duckett]

There were. There were a couple of anomalies.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

When does it become a run, though?

[Phil Duckett]

Once. Once. Your foot. So your. Your foot. Your foot. You cannot have the foot off the ground. Like, so either the heel or the toe has to be touching around at all times, but they can never both be off the ground at the same time. Wow. Yeah. So it was pretty cool.

[Turner Sparks]

So there's a real, like, rhythm.

[Phil Duckett]

There's actually. Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah. If we hit a thousand, we're getting you your. Your graduate degree.

[Phil Duckett]

No, you're not. Dude. Get the fuck. Well, I'm not. I'm gonna have to transfer my credits, and that means I'd probably be further.

[Turner Sparks]

All you homeowners have unique needs. Some feel the need to paint their door a vibrant shade of blue. Others have the need to decorate their bathroom with fish anchors and other nautical items. And because each homeowner has unique needs, Geico helps you get the right coverage.

[Wilford Pad]

For your home and what's in it.

[Turner Sparks]

That way, you get exactly what's right for you, even if your needs are unique. Get more with Geico from 9 because we'll get to get people to come in here and teach you on the show.

[Phil Duckett]

Dude, imagine. Oh, man, that'd be.

[Wilford Pad]

Maybe this will be good enough. This podcast will blow up, and then they'll get. You'll be like an honorary.

[Turner Sparks]

Honorary.

[Phil Duckett]

I get my honorary doctorate, like Dr. Oh, and I'm Dr. Phil. I would literally put that on everything.

[Turner Sparks]

Like Dr. Bill Cosby.

[Phil Duckett]

I was like, well, I'm a doctor? Yeah, I'm that. I'm like, well, I am a doctor.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Honorary degree. All of a sudden, you're giving the graduation.

[Phil Duckett]

Somebody passes out in a restaurant. Is there a doctor? I was like, I don't know.

[Wilford Pad]

That'd be so funny. You're like, hey, so you got to bring me up as Dr. Phil Duckett. Dude.

[Turner Sparks]

I was out in Long Island. I don't know if I told this on the show already, but I was in Long island, you know, have you guys done comedy out there? Like, the Governor's Comedy Club? So there's a whole world of, like, older comedians out there, right? And one of the guys, they were telling me they were talking about this one guy, and they're like, this one guy's a. His. His character is. He's a doctor, like a medical doctor. That's his act, but he's not actually a doctor. You know how there's, like, the policeman comic, but usually those guys are retired police officers. So this guy's whole thing is he's a retired doctor, but he's never been a doctor. And they were like, yeah, one of these shows, like, a month ago, somebody passed out in the club, and he's on stage, and they're like, we need a doctor. We need a doctor. And he had to drop the act and be like, oh, forget about. Not a real doctor.

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, man.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, they were like, it was over.

[Phil Duckett]

They were like this fucking jerk off.

[Turner Sparks]

All right, should we get to the questions?

[Phil Duckett]

We should, because I'm interested to see how the Vietnamese think.

[Turner Sparks]

We got a lot of black and white advice questions coming up right after. Did you say you think he's Vietnamese?

[Phil Duckett]

Filipino.

[Turner Sparks]

There we go. Wilfred's like, I've known you for a decade. You were my old roommate. We live together.

[Phil Duckett]

My bad.

[Turner Sparks]

My sister married your brother. We're related.

[Phil Duckett]

He's Vietnamese. Nope. It just hit me.

[Turner Sparks]

We'll be right back with your black and white advice questions after the break. Hey, you want to get bonus content early episodes, and have your questions answered on the show?

[Phil Duckett]

Well, then subscribe to our [e-mail] blackandwhiteadvice and subscribe right now.

[Turner Sparks]

Do it, and we'll give you a shout out on a future episode.

[Phil Duckett]

And I might call you the N word.

[Turner Sparks]

All right, we're back with your black and white advice questions and answers. First question comes from Mike in Long Island City, New York. He want, he says, to improve ratings, should the NBA All Star Game just go black people versus white people?

[Phil Duckett]

Oh, wow. Well, I mean, I know the All Star Game sucks lately, but we want it to still be competitive. No, we couldn't do that.

[Wilford Pad]

Why? People coming around, brother.

[Phil Duckett]

White people are coming around. Okay, you got one. Luka Doncic. Okay, you got Jokic, Austin Reeves, you got Caruso. Do you put them against all the black people? They're still going to get cooked. All right. Yes. Are they the reincarnation of Jerry. Jerry West?

[Wilford Pad]

Okay.

[Phil Duckett]

And Pistol Pete?

[Wilford Pad]

Let me ask you a question. What do you do with a Steph Curry?

[Phil Duckett]

What do you mean? Are y'all joking me right now? Stephen Curry's a brother. Don't ever be disrespectful. His daddy black and his mama black.

[Wilford Pad]

She's white.

[Phil Duckett]

His mama is not white. She's mixed.

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, really?

[Turner Sparks]

Is his dad mixed?

[Phil Duckett]

No. So first of what I have almost. It is full.

[Wilford Pad]

Okay?

[Phil Duckett]

Now let me tell you, even in slavery times, 25, one drop. It was the one drop rule. One drop. That made you something. 20. If you were 20 black, you was considered black. But at least he's black as. Don't do that.

[Wilford Pad]

At some point, they updated it to the paper bag rule.

[Phil Duckett]

No, they didn't. That's the only fair.

[Turner Sparks]

What's that rule?

[Phil Duckett]

That's not even a paper bag rule. Is what the sorority Alpha Kappa Alphas used to use to deny you from.

[Wilford Pad]

Their sorority if you're any darker than a paper.

[Turner Sparks]

Oh, my God.

[Phil Duckett]

You can't really. Yeah, it was. So colorism is a real thing in the black community. Light skinned black people always talk shit about black. Dark skin. Dark skin. I talk shit about light skin. It's a real thing.

[Wilford Pad]

Okay, okay, let's go back. What about like if Blake Griffin in his prime? What?

[Phil Duckett]

Blake Griffin is black. What the fuck does. Are we half okay and we still go by slave rules? Again, the one. There's no such thing. So you're.

[Turner Sparks]

So you get. So if there was a black team versus white team, the black. Anyone that's like 1% black would be drafted to the black team.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, for sure. If their hair is. If their. Her.

[Turner Sparks]

I don't know if that's.

[Phil Duckett]

If they got that curl in their hair, as your white people call it. If they have that nap. He's a.

[Turner Sparks]

Okay, Phil. I. Okay, but so who.

[Phil Duckett]

Who's not. Who's not really black to you? Like, what? What? What?

[Turner Sparks]

No, no, not the not really black. It's the question of like. All right, first of all, let's go back to just the game.

[Phil Duckett]

I didn't make the slavery rules. Y'all made them. All right, this the one drop rule. Joe can look that up at the end. Y'all the one driver.

[Turner Sparks]

I mean, I specifically made them.

[Phil Duckett]

Hey, listen, okay. Skin folk kinfolk is your cousins. They made the rules.

[Turner Sparks]

All right, well, in that case, there still are white people in the NBA. I'm. I think the question was more about ratings. Would more people watch? If this is the game? I think the questions. The answer is unquestionably yes. No one watches the NBA All Star Game now.

[Phil Duckett]

It's trash.

[Turner Sparks]

Literally no one think if they only.

[Phil Duckett]

Said black versus white. You have to be full blooded white for sure.

[Turner Sparks]

More people would.

[Phil Duckett]

It'd be a very dangerous game. Game.

[Turner Sparks]

That's not the question. Oh, the question is when more people watch.

[Wilford Pad]

That is actually. Yes, absolutely.

[Phil Duckett]

Great question then. Yes.

[Turner Sparks]

The question is, what for one year, for one, like, if he was still around.

[Phil Duckett]

That's not a thing.

[Wilford Pad]

Well, there's that little. That little Japanese guy.

[Phil Duckett]

Oh, yeah, the new one on Memphis.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

Were you a huge Jeremy Lynn guy?

[Wilford Pad]

No, I. I think there was a part of me that was like, you.

[Phil Duckett]

Wanted him to fail?

[Wilford Pad]

No, I was jealous.

[Phil Duckett]

Like, this should be me.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, I was like. I wanted to be like. Because I wanted. I wanted to. I used to.

[Phil Duckett]

Okay.

[Wilford Pad]

My knees are too sensitive these days. But yeah, I was. I think I was a little jealous of that. He broke the. The glass ceiling for us.

[Turner Sparks]

Who would. So who would be the Filipino? I guess the number one athlete packing?

[Phil Duckett]

Manny Packy. I was not even close.

[Wilford Pad]

But you know what we're doing right now is we're claiming a lot of half black, half Filipinos because y'all.

[Phil Duckett]

Because y'all get down with the nest quick.

[Turner Sparks]

Jordan Clarkson.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's one of them, right?

[Phil Duckett]

He's Filipino and black.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

What about Hachimura? Oh, that's Japanese. He's black and Japanese.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, yeah, he's black Japanese. Well, you got.

[Phil Duckett]

But y'all are starting to really. With blacks. Y'all starting to really open up.

[Wilford Pad]

I think. Honestly, I think it's both you guys have been.

[Phil Duckett]

No, we've always thought y'all was kind of bad. You know, I mean, we always. With exotic women, y'all was just like, they very black, very lazy. And then. Yeah. And now y'all like, oh, no. Y'all with it.

[Wilford Pad]

Well, I mean, it's sometimes like it. Because I think a lot of it is like, status for Asians. How do I. How do you move up a rung right in status and to be like a Filipino immigrant, like, With a professional athlete. Well, to be a Filipino immigrant, maybe black might help you out because it. You help you, like, integrate faster because you.

[Phil Duckett]

I with y'all.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

I've only had one Asian in my life, so I with y'all because it's different, you know, I mean, I've never really been to the Far East. I'd have been with a couple Indians, though. They was American.

[Wilford Pad]

You probably wouldn't even know what country she's from. I was gonna ask you what kind.

[Phil Duckett]

I know they have the smell. Yeah, I mean, she smelled American. She had a curry smell.

[Wilford Pad]

Well, what kind of. Wait, you. Did you do a Southeast Asian?

[Phil Duckett]

She was from India.

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, you've only done Indian.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, but I'm saying they're like American Indian. Like, they smell good.

[Wilford Pad]

Got it, Got it.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah.

[Wilford Pad]

Okay.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah. Not trying to be rude. I'm just saying. You know what I'm talking about? I'm trying to. You know what I'm talking.

[Turner Sparks]

So the NBA question. Well, agree to disagree. I think the ratings would skyrocket.

[Wilford Pad]

I actually, I think.

[Turner Sparks]

And you're right, there would be. I don't think there'd be as many fights because a lot of these guys are friends with each other. It's not like you're having strangers play against strangers. I think it would be better if.

[Phil Duckett]

There fans would be fighting while the game.

[Turner Sparks]

Oh, it would be American history.

[Phil Duckett]

X. Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

In the crowd.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah. An all white American national team.

[Turner Sparks]

No, that doesn't have to be American. I think all American. They would just get destroyed.

[Phil Duckett]

That's what I thought.

[Turner Sparks]

All white includes, like.

[Phil Duckett]

Oh, you talking about Luca? Yeah, yeah.

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

Okay, that makes more.

[Wilford Pad]

But I think it would be good for. For ratings for like, three years.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, you're right. It's a gimmick.

[Phil Duckett]

While Trump's in office. It'd be a great idea.

[Wilford Pad]

Honestly. No, it might be good forever. Because, look, I. I'm a soccer guy and I root for my team even when we're losing.

[Turner Sparks]

Sure.

[Phil Duckett]

Real Madrid.

[Wilford Pad]

No, I'm an Arsenal fan, but no matter what. So I'm assuming white people are going to root for their team even.

[Turner Sparks]

Even though they're the white team, you mean?

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, like this. The. You're still gonna have white people rooting for the white team no matter what, because even though they're gonna. They're bound to lose.

[Turner Sparks]

Well, it'll. Yeah, but it'll pretty quickly. If they start losing a lot in a row, like 10, it'll go to like, it's on.

[Phil Duckett]

It would have to be competitive. The Whole time.

[Turner Sparks]

They'll definitely start drafting half black people. Yeah, yeah.

[Wilford Pad]

The one drop rule. No, thank you.

[Turner Sparks]

Will be on the team.

[Phil Duckett]

Have you ever been to an Arsenal game?

[Wilford Pad]

No, they're so expensive.

[Phil Duckett]

I think I can get us there.

[Wilford Pad]

Really?

[Phil Duckett]

I know a chicken from Tottenham and she goes to Arsenal games all the time.

[Wilford Pad]

I told me she's like, if I.

[Phil Duckett]

Ever want to go, let me know.

[Wilford Pad]

I would love that. Dude, I was just in London in. In December.

[Phil Duckett]

Well, now that I'm single, that's all I wanted. Traveling the world again.

[Wilford Pad]

So, dude, let's go to. Let's go to London and do stand up.

[Phil Duckett]

I hear it's good.

[Wilford Pad]

It's very good.

[Phil Duckett]

I got a couple connections over there too.

[Wilford Pad]

It's very good.

[Turner Sparks]

Have you done it?

[Wilford Pad]

Yeah, it's very good. Because I think a part of it is because no Shade, but they're not as good at stand up as we are. Right.

[Phil Duckett]

But I love it.

[Wilford Pad]

But they've trained their audience and also their audiences. Like, their standup comes from theater where ours comes from. Like cabaret, I guess. So they're vaudeville there. Yes. Their audiences listen more than we do, I've heard.

[Turner Sparks]

So I've never done stand up in the uk, but I have worked with British comedians. You know, I've heard that it's a little more performative. Is that true? Like, almost like, do you know how sometimes there's comedians out of LA who are actors first and also comedians and it's more of like a choreographed little Sebastian Gotcha.

[Phil Duckett]

Basically what you're saying, they're pretty.

[Turner Sparks]

Is that true? Because it comes from theater with the UK comics, I think it's not true. I don't know.

[Wilford Pad]

They're just a little more long winded with their.

[Turner Sparks]

It takes a while to get to the punch.

[Phil Duckett]

Y'all are saying a whole lot of words to say. These ain't funny.

[Turner Sparks]

We're trying to be nice.

[Phil Duckett]

I'm not. I'm like, what? You know what y'all. The way y'all are saying. And I'm like, so they're not that funny. Yeah, they're long winded with the jokes. It takes a long time to get to the point. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck is what I hear. And. And that's just fine. But the thing is there, I've met some LA comedians that were really funny. I met some British comedians really funny. But you're right. Less. There's more that are not good than they are. But you know what? That's not their fault. Because we've been spoiled by new York, we are the best comedians because we get way more stage time than anybody else. And that's how you get good at this shit, is being on stage. Repetition.

[Turner Sparks]

That's it.

[Phil Duckett]

You know? I mean, so if you don't get the reps, even if you are a funny person, it's hard to compete with a New York comedian. So it's no disrespect. When I say, suck, suck, suck. I'm just like, they're compared to us. When they come over here, it's always like, where the fuck did you all find him?

[Turner Sparks]

Well, we have. It's just that you also have to be tighter with the punk.

[Phil Duckett]

Bang, bang, bang, bang. New York. They're like, just be funny, fuck face. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

[Turner Sparks]

And then it's the next. They're four shows a night.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

At the club.

[Phil Duckett]

Then I go to South Carolina. I was just performed in Charleston last weekend on a whim. I was going to surprise my mom for Valentine's Day.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

And then, I don't know. I was at the airport. I called the club. I'm like, I'm going to be in town. Is there any chance I get a guest spot? And they're like, you can feature for Joe Mackey if you want to. I said, I love Joe Mackie. Yeah. And he looked at me and he was like. I was like, I'm from here. He was like, oh, shit. Well, let's fucking do it. And great shows, but the thing is, in the south, it only have to be. I was doing the bang bang bang. The first show. And then I was like, I think I'm just going to tell stories. The next show. Like, I went like. Like, high school stories. Guess what? Still killed. Like, and I didn't have to have the punch up. The tagline.

[Turner Sparks]

It was like, because they have an attention span.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah. I'm like, so me and my mom were at the grocery store the other day. Like, I just start off like, I'm talking.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah. To take everyone else's side on this. Part of why we have to be tighter with the punchlines in New York is because the audiences have no attention span.

[Phil Duckett]

They're add.

[Wilford Pad]

And New York in particular, because, you know, you go to. If you're going to a show in North Carolina, that show, you've been waiting to go to that show all week.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah.

[Wilford Pad]

Where? Here. If you're going to a show, you just got dinner, you've got another thing right after. It's like, this is an errand.

[Turner Sparks]

Not only that, but you're like, we could have been a Wicked. Right now. Yeah, we're gonna go to a play. And then one guy in the group convinced us to go to this comedy show. This better be.

[Phil Duckett]

So we came here instead of going to Hamilton, and now they expect you to be as good as Hamilton.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, you better not suck, because we could be at Hamilton.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[Turner Sparks]

Next question, next question. George in Chevy Chase, Maryland wants to know, do black people believe in aliens?

[Phil Duckett]

Is Chevy Chase, Maryland, a real place? Yeah, it's named after the actor.

[Turner Sparks]

I think it's the other way around. It's a suburb. Or maybe it's a coincidence.

[Phil Duckett]

You think the actor was named after the town?

[Turner Sparks]

I think so. Or else that's a fake name, like it's a stage name. Or maybe it's just a full on coincidence.

[Phil Duckett]

That is a dark Truth in White library.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

Ooh, it does sound like one, doesn't it, folks?

[Turner Sparks]

I think, I think. I think he was named after the town we're gonna have. For sure the town is not named.

[Phil Duckett]

After him because the town was probably found in 1710.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah, it's a suburb of D.C. i'm.

[Wilford Pad]

Gonna look it up for you guys.

[Turner Sparks]

Chevy Chase. No, no, no. We'll get it at the end.

[Phil Duckett]

We have a whole segment. Wilfred, know your place.

[Turner Sparks]

Show the muscle. Russell's on it.

[Phil Duckett]

Jesus.

[Turner Sparks]

Do black people believe in aliens? Is the question.

[Wilford Pad]

Can I. Can I answer?

[Turner Sparks]

Go ahead.

[Wilford Pad]

A guess.

[Turner Sparks]

Yes.

[Wilford Pad]

Yes.

[Turner Sparks]

Why?

[Wilford Pad]

A lot of my black friends are very into conspiracies. What?

[Turner Sparks]

Elaborate. Which ones? What conspiracy?

[Wilford Pad]

Honestly, they're all so wild that I'm like. It's hard to keep track of them.

[Turner Sparks]

Okay. I had a guy. There's a comedian.

[Phil Duckett]

Felt wildly personal.

[Turner Sparks]

There's a comedian.

[Wilford Pad]

Let me give.

[Turner Sparks]

I have an example. This is a one of one. So who knows if this is a widespread. This comedian who. I can't say his name on air, but you guys all know it. I'll tell you off. He was. He showed up at the Lantern one night and he goes. He just like corners me and starts talking about conspiracies. He's a black comedian, maybe in his early 50s. Do you know what I'm talking about? And he goes, turner, let me ask you a question. How many oceans do you think there are? And I was like, oh, like, you mean seven. There's 17. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. How many? Like full oceans? I'm like, I don't know. One. And he's like, ha, there's two. And he said that there's an ocean below the ocean. There's like. It's a glass bottom at the bottom of the ocean, and then there's a whole other ocean below that.

[Phil Duckett]

So this man watched the movie the mig, and was like, there's a thermal layer.

[Turner Sparks]

And then he also said, the sun's a giant light bulb.

[Phil Duckett]

I thought I knew who you were talking about, but the person I'm thinking of is, no way this fucking dumb. So I'm like, never mind. I was like.

[Turner Sparks]

I thought I was like. But those are the kind of spirits I'm into. I'm into those conspiracies because I don't. They're new. I don't mind if you conspiracy as long as it's something I've never considered the one fun.

[Wilford Pad]

The one I do recall was the. This was around the Sandy Hook shooting. And so I had. And I'm also, to be fair, I'm. I'm referring to like, maybe four black people. But they were like, oh, we don't. We. I'm pretty sure that was a hoax. Like, they really fell into.

[Phil Duckett]

Babies getting slaughtered was a hoax. You know, they just sued that white man for talking that on the podcast. Yeah, yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

He lost his whole business.

[Phil Duckett]

His whole thing, whatever.

[Turner Sparks]

His.

[Phil Duckett]

Hundreds of millions.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

For saying it was fake.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

Alex Jones.

[Turner Sparks]

Alex Jones.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

So what's the answer? Do black people believe in aliens?

[Phil Duckett]

Absolutely. Are you out of your fucking. First of all, you'd be an idiot not to believe in aliens.

[Turner Sparks]

I do, too.

[Phil Duckett]

You'd be crazy to think that we are the only species capable of making life on when we are like, we're one small planet in a universe that's in a major galaxy. Like, I mean, we don't have the technology to see the other ones, but I can assure you there's other going on.

[Turner Sparks]

There's something else going on.

[Phil Duckett]

There's other going on and the government knows it too, which is why they don't talk about it and they make it because they would not make an Area 51 for a conspiracy theory. There is things there.

[Turner Sparks]

They're burying something in the day. Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

They've seen things. We've seen things that we don't explain, but nobody. And then it just disappears. Yeah, no, there. I'm telling you, there is.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

Do you think when aliens land, they'll be considered more black or white?

[Phil Duckett]

I don't think we'll have a chance to decide.

[Turner Sparks]

They're gonna kill.

[Phil Duckett]

They'll kill everybody. Because here's the thing that we've always said, conspiracy or not, if there is other life forms and they have the technology to get here. They have the power to destroy us instantly because we can't get to them. So our technology is limited.

[Turner Sparks]

It's the only way we'll have world peace. But we'll be getting attacked from the outside. But we'll all be on the same team, right?

[Phil Duckett]

Exactly. They're like, black people ain't so bad. You seen this Green?

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

So, yeah, I don't know. So, yeah, I believe that they do. What do you think, Turner?

[Turner Sparks]

What? Do aliens exist? Do black people think aliens exist?

[Wilford Pad]

Black people exist.

[Turner Sparks]

Black people. That's a figment.

[Phil Duckett]

That's a wild thing to say. We still. In February.

[Turner Sparks]

There is a far. So some people do respond in the comments to this show and they go, this is a far left wing wing thing. And they'll say that race is a construct.

[Phil Duckett]

It is. Yeah, yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

Basically what they're trying to say is there is no. Your show doesn't make sense because there is no thing. No such thing as black people.

[Phil Duckett]

And yet they still take the time to type that. So it does matter. And we need the interaction.

[Wilford Pad]

But they don't, like. No, they haven't taken, like, history into account.

[Phil Duckett]

But the thing is, those are Europeans, the people that are commenting this a lot of times, at least on the.

[Turner Sparks]

Italian far left, white people.

[Phil Duckett]

But I found this mostly Europe. And you're. They were like, race is only a thing. In America, we don't see black and white.

[Turner Sparks]

Oh, they say that too.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, they say that in Europe, we don't. And I'm like, y'all racist over there.

[Turner Sparks]

They're so racist.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, y'all.

[Wilford Pad]

But the reason why, like, no one's racist in Norway is because they don't have anything to be racist.

[Turner Sparks]

Of course it's all white people.

[Wilford Pad]

There's nothing.

[Phil Duckett]

We've never taken your job on the varsity basketball team, so you have no reason to hate us.

[Turner Sparks]

Most countries in the world, everyone looks like them, whatever that thing is, unless.

[Phil Duckett]

You'Re Russian or Turkish. All those major empires have a mixture of people. You would have. No, Like, I've seen Turkish women that look like really Middle Eastern. And then I've seen completely white blonde people. Because the empires are so big in the beginning. Yeah, well, yeah, Russia, same thing. They. They own. They had so many countries that they had under their power even once it dismantled. Everybody speaks Russian, but like Kazakhstan women look like Asians to me. I've seen them, you know, like, you're Russian. Yeah, I mean, so I think it also depends on. I'm very educated. I've been around. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So I don't know if you can.

[Wilford Pad]

Say that one wrong stab at my ethnicity.

[Turner Sparks]

All right, next question. This is from our new Patreon subscriber, Alexander.

[Phil Duckett]

What up, Big A?

[Turner Sparks]

What's up, Alexander?

[Phil Duckett]

Big dick.

[Turner Sparks]

Anybody who subscribes on Patreon gets priority. Their questions are always answered on the show. He says, I'm a 45 year old white dude in a blue dot of Nebraska. I live in the Omaha area. I have a decent audio system in my car. And here we and still listen to Notorious B.I.G. when I drive.

[Phil Duckett]

Oh, you are in a blue circle. Here we go.

[Turner Sparks]

Is it okay for me to say the N word when I'm rapping along?

[Phil Duckett]

Take the blue circle away from him with the tracks.

[Turner Sparks]

Wait, let me finish, let me finish. He's a Patreon subscriber. He says, mind you, I never use the N word in any conversations. I feel like censoring myself when the beats are hitting is cumbersome. Phil, if. If you want to call me an inward in some fashion on the podcast for asking the question, I'll take it. And if it makes any, any difference, I use washcloths when I shower.

[Wilford Pad]

Well, how about this?

[Turner Sparks]

That's a great question.

[Phil Duckett]

He's a real fan. He's a real fan. He's a real fan.

[Wilford Pad]

Here's the question that I want to ask before you, you get into this because you, you're the, the one who gets to say whether or not he gets to say this word. But what tier is Patreon subscriber? Because it's maybe highest. Oh, he's the highest.

[Turner Sparks]

No, no, he's not. That was Kennan who is the highest.

[Wilford Pad]

Because maybe if he's a 20, 20$1, then maybe he gets the selling my soul for $20.

[Turner Sparks]

At what level are you allowed to say whatever you want?

[Phil Duckett]

Get me back to grad school, we'll talk.

[Turner Sparks]

Alexander's either in the 5 or the 10. I haven't looked up.

[Phil Duckett]

Well, you definitely. Now let me tell you, here's the thing. I'll tell you this. I will never give out an N word. Pass. At my, at my big grown age. Now, when I was a kid, when I was like in high school, I was like, oh, man, Cody's cool. You can say it. I know he doesn't mean anything by it. Yeah, I should have been lynched. But I tell you this, I respect that you are aware enough to like, say, I know this is wrong. Listen, you A grown ass man. You got to make your own decisions. Decisions have consequences. So you want to make that calling on. But if you go enjoy the full song because the song don't hit the same without. So if you. If you go enjoy the full song, I would suggest you lock your doors to your car, roll them windows up and do what it is that you do. But yeah, don't tell nobody about it. Don't tell me about it. I don't want to make me look at you different, but I get it. I get. But my biggest question to you is why you want to say.

[Wilford Pad]

Makes the song better?

[Phil Duckett]

You know, but then, then they want to say it in real life. So I'm hanging my. Yeah, it makes everything better.

[Wilford Pad]

It.

[Phil Duckett]

I mean it, it does.

[Wilford Pad]

It's. I practice it at home and it's a lot of fun to say it is.

[Phil Duckett]

The thing is you. You gonna have way more slack because use a jungle Asian, you little jungle bunnies. Y'all gonna get a pass every time.

[Wilford Pad]

So how do you feel? Let's say he was a. I know.

[Phil Duckett]

Asians say all the time.

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, I, I mean, and it's like.

[Phil Duckett]

It's like Puerto Ricans and Dominicans and when I first moved here, I didn't understand. I had never. That I never heard it before from.

[Turner Sparks]

A non black person.

[Phil Duckett]

From a non black. Where I'm from, it's just black people to say, you can't. Nobody else can say it.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

You get to New York and it's Dominican's Puerto Rico. And they saying it more than black people.

[Turner Sparks]

Way more.

[Phil Duckett]

You know what I mean? And then, and then you start to live here and you like what? They live ten times harder than has ever lived. They be broke as hell.

[Turner Sparks]

Yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

They are going through the struggle. So I. It makes sense. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I can't. I'm not. Who am I, Superman? Supposed to enforce a whole community not to say it or do I understand that they are minorities that get treated like dog too?

[Turner Sparks]

I will say when I moved here and there are Dominicans, Puerto Ricans who look as white as me. Right. Maybe not as well.

[Phil Duckett]

There have been some fair color people that. And they're like, I'm Puerto Rican. I'm like, I don't like that.

[Turner Sparks]

And I'm like. It was shocking to me.

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, because you're like.

[Turner Sparks]

I'm like, is that a white guy just walking down the streets in New York City saying the N word?

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

What are you gonna say?

[Wilford Pad]

Oh, I was just gonna ask. I mean, you Answered the question. Like, what about like a Chinese guy or a Korean guy?

[Phil Duckett]

Yeah, I don't like that.

[Wilford Pad]

You don't like that. So what's do you have? Like, is yours like a paperback test?

[Phil Duckett]

Yes. I told you. You from the trenches. You a jungle. Okay, so I'm like. If you said it, I'd be like Wilford feeling himself, but I get it.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

Phil. What's like an alternative? Someone could say, like, if I wanted to, like, change the word in the song.

[Phil Duckett]

My ninja. All right, these ninjas.

[Wilford Pad]

As an Asian, I take offense to that one.

[Turner Sparks]

Yes.

[Phil Duckett]

But ninjas flows the same way. Ninjas.

[Turner Sparks]

I do think that should be the. The decision of the Asian people. Asians are like, no, no, you have to say the N word. We don't like. We are now.

[Phil Duckett]

Oh, now we're ninjas, huh?

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

Ninjas in Paris.

[Phil Duckett]

Literally what people put in emojis every time.

[Turner Sparks]

Ninjas embarrassed with attitudes. All right, that's the show except for one last. A couple last things we got to do. A White lies and dark truths.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

Well, folks, you guys are talking about the Jesuits at the beginning of the show.

[Turner Sparks]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

A little research on the Jesuits. The Jesuits are known as the Society of Jesus. They're a Roman Catholic religious order of priests and brothers. They're the largest male religious order in the Catholic Church.

[Phil Duckett]

There's definitely some pedophilia in that group.

[Turner Sparks]

Well, there isn't.

[Phil Duckett]

All of the largest Catholic.

[Turner Sparks]

I didn't say no mailman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Phil Duckett]

They don't say some.

[Turner Sparks]

There's all the. All the priests.

[Phil Duckett]

Damn.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

And Phil brought up the one drop rule. It's a legal principle that states that anyone with an African ancestry is black. Also known as the one black ancestor rule. It's something from the 1600s.

[Phil Duckett]

Thank you.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

Yeah.

[Turner Sparks]

All the way to the all Star to.

[Phil Duckett]

All the way to. That's what I'M saying the one drop. One drop. You got one in your family. You black as fuck.

[Turner Sparks]

You should tell Adam Silver before this NBA All Star Game. And this is how it goes.

[Phil Duckett]

We're gonna take everybody.

[Turner Sparks]

You'll find Luke Adoncic. You're like, no, no, no way back.

[Phil Duckett]

He has no Moroccan in him. He's African.

[Turner Sparks]

It was a Moroccan that went to Slovenia.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

When you were talking about the one drop rule during that conversation, I thought you guys were talking about a basketball thing. Like you can't drop the ball more than once.

[Turner Sparks]

Like a triple threat position.

[Phil Duckett]

See?

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

And then the last thing. The town of Chevy Chase, Maryland, is not named after the actor Chevy Chase. The town's name comes from a tract of land called Chevy Chase, which is part of a larger area of hunting.

[Phil Duckett]

Blah, blah, blah, blah, from Indians.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

But Chevy Chase, the actor, his real name is Cornelius Crane Chase. Cornelius Cranium Crane Chase.

[Turner Sparks]

And then the sounds like an Ebenezer Scrooge.

[Joe the Muscle Russell]

And he got the name Chevy just from his grandma Chase he just made up. No, it's his real last name is Chase. Yeah, yeah. Cornelius Crane Chase.

[Phil Duckett]

Cornelius.

[Turner Sparks]

So it's coincidence. Basically.

[Phil Duckett]

He sounds like, like the nemesis of the headless horseman, Cornelius Crane.
