It's not that hard people...

It's really not that difficult to be a good person, the rules are basically participation trophies, but we just can't seem to get it right.

The conversation continues with the Krewe of Implicit Bias Radio! We'll have some additional #weeklywhisky from Sazerac and our Implicit Bias Liquor Collective as we explore how the Bible might be a hate crime in Canada, a Political figure pleading guilty to a crime, and if you thought Jaguar messed up, Ferrari says "Hold my whisky."

We'll also tell you how to win a great Father's Day gift pack from the Krewe, and even an opportunity to sip with us at "Summer Supper" at Mr. Lester's Steakhouse at Cypress Bayou Casino!

Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Grab a glass, pull up a chair to the bar, and welcome back to the show that you love on weekends, another weekend ramble from the crew, and that's crew with a K that is implicit bias radio. I'm your host, Gavon Bordelon. We've got a great crew assembled this week. And while we find our own glasses, wrap ourselves up in our pores, we're pondering something that's just been rattling around in our thoughts for a while. And it's this God is basically the ultimate mall cop of the cosmos. I mean, imagine it, folks. Picture the Almighty himself, you know, clipboard one hand, fanny pack stuffed with stone tablets, patrolling the celestial food court of morality. He's dropping the Ten Commandments like a divine mixtape titled How Not to Be a Total Schmuck, Volume 1. And what do we mere mortals do? Yeah, we skip it faster than a teenager dodging curfew in a tricked out DeLorean. Rules, my friends, are like those shoulder pads in 1980s power suits. They're supposed to give you structure, but they just make you feel stuffed and ridiculous when you're trying to dance to Material Girl at the high school reunion. Now, I I know what you're thinking out there in Radio Land. 10 rules? That's fewer than the steps to assemble IKEA furniture. Yet, unfortunately, folks, here we are, year after year, generation after generation, failing spectacularly. We're like contestants on Doubledare who just got pied in the face by our own poor life choices. Take that one about, you know, not coveting your neighbor's stuff. Sounds simple enough. But then your neighbor rolls up in a Ferrari Testerosa, cherry red straight out of Miami Vice, T-tops down, engine growling, and suddenly we're drafting a weekend at Bernie style plan to borrow his Ferrari indefinitely. The heart wants what it wants, right? Preferably with leather seats and a killer sound system. And don't get me started on the rest of those 10 commandments on the list. The commandments really just aren't some labyrinth set of IRS regulations. They're just the moral equivalent of a participation trophy. I mean, show up. Don't murder anybody, honor your folks, skip the false idols and maybe lay off stealing and lying while you're at it. It's easy, right? Maybe not. Because we treat them like they're written in Klingon and delivered through some interpretive dance routine at a bad poetry slam. It's not that we can't follow them. It's that deep down, maybe we don't want to. We're all basically fellas Ferris Bueller on a cosmic scale joyride, flipping off life, flipping off the camera while the universe yells, Bueller, Bueller? We still here? I mean, let's get real for a second. In a world of endless scrolling, Amazon one-clicks, 24-hour news cycles designed to keep us angry and distracted, following basic rules feels revolutionary, right? I mean, we've got politicians breaking half the commandments before breakfast, celebrities treating marriage like a timeshare swap meet, and social media turning envy into an Olympic sport. You know, thou shalt not bear false witness. Tell that to the keyboard warriors crafting fake outrage for clicks. Thou shalt not steal. Buddy, half the internet is built on downloading what ain't yours. And adultery? Well, let's just say some folks treat vows like suggestions on a restaurant menu. But here's the real kicker. The one that, you know, kind of hits a square in the conscience after a long week producing this show. Remember, the Sabbath day, we're supposed to keep it holy, right? I mean, God's basically saying, hey, take a day off. Recharge. Talk to me. And what do we do? We turn rest into a competitive sport like American Gladiators, but for burnout and stress, we're stress-buying timeshares while binge watching Baywatch reruns, answering work emails during family dinner, and pretending that scrolling through other people's highlight reels counts as relaxation. The divine to-do list is shorter than a Seinfeld bit. It's about 300 words if you actually count the footnotes. And yet, we would rather juggle chainsaws on a unicycle than admit that maybe the big guy just has a point. Look, none of us are saints. We're all just trying to pay the bills, trying to be truly Christian and Catholic. None of us succeed. And we're all trying to do it while keeping our own little parcel of land from turning into a full-time headache. None of us are perfect. Sure, I've skipped Sabbath more times than I care to admit, chasing deadlines instead of peace. But every once in a while, when we really step back, maybe after a good pour, sitting quietly with nothing but our thoughts, we can feel it. That quiet nudge. The rules, they're not here to ruin the party. They're actually the guardrails on the highway, so we don't drive straight off a cliff into chaos. So this week's challenge is this pick one. Just one commandment. Try it for a week. Don't covet. Honor your parents with a legitimate phone call. Carve out a real Sabbath, even if it's just turning off the phone, sharing a meal with folks you actually care about. And then laugh at how hard that is. Because in the end, that's the beautiful, ridiculous truth of being human. We're flawed, we're messed up, we're messy, but we're funny, and we're all trying to navigate this cosmic food court with the same fanny-packed mall cop watching over all of us. So drive safe, love your neighbor, even if his ride is nicer than yours. And remember, the mixtape's still playing. Don't skip any of the tracks on it or any segments on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Cheers. It's not that difficult to be on this week's episode or to listen, hopefully, to this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. I'm your host, Kavan Bordeland, and yes, the crew with a K is back. We are in the Mr. Lester's top secret podcast layer, and I've got to tell you, the special at Mr. Lester's this month is really near and dear to the hearts of the crew of Implicit Bias Radio. Because yes, the special this month is Implicit Barrel at Mr. Lester's. It is the barrel that we picked in conjunction with Mr. Lester's Steakhouse. $17.92 single barrel. First pour $5. $10 pours after that. Just why not buy the whole bottle for $50 in the restaurant? Wow.

SPEAKER_03 6:32

It's crazy. How many bottles do you get out of a barrel? $75 to $100?

SPEAKER_02 6:35

No, usually depending upon the proof, you get anywhere between $220 to $200. If you take something that's at cask strength, you might get below the $200 mark.

SPEAKER_03 6:44

But you're call it $225. I just call it $200. It's a good round number. So that means the text that we got the other day means that in roughly what a week's time, they've sold over a quarter of what they have. Correct. So don't sleep on this. Make an effort. Right.

SPEAKER_07 7:01

Well, will there be some left when we get there for summer supper? We may know a guy. Okay, well, he needs to hold a bottle for us.

SPEAKER_02 7:09

I think we can make that happen, which by the way, if you would like to win tickets to summer supper, for those who have never heard us talk about summer supper in the past, this is really easy. Go to our Facebook page, find the video, watch the video, follow the instructions, and enter. Because we are giving away dinner for two with the crew. It's a party of about 85 to 90 of our closest friends. And Mr. Lester's covers food, drinks for the night, which includes implicit barrel, and hotel for the night. So you don't have to come back to Lafayette. All you got to do is show up. You got to win your tickets first, but show up if we're on the list. You are in because we get the entire cigar lounge just for implicit bias radio. It's really cool. So find us on Facebook. Go ahead, watch the video. You'll understand exactly what we're talking about. So you've heard the Rustic Renegade, our co-host, Caleb Morse. You've heard from Louisiana's only certified master tobacconist, the CWAT, which means he's the certified wizard of tobacco. And of course, the consolier is here, Chris Castro this week. Chris, it's great to have you with us. Good to be back, Kavan. It's been a while. It has been a while, and we are so thrilled to have you here, especially when we are featuring our weekly whiskey from one of the partners that's involved in the implicit bias liquor collective. Benny's in Opalousis sent down not one, but two bottles. And we often We did it for a reason. I know we did.

SPEAKER_01 8:36

We often try to do just store picks. He he sent a bottle for me and a bottle for Caleb.

SPEAKER_02 8:44

No. But anyway, because we we will sample and taste both on this week's episode. And we've done them before. But there's a reason why when he said, Hey, here's what I'd like to do, I thought, you know what? That's perfect. Because these bottles, they're everyday bottles. You can find them at Benny's, you can go, you can get them. Everybody can have one. This is an everyman bottle of whiskey, and it's one of the true long-standing brands in the world of rye whiskey. It is Sazerac rye, but these are two relatively new offerings within the last year. And the first one that we are sampling, I don't even know if you can see it in the shot, it is the one-liter bottle, not the 750, which means that we are sampling the Sazerac 100 proof. So the original Sazerac is 90. Then they released the Sazerac 100 proof. But of course, they released it in a one-liter bottle. We call that man-sized. Correct. We call it half a night. Anyway. So we're gonna start with the 100 before we go to the full proof later in the show. So let's start at the bar. Renee, you go ahead and kick us off. You've had your glass, and I think this is one you love.

SPEAKER_07 9:58

Right up my alley. It's a great sip and whiskey. Uh I I and I've had Sazerac rye. I hadn't had the 100 before. I had had the regular 90. I like this one. It's uh I'm gonna try the other one, but I think I'm gonna like this one better because it's it's in my proof. My proof, I'm I am the proof princess.

SPEAKER_02 10:16

You you've gotten that nickname as well. Yes.

SPEAKER_07 10:18

So I I just like it. It's my jam.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

I love hearing that because you don't always have to go buy a $200 bottle of whiskey in order to enjoy it on any given night. So Chris Castro, who appears to be done with his first pour as I bring him into the conversation or his second pour. Part part one and a half. Part one and a half. All right, Chris, what about you and the Sazerac in hand?

SPEAKER_06 10:41

I really like it a lot. I gotta tell you. Uh I enjoy the Sazerac bottle. In fact, I had one just last week. And uh it as you say, it's it's a standard bottle. It's simple to buy, it's easy to access, it's it, but it it just the quality is excellent. And this 100 proof is just great in color, good and deep, um, but the smooth uh as a sipping you know drink. Um I have to say, I I like I like my my whiskey on ice a little bit, you know, but this is uh it for for for where we're at right now and just tasting it and just getting the um the full flavor, solid.

SPEAKER_02 11:19

Now, when we were at when we were at the Sazerac house, they made for us while we were there the premier experience ambassador, Greg Triesh, the guy who is pretty much their historian, right, made for us the classic Sazerac cocktail. He made it with the 90 proof. Make it with the 100 proof. And it's one of the things I love about this 100 proof. It is not only wonderful as a straight neat sipper, you can make a cocktail out of this. And when I tell you it is fantastic, it is amazing. It's my favorite way to make a Sazerac cocktail, which is just a substitute. You get a little more forward flavor from the spirit. Say that 10 times fast.

SPEAKER_04 12:03

Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:04

And it just rounds things out, balances out the sweet, gives you the lemon, gives you that hint of licorice, and is really fascinating. As Caleb begins to pour his fourth pour of the show. This is only the second time that he's actually touched his glass with the bottle, but we've seen the pores.

SPEAKER_07 12:21

Consistency is key.

SPEAKER_03 12:23

It's a good thing they send a liter bottle over.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

It is.

SPEAKER_03 12:26

All right, Caleb, what do you think? Uh so on the nose, they get a hint of orange zest and and like a maybe a tangerine, not a big blood orange, but a little tangerine, I think. Uh, and then on the palate, this is it's a strange one, right? Because it it brings back what most would consider a horrible memory. Uh okay. When I was a little kid, I loved it.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

Something tells me this is going to involve bodily fluid and a location where you're not supposed to be.

SPEAKER_03 12:50

Close. Uh so when I was a little kid, uh my dad worked for JPSO and we were living in Kenner. And uh that you didn't live in Kenner. Kenna.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

Kenna, there you go.

SPEAKER_03 12:59

So now you lived in Kenna. Uh and I loved root beer. Loved it. And we would do like the Zatarans, homemade root beer, that kind of stuff. Remember those yellow packets? Yeah. Yeah. And I get hints of root beer with this. Hints. Not like full-fledged root beer, almost like a flat root beer, that little root beer cola flavor. But the bad memory comes from I remember well, I remember part of this, but I was begging my mother for a root beer. And to tell you the kind of kid I was, you didn't want me. Um, what I liked was what I liked, and I wasn't eating or drinking anything else. I wanted red candies because red's my red was and is my favorite color, and I wanted root beer. Red dye number five explains a lot, Caleb. And uh my mom was so mad she was yelling at me and getting very upset because she didn't want to go back to the store. So she said, fine, you want some root beer? We'll make you some root beer. So she went in the backyard, dug up some pine tree roots, uh, got one of my dad's. She she ground them down, cleaned them up, boiled them, I think, and then uh ground some down, maybe I don't know how she made a concentrate out of it, and then added, I think my dad drank either Coors or Miller High Life and dumped that in there.

SPEAKER_02 13:58

And uh Are we outlining a child abuse case or a whiskey tasting case?

SPEAKER_03 14:03

That's that's a that's a sucking one. No way to raise your kids is trauma. That was a lunda. Yeah. But all that to say I get hints of delicious root beer, nothing at all that I've had at that point in time. But that Zataran's root beer concentrate, I get like a very, very watered-down, fine flavor of that. And it's it's it's there, it lasts for probably about three to five seconds, and then it just tapers off so well. For a hunterproof, this drinks like water. It is just pleasurable, kind of sweet, a little bit of brown sugar in the back end.

SPEAKER_02 14:32

One of the things I love is that, yes, as much as I hate to admit it, I do get that hint of root beer. I do get that suggestion of root beer on the palate. I love the spice that I get on this because it is that beautiful, wonderful, like Christmas cake spice that you get during the holidays. And during the summer, you're like, do you really? Yes, you do want it. But it is what is that?

SPEAKER_01 14:58

It it's like a baking spice, that's what they call it. Like nutmeg. Yep. But the thing is, it's not over spicy.

SPEAKER_07 15:05

It's not, I mean, it's the the flavors are real subtle. I mean, it that's a definitely a good summer whiskey because it's not overpowering, it's uh it's enjoyable.

SPEAKER_02 15:14

It is thoroughly enjoyable, easily drinkable. And for those who are you know chasing labels and building collections, and I I do it, I've got a collection. I think everybody in here now has at least a small collection at the very end.

SPEAKER_06 15:28

I have no collection. I drink it.

SPEAKER_02 15:30

Yeah, you look at collections, I use mine.

SPEAKER_06 15:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:33

Castro, Castro did open a bottle that I don't think he realized was about two grand because it was like 35 years old. And he's like, Hey, you ever heard of this? And I was like, Why would you open that? I I I've never seen it, but I can look at the label and realize that it it probably was produced, you know, the year that my grandfather died. Was it good? Right. Like 1979 or older, and it oh, it's delicious. It's delicious, yeah. And I appreciate him sharing some of that.

SPEAKER_06 15:58

Uh I I need to bring it here and actually get rid of it. And let's say get rid of it, but I mean it's open.

SPEAKER_02 16:03

So what are we gonna do with it?

SPEAKER_07 16:04

It doesn't get better. Well, we can destroy the evidence.

SPEAKER_02 16:07

Yes, we can. But my point about this is a bottle like that, sometimes you're like, man, I almost feel guilty drinking it at a normal night. This, you can drink any day, anytime, a special occasion, or just, you know what? I feel like a poor to sit back with my thoughts this evening and gather everything to get back to my center.

SPEAKER_07 16:29

What people forget is that these master distillers made this juice to drink, not to look pretty in the bottle. They just need to be drunk. That's what they made it for. Wait, they need or we need? Well, get drunk. They need us to drink it. Okay. Not get drunk, but to drink it. I mean, that's what they made. It's the same with cigars. We have we have that in our industry. We have cigar collectors. These guys didn't grow this tobacco, agent tobacco, and made these cigars for you to just look at and go, ooh, I have one of those. Did you smoke it? No. Well, then how do you know if it's good? It's the same with the juice in a bottle. You don't know if it's good until you open it and drink it. That's what it's made for. God made this for us to enjoy.

SPEAKER_02 17:12

So, Renee, what cigar would you put with this Sazerac 100 person? All of them.

SPEAKER_07 17:20

Because it's a it's a very, very mild mellow whiskey. It's a generic flavor, not a real strong alcohol flavor. I mean, really, anything would go good with this. I wouldn't, I wouldn't go with a heavy Maduro, with a uh uh full-strength Maduro, but anything medium bodied or lighter.

SPEAKER_03 17:38

What was the word where that I got from you last time, the little shorter stubby guy? The pink? No, not a rare pink. Uh I came in looking for I don't want to.

SPEAKER_07 17:46

Oh, the Gorbusto? Yes. Yes, the uh Paladino Gorbusto. That would pair a phenomenal. They make it in a Connecticut, uh, a sun grown uh Corojo and a Maduro wrapper. Yeah, either all three of those would go. I'm not a big fan of that size. It's a little four by sixty ring gauge. You know, a four-inch cigar just is enough to upset. You like something that touches the consoles? Well, it's the thing is it's so short. You go to light it and it's like, okay, I'm done with this, and I just lit it. I want a Toro or a Churchill. You know, at least a Toro or a Churchill.

SPEAKER_02 18:17

Uh and now we have a studio audience who is apparently suggesting a cigar.

SPEAKER_07 18:21

Oh, is that is that a Permo label?

SPEAKER_02 18:24

Let's hold on. We're gonna pass this.

SPEAKER_07 18:26

Perdermo Legacy, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

Okay, so really tell us about a Podermo Legacy.

SPEAKER_07 18:29

That's the I think that's the looks like the Connecticut shade wrapper. Um yeah, Legacy is a is a is a blend that uh Nick Perdermo came out with about two years ago. Um there's only I think 70 stores in the United States that carry it because it's so limited on how many he can make. We're the only shop in the in Louisiana that can carry it. He hand selects his accounts on that because it's it's that rare. I mean, it's the the tobaccos in there, some of those tobaccos are 20 years old. Um yeah, it's it's a great smoke, it's very smooth. Okay, so let's go back to the whiskey. I guarantee you that that cigar probably costs more than whiskey, than the whiskey. Well, we're gonna find we're gonna we're gonna find out.

SPEAKER_02 19:12

So let's start here. Where do we rate this? The Morse whiskey rating code is red, I wouldn't drink it even if it was free. Yellow, I would only drink it if it was free. Green, I would buy this. Blue, I would seek this out. So the question is, crew, where do we rate this one? Renee, we'll start with you.

SPEAKER_07 19:29

This is a blue, and I don't really have to seek it out because it's available. And what would you pay?

SPEAKER_01 19:34

Uh that whiskey, I'm guessing 25 bucks. Remember, one liter bottle. Uh 30 bucks.

SPEAKER_02 19:41

30 bucks. Castro, what are you thinking?

SPEAKER_06 19:44

I'm thinking that that is absolutely a blue, and uh, I'd say that's gonna be 42.50.

SPEAKER_03 19:51

4250. Mr. Morse. Man, y'all are gonna make me feel bad for giving it a green because this is everything that whiskey should be. But uh to be a blue, it just needs a little more. You're just waiting for that 120, that's all it is. That's exactly what it is. Uh and I mean, look, I to me at $50, this is a bargain. When you look at the size of the comparison, this is a full liter. When you think about what you have here, anything under $50 is a ridiculous bargain. I'm gonna go $50.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

So the what would you pay championship belt winner presented by Box Drop of Lafayette for this show is Chris Castro. Castro wins the belt and gets to wear it because this bottle is under 40 bucks. Woo! It is not 25 bucks like cheapo Renee over there.

SPEAKER_07 20:35

Well, yeah, but that was before you said it was a liter. That's why it went to 30.

SPEAKER_02 20:38

It went to 30. Still cheapo Renee, but yeah, it's just under 40 bucks for a one-liter bottle at a hundred proof. 100. At a hundred proof, which you are not going to find anywhere. Now, the rating. We're gonna have a tie here. And Caleb, I am like you. I kind of feel bad for saying this is a green. It is a green because it is delicious. It is an everyday drinker. I would make a cocktail out of it. That extra, that little something special, that little thing that makes you curl your toes and you know what I'm talking about, just isn't quite there. You're not ready to put a ring on it. So that means it is a green, but I would buy this every day. I have this on my bar. I drink this, I use this in cocktails. It is a must-have, a staple of your bar. Thank you, Benny's in Opalousis, for sending us the Sazerac 100-proof, one-liter bottle, which we know that everybody who listens to Implicit Bias Radio will head to Benny's and grab their bottles. This is a don't miss. You know what else is don't miss? The rest of this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Because guess what? It's not that hard to stick around. Implicit Bias Radio is on the verge of committing a hate crime in Canada. I'm your host, Kavant. What, Caleb? Just that you let into it perfect. I it's I mean, did you read the article that I said?

SPEAKER_03 22:00

I did. And look, my if how do I say this? If my faith is considered hate, then I would strive to be the most hateful person.

SPEAKER_02 22:10

Or even worse, if a religion that preaches peace, tolerance, love, being justice to will the good of other for the sake of other, if that is viewed as a hate crime, what might a religion that preaches intolerance, that preaches physical beatings, and anybody who doesn't convert to that religion should be put to death. What is that called? Well, they don't have to die. They can pay the jizra.

SPEAKER_03 22:37

Sorry, that probably gave too much about that one.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

Okay, so let's give some background as we introduce you to the rest of the crew here on This Week's show. At the bar, we have the man wearing the What Would You Pay championship belt chain. He is Chris Castro, the consolieri. We have Louisiana's only certified master tobacconist, Renee Girard, and he's given us cigar advice already on the show. You've heard Caleb Morris, I'm Kavon Bordelon. Walker Griffon is a short timer, apparently, and just told us this without telling us this a few minutes ago. What? What, Walker? What do you want me to say? Am I wrong? No. Well, see, it didn't even call me like, hey, so you know. It was just in casual conversation. Well, yeah, this amount of time. It's okay, Walker. We get it. Congratulations. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 23:17

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you and Kennedy that you're finally popping the question.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

Thanks. I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_03 23:25

Wait, maybe I shouldn't have said it on the radio.

SPEAKER_01 23:27

That's not what he told us.

SPEAKER_03 23:29

No, she doesn't listen. Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01 23:31

We'll be all right. Yeah, this is true.

SPEAKER_02 23:33

Okay. So to give context on the story that we were talking about when I opened up this segment, yes, we are on the verge on implicit bias radio for our listeners who download the podcast in Canada, which happens. We are on the verge of committing a hate crime in Canada. Bill C9 has advanced to the floor for full consideration in Canada, and it makes the preaching of the Christian Bible a hate crime.

SPEAKER_03 23:57

Well, and I think a lot of it comes to like, what do we really consider a hate crime today? Because we can disagree. The Bible disagrees with a ton of stuff, a ton of things that I do on a daily basis, because I fall short every day. But just because the Bible calls us to judge, I know someone out there is going, wait, the Bible says don't judge yet not lest ye be judged, it also says, Do they not know they will one day judge the angels? We're supposed to judge one another from a biblical point of view, from the perfect sounding board, from the perfect example that we crucified and killed. So if we're to judge one another, we can disagree. Just because we disagree doesn't mean that I dislike or hate you. It just means that we have different beliefs.

SPEAKER_07 24:42

Well, I mean, and you think about it, what that means is that Canada just outlawed the Bible. The Bible is now illegal. What other countries make the Bible illegal? So hold on one second.

SPEAKER_02 24:54

Isn't that one that we're at war with right now? They have not passed this law yet.

SPEAKER_07 24:58

Well, I mean, if it passes in the way as liberal as they are, they probably will.

SPEAKER_01 25:02

So let me give you the specifics on this.

SPEAKER_02 25:06

This is the specifics. Quoting the Bible on marriage, sin, or God's design for sexuality can now lead to prosecution for quote willful promotion of hatred. They outlawed the Bible.

SPEAKER_06 25:21

For the promotion of hatred, though. That is the first time. Hold on. Okay, so Chris.

SPEAKER_02 25:25

So, Chris, help us here with the critical term on this, because you are the consiliary for a reason.

SPEAKER_06 25:30

And so uh the research that I had looked into on this question is what Canada is outlawing is the utilization of uh speech that relates to the Bible or quoting the Bible to say that you're a bad person because you're gay, or you're a bad person because you committed adultery, and utilizing that in a in a in a much stronger version than just to preach the idea that um homosexuality was not something that was appropriate, or adultery is not something that's appropriate. But if if if a person goes out and says adultery is not appropriate, they're not outlawing the idea that the Bible or the content of the Bible is illegal. And specifically, you know, the research that I'd done on it does not criminalize the use of the Bible or any or any other religious document. But here's the question that I have Trevor Burrus, Jr. Utilizing that for terms of um inflammation of the idea that you should be criminalized because you're gay.

SPEAKER_02 26:35

So here's here's my here's my question, and this is the point that I think we're gonna make is this when you give that side of the aisle the inch, they use it to take the mile. Because now what we're what we're basically gonna say is well, that's the way I heard it. I heard it as you were judging me and using the Bible that way. Well, that's and and there therein to me lies the big problem with the way that we are now even bringing this into conversation.

SPEAKER_06 27:12

Right, but that's that well, first of all, it it probably it comes into conversation because it apparently it had been utilized by So they're typically I guess they're weaponizing Well, certain individuals had weaponized the Bible against individuals, and that is causing the backlash, which is the pendulum swing in the opposite direction. So which is the which is I guess my question is this.

SPEAKER_02 27:34

So those individuals who use the Bible, what harm did they cause? What physical, tangible harm would have been caused, right? And I don't know that we even know the specifics there, but I guess my point is if I look at Caleb and I tell Caleb, Caleb, you are a terrible person because you have a beard. And I believe that your beard is judgmental, or I am gonna judge your beard as being inconsistent with my God, therefore you should burn in hell. You're a terrible person, you should not be given all these things. I say that. Well, some other some other holy books do say that. But my but my point is what harm have I actually caused to Caleb by saying that?

SPEAKER_06 28:18

Right. And so and that would not be a prosecutable issue.

SPEAKER_02 28:21

Because if I use the Bible to say, but I thought that's what we just said. If I looked at Caleb and said, you're a bad person because the Bible says this.

SPEAKER_06 28:28

I would suggest to you that it it's something stronger than that. I mean, obviously it's got to go a little further than that, but it is to say that if you're gay, you should be prosecuted because the Bible says that's the right thing. Because the Bible says that you shouldn't, because of Leviticus and Romans and Ezekiel says all of these things about laying a man with a woman and all the other kind of things. Um, that that when you start to to draw on the Bible as a source for why your lifestyle or a source for punishment, probably why your lifestyle is inappropriate, then then that is what they're trying to quell.

SPEAKER_02 29:04

So this is my fun part with hate crimes, right? Can you in Canada legally prosecute or punish someone for that lifestyle right now? No. You can't. All right. So my point is, so my point is, but isn't attempting to punish someone or hurt someone already a freaking crime in Canada? It's called discrimination. You don't need the extra kicker of another law to make something else that could be interpreted by some Yahoo in Quebec or Montreal or wherever. Right.

SPEAKER_06 29:35

So what that person, though, who's making those statements, is standing behind is is a religious freedom to make a statement that says, you should go to hell and all you people should be put in a prison. Well, I think that's also where they can. And it goes to anti-setisemitism issues as well, and things such as that. And that's where they're trying to just cut off, I think, you know, it it jumping ahead to say that it's okay to free speech and you can use the Bible as your source. And that's kind of where that's that's the gray area that they're trying to address. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 30:07

I feel like we have a problem on both ends because we have people saying that, hey, look, the U.S. and Canada have very different laws. Uh we have people we have problems at both ends. Like we have people here that say you can't say bad things about Jerusalem or Jews and everything else. Yeah, the First Amendment, we should be able to say bad things about it whoever we want. Correct. Regardless of race, religion, creed, sexuality, preference, or anything. If I want to call you stupid, I can call you stupid. That's the benefit of the First Amendment. But you you can't weaponize your opinion. And the Bible itself, if you believe the Bible, like we like I said, you can judge people. That doesn't mean that we're meant to punish people. Now we have God's law and we have man's law, and we're not meant to use it to say, look, you know, we should take off your right hand because that's the one that you use to grab her buttocks. That's a bit far, but sometimes it might be warranted, right? But does that mean that we should go and try to ban or restrict the word of God itself or any other religious book? I mean, I do disagree with their, I do disagree with what they're pushing on a very, very broad level. All right, Renee, let's let's go to you and then we'll go back to Christian.

SPEAKER_07 31:10

You know, it's it goes down to sticks and stones will break you bones, but words will never hurt you. People forget about that. That was a saying way back when. I'd also like to another uh to quote another famous philosopher short people have no reason to live. That was aimed at you, Kavanaugh.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

I figured that. I figured that. And Renee, that's a hate crime. Yeah. But therein lies my point, right? The minute we start automatically judging someone's intent based upon the way that we receive the message, we're gone. We're done. Because at the end of the day, and I've been in these classes, I've worked for Fortune 500 companies where literally they will walk in and say, it doesn't matter what you say. What matters is how somebody else took it.

SPEAKER_07 31:53

Which is HR, what do they call these things?

SPEAKER_02 31:55

The uh Oh, they were you your be brave conversations.

SPEAKER_07 31:59

I mean, no, they got a term for that. Um there's a term, there's a an actual term HR uses for uh the these classes to where, and I can't remember the t the name of the term. It's one of these bullshit uh equal opportunity. Uh I forgot to use the official term, bovine fecal material. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03 32:19

It's equal opportunity during the military.

SPEAKER_06 32:21

I mean, it it comes down to uh look, it everything's subject to interpretation, so you characterize it in any way you want. I mean, uh a court ultimately down the line, some jurist is going to make a conclusion about whether or not this arises to hate speech. And that's what they're trying to avoid is the utilization of the Bible as the uh ability to have freedom of speech because it's religious speech. And but then when I use it to say that you're a bad person because you're gay, you're lesbian, whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so, and when that happens, that's I think that's the the the area that they're trying to address.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

And we got to wrap up this segment, and here's where we'll do it. At the end of the day, that to me, this is a slippery slope. Because again, we've seen this happen time and time and time again. Oh, this is all we want. All we want is this. Well, no, now it's not about this, it's about that. And the boundary continues to get pushed instead of taking our perspective, which is hey, say anything you want until you can prove physical harm from something, I don't want to hear about it. And if you got physical harm, you don't need a kicker saying it's a hate crime because it's already a crime, just as turning off implicit bias radio would be through this killer show. We'll be right back. Implicit bias radio rolls on. And if you didn't know, if you haven't seen it yet on social media, we've got to tell you what the crew is doing for dads, our listeners, right before Father's Day. You've still got some time to go enter. Find the post on our Facebook page, watch the video and enter because at the end of the day, this is how awesome the crew is. So we were recording a show, what, a couple weeks ago?

SPEAKER_07 34:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:08

And Mike Trammell says, We should do a giveaway for Father's Day. I'll give away a bar. Like literally, like that. And then he says, Renee, you got cigars. What will you do? Renee says, Well, I've got a cohiba pack that we can give away, a simpler pack.

SPEAKER_07 34:25

With a lighter.

SPEAKER_02 34:26

With a lighter.

SPEAKER_07 34:27

With a cohiba lighter.

SPEAKER_02 34:29

So awesome. Well, then the crew starts chiming in. And the next thing you know, our official mixer, Ciro de Saison, says, We'll do an old-fashioned kit. And then the Rustic Renegade says, Hey, I've got, for someone who can legally have one, a suppressor.

SPEAKER_03 34:44

Look, everything's legal till you get caught, right?

SPEAKER_02 34:47

Paul Sabatier.

SPEAKER_07 34:48

It's only illegal if you get caught.

SPEAKER_02 34:51

Paul Sabatier.

unknown 34:53

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 34:54

Paul Sabatier says, Hey, I've got a Sonos move to speaker. We'll do that. Holy smokes. Can I win that? I need another one. Yeah, no joke.

SPEAKER_03 35:02

I need that.

SPEAKER_07 35:02

I'm like, this is an employee or a participant in the show.

SPEAKER_02 35:07

So here's We can't win squat. So here's what we've got. We've got prize packs out there. Here's what you can win. You can win a bar, and you can win the old fashioned kit from Ciro to Saison. So the bar from Box Drop of Lafayette, the old fashioned kit from Ciro to Saison.

SPEAKER_07 35:24

Does the bar come with two bar stools that are better than these?

SPEAKER_02 35:28

Not yet. You get the bar, right? So you can win the suppressor. You can get the Sonos speaker. You can get that Kohiba sampler pack. And to go with it, Mr. Lester's chimed in and said, Hey, how about a bottle of implicit barrel? Only available at Mr. Lester's, so you can have bourbon and cigars from Pipers Haven.

SPEAKER_07 35:51

That'd be great.

SPEAKER_02 35:52

That's a great pack. And then we, as the crew, said, We gotta do something else. How about two tickets to summer supper at Mr. Lester's with the crew? We cover food, drinks, hotel for the night. It's a private party for us and our guests, which means you can win it for dad. And oh, by the way, Kacheris Coffee, the official coffee of implicit bias radio. They're gonna donate some coffee. So you got a little something to take the edge off the next morning.

SPEAKER_03 36:20

You might need it.

SPEAKER_02 36:22

Tons of fun. Go find the Facebook page. Please go enter. Okay, getting back to the story. You know, the theme of this week's show. It's really not that hard. It really isn't. There's just 10 rules. Follow the basic ten rules and you're okay. And we as a species just can't do it. So please don't believe us on this one. Please check John Solomon. Because according to John Solomon, former FBI director Christopher Ray just can't follow the easy steps. So what am I referencing here? Christopher Ray, when he was FBI director, was testifying in front of Congress. Now, we on this show, and if you listen to this show, you can ring the bell, Renee, because the conspiracy theorists were right on this when we had Congressman Clay Higgins on the show in 2024 telling us, oh, the FBI had assets in the crowd of January 6th.

SPEAKER_01 37:19

Money was being funneled. And Christopher Ray was a Trump first administration appointee. He was. And this tells you how deep the swamp is.

SPEAKER_02 37:31

It tells you just how bad the swamp can get. So according to John Solomon, Christopher Ray was running a terrorist organization. Now, that might be a bit of hyperbole to call it a terrorist organization. Until this is the firm allegation. Christopher Ray allegedly made payments of more than $150,000 to anti-Trump, anti-Republican radicals, and members of the Sedition Hunters Group. Paid confidential human sources to gather intelligence, capture American and analyze video surveillance, American information for January 6th and the riot that happened at the Capitol. And this is the best part. Allegedly, some of these people were foreigners. Foreign nationals inside the U.S., not American citizens.

SPEAKER_07 38:22

See, I don't know if it would be a terrorist group, but it definitely is a subversive group. You know, it just I mean, some of the stuff. Now, a lot of the people that were arrested for the January 6th invasion, they were charged as domestic terrorists. Correct. Which is, I mean, I and you see the videos of the Capitol Police and and FBI agents flagging these people into the building.

SPEAKER_01 38:53

Oh, leading tours through the Capitol. And and then please don't believe us. Go find the video. It's out there, it's not hard to find.

SPEAKER_07 39:00

Getting handcuffed by said police and later getting unhandcuffed and high-fived after the fact. Um it's just that that just stinks.

SPEAKER_02 39:12

So this is just stinks. This is where I love that we bring the consoliary again back into this conversation. So it is not illegal to have a confidential human source or human resource inside of an organization. What is illegal is if I pay said source to coerce someone to break the law, to convince them and entrap them in something that is illegal. Correct, Chris? Can you walk us through the difference between a source and entrapment?

SPEAKER_06 39:46

Yeah, candidly, I can't because criminal law ain't my gig. But I will tell you this that the story, the $150,000 um statement about what Christopher Ray did or did not do or whatever. And that's why I say it's an ug allegation. And and and they they I think they stand quite candidly as allegations, just because, first of all, I don't think there's any criminal charge brought against him.

SPEAKER_02 40:10

There is no well, just you don't you can have the allegation without having a criminal charge. They are two different things. I mean, let's face it, they found cocaine in the White House, and we don't have a criminal charge, but we know that a crime was committed. Right.

SPEAKER_05 40:21

Correct? No question. So I would think that's true.

SPEAKER_02 40:24

So whether they bring criminal charges or not does not mean a crime was or wasn't committed. It just means that no one's prosecuted it yet or ever.

SPEAKER_06 40:32

Right. Correct? But $150,000 by the FBI is pretty much a standard uh payment uh within for a confidential informant. And that's to one confidential informant. That's not to a group of confidential informants. So that's like to a singular individual who can, you know, bring down somebody else, I guess, as a as a I don't know, not to say a watchdog, but uh what do you call it? Aaron Ross Powell, Jr. A CI. A whistleblower. Trevor Burrus, Jr. Whistleblower, that's the term I'm using.

SPEAKER_03 40:59

Well, and if you look at it this way, too, didn't they get caught recently, like someone got caught with bars and like hundreds and hundreds of gold bars? Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_07 41:07

Yeah, that was a CIA.

SPEAKER_02 41:08

There was a CIA agent who was creating off the books black ops that never existed. Well, isn't that what the CIA does? Well, but my point is even the CIA didn't know that they didn't exist.

SPEAKER_07 41:20

So this money was in his apartment. It wasn't it was to be used somewhere else, but he wasn't doing it. He was collecting it. And 1500 is only tip money in our government.

SPEAKER_03 41:32

But that's that's my point. Is like, look, but if that was one of us here and we had in turn used 150 grand to coerce somebody, Chris, without being a uh a criminal law lawyer, would that be illegal?

SPEAKER_06 41:46

Without uh coerce, to coerce someone?

SPEAKER_03 41:50

Um Yeah, I would think so. Absolutely. Yeah, so why is that illegal for a standard U.S. citizen and not for somebody who holds a position of power?

SPEAKER_06 41:58

Because I don't know that uh necessarily uh as far as the um the the the payments that the story was you know brought to as far as the sedition entity, uh the sedition hunters. Um general research I can find on it. Well, I'm not I'm not trying to trap you, Chris.

SPEAKER_07 42:15

It wasn't you know why it was a bad thing? Because it wasn't his money, it was our money.

SPEAKER_01 42:22

They're using government, which is our money.

SPEAKER_02 42:25

So here's the funny part. They're not the only ones using our money to create groups to get more of our money. The Southern Poverty Law Center is in Congress this week. And when you read these allegations that are in the indictment, yeah, I I feel like there's someone in the room who has a name of Asian descent. Holy shit! Right? Exactly. I mean, when you read, and this is in the indictment, I am not saying this is an allegation, this is the the indictment charge against the Southern Poverty Law Center, right? That they paid a neo-Nazi over $1.2 million in donor money and directed the burglaries of documents to encourage fundraising. That's in the indictment. That is what the government has a charge levied against this organization. So imagine this. I tell someone I'm gonna pay you $1.2 million to break in and steal documents. Right. With tax included. Tax included. And there is no tax on cash. And my intent is that I am going to use the burglary to go out and say, you know what? Somebody who doesn't like me stole those documents. So you need to give us more money so we can fight the people who stole the documents. And basically, it's us. Now, I'm just told we have a minute left in this segment. We got the one minute. Finger. So we're going to take the break. We're going to come back, wrap up hour one after this, Walker. This is our one. Oh, this is hour one. So we'll come back, hour two. We will dump into the Southern Poverty Law Center story, which means we have to get into the 125 Sazerac and continue this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. It's more fun, I promise. Hour two of Implicit Bias Radio. I'm your host, Gavon Bordelon. We're having way more fun than we should have in the Mr. Lester's top secret podcast layer. What, Renee?

SPEAKER_07 44:26

It's the Sazerac rye.

SPEAKER_02 44:30

And it's hour two. Which means that Drunkel is here in the Mr. Lester's TSPL. That is Renee Duarte. Notice he said yet. Notice he said yes.

SPEAKER_07 44:38

There's a possibility.

SPEAKER_02 44:39

Catch up. Yep. So that is Louisiana's only certified master tobacconist. The one that you heard who was telling everybody to catch up, that is our co-host, the Rustic Renegade.

SPEAKER_03 44:49

I'm enjoying this 125. Just smell of it alone is amazing. Woo!

SPEAKER_02 44:53

We changed. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, that's why we sent you the bottle and you didn't even notice, which tells us everything we need to know about the consolieri at the bar. We're upgrading to 125 Sazerac.

SPEAKER_07 45:03

That's because he made us pour a button 100.

SPEAKER_02 45:05

No, nobody made you pour anything. Castro did. So, all right, let's start here. Our weekly whiskey partner this week, Benny's in Opalousis, part of the Implicit Bias Liquor Collective, sent us the Sazerac 100 and the Sazerac 125. The timing here is perfect because just a couple of weeks ago, Implicit Bias Radio was at the Sazerac House. And let me tell you, if you like spirits, if you like cocktails, if Kentucky is the holy land, the Sazerac House is the Vatican of the cocktail. It is everything you will ever need to know, every need to see. It is fantastic. And this is central to that story. The Sazerac brand, the Sazerac rye, as you get anywhere in the country, really, now with a 100-proof offering, which we had an hour one. If you missed that, you can find it on podcast. And now we're into the 125. So, Caleb, you want to start because the bar apparently hasn't taken their skirt off and put their pants on yet and gotten ready for the 125.

SPEAKER_03 46:05

This is everything plus. So I don't want to say plus actually, because I don't get more of the root beer flavor, that kind of stuff, but I get more of that warm brown sugar. I get almost a caramel flavor to it, hints of vanilla. The flavor is there even longer. You get it's a drug out, it's more viscous. This is concentrate. Because at the end of the day, that's what we have. The hunterproof, more water, thinner. 125, concentrate.

SPEAKER_02 46:34

And let me tell you, this 125, the word that I would use for it, compared to the 100, is a little syrupy, which makes it so good. Even in a gas so delicious. And the bar eggs everything else. The bar is like, gift a bottle, give the bottle. Y'all left us out. I can hear them complaining as well.

SPEAKER_07 46:52

Why it came in a smaller bottle? Because it's more concentrated. Nope. Nope. So you save money because they didn't add the extra water.

SPEAKER_02 46:59

That is not the case. That is not the case. And you don't actually save money because the 125, they're about the same price as the 100. The 100 is just in a larger bottle.

SPEAKER_03 47:08

Will I have to give up the chain? Nope. We are not giving up the chain. That 125, you get a little more spice, a little bit more of that alcohol, a little more of the ethanol at the end of it. And it just drives it home. I mean, this is the last 10 miles whenever you've been going for a week, a month, a year. You get into the house and you start to get antsy, you're starting to feel this is all the emotions at once waiting to come out. This is just everything it should be.

SPEAKER_02 47:33

This is voluptuous. When you taste this, it is luxurious, it is voluptuous, it is soft and curvy in all the right places, it is kicking in all the right spots, and it is enough to get you going. Not from necessarily the alcohol standpoint, but from the flavor standpoint on this. I just find that the flavor on this 125 is fantastic. So, Chris, you I think are agreeing with us over at the bar on this 125.

SPEAKER_06 48:00

I really enjoy it. I gotta say, you know, the extra kick of the um 25% alcohol, just really so 12, technically 12.5% of alcohol, right?

SPEAKER_02 48:11

Because it's 25%.

SPEAKER_06 48:13

Yeah. But um, I don't notice a whole lot of um, you know, differential as far as the flavor of it. I have to defer to Caleb. Caleb is like he's like a freaking hound. He's like he can tell you everything. We know he's a hound, J. He's a he's a hound in many uh facets, but many times of the world. He's got all the the nasal uh flavors and tones and then I only have one good nostril, the other one's deviated. But I will say that this is a very easy sipping uh beverage. And you know, I don't know. I guess at 125, I'm not really quite sure about you know, I'm kind of let's say I'm new to bourbon. It's been about a year. It's actually been longer than that, I think. But when and you expect that 125 to hurt. I really like to uh I I enjoy cocktails, you know, with my bourbon. I I really so so I don't know how 125 will do in a cocktail. So I will tell you.

SPEAKER_02 49:13

But it's if you this is good. If you like this rye in a cocktail, it's enough to stand up to the sweep that a lot of people put into a cocktail, and that's what I love about it.

SPEAKER_07 49:23

Yeah, and I'm normally not a 125 guy, I'm more of a top 110. Wait for it. But this one's good. It it doesn't have the burn. I can do this one, I can really do this one. Yeah, this is it's just got more flavor to it. This is Walker's waiting over there with baited breath right now.

SPEAKER_02 49:45

This is an absolute I don't want to say it's a caramel bomb because I don't know that I can't get where there's original, but it gives you so much concentrated flavor.

SPEAKER_07 49:55

I I'm getting a little bit more licorice out of it, and I'm not a big licorice person, but it's not enough that I would be objective to it. I it I wouldn't object to it. It's it's good.

SPEAKER_03 50:07

I like it. I guess I guess on the back end is where I get the licorice because I get so I get the caramel, I get the vanilla, almost like a delicate milk chocolate on the mid palate. Like this, this is the way it should be. Because when you go from the hunterproof to this, you would think that it would be amplified. But the truth of the matter is concentration is not amplification. Concentration is a little bit more flavor, but if you do it right like this, the flavor profile doesn't change much. It's the duration of the flavor that changes.

SPEAKER_07 50:40

Well, that's it.

SPEAKER_03 50:41

So when you drink it, notice how it lingers. Note how it stays around. It doesn't want to be forgotten. It wants you to enjoy every last sip.

SPEAKER_07 50:47

I think just more intensity of flavor. Yeah. It's just more.

SPEAKER_02 50:51

More. Yep. It is all those things and then some, and it's why I love this bottle. Yeah. Again, you don't feel guilty about drinking it. The price point is fantastic. And if you want to make a cocktail out of it, oh my goodness. Yeah, you get that concentrated flavor in the cocktail that to me sets off whatever you're putting it in. I mean, make an old-fashioned with this and sirop de saison, and it is off the charts. You you believe me on this. I'm gonna go full Hans and Franz. Hear me now and believe me later. If you make an old-fashioned out of Ciro de Saison, old-fashioned syrup, and this Sazerac 125, you can use their Amer de Saison as your bitters. You will never go into a restaurant again and think that they have the best old-fashioned that you've ever had. They will all compare to the one you made at home, and all you got to do is follow that recipe on the bottle to make the cocktail, and you will be amazed at how good it is.

SPEAKER_06 51:51

You know, I have to tell you, Kavan, I'm a I'm a newbie about the whole um old-fashioned, but I'll I try my own. Yeah. But so the Ciro de Saison, do I have to do extra bitters with that, or is that all together? Nope. It's all together.

SPEAKER_07 52:05

Well, so okay, cero is just a sugar. The simple syrup. Okay. The bitters is this one.

SPEAKER_02 52:13

Okay. So an old-fashioned, right? Simple, straightforward recipe. Okay. Two ounces of whiskey, right? A simple syrup. We recommend Ciro de Saison because they make an old-fashioned simple syrup.

SPEAKER_07 52:27

Now, would you use the regular or the clear?

SPEAKER_02 52:29

Oh no, I'm using the sirop de saison. The clear is for other stuff. This is specifically made for cocktails. I mean, for an old-fashioned. Okay. Right? So Ciro de Saison, two ounces of your spirit, and the Ciro de Saison can be a quarter ounce to a half ounce, depending on how much you like. Right. Bitters. Then to finish the cocktail, it needs to have water, which I like to put mine into the mixer, then put ice and just gently rock so it gets a little bit of water dissolved in it. I put it into a chain, a chilled glass. Really? So now you have sugar, spirit, water, bitters, orange peel with a Luxardo cherry. That is an old fashioned. And when you make it with that, chef's kiss.

SPEAKER_03 53:13

Now, the difference here, Chris, is that's how you make your first drink. The way you make your second is you're like, ah, that's enough whiskey. That's enough Sorro. Shake the glass down the glass.

SPEAKER_07 53:22

Or you just, or you just pour a whiskey in your glass and be done. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 53:25

Either way. Okay, so I think we all agree because I'm gonna take a guess. Azul. Renee, blue. See Castro, blue. See, senor. You know it. Yeah, Caleb has already called it a blue in Spanish for those who don't speak Spanish. Caleb doesn't either. He wants you to think he does. I gotta give this a blue. This is just one of those that, oh my goodness, at this price, at this flavor, it is that good. What is the price? Will we play the game? Again, right at 40 bucks or under.

SPEAKER_03 53:53

Yeah. Woo. When you look at it, I mean the 100 creep is what whiskey should be, and the 125 is what everyone else is chasing.

SPEAKER_02 54:01

It's basically that. It is basically that. It's that good.

SPEAKER_06 54:05

I have to say, you know, I look at a lot of the bottles that, you know, I mean, hey, you got a great selection, you got a great crew, you got a great people who support, but this one's strong, you know. It always is. Strong purchase for people who just want some straightforward liquor.

SPEAKER_03 54:20

What's it's your discerning gentleman who doesn't wear a monocle.

SPEAKER_04 54:23

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 54:23

Which sometimes we like wearing a monocle. And that's okay. Yeah. Yeah. If I want to sit there and be like, I got the letter L and it's go. Someone knows who I'm going to do.

SPEAKER_02 54:32

What is Renee doing? All right. Let's dive back into our Southern Poverty Law Center story. Yeah. Because this to me is way too much fun.

SPEAKER_07 54:41

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 54:42

Right? It's easy to just follow the rules until you realize that the way that you make money doesn't work. Then you have to break the rules in order to keep your life going here or do something different. And let's face it, doing something different is sometimes just way too hard. Follow the money. Follow the money. Louis Pizzolato, a shout out to you, the numismatist who comes on the show, and that's his saying. Follow the money. So here's the allegation against the Southern Poverty Law Center. So, for those who don't know what the Southern Poverty Law Center is, it is a think tank that gets together and the news media uses them as a reference for things that should be classified as quote hate. Well, the Southern Poverty Law Center, for example, in this indictment is alleged to have done the following: to have gone on television and told people how bad the rally in Charlottesville was back in what 2015?

SPEAKER_07 55:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:43

They also paid for the rally.

SPEAKER_07 55:47

Well, they didn't put that part out.

SPEAKER_02 55:49

Well, they didn't say that.

SPEAKER_07 55:50

They said how bad Charlottesville is. They didn't let everybody know that they're the ones that funded it.

SPEAKER_02 55:55

Allegedly, according to the indictment. And we're not didn't put, and I what I love when people say is, oh, it was for sources. It was for confidential sources. And this is why we had that other story in the last hour, which if you missed, you can go back and catch on podcast. But here's why that's important. You know, for a source, it's okay. But when you're paying for the bus to move people there and get them there, that might be crossing a line.

SPEAKER_03 56:19

Come on, that's just ensuring victory.

SPEAKER_07 56:21

And and to put people in the group to go, hey, hey, guys, come over here. Let's do this.

SPEAKER_02 56:27

You might be crossing a line. Yeah. Right. And Chris, I I would think that you probably have an issue with some of these allegations if they're true, is my point. Like, like these allegations are definitely over the line, is my thought. If they're true.

SPEAKER_06 56:40

Well, I mean, I would just say, as you say, the allegations are what they are. And um, you know the the you know we in our in our country I think we fund individuals who are on the opposite side of the ideas that we want to pursue. So let's say let's say you got a drug cartel in Mexico and you got an informant over there, and this guy is somebody that's on your side. Not to say on your side. He's not on your side. Okay, but he's an informant.

SPEAKER_02 57:18

Okay, so hold on a second. Let's let's classify, not just in this country, we. In this country, law enforcement pays for information from people who are working for criminal organizations. That is a fact. Right. We know this, and that is a legal, it's a legal lever that they have to pull in order to prosecute said organizations.

SPEAKER_05 57:41

Right.

SPEAKER_02 57:42

That is very different. That is very different from I am a private organization. I make my money by people donating and me telling them, hey, you're donating for us to fight the KKK. Right. Well, and then finding out that the money that is given to us to fight the KKK has been given to the KKK to transport people. Right. Not for information, but for transportation. That's two very different scenarios.

SPEAKER_06 58:10

I think it's really not because what I'm saying is that is that uh you donate your tax dollars to the United States government, and the United States government then funds individuals who are um who are we're missing the point here.

SPEAKER_02 58:25

But but go ahead, Chris. Let Chris finish and then I'll follow up.

SPEAKER_06 58:28

But the point is that the United States government is an overarching entity that the quote unquote gets its power through the social contract from the people. I am, and we'll go there in a minute. But the but are donating their money on quote unquote to the in this instance, the Southern Poverty Law Center. And so, but if you equate those two, so you pay your tax dollars. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_02 58:53

But that's the thing. I don't think this is an equatable situation.

SPEAKER_06 58:56

Well, but your tax dollars then go to infiltrate or pay some guy who's a cartel member. Keep going, because you're bringing my point for me. Keep going. So when he's a cartel member, he's like, okay, yeah, I'm getting cash from the United States, but I'm also giving information to the United States. And that's that's the quid pro quo.

SPEAKER_02 59:15

Okay, so here's the difference in why I think these are apple and orange arguments. All right. The United States government derives its power derives its power from the people through the social contract that we all engage in for the United States government to pursue the interests of the laws that are on the books in the name of the people of the United States. No, when a when an indictment is filed, is it filed Chris Castro versus? No, it's filed the people of the United States versus, right? So if they are prosecuting a cartel, the United States government is pursuing my interest with my tax dollars by upholding the laws that I have agreed to. Correct?

SPEAKER_06 59:54

No. But but what the but what you're missing is that the United States government is and you are paying the informant. Correct. I no, I agree with that.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:06

I do not disagree with that at all. Now we'll go to the to the other side of this in a second.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:10

What I think we all need to understand or realize too is the United States government is a self-perpetuating system. Okay. Yeah, but we're we're we gotta make the shift here. Yeah, we're well up. Let me let me help you get there, right? So the enemy of the enemy is not necessarily my friend, nor the enemy. And when you have the United States government, when it's the people versus whoever. Correct. The people are not the defendant or the plaintiff. The government has the government's self-interest and best interest at heart. So if the government can use that to leverage more government, okay, but but we're we're not going down the road of we're gonna extend this for a second.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:44

Hold on. The Southern Poverty Law Center is not the government. It's not a private. That's the point. That is the point. It's a private entity.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:51

And they're selling a deal that for people to support, and it's a fraud.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:57

Correct. That is the point. It is fraud. It is fraud because it's a private entity that takes private donations under the auspice of we are fighting against when in reality they are creating it. They are not fighting against it. They are using it as leverage to put more money in their own individual pocket. But here's the part game.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:19

That's based off the assumption that that this group doesn't have a motive or a puppeteer that is based off another place that ends in like District of Columbia.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:32

And at the end of the day, you have to draw the line somewhere. The fact that it's a private entity, root that out first and then worry about the other stuff later. But to me, that's the that's the separation of this, which is it's the fraud of a private entity versus a public entity that that essentially, for lack of a better term, has for intents and purposes, the will, auspice, and power of the American people to do what it does.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:56

Right. And so there's no question that I think the delineation you're drawing is that it's federal government versus private entity. And so that yeah, it's it's there, unquestionably. We have authorized. Or but flip side is that hey, you know, I need a mole. And you know what? And and so I'm gonna pay for that mole to run in the business and but stop with the mole.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:31

The mole's a bad argument. They paid for the busing, they didn't pay for a mole, they paid for the transportation, they paid for the logistics. And I'm not that is different than information. That is facilitation. Facilitation.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:43

I would not disagree with that. Okay. I uh 100% with you. There were we agree to disagree on the other stuff. But the flip side is that, you know, is that I mean, you the United States government pays for freaking uh people who are in Mexican cartels right now.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:58

Now, here's the fun part. You know what? While I understand the logistics, I don't agree with the principle on some of that as well. And that's the consistency with the break that we have to take on this episode of Implicit Bias Radio before we come back. Hour two of implicit bias radio rolls on. And then, you know, sometimes the stories just happen to link together in the right way. And as we dive into hour two, you know, it's really easy. It's really, really easy. There are a lot of laws that are really easy not to break. But some people just can't help themselves. And the one that shocked me, and I'm bringing this story back because I wanted time to think about this one, is the guy who went out there and said information leakers need to be executed. It's the guy who was out there in front of the media for years talking about how, oh, if this person did this with these documents, they're guilty. They've broken the law. They need this, this, this, this, and this happen. And then guess what they pleaded guilty to? Doing the exact same damn thing that they said everybody else should get in trouble for. Thank you for this story, John Bolton. And I don't mean like like Michael Bolton, like the guy who played the saxophone. I mean John Bolton, the guy with the bad mustache. You know, he got on the TV and was always like, we should have a war here, a war here, a war here, a war here, and a war here forever.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:24

Isn't that like Michael Bolton's dad?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:26

No, it is not Michael Bolton's dad.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:27

I don't think they were. He played the skin flute different difference.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:30

I I believe the talent used in or the term used in the movie office space was that no talent clown. Oh, yeah. Right? Yeah, not Michael Bolton. John Bolton, former U.S. Secretary of the United States.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:42

Case of the money.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:43

And and Bolton has done a lot of special envoy jobs, negotiating jobs. I I mean, he was, I thought he was a straight up guy. Oh, but obviously he was just he was just fronting.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:59

Renee, I believe you would Renee just went like 90s N W A O Glontin. I remember any front.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:09

Renee, Renee, you'd be wrong.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:12

Anyway, the whole But he wasn't fronting?

SPEAKER_02 1:05:16

He was. No, no, he was fronting. You were wrong about what you thought about him initially. Oh, yeah. Because here's what he has pleaded, pleaded. Here's what he has pleaded guilty to. And yes, it's not pled, it's pleaded technically in the English term. Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:29

Thank you for educating me.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:30

Yep. I had to learn this in the news media decades ago. Now I'm sure we've changed the terminology in 2020. Because there's an A in the word. Correct. Right? It's not pled, it's pleaded. Correct. So this is what he has allegedly pleaded guilty to, which is having documents he's not supposed to have. And I love the straw man argument. You mean like Joe Biden? I love the straw man argument of people saying, Well, this is what Trump did. Um, hold on a minute. The laws apply differently to different levels of Clearance in the United States government. John Bolton having the documents he had was illegal. Now, the question with Trump is did he declassify what he did? He had the authority to do it. Did he do it? I think there's some gray area there.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:15

Yeah, but it was documents he had that occurred while he was president. Well, Joe Biden had documents that occurred while he was vice president.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:24

That's another thing, right? That's a whole nother. I mean, these are the legalities that we get into. But my point is this. And Renee, you called this out in the first hour when we were talking about Michael Ray.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:38

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:38

The former FBI director. Who appointed Ray? Donald Trump. Was John Bolton a Donald Trump appointee?

SPEAKER_07 1:06:46

Yeah. Yes, he was. He was well, he was in government. All right, he goes back to H.W. Bush. But did Trump keep him? Yes. He did. He was in and out of positions, and Donald Trump did appoint him in the first uh term. So the answer is yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:03

I want to ask Chris a question with this, though. So ignorance of the law does not constitute a defense of the law, right? Correct. Does knowledge of the law, or is knowledge of the law, treated differently than ignorance in any aspect or form? Because John Bolton obviously had to have an understanding and knowledge of what he was doing.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:24

So apparently, uh based on the research I did, the um what John Bolton did was he took emails and he disseminated them to his family members, wife and sister or daughter or whatever. Uh but family members. Wouldn't that be willful?

SPEAKER_02 1:07:40

Uh it was willful. Well, there's the I think that that's a picture of it. It shows willful intent. Yeah, unquestionable. Right to break the law.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:48

I don't know if he was willfully intending to break break the law. I think that he broke the law. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:54

Whether he guessed I guess my point is if I know that it's illegal to give a classified email to someone who does not have classified classified clearance, I'm saying I know they're not supposed to have it, but I'm gonna do it anyway. That to me is the definition of willful breaking of the law.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:14

And that I don't know whether it was willful or whether it was an errant kind of situation. But anyway, regardless errant's a good word for that, though. Regardless, I mean, he he pleaded, he pleaded to it. I mean, he acknowledged his error, he and he's gonna pay a fine. But here's $2.5 million. All right, $2.25 million.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:31

Well, first of all, I find it amazing that somebody who's made a couple hundred thousand dollars a year can easily afford to pay a $2.5 million fine. Now, granted, he is like 195 years old.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:42

I mean the dude is older than he did well on his books. And I want to just reiterate, it's only illegal if you get caught.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:52

And so believe me, I'm sure that there's a lot of folks who are being subject subject to the it's only illegal when you get caught issue.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:01

I was about to say, because I'm sure that having a private server for classified information in a closet somewhere else that is not governmentally cleared, and then smashing all of the phones with hammers so that nobody can inspect them to see. I'm sure that's all on the up and up. We know who did that, by the way. I'm not suicidal. I live a happy life. I love my wife, I love my kids. By no means would I ever shoot myself twice in the back of the head.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:24

And I'm not sure that that applies to this instance, but no, it doesn't apply to this instance.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:28

And and you didn't state any name, so correct.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:31

But point is that I think this fellow recognized he committed an error and he's paying.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:37

Here's the bigger here's the bigger takeaway from everything the uh to hide from it, I don't believe. The biggest takeaway from me is this. Number one, he was a Trump appointee. Yeah, this is how deep the deep state runs.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:51

I mean, well, and he wasn't he wasn't just a Trump appointee, he was a conservative appointee. So, so so there's several conservatives that use John Bolton and he fit that mold in their administration.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:06

Okay, but that proves my second point, which is it's all one big club.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:11

Oh, yeah, and we ain't in it.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:13

Which means that you literally so when when people in this country, when people who listen to this show vote, they vote for conservative principles. They vote for people to go to Washington, D.C. and represent their interests, right? And we are a country of majority opinion rule while protecting the minority opinion, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:10:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:34

But we get people in DC who go to DC and all of a sudden represent themselves. Follow me here, right? The president of the United States is the highest elected office on which every American citizen votes.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:49

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:51

He heads up one party. Christopher Ray was a party appointee. Yes. John Bolton was a party appointee. Yes. And what did they do? They sided with the other party. Right. That's the point. The point is the swamp is there to try and protect the swamp.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:08

And I don't know, I'll be honest with you, I don't know if they sided with the other party as opposed to siding for themselves. Well, siding with personal interest.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:17

Or just you know, just siding with something differently. But I mean, I don't think it was uh opposite. I I'm gonna go sabotage you.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:28

I don't know. Look at John Thune, look at what came out about John Thune today. John Thune said the Save America Act, 80% of Americans want voter ID. And John Thune, who is the man leading the Senate, came out and said, I'm not doing it. And a whistleblower alleged it's a whistleblower. They allege that John Thune behind the scenes says, I'm not doing it because of the president. I am the same party, but I don't like that guy, so I'm not doing it. That's the point.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:51

So he's suffering from TDS.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:54

That's the point.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:55

Well, I mean, and so is he acting independently?

SPEAKER_02 1:12:00

He is acting in accordance with the party that opposes the people who put him in power.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:07

I mean, he is the Senate majority, he is the Senate majority leader, and the majority is the Republican Party. Correct. And their head of the Republican Party is Donald J. Trump.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:18

Correct. Well, but we also you shouldn't blindly vote based upon your party. You can have grievous disagreements, but you shouldn't blatantly vote against someone because you like their personal opinion or their or anything else.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:29

The at the end of the day, and this is what I think we got the one-minute finger, so we'll close out this segment. Last two segments are just gonna be fun. At the end of the day, this is I guess the crux of the matter, which is the American people. And and it's gonna I'm gonna bring it to the John Thune Save America. 80% of Americans, every poll, even CNN has said 80% of Americans want this. And John Thune says, because I don't like that guy, I'm not doing it. One guy gets to decide. One guy gets to say, screw the American people. And look, he's a Republican.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:00

That's not right.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:01

That's the that's the problem that I have with it, and that's why he doesn't fit in our implicit bias. We'll take a break, come back, have more fun, because we're gonna shift gears, have some fun with some cars, and watch Ferrari maybe go the path of Jaguar when we come back. Man, you know, we like to have fun on implicit bias radio. This show has been tons of fun, and it's time for us to shift gears. What, Renee? Second hour is more fun. Second hour is always more fun. And look, we gotta tell you one more time what the special is at Mr. Lester Steakhouse for the month of June, because we are the Mr. Lester's TSPL here on video. You find us on YouTube. By the way, welcome in to those who are watching us on Apple Video, because now we are video on Apple Podcast. Our first episode was last week. I'm gonna see if I can go back and do the whole Sazerak house episode and revert that to video as well as audio, just because you know, Aaron David and his crew did such a fantastic job of lighting that. I mean, it was beautiful.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:59

They fought with that area because it was a ton of natural light coming and everything else. And uh, I mean, Tug and Rich went back and forth, back and forth. I think Rich at one point actually held a sheet up to try to shield us and just glow.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:11

Dude, Big Richard and Little Richard did a fantastic job making sure that we looked as presentable as we possibly could. They didn't have much to work with with me, but that's okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:20

And look, be honest here. One's called big and little because one's a top and a bottom.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:25

We didn't need to go there, Caleb. We but it's funny, I can't lie, so ring the bell. All right, so here's where we had to go in this fun segment. By the way, the special five dollar pours at Mr. Lester's Takehouse for the first pour of Implicit Barrel, $17.92 single barrel, picked by the crew of Implicit Bias Radio. $10 pours after your first, or just buy the whole bottle for $50.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:49

I just hope they have some in two weeks.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:51

They will for summer supper, which, if you want to figure out how to enter to win tickets to that, go to our Facebook page, find the video, we'll pin it to our Facebook page. Make sure you enter because we definitely want you to come have dinner with us at Mr. Lester Steakhouse. Okay. I want to know. Actually, do you get a whole bottle? If you if you pay 50 bucks, you can get a whole bottle. If you pay five bucks for your first pour, you get one. If you pay 10 after that, they'll keep bringing them. I just want to get the bottle. Well, then 50 bucks is all you. Love it. The consiliary is feeling it on this week's show, as we are, because who's Grunkle now? All right.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:32

Damn, Renee throwing shade over.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:34

Man, I I thought I thought he was bugging over in the corner. I'm not fronting. You're not fronting. Okay, so this story, it's not that hard, people. It is not that difficult to make some not terrible decisions. It really isn't. When the example is set for you about how to destroy your image, your brand, and your business, all you have to do is not go, hey, we should do what those morons did. So what does Ferrari do? They go, hey, we should not do what those morons at Jaguar did.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:12

Well, and the Ferrari did it's weird, man, right? Because look, an electrical, electrical electric car can have more torque.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:18

An electric Ferrari could be a fantastic.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:21

But you know what? Have you seen Big Daddy Don Garletz's electric dragster?

SPEAKER_02 1:16:26

No, I didn't know Big Daddy Don Garletz was still alive.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:28

Oh, yeah, he is. And they did an electric dragster. This car is phenomenal. Now it did make all the noise. Well, that's the thing. But I mean, it's instant. When he steps on the pedal, it's gone.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:41

I'm sure that's great for people that like that. But like when I go to F1, you want to hear noise. I want to sit there and be like, I felt it in my chest. You don't want to get a car to go by and be like, You don't want to hear the Jetson's car. So, Gary, I want to know that horsepower lives on asphalt. I don't care how fast you are, I don't care what you do. It's an emotional experience. So let's start there.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:04

Yeah. When people say Ferrari, what is one of the first things that comes to mind when people say Ferrari and you think the engine?

SPEAKER_01 1:17:13

B12, F12, B12 beast.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:16

Yes. I Revan. Okay, so stop writing. The sound of a Ferrari engine is like nothing else on the world.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:24

Play the clip, Walker.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:25

Play the clip.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:26

Magnum PI, the 308 Ferrari. Oh no. It is the I said your walkie impression?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:33

I think that's too bad. But I mean, it's an engine that can be a good thing.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:39

A Ferrari is a beautiful high-pitch wine. Yes. At high RPMs. We're talking 68, 7,000 RPMs. I mean, know that sound. When you hear it on the road, you can hear it inside of your closed vehicle, and you're like, damn, that's a Ferrari.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:54

Get you right in the jubilis.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:55

Now, Ferrari rolls out the, I believe the pronunciation is Luce. I call it loose. It's pretty much. They played it loose and fast, baby. Uh no, I think they got stretched out and got a little loose on this one, and it just wasn't.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:09

Luce, it's the mommy and daddy version. It's terrible.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:15

It's not even Ferrari red. No, it's baby blue.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:19

They're trying to make a uh a car for families. All right, hold on.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:25

So Ferrari.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:25

How fast can I get your kid to the daycare?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:29

Okay, so let's let's stop right there. So number one.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:32

That's not their business.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:33

That's it. What's Ferrari known for? Originally, tractors. All right, but follow me here. No, no, no, no, no, no. Lamborghini. Lamborghini was tractors. Well, Ferrari was tractors too.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:42

Enzo Ferrari was always race cars.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:46

I thought he made a tractor. Nope, that was Lamborghini. That was Lamborghini. Oh, maybe I'll get them confused. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But look, the Ferraris, everything else, big clunky gear boxes, the sounds, the chants, the brakes. And you had just a beast of an engine. That high wine, hugging corners. Their cars were works of art on the road.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:04

Oh, I mean, Ford spent millions of dollars to beat.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:09

Okay, so let's let's stop. I love what Chris said when he said it's not their business. Right. Who's the customer of a Ferrari dealership? Let me start there. The customer of a Ferrari dealership with a lot of money.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:19

Hold on.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:21

Hold on. The customer of a Ferrari dealership. Nope. The customer of a Ferrari dealership spits one of two categories. Guys who either have ridiculously high testosterone and want to do 180 and pay the speeding ticket because they can afford it, or guys who don't have the testosterone and want it, so they project it to their car. You have to do it.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:40

You gotta have a lot of money. You have me with testosterone and everything else until there was cash.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:45

Either way, the desire is the performance, the image of a Ferrari. Oh, Walker actually doing work. No, tell us, Walker, because you have a microphone, apparently, for no damn reason.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:55

It says yes, but there's an important distinction. There's a real tractor manufacturer called Ferrari Tractors, an Italian equipment company that was built tractors since 1950s. Ferrari tractors are not the same company as Ferrari. That's after Enzo Ferrari. And then it says you may be thinking of Lamborghini. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:19

I was wrong. Ring the bell, Renee. Enzo was around in the 40s.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:25

I am not thinking of Lamborghini.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:27

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:28

Ferrari f ⁇ ing kicks ass.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:31

Look.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:31

Oh, he's gonna have to edit that.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:33

Well, Lamborghini. Ferrari, I don't think Ferrari advertises easy, but Lamborghini doesn't advertise because people who buy a Lamborghini buy because they want one. Same with the Ferrari. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:42

It's a premium high dollar item. You know what? You know what Ferrari buyers don't want? A Chevy Volt. No, that's what they don't want. They don't want a Chevy Volt.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:50

No electricity.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:52

No, they'll take electricity if it's still in the vein of a Ferrari. If it was basically so, if people have seen like the Tesla coupe that is designed, it looks like almost like it's been designed by Pina Farina, who designs a lot of Ferraris. It's got ridiculously high horsepower. It does zero to 60 in under two seconds. Does Tesla still make a coupe?

SPEAKER_07 1:21:13

The initial Tesla was I don't think they make it anymore.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:17

They are now still trying to project another coupe out there. But my point is, you could make an electric car that is just an absolute assassin on the streets.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:26

Oh, yeah. I mean But they chose not to, is the point. Yeah. I mean they chose to make a Chevy Volt.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:33

You gotta have at a Ferrari price. If you're gonna have an electric, you gotta have a lot of horsepower and a lot of battery power because when you punch that you want to go. The go button, you got to go. And it's gonna be a lot of electricity.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:50

Most of the world can't afford a Ferrari to have fun with. However, our next story is gonna be something most of the world might be able to afford that could still be fun. And if they had these when we were kids, the world might just be even better off than it is today. When we come back, final segment of Implicit Bias Radio. Final segment this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. I'm your host, Gavon Bordelon. And man, the crew here in the TSPL is rolling again tonight. We've got Caleb Morse, the Rust of Renegade, our co-host, Renee Girard, Louisiana's only certified master tobacconist, the console, Yeri Chris Castro at the bar, and we are having tons of fun. So we talked about Ferrari putting out something that's not characteristic of them.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:30

Wait, before we go into detail about putting out, um well played, ring the bell. The the sweet pea talked to us about non-chill filtered. Yes. And this is non-chill filtered, which would non-chill filtered which would give me a reason, would give a good reason or validity to why we get the flavors we get as well. Correct. It doesn't pull all of that out of there.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:48

Okay. Sorry. So let's dive back into the last story we have for you this week. And it's man, one of those things that I'm going, where was this when I was a kid? So for those who don't know Gen X toys when we were kids, there were two things that every Gen Xer essentially had or interacted with in some way, shape, or form. Because if you didn't have one, your friend did. It was either a big wheel or it was a green machine. Now the green machine was fun because a big wheel was just basically a tricycle. A tricycle.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:18

That's all it was. That was low slump. It was a plastic tricycle. The whole thing was plastic. Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:22

What a green machine was, too.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:24

Yeah, we'll get into that.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:25

There was a purpose for the way they were designed, the way they were built, because it wanted you to have loose control. It wanted you to drift. Well, that's the green machine, not where I couldn't.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:33

Well, it started with the big wheel, but then they refined it with the green machine.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:37

So the big wheel was just a tricycle. The green machine didn't steer with a traditional steering wheel. Right. The green machine had brake levers.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:45

They had they had zero turn levers on it, kind of sorta. You would pedal and then you would lock up one wheel to turn.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:53

So the green machine was awesome. And I did not know until this week that they make an electric green machine that is a drifting green machine.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:04

Like the back wheels are slick. And it's like Huffy bicycles.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:08

Of all people, they make bicycles, but they made the green machine. It's just way too late for me. It is not too late. No way. Well, yeah, but you know, when I was a kid, I never had a uh green machine or a bicycles when you were a kid all had big wheel in the front, little wheel in the back.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:29

And no. They hadn't invented the bicycle when I was a kid.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:32

When he was a kid, his way of stopping the car was sticking his feet on the ground. What do you think Fred Flintstone learned from?

SPEAKER_03 1:24:39

I'm talking about the bicycle with the 72-inch front wheel and the little 10-inch wheel in the back. That's what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:45

Oh, you're talking about the the Carolina squat trucks now? No, I mean it's stupid.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:51

I remember as a kid, we would take arrows, we put duct tape on the back wheel so you'd slide more.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:55

Well, yeah, but on concrete, it would wear out them plastic wheels real fast. Well, yeah, but that's I mean, well, I lived on gravel roads, so I couldn't have one of those because you couldn't ride it on a gravel road.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:06

No, but you absolutely could because on that gravel, everything loses traction. Yeah, but it was just too hard to pedal. You had no traction. So here's the fun part with these green machines. I would love to have like an implicit bias crew race with the electric green machines.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:19

They do like 15 miles an hour. Oh, they would kill you. The electrical.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:29

We should go to the racetrack of these.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:31

Now, what I didn't uh what I didn't get out of the article are the wheels rubber or plastic? They're plastic. They are slick. Oh, so they slick. Oh, so they slide.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:41

So they are designed to drift. They are literally electric bikes.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:46

You can you can get in a drift and crank the throttle because there is no pedal and you're drifting. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:52

It only took Renee two hours to catch up with the rest of the things. Well, you know, I'm behind the times. That's okay. No, this is this is the fun part.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:58

I don't expect Renee to get on.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:01

Give us give us 20 minutes. We'll up the voltage. Or do I expect myself to get on it? Oh no, we have to.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:07

This could do this.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:10

This could be so much fun with the Okay, instead of the Mark 46, you can buy us a couple of these and we can go play. Oh, this is much more affordable.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:18

Oh, yeah, we we definitely need to put Walker in on one of these. Walker would not ride this with his shorts on. He'd have to have a full body suit. And a helmet. I'm not gonna say it. I've met Kennedy and she told me Walker wears a helmet anyway.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:36

Caleb, you took the words out of my mouth. That's the fun part of what we do on implicit bias because as much as we get into political philosophical conversations, we are also overgrown seven-year-olds who absolutely love the thought of getting in a legitimate Porsche. Now a Lamborghini, no longer a Ferrari or an electric green machine, but I don't want to do 15 miles an hour. I want to do 50 miles an hour if I've zero on that electric green machine.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:05

It's low enough that it would seem like 130 miles an hour. It's relatively safe enough. Yes. I mean, you're close. You can't fall very far. I mean, you're only three inches off the ground. I mean, you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:19

Yeah, but if seriously, if you are drifting at the right angle, oh yeah, it's gonna fling you. That whip?

SPEAKER_07 1:27:25

You're gonna fling.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:25

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:26

We'll throw you 40, 50 feet. Easy.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:29

I'm sure everybody here knows why a whip makes a crack. Yeah. Because it's a sonic boom at the end of the whip. It breaks the speed of sound. Your head would be the tip of the whip.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:39

That's why, boys and girls, wear a helmet. Yep. Well, where where it's warranted.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:45

Yes. Which basically is anytime you listen to implicit bias radio. Because we are we are just far enough on or over the line that you might need a helmet because we're just that dangerous. Speaking of that, if you want to hang with us, implicit bias is proud to present summer supper at Mr. Lester Steakhouse, where Mr. Lester's provides food, beverages, and their bar is off the charts and hotel for the night.
