1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: I listened to the Black Guy Who Tips podcast because

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Rod and Karen are hot. And then, six months later,

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: while shopping for slightly damaged Timberland chuckers at the Gabrielle

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Brothers Department show store, I happened to run into Rakia Curry,

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: who had sat in my classroom at Wilkinsburg as an

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: approximately inappropriate fourteen year old freshman. Now sixteen, Rakia had

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: a job at Popeye's on Penn Avenue and was beginning

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: to make the transition back to being an actual human.

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: I liked her. She saw me and greeted me the

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: exact same way every single student would when they happened

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: to see me outside of school.

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: Mister Young, I didn't know you shopped at Gabes.

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: For the record, I'd also, at various points during my

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: teaching career heard the following mister Young, I didn't know

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: you went to church. Mister Young, I didn't know you

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: got haircuts. Mister Young, I didn't know you went to

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Kenny Wood. Once while at Giant Eagle, I even heard

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: mister Young, I didn't know you ate food. Hah. Apparently

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: the students assume we teachers stopped existing when they exited

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: our classrooms like like motion, sense of lights with sentients

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: and homework assignments.

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Now, Rakia was tiny, even for a teenage girl.

23
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: She was barely five foote tall and maybe weighed ninety

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: five pounds. She also spoken an aggressive, aggressively delicate whisper.

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: You'd hear the sound of her voice and you weren't

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: sure if she was if it was her talking or

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: kitting laughing. As I was leaving the store with Brian,

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: she waved at me from the driver's seat of a

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: car she was driving. This tiny and mousy little girl

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: just two years earlier, once asked to be excused from

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: the room while I showed the class Michael Jackson's thriller

32
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: video because it was too scary hahaha. Had a fucking

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: license and was driving a fucking car. All the driving

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: related task I allowed to frighten and overwhelm me were

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: apparently mastered by a girl who still shopped at kids

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: foot locker. Just broke something inside of me, not a

37
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: levy releasing a new and advanced hyperspecific rain of shame,

38
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: but specifically relief. Seeing Raquilla's Liliputian as pushing a two

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: thousand pounds Chevy Malibu dissipated all of the daunt I'd

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: attached to doing it myself. If she could do it,

41
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: I totally, definitely, absolutely could. I also felt well, stupid,

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: so fucking stupid, like the dumbest motherfucker whoever lived. I'd

43
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: allowed this task to become such an albatross that it

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: blinded me to the fact that the source of my

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: shame was about the solution. I, a twenty six year

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: old man, hadn't yet done something that sixteen year olds

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: regularly do, which also meant that this impossible task was

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: something sixteen year olds regularly did, so it couldn't be

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: that fucking hard. Hey, welcome to the Blackout Tis podcast,

Speaker 1: We'll even talk about the money you guys donate it.

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: But first I just wanted to say this excerpt that

71
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm reading this from Damon Young's What Doesn't Kill You

72
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: Make You Blacker? And I love this because I do

73
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: this too. I get this inside my head. There's normal

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: shit every day people do, and sometimes I don't know

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: if everybody goes through this, but sometimes I'm the one

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: that's petrified of these things and I don't know why.

77
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: There's no necessary rhyme or reason. And then after a while,

78
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: not doing the thing makes it become bigger than it was,

79
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: so now it's a hurdle of For example, not learning

80
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: to swim is a big one that a lot of

81
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: people have right you're like, right, when you're a kid,

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: you're like, I want to learn to swim, or you know, hey, swimming.

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: You know, people swim all the time. And when you

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: get older, you know, and I'm not talking about the

85
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: specific racialization of swimming, but when you get older, you're like, oh, yeah,

86
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: I should learn to swim. And then you get and

87
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: then eventually it's like I can't just go to day

88
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: camp and learn to swim. I can't just go to

89
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: summer camp and learn to swim. I can't take a

90
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: swimming class at school learn to swim. Now I'm an adult,

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: I have to now pay for a class, go to

92
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: a special place, get special clothing to learn how to swim.

93
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: And now it's a thing. And now that it's a thing,

94
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it, you know. And one

95
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: of the things that has consistently been the thing that

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: got me over the hurdle is seeing how mundane this

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: that I'm I put on a pedestal of not even

98
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: a pedestal on like a top of a mountain that

99
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: is like a fear mountain. That's like, you can't do this,

100
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: it's too scary. That thing, often down is often the

101
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: thing that a lot of people do, and not just that.

102
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: But let's say you do fail at it. Now, in

103
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: the case of swimming, you drown and you die. But

104
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: but but it must cases just say you fail it

105
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: learning how to swim.

106
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you drowing, you die.

107
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: You you're at the Y andc A and a pool,

108
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: so on a savior, you'll be okay. But in general,

109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: even failure, there are options around failure.

110
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: Even failure, you can learn, you can continue.

111
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it takes you three times to learn how to swim,

112
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Maybe takes you three times learn how to drive. You know.

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: But it's funny because we find ways to cope with

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: these things. I can't drive, I'm taking the bus everywhere,

115
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm getting the ubers, I'm doing this, but I'm at

116
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: the mercy of some other person at this point. You are,

117
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, And there's also give and take. Right, Well,

118
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: I can't drive, but hey, at least I don't have

119
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: to pay.

120
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: A car bill.

121
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: I'm not put gas in it.

122
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: Yes, both not knocking that, but just the fear of it.

123
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: It's like a skill you should learn and you should have.

124
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: And I know that's been a thing for me with

125
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: certain hurdles, and one of the things that really pushed

126
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: me over the edge for a lot of stuff was

127
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: looking at other people and being like, well, if you know,

128
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: if this other person can drive a car, why am

129
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: I so scared? You know, this other person learns how

130
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: knows how to swim, why should I be afraid to

131
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: learn how to swim?

132
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: You know. So that's what it made me think of.

133
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 4: And it was just listen to that until you read that.

134
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: It was hilarious because I I was that child who

135
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 4: whenever I walked up the classroom, I don't know why,

136
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: but I thought the teachers just I guess went into

137
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: the back room and just popped that the next day

138
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: because when I saw teaching somewhere, I'm looking like you

139
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: do shit do?

140
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Like I was.

141
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: It was a huge until I got older, it was

142
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: a huge disconnect that the teachers have lives.

143
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially if they're like kind of younger, right, and

144
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: it's like you forget that they're not like while you're

145
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: in a classroom. And plus you're young, so you think

146
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: like you're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, you think thirty is like.

147
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: About the shit they gonna clunk tomorrow.

148
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Right, You're like, this is an old dead person in

149
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: my classroom. They don't know the latest dance and shit.

150
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: But then you're out of tomorrow one day you see

151
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: a teacher and you're like, oh, that's right, they're a

152
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: human fucking being, you know. So yeah, that's definitely something

153
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: that I've you know, experienced or whatever.

154
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's also one of those things where, you know,

155
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 4: when I got old and I realized teacher had kids,

156
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: I was like, you're a teacher, you got kids. They

157
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: doug careing the human being. But like I said, I was,

158
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: I was one of them, you weak two type of

159
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: chilture because like I said, in my mind, for whatever

160
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: fucking reason, it was disconnect.

161
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, life was be so weird for teachers because also

162
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: when you're in school, at least for me anyway, I know,

163
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: I had like tremendous respect for the role of a teacher,

164
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, even if I didn't necessarily think,

165
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: even if they weren't a good teacher, I just in

166
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: my mind, teachers they run the world.

167
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: Then I became an adult and.

168
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: You live a life and you see that teachers don't

169
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: get paid well, you see that people don't respect teachers. People.

170
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: You know, teachers oftentimes work you know, three fourths of

171
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: the year or whatever, and then they have like the

172
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: summer off and they got to get another job. People

173
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: don't want to pay for their school supplies. Like all

174
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: the things you learned as a kid about respect your teachers,

175
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: teachers have an important job. Whatever someone wants to demean

176
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: an athlete or a rich person, what do they say.

177
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like they're a teacher. Teachers and

178
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: doctors should be getting paid the most smart nay blah

179
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: blah blah. But our society absolutely does not feel that

180
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: way about teachers. Greed. So yeah, it's I had all

181
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: this reverence and then you see them out somewhere at Chipotle,

182
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: and it does blow your mind. You're like, what teachers

183
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: just go to Chipotle? I thought they ate in the

184
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Library of Congress because they're so important and learning all

185
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: the time and they're so smart. So yeah, it was

186
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: definitely a thing for me to see, like a teacher

187
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: at the mall or something.

188
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you was talking about like that, the hurdle of.

189
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: Something that's it could turn into something bigger when you

190
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 4: look at it, and you know, you look at like, well,

191
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: this little girl who's a fraction of my age, can

192
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: I here and do this shit? And I'm like, oh

193
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 4: my gosh, the world's gonna end. I don't know what

194
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: to do when you're like, oh, this is shit that

195
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 4: people do all the time. Depend on what it is,

196
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: I can be like that, but I have always had

197
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 4: the type of person out there.

198
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, let's do it.

199
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: You know.

200
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 4: But when it come to swimming as one of them things,

201
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I can't swim. My black ass

202
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: ain't get in that water. We having a pool party

203
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: with I. I'm not going, you know. They was like wow.

204
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: I was like, because motherfuckers don't realize when somebody tells

205
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 4: them that you can't fucking swim, they want to throw

206
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: the joke out there. We'll throw you in the pool,

207
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: the fuck you will. My black ass ain't coming like

208
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: like they don't understand the fear and a panic that

209
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 4: comes on people.

210
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: Oh when you go, I don't I don't know how

211
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: swimpe are you can swim? No, no, bit, I don't.

212
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: I wouldn't lie to you about no shit like that.

213
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 4: When you got to come and fucking save me, you can,

214
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: oh shit.

215
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: She was down to bitch, yes, right, but you know

216
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: it's funny, that's also your fear talking, because that doesn't

217
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: happen that often, you know what I mean. I'm not

218
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: saying never, right, but the most people that you care

219
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: about that are your friends. If you say, hey, I

220
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: want to go to the pool party, they're not going

221
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: to be like, well now I'm gonna drown you because

222
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: I would like to murder somebody during my birthday.

223
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I said, and that was that fear talking

224
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 4: on well, I won't be there.

225
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: The right And I know for a while you took

226
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: like water classes at the YMCA y yeah, you know,

227
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: and my parents put me in the in the ymcaad

228
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: classes and then that's how I learned to swim. And

229
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: then also I learned when I was also in a

230
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: summer camp. You know, we would go out there had

231
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: a pool and lifeguard and I was swim it there.

232
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: So but yeah, it's just funny because I remember the

233
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: anxiety of swimming, and honestly, I still would have anxiety

234
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: to this day. I'm sure if it was like jumping

235
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: off the diving board into the deep ind or something,

236
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but the height always bothers me.

237
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I know, mentally, it's nothing different and I've done it

238
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: before because you have to do it the past swimming class.

239
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: It's like the last thing is jump off the diving

240
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: board and then swim to the shallow end and then

241
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: you can get out. And you do need to learn

242
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: that lesson because the thing that it takes away from

243
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: you is the fear, because once you go through it,

244
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, why the fuck was I tripping? Like

245
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: it's like, not only is it not scary, it's fun. No,

246
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: there's only two type of people that drown, really over

247
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: confident people and people who freeze up because they're scared, right,

248
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, And so you kind of want to be

249
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: in the middle. Like I'm not, you know, over confident.

250
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't think I can just swim across a lake

251
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: or some shit, but like at a pool, like I

252
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: can go in the pool and swim, and you know,

253
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: I stay in the middle, middle to the shallow end

254
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: and stay out of the deep end. I don't really

255
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those people. But yeah, it's just

256
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: I just think it's kind of interesting because those things

257
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: willcome bigger and bigger as you grow up.

258
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: I think they will become smaller. But now it's like

259
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: a fucking thing.

260
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: I can't swim, and now I have to dictate all

261
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: my you know, issues through this. And the other thing

262
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: that's weird is you went swimming in Jamaica every day

263
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: to do the thing, and it never occurred to me

264
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: that you don't know how to swim. I should have

265
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: been scared of shit and been like, what the fuck

266
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: are you doing in the water, you know?

267
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: But but you made it fine. You were like you

268
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: were able to do it or whatever.

269
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: But you know, because I want.

270
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm not.

271
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 4: I'm one of them because when I took the adult

272
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: class years ago, there's some people just the water itself

273
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: starts a panic, like they don't want their face getting

274
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 4: with none of that. Like, the water itself does not

275
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 4: panic meet. So I can be in the water, you know,

276
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 4: I can on a shallow I can sit in the

277
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: water with the goggles on like that part doesn't bother me.

278
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: My panic comes when I can't touch the ground anymore.

279
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: That's when my panic kind of touches me. So I

280
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 4: was like, okay, let's go. I found out how to

281
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 4: wear properly strapped my life best song, and I found

282
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: out that the life vest was designed to make my

283
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: black ass float. So I was like, precautions, so I

284
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 4: would because I knew I couldn't swim. I made sure

285
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 4: all the precautions on top of the precautions work. So

286
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: my ass went brown. So I got my ass out

287
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 4: there and had a good time. But no, I was

288
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: snooking it every fucking day, And no, I couldn't swim,

289
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 4: but I was having a ball. But but like you said,

290
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: it's strangey, I.

291
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: Don't know how to swim. But my black ass got

292
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: out there.

293
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: I was like, come on, y'all get out here too.

294
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: They're looking like book here and you can't swim, and

295
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't give a fox. So that's why

296
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 4: I said, I need you gonna have to swim for

297
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 4: the simple fact that I know that I it would

298
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 4: be a lot more enjoyable to me.

299
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should take another class man, all right? That

300
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,040

00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: The pastor, of course, did preach, even though they said,

360
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, just to give words of encouragement. He went

362
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:52,120

363
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, because preachers preach, that's you.

364
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: Know what was gonna happen. I was waiting on it.

365
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: I did realize that I don't know any of the

366
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: church on.

367
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I did. The only one I knew for sure was

368
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: the one that everybody knows, which is that last, like

369
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: a mean so that one.

370
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 4: So I was like, one out of five guys I

371
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: would because I raised the church five. Most of those

372
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 4: songs are very traditional, particularly if you go to like

373
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 4: am Zion's Baptist type of churches. It's them songs. Well,

374
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 4: you don't even need to pick up the HM book

375
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 4: after while because you don't rhythms. Even if somebody remix it,

376
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 4: you know, just how to kind of go.

377
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: You know how black people is, you're gonna have different versions.

378
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: So one person singing, three people singing in the background

379
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: their version of it, and so that's you know, because

380
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 4: we negroes. And so that's happened, and everybody just clapped

381
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 4: and sing along and had a good time.

382
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: Yeah.

383
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: But like I said, as a heathen, the way my

384
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: heathen drey Is set up. I know none of them songs.

385
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: Oh go ahead. They had some good food afterwards. You

386
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: had fried chicken, chicken, macaroons.

387
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: Beans, then they had cakes and all.

388
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: That type of stuff.

389
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: It was one of those things where when they was like, oh,

390
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: go this way, you open up a door, you go

391
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 4: down the hall, where you turn the corner. It was

392
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 4: like a map. So once you got to the end,

393
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 4: it was like, what all this food back here? And

394
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 4: they literally everybody in the sanctuary. Mouse would have came

395
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 4: and got food there, but I could take the gold plates.

396
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 3: The food was good. Yeah, we had a good time.

397
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was. It was good man. Everybody was

398
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're in a positive spirit, so mean a lot.

399
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: It did. It wasn't stressful or anything. So I'm just

400
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 4: glad that it turned out to be a very positive event.

401
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 4: It was a lot of love, a lot of talking, laughing.

402
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 4: I got to see some of my friend friends that

403
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen in forever. One of my friends, she's uh,

404
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 4: somebody who I've.

405
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 6: Known her for a long time and we don't talk

406
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 6: that often, but anytime we talk, it's kind of like you,

407
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 6: I'm like you, We picked right up like we never

408
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 6: skipped a beat.

409
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 4: And that's how it is. We might not talk for

410
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: ten years when we talk, Hey, gir, how you doing,

411
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 4: how your baby is doing, how your husband doing? Us? How?

412
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: It was like we just keep it talking.

413
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 6: You know.

414
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: I was with her when we're been friends, when she

415
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: was with her first husband, got divorced, she's remarried, she

416
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 4: has another baby, and I've been there just cheering and

417
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: supporting her on. And it's just one of those things

418
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: where people take true friends for granted, and people think

419
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: that friendship means we have to be all all upon

420
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 4: each other all the time.

421
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 3: But that's in my definition, that's all.

422
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 4: We're not always true frienishing and people have things to

423
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: do and families and lives to leave and stuff like that.

424
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: So it felt really good to see her.

425
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: Yeap, my parents came, my niece came, mother came, Like yeah,

426
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: it was just cool.

427
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: It was like a much a very positive atmosphere.

428
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: You know. I know for a while, you know, you

429
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: were just wondering if you were going all this type

430
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: of stuff. But you know, it's that kind of thing

431
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: where I think you only get events like this literally

432
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: wants one time events, and you know, I think It's

433
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: one of those things where.

434
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: You regret it if you may.

435
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: You may regret it if you don't go, correct, but

436
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: you the I you almost never regret it for going.

437
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: For me, that's my experience and I and I'm the

438
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: kind of person that I can. I'd rather live with

439
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: I went and it wasn't good and I didn't appreciate it,

440
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: and I wish I hadn't have gone. I'd rather live

441
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: with that than than the regret of I didn't go.

442
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: And now, you know, I have to wonder if that

443
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: was the right move for the rest of my life.

444
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: And I can't make it up, you know. You know

445
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: something similar that happened with my brother, you know, for

446
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: his wedding and stuff, And it was a situation where

447
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if I was gonna go and all

448
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: the stuff, and I went and not only was it

449
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: was it great. I had a great time. Met my

450
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: in laws there. They're great people and great road trip

451
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. But like you know, it's one

452
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: of those situations where I know that if I hadn't

453
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: a gone, it just it wouldn't be the same. You know.

454
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: Now that's a happy quote unquote occasion, but in a way,

455
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: this is a happy occasion because you know, uh, this

456
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: is about the connections that we form in life, and

457
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: people's memorials, funerals and stuff is really for their living

458
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: and it's a celebration of like their life tied all

459
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: these people together and brought all these connections, and there

460
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: is something positive about that, you.

461
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 3: Know, right.

462
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 4: And it's also one of the things where people told

463
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: stories about my mama that I never heard of, and

464
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: it was laughter. It was it was like literally laughter,

465
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 4: a lot of smiling, you know, a lot of happiness.

466
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 4: You know. Even the preacher was talking, He's like, you

Speaker 4: smile on.

469
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. We were sitting right in front of that big picture,

470
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,239
Speaker 1: and the picture y'all really do look alike, you know,

471
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: like you'll favor a lot. Yes, we do, so, you know,

472
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: especially when she had to fro and all that stuff.

473
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: And I loved that picture.

474
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: When I was going to her pictures, I was trying

475
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 4: to figure out which one and I wanted, and my

476
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: mama has like an old school pictures, like in her twenties,

477
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 4: and it was a gorgeous smile and.

478
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 3: She had like a really really big throw in that.

479
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: Picture, and I was like, I won't this one right,

480
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 4: So shots out to my aunt Debby. Lord, you know

481
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 4: what have y'all ever had an aunt?

482
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 3: Did? She just the best up in the whole wide world.

483
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 4: And y'all never met a better person than this woman.

484
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 4: That's how my Aunt Debbie is. I've never met a

485
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 4: better human being than her. And she literally will give

486
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 4: you everything in the clothes of all back if you

487
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: need it, and she got it uor she gonna make

488
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: it happen.

489
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: She's been like that all my life.

490
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 4: And I told her this is the picture I wanted.

491
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 4: So when she initially tried to get it done, it

492
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 4: was like one of the tinier pictures. So she was like, well,

493
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: they said that they couldn't do this and blow it

494
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 4: up as big as you would like. So what she

495
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: did she took it and did some photocopy and finagoed

496
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 4: and took them like a larger version, and they took

497
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 4: it and they blew it up and they made a

498
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 4: really beautiful picture. And the urn, y'all, the owner is gorgeous.

499
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 4: Earn if I'm pronounced that right, was gorgeous. I got

500
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 4: one with like these ros pedals all over it and

501
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 4: it was absolutely beautiful. I'm so because I was debating

502
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: on if I when to go, but I'm glad that

503
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: I that I went. And you know what, I'm on hindsight,

504
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 4: I think I probably would have regretted not going if

505
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: I would have opted not to go.

506
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: But like you say, sometimes you have to come to

507
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 3: your own conclusion. So it was something I was like,

508
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

509
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 4: But then in my heart, I was like, you know what, Yes,

510
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 4: I'm going to go.

511
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's funny because of Carol's you know, the vaiting

512
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: this earlier in the week, and I was, you know,

513
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm not a pusher, so you know, she was like,

514
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, I might not want to go, I might

515
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: not feel like going, blah blah blah. And I was

516
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: thinking my whole time, like, you are definitely gonna want

517
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: to go. You're definitely gonna end up going. You would

518
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: regret if you don't go. I didn't say any of

519
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: this right because I was like at that point, I'm like,

520
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: it's you got like a week and a half to

521
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: make up your mind. But slowly, you know, I can

522
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: see He'll be like, yeah, I am gonna go, and

523
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: I you know, at the time, I was like, well,

524
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: if she's going, obviously I'm gonna go, cause you know,

525
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: can't have you out there by yourself, you know, depending

526
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: on how cause you never know, it could have been

527
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: a really sad occasion and then you know, you don't

528
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: want to be driving home and stuff. So I'm like,

529
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: obviously we're going together. Like in my mind, I had

530
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: already blocked off this whole day. I didn't even think

531
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: we would be doing the show. But uh, yeah, you know,

532
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 1: I just but I wasn't gonna tell her like, listen,

533
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna go. You need to go. Let's

534
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: give to the I'm gonna go. I'm not going do

535
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: anything that day. I'm just gonna say it. Like I

536
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: just was like, I'm just I'll just wait for her

537
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: to get to that point. So yeah, I figured we

538
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: would get there now. It was for the best, So

539
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,480

592
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: Oh let's see we got five star reviews.

593
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 4: This trick is not gonna work. I don't know what's

594
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: wrong with you.

595
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: After the eight thousand times you don't want to seem a.

596
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: Little insecure about losing your top place at the top.

597
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna see why you're so threatened. No, it's just

598
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: interesting to notice.

599
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it's fine, ah and not out threat because okay,

Speaker 4: the joy in me come up.

601
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: So it does sound like it's a competition, Okay, all right, cool.

602
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 3: It's not a competition. No, it's not.

603
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: No, it's not because you're winning. It's not a competition.

604
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: When you at the top, I get it.

605
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: I get a competition when you at the top.

606
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: Exactly after the eight thousand times five stars. This is

607
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: from random Move Random Obi. I recently read that a

608
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: person has to hear a marketing message seven times before

609
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: taking an action. With the blackout tips, I probably heard

610
00:28:54,600 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: the give us five stars reviews directive about eight hundred times. Ah,

611
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: I guess we're not that effective at marketing. Be eight

612
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: hundred and first time here, I am thank you for

613
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: producing this show. Well, it did work three to five

614
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: times a week every week. I've learned so much and

615
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: had my perspective change in on so many topics for

616
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: the better over the past four plus years.

617
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: Continue keeping it one hundred percent.

618
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,600

621
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: Some people it takes eight hundred times, and you know what,

622
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that.

623
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 4: I'm okay too.

624
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna keep on doing it.

625
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: Beautiful Minds five stars. This is from hearty girl, who says,

626
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: I am sad, angry, and disappointed now what happened?

627
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: It has taken me so.

628
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: Long to do a review for one of the most

629
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: relatable podcasts of our times. Effortlessly entertaining, hard working, insightful,

630
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: and smart, Rob and Karen don't necessarily demand their audience

631
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: be better people or agree with their perspective. Instead, they lead

632
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: by example by striving to be better themselves, and that

633
00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: is inspiring as hell.

634
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: And then they hold out a hand to.

635
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: The rest of us episode at the episode and say

636
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: you can come with us if you want to. I

637
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: cannot express enough how much I truly believe Ron and

638
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: Karen act with the best of intentions and our hot

639
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: take culture. Intentions are unpopular and inconvenient, and mostly because

640
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: of a few who hide behind them to avoid accountability.

641
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: But if we're really if we're really honest, we dismissed

642
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: intentions because to value them will require we have patience

643
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: and compassion to consider the humanity of imperfect people and

644
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: view societal issues with nuance. Oh and they are funny.

645
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: They've managed to find the right balance of breath and

646
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: depth when covering pop culture, news and politics, and they

647
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: always find the funny angle, even if it's just a

648
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: key from crime. Also, if you listen over time to

649
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: black Out Tips, you get to know Roger and Karen's

650
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: our individuals and as a couple without feeling like the

651
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: podcast is just a way to compliment themselves or air

652
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: their grites with the world. When we're not all doing

653
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 1: Karen going a rank earned. They are genuinely interested in

654
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: and passionate about the subjects of their fury. Moreover, as

655
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: a born and bred Southern Black woman made in Louisiana,

656
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: live in North Carolina, Hey, Louisiana Fast, I appreciate the

657
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: love that chicken from Papa. I'm sorry I had to

658
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: finish it. I appreciate the representation. Ps. I'm not only

659
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: a listener, I have been a sponsor trying to wind

660
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: company oh Els Girl. Working with the Blackoutists have been

661
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: a rewarding experience.

662
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: I mean friendly and professional.

663
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: They have always gone above and beyond, often with hilarious results.

664
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: They inject energy and personality into every ad and I'm

665
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: truly grateful. As a small business owner bobbing and weaving

666
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: in this economy, I don't always have a budget to

667
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: demonstrate my gratitude. But I hope this with you helps girl,

668
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: you know it hells. I think her name is Tiffany Im.

669
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. I hope I didn't guess wrong, but

670
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: but absolutely, and you were a pleasure to work with. Man,

671
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: we try to make it easy as possible to do

672
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: advertising stuff with us.

673
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: But you know, it's just a fine line because like.

674
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: It's just fine, like because one, you have a rate

675
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: that you should earn, right, and black people we always

676
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: taken less for doing the same, if not more work. Right.

677
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: And there's a small business owner, I know you understand too,

678
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: Like there's a certain level like yo, in order to

679
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: maintain my integrity, I have to I want to get

680
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: paid my correct rate, right, right. But we've been on

681
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. You know, people are willing to

682
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: work with us. If you know, there's been times where

683
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: people will be like, well I can afford, you know,

684
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: to do an ad for three days, and I'll be like, well,

685
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: let's you know, we'll stretch it to five or something.

686
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: We'll give you a couple free. Depending on what the

687
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: business is, who the person is. There are times where

688
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, I ask the person, what's your budget, you know,

689
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: and we see if we can if there's something we

690
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: can do. Also, you know, refer to the other podcasts

691
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: cause like just because you can't afford our rate, we

692
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: don't ever want it to be like well then, because

693
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: I think other podcasts need help and advertising helps them too,

694
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: but sometimes people just want, you know, just the one

695
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: podcast they listen to it or whatever. I get it.

696
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: So anyway, all that stuff to say, like, you know,

697
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: she was a pleasure to work with. And then it

698
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: was also fun because we were able to like have

699
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: fun with the ad and turn it into like a

700
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: whole show and you know, and I really did enjoy

701
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: and do you know that stuff we still probably got

702
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: wanting there.

703
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we enjoyed going and trying to find some cheese

704
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 4: and crackers.

705
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: Right, It's like, let's make it a thing because like

706
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: the ingenuity and creativity is the thing that makes I

707
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: think advertising dope. Or because I wanted to be fun

708
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: and I wanted to feel different than other shows because

709
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, another show they read sixty seconds on your

710
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: ad and whatever, and there are some ads we have

711
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: to do like that. You know, all of them can't

712
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: be you know, because depending on how you guys don't know.

713
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: But behind the scenes, some of these sponsors are like,

714
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: read our shit exactly, how the fuck we said you

715
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: got sixty seconds? Don't pay all the shit, and don't

716
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: be making no jokes about our shit, Like get in

717
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: there and get it out right, and you never want

718
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: to like make them not get their money's worse.

719
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: So we you know, for them people, we do it

720
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: that way. But you know, we had fun.

721
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we used to do bebble. I made a

722
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: bebel wrap one time, like so yeah, and I'm glad

723
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: to hear a sponsor has appreciated us going above and

724
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: beyond and doing the extra thing instead of just doing

725
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: the live read or or not the liveries aren't good.

726
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: We're good at that too, but you know, I appreciate

727
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,000

752
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,359

753
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 4: you but here you go, here's the go go. But

754

Speaker 4: there was plenty of food.

755
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: It's no way we knew all them people. Okay, it

756
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: was a good ten to twelve people. I knew that.

757
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: I knew they didn't know nobody because they came in

758
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: like suits and shit. I said, hold up, who these

759
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,080

Speaker 1: are you? Oh? Man?

763
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes I wish I had.

764
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: A TV show because I could make a whole episode

765
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: about going to church just because you miss black food. Like,

766
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be a thing? Like you go like you

767
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: not even you don't even believe in it, but you

768
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: just you just keep coming up with excuses to hit

769
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: that at the church meal, try to slide in, slide out.

770
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,479
Speaker 1: That would be a funny TV show. Yes, Karen puts

771
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: something on my mind when she brought up the old

772
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Negro adage, I'll beat the brakes off of you.

773
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: What does this phrase really mean?

774
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: Right?

775
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 2: I believe I'll come up with the answer.

776
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: When one is going to beat the brakes off of you,

Speaker 1: think people should really take it to account. It was like,

936
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: there's a difference between critique and condemnation, right, and people

937
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: need to figure out which one it is they want

938
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: and which one they're doing.

939
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 2: I don't think people are critiquing Tyler Perry.

940
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: I think they're condemning him, and they wish it didn't exist,

941
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: and they wish his work didn't exist. I think at

942
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: this point, you're the one that's being unrealistic. If you

943
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: say I watched a new movie and I didn't like it,

944
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna watch the next and I'm gonna complain

945
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: about that, now, you're unrealistic.

946
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 2: I just want you to be healthy and safe.

947
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: That's all. I tried my best to watch the new

948
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: movie because people said it was his best work. No,

949
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: no one said that. No one said that. You know,

950
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: no one said that Pancho. Let's be honest. That's not

951
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: the viral. The movie went viral with people saying it

952
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: was his worst work. Right, People was taking pictures of wigs.

953
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: There was not one single review you read that said

954
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: it was good. Let's just start with the lies. Man,

955
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: we gotta be real. If you're gonna write into the show,

956
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: just the man, raw intentional honesty. That's all.

957
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: All I seen was jokes. That's how I even knew

958
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 3: it was up.

959
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: The jokes. Yeah, maybe they laughingly say it was his

960
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: best work on some like it's the best satirical, like

961
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: the best one to mock. But no one, no one's

962
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: saying this is his best work. I haven't seen one

963
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: person say that. Nope, And I know there's always a

964
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: person that says everything. I haven't even seen that, motherfucker right.

965
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 3: It always pops up like.

966
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: There's not even Like on Twitter, there's always someone going

967
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: viral because everyone disagrees with them and they keep retweeting

968
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: it over and over. Not one person like, I'm sorry,

969
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: but it's not We all know that's not true.

970
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: Anyway.

971
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: I could only make it to the fifteen minute mark.

972
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: My question is why can't he be both do both

973
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: high quality for the niggas who like Atlanta, Insecure and

974
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: Blackish and bullshit for the people who like to pay

975
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: his house to pay to have and have nots.

976
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 3: Nope, nope, no, you go.

977
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 4: That's the thing. You don't demand this on other writers.

978
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 4: When you're talking about demand and shit, you don't go

979
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 4: to other people and they go, well, make some shit

980
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 4: for people that are not your audience.

981
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: We don't say makes something for the people that watch

982
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry movies. I don't say that, we go raising

983
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: her lane doing the work she wants to do. We

984
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: don't demand that she represents all black people, and we

985
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: don't bash her. We don't use that as a cudgel

986
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: against her, like you don't represent all black people. And

987
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: the people who do that that do that to every

988
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: black artist. I don't like them me either. I don't

989
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 1: hang out with those kind of black people think they're

990
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: I think those motherfuckers are a real drag man. It's just,

991
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just not good people to be around.

992
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: The people that elevate everything to like this super duper

993
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: cause of like unity of blackness is like, who the

994
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 1: fuck as a creative wants that kind of pressure on them.

995
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: We don't put that pressure on anybody else. So I

996
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: don't like that shit, you know. And down the line,

997
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 1: by the way, if if Leena Waite is a lesbian woman,

998
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't expect her to make all her movies have

999
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: to represent all lesbian or LGBTQ people properly or else

1000
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: fuck her. I don't know why people do that, because

1001
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: once you put that expectation on something, you know, people,

1002
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: no one can live up to it. Because we don't

1003
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: have a unity of opinion, and then you're just using

1004
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: it to you know, like like I said earlier, to

1005
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: condemn them. You're not critiquing, you're condemning.

1006
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just don't want him to exist. And the

1007
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 4: thing is, you know you can always opt out. What

1008
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 4: about you opting out?

1009
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: Right?

1010
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 4: Like you act like they you tyler parients supposed to

1011
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 4: cat it to me? No, no, no, no no no. He's

1012
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 4: a creative and creatives just create, and you, as a consumer,

1013
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 4: you determine if you want to consuming or not.

1014
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: Your first and foremost audience is a creative is typically yourself. Right,

1015
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: So if I like what I put out, y'all can't

1016
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: do shit about it.

1017
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 2: Mm mmm, you know, matter of fact. But what we

1018
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: do is a podcast.

1019
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: We've had people right in with their criticisms and what

1020
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 1: we should do and change, and sometimes, you know, we've

1021
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: taken okay, maybe we can try this, and other times

1022
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: it's been like, yeah, I think I like what I

1023
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: do more than I care what you think about it, right,

1024
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: And people can't relate to that until they're on the

1025
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: other side.

1026
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: But that's how I feel for sure.

1027
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: I don't care what people think about reading Rainbow if

1028
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: I like it more than they more. I like it

1029
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: more than I like their opinion of me. So we

1030
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: do reading your rainbow, now, see what I'm saying.

1031
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 4: You know, So for me is one of those things

1032
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 4: to where like I said, you're making a demand on

1033
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 4: him that you don't make on other creatives, right, and

1034
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 4: you know, and it's also one of them things is

1035
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 4: that you're acting like you you can always not watch

1036
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 4: you can, because that's the thing a lot of times.

1037
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 4: But I just I don't care about what people like

1038
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 4: and don't like like that Like for me, that's not

1039
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 4: the problem. The problem is the people that don't like

1040
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 4: shit are so fucking vocal, right, they were like, I

1041
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 4: don't like it, I don't like it, Okay, Okay, you

1042
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 4: don't like it. Okay, okay, you didn't like the last

1043
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 4: twenty five movies, Okay, calm down about it. Gives a

1044
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 4: fuck that you don't like the twenty sixth movie. And

1045
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 4: that's the part, that's the part that you don't want

1046
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 4: to hear. And I think people telling y'all proud enough

1047
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 4: of you, and.

1048
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: I think they're being dishonest, because who the fuck watches

1049
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: twenty six movies and keeps watching the next one? Talking

1050
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: about they hate it. So at some point, either you

1051
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: line or you're you're one of those people that what

1052
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: they say, repeating the same thing action expecting different results

1053
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: is the definition of insanity. So you're either insane in

1054
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: that way, or you're fucking just lying to everybody, and

1055
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: you actually do secretly love telling everybody how fucking bad

1056
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: it is and how you can grant stand in your

1057
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: blackness and say how bad he is for black people

1058
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: and how great you must be because you hate him

1059
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: so right.

1060
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 4: And also for the average person, when they don't like shit,

1061
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 4: guess what, they don't talk about it, they don't consume it.

1062
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 3: They stay away. Like most people.

1063
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 4: If they go with I don't like this, they might

1064
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 4: say I don't like it, But guess what, that's the

1065
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 4: it for the average person. They're not going to continue

1066
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 4: to consume something that they don't like.

1067
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: Like if we don't like Adam Sandler, no one goes, well,

1068
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,280
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler needs to make a movie for the people

1069
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: that don't like his other movies. Why And then there's

1070
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: always a part that they skip over in this because

1071
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: it's inconvenient.

1072
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 2: Tyler Perry movies make a lot of money.

1073
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: They go, well, you only say he makes a lot

1074
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: of money to defend the fact he's not good. No,

1075
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm agreeing with you. I don't think he's

1076
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 1: very good at it. I don't like the work right

1077
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: for the most part. What I'm saying is, what's the

1078
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: reward system that you want? Because the people that see

1079
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: his name and go, I want to see that shit

1080
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: are not going to like the higher Art Atlanta shit

1081
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: when they go in there.

1082
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 2: They're that audience is gonna feel betrayed.

1083
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 1: No one thinks about this audience because everybody thinks they're

1084
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: better than these southern black women that that church going.

1085
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 2: Everyone thinks they're better than these people.

1086
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: So everyone's like, well, make the fucking Atlanta for like

1087
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: the movie, but with Tyler Perry's name on it, and

1088
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: those people are gonna walk in there and go, that

1089
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: was some bullshit. I want my fart jokes, I want

1090
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: my cussin. Someone didn't nobody popped the cap up in here,

1091
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: like I don't like this. So I think if you

1092
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: really truly respect black people and black art, you have

1093
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: to be like this person found that audience. I'm just

1094
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: not in it. And that's the right. And I'm and

1095
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm cool, not going to see it.

1096
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 4: Right, And the thing is reconciling and being okay with

1097
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 4: it because this is the thing. Tyler Perry overserved and

1098
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 4: super served a market, like like, this is a market

1099
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 4: out there, y'all. That's why he's making so much fucking money.

1100
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 4: And people, I don't understand. You're not his market, and

1101
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 4: so you were, you were never going to be fed

1102
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 4: by what he put out there. He oversaturated a market

1103
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 4: that was dying a straw, a market that was like

1104
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 4: give me something, give me something. He served them and

1105
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 4: so they were dedicated because he actually met their needs.

1106
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 4: It's the same thing with black women Lehanna. Lehanna came

1107
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 4: out with her makeup. She served the underserved market, so

1108
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 4: people paid her money because all of a sudden, I

1109
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 4: can get some shit in my cloth and I don't

1110
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 4: have to mix and blend and all this shit used

1111
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 4: to shades. But Rihanna gets praised for that to write

1112
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 4: because it's makeup. So rye rah rah rah rah Rihanna

1113
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 4: a rye rah rah rah rah. Somebody a black woman

1114
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 4: that that feels this hole and black women kind of

1115
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 4: be like, ooh, I need this, and then they get

1116
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 4: paid as the reward. But for some reason, when it

1117
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 4: comes to Tyler Perry and Henry One and his audience,

1118
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 4: everybody goes, fuck that, fuck that, fuck that, fuck that,

1119
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 4: fuck that. But this audience still needs to be served.

1120
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: Right because what they want, and I truly believe this,

1121
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: they want his audience not to exist.

1122
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 2: Right, They want his work not to exist.

1123
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: They keep talking around it because they know that saying

1124
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: that is essentially, you know, anti black, because they're only

1125
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: saying it under the auspices of blackness. They're not saying

1126
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: it because because there's plenty of terrible quote unquote directors

1127
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: and movie makers that nobody that we like. We just

1128
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: don't see their movies. So if you're not saying, there's

1129
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: a reason and this man has to change everything because

1130
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 1: you need to instill some type of black pride about

1131
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: his work. And I'm just like I checked out on that.

1132
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't need that from him, I don't need that

1133
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: from anybody. To be honest, I like to I think

1134
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: the idea of these people being individuals is probably the

1135
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: most radical fucking idea that can exist in blackness. It's

1136
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: the hardest one to get to and we all have

1137
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: our moments where you just can't make it there with people.

1138
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: But that, to me, that's the ultimate thing is being

1139
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: able to the day that I'm able to say Ben

1140
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: Carson is out here cooning and doing fucked up shit

1141
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: and it has no reflection on me as a black person,

1142
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: That'll be the day that I feel really free until

1143
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, until then, I'm always trying to get everybody

1144
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 1: to have to essentially live up to some level of respectability.

1145
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. I'm not just saying individually I

1146
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: don't like your work. I'm going you must change your

1147
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: work for the goodness of the race. Well, then that's

1148
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: not really.

1149
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 4: Freedom, no, and diversity, And the thing is people going

1150
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 4: out a monolift. Well, being not a monolift means everything

1151
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 4: don't have to be high art fart jokes is the

1152
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 4: part of the monolitht too, you know, telling Ranchi's stories

1153
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 4: and sex stories. That's black shit too. Black people don't

1154
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 4: And the thing is, y'all lie about so much stuff

1155
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 4: because the shit that y'all quote Q A lot of

1156
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 4: people claim they won't people won't fucking watch, right, you

1157
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 4: don't watch.

1158
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: The shit, And where's the money coming from then? Right? Like,

1159
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: no one likes to These are the questions people don't

1160
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: like to answer, man like when they have these critiqueses.

1161
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: So why should he listen to you? Because it's gonna

1162
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 1: come down to some black respectability shit. There's no good

1163
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: answer for why he should have to listen to you.

1164
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: That's not couching some level of I find this to

1165
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: kind of be embarrassing to me personally as a black person,

1166
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: because there's no fucking reason he should listen to you.

1167
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: He already told you he don't care about white people awards, right,

1168
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: he said, Well, y'all was worried about to see at

1169
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: the table. I made my own table. He don't care

1170
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: about that, So you just have for me personally, I

1171
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: reconcile it by I respect that man's path that he

1172
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: is taking on his own. Not a big fan of

1173
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: his work, don't mind that he exists, don't not bother

1174
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 1: about it at all at all. And if I find

1175
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: something reprehensible or whatever, I don't watch it. But guess what,

1176
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't watch anything reprehensible. I don't like by people,

1177
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: so it's not you know. And then and I take

1178
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: it one step further. Sometimes I enjoy bad shit, correct,

1179
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna partake in this bad shit because I

1180
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: find it to be enjoyable and it's a shame that,

1181
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: you know everybody can't get like me and find their

1182
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: happiness in it. But cool, but you're watching this literally

1183
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: with your fucking like respectability lenses on, being like, I

1184
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: need this dude to do something for blackness. That's it.

1185
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: Don't forget that him and Oprah even had a fallen

1186
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: out because she wanted him to get writers one. I

1187
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: have not heard that story, but I don't care. Y'all

1188
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: don't like Oprah every other week too? So what the

1189
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: fuck today? Today? Oh man, I gotta listen to Over.

1190
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is gonna be she better than run for president?

1191
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: And then the next day she all him doing documentaries

1192
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: about black men, the sexual predators? What about Harvey Watson?

1193
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what the funck y'all don't think about

1194
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: Over next week? I like Over too, so I'll just

1195
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: leave it at that. I don't really have a problem

1196
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: with Oprah either. I got love for him, but I

1197
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: do want him to do better and think that everybody's

1198
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: criticism about his work, No, it's not I put it

1199
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,919
Speaker 1: this way. I don't know you, Pancho, Maybe you really

1200
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 1: are the last and the most unique nigga on the earth,

1201
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: and you truly do think fifty movies in He's gonna

1202
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: get it, right you, Maybe that's really how you feel.

1203
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: I don't know you, so I can't say. But not

1204
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: knowing you and knowing people that have said this same.

1205
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 3: Thing, right, that's what I'm speaking.

1206
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: I know this much. I don't believe you, and I

1207
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: don't believe them either. I don't give a fuck it.

1208
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: They could be my best fucking friend. They can tell

1209
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: me that shit to my face, and I'm gonna tell them.

1210
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: I think you're lying, either in denial or because I

1211
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: don't want to say you're dumb. But I mean, I

1212
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: made this analogy or just another day. It's like watching

1213
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: the NBA. I'm watching James Harden. I know how James

1214
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: Harden plays. Imagine that I keep going, well, I'm waiting

1215
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: for the day when he stops playing like James Harden

1216
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: and starts playing like another NBA player that I do like,

1217
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. I'm the one who's you would look at

1218
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: me and be like, Ron, what the fuck is wrong

1219
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: with you? This dude has won two MVPs and or

1220
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck and he's averaged the most points in

1221
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: the NBA. This is his game and this is how

1222
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna play it for as long as he can.

1223
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 2: And I go now.

1224
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: But I think if he plays like Lebron James, you

1225
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: will be like Rod Something. You're gonna go crazy watching

1226
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: this man's games, getting upset every time you watch him play.

1227
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna I'm saying this as a friend, don't do

1228
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: it right. That's how I feel like my friends would

1229
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: tell me if they saw me hating on James Harden

1230
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: day in day out, right. I feel like that's what

1231
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: y'all are doing with Tyler Perry. I feel like you

1232
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: are my friend who has a fucked up significant other

1233
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: who you love to complain about, but you won't break

1234
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: up with them. And god damn it, I got a lot.

1281
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 4: hated it.

1282
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:08,120

01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,840

1291
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: I just simply cannot believe you, and I don't feel

1292
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: like you're being honest with yourself. I think if you're

1293
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: honest with yourself, you'd realize that it's not about hoping

1294
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: he gets better. It's really about hoping he goes away.

1295
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 3: Right and doesn't exist.

1296
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,920

1299
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? So you think he gonna pick people they do

1300
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: the opposite working him. No, he's gonna pick people they

1301

Speaker 1: do shit like he likes for his audience, who likes

1302
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,520

1307
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,600

1308
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: the Madden Curves this year that Rod so eloquently pointed

1309
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: out earlier in the season, they delivered some of the

1310
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: most entertaining football games in the last two seasons to

1311
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: reach back to back ALC championship games, and Justin is

1312
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: talking like there may be a pickup game of touch

1313
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: football going on later at the park.

1314
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,200

Speaker 1: Karen Justin about the epic Kansas City Chiefs come back

1317
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texas. That hurt. But maybe it's my

1318
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: fault for not writing into the show. Okay, before we

01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Uh, that hate that I wasn't joining in the protest

1346
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,320

1347
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: football as much because I just don't. It's not as

1348
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: good as it used to be. So anyway, I haven't

1349
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: been watching the games. I've seen some of that comeback

1350

Speaker 2: The Titan shouldn't even be out there with Kansas City.

1356
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: Kansas is too good and honestly the only thing that

1357
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: can happen coming out of this Super Bowl. I mean

1358
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,080

Speaker 1: Felix says. Really love to reading Rainbow segment. I keep

1523
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: finding myself starting to get mad at things I see

1524
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: on the news of social media, and catching myself and

1525
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 1: just logging off for Twitter or turning up off the

1526
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: news before I stress myself out. Even with using social

1527
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: media way less than I used to, every time I

1528
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: took a look at it, it's always gets harder than

1529
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: not to not just keep strolling scrolling, which is very bad,

1530
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 1: especially when the time I can spend doing creative things

1531
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 1: is limited. You both really hit the nail on the

1532
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: head with the discussion. Thank you.

1533
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, another thing I've been doing lately.

1534
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 1: I didn't realize they added this feature on Facebook, and

1535
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: maybe they've been at it. I just didn't realize it.

1536
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: But you can like choose to unfollow people in your

1537
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: main feed without unfriending them, so you'll have to worry

1538
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 1: about their hurt feelings.

1539
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 3: And it's the best shit ever. I actually used that

1540
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 3: a lot.

1541
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, because some of these people man like I find

1542
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the algorithm though, because I'm sure they

1543
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: find me too much as well, But it's like they

1544
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: like It's like Facebook seeks out these people that like

1545
01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: you got to interact with this, look at their opinion

1546
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: on this, and I I.

1547
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 4: Got the most interacting okay, bitch and positive.

1548
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: So I just unfollow a lot of people now trade

1549
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: right saying thanks for the reading rainbow segment. I think

1550
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 1: one of the key things is obviously people not falling

1551
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: for the butan and the tailpipe. It bothers my mind

1552
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: when I see folks on social media less strangers take

1553
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,640
Speaker 1: them to that stressful last place. Roy, you always make

1554
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: a good point of pointing this out on the show

1555
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: that you never know what a person's motives are for

1556
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:27,719
Speaker 1: posting wild shit online. Yeah, you don't.

1557
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 5: Man.

1558
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 1: The other thing I'm realizing too, man Like, it's about

1559
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: that time for the primaries. They're heating up and people's

1560
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,759
Speaker 1: opposition research is starting to come to a head. And

1561
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, the fans online that that do the kind

1562
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 1: of culture personality thing for these politicians are going back

1563
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 1: and forth. And one of the things I realize is

1564
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: I can post an article an opinion and I just

1565
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: don't have to interact with you. No, I don't.

1566
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 2: I don't owe it to anybody because not everyone's in good.

1567
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 3: Faith interaction is not guaranteed, nor is the promise.

1568
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: I prefer to talk to people I know perfect her,

1569
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: hopefully in real life, or not at all. And so

1570
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's why I put on my quality filter.

1571
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not normally in my mentions going back

1572
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 1: and forth with people anymore, because it's just like it

1573
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 1: was not healthy. It was I was in a bad place.

1574
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 2: It's putting me in a bad place. And anger feels

1575
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 2: like power.

1576
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: So at that time, I never felt like I was

1577
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 1: in a bad place, but I was, and I only

1578
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: know so now in hindsight, well, I'm like, I shouldn't

1579
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: have been arying with some fucking like anime avatar nigga

1580
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 1: all day. What that's not good anime in animal right.

1581
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:37,599
Speaker 2: Landscapes do with SHA's and hat on. It's just it's

1582
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 2: a bunch of just.

1583
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 3: No horizons of the sun coming up, note right, and

1584
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 3: some of that.

1585
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,759
Speaker 1: Some of those people are gonna be good people, real people.

1586
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,759
Speaker 1: I don't care put your face in your fucking avatar.

1587
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: What's going on with everybody? Like, whether you're saying online

1588
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 1: is so scared you gotta be like, I'm just gonna

1589
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: make myself a cartoon because don't nobody need to know.

1590
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 2: I'm over here saying this ship. I'm scared, like I don't.

1591
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: Like that shit.

1592
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 2: I don't like that shit.

1593
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: Oh it just a way to be like not just

1594
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 1: the just all cartoon avatars, No, like be a real person.

1595
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 4: Eagles flag.

1596
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe a caricature of yourself would be okay, but

1597
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 1: not know like Bob's Burgers is yelling at me talking

1598
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 1: about I don't see what's wrong with Joe Rogan saying

1599
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 1: the N word.

1600
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 2: You know what, I don't want to talk to you.

1601
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: No, okay, I don't believe sk Chiha would have this opinion,

1602
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna need you to cheer.

1603
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 3: He would actually be against this, right.

1604
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 2: Listen to the Leaf Village.

1605
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 1: We listened to Joe Rogan's podcast all day and we

1606
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: don't have no problem with him.

1607
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 3: Now, Retold would not go for that.

1608
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 1: One thing I learned for myself is to try, and

1609
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 1: I stress, try to use the platforms for good in

1610
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: some kind of way, whether it's bringing awareness and causes

1611
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: are justly adjustice situations, or in my case, I used

1612
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: to educate myself or get advice from pro filmmakers. The

1613
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 1: screenwriters will follow on Twitter use a platform for some

1614
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: kind of good. That's smart if you can, and just

1615
01:14:58,280 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 1: keep stroggling past the bad.

1616
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 2: Thanks again, Ryan Caaren.

1617
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be honest, man, Like what I'm trying to do,

1618
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:06,719
Speaker 1: and it's hard because you know, I'm a human being,

1619
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 1: and it's like the quickest thing you can do is

1620
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: just like fire for tweet or something. But what I'm

1621
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: trying to do is try to remember my lane is funny, right,

1622
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 1: and go back to like what can I I don't

1623
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: mind commenting on things, but what how did I get

1624
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: to the funny end of thing rather than the first thing?

1625
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 2: Because the first thing I think most of.

1626
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 1: The time is not funny, especially when it's something serious,

1627
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 1: like I'm normally I'm pretty mad, but I can point

1628
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 1: out the irony or the funniness or the this is

1629
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 1: like this or people say this thing but then they

1630
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: do this thing. You guys, hear it on the show

1631
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 1: out the time. I'm sure something y'all sick of it.

1632
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: But that's how that's how my brain works, and that's

1633
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: what the fuck I'm gonna do, you know. So if

1634
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: I can find that, I don't mind talking as much.

1635
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: But sometimes I can't find it, and there's topics I

1636
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:54,879
Speaker 1: just don't talk about because I'm like, this shit is stupid,

1637
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 1: or what I'm gonna say is so obvious and not funny.

1638
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 1: I just don't want to contribute. And then sometimes and

1639
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: then sometimes the joker hit me. I'm like, boom, that's

1640
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 1: that's the joke. So Evie says, I really love the

1641
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: joy in your voice when you sing reading Rainbow parents

1642
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: see Here we go, Here we go, And that's why

1643
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Rbye sucks. It's my new favorite segment because not only

1644
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 1: do I learn things, I get my life when you

1645
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: sing the song. I saw the latest Tyler Perry movie

1646
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: on Netflix and there was a hot ass mess and

1647
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: I loved every minute of it because I laughed and laughed.

1648
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,520
Speaker 1: The key to watching Tyler Perry movies is suspend disbelief,

1649
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 1: don't try to think hard about it, or else they're

1650
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: not as enjoyable. Yeah, I mean, I'm just here for

1651
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: my stories. Honestly, I want Tyler. Netflix would put this

1652
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: out in the theaters for a week. I'll go see it.

1653
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,719
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. Is a Fathom event, I'll

1654
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: go see it. Yeah, I'll pay the extra money. I'll

1655
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: go see it with my folks. If the Black House'll

1656
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: be fun. If we could rent out of theater and

1657
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: sell the tickets and just have a private screening of Tyler.

1658
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: I would to this for the folks, for the culture,

1659
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: for the people that give a fuck, that want to

1660
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: have a good time, and for the ones that hate.

1661
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 1: I'll show you how to have a good time. It's

1662
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 1: so much more fun than what you're doing. Like, Damn,

1663
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: nobody think it's good, but we do. We are gonna

1664
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: have our fun, sir, last or not least. I'm probably

1665
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 1: gonna get called a kun for this, But during the

1666
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 1: white people segment, in my opinion, I like the original

1667
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: white versions of the song versus the covers. Although the

1668
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: black covers are way better than when white people cover

1669
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: black songs, still some of those white songs slap. Please

1670
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: don't come for me, Wally D. Listen. I'm not gonna

1671
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: say a single bad thing about you. Ev That's your prerogative,

1672
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: and that's fine with me. I feel like it lends

1673
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: to equality that we have diverse opinions of people that

1674
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: write into the show, So don't feel bad about that

1675
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: at all.

1676
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 3: Anybody don't always agree with us.

1677
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: What I will say is this, people that are listening

1678
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: to the show. This is the motherfuckers that talk about

1679
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: Arby's is good. Arrest my fucking case. Let's get to

1680
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: the pole. That's all. Leader. Okay, Uh did you get

1681
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:13,719
Speaker 1: a bonus? Did you get a bonus at your job? Yes? No,

1682
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't have a job. Care No, you know, I

1683
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: don't get a bonus. Is we pay ourselves?

1684
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 2: Although, could I give myself a bonus?

1685
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 3: Yes, you could if you want to be taxing abut

1686
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 3: your rate?

1687
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right, the tax implication. Now, Ima, I'm gonna.

1688
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Just keep paying myself the same amount.

1689
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 3: Of digging in North Carolina, they with that bonus.

1690

Speaker 1: I mean, I would feel sad for you, but twenty

1714
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:38,000

Speaker 1: So you congratulates, I guess says you love it so much?

1720
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 2: Guys, I leaped out just now fucked up my own.

1721
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: Good feeling of jokes.

1722
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,639
Speaker 2: It was like, but what if her feelings are hurt

1723
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 2: from these jokes?

1724
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: Like, oh god, no, she's been around long enough Stefan says, Hi, guys,

1725
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 1: I just had a question for Rod. I heard you

1726
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: mention you watched The Leftovers. I'm a huge fan of

1727
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 1: the show. However, the show had so much going on

1728
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: the last four episodes had me kind of confused on

1729
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: some things. However, I just wanted to know what did

1730
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,679
Speaker 1: you think of the show overall? How did you feel

1731
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: about the ending and were you satisfied with how it ended?

1732
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, oh Man. I really enjoyed the show because

1733
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 2: of the ending.

1734
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,719
Speaker 1: I appreciate the ending because I guess it's a spoiler,

1735
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: but it's old right for five years now. So the

1736
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: idea of like this alternate dimensioned Earth where the half

1737
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: the people had gone and the other half of the

1738
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 1: people had stayed on the Earth that we originally saw,

1739
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: and I actually liked that. I thought it for a

1740
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: Lindelophs show, I had low expectations. I didn't think we

1741
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: would even get any real answers. I thought he's gonna

1742
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 1: end it with the like it's really about the journey,

1743
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: and no, he gave us definitive answers.

1744
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 2: I do Lindelof.

1745
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: Just like Lost I found the Leftover was a little

1746
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 1: tedious and we need to keep coming up with questions

1747
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: that are the answers to other questions thing. But between

1748
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: the acting performances and that ending, I felt that it

1749
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: was enough of a payoff for me to at least

1750
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: ad meant it was a huge improvement over Lost for me.

1751
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 1: That being said, it does not even compare to Watchmen.

1752
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: To me, Watchmen was fucking fantastic. Ten out of ten.

1753
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 1: I'd say Leftovers is probably like seven out of ten

1754
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 1: for me, maybe six out of ten because there is

1755
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 1: a long wait for some of these answers and the

1756
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: answering questions with question thing is where and that joint

1757
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: also had a magical Negro type thing happening in it

1758
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 1: with some like niggas was it's like this witch that

1759
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: happens to be black and this other person to the

1760
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: future and the black and there's other I'm like, that's

1761
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 1: happening with all the black people with the powers. But

1762
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, I other than that, I mean, I really

1763
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: like the show, to be honest, man, I And it

1764
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 1: introduced me to uh some some some good actors and stuff.

1829
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 3: And I'm like, here's why, because all the stuff happened

1830
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 3: in this month.

1831
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 1: I'm literally saving it like a treat. Okay, looking forward

1832
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 1: to this. Also, I'm so sorry to hear about Karen's mother.

01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 2: she knows.

1837
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. And Crystal says Uncle Tom history, Uh hello rider.

1838
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: Karen was perusing Facebook it came across this article. It's

1839
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: very interesting as it discusses the history of Uncle Tom

1840
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 1: and the man who inspired the story. I think of

1841
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: the rewriting of history often. Yeah, because that's that's the

1842
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 1: thing that's not well known. We call people uncle Tom's

1843
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: but Uncle Tom and Uncle Tom's cabin was not a coon.

1844
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:58,480
Speaker 1: We just like somehow it became known through common nomenclature

1845
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 1: or whatever, through you know, the rebranding and shit, Like

1846
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: I think it's done like the seventies Black Power movement,

1847
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: that the term uncle Tom became this pejorative thing of

1848
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: like this motherfucker's and Uncle Tom. But then if you

1849
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: read the book, is like Uncle Tom was just a

1850
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 1: black man trying to do his best. He wasn't out

1851
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: here like selling out his people and shit. I think

1852
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 1: of writing about history often when they are changing the

1853
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: narrative of the textbooks, and obviously everyone is in the uproar,

1854
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 1: but we don't think about the true applications of this.

1855
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: And one hundred to two hundred years when people think

1856
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: slavery truly was just a work for slaves who were

1857
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: paid in food and shelter, because that's what the textbooks

1858
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: told them, and people are wondering why African Americans are

1859
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 1: so angry about it. This is how it happens. I

1860
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: haven't researched the validity of this article, but wanted to

1861
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: share to find out if y'all knew all this. I

1862
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: certainly didn't, but do often wonder the true origins of

1863
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,799
Speaker 1: the certain words koon, uncle Tom, etc. Yeah. I didn't

1864
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: get a chance to read this whole thing yet. It's

1865
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 1: on Urban Intellectuals, so I don't know. This is not

1866
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 1: a site that I'm familiar with the validity of it.

1867
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 2: Or not, so, but yeah, you can google it.

1868
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: Man.

1869
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 2: It's like Uncle Tom's cabin is.

1870
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 1: Not what people what you would think with the way

1871
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:17,480
Speaker 1: we think of Uncle Tom.

1872
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 2: You know, now you know what I'm saying. Yeah, HARRYT

1873
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 2: beat your stove ro That.

1874
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: Is. Stowe's melodramatic story humanized a suffering of slavery for

1875
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 1: white audiences by portraying Thomas a Jesus like figure who

1876
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 1: ultimately is martyred beating it up by a cruel master

1877
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: because he refuses to betray to whereabouts the two women

1878
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:37,640
Speaker 1: who had escaped from slavery. Right, But uh, that's not

1879
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: that's not at all what the definition of an Uncle

1880
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 1: Tom is, you know. So anyway, that's it for today's episode,

1881
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 1: except for one thing.

1882
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,559
