1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: As media. 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 2: When I was a high school teacher, I taught a 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 2: whole section on basically psychology, one O one Freud, post Freudians, Maslow, Pavlov, 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 2: the whole nine. Then we got to the post Freudians 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: and started talking about defense mechanisms. The one I want 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: to talk about today is reaction formation. The best way 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: to explain this was my experience with the World Cup. 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 2: Never really was into soccer, never understood it, didn't think 9 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: it was fun. 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: I'm a red blooded American. Soccer is not our sport. 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: But then I thought to myself, the entire planet shuts 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 2: down and throws a party. I'm saying civil wars have 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: been paused because World Cup was coming. Everybody can't be wrong. 14 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: That's gotta be the funnest time because the whole planet 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 2: is enjoying it. 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it's me. Maybe me not getting. 17 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: Into World Cup was just because I'm probably not good 18 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: at the sport and I feel like I can't be 19 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: the best at it, and I just don't understand what's happening. 20 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: So just to be like whatever, it's stupid. 21 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: The problem's probably you, which is probably why Turning Point 22 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: needed their own halftime show. You're not principled. You're pouting. 23 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: You got your arms folded outside of the party because 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: you're mad you're not getting your way. Listen, put on 25 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: your big boy pants. A hundred of the hottest humans 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 2: God has ever made our body rolling right now, Grab. 27 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: A malta itta Tolstone. 28 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: They're just bananas and come have a good time and 29 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: stop being stop acting like that. 30 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: Tap in with. 31 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: Me reaction formation is a post forty in concept where 32 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: a person decides, once they got rejected by something, that 33 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: that something is stupid or that they don't want it anymore. 34 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: It's like you go to club, you hit on a girl, 35 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: you want to dance with me. She's like no, You're 36 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: like whatever, you're ugly, your friend's cuter. Okay, I think 37 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: you're just madic got rejected. You clearly don't think she's ugly. 38 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: You're just mad she didn't. 39 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: Dance with you. You didn't get chose. Okay. 40 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: Now, let's set aside all of the obviousness of racism 41 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: and segregation that clearly is what happened with this turning 42 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: point thing. I'm not gonna drag kid Rock because he's 43 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: been dragged by people who are much better at drag me. 44 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: Which is really hard for me to admit that there's 45 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: somebody better at dragging somebody, especially somebody like Kid Rock. 46 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: We could drag him, you know, his culture, vultuedness, you know, 47 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: even in his own culture, trying to like tack on 48 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: to the m andem movement of being somebody from Detroit. 49 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: But here's the thing, M's actually from Detroit, Kid Rock 50 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: is not anyway. I I say this seriously, now that 51 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: it's all said and done, all the technical problems and all, 52 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: what was really the problem? Like seriously, I, as a 53 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: grown man, as a husband, as a father of two daughters, 54 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: have really had to ask myself a lot of questions. 55 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of damage I might have done to 56 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: my daughter's not knowing I did it just being an 57 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: apy man who has never processed their feelings or emotions. 58 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: Question I learned to ask myself is what is you 59 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: really mad about? 60 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: And why? 61 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: Why does that matter? Sometimes you may come up with 62 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: some truthful things. You may have a good point. Other 63 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: times you might discover that like you're just being a baby, 64 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: a selfish little baby. So I ask you, turning point Usa, 65 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: whistling Dixie halftime watchers, what was the problem. 66 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: Was his show not American enough. 67 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: I mean Ragathon, like we talked about on the episode this. 68 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: Week, it is birth in New York. 69 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 2: Of course, it's got his original influences from Panama and 70 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: Puerto Rico itself, but it's a new Eurekan thing that 71 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: has been influenced by hip hop and reggae and salsa 72 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: and all of that. But it doesn't happen if there 73 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: is no America. It's as American as jazz, as blues, 74 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: as folk music, as hip hop as chaw mane. That's 75 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: from San Francisco, So it's very American, Okay. So was 76 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: it not wholesome? Was it not Christian? I mean which 77 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: super Bowl has ever been Christian? And especially when this 78 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 2: was getting put together, two of the largest Christian acts 79 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: in Corey Ashbury is at that boy name and Forrest 80 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: Frank they said they was gonna do it, met with 81 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: the Turning Point team and was like, nah, that's not 82 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 2: what he was looking for. So your alternative wasn't Christian? 83 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 2: You booked a guy named kid Rock who's got lyrics 84 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 2: about statutory rate. Was not wholesome? Was there's no family values? 85 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: There was literally a wedding, bad buddy. There was a wedding. 86 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: Did y'all see the news that act like somebody actually 87 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: got married?

Nobody said you 93 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 2: wasn't welcome. You chose to have your own party. And 94 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: did you not see the messaging together? 95 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: We are America. 96 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: Only thing that drives out haters love only thing more 97 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: powerful to hate his love.
