Racist Starter Kits, Haunted Dolls on Tour & Meth Tattoos?!

·1 hr 10 min·5 clips

Tahir and Patrick dissect the 'racist starter kit' of Oakleys, camo, and flags on pickup trucks.

The episode begins with hosts Tahir Moore and Patrick Cloud discussing the visual cues and stereotypes associated with racism, labeling items like Oakleys, camo, and American flags on trucks as a 'racist starter kit.' They share personal anecdotes, including Tahir driving through New Hampshire and perceiving increasing racist undertones. The conversation shifts to a lighthearted game where they choose between Kanye West, Elon Musk, and a Karen as a roommate, neighbor, or landlord, ultimately selecting Kanye as landlord and Elon as roommate. They debate which 90s sitcoms—Martin, Living Single, The Jamie Foxx Show, or The Wayans Bros—they would eliminate, with Patrick choosing Living Single. The hosts then delve into news stories, starting with the haunted Annabelle doll, whose nationwide tour is rumored to have caused a statewide 911 outage in Pennsylvania, and its handler, Dan Riviera, died unexpectedly. They discuss the doll's origin and the Warrens' involvement. Next, they talk about a legal concept where individuals in Denmark do not own the copyright to their own faces, leading to a discussion on intellectual property and tattoos, referencing Mike Tyson's face tattoo lawsuit. Patrick shares a shocking personal story about his tattoo artist, who took meth breaks during lengthy sessions to complete large, intricate tattoos on Patrick's body. After an ad break for Green Chef, the conversation turns to 50 Cent's ongoing trolling of Ja Rule and performances at SeaWorld. They critique old movies that haven't aged well, like 'Agent Cody Banks' and 'Weekend at Bernie's,' and discuss the 'Fast & Furious' franchise and Jason Momoa's role in it. The episode concludes with a story about a Tesla Cybertruck crash where the vehicle burst into flames, trapping and killing the driver due to failed electronic doors, and a final segment on invisible methanol fires in auto racing, illustrated by a vintage video of driver Rick Mears.

A riff on racist aesthetics turns into a loose, funny debate about image ownership.

Tahir Moore and Patrick Cloud start with clothing as a visual code for racism, turning Oakleys, camouflage, flags, cargo pants, and pickup-truck decals into the setup for a joke about prejudice seeming to come with its own uniform.
