Key takeaways 8
Zach was fired by Riot Cast, not the hosts, and will likely still appear at upcoming live shows at Gramercy Theatre (March 19) and Wall Street Theater (April 29).
The host has adopted a plant-based diet after medical advice, resulting in improved health metrics (lower blood pressure, lipids) and weight loss, fitting into size large Lululemon pants.
George Washington Carver did not invent peanut butter (invented by John Harvey Kellogg); Carver was known as the 'Black Leonardo' and was the first African American teacher/faculty at Iowa State University.
Carver took a significant pay cut to head the agriculture department at Tuskegee Institute at Booker T. Washington's request, prioritizing service to the black community over personal wealth.
Carver advocated for racial unity, believing people should be seen as individuals rather than defined by race, though the hosts speculate he may have held private reservations about white society.
Carver promoted crop rotation (sweet potatoes after cotton) to help sharecroppers and restore soil health in the South.
The new co-host Andrew is described as an Israeli Jew living in Astoria, with a shirt resembling flea market finds from Armenia or Romania.
The hosts discuss the cultural significance of vehicle types, associating SUVs with masculinity and sedans with being 'gay' or 'FF' (fart fart), while noting the practical benefits of white Jeeps (hides dirt).
