Summary

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by personality, podcaster, and Atlanta transplant Sy Ari Da Kid for a spirited, sometimes ignorant—but always intentional—debate on the cultural divide between the North and the South, specifically New York and Atlanta. The conversation unpacks everything from fashion, food, and regional etiquette to politics, gun laws, and religion, all through a lens of lived experience. The hosts challenge one another on cultural bias, safety, and identity, while drawing bold comparisons between figures like Jay-Z, Martin Luther King Jr., and Pop Smoke. With A-King and Jason Rodriguez weighing in, the crew ultimately attempts to settle the score on which region has had the greatest impact on the culture. It’s hilarious, heated, and honest.
