1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I often like to think about what you

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: like in that audience, and I know full well open

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: will be like, look under your chair, and I would

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: look to the person to the left and be like,

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: let's under there. Let's do it, because I was like, oh,

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: what is she doing? I just it's very hard for

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: you to concert on anything. It's like, does Oprah have

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: something under her chair? I love that. I love the

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: idea that she gave everybody a car or whatever the

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: funk was under the chair, but then she also put

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: one under her chair for herself. She's like, I have

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: a card. I bet you got a billion dollars. We

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: hit it. You got a car, chips in your quality

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: bears are racists? Money term stuff can't tell me? Yeah, yeah,

15
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: there it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: to another sensational episode of My Mama Told Me, the

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: podcast where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of

18
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: black conspiracy theories and we finally work to prove that

19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: Dwayne the Rock Johnson is too damn buff to wipe

20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: himself thoroughly. You think the man is a Republican because

21
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: of financial reasons, No, he needs a slave to wipe

22
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: his butt now because his muscles get in the way

23
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: of a thorough wiping. That's the theory I'm spreading. That's

24
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: some ship I actually believe. Yeah, I don't think you

25
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: can reach back there anymore. I'm passionate about this subject.

26
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Don't bother voting. Look more into Dwayne's muscles and everything

27
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: that's blocking him from wiping himself. I'm your host, likes

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: think Kerman. I'm coming in hot today. Baby, I'm feeling good.

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: You know why, because my guest today she's wonderful. She's hilarious.

30
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: You've seen her on Netflix, You've seen her on Nailick.

31
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: She's so much fun. I'm so happy she's here. Give

32
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: it up from my guest ms. Nicole Buyer. Oh my god,

33
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: that made me so happy. I haven't heard it in

34
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, you gotta let that sink in for

35
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: a second. I really like that conspiracy theory that the

36
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: rock can't wipe. I believe that. I think he might

37
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: have a muddy butt because he's got too many muscles.

38
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Too money muscles leaves you with a muddy butt. That's

39
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: something my groom used to say all the time. Baby,

40
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: don't get too strong, you're gonna have a muddy but baby,

41
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't know when my grandmother became from the South,

42
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: but she did that from the South. That's a fair

43
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: guess that there's there's sort of a history there that

44
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: leads us to believe that's a real possibility for most

45
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: of us. I'm excited you're here. We have I would

46
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: say you came to us with a conspiracy theory that

47
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: is almost ubiquitous. It's everywhere, it's everybody saying it, everybody

48
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: knows it. It's maybe one of the most popular conspiracy

49
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: theories out in the world. You said, my mama told

50
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: me black don't crack. M black don't crack, that you'll

51
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: be the same age for forever. And then you see

52
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: it out in the world, you know, like Gabriel Union.

53
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: I think she's older than we all think. She looks beautiful.

54
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: That lady is gorgeous, stunning. Yes, like okay, So here's

55
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: what I think. I think the conspiracy only really goes

56
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: for women because sometimes black man loving this. This turned

57
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: on me very quickly, but go on, you finish your idea.

58
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe black men do age just a

59
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: little slower, but it's black women who really don't age. Sure, Okay,

60
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: I and I will say that there's a fair amount

61
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: of evidence that what you're saying is probably has at

62
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: least it's some legitimacy. Morgan Freeman is doing worse since

63
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: this elite tyson, you know what I mean. Like it's

64
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: there's a noticeable difference than the way that they're the

65
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: two are aging, and I honestly think it might be

66
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: because women just take care of their skin better in general.

67
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, and maybe like women, I don't know. I

68
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: don't want to say like men are worse than women,

69
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: but maybe that's a pretty controversial statement at these times.

70
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: On somebody and you know, you're just waiting at home

71
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: at night for someone to come home, says, let's wrinkled,

72
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: you stay a little tall. If you're just sitting there

73
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: in a boiling rage at the way that someone's treating you,

74
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: that's fair. Let's start from the beginning, Black don't Crack.

75
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: Let's really get into the history of black don't crack

76
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: for you. Where do you feel like you first heard

77
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: black don't crack? Somebody say it did? Was was it

78
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: a family member? It was a family member, And I'm

79
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: pretty sure the first time I heard it was one

80
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: of my cousins at like Thanksgiving said something about her

81
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: getting older, but she was like, but I still looked

82
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: the same in the day. And then another cousin was like,

83
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: black don't crack, and I was like, okay, black don't crack.

84
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: And now that's a thing in my vocabulary that I

85
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: say now yeah, yeah, yeah. So this cousin is like

86
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: basically trying to reassure herself, like, now I still got it,

87
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: and a catchphrase was now thrown into the ether than

88
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: you otherwise had not heard. When you heard it, you

89
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: were you immediately like, yes, that is fact or did

90
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: you have to like go through your head and be like,

91
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. I guess I just

92
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: the thing that I do is when new information hits

93
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: I go, okay, that's the thing now and that's true.

94
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: And then wait, wait, I'm sorry because I don't want

95
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: to just skip past that you're saying. When new information

96
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: is presented to you, you go, yes, absolutely, that is

97
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: a fact, and then you move forward. Yeah, it's a

98
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: bad habit. And now with the Internet, I have to

99
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: like stop myself because I love reposting things, So now

100
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 1: stop myself and like look it up. Nicole just because

101
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: like he read it doesn't mean it's true. It's a problem,

102
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: but you are literally what they're afraid of with like

103
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: these Russian hackers. I'm fully fake news all these people

104
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: who like every time that they published some article where

105
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: they're like the Russians are taking over there, they're hacking

106
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: our elections. Part of it was like, oh, I thought

107
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: they were like hacking into like the booths, stealing vote

108
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: same and that's what I would like say to people

109
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: until I like understood it, and it was like, oh no,

110
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: they just influenced it with like Facebook ads and ship

111
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, fuck, oh no, they've just been

112
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: private and messaging me. And uh, it turns out I've

113
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: been listening. I'm the one who told you, and I've

114
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: been telling everybody. I've been reading messages this new information.

115
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: I said, that's what it is. Sure does that then

116
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: make you nervous that black does in fact crack and

117
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: you've just been spreading it across the country. Is this

118
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: what you're gonna tell me that black does crack? I'm

119
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you anything of the sort. I'm listen.

120
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: I've got a little stock in this game too, But

121
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is is that it's making me nervous

122
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: that we're somehow aligning, and you've refused to do any research. Listen,

123
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it's so you do the research, you were wrong,

124
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: or you do the research and you were right. If

125
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: you skip three search, you could just be right. You

126
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: could just be right the whole time. And that's that's science,

127
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: and that's America. That's America. That's that's that good American science.

128
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Are there are there members of your family that you

129
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: feel like you could point to and go this is

130
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: evidence of of this conspiracy theory being true? Are people

131
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: in your inner circle if you will. Yeah, my sister specifically,

132
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: she is older than me. I'm like thirty five or

133
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: thirty six seven. She's she was born in eighty five.

134
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm terrible at math and remembering. But she truly looks

135
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: like she's a teenager. And she works in a school

136
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: and sometimes they'll be like, hey, gets a class because

137
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: she was a sub for a little bit, and she's like,

138
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm the teacher, and they're like, what she's

139
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: like five foot to Her skin is so clear, it's

140
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: so baby smooth. And then she doesn't really wear a

141
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: lot of makeup. And then she just looks so fucking young. Yeah,

142
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: and then my others and jury she looks so young,

143
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: and she's I think in her late forties. Maybe I

144
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: don't know, but she looks like she's in her twenties,

145
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: maybe like mid thirties. Yeah. I I similarly. And this

146
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: isn't it necessarily evidence of black don't crack, but it

147
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: is me sympathizing with your sister that I taught high

148
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: school when I was like twenty three twenty four, and

149
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: so there was a lot of that of like security

150
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: guards like stopping me in the hallway and being like,

151
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: where's your pass boy, You're going to the office, And

152
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, sir, I pay taxes, Please don't do this,

153
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: Please cut this out. And so I I sympathize with

154
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: a young looking person who well into their thirties is

155
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: still being sort of harassed by these other people who

156
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: are meant to protect them or at least keep them

157
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: unannoyed throughout the day. Wait where did you teach? I

158
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: taught for a year in Chicago and then for two

159
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: year is in Boston? Which one was worse? Oh See,

160
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: that's a tricky question because because then that comes down

161
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: to which kids did I like more, and some of

162
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: them probably listen to this, so they were all the

163
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: same pieces the ship to me. You know, I don't

164
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: want any of them to feel special, like they left

165
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: a lasting mark on my spirit. Fucking kids, that's how

166
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: I live my perfect answer. If you're listening children, fuck you.

167
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: I still resent you ten years later, even after I've

168
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: quit those jobs. So there's evidence in your family, there's

169
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: evidence out in the world. Black don't crack. Here's something

170
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: that I've been thinking about that I would love to

171
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: unpack with you. Do you think do you think that

172
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: this phrase has the possibility or potential of offending non

173
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: black counterparts? Are are non black peers? Tell me more

174
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: well not to be rude, But it seems as if

175
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: our paler friends get offended by everything, even if it

176
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with them. Because the phrase black

177
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: don't crack isn't saying black don't cracking. White is crusty.

178
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: Probably you're sucking dust, your nasty dusty bitches. It's not

179
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: saying that. God, I hope I wish that that was

180
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: on the back end of that entire phrase, is black

181
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: don't crack and white your nasty dusty bitches? You're cracking.

182
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: You're cracking. Honestly, it would be very funny. And then

183
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: I'd be like, yeah, should I get bad at that too?

184
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, it's just it's a sentence. It has

185
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: nothing to do with them, and they sometimes get mad

186
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: about it. Sure, yeah, that doesn't make sense to me.

187
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we could get political, and it's the same

188
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: thing with Black Lives Matter. Is nothing to do with

189
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: white people. It's just that certain people matter. Just it

190
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: doesn't It's it's like it's a period at the end

191
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: of the sentence. So yeah, yeah, just remove yourself from

192
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: the situation when nobody's talking about you. Sure, black don't

193
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: crack in a lot of ways. Is much like your

194
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: cousin being like, I still look good. I'm still proud

195
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: of the way that I look physically, and I would

196
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: love a catchphrase to help me really encompass that feeling,

197
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: make me feel pride about the way that I look.

198
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: And instead somebody's coming in like, bitch, how could you

199
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: believe in yourself in relation to me? Look at me?

200
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: Why are you not talking about me when you want

201
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: to feel good about you? Nuts? I ventured to guess

202
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: that part of what also is upsetting is that it

203
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: does sometimes get weaponized, right that, Like, it isn't always

204
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: just pride. We're not always just being like black, don't crack,

205
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: it's my birthday. Sometimes it's Now Look at this old motherfucker,

206
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Look at mcdonnald. He's all

207
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: bruised up and is going on with Mitch McConnell's hand glove.

208
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: What the fuck is going on? He's like dying. I

209
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: posted this the other day and I do stand by it.

210
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: I do think that it has that same look of

211
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: when Dumbledore touched that ring in Harry Potter and then

212
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: he was dying and Snape had to kill him, but

213
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: it was, you know, the whole thing. But yeah, No,

214
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: it's clearly a hand of death. And we don't know

215
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: why he's dying or under what circumstances he's going to

216
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: eventually be finished off, but he's clearly this is it

217
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: for all this, He's leaving this plane. And that said,

218
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: how can you look at that person and say that

219
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: white and black are the same in terms of the

220
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: way that they age. Mitch McConnell's forty five years old. No,

221
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Oh my god, I almost fell out

222
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: of my chair. I was like, that can't. That's sick.

223
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Mitch mcconnald is thirty eight years old. I would have

224
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: been telling people he forty five years old. Y'all, this

225
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: is new information. He's you can't keep living this way.

226
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: Seventy eight is what I'm being told he's And this

227
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: is upsetting. My producer, Hans is telling me he's seventy eight,

228
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: and he's saying he actually looks kind of good for seven.

229
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so either. Yeah,

230
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: how old is Seilee Tyson? She looks good. She's ninety nine.

231
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: It looks good. Now I'm old black people? Wait, did

232
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: you do old black celebrities are just old black people?

233
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: Just showing me pictures of just literally old, right, just

234
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: a dude on a Bluetooth phone, a lady stern apot

235
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: more or less, Let's see how olds Patti La Bell. Oh,

236
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: Patty's got to be at least seventy Yeah, I would

237
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: say seventy four. That's my guests, I think so. I

238
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: can't figure out how to looking it up. I'm like

239
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: reacting under the premise that you're going to be looking

240
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: it up. But no, you're like, yeah, no, way to tell.

241
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: There's no way from looking now I'm looking it up. Yeah,

242
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: she sent me six seven six, two years older than her. Yall,

243
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: this man's rotten. Yeah, that's a rotting man. That's not

244
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: good leather at all. Whatever is on the inside. Speaking Patty,

245
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: have you ever seen were stranging from the subject, But

246
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: have you ever seen her sing for Bill Clinton? No Christmas,

247
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: Christmas something I think maybe like a Christmas tree ceremony.

248
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: And she doesn't know the words to this song, and

249
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: she's got cue cards and they start the music. She's like,

250
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: why the cute gods honey? With the backup singers. It's

251
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: honestly the funniest thing I've ever seen. It's I love that.

252
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: There's nothing funnier to me in the world than when

253
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: like musicians don't know the words to their own songs

254
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: and then they just have to like keep pretending like

255
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: they're invested in this music. That changed like, Honey, I

256
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: don't know the words the Gods, I gotta go fast

257
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: to honey. It's really, honestly one of the funniest things

258
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. I also love that

259
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: because it was probably in an error where there was

260
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: no teleprompter and literally was somebody needing to move cards

261
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: out of the way because she's just yelling at a

262
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: dude holding cards and trying to frantically throw them out

263
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: of the way with the words to a song we

264
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: all know except for her apparently. I think it was

265
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: this Christmas now? Is that? Yeah? I don't know if

266
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: it's the one she was thinking, but it's definitely a song.

267
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: It is a song. Sure. So again we're looking at

268
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: the point in which black don't crack sort of is

269
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: becoming most evident when we look at like a Mitch McConnell, right,

270
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: he obviously has cracked. A Patti label is cracking far

271
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: less and far sort of more gracefully than a Mitch

272
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: McConnell would be. Here's where I get curious, what point

273
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: do you think that this becomes a real factor and

274
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: the possibility for offending in the aging process for our

275
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: paler friends as you put it, Wait, what do you mean? Sorry?

276
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, at what age are we starting to like,

277
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: does this become personal? When I go black don't crack?

278
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: Are they looking at me and going, fuck you man,

279
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm cracking? Honestly, I think pretty early like, oh, you're

280
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: being generous, maybe forty. Actually know, some people went to

281
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: high school with look fucked up, So I'm gonna say

282
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: thirty two. That sounds more right. You know who I

283
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: think about is uh what was that Netflix reality show

284
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: where they couldn't see each other but then they could

285
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: see each other? Oh, love at first sight? No blind? Love,

286
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: Love is blind? I didn't, but I know I know

287
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: about it a little. There's that lady who everybody hated, Jessica,

288
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: who I was certain when they introduced her was a

289
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: solid forty forty nine, I would say, and then they

290
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: revealed that she was like thirty three, and I was devastating.

291
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, this is horrible. These you were

292
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: gorgeous forty nine. That happens a lot on reality shows.

293
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: We're like, wow, look at this very old white lady

294
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: and they're like twenty two and you're like, you've had

295
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: a tough twenty two years. Wow, I can't believe you

296
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: only wanted to write what happened to you in these

297
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: twenty two years and make you look like that. But then,

298
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: at least based off of the premise that we've set up,

299
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: what did happen to you in twenty two years? Because

300
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: on average, black people live, I would argue harder lives

301
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: than white people tend to. Yeah, we sure do, but

302
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: maybe we live harder lives, but we're not like super

303
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: angry about it all the time like white people are

304
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: pretty joyful. Sure, so maybe it's like we look at

305
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: hardships and we're joyful about it, and then our skin

306
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: is like producing I don't know happy serums. I don't

307
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: find it, but I don't know. I don't know speculating

308
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: love that of all the chemicals that that you could

309
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: have listed off, you had. I imagine you watched their

310
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: face many times and you've looked at the chemicals on

311
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: the back, and you've been like, oh that's in there,

312
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: Oh this is in there, And the first thing that

313
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: popped into your head was happy ceral. He said, Yeah,

314
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: happy serum is being admitted from our our ports that

315
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: allows us to look youthful in relation to our white counterparts.

316
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: Hey stand by it all right? Well, who am I

317
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: to argue? We're gonna take a break and we'll be

318
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: back with more Nicole by or and more, my mama

319
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: told me, And we are back. If you want to

320
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 1: reach those kids on the streets, then you gotta do

321
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: a rep, do a hip hop beat. So I gave

322
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: my swimming an urban kick. Rhymes are flying, macho, sick.

323
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: My crew is big and it keeps getting bigger. That's

324
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: because Jesus Christ. Just yeah, we're back here and more.

325
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: My moment told me more Nicole buyer, who are still

326
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: talking about that black skin and white doesn't crack and

327
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: if it ever will crack? Do you feel this will

328
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: get us into the research? Is? I think it's a

329
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 1: good leading question into the research. Do you feel like

330
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: there's anything misleading in the phrase black don't crack? M Yeah,

331
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: she'd probably be black and brown don't crack. Oh that

332
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: it should be more all encompassing. That's fair. Yeah, I

333
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: think our darker skinned friends all aged slower than our

334
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: alabaster friends. Sure, and that's a fair argument. I've heard

335
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: a few other like, uh, catch like Asian don't raise him?

336
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: Heard that no, but that's fun. Yeah, that's pretty cool,

337
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: Like I've heard that one. I think Kim new Money

338
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: was the person who said that to me once, and

339
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: I was like, hell, yeah, I can for she's great. Wait,

340
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: let's see Puerto Rican their skin ain't weaken. I want

341
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: to do I want to do Dominican and skin akin,

342
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: But I can't. I can't piece it together. Do you

343
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Not coming together? You will stay Skinnican. No,

344
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: I'll have to. I'll have to come back to you.

345
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: Doman one really came to me. Your skin ain't thinn akin. Yes,

346
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: them skin ain't. Uh yeah, that one's a little tougher. Yep.

347
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: We should have just stopped at your Puerto Rican one,

348
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: but I had to keep it going. So I asked

349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: that question because in my research, one of the things

350
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: that sort of came out of a lot of this

351
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: conversation was this issue of aging, Right, And we sort

352
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: of are talking about aging on the physical level, but

353
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: the reality is is that black people tend to die

354
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: much younger than their white counterparts, right that, like, we're

355
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: not actually living in a world where black people aren't cracking.

356
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: They're just not cracking on the outside. They're cracking actually

357
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: a lot faster than literally everyone else. And so I

358
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: looked up the life expectancy for people based on their race,

359
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: and Asians are the ones who are living the longest.

360
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: They are in fact not raisinging and living around eighties

361
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: six years, whereas Latinos go about eight one eight two.

362
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: Whites are in the middle there at like seventy seventy eight,

363
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: seventy nine. Native Americans are coming around at seventy seven,

364
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: and then black people are stopping at seventy five. Dang. Yeah,

365
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: so we're all like, uh, twelve years behind our Asian counterpart. No,

366
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: twelve years of slave that's what they were wrong about that. Yeah,

367
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: it's it was heartbreaking, but I did find some comfort

368
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: in realizing that white people don't live nearly as long

369
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: as their lives are set up for them to live,

370
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yes, that I mean it

371
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: is kind of funny that they have a lot of advantages,

372
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: but they don't live the longest. No, you're barely living

373
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: longer than us, and y'all have every advantage in this country.

374
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: What are you doing wrong that's making you? You do that?

375
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: Leave those hor cruxes alone and live your life. Some

376
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: of our Alabaster friends are doing weird. Ship Like, what

377
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: did that president say? He said that president he was

378
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: like drink bleach and ship like, that man is wild?

379
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: What did Herbert Hoover say? Yeah? It was the one

380
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: that none of us like, and he's the recent one. Yeah,

381
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: little pump just endorsed him, So he's doing pretty good,

382
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: little pump, you know, little pup. Yeah, he said he

383
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to pay an extra thirty three percent in taxes,

384
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: but he didn't want to just leave it at like,

385
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm voting for Donald Trump this year.

386
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: He made an Instagram video where he said, fuck sleepy

387
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, suck my dick, nigga, I'm not paying another

388
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: thirty three percent in taxes. And it was like, all right,

389
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: little pump, this seems excessive. It doesn't make scessive, and

390
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't think so he's the what you have to

391
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: pay an extra thirty percent in taxes. I think a

392
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: lot of people of a certain wealth are now worried

393
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden has who has been pretty open about

394
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: wanting to tax the wealthy differently than Trump has been

395
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: taxing them, is suddenly going to it to the most

396
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: extreme taxing in all of history, when in fact, he's

397
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: probably just gonna like charge them a little extra from

398
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: what they previously were being charged. You'll be fine, But

399
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: that's not how rappers deal with their problems. You know.

400
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, I wish people could see a

401
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: little pump and be like, oh, good for a little

402
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: pumping his millions of dollars. I don't have millions of dollars,

403
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: so I would like his so jis taxes. Sure, that's

404
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: not people's mentalities are right, and that's a good point.

405
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: The instinct should be, oh, little pump got a lot

406
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: of money. I'm trying to get some of that money.

407
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: I would love for that money to go towards infrastructure

408
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: in schools this year have like little pump university state

409
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: institutions because he got tax just a little bit more. Sure,

410
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: But instead we're like, we gotta protect little pumps money.

411
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: It's so wild. But like people who don't make any

412
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: money are like, yeah, we gotta follow little pump. Mm

413
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: hmm man. Okay, So let's unpack a little bit more

414
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: of this conspiracy theory. Obviously, black people do technically crack right,

415
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: but there is a lot of evidence that we do

416
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: look good and look better than our white counterparts all

417
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: the way up until the day that we die. Scientific evidence,

418
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: not just stuff you read and then go on and

419
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: spread to strangers until someone else refutes it and tells

420
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: you to say something different. So let's start with the beginning.

421
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: One of the things that they say makes black skin

422
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: age better is the amount of collagen and melanin in

423
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: black skin. So obviously melanin is the pigment that we

424
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: produce for our skin that protects us against UV rays.

425
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: And in nineteen seventy nine, this person k K B

426
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: found that on average, five percent of ultra violet A

427
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: rays penetry Caucasian skin, while fewer than eighteen percent get

428
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: through black skin, which is why, like our photo aging

429
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: is different, right that, Like they're just soaking up all

430
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: these rays and it's you know, wearing down their flesh

431
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: in a way that black skin tends to reflect and

432
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: not so. So the sun is literally melting white people

433
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: from the outside in. That's right, that's wild. They are

434
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: sun dried tomatoes of human beings. And while delicious, that's

435
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: not exactly a great look for you physically. This is incredible. So,

436
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: like I wear sunscreen, so all black people should wear sunscreens,

437
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: so then none of the rays penetrate you and you

438
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: stay young forever. That's right, you want, I think you

439
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: would like as few rays of as possible based off

440
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: of the research that I've seen to be uh sort

441
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: of getting into you. And they said mixed people myself

442
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: tend to fall in the middle, which makes sense, so

443
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: we will age better than our white counterparts, but not

444
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: nearly as good as our darker skin counterparts. Okay, so

445
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: I was you know, this hasn't been a good week

446
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: for me as far as stuff I'm gathering. But you know, yeah,

447
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: but you got a little bit of protection. Your half sure,

448
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: half protective. I don't know your racial makeup. I shouldn't

449
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: have said half protective. No, it's exactly right, It's exactly right.

450
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: He nailed it. So then it talks a little bit

451
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: about why Asians don't age the way that white people do,

452
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: and it said that Asian people actually have a different

453
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: kind of melanin called feel melanin, which is why it's similar,

454
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: but it basically is a different I guess like tone

455
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: of it, and they have a lot of this feel

456
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: melanin that basically allows them the age at a slower

457
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: rate than white people as well. Okay, yeah, so there's

458
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: some science here. Now here's where it gets a little

459
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: less exciting is although this is obviously good, there are

460
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: some downsides to black skin. So black skin is more

461
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: prone to discoloration, dark spots, pigmentation, and keyloid scarlet, right,

462
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: which is why you know a lot of times we

463
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: have these big scars on our bodies and weird places

464
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: from small cuts. My mom had a scar on her

465
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: arm for years that was like from a small like

466
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: razor cut, but it turned into like a giant key

467
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: lloyd because that, I guess happens a lot more with

468
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: melanated skin. M m m m m. Yeah. Before I

469
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: got my nose ring, they were like, do you get keloids?

470
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, what do you mean? They're like

471
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: black people get keyloids, so like you might have a

472
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: keylod on your nose if it doesn't heal right? And

473
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: I was like what no? And I was like Pierson,

474
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: I was like, I hope it heels well? Right? Why

475
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: did you wait till I sat down and tell me? Yeah?

476
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: It's like this could have been told me in the

477
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: waiting room. I was filling it all the paperwork, all right.

478
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: I might have not signed my name on that that

479
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: line that you asked me to had I known any

480
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: of that. Wait, Linkston, do you scar poorly? About? Do

481
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: you do? You? Guess? I think you're doing fine? Yeah, listen,

482
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: do you scar poorly? Thank you for asking Nicole. I, Uh,

483
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: I think so I tend. I think I tend to

484
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: key Lloyd more than uh the average person. And I

485
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: think I imagine some of that has to do with

486
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: like genetic ship that like if my mom gets a

487
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: lot of key Lloyd's, I'm probably gonna get a lot

488
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: of key Lloyd's, and black people just pass that down

489
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: to each other more frequently than white people do, if

490
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: that makes sense. It does. I get like dark spots

491
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: I have, Like I don't like my If I cut myself,

492
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: it won't heal, Like I'll just have a scar for

493
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: the like forever. I have so many scars on me. Oh,

494
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: and it's like simple cuts, not like something that like

495
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: should have left any marketing. But sometimes they'll fade away.

496
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: So like I had to cut on my looking for

497
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: it on my hand and it was like on my finger,

498
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: and I have the scar for like a super long time.

499
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: But I think it's like finally faded. I have a

500
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: scar in the middle of my forehead that I don't

501
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: think it's ever going to fucking fade. And then what

502
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: happened in the middle of your forehead? I fell down.

503
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: It's a rather long story. I got knocked down by

504
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: a homeless man in Central Park and I was drunk.

505
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: It's honestly the dumbest story. Okay, here was the cliff

506
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: notes version. I was blacked out drunk. We were playing

507
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: photo scavenger hunt, so we had like a whole list

508
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: of stuff that we had to take photos with. And

509
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: I got off the train because I had to pee,

510
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: and I said I'll be right back. Trains don't let

511
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: you do that. So then I was like, you yelled

512
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: it at the conductor as he's out, I'll be right

513
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: back and he's like, nam, we're leaving you. You're trying

514
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: to pee on the platform. So then I went above ground. Also,

515
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: I didn't have a purse because I gave it to

516
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: my friend and I went to Central Park to look

517
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: for them, and then unhoused friend, I was like, do

518
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: you want to smoke weed? And I was in the

519
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: early twenties and I said yes please. I never turned

520
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: out and then he was like rolling this blunt and

521
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: there was like sticks in it, and I was like

522
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: that's not wait and I started screaming and then he

523
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: hit me on my jaw and then like not super hard,

524
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: but like to be like shut up, and then you

525
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: blowing up my st Should I legal yet? Yeah, this

526
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: is like ten years ago. We could be arrested. And

527
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: I was hammered, so I lost my balance and fell

528
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: without putting a single arm out to my fault. Wow,

529
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: you full on did that thing? What are those like

530
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: those topsy things that like you punch them and they

531
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: like fall straight and then bounce back. And that's exactly

532
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: what I did. And I didn't bounce back. I just

533
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: it was a thud. And I lived there and he

534
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, oh, well, I'm glad I killed

535
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: a black lady because nobody will come looking. Do do

536
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: do do? Wow? That's horrifying. Uh huh. But you know

537
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: she's still living. She hasn't fully cracked, she hasn't fully cracked,

538
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: but she bears the scar of the girl who lived.

539
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: Yeah it no, I can't see it at all. Let's

540
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: see if you can. I can, Okay, I can see

541
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: a little something. This is great for our listening, hearing

542
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: me hearing me vaguely see a scar over a zoom.

543
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: You know they'll keep them engaged. You have to remember

544
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: it's a audio medium. Okay, here's where the research really

545
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: took me into something that I got excited about. Recently

546
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: in a Rutger's New Jersey medical study suggested that black

547
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: people are born with denser bones in their face, and

548
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: these bones also don't break down as quickly, especially the

549
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: bone between the eyes and the cheekbones, which is part

550
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: of the reason that we age so much better than

551
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: our white counterparts. So I'm literally I'm big boned. It's

552
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm big. I'm big boned. Wipe your eyes, stop crying.

553
00:35:52,280 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: What are you crying for? Just fat my face, all

554
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: these beautiful, dense bones. Oh, I've never been so happy

555
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: that my bones were heavy. Yeah, it's fascinating. They fucking

556
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: love that we had bigger, denser bones. Yeah, it's so

557
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: it got me excited at first, and then I started

558
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 1: to get nervous. And it's where I'll take you down

559
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: where my brain goes always. But I got nervous because

560
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: when you start saying that we have a different biological

561
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: makeup than white people, it starts to get into that

562
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: space where like we're measuring skulls like eugenics. Do you

563
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean that? Like, there was an entire

564
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: science at one point in this country that basically went

565
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: like their heads are like monkey heads. So they should

566
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: be slaves and the rest of us should be out

567
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: living in the world. And so while I'm excited that

568
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: we don't age the same way, I am nervous that, like,

569
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: who came up with this ship? You know what I mean,

570
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: what's your plans? Okay? I hope the person who like

571
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: this had a friend it was like, yes, I'll donate

572
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: my skull to science, and then they're like, oh cool,

573
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: this is really great. And then that's how they figured

574
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: it out, and not that they like dug up an

575
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: old black light and I'll get our Yeah, I don't

576
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,479
Speaker 1: understand how experienced experiments like that happened. Well I'm glad

577
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: you're bringing that up, because I looked up where it

578
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: came from, and it comes from this dude name Boris Passover. Right, Yeah,

579
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: Boris ain't a good start. But Boris was doing a

580
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 1: study back at Yale in likeeen on the bony structure

581
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: of the aging face, right, just general faces. But he

582
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: was doing it at Yale, and so all of the

583
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: people that were coming to his study or sort of

584
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: being offered as patients for his study were white people,

585
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: Like literally every single one of his patients was white.

586
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: And then he gets transferred, he gets a new job

587
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: over in New Jersey. He's working in Newark, and suddenly

588
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: he is doing the exact same study, but half of

589
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: his patients are now black because New Orks are more black,

590
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: more diverse city. And so what he realizes the products

591
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: that he was receiving, the things that he's getting out

592
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: of this study are showing completely different results when he's

593
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: looking at the black people instead of the white people.

594
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: It's fucked up that a lot of experiments and a

595
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: lot of research is done with white as the base,

596
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: and then they don't look at anything else and then

597
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: are surprised when they find different results with different people.

598
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, and it's the same thing with mental illness.

599
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: A lot of mental illness is studied only in men

600
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: and not women. So like, we just figured out what

601
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: a d D or a d h D looks like

602
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: in little girls and women, And I was like, that

603
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: could have helped me when I was a child. You know,

604
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't just chatty because I was a girl, fucking

605
00:38:54,760 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: chatty because I couldn't concentrate. That's exactly, and listen, that's

606
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: how they get you. I think you're exactly right that

607
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: this is a weird both an encouraging thing, right, that

608
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: he discovered, oh shit, this entire group of people is

609
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: different than this group of people. I want to study that.

610
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged by that. Blah blah blah. But there's something

611
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: really sad about the idea that he had to go

612
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: to fucking nerk and he would have never even thought

613
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: to look at black people unless he was put in

614
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: circumstances where he was forced to look at black people.

615
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: Right in the same way that to your point, you

616
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: don't discover as a young lady that you have a

617
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: d h D or some sort of attention issue because

618
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: they're not treating you as the subject. They're just treating

619
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: you as like a girl doing girl stuff. We don't

620
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:49,479
Speaker 1: know that ain't science. She's just a girl. Yeah yeah,

621
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: fully wild. And then I was like, I think my

622
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: mom is a d D. You know, it's a whole thing.

623
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: It's a whole, fun little mystery to figure out. I

624
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: love that you were just going around the house accused

625
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: and everybody you look under your chairs. You no, no concentrate,

626
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: look under the chair, stop looking over here. But I

627
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: think one of the larger things that this sort of

628
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: left me with one of the larger feelings, fears, and

629
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: celebrations that it left me with is while it's beautiful

630
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: that black people in fact do not crack, that our

631
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: bones are our dentser, we got them big bones, as

632
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: you put it, it also made me really sad about

633
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: how many resources are black people being left without because

634
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: science didn't want to do the work all of them.

635
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a very nice way to stop hypertension

636
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: and diabetes and black people, it's just not studied in

637
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: black people, so we suffer. Yes, I'm sure there's a

638
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: very simple fix to it, but you know, you have

639
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: to run tests, and you have to It takes a

640
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: while to figure it out, but you know, right, you

641
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: have to be down to do the work for the

642
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: community that actually is suffering, not just do the work

643
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: for the community you're trying to protect. Thanks. Yeah, that's it,

644
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: you heard. There's no other reason for us to keep

645
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: talking in this. We're gonna take a break. We'll be

646
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: back with more, Nicole Buyer, more, my mama told me.

647
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: And we are back. Do you ever feel, you know,

648
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: not so fresh? No? No, yeah, we're back here with more,

649
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: my mama told me more. Nicole Buyer. You only have

650
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: a genuine reaction. Mama, do you ever feel not so fresh?

651
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: I would never ask my mother if that They don't

652
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: remember that commercial? No is that? Yeah? It was for

653
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: like a douche product that they were selling when they

654
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: were still trying to convince women to vinegar their puss

655
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: of getting that that fragrance sent out. It's so wild

656
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: that some man was like, I'll eat her out. How

657
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: do we fin it? I don't know. Vinegar cleans after

658
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: you make this so like, I love that. Vinegar was

659
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: the first instinct he could come up with of like

660
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: that's how much he hated women. Was He was like,

661
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: I need something that I used to clean my house

662
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: and to like flush out like my insides is vinegar.

663
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: I'm not going with like flowers and dainty things. Killed

664
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: the smell. I wanted to be like an eating like

665
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: a wet piece of plastic, Like I don't want any smell.

666
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: Better be olderless, otherwise I can't enjoy it, even though

667
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: my balls smell like God knows what. Yeah, sometimes Pauls

668
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: are really upsetting. Not sometimes almost all the time. There

669
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: are some days where I smell myself and I'm like, God, damn,

670
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm lucky. Somebody loves me. Oh that's nice think that. Yeah,

671
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: I put it in my vow, but apparently my wife

672
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: didn't care for that part. I don't like that part, right, lady.

673
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't for you, it was for us. Sorry about it.

674
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm a comedian. Did you forget? Did you do funny vows?

675
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: I did? I tried to, at least, I you know,

676
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: I felt I don't know if you feel this way.

677
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: If I don't do something funny in almost everything that

678
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: I do, I feel like I'm being dishonest to myself. Uh,

679
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: that is fully how I feel. For a while, I

680
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: was like, I think of any behind a wall, and

681
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I genuinely love making people laugh.

682
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: You know. If I'm not doing that, then I'm doing

683
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: something weird. Yeah, it just feels like I'm pretending if

684
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm not at least attempting to be funny. I'm fine

685
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: with bombing. Like, I'll try to be funny in something

686
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: that does not require really funny and bomb like a motherfucker,

687
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: and I do it all the time, but I gotta

688
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: at least try otherwise Papa feel sick. All right, let's

689
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: get into this game. I have a fun game for

690
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: us to play. I know you run a wonderful ninety

691
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: Day Fiance podcast. You have a podcast where you unpack

692
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: all of the happenings on ninety Day Fiance. I personally

693
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: am a massive fan of ninety Day Fiance. Didn't know. Okay,

694
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: do you watch the spinoffs as well? I do. Unfortunately,

695
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: I don't believe that you can watch the show and

696
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: truly call yourself a fan without then, you know, finding

697
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: yourselves in the Darcy and State seas of the world.

698
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: I love Darcy and Stacy. I don't think they are sick,

699
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: and I do watch it, and then this, like the

700
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: last couple episode, Stacy has been crying and I was like,

701
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: Stacy didn't even make up her bed. These pillows don't matter.

702
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: She's not wearing a lavish outfit, like what are we doing, Darcy?

703
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: And also their dad is from Cape verdie So I

704
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: call them my black queens, even though it's off the

705
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: coast of Africa. They might be like more Portuguese than anything,

706
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: but like thinking they're black, I've been I'll be honest,

707
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: I've been wondering this whole time what race they are.

708
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: And we had landed on Italian, but now that makes

709
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: more Yes, So people think they're Italian, but their dad

710
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: is from I believe his people are from cape Verday

711
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: and then their mom, I think is white, so they're

712
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: she's like half cape Verdian and a good way to be.

713
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: Like it's like Amber Roses cape Verdian. So it's like

714
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: they're like kind of like Amber Rosy. Do you watch

715
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: the family Chantel I do not. I lived, I will

716
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: say about cape verdi and people though I lived in

717
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: Boston for multiple years and one of the things that

718
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: you find out is Boston has like one of the

719
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: biggest cape Verdian populations in the US, and they are

720
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: infamous in Boston for being like insane wild people that

721
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: like one of the most dangerous parts of the city

722
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: of Boston is completely made up of cape Verdian people,

723
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: and they blame them for every bad thing that happens

724
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: in the city. Yep. So all that crazy that's in

725
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: Darcy and Stacy apparently is just the cape Verdian deep

726
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: in their room. This brings me joy but also makes

727
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: me sad. Sure, sure, you mean stigmatizing a group of people.

728
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel good in your spirit. I don't think

729
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: I like that I don't think I like stereotyping are racism,

730
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: Those things are bad. Okay, all right, let's get into

731
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: this game. We've got a very important game game that

732
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: I like to call and this is a brand new game.

733
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: It's called ninety Day con Spirit saying, yeah, ninety day Conspiracy.

734
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: The way we're gonna play this game is, I'm going

735
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: to present to you a few of my personal favorite

736
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: people throughout the ninety Day Fiance multiverse, And what I

737
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: would love for you to do is just unpack whether

738
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: or not you think that they would make effective cult leaders.

739
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: Do you think that they could effectively lead their own cult,

740
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: ideally within the ninety day window that they have to

741
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: come to America and get married? So? Uh, Starting off,

742
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: he gave us a song about her, Let's go with

743
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: with baby Girl Lisa. How are you feeling about Lisa's

744
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: potential to lead a cult? I? Okay, just the fact

745
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: that Lucien was so dedicated to her, even though his

746
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: friends the Goofball's Light were like, she's discussed everyone in

747
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: his life was like, this woman is trash, she is disgusting,

748
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: and they even when they got married, he was like,

749
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: I think you have to wear a brawl with that

750
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 1: dress and she's like no, So I think she could

751
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: lead a cult specifically because she has this man entranced

752
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: by her and she literally looks like a wet cigarette,

753
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: Like she's just disgusting. She, I would argue, as one

754
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: of the most gruesome figures that has ever made their

755
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: way across the ninety fiance screen. In the fact that

756
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: he has found like a contentment in that uh leads

757
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: me to believe that she has to be persuasive in

758
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: some kind of way. I agree with you. I think

759
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: baby girl Lisa would make a pretty good cult leader. Okay,

760
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: let's let's go in a different direction. Muhammad of season two,

761
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: he dated Danielle and she had the three kids, and

762
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: he came and pulled a lot of shenanigids on her.

763
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about his potential sex? That's right,

764
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: I do not think mommed but be an effective cult leader. Okay,

765
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: tell me why. He just he's not dedicated. He doesn't

766
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 1: understand that you need to make sacrifices. On their wedding day,

767
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: they were like, you may now kiss the Brian and

768
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: he said no, I cannot for religious reasons, and did

769
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: not expand on to what the religious reasons were that

770
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: then you have to do some of the dirty ships.

771
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: And the dirty ship is kissing your new wife Danielle.

772
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: That's right. He wouldn't even explain what part of his

773
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: religion was keeping him from doing it. He was just like,

774
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: not dog, it's that time of the month. I can't

775
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: do it. At the reunion, said she had a stinky

776
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: pussy on national television. That was that was unkind. He

777
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: wasn't a kind man. He also got other women pregnant

778
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: while he was married to her and was like traveling

779
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: to Florida to go he and he lost weight and

780
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 1: got like a cool haircut and just she said, I'm

781
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna send you back to where you came from. Mohammed.

782
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: I would be a part of Daniel's cult. I could

783
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: listen to her all day. I love Oh god, I

784
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: couldn't for a second. I feel I never wanted to

785
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: get some kids out of a house more than when

786
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: she was like, the lights got turned off. This is

787
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: not a way to live. She's like, I love you, mom,

788
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: but right she wasn't even a good listener. He's like,

789
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: we got to get the lights back on, and she

790
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: was like, mommed, I love you, it's not good. It's

791
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: a bad set up. But okay, so Mohammed would not

792
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 1: make a good cult leader. So here's my wife's favorite.

793
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: She loves an Fisa. How are you feeling about an

794
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: Fisa being a potential cult lead? And I think she

795
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: could be a cult leader because she's terrifying. See the

796
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: way this woman screams is intense. And George was just like,

797
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: here's your makeup bag, and she like, yeah, she would

798
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: scream you into the cult. Yes, I think that she

799
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: would make an effective cult leader. It would have to

800
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: be some version of a sex cult. But that a

801
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: sex cult that doesn't allow you to have sex with them.

802
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: Uh Like it's it's a weird setup. But I do

803
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: think that she has all the potential to at least

804
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: break the brain of another human being. I agree. Okay,

805
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: here's one that I think would be interesting. Let's talk

806
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: Tom Tom Darcy infamy. So something in me is like, yes,

807
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: Tom would be a good cult leader because he strung

808
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: with Darcy along and you know, would do things where

809
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: he was like I would have proposed to you if

810
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: we had gone on the vacation. I wanted to go on,

811
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: but then I was like it takes a woman like

812
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: Darcy to be susceptible to that. So then I was

813
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: like no, But then I said yes, because there's lots

814
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: of women like Darcy. I think you're on a cult.

815
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: I think it would only be filled with women. I agree,

816
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: And I think that there's not a big difference between

817
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: Tom and Keith Rnery. Do you know what I mean that?

818
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: Like the next hum guy like, I'm not I'm not

819
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: into it. Oh you're not into it? Okay, Well, the

820
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: same energy of like you find some broken individuals, some

821
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: people who need this kind of energy, and then you

822
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,919
Speaker 1: just maximize it. Could he lead a big, famous cult.

823
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: Probably not, but he could get about six or seven

824
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,959
Speaker 1: goofballs in the house and and have them doing push

825
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: ups that weird talents at night. You know what I mean.

826
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: I believe in Tom in that way. I believe in

827
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: Cob too. Yeah, he'll give everyone a key the Wonder

828
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: to some weird gold key that clearly doesn't work on

829
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: anyone's home. My favorite thing about that key was they

830
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: stayed in the airbnb. They do even stay at his house,

831
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: so like, what was the key too? And also Darcy

832
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: has been disrespected on so many continents. She has, and

833
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: if only she could settle into herself enough to go,

834
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: like meet a man at the grocery store, but no,

835
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: she keeps going on these weird international dating websites. Well,

836
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: she finally got Georgie. I think Georgie is the one.

837
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: I know you don't mean that, but it's very exciting

838
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: to hear someone to say it out loud. I know

839
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: no humans ever meant that, but yeah, I can't wait

840
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: to see what happens with her Georgie. I'm very excited

841
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: about it. I'll hit you with one more and then

842
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: we'll close this bad boy out. Here's my personal favorite

843
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: person in the history of ninety day fiance is Angela.

844
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: How are we feeling about Angela and her potential to

845
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: lead a cult? Angela absolutely colita cult. She's already leading

846
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,879
Speaker 1: a cult. She's got a hundred little black kids living

847
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: in her house. I don't know where they fucking came from,

848
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 1: but she has a lot of black children. She's got Michael.

849
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: Michael's submissive to her fault. I think those black kids,

850
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: I can't figure out if they're skyless kids or you know.

851
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: One of her other daughters is in jail for murder

852
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: and so and so maybe they belonged to the the

853
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: Murderer daughter, but TLC does no background checks and they

854
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: get the crem Dela creme of these insane people. They

855
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: truly just ask would you like to be on the show?

856
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: Person on the street, and then they give them six

857
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: years to figure it out. It's amazing. It's truly the

858
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 1: best show. And Nicole, this was such a fun time.
