A.J. Rice is a columnist, writer, humorist, and general impresario. His previous book,

The Woking Dead, How Our Society's Vogue Virus, destroys our culture, was, I think we did this last year on the podcast.

His new book is The White Privilege Album, Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine People on both sides.

Welcome, Mr. Rice. Brother Mark, great to be here.

You know, it's always fun. Tangle up with the Catholics, okay? I'm ready to go here.

All right. It's your favorite Irish Catholic. Well, the white privilege album, first, just a question,

aren't you too young to be riffing off a Beatles album in your title?

I mean, how many 20-somethings will get the reference, sir? Well, you know, I will apologize to the four boys from Liverpool.

I'm not going to apologize to Yoko Ono, though, because nobody cares what she thinks. Will they get the reference? Some will.

I mean, I was raised by boomers. I'm a

millennial. I'm a geriatric millennial, but a millennial nonetheless. Everyone's got to like

the Beatles a little bit, but I will tell you, the reference that they need to get is not just

the name, but which album cover from a different band that is a little bit younger than the Beatles,

but probably just as alien to Gen Z, is my cover inspired by? If there's, so he's got a brick wall,

we've got a brick wall, we've got spray paint on the wall. I'm saying the name of it.

You know, we're going to build the wall. Yeah. And that would be Pink Floyd's the wall. That's right. So yes. Well, AJ, in 1980, Pink Floyd did a very limited tour of the wall. You probably weren't born yet.

They did a week in New York and they did three or four

days in Los Angeles and I was at the one in Los Angeles there in the in the forum there. And

they built the wall during the concert. If you've seen any photos of what I went on. It was kind of

silly when I look back upon it. But okay, to the book,

you say that you were inspired to write this book when you saw Black Lives Matter organization

come out and endorse Hamas. Why would that group, which enjoyed so much sympathy from liberals in America, even still recently, because a lot of them aren't aware of, you know, a lot of the things that have happened with that organization since.
