1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Yes, America dumb bombed Iran.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: Scary times, man, especially just looking at how much of

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: the commentary in the past has been actively trying to

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: avoid this and then like full on doing it with

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: little to no notice is wild.

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: Well, it's all. It's all scary for so many reasons.

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: But what I've heard is that you know, and there's

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: of course TikTok and beams like everyone's like, hey, I

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: don't want to let Ron know it wasn't me, I'm

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: on your side whatever, which is problematic in its own right,

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: because Iran is doing up to some shadiness right right,

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,240

00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: It does around. I was just trying to get in

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: the room because if for you who don't know, Mandy

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: was sending me all kinds of wrong links. I was

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: just happy to be able to get in the room finally.

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: in the audience live to watch the Shenanigans up close

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: before I edit out. You could actually hear what Chris

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: has to say.

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: Really love that, No way, I love that. Imagine actually

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: being fully behind the scenes like the whole time, and

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: only you get to see for what really goes on.

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: And then y'all can be like m I heard what

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Mandy had edited out was Chris said something smart and

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: she was too intimidated. She didn't want to.

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: You're like, because when I listened to the podcast, Chris

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: is only only for about ten seconds. I didn't know

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: he was in the whole time.

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: I wish there was more. But we're gonna, yeah, Chris,

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: is my favorite perk that I came up with in

00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: my brain is that you can join Brown Tables Live

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,320

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: take notes, you can point out if I have anything

50
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: problematic on the shelf behind me, like a child's toy.

51
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: Today I have the brand Ambition book Club pick sky

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: full of Elephants. Yes, I wish I could wrap all

53
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: my books like the library does right wpover.

54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: It's protected, just a nice little protected, protective book cover.

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't fall off like low Ki. I don't like

56
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: book jackets because they just they go flying.

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: Literally last night last night I was reading I just

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: started this new nonfiction book and I was reading it

59
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: in the bed and the freaking book jacket just kept

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: slipping and sliding, and I just threw the thing all right,

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: so annoying.

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: The aesthetic gone, so like, why don't they stick it?

63
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 3: Why why isn't it crintit on the cover itself? Maybe

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: it didn't last as long, I don't know.

65
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: No, it's more expensive because it's a separate manufacturing process.

66
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: When they just print the cover book of the book

67
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: with just fabric.

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: And then they can like switch it out. When you

69
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: become on the New York Times bestseller, they can just

70
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: put a sticker on it or change the text and

71
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: then just they don't got to reprint books.

72
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: That makes sense.

73
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: I do know. Let's do a quick little round of

74
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: life updates. We just came through June teenth. We do

75
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: bombed the country that actually the people who celebrated Juneteenth,

76
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: we had nothing to do with that exactly. Now.

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: Was that was that consulted on that decision?

78
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Not not at all. If Congress wasn't, then we definitely weren't.

79
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: You know what, I just want to real quick, I

80
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: want to give a shout out to the Studio Museum

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: in Harlem in New York City, because when I was

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: fifteen years old, I interned at the museum. I did

83
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: a special internship program which was for students that were

84
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: interested in the arts. And I was a baby, y'all.

85
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: It was two thousand and five, and they taught us

86
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: about Juneteenth and had us canvassing industry to educate the

87
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: community in Harlem about Juneteenth. To celebrate with the cookout,

88
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: they invited people into the community into the museum. They

89
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: had a whole exhibit showing James Vandersey's photography from the

90
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: Black Renaissance. And when I tell you, I was fifteen

91
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: years old, my little Dominican American self from Brooklyn had

92
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: never even heard of Juneteenth. And this was back in

93
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: two thousand and five. And I feel like now people

94
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: are starting to learn about Juneteenth and the history. And

95
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: I've been known since the early two thousands because of

96
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: the Studio Museum in Harlem, which has been doing a

97
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: lot of education. So shout out to them. I just

98
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: got to say.

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: That day, that's so cool.

100
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 3: I didn't learn about Juneteenth, and I was much older,

101
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: like it was that. Never once in school was it mentioned.

102
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: You just didn't even know it was the thing.

103
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: I just went to the barbecues. I didn't really put

104
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: two and three together the history cues we're hanging out.

105
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: It's just what black people do. I did not put

106
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: the two two the causes of a barbecue collinto college. Yeah,

107
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: but there's so much that we haven't learned. It's embarrassing.

108
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: But while I kind of got distracted by Juneteeth, though

109
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: I was in Atlanta for a few days for a

110
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: very exciting thing. I've been sharing a little bit with

111
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: BA fan about my dad's situation, and I love that

112
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: he has no idea how to ever listen to this

113
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: show because he has no idea how much of his business. No,

114
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: he straight up texted every time he's in the hospital,

115
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: not that he goes, he goes kind of off, but

116
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: he'll text me. Be like, don't y'all answer anyone's dms

117
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: from nosy neighbors or friends or family who wants to

118
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: know about my business? And I was like, well, the

119
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: fine print you did not include. I couldn't mention on

120
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: my podcast. Community got to kid me.

121
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: Yes yoge, which, oh my goodness, Congress your daddy, Congress

122
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: your family.

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: That is huge, girl, and huge, huge shout out to

124
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: my sister Mallory. She has a different father. She's not

125
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: a match for my dad. But she donated a kidney altruistically,

126
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: which is just because she wanted to. But the reason

127
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: she did it is because that bumped my dad up

128
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: the list. I think they said it was it could

129
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: take like up to three years for him to get

130
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: a kidney. Some people are on there for a decade

131
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: because you get kicked off, you get back on. But

132
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: all in all, it's it hasn't I don't know if

133
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: it's sunk in because it's been such an intense couple

134
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: of years with his health. But yeah, less than two years.

135
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: He has a brand new kidney. My sister donated back

136
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: in January. She had a by the way, she had

137
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: a ton of complications that I that were just terrible.

138
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: But she's come out mostly on the other side healthy,

139
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: my dad. And so it's January to now June, so

140
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: six months. And also his donate, his donate, his kidney

141
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: was donated by an altruistic donor in Indiana, So thank

142
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: you too, whoever that was.

143
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: That is so cool.

144
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: And uh, he's paying like a champ. No more dialysis.

145
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: Listen, listen with the little things that we take for

146
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: granted every day, like sitting on the toilet or standing

147
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: over the toilet.

148
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: It was so funny. Yeah, that catheter, that feedbag was

149
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: filled to the brim, leaders upon leaders of urine. Liquid gold.

150
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: Poor daddy, Oh, liquid gold them Dad.

151
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to why, you know, and I don't

152
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: want to. It's hard for me to ever talk about

153
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: it without getting on my on a little bit of

154
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: a pedestal about health and black communities because dialysis and when,

155
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: and especially in Atlanta, because like, we were driving in

156
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: my dad's hospital. He was in a Piedmont Atlanta staff

157
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: was amazing. He's now had open heart surgery there, he

158
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: had his kidney He's been there a lot. Yeah, well

159
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: I was. We were driving there, my brother and I

160
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: from Atlanta Airport to the hospital. We passed so many

161
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: dialysis clinics. It is big business, the business of black

162
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: and brown bodies that have been allowed to, you know,

163
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: develop chronic conditions that lead to kidney disease. It's high

164
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: blood pressure, it's diabetes. Those are the two biggest contributors

165
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: of kidney disease. And then what do you get when

166
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: someone is diagnosed with end stage renal failure. You get

167
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: a cash fucking cow because every chair you can fill

168
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: in a dialysis clinic, who's paying for that insurance, you know,

169
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: and they have to go three times.

170
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: A week, they see dollar signs. That's what they say.

171
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: They see dollar signs. And my dad is so I

172
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: can't even tell you. He is like so not the

173
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: norm for a man his age, in his sixties, with

174
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: his health background, to be what a giddy kidney as

175
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: fast as he did. My sister, I would say, used

176
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: her privilege in the best way possible to give him

177
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: a kidney, to give a kidney for him to get

178
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: bumped up the list. But and I'm not even talking

179
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: about We passed one place that blew my mind. It

180
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: was like, you go, if you're bench of Atlanta, it's

181
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: like strip clubs, gentlemen's clubs, dark, empty, you know, you know,

182
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: in some parts, right, but in like in the in

183
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: some parts. And we're driving down this road, I forget

184
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: what the rod was called. And then the belt line,

185
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: not the belt line, the belt line is gentrification but true.

186
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: And then to my left, I'm like, what the hell

187
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: is it look like? I was like, is that a

188
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: spa kidney? SPA was the name of it. It was

189
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: giving five star Ritz Carlton. Yes, in the middle of

190
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: the Gatau. So all that is to say, I'm so

191
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: damn grateful at the same time that my dad is

192
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: getting a brand new kidney and a new delisan life.

193
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: His brother, his fourth out of six siblings to have

194
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: end stage renal failure, and my uncle David's blind. He

195
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: already He's been in the hospital NonStop because one of

196
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: the complications is gangreen That's how people start losing their limbs,

197
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: like my aunt Sherry Lee, God rest her soul. One

198
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: of the last things happened before she died was she

199
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: lost a leg. Uncle David's in the hospital and they

200
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: are like amputating more and more bits of his leg,

201
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: like he just you know, is in hell. So, you know,

202
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: my siblings and I it was such a fast trip,

203
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: but like at a certain point we were just kind

204
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: of trying to absorb and like touch base on just

205
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: like our joint shared mission to break a bunch of

206
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: generational not just trauma, but generational curses, as my aunt

207
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: Brenda would say, and the the chronic health conditions in

208
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: my family. It's it's horrible, and I really hope that

209
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: we can be a part of that change. So that

210
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: was a lot, but I'm really happy for my dad.

211
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,119
Speaker 2: I feel like we're at that age too, like millennials,

212
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: maybe slightly older millennials who are transitioning from like enjoying

213
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: our parents and like older generations being these like older

214
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: mentor kind of figures and like just you know, turning

215
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: into grandparents or just like supporting us in different ways

216
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: as they're getting older, to now us being playing the

217
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: supportive role to them because now they're at age where

218
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: they're just older than older and to a point where

219
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: they need us. And it's I don't know about y'all,

220
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: but it's such a scary thing to experience firsthand. Like

221
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: I've watched my dad. He's now seventy six, he's going

222
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: to be this summer, and it's just so it just

223
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: it feels like it happened one day to the next.

224
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: It was like one day he was the funny, loud,

225
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: laughing jokester, and all of a sudden, now I see

226
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: him struggling to do basic things like get up off

227
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: the couch and you know, the stretches that he used

228
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: to do he can't do. And I'm like, oh, my gosh,

229
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: is it happening. Is it happening? Is happening? And I'm

230
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: watching it happen, and it's so so scary and bizarre

231
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: experience because he's always been in my mind like he's

232
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: always been like fifty years old, like at like a

233
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: static age where he doesn't change, And now it's just

234
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: I can't deny it anymore, you know, And it's just

235
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: like so heartbreaking.

236
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: Thank goodness you have so many siblings too. I'm really

237
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: grateful for my siblings.

238
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, big families and families that come through. Oh,

239
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: it's everything. It really does change change the game.

240
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: It's so weird to be like to kind of become

241
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: like a parent to your parents and how to tell

242
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: them what they should be doing, and like, hey.

243
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: Now, can't be saying that I'm going to get it.

244
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 3: It's the truth.

245
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: Though.

246
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: My dad wants to be like, you gotta.

247
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: Let them think. You gotta let them think that they're

248
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: in charge.

249
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: Shoes don't literally tind my dad's shoes. I was sweating.

250
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: That's a heavy leg. I put on socks and shoes

251
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: for little humans every day, but they're about this thing.

252
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: I was like that, I don't want it. First of all,

253
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to touch his feet like the way

254
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: I know I could not be a nurse. I'll put

255
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: them gloves on. No, they were crusty. He has not

256
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: been moisturized. Those are the things what is going on?

257
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: And nuwn as those feet shoes on and I'm like,

258
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: I was like, Dad, what are you gonna do? You need?

259
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: You need some slides. He's like, nah, I'm a sneaker.

260
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: Who's gonna put your shoes on?

261
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: Is a market? Is a market in the retirement homes

262
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: for pedicures apparently get something going.

263
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,479
Speaker 1: Sorry, I brought it up. I can talk about amplications,

264
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: I could talk about the pee tracker and all that,

265
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: but don't let me.

266
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 3: Oh. You know what, guys, they don't believe in moisturizing

267
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: their feet. You know, you put you just lotion. What

268
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: people can see you go up to you where your

269
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: sock is gonna go. And from there.

270
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: You know, guys without black girlfriends, Chris, you don't got

271
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,400

Speaker 1: right here, and you better be you better be lotion

273
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: in them angles.

274
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: Just don't understand it because sometimes you know, you don't

275
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: put lotion on your feet, you can be slipping on

276
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: the ground.

277
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: So I'm like house then when you sleep, when you

278
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: when you sleep, you cutting up your sheet. You don't,

279
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: you don't feel that.

280
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: Look everything everything the sun's gonna see. It's gonna get

281
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 3: some loasure. I'm not gonna walk around ashy. But the

282
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: feet sometimes they get skipped. Sometimes they get skipped. I'm

283
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: not gonna lie. Nobody's looking at them.

284
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,280

285
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: put the socks on. That that's the best tip I

286
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: can give you because the lotion and the moisture and

287
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: the warmth of the sock, it will do something for

288
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: the skin.

289
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: Just the.

Speaker 1: vapor rep. I will put it on everything, bug bites.

311
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Aquafor sunburned, aquafor.

312
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: It is life changing. When I was in Japan for

313
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: my birthday last year, I was riding a bike across

314
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: the Siddle Bridge and I looked over the bridge real

315
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: quick and while I turned my head, I lost that

316
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: when the bike fell off. The bike so embarrassing, y'all,

317
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: so embarrassing, fell off the like scraped my elbow and

318
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: my arm with I'm talking about like a gash, y'all,

319
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: not like a little scratch. And I put Aqua four

320
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: on that every single day, and when I tell you

321
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: eight days later, it looked like I never had a

322
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: cut in the first place. Aqua four will literally heal

323
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: any open wounds. I mean, Aqua four is seriously changing, y'all.

324
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: If you're not on it, get on that.

325
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: Use Coke Brown Ambition to get a free tub of

326
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: off for you know they don't sponsor.

327
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: Us yet, get your co grup, get your.

328
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: I want some real sponsors, like I don't want, you know,

329
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean no, I want the sponsors. I already have.

330
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: Let me not block my blessings. But I love vexed

Speaker 1: sponsors are fixed vapor rub. I want orange drink. I

333
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: don't know what that brand is called Crush whatever it is,

334
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: crush sh No, I don't want kidney spots. I'm like,

335
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: that's the center.

336
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: You have Dominigan kids. So if you do get vixed,

337
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: you have to save.

338
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: You have to. I don't even have any in my house,

339
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: told Elliott, I don't know. I have, like honest, I

340
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: literally have to.

341
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: I will send you with me.

342
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: But there's a brand called Freda for kids stuff, and

343
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: they have like a bougie eucalyptus oil and vix vapor

344
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: rub knockoff. Someone gave me that.

345
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that might be good for the kids because will

346
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: be like extra extra.

347
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: That brings me back to our very first round table

348
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: with y'all, because that was my story, all right. We

349
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: got to get into these headlines, y'all. Yes, America dumb

350
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: bombed Iran. I wanted to unless you'll have something to

351
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: say about conflicts in the Middle East, I just wanted

352
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: to like start thinking about personal finance implications. The one

353
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: that I've heard so far, Well, let me give pause

354
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: for any commentary on the state of our politics and

355
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: peacekeeping operations.

356
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: Girl, I have two brothers in the military, ones in

357
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: the Air Force and the other one is in the army,

358
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: So I was I was certainly scared. I mean, like,

359
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 2: I'm just praying that, you know, one or both of

360
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: them don't get deployed. But scary times, man, especially just

361
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: looking at how much of the commentary in the past

362
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: has been actively trying to avoid this and then like

363
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 2: full on doing it with little to no notice is wild.

364
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: It's wild, and it's definitely scary. I mean, even my

365
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: brothers who are both active military right now, like just

366
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to talk to them in depth,

367
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: but we're all in a family chat and when they can,

368
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: you know, pop in and like comments or likes of

369
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: what they're doing. One of them is in Lachlan Air

370
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: Force Base in Texas near San Antonio, a little bit

371
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: south of San Antonio. And then the other one is

372
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: currently in Tennessee, but he's just stationed there. He just

373
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: got back from Romania because they were doing some some

374
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: like intervention on like Ukraine situations. They were like on

375
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: the outskirts Romania, like just setting up some camps and

376
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: just trying to keep eye and keep watching soil. He

377
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: got back from Romania literally just a couple months ago,

378
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: so it's a little heartbreaking to see like he just

379
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: got back. He's finally back home and just so excited

380
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: to be able to see some of his friends and

381
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: maybe get some time off and for family. And then

382
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: immediately like his Fourth of July request was denied. He

383
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: can't see us for fourth of July. Like there's so

384
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: many things where it's like immediately nope, going right back,

385
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: And it is heartbreaking because the kid's been he's been

386
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: he's been working really really hard. Like this poor kid

387
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 2: has been rocking. Sometimes he'll send us notes to just

388
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: be like hey guys, like I have to do eight

389
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: mile rock this morning with like twice my weight on

390
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: my back, Like that's my morning, Like that's what I'm

391
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: doing today. And I'm like, damn, Like this kid is

392
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: putting in work, physical work, and to then turn around

393
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: and be told, Nope, you can't even get three days

394
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: off to go see your family. So kind of sucks.

395
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: That's the last time you saw him probably Christmas last year. Yeah,

396
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: so over six months ago now, But.

397
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: That's the really heartbreaking thing. And well it's all it's

398
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: all scary for so many reasons. But what I've heard

399
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: is that you know, and there's of course TikTok and

400
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: beams like everyone's like, hey, I don't want to let

401
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: Ron know it wasn't me. I'm on your side whatever,

402
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: which is problematic in its own right because Iran is

403
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: doing up to some shadiness right right. But the people

404
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: who are really at risk are in my what I've

405
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: heard is military personnel stationed in the Middle East because

406
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: Iran can reach them with their weapons, with their.

407
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: Missiles pretty directly. Ye yep.

408
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: So I just pray keep them in my thoughts in prayers,

409
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: and God damn commander in chief didn't know you could

410
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: have weapons. Fomo just couldn't couldn't let be b, couldn't

411
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: let Benjamin utt and ya who have all the fun

412
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: So it said, you know what put me in Let's go,

413
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: I'll bring my toys to the play to the play date,

414
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: you bring your toys. Let's let's blow some shit up.

415
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: It's how it felt.

416
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: It's like a pissing contest. I'm like, are you kidding me?

417
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me right now, that's not that's not

418
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: let's not do that.

419
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: Let's not especially when it's treated as if like these

420
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 3: are like not human lives involved in this too. I

421
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: think sometimes it gets it's so easy.

422
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: For oh, they don't give a shit about hum.

423
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: Yes, aren't people on the ground and all where it's like,

424
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: you know, like people can't. I just can't. I think

425
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: that's what hits me so hard is like I can't

426
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: imagine like that being your life. You're just there trying

427
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: to raise your family, live your life, and then all

428
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 3: of a sudden, this is what happens to where you live.

429
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 3: You throw it into chaos, Like what does even look

430
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: like anymore? What does life even look like after that?

431
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 3: So it's it's really painful to see people going through that.

432
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: And also like, yeah, he was saying, like are people

433
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: who here who are in the military, who now you know,

434
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: didn't ask me a part of this and now they're

435
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 3: part of it.

436
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: Well it seems trivial, but I did want to do

437
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: some research into what potential personal finance implications there may be.

438
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: I think we're already starting to see one of the

439
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: most noticeable everyone's talking about eggs, but it's also gas prices,

440
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: and Americans are very tied too, so those are likely

441
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: to spike. I think they have already. I think gas

442
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: or sorry oil, which oil prices are tied to gasoline

443
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: prices at the pump, has already shot up to over

444
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a barrel and likely to keep spiking.

445
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: So we may see gas increase, and y'all know, then

446
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: people go at the gas station, they start, you know,

447
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: hoarding gas, and then we get inflation, which brings me

448
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: to the next thing, which is inflation in general. So

449
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: the tie, my understanding is the tie with inflation is

450
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: that oil prices are a big driver of that. So

451
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: one study by Oxford Economics estimates that when oil reaches

452
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty dollars per barrel, that could push

453
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: inflation in the US to six percent by the end

454
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: of the year. Wow, ain't we just get this under control? Right?

455
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 2: It just got back to a regular rate, which would

456
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: has been the goal for so long. We were at

457
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 2: nine percent, eight percent, seven. Now we're finally down three

458
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: to four, and now we're going back up to six.

459
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: Potentially that would be so scary if it does go

460
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 4: back up like that because people are just now finally

461
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 4: adjusting to things feeling normal again, I think after being

462
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 4: with such high inflation, and of course a lot of

463
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 4: that was due to COVID and things like that, but

464
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: it just feels like.

465
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: We finally somewhat started to bounce back, and it just

466
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: feels like you can't catch a break.

467
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: Chris my ninja googler, because you seem how you somehow

468
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: know how to Google without making your whole computer shake,

469
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: which I can't do. Because it's like, did you look

470
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: up really quick what the oil is right now? Per barrel?

471
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm seeing now, I'm seeing eighty dollars per I thought.

472
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: It was eighty dollars the last time I read up

473
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 2: on it, which was like a day ago, two days ago.

474
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris, check right quick, which could be because so

475
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: far Iran hasn't blocked this crucial shipping container canal. It's

476
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: called the straight of or Mooves.

477
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

478
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if they do end up blocking that, which

479
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: could be in retaliation, I don't think they have so far.

480
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: It's hard, right ba Fam, You're gonna hear this on Wednesday.

481
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: We're recording this Monday afternoon, So who knows what the

482
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: world could look like by then. But it's something that

483
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: we'll be looking at, is the oil prices and then

484
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: the tie into inflation. When energy goes up, it hits

485
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: all the things y'all get in Amazon shipments, we're getting

486
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: the cost of oh my god, cooling our houses. We're

487
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: in the middle of a heat wave here in New York,

488
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: so we could see prices the places.

489
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, right. I was just in Texas a

490
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, and who it was burning hot

491
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 2: in Houston. I was in Houston. Then I was in

492
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: Dallas and oh my goodness. I couldn't even step outside.

493
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: I was like, nope, I'm good to stay inside in

494
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: the ac So imagine if that's happening doing a heat wave, It's.

495
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: That'd be rough. My cucumbers are struggling, y'all. I had

496
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: to put up some shade cover. I'm sorry. We have

497
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: what is this breaking? We have an update from Chris

498
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: Chris Browning in the field. Yes, Chris, give us your update.

499
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: Oh, we have an update at a crude oil prices.

500
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 3: We're looking at prices between seventy and seventy five dollars

501
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: per barrel, depending on what you're checking. All right, right now,

502
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 3: that's where it's at.

503
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: Is that typical.

504
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 3: Oh, I can get back to you with that soon.

505
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: I don't know off the top of my head at all.

506
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Chris going back into that undercover Google, thank you,

507
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: thank you very much for your deep research. Chris Chris Browning,

508
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco in his bedroom. Supply chain disruptions again, that

509
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: could be if they close that canal cyber attacks. This

510
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: is the one that freaks me out because I don't

511
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: know if it would impact Like has there been an

512
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: Iranian cyber attack that's impacted everyday Americans? I can't remember.

513
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: I just know that they have been attacking, like I

514
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: know they've been behind some key political figures getting hacked.

515
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: But there was some discussion about potentially hospitals being a

516
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 1: target for cyber attacks. Apparently they're like a huge target

517
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: and a weak one because I'm guessing because hospitals come

518
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: in all different shape sizes, and they have their own

519
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: systems and there's no like nationwide protection. It's up to

520
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: each hospital individually. But that's scurry.

521
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: That makes sense too, because it's hard for medical institutions

522
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: to keep up in general, and let alone with technology

523
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: that's hard to keep up with period.

524
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: Chris Chris Browning, any word on.

525
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is that it's actually been pretty low.

526
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: It's been rising over the past several years, but you know,

527
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 3: it's like between seventy and eighty bucks the past two years.

528
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: It looks like it peaked around ninety bucks in twenty

529
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: twenty two, and then it was like sixty eight and

530
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, thirty nine and twenty twenty just because

531
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: obviously the pandemic. So it's getting towards a higher end

532
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: of what we see in the past ten.

533
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: Years that would track with inflation. So okay, all right,

534
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: we'll keep eyes on that. Thanks so much, Christopher Browning.

535
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: That was again, Christopher brown ng hard Ing.

536
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: Let's not forget that that last part there.

537
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: Very important, very important women ally.

538
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: Ally and a nonviolent peacekeeper.

539
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. I am curious though, like because

540
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: it's been like the attitude towards like electric vehicles have

541
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 3: kind of been shifting a little bit here in the US.

542
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: I feel like people were starting to be like, well,

543
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: I mean one company in particular when I have to

544
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: mention them, but there's a lot of other companies who

545
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: make electric cars that we'll talk about. But I wonder

546
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: we'll gas because there one A gas is like a

547
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 3: driver for people wanting to go to hybrids and then

548
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 3: electric cars eventually. So I wonder, is it going to

549
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 3: be like, hey all, you are hating on like green

550
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: like initiatives, but electric cars, more solar, more alternative fuel sources.

551
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 3: It may be a driver, even though an environment where

552
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 3: that's not being supported and with regulations, if the people

553
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 3: want it, it might be a driver to push us

554
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: in that direction more.

555
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: Right, if the demand is there.

556
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm really getting into my prepper bag right now, y'all.

557
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: And I just feel like, I mean, I don't blame you.

558
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: I want solar panels so bad. My tiny little root

559
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: can't handle them. There's not enough square footage apparently, but

560
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: once they get more efficient, I will be getting solar panels.

561
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: I just want to be I want to be more

562
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: sustainable myself. And I mean, yes for the environment sustainable,

563
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: but also like.

564
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: For life, self sustaining.

565
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: Self sustaining, like I have a literal farmstead outside my

566
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: house now that I'm going with my and I blame

567
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: Mickey Kendall, who was on the podcast this week. I

568
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: interviewed her a month or two ago. She's the author.

569
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: Have you heard of that book Hood Feminism?

570
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah right.

571
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: Can we talk to you all about Mickey yet? So

572
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: I had her on the podcast and I almost forgot

573
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: how she Oh it just came out. Yeah, it just

574
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: came out this week or sorry, on Friday. It was

575
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: supposed to come out Monday, but I pushed it out

576
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: earlier because once we hit it on, I was like,

577
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: I got to get Mickey out here because she is

578
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: an historian. I mean, she has like a PhD in history,

579
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: and she's a brilliant woman. But she really laid it

580
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: out in academic terms and just you know, but also

581
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: straight talking terms, how history is repeating itself and how

582
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: the only solution she's come up with so far as

583
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: community and prepping and getting ready for potential civil war

584
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: potential you know, lack of resources and next thing, you know,

585
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm growing tomatoes and cucumbers and obsessed.

586
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: She got through to you, She got through to you. Yeah.

587
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me know. I'll be cannon tomatoes shipping them across.

588
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: The country Mandy's tomatoes Dand I'm looking forward to it.

589
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, Well, should we leave Iran behind? I feel like, I.

590
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: Mean, I think I think it's tough for me at least,

591
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: it's really tough. I haven't I've kind of refrained from

592
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: posting content about like oh, how they're on, how this

593
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: is iron Ta's going to affect your finances. It's like

594
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: I know that that that that that's kind of stuff

595
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: that people use to get clicks. But as a content creator,

596
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: I cannot get myself to do it. I have two

597
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: brothers actively serving right now. I can't sit here and

598
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: go your your bank account and your investment portfolio. Here's

599
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: an opportunity here, let's just what we can learn from it.

600
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: I just i'd rather me personally, I just rather I

601
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: just rather stay quiet. I just rat to stay quiet.

602
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: I've talked about other things, but it's just it's just

603
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: so hard when people take this and make it like

604
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: the butt of the content type of thing, and it

605
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: feels so heavy and it feels so much much bigger.

606
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: So I'm just I'm very careful about the content I'm

607
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: creating right now, but also just what I'm seeing too,

608
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: just like making note of it, like oh okay, okay,

609
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: because we don't want to I don't know, we just

610
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 2: don't want to perpetuate that, like war is an opportunity

611
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: for your portfolio like that that is so that is

612
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: so cringe eck, and just want to vomit. I want

613
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: to see stuff like that. So I just am trying

614
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: to be aware of it. But I love I love

615
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: that you said, like, hey, let's just address some potential

616
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: impacts of it on your personal finances and not focus

617
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: on like what opportunities you can get like that is wild.

618
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: That framing to me is just so disgusting.

619
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: No, it really is, and it's it's I think it's

620
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: interesting like us as people talk about like money all

621
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: the time and finances in a time where there's so

622
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: much other things outside of that that are happening in

623
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: the world that it becomes really difficult to like find

624
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: want to find purpose in talking about it and not

625
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: be like there's so much like this is the world's

626
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: going crazy and it's like everyone's lines are on hold,

627
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: and it's like it's so hard to hear that and

628
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: then be like, hey, let's talk about top saving stuffs.

629
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, just it feels so it feels very hard.

630
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why I've been doing nothing but gardening. I'll

631
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: go to my ig and I'm like, h what should

632
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: I post. Oh, I have nothing but gardening content, and

633
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: it's fine. Anybody got to hear from us.

634
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: Sometimes exactly, sometimes it's better to be quiet and just

635
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: participate in reading the little book. Check on people offer

636
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: the resources to support help, but not necessarily just add

637
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: noise to the mix, right, Like I did get somebody

638
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: called me out. I posted a video about how important

639
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: financial literacy was and how teens can start early with

640
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: investment accounts and stuff, and somebody commented, this is valuable information,

641
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: but it feels so tone deaf right now, when our

642
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: COMMUNI is really being attacked and struggled this way. And

643
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: I said, listen, I one hundred percent hear you. When

644
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: I was talking on this exact live that I got

645
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: this minute bite from, I talked about how students need

646
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: to learn about taxes early, and high school courses allowed

647
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: you to learn that, including the fact that undocumented immigrants

648
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: paid over ninety billion dollars of taxes. So I'm not

649
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: ignoring it. It's just really hard. But I totally understand

650
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: her position. Like I saw the comment and I was like,

651
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: I'm not even going to be I'm not even going

652
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: to be aggressive or ever Stereo here I just was like, yes, this,

653
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: I hear you. I'm with you on this. I spoke.

654
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 2: I use my platform when I can't to speak on it.

655
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: I completely get it. But I'm also not going to

656
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 2: stop fighting the good fight that I've been fighting, that

657
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: my calling is to fight for, which is for access

658
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: to financial education for all of us in this country.

662
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: You can see a post from someone that's like from

663
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,000

Speaker 1: I've got someone thinking of ice. There's some really happy news.

671
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: This first sentence in this article gave me chills as

672
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: I was just reading it, even though I already knew

673
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: the news. But my Mood Khalil, this is the sentence

674
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: ma Mood Khalil emerged from the airport gate fist raised

675
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: and smiling to a cheering crowd as he pushed his

676
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: newborn baby stroller with his arm around his wife. My

677
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: mood is free, y'all. He got out. I'm mad they

678
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: put him through Newark International Airport because y'all know Newark.

679
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: They could have they could have done they could have

680
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: done the guardios, they could have done the guardious right there.

681
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: Right, even if they take the JFK. But he's out,

682
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: So that's some happiness. He should not have been there

683
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: in the first place. But to part him with his

684
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: newborn baby. I had forgotten that his wife was pregnant,

685
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: extremely pregnant when this man was kidnapped.

686
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: Yesh, So imagine having to experience that. Oh my goodness,

687
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

688
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

689
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: The injustice and the fact that some lawmakers are using

690
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: this on their social media profiles to say, now that

691
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: he's back, we can sentence him, now, we can get

692
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: him in the court, now we can figure out what

693
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: he did wrong. Is like, wait a minute, Now we

694
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: can celebrate that he's free. What are you talking about?

695
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: It is wild how people sway things and twisting. Oh

696
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: my goodness, I can't.

697
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: Well, let's focus on the positive. He was with that

698
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: cute baby on.

699
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: Lli, I know, cute baby and his wifey and AOC

700
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: was there to greet him and welcome him.

701
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: No, AOC. It was a little bit awkward. I think

702
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: when he rushed it, he think he was going to

703
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: hug some loved ones, and he kind of pushed her

704
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: out of the way.

705
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: She should have.

706
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: Been like, oh, please, yeah, war here, carry your bag

707
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: for you. People were saying like, oh, she shouldn't have

708
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: been there, it was a photo op or whatever.

709
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: I think it's fine if she was there. I just

710
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: don't think she should have been like the first person

711
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: he hoped he got off the butt. I mean, you

712
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 2: know it is no no, but one of the you know,

713
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: one of the first few people. It's like, I think

714
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: I would have waited, and once all that stuff was gone,

715
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: I'd be like, hey, I just want you to know

716
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: I'm here and I wanted to see you and support

717
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: you and welcome you back. But I wouldn't make it

718
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: about me, per se. I don't think she did. But

719
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 2: if people are complaining to say, oh, she shouldn't have

720
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: been up there in the forefront, like she still should not,

721
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: it's not fair to say she shouldn't be there exactly.

722
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think that's fair to say, like

723
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: not being their period is crazy.

724
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 3: It's crazy because is the time when you need to

725
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: see that there are government people in the government who

726
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 3: are supporting the right side, right, and they're not the

727
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: right side, but the correct side, you know of like hey,

728
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: like there are people fighting to make sure this doesn't

729
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 3: continue to happen to people.

730
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and making sure her face is connected.

731
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: And she has been so outspoken trying to get.

732
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 2: Him out, Yeah, trying to end this dehumanizing rhetoric. At

733
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 2: the end of the day, Like, I think that's what

734
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: she has been all about. So for her to be there,

735
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: I think was totally fine as long as there was

736
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: no intention to make it all about her, which I didn't.

737
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: I didn't get that sense at all.

738
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, people are rallying and support of him, and again,

739
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: like the conflict in Gaza, not the conflict is too

740
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: small of a word. The genocide, the brutality that's happening

741
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: in Gaza is still happening. So people like him who

742
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: are speaking out, I think time for American citizens, as

743
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: scary as it can be, it's almost like we have

744
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: a privilege being a citizen because they are actively trying

745
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: to target non US citizens or people who were here

746
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: at immigration visas, target those who have spoken down against

747
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: what's happening in the middle of what's happening in Palestine,

748
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: in Gaza, what's been happening for Are we going on

749
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: two years now? Jeez?

750
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, depending on how you define the conflict,

751
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: this is the question.

752
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: Well since October seventh. Oh, yes, you're so right, of course, yes, yeah,

753
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: that was my first One of my first impressions of

754
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: New York was coming here biking past the UN in

755
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: twenty ten and seeing the protesters outside the UN with

756
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: the Palestinian flags and being like, well, what's that about,

757
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: and just not really understanding. But yeah, it continues to

758
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: rage on. And yes, two years since October seventh, and

759
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: many decades that they have been and brutalized in this way,

760
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, it's really heavy. But I think what

761
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: I was just trying to say is like, as US citizens,

762
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: I hope we would have some measure of protection, even

763
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: more so than those who who may feel afraid for

764
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: their families, lives, their lives, their ability to continue working,

765
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: studying living here. So if you can, you know, and

766
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: I think in this small way talking about it helps

767
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: platform their message totally at a time when they're being

768
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: targeted yep.

769
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: And not being afraid to speak out even though they're

770
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: trying to scare us straight scare scare us silent really

771
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: is what they're trying to do. I mean, if you

772
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 2: look at the potential the prospective mayoral candidate Lander in Brooklyn,

773
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 2: New York, who was like silenced and violently like put

774
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 2: up against the wall by like by the ice officers

775
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: because because he was trying to speak up.

776
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: This was a was he running from there?

777
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon Lander, He's running from there in New York City.

778
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: It's too many of them. I can't keep.

779
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: Tracks, y'all.

780
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: It's like my knee want to text me.

781
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: My niece texted me literally, she was like THEA, I

782
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: think I might need your help. Is this like a

783
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: multiple choice test? Is just like how do I do

784
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: this for him? I said, baby, you got to rank

785
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: themb Honey, that you means you got to put you

786
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: got to bubble all of them in the spot. And

787
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: don't bubble two numbers for one person, and don't bubble

788
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: one person for the same number, two people for the

789
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: same number. It's literally like the most confusing process. I

790
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 2: feel sorry for my New York because like there are

791
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: people literally who don't understand and they want to do. Yeah,

792
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: they wanted to do the research. They wanted to understand,

793
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 2: but it's such a complex system and process, and there's

794
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: so many players, there's so many characters to just even

795
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 2: get familiar with. And oh my goodness, but I am

796
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: very proud of.

797
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: Such a terrible track record with choosing mayors. I'm saying

798
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: we I don't live in New York City anymore, but.

799
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: All of us were all responsible, you know, we are responsible.

800
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: We're like, we're like because Paddy, who doesn't know she's

801
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: a baddie and it's like with a trash We're like

802
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: Hallie Bailey and these mayors are like, who's her boy?

803
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: Her ex ddp ddposdd, whatever.

804
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: His name was.

805
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: It was like, was it his twitch name that I'm

806
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: thinking of? Whatever? The manchild?

807
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 2: Right, accurate description work.

808
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: But the twenty fourth is tomorrow, that's when they'll be

809
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: That's the primary, right.

810
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: Yes, And I think New York is very is very

811
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 2: much so desperately trying to feel relatable to the people

812
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: who are in charge. We desperately want to get rid

813
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 2: of these people who come up there and are condescending

814
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: and are talking down at us and are doing politics

815
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: as usual with their corruption behind the scenes. And so

816
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: instead we want to pick people who look like us,

817
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: sound like us, talk like us, act like us. But

818
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: we focus so much, we over index on the relatability

819
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: that we don't focus on what are the actual credentials,

820
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: what's actually happening, what is this person actually about. And

821
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: I'm not, you know, here to to talk crap about anybody,

822
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: but the mayor who used to be the Brooklyn or president.

823
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 2: I had some experience working with in the capacity of

824
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Borough President, and I had seen firsthand working with

825
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Borough President's office how a lot of it

826
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 2: was all talk and a lot of it was yah, yeah, yeah,

827
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: yeah yeah. And then when you follow through, when you

828
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: follow up, there was there was no follow through. It

829
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: was like all talk. Oh, we definitely could make a

830
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: press release out of that, we can make it a

831
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 2: pres event, we could take pictures, but no meaning, no

832
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 2: actual impact, no real true commitment to goals and to

833
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: a long term project plan. And so I early on

834
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 2: was like, Hugh, I don't know about this, and I'm

835
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: from Brooklyn. So of course everyone that I knew was like,

836
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 2: what you made out Brooklyn Borough president. He got to

837
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 2: be mayor, and then all of a sudden, all this

838
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: stuff starts coming out once once this person is mayor,

839
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: and people are like, get him out, he's trashed. I'm like,

840
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: you were the ones who were blindly supporting because how relatable.

841
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: And so we got to stop over indexing for the

842
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 2: things that New Yorkers love, which is the real talk,

843
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: straight talk, talk to me, shay, you know, no bs.

844
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 2: But this is why so many people actually who voted

845
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: for Trump also voted for AOC. Weird right, you would think, wait,

846
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 2: what how you're gonna because people over index for straight talk,

847
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: real talk, no hearing your tongue. You say it like

848
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: it is. You're not about the BS. You have to

849
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: you know, anti establishment. You just say what you And

850
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: that is truly what I think the mistake is in

851
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: New York City is we so hard over index for that.

852
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: We got to cut that out, y'all. We I mean,

853
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 2: I say, we I live in Miami now, but I'm

854
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: in New Yorker today. I died. We need to stop.

855
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: We need to cut that out.

856
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: We love an extrovert, Like, we need to really value

857
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: the quiet. I mean, we almost elected that Uma Aberdeen's trash, Like,

858
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: wasn't he about to her? Ex pervert? And now I'm like,

859
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: but the fact that Andrew Cuomo thinks he has has

860
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: a real shot. Bill Clinton is on the stump for him,

861
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, throw them both away.

862
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 2: Til I was so shocked when I saw that Clinton.

863
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you're trying to.

864
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 2: You Bill for people respect you Bill respected you Bill?

865
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: What is going on?

866
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: He's like really old? Now he's like whatever, I'll show up.

867
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: How do I pivot from that to Megan and the

868
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: Stallion on Love Island? I don't know if I'll even go.

869
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: You know what, I have a little bit of a

870
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 2: pivot because while you were talking about why New Yorkers

871
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 2: are always conned by people that we vote for, I

872
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: was about to bring up Ace. I felt like a

873
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 2: a yes, because I feel like Ace is the perfect

874
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,479
Speaker 2: example for an analogy here, because when you start watching

875
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: the show, you just love Ace. You just love Ace

876
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 2: because you know he's so real, he's so rough, so

877
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: Jenue down to Then all of a.

878
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: Sudden, a couple of episodes in and you're like, we

879
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: hate him for Shelley.

880
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: Ace, What the hell are you doing? All these old

881
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: heroier motives?

882
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 3: Ace?

883
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: What the f And this is truly a great connection

884
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 2: to what we just talked about New York with politics,

885
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 2: because this is how people operate. They come out the woodwork,

886
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 2: they're all positive upfront. Then over time you start to

887
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: see the ulterior motives that they had all along. Hello, Ace,

888
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 2: what's up?

889
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Like?

890
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 2: Why is he so messy? Why is what is the vindictiveness?

891
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 4: Child?

892
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 2: What is with this Ace behavior?

893
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: Like?

894
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: I was so upset, Like I just saw the episode

895
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 2: where he convinced all the boys to vote Jeremiah off.

896
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: Sorry if that's a spoiler for anybody listening, but you

897
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 2: know how.

898
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: You going, how you I don't watch the votings. They

899
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: annoy me. I will fast forward and just get to

900
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: the good stuff. So I think I missed all of that,

901
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: But was it, teacher to go back and watch it?

902
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: You should? And honestly, what I do is I.

903
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: Just nater Jeremiah too. He was such a dick.

904
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So literally America voted and they basically put the

905
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: three girls and the three boys who had the least

906
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 2: votes from America up on the front of the fire

907
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: pit whatever. And so then there were six people, three girls,

908
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 2: three guys, and the rest of the cast members who

909
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: were safe had to vote off one girl, one guy.

910
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: Girls had to vote off one girl, and the guys

911
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: had to vote off one guy. So literally, earlier in

912
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 2: the episode, you see Ace moving to Nick and to Austin,

913
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: and so all his boys like, oh, you guys, you

914
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: see how Jeremiah was all love bombinghood and now he's

915
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: doing the same thing.

916
00:42:59,400 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 4: Now he's doing this.

917
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 2: You see da da da, And he was like working

918
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: his little influence on them. And so when the vote happened,

919
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I think I can speak for everyone

920
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: who watches the show, and I say, we all thought

921
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: Austin was going his ass home. Austin has no business

922
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: in the house. Don't nobody like him, don't nobody like him,

923
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: don't know about it.

924
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: Before the despicable display during the work challenge with Megan

925
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: thee Stallion, I hate him more after the way he

926
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: is treating Homegirl Dominican homegirl. What's her name?

927
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: Andrena, Well, there's two Amaya with a little bit of

928
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 2: a little bit of Andrea was raised in Spain, but

929
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 2: she's from the win Public. Okay, she was Spain, lives

930
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: in Jersey. Yeah, she's She's from a lot of places.

931
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 2: She said, I live in New Jersey, but I'm Dominican,

932
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: but my family from but I was raised in Spain,

933
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 2: so all the oldest places. But but yeah, I think

934
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 2: I know.

935
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: Austin gives me such the eck. You know his family

936
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: and he's from Michigan. I just can't take it.

937
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 2: I mean, look, if there was even one person who

938
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 2: was interested in Austin, actually I would have been fine.

939
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: But Amaya, she's just trying to pretend she's interested in

940
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: Austin because she needs to be safe. She needs a

941
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: way to stay on this damn I villa. She doesn't

942
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: have one. She doesn't have one prospect, so if she

943
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 2: doesn't make a prospect, she's out the villa. So she

944
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: had to pretend she likes Austin. Austin doesn't like her.

945
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: Austin doesn't like anyone, So send his ass home. Oh no, no,

946
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 2: they send Jeremiah home, even though he genuinely was into

947
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: Hoodah tried with Iris but then she was like, nah boo,

948
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 2: I feel like we're platonic. And then now he's into

949
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: Andrena They just jealous that he's with Andrena, so they

950
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: kicked his ass out, and I'm just like, how are

951
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 2: you gonna tell me that it's because he didn't actually

952
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 2: tried with women when he tried with three women. And

953
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: not only that, but Tay. I love Taylor, but like,

954
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 2: what woman besides the laundria the Taylor tried to get

955
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: with Amen exploring who is he? Exploring way why does

956
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: he get to stay? Why he's safe in the village?

957
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,160

Speaker 3: I know what you two are talking about, because because

970
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 3: I went down to La to visit my family. Was

971
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: a baby shower going on from a brother and then

972
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 3: it was Father's Day and my mom was I walk

973
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 3: in and she's watching Love Island. I didn't know what

974
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 3: this was. I was like, you're watching was it? When

975
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 3: I think it was Love is Blind. I was like,

976
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 3: love is Blind or something. I was one of the

977
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 3: love shows. No, it's Love Island. And I'm like, what

978
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 3: are you watch it? And so she was like, you

979
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 3: want to watch it with me? I was like, not really,

980
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 3: but I was. I was like, I don't want to

981
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: be mean, so you know what here it.

982
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: Was a bunch of girls with a bikini, So you said.

983
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it can't be all bad. So I sat

984
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 3: down and I watched it. It was like it was

985
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 3: a pretty ten episode. I was like, okay, whatever, you know.

986
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: She was. She was happy. I decided to spend time there.

987
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 3: But then the next day another episode came on. I'm like,

988
00:45:55,640 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 3: this is on again. She's like, I'm like, I thought

989
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: this was like a what's a week? Show? Houses on

990
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 3: every day every day? I said.

991
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: The track, film.

992
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: Crew, that film crew, and those editors they were.

993
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 3: They were working those people their death in the editing.

994
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: Room, overnight, post edit, overnight posts.

995
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 3: Yes is wild. And so I sit down and this

996
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 3: is one where there's like some lumberjack challenge and I'm

997
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 3: like they start they started grinding. I was like, hold up,

998
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 3: I'm not watching this with you. I gotta leave.

999
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 2: I was like, that's a awkward.

1000
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm not watching.

1001
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 3: I cannot be in this room.

1002
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: Soft point, I said, soft point, let's call it.

1003
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: It's bad.

1004
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 3: I said, you nasty for watching this. I'm out.

1005
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: I couldn't be on. That's why I could have be

1006
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: on Like TV TV, it has to be on. Peacock

1007
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: has to be on the streamer right.

1008
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 2: Let your fama reminisce she was a bad.

1009
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 3: I don't want to we're not even talking about that.

1010
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 3: I'm not there. I don't want to think about that.

1011
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: We don't need to.

1012
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: We watched The Megan thee Stallion and one y'all love this.

1013
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: The day my dad got out of the hospital. I

1014
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: turned that on. I was like, we're gonna get Magian food.

1015
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: We're going to watch The Megan thee Stallion. It was

1016
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: so good. Meg.

1017
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: First of all, I don't love her personality.

1018
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: She's faddy, unreal, doesn't make sense, and she's talented, but that's,

1019
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, the first and foremost.

1020
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know she was. I may myself have to

1021
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 3: go cue that episode just to understand what you were

1022
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 3: talking about and then go back and see what was going.

1023
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: On with anthropological research.

1024
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: Just for research purposes for sure, for just research. But

1025
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 2: Megan was is so natural and so genuine. You know,

1026
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 2: there's so many people that come on and it's forced

1027
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: and it's fake. Meg is actually a fan of the show.

1028
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: She knew the details intimately, and yeah, she was there

1029
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 2: to promote. She was there to promote a little bit

1030
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 2: bathing suit line. But so what she did it in

1031
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: a very natural, genuine way, mad respect. I love that episode.

1032
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: I one hundred percent enjoyed it. And she added a

1033
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 2: lot of fun and flared to that episode.

1034
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: So I love the marketing tie in. I thought, well,

1035
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: this is lovely. Is she a fan? But she has

1036
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: a swimsuit line coming out? Will I ever wear it?

1037
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: Maybe the one with like the mad underboob, like the

1038
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: one the one that the kind of witchy one was wearing.

1039
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 2: She she is witchy. She is witchy, like she's brewied.

1040
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: She pour in a big old yeah, like I feel

1041
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: like she's got crystals under her boots at all times,

1042
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 1: and probably some tarot cards. I bet she does everyone's

1043
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: readings and like kind of white girl dreads. Sometimes I

1044
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: got scared one time, but they're not actually dread it's

1045
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: just a little braids. She was doing. But she does braids.

1046
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 2: She does braids. I will tell you though, she is

1047
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 2: the one that I am most impressed with in terms

1048
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 2: of her maturity level for the age of twenty five.

1049
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 2: I mean the way that she carries.

1050
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: Herself away pretty old island. No, is she twenty five.

1051
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: I just assume she's twenty five. But I feel like

1052
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 2: for their age, being in your twenties, I don't. I

1053
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: just feel like they're all so immature. I mean, Hudda

1054
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 2: is the queen of saying I'm so mature. I'm a

1055
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 2: girl's girl, and she's immature and not a girl's girl,

1056
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: so it's crazy. But then you have Sierra, who genuinely

1057
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,479
Speaker 2: is a girl's girl. She's very mature. She's like, tries

1058
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 2: very hard to be logical and not emotional, although recently

1059
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: she's been very emotional because she sees that Nick is

1060
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 2: interested in Andrena, so she's getting a little jealous.

1061
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: But I just mean, I'm not mad at her, but that.

1062
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: It's a lot. I think that she she started to

1063
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 2: deal with like a little bit of yeah, yeah, yeah,

1064
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 2: for sure. But anyway, I think she's very mature, Like

1065
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 2: when I hear how she approaches some of the conversations

1066
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 2: and how she addresses conflict. I always like, okay, girl,

1067
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: wives beyond your years, and Ace was giving me that

1068
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: a little bit at the beginning, but now I can't

1069
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 2: stay an Ace.

1070
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: He is like, first of all, Shelley reminds me so

1071
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: much of Halle Bailey, just in her little like her

1072
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: Disney Princess looks like I just like put her in

1073
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: Universal Studio. She can play Aeriel all day every day.

1074
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: She is just adorable. But then Ace is giving that

1075
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: like that not good enough for her, Like has some

1076
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: funny jokes and some quirks, and it makes me sick

1077
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 1: to see them get like getting closer together. Now I've

1078
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: missed huge chunks of the show because my love isoland.

1079
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: Routine is usually to watch the recap and then skip

1080
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: through the middle until I get to the end and

1081
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: watch the last like ten minutes.

1082
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 3: Because nothing is happening.

1083
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 2: Just skip ahead, nothing happening. So there's a lot of

1084
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 2: long pot it was good.

1085
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: I'll go back and watch it, you know what I mean.

1086
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 2: There's a lot of long pauses, and it's a reality show,

1087
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: so like oftentimes it'll be like and so the girl

1088
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 2: that I choose is thirty seconds later. Yes, right, so

1089
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 2: just fast forward. I just fast forward, fast forward, fastward

1090
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: until I see them talking, and then I'll go back

1091
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 2: ten seconds and watch. So I just skip all the

1092
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: pauses and bread so I'm like, I got time for this.

1093
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: This is so stupid.

1094
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,839

1244
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 2: it into a country album, but it's a lot of nasty.

1245
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 1: I think it's a nasty We didn't get through the

1246
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: whole we listened to like the first five tracks. I

1247
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 1: might have skipped like a couple in the middle. I yeah,

1248
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it's very spicy.

1249
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 2: But see, when you really listen between the lines, you're like.

1250
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is because she got.

1251
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 2: Some mature themes. She got some mature themes and some

1252
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 2: sensual undertones, if you know what I mean.

1253
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: Do you have a Beyonce figure? Like, who's your Beyonce?

1254
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: Who would you like?

1255
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 3: Pay?

1256
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1257
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 3: I like music, like I got nobody I care.

1258
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 2: About like that, Like you're not a concert guy or

1259
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 2: you just don't know how many music artists that's your person.

1260
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I like all kinds of music, but I'm not

1261
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 3: like you got anybody. I'm like, oh, I gotta go

1262
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 3: see them. I'm not a concert person. Does that mean?

1263
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 3: But I do love live music, so it's kind of weird.

1264
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 3: It doesn't really make sense.

1265
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't trust people are well.

1266
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 2: I think a concert is different from live music in

1267
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 2: terms of like a live music experience usually for me

1268
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 2: is much more intimate and smaller. Like live music, I

1269
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 2: feel like I can actually see the instruments like that

1270
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 2: within like versus a concert. For me, it kind of

1271
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 2: takes away the live music feeling of it. It's more

1272
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 2: of an experience rather than like a live music spectacle.

1273
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: It's art, yes, yes, theater.

1274
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 2: It's theater.

1275
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: It's especially acrobatics.

1276
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 2: It's acrobatics. It's that kind of thing. It's not more

1277
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 2: circusolate than it is like a live music thing. Because

1278
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 2: I do love live music in smaller settings. I love that,

1279
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 2: but concerts, but I feel you.

1280
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: I'll take it all. But yeah, I saw her from

1281
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: the floor in London, on the floor to the east,

1282
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: so I saw one very specific viewpoint. I am just

1283
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: excited to be dead center. Also, the screen stopped working

1284
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: during this one dance routine where she had like, no

1285
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: spoilers for you, Nelly, but anyway, and I want to

1286

Speaker 1: you to come up with a juicy or boost, and

1314
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:13,840

01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 3: You did?

1316
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: You? Did?

Speaker 1: Go for sure makes diamonds, you know what I mean?

1320
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: So if you just withstand the Mandy money pressure for

1321
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, you will becomes person.

1322
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah let's go with that.

1323
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, yeah, all right.

1324
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 3: Anyways, my boost for this week is uh I had

1325
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 3: a friend who does these they call them like sprints.

1326
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 3: You see them a lot out here with the tech

1327
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 3: company tech founders where they kind of sit down for

1328
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 3: this concentrated time to think through ideas that they have

1329
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 3: with It's like a business idea, I change what you're doing,

1330
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 3: and she even modified it for like, if you want

1331
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 3: to make big life changes, it's a way of sitting down,

1332
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 3: thinking through your life and the things that you value

1333
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 3: and that makes sense to you and thinking about it

1334
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 3: a very critical eye and coming up with something at

1335
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 3: the end of the time. And so we spent a

1336
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 3: whole day doing this. We started at like we started

1337
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 3: at ten in the morning and we went to about

1338
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 3: four and the Africa.

1339
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,439
Speaker 1: Your friend coming up with it on their own.

1340
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 3: No, No, she does this for a living, so she

1341
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 3: does a lot of facilitation of these for companies, for startups,

1342
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 3: for founders and things like that. I met her through

1343
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 3: Burna because Berna was there doing this with us. It

1344
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 3: was me, Berna and b was there and a couple.

1345
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: Other friends whatever you want.

1346
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 3: I know. It's it's it's like it's like it's like

1347
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 3: it's like your credit card parks. This is the San

1348
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 3: Francisco perk. I get to hang out with Berna and uh.

1349
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 3: It was really interesting because like basically she gave us

1350
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 3: like a little bit of homework before the event started,

1351
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 3: before the day and she's like, Okay, I want you

1352
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 3: to sit down and map out your life and any

1353
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 3: important milestone so other it's like personal career wise, whatever

1354
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 3: it may be, and plotted on a timeline, and she

1355
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 3: said some link to this thing is called a mirror board.

1356
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 3: And it's basically like almost like a if you can

1357
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 3: imagine like a big workspace where you can build like

1358
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 3: sheets and forms things like that, and you can like

1359
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 3: type and work directly in it. And so she gave

1360
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 3: us all these pre made things.

1361
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: Like a kind of thing.

1362
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 3: It sounds like no shot, not notion, because it's more

1363
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 3: free flowing. It's like you have a big like what

1364
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 3: do they call it, like a grid paper? She had

1365
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 3: a grid paper, but it like you can move around

1366
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 3: and add things to and you can zoom in, zoom out,

1367
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 3: and if they use for presentations and for working through

1368
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 3: ideas and mapping things out. And so you have this

1369
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 3: timeline and you have like a little post notes you

1370
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 3: can put on there and then type onto it, and

1371
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 3: then you can like link things together. And so you

1372
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 3: start off with like what was this big like what

1373
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 3: are the things in your life? Were there or decisions

1374
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 3: you made that you that kind of shaped where you

1375
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 3: are now or could have forked off and gone somewhere else,

1376
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 3: and you have to sit there and think through all

1377
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 3: of this, and then you have to put down what

1378
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 3: did you do? And then if you what if you

1379
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 3: hadn't have chosen this, what would you have done? What

1380
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 3: would have life done look like? Or what how did

1381
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 3: you feel when you made those decisions? Before, during, and after.

1382
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 3: You have to do that for your old timeline, and

1383
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 3: it really makes you reflect on all the decisions you

1384
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 3: made and like why, Like why did you make that decision?

1385
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 3: And did you feel good about it? And the things

1386
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 3: you didn't feel good about. It kind of gives you

1387
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 3: insight into like, oh I didn't I actually didn't end

1388
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 3: up liking this. Maybe I took something from it, But

1389
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 3: it helps you as you plan now to be like, oh,

1390
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that again, or I really

1391
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,479
Speaker 3: like this thing. And it was such a cool thought

1392
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 3: process because when we came together the next day we

1393
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 3: started kind of working on that a little bit more.

1394
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 3: And then from there what you do is you start

1395
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 3: thinking about like why do you want to make a change,

1396
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 3: and right, no, that's the reasons why. And then if

1397
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 3: you didn't make this change, what would you feel like

1398
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 3: how would your life be if you just didn't do anything,

1399
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 3: and you kind of keep diving into things piece by piece,

1400
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 3: and at the end of all this, to make a

1401
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 3: long story short, you end up with these things you

1402
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 3: take from each of these pages. So there's like a

1403
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 3: little some of the sheets have like a little box

1404
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 3: where it's like, Okay, what do you what was like

1405
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 3: the biggest thing you took away from this thing? So

1406
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 3: you go through and you vote. You have little dots,

1407
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 3: little stickers, you can digital stickers you can place on

1408
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 3: all the responses you gave through this whole long process,

1409
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 3: and then you look through the ones you voted for.

1410
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, this was like this was meaningful to me,

1411
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 3: and then you move that down to this bigger worksheet

1412
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 3: and it builds almost kind of like a mad libs

1413
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 3: Like for me, it was like I really enjoy like

1414
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 3: video production, even though I'm thinking like I like, you know,

1415
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 3: making podcasts and stuff like this, but I really enjoy

1416
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 3: making things and being behind the scenes with a lot

1417
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 3: of stuff. And it's like, what do what do you value?

1418
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 3: And it was like, oh, I really enjoy working with

1419
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 3: other people and it kind of gave me thoughts, like

1420
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 3: insights into things that I didn't even think about. And

1421
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 3: maybe like, oh, I need to prioritize working with other

1422
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 3: people and not just working by myself all the time.

1423
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 3: I need to work on or focus on maybe trying

1424
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 3: out doing more behind the scenes production because that seems

1425
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 3: to be something that is enjoyable to me and it

1426
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 3: really gives you something to work with. And this is

1427
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 3: just step one. It's like stage one and then we're

1428
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 3: going to all get together another day and work on

1429
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 3: what comes after this, which is where you start brainstorming

1430
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 3: ideas from what you've learned about yourself. No, she's doing

1431
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 3: it for free. She charges other people for this, but

1432
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 3: because we're all friends, she's doing this for free for us,

1433
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 3: very kindly giving up her time for this.

1434
01:04:53,320 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: But I bet it was better coming from yourself. Ellah,

1435
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: you love people, You already pay to go to coworking spaces,

1436
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: and you're a you're a gizmo gadget dude. That sounds

1437
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: really great. It's also like carving out the time to

1438
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:15,439
Speaker 1: reflect is just something that it never feels like there's

1439
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot of time for, but it is so nice

1440
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: that you got to do it and that you've spent

1441
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: time and that it was a group activity.

1442
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 2: Yep, and people don't put that on the to do list.

1443
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 2: People don't put that on the to do list. Like

1444
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 2: you're constantly like an energizer bunny, like you go go, go, go, go,

1445
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 2: complete the next task, check the check that box, check

1446
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 2: that box. Reflection doesn't feel like one of those things

1447
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 2: that gives you a sense of like you know that

1448
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 2: you were actually productive. And so I think that's why

1449
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 2: it's you have to force yourself to be in spaces

1450
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 2: and experiences like that to make room for reflection, because

1451
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 2: I feel like that's so important, especially when you have

1452
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 2: a business, because you're just holding the weeds, doing the

1453
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 2: go to go every day. And yeah, I think that's

1454
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: that sounds amazing.

1455
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like you just don't make time for this,

1456
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 3: and it was and you have the pressure of being

1457
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 3: around other people, so you got to do it. If

1458
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 3: I was doing this by myself, I probably want to

1459
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 3: stop fifteen times and gone and done something else, picked

1460
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 3: up my phone. But you're like you're in an environment

1461
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 3: where everyone's doing it, We're all focused, we all want

1462
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 3: to hit the same endpoint when we're done with this.

1463
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 3: And uh, yeah, I feel very fortunate to you know,

1464
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 3: may friends with someone who would do this and facilitate

1465
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 3: this and help us all kind of kind of figure

1466
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 3: it out, you know at the you know, in your

1467
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 3: thirties man, basically forty like me. You know, when you

1468
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 3: get to this point in life, you know, sometimes you

1469
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 3: need to it's good to reflect. You don't have to

1470
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 3: be doing the same thing forever.

1471
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: Forty this week, Oh, who does my husband happy birthday?

1472
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, younger, mm hmm.

1473
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure about for about five.

1474
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: Minutes days younger.

1475
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris, I feel like the one thing that you

1476
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 2: said that really stuck with me about how cool that

1477
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 2: experiences is that you can do it for anything. It's

1478
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 2: not just like a work thing. It's like if you

1479
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 2: have a personal issue that you're dealing with, a work issue,

1480
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 2: a relationship issue, like if any aspect of your life

1481
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 2: you can kind of workshop through in this way. And

1482
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 2: maybe this person over here is working on their business,

1483
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 2: you're working on something personal. Somebody over there is working

1484
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 2: to a relationship issue. And it's so cool that that

1485
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 2: framework allows you to work through pretty much anything that

1486
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 2: you want to reflect on. So I like that a lot.

1487
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 2: I feel like that's really smart for her in terms

1488
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 2: of versatility for her business, for the model that she

1489
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 2: can offer it in a lot of different settings.

1490
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's exactly what it was like.

1491
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: You could give her. I was going to say, did

1492
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: she teach it online? Does she like do tips on

1493
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: ig or something? Does she have a social media handle

1494
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: you can shout out?

1495
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 3: Oh, I think I can. Let me look it up,

1496
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 3: so I know she does this for a lot of

1497
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 3: companies out here in the Bay Area. Her name is

1498
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 3: Kristen shout out to her and her husband run a

1499
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 3: restaurant called Swopshop. It's a Filipino restaurant out.

1500
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Here, and she's got a restaurant.

1501
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 3: Okay, and they got a restaurant. But I'll find I'll

1502
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 3: find her handle it out, I'll share the people that

1503
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 3: connect with her. But we were telling her like, yeah,

1504
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 3: this is a great idea. You definitely should be doing

1505
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 3: this more because she's also this is her way of

1506
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,439
Speaker 3: like molding it for individuals instead of companies to see

1507
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 3: if there's like a way to do it that makes

1508
01:07:58,400 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 3: sense and kind of works. Well.

1509
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: I would love to talk to her, Yeah, because I'm

1510
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,919
Speaker 1: doing this VIP coaching one on one now and I'm

1511
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: so happy that I started doing it. It's just one

1512
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: person for twelve weeks, well twelve sessions, and I don't

1513
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: have And they've been asking like, is there a framework?

1514
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: Is there such and such? But I mean, I create

1515
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: it on the go for each person. But there's so

1516
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: much introspection like baked in side by side thought work

1517
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: where it's just like asking, leading questions and thought exercises

1518
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 1: that that I don't have a particular framework. I just

1519
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: know that it's very helpful. But it's cool that she's

1520
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: come up with one, So I want to I want

1521
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:41,519

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'll get all there for information together and

01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 3: Mm hmmmm, you know, go and spin to keep spinning it.

01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 2: go for it.

1535
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a break, Like I said, I

1536
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: was in Atlanta recently and one of the stories that

1537
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: I haven't really talked about, but it's been in the news,

1538
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 1: especially because she's from Atlanta, is Adrianna Smith, which fam

1539
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: If you've heard this name, maybe it sounds familiar to you.

1540
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: This has been an ongoing story in the news for

1541
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: months because this poor woman who's in her thirties was

1542
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: declared brain dead. And a lot of people start the

1543
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 1: story by talking about the fact that she which is true.

1544
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: She has been declared brain dead but kept on kept

1545
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: on life support because the reproductive laws were over or

1546
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: if Rover Wade was overturned, and in Georgia, almost immediately

1547
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: it triggered a new piece of legislation that reduced the

1548
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 1: window for abortion to like six weeks. And I believe

1549
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: she was nine weeks pregnant when she became brain dead.

1550
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: But I was reading and what happened last week is

1551
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: that the baby was delivered, and the baby was delivered prematurely.

1552
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: It was like one point something pounds. We don't know

1553
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: if he's going to survive. They gave him a name

1554
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: of Chance, And there's so much wrong with that story

1555
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: in so many ways, And I just as a mother

1556
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: there's it's it's heartbreaking that she wasn't able to, you know,

1557
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 1: fulfill that part of her life. She already had a

1558
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: son as well, it's heartbreaking that he's left without a mom.

1559
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,799
Speaker 1: But the part of her story that really was getting

1560
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 1: to me as I read more about her was that

1561
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: what actually caused her to become brain dead declared brain dead,

1562
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: is that she went to the hospital with severe headaches

1563
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:17,759
Speaker 1: and they pretty much brushed it off. Now, if you've

1564
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: been pregnant and you've gone to the hospital as a

1565
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 1: pregnant person, and there's actually jokes about this, like in

1566
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: pop culture, in like on medical TV shows that I've seen,

1567
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, incoming patient to the er, they're pregnant,

1568
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: kick them up to labor and delivery. I myself had

1569
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: cracked a rib from being really sick. I cracked a

1570
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 1: rib from coughing when I was pregnant with my second baby.

1571
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: And there's nothing you can do for a pregnant lady

1572
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: with a cracked rib. I can't get an X ray,

1573
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: there's no painkillers I can take. It's like, but they'll

1574
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: like immediately kick you up to LL and D before

1575
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,600
Speaker 1: really looking at you. And I don't even think in

1576
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: this case she was actually kicked to L and D.

1577
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: She was just given really nothing. They were like, you're fine,

1578
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 1: go home, take some til and all. Well, it turns

1579
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: out she had several brain clots, blood clots in her brain,

1580
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 1: and so she suffered a stroke and her poor husband

1581
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 1: woke up to her in the throes of you know,

1582
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: having one of these blood clots that ruptured, and that's

1583
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,799
Speaker 1: how she ended up on life support in the first place.

1584
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: And we talk a lot about we talk a lot

1585
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: about reproductive rights and how women of color are going

1586
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: to become or largely will become the victims of the

1587
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 1: lack of reproductive health care access in the weight in

1588
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: the wake of Robi Wade being overturned. But I also

1589
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 1: just think it underlines just in general, in healthcare, women

1590
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: and women of color especially are not always taken seriously

1591
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: and are you know, and that we are required. It

1592
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: requires so much of us to like advocate and push

1593
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: for the care that we deserve. And sometimes you're just

1594
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: tired of fighting and sometimes you don't want to have

1595
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: to do that for yourself. And it's not fair and

1596
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: it's not right, but it's just so heartbreaking that she

1597
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: tried to do the right thing and advocate for herself,

1598
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: and it wasn't enough, and she was still sent home,

1599
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: and then her body was used as if it were

1600
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 1: a machine, as if it was you know, as if

1601
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: she was less than human, just because some old white

1602
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: dudes decided for her, decided.

1603
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 2: For her, not her husband, not her mother, not her son,

1604
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 2: not her family, not.

1605
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: Her husband who already had to grieve his wife and

1606
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: his now son without his mother, but now has to

1607
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: worry for the life of his newborn son, who may

1608
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: or may not make it because he was kept alive

1609
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: in a woman's body who was dead, effectively dead. So

1610
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: my heart just goes out to Adriana Smith and her family.

1611
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: I also want to someone had asked me to, you know,

1612
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: what happened into the medical bills? Who pays who pays

1613
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: the medical bills for keeping this woman alive for months

1614
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: and months and now her newborn? And I don't know.

1615
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer to that is. But

1616
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 1: if it's not the State of Georgia, or I don't know,

1617
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, if it's not her family's insurance, even

1618
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: insurance has its limits, you know, So if they have

1619
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: a gofund me or they have any other way you

1620
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: can support the family. I'll post that in the show notes.

1621
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:34,879
Speaker 1: We'll look it up. But I just wanted to. Yeah,

1622
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: I hope. I just hope she's resting in peace now.

1623
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 1: I hope that she gets to go in peace.

1624
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 2: Fine, right, And I would definitely support that GoFundMe girl,

1625
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 2: I would. And if anybody listening, if you haven't heard

1626
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 2: the episode that Mandy did with doctor u J. Blackstock

1627
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 2: from the She's the author of the book called Legacy,

1628
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 2: which is about bias in healthcare, specifically against communities of

1629
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 2: color and more specifically black communities. That episode was so good, Mandy,

1630
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 2: like so good, and that book is so good. But

1631
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:08,440
Speaker 2: I love that you had doctor ujay on because she's amazing.

1632
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 2: I recommend that for this specific topic. It was very powerful.

1633
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah. So I'm just sending love to you, Adriana.

1634
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 1: I hope you're resting in peace, and to your family.

1635
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that their trauma continues on, but

1636
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: you know that is the world we are in, right

1637
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: And as I start to cry, I will let you on, Ellie,

1638
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 1: Now bring us back up, bring us up, uplift us.

1639
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 2: I'll make a connection in terms of why this matters

1640
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 2: the most to me. Last year, in twenty twenty four,

1641
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 2: the state of California passed a law that required financial

1642
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 2: literacy to be taught as a semester, standalone, dedicated course

1643
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 2: for all high school students before they graduate. So it's

1644
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 2: a graduation requirement in the state of California. And I

1645
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 2: was over the moon because California is the state that

1646
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 2: has the largest population in the United States, so the

1647
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 2: largest state by population and the largest percentage of Latinos

1648
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 2: in the US that live in one particular state. Now

1649
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 2: the second largest state by population is Texas, which has

1650
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 2: the largest population of Black Americans, almost four million in

1651
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 2: one state, which is Texas, and so about fourteen percent

1652
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 2: of the population in the state of Texas is black.

1653
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 2: And now Texas on Saturday, June twenty first, officially got

1654
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 2: the law signed by the governor. So it is not

1655
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 2: just passed the legislature, not the Senators and representative passed

1656
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 2: the bill because that's what had happened before. But so

1657
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 2: many times the bill passes and it sits on the

1658
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: governor's desk for weeks and weeks and weeks it gets

1659
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 2: ignored or the governor would pick it up and like

1660
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 2: veto it if they don't like it. But in this case,

1661
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 2: it was passed and signed into law on Saturday, June

1662
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 2: twenty first, which means it is officially now a requirement

1663
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:56,440
Speaker 2: for high school graduation. It goes into effect officially on

1664
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 2: in the fall of twenty twenty six, So this school

1665
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:00,720
Speaker 2: year twenty twenty five to twenty two twenty six, the

1666
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 2: teachers are going to take this year to train, to plan,

1667
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 2: the school districts are going to start making decisions about

1668
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 2: what curriculum they're going to use, how they're going to

1669
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 2: rearrange the master schedule to make sure every student takes

1670
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 2: the class. And then starting in the twenty twenty six

1671
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven school year, every single text in high

1672
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 2: school kid that's in a public high school is guaranteed

1673
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:20,879
Speaker 2: access to an eighteen week long course dedicated to personal

1674
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 2: financial literacy, all the things that we all wish we

1675
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 2: had learned when we was in high school. So it

1676
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 2: was a huge win. I mean, just based on the stats,

1677
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 2: there's like we were at sixty five percent of students

1678
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 2: in the US guaranteed access with the twenty eight states

1679
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 2: that were already that had already passed this law, and

1680
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 2: with Texas, it's now seventy five percent of students in

1681
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 2: the US have guaranteed access.

1682
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:46,639
Speaker 1: And this is the legislation that y'all wrote.

1683
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 2: Then, basically, this is the legislation that we drafts. Start

1684
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 2: push incredible and shout out to testified. There's videos on

1685
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 2: my instagrament testifying, but the shoutout for shore goes to

1686
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:03,719
Speaker 2: Representative Lindagar's and Representative Ken King, who are the two

1687
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 2: House the House representative. So Linda Garcia is a Democrat

1688
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 2: and Ken King is a Republican, and so it was

1689
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 2: a bipartisan effort, which means it doesn't matter if you're

1690
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 2: a Republican or Democrat. Everyone agreed on both sides that

1691
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 2: this was so important and that's why it was so

1692
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 2: successful with so many, so many votes in support of it.

1693
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,680
Speaker 2: So it's official. If you live in Texas, spread the

1694
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 2: word and if you see the news, share it far

1695
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 2: and wide, because we need everybody to know that this

1696
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 2: is an official change that happened, that it was signed

1697
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 2: by the governor, and this is real, and no more

1698
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 2: denying or making it an elective. It has to be

1699
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 2: required in every single high school amazing.

1700
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: So you're doing a little victory lap when you go

1701
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: see Beyonce.

1702
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 2: Girl, it's a two for it. I'm going to see Beyonce.

1703
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 2: But I'm also like, this is Texas. We won, Yes,

1704
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 2: we did it. It was a long fight, and there

1705
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 2: were so many things along the way that made me

1706
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 2: think we were not going to win, that it wasn't

1707
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 2: going to happen. There were so many hot political issues

1708
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 2: like anding THHC product sales in the state of Texas

1709
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 2: and a school funding bill getting the Ten Commandments posted

1710
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 2: in public school. There was so much. There was so

1711
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 2: much going on in Texas that was like distract It

1712
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 2: was distracting people, I think from this bill that actually

1713
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 2: is such a good thing. And we're over here fighting

1714
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 2: about whether the Ten Commandment should be posted up in

1715
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 2: the school. Students might not even say that, let's focus,

1716
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 2: let's focus on what they're you know. So I'm so

1717
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 2: glad it wasn't so much distraction to the point where

1718
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 2: it kind of washed this bill off to the side.

1719
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 2: This one really did make it to the end, which

1720
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 2: it's very very hard to get a bill signed into law.

1721
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 2: So I'm really really proud of Texas and I'm so

1722
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:39,639
Speaker 2: honored to have gotten to be a part of that

1723
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 2: fight and to be able to tell the story. And

1724
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 2: now now I'm like, Okay, which state is going to

1725
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 2: be number thirty, number twenty nine? Yes, we got a

1726
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 2: couple more twenty one more states to go. Who's going

1727
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 2: to be number thirty?

1728
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm cross? Is everything right? So now that Texas is

1729
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: like the biggest one, it's like it doesn't become easier

1730
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: to then convince more states.

1731
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, because you have really big states like New York

1732
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 2: who haven't who has not done it yet, Illinois, who

1733
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 2: has not done it yet. And when they see big

1734
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 2: states like California, Texas, Florida have already done it, they see,

1735
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 2: oh there's no excuse, Oh we're too big to do that, No,

1736
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 2: because there's precedent, like you said, So hopefully this definitely

1737
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:16,719
Speaker 2: makes the fight a little easier as we move forward.

1738
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you went last. Congratulations, Thank you, and

1739

Speaker 1: as you and the work you're doing is so impactful.

1740
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,720

1741
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: you don't get a chance to like see the impact.

1742
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 1: But your work is, yeah, I mean it really, it

1743
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 1: actually happens, and there's a lot of people working to

1744
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: pass legislation that's so needed that don't get to celebrate that,

1745
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: so and don't it doesn't get past, you know, the

1746
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 1: filibusters and the bullshit. So just really excited for y'all.
