1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Hi, Um, I don't really know what to say. My

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: name is Wheezy. I host Horrible Decisions with my co

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: host Mandy, and all I know is that I have

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: a large platform and I'm just going to talk and

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: share and tell you that I love you. I honestly,

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what to do because I felt like, Okay,

7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: it's a show about sex. Nobody gives a fuck about

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: me talking about anything that's going on in the world.

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: But it's irresponsible of me to not say anything on

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: this audio feed just because we talk about sex. Horrible

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: Decisions was a show that when I came to Mandy,

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: although it started on the principle of two corporate women

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: talking about sex, I was like, we're gonna we gotta

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: do everybody. We gotta take those white dollars too. I

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: want to not say nigas so much so we don't

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: put ourselves in a box. But like three episodes in,

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: it was clear that this show was made by black

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: girls for black people. And I say people of color

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: because I've seen that it's really broadened and affected a

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: lot of brown people. Latina's whoever, right, But today what's

21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: on my mind is not necessarily it's the it's the

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: white listener who I really love because this show is black, Slee,

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: and I love y'all because I know that there are

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: other podcasts that are probably more relatable to you. Um,

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean ship. I have a girl who tweeted me

26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 1: the other day and said that her coworkers just couldn't

27
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: get into it because it feels black. That's how Black

28
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: Horrible Decisions is. So to the white people that listen

29
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: to this show, I'm sure you consider yourself woken up, right,

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: And I thank y'all and I funk with you all

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: for being a part of this or have. But it's

32
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: now time to use that white ass privilege today to

33
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: have an uncomfortable conversation. Just do it, because we need

34
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: you now more than ever. We click on the TV

35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: and they want to make black people look like animals. Bro,

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: every black person in their eyes has the same agenda

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: and they've already heard it. And so now we need

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: that other person to speak up that is sitting in

39
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: that room, speak up for us, because we are clearly unheard.

40
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: Like they know killing is bad, but let's start like

41
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: let's retweet it, but like, oh yeah, he died, but

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: come on, you guys, stop it now, it's getting too violent.

43
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: Spark a conversation so uncomfortable today that we would be

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: proud of you. If you're scared to talk because you

45
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: think someone will throw in the looting or the violence

46
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: of the arson in your face, you need to remind

47
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: them that this country started on looting, and that black

48
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: people are not fucking up their community by destroying a

49
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: target a massive corporation that already is displacing mom and

50
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: pop shops, which Republicans should love hearing about because they

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: are the face of entrepreneurship and keeping all of your

52
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: tax money. Right. All I'm saying is I'm not choosing aside.

53
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm just saying remind them that this is bigger than

54
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: broken glass. If George Floyd didn't die in front of

55
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: our face with a knee on his neck for seven minutes,

56
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have broken glass in the streets. We are

57
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: almost programmed to demonize loud black people, angry black people.

58
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: But just do your due diligence in teaching someone to

59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: know and understand why have empathy for a situation that

60
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: you will never have. Educate yourself on people that we celebrate. Right,

61
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: You see people talk about Malcolm X all the time.

62
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: Why educate yourself on those things? And I also am

63
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: confused myself on what to do, like I don't know

64
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do or how do I help? Right? Like?

65
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: How much? What? What do I donate? Is that? Did

66
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: I do my job by donating? Is that what I did?

67
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: I do enough? And so I guess, Like I said before,

68
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the show is by black girls for black people and

69
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: has obviously become brought into bigger things. But I'm going

70
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: to donate if we even have that this week. If

71
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: we don't, it will be next week or whatever. But

72
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to donate my portion of the show's add

73
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: dollars to UH the Minnesota Freedom Fund. And I just

74
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: wanted to share where I've been figuring out how to

75
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: donate my money. UM, I follow Grassroots Law. I'm gonna

76
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: spell it for you on Instagram. They've really been helpful

77
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: grass r o o T s Law UM organization's pro

78
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: black and they post some credible links on who to

79
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: donate from four excuse me UM and how to help. Also,

80
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: like if you are confused on how to help and

81
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to spend money or not that you

82
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: don't can't afford or whatever. Um m hmm. Black Lives Matter.

83
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: You can get involved with the local chapter there on

84
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: their website. They have a full list. UM, you can volunteer,

85
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: You could be loud. Being loud is great and it's

86
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: what we need. I think the great thing that we

87
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: can try to pull from this is there's a possibility

88
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: for to feel loved and to show love and remind

89
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: people that you love them. Telling black men and theman

90
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: that you love them, UM, telling them you're here for them.

91
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and this is, you know, something we should

92
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: already be doing. But I also want to talk to

93
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: the people that are protesting and that are angry. And

94
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: you can like this or not. UM, I know some

95
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: of you really don't agree with writing, and it's fine,

96
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna not try to at least have

97
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: my people do it appropriately. So I just pulled some

98
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: tips from friends on the best advice. Making sure that

99
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: you do leave bodega's and mom and pop shops alone,

100
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: and wearing a mask and gloves at all times. UM,

101
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: having a fallback location to meet up with people if

102
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: the right gets broken up. UM. Just making sure you're

103
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: you're safe. We need you alive. Yo, I'm scared. I don't,

104
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I will tell you guys this, I don't.

105
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't tell you this to make you sad. Um,

106
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, I I know the show is fun and

107
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: my role in the show is to be funny. And

108
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: if you don't laugh, I'm sorry. I guess you're not

109
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: laughing now either, But I want it also reminds you

110
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: that logging off is the form of self care and

111
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: it's okay. I've been feeling guilty actually about like logging off,

112
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Um. If we need to feel better insecure,

113
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: comes on tonight. They're not paying me to say that.

114
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: It's just the only black cast thing I know that

115
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: we could do to support and not think and just

116
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: get our minds taken off of what's going on for

117
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: a second, because it's okay. UM trying the calm app.

118
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: I think that ship is fifteen dollars, but I'm sure

119
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: there's free guided meditation, and if you've never meditated before,

120
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you that we're going to really meditate

121
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: you right now. But I think we should just have

122
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: thirty seconds of silence for peace, for ourselves and for

123
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: our brothers and sisters that we lost. I think we

124
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: should just sit in peace for a second altogether. There.

125
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: If you're driving, don't close your eyes, but if you can,

126
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: just close your eyes really quick, really quick with me,

127
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: let's just be still cool. I love you very much

128
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: and I'm really glad that we have each other. I'm

129
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: glad that I even have a large enough platform to

130
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: post this and it matters in some way. Um, and

131
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: I hope you do something today to make you feel happy.

132
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: I really do, whether that be protesting or looking at

133
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: dumbass memes on Twitter. I don't know, dude, I don't know,

134
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: but we've got to figure it out. Let's keep ourselves saying.

135
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: We've been in the house, locked up for way too

136
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: fucking long, some of us sexless, God forbid. We gotta

137
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: deal with this. Just laugh a little today, do it

138
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: for me because I don't really feel it at me

139
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: right now. But I love you and I am looking

140
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: forward to making you smile Tomorrow. We have an episode

141
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: with Poor Minds. They're really sweet girls are fun girls.

142
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: You will like this episode and many will be on it.

143
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: I just I'm alone and I'm outside and I was

144
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: thinking of you, you talking to you. I was thinking

145
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: of you and um yeah, Love and Light baby,
