00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: that's revealing about who you are? Oh? Here's I had

7
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: to look up some Pokemon stuff. Uh, Pokemon stuff. Yeah,

8
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's as much as I can because

9
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: my son's really into it, okay and into Pokemon. Yeah,

10
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: like you like, did you make him into it? Is

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: that still on TV? I thought? Ask catch him? And

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: them are on Syndicate? I mean there's he was watching

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: one the other night that was from like so there's

14
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: always new ones. It's the rackets, pretty impressive what they do,

15
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: and it's cool. It's just like little animals they make

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: up and it's just right for kids imagination and adults.

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: And I mean it's a really smart racket. But it's

18
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: all nonsense too, so I can't follow a lot of it.

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: And it's all based around, based loosely around like let's

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: make a children's show around Uh, the idea of like

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: dog and cock fighting essentially is like the overall theme

22
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: I didn't want to Yeah, you're exactly right, is it's

23
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: making these little things that you have in your pocket

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: fight your little pet. Yeah, um, which you're not supposed

25
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 1: to do, like I've done it a couple of times

26
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: with my you know, rest in peace, Finny. But you

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: know he was a he was a prize fighting king,

28
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: Charles Cavalier. Uh he his special move was when he

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: would get into a fight, he would immediately roll over.

30
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Even if the other animal was a squirrel, he would

31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: roll over. So that was my fighting dogs. Uh So

32
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: he was just a loser. Yeah, he was like a

33
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: basketball player who liked tries to get the charge. That's right.

34
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: He took the charge dog fighting. He wasn't even taking

35
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: the like his feet were moving. He wasn't even taking

36
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: a charge like a tough guy. He was like moving

37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: back where it was like that's a block, dude, you're

38
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: just kind of getting in people's way. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

39
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: He was like, just make it quick was his overall

40
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: strategy on any confrontation. Just kill me quickly, which is

41
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: that's pretty serious, not just the softest part. Yeah, that's

42
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: not a dumb fighting strategy. It would be like if

43
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: someone comes at you, you just vomit the mediately. That's right.

44
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: That's why we as a species shipped ourselves and throw

45
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: up on ourselves, is to make ourselves taste bad for

46
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: when we're being eaten. Uh, that's wise. Also, there's something

47
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: very thought about getting to a fight and just immediately

48
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: getting on the ground yourself and like giving the other

49
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: person no satisfaction. Like I want to say that happened slowly,

50
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: like like the fight starts doing like yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no,

51
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: we don't fight, we won't fight. Let'm just getting started

52
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: for you. I'm gonna kick it off. I'm gonna get

53
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the water boiling. I'm gonna be there on the ground.

54
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you guys. That was kind

55
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: of my strategy when I was growing up. I was like,

56
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: I really loved the Rocky movies, but I'm more identified

57
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: with the early rounds when he was getting the ship

58
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: kicked out of him, and so I was like, I

59
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: I got beat up a lot when I was a kid,

60
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: and uh, I was really good at it, Like I

61
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: would make it look dramatic when the bully kicked me

62
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: in the chest, Like I would fly backwards. Uh. That

63
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: maybe why they can't picking on you, because it awesome.

64
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: He really sells it makes us look strong. I remember

65
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: one time in college, defensive lineman wanted to fight me

66
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: at a bar, and I just whispered in his ear,

67
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: you can tell everyone you destroyed me tomorrow, but I'm

68
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: going to leave. And it confused him so much that

69
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to like bow up to him, because

70
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: I was like, well, immediately, you're gonna win, just I

71
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: can't beat you. He looked so confused. He's like, just

72
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: get the funk out of here. I was like, all right,

73
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: And the girl I was with, she was like, what

74
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: do you say to him? I was like, I deeply

75
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: confused him, is what I did. Let's go see. I

76
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: told him what was going to happen, and he immediately

77
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: decided he didn't want any of that. I'm kind of

78
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: the opposite, like I'm short, So I don't know if

79
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: that just always made me like have like a little

80
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: Napoleonic complex or something, but like I wanted people to

81
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: believe that I could fight, and I've never been in

82
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: a physical altercation in my life unless I was playing

83
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: with my cousins, So like I remember this one girl

84
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: was like harassing me in college and like it was

85
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: really really bad. She was like mad and I like

86
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: stole a boyfriend for short anyway, Um, this is like

87
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: we're children. I was like twenty No, yeah, I was nineteen,

88
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: I think, and um, she just kept harassing me, and

89
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: so I like this sounds insane. I'm like I can't

90
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: believe I'm saying this on podcast. Um. I was like, no,

91
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm gonna show up to her house because

92
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: this is college when I live, like on the I'm

93
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: gonna sho up to this bitch's house. So she didn't

94
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: know that if she keeps working with me, I'm gonna

95
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: put these hands on her. And like I could convince people,

96
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna act. I can convince me back up fight.

97
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: We're like I've had to fight no back. And when

98
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: of my friends was like, you know what you should do.

99
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: You should put basiline on your face, and I was

100
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, so you showed up with a saline

101
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: on your face. Yeah you had a cut man in

102
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: your corner. That's amazing. Um. Yeah, I just mine was

103
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: not really a strategy. Mine was just I had no

104
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: control over my emotions. I was very sensitive, little boy,

105
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: what something you think is overrated? Overrated as binging binging television?

106
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's how TV is meant to

107
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: be watched. Like I think we don't wow no, but

108
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, these these might not be the most

109
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: controversial things, but there are things that people don't think of.

110
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: As a television writer, it really, I like, because there's

111
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: a huge movement and now like critical YouTube videos and

112
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: like just everybody being super hypercritical of media, and I

113
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: just think a lot of television isn't meant to be binged.

114
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: I think we end up being antsy and we're like

115
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: the show moved really slowly, and it's like did the

116
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: show move slow or were you just like so anty

117
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: to get to the next episode so you could be

118
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: done with the series. So like I guess as a

119
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: creator and as someone that is, you know, writing some

120
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: of the it just I just don't know if all

121
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: television is meant to be I don't think our brains

122
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: are meant to take it in that way. I'm finding

123
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: that to be very true with I may destroy you,

124
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: or I went into it like saving up a couple

125
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: of episodes. I'm like Okay, I'm gonna watch three at once,

126
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: but it is simply not that kind of ship. Like

127
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: I after watching an episode, I'm like, I need some time,

128
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: I need to process, Like it's such a good rich

129
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: show that I wouldn't want to sit like it haven't

130
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: in one sitting, if that makes sense. Yeah, a lot

131
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: of people don't realize that when Big Bang Theory and

132
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: Young Sheldon first came on the air, like they were

133
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: not like they were meant to be enjoyed over weeks

134
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: and not. Yeah. No, absolutely, Like I just can't take

135
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: that sort of thing in all at once. I hate

136
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: Jack for making fun of my my takes, like like

137
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: my takes what's underrated, like drinking water? Everyone should drink water. No,

138
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: I think that's what I think gets a really good point.

139
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: I've definitely found myself overwhelmed by a show that is

140
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: like two dents, uh, and Big Bang Theory is not

141
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: it just being a dick. I also just think people

142
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: like are if you were to recommend it somebody like

143
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: nah it was it was too slow or not. It

144
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: didn't like and I think it would have been that

145
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: piece of art that literally those creators spent like months

146
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: to a year of their life making might have been

147
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: more enjoyable for you if you didn't binge it. So

148
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: it's just what I'm saying as a creator totally as

149
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: somebody who's like in writer's rooms, does that conversation ever

150
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: come up where it's just like, well, people are going

151
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: to be watching this, not over weeks, but over the

152
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: course thousand percent. In fact, the last show I worked

153
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: on was at Netflix, and so we literally at the

154
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: end of our episode had to have a cliffhanger so

155
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: that the little five seconds it gives you before it

156
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: goes to the next episode, you would you would want

157
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: to watch it, you cannot have. So like with network TV,

158
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: it all ties up, not all the time, but a

159
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: lot of times, the end of the episode ties up

160
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: in some one of a conclusion, like somewhat of a

161
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: little bow that you can take with you until the

162
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: next week. But um, not all the times. But Netflix,

163
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: you at the end of our final act. It's like

164
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: when we don't even have acts because we don't have commercials.

165
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: But structurally at the end of the episode, it has

166
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: to be a cliffhanger for you to go into the

167
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: next episode. Something I found that it's always disorienting for

168
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: me is like there is between episodes you are encouraged

169
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: to not repeat information, and because that is like going

170
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: to throw a listener out there, like or a viewers,

171
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: we're off there, like oh no, no no, no, they just

172
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: watched the last episode. You don't need to, like, you know,

173
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: in the a t V used to be where you

174
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: sort of had to recap what happened last week at

175
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: the beginning, but now it's like, yeah, don't do that.

176
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: It will encourage people to turn it off because they'll feel,

177
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, condescended to Yeah. But I feel like Terry

178
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: Gross interviews that this is I feel like she's a

179
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: really good example of somebody who is coming from a

180
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: previous meat where you had to reset constantly. She's always like,

181
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: if you're just joining me, this is happening, and this

182
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: is who I'm talking to, and in podcast form, it

183
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me because it just allows you to take

184
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: things in at a pace that is very easy, and

185
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: you know you're not just I don't know like that.

186
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: I think sometimes you're right that, like it's not always

187
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: bad to repeat things. Obviously, you don't want to do

188
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: it in a way that is like banging people over

189
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: the head. But um, yeah, so I don't know, I

190
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know what which I prefer.

191
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: But it's interesting, what is something you think is underrated?

192
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: What is something that I think is underrated serving jury duty?

193
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: I think people need to be serving jury duty, especially

194
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: black and brown people, young people need to stop treating

195
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: jury duty like it's something like it's a punishment. Um.

196
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: And I say that because there are a lot of

197
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: old white people that love to serve jerry duty and

198
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: they use whatever they want in their brain to make decisions.

199
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: And sometimes it is racism and homophobia and all of

200
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: the ship that is uh white white supremacy. And I

201
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: think that a lot of people just kind of look

202
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: down on jury duty. And and normally I would have

203
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: like a joke answer, but this is like I really

204
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: want to get like start changing people's mind about jury duty. Um.

205
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: And even the one time I did, and my I

206
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: think it was ten years ago, it was like, you know,

207
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: because a lot of times in these cases, in order

208
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: to like you know, prevent people from you know, using

209
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: uh their prejudice to make judgment calls, um, they like

210
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: leave information out. And and I served on a as

211
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: a juror on the case where it was obvious that

212
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: it was too fighting boyfriends or lovers or some ship,

213
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: and because they didn't say that, people were in the

214
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: in the jury were confused. They were like, I don't

215
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: understand why. And I finally was like, they're gay, you guys,

216
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: they're sucking gay like context clues. You know, you can

217
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: see it in his eyebrows, is like Latino Raver had

218
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: those thin eyebrows. Are like, hey, it is homosexual. Okay, guys.

219
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: If you can't see it, I don't know what to

220
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: tell you. And uh. And it was also funny because

221
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: even when they were like giving their testimonies, they were

222
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: like trying to hide their quote unquote gay voice. You

223
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: guys know what I'm talking about, don't even And it

224
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: was really funny because I was like, they're really trying

225
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: to talk with their like white work voice, and you're

226
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: not full of me with that ship. You're not full

227
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: of me with that ship. So that's weird to have

228
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: a case that they were just treating it like it

229
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: was like these random men attacked each other. So you know,

230
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: they were they were together in the car or something

231
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: like I can't really remember. They were together somehow driving

232
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: his car. I was driving his car and you know

233
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: that kind of where and then it turned into like, wait,

234
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: so why are they going to against each other? But

235
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: it was very much like they were just mad at

236
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: each other a year ago and now they're uncomfortable. It's

237
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: uncomfortable anyways, so I think people should serve on anyways. Oh,

238
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: what I was trying to say was there was an

239
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: old white guy who was like, I don't understand what

240
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: that says about. And he was just like, this doesn't

241
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: make sense. They're guilty. And I was like, how does

242
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: it not make sense? And they're guilty. That ship don't

243
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: make no sense. Assuming Yeah, I'm sorry my reflex when

244
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: I get in here and they're right exactly. Yeah. People

245
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: people are like, my gut feeling, I'm like, your gut

246
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: is racist, sir, Like, that's not a gut feeling, that's racism. Um, really,

247
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: because my gut has been on a steady diet of

248
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: Sizzler buffets and cracker barrel for the last sixty years.

249
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm stewing in there. That racism is just stewing in

250
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: your little to me Sizzler racist? Do we think of

251
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: Sizzler as a racist restaurant? I just want to posit

252
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: that to the group. I mean, what are feelings on Sizzler.

253
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I used to work with Sizzler, but then

254
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: I think of the people. I would always see it's

255
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: Sizzler at the North Hollywood one or the Bank one,

256
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, not really my vibe, not really

257
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: my crowd in it. I mean, but that's the thing.

258
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: It depends on the area you're in, right, because like

259
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: or where I'm from, Yeah, there's a lot of white

260
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: people there, but like a lot of minorities. They look

261
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: at it like, oh, that's somewhere nice to go, because

262
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: in that area that you go. That's what I'm saying.

263
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Everybody has their ideas, but it's certainly I digress. Okay,

264
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: we'll go back to the lecture at hand, which is, yes,

265
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: absolutely participate in jury duty because, like you said, a

266
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: lot of people and be like, oh man, funk I

267
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: gotta do it. But a lot of the time too, yeah,

268
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: when really it's like, fuck, man, I could maybe actually

269
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: protect somebody and be a voice of reason against maybe

270
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: a group of really ignorant people who are going to

271
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: try and enforce their terrible worldview on somebody through the

272
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: judicial system. You think about the people who are able

273
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: to participate in eager to participate. It's the same people

274
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: who tend to have you know, it's like boomer is

275
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: who have money put away, like old white people. And meanwhile,

276
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: California employers do not have to pay employees for any

277
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: lost wages due to jury duty summon So it's like

278
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: specifically designed that way. It's like one of those uh,

279
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: invisible ways that they kind of stacked the deck. Yeah,

280
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: which is why it's important. Yeah, exactly, which is why

281
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: it's important. If you have the time, if you have

282
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: the means, and you were not a white person, you

283
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: should I mean white people too, I mean especially the

284
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: younger generation. They're like, you know, opening their up their eyes,

285
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: they might listen to you. Yeah, and so um uh yeah.

286
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: So if you if you have the means, I I

287
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: strongly recommend it because you can't make a difference in

288
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: a way that is actually systemic. You can make a

289
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: systemic difference, which is what we're talking about on a

290
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: daily basis. But then it's tough too because you go

291
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: in there and like during selection and you show that

292
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: you know a lot and then like one inevitably one

293
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: lawyers like I want them out right to the whole

294
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: thing up for my defense or my prosecution, absolutely, which

295
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: is also why you answer those questions with that in mind. Yeah, exactly, Like, uh,

296
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: they're like what do you think about, like what do

297
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: you know about what's what's your experiences with the with

298
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: law enforcement? And I'm like, uh, They're like, okay, here,

299
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: he's he's already having to lie about this because he's

300
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: not going to be amenable. Right, all right, guys, let's

301
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back and

302
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: we're back. What is a myth? What's something people think

303
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: is true you know, to be false or vice versa.

304
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: That hard work alone will rise you above your position.

305
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: That is very much a myth. Ah, it takes more

306
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: than hard work. It takes intelligence, it takes opportunity, and

307
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: it takes chance. Yeah, and that's that. I mean that

308
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: those are the facts. That those are always the facts.

309
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you have to work hard, but then

310
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: you also have to work smart, and then you have

311
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: to you have to take advantage of opportunities and recognize

312
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: those opportunities. Like it's not just that myth of like

313
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: if you are sweating at the end of the day

314
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: because because that's what all those guys that are born

315
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: with money think too, because at the end of the day,

316
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: they're tired too, so they were just as hard as

317
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: everybody else. Yeah, hard work is like the one thing

318
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: that you alone can control, whereas like intelligence, good breaks, luck,

319
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: like those are things that so I understand the focus.

320
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: But then we have gone and edited all the other

321
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: stuff out, like the system that makes it like twenty

322
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: times more likely for somebody in one neighborhood to succeed

323
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: than somebody in another. Uh. And that that's the first

324
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: thing that happens. When somebody's uh, you know, success story

325
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: gets written, they immediately edit out all the people who

326
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: helped them along the way, and it becomes the great

327
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: person narrative, like their personal triumph over adversity. Nobody believed

328
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: in them when it was just haters. It was just

329
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: haters the whole way. Haters motivated them. Uh. And it's yeah,

330
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: that's very powerful. America loves that ship. And it's also

331
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: just completely completely untrue. It's bullshit. Yeah, if you want

332
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: to If you don't think it's bullshit, look at sports.

333
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: That was a first place It was clear to me

334
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: when I played well, I went from high school sports

335
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: to college sports, being like, I'm working way harder than

336
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: some of these guys and it never will matter. Holy shit. Yeah,

337
00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: just talent. But also I wonder if people can't let

338
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: go of this narrative, because then their lives seem a

339
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: bit more bleak. Like if you you really feel you

340
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: alone can't change your station in life without a credible

341
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: amount of help, a good amount of luck and you know,

342
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot of fortune, then it kind of becomes like, wow,

343
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: the place that I was born in life, financially, I

344
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: can't seem to increase my station. And that's supposed to

345
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: be the American dream, Which is why I think people

346
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: love billionaires so much. Is that the poor people who

347
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: they're killing because they're like, yeah, but if I had

348
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: had all that money, It's like, but you don't, and

349
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: you won't. That's what we trying to get you to realize.

350
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: It's like, you have a better chance at it if

351
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: we got them to pay their fair share, but right

352
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: now you have no chance, and you're just like, I

353
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: don't know, jacking it to the fact that maybe one

354
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: day you're gonna wake up sitting on a bunch of

355
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: gold coins. Well, yeah, and I mean, to add to

356
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: that point, I think a lot of it is psychologically.

357
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: We don't like a lot of people don't even want

358
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: to be billionaires. What they want is not to worry

359
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: about if they get sick, they're gonna be poor and

360
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: destitute for generations because they got sick. Now their families

361
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: in debt for two thousand. I think that they just

362
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: want to be able to be like, Oh, I've got

363
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: a good job at this factory or whatever it is,

364
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: blue collar and I make a decent wage. I get

365
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: together the lake on the weekends, and I'm I mean

366
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: that was what Detroit was until they fleeced it, right,

367
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: We had all that, we had it all it was.

368
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean in Detroit wasn't just white people. I mean

369
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: that's why it's destitute now because all the white people

370
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: left and let all the black people suffer because that

371
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: system allowed that. I just think it's like, it's so

372
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: fucked that that we put all that that that mental

373
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: success is like by money. I think that's another thing

374
00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: where they hijacked the church too, right when they I mean,

375
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: the church has always kind of been churches are scams

376
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: every now and then you get I disagree. I think

377
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: a lot of churches are being run by con artists.

378
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: And now, yes, okay, come on out, you go back

379
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: back even in the eighteenth century, like the church would

380
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: be includes with the government like there's always been. I'm

381
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: not talking about system. I'm talking about community building. That's

382
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: what our mamas talk about when they go to church.

383
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: They're not talking about that. They're talking about they go

384
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: see their friends. That's their community. Now that was hijacked

385
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: by a bigger system that started preaching them about gays

386
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: and abortion for political gang for a long time. That

387
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: was not their whole scam. Was just like I live

388
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: a little better life than my flock. That was their

389
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: whole scame. And it's you know, megachurches and it's not

390
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: let's not to say that you can't have a big

391
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: church or you can't be rich. In the name of Jesus,

392
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that once you know,

393
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: you start swiping your credit card at the altar a thing,

394
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: uh things, yeah, like well like when you do um.

395
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to call it a specific church, but

396
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: there's a big mega church in Dallas where like yeah,

397
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: when you do tithing, like which makes sense, like it's

398
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's more efficient or whatever. But yeah, the

399
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: credit card swiper comes down as I mean, yeah, that

400
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, and we prefer you have the one

401
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: that you can just tap it. It just everything Now

402
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: it's like more tasteful and from your phone until you

403
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: put your card in phone on your phone and then

404
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: you just do it through the phone. But I remember

405
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: distinctly as a kid seeing uh swiper, like I need

406
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: a giving app for my shows. You douse name. Okay, alright, guys,

407
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's get into some stories. I do want

408
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: to talk about the Elijah McClain story. This is one

409
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: that we've brought up and been like, I I can't

410
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: even like look at the videos. They make me cry.

411
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: There's a video where he walks in and people at

412
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: his job are having a surprise party for him, and

413
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: he's just such uh, he's like so clearly moved by

414
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: the fact that these people are having history's most half

415
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: passed surprise party for him. It's like two people and

416
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: a cake, and he's just like, I don't know, it's

417
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: you cry when you watch it and and know what

418
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: happens to him. You see the police body cam footage

419
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: of them running up on him. He's holding his hands

420
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: out in fear, uh and sort of instinctual defensiveness and

421
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: just like, oh no, no, no, I'm I'm what what's happening?

422
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: They put him in a chokehold that is designed to

423
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: deprive your brain of oxygen until you pass out. Then

424
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: the paramedics injected him with ketamine when they arrived, and

425
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: he died on the way to the hospital. You know,

426
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: a combination of all the ways the institutional racism dehumanizes

427
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: black human beings. They didn't see a kind, gentle human being,

428
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: which is what you get from just like watching two

429
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: seconds of a video of him, if they had just

430
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: stopped to hear a single word he was saying. But

431
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: they somehow saw a threat. The paramedics didn't treat his

432
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: body like a humans body. They shot it full of

433
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: an unsafe amount of tranquilizers, which is, you know, the

434
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: medical industrial complex. We're realizing is I mean, a lot

435
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: of people aren't just realizing it, but it's becoming more

436
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: evident to mainstream culture that there is a huge institutional

437
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: racism problem in medicine. Yeah, why did they trankle I

438
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: don't understand that because he was already restrained correct the

439
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: same reason that you know, these wife looks do anything

440
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: that they do. The cruelty is the point. Also at

441
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: the time that they were I believe that department was

442
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: sperimenting with using knemine as a tranquilizer, which is so

443
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: bizarre to me that you think you can run experiments

444
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: on people that you found on the street. But I mean,

445
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: that's the history of black folks when it comes to medicine,

446
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, like we've always been experienced. Yeah to hell,

447
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: they're trying to deal with fucking COVID, Like, hey, black people, y'all. First, no, no,

448
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, Hirietta lacks steal our DNA use

449
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: it for fucking century. Like It's so it's just really disgusting,

450
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I don't know if there's any

451
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: humanity left in a lot of these white folks, and

452
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: it's so so disappointing to see that there's just because

453
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if we all are traumatized from slavery,

454
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: there has to be some kind of trauma as well

455
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: on the white side of like we you know, grew

456
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: up with cruel watching cruel figures put their foot on

457
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: the necks of other people, and that was normalized for

458
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: so long. I mean, people were having barbecues around hanging

459
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: black bodies, like so, you can't tell me that kind

460
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: of psychological trauma hasn't been passed down with these racist

461
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: white folks as well. And at this point, it's just

462
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: you see the videos, nobody cares Broda Taylor got murdered

463
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: in her home. No one has a good excuse for that.

464
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: Her colors are still running free, and black women rarely

465
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: get justice and it's so fucking disgusting. Um. But the

466
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: with the Elijah McClain thing, people staged a kind of

467
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: a beautiful protests, used to play the violin for UH

468
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: cats and animal shelter uh to help them sleep at night,

469
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: just because like literally the most gentle human being to

470
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: ever exist. And so people stage of protests where they're

471
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: playing violin in the park to honor his memory. And

472
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: these the police just rolling like stormtroopers, start grabbing, hitting

473
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: people while people are like, you know, playing violin, saying

474
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: no no. And now we learned in the past few

475
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: days that three officers have been suspended from that same

476
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: police force because they were re enacting the chokehold on

477
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: the memorial people had set up where Elijah McClain was

478
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: murdered by the police, and I don't know. We have

479
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: a new show on our network with Barton day Thurston

480
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: called We're Having a Moment where he talks to an

481
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: activist and photographer who was at the early protests in

482
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: Minneapolis and talking about the protest functioning as sort of

483
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: memorials for you know, the hundreds of black men and

484
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: women and children who are needlessly murdered by the police,

485
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: like Mike Brown's mother and Eric Garner's one of his

486
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: parents are at the protests, and uh, you know, I've

487
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: seen people kind of like a small movement starting to

488
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: kind of turn a lot of these protests into a

489
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 1: memorial for Elijah McClain. And I think that's I don't know,

490
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: I think that needs to like, I think that's a

491
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: good strategy, because there's just no way to look at

492
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: this story without realizing, you know what we're talking about,

493
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: what just how how stark it is, like how like

494
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: that is just as cartoon tunishly evil, as like Bull Connor,

495
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: as like the ship that we were seeing in the

496
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: sixties that I think a lot of white people had

497
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: convinced themselves doesn't exist anymore. Um, I'm just hoping that

498
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: like something can come out of that story because it's

499
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: it's just fucking unbelievable. Yeah, there are no words. There

500
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: were really no words right now for me. Um that

501
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: there's no defense. No. Yeah, it seems like the only

502
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: instances where we're seeing any kind of justice have been

503
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: when things were on fire and the peaceful protest. Uh,

504
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, news isn't covering them anymore because the cops

505
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: are no longer, for the most part, out there inciting violence,

506
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: which obviously that's why this Elijah story brought that back

507
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: into the mainstream is because they showed up like goddamn

508
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: stormtroopers when folks were just playing violins in the park

509
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: and me and sad um not a terrible move, I

510
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: think too. Just oh yeah, NonStop. They just can't help themselves.

511
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: It's like my friend mom and du has a joke

512
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: about that where he was like, we're like, please, guys,

513
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: no more police brutality, and they were like, oh, you

514
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: you don't want police brutalities, will smoke a whole pack

515
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: of police brutalities like like like we were like, please stop,

516
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh, we we could actually do

517
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: more like no, that's what. Yeah, I think my thing

518
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: is like. But the white liberal thing to me was

519
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: very clear when I moved to Seattle, Washington from the South,

520
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: was that I thought I was going to this this

521
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: fucking liberal oasis where I could really do some cool stuff.

522
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: And what I found out when I got there is

523
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: that yes, they are liberalists. Hell, if you have two

524
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars, if you if you, if

525
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: you have that anti n you can be in this

526
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: liberal oasis where they don't care what you look like,

527
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: what you who, you fuck, where you come from, anything,

528
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: as long as you can play this game that they're playing.

529
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: But that's the way they see it. They do not

530
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: understand poor people, and they don't know how to make them.

531
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean they don't understand black people either, that's what

532
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: And they just see black people as poor people. That's

533
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: the thing. That's the thing. In Seattle. They kept calling

534
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: the black neighborhood the ghetto when I moved there, and

535
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: I was like, there is no ghetto in Seattle. That's

536
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: where black people live. That's a nice neighborhood, you pieces

537
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: of ship. Oh yeah, And I've had so many well meaning,

538
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, liberal white folks try to talk to me

539
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: about childhood and they'll be like, yeah, well, you know

540
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: you're hid and y'all doing the desert and you know

541
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: you get you getting quart of waters. And I was like,

542
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up poor, like no shade, no shade,

543
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: But how you just go assume because I'm black, They're like,

544
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: don't know how it is when you scratching and surviving?

545
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: Are you quoting Good Times to me, sir? But they

546
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: have the same racist issues. It's just they're more micro

547
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: and not micro because they're still harmful, but it's like

548
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: little ship that they're doing every day and fucking ruining

549
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: your psyche, you know what I mean. You get a job,

550
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, it's good for you because you know,

551
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: white white comedians out here with white men, we didn't

552
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: getting no jobs. And it's like, no, the room is

553
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: there's there's nine other white men and then there's me,

554
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: like you know, like and that's the kind of thing

555
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: you get on the left. So it's like we've been

556
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: just fucked all around. Oh it's your point of like

557
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: how do we rally up? You know, everyone who's being

558
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: marginalized by society. It's just I don't know, I'm still

559
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: I would love to do it, but it just seems

560
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: like the cruelty one is the point for a lot

561
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: of these people, and to like people would just rather

562
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: have someone to look down on than be able to

563
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: be successful with. Yes, I agree. I think that's the

564
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: problem is that they need to feel better than someone.

565
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: And they're also not terribly educated people. So if they

566
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: can look at one group of people that looks different

567
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: and has less than them, there they can be like, well,

568
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm not them where they don't understand, like yo, other

569
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: poor people aren't holding you back. That's not how that works, right,

570
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: That's the fundamental thing. I think it's an education thing,

571
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: and I just keep preaching like, fundamentally, if we take

572
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: care of all poor people, the whole system, it's okay,

573
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: look at it as a plant or a house. If

574
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: your foundation is fucked, the whole thing is fucked. If

575
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: the roots are fucked, the whole thing is fucked. There

576
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: might be a one really cool part of it, but

577
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing is gonna come down. And then I

578
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: think a lot of it also goes back to white

579
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: liberals and how they have treated um that rural, marginalized

580
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: white community as well with just complete disdain and you know,

581
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: dehumanizing or treating them as stupid and not engaging with

582
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: it and with them as as human beings. That has

583
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: allowed that community to then be prey to forces like

584
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Fox News and the Donald Trump's. Like

585
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: I do think a lot of it goes back to,

586
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: like a lot of the ship that they claim about

587
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: white liberals in the mainstream media is absolutely true. Um.

588
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: And you know that's that a owls the sort of

589
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: dividing of of uh, you know, communities who don't who

590
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: are being marginalized. Uh. And it's well, and it speaks

591
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: to a problem the left has. I think the biggest

592
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: problem the left has is there is a communication issue

593
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: between the classes. On the left absolutely is that the

594
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: upper class is constantly policing the lower class about language

595
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: and how they speak and their jokes and things like that,

596
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: where they don't understand that you don't understand blue collar

597
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: people communicate different mm hmm. Like me having a job

598
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: in corporate America was totally different than me being a

599
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: server or in the back of the house at a restaurant,

600
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: and I made more money being a server. Right, Yeah,

601
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: it's it's that's an issue you that the left needs

602
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: to talk about two. Now, the right we need to

603
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: accept that they don't give a fuck about being hypocrites.

604
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: They think that's funny when we called them that. They

605
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: don't give a ship. They just want a response to

606
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: whatever we have to say it. That's all it is

607
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: most of them at this point, most Trumpers. If we're

608
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: being honest, there's about thirty percent of our country that

609
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: are pure assholes. Doesn't matter color, creed, sex, gender. We

610
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: just got thirty motherfucker's and all they want is a

611
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 1: response to make you mad. That's their whole life. We've

612
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: got to stop arguing with them. There, that's all they want.

613
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: It's an abusive relationship. It's like the cops where we're

614
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: like hey, like peacefully, we're like, hey, you guys are

615
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: being your little much and their responses that we're a

616
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: little much, Fuck you. I'll show kind of what we're

617
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: talking about much. That's yeah, but you're right, it's not.

618
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: It's not enough for some people. They're like it doesn't

619
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: matter how many George Floyd's or Brianna Taylors there are,

620
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: Like they're never because like they want the cops to

621
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: keep other you know, they want the cops to keep

622
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: everybody with the brown people down, um, because that's the

623
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: whole point, is it for them to protect property and

624
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: to keep the white areas white. And they're doing a

625
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: great job at that, you know what I mean. They're

626
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: not policing their own neighborhoods. They're they're not. No, that's

627
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: another huge problem. You need to live in that community. Yeah,

628
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: No one went to shoot Andy Griffith because he lived

629
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: in that community and he kept that community cool and

630
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: he didn't have to wear a gun. Barney, we need

631
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: less Barney's up there. That's what we need. Mm hmm.

632
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's take another quick break and we'll be

633
00:36:48,560 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: right back and we're back. What is something from your

634
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 1: search history that is revealing about who you walk? Oh?

635
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: This was fun. So it was actually a Google image

636
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: search and I it was of basically the President of

637
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: the United States. I just wanted to remind myself that

638
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: it's like all white men. It's like a really striking image.

639
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: It's and it's kind of creepy. It's just like it

640
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: looks cold, like because like of America is like non white,

641
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: so like to have like forty four white men over

642
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: the course of like what two and forty four years,

643
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: it's like creepy. So I just it's a striking image.

644
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: I wanted to see it. Well, there's some diversity of

645
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: facial hair there. You know, a couple of chin strap

646
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: beards and mustaches, so a lot of diversity in the

647
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: in the white male demographic. Some of the guys weren't

648
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: completely gray when they entered office, so that was some

649
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: some diversity there. It's like the Bill Simmons diversity of

650
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: his His writer's room is diverse and its thoughts diverse

651
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: and thought. Um, I don't think we have had a

652
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: blonde president. That's a great question, like a Robert Redford

653
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: or right, is Trump technically blonde or is he what

654
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 1: I think he is blonde? I think he's like strawberry blonde.

655
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is why we shouldn't have blonde president. Exactly.

656
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: We we elected like eighties movies. We're right, blonde guys

657
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: are all like evil villains, and we elected one and

658
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: look at it. Look at him the reason why, Like

659
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, every time Satan is like personified as a

660
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: human or born as a human, he has like blonde

661
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: hair and blue eyes. Yeah, I'm gonna Google Google, like

662
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: the president of the U. S. And like, look at

663
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: a colored picture of it. It's like super creepy. Yeah,

664
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: it's wild. It looks like a bunch of cloned photographs.

665
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: Have you seen the the artist too? I don't know

666
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: why this made me think of that, but the artists

667
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: who paints herself having sex with all the different presidents? No,

668
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: I have never heard of this woman. What the hell? Yeah,

669
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty great. Uh? Is she doing different positions with

670
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: the president's? Yeah? She is. Who's the who's the giver?

00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: And who's a who's a taker? That's I want to

00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine Obama's would be good. Yeah, yeah, except

674
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of like the older ones,

00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: like not Obama. I don't want to see taft fucking terrible. Yeah,

00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: how Lacey's got it right now, Just like I think

703
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: one of the many TV shows I was in, as

704
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: we do on this show, we wanted to check in

705
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: with a meme that was circulating uh days ago, so

706
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: days after it's relevant, uh second rate energy of our

707
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: second rate podcast. But I did just kind of start

708
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: thinking about it last night. And also, you know, the

709
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: preponderance of evidence from these memes, I now have some

710
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: different snacks that I'm interested in trying. Uh So, I

711
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know, perform the service for for the audience.

712
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: It is a service and you're welcome. Uh So, I

713
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,479
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about the gas station meal meme. What

714
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 1: is your gas station meal? What is the food that

715
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: you will put together if and only if you're in

716
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: a gas station? Like, what are some things that you

717
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: only buy there? Um? I can start off, please please

718
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: start the start the conversation. So gas station is really

719
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: the only place these days that I ever drank full

720
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: of sugar mountain dew, um mountain do zero. These days

721
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: are a diet mountain dew. In my personal life, often

722
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: I will indulge in a code of some color when

723
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: I am at a gas station. Could you give an

724
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: example of a code color? Red is one of them? Yeah,

725
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 1: classic I think there was a blue at some point.

726
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: I think those of ritals might have more caffeine and

727
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: sugar in them. I know that Baja blast does. Uh. Anyways,

728
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: so Mountain dew is a strictly gas indulgence at this point,

729
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: and I will I will sometimes get those like big

730
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: old the big old ones, the tall boys, the wide

731
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: mouth tall boys. And then so I realized I only

732
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: get peanuts in those like tall thin bags. Uh. In

733
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: chat stations when I'm looking for a healthy, healthy snack,

734
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: do you get the spicy ones? I like the spicy too.

735
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: I like the hunting roasted, so not feeling too healthy,

736
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: but just more healthy than flame and hot cheetos, which

737
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: is what I get when I'm I'm not feeling healthy,

738
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: and I only get those gas stations. And then finally

739
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: a big cup Rece's with the Reese pieces inside. Um,

740
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: those are my gas station picks. And then any icy

741
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: or slushy or slurpy varietal love them good use of

742
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: the word varrietle love to use varietal. When this meme

743
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: was coming around. This for me, okay, this for me

744
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: is like, uh, you know, and someone like it's like

745
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: when your friend gets into your thing and then all

746
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're talking about your thing and you're like, wait,

747
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: hold on, this was my thing there. That's how I

748
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: felt about the gas station meme because I've like, I

749
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: eat almost exclusively at the gas station. I know every

00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: a chip and a sip or and sometimes if I'm feeling,

759
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, out of control, I'll have a hot dog. Okay.

760
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: There are so many good options at the gas station.

761
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm a seven eleven person currently, but have been other

762
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, I used to be a Cumberland Farms back

763
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: in the day. Like there's there's places you can go

764
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: am to PM a lot of options. What you can

765
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: get that is good at seven eleven is their salads.

766
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: Salads are expensive, especially in Los Angeles, Salads are very expensive,

767
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: and so you you find yourself saying I wish I

768
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: could get a salad for five dollars. Where would a

769
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: salad for five dollars be seven eleven? The ingredients are

770
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: pretty much fresh. There is more other things than let

771
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: us in it. But it's good and it's never made

772
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: me sick. That's important. Gas station sushi. Never gotten sick,

773
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: but never enjoyed it necessarily. There's there's so many options

774
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: you can eat vegan at a seven eleven. I don't

775
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: think we're legally allowed to recommend seven eleven sushi, like

776
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: I think our legal department would have to have an

777
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: objection to that, because we might. I'm gonna get I

778
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: get called out every time, but it's not like it.

779
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't eat it anymore. I've moved onto

780
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: the salads. But that you know that you can get

781
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 1: a healthy option and a diet Dr. Pepper and then

782
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: get out of there. Well, you can have the sushi

783
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't have sushi, which is what I do. Sometimes

784
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: it'll be like the rice and then it'll have avocado

785
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: and cucumber. So you're not getting with all the different

786
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: types of fish. No, you're just car bloating like crazy.

787
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: But so diet Dr pepper and salad and sushire are

788
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: your picks? DDP salad? Uh if you're if you're like,

789
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 1: if you're needing a little extra something, I would throw

790
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 1: in some maybe a chip, maybe a chip or maybe

791
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: one of their Um what McCall it. They're weird, like

792
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: people get a little nervous around the rollers. But I

793
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: say give it a shot and see, you know, and

794
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: then take a COVID test a couple of days. They

795
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: should be sold together as like an extra value meal.

796
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Um, all right, Danny, what is your gas

797
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: station meal? Well, I'm gonna one up you, Jack because

798
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: I get the healthy Mountain Dew which is kick Start.

799
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: It's the one that has vitamins in it. Would I

800
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: would have picked that if I didn't buy them by

801
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: bulk at Ralph's. So I can't say that's an exclusively

802
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: gas station thing. I Um, there's some fancy gas stations

803
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: in West Hollywood that only I would be down there

804
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: if I had to take a meeting, um and was

805
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: forced to go down there. But um, the baked peas

806
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: which are healthy, do you know what I'm talking about?

807
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: The ones that you're supposed to put on your salad.

808
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 1: But I never do that. I just eat the entire bag.

809
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: Your fingers get all like Jimmy didn't know what I'm

810
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: talking about. I think, so yeah they have like yeah

811
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: that the sea salt ones um. I also only at

812
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: gas stations get Fiji water because I want to feel rich.

813
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: That is, that's like going to the haircuttery and Beverly Hills.

814
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: You're like, it's like, like it is technically a really

815
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: fancy thing to do. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure it's

816
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: just the same as all the other water in there,

817
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: but for some reason, and at gas stations, I specifically

818
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: get Fiji water and I leave feeling good about myself,

819
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: like I don't know, just treat yourself once in a

820
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: while to a rich person thing, you know. And how

821
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: much are they? They're like the tiny little bottles are like,

822
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: I think six dollars. There's something so six dollars and

823
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: you can feel rich as hell. Are they're really six dollars?

824
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: Are they there? Like five to six dollars? Right? The

825
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: the big ones get pretty expensive. I'll occasionally flex and

826
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: get like one of those tiny little chameleon coffee cans.

827
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: If I'm feeling like a millionaire, I'll just like strut in. Yeah,

828
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. There is something very strange about any

829
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: time I at the seven eleven and like everything is

830
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: wrong up and it costs over ten dollars. You're like,

831
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: something's wrong, something's gone wrong. It didn't happen though it's

832
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: happened to me. To cashier look at each other like

833
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: with disbelief. Wait what it happens a few times a

834
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: day that you're not buying a carton of cigarette, right

835
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: unless you're getting like white claw or like cigarettes. That's

836
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: that's how you crack the two. Honestly, nuts are very expensive,

837
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 1: like the caramel roasted almonds or something. I mean mine

838
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: is just like yeah, um and I would say dried mango,

839
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure it's like dipped in sulfuric acid,

840
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 1: like you know, to keep it good. Like never look

841
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: at the back of those dried fruit things. But I'll

842
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: sometimes dip into like a rock Star, a diet rock Star,

843
00:49:55,320 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: the like textured white cano abounds droop waffles. They sell

844
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: like packs of two staff waffle. Also rock Star rock

845
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: Star has a healthy I think healthy in quotes healthy.

846
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: But if you want to treat yourself, get yourself some

847
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: red vines bite off the top, put it into your

848
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: rock star and that's your funky silly straw. So and

849
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: it's saving the environment. So I used to love to

850
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: do that when I was like trying to look floor,

851
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: you know what, like having a candy straw and then

852
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: being like hi, Like that does that resonate with anybody?

853
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: It's gonna make your road trip to see your stepdad

854
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: that you hate, like that much better. All Right, that's
