Well, I'm glad. I'm 73 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: glad to hear that, honestly, because I don't think I'm 74 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: being contrarian. I'm definitely not what I would consider like 75 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: conservative or trolling. But I think I strive to try 76 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: to be fair, and if I can't be fair, I 77 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: try to be honest, Like, yeah, I try to That's 78 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: what I strive for on the show. So anytime we 79 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: have biases, like everybody else and sometimes y'all it's just me. Yeah, 80 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: But whenever somebody writes in to say, like, hey, you 81 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: made me see something a little different, even if it 82 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: doesn't change an opinion or change of mind, sometimes it's 83 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: just being exposed to a different point of view from 84 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: a legitimate angle, not somebody that's just trying to like 85 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: Devil's advocate. You but somebody's like, hey, this is a 86 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: way to see this. I think, you know, I hope 87 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: it does help people. I really do, because I learned 88 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: a lot that way too, listening to other people's voices 89 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: and being like, oh I had never considered that, or 90 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: this is at least this viewpoint in its most purest, 91 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: most good faith version. And you need to hear that shit, man, 92 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: people are you need We need that a lot right now. 93 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 94 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 5: And it don't mean you've got to agree, and it 95 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 5: don't mean that you even have to understand, because what 96 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 5: I've realized a lot of times, for everybody, whenever you're 97 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 5: doing something, you're explaining something, you're normally giving it from 98 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 5: your kind of personal experiences and the things that you've 99 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 5: been through. And when people haven't been through those things, 100 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 5: whatever the thing is, or they haven't experienced that in 101 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 5: life yet, depending on age, whatever, you know, some people 102 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 5: kind of just dismiss shit because they go, well, I 103 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 5: haven't been through that, or it don't apply to me, 104 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 5: because everybody has different types of personalities, and so you know, 105 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 5: sometimes it takes time. It takes you going through it yourself, 106 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 5: it takes you watching somebody else go through it through 107 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 5: real life for you be like, oh, they knew what the. 108 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: Fuck they was talking about, But that's just life. 109 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sometimes I like, I really do seek to understand 110 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: and be understood, and I think a lot of people 111 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: if we started with that, I think we'd be better 112 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: off than seeking to dominate, seeking to win, seeking to dismiss, 113 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: seeking to attack, seek, Yeah, all of those different things 114 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,559 Speaker 1: that people seem to start with that inclination these days, 115 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: And I don't think it's been very it's very fruitful 116 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: because most of us who have ever felt that impulse 117 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: coming from somewhere else, many of us reject being controlled 118 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: or dominated or attacked. So I don't know that it's 119 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: the most fruitful use of our communication skills, and in 120 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: this space normally we're able to at least, you know, 121 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: be honest and express that amongst friends. But you know, anyway, 122 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm just always glad when somebody says that I love 123 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: Karen's point of view, especially her Oh no, y'all are blessing, 124 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: and I would one day like to attend a live 125 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: show and see as well as be a part of 126 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: the community I've created. Yeah, I'm glad we did the 127 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: live show because that's a sentiment that we're getting a 128 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: lot from people, is that like, oh, this was so lit. 129 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: I wish I was a part of it. Obviously, it's 130 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: too soon to do one again just because it's so 131 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: it's a lot of work, but you know, we would 132 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: hopefully be able to do at least one a year 133 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: for foreseeable future, just because I want. I need that 134 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: to to see y'all live and experience that and for 135 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: it to be a fun event. And you know, it's 136 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of stress, but it really does bring 137 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: out the best in everybody, and it reminds me that, 138 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, whether it reminds me that this is a community, 139 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: even if it's not a community in a traditional sense 140 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: of like I run the community.

We're just saying go in there, 172 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: take their phone while they sleep, and just go ahead, 173 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: they will probably want you to use their phone for good, 174 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: So just do that for us. All right, y'all, we're 175 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: gonna play a beat and then we're gonna get into 176 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: the Oh wait, no, actually we don't need to play 177 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: a beat. It's so early. We can just get straight 178 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: into the shows. We had three shows three six four 179 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: or the backup Quarterback of the country was our feedback show, 180 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: where we recapped our live show and then responded to 181 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: listener feedback. We got ten comments. Snap Apia, says TikTok, 182 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: in my opinion, the most addictive app. I had the 183 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: experience of two hours going by and me not noticing 184 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: at all. And I'm an adult, I should notice. Sorry 185 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: for posting a longer farmer article. The message was just 186 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: that farmer companies who almost got broke from opioid lawsuits 187 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: can flourish again with the terrorists. Okay, yeah, totally fine. 188 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: Not like you know this is the thing, y'all leave feedback. 189 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: But I'm the editor. You know, I'm the host, and 190 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: so sometimes y'all lead stuff, and you know it's not 191 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: your concern to necessarily direct the show. But it's like, 192 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: can I take twenty minutes of a two hour already 193 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: two and a half hour feedback show and read this article. 194 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: Probably not so just make executive decision, but no apology 195 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: need it. And as far as TikTok, I know it's 196 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: an anecdotal thing, but I really do wonder if there's 197 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: any studies on what is the most addictive social media websites? 198 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 199 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, I have no idea, but I can personally speak 200 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 5: to myself. I've used most of them, you know. Of 201 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 5: course it's something I haven't used, but I've you know, 202 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 5: used off the major ones. And for me, because uh, 203 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 5: TikTok has the endless rolls and TikTok has whenever you 204 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 5: hit something, it kind of suggests things kind of similar 205 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 5: to that. So for me, it's almost like a TimewARP, 206 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 5: and the other apps just mimic it. 207 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 3: So I had to. 208 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 5: Be aware when like the reels and shit like that 209 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 5: started coming up because it was similar to it, which 210 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 5: means it was also a time suck. 211 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's also anecdotal, right, Like that's her, You 212 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: and her that are both like your user experiences. I 213 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: feel the same way that it's anecdotally. I feel like 214 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: TikTok is the more addictive of the apps, it's the 215 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: best experience and the easiest to stay on. Brown University 216 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: did a study what makes TikTok so Addictive and Analysis 217 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: of the mechanisms underlying the world's latest social media craze, 218 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: And it's long I can't read at all, but like 219 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: they have seventeen citations at the end, like like, I 220 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: think our anecdotal stuff will line up with what with 221 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: what I believe these studies are going to eventually reveal. 222 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: I really do think that app, more than the others, 223 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: is more addictive, just because it's just such a naked algorithm. 224 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: It's just it just does not get into its own 225 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: way in the way that like I said, the inshitification 226 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: of these other apps has actually gotten in the way 227 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: of those apps. They want to make money at some point, 228 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: but making money always takes a user out of your experience. 229 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: It's like, now you're asking me for something. Now you're 230 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: showing me an ad. Now you're showing me someone who 231 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: paid for their stuff to be promoted in my feed, 232 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: even though I don't follow them no, which is just 233 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: another thing that makes me go, maybe I should get 234 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: the fuck off of here. Teatok does have some of 235 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: that stuff. It just doesn't have it nearly as often. 236 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: And the other thing that it has is that it's 237 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: trying to sell you stuff and keep you in the app. 238 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: So it's like if Amazon was also social media. It's not, 239 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: so it's not really the same. It's like, we do 240 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: want you to stay in here. We don't want you 241 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: to have to leave, go to PayPal, come back. 242 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 5: We want you to That's why when you purchase shit 243 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 5: through there, and it's a hole. And I noticed because 244 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 5: I've been down this rabbit hole, it's a whole genre of. 245 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 3: Things of. 246 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 5: TikTok made me buy it, and it's all a bunch 247 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 5: of Amazon shit. And if you get down that rabbit hole, 248 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 5: you can go click a button, purchase it and loop back. 249 00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 3: Back back around you right back. 250 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is interesting. I'm sure we'll get more definitive 251 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: studies over the time, but I don't think it's I 252 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: don't think it's like a coincidence that we all are 253 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: having the anecdota experience, are like, yeah, this is the one. 254 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: Tanya W.

I said his name, and then the first 311 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: thing I saw when I got into Facebook was suggesting 312 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: him be my friend.

Listen, thank you. 349 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 3: Come on through eBay. 350 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: Already been burning. I burned through one of them already 351 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: in the bathroom. You can't find them. Shits, Noel, pineapple cake. 352 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: Come on now, come on now, We're not fucking around 353 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: with these candles over here. It's not a game when 354 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: it comes to the candles. 355 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 3: Okay, he is a candle burning bitch. 356 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: Eve said, as not to be a dead horse, but 357 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: I agree with you right about the topic. Being popular 358 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 1: while being unattractive and non white is an anomaly on 359 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: that app and not the standard. In fact, now that 360 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: Orange Foolis is back in office, it's gotten more racist 361 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah. Like I said, I don't have a prop. 362 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: This is not a PSA against TikTok. My biggest bonus 363 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: contention is how much people are prone to defend that 364 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: one app compared. 365 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 3: To all the other apps because we talk about them all. 366 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, other than that, I don't I mean, like, do 367 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: what you do as long as you know the environment. 368 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: I'm not belitterally anyone. I'm on Twitter, I'm on Blue Sky, Instagram, Facebook, 369 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: like with like, I get it, but I'm just saying, 370 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: like you're walking. It's like if we said it's like 371 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: if we said, like, oh no, TikTok. I mean, Twitter 372 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: is not bad, even though Elon Musk is running it 373 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: and it's trolls and it's just and it's that because hey, 374 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: Rod has forty thousand followers. It's like, no, that's that 375 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: doesn't absolve anything like that happened. But also just Elon 376 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: Musk has millions of followers. 377 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 3: Things could beat you. 378 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: At the same time, and the vast majority of the 379 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: people that are gonna be on there are are people, 380 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: now he's not vast majority, but a lot of the 381 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: weight to what gets promoted are people that Elon Musk 382 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: and conservative people want to be promoted. No, it's okay 383 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: to admit that while also still being on there. But 384 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: this is one of the issues with our society right now, 385 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: especially those who are hyper online. A lot of the 386 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: stuff we do is more about signaling how good we are, 387 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: and so especially this is something I felt for years 388 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: and years and years, and I've tried to express it 389 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: on here. But one of the reasons I don't do 390 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: a lot of consumer activism is what I would call 391 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: it right, a lot of whether it's a boycott or 392 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: a bycot, and it's not against anyone who's doing. 393 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 2: You also don't talk bad about those who do. 394 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: But the reason I don't is that there is an 395 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: undercurrent that does say your money is your voice, and 396 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: that is not something I really agree with, meaning like 397 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't agree that if someone buys an R. Kelly record, 398 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: they're okay with R. Kelly being a sexual predator. But 399 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: in our new social media death penalty for everything type 400 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: of type of environment, there are people who promote that. 401 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: Whether it's for content, whether it's so they can say 402 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm better than other people, whether it's for conflict, whatever 403 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: reason they do it it. I find it to be 404 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,239 Speaker 1: less productive than it is productive, Like it seems to 405 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: be more unproductive than it is productive. I get not 406 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: understanding it. I don't buy R Kelly's music, for example, 407 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't listen to it, but at the same time, 408 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: i'm it means it doesn't mean much to me that 409 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: someone else did. And I wouldn't just jump to a 410 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: leap of like so then you think it's okay for 411 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: people to sexual assault kids. I wouldn't jump to that lead. 412 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: I wouldn't need them to give me more than that 413 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: and be like, this is why I defit, like I'm 414 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: defending our Kelly now. And the same way if you 415 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: go if you watch A A Man three, I don't go, 416 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: So you okay with Jonathan Major just beating people? I don't. 417 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: Those two things don't mean the same thing to me. 418 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: And I think our consumer culture, when we get has 419 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: it low key, kind of gives in completely to capitalism 420 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: and says I am my dollars and my dollars are me, 421 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: and I think all of us are more than our 422 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: dollars if we want to be, and all of us 423 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: and our dollars are less than some of us if 424 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: we want them to be. It's not that they have 425 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: no effect. It's not that some people don't buy into 426 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: that completely. I just don't, and I do recognize those 427 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: who do so, like when you're looking at Koch Brothers 428 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: or something that like, obviously they have decided that their 429 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: money is their speech and they're gonna use that to 430 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: spread as much bad in the world as they can. 431 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 1: But when it's just somebody trying to make the difference 432 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: between like do I need to drive extra twenty minutes 433 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: go to Walmart or do I go to the target 434 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: up the street, I'm not judging them, And I think 435 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: it was a bad mistake that people gave into that 436 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: and just so that we could all get off on 437 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: the judgment and being on the high horse of looking 438 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: at those who make different decisions and go, oh, so 439 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: that means you're and then take it to the extreme 440 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: instead of just like I don't know what that means. 441 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 3: Right. 442 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 5: And the thing is, particularly with American dollars, it's gonna 443 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 5: be messy, like regardless, and that's just real Your dollars spent, 444 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 5: particularly here in America. 445 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: Is going to be messy. And that's just realistic. 446 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 5: Because everything we do, everything we touch, everything we infiltrate, 447 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 5: everything is connected. 448 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: Like if you dig down to. 449 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 5: The root of anything, the foundation of anything in this 450 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 5: country is gonna be rooted into something that is not good. 451 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 5: You can decide to do what you want to do 452 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 5: with your dollars and what you don't want to do 453 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 5: with your dollars. 454 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 3: The choice is yours. 455 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 5: But at the same time, because I said American money 456 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 5: is messy, you know, people spend their money in all 457 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 5: types of ways out of necessity. 458 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 3: It doesn't mean they agree. 459 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 5: It doesn't mean It doesn't mean that that me spending 460 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 5: my dollar here actually supports the things that you're doing. 461 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 5: Sometimes it does, most of the time it doesn't. And 462 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 5: so I do agree with what you're saying. Right there 463 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 5: needs to be more nuanced and people don't have nuance online. 464 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 3: So it's if you're this, then you this. And I 465 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: think a lot of these things. 466 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 5: Arguments were applied to the Palestine argument. A lot of 467 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 5: these arguments people just got stupid and they just was like, 468 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 5: I don't want to hear logic. 469 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 3: I think this. 470 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: Therefore, if you don't me there for fuck you and 471 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: you're like, no dog. I think giving in all the 472 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: way to this ecosystem of like a there are no 473 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: degrees of good and bad, there are no degrees of nuance. 474 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: It is is extreme one way or extreme the other. 475 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think it does lead to 476 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: exactly what you're saying, Like I do think it's like 477 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: a that's how you end up with. Oh, this Democratic 478 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: politician who has said calling for a ceasefire is as 479 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: bad as this Republican who has said turn this place 480 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 1: into a sheet of glass. And there's no difference to 481 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: me discernibly. And I'd rather just not vote at all, 482 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: even though I know not voting means that the cheetah 483 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: glass people get to be in charge. I really do 484 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 1: think that is a huge problem. I don't have a 485 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: solve for it, and I don't know what we're gonna 486 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: how you get out. 487 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: Of this, but yeah, I agree, right, And also. 488 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 5: For people that have more nuanced with things, it's like 489 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 5: a lot of those people have to fight more because 490 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 5: a lot of those extreme people are the loudest and 491 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 5: they want to drum everybody else out, and you have 492 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 5: to adam it and stand no, no, no, no. 493 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: We're not doing things. Well. You need to be realistic. 494 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: You're allowed. You don't first of all, that you don't 495 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: have to be adamant. You don't actually have to say shit. 496 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: You're choosing to say stuff. 497 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: And so uh, if you put something out here knowing 498 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: the environment that it is. You know, you're gonna get 499 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: pushed back. Whether you're reasonable or right or not, it 500 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: just don't even matter at this point. That's why I 501 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: choose carefully what I say and put out into different formats. 502 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: I feel much more comfortable on this podcast than I 503 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: do talking about shit on Twitter. It just seemed like 504 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: a waste of time to me and energy. Yeah was 505 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: It just seemed like a waste of time. And you 506 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: can't really control it, and you whatever you say that 507 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: you need to be willing to like let go and be. 508 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you have all right, they decided that this. 509 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: Means something else. Fuck it, you know, like like you 510 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: have to be able to do that. But a lot 511 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: of people don't think of it that way because they're 512 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: not creatives and they don't live in this space and 513 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: they don't have to think about that all the time. 514 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: So I feel bad for the mental health both of 515 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: people who have never gone through that or don't experience 516 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: it and then it habits to them for the first time. 517 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: I feel bad for people that are like spiraling out 518 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: and they reach out to social media hoping that it 519 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: won't be that, but sometimes it is, you know. But yeah, 520 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: but at any rate. Back to this comment, let's see honestly, Yeah, 521 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: I saw a comment on someone threatening the Black Creator 522 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: with a new Center tree, and people said they reported 523 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: the comment, but TikTok found no violation. 524 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, why that that's okay. Now, that's fine, that's okay. 525 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: Now, like you, once you capitulate the Trump and conservatives 526 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: on TikTok, you have to let them do what they do. 527 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: You can't have the liberal bastion that you painted yourself 528 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: as for years. You can't be on his dick and 529 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: also be like, but we're going to control him. He 530 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: is the opposite of control, as is his followers as Yeah, 531 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: that lives of TikTok. Shit is real, like they herass 532 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: and docks people and shit like. I don't know. I 533 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: always worried that people defending that app are the most 534 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: prone to get fucked up over there, because it's different 535 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: when you know you're in a bad neighborhood. It's like 536 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: you drive through a bad neighborhood, you lock your doors, 537 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: you roll your windows up, you turn the music down. 538 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: You know, you keep your head on the swivel. But 539 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: the motherfucker, that's just like doors unlocked, windows down, riding 540 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: slow music blasting. It's like, Okay, well, I guess you 541 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: don't know what kind of neighborhood you win. Are good 542 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: luck getting through there? Maybe nothing happens, but maybe you 543 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: get carjacked. I don't know. Honestly, I won't be sad 544 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: if against band permanently. Remember when Vin was popular. Now 545 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: it's gone. 546 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: If TikTok goes, something else will replace it. 547 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and whatever replaces it will eventually be bad too. 548 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 5: Just what happens, yep, because they promise you things that 549 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 5: they can't actually execute. 550 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: Let's check comments on YouTube. Looks like we got two comments. 551 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: Let's see enigua, sixty four said, and then go out. 552 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: Sixty four says had to pause podcast and respond to 553 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: the voicemail where the man was talking about his daughter 554 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: and her perspective on Karen. For me personally, it was 555 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: Karen Hunter that brought me to your show. But what 556 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: made me stay is Karen. I can't remember what the 557 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: topic was specifically, but it was about the election, and 558 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: Karen went off and I thought, this is exactly the 559 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: exactly the viewpoint I need to hear at this space, 560 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: in this space for me, I mean, this is exactly 561 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: the viewpoint I needed to hear this is the space 562 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: for me. I love Karen everything she brings to the show. 563 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: It absolutely would not be the same without her smiley face. 564 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: And I did not get to go to the live 565 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: show this year, but hopefully I can make the next one. 566 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: But I did look at the pictures on Instagram and 567 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: Karen did look absolutely beautiful. Oh that is she did agree. 568 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: And the poll for the episode was do you go 569 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: to the gym regularly? 570 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 2: Twenty five percent? Yes, seventy five percent. 571 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: No, there you go. Obviously I'm in the twenty five percent. 572 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: Now, and I guess I'm in this seventy five percent. 573 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: I wasn't saying no names. 574 00:29:58,840 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 3: I tell on myself. 575 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well you know it is what it is. Well, 576 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, let's just move on, all right. The next 577 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: episode is called thirty sixty five Bigger Bubbles. We got 578 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: sixteen comments on this one. 579 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: All right, what was we talk? 580 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: Glad we only did three episodes this week. Y'all was 581 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: on it. Tanya says, oh boy, yeah, I help a 582 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: musician friend with fulfilling his merch orders. And when I 583 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: heard Rod say he was sending the posters international Ikrane 584 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: International poster postage is ridiculously expended. USPS is definitely the 585 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: best option in most cases, but it is you need 586 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: to get prepaid labels so you can just drop them 587 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: in the box Joe post office. If they don't have those, 588 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: just hand them over without the pain and negotiating the purchase. 589 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: My favorite service for this is Pirate Ship. It's free 590 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: and it does a great job of leading you through 591 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: the process. Just by a cheap scale to weighyos packages 592 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: and you're in business. Yeah I've done that before. I 593 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: used to do stuff on eBay. I still had to 594 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: scale in here. 595 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: But to be honest at this point, part of the 596 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: reason I like going. 597 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: To the post office. It's so stupid, and I know 598 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: I seem like a very liberal hippie type motherfucker for this, 599 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 1: but one I do like going in there and like 600 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: actually using the service my tax dollars pay for. I 601 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: do like the stories of the environment and seeing the 602 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: people in there. Some crazy albums always happens when I 603 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: go to the post office, and yeah, now you know, 604 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,479 Speaker 1: I buy stamps and stuff and it's hokey. And I 605 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: like mailing y'all stuff out, and I like mailing the 606 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: Christmas cars and stuff like, it's a lot of work, 607 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, I don't know, 608 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: there's something old school and fun about it. It's like 609 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: we live in such a digital don't see people in person, 610 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: do everything through the AI type of world that when 611 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: I can, if it's not too much hassle, I don't 612 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: mind going to the mailbox and doing all the stuff. 613 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: But I do appreciate that advice, and uh, yeah, I 614 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: could do it that way. I could do it right 615 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: here from the house, but I just don't. 616 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 5: Uh. 617 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: Strangely, USPS site itself doesn't give you all the options 618 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: such as first class mail or media mail. Media mail 619 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: is so cheap if you're sending items like books, vinyl 620 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 1: album see these DVDs, etcetera. That are heavy. Having said that, 621 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: I get your whole experience ended up being very cool, 622 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: but you may not want to go through that every time. 623 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: I do want to go through it every time. It 624 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: made my day to watch that lady, that lady get 625 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: cussed out. I was an adventure, I tell you that, 626 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: But and then to watch that video with them afterwards, 627 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: like I don't I got the time. Fuck it, I'll 628 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: make the time for some mess Newsy says, nothing makes 629 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: me happier than watching the interaction with a bad hustming 630 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: and being the next person in line who gets to 631 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: commiserate with their employee. It's the ultimately high, ain't it? 632 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: And I took it to the next level, Like even 633 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: if that white lady was not wrong, I was still like, 634 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm on y'all side. Y'all got the power in the mail. 635 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 3: Ain't that the truth? 636 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 2: Y'all can throw my shit away and nobody get shitped Okay. 637 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: I've gone back to that post office a couple times 638 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: now throughout the week, so I don't think they listened 639 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: to the podcast. So I feel safe saying it here, guys, Okay, 640 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: we're behind we I'm trusting everybody here that's listening to 641 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: the show, the thousands of you. The black ladies was wrong, 642 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: the white lady was right. But I sold that white 643 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: lady out. My sense of justice was like, m I 644 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: just need to get my shit mail. Maybe it's reparations. 645 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, the white lady seemed correct to me. 646 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: She was bullshitting. Now, she shouldn't have been in there 647 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: trying to have a nice day at Foux forty five. 648 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: That part is on her. 649 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 3: That's what she fucked up. 650 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: But I feel like almost over the impulse wasn't wrong 651 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: to want everyone to have a nice day. She just 652 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: didn't understand the time. It was not that time. Okay, 653 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: these were not those people. But like on a in 654 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: a quarter law, the white lady probably would have won 655 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: a case. 656 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. But uh yeah, at any right now. 657 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: She was wrong to me because I needed day services 658 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: and I wasn't fitting to be like, ma'am, there's not 659 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: how we talked to our elders. I was like, I 660 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: don't see nothing. I also hate when a person in 661 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: line tries to loudly complain about the service to me. 662 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 2: Oh I hate that. Oh I hate that.

So 703 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: if there's a type of white woman that doesn't mind 704 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: you dehumanizing her, if you're saying, hey, you're better than 705 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: black women, it's like, well, I'll take that compliment.

God. 709 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: I know people are like, wow, what a positive reputation. 710 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 1: I want people to want me, but it also feel 711 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: very fucking dehumanized. In addition to just not being true 712 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: of every black man, it's also just very dehumanizing and 713 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: reduces us to just fucking like sexual breeding partners and shit. 714 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: And I don't you know, like I said, it's I 715 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: understand it, and I understand like fetish and stuff. I 716 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 1: know that that we're talking about a different category. People 717 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 1: are often into shit that they just like they're attracted 718 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: to what they're apposted. But I'm just speaking in general. 719 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: You'll see this language on like dating websites, and there's 720 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: a type of black dude that gets excited by it 721 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: because it is a physical sexual thing or whatever. But 722 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: I often find it a little bit like dehumanizing. And 723 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised when you find out that the people 724 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: that you know placate those sensibilities often have no actual 725 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: respect for the humanity of the black person that they 726 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: are objectifying, right, you know, I know it's a thin line, 727 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: and you know, we all have our different preferences and 728 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: objectifications and people that we're attracted to and stuff. So 729 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: I get all that, but especially once you bring it 730 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,439 Speaker 1: to a romance area, like we're not even just talking 731 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: about being attracted. 732 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 2: To somebody, it seems dehumanize it. 733 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: And so when you say black women angry, all other 734 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: women good and not angry, it's just untrue and fucking insulting. 735 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 5: It is, And like you said, it's insulting to all 736 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 5: the people you're talking about, and you know, and when 737 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 5: you try to explain that, people they just don't want 738 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 5: to hear that because they think they're right. 739 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get it, but yeah, I don't think 740 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: any no good person I think would take that.

And then the Star Wars thing was 832 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 1: just fun because as we kept talking about it, especially 833 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: as Karen was contributing it, the analogy just kept getting 834 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: more and more accurate than me. 835 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that makes sense. 836 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: George Lucas is really a fucking genius, and we all 837 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 1: should apologize.

Who wants to see that? 844 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 3: Wrong? It's very much needed apropos. Somebody's saying they racist, 845 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:54,760 Speaker 3: they racist out. 846 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: Here, Sinnia says man Rod. Your analysis on the Democratic 847 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: Party was on point, at least my opinion. With talking 848 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 1: to the people in the DIM Party in my state, 849 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: we've all kind of came to the same conclusion that 850 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: the problem with Kamala's campaign well that she only had 851 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: one hundred days, and also that because the party had 852 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 1: been so deeply fractured with oustend to Joe Biden, there 853 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: was no unifying mandate, which led to her talking to 854 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:22,479 Speaker 1: anybody and everybody, even those who were inconsequential. Yeah, I yeah, yeah, 855 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: I still remember when they talked to the black men 856 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: that were like wanted Crypto and they came up with 857 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: the black man agenda. I appreciate that they did the work. 858 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: I understand that means they took black men seriously blah 859 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,919 Speaker 1: blah blah, but also fuck them niggas, right, right, If 860 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 1: we are this deep in the weeds and it's this late, 861 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with them brothers that they 862 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: needed to hear about Crypto, right, whatever their concerns were 863 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: as a black man, those were not my concerns. 864 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 2: And I thought that was very fucking weird. You know, 865 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 2: guys that were. 866 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 1: Pitching comedians and shit pitching like she needed to do 867 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: something where we don't need to pay child support, hey man, 868 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: not the fucking time. And it sucks because they had 869 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 1: to scramble and do as much as they could, and 870 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: social media was on their ass every step of the way, 871 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: and people were really trying to drum up negative campaigns 872 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 1: the whole time. You know, It's why I conflicted about 873 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: the Obama talking to black men thing, because my problem 874 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: wasn't that Obama had anything negative to say about some 875 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: black men. It was that the black man he was 876 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 1: talking to literally in that room. Are not those guys, agreed, 877 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: So they don't need to be fussed at at all. 878 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: But are there some brothers I would like to see check? Yes, absolutely, 879 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: but there's some of every group, and there's less of 880 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 1: those brothers than any other male group that need to 881 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 1: be checked. Right, So I like I, like I said 882 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,400 Speaker 1: to say, I had conflicted feelings where I was like 883 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 1: I roll my eyes, but also like do we even 884 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,399 Speaker 1: have time for this? Are the black men ain't gonna 885 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: be the problem? I don't think that's gonna be the 886 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: problem if she doesn't make. 887 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 3: It and they were not the problem. 888 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 5: It's just a subsection of a subsection, not trying to 889 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 5: find it. A subsection of eight shit niggas, and we 890 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:15,320 Speaker 5: not worried about y'all and making it. Too many people 891 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 5: have made too much content off of black men versus 892 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 5: black women, right, And so I saw people continually moving 893 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 5: the bar to well, I don't care if eighty something 894 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 5: percent of black men voted for Kamala, that's still not 895 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 5: good enough. They still a problem, So they can still 896 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 5: shit on black men. And at that point I have 897 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 5: to say, then, are you also spending that same energy 898 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 5: on the eight percent of black women that voted for Trump? No, 899 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 5: because that would be ridiculous and not productive at all 900 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,359 Speaker 5: to put that much energy and time into a group 901 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 5: of people that. 902 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 2: Honestly, at this point, I don't even see. 903 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: What could sway that group of people if they voted 904 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: for Trump again in twenty twenty four. So, like, whatever 905 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: those eight percent, six, whatever that number is a black women, 906 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: they're gone. And similarly, whatever the number is a black 907 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,880 Speaker 1: man that decided in this last election to go for 908 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 1: Trump over Kamala, they're gone. To me, there's no they're 909 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: not coming back, there's no argument to make, there's no 910 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 1: crypto policy to pass. Fuck them dudes. So I can't 911 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: really get with wasting time on that, But yeah, I 912 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: totally agree with you in that not very much time 913 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: was left and with one hundred days it's a lot 914 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 1: of work. 915 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I do agree with you where it started 916 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 5: off fractured like people and I'm just keeping it real. 917 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 5: People under estimated how bad the fallout of Joe Biden 918 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 5: stepping down would be. A lot of people really thought 919 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 5: Joe Biden stepping down it was gonna be this smooth 920 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 5: ass transition and everybody was just gonna rye right rad 921 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 5: and get along. 922 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,719 Speaker 3: And for the most part, some people did. Most people did. 923 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 5: But there is a subsection like me who feel a 924 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 5: certain way, and I will always feel a fucking way 925 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:56,879 Speaker 5: about it. 926 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 3: So it's still a quote unquote. 927 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 5: You're there, you know, but I'm still gonna vote all 928 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 5: that shit, But I still feel a certain way. 929 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: I just don't know what the fuck was supposed to 930 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,399 Speaker 1: be done, that's all. That's all. 931 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 2: Every like it's a bad situation. 932 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: Everybody is. Everybody is like, uh upset about like what 933 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 1: seating Uh the seat numbers on the Titanic, And it's 934 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,959 Speaker 1: just like, I don't even understand what's the quibble about. 935 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: At this point, it's fucked going down it's fucked up, 936 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: like we just had an emergency situation. And even the 937 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 1: people that say stuff like well they knew he was 938 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: fucked up. If they knew he was fucked up, we 939 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: didn't know he was fucked up, you know, not not enough. 940 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: And part of the reason we didn't know he was 941 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 1: fucked up. And that's why no one will take responsibility 942 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: or ownership of it is because y'all were saying it 943 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 1: before he was fucked up, when he was fucking up, 944 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,879 Speaker 1: like just gaffs and all this type of stuff, y'all 945 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: were letting it. Y'all were y'all were acting like he 946 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,319 Speaker 1: had he was fucked up the whole time. Well, he 947 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: was competent, and so he has this bad debate and 948 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: then it's like we've been telling you the whole time. 949 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: It's like, no, this is different. It is scary to me. 950 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: This does feel different to me. I did watch that debate. 951 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: I will not deny what I saw. And if you 952 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: got to come up with an emergency plan, then you 953 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 1: have to come up with an emergency plan. But like, 954 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: there's so many assumptions that are being made that just 955 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 1: I don't see the proof of these assumptions, Like oh 956 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: he was always fucked up this whole time? Was he though? 957 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 1: Or just that just a thing we're saying now to 958 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: make Democrats look the worst we can possibly make them look. 959 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,279 Speaker 1: You know, if we had a primary, but did we 960 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: really need a fuck we didn't have time to do 961 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,240 Speaker 1: a primary, but but did we need a primary? 962 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 5: Let's be honest, right, and every name y'all threw up 963 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 5: immediately stepped down, so was there. 964 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 2: But even if they didn't step down, what would have 965 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 2: been the point? 966 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 1: Right, what would have been Let's let's say you have 967 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 1: a primary, more than likely com Harrison wins anyway, So 968 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 1: now what what what would we ultimately need to be 969 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 1: able to do get in line and vote for her? 970 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: And as far as everything else, I mean, optically, the 971 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 1: rallies were attended numbers wise, we have the data of 972 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: new registrations, We had the data of most volunteer, we 973 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: have the data of most donated money from single donators, 974 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: not fucking big corporate interests, of all fucking time. If 975 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 1: that's a losing campaign, then I don't know what a 976 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 1: winning campaign even is at this point. Are so just 977 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 1: leave me the fuck out of it. It's not my 978 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 1: it's not my responsibility. Also, I don't know what Gavin 979 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 1: Newsom is on with these politicians based too much of 980 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: their strategy on media consumption data. The data is is 981 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: biased and unreliable when you consider who owns the top 982 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 1: media platforms or outlets. If he is actually trying to 983 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: position himself for a presidential run, this talking to white 984 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: supremacist strategy is going to keep more progressives at home 985 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 1: on election day, which is how we lose. Right, I 986 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,320 Speaker 1: don't understand what he's saying. I don't know what he's doing, 987 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 1: and I talked, but you know what, that's a lot. 988 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: That's a lot. I know what he's doing, and I 989 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,839 Speaker 1: do understand why he's doing it, because I said, that's 990 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: what will happen. So actually, yeah, he's doing what I 991 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,399 Speaker 1: said was going to happen. Everyone said, if they lose 992 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,359 Speaker 1: this election, it'll be a referendum on Democrats and they're 993 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to get more radical and more progressive. And 994 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 1: I said, that is not what will happen, because that 995 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: has never happened in American history. What will happen is 996 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 1: that they will go How do we get to the 997 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 1: centrist slash conservative voters who might be willing to vote Democrats, right, 998 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 1: And that's what Bill Clinton did, and that's and and 999 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 1: that's what the fuck is going to happen. That's what 1000 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,279 Speaker 1: like Biden had to do it even with him having 1001 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 1: a progressive presidency. 1002 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 2: He when he campaigned, he had the campaign to. 1003 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 1: The center of the country. That's what Gavin Newsom is 1004 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 1: gearing himself up to be. And it's sad because if 1005 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,360 Speaker 1: that works, it doesn't make us have more progress progress, 1006 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,319 Speaker 1: it makes us any less agree on the progressive side. 1007 00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 1: We have the numbers of people just show up. So 1008 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: what makes people get up and go vote based on 1009 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 1: buying Obama's campaigns? I'd say inspiration or anxiety? Yeah, yeah, 1010 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 1: I'll get to that and say it. Dems are primeing 1011 00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 1: to win twenty six and twenty twenty eight, assuming we 1012 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: can actually have elections, if they can define and simplify 1013 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,959 Speaker 1: their agenda and the voters actually show up to the polls. 1014 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 1: I guess we'll see. Yeah, I'll so this is what 1015 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 1: I'll say about that. I think we do a lot 1016 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 1: of retroactive assigning of credit to campaigns. And my personal, 1017 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: maybe very cynical belief at this moment is that it's 1018 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 1: not about the messages of the campaign. I think we 1019 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: do a lot of disservice to ourselves when we put 1020 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 1: that much credit in the campaigns or the politicians hands. 1021 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: I truly think it's the economy. 1022 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 3: Yes, I agree. 1023 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 5: I agree, because because if you sit back and think 1024 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 5: about it, how did we get Obama? 1025 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,440 Speaker 3: Y'all? Like people, they were alive and around at. 1026 00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 5: That time, how did we get Obama? Everything was fucked up, y'all? 1027 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,399 Speaker 5: And they was like, damn, well, I guess we'll give 1028 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 5: it to a nigga. How did we get Biden? All 1029 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 5: of us about to die. We was like, damn, I 1030 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 5: guess we get somebody out here that actually give a 1031 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 5: fuck it will get vaccines. America does not move unless 1032 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 5: it's forced to move. 1033 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if the coronavirus pandemic didn't happen under Trump, 1034 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,919 Speaker 1: he gets two terms. That's what I'm resigned to believe. Now. 1035 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 1: I don't think obviously, with him being reelected, his bigotry 1036 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 1: wasn't the deal breaker for people. It was just my 1037 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 1: job is fucked up, my life is fucked up. All 1038 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,120 Speaker 1: the businesses are closing, and it's not all of us. Obviously. 1039 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 1: That's probably like a fifty to fifty divide on the 1040 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: people that are committed to just one party or the other, 1041 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 1: or probably sixty forty divider for being honest. But it's 1042 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 1: it's that swing between presidents. That's just like, I don't know, 1043 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,719 Speaker 1: a lot of industry is looking fucked up. I guess 1044 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 1: we should try a different politician. And I don't believe 1045 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: that it's any economic message. I don't believe it's any 1046 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 1: social message for those type of voters. I think a 1047 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 1: lot of them is like once democrats get in office 1048 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,839 Speaker 1: and they run the country better, and wages and unemployment 1049 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: and all this stuff is doing is doing well or 1050 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,840 Speaker 1: doing better, Let's not say well, let's say better, but 1051 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: it's doing better than before, or feel stable. They go, well, 1052 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,359 Speaker 1: we can shake this up and I can either stay 1053 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 1: home or I can swing back to my conservative social ideas, 1054 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 1: which is now that I have a job and I 1055 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,439 Speaker 1: feel secure in this job. I don't want black people 1056 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:40,920 Speaker 1: to have a job. I don't want brown people to 1057 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,399 Speaker 1: have a job. I don't want women to have a job. 1058 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't want LGBTQ people to have a job. I 1059 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,439 Speaker 1: don't want gay people to have rights. I don't want 1060 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's like whatever that shit is it kicked 1061 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 1: back up because they think on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, 1062 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: they think that bottom of the pyramid is like satiated. 1063 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 2: So it's like, what are my top my top ones? 1064 00:54:59,000 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 1: Ooh, my top one. 1065 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 2: It's actually to fuck other people over. 1066 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,080 Speaker 1: Shoe booty, says Rod. Description of the Debbie Downer dims 1067 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:08,799 Speaker 1: is so right. We are that meme of the god 1068 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 1: shooting himself and then looking at the camera like, why 1069 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 1: did the GOP do this to us? Oh? That's Eric 1070 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,840 Speaker 1: Andre shooting Hannibal Burds. 1071 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 3: Yes, ah, I love that damn show. 1072 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: It's like when people give dating advice to say, you 1073 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: can't love someone else if you don't love yourself. Democratic 1074 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: party needs more self esteem, less navel gazing, and we 1075 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 1: are going to be the cultor personality. Yeah, you need 1076 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 1: those voters man, Like I'm not even saying like I'm 1077 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,919 Speaker 1: I try not to use them interchangeably. And I try 1078 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,279 Speaker 1: to make this distinction every single time I bring it up. 1079 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 1: And I know it's a bit confusing, but when I 1080 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,280 Speaker 1: say Democrats, I am mostly talking about the people, yes, 1081 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: the not the politician, not the system, not the just 1082 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 1: the actual human beings that say they're liberal. And progressive 1083 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 1: and they want good things. They gotta get their shit together. 1084 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 3: Yes they do. You need to be more than words. 1085 00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 1: The politicians reflect us, not the other way around. So 1086 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 1: things that happen in this country out the responsibility of 1087 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,840 Speaker 1: the people that say they're good but didn't sit home 1088 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 1: so they can feel like they're even better than participating 1089 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: in the system. Erica says, the DMV in the post 1090 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,720 Speaker 1: office are hell. I'll never forget my six hour adventure 1091 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 1: to obtain my NC license. I'm dreaded. I'm dreading going 1092 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,839 Speaker 1: to a ship these cookies to my sister. Every time 1093 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 1: I go. There's a line. Evie says.

I do 1096 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 1: kind of have to commend that old white lady for 1097 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 1: not dropping the N bomb in today's political climate. Well, 1098 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm be honest, she ain't. She ain't want that smoke 1099 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,919 Speaker 1: because it's not like them black women behind the count 1100 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 1: was the only black women. 1101 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,400 Speaker 2: It wasn't the only black people girls in there. 1102 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have definitely like kicked her cane from 1103 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:51,960 Speaker 1: under her if she would have said that shit, Like 1104 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,520 Speaker 1: come on, now she knew she was playing an away game. 1105 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:57,879 Speaker 1: She gets no credit for not saying the N word. 1106 00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,399 Speaker 1: She said it when she got in the car, for sure. 1107 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 2: I bet you say it over there. I bet she 1108 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 2: wanted to. 1109 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,279 Speaker 1: You know what. Welcome to the cookout, Apple says.

The shop can provide a 1116 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 1: corner and the employees for the post office business is fine. 1117 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 1: They get a course what to do all the equipment. 1118 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:32,080 Speaker 1: The corner is recognizable by the yellow door.

I don't regret 1143 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 1: anything I said. I think that I don't get anyway. 1144 00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,200 Speaker 1: I don't get him smart. Dave sixty seve as, in 1145 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,760 Speaker 1: regard to a social media chart, being progressivest to be 1146 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 1: anti corporate and pro worker. So these social media platforms 1147 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 1: which our businesses are less inclined to support progressive channels. Yeah, 1148 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 1: almost all these businesses are like that. There are some 1149 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: where you have leaders and CEOs that have decided to 1150 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 1: their corporation is going to try to be ethical. But 1151 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: for the vast majority of these, especially startup social media 1152 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:27,320 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley ass companies, they have no real value other 1153 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,960 Speaker 1: than to use the users who are on them. 1154 00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 3: Because they're the product. 1155 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 1: As the product, so we can't think that they're going 1156 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,360 Speaker 1: to create an equitable ecosystem. And yeah, a lot of 1157 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 1: their stuff is going to give into craving capitalism, which 1158 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:46,920 Speaker 1: in America is going to be conservatism. Like whether you 1159 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 1: think capitalism can have ethics or not, that's not really 1160 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 1: for me to decide for you. But I do know 1161 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 1: that the people who are most cravingly hyper capitalists are conservatives. 1162 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Are in America. You can't spell Jedi without DEI the 1163 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 1: ice cream cone Yodel licks says AC that's fat. 1164 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 2: At one sixteen fourteen. You are so right. 1165 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: You pointed out how frustrating it can be with these 1166 01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: political parties. So many Democrats had this purity standard where 1167 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,959 Speaker 1: if the politician is and as liberal as they want 1168 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: them they refuse to support them, while the Trump supporters 1169 01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 1: will back him no matter what. 1170 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 3: Right. 1171 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 1: I just want to let me know when y'all tired 1172 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 1: of losing, man. 1173 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 3: Right, let me know when you are. 1174 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm here losing.

Oh the shirt that's my man 1201 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 1: with the clouds and they used to be on PBS 1202 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 1: painting Wild Ross. Yeah, Bob Ross, hello again, I'm your 1203 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 1: gender critical listener, says letting Lucky Eagles sixty forty. Democrats 1204 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 1: have to move to the middle and make small changes 1205 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 1: towards the left is the game more power. That's the 1206 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 1: only way we progress. If you push too fast and 1207 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 1: too hard, there are people who will rebel. And that's 1208 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 1: what we're living in now with Trump. Trump is the 1209 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,680 Speaker 1: devil and his supporters our demons, and they are trying 1210 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 1: to take this make this country hell. I love the 1211 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 1: games we made in this country, social Security, Obamacare, ability 1212 01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,480 Speaker 1: for black people to enter the middle class through government jobs, 1213 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 1: voting rightsdi and it kills me to see us lose 1214 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 1: everything black people fought for for these centuries. We Black 1215 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 1: Americans made this country really great and bled in us 1216 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 1: soft for generation to make it better. I don't want 1217 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 1: to get it up so easily. Two things I hope 1218 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,920 Speaker 1: Democrats start doing immediately. One, Democrats have to stop bringing 1219 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 1: up trans people in every interview. This really hurts us. 1220 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 1: I hope them stop mentioning the trans issues altogether. I'm 1221 01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,520 Speaker 1: not saying trans people should not exist. I like what 1222 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,480 Speaker 1: Tim Wallace had to say about it when he said 1223 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,000 Speaker 1: everyone should mind their own business about other people's business. 1224 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 1: I agree with this. This is a very small minority. 1225 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Let them do what they do, but we don't have 1226 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,480 Speaker 1: to talk about it every single time. We're trying to 1227 01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 1: save our democracy. Maybe that means they go back into 1228 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 1: the shadows, but they go into the shadows in the 1229 01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 1: country that is still democracy or where people are not 1230 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 1: being disappeared for protesting. Honestly, a lot of moderists just 1231 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,600 Speaker 1: don't want to hear about it or think about it anymore. 1232 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,920 Speaker 1: If the dem stopped talking about it so much, they 1233 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 1: would be less focused on the community. Well number one, 1234 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 1: well let me finishing your point. You always compare our 1235 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 1: struggle to the trans struggle. I completely reject that, but 1236 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fight about that. Moderists. I'm talking about 1237 01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:44,360 Speaker 1: our black other black moderists there are. Those are the 1238 01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 1: people we have to have we have into getting back 1239 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,800 Speaker 1: to drop this trans stuff. They are not going to 1240 01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 1: be going to be anti black issues. 1241 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 2: This last sentence made no sense. But let me explain something. 1242 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 1: To you real quick, Lucky Eagle. The first part of 1243 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 1: this is Democrats did not bring up trans issues often 1244 01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 1: at all at all. Like, what's very ironic is that 1245 01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 1: you have been, like many other people, you have been 1246 01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 1: completely triggered by your biases against trans people by Trump. 1247 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:27,920 Speaker 2: And the ads that he put out. 1248 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, so many actual trans people, actual LGBTQ advocates will 1249 01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 1: tell you Kamala Harris would not talk about those things 1250 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 1: during their campaign for the most part. You look at 1251 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 1: almost every campaign stop, it was not an issue she 1252 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,280 Speaker 1: brought up or broached on her own. If if she 1253 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 1: did talk about it, as know, only because she was 1254 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:54,800 Speaker 1: asked about it. So you've already conceded a false You've 1255 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,440 Speaker 1: already basically put a falsehood out here, and you've and 1256 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,320 Speaker 1: you've conceded that ground, right You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, 1257 01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,360 Speaker 1: that and it's because you're a bias against trans people, 1258 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 1: you're transphobic. So now you want to turn this into 1259 01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 1: a referendum on trans people because Trump put out an 1260 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 1: ad that every five minutes said something about Kamala was 1261 01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:19,680 Speaker 1: giving trans people sex change surgeries and hundreds of thousands 1262 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,480 Speaker 1: of dollars in prison, which wasn't true. So I don't 1263 01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 1: fight on lies. You can do that, but I'm not 1264 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,880 Speaker 1: going to fight you on some lies over here. We 1265 01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,120 Speaker 1: have to share the same reality or we can't have 1266 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:33,920 Speaker 1: this conversation. 1267 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 2: The other part is I compare. 1268 01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 1: All struggles, all struggles that are about privilege, all struggles 1269 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 1: that are about unfairness, all struggles that are about not 1270 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,200 Speaker 1: letting someone have freedom, to the black struggle. A comparison 1271 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 1: is not saying something is equal. It is simply saying 1272 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 1: that the way that these things are relatable, I can 1273 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 1: analyze both. If you are incapable of such ability to 1274 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 1: follow that logic, I then we. 1275 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 2: Just can't relate. 1276 01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,400 Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't really bigger or go back 1277 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 1: and forth with people about it. You are the one 1278 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 1: who lacks the imagination, not me. You're the one who 1279 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,840 Speaker 1: cannot follow me, not the other way around. I can 1280 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,919 Speaker 1: follow your simple k man bigotry logic. That's easy. Any 1281 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,120 Speaker 1: anybody can see that that you know. I don't have 1282 01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 1: to agree with it to follow it. It's simple. But 1283 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 1: for me, I don't think it's very complicated. And this 1284 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 1: is the way my brain works. And then the third 1285 01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:42,240 Speaker 1: thing I'll say about this point is black people were 1286 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:47,320 Speaker 1: not the reason Democrats lost this election. So for you 1287 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 1: to say, like, well, we need to get these black 1288 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 1: transfods back in the fold, why why they not? They 1289 01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:59,560 Speaker 1: didn't lose the election for for Democrats. Black people's turnout 1290 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: wasn't lower or some shit. Black people didn't vote for 1291 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 1: her in less of a If anything, black men voted 1292 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,440 Speaker 1: higher for her than they did under Biden. So I 1293 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 1: reject the entire lie that you wrote up here with 1294 01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,120 Speaker 1: And whether you just didn't know you were lying, or 1295 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,080 Speaker 1: whether you thought you were gonna trick us with lies, 1296 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 1: but these are lies. These are If we can't share facts, 1297 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,120 Speaker 1: then we can't really share a conversation. 1298 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,800 Speaker 2: So I reject all of that shit. Now, will this 1299 01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:26,960 Speaker 2: be what happens? 1300 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:31,280 Speaker 1: Possibly? I still predict a lot of Democrats are going 1301 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 1: to fight over the soul of that party, and it's 1302 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,880 Speaker 1: gonna become how do we become basically conservatives. But let 1303 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 1: me tell you something, Doc, I don't know why they 1304 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,160 Speaker 1: would stop at trans people if what you're saying is right, 1305 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,200 Speaker 1: because you know who else needs to take their ass 1306 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,960 Speaker 1: back into shadows and stop fucking up progress for everybody else. 1307 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 1: People that say stuff like defund the police, people that 1308 01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,720 Speaker 1: say stuff like black lives matter right, people that use 1309 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 1: words like white supremacisy and systemic oppression and out, they 1310 01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:11,760 Speaker 1: should take they very inconvenient ass issues that don't affect 1311 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 1: the vast majority of the people in this country as 1312 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 1: far as they're concerned. 1313 01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 2: Right any negative way. 1314 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 1: They should take their ass somewhere and shut up and 1315 01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 1: dribble and just let us cater to the white people 1316 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: that we think will actually go vote. We don't want 1317 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,679 Speaker 1: to hear about your issues either. You should be happy 1318 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 1: that you live in a country where they're not abducting 1319 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,880 Speaker 1: people or kicking people out for disagreeing. That should be 1320 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,479 Speaker 1: enough for you. And fuck your rights. That's really what 1321 01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,080 Speaker 1: you're saying. And so that's why you have to reject 1322 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,080 Speaker 1: my comparison, because you want to have the privilege of 1323 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:53,200 Speaker 1: what we would call black activism in America without seeding 1324 01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,559 Speaker 1: that ground to anyone else. Everyone else's issues, after eyes, 1325 01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 1: needs to stop mattering. But the issues that you specifically 1326 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,719 Speaker 1: want to have that you do want the Democratic Party 1327 01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 1: and the country to uphold. For the thirteen percent of 1328 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,879 Speaker 1: us that live in that make up the American populace. 1329 01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 1: The thirteen percent meaning the minority of black people of 1330 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 1: population in America are black. You want that thirteen percent 1331 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 1: to be front and center on that docket. Though you 1332 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 1: want our rights to be up there being pushed for. 1333 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,000 Speaker 2: You want people to be allied with us. 1334 01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 1: And that is the real issue on the Democratic Party side, 1335 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,759 Speaker 1: is that y'all selfish motherfuckers don't want to be allied 1336 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,280 Speaker 1: with nobody. Everybody want just their ala car ass freedoms. 1337 01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,599 Speaker 1: And then if everybody else supposed to just bend over 1338 01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,240 Speaker 1: and fucking take it, and I say fuck that, so 1339 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: I honest to. 1340 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:41,200 Speaker 2: God, as. 1341 01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:48,519 Speaker 1: If this is how we're the Democrats and Democratic voters lose, 1342 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: then we deserve it. Then we need to suffer. We 1343 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,519 Speaker 1: must suffer together, and maybe the suffering will be enough 1344 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,880 Speaker 1: for your small ass mind to wake up and be like, 1345 01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,320 Speaker 1: oh damn, maybe I need to stop tripping on trans 1346 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,599 Speaker 1: people because I have bigger problems, got bigger problems, because 1347 01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:06,160 Speaker 1: that's not a trans problem. 1348 01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,280 Speaker 2: Being deported is not a trans problem. 1349 01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 1: Trans people could just as easily write the same fucking 1350 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,479 Speaker 1: message about you when some bad shit happened to black people. Hey, 1351 01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,880 Speaker 1: cops killing a black man for selling lucy cigarettes not 1352 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 1: a trans problem. Fuck them Blacks. What democrats need to 1353 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,040 Speaker 1: do is get on this gender affirmation surgery. That's what 1354 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,840 Speaker 1: the fuck they could be saying. But that's not what 1355 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,880 Speaker 1: the big tent is. We all got our little fucking 1356 01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 1: ving diagram, and everybody a little circle overlap, just a 1357 01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,639 Speaker 1: little bit. And what I'm writing, what I'm saying here 1358 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,720 Speaker 1: is concentrate on that overlap, because that is what can 1359 01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 1: bring us together. You know. Uh, it's that Fannie Lou Hammer. 1360 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,240 Speaker 1: Your freedom is shackled and chain the mind. That's that's 1361 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 1: what it is. And so I find your selfishness to 1362 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:59,880 Speaker 1: be defeatist and short sighted and limited, because your selfishness 1363 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 1: is literally stopping that next person from getting their freedom 1364 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,160 Speaker 1: and then keeping you from getting your own. I find 1365 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:11,439 Speaker 1: it stupid. Two, we also have to take a different 1366 01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:13,720 Speaker 1: line on immigration. The majority of Americans are not pro 1367 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,000 Speaker 1: open borders and feel invaded. Democrats have to change the 1368 01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 1: rhetoric about this, not to be as extreme as Trump, 1369 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,879 Speaker 1: but the moves in the middle of this, Democrats are 1370 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 1: are already doing that. Listen like, you sound like a 1371 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 1: person that listens to a lot of Republican or you 1372 01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,599 Speaker 1: listen to a lot of the big bubbles. That's what 1373 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,720 Speaker 1: you sound like. Because the big bubbles Republicans will line 1374 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 1: and tell you Democrats that want open borders and know 1375 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,080 Speaker 1: that's not true. That's not how Biden governed. That's definitely 1376 01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,679 Speaker 1: not how Obama governed. So that those things are not true. 1377 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:48,320 Speaker 1: They had an immigration bill that Trump shot down. Yes, 1378 01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:52,040 Speaker 1: so you have accepted the Trump lies as your new truth, 1379 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:53,720 Speaker 1: and then you right up here with this bullshit to 1380 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,160 Speaker 1: us people that don't share these same set off facts 1381 01:11:56,160 --> 01:12:00,280 Speaker 1: with you because they're not true, and they have and 1382 01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:04,040 Speaker 1: Democrats do talk about immigration just because they're like, hey, 1383 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,680 Speaker 1: we should have a program for dreamers or naturalized immigration 1384 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,880 Speaker 1: or whatever, does not mean that they're just like open 1385 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:11,000 Speaker 1: border guys. Come on in. 1386 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,920 Speaker 2: No one is asking Democrats to change their platform on 1387 01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 2: black people. 1388 01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: Of course not. You don't want that. Of course you don't. 1389 01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,400 Speaker 1: Why would you want that? You're selfish. You want them 1390 01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:23,680 Speaker 1: to change it on everything else. A large majority of 1391 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:25,639 Speaker 1: people are asking to change their platform on these other 1392 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,719 Speaker 1: two things. You said I was selfish for worrying about 1393 01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,000 Speaker 1: black people first, Well I am, that's just what I'll 1394 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,200 Speaker 1: be good. Then I'm gonna stop reading this cause fuck 1395 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,479 Speaker 1: your selfish ass. How about that. Now I'm gonna be 1396 01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,439 Speaker 1: selfish to move on my podcast and don't write up 1397 01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:40,439 Speaker 1: here again. Damn h How I use it from Channel 1398 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:45,080 Speaker 1: niggas Pdr says, I like how Karen mentioned the value 1399 01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,479 Speaker 1: of passport. I got my first passport when a friend 1400 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,640 Speaker 1: invited me to Mexico. Eight months later, I lost my 1401 01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 1: passport while. 1402 01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 2: Bar hopping their home. When I got another passport. 1403 01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,240 Speaker 1: I was close to my adult kid's birthday, so I 1404 01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,800 Speaker 1: got a passport for her too, in case in case 1405 01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,640 Speaker 1: a friend of hers randomly advice her to travel out 1406 01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,920 Speaker 1: the country. Now, I think a passport is a great 1407 01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,360 Speaker 1: gift for a child. Niece nephew graduated from high school 1408 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,040 Speaker 1: of college. They're expensive with nice. Aye, it is. 1409 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,000 Speaker 5: And I've said this years ago and I will continue 1410 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:14,519 Speaker 5: to say. This passport will eventually be the required form 1411 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:15,520 Speaker 5: of identification. 1412 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:17,720 Speaker 3: I want to flat say that. 1413 01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,040 Speaker 5: And the biggest reason why I'm pushing that because with 1414 01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:23,360 Speaker 5: the new IDs, the easiest way to get one is 1415 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 5: with a passport. So a lot of people are either 1416 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,280 Speaker 5: going to have to go through the problem having fourteen 1417 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,520 Speaker 5: pieces of identification, or either they gonna have to sacrifice 1418 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 5: and pay for a passport so they can go, hear, 1419 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 5: my passport, yay, yay, and y'all can move on with 1420 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:37,719 Speaker 5: y'all lives, because you know, you have to consistently renew 1421 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,240 Speaker 5: these things they have to keep coming up. And also, 1422 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 5: I think eventually, if fucking Trump have his way, eventually 1423 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,479 Speaker 5: when it asks for your ID, a passport is gonna 1424 01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 5: be required. They'd be like, won't go fuck about that. 1425 01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 5: Do you got an American issue passport? We need to 1426 01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:52,080 Speaker 5: be sure that you actually hear like you say you're 1427 01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,719 Speaker 5: supposed to be here. I'm opening up my third eye 1428 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,320 Speaker 5: because I'm like, they want you to have background checks, 1429 01:13:58,360 --> 01:13:59,839 Speaker 5: you know, cause they want to get rid of legals. 1430 01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:01,280 Speaker 5: So they're gonna be like, did you go through the 1431 01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,120 Speaker 5: proper process, did you show your documentation? Like you know, 1432 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,720 Speaker 5: people's names and ship like like not matching this ship 1433 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:08,200 Speaker 5: like that. I'm like, oh, this is going to be 1434 01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:11,960 Speaker 5: a problem. So in my mind, eventually it's gonna be 1435 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,519 Speaker 5: a required form of ID. 1436 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,920 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, we'll see about all that. I think a 1437 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,200 Speaker 1: passport is very useful and valuable if you have, if 1438 01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:24,600 Speaker 1: you can afford to get one, I would suggest you 1439 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:28,840 Speaker 1: get it, not under the dire circumstances that Karen is saying. 1440 01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:30,719 Speaker 1: I just don't find it to be kind of convenient. 1441 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 1: And uh, I don't you know. I feel like once 1442 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:36,840 Speaker 1: we get to the point where they're asking you to 1443 01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:40,320 Speaker 1: show your passport, I think it's not gonna matter. If 1444 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 1: they decide you can't be in this country, you just 1445 01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 1: ain't gonna be in this country. I don't think it's 1446 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,680 Speaker 1: gonna matter. You got your passport and all that shit. 1447 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,600 Speaker 1: They'gna be like you black, ain't you get the fuck out? No, 1448 01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:50,479 Speaker 1: don't be agreeing. I'm disagreeing with you. 1449 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:53,200 Speaker 5: You just said the opposite. I didn't say they ever 1450 01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 5: gonna honor it and say you were right. I just 1451 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,680 Speaker 5: said it gonna make it, might have. 1452 01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:58,320 Speaker 2: It, then you might as well not even have It's 1453 01:14:58,360 --> 01:14:58,719 Speaker 2: my point. 1454 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 1: I also don't think it's that difficult to go to 1455 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,679 Speaker 1: the DMV with some other paperwork. Is I just think 1456 01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,200 Speaker 1: the passport is the most convenient, Like it's just it's 1457 01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 1: the easiest one. But it ain't hard. Like I could 1458 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:14,160 Speaker 1: have got my real ID without my passport. It was 1459 01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,120 Speaker 1: like two other pieces of paper or some shit. It's 1460 01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,280 Speaker 1: not like you don't need a lot of paper.

Like, I feel like some people are helping 1493 01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,320 Speaker 1: him out in the way he's not helping himself. And 1494 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:01,519 Speaker 1: when you're the lead, you need to be the one 1495 01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,080 Speaker 1: communicating a message that would make me understand what you 1496 01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,800 Speaker 1: just did and what he's been doing on this week 1497 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,479 Speaker 1: long talk circuit that he's been going on trying to 1498 01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 1: sell his book that he can't even now do a 1499 01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 1: tour about because people are so unhappy with him.

Jason says, 1502 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,080 Speaker 1: no doubt the conservative podcast Dominus is depressing. The thing 1503 01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: about the liberal podcast they always say stuff like we 1504 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,559 Speaker 1: all know Trump is bad, it should go without saying, 1505 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna need you to go 1506 01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 1: ahead and say it.

A 1619 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,559 Speaker 1: lot of us have, especially about self evaluation. You know, 1620 01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:20,240 Speaker 1: it's like every time someone tells us to write an 1621 01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:23,280 Speaker 1: excerpt about our podcast, and it's like, can you write 1622 01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 1: your own profile about it? And I'm like, I don't 1623 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 1: even know what to say. We've done so much stuff, 1624 01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,120 Speaker 1: but I feel weird. Saying like Ryan and Karen are 1625 01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,479 Speaker 1: married Southern couple that has been one podcast was like 1626 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,519 Speaker 1: it feels weird, right. So there's that, But then there's 1627 01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,759 Speaker 1: this other part that is very real, which is corporate 1628 01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 1: structures and double speak and bullshit. Yes, So I'm trying 1629 01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,200 Speaker 1: to figure out what is real and what is just 1630 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 1: people's inner voice. So that's why when you started agreeing 1631 01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 1: like yeah, no one, they said, no one gets see expectations. 1632 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, is that a thing that happened or is 1633 01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,479 Speaker 1: that a thing you think is the thing that happens. 1634 01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,559 Speaker 1: So they said, no one gets to see most people don't. 1635 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:03,840 Speaker 3: They was like, if you get it, you're going somewhere else. 1636 01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:06,080 Speaker 1: Like because I thought you also had told me that 1637 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,960 Speaker 1: you have put exceed expectations on things before, and they 1638 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,800 Speaker 1: agree with you. Yes, But so I feel like, if 1639 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 1: no one is supposed to put that, why wouldn't they 1640 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,920 Speaker 1: have told you No, Karen, we told you earlier you 1641 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:19,639 Speaker 1: don't get to say exceed. We don't give a fuck 1642 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,439 Speaker 1: if you came in early, if you worked sixty hours. 1643 01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 2: We told you no one gets that. So you're wrong. 1644 01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:26,240 Speaker 1: Take that off. 1645 01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 5: No. The thing is, it's it's a bunch of shit, 1646 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:30,960 Speaker 5: and you put exceeds most of them. 1647 01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 3: I put meat, right. 1648 01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,720 Speaker 5: There's a handful I put exceed, But this will be 1649 01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,200 Speaker 5: somebody will put exceed for every single solitary category, Like like. 1650 01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:42,720 Speaker 1: All right, but who I don't mean even a dick, 1651 01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 1: But who the fuck would do that? That wasn't full 1652 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 1: of shit? Like I'm not saying people do that, right, 1653 01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 1: but that don't. So it's the employee always right. What 1654 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,200 Speaker 1: are we saying here? Because like I feel like if 1655 01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,719 Speaker 1: if you put exceed expectations for every part of your job, 1656 01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:00,439 Speaker 1: I would be like, what the fuck did you think 1657 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 1: the expectations were? 1658 01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 3: Yes, Sarah, Yeah that's coming in bus day, bubba gonna ay. 1659 01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:07,839 Speaker 1: So like cause like we've only been on the workers 1660 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,360 Speaker 1: side this time, and I agree, I understand, but like, 1661 01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 1: is there no such thing as that we don't all 1662 01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,080 Speaker 1: have a delusional coworker where it's like this bitch thing 1663 01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,479 Speaker 1: she got earth to gift of the earth. 1664 01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,280 Speaker 3: Yes, we do, Like I. 1665 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:25,400 Speaker 1: Anyway, I I hear what y'all saying. I think it's 1666 01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,479 Speaker 1: just more of an anxiety thing though, Like I don't 1667 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: want to have to think about how good or bad 1668 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:32,640 Speaker 1: of a job. I want you to come in and 1669 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,080 Speaker 1: do your job and just tell me right. But I 1670 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:36,840 Speaker 1: think some of it's turning into. 1671 01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:38,519 Speaker 3: Like you make me do your job. 1672 01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:42,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like that's what the rejection is not necessary, 1673 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:46,080 Speaker 1: Like I think self evaluation is actually pretty healthy. I'm 1674 01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 1: sure there's people that came up with this at the 1675 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 1: company that weren't trying to fuck everybody over. They were like, 1676 01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,920 Speaker 1: they were like, you know what would help? I guarante 1677 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,320 Speaker 1: this is why I'm saying. I guarantee you what a 1678 01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:02,680 Speaker 1: self evaluation came from was somebody getting a bad evaluation 1679 01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,439 Speaker 1: and saying I should be able to evaluate my fucking 1680 01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:07,640 Speaker 1: self so that when we come to this meeting, I 1681 01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:11,519 Speaker 1: have something to say too. And now everyone's doing it. 1682 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,280 Speaker 1: It's like, fuck this, I don't like, this is not 1683 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:16,360 Speaker 1: changing anything, But I guarantee you self valuation and come 1684 01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:18,599 Speaker 1: out of nowhere because I remember being in corporate America 1685 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,080 Speaker 1: and having these meetings without a self evaluation and being like, 1686 01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:25,280 Speaker 1: what the fuck? I feel blind sided, Whereas if I 1687 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,120 Speaker 1: went in with my self evaluation, I can at least 1688 01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:32,519 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, you're saying this, here's what I'm saying anyway, Yeah. 1689 01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,360 Speaker 5: I get it, and everything's and I understand that perspective, 1690 01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,439 Speaker 5: and everything's documented and everything you know too through people 1691 01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:41,800 Speaker 5: look like your manager looks at a supervisor looks at it, 1692 01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:43,559 Speaker 5: HR looks at it, everybody looks at it. 1693 01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 3: Then I get that you. 1694 01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,519 Speaker 1: Don't like it. But I'm trying to figure out how 1695 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:51,679 Speaker 1: much of the not like it is just anxiety about 1696 01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,800 Speaker 1: evaluating yourself, and how much of it is literally like 1697 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,639 Speaker 1: it just don't matter what you put, period. They don't 1698 01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,439 Speaker 1: give a fuck because I I ask. 1699 01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 3: You specific questions ninety five. 1700 01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:06,240 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I asked you specific questions during that segment, 1701 01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,639 Speaker 1: and I was checking to see what the answers were. 1702 01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:12,040 Speaker 1: And when you said sometimes you do put exceeds expectations 1703 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:16,160 Speaker 1: and when you put it they agree with you, I went, okay. 1704 01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:19,120 Speaker 1: So then I'm glad they did the self evaluation because 1705 01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:21,439 Speaker 1: you would not do that. You would never walk in 1706 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:24,519 Speaker 1: anyone's office and tell them I'm exceeding expectations. You would 1707 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,479 Speaker 1: never do that, and only in that format would you 1708 01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 1: advocate for yourself. 1709 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:29,240 Speaker 3: That's it. 1710 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:31,720 Speaker 2: You would just go to work and you wouldn't do shit. 1711 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:33,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, So like I don't. 1712 01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:34,160 Speaker 4: So. 1713 01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm forced to. 1714 01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:40,280 Speaker 1: So I don't know what other people do with their jobs, 1715 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:41,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know how they do their jobs. But 1716 01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:45,519 Speaker 1: like part like, to me, that's a sign that it 1717 01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,800 Speaker 1: is working to an extent, even if you don't like it, 1718 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,360 Speaker 1: like it's still I'm not saying yah, I like it. 1719 01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,360 Speaker 1: But like if you would have told me, well, no, 1720 01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:56,320 Speaker 1: I don't put exceeds expectation. I just don't want to 1721 01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:59,840 Speaker 1: stick out. I just put meets expectation for everything, then 1722 01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:01,639 Speaker 1: I would be like, okay, yeah, I can see your point, 1723 01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:04,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But when you're like no, sometimes I 1724 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:06,800 Speaker 1: go above me on and I put that down, I'm 1725 01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:10,000 Speaker 1: like good because if not, you would never go into 1726 01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,599 Speaker 1: an office. You would never ask for a raise, you wouldn't. 1727 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:16,360 Speaker 1: You would never say I expect more better treatment. You 1728 01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:18,439 Speaker 1: would never do that. You would just get a check 1729 01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,280 Speaker 1: and then you would go home and you just would 1730 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,160 Speaker 1: not think about it again. But if you're doing more 1731 01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:25,680 Speaker 1: or you complain about it, I'm doing more work than 1732 01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be doing and no one's acknowledging me. 1733 01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,200 Speaker 1: But then you have to acknowledge it yourself and then 1734 01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:33,800 Speaker 1: put that in writing and then go meet with your 1735 01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 1: manager and say yeah, I did put that down, and 1736 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 1: then for them to have to say yeah, you did 1737 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,800 Speaker 1: do that. That was never going to happen without self evaluation. 1738 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:46,800 Speaker 1: So I'm not really against self evaluation. 1739 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:51,200 Speaker 5: Now that now that particular statement, that is a true 1740 01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:56,280 Speaker 5: statement because I think for me I do. 1741 01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,080 Speaker 3: I get in my own mind. I get it in 1742 01:28:58,160 --> 01:28:59,160 Speaker 3: my own head, and. 1743 01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:03,599 Speaker 5: It's like I think, for me, it's huge anxiety because 1744 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:06,600 Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, now you're making me have to I 1745 01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:09,520 Speaker 5: don't say, dude. And it also depends on your personality 1746 01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 5: that you have. You know some people. I'm a brag 1747 01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:13,160 Speaker 5: by myself, but I'm like. 1748 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,080 Speaker 1: Hey, I don't know these other people. I know you, yes, 1749 01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:17,800 Speaker 1: And I know that was the point you made, and 1750 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna know, but you on the show for 1751 01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,440 Speaker 1: your banter. But now that it's coming up in the feedback, 1752 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:25,679 Speaker 1: and I'm sure it's gonna be a lot more people writing, 1753 01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:29,679 Speaker 1: then I'm not really against this, especially when it comes 1754 01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:33,080 Speaker 1: to women, because women almost I mean, we know for 1755 01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,559 Speaker 1: a fact women do not advocate for themselves at work. 1756 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,360 Speaker 1: They don't go in for the raise, they don't negotiate 1757 01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:42,920 Speaker 1: the job or the salary. They don't they don't push. 1758 01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:46,880 Speaker 1: They like, if anything, they feel eky for pushing, Like 1759 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:50,200 Speaker 1: I hate this. You're gonna make me have to say 1760 01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,599 Speaker 1: that I did a good job, Like yeah, you should 1761 01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:53,920 Speaker 1: say you did a good job. 1762 01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,479 Speaker 5: If you did a good job, yeah, and and and 1763 01:29:57,400 --> 01:30:00,320 Speaker 5: maybe I had to be like this, I personally think. 1764 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:02,360 Speaker 5: I know some people will be like that no matter what, 1765 01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:05,679 Speaker 5: but I really think society as a whole has failed 1766 01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:10,320 Speaker 5: us because you know, when it comes to that, most 1767 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,519 Speaker 5: women are kind of taught to kind of put themselves 1768 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:14,920 Speaker 5: and everything, and I think that comes out in these evaluations. 1769 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:16,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you have men that don't know. 1770 01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:18,439 Speaker 5: Shit will swing, they dick and be like, I get 1771 01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:20,479 Speaker 5: all the raisers, you just gonna respect me.

But what 1789 01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,000 Speaker 1: difference does it make. At least Karen's job actually works 1790 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:15,880 Speaker 1: to improve conditions. I've never experienced that. Apia says that 1791 01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:18,720 Speaker 1: Jonathan Majors always worried about his girlfriend or wife as 1792 01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:21,040 Speaker 1: they seem to be married. Now she went all in on. 1793 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,639 Speaker 1: He's a great guy and just misunderstood. Should she experience 1794 01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:27,040 Speaker 1: some of his aggressions, she would be even less likely 1795 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,320 Speaker 1: to admit it because everyone will say, we told you so, 1796 01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:32,400 Speaker 1: Why did you even get with him? It's classical woman 1797 01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:37,439 Speaker 1: savior trap. Yeah, good luck to Meghan Majors is she? 1798 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,200 Speaker 1: I won't to know what did she change her name? 1799 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:41,200 Speaker 1: I don't even know what they really got married. They 1800 01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:43,000 Speaker 1: said it was like they jumped the broom in the 1801 01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:44,680 Speaker 1: living room in front of their parents. I'm like, I 1802 01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:48,400 Speaker 1: don't even know. Just so happened? Yeah, it just so 1803 01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:51,719 Speaker 1: happened at the same time that this leak came out. Anyway, 1804 01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,839 Speaker 1: Sean says as an educator and research of the research 1805 01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:57,519 Speaker 1: shows that an education low performance students tend to inflate 1806 01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,720 Speaker 1: their self evaluations and high performing students to deflate their 1807 01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:03,880 Speaker 1: self evaluations. From a business perspective, if the research on 1808 01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 1: the educational self evaluation carries over the business self evaluation, 1809 01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:10,839 Speaker 1: if anyone took self evaluation seriously, they would help elevate 1810 01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:15,280 Speaker 1: the less qualified and suppressed exceptional employees. Nev says self 1811 01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:19,000 Speaker 1: evaluations aren't allowed by my union contract because they're pretty 1812 01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:21,760 Speaker 1: unfair and inaccurate. Many people who are high performers tend 1813 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 1: to devalue that. That's what Sean just said, devalue the 1814 01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:26,240 Speaker 1: work and vice versa. There's no sense in letting that 1815 01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,120 Speaker 1: skew things like your pay. Yeah, and that's what I'm 1816 01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:32,799 Speaker 1: That's what I find interesting is like, is Karen Erica 1817 01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:39,160 Speaker 1: and Shoe Boody are they adverse to these evaluations because 1818 01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,920 Speaker 1: they are good performers or higher work and they and 1819 01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:46,200 Speaker 1: they're downplaying their shit. They're like, well, nobody gets a 1820 01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:49,679 Speaker 1: gets exceeding expectation, so let me just not say I'm 1821 01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,439 Speaker 1: doing that, as opposed to like, no, if you did, 1822 01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:55,960 Speaker 1: you did fuck what they said? They don't them come 1823 01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,960 Speaker 1: in this room. And maybe that's just my mind, but 1824 01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,640 Speaker 1: come in this room and make me prove that I'm not. 1825 01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:04,960 Speaker 1: If I'm I'm not saying I'm alive, but if I'm 1826 01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,880 Speaker 1: exceeding expectations, I'm not gonna not tell you I'm exceeding expectations. 1827 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:10,840 Speaker 1: If you told me the job is from eight to 1828 01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,559 Speaker 1: five and I'm leaving this bitch at six, that happened. 1829 01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:17,679 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna trick myself into being like, well, 1830 01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 1: fuck me, man, that's just part of job. Now. I'm 1831 01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:23,479 Speaker 1: doing more than you told me to do. If you say, hey, 1832 01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:25,960 Speaker 1: the goal was to do five hundred invoices a month, 1833 01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:30,360 Speaker 1: and I'm doing seven hundred, I'm exceeding expectations. That's that's 1834 01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:34,000 Speaker 1: a fact, like we we don't have to doesn't mean 1835 01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a thirty seven percent raised, but it 1836 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:39,559 Speaker 1: might be I'm putting I'm putting exceeded on this fucking 1837 01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,960 Speaker 1: sheet for this. That's just me. Though, not to mention women, 1838 01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:45,920 Speaker 1: A certain minorities of people with anxiety tend to be 1839 01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,439 Speaker 1: harder on themselves. I wish less people had to do 1840 01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:52,439 Speaker 1: self advisal scam. Yeah, it's seem like I said, I 1841 01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:56,040 Speaker 1: just take a step back real quick and ask yourself this, 1842 01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:01,400 Speaker 1: why do we have the self value now? We didn't 1843 01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,639 Speaker 1: always have them, And I'm guessing that you're gonna arrive 1844 01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:09,040 Speaker 1: at some point that not having them was even worse 1845 01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:12,439 Speaker 1: than having them. That's my guess. A lot of people 1846 01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:14,960 Speaker 1: were like, when I didn't have them, I also didn't 1847 01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,720 Speaker 1: get a raise, but also I didn't really know how 1848 01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:19,240 Speaker 1: the fucking good I was doing it, and when I 1849 01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:24,040 Speaker 1: did above me on, it wasn't acknowledged because the managers 1850 01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,559 Speaker 1: need you to acknowledge it now so that they can 1851 01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:31,519 Speaker 1: acknowledge it. I think that because most people won't go 1852 01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:35,559 Speaker 1: into that meeting and truly go, like without that self 1853 01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:39,240 Speaker 1: evaluation prompt, will truly go in there and go I 1854 01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:44,160 Speaker 1: did more invoices than y'all said, and that means something. Yeah, 1855 01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,120 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You're hoping that your manager 1856 01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:48,400 Speaker 1: picks up on it. But what if they don't that's true? 1857 01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:50,680 Speaker 1: What are they just not that good a manager? Don't 1858 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,640 Speaker 1: give a fucking They just like, yeah, so mes expectations. 1859 01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:55,559 Speaker 1: Everything you did was fine, you still got a job, 1860 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,920 Speaker 1: a two percent raise. By it's like, nah, let's talk 1861 01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:02,040 Speaker 1: about it. So I don't know. It's it is difficult, 1862 01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:04,599 Speaker 1: and I do understand as a personal anxiety too. I 1863 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:08,880 Speaker 1: just think, hmm, I've made my case. I just said 1864 01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:10,719 Speaker 1: we have self value. 1865 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:13,320 Speaker 5: I just think that, you know, you just need to 1866 01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:17,760 Speaker 5: advocate more for yourself and and and and and. 1867 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:23,280 Speaker 1: Which no one, not no one. Most people don't do. 1868 01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 3: That's true. 1869 01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:28,200 Speaker 1: You and I noticed we're talking about you at this point. 1870 01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:29,400 Speaker 1: You were not doing that. 1871 01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:32,920 Speaker 2: This is the only way you're going to advocate for yourself. 1872 01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:34,720 Speaker 3: True because I was forced to. 1873 01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:40,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, the thing because because I was kind of forced to, 1874 01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,200 Speaker 5: and I don't know, you know what that says about me. 1875 01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:45,240 Speaker 3: But you know, I'm like, can't I just get my 1876 01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:47,880 Speaker 3: paycheck go home? And they like, no, we need for 1877 01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,680 Speaker 3: It's almost like tell us about yourself. It's like, well, 1878 01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:53,080 Speaker 3: I'm me. There's like, no, that's not sufficient. 1879 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know, man. I get. I get people 1880 01:35:57,280 --> 01:35:58,760 Speaker 1: just don't want to be bothered. They just want that 1881 01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:00,600 Speaker 1: check and they just want to go home. I get that, 1882 01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:03,760 Speaker 1: but I don't know, man. Self evaluation is the one 1883 01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,280 Speaker 1: time of year where you're allowed to advocate for yourself. 1884 01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:12,600 Speaker 1: So I don't want to hear. I don't want to 1885 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:15,880 Speaker 1: hear that even this is bad. You know what I'm saying, 1886 01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:20,840 Speaker 1: Rod really is a man that self advocations for a 1887 01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:23,599 Speaker 1: black woman is hard. I'm not saying. I know I'm 1888 01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:26,040 Speaker 1: a man. I know I got male privileged. I know 1889 01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:29,080 Speaker 1: it's hard. But that's kind of why I'm with the 1890 01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:34,679 Speaker 1: self evaluation cause it's a non confrontational way to do it. 1891 01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:35,880 Speaker 1: All of us have to do it. 1892 01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:37,280 Speaker 3: It's a non confrontational way. 1893 01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,000 Speaker 1: We all roll our eyes at it. And if you 1894 01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:43,120 Speaker 1: really are feeling like you are being because you know 1895 01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:47,320 Speaker 1: what else is is true. It's like how many black 1896 01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,919 Speaker 1: women feel like they not appreciate it at their jobs. 1897 01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:53,160 Speaker 1: You know how many people will come home and complain 1898 01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,800 Speaker 1: about how much they do and then change nothing, be 1899 01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:59,320 Speaker 1: miserable at work every fucking day, or. 1900 01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:01,280 Speaker 3: Just leaving nobody knows why they left. 1901 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:07,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's worth. I don't know. I 1902 01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:10,280 Speaker 1: could see if y'all were saying like it was better 1903 01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:13,639 Speaker 1: the other way, But all I'm seeing is people being 1904 01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,360 Speaker 1: fucked in silence the other way, And in this way, 1905 01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:18,240 Speaker 1: you got a slight chance to be like, no, I 1906 01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:22,519 Speaker 1: did do a good job, that's it. I don't you know, 1907 01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:24,320 Speaker 1: if they gonna give you three percent. They're gonna give 1908 01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:26,080 Speaker 1: you three percent. It's not you know, I can nothing 1909 01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:29,760 Speaker 1: I can change about that. But like, the idea is 1910 01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:34,960 Speaker 1: not a bad idea. Corporate culture is fucked up, so 1911 01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:38,440 Speaker 1: it could be other things, but you know, this corporation 1912 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:41,439 Speaker 1: you're working for now is actually pretty positive, it is, 1913 01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, So I don't I don't, you know, at 1914 01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:47,720 Speaker 1: that point, it just becomes about you. And that's and 1915 01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,439 Speaker 1: this isn't being my own brain. Yeah yeah, this isn't 1916 01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:57,639 Speaker 1: me saying like I don't give a fuck black women. Uh, 1917 01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:01,240 Speaker 1: y'all done for not advocating for yourselves whatever other shit. 1918 01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like black women don't advocate for themselves, 1919 01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 1: even with them being excellent at jobs, being better at 1920 01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:13,599 Speaker 1: jobs and all that stuff. There needs to be a solution. 1921 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, So what's the solution, y'all? 1922 01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:19,559 Speaker 1: Because if it's not, you got to speak up for 1923 01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:22,280 Speaker 1: yourself in some type of format that's non confrontational like 1924 01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,920 Speaker 1: these evaluations. I don't know that. I don't know what 1925 01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:27,479 Speaker 1: it is because you don't want to walk into no 1926 01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:30,960 Speaker 1: one's office and do it and they're never gonna recognize 1927 01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:33,600 Speaker 1: you because they're just good fucking people and they you know, 1928 01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:36,559 Speaker 1: I realize today like that you're put it this way, 1929 01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:41,320 Speaker 1: that can happen, but you're at the whims of having 1930 01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 1: a good boss or no, whereas the evaluation is not. 1931 01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:47,439 Speaker 1: There's no whims to that. That's me, baby, I did 1932 01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,759 Speaker 1: more than you told me to do, and I would 1933 01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:52,400 Speaker 1: like to be compensated or at least acknowledged that I'm 1934 01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:55,920 Speaker 1: doing that. That's it, And the last thing I'll say 1935 01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:58,960 Speaker 1: is I'm still a nigga. I've been in corporate America. 1936 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,600 Speaker 1: Y'all have held me talking about corporate America. I was 1937 01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,240 Speaker 1: not no mover in climber. I fucking hated corporate America. 1938 01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:08,000 Speaker 1: I was depressed. I did not have any goals. I 1939 01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:10,360 Speaker 1: was the kind of person that was like, I don't 1940 01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:12,360 Speaker 1: want to go in the office and ask for a raise. 1941 01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,640 Speaker 1: So I'm not telling you anything that didn't affect me, like, 1942 01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what. Maybe because you hear this podcast 1943 01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,080 Speaker 1: and it's our opinions, you feel a certain way. But 1944 01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,680 Speaker 1: you can look at my fucking pictures from working in 1945 01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:25,840 Speaker 1: corporate America. I hated that shit. I was not a 1946 01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:27,640 Speaker 1: guy that walked into the office and said I'm a 1947 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:31,320 Speaker 1: man and I would like five percent raise please. I 1948 01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,880 Speaker 1: was a walking to the office and they just don't 1949 01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:38,599 Speaker 1: fire me for my evaluation. I go, thank God Jesus, 1950 01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:42,400 Speaker 1: that was it. So I'm not telling y'all anything I 1951 01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:44,679 Speaker 1: didn't experience. So let's not try to turn it into 1952 01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 1: some weird old shit like I just I'm just a 1953 01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:51,240 Speaker 1: try to be fair of everybody in the situation, and 1954 01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:54,760 Speaker 1: especially with Karen. I'm like, I know that from experience, 1955 01:39:55,439 --> 01:40:01,520 Speaker 1: you have anxiety about praising yourself. I do praising yourself. 1956 01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:05,200 Speaker 1: You have anxiety about stuff you earned. Yes, no, like 1957 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,960 Speaker 1: no one can stop you from you did that work. 1958 01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:10,920 Speaker 1: You should get that thing. And it's like, I don't 1959 01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:14,519 Speaker 1: want to be a problem, right the self evaluation might 1960 01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:17,640 Speaker 1: be the only way for Karen to do that, And 1961 01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even when you hate it. Sometimes 1962 01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:22,120 Speaker 1: you have to do things you hate. 1963 01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:25,080 Speaker 5: You do, yeah, you do, and every time I just 1964 01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:28,000 Speaker 5: push through it. And you know, it's one of those 1965 01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:30,439 Speaker 5: things where I do keep a tracking things like that. 1966 01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:33,240 Speaker 5: And also one good thing about it, because it's not 1967 01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:35,360 Speaker 5: all bad. One good thing about it is that it 1968 01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:39,920 Speaker 5: forces you to reflect, because sometimes you're just doing doing 1969 01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:42,800 Speaker 5: doing doom and you might not reflect. You picked up 1970 01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,000 Speaker 5: a responsibility or two, or you was asked to pick 1971 01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:49,120 Speaker 5: up an extra task or two, or all of a 1972 01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,880 Speaker 5: sudden you learn something else in the system, or you 1973 01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:55,280 Speaker 5: learn something new in the system, or you got a 1974 01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:58,960 Speaker 5: Foremost certification, or you know, you know, you're kind of 1975 01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:00,920 Speaker 5: doing the same thing, but you went from a regular 1976 01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:03,400 Speaker 5: person to a lead or something like that. Like like 1977 01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:06,680 Speaker 5: small changes, but they all changes. And this gives you 1978 01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:10,040 Speaker 5: a chance to actually sit down in your thoughts and 1979 01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:13,320 Speaker 5: write the things out. The thing is, like you say, 1980 01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:17,920 Speaker 5: it is a non confrontational way to get out your 1981 01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:23,720 Speaker 5: achievements without you having to deal with looking somebody in 1982 01:41:23,720 --> 01:41:25,559 Speaker 5: the eye and things like that. Yeah, they're gonna read 1983 01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:28,400 Speaker 5: your words, but that's very, very different. 1984 01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:30,840 Speaker 1: And I guarantee you the self evaluation was the result 1985 01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:33,760 Speaker 1: of somebody's hard work trying to solve this problem. They 1986 01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:35,840 Speaker 1: didn't just wake up and go, how do I fuck 1987 01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:38,040 Speaker 1: everybody over there? They were like, how do I make 1988 01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:40,439 Speaker 1: it a better environment? You know? It's the people. 1989 01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:43,439 Speaker 2: It's like people that complain about like. 1990 01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:46,559 Speaker 1: All this di training. Why we got to do all 1991 01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,080 Speaker 1: this training about black people and women and gay people 1992 01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:50,800 Speaker 1: and shit. Just I just want to come to work 1993 01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:53,800 Speaker 1: and go home it's like, because somebody else's job at 1994 01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:56,960 Speaker 1: your job is to make that training because they think 1995 01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,040 Speaker 1: it will improve the workplace. That's why I happen on 1996 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:01,800 Speaker 1: self evaluation. They were like, look, people don't feel heard. 1997 01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:05,120 Speaker 1: People feel ambushed. They don't know what we're gonna talk 1998 01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:06,240 Speaker 1: about in these valuations. 1999 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 5: People feel shocked. And I guess yeah, and and and 2000 01:42:08,479 --> 01:42:10,200 Speaker 5: and and and that makes sense. They did say that. 2001 01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:12,679 Speaker 5: They was like, hey, people feel We don't want people 2002 01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,400 Speaker 5: feel blindsided. That was that was the biggest thing. We 2003 01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:17,280 Speaker 5: want people to know kind of where. 2004 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:21,640 Speaker 1: They now, the corporate the corporate culture of it. I 2005 01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:25,960 Speaker 1: think this is just my what I'm feeling. My guess 2006 01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:32,599 Speaker 1: is maybe they when they say nobody meets or most 2007 01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:36,080 Speaker 1: people won't get exceeded expectations. I think what they're trying 2008 01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:40,439 Speaker 1: to say is a meats expectations is not bad. No, 2009 01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:43,599 Speaker 1: it's not which a lot of people I think do 2010 01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:46,800 Speaker 1: not feel that way. Like they might hear that, they 2011 01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:50,000 Speaker 1: might understand it intellectually, but it's like if you leave 2012 01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:53,519 Speaker 1: your evaluation and all you got was meets expectations, part 2013 01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:56,120 Speaker 1: of you feels like am I not doing a good job? 2014 01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:56,799 Speaker 3: Yes? 2015 01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,960 Speaker 1: And so I think what they're saying to y'all up front, 2016 01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:03,040 Speaker 1: because there's not a better way to say it is, Hey, 2017 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:07,040 Speaker 1: if you don't get exceeds expectations, it's okay. 2018 01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:09,160 Speaker 2: You're still safe, your job is fine. 2019 01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:12,439 Speaker 1: We don't think the one you don't want is didn't 2020 01:43:12,479 --> 01:43:15,800 Speaker 1: meet expectation. That's the one that's what you don't want. 2021 01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:19,679 Speaker 1: We think ninety five percent of y'all should get meats 2022 01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:22,920 Speaker 1: expectations if you're doing the shit right, and if you 2023 01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:26,040 Speaker 1: get and if you get exceeds, we want you to 2024 01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:28,839 Speaker 1: know that that's because you're in the top blank percent 2025 01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:32,040 Speaker 1: as people that are going above and beyond. Yes, and 2026 01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:34,960 Speaker 1: we are going and we are acknowledging that, and it 2027 01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:37,599 Speaker 1: will come across hopefully in your conversation or whatever. 2028 01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:38,200 Speaker 3: Right. 2029 01:43:38,439 --> 01:43:40,599 Speaker 1: I think that's what they have to say going in 2030 01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:43,200 Speaker 1: so that people because of anxiety. 2031 01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:46,439 Speaker 2: I just but it's just funny, because anxiety is so funny. 2032 01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:50,639 Speaker 1: It flips in your brain to meats expectations, ain't ship 2033 01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:54,000 Speaker 1: as opposed to being like, oh, mis expectation, that's good. 2034 01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:56,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, because you were like, well, if I'm to get 2035 01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:59,080 Speaker 3: a mes expectation, none, shit the fuck. 2036 01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:02,160 Speaker 1: It's funny romantics, but it's funny i'b just says they 2037 01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:04,040 Speaker 1: don't want to do it very often. Oh she said 2038 01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:08,880 Speaker 1: her last round she got exceeded expectations. They don't want 2039 01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:11,200 Speaker 1: to do it very often because that means paying more money. 2040 01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:13,679 Speaker 1: We have to. We have so so many systems here 2041 01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:15,559 Speaker 1: and my company is Swiss, so it's not even a 2042 01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:17,479 Speaker 1: German thing.

They was like, yeah, 2058 01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:59,080 Speaker 5: prior to once Trump got elected, they were saying, yeah, 2059 01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:02,080 Speaker 5: tourism drop because people was like, oh no, no, no, no, 2060 01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:04,439 Speaker 5: we were we remember last time, and we don't want 2061 01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:07,080 Speaker 5: to deal with with all the bullshit with the immigration 2062 01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:09,640 Speaker 5: and all those things.

When I worked at Corporate America, self evaluations 2075 01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,160 Speaker 1: pissed me off because no matter what you put, management 2076 01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:54,040 Speaker 1: already made up their minds a kind of employee that 2077 01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:56,840 Speaker 1: saw you as and how much they thought you were worth. 2078 01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,360 Speaker 1: I gave myself above averages all the time because I 2079 01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:01,320 Speaker 1: didn't murder the people who would get on my nerves, 2080 01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:02,559 Speaker 1: and I was proud of my restraint. 2081 01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,160 Speaker 2: I don't miss that shit at all. You were right 2082 01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:06,200 Speaker 2: about rbrey Rod. 2083 01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:09,400 Speaker 1: The Manu sphere is the only place he can retreat 2084 01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:12,400 Speaker 1: because even a lot of his white fans clowned the 2085 01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:14,439 Speaker 1: R and B album he made last month. 2086 01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:16,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, man, that shit came and win.

I don't think it even charted. 2090 01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:25,280 Speaker 1: It definitely charted because it's Drake, but I because I 2091 01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:29,000 Speaker 1: remember something like Drake has taken the number one song 2092 01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:32,640 Speaker 1: and then literally twenty four hours later, Kendrick had it back. 2093 01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:35,880 Speaker 2: And I was like, shit, he on his ass because 2094 01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:36,559 Speaker 2: Kendrick's song. 2095 01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:40,120 Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think it even charged da da da. 2096 01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:42,160 Speaker 1: At this point, I'm not sure if he will ever 2097 01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:43,880 Speaker 1: get back to where he once was. He may be 2098 01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:45,840 Speaker 1: able to make a couple hits in time, but he 2099 01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,639 Speaker 1: will never be on the top again. Yeah. I don't 2100 01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:51,000 Speaker 1: know what. Yeah, I don't worry about him coming back 2101 01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:52,880 Speaker 1: to the top, Like it's not my job to fix it. 2102 01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:55,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I don't see the path 2103 01:46:55,400 --> 01:47:00,439 Speaker 1: for him. Let's see comments on YouTube. He just says, 2104 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,200 Speaker 1: you're so right about those self evaluations. I don't miss them. 2105 01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:08,080 Speaker 1: Do y'all not see the irony that every person that's 2106 01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,760 Speaker 1: written and it has been a woman so far. I 2107 01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:12,599 Speaker 1: swear to God, I'm not cherry picking any of these, 2108 01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:15,599 Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, it's something. Yeah, women are like, y'all 2109 01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:18,559 Speaker 1: don't see it. Like I'm not saying it's easy to 2110 01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:20,720 Speaker 1: be a woman. I'm actually saying it's pretty difficult. But 2111 01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:24,680 Speaker 1: unless you make women do self evaluation, I really do 2112 01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:28,000 Speaker 1: wonder if they would even do it, and they already 2113 01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:30,160 Speaker 1: kind of seem to be downplaying doing it, Like, can 2114 01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:32,080 Speaker 1: we just not ever have to talk about how good 2115 01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:32,840 Speaker 1: a job I'm doing it? 2116 01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:35,479 Speaker 3: Can we never talk about how great I am at 2117 01:47:35,479 --> 01:47:39,360 Speaker 3: my job? Just pay me? But you're doing a great job. 2118 01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:43,280 Speaker 1: This is not a joke. Next person, Sherry, I appreciate 2119 01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:46,880 Speaker 1: Karen's hatred to self a vowals. I can't stand them myself. 2120 01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:49,800 Speaker 1: I say that as someone who helps organizations design the 2121 01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:53,400 Speaker 1: whole performance management process. So you you help to. 2122 01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:57,160 Speaker 5: Do it to make it, you help make the evaluations, 2123 01:47:57,200 --> 01:47:58,240 Speaker 5: and you're like fuck them. 2124 01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:00,960 Speaker 1: To make the process meaningful, you would need leaders who 2125 01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:04,120 Speaker 1: actually care about your career progression. That's facts, but you 2126 01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:06,200 Speaker 1: would need that whether you had to evaluate it or not. 2127 01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,960 Speaker 1: So I guess what you're saying is the evaluation just 2128 01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:14,200 Speaker 1: makes it an extra step. That's bullshit. So all right, 2129 01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:18,439 Speaker 1: uh EMK says, Oh yeah, I can attest if you 2130 01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:23,599 Speaker 1: put expectations because you and your job exceed expectations. Because 2131 01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:26,200 Speaker 1: you do and your job is really demanding and you 2132 01:48:26,240 --> 01:48:28,559 Speaker 1: do exceed expectations all the time, they will still put 2133 01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:31,240 Speaker 1: me expectations and they will talk to you about how 2134 01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:34,320 Speaker 1: you don't exceed expectations, and they'll think you don't have 2135 01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:37,360 Speaker 1: the ability to accurately evaluate things. It's kind of gross 2136 01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:39,559 Speaker 1: as a point goes as a point against you, jerks. 2137 01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:47,800 Speaker 1: That's another woman. By the way, women don't. 2138 01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:48,600 Speaker 3: Like seven evaluates. 2139 01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,920 Speaker 2: We're like six or seven. 2140 01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:54,519 Speaker 3: Don't make me talk about myself. 2141 01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:55,920 Speaker 1: Waiting on a dude to come in. I'm sure there's 2142 01:48:56,320 --> 01:49:00,760 Speaker 1: maybe no no dude anyway, big tone, says yo Rod. 2143 01:49:00,960 --> 01:49:04,559 Speaker 1: I never heard of this transgender person hunter Shaeffer. So 2144 01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:07,200 Speaker 1: I looked her up and fam, she looks like a woman. 2145 01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:11,160 Speaker 1: That's why I don't date older women with biological kids. Oh, 2146 01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:14,280 Speaker 1: that's why only date with older women with biological kids. 2147 01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:16,720 Speaker 1: Can't get caught slipping with Dayton rules like that you 2148 01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:19,639 Speaker 1: feel me, Actually I don't feel you, Big Tom. Here's 2149 01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:24,080 Speaker 1: why I don't feel you though. The idea is that, 2150 01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,160 Speaker 1: first of all, I think that's an insane thing to 2151 01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:30,880 Speaker 1: say that you're only dating older women with biological kids 2152 01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:34,960 Speaker 1: because you're so afraid someone might be trans. That's an 2153 01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:38,679 Speaker 1: insane thing to say to me, just because how would 2154 01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:41,400 Speaker 1: you let that amount of fear dominate your life that way? 2155 01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:44,960 Speaker 1: Not saying you have to prefer the data trans person 2156 01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:48,040 Speaker 1: or anything, I'm just saying that is a weird way 2157 01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:50,719 Speaker 1: to navigate life, Like, I better give me a fifty 2158 01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:52,920 Speaker 1: year old with six babies so I know what I'm 2159 01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:57,120 Speaker 1: getting into. That's the most important thing. I would never 2160 01:49:57,240 --> 01:49:59,880 Speaker 1: just trust that a woman has a vagina ever again. 2161 01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:04,360 Speaker 1: So that's one thing that's weird. The second thing that 2162 01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:07,120 Speaker 1: the reason I would say is weird to me is 2163 01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:08,880 Speaker 1: this idea that a. 2164 01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:14,760 Speaker 2: Trans person's entire life and entire. 2165 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:22,520 Speaker 1: Outward of peers is about tricking some dude into dating them. 2166 01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:29,320 Speaker 1: I promise you trans people aren't the biggest fear of 2167 01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:33,240 Speaker 1: a trans person, especially a trans woman, is a dude 2168 01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:38,240 Speaker 1: like you, a dude who's feel some sort of entitlement 2169 01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:40,519 Speaker 1: to I'm gonna be tricked and I'm gonna have to 2170 01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:44,559 Speaker 1: do something or prove something, or I'm gonna be upset 2171 01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:47,080 Speaker 1: by this person.

In my opinion, my humble opinion, 2331 01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:56,640 Speaker 6: I think people are so defensive of it because you 2332 01:58:56,680 --> 01:58:59,760 Speaker 6: could have so many different experiences, like, for example, I 2333 01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:03,040 Speaker 6: don't get ads on Instagram, so I don't know why. 2334 01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:05,000 Speaker 6: I don't know how when I see people complain about 2335 01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:09,400 Speaker 6: Instagram apps, I'm like, never saw one. So like on TikTok, 2336 01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:12,400 Speaker 6: I'm very protective over my four you page, and I 2337 01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:15,400 Speaker 6: know that that nonsense is a hundent one there, so 2338 01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:17,320 Speaker 6: I try not to watch more than a few seconds 2339 01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:19,920 Speaker 6: or something. Sometimes I'd be nosy and get into some 2340 01:59:20,600 --> 01:59:23,760 Speaker 6: makeup influencers mess, and now my whole for you page 2341 01:59:23,800 --> 01:59:25,840 Speaker 6: is that mess. So I stay out of all that, 2342 01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:28,560 Speaker 6: and I'm on there in my bed before I go 2343 01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:31,960 Speaker 6: to sleep, rubbing my feet together like a cricket, recipes, 2344 01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:36,080 Speaker 6: Broadway music tips and tricks. Ie bought up half the 2345 01:59:36,120 --> 01:59:40,120 Speaker 6: TikTok shop, so addictive one of the reasons probably why 2346 01:59:40,120 --> 01:59:42,080 Speaker 6: people are protective of it, but also like you could 2347 01:59:42,120 --> 01:59:44,680 Speaker 6: just have so many different experiences. So when I hear 2348 01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:47,400 Speaker 6: about all the drama mess I'm like, oh, sound like 2349 01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:50,080 Speaker 6: a totally different app, like so much so that I 2350 01:59:50,120 --> 01:59:52,640 Speaker 6: turned off my direct messages because I don't want people 2351 01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:54,600 Speaker 6: sending me stuff, and then that takes over my for 2352 01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:59,160 Speaker 6: you page. But either way, people just chill, just the 2353 01:59:59,280 --> 02:00:00,960 Speaker 6: app you brought to love. 2354 02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:11,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and that and like that's the thing I 2355 02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:14,640 Speaker 1: was trying to say. It too, is like I think 2356 02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:23,640 Speaker 1: the customization of the algorithm is so good and so 2357 02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:27,800 Speaker 1: addictive that it can trick people into thinking a mass 2358 02:00:27,880 --> 02:00:30,440 Speaker 1: experience is happening for everybody at the same time. But 2359 02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:30,920 Speaker 1: it's not. 2360 02:00:31,400 --> 02:00:33,840 Speaker 2: But if you take like ten steps back and look 2361 02:00:33,880 --> 02:00:34,520 Speaker 2: at like the. 2362 02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:37,240 Speaker 1: Bigger stuff, like like like I said, when I Google 2363 02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:40,400 Speaker 1: who are the most followed accounts, that's just most followed 2364 02:00:40,440 --> 02:00:44,120 Speaker 1: the counts. That doesn't matter if your personal experience is 2365 02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:48,040 Speaker 1: like it is showing me bonnets and do rags like cool, 2366 02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:52,000 Speaker 1: But clearly that's a you thing and you can have 2367 02:00:52,120 --> 02:00:54,480 Speaker 1: that experience that which would would make people want to 2368 02:00:54,520 --> 02:00:57,640 Speaker 1: defend it and go But isn't this everybody? No, the 2369 02:00:57,760 --> 02:01:00,720 Speaker 1: general experience is not for everybody, and that and bad 2370 02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:03,720 Speaker 1: stuff happens there too, such as lives of TikTok and 2371 02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:07,600 Speaker 1: ship like that.

And it's 2398 02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:35,360 Speaker 4: fascinating in a psychological evaluation of it. And it's incredibly 2399 02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:39,680 Speaker 4: disturbing and frustrating and sad when you speak about the 2400 02:02:39,800 --> 02:02:43,520 Speaker 4: humanity of it all.

But nah, we don't take it to 2590 02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:18,960 Speaker 1: that level because all of a sudden, it doesn't look 2591 02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:21,640 Speaker 1: as smart, you know, or it doesn't not look as smart. 2592 02:12:21,680 --> 02:12:26,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't make men feel as value agreed, and so yeah, 2593 02:12:26,440 --> 02:12:32,360 Speaker 1: all the arguments are very h generalized anyway, but yeah, 2594 02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:37,200 Speaker 1: it's just whatever.

Let me see where's from, 2660 02:15:58,840 --> 02:16:01,440 Speaker 1: because I got a suspicion on who it's from because 2661 02:16:01,480 --> 02:16:03,720 Speaker 1: that person told me to put it on there, because 2662 02:16:03,720 --> 02:16:04,800 Speaker 1: I was saying, how. 2663 02:16:06,840 --> 02:16:10,040 Speaker 2: Of course it didn't include the fucking Yeah. 2664 02:16:10,080 --> 02:16:12,160 Speaker 3: Sometimes I think they'd be forgetting to put the little 2665 02:16:12,160 --> 02:16:12,680 Speaker 3: thing with. 2666 02:16:12,680 --> 02:16:14,400 Speaker 1: It ship it so fast they didn't even tell me 2667 02:16:14,400 --> 02:16:16,160 Speaker 1: who it was from. But if it's who I think 2668 02:16:16,280 --> 02:16:19,880 Speaker 1: is from, thank you, because she told me. We were 2669 02:16:19,880 --> 02:16:24,760 Speaker 1: talking on the pregame about the end body test. That 2670 02:16:24,960 --> 02:16:28,040 Speaker 1: tells me about my muscle game and stuff. Because sometimes 2671 02:16:28,640 --> 02:16:30,600 Speaker 1: on the scale, you know, the number looks the same, 2672 02:16:30,720 --> 02:16:33,760 Speaker 1: and I have a smart scale, but it's like, I 2673 02:16:33,760 --> 02:16:36,480 Speaker 1: don't know how it's too smart. I don't know them numbers, 2674 02:16:37,480 --> 02:16:39,480 Speaker 1: Like there's a setting that you can stand on it 2675 02:16:39,560 --> 02:16:41,320 Speaker 1: and it just gives you a bunch of fucking numbers 2676 02:16:41,320 --> 02:16:44,360 Speaker 1: that I don't get. And so I was just like, cool, 2677 02:16:44,840 --> 02:16:46,720 Speaker 1: but I'm just gonna look at the weight number because 2678 02:16:46,720 --> 02:16:49,080 Speaker 1: that's the one I know, and the other one that's 2679 02:16:49,200 --> 02:16:52,520 Speaker 1: like three to four times twelve, I'm just gonna assume 2680 02:16:52,520 --> 02:16:56,840 Speaker 1: it's calculus. Well, she said, well, this other scale will 2681 02:16:56,879 --> 02:17:00,440 Speaker 1: give you like very understandable, like here's your muscle mass, 2682 02:17:00,440 --> 02:17:03,879 Speaker 1: here's your this, that and the other and so. And 2683 02:17:03,920 --> 02:17:06,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure it won't give me the exact like like 2684 02:17:06,320 --> 02:17:09,039 Speaker 1: the anybody would be like your right arm has this 2685 02:17:09,160 --> 02:17:13,040 Speaker 1: much muscle and has gained Yeah, so I'm gonna definitely 2686 02:17:13,040 --> 02:17:16,720 Speaker 1: hook this up.
