I don't follow TACS or the O&J show but every once in a while I drop in and listen to both of them and from what I hear in the weeklly highlights TACS is WAYYYYY easier to listen to.O&J sounds dry,slow and unfunny.
Being on the right side of history just means that your stand ended up being popular, not that it ended up being correct. There was a time when having the ideas that these young college kids now automatically have actually required work, researching and figuring it out for yourself. You basically stumbled upon it by thinking for yourself and seeking out like-minded people. Nowadays it's rose-tinted material taught in high-school and absorbed through popular media, and these kids enter college with these ideas already in place. It requires no courage, it requires no work. They can't justify it properly, because they never had to seek it out. It's always some regurgitated slogan, quote or idea with no originality or sense of self behind it. It's a fucking mess.
Luis J Gomez really should be Ant's co-host. Or at the very least he should be the new producer for the show. I guarantee you if Luis was the producer the show would be a lot better. Although the show has gotten pretty good.
"The right side of history is an entirely nebulous concept that changes with the times and means fucking nothing except your children's children might disagree with you.
Ben Watts I couldn't imagine Jimmy with female friends. He seems to be becoming a male-apologist in recent years. Like Patrice would say, I think he's being manipulated by the pussy.
Ben Watts All those times Patrice was imparting wisdom on the show and none of them (possibly excluding Anthony) learned anything from him. Wasn't Opie dating a pornstar at one point? What an idiot. I think Jimmy has some deep-routed issues with women which are hard to pin point. Where as Patrice was straight-talking about how women are more privileged and use that against us, Jimmy just seems to have accepted them as superiors. Maybe he has the right idea. Life's too shot to be pissed-off all the time.
Action speaks louder than words. Opie is too traditional to apply those kinds of changes and Jimmy has the look of Megan's Law. Patrice was also a peer to these guys, so taking his advice all the time from a manipulative, giant, black man seems kinda dumb. Patrice would take advantage of that. Colin calls him out several times for being full of it sometimes, too. Chess 24/7 is exhausting with strange girls. I think Ant'll work that way only bc he's naturally like that anyhow (only less argumentative).
Ben Watts I haven't heard Colin call Patrice out before. I don't agree with Patrice about everything but 90% of his views on gender, the guys didn't dispute. They just basically said "That's an interesting way of looking at things" ... Yeah, the right way. It's like they were too afraid to admit he was totally right. Opie is kind-of spineless. I think Anthony is more obsessed with race issues but he does point out feminist bullshit sometimes. Patrice was convicted on a false rape allegation so that guilt trip women pull stopped working on him. I think it takes a negative experience to really open someone's eyes.
Colin shortly called him out as "fake confidence" during the breakup of Antholini. There was also the yt vid of "Busting Colins Balls" which was also the last time Patrice was ever in studio (I may possibly be wrong w that). If you've ever been sent to jail or prison or anything like that, it really instills a sense of pettiness and paranoia for that kind of stuff. You really don't have room to relax since you're perceived as evil no matter else. You don't do anything wrong and ppl are willing to kidnap you. If he had been an adult, I don't know how much job security he'd have but independently doing standup. In gender stuff, Nero still does that but it's not nearly as hilarious as Patrice.
