Welcome to Media Roots Radio. Welcome to World War III.

Welcome, everybody. How's everybody doing today?

I was driving in a lift yesterday, and while I was driving in the car the guy was playing the cranberries

he was like an old I don't late 60s heavy set guy playing the cranberries and singing along to it

and then while during the drive he turned down the music and said imagine if will, if bombs and rockets and grenades were dropping

on this street right now. And part of me was like, wait, should I, is he, he's obviously

talking about like Russia bombing Ukraine, but should I just like really lean into this and just

like make him really scared about like a nuclear apocalypse or?

So I shut it down.

So I just decided to shut it down because I guess a part of me was just really annoyed by the fact that some like random lift driver who pick me up would want to just assume that I'm, you know, enraged by what's going on in Ukraine.

But it's like I've never had anyone ever in a cab right to ever say that to me about like. that I'm, you know, enraged by what's going on in Ukraine,

but it's like I've never had anyone ever in a cabaret ever say that to me about like Iraq or Afghanistan or like Palestine, like nothing like that. Was he listening to the zombie song that made him just be revved up or what?

No, it was like, that would have been a great thing if he was, but no, this was like,

he was listening to that one that's like, do, do, do do do do do do do do. And he was like singing

live to it. And as he was talking, I drove by a building that had Ukraine like colors colors like beamed onto it like the ukraine flag

color so just that was that's like really been my only dosage so far of like being exposed to

real life propaganda soaking into what the public is thinking right now other than that i've

just seen it on the media and

online, but that was, that was my first exposure to it. Have you had an experience like that yet?

Yes. Yes. One person who is my neighbor, um, I was talking to him about Russia invading. I just

throw it out there to just see like where their heads are at before I chime in.

Oh God.
