The RICE Club

I recap week one of the NFL and discuss my fantasy stars and duds. 

I talk about two of my fantasy football teams. HOPEFULLY NO ONE GETS COVID AND NFL DOESN'T GET CANCELLED. GO NINERS. 

Welcome to RICE Cycle where we literally or figuratively rest, ice, compress, and elevate! In this episode, we have a naughty sofa that gets stuck, boba addiction, mental health issues, and more! Enjoy!

Cancel culture is now a hot topic on the left. I share my thoughts about it along with other phrases common on the #woke left. 

Ryan and Vince talk about how they figuratively rest, ice, compress, and elevate. Disclaimer: Elements of this episode are not meant to be taken seriously and are not a reflection of the values of either host.

This is a followup to my last episode "RPR: George Floyd, BLM, Police Violence, Antiracism - A Critical Assessment." I go over the corporate response to the death of George Floyd, the idea of defunding the police, and the removal of monuments. Music by Lukrembo

George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers on May 25th, 2020. His death sparked nationwide protests demanding justice for Mr. Floyd and an end to police violence. The dominant discourse utilized by activists and demonstrators relied on a race reductionist, liberal antiracist framework. We should all be vehemently opposed to racism, prejudice, and discrimination, but the antiracist line...

"Solidarity Forever" was written by trade union activist Ralph Chaplin in 1915. It has been covered by a multitude of artists including Pete Seeger.  Underneath the simple and catchy tune is a message of solidarity and desire to create a more fair and just society. Listen to the song here.

In this episode, I talk about tendencies within contemporary left/liberal circles and how they are unhelpful towards the project of organizing the forces necessary to challenge power. 

Someone I know recommended an article off Quora about politics in America. Not only was it unremarkable, it was completely off the mark regarding Bernie Sanders and progressive politics.  Article here Edit: The "article" is actually an answer to a Quora question of the same title. The author of the piece remains the same.

I talk about Bernie Sanders dropping out of the presidential race and share my thoughts on some criticisms levied against him. There's a part where I mistakenly say "superior court" instead of "Supreme Court." Music credits go to Lukrembo.

Our only hope against the neoliberal assault is to build a mass movement of working people from all backgrounds. This includes combating race reductionism and essentialism. Apologies for the low quality sound. Credit goes to Lukrembo for his awesome music.

I share my thoughts about this year's general election  and why I'm #NeverBiden

In this episode, I talk about Bernie Sanders, the Left, the media, and Andrew Yang. Credit to Lukrembo for his awesome music https://www.instagram.com/lukrembo

The thought of working forever is a scary one. I use Marx's theory of alienation to briefly talk about the problems with work. 

We're back boys and girls! Get your bowls and chopsticks and dive into our newest episode of FORBIDDEN RICE.

We're heading into Super Tuesday folks! How do the candidates fare? Also, the mainstream media is at it again with their crazy antics.   Note: This episode was created prior to the South Carolina Primary

Bernie wins Nevada! We're on a roll baby!

How could the Star Wars sequel trilogy be so bad? I take a look at the various issues plaguing the new Star Wars films. 

The 2020 Iowa caucuses were a prime example of extreme incompetence, mismanagement, and ineptitude. 

It's been 29 episodes since Joyce and Ryan have recorded A Terrace House Podcast... Talk about inconsistency. Included is a breakdown of "P3 E7: Publicity Stunt." The main question being, whereth doth ye stand on the courtship of Ryo the Dominican? Listen to this as a warmup for "P3 E8: I Hate You", which just dropped today! Send questions and comments to @joycez914, @rynlouie, and/or the contact...

Vince goes over some phrases commonly said in the corporate world that annoy the hell out of him. 

Ryan and Vincent review Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Time for a quick update on the people's champ, Bernie Sanders!

Is LeBron James a socialist? Probably not. His new ad for Nike does question our love for "rags to riches" stories. Instead of applauding athletes who escape their terrible circumstances to achieve greatness, we should eradicate the conditions that produce such unequal and unjust outcomes in the first place.
