<v Speaker 2>This is on, this is off, don't.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Talk about it off the record.

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm done talking about it right now. I can't believe you.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>What was that expert in this week? More bike stuff?

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I've been biking more. I was biking by myself before

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>I was biking with Adrian. Because you know, I didn't

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>know how to bike and I fell.

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 2>But after you mean you didn't know how to bike,

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>like you just learned how to ride a bike. No,

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:31.919
<v Speaker 2>but I haven't rode a bike in like ten years. Yeah,

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>twelve years. That's a long time not to be on

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 2>a bike, I know.

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I rode the Williamsburg Bridge, I rode the

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn Bridge, almost died seventeen times.

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about those deaths. Okay.

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>So first of all, there's an incline on the Williamsbrick

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Bridge that I didn't even know of.

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>I thought that you just go straight straight, So as

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>soon as you hit like two.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Minutes in, you feel the incline. And I'm on a

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>cruising ass bike. Everybody's on these like racer ass bike.

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>People were like racing for them their lives.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>And I'm the only one like, I mean, the faster

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>you get to the top of the hill, the faster

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 2>you can coast down.

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, but you got to get up that incline first.

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, I mean the city, I've been on

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>that bridge before. I feel like you talk about an incline,

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>It's not like you going up as steep ass hills,

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>like you go, wait, were you going up there walking? No,

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 2>I've been. I've been on the train across the It's

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 2>not the same. It's not the same. You've got to

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>get on a bike. For anybody who's listening to this,

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>if you've ever been on a treadmill and you've been

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>on like a three number a point three incline, I

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like that's what the bridge does. Mind you, it

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>was like ninety two degrees. Well that's that's that's what

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it was. Also, because you you know, out of shape. No, no, no,

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I had road to your house. Okay, riding the bike

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 2>one time doesn't make you in shape. You riding into

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 2>shape now. I rode it a couple of times, you

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 2>know what.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, it was the hottest day this week, and I

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>went to your house and I went to the Brooklyn Bridge.

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>After the bridge, I was like, yeah, getting on the train.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Can't do this, can't get back to I was already.

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 2>In the city. So you were one of those assholes

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 2>with a big ass bike on the train and you

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>probably had a seat for your bike.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 3>God.

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>People hated me. They hated they hated my stupid basket.

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Like people were rolling their eyes left and right, and

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>then I was like, I've already rode the bike.

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Let me bring the bike up the stairs. So I'm halfway.

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Up the stairs and I'm struggling, and there's a guy

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>behind me like do you want me to help you

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>with that? And I was like, no, I got it,

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and I really didn't have it and I was struggling.

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Sorry the feminist, you weren't trying to let him just

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>take the bike real quick?

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, why are you gonna ask me when I'm already

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>halfway there?

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>You should because he looked like it looked like you

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>we wasn't gonna make it the rest of the way.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 3>It was not yo, yo.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I almost knocked twelve of my dreads off. It was

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>crazy sis.

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>But then last night I was on the Williams brig

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Bridge and you know it's it's hard biking at night

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>because these cars don't give.

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 2>A fuck about you. Oh you do a nighttime bike,

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>nighttime bike by yourself? Oh I got a city bike.

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Fidola yo?

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>You are yo? I was like, I'm ready to die.

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's do this, Yeah you are? Are you ready to

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 2>die on a city bike on a Williamsburg bridge not

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>even like a like an iconic Brooklyn Bridge. So wait,

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I have to get that's the best bridge to die on.

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean if in terms of when people think of

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 2>New York, they don't they don't even know what the

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>hell of Williamsburg Bridge is. They know, maybe they might

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>know the Manhattan Bridge, they might, but everybody knows what

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the Brooklyn Bridge is.

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 3>Dude.

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the Pulaski Bridges is a nice Don't

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 2>nobody know what bridge that is? Literally just like lit

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 2>up or something like that. Nobody even knows who's So.

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Last night, I'm riding again on the incline or whatever,

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm in a dress. I look crazy. Everyone is

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 1>geared the fuck. Everybody has a head a helmet on.

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you got a wee So that's that's sturdy

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 2>enough for yours.

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I know, these these locks have been in for like

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>two months, so they hard as hell.

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>They pretty much a helmet anyway, exactly exactly, so you

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>just gotta change the shape. Yeah.

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I'm like pushing, I'm talking to myself like

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like you would do this, don't stop, don't stop.

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>And I get halfway there and I kneel over to

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the side.

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm like I gotta take a break. I can't.

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>So I thought that I was going to be the

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>only woman on the bridge, and it was it was

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.559
<v Speaker 1>nothing but women going.

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, Sidney's twenty seventeen. We got we

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 2>got rights. Now we can rent bikes, we could cross bridges.

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>I was like, y'all was just too cute to be

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 2>on this bridge. Y'all ain't got no uber pool, no

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 2>uber X, no lift, no go, no get. They're just

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to get their thig listen. They were just trying

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 2>to get their thigh gap together for twenty seventeen. That's

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 2>all I love. The like the women that were checking

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 2>on me. The men didn't get it. They were like

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>you dumb, you shouldn't be on here anyway.

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>But the women were like you, okay, do you need

0:05:58.320 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>some snacks like the bitch pull?

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I heard trails like you good, your your sugar's last

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 2>because they've been where you've been before. You know what

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you got to start somewhere.

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Great.

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't have it within my you know, tone dance

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 2>body to cross a bridge on a bike at night

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>or in the daytime. But it felt good.

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm going to keep doing this bike

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>thing for the whole summer by wintertime, bitch, Serena Williams,

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Like my butt's already in a little bit bigger, you know.

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean I thought that was from all the food.

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 3>You were.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Something that's from all the backshot. Shut up? What were

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you in? An expert in this week? This week, I

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>was an expert at never wearing the right thing. Like

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 2>it just got super hot here. It's officially, I guess,

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>summer in New York City, And you know, sometimes you

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>want to throw on a little booty short and then

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>go to a show and then realize, oh, this is

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 2>like a professional ass show and I'm the only one

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>with half of my laby out. So it was a

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of me like trying to like wrap things around

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.919
<v Speaker 2>my body so that people couldn't see the temple that

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 2>is my body. And yesterday I put on a Maxi

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>dress that looked like a long Taliban T shirt you

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm talking about, throwback two thousand and one

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 2>shirts that like Nelly and them was wearing. I had

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 2>a dress on that looked like that yesterday and it

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 2>was like a cool seventy two degrees and the temperature

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 2>dropped at night, and I thought I would have time

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 2>to go home and get a jacket. Then no time,

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>so I'm just just nips out on the street. Just

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 2>in this night dress. I look like Ebnezer Screwge, you

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.239
<v Speaker 2>know how, like back in the day, like white dudes

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.400

<v Speaker 2>my dress was a snake print. I think with some

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.120

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 3>met a lot of like white kids and I had

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 3>I grew up in this neighborhood, so it's mostly black

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 3>back then, but that is changing. We will get to that.

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Your resume is very cute.

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate your resume, but like, because you popped

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>all around, I feel like maybe you're more acceptable to

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>white people because you got yeah, culture and experience.

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Also you know what, Also it is is like, since

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 3>I've dealt with white people in my whole life, I'm

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 3>not like intimidated by them at all. I'm not I

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 3>don'tstify them. I don't think this is.

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Either.

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 3>But I'm saying there's people, though, who you meet who

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 3>were like, uh, uncomfortable around anyone who's that's.

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Because we know that they'd be ready to kill like

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 2>the biggest thugs in the world.

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Well there's this is a thing where your people were

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 3>just comfortable with everybody. And I've just been around everybody

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 3>in my whole life, and Morocco was really important actually

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 3>because like my friends were from Malaysia, freaking my best

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 3>friends from Malaysia, San Diego, France, and.

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:14.959
<v Speaker 4>San Diego, San Diego.

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:18.880
<v Speaker 3>That's my crew. I mean, I feel like when I think.

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.240
<v Speaker 2>In Morocco, I think of like everybody were like white linen.

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.199
<v Speaker 3>But we were all like military and diplomat kids at

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.439
<v Speaker 3>the school. So we have friends from Moroccan as well,

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 3>but we all our school friends at the school or

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 3>like military brad kids who moved around all the time,

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.880
<v Speaker 2>So you're just doing your thing. Yeah you were privileged. Yeah, regulars.

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 4>But there's the thing.

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I had two lives because over there, I was privileged

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 3>because Morocco thinks dirty. We had a maide and we

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 3>had a maid and a gardener. Back in Brooklyn, my

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:48.359
<v Speaker 3>mom is just no class teachers that been thirty years.

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Middle class, like middle class, Saint Ship.

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we don't have no maid, no butler, we don't

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:54.639
<v Speaker 3>got no gardener.

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 2>So most people in this country don't have that, you

0:17:59.400 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean?

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Like, but I grew up also, like when Crown Heights

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:03.920
<v Speaker 3>it was, it was hood. It was not like you

0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 3>know it was yeah, Crome Heights it was basically at

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 3>the same time.

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's funny that you were saying that you you

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>don't mystify white people. I grew up in Oakland, California,

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't have any white friends until I moved

0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to New York City.

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I only had black and Cambodian friends. Cambodian like I

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:28.360
<v Speaker 2>have cambody younger, you change, man, what I haven't met

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>any Cambodians here, but I that's all I knew in California.

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 2>But when I moved to New York, I was like, oh,

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 2>this is white people like I was never scared of them,

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 2>but I also was like, why did it look like that,

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>You've never you've never met at Cambonian Cambodian in New York,

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Like I met a girl with Cambodian virgin hair like me.

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.639
<v Speaker 2>It was a Cambodian weed, very silky. Yeah, but they

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 2>were from it was from the Bronx, so it was

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.119
<v Speaker 2>definitely not from Cambodia. No, I'm not talking about you.

0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about somebody Cambodian. It was a black girl,

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and it was a you know, she paid eight hundred

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 2>dollars for a week anyway, So I mean I grew

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 2>up in a in the suburbs and I had like

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 2>a mixed bag of white and black, and I watched

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.840
<v Speaker 2>television and I had hood kids on section name who

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 2>lived across the street from me.

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I had like a good high school,

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 3>the high school kids who like across the street from me,

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 3>whose family on welfare, footable housing everything. And then kids

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 3>at my at my what do you call private school

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 3>in Brooklyn in Park Slope that were like had summer homes.

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 4>They were like flying off to France and ship.

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 3>So it was like a whole like.

0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 4>I had both experiences.

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:40.399
<v Speaker 3>It was weird. It was like a yeah, but in.

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Those experience, who had a cooler mom, the section night

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.639
<v Speaker 2>mom or exactly got.

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 3>The people one let them drink juice. The white kids.

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:50.199
<v Speaker 3>The white kids I was friends with high school. They

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 3>had rooms you couldn't go into in their house like this.

0:19:52.800 --> 0:20:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Crazy what wasn't there? They like slave memorabil what sold

0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 2>the sambo playing cards. For some reason, I felt like

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 2>the Jewish moms were the best moms. Like when I

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 2>was in middle definitely made you ate. It was always

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 2>always feeding me.

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.919
<v Speaker 1>My mother had brought me like one of those bootleg

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 1>uh puff puffer jackets for the winter, but she smoked,

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.159
<v Speaker 1>so there was like cigarette uh holes.

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 2>In it and everything, and so she burnt.

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 3>She she took her on the north.

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't even it was a bear remember bear barely bear.

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh shut up.

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 2>And my friend's mom bought me a new jacket and

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my god, she brought me and

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 2>it was like a three hundred dollars jacket. I brought

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.160
<v Speaker 2>it home and my mother was like, if you don't

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 2>take that damn jacket off and right back, you are embarrassing.

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 3>I was like No, the jacket that I have is embarrassing.

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 3>She would not take this woman's jacket.

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 2>My mom, No one's ever bought me any like none

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.119
<v Speaker 2>of my friend's mom are over that cool or that

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty damn cool. That nice to me because you

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 2>know they're side save the bullock.

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 3>No, my mom would.

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:19.439
<v Speaker 2>My mom didn't even like when I borrowed my friend's stuff,

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Like I'd be like, oh, I borrowed Valerie shoes and

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 2>my mom was like, my shoes here, take this off.

0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>My mom too, Ramona wasn't playing that shop. She was

0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 1>just like, we have our own things.

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you're in a night's school, but don't you're not

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:32.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna have people thinking we're poor. Yeah, And she wouldn't

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 2>even let me spend the night.

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.200
<v Speaker 1>And then eventually we went to Fire Island because my

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 1>friend owned her family had a house there and.

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 2>We were on a bill and we're doing I was like,

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 2>why can't I have this?

0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 3>And then somebody leaned in and was like, because.

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:49.800
<v Speaker 2>You're poor, Because you're quite poor.

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Click.

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Can we talk about how so you've been in Crown

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Heights except for those those years that you were in Morocco,

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you've been.

0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Here that in like four years in college in Boston

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.120
<v Speaker 3>and I a little bit of two years after Cool,

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 3>So I've spent maybe like eight of my year's total

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 3>of my life outside of Brooklyn. So I've been here

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 3>most of the year, most of it.

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 2>So when you first, so, what's the biggest difference that

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:16.200
<v Speaker 2>you see in Brooklyn then versus Because I mean I

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.800
<v Speaker 2>see last saw smoke shop and I walk by.

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:20.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean a slide from just like white people getting

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 3>off the stops that you never would imagine they'd ever

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 3>get off of from the subway, and I mean just

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 3>like the things that opening up are so crazy, like

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:30.520
<v Speaker 3>like you guys know, I have the show electrical laughs

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 3>every month. Sydney's done the show. You're gonna do the

0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:37.920
<v Speaker 3>show when I come back in the fall. And that

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 3>place is a coworking space we work, right, it's kind

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:45.160
<v Speaker 3>of a similar thing. Yeah, but it costs four hundred

0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 3>dollars a month to work there. So like there's things

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 3>that are specifically not for us. Where it's right down

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:54.920
<v Speaker 3>the street here in crowd nights, it's on front.

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, because when a couple of years ago, I heard

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.880
<v Speaker 2>this white lady, she was talking about her new apartment,

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and so I'm nosy.

0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:02.119
<v Speaker 3>So I leaned in and I was like, where are

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.719
<v Speaker 3>you living? She was like Bedford Stuyvesant.

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I was like, you live in bedstyle. You she's this little, tiny,

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 2>petite like like oblivious to She's one of these like

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't see color and like rolled up yellow matt

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.160
<v Speaker 2>white women. And she was like she lives in bed

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:21.400
<v Speaker 2>like the heart of bedsty and you know, fifteen years ago,

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty years ago, like they wouldn't even say.

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, my mom, my mom was she moved. My mom

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.920
<v Speaker 3>moved to North Carolina. She retired and moved on to

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina. Five years ago. I tell her about what's

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 3>going on. She does not believe me. She literally she's like,

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 3>it is no Starbucks on Eastern Parkway. Yes, that was

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 3>a house that was literally a crackhouse allowed to go

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 3>past Bedford was.

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 2>So now it's a crackhouse for white people Starbucks.

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 1>But that's the thing, Like white people will turn a

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>crackhouse into a coffee shop, like that's what they do,

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:54.680
<v Speaker 1>or bull turner.

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Crackhouse into an open mic or doing comedy in the crackhouse,

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 2>or don't turn a crackhouse into a boutique shop called

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the crackhouse.

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 1>That is true, ironically exactly, there's white people going to

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Narsty now, Nursey, Listen.

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think about black ass.

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.040
<v Speaker 3>I would never A crazy turning point for me was

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:21.159
<v Speaker 3>seeing people in Brownsville because I always associated Brownsville with

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 3>like just the roughness of the rough Like I didn't

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:27.440
<v Speaker 3>go to browns when I was a kid. I still

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.440
<v Speaker 3>don't go to browns From like these white folks moved

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:31.479
<v Speaker 3>into Brownsville like it is no thing, that's the new

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 3>hot I think that's the thing.

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.119
<v Speaker 2>You need to repeat that again. Mike Tyson is from.

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Used to knock old ladies over the head and take

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:39.280
<v Speaker 3>their purse in browns There are.

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 2>White people in that neighborhood now like they live listen, listen.

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 2>They're in East New York, which is like really like

0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 2>that's like whoo, who's from East New York? Rock him?

<v Speaker 2>Dusty ass high? Right, They're like these used to be

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 2>the projects and now they're the project pavilion. You can

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 2>live here for just ten thousand dollars a month for

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 2>this studio apartment, Clid crazy. I wanted to ask you.

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, even though you're you know, you date

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:20.600
<v Speaker 1>white women, you you're friends with them, how does it

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>feel to like see the gentrification like happen literally every day?

0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:28.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's it's it's baffling.

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Because you'll be bringing them in you, they be bringing you, be.

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Bringing them introd neighborhood. You move in, and yet I

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 3>haven't just by my own ship yeh, yes you did.

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:43.160
<v Speaker 3>I haven't moved in here, and yet I haven't moved

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 3>in with anybody. It's I mean, you.

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Gotta think about us.

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 3>It's been years now, It's been like fifteen years.

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 4>Of this now, so this is not a new phenomenon.

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not like, no, Clid, but you got to

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.159
<v Speaker 2>think about your responsibility here. You introduce, you bring them,

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 2>you invited them to your house, and then they get

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>off the train and they're like, oh I always felt

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Crown Lights was dand is it's just super cute. Then

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 2>when their friends are looking for an apartment, they'd be like, beckay,

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:06.960
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly what you've been.

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Doing it for fifteen years. Could it's soving it out,

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 3>it's oving it out the case I fucked.

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Up my neighborhood because I lived in Harlem and I

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 1>was on one twenty seven in Madison and a nice brownstone.

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 1>That was like ten years ago when you had a

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:21.639
<v Speaker 1>brownstone and people like you live in a brownstone. Now

0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody live in a brownstone. But I my roommate was white.

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>She moved in, I left, she's there. Then another friend

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.560
<v Speaker 1>of mine lives them seriously, So now the whole building

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:31.960
<v Speaker 1>is white.

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:34.439
<v Speaker 2>It's two people that's white. The whole building is white now.

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 1>And so now there's a freaking whole Foods on one

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty fifth Street.

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:41.920
<v Speaker 2>They took uh what was that?

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 3>So? Is that south so hot? It's taking soup. That's crazy.

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 2>They're shutting down the Sea Town and the Key Food.

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.120
<v Speaker 2>They're shutting down the seatown for a whole food. Yes, girl,

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 2>where people get their guava from? Where they gonna get

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 2>there Goya? There's no Goya sections in the.

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:00.359
<v Speaker 4>Water with coconuts in it.

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Eight pounds of sugar, way floating sugar coconut water. That's crazy.

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean literally, there's like the gap. There's everything

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 1>on one twenty fifth Street that I didn't even think.

0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, they're crazy to see. There's like just like little

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 3>changes that people don't notice. Though, Like I was writing

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 3>about this, like one thing I've noticed that police officers

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 3>smile at residents. That's something I've never seen before. Like this,

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 3>walking down the street, I just saw cops just smiling

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 3>at people.

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever seen a COPSI yeah.

0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 3>I've never seen cops smiling at residents. Mostly white residents

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 3>are smiling at but they are smiling at people who

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.119
<v Speaker 3>live in the neighborhood. And that's something I've just never accustomed.

0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:39.199
<v Speaker 3>You just mean mug cops, They mean muggy. You mean

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:43.480
<v Speaker 3>them in the NY smile. Listen, smiling police.

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a cop smile. But I did see

0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 2>here a cop laugh at me.

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Once. I was going down the street and like you,

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:51.200
<v Speaker 3>I tripped.

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 2>On a pothole or a large crack on the sidewalk

0:27:53.320 --> 0:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>and I wasn't trying to break my mother's back, so

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I tripped and then I heard somebody go ah, look,

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:01.119
<v Speaker 2>and it was a cop the street laughing at me,

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 2>and I was protection sir, and he was like, hell,

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 2>you gotta watch that curb. That was the whole interaction.

0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:10.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know he smiled.

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Though, So you've been in this neighborhood that long things

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 2>have been changing. How has your building changed?

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Yea, let's talk about that. It's weird. So so you'll

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:24.639
<v Speaker 3>see notes notes in the hallway, note passive aggressive notes.

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:27.439
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing they I've never seen before. It's one

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:31.439
<v Speaker 3>lady posted like if you must smoke in the common area,

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, use it astray, like just like stuff that

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 3>you wouldn't see what is a common area? Yeah, but

0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 3>then also like, but it's funny. My building is still

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 3>pretty much mostly black. There's some white people moving in,

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 3>but the white people are definitely, for the most part,

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:55.560
<v Speaker 3>solely adjusting. Like the music is definitely louder than folks

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 3>are moving in accustomed to. So you get something like

0:28:57.320 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 3>battles with that. But I think people just kind of realize,

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 3>like this buildings the how it's gonna be, and I'm

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 3>just going to fit into it.

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 2>It's New York City though. The fact that people move

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 2>to New York City and they want peace and quiet,

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 2>you're not. You're not.

0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>There's there's there's the train, there's ambulance, there's the police,

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:13.520
<v Speaker 1>there's the hood.

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 2>There is there's no way you can get peace and

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 2>unless banish people listening to their bot there's the black

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:23.320
<v Speaker 2>people listening to their whatever reggae song they have on

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 2>repeat in my building. It's changing so fast that I

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>heard somebody blessing ed sheeran. Wow, Wow, what hours the

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 2>same song over and over again.

0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Alady come to the door, turn that goddamned.

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 2>They feel about the new album, just like like on repeat.

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Super did see something amazing last summer though. There's a

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 3>new white girl moving upstairs and was just downstairs in

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 3>the stairs all smoking weed with the hood dudes. It

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 3>was great.

0:29:53.880 --> 0:29:55.800
<v Speaker 4>I was like, this is people coming together.

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Just because I was I assume that people who move

0:29:57.920 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 3>in will complain about like the hoodishness of the building,

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 3>like you know, people playing like all went along and

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:06.240
<v Speaker 3>downstairs we got people in the lobby playing suit and dice,

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 3>playing dominoes.

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, like this building is like lean on it.

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, deaden the streets so all some of people barbecue

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 3>on the sidewalk.

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Well that's they're barbecuing on the sidewalk. But you know what,

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 2>they're shutting down block parties. There used to be ten.

0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Years ago, there used to be block parties in Brooklyn

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and Harlem. They're shutting it down, and it's so sad

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 1>because block parties actually bring the block together. Like, yeah,

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really gonna eat your mac and cheese from

0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 1>two doors down, but.

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 2>At least it's out there. At least you made enough

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 2>enough trade for everybody. At least we know you tried it. Yeah, Okay,

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it looks disgusting.

0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:49.440
<v Speaker 3>But it's also a thing where like you got you

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 3>judge people who come into the neighborhood by how they

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 3>come into the neighborhood.

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 4>So I saw it the Mike Cannon, you guys know.

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Mike cannoned off this another comic Mike move, you know,

0:30:56.960 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 3>the comic hen move into my old block, an them

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 3>phosphate place, and like he was one of the first

0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 3>like white people to live there. And he's like, you know,

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 3>I knew I was coming to this thing, and people

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 3>view me as like this invader. So he made a

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 3>point of only like supporting black owned businesses. He made

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 3>a point of like only like going to places where

0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 3>like he was going to be viewed as someone who

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:19.720
<v Speaker 3>was like contributing something and not just someone who just

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 3>like because this white people moving to a neighborhood and

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:23.800
<v Speaker 3>they only go to like the new white places, and

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.880
<v Speaker 3>that is like not that's not not viewed in positive but.

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 1>It's also a double edge sword with it because sometimes

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 1>when white people are too into like the black owned

0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>businesses and they only have black friends, it's like, are

0:31:36.680 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you making this trendy because you weren't doing that before?

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Like are you You're going out of your way? I

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 1>like when people are just natural about it, like you

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>don't have to but just be conscious of what you're doing.

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely. It's it's crazy though, because you have to kind

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:53.800
<v Speaker 3>of be intentional in some way about these things, because yeah,

0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:55.920
<v Speaker 3>if you just a person's a lot of times a

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 3>person's natural instinct is just like go with people who

0:31:58.000 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 3>are just like them, and that's how you end up

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:01.480
<v Speaker 3>with the neighborhood. Yeah, but if you move into.

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:05.240
<v Speaker 2>A neighborhood white, Yes, But Williamsburg didn't start out like

0:32:06.360 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Williamsburg to me, like because I've seen it change. So Williamsburg,

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 2>for those of you who are listening who have never

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 2>been to New York, is more expensive than parts of

0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Manhattan now when it was more No, it used to

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 2>be like it used to be where poor artists who

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 2>couldn't afford to live in the city live and you

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 2>you'd live in like an old warehouse that is now

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 2>like a like a whatever. Now, like I walk every

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 2>time I go to Willisburg, it's completely different than the

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 2>last time I was there. There's an apple.

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 4>Store, yes, opening another one.

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:43.360
<v Speaker 2>It's only two apple that's insane.

0:32:44.240 --> 0:32:47.400
<v Speaker 1>All the bars that were there ten years ago, Like

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 1>there was a place called Salis.

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 2>That I would go there, It's they're all gone.

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 3>I always go to Spike Hill right next to the

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:56.320
<v Speaker 3>Bedford station, and I was like, well, see that's what

0:32:56.400 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 3>they do is.

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:58.600
<v Speaker 2>And this is People listening to this are like, why

0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:01.040
<v Speaker 2>are you guys complaining Mantwaan people, we bring apple stores

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 2>to your neighborhood.

0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:02.720
<v Speaker 3>This is why we're complaining.

0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Because y'all move in, and then your friends move in,

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:09.640
<v Speaker 2>and then they raise everybody's rent who's already been there

0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 2>for years. But then they raised the rent of the

0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 2>businesses that have been there, so no one can afford

0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 2>to be there except y'all.

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, then the whole cultural identity the place has changed.

0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Exactly.

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 2>It's that they moved there in the first place because

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:22.800
<v Speaker 2>it was cheap. Exactly.

0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Now it's not cheap anywhere so you're actually doing a

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>disservice to what you actually wanted to do.

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 3>That was also one of the things where it's to

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 3>the point now where're several generations into gentrification. So yeah,

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 3>a lot of white people who were mad about it.

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:39.360
<v Speaker 3>They're like, I was here and now I'm priced and

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 3>drop back that ass up.

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm here for.

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Two thousand.

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Coffee shop was a yoga studio and now so that's

0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:49.520
<v Speaker 3>all you know that it's a mayonnaise store.

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 2>It's sad for me because of the playgrounds. I'm more

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 2>upset about the outside and then you, uh, you still.

0:33:58.920 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Go to playground.

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about for the kids.

0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, anybody, anybody in here got no damn q growing.

0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Up in Harlem, like being in just being on the bench,

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:12.680
<v Speaker 2>being on porches, being on stoop. That was New York

0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 2>and now you can't do It's called lottery.

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 4>No, it'stering there.

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:19.279
<v Speaker 2>There was no.

0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:26.920
<v Speaker 4>Thing, yes, sitting in this communicating with people, communicating.

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Yo, this is like like Brooklyn is a Spike Lee movie.

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah again, well Spike had this whole thing with his dad.

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 3>His dad had like a big, like decades long battle

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 3>with their new neighbors who were mad about the music.

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:41.919
<v Speaker 3>Fort Green, they had a whole whole house, a whole

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:44.400
<v Speaker 3>brownstone where people just played music all day, the musicians.

0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 3>And then these new people move in. They were like, Nah,

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 3>this gotta go down.

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 2>That's what my problem is is you move into my

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 2>neighborhood where we've been doing we've been we've been playing

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:56.439
<v Speaker 2>music loud when every day that we clean, we play

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:59.359
<v Speaker 2>music loud. Every time that we're happy, we play music loud.

0:34:59.360 --> 0:34:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Every time something.

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 2>He breaks up with us, we playing musical live. Somebody

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:03.000
<v Speaker 2>gives you some good dick.

0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 3>You play musicud.

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Even a white person moves in with a child in

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:08.800
<v Speaker 2>one of them double wade strollers and then they're like,

0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, I have I have a baby.

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 3>You need to turn it down.

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, no, I have been playing music before

0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 2>the baby, like before you met your man, I've been

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:19.960
<v Speaker 2>playing this music and you complaining about noise complaints. And

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 2>the problem is is that when gentrification happens.

0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>People call the cops more before people would never call

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:27.319
<v Speaker 1>the cops.

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 2>So like, we don't handle it the way we're gonna

0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 2>handle it. And I'm gonna go up there, I'm gonna

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 2>smack thee I'm not the ceiling with a boom, you

0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:35.879
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, like the and they.

0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Don't understand that some of us don't have the same

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:40.279
<v Speaker 1>relationship with police as you do.

0:35:40.640 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Like you that you think that they're protecting you.

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're protecting you. They're not protecting everybody. Let me

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 1>tell you what happens. So I have a white roommate.

0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 1>She's a craiglist. Find that's just what it is.

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:56.279
<v Speaker 2>So one day she had like a tender a tinder

0:35:56.360 --> 0:36:00.080
<v Speaker 2>boot come into the house and she, uh the I

0:36:00.120 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 2>have a downstairs neighbor who's like real loud. He like

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 2>this angry crazy leski, this Spanish dude, and he was

0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:09.640
<v Speaker 2>down there yelling at his girlfriend or his baby mother

0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:12.880
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. I couldn't hear him yelling. My roommate is like,

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 2>he's so loud, do you hear that.

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I go into her room and she.

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Has her ear like on a cook on the floor,

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, if that's why you can hear it

0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:23.400
<v Speaker 2>so clear because you listening. And she was like, she's like,

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna call the cops. And I was like, oh girl,

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 2>She was like, should we call the cops? I said,

0:36:28.560 --> 0:36:31.799
<v Speaker 2>we ain't calling nobody I said, if you're gonna call him,

0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:33.560
<v Speaker 2>make sure you don't say what apartment you call him from.

0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:36.319
<v Speaker 2>She calls the cops, right, and then I hear her

0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:40.480
<v Speaker 2>say apartment three A, and I was like, I was say, yo,

0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't say any other letter or any other number

0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:45.359
<v Speaker 2>of all the letters and all the numbers in the world.

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 2>You put the actual one ones that are on my

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 2>door on the phone. So then she calls the cops

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:54.759
<v Speaker 2>and her company comes over. So, you know, basic guess

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:56.959
<v Speaker 2>white man. He had on sandals, he was reading outside whatever,

0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and we look out the window and like swarms of

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 2>cops are running into the building and I'm like, they

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:06.839
<v Speaker 2>all this for you who just called? And they were

0:37:06.840 --> 0:37:08.839
<v Speaker 2>actually running upstairs to the people above us somebody wh's

0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:10.680
<v Speaker 2>trying to kill themselves something I don't know whatever, But

0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:12.799
<v Speaker 2>we were, you know, we live in a building where

0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 2>people are really nosy. So we were all in the

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:17.759
<v Speaker 2>doorway like looking and listening, and the man downstairs came

0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:19.480
<v Speaker 2>up and he was like, oh, yeah, just called the

0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:22.520
<v Speaker 2>cops on me too, didn't you. And he's like yelling

0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:24.359
<v Speaker 2>at us, and I'm looking at him like, dude, I've

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:26.399
<v Speaker 2>never dialed nine one one in my life. I don't

0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 2>even know the number to nine one one.

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 3>But I would never.

0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:30.719
<v Speaker 2>But now he got a problem with me because he

0:37:30.800 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 2>thinks I did it. And she's like she comes out

0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 2>and she's like, well what happened? And then why are

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:40.200
<v Speaker 2>they yelling? She's like super oblivious to what she did.

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:42.360
<v Speaker 2>And now he got a problem with me.

0:37:42.600 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 3>The person is that's the see that is the most

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:47.600
<v Speaker 3>that is one of the most dangerous kinds of white people.

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Who doesn't realize that, like the police escalate things to

0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:52.760
<v Speaker 3>their away with black people, so like calling the cops

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:55.920
<v Speaker 3>should be like the last resort. Like I've I've I

0:37:55.960 --> 0:37:57.160
<v Speaker 3>mean most of it. I think most of the black

0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 3>people I know, I'm all like this. I've never called

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:03.000
<v Speaker 3>for any reason ever, which is crazy. But I was

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:04.960
<v Speaker 3>grouping in a bad neighborhood. It just never occurred to

0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 3>me like to do that.

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Called the cops once one time on a family member

0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:15.880
<v Speaker 2>on a family she she she threw a tray table

0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:17.719
<v Speaker 2>at me. I said, yeah, we're not gonna do this

0:38:17.880 --> 0:38:19.759
<v Speaker 2>like it hit me. It almost hit me in my eye,

0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:20.360
<v Speaker 2>and I was like.

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you got to go.

0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what's the backstory here? Why what did you

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>do to get a trade table thrown at you. You

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:27.400
<v Speaker 2>know what, See you're not as you should be more

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 2>supportive and be like, no, what happened?

0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do any question that. I just asked what

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 1>did you do? I didn't do anything. A relative was dying.

0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:38.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, when somebody dies, people start arguing over stuff like.

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's I want that brooch?

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Like crazy.

0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:44.400
<v Speaker 1>So no, we were just going back and forth and

0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:47.440
<v Speaker 1>then it just escalated and she started arguing and then

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:49.000
<v Speaker 1>she threw a trade table at me.

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I said, yeah, you're gonna go. We got you gotta

0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 2>get out, Like, so, how many people were in the house?

0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:54.959
<v Speaker 2>It was about seven.

0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.560
<v Speaker 1>First of all, it's like a one bedroom apartment, like

0:38:57.840 --> 0:38:59.480
<v Speaker 1>it shouldn't have been eight people there.

0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 2>It was eight people sleeping there staying.

0:39:01.719 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 3>It was messy. You sound real Dominican.

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it felt real. It felt like bitty bitty Bama.

0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:12.560
<v Speaker 2>It was really terrible. And she tore a trade table

0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:13.880
<v Speaker 2>at me, and I have to call the cops. But

0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:15.840
<v Speaker 2>then when the cops came here, like so, do you want.

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:16.319
<v Speaker 3>To take her?

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:21.000
<v Speaker 2>And I was like no, I couldn't send you what girl?

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:23.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you could listen, you gotta get that story

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:29.680
<v Speaker 2>to yourself. You didn't need to show that, because what's

0:39:29.719 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the craziest thing that you saw in your neighborhood grown up? Like,

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:37.560
<v Speaker 2>what's the craziest, like the most the most nino brownish

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 2>moment of I mean just.

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:42.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, outside of the standard like open air drug dealing,

0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:44.840
<v Speaker 3>just like in the middle of the day type stuff.

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 3>Seeing the cops handcuffs and body and beat them up

0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:51.319
<v Speaker 3>and then let them go, give them to give them

0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:53.520
<v Speaker 3>a choice of like wall can either like give you

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:56.200
<v Speaker 3>a beaten or like arrest you. And they're like, well.

0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:01.320
<v Speaker 2>At the park, would you if you were giving the

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:03.640
<v Speaker 2>choice beat me up or arrest me?

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 2>That you've seen in your neighborhood recently?

0:40:35.040 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean I saw a dude on a tall bike.

0:40:39.680 --> 0:40:43.320
<v Speaker 3>That are like on top of each other and like

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:46.600
<v Speaker 3>you have to basically roll up next to like a

0:40:46.800 --> 0:40:49.840
<v Speaker 3>lighthole to stop because you're so high off the ground.

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Like a dude, Like, how do you do that?

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Like a circus act? Like a bike on stilts?

0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a tall bike and this bike is like double

0:40:57.480 --> 0:40:59.800
<v Speaker 3>the height of a record bike bike frames well with

0:40:59.880 --> 0:41:00.720
<v Speaker 3>the if she's.

0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Thrown a rock between the smooth I saw a white

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 2>guy on a unit, like a big unit cycle and

0:41:06.120 --> 0:41:10.839
<v Speaker 2>he had to fitted on a y fitted on. I said, blasphemy,

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:15.400
<v Speaker 2>that is not He was probably listening to migos with

0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:18.640
<v Speaker 2>terrible you know, he had corn rolls.

0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 3>It was awful. And I saw a dude with the cape,

0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:24.560
<v Speaker 3>with the cape he walking, He was walking down Bedford Avenue.

0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 3>He was a white dude with the cape. He wasn't

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:28.520
<v Speaker 3>even on like a hoverboard or not. Harry Potter is

0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:31.360
<v Speaker 3>walking down the street. You know that is crazy.

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 4>That's like within the normal realm.

0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, Colid, you you upset about the gentrification, But what's

0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:39.520

0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:31.640

<v Speaker 3>You're doing what you're doing, and you're thriving right now.

0:46:57.280 --> 0:46:58.840
<v Speaker 2>When's the last time you've been on a date with

0:46:58.920 --> 0:46:59.839
<v Speaker 2>a Vietnamese woman?

0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you're trying to make me the United Nations.

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Your dad works for a state department. You had a

0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:07.840
<v Speaker 2>friend from San Diego.

0:47:08.000 --> 0:47:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Come on, now, I have a friend from Malaysia. I

0:47:11.280 --> 0:47:13.480
<v Speaker 3>rode in a bulletproof limousine.

0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:15.200
<v Speaker 4>When I was nine.

0:47:15.280 --> 0:47:18.680
<v Speaker 3>That's a bulletproof, right.

0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:23.759
<v Speaker 2>What he's trying, He's trying to stay alive. If I

0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:26.960
<v Speaker 2>date this Tiffany with three eyes, then when our baby

0:47:27.080 --> 0:47:30.080
<v Speaker 2>comes out, Tate Dick's color, Dick's baby color, then I

0:47:30.160 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 2>know that won't shoot. So what what advice do you

0:47:34.320 --> 0:47:39.080
<v Speaker 2>have for people who are maybe being edged out of

0:47:39.160 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 2>their neighborhood as a gentrification?

0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:43.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean I started, I start my rent was going

0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:45.920
<v Speaker 3>to go up at my old place, and eventually it

0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:48.000
<v Speaker 3>didn't just go up. They sold, They sold our whole.

0:47:48.000 --> 0:47:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Our landlord sold our apartment, so we moved. I started

0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:54.160
<v Speaker 3>getting desperate and looking at like crazy situations. I was like,

0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:57.080
<v Speaker 3>can I live in a fancy fixed up band? Can

0:47:57.160 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 3>I live? Can I live on a march? I was like,

0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:02.440
<v Speaker 3>look and crazy crazy things. But I think the main

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:06.200
<v Speaker 3>thing is just like know your know your rights in

0:48:06.320 --> 0:48:09.279
<v Speaker 3>terms of your tenants. Rights are very strong in New

0:48:09.360 --> 0:48:12.040
<v Speaker 3>York City. And it's also very hard to evict someone.

0:48:12.120 --> 0:48:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Because my stepfather used to own buildings. It's quite a

0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:17.439
<v Speaker 3>hard time. People like if you were in a place,

0:48:17.520 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 3>it's hard to get you out. So know your rights.

0:48:19.760 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 3>And also just man, I guess pray, you're gonna need prayer.

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:27.279
<v Speaker 3>This justification is it's not going nowhere. But it's also

0:48:27.480 --> 0:48:30.760
<v Speaker 3>it's all over the country though, like places like Austin

0:48:31.320 --> 0:48:33.960
<v Speaker 3>or like the New Williamsburg and like, but also like

0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:36.640
<v Speaker 3>also make sure to be involved in your in your buildings,

0:48:36.760 --> 0:48:37.479
<v Speaker 3>like your board.

0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:39.160
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of like and I don't even know

0:48:39.200 --> 0:48:40.200
<v Speaker 2>if my building got a board.

0:48:40.200 --> 0:48:41.480
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of tendants to know, there's a lot

0:48:41.520 --> 0:48:43.640
<v Speaker 3>of tennants groups they get together, like down the street

0:48:43.680 --> 0:48:45.920
<v Speaker 3>they were gonna raise the ring crazy amount. If this

0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:49.719
<v Speaker 3>complex over on Prospect and they fought it and won.

0:48:50.200 --> 0:48:51.680
<v Speaker 3>They got they got their rent to stay the same

0:48:51.719 --> 0:48:53.000
<v Speaker 3>for the last two years in a row because they

0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:55.160
<v Speaker 3>just organized and got together and have the media and

0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:58.600
<v Speaker 3>black people. It's black people in that building or building.

0:48:58.640 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 2>So the white people helped the black folks, but black

0:49:00.320 --> 0:49:02.640
<v Speaker 2>the black people were just angry and like leaving the

0:49:02.800 --> 0:49:03.520
<v Speaker 2>trash in front.

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Of the Definitely, they organize and fight it because some

0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:07.759
<v Speaker 3>people just assume it's gonna happen no matter what, and

0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:09.279
<v Speaker 3>they just like giving. But if you fight it, you

0:49:09.320 --> 0:49:13.040
<v Speaker 3>can definitely have a chance to win. Wow, Sidney, you

0:49:13.080 --> 0:49:15.200
<v Speaker 3>believe that. You believe in fighting with the board.

0:49:15.239 --> 0:49:17.600
<v Speaker 4>I've seen people fight these races and have it work

0:49:17.640 --> 0:49:18.000
<v Speaker 4>out for them.

0:49:18.120 --> 0:49:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I feel like even like, like all the neighborhoods

0:49:20.320 --> 0:49:22.000
<v Speaker 2>in Brookline are changing so much like Sydney's.

0:49:22.239 --> 0:49:23.920
<v Speaker 3>Like when I go to.

0:49:24.040 --> 0:49:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Bushwick and I see people like complaining about So I

0:49:28.840 --> 0:49:31.400
<v Speaker 2>was at a bar for a show last week and

0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:33.080
<v Speaker 2>we're all outside being loud and black.

0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:33.680
<v Speaker 3>That's what we do.

0:49:34.040 --> 0:49:36.359
<v Speaker 2>It was I don't know, maybe midnight, twelve thirty something

0:49:36.400 --> 0:49:38.400
<v Speaker 2>like that. But what day was it, I don't know,

0:49:38.560 --> 0:49:41.359
<v Speaker 2>like a Wednesday. Wednesday, and this white woman. We turn

0:49:41.400 --> 0:49:44.120
<v Speaker 2>around and she just appears and we're like just she

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:46.719
<v Speaker 2>was standing so close to us, and she was like,

0:49:46.880 --> 0:49:49.240
<v Speaker 2>there are two women trying to sleep across the street.

0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Can you please keep it down? And we were like,

0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you y'all live across from a bar in Bushwick. Bushwick

0:49:55.719 --> 0:49:58.200
<v Speaker 2>that used to be nothing but like loud Spanish folks

0:49:58.280 --> 0:49:59.800
<v Speaker 2>and louder Black folks.

0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:01.600
<v Speaker 3>And somebody got shot down.

0:50:01.520 --> 0:50:04.280
<v Speaker 2>The street from where I was talking to two days before.

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:05.719
<v Speaker 2>We were there, so I got it. And it's like,

0:50:05.800 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 2>did you go up to the person shooting?

0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:07.719
<v Speaker 3>Excuse me?

0:50:07.840 --> 0:50:11.440
<v Speaker 2>We're trying to do this leap to hit the bullets down.

0:50:11.440 --> 0:50:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Not even can you please use your silencer? Good sir,

0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:20.560
<v Speaker 3>good day? Like that's crazy.

0:50:21.200 --> 0:50:24.120
<v Speaker 2>All these neighborhoods have changed so freaking much.

0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:25.400
<v Speaker 3>I am baffled.

0:50:26.080 --> 0:50:27.799
<v Speaker 2>But then they changed the names of the neighborhood too,

0:50:27.840 --> 0:50:28.319
<v Speaker 2>like they're like, this.

0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Is not that in this neighborhood.

0:50:30.400 --> 0:50:33.120
<v Speaker 3>I went outside, there was I heard someone talking about

0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:36.920
<v Speaker 3>pro Crow, Prospect Crown Heights. Pro Crow. I'm so happy.

0:50:38.400 --> 0:50:38.919
<v Speaker 4>Pro Crow.

0:50:39.280 --> 0:50:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh well no, well, you know, like so Bedside is

0:50:42.200 --> 0:50:46.000
<v Speaker 2>a huge neighborhood. Crown Heights huge neighborhood, Flatbush, probably one

0:50:46.000 --> 0:50:49.480
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and they cut that up.

0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:53.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like Prospect Lefforts Gardens and Prospect Park South.

0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:55.560
<v Speaker 3>And it's like this realtor is trying to get a

0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:57.400
<v Speaker 3>little extra money. I'm saying, you live in this new

0:50:57.440 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 3>fancy neighborhood. It's not the same as it was before,

0:50:59.640 --> 0:51:01.239
<v Speaker 3>and it's it is.

0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:03.480
<v Speaker 2>You just got a new pizza shop, you got a

0:51:03.520 --> 0:51:06.640
<v Speaker 2>new vape shop, hooka bar, it's the same.

0:51:06.920 --> 0:51:09.600
<v Speaker 3>The bape shop is the fourth the fourth horseman of

0:51:09.680 --> 0:51:11.000
<v Speaker 3>the gentrification apocalypse.

0:51:11.160 --> 0:51:12.000
<v Speaker 2>That is wild.

0:51:12.120 --> 0:51:13.600
<v Speaker 3>All right, well, I think, Cidy, do you have any

0:51:13.680 --> 0:51:14.319
<v Speaker 3>questions for him?

0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I do.

0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, we're gonna give you eight. We're gonna give

0:51:16.719 --> 0:51:19.000
<v Speaker 2>you a quick quiz to see if you really are

0:51:19.080 --> 0:51:21.440
<v Speaker 2>our gentrification expert. Are you ready for this?

0:51:22.120 --> 0:51:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Ready? Okay, Sydney, go ahead?

0:51:23.680 --> 0:51:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:51:24.320 --> 0:51:30.440
<v Speaker 1>So the price of a bodega tomato was originally twenty

0:51:30.640 --> 0:51:32.680
<v Speaker 1>cents because of gentrification.

0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:34.719
<v Speaker 3>How much is it now? Oh, it's about three dollars.

0:51:37.400 --> 0:51:40.799
<v Speaker 4>You got a cold unfold your money.

0:51:41.640 --> 0:51:42.839
<v Speaker 3>You got an unfold your money.

0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:46.320
<v Speaker 4>You got unfolds of money today.

0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Digging the bottom of that bag.

0:51:46.600 --> 0:51:49.600
<v Speaker 2>But it is so real, and it's and it's a

0:51:49.800 --> 0:51:50.840
<v Speaker 2>full three dollars.

0:51:50.920 --> 0:51:56.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not like two dollars in ninety nine smaller.

0:51:56.960 --> 0:52:02.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a cherry tomato r that is so crazy. Okay,

0:52:02.920 --> 0:52:06.680
<v Speaker 2>so here's my question to you. Uh, twenty years ago,

0:52:07.480 --> 0:52:10.680
<v Speaker 2>you live on the second floor. You like yourself out

0:52:10.719 --> 0:52:13.240

<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm accepting that I'm not getting in at all.

0:52:29.600 --> 0:52:37.640

0:52:38.320 --> 0:52:39.520
<v Speaker 3>answers my prayers.

0:52:40.120 --> 0:52:41.880
