| 0:00.0 | Get it. The Bird Show. Yeah, we need to get into this interview with John Mayer that he's had with Playboy magazine recently because there's a ton of controversy going on with it. And we're accustomed to John Mayer sort of talking about his relationships and getting into those. That's not anything new. He talks about Jessica Simpson and how she's wild in bed in this interview with Playboy magazine saying she's like a drug. He couldn't get enough of her. Said she was what, sexual napalm? Sexual napalm? I don't even know what that means, but he's a songwriter, so it seems to be cool. Yeah, he says drugs aren't good for you, but I like him a lot, and she talks about her as a drug. But says really nice things about Jennifer Aniston, and he asks if he still loves Jennifer Aniston. He says, yes, always I'll be sorry that I didn't last. In some ways, I wish I could be with her, but I can't change the fact that I need to be 32. So maybe kind of a dig at the end, but he still is in love with Jennifer Aniston. But that's not like the controversial part. And later in the interview, they asked, do you do black women throw themselves at you in a roundabout way? |
| 0:59.6 | He calls his male parts a white supremacist. |
| 1:02.5 | He compares them to a white supremacist, which leads into this whole racial comments that go on. |
| 1:08.3 | And people are commenting on how he's a racist in this interview. |
| 1:10.8 | Well, he used the N word, which is what I was getting to. |
| 1:13.6 | People reacted to his answer and that he doesn't date black women. |
| 1:16.6 | So they asked him the question saying that he doesn't date black women because he has white supremac genitals. |
| 1:22.6 | John said, someone asked me the other day, what does it feel like to have a hood pass? |
| 1:26.6 | And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in does it feel like to have a hood pass? And by the way, |
| 1:27.8 | it's sort of a contradiction in terms because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a blank pass. And that's the quote. You know what a hood pass is? It's like if you're a white person and you're accepted by black people, it's a hood pass. Okay. Like you're part of the hood. and then he said the N-word pass |
| 1:44.7 | he said the N-word pass |
| 1:46.4 | then used the full word |
| 1:47.5 | like he Okay, like you're part of the hood. And then he said the N-word pass. He said the N-word pass and used the full word. Like he didn't go around it. I can't know. I can't physically say it. Ever say that. And he came out the next day and he's apologizing left and right for using it. What did he say that it's just such a sensitive word that he should have known better? He said, it's a shame that I did it because the point I was trying to make was the exact |
| 2:05.0 | opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using |
| 2:10.1 | it because I realized there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged. |
| 2:15.0 | On one hand, I understand what John Mayer is trying to do, I think. |
| 2:19.8 | And he's so quirky. It's very difficult to tell. And he's also so arrogant that it's very |
| 2:24.1 | difficult to tell also. It's that he's going through this phase right now where he's going |
| 2:28.1 | through 100% authenticity. He wants to say what he wants to say. and he just wants to be 100% truthful. |
| 2:35.6 | So he's making all of these comments in different articles, and he's offending left and right. |
| 2:41.3 | The truth is, you can't go your whole life with 100% authenticity. |
| 2:46.2 | You have to have a filter, and you have to have a governor on things you say. |
