That's a good one. 33 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: That's an epic four hours long. I no longer partake 34 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: in that because I'm an adult, but as a child man, 35 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: it was long.

A hundred thousand dollars 76 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: is a pretty lofty goal in our relatively short period 77 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: of time, but we set that goal because we truly 78 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: believe that there are enough people who believe in the 79 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 1: project and who want to support this work to reach 80 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: the goal. So yeah, that being said, we're gonna hop 81 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: into the garden of today's episode. We're going to start 82 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,119 Speaker 1: with a little segment on world updates. We can't necessarily, 83 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: uh go in depth into every global happening in the 84 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: span of a forty five minute, but what we're going 85 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: to try and do is acknowledge the events that have 86 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: been happening, especially here in l A, around the world, 87 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: and the stuff that our listeners have d m us 88 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: and reached out to us to ask us about, right 89 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: because it affects us and our audience. So we want 90 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: to start with something that I think is very much 91 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: ongoing and part of a much larger issue. But this 92 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: is about what's been happening at Echo Park Lake and 93 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: Echo Park Rising essentially, So the ALSA do you want 94 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 1: to like kind of give us a recap of what's 95 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: been happening in Silver Lake? Yeah, absolutely so. If you're 96 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: from l A, if you've visited l A, you know 97 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: that we are in a housing crisis. There have been 98 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: a lot of efforts to declare it as a state 99 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: of emergency, because that is it's really what's happening. Compounded 100 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: by a pandemic. Things have gotten really bad. So if 101 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 1: you've driven by Echo Park Lake, you may have seen 102 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: that there were a lot of tents, um there were 103 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: a lot of homeless folks taking refuge at Echo Park Lake, 104 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: and there's been For me, I think it's been really 105 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: hard to keep up with the story because I've seen 106 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: a lot of conflicting information, and so we just want 107 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: to encourage folks to do their own research and we 108 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: can link some some different news articles in our newsletters 109 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: so that y'all can be informed as to what's going on. 110 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: But essentially, UM, the council member of that district, Mitchell Ferrell, 111 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: decided that they were going to do a sweep and 112 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: so what that means is literally a sweep, and so 113 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: you would have to leave all the houseless folks that 114 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: were there, would have to take their belongings and essentially 115 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: find a new place. However, also want to recognize that 116 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: efforts were made with Urban Alchemy to UM get folks 117 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: housed and to get them into temporary housing which would 118 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: hopefully lead to permanent supportive housing. UM and I say 119 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: that there's been a lot of conflicting information because we 120 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: saw this number. I want to say about a hundred 121 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: and sixty five people were connected to Project Room Key. 122 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: Yes to Project Room Key. Simultaneously, I've seen folks say, 123 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: actually we were promised room but turns out there weren't 124 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: any rooms, right, And so I think that it's a 125 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: evolving story, and um, I want to shout or I 126 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: want to recognize the folks on the ground that have 127 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: been providing services, you know, and recognize that there have 128 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: been people trying to provide services. Two houses folks four months, right, 129 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: And we hope to have a guest in the future 130 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: to talk more about that. So, Mala, do you want 131 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: to add anything. Yeah, it's tragic, is like, it's beyond 132 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: tragic what's been happening in l A. L A isn't 133 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: the only place that has been hit hard by displacement 134 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: and evictions. And I think one of the issues here 135 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: is that we've gotten really no rent relief in the 136 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: city over the course of the pandemic. There's been no 137 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: rent relief. The alleged eviction moratorium where like when because 138 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: I think that there have been ongoing evictions, you know, 139 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: as soon as landlords were able to evict people, I 140 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: think they started doing it. And I'm sure that there 141 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: have been families and some people who have gotten like 142 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: some reprieve or who have gotten a little bit of help, 143 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: but it's been nowhere near enough and so what I've 144 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: definitely noticed, and if you're from l A or live 145 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: in l A or have passed through, you've probably seen that. 146 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: It's just exploded the amount of houselessness. And the first 147 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: time I drove by Echo Park Lake, I hadn't been 148 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: in Silver Lake for months because I was staying home 149 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: and kind of just staying on my side of town 150 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: per the quarantine. And the first time that I really 151 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: drove by during the pandemic, I was in complete shock 152 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: and blown away, not necessarily surprised, but really really overwhelmed 153 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: by how many tents and such um little buildings people basically, 154 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, are creating for themselves shelters that people are 155 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: building for themselves at Eco Park Lake, and not just there, 156 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: but in Culver City, all over downtown in El Serino 157 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: on Huntington's Drive, I've never seen homeless people there, you 158 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it's like, what I want 159 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: to make clear is these are our neighbors, Like these 160 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: are formerly housed people who have been forced out of 161 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: their housing and forced onto the streets or into parks 162 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: and such. And in the city of Los Angeles and 163 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: in the county, I don't think we've ever really had 164 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: an appropriate or permanent response to houselessness. I think that 165 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: what ends up happening. And we oh, my god, we've 166 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: seen sweep so many times when they bring in big 167 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: dump trucks and they literally take away everyone's stuff and 168 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: throw away everyone's stuff. And when you do that to 169 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: a houseless person, you're probably throwing away their medication and 170 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: their important documents and the things that they have, you know, 171 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: gathered together to survive. And if you've I've I don't 172 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: know if anybody out there has ever met a houseless 173 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: person after a sweep, But when I was working at 174 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: p O V, I remember they're on Boudre. There's always 175 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: been encampments, and one day they did a sweep and 176 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: a lot of houseless people have appointments during the day 177 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: and jobs, and I remember there was a houseless woman 178 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: who walked by and one of my co workers spoke 179 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: to her and and I also spoke to her in 180 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: front of the building, and she was like, I went 181 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: this woman, this poor woman told us that she had 182 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: gone fro an appointment and when she went back to 183 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: her tenant was just gone. All of her stuff was gone. 184 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: So you know, she's like alone in the city. With 185 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: like nothing except what's on her person, and it's not 186 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: an answer, you know, it's not a solution. It throws 187 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: people into further um disarray. And I think that one 188 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: of the other unfortunate things is like I think that 189 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: sometimes service providers like provide options that are kind of 190 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: like not really options because for example, like if you're 191 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: houseless and you don't have a car and transportation, like 192 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: you can't just get all over the county and the 193 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: city like on a whim. It takes a lot for 194 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: somebody to get from one part of the city to 195 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: to the other. So I think one of the issues 196 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: with Project room Key is like Echo Park Lake is 197 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: in Silver Lake, and I think that the hotel that 198 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: they were offering rooms at was like in Downey or something, 199 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: which is just not feasible. It's not appropriate for the solution. 200 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: And like I think if we think about like what's 201 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: been kind of going on in Elserino and South Pass 202 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: and like those cal Trans houses, and there have been 203 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: movements recently over the course of the pandemic to try 204 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: and reclaim those empty houses like house those people are 205 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: making very clear like we live here, we would like 206 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: to live here in this empty open space. But I 207 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: think that service providers are sometimes too controlling with like, 208 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: well know, if you're going to get help, it has 209 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: to be our kind of help, like in our location 210 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: and where we decide you're going to be. But it's 211 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: just or you can't bring your pets, you know, you 212 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: can't bring all your bags and your suitcases and your stuff. 213 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: You know, you have to come all the way out here. 214 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think that like the city 215 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: in the county have a lot of work to do, 216 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: and I think that like we have to be more compassionate, 217 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: especially when we think about how our neighborhoods do not 218 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: benefit at all from these like really stringent like policies 219 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: and policing and like gutting social services and gutting housing, 220 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: like none of us benefit from that. And I think 221 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: that the proof is in the pudding here. What I 222 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: also want to add, like part of it is also 223 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: being like pro solutions, so like, for example, folks that 224 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: are homeowners right, because a lot of the pushback comes 225 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: from homeowners when there is any type of um for 226 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: example a bridge home right as like a county initiative right, 227 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of pushback from homeowners in their 228 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: respective communities or cities where they say, well, we don't 229 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: want supportive housing here, we don't want permanent supportive housing here, 230 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: But then they then they also don't want encampments, and 231 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: so you can't have both. You can't have you can't 232 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: not want encampments but then also not want permanent supportive housing, right, 233 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: And so part of it is being like pro solutions, right. 234 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: And so I think folks that like want to get involved, 235 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: like getting involved locally and like letting your city council 236 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: people know like you want permanent supportive housing, right, because 237 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: like Mala mentioned, these are literally our community members are neighbors, right, 238 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: And so having leading with compassion I think is going 239 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: to be key and also getting involved because those folks 240 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: that don't want permanent supportive housing and they don't want solutions, 241 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: you best believe that they are at those city council 242 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: meetings sharing their public comments. They're all over Facebook, Like 243 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: I see them in the comments as well, like saying 244 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: like we don't want this here. It's just humanizing too 245 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: houseless folks. So that's one way to get involved, you know, 246 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: like be vocal that you want solutions and you want 247 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: permanent supportive housing in your neighborhood. So of course, um, 248 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: there's always more to learn. I suggest checking out the 249 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: Echo Park Rising hashtag and folks who have been reporting 250 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: from on the ground, you know. I follow the l 251 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: A Taco folks and the l A Times folks, And 252 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: if you are into local news, I suggest getting on 253 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: Twitter because a lot of journalists are out there on 254 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: the street and like streaming live and reporting directly. So um, 255 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: you know, get yourself educated and find out ways to 256 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: to help in your immediate circle of influence. So that's 257 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: our update for houselessness and Echo Park Rising. But of 258 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: course there's a lot going on in the world, and 259 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: we also wanted to talk a little bit about the 260 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: ongoing right, historical and current present day violence against Asian 261 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: Americans that has been taken taking place, and we want 262 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: to talk about the Stop Asian Hate conversation and initiative 263 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: and make sure that we cover that on the podcast 264 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: as well, because of course, our audience is a predominantly 265 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: Latin X audience, and our community is not free of 266 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: anti Asian prejudice and anti Asian racism. So I think 267 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: that we are just as responsible, uh for ensuring that 268 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: we're doing our own educating and not contributing to this issue. Yes, absolutely, Malla, 269 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: thank you for saying that, because you know here at 270 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: look at that we've been saying this four years now. 271 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: The work starts at home and it really us take 272 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: like those uncomfortable conversations with your family where you say, like, 273 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: this is not like your racial comments, your hateful comments 274 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: are not just jokes, right, things are not just jokes anymore. 275 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: There's like implicit violence in that, and there's also real 276 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: life consequences. As we see there has been a exponential 277 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans and the Asian community. 278 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: And we will be having a guest on our next 279 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: episode UM that will be speaking about the current climate 280 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: in the US and also the historical context as well. 281 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: And so we just want you to know that we 282 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: recognize and we will be bringing a guest UM that 283 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: can speak on that specifically.

Just 296 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: it's a nation statewide organization, so keep your eye out 297 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: for that and um so you can learn more as well. 298 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: Onto some global pop culture news, Selena the Series Part 299 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: two is set to air soon. It's going to drop soon. 300 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: If you have been listening to the podcast, you're following 301 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: us on social media, you will know that I had 302 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: a very strong reaction to Part one of Selena the 303 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: Series and all of their promotional materials. So we want 304 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: to just acknowledge that Part two is coming out. We 305 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: have seen the trailer. What do you think so far? 306 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: What do you think about the new trailer and what 307 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: are your expectations for part two? Okay, so I have 308 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: low expectations. I'll be honest, I have low expectations. However, 309 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: I want to reiterate that I want it to be good, 310 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: like I don't want it to fail. I don't want 311 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: it to be bad. I don't want a poor representation 312 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: of Selena. I don't want any of those things right. 313 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: And so I hope that it's good. I hope that 314 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: it's centered on Selena. I understand wanting to highlight more 315 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: of the band. I get that. I hope that it's 316 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: the band in relation to Selena and we get to 317 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: see her relationships with each member in different ways. Um. So, yeah, 318 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: I hope that it's good, but I have low expectations. Yeah, 319 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: I um to reiterate my gripes from season one, you know, 320 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: if less we forget. I thought that it was truly 321 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: tragic the way that Selena, the title character, had almost 322 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: no screen time and very few lines of a very 323 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: very shallow storyline I felt was written for Selena as 324 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: a character. And when it comes to season two, I've 325 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: seen the trailer. It's the Houston Astrodome. I think that 326 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: they're doing a better job at editing the dancing. Um, 327 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: the dancing looks a little bit better, you know, but 328 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is editing. I don't 329 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: want to be an overly harsh critic, but I will 330 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: say that the season, the Part two trailer centers the 331 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: Houston Astrodome concert, the show where she's in her glitterally 332 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: glittery purple jumpsuit, you know the one. So this is 333 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: like iconic, iconic, this scene, the jumpsuit, the Astrodome, the 334 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: disco medley, the whole thing. I also want to say, 335 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: I really hope that they don't write out Don Shelton 336 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: out of Part two. I actually have to go back 337 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: and watch the trailer again because I don't think that 338 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: she has backup dancers on the stage with her. I 339 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: think it's the band, it's the musicians, but I don't 340 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: see backup dancers on the stage. And I just want 341 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: to say that Don Shelton, for those maybe who are 342 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: not familiar with the name, he was Selena's one of 343 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: Selena's backup dancers who I feel when you watch Selena's 344 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: most iconic concert footage and her dance sequences that when 345 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: she's dancing with Don Shelton, they have the the most 346 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: amazing dance chemistry and on stage chemistry. Don Shelton has 347 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: passed away. He's been um passed for a few years now, 348 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: but he was her one of her only black backup 349 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: dancers who consistently like in her shows and in the 350 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: Houston Astrodome show specifically, right, And I think it's really 351 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: important that he'd be it because I'm in as far 352 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: as like the production, the show, the iconic imagery, our footage, 353 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: like he's there, He's part of her story in a 354 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: lot of their interviews, like where they included the dancers 355 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: in the band, you know, Selena and Don had like 356 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: a really fun back and forth and red parte and 357 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: like just really great like on screen chemistry and everything. 358 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: So I also want to say that, like I expect 359 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: Don Shelton and I don't see him, I will be upset. 360 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: Now it's important, I agree, um because he was an 361 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: important member of the team as well. And so yeah, 362 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: I agree. We cannot erase someone from her team, one 363 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: of the only black members that we know of that 364 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: was on her team, right, And so I'm hoping for 365 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: the best.

Mala, yes, one of 394 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: our favorite segments. We don't always include it because we 395 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: need a triggering event. Something needs to happen, a white 396 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: lady needs to do something weird and then we have 397 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: a segment. So this week on Weird Things White Women did, 398 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: we have a couple. We have a couple of examples. 399 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: We want to start with Dr Jill Biden. Poor things 400 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: she tried, She tried. It was the cea sampled away 401 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: heard round world on Caesar chop As Day. Obviously, tell 402 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: us more about Dr Jill Bilsa. You know, Dr Joe 403 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: Biden seems like a very lovely, well meaning white woman. 404 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: I will say that because they exist, you know those 405 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: like very just nice, poly well meaning white women, and 406 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: then they do something dumb and they try to speak 407 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: in Spanish to you. You know the ones they're out there. 408 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: You probably have encountered them. Lots of times, right, And 409 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: there's just something always cringe e about them trying to 410 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: speak Spanish to you. And also it's a microaggression it is, 411 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: and maybe like a macro aggression depending on what happens 412 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: right right, um, And so she was trying to see 413 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: say see sip boy. Then she'll say it with me, 414 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: say what way the future is a thank you? And 415 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: I feel kind of bad because look, give me a language. 416 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: I can really only pronounce things in English, and you know, 417 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: I could do a pretty good job in Spanish. Like 418 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: I'm still the ila, Like it's not perfect, but I 419 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: think that there is, Like I don't know, we gotta 420 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: like if I can't say this word folks, Like I 421 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: can't say it like I've tried, I've practiced it, it 422 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: might come up as offensive if I try. Is there 423 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: another way that I can honor this community and acknowledge 424 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: them without butchering their language? Well, I I think like 425 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: it just speaks larger to like politicians pandering to Latinos 426 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: by speaking Spanish. And we see that every election cycle, um, 427 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: where people start doing their whole speeches in Spanish and 428 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: it's mildly offensive, you know, Like I can't forgive like 429 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: a phrase, right, Jill, she said it wrong, she mispronounced it. 430 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: Someone on her teams did I preper correctly or maybe 431 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: maybe they did and she just sucked it up right. 432 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: I can forgive that, But like whole speeches in Spanish 433 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: when you're not a Spanish speaker, like I would rather 434 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: a paid translator, you know, like hire an actual translator 435 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: to translate your speech, you know, audibly. Um. I think 436 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: that that's fine. I think that's appropriate. But I think 437 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: like the pandering is like where it gets really cringe e. 438 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: It gets really cringe e. And you know, I mean 439 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: it's like this too. Um, we care about things other 440 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: than you know, and we don't have to do this 441 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: every time we talk about the Latino community. But not 442 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: everybody's being Spanish exactly, you know, And so they narrow 443 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: in on this like one detail that they're like, well 444 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: enough of them, the growing number of like us Latinos 445 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: probably speak more Spanguish than anything. It's like in evolving language. 446 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: We know that it's a living language, we speak it. 447 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: It has its own rules. You can't just like say, 448 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: decide which word is going to be said in Spanish 449 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: and what world is going to be said in English. 450 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: That's when we know your phony, you know, like, it 451 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. It has its own rules, um. 452 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: And also regionally like each like region of the states, 453 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: like has their own Spanish rules, like Spanguish in l A. 454 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: It's going to sound different than Spanglish in Miami or 455 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: Spanish in the on the East Coast in New York 456 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: or Boston, what have you? Right? So, yeah, recognized as always, 457 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: Latinet folks are not a monolith. We don't all speak Spanish. 458 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: Some of us do, some of us don't. Yeah, yeah, 459 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: so I don't know, Dr Jill. You tried, tried, girl, 460 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: she tried, she tried. We forgive her. We forgive her. 461 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: You know, message to politicians if you don't speak the language, 462 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: like don't I would just say, don't force it. Don't 463 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: force it. Like you also said, hire the translator, you know, 464 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: pay someone from the community to appropriately deliver the message. Yes, 465 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: I agree, yeah who And there's more. There are more 466 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: weird things that white women have done. And just to 467 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: be clear, you know, um, these are things that are 468 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: not just confined to this week or this moment. Most 469 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: of these are issues like that have history behind them. Right. 470 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: One of them, being as you all know, I have 471 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: been take I'm one of many people who have really 472 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: started practicing roller skating and such during the pandemic. I 473 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: started practicing my backwards skating and my tricks and my 474 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: this and my that. You know, I roller bladed and 475 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: I did some ice skating as a kid, and it's 476 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: something that's kind of always been with me because it's 477 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: so fun. Right, So, a few years ago I bought 478 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: my roller skates. I was really only skating indoors. I 479 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: would go to World on Wheels because that's my local 480 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: rink closest to my home. And it was in there 481 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: twenty when I noticed, right like all these women in 482 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: particular posting their roller skating videos and all the really 483 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: fun tricks they were doing, all the fun locations they 484 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: were skating at. I got really into skating at the beach, 485 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: especially the boardwalk in Santa Monica. And something I want 486 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: to talk about is what some folks refer to as 487 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: skate etiquette, right, and uh, the skate community, depending on 488 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: where you're at, but especially in Los Angeles, is very diverse. 489 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: But what I have learned over the course of like 490 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: my practice and getting more involved like in this in 491 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: this world is that skating, especially dance skating and jam 492 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: skating in l A is an art form that has 493 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: really been uh perfected by black skaters, by black skaters 494 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: who have been skating at the Venice Boardwalk for years, 495 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: who have been skating at different indoor rinks for years 496 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: for decades, and really in evading the skating that we 497 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: see super popularized now on Instagram. So something that I 498 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: have come to learn, you know, when I first started, 499 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: I was seeing like a lot of influencers and folks 500 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: posting like Anna Octo and a lot of skaters who 501 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: are like thin white women. And one of the moves 502 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: that especially other beginners skaters have probably seen and been 503 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: wanting to practice and emulate, I know I have, is 504 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: this one movement called the sexy walk, which is like 505 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: you're walking in place on your skates, one foot in 506 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: front of the other, or you're going backwards. And I 507 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: saw like a lot of influencers posting like, oh Anna 508 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: Octo has like the illest like sexy walk. It's like 509 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: the smoothest sexy walk, like she's so good. We'll come 510 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: to find right that that specific move was actually like 511 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: invented and made popular by a black woman skater named 512 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: Star who's from l A. So in my learning to skate, 513 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,959 Speaker 1: it's like coming to realize that even those very specific 514 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: like moves that anybody is doing and learning, but you 515 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: probably invented that and in l A. In any case, 516 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: most of those skaters have been like o G Black skaters. 517 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: And it's been interesting because apparently some of the more 518 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: popular newer like white women skate influencers with like hundreds 519 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: of thousands of followers, some of them have been like 520 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: learning from the O G Black skaters, many of whom 521 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: like do not really charge for their lessons. It's very 522 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: much like this is the culture, this is the knowledge. 523 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: Like if you show up and you're respectful and you're 524 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: dedicated and you want to learn, like we will teach 525 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: you, you you can learn, right. But then a lot of 526 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: these thin white women skate influencers with who have gotten 527 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: like gigs and like do alipa music videos and commercials, 528 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: some of them have in a pretty short amount of 529 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: time learned these moves from O G Black skaters, then 530 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: flip the knowledge and started charging skate lessons. Some of 531 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: these women apparently for a hundred dollars a session, which 532 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: apparently is extremely unheard of. And then allegedly, uh, some 533 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: of these white women and not showing up for their sessions, 534 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: that they charged people a hundred dollars for not refunding people. 535 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: I haven't done like a forensic investigation, but I'm following, 536 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: just along, following along online the conversation. So if you're 537 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: a skater and you're out there, you know, of course 538 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm super new. This is like my very shallow sort 539 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: of understanding of what's been going on. I recommend that 540 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: you follow accounts like um Farren, Lily Skates a lot Um, 541 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: just Stara, There's Sweet Hazel Roxy, Like there's all these 542 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: black women skaters both in l A and out of 543 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: skate who have been commenting and sharing and just kind 544 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: of giving some insight into the history and the appropriation 545 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: and what's been going on. So I say, like, if 546 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna skate, and you're gonna show up at like 547 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: historically black skate locations, make sure you know your history, 548 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: that you're being respectful, that you're not taking knowledge that 549 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: took decades to develop and skate styles that you know, 550 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: o G. Black skaters have been innovating on and then 551 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: like taking credit and like charging people hundred dollars for it. 552 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: That's not cool, guys. That is some white nonsense, honestly, 553 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: Like the audacity to charge people something that you were 554 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: taught for free or on the low, that is wild. 555 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: One thing is like you develop your craft, you taught yourself, 556 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: you trained, you studied, and you start your own like 557 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: small business or charging or whatever. Another thing is like 558 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: someone taught you for free and now you're going to 559 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: take their concept and like run with it as if 560 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: it's your own. That's not a good book. That's really bad. 561 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: That's very unethical. Actually, it's very unethical. And what I 562 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: also find interesting is like even when I was barely 563 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: starting and doing posting my little progress, there were followers 564 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 1: already deeming me and asking me if I would teach 565 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: skate lessons, which was weird because I'm like, do you 566 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: not see how bad I am? Like I'm literally posting 567 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: video evidence of how I'm learning and how I'm so 568 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: new and noviouce so something that definitely to me stood 569 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: out with this with uh, you know, the appropriation in 570 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: the skate community and the charging in the lessons is like, 571 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: if you have enough of a following and enough name 572 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: recognition and enough clout, folks are going to reach out 573 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: to you for the opportunity to like learn from you specifically, 574 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: like as a persona And so it's it's your responsibility then, 575 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: as an influencer or whatever, as someone who's a viillable 576 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: visible to not take people's money for things that you 577 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: can't deliver on. Like I it was funny to me, 578 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,479 Speaker 1: but I can also see how this can happen. Right, 579 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: You have a little bit of a following. People like 580 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: you you're doing something, they want to learn from you 581 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: or do the thing with you. Right, So I'm getting 582 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: d M from people asking me if I'll teach them 583 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: skate lessons. And I don't teach skate lessons. I'm new, 584 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: I'm I'm learning, Like I can't teach you this, you know. 585 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: So I think that that's part of the conversation too, 586 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: is like could you not refer them to somebody that 587 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: you learned from, Like, actually you should go learn from 588 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: this person. Yeah. Also, like what the funk? Like why 589 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: is I mean, I know why capitalism, right, but there's 590 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 1: just so much pressure to monetize your fucking hobby. Just skate, 591 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like have fun have your 592 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: little skate crew, Like we really have to monetize, Like 593 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: we're in a moment now, we're in a time period 594 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: where we really are monetizing everything, you know, everything, and 595 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: like one thing is your hustle and another thing is 596 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: like I'm going to steal from people and call it 597 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: my own. Yeah, uh, you know. I mean, it took 598 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: us a long time to even feel comfortable monetizing this podcast, 599 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: like really, like it has taken us so long to 600 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: feel like it's appropriate for us to earn money or 601 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: charge money or make money. We felt like we had 602 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: to put in a certain amount of time and work 603 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: and demonstrated whatever before we could put a dollar sign 604 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: on this. And so I think, as with all things, 605 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 1: it's like self awareness, give credit to people who taught you, 606 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 1: and like, you know, it takes a while to become 607 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: really good at something and to be in a position 608 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: to ethically charge people for your knowledge. So, I don't know, 609 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: weird things white women did this week. That's a little snapshot, 610 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: and we'd love to hear more.

And so he does exactly that. 655 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: He goes to Hell and he gives it a left dance. 656 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: I don't see what the problem is.

Um. 663 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: I love the inclusion of the poll and that Little 664 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: Nas learned how to do some pole dancing for the video. 665 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: Pole Dancing has also really become very much like a 666 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: pop culture phenomenon. I mean, going from like the strip 667 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: club to now pole dancing and people taking the techniques 668 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: and learning them.

I do believe 672 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: that a lot of the outcry is so bizarre and 673 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: hypocritical too, because it's like depending on who you talk to, 674 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, we talk about being recovering Catholic, but depending 675 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: on the type of Christian you're talking to. There are 676 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,919 Speaker 1: plenty of people that believe truly that Catholics are held 677 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: out like as a group. Right, It's true, It's so true. Um.

We also want to circle back to this 720 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: idea as um, this idea of Satan being a pop 721 00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: culture icon, because truly, truly we have grown up on 722 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: Satanic content, and we're gonna talk about our favorite Satanic 723 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 1: content today.

Um, 729 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 1: We've been we grew up on Satan the Devil as 730 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: a pop culture icon, not only like as a biblical 731 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: icon literally learning reading scripture like I've been to Catholic 732 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: school K through twelve, so like I know all about 733 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: the Devil.

I think that most Catholics, 739 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: most Christians, would agree that anything involving like witchcraft, the occult, vampires, demons, 740 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: like strange monsters, these are all considered satanic devilish things, right, 741 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: so I would include absolutely, like our favorite maccab families, 742 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 1: the Adams family, the monsters. They were dabbling in in 743 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 1: the dark arts of course, but doing it it was 744 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: so cute and fun. We love them, We love the 745 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: Adams family. We do yes.

It's funny too, because I've known of like 809 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: Latinos in particular, that like when they were growing up, 810 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: their parents did not allow them to read the Harry 811 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 1: Potter books or like the Twilight books or watch any 812 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: of the movies because right, you know, I was my father, 813 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: but we would do it anyway, you know, of course. 814 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,360 Speaker 1: But what I was thinking is also like how pagan 815 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 1: um we're going to drink the blood of Christ and 816 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: eat the Body of Christ, Like I'm sorry what I 817 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,319 Speaker 1: think about it all the time. You know, there's a 818 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: lot of paganism rooted in Catholicism and we know that 819 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,839 Speaker 1: right like that this is this is a fact. This 820 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: isn't like me making anything up. This is factual. Um. 821 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 1: And like I always like to say before I offend 822 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 1: anybody that's a practicing Catholic, like I feel like if 823 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: not us, people that two women that went to Catholic 824 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 1: school were raised Catholics have devout Catholic families, Like if 825 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: not us, then who can talk about Catholicism, you know, 826 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 1: like we have the lived experience.

People 833 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,240 Speaker 1: are like Catholics are like a weird little cult because 834 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: we are because it is, because it is it's very cult. Like, Um, 835 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of religions right that 836 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 1: like organized religions that have cult like tendencies, right, cult 837 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:41,360 Speaker 1: like proclivities. I just want to end on this thought. 838 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 1: Why our second graders forced to confess their sins?

Like having to think about that in 848 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,479 Speaker 1: prep because anxiety. Even as a child, I was like, Okay, 849 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 1: what am I going to tell the priest?

Lord Lord say ten our fathers and four 854 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: hail Mary's damn. Also, I'm going to complete my sacraments 855 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 1: because when I got so, I technically got confirmed. I 856 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: had the ceremony. When I don't I wasn't like officially confirmed. 857 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: So if I went to like my my local church, um, 858 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,479 Speaker 1: they would be like, no, you'd probably have to redo 859 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 1: it because I didn't go to the retreat, because when 860 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 1: you get confirmed, there's a retreat, and I didn't go 861 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 1: to the retreat because I went to l a pride in. 862 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:21,240 Speaker 1: I have no regrets. That's what I did instead, because 863 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: while I was getting confirmed, it was what I was 864 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: like questioning my sexuality, and so I was like, I'm 865 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 1: not doing this. This isn't happening. So I did it 866 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 1: as you shouldn't. Thank you made the right choice. No regrets. 867 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,839 Speaker 1: I made the right choice, No regrets. You definitely made 868 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 1: the right choice. I'm just gonna say this, getting confirmed, 869 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,359 Speaker 1: I don't get any discounts anywhere. There's no fast pass 870 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,919 Speaker 1: to the front of the line. I think you don't 871 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 1: get a fast pass to the Eucharis line. Noah, Noah, 872 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: and not to Heaven either, apparently.
