Speaker 1: I can't I don't feel right added anything more than that,

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: because it really would just be the purpose. It wouldn't

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,280

00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,839

00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: responses and you can get different anywill. I feel like

115
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: we we got a lot. We got a lot of those.

116
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 5: It's tons of out there, y'all.

117
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: It's what you want. It's it is a overflow.

118
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: They are tossing them out like women get tossed penises.

119
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: It is a.

120
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: Surplug, plug, a surcharge, a sur bonus plus surplus said earlier,

121
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: couldn't worthing but what it was supposed to be. It's

122
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: more than more than you won't you get it when

123
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: you don't want it. You get it when you ask

124
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: for it. Don't ask for it that theyll.

125
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a buyer's market in the not well thought

126
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: out response area right now. But yeah, let's get into

127
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: these episodes for the for the day. We have had

128
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: four episodes last week. Man, I like to start with

129
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: the comments on our website, moved to the comments on YouTube,

130
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: and then come to the poll thirty four to two

131
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: looking at butts was the first episode feedback episode. We

132
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: know who made that title, Oppia said. Karen said, what

133
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking, checking out isn't checking out using any

134
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: time off of social media or listening to podcasts that

135
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: deal with the current events.

136
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: There are still more than enough I will see.

137
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: Checking out is more like muting getting less of the content.

138
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: When I read my farm read my farmer news, there's

139
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: lots of content about the FDA and what's going on

140
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: under the new administration. I get Rod's view while he

141
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: still thinks white men have no real predators, but I

142
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: also see it from the other side. If a white

143
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: woman kills me, I would be like cool, at least

144
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: I was killed by one of my sisters, not my

145
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: natural predator. Good on you, girl. I still I still

146
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: would be unpleased about the killing part. If I even

147
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: would have feelings in my new state, what would that be?

148
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: What would that be?

149
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: White people snapped because putting s be a man behind it,

150
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: So either way it's involved. Somebody ain't gonna be jealous

151
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: of you and be like, take Apia out.

152
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 1: There are still other bad guys who are killing white

153
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: man like high cholesterol, but I get it. They are

154
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: abstract and not frightening in the movie. Way too small,

155
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: and they don't even have goods. Cool, says uh, and

156
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: then she put a Google link to the not very

157
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: charismatic bad guy this stuff l d L particle for

158
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: bad cholesterol.

159
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: Here's what I would say.

160
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: Think about it, like when you when you list animals

161
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: and apex predators and all this shit. Whenever they say

162
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: something's an apex predator, they never say, like the t

163
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: rex was also preyed upon by other t rexes, although

164
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: more than likely the most likely thing to kill a

165
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 1: fucking t rex is gonna be another to run the

166
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: story's wrecks. But I feel like it goes without saying.

167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: And so that's why I wouldn't give white men the like.

168
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: And you also victims of white man. It's like y'all

169
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: be thinking.

170
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 4: Y'all part of the crew.

171
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: So but I appreciate you coming back with that thought

172
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: Booklyn shoe beat, it says, I like looking cake looking

173
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: at caked up me and dancing in tight leather pants

Speaker 1: showing as hello. I'm liking subscribing and fording the post

175
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: of my BFF so we could thirst together looking at

176
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: buts twenty twenty five.

177
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 3: Yes.

178
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: Five let's go.

179
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 5: Is that the slogan, That's what I'm getting through.

180
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: But twenty five for me just looking at butts and

181
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: boobs and of course and boobs, of course. I mean,

182
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: I think it goes out saying but yeah.

183
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 4: It's just honestly, uh, there's nothing better that there's.

184
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: Honestly, there's not like things are getting better because y'all

185
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: are watching how bad things are, right, you know, Well,

186
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: if somebody's gonna pull a titties out and shake them

187
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: in my face, I'm gonna be like, no thanks, I'd

188
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: rather hear how Trump's destroying democracy. I think I'll get

189
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: around and how Trump's destroying democracy. But in the meantime, titties,

190
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna keep destroying it. So Ronan Raphael says today's

191
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Poe needed multiple options, but as a multi dimensional researcher,

192
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: I settled on looking at buttocks because it doesn't matter

193
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: how an interdimensional being like me is feeling. I always

194
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: salute and say I appreciate you for blessing my timeline. Also,

195
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: it's true about helping not bring out your phone around others.

196
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: I once was with some acquaintances, and the devil made

197
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: one that say we should follow each other. Ig what

198
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: I tried to search the name of the person next

199
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: to me, IG already had an all men or butts

200
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,200

Speaker 4: Germans obligatory scams.

206
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: But that's not what we're talking about, is it, now, Rod,

00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: we're both ikibi connoisseurs ekibi super. I don't know if

Speaker 1: going on with the Kiwi? I guess I don't know?

210
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Kibi is a song?

211
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: What a song by the soor it can't be that

212
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: Brooklyn based instrumental band Afrofunk. Oh so maybe is that

213
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: the kind of music I'll be listening to and I

214
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: just didn't know possibility? Oh wait, No, I'll see a

215
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: Kiwi music video and it's just women shaking ass and

216
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: walking on treadmills. Okay, well, I guess I'm into that

217
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: all right? Or something new every day?

218
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 5: Yes, that's another phrase for it. I didn't even know

219
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 5: that was the thing.

220
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: Shoe Booty says. My TikTok doom scrolling is all about

221
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: animal videos, recipes, places to eat, and funny little things

222
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: interspersed with actual informational content related to politics, A nice

223
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: little buffet of all my interests. I give no glory

224
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: to the dictator for whatever his alleged involvement wasn't given

225
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: it a stay of execution. He could still get fucked.

226
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm checking out. I'm back on tower dough and TikTok

227
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: and focusing on slinging them girls.

228
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: Scout cookies is cozy time.

229
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: I hear you, girl, get cozy even, he says, I'm

230
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: giving up doome scrolling. On social media, I look at

231
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: food content, qute animals, comedy and anime edits my mental

232
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: health care take the constant doom and gloom. And when

233
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: I'm not on social media, I read smut. I guess

234
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: that's my equivalent of looking at but I think it counts.

235
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: But it's just instead of actually visually seeing it, you

236
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,359
Speaker 3: making up images.

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: In your mind, visualizing it. So it's the same reading

238
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: this theater of the mind I think radio is. But

239
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: you gotta get what I'm saying, oh damn, I just realized.

240
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll put up the last episode of

241
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: the week on YouTube. We'll get that to YouTube. I did,

242
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: oh wait, no, I did, oh wait, No, I didn't. Okay,

243
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: you get it. You watch YouTube. I'll figure that y'all

244
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: guys will get it today. Son of a bitch. Seven

245
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: comments on YouTube for this episode, anime Prince says, it

246
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: was nice to hear you both express how you don't

247
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: want to move. A lot of these blue state liberals

248
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: have a haughtiness about them because of the state they

249
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: live in.

250
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: New York is blue.

251
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: But they have a police patrolling the subway like a

252
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: medieval period piece, right, and it's one of the most

253
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: segregated states education wise, more than a lot of red states.

254
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: Their state party has also been shitting in the bed,

255
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: and one was one reason we lost the House in

256
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. If they want to talk about moving,

257
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: maybe some of these red states, maybe some of them

258
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: should move to these red states and help vote people

259
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: out or help empower those voters to get off the couch. Right,

260
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: And not all of them, but most of the people

261
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: up north that move down south are cool, But there

262
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: are some people that they do actually make that move,

263
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of them because the cost of living

264
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: is high, their jobs whatever. But a lot of times,

265
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what, I realize some of them

266
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: don't do that shit. All they want to do is

267
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: make down here up there. And we're like, bitch, won't

268
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: fuck bout no, God there, bodego you want about they

269
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: can go back up. No, No, get a car you're

270
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: gonna have to drive. It's like they take whatever their

271
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: sensibilities are.

272
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 3: Some of them moved down here that they just want

273
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: to make here up there, and you're like, we don't

274
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: want that.

275
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: I like the South, you know, like it is okay.

276
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's more about voting in this

277
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: case than bodega's and stuff. But I mean, to me,

278
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: I think I think all of the move to change something.

279
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: It's just a people quibbling over too hard choices that

280
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: I hopefully no one's taken lightly. And I don't think

281
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: there's a wrong choice to it. And you can feel

282
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: adamantly one way and I can respect it, you know.

283
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: And I also think those things change over time. I

284
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: think if I told somebody something like all the people

285
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: that are like move, just move, if I said something

286
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: bad is happening in the place you live to black people,

287
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: are you moving?

288
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 4: Most of them will say no.

289
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: And the idea that I think is many people do

290
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: not relate when they're talking about this because they're just

291
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: upset and they're looking to solve a problem.

292
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: As fast as possible.

293
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: But the idea that this hasn't happened before, that black

294
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: people don't think like this is the part that I

295
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: think It's interesting because historically black people have moved, and

296
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: everywhere black people move, white people suddenly develop racism. Meaning

297
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: when there's very few black people a lot of places don't,

298
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: it's not really racist.

299
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: There's no there's not enough black people.

300
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: To be racist to or to care about being racist

301
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: too in some of these places, or if they are

302
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: black people, they don't have a voice and they don't

303
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: have any political influence to fight back against racism.

304
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: So you just live there, keep your head down, and

305
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: you'll be okay.

306
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: But it is whenever you see black people show up

307
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: in mass exoduses such as the Great Migration and things

308
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: like this, suddenly red lining becomes a thing. So red

309
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: lining is not really a Southern thing.

310
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 4: Now, it's not this.

311
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist in the South, but it's caked into

312
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: the South, meaning it's not a thing they needed to invent.

313
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: Niggas was already relegated to stand over there, where's over there,

314
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: wherever over there needs to be to be away from

315
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: white folks. But suddenly black people moved to Chicago, redlining

316
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: becomes a thing, right, you know, the you know, these

317
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: boroughs of New York, you know, and and the restrictions

318
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: to this are you know, and this is not some

319
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: old school like the the you know, founding of America

320
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: type of shit I'm talking about. Uh. I remember watching

321
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: documentary where Al where they killed a black kid because

322
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: his friends and him walked through and that'scal your neighborhood

323
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: and Al Sharpton was out there protests and it got

324
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: stabbed with a knife. So we're not talking about some

325
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: ancient times like there are issues wherever. If you would

326
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: like to move, you can move. I don't know that

327
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: that solves your issues. I don't even know that the

328
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: alleviation issues and makes it better. And I think if

329
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: black people move in masks, a lot of it actually

330
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: creates like the issues come with them because the problem

331
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: is not us and it never was anything we were doing.

332
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't the land we were staying at. It's never

333
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: been us agreed. And it's also you know, one of

334
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: the things.

335
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: You know, any idea that anybody can think of right now,

336
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 3: it has already been tried, like like like history.

337
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 5: This is why you need to know your history.

338
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: People.

339
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: History has told you make your own towns.

340
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: We did.

341
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: They burnt them bitches down, you know, being government, we did.

342
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: They voted us out or came and threatened and kicked

343
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: us out, or you know, own your own shit. Yeah,

344
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: they showed up in the town and got anybody that

345
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 3: owned any stores, shot them out in the street and dead.

346
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 3: Anybody else to do anything, you know, have insurance and

347
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: all that stuff. Yeah, we did that. And then when

348
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 3: our shit burnt down because white people burned it down,

349
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: we went and we demanded their money. They wouldn't honor

350
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: our shit, you know, they would they wouldn't give us

351
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 3: our wealth.

352
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: So that's one of these things.

353
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: But to the day, you got to realize it's not us,

354
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 3: it's them, and they're the problem. And at the end

355
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 3: of the day, they don't want us to exist. And

356
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: once you understand that is kind of easier for you

357
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: to operate. You realize that, oh, I just have to

358
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: learn how to exist in the system.

359
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: That does not want my existence to exist. And that

360
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: is very.

361
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 3: Harsh and very cruel to some people and things like that.

362
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: But this is why we fight back. You know what

363
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's like, you don't give up. You go, Okay,

364
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 3: you don't want me to be here, but I'm not.

365
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 3: I refuse to allow you to drum me away from

366
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: something that my ancestors built.

367
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's and it's literally it's individually up to

368
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: people like I like, I'm I never throw shade at

369
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: black people that are like, I'm gonna move because I

370
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: don't like it here. I've never said anything. It's not

371
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: their problem, Like it's not anything they did. I'm not

372
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: gonna call you weak or whatever the fuck like move,

373
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: I get it is. I hope you find something better

374
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: for you. Right that being said, I would never mick

375
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: a black person that stays because they have every fucking

376
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: right that they were promised right. And the only reason

377
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: America has gotten to a place of some limited progress

378
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: has been because black.

379
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: People push it that way.

380
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: And so you know, you can't say anything nice about

381
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: America that isn't because black people made that shit happen.

382
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: You know, all those flowery rits and the Constitution and

383
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: all those white men, the founding fathers that own slaves,

384
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: they mean nothing to me.

385
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 4: They're a bunch of hypocrites.

386
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: The thing that made them mean something is black people

387
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: organizing and making them past those those amendments. America's default

388
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: is Donald Trump. That's what America is if black people

389
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: don't get a voice. And so yeah, I don't you know,

390
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: I respect and I respect the people that feel a

391
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: different way about the you know, about moving, I just

392
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: just leave me out of it. I'm not moving. And look,

393
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: and like I said, I feel like this stuff changes

394
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: that to day. I'm sure something could happen that would

395
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: make me want to move. I just don't know what

396
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: it is yet. But it ain't. Whatever it is, it

397
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: ain't happened yet, Big Tom says Roger, you and krawon

413
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: Hopefully this doesn't give you an echo makes me feel negative.

414
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of on social media just looking

415
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: at butts. Okay, that was relatable to him, He said, Yo,

416
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: this is the most relatable and funny shit to me

417
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: because I too look at butts and tits, and I

418
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: always get a kick out of when I see follow

419
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: up by rod TBGT. Oh yeah listen, oh yeah, I'm

Speaker 1: gonna see him in the mix certified over there. I

421
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: remember one time a friend texted me a screenshot to

422
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: be like, oh, nigga, look at this and this's me

423
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: having liked a butt picture of some woman. And I

424
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: was like, nigga, I'm not embarrassed, I'm free. How did

425
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: you see it? Right? Like, oh no, we both like butts.

426
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: What will the world ever do if they find out?

427
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: Oh no, they know what, they know what I'm about,

428
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: everything crashing down. What you've never heard is me sliding

429
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: into no one's dms. I've never harassed, nobody, never fail,

430
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: nobody feel uncomfortable. Listen, O. People consentually wanted us to

431
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: look at their butts. That's how they make their money somehow.

432
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how the formula works, but if they

433
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: put it out there, i'mna appreciate. I appreciate y'all. That's it.

434
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: It ain't nothing weird or creepy about it. I think

435
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: it's more weird than creepy to be secretly sending me

436
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: screech shots of me looking at butts. That's like us

437
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: in the strip club. You're looking at me looking at

438
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: the strippers. Nigga, look at.

439
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: Strippy and it's almost like, buddy, you're gonna be in trouble.

440
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: Like I'm a grown ass man. Right, it's not a secret. No,

441
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: my wife knows. I look at butts. This is not

442
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: your parents know everybody knows what is not a sea.

443
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm walking around the house pulling up

444
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: the look at this butt like. It's not like that.

445
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I guess I'll look at some butts real.

446
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 5: Because buttons is out there. They want to be looked at.

447
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 4: Right, Let's see.

448
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: Uh. Cynthia says, I'm on the West coast, so I

449
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: have to get votro tickets. If your posters as beautiful

450
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: as your Christmas card while I want one, well, listen,

451
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: you gonna have to be there in person. I don't

452
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: wan to tell you you gotta be a VIP. We

453
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: might have something left over and may we'll do something

454
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: with it. Although every time I say that, it's so

455
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: much fucking work for me, and it sounds like a

456
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: nice thing until I'm like mailing everybody's posters and buying

457
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: those fucking posters, roll up mailing kits and fucking stickers

458
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: and boxes and them just like why did I want

459
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: to do this?

460
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: Because then you probably want to do it again, because

461
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: you say every time it's Karen's the person who never

462
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: has to do it is talking.

463
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,040

Speaker 3: these people, for the first time ever, are going to

475
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: realize the illusion and that they have painted for themselves

476
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,160

Speaker 5: You're not gonna be able to pack your bags and leave.

Speaker 3: there's not going to be anywhere safe for you either, And.

483
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: Eventually, yeah, you'll spending the facts.

484
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: No cap as a kid say no cap.

485
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: The poll was what do you use most of your

486
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: social media time for dum scrolling, looking at butts, learning

487
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: about serious things, politics, comedy, or other careen.

488
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 3: I spend the most I don't know if this was

489
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: an option. I spend the most of my time looking

490
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 3: at anime. Like means I've been really in the anime,

491
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: and they like clip anime memes, so I've been looking

492
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: at those.

493
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 5: I've been looking at cats too.

494
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 4: Are they are they?

495
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: Is it?

496
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: Is it funny anime memes?

497
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 4: Or are they serious?

498
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: Some of them?

499
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 5: Some of them are funny. Some of my are serious.

500
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 3: They just animated me, and I get some of them

501
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 3: because I've seen some of them, so they're funny to me.

502
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 3: You know, I could see somebody looking at that and

503
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: going the fuck is this? That's because you know, if

504
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: you don't watch the anime, you might not get the.

505
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: G I think that would say, Oh, I guess that

506
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: would count as other, Okay, other than twenty three percent

507
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: of people are in the other, which is the second

508
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: highest percentage. You know what the first highest percentage is.

509
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: But looking at butts, these are my people. We found

510
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: each other, everybody we meant to be together. We look

511
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: at butts over here very respectfully Okay, we're not non

512
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: consentually looking at bus We're not walking around showing everybody

513
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: butts on our phones and just look at butts. It's

514
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: our business and we're wrong. Uh So twenty eight percent

515
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: of people look at butts, which is a high percentage,

516
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: then it's other, then it's comedy. Twenty one percent. I

517
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: can see that nineteen percent is doom strolling. So the

518
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: fourth highest percentage, one fifth of our audience still just

519
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: be out here doom scrolling. I think it's an addiction.

520
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: I think people can't help it. I think that people

521
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: I think people do know how it affects them. But

522
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: it's like drinking seawater salt water. You think you're gonna

523
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: get sated, but you're just gonna get more thirsty, and

524
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: it's never gonna make you feel good.

525
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 3: Right. And also it's one of those things where I

526
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 3: do agree to it. I think it's an addiction, and

527
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: I'm not above the addiction. You know, my addiction is

528
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 3: just something else because we're all on there.

529
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: But it's just one of them things.

530
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: You have to acknowledge that it's an issue, and that's

531
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 3: half of the work. And I think some people don't

532
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: want to acknowledge it's an issue because I think, in

533
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: my opinion, some people have used that excuse as a

534
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 3: dependency crutch to satiate their anxiety or whatever it is.

535
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: So instead of being a these things making me anxious,

536
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 3: I need to lower these levels or adjust around these

537
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: things so I'm not on ten all the time.

538
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 5: They use these things.

539
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 3: As pacifiers to justify their means versus actually sitting and

540
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: looking and analyzing why am I doing this like action?

541
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 3: You know, And that's very hard to do, and I

542
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: personally don't always get it right, but I try my

543
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: very very best when I feel some of these really

544
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: strong emotions to ask myself why what triggered it? Like

545
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 3: like and actually get to the root cause of it,

546
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 3: because if you get to the root cause of it,

547
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: you can.

548
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 5: At least acknowledge it.

549
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 3: So when you see the patterns that cause the behavior,

550
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 3: you can do some form of adjusting. And it doesn't

551
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: happen instantly, and this is somebody who's going through this,

552
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 3: but eventually you be like, oh, okay, I see what's happening,

553
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: and you might fall forward, but you might not fall

554
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 3: as hard. And then eventually you get to the point

555
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 3: where you're not as dependent on it as you should be,

556
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: and to be told, sometimes people need outside help and

557
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 3: they don't know how to reach in or look for

558
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: we're outside of the internet.

559
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, nah, I think you're absolutely right. I think yeah,

560
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: that one hundred percent everything said, and then uh, let's

561
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: see I was looking at oh, after doom scrolling, Uh,

562
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: it goes down a lot. So doom scrolling is nineteen percent,

563
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: the next one is learning learning about serious things five percent,

564
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: and then politics is about four percent. So although I

565
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: feel like politics infiltrace everything, yes, the worst one in

566
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: mix into some shit, you don't want it to mix

567
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: into true Like I hate when I'm looking at butts

568
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: and then like one of these ig models post some

569
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: like weird maga shit and I got unfollow them because

570
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,760

00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: was here. I was here for butts. I don't know

572
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: your political opinions, but like you being like yes trump

573
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: back is like, oh, butt's not that big.

00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: You gotta go man.

575
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to tell you.

Speaker 1: Nobody don't jiggle enough unfollow. There's no amount of titties

577
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: I could ever see that'll make me be like, No,

578
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: she's making points.

579
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: Like, don't here, how slow motion you do it? It

580
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,080

585
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: Hot Lead, where we were joined by Brandon Collins of

586
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: of course, medium Popcorn and drunk Black History.

587
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 4: We got quite a few comments.

588
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: Shoe Booty says, we will be up in the drinking

589
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: this year because we're going through a lot of shit.

590
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: Bitch me too, because Brandon said that about drunk Black History.

591
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: Apia says, I was never on my Space because when

592
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: it was popular, I thought this stuff is dumb and

593
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: has no future.

594
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: I met social media in general.

595
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: I followed me for other great predictions, maybe just on

596
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: the street, because social media is obviously over as my

597
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: proper prediction. Sean says, last time I was in the US,

598
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: I needed a razor and some other things. I went

599
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: to Wild Greens or CBS, I don't remember. I got

600
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: some sweets to bring back to Japan, some other stuff.

601
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: I went to grab a raisor it was locked up.

602
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: I put everything back and walked out the store. I

603
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: would rather get things at a store that doesn't do

604
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: stupid shit.

605
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I know that shit.

606
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: Drove down sales because it's just frustrated and also like

607
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: we're not staffed enough at this point to do that.

608
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: There was a time before all the downsizes and then

609
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: before Amazon, when you walked in the best Buy and

610
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: it was literally a person or two in every department

611
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: with expertise that.

612
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: Can help you.

613
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: Yes, and maybe if that was the case and you

614
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: decided to lock some shit behind somewhere, okay, I just

615
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: need to look to my left, look to my right, you.

616
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 5: Would find somebody. In fact, they'll find you.

617
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: I would like to buy this video game Boom, Like

618
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't always a problem, to be honest. I just

619
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: think once you take ten you add in Amazon and

620
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: online shopping, fast forward ten years, strip all the people expertise,

621
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: and now an employee is essentially just a person who

622
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: unlocks things and doesn't know shit. Right now, you come

623
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: to best Buy and you're like, I want to get

624
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: a radio. Maybe two guys in the whole best Buy

625
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: know what to tell you, an expertise? Why right, everybody

626
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: else is looking at shit? You could figure out online

627
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: if you had the time yourself. And so, yeah, they

628
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: just exist as people that unlock things, and there's less

629
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: of them. So now it's like one guy unlocking ten

630
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: different departments of shit.

631
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 3: It.

632
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna walk out. I don't need deodorant. This

633
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: fucking bad. It's not a de oldrant emergency, bitch. I'll

634
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: just go to Target or Walmart or wherever the fuck

635
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: is not locked up, dummy.

636
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 3: And also, the thing is, the shit isn't unified across

637
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: the country because depends on what even the same even

638
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 3: the same change of stores within your city.

639
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 5: Everything that's locked up fucking varies.

640
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 3: It's not like you go in and everybody goes, oh,

641
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: everybody knows this this and this is locked up because

642
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: I know, I go to this store is a toilet paper,

643
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: I go to this stow is the hair product.

644
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 5: I go to this though, is the raiser. Because I've

645
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: realized the.

646
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: Same items are not locked up at all the same location,

647
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: So it's fucking confusing to the consumers.

648
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: I think the black shit is those stuff that's always

649
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: locked up the most. It don't matter where I'm at,

650
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: what side of town. If it's for black people, it's

651
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: locked up for some reason. At least that's what I've noticed.

652
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, you know, maybe I'm

653
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: looking into it too much or whatever, But for personally,

654
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: I'll be looking up there like, huh, the just for

655
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: me is locked up again, right, you'd.

656
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: Be like the the grease in the Jamaican uh or

657
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 3: is locked up, but I can put my hands on

658
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 3: a fucking perk plus bottle.

659
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's why I always noticed. I don't feel like

660
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: it'd be different products everywhere I go. I feel like,

661
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: be the same black ship just over there, just like

662
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: just like they want to keep us in the real

663
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: world incarcerated, right ship, all the black products behind bars

664
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: hound cvs. They don't feel suspicious to you, right, That

665
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: feel a little racist to me, baby.

666
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: And then and then you turn around and tell us,

667
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 3: like we shot y'all know, guys, we been locking it up.

Speaker 1: You be like, damn, let me free, you grease. I

Speaker 5: Dammit, I need.

Speaker 4: This to get the no razor bumps shaving cream.

Speaker 1: me go get Let me go see if I can

686
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: wade through these water hoses and dogs to find an

687
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: employee at CVS that are free to fucking the lotion

688
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: right time? Won't be asked?

689
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 5: Ship from the hose water you just shot on me?

690
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to cocoa butter lotion. I'm sorry, massive,

691
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: can can I have give us free? You know anyway? Uh?

692
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: The only thing I've seen locked up in my local

693
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: stores is baby formula. But when I got into the city,

694
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: I see the most ridiculous things locked up, like two

695
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: paste of personal hygiene needs. If people need to steal

696
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: that stuff, then go ahead and let them have it

697
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: because some people are funky. Why subject the rest of

698
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: us to the stack? It's tax rate off for the company,

699
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: says EV. Well, what I would say to that, EV

700
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: is also that's interesting because they can write off most

701
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: of this theft as shrinkage. So if someone is literally

702
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: stealing toothpaste and like essentials, I'm guessing they need it.

703
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: You know.

704
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's some people that just are assholes.

705
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: And steal, but in general, yeah, in general, I would

706
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: imagine like.

707
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 3: We're doing, like the deodorant and like the basic the

708
00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 3: tooth brush and toothpaste.

709
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: I'm hey, baby, you might need this.

710
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 4: It's not the same as like still in a big

711
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 4: screen TV.

712
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: Right.

713
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 4: Anyway.

714
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: Lastly, this is from person says please don't state my name.

715
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: Hey Rod, I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death,

716
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: but I had to finally wigh in. I've written emails

717
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: before and then deleted because I felt like it was

718
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: too wordy and I did want to get roasted for

719
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: how long they are haha I'm sure you will now

720
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: ha ha.

721
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 4: Anyways, I mean it is long.

722
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna roast you because it will alsuly take

723
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: too much time because you wrote this long ass email.

724
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 4: I know what you're thinking. Didn't he just roast me?

725
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 4: That's why I'm so good.

726
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: Anyways, I'm listening to your most recent feedback show where

727
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Blake lovely situations. So when all

728
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: this started, the whole thing scene weird where you would

729
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: see all types of people. Even now, if you read

730
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: the comments section, you're going to see the exact same

731
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: comments where people will say that they never liked her,

732
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: how rude she is to the press. And I remember thinking,

733
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: I've never heard these type of accusations regarding her before.

734
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: The only things I've ever heard is how beautiful she

735
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: is and how great a fashion sense is. Even when

736
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: people were attacking her for promoting her hair Caroline, they

737
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: were like, oh, this is such a serious movie. How

738
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: dare she She's not taking this subject matter seriously? And

739
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: I thought, once, yes, this is a serious subject matter,

740
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: but she's supposed to be showing up in black in morning,

741
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: and said, like, yes, promote Because for the most part,

742
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: as far as I know, she has semi retired from

743
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: acting to raise her family, so who knows what that

744
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: what her future would hold. I thought it was weird then,

745
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: just seeing so many people really just come out of

746
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: the woolwork hating her. It seemed like I would occasionally

747
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: see others tearing down on Ryan Reynolds and how he

748
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: was never even funny. It was very weird.

749
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 4: Well that's jail comn.

750
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: It was very weird to me. So understanding that he

751
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: hired a PR firm makes sense because, like I said,

752
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: every single one of those comments all had the exact

753
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: same excuse of oh, she's rude to journalists, which I've

754
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: never heard before. But I've never heard anyone care about

755
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: that as to why they hate a celebrity. Made me

756
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: think about the voter bots. The whole thing was really weird,

757
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: so similar to the Amber thing. I definitely do think

758
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: it was a tear down her character in public to

759
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: be on the offense so that if she came out

760
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: about anything then people will already be like, oh, oh,

761
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: isn't she kind of already problematic because you've already had

762
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: the smear campaign regarding her beforehand before she could come

763
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: out with any accusations.

764
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's exactly what happened.

765
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: I really will be interested in this trial, but I'm

766
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: not even on the front, and you know, I don't

767
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: even think there's a reason for people that disagree to

768
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: write in about this.

769
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 4: I don't think I can be.

770
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: Swayed by anything other than some damning evidence in a

771
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: case that we just don't know yet. This to me

772
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: seems like a man who understands how the economics of

773
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: the Internet works, and that ecosystem works, not economics, the

774
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: ecosystem works, and hire the PR firm that understands that,

775
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: and said I would just smear and tar this lady.

776
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: People will accept it because she's a lady. That's it.

777
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: She's a woman. That's enough for most of y'all. And

778
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: whenever something comes out about me, no one will critically

779
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: look at what I'm being accused of, and they'll treat

780
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: it with no creators because I've already told them it's

781
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: an evil woman out here. And what is the proof

782
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: of the evil. It's a bunch of whispers of oh, well,

783
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, like there's a I heard she once did

784
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: an interview. And then when you like, I said, I'm

785
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: not like most people when it comes to this kind

786
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: of shit, because I think the vast majority of people

787
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: don't care. And that's fine. You like, not caring is

788
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: not caring. I get it, most people don't care. But

789
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: then a lot of the not caring is which way

790
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: is the wind blowing on the internet. Sounds like they're

791
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: hating this woman. I'm going to hate this woman, or

792
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to just start saying I hate this woman,

793
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: like even if I really don't. I don't know what happened,

794
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: but I heard we don't like her. That's that, and

795
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: that's and I you know, I'm sure this is annoying

796
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: to some people who know me in real life. Hopefully

797
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: this is why you listen to our podcast. But I

798
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: try not to be like that. I tried to go

799
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: find the shit, just to be like, what am I

800
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be not liking this person who it seemed

801
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: like everyone was okay with yesterday? And so I will

802
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: go do a little board research. I'll read the article,

803
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: I'll find the clip, I'll find it in context. And

804
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: the vast majority of the time, the vast majority of

805
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: the time, honestly, it is something right, Like I say,

806
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: most of the time when people are like that, you

807
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: can find something where you're like, oh, I can see

808
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: how y'all felt that way. But a lot of times

809
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: that something is not what you're being told. So just

810
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: one quick example with Blake Lovely, the thing where people

811
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: were sharing the clips saying she called the cast the

812
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: Vampire Diaries monkeys or something like that. Most people share that,

813
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: and there's an assumption that you're making. One that the

814
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: cast is black too, that it was a racial comment,

815
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: and three that everybody was offended. But there's actually a

816
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: clip of that out there. It was during the press junket.

817
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: Everybody was together. It was a joke, they laughed. It

818
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: was not a racial joke. It was about some other shit.

819
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: I think I've explained on the show before. But the

820
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: point being, people won't do that little bit of research,

821
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: so they just start repeating those lies. And I can't

822
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: really respect people that do that. And it's not because

823
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: I disagree with them saying that. I realize you're a

824
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: very easily tricked and manipulated person. And that's sad because

825
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: some of these people, you know, I see them and

826
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: their friends or they're not friends with their acquaintances and

827
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: people you know through the Internet, and you're like, damn,

828
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: you got sucked in that fast, because I didn't get

829
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: sucked into my I don't know. It seemed like this

830
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: Blake Lively thing is kind of some bullshit. I didn't

831
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: get sucked into that. I saw it when it happened,

832
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: was like, this feels weird, this whole like she's the

833
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: worst person on the earth. Thing feels like it came

834
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. It's white people's business. I'm not really

835
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna look too far into it. She comes out with

836
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: that loss, I'm like, Oh, that's the feeling I had before,

837
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: where it just seemed manipulated and like we've seen this before,

838
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: were amber heard and anytime a black person speaks out

839
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: about anything, you see this shit happen. And I was like, okay, yep,

840
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: that's why I felt familiar. And just like the Johnny

841
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: Depp defenders, there's a cloud of crowd of people, be

842
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: they bots, be they people I don't know, who have

843
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: accepted part and parcel every single thing that Justin Baldoni

844
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: has said, and his lawyers have said, his PR firm

845
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: is said, and none of the things she said. And

846
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: I find that to be an interesting choice because to me,

847
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you're the kind of person that's easily manipulated.

848
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: You're you're the fool. You're the person that becomes a

849
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: flying monkey for a narcissist because to me, I feel

850
00:42:53,000 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: like I couldnot I could if somebody, if Bomoni had

851
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: an issue with somebody and they were talking bad about him,

852
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: and Bomani was like, I hired a PR firm to

853
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: destroy this person before they could, I would I would

854
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: look at him different. I would not be able to

855
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: go oh, because obviously you're innocent, but you needed to

856
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: destroy them their credibility. So yeah, I get it. No,

857
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: I'd be like, that's a weird fucking thing to do.

858
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 5: Dude, is not rational on it and it's not logical.

859
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: Like being famous is not like some different shit where

860
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: it's like, no, you have to destroy people with PR first. No,

861
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: it's if the truth on your side didn't just tell

862
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 1: the fucking truth. So anyway, I personally think people got played.

863
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's me. I haven't finished the feedback show,

864
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure if you're gonna discuss which is

865
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: which I don't think you are. But anyway, just want

866
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts regarding this new executive order with

867
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 1: the return to office is causing mass confusion and chaos,

868
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: which I know is the reason reading from others exactly

869
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: the kind of thing what you stated, that the Republican

870
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: playbook of dismantling in a government agency so that is

871
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: ineficient as possible, then point at their inefficiency and say,

872
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: this is why we need to cut costs, because they're inefficient.

873
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand why so many veterans are Republican and

874
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: pro Orange one, especially when he is very publicly anti veteran.

875
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: I know many who are also federal workers who do

876
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: work remotely, who will be substantially affected. I know one

877
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: who is gonna get taken early retirement, which they are

878
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: now apparently offering for those who do not want to

879
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: come back at the office. I wanna take that bullshit.

880
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 3: You take that bullshit, and the second you take it,

881
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 3: they be like you, we ain't paying you shit, and

882
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 3: you be like, I want my job back there.

883
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: But like, bitch, I don't think so. They're not gonna

884
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: pay it on payper. He don't pay bills.

885
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 3: What make you think he's gonna pay He talking about

886
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 3: slashing and cutting. I would not take that bullshit if

887
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 3: I had a federal job. I was like, bitch, you're

888
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 3: gonna have to boot me at the fucking front dough No.

889
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: I also don't believe he's gonna pay.

890
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 5: Him, right, That's what I'm saying.

891
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: You take that shit and then you leave and don't

892
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: get paid, and you ain't gonna get your job back.

893
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 3: You gonna lose all your benefits and everything he promised you.

894
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: They're gonna be like fuck that.

895
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how true it is, so let me

896
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: just start with this. It was a tweet that I saw,

897
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: so this is not factually backed up by anything. Hopefully

898
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: some journalists somewhere is going to find out and factually

899
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: back this up. But someone did tweet that a friend

900
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: hit accept on that offer and was immediately locked out

901
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: of their computer, and I was like, oh, man, I

902
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: hope it's fake because it's too funny, yes, but also

903
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: too sad, but also not beyond belief that Trump would

904
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: do that. So I don't know what to tell you guys,

905
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: but yeah, I wouldn't accept nobouy out.

906
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to fire me and then give me

907
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 4: my money.

908
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: The point is to make things that come from as possible,

909
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: get as many people to quit, while also implementing a

910
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: hiring freeze and cause it to this man or not

911
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: sure if you heard what he's doing with the RS

912
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: which seemed very personal, which I remember his whole tax tobacco.

913
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: But to take your personal agreements and this man a

914
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: whole agency the Republican public things, Yes, clean house, wasteful government,

915
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: while praising him who was literally working with his friends

916
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: to privatize government so his fellow businessmen could get the

917
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: contracts a charge double. They want to get rid of

918
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: regulation so they can siphon off as much money as possible,

919
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: all while with the blessing of people who will inevitably

920
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: have to pay for this.

921
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 4: It's like watching a horror movie, and it's insane.

922
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: The amount of unprofessionalism and even grammatically and correct with

923
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: spelling order or errors we have received as official goddess

924
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: is insane, to the point there are whole meetings wondering

925
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: if the emails are spam. The whole thing is complete chaos,

926
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: and it's only been a week. I am not looking

927
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: forward to the day by day, week by week amount

928
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: of chaos we have to look forward to. I mean,

929
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: you're right, we did not talk about that on the show,

930
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: but I think you said it all. And I'm not

931
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: your doctor, so I can't tell you what to do,

932
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: but I would prescribe ten minutes of looking at butts

933
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: to you, Okay, it sounds like you need to look

934
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: at some butts. It just you can't. There's nothing you

935
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: can do. Woo sah, it's none you can do. Don't

936
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 1: accept no, no quitting your job. Thing. Why veterans want

937
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: to be Republican, I'm gonna tell you why. I think

938
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: a lot of veterans and a lot of soldiers and

939
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: military people end up being Republicans. Gun culture, I think

940
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 1: a lot of it is that simple. I'm not saying

941
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: all of it is that symbol, but I think once

942
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: you are in proximity to guns and guns are part

943
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: of your life, is much. It's a funnel into It's

944
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: a funnel into conservative politics.

945
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 4: Like who are the people that are cool with guns?

946
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: Who think it's cool to be good with a gun?

947
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, military people have to go out and do

948
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: possibly kill people and shit like that ain't a liberal

949
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: hot like nice fleshy hippie thing like. And I think

950
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: also white people, white male presidents have sort of cornered

951
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: the market on this, like macheese, fake machismo shit. Donald

952
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: Trump looks like he's never touched the gun in his life. Okay,

953
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump looks like a pussy. He not nobody's like

954
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,919
Speaker 1: tough guy, right, But he's able to play the part

955
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: of the tough guy in a way that a Democrat

956
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: never can. Because even with a guy like Barack Obama

957
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: looking like he's much better shaped physically and all this

958
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: stuff than Donald Trump. If you put the archetype of

959
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: what a man should look like, Barack Obama's closer to

960
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: like the ideal man than Donald Trump.

961
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 5: Right.

962
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: The thing is Barack Obama's He's gotta be understandable. He

963
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 1: has to be nuanced and reason. He's not just gonna

964
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: get up here and play the red meat to like

965
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: men crowd. He's not gonna get up there and be like, yeah,

966
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: guns right, and maybe you shoot up somebody, maybe you

967
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: fuck up this, and our veterans should go, do you know,

968
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: our warriors should go to countries and kill them and

969
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna take back this Like he don't feed them

970
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: that way, and a lot of those guys get fed

971
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: from that like Republican bullshit. So I think that's one

972
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: of the biggest things about it. The dirty secret of

973
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: it all is that at the end of the day,

974
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: Democrats still gonna have to grow or support the American

975
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: military because there's literally that's America's number one fucking industry.

976
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: So no president is ever gonna stand up to the

977
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 1: military and be like, actually give me the guns back,

978
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: fucking melt all the tanks down. We are we're chilling

979
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: out on this bullshit. It's never going to happen. So

980
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: the so the veterans kind of get the best of

981
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: both worlds where they get to go and vote for

982
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: the most ignorant shit and if the rest of us

983
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: save them from themselves, then they get a good government

984
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 1: under Democrats, and if not, then they just get even

985
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: uh you know, they just get that military budget and

986
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: the shit they already got. Anyway, that's my thoughts. Let's see,

987
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: we got five comments on YouTube for this episode with Brandon.

988
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: This is a great episode. My podcast feed isn't updating those,

989
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: says Monique, and.

990
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 4: Mo I updated it, so you get to go down.

991
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: That was my fault, Carrie says, love when branding is

992
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: own fun times agreed. Andrews says, your fan you make

993
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: foolish for fridays of caring, funny and great. Wish you

994
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 1: wish you so much success. Thank you, Andrew Jane says

995
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 1: the way, I'm at the gym listening to his head

996
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: this episode and literally can't stop laughing through guess the

997
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: race Kendrick voice. Yesterday, somebody fucked up my Wendy's. I

998
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: had to pause myself. Larry's is always yeah. I probably

999
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: could have kept going. Yesterday, somebody fucked up my Wendy's.

1000
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: That kind of shit'll make you want to shoot up

1001
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: a ten piece. Shoot everybody that's in this lobby my

1002
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: blick first, then go to arbists, all right, Jason says.

1003
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 1: Jason says, Yo. When I first saw the YouTube thumbnail,

1004
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: I thought, hey, we're getting a mister Spah episode. He

1005
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: took the glasses off. It must have gotten heated. But

1006
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: despite his and Justin's review of The Great White Height,

1007
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: which I will never ever forgive, I love when Brandon

1008
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: stops by. He's always hilarious and he's been doing the

1009
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: great work. Also, cold fries, particularly for Wendy's, is a

1010
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: form of assault. They do not season their fries well

1011
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: enough to overcome being cold. I think it was a

1012
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 1: learning experience for everyone. A uh, that is true. Though

1013
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: cold fries at Wendy's are low key, some of the

1014
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: worst kind of fries. I think this cold. Yeah, I

1015
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: think cold fries from Burger King is the worst of

1016
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: the worst in my estimation.

1017
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 5: Yes, well fast food, yes.

1018
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: But once again we're talking cold fries, meaning none of

1019
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: them are good. Like, no one likes cold fries. It

1020
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: is not on you. Somebody like cold fries. Don't write

1021
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: in Okay, the three people.

1022
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 3: That love they, I actually wait for my fries to

1023
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 3: get room too, but we don't.

1024
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 1: We don't need y'all. I get it, you're a weird

1025
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: serial killer, and I don't want you showing up at

1026
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: my house all your potatoes cold. I get it. All

1027
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: fries matter. Okay, yes they do apparently, but for the

1028
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: rest of us normal people, all cold fries sucks. So

1029
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: none of these are good choices. Ironically, I say, the

1030
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: ass fries, if you have to have cold fries to me,

1031
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: are actually bo Jangles fries. And it's only because they

1032
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: got that kind of weird like sogginess almost to them.

1033
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: They become a different type of food that dude don't do.

1034
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's good, but if I had that,

1035
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 1: like I can, I can microwave Bojangles fries that feel

1036
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: like kind of close are the same thing as.

1037
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 5: We almost got it? Yes, it ain't the same, but

1038
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 5: we almost death.

1039
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that before. Yes, I don't know.

1040
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 3: And you're gonna get some seasoned ass Bojangles fries too,

1041
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:34,439
Speaker 3: so oh.

1042
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's the season.

1043
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 3: I don't know why though, because I've never got unseasoned

1044
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 3: bow Jingle fries.

1045
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: Maybe because they're just so full of grease. They just

1046
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 1: cooked that. Likego Bojangles got fries you can fold?

1047
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 5: Yes, I can't. You know what, I can't fold them? Bitches?

1048
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 5: You can?

1049
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,919
Speaker 3: And they like why I can't explain that, Like, they're

1050
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 3: not wedges, but they kind of they they they between

1051
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 3: regular fries and wedges, but they.

1052
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm not recommending any of these to anyone, but if

1053
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: I had to pick, they're probably up there as the

1054
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: best of the cold fries. To me, the best of

1055
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: the cold fries. Yeah, I haven't had Checkers in a

1056
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: long time. Uh, Chick fil a cold fries is kind

1057
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: of weird, but maybe maybe I have to think about

1058
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: Chick fil A. I feel like no, but yeah, I

1059
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: don't know. Anyway, let me move on. That's a weird tangent. Oh,

1060
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: actually not that weird to Poe, Have you ever wanted

1061
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: to murder someone over cold fries? Yes? Or no? Mm hmm.

1062
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: Eighty three percent of people agree with Karen no, they

1063
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: never wanted to murder someone over cold fries, which means

1064
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: seventeen percent of our audience has had the thought. And

1065
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm in the seventeen percent.

1066
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna stay mind. How damn you get me

1067
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 5: cold fries?

1068
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm in the seventeen percent. I'm like this, Why I

1069
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: don't have a gun? I could be in one of

1070
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: these articles. Noah, dare you play in my face? The

1071
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: next episode is thirty forty four of the Target Boycott.

1072
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:15,240
Speaker 1: In Quotes eleven comments that this was our probably most

1073
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: watched episode of the week and probably most commented on,

1074
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: especially on YouTube. We got thirty comments on YouTube. I

1075
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: don't even know if I can read. That's something to say.

1076
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: All right, I'll try. Apple says I'm the best in

1077
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: boycott and Target. We don't have Target in Germany, so

1078
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: I promise you I will never stop there, never shop there. Instead,

1079
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 1: we have d M, which is a nice store. That's

1080
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: why Target has no chance here running. Raphael says, there's

1081
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: also TJ Max, the Dutch equivalent.

1082
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 4: Of TJ Max.

1083
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: I would boycott that because they never have my size

1084
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: and the deals at the same time, even though I

1085
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: don't shop at TJ max. Over here on boycotting them

1086
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: too well appy of what you would be doing as

1087
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: a FAUXCT. Yeah, you don't have the ability to boycott,

1088
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: but you can pretend that you're boycotting. Have the ability.

1089
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: Ron and Raphael also oh, I'll be also said companies

1090
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: do us best For companies, they thought doing these initiatives

1091
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: will help them with the image in the end that

1092
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 1: with profit, but they cost.

1093
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 5: Money public relations.

1094
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: Heh.

1095
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 3: They didn't want to actually do anything if in the

1096
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 3: second they was like, DoD that's what makes us look good.

1097
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: Cool, but we ain't trying to know work. Yeah, if

1098
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: the measures don't give a return on investment, they will

1099
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: be gone. It's pretty rare that a company does it

1100
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: out of conviction. LGBT and right wing politics. We have

1101
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: an election next month. Our right wing party AfD is

1102
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: like the Republicans in the US. Elon now openly supports

1103
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: them and does endorsements. Fun fact, the top candidate is

1104
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: a lesbian woman who is married to a woman from

1105
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: Sri Lanka and they have two children. That confuses me

1106
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: completely and I can't fit it in my head. She

1107
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 1: has all the right wing saying, you know, from your country,

1108
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: but also she says family is their children.

1109
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 4: Are some families their children are?

1110
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: You know this arch like third language. But yeah, I don't.

1111
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I think Trump is very similar in

1112
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: that he does not stand up for most of the

1113
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: things that he says in his politics, even the conservative,

1114
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: bigoted things that he says, he doesn't actually meet those

1115
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: standards that we're being honest like. And I know it's

1116
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: not a popular time to say that, because you know

1117
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: he's the worst, but Trump never really seemed to have

1118
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: a problem being around black people like he was. He

1119
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: was around black people and hip hop and ship as

1120
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: long as black people were, uh, a complementary of him.

1121
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 4: Because he's such an egomaniac.

1122
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: People rapped about him and all that he loved being

1123
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: part of that symbolism.

1124
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 4: Not that I don't think he's a racist.

1125
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: I just think that he didn't have a problem being

1126
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: around lgbt Q people or Democrats or trans people. All

1127
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: of these people were people he was cool on his

1128
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: way up. It's just you don't have to live your

1129
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: wraps over there. As long as you're rapping what they

1130
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: want to hear. So to them, it's just like, you know,

1131
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't get It's like the first time you heard

1132
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 1: stay high the time about fifty cent and he's rapping

1133
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: by smoking weed, and then you find out later he

1134
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: never smoked weed. And it's like, at the moment he

1135
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: was rapping though I believed him. True. That is basically

1136
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: what Trump is. He don't like, Oh, I'm against abortion,

1137
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 1: I'm such a Christian. They don't believe it. He don't

1138
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: believe it. When he's rapping. It's fine, that's what they

1139
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: want to hear. Roning Ralphiel said, members of the minority

1140
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: group leading of supporting oppression no longer surprises me. Someone

1141
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: who I have finally cut out from my life got

1142
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: a scholarship to Germany and that's how he left Nigeria,

1143
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: along with email scams that he was into. It should

1144
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: have been a positive story, but he somehow fell in

1145
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: love with AfD while in Stutgart and started sending me videos.

1146
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: First was of a black man complaining in Germany about

1147
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: way too many immigrants from Afghanistan Syria in Germany. I

1148
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: knew that person speaking had an African background and it

1149
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: was an AfD event. I asked former power, after you

1150
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: kick out the Afghan series, they'll let you stay. He

1151
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: has Muslim name. By the way, I boycotted him forever,

1152
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: I says. When I see something like this, I think

1153
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: what was said on the show. How can I care

1154
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: more about you than you? I highly doubt that the

1155
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: AfD Wohilch give out scholarships to African people. They won't.

1156
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: Curby Jones says, I haven't been to Target since the

1157
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: shut down. The long lines and junkest doores took a

1158
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: lot of that shine. That's interesting. That has not been

1159
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: my experience at Target after the shutdown. But it probably

1160
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: depends on where you stay, because maybe it's a black

1161
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: target and they don't do right. I don't know. But

1162
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: over here, if you go to the white Target, it's

1163
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: still pretty pristine up in there, very spacious. But if

1164
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: that's where I can get black brands, I'll be up there.

1165
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: I agree with much of what Rodd said. It's a

1166
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: knee jerk, emotional, unorganized response that won't last longer than

1167
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: the news cycle. It's not national, it's not publicized, and

1168
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: it's about thirteen people on Joy and Reeve's comments section,

1169
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: Please not whin the Montgomery bus boycott was over a year.

1170
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: We'll organized a fail safe ways for us to support

1171
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: each other, and they hit the Montgomery and their pockets.

1172
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: We are already infighting on what the tactic should be

1173
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: and there's no way for us to support our black

1174
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: businesses and make sure that we stay afloat. In addition,

1175
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: Target will not feel a thing, and even if they do,

1176
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they care because it.

1177
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 4: Won't be it will be a short lived hit them.

1178
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: Other folks are happy to come shop at Target because

1179
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: they dump the EYI yeah, that's what's interesting about all

1180
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: of this, And it's definitely because of their numbers, not

1181
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: because I think they're It's not because that I think

1182
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: these white conservatives are super organized. I think a lot

1183
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: of their activism also is happening online. But the thing

1184
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: that I have noticed with the white boycott is just

1185
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: that it's so many people that, even if it's just

1186
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: a small percentage of white people that feel this way,

1187
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: they make a big stink online and whenever they get

1188
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: their way, they will start buying shit, which is something

1189
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: that I haven't seen in any of these online activists

1190
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: boycott calls in years, especially from black people. Yeah, I

1191
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: haven't seen from black people very many. We need to

1192
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: boycott this thing, but then we need to go and

1193
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: take that money in time and put it here. And

1194
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that isn't happening at all, because I

1195
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: know with this latest move people are trying to figure

1196
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: out if they can do a boycott. So that's something

1197
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 1: that's different, and hopefully they can organize that in the works.

1198
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is me like, for example, people

1199
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,919
Speaker 1: didn't say I'm done watching the NFL. Now let's take

1200
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: our Sunday afternoons and we're going to support the WNBA

1201
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,959
Speaker 1: or the NBA or so you know, like they didn't

1202
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: say that, they just want watching the NFL. That's not

1203
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: the same as the boycott. That's just being mad. And

1204
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: these organized white racist people seem to have like a

1205
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: we don't fuck with Harley Davison. Oh they drop d

1206
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: I I'm aa buy Harley Davison, right, And it's sad

1207
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: because I and this is why I say, I don't

1208
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:22,919
Speaker 1: necessarily believe like the boycott itself is righteous because these

1209
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: companies being such capitalistic enterprises flowing whichever way the money goes,

1210
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: that's not really proof anyone was right.

1211
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 4: That's proof that's where.

1212
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: The money was. That's where the money is.

1213
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 4: So I don't trust that any either.

1214
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: But when companies do the right thing, I do try

1215
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: to support the companies that do that, or at least

1216
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: be mindful of it. Like so when Chick fil A says,

1217
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: actually we are done with these anti LGBTQ charities. Dan

1218
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Cathy is no longer running the company and they have

1219
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: been like that for years, I'm like, okay, yeah, I

1220
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: will eat Chick fil A again. I personally am I'm

1221
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: fine with that. Like that's what I wanted you guys

1222
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: to do. You did it. When Papa John said we're

1223
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: getting rid of massive Messa John, I said, okay, all right,

1224
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: that was the right thing. I know. You can't like

1225
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: kill the man. You can't put them in jail. Understand

1226
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: the limitations. Just a corporate structure and enterprise. Also, the

1227
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: motherfucker did found the company, so I assume somewhere he's

1228
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: got shares his profit like I never thought there was.

1229
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: It's like when people say, oh, we're gonna make this

1230
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: racist person sell there in an NBA team. Okay, we

1231
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: made themselves the NBA team for six billion dollars.

1232
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 4: Well, motherfucker, that's.

1233
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: The cost the big Did you want them gone or

1234
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: do you not want them gone? There's no way to

1235
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: have him gone. And he don't make money off the

1236
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: thing he created, right, So unfortunately they gonna don't have

1237
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: to get paid to walk. But now if you want

1238
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: to support the La Clippers, you can do so with

1239
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: a guilt free conscience that you're not supporting this racist

1240
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: in charge. It's just these are two, these are back.

1241
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: These are bad things you have to deal with.

1242
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 3: And life is bad something right, and it has to

1243
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 3: be some form of compromise. You can't not want to

1244
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 3: You can't come to the tape with a demand and

1245
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 3: not have some form of a compromise.

1246
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I just think you are compromised. It's it's America.

1247
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: It's right, America. You're compromised by breathing and shit like

1248
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: just living and existing in it. You're not None of

1249
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: us gets to be one hundred clean. It's just the

1250
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: fucking land where on is and even ours? Right, you know?

1251
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: And it wasn't stolen by me, was stolen by another

1252
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: motherfucker that stolen from somebody that stolen from somebody that

1253
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: who's actually was and then fucking renting it to me.

1254
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: So it's not like it's not like I wake up

1255
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: every day and be like, I want to pay my

1256
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: rent because I hate Indigenous people. None of us think

1257
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: like that, right, But yeah, I think it's it's very

1258
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: interesting to see like how the money moves the companies.

1259
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: And maybe it's because I'm gen X, I don't. I've

1260
01:03:56,200 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: never believed the companies, like even when I was a kid,

1261
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Like even like I've all and it's probably fucked up

1262
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,439
Speaker 1: because that's probably where a lot of my comedic sense

1263
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: of humor comes from. But even when I was a

1264
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: kid and they were doing like Calvin McDonald's commercials, I

1265
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: didn't get a sense of black pride. I was like, oh, okay,

1266
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: at least they're catering to blacks. At least they're acknowledging

1267
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: black people exist and they would like to make our money.

1268
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: That was all I got from those McDonald's commercials. I

1269
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: never was like, and how be you Calvin?

1270
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 3: Now?

1271
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Time to go get my degree in fried It's like, no,

1272
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: it's not about that.

1273
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 5: I've never got that feeling.

1274
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 3: And I guess me just being around a lot of

1275
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 3: black people. This thing that your job is supposed to

1276
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 3: be this extra special thing. No, moste what bega got

1277
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 3: a job? They pay my bills, they start paying you know,

1278
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,479
Speaker 3: they don't pay me. I don't come to work type

1279
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 3: of thing like you know. They was like you know,

1280
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 3: it was like a job was like some shit you

1281
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 3: had to do. And also people have talked about this,

1282
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 3: and I do believe this. I think that people used

1283
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 3: to have jobs, and then there used to be a

1284
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 3: lot of shit that people used to do outside of jobs.

1285
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: Be it church, be.

1286
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 3: It book club, be it sewing club, be it bowling club.

1287
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 5: Be it something.

1288
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 3: There used to be other things that you did, these

1289
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 3: third places that people call them.

1290
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: There used to be other things that people.

1291
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 5: Did outside of their job.

1292
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 3: And a lot of people, particularly doing COVID, drop these

1293
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 3: things and they never brought these things back in their lives.

1294
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 3: So now they're looking at their jobs to fill holes.

1295
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 3: They were never meant for a job to feel. It

1296
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 3: was never meant for a job to be your all

1297
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 3: in all. That's not the purpose of a job or

1298
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 3: a company or a corporation whose thing is we're about profits.

1299
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 3: We're about profits that like like we about numbers. You

1300
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 3: either saving us money or making us money. That's how

1301
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 3: most jobs function. No matter what you do, your job

1302
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,479
Speaker 3: is you either got money coming in or you got

1303
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 3: money leaving out.

1304
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Like that's all it is.

1305
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 3: And when you tell people that, it's very shocking and

1306
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 3: so prizing to people when they go, my job, don't

1307
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 3: give a fuck about me, No, bitch, you stop doing

1308
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 3: your job, they will you gonna push your ass at

1309
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 3: the front door. You know, you you stop performing, you

1310
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 3: stop doing whatever the required contract is, you are no

1311
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 3: longer there. And that's the reality of a job. And

1312
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 3: jobs don't want you to think that. Jobs want you

1313
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 3: to believe that they're that they're uh your allD and on.

1314
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: How you fucking work yourself to death.

1315
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 3: And the important ship like your family, the important ship

1316
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 3: like holidays, the important ships like birthdays, baby.

1317
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: Recitals, functions, vacations.

1318
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 3: You won't do that because in your mind, the job

1319
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 3: is the most important thing ever in this in this

1320
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 3: in sixty seconds after you die, your job will be

1321
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 3: placed on indeed, and they will keep it trucking. So

1322
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 3: you know, uh, I think a lot of people have

1323
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 3: bought the lie that they've been told the jobs of families.

1324
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: We're the best.

1325
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 5: No no, no, no no.

1326
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 3: If you have a job that they have great benefits, great,

1327
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 3: you know, if you have a job that they go

1328
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 3: above and beyond their care, that is great. But but

1329
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 3: that is not the function and no, the obligation of

1330
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 3: your job. The contract is I show my ass here,

1331
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 3: I do whatever the requirements are.

1332
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 5: Did I take my ass home?

1333
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 3: Uh?

1334
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I think, But yeah, anyway, I think

1335
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: that's a big part of like how people started looking

1336
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: at corporations like people like the company. The Court wasn't

1337
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 1: the first ones. Supreme Court wasn't the first people to

1338
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: be like companies are people and have like an ideology

1339
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: and a and like human rights and freedom of speech.

1340
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: And I think that happened in our advertising first, and

1341
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people were desirous of it. I think

1342
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to believe these lies. But

1343
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's just our age. But we're as

1344
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 1: clearly as you can hear from these last two three minutes,

1345
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: neither of us were very much fell into that. So

1346
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: and maybe it's just being black, I don't know, but

1347
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 1: it could also be an age thing, because I've heard

1348
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: younger black people that really felt very let down by

1349
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Corporate America Trade not being the family they promised. So

1350
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's more of an age thing than a

1351
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: race thing, but it's definitely something because I don't know

1352
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: anyone my age that believes these companies will uphold the

1353
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: things they say. I'm not saying they don't believe they

1354
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: should uphold the things. I'm just saying most of the

1355
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: people I know understand that if they believe that they're

1356
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna be at work fighting and they're not gonna be

1357
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: very well liked. Everybody I know who's like decided to

1358
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 1: take on this fight at their company is like they

1359
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be up in hr.

1360
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 3: Yes, and they've accepted that, and that's that's part of

1361
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 3: for them. That's a part of the process, and it

1362
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 3: is one thing they do get younger people, you know,

1363
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 3: because where how I feel.

1364
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 5: About jobs now is not how I've always felt about jobs.

1365
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 3: Like it took some adjusting, some time, some learning, some

1366
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 3: getting disappointed, some getting let down, some getting fired by

1367
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 3: no reason of your own. You do, you work your

1368
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 3: hard as you show up every day. You've done everything

1369
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 3: you're supposed to do, and the motherfuckers still look you

1370
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 3: in your eye and say goodbye, And so it takes

1371
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 3: one or two times for that for you to wrap

1372
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 3: your mind around the reality that this shit ain't isn't important.

1373
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 3: And what's important now the people that's gonna be there

1374
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 3: when that job fucking leads, because your family and your friends,

1375
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 3: your low ones, they're gonna be the one you're gonna

1376
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 3: have to look and into act with when you no

1377
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 3: longer have that job that you held so dearly.

1378
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1379
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: Also, like if I don't have this job, I wouldn't

1380
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: talk to most y'all, so I know we're not really friends. Agreed,

1381
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,600
Speaker 1: this is not my family. Erica says, thank you for

1382
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: your topful commentary about Tabitha Brown and Target. I will

1383
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 1: not be boycotting Target or any other retailer that doesn't

1384
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: align with my belief doing so a result of limited

1385
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,959
Speaker 1: options for good. I'm disappointed by Target stands, but not surprised.

1386
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: Sean says, I'm often amazed at how one party wants

1387
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: people to get jobs based on their race, sex, gender,

1388
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: and religion and sexual orientation. But the Democrats are the

1389
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: ones painted as being against meritocracy. Listen, if you are

1390
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: a mediocressist, white Christian god, you are one that's hired

1391
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: based on your race. Yeah. Yeah, Republicans are anyone that

1392
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: falls for the bullshit, fuck them too, because I mean,

1393
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: just look at these confirmation here and there. They're literally

1394
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 1: just putting fucking white people that are terrible and unqualified

1395
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: up there and going, well, yeah, because they're white, they're

1396
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: qualified because they're white. Yep, that's a qualification there. Yeah,

1397
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: it's sure he's a drunk rapist, but he's also white.

1398
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 1: So what the y'all about it?

1399
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 4: Ronald Rafael says, and Steven a voice.

1400
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: Please, I will try. Why are you always putting me

1401
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: to work? Why can't you just write?

1402
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 5: We need to start trying you a fee?

1403
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Can't you just write normal like everybody else? I gotta do,

1404
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: I gotta do in these times that we find ourselves.

1405
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 1: It's high time the black community stops being torn apart

1406
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: by external extractions and lets us dress the elephant in

1407
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: the room. When are we going to boycott people who

1408
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: disrespect middle name bearers? I asked the community when I

1409
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 1: need an update? Now, thanks for the great breakdown? Is

1410
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: always riding carrying all the best? Don't y all agree?

1411
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: If you don't agree, I boycott you immediately, even he says,

1412
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,759
Speaker 1: I don't think that what I don't think what Tabitha

1413
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 1: said was bad. And honestly, those people who go online

1414
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: to talk about boycotting, in my opinion, don't live their

1415
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: rats most of the time. I think a big chunk

1416
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: of them do it for content and turn around and

1417
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: shop where they claim their boycotten. You know what, though,

1418
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:35,879
Speaker 1: Loki Loki, I really do think that. Yep. Like, especially

1419
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: when someone's like I would never support like Amazon or something,

1420
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, Nigga, we all know that evil. I don't know.

1421
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: It's like saying oxygen is evil, right, are you gonna

1422
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: stop breathing? I don't know. Sometimes the evil is just

1423
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 1: winning because it's everywhere, right, Like all you've done is

1424
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 1: made Joe life inconvenient. But it's not like Amazon looked

1425
01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 1: up and said, guys, earnings are down fourth quarter, Tiffany's account, Fuck,

1426
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 1: where are we gonna get those Britta filter money back?

1427
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 5: You are not that important.

1428
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 3: And I also think a lot of people really think

1429
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 3: that they are actually more important to the bottom line

1430
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 3: of these companies than they actually are. And I really

1431
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 3: hate to say that, Like, like you say, it's like, yes,

1432
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 3: the individuals, but either you're gonna do it or you're

1433
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:23,480
Speaker 3: not gonna do it. And a lot of times these

1434
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 3: mass exodus y'all think are happening, a lot of times

1435
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 3: are not happening.

1436
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 1: Because if they were, we would hear news about it. Well,

1437
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you, I don't know, like

1438
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: the companies are not gonna come out and be like,

1439
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: we lost seventy five percent because this right, But whatever

1440
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: the number is, it's gonna it's not gonna be seventy

1441
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 1: five percent in the first place. It's gonna be point

1442
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 1: oh seventy five percent, agreed, and it could be whatever.

1443
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,520
Speaker 1: The companies manipulate the numbers all the fucking time. It's

1444
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 1: it's just there's no solid way to get through all

1445
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: this shit. It's very complicated. I'm not even talking shit

1446
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: about people or blaming them individually, Like if you don't

1447
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: want to do something, I just think it's I think

1448
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: people should be more honest with themselves and be like

1449
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: I just don't want to have Amazon Prime on my

1450
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 1: tablet or whatever, then don't have it. Right. But the

1451
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 1: idea that like you're gonna affect the company and they're

1452
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,799
Speaker 1: gonna change some stances, it's just it's very unlikely because

1453
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: of how fucked up our society has become, and honestly,

1454
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the people are not doing the work

1455
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:34,560
Speaker 1: of being collective.

1456
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 4: In order to claim.

1457
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: The victory they would like to have, you would have

1458
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: to be collective and not individualistic. As much as we're

1459
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: talking about brand like Tabitha is individualistic, the brand is individualistic.

1460
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 1: Everybody online is an individualistic ass brander by themselves. And

1461
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: it's by the nature of social media. Your account is

1462
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: named for you with your picture on it. More than

1463
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: likely who ever's talking you're a brand too now, and

1464
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: so it's really just us using our brands to take

1465
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: swipes of these bigger brands. But yes, what would really

1466
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 1: need to happen if we wanted these things to affect change.

1467
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: It's some sort of actual mass organizing that includes some accountability,

1468
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: include some community, include some mutual aid. Ain't nobody trying

1469
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 1: to do all that?

1470
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it would include forms of commitment and things

1471
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 3: like that, Like you said, that's what I said, accountability.

1472
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 5: If we're not going to do any of.

1473
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: That, how do I even know that you would and

1474
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: stop the Amazon after you told me you wouldn't. How

1475
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 1: would I even know you don't, right, but I can

1476
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: know if you caught the fucking bus. Yes, if we're

1477
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: in Montgomery and we said, ain't nobody catching the bus,

1478
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 1: We'll give you a ride. If you need a ride,

1479
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: just coordinate with us. And then I see you ass

1480
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: hop on the bus. Oh what the fuck are you doing?

1481
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: But if you say, man down with Target, I ain't

1482
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 1: fucking with Target. Fuck Starbucks. You could go to Starbucks.

1483
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,760
Speaker 1: I'll never know. Never, I will never know if you

1484
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: know the target. And that's why I don't expect these

1485
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: companies even when they take a hit. I don't expect

1486
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: them to like put out the bottom line all the

1487
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: time anyway, But when it's a negligible hit anyway, there's

1488
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: not much to report, So I wouldn't know if this

1489
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,799
Speaker 1: is effective or not. And I've seen too many times

1490
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: both sides take credit for these companies struggling, which I

1491
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 1: don't even know what that means. The NFL struggled with

1492
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: ratings for a year at the Kaepernick and it was

1493
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: racist people saying they were the caused, and it was

1494
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: pro black people saying they were the cause. And honestly,

1495
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 1: I'll never know what the cause was.

1496
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 3: You know, we'll never know and you know. And it's

1497
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 3: also one things where I think that a lot of

1498
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 3: these people that not all of them, but a percentage

1499
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 3: of the people, they it's something in them that they

1500
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 3: want to feel superior.

1501
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: So I think that's why a lot of them do this,

1502
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: some of us that. But that's what happened when you're

1503
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: an individual brand agreed, right, you got to your brand

1504
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: gotta be better than somebody else's brand, yep, as opposed

1505
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: to you know. Like I said, I'm just so glad

1506
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 1: we have this show. I'm so glad that we get

1507
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: to be honest and free. I'm so glad we don't

1508
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: have to perform. I'm so glad that people come here

1509
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 1: for the honesty and us being more thoughtful because I

1510
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: feel like what we're saying is the kind of thing

1511
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: you say on social media and then just motherfuckers are

1512
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 1: in your mentions and talking shit about you. But I

1513
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: think this is also the kind of thing where I

1514
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: can say here, I can say it to you, I

1515
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 1: can say it to someone in real life, and most

1516
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: people are identify because they actually are understanding their living this.

1517
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: They're like, yes, I felt this way before, I've seen

1518
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: this before. You're right, the company's These companies are problematic,

1519
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 1: but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm gonna be able

1520
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: to change everything about my life in order to find

1521
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 1: a not problematic way to live, agreed. And So I

1522
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: just feel like what we're saying is very common sense.

1523
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's like revolutionary or edgy. I just

1524
01:16:56,240 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: think common sense feels edgy these days because people be fronting.

1525
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: We don't have to front on here and be like,

1526
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:07,759
Speaker 1: you'll never see me in a Papa Johnson in the background.

1527
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 3: You see two empty piece of boxes behind me. This

1528
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 3: is Baba john And also is one of these things.

1529
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 3: Everybody is compromised, but everybody but some of people in

1530
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 3: the potend like they're not compromised. Unless you completely go

1531
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 3: off the greed, you're going to be compromised unless you

1532
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 3: and even then, depending on what kind of land you're

1533
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 3: your own, you're still going to be compromised.

1534
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 1: Like like like, let's not go down that rabbit hole.

1535
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: I just yeah, just it's fucked up, Agreed. We all

1536
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 1: just living in a fuck that world trying to figure

1537
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: it out. I think a lot of stuff is just

1538
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,680
Speaker 1: trying not to take advantage of people, not you know,

1539
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: like we know what a good person is versus not

1540
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,759
Speaker 1: a good person, and I think there's a huge difference between.

1541
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: There's there's there's a huge difference to me, but and like,

1542
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: far be it from me, but this is just my opinion.

1543
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: There's a big difference between. To me, somebody that saw

1544
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:59,799
Speaker 1: Chick fil A divested from those those lgbt q uh

1545
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: the things they were doing and and said, Okay, I'll

1546
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: eat Chick fil A again, and a motherfucker that was

1547
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: like when they was out there being like, yeah, we

1548
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 1: over here donating to anti gay charities and they was like, well,

1549
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: I'll be eating only Chick fil A. I'm doing the

1550
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 1: all Chick fil A died this month. To me, there

1551
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: are two different people there. Yes, some people will say

1552
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,799
Speaker 1: they don't see the difference. I personally do see the difference.

1553
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 1: Agree So that that's as far as I'm time.

1554
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 5: And there's nuanced to everything.

1555
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: Plus we live in a capitalist society. I'll just come

1556
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,719
Speaker 1: to problematic. I did notice when I was in Target

1557
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: the other day that so many of the black hair

1558
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: care products are on clearance. So who knows what that means.

1559
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

1560
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Listen, I do need to go in there and

1561
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 1: see if they got that that afro pit cutting board.

1562
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 1: I know I'm a corny person, but I want it.

1563
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 3: I've wanted it since i've seen it. But it's hard

1564
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 3: to get your hands on that, bitch.

1565
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: I know they only made twelve of them because they

1566
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: don't take tap of seriously, I wanted one. If it's

1567
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 1: an't though, for seventy five percent off, then I'm just

1568
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to break the boycott line. I'll see you

1569
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: niggas and self. I'm sorry.

1570

01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 3: excuse me? Could you tap that white woman over there?

1572
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: Right? Y'all right, I'll be ashamed of y'allselves messing up

1573
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,599
Speaker 1: these good white people target I'm just holding uh afro

1574
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:18,840

01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: don't mind if I do, Moti, sir, child, I know

1580
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: it's the problem because child, when Polydene.

1581
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 3: Shit went on saying, I was like oh, polyad shit

1582
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 3: on saying I was breaking the hole the kind of

1583
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 3: picket lines.

1584
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that means they'll stop working with

1585
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: black business, but I'm guessing we won't see his means before.

1586
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the ultimate part.

1587
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: Let's see, Trey says, Hey, Rod and Karen, thanks for

1588
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: doing this episode about Tabitha and Target. I absolutely understand

1589
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: how much of a gut punch these announcements by Target

1590
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: about n the DEI Initiatives is considering how much money

1591
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: we black consummer spending Target. But I would definitely need

1592
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 1: more details about what's going to happen to the black

1593
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: business products Target sales. All the articles about them ending

1594
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 1: everything don't give enough details as far as I'm concerned,

1595
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: and the articles about the situation. Will Target be ending

1596
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: contracts altogether? Will they just stop selling all the products immediately,

1597
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: or will they finish out the contracts and not renew

1598
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 1: or will they continue selling everything and just not promote

1599
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 1: the stuff like they normally do in the store. It's

1600
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:23,759
Speaker 1: just not enough information for me to go out the Tabatha.

1601
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,680
Speaker 1: But I understand people's frustration. I really don't think that

1602
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 1: would help black business owners whose products might still continue

1603
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: to be sold there. Again, not enough specific information being

1604
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 1: told about this. If it turns out there are going

1605
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 1: to not keep up their end of the contracts they

1606
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: signed with these business owners, then yes, boycottaway if you

1607
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 1: need to. I think if that happens, also you'll see

1608
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: the black business owners say something because if you breach

1609
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: the contract, or you break the contract and say we're

1610
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 1: officially just not living up to our side of it,

1611
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: I would imagine, look, I don't know, I'm not in

1612
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: these businesses. I would imagine that they immediately will be

1613
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 1: able to set I'm going elsewhere with my products right,

1614
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 1: whether it's come get it from my store, whether it's

1615
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:09,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to find my stuff in Costco or whatever.

1616
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: Costco would also be. If I was Costco, I think

1617
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 1: I would see an opportunity in the market that now

1618
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: that people are saying like they know we in the

1619
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: DEI game for real, for real, and then these fake

1620
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: ass companies are abandoning ship. I'm looking at a Tabitha Brown,

1621
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking at mail or how you pronounce their hair

1622
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 1: products like, I'm looking at them like what's up? Like

1623
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 1: y'all want to be in our stores because look, we

1624
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: got a new influx of black people that are trying

1625
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 1: to do like this, buy in and buycott, and y'all

1626
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: know we could do bunk. Now we got you covered.

1627
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 1: Y'all want seven afro pit cooking boards, come on. But

1628
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 1: I do appreciate Reverend al doing his buying protest. I

1629
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: guess you could call it cost call it at costco.

1630
01:21:57,960 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

1631
01:21:58,360 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 1: That was that was a really dope thing to do.

1632
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: Thanks a getting rider Cara taking the time speak about

1633
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: the situation. Thank you. Like I said, thirty comments on YouTube,

1634
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: here we go, Here we go, God had something sale

1635
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:14,799
Speaker 1: on it on the tube. Yeah, let's see newest first. Okay,

1636
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 1: there we go. A complex simple man says, I appreciate

1637
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 1: your perspective on this. I spoke on this recently but

1638
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,680
Speaker 1: not knowing about Tabata at the time. It's a No

1639
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:28,440
Speaker 1: one situation for an individual. We need organization before mobilization

1640
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: or we will continue to lurch from offense to offense.

1641
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 1: Uh dark Now I'm just just put winki face some

1642
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: moojis and also said only AA for college entrance was overturned.

1643
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: Affirmative action. White women are still benefiting from affirmative action

1644
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: in the work first for us, they will never out

1645
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 1: turn that over, I guess overturn that. I don't know.

1646
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interested. I don't I would never say

1647
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: never with this affirmative action stuff.

1648
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting because data number one beneficiaries of it,

1649
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 3: and when they stopped getting them CEO CFO.

1650
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 5: A lot of them up with sweet jobs.

1651
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: We'll see Tom Mike Tom Willis says, great podcast, full

1652
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:08,839
Speaker 1: of context and nuance.

1653
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

1654
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: Joe Josne says, by Black February, I don't know if

1655
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: that's the thing that people are doing. Let us know.

1656
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: Mona Lisa says, think, wait, why not black by Black

1657
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:27,719
Speaker 1: all year? Why just famous like this Black History Month?

1658
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 2: Why?

1659
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: Mona Lisa says, thank you Roding care for your nuanced

1660
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I'm personally trying to move more out

1661
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: of a space of grace. Remember that all black folks

1662
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 1: are impossible and impossible situations in this country a lot

1663
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: of the time. Tabitha ultimately is not the source of

1664
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: the problem white nationalism is. I wish the best for

1665
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: all black business owners, brands, and targets because this has

1666
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 1: to hurt on multiple levels. PS is a lifelong member

1667
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: of Glasses Game. Y'all glasses a fire, looking forward to

1668
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: the live.

1669
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 4: Show next month. We're looking forward to And.

1670
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: The thing I would also add to because this happens

1671
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: a lot whenever people talk about black business owners. Whatever

1672
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,759
Speaker 1: your politics are, you start applying them to the black

1673
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: business owner, as if the black business owner.

1674
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 4: Agreed right this.

1675
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: We don't know that Tabitha Brown ever agreed to be

1676
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: a collective activism over individual person. That's a line we

1677
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,479
Speaker 1: made for her, like you need to suffer with the

1678
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: community and give up your bag.

1679
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 4: And I don't know that that's ever been her politics.

1680
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:36,680
Speaker 1: Now you can judge her for not having those politics,

1681
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 1: but I would say that those politics existed before this

1682
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 1: and will exist after that agreed. So, like, you know,

1683
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 1: it's like they do this every year. But someone wrote

1684
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: an article about Kendrick Mark before and at the Super

1685
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: Bowls like his politics get a little more murky as

1686
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: he performed the Super Bowl, and I said, no, they don't, No,

1687
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,640
Speaker 1: they don't. You just had to say the same thing

1688
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: about Beyonce. No, her politics have been pretty fucking clear.

1689
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: There's never been a time where all looked at Beyonce

1690
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 1: and it was like she would never do a Super Bowl.

1691
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 1: You made that line of demarcation, and you decided that

1692
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: that was the thing she shouldn't want to do without

1693
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 1: compromising her other politics. I don't think. I don't think

1694
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:19,000
Speaker 1: those two things aligne I think Kendrick Lamar, being a

1695
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 1: person that sells out arenas and makes that money is

1696
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 1: the same kind of guy that would do the Super Bowl.

1697
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't see any reason he wouldn't, right, I didn't

1698
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,719
Speaker 1: even think it didn't bother me. When Rihanna was back,

1699
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, she was upset over Kaepernick and

1700
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: then and then time went on, Kaepernick got old and

1701
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: she was like, all right, I am a music artist, right,

1702
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 1: it is what it is. But yeah, it's it's so

1703
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: funny when people do that, like, oh, so, I guess

1704
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: she's not living up to her politics. What did she say?

1705
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 1: Show me the quotes, what she said, we need to

1706
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 1: boycott this or that or the other. She didn't say that,

1707
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: you said that. Andre Prince says we get further from

1708
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: the civil rights era and with the rise of social media,

1709
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't believe in solidarity and black people as I

1710
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 1: used to, either from distasteful jokes about ancestors to constant

1711
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: make sure you get that bag narrative. We've largely begun

1712
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 1: to transform into basic Americans outside of Aisle shocked. And

1713
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any other group jump in to organize

1714
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 1: anything against Target. Just a bunch of people saying they

1715
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: don't shop there, that which is hard to do if

1716
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 1: Target's the only storing in your area. And by and finally,

1717
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 1: to be honest, I think we should be more focused

1718
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: on McDonald's the Target, because that one feels far more egregious. Honestly, No,

1719
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 1: that last sentence is fast. I can't believe they gave

1720
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: us Calvin and McDonald's mcnugget's loving and did us like

1721
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: this right? They did us dirty?

1722
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 3: Man?

1723
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: That was a pop. McDonald's hurt. Target don't hurt because

1724
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: I always felt like Target was a kind of white

1725
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: McDonald's was giving us R and B commercials. I always

1726
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 1: felt like the joke about Target was that it was

1727
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: very white, but black people felt bougie shopping and something

1728
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:52,480
Speaker 1: that was like to slightly more upscale than a Walmart.

1729
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 1: And so it was like, it's slightly more upscale, so

1730
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and shop here, And

1731
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, Tarja, I thought it was just

1732
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 1: a joke. And also I didn't feel like it was

1733
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: like the black community. I just felt like it was

1734
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 1: funny to us, but not in a targeting. Never felt

1735
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: like it belonged to me as a black person. That's

1736
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: just my feelings. There are certain establishments that probably are

1737
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: not black owned, that feel like Black people like it's

1738
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 1: our culture. I would say Target was not one to me.

1739
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:30,719
Speaker 1: Pope's I'm pretty sure it's white all but oh man,

1740
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: I move on, Jesus says, I subscribe.

1741
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 5: I subscribe that chickeny Pope passed.

1742
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 1: I subscribe with the concept that bycott, which was introduced

1743
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 1: I was introduced to it on Urban View and what

1744
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton did, because getting folks to boycott feels impossible

1745
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 1: these days, Like y'all said, folks just throw that word

1746
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 1: out there when they're upset, but won't back it up.

1747
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: It's probably a better strategy to just convince people to

1748
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 1: spend their money in black spaces more. I agree, you

1749
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 1: want to steal shop at Target or whatever. Cool, I'm

1750
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: not judging or addressing that. What about just put X

1751
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,799
Speaker 1: YC black business in your rotation. It's a slower method,

1752
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 1: but if you can get folks to start buying one or

1753
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: more items consistently for black businesses, We'll probably get much

1754
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 1: further than having the same boycott argument that happens repeatedly online.

1755
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 1: And too many of our black leaders are in the

1756
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 1: pockets of these establishments, says David, who replied to Jings

1757
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 1: full which I guess I don't know if these black

1758
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: our black leaders in the pocket of big Target, is

1759
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 1: that what we think is having in I actually, you know,

1760
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm taking my thumbs up back from David. I don't

1761
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: think that's what the problem is. Anyway. What I would

1762
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: say is I think the Biko idea is better and

1763
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: more sustainable. And also that is a sacrifice because you

1764
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:52,600
Speaker 1: will probably end up paying more money for black businesses

1765
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: individually than you would by going to a target, which

1766
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:57,760
Speaker 1: is the whole point of them getting in the target.

1767
01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 5: In the first place, to keep the coast down was.

1768
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:01,799
Speaker 4: To help be reached more people.

1769
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 1: But you know, there's several businesses and stuff that I

1770
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 1: buy while I'm like, it's black people, and I just

1771
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: want my money to go to these black people. And

1772
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: if that means it takes two weeks to get my candles,

1773
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 1: if that means the candles called that like, there's never

1774
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: really gonna be a Celle where I'm like, what like

1775
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 1: the sale that I found at uh what was this

1776
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 1: place again, Yankee Candle? If I can't go to yank

1777
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 1: like I go to Yankee Candle, it's seventy five percent

1778
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 1: off and you get you get something free for walking

1779
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 1: in the door. Black place might not be able to

1780
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 1: do that because their bottom line is different and the

1781
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,800
Speaker 1: costs are different. I need to not I need to

1782
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 1: understand that, and and and and and except that it's

1783
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 1: part of my sacrifice to support these businesses. Instead of

1784
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 1: walking in there folding my arms, rolling my eyes and

1785
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: being like, how come everything in here cast so much?

1786
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,560
Speaker 1: That's then complaining about the price that you know, what,

1787
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 1: how come how come y'all? Candles got to be like

1788
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,360
Speaker 1: if you if people can push that to the side

1789
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 1: and understand that that is the sacrifice now, So instead

1790
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: of the sacrifice being I won't shop at Target, fuck y'all,

1791
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 1: the sacrifice becomes like, I will shop here and pay

1792
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 1: extra and Target will not see that money. But I

1793
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 1: need to make a point in this extra money I'm

1794
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: paying this part of that point I respect that I

1795
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 1: do do jenks Will says I like TAB, but I

1796
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 1: think what her comment might be missing is that if

1797
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:26,719
Speaker 1: these companies are saying they're not supporting you or other.

1798
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 4: Diverse brands anymore, even if.

1799
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 1: We stay shopping there, they still might pull your products.

1800
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:34,719
Speaker 1: They pulled them before when under pressure. But I completely

1801
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,240
Speaker 1: understand our point and feel her she made some good points.

1802
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 1: I had a good idea in terms of only buying

1803
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 1: the black stuff from there, but like you said, we're

1804
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,200
Speaker 1: lacking the organization to xeq that has happened in the

1805
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 1: community and not that has to happened in the community

1806
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:46,719
Speaker 1: and not online.

1807
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:48,599
Speaker 4: Too many voices and distractions in that place.

1808
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: I agree. The thing I would add is I don't

1809
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 1: think her argument was like, if you guys buy our products,

1810
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 1: they won't pull them as much as it was if

1811
01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:02,600
Speaker 1: the data supports our products sold. When this deal is

1812
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 1: up and I have to pitch it to Walmart or

1813
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 1: Costco or I have more leverage than them pulling the

1814
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 1: plug on me and then the sales numbers dwindling, they

1815
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 1: will use that as confirmation that black products don't sell

1816
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: as opposed to you guys destroyed the good will of

1817
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: the black community and that's why they didn't sell once again,

1818
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 1: neither of these are good choices. Okay, So I don't

1819
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,920
Speaker 1: know that even if everyone did what she wants them

1820
01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 1: to do, I don't even know that that will put

1821
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,519
Speaker 1: her in a position to truly bargain and get a

1822
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 1: good deal. But it might. It might, and we need

1823
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:45,160
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that it might, because I think too much

1824
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: of this has turned.

1825
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 4: Into very black and white. This is right, this is wrong.

1826
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: But the truth is it probably would put her in

1827
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: a position of Hey, when they pulled my deal or

1828
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,840
Speaker 1: they say they weren't supporting us, I still sold three

1829
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 1: million cutting boards. And so now that I'm talking to

1830
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 1: another distributor, a manufacturer, now that I want to go

1831
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 1: buy my own warehouse, now that I want to go

1832
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: to the bank and get a loan to do my

1833
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: own business, I have some leverage that I would not

1834
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 1: have had before. That could be true. I don't know,

1835
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 1: because I don't do this business. I'm not in these rooms.

1836
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna treat her like she's a bad

1837
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 1: faith actor. I think she's done enough, she's said enough

1838
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 1: for me not to just consider her like the cast

1839
01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:32,719
Speaker 1: her out. Karen got that. John snow fir On says,

1840
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 1: little brothers. I saw him last night too. Shout to

1841
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Lenner Brothers at Leonhard Kenny Cole says, thank you for

1842
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 1: your rational response. We all knew the Black Square posters

1843
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 1: were only participating in the corporate activism and it was

1844
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: a trend for them. Organizations have been phasing out or

1845
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 1: eliminating d I initials for the past two years. Personal

1846
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: observation and word of MOUTHBOUL employees. Yeah, we've covered that

1847
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:57,639
Speaker 1: on the show before. It's actually factual data, like it's

1848
01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 1: backed up. They've been a road in the d out

1849
01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:02,400
Speaker 1: of apartments for a couple of years now. I also think,

1850
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 1: look key, this is a way for companies to get

1851
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:06,640
Speaker 1: out of the business altogether. They never wanted to be in.

1852
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: And blame Trump. Yes, people don't take the time to

1853
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:11,360
Speaker 1: consider that social media is made for the hot take

1854
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,919
Speaker 1: and the initial emotional reaction against the engagement. The online

1855
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 1: boycotts have never amounted to much in the wild, and

1856
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 1: they fade so quickly. The people who aref for realistic

1857
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 1: solutions that have experience with organizing it are often downvoted

1858
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:26,479
Speaker 1: or ignored. I saw people worried about Walmart being their

1859
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 1: only option to asking for suggestions of how they could

1860
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,400
Speaker 1: shop in ways that align with their marals. The reasonable

1861
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 1: solutions were buried in the comments instead of being pinned

1862
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:38,400
Speaker 1: or like by the poster. Missus Me nineteen seventy six says,

1863
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, Karen stops saying agreed and right you are, Rod,

1864
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:49,719
Speaker 1: you are fired good analysis and opinion, ma'am, ma'am. First

1865
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:55,200
Speaker 1: of all, you're gonna have to let Karen cook, okay,

1866
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 1: and you can't get away with complimenting me and think

1867
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:01,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like, oh, well, yeah, fuck my wife agreed.

1868
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 1: High five, ma'am. Uh.

1869
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 4: Secondly, like she's an active listener.

1870
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm a participative listener. Yeah. It's reassuring. It

1871
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 1: helps me cook, it knows it lets me know that

1872
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 1: my points are being received and heard. I also do

1873
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:23,280
Speaker 1: similar things when she's talking. I'm a little less Uh.

1874
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 1: I'm the one that's more likely to stop talking if

1875
01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 1: somebody is interrupting me, because I'm in my brain. I'm

1876
01:34:30,479 --> 01:34:33,400
Speaker 1: trying to make good audio and see if maybe like, oh,

1877
01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 1: are you interrupting me because you want to say something?

1878
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 1: Are you interrupting me just because you agree with me?

1879
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 1: So I can understand that it could be a little awkward,

1880
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:42,880
Speaker 1: But you know what else is awkward? Life talking in

1881
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:45,840
Speaker 1: real life, doing this shit for a living is hard.

1882
01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:48,200
Speaker 1: It's not it's not it's not always smooth, it's not

1883
01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:54,480
Speaker 1: always flawless. But no, I appreciate Karen's energy, uh, and

1884
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 1: and and attention attentiveness.

1885
01:34:57,280 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, I know Karen's not gonna stop saying agreed.

1886
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 1: And write I'm not. And also also, you know, I

1887
01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 1: love to be right. What the fuck? I got a

1888
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 1: whole song that's the best thing in the world, right

1889
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 1: about ship. So if I'm actively talking to somebody's like,

1890
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 1: oh my god, Rod, you are right, I'm like, yes,

1891
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:31,200
Speaker 1: I am right. What was that again? Yeah, it was right.

1892
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 3: And also it's one of those things where, uh, like

1893
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 3: I just said, I'm a very active listener, I am.

1894
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,599
Speaker 3: I am a participating audience member, even though I'm quote

1895
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:44,679
Speaker 3: unquote not an audience.

1896
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 1: But me and Roger in this room were having a

1897
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 1: real conversation.

1898
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 3: I want him to know that I'm aware and I'm there,

1899
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:50,680
Speaker 3: and also i want him to know that I am

1900
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:54,599
Speaker 3: agreeents with him. But also low key, in my personal opinion,

1901
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 3: this is the way of you saying that I don't

1902
01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:59,479
Speaker 3: have no no voice on my own, and I don't

1903
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 3: have any pin is on my own in a low

1904
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 3: key slick way for me, go right right, No, I

1905
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:05,040
Speaker 3: don't always agree with my husband, and I have my

1906
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:07,799
Speaker 3: own views and my own opinions and my own points

1907
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 3: all the time, and a lot of times, for some reason,

1908
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 3: people have a tendency to target women when it comes

1909
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 3: to this, because if Roger was always agreeing with me, would.

1910
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 1: You write up here and tell Roger to quit agreeing

1911
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 1: with me?

1912
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 3: You know? Like I was joked aside, like like like

1913
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 3: would you make this same statement?

1914
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: And I do it. There's all kinds of times that

1915
01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:28,280
Speaker 1: you're going off and I'm like, right, yes, agreed. Fuck

1916
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:31,000
Speaker 1: they talk about and I clicked on their name because

1917
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was missus me it's mister s m

1918
01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:41,000
Speaker 1: e of course, mister. I knew it was a damn man.

1919
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and chia I do.

1920
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 3: I got all tys of opinions and thousands, all tys

1921
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 3: of stuff you know that that I say, And you

1922
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 3: know and in fact, some people probably look at Roger

1923
01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 3: but like shit, she two free and too for how

1924
01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 3: dare you no more goddamn opinion in it don't align

1925
01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 3: with yours?

1926
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 2: Sir?

1927
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 1: First, of all, don't talk about what me and my

1928
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 1: wife do, all right? Uh yeah, don't be right down

1929
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,600
Speaker 1: here with no bullshit, bro uh. Hugh Gordon says d

1930
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:23,640
Speaker 1: I for the companies had was no different than greenwashing,

1931
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:29,599
Speaker 1: just a marketing endeavor, agreed d I. Oh Man. If

1932
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 1: I was a political cartoonist, I think I would draw

1933
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: something to the effect of, like I don't I have

1934
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 1: to figure it out because it's not fully fleshed out.

1935
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:39,280
Speaker 4: But y'all remember how like company.

1936
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 1: You go into a company and it's like recycle or trash,

1937
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:44,719
Speaker 1: but if you open up, if you pick up the lid,

1938
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 1: both of them go into the same bag because they

1939
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 1: really just still throwing everything in the trash. I feel

1940
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:55,719
Speaker 1: like that's like d I furtive action, recycle and trash.

1941
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 5: It's just like, yeah, you all goes in the same band.

1942
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,200
Speaker 1: We don't like and won't plan on doing any of

1943
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: this ship anyway, but if it makes you feel better,

1944
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 1: call it. D I Done a t Oo says I

1945
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 1: didn't know Bevil was I didn't know Bevill was still

1946
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:12,120
Speaker 1: black on. I thought the guy sold the Procton gamble

1947
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: it is still black onwed and it was he did

1948
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,840
Speaker 1: sell it to Procter and Gamble. But once you sell something,

1949
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't make it not black owned. Like they didn't

1950
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:23,680
Speaker 1: take it over. I think it's just under Procter and

1951
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:29,599
Speaker 1: Gamble now. But he's still Tristan what's his name? Uh,

1952
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 1: but yeah, but he still runs it. He does. And

1953
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 1: I had to and I had to google it to

1954
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:38,639
Speaker 1: be sure because I was like, wait a minute, I'm

1955
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: pretty sure that black owned because they used to have

1956
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 1: before they shot out to Bevil, before they went to Target,

1957
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 1: they invested in a lot of black podcasts, and ours

1958
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: is one of them. Tristan Tristan Walker, I believe was

1959
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,360
Speaker 1: the dude that was CEO at the time, Great Company.

1960
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he's CEO anymore, but anyway, I'm just no,

1961
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,400
Speaker 1: they put money in black people's pockets with that, Yes,

1962
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 1: they did, you know. And I think what's also interesting

1963
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:12,720
Speaker 1: about it is I think what's also interested about the

1964
01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:17,439
Speaker 1: Bevil thing is so say, y'all are like, I'm not

1965
01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 1: fucking with bebel because practice Gamble and Target or some shit. Okay, cool,

1966
01:39:21,880 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 1: got it, It's not it's not black owned dollars to

1967
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 1: you anymore. So your face just gonna be razor bumps now,

1968
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 1: you like what you're trying to prove. Like, I'm just

1969
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 1: these raisor bumps are the sign of struggle that I

1970
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:38,759
Speaker 1: am in. I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm not struggling

1971
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 1: that much. I'm gonna be cozy and comfortable here with

1972
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:41,360
Speaker 1: no bumps.

1973
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:45,680
Speaker 3: I've kind of gotten a customed to not scratching my

1974
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 3: neck all the so in this case, the cause is

1975
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:50,680
Speaker 3: gonna have to lose me.

1976
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but uh, I'm gonna need I'm gonna need

1977
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 1: that player.

1978
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:56,280
Speaker 3: If that's the case, I'll just go to bebel dot

1979
01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:57,840
Speaker 3: com and and go through there.

1980
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:00,040
Speaker 1: Well that's what he's saying. It's not black owned and

1981
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: or you know, I'm gonna be honest, if very fair.

1982
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't buying Bemble because it was black owned. I

1983
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 1: was buying it because it works, right, Because it works.

1984
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 5: If the shit works, I don't get fucked who's selling it.

1985
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, there's limits, I'm sure, but it

1986
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 1: works is why I bought it. It's for the record,

1987
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:22,839
Speaker 1: it's like it works on black skin, right, So anyway,

1988
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 1: but from my understanding, at least the last thing I

1989
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 1: looked up, it was still black owned, even with it

1990
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:31,240
Speaker 1: being sold to practicing gamble uh, he says, I too

1991
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 1: was surprised by Target's decision. They have one of the

1992
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 1: biggest black hair care ols. I have never had so

1993
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:38,519
Speaker 1: many choices in the retail store. I was wondering if

1994
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:40,120
Speaker 1: they were gonna find another way to have the Verse

1995
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:42,680
Speaker 1: brands in their stores without calling the di Only time

1996
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:45,599
Speaker 1: will tell, guys, because that is the complicated moment, where

1997
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:51,759
Speaker 1: in it could be companies that are ducking the conservative fight,

1998
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:54,040
Speaker 1: like they don't want to deal with that shit. But

1999
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 1: then they could stay committed to these causes, but just

2000
01:40:56,520 --> 01:41:00,120
Speaker 1: not just not put it on the marquee. And and

2001
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:02,400
Speaker 1: there's a certain level of anger I can see people

2002
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:04,519
Speaker 1: having about that. I'm not telling you have to support that,

2003
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:07,800
Speaker 1: but only time is gonna tell which companies do that

2004
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 1: and which companies are truly abandoning black people.

2005
01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, because in my mind, there is a difference.

2006
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 3: And like I said before, and it's very hard for

2007
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 3: people to understand, sometimes you have to strip names off

2008
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:22,559
Speaker 3: of shit, call it something else, and still do whatever

2009
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 3: your cause is. And people don't want to hear that,

2010
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:26,519
Speaker 3: but that is the truth. In order to get some

2011
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:29,760
Speaker 3: shit done, you can't broadcast everything. You do because the

2012
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:32,840
Speaker 3: moment you let people know that this is a cause

2013
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 3: or a purpose or at least benefit somebody else, you're

2014
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:37,200
Speaker 3: gonna have to deal with the trouble people don't know.

2015
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 3: I just want to do what I do and benefit

2016
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,000
Speaker 3: the people, to do what iut without all the other

2017
01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 3: fucking bullshit that comes.

2018
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 1: Along with it. The second you fucking slap a label

2019
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:48,639
Speaker 1: across it. Yep. Also, I like to thank the person

2020
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:50,759
Speaker 1: that called it, that wrote it in and said Karen

2021
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: need to stop saying agreed and write, because you know what,

2022
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:58,519
Speaker 1: whenever someone writes in is like Rod's face when Karen

2023
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:02,800
Speaker 1: is talking, looks like he wants to murder her. I

2024
01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:06,240
Speaker 1: just have to deal with that shit. Finally Karen gets

2025
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:10,519
Speaker 1: to deal with it. She just being herself. I'm not

2026
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not.

2027
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:13,840
Speaker 5: Sitting like Rod.

2028
01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: Look like he's owned out.

2029
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 5: Does he even care.

2030
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:19,439
Speaker 1: About his wife? Right? So, finally, you know what, maybe

2031
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 1: that person is more now I'm too participative. Maybe that

2032
01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:27,840
Speaker 1: person is more of a feminist than I thought. Equal opportunity.

2033
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 1: They willing to right up here and the women can

2034
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,240
Speaker 1: get something to They willing to write up here and

2035
01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 1: project on a woman. Okay, maybe I was wrong about you,

2036
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: mister sum Me. I doubt I doubt I was wrong,

2037
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 1: But maybe I was wrong. Maybe you just so equal

2038
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: you like you know what really quality is saying that

2039
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: the woman is wrong. Sometimes Rashad says, first of all,

2040
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:52,639
Speaker 1: Karen saying, why are you fighting me? Because for real?

2041
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 1: Why uh? Mike's seventy six says that she said her

2042
01:42:57,479 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 1: hairline and season is on hers, but more of the

2043
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 1: other lines of target specific What is missing from some

2044
01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 1: of the detractors is the understanding of scaling. Your business

2045
01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 1: owners will have very complex considerations involving staffy, marketing, inventory, fulfillment, logistics,

2046
01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 1: lead times of manufacturing, and so many other things to consider.

2047
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:15,560
Speaker 1: You're very nuanced and fair analysis of the situation, and

2048
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: particularly of her southernness and people's perception of her spot

2049
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 1: on And maybe her first response was the best response.

2050
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:24,640
Speaker 1: She recorded a video where she reacted, but no words anyhow.

2051
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 1: I also think if anyone can mobilize people in a positive,

2052
01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:30,719
Speaker 1: progressive direction towards better outcomes for the DEI business owners,

2053
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 1: it might just be her. Thanks again for all that

2054
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 1: you both do. Well, thank you for right now with

2055
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: that very thoughtful, nice comment, And yes, I wish I

2056
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 1: had brought that up at the time. But that's the

2057
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 1: other thing. There's individual brands, which all of us think

2058
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 1: we are on social media. But and this is such

2059
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:54,719
Speaker 1: a great point you brought up, Tabitha's brand isn't just Tabitha,

2060
01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 1: And so while people are saying she only cares about herself,

2061
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:07,800
Speaker 1: she literally might be keeping several people employed by being like, hey, right,

2062
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:11,240
Speaker 1: she got the staff, don't Let's let's find a solution

2063
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 1: that where it's not just like fuck me and my name.

2064
01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 1: Let's find a solution where my company or whatever is

2065
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:22,519
Speaker 1: in business because all these other black people are depending

2066
01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 1: on me and depending on us as black people to

2067
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:29,759
Speaker 1: find a way through this together. Fuck this ain't about

2068
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 1: Target at this point. This about what are we like,

2069
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:35,680
Speaker 1: what is a real solution to this other than just

2070
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 1: fuck Target?

2071
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 5: Right?

2072
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:38,840
Speaker 1: And also.

2073
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:42,280
Speaker 3: This is me and I will never forget this. And

2074
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:44,880
Speaker 3: this is one reason why when it comes to the

2075
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 3: lot of the internet and they're protesting, I don't.

2076
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 1: Believe a lot of them.

2077
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:53,480
Speaker 3: When that little black girl had that show, y'all motherfucker's

2078
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 3: protested she lost the job to show them on the air,

2079
01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 3: and y'all came to here by like, why don't somebody

2080
01:44:58,280 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 3: find her a job?

2081
01:44:59,120 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 1: I was like, bitch, you had did you?

2082
01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 5: What are we talking about here?

2083
01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't remember the specifics of the title of

2084
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:06,880
Speaker 1: the episode or the show, but I do remember what

2085
01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 1: you're talking.

2086
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 3: About, Like, like that really made me angry because y'all

2087
01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 3: didn't look. Y'all didn't do no resear y'all protested and

2088
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 3: made such a fucking stink that this little black girl

2089
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:20,360
Speaker 3: lost her job, her acting job that she had. She

2090
01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:22,960
Speaker 3: had the job, like like we were the hell She

2091
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 3: lost her job because y'all protested, because y'all were righteous. Right,

2092
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 3: So now she is saying I lost my job. I

2093
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:32,080
Speaker 3: need a job, and y'all been like, find her a job?

2094
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 1: Do you really care?

2095
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 3: Not?

2096
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 1: Let's see Cali Bruh says, like you said earlier, the

2097
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: blacks didn't ask for DYI. We blacks have never thought,

2098
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 1: how do we increase the amount of money we spent

2099
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:46,280
Speaker 1: in this country?

2100
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:47,639
Speaker 4: Because they killed George Floyd.

2101
01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 1: I know, I didn't think, what the fuck how they

2102
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 1: don't hear us when we stopped killing black people?

2103
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 4: You know what I didn't.

2104
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't see enough representation in these stores of corporate environments.

2105
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 1: The police kill him close to target's headquarters. This shows

2106
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:02,679
Speaker 1: how ignorant these whites are, especially the out of touch

2107
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 1: C suite people, really are, and it shows that their

2108
01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 1: intentions were more were more to put on a front,

2109
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:10,559
Speaker 1: throw money at it to make it go away. Now,

2110
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the whites don't understand or care about

2111
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,559
Speaker 1: us calling out how they were not serious about affecting

2112
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 1: the future, just playing the political game of appearance, and

2113
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:20,400
Speaker 1: we always had to side one of them for their

2114
01:46:20,439 --> 01:46:23,599
Speaker 1: fakeness and who created the acronym DEI in the wake

2115
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 1: of George Floyd. But cultivating an exclusive environment based on

2116
01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:29,759
Speaker 1: meritocracy was all that we all wanted.

2117
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:31,719
Speaker 4: But white capitalism power is all.

2118
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:37,719
Speaker 1: That they wanted. That's itch word, pd R says Papa

2119
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:40,479
Speaker 1: John's pizza word. I didn't know they made those changes.

2120
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:42,479
Speaker 1: I'm a little like wow, I'm a little wit caring

2121
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: on this. I loved Papa John's pizza, but I stopped

2122
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:48,000
Speaker 1: patronizing it a few years ago because I didn't want

2123
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,160
Speaker 1: to support them. If they cleaned up all their acts,

2124
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:52,600
Speaker 1: I'll check them out again. Well, I'm just happy to

2125
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 1: reunite y'all. Papa John's lovers WHI y'all's pizza again? Because

2126
01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:58,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I hate Papa John's. That's my

2127
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:01,240
Speaker 1: least favorite pizza. I don't want it. I used to

2128
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:03,760
Speaker 1: hate whenever I would pretend to act like I care

2129
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: about cares opinion on pizza and be like, what you

2130
01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:08,120
Speaker 1: want for pizza? And she would be like Papa John's

01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 1: love is, guys. Okay. Love is it when your wife

2135
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 1: is talking, you pretend to make faces at the camera

2136
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:25,320
Speaker 1: so that people won't write in. Love is eating Papa

01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:28,760
Speaker 1: fucking steak ass stale.

2138
01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:31,440
Speaker 5: Sweet ass soweet, don't gas.

01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 1: Sweet garlic juice pizza.

2140
01:47:34,439 --> 01:47:36,760
Speaker 5: Yes, and I am fucking here for it.

2141
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 1: I used to work at Papa John's. I fucking that's

2142
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 1: what love is. Eating that shit knowing you hate it

2143
01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 1: because she love it. That's less. Okay, So don't fucking

01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 5: He do love me because I claim if he asks me.

2146
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 1: And when she stopped eating that ship, I knew it

2147
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:57,280
Speaker 1: was hurting her.

2148
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't hurting me. I was so sad.

2149
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:04,160
Speaker 1: I was living in heaven. I said, ooh, finally, no

2150
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 1: more Papa John's. But I felt bad. I'll be eating

2151
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:10,200
Speaker 1: my delicious pizzas from other places that I thought was good,

2152
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 1: and then I'll be sadly thinking, like I know, caring missus,

2153
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 1: that sugary sweetness of candy pizza. Yes, sir, so sad.

2154
01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm not drenched in garlic butter sauce.

2155
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 3: Yes, bringing more garlic sauce. Just shit, don't make no sense,

2156
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 3: don't care. I don't give a fuck.

2157
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:37,680
Speaker 1: But I felt bad that I was enjoying myself and

2158
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:41,920
Speaker 1: she was over there needlessly toiling away because I was

2159
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:43,520
Speaker 1: thinking of my protest.

2160
01:48:43,280 --> 01:48:46,919
Speaker 4: Thinking she was doing something, and I had to talk.

2161
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:48,880
Speaker 5: Her out of and be like me, had to talk

2162
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:49,400
Speaker 5: me down.

2163
01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:53,280
Speaker 1: Shack is selling pizza now. It's not even committed, Messa John,

2164
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:56,320
Speaker 1: not even near the shit no more. If you want

2165
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: your steak ass pizza, then you can have some geilt free.

2166
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:01,160
Speaker 1: I was so happy.

2167
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:03,960
Speaker 3: I was like, good, I had to order the pizza

2168
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 3: and they can't even tricked me the first time he

2169
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:08,639
Speaker 3: ordered Hitty, tell me it was coming.

2170
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,400
Speaker 4: I just ordered the pizza. Without telling her.

2171
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:12,320
Speaker 5: Yes he did.

2172
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 3: And at first I wasn't even gonna eat the pizza.

2173
01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 3: I was like, nope, I'm not eating none of as bullshit.

2174
01:49:17,920 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 1: Because every time I would ask after the Papa John

2175
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:23,759
Speaker 1: shit happened, I'd be like, what you want pizza?

2176
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 4: Yes, where you want it from?

2177
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:28,400
Speaker 1: And then she would lying act like it wasn't Papa John.

2178
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 1: And I can't live in a house where somebody's lying

2179
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 1: to themselves because in this household we want to be free,

2180
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 1: and you not free. You're not free if you lying

2181
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 1: and saying that Domino's a pizza when you know deep

2182
01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 1: down in your heart is Papa John. It was so

2183
01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 1: I was like, fucking mother nigga because I'm down for

01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:03,640
Speaker 5: Thank you, because.

2188
01:50:03,680 --> 01:50:06,760
Speaker 1: As sad as it wasn't here, then then no one

2189
01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 1: should have to be that chow you bought up pieces.

2190
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,599
Speaker 5: My whole attitude change because piecea is my favorite food.

2191
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:16,200
Speaker 4: Go get your go get your love.

2192
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:16,479
Speaker 3: Man.

2193
01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:17,519
Speaker 4: We all love something.

2194
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:20,160
Speaker 5: We all love something that somebody else don't like.

2195
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:24,080
Speaker 1: David Broder says, thanks for explaining the lack of action

2196
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,680
Speaker 1: on behalf of our black leaders. All you have to

2197
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 1: do is follow the money, David. I didn't say anything

2198
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 1: about the lack of action on the black leaders. David

2199
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 1: listened to another show. That's the second time being like

2200
01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:39,639
Speaker 1: and our black leaders are in the pocket, a big

2201
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 1: hot pocket. That's why they halfway frozen in the middle,

2202
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 1: but they war them on the outside. And I appreciate

2203
01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:49,760
Speaker 1: y'all talking about that shit. Thank you. I didn't talk

2204
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:55,360
Speaker 1: about nothing about black leadership that I remember, you know,

2205
01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,720
Speaker 1: at least not at least not. I think you keep

2206
01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 1: adding to follow the money, and I don't think it's

2207
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,040
Speaker 1: about the money. I don't think our black leaders have

2208
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:05,760
Speaker 1: been compromised because they've bought and paid for I think

2209
01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 1: we're all compromised in what we call leadership on the internet.

2210
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: I just don't find agree that kind of activism is

2211
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:17,759
Speaker 1: not the same as like and I know it's a throwback,

2212
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:19,680
Speaker 1: but it's not the same as even people like that

2213
01:51:19,760 --> 01:51:22,719
Speaker 1: run a church. Back in the day where a church,

2214
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:24,680
Speaker 1: a church could be run by a preacher, and that

2215
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:29,280
Speaker 1: preacher could be conservative and problematic in many areas, but

2216
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:31,479
Speaker 1: you know what that person had to do every Sunday,

2217
01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:36,080
Speaker 1: look the community in the face in person, and that's

2218
01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:38,240
Speaker 1: just something we don't have anymore. People can say a

2219
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:41,280
Speaker 1: whole ass activist and they don't organize anything. They hang

2220
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 1: out with their friends and they do shit they want

2221
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,400
Speaker 1: to do, but like going in front of their community

2222
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:50,400
Speaker 1: with people that don't subscribe to their podcast, people that

2223
01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:53,680
Speaker 1: don't follow them on Twitter, just people that live in

2224
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:55,960
Speaker 1: their community that they're sup that they're like, I want

2225
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:59,040
Speaker 1: to help you. You don't have to do that part anymore.

2226
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 1: And so a lot of times people say I'm organizing

2227
01:52:01,960 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 1: a protest and it's just a website to say boycott

2228
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: target or whatever, and with no accountability and no recourse

2229
01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:14,240
Speaker 1: for people that can't afford to so uh Walt says,

2230
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 1: this is my first time seeing this podcast. When I

2231
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:18,640
Speaker 1: saw the name of it, I immediately suspected that this

2232
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 1: guy was a big time coon because he was using

2233
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:23,160
Speaker 1: false stereo type as a name, sort of like saying

2234
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 1: the black guy who does any watermelon straight coonish behavior

2235
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:29,320
Speaker 1: just to please white folks. His annoying voice even sounds

2236
01:52:29,360 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 1: like he watches what black people do and then he

2237
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 1: reports it to white folks, this guy must be Jason

2238
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:37,320
Speaker 1: Whitlocke's brother. All right, well I would disagree with that,

2239
01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:39,240
Speaker 1: and I'll do you the favor of hiding the channel

2240
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:43,639
Speaker 1: from you. You know, you ain't got to be here,

2241
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:45,920
Speaker 1: right if you couldn't make it past the name and

2242
01:52:45,960 --> 01:52:48,760
Speaker 1: you left that comment despite everything that was said on

2243
01:52:48,840 --> 01:52:50,559
Speaker 1: this show, you could suck my dick.

2244
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:54,559
Speaker 3: And it's a liptus test because if you can't pass that, Okay.

2245
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:57,160
Speaker 1: I also felt that way about the name and wanted

2246
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:01,040
Speaker 1: to change it. But surprise, surprise, ten years later, I'm

2247
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 1: self employed and you are leaving comments on my website

2248
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Thank you for the click. Nia My son

2249

01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:17,639
Speaker 1: nuanced view of this was so helpful. It's Chevy B says,

2253
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:19,080
Speaker 1: that's the reason I'm here too.

01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:35,719
Speaker 1: I've had nothing but great interactions with him, and he's.

2264
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:38,679
Speaker 4: Very He's a very supportive person in the way of like.

2265
01:53:40,400 --> 01:53:42,479
Speaker 1: Kevi on Stage is one of those people that will

2266
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:46,479
Speaker 1: eve retweets in real life. By what I mean by

2267
01:53:46,479 --> 01:53:49,599
Speaker 1: that is, if you guys know anything about the economy

2268
01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:51,480
Speaker 1: of Twitter and the way it works now, the ecosystem

2269
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:55,479
Speaker 1: of Twitter, basically people like things now, they don't share them.

2270
01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 1: So like if you like something, you just click the

2271
01:53:58,240 --> 01:54:00,840
Speaker 1: like button and then you just move on. It's like,

2272
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:04,240
Speaker 1: ooh a thing for me. Kevi on Stage is kind

2273
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:06,919
Speaker 1: of dude that retweets you. You know, I'm a retweeter.

2274
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm a person that if I see somebody say something

2275
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 1: I think it's cool, I share it with the people

2276
01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:13,920
Speaker 1: on my timeline by retweeting it me too. Most people

2277
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 1: don't do that, not anymore, And keV to me is

2278
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:20,840
Speaker 1: a retweeter in real life, meaning if there's a thing

2279
01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:23,599
Speaker 1: you do that he thinks is dope and he can

2280
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 1: find a way to incorporate it into what he does

2281
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:29,760
Speaker 1: and give you access to his audience, his platform, he'll

2282
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:33,240
Speaker 1: fucking do it. And I just respect that because that

2283
01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:35,240
Speaker 1: energy is missing from so many people. There are so

2284
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 1: many selfish people that are just like the precious the

2285
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:45,040
Speaker 1: laughs oh for me only it means it is can

2286
01:54:45,080 --> 01:54:48,000
Speaker 1: have it. And it's just like, bro, share your audience,

2287
01:54:48,040 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 1: share what you so afraid of. They gonna find something

2288
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:52,680
Speaker 1: different or better than you, or they gonna hear something else,

2289
01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:55,480
Speaker 1: and it trickles down towards audience. Is why I'm bringing

2290
01:54:55,480 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 1: this up, because his audience is going, hey, you know

2291
01:54:59,120 --> 01:55:00,919
Speaker 1: who else has some thoughts? So on this the blackout

2292
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:04,000
Speaker 1: tips and they always come over and this fans are

2293
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 1: polite and nice. They're not like that last guy will

2294
01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:07,560
Speaker 1: call me a coon because it's the name of the show.

2295
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 1: I didn't even listen. Miss Lautier says Reverend Al has

2296
01:55:13,880 --> 01:55:18,160
Speaker 1: announced a nationwide boycott. He said the list is forthcoming.

2297
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 1: There's actually six steps to an affect the boycott. As

2298
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:24,440
Speaker 1: part of Montgomery Bus boycott. There's actually strategy involved in boycotting,

2299
01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:27,480
Speaker 1: which is number four of the sixth process. We should

2300
01:55:27,520 --> 01:55:30,600
Speaker 1: all wait forever. Ours in the end instructions because they

2301
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:32,840
Speaker 1: have the experience to be effective. I posted a clip

2302
01:55:32,880 --> 01:55:35,080
Speaker 1: as a short of my channel just so people can

2303
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 1: find it. Misladded, thank you, or maybe it's Miss Latia,

2304
01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:42,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, thanks. Mad Funk Kids says or Mad fun

2305
01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:47,440
Speaker 1: Kids says, also please remember Walmart and Target rush this

2306
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:50,720
Speaker 1: pr stud out causing maximum chaos and confusion. Black communities

2307
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 1: need calm, consistent voice right now, as Trump and CEO

2308
01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:59,400
Speaker 1: Robert bearns Co Robber Barons specialized in chaos making booze

2309
01:55:59,440 --> 01:56:03,520
Speaker 1: back to back. Mad fun Kids also says, choose your lane, plan, strategize,

2310
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 1: do it all. It's not either or, and it's bycott yes,

2311
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:09,960
Speaker 1: by boycott yes, work together and choose your lanes.

2312
01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:13,600
Speaker 4: Make allies in the black community, not fols.

2313
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:16,760
Speaker 1: Hey man, I actually agree with that. I, like I said,

2314
01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not trying to make enemies here. That's

2315
01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:23,040
Speaker 1: why I'm not spending any time. If you listen to

2316
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:25,280
Speaker 1: us carefully, then you'll see we didn't spend any time

2317
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:28,040
Speaker 1: being like and you niggas ain't even gonna do shit, yo,

2318
01:56:28,320 --> 01:56:30,320
Speaker 1: that's why it ain't gonna work like we didn't even

2319
01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't necessarily think these things will work

2320
01:56:33,240 --> 01:56:37,400
Speaker 1: if it's just not organized. But I'm not against people organizing,

2321
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:40,760
Speaker 1: whether I participate or not. I don't see myself as

2322
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 1: like a leader in the space of like I will

2323
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:44,920
Speaker 1: be the one to do it, like maybe the work,

2324
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:48,160
Speaker 1: maybe it won't. But you know, I just think people

2325
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:50,240
Speaker 1: have to go with their gut and their hearts, and

2326
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways to be right in this.

2327
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't find it to be wrong. I get that

2328
01:56:55,160 --> 01:57:00,280
Speaker 1: everyone's dealing with something that sucks. Jason says, yeah, I

2329
01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:02,520
Speaker 1: have zero smoke for Tabtha because honestly, right now, I

2330
01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:05,720
Speaker 1: have zero smoke for Target. Strategically, I understand the company

2331
01:57:05,720 --> 01:57:08,240
Speaker 1: deciding this isn't the fight to have. If putting out

2332
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 1: a little statement and saying what DYI gets Orange Julius

2333
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:12,160
Speaker 1: off your back.

2334
01:57:12,200 --> 01:57:12,480
Speaker 2: Cool.

2335
01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:15,200
Speaker 1: If we look back in a year and Target fired

2336
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 1: all their black employees and managers, then I'll take issue.

2337
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:20,120
Speaker 1: All Trump wants is to be able to say he

2338
01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:22,960
Speaker 1: ended di and that's all his followers need to hear.

2339
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:26,080
Speaker 1: It would be difficult for a competent administration to enforce

2340
01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:29,280
Speaker 1: this order, much less a Trump administration, And the most

2341
01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 1: disappointing part was how Trump issues an order and it's

2342
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:34,280
Speaker 1: seventy two hours. Tabitha Brown is the face of the

2343
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 1: Antidi movement. The anger is always directed somewhere other than

2344
01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 1: the people that are the source of the problem, and

2345
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:42,960
Speaker 1: who knows, even after the events of this week, he

2346
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 1: might need to keep Di around a little longer, otherwise

2347
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to find something else to blame for

2348
01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:51,280
Speaker 1: all the catastrophes on his watch. And lastly, I know

2349
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:54,280
Speaker 1: this isn't the spirit of your show, but goddamn, twenty

2350
01:57:54,320 --> 01:57:56,720
Speaker 1: twenty five Trump might be the least attractive human being

2351
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 1: on the planet. Never thought i'd say this, But no

2352
01:57:59,640 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 1: more conferences, Just tweet, homie. I mean, listen, I y'all

2353
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:08,240
Speaker 1: want to call him ugly, that's fine, I don't. I listen.

2354
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say. I'm not really a person that

2355
01:58:11,840 --> 01:58:14,720
Speaker 1: talks much about people's bodies and being ugly and shit

2356
01:58:14,880 --> 01:58:17,960
Speaker 1: like that, just because I think it's just so much

2357
01:58:19,280 --> 01:58:21,920
Speaker 1: weird shit caught up in that. That being said, I

2358
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:25,280
Speaker 1: respect the rules of the game, Meaning, if you are

2359
01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:28,960
Speaker 1: a terrible person and somebody want to talk about you

2360
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:33,160
Speaker 1: being an unattractive motherfucker, I'm not jumping in front of

2361
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:33,720
Speaker 1: that bullet.

2362
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:36,000
Speaker 4: It's the end of Batman begins.

2363
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 1: When motherfucking Rothsylee Gul was on that train and Batman

2364
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:43,280
Speaker 1: looked at this nigga and said, I don't have to

2365
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:45,960
Speaker 1: kill you, but I don't have to save you. That's

2366
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:47,880
Speaker 1: how I be feeling. That's why you ain't never seen

2367
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 1: me come on here and do nothing to I know

2368
01:58:49,440 --> 01:58:51,480
Speaker 1: there are people who are more principal than me about this,

2369
01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 1: but y'all ain't never gonna see me come on here

2370
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 1: and start talking about like and y'all fat shame Jason Whitlock, nigga.

2371
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 1: I he's a terrible person. If he feel bad because

2372
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:03,840
Speaker 1: of that, he feel bad about it. I don't think

2373
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:08,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it, but he he is a horrible human.

2374
01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:10,960
Speaker 1: It's you know, I get that some people got some

2375
01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 1: like staunch rules again shit like that. I don't. I

2376
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 1: don't have that rule, so I don't participate in it.

2377
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:18,560
Speaker 1: But you know, if y'all want to say Trump has

2378
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:22,400
Speaker 1: a mushroom micro penis and looks like, you know, he's

2379
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:28,960
Speaker 1: an orange melting snowman, what the fuck? I'm on, y'all,

2380
01:59:29,160 --> 01:59:32,240
Speaker 1: we need to stop shaming people like maybe he needs

2381
01:59:32,240 --> 01:59:34,280
Speaker 1: to stop being the worst biggot on the planet. That's

2382
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:37,160
Speaker 1: the most powerful biggot on the planet. I guess Nigga's

2383
01:59:37,200 --> 01:59:39,880
Speaker 1: feelings get hurt, and I'm sorry. If you look like him,

2384
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's that's I'm sorry in more ways than

2385
01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:46,480
Speaker 1: one if you feel if you identify with Man they

01:59:46,520 --> 01:59:48,640
Speaker 1: talk bad about Trump, what they gonna say about me?

2387
01:59:49,960 --> 01:59:52,480
Speaker 1: I really do feel bad for you in a lot

2388
01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:57,680
Speaker 1: of ways, because I would never nigga. Oh man the poe?

2389
01:59:57,680 --> 02:00:00,400
Speaker 1: Are you going to shop at Target anymore? I'm done

2390
02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:04,680
Speaker 1: shopping at Target forever. I'm done for now, but I'll

2391
02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:10,280
Speaker 1: be back eighteen percent. I never did eighteen percent, and

2392
02:00:10,360 --> 02:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I will continue to shop there sixty two percent. I'm yeah.

2393
02:00:14,720 --> 02:00:16,800
Speaker 1: You know what's funny. I don't be in Target that often,

2394
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:22,040
Speaker 1: but I'm the You know what's even funnier When I

2395
02:00:22,080 --> 02:00:26,160
Speaker 1: go to Target? You know what I buy? Bebel That's

2396
02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:28,240
Speaker 1: not only the only thing I bought from Target. Like,

2397
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:30,640
Speaker 1: I'll literally go in there about I mean, I will

2398
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:32,760
Speaker 1: get other shit. Don't get me wrong. Yep, it's Target.

2399
02:00:32,800 --> 02:00:34,720
Speaker 1: If you're gonna buy what reason you go? You're gonna

2400
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:38,320
Speaker 1: buy some bullshit because it's Target. But in general, I like,

2401
02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:41,280
Speaker 1: I'll go get all my shit from like publics. Who

2402
02:00:41,320 --> 02:00:43,120
Speaker 1: knows they could be donating their money to the Klan.

2403
02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:46,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea. But I get I'll get my

2404
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 1: stuff from Target, from Publics or Harris Teeter and then

2405
02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 1: be like, oh but my shaving cream, bebel, it's only

2406
02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:54,120
Speaker 1: in Target. So I guess I was already doing what

2407
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Tabitha said. But I can get online. I don't know.

2408
02:00:57,560 --> 02:01:01,040
Speaker 1: Last episode, I'm gonna play music so I can rest

2409
02:01:01,080 --> 02:01:03,120
Speaker 1: my voice for thirty seconds and it will come back

2410
02:01:03,160 --> 02:01:43,360
Speaker 1: and do the last episode of voicemails and emails. Okay,

2411
02:01:44,120 --> 02:01:44,720
Speaker 1: I like that one.

2412
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:47,600
Speaker 3: And also I just not realized something. A lot of

2413
02:01:47,640 --> 02:01:50,640
Speaker 3: times when I'm speaking. That gives Roger's voice of break

2414
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:52,680
Speaker 3: because you say you're voicing the breakas a lot of times.

2415
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:55,680
Speaker 3: And it also gives me a time to when we're

2416
02:01:55,840 --> 02:01:58,360
Speaker 3: just talking if I want to transition into something else.

2417
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:01,120
Speaker 4: Oh no, I know how you do it. Like you're

2418
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:01,560
Speaker 4: doing it.

2419
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, in addition to the affirmation and stuff, sometimes

2420
02:02:04,680 --> 02:02:07,840
Speaker 1: you're doing it because that's how you double dutch, that's

2421
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:12,160
Speaker 1: how you get in and do your part. Yeah yeah,

2422
02:02:12,440 --> 02:02:16,840
Speaker 1: fuck that person. I don't care. We've done thirty thirty thousand,

2423
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:19,480
Speaker 1: we've done three forty five episodes.

2424
02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:22,879
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, it just made that we.

2425
02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:27,120
Speaker 1: Are objectively correct in what in all the ways that

2426
02:02:27,160 --> 02:02:29,520
Speaker 1: we have decided to do this. I believe the facts

2427
02:02:29,560 --> 02:02:32,480
Speaker 1: are on our side and not they're not. Mister Sme.

2428
02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:36,640
Speaker 1: We have literally never heard of because they do not

2429
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:40,600
Speaker 1: have a podcast that is nearly as popular. So I'll

2430
02:02:40,640 --> 02:02:44,200
Speaker 1: tell you what, I would take that note from anyone

2431
02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:48,680
Speaker 1: who knew what the fuck they were talking about. That's all.

2432
02:02:48,720 --> 02:02:50,400
Speaker 1: You gotta do it all you gotta do show me

2433
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:53,960
Speaker 1: how you turned your talking to your wife into your

2434
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:57,920
Speaker 1: business that you make a living off of and have

2435
02:02:58,040 --> 02:02:58,680
Speaker 1: been doing.

2436
02:02:58,520 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 4: So for fifteen years.

2437
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 1: If you can do that, then I'll I would gladly

2438
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 1: take your note under advise me. If not your you

2439
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 1: can suck all of my did there? You go? All right?

2440
02:03:09,760 --> 02:03:12,680
Speaker 1: We had episode thirty forty five you Can't Spell Jedi

2441
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:15,480
Speaker 1: without DEI. That was when we had Jake and Ac

2442
02:03:15,720 --> 02:03:20,080
Speaker 1: on from the MCU University podcast. Once again, forgot to

2443
02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:22,560
Speaker 1: put this on YouTube. I will make do that after

2444
02:03:22,560 --> 02:03:24,640
Speaker 1: the show. Rona Rafael says, a big fan of the

2445
02:03:24,720 --> 02:03:26,320
Speaker 1: MCU and MCU University.

2446
02:03:26,400 --> 02:03:27,840
Speaker 4: Always enjoying y'all chatting it up.

2447
02:03:27,840 --> 02:03:30,720
Speaker 1: One thing I've started doing before, just before I connected

2448
02:03:30,760 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 1: with the black Out tests, was stopped watching cinema Sins

2449
02:03:33,440 --> 02:03:35,360
Speaker 1: and a bunch of others I used to follow on YouTube.

2450
02:03:35,360 --> 02:03:37,720
Speaker 1: As soon as I connected with you guys, I unsubscribed

2451
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:40,440
Speaker 1: and it helped my movie watching experience. I no longer

2452
02:03:40,480 --> 02:03:44,160
Speaker 1: watch trailer breakdowns, except if I'm not going to see

2453
02:03:44,160 --> 02:03:46,200
Speaker 1: the movie in the theater. I watched the first trailer.

2454
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:49,000
Speaker 1: That's enough for me. I'll see y'all on opening Thursday night.

2455
02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:51,880
Speaker 1: After I have seen and enjoyed the movie for good

2456
02:03:51,960 --> 02:03:55,640
Speaker 1: or bad will I check out the reviews, usually Yours.

2457
02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:57,000
Speaker 4: First and Easter Egg breakdowns.

2458
02:03:57,800 --> 02:04:00,280
Speaker 1: Since I stopped going on that info search and watching

2459
02:04:00,360 --> 02:04:02,360
Speaker 1: or listening to them wild channels, I have enjoyed it

2460
02:04:02,360 --> 02:04:05,760
Speaker 1: a lot. Does it feel like I'm the only one

2461
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 1: watching what I watch? Sometimes? Yes, but that's fine and

2462
02:04:08,480 --> 02:04:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm at peace with it. I rather that than shit

2463
02:04:11,440 --> 02:04:13,000
Speaker 1: on everything and then cry.

2464
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:13,720
Speaker 4: When we get nothing.

2465
02:04:14,160 --> 02:04:18,640
Speaker 1: M Yeah. I think that was big for me. It

2466
02:04:18,680 --> 02:04:21,640
Speaker 1: was just I had to realize that what my problem

2467
02:04:21,840 --> 02:04:26,280
Speaker 1: was was I was still treating enjoying things and being

2468
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:29,680
Speaker 1: a fan of things as associating that with needing to

2469
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:34,800
Speaker 1: be in community and discussion with everybody. And the tenor

2470
02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:38,520
Speaker 1: of the internet is just a very negative, salty environment,

2471
02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:41,720
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, I don't have to. I

2472
02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:44,520
Speaker 1: don't have to consume all of the fighting and fussing

2473
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:48,200
Speaker 1: and negativity just because I liked a movie that's popular.

2474
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:50,480
Speaker 1: I can I can opt out of this part. Agreed.

2475
02:04:50,520 --> 02:04:56,160
Speaker 3: And it's also one of the things to where because

2476
02:04:56,200 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 3: the way the Internet is designed, and I know people

2477
02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:03,440
Speaker 3: don't mean anyth harm by this, whenever you share something

2478
02:05:03,920 --> 02:05:07,040
Speaker 3: that you love, there are gonna be people that be like,

2479
02:05:07,080 --> 02:05:08,840
Speaker 3: oh I love that too, I like that too, whatever

2480
02:05:08,880 --> 02:05:11,480
Speaker 3: the case may be. But there's gonna be always gonna

2481
02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:14,040
Speaker 3: be a subsection that their whole purpose is to talk

2482
02:05:14,080 --> 02:05:15,720
Speaker 3: you out of it. And you was like, I didn't

2483
02:05:15,760 --> 02:05:18,600
Speaker 3: ask for your opinion to talk me out of it. Okay,

2484
02:05:18,640 --> 02:05:21,720
Speaker 3: you didn't like it, and you list your reasons why. Okay,

2485
02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:24,640
Speaker 3: I understand that, but it's still not going to change

2486
02:05:24,680 --> 02:05:26,080
Speaker 3: my opinion about how.

2487
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:27,760
Speaker 1: I get it. Also, I think a big part of

2488
02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: this is that I'm an EmPATH, So I while other

2489
02:05:34,200 --> 02:05:38,400
Speaker 1: people can hear someone's negativity about a thing and feel

2490
02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:40,320
Speaker 1: like nothing, where it's just like, okay, you didn't like

2491
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:43,560
Speaker 1: that thing whatever. My default is like to try to

2492
02:05:43,680 --> 02:05:46,600
Speaker 1: solve or soothe the issue, Like I'm like, I'm more

2493
02:05:46,680 --> 02:05:49,240
Speaker 1: upset that you aren't that you did not have a

2494
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:51,480
Speaker 1: good time and I had a good time, and I'm

2495
02:05:51,480 --> 02:05:55,920
Speaker 1: feeling like a weird level of like guilt or sadness

2496
02:05:55,960 --> 02:05:59,160
Speaker 1: for you when the truth of the matter is and

2497
02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm much better about it now after you know, therapy

2498
02:06:02,440 --> 02:06:04,920
Speaker 1: and shit. But that has nothing to do with it.

2499
02:06:05,200 --> 02:06:05,600
Speaker 5: Nothing.

2500
02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:07,840
Speaker 1: Okay, you didn't like it, It means nothing to me

2501
02:06:07,880 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 1: that you didn't like it. And honestly, a lot of times, uh,

2502
02:06:12,560 --> 02:06:15,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't supersede that I enjoyed it, just like it

2503
02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:19,360
Speaker 1: doesn't supersede that you didn't enjoy it. So and mostly

2504
02:06:19,400 --> 02:06:21,520
Speaker 1: I just don't feel like I'm gaining much out of

2505
02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:24,840
Speaker 1: having these conversations. Shoobody says, you all know that with

2506
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 1: the it's all content now and it doesn't match up.

2507
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:30,640
Speaker 1: It's quality over it's quantity over quality. I compared it

2508
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:32,880
Speaker 1: to the studies that are done on the progression of farming.

2509
02:06:32,960 --> 02:06:36,000
Speaker 1: We have more agriculture agricultural production than before, but it's

2510
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 1: so over engineered that it's less nutrients in it. Even

2511
02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:40,720
Speaker 1: he says, I'm a big fan of the MCU, but

2512
02:06:40,760 --> 02:06:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what James Gunn has the store

2513
02:06:42,640 --> 02:06:45,120
Speaker 1: for the DCU. I like what he did so far

2514
02:06:45,160 --> 02:06:47,760
Speaker 1: with Peacemaker, so I'm excited to see the new Superman movie.

2515
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:50,520
Speaker 1: This is the first time I've been I've been excited

2516
02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 1: about a Superman movie since Christopher Reeves. I liked Henry

2517
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:55,839
Speaker 1: Cavillis Superman, but they did them dirty with those scripts,

2518
02:06:55,840 --> 02:06:59,360
Speaker 1: which were pure ass. I also got super excited when

2519
02:06:59,360 --> 02:07:01,040
Speaker 1: I saw a crypt throw in the trailer because I

2520
02:07:01,080 --> 02:07:03,040
Speaker 1: loved the cheesy stuff. That is why I love Guards

2521
02:07:03,080 --> 02:07:05,680
Speaker 1: of Galaxy so much. I was also super excited to

2522
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:08,240
Speaker 1: see the character mister Terrific. I didn't know a damn

2523
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:10,360
Speaker 1: thing about his character, but I was so happy to

2524
02:07:10,360 --> 02:07:12,240
Speaker 1: see the actor playing him was the guy who played

2525
02:07:12,280 --> 02:07:14,880
Speaker 1: Darren from in the X Men First Class movie. I

2526
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:17,600
Speaker 1: was still so pissed off that they killed off the

2527
02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:19,480
Speaker 1: one X Men that can't be killed, who happened to

2528
02:07:19,520 --> 02:07:22,560
Speaker 1: be the only brother in the movie. Yeah, that that

2529
02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:25,720
Speaker 1: was That did suck, and that was so funny because

2530
02:07:25,760 --> 02:07:27,680
Speaker 1: that was one of those things. I enjoyed that movie,

2531
02:07:27,680 --> 02:07:30,320
Speaker 1: by the way, but when they killed him, I was

2532
02:07:30,360 --> 02:07:32,560
Speaker 1: literally in the theater. I rolled my eyes and thought,

2533
02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:37,839
Speaker 1: Niggas is about to be mad at this God.

2534
02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he said, niggas, mister Terrific.

2535
02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:42,680
Speaker 1: The fuck. No, it wasn't mister Terrific.

2536
02:07:42,760 --> 02:07:45,680
Speaker 4: It was Darren and X Men first class.

2537
02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 1: Oh okay. They presented this dude at the beginning, and

2538
02:07:49,560 --> 02:07:53,200
Speaker 1: it was like, what's his power? He can adapt to anything.

2539
02:07:53,320 --> 02:07:56,240
Speaker 1: He is the ultimate survival. And I said, Oh, that's

2540
02:07:56,240 --> 02:07:59,160
Speaker 1: a cool power, especially for a brother to have. Wow,

2541
02:07:59,280 --> 02:08:01,480
Speaker 1: what an amazing mutant. I can't wait to see the

2542
02:08:01,520 --> 02:08:04,720
Speaker 1: ways that this power comes up. You know, I'm thinking, like,

2543
02:08:05,040 --> 02:08:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, he gets his arm cut off, he can

2544
02:08:06,880 --> 02:08:09,800
Speaker 1: grow an arm back or something or you know, man,

2545
02:08:09,880 --> 02:08:13,200
Speaker 1: they blew this man's head up and and he never

2546
02:08:13,320 --> 02:08:16,840
Speaker 1: came back. I said, why would you? Why?

2547
02:08:17,320 --> 02:08:18,040
Speaker 5: Hollywood?

2548
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:21,080
Speaker 1: Do you know how many Blood brothers just stared at

2549
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:24,760
Speaker 1: the scream like doctor Umar andind they upset. You will

2550
02:08:24,800 --> 02:08:28,480
Speaker 1: never know peace for this justice for that act. I

2551
02:08:28,520 --> 02:08:30,440
Speaker 1: was so happy for him. I hope they do his

2552
02:08:30,560 --> 02:08:33,120
Speaker 1: character justice. I did some research on this character, mister Terrific,

2553
02:08:33,160 --> 02:08:36,120
Speaker 1: so his role should be interesting. Hopefully w B Exachs

2554
02:08:36,160 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 1: don't screw this up. I hope they don't. I don't

2555
02:08:38,240 --> 02:08:40,560
Speaker 1: think they will. It isn't a lot of redemption for

2556
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:42,879
Speaker 1: stuff like that. The brother that played jar Jar Binks

2557
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:47,880
Speaker 1: was recently a Jedi in like Ahska, and so like, yeah,

2558
02:08:47,920 --> 02:08:50,480
Speaker 1: I think I think people have been revisiting the the

2559
02:08:50,680 --> 02:08:53,640
Speaker 1: some of these past injustices and quotes, because I know

2560
02:08:53,680 --> 02:08:57,080
Speaker 1: this ain't a real like civil rights injustice, but yeah, yeah,

2561
02:08:57,120 --> 02:08:59,600
Speaker 1: they've been revisiting them. I like that. Are you a

2562
02:08:59,640 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 1: fan of of our audience says yes. Seventeen percent says no.

2563
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:08,360
Speaker 1: So all right, it sounds fair. Uh, let's move into

2564
02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:12,160
Speaker 1: voicemails everybody. We got one person that left three voicemails,

2565
02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:15,680
Speaker 1: a girl, miss Barnes, who I saw last night. Ain't Raley.

2566
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:18,240
Speaker 1: Why I drop back?

2567
02:09:21,080 --> 02:09:25,480
Speaker 2: Good morning Roding, Karen. This is miss Barnes. So I

2568
02:09:25,520 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 2: have to apologize. I may have to lead several messages,

2569
02:09:28,920 --> 02:09:32,800
Speaker 2: but I wanted to say I had a ball last

2570
02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:36,960
Speaker 2: night at the Basketball Jones show and it was really

2571
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:39,680
Speaker 2: good seeing you and get Rod. I was hoping to

2572
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:42,160
Speaker 2: see Karen, but she said book the busy, do another thing,

2573
02:09:42,280 --> 02:09:46,760
Speaker 2: so I completely understand. But I also I have to

2574
02:09:46,880 --> 02:09:51,800
Speaker 2: mention I recorded your set and it pretty much was

2575
02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:56,320
Speaker 2: a set where you were doing the introduction to the museum.

2576
02:09:57,880 --> 02:10:00,840
Speaker 2: You really truly had the crowd and it was just

2577
02:10:00,960 --> 02:10:06,200
Speaker 2: really it was funny, it was engaging. It was absolutely

2578
02:10:06,360 --> 02:10:11,240
Speaker 2: just the greatest time. And yeah, I'm gonna classify that

2579
02:10:11,280 --> 02:10:14,640
Speaker 2: at whatever a comedy said, because you did good, I

2580
02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 2: could introvert, had the whole room, had the whole rooms

2581
02:10:18,600 --> 02:10:24,320
Speaker 2: undivided attention. So overall, I just can't sing enough praises

2582
02:10:24,480 --> 02:10:28,720
Speaker 2: about the show. It was fantastic. I got a picture

2583
02:10:28,760 --> 02:10:31,120
Speaker 2: of you. I gotta I try to get a picture

2584
02:10:31,160 --> 02:10:33,920
Speaker 2: of the money, but I'll just have to send you

2585
02:10:33,960 --> 02:10:36,320
Speaker 2: what I got, and I will definitely try to send

2586
02:10:36,320 --> 02:10:40,840
Speaker 2: a video. The overall it was a great time, and

2587
02:10:42,800 --> 02:10:45,200
Speaker 2: there was something else I wanted to talk about in

2588
02:10:45,360 --> 02:10:46,800
Speaker 2: the next way mail.

2589
02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:51,880
Speaker 1: All right, a call back. But what I will say is,

2590
02:10:51,920 --> 02:10:56,600
Speaker 1: like on the program that we got, it said.

2591
02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:02,080
Speaker 4: Basically like the itinerary.

2592
02:11:01,520 --> 02:11:05,600
Speaker 1: Like these people go up first for twenty minutes, then

2593
02:11:05,800 --> 02:11:11,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna introduce this other person's gonna come on, They're

2594
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:13,240
Speaker 1: gonna do something, Da da da. And then my thing

2595
02:11:13,560 --> 02:11:18,400
Speaker 1: was this the woman who was gonna introduce me. I

2596
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:26,280
Speaker 1: had five minutes to set up the Duke Museum exhibit

2597
02:11:26,480 --> 02:11:28,560
Speaker 1: sketch and all the stuff that they were about to

2598
02:11:28,600 --> 02:11:36,360
Speaker 1: see from game theory, and so I I obviously I'm

2599
02:11:36,360 --> 02:11:38,640
Speaker 1: not a stand up comedian, and I didn't have like

2600
02:11:38,800 --> 02:11:41,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know until they sent me that that I

2601
02:11:41,160 --> 02:11:44,400
Speaker 1: was gonna have to do that. I just thought i'd

2602
02:11:44,440 --> 02:11:46,440
Speaker 1: get up. I just thought someone else would be doing

2603
02:11:46,440 --> 02:11:48,440
Speaker 1: stuff like that and then they would bring us on

2604
02:11:48,520 --> 02:11:53,680
Speaker 1: stage to talk about it. So, you know, once I

2605
02:11:53,760 --> 02:11:55,440
Speaker 1: found this out, like with like a day to Goo

2606
02:11:55,560 --> 02:11:58,960
Speaker 1: or something, I thought of a few anecdotes and stuff

2607
02:11:58,960 --> 02:12:03,440
Speaker 1: and stories and oaks and stuff from like you know,

2608
02:12:03,800 --> 02:12:06,320
Speaker 1: like what might be interesting to set the piece up.

2609
02:12:08,240 --> 02:12:12,560
Speaker 1: And I wasn't to be honest, I wasn't very nervous.

2610
02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm very confident. And as I've said before, and I

2611
02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:21,840
Speaker 1: don't mean any disrespect to comedians that spent their hell

2612
02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:24,120
Speaker 1: lives doing this ship and I'm not saying it's the

2613
02:12:24,160 --> 02:12:29,200
Speaker 1: same obviously, duh. But I could be as I could

2614
02:12:29,240 --> 02:12:30,920
Speaker 1: do stand up. I don't know that i'd be the

2615
02:12:30,920 --> 02:12:32,880
Speaker 1: most successful nigga in the world to have a great

2616
02:12:32,920 --> 02:12:36,320
Speaker 1: following and all this shit, But like, it's not a

2617
02:12:36,320 --> 02:12:38,720
Speaker 1: thing where I couldn't do it. It's a lot of

2618
02:12:38,720 --> 02:12:41,360
Speaker 1: stuff I could do. I don't want to do everything.

2619
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:44,200
Speaker 1: I could write a TV show. I know that for

2620
02:12:44,280 --> 02:12:46,080
Speaker 1: a fact now because I did it for two years,

2621
02:12:46,120 --> 02:12:48,800
Speaker 1: but it's not like a thing that when I was

2622
02:12:48,840 --> 02:12:51,480
Speaker 1: presented with the opportunity, I was like, I'll never do this.

2623
02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:55,560
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I could do that, Like like

2624
02:12:55,880 --> 02:12:58,480
Speaker 1: I need to know, I need to learn, obviously, but

2625
02:12:58,600 --> 02:13:02,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I could. If you taught me the rules,

2626
02:13:02,320 --> 02:13:03,880
Speaker 1: I can figure out a way to do it within

2627
02:13:03,920 --> 02:13:04,320
Speaker 1: the rules.

2628
02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:04,560
Speaker 2: Right.

2629
02:13:06,760 --> 02:13:09,480
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that that was like a fun and I'm

2630
02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:12,440
Speaker 1: sure we'll talk about it in depth on another episode. Yes,

2631
02:13:12,440 --> 02:13:15,320
Speaker 1: but that was like a very fun thing to do.

2632
02:13:15,640 --> 02:13:19,320
Speaker 1: And you know, same thing when I did Drunk Black History.

2633
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:25,360
Speaker 1: I think I have the skills. And also I've like

2634
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:29,680
Speaker 1: really really studied a lot of standing up and stuff

2635
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:31,840
Speaker 1: like that. It's not the same as doing it. You know,

2636
02:13:31,880 --> 02:13:33,440
Speaker 1: you can watch the NBA. Don't mean even go out

2637
02:13:33,480 --> 02:13:36,560
Speaker 1: there and dunk, that's the truth. But I got some

2638
02:13:36,720 --> 02:13:37,480
Speaker 1: of it, you know.

2639
02:13:37,640 --> 02:13:39,440
Speaker 4: And I feel like kind of what we do, all

2640
02:13:39,480 --> 02:13:40,160
Speaker 4: this talking.

2641
02:13:39,920 --> 02:13:43,440
Speaker 1: We do for a living and and you know, the

2642
02:13:43,480 --> 02:13:45,320
Speaker 1: reason that I don't get nervous before we do live

2643
02:13:45,360 --> 02:13:47,480
Speaker 1: shows and all this shit is just I feel like

2644
02:13:47,520 --> 02:13:48,360
Speaker 1: I can do that, you know.

2645
02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think over the years, and particularly the

2646
02:13:53,240 --> 02:13:57,280
Speaker 3: last one, because we've done several of them. A lot

2647
02:13:57,320 --> 02:13:59,120
Speaker 3: of that for me personally is gone away. And I

2648
02:13:59,120 --> 02:14:00,960
Speaker 3: think a lot of it just in my mind, like

2649
02:14:01,040 --> 02:14:03,200
Speaker 3: you know, like it was like not not a bad

2650
02:14:03,240 --> 02:14:06,000
Speaker 3: mental block, but just like you know, kind of just

2651
02:14:06,080 --> 02:14:06,960
Speaker 3: overthinking and.

2652
02:14:06,920 --> 02:14:07,560
Speaker 1: All that stuff.

2653
02:14:07,560 --> 02:14:09,880
Speaker 3: But then I had to realize, just be yourself and

2654
02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:12,840
Speaker 3: you'll be fine. Like honestly, also, I'm not gonna let

2655
02:14:13,160 --> 02:14:15,880
Speaker 3: you or justin or if you know, any guest that

2656
02:14:15,920 --> 02:14:18,600
Speaker 3: comes on stage, I'm not gonna let you fail, right,

2657
02:14:19,080 --> 02:14:20,480
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, I'm not.

2658
02:14:20,360 --> 02:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Gonna set you up. I'm not gonna get up there

2659
02:14:22,040 --> 02:14:24,800
Speaker 1: and just stop talking and be like, well, caaren you

2660
02:14:24,800 --> 02:14:27,400
Speaker 1: want to introduce all the articles like like you just

2661
02:14:27,400 --> 02:14:29,840
Speaker 1: gotta show up, be yourself. I'll make We're gonna make

2662
02:14:29,880 --> 02:14:32,680
Speaker 1: it as comfortable as possible. Yes, and our audience doesn't

2663
02:14:32,720 --> 02:14:34,400
Speaker 1: want to see us feel like. That's the thing I

2664
02:14:34,400 --> 02:14:38,280
Speaker 1: would say, is why it may have felt like a

2665
02:14:38,320 --> 02:14:41,120
Speaker 1: stand up set. And if I can get the audio

2666
02:14:41,280 --> 02:14:43,400
Speaker 1: or the or the video, I'll upload it somewhere so

2667
02:14:43,440 --> 02:14:46,760
Speaker 1: people can see it and look. And I felt and

2668
02:14:46,840 --> 02:14:49,600
Speaker 1: I felt I was doing good, not not great, like

2669
02:14:49,640 --> 02:14:52,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't killing But I don't think that was the point,

2670
02:14:52,120 --> 02:14:54,960
Speaker 1: it's not really stand up, it's me introducing something else.

2671
02:14:55,320 --> 02:14:59,839
Speaker 4: But the point I was gonna make is I think

2672
02:15:00,680 --> 02:15:01,320
Speaker 4: it was.

2673
02:15:03,480 --> 02:15:08,480
Speaker 1: Funny and informative and accomplish the point. But it's also

2674
02:15:08,560 --> 02:15:12,200
Speaker 1: a home crowd. So like when we do our live show,

2675
02:15:12,640 --> 02:15:16,320
Speaker 1: that's a home crowd. It is you. You shouldn't bomb

2676
02:15:16,360 --> 02:15:18,760
Speaker 1: in there, you know what I'm saying. A comedian got

2677
02:15:18,800 --> 02:15:20,880
Speaker 1: a harder job because sometimes they got it going for

2678
02:15:21,160 --> 02:15:24,480
Speaker 1: a room full of people that either aren't fans or

2679
02:15:24,600 --> 02:15:27,000
Speaker 1: just I just like comedy. Oh I'm in here eating

2680
02:15:27,040 --> 02:15:29,840
Speaker 1: in a comedy show, just breaks out. I disagree with

2681
02:15:29,880 --> 02:15:33,280
Speaker 1: everything that you stand for, like you, those aren't things

2682
02:15:33,320 --> 02:15:37,000
Speaker 1: we have to necessarily worry about. If people trickle into

2683
02:15:37,000 --> 02:15:41,000
Speaker 1: our live show, I'd say ninety seven percent of them

2684
02:15:41,040 --> 02:15:43,600
Speaker 1: are fans of ours, and then like maybe three percent

2685
02:15:43,600 --> 02:15:45,880
Speaker 1: of just like I wanted to see some comedy. So

2686
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't think we would have this. I would not

2687
02:15:48,880 --> 02:15:51,560
Speaker 1: count it the same as like being stand up and

2688
02:15:51,640 --> 02:15:54,200
Speaker 1: doing stand up. To do real stand up, I would

2689
02:15:54,360 --> 02:15:57,880
Speaker 1: need to fail a lot, and I don't. Honestly, I

2690
02:15:57,920 --> 02:16:01,000
Speaker 1: don't feel like going through all that. I'm forty five.

2691
02:16:01,280 --> 02:16:03,720
Speaker 1: It's feel too late to be trying to have that dream,

2692
02:16:04,120 --> 02:16:06,520
Speaker 1: and it seemed way too much fucking work. It just

2693
02:16:06,560 --> 02:16:11,600
Speaker 1: seems like very thankless, like a lot of effort for

2694
02:16:11,760 --> 02:16:16,240
Speaker 1: a little bit a small glimmer of a chance that

2695
02:16:16,320 --> 02:16:18,560
Speaker 1: you even blow up with it. But even the people

2696
02:16:18,560 --> 02:16:20,360
Speaker 1: that blow up with this shit, it don't even really

2697
02:16:20,400 --> 02:16:23,320
Speaker 1: seem all that fun. It seemed like a headache sometimes.

2698
02:16:23,440 --> 02:16:25,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think I could do it, and I'm glad,

2699
02:16:25,840 --> 02:16:26,560
Speaker 1: but I'm mostly glad.

2700
02:16:26,600 --> 02:16:27,200
Speaker 4: Y'all enjoy it.

2701
02:16:27,320 --> 02:16:28,360
Speaker 1: I'll finish playing.

2702
02:16:28,080 --> 02:16:33,080
Speaker 2: These fines again. So I want to say Ron and

2703
02:16:33,160 --> 02:16:39,080
Speaker 2: Karen thank you so much for your your continued insight

2704
02:16:39,240 --> 02:16:43,920
Speaker 2: into social media and the aspect that it has on people.

2705
02:16:45,040 --> 02:16:48,800
Speaker 2: I gave myself a goal on January the first, which

2706
02:16:48,959 --> 02:16:54,440
Speaker 2: was no no Instagram, no Facebook, no social media. So

2707
02:16:54,800 --> 02:17:01,240
Speaker 2: I've been without basically for months, and I really truly

2708
02:17:02,800 --> 02:17:06,960
Speaker 2: like how I felt. It allowed me to do other things,

2709
02:17:07,400 --> 02:17:11,400
Speaker 2: Like I ordered a whole bunch of books last year,

2710
02:17:12,040 --> 02:17:14,240
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I have all these books on my

2711
02:17:14,280 --> 02:17:17,560
Speaker 2: shelf and I have not been reading them. So I

2712
02:17:17,640 --> 02:17:20,840
Speaker 2: cracked open a few books and I started reading, and

2713
02:17:21,160 --> 02:17:25,840
Speaker 2: I just like, how, I I'm sorry, let me go back.

2714
02:17:26,240 --> 02:17:29,720
Speaker 2: I noticed how I felt after I was scrolling on

2715
02:17:29,760 --> 02:17:32,920
Speaker 2: Instagram and Facebook. I try to be the person that

2716
02:17:33,040 --> 02:17:36,039
Speaker 2: posts and run. I'll post my picture and then take

2717
02:17:36,040 --> 02:17:39,920
Speaker 2: off running, but sometimes I scroll and I thought I

2718
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:44,480
Speaker 2: curated my timeline well enough to where craziness went show up.

2719
02:17:44,480 --> 02:17:47,480
Speaker 2: The craziness showed up. So I'm like, you know, there

2720
02:17:47,560 --> 02:17:50,000
Speaker 2: was a goal that I had in January, and I'm like,

2721
02:17:50,120 --> 02:17:53,000
Speaker 2: I did not need any distractions. I walked off for

2722
02:17:53,080 --> 02:17:59,040
Speaker 2: the month and it felt great, and yeah, I probably

2723
02:17:59,080 --> 02:18:04,959
Speaker 2: will do it again, but overall, I just decided to.

2724
02:18:06,640 --> 02:18:08,640
Speaker 2: I just decided to go ahead and do it. And

2725
02:18:08,840 --> 02:18:11,279
Speaker 2: thank you so much for having Karen. I really truly

2726
02:18:11,800 --> 02:18:17,240
Speaker 2: appreciate your insight into social media and the effects that

2727
02:18:17,280 --> 02:18:20,360
Speaker 2: I ass on everyone. Thank you so much. Have a

2728
02:18:20,360 --> 02:18:20,760
Speaker 2: good one.

2729
02:18:21,440 --> 02:18:23,039
Speaker 1: She called back one more time. But I do want

2730
02:18:23,080 --> 02:18:24,879
Speaker 1: to take a mama to say, you know what she

2731
02:18:24,920 --> 02:18:29,360
Speaker 1: made me think about. I have never heard anyone. I

2732
02:18:29,400 --> 02:18:31,800
Speaker 1: don't know anyone who told me they took a break

2733
02:18:31,800 --> 02:18:33,279
Speaker 1: from social media and felt worse.

2734
02:18:34,320 --> 02:18:36,800
Speaker 3: One percent, and and a lot of people who've never

2735
02:18:36,840 --> 02:18:38,920
Speaker 3: taken a break to understand, like I'm telling you. Around now,

2736
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:41,720
Speaker 3: everybody that I've talked to, even if they take a

2737
02:18:41,760 --> 02:18:44,640
Speaker 3: week or two weeks or twenty four hours. They were like,

2738
02:18:44,720 --> 02:18:47,000
Speaker 3: I felt so much better, and the same thing you said,

2739
02:18:47,080 --> 02:18:49,640
Speaker 3: Miss Barnes. They were like, all of a sudden, I

2740
02:18:49,680 --> 02:18:54,240
Speaker 3: started making making plans with friends. I started doing lunch things.

2741
02:18:54,280 --> 02:18:57,160
Speaker 3: I started spending more time with my kid. I started reading.

2742
02:18:57,320 --> 02:18:59,240
Speaker 3: I started getting the hobby. Like when you talk to

2743
02:18:59,280 --> 02:19:01,200
Speaker 3: people and they made make these moves. It's like, all

2744
02:19:01,240 --> 02:19:03,480
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it's just interesting.

2745
02:19:03,160 --> 02:19:05,960
Speaker 1: Because I feel like our because we I mean, it

2746
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:07,880
Speaker 1: works on our brains. It's supposed to. The double mean

2747
02:19:07,920 --> 02:19:11,000
Speaker 1: works this way. I think our brains are like, no,

2748
02:19:11,160 --> 02:19:13,240
Speaker 1: don't take a break. You're gonna miss out on things.

2749
02:19:13,280 --> 02:19:15,120
Speaker 1: You're not gonna know the news, you're not gonna know

2750
02:19:15,120 --> 02:19:17,760
Speaker 1: what's going on. You're not going to see the funny

2751
02:19:17,800 --> 02:19:21,879
Speaker 1: parts and the good things. And literally everybody I have

2752
02:19:22,040 --> 02:19:24,240
Speaker 1: ever known who has told me they took a certain

2753
02:19:24,240 --> 02:19:27,320
Speaker 1: amount of time off from social media has always told me,

2754
02:19:28,040 --> 02:19:31,400
Speaker 1: oh no, I felt better. And it's just weird. I'm

2755
02:19:31,400 --> 02:19:34,040
Speaker 1: not saying it's right or wrong. It's just more weird

2756
02:19:34,120 --> 02:19:38,560
Speaker 1: that we don't we don't have the opposite where it's like, man,

2757
02:19:38,600 --> 02:19:39,920
Speaker 1: I was off Twitter, what the fuck?

2758
02:19:39,959 --> 02:19:40,119
Speaker 3: Bro?

2759
02:19:40,200 --> 02:19:43,240
Speaker 1: I felt terrible, Like everybody's like, oh no, this is better,

2760
02:19:43,440 --> 02:19:46,120
Speaker 1: this is better. But I mean, you know, but it's

2761
02:19:46,160 --> 02:19:48,600
Speaker 1: like doing crack, I guess, or you know, like mental

2762
02:19:48,640 --> 02:19:52,120
Speaker 1: crack where it's like, you know, nothing's better than crack

2763
02:19:52,160 --> 02:19:55,240
Speaker 1: when you're on crack until motherfuckers are like, I got clean,

2764
02:19:55,560 --> 02:19:58,680
Speaker 1: That's the best high, and I'm like, huh, because I'm

2765
02:19:58,680 --> 02:20:00,160
Speaker 1: over here, still on the glass, din.

2766
02:20:03,959 --> 02:20:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm on these boysmails, rambling. So anyways, I will always.

2767
02:20:08,160 --> 02:20:12,039
Speaker 2: I will also mention that I cannot wait this month

2768
02:20:12,760 --> 02:20:14,560
Speaker 2: to be at the live show. It's gonna be great

2769
02:20:15,200 --> 02:20:17,600
Speaker 2: and I get to see all of my internet cousins

2770
02:20:18,320 --> 02:20:20,920
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be a good time. And I absolutely

2771
02:20:21,560 --> 02:20:24,040
Speaker 2: You asked me you're gonna come, and I was like, absolutely,

2772
02:20:24,200 --> 02:20:27,160
Speaker 2: I sure will. So in the meantime, I hope you

2773
02:20:27,200 --> 02:20:31,160
Speaker 2: and Karen have a wonderful weekend. Y'all, take care, bye.

2774
02:20:30,959 --> 02:20:33,040
Speaker 1: Bye, thank you, and we look forward to seeing all

2775
02:20:33,120 --> 02:20:34,120
Speaker 1: y'all at the live show.

2776
02:20:34,240 --> 02:20:36,039
Speaker 4: Karen will actually be there, so.

2777
02:20:36,320 --> 02:20:40,800
Speaker 3: Yes, I will be there, and I'm excited about it.

2778
02:20:40,840 --> 02:20:44,840
Speaker 3: We're still prepping and getting prepared and doing some things.

2779
02:20:44,920 --> 02:20:48,040
Speaker 3: So I am really excited about the people that are

2780
02:20:48,040 --> 02:20:50,800
Speaker 3: going to be there and being personal and about the

2781
02:20:50,800 --> 02:20:53,320
Speaker 3: people that are going to see it live.

2782
02:20:53,400 --> 02:20:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm really excited. I do have an idea for what

2783
02:20:56,480 --> 02:20:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm working on, an idea of what I think the

2784
02:20:58,480 --> 02:21:01,520
Speaker 1: show is going to be. So excited I'll be excited

2785
02:21:01,680 --> 02:21:03,920
Speaker 1: to I'll probably wait. I probably like when we did

2786
02:21:03,920 --> 02:21:07,720
Speaker 1: the bullet ball thing, why not that we're doing that again?

2787
02:21:07,840 --> 02:21:11,240
Speaker 1: But I mean probably like that. How didn't tell anybody,

2788
02:21:11,400 --> 02:21:14,320
Speaker 1: not even caring and justin until the day of. I

2789
02:21:14,320 --> 02:21:16,160
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna tell anybody to the day of.

2790
02:21:16,280 --> 02:21:18,200
Speaker 1: But I think I have a plan for what this

2791
02:21:18,959 --> 02:21:20,880
Speaker 1: show is gonna be, and I'm excited about it, and

2792
02:21:20,920 --> 02:21:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. All Right, we got emails, and

2793
02:21:26,120 --> 02:21:29,080
Speaker 1: that's the last thing. So let me play one more

2794
02:21:29,120 --> 02:22:04,760
Speaker 1: beat and take some more water, all right. Bereave hands

2795
02:22:04,760 --> 02:22:07,760
Speaker 1: throwing from Keanna, who says the story y'all read about

2796
02:22:07,760 --> 02:22:09,920
Speaker 1: the sisters fighting at the funeral was funny because every

2797
02:22:09,920 --> 02:22:12,880
Speaker 1: black funeral I've ever attended was marred by some bullshit.

2798
02:22:13,240 --> 02:22:15,520
Speaker 1: One of my great grandmothers died when I was twelve.

2799
02:22:15,560 --> 02:22:17,760
Speaker 1: It was sad, but she had been sick with alzheimer

2800
02:22:17,800 --> 02:22:20,600
Speaker 1: for a long time, so it wasn't terribly surprising. As

2801
02:22:20,600 --> 02:22:23,120
Speaker 1: we were getting ready to file into a family limbo.

2802
02:22:23,200 --> 02:22:25,160
Speaker 1: My great uncle and my cousin, who was raised by

2803
02:22:25,200 --> 02:22:27,680
Speaker 1: my great grandmother were literally about to start swinging on

2804
02:22:27,720 --> 02:22:30,560
Speaker 1: each other. The next door neighbors was trying to de escalate,

2805
02:22:30,600 --> 02:22:32,800
Speaker 1: and one of my aunts was crying like Monica.

2806
02:22:32,480 --> 02:22:34,480
Speaker 4: Calhoun in the bathroom in the players Club.

2807
02:22:35,480 --> 02:22:39,240
Speaker 1: My tiny teen, my teeny tiny, less than five foot

2808
02:22:39,280 --> 02:22:44,360
Speaker 1: tall auntie stepped in and threatened to beat both of

2809
02:22:44,400 --> 02:22:46,520
Speaker 1: their asses. And they didn't calm down. If they didn't

2810
02:22:46,520 --> 02:22:48,560
Speaker 1: calm down getting the car, Shit was wild, and I

2811
02:22:48,640 --> 02:22:51,080
Speaker 1: was mad traumatized behind it. I can ree that at

2812
02:22:51,080 --> 02:22:53,879
Speaker 1: another funeral for a coworker, his two sons almost got

2813
02:22:53,879 --> 02:22:56,480
Speaker 1: into a fistfight. We were getting ready to head to

2814
02:22:56,520 --> 02:22:59,959
Speaker 1: the church. When they're previously passive, aggressive out the case

2815
02:23:00,280 --> 02:23:02,480
Speaker 1: came to a head. One of them yelled, bitch, I'm

2816
02:23:02,480 --> 02:23:05,959
Speaker 1: trying to bury my father. He had put, he had put,

2817
02:23:06,120 --> 02:23:08,480
Speaker 1: he had not put a single penny towards arrangements or

2818
02:23:08,480 --> 02:23:11,320
Speaker 1: a single word in the bituary, but felt like he

2819
02:23:11,560 --> 02:23:13,680
Speaker 1: was big buffing boss that day.

2820
02:23:14,120 --> 02:23:15,520
Speaker 4: Again, shit was wild.

2821
02:23:15,840 --> 02:23:18,160
Speaker 1: I just sat back and judging because their father would

2822
02:23:18,160 --> 02:23:20,800
Speaker 1: have been more the five. I can't remember any others

2823
02:23:21,040 --> 02:23:23,840
Speaker 1: where there was almost to fight, but I probably, but

2824
02:23:23,879 --> 02:23:27,119
Speaker 1: it's probably not terribly uncommon because everyone's emotions are high

2825
02:23:27,200 --> 02:23:29,680
Speaker 1: and sadness can turn the anger really quickly depending on

2826
02:23:29,720 --> 02:23:30,600
Speaker 1: the family dynamic.

2827
02:23:30,680 --> 02:23:31,440
Speaker 4: Right, love y'all?

2828
02:23:32,120 --> 02:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, was so far, so good for me. I haven't

2829
02:23:35,800 --> 02:23:40,040
Speaker 1: been to me. My family don't fight at funerals, like

2830
02:23:40,120 --> 02:23:42,760
Speaker 1: they might be beefing, but they not fit to just

2831
02:23:42,840 --> 02:23:45,119
Speaker 1: like put that shit out to the world, and honestly

2832
02:23:45,280 --> 02:23:49,120
Speaker 1: it's for the best. I don't be on here.

2833
02:23:49,120 --> 02:23:51,680
Speaker 4: Having explained, I was at the ship. Guess the race.

2834
02:23:51,760 --> 02:23:55,400
Speaker 1: It's us what art where they were shooting at the funeral?

2835
02:23:55,520 --> 02:23:58,879
Speaker 1: You were like shooting at the funeral, Kanta says. For

2836
02:23:58,920 --> 02:24:01,439
Speaker 1: people who are looking at stand form but not overwhelmed,

2837
02:24:01,440 --> 02:24:04,080
Speaker 1: PBS News Hour is a really good source of information.

2838
02:24:04,440 --> 02:24:07,039
Speaker 1: It's not sensationalized or skewed towards the political party.

2839
02:24:07,080 --> 02:24:07,879
Speaker 4: It's just the news.

2840
02:24:08,040 --> 02:24:10,320
Speaker 1: They streamed up videos live on YouTube and I believe

2841
02:24:10,360 --> 02:24:13,000
Speaker 1: they are also on Spotify. Folks interested can also sign

2842
02:24:13,040 --> 02:24:15,359
Speaker 1: up for World Health Organization newsletter by going.

2843
02:24:15,160 --> 02:24:18,760
Speaker 4: To a link to Newsroom Newsletter.

2844
02:24:18,879 --> 02:24:23,360
Speaker 1: I in who do I int slash Newsroom Newsletters, So

2845
02:24:23,640 --> 02:24:27,840
Speaker 1: there you go, Nachelle says, tab tab Hey riding care

2846
02:24:28,480 --> 02:24:30,840
Speaker 1: try to ignore this boycott business because it felt like

2847
02:24:30,920 --> 02:24:33,800
Speaker 1: something people wouldn't really commit to. You're right about there's

2848
02:24:33,840 --> 02:24:37,040
Speaker 1: no plan or ask people got wound up online and

2849
02:24:37,160 --> 02:24:39,000
Speaker 1: my sister is sending me a list of place at

2850
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:42,840
Speaker 1: the boycott. This doesn't seem feasible for most people right Anyway.

2851
02:24:42,879 --> 02:24:45,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised that Tabitha defended her stands because this

2852
02:24:45,879 --> 02:24:48,240
Speaker 1: is her livelihood and she has to protect her trademark.

2853
02:24:48,360 --> 02:24:48,959
Speaker 1: Nice brand.

2854
02:24:49,320 --> 02:24:51,439
Speaker 4: However, she got this new gig.

2855
02:24:51,200 --> 02:24:54,640
Speaker 1: As chief Empowerment Officer for Clover, which is a point

2856
02:24:54,640 --> 02:24:57,560
Speaker 1: of sales system targeted to small businesses. This is a

2857
02:24:57,560 --> 02:25:01,320
Speaker 1: big deal because the find finance tech industry rarely has

2858
02:25:01,360 --> 02:25:04,280
Speaker 1: any black people in any role. I used to attend

2859
02:25:04,280 --> 02:25:09,560
Speaker 1: the annual Finance Tech or find Fintech conference either a

2860
02:25:09,680 --> 02:25:13,720
Speaker 1: media pass or I was always the only black woman there.

2861
02:25:14,600 --> 02:25:15,879
Speaker 4: So she clicked the link.

2862
02:25:15,959 --> 02:25:18,720
Speaker 1: She sent a link to Adweek showing that Tabitha Brown

2863
02:25:18,760 --> 02:25:22,840
Speaker 1: is Clover's first chief Empowerment Officer. And I want to

2864
02:25:22,879 --> 02:25:27,800
Speaker 1: say this is from like this is very recent, is

2865
02:25:27,840 --> 02:25:30,199
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like this is not some like Oh.

2866
02:25:30,720 --> 02:25:33,520
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, she became the empowerment officer. Yeah,

2867
02:25:33,560 --> 02:25:37,240
Speaker 1: January thirty of twenty twenty five. So look, y'all don't

2868
02:25:37,240 --> 02:25:39,520
Speaker 1: know what the fuck be happening behind the scenes. So

2869
02:25:39,800 --> 02:25:41,640
Speaker 1: while y'all are shitting on her and calling her all

2870
02:25:41,720 --> 02:25:46,160
Speaker 1: kinds of coons and shit, she's literally working with this

2871
02:25:46,240 --> 02:25:50,680
Speaker 1: business and possibly hopefully passing it on to some black

2872
02:25:50,720 --> 02:25:52,920
Speaker 1: people with her with her influence over there. Like, I

2873
02:25:53,200 --> 02:25:56,120
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't It's a fucked up, crooked

2874
02:25:56,280 --> 02:25:58,840
Speaker 1: NAVI system that we're navigating. And I just don't think

2875
02:25:58,879 --> 02:26:02,400
Speaker 1: that anybody's clean as they think they are online. And

2876
02:26:02,440 --> 02:26:04,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are just using this

2877
02:26:04,520 --> 02:26:05,599
Speaker 1: the grand stand.

2878
02:26:05,760 --> 02:26:09,000
Speaker 3: I well, Henderson agreed, and I've used for Clover is

2879
02:26:09,040 --> 02:26:11,840
Speaker 3: a good app one of the cupcake places we enjoy

2880
02:26:11,920 --> 02:26:12,520
Speaker 3: do Clovers.

2881
02:26:12,520 --> 02:26:16,800
Speaker 1: And you look at like discounts and stuff. It's really neat. Yeah,

2882
02:26:16,920 --> 02:26:20,040
Speaker 1: racist fires, Walmart, etcetera. John says, good morning riding, Karen.

2883
02:26:20,120 --> 02:26:22,320
Speaker 1: Sorry have been away so long, but unfortunately our house

2884
02:26:22,400 --> 02:26:25,680
Speaker 1: burned down and Eaton canyon fire that destroyed most of

2885
02:26:25,720 --> 02:26:27,320
Speaker 1: the wonderful city Alt Dina.

2886
02:26:27,480 --> 02:26:29,960
Speaker 5: What all fuck baby?

2887
02:26:30,680 --> 02:26:33,480
Speaker 1: It started at six twenty pm January seventh, about three

2888
02:26:33,520 --> 02:26:36,560
Speaker 1: miles from US but by seven point thirty, amongst some

2889
02:26:36,600 --> 02:26:39,320
Speaker 1: of the most violent Santa Ana winds we have ever experienced,

2890
02:26:39,320 --> 02:26:40,960
Speaker 1: we got a knock on our door in the neighbor

2891
02:26:41,040 --> 02:26:43,840
Speaker 1: yelled there's a fire, you gotta get out. When I

2892
02:26:43,879 --> 02:26:46,000
Speaker 1: stepped out into the driveway, I could see a wall

2893
02:26:46,040 --> 02:26:48,800
Speaker 1: of flames coming down the mountain ridge closest to us,

2894
02:26:49,160 --> 02:26:51,160
Speaker 1: something I had never seen before in all of our

2895
02:26:51,160 --> 02:26:53,280
Speaker 1: many close calls, and we knew it was time to bell.

2896
02:26:53,320 --> 02:26:55,960
Speaker 1: We grabbed our cast and our important documents and literally

2897
02:26:56,480 --> 02:26:58,880
Speaker 1: ran to our car and our pajamas, and then drove

2898
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:02,080
Speaker 1: to the through an army getting like scenario of constant smoke,

2899
02:27:02,160 --> 02:27:05,960
Speaker 1: scary winds, down power lines, amber's flying everywhere, et cetera,

2900
02:27:06,480 --> 02:27:09,680
Speaker 1: until we've safely reached the friend's house away from the fire.

2901
02:27:09,760 --> 02:27:11,800
Speaker 1: We spent the night glued to the news, apped up,

2902
02:27:11,920 --> 02:27:14,240
Speaker 1: unable to sleep, and the next day we confirmed that

2903
02:27:14,280 --> 02:27:16,680
Speaker 1: our whole block had been burned to the ground, including

2904
02:27:16,680 --> 02:27:19,680
Speaker 1: our home. Fortunately, we had renters insurance cover a good

2905
02:27:19,760 --> 02:27:21,800
Speaker 1: chunk of our belongings, and several of our friends and

2906
02:27:21,840 --> 02:27:25,000
Speaker 1: coworkers were super generous to our gofunme and inn. A

2907
02:27:25,040 --> 02:27:28,480
Speaker 1: bizarre twist of fate friends of ours found a job

2908
02:27:28,600 --> 02:27:32,240
Speaker 1: offered for me and see some some tipperary free lodging

2909
02:27:32,840 --> 02:27:35,360
Speaker 1: in Taos, New Mexico, a place we have been thinking

2910
02:27:35,360 --> 02:27:38,760
Speaker 1: about moving to, so we decided to just go. Yeah,

2911
02:27:38,760 --> 02:27:41,840
Speaker 1: I guess at that point it is like a just

2912
02:27:41,879 --> 02:27:45,440
Speaker 1: go like I mean not, I wouldn't blame you for staying.

2913
02:27:45,480 --> 02:27:48,520
Speaker 1: But also it's like if you had already been thinking

2914
02:27:48,520 --> 02:27:50,720
Speaker 1: about moving away, it's like, well, this is the this,

2915
02:27:50,840 --> 02:27:51,680
Speaker 1: the this the sign.

2916
02:27:51,760 --> 02:27:54,920
Speaker 3: Nigga right, we can't we can't get any clearer than this.

2917
02:27:55,120 --> 02:27:58,280
Speaker 3: And uh, I know it sounds odd to say after fact,

2918
02:27:58,280 --> 02:28:00,800
Speaker 3: but shout out to you for being organ to know

2919
02:28:00,840 --> 02:28:02,880
Speaker 3: what all your important documentations are.

2920
02:28:02,920 --> 02:28:05,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine if you live in a place like

2921
02:28:05,480 --> 02:28:08,920
Speaker 1: this under constant fire threat. I was gonna say, probably

2922
02:28:08,959 --> 02:28:11,160
Speaker 1: a lot of y'all have a go bag type situation

2923
02:28:11,240 --> 02:28:14,400
Speaker 1: because you don't have a choice. So we've got really

2924
02:28:14,440 --> 02:28:16,440
Speaker 1: lucky and our doing okay all things considered, But so

2925
02:28:16,480 --> 02:28:18,440
Speaker 1: many of our neighbors weren't so lucky. While most of

2926
02:28:18,480 --> 02:28:21,040
Speaker 1: the news coverage has focused on the Palisades fire, where

2927
02:28:21,040 --> 02:28:24,200
Speaker 1: the most wealthy white people live, our city of Altadena

2928
02:28:24,240 --> 02:28:26,160
Speaker 1: had a rich black history as one of the first

2929
02:28:26,200 --> 02:28:30,119
Speaker 1: cities in California where middle class black families could buy homes. Yeah,

2930
02:28:30,160 --> 02:28:32,680
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's the same place from the warmth

2931
02:28:32,760 --> 02:28:36,280
Speaker 1: of other sons that they were driving to, that one

2932
02:28:36,320 --> 02:28:39,840
Speaker 1: doctor was driving to. It was also an early safe

2933
02:28:39,840 --> 02:28:42,879
Speaker 1: space for interracial couples. Most of California and America was not.

2934
02:28:43,560 --> 02:28:46,119
Speaker 1: Our black home owner rates were twice the national average.

2935
02:28:46,120 --> 02:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Octavia Butler was a long time resident, and so was

2936
02:28:48,680 --> 02:28:53,080
Speaker 1: pioneering black architect Charles White. Our city was sleepless in blackness,

2937
02:28:53,600 --> 02:28:57,280
Speaker 1: sleep steeped in blackness, was steeped in blackness, and it

2938
02:28:57,360 --> 02:28:59,560
Speaker 1: was one of the things we loved so much about

2939
02:28:59,600 --> 02:29:01,880
Speaker 1: it and will miss dearly. Roughly nine thousand homes of

2940
02:29:01,920 --> 02:29:04,920
Speaker 1: the story by our fire, and many of them were

2941
02:29:04,920 --> 02:29:08,440
Speaker 1: ones that have been homes of black families for multiple generations. Anyways,

2942
02:29:08,840 --> 02:29:10,640
Speaker 1: I thought fans of the show might be interested in

2943
02:29:10,720 --> 02:29:13,520
Speaker 1: helping summon them out, so I'm including a Google front

2944
02:29:13,600 --> 02:29:17,960
Speaker 1: a spreadsheet of black family go funmeans all right, I'll

2945
02:29:17,959 --> 02:29:21,320
Speaker 1: try to include this in the show notes as well.

2946
02:29:22,680 --> 02:29:24,480
Speaker 1: Who are in need of support if you would be

2947
02:29:24,520 --> 02:29:27,080
Speaker 1: open to putting it on the show notes. What made

2948
02:29:27,120 --> 02:29:29,920
Speaker 1: the tragedy even worse is that there were some First

2949
02:29:29,920 --> 02:29:31,880
Speaker 1: of all, can you imagine you put that in the email?

2950
02:29:31,879 --> 02:29:34,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, I ain't putting them in

2951
02:29:34,560 --> 02:29:37,600
Speaker 1: the show notes. Okay, what about my brand? Did you

2952
02:29:37,640 --> 02:29:40,960
Speaker 1: think about that? We would never do that. Okay, but

2953
02:29:41,440 --> 02:29:44,080
Speaker 1: just shop at Target and shut the hell up. That's

2954
02:29:44,080 --> 02:29:46,520
Speaker 1: what they act like, Tamitha said, Right, what made the

2955
02:29:46,560 --> 02:29:49,119
Speaker 1: tragedy even worse is that there were some assholes who

2956
02:29:49,160 --> 02:29:51,800
Speaker 1: started looting to evacuated homes. So, of course the show

2957
02:29:52,280 --> 02:29:55,120
Speaker 1: so of course the sheriffs, boarder supervisor media made that

2958
02:29:55,200 --> 02:29:57,199
Speaker 1: into a really big deal in a way that felt

2959
02:29:57,200 --> 02:30:00,680
Speaker 1: super racist. Yeah. Then they found like white dudes and

2960
02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:04,280
Speaker 1: fireman's outfits, and shit, I was like, they they looting.

2961
02:30:04,400 --> 02:30:07,200
Speaker 1: Damn he thought about that looting? Who the fuck got

2962
02:30:07,200 --> 02:30:10,600
Speaker 1: our spare fireman's outfit? He was he was on some

2963
02:30:10,680 --> 02:30:15,240
Speaker 1: other ship. On a lighter note, after we moved to Towles,

2964
02:30:15,560 --> 02:30:17,440
Speaker 1: we needed to buy some basic goods, so we went

2965
02:30:17,480 --> 02:30:19,640
Speaker 1: to Walmart and for the first time ever got damn,

2966
02:30:19,760 --> 02:30:22,360
Speaker 1: it really is the ghetto. Like y'all have joked about

2967
02:30:22,360 --> 02:30:24,480
Speaker 1: it for so many years. The workers were all miserable and.

2968
02:30:24,480 --> 02:30:25,720
Speaker 4: Looked like recovery methodists.

2969
02:30:25,760 --> 02:30:28,320
Speaker 1: It was scary. Than the damn fire. It's the worst.

2970
02:30:28,879 --> 02:30:30,400
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Walmart is terrible.

2971
02:30:30,480 --> 02:30:33,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of the Walmarts near us, it looks

2972
02:30:33,120 --> 02:30:36,240
Speaker 3: like they like they uh what to the corral and

2973
02:30:36,360 --> 02:30:39,400
Speaker 3: cows because the wedge designed you go in one way

2974
02:30:40,000 --> 02:30:43,240
Speaker 3: and then you like it's like a gate locked and

2975
02:30:43,280 --> 02:30:45,520
Speaker 3: the only way to get out is to navigate back

2976
02:30:45,560 --> 02:30:50,279
Speaker 3: around and like to either go out through the cash

2977
02:30:50,320 --> 02:30:54,160
Speaker 3: register or either the uh where the one person with

2978
02:30:54,160 --> 02:30:56,520
Speaker 3: the multiple resisters, and that's the only way to get out,

2979
02:30:56,560 --> 02:30:59,080
Speaker 3: Like you literally can't just turn around, go in and

2980
02:30:59,280 --> 02:31:02,200
Speaker 3: come back out. I don't like to feel like I'm

2981
02:31:02,240 --> 02:31:05,240
Speaker 3: corralled in here, like I am okay, I'm good.

2982
02:31:05,400 --> 02:31:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Walmart really dystopian these days. Totally with you both

2983
02:31:10,160 --> 02:31:12,760
Speaker 1: in Brandon on avoiding too much news about Trump. I

2984
02:31:12,800 --> 02:31:15,360
Speaker 1: knew exactly what was coming. He told us and tried

2985
02:31:15,400 --> 02:31:17,760
Speaker 1: to warn people, but nobody wanted to listen because genocide

2986
02:31:17,760 --> 02:31:21,039
Speaker 1: and Biden's old et cetera. I did activism and organizing

2987
02:31:21,080 --> 02:31:23,040
Speaker 1: and put black people in transit to people first and

2988
02:31:23,400 --> 02:31:25,880
Speaker 1: all that for eight fucking years, and when it comes

2989
02:31:25,879 --> 02:31:28,920
Speaker 1: time to get information for Biden and then Kamala, people

2990
02:31:28,959 --> 02:31:31,400
Speaker 1: still wouldn't do it. Right, and now here we are.

2991
02:31:31,520 --> 02:31:34,360
Speaker 1: We have a life to rebuild and serious PTSD, so

2992
02:31:34,440 --> 02:31:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm not about to follow out a bullshit all day long,

2993
02:31:37,000 --> 02:31:39,440
Speaker 1: especially when now Trump is threatening the end FEMA and

2994
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:40,440
Speaker 1: potentially for.

2995
02:31:40,400 --> 02:31:42,520
Speaker 4: Wildfires that we could really use.

2996
02:31:42,600 --> 02:31:44,440
Speaker 1: As y'all have said so many times a time of

2997
02:31:44,480 --> 02:31:48,040
Speaker 1: resistance November twenty sixteen. Yes, and the paraphrase care that

2998
02:31:48,120 --> 02:31:50,480
Speaker 1: can all kiss my ass at this point. PS, you

2999
02:31:50,520 --> 02:31:54,120
Speaker 1: actually did know about red pandas though you may not

3000
02:31:54,200 --> 02:32:00,280
Speaker 1: have realized it or favorite disillusion Japanese office worker Kuko

3001
02:32:00,400 --> 02:32:04,320
Speaker 1: is a red panda. Yes, that's my jams. I forgot

3002
02:32:04,320 --> 02:32:06,440
Speaker 1: about that. Chairs and thanks for making us laugh at

3003
02:32:06,480 --> 02:32:09,240
Speaker 1: the time. We really needed that, John Yo, Man, I

3004
02:32:10,600 --> 02:32:14,800
Speaker 1: nothing but positive vibes to you. Man he recovery, I'm

3005
02:32:14,800 --> 02:32:17,280

3006
02:32:17,360 --> 02:32:19,680

3007
02:32:19,720 --> 02:32:22,879
Speaker 1: of fashion same and get on your feet. But man,

3008
02:32:22,959 --> 02:32:24,119
Speaker 1: that just sucks.

3009
02:32:24,320 --> 02:32:27,640
Speaker 3: Right, that just sucks in something like that, and nobody

3010
02:32:27,680 --> 02:32:31,360
Speaker 3: really thinks about that. But just rebuilding like that has

3011
02:32:31,400 --> 02:32:35,039
Speaker 3: got to be traumatizing. So I wish you best of luck.

3012

Speaker 3: I hope that you can process the process that you're

3013

02:33:39,000 --> 02:33:41,840
Speaker 1: similar to yours when Roe v. Wade was overturned and

3037
02:33:41,840 --> 02:33:44,080
Speaker 1: when Kamala Harris lost the election. I would have never

3038
02:33:44,120 --> 02:33:46,400
Speaker 1: thought I would have been have less rights as a

3039
02:33:46,440 --> 02:33:48,680
Speaker 1: woman my age now than I did when I was

3040
02:33:48,680 --> 02:33:51,920
Speaker 1: a damn teenager. Right, Karen, you mentioned some time ago

3041
02:33:51,959 --> 02:33:54,240
Speaker 1: that you had gone to college, you had just met up.

3042
02:33:54,600 --> 02:33:56,400
Speaker 1: You had when you had gone to college, you met

3043
02:33:56,440 --> 02:33:59,160
Speaker 1: up with some trinidaddy and students. I was like, my nigga,

3044
02:33:59,200 --> 02:34:01,640
Speaker 1: my mom is trying to and she always smiles and

3045
02:34:01,760 --> 02:34:03,600
Speaker 1: laughs when she hears your laugh and your jokes on

3046
02:34:03,600 --> 02:34:03,960
Speaker 1: the pot.

3047
02:34:04,800 --> 02:34:07,560
Speaker 4: First of all, that's me, not Karen. Okay.

3048
02:34:07,760 --> 02:34:10,760
Speaker 1: Karen Knewtom Trinidaddian students through me because I was in

3049
02:34:10,800 --> 02:34:17,680
Speaker 1: a suite with four Trinidaddian dudes. So that's how she

3050
02:34:17,879 --> 02:34:23,119
Speaker 1: met him, is through me living with them. But yeah,

3051
02:34:23,200 --> 02:34:27,400
Speaker 1: they you know, shout out to Trinidad and Tobago or

3052
02:34:27,400 --> 02:34:31,640
Speaker 1: Tobago Tobago. You know they be lying over there, okay,

3053
02:34:32,320 --> 02:34:35,440
Speaker 1: and they snap their fingers when they laugh. Roder carry

3054
02:34:35,520 --> 02:34:38,000
Speaker 1: your bravery for years I've kind of made myself small,

3055
02:34:38,040 --> 02:34:39,360
Speaker 1: and I kind of want to grow to be more

3056
02:34:39,440 --> 02:34:42,640
Speaker 1: like my true self, to be my full, uncomfortable, awkward,

3057
02:34:42,680 --> 02:34:45,440
Speaker 1: cringe but kind self. When you travel to New York

3058
02:34:45,440 --> 02:34:47,240
Speaker 1: to write for Game Theory, it really really moved me.

3059
02:34:47,320 --> 02:34:49,240
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to write for TV myself and do

3060
02:34:49,280 --> 02:34:52,080
Speaker 1: comedy writing, but I'm shy to an unbearable level. I

3061
02:34:52,120 --> 02:34:54,360
Speaker 1: want to give myself a chance, and I allow myself

3062
02:34:54,360 --> 02:34:56,480
Speaker 1: to do something as bold as to apply to write

3063
02:34:56,480 --> 02:34:57,320
Speaker 1: for a dope ass show.

3064
02:34:57,480 --> 02:34:58,920
Speaker 4: Just write something just for myself.

3065
02:35:01,040 --> 02:35:03,240
Speaker 1: You're holding yourself back if you on the last one

3066
02:35:03,280 --> 02:35:05,320
Speaker 1: writing something for yourself. You just gotta get out there

3067
02:35:05,320 --> 02:35:09,360
Speaker 1: and write it. That's It's really that simple. I'll tell you.

3068
02:35:09,560 --> 02:35:13,800
Speaker 1: Game Theory did wonders for me because I feel like,

3069
02:35:13,959 --> 02:35:17,240
Speaker 1: once you're in a room and you realize, like I

3070
02:35:17,240 --> 02:35:20,600
Speaker 1: can do this, no one in here is more special

3071
02:35:20,680 --> 02:35:24,360
Speaker 1: than me, you know. I think it helps. At least

3072
02:35:24,360 --> 02:35:26,920
Speaker 1: it helped for me because I was like, oh, I'm

3073
02:35:26,920 --> 02:35:28,880
Speaker 1: not a I don't need imposter syndrome.

3074
02:35:29,160 --> 02:35:30,439
Speaker 4: I met some imposters.

3075
02:35:30,480 --> 02:35:32,560
Speaker 1: Like every once while you meet somebody like this motherfucker

3076
02:35:32,600 --> 02:35:36,039
Speaker 1: don't know what they talking in his room, Like you know,

3077
02:35:36,280 --> 02:35:38,160
Speaker 1: that was not a thing that I had ever really

3078
02:35:38,160 --> 02:35:41,320
Speaker 1: truly experienced before. When it came to creativity stuff, it

3079
02:35:41,440 --> 02:35:43,840
Speaker 1: was like, this person is an expert. They've been doing

3080
02:35:43,840 --> 02:35:45,760
Speaker 1: this longer than me. Of course they know, of course

3081
02:35:45,800 --> 02:35:48,120
Speaker 1: they know. But the first few times that I pitched

3082
02:35:48,120 --> 02:35:51,000
Speaker 1: something where it was like somebody just didn't know what

3083
02:35:51,040 --> 02:35:53,119
Speaker 1: they were talking about. And then when other people heard

3084
02:35:53,120 --> 02:35:56,640
Speaker 1: the idea, it's like, nah, this is great. I was like, huh.

3085
02:35:56,760 --> 02:35:58,240
Speaker 1: It only took a few times of that from him.

3086
02:35:58,200 --> 02:35:59,480
Speaker 1: I was being like, oh no, I can do this.

3087
02:36:00,080 --> 02:36:03,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, but yeah, you should definitely write. Submitting is

3088
02:36:03,520 --> 02:36:05,600
Speaker 1: weird because you got to like know people, I still

3089
02:36:05,600 --> 02:36:08,600
Speaker 1: don't know how to submit, Like I had a job.

3090
02:36:08,840 --> 02:36:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how to get another one of these

3091
02:36:10,560 --> 02:36:13,200
Speaker 1: jobs now, if I'm being fair, I ain't pressed to

3092
02:36:13,280 --> 02:36:15,200
Speaker 1: have another one in these jobs. So maybe that's why

3093
02:36:15,200 --> 02:36:17,480
Speaker 1: I didn't. But like you got to have like an

3094
02:36:17,520 --> 02:36:19,560
Speaker 1: agent or some shit to know, like, hey, so and

3095
02:36:19,560 --> 02:36:21,920
Speaker 1: so's taking submissions and this is where you send it. Yes,

3096
02:36:21,959 --> 02:36:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, and.

3097
02:36:22,560 --> 02:36:24,520
Speaker 3: People will be like, hey, rod you okay, Like people

3098
02:36:24,520 --> 02:36:26,119
Speaker 3: have asked Roger been like I'm good.

3099
02:36:26,720 --> 02:36:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they but they're asking just to see if

3100
02:36:29,160 --> 02:36:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm okay. They're not hitting me up, like, hey, I

3101
02:36:31,160 --> 02:36:33,119
Speaker 1: heard you look for a job. I don't know what

3102
02:36:33,200 --> 02:36:35,599
Speaker 1: to do to get I think you need an agent.

3103
02:36:35,360 --> 02:36:37,320
Speaker 3: To do the job part right, because they're the ones

3104
02:36:37,360 --> 02:36:38,800
Speaker 3: that actually had to edge to the ground.

3105
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm guessing. Plus they get twenty percent some shit, yeah

3106
02:36:42,640 --> 02:36:44,720
Speaker 1: f five eight percent. I don't know the percent, but they

3107
02:36:44,720 --> 02:36:47,320
Speaker 1: get a percent, so of course they want your ass

3108
02:36:47,320 --> 02:36:50,480
Speaker 1: working on this election. Man, what do I start you?

3109

02:37:16,640 --> 02:37:18,879

Speaker 1: buy some coffee that I don't plan on drinking. That's crazy,

3137
02:38:10,520 --> 02:38:12,640
Speaker 1: But this motherfucker is about the ruined lives. We're still

3138
02:38:12,680 --> 02:38:14,800
Speaker 1: so sad and angry because this is preventable. People are

3139
02:38:14,840 --> 02:38:17,240
Speaker 1: still asking them what they're gonna do, Like, please start

3140
02:38:17,280 --> 02:38:19,920
Speaker 1: asking a party that has on three branches, they can't

3141
02:38:19,920 --> 02:38:22,280
Speaker 1: do shit. I may not know everything about civics, but

3142
02:38:22,320 --> 02:38:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a dummy populist cap them at the knees.

3143
02:38:25,040 --> 02:38:27,280
Speaker 4: They cannot help you. They can only sue in courts.

3144
02:38:27,320 --> 02:38:30,119
Speaker 1: People are still saying how Democrats are helping because they

3145
02:38:30,160 --> 02:38:31,879
Speaker 1: want it to be bad so they could swoop in

3146
02:38:32,000 --> 02:38:34,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. Please be fucking for real. They know

3147
02:38:34,920 --> 02:38:37,320
Speaker 1: Repubs won't listen, and that's why they are still going

3148
02:38:37,320 --> 02:38:40,360
Speaker 1: to the them meetings and screaming at them about climate change.

3149
02:38:40,400 --> 02:38:43,520
Speaker 1: It's important, But look around you, please be serious. We're

3150
02:38:43,560 --> 02:38:46,280
Speaker 1: being destabilized to cut off from ally countries. You're yelling

3151
02:38:46,320 --> 02:38:48,520
Speaker 1: at the wrong people about the wrong stuff. Am I crazy?

3152
02:38:49,600 --> 02:38:50,520
Speaker 1: That's what I'm seeing.

3153
02:38:50,720 --> 02:38:52,920
Speaker 5: You're not crazy at all.

3154
02:38:53,280 --> 02:38:55,960
Speaker 3: And then you know when you look at them, particularly

3155
02:38:55,959 --> 02:38:58,000
Speaker 3: people that on this stream lift and a dog, you're

3156
02:38:58,040 --> 02:39:02,039
Speaker 3: the lunatic. And also I said this on the show

3157
02:39:02,120 --> 02:39:04,080
Speaker 3: with you and Justin, and I will say it here.

3158
02:39:04,800 --> 02:39:07,480
Speaker 3: I am to the fact of I don't mean no harm,

3159
02:39:07,720 --> 02:39:09,920
Speaker 3: don't care about your complaining, don't care about your wine,

3160
02:39:09,959 --> 02:39:10,600
Speaker 3: and go through.

3161
02:39:10,440 --> 02:39:11,760
Speaker 1: All your stages of grief.

3162
02:39:12,280 --> 02:39:14,280
Speaker 3: Deal with this however you want to deal with this.

3163
02:39:14,440 --> 02:39:16,280
Speaker 3: My question is what are you gonna do two years

3164
02:39:16,280 --> 02:39:18,879
Speaker 3: from now? Are you gonna sit out again? Are you

3165
02:39:18,920 --> 02:39:20,920
Speaker 3: going to vote? Are you gonna do something about it.

3166
02:39:21,440 --> 02:39:23,560
Speaker 3: And you know, for the people on the right, I

3167
02:39:23,560 --> 02:39:28,039
Speaker 3: feel like this. I don't care about them either. And

3168
02:39:28,080 --> 02:39:31,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, dog, whenever it gets bad enough that

3169
02:39:31,560 --> 02:39:36,240
Speaker 3: the white supremacy is not as big on your agenda versus,

3170
02:39:36,280 --> 02:39:39,800
Speaker 3: can I eat and we on the same page, then

3171
02:39:39,800 --> 02:39:42,040
Speaker 3: we can vote and get shit done, because I know

3172
02:39:42,120 --> 02:39:44,640
Speaker 3: that those people will never do anything out of the

3173
02:39:44,720 --> 02:39:45,560
Speaker 3: kindness of their heart.

3174
02:39:45,640 --> 02:39:46,959
Speaker 1: That out the goodness of their heart.

3175
02:39:47,280 --> 02:39:50,480
Speaker 3: Their condition and their situation has to be so bad

3176
02:39:50,520 --> 02:39:54,000
Speaker 3: and so dire that they have to let their racism go.

3177
02:39:54,520 --> 02:39:57,560
Speaker 3: And so for me, I'm like, Okay, cool, and it's sad,

3178
02:39:57,600 --> 02:39:59,640
Speaker 3: but I'm like, I'm waiting for that moment to come,

3179
02:39:59,720 --> 02:40:03,560
Speaker 3: because honestly, the way people are responding, the way people

3180
02:40:03,600 --> 02:40:06,680
Speaker 3: didn't learn, the way people are regurgitating the same thing

3181
02:40:06,800 --> 02:40:09,480
Speaker 3: over and over again, the way people aren't listening to

3182
02:40:09,520 --> 02:40:12,120
Speaker 3: each other, the way people have no compassion for one another,

3183
02:40:12,760 --> 02:40:15,800
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, y'all, the house is already on fire.

3184
02:40:15,879 --> 02:40:18,160
Speaker 3: It's literally gonna have to burn to the ground before

3185
02:40:18,640 --> 02:40:21,760
Speaker 3: everybody quit blaming one another. And look at the problem,

3186
02:40:21,840 --> 02:40:24,520
Speaker 3: which is Trump and the administration and the Republicans to

3187
02:40:24,560 --> 02:40:26,480
Speaker 3: be like get them at an office until that point

3188
02:40:26,480 --> 02:40:28,680
Speaker 3: in time, until you.

3189
02:40:28,720 --> 02:40:29,760
Speaker 1: Really are serious.

3190
02:40:29,800 --> 02:40:32,000
Speaker 3: Two years from now, it's going to tell not four

3191
02:40:32,080 --> 02:40:33,840
Speaker 3: years from now, two years from now when it's time

3192
02:40:33,879 --> 02:40:36,120
Speaker 3: to vote again. So are you just talking and or

3193
02:40:36,160 --> 02:40:40,320
Speaker 3: planning across the internet with pointless phrases and words and

3194
02:40:40,360 --> 02:40:43,320
Speaker 3: you don't plan on doing anything? Or are you going

3195
02:40:43,400 --> 02:40:44,920
Speaker 3: to do something? Because a lot of these people that

3196
02:40:44,920 --> 02:40:46,879
Speaker 3: were complaining they didn't put five on it.

3197
02:40:46,920 --> 02:40:47,480
Speaker 1: They refused.

3198
02:40:47,560 --> 02:40:50,800
Speaker 3: Nineteen million people, nineteen million people were less voted. So

3199
02:40:50,840 --> 02:40:53,920
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, you didn't vote. I don't want

3200
02:40:53,959 --> 02:40:56,400
Speaker 3: to hear what you have to say. It's like if

3201
02:40:56,400 --> 02:40:59,440
Speaker 3: we got a pizza and everybody put five on it.

3202
02:40:59,560 --> 02:41:01,480
Speaker 3: You didn't put five on it, but you got the

3203
02:41:01,560 --> 02:41:04,000
Speaker 3: most fucking opinions. Bitch, you don't even get to choose

3204
02:41:04,040 --> 02:41:05,960
Speaker 3: to eat pizza. You didn't even put it on this.

3205
02:41:06,000 --> 02:41:08,160
Speaker 3: I don't care about what you have to say, you know.

3206
02:41:08,320 --> 02:41:10,560
Speaker 3: So I am really to that point. I'm like for

3207
02:41:10,680 --> 02:41:12,600
Speaker 3: me to kind of come a lot of the things

3208
02:41:12,640 --> 02:41:16,199
Speaker 3: that have on in my brain. I'm like, Okay, yes, cry, yes, scream,

3209
02:41:16,360 --> 02:41:19,080
Speaker 3: be upset, be depressed, go through the Stage's the grief.

3210
02:41:19,640 --> 02:41:22,960
Speaker 3: The problem is there's nothing that we as the populace,

3211
02:41:23,040 --> 02:41:24,640
Speaker 3: can do until two years from now.

3212
02:41:25,800 --> 02:41:27,480
Speaker 1: And that's if we get to vote to years from now.

3213
02:41:28,560 --> 02:41:30,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, another plane crash. Okay, that's a hell

3214
02:41:30,840 --> 02:41:33,879
Speaker 1: of a transition. They got the dummy and the O

3215
02:41:34,040 --> 02:41:37,440
Speaker 1: office frivolous signing frivolous eos, while Elon Musk raised the

3216
02:41:37,480 --> 02:41:39,960
Speaker 1: Social Security and Medicare officers to get in the systems

3217
02:41:39,959 --> 02:41:43,960
Speaker 1: that hold trillions. People don't realize we're in trouble. Ps.

3218
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:46,760
Speaker 1: Did y'all see that ad about undocumented immigrants that the

3219
02:41:46,760 --> 02:41:50,000
Speaker 1: White House posted? It was about Selena Gomez crying for migrants.

3220
02:41:50,240 --> 02:41:52,600
Speaker 1: They had the victim families in there asking why is

3221
02:41:52,640 --> 02:41:55,879
Speaker 1: it she crying for them? When I tell you I

3222
02:41:56,000 --> 02:41:58,199
Speaker 1: was shocked, I keep thinking the bar can't get lower,

3223
02:41:58,280 --> 02:42:00,720
Speaker 1: But it can. I know I'll need a new journal

3224
02:42:00,760 --> 02:42:02,920
Speaker 1: for the year. I can't keep up with all this crap.

3225
02:42:03,000 --> 02:42:06,119
Speaker 1: You'll be saying, stock up on your face, Steph. Yeah,

3226
02:42:06,160 --> 02:42:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I you do sound shocked, and I think

3227
02:42:10,440 --> 02:42:15,520
Speaker 1: what's happening in shocking. I don't think you're crazy at all. Yeah,

3228
02:42:15,680 --> 02:42:19,920
Speaker 1: I just I guess I'm not shocked. Maybe I just

3229
02:42:19,959 --> 02:42:22,199
Speaker 1: had a much I just had a very low opinion,

3230
02:42:22,240 --> 02:42:25,720
Speaker 1: and as things are happening, there are things that I

3231
02:42:25,760 --> 02:42:28,439
Speaker 1: thought would happen. I don't even I wish I could.

3232
02:42:29,879 --> 02:42:33,200
Speaker 1: I wish I could share in your shock, just so

3233
02:42:33,280 --> 02:42:36,040
Speaker 1: that you won't because I'm sure writing in you want

3234
02:42:36,120 --> 02:42:38,120
Speaker 1: us to feel some level of something, or maybe you

3235
02:42:38,160 --> 02:42:42,000
Speaker 1: want to hear some calming things. I don't have any inspirational,

3236
02:42:42,000 --> 02:42:44,400
Speaker 1: calming things to say to you. I think this is

3237
02:42:44,440 --> 02:42:47,560
Speaker 1: exactly what I thought would unfold, and in the order

3238
02:42:47,600 --> 02:42:50,040
Speaker 1: that it's unfolding, and I just think it's gonna get

3239
02:42:50,040 --> 02:42:52,960
Speaker 1: a lot worse than this. So hold on to your

3240
02:42:53,000 --> 02:42:55,840
Speaker 1: hat if you can, because this shit is bad.

3241
02:42:56,440 --> 02:42:58,840
Speaker 3: And I will continue to say it didn't have to

3242
02:42:58,879 --> 02:43:01,720
Speaker 3: be this way. Yeah, yeah, And I will continue to

3243
02:43:01,760 --> 02:43:04,680
Speaker 3: say that everything that's happening, I'm looking at other people

3244
02:43:04,720 --> 02:43:06,160
Speaker 3: and say, it didn't have to be this way. All

3245
02:43:06,240 --> 02:43:08,440
Speaker 3: these people complained about shit that didn't matter. It didn't

3246
02:43:08,440 --> 02:43:10,480
Speaker 3: have to be this way. All these people that needed

3247
02:43:10,480 --> 02:43:12,760
Speaker 3: a reason for this and a reason for that, and

3248
02:43:12,800 --> 02:43:14,720
Speaker 3: why they wouldn't vote the Democrats. It didn't have to

3249
02:43:14,720 --> 02:43:16,199
Speaker 3: be this way because at the end of the day,

3250
02:43:16,560 --> 02:43:18,960
Speaker 3: the vote, the people that voted are the people that matter,

3251
02:43:19,080 --> 02:43:21,760
Speaker 3: and they and this is what they decided to do.

3252
02:43:22,240 --> 02:43:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, I just don't feel like repeating myself every day.

3253
02:43:28,080 --> 02:43:30,400
Speaker 1: Y'all know how we felt, and y'all know how we feel.

3254
02:43:31,040 --> 02:43:34,600
Speaker 1: It's just at some point for my own sanity, y'all

3255
02:43:34,600 --> 02:43:36,160
Speaker 1: don't want to be on this show. I know it

3256
02:43:36,160 --> 02:43:40,280
Speaker 1: gives people a feeling of like, oh, they're ranting or emotionally,

3257
02:43:40,320 --> 02:43:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm connecting with the fact that you're as upset as

3258
02:43:42,520 --> 02:43:45,080
Speaker 1: I am. But I don't want to do a show

3259
02:43:45,120 --> 02:43:47,280
Speaker 1: where I have to be upset five days a week.

3260
02:43:47,400 --> 02:43:49,520
Speaker 4: This shows to communicate that.

3261
02:43:49,760 --> 02:43:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll come up throughout the years as we

3262
02:43:52,760 --> 02:43:58,320
Speaker 1: talk anyway, Right, but just like even just like keep

3263
02:43:58,400 --> 02:44:00,960
Speaker 1: up with the news to the second plane crash and

3264
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:07,120
Speaker 1: it's Trump fault. Yeah, that was not above to me.

3265
02:44:07,920 --> 02:44:12,000
Speaker 1: That is not anywhere close to out of the realm

3266
02:44:12,040 --> 02:44:14,160
Speaker 1: of what I thought would happen if he came into office.

3267
02:44:14,520 --> 02:44:16,119
Speaker 4: And I know it's like a plane crash.

3268
02:44:16,120 --> 02:44:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I thought specifically a plane crash, but

3269
02:44:19,280 --> 02:44:20,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of shit like that when

3270
02:44:20,920 --> 02:44:23,400
Speaker 1: you when you do the things that they him and

3271
02:44:23,480 --> 02:44:25,600
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and these people said they want to enact.

3272
02:44:25,720 --> 02:44:29,240
Speaker 3: Right about saying Mary brought up a thing, and I

3273
02:44:29,280 --> 02:44:33,119
Speaker 3: said this when Biden was in office. I like boring

3274
02:44:33,560 --> 02:44:36,440
Speaker 3: because I think when Biden was in office, people had

3275
02:44:36,440 --> 02:44:38,800
Speaker 3: a tendency to forget how chaotic Trump because you know,

3276
02:44:38,879 --> 02:44:40,800
Speaker 3: like I say, mind of a goldfish. I was like,

3277
02:44:40,920 --> 02:44:43,600
Speaker 3: I like having a competent president. I like just being

3278
02:44:43,640 --> 02:44:45,400
Speaker 3: able to live my life and not worry about the

3279
02:44:45,480 --> 02:44:48,560
Speaker 3: ship on fire. Like I enjoyed this, Like I don't

3280
02:44:48,560 --> 02:44:52,200
Speaker 3: have to have this excitement these things constantly happening around me,

3281
02:44:52,760 --> 02:44:53,320
Speaker 3: still alive.

3282
02:44:53,400 --> 02:44:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. This isn't the third act of a

3283
02:44:55,200 --> 02:44:58,480
Speaker 1: Star Wars movie. You're not voting is a civic duty.

3284
02:44:58,480 --> 02:45:01,080
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to feel like a hero. But these

3285
02:45:01,080 --> 02:45:03,480
Speaker 1: motherfuckers need to feel like heroes. They got a hero complex.

3286
02:45:03,520 --> 02:45:06,840
Speaker 1: They need to see us down bad before well not everybody,

3287
02:45:06,879 --> 02:45:09,800
Speaker 1: but at least nineteen million people feel like they got

3288
02:45:09,800 --> 02:45:12,360
Speaker 1: to see us down bad before they can get the

3289
02:45:12,400 --> 02:45:14,800
Speaker 1: credit for rally and like it's fucking D Day or

3290
02:45:14,800 --> 02:45:17,440
Speaker 1: some shit like y'all are storming the beaches of Normandy

3291
02:45:17,480 --> 02:45:20,199
Speaker 1: when it's like, anotherfucker, it's just your job as a citizens,

3292
02:45:20,240 --> 02:45:22,480
Speaker 1: just go vote. I wasn't asked for a pat on

3293
02:45:22,520 --> 02:45:25,120
Speaker 1: the back for voting, and I wasn't gonna pat you

3294
02:45:25,200 --> 02:45:27,120
Speaker 1: on the back for voting. Maybe that's the problem.

3295
02:45:27,280 --> 02:45:29,800
Speaker 3: Everybody need they digs up right, and voting is not

3296
02:45:29,840 --> 02:45:31,879
Speaker 3: something that's supposed to fucking make me feel good.

3297
02:45:31,920 --> 02:45:34,960
Speaker 1: And too many people, well, I know, I won't say

3298
02:45:34,959 --> 02:45:37,320
Speaker 1: that I feel good when I vote, but it's just not.

3299
02:45:38,520 --> 02:45:41,000
Speaker 1: It's just there's a certain type of person that wants

3300
02:45:41,040 --> 02:45:44,200
Speaker 1: to be a hero for it, like I saved the country, yes,

3301
02:45:44,360 --> 02:45:46,640
Speaker 1: and clearly that's what the fuck nineteen million people was

3302
02:45:46,680 --> 02:45:49,360
Speaker 1: waiting on. It's like some I saved the country shit,

3303
02:45:49,400 --> 02:45:52,240
Speaker 1: And now they're yelling at democrats like do something, and

3304
02:45:52,280 --> 02:45:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, you are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.

3305
02:45:56,040 --> 02:45:58,320
Speaker 4: You can't do something when you're not in power.

3306
02:45:58,840 --> 02:46:03,080
Speaker 1: And maybe y'all guys feel better when these democrats like

3307
02:46:03,200 --> 02:46:06,000
Speaker 1: AOC or somebody does our Instagram live and they're upset

3308
02:46:06,000 --> 02:46:08,720
Speaker 1: and they're yelling. But just like how I don't feel

3309
02:46:08,760 --> 02:46:11,880
Speaker 1: like yelling just because Steph was filling panic in the

3310
02:46:11,959 --> 02:46:14,800
Speaker 1: last email, I don't see why these motherfuckers should be

3311
02:46:14,879 --> 02:46:18,000
Speaker 1: doing it either. That's not gonna save us. Everyone needs

3312
02:46:18,040 --> 02:46:22,000
Speaker 1: to grow the fuck up. And except that with a smooth, calm,

3313
02:46:22,240 --> 02:46:27,879
Speaker 1: rational mind and some motherfucking fortitude. We can get through

3314
02:46:27,920 --> 02:46:32,080
Speaker 1: shit together. But that's it, not not they don't have

3315
02:46:32,160 --> 02:46:34,640
Speaker 1: to be a party all the time. Right. Sometimes it's

3316
02:46:34,680 --> 02:46:38,800
Speaker 1: just like, no, I have resolve, and resolve is I'm

3317
02:46:38,800 --> 02:46:40,480
Speaker 1: not going to just hand this country over.

3318
02:46:40,600 --> 02:46:42,400
Speaker 4: But you did what we did.

3319
02:46:42,400 --> 02:46:43,800
Speaker 5: Right, And it also is one of those things.

3320
02:46:43,840 --> 02:46:45,280
Speaker 3: I do what you get it when I mean it

3321
02:46:45,320 --> 02:46:46,959
Speaker 3: don't have to make me feel good, like like like

3322
02:46:47,000 --> 02:46:48,120
Speaker 3: you said, I don't need a pad on the back.

3323
02:46:48,160 --> 02:46:49,400
Speaker 3: I don't need a cookie. I just need to be

3324
02:46:49,400 --> 02:46:50,800
Speaker 3: able to just go and say this is what I

3325
02:46:50,840 --> 02:46:52,520
Speaker 3: need to do, like like I don't I don't need

3326
02:46:52,520 --> 02:46:54,200
Speaker 3: a star. I don't need to like like I don't

3327
02:46:54,240 --> 02:46:56,720
Speaker 3: need I like Okay, I like.

3328
02:46:56,720 --> 02:47:00,879
Speaker 1: The stickers, so I do need that. If I go voting,

3329
02:47:00,959 --> 02:47:03,080
Speaker 1: I'll get that stick It's gonna be a motherfucking problem.

3330
02:47:03,160 --> 02:47:04,400
Speaker 1: So I can't agree with.

3331
02:47:04,360 --> 02:47:06,880
Speaker 5: You take that personal, len it's a personal attack.

3332
02:47:07,040 --> 02:47:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it means something. I'm gonna take that picture after

3333
02:47:10,120 --> 02:47:13,680
Speaker 1: two every time. Me too. I like that feeling voting

3334
02:47:13,720 --> 02:47:16,360
Speaker 1: feels good to me. It's not so's I'm not even

3335
02:47:16,400 --> 02:47:19,040
