Hey, gang! You all were on fire this episode. There were so many great lines or moments . 1. “Low achievers like over achievers”. 2. Justin calling the three chickens you sampled in the food court “the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost”. 3. Karen admitting to using Rod as a guinea pig.
The episodes are always enjoyable but man you had me laughing out loud at my job over and over again this week. Keep up the greatness, gang! It is appreciated!
Things I hate about Justin on PG/BDS:
-when he cuts off a joke that Rod is about to make (usually enticing Karen into foolishness)
-when him and Karen Kiki while Rod is trying to continue the show
-the fact he don’t never let a grudge go
-the amount of money spent on the lawnmower (could have gone to a mutual aid fund)
-wasn’t tryna give that friend $10
-stays overly employed, taking jobs from others in a difficult market
-going to nephews games even tho he isn’t a star…gotta humble him and teach him a lesson
-slandering Turk the Murk (I support women’s wrongs)
-when the recording schedule changes bc you have “family gatherings”…where is your commitment?
-that Justin never has sports names for Rod and Karen when Rod says his at the beginning of BD
-matter fact, how come Justin doesn’t have any ad-libs in the BDS theme song
-and why is the response to “Justin how was your week?” Always “not to bad” when we all know the stand Black response is “well the Lord saw fit to wake me up this morning”
-lightskin
-man
Sincerely,
PAYING premium subscriber who actually likes all of these things (before yall come for me)
P.S. I lied…Justin you really was dead wrong over that $10
Hey Rod, Karen & Justin.
Thank God I got rid of Threads before it got this bad. I only had it for a couple of months in 2025, before deactivating it for good, but I really appreciated y’all talking about Social Media frying our brains & how it’s designed to keep people arguing, distracted, outraged & disillusioned 24/7.
I’m also happy to recommend The Chaos Machine to you, Rod. I literally bought that book out of sheer luck, when I was at Barnes & Nobles looking for black books because of Trump’s re-election in 2024 & it just peeked my curiosity & it has given me the blueprint, for now, at least, to regulate how I go on BlueSky & IG. I even approach the Onlyfans & Fansly ones with extreme caution because they too can become addictive. Shit’s not good for us & seeing people constantly not learning from this shit is not only maddening but dispiriting as fuck.
I wish we weren’t as cooked as we are, but, I guess with us being less inclined towards participating in the 1,567,911,096, 357th needless rage bait of the day, is a start for getting off this bullshit for good.
Peace.
