    Ep. 79 | Liar, Liar, 49er
    2026/09/01
    Mandii B, joined by super producer A-King and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee preview a packed episode spanning race, politics, the music industry, Target backlash, Atlanta culture, mental health, viral scammers, CTE, and celebrity news [ 00:44 ]. Joined by super producer A-King and Jason “Jah” Lee, the crew recaps a recent night out in Atlanta [ 04:18 ], including a showcase curated by Nyla Simone and Generation Now’s Honor Roll that puts the spotlight on emerging rap talent [ 05:16 ]. That leads into a larger conversation about the realities of music industry economics, touring costs, artist development, and why R&B tours are increasingly difficult to sustain [ 11:24 ]. For his “Ignorant Take,” Jah recounts appearing on CNN alongside conservative political operative Janelle King [14:26 ], where a debate over a Kehinde Wiley painting displayed at a U.S. embassy turns into a larger argument about masculinity, race, art, and Confederate monuments [ 16:45 ]. Jah then shares some of the off-camera conversation from the green room as the crew discusses political messaging and voting rights [ 22:27 ], including questions surrounding mail ballot eligibility and access [ 24:47 ] and the tension that remained behind the scenes after the televised exchange [ 25:27 ]. Mandii’s own “Ignorant Thought” shifts the conversation to a Braves game in Cobb County, where the racial makeup of the crowd and noticeably relaxed stadium security lead to a discussion about race, safety, and privilege [ 27:18 ]. The hosts revisit the Braves’ relocation from Atlanta to Cobb County and what that move represented culturally and geographically [ 30:38 ], while Mandii reflects on how often race becomes part of the mental calculation Black people make while navigating public spaces [ 32:28 ]. Her experience sparks a broader conversation about white privilege and the freedom to move through certain environments without the same level of vigilance [ 35:52 ], before the crew asks why baseball—and the crowds surrounding it—can still feel disconnected from Black culture [ 40:32 ]. In “This Is America,” the hosts react to Target pulling a children’s clown costume after criticism that its design resembled blackface, along with the subsequent apology and backlash [ 44:33 ]. As Viola Davis’ response to Targetenters the conversation, the crew questions whether consumers consistently follow through on corporate boycotts when convenience becomes more important than principle [ 52:40 ]. They revisit the controversy surrounding an old Drake blackface image [ 54:39 ] to examine context, consistency, and selective outrage [ 58:19 ], ultimately asking where boycotts should begin, where they should end, and what meaningful consumer accountability actually looks like [01:00:38 ]. The conversation turns heavier with the fatal Atlanta BeltLine stabbing, involving a man reportedly experiencing psychosis [ 01:01:48 ]. The crew considers the family’s concerns about systemic mental-health failures, access to treatment, and what happens when people in crisis fall through the cracks [ 01:04:40 ], while wrestling with one of the most difficult questions surrounding public mental-health emergencies: how can family members, bystanders, and communities intervene safely before someone gets hurt? [ 01:10:14 ] From there, the episode pivots to an alleged NFL catfishing scheme involving Javon Love, who is reportedly under FBI investigation after accusations that he posed as a professional football player to scam victims [ 01:13:01 ]. The story prompts a deeper look at why people fall for grifters, scammers, fake identities, and status-driven deception [01:20:00 ] before the crew tackles another viral controversy involving former NBA player TJ Ford’s criticism of a Druski CTE skit [ 01:23:21 ]. They debate where empathy and personal choice fit into comedy involving serious medical conditions [ 01:25:28 ], while breaking down Druski’s use of satire and whether audiences are sometimes too quick to interpret comedic characters literally [ 01:26:53 ]. The final stretch moves into sports, wealth, and philanthropy with news surrounding new San Diego Padres owner Kwanza Jones [ 01:32:16 ]. Her reported $20 million donation to Princeton and feelings of being overlooked by the university spark a conversation about recognition, institutional respect, and what people expect when contributing significant money [ 01:33:22 ]. The crew examines the relationship between respect and spending power [ 01:37:00 ], questioning whether navigating elite institutions is strategic “3D chess” or a form of assimilation [ 01:39:33 ]. That ultimately leads to a bigger question about where Black wealth, philanthropy, and major donations can have the greatest impact [ 01:45:35 ] before Mandii, A-King, and Jah close out Episode 79 with final thoughts and a reminder to stay safe [ 01:49:23 ].

    America Needs An Oxygen Mask | Bonus Episode
    2026/08/28
    In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B and the crew jump into one of the most polarizing conversations in sports and politics: transgender women competing in women’s athletics. The discussion begins with a sports rant [ 00:06 ] before asking who should ultimately determine WNBA eligibility rules—the league, its players, governing bodies, or outside lawmakers [ 01:08 ]. The crew weighs arguments surrounding biology, gender identity, and athletic competition [ 02:36 ], including questions of physicality and competitive fairness [ 05:57 ], before testing the conversation through hypothetical locker-room scenarios [ 07:15 ] and considering how much voting power WNBA players themselves should have over league policy [ 08:22 ]. They unpack what people actually mean when discussing gender transition [ 10:48 ] and question whether the larger controversy has become a political distraction from issues with a more direct impact on everyday Americans [ 14:26 ], before humor enters the debate through a conversation about the financial realities associated with transitioning [ 15:26 ]. The crew switches gears to music [ 20:42 ] after encountering a report claiming releases from major artists including Taylor Swift, Drake, Bad Bunny, and Kendrick Lamar coincided with increases in deadly traffic crashes [ 20:49 ]. Rather than accepting the headline at face value, they question correlation versus causation [ 21:59 ], dig into the statistics, methodology, data sources, and variables that could influence the findings [ 25:28 ], and debate whether audience and attendance numbers complicate the conclusions [ 26:48 ]. Hip-hop discourse continues as they unpack The Game’s grievances involving Kendrick Lamar and Nipsey Hussle’s circle [ 27:12 ], questioning mixed messages, loyalty, comparisons, and when legitimate criticism begins to resemble attention-driven conflict [ 30:02 ]. Politics returns to the forefront as the hosts react to Elon Musk calling for Derek Chauvin’s release [ 32:25 ], debating whether provocative culture-war issues are being used to energize political audiences while larger policy concerns receive less attention. From there, they redirect the conversation toward what they consider the “real issues” affecting everyday life, including healthcare, public education, voting rights, employment, government services, and the rising cost of travel [ 35:33 ]. Mandii then challenges Jah to move beyond political criticism and explain what solutions his ideal politician would seek to implement in three major areas: healthcare, public education, and voting rights [ 42:26 ]. The exercise sparks a deeper discussion about what voters should expect from elected officials, the difference between identifying problems and proposing solutions, and which policies could meaningfully improve people's everyday lives. The crew further examines the economics of the American healthcare system and the tension between patient care and profit [ 50:27 ]. Naturally, Selective Ignorance finds room for one last detour—the timeless ranch versus blue cheese debate [ 53:16 ]—before wrapping the bonus episode with final thoughts and credits [ 55:29 ].

    Selective Ignorance: Ep. 78 | CIS-ieval Times
    2026/08/25
    In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging conversation spanning Atlanta culture, policing, politics, infrastructure, race, hip-hop, gender identity, and the WNBA. After previewing the episode’s biggest stories [ 00:38 ], the crew catches up on their weekends [ 02:43 ] before debating Atlanta’s dining scene, happy-hour culture, restaurant service, and food experiences [ 03:26 ]. Jah’s “Ignorant Thought” turns serious as he reacts to reports about the death in prison of the former officer who shot Sonya Massey, prompting a larger conversation about policing, accountability, and Elon Musk’s suggestion that Derek Chauvin should be released [ 06:20 ]. From there, a discussion about recent food safety scares and beef consumption briangs the crew back to what—and where—they’re willing to eat [ 09:27 ]. In “This Is America,” the hosts spotlight Gary, Indiana, where residents in a largely Black community have faced an extended power outage following severe storms [ 13:02 ]. The crew connects the crisis to larger questions about aging infrastructure, disaster response, environmental inequality, government responsibility, and which communities receive urgency when essential services fail, while encouraging support for residents in need [ 16:28 ]. Politics takes center stage as they react to comments from Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon about taking her children to drag shows [ 24:46 ], debating political strategy and whether certain public positions help or hurt candidates in contentious elections [ 28:39 ]. The conversation expands into who actually attends drag shows and why [ 33:11 ], an explanation and debate around the term cisgender [ 34:43 ], and the importance of context when discussing drag performances, children, LGBTQ+ issues, and adult entertainment [ 37:37 ]. They then zoom back out to Florida politics, progressive movements, and the Democratic Socialists of America [ 40:31 ], before taking a lighter detour into beards, appearances, and “hat fishing” [ 44:30 ]. The conversation returns to crime and race as the crew examines reports of an alleged Penn State fraternity cocaine distribution operation [ 47:48 ], questioning whether similar allegations involving Black defendants would be framed as a gang, conspiracy, or RICO case and exploring racial disparities in the language used around criminal activity [50:30 ]. They also discuss fentanyl risks, drug surveillance, and the dangers surrounding today’s illicit drug supply [ 55:20 ]. From there, the hosts react to Master P’s comments about Black people “harping on slavery,”debating historical memory, generational trauma, accountability, opportunity, and whether acknowledging systemic barriers is incompatible with pursuing progress [ 57:06 ]. Hip-hop becomes the focus as the crew explains why J. Cole’s current tour feels culturally significant [ 01:06:53 ], particularly in an era without the same ecosystem of music blogs and media outlets that once documented rap in real time [ 01:08:10 ]. That leads into a broader discussion about whether hip-hop is experiencing a reset and what the culture needs from artists, audiences, and media moving forward [ 01:09:29 ]. The final stretch tackles another viral culture debate as Mandii, A-King, and Jah react to backlash surrounding a Matt Matthews and Kandi Burruss clip involving pronouns [ 01:10:23 ] and dive into the comment section to examine how social media amplifies cultural misunderstandings and outrage [ 01:13:42 ]. The discussion expands into transphobia, identity, language, and accusations of using a “blaccent” [ 01:19:52 ], before the crew condemns the disturbing trend of people throwing sex toys onto the court during WNBA games [ 01:27:33 ]. They react to Joy Taylor calling out the behavior [ 01:29:07 ] and question what leagues, arenas, and fans should expect when it comes to security, consequences, player safety, and basic respect for women athletes [ 01:35:07 ]. The crew closes with final thoughts and credits [ 01:40:12 ], wrapping an episode that connects politics, race, public safety, hip-hop culture, LGBTQ+ discourse, and women’s sports through the signature humor and debate of Selective Ignorance.
