Streetlight Angels Podcast
Are You Thinking For Yourself, Or Just Following Media?
Josh and Eugene dive into the pervasive problem of media manipulation, examining how news outlets, celebrities, and social media influencers shape public opinion through biased reporting, misinformation, and exploitation of trust. They explore real-world consequences when people mistake perception for reality.
• The weather forecast as a perfect example of media manipulation for ratings
• How social media influencers push dangerous challenges for views
• Media's role in exacerbating rather than healing racial divisions
• Celebrities using their platforms to promote political agendas without encouraging critical thinking
• The danger of educators imposing personal biases instead of teaching facts
• The critical distinction between perception (which can be manipulated) and reality (which exists independently)
• The importance of fact-finding and independent research before forming opinions

hey everybody, welcome back to uh, streetlight angels podcast. I'm your co-host, josh, and I'm with eugene here, my other co-host. What's up, eugene? What's up josh? Man, you ready to talk about this episode? Someone's gonna be a little bit heavy. I believe I'm ready. I believe it's going to be a little heavier than uh, than we have.
Speaker 1:Um, also, too, this is not an episode for the, the weak minds. It's a little bit more aggressive. You know that's what this podcast originally for. And then you know episode 11 on to the end of all time is going to be, obviously, you know, a little bit more adult driven. Because we're the ones who are affecting our children and we're the ones that are making these problems and we're the ones who have destroyed this opportunity for our kids to go outside and play until the streetlights. Now, maybe not just you personally. When I say we're the ones, I'm saying we're the ones as a village who have created this disgusting dynamic that we're kind of driving into into the future, and we're we got to get away from it. And so this podcast is now shifting gears full force into. We don't give a shit anymore about those feelings. We don't care about somebody's opinion on crap. You know what I mean, like we just don't care anymore and it's got to change, and this is that platform.
Speaker 2:And thankfully we have social media that can give us the opportunity to step outside the realm of misinformation and focus on the reality of what's going on in our villages and in our schools and what we see on a daily basis.
Speaker 1:That's right. So I mean, you said it media manipulation. We have this media platform, the podcast, which we could use to our advantage if we had a personal vindictive agenda, Right Right and we could use that as a media manipulation to get the listeners to go in our direction. But that's not what we're going to do. What we're going to do is call out the media manipulation to get the listeners to go in our direction, but that's not what we're going to do. What we're going to do is call out the media manipulation.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:So, like I've seen it and heard about it, so much fake news. Right, you hear about fake news. You hear about biased reporting, social media, echo chambers. You hear about these people with power on media and they use that power to manipulate children, people that aren't very well educated you know what I mean and they use that maybe for their own personal bias opinions, or maybe they're being paid to use that platform or their power as a mainstream media influencer or something right.
Speaker 2:What they do is they end up creating that trust, and so then you take it to heart what they say because you trusted them and you know it's kind of like your weatherman is like because he's been right. You know X amount of times you think, oh well, I'm not going to make plans because it's going to rain all day and it was sunshine.
Speaker 1:That's right's right. Yeah, exactly that, man. The weather is like the worst fake news in the world. Man, weather channels unbelievable. And you would think after in the 21st century, they would at least know if it's gonna freaking rain all day or not. Right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Well, you're right that trust is built what I think is is that we know they know because of our experiences with the military when they shut down flights. That's right, you know what I mean. It's like, oh, it's serious because these things change, sure and uh, but as far as when you look at the commercial media weather, it's like flights are still going on. Yeah, you know, and you're like, okay, why is flight still going?
Speaker 1:you know, going If there's going to be a tornado that comes across my house today, right, which they're telling us. Like, for example, just the other day, man, we were shutting down, thinking the hurricane was coming in Right, and honestly, I got a little bit of wind dude in my yard Meanwhile, like I mean, okaloosa County was on high alert, like the whole freaking southern hemisphere of the United States. Southeast hemisphere was completely shut down. Now, it did affect a lot, but where?
Speaker 2:we're at yeah.
Speaker 1:We were yeah.
Speaker 2:I end up canceling a show in Mississippi because it was going through and some of the comics who are based out of there called me like, yeah, our power is out, but right now the theater hasn't canceled. That's right. But we're, you know, we're just alternatives. So like I just don't like driving through storms for long periods if it's brief, like some time when I'm going through jacksonville. But I was like all right, let me keep watching it. And actually where the show was did not, but around that town had had significant stuff and I know from Nashville.
Speaker 2:we've had where the surrounding areas have gotten tore up, but then we've had where the surrounding areas did not get touched. But Nashville was destroyed.
Speaker 1:So it's like you build that trust and then you assume you base your life on that trust, and this is just as basic as the weather channel. My grandmother's 80th birthday was this last weekend. I was going to make the drive, but I didn't because it was literally the same day that this storm hit that entire section. Now, I didn't get hit, but I couldn't have drove all the way up. So you build this trust factor with and what you think is the news Right, which is we're talking weather right now? Right, but it's. You build that trust factor and then, all of a sudden, it's not as accurate as it should be. That's what's happening with media manipulation, for everything, though.
Speaker 2:And part of it is because because we're using weather right now is they need the ratings and they need the numbers, so they over dramatize these situations so that we can check back. Because I kept checking and kept checking to see because this is my living, you know, so I'm like and they were getting numbers every time you were checking. Yeah, every time I'm checking, they're getting paid they had me hooked.
Speaker 2:That's right, because you know and you know. And then, if it wasn't them, it was my wife saying I'm concerned, I've seen this. They had her hooked right, so I wasn't really worried, right? I didn't want her worried about me being on the road, me being in a ditch somewhere, you know, because she had this vision. Yeah, I'm driving through this storm, the tornado's going to pick me up in a minivan. They're giving me a real-life.
Speaker 1:Twister movie, yeah, and you're flying across, like you know, some Wizard of Oz and we just watched Twister, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:And so she was like I'm just, you know, worried about you. I want you, you know, to do your show and everything. It was like I'm just, you know, worried about you, I want you, you know, to do your show and everything. But, you know, I just it's like no money is worth. And I was like, and it's true. Well, I told her, I was like, well, just think about it If something did happen, that insurance looks pretty good, that's right, she'd be like you know what, go ahead and take that drive.
Speaker 1:Well, be safe, baby, you know. But you're right, it's a little different now and that trust factor is gone. You know what I mean. And now our nation in general just doesn't trust the news, regardless whether you're left watching you know CNN or if you're right watching Fox. You know what I mean. If I'm a right watching CNN or watching Fox, I don't, I don't believe any of this anymore.
Speaker 2:Well see, that's the difference between you. You say Americans, yeah, I think it's kind of 50 50. You have that sense of where you will trust, but verify that's right, yeah, and so your own damn research on them.
Speaker 1:Facts Right? Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2:And then you have other folks that have that trust and so they don't verify, and so that's where the media manipulation comes in, because they need those numbers. So they know. You know there's enough people out there who are. Some people use that term sheep, you know, and I use it all the time. Don't be a damn sheep. You know, I can't stand it yeah.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:You got a sheep dog out there and you got a shepherd out there looking after you, you still got to be vigilant and look around, because a lot of times, since we say sheep, I've been on farms before and they're looking around and the shepherd and the dog knows the sound, the warning sounds that they give each other, so they're using the sheep right, yeah, to help them get to where they need to go to do their job.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah. And so they make that warning sound. And so now the shepherd and the shepherd's dog is on alert, and they're looking around and they're saying, okay, what made them nervous? And then they're like, oh, okay, they saw a rustle in the bush. Oh, that's a deer. That's right, you know. I mean, that's not a predator.
Speaker 1:So basically, be a sheep, but be an educated sheep If man, because he's smart. Some of us are built that way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, some of us are built like. I have a friend who's a pastor, and sometimes you don't need everybody in the church to be a preacher. Sure, you need some people to follow and some people to lead, yeah. And. Or like my grandmother was, oh no, my uncle would say too many chiefs, not enough Indians, and so everybody. Then you take it with a grain of salt, doesn't mean that they're being dishonest with you, but that means you don't believe it wholeheartedly, right?
Speaker 1:use your own deduction skills, right. That's where the common sense comes into play. Yes, so even if you don't believe the facts that you've seen, or not believing you don't have enough facts, right, then go ahead and utilize your own deduction skills, not just go jump on the train of misinformation. You know what I mean. Stop doing that, because what's happening is you're allowing yourself to be impeded and your knowledge to be kind of watered down by mainstream media or manipulation or by misinformation. And what you're doing is now, what are you doing?
Speaker 1:You're doing the worst thing you could possibly do is miseducate or misinform your damn children Right, you know what I mean or your youngins, or even your peers, right, and now they are jumping on because they trust you. They trust you more than anything in the world. So if you don't even know your own ass from a hole in the wall, how are you going to be able to tell your children that stuff? Right, and then you're going to you're really going to think that those children are going to be raised properly or educated? No, so-. Here's another thing Like there's influencers out there that are just unbelievably powerful to my kids.
Speaker 2:You got to think there's an influencer out there who convinced people to do a laundry pod challenge. Oh yeah, that's right. You know what I mean Eating the pod or whatever that was so you have influence out there that have that much control over A young mind.
Speaker 1:A young mind, or even an adult mind. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:You know, to put something that is poisonous, sure and toxic in their mouth and see how long they can hold it Disgusting, and you know things like that. You know it was different when it was like silly stuff, like the ice bath challenge, you know, or the ice bucket challenge. Yeah, we even did that at the fire department to raise money, raise money yes, and and it's, it's, it's good.
Speaker 2:You know, good nature is one thing, but is we got influencers now that, even like the hot chip challenge, where you know this thing is so hot that some people?
Speaker 1:you know their throats are closing up and they're dying or they're suffocating.
Speaker 2:How hot it is yeah, and so let's say the first time it happens that same influencer says hey, I realize this is not safe, let's not do this. You have no influence to saying let's not do these things. It's like everybody is like, oh, it's my turn. That person got 100,000, a million views, let me do it so I can get I out a hundred thousand a million views, let me do it so I can get a man. It's like they all kids are seeing this right and so they're just trading, right, you know negativity for numbers, right, and and that's what, uh, the manipulation is is whether it's these big news networks, they're trading negativity and drama.
Speaker 1:Well, the superstars man, not just the news. The news is obviously you know my opinion in the news stupid as hell. At this point now it's been destructive to us and hell, you're black, right, I'm white. Okay for the, for the viewers, right, you were born black, right and I was born white.
Speaker 2:Well, I consider myself being born handsome. Okay, handsome, handsome, burly, yeah, that's right burly.
Speaker 1:my point is is really this is there wasn't felt, and I've talked to some of my friends that are black, that have have built more racial issues since the media has really been pushing it Right, Like maybe they weren't racist before but they may be a little bit now. They don't try to be, but they, you know, it's kind of almost enforced on them via media or, you know, misinformation or manipulation.
Speaker 2:right, you start thinking that if this is true, I need to be worried. Right, you know what I mean. And the thing is, is that yeah, I'll give you a prime example of why I feel like the media manipulates, especially when it comes to racism, is, I was coming here, stopped at a light. I saw two white females breaking open a box of Slim Jims and handing one to the passenger Right, and I rolled down my window and waved and said hey, can I have one? And she was like sure, and was getting ready to give me one. I was like I'm just kidding and I invited him to my comedy show. Oh, cool, but it's just. I know I've been around enough people to know that not everybody is scared of me. That's right. But if you went off of the description that is given in the media, you know black, male, long hair. But I know I also carry myself with a smile and I'm always willing to be kind to everybody.
Speaker 1:Right, right, and so it's reciprocated. Yeah, that energy is put out by you immediately Right Versus, you know, having this media misinformation that's going to kind of put that stigmata on you Right and not allow you to be that Right and same with me Now. There's a lot of people saying this now is like a middle-aged white man, is like what you don't want to be these days right.
Speaker 2:you know what I mean and and that's that fits me exactly. Well, and that's because of the way the media has made you out to be, if not what you are, and that's the same experience that a lot of minorities have gotten in the past and now you have. Like, you have a lot of social media commentary that discuss some of these things are just to build numbers. That's right Is to make you tune in so that you could be Well tune in to Streetlight Angels man, because we're going to tell you we're all a minority.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:We are all minorities at this point, because we're all dummy, dumbed down by the stupid media and the manipulation that has been embedded into us in the last 10 years.
Speaker 2:But wait, this is the. This is what makes us the biggest minorities, regardless of our color, is that we want common sense back. We want that village back that looks out for each other, and so those like minded people continue to tune in because they want the same things. Is that it's like when I go into a VFW or a community center, or even a mall? Sure, it's like I speak to people who have kind eyes. That's it. That's the only thing that matters to me? Sure, it's like I speak to people who have kind eyes. That's it. That's the only thing that matters to me. Sure, is you know, and sometimes, if you have sad eyes, I speak to you because I feel like you know, I want to be a Behringer of joy. I don't want to bring any drama into your life know, or they have been.
Speaker 1:I think it's now, it's time for I say this all the time recalibration, right, right, and then allow yourself to hold not only we've talked about this before not only hold yourself accountable, but hold your peer accountable, like if you're acting like a tool man. I'd tell you and same with you to me I would be. You'd be like josh dude.
Speaker 2:That was that was kind of stupid I think it's important, I think so help me, yeah, and that's the thing is that if you know where it's coming from, then you know.
Speaker 2:When somebody says, oh well, don't do that, or that appear to be this way, and you know, oh, I didn't think about that is. A lot of times when we get corrected, we get offended, right or defensive, and offended, yeah, and that does have something to do with pride, but it also has to do with your morality being obscured in a sense. And you know, and so I'm like I'm not the type that think that I did in the past and this is how I correct it. I'm like, boom, that may work for me. So it's in the back of my mind, especially like when we're talking about speaking engagements, short networking and things like that. A lot of times now, people only want to network when it comes to money, profitability, not when it comes to family. I see a good family at the playground. I'm like, hey, we need to schedule a play date because I need my children to learn how to pick and choose good people to be around. Sure.
Speaker 1:Find that good energy, stick with it.
Speaker 2:Maintain that, don't just pick just because you like them Right, know that they're good people? Yep, and that's why they got picked that's right it.
Speaker 1:It could be reciprocated. You know what I mean. They're gonna treat you just as well and and so I think that a lot of the um, you know, misinformation and the manipulation that's really put on us is there's too much power giving to. You know some of these superstars and you know there's not and I'm not just talking about on on a political aspect, or even just like youtube. You got like country singers, you've got, you know, rap stars, you've got movie stars and they want to get into like politics. Man, shut up. You're an entertainer, right. Keep your mouth shut on your politics. You want to say it publicly? Fine, go for it. But you better damn well say this is my opinion, my opinion alone. Maybe give us some facts as why it's your opinion, but do not endorse your political view or push that on your fans just because, right, you think it's the right thing, right. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:And that irritates me with a passion. Like there was a rapper that I loved, man, I loved him so much, you know. I mean I, I thought he was amazing lyrical genius, and then he started getting into politics. And now it's like, I mean, I, I thought he was amazing lyrical genius and then he started getting into politics and now it's like I like his music but he's an idiot, right? You know what I mean? And it irritates me because he went down a couple notches on my and I don't enjoy his music as much anymore. You know what I mean. Same with actors. My top three favorite actors of all time are now not, and because they wanted to put put their dumb ass opinion and try to kind of manipulate people to follow them Like shut up, you are an artist, be an artist. You're not a politician, you're not. You know I mean whatever. Keep your damn shit to yourself and let us enjoy.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. And the only reason why the media gave them the platform is because of their career that's right In in Hollywood, that's right. Not their career as an activist or as a political entity looking out for our good America's good Right, or even on a major yeah.
Speaker 2:And so that's the thing is like OK, let me see how much limelight I can get in this arena. Now the celebrities that I like and appreciate, they'd rather put their money towards that candidate and let that candidate do their thing, not say OK, because if that person has a great platform, then they need the resources to get it out there. If it's appropriate, let us, as the public, see their platform and see it appropriate, not see that, okay, you got celebrity behind you, but no public backing. You know why would you even need a celebrity? If I was in the politics, I would say you know, I appreciate it, but I need the people behind me, not not necessarily. You know, I appreciate it, but I need the people behind me, not necessarily. You know, not your face, that's right, because that's what happens, is that their face becomes the marquee. That's right. And you're the sidebar. So now it's almost like if you're for the public, then you shouldn't be a puppet.
Speaker 1:I mean, look how many fans and followers Swift lost when she endorsed Kamala, right, right, like she just lost a bunch. I don't know her personally, right, but I do know that you have such an influence't flip, do you got to go back and take away?
Speaker 2:Oh well, I believed in them, then I don't now, that's right. No, it would be better to use your platform to say verify everything you hear from everybody, right do?
Speaker 1:your research. Yeah, use that wisdom, use that, exactly that power. Yeah, as a, as a as a if taylor swift came out and said, blue or red, even get out of the politics. Well, actually, here's a question when was the last time you felt comfortable voting? When was the last time we struggled to pick who we wanted to to vote for? Do you remember? I don't remember the last time I was like dang, there's two presidents, I don't know which one I want to pick, because they're both awesome.
Speaker 2:Right, you almost don't want to think about it to the last minute because of so much misinformation. That's hard. Yeah, it's like when I was growing up we would even discuss politics in middle school, like this candidate and then this candidate, and it was just give you information, right, like no t-fix. Now you have teachers who've gotten influence and you know, my thing is is that man when you is everything that you do when you're raising a village.
Speaker 2:Yeah, should have more to do with teaching independent thinking. That's right. If you had like, if you had every celebrity that's out there now saying do the research. And a lot of it is available on the web, that's right.
Speaker 1:Or help with that research, right, you know what I mean. Help fund fact finding yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, help fund the library yeah exactly Because that's one of the reasons why libraries are losing funding because nobody's going there to do research and people don't realize is that librarians their whole job is to bring stuff into the library that can inform the public, and that's why you have fact and fiction.
Speaker 1:That's right dude. I cannot stand the idea of ripping history down because it had some kind of negative influence on us currently or how we feel current, how people's feelings feel about it currently. Don't take the history away, because that is going to destroy you come that's right, you, what do we always say it all the time? Learn from other people's mistakes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean like you know, I grew up in the inner one of the worst neighborhoods in Nashville. Yeah, I live in one of the best neighborhoods in Crestview right now, Right, right. And so it's like I don't want to destroy where I came from just because I'm in a better place now. That's right. It's like I need to teach my children obstacles are going to come in life and you do have to learn. That's right In order to make sure that you're not stuck where you're at.
Speaker 1:So, ultimately, media manipulation is there and it's got to be clear by now to you. If you're living under a rock and you don't see it, listen to this Streetlight Angels podcast, because Main Street Media is there and we are not telling you to be biased in any way. We are literally just shedding light on the fact that it's there and it's been shed probably many times, a million times over, by all these others. We're just giving another platform for that Right With a media manipulation and misinformation. All we got to tell you from this aspect and from our point of view, is do your own damn fact researching, right, right, and then tell your kids to do the same damn thing.
Speaker 2:Oh teachers.
Speaker 1:Man, if you're trying to manipulate my kids or any of my friends' kids or any of my village's kids based on your own biased opinion, you are not an educator. You're not an educator. Get your ass up out of the seat and go find another profession. Right, Because I don't want that in my school system. I don't want my kids kids to have to deal with stupid people like that. You know what I mean Exactly. Shut your mouth, get to the basics, teach the facts, do what you're supposed to do as a facilitator, as an educator, as an adult for our children, and then you move on you know what I mean and let them live their life.
Speaker 2:As an educator, if you look at the curriculum they're giving you and you feel like there's some manipulation involved in it, there's still always a foundation of free thinking. Whether you're looking at history and what where we came from, or whether you're looking at science, it's more important that my children know how to read and comprehend than almost what they're reading. Know how to read and comprehend, then, almost what they're reading. Yeah, right, I mean I don't want to read in garbage, but I learned how to read from comic books, yeah, more than I did textbooks, sure, and that was because I had the desire to know the story right. And even now I've their organizations out there that created comic books to teach history and different sciences, just because they know that, constructively, that's what's catching the reader's attention, right, and so that format, and so why not endorse that? In a sense of? My grandmother used to say whatever is going to help you learn is what I'm going to support, and you know. And so we go to after school programs specifically because it was going to help us in school.
Speaker 2:But the media is so tricky Sometimes they slide stuff in and you don't even realize. You could watch an episode of Grey's Anatomy and it has some type of social significant to the producer and writer. You know, because they that's how they try to keep your attention is they look at premises that we're dealing with now and they write a story about it. They have a bias. It's not a neutral story, it's always a bias, you know, and they'll address, like those things. And you know it's episodes on different things. One episode that I can think of now had to do with medications and how some doctors misdiagnose and not admit that they misdiagnosed.
Speaker 1:Because they're like a practice, right. Yeah, oh yeah, you can't do anything to that doctor because they were just practicing and yeah, in real life those things happen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and in real life those things happen. And because of the way the media is, is that they may only tell us about the stories on the sides that are for them, or for the numbers. That's right. Like you hear about an incident, it's like why are they airing that, you know when, as opposed to something that actually matters to our village, to something that actually matters to our village, I feel like when I'm looking at the news, half of it makes sense of why they're reporting it and the other half seems like a waste of time, in a sense of like. That does not apply to what's. You know what's going on.
Speaker 1:You got to filter it out. So much man, and so there's so many different narratives, and the narratives are trying to shape everything, but everything's based off of perception.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Right, and and I this is the worst saying in the world, I hate this saying with a passion it's what you perceive is right. Perception is reality. That's bullshit, right? Perception is not reality. Reality is reality and perception is perception. Perception is not a fact.
Speaker 1:Reality is the fact of something, right, right, and so I've heard that so many times in my life. Well, you perceive to not do this at work or you are in your it's under the perception that blah, shut up. You know what I mean. I don't care if you perceive all day long what's the reality, what's the facts right now, if everybody could fine-tune or maybe pivot themselves to just look at the reality of something versus the perception of something and there's fact finding themselves right, then then is when you get that good, positive education that's going to allow you to make good, positive choices, right, right, and then it's going to allow you to ultimately positively affect your children, you know, I mean, or the children around you, or whatever the case may be, right.
Speaker 1:We will pick up this episode and what we're talking about at another time. This is a very obviously huge subject and because what it's doing is it's destroying families, it's destroying villages, it's you know we say communities, it's, it's villages, it's destroying friendships, um, because, uh, you know, people just aren't thinking for themselves. Yes, right, and they're allowing manipulation, media manipulation and just misinformation and bias reporting and fake news and social media echo chambers. It's allowing all of this to give you a perception, right, when you should just be looking at the reality of it.
Speaker 2:Right. I think that you know the takeaway is the main goal in this message is to think for yourself and for yourself, fact find and think for yourself right, hear what we're saying and fact find it. That's right. And if, if, if you find a flaw in what we're saying, address it in the comments so that that way we, we can look at it and be like okay, well, in the content I can see how you took it that way or you're correct. You know, we have no problem with that. But fact find our facts.
Speaker 1:You know what?
Speaker 2:I mean or fact find.
Speaker 1:us trying to tell you to fact find yeah.
Speaker 2:Fact, find whether or not the media manipulates American society Exactly. You know.
Speaker 1:I bet you, man, you talk about a rabbit hole. Yes, they man you talk about a rabbit hole. Yes, they're going to be finding all kinds of stuff now.
Speaker 2:You'll be up at four or four in the morning mad at us because there's too many facts that prove that's right. The reason why they call television programming because they know that element of programming If, if, if you adhere and listen to it enough, it's going to affect you, even on a subconscious level. And maybe the next time we just need to have a psychologist or a therapist talk about how programming works when it comes to media attention.
