Speaker 3: It means the world to us. Y'all just don't know.

100
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 2: Yep. All right, let's get into the comments on different

101
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: episodes where you have an opportunity to interact with us

102
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: if you want to. Relatable was episode nineteen thirty four,

103
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: which was our feedback episode. Great Uncle Bob says four

104
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: ways say voting as the two party system in the

105
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: two party system is choosing a lesser too, evils, and

106
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: how black folk always had to do this so older

107
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: black folks are professionals in pragmatism. And yes, I'd like

108
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: to hear why the reasoning behind their support for Burden Biden. Yeah,

109
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: I would like to as well. Man, I still haven't

110
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: really seen anyone go out and interview on this. I

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: was saying this a week ago now, and not you know,

112
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: they found ways to interview Trump supporters and Republicans that

113
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: don't want to be called racists got a hold right

114
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: up in the Atlantic. Who's the fuck is talking to people?

115
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: Like every day I see a report on the polls,

116
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: is like the polls Joe Biden holding steady, Harris is

117
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: going down, Bernie is holding steady. You know, Warren's moving

118
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: up like okay, But y'all aren't asking voters why.

119
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 3: Because they don't really give a fuck about black voters.

120
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: And you know Biden is only ahead because of a

121
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: support of black voters, specifically older black voters. Come find

122
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: out why. Anyway, I'm done, repeat myself. Do you want

123
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: to know why older black voters support Biden? Was the

124
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: was a poll? Yes? I like to know and know.

125
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: I don't don't care care for me.

126
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: I guess I would like to know. I kind of know,

127
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: but they can tell them the why.

128
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I'm assuming why, but I don't

129
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: actually know why because no one's asked, but yes, I

130
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: like to know sixty percent forty of our artists does

131
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: not care, which I think is kind of interesting because

132
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: and maybe maybe you know, maybe it's just like, uh,

133
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: they're not voting for my favorite person, so I don't

134
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: give a fuck or why. I don't care why anybody

135
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: else votes the way they do. But I feel like

136
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: if you're of that group that does not want Biden

137
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: to be the nominee, you need to find but you

138
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: don't care why people are voting for them, then you're

139
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: an idiot.

140
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: Find out why so that you can go and persuade them,

141
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: because if you don't persuade them, that shit ain't gonna change.

142
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: Though.

143
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: Now maybe you're a person that don't care, so that's

144
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: why you know, you're like, I don't care who the

145
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: nominee is, so who gives a fuck. But if I

146
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: feel like if your team any like not Biden, then

147
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: it's shocking to me to not care why people vote

148
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: for for for Biden. That's that's wild, because like, I

149
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: don't know how your candidate is supposed to get them voters.

150
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: Doug b says, Yes, I like both news organizations and

151
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: the DNC to do a full in depth dive into

152
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: the reason and for voting. Every voting cycle, we hear

153
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: about the NASCAR dads, rural blue collar white dudes, soccer moles,

154
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: suburban white women, working class America, blue collar white people,

155
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: middle class Americas, white people who don't feel richard poor.

156
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: But only but old black people they might be the

157
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 2: most important demographic, at least in the nominations. They consistently

158
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: vote and have picked the Democratic nominee every time. My

159
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: thirty five year old ass can remember every outfit should

160
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: want to know why, what they're thinking. Yeah, that's what's

161
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: even more strange. It's been my entire life correct, and

162
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: I don't remember anyone questioning or asking, you know, like

163
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: they might ask young, hip like radical black people old

164
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: their opinions because it's more bombastic and they normally say

165
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: something more inflammatory and so it makes good, you know,

166
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: it's a good copy, good print, right, But they don't

167
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: really talk to older black people.

168
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: No, because most older black people that have been through

169
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: some shit, and them clips ain't gonna be the clips

170
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: you can run. They gonna be like, uh, yeah, I'm old,

171
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 5: I don't give a fuck. And these are the reasons

172
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 5: why I vote this way, and they gonna be sitting

173
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 5: there on that.

174
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: Chair with that signs they got damn changed my mind.

175
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 5: If you can't, I'm still voting this way, and nobody's

176
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: actually trying to change their minds.

177
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

178
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: I just think it's interesting because I don't even think

179
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: it's because it's gonna be like them being like I'm

180
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: old and black and fuck you know, I really I

181
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: think because like.

182
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: And it's not a fuck you is.

183
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 5: This is my philosophy and you know, like you said,

184
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 5: if you wanted to change, you got to reach me,

185
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: and nobody's willing to reach them.

186
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just want to see what they would say,

187
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: because you know, I remember there were older black establishment

188
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: types that were behind Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama start

189
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: a campaigning and we watched them change. But from my understanding,

190
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: the biggest thing about Barack Obama's campaign in two thousand

191
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: and eight was this ground game, going to houses, knocking

192
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: on doors, letting people know, you know, like, and especially

193
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 2: in the South, I'm kind of you know, it's kind

194
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: of surprising to see. I don't know, maybe they're waiting

195
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 2: until the numbers with or down. I don't know. I

196
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know how to answer. I just

197
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: I just think it's weird.

198
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, And to kind of pig itback on what you said,

199
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 5: it's one of those things where the ground game matters

200
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 5: because you know what, particularly for older black people, they're like, hey,

201
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 5: I know you're.

202
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: A real person.

203
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: You actually reach out to me, You.

204
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: Actually give a fuck, you know, because you know not

205
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 5: all but you know a lot of older Black people

206
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 5: feel forgotten anyway, and so you know, they're like, hey,

207
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: if the candidate actually takes the time to reach out

208
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 5: to speak to me, to hear my plights, yes, I'm

209
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 5: willing to Uh.

210
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,359
Speaker 3: Most people in a reasonable.

211
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: Kind of sense is willing to be like okay, all right.

212
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 5: And that's something that Barack Obama did. You know, he

213
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 5: actually reached out to people, went to homes, knocked on doors,

214
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 5: did phone calls and shit like that. And to reach

215
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: older people sometimes you can't use new technology, like you know,

216
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: the texting, like they don't do a lot of them

217
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 5: don't do that shit.

218
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: So you got to go old school with a lot

219
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: of them.

220
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 5: And a lot of people just want to lead to

221
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: old people behind like they don't fucking exist, and just

222
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 5: like well, these what the numbers stay with the young folks,

223
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 5: but old people both too.

224
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just, like I said, you know, I just

225
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 2: like to see hear it from them, like so, it

226
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: seemed like an easy fucking thing to do. But I

227
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: haven't heard anybody do it, you know. So, and I

228
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: have my suspicions and speculations, of course, but I would

229
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: like to have them confirmed or not, you know, or

230
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: have a debunk.

231
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: You know.

232
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: My biggest suspicion is just that Joe Biden was a

233
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: dude to have Barack Obama's back for eight years unwaveringly so,

234
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: and that carries a lot of weight with those voters,

235
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: my guess. But we don't know because nobody gives a

236
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: fuck about talking to him that.

237
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 5: And then that's the part nobody wants to admit. Like

238
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 5: you said, every demographic of white folks, the undecided, I

239
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 5: don't know, the economic anxiety. We talked to the coal miners,

240
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 5: We talked to every demographic of white folks that fucking is.

241
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: Out there, that even exists.

242
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 5: They can make a genre up and we will get

243
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 5: an article on them fuckers.

244
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Now, even let lion ass white people talk to them

245
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: like it's crazy. I don't anyway, Episode nineteen thirty five,

246
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 2: Dipping into the kool aid. This is the episode we

247
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: have a man jl covid and and we actually got

248
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: five comments, only gonna get a lot of comments when

249
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: we have gas. Phil g says, the way that the

250
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 2: base are going, I may as well wait till the

251
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: next day to get the highlights on Twitter. It is

252
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 2: too many people a night and they do not get

253
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: enough time. I actually don't even think you need to

254
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: wait to check it out on Twitter. I don't think

255
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: anything's being said in the debase that is worthwhile for

256
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: the most part, just because we don't have time. Nope. Honestly,

257
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: it's I'm just and I know that people don't like it.

258
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: Everybody has their phase. I'm just waiting for people to

259
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: drop out, and you cannot like that if you won't.

260
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: But motherfucker's polling at one to two percent. They gotta go.

261
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: They gotta go. You know. I know the jail's man

262
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: is one of those people, But you know they gotta

263
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: find another role to get into the political zeitgeist if

264
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: they can't drum up these votes, man, because you know,

265
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: I want, I do want these opinions into debase and stuff.

266
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: But it's literally too many people to say that their

267
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 2: opinions are mattering, because people just basically ignore the people

268
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: polling low and just move on. And if you don't

269
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: get a viral Twitter moment, it's like you did the

270
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: whole debate for no reason. It's crazy. This whole thing

271
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: is fucked up. If in the ideal world they split

272
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: this shit up to like four nights a week, five

273
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: people on the stage at a time, instead of trying

274
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: to like do this just ten people yelling at each

275
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: other shit.

276
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 5: And I guarantee you that that was an option, but

277
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 5: they was like, fucking we won't chaos, Like that's the

278
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 5: only reason why you do this, because you wont chaos

279
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 5: and vibra tweets alledge other bullshit versus people actually talking

280
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 5: about the fact.

281
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: Well, like Shay said in the chat, I'm watching for

282
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: the jokes. Fuck it, I like to laugh unreasonable stuff. Yeah,

283
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying like that, And that's that's what's

284
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: seeing in is hoping for, right, Like seeing MSNBC. They

285
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: that's they know that that that viral moment, that Twitter thread,

286
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: that joke, that's what it's about now. And sadly that

287
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: you know that's all you have time for. At least

288
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: I'm not saying people that weren't looking at the debates

289
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: and making jokes. I know I've always done that, but

290
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: but at least when it's like Bernie and Hilary and

291
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: like it's two to three people on stage, some substantive

292
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: issues are being talked about. You just literally can't get

293
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: ten pop in on fucking immigration. And at the same

294
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: time you just can't, and especially with people leaping in

295
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: to be like, well they did not always feel that way.

296
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: It's like, well, dad, no, ship, we're asking the question

297
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: how they feel? Now you know this? This gotcha ship

298
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: is just so I don't know, it's Uh, the Donald

299
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: Trump impression was so good it was triggering. Even the

300
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: excuse me just gave me shivers.

301
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

302
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: I love when Jail does that, when with the moderator

303
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: or the person asking the questions trying to talk and

304
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: then he's like excuse me, excuse me, till it's like

305
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: so rude you have to just shut the fuck up.

306
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: Thanks for having him all smiley faced low paz Keiler. Yeah,

307
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: he's great, He's he's amazing at that impression and everything. Uh,

308
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: Trace Wind due says, thanks again for Jail to Jail

309
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: for blessing us with his president's episode. This is such

310
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,600

Speaker 2: of y'all learned about Jay Insley. That's it's like, that's

313
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: like jail's part time job. Great uncle, great Uncle Bob says,

314
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: great episode, Jail was great. I love when you talk

315
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: about politics because your point of because your viewpoint is

316
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: dope and often makes me think of thing is another

317
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: way I had not previously considered. Hey, thank you. You know,

318
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: I tried to not talk too much about certain shit.

319
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: But you know, at the same time, man, I you know,

320
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: we're giving our opinions, and hopefully they are opinions. You're

321
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: not fine in just any and everywhere because you know,

322
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: we're trying not to just be We're trying to be

323
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: authentic to ourselves and not just ride along with whatever

324
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: the internet wave is, you know. So I'm glad that

325
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: it's challenging people or at least they're seeing something a

326
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: different way, because that's how I learned too. I listened

327
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: to a lot of podcasts and uh, there's a lot

328
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: of people whose politics are different from mine, but I

329
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: learned from them, and I'm like, oh, I didn't think

330
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: of it this way, or this is a perspective I

331
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: hadn't considered, or you know, sometimes oh this is this

332
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: is a better perspective than mine. I have now learned

333
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: something like that. I you know, I could not I

334
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: could not have come up with on my own and

335
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: I and that's why I'm thankful to learning. That's why

336
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: on social media you'll see me I share a podcast

337
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: that I listen to if I can remember to do

338
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: it when i'm listening, just so that people can be

339
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: you know, they can be edified as well. Jl's Trump

340
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: impression is the best in the game. It's more than

341
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: just sounded like Trump, but he has the man psyche down.

342
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: It's hilariously terrifying. It is, y'all. It is like I said,

343
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: if you guys enjoy this Trump impression, I hope you

344
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: ays listen to making podcasts great again. Everywhere you get podcasts.

345
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 2: He does it weekly and it's topical, so it's like

346
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: it's a great way to catch up on the news

347
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: of the week with Trump because they kind of talk

348
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: about it and he kind of gives you what we

349
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: all know Trump was really fucking thinking, but he's also

350
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: funny and like, it's also just a good show. Anonymous says,

351
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: good political commentary and conversation. Thank you, Anonymous, thank you.

352
00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: Then we got the poll and it had two comments.

353
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: The poem was, is the current debate format helpful to you? No,

354
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: it's chaotic? Or yes, I'm learning a lot. Keen. I

355
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: don't think you watched them.

356
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 5: Right, No, but from what I see, everybody just yelling

357
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 5: at each other and the moderation is going, you got

358
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 5: a minute left, you got a minute left, and then

359
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 5: the person keeps talking and they keep telling them stop stop.

360
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 5: I was like, the fuck that I just tapped down,

361
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,719
Speaker 5: like the this it's not debate.

362
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, So ninety two percent of our audience says it's chaotic,

363
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: eight percent says yeah, it's helpful, they're learning a lot.

364
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: I can actually see both sides of that. Maybe you know,

365
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: shout out to me being a liber okay, but I

366
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: could kind of see both sides of that, because I mean,

367
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: if you don't know anything about some of these motherfuckers,

368
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: then it's all educational, because learning about twenty two motherfuckers

369
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: at the same time, I mean, you're bound to learn something,

370
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But I'm more on the

371
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: chaos side. For me, I feel like these debates are

372
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: always the fucking time right now. And like I said,

373
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: it's sad for the people who got in the race

374
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 2: with legit, like good campaigns, that they have good track records,

375
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: they have things they would like to like present to

376
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: the American people in solutions. It's sad for them because

377
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: for every one person like that, there's a couple of

378
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: people in there that just don't have any fucking business

379
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: being up there. And everybody's going to differ on who

380
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 2: they decide is the people that shouldn't be up there.

381
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: But you know, we all do recognize it's too many people.

382
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: Blue Wave Rider said, Niggas, this was one of your

383
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 2: best episodes. I hope the three of you can get

384
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: together regularly to comment on the presidential race and politics

385
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: in general. Five stars, six stars for cars, keep up

386
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: the good work. Ain's Blue Ay Roder You. Yeah, it's

387
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: funny because we normally don't do politically heavy episodes. And

388
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: and by the way, I mean, I love jail can

389
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: come on any time you want, but I doubt that

390
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: I would want to do a regular like Democratic candidate

391
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 2: race update, because I ad meant what I said that

392
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: over I guess at this point a year or two ago,

393
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 2: at this point, but I am voting enthusiastically for whoever

394
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: can win this fucking primary. And I will have no

395
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: regrets about that, not why, and I will be talking

396
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: about people that it was like, I ain't voting that

397
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: fuck you, because this is not a game at this point.

398
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: Like people are literally dying and being separated from their family.

399
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a game. And if you if that

400
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: moves you, if you're so cynical that moves you, none,

401
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: You're not my kind of person anyway, you probably shouldn't

402
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: be fucking with me. And I definitely don't want you

403
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 2: around me, you know what I mean. So I don't

404
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: want to do like the thing because we even had

405
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: one when we get the voicemails, well, actually that voicemail

406
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: is kind of choppy, so you won't be able to hear.

407
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: But uh, there was a person that wrote in to

408
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: be like, what about you know, my candidate is this person?

409
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, I'm not saying they're a bad person,

410
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 2: but can't get that high enough percentage of that money,

411
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: they gotta go cause it's gotta be worn down. And

412
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: it's not a knock on really those people. It's just

413
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: look that we don't have the time to get to

414
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: know all these motherfuckers, and the debates are not a

415
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 2: good place to do it. So I don't even know

416
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: what you do. If you're polling at two percent right

417
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: now and you're trying to move up, I don't even

418
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: know how you do it. Cause the news people aren't

419
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: interested in helping that happen.

420
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 5: For you know, they're not And like I said, their

421
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 5: purpose to be made it chaotic because with so many

422
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 5: people they was like fuck it.

423
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know what you do, but I

424
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 2: just know that I don't want to be the person

425
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: arguing different candidates. I had enough of that shit when

426
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: it was just Hillary and Bernie and people were writing

427
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: us and like they needed us to be on the

428
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: side of their candidate or it's gonna be a problem,

429
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: and any critique of those candidates, they had a problem

430
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: with us bringing it up. And then other people write

431
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 2: in and they critique, you know, they do want critiques

432
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: of the candidate. Like to me, a lot of that

433
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: was fruitless. You know, it just war. It didn't make

434
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: either candidate better. It wore them down until enough and

435
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: then it was You're like, yay, let's go to the

436
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: enthusiasm and I hope it doesn't happen this time, but

437
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: it feels like it's gonna happen this time. But we'll

438
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: see repeat. Monique says, one of the best podcasts I've

439
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: ever heard period. Damn y'all really did like this ship. Thankful,

440
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: Thankful for the candidates that know fully well they can't win.

441
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 2: But I'm wasting our time, our egotistic go and don't

442
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 2: give a shit about what's even important. Taking the Senate

443
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: been better the man. The people of Texas need you

444
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: right now. This is your time. Go snatch that seat

445
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: away from John Corn. Feels like a layup, a no brainer.

446
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: Stacey Abrams, what's good? I'm just saying, Yeah, it would

447
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: be hilarious if Stacy Abrams waited till the very end

448
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: and just popped in like gods before the primary start

449
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: and y'all get ready to vote. I mean, like, uh,

450
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: but you didn't do nothing to debates. Yeah, that shit

451
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 2: was wasting time. Uh, y'all know I'm still paying off

452
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: this credit out that all let you girl.

453
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: That would fucking swing everything people's time.

454
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 2: That's funny because like with all this stuff, this and

455
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: happened in twenty sixteen. To Stacy Abrams is like to

456
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: go to I would vote for a person I think,

457
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 2: you know, for a lot of people where they're like,

458
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: I hate all these candidates, But if it was Stacey,

459
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: and I'm like, all right, I hope y'all telling the

460
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: truth because we always say that about somebody and then

461
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: they get in the motherfucking racing. It's like why they're

462
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 2: not number one? You know, like twenty sixty, I think

463
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: it was Elizabeth Warren. You know, for some people it

464
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: was Joe Biden knowing he is number one. But you know,

465
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: so maybe they was telling the truth. If it was

466
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, we would be winning. I guess maybe so

467
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 2: maybe so episode nineteen thirty six, Hot Baby Summer, we

468
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: had one comment Jennica says, I can't believe Karen missed

469
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: the pizza slap story. I knew he was black when

470
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: he said he'd beat everybody asking that shaking my head

471
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: under the jail, I know. And you know what's even

472
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: worse is she still got her rum in at night, y'all.

473
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 2: I put a picture of it on our social media.

474
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: Queen guess what the queen wants. It's refusing to vote

475
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: for candidates who are pro gun controlled, just as pointless

476
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: as thoughts and prayers, Karen, the choices are. Yes, it's

477
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: basically the same thing. No, it's better than thoughts and prayers.

478
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: Or no, thoughts and prayers is better. Yes, So what

479
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: would you say?

480
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm? I think for me the.

481
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 2: B so it's better than thoughts and prayers. I am

482
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: of the mindset that is basically the same thing thoughts

483
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: and prayers and people that say, I'm I'm antied, I'm

484
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 2: pro gun control, but I don't vote for people that

485
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: are gun controlled. Oh, same thing.

486
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 3: We didn't know. Hey, my bad?

487
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, same thing to me. So, yes, it's basically

488
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: the same thing. Sixty uh twenty nine percent say no,

489
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: it's better than thoughts and prayers. I don't see how honestly.

490
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's basically cause nothing because with both of the

491
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 5: nothing's being done, Like what are we doing?

492
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: Nothing?

493
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 5: You're not voting, so you're not changing, but your anti guns,

494
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 5: which means you have to put people in place. You

495
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 5: got to vote and put people in place that will

496
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 5: actually push your agenda.

497
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: So you're not putting people in place to.

498
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 5: Push your agenda, but you have the agenda, Well, then

499
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 5: what the fuck you complaining about? No, yeah, I'm not

500
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 5: gonna get on that, but yeah, people that don't vote

501
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 5: be the lot oft fucking complainings. Why you got them

502
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 5: complaining when you didn't participate in the fucking process.

503
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: And no thoughts and prayers is better four percent? So

504
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: I actually think both of the last groups, I don't

505
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: know how they came to those decisions, but that's fine.

506
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: That's why we put it out there. Finder says for

507
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: if you could read this in your white woman of

508
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: color voice, what this got to do with this pole?

509
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: All right? Every I don't I don't even know. Every autumn,

510
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: I make the best apple pies for the apple tree

511
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: in our backyard. Over several years, I have fine tuned

512
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: my ingredients for my pies so it's not too sweet,

513
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 2: but sweet enough to cut the tartness of the apple.

514
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 2: Plenty of cinnamon for fragrance, and ginger clove, and a

515
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: pinch of offspice to make apple flavors pop in your mouth. Now, gentle, listen, wait, now,

516
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 2: gentle listen, I guess gentlemen. Now, gentlemen, listen. If you

517
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 2: ask where the nutmeg is, I will fight you that

518
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: ish made for is made for soapy after taste. Fight me.

519
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: I digress last year for when on for when on

520
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 2: his pumpkin spice parade, I guess me. I don't know.

521
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: I was taking a sconce for I never pumpkin spice anything,

522
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 2: or so I thought. As for suggestion said in this episode,

523
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: I did google what pumpkin spice is and it turned

524
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: out it's exactly what I've been putting in my pies

525
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: every year. I would like to pronounce myself pumpkin spice

526
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: apple pie making King of the Black Eye. He tips nations.

527
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: If anyone is in the habit of making thirty to

528
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: fifty apple pies in the fall, they are welcome to

529
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: my crown. But until then, put some respect on my name,

530
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: and may ride and careen forever stay annoying in all

531
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 2: things pumpkin and spicy. Thanks bender case. I don't know

532
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: what the ass to do with the pole. Can figure

533
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: ou how to post that on the website, I don't know.

534
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: Lenny said, you must have said something about buckets spice

535
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 5: on that episode.

536
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 2: Oh, we definitely did. We definitely did. But I just

537
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: don't know what they had to do with the pole.

538
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: It's in the polls comments.

539
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: Oh okay, not the episode comments.

540
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 2: Lenny says, Right now, I'm one of the two folks

541
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: who says thoughts and prayers are better thoughts and prayers

542
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 2: mean nothing but refusing to vote for candidates that our

543
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: pro gun control has serious consequences. You see that reasoning.

544
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: Al Gore lost key supporting two thousand because he was

545
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 2: pro gun control. Representative Lucy McBath, Jordan Davis's mother has

546
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: been harassed all week by the RNC for being pro

547
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: gun control, her keeping that red seat was already going

548
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: to be an uphill battle. Yeah. Man, this is some

549
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: sad shit.

550
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 3: Man.

551
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't know how reasonable people

552
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: can can feel that they're better than like they mocked

553
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 2: the thoughts and prayers people, but then they also say

554
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: don't vote, Like, shut the fuck up, then what are

555
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: you talking about? Monique says the gun ownership to Bay

556
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: is one of the most sinister things the founders ever

557
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: cooked up. Maybe dn D could make a show where

558
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: NRA members explained to God giving rights to AR fifteen.

559
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: That amendment was for muskets that took forty seconds to

560
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: reload if you're a proficient. The hial killer killed nine

561
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: people in twenty something seconds yup and injured like eighteen

562
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: more or something like. It's crazy, it's really we're living.

563
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: In and the shooting down in El Paso. They say

564
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 5: that they don't really even have a true count of

565
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 5: how many people were injured. Yes, they say, because a

566
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 5: lot of people didn't report the injuries because they was

567
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 5: like if I go to the hospital, I'm they liable

568
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 5: to bought me or the family members on my loved ones.

569
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: So I'm just gonna have to deal with the wound.

570
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 6: M h yep.

571
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: Man.

572
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: But it's the video games blame, right, Walmart taking down

573
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: video game posters, ESPN's taking a video game tournament off

574
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: of the air in August that because that'll fix it.

575
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: Apparently, apparently that will fix the problem.

576
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: Apparently video games are buying AR fifteen's and putting them

577
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: in their hands of radicalized white men and making them

578
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: shoot people who knew. Episode nineteen thirty seven Forgiveness, Phil

579
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: g says just wanted to say that we all got

580
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: into reading at different times in life. I never read

581
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: for fun until I was ready for fun ntil I

582
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: was twenty one and a friend of mine introduced me

583
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: to Tucker Max series of books. Sorry they are for

584
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: every problem at books. Then I got into reading video

585
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: games like Halo and Gears Awards series because I love

586
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: the world they are in. I moved and reading Maga

587
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: around the age of twenty six. I've since moved on

588
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: to more real books from Coach Obama, Hattish to name

589
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: a few. I read the Game of Throng series as well.

590
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: Reading is a relax is relaxing. It's never too late

591
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: to learn anyone's work. We all get in where we

592
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: fit in. Thanks Phil G.

593
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 5: That's a statement, yeah, and I agree. I think you've

594
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 5: just been so far behind sometimes but you fail. But

595
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 5: it's one of those things where the race is your race,

596
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 5: not anybody else's race.

597
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you got to run your own race. And

598
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: and like I said, man, a good book, you know,

599
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: it's like you're not even reading. It's like, you know,

600
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: when I'm reading a good book, I'm thinking about that

601
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: shit all the time and wanting to get back to it.

602
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: So you know, it kind of does itself. The book

603
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm reading about Ida B. Wells right now is one

604
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: of those books. So I'm just so enthralled into like

605
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: everything that was going on around the time she was

606
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: coming up and is and and the way they wrote

607
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: it is it's like a swathe of black life, So

608
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: you're not it's not just her life by itself, but

609
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: it's like within the context of things that were happening,

610
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: and you know, and this is a person we almost

611
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: lost the history, so it's kind of it's kind of

612
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: dope to read. And uh yeah, like I'm right now,

613
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: I'm on her love life and how she just man,

614
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: I just couldn't keep a man, y'all. She was having

615
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: problems out there, Okay, a lot of a lot of black.

618
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: exactly what's happening. She was honery, She was a kind

619
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: of a She was a person that had a lot

620
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: of like pride and proceeds like so if you fucked

621
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: up a little bit, she was completely off your ass.

622
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: You A.

623
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 2: She didn't play that shit at all. So if a

624
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: nigga like was moving too slow with that, I love

625
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: using shit she was like, fuck this, nigga. And by

626
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,200

00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: She just was like, you better come pupared, I'm not

00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: putting in no work.

631
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: If you was trifling, man, She just she was not

632
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: fucking around. So it was like that was a big

633
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: part of it for her. And then she also was

634
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: just kind of like she had a hard time being

635
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: having friends and shit like that, so she wasn't really

636
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: a friendly person. And she was also the kind of

637
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: person that like.

638
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 4: She would like.

639
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: Like like if somebody was sad or something around her,

640
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: she'll be like, okay, then, nigga, Like I guess you said,

641
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: you know, like I'm not gonna try to console you,

642
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: and and that's what's wrong, Like that's not my problem.

643
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: Like she was writing her diary like I mean not

644
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: in these terms, but basically like, yeah, I came to

645
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: work at my job teaching and shit, and Fanny so

646
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: and so wasn't speaking to me this week. So I

647
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: was content to let her just sit there and not speak.

648
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: Come on, ye, I'm not trying to be funny.

649
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 5: And the older I get, the more my attitude turns

650
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: like that in certain situations.

651
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 3: Honey, I'm not here to.

652
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 5: Stroke your ego or or ask you to mature up.

653
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 5: In certain situations, I'm like, fuck it, you deal with it.

654
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: But she was fine as hell. So she had a

655
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 2: lot of dudes who tried to holler at her, you know,

656
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: and she also was so like and that also made

657
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: a real like kind of temperamental with the dudes that

658
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: she would correspond with, because she'd be like, Nigga, of

659
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: all the people, I tried to holler back at you,

660
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: and you got the nerve to be slow rolling and shit,

661
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: get the fuck out of my face.

662
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: And then because I know, I'm fine.

663
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: And then she also had I know I talked about

664
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: it with your over dinner. But because of that thing

665
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: that happened to her in her hometown, I cannot remember

666
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: the name of it. He'll spring uh what her hometown

667
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: because they have basically accused her of being a whole

668
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: She was real real quick to like if somebody, if

669
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: she thought people was talking about her, or she thought

670
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: people was, you know, spreading rumors and lies about her,

671
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: because some of them stories follow her all the way

672
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: back to uh follow her to Memphis. She was Jesus

673
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: off of people like she was just like, I know that,

674
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 2: you know, fucker's talking about me. I ain't no hope,

675
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: get the fuck off from me, then, you know, and

676
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: you know. So anyway, it's a good book. But because

677
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: it's so good, I can't help think about it, talk

678
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: about it. I want to read more, like you know,

679
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: and that's what a good book can do. That's even

680
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: different from like TV and stuff like that. So uh,

681
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: and of course, uh, the name of the book, because

682
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: I know y'all gonna ask me on Twitter a million

683
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: fucking times, Uh, is a sword among Lions. It's things

684
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: I to be well, so sort of long lines. And

685
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 2: then it's on Amazon Prime right now if you have Amazon.

686
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 2: If you have Amazon Prime, you can actually get it

687
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 2: on a kindle device for free. It's one of those books.

688
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 2: So and it's like eight hundred pages. But y'all know

689
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: how kindle books are if you read them, it can't

690
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 2: possibly be eight hundred pages. I'm assuming a whole bunch

691
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: of pages. It's just footnotes and annotations and stuff like that.

692
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm reading it now, and I fucking love it.

693
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: On chapter four, Michelle says there are already people who

694
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: buy copyrights to old songs and use software to scan

695
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: new songs for similarity so they can sue for copyright infringement.

696
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling y'all, man, I've seen how people are acting.

697
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: Because it's Robin Thick and Katy Perry. I cannot not

698
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: that I can't wait because I don't wish misfortunate on anybody,

699
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: But it's gonna happen to somebody, y'all like, and then

700
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: it's gonna be y'all gonna be acting real indignant two notes.

701
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna remember that all the bothered shit

702
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: when it was when, because it's not about who the

703
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: fuck it happened to. It's really about the principal the shit.

704
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: And musicians like people that work in the industry are

705
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: telling me and us and write an article being like, Yo,

706
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: this is actually fucked up. It's not really, it's not

707
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: actually copyright infringement. They're taking advantage of the system in

708
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: a way that you know is gonna end up being

709
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: fucked up for other people.

710
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 3: Right, but you know, stifling creativity.

711
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, when it's beyond a little NASA

712
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 2: X or some shit. That's when everybody will be like

713
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 2: the fuck, you know. But until then, another listener says,

714
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: I was looking I was going to mention the same thing,

715
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 2: and a lot of people who got caught up and

716
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 2: that were small indie musicians. So this issue just doesn't

717
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: affect rich people. It can mess with the career of

718
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: someone starting out in their little apartment. So someone gets

719
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: to copyright to something small looks for or to buy

720
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 2: the copyright to an old song, and it looks for

721
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 2: someone making music. And that's the other thing, because the

722
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: way the copyright thing is working, it's almost impossible to

723
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: work backwards with the software. So like I'm making the

724
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: entire composition to make a song, and I'm doing it

725
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 2: for my own original or whatever. Right, I can't take

726
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: that song and go back and be like, okay this

727
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 2: two seconds is this anywhere? And so on? Use song? Okay,

728
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 2: these two notes are these two notes in anyone's song.

729
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 3: And cause you never get the shit done.

730
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: Right, but you can do it the opposite way easy,

731
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: which is, okay, I have two notes done or whatever

732
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: the fuck, let's go search for those two notes anywhere. Okay,

733
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 2: this song got it? Okay, I'm sowing. Trey says, that

734
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: was a word you two blessed us. With you guys

735
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: talking about forgiveness, it amazed me how people will stretch

736
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: themselves out holding on the grudge instead of just forgiving

737
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: that person moving the hell on. Your life could be

738
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: cut too short just by holding on to that grudge.

739
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: Man forgive, so in turn, you can live your life

740
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: to the fullest. Thanks riding of Cairen. Yeah, man, I mean,

741
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 2: like I said, I can only speak really for people

742
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: like me. I don't know. Some people say that they

743
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: can carry a grudge or hatred of people or whatever

744
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: the fuck, and its just it's light as to some breeze,

745
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: like it doesn't bother them at all. Now, I don't

746
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 2: know to a certain extent, I'm not even sure I

747
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 2: believe those people. I know they say it. I gotta

748
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: take their word for it because I'm not them. But

749
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: I know I've been around people, and I'm like, I

750
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: can tell that you're lying to yourself. You are holding

751
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: onto that and it's weighing you down. But you know

752
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: it's not for me. I can't unburden you, and it's

753
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 2: not for me to tell you what to do, but

754
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: for me personally, I just know that the trend, the style,

755
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: the what do you call it, the I don't know,

756
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: the like wave online, the wave in popular culture and media.

757
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: Now it's this whole like we don't forgive, we don't

758
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 2: let nothing go. The tiniest light is forever and that's

759
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: never been And I'm not gonna let social peer pressure

760
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 2: put me into that situation because it's a funny thing

761
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: to say, because you know, and I think a lot

762
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 2: more people are lying about it than me, and honest

763
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: because when you actually stop and think about the people

764
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: that we consider to be like petty enough that their

765
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 2: grudge is overtaking them and we kind of all laugh

766
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 2: at them. They're running jokes Monique uh Janet Hubert black Tress,

767
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: Like people laugh at those women. They don't actually like

768
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: you don't catch people being like like, while there's obviously

769
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 2: even when they have a good point, there's some people

770
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: that will be like, yeah, they have a good point,

771
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. But for the most part, they're easily

772
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: dismissed by most people because it's like they're wearing the

773
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: grudge on their shoulder to a point where we're like this,

774
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: you might tell me, you will probably look me in

775
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: my eyes and tell me this has no effect on you,

776
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 2: and you over it blah blah blah, But you not,

777
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: and it's affected everything about your whole org your work.

778
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: You're crying tears over this in interviews. You're never going

779
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: to be able to move on until you heal yourself

780
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 2: or forgive those people for you, not for them, but

781
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 2: until you can. Hey, these are the shortcomings. I accept

782
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 2: that they weren't able to do things in the way

783
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 2: that I thought was the right way to do. I'm

784
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 2: never gonna get the apology I feel like I deserve,

785
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: or in some cases we know that, like Monique for example,

786
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: got the apology, and still it's not enough. So yeah, like,

787
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like people kind of talk

788
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: out of one end, but their actions kind of belot

789
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: of truth when they when you know, when they mock

790
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: these people that do hold onto these grudges, it's like, Oh,

791
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: what you're really saying is you're not that you're not

792
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 2: actually team Petty all the time. You know your team

793
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: Petty to a point, and then it's like, okay, nigga,

794
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: before real if you bring up Will Smith one more time,

795
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm Okay, do you find it

796
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 2: hard to forgive people? Was a poe. Yes, not if

797
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: they apologize or no, not even if they apologize. I

798
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 2: think I phrased that question wrong. Uh, I think I

799
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 2: phrased that wrong. Do you find it hard to forgive people? Yes? No,

800
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: you know, not if they apologize? So so yes? Oh wait,

801
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: no I phrased it right. Okay, yeah, ok so yes

802
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: I find it hard to forgive people period. No, not

803
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: even if they apologize. Do I find it hard if

804
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: they don't apologize? Do I find it hard to forgive people?

805
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 2: Like I forgive people even if they never apologize. I'm

806
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: okay cool, And then there's not if they apologize. So

807
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: if they apologize, then I then it's not hard for

808
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 2: me to forgive them. So those are the three answers.

809
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: What do you have?

810
00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm being?

811
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 5: I'm being because you know, I've had people in my

812
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 5: personal life and family members and loved ones they don't apologize,

813
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 5: just their personality. A lot of old black people they

814
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 5: just don't apologize. So I had to forgive them niggas

815
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 5: and move on because I can't be mad at you

816
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 5: for fucking ever because you have so much goddamn pride

817
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 5: that you will never apologize to me.

818
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, and then so on in the chats at

819
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 2: Tower Banks and now mckevil. That's another one of those

820
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 2: like people people like move on because you don't like

821
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 2: team Petty. Actually you need to move the fuck on anyway. Yeah,

822
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm I'm actually probably in the third group now, but

823
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 2: I will say I'm both of the ones at the bottom.

824
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: I can I can fuck with. If you apologize, it's

825
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: absolutely easy for me to forgive you, you know, especially

826
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 2: if I feel like it's heartfelt, is meant you mean it,

827
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: you know. I think there's a lot of people that,

828
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: even if they get an apology, don't like accepting the

829
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: apology because you have to give up some power, correct,

830
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 2: And that means there's like a social contract of what

831
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: I told you to your face we were cool or

832
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: I accept your apology. Now, whether we have a relationship

833
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: or not, there's like a certain amount of like cordialness.

834
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: There's a certain amount of Okay, I'm not gonna just

835
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 2: bring this up at every chance and bring I'm not

836
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 2: gonna just rant and rave about you and hold you low.

837
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 2: Like at some point I'm gonna have to let this go,

838
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 2: and I don't think people like giving up that power.

839
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 5: No, they don't know, they don't. That's why they stay

840
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 5: there and they stay stuck. And and uh think pretty

841
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 5: smart say about pride or they don't want to admit

842
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 5: that they're wrong. To me, that's the same thing that

843
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 5: that pride is the thing that makes you don't want

844
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 5: to admit that you're wrong.

845
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 2: And there's people I have literally had to forgive for

846
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 2: myself and that never apologize and it's just and it's

847
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: okay like it. When I that, when I realized that lesson,

848
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: it was so freeing because that's when I realized, uh,

849
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: and we're talking about forgiving people who've wronged you, right, Well,

850
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 2: I'll get to the to the other side of this later,

851
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: but that's when I realize how much of this is

852
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: really about yourself. Forgiveness is a selfish thing. You know,

853
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: whether you want forgiveness, that's selfish, right, not that that's

854
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 2: wrong to be selfish. We put selfish and people think

855
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,959
Speaker 2: wrong bad. No, selfish, This means you put yourself first

856
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: in situation and that's okay. Sometimes if you won't forgiveness absolution,

857
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: that's kind of selfish. And then if you withhold want

858
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: or withhold it. That's selfish, But if you want to

859
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: practice it in order to move on, that's a selfish

860
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: act as well. And I need that sometimes. You know,

861
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: there's people where I'm like that person would never admit

862
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 2: they did me dirty, but I gotta move on, right,

863
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to give them this power

864
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: over my life where I'm consistently got a grudge against

865
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: this person, you know, and maybe they recognize it one day,

866
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 2: maybe they don't, but my existence cannot be contingent upon

867
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 2: their recognition of the wrong and writing it. Sometimes I

868
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 2: have to right the wrong myself and be like, Okay,

869
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: this is what I'm gonna do going forward. And also

870
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: so it doesn't poison me against other people other situations,

871
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: because you know, these are things you watch happen to

872
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: people and you're like, yo, this person is fucked up

873
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 2: because somebody did them wrong one day and they never

874
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: could get over it. So they keep repeating the same

875
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: cycles with more different people. Like nah, I've been there,

876
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 2: and it is.

877
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 4: It is.

878
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 5: It's like a disease to spread all over your body.

879
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 5: You'll start treating everybody mean. Like I said, I've been there,

880
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 5: mean and nasty and snapping in anything.

881
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 3: That reminds you of that situation.

882
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 5: You want to set the fuck on fire because all

883
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 5: it will go back is to that initial thing.

884
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: That started it.

885
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 5: But you're over it though, no, you're not really over it.

886
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 5: And then a lot of times I realized this too,

887
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 5: and I've done this a lot of people, a lot

888
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 5: of themselves, like you say, and they say that they're

889
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 5: over it, quote unquote, but what they did they just

890
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 5: buried it deep down. And the thing is, the longer

891
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 5: it's buried, when it does come back, it's even stronger

892
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 5: than before because it's like dormant. And so a lot

893
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 5: of people don't realize. And it has to be a

894
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 5: true cut, like a true like hey, I am no

895
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 5: longer going to wear this weight around my neck.

896
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 3: I am no longer going to be way down.

897
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 5: And the thing is, like you say, for forgiveness, I

898
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 5: realize this. Sometimes you have to close the door and

899
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 5: don't expect them to move on to And that's something

900
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 5: very hard for people to understand. A lot of people

901
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 5: sitting and waiting for people that are very powerful to

902
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 5: admit that they're wrong where they don't think they're wrong,

903
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 5: they're sitting and waiting you know, but nope, Nope. Sometimes

904
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 5: get your ass up, walk your ass over there, shut

905
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 5: the door, lock it, and throw the goddamn key away

906
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 5: where you never find it again. And move the fuck on,

907
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 5: because as long as you keep that door open, you

908
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 5: won't move on.

909
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: Well you know, to me, like the thing is not

910
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 2: rather than not you leave a door open or whatever.

911
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean. Boundaries are good, so there's nothing wrong with

912
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 2: a boundary. But like, I just feel like people are

913
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 2: watching for this moment that this person's gonna like realize

914
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 2: they were wrong and they come to you right, And

915
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: I feel like that watching is giving them power, that

916
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 2: waiting is giving them power. Then you have to take

917
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: the power back for yourself and be like, let me

918
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: concentrate within, let me concentrate on what he's me, let

919
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: me concentrate on letting things go. And man, I don't know,

920
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: maybe it's just my life, but it feel I feel

921
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: fortunate because every time a situation like this has occurred,

922
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 2: I have always gotten to move on to something better

923
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 2: for me, like you know, or realize the way that

924
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 2: they were putting in my life that I had never

925
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 2: gotten used to. And now I'm like, oh, this is

926
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: what free feels like. This is what happy feels like.

927
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 3: So right.

928
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 5: And also it's one of those things too the old

929
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 5: black people be like, you know, sweep around your own

930
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 5: front door, and sometimes you have to do that. You

931
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 5: literally have to sweep and clean and get rid of

932
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 5: things that don't belong there and that aren't aren't healthy

933
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 5: for you and for me personally, forgiveness is what's healthy.

934
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 5: Like you said, eventually you'll see the dirt, You'll get

935
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 5: used to the dirt, and the dirt becomes common and.

936
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 3: Before you know it, this is how it's supposed to look.

937
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 5: But the second you'd be like, you know what, let

938
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 5: me blow this vase off, and next thing you know,

939
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 5: you realize this is a beautiful vase.

940
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 3: You be like, well, god, damn, I didn't realize the

941
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 3: base is beautiful.

942
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: That's because it was.

943
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 5: Clouded by that unforgiveness, and so you really couldn't see

944
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 5: the beautiful and the dynamic and the wonderful things around you.

945
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 3: You really even couldn't.

946
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 5: Even really see the love that you're surrounded by the

947
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 5: people that support you, the people that are actually reaching

948
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 5: out trying to pull you out of this pit.

949
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 3: Because for me, it was a pit. This pit that

950
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: you in. People are like trying to help you.

951
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 5: But because you're just so wrapped up in your own

952
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 5: mind and wrapped up in your own thoughts and wrapped

953
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 5: up in this person, place, a thing or whatever it is,

954
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 5: you cannot.

955
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 3: See the sunset.

956
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 5: You know, all you see is rain and doom and

957
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 5: gloom and all this other shit. You know, you won't

958
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 5: even open up the blinds to the window to even

959
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 5: take a peek outside.

960
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 2: Right.

961
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 5: And so you know, once I started being like, you

962
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 5: know what, let me clean up in here. You wake

963
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 5: up one day and be like, hey, this is my

964
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 5: house so internally is a fucking chaos. Let me start

965
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 5: cleaning stuff out. And next thing you know, you start

966
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 5: throwing stuff and dumping stuff and packing stuff, and you know,

967
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 5: getting rid of trash and garbage and debris and shit,

968
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 5: and and before you know it, you start digging and

969
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 5: digging and digging. Before you know it, if you do

970
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 5: it right, you'll actually go back and stem to your

971
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 5: childhood like what are these things that cause me to

972
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 5: feel like this? And that's where the it's very painful

973
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 5: for people to look at those things, because before you

974
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 5: know it, you gotta forgive Grandpa, Grandma you gotta forgive

975
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 5: your mom, and you gotta forgive great aunts, you gotta

976
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 5: forgive cousins. You gotta forgive people for things. And some

977
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 5: people might be dead and gone, but you've got to

978
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 5: forgive them, even if you never have come a sation

979
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 5: with them again, even if you never bring it up again,

980
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 5: You've got to forgive them, because that's the only way

981
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 5: you're gonna be made whole, and that's the only way

982
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 5: chaos is going to leave. I'm saying this from experience,

983
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 5: because I had experience that happened when I was stuck

984
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 5: like Chuck and that she was on goddamn repeat, and

985
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 5: I could not move past that point. But once I

986
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 5: decided to wake up one day and clean the house

987
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 5: and take me some comment and some pledge and some

988
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 5: white soap and wipe them motherfucker down, and it got sparkling.

989
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 3: I said, Oh, I will never go back again.

990
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I see some in the chat that was

991
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: saying I'm moving on. I'm gonna no, I'm moving on.

992
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say what I got to say about it,

993
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 2: move out. You won't get the chance to do it

994
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 2: to me too many again. I'm not sure if I

995
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 2: was waiting for an apologet deserve one that I will

996
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 2: believe them anyways. Yeah, I like, I don't think it's

997
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 2: mutually exclusive, is what I'm saying, Like moving on cetain boundaries,

998
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: I think it is healthy. I don't think it has

999
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 2: to be unnecessarily a one or like, like, you can

1000
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 2: do both. You can be you can forgive somebody and

1001
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 2: not be waiting on their ass correct and be moving

1002
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 2: on with your life and all that shit. You know.

1003
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 2: And I am a person that I always do leave

1004
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: a little bit of a door open for if a

1005
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 2: person grows and comes back like and that's not me

1006
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: waiting on it, but just that's the kind of person

1007
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 2: I am, and I and I have to respect the

1008
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 2: kind of person I am, because I think what happens

1009
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: is with a lot of less performative shit people do

1010
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: for the internet and impress other people and all this shit,

1011
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 2: you start saying shit that's not even you. Now, I'm

1012
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 2: not saying everybody's like me. I think most people aren't,

1013
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 2: maybe because at least from my experience, But I am

1014
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 2: a person that and it's okay to be the kind

1015
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 2: of person I am. When I'm like, it doesn't mean

1016
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 2: you're back in my life. Doesn't mean we have a relationship,

1017
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean any of that shit, but it might

1018
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 2: mean that, you know, if I can give you closure

1019
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 2: as well, because you do wake up and feel bad

1020
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: about it. Now, I'm willing to give that. But that's

1021
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 2: the kind of person I am. A lot of people

1022
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: are not going to be able to or they might

1023
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 2: fall into the same habits and all like, there's a

1024
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 2: bunch of other shit that can possibly happen, and of

1025
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: course it depends on the nature of the relationship and stuff.

1026
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 2: But you know, I am a person that, like, I'll

1027
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 2: move on and if one day you come up later

1028
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 2: like yo, I actually realize I was wrong in that situation.

1029
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 2: All right, cool, we're straight, Like, I don't want you

1030
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 2: to feel My goal is not to be like no,

1031
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 2: fuck you niggas coming all that Like to me, I

1032
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 2: haven't healed until that's gone correct like that. And there's

1033
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 2: been situations where you know, you think you healed and

1034
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 2: you haven't because that anger and all that shit is

1035
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 2: right beneath the surface. It is and it's right. But

1036
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 2: I think true healing is when I can look you

1037
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 2: in your face and be like, I'm not even fucking

1038
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 2: mad at you, dog like, like I might feel a

1039
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 2: bunch of other ways, but the raising shit is gone,

1040
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,399
Speaker 2: you know, because I still feel like I'm giving too

1041
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: much power to you when I do that, you know,

1042
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 2: and I and that's that's the thing I'm trying to

1043
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 2: move away from, is to be like, nah, like this

1044
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 2: is my energy in this circle. You know that I

1045
00:52:59,040 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 2: own this.

1046
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 3: Come in here and fuck it up and I control this.

1047
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 2: Anyway, forty one percent of y'all say yes, y'all find

1048
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 2: it hard to forgive people. I appreciate the honesty there,

1049
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 2: because I think a lot of people find it hard

1050
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 2: to forgive people.

1051
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,919
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and it's a process, I know. When people

1052
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,959
Speaker 5: think about it, people think you just supposed to forgive people.

1053
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.

1054
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: Some of this shit took years for me. Yeah, And

1055
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 2: I think it's also one of the things I think

1056
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 2: people don't talk about. But it's like a muscle. It's

1057
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 2: like an exercise. You get better at it the more

1058
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 2: you do it, agree, you know, But you have to

1059
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 2: find healthy ways to do it. I don't just mean

1060
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: like this nigga slapped me in the face forgiving like nah,

1061
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 2: I mean you have to find healthy ways to do it.

1062
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 2: But the more you practice it, I feel like the

1063
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 2: better people get at it, not if they apologize. That's

1064
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,919
Speaker 2: thirty about thirty one percent of y'all. I also can't

1065
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 2: agree with that. I think, yeah, people apologize to me.

1066
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's funny, like you don't have to do

1067
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: a big performance. Like like I said, Man, I had

1068
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: a kid that I played ball with me this week, man,

1069
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 2: and I was like, man, it's good. After that, we

1070
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 2: was talking about just regular shit that we always be

1071
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 2: talking about, because it's like, Yo, I'm not gonna try

1072
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 2: to make you feel bad. You fucked up. You probably

1073
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 2: felt bad immediately or not soon after this shit happened

1074
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 2: three four days ago, and if it bothered you enough

1075
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 2: that as soon as you saw me you wanted to

1076
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: come over and hug me and say I'm sorry. I

1077
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 2: know it was on your heart, and you ain't gotta

1078
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 2: explain to me how fucked up it was or how

1079
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: bad it made you. I don't like, I don't get

1080
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 2: off on that, like I'm just glad we could be

1081
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 2: cool again and let's move the fuck on. And I

1082
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 2: think that's the other difference, especially before the internet and

1083
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 2: everything was on record. I mean, that used to just

1084
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 2: be my life. You know, I have friends. My friends

1085
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 2: make mistakes, sometimes I make mistakes. Sometimes. It used to

1086
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 2: not be a big fucking ordeal and the end of.

1087
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 3: The goddamn world and just brun the whole fucking relationship.

1088
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 3: You Like, the fuck is this?

1089
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? I wonder if that's an Internet thing, because we

1090
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 2: now can keep track of shit with screenshots and old

1091
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 2: links and shit forever. But it feels like it didn't

1092
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 2: used to always be this way. Like it used to

1093
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, you fucked up, But in the course

1094
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 2: of a relationship between two people of any type, there

1095
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 2: will be fuck ups. No one's perfect. So I don't know,

1096
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 2: at least that's the relationships I cultivated. We're not ones

1097
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 2: of like I rolled with an iron fish, you fucked up,

1098
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: get out of there, you know. But it feels like

1099
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 2: it's more of that way now.

1100
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:23,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1101
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 5: No, Also, like I said, I don't know if it's

1102
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 5: an old black thing. I've realized, particularly with the Internet

1103
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 5: age of people, some of them y'all not real friends,

1104
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 5: because sometimes things happen and I'm like, if somebody actually

1105
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 5: cared and had a.

1106
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 3: Relationship with you, they would not put this bullshit online.

1107
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 5: Like, I'm used to having people that are friends in

1108
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 5: my life and we can have personal conversations and laughing

1109
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 5: joke about shit, and it stays fucking right there.

1110
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 3: There's no tape recorder, there's no camera, there's no phone.

1111
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 5: You're not taking it and posting that shit online laughing,

1112
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 5: trying to fucking.

1113
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 3: Embarrass me because you think the shit is fucking flee.

1114
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 2: Or like, I have a problem, the first place I'm

1115
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 2: gonna run to is my social media to talk about it,

1116
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: rather than with you. To me, that's more about the

1117
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 2: example that y'all weren't friends, like especially now, it's so

1118
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 2: easy to be quote unquote friends, right, follower, friend, all

1119
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 2: these words that don't mean what they mean, you know,

1120
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 2: but on social media, you know, eh, that's her friend,

1121
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 2: my Facebook friend. Not really, I.

1122
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 3: Don't know you.

1123
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 2: You're still a stranger to me. You know, one thing

1124
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 2: can happen and you're ready to throw me in the trash,

1125
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 2: like that's not a friend quote unquote council next time, right.

1126
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 2: But I think it has changed things. I just hadn't

1127
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 2: even thought about this, but it's changed a lot because

1128
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 2: you're right, we started calling people friends and shit that

1129
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 2: aren't friends. It's we took a couple of selfies together,

1130
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 2: we you know, posted this on Instagram or some shit

1131
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 2: we tweet or Facebook back and forth or whatever. But

1132
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 2: if I'm a friend, the first time one of us

1133
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 2: makes a mistake, it's not everybody's business. So that for

1134
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: if that's my technique, if that's my tactic, we're not

1135
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 2: actually friends.

1136
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 3: No, we're not.

1137
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 5: And you know, and the thing is, even friends like

1138
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 5: real life friends I've met online, it took years to

1139
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 5: get to the point that I called them a friend.

1140
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 3: People that you are calling a friend, y'all took years.

1141
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 3: Y'all didn't learn each other overnight.

1142
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 5: It took years and decades of trusting and going through

1143
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 5: shit and le depending on each other and.

1144
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 3: Shit like that before you call them a friend.

1145
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 5: But like you say, friend is something that people just

1146
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 5: throw around casually and a lot of.

1147
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 3: Times to be told.

1148
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 5: People are snakes with that we're a friend, and they'll

1149
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 5: say that just to get close to you because you

1150
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 5: have something that they want that they desire from.

1151
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 2: You, or gossip, whatever it is.

1152
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 3: They just want something.

1153
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 5: And so once they realize that, oh, y'all not friends,

1154
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 5: that's when people turn and they start doing this shit,

1155
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 5: because y'all will never friends.

1156
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be seeing people flip out on each other online.

1157
00:57:58,400 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, weren't they friends? And then I have to

1158
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 2: go back and be like, probably not if they if

1159
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 2: I know you got a problem, probably not, because that's

1160
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 2: not how friendship. That's not how friends handleshit, you know anyway, No,

1161
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 2: not even if they apologize. So if they don't apologize,

1162
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 2: I'm sorry now. Not even if they don't apologize, I

1163
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 2: don't have a hard time forgiving them all right, Lenny says,

1164
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: if someone wants to get it getting to Tony Morrison,

1165
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 2: I highly recommend the recent documentary Tony Morrison The Pieces

1166
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 2: I Am. It's Tony morrisonfilm dot com. It has been

1167
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 2: playing in theaters, but it's an American Masters film, so

1168
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 2: we'll be coming to PBS soon. Society has a tendency

1169
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 2: to assign famous people one role or one personality, especially

1170
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 2: after they passed. The doc was a good illustration that

1171
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 2: she was more than a writer. And if you don't

1172
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 2: want to get into Tony Morrison, that's okay too. There's

1173
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 2: so much content out here. People should do what feels

1174
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 2: comfortable for them. Thanks Lenny. Shout out to our listeners though.

1175
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a lot of smart people out there.

1176
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 2: The last episode of the week was we got we

1177
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 2: got five comments on this? Uh scrolled down and read

1178
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 2: these bad boys moving a little slow website. Okay, here

1179
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 2: we go, Jared says, Dearest Tomorrows glad y'all brought up

1180
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: the criticism of a Black Lady Sketch Show episode, regardless

1181
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 2: of whether someone related to it or not. It was

1182
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 2: funny as hell, that's undeniable. I cry laughed and snort

1183
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 2: laughed throughout the whole episode, and the short show as

1184
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 2: hell isn't for me. Yeah, that's another thing that's weird too,

1185
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 2: I guess. And it's being a black man who enjoys,

1186
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 2: like trying to enjoy like a lot of content from

1187
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 2: just the the world. Not everything is gonna be for

1188
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 2: me or quote unquote relatable to me in a direct

1189
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 2: way because I'm watching stuff that isn't my experience. I'm

1190
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 2: watching polls and enjoying the fuck out of it. Am

1191
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 2: I am? I supposed to be tweeting how I don't

1192
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,439
Speaker 2: relate to the characters because you know what I mean?

1193
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 2: Like that seemed like such a weird takedown. And then

1194
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 2: to be in the demographic and say you don't relate

1195
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 2: to it. It's such a like, I know what, it's

1196
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 2: a dog whistle to, like these are not the real

1197
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 2: kind of blacks, you know. That's what it's for is

1198
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 2: to do that. And I've seen them do it with

1199
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: like Isa Ray and Donald Glover and all this shit

1200
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: until and it's so this is the most ironic part though,

1201
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 2: And this is what's so funny about these niggas until

1202
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 2: white people like it. Y'all ever notice that Donald Glover's

1203
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 2: a coon, Donald Glover's a sellout, Donald Glover gay, Donald Glover,

1204
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 2: all this other shit, he can't rap, he's corny. Then

1205
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 2: white people give him a couple of awards, and now

1206
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 2: niggas love Donald Glover. I was there for that. I

1207
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 2: remember I got mocked. That was a big deal. Like

1208
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 2: what our podcast was? I like Donald Glover rapping before

1209
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 2: other people did. And it was like, you know all this.

1210
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not gonna rehash the whole thing because

1211
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 2: I'm cool with these people now, but it was like

1212
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 2: a big fucking thing. They no one could believe that

1213
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 2: anyone just happened to like the dude. It had to

1214
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 2: be some type of conspiracy. Now he's one of the

1215
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 2: biggest stars on the planet that that critique. It sounds

1216
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 2: silly now to be like what people were forced to

1217
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 2: like Donald. No, they just some people just liked it.

1218
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 2: And I like, I was one of those people that

1219
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 2: just liked. I liked him rapping, I liked uh community

1220
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and he just turned out to

1221
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 2: be of this megastar or whatever. I didn't know he's

1222
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 2: gonna do all that, but I was a fan and

1223
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,479
Speaker 2: and I'm not some cool ass nigga, and i don't

1224
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 2: hate black women and I don't uh you know, like

1225
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm not one of those people. And so so it

1226
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 2: didn't fit to a lot of people. I liked him.

1227
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 2: And now look at it he now when well fucking

1228
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 2: Atlanta ones emmy, everyone black celebrates that shit. Everybody. Yeah

1229
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 2: they did deserve it, Yeah, Atlanta, you know he's getting

1230
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 2: up there bringing up bad and ugi and now that

1231
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: the song is number one on iTunes, the next one,

1232
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 2: and like, yeah, man, if we stop trying to kick

1233
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 2: everybody out of blackness or stop being so distrusting of

1234
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,439
Speaker 2: black people who are getting on, then I think it'll

1235
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 2: be a lot healthier. And this is like at least

1236
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 2: let the motherfucker do something that's really blatant before you

1237
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 2: just start like casting them out of the motherfucking race

1238
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 2: dog Like those women that do that show haven't done

1239
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 2: anything bad to anyone. So I don't know why the

1240
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 2: assumption is that, like what the next episode is gonna

1241
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 2: be a secret Republican plot the next like yeah, episode

1242
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 2: two is when they came out and was like, hey,

1243
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: we actually, uh make America great again. It was a

1244
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 2: pro Donald Trump episode, like get the fuck out of here.

1245
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 2: And always for white people. That hasn't been a fucking

1246
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 2: white person on the show yet. It's two episodes in.

1247
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't think I've seen a white person.

1248
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 2: I was like, like I stinging around us, Like I

1249
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 2: don't know how much more for us it gets. And

1250
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 2: for us, I mean for black women, not even for

1251
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 2: us as black men. Like, but it's not. It's just

1252
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 2: not a show that's concerned with And I'm not saying

1253
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 2: that means black me can't watch. I'm saying it just

1254
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be a show that's concerned with the

1255
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 2: white people that y'all claim is concerned about when you

1256
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 2: hate it. So anyway, this whole show a movie has

1257
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 2: to be for me to be funny, good mentality. It

1258
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 2: has gotten old and tired. Well, how you gonna make

1259
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 2: a think piece? If you know how you gonna get

1260
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 2: that hot far tweet off, if you're not trying to

1261
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 2: make everything look like get it. I ain't never followed

1262
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 2: somebody this morning because they did that shit. I'm like,

1263
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 2: everything can't be for you, about you, not for you,

1264
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 2: but everything can't be about you. You know I think

1265
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: it was now you know. I'm not even going to

1266
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 2: details anyway. Y'all really been on the road this week.

1267
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 2: I've been really impressed listening to discussed serious topics like

1268
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 2: financial aid and welfare while occasionally finding humor. In these

1269
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 2: past weeks, this has been especially cathartic for me personally.

1270
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for this kill the great work, Jerish,

1271
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 2: Thanks Jered.

1272
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1273
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 2: We try, We try. Although next week I'm planning on

1274
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 2: talking about something that's probably gonna some of y'all not

1275
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 2: gonna be able to handle. Probably I wait for an

1276
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 2: episode it's just me and Karen, but I will be

1277
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 2: defending Taylor Swift at some point this week because I

1278
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 2: think the hate is gone too far and just be prepared. Okay,

1279
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 2: I might want skip that episode to know how some

1280
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 2: of y'all all with her. But it's gone too far, y'all, y'all,

1281
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 2: y'all getting kind of crazy. Jenniker says, I'm screaming at

1282
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 2: this wedding story. Oh my god, I'm harridfied. Why was

1283
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 2: she still drinking laxative shakes that close to the wedding.

1284
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 2: I have so many other questions. I can never shout

1285
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 2: out to her groom. He must have really loved her.

1286
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 2: I hope the marriage last. I mean, if you made

1287
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 2: it through that night, do you think, y'all, what do

1288
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 2: you do? You have to have sex on the honeymoon

1289
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 2: after that?

1290
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 3: Because I'm I.

1291
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Don't know how you make that work. You know a

1292
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 2: lot of people say you have to have sex on

1293
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 2: the wedding night? Do you.

1294
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 3: I am disgusting.

1295
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 2: Jenkins says, Wait, they're redoing nine D two and oh again.

1296
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 2: They already revived it back when I was in high

1297
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 2: school in two thousand and eight. I remember when Mac

1298
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 2: Wilds was on It. Has a show ever been rebooted? Twice? Wow?

1299
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I guess maybe Scooby Dude. I don't know,

1300
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 2: probably Felix says, Oh boy, I hope Nate Parker learned

1301
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 2: something while he was away. Hate did not support black creators.

1302
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 2: But the way he handled himself throughing Birth of the

1303
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 2: Nature Press stuff was disappointed. Yeah, low kid, was no

1304
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 2: right way he could have handled that shit. It was

1305
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 2: just a rap I don't know like and then well,

1306
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 2: there was no right way he could have handled it

1307
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 2: that would have saved as much as I'm sure people

1308
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 2: would have liked to see the momentum for the movie,

1309
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 2: like the people that wanted that movie to succeed, they

1310
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 2: would have liked to see him, I don't know galvanized

1311
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 2: the momentum turn into something positive. There was no way

1312
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 2: to do that. He basically was mitigating his losses. And

1313
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 2: I think the worst thing he did was when he

1314
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 2: basically broke character and let everybody know he really wasn't

1315
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 2: that serious about the shit he was saying, because he

1316
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 2: tried to be like, I'm gonna go on tours and

1317
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk about consin blah blah blah, and then

1318
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 2: the close the more questions he got, the more he

1319
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 2: was basically like, Okay, I'm thinking this shit. Fuck y'all,

1320
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 2: I'm not doing any of that, and that was it.

1321
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 2: That was it. But I just think it's interesting because

1322
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 2: he's back, nobody gets canceled. And what's even worse is

1323
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 2: the plot to that new movie actually sound kind of dope,

1324
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 2: but I can't picture him doing no press about it.

1325
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to send them other actors out there

1326
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 2: to do all the press, and then they gonna get asked,

1327
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 2: what's it like working with Nate Parker. Jesus Trey says, Hey,

1328
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 2: Roder Karen, thanks for bringing up people's weird reactions to

1329
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 2: a black lace sketch show. I'm like, what show are

1330
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 2: y'all watching? The show is hilarious, historical and original. I

1331
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 2: absolutely loved it. Oh the of the course, the Internet

1332
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 2: being the Internet. Of course, the Internet being the Internet,

1333
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 2: people had to project their own personal shit on the

1334
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 2: critique of the show. Yeah. Now, of course, it's totally

1335
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 2: fine if the show just wasn't someone's particular cup of tea,

1336
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 2: but a good amount, not all, of the criticism kind

1337
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 2: of comes off like some black folks trying to judge

1338
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 2: another black person's blackness, which is never gonna end well

1339
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 2: for anyone. Yeah, you know what I think is interesting

1340
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 2: because I watched the episode two last night. It like

1341
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 2: sketch shows, it's kind of like people are treating this

1342
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 2: almost like Ken Peel got treated right where and that

1343
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 2: was like resentment that Chapelle show wasn't on anymore and

1344
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 2: all this other shit. But when you go back and

1345
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 2: watch the shows like now because it's on Hulu, I

1346
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 2: mean I always loved it, and I was upfront about that.

1347
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 2: I love sketch comedy anyway, But when you go back

1348
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 2: and watch it without that lens, without that like that

1349
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle's shadow over it, it's like, Yo, this shit

1350
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 2: was actually funny, and people weren't. People were like calling

1351
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 2: them coons and clowns, and this shit wasn't even like

1352
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 2: coonery like that. Like they are both half black, so

1353
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 2: you know, or as I like to call them black,

1354
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 2: but they were so like to me. I never was

1355
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 2: offended by characters they did because they black too, like

1356
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 2: the Buck, Like you're gonna tell me if I do

1357
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 2: a sketch show, I can't play a slave, nigga, I'm black,

1358
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 2: I can't so anyway, So I thought that shit was funny.

1359
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 2: But like all sketch shows, they're all hit or missed

1360
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 2: Some sketches are gonna catch you, some aren't. Some you're

1361
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 2: gonna be like, oh, I like this bit for two minutes.

1362
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 2: I didn't like this bit for five, Like, you know,

1363
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 2: like it's hard. It's jazz. You're trying to figure out

1364
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 2: this rhythm or whatever. But if I watch a sketch

1365
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 2: show and I'm like, I like, say, three out of

1366
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 2: the five sketches, that's a good night, Yes that is,

1367
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 2: you know, but I think now with Twitter, like the

1368
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 2: expectation is like five out of five. This shit ain't

1369
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 2: five out of five. I ain't laughing falling on the

1370
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 2: ground to every sketch, every joke, every line. This was trash,

1371
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 2: you know. And plus it's hard to live tweeter sketch

1372
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 2: show and they have so many jokes per minute on

1373
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 2: that show. Then I know I can't live tweet it.

1374
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 2: Like I will like a line, I'm like, oh that

1375
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 2: shit was funny, but I gotta pay attention, yeah.

1376
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 3: Because there's another line behind U did you possibly miss?

1377
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 2: And it's kind of a smart show, so you're trying

1378
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 2: to figure out some of the sketches you know, supposed

1379
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 2: to as opposed to just being like, oh, the whole

1380
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 2: sketches that they talk funny. It's like, no, there's an

1381
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 2: extra level to this anyway, Hopefully with some perspective and

1382
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 2: time and as people get used to it, the audience

1383
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 2: that likes it will stay and have a good time,

1384
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 2: and the audience that don't will find some other shit

1385
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 2: to complain about.

1386
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 3: Correct.

1387
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:41,160

1400
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 2: This one I tried to play earlier, and I don't

1401
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: think it was my machine. I think it was the call.

1402
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 2: It just sounded like it was crinkled up. It's the

1403
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 2: best way I could put it, the number seven or

1404
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,520
Speaker 2: four five, five seven zero one eight six leave voicemails.

1405
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 2: They got to be two minutes or less. I will

1406
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 2: try to play the ones that are legible.

1407
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine.

1408
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 2: So you can't we can't understand it. I'm sorry, but

1409
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 2: this is what I heard earlier. Yeah, so it's not that, Yeah,

1410
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 2: it's not us. It's uh, whatever was going on with this,

1411
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,600
Speaker 2: and I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what happened.

1412
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 3: Voicemail, so sorry.

1413
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 2: I think it was something about a candidate called Michael

1414
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 2: Bennett or something, and they were better than they like.

1415
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 2: We may have made jokes, have been dismissive of it.

1416
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 2: I don't remember what we said about Michael Bennett because

1417
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 2: there's twenty two candidates. So uh yeah, sorry about your man,

1418
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 2: and good luck to you. Man might be a nice

1419
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 2: guy for all I know. But then we got some

1420
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 2: I think Titania called us. I will try to play

1421
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 2: this one. You know'd like to take his time on Skype.

1422
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 2: So let's just all pray. Seven or four five, five

1423
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 2: seven zero one a six is the voicemail line, and

1424
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 2: she left three of them. Okay, so I'm assuming she

1425
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 2: cut off two of them and then left a third.

1426
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 3: I got a lot to say.

1427
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 2: You know how it is, guys, Yeah, you gotta come

1428
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 2: with a game plan. You're gonna be leaving a whole

1429
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:07,679
Speaker 2: bunch of messages or Skype's gonna take forever to play.

1430
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: So you also got that side of it.

1431
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 3: I'm surprised nobody came with a good alternative Skype, yet.

1432
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 2: I think some people do. I don't know at this point,

1433
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 2: it would takes so long to start everything over just

1434
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 2: because we need it was doing fine too. Guess what

1435

Speaker 1: for your recap as a married concert. It was awesome.

1445
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: I definitely listened to that episode twice. So a couple

1446
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: of things. I am a little, a little way above this,

1447
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: but I want to talk about or just like mentioned

1448
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine we talked about three a BM. Yes,

1449
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: three Aben is a seven day Adventist like fundamentalist channel.

1450
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: And also I know in last feedback episode you said

1451
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 1: that mentioned that on Sunday Defendant is a cult and

1452
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: it's not a cult. It is a Christian denomination. The

1453
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: biggest things about it. It was in eighteen nineteen, eighteen

1454
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:43,520
Speaker 1: sixty three in the US, and it is a worldwide denomination.

1455
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 1: It definitely practices the seventh Day Saburth as a Saturday,

1456
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: and it's known for like a vegetarianism, and it is

1457
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: known as being a bit strict. But there aren't famous

1458
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: seven dy dentists, notably Devonklin. Prince was raised Sunday Aventist,

1459
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,600
Speaker 1: but he left. Pert Franklin as well used to be

1460
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: parts of it and to stay Prince was Brian McKnight.

1461
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: And of course you know Ben Carson is a bad example.

1462
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,799
Speaker 1: We don't like, we don't claim him earn most adventure

1463
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: circles or like the more liberal Advented circles. And as well,

1464
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:23,480
Speaker 1: I want to say that the Adventist community actually is well,

1465
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: it's pretty accepting. In my congregation. They actually held baby

1466
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: showers for women who had she was out of wedlock.

1467
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry to hear about the other caller who

1468
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,520
Speaker 1: had a very negative experience in her congregation.

1469
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that was the first one. Uh, let me see

1470
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 2: I play the next one. I want to just kind

1471
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 2: of take favorite to guess. We'll find out together. But yeah,

1472
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 2: I don't remember calling them a cult, but uh, yeah

1473
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 2: I may have. I'm not very I don't have a

1474
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 2: lot of religions in high regards.

1475
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Crying again. I was trying to not get up off

1476
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: about the too many wars, so I called back and yeah,

1477
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to say about the Adventist State

1478
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 1: as well, that there, yes, I guess there are fundamentalists,

1479
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 1: but there are as well with any within any religion,

1480
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: there are people who are more liberal. And I guess

1481
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 1: I was also say like just the testimony or I

1482
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:27,600
Speaker 1: didn't say testimony, but I guess, uh, I guess what

1483
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 1: testimony was? Go with that word. When I studied abroad

1484
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: in Germany and in Spain, I looked out for I

1485
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: searched on be Good. There is a website and you

1486
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: can see the different churches in your area or worldwide,

1487
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:44,759
Speaker 1: and so I reached out to for a community community

1488
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: a very big thing within the Adventist faith. And while

1489
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm not a bi Churches of Seven Adventists, I still

1490
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 1: like when I went to Germany and when I went

1491
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:57,799
Speaker 1: to Spain, I looked for a congregation and they definitely

1492
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: like looked out for me and welcome to me into

1493
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: a new culture. So it is just comforting to have

1494
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:07,600
Speaker 1: that when you go somewhere. And also and reacted to

1495
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty five and you talked about stut Gart, I

1496
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: did want to say that, if you're interested, the pronunciation

1497
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: is Stutzgart in German. I studied German. And then yes,

1498
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: about the Jonas boys, they do go by the Germans brothers. Yes,

1499
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 1: I do like pop music, and so yes it's the

1500
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:29,680
Speaker 1: Germans brothers. I love you guys so much and just

1501
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 1: want to thank you again for your service and it

1502
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: will give to you guys before love you.

1503
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. And if she left one more after

1504
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:43,679
Speaker 2: that they did, well, then we'll leave. We'll give commentary

1505
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 2: after that.

1506
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 1: Hey, rodcast tie again, I announced the third one. I

1507
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: was trying to I got here the first ones. Again,

1508
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: we're nervous anyways, So I'll just realize one more funny connection.

1509
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:00,520
Speaker 1: I think since some day Ventism started in the US,

1510
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: I thought, my mom actually is from Saint Lucia, and

1511
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: she remembers little Richie coming to Saint Lucia and like

1512
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 1: going around her village to spread the Gospel. So I

1513
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: just thought that was a funny tidbit. And then as

1514
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: well to say that, I think that little Ritchie is

1515
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: probably thinking probably way more in the doctrine of the

1516
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:25,679
Speaker 1: church rather than like developing a relationship with God, because

1517
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: like with the example of Devon Franklin, he was raised

1518
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: Adventist and he is still in Hollywood, and he still

1519
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: observes the Sabbath. In the end, he has gone on

1520
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: like Joel Austine's programs, He's gone in the Oprah, so

1521
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: like he hasn't let like his experience with the Adventist

1522
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 1: Church like stop him from from like living his truth

1523
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: and like and having success in Hollywood, where I think

1524
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: like maybe little Ritchie is probably just really was really

1525
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 1: in doctor with the doctrine of the church and probably

1526
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: just got really probably so guilty for like not living

1527
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 1: up to the doctrine rather than having a true relationship.

1528
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say as well, I probably shouldn't hope

1529
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: this is with Son Dredge mental like I'm judging his

1530
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: probably does, but I'm not intending for this to be

1531
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: kind of like a judgmental thing on his wayship for

1532
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: God that like I'm on the outside, we don't know

1533
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: what he's going through. But if you just think it's

1534
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: said that he's going on like Rebn and feeling like

1535
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: he can't live to that fan sic self again, Love

1536
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: you guys, and I'm getting my money right so that

1537
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: I can donate to you guys.

1538
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 4: I love you all.

1539
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: Looking forward to hearing your show this week.

1540
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 2: All right, cool, thanks to Taya. I'm actually gonna pause

1541
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 2: here because we're right at the break now and we

1542
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 2: need to go to the next segment. All right, We're back.

1543
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 2: And so there was a lot of stuff that got

1544
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 2: covered in there. Like I said, I may have been

1545
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 2: dismissed and said it was a cult or something that

1546
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 2: just means I heard of it. I pretty much say

1547
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 2: all religious are cults. So I'm just much more popular

1548
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 2: than others. So welcome into my brain. And it's little Richer,

1549
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 2: not little Richie. Because I saw everybody in chat room

1550
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 2: being like it's like, no, and I don't really care

1551
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 2: what people's religions are. Zones are not hurting anybody. Yep,

1552
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,600
Speaker 2: that little Richard interview made me sad because I was like,

1553
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 2: I think, I know it's his own relationship with God,

1554
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 2: but I think him using a public platform to say

1555
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 2: that shit really hurts a lot of other kids that

1556
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 2: maybe dealing with their own like sexual orientation. And then

1557
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 2: you have this prominent figure who's been outwardly gay and

1558
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 2: proud sometimes and into closet and shame sometimes, and here

1559
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 2: he is kind of like, you know, acting like it's wrong.

1560
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 2: And I think that's bad, you know, But obviously I

1561
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 2: am empathetic and understanding. That's why it made me more

1562
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 2: sad than it made me. Like, I'm not angry at him,

1563
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 2: but I'm sad that that's an example some kid is

1564
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 2: gonna see. So, Karen, did you have anything to add?

1565
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 2: All right? All right, we got one more voicemail to

1566
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 2: get to and then we'll be done with the voicemails.

1567
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 2: Let's see. Okay, so this is from yesterday. All right,

1568
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 2: we'll let that love in the background. But yeah, we

1569
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:34,679
Speaker 2: appreciate the calls out and whatnot.

1570
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 6: Hey, right in here and this is I'm trying to

1571
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 6: off of Twitter. I was listening to y'all episode and

1572
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,720
Speaker 6: y'all talking about the older generation, and it keeps the

1573
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,679
Speaker 6: thought keyps one coming in my mind about like my grandmother,

1574
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 6: and my grandmother is seventy seven, and I keep thinking

1575
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 6: about the things that she's gone through and how the

1576
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 6: younger generations just act like they never went through anything.

1577
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 6: And I was listening to y'all Joe Biden conversation about

1578
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 6: why do they like him so much and things like that,

1579
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 6: and it's fascinating to me about how quickly people have

1580
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 6: forgot stuff of the older generation going through stuff. My grandmother,

1581
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 6: and she seventy seven, had went through desegregation. She was

1582
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 6: a school teacher and she went through people calling her

1583
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 6: the end works and a face, all kind of horrible

1584
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 6: stuff as a teacher. And we got people that hardly

1585
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 6: haven't gone through anything, and they're just like, man, forget

1586
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 6: the stuff that's gone in the past to get the

1587
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 6: people that have gone through the actual hardships. And it's

1588
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 6: just amazing for me, and I get baffled every time

1589
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 6: it happens. And I just wanted to give y'all chat

1590
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 6: accuse I love listening to y'all and I appreciate y'all

1591
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 6: so much because I love y'all insights, because I agree

1592
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 6: with a majority of the things that y'all say, and

1593
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 6: just keep on doing what y'all doing. And just I

1594
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 6: loved the episode with you and Bossy as well as

1595
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 6: the interview that you did with the medium pack with stuff.

1596
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 2: Oh I've done anyway, Okay, thank you. That was a

1597
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:14,680
Speaker 2: great voice. Yeah. And the thing that's interesting, man, I

1598
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 2: noticed this all the time when, especially when voting comes

1599
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 2: up people Black people, at least online and maybe it's everywhere,

1600
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 2: but black people online throw away two groups of black

1601
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 2: voters all the time, the older black voters and the

1602
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 2: southern Black voters. Yes, they do, and that ship. That

1603
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 2: is a thing that gets to me, and it does

1604
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 2: make me upset. But like, I think there's a wisdom

1605
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 2: to the fact that older black people have seen so

1606
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 2: much and they have a perspective that is not blind

1607
01:22:57,120 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 2: idealism and people that's very inconvenient when it comes to politics,

1608
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 2: and politicians sort of prey on the idealism of people.

1609
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 2: And while you know you hope to galvanize, you want

1610
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 2: some idealism, you want some youthful exuberance. You want all

1611
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 2: that shit, right that that health campaigns, it's your The

1612
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 2: best people on the ground are these young normally, these

1613
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 2: young people that are just so yeah, i've never seen

1614
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:27,720
Speaker 2: anything bad before, let's go, you know, And I get it,

1615
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 2: you know, they they're the ones more likely to carry

1616
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 2: your your banner and all this shit. I totally do

1617
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 2: understand that. But but one of the reasons I think

1618
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 2: like older black people aren't like afraid of Biden or

1619
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton is because they were around to see the

1620
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 2: context of their actions at the time, correct, and they

1621
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 2: weren't super villains who just you know, turned like suddenly

1622
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 2: turned on the black community for no reason. You fucked up.

1623
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 2: And so it's very inconvenient to bring that up now,

1624
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 2: you know. It's easier to it's easier to just kind

1625
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 2: of be like, yeah, they did this out of nowhere.

1626
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 2: We don't know why, they just turned fucking even one

1627
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 2: day everybody you know, they was, including the first black president.

1628
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,679
Speaker 2: And then it crashed the crime bill because he hates

1629
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 2: secretly he wanted to put us in prison the whole time.

1630
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 2: Like that's an easier narrative than the one of you know, uh,

1631
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:31,679
Speaker 2: from the time of Reagan, there was crack cocaine pushed

1632
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 2: into our neighborhoods that then UH devalued and and and

1633
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 2: and criminalized our environment. So now you end up with UH,

1634
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 2: you know, black people UH having more violence in their

1635
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 2: neighborhoods over policing UH. And you're already dealing with a

1636
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 2: racialized country in the first place, that doesn't see our

1637
01:24:55,560 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 2: lives as as as independent or whatever. And then once

1638
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 2: you deal with that, guess what the people in the

1639
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 2: neighborhood want. They want to be separated from the people

1640
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 2: who are on drugs, selling drugs and doing crime. Now

1641
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 2: that's a very inconvenient thing to do because guess what

1642
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 2: close people are black then come from outside the neighborhood

1643
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 2: and do that. Not a coka mail came from outside

1644
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 2: the neighborhood, right, you know. But we're victims of it.

1645
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 2: We're looking for solutions. And now our solution is like,

1646
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 2: get these people out of here, get them into jail,

1647
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 2: get them in the rehab something. But I can't let

1648
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 2: my kid walk past crack pipes on the way. I

1649
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 2: can't let my kid drop out of school, start selling

1650
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 2: drugs and join a gang. And so now you have

1651
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 2: this paranoia and this fear, and this is an environment

1652
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 2: in the world where the United States has always had

1653
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 2: propaganda against black people constantly. So people are so much

1654
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 2: more willing to believe the worst of our own people,

1655
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 2: you know, not just white people, our own people willing

1656
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,600
Speaker 2: to we'll believed the worst. And we're like, yo, we

1657
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 2: have to get these people out of here. And this

1658
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 2: drug is much more addictive than anything else we have

1659
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 2: fucked with ever so so and it's causing like, you know,

1660
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,719
Speaker 2: all kinds of criminality and shit, and so it's like, Okay,

1661
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 2: we need to get this out of the neighborhood. We

1662
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 2: need to get this and the only place that's really

1663
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 2: being pumped is to us, you know. So then you

1664
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 2: end up with politicians being asked by black people to

1665
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 2: lock these people up that they don't like. People don't

1666
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 2: like this type of nuance, this type of detail of context,

1667
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 2: because it's much easier to say they passed the crime bill.

1668
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 2: It's much easier to say that, it's much easier to

1669
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 2: be he wrote the crime bill, you voted for the

1670
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 2: crime bill. But older black people remember, they remember asking

1671
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,640
Speaker 2: for them to do something. They remember thinking this was

1672
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 2: a good solution too. There wasn't a lot of detraction

1673
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 2: at the time. That's revisionist history that black people didn't

1674
01:26:56,439 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 2: want this, that's just a lie. I'm glad I'm enough

1675
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 2: to remember it, and I'm not even that fucking old,

1676
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 2: but I'm glad enough. I'm old enough to remember it

1677
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 2: so that it's sober for me where I can be like, yeah,

1678
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:12,520
Speaker 2: I don't regard this in the same level of contempt

1679
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 2: that people do. I feel like we asked for something

1680
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 2: and they gave it to us, and then we went

1681
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 2: that's not really what we wanted, which is totally fine,

1682
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:25,759
Speaker 2: which is totally fine. We're not wrong for that either.

1683
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 2: We thought we were getting one solution. Tada America. Racism

1684
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 2: is always up to fucking the sleeve of the magician

1685
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 2: on this joint, and it popped out. It popped out

1686
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 2: the hat on us, like, oh, racism, y'all guess what

1687
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 2: We're just thrown y'all in prison? And my.

1688
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 3: FU about that?

1689
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know, man, it was. It was

1690
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:50,639
Speaker 2: a weird time to live through. Its mass paranoia ours

1691
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 2: obviously all types of vilification, you know, also like I

1692
01:27:55,280 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 2: love the Central Park five or the exonerated five, series

1693
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 2: and stuff, But I really wish they could have even

1694
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 2: gone in the more than that, like how people were

1695
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 2: vilifying black youth with the crack egg of epidemic and

1696
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 2: drugs and shit and crime to like, so that America

1697
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:16,719
Speaker 2: was willing to believe that that these innocent people rape.

1698
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 2: These duo had not even had sex yet, weren't even

1699
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 2: like able to have sex at that age. Most of them,

1700
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 2: they believed that they could do that because that's the

1701
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 2: world that happened in. It happened in the crack world,

1702
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 2: it happened in the crime world. That happened in the

1703
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 2: Black People Are Savage's world. But anyway, all that stuff

1704
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 2: to say, I wouldn't be surprised that that's why black

1705
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 2: people support these politicians that like a Hillary Clinton and

1706
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 2: like a Joe Biden, because they just remember it. They're

1707
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,560
Speaker 2: they're not you can't take it and put it in

1708
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty characters, So it's not gonna sell

1709
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 2: well on Twitter, and there's no right answer they can give.

1710
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 2: But much like you know, the Iraq War and shit

1711
01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 2: like that, people supported it at the time because everybody

1712
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 2: was supporting it and there were reasons to support it

1713
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:08,280
Speaker 2: that weren't just I hate this person or I do that.

1714
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,480
Speaker 2: That's it turned out to be wrong, But the conventional

1715
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 2: wisdom of the time was wrong. Not like it's not

1716
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 2: a vacuum that they were in. All right, all right,

1717
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 2: we got some emails. I don't got a lot. Actually,

1718
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 2: all right, let me try to go through these. Adrian says,

1719
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 2: high ride and care your spoil More review of A

1720
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:28,799
Speaker 2: Quiet Place. You made your sport More review feed public

1721
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 2: several months ago. I've been listening and re listening from

1722
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 2: the short time I was a Premium list member. I'm

1723
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 2: still four months behind that uploads and about a year

1724
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 2: behind on movies. I was gonna wait until I got

1725
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 2: caught up to write you this fan letter. I'm absolutely

1726
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 2: adoring your reviews. Some movies I never got around the

1727
01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 2: seeing and I cued them up. Others I know to

1728
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 2: skip because of your reviews. The reason I'm writing before

1729
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 2: I get caught up is because of your review of

1730
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 2: A Quiet Place. Now, this is one that me and

1731
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,639
Speaker 2: Raygan gomans. This is one one of my favorite's.

1732
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 4: Brilliant.

1733
01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you first talked about Out in the trailer,

1734
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 2: you said you weren't going to see it. I was disappointed.

1735
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,840
Speaker 2: Because I really wanted to hear your review. Then it

1736
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:08,840
Speaker 2: came up in the feed and I was thrilled. Yeah, man,

1737
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 2: the reviews and early reviews I saw from it, and

1738
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, it just actually seems like it's good.

1739
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 2: Your review of Reagan go, Man, this was the absolute best.

1740
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 2: I think it's my favorite review so far. I thought

1741
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 2: it was great that you all pointed out none of

1742
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 2: the characters had names, but you called the dad Jim.

1743
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 2: The entire interview. Yeah, from the office. I love this movie.

1744
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 2: I almost wish I'd seen it in theaters, except I

1745
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 2: heard how often it was to be qua for the

1746
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 2: quad to be in a theater full of people. My

1747
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,800
Speaker 2: parents saw this a seventy something year old white couple

1748
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 2: and linked and liked it so much they gave both

1749
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 2: me and my sister or my sister and I, who

1750
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 2: are adults in our forties with families DVDs. I enjoyed

1751
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:48,559
Speaker 2: Reagan had some inside knowledge to share with the movie

1752
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 2: at the listening to your reviews so many months after

1753
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 2: I've seen The Quiet Place, I put it on when

1754
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:56,880
Speaker 2: I got home to rewatch the movie. The review particularly

1755
01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:00,679
Speaker 2: stuck stuck out to me. But you had so many reviews.

1756
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to listening to sixty four reviews. Haven't

1757
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 2: heard them yet at all the future reviews. Keep up

1758
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:06,559
Speaker 2: the wonderful work.

1759
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1760
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 2: You know we appreciated Adrian, and I'm glad you enjoyed.

1761
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 2: I love when people writing about to spind Off shows

1762
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 2: and stuff, because you know, it's a little different with

1763
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 2: those shows. We don't necessarily get five star reviews and

1764
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 2: stuff as much. Ms Marty Kan says, Sir and Madam,

1765
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:25,959
Speaker 2: I'm bringing on the blackout tests. I've had house guests

1766
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:27,640
Speaker 2: and I like to listen on my own or with

1767
01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 2: my sister, but everyone else they want to talk over

1768
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 2: the podcast or in this case, it was my friend's mother,

1769
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 2: and I'm simply not comfortable with my level of cursing

1770
01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 2: or anything like that with a seventy year old mother

1771
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 2: who never even says hell, I'm Southern. What can I say?

1772
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 2: But I did tell her about it, but she doesn't

1773
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 2: know how to listen to podcasts. So yeah, anyway, I'm

1774
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:48,679
Speaker 2: only writing to say I stand. I'm glad that Karen

01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 2: save for the feedback show. I heard you talking about

01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:20,840
Speaker 2: several comedy specials later, I mean Lately and you won,

1786
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 2: and was wondering if you checked out Joe Joe Coy's

1787
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:28,799
Speaker 2: two specials on Netflix. I have not. Both were absolutely hilarious.

1788
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 2: I remember him from Chelsea Lately, but didn't realize he'd

1789
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 2: been around so long. He also has a podcast, Take

1790
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:36,719
Speaker 2: Care as I always love and appreciate y'all. I will

1791
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 2: put him on the list. Put him on the list.

1792
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:48,040
Speaker 2: Marakia Akia says Japanese play place, Hey, Rody Karen. After

1793
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 2: listening to your episode Forgiveness, I noticed you kept saying

1794
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 2: that this wouldn't be in America. Yeah. We was talking

1795
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 2: about that Japanese playground where it was all dangerous and shit. Well,

1796
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,960
Speaker 2: people in Berkeley California hate their kids. I guess we

1797
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 2: call ours adventure playground. I remember going as a kid

1798
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:06,280
Speaker 2: with my school to learn how to build houses, install appliances,

1799
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 2: and how to swing a good old hammer. In order

1800
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:10,759
Speaker 2: to use tools, you had to pick up five rusty

1801
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,680
Speaker 2: nails on the ground. Again, they had kids, and there

1802
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 2: was also a zip line that was also made in house.

1803
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:20,599
Speaker 2: I left the link below. Keep up the good work

1804
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 2: proving the Wokes wrong and spreading the good word. Kio good,

1805
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 2: that's crazy? What wow?

1806
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:29,599
Speaker 5: Just the same place where everybody musas is coming back

1807
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 5: because don't nobody want vaccinate that fucking tip.

1808
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:40,200
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Wow, Francisca right saying hello, high riding Karen.

1809
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:42,280
Speaker 2: I just listened to your Forgiveness episode and the segment

1810
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 2: on the Japanese parks had me in tears. Two years ago,

1811
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 2: I was in Tokyo and I saw a guy clearing

1812
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:49,759
Speaker 2: in the stones of a wall with no hardness or anything.

1813
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:52,680
Speaker 2: All you had was a hard hat, which would have

1814
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 2: been worthless considering it was a thirty feet It was

1815
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 2: thirty feet from the ground. Yeah, what's the hard hat

1816
01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:59,400
Speaker 2: gonna do? At least my brain didn't splatter all over

1817
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: the place. It's just in this brain soup in this bowl.

1818
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,240
Speaker 2: When I heard your segment, I was like, the Japanese

1819
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:07,559
Speaker 2: must get trained in childhood to have no fear. Leay

1820
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 2: podcast Francisco. What is the insurance like over there? What

1821
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,719
Speaker 2: the fuck is that it's either great or non existent?

1822
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:18,520
Speaker 2: Because that's crazy non existent? No, No, Hello from Mississippi.

1823
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 2: This is from Doc Higher, Rod and Karen. I have

1824
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 2: tried leaving this on iTunes, but it's been three weeks

1825
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 2: and that five star review I dropped isn't showing up,

1826
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 2: so I'll keep leaving them till something goes through. I

1827
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 2: just wanted to let you know that y'all are the best.

1828
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 2: And I started falling Rod on Twitter I don't remember how,

1829
01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 2: and eventually found my way over to the podcast. Karen,

1830
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 2: I know you're gonna say, make sure it has no

1831
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 2: cussing in it. Yes, no cussing, and you can't say

1832
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 2: the word vagina. I don't know what other words they

1833
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,720
Speaker 2: got blocked on iTunes, but it's certain things. It's like,

1834
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 2: I feel like it's kind of hard to put why

1835
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 2: this podcast means a lot to me in a few words.

1836
01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna I'm sending this email to share a

1837
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 2: bit of my story. I spent the past two years

1838
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 2: in Utah completed my post doc. Before then, I was

1839
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 2: doing my schooling in Atlanta. I was prepared to be

1840
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 2: the only black person in the area. I pretty much was.

1841
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,320
Speaker 2: I was in the Dixie area of Utah, which is

1842
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 2: in the south part of Utah. Yeah you read that right, Dixie.

1843
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they want to let you know. Huh,

1844
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:18,840
Speaker 2: you know where you're at. I know that shit got

1845
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 2: settled by some motherfucking Confederates that lost and went out west.

1846
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 2: I know that's how that shipped. Yeah, we uh set

1847
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:32,479
Speaker 2: it we now and the new Dixie Utah Okay, we know.

1848
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:34,800
Speaker 3: Where then the Mason Dixie line. We don't give a damn.

1849
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:38,920
Speaker 2: They the early the early Mormon settlers named it that

1850
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 2: way because they took some Confederate role playing too far.

1851
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:45,519
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I was right, Drakars and many residents still

1852
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:47,720
Speaker 2: hold on to a Confederate heritage which was never there

1853
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 2: as dr.

1854
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 5: Cars yep, right, but that down south, that that y'all.

1855
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 2: Yep. I went to a church out there, one of

1856
01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 2: the few Mormon churches, and in the service to pass

1857
01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 2: the prey for the restoration of gym Crow, whoa your

1858
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 2: cars in the pew? I put my head back up

1859
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 2: and looked around and tried to make sure that I

1860
01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 2: heard that right. Everyone else is still diligently praying, and

1861
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:14,920
Speaker 2: I'm blocked in the pew so I can't get out.

1862
01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:17,599
Speaker 2: One service is over, I'm trying to get out of there,

1863
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 2: and a guy introduced himself to me. His name is

1864
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 2: Jim Crow, and he tells me that he thinks the

1865
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 2: prayer request was for him fifty out of one hundred.

1866
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, oh oh yeah, okay, who all right?

1867
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:33,680
Speaker 2: All right? Hold up now, hold up, hold up, hold up.

1868
01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 2: That's not as bad that that might be. Okay, that

1869
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,680
Speaker 2: actually might like his name being Jim crows up. Yeah,

1870
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,679
Speaker 2: But if they was like praying for his restoration because

1871
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 2: like this nigga was sick or something like, that's different. Yeah.

1872
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:51,600
Speaker 3: Still, it catches you off. God, I'll give it a

1873
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:52,160
Speaker 3: twenty five.

1874
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 2: If Jim Crow is on the sick and shut in list,

1875
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 2: I don't feel as nearly as triggered, But I do

1876
01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:59,639
Speaker 2: wish we had a warning, right, was it? At least

1877
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 2: in the what is the thing they hand out? The

1878
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 2: pamphlet they give you at the program was in the program,

1879
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 2: I tell him that I hope he feels better soon,

1880
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 2: since they're praying for his health in the middle of

1881
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 2: the service, and he tells me that he's not sick.

1882
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:15,639
Speaker 2: He doesn't know why they're praying for him. Your cars.

1883
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, it went back up back to races.

1884
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 3: It went back up to one hundred.

1885
01:37:22,439 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 2: And there were also people who walk in Federate flagshirts

1886
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 2: when I came, so I got out of there and

1887
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,840
Speaker 2: never came back. Yeah. Yeah, this is why I on

1888
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 2: the churches. However, my two years in Utah up the

1889
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 2: work was really good, but I need to get out

1890
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 2: of there. I just moved to Mississippi start a job

1891
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:40,000
Speaker 2: at university here. I get my first paycheck in September,

1892
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 2: so I'll put my bit on the plate soon. I

1893
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:46,600
Speaker 2: love being around other black people and feeling like I

1894
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:48,720
Speaker 2: live in community again. But I've gotten hooked on the

1895
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 2: podcast and I look forward to listening episodes wherever whenever

1896
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 2: I can. Out for the best of both of you.

1897
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 2: Always peace, Doc, thank you, Damn that Jim Crow, Damn,

1898
01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:02,960
Speaker 2: that story took a twist. I don't know what they

1899
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 2: got to do with our podcast, but I was triggered.

1900
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 2: It's been a while, Terry says, Hi, Rod and Care.

1901
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,720
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if y'all remember me, but I've been

1902
01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:14,639
Speaker 2: mean to write for a while. Still subscribe, tuning in

1903
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 2: throughout the week like I've done in the past. I'm

1904
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,800
Speaker 2: asking for a status up date. Years ago, Karen said,

1905
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 2: when we get enough revenue comes in from your business

1906
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 2: to cover both incomes, she'll twork on the desk and say,

1907
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 2: I quote, Nigga, I'm out how close to twurking action

1908
01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 2: are you? It warms my heart. It's warms my heart

1909
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:34,240
Speaker 2: to see both of you doing what you do together

1910
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 2: and for so long, Black Love. Here's to continued success.

1911
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 3: You've been around a long time, then, baby, ain't you?

1912
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1913
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 3: You know what.

1914
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,240
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any way to tell you how

1915
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 2: close it is without putting our personal business out there,

1916
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 2: But can can I just say, like, if Karen would

1917
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 2: not have gotten this job, we would have been straight.

1918
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:58,320
Speaker 2: We would have just had to cut back. So we're

1919
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 2: that close. Something happened with Karen's job and it was like,

1920
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:06,719
Speaker 2: well we just both do the podcast. Now we're close enough,

1921
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 2: Like we paid off debt diligently. Both our cars are

1922
01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 2: paid for. Both our student loans are paid off. Almost

1923
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:17,000
Speaker 2: all our credit cards are paid off except one big

1924
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:17,559
Speaker 2: credit card.

1925
01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:21,599
Speaker 3: That's being an adult, because I.

1926
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 2: Think the debt part of it, to me is more

1927
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 2: important than the income part of it, like what's coming

1928
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 2: out the house. But it keeps you trapped, right, So

1929
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 2: we could, we could technically do it now, but it

1930
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 2: would be we had to cut back, I know that

1931
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,640
Speaker 2: much like it wouldn't be the same, you know what

1932
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying, It be a lot more rob and noodles

1933
01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 2: for a while. But you know, we could do it.

1934
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 2: But so we're making progress on it for real, and

1935
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 2: we really I mean, you know, depending on how things

1936
01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 2: work out, man, it could be really soon. But I

1937
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:56,880
Speaker 2: also the other thing too, Man, this is a huge

1938
01:39:57,080 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 2: problem for us. Was I cannot I believe motherfuckers let

1939
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 2: Trump get in office, dog Like, I don't trust this

1940
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 2: nigga with my health care, you know, like Obamacare cool.

1941
01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:12,760
Speaker 2: When Obama's in office moving towards single pair with with

1942
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton coming in after him, I felt way more like, Okay, look,

1943
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:20,519
Speaker 2: whatever happens, we at least got our health care taking

1944
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 2: care of him. Man, this ship now it's like if

1945
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:25,880
Speaker 2: you don't have a job, dog your health care. You

1946
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 2: don't know what this administration gonna do, like they fucking

1947
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 2: furlough people anyway. So I think we could do it

1948
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 2: if we had to, But right now we're, uh, you know,

1949
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 2: we're close, but we're just stacking right now.

1950
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:44,920
Speaker 5: So being adults and sometimes be an adults sucks. But

1951
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 5: that's the part.

1952
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 2: Like I've seen that Cobra Bill. I'm like, I was like, oh, no,

Speaker 2: back far enough, I remember the first episode of the show,

1970
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:44,880
Speaker 2: we said we weren't gonna be talking about politics too much,

1971
01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 2: so we just yeah, we just changed and getting better

1972
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 2: at it. Can y'all believe it?

1973
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 3: The shows used to be thirty.

1974
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 2: Minutes yeah, and then and then the other part of

1975
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:57,920
Speaker 2: it is this coon is funny, mm hmm. At least

1976
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 2: the way I grew up, I didn't realize all these

1977
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:04,600
Speaker 2: people was like, you can't say that until Twitter and

1978
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 2: the Internet happened. I don't give a fuck. I didn't

1979
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 2: grow up with you. I don't know how I use it.

1980
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:14,719
Speaker 2: And everybody that say you can't say it normally a coon,

1981
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not saying one hundred percent radio, but

1982
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of people that's like super offended by

1983
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 2: that shit normally up the coon shit. And the ones

1984
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 2: that pretended that say they offended by it, but then

1985
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 2: like they not a coon. Almost every single time I

1986
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:34,840
Speaker 2: catch them laughing at my coon jokes because they'd be like,

1987
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 2: that's true. It's the truth, the favorite it, it's the truth.

1988
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:43,639
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just one of them black people. Though,

1989
01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 2: like I'm there's black people that are like, don't call

1990
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:48,000
Speaker 2: me the N word. I don't say the N word.

1991
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 2: They hang out with me for like a week and

1992
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 2: then it's like, nigga, did you see what so and

1993
01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:55,240
Speaker 2: so did? I'm like, exactly, because it's out of love

1994
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 2: is different. It's different, and you know it if you

1995
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 2: really black, deep down inside, you know the fucking difference. Now,

1996
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:04,479
Speaker 2: I can't help if you was, you know, raised around

1997
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 2: a whole lot of white people, or you socially was

1998
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 2: socialized out of that type of environment. But you know,

1999
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:14,680
Speaker 2: but for niggas, that for people that grew up like

2000
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,760
Speaker 2: what that love behind it is not the taboo word

2001
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 2: that people think it is. You know. So anyway, some

2002
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 2: niggas comes, That's what happened. I'm not sure if you

2003
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 2: still look at guests the take, look at Guess the Race.

2004
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:34,880
Speaker 2: So I saw this article and thought about the show. Oh, Florida, Yeah,

2005
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:39,559
Speaker 2: I saved that. So thanks Terry, appreciate Terry and Florida.

2006
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:42,519
Speaker 2: Let's see got two more Brooklyn Shoe Bass as dere

2007
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:45,519
Speaker 2: Royn and Karen, I really appreciate your conversation that you

2008
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 2: had about reading. As a youth services librarian, I can

2009
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 2: tell you how hard it is and intimidating to become

2010
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:53,679
Speaker 2: a reader. In quotes, as soon as children start pre kindergarten,

2011
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:56,679
Speaker 2: they are pressured to be good readers or else they're

2012
01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:59,600
Speaker 2: going to fail at life. Right, parents will come in

2013
01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:01,760
Speaker 2: with new ones, and that's just how to teach their

2014
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 2: child to read. They feel like they feel like bad

2015
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:07,280
Speaker 2: parents if they're not reading to their child fresh out

2016
01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:11,320
Speaker 2: the wound. Parents and adults also shit on what constitutes

2017
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:13,439
Speaker 2: a real book. If the books are not from the

2018
01:44:13,439 --> 01:44:18,880
Speaker 2: classics English literature of cannon, everything else is trash.

2019
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 5: Right, So they don't do comic books and and shit

2020
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:23,640
Speaker 5: like that in picture books because they don't. But the

2021
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 5: thing is reading is reading, and for a lot of children,

2022
01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:29,880
Speaker 5: pictures and words actually get children into reading, and they

2023
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:32,320
Speaker 5: will branch off into other shits. But a lot of

2024
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:34,599
Speaker 5: parents turn their fucking noses up to that and just

2025
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:37,759
Speaker 5: assume that that's not quote unquote reading, but it is reading.

2026
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:41,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, uh, this is probably controversial to say, but

2027
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:43,439
Speaker 2: we on the Black Show. That's ours, so we can

2028
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 2: say it. I don't even really understand why certain white

2029
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 2: shit gets to be the only classics for people come on,

2030
01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:53,720
Speaker 2: not like and I don't think we can separate it

2031
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 2: from the fact that that's how it was introduced to us.

2032
01:44:56,040 --> 01:44:58,960
Speaker 2: So we're all indoctrinated in that shit. And it doesn't

2033
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,840
Speaker 2: mean it's all terrible or whatever the fuck, but like

2034
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:06,400
Speaker 2: white people decided like Shakespeare could be the Tyler Perry

2035
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:09,559
Speaker 2: and white people and then they told us that it's not.

2036
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 2: So then we got to accept that. You see what

2037
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like, you know, uh and I and you know,

2038
01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 2: I get like, are people that study art and shit

2039
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 2: don't write in because it ain't even that serious? But

2040
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 2: I remember I said this about like classic paintings once

2041
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:26,920
Speaker 2: and people will start writing in are you majored in

2042
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 2: art and not? And you know, the point being like, yeah,

2043
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 2: and it was taught to you by people that told

2044
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:35,559
Speaker 2: you this is what was good. So how the fuck

2045
01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 2: can you know? You just you you got an A

2046
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 2: because you were told this is what was good and

2047
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,680
Speaker 2: you said, Okay, that's what's good. You didn't get an

2048
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:47,040
Speaker 2: AID because you came up with some new shit, you

2049
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 2: know what I mean? So who you to tell me,

2050
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:52,840
Speaker 2: what the fuck is good? Like it's art? So uh no,

2051
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:55,760
Speaker 2: you know, no offense to to to art people. I'm

2052
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:59,640
Speaker 2: sure they think it's like a mathematical equation, but you know,

2053
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,639
Speaker 2: some shit you can tell the practice and the effort

2054
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:04,519
Speaker 2: and stuff like that and that's why you know it's

2055
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 2: good or whatever. But only white people the only people

2056
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 2: an't supposed to believe that about right. You know, like

2057
01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 2: when I was growing up and the textbooks and the

2058
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:15,439
Speaker 2: shit we would get on art, it was all white

2059
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 2: people shit. You know, the only thing we saw from

2060
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 2: black people is like the Egyptians or some shit, like

2061
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 2: you didn't see just black art period.

2062
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 5: Like you didn't have a whole Harlem Renaissance and all

2063
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:29,600
Speaker 5: to all across the country, black people just doing magnificent

2064
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 5: art that might ever learned.

2065
01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:34,120
Speaker 2: About what's in all fairness. That would be the time

2066
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:36,880
Speaker 2: they the Harlem renosce when black people could do what's

2067
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 2: doing great art. It's like, but what about.

2068
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:42,479
Speaker 3: Since then that we didn't stop doing shit.

2069
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:46,479
Speaker 2: Y'all not teaching our classics and these shit. So yeah,

2070
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 2: I yeah. So anyway, all that to say, like, yeah,

2071
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:52,040
Speaker 2: it is weird that they're like, yeah, if you play

2072
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:55,559
Speaker 2: Beethoven for your child in the boomb They will be smarter.

2073
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:59,799
Speaker 2: It's like yes, it's like, yeah, you played the right sequence.

2074
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:01,800
Speaker 2: Of white people, they will be smart in the ways

2075
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:06,479
Speaker 2: that we measure smartness as white people. So it encourages me,

2076
01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 2: but it it rages me because that type of thinking

2077
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 2: and brainwashing is detrimental to raising the reader and leads

2078
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:16,360
Speaker 2: to anti intellectualism. Finally, although it's a part of our job,

2079
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 2: people are sometimes afraid to ask librarians for recommendations or

2080
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:21,320
Speaker 2: to find a book for them because they feel like

2081
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:23,680
Speaker 2: we are judging them, like we are sitting there on

2082
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:28,200
Speaker 2: the mount Olympus of literature. We're really not. Yeah, yeah,

2083
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 2: I'm one of those people. I'm guilty of being. I

2084
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:34,760
Speaker 2: should know where everything is in the library. It's such

2085
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:37,680
Speaker 2: a stupid mentality, and I definitely have fought that and

2086
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:38,760
Speaker 2: gotten out of it.

2087
01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 5: Nigga, No, I don't know the Dowey decimal system. Can

2088
01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 5: you help me, ma'am?

2089
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:45,639
Speaker 2: Well, Karen will ask if Karen will ask for anything,

2090
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 2: so she, I mean, she'll ask around the house where

2091
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 2: it's not my job. She just don't like that's. Actually,

2092
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:54,479
Speaker 2: one of the things I love about you is that

2093
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 2: you're not afraid to be like, I don't know this shit,

2094
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,800
Speaker 2: and you know, it's definite. A hang up that a

2095
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:04,679
Speaker 2: lot of people have is they're so afraid of being

2096
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 2: the one that didn't know. I have to know everything.

2097
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 2: I have to always be right and even when I

2098
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:11,800
Speaker 2: don't know that I knew that. You know that kind

2099
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:14,400
Speaker 2: of attitude, and you're like the opposite of that, You're like,

2100
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 2: I don't know this shit, so I need some help

2101
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 2: and that boom, and you know that's good. That's a

2102
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:23,160
Speaker 2: good mentality, and not to get off topic.

2103
01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:26,280
Speaker 5: The reason why I'm like that is because when you

2104
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:29,799
Speaker 5: pretend the expectation is that you know, and then something's

2105
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:32,400
Speaker 5: going to happen where somebody's gonna expect you to know

2106
01:48:32,479 --> 01:48:34,439
Speaker 5: the shit because you pretended like you knew the shit,

2107
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 5: and then they're gonna realize you don't know the shit,

2108
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:38,960
Speaker 5: and then it's a problem, and then they're gonna say, well,

2109
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:41,559
Speaker 5: why when this came up, Yeah, why didn't you tell

2110
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 5: me you didn't know?

2111
01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:43,600
Speaker 2: We could have explained it to you.

2112
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2113
01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:47,160
Speaker 2: And I've been in situations my whole life, especially in

2114
01:48:47,240 --> 01:48:50,840
Speaker 2: classrooms when the advanced classes you just supposed to know

2115
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:55,800
Speaker 2: and so I'm luckily been apt enough to be able

2116
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:57,559
Speaker 2: to like fake it to all make it with most

2117
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,080
Speaker 2: of the things you know happens all the time from me,

2118
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:02,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know this shit, but I'm getting

2119
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:04,599
Speaker 2: the gist of it. And before you can figure out

2120
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:06,720
Speaker 2: I don't know it, guess what, bitch, I know it.

2121
01:49:06,760 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 2: Now you know. But that's definitely not as honest and

2122
01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:13,880
Speaker 2: not as fruitful as if I walked in and said

2123
01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:16,639
Speaker 2: I don't know. And it's all because in my mind,

2124
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:19,040
Speaker 2: I'm worried about that judgment, and that's something I really

2125
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 2: so what you you judging me because I don't know

2126
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:24,360
Speaker 2: something should not really make me. That's really more of

2127
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 2: a reflection on you than it is on me.

2128
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 5: Right, And and then something else and something else that

2129
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:31,240
Speaker 5: made it easier for me to be kind of open

2130
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 5: about my not knowing it was cracked.

2131
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:35,720
Speaker 2: Oa. Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead, I'm was that what

2132
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 2: you're gonna say.

2133
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 5: No, not this time, not to crack. The crack is

2134
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:40,880
Speaker 5: for another day.

2135
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:43,280
Speaker 2: The biggest reason why is.

2136
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 5: Because nobody's born knowing everything. And once you understand that

2137
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 5: nobody's born knowing anything, the shit and the noveledge that

2138
01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:52,680
Speaker 5: you know Now, you didn't learn that instantly, and you

2139
01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 5: didn't learn that shit over night. You learned it by

2140
01:49:55,439 --> 01:50:01,080
Speaker 5: decades of years of regurgitation and memorization. Oh you know that,

2141
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 5: And maybe that's you know, maybe that's one of.

2142
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:03,719
Speaker 3: My pitt peeves.

2143
01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:06,680
Speaker 5: I hate when people go but you're just supposed to know? Now,

2144
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:08,639
Speaker 5: that will send me saying, bitch, how am I post

2145
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:10,920
Speaker 5: to know when I don't know? How am I supposed

2146
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 5: to know when I don't know? This is not being

2147
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 5: very helpful to somebody that don't know the rules? Like

2148
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:18,280
Speaker 5: like that kind of sets me off when people do that.

2149
01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:19,839
Speaker 2: You're supposed to know bullshit.

2150
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 5: I have no foundation to know, so how can I know?

2151
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:25,439
Speaker 5: You're setting me up in the bad spot, in my opinion,

2152
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:27,480
Speaker 5: to fail out of my lack of knowledge.

2153
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 2: Some of us don't like to read. Some of us

2154
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:34,080
Speaker 2: just like romance and mystery novels. We're just regular people

2155
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,799
Speaker 2: with a professional skill set reading and important. But adults

2156
01:50:36,880 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 2: really need to relax. Read what you want, Karen, don't

2157
01:50:39,479 --> 01:50:41,760
Speaker 2: beat yourself up about not having read Tony Morrison. It

2158
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:44,360
Speaker 2: doesn't make you less black. I've got an advanced degree

2159
01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:46,559
Speaker 2: and I've only read Beloved because of the movie. You

2160
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:48,880
Speaker 2: can appreciate what Tony brought to our culture without having

2161
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:52,920
Speaker 2: read her entire collection silly booklet sho babe, thank you. Yeah.

2162
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:54,640
Speaker 2: I did go out and buy Jazz though for my

2163
01:50:54,720 --> 01:51:00,080
Speaker 2: kindle to queue up on there for after Ida b. Wells. So,

2164
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 2: but yeah, you know, I also haven't read I think

2165
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:09,559
Speaker 2: I've read The Love It or The Bluest Eye like

2166
01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:11,760
Speaker 2: I might have, because that's the other thing. I don't

2167
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:14,280
Speaker 2: even retain books like that. So if I read some

2168
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,880
Speaker 2: shit in like fourth grade, I don't remember all that shit.

2169
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:19,640
Speaker 2: I only remember like Native Son because I read it

2170
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 2: more than once and then they made movies about it.

2171
01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 2: Like I just I don't remember stuff like that. That well, no,

2172
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:28,720
Speaker 2: no offense to fiction. That's why I read a lot

2173
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:32,479
Speaker 2: of nonfiction, because I remember nonfiction more than I do fiction,

2174
01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:38,080
Speaker 2: because it's like none of this happened. Shart I says, hey,

2175
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 2: so I need to send emails steadily, voicemails. My mind

2176
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:43,000
Speaker 2: went completely blank anyway. The topic is brought up on

2177
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:45,120
Speaker 2: the jail episode. Maye me think about mc granny. The

2178
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 2: few of American and politics are completely different than ours. Honestly,

2179
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:50,880
Speaker 2: we need to listen. She has balanced living in racist

2180
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 2: America through segregation and everything, all while still patriotic. I'm

2181
01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:59,599
Speaker 2: talking to her understand to understand how she reached this point.

2182
01:51:59,840 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 2: I get instantly pissed when I hear younger people dismissed

2183
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 2: or talk about the older generation. She has done so

2184
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:08,200
Speaker 2: much that actually helped the progression of black people, like

2185
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:10,719
Speaker 2: being one of the first black teachers at her school

2186
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:14,439
Speaker 2: during desegregation in Louisiana. She worked the polls when she

2187
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 2: made it what she can and is expected that we

2188
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:21,360
Speaker 2: should go vote, go vote. That's another thing. I a

2189
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:30,919
Speaker 2: so think about how to say this. I have noticed

2190
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 2: a lot of No, that's not a good way to

2191
01:52:36,160 --> 01:52:37,519
Speaker 2: put it. They gonna get us. I don't want to

2192
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to offend, but I question the connection

2193
01:52:43,560 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 2: to the roots of your people when you say shit

2194
01:52:50,200 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 2: like don't guilt mean to vote. I'll put it that way.

2195
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:59,320
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people edges, you know, roots

2196
01:52:59,360 --> 01:53:02,559
Speaker 2: is showing to be you know, like they not as

2197
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:08,200
Speaker 2: down quote unquote as they proclaim to be. Because in

2198
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 2: my crib that was not an option. Yeah, I knew

2199
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:15,680
Speaker 2: I was grown when my mom stopped calling me on

2200
01:53:15,800 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 2: election day to be like, you did you vote? You

2201
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:21,880
Speaker 2: better go vote. Did you vote? That's when I knew, like, Okay,

2202
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:24,920
Speaker 2: I'm grown they and it's not I'm grown they that

2203
01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:28,080
Speaker 2: I can do what I want. It's we expect and

2204
01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:29,679
Speaker 2: know your ass went to vote.

2205
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:31,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, we ain't even gonna call.

2206
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:32,040
Speaker 2: We know you voted.

2207
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:34,479
Speaker 3: You know it was like you get a phone call, nigga,

2208
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 3: you vote. The polls are open from six am to

2209
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:37,719
Speaker 3: seven pm.

2210
01:53:37,760 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 5: If I call your ass again and you ain't, you

2211
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:42,760
Speaker 5: ain't donne vote at the polls, it's a problem.

2212
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:46,680
Speaker 2: So I can't speak to how everyone was raised, but

2213
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 2: it says something I've seen some people where you know,

2214
01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:53,599
Speaker 2: you slip the shown a little bit, like this isn't

2215
01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:56,920
Speaker 2: a tradition for you. And maybe it's because I'm from

2216
01:53:56,920 --> 01:54:00,320
Speaker 2: the South. Maybe it's because my my folks is all

2217
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:04,760
Speaker 2: from like America, like nobody's from overseas, and then I'm

2218
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:07,400
Speaker 2: the first generation. Like maybe it could be a bunch

2219
01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:13,200
Speaker 2: of other shit, but with the roots I have, I

2220
01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:17,400
Speaker 2: would feel terrible if I knew I could vote and

2221
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:19,519
Speaker 2: stay my ass at home, I would feel to it.

2222
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:22,519
Speaker 2: I would feel like I let my ancestors down and

2223
01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:25,400
Speaker 2: let my family down. I don't know how I just

2224
01:54:25,439 --> 01:54:29,720
Speaker 2: don't speak that. I'm so independent, I don't unconnected to

2225
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:31,880
Speaker 2: other blackness that I don't care. I don't speak that,

2226
01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:35,120
Speaker 2: so you know, and I think when the people I

2227
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:38,360
Speaker 2: saw advocating that the most, I'm like, Yeah, y'all got

2228
01:54:38,360 --> 01:54:42,360
Speaker 2: the light lightest roots. Y'all have the lightest connection to

2229
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 2: this shit. So it's all a game to you, but

2230
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 2: for me, it's not a game anyway. We need to

2231
01:54:48,160 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 2: make sure we listen to older generations more because they're

2232
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 2: so wise and they have lived through so much. They

2233
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 2: have done the best they can for the most part,

2234
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 2: and obviously we aren't going to get everything right hindsight.

2235
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:00,120
Speaker 2: He's twenty twenty. I want to let you know I

2236
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:03,480
Speaker 2: started watching Flash because of y'all, and since then it's

2237
01:55:03,480 --> 01:55:06,120
Speaker 2: sent me down spa watching Supergirl, Black Lightning, which is

2238
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:08,440
Speaker 2: so good, and Age is the Shield, which is my

2239
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 2: top five favorite show ever. Yes, excellent. I love y'all shows,

2240
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:15,880
Speaker 2: and I listened to all the premium content. Yes you

2241
01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 2: read it right. I don't even pay attention to sports,

2242
01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:20,520
Speaker 2: but I love boss D lol. And my favorite is

2243
01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 2: my favorite is a nerd off by my podcast and friends.

2244
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:27,120
Speaker 2: Sorry about the weird voicemail. I'm sarta not it's fine

2245
01:55:27,240 --> 01:55:30,160
Speaker 2: or this is art. Either way, it's fine, don't worry

2246
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:33,240
Speaker 2: about that. And we appreciate the voicemail and the email

2247
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:37,880
Speaker 2: and yeah, man, And that's the other thing too. That's

2248
01:55:37,880 --> 01:55:39,680
Speaker 2: one of the reason I love reading about history like this.

2249
01:55:39,800 --> 01:55:42,440
Speaker 2: Out of Bol's book, man, they talk about how black

2250
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:46,080
Speaker 2: people felt about voting then when Democrats were Republicans, Republicans

2251
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:49,360
Speaker 2: or Democrats, like, none of this shit is new, but

2252
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:52,280
Speaker 2: you can be educated through so much of this shit

2253
01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 2: about just the context of what we're going through and how.

2254
01:55:56,480 --> 01:55:59,080
Speaker 2: And for me, it's affirming to know it's not new.

2255
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:02,320
Speaker 2: We have always struggle with this shit, you know. So.

2256
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:06,800
Speaker 2: But at the same time, a lot of the l's

2257
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:10,200
Speaker 2: for our people in history have come when we decided

2258
01:56:10,640 --> 01:56:13,880
Speaker 2: we were so frustrated we were not gonna vote, you know,

2259
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:15,880
Speaker 2: a lot of because it's not like it got better.

2260
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:18,440
Speaker 2: It's not like the other side takes that as a

2261
01:56:18,440 --> 01:56:23,400
Speaker 2: sign of, oh, let's start supporting black rights. No, Rebecca says.

2262
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:27,720
Speaker 2: Last one forgiveness. Good morning, Rod and Karen filling the

2263
01:56:27,720 --> 01:56:31,080
Speaker 2: topic this morning. I think it's important to remember to

2264
01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 2: forgive yourself for mistakes you've made. A while back, I

2265
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:36,880
Speaker 2: was caught breaking the law while I was in school.

2266
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:39,200
Speaker 2: I got kicked out of school a little month along

2267
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:41,760
Speaker 2: with legal issues, I was a disaster at the time.

2268
01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:44,160
Speaker 2: I wasn't able to seek help from my family. I

2269
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:47,440
Speaker 2: had to bear consequences of my own on my own.

2270
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:49,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely broke me. I was working shit jobs, I was

2271
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 2: depressed and self sabotagic opportunities that came my way. It

2272
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:54,560
Speaker 2: took about four years to get out of that hole

2273
01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:57,040
Speaker 2: that I made for myself. I wasn't until I forgave

2274
01:56:57,120 --> 01:56:59,640
Speaker 2: myself for making the mistake, the mistake that I was

2275
01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:02,480
Speaker 2: able to own that I handled the consequence all on

2276
01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:05,720
Speaker 2: my own. It was amazing to have that weightlifted from

2277
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:08,480
Speaker 2: my shoulders. After the things turned around, I got a

2278
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,440
Speaker 2: great job, turned career, and I was able to finish

2279
01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:14,440
Speaker 2: out my degree. Carrying the weight of your own mistakes

2280
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:17,080
Speaker 2: can bring you down just as much as a grudge

2281
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:20,520
Speaker 2: on another. I remind everyone in the fam to remember

2282
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 2: that it's okay to forgive yourself. If you made missteps

2283
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:25,040
Speaker 2: on the path, you can always find your way back.

2284
01:57:25,240 --> 01:57:28,280
Speaker 2: Appreciate all you do. I needed some introspection on this

2285
01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 2: topic served purpose. All the love BEACKA yeah, I feel

2286
01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:37,600
Speaker 2: you on that. I definitely that was the other part

2287
01:57:37,640 --> 01:57:39,880
Speaker 2: of it. That because we were talking about forgiveness from

2288
01:57:39,920 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 2: the other perspective. But the other side of it is

2289
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:45,000
Speaker 2: when you fuck up. When I say forgiveness is a

2290
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:49,720
Speaker 2: selfish act. You can't really always wait on the person

2291
01:57:50,320 --> 01:57:55,280
Speaker 2: that you fucked up towards to forgive you. And the

2292
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:58,400
Speaker 2: other thing because people think that this is how it works,

2293
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:02,760
Speaker 2: but it's not. They he actually can't grant you the forgiveness,

2294
01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:05,880
Speaker 2: even if they accept your apology, even if they say

2295
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:10,080
Speaker 2: I forgive you, they actually can't if you truly mean it.

2296
01:58:10,240 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 2: You are hurt by what you did yourself as well.

2297
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:18,040
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, and you have to understand it.

2298
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:22,000
Speaker 2: Yes I did something bad, Yes I'm capable of this,

2299
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:24,960
Speaker 2: but this is this does not have to define me.

2300
01:58:25,080 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 2: You're not your best day and you're not your worst day.

2301
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:31,560
Speaker 2: You're somewhere in the middle, and you have to find

2302
01:58:31,560 --> 01:58:34,680
Speaker 2: your way back to that. Because because I'm one of

2303
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 2: these people too, when I fuck up, I get stuck there.

2304
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:39,240
Speaker 2: I'm just like I fucked up, I fucked up, I

2305
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 2: fuck I go through conversations a million times. I look

2306
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:44,920
Speaker 2: at every angle of how fucked up. There's times where

2307
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:47,320
Speaker 2: I didn't fuck up, and I do that, well, I'm

2308
01:58:47,400 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 2: questioning everything, like well that they got upset and then

2309
01:58:49,800 --> 01:58:52,760
Speaker 2: what did I do? You know, so I totally can

2310
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:54,960
Speaker 2: relate to that, and yet you do have to do

2311
01:58:55,040 --> 01:58:58,280
Speaker 2: it to move on. It's not always for So that's

2312
01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 2: what's a gabby. Oh that's hilarious. Uh nah, she's I

2313
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:07,680
Speaker 2: don't I don't think it was. I mean, at least

2314
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:10,520
Speaker 2: I don't think it was either. Yeah, so I don't

2315
01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:13,000
Speaker 2: think she fuck with us no more, y'all. Uh so,

2316
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:18,800
Speaker 2: uh uh, anyway, it was, Uh it was, But yeah,

2317
01:59:18,840 --> 01:59:20,760
Speaker 2: it was one of those things where it's not really

2318
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:26,600
Speaker 2: it's not really something that someone can grant you. You kind

2319
01:59:26,600 --> 01:59:28,720
Speaker 2: of have to do it for yourself. And that doesn't

2320
01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:31,760
Speaker 2: mean that, you know, in a social path way where

2321
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:34,400
Speaker 2: I forgive myself. I just kicked the nigg in the face.

2322
01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:37,880
Speaker 2: Ah forgiven? Like nah, I mean, if you mean it

2323
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:40,919
Speaker 2: and it's fucking you up, sometimes that is the only recourse,

2324
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:43,480
Speaker 2: especially if that person has had to draw boundaries and

2325
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:46,680
Speaker 2: close the door for themselves. Then yet you're gonna have

2326
01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 2: to forgive yourself and players you do better in the

2327
01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:55,120
Speaker 2: next situation. I think that's healthy. All right, guys, thank
