Welcome Little Mama's and gentiles alike to another 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.479 phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.479 The podcast where we daft deep deep into the pockets 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.800 of black conspiracy theories and. 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:46.040 We finally worked to prove that Kim Whitley is Jackie Harry. 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:50.720 I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. I'm 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:57.640 David boy. I can't tell what you're saying. I don't 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.720 care too, but I love it. That's very good. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.520 And also, I would like to point out that you 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.040 gave me a lot of ship in one of our 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.720 recent episodes for for my selected quote, my song of 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.920 choice to bring us into the episode, and you just 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:18.200 did a a A R. Kelly deep cut for Josh 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:19.040 h don't. 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:30.200 All right fair enough song? That was crazy, and you 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:36.679 did a vile, vile man. Listen, agree to disagree. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.480 I think he's a pretty cool guy. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.400 Also, did you have a Kim Whitley phase? I feel 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.840 like we were all very affected. I'm still in my 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:52.440 Kim Whitley phase. What do you mean, Friday? I would 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.119 go with Kim Whitley tonight. Yeah, she could. She could 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:57.240 take me from my partner. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:01.959 Come on, man, it would It would get Joe pick 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.240 me up, big mama, Let's get out of here. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.280 She knows the effect she had on generations of us. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:09.839 I do. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.400 I think that's why she's so comfortable being a silly billy. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.760 It's the most beautiful part of her is that like 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:21.440 she knows she's bad as fuck, she knows she's untouchable. 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.919 So yeah, go ahead, you know what I mean. Yeah, 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.919 I'll go ahead, put on some weird pants and spur 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:27.760 my butt cheeks. 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:32.960 Whatever she'd be doing. She's silly. You know. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.560 Our guest today, I imagine I don't know when his 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.880 Kim Whitley face came and went, but you've already heard 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.960 his name, and we're so excited he's here. You know 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.560 him from the Goddamn Tonight Show, from the Daily Show, 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.480 you know him from his comedy specials. He's so funny. 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.720 We're so happy that he's joining us. Please give it 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.160 up for Josh Johnson. 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.000 Oh thanks. 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.880 My Kim Whitley phase was during Sister Sister Ah. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.320 Okay, yeah yeah. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.720 Sometimes Tia and would be on screen. I'd be fine 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.000 with it, and then Kim Whitley would show up, and 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:18.800 then Tamayor would get on screen. I'd be like, what 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:19.359 are you doing? 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:25.599 I can't if you're fully playing into Bory's bit of 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.479 d either Jackie jack A being the same person. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.520 Well, this is this is my thing, right, the one 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:38.960 thing I do. Take slight exception to is doing the 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.520 R Kelly cut for Chicago for me because it feels 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.040 like if it feels like if it was your birthday 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.039 and then someone got you a murder weapon. It's like 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.200 you didn't have to do anything. I was just happy 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.640 to be here and you're like, no, no, this R 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.240 Kelly is for you, Josh, because I know it'll it'll 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.000 touch your heart. The way that you know, the way 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.440 that it's cut together really speak to you specifically. You 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:05.960 know why I don't need to say it. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.920 Well, I think that uh, you take the message, not 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.000 the messenger and some things, and I think if we 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.920 can all take from that line. Also, I couldn't remember 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.960 a crucial conflict line and that was the second funniest 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:23.839 thing I could have happened smoking is hey in the 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:25.840 middle of the barn? Yeah, hey in the middle. I 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.520 think I love that one pretty Yeah. Probably you're a 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.400 good representative of your region. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:36.000 I gotta go regional first. But but Josh, we're not 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.160 here to talk to you about regions or Kim Whitley 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:43.120 or your deep, deep love for R Kelly. Uh, we 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:49.599 are here to discuss. Look, we can't dilly and dally 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.400 on this all day. Josh, you came to us with 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:57.000 a very daunting conspiracy. I would say one that every 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.440 time I think about it chills me to my bones. 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.560 Bory how you feel about this, but it gives me 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.760 the goddamn shivers every time I think about it. You said, 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:12.760 my mama told me we are living in a matrix. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:18.160 Tell us everything you know. 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.440 Okay, So it's not the matrix necessarily as in the 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.200 movie from ninety nine. It's more the matrix as the 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.960 concept of the movie from ninety nine. We live in 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:35.640 a sort of simulation. It's impossible to potentially impossible to 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.560 break out of. Anyone who really claims to have broken 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.000 out of it is not really broken out, because it 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.000 would be like if you were watching the movie The 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.680 Matrix and then somebody in the matrix said, y'all, I'm free, 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:51.159 but they're still hooked up, Like there's still and you 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.279 can tell it because there's no like when someone actually 0:06:55.320 --> 0:07:00.880 wants freedom, there's no coseplay towards subjugation. If you want 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.920 to be free as a person you're not, then like, yeah, 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.480 I'm so free. I'm a free thinker. I don't care 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.359 about anything, but I would like a maserati. It's like, no, 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.920 you're still locked in. Yeah, that's insane. That's also why 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.600 you see some of the richest people in the world 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.160 acting like or thinking that they broke from the Matrix. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.880 It's like, no, you just don't have a bed time 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:25.040 or alarm clock. You're free from the confines of like 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:30.120 what keeps us socially strained, but you're not thinking on 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.040 another level and you haven't broken through anything. 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:38.880 You think the simulation then, is food that we live in, 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:44.240 is potentially is s capable and still being present in it? 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.920 Or is it like the Matrix in that when you 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.640 are pulled out of this simulation officially your body ceases 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.040 to exist. You become you're like eating mud pudding in 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.920 the sky or whatever the fuck they were doing. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.760 So to answer your question, there's a thing about the 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.560 movie The Matrix that's like a fan theory that was 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.480 never like, it's not cannon or anything, but it's basically 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.520 that the entirety of what we're watching is just layers 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.200 of the Matrix. Because if you remember the third movie, 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.360 when he talks to the architect, the architect tells him 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.880 that he's like the fifth or sixth Neo or whatever 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.000 like that he's not the original, that this has happened before. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.080 And if he's not original, if this was all happened before, 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.280 and if the TV's in the background are playing all 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.160 of the potential outcomes of the conversation that they're having, 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.240 then there really is no way to break out. And 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.400 one of the ways that the matrix keeps you locked 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:41.280 in is by continuously quote unquote freeing you. You know 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.920 what I mean by like letting you break through. But 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.360 when he woke up in that like pool of slime, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.360 he was still in the matrix and he's flying. 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.480 Let's let's call it what it was. That was robot 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:58.080 pussy juice, and please finish your thought, but let's be accurate. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.160 On the podcast, it was robot pussy jew. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.200 And he was still in the matrix. Then when he's 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.040 flying around and he's fighting the Smiths and he's killing them, 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.080 he's still in the matrix. 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:07.319 Then. 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.440 But there are some people that in the line of 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.240 logic that this fan theory had for the movie, there 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.079 are some people who are those sort of like I 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.280 guess you'd say, like heightened thinkers are more awakened or 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.960 need a more elaborate ruse to settle themselves within the matrix, 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.680 and so that is that's what I mean when I 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.400 say that we're living in a matrix. I think it 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.920 is a simulation, and I like this, this is not 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.280 in the alien's territory. But the same way that there 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.480 are so many planets and such a wide expanse of 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.680 the universe that it's kind of impossible to believe that 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.000 we're alone. I think that lends itself to the matrix, 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.280 in that there are so many different outcomes of from 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.760 moment to moment, and there's so many layers to reality 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.280 that the idea that you can even get deja vu 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.600 feels like a glitch in time. I should never get 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.480 dejah What do you I've never been here before and 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.640 I don't know this person, and why is this feel 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.000 familiar right now? That's crazy? 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:08.959 Bory, Bory, Where. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.000 Do you live in all of this? Because this is 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.840 we're already. I think we're in some dense ship already. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.880 I don't. This is a conversation I've had with a 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:24.200 lot of people a lot of times. I personally hate this. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.000 I think it's I think it's for smart people with 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:42.800 main character syndrome to be fuck are you talking about 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.200 there's a bunch of people here doing a bunch of 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.720 different things, because the thing about the Matrix is like 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.360 it gives too much to like what's the what's the 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.160 point of the simulation, But at least within the movie, 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.560 it's like a harvesting thing. Because you said, like the matrix, 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.319 if we're going from what the movie is, he did 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.600 get out of the Matrix's he was obsessed with it, 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.840 and he went back to help people, but he was 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.000 out of it. He was in the world. He was not. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.679 Yeah, that's why I use the fan theory to explain 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.920 why this is one of the most persistent ones that 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:20.120 I think about, because for me, it's not necessarily main 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.439 character syndrome because I don't think I'm like the one. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.680 I don't think that everyone is an is an extra 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.440 in a movie about me. I think I'm the extra. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.000 I think that like I watch what's happening in the world, 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.320 and I'm like, that's too dumb to be real. I 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:42.079 must be a part of somebody else's dream, like. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:49.360 Shit's just dumb, man, because it's more exciting that way. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.040 But I think that shit's just dumb. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.160 I mean, some of my life feels like it would 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.520 make more sense if we were all just part of 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:01.840 Pete Davidson's dream, like if we were all, do think 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.640 about it. I know you think you're living your life, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.080 but if anything, you're the one with the main character syndrome, 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.120 because we are all a glimpse of a dream in 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.280 Pete Davidson's mine, where he's just out here living his life. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.800 I bet there are like three black guys doing a 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:20.200 podcast somewhere and. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.880 Mentioning me once and never again, never again. I bet they. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.600 I bet one of them got a dog. That'd be cool. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.640 Okay, let me ask you this. It sounds like, Josh, 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.720 you are a subscriber to us being a simulation. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.160 No, no, no, oh you're no, you're not bought in. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.120 No dude, if I if, oh, if I believed it, 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.079 I would be acting a fool right now trying to 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:46.640 break out. 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.400 My behavior would be so much worse. Yeah. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.600 Yeah, if I, if I thought that I was in 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.640 a simulation, I would start simulating. I would start being like, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:02.360 all right, let's see how addictive drugs really are. Maybe 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:03.600 I can free my mind. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.960 Right, that's fair. It does challenge one to start making 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.280 some executive decisions about how you're going to behave. 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.079 Yeah, because you gotta find out if you're the main 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:13.760 character or not. 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:19.960 Damn damn. All right, let's say you are okay, you're 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.760 not bought into this? Are you defiant when people introduce 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.480 this I did to you when you're like at a 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.440 party hanging out and somebody's like, you know, this is 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.559 all fake, this is a ruse. Whatever are how are 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.119 you reacting to the suggestion of this being faked? 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.480 Normally I ask them if they like their life, and 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.160 and if they don't like their life, I ask them 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.240 why they haven't simulated a better one. Because because if 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.760 you because if you, I mean, if you were awake 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.040 to the fact that this is all fake and it's 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.400 all made up, right, Yeah, then if it's all made 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.920 up and you want stuff, shouldn't you be able to 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.560 make up the stuff that you want, whether it's the 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.119 simulation's rules of like hard work or planning or investing 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.080 or whatever, or it's through breaking the rules, which is 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.800 like I'm going to use the the the power of 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.160 my mind to materialize six million dollars by tomorrow. It's 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.439 like one of those two things should work for you. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.480 You should not believe in this and be broke. This 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.880 is this is why fact, this is why like the 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.200 billionaires who believe it, I'm like, yeah, that's why they 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.920 would believe it. It makes sense that like YA would 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.080 believe that it may like it makes perfect sense that 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:37.080 YA would believe everything that I said earlier, because this 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.320 dude keeps finding ways to lose as much money as 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.640 possible and then makes it back in one album. That's 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.200 not real life. That should not that by everyone's rules, 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.760 that shouldn't be happening. Sure, And so after a while 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:55.200 I'm like, yeah, that's of course you're the person that's 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:56.160 gonna think this. 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:56.960 Yeah fake. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.440 Here's where I sometimes take issue with that, though, is 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.600 the timing of it right, Because I don't think that 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:08.040 Pink Polo Kanye was believing in the matrix of it all. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.160 I think he got a billion dollars and then he 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.880 was like, Ah, this shit's probably fake, you know what 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.360 I mean? Like it becomes a thing that rich people 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:22.880 absorbed because they become bored and detached, not necessarily because 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.120 they've they started off on this wave and stayed there 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:28.360 all the way to the end of it. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.320 I completely agree, because I think the act of being 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.240 new money and making a billion dollars or having a 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.440 billion dollar valuation of anything you created is so bonkers 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.760 that it makes you lose your mind because you're like, guys, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:47.320 if I don't read and I have found a billion 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.840 dollars in life and not the end of life, I'm 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:56.320 not even old and I'm a billionaire and I don't read, y'all, Yeah, 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:57.280 how did this happen? 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:57.520 Then? 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.840 Think about those days where like you get a bunch 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.920 of new followers because you just have one of them. 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.400 Days were like a bunch kick in all at once. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.000 My brain struggles to process that, you know what I mean, 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:11.560 Like like there's. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.480 Like sixteen people. This is too much power. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.920 Well I'll pitch you this as an olive branch to 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.440 the people that you think are very very dumb David, 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.160 because I don't. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.560 Know, I don't think it's dumb. I don't necessarily think 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.600 it's dumb. I totally get it. I just like it's like, well, 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.160 this this is this is like a summer school conversation, 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:31.840 you know what I mean? 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:38.160 Sure, sure, dumb Adjason, This is a conversation. 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.960 This is at the particle when you should be at work. 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.440 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, this is like when you're in 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.600 remedial English and you're. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.560 Like, yeah, you see the that's a smart movie. You 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.280 really see perfect dark because that's what it's based on. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.720 So this is the one thing that I've seen in 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.240 life that's the most like this that really was happening 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.600 to people is people. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:02.840 This is a. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.159 This is a not necessarily a type ven diagram, but 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.640 it happened more than you would think. Okay, people who 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.439 thought the pandemic was fake, people who thought COVID was 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:19.480 fake but got COVID but were asymptomatic. Those people going 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.280 through their life were basically like, this thing isn't real. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.600 Then for whatever reason, they had to get tested. Then 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.000 when they got tested, they felt fine, and then a 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.480 doctor or a nurse said you have COVID and they're 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.840 like what and they're like, yeah, you have it, but 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.399 I feel fine, but yeah, you have it. And then 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.840 they were like okay, and quarantine two weeks so you 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:39.480 don't give it to anybody else. And they either did 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.280 or didn't do that thing. More than likely they probably 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.080 killed a bunch of people. But let's say they quarantined, right, 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.040 Let's say they quarantined for the two weeks, felt fine 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.720 the whole time, then they left, and then they went 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.000 and got tested again to maybe go to some baby 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.199 shower or whatever to try be responsible. Right, they go 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.720 to the person again, they get tested again, and the 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.879 person and says, you don't have COVID. And now they're like, 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.959 my experience never changed this entire time. And I already 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.879 didn't believe in this thing to begin with. Those people 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.280 that that specific thing happened to, that thought that it 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.600 was a hoax. I still thought some of them were 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:19.160 very dumb, but I gave them more grace than anybody 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.359 else because other people were getting sick and saying it 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:22.920 wasn't real. 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.440 Right, those are the worst people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:27.840 here's what I'll say is. 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:29.840 And this is going to be a little bit more 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.560 of an extreme take, but I don't think that it's 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.919 healthy for any of us to ever be affirmed. I 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.479 think that we should never be told we're correct about 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:46.000 nothing ever because of my at some point, we just 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:50.639 turn into fucking weirdos and dumb dumbs every single time. 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.280 There's not one example of a person who was like 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:58.119 fully affirmed that didn't like get kind of fucking odd 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.680 afterwards in a way that that just makes it ineffective 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.840 to be human beings around other human beings. So no, 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:10.360 these stupid motherfuckers who were asymptomatic and don't cannot resolve 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.960 in their head what asymptomatic means for a thing that 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.160 they already consider false are being affirmed in a way 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:20.600 that destroys the fucking planet killed them. Stop making them 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.639 feel like they were correct about stuff. 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.680 I'll pitch you this because this is the wildest one. 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.840 All right. So my boy that I tour with, right, 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.919 Logan Logan Nielsen, he's who I do my podcast with 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.040 and everything. His girlfriend is a nurse, and he told 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:39.159 me the craziest thing. He was like, there was basically, 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.560 you know, she was working in the COVID wards and 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.560 and you know what I mean, she was like in 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.480 the thick of it, She's like, I see you, nurse, right, 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:52.040 And there was basically someone who was dying of complications 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.919 from COVID. And this was when the families, this is 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:57.919 like in the thick of it, when family couldn't just 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:02.320 be right there with you. They were calling the husband 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:06.320 because his wife was dying, right, and calling the husband 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.800 and then they're like, do you want to talk to her? 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.119 Because this is like this might be it? Bro, Like, 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.600 I mean they're they're laying it out as it is right. 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.240 And then this man said it's all in her head. 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.080 Fuck whoa? 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:29.520 And and that is how committed. Like when when Logan 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.720 told me that, I was like, I was like, what, 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:34.280 Like he had to tell me the story? 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:35.080 I think twice. 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.879 I think he had to tell me everything again because. 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.160 You ever find out if if she lived or died, 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:43.080 what happened to her? 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:47.080 Does that that's not the issue. Yeah, yeah, I mean 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:51.359 that's that the fact. But but if he was right, 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:53.960 do you know what I mean? Like, if she comes 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:56.840 back home, I didn't. I didn't think I could hear 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.359 a dumber thing than what he said. And then you said, 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:02.000 came back home with a day. 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:08.720 He's a if she comes back home, he hisig is 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:17.359 of Smallville. U s A. I told the bitch I 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:18.160 was in her head. 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:23.119 She got out the bed. I didn't come to see 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.760 you because I knew it was fake. Baby girl. Let's 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:28.720 go get free wings and Applebee's. 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.879 Those are truly the most powerful people, though, dumb people 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:34.680 who just happened into being correct. 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.600 Because that's what I'm saying. We gotta stop making them 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:38.800 feel correct, because. 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:44.320 That's the most dangerous person the most dangerous guy. That's 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:45.280 a true villain. 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.840 At that point, Yeah, dude, I was shaking. 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:54.280 I was I was like, hoof, hoof, that's nuts. 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.919 It was. It's one of the worst. It's one of 0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:02.000 the worst. Like cognitive dissonant this world. I don't even 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.960 have anything compared to. Because even people, even people who 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.800 are just straight up racist, right, even people in like 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.040 like neo Nazis or in the clan or something, if 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.280 you really sat them down, they would be like, oh, yeah, 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.520 my grandpa just told me a bunch of stuff, and 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:19.639 I believe my grandpa because I love them or whatever. 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:25.080 COVID was new, brandow. It took it took three months 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.480 to break your head. That's that's what kind of blows 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:31.879 my mind with that, Like racism is so long and 0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:36.159 has such a rich history steeped in actions that people 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:39.320 got away with that make you feeling bolden, and this 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:41.240 is like it just happened. 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:44.280
