Hi, it's Alonzo Bowden. I want to welcome you to episode 240 in my podcast, who's paying attention, and let's just get right into it.

Jesse Smollett is an asshole.

He's a piece of shit.

What he's done, I mean, just forget about what he's done to himself, because I don't care about that.

But he has ruined it for

people of color gay people anyone who's a victim of a hate crime or a fascist or have to deal

with that maga hat bullshit anyone like their credibility now they're going to have to prove it now because of Jesse Small Smollett.

Jesse Smollett, what a piece of shit.

So he's been charged with a felony false police report and fraud.

Who knows what else he's going to be charged with $100,000 bond.

I listen. I believed it.

Come on, it ain't hard to believe that he got beat up by race.

But he didn't forget about what's hard to believe.

He didn't.

Listen, Jesse, if he's going to commit a crime, hire criminals. You don't hire

personal trainers. Fucking idiot. It's, yeah, there's going to be a ton of jokes about this.

But here's the thing. If you're black and gay, how hard is it to get beat up? Oh, I don't know.

Go to some, some redneck bar and hit on a guy. Think you can get your ass with pretty quick. All right. Just, just, I go to go to that territory, start some shit. All right? Just, yeah, you can get your ass whipped. And you probably will when you get to jail. Yeah, this guy, what he's done, and the other thing, he destroys the credibility of any work he had done.

Hope he saved his money because I don't think anyone's hiring at this point.

But like I played the piece where he read Langston Hughes poem,ented, fulfilling, beautiful reading.

Nah, but nobody gives a shit now.

The only good thing is that most people who hear that won't know it was him.
