Speaker 1: you from? Just so people know, so we get a

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: glimpse into our team here. I am the one Puerto

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Rican from Texas, Raisin Texas, been around the Easy United Stays,

36
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: was in Portland for a bit. Now I'm in Brooklyn

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: and New York City. They got they got good mango

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: in Texas. No just my mom's okay, shout out your mom, okay,

39
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: h and the coquito and they got that's also your mom's.

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: I was going to say, you know, it's only at

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: the Ramas Household will you find um the best Portrican

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: food in Texas. So okay, I will believe that. And

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: also I just feel like all the you know, all

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: my bodies out there that I'm friends with, none of

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: them are buying coquito there, like that's being made and

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm an outsider. I've never even

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: been to a pan restaurant in Texas. I found one

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: in Portlands when I was living there, and of course

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: I'm in New York there a plenty, but not one

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: in Texas. What's that like? Going from uh, Texas to

51
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: then being in like, you know, a part of the

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: country where you have more compatriots, you know, like that

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: the culture there is a little more reflective. You're like, oh, ship,

54
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: look at me and with my people. Quite a journey

55
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: because I feel like in Texas it was so isolating,

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: being like, oh, this is my family and only we

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: know about each other's culture and we only can validate

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: each other in this house, like no one else seems

59
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: validated us outside. And then going to Portland's I ended

60
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: up even though it being the whitest, you know city,

61
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: in America and having lots of its problems. I ended

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: up finding a really dope community of color that validated

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: my experience more. And then moving to New York, it's

64
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: been almost this jarring, like I almost don't feel Puertorican

65
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: enough up And it's like, I mean, even though my

66
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: oola is from New York, she was like born and

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: raised here, she was like grew up in Washington Heights,

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: like she is thick New York accent to this day.

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: So I grew up with a very new Eurekan household.

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: But it still doesn't feel like I know enough about

71
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: my own culture. So I'm reading a lot of books

72
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: about you know what it means report in these days. Hey,

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: being part of a disport community. It's never easy, that much.

74
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Never easy. Anyway, let's talk about what's trending. Becca, thank

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: you so much for that quick intro. Uh all respect

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: do to Becca, almost our new producer. But first up,

77
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: first trend we see is Travis Hunter. I said, who's

78
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter? Well, when I read it, I said, oh,

79
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: I like that. Travis Hunter is one of the top

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: high school football prospects in the nation. Apparently in the beginning,

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: initially he was committed to going to Florida State University,

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: a very storied football PROGRAMMA in the n C Double A.

83
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: But on you know, today is the day where people are,

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, announcing their commitments. This one is a bit

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: of a shocker because he changed his commitment from Florida

86
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: State to go play at Jackson State, which is an

87
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: HBCU coached by Dion Sanders. And everyone's like, oh, ship, okay,

88
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: I like this. This has been a trend that people,

89
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: you know, has been going on for the last couple

90
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: of years with a lot of talented athletes saying like,

91
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I can contribute my talents to an

92
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: HBCU to elevate a program, uh, and just kind of

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: have an experience that might be like as we're saying,

94
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: diaspora communities or marginalized communities, maybe be somewhere where I

95
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: know that my experience is kind of you know, understood

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: by everyone and not you know, not looked at in

97
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: an obscure way or in a way that lacks understanding.

98
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: So you love to see it, and I know Dion

99
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Sanders love someone. I as we said, I grew up

100
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: in Texas. I went to Baylor and my brother went

101
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: to a and M so football college football is a

102
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: big deal in the South and in my household. And

103
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: to make such a jump from a big, you know,

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: football college to one that you know, maybe not as

105
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: known for its football, but definitely more enriching in terms

106
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: of culture and understanding and just probably will be a

107
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: better experience. It's very cool to see these gen z

108
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: kids pick their wellness maybe for like what they're perceived

109
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: level of success should be right and knowing your value

110
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: right because in some level it's like, m are my

111
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: talents being used in service of something that I know

112
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: is going to enrich my people in my community or

113
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: something where I'm really looked at as like a cog

114
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: in a larger machine that could give a funk about

115
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: who I am or what I do or what my

116
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, just who I am as a person. So

117
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: I you know, shout out Travis Hunter, Dion, Dion Sanders.

118
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure is loving it. The memes out there are

119
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: you know. I love black Twitter for that because it's

120
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: just so there's so many memes just about Dion surprising

121
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Florida State and the world. Um, so you know, good good,

122
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: good news. There um a bit of sad news though today,

123
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: the really fantastic author, activist, social critic, just genius that

124
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: is Bell Hooks passed away at the age of sixty nine,

125
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: and personally, I've I've read some of her books. My

126
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: dad very early on in my life was like always

127
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: talking about bell Hooks and how important her work is

128
00:06:54,839 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: to his you know, understanding of blackness, of white supremacy, uh,

129
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, hegemony, and her books are just, you know,

130
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: a vital part of that education and a vital part

131
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: of my own education around that. So I think we'd

132
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: be remiss to say rest in peace to just a

133
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: fantastic person and thinker in mind. And really, if you

134
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: have not read any bell Hooks and you're out here

135
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: thinking that you you know what's up, I would challenge

136
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: you to pick up her work. And that's a name

137
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: I wish I saw like in in you know, last summer,

138
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: when people were like, here's your like you know, critical

139
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: thinking like anti racism book reading list that you need

140
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: to see. I mean, there's a lot of good stuff

141
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: on there, but feel like bell Hooks was pretty underrepresented

142
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: on on some of those lists and for that reason alone. Look,

143
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean again, her her writing is powerful, it's thought

144
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: provoking Uh and man sixty young young, Um, okay and uh,

145
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: next up. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are trending. You Becka,

146
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: You're like, did you see what Ben Affleck said? And

147
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't see specifically what he said,

148
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: but I did see headlines that were like Ben Affleck

149
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: is getting messy about his divorce for right now for

150
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: some reason. You know, I love a celebrity news story.

151
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: I eat it up every day, but this one was

152
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: particularly funny to me because it's like, you're happy with

00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: the baddest you know, you've got the baddest girl in

156
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: the block, she loves to call herself. So I don't

157
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: understand why you're making any noise. Leave poor Jennifer Garner alone.

158
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: But essentially, she had said that if he had still

159
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: been married to Jennifer Garner to this day, that he

160
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: would continue to have an alcohol problem, and that just

161
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: made many people laugh. Just call him you know many things,

162
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: much like his character of gone Girl. Uh. You know,

163
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: he he got driven to rehab by Jennifer Garner. So

164
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: it's not really a thing kind to write. Did she

165
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: take his stinking acid jack in the box? Like right before?

166
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: And there's that thing where he was like, yeah, horrible

167
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: press photo. She was with you, sir? Yeah, I don't

168
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: think anybody with a back tattoo like is the horrible

169
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: bald eagle to phoenix. It's a phoenix that has risen

170
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: from the an. Either way, anyone with a backpacktor like

171
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't have any right to call anybody out about

172
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: their drinking problem. I'm sorry, yeah, or just and just

173
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: just a general of thumb, don't don't project your personal

174
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: issues to say that someone outside of yourself as a reason.

175
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I understand that people can you know,

176
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, cause us trauma and things like that, but

177
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: to just be like, yo, I'd still be drinking if

178
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: I was with her, you know what I mean? No, don't,

179
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: especially because there was an article I don't know a

180
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: little bit ago saying that Jennifer Garner and Jay Loo

181
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: were on good terms, that like they hung out with

182
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: each other's kids. So for me, it just seems yeah,

183
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 1: so it just seems little out of left field, like

184
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: why why why? Now? Wow? Yeah, exactly where's that energy.

185
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: You know, that's gonna you weird if Jennifer Garner sees

186
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,239
Speaker 1: j Low and she's like, the funk was that? Jenny?

187
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: Is it so? What it is? Oh? You want smoke?

188
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: That's what is that was going on? Because I can

189
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: deliver Jennifer Garner. Why I saw someone say, like everybody

190
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: leave America's kindergarten teacher alone? Yeah? Did she did? I

191
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: feel like people never she was like one of those

192
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: few celebrities that never had like people were never just

193
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: hating on her. Yeah, she seems you know, I obviously

194
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: know so little about her life, but you know, I'm

195
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: not I'm not in her spaces. But she seems non

196
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: problematic white woman, you know, like she's just like she

197
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: keeps herself. She does her little capital and commercial exactly.

198
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: She goes home, she does her little thing caping for

199
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: big banks and gets her secures her bag, and the

200
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: minds her business. Yeah, she minds her business. She's not

201
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: saying anything blatantly awful. You know, she's not doing weird interviews.

202
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: She plays lovely moms and lots of B level you

203
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: know movies like Love Simon, you know, and we love

204
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: her for that. And she stays in her lane. So yes,

205
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: unprovoked attack, I guess, but who knows. Because celebrities are

206
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: they aren't exactly the people we look to for the

207
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: healthiest of habits, so exactly. All right, let's take a

208
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. We'll talk some more

209
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: trends after this, and we're back. Cheesecake factory is trending

210
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: all because of a very interesting clip. Look, this is

211
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: about anti masakers, anti factors. They're right now, they're protesting

212
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: outside of a precinct in New York because a bunch

213
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: of people were arrested for going to a cheesecake factory

214
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: in Queens. As if the people had a cheesecake factory

215
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: don't have enough to deal with with that gigantic as

216
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: menu um to go in there and start refusing to

217
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: show their proof of vaccination and then just saying like

218
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: we're you know, we're fucking activists, were patriots, We're just

219
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna sit in here and demonstrate. Uh, And then like

220
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's like this clip of like the police

221
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: showing up, and you always just find that like they'll

222
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: never these people will never acknowledge what private property is

223
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: when it intersects with their ability to just completely ignore

224
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: what the law is because they'll say, yeah, and at

225
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: this point you'll if you don't leave, we're going to

226
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: have to arrest you for criminal truspact. Like actually, I'm

227
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: here as a public invitee to a business that patronizes public.

228
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: Therefore they're like first of them and they're allowed to

229
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: make their decisions. But when it immediately affects decisions they

230
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: want to make. All of a sudden, it's public and

231
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: exactly the rules no longer apply, and it is incredibly

232
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, who would have guessed that the cheesecake factory,

233
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: you know, huh, would have never crossed my mind that

234
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: something happened at the cheesecake But hey, look, I'll respect

235
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: to the cheesecake factory, shout out to the chicken littles,

236
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: one of my favorite dishes there. Uh, and the cheesecakes do.

237
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: But it is like the whole private property thing. It's

238
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: always funny. It's like in this sense, it's like, oh no,

239
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: this is not this is not private property. I can

240
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: do what I want. But when you use the N

241
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: word at the mall and someone catches you on camera

242
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: and you're like, go, feel me, this is private property.

243
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, very fluid definitions we have, um, but yeah,

244
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: just more nonsense, especially as you know, I think you

245
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: know in California are like we have a new mask

246
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: mandate now where you need to be mashed up indoors um,

247
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of your vaccination status. Because yeah, things

248
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: are getting a little bit um, you know, the the

249
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: infection rates are going up. There's also you know, omicron

250
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: out there, sons out there. I know, even being in

251
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: New York, COVID cases are absolutely rising. On a anecdotal note,

252
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of friends go to their corporate

253
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: parties here in New York and half of them have

254
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: come back with positive COVID cases. Yes, definitely, even those

255
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: who are vaccinated, boost it up. It is still rapidly spreading.

256
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: It is still a very active virus. So not something

257
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: to be played with. And definitely understand what the cheesecake

258
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: factory would call the cops because they're like, oh, okay,

259
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: don't worry, Yeah you can. But I think really though too,

260
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: they're like, wait, she's gonna come in here and not

261
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: order anything. Okay, we'll call the cops to then, like,

262
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: you're not fully wasting this business as time with this nonsense.

263
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: Next story woke is trending. Fuck um. And this is

264
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: because Governor Ron De Santis oh Man of the Great

265
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: State of Florida, he's announced the Stop Woke Act w

266
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: o K meaning the Stop Wrongs against Our kids and

267
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: Employees Act. I get that they couldn't quite it didn't

268
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: fully spell woke, but they went for it. Whoa roller

269
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: woa oake Virginia. Uh is how that would really look

270
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: if you used all those initials. But um, essentially all

271
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: this is is to say, we need to legislate against history.

272
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: We need to legislate against a thing that also isn't

273
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: even happening, in the form of they need to stop

274
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: teaching critical race theory to children in elementary school. When

275
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: again I have to keep saying this, it's not it's

276
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: like you've got to be a law student really to

277
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: begin hearing about this ship. Um, and it's not a

278
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: ship anyway. It's a very interesting topic. But of course

279
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't want it. Don't want to hurt our kids

280
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: because they feel that they this would allow them to

281
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: just have a negative sense of self. Uh, you know,

282
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: visa visse this kind of education. So it's kind of

283
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: funny to me. The critical race I mean, it's never

284
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: funny because it's racism. But in the sense that these

285
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: critical race theory conversations are happening in Southern states, that

286
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: we're never teaching the curriculum to begin with, to literally

287
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: just be asking schools to do the bare minium, which isn't,

288
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: like you just said, Myles, intense critical race theory, but

289
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: more just like, hey, there's actually not just two sides

290
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: of the story, but there's a right and a wrong

291
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: side of history. Which one do you want to be on.

292
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm presenting you both diplomatically, and you can choose the

293
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: path of whatever. Uh. Instead they're like, no, we're literally

294
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: gonna erase history. We're gonna go back a thousand years

295
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: in these mcgruger textbooks, and we already have, right, is

296
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: it McGregor whatever that McGregor Yeah, mcgruber, I might as

297
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: well be mcgruber because it is chaotic attempt to try

298
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: and fix something like mcgruber would, and by just being like, well,

299
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: then we just gotta burn all the books. I guess

300
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: that's the only way we can do it. I guess

301
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: what we have to do is stop kids from reading

302
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: or learning how to uh have any kind of uh

303
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: hearing processing retention because they can't. We don't want them

304
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: reading nothing. We don't want them hearing anything. Uh and

305
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: I guess that's going to be their path to righteousness.

306
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: But we'll see, like this whole thing is also being

307
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: framed as like kind of like this vigilante type bill

308
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: as well, where if a parent suspects that their kids

309
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: are being taught a thing that can't I think has

310
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: a very clear definition. But again, we always love to

311
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: see how Republicans do um that they can essentially sue

312
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: and collect attorney's fees so you know, deputize the the

313
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: parents to ruin the education system. And Uh, lastly, we

314
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: want to check in with that Peloton ad. We've been

315
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: talking a lot about Peloton, the timing of the ad.

316
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: Who knew what, when, where, how, why, and when did

317
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: it all go down? So um bea. You were saying

318
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: that this this was this was actually rapid response. It

319
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: was actually rapid response according to ad Week. Uh, they

320
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: didn't arry with Ryan Reynolds, and you know he talked

321
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: about how jeez ago, Ryan Reynolds with his Maximum Effort

322
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: agency made fun of Peloton during the ad of the

323
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: woman on the bike who looked you know, anxious Peloton wife,

324
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: the Peloton wife. Uh. And since then he's been in

325
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: conversations with Peloton han on and off, like they've had

326
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: a relationship and they're actually talking. Just a few weeks

327
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: before all of this, UM in the City, you know,

328
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: news broke about doing some work together. And so after

329
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: the you know, just like that episode aired, uh, Peloton

330
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: reached out to Ryan Reynolds to actually rectify and see

331
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: what they can do and spinning forty eight hours, it

332
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: was a lot of on the go, real time approvals.

333
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: As someone who came from the agency game, it's definitely,

334
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, quite the feat to see that they actually

335
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: did pull it off in forty eight hours, because it

336
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: is very hard to get all that stuff improved, especially

337
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: with a big a client as big as Peloton. A

338
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: lot of that ad work in the background requires a

339
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: lot of script approvals. But according to the Adweek article, UM,

340
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: it was a lot of Peloton giving the reins to

341
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds to say, you know what, we trust you,

342
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: let's get going, and they made it happen. It really

343
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: happened in forty eight hours, So believe it or not,

344
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: it was not planned. It was not a huge pr

345
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: stunt by HBO plus Peloton right right right, yeah, like yeah,

346
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: I think kills killed the guy. No, but it's fun too,

347
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: I think the Yeah, at the speed at which it happens,

348
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: like yet, to your point, anybody who is interacted with

349
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: a brand or has made content for a brand with

350
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: a brand near a brand, it takes ages. And half

351
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: the time you're talking to people who don't know what

352
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: they're doing, and they have an opinion on something creative

353
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: and you're like, you make like digital thermometers like don't tell,

354
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: don't give me a line read on this script here,

355
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: But that happens. So it's good to see that their

356
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: whole plan was. I think they recognize we can't gum

357
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: it up. Just the only way it's going to happen

358
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: is if you say, yeah, you go ahead, go ahead,

359
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, please do it, do it.

360
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: We trust you, because can you imagine, like typically there's

361
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: an agency in between you and the brand, and then

362
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: it's like then from there you don't even know who

363
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: the agency is talking to at the brand, who then

364
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: has to go get other buy in from people above them.

365
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: It's a fucking nightmare. So yeah, real time social work

366
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: is super tough when you are an ad agency working

367
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: with a brand. It's just like the there's this fun

368
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: idea that like, we can do real time social interactions,

369
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: but the reality is that you need three business stays

370
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: to get a tweet approved to reach out to a

371
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: celebrity because they wrote a viral tweet about your company, right,

372
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: and then it's no longer relevant and the celebrity doesn't

373
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: even want to engage the brand anymore. And like that

374
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: tweet was three days ago and they've already deleted different feet, right,

375
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: and they're like, also, like I just got this new

376
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 1: back tattoo, so like I'm not trying to switch up

377
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: the narrative on main right now by talk going back

378
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: to this brand talk. I just got this sick ass tattoo.

379
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: Thank you anyway, that's it for the trending topics today. Becca,

380
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for hopping in talking some ship

381
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: with me. Long may it last. Uh. And for everybody

382
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: out there, thank you so much for listening. You know

383
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: it's hard out there, so be kind to yourself, be

384
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: kind to other people more importantly too. And if sometimes

385
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: you know you got to wear that mask, that's what

386
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: you gotta do to keep people safe, maybe get that

387
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: ass vacs boosted, whatever you gotta do, because like it

388
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: or not, we're still in a pandemic. Uh and exactly,

389
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: and that's all we can do at the moment to

390
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: stay safe. Also, man, if you see some white supremacy

391
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: ship going and do something about, to say something about,

392
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: to speak up about it, let them know you're not

393
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: here for that nonsense. Okay, until next time. That's it.

394
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow morning with a brand spanking new episode.

395
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,560
