*Originally aired July 17th, 2026

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and Jason “Jah” Lee for an entertaining conversation covering concert culture, hip-hop, nostalgia, addiction, celebrity headlines, relationships, and modern social dynamics. The episode kicks off with a debate about "cultural credit" and whether it's ever appropriate to ask artists and industry friends for concert tickets or backstage access [01:43]. The crew shares insider tips on navigating smaller concert markets and maximizing live music experiences[03:26], before discussing the tours they're most excited about, including J. Cole's The Fall Off Tour, Usher, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Vince Staples, and even unexpected performances at venues like SeaWorld[06:01][08:33]. From there, they examine how nostalgia continues to fuel the booming live music economy, with legacy artists drawing massive crowds decades into their careers [10:18], before reflecting on T.I.'s career resurgence, retirement conversations, and evolving ambitions[11:49]. A brief detour into stand-up comedy and future creative plans keeps the conversation moving [14:37], before the crew turns its attention to Future's latest album and the current state of Atlanta hip-hop, debating whether the city's sound is entering a new era of "reconstruction" [16:05].

The discussion then shifts toward addiction, public perception, and substance use, beginning with reflections on methamphetamine, the struggles of former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, and the realities of addiction[19:39]. The hosts share candid personal stories about encounters with cocaine and nightlife culture[21:40], before discussing changing attitudes toward marijuana, mushrooms, and recreational drug use[25:29]. A humorous internet rabbit hole involving podcasters and alleged cocaine use [26:18] quickly gives way to a more serious conversation after reacting to Ray J's viral comments about sexually transmitted diseases[28:14]. The crew separates fact from fiction by discussing sexual health, misinformation, and the dangers of spreading inaccurate medical claims online[31:21], while also examining the public conversation surrounding Princess Love, accountability, and relationship dynamics[32:25].

Closing out the episode, Mandii, A-King, and Jah explore the emotional complexities of "savior" mentalities in relationships, discussing why some people feel compelled to rescue partners at the expense of their own well-being [34:50]. They debate male-centered relationships, unrealistic expectations shaped by pop culture and Disney princess narratives[36:19][37:28], before turning to lighter conversations about declining wedding and baby shower invitations, changing social obligations, and evolving friendships in adulthood[43:12]. The crew also weighs in on internet debates surrounding fashion, masculinity, and bedazzled men's clothing[48:25], before wrapping up with a playful discussion about Mandii's New York roots versus her growing Florida identity[51:03]. The episode concludes with final thoughts, upcoming announcements, and the team's signature sign-off [56:38], delivering another candid, hilarious, and insightful bonus conversation that effortlessly blends music, culture, current events, and everyday life.

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/48f5243a-1178-47e0-ae72-b4c900d5c50f/transcript

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].

Ep. 81 | Everybody Got A Price 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/3aff915c-9cf3-4eb6-8fe9-b4c5015ea131/transcript

In this bonus “Let’s Talk About Race” episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, A-King, and Jason “Jah” Lee open with some new-segment jokes [00:00] before acknowledging that somehow everything eventually becomes about race [01:01], recapping a Jamaica trip [02:24], and revisiting the potential problems with Meta smart glasses[02:45]. The main debate begins with Fat Joe defending his use of the N-word on The Joe Budden Podcast[05:04] and Marc Lamont Hill’s response[06:38], as the crew questions whether growing up alongside Black people or being deeply connected to hip-hop culture gives non-Black people permission to use the word [08:27]. They examine Latino anti-Blackness, racism, and colorism[12:40], the unique racial and cultural dynamics of New York versus other parts of the country [24:03], and who gets access to language rooted in Black culture [25:49]. The conversation expands to accountability, allyship, and who really earns a proverbial “cookout invite”[31:35], contrasting cultural proximity with actually showing up for Black issues.

The discussion continues with Raven-Symoné’s comments about race and Black identity[33:08], including her argument that Blackness can be “universal” [34:29] and why her famous “I’m American, not African-American” explanation creates what the crew describes as “All Lives Matter” vibes[39:50]. From there, things get considerably lighter with light-skin jokes and a Harriet Tubman reference[42:17], a pressure-cooker chitlins story [43:00], and a late-night Jamaica cookie situation [43:37]. The food debate keeps rolling through soul food and its history of making something out of scraps[45:58], an argument involving grits, sugar, and pizza[48:55], and a passionate seafood boil and Old Bay rant [50:19]. Finally, the crew checks back in on Dr. Umar Johnson’s long-promised school[54:05] before closing the bonus episode with credits and a reminder to subscribe [55:00].
