Uh, you know, broccoli, steaming 18 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: the broccoli, putting like a three three centimeters of water 19 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: in the big gas pot and throwing the broccoli in there. 20 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: I like my broccoli soft, which means not nutritious. Yeah. Oh, 21 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: you're just cooking all the nutrients out of it. With 22 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: cooking all the nutrients ode of the damage. Because that's 23 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: like the first broccoli I was able to stomach was 24 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: over a microwave frozen broccoli. Uh. And sometimes I love 25 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: just mushy. I like broccoli. I like cheddar cheese with 26 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: little pieces of broccoli in it. That's the type of 27 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: broccoli that I prefer more in the cheese. Yeah, you're 28 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: in the cheese like broccoli cheese soup when they make that, Yeah, exactly, 29 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: I'll always be down up for a bullet broccoli cheese soup. 30 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: For some reason, it's probably the worst decision you can make. 31 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: But there are times when I see it on a 32 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: menu and I'm like, I'm gonna try it, and I 33 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: gotta get into broccoli cheese soup. Brocoli cheese soup is 34 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: something that I've never It's something about eating cheese with 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: a spoon that has never quite mesh for me. And 36 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: I love nacho's, I love, I love cheese sauce. But 37 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: for some reason, when it's like eating it with a spoon, 38 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: it's like give me a chip. Yeah, No, that's called dignity. 39 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: That's the thing that is preventing you from wanting to 40 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: eat melted cheese with the sea because usually when I 41 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: order it at Subway, they always say, oh, you're serious, 42 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: you know, from us, from us, from this one behind me.

Um. I definitely 53 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: had some Culver's was good. That was in Milwaukee. I 54 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: enjoyed that. Um Detroit, Detroit. I still I still got 55 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: a bone to pick with Detroit because I went and 56 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: I put cheese on my coney dog. Because I didn't 57 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: grow up. The only conies I had growing up was 58 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: Sonic and it's a chili cheese county. So and also 59 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: I like, when I eat something with chili, I want 60 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: cheese with it. This is the cheese cheese cast. And 61 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: and when I like, I put cheese on it, and 62 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: the audience like started to boo me when I said that. 63 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, hey man, all of y'all could kiss my 64 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: cheesy at wait, so like you because you mentioned that 65 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: you so it's a it's a violation to put on 66 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: when I've had like Coney's, like Cincinnati style chili, like 67 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: Skyline or gold Star cheese is on there, and it 68 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: didn't seem like a transgression. But I guess it's all 69 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: it's all regional, regional. That's it's probably them trying to 70 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: separate themselves from that. But you know, like how in 71 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: Chicago they get mad at you if you put ketchup 72 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: on you. And I'm gonna put I'm going to the 73 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: South Side and telling everybody I ain't starting from into 74 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: l a Alex. Finally, what's a myth? Man? What's what's 75 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,559 Speaker 1: something people just you know, just drop some truth on people. 76 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: Open their minds right now? What's a myth? I think? 77 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: And this is what I want to like yell at 78 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: everyone I see. It's like like I think there's a 79 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: myth that we are past the beginning of coronavirus stuff, 80 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: like like the people are like, we did the beginning, okay, 81 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: and now we can start to go back out, like 82 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: the very early part happened, and like people like we 83 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: went to this protest on Saturday, and then as we 84 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: were like leaving to home, there were like the let's 85 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: hit the bars crowds showing up with no masks. It 86 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: was pretty upsetting. I really didn't like it as a 87 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: social practice, Like like I think there's kind of three stages, 88 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: Like there's the beginning where cases are going up and 89 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,119 Speaker 1: we don't have good systems, and then there's the middle 90 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: where cases are backed down and we have good systems, 91 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: and then there's like a later date when we'll have 92 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: a care vaccine or something, and we're in the beginning still, 93 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: Like people need to really be careful, they need to 94 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: stay home if they can, and I think people also 95 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: to like there. I was reading a few threads from 96 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: medical professionalism write ups and things just about like the 97 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: idea of what it means to recover from COVID nineteen, 98 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: and there are so many Yes, there is the version 99 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: where it's just a flu there are people also getting 100 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: lung transplants and all these other severe, severe medical issues. 101 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: So once I you know, like early on when I 102 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: was reading about like when people are like they don't 103 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: tell you what it's like when you even have to 104 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: be on a ventilator, like what that means for you? 105 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: After um, when I was like, yes, it was easier 106 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: to feel strong when it was like it could be 107 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: a flu. But when you sort of look at what 108 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: the risks are, it's it's really frightening. It's also so 109 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: discouraging to see people like truly like give up on 110 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: social distancing ostensibly out of boredom. Like it just sounds 111 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: like even even people that were still like very on 112 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: board and very like, no, we have to stick to 113 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: this even a month ago, are now just like I 114 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: think we're done. Like it just it's because it's not 115 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: like dominant in the conversation. People are just like, Okay, 116 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: so this is fine. It's like no, it's not fine. 117 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: Thin opening opening reopening has you know, eliminated. It has 118 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: brought FOMO back because before it was easy to be 119 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: like I'm not going out and ship open. Who gives 120 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: a funk, I'm inside. We have to do this. But 121 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: the second you start hearing wait, you start seeing people 122 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: partying over here or going out to eat over there, 123 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: some people who I guess are purely just driven by 124 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: like this need to socialize or be out or can 125 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: zume or be served or whatever, Like all that stuff 126 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,119 Speaker 1: just goes straight out the window. Um, And I wonder 127 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: how much it also shows like in l A too right, 128 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: because I can only speak for what I see in 129 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: this city and state. But our cases are not going 130 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: down and we're up still Yea, All that to me 131 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: are going significantly still. It's like we're reopening. And I 132 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: feel like every person this just shows how I don't 133 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: know blindly, I don't know. Now. This is what I'm 134 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: trying to figure out, and I posit this to this 135 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: crew here of is it a mixture of people just 136 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: blindly believing that the state knows what's best and that's 137 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: why they're going out because they're like, well, why would 138 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: they why would they open stuff if we couldn't go out? 139 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: Or is it I'm trying to figure out what's motivating 140 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: these people, because I'm sure there is a group of 141 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: people who are just like, well, why would they open 142 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: if it wasn't safe, but right, I think I think 143 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: exactly what you said, Miles, And then I think it's 144 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: also and I think it's especially Americans. We just have 145 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: this mentality that like problems don't last, Like you hear 146 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: about a problem and then if you kind of stop 147 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: hearing about the problem, it's probably over and so it's 148 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: fine even though like a problem can just keep going, 149 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, or like like I I'm not a doctor, 150 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a scientist, but like there was news I 151 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: read when this started and it said X things were 152 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: happening with cases, and I was like, time to stay home. 153 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: And then I read the news now and it's like 154 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: the same stories. I think I should keep staying home. 155 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: Like that's all I know. I'm just a guy who 156 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: has Twitter, but that's what I see. Some of it 157 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: does feel like social media brain of just like if 158 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: people aren't seeing it in their feeds constantly, they're just like, oh, 159 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: I guess I guess that's done, which is applies to 160 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: many situations right now. Um, but it's also I don't know, 161 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: some of it is just it seems like just straight 162 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: up willful arrogance, where it like I had a family 163 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: friend back in Massachusetts still like throw her daughter a 164 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: graduation party, and her reasoning was that, like, well, we 165 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: understand social distancing at this point, like we we like 166 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: the vibe was very like we get it, it'll be safe, 167 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: and it's like if you're bringing people into your home, 168 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: it's not safe, like and there were old people. There's 169 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: just yeah, I think the assumption of like, Okay, I 170 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: know how to socially distance and feeling like you you know, 171 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: no one knows how to deal with this correctly. So 172 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: so going in with that mentality, it's just like bound 173 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: to be a disaster. Feel well, and even to your point, Alex, like, 174 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: America has this habit of entering a period of a 175 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: self examination or awareness around something, and there's definitely a 176 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: threshold for pain that you know, the collective consciousness of 177 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: America is willing to sort of endure. And once that 178 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: we get past that, it's like, Okay, do we really 179 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: have to keep talking about this anymore? Because I think 180 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: for coronavirus, it was, you know, people just sort of 181 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: got to the point where now they're discomfort around having 182 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: to deal with the truth is just too much and 183 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: it's just a rejection of reality. It seems like and 184 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: I think just even to what you're saying about ignoring 185 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: problems that persist, whether that's systemic racism, homophobia, transphobia, you know, 186 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: genocide of indigenous people, whatever it is, people are willing 187 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: to look at it to a point, and then when 188 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: it becomes too uncomfortable, like okay, can we really just 189 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: please stop? Can we stop? Actually, like I get it, 190 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: I get it, just to your point, even to Jamie 191 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: about this person's saying, so, yeah, we get it, we 192 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: get it. It's not like no, no, it's not that 193 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: we just the point was you for you to agree 194 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: that social distancing is needed, and there's go a step 195 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: further and understand what the risks are to you and 196 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: other people, much in the same way with people coming 197 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: having this you know, aha moment with racism in the country. 198 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: Go a step further now and understand what that is experientially, 199 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: not just sort of like right, I get it, I 200 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: get it. Right, these things aren't happening for you to 201 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: have you get it like, it's that that's not how 202 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: events work, that's not how the world works, and it 203 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: just yeah, yeah, and I think, but I guess, and 204 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: even I guess to go deeper when you look at 205 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: even how we're educated, right, we're even in our own history, 206 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: we're shown like this thing of like then there was 207 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: this problem and that went away, and then there was 208 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: this thing and then that went away, and then there 209 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: was Hitler, and then Nazis went away, and then there 210 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: was this and it's too. It completely robs people of 211 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: the ability to to pass through the nuances of you know, 212 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: how any given event unfolds and then how that that 213 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: event echoes into eternity if there isn't a reckoning with it. Yeah, 214 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: and I think a tendency. I've been trying to like 215 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: reflect on this more recently of just like how it's 216 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: very it seems very common in the way we're taught history. 217 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: Especially it's like there was a gigantic systemic problem and 218 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 1: it was solved by one or two people and then 219 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: the problem hasn't existed since where Like I been because 220 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: my mom's a second grade teacher, and I've been talking 221 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: to her about like, well, what do you teach your kids, 222 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: and like, you know what broad lies are still being 223 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: taught to kids, and it's still like in a lot 224 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: of schools, it's basically taught that like like Martin Luther 225 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: King solved racism basically single handedly, and now you know, 226 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: great and now it's gone, and real text book should 227 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: say Martin Luther King was assassinated when he began to 228 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: connect the dots for people between capitalism and oppression. Talking 229 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: the books did not reflect that. That would be off, 230 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: burn your eyebrows off level of truth coming out of 231 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: that textbook. But that's but even then it's like not 232 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: even hot because that's just the grim reality of it. 233 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: But we like, well, I don't say that. It's like 234 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: we don't say what the truth because it's so dark. 235 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Imagine teaching capitalism as a concept at all as a 236 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: part of history, like never came up in a class 237 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: that I took in high school. Well, but that's what 238 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: the schools are. We're also taught, like through this process 239 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: of academia to become workers. Also, like that's the that's 240 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: our training first, and then we enter the workforce where 241 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: we've been fully indoctrinated and inoculated and know how to 242 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, you do this and then you get that, 243 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: and that's how it works. I do this, I do 244 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: my homework, I get a grade. I do my work, 245 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: I get a paycheck. It's all man there's a lot, 246 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: and then I stopped up. And then I prop up 247 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: the system by telling people to depend on the man 248 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: for bread when themselves I'm a stooge. Guys don't listen 249 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: to me for Alex. Yeah, we all watched at least 250 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: some of Three and sixty five Days, which is the 251 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: number one movie on Netflix. Real quick before we get 252 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: to that, did you guys watch the Chappelle special that dropped? 253 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: I think last week. I saw the first fifteen minutes 254 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: of it. Mm hmm. I watched it and it was 255 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: it was great. I watched it last night. I've never 256 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: seen him that passionate. I've never seen him that like man. 257 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: He's just I wanted to include him and my Underrated 258 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: because I feel like there's still a contingency of people 259 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: who don't consider him the goat. And I know goat 260 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: conversations are redundant and comedy is subjective, and but that 261 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: guy is is at least of like of the past 262 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: thirty years. I'll give I'll give him the crown if 263 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: you want to give Eddie the crown. Raw came out 264 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: like that's thirty three years. I'm I'm rocking with with 265 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: with Chappelle over the like the go of the past 266 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: thirty three years, and that's with Chris and other people. 267 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: And I'm and I'm I'm giving him my crown of all. 268 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: Like I think he's the best one, I think with 269 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: evolution because I am a big believer in evolution and 270 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: George Soros and I uh, I'm you know, Lebron's my guy. 271 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: Lebron's my goat. And at that moment when he was 272 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: giving Lebron his road man, I was in. I was 273 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: in this couch. I was on the couch crying, crying 274 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: and jacking off the same time. There's there's something about 275 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, you know, like he has you know, a 276 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: lot of people choose to focus on things that he 277 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: says that are controversial, but there's a lot, like he 278 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: says in his special, it's like he's been speaking about 279 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: this for a long time. And I think the beauty 280 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: of his work is that it's almost like his shows 281 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: and stuff had just laid the groundwork for people to 282 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: wake up because people are familiar with the humor of 283 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: like the sort of nihilistic attitudes black people have in 284 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: terms of existing in this country, or the nihilism we 285 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: feel about racism, and when that ends that it's always 286 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: become a way to just make jokes that make some 287 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: people uncomfortable other people really laugh. Um. And then to 288 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: watch him sort of really, he's just becoming such a 289 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: like a I don't know, the the way he was 290 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: talking about everything, uh, that was just going beyond his 291 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: ability to be a comedian. I think it was just impressive. 292 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: I think seeing a lot of people evolving that way, 293 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting. Right now. He's just such a 294 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: smart dude man, like, like I wish I had the 295 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: brain capacity that he does. Over the quarantine, I used 296 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: him as an example as I watched his uh uh 297 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: Kennedy Center Honors what was that? What that was? Or 298 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: like and just talking about how much he reads and 299 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I was like, you know, I'm 300 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: gonna start reading. I'm gonna start reading some of these 301 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: books that he talks about and stuff like that, and 302 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: I'm still dumb as hell. And it was just like, 303 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: but he's such a smart dude. And the way, like 304 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: the way he does stand up comedy, I feel like 305 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: the way it is supposed to be where you take 306 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: something and you have a take on it that makes 307 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: everybody think and like, he's just hands down man, He's 308 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: he's the go. He's the living, the living legend man 309 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: him going on. I ran about Lebron like I was 310 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: just like, oh my gosh, this is my world's colliding. 311 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: You get it tatted now that se logo? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 312 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: he gets I always talk about that though the fact 313 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: that Lebron at sevent team was on the cover of SI. 314 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: The fact that I always bring up is that he 315 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: Nike and Adidas had billboards in his hometown that were 316 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: aimed only at him. They were trying to recruit him, 317 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: Like imagine having advertisements where like like growing up in 318 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: The Truman Show, except bigger, because like everybody is openly 319 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: like creating the world around your your reality.

And then people 322 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: like hated on him for so long they still do, Yeah, 323 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: they do. It took him to come to the Lakers 324 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: for me to fully open up, which I still can't stand. Y'all, dog, 325 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: I cannot. We're spoiled, We're spoiled, shitty people. I'm sorry, 326 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: that's what Laker fans are. We're spoiled, shitty, shitty people. 327 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: But it's not like I didn't. I didn't. I didn't 328 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: dislike him. I was just more like I was like, 329 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 1: this man is the best player in the league. But 330 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: there just wasn't I something didn't resonate with me aside 331 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: from objectively being able to be like, this guy's just 332 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: phenomenal basketball players, like no way to doubt that. I 333 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: was never in doubt about that. It was just, you know, 334 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: it's just your own bullshit as a fan where you're like, no, 335 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: like the greats are like, you know, I'm a nineties kid. 336 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: So for a long for a long time, I held 337 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: on to Jordan's uh. And it took me a while 338 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: where I was like, man, fun Kobe, and as even 339 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: as a Laker fan, I was just more loyal to 340 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: Jordan's even though I didn't like Kobe when he first 341 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: started because he didn't pass the ball and I was like, 342 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: you're sucking our whole team up. Get to learn something, uh, 343 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: And then he he ended up doing his thing. But 344 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I think it's just a weird thing too, 345 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: or sometimes you're so blinded by this like one dimensional 346 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: ship that like, I can't you know, and I felt 347 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: bad that. I was, like it took that for me 348 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: to say, like I really really like, I really funk 349 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: with Lebron James just being ambivalent. That's one thing about 350 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: him that I really I figured out that's he wants 351 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: that he needs that he needs to be liked by everybody. 352 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: And he came to the fan base that hated him 353 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: the most, which pissed me off royally because I was 354 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: happy to have him in l A. But I'm just like, Bro, 355 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: you could have carved out Imagine the legacy that you 356 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: could have had if you won a championship with the Clippers. 357 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: Like you're still in your city, You're still doing what 358 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: you want to do. What are you chasing? What do you? 359 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: Why are you Why did you have to come to 360 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: the Lakes? Like what what legacy are you chasing? Coming 361 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: to the Lakers? And like, oh, it's the name, Mr 362 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: oh Man, forget all that, Like and this is this 363 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: is dumb, but like you know, listen, Jack wants to 364 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: move on. He's looking at me like, wrap it up, 365 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: wrap it up, Chappelle show not But seriously, I was like, imagine, 366 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: imagine Lebron coming to the Los Angeles Clippers and winning 367 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: us A championship. And I'm not I'm saying that biasedly 368 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: as a Clipper fan, but also as just NBA fan, 369 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: it will be extremely impressive. He will that like he 370 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: like would would have won two champion two like lowly 371 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: franchises a championship, winning Cleveland one and winning the Clippers one. 372 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: And he had to come to the Lakers like, are 373 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: you trying to one up Kobe? Are you trying to 374 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: be be called magic? Two points? You're You're always going 375 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: to be in a shadow doing that. You're always going 376 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: to be in a shadow. And I think that's why Initially, 377 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,239 Speaker 1: like for Laker fans, it's like, what do you like this? 378 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: This teams for people who are like gonna be down 379 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: for a few years, you know it, don't put me 380 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: away about watching him this this season. And then they 381 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, in the Quarantine, we're playing a bunch of 382 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: like classic games, and I was watching like his second 383 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: title with the Heat, He's like so much better now 384 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: than he was at what should have been his physical prime. 385 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: Just like all the ship he adds to his game 386 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: is is truly truly incredible, Like he's just literally a genius. Yeah, alright, 387 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. 388 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: And we're back. Bizarre. What is a myth? What do 389 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: you think people think is true that you know is 390 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: false or vice verse? Okay, this is my big WTF. 391 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: Why do people keep thinking that racism is supposed to 392 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: make sense? Right? Do you know what I mean? Like 393 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: when you tell somebody that something racists happen to you 394 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: and they're like, wait, that doesn't make sense, and you're like, 395 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: why is that supposed to make sense? Yeah? Thinking people 396 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: are unequal, you're superior than then because of their race 397 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: is already a flawed premise. So what right do you 398 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: understand that? If it makes sense to you, that makes 399 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: you racist? Right? It really is? Wait, so just because 400 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: you are Muslim they thought you were a terrorist? That 401 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. Yeah, that makes sense to me, right exactly. 402 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: And then you're like wait what, oh right? Yeah, oh 403 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: so they thought you're terrorists because you're a Muslim? Right? Yeah? 404 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: TV show that watched the TV show nine eleven. I 405 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: watched that. But then why did you go there? It's like, what, Yeah, 406 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: it's true, it really is. Like I think we don't 407 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: treat racism like we do like eating handfuls of your 408 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: own ship. So if you start a conversation off about 409 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: seeing somebody eating handfuls of their own ship, it's never 410 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: going to be like, well that doesn't make sense. You'd 411 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: be like, oh, man, people are still eating handfuls of 412 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: their own ship. Huh you think they'll fucking wake up 413 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: because it's not good. You know, it's not healthy. But okay, 414 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: I guess people, But yeah, it is like this thing 415 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: where I think, because racism has been the foundation and 416 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: you know, rationalization and for so much uh injustice, that 417 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: to like then say that's bad, It's like I think 418 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: that's what a lot of white people were experiencing too, 419 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: Just like, well, then, yeah, I guess these statues of 420 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: slavers should come down, right. I guess we're bad. We 421 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: keep telling you guys to forget about slavery, but then 422 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: we like literally do have slavery statues everywhere. That serves 423 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: as a reminder. And I think it's also wild too. 424 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: It's like there are people that are alive right now 425 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: who have interacted with people that were in bondage, you 426 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like grandparents whose great grandparents were 427 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: in bondage. Like it's not that far removed like there, 428 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: And I think that's what's very interesting, is suddenly like 429 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: history caught up with the present for many people at 430 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: the same time, on many levels. But yeah, it's true, 431 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: Like to your point, it's it's not supposed that that's 432 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: the point. It's racism is already a flawed ideology and 433 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: it's it's putred so there's no I don't need it 434 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: to make sense. It's interesting though, seeing Oh, a lot 435 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: of white folks who I guess could conveniently ignore racism 436 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: for so long, be stuck in the house and like, 437 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, Ted, all that's on TV is racism. 438 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: Every channel is racism. I guess it was real. Does 439 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: it make sense? That's what And I think that's the 440 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: other part that's really troubling for a lot of black 441 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: people in any oppressed group right now who's seeing this, 442 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: like people connecting the dots, because now it's like having 443 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: to relive it over to be like yeah, because that's 444 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: what's been fuck all right, So here's what here's the deal. 445 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: Since now you're listening again, like it's just it's it's 446 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: very it's it's a lot, but I don't know that's 447 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, is this is this the room? 448 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: Is this a point? Is this a turning point societally 449 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: for the beginnings of something, Not that this exact moment 450 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: everything will change on a dime, but we can point 451 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: to this year is being something the beginning of something new. 452 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: I think so because when the Civil Rights Act was passed, 453 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: it was literally on the heels of so many American 454 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: cities being on fire and so many protests. And now 455 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: we're in an age where these are the biggest protests 456 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: that we've had since the protests of the death of 457 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: Martin Luther King. And I think you are seeing people 458 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: open up well, and you're seeing a lot of marginalized 459 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: people feel comfortable speaking about things because it's like, oh, 460 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: you don't you want to defund the police? Okay, Also 461 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: look at the police that lives inside of you. That 462 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: is police me every single day at my damn job 463 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: and everywhere I go. And so it's like, now we're 464 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: forcing people to have their own reckoning with their own issues, 465 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like the Karen's that's 466 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: what we call them. But those are police. Those are 467 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: people who are agents of chaos and and of black 468 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: pain and oppression and of oppression of all different races 469 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: that aren't their own or or you know, marginalized people. 470 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: So it's like we're not just talking about defunding the 471 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: police that are state sanctioned. We're talking about you know, 472 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: you as a police, like you have to get rid 473 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: of the police inside of you, or this greater idea 474 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: of like whiteness, you know, And I think a lot 475 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: of people take it on to be something that if 476 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: you are not white, you don't you don't experience whiteness 477 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: or participate in it. But it's it's prevalent at every level. 478 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: Does you there's internalized white supremacy for black people, there's 479 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: internalized white supremacy, for Asian people, there's just straight up 480 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: white supremacy. And I think that's the thing is like 481 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: it's it's a moment for everybody to basically, you know, uh, 482 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: purge the whiteness that exists even in your own thinking. 483 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: How you would I really, I really challenge people to 484 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: think of, like, the next time you see someone on 485 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: the street and you think you are in danger or 486 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: you have you become suspicious, take a second to immediately 487 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: stop yourself and examine what exactly you're looking at now 488 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: If clearly if someone's like running at you with a knife, 489 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: that's one thing. But if you just see a group 490 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: of kids on the corner or someone out of like 491 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: whatever it is, take a second to just be like, whoa, 492 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: what was that? What was that? Because it's that's the 493 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: feeling that people act on without actually thinking through Why 494 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: am I thinking like this? Why? What is what? What 495 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: is coming up inside him? I will say that there's 496 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: this inherent guilt that a lot of quote unquote good 497 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: white people have that also gets in the way of 498 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: their education and they're learning, which is that like, well, 499 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm not a racist, so you know, these aren't things 500 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: that I necessarily need to work on. But what we're 501 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: trying to say is is that we all have internalized racism, 502 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: and there's a tiny evil white man who lives inside 503 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: of all of us simply because of how we were 504 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: indoctrinated into this country. Our whole education system is built 505 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: on lies that slavers and racist told us. Our money 506 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: has the face of rapists and slavers on it, you 507 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean, It's like, it's it's in all 508 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: of us. I remember grading papers for my cousin in 509 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: Brooklyn once and all of the names were like look 510 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: cromacyon and stuff that I couldn't pronounce. And I was like, 511 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: what all these ghetto ass names? And my cousin looked 512 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: at me and he said, everything's made up? So what 513 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: makes these names less important or less valuable than Sarah 514 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: and Thomas? And I was like, whoa who taught me that? 515 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, the little white man 516 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: inside of me taught me that. So it's like we 517 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: all have to deprogram what we've learned or even think 518 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: of where our own last names come from. Well I 519 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: come from, you know what I mean? Like that's people 520 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: didn't even last We have last names who are owned, 521 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like half of these names 522 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: are there because that's just the factory you worked at. 523 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: I think this is all part of this moment, you know. 524 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: And I think if they're going to take the time, 525 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: like you're saying, Lacey, to sort of look within themselves, 526 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: that's really the work that is going to have to 527 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: happen first, because if you just go, if you just 528 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: stop it like yeah, man, the police are while now, 529 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: and just end it there, it will continue. We need 530 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: more people out there who say no that is bad, 531 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: like and they're over policing. And I know why they're 532 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: over policing these communities because we've actually left them behind 533 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,959 Speaker 1: and a lack of material access has led to these conditions. 534 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: So if we don't do that, we should be talking 535 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: about crime. We need to be talking about how we're 536 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: leaving people behind. Yeah, I don't understand that person. That 537 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: person who sees this stuff and just goes wow, that's why, 538 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: and it just goes about their day. Like I think, 539 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: I think the thing is right to really acknowledge how 540 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: bad racism is. On a certain level, people will feel guilty, 541 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because that's just part of 542 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: connecting the dots. But I think the bottom line is 543 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: part of that process. It's the point is to not 544 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: feel guilty. The guilt is merely you actually just becoming 545 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: aware of, you know, your relation to whiteness, to how 546 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: that has benefited you and how that's actually been detrimental 547 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: to a lot of people. The real work is then 548 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: just saying Okay, the guilt is natural because you're actually 549 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: realizing how bad it is. Now that the real part 550 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 1: is then to actually say well, no, I need to 551 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm acting differently. That's not it's it's not We're not 552 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: asking for people to feel bad. We're not asking people 553 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: to cry on the timeline on behalf of black people. 554 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: We're asking people to pull up on behalf of black 555 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: people every day, like no matter, no more videos of 556 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: y'all being I take a white person have looked away 557 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: at so many negroes, like we don't want that. We 558 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: need you to actually take accountability in your real life, 559 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: not like get on a video in black and white 560 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: and stare at a camera and read off of a 561 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: cute card. And I just want to say one thing, 562 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: um specifically, just just to get people's minds working on 563 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: what we mean by systemic racism and racism and oppression 564 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: is that the thinking is the beginning. But the system 565 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: that is in place has work, is working how it 566 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: always was supposed to, which was suppressed and to enslave 567 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: people of color, and it's still working through our prison pipelines. 568 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: And just like something you may not even know, cities 569 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: that are being over policed, where they're jailing black and 570 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: brown people, a lot of those black and brown people 571 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: are going to prisons, who then contribute to the Republicans 572 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: agenda because they get to count those bodies those people 573 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: in prison as people in their population, so it's gerrymandering. 574 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: So then they get more influenced because the more people 575 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: they lock up who are brown and black, the more 576 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: influence they have in the country. That's crazy. So and 577 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: that's just one thing. That's the subjugation of black people 578 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: and brown people and indigenous people. That will always be 579 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: the resource that people use to extract wealth from you 580 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean. In that same way, that's just 581 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: moving black bodies around so you have a bigger piece 582 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: of the pie in terms of influence. It's everything is 583 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: about just these are not This is just other ways, 584 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: like what's in the same we were talking yesterday about 585 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: just criminalizing being poor because now you've created another industry 586 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: that just makes money off of cleaning up the failings 587 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: of capitalism. And it's like here we go, and capitalism 588 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: has never worked without free labor. And I think that 589 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: we all have learned that when we're sitting in our 590 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: freaking houses and can't go to work, you know, the 591 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: free labor or the labor where we pay people the 592 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,959 Speaker 1: bare minimum to survive is the only way that this 593 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: capitalist system has ever functioned. And it doesn't function. Do 594 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: you think like we have that opportunity that I mean, 595 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: like you're saying, we're not ready to have that conversation, 596 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: but it seems like a lot of people are willing 597 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: to at least acknowledge the pathology of white supremacy in 598 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: this country and the idea that black bodies are a 599 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: threat and disposable as part of this conversation, because that's 600 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: how police are viewing, uh, these any marginalized community, especially 601 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: black and brown people in this country. But you know, 602 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: it's still this thing where it's like, if we're talking 603 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: about the police, we're not actually talking about the greater issue, 604 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: because really it's it's this idea of how blackness is 605 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: viewed in this country, uh, and what the responsibility is 606 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: of white America in relation to that that. Like, you know, 607 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: I feel like everybody is trying to be like, yes, 608 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: we're almost there, were almost there, but let's really have this, 609 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: let's really take this conversation to the next step. Yeah. Um, 610 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: I think that is the biggest issue, right, The biggest 611 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: issue is not because you know, first of all, we 612 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: do need to reexamine this this notion that we're creating 613 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,239 Speaker 1: the warrior cop versus the guardian of the community. So 614 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: our system is designed to create that, right we you 615 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: you even look at this this amazing book that I 616 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: think everyone should read, um called Policing in the twenties 617 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: first Century by Dr Cedric Alexander, who's a former police chief, 618 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: and he serves on Obama's Commission on Policing, And what 619 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: he talks about is the way in which we've changed 620 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: in which how we are police. But even if you 621 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: look at the uniform form now versus the uniform thirty 622 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: or forty years ago, it's gone from a you know, 623 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: an actual police uniform to a military tactical uniform. And 624 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: that even in terms of the way we advertise for 625 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: people who want to join the police force, we're not showing, 626 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, the friendly officer getting a kitten out of 627 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: the tree. We're showing, like, you know, a militarized you know, 628 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: commercial of like do you want to hunt down the 629 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: back guy? Do you want to be this this warrior 630 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: us chasing and shooting people and and throwing grenades at people. 631 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: And so we're enticing that kind of sentiment. So when 632 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: you couple that with implicit bias and racism that is 633 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: in this country, the combination of the two of them, 634 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: as we have seen, is deadly. And the notion that 635 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: people have that racism is of some something of the 636 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: bygone past and that people don't think about that. You 637 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: should probably pay attention to the news and watch the 638 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: sentiment of people. But also we have to be realistic 639 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: about the timeline, right, So you're thinking about, you know, 640 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: nineteen nineteen sixty five were lynchings were still commonplace, and 641 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 1: there are pieces of that that we don't discuss about 642 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: how often people took children to lynchings for for virtually 643 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: for entertainment to watch people being lynched. So if someone was, 644 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: you know, ten years old in nineteen sixty five, they're 645 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: now sixty four, which means they could be a CEO, 646 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: a officer, a congressman, a senator, the local storekeep. So 647 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: to think that this this, this, this sentiment of black 648 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: lives have no value has disappeared when people who were 649 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: eyewitnessed and participants and some of the worst atrocities of 650 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: this nation, like lynching, are still at a young enough 651 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: age to have the voice and have the control and 652 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: power on what's happening to us, is insane. And it's like, 653 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: what do you think they taught their kids? What conversations 654 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: do you think they heard at their dinner table on 655 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: Friday night? And so we have to start working appealing 656 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: about peeling back the psychological effects of that. And a 657 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: lot of people don't like it when I say this, 658 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: but at this point, I'm over the adults. We're all 659 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: rotten and no good and we've all been tainted. I 660 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: think we need to start focusing our energy on educating 661 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: the next generation. We need to start having these in 662 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: depth conversations, workshops and and change making instances in schools. 663 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about from middle school to high school 664 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: to even the collegiate level, to say, okay, we all 665 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: need to process the trauma of white supremacy on both 666 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: sides and had people start to grapple with some feelings 667 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: that they have inside of them and they don't don't 668 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: even exist because of what their parents have taught them 669 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: or because of what their experiences have been. Let's take 670 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: a quick break and then we'll get right back to 671 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: some interesting news and we're back. There's a new Gallop 672 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: poll out saying that Americans aren't feeling too good about 673 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: the state of things here in this country. Now, I've 674 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: never been wont to wave a flag or own clothing 675 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: with USA like emblazoned on it. I think we'll do 676 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: the Old Navy tank top smiles. No, No, I saw 677 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: with Old Navy when the performance fleece boom died out. 678 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: Old Navy Performance Fleet, Old Navy, remember that ship. Yeah, 679 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: I was working with Performance least Um and Old Navy 680 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: was tight because you could go in there with twenty 681 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: bucks and you come out with a whole new outfit. Yeah, 682 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: you know, and they'd be like, oh my god, what 683 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: happened to you. I'm like, don't worry, baby, it's the 684 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: whole performance performance fleas outfit. Um. I digress. But you know, 685 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: I think when I think most people, right, I think 686 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: thinking American people who have a sober eyed take on 687 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: what this country is aren't probably view this country as 688 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: a failed experiment with pockets of decency and fantastic PR 689 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: just fantasy. The PR is actually the best thing about 690 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: this company this country because we're doing all kinds of 691 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: ship and people think we're number one. And then the 692 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: u N is like, um, we should act. Maybe need 693 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: to send like pole observers towards the elections. Uh, we 694 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: need to talk about human rights violations because I think 695 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,959 Speaker 1: the pr scheme is starting to wear thin a bit. 696 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: But now there's this Gallup poll that has been going 697 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: on for twenty years, and for the first time, the like, 698 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: the self view of how Americans feel about the country 699 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: has hit its lowest since they began this pole for 700 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: only twenty um so right now it's of the majority, 701 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, six say they're extremely or very proud. 702 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: But that is still the lowest figure ever, the highest 703 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: right after nine eleven, when it was and only eight 704 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 1: percent of the country realized what America was doing abroad 705 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: to bring that kind of terror to the country. Uh. 706 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: And then it's just the Dixie chicks. Uh and then 707 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: so forty uh So when they break it down, only 708 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: of respondents in the entire thing, though, said they're satisfied 709 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: with the direction of the country, which is very interesting, 710 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: and even like among conservatives, sixty cent of Republicans now 711 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: describe themselves as extremely proud. That's a nine point dip 712 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 1: from last year. That's her Republicans now. I don't know 713 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: if they are responding to the you know, it could 714 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: also be like, I hate what this country is doing. 715 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: Look at what George Soros is getting anti foot to 716 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: do with these fake deaths of George Floor. You know, 717 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: like if they're on that kind of thing and that's 718 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: what they're responding to, but or if they're like, uh, 719 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: this is this is bad. I think it all depends 720 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,479 Speaker 1: on how you're engaged. These are interesting because I feel 721 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: like what is reflected here is like when people are 722 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: saying whether they're proud to be an American or not, 723 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: I feel like more often than not, people are responding 724 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: to like an image of the idea they have of America, 725 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: and like what you have been told your whole life 726 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: it stands for and maybe not always what it actually 727 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: is and what it actually is doing. So I don't know. Yeah, 728 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,320 Speaker 1: maybe people are just kind of not only just seeing 729 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: what's happening right in front of them, but perhaps realizing 730 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: they have been sold at a lie. I hope so. 731 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: And even if you're waking up to it, don't feel bad. 732 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 1: Just realize that now you have work to do. Yeah, 733 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: just sound roll you sleeves up. And I've seen this 734 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: tweet said a thousand times over the weekend from a 735 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,439 Speaker 1: lot of black Twitter users of saying like, oh wow, 736 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: you're really getting tired of thinking about race in this country. 737 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: M m m m m m m m m m 738 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: m m m. Okay, you're getting tired. Okay, fantastic, And 739 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: I'll leave it there because just this is this is 740 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: the work we have to do, and I think you 741 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: should be excited that you could possibly be in a 742 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: time in American history where we could do something significant, 743 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: but you don't second those distractions come back. That's what 744 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: I get worried about. Why. Also because I'm sort of 745 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: surprised that this poll didn't find more people who are 746 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 1: upset about America, because like that's that's the kind of 747 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: question where you could come to I'm upset about America 748 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: or not feeling good about its image, like a lot 749 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: of ways. Like you could also come to it from 750 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: the way of like there are too many people against Trump, 751 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 1: Like like that could be your reason. Like I remember 752 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: when I stopped watching the NFL or football in general, 753 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: it was because I think, like the brain injuries are 754 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: scary and they have like covered up evidence of it 755 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: giving people long term concussions and problems, and like I 756 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: have those reasons, and then I would tell people that 757 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: without getting to the reason why, and occasionally they'd be like, yeah, 758 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: too many people kneeling you're right, and I was like no, no, no, 759 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm not on your team. No no, no, different, different thing, 760 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: like we're we're separate. And so with this pride in 761 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: America thing, I could see a lot of people being like, 762 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: you know, it was a great country. But then liberals 763 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: started blah blah blah, like there could be a lot 764 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: of reasons for people. It's definitely the lowest it's been 765 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,320 Speaker 1: for Democrats too, because when they break it down by party, 766 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 1: Democrats are always a little are obviously going to be 767 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 1: more critical because some people I don't know who on 768 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: the right could be critical of America for the right 769 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: reasons aside from what you're saying. It's like, I don't 770 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 1: know if people just respected the commander in chief um 771 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: and let the president lead, the country would be in 772 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: a lot better place. Okay, yeah, yeah people. I'm sure 773 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: that people are responding to a lot of different ideas 774 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: here that are just expressed on the same umbrella. Yeah, 775 00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 1: but everyone, But the point is everyone is disappointed. Yeah, hopefully. 776 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: I tried to go to quiz Nos and I couldn't 777 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: eat it. Sitting inside the restaurant. It's like, yeah, we're 778 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: talking about idiots, my systemic racism, systemic what. Oh, I 779 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't want to talk about that. I'd 780 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: actually I'd like to pivot back to Quiznos. Okay, do 781 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: you remember the prime rib peppercorn sub Do they still 782 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: have that? I'm sorry, now we were talking about Okay, Okay, 783 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: that's too much Quiznos knowledge. Hop off in your forward ranger. Okay, 784 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: let's move on to something ridiculous, because Lacy, when you 785 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: said this sentence out loud, I said, what then are 786 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 1: you talking about? So just I'm just you take it away, Lace, 787 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: I don't know. The whole description of what's happening was confusing, confounding. Guys, Hollywood, 788 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 1: you know what do we need right now? We need entertainment. 789 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: And when you think entertainment, I know you think biography 790 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:06,879 Speaker 1: by picks, you know, bio biopics, biopics either way bother way. Yeah, 791 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: biopic feels like a medical procedure. People say that all 792 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: the time, and like, I'm always like, it always bugs me. 793 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: Not that, like I want to say something, I'm like, 794 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: I prefer biopic, like like your bios. But I guess 795 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: it's biography biopics anyway. We we digress.

Okay, 812 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: So that that sounds interesting. I mean, more importantly, who 813 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: plays Prince Charles?

I really like this movie. 831 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 1: What I mean, I don't know much about Christen Stewart's 832 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: acting outside of that. I mean, is she is there 833 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,399 Speaker 1: a reason? Does this make sense? Lacy? You know, you're 834 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: you're tapped into these this this world. You know, in Hollywood, 835 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: there happens to be a thing that happens with the 836 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: girls where you know, once you've built up a certain 837 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: amount of credits or gotten a certain amount of notoriety, 838 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: the studios will start to push you on the public um, 839 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, because they feel like you're a recognizable name 840 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,240 Speaker 1: is going to generate revenue. Now, this works in certain 841 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: instances like for instance, um, Elizabeth Moss, I will watch 842 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 1: anything that they put her ass on. They put her 843 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: face on a can, I'm gonna stare at that can 844 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 1: until until I can't know more. I'm like, oh, this 845 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: isn't a television I've never realized, Um, because she's good, 846 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? And I think that 847 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,959 Speaker 1: that was their hope with Kristin Stewart. Obviously they tried 848 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,399 Speaker 1: it with the Charlie's Angel franchise. A lot of times 849 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: in Hollywood, when you see a deal come out like 850 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 1: on deadline, it's been in negotiation for at least six 851 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: months to maybe even a year if it's a project 852 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: that they're also personally because when it happens, every time 853 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 1: someone has a deadline thing they go finally I can 854 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 1: talk about this and they're like, yeah, I was working 855 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: on that for seventeen years and you're like, oh, ship. 856 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: So it might have been one of those things where 857 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 1: in the height of the Kristen Stewart, you know, like, oh, 858 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 1: she has all these new projects coming out. She's going 859 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,359 Speaker 1: to be one of the Charlie's Angels. She's in these 860 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 1: action films or whatever. They were like, oh, also she'll 861 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: play Lady Die. And then all those projects started to 862 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: come out and flop, and now she's still attached. I 863 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: also like the idea that they the studio thought this 864 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 1: was what the world needed right now. They're like, Okay, 865 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,840 Speaker 1: you know what, we should cast Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana. 866 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 1: I think people need to hear that right now. They 867 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: really need to hear that. I'm okay with it as 868 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,359 Speaker 1: long as I can play Queen Elizabeth. I just think 869 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 1: if we're gonna have radical casts, I feel the same 870 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: way Queen the Queen drink out of like a chalice 871 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,320 Speaker 1: of bedazzled chalice and ship. I will have my wig 872 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: with the curry right here. I will rock it. Oh okay, 873 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: but I feel like that would go well with like 874 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: Kristen stewl it's you know, sort of like typecast of 875 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 1: like the I don't understand, right, I don'tunderstand. I'm trying 876 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: to think of who would actually be And every time 877 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,240 Speaker 1: there's like a casting on the show, I always engage 878 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 1: in this exercise where I don't have the imagination to 879 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: even say, well who would because I'm like, I'd have 880 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: to really think about it. But I'm trying to actually 881 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 1: think of someone when I look at this picture of Diana, 882 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:28,359 Speaker 1: like if there is somebody who's true, like just they 883 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: do have kind of simple and see but that's what 884 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: Christian Stewart and Diana do. Have similar facial structures, like 885 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,800 Speaker 1: I can't really hate on that, the nose is a 886 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: little bit different. Is Reese the right age though, no, 887 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 1: she's not the right But I would rather I would 888 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: rather see the Reese Witherspoon type cast up against the 889 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,439 Speaker 1: queen then the Christens Store type cast up against the queen, 890 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? The like the timid like, oh, 891 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 1: but vampires, I love both of them, and a werewolf 892 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,280 Speaker 1: like I kind of want to see the Reese Witherspoon 893 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 1: like is happening, right? It certainly sounds more fun than 894 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: like Prince Charles, I can do this anymore? Do you 895 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: do you have any of you read, like her biography 896 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: or anything, because this must this weekend must have been 897 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 1: fucking wild as fun. If the entire movie is just 898 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 1: about this weekend in the early nineties and knowing like 899 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: she wasn't working with Doughty till like the late nineties, 900 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: so what what like what this there's this must be 901 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 1: juicy as fun.

Yeah. Look, I'm not gonna hate 906 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,879 Speaker 1: out the gate, but I am confounded. The thing is, though, 907 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 1: I guess even when you read it right, this is 908 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: how it's just like it covers this critical week right 909 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 1: when Diana decided her marriage it wasn't working, and that 910 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 1: she needed to veer from a path that put her 911 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 1: in line to one day be queen. The drama takes 912 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,240 Speaker 1: place over three days in one of her final Christmas 913 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,719 Speaker 1: holidays in the House of Windsor in they're sendering a 914 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 1: mistate in Norfolk, England, so that this is about a 915 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: three days.

I feel downright European. 940 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,359 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, it was good. Wait which part 941 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: was European? The walks, the flowers, the cookie. I'm walking 942 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 1: to the market down the street every day, you know 943 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 1: what I mean. There's a bad get in my buying 944 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: song from Beauty and the Beast and ship eating everybody. 945 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, a lot of people have, like you know, 946 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 1: we were talking about this yesterday about what you know, 947 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: clearly we've slammed the brakes on something and people are 948 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: starting to find good in certain things slowing down. And 949 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,879 Speaker 1: I'm really and I get your point, man, because there's 950 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 1: certain things like we absolutely cannot continue to do like 951 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,800 Speaker 1: I think we have to even think about how efficient 952 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 1: we are with our work weeks and things like that. 953 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, somehow I'm doing more work not being in 954 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 1: an office or more efficient not being in an office, 955 00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: and like I feel like the quality of our work 956 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: hasn't diminished and things like that, And I feel like 957 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 1: those are bigger questions, like do people need offices? Do 958 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,760 Speaker 1: we need to be like because creating an office creates 959 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,440 Speaker 1: all this commuting and ship like that, like are we 960 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,439 Speaker 1: what things can we take away from this positively? But yeah, 961 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm the same way where I'm like, I'm also dreading, 962 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,759 Speaker 1: like people being like, hey, we're gonna go out here here, 963 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 1: like you're gonna come blah blah blah. When it's now, 964 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, Like I can do what 965 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 1: I need to do. Uh. But I think I'm also 966 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 1: just an introvert in that way where I don't know, 967 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,879 Speaker 1: I don't power up from being around people. I power 968 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 1: up from being by myself. Well it's been nice. Yeah, 969 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 1: I miss I I miss hugging my friends. But you know, 970 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,800 Speaker 1: I saw z and Honor the other day and what 971 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 1: we went outside to pick something for the house and 972 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,399 Speaker 1: we just hung out on their porch. It's like people 973 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 1: are just hanging out in the park or on the 974 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: porch and it's like it's good to see you. Yeah, 975 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,480 Speaker 1: I wish, I wish I could hug him. But at 976 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 1: the same time, it's like, this is nice, man. It's 977 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,400 Speaker 1: just nice being around people that you love. And it's like, 978 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 1: what the funk have we been doing? Especially I know Lacy, 979 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 1: you could probably relate to this because in in the 980 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, doing live comedy stuff, you're out every night, 981 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 1: You're going from activity to activity. Uh, you don't want 982 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,360 Speaker 1: to let anyone down. And I mean basically you're an entrepreneur, 983 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 1: so you don't want you want to be at everything. Yeah, 984 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: so basically you don't want to miss anything because this 985 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: might be the thing that leads to work. But without this, 986 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,360 Speaker 1: there's no guilt. I don't have any guilt about not 987 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,799 Speaker 1: writing jokes. I don't have any guilt about any of 988 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 1: this stuff. Um, And you're right, it's causing you. I 989 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 1: think we were all telling our stulfs a story before, 990 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 1: and this disruption said, oh maybe this or is it real? 991 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,279 Speaker 1: Or maybe I don't have to the thing that I 992 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: told myself isn't real and I could rewrite this thing. 993 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 1: Just like all black men, all black lives are black 994 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,759 Speaker 1: lives matter stuff. Is that, um, that we don't have 995 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: to accept that anymore. So the way we've been living, 996 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: the things we've been valuing, we can rewrite this world 997 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,360 Speaker 1: in our life and make it the way we wanted 998 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,359 Speaker 1: to make it, and and and only do things that 999 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,239 Speaker 1: truly bring us joy. So we'll see how it goes. Yeah, 1000 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 1: I've been sitting in garages with people where they're like 1001 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,279 Speaker 1: open the garage up and the chairs will be eight 1002 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 1: feet apart. And what I've noticed is is like, yeah, 1003 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 1: I used to hang out with people before, but like 1004 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 1: I'm constant on my phone on slide of emails right now, 1005 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: I've my thumbs are gonna fall the funk off. I'm 1006 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: hopefully going to be cashing out in one of those 1007 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 1: Apple commercials like have your loved one Lost? Constant texting 1008 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: um from swipe from swipe, texting from swipe, texting like 1009 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get that lawsuit together for us, guys. It's 1010 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 1: gonna be we'll all have a black turtleneck when I'm 1011 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:07,479 Speaker 1: done with Apple. But yeah, it's like, now I feel 1012 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: guilty if I'm on my phone and I'm like, I 1013 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: gotta focus on this human who's in front of me 1014 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 1: because I don't get human time that much. Um, And 1015 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 1: then I will say I did cheat and hug one 1016 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,360 Speaker 1: of my closest friends, Priscilla, because we went to a 1017 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 1: protest together and we had been isolated, each of us 1018 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 1: in our own home, so we're like, we can hug. 1019 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 1: We've been alone for months. Um. And when I tell you, 1020 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: it hit like head I had to hug hit like that, 1021 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 1: Like I had a little like am I horned out 1022 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 1: what's happening out right? Literally? It was like, so I 1023 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,360 Speaker 1: absolutely agree with you on that, Steve, and and and 1024 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,279 Speaker 1: it's interesting to see the restructuring. I think that with 1025 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter thing is that we finally have 1026 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,320 Speaker 1: the attention span of white folks in a way that 1027 00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 1: we've never had before. Uh and unfortunate, only there's so 1028 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: much trauma circulating that's like you can't ignore it. And 1029 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,879 Speaker 1: here we are. And now I feel like I'm doing 1030 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,319 Speaker 1: a clean up of every industry that I work in, 1031 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 1: the theater that I work at, specifically, I'm working very 1032 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,640 Speaker 1: diligent with them to clean up their systemic racial issues. 1033 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 1: I'm working with places that I work at professionally. Like 1034 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 1: when I tell you, like it was like I had 1035 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,799 Speaker 1: to put on the black panther head. Everybody like we 1036 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:26,920 Speaker 1: had just tighten everybody. We got time now before I 1037 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,399 Speaker 1: felt it felt like things that weren't worth like there 1038 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: was an acceptance, there was a certain nihilism when it 1039 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 1: came to accepting white supremacy. We wasn't even accepting it 1040 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,879 Speaker 1: was survival or just basically or but accepting like that 1041 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,239 Speaker 1: it existed and it was defining every single space we 1042 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: were operating into. That It's not that it's like and 1043 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,719 Speaker 1: I welcome white supremacy in my life, but it's that's 1044 00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 1: is how it is. And now we're at a point 1045 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 1: where like, no, this is not like this, not anymore. 1046 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: Not now, it's like that's that's a big energetic difference 1047 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 1: I feel from a lot of people. Yeah, I don't 1048 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 1: believe in destiny. I think if when you even destiny 1049 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: quote unquote, then you have to believe that some really 1050 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 1: fucked up things are going on, and then you know, 1051 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,520 Speaker 1: whatever the whatever God cares about my comedy career, but 1052 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 1: he doesn't care about the continent of Africa or something 1053 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 1: like that. So I don't believe in it like that. 1054 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 1: But also this feels like such a crazy unique time 1055 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 1: in history that all these things had to come together 1056 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,240 Speaker 1: for these changes to happen. And so now I'm so 1057 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,720 Speaker 1: excited to grab ahold of it by the tail and 1058 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 1: say like, funck, I'm just gonna dedicate my life. I 1059 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,600 Speaker 1: don't really I you know, I've said no to a 1060 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: couple of comedy shows recently, Zoom shows, because I was like, 1061 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to do my fucking dumb act. Before 1062 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,959 Speaker 1: I got to rewrite my act. We've got to figure 1063 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: out what I don't want to do. Use your body 1064 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 1: and voice for now. Yeah, I don't want to distract 1065 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 1: people with comedy. That's not what I'm not trying to 1066 00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,520 Speaker 1: distract anymore. I want to figure out a way to 1067 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 1: to make all of this, to implement all of this together. 1068 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 1: So that's exciting. I I don't care about just living 1069 00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:00,040 Speaker 1: for myself. I want to change this world. Sorry, And 1070 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 1: it's amazing. I feel like a lot of comedians have really. 1071 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, granted, a lot of my Twitter feed is comedians, 1072 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 1: but also activists and many other people, but there has 1073 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 1: I've been really. It's it's interesting to see because I 1074 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 1: think to be a good comedian you have to be 1075 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,680 Speaker 1: intelligent and be observing things enough that you can synthesize 1076 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 1: them in a humorous way, and it's interesting to see 1077 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 1: so many people begin to like use those skills to 1078 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,440 Speaker 1: also see everything else that's happening in the world and 1079 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: like activate them very like in a meaningful way as well. 1080 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: It seems like I feel like comedy is gonna be 1081 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 1: a lot different after this, because there's a lot of 1082 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 1: comedians too are just like, you know, if you're not 1083 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 1: like if your head is not in the game and 1084 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: you're tweeting some dumb ship right now, like what the 1085 00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 1: funk are you doing? Like, you know, you're you're smart 1086 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 1: enough to be a comedian, so you're gonna be if. 1087 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna be smart enough, you're a 1088 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 1: good comedian, you should be smart enough to know what 1089 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 1: time it is too right, And Dave Chappelle proved that 1090 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,680 Speaker 1: with us, like you know, his comedy Uh, a little 1091 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 1: short special coming out that was barely any jokes and 1092 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 1: a lot of it was just him getting off of 1093 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 1: his chest. And so it's cool to see that kind 1094 00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,680 Speaker 1: of change. I've only really been doing zoom shows and 1095 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: com these shows with people black people, especially people of color, 1096 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 1: where I feel like we can have a good time 1097 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 1: and not have to do too much educating, but also share. 1098 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 1: Like yesterday I did a couple of therapy with Naomi Everything, 1099 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 1: who I love so much, um and we just talked 1100 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: about the fun that we had had a protest in 1101 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: the weird moments at protests, and like it was interesting 1102 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 1: to do that, you know what I mean, and have 1103 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 1: a good time but also still feel like you're in 1104 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 1: the zeitgeist of what's going on. To your point, Steve 1105 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 1: about man about destiny, I think of destiny as a 1106 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 1: scam that I like to implement on people. This is 1107 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:37,040 Speaker 1: your destiny, Like manifest Destiny was America's scam to everybody. 1108 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 1: They were like, manifest destiny, y'all, we gotta rob these 1109 00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 1: native people because God has said, So what God, hold on, 1110 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:49,520 Speaker 1: hold on what gold on?
