This week, Briahna spoke to friend of the show (and star of Rising Mondays) Olayemi Olurin about the compounding Kayne West scandals that emerged this week. Was his "Death Con 3" tweet enough to finally "cancel" him? Apparently not for Candace Owens, who mounted a full defense on her podcast earlier this week. We tackle it all, from the Tucker interview to the Sarah Silverman tweet, and engage in a health debate about the merits of watching right wing media at all.

Produced by Armand Aviram.

Theme by Nick Thorburn (@nickfromislands).

When Kanye said, "I perform for an audience of one, and that's God." I just thought, uh-huh. Suuuuurrrre. Kanye is like the Black Trump. He only wants attention. It doesn't matter what he says or does, or who he ignores or hurts or helps. It doesn't matter if it contradicts anything he's said 30 seconds ago. It's all about his getting eyeballs looking and voices chattering about him. Vanity... Satan's favorite sin.

I’ve never been critical of this show; however, if you haven’t realized that a good chunk of Olayemi’s charm is visual, expertly timed eyerolls, the smile that lights up her entire face, etc, I don’t know how to tell you. Releasing this first part of the interview as solely audio is a travesty.

OMG, Bri, I got that same JLD email about the Wisconsin Dems fundraiser! I am registered unaffiliated. I have no idea how my email got on that list although maybe it's an ActBlue thing because I am donating to a friend's campaign here in NC against Patrick McHenry. Bizarro!

i think its often clarifying and more accurate to think of ye as an actual art piece / performance artist more than as an individual human being . i think ya and lady gaga share a very similar idealogy and commitment to fame and fame as performance art . in this context i feel as though ye's words and actions are more descriptive than prescriptive and should be interpreted as such . ye is more of a reflection of our world and our time than a member of it . ye says and does really out of pocket shit and what happens? huge outrage, huge (fake) love, huge attention, lots of takes - this reaction fuels more out of pocket shit . what society pours in ye reflects back out ye has also always had a strong populist streak, and some potentially anti capitalist tendencies but it's rarely if ever met with the same reaction the out of pocket shit gets. i dont think we should be giving what ye does and says the type of energy that we've been giving it , it just keeps this ugly cycle going but ugly cycles keep paying bills

as someone who grew up surrounded by white evangelicals, i have seen the abortion-as-black-genocide documentary, maafa 21. it was wild. i thought i concocted it in a fever dream…i didn’t realize it was conservative canon. definitely worth a google.

An interesting discussion. Kanye is problematic...

You further expressed my feelings in my first comment! His drug of choice appears to be constant attention to fuel his Energy Vampire. Once again... Vanity is Satan's favorite sin, so it's ironic how much emphasis he puts on God.

I was having fun until the clip with Rogan. The 'Member Berries started popping up and it made me a sad camper. "They hate Bernie cuz they can't control him." Wow. Didn't that turn out wrong. He's lost ALL his integrity and everything that we thought made him different. 'Member when Bernie gave a shit?

An hour of Bri trying to discuss how we engage with celebrities and right wing media, and Olayemi just goes “Kanye bad, idk why you want to talk about all this” over and over

zombie

sorry but what is olayemi adding here

Arlo Bender-Simon

i honestly feel like the two of you could leave the hill and do every bad faith together (new cohost??!) and that would be great ; id certainly be a happy listener. grateful every time you bring on olayemi

She's great but I think every episode would be a bit much.

It's another episode of someone who really didn't want to discuss the topic. We can add it to the list: Gerald Horne (although I really like him), Esperanza. I don't remember if there were others

Jared

His public persona is an extension of his art, not separate from it. He’s an eccentric genius.
