Let's talk 122 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 6: about Congress down. They got three days to make a deal. 123 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 9: Three day used to make a deal. Unfortunately, you have 124 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 9: seen this repeat over and over and over, and they 125 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 9: still do not have a plan. Now the government funds 126 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 9: run out at twelve oh one Eastern Sunday. Now Democrats 127 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 9: are presenting a night of front. But the problem is 128 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 9: on the Republican side, there's some internal fighting. They're calling 129 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 9: it a Republican civil war because some conservatives House Republicans 130 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 9: are pushing for deep spending cuts, even threatening to Speaker 131 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 9: Kevin McCarthy. You may remember, for those who follow this, 132 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 9: in the very beginning, when speaking McCarthy was put in 133 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 9: his seat, they had told him, you know, basically they 134 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 9: would ask him if he got too cozy with Democrats. 135 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 9: And so they are definitely making that threat again, saying 136 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 9: that if he makes a deal, they will certainly be 137 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 9: trying to remove him from his seat. He was asked 138 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 9: how he felt about it. Take a listen to his response. 139 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 4: How much of the fact that if you do cut 140 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: a deal with Democrats there could be a vote to 141 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 4: push you out. 142 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: How much is that driving your decision making? 143 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: Right? Nothing, he drives my decision. If that was driving 144 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: my decision, when that driven my decision making fifteen times before? 145 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 9: Mind, you could deal with Democrats and that could be 146 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 9: the end of it. 147 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: Did I cut a deal? 148 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 10: Then? 149 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: Did I cut a deal? Then when I went up? 150 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: Fifteen round? I'm talking about right now, but let me 151 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: let me explain them to you. I'm no different than 152 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: I was then or before. My whole focus, what's in 153 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: my mind, what drives me is the American people. Ye're right, 154 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: worried if someone makes emotion. I'm not worried if somebody votes, know, 155 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: it's it damn shame that these folks are willing to 156 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: let the government shut down for political reasons. I don't 157 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 1: believe they'll let it happen. 158 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 7: But it's just just the fact they're willing to do 159 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 7: a show that none of these people are really as 160 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 7: America first as they claim to be claiming to be 161 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 7: about the American people. 162 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, right, and he's lying talking about you know, I'm 163 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 9: not going to do anything because I'm worried about the people. 164 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 9: Because actually the impeachment hearing, I wish you'll talk about 165 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 9: it in the second hour. Was absolutely done because they 166 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 9: told him he needed to do it or he would 167 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 9: lose his position. So uh, you know we always say 168 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 9: this on the Republican side, they push a hard line. 169 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 9: So yeah, there's just a few of them and they're 170 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 9: really really holding the line to say you do this 171 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 9: or else.

Like, there's so many different reasons. 493 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, some people don't need credit for the drama they 494 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 7: stir up. They just like to, you know, stir it up, 495 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 7: set things on fire, and walk away. 496 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 4: And well, I think this situation was on fire from 497 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 4: the minute that the voice papers were filed.

Okay, So you guys, remember home tyres 578 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 4: came out and said that Home Depot was racist, and 579 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 4: he filed a one million dollar racial profiling and discrimination lawsuit. 580 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 4: So Home Depot has now responded in legal docs, and 581 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 4: Home Depot is saying that Tyrese made a series of 582 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 4: false and misleading claims in that womanion dollar racial profiling 583 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 4: and discrimination lawsuit that he felt that month. They're saying 584 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 4: that the company has surveillance footage from the incident that 585 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 4: contradicts a number of claims that Tyrese made. So the 586 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 4: first claim is saying that the footage actually shows him 587 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 4: at the counter he had, I guess, began to ring 588 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 4: up his stuff. He then went back to shop for 589 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 4: more stuff and then returned twenty five minutes later. So 590 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 4: that's why all of his items were cleared from the 591 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 4: checkout area, and they also said that the cashier avoided 592 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 4: the items that were being presented because they wanted to 593 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 4: help other customers in his absence. You know how that goes, 594 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 4: Like when you're shopping for stuff, they can't like hold 595 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 4: the line up for too long. They said that he 596 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 4: was going for twenty five minutes, so they had to 597 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 4: do that. They move on. They also say that this 598 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 4: was that Tyrese was very misleading by this in his 599 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 4: complaint that a computer glitch caused the transaction to the delay. 600 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 4: So basically they're saying everything that he claimed was not true. 601 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 4: So the computer glitch, why the items were clear from 602 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 4: the front, the I guess the amount of time he 603 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 4: took to leave and come back to the register. 604 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: Basically home people say, you ain't getting this four hundred 605 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars you're suing for. That's what they're 606 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: trying to say. 607 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, but with stuff like this, I understand that you 608 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 4: base it off a fact right when you're trying to 609 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: signe in court. But if he felt that way, how 610 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 4: do you tell him that, no, you can't feel that. 611 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 7: I mean, that's why he's following the lossuit. Yeah, that's 612 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 7: why you got it. They're saying they're signing court, so 613 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 7: now you got to prove his side in court. 614 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 2: That's all. 615 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 4: But one of these people is going to win, right, 616 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 4: And it doesn't sound like they're fighting back hard. So 617 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 4: I don't know if it'll be him, but he still 618 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 4: feels that way. You know, really, you ever walked in 619 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: the store and felt like something happened to you and 620 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 4: then you're like, did it or did it not? 621 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 7: You got to make sure it's just not your feelings. 622 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 7: But you know what, I want to see Tyree with 623 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 7: four hundred and fifty million dollars.

Let's talk about the first impeachment. 673 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 9: Yeah, the first impeachment hearing was no information on President 674 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 9: Joe Biden. They started this yesterday, the Star Witnesses test 675 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 9: to find that they lacked proof that he committed an 676 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 9: impeachable offense. Again, didn't bring any information about his conduct 677 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 9: or any support for Republicans, accusations that he entered into 678 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 9: corrupt overseas business deals, and Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett had 679 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 9: a word about it. 680 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: Let's take a listen. 681 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 16: When we're talking about somebody that's committed high crimes, it's 682 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 16: at least indictments. Let's say, thirty two counts related to 683 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 16: unauthorized retention of national security secrets, seven counts related to 684 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 16: obstructing the investigation, three false statements, one count of conspiracy 685 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 16: to the fraud of the United States, falsifying business workers, 686 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 16: conspiracy to the fraud of the United States, two counts 687 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 16: related to efforts to obstruct the vote certification proceedings, one 688 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 16: count of conspiracy to violate civil rights, twenty three counts 689 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 16: related to forgery or false document statements, eight counts related 690 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 16: to solictening. And I could go on, because he's got 691 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 16: ninety one counts depended right now. But I will tell 692 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 16: you what the president has been guilty of. He has 693 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 16: unfortunately been guilty of loving his child unconditionally. And that 694 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 16: is the only evidence that they have brought forward until 695 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 16: they find some evidence. We need to get back to 696 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 16: the people's work, which means keeping this government open so 697 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 16: that people don't go hungry in the streets of the 698 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 16: United States. 699 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: And I will yield. Charlemagne. I guess you told them. Yeah, 700 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: she sounds like, what the hell you're talking about. 701 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 9: I like her, Well, she told him what time it 702 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 9: was when she talks about you know, how we need 703 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 9: to be focused on what is happening in this government shutdown. 704 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 9: She is absolutely right where the focus should be. I'd 705 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 9: have mentioned this last hour, but I wanted to just 706 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 9: kind of throw that in so people can know the 707 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 9: severity of what we're talking about the shutdown. FEMA is 708 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 9: actually cutting disaster Aid right now, you know, as they're 709 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 9: preparing for this shutdown, the cutting about eight billion dollars. 710 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 9: So there's a disaster and folks need help, you know 711 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 9: that emergency help. It's going to hit different when you 712 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 9: don't have the money. We also talked about earlier in 713 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 9: the week when I covered the story what actually happens 714 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 9: with the shutdown. So we're talking about furloughing employees, employees 715 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 9: not being paid, having to get paid on the back end, 716 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 9: some will never get paid at all if they're not 717 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 9: essential employees. And we're talking about jobs possibly being cut 718 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 9: as well. So the shutdown is a real thing. It 719 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 9: does affect the American people. That trickles down, especially when 720 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 9: we're talking about removing a lot of those programs. So 721 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 9: this is a real thing that people shouldn't paying attention 722 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 9: to this weekend, and I will have an update on Monday. 723 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean nothing about this government. Shutdow says, I 724 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 7: care about people. You are not saying you care about 725 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 7: the American people if you are willing to let this 726 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 7: happen in any way, shape or form, especially. 727 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 4: Doing right now when every inflation and all that stuff. 728 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 4: And I have a friend. When we reported this earlier 729 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 4: this week test we talked about it, one of my 730 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 4: friends reached out to me and she was talking to 731 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 4: me about what she's going through. She's preparing for and 732 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 4: she is not going to be paid. She has a son, 733 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 4: she has a home, like you know what I mean, 734 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 4: And she's literally preparing to go without pay and will 735 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 4: still have to work. 736 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, And see that's that's the key. 737 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 9: You'll want people to know, like that some of these 738 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 9: people will not be paid but still have to work, 739 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 9: you know. So imagine that. Yeah, imagine that, you know, 740 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 9: just going in every week and still you know, having 741 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 9: having to wait on your check. 742 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: So that's that that doesn't feel good at all. 743 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Well, now let's jump into Donald Trump. What's going 744 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: on with Donald Trump? 745 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, just want to give a quick update on the 746 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 9: Trump racketeering case in Georgia that we've been covering here 747 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 9: on Front Page News. A decision was made after Mark Meadows, 748 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 9: his former chief of staff, tried to get his case 749 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 9: because remember it's several of them that are on trial 750 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 9: or will be on trial. He tried to get his 751 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 9: case more to the federal court. So once trump attorney 752 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 9: seeing that that did not work, then now they said 753 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 9: they're just going to go ahead and let it stay 754 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 9: in the state court in Atlanta. A lot of people 755 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 9: were shocked about this because he was really pushing for 756 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 9: the federal uh, for this to be a federal case. 757 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 9: You may wonder why it is because federal probably would 758 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 9: have again just assumption, would have benefited him more once 759 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 9: it would won. It would not have been televised. And 760 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 9: two they believe he would have had a possibility for 761 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 9: a better jury. But now they're saying, hey, we're going 762 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 9: to keep it in state court and it will be 763 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 9: televised unlike in federal court, which I think is a 764 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 9: good thing. So maybe Trump's folks think is a good 765 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 9: thing now as well. His attorney said the decision is 766 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 9: based on his well founded confidence that the Honorable Court 767 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 9: intends to fulfill and completely protect his constitutional right to 768 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 9: a fair trial.

He was the 783 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 7: executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice. He loves the fact that 784 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 7: there's gonna be cameras in the courtroom. Of course, it's 785 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 7: gonna benefit him one hundred percent. 786 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 9: The Democrats will love it because they said, let's lay 787 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 9: it out and look at all the evidence to let 788 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 9: the people decide, you know, if it's a good case 789 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 9: or not. 790 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 1: So because nobody cares about facts in this generation.

It's one hundred 836 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 2: years from now and basically their powers start to sprout 837 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 2: and it's connected to their heritage, but they don't know 838 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 2: that because they weren't told by their parents, so they 839 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 2: you know, adolescence is an awkward It was an awkward 840 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 2: age for all of us. You're trying to figure stuff out, 841 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: and then you throw that on their table and then 842 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 2: the reckoning they realize what their abilities are and then 843 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 2: it's a discussion of what are they going to do 844 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 2: with them? You know, are they going to use them 845 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 2: for good or bad? 846 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 6: Now for people that don't know you up here before 847 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 6: talking about it, where did this idea even come from? 848 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 2: It came from me. I had the idea for a 849 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 2: long time, for about fifteen years. We live in such 850 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 2: a tumultuous world. Man, it just seems just so chaotic. 851 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 2: And one day I was just thinking to myself, like, 852 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: what if love itself was illegal? Like what if it 853 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 2: was illegal to love? And then what if love was 854 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 2: reborn through this thirteen year old kid who doesn't know 855 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 2: he's love. So that's sort of the essence of what 856 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 2: I was trying to capture. And then as I started 857 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 2: to think more about it and unearthed, you know, it 858 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 2: became this cast of these three teenagers. You know, I 859 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 2: was picturing We always think about these cataclysms in the world. 860 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 2: It's changing, and I'm like, well, there's going to be 861 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 2: life after that. There's some forms of what does that 862 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 2: look like? Because for those kids in one hundred years 863 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 2: from now, whatever's happening for that generation will be normal 864 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 2: to them because that'll be the only world they know, right, 865 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 2: so they're dealing with it accordingly. And Okay, so this 866 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 2: technology is going to be like past what we can fathom. Now, 867 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 2: what does that look like? And then I think there'll 868 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 2: be a rudimentary element because the basic necessities of human life. 869 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 2: It's like food, clothes, and shelter. 870 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: That's never gonna go away. 871 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 2: So there's always gonna be like, yeah, you're super high tech, 872 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 2: but I'm over here analoging it and killing it. And 873 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: so what happens when those worlds meet? And then what 874 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 2: are the human themes that seem to transcend time? So 875 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 2: though Nubia takes place in the future, a lot of 876 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 2: the themes that we explore, if you go one hundred 877 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 2: years prior to now and one hundred years before that, 878 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 2: you still were dealing with classes and racism, sexist or 879 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 2: all of them isms they and so what I'm trying 880 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 2: to do, part of what I'm trying to do with 881 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 2: the book is leave a breadcrumb trail for the now 882 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 2: generation to say, hey, we did it for a long 883 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 2: time a certain way, and we still keep getting the 884 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 2: same results. So maybe you guys can flip that moving 885 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 2: forward so that we can progress and get better. 886 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,439 Speaker 4: What isms like? You talk a lot about the isms. 887 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 4: What is specifically in this book? 888 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 2: Do you tackle classism? I mean we tackle even immigration 889 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 2: to a point, definitely racism, sexism. Because the Nubians are 890 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 2: displaced people. Their island nation was destroyed or so they think, 891 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 2: stay tuned, and so they're in a new well, what 892 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 2: I'm calling a new New York and they are sort 893 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 2: of the have nots, and so the people who were 894 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 2: here and the color has nothing to do with it. 895 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 2: They're just sort of native New Yorkers. I guess, you know, 896 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 2: they feel a way about, well, who are these new people? 897 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 2: And then as the power starts the spout, they're like, 898 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 2: who are these new kids? And why do they have 899 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 2: a seated our table? You know, just how society seems 900 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 2: to be, which is it's always been perplexing to me 901 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 2: because I look at life like this. If a rock 902 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 2: big enough hisses planet, it ain't gonna matter. If you 903 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 2: got a million dollars or a dollar. Everybody gonna be 904 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 2: in the same boat about that. 905 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: When we're on planes. 906 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying. 907 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 7: If you're in first class, first class though, sure, yeah, 908 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 7: everybody regardless of a. 909 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 4: Class, honestly, But there's a lot of parallels to real life. 910 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 4: Like when I'm listening to you talk, I'm like, wow, 911 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 4: I remember thinking that, like gentrification, for instance, right when 912 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 4: people come into your neighborhood. You're like, yo, who are 913 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 4: these people? And how did they just pull up with 914 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 4: all this power? And like whatever, how did you know 915 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 4: what from real life you wanted to put in this 916 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 4: specific book. 917 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 2: It's what felt natural to me. I didn't set out 918 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,439 Speaker 2: to write a afro futuristic young adult sci fi book. 919 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: I just. 920 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 2: That I didn't even know that was a genre. I'm creative, 921 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 2: so I just had an idea and I just started 922 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 2: digging and digging and writing and writing, and so once 923 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 2: it was coming to be, you know, as I got 924 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: do publisher and everything like that, they were like, oh, 925 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 2: it's in this box, and I'm like, I didn't even 926 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 2: know that was a thing. So to your to your 927 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 2: question in term of why tackle certain themes, it's what 928 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 2: felt natural to me. I remember vividly being twelve thirteen, 929 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,399 Speaker 2: fourteen fifteen, and the things that influenced me for better 930 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 2: and for wards. I mean, I think when you're at 931 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 2: that age, a lot of what you are is you're 932 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 2: a product of your environment and programming. Right, So you're 933 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 2: taught one thing at home, and then you in school 934 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 2: for eight hours, and then you're in the world and 935 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 2: you start to see the paradox of life, the contradictions 936 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 2: of life, and then in those experiences you sort of 937 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 2: discover who you are. So like for me, growing up, 938 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 2: I was revolutionary like but those that remember to show 939 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 2: good times. I was like Michael. I had a conviction 940 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 2: on what I believe very young, so I wasn't easily 941 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 2: persuaded or influenced by external forces other than what was 942 00:39:55,800 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 2: at home. And the idea of being pride about who 943 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: I am and what I come from meant something to 944 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 2: me at a really young age, and that's why I 945 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 2: threw out hopefully not just my life, but in my career. 946 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 2: Being in a career feel that deals with fame and 947 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 2: people see you. I was very acutely aware of how 948 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 2: the images that I portray on screen can be ingested. 949 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying, because when I was a kid, 950 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 2: there was a difference between good times in the Cosby Show. 951 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 2: Good Times was dope to me because their father was 952 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 2: in the household and you're talking to a kid that 953 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 2: was raised by his moms with no pops. So I 954 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 2: saw that. But then it was always like, but he 955 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 2: never gets the job. So it was always you left 956 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 2: like on a down tick. When Cosby Show came along, 957 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 2: I was like, they were up, like she's a lawyer, 958 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 2: he's a doctor. They always got food on the tape. 959 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 2: They always laughing, even when there's a lesson to be learned. 960 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 2: If they find a fun weaight that. I was like, 961 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,359 Speaker 2: I wanted to do that when I started having kids, 962 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,919 Speaker 2: I want to that's the model. And this is nothing 963 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 2: against anyone in my family or extended family, but seeing 964 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 2: that imagery every Thursday meant something to me, absolutely, you know. 965 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 2: And I didn't really realize it until I became a 966 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 2: father and was building my own family how much influence 967 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 2: that had on me. But but I knew a little 968 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 2: nugget of you know what when I was young, and 969 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 2: you know, the movies were coming like every other day. 970 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 2: I was like, I was saying no more than I 971 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 2: was saying yes. 972 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: Just because of what the script was and you knew 973 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:28,720 Speaker 1: what it was exactly. 974 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 2: And it's nothing against those other people who may have 975 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 2: taken those roles or been involved in those projects. I 976 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 2: get it. We're all trying to work at the end 977 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 2: of the day. But I just took the long roll, 978 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 2: you know, like, nah, I want to do things that 979 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 2: I connect to that can hopefully transcend time. But that hit, 980 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 2: you know, that stick. It might not be the big 981 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 2: shiny thing when it comes out, but it's just gonna stick. 982 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 2: Like you know, when you think about John Singleton and 983 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 2: you think about what, you know, what we worked on together, 984 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 2: it is. It's scary. How if you revisit that project, 985 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 2: if you if you see how many issues he was 986 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 2: talking about in it, it's really scary and how many 987 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 2: things correlate to exactly now. And this was back then, 988 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 2: so it was going way over a lot of people's heads, 989 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, you're talking about obviously you're 990 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 2: talking about racism, but you're talking about mass shooting, you're 991 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 2: talking about protecting women, you know, gender identity, like all 992 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 2: of these things in that and gated today and we're 993 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 2: still And that's that's why I say it's scary. It's scary, 994 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,919 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like and but art has 995 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 2: that ability. You know a lot of people, you know, 996 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 2: you always say does art imitate life? Or life imitate art? 997 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 2: I think the saying sort of is oxymoron. It's it's 998 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,919 Speaker 2: it gives in take it's both. You know, sometimes life 999 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 2: inspires art, and sometimes art definitely can inspire your life, 1000 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. 1001 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: You can. 1002 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 2: That's why you can hear a song, or you can 1003 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 2: see a piece, or there's an art to food.

All right, Charlomagne, you know, I 1035 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 6: love what. 1036 00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 7: You just said about the movies because I think about 1037 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 7: it even with a series like this, because I saw 1038 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 7: you said you wish this book existed when you were 1039 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 7: a child. I don't know when the series is going 1040 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 7: to end, but endings are very important because I think 1041 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 7: a lot of times in this art. We talk about 1042 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 7: the problems, but we never talk about the solutions, and 1043 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 7: there never seems to be a happy ending. 1044 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: Whether it's Mine, It's a Society, Boys in the Hood, 1045 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 1: whatever it was, Juice, there's really no happy ending. 1046 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 2: Well I think maybe because they're trying to teach a 1047 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 2: certain lesson, a certain angle of the lesson, you know, 1048 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 2: and then that's making me think about certain songs where like, yeah, 1049 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,439 Speaker 2: they're not showing the glamorous part. They showing the other part, 1050 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 2: like we used to seeing the rich and poles and 1051 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 2: all of them and all of that fly stuff, but 1052 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 2: they're not showing you the heartache that comes along. And 1053 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 2: so I think things are necessary with Nubia. I do 1054 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 2: have the ending, but it also is an entry way 1055 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 2: into film, television, animation, everything you could think of. I 1056 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 2: have story points that we want to hit. So it's 1057 00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 2: essentially I've created my own universe that hopefully one day 1058 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 2: can be a kin to like Marvel. 1059 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 7: That's what pains me about the Nubia series though, because 1060 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 7: I love science fiction and I do feel like it 1061 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 7: needs to be a film or TV show. I don't 1062 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,919 Speaker 7: know if Hollywood will ever make a real investment into 1063 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 7: sci fi led. 1064 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: By black people. 1065 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 2: I'm not waiting on Hollywood. 1066 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 1: Okay. 1067 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 2: If I was waiting on Hollywood, the book would have 1068 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 2: never been written. Absolutely, Son, We're gonna do what we do, 1069 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 2: which is find a way. You know, hey, we made 1070 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 2: a delicacy out of the scraps, meaning they threw us 1071 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 2: pig intestines and we made chilling. 1072 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: And we made them so good. Make me a plate. 1073 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 2: This is what we do, so hopefully it is in 1074 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 2: my lifetime. I mean, this is what I'm doing it for. 1075 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 2: But you know, there's when I say there's more of us, 1076 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about a color. I mean like minded. 1077 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 2: They're more like minded people than what we see portrayed 1078 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 2: in the news and the blogs and stuff like that. 1079 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 2: So when people put their money where their mouth is 1080 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 2: and really support one another, then it enables us to 1081 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 2: go to those next levels to where we don't have 1082 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,720 Speaker 2: to be fully dependent on other systems. 1083 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 1084 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 4: Now, the three main characters of the book, I don't 1085 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,240 Speaker 4: want to say their names wrong, but Chi and ZUBERI 1086 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 4: thank you. So they are of this first generation to 1087 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 4: discover these powers. Yes, when I read about that part 1088 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 4: of it, it made me think about like just being 1089 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 4: first generation coming from certain like you know, like I'm 1090 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 4: first generation college student or whatever, and you realize that 1091 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,360 Speaker 4: you really can be put in a dark room and 1092 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 4: find the light. Right. What is the message in this 1093 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 4: book to the first generation of anything, like the students, 1094 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 4: the kids, the you know, I'm first generation to go 1095 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,919 Speaker 4: to college and first generation to buy a house? 1096 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 1: What message millionaires? 1097 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, like I'm what do they take away from this 1098 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 4: from this book? 1099 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of things that it takes. 1100 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 2: I think the one of the main themes for me 1101 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,439 Speaker 2: is the idea of unity. You know, cat suspend twenty 1102 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 2: five hundred dollars on a belt because it has a 1103 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 2: certain name on it. But if envy shirt kings or 1104 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 2: like food bing them back in the day, supreme in 1105 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 2: them back in the they they say, Yo, the belts 1106 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 2: five hundred dollars, we like from you brand, I'm gonna 1107 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:05,760 Speaker 2: go spend triple over there. 1108 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: Same quality, right, And then you elevate and you be like, oh, 1109 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: they make all. 1110 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 2: Of these bags and stuff in the same factories, same material, 1111 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 2: same everything. But because we're blinded by a name which 1112 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 2: comes with a perception, we don't know how to stand for. 1113 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 2: I was like, no, we have the spending dollars, So 1114 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 2: we're gonna spend here where it really matters, and let 1115 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 2: as killing. Mike's loop always talks about keeping a dollar 1116 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 2: circulating amongst us first before it goes out right. So 1117 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 2: the theme of unity on every level. And the other 1118 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,760 Speaker 2: thing I really want the young reader to take away 1119 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 2: is all the answers are already inside of you. I 1120 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,320 Speaker 2: think we're born into this world in perfect harmony and 1121 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 2: in perfect balance. Like if we look at the creation, 1122 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 2: the world as we know it, everything that's alive is 1123 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 2: like an instrument, and it's this magnificent sense need, and 1124 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,160 Speaker 2: everything plays apart, from an aunt to an elephant to 1125 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,719 Speaker 2: a tree of everything plays apart. The only thing that 1126 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 2: seems to be playing out of tune is human beings. 1127 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 2: We're the ones playing out of tune, playing the wrong notes. 1128 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,839 Speaker 2: So I say that to say that the answers are 1129 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 2: already inside right, They already are permeating through you physiologically 1130 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,840 Speaker 2: and spiritually. Part of the conundrum of life is to 1131 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 2: then you sort of unlearn what is innately in you 1132 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 2: product of environment, schooling all of these things, and then 1133 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 2: you spend your latter life unlearning that. To get back 1134 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 2: to the source. So I imagine a world where right 1135 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 2: now college is a four year process. What if one 1136 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 2: day college is a year process? What could that person 1137 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 2: do with that other three years in terms of being productive? 1138 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 2: And if you put a bunch of those type of 1139 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 2: people together, I mean we're still modeling over I don't know, 1140 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 2: Twitter and Facebook. It's like I ain't caring cancer though, 1141 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, what happened?

And our purpose is to spread love and 1185 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,359 Speaker 2: spread positive energy. And you get to a point where 1186 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 2: we all are we still have ambition, we still have drive, 1187 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,360 Speaker 2: but we pushing. It's a hell of a thing to 1188 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 2: be pushing for yourself and then push for others. When 1189 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 2: you're pushing for others, now you're really serving your purpose, 1190 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 2: and it's a really it's a fulfillment that no dollar 1191 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 2: amount could fill. When just passing off the information or 1192 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 2: the knowledge to someone and then go and see them walk, 1193 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 2: run and then fly. It's just a feeling that to me, 1194 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,439 Speaker 2: this is what life is about. One of the grand 1195 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 2: themes that life is about. 1196 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 7: Oh, I get the less I want.

Would you 1209 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 6: want them seeing what you've seen? Because you've seen behind 1210 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 6: the scenes, you pull the curtain back, so would you 1211 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 6: want them to do that? 1212 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm human, so I think whatever whatever it is, 1213 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 2: I don't care if you race car drive them Mechannon 1214 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,880 Speaker 2: must drought like we all want our kids to do 1215 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,120 Speaker 2: something other than what be great, you know what I mean, 1216 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 2: be great at that thing. But underneath it all, I 1217 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 2: just want them to follow their passion, you know, whatever 1218 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,439 Speaker 2: brings them joy. If it's you know, our young his daughter, 1219 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 2: she's a singer songwriter, that's her gift. But she's putting 1220 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,359 Speaker 2: in the work for it. And that's the main thing 1221 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 2: is you know, nothing's gonna come to you easy. But 1222 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,359 Speaker 2: if you're putting in the work for it and that's 1223 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 2: your passion, I'm behind it. 1224 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 1: See. It's good. 1225 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 6: It's good in a situations like that because mom and 1226 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 6: dad have been there, so you can guid where maybe 1227 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 6: you didn't have that guys, maybe your mom didn't know 1228 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 6: how to look at contracts and look know what to 1229 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 6: look for, you know. I mean, So it's good that 1230 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 6: you're there, but it's just, you know, it's it's a 1231 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 6: difficult thing because you're like, damn distressed that I went 1232 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 6: through dealing with this in the industry. 1233 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what what you're saying is right 1234 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,439 Speaker 2: in that sense, but realistically it's a totally different world 1235 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 2: because this is a completely different universe from selling a 1236 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 2: physical record to a stream and the business in between 1237 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 2: that correct it's a whole different world. So it's like, yeah, 1238 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 2: your moms did that, but. 1239 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 4: Not like this is she like are you guys like managing? 1240 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, like you at Mom's not right here. 1241 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:57,759 Speaker 2: She's a heavy handed advisor. 1242 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: That's what's your favorite method of storytelling? Is it TV? 1243 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:08,800 Speaker 1: Films or is it books? 1244 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 2: It depends on the story, you know, Like like when 1245 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 2: I was thinking of Nubia, I saw film, I sot television, 1246 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,360 Speaker 2: I saw all these things, but I knew that's not 1247 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 2: the delivery system right now. You know what I'm saying, 1248 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 2: gonna have to crawl through this process, crawl and meaning 1249 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 2: a good thing. Like there's just so much story this 1250 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 2: that the depth of the story can only be done 1251 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,120 Speaker 2: in book form in its initial phase. Once that's established 1252 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,359 Speaker 2: to an audience and they're familiar with, oh yeah, that's 1253 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 2: the bay, then we can take it other places. And 1254 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 2: so we're still in this is phase one, if you will. 1255 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,279 Speaker 2: But other other than that, I just love art, man. 1256 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,719 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Like I said earlier, I think there's 1257 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 2: an art to cook, and there's an art to everything. 1258 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 2: There's art to business. 1259 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:51,800 Speaker 12: You know. 1260 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 2: It just depends on you know, what you connect to 1261 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 2: and what makes you happy, and for me, the prime 1262 00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:01,880 Speaker 2: goal is to is like, I realize the weight of 1263 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,840 Speaker 2: everything that I'm a part of is gonna outlast me. 1264 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 2: So why am I really doing this? Who am I 1265 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,360 Speaker 2: doing it with? It's not just a self fulfilling thing anymore, 1266 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like, the greatest compliments to 1267 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 2: this day, the greatest compliments that I received was when 1268 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 2: people come up to me and say something that I 1269 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 2: was in, you know, helped them through or inspired them 1270 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 2: to I had a young doctor come up to me 1271 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 2: and was talking about a show that I was on 1272 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 2: medical shows on and they were just like the portrayal 1273 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 2: of that character helped them through a tough time while 1274 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 2: they were in med school ready to give up. And 1275 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 2: to me, I was like getting a million dollar check 1276 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 2: because I'm like, this is exactly what I do it for, 1277 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like to be able to 1278 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 2: pass on what was passed on to me. 1279 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 7: I really didn't want to know how you wrap your 1280 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 7: mind around what's going on in twenty ninety eight. 1281 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,280 Speaker 2: I mean, it's to me, it's simple. I think humans 1282 00:54:55,280 --> 00:55:00,400 Speaker 2: are going to human and then geographically, like again, whatever 1283 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 2: happens in the next twenty thirty years, there's going to 1284 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 2: be a world after that, So that's creative license. Well, 1285 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 2: it kind of looking at if we I mean, sadly, 1286 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,280 Speaker 2: if we take a cue from what happened with Sandy, 1287 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 2: the lower part of the city will be underwater, and 1288 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,240 Speaker 2: then same rules apply. Where's all the money at now uptown? 1289 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,839 Speaker 2: All right, let's ramp that up a little bit. More 1290 00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 2: humans are fused with technology. Let's you know, you get 1291 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:28,279 Speaker 2: to take creative license. But the more things change, the 1292 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 2: more they stay the same. Man, you know what I'm saying. 1293 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 2: Like in the hood, everybody want to talk about new 1294 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 2: world or order. No, it's one world order. That's the 1295 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 2: actual term. And that's been for thousands of years. There's 1296 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 2: always going to be a group of few that try 1297 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 2: to control the many. It ain't nothing new. There's no conspiracy. 1298 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,400 Speaker 2: It's right there, dead in front of your face. It's 1299 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 2: just how you perceive it, you know what I mean. 1300 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,560 Speaker 2: But there's something to perceive as well, is that the 1301 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 2: victory has already won. And whether the listeners, whether you 1302 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,360 Speaker 2: are believer or not, I'm not you know, putting my 1303 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 2: beliefs on anyone. I'm a believer, and the victory is 1304 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,840 Speaker 2: already won. The table of victory with the most beneficent 1305 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 2: is already set. So there's a part of us that 1306 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,680 Speaker 2: we're going through the motions.

I feel like this 1516 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 7: is a conversation that men shouldn't even be involved in. 1517 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 7: What is the gist of the conversation. 1518 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,440 Speaker 3: It's not for you, Charlomagne. So I'm glad that you 1519 01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:16,000 Speaker 3: said that this is a conversation for ladies. And I 1520 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,520 Speaker 3: texted my good friend Charlemagne. I said, it's a friend 1521 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,720 Speaker 3: of the show. I heard the conversation yesterday. I appreciated 1522 01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 3: the critique and the constructive nature of it, and I said, 1523 01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 3: you know, said something down the street on the train. 1524 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 3: Let me pull up, and I want to hear from you, Lauren, 1525 01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:31,880 Speaker 3: about what you agree with and what you disagree with 1526 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 3: and have a lady's conversation about let's do it. 1527 01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 13: Yeah. 1528 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 4: So I think for me, I start with the what 1529 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 4: I disagree with? 1530 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 6: Well, Kim first, for people that don't know, you want 1531 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 6: to you want to play the clip of of what 1532 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 6: went viral. 1533 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 4: So people understand that clip to bring everybody up this rad. 1534 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 8: You got the clip, let's play the clip. 1535 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:47,640 Speaker 12: Rad. 1536 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 3: The reality is that our marriage and partnership market value 1537 01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 3: is depreciating with every passing year. No matter how good 1538 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,280 Speaker 3: we look, no matter how fit we are. It are 1539 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:05,720 Speaker 3: still seeing primarily our presumed dwindling fertility as a knock 1540 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,920 Speaker 3: against us. So here's my advice. If you are a 1541 01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 3: young black woman in college and you know in your 1542 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,840 Speaker 3: heart and in your head that you want to prioritize family, 1543 01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,920 Speaker 3: I suggest that you simultaneously pursue that mrs degree right 1544 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 3: along with that BA or JD. Because a handful of 1545 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 3: black college age men that actually do desire to get 1546 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 3: married soon, and they do share that value system and 1547 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 3: family is a priority for them too. 1548 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:31,760 Speaker 1: Y'all. 1549 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,400 Speaker 3: That is an incredibly small pool, and it's shrinking as 1550 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,880 Speaker 3: you get older, and by the time you reach my 1551 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 3: age forty, you will be faced with different choices relating 1552 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 3: to life, partnership, and motherhood. 1553 01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,880 Speaker 4: So I think, all right, so breaking it down into 1554 01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,000 Speaker 4: what I agree and what I disagree with. So the 1555 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,440 Speaker 4: disagreeing for me came with the starting with the infertility 1556 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 4: and the market value they're appreciating. So with the infertility, 1557 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,440 Speaker 4: I'm I said this yesterday. Some stuff is science, right, 1558 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,720 Speaker 4: you can't get around that. But I feel like when 1559 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,680 Speaker 4: you start with that and you lead with that, it 1560 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,440 Speaker 4: then makes people get defensive and they don't even hear. 1561 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 3: The rest of it. 1562 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 4: I know, when I first listened to it, I was like, 1563 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 4: oh God, this is going to be another one of 1564 01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,680 Speaker 4: those conversations where like someone's telling me, as a woman, 1565 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 4: by the time you get this age, your life is over. 1566 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,440 Speaker 4: And you know when you're when you're like trying to 1567 01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 4: figure things out, and you're like, I'm thirty one years old, right, 1568 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,120 Speaker 4: Like I'm recently out of a very long relationship you 1569 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 4: want to feel, not. 1570 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 3: Charla Jesus, but I feel there's life after go ahead. 1571 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,360 Speaker 4: But that's my point. It's like for me, I made 1572 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 4: a very conscious decision with a lot of things in 1573 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,360 Speaker 4: my life, going to college, being in the relationship that 1574 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 4: I was in, not being in that relationship. Even with 1575 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,520 Speaker 4: my like recent you know, back and forth to East 1576 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 4: coast West coast, like, I've always had to be very 1577 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,240 Speaker 4: conscious and cognizant of the fact that, like you know, 1578 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 4: as a woman, as a black one, right, especially working 1579 01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 4: in the space that I work in, I might not 1580 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 4: get that that other chance, Like I gotta do it 1581 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 4: right the first time. And I think talk about professionally, 1582 01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 4: professionally and personally, okay, and only because that's. 1583 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,200 Speaker 3: What are your personal goals? Just so we're clear. Do 1584 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 3: you want marriage? I want married, and I want yes, 1585 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,200 Speaker 3: family foundation, I want all of that. 1586 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 4: I don't even have a number of kids. Once we start, 1587 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 4: we start just yeah, but yes, I'm going to be 1588 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 4: an amazing mom. But I just feel like when you 1589 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 4: lead with the stuff that you lead with, it instantly 1590 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,680 Speaker 4: turns the conversation negative. And for someone like me who 1591 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,080 Speaker 4: is watching and learning and listening to you, it makes 1592 01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,639 Speaker 4: it where now I am defensive. I don't want to watch, 1593 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,600 Speaker 4: listen and learn. I don't hear the rest of what 1594 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,280 Speaker 4: you're saying. So now I'm not being taught, and I 1595 01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 4: should feel like I can listen to you and learn 1596 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,599 Speaker 4: from you and not feel like you're the op right. 1597 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,960 Speaker 4: And that's how it starts off, when you instantly are 1598 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 4: telling me everything negative about what I already am facing 1599 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 4: every single day. And I think that that's a big 1600 01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 4: part of it too. It's like when you put certain 1601 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,240 Speaker 4: troops in front of people, it hurts, people don't want 1602 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,639 Speaker 4: to hear it. But beyond that, you can't get around 1603 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 4: the infertility. The second thing was the market value. Right. 1604 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,760 Speaker 4: I don't agree. Right. I don't know where you were 1605 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,519 Speaker 4: at thirty one. But for me, I feel like I'm 1606 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 4: just now getting to the space where like the people 1607 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 4: that I'm able to or not even able to, but 1608 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,400 Speaker 4: the people that I'm dating, the life experiences that I'm 1609 01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 4: experiencing that are teaching me what I want, what I 1610 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 4: don't want. I'm right now in the best space that 1611 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,439 Speaker 4: I've ever been in, and that wasn't me in college. 1612 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:27,880 Speaker 4: I didn't know what I wanted. In college, I didn't 1613 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 4: know who I was in college. I see nothing, haven't 1614 01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 4: done anything. I also, I didn't agree with that, but. 1615 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 3: Yea assist because you put two big ones out and 1616 01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 3: let's break them down before we get ahead of ourselves. Okay, 1617 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,000 Speaker 3: so you're thirty one years old, a college educated woman 1618 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 3: enjoying a very successful career in a high profile space. 1619 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:49,680 Speaker 3: I'm going to put my hands together for all of that. 1620 01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:53,920 Speaker 3: Now when I say market value depreciating, Lauren, did you 1621 01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,880 Speaker 3: hear what I said before that? Did you hear the 1622 01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,679 Speaker 3: specificity of the particular marketplace I'm speaking about? 1623 01:09:59,240 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 4: No, which was that? 1624 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:01,880 Speaker 3: Okay, so I want to just go back actually to 1625 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 3: your first point, Lauren, which I think you are conceding 1626 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:09,000 Speaker 3: that you had a reaction to my commentary that was 1627 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:12,320 Speaker 3: so visceral in nature that you actually shut down your 1628 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 3: listening comprehension skills. 1629 01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:14,600 Speaker 4: He said that. 1630 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. So because of that, though, right, I'm not going 1631 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 3: to sit in a posture of ownership because you made 1632 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,599 Speaker 3: a choice to be limited in the way in which 1633 01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 3: you received, in process the information. Now, you are grown woman, 1634 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 3: and you have a toonomy over what you choose to 1635 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:34,720 Speaker 3: consume and what you choose to not consume. So when 1636 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:38,639 Speaker 3: I was giving the advice, the strategy the game, putting 1637 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 3: you know, certain people up on some game. I'm talking 1638 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:45,240 Speaker 3: to a very limited pool of young black ladies, the 1639 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:49,599 Speaker 3: ones that are currently in school or immediately following school 1640 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 3: or graduate school. And then the other caveat, I'll say, 1641 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 3: the other place this information is in real time relevant 1642 01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 3: to are the mothers or even the fathers of those 1643 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 3: young women. 1644 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,559 Speaker 4: That's who this is for. So you, this is actually 1645 01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,880 Speaker 4: not even applicable to you, Lauren. So so you know, 1646 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,479 Speaker 4: let me finish waiting before you finish your thoughts. I 1647 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,800 Speaker 4: also think to the reason why people also because not 1648 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:13,519 Speaker 4: just me or the people, because even the people it's 1649 01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,040 Speaker 4: meant for, I'm sure some of them did the same 1650 01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 4: exact thing as well. They're not right and some did not. 1651 01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 3: Because I's not right because you read all the comments. 1652 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 4: Right, yeah I did. But I think what happens is 1653 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,599 Speaker 4: with you and I saying this in the most respectful way. 1654 01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,640 Speaker 4: I think that the way that you approach things like 1655 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:32,920 Speaker 4: even this conversation right now, it can make it does 1656 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,320 Speaker 4: that it dilutes the whole point of like you, for 1657 01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:40,639 Speaker 4: you talking to me specifically, I agree with certain parts 1658 01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,320 Speaker 4: of it, but I think that the my whole point 1659 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:44,960 Speaker 4: is what I'm saying, right, because right now I feel 1660 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,760 Speaker 4: like you're taking what I didn't agree with, and the 1661 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,120 Speaker 4: fact that I don't remember specific words or whatever. 1662 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,439 Speaker 3: I'm not, Lauren, Really, I really think this would be 1663 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 3: better served and more productive if just like I, it's 1664 01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,960 Speaker 3: kind of like an opening statement in a court of law. 1665 01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,240 Speaker 3: I gave you a good amount of time to lay 1666 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 3: out two prongs of disagreement, and I respect and appreciate 1667 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,880 Speaker 3: both of your positions. I'm not saying they are wrong, 1668 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,639 Speaker 3: but I am saying that I don't know how productive 1669 01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,599 Speaker 3: it is to be the time manner and delivery police. Right. 1670 01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 3: So when we talk about and also the nature of 1671 01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,000 Speaker 3: this work that we all do in this space of 1672 01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,280 Speaker 3: media and journalists, whatever we want to call it, right, 1673 01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,640 Speaker 3: it's very subjective in nature. So for everybody, Lauren that 1674 01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,479 Speaker 3: takes your position, which is very valid, it was visceral 1675 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 3: to me. I found it triggering. It felt hurtful, I 1676 01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,920 Speaker 3: felt attacked, I felt policed, I felt shut it. 1677 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:34,800 Speaker 1: On whatever it is. 1678 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,680 Speaker 3: There's also a whole nother contingency of black women that 1679 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,320 Speaker 3: felt seen by that commentary, that felt heard. I had 1680 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 3: sores coming up to me. We had a fundraiser shout 1681 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 3: out to the pi Kapa Maga chapter of Alphakapa Offics 1682 01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 3: already incorporated Ski. We had a fundraiser that very night 1683 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,439 Speaker 3: that that commentary dropped, and I had sores coming up 1684 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 3: to me, who are more in my age group, right, 1685 01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,719 Speaker 3: because that's the first thing we need to acknowledge. Lauren 1686 01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,519 Speaker 3: and I are not the same age. There's a good 1687 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,519 Speaker 3: ten years between me and this love of young lady. 1688 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,639 Speaker 3: So I'm speaking from a purview of experience that looks 1689 01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,679 Speaker 3: a bit different, not vastly so, but a bit different. 1690 01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,840 Speaker 3: I agree, And my peers who are forty ing up 1691 01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,160 Speaker 3: are like I wish someone would have told me.

I might not always get that though, and 1733 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:03,320 Speaker 4: maybe it's not like you said. It wasn't for me 1734 01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:04,880 Speaker 4: it was for the girls that's still in college, right, 1735 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,519 Speaker 4: But at the same time it's placed on my timeline. 1736 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:08,439 Speaker 4: So I get it and I feel it, and I 1737 01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 4: stop and I listen either way. 1738 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 3: But I'm glad you do shout out to the team 1739 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,560 Speaker 3: at the grill. Go ahead, but you But I was 1740 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:15,519 Speaker 3: going to get to that. 1741 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:18,040 Speaker 4: But what I did agree with was the fact, like 1742 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,240 Speaker 4: when you started talking about the pool of men getting smaller, 1743 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,320 Speaker 4: when it comes to those men who men who will 1744 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,200 Speaker 4: be honest about what they want when it comes to 1745 01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 4: the family a woman, they are actually worth the time, 1746 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:32,280 Speaker 4: the energy. It's it's consistent you're getting the same energy 1747 01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:34,479 Speaker 4: that you're putting out. It does get smaller as you 1748 01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,640 Speaker 4: get older. And like, now that I'm out here in 1749 01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:37,640 Speaker 4: the dating world, I'm like. 1750 01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 3: Oh, okay, keep in mind, you're only thirty thirty one, 1751 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,479 Speaker 3: and it's like as you get to forty that that 1752 01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,360 Speaker 3: the pole the pool has struck further, fifty even more so. 1753 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,400 Speaker 4: And I've dated, I'm having a man from fifty, I'm 1754 01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:50,840 Speaker 4: having a man. 1755 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:55,800 Speaker 3: But listen, I'm not even I got I actually believe 1756 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,080 Speaker 3: in the power of the talk. So I believe. So 1757 01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,759 Speaker 3: you speak, so you you have and you will desire. 1758 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,720 Speaker 3: I do want to speak to the fertility park because 1759 01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:03,519 Speaker 3: it's very important. 1760 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:03,840 Speaker 12: It is. 1761 01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,080 Speaker 3: As I sit here with y'all today, you know I'm 1762 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 3: literally on some fertility drugs. I am preparing for my 1763 01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,680 Speaker 3: embryo transfer in the next few weeks. Now, I am 1764 01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:14,840 Speaker 3: forty years old. Just turned forty a couple of weeks ago. 1765 01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,639 Speaker 3: Y'all know, I've been very transparent about my motherhood journey. 1766 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 3: I'm doing it solo by choice. Y'all know our froze 1767 01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:22,720 Speaker 3: eggs at thirty four years old. I'm doing this. I'm 1768 01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,120 Speaker 3: excited to be a mom. I'm scared as hell. I 1769 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:26,640 Speaker 3: know it's gonna be the hardest thing I've ever done 1770 01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,559 Speaker 3: in my life, and yet I cannot wait to enter 1771 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:32,760 Speaker 3: this mother era of my life. And also, Lauren, I 1772 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,320 Speaker 3: don't think this is how most black women want to 1773 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:38,599 Speaker 3: do it. I don't why solo by choice? Well, several reasons. 1774 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,559 Speaker 3: Number one, I'm no longer willing to wait to activate 1775 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 3: my pursuit of motherhood. I'm no longer willing to wait. 1776 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,200 Speaker 3: I've been married and divorced in my late twenties. I 1777 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 3: had also a long term relationship many years ago. I 1778 01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:55,240 Speaker 3: ended up engagement during the pandemic. I'm ready for my baby. 1779 01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,320 Speaker 3: I am ready to pour into someone other than me. Finally, 1780 01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,080 Speaker 3: it took me very long time to get here. But 1781 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:04,519 Speaker 3: when she ready, she ready. Okay. Now, I don't think 1782 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 3: that most women, most black women, desire doing this journey alone. 1783 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:10,679 Speaker 12: I don't. 1784 01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,799 Speaker 3: It's very important. And I know that you mentioned yesterday 1785 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,599 Speaker 3: the egg freezing, So let's talk about that, yeah, because 1786 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:18,960 Speaker 3: I think that that is marketed, not just you, Lauren, 1787 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:20,920 Speaker 3: I think in general that is in a lot of 1788 01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 3: these comments. Right, Well, girl, just freeze your eggs and 1789 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 3: don't worry about the rest that that's some bully, because 1790 01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:27,800 Speaker 3: I'm here to tell you because I'm living it. Right. 1791 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,000 Speaker 3: I froze eggs at thirty four. I never thought in 1792 01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,439 Speaker 3: a million years I would need to use them, right 1793 01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,799 Speaker 3: because why I was in a loving, committed relationship. These 1794 01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,639 Speaker 3: were my spare Have you frozen eggs at this point, dude? 1795 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 4: No, I thought about doing it last year. I thought 1796 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:42,360 Speaker 4: about starting the process. 1797 01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,440 Speaker 3: Okay, So let me just and this is not investigative, 1798 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 3: this is I'm just trying to see something here. Do 1799 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 3: you know how many eggs on average a woman should 1800 01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 3: have on ice on reserve frozen for a probability of 1801 01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,680 Speaker 3: one live birth? No, I don't about twenty. Then if 1802 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:03,160 Speaker 3: I say, say, okay, how many egg retrievals are required 1803 01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,800 Speaker 3: to get about twenty eggs and a woman that's say 1804 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 3: thirty five and up, the answer is at least two. 1805 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:11,960 Speaker 3: What's the cost average of an egg retrieval? Amy probably 1806 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,679 Speaker 3: knows this, but he knows it's between twelve and fifteen 1807 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,799 Speaker 3: thousand dollars per retrieval cycle. 1808 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:19,599 Speaker 1: Diverse insurances don't cover. 1809 01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:22,599 Speaker 3: Most insurances do not cover unless you're working at Google 1810 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,519 Speaker 3: or Amazon. And by the way, you probably need to 1811 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,160 Speaker 3: be married for them to cover it. Otherwise they consider 1812 01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 3: it elective. They don't recognize it as infertility in the 1813 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,640 Speaker 3: way that married couples that struggle to conceive has. So 1814 01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,719 Speaker 3: what I'm saying is the egg freezing route, the single 1815 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 3: motherhood by Choice route, the IVF route are amazing technological tools, Lauren, 1816 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 3: but they are wealthy women tools period. Let's be very clear. 1817 01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 3: It's just more to it than just freezing it. 1818 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 4: I get you, I think with that part. For me, 1819 01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,439 Speaker 4: I was speaking from my own personal experience, and I 1820 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 4: think that like hearing you respond to it, I can 1821 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 4: understand your response to what I said, but I think 1822 01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,160 Speaker 4: maybe I should have been a little bit more clear 1823 01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:02,760 Speaker 4: because for me at that I have the money. At 1824 01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:04,680 Speaker 4: that time when I was thinking about doing it, it 1825 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,519 Speaker 4: was because the insurance that I was getting through my 1826 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 4: employer supported that to a certain extent, where anything like, yes, 1827 01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:12,400 Speaker 4: it is expensive, but I would have been able to 1828 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 4: figure it out. 1829 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:14,519 Speaker 3: So it was think you should still do it. I 1830 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:16,439 Speaker 3: want that to I don't want that missed here. I'm 1831 01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 3: still encouraging you to do I. 1832 01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:19,640 Speaker 4: Will say I got a little bit, I got like 1833 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,160 Speaker 4: scared out of it, A little bit only be caused 1834 01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 4: out of God, don't do that. But but more so 1835 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,320 Speaker 4: because of what like MV shared with me, what you 1836 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,840 Speaker 4: talked about, like going through all of that, and then 1837 01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:30,880 Speaker 4: I'll go with you to not work, right, I'll go 1838 01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,559 Speaker 4: with you. We can talk about I'm very serious.

People have got I encourage people, I'll say, 1841 01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,280 Speaker 4: to hold space for more than one thing at one time. 1842 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:42,960 Speaker 1: Now, I feel like whatever you just said now is 1843 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:43,479 Speaker 1: very important. 1844 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,400 Speaker 7: All Ebony is saying is this is an ideal and 1845 01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 7: you don't want it's not it's not you don't want 1846 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 7: folks to have to necessarily go through that for me. 1847 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,479 Speaker 3: Let me just reiterate that, because that's very important because 1848 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,559 Speaker 3: this is this is these these stakes are very high Lorn. 1849 01:19:55,800 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 3: I'm fifty thousand dollars into IVF journey I myself, so 1850 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 3: I don't have a husband splitting that with me, which 1851 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,000 Speaker 3: I which there's reasons why that's preferable for me.

It is as I sit here with 1939 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,679 Speaker 3: y'all today, uh you know, I'm literally on some fertility drugs. 1940 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,320 Speaker 3: I am preparing for my embryo transfer in the next 1941 01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:32,840 Speaker 3: few weeks. Now. I am forty years old, just turned 1942 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,439 Speaker 3: forty a couple of weeks ago. Y'all know, I've been 1943 01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 3: very transparent about my motherhood journey. I'm doing it solo 1944 01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 3: by choice. Y'all know our froze eggs at thirty four 1945 01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:42,639 Speaker 3: years old. I'm doing this. I'm excited to be a mom. 1946 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 3: I'm scared as hell. I know it's gonna be the 1947 01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:46,400 Speaker 3: hardest thing I've ever done in my life, and yet 1948 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 3: I cannot wait to enter this, this this mother era 1949 01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 3: of my life and also, Lauren, I don't think this 1950 01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:53,000 Speaker 3: is how most black. 1951 01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,040 Speaker 4: Women want to do it, right. I don't why solo 1952 01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:55,639 Speaker 4: by choice? 1953 01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,720 Speaker 3: Well, several reasons. Number one, I'm no longer willing to 1954 01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,880 Speaker 3: win eight to activate my pursuit of motherhood. I'm no 1955 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 3: longer willing to wait. I've been married and divorced in 1956 01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 3: my late twenties. I had also a long term relationship 1957 01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,519 Speaker 3: many years ago. I ended up engagement during the pandemic. 1958 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 3: I'm ready for my baby. I am ready to pour 1959 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:17,760 Speaker 3: into someone other than me. Finally. It took me a 1960 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,040 Speaker 3: very long time to get here. But when she ready, 1961 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,920 Speaker 3: she ready. Okay. Now, I don't think that most women, 1962 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,839 Speaker 3: most black women, desire doing this journey alone. 1963 01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:29,639 Speaker 4: I don't. 1964 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,799 Speaker 3: It's very important. And I know that you mentioned yesterday 1965 01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,559 Speaker 3: the egg freezing, So let's talk about that, yeah, because 1966 01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,960 Speaker 3: I think that that is marketed, not just you, Lauren, 1967 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,920 Speaker 3: I think in general that is in a lot of 1968 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,439 Speaker 3: these comments. Right, Well, girl, just freeze your eggs and 1969 01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,120 Speaker 3: don't worry about the rest. Now that's some bully, because 1970 01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:46,760 Speaker 3: I'm here to tell you because I'm living it. Right. 1971 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:48,960 Speaker 3: I froze eggs at thirty four. I never thought in 1972 01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,439 Speaker 3: a million years, I would need to use them, right, 1973 01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:54,760 Speaker 3: because why I was in a loving, committed relationship. These 1974 01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:58,839 Speaker 3: were my spare Have you frozen eggs at this point, dude. 1975 01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:00,599 Speaker 4: No, I thought about doing it last I thought about 1976 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 4: starting the process. 1977 01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,440 Speaker 3: Okay, So let me just and this is not investigative, 1978 01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,160 Speaker 3: this is I'm just trying to see something here. Do 1979 01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:09,880 Speaker 3: you know how many eggs on average a woman should 1980 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 3: have on ice on reserve frozen for a probability of 1981 01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:18,680 Speaker 3: one live birth? No, I don't about twenty. Then if 1982 01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:22,280 Speaker 3: I say, okay, how many egg retrievals are required to 1983 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 3: get about twenty eggs and a woman that's say thirty 1984 01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 3: five and up, the answer is at least two. What's 1985 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 3: the cost average of an egg retrieval? Amy probably knows this, 1986 01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:34,799 Speaker 3: but he knows it's between twelve and fifteen thousand dollars 1987 01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:36,799 Speaker 3: per retrieval cycle. 1988 01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:38,599 Speaker 1: Dimost insurances don't cover. 1989 01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,559 Speaker 3: Most insurances do not cover unless you're working at Google 1990 01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:43,519 Speaker 3: or Amazon. And by the way, you probably need to 1991 01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,120 Speaker 3: be married for them to cover it. Otherwise they consider 1992 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:49,479 Speaker 3: it elective. They don't recognize it as infertility in the 1993 01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,640 Speaker 3: way that married couples that struggle to conceive half. So 1994 01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,719 Speaker 3: what I'm saying is the egg freezing route, the single 1995 01:25:55,800 --> 01:26:00,000 Speaker 3: motherhood by Choice route, the IVF route are amazing technological tools, 1996 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:04,280 Speaker 3: but they are wealthy women tools. Period. Let's be very clear. 1997 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,200 Speaker 3: It's just more to it than just freezing it. 1998 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 4: I get you, I think with that part. For me, 1999 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,400 Speaker 4: I was speaking from my own personal experience, and I 2000 01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,360 Speaker 4: think that like hearing you respond to it, I can 2001 01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,360 Speaker 4: understand your response to what I said, but I think 2002 01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 4: maybe I should have been a little bit more clear 2003 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,160 Speaker 4: because for me at that the way I have the 2004 01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:23,519 Speaker 4: money at that time when I was thinking about doing it, 2005 01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 4: it was because the insurance that I was getting through 2006 01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:29,400 Speaker 4: my employer supported that to a certain extent, where anything like, yes, 2007 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:31,400 Speaker 4: it is expensive, but I would have been able to 2008 01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 4: figure it out. So I would think you should still 2009 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:34,760 Speaker 4: do it. I want that to I don't want that 2010 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,400 Speaker 4: missed here. I'm still encouraging you to do I will 2011 01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:39,120 Speaker 4: say I got a little bit. I got like scared 2012 01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,599 Speaker 4: out of it a little bit only because of God, 2013 01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 4: don't do that, but but more so because of what 2014 01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:46,080 Speaker 4: like MV shared with me, what you talked about, like 2015 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,360 Speaker 4: going through all of that and then it I'll go 2016 01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:50,160 Speaker 4: with you to not work, right, I'll go with you. 2017 01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:53,040 Speaker 4: We can talk about I'm very serious, really, So I'm 2018 01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:55,719 Speaker 4: saying two things here, and this is important this conversation, y'all. 2019 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,400 Speaker 4: People have got I encourage people, I'll say, to hold 2020 01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,280 Speaker 4: space for more than one thing in one time. 2021 01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:01,920 Speaker 7: Now, I feel like whatever you just said now is 2022 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,280 Speaker 7: very important. All Ebony is saying is this is an 2023 01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 7: ideal and you don't want it. 2024 01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:06,240 Speaker 12: It's not. 2025 01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,519 Speaker 1: It's not you don't want folks to have to necessarily 2026 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:09,000 Speaker 1: go through. 2027 01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 4: That for me. 2028 01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 3: Let me just reiterate that, because that's very important, because 2029 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,559 Speaker 3: this is this is these these takes are very high lorn. 2030 01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:19,439 Speaker 3: I'm fifty thousand dollars into IVF Journey by myself, so 2031 01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:21,240 Speaker 3: I don't have a husband splitting that with me, which 2032 01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:24,000 Speaker 3: I which there's reasons why that's preferable for me. But 2033 01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 3: I really need people to hear that. And I'm taking 2034 01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 3: shots and I'm giving them to myself, and I'm doing 2035 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:30,880 Speaker 3: all this to bring life into this world. And I 2036 01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,000 Speaker 3: don't take it lightly because it's a very serious thing. 2037 01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:35,160 Speaker 3: So I think that when we were very cavalier, not 2038 01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,880 Speaker 3: not just you, right, but in general with oh, just 2039 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:42,160 Speaker 3: IVF for oh, just marry outside the race.

So she was not pushing that on anyone. 2099 01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,800 Speaker 13: But if we're being honest, that's what I counterpartsiach their 2100 01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:42,920 Speaker 13: girls so go to college and find a husband. The 2101 01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:46,320 Speaker 13: education is almost taking their especially white Silvern women. So 2102 01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:47,880 Speaker 13: I don't fee a problem with it. 2103 01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 1: Is that true? 2104 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,240 Speaker 3: Thank you, sir? Absolutely is true. So you know, I 2105 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 3: went to UNC Chapel Hill, a very predominantly white institution 2106 01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,600 Speaker 3: in the South, as the good sister just mentioned, and 2107 01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,880 Speaker 3: that ring before Spring is serious for them what they're 2108 01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,200 Speaker 3: looking to do. Because our counterparts tend to view marriage 2109 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:09,120 Speaker 3: primarily through a lens of economic stability. Let's be clear, 2110 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:13,880 Speaker 3: and historically we know that is the nature of marriage, correct, 2111 01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:16,320 Speaker 3: It's a transaction of sorts. And I know, once again, 2112 01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:18,760 Speaker 3: you know, the tears are gonna roll when I say 2113 01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:22,800 Speaker 3: that out loud for some because because they they are 2114 01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:26,439 Speaker 3: not willing to really stand in the reality of the 2115 01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:29,040 Speaker 3: tenets of marriage in America today. 2116 01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:31,200 Speaker 4: Pay mortgage, right, So that's. 2117 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,960 Speaker 3: That's the reality. And our counterparts do it all the time. 2118 01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:36,360 Speaker 3: The difference is they are not shamed when they do it. 2119 01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:39,160 Speaker 3: I think that when you see black girls and black 2120 01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:43,400 Speaker 3: young women going and making the space for marriage as 2121 01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 3: as much of a priority as education. It flies in 2122 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,719 Speaker 3: the face of a generation that told me and mine, 2123 01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:52,720 Speaker 3: go to school, stay focused, don't get pregnant. Boys are 2124 01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,760 Speaker 3: a distraction, right, They're gonna throw you off your game. 2125 01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,519 Speaker 3: Get your education, get your money, get your house, get 2126 01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:03,000 Speaker 3: your power, figure out who you are, stand in it, 2127 01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 3: and then go partner and get married and live happily 2128 01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,759 Speaker 3: ever after. The challenge with that, because that's the model 2129 01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:11,320 Speaker 3: I took. I'm proud to have taken it. I had 2130 01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:13,360 Speaker 3: a little default starting marriage that was not for me, 2131 01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:16,400 Speaker 3: so I divorced him. Not a problem, great guy. Here's 2132 01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:21,040 Speaker 3: the thing. Here's the thing is most Black women do 2133 01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:25,080 Speaker 3: want the traditional marital, nuclear family model. And when you 2134 01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:27,920 Speaker 3: get to a certain level of income as black women, 2135 01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:31,000 Speaker 3: a certain level of power, a certain level of being 2136 01:31:31,040 --> 01:31:33,280 Speaker 3: able to travel the world on your own dime and 2137 01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,479 Speaker 3: be in the sky lounge without some dusty sun swipe, 2138 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,320 Speaker 3: that's okay. The shrinking happens. And also, I'm gonna tell 2139 01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,240 Speaker 3: you what else you move, differences you move. You think 2140 01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:44,519 Speaker 3: your swag is on a thousand today and it's very high, 2141 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,280 Speaker 3: and I love seeing it. Wait till you, wait till 2142 01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 3: you're over that million dollar a year mark of income, 2143 01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:52,920 Speaker 3: Wait till it's like, wait till you own your your 2144 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,880 Speaker 3: one point seven million dollar property in your own name 2145 01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:56,880 Speaker 3: and only your name is. 2146 01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:58,200 Speaker 1: On the deed based on a true story. 2147 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 3: That's it's saying, nobody's gonna be able to tell you 2148 01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:05,439 Speaker 3: unless they're coming all the way correct, period, and that's 2149 01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,880 Speaker 3: going to make that pool rather even smaller. 2150 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:11,840 Speaker 4: Go ahead, Yes, who's this Sophia? 2151 01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 8: Hey, Sophia, what's your question for k Williams? 2152 01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:18,080 Speaker 17: Not question? Well, that's a question. I have a few things, 2153 01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:22,080 Speaker 17: like how were you raised? I was seeing I've seen 2154 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:25,479 Speaker 17: that you were forty I'm forty eight. I'm a black 2155 01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:29,120 Speaker 17: woman raised with black women. We were not raised to 2156 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 17: go look for a man. We weren't raised to just 2157 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:34,400 Speaker 17: go look for a ring. Oh my god, I just 2158 01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,719 Speaker 17: have to have a man. We were raised to respect ourselves, 2159 01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,160 Speaker 17: to love God, and if God shaw fit for us 2160 01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:45,639 Speaker 17: to be married, our husband would find us. Like, it's 2161 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:49,120 Speaker 17: like you put your failures or how that you seem 2162 01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:52,479 Speaker 17: like you failed because you didn't get a ring in college, 2163 01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:56,960 Speaker 17: but you putting it off on other women, especially black women. 2164 01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:59,240 Speaker 17: I don't know any other race. But that's not how 2165 01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:00,000 Speaker 17: I was raised. 2166 01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:04,160 Speaker 3: Okay response, Yeah, good morning, good sis. So listen, I 2167 01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:07,920 Speaker 3: was raised by god fearing, incredible black women named Gloria, 2168 01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 3: who raised me to go to school, go to more school, 2169 01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 3: get the bag, and stand in my truth and power. 2170 01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,759 Speaker 3: So that's the first answer to your question. As for failure, 2171 01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 3: I don't have any in the space, dear. I actually 2172 01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,640 Speaker 3: was married. I had a beautiful cushion cut diamond on 2173 01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:22,760 Speaker 3: my finger until I decided to give it back because 2174 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,439 Speaker 3: I no longer wanted to be married. So I don't 2175 01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:26,200 Speaker 3: have failure in the space. The only reason I'm not 2176 01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:27,799 Speaker 3: married is because I divorced my husband. 2177 01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:28,400 Speaker 12: Now. 2178 01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,000 Speaker 3: As to putting this on black women, I'm doing no 2179 01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 3: such thing. What I know for fact, because I have 2180 01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,719 Speaker 3: sorority sisters, I have good friends. I have a strong 2181 01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:40,720 Speaker 3: global sisterhood of black women who tell me. Some of 2182 01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:44,120 Speaker 3: them tell me that despite their success, despite their careers, 2183 01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:47,639 Speaker 3: and despite their money, they in their car to hearts 2184 01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 3: still desire marriage. It is something that they want. And 2185 01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:54,840 Speaker 3: I think we got to get rid of shaming black 2186 01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:57,519 Speaker 3: women for wanting what they want. For the black women 2187 01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:00,160 Speaker 3: that that is already a desire of their heart to 2188 01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 3: be married in a timely fashion. That's who this advice 2189 01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:06,160 Speaker 3: is for. If you don't want that, I want nothing 2190 01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:07,439 Speaker 3: but what you want for yourself. 2191 01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:09,280 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people take the stance that 2192 01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,840 Speaker 4: she took because you literally like a lot of people 2193 01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:13,439 Speaker 4: don't know certain things, right, they don't listen. But I 2194 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:15,599 Speaker 4: also think that say they part one more time, they 2195 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,000 Speaker 4: don't know certain things that they don't listen. But another 2196 01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:20,280 Speaker 4: important point is I think a lot of people take 2197 01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:22,720 Speaker 4: you just as a personality and all that you have 2198 01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,800 Speaker 4: going on as like you look and speak down on people. 2199 01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:29,000 Speaker 4: And I think with black women's instantly triggering because we've 2200 01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:32,200 Speaker 4: had that happen so much, right, And that's why that 2201 01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:34,360 Speaker 4: happens where she's like, well, how were you raised? Like 2202 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:36,320 Speaker 4: even the way that she came into that call was 2203 01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:38,320 Speaker 4: like you think that you're better or do you think 2204 01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:40,680 Speaker 4: that you're doing something that other people have not done? 2205 01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:40,800 Speaker 12: Right? 2206 01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 4: And I think that happens a lot with you. 2207 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a projection. Yeah, so I'm forty right, So 2208 01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:46,360 Speaker 3: none of that's new, Lauren. Just so you know, like 2209 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,200 Speaker 3: when you walk through the world carrying yourself the way 2210 01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:53,400 Speaker 3: I do, having my aesthetic projections and presumptions about who 2211 01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:56,599 Speaker 3: I am and what my values are come with the territory. 2212 01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 4: But that's also why I do the work I do. 2213 01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:00,280 Speaker 4: I got one hundred episodes of Holding Court. People can watch. 2214 01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:02,679 Speaker 3: I'm on every day here locally in New York Channel 2215 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:07,160 Speaker 3: fifty five eleven thirty AM Equal Justice with Judge Ebanie.

And I think both of 2377 01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:43,040 Speaker 1: y'all did that today. 2378 01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,560 Speaker 4: And I think I think when you really get to 2379 01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,160 Speaker 4: hear a person like like I swear, when she started 2380 01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:51,120 Speaker 4: talking about the infertility stuff and the like the shots 2381 01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:53,320 Speaker 4: and all that stuff, that probably was the first time 2382 01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:54,599 Speaker 4: I ever looked at her as a human being. 2383 01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:56,920 Speaker 1: Well, she said that in the commentary. The commentary that 2384 01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:57,920 Speaker 1: got everybody robbed up. 2385 01:41:57,960 --> 01:41:59,840 Speaker 4: She literally said that, no, she didn't talk about her 2386 01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:02,240 Speaker 4: personal journey. I didn't know her personal journey. I'm not 2387 01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,400 Speaker 4: that tuned into her. I just see her clips and 2388 01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:05,439 Speaker 4: I know you know what I mean, I know who 2389 01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:07,360 Speaker 4: she is and I just see her clips. But when 2390 01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:09,680 Speaker 4: I literally have never humanized her. And I think when 2391 01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:12,000 Speaker 4: you regardless if you agree with somebody or you don't, 2392 01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:14,400 Speaker 4: because we're not always going to agree when you put 2393 01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:17,719 Speaker 4: a human in that situation. Now I hear her conversation 2394 01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:20,559 Speaker 4: a little bit differently because it's like she's really going 2395 01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 4: through something where like this is coming from a place 2396 01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:24,439 Speaker 4: of love. It doesn't feel like that when you watch it. 2397 01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:28,040 Speaker 4: And that is my whole if I want nobody take 2398 01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:30,120 Speaker 4: anything else from this, It's like the how you do 2399 01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:32,280 Speaker 4: it and not what you do is important because you 2400 01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:34,120 Speaker 4: don't should the love through the content sometimes and I 2401 01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:36,919 Speaker 4: know that's purposely done too, because it's sharp, it hits, it'spirral. 2402 01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:38,360 Speaker 1: I just think that's how you really feel. 2403 01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:41,599 Speaker 6: But I will say this, that's what this platform is about, 2404 01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:43,680 Speaker 6: just to be able to discuss and have discussions that 2405 01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:46,799 Speaker 6: maybe we all don't agree, whether it's Ebany K. Williams 2406 01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:48,680 Speaker 6: or when Tyrese came up here, or when some of 2407 01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:49,880 Speaker 6: these politicians come up here. 2408 01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:51,960 Speaker 8: That's what it's based upon. We're not going to agree 2409 01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:52,960 Speaker 8: with everybody that comes in here. 2410 01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:55,040 Speaker 6: You're not gonna agree with everything Charlamagne says, or things 2411 01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:57,040 Speaker 6: that I say, or things that Laurence says. But we 2412 01:42:57,479 --> 01:42:59,559 Speaker 6: need to be able to have a conversation and try 2413 01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:01,720 Speaker 6: to get to a respectable place where we at least 2414 01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:02,920 Speaker 6: respect each other's opinions. 2415 01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:05,080 Speaker 1: We don't have to agree, but we just gotta respect 2416 01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:05,320 Speaker 1: it right. 2417 01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,120 Speaker 7: And I want I just want us all always even 2418 01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,479 Speaker 7: if you disagree, to still listen because you still can 2419 01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:13,000 Speaker 7: learn something, you know what I mean. I think a 2420 01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,439 Speaker 7: lot of times we just shut down and we don't 2421 01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:16,840 Speaker 7: want to hear what the other person is saying. We 2422 01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:19,439 Speaker 7: just automatically think, we write, we automatically think the people 2423 01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:21,120 Speaker 7: that agree with us are right, when the reality is like, 2424 01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:23,439 Speaker 7: oh shoot, like Lauren, did they Lauren. 2425 01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:26,200 Speaker 1: Was like, oh, okay, I will say I had to. 2426 01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:28,200 Speaker 4: I think in the beginning of it, I was very defensive, 2427 01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:29,840 Speaker 4: but again it was because of how she came into 2428 01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:32,559 Speaker 4: the conversation, not what she was saying, but one side 2429 01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:34,759 Speaker 4: was like, you know what, this isn't going to get anywhere. 2430 01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 4: If I am that way and I actually listen to 2431 01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:39,759 Speaker 4: her story, then we could even when I didn't disagree. 2432 01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:41,880 Speaker 4: I think that's when the conversation really started. So I 2433 01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:43,599 Speaker 4: agree with you're saying, but I also think that there 2434 01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,840 Speaker 4: has to be accountability on both sides about the approach. 2435 01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:47,760 Speaker 4: And if you don't care about the approach, that's fine too, 2436 01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:49,880 Speaker 4: Like she said, like, I'm forty years old, I've been 2437 01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:51,479 Speaker 4: doing this. I know people say, I know how they feel. 2438 01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:51,760 Speaker 3: Whatever. 2439 01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:55,960 Speaker 1: I think, I'm responsible. I mean the approach. 2440 01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:57,640 Speaker 7: I get what you're saying about the approach, but if 2441 01:43:57,680 --> 01:43:59,320 Speaker 7: I don't like what you're saying, I'm gonna feel like 2442 01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:00,160 Speaker 7: your approach is off. 2443 01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:03,400 Speaker 4: But I didn't dislike she did when she was saying 2444 01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:04,559 Speaker 4: that much that. 2445 01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:05,760 Speaker 1: That's not true. 2446 01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,280 Speaker 7: If I can come here nice as possible, I can 2447 01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:10,479 Speaker 7: come here nice as possible, I can say it sweet, 2448 01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:12,600 Speaker 7: But if you disagree, you're still not going to I. 2449 01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:13,160 Speaker 3: Don't believe that. 2450 01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:15,519 Speaker 4: I don't believe that because I didn't. I didn't disagree 2451 01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:17,760 Speaker 4: with the two points that I disagree with enough to 2452 01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:19,519 Speaker 4: feel a way to be like, I don't want to 2453 01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:22,080 Speaker 4: hear nothing. The only reason I disagreed because what she 2454 01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:25,320 Speaker 4: was saying again, I said, especially the infertility stuff. It's science, 2455 01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:29,160 Speaker 4: it's fact. You can't get around it. The why did it? 2456 01:44:29,439 --> 01:44:30,720 Speaker 4: Why did it have to be said? Or why do 2457 01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:32,200 Speaker 4: we have to keep tolding this when it comes to 2458 01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:33,960 Speaker 4: black women, Because even if you're not talking to me, 2459 01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:36,280 Speaker 4: when someone sees you saying it, they're gonna throw it 2460 01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:38,200 Speaker 4: on me when I need to have that conversation. You 2461 01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:39,640 Speaker 4: know what I mean, that's what I disagree with. 2462 01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:41,680 Speaker 6: But anyway it was, I will say this though too, 2463 01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:44,280 Speaker 6: you know uh, And this is with most attorneys. Ebidy 2464 01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:46,439 Speaker 6: K Williams is an attorney. She said that when we talk, 2465 01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:48,719 Speaker 6: so she's gonna talk and speak a different way because 2466 01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:50,560 Speaker 6: she's coming from a side of facts and everything that 2467 01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:52,360 Speaker 6: she delivers is going to be faction when and when 2468 01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:54,600 Speaker 6: she comes. She's assertive because when she's in court, she 2469 01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,280 Speaker 6: has to be assertive. For some people they feel like 2470 01:44:57,400 --> 01:44:59,720 Speaker 6: it's it's spicy's being aggressive. But if you have a 2471 01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:02,360 Speaker 6: talk to an attorney, most attorneys talk like that. They 2472 01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:04,960 Speaker 6: speak like that and for most it's offensive, but it's 2473 01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:07,400 Speaker 6: just it's just it's just the environment. 2474 01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:08,120 Speaker 8: That's they have to be, you know. 2475 01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:11,000 Speaker 4: I also learned too how to stand in my like 2476 01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:13,960 Speaker 4: power because people, you know, when you're a strong person 2477 01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:16,559 Speaker 4: like that, people do take it away and it can 2478 01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:18,600 Speaker 4: be especially like working in media, I get told all 2479 01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:20,800 Speaker 4: the time, like, you're so direct, and it started to 2480 01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:22,360 Speaker 4: make me feel like, well, should I figured out ho 2481 01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:23,240 Speaker 4: should I change it? 2482 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:23,519 Speaker 3: Right? 2483 01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:25,320 Speaker 4: But listening to her, when I brought up the point 2484 01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:27,040 Speaker 4: of like, yo, people think you boogie. That's why they 2485 01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:29,519 Speaker 4: don't really hear you. It's just like, I can't change that. 2486 01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:33,040 Speaker 1: But that's their fault though exactly their perception of you 2487 01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:36,679 Speaker 1: is their fault. Like you said, people think you're too direct. 2488 01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:39,080 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, people think Even in the commentary, they'd be like, oh, 2489 01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:41,000 Speaker 4: she's cuse she from TMZ And it's like, no, I 2490 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:43,760 Speaker 4: was like this before I got the TMZ. There's nothing 2491 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:45,920 Speaker 4: wrong with it. But I think I'm speaking for myself 2492 01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:47,760 Speaker 4: as a black woman in the industry I've been working on. 2493 01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:51,639 Speaker 4: Working in we're always sometimes like you put into these 2494 01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:53,800 Speaker 4: boxes where like if you're not soft enough, the brands 2495 01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:55,680 Speaker 4: won't deal with you. If you are too if you're 2496 01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:57,760 Speaker 4: not direct enough, you're going to get ran over if 2497 01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:01,320 Speaker 4: you are too direct, you angry, you upset girl and 2498 01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:03,160 Speaker 4: you doing the most or it's too much sad, so 2499 01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:06,519 Speaker 4: you're boxing to this the black journalist box. So that's 2500 01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:08,840 Speaker 4: always been something that's been in the back of my mind. 2501 01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:10,960 Speaker 1: So if you try to be anything else, you won't 2502 01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:12,200 Speaker 1: be authentic exactly. 2503 01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:15,920 Speaker 4: So once I started leaning into that, it's like, everything 2504 01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:18,120 Speaker 4: is going well for me, but you do have those 2505 01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:19,840 Speaker 4: times where you're like, should I do that a little 2506 01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,280 Speaker 4: bit differently? But hearing her today, I was like, no, 2507 01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:24,920 Speaker 4: I mean, especially if it's working for me, like why 2508 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:26,600 Speaker 4: would I? But more so because this is me?
