In this episode, Mandii B and the Selective Ignorance crew recap the first quarter of 2025 with reflections on her upcoming book tour for 'No Holes Barred' (00:00), listener feedback, and key cultural and political moments from January through March. She discusses the fallout from Trump’s inauguration and the widespread impact of the LA fires (20:00), urging compassion in a time marked by growing indifference (30:07). The conversation shifts to unusual drone sightings (36:45), Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy wins and Super Bowl performance (38:09), and his ongoing rivalry with Drake (39:45). Mandii also unpacks Kanye West’s controversial place in pop culture (42:55), the influence of celebrity relationships on public opinion (46:35), and standout moments from March (50:50), including a humorous look at the month’s most outlandish headlines (01:03:15). The episode closes with bold predictions and cultural insights for the month ahead (01:05:47), all framed through the lens of society’s ongoing struggle with empathy and selective ignorance.
