14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: because I had a had a Ron Harper basketball card.

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember run Harper and he had the double

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: part he had the double, remember, and I asked my

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: mom to give me a double and it too good?

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: And I thought it wouldn't know why he got double right, No,

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: that's because he's stuttered and he would always say things twice.

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: Are you serious? No, I just made it. But but

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be fun if that's why you did it? Yeah,

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: that would be amazing. That would have been an amazing area.

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: I would wouldn't that being cool with Ron? I was

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: always like, man, I'd be saying stuff twice? So did

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: you take that to the Barkner Shop Tomorrow's racist money stuff?

26
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: I can't tell me? Yes, sir, there it is Welcome

27
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: back to another week of my Mama told me the

28
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: podcast where we got deep, deep into the pockets of

29
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: black conspiracy theories and we weren't to prove that Vince

30
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: Staples is in fact heir to the Staples stationers store fortune.

31
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: It is a black owned company, y'all. How do you

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: think he takes so much time off music and still

33
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: has all that money? Also? Why is sprite so expensive

34
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: in there? You tell me whoa Well, you're coming in

35
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: with with two heavy things that that I think are

36
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: worth discussing. Number one, This starts to make me think

37
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: maybe that's the reason they replace the Staples Center. Do

38
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? That? Like that the the Lord,

39
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: the patriarch of the Staples family might be on a deathbed.

40
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: He might get his way out of here. They don't

41
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: want Vince Staples to come in and make the Staples

42
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Centers what we want it to be. What it's always

43
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: been meant to be, so they it's always been meant

44
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: to be black owned. It's always it was always meant

45
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: to be black owned. It was there was supposed to

46
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: be incense and dar chikis and come on, I never

47
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: you know what, I didn't believe you, but I was

48
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: gonna go with it because I'm in this one. Vince

49
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Staples was gonna take that ship over and they couldn't

50
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: have that, so they sold it off. Vince Stapless, Lord Staples,

51
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: first of his name. No, they couldn't handle it, so

52
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: they sold our ship off. And then on top of that,

53
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: they made sprite the most expensive sprite can be Staples.

54
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: One time, it was like yeah, no, they're They're like, hey,

55
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: we are charging the fuck if you want sprite that

56
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: bad to buy it at his Staples, you are paying

57
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: Hawaiian prices. Yeah, what am I going to know? You

58
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: know what I mean? You know what I'm getting. It's green.

59
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm thirsty as funk if I'm buying it here,

60
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, I have no other choice, Staples, I'm out

61
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: of options, So yeah, i'll pay. I'll pay a surcharge

62
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: for that ship. I'll away. You know, you know who

63
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: is probably much more thoughtful about all of her her things,

64
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: besides accusing than Staples of somehow sitting on billions of

65
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: secret dollars that he can't access. Is our guest today.

66
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I think she She seems like a much more reasonable,

67
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: much more well well considered person. She she is a podcaster,

68
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: she's a journalist, a culture critic, she's an executive producer.

69
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: At my heart, she she does it all. And she

70
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: just so happens to be the sister, the older sister

71
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: of our our very beloved editor for this show, a man,

72
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: a man who we respect dearly. And Cherry, I know

73
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: you were just trying to play him out not five

74
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: minutes ago. Sure, I told him he looked like a cop.

75
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: But you say that, you say that, sans Beard with

76
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: a part in your head. That's a bold statement. Buddy.

77
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm lashing out. They made me look ridiculous, and I'm

78
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: just trying to hurt the people closest to me. We

79
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: love Justin. He does phenomenal word and we couldn't be

80
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: more excited than his sister, but a much, a much,

81
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: very talented person outside of just his sister. She's joining

82
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: us today. Please give it up for our guests, Miss

83
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Joel Monique. I think I'm looking forward to cracking up.

84
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: I hope I can, like you, totally crack up. So

85
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: I haven't like totally cracked up in a long time. Yeah,

86
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: that's how we do. Intros around here. Are welcome. Hey,

Speaker 1: thanks so much for having me. I feel kind of great.

88
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: You guys are like she, She seems like he has

89
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: your ship together. It means whatever I'm projecting is working.

90
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: The lies out there, strong and going. This is totally

91
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: a together woman to us. We love it. We're impressed

92
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: over this one. Yeah, you impressed. This whole part perfect. Perfect.

93
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: So you came to us with a conspiracy theory. I'm

94
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: very excited to jump into this. You came to us

95
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: with the conspiracy theory that I feel like I've heard

96
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: versions of, but never quite this specifically phrase you said,

97
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: My mama told me if you cut a girl's here

98
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: before her first birthday, she'll be cursed with bad here. Yes, yes,

99
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: I loves everything. I like. Every culture has a version

100
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: of this story. I used to work at a children's

101
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: hair salon, and like the northern part of Chicago, so

102
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, like all these rich kids come in and

103
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: get their hair cut. But it's like it was a

104
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: Diasti in Chicago, so you know, the Diastera is very

105
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: mixed and blended. And there was a lot of concern

106
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: about like is it time to cut my daughter's hair.

107
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: If I cut it, well I ruin it, which is

108
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: a ridiculous. We could just up front said it's a

109
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: ridiculous statement, like and it changes every seven years. There's

110
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: a way changes every seven years. Okay, as you evolve

111
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: and grow. There's at no point in time will cutting

112
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: your hair affect how it comes out of your head. However,

113
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: the superstition is really strong. Moms particularly really freak out

114
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: about it. They want their girls to have I think

115
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: in the black community it's all about curl pattern and

116
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: jacking that up too early, that you've got that lovely

117
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: baby hair when you're little. They want to keep that

118
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: intact into your older ages as long as possible. So

119
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: don't cut it. Do you cut it? How short? All

120
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: of that like, it has real importance. I remember in

121
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: the white community, we would not like cut girl's hair

122
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: until they're like four or five. Typically like you got

123
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: a haircut way later if you're a white little girl,

124
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: which I always found very interesting. They were not keep

125
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: so so for the black parents that they were more

126
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: often cutting the girl's hair early, just not at one,

127
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: so like at three they're coming in cutting yeah, two

128
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: or three, like let's keep it even, you know, especially

129
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: as the natural came into popularity again, we're seeing like,

130
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: let's make sure the frozen not to uneven. Can't we

131
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: just either that or they were taking them to a

132
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: braider and be like, let's just keep this braided up

133
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: and going. We'll just trim the ends, get you that

134
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: long hair by the time you hit first grade. These

135
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: are the poles. I feel like for most people, well,

136
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: you already debunked it because I was like, oh, this

137
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: is for sure true. I was about you didn't you

138
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: didn't say in the least bit, uh, fully on board

139
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: with the premise, And then Joel was like, I I

140
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: don't believe any of this and it's nonsense. I was.

141
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: I thought I was totally true because I had like,

142
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: not me, I, but my little brothers they have nicer

143
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: hair than me, and that we didn't cut their until

144
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: they were like three or four, And I guess I

145
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: always thought that there was something I don't know in

146
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: my head. It's like something like you gotta grow into

147
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: it first before you let it reset or something. I

148
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: don't have any science on this, but that is I

149
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: never heard that seven years ship ever, I believe it.

150
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I never had heard that was the

151
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: first for me, and I I also was like seven years.

152
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: I didn't read none about those seven years, but you

153
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: seemed very confident, and in that way, I was gonna

154
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: nod through it. I would again, I would say, just

155
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: it'sfore I would say my purview is specifically for a

156
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: class of people that do not mind spending like twenty

157
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: to sixty dollars on their child's hair cut. It's not

158
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: a green eclipse where you're just like shearing children. They

159
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: were like, we need trendy styles and like okay. So

160
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: for white little girls, it was like the classic Bob

161
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: Like they would come in, they'd have their long hair

162
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: their whole lives. They've been growing out since babies, and

163
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: when they hit like between first and third grade, suddenly

164
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: as like a sign of maturity or like a year

165
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: older now, or maybe mom's just tired of doing the hair.

166
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: Whatever the reason, they came in and they got the

167
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: same like under the ear tucked bob all of them.

168
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: It was like a standard for like two of my

169
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: like stylist when I was working at the salon. So

170
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: I just think that, like, you know, okay, for in

171
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: the white community, it's all about like their girls tend

172
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: to be blonde for longer. It was like, just let's

173
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: have this long, blonde, shining hair going around with your

174
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: little When you're older, you could start taking care of

175
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: your own hair, will do a big chop, You're good

176
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: to go. For black girls, I felt like it's a

177
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: lot about just curl pattern and keeping that consistent as

178
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: they grow up and giving them more options with their

179
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: hair as they're older. I think there's a lot of

180
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: fear of some how damaging it so they won't be

181
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: able to write natural, or they'll only be able to

182
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: wear it straight or whatever. There's so much anxiety about

183
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: how our hair is going to come out of our heads,

184
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: how we'll be perceived for that. Well, I guess that's

185
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: that's one of the questions that it's sort of like

186
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: is leading me to, is how much of this do

187
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: you feel like it's just some weird internalized racism, do

188
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean that? Like, some of it

189
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: almost reads like that we can only be pure at

190
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: a certain point, and if we somehow unleash ourselves of

191
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: this purity, we we become less good for the white

192
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: man and his appearances and expectations whatever the fun. I

193
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: think it's a heavy dose of racism and misogyny. Right.

194
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: So I was talking to somebody who just had a

195
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: baby girl, and she was all excited, and every time

196
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: she told people she was pregnant with a girl, they

197
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: would be like, I'm so sorry. Girls are terrible, so difficult.

198
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: She's gonna steal your beauty, She'll steal your day, right.

199
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: I think, even if it's not misogynistic, that's a pretty

200
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: crazy thing to say to somebody that this baby is

201
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: is gonna fucking maleficent you your youth in six to

202
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: nine months. Face. I mean that is And I think

203
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: like some people feel like in competition with their daughters,

204
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, now she's beautiful, and she's like, you know,

205
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: got the lime white for whatever he's It's a very

206
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: weird attitude for people to take on that we've seen

207
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: it and it's weird and I think in real life.

208
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: But then on the flip side is that you have

209
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: a lot of moms who sort of live curiously through

210
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: their daughters and their beauty and they're like, I have

211
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: the most beautiful daughter and my friend group she's she's marrying.

212
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: She's like, look at these guys that are after her,

213
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: like literally showing us like recently head dinner with my

214
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: mom and a bunch of her friends. Um, like this

215
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: feels very Yeah, she's wearing a green shirt. She keeps

216
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: asking where is the bathroom? But she doesn't get up

217
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: to use the bathroom. But I think that there's a

218
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: lot to be said about like the fear around like

219
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: is your daughter gonna be so beautiful that it's going

220
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: to be a problem. Is your daughter going to be

221
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: more beautiful than you? Is your daughter going to be accepted? Period?

222
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Around like their hair? And then like that's one of

223
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: the first major decisions you make as a parent, right,

224
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: like what are we Like we got their clothes, their

225
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: room is kind of set up, They've gotten all their

226
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: shots and doctors stuff, Like a lot of the big

227
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: scary stuff is out of the way. But then it's

228
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: like when do we cut their hair? And here is

229
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: so personal to us, Like do you all remember your

230
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: first haircut or did your parents take video of it

231
00:13:50,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: at all? I I don't remember. America's funniest no, we

232
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: did not have was a lot. I worked out we

233
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: would do a first haircut package where we would like

234
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: film it. Of course, now your parents have like cellphones

235
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: and stuff, but I think even back in the day,

236
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: you would have people coming like film it, like it's

237
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: a momentous occasion, like this is the very first time,

238
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: and some really traumatic experience is connected to that. I

239
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: don't know that that was treated that way in my home,

240
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: but maybe that's just because my parents are who they are.

241
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine it was even like I I

242
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: can't imagine my hair ever got even that one. I

243
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: I bet it was pretty young I got my first one.

244
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: I think I similarly don't know that my hair got

245
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: like crazy long, but it probably like was throwed out

246
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: when I was like a baby and a kid from

247
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: my I remember specifically asking my mom because my mom

248
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: used to cut my hair and I thought she was

249
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: good at it, but it turns out who she wasn't.

250
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: She got outside The first haircut I remember is asking

251
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: my mom for a Michael Jordan's haircut. I wanted to

252
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: look like Michael Jordan's because I'm a kid in Chicago.

253
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to be bald like Michael Jordan's because I was.

254
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: It was, it wasn't crazy. There were people doing the thing,

255
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I I said, give me

256
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: the Michael Jordan's. She was like, I don't think you

257
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: want the Michael Jordan. I was like, give me that

258
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: goddamn Michael Jordan's Michael Jordan, swear to God. And she

259
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: finally gave me what. What was her negotiation with the baldy.

260
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: She just like buzzed it super low and I cried

261
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: for it was the worst choice I could have made,

262
00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: was was having that. Of course they did look at this,

263
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: this bald scalp and not slap the ship out of it.

264
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: I remember. I remember my mom cut my hair for

265
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: a long time too, and she gave me a part one.

266
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of parts, she gave me a man. It was.

267
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: It was. It wasn't that she gave me the double

268
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: and it didn't work. And I thought it worked okay,

269
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: And then I got to the Boys and Girls Club

270
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: and they went in it was a yeah, that's tough

271
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: man hair that we sell that to say, Joel, hair,

272
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: to your point is a very precious thing for everyone

273
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: in a way that it does feel like at the

274
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: point that my hair becomes fucked up, I would want

275
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: to be able to blame something grander than myself that

276
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: like maybe my parents did a horrible thing to me

277
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: at one that made my hair turn terrible, instead of

278
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: just admitting like, oh, I don't know how to take

279
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: care of my ship right right, And then I think

280
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: about too, Like so I feel like if you get

281
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: a kid on the spectrum, like getting a haircut can

282
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: be like super intimidating, or if you're just a kid

283
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: who's like, this is a new experience, I have anxiety.

284
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: If you're just a child with anxiety coming in to

285
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: get your hair cut, like all of it is just

286
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: like a very intense emotional experience for a lot of people,

287
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: not everyone, but for a lot of people. And I

288
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: think that there's this feeling that if you at least

289
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: wait until they're after one, you know their heads the

290
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: right shape that's pretty much gonna be growing up. You

291
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: can like get the haircut to match how they look,

292
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: you know a little bit more about their personality that

293
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: we can match that up a little bit. Yeah, some

294
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: plates ain't finished shifting, so we we probably clippers. What

295
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: have you pressed the clippers into the gooey spot? Now?

296
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Now my baby broken because you because you wanted to

297
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: give him a ball fade. That's how That's how a

298
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: beautiful mind happened. All right, I think I think we

299
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: gotta take a break. We'll be back with more. Joe

302
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: or not the gooey spot gives you mental powers. No,

303
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. It's not even called the gooey spot.

304
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: You gotta press, you gotta press a certain like code

Speaker 1: hit that gooy spot the right way, you're gonna be strong.

307
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: You put the Konami code on that gooey spot, you're

308
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna raise the savage. No. I was just thinking about

309
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: this because now I'm realizing I'm listening to all this

310
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: talk about children in their hair and how little autonomy

311
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: I've ever had over my hair that I never chose

312
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: my haircuts as a kid. I mean I could choose

313
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: like if I wanted a part or not. But other

314
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: than that, like the idea of like long hair or something.

315
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: Never like you couldn't come home and be like mom,

316
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting braids now. No, it was like because my

317
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: mom's super African twotors like vasily on the face, short haircut. Okay, okay,

318
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: I feel the same way. And as one of you,

319
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: it's like a black pant thing like for me, it

320
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: was immediately perm like relaxer at four or five, the

321
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: kids relaxed, remember the kids. For me was actually on

322
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: that boxes a little boy. I believe it simply. Although

323
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: I said that wh all those girls came out and

324
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: they were like, never used a relaxer, no black to winter.

325
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: A bunch of the little girl models are now adult women,

326
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: and all of them were talking about how they had

327
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: never had to relax there in their entire life and

328
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: that they were just Harald dude, dude, I know I

329
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: need to get to these niggas on the three sixties

330
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: styling box. They're just peeling bad wigs. Those guys looked amazing,

331
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: do you remember them. I will say this that now

332
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: having been on enough sets where like a barber comes

333
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: in with that that spray. Yeah, but when they're using

334
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: it for for justice and not for like weird evil,

335
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: they can make YO ship look sharp than a motherfucker.

336
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: I was on I'm gonna tell I'll tell you guys

337
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: the truth. We're friends. I was on a TBS show.

338
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: They geemed up. I felt incredible. Yeah, it's a wild

339
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: power that they can employ if they do it the

340
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: right way and even the wrong way. Jalen Real looks great. No,

341
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: but Jalen Rose is doing it the most evil way possible.

342
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: He I just think he truly is making us believe

343
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: that barbers have that potential to like to never let

344
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: our line ever come out of place ever. And the

345
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: truth is we are vulnerable, we are human, and Jalen

346
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: Roses is on some weird we are I hear what

347
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: you're saying. I love a dude. I love a black

348
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: dude with hair that looks wet. I think it's so cool.

349
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: I think it's so cool. I always from Jerry girl, Like,

350
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what of the aspirations were kept. Okay,

351
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: all right, Joel, were you allowed to choose your hair

352
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: after you said perm immediately. But at what point were

353
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: you able to like assert a little dominance over this.

354
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: When I was seventeen and I cut it all off,

355
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: I pulled a willow. Much later in life, I was like,

356
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm cutting it all, all of it off.

357
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: I really wanted to go natural because I'm a I'm

358
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: a lazy girl. Like if you have relaxed hair, you

359
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: can't be lazy. You gotta get up in the morning,

360
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: like you can never step out in the rain. You

361
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: gotta be worried about humidity. When I was living in Chicago,

362
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: it's too many things to constantly be worried about if

363
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: you have your hair relaxed. And I wasn't good at

364
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: doing the hair wraps yet, so I was like, I

365
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: just gonna cut it all off and go natural. And

366
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: when I learned you could just do a wash and goal,

367
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: I was like, is this heaven? This is what life

368
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: was really? If you lived like you should just be

369
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: able to wrench your hair out and throw some products

370
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 1: and walk out the door. So did you cut it

371
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: and then just show up bald headed at home or

372
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: did you like notify everybody to be like, hey, this decision,

373
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: this is what I want here we go somewhere in

374
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: the middle. So I would go to my mom's stylist

375
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: growing up. So I got that first, like relax or

376
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 1: that was at my mom's hair swan and we would go,

377
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, every six months to a year, depending on

378
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: how good financially the year was going. And so I

379
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: went in and they were like the usual, and I

380
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: was like, no, cut it out off, like your mom

381
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: knows this, like sure, does it totally fine? Cut it off?

382
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: She thought it was can't worked out. She was like,

383
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: oh okay, I see what you're going for. She would

384
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: have never allowed it. How all the way off we talk,

385
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: they had these clippers, which was a shock. They're like okay,

386
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: were like shaving the backs and it was like do

387
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: you remember when Rihanna did the Umbrella video and it

388
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: was like long and and really typed the back. It

389
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: was that, okay, okay, that's a good look. Yeah it word.

390
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: I like it. I remember the I was like, these

391
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: guys win know, they're kind of suits of Rihanna. I'm

392
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: a big fan. Are you all excited for the NFL

393
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl show? I am excited for this impowl

394
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: on Rihanna both they have all kind of prop bets

395
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: for the halftime show. Yeah, like how many people should

396
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: bring out and that I want her to bring out

397
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: like a hundred people like she did for that BT

398
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: Awards show. Yes, I like, this is the dopeest thing

399
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in life. Yeah, my wife and not

400
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: talked about it all the time that Rihanna. I would

401
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: much rather see Rihanna in concert than most people, just

402
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: because it feels like a friend is performing, Like she

403
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: kind of feels like Rihanna. Yeah, like she seems like

404
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: a home girl more than like like Beyonce. It feels

405
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: like if you walk in a room with Beyonce, you

406
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: don't even do like you don't you can't have a

407
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: regular conversation with that. The same way about Rihanna, though,

408
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't think she's gonna see me and be like, oh,

409
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: do you want to smoke a punt with me? Have

410
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: you seen Rihanna's team? Though, David, Rihanna loves a real

411
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: person like Rihanna, like all of her people are like

412
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: homies from way back in the day. I feel like

413
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,480

Speaker 1: I I think if I told I think if I

418
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: told Rihanna my booty hole itches, she would laugh and

419
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: we would have a good time. That's your open That's

420
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: how I start. That's how I start. What you welk

421
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: up to rio up, Rihanna, Rihanna, I don't have anybody

422
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: else I could tell with my bootio it's just like

428
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: think it would go that way for me. The same

429
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: Awards show, Hey girl body and he's like security. They

430
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: would already be on me from the first day. He

431
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: saw me coming from across, they saw me leave the stable,

432
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: they didn't clock me. I love the idea that you

433
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: don't even get it out because securities tackled my booty

434
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: all in chase. Please just let me go on my

435
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: body And then as they're taking me on, I'm remember me,

436
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, all right, let's jump into this research,

437
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: because this is general tom foolery here. I did look

438
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: it up, and Joel, you are absolutely correct that there

439
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: is no real core relation between cutting a child's hair

440
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: at any point and their hair quote unquote becoming bad.

441
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: That is a myth. Yes, I know that somebody who

442
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 1: was terrified to cut her hair my whole life. They're like,

443
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: it won't grow right, or you have to cut with

444
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: the curl pattern. And by the time the pandemic came

445
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: out without like a pair of my own sister. So

446
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: I was like, let's just do this hair. It'll grow back.

447
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: I'm tired of being afraid of it. Uh yeah, No,

448
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: you could. However, you touch your hair, eventually it'll just

449
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: come back out of the scalp like it normally would. Yes,

450
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: now they do scout. Okay, because I knew you were

451
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: going to bring this up. If I imagine you're about

452
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: to bring up the fact that they tell you to

453
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: like shave your facial hair to make it grow back

454
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: thicker and or more effective, I'm bringing up you know

455
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: how much Jamaican black cast Royal I had to purchase

456
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: to give this ship to connect mm. This is like

457
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: you think that this is how it started. No, no, no,

458
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: this is years of like staying on top of it.

459
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: Now here's what I'll tell you, And I'm curious to

460
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: hear both of your thoughts on this. What research would

461
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: say is that that is simply time and genetics that

462
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: major ship connect much more than it was the connected

463
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: no length, it was hard worth soil is the truth.

464
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with David on this one. So

465
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: you were you were, I got a beard at nine

466
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: team that she didn't connect till are you hearing what

467
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Actually a moment ago and now you're going

468
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: with this motherfucker some thousands and change. It's amazing, like

469
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: like it pulls it a little. The hairline, I'm frond,

470
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: which is really nice for me. You know, it's a

471
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: little bitner. It's like, you know, you making black castro oil.

472
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: So I mean the hair is more luges, it's growing better.

473
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: It's I'm not belittling the product. I'm just saying it

474
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 1: sounds like that it's not miracle grow. You're not chia pets.

475
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: It's it's your genetics changing over time that made your

476
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: beard connects. Why would my genetics change the clothes It is.

477
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: It doesn't sense. It doesn't even make sense. I'm saying

478
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: that that it is the the your body evolving. It's

479
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: not the genetics my body evolving. What are you talking about?

480
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: Body evolving? You dug your heels in in a way

481
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: that this is this conversation. Wouldn't you ever work because

482
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: you'd be a nuts you know, you know how I

483
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: got a beard. I got a beard from Jamaican black

484
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: castor oil. That's how I did it. I'm not, I'm not.

485
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: This is insane what you're saying to me, Jete. There's

486
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: no genetic reason that it would feel in late. It's

487
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: the same reason that that you you didn't start off

488
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: with the motherfucker filled in you. Yeah, that was testosterone

489
00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: and puberty and ship. Your testosterone levels change more as

490
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: you get older. Alright, I'm saying. I'm like maying, the

491
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: closure happened because I couldn't work, because you read this

492
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: for the top of that and you over it. You

493
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: held it up to the moon light. Don't make me

494
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: a pagan. It's the Jamaicans, the black castroil, because what

495
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: did it? I'm searching and trying to figure out. I

496
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: used to have to go and the barber would be like,

497
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: you want me to just cut this little bit off here,

498
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, yeah, you might as well. And

499
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: then I found black castroil and it filled my ship in. Man.

500
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm a testament why you have a superior here, David.

501
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: It worked and we can all thank you. Man. This

502
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: guy's what we're here trying to say. Because my body's

503
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: giving out. Well, let me say praise job. We we

504
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: thank him every day for his contributions to your beard.

505
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: You are bad, bad, I'm but but but but as

506
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: they say, and uh, we're all super grateful for your

507
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: for your perfect castor oil beard. Uh. I did bump

508
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: into some other sort of like conspiracies arguments inside of this,

509
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: uh that the hair grows back thicker when you cut

510
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: it over time, which is also apparently not true. They

511
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: do say that basically cutting baby hair, because most children's

512
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: hair is that new hair for like the first six months,

513
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: that even cutting a baby's hair in the first year

514
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: is often it was hair that was already gonna kind

515
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: of fall out on its own, So you're really just

516
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: playing with like some temporary ass hairs in the first place.

517
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: And I think this is really like mom's lamenting the

518
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: fact that their children don't have like that brand new baby. Yeah,

519
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, moms were like all of a sudden, they're like,

520
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: I just hold you here, and how you're like to

521
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: if you're like walking and everything is like a just

522
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: it's not the same as it was, and that induces

523
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: some level of like panic of like time passing by

524
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: too quickly or something like that. I really feel like

525
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people, like you want to hold onto

526
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: the baby years as much as possible, So really don't

527
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: cut that hair because that will be the thing that

528
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: instigates change faster. Yeah, A part of me wondered, and

529
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: I'd be curious to hear both your thoughts on this.

530
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: A part of me wondered if this connects back to

531
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 1: some slavery ship, just that you know, they used to

532
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: shave slaves upon sort of like receipt of them or

533
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,959
Speaker 1: or exchange of them, they'd shave them, or or often

534
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: catching them. They'd shave them to avoid like you know,

535
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: lice and fucking other things that were potentially going to

536
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: be carried in the hair. Also, you didn't give a

537
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: funk about them as humans, so like you do whatever

538
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: you want to them. That said, it's like if if

539
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: you had a generation of children who were then shaved,

540
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: you are going to make generations after of people who

541
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: cherish hair in a way that you can't undo. If

542
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: that makes sense totally. I have to think about like

543
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: a lot of the laws in surround, like post Slavery

544
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: two around black women in hair. Like we know in

545
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: Louisiana there was a law that all black women had

546
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: to cover their hair because white women were like, your

547
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: their hairs fire and we're jealous, so please cover that ship.

548
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: We don't want to see it. And even into today

549
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: we see a lot of how you know, schools like

550
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: to police black children's hairstyles, which is irritating. I don't

551
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: know if this necessarily for like children goes back. I mean,

552
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: how much control did we have over our babies in

553
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: their hair even back then. I don't know. I can't

554
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: imagine they were like, all right, you cut your hair,

555
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: but the baby can't have pigtails. Like everybody, everybody's ugly

556
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: over here as far as workingcerned, so cut it. Yeah, Yeah,

557
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: we really don't care about your style personally otherwise. Yeah.

558
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: The the other piece of research that that I sort

559
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: of found myself bumping into was that there's a bunch

560
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: of other weird ass conspiracies that people around, with, none

561
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: of which being that eating carrots or the heels of

562
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: bread will make your child's hair curly? Have either of

563
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: you heard that conspiracy? Mean the heels of bread will

564
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: make your chick That was invented by a grandfather who

565
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: was like, why do we always have a heal of

566
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: bread around the house? You want your child, that baby,

567
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: beautiful hair, eat this heel of bread. Okay, me out

568
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,959
Speaker 1: of my house. He's like, he's like, we're not throwing

569
00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: away to booty bread. I like the booty bread bird.

570
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't even you like the heel of the bread.

571
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't like a sandwich. I don't like it for

572
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: a sandwich. No, nor what I think it's better as

573
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: like toast or like if you sometimes, and maybe this

574
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: is just a bad eaters decision making, but sometimes you

575
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: just eat a piece of bread and I heal the

576
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: heal bread. That ship tastes good when you just eat

577
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: a piece of bread, like no heat, just naked bread. Yeah,

578
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: you just pick out a piece of bread and you

579
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 1: go to town on that motherfucker. I've never been so hungry.

580
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: Different do you put stuff on it. No, sometimes I

581
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: just fold it up. We do a whole wat over

582
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: at my house now. But but I've done it with

583
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: wonder Bread. I've done it with all the breads wonder Bread. Yun,

584
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: if we're listen, I'm comfortable about saying I'm comfortable being

585
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: the only one on this on this eating bread by itself.

586
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: I got a little bimbo soft white right off camera.

587
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not gonna hear any disrespect for the

588
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: wonder Bread. Wonder Bread did a lot of good stuff

589
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: for for a lot of dead down in World War

590
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Definitely got us. Yeah, it's the best for peanut butter

591
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: and jelly. Actually, you if you you're telling me that

592
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: if you had to make like a craft grilled cheese

593
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't prefer wonder Bread for that, I would

594
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: never make a craft grilled cheese, because craft that's just

595
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: like a sour dough with like some monster cheese. Maybe

596
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, Joe, Well, I didn't know your one percent.

597
00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was mink that I was

598
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: born to be budge. Okay, my mom said French names,

599
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: so other people like her, and she'll be Bougee and

600
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: like fancy ship and I do. I thought she went

601
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: by Joel Monique, But you are Joel's space x Monique.

602
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: As far as I'm oh, you don't. Never. You never

603
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: got down on the craft singles the shows when I

604
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: didn't have the option to buy my own groceries. Yes,

605
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: I ate a craft singles geese sandwich, and I thought

606
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: it was fine. I also ate my little Campbell soup

607
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: and it was good too. But now I have options. Okay,

608
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: alive in California. We're the best damn farmers. I gotta

609
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: love a farmer's market. There's a little French stand that

610
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: tells you like the salury dough bread and the circular

611
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: wolf are great. I whoa, those are thick butts. I

612
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: can eat all that. But last episode, the last episode,

613
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: that's a little that's a little Easter egg for whoever

614
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: did But no, I I look. I I am in

615
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: no way suggesting that you can only eat a grilled

616
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: cheese that way, or there aren't better ways of experiencing

617
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: these things, or healthier ways rather. But I will say

618
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: that there's no part of me that wants to run

619
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: away from those roots that form the individual I am,

620
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: and and God do I owe a lot to a

621
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: wonder bread as grilled cheese sandwich. Yeah, you know, the

622
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: butterness for the choice in my in my household. Sometimes

623
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll see the little blue and white checker packaging and

624
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: I'll get a little nostalgic for my childhood sugartoast and

625
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: ship we were or or are weeds good? Yeah? An

626
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: one that's pretty tasty too. I I will say that

627
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't There is no evidence of carrots and or

628
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: booty bread being a source of making your hair curly. Again,

629
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: genetics is the thing that often does it. They do

630
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: say that eating healthier does lead to like healthier hair,

631
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: But I think that's like in the way that like

632
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: all things in our body are sort of symbiotic in

633
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: that way that like, if you put better foods in

634
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: your body, all your ship's gonna work better than it

635
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: would have worked if you ate fucking like you know,

636
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: dirt checks out. Do you want to come see my

637
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: mama told me why at the Allegian Theater on February six.

638
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: But you don't live in Los Angeles? Have we got

639
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: an offer for you? We're live streaming it via moment House.

640
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: We're doing Q and as you can see me, you

Speaker 1: can see Langston tell him about please purchase tickets at

642
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: moment dot c O slash. My mama told me again

643
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: February six at the Alician Theater, but in your homes

644
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: for the live stream or the next five days after.

645
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: So by those tickets. My personal favorite conspiracy that I

646
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: I came across and looking up all this hairship is

647
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: a theory that people say you should wash your child's

648
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: hair until it squeaks. Hence the name or the the

649
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: phrase squeaky clean. Now that's connected to slavery. WHOA, that's

650
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: say more. Yeah, I don't know, so I trying to

651
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: remember the James Baldwin quote. I'll paraphrase it. There's a

652
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: lot of thought, and you can see in old advertising

653
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: that black was dirty and particularly post slavery. Right when

654
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: we're like pre Jim Crow, we're really working to assimilate

655
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: and engage in like society. And the thing Robin told

656
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: us like you're dirty, you're disgusting. You can be porters,

657
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: you can raise chickens, but that's it. These are the

658
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: lanes will allow you to occupy slavery. And so we

659
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: see going past that into Jim Crow and beyond there's

660
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: this fear that if we are not christinely clean, then

661
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: we can be observed as being dirty and filthy, and

662
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 1: that will hold you and possibly the entire race back,

663
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: because you know, one of us equals all of us.

664
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: So I really think that, like the idea of needing

665
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: to be perfectly polished is a reaction to how we

666
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,959
Speaker 1: were treated post slavery. I will say, and I don't

667
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: want to bring up the specifics because I don't want

668
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: to incriminate anybody. I was recently in a conversation about

669
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: who we thought the cleanest race was. Who did you?

670
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: Did y'all land on a on a agreed race? Black

671
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: people were the cleanest. And I'm not gonna go down

672
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: the list because you have to tell me. You have

673
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: to tell me if you're a cop. That's to day.

674
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: But we definitely getting a heated, heated debate about, Yeah,

675
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: who do you think is the cleanest race? I know

676
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: Black people are the cleanest because of the way the

677
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: Internet reacts any time we talk about just washing a leg, Yes,

678
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: let water roll down your body, Like what? And it's like,

679
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: who told you that? Who didn't you? Did you? How

680
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: did you? Is this strange to ask? How did you

681
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: learn how to wash. I don't think that's strange to

682
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: ask at all, Like I mean, I don't know, like

683
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: my mom showing me how to watch it was like

684
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: a game like oh, get you get the wash cloth

685
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: and then you rub it up and you get it sofy,

686
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: and you rub here and rub here. Yeah, there was

687
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 1: a checklist when you got out of the shower. Did

688
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: you you rush your teeth? Let me really, yes, yes,

689
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: yeah I did. Yeah. No. I think it was similar

690
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: where you know, bathtimes, somebody is like, hey, have fun,

691
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: but you know, let's get serious about we're in here

692
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: to work to did but we gotta win, you know.

693
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: But it is that's fucking terrifying. The idea of I

694
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: didn't even know hair could squeak, if I'm being honest,

695
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: that you would wash it to the point that it

696
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: would make a a noise. I did think maybe that

697
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: was a white thing. So I was surprised to hear you,

698
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: Joel say it's a slave thing. Although I believe you

699
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: because I don't know if black people ever said squeaky clean.

700
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: But the idea that you know that level of cleanliness,

701
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely a thread that runs in the

702
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: black community. But yeah, I thought white people's hair was

703
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: the only one that could even possibly squeak, can squeak?

704
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: That would be impressive. I think if you had like

705
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: a sponge and you rubbed it sharply across a white

706
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: lady's hair laying down, it might make like almost go

707
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: do you mean like a Jennifer Anista white lady? Though?

708
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: Like it's got a who's Like if you rub a

709
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: sponge across Gwyneth Paltrow's hair, it'll play like a fucking harp,

710
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like it it'll squeak out

711
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: if you play it backwards. It tells you to whip

712
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: the devil. Oh, it's a devil heart. Let's be clear,

713
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: it ain't this is This isn't a heart made by

714
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: no angels that made the doubles hard. This is a

715
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: fallen angel ass heart that we're listening to. But it

716
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: is a heart. Oh man. Yeah. I even the the

717
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: idea of washing hair that often feels like a white thing.

718
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: I know that most black people do not wash their

719
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: hair every day. That that isn't a thing much. It's crazy, right,

720
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: So you you build up oils and of differently. I

721
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't wash my hair. I just use nuts and

722
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: berries from the forest. But how I actually do wash

723
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: my hair every day. But I think it's because I

724
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: have a white father who gave me or at least

725
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 1: scalp like wash every single day. I think I got

726
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: like white people oil and condition. Yeah, I try to

727
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: condition it. Wow, what happens if you don't? Have you

728
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: ever just tried to be like I'm rugged. No, just

729
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: be like taky and fucking you know what I mean?

730
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: Like white people have to wash it every day because

731
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: then they're like, how straight is your hair? I wonder

732
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: it's not it's very is your growing your hair out?

733
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: Linswers it's been. Yeah. I've had braids multiple times in

734
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: my life, and there's no need for us to discuss

735
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: that anymore. Find pictures, send them to maybe. How about

736
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 1: you mind your goddamn business. How about that? You remember Lloyd?

737
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: I bet you had braids like Lloyd. Yeah, if you

738
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 1: shut your ring this outside, maybe we can go highs.

739
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: Go ahead, my neck. That was even my Lloyd go

740
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: to I sure you want to get a charty man?

741
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: Oh no, I like the smooth Lloyd. Okay, okay, and

742
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: push you a weight on it. That's what I was into. Joel,

743
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: what are we talking for you watching your hair? How

744
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: how often are we talking? And I have a d D.

745
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: I can barely keep track of what's happening moment to moment. Uh,

746
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: I know, I just feel it doesn't need to be watched,

747
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: is it? Girls? I would say probably, I would never

748
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: let more than two weeks go by the same. Yeah,

749
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: But I got like I got that, Like I got

750
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: like a conditioner situation. So I like, I wash it

751
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: and then I leave the conditioner and oh, yeah, you

752
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 1: got to That's how you got it, like really set

753
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: in cooking there and you wrap it up in the

754
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: towels so you get the heat in there. Then you

755
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: do like frants. I just wash it and rinse it

756
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: and then put the conditioner in and rinse that out

757
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: and I go about my day. But you don't use

758
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: a two in one. I could see being a two

759
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: in one I have, I don't do it currently, But

760
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: don't use the three in one though. That's the is

761
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,080
