F.A.F.O | ENGLISH MAJORS | SEASON 3 | EP 04

The hosts comically advise Mexican people to adopt 'black' cultural markers—like specific haircuts (fades instead of 'Edgar cuts'), wearing do-rags, using wave grease, and changing food choices (carne asada on cornbread instead of tortillas)—to potentially buy time and avoid detection by ICE agents. They also specifically warn against 'Team Jordans' as a 'dead giveaway.'

The host states, 'Be black. It might buy you a little time... Get a fade. Stop wearing them little Edgar haircuts... Put a do-rag on. Get you some wave grease... Stop doing what Juan would do. Do what Dwan would do... put [carne asada] on some cornbread. That tortilla is a dead giveaway.' (0:26, 0:34, 0:41, 0:48, 0:56) And later, 'Stop buying them Team Jordans. That's how they catching y'all. They outside the mall in a ice van called Operation Team Jordan.' (22:53, 22:58)

The hosts argue that authorities and media exhibit clear double standards, treating violence against a white woman during the January 6th Capitol riot as martyrdom, while a Latina woman shot by ICE officers is dismissed with 'What do you expect?' They assert that government agencies like ICE are targeting anyone who doesn't align with their 'ideology,' starting with minority groups, and that 'white friends' often fail to believe accounts of police misconduct until it affects their own communities.

The host contrasts, 'The lady that got shot when they did the capital thing, oh, she was a hero. She was a martyr... But this lady gets shot and what do they say? What do you expect?' (11:18, 11:31) And, 'If they do it to us, what you think they f to do to you? Anybody got any white friends when you told them anything that didn't happen to you where it happened by the police? Your white friends would look at you and they would say they can't do that.' (12:01, 12:17)

As a form of resistance against perceived corporate and governmental abuses, the hosts advocate for 'getting petty' in real life. This includes actions like throwing nails on roads when ICE is present, shouting 'pedophile protector' at public figures, signing up for free trials and immediately canceling, buying and returning items, filling shopping carts without purchasing, and deliberately wasting company time on customer service calls.

The host suggests, 'I can throw a little little ball of nails out in the road when they say ice coming down your street.' (50:26) And, 'Start f with these companies. Get a trial. Cancel that s. Buy some s return it immediately. Take a bunch of s up to check out and don't get it.' (51:44, 52:00, 52:07) Also, 'Call these companies. Take up their time on the phone. Get you a phone just for that. Let me speak to the supervisor. Do that s like eight times. Then when you get to the supervisor, you know you a s ass s and just hang up.' (53:19)

The hosts challenge the popular notion that 'wealthy people talk about ideas,' arguing that wealth can lead to a detachment from human reality, resulting in 'ideas' that are often self-serving, absurd, or even harmful. They cite Elon Musk's Cybertruck design and the concept of moving to Mars as examples of wealthy individuals' 'ideas' that lack practical human benefit or are driven by an inability to 'get rid of all these motherfuckers' on Earth.

The host states, 'just cuz a s wealthy don't mean the ideas that they talk about are good... you talk about ideas when you're wealthy because you can't relate to being a human being anymore.' (33:17, 33:40) And, 'Elon Musk, come on, man. Super villain and ain't ashamed of it... I want to build an electric car that looks like the inside of a kitchen on the outside.' (34:09, 34:21)
