I was just trying to get in 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.720 the room because if for you who don't know, Mandy 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.679 was sending me all kinds of wrong links. I was 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.440 just happy to be able to get in the room finally. 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.840 Well, thanks for test driving the Patreon link.

You could actually hear what Chris 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:29.720 has to say. 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.120 Really love that, No way, I love that. Imagine actually 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.399 being fully behind the scenes like the whole time, and 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.560 only you get to see for what really goes on. 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.880 And then y'all can be like m I heard what 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.120 Mandy had edited out was Chris said something smart and 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.200 she was too intimidated. She didn't want to. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.200 You're like, because when I listened to the podcast, Chris 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.680 is only only for about ten seconds. I didn't know 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:52.720 he was in the whole time. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.559 I wish there was more.

What I think 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.480 is my favorite perk that I came up with in 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.880 my brain is that you can join Brown Tables Live 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.880 every Monday when I record, so you'll get a link. 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.720 You can be in the audience.

You could chat us, you could distract us, notes, 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.400 take notes, you can point out if I have anything 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.120 problematic on the shelf behind me, like a child's toy. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.920 Today I have the brand Ambition book Club pick sky 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.400 full of Elephants. Yes, I wish I could wrap all 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.240 my books like the library does right wpover. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.240 It's protected, just a nice little protected, protective book cover. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.880 It doesn't fall off like low Ki. I don't like 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.800 book jackets because they just they go flying. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.079 Literally last night last night I was reading I just 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.960 started this new nonfiction book and I was reading it 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.440 in the bed and the freaking book jacket just kept 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.320 slipping and sliding, and I just threw the thing all right, 0:02:58.680 --> 0:02:59.200 so annoying. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.520 The aesthetic gone, so like, why don't they stick it? 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.959 Why why isn't it crintit on the cover itself? Maybe 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.200 it didn't last as long, I don't know. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.920 No, it's more expensive because it's a separate manufacturing process. 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.919 When they just print the cover book of the book 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.200 with just fabric. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.200 And then they can like switch it out. When you 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.280 become on the New York Times bestseller, they can just 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.040 put a sticker on it or change the text and 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.720 then just they don't got to reprint books. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:20.800 That makes sense. 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.720 I do know. Let's do a quick little round of 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:31.040 life updates. We just came through June teenth. We do 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:36.800 bombed the country that actually the people who celebrated Juneteenth, 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.920 we had nothing to do with that exactly. Now. 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.640 Was that was that consulted on that decision? 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.880 Not not at all. If Congress wasn't, then we definitely weren't. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.800 You know what, I just want to real quick, I 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.760 want to give a shout out to the Studio Museum 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.640 in Harlem in New York City, because when I was 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.280 fifteen years old, I interned at the museum. I did 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.160 a special internship program which was for students that were 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.720 interested in the arts. And I was a baby, y'all. 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.800 It was two thousand and five, and they taught us 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.200 about Juneteenth and had us canvassing industry to educate the 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.160 community in Harlem about Juneteenth. To celebrate with the cookout, 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.520 they invited people into the community into the museum. They 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.479 had a whole exhibit showing James Vandersey's photography from the 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:21.240 Black Renaissance. And when I tell you, I was fifteen 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.039 years old, my little Dominican American self from Brooklyn had 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.800 never even heard of Juneteenth. And this was back in 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.279 two thousand and five. And I feel like now people 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.400 are starting to learn about Juneteenth and the history. And 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.200 I've been known since the early two thousands because of 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.920 the Studio Museum in Harlem, which has been doing a 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.839 lot of education. So shout out to them. I just 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:39.520 got to say. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.080 That day, that's so cool. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.239 I didn't learn about Juneteenth, and I was much older, 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.280 like it was that. Never once in school was it mentioned. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:48.520 You just didn't even know it was the thing. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.240 I just went to the barbecues. I didn't really put 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:56.520 two and three together the history cues we're hanging out. 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.400 It's just what black people do. I did not put 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:03.200 the two two the causes of a barbecue collinto college. Yeah, 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.919 but there's so much that we haven't learned. It's embarrassing. 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.240 But while I kind of got distracted by Juneteeth, though 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:10.920 I was in Atlanta for a few days for a 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.719 very exciting thing. I've been sharing a little bit with 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.760 BA fan about my dad's situation, and I love that 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.760 he has no idea how to ever listen to this 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.520 show because he has no idea how much of his business. No, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.880 he straight up texted every time he's in the hospital, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.400 not that he goes, he goes kind of off, but 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.080 he'll text me. Be like, don't y'all answer anyone's dms 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.599 from nosy neighbors or friends or family who wants to 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.920 know about my business? And I was like, well, the 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.560 fine print you did not include. I couldn't mention on 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.560 my podcast. Community got to kid me. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:50.120 Yes yoge, which, oh my goodness, Congress your daddy, Congress 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:50.680 your family. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.800 That is huge, girl, and huge, huge shout out to 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.960 my sister Mallory. She has a different father. She's not 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.120 a match for my dad. But she donated a kidney altruistically, 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.359 which is just because she wanted to. But the reason 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.640 she did it is because that bumped my dad up 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.800 the list. I think they said it was it could 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.440 take like up to three years for him to get 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.359 a kidney. Some people are on there for a decade 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.279 because you get kicked off, you get back on. But 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.200 all in all, it's it hasn't I don't know if 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.919 it's sunk in because it's been such an intense couple 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.599 of years with his health. But yeah, less than two years. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.600 He has a brand new kidney. My sister donated back 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.400 in January. She had a by the way, she had 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.719 a ton of complications that I that were just terrible. 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.599 But she's come out mostly on the other side healthy, 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.080 my dad. And so it's January to now June, so 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:47.320 six months. And also his donate, his donate, his kidney 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.440 was donated by an altruistic donor in Indiana, So thank 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:53.440 you too, whoever that was. 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:54.839 That is so cool. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.400 And uh, he's paying like a champ. No more dialysis. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.800 Listen, listen with the little things that we take for 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.840 granted every day, like sitting on the toilet or standing 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:04.400 over the toilet. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.400 It was so funny. Yeah, that catheter, that feedbag was 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:11.360 filled to the brim, leaders upon leaders of urine. Liquid gold. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.720 Poor daddy, Oh, liquid gold them Dad. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.160 I don't want to why, you know, and I don't 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.000 want to. It's hard for me to ever talk about 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.640 it without getting on my on a little bit of 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.800 a pedestal about health and black communities because dialysis and when, 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.680 and especially in Atlanta, because like, we were driving in 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.960 my dad's hospital. He was in a Piedmont Atlanta staff 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.960 was amazing. He's now had open heart surgery there, he 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.840 had his kidney He's been there a lot. Yeah, well 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.640 I was. We were driving there, my brother and I 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.000 from Atlanta Airport to the hospital. We passed so many 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.840 dialysis clinics. It is big business, the business of black 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.720 and brown bodies that have been allowed to, you know, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:56.000 develop chronic conditions that lead to kidney disease. It's high 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.760 blood pressure, it's diabetes. Those are the two biggest contributors 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.360 of kidney disease. And then what do you get when 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.920 someone is diagnosed with end stage renal failure. You get 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.760 a cash fucking cow because every chair you can fill 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.760 in a dialysis clinic, who's paying for that insurance, you know, 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.600 and they have to go three times. 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.480 A week, they see dollar signs. That's what they say. 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.840 They see dollar signs. And my dad is so I 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.000 can't even tell you. He is like so not the 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.640 norm for a man his age, in his sixties, with 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.680 his health background, to be what a giddy kidney as 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.000 fast as he did. My sister, I would say, used 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.760 her privilege in the best way possible to give him 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.200 a kidney, to give a kidney for him to get 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.680 bumped up the list. But and I'm not even talking 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.960 about We passed one place that blew my mind. It 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.319 was like, you go, if you're bench of Atlanta, it's 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:49.320 like strip clubs, gentlemen's clubs, dark, empty, you know, you know, 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.880 in some parts, right, but in like in the in 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.040 some parts. And we're driving down this road, I forget 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.520 what the rod was called. And then the belt line, 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.000 not the belt line, the belt line is gentrification but true. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.520 And then to my left, I'm like, what the hell 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.240 is it look like? I was like, is that a 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.880 spa kidney? SPA was the name of it. It was 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:11.640 giving five star Ritz Carlton. Yes, in the middle of 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:17.840 the Gatau. So all that is to say, I'm so 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.959 damn grateful at the same time that my dad is 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.240 getting a brand new kidney and a new delisan life. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.240 His brother, his fourth out of six siblings to have 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:32.240 end stage renal failure, and my uncle David's blind. He 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.559 already He's been in the hospital NonStop because one of 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.000 the complications is gangreen That's how people start losing their limbs, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.880 like my aunt Sherry Lee, God rest her soul. One 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.800 of the last things happened before she died was she 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.240 lost a leg. Uncle David's in the hospital and they 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.000 are like amputating more and more bits of his leg, 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.120 like he just you know, is in hell. So, you know, 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.240 my siblings and I it was such a fast trip, 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.040 but like at a certain point we were just kind 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:04.040 of trying to absorb and like touch base on just 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:08.480 like our joint shared mission to break a bunch of 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:13.400 generational not just trauma, but generational curses, as my aunt 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:18.600 Brenda would say, and the the chronic health conditions in 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.200 my family. It's it's horrible, and I really hope that 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:27.440 we can be a part of that change. So that 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.600 was a lot, but I'm really happy for my dad. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.119 I feel like we're at that age too, like millennials, 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.360 maybe slightly older millennials who are transitioning from like enjoying 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.640 our parents and like older generations being these like older 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.439 mentor kind of figures and like just you know, turning 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.720 into grandparents or just like supporting us in different ways 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.120 as they're getting older, to now us being playing the 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.400 supportive role to them because now they're at age where 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.199 they're just older than older and to a point where 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.520 they need us. And it's I don't know about y'all, 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.080 but it's such a scary thing to experience firsthand. Like 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.360 I've watched my dad. He's now seventy six, he's going 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.800 to be this summer, and it's just so it just 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.480 it feels like it happened one day to the next. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.600 It was like one day he was the funny, loud, 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.760 laughing jokester, and all of a sudden, now I see 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.200 him struggling to do basic things like get up off 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.760 the couch and you know, the stretches that he used 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.360 to do he can't do. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.800 is it happening. Is it happening? Is happening? And I'm 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.080 watching it happen, and it's so so scary and bizarre 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.560 experience because he's always been in my mind like he's 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.040 always been like fifty years old, like at like a 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.800 static age where he doesn't change, And now it's just 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.080 I can't deny it anymore, you know, And it's just 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.040 like so heartbreaking. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.720 Thank goodness you have so many siblings too. I'm really 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:41.880 grateful for my siblings. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.880 Yes, yes, big families and families that come through. Oh, 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.120 it's everything. It really does change change the game. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.480 It's so weird to be like to kind of become 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.680 like a parent to your parents and how to tell 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.080 them what they should be doing, and like, hey. 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.400 Now, can't be saying that I'm going to get it. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:58.079 It's the truth. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:58.320 Though. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.080 My dad wants to be like, you gotta. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.200 Let them think. You gotta let them think that they're 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:03.600 in charge. 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:08.439 Shoes don't literally tind my dad's shoes. I was sweating. 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.880 That's a heavy leg. I put on socks and shoes 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.880 for little humans every day, but they're about this thing. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.520 I was like that, I don't want it. First of all, 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.840 I don't want to touch his feet like the way 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.800 I know I could not be a nurse. I'll put 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.640 them gloves on.

You know what, guys, they don't believe in moisturizing 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.000 their feet. You know, you put you just lotion. What 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.640 people can see you go up to you where your 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.720 sock is gonna go. And from there. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.560 You know, guys without black girlfriends, Chris, you don't got 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.400 a black girlfriend, but you have a black sister friend 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.640 right here, and you better be you better be lotion 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:22.319 in them angles. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.000 Just don't understand it because sometimes you know, you don't 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:26.560 put lotion on your feet, you can be slipping on 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:27.000 the ground. 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.880 So I'm like house then when you sleep, when you 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.080 when you sleep, you cutting up your sheet.

I'm not gonna walk around ashy. But the 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.360 feet sometimes they get skipped. Sometimes they get skipped. I'm 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.440 not gonna lie. Nobody's looking at them. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.280 Put some loation, Put some lotion real quick before you 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:49.960 put the socks on. That that's the best tip I 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.400 can give you because the lotion and the moisture and 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.520 the warmth of the sock, it will do something for 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:54.880 the skin. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:55.520 Just the. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.880 Vazoline on your feet at night, put the socks on top. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.320 You don't want to sleep with soocks.

You know. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.800 Oh, I got an aqua for a story because I 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.920 didn't know what that was because I never I seen it, 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.600 but I didn't know what it was. I never used it, 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.200 but I seen it in the house and stuff like that. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.720 And I remember I was with Mandy for the live 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.240 show the live podcast you and Tiffery were doing in 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.200 New Jersey, and I remember we were riding in a 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:20.480 car and I was like, I'm kind of ashy. Did 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.360 somebody some lotion? And I think it was you. You're like, 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.920 I got some aquardfer. I was like okay, and I 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.040 put way too much on my hands. I'm like, oh, 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.320 it's a lotion. I was so greasy. My hands were 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.000 so greasy. For the rest of that day, I was 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:33.640 trying to wipe it off on stuff. I was like, 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.720 why do you give us a vassoline? What is this? 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.440 I know, Yeah, it's a consistency of bassline bro come on. 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.680 Basically, I don't know.

I will put it on everything, bug bites. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.240 Aquafor sunburned, aquafor. 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.800 It is life changing. When I was in Japan for 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.800 my birthday last year, I was riding a bike across 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.760 the Siddle Bridge and I looked over the bridge real 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.840 quick and while I turned my head, I lost that 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.840 when the bike fell off. The bike so embarrassing, y'all, 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.880 so embarrassing, fell off the like scraped my elbow and 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.240 my arm with I'm talking about like a gash, y'all, 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.800 not like a little scratch. And I put Aqua four 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.200 on that every single day, and when I tell you 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.200 eight days later, it looked like I never had a 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.160 cut in the first place. Aqua four will literally heal 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.040 any open wounds. I mean, Aqua four is seriously changing, y'all. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.200 If you're not on it, get on that. 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.600 Use Coke Brown Ambition to get a free tub of 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.440 off for you know they don't sponsor. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:30.520 Us yet, get your co grup, get your. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.120 I want some real sponsors, like I don't want, you know, 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:33.960 I mean no, I want the sponsors.

Someone gave me that. 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.000 Okay, that might be good for the kids because will 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.480 be like extra extra. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.520 That brings me back to our very first round table 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:28.880 with y'all, because that was my story, all right. We 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:34.040 got to get into these headlines, y'all. Yes, America dumb 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.680 bombed Iran. I wanted to unless you'll have something to 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.920 say about conflicts in the Middle East, I just wanted 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:45.320 to like start thinking about personal finance implications. The one 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.320 that I've heard so far, Well, let me give pause 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.360 for any commentary on the state of our politics and 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:52.920 peacekeeping operations. 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.800 Girl, I have two brothers in the military, ones in 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.840 the Air Force and the other one is in the army, 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.720 So I was I was certainly scared. I mean, like, 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.919 I'm just praying that, you know, one or both of 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.880 them don't get deployed. But scary times, man, especially just 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:14.560 looking at how much of the commentary in the past 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.480 has been actively trying to avoid this and then like 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.640 full on doing it with little to no notice is wild. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:23.800 It's wild, and it's definitely scary. I mean, even my 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.359 brothers who are both active military right now, like just 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.440 I haven't had a chance to talk to them in depth, 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.240 but we're all in a family chat and when they can, 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.200 you know, pop in and like comments or likes of 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.840 what they're doing. One of them is in Lachlan Air 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.159 Force Base in Texas near San Antonio, a little bit 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.320 south of San Antonio. And then the other one is 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:45.359 currently in Tennessee, but he's just stationed there. He just 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.359 got back from Romania because they were doing some some 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.159 like intervention on like Ukraine situations. They were like on 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.560 the outskirts Romania, like just setting up some camps and 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.320 just trying to keep eye and keep watching soil. He 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.520 got back from Romania literally just a couple months ago, 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.760 so it's a little heartbreaking to see like he just 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.600 got back. He's finally back home and just so excited 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.040 to be able to see some of his friends and 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.359 maybe get some time off and for family. And then 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.480 immediately like his Fourth of July request was denied. He 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.199 can't see us for fourth of July. Like there's so 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.600 many things where it's like immediately nope, going right back, 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.280 And it is heartbreaking because the kid's been he's been 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.880 he's been working really really hard. Like this poor kid 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.199 has been rocking. Sometimes he'll send us notes to just 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:26.480 be like hey guys, like I have to do eight 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.639 mile rock this morning with like twice my weight on 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.880 my back, Like that's my morning, Like that's what I'm 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.280 doing today. And I'm like, damn, Like this kid is 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.920 putting in work, physical work, and to then turn around 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:39.720 and be told, Nope, you can't even get three days 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.480 off to go see your family. So kind of sucks. 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:48.720 That's the last time you saw him probably Christmas last year. Yeah, 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:50.480 so over six months ago now, But. 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.800 That's the really heartbreaking thing. And well it's all it's 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.000 all scary for so many reasons. But what I've heard 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.399 is that you know, and there's of course TikTok and 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.520 beams like everyone's like, hey, I don't want to let 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.000 Ron know it wasn't me. I'm on your side whatever, 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.399 which is problematic in its own right because Iran is 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.800 doing up to some shadiness right right. But the people 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.560 who are really at risk are in my what I've 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.959 heard is military personnel stationed in the Middle East because 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.320 Iran can reach them with their weapons, with their. 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.680 Missiles pretty directly. Ye yep. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.520 So I just pray keep them in my thoughts in prayers, 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:31.000 and God damn commander in chief didn't know you could 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:35.399 have weapons. Fomo just couldn't couldn't let be b, couldn't 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.480 let Benjamin utt and ya who have all the fun 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.600 So it said, you know what put me in Let's go, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.880 I'll bring my toys to the play to the play date, 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.479 you bring your toys. Let's let's blow some shit up. 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:46.159 It's how it felt. 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.440 It's like a pissing contest. I'm like, are you kidding me? 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:50.960 Are you kidding me right now, that's not that's not 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:51.920 let's not do that. 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.840 Let's not especially when it's treated as if like these 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.879 are like not human lives involved in this too. I 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:58.840 think sometimes it gets it's so easy. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.159 For oh, they don't give a shit about hum. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.720 Yes, aren't people on the ground and all where it's like, 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.600 you know, like people can't. I just can't. I think 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.720 that's what hits me so hard is like I can't 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.040 imagine like that being your life. You're just there trying 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.679 to raise your family, live your life, and then all 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.360 of a sudden, this is what happens to where you live. 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:16.399 You throw it into chaos, Like what does even look 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.080 like anymore? What does life even look like after that? 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.639 So it's it's really painful to see people going through that. 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:23.320 And also like, yeah, he was saying, like are people 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.119 who here who are in the military, who now you know, 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:26.560 didn't ask me a part of this and now they're 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:27.000 part of it. 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:31.199 Well it seems trivial, but I did want to do 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:35.400 some research into what potential personal finance implications there may be. 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:37.920 I think we're already starting to see one of the 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:42.960 most noticeable everyone's talking about eggs, but it's also gas prices, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.520 and Americans are very tied too, so those are likely 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.720 to spike. I think they have already. I think gas 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.840 or sorry oil, which oil prices are tied to gasoline 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:54.360 prices at the pump, has already shot up to over 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:58.000 one hundred dollars a barrel and likely to keep spiking. 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.680 So we may see gas increase, and y'all know, then 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.320 people go at the gas station, they start, you know, 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:08.639 hoarding gas, and then we get inflation, which brings me 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.560 to the next thing, which is inflation in general. So 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:17.080 the tie, my understanding is the tie with inflation is 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:21.560 that oil prices are a big driver of that. So 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:27.119 one study by Oxford Economics estimates that when oil reaches 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.359 one hundred and thirty dollars per barrel, that could push 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.280 inflation in the US to six percent by the end 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:36.840 of the year. Wow, ain't we just get this under control? Right? 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.400 It just got back to a regular rate, which would 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.240 has been the goal for so long. We were at 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.880 nine percent, eight percent, seven. Now we're finally down three 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:46.480 to four, and now we're going back up to six. 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.600 Potentially that would be so scary if it does go 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.880 back up like that because people are just now finally 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:55.120 adjusting to things feeling normal again, I think after being 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.639 with such high inflation, and of course a lot of 0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:59.399 that was due to COVID and things like that, but 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:00.720 it just feels like. 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:05.280 We finally somewhat started to bounce back, and it just 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:06.560 feels like you can't catch a break. 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.600 Chris my ninja googler, because you seem how you somehow 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:11.680 know how to Google without making your whole computer shake, 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.200 which I can't do. Because it's like, did you look 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:17.919 up really quick what the oil is right now? Per barrel? 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.280 I'm seeing now, I'm seeing eighty dollars per I thought. 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:22.760 It was eighty dollars the last time I read up 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:24.880 on it, which was like a day ago, two days ago. 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:30.160 Yeah, Chris, check right quick, which could be because so 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:34.320 far Iran hasn't blocked this crucial shipping container canal. It's 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:35.400 called the straight of or Mooves. 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:36.640 Yeah. 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.960 Yeah, So if they do end up blocking that, which 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.080 could be in retaliation, I don't think they have so far. 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:45.159 It's hard, right ba Fam, You're gonna hear this on Wednesday. 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.600 We're recording this Monday afternoon, So who knows what the 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:50.600 world could look like by then. But it's something that 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:53.000 we'll be looking at, is the oil prices and then 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:56.480 the tie into inflation. When energy goes up, it hits 0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.719 all the things y'all get in Amazon shipments, we're getting 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:02.800 the cost of oh my god, cooling our houses. We're 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:04.440 in the middle of a heat wave here in New York, 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:06.960 so we could see prices the places. 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:10.440 Yes, yes, yes, right. I was just in Texas a 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:12.080 couple of weeks ago, and who it was burning hot 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:13.639 in Houston. I was in Houston. Then I was in 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.200 Dallas and oh my goodness. I couldn't even step outside. 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:17.720 I was like, nope, I'm good to stay inside in 0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:21.480 the ac So imagine if that's happening doing a heat wave, It's. 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:24.840 That'd be rough. My cucumbers are struggling, y'all. I had 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:27.280 to put up some shade cover. I'm sorry. We have 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:29.960 what is this breaking? We have an update from Chris 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.240 Chris Browning in the field. Yes, Chris, give us your update. 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.159 Oh, we have an update at a crude oil prices. 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:37.440 We're looking at prices between seventy and seventy five dollars 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:43.480 per barrel, depending on what you're checking. All right, right now, 0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:44.400 that's where it's at. 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:45.560 Is that typical. 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:47.640 Oh, I can get back to you with that soon. 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:49.000 I don't know off the top of my head at all. 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:53.080 Okay, Chris going back into that undercover Google, thank you, 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.320 thank you very much for your deep research. Chris Chris Browning, 0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:03.800 San Francisco in his bedroom. Supply chain disruptions again, that 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:07.879 could be if they close that canal cyber attacks. This 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:11.720 is the one that freaks me out because I don't 0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.639 know if it would impact Like has there been an 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:18.800 Iranian cyber attack that's impacted everyday Americans? I can't remember. 0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:21.600 I just know that they have been attacking, like I 0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:26.719 know they've been behind some key political figures getting hacked. 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:33.320 But there was some discussion about potentially hospitals being a 0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:36.959 target for cyber attacks. Apparently they're like a huge target 0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:42.080 and a weak one because I'm guessing because hospitals come 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.399 in all different shape sizes, and they have their own 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:49.159 systems and there's no like nationwide protection. It's up to 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:51.960 each hospital individually. But that's scurry. 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.920 That makes sense too, because it's hard for medical institutions 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.520 to keep up in general, and let alone with technology 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:00.800 that's hard to keep up with period. 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:03.120 Chris Chris Browning, any word on. 0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:07.480 What I'm saying is that it's actually been pretty low. 0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:09.960 It's been rising over the past several years, but you know, 0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:13.680 it's like between seventy and eighty bucks the past two years. 0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.480 It looks like it peaked around ninety bucks in twenty 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:18.680 twenty two, and then it was like sixty eight and 0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:21.880 twenty twenty one, thirty nine and twenty twenty just because 0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:25.119 obviously the pandemic. So it's getting towards a higher end 0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:26.520 of what we see in the past ten. 0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:30.520 Years that would track with inflation. So okay, all right, 0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:32.960 we'll keep eyes on that. Thanks so much, Christopher Browning. 0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:36.600 That was again, Christopher brown ng hard Ing. 0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:39.080 Let's not forget that that last part there. 0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.920 Very important, very important women ally. 0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:48.199 Ally and a nonviolent peacekeeper. 0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.320 Thank you, thank you. I am curious though, like because 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:54.280 it's been like the attitude towards like electric vehicles have 0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:56.120 kind of been shifting a little bit here in the US. 0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:57.639 I feel like people were starting to be like, well, 0:25:57.680 --> 0:25:59.399 I mean one company in particular when I have to 0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:00.960 mention them, but there's a lot of other companies who 0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:04.320 make electric cars that we'll talk about. But I wonder 0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.520 we'll gas because there one A gas is like a 0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:08.680 driver for people wanting to go to hybrids and then 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:10.600 electric cars eventually. So I wonder, is it going to 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:13.399 be like, hey all, you are hating on like green 0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:18.760 like initiatives, but electric cars, more solar, more alternative fuel sources. 0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:21.320 It may be a driver, even though an environment where 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:24.200 that's not being supported and with regulations, if the people 0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:26.159 want it, it might be a driver to push us 0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:27.240 in that direction more. 0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:28.520 Right, if the demand is there. 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:31.600 I'm really getting into my prepper bag right now, y'all. 0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:33.960 And I just feel like, I mean, I don't blame you. 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.880 I want solar panels so bad. My tiny little root 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:42.439 can't handle them. There's not enough square footage apparently, but 0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:45.200 once they get more efficient, I will be getting solar panels. 0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:47.359 I just want to be I want to be more 0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:51.520 sustainable myself. And I mean, yes for the environment sustainable, 0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:52.320 but also like. 0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:55.359 For life, self sustaining. 0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:58.760 Self sustaining, like I have a literal farmstead outside my 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:02.040 house now that I'm going with my and I blame 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.040 Mickey Kendall, who was on the podcast this week. I 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.160 interviewed her a month or two ago. She's the author. 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:08.600 Have you heard of that book Hood Feminism? 0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:10.680 Oh yeah, yeah right. 0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:12.159 Can we talk to you all about Mickey yet? So 0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.560 I had her on the podcast and I almost forgot 0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:17.800 how she Oh it just came out. Yeah, it just 0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:21.000 came out this week or sorry, on Friday. It was 0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:22.760 supposed to come out Monday, but I pushed it out 0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:24.840 earlier because once we hit it on, I was like, 0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:27.280 I got to get Mickey out here because she is 0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:30.119 an historian. I mean, she has like a PhD in history, 0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:34.199 and she's a brilliant woman. But she really laid it 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.879 out in academic terms and just you know, but also 0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:40.120 straight talking terms, how history is repeating itself and how 0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:43.080 the only solution she's come up with so far as 0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:47.920 community and prepping and getting ready for potential civil war 0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:51.199 potential you know, lack of resources and next thing, you know, 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:54.440 I'm growing tomatoes and cucumbers and obsessed. 0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:59.960 She got through to you, She got through to you. Yeah. 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:05.879 Yeah, let me know. I'll be cannon tomatoes shipping them across. 0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:09.280 The country Mandy's tomatoes Dand I'm looking forward to it. 0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:17.520 Oh thanks, Well, should we leave Iran behind? I feel like, I. 0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:19.720 Mean, I think I think it's tough for me at least, 0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.240 it's really tough. I haven't I've kind of refrained from 0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:24.960 posting content about like oh, how they're on, how this 0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:27.199 is iron Ta's going to affect your finances. It's like 0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:30.960 I know that that that that that's kind of stuff 0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:33.480 that people use to get clicks. But as a content creator, 0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:36.640 I cannot get myself to do it. I have two 0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.640 brothers actively serving right now. I can't sit here and 0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:43.120 go your your bank account and your investment portfolio. Here's 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:45.280 an opportunity here, let's just what we can learn from it. 0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:47.680 I just i'd rather me personally, I just rather I 0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:49.440 just rather stay quiet. I just rat to stay quiet. 0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:52.520 I've talked about other things, but it's just it's just 0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:54.720 so hard when people take this and make it like 0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:57.680 the butt of the content type of thing, and it 0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:00.640 feels so heavy and it feels so much much bigger. 0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:04.280 So I'm just I'm very careful about the content I'm 0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.920 creating right now, but also just what I'm seeing too, 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.400 just like making note of it, like oh okay, okay, 0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.000 because we don't want to I don't know, we just 0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:13.959 don't want to perpetuate that, like war is an opportunity 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:16.640 for your portfolio like that that is so that is 0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:19.680 so cringe eck, and just want to vomit. I want 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:22.960 to see stuff like that. So I just am trying 0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:24.160 to be aware of it. But I love I love 0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:26.240 that you said, like, hey, let's just address some potential 0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:28.560 impacts of it on your personal finances and not focus 0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:31.240 on like what opportunities you can get like that is wild. 0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.160 That framing to me is just so disgusting. 0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.680 No, it really is, and it's it's I think it's 0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.400 interesting like us as people talk about like money all 0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.960 the time and finances in a time where there's so 0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:44.520 much other things outside of that that are happening in 0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.880 the world that it becomes really difficult to like find 0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:49.680 want to find purpose in talking about it and not 0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:51.760 be like there's so much like this is the world's 0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:54.640 going crazy and it's like everyone's lines are on hold, 0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:57.120 and it's like it's so hard to hear that and 0:29:57.160 --> 0:29:59.960 then be like, hey, let's talk about top saving stuffs. 0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.840 I'm like, just it feels so it feels very hard. 0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:06.440 Yes, that's why I've been doing nothing but gardening. I'll 0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:08.080 go to my ig and I'm like, h what should 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.680 I post. Oh, I have nothing but gardening content, and 0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:13.840 it's fine. Anybody got to hear from us. 0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:17.360 Sometimes exactly, sometimes it's better to be quiet and just 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:21.880 participate in reading the little book. Check on people offer 0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:25.200 the resources to support help, but not necessarily just add 0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:28.000 noise to the mix, right, Like I did get somebody 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:30.520 called me out. I posted a video about how important 0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:33.280 financial literacy was and how teens can start early with 0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:37.080 investment accounts and stuff, and somebody commented, this is valuable information, 0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:38.720 but it feels so tone deaf right now, when our 0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:41.680 COMMUNI is really being attacked and struggled this way. And 0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:44.200 I said, listen, I one hundred percent hear you. When 0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:46.400 I was talking on this exact live that I got 0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:50.240 this minute bite from, I talked about how students need 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:52.920 to learn about taxes early, and high school courses allowed 0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:55.920 you to learn that, including the fact that undocumented immigrants 0:30:55.960 --> 0:31:00.560 paid over ninety billion dollars of taxes. So I'm not 0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:06.160 ignoring it. It's just really hard. But I totally understand 0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:08.080 her position. Like I saw the comment and I was like, 0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:09.680 I'm not even going to be I'm not even going 0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:12.960 to be aggressive or ever Stereo here I just was like, yes, this, 0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:15.920 I hear you. I'm with you on this. I spoke. 0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:18.520 I use my platform when I can't to speak on it. 0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.120 I completely get it. But I'm also not going to 0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:23.240 stop fighting the good fight that I've been fighting, that 0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:25.400 my calling is to fight for, which is for access 0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:27.680 to financial education for all of us in this country. 0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:31.160 So companies wants, I mean hello, because I didn't send 0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:32.160 for you people, But. 0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:35.760 I understand the algorithm. It's like people don't do their 0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:37.560 You can see a post from someone that's like from 0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:40.000 a week before, and it's out of context and it 0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:43.200 makes are you posting about this? But people don't just 0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:46.120 like click on a profile to then see, oh, let 0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:47.960 me see what else that person has said. They just 0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:52.560 want to fire off a quick comment. Yep, you know yourself. 0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:55.160 Internet thugs, internet warriors coming from me on your low 0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:55.880 comments section. 0:31:56.720 --> 0:32:00.160 I've got someone thinking of ice. There's some really happy news. 0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:03.360 This first sentence in this article gave me chills as 0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:05.080 I was just reading it, even though I already knew 0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:08.880 the news. But my Mood Khalil, this is the sentence 0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:12.320 ma Mood Khalil emerged from the airport gate fist raised 0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:14.800 and smiling to a cheering crowd as he pushed his 0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:19.240 newborn baby stroller with his arm around his wife. My 0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.280 mood is free, y'all. He got out. I'm mad they 0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:24.920 put him through Newark International Airport because y'all know Newark. 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:27.320 They could have they could have done they could have 0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:29.160 done the guardios, they could have done the guardious right there. 0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:31.840 Right, even if they take the JFK. But he's out, 0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:34.040 So that's some happiness. He should not have been there 0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:36.040 in the first place. But to part him with his 0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:39.160 newborn baby. I had forgotten that his wife was pregnant, 0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.240 extremely pregnant when this man was kidnapped. 0:32:42.760 --> 0:32:46.880 Yesh, So imagine having to experience that. Oh my goodness, 0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:48.000 Oh my goodness. 0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:49.160 Uh. 0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:53.000 The injustice and the fact that some lawmakers are using 0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:55.240 this on their social media profiles to say, now that 0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:57.440 he's back, we can sentence him, now, we can get 0:32:57.480 --> 0:32:59.320 him in the court, now we can figure out what 0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:02.680 he did wrong. Is like, wait a minute, Now we 0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:04.960 can celebrate that he's free. What are you talking about? 0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:09.920 It is wild how people sway things and twisting. Oh 0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:11.200 my goodness, I can't. 0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:14.040 Well, let's focus on the positive. He was with that 0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:14.840 cute baby on. 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.760 Lli, I know, cute baby and his wifey and AOC 0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:19.200 was there to greet him and welcome him. 0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:21.840 No, AOC. It was a little bit awkward. I think 0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:23.320 when he rushed it, he think he was going to 0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:25.720 hug some loved ones, and he kind of pushed her 0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:26.560 out of the way. 0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:31.880 She should have. 0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:34.000 Been like, oh, please, yeah, war here, carry your bag 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:38.240 for you. People were saying like, oh, she shouldn't have 0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:39.800 been there, it was a photo op or whatever. 0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:42.400 I think it's fine if she was there. I just 0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:43.800 don't think she should have been like the first person 0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:45.680 he hoped he got off the butt. I mean, you 0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:49.160 know it is no no, but one of the you know, 0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:50.680 one of the first few people. It's like, I think 0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:52.960 I would have waited, and once all that stuff was gone, 0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:54.040 I'd be like, hey, I just want you to know 0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:56.120 I'm here and I wanted to see you and support 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:57.760 you and welcome you back. But I wouldn't make it 0:33:58.080 --> 0:33:59.880 about me, per se. I don't think she did. But 0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:02.000 if people are complaining to say, oh, she shouldn't have 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:04.360 been up there in the forefront, like she still should not, 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:06.920 it's not fair to say she shouldn't be there exactly. 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:08.799 You know, I don't think that's fair to say, like 0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:10.960 not being their period is crazy. 0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:12.719 It's crazy because is the time when you need to 0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:14.640 see that there are government people in the government who 0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:17.600 are supporting the right side, right, and they're not the 0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:20.600 right side, but the correct side, you know of like hey, 0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:23.480 like there are people fighting to make sure this doesn't 0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:24.720 continue to happen to people. 0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:28.840 Yeah, yeah, and making sure her face is connected. 0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:31.080 And she has been so outspoken trying to get. 0:34:31.040 --> 0:34:35.319 Him out, Yeah, trying to end this dehumanizing rhetoric. At 0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:36.839 the end of the day, Like, I think that's what 0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:38.440 she has been all about. So for her to be there, 0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:40.759 I think was totally fine as long as there was 0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:43.120 no intention to make it all about her, which I didn't. 0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:44.200 I didn't get that sense at all. 0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:48.640 Yeah, well, people are rallying and support of him, and again, 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.720 like the conflict in Gaza, not the conflict is too 0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:55.480 small of a word. The genocide, the brutality that's happening 0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:58.480 in Gaza is still happening. So people like him who 0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.839 are speaking out, I think time for American citizens, as 0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:03.920 scary as it can be, it's almost like we have 0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:07.840 a privilege being a citizen because they are actively trying 0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:12.200 to target non US citizens or people who were here 0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:15.640 at immigration visas, target those who have spoken down against 0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:18.799 what's happening in the middle of what's happening in Palestine, 0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:23.319 in Gaza, what's been happening for Are we going on 0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:25.880 two years now? Jeez? 0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:29.800 I mean, I mean, depending on how you define the conflict, 0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:30.600 this is the question. 0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:34.719 Well since October seventh. Oh, yes, you're so right, of course, yes, yeah, 0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:36.680 that was my first One of my first impressions of 0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:39.200 New York was coming here biking past the UN in 0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:42.520 twenty ten and seeing the protesters outside the UN with 0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:46.640 the Palestinian flags and being like, well, what's that about, 0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:52.800 and just not really understanding. But yeah, it continues to 0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:56.279 rage on. And yes, two years since October seventh, and 0:35:57.680 --> 0:36:02.080 many decades that they have been and brutalized in this way, 0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:05.880 and it's yeah, it's really heavy. But I think what 0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:09.239 I was just trying to say is like, as US citizens, 0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:12.719 I hope we would have some measure of protection, even 0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:16.000 more so than those who who may feel afraid for 0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:20.200 their families, lives, their lives, their ability to continue working, 0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:23.759 studying living here. So if you can, you know, and 0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:25.840 I think in this small way talking about it helps 0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:30.279 platform their message totally at a time when they're being 0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:32.040 targeted yep. 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:34.000 And not being afraid to speak out even though they're 0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:38.600 trying to scare us straight scare scare us silent really 0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:39.640 is what they're trying to do. I mean, if you 0:36:39.640 --> 0:36:45.320 look at the potential the prospective mayoral candidate Lander in Brooklyn, 0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:50.759 New York, who was like silenced and violently like put 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.840 up against the wall by like by the ice officers 0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:57.000 because because he was trying to speak up. 0:36:57.440 --> 0:36:59.680 This was a was he running from there? 0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:02.680 Yeah, Brandon Lander, He's running from there in New York City. 0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:04.120 It's too many of them. I can't keep. 0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:05.080 Tracks, y'all. 0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:07.440 It's like my knee want to text me. 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:11.080 My niece texted me literally, she was like THEA, I 0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:12.960 think I might need your help.

I said, baby, you got to rank 0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:18.799 themb Honey, that you means you got to put you 0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:20.799 got to bubble all of them in the spot. And 0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:23.040 don't bubble two numbers for one person, and don't bubble 0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:24.840 one person for the same number, two people for the 0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.640 same number. It's literally like the most confusing process. I 0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:29.799 feel sorry for my New York because like there are 0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:34.480 people literally who don't understand and they want to do. Yeah, 0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:36.520 they wanted to do the research. They wanted to understand, 0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:38.520 but it's such a complex system and process, and there's 0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:41.120 so many players, there's so many characters to just even 0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:44.359 get familiar with. And oh my goodness, but I am 0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:45.000 very proud of. 0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:47.719 Such a terrible track record with choosing mayors. I'm saying 0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:49.360 we I don't live in New York City anymore, but. 0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:53.239 All of us were all responsible, you know, we are responsible. 0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:56.279 We're like, we're like because Paddy, who doesn't know she's 0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:58.319 a baddie and it's like with a trash We're like 0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:01.480 Hallie Bailey and these mayors are like, who's her boy? 0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:05.560 Her ex ddp ddposdd, whatever. 0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:05.719 His name was. 0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:10.080 It was like, was it his twitch name that I'm 0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:12.480 thinking of? Whatever? The manchild? 0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:14.960 Right, accurate description work. 0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:17.520 But the twenty fourth is tomorrow, that's when they'll be 0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:18.760 That's the primary, right. 0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:22.680 Yes, And I think New York is very is very 0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:28.240 much so desperately trying to feel relatable to the people 0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:31.160 who are in charge. We desperately want to get rid 0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:33.800 of these people who come up there and are condescending 0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:36.560 and are talking down at us and are doing politics 0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:39.680 as usual with their corruption behind the scenes. And so 0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:41.560 instead we want to pick people who look like us, 0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:43.440 sound like us, talk like us, act like us. But 0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:47.160 we focus so much, we over index on the relatability 0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:51.640 that we don't focus on what are the actual credentials, 0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:54.719 what's actually happening, what is this person actually about. And 0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:57.640 I'm not, you know, here to to talk crap about anybody, 0:38:57.640 --> 0:39:00.680 but the mayor who used to be the Brooklyn or president. 0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:03.800 I had some experience working with in the capacity of 0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:07.759 Brooklyn Borough President, and I had seen firsthand working with 0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:09.920 the Brooklyn Borough President's office how a lot of it 0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:12.200 was all talk and a lot of it was yah, yeah, yeah, 0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:13.880 yeah yeah. And then when you follow through, when you 0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:15.520 follow up, there was there was no follow through. It 0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:18.160 was like all talk. Oh, we definitely could make a 0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:19.920 press release out of that, we can make it a 0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:22.840 pres event, we could take pictures, but no meaning, no 0:39:23.239 --> 0:39:27.840 actual impact, no real true commitment to goals and to 0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:31.400 a long term project plan. And so I early on 0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:34.120 was like, Hugh, I don't know about this, and I'm 0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:37.080 from Brooklyn. So of course everyone that I knew was like, 0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:39.239 what you made out Brooklyn Borough president. He got to 0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:41.480 be mayor, and then all of a sudden, all this 0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:45.000 stuff starts coming out once once this person is mayor, 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:48.600 and people are like, get him out, he's trashed. I'm like, 0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:52.640 you were the ones who were blindly supporting because how relatable. 0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:55.759 And so we got to stop over indexing for the 0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:58.439 things that New Yorkers love, which is the real talk, 0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:00.520 straight talk, talk to me, shay, you know, no bs. 0:40:00.600 --> 0:40:02.760 But this is why so many people actually who voted 0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:07.120 for Trump also voted for AOC. Weird right, you would think, wait, 0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:11.919 what how you're gonna because people over index for straight talk, 0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:13.880 real talk, no hearing your tongue. You say it like 0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:16.319 it is. You're not about the BS. You have to 0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:18.560 you know, anti establishment. You just say what you And 0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.480 that is truly what I think the mistake is in 0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:23.960 New York City is we so hard over index for that. 0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:26.200 We got to cut that out, y'all. We I mean, 0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:27.839 I say, we I live in Miami now, but I'm 0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:29.640 in New Yorker today. I died. We need to stop. 0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:30.600 We need to cut that out. 0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:33.920 We love an extrovert, Like, we need to really value 0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:38.239 the quiet. I mean, we almost elected that Uma Aberdeen's trash, Like, 0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:42.279 wasn't he about to her? Ex pervert? And now I'm like, 0:40:42.440 --> 0:40:44.520 but the fact that Andrew Cuomo thinks he has has 0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:46.919 a real shot. Bill Clinton is on the stump for him, 0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.560 Oh my god, throw them both away. 0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:51.720 Til I was so shocked when I saw that Clinton. 0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:54.000 Excuse me, you're trying to. 0:40:55.560 --> 0:40:59.839 You Bill for people respect you Bill respected you Bill? 0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:01.200 What is going on? 0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:03.640 He's like really old? Now he's like whatever, I'll show up. 0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:07.800 How do I pivot from that to Megan and the 0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:09.960 Stallion on Love Island? I don't know if I'll even go. 0:41:10.080 --> 0:41:12.160 You know what, I have a little bit of a 0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:14.480 pivot because while you were talking about why New Yorkers 0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:16.440 are always conned by people that we vote for, I 0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:20.600 was about to bring up Ace. I felt like a 0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:23.880 a yes, because I feel like Ace is the perfect 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:26.479 example for an analogy here, because when you start watching 0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:28.520 the show, you just love Ace. You just love Ace 0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:31.400 because you know he's so real, he's so rough, so 0:41:31.480 --> 0:41:33.120 Jenue down to Then all of a. 0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:37.200 Sudden, a couple of episodes in and you're like, we 0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:38.400 hate him for Shelley. 0:41:38.520 --> 0:41:40.520 Ace, What the hell are you doing? All these old 0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:41.600 heroier motives? 0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:41.839 Ace? 0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:44.160 What the f And this is truly a great connection 0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:45.960 to what we just talked about New York with politics, 0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:48.360 because this is how people operate. They come out the woodwork, 0:41:48.360 --> 0:41:50.880 they're all positive upfront. Then over time you start to 0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:55.080 see the ulterior motives that they had all along. Hello, Ace, 0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:55.719 what's up? 0:41:55.960 --> 0:41:56.080 Like? 0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:59.760 Why is he so messy? Why is what is the vindictiveness? 0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:00.759 Child? 0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:02.360 What is with this Ace behavior? 0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:02.680 Like? 0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:05.200 I was so upset, Like I just saw the episode 0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:08.560 where he convinced all the boys to vote Jeremiah off. 0:42:08.640 --> 0:42:11.160 Sorry if that's a spoiler for anybody listening, but you 0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:11.800 know how. 0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:14.759 You going, how you I don't watch the votings. They 0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.440 annoy me. I will fast forward and just get to 0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:19.200 the good stuff. So I think I missed all of that, 0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:21.040 But was it, teacher to go back and watch it? 0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:23.080 You should? And honestly, what I do is I. 0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:25.319 Just nater Jeremiah too. He was such a dick. 0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:30.320 Okay, So literally America voted and they basically put the 0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:33.200 three girls and the three boys who had the least 0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:36.680 votes from America up on the front of the fire 0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:39.120 pit whatever. And so then there were six people, three girls, 0:42:39.120 --> 0:42:41.319 three guys, and the rest of the cast members who 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:43.719 were safe had to vote off one girl, one guy. 0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:45.520 Girls had to vote off one girl, and the guys 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:48.560 had to vote off one guy. So literally, earlier in 0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:52.880 the episode, you see Ace moving to Nick and to Austin, 0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:55.120 and so all his boys like, oh, you guys, you 0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:58.160 see how Jeremiah was all love bombinghood and now he's 0:42:58.200 --> 0:42:59.120 doing the same thing. 0:42:59.400 --> 0:42:59.880 Now he's doing this. 0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:03.320 You see da da da, And he was like working 0:43:03.320 --> 0:43:06.680 his little influence on them. And so when the vote happened, 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:09.080 I'm sorry, but I think I can speak for everyone 0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:11.120 who watches the show, and I say, we all thought 0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:14.160 Austin was going his ass home. Austin has no business 0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:17.680 in the house. Don't nobody like him, don't nobody like him, 0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:18.840 don't know about it. 0:43:19.480 --> 0:43:23.040 Before the despicable display during the work challenge with Megan 0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:24.960 thee Stallion, I hate him more after the way he 0:43:25.080 --> 0:43:28.279 is treating Homegirl Dominican homegirl. What's her name? 0:43:28.600 --> 0:43:31.680 Andrena, Well, there's two Amaya with a little bit of 0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:35.759 a little bit of Andrea was raised in Spain, but 0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:39.959 she's from the win Public. Okay, she was Spain, lives 0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:42.000 in Jersey. Yeah, she's She's from a lot of places. 0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:43.760 She said, I live in New Jersey, but I'm Dominican, 0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:45.400 but my family from but I was raised in Spain, 0:43:45.560 --> 0:43:49.799 so all the oldest places. But but yeah, I think 0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:50.440 I know. 0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:54.200 Austin gives me such the eck. You know his family 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:57.000 and he's from Michigan. I just can't take it. 0:43:57.040 --> 0:43:59.359 I mean, look, if there was even one person who 0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:02.399 was interested in Austin, actually I would have been fine. 0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:05.040 But Amaya, she's just trying to pretend she's interested in 0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:06.880 Austin because she needs to be safe. She needs a 0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:09.480 way to stay on this damn I villa. She doesn't 0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:11.560 have one. She doesn't have one prospect, so if she 0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:13.560 doesn't make a prospect, she's out the villa. So she 0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:16.560 had to pretend she likes Austin. Austin doesn't like her. 0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:19.759 Austin doesn't like anyone, So send his ass home. Oh no, no, 0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:22.799 they send Jeremiah home, even though he genuinely was into 0:44:22.840 --> 0:44:25.520 Hoodah tried with Iris but then she was like, nah boo, 0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:28.360 I feel like we're platonic. And then now he's into 0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:31.560 Andrena They just jealous that he's with Andrena, so they 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:33.920 kicked his ass out, and I'm just like, how are 0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:36.880 you gonna tell me that it's because he didn't actually 0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:39.520 tried with women when he tried with three women. And 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:42.000 not only that, but Tay. I love Taylor, but like, 0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:45.319 what woman besides the laundria the Taylor tried to get 0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:48.080 with Amen exploring who is he? Exploring way why does 0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:49.600 he get to stay? Why he's safe in the village? 0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.160 Can we just do like a live watch Sash, like, 0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:53.680 who are you watching leve Islin. 0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:55.279 With my boyfriend? 0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:56.319 Is he into it? 0:44:57.080 --> 0:44:57.160 No? 0:44:57.320 --> 0:44:58.680 But I forced I twisted his arm. 0:44:59.239 --> 0:45:02.280 See, I only want to be watching it with people 0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:03.799 like you, and I don't have any people like you 0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:07.879 in my immediate vicinity.

Was 0:45:19.800 --> 0:45:21.640 a baby shower going on from a brother and then 0:45:21.680 --> 0:45:24.520 it was Father's Day and my mom was I walk 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:26.960 in and she's watching Love Island. I didn't know what 0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:28.799 this was. I was like, you're watching was it? When 0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:29.880 I think it was Love is Blind. I was like, 0:45:30.080 --> 0:45:31.319 love is Blind or something. I was one of the 0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:33.360 love shows. No, it's Love Island.

So I sat 0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:48.160 down and I watched it. It was like it was 0:45:48.200 --> 0:45:50.440 a pretty ten episode. I was like, okay, whatever, you know. 0:45:50.960 --> 0:45:53.000 She was. She was happy. I decided to spend time there. 0:45:53.200 --> 0:45:55.600 But then the next day another episode came on. I'm like, 0:45:55.640 --> 0:46:00.680 this is on again. She's like, I'm like, I thought 0:46:00.680 --> 0:46:02.600 this was like a what's a week? Show?

I gotta leave. 0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:24.800 I was like, that's a awkward. 0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:25.440 I'm not watching. 0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:27.680 I cannot be in this room. 0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:31.480 Soft point, I said, soft point, let's call it. 0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:32.480 It's bad. 0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:34.719 I said, you nasty for watching this. I'm out. 0:46:34.840 --> 0:46:38.279 I couldn't be on. That's why I could have be 0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:40.320 on Like TV TV, it has to be on. Peacock 0:46:40.360 --> 0:46:41.640 has to be on the streamer right. 0:46:41.840 --> 0:46:43.800 Let your fama reminisce she was a bad. 0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:45.759 I don't want to we're not even talking about that. 0:46:45.800 --> 0:46:47.359 I'm not there. I don't want to think about that. 0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:48.160 We don't need to. 0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:52.160 We watched The Megan thee Stallion and one y'all love this. 0:46:52.280 --> 0:46:54.120 The day my dad got out of the hospital. I 0:46:54.160 --> 0:46:56.960 turned that on. I was like, we're gonna get Magian food. 0:46:56.960 --> 0:46:59.040 We're going to watch The Megan thee Stallion. It was 0:46:59.200 --> 0:47:01.000 so good. Meg. 0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:04.480 First of all, I don't love her personality. 0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:08.680 She's faddy, unreal, doesn't make sense, and she's talented, but that's, 0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:09.800 you know, the first and foremost. 0:47:10.080 --> 0:47:11.800 I didn't know she was. I may myself have to 0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:14.680 go cue that episode just to understand what you were 0:47:14.680 --> 0:47:16.400 talking about and then go back and see what was going. 0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:18.200 On with anthropological research. 0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:20.640 Just for research purposes for sure, for just research. But 0:47:20.880 --> 0:47:24.040 Megan was is so natural and so genuine. You know, 0:47:24.080 --> 0:47:26.120 there's so many people that come on and it's forced 0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:28.560 and it's fake. Meg is actually a fan of the show. 0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:31.480 She knew the details intimately, and yeah, she was there 0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:33.480 to promote. She was there to promote a little bit 0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:35.680 bathing suit line. But so what she did it in 0:47:35.719 --> 0:47:39.200 a very natural, genuine way, mad respect. I love that episode. 0:47:39.280 --> 0:47:41.160 I one hundred percent enjoyed it. And she added a 0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:43.320 lot of fun and flared to that episode. 0:47:43.400 --> 0:47:45.440 So I love the marketing tie in. I thought, well, 0:47:45.480 --> 0:47:47.880 this is lovely. Is she a fan? But she has 0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:50.160 a swimsuit line coming out? Will I ever wear it? 0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:52.640 Maybe the one with like the mad underboob, like the 0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:57.680 one the one that the kind of witchy one was wearing. 0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:03.800 She she is witchy. She is witchy, like she's brewied. 0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:06.760 She pour in a big old yeah, like I feel 0:48:06.760 --> 0:48:10.319 like she's got crystals under her boots at all times, 0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:12.720 and probably some tarot cards. I bet she does everyone's 0:48:12.719 --> 0:48:15.640 readings and like kind of white girl dreads. Sometimes I 0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:17.920 got scared one time, but they're not actually dread it's 0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:20.520 just a little braids. She was doing. But she does braids. 0:48:20.640 --> 0:48:22.880 She does braids. I will tell you though, she is 0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:24.879 the one that I am most impressed with in terms 0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:27.360 of her maturity level for the age of twenty five. 0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:29.400 I mean the way that she carries. 0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:33.279 Herself away pretty old island. No, is she twenty five. 0:48:33.360 --> 0:48:35.279 I just assume she's twenty five. But I feel like 0:48:35.400 --> 0:48:38.040 for their age, being in your twenties, I don't. I 0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:40.360 just feel like they're all so immature. I mean, Hudda 0:48:40.480 --> 0:48:42.520 is the queen of saying I'm so mature. I'm a 0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:44.560 girl's girl, and she's immature and not a girl's girl, 0:48:44.600 --> 0:48:47.239 so it's crazy. But then you have Sierra, who genuinely 0:48:47.360 --> 0:48:50.479 is a girl's girl. She's very mature. She's like, tries 0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:52.640 very hard to be logical and not emotional, although recently 0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:54.480 she's been very emotional because she sees that Nick is 0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:56.800 interested in Andrena, so she's getting a little jealous. 0:48:57.120 --> 0:48:58.920 But I just mean, I'm not mad at her, but that. 0:49:00.560 --> 0:49:02.960 It's a lot. I think that she she started to 0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:04.759 deal with like a little bit of yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:49:04.760 --> 0:49:06.960 for sure. But anyway, I think she's very mature, Like 0:49:06.960 --> 0:49:09.000 when I hear how she approaches some of the conversations 0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:11.520 and how she addresses conflict. I always like, okay, girl, 0:49:11.520 --> 0:49:13.680 wives beyond your years, and Ace was giving me that 0:49:13.719 --> 0:49:15.600 a little bit at the beginning, but now I can't 0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:16.160 stay an Ace. 0:49:17.239 --> 0:49:19.480 He is like, first of all, Shelley reminds me so 0:49:19.560 --> 0:49:21.399 much of Halle Bailey, just in her little like her 0:49:21.640 --> 0:49:25.279 Disney Princess looks like I just like put her in 0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:28.920 Universal Studio. She can play Aeriel all day every day. 0:49:29.120 --> 0:49:32.520 She is just adorable. But then Ace is giving that 0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:36.719 like that not good enough for her, Like has some 0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:39.319 funny jokes and some quirks, and it makes me sick 0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:41.879 to see them get like getting closer together. Now I've 0:49:41.880 --> 0:49:44.960 missed huge chunks of the show because my love isoland. 0:49:45.040 --> 0:49:48.840 Routine is usually to watch the recap and then skip 0:49:49.080 --> 0:49:50.880 through the middle until I get to the end and 0:49:50.920 --> 0:49:52.759 watch the last like ten minutes. 0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:53.560 Because nothing is happening. 0:49:54.080 --> 0:49:56.480 Just skip ahead, nothing happening. So there's a lot of 0:49:56.480 --> 0:49:58.359 long pot it was good. 0:49:58.400 --> 0:50:00.000 I'll go back and watch it, you know what I mean. 0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:02.799 There's a lot of long pauses, and it's a reality show, 0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:05.160 so like oftentimes it'll be like and so the girl 0:50:05.200 --> 0:50:10.840 that I choose is thirty seconds later. Yes, right, so 0:50:10.560 --> 0:50:12.840 just fast forward. I just fast forward, fast forward, fastward 0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:14.680 until I see them talking, and then I'll go back 0:50:14.680 --> 0:50:16.640 ten seconds and watch. So I just skip all the 0:50:16.680 --> 0:50:18.480 pauses and bread so I'm like, I got time for this. 0:50:18.480 --> 0:50:19.200 This is so stupid. 0:50:19.200 --> 0:50:20.839 This is such a waste. 0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:24.359 Hey, ba fam, We're gonna take a quick break, pay 0:50:24.400 --> 0:50:28.600 some bills, and we'll be right back. All right, ba Fam, 0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:32.920 We're back. By the way, Nelly, I'm gonna be in Miami, Miami, 0:50:33.040 --> 0:50:34.840 which you're never there. I feel like, even though you. 0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:36.080 Les that's what I was about to say, I said, 0:50:36.080 --> 0:50:38.360 what dates girl? You know, because I'm always I'm going to. 0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:41.000 Be there for three days by myself because I'm speaking 0:50:41.000 --> 0:50:42.880 at Color Calm. It's just. 0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:44.680 Wait. 0:50:44.960 --> 0:50:47.600 Be very excited. I'm get to do a panel on 0:50:47.680 --> 0:50:51.040 podcasting and I get to do it with one of 0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:53.000 my I forget who the third panelist is. One of 0:50:53.000 --> 0:50:56.640 them is Ayusha Roscoe from NPR. I am such a fan. 0:50:56.680 --> 0:50:59.040 I love her so much. I'm gonna have to not 0:50:59.120 --> 0:50:59.920 be weird. 0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:03.239 Because I know a little weird. I don't know. 0:51:03.640 --> 0:51:07.120 That's so much like to hear her voice on NPR. 0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:09.839 I will get it. I was not an NPR kid 0:51:09.880 --> 0:51:11.560 growing up.

I mean I was 0:51:14.560 --> 0:51:16.920 an NPR college kid. But growing up in. 0:51:16.880 --> 0:51:20.000 College, people made me feel dumb, like dumb for not 0:51:20.040 --> 0:51:22.840 knowing what NPR was, like not knowing this shit. I 0:51:22.840 --> 0:51:24.799 could tell you what NPR was, but I didn't know 0:51:24.840 --> 0:51:26.840 there was a local station, and like there is is 0:51:26.960 --> 0:51:30.400 like all things considered and like you know, this American 0:51:30.480 --> 0:51:34.080 life and all that that was not my I was 0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:34.920 third ninety four. 0:51:36.840 --> 0:51:40.280 Up is July twenty fifth in Miami.

They don't have any during the day, 0:53:02.640 --> 0:53:04.239 so you would have to fly red eye or leave 0:53:04.360 --> 0:53:06.440 super early in the morning, like at five six am. 0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:08.520 It's very annoying.

Now. Now I'm hoping that 0:53:39.840 --> 0:53:42.440 Paris in London. I saw her in London. I love 0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:44.480 that show so much. I don't know. People say that 0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:46.920 she loves London more than America. I don't remember. I 0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:47.319 don't have men. 0:53:47.440 --> 0:53:49.840 You can't live in more than Houston, her own hometown, I. 0:53:49.920 --> 0:53:52.560 Know, But like she was doing I guess, different songs. 0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:56.680 And then in Paris though, Miley came out, Miley and 0:53:56.880 --> 0:53:58.840 j Z and Jays. 0:54:00.280 --> 0:54:02.960 Yeah, that was crazy.

Like I just know the vibes are 0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:38.400 going to be on one hundred and it's going to 0:54:38.640 --> 0:54:42.759 everything I need. And I wouldn't be alone, you know 0:54:42.760 --> 0:54:42.920 what I. 0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:44.839 Mean, You won't absolutely not. It's never never, it's gonna 0:54:44.840 --> 0:54:47.000 feel like that. I went to Usher in Atlanta and 0:54:47.040 --> 0:54:53.520 it was incredible. But but in which my homegirls in Atlanta, 0:54:53.560 --> 0:54:55.360 she works at the CDC, So every time I'm in Atlanta, 0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:57.759 I'll go hang out with her. But this time, my 0:54:57.880 --> 0:54:59.880 knees had begged me, begged me, beg me to do 0:54:59.920 --> 0:55:02.239 it in Houston opening night, and she just finished paying 0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:04.160 off her student loans.

She worked 0:56:55.960 --> 0:56:58.560 it into a country album, but it's a lot of nasty. 0:56:58.640 --> 0:57:01.840 I think it's a nasty We didn't get through the 0:57:01.840 --> 0:57:04.480 whole we listened to like the first five tracks. I 0:57:04.560 --> 0:57:08.919 might have skipped like a couple in the middle. I yeah, 0:57:08.960 --> 0:57:10.840 I don't know. I don't think it's very spicy. 0:57:11.600 --> 0:57:14.120 But see, when you really listen between the lines, you're like. 0:57:14.440 --> 0:57:16.400 I'm sure it is because she got. 0:57:16.200 --> 0:57:19.080 Some mature themes. She got some mature themes and some 0:57:19.120 --> 0:57:21.360 sensual undertones, if you know what I mean. 0:57:21.680 --> 0:57:24.800 Do you have a Beyonce figure? Like, who's your Beyonce? 0:57:24.960 --> 0:57:25.720 Who would you like? 0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:26.840 Pay? 0:57:28.920 --> 0:57:31.080 Yeah? 0:57:31.880 --> 0:57:34.600 I like music, like I got nobody I care. 0:57:34.520 --> 0:57:37.480 About like that, Like you're not a concert guy or 0:57:37.480 --> 0:57:40.040 you just don't know how many music artists that's your person. 0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:42.320 Okay, I like all kinds of music, but I'm not 0:57:42.400 --> 0:57:44.360 like you got anybody. I'm like, oh, I gotta go 0:57:44.400 --> 0:57:46.360 see them. I'm not a concert person. Does that mean? 0:57:46.840 --> 0:57:48.600 But I do love live music, so it's kind of weird. 0:57:48.600 --> 0:57:49.360 It doesn't really make sense. 0:57:49.440 --> 0:57:51.920 I don't trust people are well. 0:57:51.960 --> 0:57:54.400 I think a concert is different from live music in 0:57:54.480 --> 0:57:57.000 terms of like a live music experience usually for me 0:57:57.200 --> 0:58:00.160 is much more intimate and smaller. Like live music, I 0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:03.680 feel like I can actually see the instruments like that 0:58:03.880 --> 0:58:08.440 within like versus a concert. For me, it kind of 0:58:08.440 --> 0:58:11.280 takes away the live music feeling of it. It's more 0:58:11.320 --> 0:58:14.400 of an experience rather than like a live music spectacle. 0:58:14.600 --> 0:58:16.760 It's art, yes, yes, theater. 0:58:17.360 --> 0:58:17.840 It's theater. 0:58:18.080 --> 0:58:19.800 It's especially acrobatics. 0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:22.520 It's acrobatics. It's that kind of thing. It's not more 0:58:22.560 --> 0:58:25.200 circusolate than it is like a live music thing. Because 0:58:25.200 --> 0:58:27.920 I do love live music in smaller settings. I love that, 0:58:28.040 --> 0:58:30.120 but concerts, but I feel you. 0:58:30.160 --> 0:58:33.320 I'll take it all. But yeah, I saw her from 0:58:33.520 --> 0:58:36.200 the floor in London, on the floor to the east, 0:58:36.400 --> 0:58:39.160 so I saw one very specific viewpoint. I am just 0:58:39.200 --> 0:58:42.880 excited to be dead center. Also, the screen stopped working 0:58:43.000 --> 0:58:45.320 during this one dance routine where she had like, no 0:58:45.440 --> 0:58:48.160 spoilers for you, Nelly, but anyway, and I want to 0:58:48.160 --> 0:58:49.080 see it up close. 0:58:49.400 --> 0:58:52.280 So okay, I'm not mad at you go. 0:58:52.920 --> 0:58:54.920 So I'm gonna get my one fifty stub Hub credit 0:58:56.040 --> 0:58:57.640 and let's take a quick break.

And so we spent a 1:01:02.520 --> 1:01:04.880 whole day doing this. We started at like we started 1:01:04.880 --> 1:01:06.400 at ten in the morning and we went to about 1:01:06.440 --> 1:01:07.640 four and the Africa. 1:01:07.880 --> 1:01:09.439 Your friend coming up with it on their own. 1:01:10.480 --> 1:01:12.400 No, No, she does this for a living, so she 1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:16.200 does a lot of facilitation of these for companies, for startups, 1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:18.800 for founders and things like that. I met her through 1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:21.160 Burna because Berna was there doing this with us. It 1:01:21.200 --> 1:01:24.560 was me, Berna and b was there and a couple. 1:01:24.360 --> 1:01:26.320 Other friends whatever you want. 1:01:27.040 --> 1:01:28.880 I know. It's it's it's like it's like it's like 1:01:28.960 --> 1:01:30.280 it's like your credit card parks. This is the San 1:01:30.280 --> 1:01:33.960 Francisco perk. I get to hang out with Berna and uh. 1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:36.240 It was really interesting because like basically she gave us 1:01:36.240 --> 1:01:37.920 like a little bit of homework before the event started, 1:01:37.920 --> 1:01:39.880 before the day and she's like, Okay, I want you 1:01:39.920 --> 1:01:43.800 to sit down and map out your life and any 1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:47.640 important milestone so other it's like personal career wise, whatever 1:01:47.680 --> 1:01:50.720 it may be, and plotted on a timeline, and she 1:01:50.720 --> 1:01:52.640 said some link to this thing is called a mirror board. 1:01:52.960 --> 1:01:55.600 And it's basically like almost like a if you can 1:01:55.600 --> 1:01:58.200 imagine like a big workspace where you can build like 1:01:58.560 --> 1:02:00.880 sheets and forms things like that, and you can like 1:02:00.920 --> 1:02:03.120 type and work directly in it. And so she gave 1:02:03.200 --> 1:02:04.640 us all these pre made things. 1:02:04.520 --> 1:02:05.880 Like a kind of thing. 1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:08.680 It sounds like no shot, not notion, because it's more 1:02:08.720 --> 1:02:11.080 free flowing. It's like you have a big like what 1:02:11.080 --> 1:02:12.840 do they call it, like a grid paper? She had 1:02:12.840 --> 1:02:14.760 a grid paper, but it like you can move around 1:02:14.760 --> 1:02:16.720 and add things to and you can zoom in, zoom out, 1:02:16.960 --> 1:02:19.760 and if they use for presentations and for working through 1:02:19.800 --> 1:02:22.720 ideas and mapping things out. And so you have this 1:02:22.960 --> 1:02:24.800 timeline and you have like a little post notes you 1:02:24.840 --> 1:02:26.560 can put on there and then type onto it, and 1:02:26.600 --> 1:02:28.160 then you can like link things together. And so you 1:02:28.160 --> 1:02:29.560 start off with like what was this big like what 1:02:29.600 --> 1:02:31.920 are the things in your life? Were there or decisions 1:02:31.960 --> 1:02:34.760 you made that you that kind of shaped where you 1:02:34.800 --> 1:02:36.919 are now or could have forked off and gone somewhere else, 1:02:36.920 --> 1:02:38.560 and you have to sit there and think through all 1:02:38.600 --> 1:02:40.640 of this, and then you have to put down what 1:02:40.680 --> 1:02:42.560 did you do? And then if you what if you 1:02:42.600 --> 1:02:44.320 hadn't have chosen this, what would you have done? What 1:02:44.320 --> 1:02:46.320 would have life done look like? Or what how did 1:02:46.360 --> 1:02:49.200 you feel when you made those decisions? Before, during, and after. 1:02:49.280 --> 1:02:51.840 You have to do that for your old timeline, and 1:02:52.200 --> 1:02:55.200 it really makes you reflect on all the decisions you 1:02:55.280 --> 1:02:57.480 made and like why, Like why did you make that decision? 1:02:57.480 --> 1:02:59.680 And did you feel good about it? And the things 1:02:59.680 --> 1:03:01.120 you didn't feel good about. It kind of gives you 1:03:01.200 --> 1:03:03.080 insight into like, oh I didn't I actually didn't end 1:03:03.160 --> 1:03:05.320 up liking this. Maybe I took something from it, But 1:03:05.560 --> 1:03:07.720 it helps you as you plan now to be like, oh, 1:03:08.080 --> 1:03:09.880 I don't want to do that again, or I really 1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:12.479 like this thing. And it was such a cool thought 1:03:12.520 --> 1:03:14.720 process because when we came together the next day we 1:03:14.760 --> 1:03:16.600 started kind of working on that a little bit more. 1:03:16.840 --> 1:03:19.040 And then from there what you do is you start 1:03:19.120 --> 1:03:21.320 thinking about like why do you want to make a change, 1:03:21.800 --> 1:03:24.240 and right, no, that's the reasons why. And then if 1:03:24.280 --> 1:03:26.880 you didn't make this change, what would you feel like 1:03:26.880 --> 1:03:28.680 how would your life be if you just didn't do anything, 1:03:29.120 --> 1:03:32.040 and you kind of keep diving into things piece by piece, 1:03:32.240 --> 1:03:34.000 and at the end of all this, to make a 1:03:34.000 --> 1:03:36.920 long story short, you end up with these things you 1:03:36.920 --> 1:03:38.440 take from each of these pages. So there's like a 1:03:38.480 --> 1:03:40.240 little some of the sheets have like a little box 1:03:40.240 --> 1:03:42.480 where it's like, Okay, what do you what was like 1:03:42.520 --> 1:03:44.200 the biggest thing you took away from this thing? So 1:03:44.240 --> 1:03:46.200 you go through and you vote. You have little dots, 1:03:46.240 --> 1:03:48.520 little stickers, you can digital stickers you can place on 1:03:48.600 --> 1:03:50.680 all the responses you gave through this whole long process, 1:03:50.920 --> 1:03:52.400 and then you look through the ones you voted for. 1:03:52.440 --> 1:03:54.400 It's like, oh, this was like this was meaningful to me, 1:03:54.920 --> 1:03:57.040 and then you move that down to this bigger worksheet 1:03:57.080 --> 1:03:58.840 and it builds almost kind of like a mad libs 1:03:58.920 --> 1:04:02.320 Like for me, it was like I really enjoy like 1:04:02.440 --> 1:04:05.040 video production, even though I'm thinking like I like, you know, 1:04:05.160 --> 1:04:07.440 making podcasts and stuff like this, but I really enjoy 1:04:07.880 --> 1:04:10.280 making things and being behind the scenes with a lot 1:04:10.280 --> 1:04:12.920 of stuff. And it's like, what do what do you value? 1:04:12.960 --> 1:04:14.800 And it was like, oh, I really enjoy working with 1:04:14.880 --> 1:04:17.880 other people and it kind of gave me thoughts, like 1:04:17.920 --> 1:04:20.320 insights into things that I didn't even think about. And 1:04:20.600 --> 1:04:23.600 maybe like, oh, I need to prioritize working with other 1:04:23.640 --> 1:04:25.520 people and not just working by myself all the time. 1:04:25.760 --> 1:04:28.120 I need to work on or focus on maybe trying 1:04:28.120 --> 1:04:30.200 out doing more behind the scenes production because that seems 1:04:30.200 --> 1:04:32.760 to be something that is enjoyable to me and it 1:04:32.880 --> 1:04:35.520 really gives you something to work with. And this is 1:04:35.520 --> 1:04:38.120 just step one. It's like stage one and then we're 1:04:38.120 --> 1:04:39.800 going to all get together another day and work on 1:04:39.840 --> 1:04:41.880 what comes after this, which is where you start brainstorming 1:04:41.920 --> 1:04:45.720 ideas from what you've learned about yourself. No, she's doing 1:04:45.760 --> 1:04:47.240 it for free. She charges other people for this, but 1:04:47.280 --> 1:04:49.320 because we're all friends, she's doing this for free for us, 1:04:49.400 --> 1:04:50.960 very kindly giving up her time for this. 1:04:53.320 --> 1:05:00.000 But I bet it was better coming from yourself. Ellah, 1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:04.080 you love people, You already pay to go to coworking spaces, 1:05:05.080 --> 1:05:09.440 and you're a you're a gizmo gadget dude. That sounds 1:05:09.440 --> 1:05:11.760 really great. It's also like carving out the time to 1:05:11.840 --> 1:05:15.439 reflect is just something that it never feels like there's 1:05:15.440 --> 1:05:18.120 a lot of time for, but it is so nice 1:05:18.200 --> 1:05:19.840 that you got to do it and that you've spent 1:05:19.920 --> 1:05:21.520 time and that it was a group activity. 1:05:22.240 --> 1:05:24.680 Yep, and people don't put that on the to do list. 1:05:24.920 --> 1:05:26.680 People don't put that on the to do list. Like 1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:30.200 you're constantly like an energizer bunny, like you go go, go, go, go, 1:05:30.200 --> 1:05:32.560 complete the next task, check the check that box, check 1:05:32.600 --> 1:05:35.920 that box. Reflection doesn't feel like one of those things 1:05:35.920 --> 1:05:39.080 that gives you a sense of like you know that 1:05:39.160 --> 1:05:42.640 you were actually productive. And so I think that's why 1:05:42.640 --> 1:05:45.160 it's you have to force yourself to be in spaces 1:05:45.200 --> 1:05:48.080 and experiences like that to make room for reflection, because 1:05:48.120 --> 1:05:50.200 I feel like that's so important, especially when you have 1:05:50.240 --> 1:05:52.640 a business, because you're just holding the weeds, doing the 1:05:52.680 --> 1:05:55.560 go to go every day. And yeah, I think that's 1:05:55.680 --> 1:05:56.440 that sounds amazing. 1:05:57.720 --> 1:05:59.120 Yeah, it's like you just don't make time for this, 1:05:59.320 --> 1:06:01.000 and it was and you have the pressure of being 1:06:01.000 --> 1:06:02.280 around other people, so you got to do it. If 1:06:02.280 --> 1:06:03.520 I was doing this by myself, I probably want to 1:06:03.520 --> 1:06:05.520 stop fifteen times and gone and done something else, picked 1:06:05.600 --> 1:06:07.560 up my phone. But you're like you're in an environment 1:06:07.560 --> 1:06:09.840 where everyone's doing it, We're all focused, we all want 1:06:09.840 --> 1:06:11.520 to hit the same endpoint when we're done with this. 1:06:11.920 --> 1:06:14.360 And uh, yeah, I feel very fortunate to you know, 1:06:14.520 --> 1:06:17.200 may friends with someone who would do this and facilitate 1:06:17.200 --> 1:06:19.360 this and help us all kind of kind of figure 1:06:19.360 --> 1:06:20.880 it out, you know at the you know, in your 1:06:20.920 --> 1:06:23.480 thirties man, basically forty like me. You know, when you 1:06:23.480 --> 1:06:25.360 get to this point in life, you know, sometimes you 1:06:26.600 --> 1:06:29.000 need to it's good to reflect. You don't have to 1:06:29.000 --> 1:06:30.120 be doing the same thing forever. 1:06:30.280 --> 1:06:35.840 Forty this week, Oh, who does my husband happy birthday? 1:06:35.840 --> 1:06:38.720 Happy birthday, younger, mm hmm. 1:06:38.640 --> 1:06:41.560 Yeah, sure about for about five. 1:06:41.360 --> 1:06:42.440 Minutes days younger. 1:06:43.560 --> 1:06:45.640 Yeah, Chris, I feel like the one thing that you 1:06:45.680 --> 1:06:47.560 said that really stuck with me about how cool that 1:06:47.600 --> 1:06:50.320 experiences is that you can do it for anything. It's 1:06:50.360 --> 1:06:52.240 not just like a work thing. It's like if you 1:06:52.280 --> 1:06:55.440 have a personal issue that you're dealing with, a work issue, 1:06:55.440 --> 1:06:58.640 a relationship issue, like if any aspect of your life 1:06:58.840 --> 1:07:01.680 you can kind of workshop through in this way. And 1:07:01.760 --> 1:07:03.720 maybe this person over here is working on their business, 1:07:04.080 --> 1:07:06.080 you're working on something personal. Somebody over there is working 1:07:06.080 --> 1:07:08.200 to a relationship issue. And it's so cool that that 1:07:08.280 --> 1:07:10.600 framework allows you to work through pretty much anything that 1:07:10.640 --> 1:07:12.720 you want to reflect on. So I like that a lot. 1:07:12.760 --> 1:07:14.320 I feel like that's really smart for her in terms 1:07:14.320 --> 1:07:16.560 of versatility for her business, for the model that she 1:07:16.600 --> 1:07:18.560 can offer it in a lot of different settings. 1:07:19.240 --> 1:07:20.720 Yeah, and that's exactly what it was like. 1:07:22.480 --> 1:07:24.200 You could give her. I was going to say, did 1:07:24.240 --> 1:07:26.000 she teach it online? Does she like do tips on 1:07:26.120 --> 1:07:28.800 ig or something? Does she have a social media handle 1:07:28.880 --> 1:07:30.040 you can shout out? 1:07:30.360 --> 1:07:31.640 Oh, I think I can. Let me look it up, 1:07:31.720 --> 1:07:33.520 so I know she does this for a lot of 1:07:33.640 --> 1:07:35.840 companies out here in the Bay Area. Her name is 1:07:35.920 --> 1:07:38.360 Kristen shout out to her and her husband run a 1:07:38.400 --> 1:07:41.480 restaurant called Swopshop. It's a Filipino restaurant out. 1:07:41.320 --> 1:07:42.640 Here, and she's got a restaurant. 1:07:42.720 --> 1:07:45.840 Okay, and they got a restaurant. But I'll find I'll 1:07:45.840 --> 1:07:47.480 find her handle it out, I'll share the people that 1:07:47.560 --> 1:07:49.560 connect with her. But we were telling her like, yeah, 1:07:49.560 --> 1:07:51.600 this is a great idea. You definitely should be doing 1:07:51.600 --> 1:07:53.120 this more because she's also this is her way of 1:07:53.200 --> 1:07:56.439 like molding it for individuals instead of companies to see 1:07:56.480 --> 1:07:58.400 if there's like a way to do it that makes 1:07:58.400 --> 1:07:59.560 sense and kind of works. Well. 1:08:00.120 --> 1:08:02.200 I would love to talk to her, Yeah, because I'm 1:08:02.200 --> 1:08:04.919 doing this VIP coaching one on one now and I'm 1:08:04.960 --> 1:08:07.200 so happy that I started doing it. It's just one 1:08:07.280 --> 1:08:12.560 person for twelve weeks, well twelve sessions, and I don't 1:08:12.600 --> 1:08:14.840 have And they've been asking like, is there a framework? 1:08:14.920 --> 1:08:17.639 Is there such and such? But I mean, I create 1:08:17.680 --> 1:08:21.240 it on the go for each person. But there's so 1:08:21.360 --> 1:08:26.080 much introspection like baked in side by side thought work 1:08:26.200 --> 1:08:31.040 where it's just like asking, leading questions and thought exercises 1:08:31.120 --> 1:08:36.240 that that I don't have a particular framework. I just 1:08:36.280 --> 1:08:39.360 know that it's very helpful. But it's cool that she's 1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:41.000 come up with one, So I want to I want 1:08:41.000 --> 1:08:41.519 to learn more. 1:08:42.560 --> 1:08:45.200 Oh yeah, I'll get all there for information together and 1:08:45.320 --> 1:08:46.439 I'll send it over to you. 1:08:46.520 --> 1:08:49.280 Now do we agree, ba fam that we got more 1:08:49.400 --> 1:08:54.880 value out of that boost then the sole the only boost. 1:08:54.960 --> 1:08:57.720 I mean, we love, we love a new black king 1:08:57.800 --> 1:09:00.120 being born into the world, but didn't. 1:09:00.160 --> 1:09:04.400 Mm hmmmm, you know, go and spin to keep spinning it. 1:09:04.840 --> 1:09:09.200 We learned a lot. Also, congratulations to your brother and sister. 1:09:09.240 --> 1:09:14.479 And yeah, I want another baby. It's really sick. It's sickening, 1:09:14.840 --> 1:09:16.760 yan Ellie. I want you to go last because I 1:09:16.800 --> 1:09:17.960 know yours is going to be happy. 1:09:18.640 --> 1:09:21.160 Yeah, and I'm going to do a break, all right, 1:09:21.240 --> 1:09:21.720 go for it. 1:09:22.080 --> 1:09:23.640 I'm going to do a break, Like I said, I 1:09:23.680 --> 1:09:25.840 was in Atlanta recently and one of the stories that 1:09:25.920 --> 1:09:28.040 I haven't really talked about, but it's been in the news, 1:09:28.120 --> 1:09:34.680 especially because she's from Atlanta, is Adrianna Smith, which fam 1:09:34.760 --> 1:09:38.120 If you've heard this name, maybe it sounds familiar to you. 1:09:38.640 --> 1:09:40.519 This has been an ongoing story in the news for 1:09:40.680 --> 1:09:45.280 months because this poor woman who's in her thirties was 1:09:45.280 --> 1:09:48.320 declared brain dead. And a lot of people start the 1:09:48.320 --> 1:09:51.759 story by talking about the fact that she which is true. 1:09:51.880 --> 1:09:57.040 She has been declared brain dead but kept on kept 1:09:57.080 --> 1:10:03.360 on life support because the reproductive laws were over or 1:10:03.400 --> 1:10:07.240 if Rover Wade was overturned, and in Georgia, almost immediately 1:10:08.120 --> 1:10:13.240 it triggered a new piece of legislation that reduced the 1:10:13.280 --> 1:10:16.360 window for abortion to like six weeks. And I believe 1:10:16.400 --> 1:10:19.519 she was nine weeks pregnant when she became brain dead. 1:10:20.680 --> 1:10:24.120 But I was reading and what happened last week is 1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:29.240 that the baby was delivered, and the baby was delivered prematurely. 1:10:29.760 --> 1:10:32.519 It was like one point something pounds. We don't know 1:10:32.560 --> 1:10:34.840 if he's going to survive. They gave him a name 1:10:34.880 --> 1:10:39.240 of Chance, And there's so much wrong with that story 1:10:40.439 --> 1:10:44.000 in so many ways, And I just as a mother 1:10:46.160 --> 1:10:51.680 there's it's it's heartbreaking that she wasn't able to, you know, 1:10:51.800 --> 1:10:55.000 fulfill that part of her life. She already had a 1:10:55.040 --> 1:10:57.960 son as well, it's heartbreaking that he's left without a mom. 1:10:58.360 --> 1:11:01.799 But the part of her story that really was getting 1:11:01.800 --> 1:11:03.559 to me as I read more about her was that 1:11:04.840 --> 1:11:09.320 what actually caused her to become brain dead declared brain dead, 1:11:09.520 --> 1:11:12.640 is that she went to the hospital with severe headaches 1:11:13.439 --> 1:11:17.759 and they pretty much brushed it off. Now, if you've 1:11:17.840 --> 1:11:20.280 been pregnant and you've gone to the hospital as a 1:11:20.280 --> 1:11:24.519 pregnant person, and there's actually jokes about this, like in 1:11:24.640 --> 1:11:27.920 pop culture, in like on medical TV shows that I've seen, 1:11:27.960 --> 1:11:32.360 where it's like, okay, incoming patient to the er, they're pregnant, 1:11:32.439 --> 1:11:35.920 kick them up to labor and delivery. I myself had 1:11:36.000 --> 1:11:38.519 cracked a rib from being really sick. I cracked a 1:11:38.600 --> 1:11:41.599 rib from coughing when I was pregnant with my second baby. 1:11:41.760 --> 1:11:44.240 And there's nothing you can do for a pregnant lady 1:11:44.240 --> 1:11:45.800 with a cracked rib. I can't get an X ray, 1:11:45.800 --> 1:11:48.360 there's no painkillers I can take. It's like, but they'll 1:11:48.400 --> 1:11:50.559 like immediately kick you up to LL and D before 1:11:50.600 --> 1:11:53.600 really looking at you. And I don't even think in 1:11:53.640 --> 1:11:55.400 this case she was actually kicked to L and D. 1:11:55.600 --> 1:11:59.920 She was just given really nothing. They were like, you're fine, 1:12:00.280 --> 1:12:02.599 go home, take some til and all. Well, it turns 1:12:02.600 --> 1:12:07.160 out she had several brain clots, blood clots in her brain, 1:12:07.720 --> 1:12:10.240 and so she suffered a stroke and her poor husband 1:12:10.320 --> 1:12:13.920 woke up to her in the throes of you know, 1:12:13.960 --> 1:12:18.599 having one of these blood clots that ruptured, and that's 1:12:18.640 --> 1:12:21.799 how she ended up on life support in the first place. 1:12:22.000 --> 1:12:26.599 And we talk a lot about we talk a lot 1:12:26.640 --> 1:12:30.479 about reproductive rights and how women of color are going 1:12:30.520 --> 1:12:33.479 to become or largely will become the victims of the 1:12:33.560 --> 1:12:38.120 lack of reproductive health care access in the weight in 1:12:38.160 --> 1:12:41.280 the wake of Robi Wade being overturned. But I also 1:12:41.320 --> 1:12:45.639 just think it underlines just in general, in healthcare, women 1:12:46.000 --> 1:12:50.400 and women of color especially are not always taken seriously 1:12:50.640 --> 1:12:55.080 and are you know, and that we are required. It 1:12:55.160 --> 1:12:58.320 requires so much of us to like advocate and push 1:12:58.560 --> 1:13:00.840 for the care that we deserve. And sometimes you're just 1:13:00.920 --> 1:13:03.680 tired of fighting and sometimes you don't want to have 1:13:03.720 --> 1:13:05.680 to do that for yourself. And it's not fair and 1:13:05.720 --> 1:13:09.439 it's not right, but it's just so heartbreaking that she 1:13:10.080 --> 1:13:12.400 tried to do the right thing and advocate for herself, 1:13:12.840 --> 1:13:15.439 and it wasn't enough, and she was still sent home, 1:13:16.080 --> 1:13:18.960 and then her body was used as if it were 1:13:19.439 --> 1:13:23.720 a machine, as if it was you know, as if 1:13:23.720 --> 1:13:28.000 she was less than human, just because some old white 1:13:28.080 --> 1:13:31.280 dudes decided for her, decided. 1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:33.840 For her, not her husband, not her mother, not her son, 1:13:33.880 --> 1:13:34.800 not her family, not. 1:13:34.800 --> 1:13:37.439 Her husband who already had to grieve his wife and 1:13:37.520 --> 1:13:40.519 his now son without his mother, but now has to 1:13:41.280 --> 1:13:45.040 worry for the life of his newborn son, who may 1:13:45.120 --> 1:13:48.320 or may not make it because he was kept alive 1:13:48.360 --> 1:13:52.920 in a woman's body who was dead, effectively dead. So 1:13:53.000 --> 1:13:55.880 my heart just goes out to Adriana Smith and her family. 1:13:56.000 --> 1:13:59.360 I also want to someone had asked me to, you know, 1:13:59.400 --> 1:14:03.120 what happened into the medical bills? Who pays who pays 1:14:03.120 --> 1:14:06.360 the medical bills for keeping this woman alive for months 1:14:07.120 --> 1:14:11.000 and months and now her newborn? And I don't know. 1:14:12.000 --> 1:14:14.640 I don't know what the answer to that is. But 1:14:15.880 --> 1:14:19.479 if it's not the State of Georgia, or I don't know, 1:14:19.640 --> 1:14:23.240 I don't know, if it's not her family's insurance, even 1:14:23.240 --> 1:14:25.800 insurance has its limits, you know, So if they have 1:14:25.840 --> 1:14:27.840 a gofund me or they have any other way you 1:14:27.840 --> 1:14:30.160 can support the family. I'll post that in the show notes. 1:14:30.160 --> 1:14:34.879 We'll look it up. But I just wanted to. Yeah, 1:14:35.000 --> 1:14:37.439 I hope. I just hope she's resting in peace now. 1:14:37.479 --> 1:14:39.439 I hope that she gets to go in peace. 1:14:40.160 --> 1:14:44.080 Fine, right, And I would definitely support that GoFundMe girl, 1:14:44.520 --> 1:14:47.519 I would. And if anybody listening, if you haven't heard 1:14:47.520 --> 1:14:51.200 the episode that Mandy did with doctor u J. Blackstock 1:14:51.280 --> 1:14:53.519 from the She's the author of the book called Legacy, 1:14:53.600 --> 1:14:57.320 which is about bias in healthcare, specifically against communities of 1:14:57.360 --> 1:15:02.080 color and more specifically black communities. That episode was so good, Mandy, 1:15:02.240 --> 1:15:04.479 like so good, and that book is so good. But 1:15:04.640 --> 1:15:08.440 I love that you had doctor ujay on because she's amazing. 1:15:09.000 --> 1:15:12.400 I recommend that for this specific topic. It was very powerful. 1:15:12.640 --> 1:15:17.360 Thank you. Yeah. So I'm just sending love to you, Adriana. 1:15:17.360 --> 1:15:19.800 I hope you're resting in peace, and to your family. 1:15:20.120 --> 1:15:22.320 I mean, I know that their trauma continues on, but 1:15:24.520 --> 1:15:28.160 you know that is the world we are in, right 1:15:28.280 --> 1:15:31.519 And as I start to cry, I will let you on, Ellie, 1:15:31.520 --> 1:15:34.920 Now bring us back up, bring us up, uplift us. 1:15:35.840 --> 1:15:40.360 I'll make a connection in terms of why this matters 1:15:40.439 --> 1:15:43.800 the most to me. Last year, in twenty twenty four, 1:15:44.280 --> 1:15:47.320 the state of California passed a law that required financial 1:15:47.360 --> 1:15:50.360 literacy to be taught as a semester, standalone, dedicated course 1:15:50.400 --> 1:15:52.559 for all high school students before they graduate. So it's 1:15:52.600 --> 1:15:55.439 a graduation requirement in the state of California. And I 1:15:55.600 --> 1:15:58.320 was over the moon because California is the state that 1:15:58.360 --> 1:16:01.320 has the largest population in the United States, so the 1:16:01.400 --> 1:16:06.800 largest state by population and the largest percentage of Latinos 1:16:06.800 --> 1:16:09.920 in the US that live in one particular state. Now 1:16:10.000 --> 1:16:14.320 the second largest state by population is Texas, which has 1:16:14.360 --> 1:16:18.240 the largest population of Black Americans, almost four million in 1:16:18.320 --> 1:16:21.519 one state, which is Texas, and so about fourteen percent 1:16:21.560 --> 1:16:23.599 of the population in the state of Texas is black. 1:16:23.960 --> 1:16:28.160 And now Texas on Saturday, June twenty first, officially got 1:16:28.160 --> 1:16:30.720 the law signed by the governor. So it is not 1:16:30.880 --> 1:16:33.679 just passed the legislature, not the Senators and representative passed 1:16:33.680 --> 1:16:35.800 the bill because that's what had happened before. But so 1:16:35.880 --> 1:16:38.320 many times the bill passes and it sits on the 1:16:38.360 --> 1:16:40.280 governor's desk for weeks and weeks and weeks it gets 1:16:40.280 --> 1:16:42.320 ignored or the governor would pick it up and like 1:16:42.479 --> 1:16:44.800 veto it if they don't like it. But in this case, 1:16:45.080 --> 1:16:49.240 it was passed and signed into law on Saturday, June 1:16:49.240 --> 1:16:52.040 twenty first, which means it is officially now a requirement 1:16:52.080 --> 1:16:56.440 for high school graduation. It goes into effect officially on 1:16:56.560 --> 1:16:58.679 in the fall of twenty twenty six, So this school 1:16:58.720 --> 1:17:00.720 year twenty twenty five to twenty two twenty six, the 1:17:00.720 --> 1:17:03.639 teachers are going to take this year to train, to plan, 1:17:04.000 --> 1:17:05.960 the school districts are going to start making decisions about 1:17:05.960 --> 1:17:07.519 what curriculum they're going to use, how they're going to 1:17:07.520 --> 1:17:09.880 rearrange the master schedule to make sure every student takes 1:17:09.880 --> 1:17:12.320 the class. And then starting in the twenty twenty six 1:17:12.360 --> 1:17:15.240 twenty twenty seven school year, every single text in high 1:17:15.240 --> 1:17:17.880 school kid that's in a public high school is guaranteed 1:17:17.880 --> 1:17:20.879 access to an eighteen week long course dedicated to personal 1:17:21.240 --> 1:17:24.320 financial literacy, all the things that we all wish we 1:17:24.360 --> 1:17:27.519 had learned when we was in high school. So it 1:17:27.560 --> 1:17:30.760 was a huge win. I mean, just based on the stats, 1:17:31.000 --> 1:17:34.080 there's like we were at sixty five percent of students 1:17:34.120 --> 1:17:36.439 in the US guaranteed access with the twenty eight states 1:17:36.439 --> 1:17:39.240 that were already that had already passed this law, and 1:17:39.320 --> 1:17:43.280 with Texas, it's now seventy five percent of students in 1:17:43.320 --> 1:17:44.840 the US have guaranteed access. 1:17:44.920 --> 1:17:46.639 And this is the legislation that y'all wrote. 1:17:46.640 --> 1:17:51.479 Then, basically, this is the legislation that we drafts. Start 1:17:51.640 --> 1:17:56.320 push incredible and shout out to testified. There's videos on 1:17:56.360 --> 1:17:58.880 my instagrament testifying, but the shoutout for shore goes to 1:17:58.960 --> 1:18:03.719 Representative Lindagar's and Representative Ken King, who are the two 1:18:03.920 --> 1:18:08.360 House the House representative. So Linda Garcia is a Democrat 1:18:08.439 --> 1:18:10.160 and Ken King is a Republican, and so it was 1:18:10.200 --> 1:18:12.599 a bipartisan effort, which means it doesn't matter if you're 1:18:12.600 --> 1:18:15.120 a Republican or Democrat. Everyone agreed on both sides that 1:18:15.200 --> 1:18:17.479 this was so important and that's why it was so 1:18:17.520 --> 1:18:20.160 successful with so many, so many votes in support of it. 1:18:20.240 --> 1:18:22.680 So it's official. If you live in Texas, spread the 1:18:22.680 --> 1:18:25.160 word and if you see the news, share it far 1:18:25.160 --> 1:18:27.439 and wide, because we need everybody to know that this 1:18:27.520 --> 1:18:29.559 is an official change that happened, that it was signed 1:18:29.600 --> 1:18:31.800 by the governor, and this is real, and no more 1:18:31.840 --> 1:18:34.400 denying or making it an elective. It has to be 1:18:34.439 --> 1:18:38.120 required in every single high school amazing. 1:18:38.160 --> 1:18:39.720 So you're doing a little victory lap when you go 1:18:39.760 --> 1:18:40.360 see Beyonce. 1:18:41.040 --> 1:18:43.840 Girl, it's a two for it. I'm going to see Beyonce. 1:18:43.920 --> 1:18:49.960 But I'm also like, this is Texas. We won, Yes, 1:18:50.160 --> 1:18:52.400 we did it. It was a long fight, and there 1:18:52.400 --> 1:18:54.240 were so many things along the way that made me 1:18:54.240 --> 1:18:56.320 think we were not going to win, that it wasn't 1:18:56.360 --> 1:18:59.400 going to happen. There were so many hot political issues 1:18:59.520 --> 1:19:02.960 like anding THHC product sales in the state of Texas 1:19:03.000 --> 1:19:07.040 and a school funding bill getting the Ten Commandments posted 1:19:07.040 --> 1:19:09.479 in public school. There was so much. There was so 1:19:09.560 --> 1:19:12.240 much going on in Texas that was like distract It 1:19:12.280 --> 1:19:16.280 was distracting people, I think from this bill that actually 1:19:16.400 --> 1:19:18.559 is such a good thing. And we're over here fighting 1:19:18.560 --> 1:19:20.240 about whether the Ten Commandment should be posted up in 1:19:20.240 --> 1:19:22.559 the school. Students might not even say that, let's focus, 1:19:22.680 --> 1:19:26.160 let's focus on what they're you know. So I'm so 1:19:26.240 --> 1:19:28.320 glad it wasn't so much distraction to the point where 1:19:28.640 --> 1:19:30.519 it kind of washed this bill off to the side. 1:19:30.600 --> 1:19:32.800 This one really did make it to the end, which 1:19:32.800 --> 1:19:34.880 it's very very hard to get a bill signed into law. 1:19:35.000 --> 1:19:37.439 So I'm really really proud of Texas and I'm so 1:19:37.680 --> 1:19:39.639 honored to have gotten to be a part of that 1:19:39.680 --> 1:19:41.720 fight and to be able to tell the story. And 1:19:41.800 --> 1:19:44.640 now now I'm like, Okay, which state is going to 1:19:44.640 --> 1:19:48.120 be number thirty, number twenty nine? Yes, we got a 1:19:48.120 --> 1:19:49.800 couple more twenty one more states to go. Who's going 1:19:49.840 --> 1:19:50.559 to be number thirty? 1:19:50.560 --> 1:19:53.840 I'm cross? Is everything right? So now that Texas is 1:19:53.840 --> 1:19:56.599 like the biggest one, it's like it doesn't become easier 1:19:56.640 --> 1:19:58.200 to then convince more states. 1:19:58.800 --> 1:20:01.360 Absolutely, because you have really big states like New York 1:20:01.360 --> 1:20:03.280 who haven't who has not done it yet, Illinois, who 1:20:03.280 --> 1:20:05.080 has not done it yet. And when they see big 1:20:05.120 --> 1:20:09.280 states like California, Texas, Florida have already done it, they see, 1:20:09.320 --> 1:20:11.479 oh there's no excuse, Oh we're too big to do that, No, 1:20:11.760 --> 1:20:14.880 because there's precedent, like you said, So hopefully this definitely 1:20:14.920 --> 1:20:16.719 makes the fight a little easier as we move forward. 1:20:17.120 --> 1:20:21.240 I'm so glad you went last. Congratulations, Thank you, and 1:20:20.560 --> 1:20:23.240 as you and the work you're doing is so impactful. 1:20:23.280 --> 1:20:25.720 It already was, but it's just a lot of times 1:20:25.760 --> 1:20:28.439 you don't get a chance to like see the impact. 1:20:28.520 --> 1:20:33.360 But your work is, yeah, I mean it really, it 1:20:33.479 --> 1:20:35.760 actually happens, and there's a lot of people working to 1:20:35.840 --> 1:20:39.320 pass legislation that's so needed that don't get to celebrate that, 1:20:39.520 --> 1:20:41.800 so and don't it doesn't get past, you know, the 1:20:41.800 --> 1:20:45.400 filibusters and the bullshit.
