But so many of us, 56 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: I think, are afraid to say it out loud because 57 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: of what it's It might imply about our own lives, 58 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: about the things that we would lose in our own experiences. 59 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: But you said, my mama told me fast food restaurants 60 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: are strategically placed in the hood to keep black people 61 00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: complacent and kill them at a faster rate. Absolutely, it's 62 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: without a doubt true.

Yeah, 65 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: gun stores at Chappelle's joke goes, everybody knows that.

It's not 68 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: even just the placement of them, it's the removal of 69 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: all other options that makes it so fucking tyrannical, where 70 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: it's like, god, damn, I can't eat nothing but mc nuggets.

So we were like, I got to 91 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: see what you know, restaurants are everything.

This is something else. Then Bennigan's was the 98 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: height of luxury when I was like, you know, throughout childhood, 99 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: and you know, I was trying to explain to someone 100 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: the other day is ruby Tuesdays yeah, yeah. I used 101 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: to think Ruby Tuesday was like the fucking hell yeah, 102 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: if you got if we got to go there, this 103 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: is a big deal. They had like a more like 104 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: uh sexy salad bar than the other like Fast Foo 105 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: or whatever, those buffet styles and their fast food that 106 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: was on like the the promo items that they had, 107 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: like look at our salad bar.

It was I added as 110 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: an adult. Me and Mike Lawrence went we both had 111 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: this job on some pilot that didn't go through obviously, 112 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: and you know pilots don't go through for comedy Uh, 113 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: it's weird that they just keep coming up in failed projects. 114 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: It's almost like there's a there's a theme here. I 115 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: wonder what could be the issue? Well, there's no way 116 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: to unpack that. This Conspiracy Theory podcast could never figure 117 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: out what's happening with these Comedy Central projects that they 118 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: always go halfway and then like, man, what happened? We 119 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: were having fun, but that was one of those shows 120 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: where I was like, yeah, we're having fun, but we 121 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: could kind of tell earlier in that one that we're like, 122 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: you know, this probably won't be a thing. So we 123 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: just started to take advantage of the lunch options around there, 124 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: and it was like red Lobster, Ruby Tuesdays and like 125 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the counter, the burger spot, it's delicious. Yeah, it was 126 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: like we were in Times Square basically, so we went 127 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: to the Times Square Tuesdays. Wait a minute, Okay, that's 128 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: that needed its own context, because that's that is not 129 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: the same thing as going to the counter in any 130 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: other situation or the Red Lobster in any other situation. 131 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: The for those of you that have not experienced the 132 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: Times Square at it's I guess that it's always But 133 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: Times Square is is mayhem and chaos of nothing. But 134 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: people who don't know how to be outside like public 135 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: and all can sort of like meeting in a singular 136 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: place to like destroy the goodness of America and American values. 137 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean that's true. We've all done shows that Caroline's 138 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: the audience. They could be great, but they can also 139 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: be a reflection of the neighborhood sometimes. Yeah, but it 140 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: is like, yeah, it's it's a dance. There used to 141 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: be students over there, which is weird. It doesn't even 142 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: look like it now. It used to be the prositudes. 143 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: They just don't post up anymore. They walk they wear 144 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: Spiderman outfits. Right, yeah, it's a it's a proses who 145 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: dressed up like Dora the Explorer. But you just gotta know, 146 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: if you tap on the skull twice, she'll take that off. 147 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: You should take something else off too. She looks like, oh, 148 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: that's terrible. You finished the joke on this show. You 149 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: finished the goddamn joke on this show.

Okay. 152 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: So you you start noticing sort of this trend the 153 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: fast food restaurants, I know, in in your initials sort 154 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: of like theorizing or a conversation about this. You had 155 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: a theory about certain restaurants in particular, you felt like 156 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: some of them were more criminal than others in their 157 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: in their behavior. Absolutely, and uh one in particular because 158 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: so my aunt, my great aunt used to live on 159 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: Stony Island sixties six. So we go around there and 160 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: I see the food options and there's like, you know, 161 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: there's Docks, which is like a small fast food restaurant, 162 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: fish place, and then there's like a b J's and stuff, 163 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: and like you know that's actually new, but back then 164 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: it was something else. But they're there's stuff around their 165 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: heralds and ship that you're like, this is good fast food. 166 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: But then it's the same thing, like the same exact 167 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: restaurant that is so close to Morehouse, Spellman and clark 168 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: Land University in Atlanta that it became obvious it's criminal 169 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: is Popeye's, because like, why, first of all, why is papaeae? 170 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: Is that good? For one, sure, it's it's very clearly 171 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: delicious chicken. If it is chicken, it's it's clearly not 172 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: like you know, regular chicken. Yeah, And to that point, 173 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: you're light years ahead of your competitors, right, It's not 174 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: like KFC is is right on your tail. And so 175 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: you gotta constantly be working on these uh seasons, these 176 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: herbs and spices to make sure that you're you're able 177 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: to beat out KFC. Nobody fucking likes KFC. They're chickens 178 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: wet when it's supposed to be dry. It's nobody's a fan. 179 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: And then churches, churches tastes like the mistakes that that 180 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: KFC and Papae has made and then they just go 181 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: and pick it up in a big like a basket 182 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: and then bring it back to their restaurant. So your 183 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: competitors are out of the window. So why are you 184 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: working so hard to make this delicious chicken constantly? Like 185 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: up until this year. It's like you guys could have 186 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: taken a break, but you know, sandwich time, like what 187 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: you were already. Let's like, uh, Hussain Bolt being like, 188 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: let me get faster. It's like, come on, you beat it, man, 189 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: you beat the game. What do you need to keep 190 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: doing this for? I need to get ten seconds faster 191 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: than the next nigger. That's what I know. But especially 192 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: by Morehouse and uh, because the thing is they put 193 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: all HBCUs. Everybody knows it's in the hood, so you 194 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: know we're in the middle of the hood as well. 195 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, the some of they will 196 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: be some of the most powerful black people in the 197 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: world at some point. Right now, they're just broadcast other 198 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: parts of the country. Kamala, look at come on, look 199 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: at and then look at me products HBCUs. We are important. 200 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: We are the same. I inspire people. Yeah, what was 201 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: also a cop at one point, and uh takes a 202 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: lot of pride in it. Hey proud of being a prosecutor. 203 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: And I thought I was doing the good thing. But 204 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: but yeah, So it's one of the best food options 205 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: in that area by school, and it's where everybody always goes. 206 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they did the KFC scene in school days, 207 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: but it's really Popeyes like that CANFC is the other way, 208 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: but it's it's also not very good. The red beans 209 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: and rice, great fucking mashed potatoes with the Cajun gravy. 210 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: First of all, who doesn't love New Orleans. Everybodys New 211 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: Orleans unless New Orleans has never heard anybody know the hoodoos. 212 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: It's got nothing but curses and buddhoo. But everyone's like, yo, 213 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go every day every year. Who am I 214 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: to miss out on the opportunity to be cursed by 215 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: a strange lady. So I will say that that I 216 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: think I don't know that I grew up thinking that 217 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: pop Eyes was the most uh egregious offender of of 218 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: like sort of attacking black people. But I also think 219 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: that that's such a regional thing that to your point, 220 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: you're like referencing all these you know colleges, like the 221 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: black colleges that you're you're aware of, and so you're 222 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: sort of like tracking it that way. And for me, 223 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: it was like McDonald's was everywhere. It was like literally 224 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: every direction I turned in White Castle, it was McDonald's 225 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: and White Castle when I was a kid that like 226 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: you you couldn't go without seeing a white castle in 227 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: the hood, that there was a white castle there. Well, 228 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: and where we're from in the Midwestern Star. Yeah, but 229 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: I think it is, uh, what's so crazy? A McDonald's 230 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: was so open about it. I felt like automatically they're 231 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: showing all their cards. Yeah, like you know, it's hip 232 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: hop in the commercials. It's black people only in the commercials, 233 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: Like you're you're very clearly targeting to die early because 234 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: of it. But Popeye's be so like subtle because I 235 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: don't even remember commercially as a kid too much. Like 236 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: maybe they had I know, they had the music, Yeah 237 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: I love that chicken from Popeyes. Great song, come on, 238 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: that's a good song. And they had the they had 239 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: that second line beat in again, like yeah, I fucking 240 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: do love the chicken from Popeyes. It's so secretive, that's 241 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: why because they're just like selling New Orleans. But really 242 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. They're selling that chicken. They're 243 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: telling that chicken. And then yes, and I guess I'm wondering, 244 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: what do you think specifically is their plan here? Like 245 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: walk me through the actual like maniacal steps that are 246 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: transpiring in placing the Popeyes there and presenting it to 247 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: black people through song and dance. And it even sounds 248 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: worse now that you say like that. Yeah, I didn't 249 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: help the situation at all. By the way, Popeye', I 250 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: still would do a commercial for you any day. I'll 251 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: I'll bite this ship out of a biscuit right now. 252 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: Send it here, I'll bite. We've been known to h 253 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: sponsored um videos, so look and if it pays, I'll 254 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah. We we did a sponsored ad for 255 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: Old Spice. I don't use that ship, but I'll pretend. 256 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: I will pretend. Immediately for that check, I was like, hell, yes, 257 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: I will wear it today. And I didn't wear it 258 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: that day. I just I haven't worn it in twenty years. 259 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: Great add though, check it out. It's Yeah, But no, 260 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: I think it goes so far back for this because 261 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: I think I brought up to the Black Panthers did 262 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: all that work to provide food for the hood and 263 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: it they've had so much donations and everything. They provided 264 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: food for beyond the hood as well. They like went 265 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: around so it became like more of a look at 266 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: how we can live. Yeah. People are always talking about 267 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: like communism is bad and all that stuff, and it 268 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: is sure in some cases, but the way they figured 269 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: that part out, like socialism with food shouldn't even be argued. 270 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, why not. What what are we doing 271 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: where some people live longer and some people don't because 272 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: of the food options they have. So I think it's 273 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: the government has been designed. I don't know if it's 274 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: they're so open with it, but it's been designed for 275 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: years to keep one set of people down, which is us. 276 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: I like that you think the white listeners are at 277 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: home and you're like, maybe it's me. Maybe, okay, I'll 278 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: hear about if you're If you're white and poor, you 279 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: get strays, But it's not to say you're you're also 280 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: the target. You just don't know it and sometimes are 281 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: tricked into believing you're not the target exactly. But I 282 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: think so that that always stuck out to me learning 283 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: that about the Black Panthers, like and the fact that 284 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: they got shut down very soon after they started reaching, 285 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: not shut down, murdered and uh murdered and vilified, so 286 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: they that that was shortly after they started reaching beyond 287 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: just the hood and as far as providing meals, right, yeah, 288 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: I mean to your larger point. One of the things 289 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: that people often point out was, like the finishing touch 290 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: of like the Black Panthers was their free food program. 291 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: Like they weren't angry at the idea of these guys. 292 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: They pretended to be, but they weren't genuinely angry about 293 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: these guys carrying weapons. They weren't actually afraid of this 294 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: organization and their threat to overthrow the government. They genuinely 295 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: were afraid of the idea of some version of egalitarian 296 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: resources being spread throughout you know, black and underprivileged communities, 297 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: which meant that like, all right, we gotta shut this 298 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: down because that fox up the algorithm that we we 299 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: can't keep people in place the way we want to 300 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: if their bellies are full. Yeah, and if you give 301 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: most people have stock in McDonald's, it's like no, no, noo, 302 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: get these things out of here, like yeah, yeah, and okay, 303 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: I like what you're saying that this isn't even just 304 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: like some because sometimes I think we blame things on 305 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: the government, and it's more specific than that. And I 306 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: think what you're suggesting is it's corporate America recognizing that like, 307 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: oh ship, my McDonald's stock will drop if everywhere they 308 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: start replicating free food programs, I won't have McDonald's breakfast 309 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: to sell anymore, which means I gotta kill, uh, you know, 310 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: three really powerful black men and then make the rest 311 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: of them go to jail or go crazy or like 312 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: weird the weirdest congressman. Yeah exactly. But yeah, it's like 313 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: it's so targeted in that respect that it's like man, 314 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: and because they have these business models and structures set 315 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: up for expectations. So McDonald's has the structure set up 316 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: where it's like, so this means usburgers at this price, 317 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: then my stock grows. All that center set up for ages. 318 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: So then this that little thing can throw all that off. 319 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: The little bit of like egalitarian resources can throw that 320 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: off so much.

Okay, 358 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: this thing that I've I've mostly been leaning on because 359 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: I didn't have any money, because it's all I knew, 360 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: or because I you know, I wasn't taught that there 361 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: were other options.

Yeah, And it makes a lot of us 372 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: be the you know, we're all different versions of the 373 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: I got out, but it's like, you know, you gotta 374 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: take more pages from people like Nipsey and be like 375 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: I got out, but I could be helping out. Yeah, 376 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: a lot of lot of I mean, especially when you 377 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: go when you lead more conservative, I guess you're you're 378 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: less likely to be like, also, let me go back 379 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: and help. But right, Yeah, it does become like this 380 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: weird game of uh, I got out, and now do 381 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: I have any responsibility to help get other people out? 382 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: Or do I just stay the funk out and enjoy 383 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: my new life that that doesn't involve McDonald's. Vince Staples 384 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: as this uh I was telling somebody about it actually recently, 385 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: but like Vince Staples, did this interview that sticks with 386 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: me where he talked about how him and his family 387 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: were so poor when he was growing up that they 388 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: used to have to just split like a sandwich off 389 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: the dollar menu every day. They're like, that's all they 390 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: would eat. Was like they cut like a hamburger in half, 391 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: or cut a chicken mick chicken and half, whatever it was, 392 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: and they would just eat that. And he said that 393 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: now as an adult, his like body doesn't work the 394 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: way it's supposed to, that like he can't do certain things, 395 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: and physically he has pain in places, and he attributes 396 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: that to how much of his his youth was in 397 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: strictly eating McDonald's. And so it's like, fuck, you know 398 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like maybe some of them, yeah, some 399 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: of it is just like doing permanent damage to us, 400 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: and there's nothing we can do about it because of 401 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: the system that's been set up. And they wonder why 402 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: he's killed people, you know, allegedly allegedly, but I mean 403 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: hand to murder people if he can't touch his toes 404 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: because all those chickens.

It's pretty crazy 429 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: to be inspired by six eight muscular nat Wait in 430 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: your mind, Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure everybody over six 431 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: ft is six eight. Kobe's like six and one, and 432 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: you're like six seven man, especially you got that garden now. 433 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: But I mean, like him, Ron Finley out here in 434 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: l a Uh, he lives out for the West and 435 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: he's got a carden over there, these community gardens. And 436 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: if you watch Roy Choi show on Taste Made, there's 437 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: this black woman who started this program where she goes 438 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: and gets the veggies and shipped from these farmers markets, 439 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: and like she gets the leftovers kind of is what 440 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: it is. But she brings that to the hood for free, 441 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: so she'll get the left over like lettuces, but it's 442 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: a shipload of lettuce and all the other like different 443 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: fruits and veggies and brings that and has like her 444 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: own farmer's market about everything is free. Yeah, I mean 445 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: to that, and I imagine this is what it comes 446 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: out of, is restaurants throw away like literally tons and 447 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: tons of produce and food and and stuff every day 448 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: because they technically, you know, because of regulations, aren't allowed 449 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: to keep things nearly as long as it seems reasonable 450 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: to be able to keep things. And so to that point, 451 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, if there's a way that we can create 452 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: a space like what you're describing where that food that 453 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: otherwise would be thrown into a trash can and wasted 454 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: could now be helping to not only feed people but 455 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: nourish them in a better way. We're moving in the 456 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: right direction. And it shouldn't just like these people always 457 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: are the stories, but I feel like it should be 458 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: so um out there that there's no it's not like 459 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: a story, like, you know, the same way the first 460 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: black everything is kind of it's awful if you really 461 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: think about it, it's like we got the first black anything. 462 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: It's said. So it's like he needs to be permeated 463 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: everywhere so that it can no longer be like, oh, 464 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: look at check out this community garden. It should just 465 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, everybody, every community has a community garden 466 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: where you can go for free and feed, Like if 467 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: Vin Staples had had that growing I think about the 468 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: type of person ind I mean, he's actually he's he's 469 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: very nice, it seems, and he's he's funny as ship. 470 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: But I'm just talking about like, you know, his he 471 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't have had to experience all the things he experienced. 472 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: Maybe if he would, Yeah, maybe he wouldn't have murdered people. 473 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: At least all of his friends did. So, Yeah, maybe 474 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: maybe there's a space where that person can still be 475 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: as charming and hilarious and talented as he is while 476 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: sigmultaneously not having to go through uh trauma to get there. Yeah. 477 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: Exactly a lot of us too. I mean, so many 478 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: of us have the similar experience. So it's like, yeah, 479 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: let's what if we didn't like even just being trained 480 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: to eat McDonald's the way we were, because people gotta 481 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: remember we're older than supersize me. And I feel like 482 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: that's when people started to veer away from fast food 483 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: or be like fast food is bad. Before that, I 484 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: had never heard anyone say fast food was bad. No, 485 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: I mean they literally had to get rid of the 486 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: super sized side of fries because they were like, all right, 487 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: they got us, they caught okay, you got us this 488 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: time American consumer. But we'll be back. Maybe we'll make 489 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: the large a little bigger than it was. That way, 490 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: we'll start introducing an extra small cup. It's like, I 491 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: know what you're doing. There's no extra small, the largest huge. Okay, 492 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: let's let's unpack some of this research, because I think 493 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: it's a bit of an interesting entrance. But as I 494 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: was sort of like looking into the history of fast 495 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,239 Speaker 1: food in this country, the thing that that made for 496 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: at least a grounded entrance for this conversation actually ended 497 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: up being the Watts Rights. I don't know how much 498 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: you know about the Watts Riots, but it was sparked 499 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: by this dude, Marquette Fry, who was basically pulled over 500 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: for drunk driving by the police, right, which was like 501 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: meant to be like this minor roadside argument that broke out. 502 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: It ended up turning and escalating into like a full 503 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: on fight with the police. Right. But you know, I 504 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: assume he got his ass kicked. But that's not like 505 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: a new story in America, right, black man getting beat 506 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: up by the police, not then, not now, tail as 507 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: old as time. But what what ended up happening was 508 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: a bunch of community members who were either witnesses or 509 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: uh tangential to this this incident basically started spreading a 510 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: rumor that the police had heard a pregnant woman that 511 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: like Marquette, he basically had transformed in that game of 512 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: telephone into a pregnant woman, which we launched the community 513 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: into like a civil war of like six days of 514 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: complete unrest. Damn. I mean I did not know all that. Yeah, 515 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: it's apparently it's all just a rumor that turned the 516 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: whole thing into uh complete chaos. Chaos that basically lead 517 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: lead to thirty four people getting killed, uh forty million 518 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: dollars in property damage, and then the National Guard needing 519 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: to be called in to uh eventually like bring calm 520 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: to this whole situation. And so what that ended up. 521 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: What I learned from all of this, right is that, uh, 522 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: what everybody experts sort of say about the Watts riots 523 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: is that it wasn't actually the incident itself that led 524 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,239 Speaker 1: to it, right, it was more reflection of all the 525 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: bullshit that this neighborhood had been suffering through for a 526 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: long time. That like, at this point in history, two 527 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: thirds of Watts residents had less than a high school education. 528 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: Two thirds and one eighth of that group was totally illiterate, 529 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: and similarly, it was only the only major city. L 530 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: A was the only major city without an anti poverty program, 531 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: and the mayor also refused a confidential offer of federal 532 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: money meant for jobs programs. So he's full on refusing 533 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: to help like major groups of his own city, even 534 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: though every other city in America had already adopted these 535 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: new programs to help, you know, these underprivileged communities. Good 536 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: God trash palace. Yes, l A apparently has a rich 537 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: history of being real mean to uh it's black residents. 538 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: But so from that, and this is where we get 539 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: into the fast food of it all. In nineteen sixty five, 540 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: President Lyndon Johnson basically like uh, in the wake of 541 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: the riots, sends these officials from the Small Business Administration 542 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: of California or to California, rather from the SBA to California, 543 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 1: saying that they need to eliminate the deep seated causes 544 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: of the riots. So he's saying like, I need you 545 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: all to go in there and figure out what caused 546 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: these riots on a more like grand uh, you know, 547 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: community level, and I need you all to get rid 548 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: of whatever that is. I need you to figure out 549 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 1: how to solve this problem so that riots like these 550 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: don't break out again. And what the SBA people do 551 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: is they come up with this conference in nineteen sixty 552 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: eight where they encourage black people to basically discover business 553 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: ownership through franchising and specifically through franchising in fast food. Thus, 554 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: he introduces fast food chains as like a permanent staple 555 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: not only black communities, but black business ownership as like 556 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: your way out of poverty and loss and re you know, 557 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: limited resources and ship it's just keeping it going because 558 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: in there and what their mind is probably going, and 559 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: in there what they would call defense, you are going 560 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: to definitely make money putting fast food, and in it's like, yeah, 561 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna be so rich and you're gonna be able 562 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 1: to spread that well, but for what at what cost? Yeah? 563 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: And and even to take that a step further, right, 564 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna be a certain type of wealthy compared to 565 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: what you were, But you're not actually going to be 566 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: rich if you own a McDonald's. Right, you franchise and McDonald's, 567 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: but there's people who run McDonald's who corporate for McDonald's 568 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: is fucking they're making stacks every time a franchise opens, 569 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: nobody takes the loss on the McDonald's side of things. 570 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: It's the the individuals who are in charge of the 571 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: McDonald's that might potentially lose in this scenario, so McDonald's wins. Meanwhile, 572 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: these communities are basically being just stuffed. Yeah, toxic chemicals, 573 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: nutritional facts, yeah, exactly. So it goes even further because 574 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: the Office of Minority Business Enterprise, established in nineteen nine, 575 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: aimed specifically to establish ten thousand new minority franchises over 576 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: two years. And technically this program was open to different sectors, 577 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: meaning like you could have franchised some ship that wasn't 578 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: food related, but in reality, black franchises were more likely 579 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: to be in fast food than any other franchising sector. 580 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: So they like really pushed black people into the fast 581 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: foods that like sector of things. They knew what they 582 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: were doing at that point. It's like at first we're like, yeah, 583 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: but look at what we'll do for your community. But 584 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 1: now it's like and also we do want to kill 585 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: you guys. Yes, we're not into being here so much. 586 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: So also take this scrap food again. Yeah, it's four 587 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: years later, y'all are calm now now I'm gonna kill you. 588 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: Here's where it gets even more sinister. In this part 589 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know this is. I mean, I didn't know 590 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: a lot of this, but this part really like blew 591 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: my fucking mind. Is that based off of research, it's 592 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: basically been proven that pound for pound, in nineteen sixty five, 593 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: the dietary surveys revealed that African Americans were more likely 594 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: than their white counterparts of the same like wealth level, 595 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: right to meet dietary recommendations for fat, fiber, fruits and vegetables. 596 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: So in nineteen sixty five, black people are in fact 597 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: eating healthier than their white counterparts, and then when they 598 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: compare those same uh groups in nine by nineteen ninety six, 599 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: the opposite was true. That like we had completely flipped 600 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: positions because of the introduction of fast food, sort of 601 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: like overpopulation of fast food and black neighborhoods. Come on, man, 602 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: make a joke. It's funny, man, that's hilarious. Come on, man, 603 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: make the hurting stuff. Yeah, good god man. Yeah, yeah, 604 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: that's uh. It goes so far deep into it. I 605 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: mean yeah, because that's that's why we need to go 606 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 1: back to that ship, because I feel like that before 607 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 1: that it was gardens and ship going on. I mean 608 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: it had to be in l A. L A's perfect 609 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: weather to grow gardens and to think about how many 610 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: people have nice yards here. It's the whole reason. Everybody 611 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: from not l A is always like why are you guys? 612 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: You know mad? Yeah, you've got great weather and amazing 613 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: uh yard space. Every it in l A. Even the 614 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: murderers speak properly like it's it's you just got time 615 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: to be a peaceful person before you Gilibert, you know 616 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it's it's a different energy here. 617 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: But I do think to the greater point, I think 618 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: it's it's two things, right. I think it's twofold. I 619 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: think community gardens probably existed. I think there was some 620 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: version of sort of like communal feeding and eating all happening. 621 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 1: But then on top of that, I think you just 622 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: have much more control over what you're actually taking in 623 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: when you're not eating fast food. Yeah, like you're cooking. 624 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: If I'm cooking, even if I overseason my food, it's 625 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: still is probably healthier for me. Then if I go 626 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: to McDonald's where they are using chemicals to fry something 627 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: faster or make it puff up in a way that 628 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: like humans aren't really supposed to consume, but it looks 629 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: good for the eye and the picture and makes it 630 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: feel like the meal that it's supposed to be, and 631 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: which is especially true of chickens, by the way, which 632 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: is part of my issues with the chicken restaurants. But 633 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, those breasts are not that big, hey, 634 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: and I love a big titty. That's not it was 635 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: titties things supposed to be that big. No, not that 636 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: many too. You ever had like real chickens, Like, damn, 637 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: I wish I had for me because I'm used to pope. Right, yeah, 638 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: real chickens are there's barely anything there. Yeah, even like 639 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: a Roscoe's. You're like, this looks like not a lot 640 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: of food, but it's like, no, this is actual chicken 641 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: nutt Yeah right. These wings are not radiated like some 642 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: Frankenstein of a monster that you then like cut up 643 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: and put into a nugget. This is real meat and 644 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: it's all It's all happened for me too, because like 645 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: back in the day, the habit was to cook your 646 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: own ship, and the habit was like, you know, because 647 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: nobody has time, and I know, poverty ran rampant after 648 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: a little bit country hit like these these downs. But 649 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: it's like that that probably played into the fast food 650 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: even more because now you're like, yo, in order to 651 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: make enough money, I need more time. I don't have 652 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: the time. I'll cut the time that I cook. So 653 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: fast food works, yes, And I think it it happened 654 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: exactly like that. I think fast food became this thing 655 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: that people promoted as a way of basically helping to 656 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: feed your family in an effective way if you're a 657 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: working class person. But then on top of that, they 658 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: created this sort of image of black ownership in their 659 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 1: own communities. Up up until that point, black people are 660 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 1: sort of like oppositional a and that's sort of a 661 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: soft way of putting it, of white people coming into 662 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 1: their communities and building like, you know, businesses and fanchisees 663 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: that they were basically like at times even boycott the 664 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 1: idea of like a white person coming in and creating 665 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: some ship. And so what these corporations figure out is like, no, 666 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: we'll let black people own them and then we'll collect 667 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 1: the bigger profit from it while they simultaneously killed themselves. 668 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,439 Speaker 1: It's it's a perfect sort of magic trick of like 669 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: murder and they wonder why, like black people still skeptical 670 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: of the government when it's like we've every every gift, 671 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: it has the worst other side. Yes, the gift of 672 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: all this black ownership has the darkest dark side ever 673 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: in terms of how it's affecting my entire community. Like 674 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: this small community of people who gets these businesses, that's, uh, 675 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: that's great. And then it's like it's inspirational and it 676 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: helps in a lot of ways, but it's also like, 677 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: but look at the overall communities gonna hurt for generations 678 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: now exactly. And I think that is important for our 679 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: listeners to understand because I do sometimes think I've had 680 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: a few white listeners sort of pushed back at at 681 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: how much I blame the white devil for everything that's happening. 682 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: And I think it's important to understand that it's not 683 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: me saying that. Like when Lyndon Johnson goes and says, hey, fix, 684 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: what's how opening in this community, he is in fact, 685 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: like sitting back twiddling his fingers together, like and murder 686 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: them all. I don't think that that's how that worked. 687 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 1: I think, uh, to the the earlier point that we 688 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: made is he went and said, hey, can you fix that, 689 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: and maybe we can give a gift of some kind 690 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 1: to help resolve this problem. And then corporations get involved, 691 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: money gets involved in those gifts, and it starts to 692 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: be an effort to cook the gift into profit, and 693 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: that's where murder and mayhem and sort of like the 694 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: dastardly deeds come to be. That even goes over to 695 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,760 Speaker 1: like police because then it used to be community policing, 696 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: and then they were like, here's the gift of mark 697 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,479 Speaker 1: police to like help you feel comfortable. Also, they're gonna 698 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: come from a completely different area where they don't even 699 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 1: have people look like you. Their first thought is your danger, 700 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: no matter what you look like exactly. And we we 701 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: aren't going to do any version of vetting to see 702 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: if they have any sensitivity to the community that we're 703 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 1: not placing them in. We'll just put them in there, 704 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 1: and you'll feel better because we put more police. And 705 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: maybe that instinct was coming from a good place, but 706 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: it's so blind to the actual needs of this community 707 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,240 Speaker 1: that you're actually putting in a fucking poison. You're putting 708 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: in something that's gonna make things worse that and that's 709 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: the entire Crime Bill and Nuts Show. Yeah, you know Biden, Biden, 710 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: all that crew there, this is a good thing. Then 711 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: it's like, but it's not because but you don't know 712 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,479 Speaker 1: that because you're an old white man. Even then, because 713 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,879 Speaker 1: I listen, I like police, I like sniff and hair. 714 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: How can we can bind the two? How can I 715 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: help black people feel more comfortable so that they can 716 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,720 Speaker 1: sniff hair and the communities. That's why it's that gifts 717 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,720 Speaker 1: of like, here's the gifts, and it's like black people's 718 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 1: response every time, it's okay, yeah, right, you're not excited, No, no, no, 719 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm taking it with a grain of song, like, yeah, 720 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,879 Speaker 1: here's a gif. You have the first black president. Okay, okay, 721 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be far worse in eight years. So 722 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 1: so here's where I think to that point, the gifts 723 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: sort of like loses control and becomes just sinister. Right 724 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: is that by According to research, McDonald's, Burger King and 725 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: Wendy's dedicated one fifth, one fifth of their radio and 726 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: television advertising budget to black audiences. Wow, yeah that was noticeable. 727 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's when you see him Breakdancy Chick and 728 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:40,240 Speaker 1: when I started hearing hip hop McDonald's dads. I was like, changed, right, bitch, 729 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: how karate kick for some price? And it was like, 730 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: all right, man, this ain't as now what we signed up. 731 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,840 Speaker 1: But one we make up of the American population and 732 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:56,320 Speaker 1: you're dedicating of your advertising to us. That's there's something 733 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: fucked up here. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. It goes even 734 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,800 Speaker 1: and further than In two thousand twelve, a Yale study 735 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,800 Speaker 1: found this is a Yale University, This ain't Yale Community College. 736 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: Two thousand twelve Yale University study found that the fast 737 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:16,280 Speaker 1: food industry disproportionately target Black and Latino children and it's advertising. 738 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: So not only are y'all going for the grown folks, 739 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: you're going for the fucking kids at a disproportionate rate 740 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,879 Speaker 1: because to your point, these restaurants are the only things 741 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: available and subsequently the thing that they know they can 742 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: profit the most from. Exactly why do you think that 743 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: door explorer campaign from Donald's was so big? They knew 744 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: what they were doing, right, all right, if she's gonna 745 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: be their representation, we're gonna make some uh barbecue sauce 746 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 1: into that and see what happens. I also feel like, 747 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, that's uh like the first hip hop ads 748 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: with like actual rappers. I feel like they were McDonald's 749 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: or some sort of fast food where you're like, oh 750 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 1: that ship they got fucking because you're excited, like you 751 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: think this guy they're actually listening to what the community 752 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: wants putting uh, this rapper in the commercial. But really 753 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, we've some money in that far. We 754 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: don't care you think you fucking push your team made. 755 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm loving it, like yeah, I have to. They didn't 756 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: hand him and Arby's. By the way, Push your t 757 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:27,720 Speaker 1: is the is the his song is both the Arby's theme. Yeah, 758 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 1: it's a song by like somebody named Bower or some 759 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 1: ship and pushed the featuring push the Tea. So he 760 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: gets and but he's he's my favorite rapper businessman because 761 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: he's that's such low key money. That's my favorite. Oh no, 762 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 1: he didn't get paid shipped off that off of what 763 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 1: McDonald McDonald, but Arby gets paid I think because he 764 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: doesn't see any residuals on McDonald's. I know that for 765 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,759 Speaker 1: a fact. That's real fun. They basically offered him like 766 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 1: a one time check, all right, but it was like 767 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: two million bucks or something, which no you're thinking of 768 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: Jason Weaver and The Lion King where they offered him 769 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 1: a million dollars or some investment in the film and 770 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: he picked the investment because his mom was like smart 771 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,799 Speaker 1: and figured out. But no, push your tea like got 772 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 1: like sixty grand. And uh, that's why I keeps cussing 773 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 1: out Drake. Yeah, No, I put in work and you 774 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,879 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna let some light skin bitch make fun 775 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: of me. No, the funk out of here, Drizzy, call 776 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: your son Feta McDonald, you bitch. That's my favorite beef 777 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 1: because Drake keeps trying to put out records that are 778 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,320 Speaker 1: like pushy, you didn't really drug deal, and nobody's listening 779 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: to them because they're like I've seen pushing tea that 780 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: naked drug deal, right, he got straight back braids to 781 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 1: this day that you know, I'm not buying your lives, Drake, 782 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: thinking of receipts, and that's still be like, I don't 783 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: think so we're seeing your white baby, Drake. This ain't that. 784 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 1: So the last thing that I'll say about all of this, 785 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: and this I think goes to the larger point and 786 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,919 Speaker 1: the larger issue that I think a lot of people 787 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 1: are currently facing and I think we'd be remiss to 788 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 1: have this conversation without bringing it up. But food deserts. So, 789 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 1: food deserts are a huge reason that these fast food 790 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,440 Speaker 1: restaurants end up being the only resource that these people have, 791 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 1: because many people at home might be saying, well, why 792 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: the funk won't you just go to the grocery store 793 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 1: and cook food? And the reality is is that the 794 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: Department of Agriculture reported that in two thousand and ten, 795 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: at twenty three point five million people in the US 796 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: live in food deserts. Twenty three point five million people, 797 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 1: meaning five million that they live more than one mile 798 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,359 Speaker 1: from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas, and more 799 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: than ten miles from a supermarket in rural areas. Jesus Christ, 800 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 1: that's mean, yeah, because you're not walking to anywhere past 801 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 1: the mile anyway, all right, how could you if you 802 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 1: have to feed a full family, how could you carry 803 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,799 Speaker 1: those groceries back that far? Yeah? Yeah, And if you're 804 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: ten miles away, fuck it, Yeah, you ain't saying nothing. 805 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 1: If you're ten miles away. I don't even know what 806 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: your life is like. In a city, you're always one 807 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 1: to two miles away. But I mean it's like, yeah, 808 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 1: you probably drive down the country roads and I have 809 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,240 Speaker 1: no clue what your whole life. I don't I couldn't 810 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 1: even imagine. And then to your earlier points sort of 811 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,800 Speaker 1: about like the the black panthers of it all. This Also, 812 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,759 Speaker 1: these food deserts also refer to food pantries, which is 813 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 1: basically like something that's government funded to help provide food 814 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: for the population. But those pantries are based on population density, 815 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: which means that the people in rural areas are even 816 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 1: less likely to live near any kind of resource to 817 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,800 Speaker 1: help them because of you know, the amount of people 818 00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,439 Speaker 1: that live in their community. Yeah, yeah, you can figure 819 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: out I got the best things available. It's like, well yeah, 820 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 1: but it's yeah, all right, we're gonna take another break. 821 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 1: We'll be back with more will miles and more, my 822 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: mama told me. And we are back. How are you 823 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: helped me too much? Yeah, we're back here. We're more 824 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 1: will miles more of my mama told me. We're still 825 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 1: talking about food, desserts and poverty and delicious delicious McDonald's 826 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,360 Speaker 1: was what was that quote that I don't know? Welcome 827 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:49,320 Speaker 1: back that voice. Sometimes I just scoured the internet for 828 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: things that made me laugh. And it was a man 829 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 1: uh talking about too much drowning and it just cracks 830 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 1: me up. So I was like, that's gonna be a 831 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 1: drop for me. That's gonna do it for your boy. 832 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into this game. I have a 833 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: brand new game that I would like to introduce today, 834 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,320 Speaker 1: and this game is called Langston's Mother in Law. Tania 835 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 1: tells a story about her alien encounter. Mother. It's a 836 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 1: great game where I'm going to play a clip from 837 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: my mother in law Tanya, and I would just love 838 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 1: to get your reactions as she tells her story of 839 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 1: a time where she and her sister encountered what they 840 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: believed to be an alien spacecraft. I love it already. 841 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,759 Speaker 1: Hell yeah, here we go. This was in late two 842 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: thousand three. Sharon and I were having the house is 843 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 1: built and we were coming to look at the progress 844 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,839 Speaker 1: of the house of my house at this time. So 845 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 1: we go across the other side of street to see 846 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 1: those houses and see how that neighborhood is coming along. 847 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: And coming back across the street, we're stopped at the 848 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 1: corner and as we're sitting there and I am in 849 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: a Honda Accord and I'm talking to Sharon. She's in 850 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 1: the passenger seat. I'm talking to her, and she says 851 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 1: to me. Look, she says, look, I look out my 852 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 1: driver's side window, and there is, for lack of a 853 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:35,359 Speaker 1: better description, a silver, grayish object alongside my car, right 854 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 1: out my window. Right I can look at it. It's 855 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,960 Speaker 1: right there. All right, that's the first clip. What are 856 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: your thoughts? How are you feeling after hearing that? Who 857 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 1: is Sharon? What's sharing on? Trying to hear more about sharing? 858 00:53:53,960 --> 00:54:02,200 Speaker 1: I ain't never seen no other Sharon. That's kind of true. 859 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. It sounds like she really actually Well, 860 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 1: first of all, where is this is this? Ay? This 861 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 1: isn't like the suburbs of Baltimore. That's what I was 862 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,359 Speaker 1: gonna say. It has to be a place where it's 863 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 1: not what even Baltimore is a place where they won't 864 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: believe you if you say you saw aliens. So that 865 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 1: plays a big part in this, Yes, like absolutely, That's 866 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,239 Speaker 1: why all the and Men and Black touches on this 867 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,839 Speaker 1: a little bit. That's why that you know documentary Men 868 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,839 Speaker 1: and Black, they covered this a bit, a little bit. 869 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 1: But that's why all the interviews they always saw in 870 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: the inquirers like this person on the farm, this person 871 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 1: and a place that's at that's uh, the government clearly 872 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 1: doesn't care about nobody has any idea what they live, 873 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 1: like nobody knew what anyone lived, like Baltimore and then 874 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:58,760 Speaker 1: where everybody's like I hated for you. I'm sorry. And 875 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,319 Speaker 1: to your point, as they were in sort of like 876 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,319 Speaker 1: the suburbs of Baltimore, and this specifically is like an 877 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: area that they were like building new homes in. Like 878 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: her sharing is her sister. They both got like some 879 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 1: of those new you know, properties built in the like 880 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 1: this area that the whole thing was just nothing for 881 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,319 Speaker 1: a while, and then they built up some houses. So 882 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,920 Speaker 1: to your point, is a pretty open empty space that 883 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: like you know, they're attempting to put land on. And 884 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 1: so maybe an alien would stop by here because ain't 885 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:36,319 Speaker 1: nothing else going on. I think it happens. Well, first 886 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 1: of all, let me say I'm a believer, So I 887 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,719 Speaker 1: think it happens. I think happened that clear from the 888 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,280 Speaker 1: first your first reaction, you are like this is stupid. 889 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,839 Speaker 1: You were like I'm listening, y yeah, yeah, uh yeah, 890 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 1: I think that's you know how Bill Murray supposedly we'll 891 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 1: like just see regular people and be enact like it's 892 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,080 Speaker 1: what's what's up it to me? And do some ship 893 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 1: and there. I think he always says like, no, what, 894 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: none of nobody's gonna believe that I didn't. Yeah, no 895 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 1: one to ever believe you, right, Like I had a 896 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 1: drink with Bill Murray literally where he told me the 897 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: clubs were gonna win next year, and they went next year. 898 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:15,320 Speaker 1: But it's one of those things where I was, yeah, 899 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:19,319 Speaker 1: I was out at a party. Bill Murray stumbled into 900 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 1: that party and and was like, I thought you you 901 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 1: would be giving an example you dead. This actually happened, 902 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 1: and holy sh it. But it's one of those stories 903 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: where I was first of all, I was drunk and 904 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 1: high and I and it was other. It was like 905 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 1: Donald Glover was there. It was a party of probably 906 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't without the possibility of Billing Right coming in. 907 00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,399 Speaker 1: I got but it didn't. But Donald Glover at the time, 908 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 1: it did not seem like, you know, this was before 909 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 1: Atlanta was big, so it was like maybe it had 910 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 1: just was still about to come up. So he was 911 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 1: making he was a little bit popular from rap, but 912 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 1: only in college towns. And so I was like he uh, 913 00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,279 Speaker 1: he was the biggest person there at the time, and 914 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 1: then maybe like some actors, it was somebody's birthday. But 915 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 1: then as Bill Murray walked in, all of us were 916 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:09,800 Speaker 1: looking like is that sucking Bill Murray? Everybody like push 917 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,640 Speaker 1: their hand in Donald's face, like is that is that 918 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 1: Bill Murray? What's he doing here? And I don't nobody 919 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,200 Speaker 1: really knows if he knew the birthday by or anything. 920 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,040 Speaker 1: Everybody I've talked to you afterwards he was there's like 921 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 1: he was there right and then he I saw him 922 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,280 Speaker 1: pull up and Jason Burke is a huge fan. So 923 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 1: Jason Burke went up like, let's get a drink with him, 924 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 1: and so I was there for that. So then we 925 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 1: grab a drink and I'm like, I cannot believe Bill 926 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 1: murders in front of me right now. And to your point, 927 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,560 Speaker 1: that's what those aliens might have been doing, setting up 928 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: next to their car being like bitchy, nobody gonna believe you, 929 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 1: and then zooming off. Ye yep, And I heard there's 930 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,439 Speaker 1: a lot of people who do like, uh, what else 931 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 1: does that? Somebody else famous probably lay it sounds like 932 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 1: some ship. Yeah, I've never heard it from Lucky but 933 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 1: it sounds like a very lucky ye kind of just 934 00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: pull up and we're like, nobody's gonna leave you, So 935 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: what's up? Hey? This? This is crazy that you saw me. 936 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 1: The aliens have been doing that probably for years. I 937 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 1: love and the people they check, it's always like, alright, truly, 938 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna leave you. So except I'm not saying that 939 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 1: about yours. I don't know that I believe it. Let's 940 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 1: play some more of this audio. Let's let's see what 941 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,920 Speaker 1: else you you take from it. It is level with 942 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 1: my car. It has no windows, and you don't hear 943 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,680 Speaker 1: a thing, and it's low enough. The front of it 944 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 1: that I see is like an oval shape, and before 945 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 1: I know it, it goes across the street. Now this 946 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,600 Speaker 1: time I can see fully it looks like a blom. 947 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 1: There are a few houses right at the corner. It 948 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 1: goes above those homes, and I'm saying this time, I said, 949 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 1: didn't think that's a air field back there, because behind 950 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,400 Speaker 1: her house it's a wooded area. And I said, I said, 951 00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,560 Speaker 1: do you think that's a landy strip over there? And 952 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 1: she said, follow it, yea, there's one more after this, 953 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: but that that's where she leaves off, how are you 954 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,440 Speaker 1: feeling how much of this are you? Uh? You feeling 955 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 1: like certain that this is an alien spacecraft? Now? Are 956 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 1: you more certain less certain? I feel like I'm a 957 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 1: little less certain, but I am certain that it is 958 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 1: if you go like the Roswalt tapes and all that stuff. 959 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,320 Speaker 1: You know, we've had access to aliens for a number 960 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: of years because they've been living here being studied. So 961 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 1: I do think there's those areas near military bases, and 962 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:38,840 Speaker 1: I believe there's one near Baltimore where they house aliens underground. Yeah, 963 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 1: for research. Mainly they just can't tell us yet, I 964 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 1: guess because we're supposed to panic. But I did hear 965 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,520 Speaker 1: that was why they made et also to be like 966 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 1: just let's see, let's gauge where it would be like 967 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 1: if we introduced an alien too the world like a 968 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 1: like a soft opening, like the Alien Restaurant, all these 969 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,480 Speaker 1: alien movie So they're like, all right, we've talked about it. 970 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Now when we tell you about the real ship, you 971 01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,880 Speaker 1: won't be like hyper ventilating. At the end, it was 972 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: like it's not coming out of left field, and it 973 01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,040 Speaker 1: was e t was to be like they could be friendly. 974 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 1: We don't know, but so in that conspiracy theory, Steven 975 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:21,680 Speaker 1: Spielberg is a consenting member of whatever party is is 976 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 1: introducing e T or is he just given a script 977 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 1: and then they're like, uh, make this but I'll tell 978 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: you why. I think it is a little bit of everything. 979 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how much he knew 980 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 1: when he was writing it. I don't know if it 981 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,800 Speaker 1: was a situation I'm finding out nowhere. Maybe it was 982 01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 1: an open writing assignment and they hired the government and 983 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 1: they were like, hey, we're gonna need an alien. Yeah. 984 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 1: I honestly it could be. I didn't know that was 985 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,440 Speaker 1: the thing until very recently. But I'm like, oh, sometimes 986 01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: they have the idea and you have to fill in 987 01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: the blanks. But I'm like, okay, So I wonder if 988 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,480 Speaker 1: that was a open writing assignment, Steven Spielberg took under 989 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: his belt and was like this would work, and uh so. 990 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how consenting he was in the process, 991 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,000 Speaker 1: but I do think, yeah, they the government probably paid 992 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: the film student to be like, of all the things 993 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 1: that are coming in right now, making alien, this is 994 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 1: priority number one type of yeah, yeah, I got you, 995 01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 1: I see where you so yeah, because that sounds like 996 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 1: one of those things that came from a base and 997 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,240 Speaker 1: was going like they were testing it out in the streets. Yeah, 998 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 1: in an area that was kind of vacant, so they 999 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: were like, yeah, let's see. Oh so wait, so in 1000 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 1: your mind, there's a possibility that aliens are not um 1001 01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 1: are not piloting this anymore, that this is like American 1002 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 1: soldiers or people piloting a thing that they've now taken 1003 01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 1: from alien visitors. I think that happens, and I think 1004 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 1: I also got that from X files where that might 1005 01:01:53,360 --> 01:02:02,000 Speaker 1: actually happen. Okay, another documentary. I love that. Okay, let's 1006 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 1: listen to this last clip and we'll see what where 1007 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 1: are you land on everything. It's really very quiet, but 1008 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:11,560 Speaker 1: windows are up, but that don't see any traffic or anything. 1009 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 1: So we go across the street try to catch this 1010 01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 1: thing as it goes over the houses. I have to 1011 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 1: follow the street and go around the curve to where 1012 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: it is. We see it go over the houses and 1013 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:28,680 Speaker 1: we get around. Then I'm I'm speeding around there and nothing, 1014 01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 1: it's gone. I drove behind the wooded area of the reserve. 1015 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,520 Speaker 1: I drove behind there to see if we can see anything. 1016 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 1: Because you can see behind the houses, there's no clear 1017 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:44,480 Speaker 1: area for something like that to land. First we were like, 1018 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 1: where what are you ready to go? If it's not 1019 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 1: back here ready to go because behind the wooded area 1020 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,760 Speaker 1: it's a street, it's a more home. So I guess 1021 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 1: it's just daring on this And then what else could 1022 01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:02,480 Speaker 1: it possibly be? It literally just a bigger that's it. 1023 01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:07,040 Speaker 1: That's wild thoughts. Where what are you feeling? Now? I 1024 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 1: feel more more into the idea that it could be 1025 01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 1: the government testing alien equipment. Yeah, I'm very Also, you 1026 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 1: gave big sunning law energy with the that is that 1027 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,280 Speaker 1: is a mother in law telling a story to her 1028 01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 1: son in law. For sure, I wanted her to be 1029 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 1: able to get it all out, but I also wanted 1030 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,040 Speaker 1: to beat the light and in patient as she's telling 1031 01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 1: the story. If it was any one of my friends, 1032 01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 1: all right, get to the meeting potentials, I gotta be 1033 01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:42,920 Speaker 1: a little more respectful. And she's a lovely woman, so 1034 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,440 Speaker 1: I would never want to disrespect her as is my 1035 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 1: mother in law. There's definitely you. You definitely hear more 1036 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,040 Speaker 1: stories as the sun in law though, because it's also 1037 01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: like being intro to the family. You're you're now the 1038 01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 1: New Year. Yeah, you haven't heard any of this, right, 1039 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Like all right, I tried these bits on these idiots. 1040 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,360 Speaker 1: Still they didn't buy it. But now I got a 1041 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 1: new audience. So here we go, and I'm just eat 1042 01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 1: it up. I'm like, all right in the same way 1043 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 1: you were. Yeah, you're going talk got talking. But yeah, 1044 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's probably a government, uh, 1045 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,400 Speaker 1: either testing it out, or even if the alien's driving, 1046 01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 1: it's probably it's government. Watched. I love that. So so 1047 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,680 Speaker 1: there it is, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, I believe that 1048 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,680 Speaker 1: we've nailed it. We've resolved that that spacecraft was being 1049 01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: piloted by American soldiers who had stolen it from an 1050 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,240 Speaker 1: alien and are now testing that equipment to see if 1051 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: it's somehow usable. And apparently it's not going that well 1052 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: because this was a decade ago and they still ain't 1053 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 1: released that new uh silver blimp for us to be 1054 01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,080 Speaker 1: flying around in. But maybe someday. When I didn't tell 1055 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,080 Speaker 1: you was one of one of those soldiers was Elon Musk. 1056 01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:02,040 Speaker 1: So uh, young man, a young bald man by the 1057 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 1: name of Elon Musk was flying that plane and he 1058 01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 1: spent all his soldier money on a new scalp, on 1059 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:13,480 Speaker 1: a new head of hair. So we've made no progress. Well, 1060 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 1: can you tell the people at home where they can 1061 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: find you? What cool ship do you have going on? 1062 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 1: Um at Mr Will Miles on everything, m R m 1063 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 1: R Said, I was like, I hate everything except when 1064 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,600 Speaker 1: I'm good at it, then it's fun.
