Speaker 1: I know you revisit those old episodes of The Next
Speaker 1: Top Model, and you know, we thought it all changed
Speaker 1: in two thousand and sixteen, but it's always been a hellscape.
Speaker 1: That classic moment where she loses her mind on the girl,
Speaker 1: she says, we were rooting for you, We were all
Speaker 1: rooting for you. You You watch her explode on this girl
Speaker 1: who truly is just here to pursue her dreams. And
Speaker 1: then after the girl leaves, walks up to the rest
Speaker 1: of the group and goes, were y'all scared back there?
Speaker 1: I was scared too. It's like, fuck you, Tyre, you
Speaker 1: did it. You were the scary person. I really identify
Speaker 1: with the girl in that scenario. So she was just
Speaker 1: there being like, it's all right, I don't have any emotions,
Speaker 1: and like that's how I live my life. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you're nailing it. If not feeling stuff is the way
Speaker 1: to go for you. You're you're cruising. You're doing great.
Speaker 1: From chips in your racists money stuff can't tell me yep, yep, yep,
Speaker 1: there it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
Speaker 1: to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me, the
Speaker 1: podcast where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of
Speaker 1: black conspiracy theories, and we finally work to prove that yes,
Speaker 1: Jada Pinkett Smith maybe having a sexual affair with Ghost Tucac,
Speaker 1: but Will Smith is having sex with that bug alien
Speaker 1: who wanted sugar from men in Black. They're both cheating
Speaker 1: on each other in a futuristic heroic fashion, and I
Speaker 1: love it. I support it. Who needs a monogamous relationship anymore?
Speaker 1: Go have sex with strange spiritual creatures, is what I
Speaker 1: say to myself at night as I lay that to
Speaker 1: my wife, resentful that she wants me to stay with
Speaker 1: her forever. How dare she I wanna fuck a ghost anyway?
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Lankst and kartaman as always coming in.
Speaker 1: I'm misbehaving, y'all. I am supposed to act like this,
Speaker 1: but this is the behavior I jokes for myself. I'm
Speaker 1: a father now, I'm not supposed to talk this way
Speaker 1: or do these things. But baby, don't speak English, and
Speaker 1: until then, I'm gonna keep acting the way I act.
Speaker 1: You know who doesn't misbehave you know who? Really? She
Speaker 1: just shows up with just polite, respectful behavior. Every time
Speaker 1: we've ever interacted with each other. It's my guest today.
Speaker 1: She's phenomenal. She's an picturess, a singer, a performer of
Speaker 1: all types. You know her from The Bold Type, you
Speaker 1: know her from a new Audible production called Haunt the
Speaker 1: Johnson's that she and I had the pleasure of working
Speaker 1: with each other on. She's so cool, so funny, so talented.
Speaker 1: Give it up from my guest, Miss Asia d What out?
Speaker 1: How are you your dad? Yeah? As of five days ago,
Speaker 1: there's a new human in our home. WHOA Is that
Speaker 1: really scary? Yeah? You're gonna let me take this home? Yeah, Honestly,
Speaker 1: that was the craziest part is that, like at one
Speaker 1: point we just kind of looked over at each other
Speaker 1: and we were like, so no one else is in charge,
Speaker 1: Like like nobody else is going to intervene and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: y'all can't do that. Cut that out. Like we could
Speaker 1: do whatever we want to this human. And that's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild. I don't trust you, but you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. You're gonna be a great congratulation. Thanks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. She's she's a cool, cool little baby.
Speaker 1: So far, we're enjoying her company quite a bit. We
Speaker 1: don't have time to talk about my stupid ass baby,
Speaker 1: because we need to get into your conspiracy theory. You
Speaker 1: came with a spiracy theory that I would say is
Speaker 1: not one that I would classically associate with the black
Speaker 1: community of America. It is not necessarily a traditionally African
Speaker 1: American if we're gonna put that heavy ass word on it,
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory, but it is one that I think has
Speaker 1: undertones of a lot of the ship that black people
Speaker 1: complain about all the time. And I'm excited to hear
Speaker 1: your experience as a person not from America, at least originally.
Speaker 1: So let's unpack. I want to make sure I get
Speaker 1: this right. You said, my mama told me the government
Speaker 1: puts flow ride and out water as a tool for
Speaker 1: mind control. That's right, tell me more. I think this
Speaker 1: is something. You know, my mom is white from Australia.
Speaker 1: She's a cute little Australian white lady. And then my
Speaker 1: my dad is from New York. He's black, And this
Speaker 1: is like one thing that I think everyone can agree on, Like,
Speaker 1: as far as you know, every one of my families
Speaker 1: since then, nobody trusts the government. And when I was
Speaker 1: like I think I was probably like my mom went crazy.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's always been a little bit crazy, a
Speaker 1: little bit cookie, but she decided to buy this really
Speaker 1: expensive like we had to save up for as a family,
Speaker 1: This water filter that was supposed to take out all
Speaker 1: the fluoride had some fancy name that I don't even
Speaker 1: remember now. And you know, I don't. I don't believe
Speaker 1: any of the things that my mom says, but that
Speaker 1: one thing I had taken with me, Like, I don't
Speaker 1: drink any type water. I drink the expensive stuff. I'moing, whoa, Okay,
Speaker 1: So so you you generally avoid what your mom says,
Speaker 1: at least in terms of her conspiratorial suggestions. Let's go
Speaker 1: that way. But with the fluoride, You're like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: body that feels thread water. It tastes it tastes safe,
Speaker 1: it tastes like protection from the government's trickery. It tastes fancy,
Speaker 1: I think is the and I'm like very brand loyal
Speaker 1: when it comes to like my water and my moisturish
Speaker 1: when we caught dead like ashy or hydrate? Okay, and
Speaker 1: what what is may I ask? What is the best
Speaker 1: way to hydrate? If we gotta go fancy water for you?
Speaker 1: Where where you? Where's your your go to bottled product? Look,
Speaker 1: they're not paying me for this, but I'll do it.
Speaker 1: Mountain Valley. They come in the big grain bottle, the
Speaker 1: glass joints. Yeah, something about drinking out of glass. It
Speaker 1: just makes you feel like and glass is better to recycle.
Speaker 1: I've heard. I don't even know that recycling is real anymore,
Speaker 1: if we're being honest, I feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: it's just getting dumped in the exact same landfills and
Speaker 1: we're being hold. You did a good job, big man.
Speaker 1: Thanks for thanks for helping. I'll take it. I'll take
Speaker 1: any validation I can get, yea for sure. Okay, So
Speaker 1: so you're a Mountain Valley girl. I I myself. I
Speaker 1: think if I had to pick off the top of
Speaker 1: my head, Fiji might be the thing that pops in
Speaker 1: my head. But Fiji is not good for the planet.
Speaker 1: That feels like it's doing a lot of corrupt things,
Speaker 1: both in terms of the plastic and I don't know
Speaker 1: what y'all doing to the Fijian people to to be
Speaker 1: able to get this ship. You know what I mean. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna validate you here I know more than I
Speaker 1: thought about water. I'm realizing Fiji is Tyra Banks is water.
Speaker 1: Whoa right? Wait? Really, holy Ship? So I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know what you would call that in terms of
Speaker 1: like degrees of separation, but like it feels like you
Speaker 1: and Tira would be friends. Oh, I don't want that
Speaker 1: at all. Tira Banks seems super toxic and not a
Speaker 1: good person to spend time with after a while, Okay,
Speaker 1: so so your mom introduces this filtered water to your
Speaker 1: life at the time, are you resentful of being asked
Speaker 1: to specifically only drink water from this filtered space or
Speaker 1: you like, hell, yeah, Mom's on the right track. Immediately,
Speaker 1: I did make fun of her because she was convinced
Speaker 1: that she would be able to taste the difference. So
Speaker 1: I gave her like a bunch of different glasses of water,
Speaker 1: all right, so which one? You know? Which one is
Speaker 1: the reverse osmosis was what it was called, very fancy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she did get it right, oh, Ship, Like she
Speaker 1: could actually taste the difference. Yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I was convinced after that, and then you know,
Speaker 1: I started to like notice the difference with my health.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this has been my problem the
Speaker 1: whole time. Fixed because I'm I'm drinking, because I've taken
Speaker 1: all that fluoride out. Now I can really stretch the
Speaker 1: way that I wanted to before I was barely touching
Speaker 1: my toes. She's doing the splits. Now, what do you
Speaker 1: think or what is your mother's claimed that the government
Speaker 1: wanted to do with all of this added fluoride? What
Speaker 1: what is besides like, obviously my control is sort of
Speaker 1: a general suggestion, but what specifically do you think they're
Speaker 1: they're aim was with all of this? Well, from what
Speaker 1: my mom said, and I'm phoning my mom more than
Speaker 1: I would like to, but she really felt that the
Speaker 1: fluoride was there to basically numb us mm hmm. You know,
Speaker 1: my mom's an offer saying, and she's like an artist,
Speaker 1: so she's very emotional, and she was like, the fluoride
Speaker 1: isn't the water to basically numb us into the stasis
Speaker 1: so that we don't question things? WHOA, I know it's
Speaker 1: quite deep, and then I you know, I'll believe that.
Speaker 1: It doesn't take much to convince me of that. Really, Okay,
Speaker 1: So you immediately were like, fun, Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 1: to be numb. I'll take the unfloridated. Fluoridated floridate. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's correct Florinica, Yeah, Florida. I know there's
Speaker 1: an end if you if you say a certain version
Speaker 1: of the word, and then not if you say the
Speaker 1: other virgin. So let's just say both and then that'll
Speaker 1: be a safety check, that's right. Yeah. I mean, I like,
Speaker 1: I like emotions, and I like to feel things and
Speaker 1: question things, and you know, yeah, I just believed it,
Speaker 1: and I still believe it because you know, you hear
Speaker 1: things like around the way, okay, what like at the
Speaker 1: local bodega, they're like, hey, don't get that because florided,
Speaker 1: Like what do you mean around the way? You know,
Speaker 1: like nobody nobody likes l A. Like people live here
Speaker 1: and I'm here now, but I feel like the city
Speaker 1: maybe the toxicity is really just because the water is
Speaker 1: so bad, you know, in New York is like a
Speaker 1: little bit better because city because the water is better.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like there's something to this. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: you're saying that we all, despite the fact that we
Speaker 1: are all sort of resentful of our l A, experience
Speaker 1: that like we're constantly isolated and being put down by
Speaker 1: executives who should not have power at all, but somehow
Speaker 1: have the most power. Any of us can calculate that
Speaker 1: despite those bad feelings, it is the fluoride in the
Speaker 1: water that makes us okay with those bad feelings and
Speaker 1: want to stay in this this dry, sad place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like you get stuck here, you know WHOA nay,
Speaker 1: am I going too deep? Not too deep? No, it
Speaker 1: don't go too deep around here, but you are going
Speaker 1: deep and I'm enjoying. I'm enjoying spelunking with you into this, uh,
Speaker 1: this wild cave of a conversation. So you still maintain
Speaker 1: that there might be some level of mind control being
Speaker 1: introduced through water with fluoride in it. Let me ask
Speaker 1: you this question because your mother, you said, is a
Speaker 1: person who challenges, she questions. She's an artist. She wants
Speaker 1: to feel things. Was she being raised drinking fluorinated water?
Speaker 1: What did she have water with fluoride before this? Or
Speaker 1: was she drinking not that? And then suddenly it got
Speaker 1: introduced at a certain point in her life? Well, you know, no,
Speaker 1: this this all happened very fast, and I remember it
Speaker 1: quite vividly, you know, Yeah, before that, I don't even
Speaker 1: think we had a britta in the home. We were
Speaker 1: just whatever came out of the tab. And you know,
Speaker 1: my family is not They're not fancy. It's just just
Speaker 1: this one detail. M hm. My mom's epically has has
Speaker 1: really interested taken all the way to you know, which
Speaker 1: I think maybe makes it more believable in that way
Speaker 1: that like if you have a family where everything is expensive,
Speaker 1: everything is fancy, everything has like these specific you know,
Speaker 1: little tools on it that ensures the best quality of
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck, then you go, Okay, some of this
Speaker 1: is exaggerated. You don't actually need these things. This is
Speaker 1: just you being pretentious. But if you just eat regular
Speaker 1: food and and sleep on regular beds, but then you're like, yo,
Speaker 1: don't fucking touch water that isn't filtered through this machine,
Speaker 1: then you go, okay, you're really passionate about this in
Speaker 1: a way that you're not in other parts of your life,
Speaker 1: which makes me think you might be onto something. Yeah. No, no,
Speaker 1: they're they're not like nobody's doing the organic thing, nobody's
Speaker 1: doing the vegan thing. They're like on the West side
Speaker 1: of Melbourne, like you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I have
Speaker 1: no frame or reference or what west side of Melbourne means,
Speaker 1: but it sounds awful. It sounds like the fucking streets.
Speaker 1: It's the west side, you know, like people on the
Speaker 1: east side of Melbourne called the west side of Melbourne,
Speaker 1: like the Pooh phone Oh ship. That's real. What's up that?
Speaker 1: So I've only been to Melbourne once and I had
Speaker 1: a lovely time, and I don't know which side of
Speaker 1: it I was on, and I feel like it was
Speaker 1: like down that was probably near like a downtown. It's
Speaker 1: kind of vibe. If that's the thing that y'all have. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, it's it's Melbourne's an amazing city.
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up there for most of my fildhood,
Speaker 1: but that's where a lot of my family are now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Melvin's fucking amazing. But you know, the west side is
Speaker 1: known as the poof Wait. I have to defend the
Speaker 1: west side of moment, the west side of moment. I
Speaker 1: don't want all my West Side peace to come for me.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm saying what has been said. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying my opinion of this is not you uh,
Speaker 1: you substantiating the things that they're saying. You're merely documenting
Speaker 1: what has been said Amelia documentarian. Oh sure, and what
Speaker 1: a place to start your work as a documentary And
Speaker 1: here on this uh very unhealthy podcast, super toxic thing
Speaker 1: that we've built. It is about time to get a
Speaker 1: real job. You know, I've been playing make Believe my
Speaker 1: entire life. Yeah, this feels like Melissa McCarthy doing that
Speaker 1: Bob Ross documentary. You know. It's just we all got
Speaker 1: to commit to the real ship at some point. It's
Speaker 1: exactly like that. Yeah, okay, so your mom believes this.
Speaker 1: You you pull this into your own life. Are you
Speaker 1: then becoming the type of person who wants to spread
Speaker 1: this information to others? Are you? Like, if y'all want
Speaker 1: to be mind controlled, go crazy? I just personally don't
Speaker 1: plan to do that. I am like a walking advertisement
Speaker 1: for Mountain Back like water book. Oh ship. You guys
Speaker 1: can't see this at home, but you pulled out the
Speaker 1: biggest bottle the human being can't hold in their hands
Speaker 1: legally of Mountain Valley that's sparkling either the red kind,
Speaker 1: that plain old red kind. And when you walk into
Speaker 1: a room with a bottle of water that's the size
Speaker 1: of like your a newborn child. Sure you can't help,
Speaker 1: but talk about it, like I'll talk about water and
Speaker 1: my favorite moisturizer all day and I'll do it. So
Speaker 1: I would say, I'm I'm open to other people's choices,
Speaker 1: but okay, you haven't reached anti vax or protester kind
Speaker 1: of energy around water, but you are more than happy
Speaker 1: to preach the good word whenever possible. I'm quite tired
Speaker 1: most of the time, so just like leaving the house
Speaker 1: and like in going out into the world is enough
Speaker 1: for me. So no, I'm not I'm not super super
Speaker 1: passionate about it. I'm pretty chick. You know. Some people
Speaker 1: might say you you'd feel less tired if there were
Speaker 1: fluoride in your water. If you had a big old
Speaker 1: dose of fluoride, you'd have a burst of energy. Maybe,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would love to be proven wrong.
Speaker 1: It would I spend a lot of money on water,
Speaker 1: I'm realizing. But you know, I feel like I'm right,
Speaker 1: all right, fair enough. I feel like I'm right. Is
Speaker 1: not really a good argument for uh, for anybody, frankly,
Speaker 1: but I do think it's an exciting one for this
Speaker 1: podcast of just being like, no, I feel like I'm right.
Speaker 1: We're good, good vibes around yeah, you know, Okay, do
Speaker 1: you or have you done any personal sort of like
Speaker 1: research examination of this conspiracy theory, like besides your mother's suggestions,
Speaker 1: have you personally ever like gone and done any of
Speaker 1: like the hard work to find out if there's legitimacy
Speaker 1: to her claims. I like to have conversations with like
Speaker 1: straight just about it. Yeah, but I don't really want
Speaker 1: to google it just in case I'm wrong. I like,
Speaker 1: you know, I like living in this bubble of like
Speaker 1: correct you know. I think it's interesting you say that,
Speaker 1: because I don't think I've ever thought about that thought
Speaker 1: about it that way. But I do think that is
Speaker 1: in part why a lot of people turn to conspiracy
Speaker 1: theory and don't want to let them go. Is that,
Speaker 1: Like I think a part of us is like, no,
Speaker 1: I built a beautiful bubble here, like I have all
Speaker 1: the things I need in this pocket of information, and
Speaker 1: to burst that bubble means that my things go away,
Speaker 1: and I don't want my things to go away, so
Speaker 1: I'll stay here. Yeah. It kind of starts to become
Speaker 1: part of your identity at some point too. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: your it's your belief system, you know, and and all
Speaker 1: you have to do is just not google it. Sure,
Speaker 1: if anyone wants any tips for staying in denial, you
Speaker 1: can reach out to me. I cannot tell you how
Speaker 1: much I love the phrase. I want to put this on.
Speaker 1: If we had a website, I'd put it up there.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is not google it, and
Speaker 1: you can believe, I think in anything that's that's amazing.
Speaker 1: So okay, before we go to break, you have not
Speaker 1: googled it. You are not necessarily interested in in bursting
Speaker 1: your bubble and finding out what's on the other side
Speaker 1: of this bad boy, but you do love talking to
Speaker 1: strangers about it. Has there ever been a conversation you've
Speaker 1: had with someone where you were like, phenomenal work, sir
Speaker 1: and or madam. You are truly adding to the joy
Speaker 1: and energy that I feel around fluoride in water conversations. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like that there's like a similar
Speaker 1: thing that happens. Like, you know, where I grew up
Speaker 1: in Australia, there was like maybe five other black people
Speaker 1: in the entire town, and so we would like I
Speaker 1: would walk past people and you're like, not at them,
Speaker 1: You're like, what's up, Oh my god, look at you?
Speaker 1: Why are you in Australia. And and I feel like
Speaker 1: with the water thing, like if I see another person
Speaker 1: like holding a bottle of Mountain Valley, it's that same,
Speaker 1: like what's up? This is a person in the know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is I see you, uh, sister, I
Speaker 1: see you brother. We we are one and the same
Speaker 1: in this at least in this small way. Yeah. Quite spiritual. Really,
Speaker 1: I love that Mountain Valley bringing people together, first psychotic reasons,
Speaker 1: but bringing them together all the same. How hope they
Speaker 1: do endorse us now. I hope the Mountain Valley wants
Speaker 1: a small taste of my mama told me. I hope
Speaker 1: they're regretted immediately after, but they should like it anyway. Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We'll be back with more.
Speaker 1: Ashia be and more, Mama told me. And we are back.
Speaker 1: How are you? I am under the water, Please help me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're back here more. He should be more, my mama
Speaker 1: told me. We're still talking about the potential poisons, the
Speaker 1: mind controlled taxins being infused in our water, in our
Speaker 1: tap water, in our everyday water. When you go to
Speaker 1: restaurants and they ask for if you want water, do
Speaker 1: you always specifically before they even get to like tap
Speaker 1: or sparkling or whatever. You always just jump ahead of
Speaker 1: that sometimes listen, Uh, I can't be good a hundred
Speaker 1: percent of the time. I will say, there are times.
Speaker 1: There are times when I've just had like, you know,
Speaker 1: like a dinner. You don't want to be like that guy,
Speaker 1: so you've got to read the room really yeah, and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm big on peer pressure. So if I'm
Speaker 1: with someone that's like no, we'll just do tapping, like yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, that's totally fine. And then I like cry
Speaker 1: the whole way home. You're like, if everybody's having some
Speaker 1: mind control, I have a little mind control. We'll split
Speaker 1: some mind control at the table. It's nice like that. Yeah, wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's let's dig into some of this research because I think,
Speaker 1: I think, based on the fact that you are so
Speaker 1: committed to this conspiracy theory, a great deal of this
Speaker 1: is actually going to make you feel more confident about
Speaker 1: your decision to avoid fluoride. I think I'm not a
Speaker 1: percent sure, And keep in mind, I am an idiot.
Speaker 1: I do this research on Google, and I mostly do
Speaker 1: it for the sake of jokes, not because I'm an
Speaker 1: actual scientist. I don't know of me waving this stick
Speaker 1: around makes me look more legitimate. But it is the
Speaker 1: stick of a of an edible arrangement that was given
Speaker 1: to us. And it's just the where the pineapple used
Speaker 1: to be. And the stick is now in my hand.
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I'm just offering you information. It's
Speaker 1: doing great things to you. I think you should keep it. Okay.
Speaker 1: So the government claims that floride was originally added to
Speaker 1: our water as an aid in helping to reduce cavities
Speaker 1: and tooth decay by as much as twenty in both
Speaker 1: children and adults. That was the original motive for adding
Speaker 1: fluoride to the water was to make sure that your
Speaker 1: teeth do not decay. So and this originally happened around
Speaker 1: the mid forties. I think nineteen was the first introduction
Speaker 1: of fluoride to at least American water. Right in the US.
Speaker 1: It was so widely sort of like supported by the
Speaker 1: CDC that it has now been documented as one of
Speaker 1: the ten greatest public health achievements of the twentieth century.
Speaker 1: That like, it's between this and seat belts and cars
Speaker 1: that they're like, yo, this ship is groundbreaking changes that
Speaker 1: we we made for our population in making the world
Speaker 1: a better place. So that part not as supportive of
Speaker 1: your argument, but it feels so self congratulatory, and I
Speaker 1: don't trust it. I like that. Hey wait a minute.
Speaker 1: That's how they get you, right, is that this is
Speaker 1: all the government celebrating the government for some ship that
Speaker 1: the government did, and that feels weird. Okay. So here's
Speaker 1: where stuff starts to get even more interesting is that
Speaker 1: despite all of that self congratulation, there are recent studies
Speaker 1: that have shown that the early conclusions about floride, most
Speaker 1: of which were finished by ninety five, were deeply flawed,
Speaker 1: that they aren't as a full proof as the government
Speaker 1: would like us to believe. I love that. I love that.
Speaker 1: You're just weighted with bated breath just for for me
Speaker 1: to be like you were right Asia. This was a
Speaker 1: massive mistake. Now, the original studies, apparently, while they were
Speaker 1: correct in saying that there were improvements in the quality
Speaker 1: of people's teeth in terms of tooth decay and lack
Speaker 1: of cavities, all of that ship, what the studies didn't
Speaker 1: take into account is how much fluoride is being added
Speaker 1: to our dental products, which easily could account for the
Speaker 1: reduction in our decaying teeth. Right that, like there's fluoride
Speaker 1: in our toothpaste. We brush our teeth with that toothpaste,
Speaker 1: but we spit it out and that would make our
Speaker 1: teeth better and could be the reason our teeth are
Speaker 1: improving without needing to drink the water stuffed with flor
Speaker 1: ide and poison our brains. Thoughts anything. If I had
Speaker 1: a microphone, I would drop it. I think like nothing,
Speaker 1: I did this research, but like you played your part,
Speaker 1: you were They were like, this girl seems committed to
Speaker 1: our world, are our conspiracy, so we're doing this for her? Wow, wait, okay,
Speaker 1: go go on. I'm I'm ready for this to keep
Speaker 1: validating me. So like it's this is doing wonders. Listen.
Speaker 1: I often find myself dancing between conspiracy theorist and uh
Speaker 1: person who just wants to be free and go outside.
Speaker 1: So so sometimes I'm like, I don't know what then
Speaker 1: the government is doing, but they ain't attacking me personally.
Speaker 1: I'll let them be. But that said, I walked into
Speaker 1: this not necessarily a firm believer in anything Floriad related.
Speaker 1: I'll drink out of a puddle. I don't give me.
Speaker 1: But apparently I probably shouldn't be doing that because there
Speaker 1: is even more evidence that fluoride does have potential downfalls. So,
Speaker 1: for example, excessive fluoride causes and this is some of
Speaker 1: the things that came out of this study, that excessive
Speaker 1: fluoride causes floor r rosis, which changes changes in tooth
Speaker 1: enamel that range from barely noticeable white spots sustaining and pitting. Uh.
Speaker 1: Floride can also become concentrated in the bone and stimulating
Speaker 1: bone cell growth, altering the tissue structure and weakening the skeleton.
Speaker 1: So basically, too much fluoride, you know, basically does more
Speaker 1: damage to your bones than the fluoride that is helping
Speaker 1: to prevent tooth decay actually is helping, if that makes sense. Okay,
Speaker 1: So my dad said fluoride makes your teeth full out,
Speaker 1: and I didn't bring that in my argument because I
Speaker 1: thought it was bullshit and I didn't want to like
Speaker 1: in my argument. But now I'm realizing he was right.
Speaker 1: To you all, your father a deep apology. The man
Speaker 1: was spinding truth and you ignored him and told him
Speaker 1: he was He wasn't even worth mentioning on a on
Speaker 1: a very serious podcast. He'll be very happy to know
Speaker 1: that I have regrets about that. Here's where it gets
Speaker 1: even crazier. High levels of fluoride may be toxic to
Speaker 1: brain and nerve cells, studies say. Studies have also identified
Speaker 1: possible links to learning, memory, and cognition, deficits that it
Speaker 1: can funk up our brains even more so. There is
Speaker 1: a recent study that came out in two seventeen. I
Speaker 1: believe that, and this is where it gets complicated, where
Speaker 1: they found some correlation between pregnant mother's drinking fluoride and
Speaker 1: the i qes of the boy babies that come on
Speaker 1: the other side of their pregnancy. That apparently floride is
Speaker 1: making boy babies dumber and for some reason not affecting
Speaker 1: the girls. Now, this is where it gets complicated, because
Speaker 1: we're talking about a study that even the scientists who
Speaker 1: did the ship aren't saying is conclusive evidence to remove
Speaker 1: fluoride completely. They're saying, there is plenty of evidence that
Speaker 1: it's good for your teeth, and we can't prove fully
Speaker 1: that it's bad for your brain and certainly the brains
Speaker 1: of boy babies. But we are seeing a correlation and
Speaker 1: more study needs to be done to definitively say, what
Speaker 1: needs to happen beyond this? What is the real story here?
Speaker 1: Because it seems like there's so much evidence and nobody
Speaker 1: is pulling the trigger and saying just take it out.
Speaker 1: How comp how complicated is it? I love that you're
Speaker 1: asking that question, because what a segue for me to
Speaker 1: move into the next point try this is this is
Speaker 1: a goddamn we're doing We're doing a tango here and
Speaker 1: you dipped me and I got scared, but you lifted
Speaker 1: me back up and we're ready to keep moving. Come on,
Speaker 1: So the original because I asked that same question, right,
Speaker 1: where does this come from? If everybody is saying that
Speaker 1: fluoride has like these mixed interpretations and all of these
Speaker 1: things the problem And it turns out that in the
Speaker 1: scientific community fluoride is is like a battle right now,
Speaker 1: that they're actually having a lot of infighting in the
Speaker 1: scientific community because of the dangerous language and conversations happening
Speaker 1: around floride. That they're afraid of releasing certain studies that
Speaker 1: say bad things about floride because it just empowers a
Speaker 1: lot of people on the internet to take that in
Speaker 1: a completely opposite or more extreme direction. So these scientists
Speaker 1: are basically saying, Yo, we did a study. Turns out
Speaker 1: there is some correlation between babies having slightly lower i
Speaker 1: q s from mothers who are drinking floride. We haven't
Speaker 1: seen enough correlations to prove the fluoride is versa. But
Speaker 1: then a person like Alex Jones reads that study from
Speaker 1: legit scientists and goes, Floride's killing our our baby's brains.
Speaker 1: And because he has access to the exact same information
Speaker 1: that every scientist has access to and now has more
Speaker 1: followers than the c d C does, he has more
Speaker 1: power to manipulate that information, even if what he's manipulating
Speaker 1: isn't fully correct. Well, that's why people need us. Sure,
Speaker 1: we're the only uh legit source on the floride conversation.
Speaker 1: So um, everybody, that's why they need us. Mountain Valleys
Speaker 1: number one and number two salesmen. We we are the
Speaker 1: only source that people should trust. Okay, So then it
Speaker 1: got me asking the question where did this original mind
Speaker 1: control conversation come from? Right? Because none of this is
Speaker 1: necessarily saying that the governed to introduced it for mind
Speaker 1: control is just as saying that the government might be
Speaker 1: irresponsible in their handling and and sort of continuation of
Speaker 1: adding fluoride to our water. But it turns out that
Speaker 1: the original conversation about mind control comes from you guessed it,
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany. That Nazis used to use fluoride as a
Speaker 1: form of exactly what your your mom said. That they
Speaker 1: used the the fluoride on the people in the internment
Speaker 1: camps and the concentration camps to sedate them and control
Speaker 1: them and keep them a little more docile than they
Speaker 1: were before. Sh Yeah, they were basically using it as
Speaker 1: a nerve gas to keep people chill while they murdered them.
Speaker 1: Do they still use fluoride and other ships? Like, I
Speaker 1: know fluoride is in our toothpaste, but and it's in
Speaker 1: our water? Yeah, I don't. I think it's a I
Speaker 1: think it's in child alcolate apparently. I think there's some
Speaker 1: other ship that floride shows up in that isn't just
Speaker 1: water and toothpaste. If it's in the wine, I'm fucked.
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's a cool way to say you're an addict,
Speaker 1: and I love it. Thanks. I am pretty cool. People
Speaker 1: say that a lot. They don't. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: that floride is just limited to water and uh, water
Speaker 1: and toothpaste, and I do think it's a lot of places.
Speaker 1: What I will also say, being a responsible fake researcher,
Speaker 1: is that the Nazis were apparently using it as a
Speaker 1: gas and in extreme extreme doses, not as a very
Speaker 1: small addition to water. So I don't know that the
Speaker 1: effects would be anywhere near the same as they would
Speaker 1: be in drinking a all amount of it versus being
Speaker 1: fucking you know, this being the only thing you're inhaling
Speaker 1: as you are being put down in a concentration game.
Speaker 1: That's so interesting. I've never heard that before about fluoride. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even crazier. Part of where our conspiracy theory and sort
Speaker 1: of like this continuation of the conspiracy theory comes from,
Speaker 1: is actually we're talking Hollywood earlier. It comes from Hollywood
Speaker 1: that the film Doctor Strange Love, which came out in
Speaker 1: four suggests that fluoride is being added to our water
Speaker 1: for the exact same reason that we're hearing my control
Speaker 1: all of the things. But it's a fictional film, and
Speaker 1: so people I think are conflating the Nazis effort and
Speaker 1: this film and all of the language around it and
Speaker 1: making it a permanent fact in their lives. Rather than
Speaker 1: trusting science, be science trustworthy or not trustworthy. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a breather. I still feel validated though, Like I
Speaker 1: don't mean to bring it back to myself, like I
Speaker 1: just I just feel that it's also valid And I'm
Speaker 1: also like I'm I'm realizing my mom is a little
Speaker 1: smarter than I thought she was. And I know it's
Speaker 1: in small amounts, but like small amounts over our whole lifetime, Yes,
Speaker 1: it will have an effect. It probably, you know, adds
Speaker 1: up as we move. If we're talking to science, it's
Speaker 1: a lot of Yeah, it's a lot of hand motions
Speaker 1: that that aren't good for an audio medium. But you
Speaker 1: should know that we've been doing sign language through this
Speaker 1: entire episode, and we are being funny as fun with
Speaker 1: our fingers. We're doing okay on the audio version, but
Speaker 1: we're killing with our fingers. I will say that the
Speaker 1: additional sort of like a wild part of this is
Speaker 1: the timing of everything, right that Nazi Germany is using
Speaker 1: this to control the people that are being held in
Speaker 1: concentration camps, and then in nineteen forty five America starts
Speaker 1: introducing it to our own water supply. Now, whether that
Speaker 1: was intentional or accidental as a conspiracy theorist. I look
Speaker 1: at that time and then I go, fuck you, bitch,
Speaker 1: you try to get me, and I see exactly what
Speaker 1: motivated you trying to get me. And it's because you
Speaker 1: learn from those goddamn Nazis. Yeah, I don't trust it,
Speaker 1: not that I did before, but the timing is a
Speaker 1: little too convenient. It's it's scary the timing. Certainly now
Speaker 1: all of the government websites and this continues even to Australia,
Speaker 1: because I took some time to look up the Australian
Speaker 1: government websites and their relationship to fluoride, but all of
Speaker 1: the government websites around the world still maintain that fluoride
Speaker 1: and is in in places where fluoride is added. A
Speaker 1: lot of countries do not add fluoride to their water,
Speaker 1: and to further support your point, they have seen the
Speaker 1: same downfall into decay as we have seen in countries
Speaker 1: where we do add fluoride to the water. Now that's
Speaker 1: not to say that the number of people with decaying
Speaker 1: teeth are equal, right Like, I'm not saying that, but
Speaker 1: I am saying that they've seen the same drop off
Speaker 1: that we have seen in terms of like the general percentage,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Okay, so what the fun CDC
Speaker 1: don't know, But and I think that that's really the
Speaker 1: question that sort of lives on the back end of this.
Speaker 1: This is what the fox c DC is like. If
Speaker 1: you're telling me that this thing is still good for
Speaker 1: my teeth and it doesn't have enough damaging effect on
Speaker 1: my brain and all of the studies that are coming
Speaker 1: out are incomplete studies which all may be very true.
Speaker 1: You have not necessarily proven why this is essential to
Speaker 1: me being able to move forward in society, in life
Speaker 1: and all of the things why this has to be
Speaker 1: in my water versus why this has been added for
Speaker 1: a reason unknown. Yeah, well, should take this to them,
Speaker 1: Like I'm ready to go all the way with this.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to not do that much, but there's some
Speaker 1: stuff and not all the way, but you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm ready to uh to talk about it
Speaker 1: now and then once we hang up this zoom, probably
Speaker 1: never talk about it again. Oh, I'll consider leaving my postcode,
Speaker 1: am I I my you know, jump on Instagram, you
Speaker 1: know social media. Please don't do that. I want to
Speaker 1: be responsible for a change in your career. Because you
Speaker 1: decided that this was enough motivation to go again, big fluoride,
Speaker 1: Big floride. Yeah, no, no, no fear of me taking
Speaker 1: to social media like ever maybe a few times, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's set this one out. I don't know that it's
Speaker 1: worth it, but I do think and if if I
Speaker 1: were to pull any big conclusion out of everything that
Speaker 1: I read, you opting to just drink Mountain Valley sounds
Speaker 1: like a better choice than to uh to overexposure herself
Speaker 1: to whatever might be in our water. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I'd like to now. I know that I know they
Speaker 1: cannot hear bows, but please know she bowed in three directions,
Speaker 1: as if the audience were circular shaped in front of her. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, a vivid imagination, an imagination brought to you
Speaker 1: by not fluoride. That's right, folks, you who can dream.
Speaker 1: If you want to stop drinking floride, start drinking water
Speaker 1: out of glass, big gas glass bottles, is what we say,
Speaker 1: big gas glass bottles. All right, we're gonna take one
Speaker 1: more break. We'll be back with more HIV and more,
Speaker 1: my mama told me, and we are. Yeah, we're back
Speaker 1: here with more Asian D more my Mama told me.
Speaker 1: We're still talking about that goddamn floride and the government
Speaker 1: trying to trick us into drinking their mind control water.
Speaker 1: Fuck you Government, Fuck you Always, I think is maybe
Speaker 1: a better tag for this show. Fuck you Government, Fuck
Speaker 1: you always feels like the right instinct x X. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to Yeah, I don't want to be mean
Speaker 1: to him. I give them a little hugs and kisses
Speaker 1: right after I yell at them, But but I do
Speaker 1: need them to know that I'm aware of their bad behavior.
Speaker 1: All right, let's play a game. I have a fun
Speaker 1: game plan for us. It's it's our most classic game
Speaker 1: on this podcast. It's a beautiful game called white Lie. Ugly.
Speaker 1: You're disgusting, I'm gonna kill you. Give me two white lies.
Speaker 1: This is a fun game Asia where I am going
Speaker 1: to introduce to you a commonly held white conspiracy theory,
Speaker 1: one that that white people seem to be really latching onto.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. And what I would love
Speaker 1: for you to do is tell me why you think
Speaker 1: this conspiracy theory is so important to the white community.
Speaker 1: What do you think they're invested in, What do you
Speaker 1: think these sneaky motherfucker's are up to you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Hell, yeah, all right, this is a fun one.
Speaker 1: This is actually completely new to me, but apparently has
Speaker 1: been around since nineteen seventy six. But apparently, and I
Speaker 1: wonder if you've heard of this, But there is a
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that maintains that birds aren't real. There are
Speaker 1: no such thing as birds. I'll explain a little bit more,
Speaker 1: but looking at your face, you do not have any
Speaker 1: prior knowledge of this conspiracy theory. Great, I needs for
Speaker 1: their explanation. They're like, they're they're they're not here really
Speaker 1: Apparently there is an argument that all birds have been
Speaker 1: systematically exterminated and replaced with exact replica drones. That these
Speaker 1: drones are basically tools of the CIA, that the the
Speaker 1: CIA poisoned off all the birds with kim trails and
Speaker 1: then replace their the birds with drones so that they
Speaker 1: could spy on their populations. And my question for you
Speaker 1: is what do you think or why rather do you
Speaker 1: think white people are so invested in this conspiracy theory? Well,
Speaker 1: I really have to tap into my Michael Cajun side
Speaker 1: with this one, like I have to, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: my third eye really see it. Yeah, this is a
Speaker 1: really funny one to me. I personally and I have
Speaker 1: a fear of birds, so I know for a fact
Speaker 1: they're real. I've been stalked by birds. I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: I don't think you get to continue after I've been
Speaker 1: stalked by birds. You have to explain on under what
Speaker 1: circumstances with a bird hanging out in your bushes and
Speaker 1: uh staring in at you while you showered or whatever
Speaker 1: the funk you're you're referring to. Well, look, okay, look,
Speaker 1: I get the mistrust of birds, but they certainly exist.
Speaker 1: There's certainly there. Do you know what a magpie is?
Speaker 1: I've heard the word. I don't know that I know
Speaker 1: what you're describing, so tell me please. Okay, So a
Speaker 1: magpie is a bird in Australia. They're like black and
Speaker 1: white and at certain times of the year they get
Speaker 1: very aggressive. And I used to I used to walk
Speaker 1: to school. I'm getting like flustered. I used to walk
Speaker 1: to school and there was this one magpie that every
Speaker 1: morning when I would walk to school was like, oh
Speaker 1: the bitch is back, and would like like magpies have
Speaker 1: killed people in Australia that I don't know if that's real. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, that might be a lie, but I'm
Speaker 1: my whole life. I've heard that magpies are deadly because
Speaker 1: they they're really fast, and they like swooped down on
Speaker 1: you and they don't give up. Like and this specific
Speaker 1: magpie specifically focused on you and had beef with you, yes,
Speaker 1: every morning, Yeah, like true beef. Like I saw the
Speaker 1: look in its eyes. It was like, oh, here she
Speaker 1: is again, fucking one. I didn't have another way to
Speaker 1: walk to school. Is the only route to get there,
Speaker 1: to look. I guess, well, now I'm buying into the
Speaker 1: whole theory. Maybe that wait a minute, oh no, what
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? Capacity really just like jump the
Speaker 1: funk out? I you know, I guess we all kind
Speaker 1: of feel like we're being watched. This is I'm trying
Speaker 1: to have empathy here. I like where you're going. I'm listening,
Speaker 1: you know. Oh, this is so hard for me to
Speaker 1: get into this mindset because birds are so real for
Speaker 1: me personally, They're big pot of my experience here on us.
Speaker 1: I will say that, and maybe this is this only
Speaker 1: supports your Your concern about the magpies is that crows
Speaker 1: apparently are very good at memorizing basis that they can
Speaker 1: remember human beings and have been known to seek vengeance
Speaker 1: on people who have wronged them or hurt them. Now,
Speaker 1: I've never heard of crows killing people, and certainly not
Speaker 1: in the way that you're describing where it's like a
Speaker 1: needle point to the neck like the magpies. But there
Speaker 1: is evidence of crows. You throw a rock at a crow,
Speaker 1: and the next day that same crow is like, you know,
Speaker 1: crowing at you from the trees because it recognizes a bit.
Speaker 1: You don't want that through that rock, I'll never forgive you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say that I think like white
Speaker 1: people think maybe that the government is smarter than they are.
Speaker 1: You know, I got a little piece of cordboard to
Speaker 1: say that I was vaccinated, and we just had like
Speaker 1: a sticker on it. So I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I believe, you know, that they're capable of
Speaker 1: like creating this drone that remembers, you know, and is
Speaker 1: going to attack you with such precision. But I think
Speaker 1: I think maybe that that's where we kind of that's
Speaker 1: where that's where the part of me just splits into. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I will say I like that argument, though, I think
Speaker 1: that's a reasonable argument that that has long been proven
Speaker 1: through a lot, especially in the COVID of it all,
Speaker 1: is that like, white people really think the government is
Speaker 1: like this brilliant, evil entity, like sort of world power
Speaker 1: that's just controlling every facet of our lives. And I
Speaker 1: think people who have been more actively abused by the government,
Speaker 1: certainly uh intentionally abused by the government, would say, like, now,
Speaker 1: these motherfuckers ain't smart. They're just rich and powerful and
Speaker 1: can do whatever they want, and they don't care about
Speaker 1: our well being one way or the other. So they're
Speaker 1: not smart. They're just doing stuff because they can, yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: And so they're probably not replacing birds with drones or
Speaker 1: putting microchips in the in the vaccines. They're probably just
Speaker 1: like trying out some some ship on us, and if
Speaker 1: it works, they win, and if it doesn't, they'll say
Speaker 1: sorry in eighty eight years when no one else is alive,
Speaker 1: throw some fluoride in there. It sounds nice, and that's
Speaker 1: a nice ring to it. Let's just you know, throw
Speaker 1: it in there, we'll see what happens, and if we
Speaker 1: control them afterwards, that's fucking sweet. That's a sweet plus
Speaker 1: one to this wedding invite. You know. Hell, yeah, well, Asia,
Speaker 1: I think we did it. I think I think we
Speaker 1: nailed the episode truly, truly one of our more classic
Speaker 1: uh definitely our most classic sign language episode, one of
Speaker 1: our more classic episodes. All in all, Could you tell
Speaker 1: the people where they can find you and what cool
Speaker 1: ship you have going on? Oh? Sure, I'm I'm on
Speaker 1: social media and stuff because I have a millennial. I'm
Speaker 1: at ice Train on Instagram. I haven't been on Twitter
Speaker 1: in about five years, but I'm there too, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm chilling right now. I'm unemployed and it's lovely. But
Speaker 1: check out our aldival series. Yeah, do that unemployed ship.
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm fun employed. Okay, that sounds sick. That
Speaker 1: sounds like a person decaying, but unemployed in loving it.
Speaker 1: I can live with that. But fun employed sounds like
Speaker 1: you're hanging out at the mall and getting phone numbers,
Speaker 1: and I don't want that for you, so so don't
Speaker 1: be fun employed. It's fine. It'll all be over soon,
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to enjoy it while I can, you know,
Speaker 1: leep in stuff like that podcast. Well, please follow Asia
Speaker 1: and as always, you can follow me at Linkston Kerman
Speaker 1: on all platforms, And if you want to send us stripes,
Speaker 1: if you want to send us your own conspiracy theories,
Speaker 1: if you just want to send hateful messages to me
Speaker 1: personally that will break my heart and and you know what,
Speaker 1: stunned my fucking daughter, then you can send those to
Speaker 1: my mama pod at gmail dot com. We would love
Speaker 1: to hear from you, me and the baby. Otherwise, I
Speaker 1: don't know, by bitch, my crop chips in your Quala
Speaker 1: bears are racists? Money stuff I can't tell me
