I seriously love KB, his perspective and depth when doing videos is refreshing.

The realisation of how the world really works is always a revelation the older I get ..54 and the surprises just keep on coming

Listening to KB reminds me of my own youth, Ayn Rand reading, Boy Scout, who joined the service at Seventeen. As I close in on fifty, I’m left of Bernie Sanders, all for a UBI, and single payer health care. Thanks to both of you for a great conversation.

KB is such a great human. I give so much respect to him.

1) This conversation was a delight 2) So glad to see in the comments how many of us are already fans of both (in my case I literally started following the two channels on the very same week, somewhere in the middle of 2018)

Two of my favorite KZfaq creators in one spot! Love it!

KB is surprisingly more soft-spoken than I would have imagined. How pleasant. 🙂

Wow!, Big fans of both your channels. This was a great Conversation. The topic about Race, and War were very educating.

I think this is the most important KZfaq video you have made so far, incredibly important topics. Do not think it is negative to discover that you have made a mistake and that society is not the way you want it to be portrayed. It never gets better if no one does anything about it. Hope you continue to educate and shake up trust in society. The United States needs it. Best regards from Norway

Just came from your most recent video Joe and I was so excited when I heard you did an episode with KB because I just started bingeing his channel and I loved it. Y’all’s talk together was wonderful. The depth you both went into was really informative

Quick tip Joe, could you please add KB’s channel to the description (and do so for other videos too in this series if you haven’t)?

Wow this was incredibly awesome

A wonderful discussion between two thoughtful educators. Thanks you guys for all the content!

it has a surreal feeling to see you guys talking to each other. it's like my worlds are colliding.

The best one yet, ya'll make a great duo, both so softspoken, have listened to this one like 5 times now.

I loved KB's video on Smedley Butler (the video about the military industrial complex). Coincidentally, Johnny Harris made a similar video but focused on bananas.

2 of my favorites together. Thank you Joe and KB. This will be watched by me many times I am sure

Now this is the crossover I needed lol, love both your channels

I remember being 22 and realizing this. I appreciate Joe's push back and I enjoyed the conversation.

Pod cast heaven. My two fav KZfaqrs. 💞👍😎

I love this, love both of you guys and this is top notch!

Two of my favorite creators in one video. Can't wait to listen to this!

I love both of these channels so much. So amped rn

Absolutely love this format, great work.

I listen to this on the pod cast a few months back and it was definitely worthwhile to hear the content again!

I really appreciate the work both of you do.

Thanks Joe and KB!

Two of my favorite KZfaqrs together, I can die happy! I love Joe's channels, but was kind of skeptical of this long form podcast style teased in some of the regular videos, but when I heard there was a "sit down" with KB, I had to check it out. If you find yourself reading this, Joe, thanks for uploading this to KZfaq, proving me wrong, and showing me what I'm missing out on--cool stuff!

Loved this conversation

GREAT CONVERSATION!!!

Excellent interview. Excellent guest.

Love both of your content. Yal both help my brain from turning to jelly. Great to see a conversation between you two. Its really a shame that folks have to be creepy and ruin fan interaction. Thanks again.

My 2 favourite youtubers, love it

Thank you for your time and effort

Now I know what to put on my tombstone. "She was a productive member of society."

I LIKE BOTH YOUR CHANNELS!!!

The Columbus video is the reason i subscribed to knowing better.

Admittedly i lean left, KB is a very wise individual it was a pleasure to listen, i was slightly apprehensive.. but its refreshing to hear an educated individual discuss these topics.

Thank you for pointing out Carlos Maza’s piece on CRT!

St. Helens, Oregon, 35 miles from Portland, +-1962 I asked my Dad "what does the sign at both ends of town on Hwy 30 that says we enforce the Green River ordinance mean?" He replied " Son it means N&_$$r get your ass out of town before sunset." Those signs stayed there for another ten years and to this day, though the signs are gone, the attitude is not.

My mother lived in a company town. She and her family came to America after WWII from Crete, Greece. She, her parents and 8 siblings lived in a coal mining town in Carbon county, Utah in a 2 room house with an outhouse.

Great conversation I love the neoslavery video

1:41:00 Oh that's why I love KB's channel...

44:34 "Is it like a lot a boredom mixed in with moments of terrifying.... or maybe not even that?" Haha loved that.

Only an American would think the Civil War "is a long time ago"... Young Nation Syndrome right there 😉

I was a Vet, use to think like KB. Been to Ukraine for several months, helped with evacs. and now the Hero thing is real again, but this time, it is about people I know that didn't make it home. They are the heroes. and war never ends, just changes location.

I never knew who KB was… I’ve had his Starship Troopers recommended to me several times, but am always leery of some things that show up. I seem to get both far right and far recommendations… so I trust nothing. I like his views and thoughts here, so I’ll have to follow up with him.

I know the Fraiser episode you're referring to and I like it also.

WE LOVE YOU!

Atlas and P-Body! Cracking Portal reference KB!

Been enjoying a lot of KB, neat to see a different side!

Perspective is a growth of individual mind set. THEREFORE When a individual has been born in a multitude of Genetic makeup. and the final skin is and was accepted In your environment . Then Excepting and Acknowledge and Respecting is the clearway for a individual Path to being RECEPTIVE.. Being negative is NEVER A OPENING to the CHANGES

Felt a bit called out by KB, when he said that with his videos he targets "People who think that they are centrists".. ouchie.. but then I remembered that I'm from Europe.. so that means something a bit different.. anyways love both of these channels, even though KB's videos are often necessarily "somewhat" depressing..

21:36 I watch Answers with Joe every Monday night. And then Jay Leno’s Garage.

In search of the Unknown was the TV series. Leonard Nimoy was the host.

Joe, joe is a man in Dallas, Texas. Who makes great KZfaq videos. Answer's With Joe is the Daddy, TMI is the kiddo and Mammy is Conversations with Joe(saphine) 😂😂😂👍💚🇮🇪

Cutting Edge Journalism. There seems to be no end to Joe's Talents/Wheel house. That ship must be as big as a super carrier. Goods Works Aulds Chaps 😂😂😂☮️💪👍😃😎🇮🇪💚💞

28:58 Pause… I knew he would say that!

1:43:34 That’s why I usually write one sentence comments.

Make no mistake. There are sundown towns in existence TODAY. This is not something that’s over.

So ContraPoints hasn't put out a video in 8 months. Social balade reports on the 7th of last month she gained 10k subs. Would that be the original air date of this interview? Inform KB shoutouts do in fact have an effect.

Would love to see an in-person meetup version of this. Speaking of Science Communicator Sceptics, I would be very interested to see you have a conversation with Philip at Thunderfoot. He has a knack for debunking with an actual experiment, through the scientific method. Also, my temporary exotic pet obsession was the sugar glider.

As a viewer please add links in the discretion for shout outs. Searches don't always work.

La Porte d'Argent!

Joe as a (contrast?)or comparison of Texan wars, you should look into the New Zealand wars. Bet not many of your viewers have this knowledge. You guys aren't the only messed up country... Just the most.

Oh, wow. Creepy. Had no idea. Stay safe out there guys.

People need to get out they comfort zone to understand how others feel

1:22:33 If you look for something, then you will find it.

I saw the Knowing Better episode about slavery and Jim Crow. You pointed out that the last case of legal slavery was in 1942. There was a reason for the civil rights movement. We have made a lot of progress in 80 years. Of course we still have privilege, but how much is due to race and how much to wealth and celebrity? How many of us accused of murdering your ex-wife and her boyfriend would be told , "just drive your Ford Bronco by when you get a chance, and we'll set you up."

36:15 I’m not sure that America is the best place ever. It’s a hell of a lot better than some other places.

Smedley Butler's ghost

I do enjoy this conversation. Having said that when KB briefly touched on free speech in my opinion he is wrong. He doesn’t understand that the Supreme Court has consistently ruled against the restriction of free speech obviously something that’s already illegal would not be allowed but that’s because it’s already illegal.

10:56 Like Gwen Stefani.

I feel like I've done something really wrong in my life for not knowing KB till last week, that you suggested to go watch his video about company towns. I'm only 15 minutes in the video, where you say that shout-out is not helpful. IT IS. Please don't stop shouting out to content creators that you like. KZfaq algorithm is really bad. We rely on you. We trust you.

Allow me to point to a mistake if I may. Things that change or evolve with time, are not always bound to all associations that were linked to their starting point or their origins. Every conspiracy theory nuts fall for that. Let me offer an analogy: you have a backpack that you used to use to carry your sweaty clothes. Then you stopped using it for that usage and for the longest time have been using that backpack to other things that are no longer related to the original use. That backpack will be known as "my gym backpack" only by you, because in reality it is no longer your gym backpack. And to put an end to the story, when you die, if you did not spend your whole life referring to your general use backpack as your gym backpack, if you let that "association" to die, your son will see your backpack and maybe take it home and show to his kids: this is grampa's backpack. When the reality of usage is terminated, the former relationships of meaning are also terminated when those maintaining those associations stop doing it. All of us have the genes that are related to the worse scum on the planet. All institutions are associated with evil, all countries only exist because of bloodshed, all power was only established by violence IN THE PAST. Its up for us now to make it better. Do you think the indians that the americans "murdered" did not murder each other and tribes did not fight each other, shedding each other's blood, before the americans arrived? The reason why power is established is to stop the bloodshed, but the establishment of power itself requires bloodshed. Things come to us, from the world in which they existed. Its up for us to do what we can to reduce human suffering. Aside from reducing needless suffering, there is no reason to judge anything morally regarding their origins because everything come from the same stock. Unless that thing continues somehow to enforce those negative values. America is America. Its not the good guys neither the bad guys. Its a country and like every other country, in their own specific way, established in violence and bloodshed. We humans, have not found yet a way to establish power without causing some level of oppression. A thing must not be forever bound to its origins, else we will not be able to produce the kind of incremental progress that we must. That is true for you as a person and for all things that evolve and can be changed with time. In the specific case of racism, victory is not having all those institutions destroyed, which have in the past allowed for racism. But victory is to occupy them, and change them for the better, with the goal of reducing human suffering, and not the goal of fulfilling some ideology. Because ideologies are also murderous and evil.

juvenile records can be sealed, adult convictions can be in expunged. in some states, anyway, Texas is not one of them.

History and engineering need to be taught more. Historical context is so important! And maths should be taught using engineering. Starship Troopers is a satire of the gung-ho 80's action movies and their culture of testosterone silliness! :) I wouldn't include it in with the Michael Bay style, military worship movies, its message is the opposite really...

I guess I'm one of the few that does not enjoy KB's work, however he does seem pretty civil.

Bailey Sarian is BIGGER than you two COMBINED ! :P thats .... .... MORE ! XD

Gifted and talented programs - you hear them compared to special needs classes because the GT kids are expected to get through their work quicker and be bored (and badly behaved) if more work isn't available

Ok, but come on, KB having wanted to teach gifted classes, only to later realise the system wasn't really fair, doesn't mean he was racist (or anyone in a similar situatuon)

1:33:52 “You’re more of a science channel”. Don’t you mean “You make a science channel”? (Referring to earlier I am a teacher; I am a …)

Anybody else notice Joe looks like Nostalgia Critic?

38:48 Having obscene language on your vehicle is not cool. It’s also disrespectful to say F- - - Biden/Trump/Nixon/John Adams/whomever.

Seems like "do what they say," is pretty good advice for dealing with the police. In a lot of videos with police shooting someone, the person who is shot was resisting arrest.

Keeping ferrets caged isn't for me- I've always let mine run free- but they are anything but a part time pet if you do so. They're like little monkeys- they can get into anything- they can squeeze through tiny spaces, they can open cabinet doors, they can turn the faucet on and off, etc. - I had to literally ferret proof my home. Every morning they wake me up at 6 am on the dot- dancing on my chest and chattering like little squirrels- they want to be turned out. I have a series of tubes that run from inside the house to a cage outside- and they want to get in the tubes and play. They chase one another and wrestle- I love my ferrets, they're awesome. I have an albino named Cha Cha and a regular grey/black colored ferret named Tricks.

Whatever happened to Our Ludicrous Future ?!?

23:54 What do you consider racist?

Hi Joe, I'm really enjoying the new channel...I know that you gave a content warning before the video, but I still had to comment on some of the topics. When you made a said your friend won't buy a tesla by he will get pulled over?!? I realize it's antidotal, but it's still not accurate. Cadillac, Lincoln, BMW, Mercedes and Lexus have been popular in the black community for generations.

Hah, KB, yes I remember be offended by your Libertarian video, but its okay.

Zamn only 222 views?

One other thing...I don't understand why anyone wouldn't explain to their kids what to do if they get pulled over. My dad was clear when I got my license, and I had the same conversation when my kid got a license. Skin color doesn't matter at all, and data supports that (see the FBI stats.) If you don't believe me, check out what Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder have to say about it.

You kids are cute. Disillusioned but cute. The next step is going to be fun for you. Hopefully you'll choose the "make the values of the myths into practice" path rather that the path of resentment, anger, and virtue signaling but that's for you to choose.

This was enlightening. I learned there are a lot of bad apples spoiling the bunch. Also I learned that egos are bigger than I thought, much earlier in the process than I would have thougt possible. I like you and ALL KZfaqrs less than I did before. Y'all aint that famous. KB seems full of himself and Joe, you seemed to latch right on to his way of thinking. This guy was a waste of an interview. Nowhere near the caliber of guest you have been having.

Omg...I thought I was done with my last comment, but the half truths keep coming. I wish you had called KB out on this one. Slavery was absolutely abolished with the 13th ammendment in Dec 1865. His justification for the 13th not being effective is ridiculous. Please point to any other ammendment that outlines a punishment (like serving 10 years) for anyone who breaks the law.
