WEBVTT - Who Can Talk Black? | MiniPod 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.200 Native Lamb Pod is the production of iHeartRadio in partnership 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:04.720 with Reason Choice Media. 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:12.560 Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.920 Home, y'all to this week's mini pod. So we had 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.040 a great show on our main episode this week with 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.120 Cherylyn Eiffel, and it was so good that you guys 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:20.239 sent in all these questions and comments, we did not 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.360 get a chance to get to them. So Angela, Andrew 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.680 and myself were here to try to get to as 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:27.960 many as possible. But you know, sometimes you guys ask 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:29.800 these questions and you take us down a rabbit hole 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:31.800 because your questions are so great or your comments are 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.720 so insightful. So we're gonna try to get to as 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.680 many as possible. So let's not waste any more time. 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.280 Roll us a question, turn. 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:44.280 Up, Nick Peace, Native Land Family. Daniel Rant, just checking in. 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:48.520 Just wanted to say the last episode was super, super dope. 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:55.440 It spoke to everything that I'm on with intention, and 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.480 everything you spoke about in the episode spoke to me 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.000 as a new thing that I'm on. I wrote a 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.720 record called on Cold, and so everything you spoke about 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.720 to me was being on Cold. I would like to 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.440 know from each of you, what does on cold mean 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:14.240 to you? 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:15.000 Right? 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.720 And I think we will probably be aligned in our thoughts. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:25.039 I would think, but what does that mean? Angela, Tiffany, 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.000 Andrew like, what does on cold mean? 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:27.840 You? 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:32.000 Guys? I love this because Daniel is truly native Lampid fam. 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.880 Many of you all know that he wrote our intro music. Daniel, 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.119 It's always good to see you. He is definitely part 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:39.759 of the family because he was like, Hey, y'all, since 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.200 I'm co hosting the show today, what is on now? 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:46.800 I don't know if you're saying on cold or on 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:47.360 is on cold? 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.600 Like Cood on cold, So I don't know what that means. Well, 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.280 because you're not on COLDE got it? 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.320 Definitely not on Code? 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.160 Which show were we talking about? That was that? 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.840 I think because he talked about Landy it could have 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.640 been that that show when we talked about Landy was 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.880 the designer, the black designer who we had on talking 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.000 about where we spend our money. But all of our 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.320 shows are on Code. I'm adopting it. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.000 Because you know we about a cold. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.720 Life, we about that on Code. We say that means? 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.600 Does that mean that he might be saying what you 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.600 were saying? On the last show tip, which was, you know, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.400 there are certain things that should be for us, like 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.720 we should have our own cold. Like here's on code. 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.200 I got a perfect one, Andrew. You got to look 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.240 for this ready, y'all will know watch. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.160 Yes Egg precisely. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.560 You don't have to say, Andrew just on code. Yes. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.560 Yeahbody in the community might not be on code if 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:46.880 they're not in. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:52.200 The community figured out. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.400 Right, And if I say something to you, you don't 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.160 really know what I'm talking about. I'm kind of looking 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.960 at you. Signway, so I have another one. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:00.880 I have another one. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.120 Okay, give us another. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.400 One, Andrew. You have to look the problem. Part of 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.880 the issue is it is Andrew's writing a whole. I 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:07.560 don't know what you. 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.400 Doing, Andrew, what are you doing over there? 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:09.760 I was? 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:14.360 I was imitating uh, Angela during any normal recording. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.320 I know Angela, you do, y'all. Angela does the same thing. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:18.480 She always liked that. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:19.760 Look at my notes. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.040 I take you, okay, but you gotta get on cold. 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:23.520 You gotta get on cold. 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.919 I have to get on memory first, and then I'll 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.400 get on cold. Now here's my second encode moment. And 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.240 then you guys have to play your aids. I guess 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.160 that's what this is so sad for people who are 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.000 not watching it. I'll tell you what I'm doing afterwards. Okay, 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.400 so here's another one. Okay, see if you know what 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:45.040 I'm saying, obviously please Okay, So what I did was 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.960 a side I would like my lips pursed for those Well. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.600 The first thing she did was like they have a 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.760 certain type of head nod. But it wasn't a head 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.839 nod like Top of the morning to you. 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.640 It wasn't. It wasn't a yes, It was a yes, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.760 flick that thing up like you do like head. 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.720 Yeah. It's like, yes, that statement is true, but you 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:05.440 don't follow it. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.760 Oh you're talking back to the eyes. This is why 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.440 I back to the anyway, this is not going to 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.440 work for true. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.120 That That was my interpretation of it. 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.240 It was like, yeah, you're sticking your head like uh huh. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.040 We all know it's true, but you the last one 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:20.800 that should be calling it out because you don't do it, 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.640 you know, so like the person who's. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.480 But that was something we we went back to the 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:26.280 to the head. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.560 Not both of them. I think both of them are 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:34.600 on cold. You doing something else that's on cold. If 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.960 we were all together and any one of them got 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:38.920 up and started running. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:44.120 Oh yes, God started running. If we running, the table's falling. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.680 It's like, oh. 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.880 Yeah, said got up? 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:49.799 Yeah, I don't. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:50.640 Nobody get up? 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.440 Okay. I have a question for the viewers. What what 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.120 is on Cold to you guys? And it has to 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:00.560 be something that you can You can drop a video 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.040 if you want, or you can drop it in the comments, 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:03.440 because we've been saying that we were going to talk 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:08.680 about different phrases and dialects from different geographical regions. And 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.279 we have a wonderful book that we're going to use 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.200 to explore that. So stay tuned. That's going to be 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.520 on the minipop coming up. 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:14.840 What was his name? 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.000 And Jared Hill is Darren Hill? 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.520 This great book. It's on my coffee table. I love it, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.640 So we will that's a future historical. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.240 Historically black Dared Hill and Treville Anderson. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.039 I love it. But for so we're gonna that's a 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.760 future episode. For now. I'm curious what is on Code 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.840 to you guys? It can be a gesture, It could 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.920 be something we say, but something that you know, like, oh, okay, 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.040 we're on COLDE. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.000 Are we all together? Are we in unison? Are we 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.800 in alignment? Also, it's on code a geographical slang term, 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.320 because I really have not heard it before. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.680 I've never heard that phrase before in my life. We 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:55.480 might I think. 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.520 Daniel's something to the left. I think Daniel's in Boston. Daniel, 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.640 what is that me? And you said I wrote a song? 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:02.919 He was like, I know we're gonna be all on 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.560 the same page, and I'm like, I don't know what 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.200 page were on, but I'm happy to turn it there. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.120 I mean, I think part of being on code is 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:14.320 knowing what anything means. That can mean being on colde. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.040 Yeah, it's like you hip to it. 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.480 You know, you know what's up right right, what it is. 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.120 In the last episode when Trav was like go like 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.400 he just say go off Andrew, we said go off 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.560 Andrew or turn up Andrew. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.640 Those mean the same thing. Nick turns Andrew's literal volume 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.800 up on the microphone, and Tips response to that was like, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.560 I don't want everybody to know if it's called impact production. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.480 I definitely want Nick to know. And I feel like 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.440 Nick can have an honorary black code, a black card, 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.440 especially during Wednesdays. 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:48.080 Nick. 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.160 During Wednesday's Nick gets a black card, but I mean 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.520 in general, because we put a lot of stuff out there. 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.800 But the thing about it is, we're so dope. You know, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.480 we are a small percentage of the pocket reation. But 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.280 where we go, the whole world followed. 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:02.680 You know. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:04.279 We control the culture. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.520 We took things from Africa, curated them here, and they 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.560 made their way back to Africa with Black American spin 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.920 on it. So we really have We drive conversation, we 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.560 drive culture, and so I think there is some danger 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.680 to exposing that. But the thing is, we're a bottomless 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.960 bucket of culture and dopeness and especialists, you know, of 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.760 fashion and dance and you know the things that we 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.559 carry with us on the boat. 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.480 So I you're come and made me think about centers, 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:37.640 that image of them. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.920 There is that maybe the first and last time, but 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.320 it's okay, We're going to survive this. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:52.160 Moves dances we were never even taught. We were not 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.720 in our physical form, weren't taught. But the spirit of 0:07:55.760 --> 0:08:00.720 the ancestors being so powerful, the movements manifest them through 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.560 us in a different day time condition. That just shows 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.760 how connected we are as a people. But more over, 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:13.160 how what we do than influences how everybody else moves, Yeah, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:14.960 you know, that's a powerful scene. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:15.640 I loved it. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.560 The thing that I thought about, and I don't want 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.239 to bypass this tip because I think, in this moment 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.840 we're in, it is so important you reference. There's some 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.280 things that you're basically saying, I just want to keep 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:30.880 for us. And there is also since Andrew reference Sinners, 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.040 and we've talked about talked about slavery as recently as 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.080 our last episode, I think it is important for people 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.320 to understand, since history is now our responsibility to teach 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.040 white America, since they want to dismantle the Smithsonian, to 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.400 help them understand that some of what is on code 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.840 in our language are the things that preserved our lives, 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.319 the things that helped us find a pathway to freedom 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:57.000 during slavery. Songs and scriptures that were quoted we were 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:01.760 using to literally give us the navigatational tools to get 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:06.200 to freedom. And so there's something in you that's saying, hey, 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.640 you know, in an ancestral memory way in my DNA, 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.160 there's something here that I want to protect. And I 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.240 don't think that that's inherently wrong at all. I actually 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.800 think that that's very smart to protect some of those things. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.600 But also if there are well meaning allies and they 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.880 have proved themselves to be well meaning allies, there are 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.520 some things that they probably need to know so they 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.520 can help us. Because the things, Yeah, because we know 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.000 her math on math, there ain't enough of us. Coalition 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.120 requires we are going to have to build in some ways. 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.720 But I do hear you on some things should just 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.480 be protected for the culture. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.360 Yeah, so maybe this might be one of them. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:41.880 I had to text r J so I apologize for 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.080 the beings because she says this term. There was a 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:45.720 letter that came to the house that I was reading 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.959 and the girl was like you ate crumbs and left 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:49.599 no no you? 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.280 And I said, what did you eat in front of 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:54.760 these people? 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:54.880 What? 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:59.240 Like why would she write that? And it makes no sense? 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.040 And then I went in to like chastise the writers, 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.320 saying like we don't teach our kids. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.600 Any decorum anymore, like what's appropriate in a letter? 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.760 What isn't that? Jay was like, what are you talking about? 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.760 I was like this young you know, the dance guy. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.319 She's like, you ate and left no crumbs? Like that 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.120 doesn't make sense to me, and you know and whatever. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.360 And Jay's like, Andrew, it's a compliment. It's a saying 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:22.280 that young people have. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:23.360 Well. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.600 Also, I feel like that's such a disconnect from culture, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:27.280 you know. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.240 Like why you are in my life? 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.880 How are you so like because you are graduate, You're 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.360 in Florida around I. 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.760 Can be a graduate of any institution in Steel. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.760 You live with j though, Like I don't. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.920 She tells me all the time, why is it that 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.079 I never follow. 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.240 Old man inside of himself? 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:52.920 And I'm like, I think, like, I don't know your story, my. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.600 Dad, and see if he knows what it means. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.360 I've never heard that term before in my life. 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.160 I want to call I kind of want to call 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:00.680 a pop riety. See what he said. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.480 Let's get to the next of your question. Because we 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.000 do what we said, we wouldn't. 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.680 Do another view of question. 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.280 Yeah, how you doing a Native Lampard family. My name 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.920 is Jesse McCoy. I'm a clinical professor of law at 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.720 Duke University. But before that, I am a proud rattler 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.680 of Florida A and M where Andrew Gillen was my 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.760 SGA president. I have a question just about the pathway 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.560 to politics. We run into a lot of students who 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.160 either need to be involved in politics, or want to 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.679 be involved in politics, and I was just wondering if 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.600 there's an incubator of politicians or former politicians who can 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:51.800 advise those students about things like campaign finance and political strategy, 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.120 because I just have no idea how to even direct 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.840 them or where to direct them. Shout out to Angela, 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.920 rob and washing As you want see and then you 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.080 really did a great job representing for us Tiffany Cross 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.720 likewise on MSNBC, but even more so now on the show, 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.280 because I think you're the person that most relates to 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.679 how I feel in the current moment and wanting to 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:14.400 swing on people. 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:19.679 So Jesse, you ate and left no crumbs with that question? Uh, Andrew, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:22.559 I mean you know when he was asking, I was 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.600 immediately thinking, do you want to say? 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.400 Do you want to answer Andrew? 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:30.120 You? 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.280 I'm sorry, I thought you were okay, Andrew. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.120 Andrew did not eat and left all the crimes. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.000 All the crimes. So since he left the crumbs, let's 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.559 eat him up. Tip they gonna let him cook, We're 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:41.400 not gonna let him cook. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:42.920 Don't let them cook. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.280 So so there are a couple of things I wanted 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:51.000 to acknowledge on the actual subject of the question one. Andrew, 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.760 you are my forever SGA president too. Even though I 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.480 didn't go to FAM. When Andrew left FAM, he joined 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.760 people for the American Way, and I learned something called 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:05.080 the Young Elected Officials Network that not only pulled young 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.880 electeds together and gave them a home to strategize, to 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.240 think through how to become better leaders, but also really 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.720 developed an on ramp for them to run for higher office. Sadly, 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.679 one of the biggest failures of that program is Kirsten Cinema. 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:23.959 I digress that he's had many more successes. She also 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.679 did not eat and left all the crumbs tip. But 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.040 we also have the CBC Institute's boot Camp, and then 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.240 Collective Pack runs a program for folks who want to 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.679 run for office and who also want to run campaigns. 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.360 So I do want to just tout that there are 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.079 entities that are doing this work. We could always use more. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.760 Mississippi Black Leadership Institute NBLI is one that has pumped out. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:47.680 If you guys go through and look at the state 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.680 and local elected officials in Mississippi, there are a ton 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.200 of black folks and that was not by mistake. It 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.079 was with great intention. So Andrew I always want to 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:57.720 give you the opportunity to shout you out for the 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:58.120 work that. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.960 You've done while you and I'm going to talk about 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:04.160 the specific program that I founded at People for Underneath, 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.960 the Young Elected Officials Network that did this campaign training, 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.800 and I turned away to look on my other computer 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.240 to research whether or not it still exists, and twenty 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:17.560 years later, the Frontline Leaders Academy is still going strong. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.560 If y'all remember when we were with Jamal Bryant and 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.120 he said thank you for the letter of recommendation from. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.320 My wife Carrie. 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.280 Carrie went through this program, the Frontline Leaders Academy, and 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.080 at the end of it was the person chosen as 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.840 the most likely to be the candidate running for office. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.360 She adn't run yet, so I'm gonna have to remind 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.880 her when I see her in Atlanta this weekend when we're. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.120 Up there y'all, that she was a part of this program. 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.560 But it's an excellent program that trains young people and 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:54.120 all people interested in run for office or being part 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.440 of a campaign apparatus. What it means to be a candidate, 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:01.560 campaign manager, finance director, field organizer, communications sists the core 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.240 competencies of what are required and it is of course 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.080 housed that people for the American Way Foundation based in 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.680 d C. And then sorry, update on the message I 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.880 just said, I told you she said the quote was 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.240 you ate, and I then later told you it was 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.040 you ate and left no crumbs. So what I was 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.640 responding to initially was you. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.640 Ate and no context. I had no clue what the meant. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:32.080 And you probably loses black cart. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.600 I lose a black cart, but I ain't gonna win 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.280 no cards for what's in the in the in the 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:39.800 social media. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.360 At you got your black cart, but you losing your 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.240 own cold card. We got one last question that we 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:46.800 have time for, and I want to try to get 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.080 it in. So let's hear from this viewer. 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:48.880 What's up. 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:53.640 This is Craig again and coming out of Brooklyn, just 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.400 sitting on my stoop enjoying these last days of summer. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.520 I'm just thinking about all the things that are happening 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:07.160 all around the country, especially in DC, where you know, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.200 folks can't sit out on any stoopid like I'm doing 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:10.120 right now, just. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:13.640 Enjoying life. 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:19.560 In a moment. And I just want to say, this 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.800 is just a reminder to find those small moments that 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.680 bring you joy because things are pretty chaotic right now, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:32.040 and I'm just hoping everybody is taking the time to 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:32.760 find joy. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.880 Love you guys, hopeball as well. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:37.640 This is Craig Peace. 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.240 It's just the guy who, after he asked this question, 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.480 y'all would like he find him a lot of dates 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.320 from that first Rag was like, I'm coming. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.000 Back and I'm just gonna sit back on the stop 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:52.880 he ate he. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.320 Ate And he left no crumbs. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.640 He was I couldn't even see him today. He had 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.200 a holy spotlight on him. Today. 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.120 We're gonna have him turn around the next time and 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:01.720 then make the. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.440 I do appreciate the messages find those moments of joy. 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.800 So if you guys, do you have any closing thoughts 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.000 on what you're doing to find those moments of joy? 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.479 You know, I was when we were on last week. 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.320 I mentioned that I had a friend who like tragically 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:26.360 passed in a car accident, and I think there are 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:30.960 these moments where you realize how fleeting life is. You know, 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.880 there are other moments where my mom, as she goes 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:39.679 through chemo, she is constantly assessing like the fullness of 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:44.639 her life and whether it is indeed complete. Uh, And 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.679 you kind of contrast that with people who probably are 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:53.199 not expecting to go. And so the reminder is no 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.680 matter where you find yourself, even if you do think 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:57.840 you have tomorrow, especially you know, where as we're like 0:17:57.960 --> 0:17:59.800 younger and your age, you get older, you think you're 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.000 in you think your parents are invincible, at least some 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.199 of us may. But I just I think that the 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.919 constant reminder is like we can choose joy in the 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.200 midst of everything that's going on. We can find those 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.520 pockets and hopefully lean into them. And that is the 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.880 greatest lesson I've learned from watching my mom and even 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.000 from losing Teddy last week. So that's what I would say. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.080 I love that, Andrew, do you have I would say 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.960 I'm probably increasing in my comfort, probably to a level 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.400 of discomfort for those around me and all the things 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.399 I don't know and I don't care that I don't know. 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.600 You know how sometimes you're like you're not hip to 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.160 something like we have just had with. 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.000 I was gonna say, this is just shade me and Angela. 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:42.240 That's not joy. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.159 It is joy. It is joy. It's joy in the 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.439 sense that I don't and you don't know a thing 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:51.240 and you don't care anymore like a lot of dance 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.119 at the at the at the at the thing, you know, 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:55.960 the who was who? 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.560 What's the name of the organization?

That was fine? 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:23.159
