It's nice to see you 88 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: as well. You guys had a very nice introduction into 89 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: the conversations. I didn't want to interrupt, but um, it was. 90 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: It was actually interesting to hear you guys say what 91 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: you were saying, because the other day it was actually 92 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: the car of my dad and I've been telling him 93 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: for a while that I just wanted to take a 94 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: drive with him and listen to some of the music 95 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: that I like and just show it to him and 96 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: like see what he thought. And when we were in 97 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: the car, I showed him like some of the newer 98 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: rappers that are out right now, and you know, like 99 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: we were joking around. He was pretending like he liked 100 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: it for a little bit, but then hegan again told 101 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: me he was kind of like young people kind of 102 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: operate on a different frequency, I guess, and it's like 103 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: not that it's a bad frequency, but it's so much 104 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: faster than what he's used to. Now he's just more 105 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: on a slow taste of journey as he gets older, 106 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: so we like smoother music. But when he was younger, 107 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: he tells me, it was kind of that same high 108 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: frequency stuff we like. Now we like to jump around, 109 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: we like to move so much, and you know, it's interesting, 110 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of like every generation is like that. It's 111 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: like every older generation has always hated on the moon, 112 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: like but he told me, it's like less of a hate. 113 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: He feels like it maybe more of a just misunderstanding. 114 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: It's like a frequent back to the frequency kind of 115 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: um analogy. It's almost like it's too loud for them. 116 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: It's just like, why did you just be quieter? Like 117 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: how I am right now? More there? And I think 118 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: that was that was very telling to me, because again, 119 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: I feel like it's easy to get into, Oh my 120 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: parents don't understand me, or this is you know, like 121 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: they're hating on me. This is just the life I 122 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: like to live. But it's just like they did. They 123 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: were saying that same argument a bunch of years ago. 124 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: And this the other day, me and my mom were 125 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: talking about something that I wanted to wear and she 126 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: kind of had a problem with which she was just like, 127 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, I've been through the same argument a million 128 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: times my mother, And I was like, well, if you've 129 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: been through it, why can't I do it? This? This 130 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: is that. But it's just like it's just it's like 131 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: a slower frequency. I guess what did she say when 132 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: you asked that? I'm so is I'm like, so, what 133 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: was the answer?

And I posted about this a 163 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: while back, just about what makes young people feel safe. 164 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: M and Lana had a discussion in class about it, 165 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: and so you know, I really would like her to 166 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: chime in about that in particular, because I think really 167 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: the conversation with young people has to start with safety. 168 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: How do they feel safe enough to be in conversation 169 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: and relationship with us, not just as parents, but just 170 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: as elders in the community. Period. Oh yes, please, please 171 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: and thank you. So I have this class freshman seminar 172 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: and basically, when I go to senior year, I'm gonna 173 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: have to write a very long paper called a senior 174 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: accent you guys want to know about it, um, to graduate. 175 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: But this class freshman seminar is to prepare me for that. 176 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: So they have plant little seeds of writing and finding 177 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: arguments for specific comps and pacific topics to help you 178 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: with later on when you have to do that big assignment, 179 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: to just kind of seed it into your brain a 180 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: little bit. Um. So we were arguing about whether when 181 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: I argue, we're debating about whether kids getting out of 182 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: school later would be safer for them. Um. On the 183 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: way home, and it kind of despiral this tangent about 184 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: feeling safely in Philadelphia in general, which the black kids 185 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: in my class kind of overtook, which uh, just a 186 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: little side you know about that. Um. I go to CAPPA, 187 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: which is Creative Performing Arts high school in Philadelphia, and 188 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: there are a lot of receptions about the diversity at 189 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: that school, but I would say it's very predominantly black, 190 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: So there is not a single classroom without at least 191 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: at least ten black students. As it's a very black UM, 192 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: but a lot of people don't know that. But Kappa 193 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: is very black. And we just kind of got into 194 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: this large conversation about how it feels to be safe 195 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: in UM Philadelphia or not safe more or so, and 196 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: it was kind of going back and forth because, uh, 197 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: there are a lot of black women in my class, 198 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: and I consider myself particularly very educated on racial issues, 199 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of also black men in my class, 200 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: and the topic of intersectionality was not being really focused 201 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: on when we were having this discussion. And there was 202 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: a very big thing where this girl was talking about 203 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: how she felt unsafe UM due to being kind of 204 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: cat called, and you know, once she takes the bus, 205 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: in the train, in the subway. And then there's this 206 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: one kid in my class who's a black male. He goes, well, 207 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: black men get murdered every day, and the statistics show 208 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: that there's been more violence towards the black men since 209 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: the beginning of time, and that really set me off, 210 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: Like First of all, what statistics? What statistics? Second of all, 211 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: it just I just think, like like debate rule one 212 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: oh one, or even like respectable rule one oh one, 213 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: when someone who's marginalized or especially more oppressed than you 214 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: was talking about something they're going through, if you'll start 215 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: your sentence with but and then something else, it's very 216 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: big red flag and it's very ignorant, and it's like 217 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: a kind of ding ding ding, you're uneducated, like light 218 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: in my head. And I also they'll feel like when 219 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: black people are talking about our experiences, I don't think 220 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: it's right to rob them of that black you're wrong 221 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: or this year that. But I do think it's we 222 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: should take the time to educate them because again, I 223 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: feel like sometimes we can't always articulate how we're feeling 224 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: in a way that makes sense. So again, when I 225 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: was in that class and a lot of my classmates 226 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: are talking about their experience and we have an opportunity 227 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: to educate a lot of the white kids in the room, 228 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: there was some language that I felt it was not 229 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: being articulated correctly, and I didn't want to misinform the 230 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: classroom in such a poor in moment, so I took 231 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: it upon myself and I joined the conversation late, but 232 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: I took it upon myself to try and get those 233 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: thoughts out in a way that made sense for someone 234 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: who doesn't have the black experience. Um, but that was 235 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: what I went through the other day that my mom 236 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: was talking about. And I feel like being safe in 237 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and being and safe as a minor is very 238 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: much in her miss type of situation. I really feel like, 239 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, we have so much stuff about what you 240 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: can do to be safe, what you can do, But 241 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: even then, you could do all of these things. You 242 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: could stay in the house your entire life, you could 243 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: still be a victim of attack. I mean, Brianna Taylor 244 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: was in her own home. She was at her own home. 245 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: She she just still died from violence. It's like, what 246 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: is it that you can do? And I don't mean 247 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: that as the depressing thing, but even I said this 248 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: at the beginning of my rent in the classroom, I 249 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: was like, all of the black people that are here 250 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: and are alive in America today are all here by chance. 251 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: You could have been the most well behaved slave in 252 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: the world, but an overseerer in a bad mood could 253 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: have ended your entire bloodline just because they wanted to 254 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: because they were having a bad day. So my point 255 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: is that we can do all of these things to 256 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: try and assimilate, try to be safe, or we can 257 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: dress a certain way. We cannot take public transportation, we 258 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: could avoid bad streets, we could do this, we could 259 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: do that. And even then, being black in America and 260 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: being black in Philadelphia, being black in the city, it's 261 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: still it doesn't guarantee you safety. Mm hm. What was 262 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: the response? What? What did everybody say? Want you well again? Uh? Um. 263 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: It's the very early in freshman year, so it kind 264 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: of was like a silence in the classroom for a while. 265 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure. And um, my teacher Mr. Rosher, he's a 266 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: white man and not only does he teach freshman seminar, 267 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: but he also teaches African American studies at Kappa, and 268 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: he does seem to be very self aware about the 269 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: fact that that's slightly weird. Um. But he did tell 270 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: me that he appreciated that I brought up the intersect 271 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: reality in this topic because it hadn't really been addressed, 272 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: and he liked the way that I worded it. But 273 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: it did kind of leave a silence over the room. 274 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: I think it also took was a lot to take in. Again, 275 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: but that was the kind of the response to the room. 276 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: I didn't get any uh, bad responses. Even the black 277 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: boy that had made the comment about will black men 278 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: get killed every day? He was very silent and just 279 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: like taking in the information that I said, he didn't 280 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: have an attitude or make a face, because again, I 281 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: was trying to educate the classroom. I wasn't trying to 282 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: be rude or anything. Again, ignorance in the black community 283 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: about black issues is still very prevalent. Like you'd be 284 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: surprised about how many people don't know about their own 285 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: culture and know about the real reason these things are 286 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: the way that they are, the reason why we live 287 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: in the hood and they live in the suburbs, the 288 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: reason that this is this, this is that. And that's 289 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: again why I felt like I needed to articulate some 290 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: of the things that weren't you know, because not all 291 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: of us have access to the information as to why 292 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: those things are the way that they are. A lot 293 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: of us, yeah, are young people are really thinking in 294 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: broad strokes broader than ever before. If you ask me, 295 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: and I say that because I think are well mouse 296 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: and my generation was probably think about it this way, 297 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: just going back a couple of generations. My grandmother was 298 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: born in nineteen seventeen. So the odds of walking down 299 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: the road and seeing somebody humes high you feel me. 300 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: The odds of your father leaving, I mean, we still 301 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: have these things. So that's the crazy part, um leaving 302 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: and not ever coming back because he's been captured and 303 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, mutilated is a real, very very real thing. Um, 304 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: she was around before they were really couldn't vote, right, 305 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: cars were kind of they were new or I didn't 306 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: have one of those that clearly then they have one 307 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: of those. My my great grandparents were share croppers, so yeah, um, 308 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: and just to say that my great grandparents were shared croppers. 309 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: All right, so we're talking about my mother. You know, 310 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: my mother's whatty seven, I believe, Um, and she couldn't 311 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: sit on the front of the bus. Um. Then we 312 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: have this generation, our generation, your parents on Lana, and 313 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: we were pretty much able to do everything that we 314 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: wanted to do, you know, if we wanted to go 315 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: to college, if we wanted to wear pants, because in 316 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: the seventies, you know, we've got this natural hair and 317 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: these vibes, and you know, everybody is standing up and 318 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: discovering their blackness. And then you've got us, and now 319 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: we've got you and you you all are more free 320 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: than anything that I've ever seen. I think that there 321 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: may be a slight sense of jealousy, you know that's 322 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: been in there because you you all not all you're 323 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: able to own your sexuality. I admit to that. Yeah, 324 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: you're able to start a business at a at a 325 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: young age and be profitable from it. You're you're able 326 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: to literally do anything. Your outlook is so far we 327 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: haven't even seen you know how far you walk and 328 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: go and how quickly you can do it. We have 329 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: this mentality that you have to learn from the ground up. 330 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: You have to and and these things are still good. 331 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: I think it's still solid to learn something from the 332 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: ground up. But you all, I don't know if it's 333 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: if it's osmosis, like what's going on. But then side, 334 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: don't don't forget about the flip side Jill though, tell 335 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: me tell me. I let Lana tell because as you 336 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: were talking, I was just but we didn't have like 337 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: shooting drills, we had fire drills. We didn't have shooting drills. 338 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: That wasn't a thing. School shootings wasn't a popular thing 339 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: that happened multiple times to where you were like de escalate, 340 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: like and even the thing with what's going on with 341 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: police and and black Post seems like more than ever 342 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: because we didn't have the visuals, we didn't have video 343 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: like we have today. And so I'm curious, I'm gonna 344 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: let talk like in terms of life, what are the challenges? Like, 345 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: so we from our advantage point, we can see the 346 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: advantages that you have. But like if you had an 347 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: opportunity to speak out, because like at this point, there's 348 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: hell adults listening to this, so like if they needed 349 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: you wanted them to know some of like particular challenges 350 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: that they should be keyed into, and not to make 351 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: you speak for all young people, speak for yourself, specifically yourself. 352 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: I think one of the big things is just like, um, 353 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: I think this generation the internet has really been a 354 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: huge part of making everything kind of more. I just 355 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: think like seeing what people are going through. I think 356 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: first the internet was you saw the struggle and then 357 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: finding literally watching the progression of people learning to deal 358 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: with their struggle and being like I relate to that too. 359 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: I think that's the reason why so many people have 360 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: learned to be more open, because there's people whose entire 361 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: lives and the entire journeys are documented. Like there are 362 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: people that I followed on TikTok that discovered that they 363 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: were trans and I followed their journey before they even 364 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: knew that. So it's like you watch the progression of 365 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: people's journeys in their lives, and then there's other viewers 366 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: that are like, I relate to that, people's mental health issues. 367 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: This is that. I feel like that's how it's become 368 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: more normalized in our society, because you are able to 369 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: look into somebody else's eyes, into somebody else's life, and 370 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: you can say I can relate to that, And I 371 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: feel like before that, it's so easy for people to 372 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: feel isolated in their environments. I feel like now it's 373 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: more you see everybody like you and there and there, 374 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: and there are the downsides of that too. I feel like, again, 375 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: some people play to other people's emotions and try and 376 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: gain that relatability so they can try and force them 377 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: into a type of lifestyle. You know, there's this kind 378 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: of this uh, this joke on the internet, this thing 379 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 1: called the manner sphere or whatever. I don't know if 380 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: you guys have ever heard of it. It's like those, yeah, 381 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: those little motivational videos for men that start by applying 382 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: to their insecurities and then they start saying this is 383 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: how you fix it, and instead of actually being productive, 384 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: it's just misogynistic viewpoints are telling them you can get 385 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: women by being very disrespectful to women, and this is 386 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: how you make money. This is how you like. And 387 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: there's even stuff like that exists like that for women 388 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: as well, like where they try and apply to women's 389 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 1: insecurities and then they tell them, well, this is how 390 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: you get skinny, this is how you do this, this 391 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: is how you do that. Instead of those productive things 392 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: that have existed to help people with their journeys, there 393 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: are also things that exist that too, are just there 394 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: to help benefit someone in specifics, not the viewers, not 395 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: their supporters. It's just there to basically take advantage. So 396 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: I think those are one things you have to look 397 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: out for on the internet is who is a productive 398 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: influence to follow on who's not. And that's actually something 399 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm learning about in Jim. They were trying to teach 400 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: us the difference between a life and fluencer and a 401 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: regular influencer. And it's like someone who flexes their lifestyle 402 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: onto you and makes themselves feel unachievable unless you follow 403 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: these inappropriate steps or these steps that aren't really going 404 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: to get you there, or a life influencer someone who 405 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: tells you your life can be better, but you can 406 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: make it good the way it is now, or these 407 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: are little things you can do for yourself, or you're 408 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: going through this. I'm going through this. This is how 409 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: we can be better. It's like I just feel like 410 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: or people that just healthily show you their lives that 411 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: just like you know, those people that vlog every day, 412 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: or those you know, motivational people on the internet, people 413 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: that just kind of give you a healthy insight into 414 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: their life and even if they don't show you everything. 415 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: Because I think the whole saying social media is fake, 416 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: da da da da da, I think social media being 417 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: fake can be a good thing sometimes. Like I feel like, 418 00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: if you're a family YouTuber or whatever, families have struggles, 419 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: But do you need to put that on your YouTube channel? No, 420 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: because some people might watch that to feel better about themselves. 421 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: Some people might watch it. Be like I didn't have 422 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: a good relationship with my family, but it's nice to 423 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: see these children grow and this family blossom together, even 424 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: if they might have issues off screen. I feel like 425 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: sometimes having a curated image like that is okay. And 426 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: I feel like people are so obsessed with authenticity it's 427 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: kind of a bad thing, like things like the shade rum, 428 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: stuff like that. We're we're constantly seeing these toxic couples 429 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: and these problematic this this is that I don't think 430 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: it's good for people, and I don't think it's good 431 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: this access people have to people's lives so much now 432 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: that they feel entitled to their lives and entitled to 433 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: opinions about these people that they don't even know. That's 434 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: why I feel like sometimes curation is good. Sometimes it's 435 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: better if you only see this person's picture when it's 436 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: a paparazzi photo of them leaving somewhere, not a paparazzi 437 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: photo of them being intimate with someone or something like that. 438 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: I just feel like this like access or like just 439 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: and straight up and tightened it. So maybe, and I 440 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: hate to cut you off, but maybe there's a thing 441 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: with us where we have to understand that the thing 442 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: that makes you all different is this is this experience 443 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: with social media and the internet, and that that experience 444 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: cannot be defined so rigidly as good or bad. That's 445 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, what I'm hearing from you is 446 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: that it's a layered, in complex experience that we need 447 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: to be aware of. That there is such a thing 448 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: as a life influencer as opposed to a regular influence. 449 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: I've never even heard that before me. That's the crazy part. 450 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: Y'all learn that in school and grown ups don't even 451 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: they don't know how to regulate their social media like that, right, 452 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: So how can they even begin to talk to you 453 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: about it when they don't even know that? That's my 454 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: mind was blown when you said that, Like and also 455 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: and also trying to audit myself mentally, like, yeah, which 456 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: which one? Are you right? Because clearly not everything is bad? 457 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: Right everything? You know? I think that the people in 458 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: my age bracket and above, you know, we're we're a 459 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: little bit in shock, overwhelmed. We're a little bit overwhelmed. 460 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: It's it's a lot both. Oh my god, Like the 461 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: internet came when we were in high school, friends, like 462 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: it happens, things started happening from there, it was like 463 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: the beeper the cell phone, and it was just like 464 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: and we still gotta keep up with y'all two and 465 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, it's like it's it's so stuff here. 466 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: I mean for staying in your lane. I mean, I'm 467 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: here for it, for being this, this adult, this the 468 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 1: adult that you are right now. I'm here for you 469 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: doing that. But I'm also here for you to to 470 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: expand your mind and be able to relate to the youth, because, 471 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, I believe the children are a future. They 472 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: are you know, So it's not it's not that deep. 473 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: You have to open up more real talk after the break, Lana, 474 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned sexuality. Um, we've like when I grew up, 475 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: I'll say that when I grew up that that homosexual 476 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: men were in an area of the city where I 477 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: grew up in Philly. They were in one area, and 478 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: if that's what you wanted to see or hang around, 479 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: or that's what you wanted to experience, then that's where 480 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: you went. Now people are finally able to be all 481 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: of themselves everywhere they go, and nobody has to live 482 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: in ase it anymore. Do you do you grasp how 483 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: what a what a gigantic, big deal that is. It's 484 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: so weird. It's so weird, and sometimes about it too. 485 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: I think about it two Sometimes I asked my mom, like, 486 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: you really didn't have like a phone with a screen 487 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: on it, Like how is it like now you just 488 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: used to Now you've got this tap smartphone. I'm like, 489 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: you know that, but you even have them buttons. I'm like, girl, 490 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: we had a rotary our generation keeping up all day. 491 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: She's so right. I didn't even think about it like that. 492 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: She's so right. Yeah, you get so used to it, 493 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: because it's like you get so accustomed to it and 494 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: so fast. I feel like, maybe just me, I feel 495 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: like it. You get so fastly. Like I was like, 496 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: there'll be four year olds that know how to work 497 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: the iPad. I remember the end of the day. Uh, 498 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: my little cousin was here, And it wasn't the other day. 499 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: It was a long time ago. He was about three 500 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: and he has YouTube up and he tells me he 501 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: wants to watch the Spider Man video and I'm thinking history, 502 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: let me look it up for him. He's like no, 503 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: he typed Spider Man into the YouTube bar and searches 504 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: it out. I'm like, yeah, let me know, I've seen 505 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: nine month olds been able to scroll through things and 506 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: find like the like the parents had a series of 507 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: films or movies or whatever in there in the little iPad, 508 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: and baby just just went and found what they wanted. 509 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: You can't even read, you can t spider Man into YouTube. 510 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: That's a lot of like I just wonder what I 511 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: can't wait see I'll become grown ups. I'm like, what 512 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: does that look like when knowledge starts from that point? 513 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: And also here's a question to Lena, what's the chill 514 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: looked like? Because I was thinking about that as you 515 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: was giving us your reenactment of what happened in class 516 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: that day and all of that knowledge and well readiness 517 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: that you have, I was like, what is the chill? 518 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: What is the like? Yeah, how how do you how 519 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: do you kind of manage yeah, knowing these things like 520 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: where where is the where is the kids? Like the 521 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: kid like lightness? Then we tackle that other question, Okay, 522 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: because because it's a it's a whole new world. Did 523 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: you hear what jail I asked you? Yeah? About like, um, 524 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: people having so many sexual identities. I feel like, uh, 525 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: and this is just might be one thing that I noticed, 526 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: But sometimes I feel like people make it seem like 527 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: it's a lot, a lot more overwhelming than it is. 528 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: For example, Uh, there's this thing on the internet called 529 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: neo pronouns. We're not on the internet, but some people 530 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: really it's just like where people's pronouns aren't she heard? 531 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: They they're like, uh something like some people like to 532 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: be called like different like objects as they're pronouns, And 533 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: I don't entirely understand it. But I've never met a 534 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: person that used that. But there's such this there's this 535 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: big discourse on the internet or whether this is something 536 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 1: people should do, or this is stupid, this is this 537 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: is a but still never even met anyone that uses 538 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: those pronouns. It's almost like people want it to be, oh, 539 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: you don't know what anybody is these days, but it's 540 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: like some of these people have never even met a 541 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 1: non binary person. You just want to be overwhelmed by 542 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: these things. You feel like it's all around you when 543 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: it really isn't. Again it there are so much more 544 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: openness in society today, but there are also some people 545 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: in this world that's still kind of live in a 546 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: bit of a pocket. And I feel like, as a society, 547 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: we need to stop pretending like it's it's like changing 548 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: our way of life. I guess I feel like we 549 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: should have never really assume what someone goes by. Again, 550 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, don't know I had short, 551 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: foresty hair, I would be miss gendered a lot, and 552 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: I was born a girl, So it's like, is that 553 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: right though? But when someone tells you don't assume people's gender, 554 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: you're automatically a king. Oh this changes my way of life. 555 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: I don't approve of this. I don't approve of that. 556 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: But I was born a girl and you miss gendered me. 557 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: So it's almost like, why don't we just use these 558 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: neutral words for people? Why is that so hard? Because 559 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: it could offend the same people. You say you're tired 560 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: of the girls with day weaves, and they this, and 561 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: they that I presented myself as naturally and you still 562 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: disrespected me. And I was and I'm not a part 563 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: of any community that you're so called don't approve of. 564 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: So I don't get it. You know what I'm trying 565 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: to say. You know, people try so hard to make 566 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: this is this is someone's one fault. This is changing 567 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: my lifestyle, when really your lifestyle just wasn't productive. It 568 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: just wasn't it never worked, It wasn't cool. It never worked, 569 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: and you know it never worked, and you know it 570 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: never worked. You know, it was never helping anybody. And 571 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: I like that. We live in the world that's open, 572 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: but I feel like it could be a lot more opener, 573 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: and I feel like it. I feel like people want 574 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: to be overwhelmed. Sometimes people want something to be mad at. 575 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: We need something to be mad as a society because 576 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: we need to direct our anger towards something that's not 577 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: the big issues. So we can swallow our pill and 578 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: we can you know, make it seem like everything's okay. 579 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, the reason everything sucks because the pink 580 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: sauce lady. That's why. Imn No, she might be bad, 581 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: but she didn't make all these things. Unfortunately, is not 582 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: the root of all of our issues. Fifteen. Okay, is 583 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,719 Speaker 1: this it's a fair question. Do you feel a need 584 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: or desire to be around us, you mean, like adults. Yeah, 585 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: let's just let's just say that that, Um, your mother's 586 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: friends are pretty much like her. You know, they're they're 587 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: interesting and knowledgeable. You know, they're they're cool in their 588 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: own way, you know, living life and learning as they 589 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: go like the like most people with good sense, I 590 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: think you know, you learn and you stumble and you 591 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: get back up and you're like, oh, you know what 592 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: I mean? Um, because you have so much um information. 593 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: You have this this I don't know if I could 594 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: call it clarity. You don't know if that's exactly what 595 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking for, but the insight to expand and grow 596 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: on a daily basis because you've got so many tools 597 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: to do it. Do you feel like you you still 598 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: enjoy us or or need us in any way other 599 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: than financially taking care of you? I asked, Actually, you 600 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, do you want me without my cash? App? Dude? 601 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you to speak as much as 602 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: you can for young people around your age, like do 603 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: y'all y'all f with us. I feel like some of 604 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: us are at a point where it's like it's been 605 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: a very big thing. It's like I won't respect my 606 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: elders and it's like respect back, and this is that. 607 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: I think that's a very progressive place to be in. 608 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: But I feel like we need family. I feel like 609 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: people that cut all ties they end up kind of 610 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: missing it. And I don't feel like I get disrespected 611 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: in my family, just like as an example, I know 612 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: there's some people that kind of move on that wavelength 613 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: um or even like if they have like political disagreements 614 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: with their family, they're just like, no, I'm done, And 615 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 1: I completely understand that. And to speak for my whole generation, 616 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: I just would have to address that fact of it, 617 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: because there are some people that genuinely do you know, 618 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: perceive their family members as like or even the older 619 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: people in their life is just kind of like, I 620 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: don't respect your opinion and you don't respect my opinion. 621 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: So that's kind of the end of our relationship. Besides 622 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, the cash app, like my mom said, but 623 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: I think there is like I feel like, as young 624 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: people again, we still kinna are a bit stuck in 625 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: our ways a bit about what's immature, Like oh, I 626 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: can't saying my mom's my best friend, but there are 627 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,439 Speaker 1: a lot of us that are just like I love 628 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: my mom is my best friend.

And I do like having friends that aren't 635 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: really as interested in these topics just because it kind 636 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: of helps take my mind off of it, because it's 637 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: a lot and you can kind of find the real 638 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: reason why this is that, and this is that, like 639 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: if you canna get caught up and all that stuff 640 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: sometimes just living your life. But it's easy to just 641 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: t have those people. You can just kind of turn 642 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: off that side of your brain. You can just kind 643 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: of enjoy that childlif perspective. But then it's nice to 644 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: have conversations like this with a bunch of educated, beautiful, 645 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: intelligent women, and it's like it feels like you're more 646 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: so heard and you can relate.

Mom. First of all, I 658 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: did watch Rolla. You put me onto Umbrella Academy. Is 659 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: She's three? So bad? No season three? So no season three? 660 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: But I mean one is two was good. They changed 661 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: stuff up and it's weird they switched it up. But 662 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, you put so. I'm glad you 663 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: brought up a show because my son and I got 664 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: a chance to watch You Fouria together. And I don't 665 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: know if you all watched You four. You have you 666 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: watched that at all? I know you watch its safe space. 667 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: It's a safe space. She can't do nothing. Let me 668 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: just well, first answer, did you watching Lana? I've seen 669 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: some of it. I it's the episodes are too long 670 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: for me to actually watch all of it. But I've 671 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: seen some of this. That's a thing like, Okay, I've 672 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,760 Speaker 1: noticed that your generation also wants things kind of quick. 673 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: You don't really want to long form any just pay storytelling. 674 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's really my thing. I don't 675 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: like all the moves into that I feel like it's 676 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:24,479 Speaker 1: kind of lazy. I don't know it's a controversial to say. 677 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: I feel like it's a little zy. It's just like 678 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: everybody is allowed to have an opinion. I will say 679 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: this to the listeners, Um, if you haven't watched Euphoria, 680 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: there's a real reason why they're winning all these awards. 681 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: And it's not just because Zendia is beautiful, Like she's 682 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: exceptionally talented, and so is that cast and the stories 683 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: that they're telling. When I watched it, I was like, Oh, 684 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: I don't really have to answer a lot of questions 685 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: because a lot of the answers are in euphoria. When 686 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: we're talking about accountability, when we're talking about sex, drugs, 687 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: when we're talking about sexuality, when we're talking when we're 688 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: talking about living, a lot of the experiences are in euphoria, recovery, uh, 689 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: the list relationship with parents, relationships. I'm not saying this 690 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: to be a hater, because again, I actually have what 691 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: I've seen in the second season. I actually really like 692 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: it's a lot more slow paced. I just don't don't like. 693 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like if you can't keep it 694 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: in one place and keep the audience's attention. I think 695 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: it's it might be overwhelming, and that's kind of how 696 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: it is for me. Don't like multiple storylines like that, 697 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 1: I do. I don't like multiple storylines and when it 698 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: waves together kind of that's where I kind of like 699 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: the end of the season, the first season a little bit, 700 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: but again, I'm not sure how all of it ends. 701 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: The first season is a little fast face for me, 702 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: but I like what I've seen. The second I might 703 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: go back and watch it, but I think that again, 704 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: not because again, I don't want to be like the 705 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: one person that doesn't like the show I do. What 706 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: do you think in terms of like media, like, I think, uh, 707 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 1: from a parental standpoint, it's always hard to kind of 708 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: I think lock into media or that that that expresses 709 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: or feels like it's speaking for young people. It feels 710 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: like as soon as we lock into something, y'all have 711 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,439 Speaker 1: moved on. Or we'll lock into something and we'll think, oh, 712 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: this is groundbreaking, and y'all are like, yeah, whatever, we 713 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: don't even talk like that. And I remember being a 714 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: young person and having that, you know, like our parents 715 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: thinking that hip hop was like the Rice Crispi's commercial 716 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: when snap Crackling pop was wrapping there like, yeah, that 717 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: I like that that that jingle is nice. If that 718 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: all the rap music sounded like that, I would love it. 719 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: And we were like, that's that's that's not how that sounds. So, 720 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, is there any like media that you really 721 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: think like, Okay, this is on the post of kind 722 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: of what young people are feeling and they're connecting with. 723 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: I would say, again, are There are a lot of 724 00:40:58,239 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: themes in You for You. I think a really really 725 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: good for parents to watch, even but I don't want 726 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: them to think that all of their children are living 727 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: that life. I feel like some parents might watch You 728 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: for You and come back thinking my child's a drug 729 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: addict or something like that, Like no, you used to 730 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: be careful, don't don't make the wrong assumptions. But just 731 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: like kind of just the life they're living in, kind 732 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: of the emotions they're feeling, is very beautifully portrayed in 733 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: that show, especially with Sindea, Like again, like she's very 734 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: talented to re iterate what's already been said. But again, 735 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: the show that I watched on Amazon Prime called We 736 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 1: Are Who We Are, It's really nice to me, Uh, 737 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: the emotion of the show, it's very it's not it's um, 738 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: it's not too explicit on the themes. It lets you 739 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: kind of think of it for yourself. But the way 740 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: the characters behave seems very normal to me, and um, 741 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,439 Speaker 1: their emotions just seemed very normal to me. And again 742 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of uh, it's less this. Yeah, I liked 743 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: the show. I liked the show. I thought it was 744 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: very interesting. You get very invested into it, and it's 745 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: much more slow pace, I would say, UM, and I 746 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: feel like if Euphoria is kind of too fast for you, 747 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: then maybe you might like that show. But they tackle 748 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: some different themes and they also tackle um something that 749 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: isn't really that prevalent in Euphoria, which is there's a 750 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 1: character with mental illness that's not like rus. It's more 751 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: so like Uh. I think he might struggle with UM. 752 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to make a guess, but it's different 753 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 1: than what she goes through, but it's behaviors and stuff. 754 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: It's the interesting watch, I would say, And now all 755 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 1: the episodes are I don't think they're having a season too. 756 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,280 Speaker 1: But it also deals with the black female main character 757 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: that trying to transition into a trans man, which is 758 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: kind of similar to some of the themes that are 759 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: in Euphoria, but with yeah, Yeah, I love a good 760 00:42:49,080 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: TV wreck. More conversation after the break, you were talking 761 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: about being in the car with your dad and you 762 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 1: wanted him listen to some of the music. I was 763 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: just curious what you were playing for your dad. Oh, 764 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: this is not music I particularly listen to. But my 765 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: dad's very interested in djaying and stuff, and I be 766 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,879 Speaker 1: trying to put him onto stuff that communicates my age 767 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: or listening to, or at least something that like, if 768 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: he put it on, they'd be like, WHOA, what do 769 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: you know about this? I put on some Destroy Lonely 770 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: for him. I put on some Yet I put on 771 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,839 Speaker 1: some Frank Ocean and that was about it. He knows 772 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: about Frank Ocean some other stuff. And speaking of Steve 773 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: Lacey again, I love Steve Lacey. He's so cool. Even 774 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 1: just a person is very cool. Um, So, Steve Lacey, 775 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,479 Speaker 1: if you're watching, you might not be, but I'm cool 776 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: with you. I'm messed with you. But I should have 777 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 1: played some Steve Lacey for dad, because he did have 778 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: that one song inside that I feel like people forgot 779 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: was him because they kind of just rose up this year. 780 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 1: But he's kind of impossible years years so that I 781 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: can front. I've been in his dams for a long time. 782 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: Like you going, young man. He was giving, he was 783 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: giving four Auntie vibes and listen, that's my point. That 784 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: was what I was trying to get, Atlina, because I 785 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: catch myself around um young people and I'm very much 786 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: an auntie. Like I'm not. I'm not like you know, 787 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,240 Speaker 1: your friend. I'm really like your auntie. You need some advice, honey, 788 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 1: you need you need um direction for something. I may 789 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: not know, but I might know somebody who knows somebody 790 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: and maybe they can help you get where you want 791 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,479 Speaker 1: to go. You know, I'm kind of the mentor kind 792 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: of auntie, you know, the celebration kind of auntie. You know, 793 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to be judgmental about things. I want 794 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: you to be joyful. You know. That's like I want 795 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: you to be joyful and everything that you do, and 796 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: if it doesn't suit you, I want you to stop 797 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 1: doing that. You know. That's kind of where I am. 798 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 1: And that's that's what I don't know, Like, I don't 799 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 1: know if that's annoying. Is that annoying? Like if it isn't. 800 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:10,800 Speaker 1: That's that entirely is why I feel like, again, kids 801 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: my age love their aunties. They need their aunties, even 802 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: if they won't all admit it. And again, those people 803 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: that are kind of done with dealing with the generational 804 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 1: traumas and stuff like that, and letting go of their 805 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: older relatives and stuff. It's a very small fraction of people. 806 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: Same thing with the very small fraction of people that 807 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: you encounter that really their identities are super confusing quote unquote. 808 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,400 Speaker 1: People tend to be like, oh, there's so many people 809 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: are the kids are leaving us. The kids don't care 810 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,280 Speaker 1: about this. They're ungrateful, dadda, they're confusing me. Now, Really 811 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: it's only a little bit of them. And the ones 812 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 1: that are getting completely cut off or not like y'all, 813 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 1: the ones that are getting completely cut off are the 814 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: ones that kind of deserve, you know, problem problematic and 815 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 1: then and and even then, you know, sometimes all it 816 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: says a little switch, behavid, Maybe you'll be back, Maybe 817 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: I'll be back. Maybe sometimes we got work to do. 818 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 1: A lot of times some of us don't know. It's 819 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: the ones that don't know and don't want to do nothing. 820 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 1: Back and again, I kind of have an air of 821 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: tolerance for ignorance a little bit, you know, I have. 822 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: I have a little bit of tolerance for that. I'll 823 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: attempt to educate it, not at all, let it sit. 824 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 1: But if I was having a problem with something, I'll 825 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 1: make it know, you know. And it doesn't necessarily mean 826 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 1: you have to cut ties. But it's just like something 827 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,439 Speaker 1: I have issue with something of issue. We could talk 828 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 1: about it or we could not talk. Can we circle 829 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 1: back to that question I asked you earlier about, you know, 830 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,919 Speaker 1: relaxing being a kid and how you how you tend 831 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 1: to do that being a child? I know kid is 832 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: not appropriate. I'm sorry, No, no, I actually don't have 833 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: a problem with that, actually, but I touched on it 834 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. But it's just like being around people 835 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: that don't really not don't care about these issues but 836 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: don't really know a whole bunch about it, and like 837 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: almost like prohibits me from me even talking about it 838 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 1: because it really make a lot of sense. It's just 839 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: like hearing them talk about the stuff they're interested in 840 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: that kind of just makes you. Can you put you 841 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: on a supportive standpoint, like, oh, you want to play 842 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 1: a video game, we'll play a video game. Oh, you 843 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: guys want to watch a movie tonight, We'll watch a 844 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 1: movie tonight, or you're gonna go do whatever. It's like 845 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: it kind of takes your mind off of those big 846 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: subjects that kind of always boom boom booming, and again 847 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: you could just like turn it off for a second 848 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: and you can focus on well, they're interested in there, 849 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: and you're also interested in as well. Just sometimes I 850 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: tend to think, oh, this is low key racist, Oh 851 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: this is loki. I just wanted to turn it off 852 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: every once in again line, I'm like you I can, okay. 853 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: I think what's interesting is that what I do love 854 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 1: about my kids is that they're gonna call a Spain 855 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:51,399 Speaker 1: as pay. They're not gonna fall into the part where 856 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,439 Speaker 1: it's on their neck, but they're they're gonna say, yeah, 857 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 1: that's they're gonna call that for what it is, you 858 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I think they can enjoy 859 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 1: life in ways that that that they can still enjoy 860 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,760 Speaker 1: the joy aspect of a thing but still be realistic 861 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 1: about what they're looking at. And I feel like I 862 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,279 Speaker 1: always think about it reminds me of the Whiz. I 863 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 1: grew up with the Whiz and the Whiz is such 864 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: a significant part of my growing up and I love 865 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: this piece of work. It's one of the most important 866 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 1: pieces of art of my childhood, the Whiz. But as 867 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: I got older and I became a little bit more 868 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 1: aware of certain things, there's things in the Winds I 869 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 1: can't unsee. Now I still love it, but I I 870 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: could call it for the big black dirt and horrible 871 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 1: which that forces everyone to work in a sweatshop. Stop 872 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 1: a lot of I can't. The monkeys bothered me, the 873 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:54,320 Speaker 1: flying monkeys, the monkeys. The good witch is light skinned. Yeah, 874 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 1: but but did you see their lips? Stop it? Stop it. 875 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's not even with the scarecrows scar 876 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 1: the music. He just wrote the music. He just wrote 877 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: the music. He just wrote. Yeah, I mean there's a 878 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that it's it's an important and 879 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: beautiful piece of work. And like I said, one of 880 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 1: the best lessons I learned that life came from the Winds, 881 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 1: which it was just like everything that you need is 882 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 1: in you. If you keep trying to look externally for 883 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 1: the things that you'll never be able to be who 884 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 1: you are and be in the fullness of yourself and 885 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: as long as you're aware of the fullness of yourself, 886 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: your home, anywhere you are, so that that will never 887 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: be taken away, you know, in that sense of the word. 888 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: But you know, I don't typically ask this question, but 889 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 1: I know we're running out of time, and I really 890 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,399 Speaker 1: want Jail to ask my baby, you know, the jad 891 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:43,800 Speaker 1: Ill question my pleasure, Lana Danzler, that's my what's on 892 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 1: your heart?
