Speaker 1: a lot of this because I said this morning, I
Speaker 1: did a prequel all coffee time too for you guys.
Speaker 1: Homework was for you all to come on and tell
Speaker 1: us who, what, when, white and where because a lot
Speaker 1: of people go I noticed in black history because they
Speaker 1: don't even make the history book per se, but a
Speaker 1: lot of people know about because I didn't know French
Speaker 1: fries were created by black person. I knew the street
Speaker 1: lights was though to stop like, but I didn't know
Speaker 1: French fries. I knew peanut, but it was I know
Speaker 1: was the sin it is. I don't know how they
Speaker 1: play mets and feeling having a hard time seeing you
Speaker 1: like I've only seen the glasses there we are, so
Speaker 1: I just need you to make sure, make sure to
Speaker 1: stay are I don't know if Laura was smelling good.
Speaker 1: I want to be all up on her. She smell
Speaker 1: like our sales and writing didn't bring me. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, place that I go to, I didn't bring
Speaker 1: her a plate. That's just shade they would have kept overnight.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, asking for a friend. Can
Speaker 1: you tell that I have on no makeup. I'm just
Speaker 1: going to say this. I continue to be impressed with you,
Speaker 1: and I know that we are going to go through
Speaker 1: this in our hot topics as we moved to the show.
Speaker 1: But I was one of the hundreds who tuned in
Speaker 1: this weekend to catch you in the burlesque show for
Speaker 1: HP and the International Condom Day campaign and Flame, You're
Speaker 1: fantastic just watching you move and do what you do.
Speaker 1: And it's so funny because I'm like, wait, but that's
Speaker 1: still my flame. But this is a whole different players.
Speaker 1: The level of professionalism, just the way you move, the
Speaker 1: way you engage. I thought it was absolutely fantastic. We
Speaker 1: felt like we were Did you guys watch the international
Speaker 1: kind of the campaign? It's on YouTube right now too.
Speaker 1: And that's how I met Lauren Hogan. I met Lauren
Speaker 1: last year because she was over that. She still works
Speaker 1: for HP, but she's not in that department, and she
Speaker 1: was over and we were on the road and we
Speaker 1: had a great time bonding and those kids were so
Speaker 1: let's talk about those dances. Those kids are professional, so nice,
Speaker 1: all young, all younger than me anyway, and Arthur Robinson
Speaker 1: and all the people involved, everybody just worked it on. Now, Sarah,
Speaker 1: it was it was great. Thank you again Michael ain't
Speaker 1: Stein and HF four bringing me back one more and
Speaker 1: again for another successful show. If y'all want me next year,
Speaker 1: y'all have to come a little harder. I'm just let
Speaker 1: y'all know I'm answer. But thank you guys for watching
Speaker 1: the show. It was free and it's for a great cause.
Speaker 1: And uh, I appreciate. I had a good time. I
Speaker 1: was in the heels for twelve hours, four days out
Speaker 1: the week. Yeah, I cussed for us talk plenty of ship.
Speaker 1: But the check clear from Michael Weinstein. Thank you, Michael Weinstey.
Speaker 1: Michael Weinstein is the CEO of A's Healthcare Foundation's health
Speaker 1: Care Foundation, if you guys didn't know that, and he
Speaker 1: is officially and unofficially my Jewish husband. There you go,
Speaker 1: there you go. Let me let me tell you why
Speaker 1: though he's unofficially her Jewish husbin because the first show
Speaker 1: we did, Flame went and sat on his lap. They
Speaker 1: had a moment. So that's why there was a part
Speaker 1: in the show that you all didn't see from the
Speaker 1: live where I had to go around to collect money
Speaker 1: for donations for HF and I said, I can smell money,
Speaker 1: and I had never seen or met Michael Weinstein. I
Speaker 1: walked straight to him because like I said, I can
Speaker 1: smell money and set right on his lap. And I've
Speaker 1: been an employee everything placy. That would suggest that maybe
Speaker 1: your curves and vivaciousness is what gets you employed. It
Speaker 1: could be all the way he all the way gave
Speaker 1: my curves and vivations. Thanky shipped for him honey truck.
Speaker 1: Last thing before we move on. Also, since last week,
Speaker 1: your queens are back, correct, uh mad Maddie Maddie and
Speaker 1: playing in Cathy. You're gonna suck up my movie before
Speaker 1: the show even get started. Take you out and bring
Speaker 1: you back. You messed up, ridiculous. No, I know you
Speaker 1: missed up, and I'm glad everybody's back because last week
Speaker 1: you were talking about how they were still in the air,
Speaker 1: so at least they may back before the storm that
Speaker 1: caught me. That would have driven you crazy had they
Speaker 1: been trapped out of the city someplace. So everything happens
Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to. Crazy. Now, Well, Lauren, I
Speaker 1: will let you know. I don't have my list in
Speaker 1: front of me today, so I'm gonna need you to time. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you so much Black history, Nicklas, So you you
Speaker 1: tell us a black historian for you that that resonates
Speaker 1: with you and for you and why and give us
Speaker 1: the Rosetta version cleared and to the point. Um. Last week,
Speaker 1: I mentioned Brian Gumble because I said that he was
Speaker 1: the first African American morning anchor on the National Show. UM,
Speaker 1: and someone had commented this, said, NICKI forgot about Max Robinson,
Speaker 1: and I'd like to recognize Max Robinson. Max Robinson was
Speaker 1: the first African American to do an evening broadcast. He
Speaker 1: did World News Tonight, which Peter Jennings ended up doing. So.
Speaker 1: Max Robinson was the first African American to do an
Speaker 1: evening broadcast. Brian double was the first to do a
Speaker 1: morning show and uh and uh watching him, it was just,
Speaker 1: uh it inspired me to get into TV. That's about
Speaker 1: Black history moment. Uh, Lauren, what about you. Well, actually
Speaker 1: I brought this up to Flame because I thought maybe
Speaker 1: this could be a good topic overall for us discussed
Speaker 1: under the umbrella black history. I was recently watching Glory
Speaker 1: this weekend. Very random, but I was watching Glory and
Speaker 1: of course everybody who's seen the movie with Denzil Washington
Speaker 1: and Morgan Freeman. Um, it's about the fifty four regiment
Speaker 1: Um in the American Civil War, and specifically they were
Speaker 1: the second black regiment Um in the military. And I
Speaker 1: thought it could be interesting because you know, we've had
Speaker 1: conversations about the military on the show. We've had some
Speaker 1: very honest conversation, difference of opinions, but also to um.
Speaker 1: Godfrey was on last week and we were talking about
Speaker 1: black masculinity. So I felt like there was a lot
Speaker 1: of intersecting topics and idea is that we've had discussions on.
Speaker 1: Then I kind of wanted to bring it up. It
Speaker 1: is Black History Month, you know, we may hear about
Speaker 1: it here and there in terms of but I thought
Speaker 1: it could be a good topic for us to discuss
Speaker 1: in terms of the military, um, you know, what was
Speaker 1: going on at that time, and also to the black
Speaker 1: masculinity that was felt very threatened to a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, people who were white at that time. So
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Well who I ain't got, nobody
Speaker 1: who I got? I watched Harriet Tubman this week. Harriet
Speaker 1: Tubman is my Black American choice because I officially believe
Speaker 1: that Harriet Tubman was the first trans man ever. I
Speaker 1: don't believe that she was actually a trans man or
Speaker 1: that she identified as male, but they were looking for
Speaker 1: a young, a short black man that was helping slaves escape,
Speaker 1: so she couldn't have been the most girly looking, which
Speaker 1: worked in her favorite because Harriet Tubman's freed over a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty slaves, so they were looking for a
Speaker 1: young man. They never knew that it was a woman.
Speaker 1: For a long time, they didn't know that Harriet was
Speaker 1: a woman. And this is according to history, and according
Speaker 1: to the movie the movie sugar coated it a lot.
Speaker 1: But according to the record books, they were looking for
Speaker 1: a very short man. Harry was a woman with a purpose,
Speaker 1: and she was a black woman. It seems like black
Speaker 1: women have been saving the day for such a long time,
Speaker 1: which is probably why I aspired to be a black woman.
Speaker 1: I'll go figure absolutely, Black women have been saving us
Speaker 1: for millennia, and I think that, uh, we all know
Speaker 1: that in many regards, you know, so yeah, definitely we
Speaker 1: don't need to look any further than this last if
Speaker 1: you ask me, the senators from Georgia, I think have
Speaker 1: a lot to do with the power and strength of
Speaker 1: black women motivating the base. Well, we're gonna bring in
Speaker 1: some flame mystic and we want to know who what
Speaker 1: we're wearing why, because a lot of them gonna bring
Speaker 1: in that was at homework this morning to tell us
Speaker 1: about history black and his story is that we don't know.
Speaker 1: If I want somebody talk about who discovered Chicago? Do Sabo?
Speaker 1: Then he discovered Chica or he was the founders. He's
Speaker 1: considered the founder of Chicago. Yep, I bet you he
Speaker 1: found the south Side. I bet you he found your
Speaker 1: driving and he lived there. He could even afford to
Speaker 1: live there. He found no damn south Side. He found
Speaker 1: it Lake Shaw Drift, and y'all took it over and
Speaker 1: made the rent you half for us to live there.
Speaker 1: I say what I say, Okay, we're gonna bring back
Speaker 1: all right, by bye, we created some ship. Then I
Speaker 1: can't afford people on your phone. She don't have android
Speaker 1: she got did you watch the Fred Hampton movie? No,
Speaker 1: who's coming on to tell us about some black history?
Speaker 1: Who's gonna? Oh? You know who I was having a
Speaker 1: good conversation with this morning. Is he on here? The
Speaker 1: baby's daddy? Markey? Mark? He was telling us a yeah, Michael,
Speaker 1: But Michael was talking about his husband having a um
Speaker 1: taking the taking the back then, Yeah, I ain't taking
Speaker 1: no damn back sage ChIL Yeah, back with my Holley.
Speaker 1: Let me bring she's not going thing. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get market man for you. What's his Instagram name? Market
Speaker 1: cameras there. I'm just searching names at this point. Hold honestly, Mark,
Speaker 1: and he better have a shirt on because he ain't
Speaker 1: putting no ring on it. Let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: let me stall the titles, let me own it. I
Speaker 1: can guarantee you that that nig didn't put a ring
Speaker 1: around it quite a few times. Listen, I don't believe
Speaker 1: in marriage. We can't see you. We see a steeler
Speaker 1: from me. I don't want to get a having a
Speaker 1: shirt on. Can you hear me? Now? I hear you?
Speaker 1: Just we come out here talk something. Bay ain't the
Speaker 1: husband he might not to put a ring on it,
Speaker 1: but I guarantee you he didn't put some rings around it.
Speaker 1: Now I married myself anyways, nigger, that's a script of
Speaker 1: I ever heard what you it's and Mike, and I
Speaker 1: know that you have uh like mark you mark you
Speaker 1: a mixture. You gotta hold you a muddy. You like
Speaker 1: all the rest of us. We all mutch for real.
Speaker 1: So what black history mains of you? Who? What black history?
Speaker 1: Can you tell us about it? Because I'm about to
Speaker 1: ask you about this vack sage so that let's go
Speaker 1: to black history first. But believe it or not, I'm
Speaker 1: actually like you there, Urine. Where I was raised, black
Speaker 1: history was never taught. Um, it was never taught in
Speaker 1: my schools. I don't even have one memory besides obviously MLK,
Speaker 1: of learning about black history. And I'll be completely honest,
Speaker 1: listening to T T and so many people on here
Speaker 1: has enlightened me so much more about black history and
Speaker 1: just sort of the real fight because you always hear
Speaker 1: about it, but it seems like when you hear about
Speaker 1: it from mainstream outlets or social media, it's always from
Speaker 1: like this really uh angry place or bitter place. Do
Speaker 1: you never actually hear it for what it is, if
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So, um, I'm I'm still being educated
Speaker 1: and believe it or not, I personally don't feel that
Speaker 1: I even have the slightest understanding of what black people
Speaker 1: in our country have been through. Um, because I've never
Speaker 1: been I've never been once, I've never had anything racist
Speaker 1: throwing my way. Um. I've always been in circles of everybody.
Speaker 1: I've always Um, I don't know if it's just been
Speaker 1: my my environment. But um, with that being said, who
Speaker 1: I am currently, uh, just in all of is the
Speaker 1: young woman and I'm having a brain fart who was
Speaker 1: the first the poet at the inauguration, who was also
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yeah. She I mean like to me
Speaker 1: that her story and just who she is and the
Speaker 1: way that she is able to communicate via her art
Speaker 1: is just like I I sit there and I'm just
Speaker 1: like a like a little kid listening to a story time.
Speaker 1: It's It's amazing and I love that she has been
Speaker 1: given this platform during this time in our country to
Speaker 1: read the message through a very serious way, but also
Speaker 1: through a way that people can easily listen and understand.
Speaker 1: Can I say that for the one year that you've
Speaker 1: been following me. That was the fairest assessment that you
Speaker 1: have ever given on this platform. And I appreciate you
Speaker 1: for that. And Amanda Gorman is not old Black history,
Speaker 1: but she will be part of this new generation's black history.
Speaker 1: She has established herself as a historian. But Mark, that
Speaker 1: was the fairest assessment of you saying that you don't
Speaker 1: know Black history. And it's not ignorant to say that
Speaker 1: because you don't know. And I appreciate that a lot
Speaker 1: of people, a lot more people should look like and
Speaker 1: look at things like, oh, I don't know. I can't
Speaker 1: speak on it because I don't know. As opposed to
Speaker 1: jumping the gun. You almost lost your Megan McCain card today,
Speaker 1: but you see Megan McCain. They just let's understand to
Speaker 1: what Mark is saying. I actually I agree with him
Speaker 1: because for me, and this is part of the reason
Speaker 1: why I encourage people, if you can and have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to go to ansorrectly Black college because tomorrow point
Speaker 1: a lot of the things that we learned in school,
Speaker 1: it's a very you know, westernized European version of history
Speaker 1: and what's actually taking place. And you know, nine times
Speaker 1: in the time, you don't get the truth. So therefore,
Speaker 1: like when I went to Sting with you, guys all know,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of things that I didn't know.
Speaker 1: Even going to Georgia the first time I told you
Speaker 1: how I didn't recognize who Andrew Young was, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's very important that we have to, you know,
Speaker 1: educate ourselves and teach kids, you know, teach our kids
Speaker 1: the best way we can about black history and all
Speaker 1: the accomplishments that black folks have made in building this
Speaker 1: country that we not North America. So I absolutely agree
Speaker 1: with you, Mark, you know. Okay, So that's one conversation
Speaker 1: to Mark. You Mark'll come, I'm sorry, baby, Come on?
Speaker 1: What was you about to say? Of comments? So there
Speaker 1: was some comments saying, well, obviously I don't care too
Speaker 1: much if I didn't know her name. I knew her name.
Speaker 1: The problem was all I had in my head was
Speaker 1: that Harriet Tubman was the first trans that that those
Speaker 1: comments are irrelevant right now because you talking to me
Speaker 1: and Lauren. You're not talking to them exactly, You're not
Speaker 1: talking to them, You're talking about us. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. Those comments would throw you off. And people
Speaker 1: will always have something to say about what, who had
Speaker 1: what what? Listen to what he said that he was
Speaker 1: unaware and he was unfamiliar. That don't mean that he
Speaker 1: didn't know. Y'all know how many times I mess up names.
Speaker 1: I mess up names everything. I caught somebody the wrong
Speaker 1: name or say the wrong thing. Y'all know what the
Speaker 1: hell are we're talking about. I really do mess up
Speaker 1: names all the time. And it is just a normal
Speaker 1: hiccup from being a human man when your mind is
Speaker 1: going faster than your mouth. So slow down and y'all
Speaker 1: take a cheer peal. Now, let's go to somewhere else.
Speaker 1: Markey Mark, because I need to tell you. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what black history and I want you
Speaker 1: to study Markey Mark. I want you to study that
Speaker 1: Turner because Nat Turner was the beast baby that Turning said,
Speaker 1: y'all ain't with me no more. I'm killing everybody that
Speaker 1: damn the Turner killed everybody, Mark very me. I wonder
Speaker 1: to see a trainee point up, because I know everyone
Speaker 1: else is gonna bring on old black history. Who obviously
Speaker 1: I know I know the standard, right, But my point
Speaker 1: was is that it's crazy that even today there are
Speaker 1: still black people making history. So we're not that far
Speaker 1: advanced as we think we are when it comes to, uh,
Speaker 1: the black story, if that makes sense. That was why
Speaker 1: I specifically highlighted her. So again, pay attention to what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Uh, there's other people who are going to
Speaker 1: be able to speak more educatedly on specifically. We don't
Speaker 1: worry about that. We're talking to you right now and
Speaker 1: we're getting on for that black history because they comments
Speaker 1: is gonna keep coming in because you know, they always
Speaker 1: feel like if you're not black, you can't speak on it.
Speaker 1: That's not true that you can't speak on and you
Speaker 1: can teach other people that are not like you. Y'all
Speaker 1: need to open your mind, so open your heart and
Speaker 1: look at these But I do, I do want to
Speaker 1: say one last thing on what Marcus said though. I
Speaker 1: think that's something else that we do before we get
Speaker 1: off this black history tip. I think that's one thing
Speaker 1: that we do forget though a lot of time, is
Speaker 1: is that all of the civil rights and all of
Speaker 1: you know, enslavery in those things. Yes, slavery was happened
Speaker 1: four hundred years ago, a little over four hundred years ago,
Speaker 1: but a lot of the civil rights and the activism
Speaker 1: in terms of racism that we're still currently dealing with.
Speaker 1: It didn't happen that long ago. I was watching, Uh,
Speaker 1: I saw a video on Instagram about something that happened
Speaker 1: the only four years ago where there was this uh
Speaker 1: black these black kids trying to go down the street
Speaker 1: they were moving into this white neighborhood, and all these
Speaker 1: white calling in the N words and not letting won't
Speaker 1: need to let them ride the bikes down the street.
Speaker 1: And that just happened forty four years ago. So I
Speaker 1: think that's also something too that we forget oftentimes that
Speaker 1: racism in America. Yes, it's so prevalent right now, but
Speaker 1: the real uh you know, deep with racism that our
Speaker 1: country experienced only happened less than fifty years ago. So
Speaker 1: and to that they was not born racist. Racism is
Speaker 1: a learned behavior. Somebody taught you to hate somebody else.
Speaker 1: It starts whoever raising you, whoever's house you in. It
Speaker 1: don't happen necessarily be your mother and father, who's ever
Speaker 1: raising you. Racism is a learned behavior whoever you surround
Speaker 1: yourself with. So if you around surround yourself with racist,
Speaker 1: damn it, you're gonna be racist. Now, Mark, you brought
Speaker 1: up an interesting point this morning we talked about before
Speaker 1: you came on, because Mark's Podner, who is an accredited
Speaker 1: doctor PhD, took the vaccine and me and Mark, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying age about, we are not taking
Speaker 1: a vac thing. So how do you feel about that market? Market?
Speaker 1: Has he persuaded you to cross over? You go take
Speaker 1: the you go take the needle? Uh? Yeah, No. So
Speaker 1: he's an actual medical doctor, so it's not he's he's
Speaker 1: been through medical school and he's a physician. So here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Um, I personally, again I've said this before,
Speaker 1: I feel confident in what I've been doing, and there's
Speaker 1: so much, um lack of trust. I just say with
Speaker 1: the vaccine that if I don't feel comfortable, I don't
Speaker 1: feel good after I was thinking about doing something, I'm
Speaker 1: just not gonna do it, you know. Um. And and
Speaker 1: the real problem that I have with this whole thing
Speaker 1: is the logistics of it all. Um. You know, by
Speaker 1: who's the physician got his vaccine yesterday. They didn't ask
Speaker 1: for his medical license because right now only health care
Speaker 1: workers people sixty five and older are getting it. They
Speaker 1: didn't ask for his if he had an appointment. They
Speaker 1: didn't ask about his medical license. All he had to
Speaker 1: say was I'm a doctor. Here's the other game. They
Speaker 1: don't schedule your second appointment right then the there, So
Speaker 1: you have to schedule your second appointment and hope that
Speaker 1: you get that appointment within the three or four week
Speaker 1: timeframe that is needed. So here's the thing. You're giving
Speaker 1: these people vaccines, not ensuring that they have a second one,
Speaker 1: not ensuring that they're scheduled for a second one, and
Speaker 1: we're supposed to just be like okay. So the logistics
Speaker 1: of it all to me is the most alarming part
Speaker 1: aside from the actual vaccine itself. So there's just there's
Speaker 1: no convincing me. And again, I'm constant around medical professionals,
Speaker 1: medical doctors, UH farmer representatives, and they have tried to
Speaker 1: give give it to me in every possible way. They've
Speaker 1: explained the vaccine and I get it, I understand it,
Speaker 1: but you can't change my mind right now. And that's it,
Speaker 1: because that's what I'm telling you. They were on my
Speaker 1: ass on on some of my social media platforms about
Speaker 1: me pushing this and I'm not pushing anything. My my, my my, my,
Speaker 1: agenda is never to make you change your man. My
Speaker 1: agenda is to make you think for yourself. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: also to actually a New York As of today, there
Speaker 1: um basically trying to allow more individuals the opportunity to
Speaker 1: take the vaccine. So now, if you're between the ages
Speaker 1: of sixteen and sixty five, as long as you have
Speaker 1: pre existing conditions, they're allowing you the opportunity to take
Speaker 1: the vaccine. However, the issue is they don't have a supply, um,
Speaker 1: but they have people wanting to come and take the
Speaker 1: vaccine from age sixteen sixty five with three existing conditions.
Speaker 1: So you ready to take your Oh here's the thing too,
Speaker 1: you know, and and the part going back to I'm
Speaker 1: a tie black history into this. We have an African
Speaker 1: American provider in the office, and you know, they asked
Speaker 1: her like, hey, do I need to get you signed
Speaker 1: up for the vaccine? And she said no. And he's like,
Speaker 1: can I ask why? And she said this Tuskegee experiment.
Speaker 1: So there's so much distrust and you know, this woman
Speaker 1: who's also a educated UH practitioner, she doesn't feel safe
Speaker 1: with it. And it's the it's crazy that if you
Speaker 1: are a person of color in our country. You have
Speaker 1: the second guess our health care system and what they're
Speaker 1: giving to you. You know what Jack that markets. Everybody
Speaker 1: only reverts to the Tuskegee Air, to the ex experiment.
Speaker 1: But when I tell you, there has been so many
Speaker 1: experiments down on black people, on black women. They were
Speaker 1: making black women sterile on purpose so that they couldn't procreate.
Speaker 1: I can't remember what. Mary and sim he was known
Speaker 1: as the father of guynecology, had a whole statue up
Speaker 1: in New York and Central Park and Central Park was
Speaker 1: also um It debilitated an entire village called Seneca Village.
Speaker 1: That's another Black history that we can talk about there too.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Jay, Mary and Sims to Flames Point was
Speaker 1: on as the father of gynecology, and he did all
Speaker 1: of his experiments on black women because black women could
Speaker 1: tolerate Paine versus you know, white women got the anesthesia.
Speaker 1: So but anyway, go ahead. Oh I'm telling you that
Speaker 1: is just what we know publicly. So that's why we're
Speaker 1: here talking. Thank you, Mark. I want to bring them
Speaker 1: on because I'm seeing what they said. Mark. We're gonna
Speaker 1: bring this baby, and we love you. Mike, Mike and
Speaker 1: Marcus my baby daddy, y'all back to your point, just
Speaker 1: want I know you'll touch based on it, going back
Speaker 1: to since when of black people ever been first for
Speaker 1: anything in this country? And now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: wanting to give them that I went first to get
Speaker 1: my stimula check first, to let you I'll put that
Speaker 1: under my aunts. Uh be slam summer. We would like
Speaker 1: to bring you on because we see that you said
Speaker 1: that you just the vaccine, so we would love to
Speaker 1: for five days. I ain't got fat days to you.
Speaker 1: I ain't got fat days to give you. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like we said, we're not trying to get anybody
Speaker 1: to change in their mind once you guys to use
Speaker 1: your mind. But also too, we see the comments of
Speaker 1: you guys saying, well, maybe there's another side to this,
Speaker 1: in another opinion. So this is somebody who actually took
Speaker 1: the vaccine. Let's see if they're able to come on
Speaker 1: and talk with us for a little bit. Look at me, y'all, Oh,
Speaker 1: I look rough and stuff with my afro pup. Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody said that my makeup was flawless. Can I tell
Speaker 1: you thank you so much? Because I ain't got on
Speaker 1: jet this is called wash face, no base. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about the teachers in school, because you know
Speaker 1: they're talking about opening the schools here March the first,
Speaker 1: and all the teachers don't have to be vaccinated. So
Speaker 1: somebody was asking me, do I think that teachers should
Speaker 1: be vaccinated? I'm talking no, that's their choice because just
Speaker 1: because your teacher don't mean that you have to get vaccinated. Baby.
Speaker 1: They got families, they have children, husbands, lives, all of that.
Speaker 1: That it's ridiculous. Bobby Clifford, come on in here, tell
Speaker 1: us something. Tell me sometimecine to tell me how you
Speaker 1: how it did you? Bobby Clifford. Bobby Clifford, tipping me
Speaker 1: tells every day. I love you, Bobby Clifford. Are you
Speaker 1: tell us about this vaccinate you had it? I work
Speaker 1: at mash General Hospital in Boston, and um, they offered
Speaker 1: us the vaccine. It was up to us whether we
Speaker 1: wanted to get it or not. One of the reasons
Speaker 1: that they do that is because we don't have enough
Speaker 1: data on it. So that I work with scientists, right,
Speaker 1: and they want to make sure we have the data.
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to get the vaccine, you could
Speaker 1: get the vaccine. I chose to because I have a
Speaker 1: special need sister that I care for, as well as
Speaker 1: an older mom. I'm the same age as you, flam,
Speaker 1: so I have an older mom that I live with
Speaker 1: exactly so well thirty one, let's not lie. So I
Speaker 1: chose to get it UM, and I was very lucky.
Speaker 1: I have had no symptoms or anything from it. I
Speaker 1: will tell you that we had sent my mom down
Speaker 1: to Florida, UM, down to Naples to be with her sisters,
Speaker 1: to um kind of hang out and try to bypass
Speaker 1: this because they're insular down there amongst themselves. But she
Speaker 1: came home last week, got the vaccine. She didn't quarantine
Speaker 1: like she should have ten days and then get the vaccine.
Speaker 1: She got the vaccine two days later. She had COVID
Speaker 1: within three days. They did tell us because she's only
Speaker 1: fluish that UM. They think that one of the reasons
Speaker 1: that her symptoms are lesser is because she did get
Speaker 1: the vaccine. We don't. Again, we don't know because it's
Speaker 1: not enough data. Well, how is she doing now? Who
Speaker 1: the hell knows? I don't go. I knocked on the
Speaker 1: door and say the food's outside of Lady, come open
Speaker 1: the door and pick it up. I'm not going in
Speaker 1: because I get the special need sister, right, so I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't take the chance. So we were able to
Speaker 1: take that off her plate. I have another sister, the
Speaker 1: three girls. Um, but so I don't go in at all,
Speaker 1: you know, into the apartment. Um, she's only had it
Speaker 1: for a few days. She's losing her mind because you know,
Speaker 1: someone telling her that she can't go outside is she
Speaker 1: wouldn't go outside anyway, but you know the fact that
Speaker 1: we're telling her she can't go outside, she's losing it.
Speaker 1: But she's doing okay. She's sleeping. I would say she's
Speaker 1: sleeping out of a twenty four hour day. She probably
Speaker 1: sleeps twenty hours. So that's how it's affecting it. You know,
Speaker 1: she didn't get it Chris cuomo ish you know those
Speaker 1: horrible hallucinations and everything that he got. Thank god. Um,
Speaker 1: she's got a little bit of a junkie cost. But
Speaker 1: so far, so you know, we're like five days, six
Speaker 1: days in. This is all we have, you know that
Speaker 1: she has. But you got the vaccine as well, though,
Speaker 1: right I did. I did so, I thought the vaccine
Speaker 1: I was I was supposed to get it again today
Speaker 1: my second vaccine. I put it off because my son
Speaker 1: also works at mass Jermo Brigham and he's actually in
Speaker 1: the hospital for something aside. So just so we coordinated
Speaker 1: and we did it together. I'm gonna get it on Thursday,
Speaker 1: so I'll keep you guys posted. And how is the
Speaker 1: first shot though? Because you said you're getting your second one,
Speaker 1: so you know I I mean, I'm a beefy girl.
Speaker 1: So she put it on my arm and I didn't
Speaker 1: even know who was there. You know, I was waiting.
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you gonna give it to me? She goes,
Speaker 1: So what's over? So I am nothing that day the
Speaker 1: next day, and I'm not complaining. This is if somebody
Speaker 1: asked me and then you poked me on my arm.
Speaker 1: It was a little bit sore. That's it. I didn't
Speaker 1: get it. I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna keep my
Speaker 1: eyes on you because this is how I know if
Speaker 1: you went crazy and not behind the vaccine, because you
Speaker 1: tipped me ten dollars every day. Every day she tipped
Speaker 1: me to dollars. If you start tipping me hundreds, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say something wrong with that, lady. If you started
Speaker 1: tipping the thousand and say they went crazy and I
Speaker 1: we were refunded. If you have the sense enough to act,
Speaker 1: But if you don't, I walk. I've last I'm working. Hey,
Speaker 1: the most exciting thing is you said, boobs out of
Speaker 1: my neck. Today, I'll be the happiest girl in town.
Speaker 1: I'll be popular, you know. And I love that you
Speaker 1: watched me. You've been watching me for a long time,
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you I have never pushed for telling
Speaker 1: people not to take it. It is in my own site,
Speaker 1: in my mind. I'm not gonna take it because about
Speaker 1: instagram saying something, I'm sorry, Have you got? I actually
Speaker 1: got so. I've been watching you since the day after
Speaker 1: They Ready Was was released. I loved you when you
Speaker 1: weren't doing these lotses, when you were just doing your
Speaker 1: little five minute flips. And I got this arm thing
Speaker 1: so that I could put the phone upple. I work.
Speaker 1: But I look like I'm looking at the sky. I
Speaker 1: also in the middle of painting my room. It looks
Speaker 1: like tin panale behind me. I don't you know a
Speaker 1: bit of a mouth, So sorry about that. Hopefully the
Speaker 1: luck will be better next time. Can you see it
Speaker 1: looks like that almost like a big big swatches that's
Speaker 1: where I had holes in my wall, so you can't
Speaker 1: even really see it on my end. Oh God, And
Speaker 1: you think you look cute until you're on this and
Speaker 1: you go, oh, no, not so much. You look great.
Speaker 1: You look great. Time I had you know, absolutely having
Speaker 1: the best time watching you. I'm loving you grow and
Speaker 1: flourished flame. It's terrific and you as will, Lauren, this
Speaker 1: is a great opportunity for you. This is the wondering well.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question, Mabby, why I
Speaker 1: have you on here? Thank you? First of all, which
Speaker 1: black historian resonates with you? Christmas at it? So I
Speaker 1: love I did learn Christmas. So he was the first
Speaker 1: American to die for the flag. And he was a black,
Speaker 1: a black and Indian man, Indian being American Indian, I
Speaker 1: just I guess I should first American. I'm sure I'm
Speaker 1: saying not politically correct, but yes he was. He was
Speaker 1: the first person to die. So he was my favorite favorite.
Speaker 1: I did something on him in like foth grade or something,
Speaker 1: and I just loved him. Oh girl, politically correct on
Speaker 1: work on this page, but I got I gotta dick
Speaker 1: and tities. I'm not even anatomically accepted I was trying
Speaker 1: first American. We are praying for your family and your
Speaker 1: sister mom and everybody. You just stay safe. Let us know,
Speaker 1: keep us informed on what happens after that second though,
Speaker 1: because I've heard different stories from different people that the
Speaker 1: second those was a doozy, so you let me know, abody.
Speaker 1: I've heard that as well, so I am prepared. I
Speaker 1: actually rescheduled because I was getting it today with the Monday,
Speaker 1: and I said maybe if I get on Friday. So
Speaker 1: if I am seck, I have like Saturday Sunday to
Speaker 1: recuperate rather than be sick the whole week and then
Speaker 1: lose pay, which I don't want to do either to
Speaker 1: cheapest dirt. Plus I have a lot of students. I
Speaker 1: got my master's later and I got a lot of
Speaker 1: student moms. Well, thank you, beautiful lady. We appreciate I
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Help me look at right there where is
Speaker 1: be slammer. I do want to we do want to
Speaker 1: come and talk to you, um because we see you
Speaker 1: saying I've just seen it right there, go back. You
Speaker 1: see that your experience is a little different with right,
Speaker 1: a little bit more no that way, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: get me so blessed because me so blessed on lunch
Speaker 1: and they had the vaccine. Okay, because I've seen that functioning,
Speaker 1: me so blessed. You still on lunch? Come on with
Speaker 1: us because y'all see us me alone, were real close
Speaker 1: and we close. Don't we look like a picture? She's
Speaker 1: my older sister? Whatever? Hi? Lauren? Hi? How are you?
Speaker 1: Can you? Guy? Tell me? Okay, I'm at work? So hi?
Speaker 1: How I claimed? I watched it on Saturday. It was wonderful.
Speaker 1: I loved it, Thank you, thank you. I watched it
Speaker 1: with my nephew. He's seventeen, so it was a good
Speaker 1: icebreaker for a safe sex talk. Great, that's great to hear.
Speaker 1: The hypocrisy of that show is it was a safe
Speaker 1: sex condom campaign. Some some I an't used it. Probably
Speaker 1: about anyway you wanted to bring you on because we're talking.
Speaker 1: We wanted to talk to a couple of people who've
Speaker 1: actually taken the vaccine. Um, So what was your experience like? Oh, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't take the vaccine. Look you had taken the vaccine. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I haven't taken it. I'm not going to take I
Speaker 1: don't plan on taking it. Okay, So tell us why
Speaker 1: I don't trust it. I don't trust that there's not
Speaker 1: enough information. People are dying from getting it, people are
Speaker 1: passing out. Different things are happening, and we don't see
Speaker 1: it all in the media. But I don't trust it
Speaker 1: at all. Okay, I understandable. Everybody has to make their
Speaker 1: own decisions. So, m my biggest issue was, first of all,
Speaker 1: I don't trust about you, and I said that publicly.
Speaker 1: I said again. And then when Lauren took me to
Speaker 1: get a test at the fire department, there was a
Speaker 1: fireman there who said that he wasn't taking it. This
Speaker 1: was a firefighter, This was a fighting who had been
Speaker 1: on his job for a year. When I heard that, Babe,
Speaker 1: it was like God just opened up my eyes and
Speaker 1: say everything that you said, my child is true. I
Speaker 1: am not taking that. I'm just not. It's just starting.
Speaker 1: And he said he is not taking it. He's not.
Speaker 1: I told him that he can, you know, his first
Speaker 1: on the list. They haven't made it mandatory. But he
Speaker 1: said he's not taking it. And he's black, and he's
Speaker 1: black and he's in the field and he first, he's
Speaker 1: first on the list. When we were black folks been
Speaker 1: first for any damn thing. They really want to help
Speaker 1: us out right, Well listen, Okay, so now I got
Speaker 1: you which black his story resonates with you. Gladys West.
Speaker 1: Her name is Gladys West, and she was very instrumental
Speaker 1: in the mathematics behind the GPS system. Okay, let us.
Speaker 1: I want to know in the movie, you know, they
Speaker 1: had the movie Hidden Figures. She wasn't featured in the movie,
Speaker 1: but she's still alive to this day. She was born
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty and she's still alive. And she was
Speaker 1: very instrumental in the mathematics behind the GPS system. Wow, well,
Speaker 1: thank you for that girl. We would have never knew
Speaker 1: that has not told us. Page is a transfer of
Speaker 1: information because we learned from each other. And you know
Speaker 1: that movie, man, that movie Hidden Figures was written about
Speaker 1: me because every time I go to the airport, they
Speaker 1: found my head and fig. Okay, Lord, that's flame. I
Speaker 1: love you, Flame. I loved you guys so much. Every
Speaker 1: Monday at one o'clock, Gladys West, we gotta see y'all
Speaker 1: write down these names because y'all need to learn these
Speaker 1: things to teach to your children. Break around just to
Speaker 1: watch your show. Oh well, I appreciate that and have
Speaker 1: even How was your Valentine's Day? It was nice. I
Speaker 1: was my own Valentine. It was beautiful period. Yeah, self love.
Speaker 1: We I cooked dinner for myself and everything. I cooked
Speaker 1: dinner for myself too, but somebody else gave me dessert. Okay, love,
Speaker 1: we look okay, be slam something. We're coming to you
Speaker 1: right now because we see all your comments. Took the
Speaker 1: vaccine and we're praying for you, but we want to
Speaker 1: know there it is. Okay, Hi, Hi, how are you good?
Speaker 1: What's your Stephanie Lama? Hello Stephanie. I put b s
Speaker 1: for my husband, Bertron and me, and then our last
Speaker 1: name is Lament Okay, right, yeah, Well I'll say to
Speaker 1: you that I work in the hospital, one of one
Speaker 1: of one of the biggest hospitals ever Yale, and I've
Speaker 1: had the first and second vaccine. Now, initially I thought
Speaker 1: not to take the vaccine, and then my husband had
Speaker 1: a little heart situation that came up because he's such
Speaker 1: a hard worker and he's never been on medication or
Speaker 1: anything like that, and when the heart doctor told him
Speaker 1: to get vaccinated. I work in pharmacy, so I started
Speaker 1: talking to a lot of pharmacists and stuff you know
Speaker 1: in the hospital setting. Before any patient gets any kind
Speaker 1: of medications, a pharmacist has to research um, looking the
Speaker 1: clinicals and make sure that medication is okay for the patient,
Speaker 1: that their kidney levels are correct, and so on and
Speaker 1: so forth. So they have to read a lot of stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, clinically, and so then I had a few
Speaker 1: pharmacists to say, Okay, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the vaccine, but I'd rather do maderna and so
Speaker 1: that's the type of vaccine I've got, and I have diabetes.
Speaker 1: So after my husband said he was gonna get it,
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, let me talk to pharmacists. And
Speaker 1: then I decided I was gonna get it um. First vaccine,
Speaker 1: I had a sore arms. Second vaccine, I was so
Speaker 1: sick and I felt like it had invoked every system
Speaker 1: in my body. And I said, although they tell you
Speaker 1: they're not injecting you with COVID, they should tell you
Speaker 1: that they're injecting you with something similar that is going
Speaker 1: to invoke every system in your body. Which talking to
Speaker 1: the pharmacists, they say it's similar to having a flu.
Speaker 1: They said, a lot of people are being tested for
Speaker 1: COVID versus flu which is the same kind of test,
Speaker 1: because hospitals are getting paid more that if a patient
Speaker 1: asides from COVID versus the flu um. But long story short,
Speaker 1: I was very sick after the second one. I had
Speaker 1: never had a um a fever as an adult. UM.
Speaker 1: After the third day, I didn't know what to do,
Speaker 1: so I started calling how many days were five? I was?
Speaker 1: I was off. I took a week off only because
Speaker 1: I know that when I get sick, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: down for three or four days, And so I took
Speaker 1: a week off just so that when I got the vaccination,
Speaker 1: if I had a reaction UM, that I could have
Speaker 1: that time off. But when I called my doctors, if
Speaker 1: I called the e D first to talk to the chargeners,
Speaker 1: I guess they were too busy and they are overwhelmed
Speaker 1: UM with COVID patients. And then I called my doctor's
Speaker 1: office and he says, Stephanie, drink a lot of water.
Speaker 1: Drink he says, make sure you're drinking a lot of fluid,
Speaker 1: and take talon a every four hours. So then what
Speaker 1: most people started doing in the pharmacy is taking talon
Speaker 1: all before the second dose and so then they had
Speaker 1: like less time down. But it is designed to invoke
Speaker 1: every system in your body. It pushes it. And I
Speaker 1: also understand now that you know, it's not FDA approved,
Speaker 1: even all the animal testing hasn't been done. However, it's
Speaker 1: some new type of technology that they're using. So of
Speaker 1: course the type of person I am technology No, seriously,
Speaker 1: is the technology is supposed to like market something with
Speaker 1: the five Yeah, I read that somewhere recently. So and
Speaker 1: with the technology and learning that part, I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: so you know what all this other stuff I'm here
Speaker 1: and did they inject us with a microchip? So you know,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like, I'm I question everything. But another
Speaker 1: thing that made me get it is I'm seeing people
Speaker 1: in the hospital just dropped like flies with COVID. I mean,
Speaker 1: we just lost a lady that is a business unit
Speaker 1: clerk on a COVID floor. She has seven sons. She
Speaker 1: she just passed away, and they were trying to raise
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars so that if she comes out
Speaker 1: of this, that she would be able to um not
Speaker 1: have to go back to work to take care of
Speaker 1: her family. But what I do know and what I
Speaker 1: can tell you, and how much I can disclose is
Speaker 1: once once you're put on their taking precaution with putting
Speaker 1: people on ventilators now, but once you want a ventilator
Speaker 1: and and you're diagnosed with COVID. My mom's best friend
Speaker 1: actually ended up getting COVID and it was to the
Speaker 1: point where she al once needed to go to the hospital. Um.
Speaker 1: But what she was saying was when she got there, like,
Speaker 1: please don't put me on a ventilator, please on, because
Speaker 1: it's like, apparently that's like the death sentence to you
Speaker 1: going eventilator. You're not coming back from it because you're
Speaker 1: under and you can't tell you you can't tell them
Speaker 1: when your body is receiving too much oxygen because you
Speaker 1: are in the commas commato state. I don't want to
Speaker 1: take too much option and want the other thing is
Speaker 1: the other thing is is that keeping you paralyzed so
Speaker 1: so you don't wake up? Wow? Okay, so I'm glad.
Speaker 1: We're glad you're better. I'm glad your husband is better.
Speaker 1: I love you playing. I've been watching you before she ready.
Speaker 1: I saw you on T. S. Madison and since then
Speaker 1: I've been following you. We're gonna have t s Madison
Speaker 1: on my show here on the I want to ask
Speaker 1: you a question. I know you said that your husband
Speaker 1: took it, and you talked to some pharmacies and to
Speaker 1: some other people. What made you finally decide to say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to do it? Because I
Speaker 1: know that you were on the fence about it, because
Speaker 1: from what you say it to us. What made you
Speaker 1: finally say I'm just going to do it? Because I've
Speaker 1: had diabetes for over thirty years and I'm on an
Speaker 1: insulin pump, and I just felt like, if it's um
Speaker 1: anything that I can do UM and and believe, try
Speaker 1: to have some faith about it. Um, I'm doing all
Speaker 1: these other preventive steps, you know, wearing a mask, um.
Speaker 1: You know now we're wearing goggles and hills on the
Speaker 1: floor and all that kind of stuff, you know, even
Speaker 1: as just technicians going to load medications to the machines,
Speaker 1: I felt like, as a diabetic, you know, I just
Speaker 1: need to take every precaution. And with my husband, my
Speaker 1: husband has a brother who's a doctor, and that my
Speaker 1: husband decided to take it, I said, I'm gonna take it. Well,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you saying your story. I want to ask
Speaker 1: you a question. What what black historian resonates with you? So,
Speaker 1: what black historian resonates with me is Harriet Tubman, although
Speaker 1: everybody knows about her. I have a girlfriend who's a
Speaker 1: real estate agent, and she says she wants me to
Speaker 1: watch that movie, and God forgive me that I haven't
Speaker 1: watched it yet because she she says, Stephanie, you remind
Speaker 1: me so much of Harriet Tubman. She says, You're always
Speaker 1: about saving people and saving your people and giving them
Speaker 1: knowledge and rescuing people. So yeah, Stephanie, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining us today on laughing now. We appreciate you.

Speaker 1: I would have been on y'all and I wouldn't come
Speaker 1: back to get my kids. My mama was not nobody
Speaker 1: y'all as would have had to get away on y'all
Speaker 1: own because I wasn't gonna take the last Where are
Speaker 1: you at where you store? Oh? My god? You all
Speaker 1: man stuffing? When I had I can't see you. I
Speaker 1: see like, how here you are? All right? How are you? Hello?
Speaker 1: Hands somehow are you? I'm good, flame, I'm good flame.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to talk about one of my
Speaker 1: ancestors whose black. His study tell me it's about the Lovings.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever heard of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the movie I remember the movie Militia. Jeter is my
Speaker 1: great great act. Okay. So she was a part of that.
Speaker 1: And they like fault and we're like destroying and people
Speaker 1: are hating them because they're an enterracial couple. So they
Speaker 1: went through this clouds and they became the first enter
Speaker 1: racial couple to be accepted and merged and get a
Speaker 1: certificate in America. That's good culture, that's that's good d
Speaker 1: and that you came from good stock. I fear at first,
Speaker 1: I reven bed your conversational love loud. You got to
Speaker 1: let me know the gown, you gotta let me do
Speaker 1: it went down already the other show. And guess what
Speaker 1: I did, exactly what my ancestors did. And I then
Speaker 1: married me. Mr Charlotte, are you married to a white
Speaker 1: young You went to a Caucasian young man play that
Speaker 1: fucking music, white boy, let me see what he looks
Speaker 1: like you? But you know, you know Ferris was beautiful
Speaker 1: about that, that you came from that, and that you're
Speaker 1: sharing this story because I always talk about on love Lounge.
Speaker 1: Love ain't no color. Love ain't no damn color. And
Speaker 1: I tell i'dn't even have to tell Lauren that, you know,
Speaker 1: not to say she was supposed to marrying someone else.
Speaker 1: But you don't miss your golden opportunity or your husband
Speaker 1: or your wife because of what color they are. Love it,
Speaker 1: love ain't no color. You can fall in love with
Speaker 1: somebody look nothing like you and learn from beautiful and
Speaker 1: that stereotyzus about what's been down below. That ain't truth
Speaker 1: for all of them. I'll tell you you you preached
Speaker 1: it to the quiet that because I know some of
Speaker 1: these white boys is swinging. What's that song? He feels

Speaker 1: nan and no ridiculous in Buffalo. We're getting fifteen into
Speaker 1: tomorrow tonight. They that's why you're in the grocery store.
Speaker 1: Makes sense. Thank you. I will see you at Love
Speaker 1: Lives later than you for the information. Congratulations to you
Speaker 1: in your booth. Thank you. I want details back o busness.
Speaker 1: The Lord is my chep for that. Should I want
Speaker 1: bring somebody back, bringing Pam. Bring on Pam. Since we
Speaker 1: are already on the East coast, let's bring Pam on
Speaker 1: Pam on the East coast. Y'all like this list the
Speaker 1: caller towards me. Listen, how are you a baby? How
Speaker 1: are you you look with your hair down? Thank you? No,
Speaker 1: we need no trash. Thank you, you're looking good too. No,
Speaker 1: we need no tracks. Pam. I want to ask you
Speaker 1: a question because Pam is like Pama is like tech Ja,
Speaker 1: and Pam is a very brilliant woman. She lived alone
Speaker 1: like she caucase of her for seven years. They got, Hey,
Speaker 1: what what black historian resonates with you? Well, I have
Speaker 1: a couple. I had to have my notes. Um hello,
Speaker 1: uh that do we know? Okay you hear me, you
Speaker 1: hear me? Okay, Setty boop? Do we know about Betty boot?
Speaker 1: Betty book was Esther Jones? Her character was stolen by
Speaker 1: this bio, a white woman who went on to make
Speaker 1: the money and all you know from the twenties Cotton
Speaker 1: Club Esther Jones and then also something a little bit
Speaker 1: more uh scientific, Dr Walter McAfee. Without him, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been able to calculate what it takes to get
Speaker 1: to the move nineteen forty six. Well, well you and
Speaker 1: I thought that was that was before you so silly.
Speaker 1: You know, Black history, like I like to think about
Speaker 1: the song that Bob Marley singes, Get upstand up. Half
Speaker 1: the story has never been told. There's so much history
Speaker 1: that we have that goes back, back, back, back back
Speaker 1: before everything. The Moors you know, the more okay, black people,
Speaker 1: we don't invent it and created some ship we don't
Speaker 1: even know about in this century, the Moores are from Aians.
Speaker 1: Italians are actually black. Hello, Sicily, Sicily. Why are you
Speaker 1: think it's a lot of that self hey, going on
Speaker 1: with the with Thealians and the Sicilians because that black blood.
Speaker 1: They got black blood, right, It's just just that, but
Speaker 1: that is Oh I hated that analogy though, paym, I
Speaker 1: know it's the true and I know it's the truth.
Speaker 1: So you thought, did you just hear that they got
Speaker 1: all this hate self hate because of the black Black
Speaker 1: people are so much the crams in the barrel, just
Speaker 1: you we can even look at like The Godfather. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys, I hope everybody's watched The Godfather.
Speaker 1: But even when they have their large meeting with all
Speaker 1: the heads of the Five families, when they talked about,
Speaker 1: you know, they wanted to sell drugs and that they'll
Speaker 1: only put it in the black neighborhood and you know,
Speaker 1: we'll keep it out of school so we can put
Speaker 1: it in the black neighborhoods because that's fine. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of representation of what that stems from. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's so deep. It's so it's like
Speaker 1: that vein of the vein is so long and so deep.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's it's really something. But we
Speaker 1: we need to realize, as black people and people of color,
Speaker 1: how much this how much of this world we created?
Speaker 1: How much of the love, how much of inventions? Um,
Speaker 1: everything culture that we're all up in there. Everybody thinks
Speaker 1: that you know, they're you know, they hate them. They
Speaker 1: don't realize when they hate on black people, they're probably
Speaker 1: hating themselves or people of color. They're hating themselves. So
Speaker 1: they need to stop. You know, it's terrible, It is terrible. Pam.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. How are we we are?
Speaker 1: We did Sam any time really with the boys. We
Speaker 1: watched we watched the Fred Hampton movie. I cooked them
Speaker 1: all in nice dinner. Um, you know, we just hung out.
Speaker 1: You know, that's when you know, at the twenty seven years,
Speaker 1: you do your little notes and we we we have
Speaker 1: an understanding. You know, we do a lot of big things,
Speaker 1: we do little things, you know. So it was it
Speaker 1: was one of those family Valentines and then you know
Speaker 1: later on there was some situations. Look at my face. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you just getting in when you can, when
Speaker 1: you got the you know, the family. It's no big deal.
Speaker 1: You have that Valentine's all the time, and what that
Speaker 1: weather like over there in New Jersey, because I know
Speaker 1: where you at. We're waiting on some other icy ship
Speaker 1: to come down, and we still got all the snow
Speaker 1: left from a week ago. It's covered, it's covered. It's
Speaker 1: a mess. But you know, you do what you do.
Speaker 1: You just lived through it, and we're gonna melt out
Speaker 1: hopefully next week when some rain comes. Hopefully we'll get
Speaker 1: rid of something. This. Thank you paying for coming on ship,
Speaker 1: especially information, because I think I knew that looking up everybody,
Speaker 1: look up the wars and see the influence from the
Speaker 1: all the way back to the ninth or tenth century
Speaker 1: over in Spain and all Italy and Spain. Honey, all right,
Speaker 1: Pam Mark Mark, come the doctor. He gonna come on
Speaker 1: and give us some information. We thank you. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you bring Markey Mark on because his his partner
Speaker 1: who's the doctor, is gonna come on and talk about
Speaker 1: the vaccine. He just took it. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about y'all know that Megan Marco is pregnant with baby
Speaker 1: number two. You know the queen is having a fit.
Speaker 1: Prince Harry, you can't stay about and player. That's that
Speaker 1: Compton coach? Yes, where are you? Ain't she from Compton?
Speaker 1: Ain't there you? Ain't she from Compton? Megan marco Uh
Speaker 1: she is not? Or south Central? I think there he is?
Speaker 1: Come on, is he not one the question? Baby? Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, Prince Harry, you know the queen
Speaker 1: man is here, you know, the queen over there like you,
Speaker 1: you just gonna keep knocking up, Marky, mark you yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: um yeah. They got home early. So I heard the
Speaker 1: one lady who was talking about like this new it's
Speaker 1: an it's a new type of vaccine, meaning the messenger RNA.
Speaker 1: So explain what the difference is between like a flu
Speaker 1: shot and the messenger RNA and white your opinion on it?
Speaker 1: In my opinion? Your opinion on the vaccine? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: the vaccine, the two that are being administered currently, the
Speaker 1: Fiser vaccine and the Madurna vaccine are both messenger RNA vaccines,
Speaker 1: which means they analyzed the entire DNA code of the
Speaker 1: virus and they found one little section that was like
Speaker 1: the blueprint for the little spikes on the outside of
Speaker 1: the viral particle structure, and then they created RNA which
Speaker 1: which Matt is up to that DNA section, and so
Speaker 1: that's what you're getting injected into you is like a
Speaker 1: little piece of the blueprint that codes for those little spikes.
Speaker 1: And then that's what your body will make antibodies too,
Speaker 1: so that if you ever are exposed to the actual virus,
Speaker 1: your body will already have these antibodies that can attack
Speaker 1: those spikes and latch onto the virus and kind of
Speaker 1: market for destruction and make it easy for your body's
Speaker 1: immune system to kill it off quickly. Right, Okay, so
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question. I'm calling you Bay
Speaker 1: because that's what Mark caused you, and I want to
Speaker 1: ask your NA because these people here knows that, but
Speaker 1: they don't need to know your real name. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question though, on a series too. So
Speaker 1: what about people who have pre existing conditions, who have diabetes,
Speaker 1: who have HIV, who have what have you? What is
Speaker 1: they gonna do for them? Because those are the ones
Speaker 1: that they trying to really push it to now that
Speaker 1: they're saying this is in California. I'm in California. I
Speaker 1: know you guys are at Florida. But those are the
Speaker 1: ones that at first they said you couldn't take it.
Speaker 1: Now they say that people who even have like fillers.
Speaker 1: I don't have fillers, but I have black market silicone
Speaker 1: in my I have silicone breast implants. What about me
Speaker 1: if I decided to take I'm completely against it. But
Speaker 1: if I decided to take it, what would that do
Speaker 1: for me? Well, it would do the same thing it
Speaker 1: does for everybody. It would make your body, uh, develop
Speaker 1: these antibodies for the spikes on the virus, so that
Speaker 1: if you're ever exposed to the actual virus, you'll fight
Speaker 1: it off much easier. M Oh, but you know what,
Speaker 1: let me let me tell you why where I met
Speaker 1: when you write this on this information? Baby? Because I've
Speaker 1: been very adamant about not getting and I'm still not
Speaker 1: getting it. Uh. And the fact that you are Mark's
Speaker 1: partner and you got it, and you're a doctor and
Speaker 1: Mark still doesn't want to get it, I'm still not convinced.
Speaker 1: I can't get convinced by that because let me and
Speaker 1: let me tell you what I'm so shredded about the information.
Speaker 1: First of all, don't trust Dr Fauci. I haven't trust
Speaker 1: Dr Fauci since Ronald Reagan years with the HIV and
Speaker 1: and a z T that medication that was killing everybody.
Speaker 1: They said it killed as it d killed A's. But
Speaker 1: they forgot to tell you is that it killed you.
Speaker 1: That's why I killed the ages, because it killed you.
Speaker 1: There is so much misinformation and so many untruths that
Speaker 1: has been put out by the government and so many
Speaker 1: doctors that we that we thought we trusted that I
Speaker 1: don't know what to believe. And that's why I'm at
Speaker 1: with so many people. We are on the fence and afraid.
Speaker 1: I'm actually afraid. So talking to you, we appreciate that.
Speaker 1: But I have a couple of questions for you too though,
Speaker 1: before we move on. So one is we now know
Speaker 1: that there's seven different variants here in the US of COVID.
Speaker 1: So in terms of the vaccine, how is that supposed
Speaker 1: to combat these new strains that are appearing in the
Speaker 1: in the US. Well, that's a good question. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a whole lot of data on
Speaker 1: that specifically, But the hope would be that the variants,
Speaker 1: as long as they have something resembling those spiky projections
Speaker 1: on their surface than the antibodies that we have from
Speaker 1: the vaccine um will still offer us some protection because
Speaker 1: they still have those you know, that spiky exterior that
Speaker 1: were that word some protection just shook me right there,
Speaker 1: some protection. Oh, I'm some protective from a bullet. I
Speaker 1: don't like that because that would be my question to
Speaker 1: you though, because I know, like, for instance, the UM
Speaker 1: the MODERNA vaccine is said to be effective and fightser
Speaker 1: I think is about ninety So do you guys have
Speaker 1: the data or the percentage of what the protection level
Speaker 1: is with these new variants coming? Like what is the
Speaker 1: level of protection with you getting the COVID vaccine in
Speaker 1: case you encounter these variants? No, I don't. I have
Speaker 1: not seen actual numbers or data. I would he'd be
Speaker 1: completely guessing. Maybe it's fifty, maybe it's five percent, who knows,
Speaker 1: but but even one percent is better than nothing. So
Speaker 1: why do the vaccine? Why do you think people should
Speaker 1: get the vaccine? And why did you get it? I
Speaker 1: got it because I don't want to have to be
Speaker 1: stressed out as much and be worried about contracting this
Speaker 1: virus and we're raid that. You know, I'm that one
Speaker 1: in a thousand person that gets really, really really sick
Speaker 1: or potentially could die from it, you know. Now I
Speaker 1: know that my body is going to be more prepared
Speaker 1: to fight it off. And you know, I think we're
Speaker 1: all tired of living our lives in fear of this
Speaker 1: stupid virus. So I mean that's really why I did.
Speaker 1: I don't want to live in fear anymore. By let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, because we know that you
Speaker 1: guys just lost a very close personal free and to
Speaker 1: post possibly to COVID. Was that a deciding fact that
Speaker 1: with you getting the vaccine? Uh? No, even before that happened,
Speaker 1: I still, you know, it was very much interested in
Speaker 1: getting the vaccine as soon as it was available. Someone asked, Uh,
Speaker 1: they think that all vaccines are the same as the
Speaker 1: messenger RNA. What's the difference between the flu vaccine or
Speaker 1: flu shot and the messenger are on some vaccines UM
Speaker 1: actually contained weakened versions of the actual virus itself, the
Speaker 1: whole virus, not just like a piece of DNA that
Speaker 1: codes for one little part of the virus, but the
Speaker 1: entire sequence. But it's like a weakened version, so it's
Speaker 1: easier for your body to fight off, but you're still
Speaker 1: technically being injected with something that is actually infecting you
Speaker 1: and multiplying and spreading in your body until your body
Speaker 1: fights it off. Whereas this, this can't multiply, this can't reproduce.
Speaker 1: It's just the one little you know, you know, cc
Speaker 1: of fluid that they inject in you. And that's it.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna spread, it's not gonna divide and replicate.
Speaker 1: It's just that one little piece and then your body
Speaker 1: makes antibodies to it. That's but I want to I
Speaker 1: want to touch on that too, because I I saw
Speaker 1: that somewhere. Is that because the reason why for instystem
Speaker 1: moderna vaccine has to be refrigerated at a certain temperature
Speaker 1: because it's got to keep its potency or ethicacy, whatever
Speaker 1: you wanna call it. And as that, once it's injected
Speaker 1: into your body, it disperses. But however, it only last
Speaker 1: in your body for a certain amount of time, and
Speaker 1: it's like evaporates. Is that correct and clarity right? H Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean it well, I don't think
Speaker 1: it evaporates, but it probably just breaks down and gets
Speaker 1: you know, dissolves into nothing and broken down into uh,
Speaker 1: waste products that your body just reabsorbs and then gets
Speaker 1: rid of. And we've talked about this because I think
Speaker 1: you talked about it with your the other day. Is
Speaker 1: that if let's say it only last six months, it's
Speaker 1: not changing your perspective on getting the vaccine. If the
Speaker 1: protection only last six months, I mean, that would be disappointing, um,
Speaker 1: and that would be unusual. I mean, almost all vaccines
Speaker 1: offer at least a few years of protection. The reason
Speaker 1: that they say you get the flu shot every year
Speaker 1: is because there's so many different strains of the flu
Speaker 1: that every year they look at kind of what are
Speaker 1: the most popular flu strains that year, and they make
Speaker 1: a vaccine that contains those flu strings or what they
Speaker 1: think it will be. But with this, this isn't that situation.
Speaker 1: And you I doubt it would be six months. You know,
Speaker 1: it might be a few years. It might be five years,
Speaker 1: it might be ten years. But if enough of us
Speaker 1: get vaccinated around the world, eventually this thing will get
Speaker 1: marginalized into such such small numbers and it won't keep
Speaker 1: spreading around the world that it won't be a minor problem.
Speaker 1: To other good questions that someone just asked. One was
Speaker 1: if I if they've already had COVID and they have,
Speaker 1: anybody's should they get the vaccine? Still? That's a good question. Um,
Speaker 1: we don't know how much immunity is you know, gained
Speaker 1: by having the virus and then recovering from it, but
Speaker 1: probably a decent amount. So I think it's a judgment call.
Speaker 1: I mean, it can't hurt you, you know, it could
Speaker 1: only help you. Additionally, because maybe it actually would help
Speaker 1: with these variants. Maybe you're antibodies to the COVID virus
Speaker 1: that you got exposed to. Um don't attack the spikes,
Speaker 1: and they attack some other part of the virus that
Speaker 1: this other mutated you know, strain doesn't have, and so
Speaker 1: maybe you're only protected from that one strain, whereas maybe
Speaker 1: the vaccine will give you actually more protection because it's
Speaker 1: coding for those little spikes, which most variants seem to
Speaker 1: have that spike. And if someone is vaccinated, why is
Speaker 1: it important that they still wear masks, because can they
Speaker 1: still get the virus? They can still get exposed and
Speaker 1: it can you know, maybe live inside them for a
Speaker 1: few days and they'll be asymptomatic and won't show any
Speaker 1: signs or symptoms, but they could then spread it to
Speaker 1: other people who have not been vaccinated. So that stills
Speaker 1: scary to me, uh Dr bay I, So appreciate you
Speaker 1: kind of giving us this information because I'll tell you,
Speaker 1: my man enough to think about something. I do know
Speaker 1: for sure that I am not. Here's my vaccine right here.
Speaker 1: I know you can't think it. We'll want to see
Speaker 1: your face. This is my vaccine right here. It's been
Speaker 1: working since Marst the fifte tail Bay, doctor Lithole, and
Speaker 1: it's my friend before we before we get off here,
Speaker 1: and again, Mark, thank you so much for for bringing
Speaker 1: him on. My question is because it doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: we know how long this vaccine lasts in our system,
Speaker 1: because you know Dr Bay said it could be five years,
Speaker 1: it could be ten years. How do we know that
Speaker 1: we're not going to have to get another round of
Speaker 1: vaccinations or have to get booster shots. Mean, if we
Speaker 1: don't know how long this COVID vaccine protection is gonna last,
Speaker 1: what what did we say to that? I'd say, you're right,
Speaker 1: we don't know, and we may have to get more,
Speaker 1: you know, until enough people get vaccinated to where the
Speaker 1: virus drops down to such small, small numbers that it's
Speaker 1: really no longer a threat. Um we got to you know,
Speaker 1: keep fighting it, you know, I mean, if this was
Speaker 1: if this was something deadly like ebola, were like people
Speaker 1: who contracted will die from it. Um. I think a
Speaker 1: lot more people would would probably be getting the vaccine.
Speaker 1: But because it's, you know, a relatively mild virus for
Speaker 1: most people, there is this hesitation. But you know, there
Speaker 1: are people that do die from it. So the vaccine
Speaker 1: is not eight thousand and counting dr base. So that's
Speaker 1: that's more than mildly. That's a lot of people. That's
Speaker 1: almost a half a million people Americans, I agree, out
Speaker 1: of and I think it's about a five or ten
Speaker 1: percent rate of the people who got COVID who actually
Speaker 1: developed severe illness or died, it's around five. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know that. Please don't take this as a disrespect, but
Speaker 1: that sounded very disregarding. Tell that to somebody who lost
Speaker 1: their mother or father, or their brother or sister. Percentage
Speaker 1: don't mean nothing when you lose a personal loved one.
Speaker 1: Y'all lost your friend. Mark was all shook up about
Speaker 1: your friend who passed the way. This disease is very personal.
Speaker 1: And until they give me some reassurances, cause ninety a cent,
Speaker 1: I am black, I'm transgendered, I live an alternative lifestyle,
Speaker 1: I might be that five percent that it doesn't work
Speaker 1: for that's my fear. So that it worked context because
Speaker 1: I know what you were saying, context equivalating it to
Speaker 1: the E Bowl of virus. What what would you meaning
Speaker 1: by that? Because the E Bowl of IRUs someone who
Speaker 1: catches that and the death rate is significantly higher compared
Speaker 1: to what we're dealing with. Now you were saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I was. I was just kind of speculating
Speaker 1: that maybe that's why some people are not wanting to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated because there, um, you know, it's not as deadly.
Speaker 1: It was just I'll say this as to why I
Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable to get vaccinated. One flame brought up
Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, my father works for the
Speaker 1: fire department. He's one of the highest ranking members in
Speaker 1: the fire department for Los Angeles City, and he's constantly
Speaker 1: in these meetings. He's having conversations with doctors in the
Speaker 1: may or and everybody else, and he's not getting enough
Speaker 1: information for him to feel safe to do it. He also,
Speaker 1: I also he has also other colleagues on the fire
Speaker 1: department that's not comfortable either. Play gave the story of
Speaker 1: you know, feeling sick. We also had Stephanie that came
Speaker 1: on and talked about her experience. For me, when I
Speaker 1: was twelve years old getting a flu shot, I was
Speaker 1: bedridden for seven days with the stomach virus from the
Speaker 1: flu shot. So I'm not very gung ho on the
Speaker 1: vaccinations to begin with. I'm very lucky to the point
Speaker 1: that I haven't had COVID, but I have friends who
Speaker 1: have gotten COVID and it's a very scary experience for them.
Speaker 1: But the fact that there's so many I don't knows
Speaker 1: and we've got these variants, it doesn't make me feel
Speaker 1: comfortable to say, Okay, well, let me risk my life,
Speaker 1: my vitals and everything else to take this on a
Speaker 1: hope in a whim that it's going to protect me,
Speaker 1: and there's not enough information to back that up. That's
Speaker 1: that's my stance of why I'm not comfortable to take
Speaker 1: the vaccine. Well, I understand that I look at it differently.
Speaker 1: I look at it that if you if I get COVID,
Speaker 1: there is a five to ten percent chance I might
Speaker 1: die from it, Whereas I don't know what is the
Speaker 1: percentage of people that have had serious problems from this vaccine.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the numbers, but I'm assuming it's less
Speaker 1: than one percent, So it seems safer to get the
Speaker 1: vaccine less than a one percent risk of something happening
Speaker 1: versus getting COVID. So I'd rather go with those odds,
Speaker 1: and just to wrap it up, I'm gonna be the
Speaker 1: final wrap it up person. Again, this is coming from
Speaker 1: someone who has years of it's of medical experience and education.
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, a white Jewish man in our
Speaker 1: country compared to a lot of this audience who is
Speaker 1: people of color and have other things to uh factor
Speaker 1: and or be concerned when it comes to the health
Speaker 1: care system and our country. So it's not to say
Speaker 1: one's right ones the other. Again, back to what I've
Speaker 1: always said, if you're not comfortable, you're not comfortable, especially
Speaker 1: as a person of color. It's it can be uh
Speaker 1: off putting to hear a white man in America who's
Speaker 1: a doctor say I'm I'm comfortable with it, If that
Speaker 1: makes sense, market Mark understand me that this was great.
Speaker 1: Appreciate by coming on and giving us this information. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, babe. That's what we call you, because
Speaker 1: that's what doctor bay. Because you have opened somebody's eyes
Speaker 1: and ears and you made somebody thinking on this page,
Speaker 1: the doctor Bay, We're not trying to get people to
Speaker 1: change their man. I don't want to convince somebody to
Speaker 1: do with that. I want you to think for yourself
Speaker 1: and make the decision for yourself. I love the fact
Speaker 1: that you have taken us that say, and Mark is
Speaker 1: still against it. You know who knows. I may change
Speaker 1: my man, market may changes man. I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: a change man because I ain't took a flu shot
Speaker 1: at My children have never had a flu shot eighteen,
Speaker 1: seventeen and fourteen. They've also never had the flu. So
Speaker 1: I understand the logic. I even understand the logistics in
Speaker 1: my psyching in my head. And this might be because
Speaker 1: I'm a black person, doctor Bay. It might be because
Speaker 1: I am a black person in this America, in this America,
Speaker 1: not in the seventies America, but in this America. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's part of my reasoning on why I don't want
Speaker 1: to do it. But the information that you have given
Speaker 1: us is fantastic and we appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: We can't see your face, but you found cute all right.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, Markey, Mike, I love you. I see
Speaker 1: you later. Pepper thank you today. See, we had a
Speaker 1: thought to come on and give us an inference. And
Speaker 1: I think that's great too, because a lot of people
Speaker 1: are have been asking, even in this episode that we're doing,
Speaker 1: you know, please bring a professional on. So we were
Speaker 1: able to bring a professional on. We're finding some different perspectives,
Speaker 1: so hopefully that gives you guys some insight. And we're
Speaker 1: asking why y'all couldn't see Bay's face because Bay is
Speaker 1: a professional, he's a doctor, yes, and then the here's
Speaker 1: the here's the pushback. His pardner won't take the vaccinat
Speaker 1: and he will. That is great for us to see that.
Speaker 1: Because we live in the same house, you don't always
Speaker 1: have to think of like the decision. The ultimate decision
Speaker 1: is your decision. Whatever you want to do, whatever you
Speaker 1: want to do. Bring it back on about we had
Speaker 1: a show planned and nothing went y'all. Y'all's honey, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm listening. I'm trying to take those right down. Hello, wow, wow, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: unexpected talk up loud and we can barely hear you.
Speaker 1: That better, I see you. I need to hear you.
Speaker 1: Turning volume up, Turn that volume up, turn the volume alright, alright. Yes,
Speaker 1: I love that you brought in another voice and another perspective.
Speaker 1: So yes, absolutely, absolutely, Well that about wraps up our show,
Speaker 1: it does. I think we should definitely end on that note. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Let me let me take
Speaker 1: one at my picture. Let me tell you something right now,
Speaker 1: laugh and learned is the show that's called the transfer
Speaker 1: of information. We learned from each other. If so many
Speaker 1: things that we learned today, myself included that we don't know.
Speaker 1: And the reason we do this because my flame mats
Speaker 1: and I wanna say this again, I pride myself Nick
Speaker 1: Smith and Lauren Hogan as well, we pride ourselves on
Speaker 1: having the smartest listeners on the internet. We don't just
Speaker 1: teach y'all. We learn from y'all because guess what y'all
Speaker 1: learn from us? Yeah, and we're learning too. That's why
Speaker 1: we ask you guys to come in and bring information
Speaker 1: because as you guys are learning with us, we're also
Speaker 1: learning with you. And I'm not trying to tell y'all
Speaker 1: what to do, baby. That's the decision that you make
Speaker 1: about your life. Is your decision that you make about
Speaker 1: your life. On this page, what we do Nicholas. Oh
Speaker 1: all we all we do is encourage people to say
Speaker 1: what they want to say, because we're not trying to
Speaker 1: get anybody to change their minds. We're only simply trying
Speaker 1: to get everybody to use their mind. And in order
Speaker 1: to use your man, you have to have one watch
Speaker 1: The Wizard of Ours and listen to the Scars Crow say.
Speaker 1: Sometimes people without brains do an awful lot of talking.
