1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean I often like I think about what I

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: would be like in that audience, and I know full

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,079
Speaker 1: well open will be like look under your chair, and

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: I would look to the person to the left and

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: be like, let's under there? Like just what else doing?

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: Because I was like, oh, what is she doing? I

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: just it's very hard for you to concert on anything.

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: It's like, does O perhaps something under her chair? I

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: love it. I love the idea that she gave everybody

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: a car or whatever the funk was under the chair,

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: but then she also put one under her chair for herself.

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: She's like, I have a card. I bet you got

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: a billion dollars. We get it, you got a car.

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Chips in your racist money term stuff can't tell me yeah, yeah,

15
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: there it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: to another sensational episode of My Mama Told Me, the

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: podcast where we dive deep deep into the pockets of

18
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: black conspiracy theories and we finally work to prove that

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: Dwayne the Rock Johnson is too damn buff to wipe

20
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: himself thoroughly. You think the man is a Republican because

21
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,919
Speaker 1: of financial reasons, No, he needs a slave to wipe

22
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: his butt. Now, because his muscles get in the way

23
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: of a thorough wiping. That's the theory I'm spreading. That's

24
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: some ship I actually believe. I don't think you can

25
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: reach back there anymore. I'm passionate about this subject. Don't

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: bother voting. Look more into Dwayne's muscles and everything that's

27
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: blocking him from wiping himself. I'm your host, likes think Kerman.

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm coming in hot today. Baby, I'm feeling good. You

29
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: know why because my guest today she's wonderful. She's hilarious.

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: You've seen her on Netflix, You've seen her on Nail Dick.

31
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: She's so much fun. I'm so happy she see her

32
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: give it up from my guest ms Nicole Buyer. Oh

33
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: my god. Oh that made me so happy. I haven't

34
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: heard it in a while. Yeah, you gotta let that

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: sink in for a second. I really like that conspiracy

36
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: theory that the rock can't wipe. I believe that. I

37
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: think he might have a muddy butt because he's got

38
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: too many muscles. Too money muscles leaves you with a

39
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: muddy butt. That's something my grandmother used to say all

40
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: the time. Baby, don't get too strong, you're gonna have

41
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: a muddy. But baby, I don't know when my grandmother

42
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: became from the South, but she did that from the South.

43
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: That's a fair guess that there's there's sort of a

44
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: history there that leads us to believe that's a real

45
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: possibility for most of us. I'm excited you're here. We

46
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: have I would say you came to us with a

47
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that is almost ubiquitous. It's everywhere, it's everybody

48
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: saying it, everybody knows it. It's maybe one of the

49
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: most popular conspiracy theories out in the world. You said,

50
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: my mama told me black don't crack, Black don't crack,

51
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: that you'll be the same age for forever. And then

52
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: you see it out in the world, you know, like

53
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Gabriel Union. I think she's older than we all think.

54
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: She looks beautiful. That lady is gorgeous, stunning. Yes, Like, Okay,

55
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: So here's what I think. I think the conspiracy only

56
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: really goes for women because sometimes black men loving this.

57
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: This turned on me very quickly, but go on, you

58
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: finish your idea. I feel like maybe black men do

59
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: age just a little slower, but it's black women who

60
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: really don't age. Sure, Okay, I and I will say

61
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: that there's a fair amount of evidence that what you're

62
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: saying is probably has at least it's some legitimacy. Morgan

63
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Freeman is doing worse since Selite Tyson, you know what

64
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: I mean, Like it's there's a noticeable difference than the

65
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: way that they're the two are aging, And I honestly

66
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: think it might be because women just take care of

67
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: their skin better in general. But yeah, and maybe like women,

68
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to say like men

69
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: are worse than women, but maybe that's a pretty controversial

70
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: statement at these times. On somebody, and you know, you're

71
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: just waiting at home at night for someone to come home.

72
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: Let's wrinkle you stay a little tall. If you're just

73
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: sitting there in a boiling rage at the way that

74
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: someone's treating you, that's fair. Let's start from the beginning,

75
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: Black don't Crack. Let's really get into the history of

76
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: black don't crack for you. Where do you feel like

77
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: you first heard black don't crack? Somebody say it did?

78
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: Was Was it a family member? It was a family member,

79
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure the first time I heard it

80
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: was one of my cousins at like Thanksgiving said something

81
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: about her getting older, but she was like, but I

82
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: still looked the same in the face. And then another

83
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: cousin was like, black don't crack, and I was like, okay,

84
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: black don't crack. And now that's a thing in my

85
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: vocabulary that I say now yeah, yeah, yeah. So this

86
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: cousin is like basically trying to reassure herself, like now

87
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: I still got it. And a catchphrase was now thrown

88
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: into the ether than you otherwise that not heard. When

89
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: you heard it, you were you immediately like, yes, that

90
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: is fact or did you have to like go through

91
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: your head and be like, I don't know if that's true.

92
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: I guess I just the thing that I do is

93
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: when new information hits I go, Okay, that's the thing

94
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: now and that's true. And then I wait, wait, I'm

95
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: sorry because I don't want to just skip past that

96
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: you're saying. When new information is presented to you, you go, yes, absolutely,

97
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: that is a fact, and then you move forward. Yeah.

98
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: It's a bad habit. And now with the Internet, I

99
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: have to like stop myself because I love reposting things,

100
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: So now stop myself and like look it up Nicole,

101
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: just because like he read It doesn't mean it's true

102
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: it's a problem, but you are literally what they're afraid

103
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: of with like these Russian hackers, I'm fake news all

104
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: these people who like every time that they published some

105
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: article where they're like, the Russians are taking over there,

106
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: they're hacking our elections. Part of it was like, oh,

107
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: I thought that were like hacking into like the booths,

108
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: stealing vote same and that's what I would like say

109
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: to people until I like understood it, and it was like,

110
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: oh no, they just influenced it with like Facebook ads

111
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: and ship and I was like, fuck, oh no, they've

112
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: just been private and messaging me. And uh, it turns

113
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: out I've been listening. I'm the one who told you,

114
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: and I've been telling everybody. I've been reading messages this

115
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: new information. I said, that's what it is. Sure does

116
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: that then make you nervous that black does in fact

117
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: crack and you've just been spreading it across the country.

118
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: Is this what you're gonna tell me that black does crack.

119
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you anything of the sort. I'm listen.

120
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: I've got a little stock in this game too. But

121
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is is that it's making me nervous

122
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: that we're somehow aligning, and you've refused to do any research. Listen,

123
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes okay, it's so you do the research, you were wrong,

124
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: or you do the research and you were right. If

125
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: you skip three search, you could just be right. You

126
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: could just be right the whole time. And that's that's science,

127
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: and that's America. That's America. That's that's that good American science.

128
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: Are there are there members of your family that you

129
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: feel like you could point to and go, this is

130
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: evidence of of this conspiracy theory being true, or people

131
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: in your inner circle, if you will. Yeah, my sister specifically,

132
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: she is older than me. I'm like thirty five or

133
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: thirty six seven. She's she was born in eighty five.

134
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm terrible at math and remembering. But she truly looks

135
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: like she's a teenager. And she works in a school

136
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: and sometimes they'll be like, hey, gets a class because

137
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: she was a sub for a little bit, and she's like,

138
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm the teacher, and they're like, what she's

139
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: like five foot to Her skin is so clear, it's

140
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: so baby smooth. And then she doesn't really wear a

141
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: lot of makeup, and then she just looks so fucking young. Yeah,

142
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: and then my others and jury, she looks so young,

143
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: and she's I think in her late forties. Maybe I

144
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: don't know, but she looks like she's in her twenties,

145
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: maybe like mid thirties. Yeah. I I similarly. And this

146
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: isn't it necessarily evidence of black don't crack, but it

147
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: is me sympathizing with your sister that I taught high

148
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: school when I was like twenty three twenty four, and

149
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: so there was a lot of that of like security

150
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: guards like stopping me in the hallway and being like,

151
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: where's your pass boy, You're going to the office, And

152
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, sir, I pay taxes, Please don't do this,

153
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: Please cut this out. And so I I sympathize with

154
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: a young looking person who well into their thirties, is

155
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: still being sort of harassed by these other people who

156
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: are meant to protect them or at least keep them

157
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: unannoyed throughout the day. Wait where did you teach? I

158
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: taught for a year in Chicago and then for two

159
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: year years in Boston. Which one was worse. Oh See,

160
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: that's a tricky question because because then that comes down

161
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: to which kids did I like more and some of

162
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: them probably listen to this, so they were all the

163
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: same pieces the ship to me. You know, I don't

164
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: want any of them to feel special, like they left

165
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: a lasting mark on my spirit. Fucking kids, that's how

166
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: I live my perfect answer. If you're listening children, fuck you.

167
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: I still resent you ten years later, even after I've

168
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: quit those jobs. So there's evidence in your family, there's

169
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: evidence out in the world. Black don't crack. Here's something

170
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: that I've been thinking about that I would love to

171
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: unpack with you. Do you think do you think that

172
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: this phrase has the possibility or potential of offending non

173
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: black counterparts? Are are non black peers? Tell me more well,

174
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: not to be rude, But it seems as if our

175
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: paler friends get offended by everything, even if it has

176
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: nothing to do with them. Because the phrase black don't

177
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: crack isn't saying black don't cracking. White is crusty. Probably

178
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: you're sucking dust, your nasty, dusty bitches. It's not saying that. God,

179
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: I hope I wish that that was on the back

180
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: end of that entire phrase is black don't crack and

181
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: white you're nasty, dusty bitches. You're cracking. You're cracking. Honestly,

182
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: it would be very funny. And then I'd be like, yeah, sure,

183
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: I get bad at that too, but like, yeah, it's

184
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: just it's a sentence. It has nothing to do with them,

185
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: and they sometimes get mad about it. Sure, yeah, that

186
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me. I mean, we could get political,

187
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: and it's the same thing with Black Lives Matter. Is

188
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: nothing to do with white people. It's just that certain

189
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: people matter. Just it doesn't It's like it's a period

190
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the sentence. So yeah, yeah, just

191
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: remove yourself from the situation when nobody's talking about you. Sure,

192
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: Black don't crack in a lot of ways. Is much

193
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: like your cousin being like, I still look good. I'm

194
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: still proud of the way that I look physically, and

195
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: I would love a catchphrase to help me really encompass

196
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: that feeling, make me feel pride about the way that

197
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: I look. And instead somebody's coming in like, bitch, how

198
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: could you believe in yourself in relation to me? Look

199
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: at me? Why are you not talking about me when

200
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: you want to feel good about you? Nuts. I ventured

201
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: to guess that part of what also is upsetting is

202
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: that it does sometimes get weaponized, right that, Like, it

203
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: isn't always just pride. We're not always just being like black,

204
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: don't crack, it's my birthday. Sometimes it's Now look at

205
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: this old motherfucker, you know what I mean? Look at McDonald.

206
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: He's all bruised up and is going on with Mitch

207
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: McConnell's hand glove. What the fuck is going on? He's

208
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: like dying. I posted this the other day and I

209
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: do stand by it. I do think that it has

210
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: that same look of when Dumbledore touched that ring in

211
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: Harry Potter and then he was dying and Snape had

212
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: to kill him, but it was, you know, the whole thing.

213
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, No, it's clearly a hand of death. And

214
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: we don't know why he's dying or under what circumstances

215
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: he's going to eventually be finished off, but he's clearly

216
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: this is it for all this. He's leaving this plane.

217
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: And that said, how can you look at that person

218
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: and say that white and black are the same in

219
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: terms of the way that they age. Mitch McConnell's forty

220
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: five years old. No, I'm just kidding. Oh my god,

221
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: I almost fell out of my chair. I was like

222
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: that can't. That's sick. Mitch mcconald is thirty eight years old, kidding,

223
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: I would have been telling people he forty five years old. Y'all,

224
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: this is new information. You can't keep living this way.

225
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: Seventy eight is what I'm being told he's And this

226
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: is upsetting. My producer, Hans is telling me he's seventy eight,

227
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: and he's saying he actually looks kind of good for seven.

228
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so either. How

229
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: old is Selee Tyson? She looks good. She's ninety nine,

230
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: looks good. Now I'm good. Old black people? Wait, did

231
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: you do? Old black celebrities are just old black people?

232
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: Just showing me pictures of just literally old black, right,

233
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: just a dude on a bluetooth phone, a lady stern

234
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: apot more or less. Let's see how olds Patti La Bell, Oh,

235
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: Patty's got to be at least seventy Yeah, I would

236
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: say seventy four. That's my guests. I think so. I

237
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: can't figure out how to looking it up. I'm like

238
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: reacting under the premise that you're going to be looking

239
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: it up, but no, you're like, yeah, no way to tell.

240
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: There's no way from looking now I'm looking it up.

241
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: Ye sventy six, two years older than her. Yeah, this

242
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: man's rotten. Yeah, that's a rotting man. That's not good

243
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: leather at all, whatever is on the inside. Speaking Patty,

244
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: have you ever seen were straying from the subject, But

245
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: have you ever seen her sing for Bill Clinton? No Christmas,

246
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: Christmas something I think maybe like a Christmas tree ceremony,

247
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: And she doesn't know the words to this song, and

248
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: she's got cue cards and they start the music. She's like,

249
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: why the cute gods honey with the backup singers. It's

250
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: honestly the funniest thing I've ever seen. It's I love that.

251
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: There's nothing funnier to me in the world than when

252
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: like musicians don't know the words to their own songs

253
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: and then they just have to like keep pretending like

254
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: they're invested in this music. That changed like, Honey, I

255
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: don't know the words the cue gods, I gotta go

256
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: fast to honey. It's really, honestly one of the funniest

257
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: things I've ever seen in my life. I also love

258
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: that because it was probably in an error where there

259
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: was no teleprompter and literally was somebody needing to move

260
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: cards out of the way, because she's just yelling at

261
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: a dude holding cards and trying to frantically throw them

262
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: out of the way with the words to a song

263
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: we all know except for her apparently if it was

264
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: this Christmas now that. Yeah, I don't know if it's

265
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: the one she was thinking, but it's definitely a song.

266
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: It is a song. Sure. So again we're looking at

267
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: the point in which black don't crack sort of is

268
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: becoming most evident when we look at like a Mitch McConnell, right,

269
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: he obviously has cracked. A Patti LaBelle is cracking far

270
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: less and far sort of more gracefully than a Mitch

271
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: McConnell would. Here's where I get curious, what point do

272
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: you think that this becomes a real factor and the

273
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: possibility for offending in the aging process for our paler

274
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: friends as you put it, Wait, what do you mean? Sorry?

275
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean, at what age are we starting to like,

276
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: does this become personal? When I go black don't crack?

277
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: Are they looking at me and going, fuck you man,

278
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm cracking? Honestly, I think pretty early like, oh, you're

279
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: being generous, maybe forty actually know some people went to

280
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: high school with look fucked up. So I'm gonna say

281
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: thirty two. That sounds more right. You know who I

282
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: think about is uh what was that Netflix reality show

283
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: where they couldn't see each other but then they could

284
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: see each other? Oh, love at first sight? No blind love,

285
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: love is blind? I didn't, but I know I know

286
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: about it a little. There's that lady who everybody hated, Jessica,

287
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: who I was certain when they introduced her was a

288
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: solid forty forty nine, I would say, and then they

289
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: revealed that she was like thirty three, and I was devastating.

290
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa is this horrible? You were gorgeous

291
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: forty nine. That happens a lot on reality shows. We're like, wow,

292
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: look at this very old white lady and they're like

293
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: twenty two and you're like, you've had a tough twenty

294
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: two years. Wow, I can't believe you only wanted to

295
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: write what happened to you in these twenty two years

296
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: and make you look like that. But then, at least

297
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: based off of the premise that we've set up, what

298
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: did happen to you in twenty two years? Because on

299
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: average black people live, I would argue harder lives than

300
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: white people tend to. Yeah, we sure do, but maybe

301
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: we live harder lives, but we're not like super angry

302
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: about it all the time like white people are pretty joyful. Sure,

303
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: so maybe it's like we look at hardships and we're

304
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: joyful about it, and then our skin is like producing

305
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, happy seriums. I don't find it, but

306
00:19:52,080 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, speculating love that of

307
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: all the chemicals that that you could have listed off,

308
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: you had. I imagine you watched their face many times

309
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: as you've looked at the chemicals on the back, and

310
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: you've been like, oh that's in there, Oh this is

311
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: in there, And the first thing that popped into your

312
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: head was happy ceral. You said, Yeah, happy serum is

313
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: being admitted from our our pors that allows us to

314
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: look youthful in relation to our white counterparts. Hey, stand

315
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: by it, all right? Well, who am I to argue?

316
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break and we'll be back with

317
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: more Nicole buyer and more, my mama told me, And

318
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: we are back. If you want to reach those kids

319
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: on the streets, then you gotta do a rep, do

320
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: a hip hop beat. So I gave my swimming an

321
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: urban kick. Rhymes are flying, my beach are sick. My

322
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: crew is big and it keeps getting bigger. That's because

323
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ just want God. Yeah, we're back here and more.

324
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: My mom told me more Nicole Buyer, who are still

325
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: talking about that black skin and white doesn't crack and

326
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: if it ever will crack? Do you feel this will

327
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: get us into the research? Is? I think it's a

328
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: good leading question into the research. Do you feel like

329
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: there's anything misleading in the phrase black don't crack? Mm? Yeah,

330
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: she'd probably be black and brown don't crack. Oh, that

331
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: it should be more all encompassing. That's fair. Yeah, I

332
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: think our darker skinned friends all aged slower than our

333
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: alabaster friends. Sure, and that's a fair argument. I've heard

334
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: a few other like uh, catch like Asian don't raise him?

335
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: Have you heard that? No? But that's fun, that's pretty cool.

336
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: I like I've heard that one. I think Kim new

337
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: Money was the person who said that to me once,

338
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, hell, yeah, I can for She's great. Wait,

339
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: let's see Puerto Rican their skin ain't weaken. I want

340
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: to do I want to do Dominican and skin akin,

341
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: But I can't. I can't piece it together. Do you

342
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Not coming together? You will stay Skinnican.

343
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: Now I'll have to I'll have to come back to you.

344
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: One really came to me. Your skin ain't thinn akin. Yes,

345
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: the them skin ain't. Uh yeah, that's a little tougher. Yep.

346
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: We should have just stopped at your Puerto Rican one,

347
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: But I had to keep it going. So I asked

348
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: that question because in my research, one of the things

349
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: that sort of came out of a lot of this

350
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: conversation was this issue of aging, right, And we sort

351
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: of are talking about aging on the physical level, but

352
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: the reality is is that black people tend to die

353
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: much younger than their white counterparts, right that, like, we're

354
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: not actually living in a world where black people aren't cracking.

355
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: They're just not cracking on the outside. They're cracking actually

356
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: a lot faster than literally everyone else. And so I

357
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: looked up the life expectancy for people based on their race,

358
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: and Asians are the ones who are living the longest.

359
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: They are in fact not raisoning and living around eighties

360
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: six years, whereas Latinos go about eight one eighty two.

361
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: Whites are in the middle there at like seventy seventy eight,

362
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: seventy nine. Native Americans are coming around at seventy seven,

363
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: and then black people are stopping at seventy five. Dang. Yeah,

364
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: so we're a well, like, uh, twelve years behind our

365
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Asian counterpart. No, twelve years of slave that's what they're

366
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: wrong about that. Yeah, it's it was heartbreaking, but I

367
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: did find some comfort in realizing that white people don't

368
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: live nearly as long as their lives are set up

369
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: for them to live, you know what I mean? Yes,

370
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: that I mean it is kind of funny that they

371
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of advantages, but they don't live the longest. No,

372
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: you're barely living longer than us, and y'all have every

373
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: advantage in this country. What are you doing wrong that's

374
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: making you? You do that? Leave those hor cruxes alone

375
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: and live your life. Some of our Alabaster friends are

376
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: doing weird. Ship like would that president say? He said

377
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: that president? He was like drink bleach and ship like

378
00:24:54,920 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: that man is wild? What did Herbert Hoover say? Yeah,

379
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: it was the one that none of us like. And

380
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: he's the recent one. Yeah, little pump just endorsed him.

381
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: So he's doing pretty good, little pump, you know, little part. Yeah,

382
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: he said he didn't want to pay an extra thirty

383
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: three percent in taxes, but he didn't want to just

384
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: leave it at like, and that's why I'm voting for

385
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump this year. He made an Instagram video where

386
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: he said, fuck sleepy Joe Biden, suck my dick, nigger,

387
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm not paying another thirty three percent in taxes. And

388
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: it was like, all right, little pump, this seems excessive.

389
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't excessive, and I don't think so he's the

390
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: what you have to pay an extra thirty three percent

391
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: in taxes. I think a lot of people of a

392
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: certain wealth are now worried that Joe Biden has who

393
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: has been pretty open about wanting to tax the wealthy

394
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: differently than Trump has been taxing them, is suddenly going

395
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: to the to the most extreme taxing in all of history,

396
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: when in fact he's probably just gonna like charge them

397
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: a little extra from what they previously were being charged.

398
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: You'll be fine. But that's not how rappers deal with

399
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: their problems. You know. Here's the thing, though, I wish

400
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: people could see a little pump and be like, oh

401
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: good for a little pumping his millions of dollars. I

402
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: don't have millions of dollars, so I would like his

403
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: so taxes. Sure, that's like people's mentalities are right, and

404
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: that's a good point. The instinct should be, Oh, little

405
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: pump got a lot of money. I'm trying to get

406
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: some of that money. I would love for that money

407
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: to go towards infrastructure in schools this year have like

408
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: little pump university state institutions because he got taxed just

409
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Sure, But instead we're like, we

410
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: gotta protect little pumps money. It's so wild. But like

411
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: people who don't make any money are like, yeah, we

412
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: gotta follow a little pump. Mm hmm man. Okay, So

413
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: let's unpack a little bit more of this conspiracy theory. Obviously,

414
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 1: black people do technically crack, right, but there is a

415
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: lot of evidence that we do look good and look

416
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: better than our white counterparts all the way up until

417
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: the day that we die. Scientific evidence, not just stuff

418
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: you read and then go on and spread to strangers

419
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: until someone else refutes it and tells you to say

420
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: something different. So let's start with the beginning. One of

421
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: the things that they say makes black skin age better

422
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: is the amount of collagen and melanin in black skin.

423
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: So obviously melanin is the pigment that we produce for

424
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: our skin that protects us against UV rays. And in

425
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, this person k K B found that

426
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: on average, five percent of ultra violet A rays penetry

427
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: Caucasian skin, while fewer than eight get through black skin,

428
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: which is why, like our photo aging is different, right that,

429
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: Like they're just soaking up all these rays and it's

430
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, wearing down their flesh in a way that

431
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: black skin tends to reflect and not so. So the

432
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: sun is literally melting white people from the outside in.

433
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: That's right, that's wild. They are sun dried tomatoes of

434
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: human beings. And while delicious, that's not exactly a great

435
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: look for you physically. This is incredible. So, like I

436
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: wear sunscreens, so all black people should wear sunscreens, so

437
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: then none of the rays penetrate you and you stay

438
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: young forever. That's right, you want. I think you would

439
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: like as few rays of as possible based off of

440
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: the research that I've seen to be uh sort of

441
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: getting into you. And they said mixed people myself tend

442
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: to fall in the middle, which makes sense. So we

443
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: will age better than our white counterparts, but not nearly

444
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: as good as our darker skin counterparts. So I was,

445
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, this hasn't been a good week for me

446
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: as far as stuff I'm gathering. But you know, yeah,

447
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: but you got a little bit of protection. Your half sure,

448
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 1: half protective. I don't know your racial makeup. I shouldn't

449
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: have said half protective. No, it's exactly right, It's exactly right.

450
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: He nailed it. So then it talks a little bit

451
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: about why Asians don't age the way that white people do,

452
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: and it said that Asian people actually have a different

453
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: kind of melanin called feel melanin, which is why it's similar.

454
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: But it basically is a different I guess like tone

455
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: of it, and they have a lot of this feel

456
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: melanin that basically allows some an age at a slower

457
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: rate than white people as well. Okay, yeah, so there's

458
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: some science here. Now here's where it gets a little

459
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: less exciting is although this is obviously good, there are

460
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: some downsides to black skin. So black skin is more

461
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: prone to discoloration, dark spots, pigmentation, and keyloid scarlet, right,

462
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: which is why you know, a lot of times we

463
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: have these big scars on our bodies and weird places

464
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: from small cuts. My mom had a scar on her

465
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: arm for years that was like from a small like

466
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: razor cut, but it turned into like a giant key

467
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: Lloyd because that, I guess happens a lot more with

468
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: melanated skin. M m m m m. Yeah. Before I

469
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: got my nose right and they were like, do you

470
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: get keloids? And I was like, what do you mean?

471
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: They're like black people get keyloids, so like you might

472
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: have a keelerd on your nose if it doesn't heal right.

473
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, what no, and it was like

474
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: pierced and I was like, I hope it heels well? Right?

475
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: Why did you wait till I sat down and tell me? Yeah?

476
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: It's like this could have been told to me in

477
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: the waiting room. I was filling it all the paperwork,

478
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: all right. I might have not signed my name on

479
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: that that line that you asked me to had I

480
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: known any of that. Wait, Linkston, do you scar poorly?

481
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: That about? Do you do? You guess? I think you're

482
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: doing fine? Yeah? Do you scar poorly? Thank you for asking? Nicole? I? Uh,

483
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: I think so. I tend. I think I tend to

484
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: key Lloyd more than uh the average person. And I

485
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: think I imagine some of that has to do with

486
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: like genetic ship. That like, if my mom gets a

487
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: lot of key Lloyd's, I'm probably gonna get a lot

488
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: of key Lloyd's, and black people just pass that down

489
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: to each other more frequently than white people do, If

490
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: that makes sense. It does. I get like dark spots

491
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: I have, Like I don't like my If I cut myself,

492
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: it won't heal, Like I'll just have a scar for

493
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: the like forever. I have so many scars on me.

494
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: Oh and it's like simple cuts, not like something that

495
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: like should have left any marketing. But sometimes they'll fade away.

496
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: So like I had to cut on my looking for

497
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: it on my hand and it was like on my finger,

498
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: and I have the scar for like a super long time,

499
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: but I think it's like finally faded. I have a

500
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: scar in the middle of my forehead that I don't

501
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: think it's ever going to fucking fade. And then I

502
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: had what happened in the middle of your forehead? I

503
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: fell down first, It's a rather long story. I got

504
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: knocked down by a homeless man in Central Park and

505
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: I was drunk. It's honestly the dumbest story. Okay, here's

506
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: the cliff notes version. I was blacked out drunk. We

507
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: were playing photo scavenger hunt, so we had like a

508
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: whole list of stuff that we had to take photos with.

509
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: And I got off the train because I had to pee,

510
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: and I said I'll be right back. Trains don't let

511
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: you do that. So then I was like, you yelled

512
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: it at the conductor as he's focus that out. I'll

513
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: be right back, and he's like him, were leaving you

514
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: You're trying to pee on the platform. So then I

515
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: went above ground. Also, I didn't have a purse because

516
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: I gave it to my friend and I went to

517
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: Central Park to look for them. And then unhoused friend

518
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: was like, do you want to smoke weed? And I

519
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: was in the early twenties and I said yes please.

520
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: I never turned out And then he was like rolling

521
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: this blunt and there was like sticks in it, and

522
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: I was like that's not wait and I started screaming

523
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: and then he hit me on my jaw and then

524
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: like not super hard, but like to be like shut up,

525
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: and then you should I legal yet, Yeah, this is

526
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: like ten years ago we could be arrested. And I

527
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: was hammered, so I lost my balance and fell without

528
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: putting a single arm out to my fault. Wow, you

529
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: full on did that thing? What are those like those

530
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: topsy things that like you punch them and they like

531
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: fall straight and then bounce back. And that's exactly what

532
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: I did. And I didn't bounce back. I just it

533
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: was a thud. And I laid there and he was like,

534
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: oh no, oh, well, I'm glad I killed a black

535
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: lady because nobody will come looking. Do do do do? Wow?

536
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: That's horrified. Huh. But you know she's still living. She

537
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: hasn't fully cracked. She hasn't fully cracked, but she bears

538
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: the scar of the girl who lived. Yeah it No,

539
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: I can't see it at all. Let's see if you can.

540
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: I can, Okay, I can see a little something. This

541
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: is great for our listeners hearing me hearing me vaguely

542
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: see a scar over a zoom all. You know, they'll

543
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: keep them engaged. You have to remember it's a audio medium. Okay.

544
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: Here's where the research really took me into something that

545
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: I got excited about recently. In a Rutger's New Jersey

546
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: medical study suggested that black people are born with denser

547
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: bones in their face, and these bones also don't break

548
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: down as quickly, especially the bone between the eyes and

549
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: the cheekbones, which is part of the reason that we

550
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: age so much better than our white counterparts. So I'm

551
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: literally I'm big boned. It's I'm I'm big boned. Wipe

552
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: your eyes, Stop crying. What are you crying for? Just

553
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: fat my face, all these beautiful dense bones. Oh, I've

554
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: never been so happy that my bones were heavy. Yeah,

555
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: it's fascinating. They love that we have bigger, denser bones. Yeah,

556
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: it's so. It got me excited at first, and then

557
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: I started to get nervous. And this is where I'll

558
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: take you down where my brain goes always. But I

559
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: got nervous because when you start saying that we have

560
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: a different biological makeup than white people, it starts to

561
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: get into that space where like we're measuring skulls like eugenics.

562
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean that? Like, there was

563
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: an entire science at one point in this country that

564
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: basically went like, their heads are like monkey heads, so

565
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: they should be slaves and the rest of us should

566
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: be out living in the world. And so while I'm

567
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: excited that we don't age the same way, I am

568
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: nervous that, like, who came up with this ship? You

569
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean, what's your okay? I hope the

570
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: person who like had a friend it was like, yes,

571
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: I'll donate my skull to science, and then they're like,

572
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: oh cool, this is really great. And then that's how

573
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: they figured it out, and not that they like dug

574
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: up an old black light and I look at our Yeah,

575
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand how experienced experiments like that happened. Well

576
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're bringing that up because I looked up

577
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: where it came from, and it comes from this dude

578
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: name bores pass Over, right, Yeah, Boris ain't a good start.

579
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: But Boris was doing a study back at Yale in

580
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: like on the bony structure of the aging face, right,

581
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: just general faces. But he was doing it at Yale,

582
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: and so all of the people that were coming to

583
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: his study or sort of being offered as patients for

584
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: his study were white people, Like literally every single one

585
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: of his patients was white. And then he gets transferred.

586
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: He gets a new job over in New Jersey. He's

587
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: working in Newark, and suddenly he is doing the exact

588
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: same study, but half of his patients are now black

589
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: because New Orks are more black, more diverse city. And

590
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: so what he realizes the products that he was receiving,

591
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: the things that he's getting out of this study are

592
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: showing completely different results when he's looking at the black

593
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: people instead of the white people. It's fucked up that

594
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: a lot of experiments and a lot of research is

595
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: done with white as the base, and then they don't

596
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: look at anything else and then are surprised when they

597
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: find different results with different people. It's like, yeah, and

598
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with like mental illness. A lot

599
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: of mental illness is studied only in men and not women.

600
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: So like, we just figured out what a d D

601
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: or a d h D looks like in little girls

602
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: and women. And I was like, that could have helped

603
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: me when I was a child. You know, it was

604
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: just chatty because I was a girl, chatty because I

605
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: couldn't concentrate. That's exactly, and listen, that's how they get you.

606
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right that this is a weird

607
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: both an encouraging thing, right that he discovered Oh shit,

608
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: this entire group of people is different than this group

609
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: of people. I want to study that. I'm encouraged by that.

610
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. But there's something really sad about the idea.

611
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,479
Speaker 1: He had to go to fucking Nork and he would

612
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: have never even thought to look at black people unless

613
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: he was put in circumstances where he was forced to

614
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: look at black people. Right in the same way that

615
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: to your point, you don't discover as a young lady

616
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: that you have a d h D or some sort

617
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: of attention issue because they're not treating you as the subject.

618
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: They're just treating you as like a girl doing girl stuff.

619
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: We don't know that ain't science, She's just a girl. Yeah, yeah,

620
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: fully wild. And then I was like, I think my

621
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: mom is a d D. You know, it's a whole thing.

622
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: It's a whole, fun little mystery to figure out. I

623
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: love that you're just going around the house accused and

624
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 1: everybody look under your chairs. You no, no concentrate, look

625
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: under the chair, stop looking over here. But I think

626
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: one of the larger things that this sort of left

627
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: me with, one of the larger feelings, fears and celebrations

628
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: that it left me with is while it's beautiful, that

629
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: black people in fact do not crack, that our bones

630
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: are our dentser, we got them big bones, as you

631
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: put it. It also made me really sad about how

632
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: many resources are black people being left without because science

633
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: didn't want to do the work all of them. I'm

634
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: sure there's a very nice way to stop hypertension and

635
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: diabetes and black people, it's just not studied in black people,

636
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: so we suffer. Yes, I'm sure there's a very simple

637
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: fix to it, but you know, you have to run tests,

638
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: and you have to It takes a while to figure

639
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: it out, but you know, right, you have to be

640
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: down to do the work for the community that actually

641
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: is suffering, not just do the work for the community

642
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: you're trying to protect. Thanks. Yeah, that was deep. That's it.

643
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: You heard. There's no other reason for us to keep

644
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: talking in this. We're gonna take a break. We'll be

645
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: back with more, Nicole Buyer, more, my mama told me.

646
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: And we are back. Do you ever feel, you know,

647
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 1: not so fresh? No? No, no, Yeah, we're back here

648
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: with more, my mama told me more, Nicole Buyer. You

649
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: only have a genuine reaction, Mama, Do you ever feel

650
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: not so fresh? I would never ask my mother if

651
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: that they don't remember that commercial? No, is that forms? Yeah,

652
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: it was for like a douche product that they were

653
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: selling when they were still trying to convince women to

654
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: vinegar their puss. Of getting that that fragrance sent out,

655
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: it's so wild that some man was like, I'll eat

656
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: her out. I don't know vinegar cleans after you make

657
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: this so like that, I love that. Vinegar was the

658
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: first instinct he could come up with of like, that's

659
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: how much he hated women. Was He was like, I

660
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: need something that I used to clean my house and

661
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: to like flush out like my insides is vinegar. I'm

662
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: not going with like flowers and dainty things. Killed the smell.

663
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to be like an eating like a wet

664
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: piece of plastic, Like I don't want any smell. Better

665
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: be olderless otherwise I can't enjoy it, even though my

666
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: balls smell like God knows what. Yeah, sometimes Pauls are

667
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: really upsetting. Not sometimes almost all the time. There are

668
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: some days where I smell myself and I'm like, God, damn,

669
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm lucky somebody loves me. Oh see that's nice. I

670
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: think that. Yeah, I put it in my vow but

671
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: apparently my wife didn't care for that part. I don't

672
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: like that part, right, lady. It wasn't for you, it

673
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: was for us. Sorry about it. I'm a comedian. Did

674
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: you forget? Did you do funny vows? I did? I

675
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: tried to, at least, I you know, I felt I

676
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: don't know if you feel this way. If I don't

677
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: do something funny in almost everything that I do, I

678
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: feel like I'm being dishonest to myself. Uh, that is

679
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: fully how I feel. For a while, I was like,

680
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: I think it any behind a wall, and I was like, no,

681
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: I genuinely love making people laugh. You know. If I'm

682
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: not doing that, then I'm doing something weird. Yeah, it

683
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: just feels like I'm pretending if I'm not at least

684
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: attempting to be funny. I'm fine with bombing. Like I'll

685
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: try to be funny in something that does not require

686
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: really funny and bomb like a motherfucker, and I do

687
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: it all the time, but I gotta at least try

688
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: otherwise Papa feel sick. All right, let's get into this game.

689
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: I have a fun game for us to play. I

690
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: know you run a wonderful ninety Day Fiance podcast. You

691
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: have a podcast where you unpack all of the happenings

692
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: on ninety Day Fiance. I personally am a massive fan

693
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: of ninety Day Fiance. Didn't know, Okay, do you watch

694
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: the spinoffs as well? I do. Unfortunately, I don't believe

695
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: that you can watch the show and truly call yourself

696
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: a fan without then, you know, finding yourselves in the

697
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: Darcy and State seas of the world. I love Darcy

698
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: and Stacy. I don't think they are sick, and I

699
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: do watch it, and then this, like the last couple episode,

700
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,479
Speaker 1: Stacy has been crying and I was like, Stacy didn't

701
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: even make up her bed, these pillows dope matter. She's

702
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: not wearing a lavish outfit, like what are we doing, Darcy?

703
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: And also their dad is from Cape verdie So I

704
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: call them my black queens, even though it's off the

705
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: coast of Africa. They might be like more Portuguese than anything,

706
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: but like thinking they're black, I've been I'll be honest,

707
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: I've been wondering this whole time what race they are,

708
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 1: and we had landed on Italian, but now that makes

709
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: more sense. So people think they're Italian. But their dad

710
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: is from I believe his people are from cape Verday

711
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: and then their mom I think is white, so they're

712
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: she's like half cape Verdian and a good way to

713
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: be Like it's like Amber Roses cape Verdian. So it's

714
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: like they're like kind of like Amber Rosie. Do you

715
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: watch the family Chantel? I do not. I lived, I

716
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: will say about cape Verdian people though, I lived in

717
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: Boston for multiple years and one of the things that

718
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: you find out is Boston has like one of the

719
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: biggest cape Verdian populations in the US, and they are

720
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: infamous in Boston for being like insane wild people that

721
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: like one of the most dangerous parts of the city

722
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: of Boston completely made up of cape Verdian people, and

723
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: they blame them for every bad thing that happens in

724
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: the city. Yep, So all that crazy that's in Darcy

725
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: and Stacy apparently is just the cape Verdian deep in

726
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: their room. Boy, this brings me joy but also makes

727
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: me sad. Sure, sure, you mean stigmatizing a group of people.

728
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel good in your sky. I don't think

729
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: I like that. I don't think I like stereotyping. Are racism?

730
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: Things are bad? Okay? All right? Let's get into this game.

731
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: We've got a very important game game that I like

732
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: to call and this is a brand new game. It's

733
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: called ninety Day con Spirits say yeah, ninety day Conspiracy.

734
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: The way we're gonna play this game is, I'm going

735
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: to present to you a few of my personal favorite

736
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: people throughout the ninety Day Fiance multiverse, and what I

737
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: would love for you to do is just unpack whether

738
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: or not you think that they would make effective cult leaders.

739
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that they could effectively lead their own cult,

740
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: ideally within the ninety day window that they have to

741
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: come to America and get married? So? Uh? Starting off,

742
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,240
Speaker 1: he gave us a song about her, Let's go with

743
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: with baby Girl Lisa. How are you feeling about Lisa's

744
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: potential to lead a cult? I okay, just the fact

745
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: that Lucien was so dedicated to her, even though his

746
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: friends the Goofball's Light were like, she's discussed everyone in

747
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: his life is like this woman is trash, she is disgusting,

748
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: and they even when they got married, he was like,

749
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: I think you have to wear a brawl with that

750
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: dress and she's like no. So I think she could

751
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: lead a cult, specifically because she has this man entranced

752
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: by her, and she literally looks like a wet cigarette.

753
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: Like she's just she, I would argue, as one of

754
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: the most gruesome figures that has ever made their way

755
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: across the ninety fiance screen. And the fact that he

756
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: has found like a contentment in that uh leads me

757
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: to believe that she has to be persuasive in some

758
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: kind of way. I agree with you. I think baby

759
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: girl Lisa would make a pretty good cult leader. Okay,

760
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: let's let's go in a different direction. Muhammad of season two.

761
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: He dated Danielle and she had the three kids, and

762
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: he came and pulled a lot of shenanigids on her.

763
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about his potential? What sex? That's right?

764
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: I do not think mom, it would be an effective

765
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: cult leader. Okay, tell me why. He's just he's not dedicated.

766
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't understand that you need to make sacrifices. On

767
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: their wedding day, they were like, you may now kiss

768
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: the Brian. He said no, I cannot for religious reasons,

769
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: and did not expand onto what the religious reasons were.

770
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: That you have to do some of the dirty ships,

771
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: and the dirty ship is kissing your new wife Danielle,

772
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: that's right. He wouldn't even explain what part of his

773
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: religion was keeping him from doing it. He was just like, not, dog,

774
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: it is that time of the month. I can't do it.

775
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: At the reunion, said she had a stinky pussy on

776
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: national television. That was that was unkind. He wasn't a

777
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: kind man. He also got other women pregnant while he

778
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 1: was married to her and was like traveling to Florida

779
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: to go we and he lost weight and got like

780
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 1: a cool haircut and just down. She said, I'm gonna

781
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: send you back to where you came from. Mohammed I

782
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: would be a part of Daniel's cult. I could listen

783
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: to her all day. I love Oh god, I couldn't

784
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 1: for a second. I feel I never wanted to get

785
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: some kids out of a house more than when she

786
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: was like, the lights got turned off. This is not

787
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: a way to live. She's like, I love you, mom,

788
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: but right she wasn't even a good listener. He's like,

789
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: we got to get the lights back on, and she's like,

790
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: mommed I love you. It's not good. It's a bad

791
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: set up. But okay. So Mohammed would not make a

792
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: good cult leader. So here's my wife's favorite. She loves

793
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: an Fisa. How are you feeling about an Fisa being

794
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: a potential cult lead? I think she could be a

795
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: cult leader because she's ter terrifying. See the way this

796
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: woman screams is intense. And George was just like, here's

797
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: your makeup bag, and she like, yeah, she would scream

798
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: you into the cult. Yes, I think that she would

799
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: make an effective cult leader. It would have to be

800
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: some version of a sex cult. But that a sex

801
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: cult that doesn't allow you to have sex with them.

802
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: Uh Like it's a it's a weird setup. But I

803
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: do think that she has all the potential to at

804
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: least break the brain of another human being. I agree. Okay,

805
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: here's one that I think would be interesting. Let's talk

806
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: Tom Tom Darcy infamy. So something in me is like, yes,

807
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 1: Tom would be a good cult leader because he's strung

808
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: with Darcy along and you know, would do things where

809
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: he was like, I would have proposed to you if

810
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: we had gone on the vacation. I wanted to go on,

811
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: but then I was like, it takes a woman like

812
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: Darcy to be susceptible to that. So then I was

813
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: like no, but then I said yes, because there's lots

814
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: of women like Darcy. I think you're on a cult.

815
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: I think it would only be filled with women. I agree,

816
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: And I think that there's not a big difference between

817
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: Tom and Keith Rnery. Do you know what I mean?

818
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: That like the next um guy, like I'm not I'm

819
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: not into it. Oh you're not into it? Okay? Well,

820
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: the same energy of like you find some broken individuals,

821
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: some people who need this kind of energy, and then

822
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: you just maximize it. Could he lead a big, famous cult?

823
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: Probably not, but he could get about six or seven

824
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: goofballs in the house and have them doing push ups

825
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: that weird talents at night. You know what I mean?

826
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: I believe in Tom in that way. I believe in

827
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: Tom too. Yeah, he'll give everyone a key, but wonder

828
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: what to some weird gold key that clearly doesn't work

829
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: on anyone's home. My favorite thing about that key was

830
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: they stayed in Airbnb. They did even stay at his house,

831
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: so like, what was the key too? And also Darcy

832
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 1: has been disrespected on so many continents. She has and

833
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: if only she could settle into herself enough to go,

834
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: like meet a man at the grocery store but no,

835
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: she keeps going on these weird international dating websites. Well,

836
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: she finally got Georgie. I think Georgie is the one.

837
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: I know you don't mean that, but it's very exciting

838
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: to hear someone say it out loud. I know no

839
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: humans ever meant that, but yeah, I can't wait to

840
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: see what happens with her Georgie. I'm very excited about it.

841
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: I'll hit you with one more and then we'll close

842
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: this bad boy out. Here's my personal favorite person in

843
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: the history of ninety day fiance is Angela. How are

844
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: we feeling about Angela and her potential to lead a cult?

845
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: Angela absolutely colita cult. She's already leading a cult. She's

846
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,479
Speaker 1: got a hundred little black kids living in her house.

847
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't know where they fucking came from, but that's her.

848
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 1: She has a lot of black children. She's got Michael.

849
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: Michael's submissive to her fault. I think those black kids,

850
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: I can't figure out if they're skyless kids or you know,

851
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: one of her other daughters is in jail for murder

852
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: and so and so. Maybe they belonged to the the

853
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: murderer daughter. But TLC does no background checks and they

854
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 1: get the crem dela creme of these insane people. They

855
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: truly just ask would you like to be on the show?

856
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: Person on the street, and then they give them six

857
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: years to figure it out. It's amazing. It's truly the

858
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,479
Speaker 1: best show. And Nicole, this was such a fun time.
