Speaker 1: I just bugged Janice, and Janice now made it so
Speaker 1: that I'm I'm an enemy to my own communie. It's
Speaker 1: enemy of the state, but with like a slap like
Speaker 1: Chris Red what what what? Just a sillier version of honestly,
Speaker 1: a better version, let's disagree, a better version of If
Speaker 1: enemy of the state is just a silly my being,
Speaker 1: let let me out. I ain't do nothing. My crop
Speaker 1: chips in yours are racist money martial man interning stuff.
Speaker 1: Can't tell me yep, yup, yup, there it is there
Speaker 1: it is. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another phenomenal episode
Speaker 1: of My Mama Told Me, the podcast where we dive deep,
Speaker 1: deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories and we
Speaker 1: finally work to prove that Kanye is just wearing them
Speaker 1: rain boots everywhere because he is a recent inductee to
Speaker 1: the billionaire class and he's preparing for the impending apocalyptic
Speaker 1: flood which will doom us all that is. That's a fact.
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty solid fact. This nigga is
Speaker 1: rainboot Noah Ark prepared for what's coming our way. You
Speaker 1: know who else is prepared? You know who else I
Speaker 1: don't know that she wears rainboots everywhere she goes, but
Speaker 1: she is prepared for all that faces us. She she's
Speaker 1: she's my guest. Today's so funny, it's very talented. You
Speaker 1: know her from from her HBO special call I've you know,
Speaker 1: and you know her from her Patreon Smart funny and black,
Speaker 1: amazing comedian, amazing actress. Please give it up from my guest,
Speaker 1: miss a Man to see what a doubt you know.
Speaker 1: I just realized we didn't mention, like we even say
Speaker 1: why we know each other? Oh yeah, well how did we?
Speaker 1: We met? Years ago? In stand up? I met you,
Speaker 1: I believe, and correct me if you feel like this
Speaker 1: is not true. I met you, I think during the
Speaker 1: stand Up NBC competition the the I think, did you
Speaker 1: in New York? In New York we did the semi
Speaker 1: for Sam, Yes, the same year that Sam did it.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's that's when I first met you. Yes, really,
Speaker 1: that is the closest I have to a memory. And
Speaker 1: then I think the rest of it all kind of
Speaker 1: bleeds together. We're just doing comedy scene and then obviously
Speaker 1: insecure sort of like uh, you know, yeah, huh, You're
Speaker 1: staring up at the sky as if to say bullshit,
Speaker 1: I don't. It's not just that first of all, that
Speaker 1: seems like that was another existence, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: aside from the fact that we've been in a pandemic
Speaker 1: that literally feels like what was that my life? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta look at my journals. Yes, I mean for
Speaker 1: for the people that are unaware of what Stand Up
Speaker 1: NBC is, It was the diversity program that NBC was
Speaker 1: putting together to get like black voices and diverse voices
Speaker 1: added to the community. But then they made a bunch
Speaker 1: of niggas stand in line overnight so that they could
Speaker 1: then audition for a minute in front of mostly white people.
Speaker 1: So it was because then it got changed to diversity
Speaker 1: end inclusion. Yea. Then it was like, it's not enough
Speaker 1: for it to be black folks. You can be white
Speaker 1: and gay. That's fine, right, Oh, y'all can sit in
Speaker 1: a tent and uh wait to to try your best
Speaker 1: in front of these people who don't really watch stand yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And then you do a semifinal in front
Speaker 1: of a bunch more people don't really watch stand up.
Speaker 1: And I remember the person who like won the night
Speaker 1: per se was a sister, but all her jokes were
Speaker 1: like can you believe black people do this? And I
Speaker 1: remember being like, wow, I hate this a lot, doing
Speaker 1: like a generic African accent. She you know what if
Speaker 1: I recall she had made a joke that was like
Speaker 1: my dad is like mufassa or something like that, and
Speaker 1: I was like, do do that? Come on, now, that's
Speaker 1: not the African animals you canna anyway? So well, you know,
Speaker 1: and here we are, here we are, but you're here
Speaker 1: today and I couldn't be more excited because you came.
Speaker 1: I think with the conspiracy theory that's been sitting on
Speaker 1: our plate for a while, untouched, I think you are
Speaker 1: the first to want to take on such a haunting task,
Speaker 1: I guess. And you said, my mama told me all
Speaker 1: of your technology is watching you. You know. I dated
Speaker 1: somebody actually who was on Secure and he would not
Speaker 1: converse in the room where A t like he felt
Speaker 1: like the TV was always watching you. WHOA the TV?
Speaker 1: Anything with a screen, he felt like it was watching you.
Speaker 1: And the camera wasn't a factor here. It was the
Speaker 1: screen that was more essential. It started with the camera
Speaker 1: and I was like sure, right, and then it became
Speaker 1: the mic on the phone, right, So I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: and then it became the computer, and then it became
Speaker 1: the TV. And then I was like, are you paranoid schizophrenic?
Speaker 1: Because this is like real because I had I had
Speaker 1: dated recipes down, but like I had dated a brother
Speaker 1: in college who like he had started similar rhetoric and
Speaker 1: I told his dad and his dad was like, o't
Speaker 1: like the way that sounds. And it turned out that
Speaker 1: he ended up having a like catch a break and
Speaker 1: he was a parent of a schizophrenic. And it was
Speaker 1: it started with me saying to him, what up and
Speaker 1: he would he would respond chilling like the fens al right,
Speaker 1: well wait a minute, because that's just a good answer,
Speaker 1: you know. That's what I thought. That's what I thought,
Speaker 1: And then what do you want him? And I just
Speaker 1: thought it was like a quippy like maybe it was
Speaker 1: a rap lyric that I didn't know. And then we
Speaker 1: were like on the train one time, going like the
Speaker 1: first time we took the train to the city for
Speaker 1: like a date, because when we went to school at
Speaker 1: Suny Purchase and we took the train into the city
Speaker 1: and he was like, I started saying something and he
Speaker 1: was like, they're listening, but you know what. It really
Speaker 1: is a testament to black women because I was just like,
Speaker 1: all right, so he doesn't like talking on the train, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's now I understand. Now I know him a little better.
Speaker 1: He let me in. Yeah, I'm gonna support my my
Speaker 1: quiet trained king. You know what I mean. I'm a
Speaker 1: I'm a whole in down because because we ain't gonna
Speaker 1: do that on the train. So these things I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm not fully committed. Yeah, they were amount around
Speaker 1: me enough to where I just have a you know,
Speaker 1: there is a residual awareness of like is that you
Speaker 1: watching me? Yeah? So would you say then that that
Speaker 1: individual that you dated was the first person to at
Speaker 1: least introduce this concept to you or were you like
Speaker 1: already you know, pulse finger on the pulse before that
Speaker 1: he was the first to like have empirical evidence, you know,
Speaker 1: like he was like he was the first to show
Speaker 1: me like seeing look what just came up in mind? Boone?
Speaker 1: Why is it showing me that? Why is it showing
Speaker 1: me that? And I was like, oh my god, is
Speaker 1: it showing And you know, and then like um, people,
Speaker 1: I feel like this conversation happened somewhere else and someone
Speaker 1: had mentioned like, oh, well, if you do this, you know,
Speaker 1: turn off this thing and turn off your mic. Like
Speaker 1: you have to like put your settings a certain way
Speaker 1: so that the man, right, you know, don't send the
Speaker 1: pale horse to Yeah. Yeah, and hey that's how they
Speaker 1: get that's how they get you. I agree. You you
Speaker 1: do have to track your settings, be aware of of
Speaker 1: sort of what you're allowing into the space. And and
Speaker 1: maybe perhaps they won't be listening. But but two more
Speaker 1: to the point that these people who you who you
Speaker 1: were seeing at a time, we're saying, even with those
Speaker 1: setting choices, government still listening. But my thing was like,
Speaker 1: so what we're gonna do? You know, what's the what's
Speaker 1: the workaround? Like just honest when we're not on set,
Speaker 1: you know, like what yeah, that's always my concern is, like, hey, bro,
Speaker 1: not for nothing. We live in l a you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, this is not Montana. And if
Speaker 1: if you're saying let's move to Montana and build fires there,
Speaker 1: I can make a choice. But if you are saying
Speaker 1: we are going to continue to live this l a
Speaker 1: ass lifestyle and eat sweet green, well guess what I
Speaker 1: think my phone is just gonna have to hear everything
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, like I just got I just had
Speaker 1: to get. I mean I distinctly remember like us like
Speaker 1: we had eaten inedible and it turned up. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: paranoia turned up. And he was like, I was like
Speaker 1: holding my phone that are you according me? Are you
Speaker 1: according me? And I was like, no, I'm not recording you.
Speaker 1: I was, but I was like a fence. This is
Speaker 1: this he was saying something hilarious. I was recording it.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I'm not I'm not recording you.
Speaker 1: And he was like it doesn't matter anyway. There everything,
Speaker 1: They recording everything. Because that that's when I goes to
Speaker 1: another level, is when the person starts addressing Oh I
Speaker 1: know y'all see me. Yeah, I know y'all hear what
Speaker 1: the funk I'm saying, Oh okay, now I see where
Speaker 1: you're feeling. Like this takes the shift from just paranoid
Speaker 1: to a type of psychosis, is that this isn't just
Speaker 1: a person, because like I'll admit, there are plenty of
Speaker 1: times where I'm like, man, this camera still on. I
Speaker 1: know the green Lighting show on, but I think motherfucker's watching.
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't go what what do you
Speaker 1: work from me? You sick fox? Like I'm not addressing them.
Speaker 1: I go to bed. I'm like, hey, take a peek.
Speaker 1: Did you see something? Say something? You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, like I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: So I just saw that reporters at the Beijing Games
Speaker 1: are using burner phones because they don't want to somehow
Speaker 1: have an opportunity for China to put some type of
Speaker 1: tracking device or tracer or copier in their phone when
Speaker 1: they leave, So they're they're using burner phones that they
Speaker 1: can dispose of when they leave. And I'm just like,
Speaker 1: it's I didn't know China espionage was really on it
Speaker 1: like that, Like, but I just was like, wow, like
Speaker 1: that feels very extreme something. But somebody had to have
Speaker 1: made them feel like this is a matter of national security. Yeah,
Speaker 1: to your point, it does. It is concerning, right, if
Speaker 1: nothing else, when you're sitting and looking at a situation
Speaker 1: where like a government because obviously I think these journalists
Speaker 1: are functioning at least from some version of direction from
Speaker 1: the American government or whatever they're they're overseeing government is
Speaker 1: to use these burner phones, which means that y'all are
Speaker 1: playing weird government games that like, even if you're not
Speaker 1: doing it to us, you have the potential to do
Speaker 1: it to us, and you're not. You're not saying that,
Speaker 1: and that's fucked up because it's it's like when someone
Speaker 1: accuses you of some ship that you wouldn't do and
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, but you would do that, You would
Speaker 1: do that, that's why you accuse you would. So they
Speaker 1: like China do that, and it's like, how you know,
Speaker 1: y'all already try y'all try to Yeah, y'all doing it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: y'all do that to people. And uh, maybe it's not
Speaker 1: the mass public. If if we if we wanted to
Speaker 1: give the government any grace, you know how we love
Speaker 1: giving the government. You know why we do it to
Speaker 1: feel to ourselves feel better. That's why that Like I
Speaker 1: the other day said when Martin Luther King passed away,
Speaker 1: and I had to catch myself like right correction, when
Speaker 1: he was assassinated, he didn't go out of here without
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like this wasn't Yeah, there
Speaker 1: was no he didn't diet on the bed around surrounded
Speaker 1: by his loved ones like he should have. But I
Speaker 1: feel like that was like a Freudian government grace moment.
Speaker 1: And I think that that even if we were to
Speaker 1: give them some of that grace, it isn't Maybe you're
Speaker 1: not doing it to everybody, but you're doing it, and
Speaker 1: you have the potential to do it to more people.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes this paranoia so easily accessible. Well
Speaker 1: remember Wiki leaks, I mean that was the other thing, right,
Speaker 1: Like my mom, My mom was very big to wikilis
Speaker 1: um like a fan, just a fans, just very involved
Speaker 1: in the whole scenario of things. And you know Snowdon
Speaker 1: You know, Snowdon really letting them an it. He's really
Speaker 1: letting them have it. And I was just like, I
Speaker 1: feel like you think you're in on something that other
Speaker 1: people aren't in on. Like that's what always comedy about
Speaker 1: my mom in these situations, like you're getting the same
Speaker 1: information as everyone else. But she's like, so let me
Speaker 1: tell you what's happening. You don't have like you're reading it,
Speaker 1: but you're not reading it the way I'm reading it.
Speaker 1: So I'll explain it to you. Your dumb ass, I
Speaker 1: got you. I'm just like, you don't have like a
Speaker 1: higher security clearance than WikiLeaks. But that was the whole
Speaker 1: real thing that I think set a lot of people off,
Speaker 1: you know, the WikiLeaks of it all, because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, that's what it was. It was
Speaker 1: him realizing that the n s A was tapping people's
Speaker 1: phones and and you know at will right, like, not
Speaker 1: even for just any reason, but just because they had
Speaker 1: created the capability to do so, and they were just
Speaker 1: playing around. And in that case, just so that we're
Speaker 1: making it clear, the n s A was tapping preferred phones,
Speaker 1: they weren't tapping all phones. At least that's the argument
Speaker 1: that's being made, or at least Snowdon's argument, which is
Speaker 1: always the source of truth. Okay, So then the way
Speaker 1: I understood it was that what makes it a preferred phone,
Speaker 1: whatever they decide, is a reason for them to need
Speaker 1: to hear your ship, which is dangerous, right because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, their decision making is it's
Speaker 1: a person still making. If they don't like something I've said,
Speaker 1: or are uncomfortable with a choice I've made publicly, they
Speaker 1: can start to tap my phone under the guise of
Speaker 1: protecting American civilians, when in fact I might just be
Speaker 1: annoying to a lady in an office I'm just picturing
Speaker 1: that film like where someone gets arrested and like thrown
Speaker 1: in the back of a black van because they were
Speaker 1: thought to be dangerous. And they're just the office prick,
Speaker 1: but not even pricked the office twerk like they're just
Speaker 1: they just they just said the wrong words in order. Right,
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this before we go to break you.
Speaker 1: You said you are not all in on this conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1: You're not fully invested. Tell me help me get a
Speaker 1: where you are in it. It's not that I'm not
Speaker 1: fully invested. I think the better way to say is that,
Speaker 1: like I guess in my mind fully invested me as
Speaker 1: I'm also like using actions to combat it. Oh, you know,
Speaker 1: like and I'm just I I think I've just accepted it,
Speaker 1: right because I don't genuine they feel I can do
Speaker 1: anything like they have like these VPN things that you
Speaker 1: can put to like stop your IP address, but I
Speaker 1: and I had one like that that like advertised on
Speaker 1: my podcast Small Doses where you can listen to anywhere podocasted. Uh,
Speaker 1: we don't do no cross advertisements. No, no cut that
Speaker 1: Olivia cut it, cut it. No, it's fine, but well
Speaker 1: they like where they like advertise on my podcast while
Speaker 1: doses and I was like, Oh, I get to use
Speaker 1: this for a year for free. Great, But then when
Speaker 1: the subscription ran out, it was like, well that's the
Speaker 1: So that's the crazy thing. Even with like these VPNs
Speaker 1: and the other things that you can download to theoretically
Speaker 1: protect yourself from whatever's watching, is you still are paying
Speaker 1: a corporation to to access this service. And in theory,
Speaker 1: that corporation has other corporate friends that they want to
Speaker 1: to provide the information too. So it's like, is this
Speaker 1: protecting me or is that just a slight You know,
Speaker 1: when they give you those aluminum covers after you run
Speaker 1: a race. We're like, I don't think that's gonna keep
Speaker 1: me warm. The way y'all saying it is this this
Speaker 1: aeems like bullshit. But when we come back, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about how this also extends to like how
Speaker 1: Facebook was tracing us. Yes, I actually think that's a
Speaker 1: perfect throw for us to to walk out on because
Speaker 1: because as my listeners know, we come back with research,
Speaker 1: and I have a fair amount of research. I'd love
Speaker 1: to impact with you about Facebook and they're devious choices sucking.
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna take a break, We'll be back
Speaker 1: with more, am And this feels and more, my mama
Speaker 1: told me, and we all, yeah, we're back here with more.
Speaker 1: Amanda steels more. My mama told me. We're still talking
Speaker 1: about the possibility that your technology is watching your ass
Speaker 1: at all times, just listening, checking in on you. Why
Speaker 1: you're you're doing your nasty ship and you know the
Speaker 1: nasty ship that you do person listening at home, you
Speaker 1: know why you're yucky anyway, So tell me a little
Speaker 1: bit about what you know, Amanda, because we left off here,
Speaker 1: what you know about the Facebook intrusions. Let's say I
Speaker 1: can't remember the name of the doc, but I had
Speaker 1: seen this documentary on Netflix that just, I mean it
Speaker 1: threw me off for like a good two weeks because
Speaker 1: it really spoke about the specifically about how these internets
Speaker 1: were used to swathe elections, and it was this It
Speaker 1: was presented in such a what's the word I'm looking for,
Speaker 1: just there was no theory. It was what, yes, social dilemma, Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you, the social dilemma. And it was just very
Speaker 1: matter of fact. This wasn't theoretical, This wasn't like, you know,
Speaker 1: we we put things together and it seems like this
Speaker 1: is the case. It was like no, no, yeah, what happened.
Speaker 1: This is how it happened, and let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: And that is when I'm like, oh wow, okay, so
Speaker 1: so I don't so I like help this man get lefted.
Speaker 1: So the craziest thing with the social dilemma, to your point,
Speaker 1: is that it's it's sort of being presented by a
Speaker 1: bunch of people who built the algorithms and are like
Speaker 1: in charge of the way that they move and shake,
Speaker 1: and so it's not them going like, well we think
Speaker 1: this is a possibility, or like no, no, no no, I
Speaker 1: wrote the code so that this would happen. And I
Speaker 1: would never let my children around any of these sapps.
Speaker 1: It is dangerous ship and we feel real bad about it.
Speaker 1: That's why we're talking to you now, directors of said film.
Speaker 1: That right there, when the guy was like, I would
Speaker 1: never let my kids around this, this is I mean,
Speaker 1: we just saw some lady come out and then go
Speaker 1: real quiet about how it's proven that like Facebook and
Speaker 1: these apps are deleterious to our social structure, to the minds,
Speaker 1: to mental health, etcetera. And yet we it's an addiction
Speaker 1: and they play on that. I am absolutely addicted. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and and we're in a business now that's also
Speaker 1: made it a critical part for a lot of people
Speaker 1: to engage in if they want to be in certain spaces.
Speaker 1: So it's like, even if you aren't addicted, like you
Speaker 1: still have to somehow be a part of it. And
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just it's frustrating. Yeah, no, it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's a gross aim. We're all sort of trapped
Speaker 1: in of being both like we need the thing. I
Speaker 1: need the thing to some extent for people to know
Speaker 1: I exist out in the world as an entertainer. That's
Speaker 1: that is my livelihood to some extent. But then on
Speaker 1: top of that, I feel yucky every time I have
Speaker 1: to access one of these apps and and beg for
Speaker 1: attention in these spaces, and even scarier, the attention I'm
Speaker 1: getting or giving might be something I didn't even intend.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's the story of my life. I got
Speaker 1: in trouble the other day of some ship I didn't
Speaker 1: even say. I was just there. God said ship, And
Speaker 1: they're like a mad steel was present when this thing
Speaker 1: said this ship. And I'm like, God did it? But
Speaker 1: was you having fun? Because that's how you get in trouble.
Speaker 1: I was putting on lipstick, I was literally putting out
Speaker 1: lives and I was just talking away and I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, best of intentions, best of attentions, and
Speaker 1: people are like a seal disgust saying and I'm like,
Speaker 1: if I don't say nothing, how is it discussing? Damn?
Speaker 1: But I think there's really like I mean, so I
Speaker 1: started Patreon because I was trying to find I started Patreon.
Speaker 1: We started a newsletter because I was trying to like
Speaker 1: find ways to extend off of the Instagram of it
Speaker 1: all because I was getting shadow Band. I'm still getting
Speaker 1: shadow band, Like they really just in there. So after
Speaker 1: Facebook and Instagram got addressed by I guess Congress about
Speaker 1: their role in stealing people's information and you know, and
Speaker 1: really pushing the trump of it all, they now became
Speaker 1: like hyper vigilant about I feel like se questions about
Speaker 1: like sequestering anything that can influence the direction that folks thinking.
Speaker 1: So you're a thought leader, and you like, have I
Speaker 1: want to talk about this? I wanna, I wanna, I
Speaker 1: want to get what's what's it called? I want to
Speaker 1: talk talk Okay, let me let me keep you up
Speaker 1: you're ready, You're I'm you know, when you have a
Speaker 1: platform that has a bunch of people on it, you're
Speaker 1: going to of course have people that become thought leaders,
Speaker 1: people that are going to take the truth and you know,
Speaker 1: articulated to the masses through their own opinions. And by
Speaker 1: nature of that, there's gonna be people who start listening.
Speaker 1: That's just the way it happens, you know, with Jesus
Speaker 1: and my Mother, It's gonna happen on the app. And
Speaker 1: the frustrating part though, is that these algorithms can't tell
Speaker 1: the difference between who's telling the truth and who is
Speaker 1: just telling ship. And so what it does is it
Speaker 1: silence is the folks whose voices actually have to be heard.
Speaker 1: And it's so incredibly frustrating because even when you get
Speaker 1: the actual human beings and these apps, they're so committed
Speaker 1: to the algorithm of it all that they don't even
Speaker 1: have the ability to discern like, oh, this is the truth,
Speaker 1: this isn't. And that's how you have apps that are
Speaker 1: letting people say all niggas must die. They're not shutting
Speaker 1: that down. But when someone says, like, hey, maybe you
Speaker 1: all should get vaccinated, they're like, wrong, information, and it's like,
Speaker 1: how do you create something that's supposed to be for
Speaker 1: social growth but you're shutting down any level of elevation.
Speaker 1: M M yeah, it's it's to that point, and I
Speaker 1: think it's an important one for us to address. Even
Speaker 1: with the influencing the the elections, right, it truly wasn't
Speaker 1: this like crazy infiltration that we sort of built it
Speaker 1: up to be. It was just motherfucker's writing some wild
Speaker 1: ship and then people amplifying the wild ship. So it
Speaker 1: wasn't we were susceptible. It's not like they brainwashed us.
Speaker 1: They just showed us wild ship and we were like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to that wild ship. And so in
Speaker 1: that way, the way that their course correcting is by
Speaker 1: calling everything wild ship and some of it's not wild
Speaker 1: And maybe y'all just need to have more of an
Speaker 1: analytical I I guess in determining like is this honest
Speaker 1: or is this just somebody talking crazy for the sake
Speaker 1: of changing the way that our our government works. So,
Speaker 1: like I use the vaccine example because someone saying, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe you should get vaccinated is to me very benign.
Speaker 1: They're not saying like you need to get vaccinated they're
Speaker 1: not saying you're killing everybody. They're making a suggestion based
Speaker 1: on their opinion. Sure, you should be able to do
Speaker 1: that on your page without them being like, no one
Speaker 1: gets to see your page now. Yeah. But and this
Speaker 1: is this will be a good segue into a lot
Speaker 1: of what I sort of found in the research, is
Speaker 1: that it seems to be born out of corporate interest,
Speaker 1: right that like at the end of the day, when
Speaker 1: there was a point in this pandemic, for example, where
Speaker 1: you said you should get vaccinated, and we all went, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's right. Yeah, And then at some point there
Speaker 1: was a shift where we some people were like, no,
Speaker 1: shut the funk up. And then there was an additional shoot.
Speaker 1: And that's the additional shift where it was like your brainwashed,
Speaker 1: and we all were debating whether or not vaccinations were effective,
Speaker 1: whether or not they made a difference in the way
Speaker 1: that we survived this thing. And and to some extent,
Speaker 1: they are more complicated than they were originally presented, but
Speaker 1: they're not nearly as dangerous as a bunch of people
Speaker 1: want us to believe. But because those people still pay
Speaker 1: for these these lights to stay on, they're going to
Speaker 1: entertain both sides of the argument at all times. So
Speaker 1: what you're saying is that by nature of the argument
Speaker 1: taking place, that the argument is what helps keep the
Speaker 1: lights on. I'm saying that advertisers don't know the difference
Speaker 1: between an anti vaxer and a pro vaxer, and so
Speaker 1: in that way, they still get paid and they're not
Speaker 1: kicking people off simply because they don't like their language.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's funny because you have said
Speaker 1: earlier about like how it's like if you want to
Speaker 1: move to Montana and and you know, build fires, and
Speaker 1: that's a round that you can go, and that's how
Speaker 1: it feels like I have to deal with the Internet
Speaker 1: at this point. I feel like Patreon is me trying
Speaker 1: to move to Mantana, Montana, and like, y'all give me
Speaker 1: five dollars so I can build this fire, you know.
Speaker 1: Like I had actually started an app. I had created
Speaker 1: an app during the pandemic called SFB Society for the
Speaker 1: purpose of like let's have a space where there are
Speaker 1: no trolls, let's have a space where people can actually
Speaker 1: have discourse, you know, And and then there was like
Speaker 1: a fight on the app one day when this woman
Speaker 1: was like I will put you ahead to the curb
Speaker 1: and and we were like, yeah, that's against our guidelines. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, we can we can do that, baby girl.
Speaker 1: But what we realized I ended up having to close
Speaker 1: down the app because we couldn't. Managing a community is
Speaker 1: way harder than in actuality than I think most people
Speaker 1: really really understand. Like, yes, I think that's a hundred
Speaker 1: percent true. Into that in this I want to segue
Speaker 1: us into some of this research, the the everything I've
Speaker 1: read up to this point, and you take it all
Speaker 1: with a grain of salt. It maybe real, maybe not real.
Speaker 1: Is that they're not listening to everything that we're doing.
Speaker 1: Everything I've read, they're not watching everything we're doing. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't tell you know, Ay'm gonna tell you know
Speaker 1: like that they're gonna say day and listen that that's
Speaker 1: how they get you, because maybe they're not just they're
Speaker 1: just not gonna tell us. Maybe this is this is
Speaker 1: them just being like, no, we wouldn't do that to you, mama,
Speaker 1: Why would you even say that? Listen. I had to
Speaker 1: an interview earlier to day as someone was like, you know,
Speaker 1: do you feel like there are black factions that are
Speaker 1: working to like change, Hollywood, etcetera, etcetera, And if so,
Speaker 1: like who are they? And I was like, can tell
Speaker 1: y'all right? And really I should have just said, no,
Speaker 1: there aren't, there are none. Everything is back, you know, like,
Speaker 1: but it's like I don't feel like they would tell
Speaker 1: on themselves. Yeah. So so they they claim that they
Speaker 1: are not watching, they are not listening. Yes, your phone
Speaker 1: is a eyeball. Yes your speakers are ears, but that
Speaker 1: does not necessarily mean that they're listening to everything. And
Speaker 1: part of what they say as justification for that not
Speaker 1: being true is that the the amount of data that
Speaker 1: it would require for them to actually be able to
Speaker 1: listen to everything that you're saying is so insanely large
Speaker 1: that they we don't have the resources to compute. Moreover,
Speaker 1: they say that the computers themselves can't actually make sense
Speaker 1: of the way that human beings speak enough to be
Speaker 1: able to, like, you know, discern when they need to
Speaker 1: turn on and when they But you see what you said,
Speaker 1: the computers haven't been able to yet. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that is a key word in all of that.
Speaker 1: They say that because of our our addiction, because of
Speaker 1: our slang, because of all the different ways that that
Speaker 1: human speeches overpacked with innu window and sarcasm. The computers
Speaker 1: have no way of knowing what all of this means.
Speaker 1: But part of the reason that they know that is
Speaker 1: because they keep trying to feed our language two computers
Speaker 1: and be like, figure this ship out, nigga, I want
Speaker 1: I want you to know how to talk the way
Speaker 1: I talk, and the computer sounds like the white girl
Speaker 1: that I encountered in two thousand and five at at
Speaker 1: a job I was working at where I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm by the skate because they said they're gonna bounce
Speaker 1: in a minute. And she was like, why do you
Speaker 1: talk like that? I was like, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: She was like, do you have to talk hip hop
Speaker 1: talk all the time? Can't you speak English? Bitch? You
Speaker 1: know what? Though to that point though, I knew a
Speaker 1: drug dealer who said that, like the amount of slang
Speaker 1: in Detroit was so immense because they were always creating
Speaker 1: language that wouldn't be identified in the tap phone situation
Speaker 1: that you know, Like, so they were they were constantly
Speaker 1: creating just new ways of speaking about elicit activities to
Speaker 1: throw folks off the trail. And that was them just
Speaker 1: trying to throw other human beings off the trail. If
Speaker 1: you create new lingo every single day, the computers aren't
Speaker 1: going to be able to like do the math to
Speaker 1: be able to feed. That's what they're saying. I still
Speaker 1: don't even understand what pushing P means, so I don't
Speaker 1: know how to computer gonna figure that out. It was
Speaker 1: that was an urban dictionary look up for me, And
Speaker 1: I'm not proud to say that out loud. You know,
Speaker 1: you want to be you want to be youthful enough
Speaker 1: that you just like you he You're gonna say it,
Speaker 1: and you're like, yep, and then you go on with
Speaker 1: your day. But I was like, gonna, I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're saying most of the time. I definitely don't
Speaker 1: know what your Twitter is saying. So I'm gonna, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna look this one up. Someone had left it as
Speaker 1: a comment and I was like, is this a compliment?
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, because I'm really into blocking negative comments
Speaker 1: right now, and they were like, that ain't pushing P.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know, this is in support.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I gotta kill you or I mean,
Speaker 1: I just you know, Captain took me forever you know.
Speaker 1: I'm glad it's still a part of the lexicon because
Speaker 1: I finally have a grasp. But that's when I knew
Speaker 1: I was old, when I was like, Captain, why isn't
Speaker 1: that rolling off my tusk? It don't feel good. It
Speaker 1: don't feel good as a thirty plus, I'm in the club, bro.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I was trying to be generous. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry for your loss. Made the force be with you.
Speaker 1: So here's the other thing that I thought was useful.
Speaker 1: And this goes back to our Facebook conversation, and it
Speaker 1: really goes back to the grander conversation at hand, right
Speaker 1: is yes, they pent say, or at least this is
Speaker 1: what they claim, is that they're not listening. But there
Speaker 1: is a history to your point about the social dilemma
Speaker 1: of them doing funk shit with these applications. For example,
Speaker 1: Facebook has a history of hiring outside contractors to transcribe
Speaker 1: clips of audio from users on their services. There's another
Speaker 1: thing where they store messages that users wrote out but
Speaker 1: did not post, like some ship that you like kind
Speaker 1: of thought, you might say, and then you backtrack on it.
Speaker 1: Facebook saved it and they just have it available. And
Speaker 1: there's a history of ship like this. So when you
Speaker 1: tell me that you're not listening all the time, I
Speaker 1: don't believe you, because you keep doing evil ship in
Speaker 1: other directions. That the part that you just said about
Speaker 1: them keeping drafts, that's trippy. No, no, and let's be clear,
Speaker 1: not even drafts, because drafts you are saving for future use.
Speaker 1: They're saying they saved when you talk type something out,
Speaker 1: so it's an auto save. It's like and you were like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm better than this. You're not. And Facebook has evidence
Speaker 1: of it forever. Mhm, you know, I think. So we're
Speaker 1: at a time where I feel like people have really
Speaker 1: tapped into their darkness and are like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna choose. I'm gonna choose darkness. Like that feels
Speaker 1: a lot more prevalent than ever in than ever in
Speaker 1: my lived experience, Like I feel like we all have darkness,
Speaker 1: but for most of my life it feels like the
Speaker 1: consensus was, yeah, but that ain't cool, so don't go there, right,
Speaker 1: But now it feels like they're like folks like fucking
Speaker 1: I'm out here, I'm trash, I'm trying, you know, and
Speaker 1: like are just like tapping into that, and it fox
Speaker 1: with my perfectionism because it makes me feel like my
Speaker 1: only counter to that is to try to be like
Speaker 1: a flawless human, which is not possible game to be playing.
Speaker 1: And so when you hear about something like that, you're
Speaker 1: just like, damn, so so they've tracked even what I
Speaker 1: caught myself and did better. But we also know for
Speaker 1: a fact that we are in this crazy scenario of
Speaker 1: a We are in a giant gladiator ring on a
Speaker 1: regular basis where folks are waiting to see like, I
Speaker 1: know you wasn't ship. I knew it. And it's just
Speaker 1: wild to hear that they have like weaponry like that
Speaker 1: against anyone who's used their app. They're app and and
Speaker 1: theoretically maybe they do nothing with this, right, maybe it
Speaker 1: truly is just them like trying to teach a computer speech,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's some thing that even if they didn't
Speaker 1: plan on doing something with, someone might be able to
Speaker 1: hack access I expose you forward your choices, even if
Speaker 1: that wasn't Facebook's plan necessarily, it's all scary ship. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, when is something When are they going to
Speaker 1: handle your rest all of us and be like here's
Speaker 1: some ship that you did and yeah, Yeah, what's that
Speaker 1: minority report? We ain't that far from whatever that energy is.
Speaker 1: The last thing I'll tell you before we go to
Speaker 1: break is that I I additionally wanted to sort of
Speaker 1: look into that tendency or that thing that happens where
Speaker 1: you talk about something in a room and then suddenly
Speaker 1: your phone is showing you ads for the thing and
Speaker 1: you're like, what the funk? My phone clearly had to
Speaker 1: be listening to me, And they claim that that is
Speaker 1: not the case. That is absolutely the case. There's no
Speaker 1: other there's no world where that's not the case. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what. I'm gonna tell you what the
Speaker 1: Internet told me, and you you, you tell me where
Speaker 1: you land in all of this. They actually say that
Speaker 1: because of the way that these ads work and because
Speaker 1: of the way that everything works, it's more a issue
Speaker 1: of probability than it is an issue of them listening,
Speaker 1: that the likelihood of you seeing the thing that you
Speaker 1: were just talking about is one in a million. But
Speaker 1: because they show you so many things all the time,
Speaker 1: and because human beings have a tendency to notice patterns,
Speaker 1: they we create connections that may not necessarily be as
Speaker 1: immediate as we think they are you're already shaking your
Speaker 1: head now because that's light aluminatim So I have my
Speaker 1: body like secret society trying to keep on me like
Speaker 1: that is a complete gaslight, because I like, I could
Speaker 1: see that if it was generic, but it's not like
Speaker 1: there are so for instance, a perfect example is that
Speaker 1: I am now a homeowner. There are so many conversations
Speaker 1: that I'm having for the first time all the time, right,
Speaker 1: like they're not a part of my regular lexicon. Like
Speaker 1: I never said h vat before August onest, two thousand
Speaker 1: and twenty two, two thousand one. So there's no trend
Speaker 1: for the technology to be pulling from to randomly show
Speaker 1: me this conversation around pool solar panels. Sure, however, me
Speaker 1: and my man just had a conversation twenty minutes ago
Speaker 1: about pool solar panels and all of a sudden, so
Speaker 1: it's a gaslight, you know, I mean there, listen, I
Speaker 1: do know, Like you know, you learn a new word
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're you hear it and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, coincidence. It's like that word
Speaker 1: may have been being said all the time, but you
Speaker 1: just hadn't you didn't have a consciousness for it, right,
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to tell you is happening. No niggas,
Speaker 1: y'all are listening to my conversations around pool solar heaters,
Speaker 1: and I don't fucking like it. Well, what they also
Speaker 1: are saying, and I don't disagree with you, it does
Speaker 1: make me feel like, get the funk out of here.
Speaker 1: But what they're also saying is you notice the pool
Speaker 1: solar panels in your ads or whatever. The pool solar
Speaker 1: panels wasn't there before. Also, then that looks like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what the white man told me.
Speaker 1: That's how to get you a Hey, I'm just reporting
Speaker 1: back with the white man told me about the Internet
Speaker 1: and the safety of it. If there's one thing the
Speaker 1: white Man good at, it's telling you some ship and
Speaker 1: making it folks be like, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: The next thing you know, it's it's it's two and
Speaker 1: we got a whole bunch of folks talking about critical
Speaker 1: race theory. That and the ship is a complete farce
Speaker 1: and a lie. Also to that point, I want to
Speaker 1: promote on Showtime Everything's Gonna Be All White. It's a
Speaker 1: docuseries that I'm a part of that basically, over the
Speaker 1: course of several episodes, breaks down conspiracy theories that have
Speaker 1: been create rooted in white supremacy and on my territory.
Speaker 1: I don't get that at all. Hey cut that cut
Speaker 1: that it doesn't make the final cut cutting. But I'm
Speaker 1: really proud to be a part of it because it
Speaker 1: really is making white people is just so upset just
Speaker 1: the trailer. The trailer is making them just so upset.
Speaker 1: They're like the last and that means we've done it right.
Speaker 1: We're doing a lot right, and I'm excited. We're gonna
Speaker 1: take one more break, but I'm excited to come back
Speaker 1: because I have some more information that I'm curious to
Speaker 1: see how this bumps against your your defiance that that
Speaker 1: they are gas lighting us. I'm truly excited. We're gonna
Speaker 1: take another break. We'll be back with more, Amanda Seals
Speaker 1: and more. My mama told me, and we are Kenny
Speaker 1: Lenda Nigga a pencil. Yeah, we're back here with more.
Speaker 1: My mama told me more, Amanda Steals. We're still talking
Speaker 1: about the possibility that your technology is constantly listening to you.
Speaker 1: And I'm very excited, Amanda, because you before we went
Speaker 1: to break, you said, it's complete gas lighting that that
Speaker 1: they're saying they don't need to listen to us. And
Speaker 1: the final piece of research that I thought was really
Speaker 1: essential in this entire conversation and and really sort of
Speaker 1: hammered home. The thing that scares me the most in
Speaker 1: all of this is that the art a few of
Speaker 1: the articles I read said, our tech absolutely is not
Speaker 1: listening to you. It's not recording anything because they don't
Speaker 1: have to. They already have all the information that they
Speaker 1: need about you before you've said anything on any phone
Speaker 1: or text any message. It truly, it haunted the funk
Speaker 1: out of me. Basically, they said they know everything about you.
Speaker 1: They know your age, they know your interests, they know
Speaker 1: your locations, they know where your families and friends live.
Speaker 1: They have everything that they can gather, and so subsequently
Speaker 1: they don't have to listen to your recent conversations because
Speaker 1: they're constantly sort of doing marketing strategy course corrections analysis
Speaker 1: to to assume that you, a new homeowner moving into
Speaker 1: this place, probably has enough money and enough resources or
Speaker 1: or functionality to be able to think about solar panels
Speaker 1: for your pool. So we will introduce you to solar
Speaker 1: panel adds even if that isn't your ship yet. Well,
Speaker 1: I think there's also the Google of it all, right,
Speaker 1: Like the all it takes is you googling pinky toes
Speaker 1: and now you getting sent a bunch of information about
Speaker 1: foot fetishes. Correct, And he's like, I was not googling
Speaker 1: for that purpose. What they like, why not here's an
Speaker 1: option if you're here and maybe you see that and
Speaker 1: you go, no, I don't like foot and they'll be like,
Speaker 1: all right, I got your big dog, I got how
Speaker 1: about this? How about it? About this? You know, I
Speaker 1: think to be clear, it's like, even if it's not
Speaker 1: the microphone on the phone, even if it's not the
Speaker 1: camera on the phone, I'm still disturbed by the Google
Speaker 1: of it all, the traceability of that. You know, Like
Speaker 1: people are like, man, do you should run for office
Speaker 1: one day? And I'm like, I can't run for office
Speaker 1: one day because I utilize porn hub. And porn hub
Speaker 1: will send you a video that says team so and
Speaker 1: so da da da da, And you're like, nah, it's
Speaker 1: already there, and porn up has saved that to your
Speaker 1: favorite's already there. And even though these are eighteen year
Speaker 1: old or nineteen year old whatever, it still looks fucking creepy.
Speaker 1: And I personally am just like whenever you put teen
Speaker 1: in front of it, that's clearly somebody who wants to
Speaker 1: see some ship that is sketchy. But it's like like
Speaker 1: it's a very It's like we are in a fake
Speaker 1: free space. In this Internet. It seems like it's a
Speaker 1: world wide web. It's available, everything is available to you.
Speaker 1: You can be here and you know, find out your
Speaker 1: information is more available to you than it ever has been, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: But in that they're clocking your every move, yes, and
Speaker 1: they're capitalizing on your every move. And I I've had
Speaker 1: to train myself that even when them cookies come up
Speaker 1: and they're like do you want this track? This apter track?
Speaker 1: At first I was just like I don't want to
Speaker 1: be bothered, like whatever track. Now I'm like no, yeah,
Speaker 1: that first up, and and it's so scary. This this
Speaker 1: will really hammer home exactly what you're saying. Ten years ago,
Speaker 1: and this was ten years ago when our technology was
Speaker 1: fucking iPhone threes. Facebook was mining over five hundred terabytes
Speaker 1: of data a day, a single day, five hundred terabytes
Speaker 1: of data. I am not a technology person, but that
Speaker 1: is like ship tons of people's data every single day,
Speaker 1: and so that means that if you looked up some
Speaker 1: ship ten years ago, they're still holding onto it and
Speaker 1: figuring out who you are and who you were based
Speaker 1: on the information they used to have, So they don't
Speaker 1: need to listen to you. Every search you've ever searched
Speaker 1: is being accumulated and strategized against you, and even worse,
Speaker 1: what they The scariest part of all of this is
Speaker 1: these companies have the ability to buy and sell your
Speaker 1: information to each other. So it means that even if
Speaker 1: Facebook is the one that knew that you like feet,
Speaker 1: that also then makes that these other companies now know
Speaker 1: that you like feet, which is why your feet ship
Speaker 1: is coming up from you know, an arbitrary thing that
Speaker 1: you may have liked or or said on a different app.
Speaker 1: Do they have straight flights to Montana? Hey? If you
Speaker 1: lick it up and you start getting it's it's a
Speaker 1: it's a crazy game where basically like your phones don't
Speaker 1: need to listen to to you because they've already got
Speaker 1: a twenty plus year game of telephone going. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, They're just whispering all your secrets back
Speaker 1: and forth. Oh that don't even say, why do you
Speaker 1: put it like that? That just felt real, like I
Speaker 1: was able to see that, And in my mind it's like,
Speaker 1: it's what's his name? Hold on because there's a particular
Speaker 1: person who whispers the Yang twins. They had a whole
Speaker 1: song about it. I feel like there's um I like,
Speaker 1: in my mind, I see, looky Stanfield like doing the
Speaker 1: whispering got him. That's that's the person that got in
Speaker 1: my head when I when you said that, him being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so she google corn on the car. Now what was
Speaker 1: she trying to do with the corn? Look was she
Speaker 1: trying to cook? It? Was trying to make a new
Speaker 1: kind of Molotov cock them? What was she trying to
Speaker 1: do with that? I don't know. Sounds kind of fun
Speaker 1: to me. Yep, let's say that. Let's let's let's all
Speaker 1: go onto that one. I just don't you know, when
Speaker 1: we look at the espionage that was weaponized against our
Speaker 1: civil rights leaders m h and you know, the homegrown
Speaker 1: terrorism that our government enacted upon them, that that is
Speaker 1: where my head goes with all of this stuff. You
Speaker 1: know that, Okay? You know, so it's being used for
Speaker 1: capitalist purposes. That's shitty. But I just feel like we
Speaker 1: are in what seems to me to be a very
Speaker 1: impendingly treacherous and violent era in this country. I feel
Speaker 1: I feel like we are on the brink of a
Speaker 1: another type of McCarthy ism that's going to be around
Speaker 1: race and the speaking. And you know what, let me
Speaker 1: not even say that, it's gonna be around truth, right,
Speaker 1: because that's essentially what they're silencing. It's the truth about
Speaker 1: what this country has been and what white people have
Speaker 1: managed to accomplish by oppressing others. And so it's it's
Speaker 1: only it's only a matter of time to me that this,
Speaker 1: this things that we're discussing become weaponized in a way
Speaker 1: that's I mean, I'm sure it is already, but in
Speaker 1: an even more sinister way that we find ourselves Party two,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure in other countries it already has. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think and even in its simplest form,
Speaker 1: we we are going to be met with accountability that
Speaker 1: that we didn't earn, right that like if I said
Speaker 1: some ship ten years ago that has now been deemed
Speaker 1: challenging or problematic. Who and when they're they're deciding that
Speaker 1: it is correct or incorrect, is going to be the game,
Speaker 1: right that, Like, Yo, he said this, and maybe it
Speaker 1: is problematic for our day and time, or maybe I'm
Speaker 1: saying something that continues to be accurate, but you've decided,
Speaker 1: based on the sort of like the mass public, that
Speaker 1: it's unacceptable and I'm being punished for it, either by
Speaker 1: being you know, outcasted, or judged or shamed or just
Speaker 1: called a funky ass bitch on the internet. It's truly why, well,
Speaker 1: there's a version. I mean, if if we continue to
Speaker 1: see this trend right where I might even call them
Speaker 1: right wing, where these like white supremacist extremists like are
Speaker 1: getting a real stronghold on all facets right, whether it's
Speaker 1: not just it's not just politically but media as well.
Speaker 1: And if we continue to see that grow, then the
Speaker 1: ship that we're talking about that you know, in this
Speaker 1: current climate for a lot of people feels real correct
Speaker 1: and right. You know, it's the people who are in
Speaker 1: power who get to determine what is considered what is
Speaker 1: considered a crime, was considered problematic, what is because you know,
Speaker 1: so my whole existence would be considered problematic. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you're going to jail and uh, I won't be able
Speaker 1: to stand up with you because all of this is
Speaker 1: gonna be Why listen, it's it's just the same way
Speaker 1: that we look at the fact that lie Nigga is
Speaker 1: really imprisoned for weed right now, while Ashley h and
Speaker 1: Ashley Ce have billboards for their new weed dispensary, and
Speaker 1: it's like they was they picked the right time. The
Speaker 1: ship just swayed, it just changed, it changes, and we
Speaker 1: are not nearly as in charge of the changes as
Speaker 1: we think we are, and subsequently we are much more
Speaker 1: victim than than we care to admit that we we
Speaker 1: might be. This is such a fun conversation. Would you
Speaker 1: believe this was meant to be the closer? This is
Speaker 1: gonna be the end of the combot outside and just
Speaker 1: taking nature? Yeah, well, Amanda, this was I had a
Speaker 1: good time. I had a great time. I'm a real
Speaker 1: sick funck though, so I you know, I'll take it
Speaker 1: as I can. This was great. Can you tell the
Speaker 1: people where they can find you and what cool ship
Speaker 1: you have going on? First? I want to say, though,
Speaker 1: that lengthen is always a source of a thought that
Speaker 1: I'll that I never think about. I just remember very
Speaker 1: specifically asking you a question about Michelle Obama. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say what the answer was that you gave me,
Speaker 1: but I would like that's probably what I said. Well,
Speaker 1: I was like, why she cool with George? Why cool
Speaker 1: George Bush? Why I remember this convote George Bush? And
Speaker 1: your answer was not was something I had never considered.
Speaker 1: I mean that, and I had considered a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: and you you put another pin on the board, like,
Speaker 1: but have you considered this? So this, you know, is
Speaker 1: the perfect podcast to your askd That's basically what I think.
Speaker 1: That that means the world to me. Um and then
Speaker 1: and let me also just publicly thank langs and for
Speaker 1: always being willing to show up the ship that I
Speaker 1: asked him to do Langston and show up to do
Speaker 1: a sketch. She's like, what time I got to be there?
Speaker 1: Back and I'll do it. So everybuddy in black, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what were we doing this in the back of a
