WEBVTT - Ep. 25 — That time someone named a law after Tiffany 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.079 All right, guys, welcome back to another week of brown ambition. 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:26.000 Yes, happy Valentine's Day. Well it just passed, but still 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:27.080 just sharing the love. 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.520 It's so nice that it came on a three day weekend. 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.159 I know it did, right, I mean no, it's really 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.840 like a four day because people had Friday, Like kids 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:40.400 had Friday and Monday for what I think somebody's birthday. 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.080 I don't know, Like a Supergirl had Friday off and 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:44.000 she had Monday off. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:48.080 So interesting, well, growing ups only had three days off. 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.200 It was so freaking cold. What is happening? 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.600 I know, honestly, Like they said it was the coldest 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.600 I think last night they said it was the coldest 0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.480 it had been in twenty years in New York. I'm like, oh, 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:00.000 that's cute. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.360 Really it was like negative a million degrees is how 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.120 it felt. I'm telling you. We walked down the street 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.120 just to like get our morning coffee, and I was like, 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.000 I was I've never I threw like a five year 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.880 olds temper tantrum. I was kicking. I was like, get 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.120 me back home. I'm never doing this again. Why did 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.039 you bring me out here? Oh? Lord, have mercy. You 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.240 were talking about your V Day and like, yeah, you 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:24.720 guys had a good V Day. I had a good 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.120 But what do you feel about people who hate on 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.000 V Day? I don't. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.080 I just don't get it. I'm like, it just seems 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:34.440 that it doesn't matter what you think about whether or 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.360 not somebody should enjoy that holiday. I mean, I get 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.760 that it's been highly commercialized. Obviously, it's just it's a 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.560 quote unquote made up holiday. And then I, yes, I 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.760 do believe that you should show love three hundred and 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.600 sixty five days a year, but it's to me, it's 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.600 just like with everything else, if someone decides that they 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.640 want to enjoy Valentine's Day. I never was a big 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.520 Valentine's Day person, but if I'm with someone who, you know, 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.120 likes to do stuff for Valentine's Day, I'm open to that. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.360 I just I never understood why people care so much 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.520 how people celebrate their holidays, as long as they're not 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.560 like sacrificing puppies, Like why do you care? You know? 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.440 I think it's just I feel even though I've been 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.280 with someone like even for me going into Rite Aid 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.600 or Dwayne Reid and seeing just like the Valentine's Day explosion, 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.960 Like even I cringe because it's crazy. But I think 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.040 it's I'm not down for, Like I don't ever, I'm 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.240 not down for the box of heart shaped chocolates and 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.840 the giant teddy bear. Like what is an adult woman 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.480 going to do with like a thirty five pound teddy bear? 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.840 I saw someone. I saw a man purchase this and 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.400 ride a the other day and they literally had to 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.480 put it inside two trash bags. Is how big it was. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.079 It's just where's she going to put that? Apartments are small? 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:45.880 Is it gonna sit on the couch? 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.600 Teddy Bears pag right now because you're taking just as 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.160 much space as a roommate, Like, no, you're right though. 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.040 Those things are kind of ridiculous, And I feel like 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.119 I did see one woman which I thought was hilarious. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.080 She must have gotten one of those teddy Bears. She 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.240 gutted it so she cut out the bag, we got 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.000 all the stuff, and then she put it on and 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.520 totally sat on the couch and scared her boyfriend, which 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:05.320 I thought. 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.799 Was wait, wait she put it on like she put 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:08.720 herself inside of it. 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.440 Yeah, she took she cut the back of the teddy 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.120 Bear like a slit, pulled out the stuff in well 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.639 enough of it anyway, so she could fit in and 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.880 put it on and like sat like sat on the 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.440 couch and sat inside of it and proceeded to scare 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.520 the living daylights out of anybody who walked by it. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.320 I will go really far to scare someone. It was 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.280 like something I would do. I will sit. When I 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.080 was in college, I used to crawl. You know when 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.160 you in college, we had bed risers, like the little 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.520 things you put your bed on so you can put 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.839 stuff underneath. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, So it was really 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.080 easy to slip under her bed and I would wait, 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.320 like one day, I waited two hours for my roommate 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.880 to come home just so I could snatch he rank. 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.040 Or I would hide in the shower and wait, I 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:48.520 will wait. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:50.800 I love it. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:52.160 Oh I love scaring people. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:53.880 Yeah that was hilarious. I was like, that's to me, 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.400 that's the only thing I could see one of those 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.240 bare things being of use for, like to just gut 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.240 it where it scared people and then be like, Okay, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:00.680 I'm good. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.640 It's like I spend fifty five dollars on that. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.920 It does seem so ridiculous, But yeah, I mean, like 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:08.120 I said, I had a good V Day. We didn't 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.520 do anything like over the top. We went to a 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.120 combo show, which was a lot of fun, and we 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.840 just like, I made dinner, but I always make dinner, 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.719 so that wasn't like huge. But I was just like 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.320 I tried a new recipe, which I personally guess this 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.400 ever happened to you that you tried a recipe and 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.040 you thought, great, this is disgusting and they've liked it. 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.320 No, the officsite usually happens. I'm like, Yo, this is 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.200 the bomb, and he's like. 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.640 No. I was so nervous. So Supermom came over. So 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:42.480 Supermom So Superman has a daughter, Supergirl, and she's got 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.200 a mom who's awesome Supermom. So she came over earlier, 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.520 like she came over to pick up Supergirl, but Supergirl 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.560 and Superman they were not home, so she and I 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.080 were just chatting and like, so I'm always cooking, so 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:54.880 she came over and she's a really good cook too, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.440 So it was like, taste this, Supermom, what do you think. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.560 She's like, it's not bad, Tiffany, I think it just 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.200 needs to like settle in the pot. I was like, oh, 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.000 that's the way of saying it's disgusting, but you're trying 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:04.920 to be nice. 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.640 Not necessarily but possibly I know. 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.320 And then like, I was so nervous because Superman is 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.119 not one of those guys who says, baby, it tastes 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:14.719 good when it doesn't, you know, some guys do that, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.599 like it's really good. No, he's one of those, Yeah, 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.159 this is not good. But I gave it to him 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.000 and he was like, this is so good. I was like, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.440 you don't. You don't have to be nice. He's like, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.640 you know, I'm not nice about food. This is really good. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.719 And I went and tasted it like maybe maybe it 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.760 did settle. No, it did not. I don't know what 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.960 he was eating, but he liked it so good. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:35.599 Now he can eat the whole thing exactly. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.680 I was like, oh, good, because I don't think that. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:42.400 I realized that all my significant other, all he wanted 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.560 in the world was like a croissant, or a sausage, 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.279 egg and cheese on a roll, or like peanut butter 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.240 and jelly. The day that I realized that was like 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.159 an awakening for me. I'm sitting here trying to do 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.560 like you do this like fancy stew and make the 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.520 pot roast and like stuff. I not that I cook 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.479 that often or like all the time, but when I do, 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.160 I'm like, oh, I'm really going to impress him with this, 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.880 Like all the man wants is a grill cheese. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.920 Isn't that so crazy when you think about it. I mean, 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.560 like i'd say Superman has varied tastes, like I if 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.480 I tried something a little fancier, He's open to it. 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.400 Like even Supergirl. I'm always surprised at what she's willing 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.760 to eat. I'm like, you really eat quenoa because we've 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.040 like eliminated like all the white rice from our diet, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.039 so we use brown rice, which I'm not a super 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.640 fan of, but last time I made it was actually 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.440 pretty good. We use brown rice and quenoa. You know, 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.000 we don't when I first came. They ate a lot 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.160 of red meat. We don't anymore. They ate a lot 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.720 of pork, We don't anymore. Like I totally have transformed 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.320 our diet to be healthier, and they've been, you know, 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.520 if they've been Trooper. So that's one of the reasons 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.440 why I try so hard for things to taste good, 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.400 because I've you know, I've taken out kind of like 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.120 all the inherently like inherently bad for you, I guess foods, 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.200 and like switched it with things that are better for 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.480 you and but don't necessarily taste better. So I've been 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:57.880 really working hard to make it taste better. 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.839 And so you took the leadership on that, right. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.160 Yeah, I did, because I was like, I don't. 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.840 Feel like all that pressure to control what the household eats. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:07.760 I feel like I'm falling into that, and it just 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.080 bothers me a little bit. I'm gonna be honest, really, 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.200 if I don't cook the healthy food, oh yeah, other 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.640 things will get eaten that are not healthy. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:14.920 Chicken. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.640 Yeah, no, for sure, you know what I mean. And 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.240 it bothers me. I'm like, why can't but there's ingredients 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.240 you can just make a salad. He's like, I don't know. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.240 I don't see them altogether in front of me. That 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.040 sounds like a lot of work the houses down the street, 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:26.880 you know, Oh. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.920 My god, Like honestly, one of his regular one of 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.600 Superman's regular meals was turkey RONI don't ask me what. 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.080 That was, but wait, was that like tuna noodle? Like 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.520 the tuna ronny, like the yeah in. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.880 The box or like yeah but it was a whole 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.160 moshposh of like and I'm like sugar, sugar is an 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.920 ingredient and in spaghetti sauce, I don't even. It was 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.960 just a lot going on. And now, really what the 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.960 reason why I took over is because I had gained 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.720 like ten pounds the first six months, and I said, yeah, 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.000 so no, I can't live like this. Something something is 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.800 happening because he Superman is naturally slam And I was 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.600 just like, okay, Tiffany, you have to take control. The 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.920 only part I don't mind the cooking. Actually enjoy cooking 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.280 because it's actually very therapeutic for me. What I do 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.680 not enjoy is food shopping. But I cannot send him 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.040 anymore because he comes back with like the same old 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.640 stuff that we can't. I can't make. Yeah, like I 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.280 love being home and wanting something like the other day 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.120 I was like, oh my god, I want ice cream. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.680 And if I send him food chopping, there would be 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.320 like four types of ice cream for me to choose 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.560 from an indulgent. But because I go food chopping now 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.520 there were not There wasn't And what I do had 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.760 is I had frozen banana. So I made my frozen 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.280 banana ice cream, which is just frozen banana, a little 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.840 bit of almond milk and whatever flavor you want, Like 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.800 you can use unsweetened coco powder, you can use raw. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.240 I use raw almond butter and unsweetened cocoa powder. And 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:50.600 it was so good. It tasted like chocolate peanut butter 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.800 ice cream. And I got my ice cream without actually 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.200 having ice cream. Now, like I said, and Superman went chopping, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.679 I would have been, you know, two elbows deep in 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.040 talany ice cream. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:06.320 Jam to lenty l, five bucks of pint and worth. 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.080 Every freaking handy. But I'm just good. 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.800 But yeah, I'm talking to me about ice creaming. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:11.920 Now. 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.679 I'm on the worst freaking diet right now. I mean 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.640 it's good, but it's so bad I can't There's literally 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.000 nothing I can eat except four vegetables and meat. Yeah. 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.440 It's it's called the Whole thirty Program. There's a book 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.760 about it. It's called It Starts with Food, and I've 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.839 been reading it. The whole philosophy is really just about 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.760 rethinking the way you eat food without getting too much 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.560 into it, and stripping down everything to the bear basics 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.160 and taking out anything, and I mean anything, with added sugar. 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.240 Do you know what sugar is in everything? 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.160 Everything, everything you want, everything. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.240 You thought was healthy, sugar is in it. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:42.119 Yeah. 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:43.760 And it's not just like you can't you can have 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.959 like things like fruit juice, which has sugar in it naturally, 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.400 but not added sugar. So it's all about the added sugar. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.560 And it's been really freaking difficult, especially living with someone who's, 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.880 as I speak, out there chowing down in a giant 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:59.559 cupcake because he's like, ah, this, I'm not here for this, 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.719 that's life. But it's only thirty days. I'm trying it out, 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.440 you know. I'm feeling a lot more energetic, but it's 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.480 the weekends like this where it's freaking cold out and 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.960 all I want it's just like a big hunk of 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.600 bread and some soup, and like this is the struggle 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.760 a glass of wine. I can't have wine? Like uh. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.400 And we went we visited his mom's and his mom 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.160 and dad today and his mom loves to cook, she 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.560 loves to feed you. And I was like, let me, 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.680 let me predict how many times I'm going to offend 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.160 your mother today because I can't eat this. I can't 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:32.600 eat that. I'm not doing this and not doing that, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.320 but you know what, like she was fine for me 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.080 being picky about the food. What really got her is 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.360 when she made us tea like fresh tea from lemon, 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.000 grass and mint, which was delicious on its own, and 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.000 I said, oh, no, no sugar. She lost her mind. 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.800 Really yes, she was like she was so much so 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.720 that she was on the phone with somebody she was like, 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.840 you'll never believe my son's woman because she calls me 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.000 her son's woman for some reason, uh did not want 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:57.800 sugar in her tea. I can't believe it. 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.120 Oh my gosh, oh my god. I love the First 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.600 of all, I'm not sure whether it's a giggle at 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.960 first the fact that you're her son's woman, or the 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:06.920 fact that the fact. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.280 That Spanish saying yeah, it's kind of like saying. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.600 No, no, believe me, no, I'm African. That is so typical, 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.360 like if even when you're just dating someone, they'll just 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.240 be like such and such as wife said. I mean 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.200 the wife could be a doctor, she could have healed cancer, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.520 and you will always be oh, such a such wife. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.400 So believe me. I understand that culture. But that's just 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.040 funny that that's the thing that that took her over 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:32.480 the edge the sugar. 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.160 In the tea. She was appalled. But I, in my 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.400 real life, even before this, I didn't take sugar in 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:42.000 my tea. I digress. Speaking of Red Lobster, can you 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:46.559 talk about we talk about the fact that since Beyonce's 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.680 single dropped, Red Lobster sales skyrocket at thirty three percent. 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.880 What thirty three percent? That is the power of Beyonce. Yeah, 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.679 be given her money, real money, No, for real. 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.199 I just that is just in fla. Like I always 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.760 said that, you know, when I was growing my brand 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.079 a budget, said that I would love influence over fame 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:07.439 that you know. I don't want to be someone who 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.320 can't walk down the street or anything like that. Not 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.920 that I'm anywhere near close to that that, but I've 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.880 much rather influenced. Like I'm like, hey, let's budget and 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.440 people do or let's save money and people do. So 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:24.320 that's just critical. Wow, that's awesome she has. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.040 That's the power of the bee. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.440 Yeah, that is wow. 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.680 I'm looking at some headlines I was saving over the week. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:30.560 Oh I saw this. 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.360 Cool. There's a new study out that shows that women, 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.240 when women are in company leadership positions, the companies have 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:39.439 stronger profits. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.040 Mmm, would you look at that? 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:42.920 This is the New York Times, so you know it's legit, 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.600 And I feel like we've talked about that before, how 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.720 important it is to have women into leadership roles. But 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:52.079 what's even more important When we talk about increasing diversity 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.680 in the workplace or having more women in leadership roles. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.760 People tend to roll their eyes. But it things like 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.800 this that show that there's a real monotary value and 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.600 it sucks that we have to, you know, get out 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.480 a calculator and prove it. But people need to see 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.680 like you're literally holding your company back if you're not 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:13.760 diversifying the top down. So I love studies like this. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.319 No, me too, because I just think that when you 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.880 when you start to it's like women line, women lie, 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.880 men line, numbers don't. And when you pull out numbers 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.719 like that, it's just what are you arguing against having 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.079 women like oh they're gonna have babies, Oh they're gonna leave, 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.600 Oh this are emotional, and yet the numbers are saying 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.320 that even if all of these things are true, it 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.400 still works in your benefit to have women in leadership positions. 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.120 It's all about balance. I don't know, I feel like, 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.400 and it's not like all women work the same exactly, 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.480 It's all going to be more balanced. We talked about 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.520 before how it's important not just to have women, but 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:56.280 like women from different backgrounds, ages, you know, some who 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.679 are mothers and juggling out, some who chose not to 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.199 have kids. Like. It's just the more different points of 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.080 view you can bring to the table, the better workplace 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.720 you're going to make for all of your employees. 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.040 So yeah, so yeah, I think that having women of 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.440 different backgrounds working in the same place is always a 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.640 good idea, just because when I used to teach, it 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.800 was just nice to be able to pull from a 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.680 pool of women with different experiences, do. 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.720 You know, speaking of women in leadership. So you know, 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:28.560 over the weekend, Supreme Court Justice Antoninscalia passed away. Yeah, 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.360 which is it's really sad. I mean, he would you know, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.360 he has his reputation, wasn't that great, especially if you 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.400 are a progressive liberal type of person who cares about 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.640 women's rights and gay marriage and just stuff like that. Yes, 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.200 so people were saying some really awful things about him 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.320 and his legacy, but you know, respect to the guy. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.520 But what everyone's talking about now of course is like, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.840 so Obama has less than a year in office, he 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:56.200 has every right constitutionally to appoint the next Supreme Court justice. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.360 And of course Republicans are like, no, like we should 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.120 wait until after the election. La. Yeah, but I saw 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.600 something really cool today that Loretta Loretta Lynch, who is 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.440 right now the US Attorney General, is like the most 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.760 likely candidate to replace Scalia, and that make her the 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.360 first African American woman to hold a Supreme Court seat. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:17.440 Wow. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.480 Which would be monumental. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.600 Which would be monumental. Yeah. I just don't understand, like 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.040 because I was watching on the news this morning when 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.240 the Republicans are kind of going in like he can, 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.840 he can appoint who he wants. We're not gonna let him. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.880 We're not going to approve them. And I'm just like, 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.680 are you just he's a president of the United States, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.400 whether you like it or not, like you know, they 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.000 don't like it, I know, you know, or just even 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.680 people saying like he how dare he want to a point, 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.520 you know, the next Supreme Court justice? I'm like, well, 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.400 I'm sorry, last time I checked, that's in his uh, 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.880 that's in his his Uh what does the thing called there? 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.720 Like I'm not gonna his job description, Like, I just it's. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.560 In the Constitution that all these politicians are. You know, 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.200 they come into the office saying how they all uphold 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:03.160 the Constitution, like but until it's not convenient for them. 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.520 It's just like there's so many parallels to the Bible 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.800 and how people treat that, you know what I mean. Yeah, 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.280 and it just text, It's just it bothers me. What's 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.400 really funny? What's hypocritical about this whole situation. There's been 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.120 these news reports now that have pointed back that back 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.920 in the eighties when Antonin Scalia was appointed at Supreme 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.560 Court justice by Reagan, it was right before election day, 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.160 like less than a month or less than two months 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.880 away from election day, so very convenient that when a 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.800 Republican president, yeah, in the in the seat, he's you 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.520 know totally fine. No one, not even Democrats, said anything 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.560 against that back in the eighties. But it's such a 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.760 different climate today, politicial, Yeah. 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.760 It is. And honestly, I try I try not to 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:43.800 just just because like preservation of peace of mind and spirit. Honestly, 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:48.600 I it's just so much ugliness out there that it's 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.520 it's very trying because like even like on Facebook, you 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.960 know some of the stuff that your friends post, like 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.480 not your friends, just saying in general that you know, 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.800 there's just so much going on with like death and killing, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.400 police brutality, and it's just so much that sometimes you 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.720 have to take a step back because it can be 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.159 it can be very heavy, and I understand these are 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.160 things that are actually happening. So I definitely don't turn 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:12.479 it off all the way because I have to know 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:16.400 what's happening. But at the same time, I'm conscious that 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.119 I have to be careful of how much exposure I 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.199 allowed on a daily basis, because it can be I 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:26.520 just don't understand how politicians deal with this ugliness day 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.360 in and day out, like and then sleep that night. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.000 Very interesting. It takes to such a high level of narcissism. 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.080 Yeah, I think so, because even with Obama. 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.199 You have to be really narcissistic to want it to 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.320 take up this mantle. Yeah, I would not. I would never. 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.600 I would make the worst politician. Oh my god, can 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:47.679 you just know? Too much fakery, too much nonsense, too 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:52.680 much bs, all these debates. But I do feel like it's, 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.640 like you said, it's really important just to keep paying 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.240 attention anyway, Just keep one ear open, just read one 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.560 thing a day to sort of stay abreast of what's happening. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.159 I hated what Glorious Steinem said the other day. She 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.960 got so much heat for this glorious Dynem feminist icon 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.119 comes out and says that, you know she I think 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.880 she was asked why young women are supporting Bernie Sanders 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.360 over Hillary Clinton, who would be the first female president, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.040 and her answer was something like, well, you know, young 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.160
