In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, joined  by A-King, and Jason “Jah” Lee move from food conspiracies to crime, mental health, politics, and corporate accountability. After previewing the episode [00:44], the crew debates whether viral claims that some oxtail is actually kangaroo tail make sense financially or logistically [03:13], with detours through a Florida trip [04:40], Jamaica’s buffet and oxtail culture [07:41], the origins of the kangaroo-tail rumor [10:05], exotic meats and balut [15:50], and vegan meat versus farmed fish [19:55]. In “This Is America,” they unpack the mistrial in the Lindsey Clancy case involving the deaths of her three children [22:21], debating postpartum mental health and psychosis versus intent [26:56], punishment versus justice [28:55], and questions of premeditation and the lone holdout juror [31:44]. A reported Illinois case with similarities extends the discussion [38:36] before the crew reacts to a viral proposal involving “sexual relief” services for unhoused people in Los Angeles[42:20], prompting a larger debate about what resources unhoused communities actually need [45:26]. They then examine a California proposal requiring large companies to disclose historical ties and profits connected to slavery[50:12].

The political conversation turns to President Donald Trump’s proposed $5,000 “dividend” for U.S. adults if Republicans retain control of Congress[58:24], as the crew debates whether the pitch resembles an attempt to influence voters [01:00:09], runs the math on what such a payment could cost [01:00:55], and examines why a $5,000 promise could resonate with voters facing economic pressure [01:02:38] before entertaining theories about foreign money [01:05:46]. After some NFL season talk [01:07:51], they react to a baseball umpire policing a Black Dominican rookie’s tilted cap[01:08:25], sparking a debate about respectability politics, cultural expression, and who gets to define professionalism[01:13:22]. Finally, the crew weighs Glenn “Big Baby” Davis naming other athletes in connection with healthcare fraud investigations and whether speaking publicly crosses into “dry snitching” [01:16:22], before wrapping the episode with final thoughts and credits [01:25:57].
