Fear Of Missing Drake | Bonus

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance , Mandii B, A-King, and Jason “Jah” Lee tackle the everyday “audacity” of life in America, kicking things off [ 00:00 ] with some crusty-mouth fears [ 00:17 ] before asking why everybody seems increasingly entitled [ 00:52 ] . They discuss rising gas and flight prices and how financial circumstances shape everyday decisions [ 01:25 ] , then debate passengers taking or requesting better airplane seats without paying [ 03:11 ] , middle-seat etiquette [ 04:36 ] , courtesy involving children [ 05:47 ] , and navigating strollers on public transportation [ 06:29 ] .

The etiquette wars continue with aggressive merge lanes [ 10:49 ] and parking-spot standoffs [ 12:29 ] before shifting to tipping and service culture , comparing slower restaurant service in Paris [ 14:14 ] with a lengthy experience at Atlanta’s Steak Market, where a 20% service charge didn’t count as a tip [ 16:06 ] . The crew questions whether tipping culture has gone too far [ 20:36 ] , along with QR-code and Toast ordering [ 21:48 ] , streaming subscription creep [ 23:28 ] , Apple price hikes [ 24:04 ] , mysterious Apple charges [ 25:09 ] , and a Gmail data lawsuit [ 25:43 ] , followed by a quick lipstick-check break [ 26:31 ] .

The conversation turns to corporate sponsorship, politics, and moral accountability as the crew reacts to Palantir sponsoring Congressional Black Caucus events despite controversy surrounding the company’s government surveillance and immigration-enforcement work [ 26:55 ] . That sparks a broader debate about sponsors, boycotts, corporate money, the NFL, and where complicity begins and ends [ 29:35 ] before the hosts react to Shaquille O’Neal receiving an honorary FBI designation [ 34:17 ] .

They then debate accusations of hypocrisy involving Jay-Z, business relationships, and political expectations [ 35:20 ] , followed by a discussion sparked by Don Lemon and the midterm elections [ 41:21 ] . Finally, Mandii, A-King, and Jah examine how today’s “crash-out” rappers increasingly self-snitch through social media, surveillance cameras, and their own digital footprints [ 48:17 ] , question where the experienced OGs and mentors are when younger artists need guidance [ 51:57 ] , and close out the bonus episode with final thoughts and credits [ 54:11 ] .
