you don't really wanna be pulled over with drugs in the south from what i've heard

honestly I used to get anxious when my last field service job took me to Arizona, utah, New Mexico and Texas. just like "welp if I get pulled over and there's a dog, guess I'm hosed!" actually, I had to go through DOT weigh stations with random inspections for that job too. so I couldve gotten turbo hosed

didn't stop me from smoking weed in my hotel room every night I spent in those states tho

thankfully my new field service job rarely has me leave the glorious free state of Nevada

just because the legal apparatus was constructed to destroy the black community doesn't mean it won't still gently caress anyone else who gets in the way.

the fact that they won't do a show in New Orleans is deeply weird to me. come on people, you don't have that much more time to visit the place before it is utterly destroyed by climate change.

I mean, the south in general though is basically just...normal if you stick to the urban areas (and honestly even the rural ones aren't much shittier than rural areas in any other state). Like Memphis or Nashville are basically fine and not any better or worse than any cities in the North/West that aren't the super major ones like NYC, Boston, etc.

It's just kinda weird because when Will mentions it he always does it like it's just some goofy thing, but...it's actually genuinely kinda weird? Like if there's a city you specifically don't like, that's fine, but it comes off like an almost comically "out of touch New Yorker" thing which is kind of ironic given the extent to which the show clowns on those kind of people.

pretty weird that this so-called socialist podcast is recorded in nyc, the place where 5/6 of the members, plus producers, originally lived when they met, near notable political events, interviewees, and other creative professionals, for the sake of producing their podcast, when they could live a life of imitated poverty somewhere in some faraway small town, to save money.

Matt lived long enough outside of NYC that he is free of the taint and Felix is a Cool Guy, but merely coming from a non-NYC place doesn't mean you don't end up becoming infected. If anything, the people who grew up in non-NYC places and moved to NYC as young adults can often end up even worse. If you grew up in some lame place in the south or mid-west and move to a place like NYC you can end up idolizing it.

Amber strikes me as basically having the correct read on NYC/urban professionals, but because she's too deep in it she loses sight of the fact that most people in urban areas aren't like that, and there are more demographics than just "urban PMC" and "poor rural/mid-western."

actually there isn't because culture is monolithic to the point where there's like 8 different kinds of people because everyone consumes the same media and memes and recreates the same dynamics, rich woke tech workers in silicon valley and Atlanta and Boston who like Liz Warren and Pete Buttigieg and functionally identical minus minor cursory aesthetic differences
