1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Native lamdpod is a production of iHeartRadio and partnership with 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Reason Choice Medium to make Andrew smile. We also have 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: astronaut VICI lover sharing some profound words. 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: As artimist the best part. 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Andrew smile. 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 3: You know I don't have anything prepared. I'm glad you 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: brought that up, though. I think these observances are important, 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 3: and as we are so far from Earth and looking 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 3: back at you know, the beauty of creation. I think 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 3: the for me, one of the really important personal perspectives 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 3: that I have up here is I can really see 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: Earth as one thing. And you know, when I read 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 3: the Bible and I look at all of the amazing 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 3: things that were done for us who were created, it's you. 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 3: You have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: talking to us because we're in a spaceship really far 17 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 3: from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth that 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 3: was created to give us a place to live in 19 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 3: the universe and the cosmos. Maybe the distance we are 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: from you makes you think what we're doing is special, 21 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 3: But we're the same distance from you, and I'm trying 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 3: to tell you, just trust me, you are special in 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 3: all of this emptiness. This is a whole bunch of nothing. 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: This thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 3: this beautiful place that we get to exist together. I 26 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: think as we go into Easter Sunday, thinking about you know, 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: all the cultures all around the world, whether you celebrated 28 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 3: or not, whether you believe in God or not, this 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 3: is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, 30 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: who we are, and that we are the same thing, 31 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: and that we got to get through this together. 32 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: I just want to I want people to show. I 33 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: want people to know the type of symmetry we have 34 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: on this show, which is native land. Because you've had 35 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: the poetry and the great poets we just talked about 36 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: offset Gucci Man, and now this poetry that we just heard, 37 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: I mean Victor Glover, I mean that that is I 38 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: mean poetry to my ears. 39 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: I was saying that Gucci Man is the next person 40 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: set to go into space and travel around the moon. 41 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: Think I heard that someone. Now, what we try not 42 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: to do on this show is frick information. Like he's 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: been to the before. Maybe he just saw some space 44 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: bank cap. I don't know, but I do I do 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: want to say though, like that was beautiful. Obviously what 46 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: possibility looks like. Representation matters. But I'm looking at this 47 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: black man, first woman to travel around the moon. We 48 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: can do this, we can do Can we solve racism? 49 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: Can we can we address systemic inequality? And like what's 50 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: going on on earth? Very amazed at what is happening 51 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: in space, but like that really is a reminder of 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: what we do when we put our mind to something, 53 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: what we're able to accomplish. 54 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: But let me also tell you, let me tell you 55 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: my theory about this, uh miss Aaron, is that it's 56 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: not on black people. We got a lot of burden. 57 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: It's not that's not on him or on uh on, 58 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: on Christina Cox, the first woman who is who is 59 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: also on this artemist mission, Like it is, what can 60 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: the rest of us? What can the rest of y'all? 61 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: I guess I should say be doing to address the 62 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: challenges that we have here on earth. 63 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 4: To steal me, you know, I think that's fair point, Aaron. 64 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: And I think part of what he was there to do, 65 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 4: aside from captain the ship, I think he I think 66 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: he's he was the captain of the ship. Is that right? 67 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: Or do we know you might have just made that up. 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: But that's okay, No, I think he is. 69 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: But anyway, listen, he is a black man, in which 70 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: means he did a lot to get there, the. 71 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 4: First black man to travel that far from the Earth. 72 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 4: So I will say this, I think in part he 73 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 4: oh Lord, ankle, bracelets back to Miami. He is a captain. 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: He is the captain. Okay, I got it right. But 75 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 4: the point I wanted to make is that I think sometimes. 76 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 2: The navy. 77 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 4: Okay, sorry, I think he's the captain. Whatever he is, 78 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 4: he's either Captain such and such or he is the captain. 79 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 4: But either way, it's a privileged and honor. But but 80 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: what I think part, as we all know, all four 81 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 4: of us know this, the burden around this healing often 82 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: falls to us in the form of acceptability politics. This 83 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 4: adjacency to success and adjacency to power, adjacency to rare 84 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 4: experiences that are of honor, of positions of honor and dignity. 85 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: And when you get there, you're oftentimes rolled out there 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 4: as the person who then the white listenership or white 87 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 4: viewership where the racism problem in this country resides, and 88 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: not exclusively there, but predominantly there. They then get to 89 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: see you and say, oh, they're all not the same. Oh, 90 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 4: there is difference, and there is diversity, because where I live, 91 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 4: the people who look like that all do such and 92 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 4: such and such. I think it's dis I think it's 93 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: deplorable that people can be that simple minded, can be that. 94 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 4: As my daddy used to say, don't be simple, signed 95 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 4: don't be simple, which is, by my standard, the worst 96 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 4: insult you could get from your daddy, because that was 97 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 4: just basically, don't be dumb. But so often we find 98 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 4: ourselves having to carry that burden, even though we didn't 99 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: create the problem and we're not the ones who are 100 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 4: the cure to the problem, but we're oftentimes treated not 101 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: only like the people who who who made the mess, 102 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 4: and also the maids who have to come behind to 103 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 4: clean the mess up. And I just I'm proud for 104 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 4: that brother, because I hope he feels pride and what 105 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: he's doing in this moment of relief he's given us 106 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 4: here on earth where it feels like hell. But I 107 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: also hope that he has relieved himself, given this status 108 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 4: and what he's achieved from the burden of having to 109 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 4: be the acceptable one for receptional one. 110 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: Native Lampard is a production of iHeart Radio and partnership 111 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: with Resent Choice Media.
