1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: The melody itself compared to the original birthday song way better.

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: The original birthday song is so boring as to make

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: you think maybe birthdays ain't dope. Maybe maybe birthdays are

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: just shitty days that are acknowledging we're close to death.

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: That's how the fucking up turns out. Birthdays are yourself,

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: That's that's how you're supposed to do it this birthday

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: because of this song. Then you hear Stevie's version and

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: you're like, I got something to looking forward to, Pastor

Speaker 1: podcast where we got deep, deep into the pockets of

13
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: black conspiracy theories and we finally worked to prove that

14
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: Christmas Addicts proves that we are living in a horror

15
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: movie because he was the first nigga killed in the

16
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,600

Speaker 1: how I get down. Man. You never know. This is

39
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: a very important. It's a it's it's called a segue.

40
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: It's leading a little bit, if you will, you think, Okay,

41
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: I see what you're doing. You're playing a coy game

42
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: with our listeners because they don't yet know what your

43
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: your conspiracy theory is. But you have one that's very

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: applicable to a person waving for no reason at all.

45
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: I do do. We're ready to drop it on him.

46
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Let's jump into it. I I want to present it

47
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: as perfectly as you sold it to me. This is

48
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,119
Speaker 1: one that I've been I've been, Oh, I've been desperate

49
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: to dig into for quite a while. You said, my

50
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: mama told me Stevie Wonder isn't actually blind? That motherucker

51
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: can see. I'm gonna put it out there. Stevie can see.

52
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: The fact that he could play multiple instruments without the

53
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: ability to see should have tipped motherfucker's off, like nobody's

54
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: just grabbing an obo and knowing what to do with

55
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: my fucker's can see and can't play the obo. You're

56
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: telling me a little twelve year old blind Stevie couldn't

57
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: stop all right? Have you ever seen Stevie's wives? All

58
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: of them? Fine? He just randomly keep bumping into fine women.

59
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Was this the ray, Charles, ain't you rubbed their for him?

60
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Get the funk out of here. Stevie can see he

61
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: knows those braids need to go. I bet you he's

62
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: seen that too. That's how I know Stevie on bullshit.

63
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: There's enough evidence online of Stevie Duck and microphones and

64
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: making space for motherfucker's. You don't make space for people

65
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: when you blind, even even if you could sense them there.

66
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: You blind, you take the handicapped. That's what you do.

67
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: S motherfucker be moving because he's a gentleman and he

68
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: can see the motherfucker's he could getting out their way.

69
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: Stevie wanted to can see the best. His best albums

70
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: have to do with vision in a vision song, visions,

71
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: Get the funk out here, Come on now, Stevie can

72
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: see you Listen. I said, I came in high, you

73
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: came there hot, baby you. I was waiting the energy

74
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: when you what she started calling feels the ship. I

75
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: was like, this is this is homeless feels good energy.

76
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: Let's take some steps backwards because I feel like you've

77
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: already introduced some pretty solid evidence into this conversation, Sans,

78
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: so that one of the first things you said that

79
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: I think is a very valid point is that Stevie

80
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Wonder is a fantastic musician, like truly one of the

81
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: greatest like musicians our planet has ever known in his

82
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: ability to pretty much pick up any instrument known to

83
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: man and play the motherfucker. Now, we've seen evidence in

84
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: the past of blind people being able to play instruments,

85
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: but never with the scale and breath that Stevie has.

86
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: I think Stevie finds knew what Like, listen, a piano

87
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: is a piano. You can play the piano without looking.

88
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: People do that all the time, right, Ray Charles did it.

89
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Racharles in a fantastic piano player, but Ray Charles did

90
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: it by Field. And I say, Stevie starts with the piano, great,

91
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: but then you start playing the klimba and he would

92
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: find instruments and Quincy Jones is addict and ship they.

93
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: You know, there's all these types of I don't know

94
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: if they're apocryphal or not, but there are these stories

95
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: about him finding like these ancient African instruments and Quincy

96
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: Jones is attict bringing them down and within an hour

97
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: he's got them on his album. Because he's learning how

98
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: to play blind. So blind twelve year old Stevie Wonder

99
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: from whatever the Fun, Arkansas, who's never been outside of

100
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: his one room shack with his mom, went to Quincy

101
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: Jones Magnificent Match and found the fucking stick with a

102
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: hole in it and learn how to play milok. No,

103
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: he can see the ship. I'm sick of him lying.

104
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: I know we love Stevie, but this is some bullshit. Man,

105
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: motherfucker'll been getting away. The man's playing games. Let's say

106
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: that he planned he played in my face. He stopped

107
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: playing in my face. Stevie. Stevie, I know, I know

108
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: you can see this. I know you can see this podcast.

109
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: Steven though, I know you can see this podcast. So

110
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: here's what a Here's where I do tend to agree

111
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: is that there is something wildly insane about him being

112
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: able to pick up just random instruments. And maybe he

113
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: is a savant. Maybe he is just truly a child

114
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: prodigy because he did start at a very young age.

115
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't from Arkansas, He's from Saginaw, Michigan, a the

116
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: the Arkansas of the North. Some people referred to it

117
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: the Alabama of the Midwest. Yeah, are you are you

118
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: talking glow over Upper Peninsula because I think this is

119
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: like that sad middle of the hand that steaks you

120
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yes, Sagonall Michigan a little context.

121
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: The few people that I knew. I have a friend

122
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: named Anthony who's from Saginaw, Michigan, and it was commonly

123
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: referred to in college. I went to school in Michigan,

124
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: and it was commonly referred to by everyone as sag nasty.

125
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: That's what they called Sagonaw, Michigan was sag nasty. So

126
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: it's not a proud place. It's not a place where

127
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: where you tell heroic stories of survival. The only people

128
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: I know that have made it out of second On

129
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Michigan are Stevie Wonder and Draymond Green. Those are the

130
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: two survivors. Wow, I'll be honest with you. Draymond Green

131
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: just gave me a picture of Saginaw that makes the

132
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: sag nasty have some type of context. That's Draymond Grant

133
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: bottom lip not always attached, the top lips staring off

134
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: in the space. Raymond. Okay, Yeah, Now shout out the

135
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: Draymond man, who the type of man who would kick

136
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: another person in the nuts and then do a Veneers commercial.

137
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, just a just a weird

138
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: scumbag of a human being is high basketball like you,

139
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: but also a piece of ship. So apparently they create

140
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: savants who don't give a funk about the social contract

141
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: that the rest of us have signed, where you don't

142
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,160

00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: It's not even about his being blind now, it's just

155
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: he's not a good person. This is jamming on the one.

156
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: Fuck him for jamming on the one that's number one.

157
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: He went to Bill Cosby Show and play one note

158
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: on a shitty synthesizer, and people just went, that's amazing,

159
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: jamming on the one, jamming on the one that shitty music. Stevie,

160
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: that whole eighty synthesizing fucking period that you had, You

161
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: should fucking be angry at yourself. You should take all

162
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: that music off of iTunes. I just called to say,

163
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: I love all that bullshit that Cassio. Fuck you, Stevie.

164
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: I'm angry. I would apologize, but I mean this ship

165
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: I had that much is cleared. I don't think anybody's

166
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna listen to this episode and be like, I can't

167
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: tell how how Monk actually feels about this. This Stevie

168
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: Wonder character, he's just not passionate. I can't He's got

169
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: to commit more. What does he really think? So you

170
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: brought up another another essential little uh, let's call it

171
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: a clue at the possibility that Stevie Wonder is is

172
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: in fact able to see. And this is a really

173
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: interesting one to me. It is his hair. Stevie Wonder

174
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: has long. For those of you that don't know. Stevie

175
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: Wonder grew dreadlocks at a certain point in his life,

176
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: and then I gotta say he started with braids, and

177
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: then at some point he started to lock those braids,

178
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: and then yes, his hairline began to recede. But Stevie

179
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: Wonder has long committed to that hairstyle. Now, if I'm

180
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: understanding you correctly, what you're saying is he is intentionally

181
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: holding onto that hairstyle as a trick, as a sort

182
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: of like a mirage to say that, like what sane

183
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: man with perfect vision would opt to keep this hairstyle,

184
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: when in fact he does see what's happening. He's like,

185
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: sacrifice has got to be made to maintain my my illusion.

186
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: I feel like he's gaslighting us with his hairline, because

187
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: if you go, oh ship and put your hand on

188
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: your forehead, you know, the first time you did that,

189
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: there was hair at you. Now for the last fifteen

190
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: years you've been doing that, and your hand is no

191
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: longer feeling that You've gotta go way away from your

192
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: eyebrows hairline. You're telling me a motherfucker can pick up

193
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: an instrument, and my feeld know how to play that instrument.

194
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: But can't feel that his hairline has started behind his

195
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: ears for at least a decade, and I had get

196
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 1: the you're lying to a Stevie and gas sliding this

197
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: manipulative bullshit, and you shouldn't be out here doing that.

198
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: It's one thing to gas like somebody in the relationship.

199
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: You know, that's horrible on the micro level. This motherfucker's

200
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: gas lighting us on the macro level. And this is

201
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: some fun. Now he's black, so I'm giving him a

202
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: little bit of grace because hey man, they've been gaslighting

203
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: black people forever. So I'm gon leting sneaka get away

204
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: with this ship. Come on, Stevie, stop gaslighting me. Why

205
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: are you being weird to me? Steven So so part

206
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: of this is you feeling like this is not just

207
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: a macro attack, as you put it, but truly a

208
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: personal attack that Stevie is starting to to direct your way.

209
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: He knows, he knows, I know, he knows, I know,

210
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: And he keep doing this, ship man, and keep doing it.

211
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: You'll like it. I don't like it. That isn't she lovely? Motherfucker?

212
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: How you know? You know what I'm saying. That's a

213
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: whole lot of ships it's just like you're not supposed

214
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: to just isn't she? I don't know, Nigga, is she?

215
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: What's lovely? What it's lovely to you? You know what

216
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't like let me ask you this.

217
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: That's just bullshit, Steven. You know, let's let's let's backtrack

218
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: a little bit, because so many essential points have been made.

219
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Where does this start for you? When did you first

220
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: come to to this feeling that Stevie Wonder is not blind?

221
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Was somebody in your life that sort of initiated this conversation?

222
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: What it was it a specific observation? Where did this

223
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: come from for you? I think I think part of

224
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: it is being black in America and this this it's

225
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: gonna letna take you there. Just listen, Goods. There's something

226
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: about being black in America that when there's someone who's

227
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: exceptional and they're also black, we inherently question it, right Oprah,

228
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: jay Z, Beyonce and all of them are clearly in

229
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: the Illuminati, and and I had to go to jail

230
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: or you know, that's not the real Gail. The bitch

231
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: is a body or whatever it is that we have

232
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: to do to make this type of excellence makes sense, right,

233
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: And I and one of those people who has converted

234
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: because I was one of those early no black people

235
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: can be fantastic without some weird ship going on. I

236
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: would defend these people, and then people would make points

237
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, well that might be true, but how

238
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: about this. And then I started seeing videos of Stevie

239
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: in group settings where things would happen and he would

240
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: turn his head at some movement over to the side.

241
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Now go, well, why is Stevie aware of this movement

242
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: that a gentle breathe such his cheek and he's so

243
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: into Like, wait a minute, you don't get to have

244
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: all the superpowers at the same time. Yes, I understand

245
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: that sometimes when you lose one sense of other senses

246
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: of heightened But nigga, you didn't see that microphone fall

247
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: and then reflexively catch it. I can't do that, nigg

248
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: And I can see that you're playing the piano the

249
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: o bo, arranging the music and singing while swinging your

250
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: hand side to side like you're doing the whap, and

251
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: you happen to also catch my fucking microphone. Stop playing

252
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: in my face, Stevie, playing in my face. That's what's happening,

253
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: and also he's committed to those glasses. Another one of

254
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: those like, hey man, you've got enough money for a

255
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: stylis and your stylus. Another said to you, a nigger,

256
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: there's an the other pit glasses you can wear we transition.

257
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: There are other glasses. You could drive, big dog. You

258
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: could do anything you want to. You're wealthy, you could

259
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: get fucking custom made. Stevie wanted glasses, but you don't

260
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: wear them. Their motherfucker's with the studs, m gas lightness.

261
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling he's playing in our face. So what happened

262
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: was I was one of those people defending, like, no,

263
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: there's no way. Of course Stevie want is blind. Y'all

264
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: are hating. Black people are magic and black people do

265
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: magical ship, and every time a black person doesn't magical ship,

266
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: they're not wrong. Yeah. I found out that Stevie was lying,

267
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: and it didn't unravel the other ones. But I have

268
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: to out him to protect the others. It's important that

269
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: I out the offenders to protect the ones who didn't.

270
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: So it's just like if somebody beat you up right

271
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: and you go and report it, they say you're lying. No,

272
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: that's fucked up. That's funked up. I have to have

273
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: your But when somebody goes in terms and a false

274
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: report about getting beat up, well I have to help

275
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: that motherfucker get punished to the full extent because it's

276
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: his fault that they didn't believe you. So God damn it,

277
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Stevie reason that all these black people being putting a

278
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Luminati without actually being there luminati because you're out here,

279
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: line about your fucking vision. You at here? You got

280
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: one cock guy like you do what Music sold Child did.

281
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: They can wear pant glasses and do a couple of

282
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: don't want that to that point, and I think that's

283
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: a valid one. Music Soul Child has the same eyes

284
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: of a blind man. He the eyes that we have

285
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: been led to believe would appear underneath Stevie Wonders glasses.

286
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: But he's never claimed to be blind. He just claimed

287
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: to be a man who who spelled stuff all in

288
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: in one big chunk, you know what I mean, Just

289
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: one big clump of of words, and that's how he

290
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: was gonna name all. I would just want to switch

291
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: what that type of gumboigera but a little bit. I

292
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: just want to sing songs on there, please, Yeah, I

293
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: just want to say I could say what's your sher

294
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: better than I could say the titles of some of

295
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: his solfs and uh, but yes, that that's when Stevie

296
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: takes his glasses off. I am not uncomfortable in that

297
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: way that I should be right. That's that when you

298
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: gotta okay, let me send it myself so nobody knows

299
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: that I just went, oh, I wouldn't read Stevie take

300
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: his glasses off. We're like, oh, he cock. And I

301
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: do think I do think that that is worth us

302
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: taking on as a conversation in this that like frankly,

303
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: this is not us hopefully making fun of the blind.

304
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: We are not being unkind to those of you who

305
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: are disabled in any kind of way. This is us

306
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: having a conversation about an individual who happens to be,

307
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: or at least happens to be, claiming to be blind,

308
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: and wanting to get the real truth behind his blindness,

309
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: not just a a farce, a false truth. In fact,

310
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: if you are blind, you should be right here with

311
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: me doing the research, because it's people like Stevie that

312
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: makes it hard for you. You imagine growing up during

313
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: the Stevie Wonder era, and you tell your mama, you

314
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: can't do something like that. Stevie Wonder can play instruments

315
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: saying right, and he was gonna range it, and he's

316
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: twelve years old. You're like, nig I just bumped into

317
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: a door and you treat me like ship, I can't see.

318
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: They're like, we'll figure it out. That's why this is

319
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: fucked up. He's making it harder for people who actually

320
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: can't see. And that's fund up, Stevie. I know you

321
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: can see that point to that point, Ray Charles, who

322
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: I would argue was actually blind, was they an actual

323
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: blind person had to do heroin to deal with the

324
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: the pressure of living a life the way that he

325
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: did that like his his while he was massively gifted

326
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, he also struggled in a

327
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: lot of ways and turned to drugs as a solution

328
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: for that struggle. Whereas Stevie Wonder has somehow done all

329
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: of this. Ship stone cold sober, you know what I mean,

330
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: So you won't do no drugs. We don't know about

331
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: you drinking and falling out. You keep making jokes, you

332
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: keep working with us. I was just driving bit. Why

333
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: you talk like that line doesn't make you talk different.

334
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: All right, Nick, I know people from Michigan, and I've

335
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: never heard anybody from Michigan talk like that all thedition

336
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: is an affectation. One of two things is true. Either

337
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: Stevine one is a person who could see and he's

338
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: been putting on an accince he was eleven twelve years old,

339
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: or Stevie one is a goddamn cyborg, in which case

340
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: I know he can see and fuck him flying to us.

341
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: And also Elon Musk is involved. I don't know about

342
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: that second part, but it feels it feels right. It

343
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 1: feels right. This feels like something Elen could have cooked up,

344
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be like this is This has been

345
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: the original Tesla model the entire time. This was This

346
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: was the touring test. Was the figure out not only

347
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: could you not figure out that this was AI, but

348
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: you believe this was better than you humans. This was

349
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: the best of humans. Touring tests are supposed to say

350
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: that humans can't figure out whether or not it's a no.

351
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: This motherfucker is so good that he's convinced us that

352
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: he is the best of the humans. And he did

353
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: it by manipulating us the sympathetic blindness they chose a

354
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: fucking handicap that we would no one would question. No

355
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: one's gonna be like. You can see that. That's rude, right,

356
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: that's rude to ship nigga. You can see you can't

357
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: say that to a person, but I can't, nigga, you

358
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: can see. But I okay, Let's unpack a few other

359
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: things here that I think are really important in this conversation.

360
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: You have clearly chosen your side in the Stevie Wonder Wars.

361
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: You know exactly where you stand in all of this.

362
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: How on board are the people in your life with

363
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: this conversation? When you're married, man, when you take this

364
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: to your wife, is she like I hear you, baby,

365
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: and I think your points are valid? Or is she

366
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: like my nigga, please stop saying this and don't bring

367
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: this out of the house. Where are we at in

368
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: the scary things? Very much? The latter, um, My wife

369
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: was a was a very sensible person. She doesn't like

370
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: the controversy. She's very low key and if if I

371
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: could shut the funk up a lot more, that would

372
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: make her very happy. But the fact is, man, truth

373
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: tellers cannot be corralled. It can be put in the

374
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: box you know, I'm saying she knew what it was

375
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: when she met me. Goddamn it, I'm out of here,

376
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I'm exposing the ship, the troopers

377
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: out there. Stevie can see. You know. For the most part,

378
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: she'll let me rattle the ship off, and most of

379
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: my friends will kind of let me go. But I

380
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: do have some high profile believers. But Monti Jones, Lady PSPN,

381
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: is also in support of the the Snigger can See movement.

382
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: It's a lot of people out there. The thing is,

383
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: people might think I'm a friends group nigger, but I'm not.

384
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: Were mighty Were might be a silent majority. You know,

385
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: most people haven't asked the important questions. That's the thing.

386
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: Most people heard Stevie one is blind. They said, okay,

387
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: Stevie one is blind. They never thought to themselves, is

388
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: that nigga blind? They never said, let me question it?

389
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, We mother fuckers is questioning

390
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: all the vaccines and saving a lot, but you ain't

391
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: question whether or not this motherfucker been able to see

392
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: fifth he is. Yeah, Yeah, it's odds. You just told us,

393
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like if you told me

394
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: your name was Langston. But everybody kept saying your name

395
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: was Jerry. I'd be like, I don't know that the

396
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: name might be Jerry. I wouldn't just accept that your

397
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: name was because you said it. Stevie want to say

398
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: he was blind. A lot of people say, is he

399
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: what we just said? All you're idiots? Why why am

400
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: I the you know? I mean, I'm not telling you

401
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: the earth is flat, nigger, The earth is round. Stevie

402
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: want to can see. And interestingly enough, to that point,

403
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: the people who seem to be most vocal about Stevie

404
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: Wonder potentially not being blind are also people who have

405
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: had direct contact with Stevie Wonder in various forms. It's

406
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: not as if like it. It does seem in a

407
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: strange way that the people who are most avidly defending

408
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: Stevie Wonders blindness are also motherfuckers who have never spent

409
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: any time with Stevie Wondering. It's a strange conundrum we

410
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: find ourselves then, is it? Is it a conundrum or

411
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: is this America motherfucker's that don't know ship that's the

412
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: most to say, Well, I don't trust the experts. They

413
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: don't trust the people closest to the information, and that's

414
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: why we're in the second sum of a goddamn pandemic

415
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: with numbers to the roof because you, nigga's believe that

416
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder was sucking blind and you ain't never been

417
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: around Stevie Wonda day in your life, but all the

418
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: people have been within five feet of Stevie Wonder like not.

419
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: I think you can see at least a little bit.

420
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Don't believe science. Whoa hold on,

421
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: wait a minute, That's how they get you because you're

422
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: hitting some some valid ship right now, you're saying, and

423
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I'm getting this equation right.

424
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 1: You're saying that our willingness to just go along with

425
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: information is part of how we find ourselves in the

426
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: middle of this sort of like complex in fighting that's

427
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: happening now in relation to pandemic, and uh, I assume

428
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: racial issues that are wide sweeping the nation. All of

429
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: this is related to to our investment in Steven Wonders.

430
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: Hey man, you be hey, listen. I know you got

431
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: a saving called tuck to talk, but you're talking to

432
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: talk right now, like hey, non no, I'm back. You're

433
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: doing it. That's how we're doing it. That's all I'm saying,

434
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: is all I'm saying is the people being called sheeple

435
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: are the people closest to the information. The sheeple are

436
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: the people who don't believe the experts. The person who

437
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: raises their hand and says, hey, it's two plus two,

438
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: really four? I don't understand this. That's not a fucking

439
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: person who does their own research. This niggas making class longer.

440
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: Dumbass nigger, two plus two it's still four. Stop stretching

441
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: the goddamn lesson out because you want to be a contrarian.

442
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: Two plus two is four. It's been four, it'll be four,

443
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: And all you're doing is making her talk more about

444
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: the ship. Now, when the test comes, I'm not gonna

445
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: be ready because you're dumbass. Matter has been an extra

446
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes showing you two sticks and two more sticks

447
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: and making you counting the dumb sucking sticks out. Okay,

448
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: that's enough. Shut the funk up, except the truth, except

449
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: the facts. Realize that the person up they're teaching us

450
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: has been teaching it longer than your dumb ass has

451
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: been asking these questions, and accept their expertise. The person

452
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: who stood right next to Stevie Wonder on the Grammy

453
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: stage and said, hey, some ship fail. I saw Stevie

454
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: do a fucking pirouet catch the shop with his left

455
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: hand and never stopped singing. I believe that nigga could sing.

456
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: That's an expert. You listen to four songs last week

457
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: and you love that little Christmas song because he did

458
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: it with the lady who who's not her hair? And

459
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: so you're like, whatever, you stop, stop, kill your idols,

460
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: kill all of your idols. I don't given who it is.

461
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: Question everything, question but rock, question, the rock question all

462
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: the niggas because somebody, look, you don't get to that

463
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: much power clean, you don't get that high clean. And

464
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: as you said, Steve be wondered drug free. Come on now,

465
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: he is the chance suit of the music industry. Let

466
00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: me let me first of all. Mother. First of all,

467
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: you dropped a lot of gems just a moment ago.

468
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: But at its core, I think one of the more

469
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: you ended with something that I think is really important

470
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: and also something that I firmly believe in, is this

471
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: questioning of our idols. It's almost rejecting of our idols

472
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: if necessary, that We've reached this point in society where

473
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: we we pretend as if all of these characters are flawless,

474
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: when in fact, there might be something way more advantageous

475
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: to just admit that they are in fact, hugely fawed figures.

476
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: That like, it's easier for me to make sense of

477
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: jay Z if I recognize that jay Z is a

478
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: piece of ship, rather than pretend as if jay Z

479
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: is like a good dude who just earned a billion

480
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: dollars the right way. That's not how a billion dollars works.

481
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: He's a kind of soft billionaire. No, we're we're his

482
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: sweatshop employees. That's why we feel different, That's why we

483
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: want to give him credit for it. But because jay

484
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: Z made much of his billions off the back of

485
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: black people, and so black people want to say that

486
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: he's good because we don't want to feel like we

487
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: were a part of this scheme. We were, We got used,

488
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: we got sucked over, and we're the tiny little Indian

489
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: kids making nikes to make jay Z a billionaire. It's

490
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: the same across the board, and it's okay. He's a human.

491
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: We knew he sold drugs in his own hood. He

492
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: told us he did that, so hopefully we have to

493
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: go through that. But we did go through it because

494
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: we were more inspired by him than warn thank that

495
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: nobody listened to jay Z Versus was like, whoa Warren

496
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: and don't sell drugs. He was like, man, that's just

497
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 1: sounds fun. And the motherfucker I want to go up

498
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: the Avenue Incline Green five. That sounds like fun. That's

499
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is if we can't start from the

500
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: position that all of our heroes, all of the celebrities

501
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: are fun niggas first hmm, and then they did this

502
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: other amazing thing that you could give weight to either

503
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: one of them more than you give it to the other.

504
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: If you can say, hey, jay Z super talented. Yes

505
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: he's a human being, but he's not a ship human

506
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: being on the level of R. Kelly. But we shall

507
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: do that. You know the fact that R. Kelly is

508
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: still being defended, I mean, like heavily defended by the

509
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: lay people, right. Yeah. I get that his lawyers defending them.

510
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: I get that all of the people who were old

511
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: payouts are defending them. I get that. I get the

512
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: people who were close to him and really it would

513
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: break their heart if he was fucked up because they

514
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: have invested so much of their time. I get that.

515
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: What I don't get is this random nigger from Alabama

516
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: who has never met R Kelly, just like the same

517
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: motherfucker never met Stevie. Wonder why are you that invested

518
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: in making him not be a ship person. Yes, And

519
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: even if the conversation then and this I think tracks

520
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: with your point, if the conversation goes well, I just

521
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: like their art. I like the music that they make.

522
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: That is a different conversation at hand. It's not an

523
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: ideal one. Ideally we'll be able to walk away from

524
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: whatever R Kelly is making and just to be at

525
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: peace with the fact that somebody who touches kids probably

526
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't be on the radio. But even if that's not

527
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: the issue, what we or or rather isn't essential to you.

528
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: What is essential is just being able to admit that's

529
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: a bad fucking dude, that's a ship, regardless of how

530
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: you feel about stepping the name of love or anything

531
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: else that he's produced. And I think I think the

532
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: bigger piece of that is that is a very important

533
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: conversation to have about art, because the most broken people

534
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: often make the best art and if we were able

535
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that they are ship people, then we can

536
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: easily have that case said, Hey, you know what, really

537
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: fucked up do really good music. That's kind of how

538
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: it works that that's whatever the algorithm is, the more depraved,

539
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: the more beautiful the art. And we can't get to

540
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: that point because you next will admit that they're depraved.

541
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: You can't admit that pissing on a fifteen year old,

542
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: whether or not you believe there was consented or not,

543
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: is a weird wild ship seek shaman. But Nigga is

544
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: back in the morning with you know what, I don't know, man,

545
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: I gotta hit record out. I might want to piss

546
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: on the kid. Make the world my bitch, now, you

547
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: know what, it's gotta be a freshman out there, and

548
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: that's dry. It needs a pissing. Nobody needs a pissing, sir,

549
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: Nobody needs a pisson. You know what. That's a good

550
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: way for us to go out on break is no

551
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: one needs a pissing. We'll be back with more felonious

552
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: monk and more, my mama told me, And we are back.

553
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: That's right, We're back here with more felonious monk, more

554
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: my mama told me, we're still talking about the possibility

555
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: that Stevie wonders faking it, that that motherfucker and see

556
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: and his outfits and his glasses and his dreadlocks, what

557
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: are left of them is proof of his visual capabilities.

558
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question. Do you think that

559
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: Stevie has arranged with the people in his life to

560
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: keep this hush hush? Because he has multiple ex wives

561
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: who have never come forward. He has lots and lots

562
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: of children who have never once spoken up about their

563
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: fathers supposed blindness, you know, fake or otherwise. Do you

564
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: think that he has propositioned them whereas everybody just trying

565
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: to protect their own bag. I think he's protected. I

566
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: mean we this is generational. And again we just use

567
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: the R. Kelly example, which is a ship example of

568
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: the worst of humanity right like it is. So what

569
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: happens is the complicity makes people defensive because if those

570
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: people acknowledge how shitty he is, then they're also acknowledging

571
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: a certain amount of willingness to at least turn away

572
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: from the shitty, to know that it's there, and to

573
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: still be in its presence and its proximity for money

574
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: and you've told everyone with your prices, right, my prices,

575
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: whatever the bag is he's given me, I'm willing to

576
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: overlook him harming these children because it's financially beneficial to me.

577
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: And all of us want to believe that if we

578
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: were on that game show where someone dropped the money,

579
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: we would run up and give it to him. But

580
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: some real niggas out there is like, no, nigga, you

581
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: dropped a million dollars in front of me. I am

582
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: now a millionaire. And and until we can admit that

583
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: as people that some of us and a lot a

584
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: lot more of us than are willing to admit it

585
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: would cover for somebody doing something shitty if we thought

586
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 1: we could get away with it and we got paid.

587
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: And the heavier weight is probably to the get paid,

588
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna cover for R. Kelly just to

589
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: cover for the nigga. But they start throwing money, the

590
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: conversations changed. Now for me, Fuck him, I got kids,

591
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: I got you know what I mean. I know enough

592
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: women who this has happened to that I wouldn't defend that.

593
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: I think in Stevie won this case, this is kind

594
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: of a victimless. So if he is cited. Let's say, hypothetically,

595
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: Stevie want de cited, and the worst that happened is

596
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: his records were held and slightly less esteemed. He is

597
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: currently considered a musical god. He would just be considered

598
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: a really good musician with weird fashion choices. Yeah. Yeah,

599
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: if Stevie wondered on record, could see we would maybe

600
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: put a little more analysis on some of his later albums.

601
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: We'd be like, bro, some of these wouldn't smack in

602
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: the way that these earlier The whole eighties can kiss

603
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: my ass. Everything he made all at the birthday song

604
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: that niggas love to sing. Listen to the actual birthday song,

605
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: the song itself, not the way niggas saying happy but

606
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: that's great, but take that out of it, take the nostalgia,

607
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: the camaraderie, the cookout vibe, and just go listen to

608
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: the song. It sounds like that nigga turned the keyboard

609
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: one pick three, sped it up a little bit, and

610
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: started singing while doing chord progressions. Ship is fucking awful.

611
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: It's nobody, you know how you can tell his trash.

612
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: Nobody has ever sampled the birthday song on a song,

613
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: not Kanye ain't slowed it up, spent, sped it down. No,

614
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: none of that. He just sucking said. No Stevie Wonder

615
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: from the eighties, all of that ship trash. I'm gonna

616
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: be real with you. I love that birthday song and

617
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: I this hurts my heart to hear that it it

618
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: potentially could be a trash song, and I'm gonna go

619
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: listen to it, and I'm give an objective response. I'm

620
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: not gonna defend it here because I can't honestly say that.

621
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know write because most of us

622
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: don't listen to the song. We know the song. The

623
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: song has meaning to us because there's not been a

624
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: birthday since probably in your lifetime that you haven't heard

625
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: that song. MM, so that's certainly you gotta remember I

626
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: gotta White Daddy, but there were quite a few that

627
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: had it, and I really liked those birthdays better. So

628
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: that's the thing. This feels black, This feel his song,

629
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: just the singing of it. And there's always one woman

630
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: in your family who says, fuck the group dynamic, I'm

631
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: going solo, and she really just belts to You're like whoa,

632
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: whoa Loretta, And that's what you that's what you like

633
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: about the song. If you hear the song separate from

634
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: that experience, it's basically I just called to say I

635
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: love you. Sped up with birthday lips. It's not a

636
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: good song. It's not a good song. And I know

637
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: it was for Mike Martin Luther King Jr. I understand

638
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: that it wasn't just the birthday song for nets. It

639
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: has turned into the birthday song for nigga's like many

640
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: of the things that black people created. Whatever it was

641
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: originally intended for, it had shifted into a more commercial

642
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 1: version of it. It It was supposed to be to get

643
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: states like Arizona to commit to making Martin Luther King

644
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: Junior's day of national holiday. Yes, but if you're gonna

645
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: do that, you're the dude who wrote songs in the

646
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: key of life. You understand, I mean you you you're

647
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: you're you wrote, sir Duke, Yes, this is what you

648
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: gave us. You're saying he could have showed up better,

649
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: but he leaned on his blindness as a scapegoat for

650
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: writing a mediocre birthday song. To Martin Luther King Jr.

651
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: To Martin Luther Bill, if you're gonna write if you're

652
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna write anything to Martin Luther King Jr. I feel

653
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: like this uh nervous. You should you should be? You

654
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: should be. Diana Ross sing a song when Marvin Gaye died.

655
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: It was a very moving song. It's probably the best

656
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: goodbye song. And and and let's how you know what

657
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: it is. This is the song that Puffy sampled when

658
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: he did his Biggie tribute, I'm Missing you O great song.

659
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: The Commodores also did a song and tribute to Marvin

660
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: Gaye and Jackie Wilson. It's called The knight Ship. Lionel

661
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 1: Richie was no longer with the Commodores at that point.

662
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: I know rich as we all know, is one of

663
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: the greatest songwriters in the last hundred years. It's basically

664
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: Lionel Richie Burt Back IRAQ. If you liked the song

665
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: from sixty two nine, one of them niggers wrote the ship,

666
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: and by niggas, I'm being very loose with that because

667
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: Burt Back record. Yeah, so he's not listening to the podcast,

668
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: like yes, finally, I mean waiting for somebody to realize

669
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: I was a real nigga back right bitch. So so

670
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: what Stevie Wonder did was right the night shift of

671
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: birthday songs. Sure, I get the sentiment, but Nigga, that

672
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: song is terrible. Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down

673
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: on the night shift, Nile. That got to do about

674
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: Marvin Gay guying right, gonna be a long night, Gonna

675
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: be all right on a night shift? What they And

676
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: that's what Stevie Wonder and he knew that big voice

677
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: niggas and big it's nigger women. We're gonna be able

678
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: to fix it. It's the equivalent of somebody hiring you

679
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: for an acting role of saying some improv will be

680
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: expected because they didn't write the funny ship very well,

681
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: but they know that you're funny. Asked on turn it

682
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: into something you in a show. Stevie Wonder wrote a

683
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: baseline song said have at it niggas and niggas have

684
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: had at it for thirty plus years. Wow. Well this

685
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: is devastating if true. I've got a lot to think about.

686
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: But before I do, I want us to unpack some

687
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: of this research. I did a fair amount of research

688
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: on this subject, and fortunately quite a few websites have

689
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: done some research for me. This is a far more

690
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: popular conspiracy theory than the world would lead you to believe.

691
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: But let's start right at the beginning. One of the

692
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: first things that personally cued me into believing that Stevie

693
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: Wonder might in fact not be as blind as he

694
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: as he says is that Stevie Wonders real name is

695
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: actually Stevlin Hardaway Morris, which suggests personally that Stevie took

696
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: one look at that goofy ass name written down and

697
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: he said, I gotta change this. This. I wonder what

698
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: could be better? This looks terrible on paper. I gotta

699
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: do something about this. Mm hmm. Also, there's a copy

700
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: of his handwriting of him writing Stevlin on one of

701
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: his earlier albums, and if you see that, it is

702
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: written as if he had some kind of guy to

703
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: let him know how big to make each letter. Either

704
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: this nigger understands proportions really well without have her ever

705
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: seeing a proportion, or somebody taught this nigga how to write,

706
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: and he looked at the paper and wrote, stev I'm

707
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: not going keep playing my goddamn faith. So Stevie Wonder

708
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: is initial blindness, which I think is something that is

709
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: worth talking about because it becomes a big point of

710
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: conversation and how you understand whether or not he is

711
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: in fact blind. Stevie Wonder was not born blind. He

712
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: was technically born with site. He was born six weeks premature,

713
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: and while he was premature, he was placed in an incubator,

714
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: and at the time technology wasn't as in medical sort

715
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: of knowledge wasn't as precise, and they basically overserved him oxygen.

716
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: They gave him way too much oxygen inside that incubator,

717
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: which caused a a type of disorder, a disease called

718
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: retinopathy of prematurity. It's called r OP, a condition in

719
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: which the growth of the eyes is aborted and causes

720
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: the rediness to detach. So he became blind six weeks

721
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: into his life. That said, Stevie Wonder has not technically

722
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 1: ever been able to see, because anybody that knows anything

723
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: about babies knows that babies can't really see ship for

724
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: the first like month and a half of their life.

725
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: They're just seeing bright lights and colors kind of, and

726
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: it even colors is a bit of a stretch in

727
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: that earliest in those early stages. So the argument where

728
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: this I guess becomes an argument is that Stevie Wonders.

729
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: Music is so deeply rooted in physical descriptions of color, shapes,

730
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: and textures that it is hard to believe that a

731
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: person who has never known site is able to so

732
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: accurately describe so many physical traits out in the world. Mhm.

733
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: So again we're gonna go back to America being a

734
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: ship hoole. When you think of blackness, you only can

735
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: understand blackness as a construct as it relates to whiteness

736
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: for some otherness. Right, so when you say nappy hair,

737
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: you have to assume there's a non nappy hair. Well,

738
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: how do you know what this is? How do you

739
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: know which is looking back on? When I first of

740
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: all you started with looking back, you could have said

741
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: thinking that it's the same amount of syllable thinking back

742
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: on where not nobody changes the song. It's still fun,

743
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: you goddamn man like Stevie Wonders. But you know what,

744
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: I can't sing that good because I can see. But

745
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: if I was blind and I sing like that, you

746
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: would have changed the name of the show from my

747
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: mama told me to goddamn that blind nigger can sing.

748
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Stevie Wonder said, looking back on

749
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: when I was a little nappy headed boy, how to funk?

750
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: You know your hand was nappy, Stevie? Who told you that?

751
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,959
Speaker 1: Who taught you to hate yourself? Stevie? Nobody? You saw

752
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: your hair, you knew it was nappy, looked back, you

753
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: understand me. I love these descriptions, I do think, and

754
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,919
Speaker 1: I think this is really important because it then sort

755
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: of introduces us to childhood Stevie Wonder, right, And there

756
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: are arguments to be made that maybe people in his

757
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: life use this language or sort of like articulated this

758
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: language around him, and then he adopted that language much

759
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: in the way that he adopted his knowledge of instruments

760
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: through listening to people play instruments around him in the radio, right,

761
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: That that's a a potential argument to be made. But

762
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: one of the things that kept popping up in the

763
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: research that I did, and a dead Spin article, I

764
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: want to give them credit put together a pretty solid

765
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: list of all the different arguments that have been made

766
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: about Stevie Wonders potential uh non blindness. But one of

767
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: the things that they said about Stevie Wonder as a

768
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: child is that this motherfucker loved playing pranks. That he

769
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: was known for running around both motown like recording studios

770
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: and his own home and playing pranks, specifically on adults

771
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: without anyone's help or supervision. That he was like really

772
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: good at playing pranks on everyone around him. HM, go

773
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: a little the little blind boy. They can't see it's

774
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: able to trick you and you didn't know. Listen, I

775
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: got a five year old that falls down anytime he

776
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: takes steps that are a little faster than the step

777
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: he took before. Niggle fall eight nine times a day.

778
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: You here, I'm okay when you ain't even know nothing

779
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: was not over. Just be walking. You're here, you hear,

780
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay. That's that's what children do. Right, we're talking

781
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: about pre twelve year old Stevie. We're talking about running

782
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: around the house and doing it at more time. This

783
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: is before Stevie Wonder was famous. He was known as

784
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: a prankster. You're blind prankster. Come on now, y'are doing

785
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: too much. Y'all saying things that don't make sense to

786
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: me and then gonna look me on my face and

787
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to question. That's this is again, this

788
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: is all the biggest scam here and I'm gonna tell

789
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: you I don't have a problem, Stevie wanted to, being

790
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: blind ex cited. I don't give ship really. I like

791
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: the music, it's really good. But the bigger thing here

792
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: is if I can keep convincing niggas of lies, and

793
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: I can make nick Is believe government bullshit, so I

794
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: can just get you all to believe this simple life.

795
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: You get somebody believe a little lie, then you can

796
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: get them to believe a bigger lie, and then a

797
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: bigger lie to you. So eventually we started to just

798
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: stop questioning Ship. That's what I'm saying. Stevie wanted that

799
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: ain't been pranking nobody with no goddamn usit y'all gonna

800
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: keep lying to me and very gordy and all the

801
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: motherfucker's just firing niggas for showing up late. But we're

802
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: gonna let this a twitter year old prank us and

803
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: our ship out here. Stevie wanted could see. They knew

804
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: he could see when he was a cash cow. There

805
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: is I do think there's something really valid in the

806
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: argument that this is in fact an easy way into

807
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: a much more sinister world of lies and deceit that

808
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: this is the sort of like entry level like you

809
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: said that in theory could be harmless, but leads into

810
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: something that is much more harmful. And it all is

811
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: mixing the culture of lies together. There you go. If

812
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: we could just get these niggas to believe, if we

813
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: did just get these ticke and you and you have

814
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: to start with something, And what's the great and truport

815
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: for black people. It's always going to be music, dance songs,

816
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: R and B. So if I can sprinkle some bullshit

817
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: and that I can take anywhere if they wanted, if

818
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: they wanted black people to take the vaccine, they're the

819
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: guy beyonest. The thing about ship, Yeah, man, if you

820
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: had told black people that the government was trying to

821
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: kill us with COVID and the only solution was the vaccine,

822
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: you might have got niggas to take the dad vaccine. Yes,

823
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 1: that they could have invested in a way that actually

824
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: got people interested in this, but instead opted to sort

825
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: of like play this neutral game of getting like obscure

826
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: random black people who drive left to be like, Hey,

827
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: I took the vaccine and I still got my job,

828
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: which I liked. Your song selection is awful. Also, you

829
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: before I got in the car, I don't trust I

830
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: don't enjoy talking to you for fifteen minutes at a time.

831
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: I want to put a trust your word on this.

832
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,479
Speaker 1: I do think that there's a psychology of play. And

833
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: the CDC, for example, clearly has not studied human psychology.

834
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: Right when when you're scientists, scientists say things and this

835
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: is it's a good point too, because your your poet.

836
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: You understand that Stevie's language and we're pointing to and

837
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: we're making everything that he says literal, right, But of

838
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: course he's chosing he's choosing this visual language because that

839
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 1: maybe that was helped with his songwriting. Someone saying, maybe

840
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: we can't keep making these abstract air statements. We can

841
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: see we don't know what you're talking about, okay, but

842
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: understand the human psychology. You make the adjustment so that

843
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: it reaches the broadest waking people. When the CDC says

844
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: things like we don't have any evidence that suggests that

845
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: masks work, anyone who studies science understands that that means

846
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 1: we haven't studied it enough to have a definitive answer,

847
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: So we can't tell you we don't have any evidence

848
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: that it works. That doesn't mean we have evidence that

849
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It just means we haven't studied. And so

850
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: later when they go, hey, where your mask, you go, oh,

851
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: that's flunked up. First y'all said don't wear a mask.

852
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: First you'll say a mask don't work. That's not what

853
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: they said. They said, there's no evidence because we haven't

854
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: studied it yet, and so not understanding psychology is how

855
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: we get into these places where these people who are

856
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: experts on the subject are also not experts in the

857
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: most important subject, and that's how to communicate this information.

858
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: I think that that's what happened here. We have an

859
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: expert in the situation. Stevie Wonder is an expert of music,

860
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: but he's a goofy looking, a little nigger from Saginaw, Michigan.

861
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: And there's no way to sell that, but you can

862
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: make him blind. I think that that little dance that

863
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: he does, that little sway that he does, that comes

864
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: from him being rock until he was three or four

865
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: years old to put him to sleep, and so the

866
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: only way that he could relax. I think that motherfucker

867
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: danced like that from the beginning. Here, Gordy, I'm looking

868
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,240
Speaker 1: at little Michael in them, and they dancing their asses off.

869
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: They can move, they can do all kinds of ship.

870
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: And then Stevie comes in more probably more talented pain

871
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: at that age. But but they can't get him to

872
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: do what little Mike we need and we need not

873
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: because you got you got Jackie Wilson, right, you got

874
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, you got you got James Brown. What can

875
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: you do? I could play the harmonica and and wobble. Yeah,

876
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work, you know what, exactly right? Put

877
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: these overside sunglasses on, cocky. I a little bit. Every

878
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: time you take them off, you think you really case

879
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: Sue and with this a little ass suit, and that's

880
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: what you're doing. And so it was lass suit, you

881
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So when when I see him,

882
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: I feel like, this is how everything in America gets commodified.

883
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 1: This works, but it only works if I take advantage

884
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 1: of psychology. Nobody wants to see this nigger. He's blind.

885
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, now I want to see him. It's

886
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: a little blind boy. He could play the piano. That's

887
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: what happened. And then once he got older and he

888
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: had control of his own career, he broke away from

889
00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: basically Black Disney, which was Motown. You know, you can't

890
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: tell Nick that you can see at twenty four. So

891
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: you went from six weeks four without being able to see.

892
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: And it's a miracle out ahead, you know what I mean.

893
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: And we and by the way, we've had surgery to

894
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: reattach retins for a while now mm hmm. You're telling

895
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 1: me this multimillionaire didn't decide to go get a peek, right,

896
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: didn't at least go and get get an analysis to

897
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: see if maybe exploratory and fucking visit or something. We

898
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: heard the Chris Rock Stevie want that can't get a peak.

899
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: We got m r NA vaccines now, vaccines that attached

900
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: to and talked to your body on the most on

901
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: the smallest cell level, and that's what's helping us fight

902
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: off a virus. And you're telling me, Steve Steblin Hardaway,

903
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 1: Morris Steveling, Hardaway, mores, I can't even get an appointment

904
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: at the doctor. If you don't get the funk out

905
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: of my face, you're gonna stop playing in my face.

906
00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: Man Lenscrafters called Stevie. Wonder somebody you got out for

907
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: your chief? You a eye or something? Okay, Uh, let's

908
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: unpack a bit more of this research, so to the

909
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: point of of celebrities who have sort of come forward

910
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: and suggested that they personally believe that Stevie Wonder can

911
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: in fact see it's a long list. Boy George tells

912
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: the story of Stevie Wonder once coming up to him

913
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: at a party where War George was just hanging out,

914
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 1: and then Stevie Wonder snuck up behind him and began

915
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: to playfully choke Boy George from behind, despite not having

916
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: a guide and not knowing that that was in fact

917
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: Boy George. He just came up and started putting him

918
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 1: in a in a curt angle headlock because he thought

919
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: the ship was funny. And Boy George was like, I

920
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 1: don't know that motherfucker can't see, but I'm not gonna

921
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: say nothing because it's Stevie Wonder. So he smelled chameleon,

922
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: like what what you know? How did he just guess

923
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: that was Boy George? And also if he had no guide,

924
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: how did he maneuver through a crowd? How did you?

925
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: How did you sneak up? How nigoln can't see sneak

926
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: up on you? You? You what you just told me?

927
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: Boy George is anytime I see you in public, I

928
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: should prob you. You either a blind man just snuck

929
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: up on you and put you in a chokehold. Oh

930
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,919
Speaker 1: and and therefore you should be robbed at every turn

931
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: or Stevie want to can see one of those two

932
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,479
Speaker 1: things is more believable. Yeah, see who taught Stevie wondered

933
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: how to fight? Who's fighting Stevie? One who was like,

934
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat the blind dude ass And somebody said, Hey,

935
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep trying you. I'm gonna have to teach

936
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: you how to put people in the chokehold? Up with that?

937
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: That no, and some people you grew up with, some

938
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: kids that were in his elementary school and be like

939
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: that nigga can see get out of want to love.

940
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: It's the old nigga name oldest you mean that? Listen

941
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: Steverli used to shoot birds from old treats away with

942
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: a bb gun and talking about it. Yeah, he can't

943
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: see all of a sudden, I've seen this motherfucker on TV.

944
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: He wobbling and weaveling and ship man. That make you see? Alright?

945
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: That dance anywhere? That'sass from the first first grade. It

946
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: was in the play, and he was supposed to be

947
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: talking about the U Long. This nigga started weaveling and

948
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: well the customer burning the you long came from the

949
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: north and Anglo sex. I slept from on the back

950
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: his hear because the nigga wouldn't stop working weaving and ship.

951
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see my mama, but he kept blocking

952
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: my vision as big as head. I'm the reason he

953
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: wrote in a vision because I slapped him so hard

954
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: he could see me from behind. All right, hold this,

955
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: you're a real piece of ship doing this story right.

956
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: I want to believe you, But now you made me

957
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: question you're he man. You're behaving poorly here oldis I

958
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,240
Speaker 1: don't I don't know who to listen to at this point.

959
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: Another example of a person, And you brought this up earlier.

960
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: I believe this is what you were referring to. Is

961
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney and thousand Tends. They were at the White

962
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 1: White House performing for the President. A bunch of famous people,

963
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: including for some reason, Jerry Seinfeld was on stage with them.

964
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: But anyway, a bunch of famous people are on stage singing,

965
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: Hey Jude, I believe it is or some Beatles song

966
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney is prancing across stage, as he is known

967
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: to do, and as he does, he knocks over a

968
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 1: microphone that Stevie Wonder catches without really looking over, he

969
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: just kind of like instinctually pulls the microphone back in uh,

970
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: and a bunch of people around Stevie Wonder kind of

971
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: like start to rush to go help, but then are

972
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: amazed at the sort of magic of the moment and

973
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: then kind of look at each other. Did you like,

974
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: did y'all see what the funk he didn't see? Apparently

975
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,720
Speaker 1: it was a very weird moment that I think Stevie

976
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: never intended to be caught on a camera as clearly

977
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: as it is the Devil of Hell's Kitchen. Either this

978
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 1: nig is daredevil mhm, and all of his senses and

979
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: great and that's the other thing he put in niggas

980
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: and choke poles catch a ship by reflex. If there's

981
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: a vigilante in in l a, it's Stevie Wonder superpowers

982
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: or he can see like this. At some point, we

983
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: gotta go all of these coincidences happened or Stevlin Hardaway

984
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 1: Morris is a sighted person who's been sucking us ober

985
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: for fifty plus years because a B turns to an

986
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 1: A when the nigga who got to be couldn't see

987
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: all I'm saying there, there are a few more that

988
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: I want to run through quickly. There's a story that

989
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: Shack told in twenty nineteen that apparently, while walking into

990
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: the room much in the way that he had with

991
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: Boy George, Shack never alerts Stevie Wonder to his presence,

992
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: but Stevie Wonder immediately goes, what's up, Shack, how you doing,

993
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: big dog. Similarly, Lionel Richie we talked about him earlier,

994
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: accuses Stevie Wonder of having full sight. He says that

995
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: he once saw Stevie Wonder steer a car down a

996
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: driveway in reverse. Anthony Anderson claims to have lost a

997
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,959
Speaker 1: free throw contest to Stevie Wonder for a charity. Puff

998
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: Daddy says that Stevie Wonder Wants, in a private conversation,

999
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 1: described an outfit that Puff was wearing previously. And then finally,

1000
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: and this is my personal favorite, there is an actual

1001
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: photo of Stevie Wonder taking a picture of Michael Jackson

1002
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 1: in the Motown Museum where Stevie is is looking through

1003
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: the viewer on the camera and Michael is posting, and

1004
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,439
Speaker 1: we are just meant to believe that that was them

1005
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: being silly billies and not him taking a real picture

1006
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: of Michael Jackson. As a collection of get the funk

1007
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: out of here is in that whole list, but the

1008
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: biggest one to me is him backing out of a driveway,

1009
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: because cars being backed out of a driveway for sighted

1010
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: people is a difficult thing because you're looking in rear

1011
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: view mirrors and cyber mirrors, so everything is reversed behind you.

1012
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: It's not only difficult to see for excited person, but

1013
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 1: your brain has to do the calculus to reverse everything

1014
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: so that you know where you are. And you're telling

1015
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 1: me that the motherfucker who can't see at all can

1016
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: back his car out of the driveway, I'm gonna ask

1017
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: you if you could please get the funk out of

1018
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: here with that. That's that's why. So a few more

1019
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: additional pieces for us to go out on. This is

1020
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: a personal favorite of mine. Stevie Wonder is known for

1021
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: going to a ship ton of basketball games. This motherfucker

1022
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: loves NBA basketball, and specifically he always buys courtside tickets,

1023
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: and more importantly, Stevie Wonder it's also a season ticket

1024
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: holder to the Lakers. So for some reason, this blind

1025
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: man enjoys the squeak of shoes and grown men calling

1026
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: each other bitch asked niggas on a on a court

1027
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: so much that he's willing to spend season ticket Lakers

1028
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: money every year to court side court side. M h yeah,

1029
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: I'll buy that. I would love to spend hundreds of

1030
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to listen to sneakers squeak. Yes, maybe you

1031
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: can see the can just say it? Well, well, will

1032
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: still allow you, nigger, We find we'll see, we still

1033
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: fun with you. So here here, here's what I think

1034
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: would be an important thing for us to go out on.

1035
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: Is that. And you brought this up earlier, and I

1036
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: actually think it. It brought me to a point that

1037
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: I find myself asking as I was reaching through all

1038
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: this research, is maybe the real question is in relation

1039
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: to his blindness, what kind of fucked up world do

1040
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: we live in where a black man felt forced to

1041
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: fake blindness for the sake of gaining success that should

1042
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: have otherwise come to him naturally, That Stevie Wonder is

1043
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: such a gifted me position with site or without it,

1044
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: that maybe we should just have been able to celebrate him.

1045
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: But because of the time period that he lived in

1046
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: and the circumstances from which he came, he felt like,

1047
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: if I don't fake my blindness or at least exaggerated

1048
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: to a point that is far more extreme than what

1049
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm actually experiencing, people are not going to treat me

1050
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: fairly in the way that they should. It's the it's

1051
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: the black people have to work twice as hard to

1052
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: get half as far. Mm hmm. But if you give

1053
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: the black person a handicap, they can work the regular

1054
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: amount of hard because we're giving them, you know what

1055
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean. There's a there's a multiplier on the end

1056
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: of it, right like, Oh, blind Nigga did it. That's

1057
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: times too. That's white privilege, right Like, So Stevie's blindness

1058
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: is his foray into white privilege. It's the the Chapelle

1059
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: and I go to a lot of white parties because

1060
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm wealthy. It's Stevie Wonder. I wouldn't be here if

1061
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't blind. Right. Yes, I'm a fantastic musician, but

1062
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: I was a fantastic musician in the fifties when they

1063
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 1: were stealing from niggs who were fantastic musicians. No one's

1064
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: stealing from a blind person. That's a level of ain't

1065
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: shitness that even white racist Jim Crow's Arrow white folks

1066
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: wasn't doing it. Steal from littapo nigger. Come on, now,

1067
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: he can't see and y'all stealing from him. M hm.

1068
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: We saw had it to the Five heart Beats. They

1069
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: wrote a song. It was five white dudes with fun

1070
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: up haircuts doing that whole routine. Nobody did that to Stevie.

1071
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Nobody stole the Stevie wonder song. Because if you're a

1072
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: white dude and they say, hey, I saw what you

1073
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: did to the Cold Crush Brothers, the Cold Crush Brothers,

1074
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: I told you did to Stevie Wonders, I think it

1075
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:39,439
Speaker 1: stole from a blind though. Yeah, that would have gone

1076
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: down the fall of America. You created a force field

1077
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: that's with that white supremacy cannot penetrate because we at

1078
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: least at this point and we'll get there. But Donald

1079
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: Trump literally made fun of a person uh with a

1080
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: with full like physical ailments, with fervor in front of

1081
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: a crowd that applauded, so like, well, we'll get there.

1082
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: But as it is right now, we cannot just steal

1083
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: from blind people out in the open. And you're saying

1084
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: that Stevie Wonder found that loophole and needed to find

1085
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: that loophole in order to feel safe in his position

1086
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: in society, or Berry Gordy found it. But whoever found

1087
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: it it was, it was probably tactically brilliant. Sure and

1088
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: write all of Lemonade. She she takes credit for it

1089
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: all the same, right, right, absolutely right, it's no Lauren Hill.

1090
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying she she at least paid. I

1091
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. Sorry, Lauren, that was not going

1092
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: to jail. I don't know why you would play that game.

1093
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll be back

1094
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: with more felonious monk and more, my mama told me.

1095
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: And we are back. What are you good? Who says

1096
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm gay? Yeah, we're back here. We're more alonious monk more,

1097
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: my mama told me. We're still talking about the possibility

1098
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: as Stevie Wonder had to fake his blindness for the

1099
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: sake of making everything equal in America. And boy, what

1100
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: a funked up America we live in where a motherfucker

1101
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: has to pretend to be that physically disabled just to

1102
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: be able to uh exist at the level that he deserves.

1103
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: And who's to say what a level that a person deserves? This,

1104
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm getting myself down an ugly train

1105
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: that I probably don't wanna to dig it. Yeah, I

1106
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: don't want to be in this tunnel. It's scary in here.

1107
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,919
Speaker 1: So what we should do instead, Monk, Let's play a game.

1108
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: You're down to play a game, Let's get it. Hell? Yeah,

1109
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: this is a a fun game that I This is

1110
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: a brand new game I built up specifically for this episode.

1111
01:02:55,360 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: It it's called Signed, Sealed Delivered. I'm insane. You take

1112
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: one more picture, I'm gonna break that camp. It's a

1113
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 1: fun game where I am going to introduce to you

1114
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: a number of Stevie Wonder song titles or songs as

1115
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: they were. And if we are to presume that Stevie

1116
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: Wonder is in fact faking his blindness, then we have

1117
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 1: to then assume that Stevie Wonder is in some way

1118
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: a psychopath. And if he is a psychopath, I would

1119
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: love for you to unpack the hidden messages you believe

1120
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: that might live in this song. Like all psychopaths, he

1121
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: probably has left a taste of something behind. Mr Policeman,

1122
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: I gave you all the clues type energy, and so

1123
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: I would love for you to just tell me what

1124
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: you think might be hidden in the messages of these

1125
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: songs and song titles. That makes sense. Hell yeah, So

1126
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: let's let's start cool and easy. Let's let's start with

1127
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: with a Stevie Wonder classic. Let's start with ribbon in

1128
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the sky. What do you think, what do you think

1129
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: a hidden message might be in ribbon in the sky? Well,

1130
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: I think again, very visual language, right, this is an opportunity.

1131
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Love is one of those things that you don't need

1132
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: to make visual references to. Love is a feeling. Love

1133
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: is something that you can experience without any other subtext context.

1134
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: It's just love. It's the feeling in my heart that

1135
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: I get. My heart beats, my skin does this. You

1136
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: don't need sight to say that. So why a ribbon

1137
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: in the sky a place that you need to look

1138
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: up to? You're saying kind of ribbon around an old

1139
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: oak tree, not the ribbon in the lady's hair. There's

1140
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: a ribbon in the sky for our love. I don't

1141
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: even know what the funk that means? If we're being honest,

1142
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: I just know that some of us I can see

1143
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: that's what the song is saying. That whole song ain't

1144
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: about a woman. There's a ribbon in the sky for

1145
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: our love means when I look up, I see something

1146
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: that represents our loves. Because Pitch, I can see that's

1147
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: the song, the song on the call, because bitch I

1148
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: can see that's the part in parentheses that they never

1149
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm sorry he wrote that

1150
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: part and then they were like, hey man, we can't,

1151
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: we can't put that in. He's like, that's that's gone

1152
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But okay, I'm telling you that it's

1153
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: slap if you add that part to it. Though it's

1154
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: to add it's like taking out the ad lives from

1155
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: O J to juice Man. No more, he took that out.

1156
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the song is still good, I guess, but

1157
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: with the a's and the OK way better. Yes, Okay,

1158
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 1: let's do another one. There's a classic song called Ebony

1159
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: and Ivory. Tell me a little bit about what you

1160
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: think might be hidden in the messaging of Ebony and Ivory.

1161
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: Well again, Ebony and Ivory. We talked about earlier. Blackness

1162
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: only exists in contrast to whiteness in this country in particular. Right,

1163
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: but you have to see it, you have to see it. Right,

1164
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: There's there's no there's no whiteness and parenting or blackness

1165
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: and parenting. I know black people sometimes like to pretend that,

1166
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, oh, white people get away whatever, think their

1167
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: kids didn't get spanked, which lets me know that you

1168
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: don't have any white friends, because white kids definitely got

1169
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: their asses with they just write books about it or

1170
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: kill their parents and then we don't do that part.

1171
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just stereotyped on top of a discrediting

1172
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: a sperience. Anyway, The point is, the idea for Stevie

1173
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: was that he wanted to date white women. But because

1174
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: he knew that the times that he lived in didn't

1175
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: allow it, he couldn't pretend. He couldn't say, damn, my

1176
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: son is bad, white chicken. I wanted to holler at it,

1177
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 1: because how did you know she was a white chick?

1178
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: What would have tipped you off that she was a

1179
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: white woman. There's nothing that could tell a blind man

1180
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: that they were talking to a white woman, except that

1181
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: they could see a white woman, and so he wrote

1182
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: this song out of a need to experience whiteness in

1183
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: a way that he wouldn't have to appoloze for because

1184
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: if you're a black person and you have to be

1185
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: introduced to everybody you meet, and that person has to

1186
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: be described to you, you knew before you got to

1187
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,959
Speaker 1: know her, before you were attracted to her, someone would

1188
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: have had to say she's white. Mm hmmm. So you're saying,

1189
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: but if you can see, you can get away with

1190
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, I I just saw and I fell in love, right,

1191
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: So you're saying that Paul McCartney in this case is

1192
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: just a red herring. That is, he's a solusion for

1193
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: a more complicated conversation about who Stevie Wonder really wants

1194
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: to funk but cannot because of the stance. And I

1195
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: also want to point out that because of his proximity

1196
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: to Stevie during Ebony and Ivory, that he knew way

1197
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: back then Stevie could see, and the fact that he

1198
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: came out later and said that Stevie could see after

1199
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: the ship that happened in let's me know that Paul

1200
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: McCartney is a bitch ass nigger and John Lennon was

1201
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 1: right to lead a nigga because you don't fucking snitch

1202
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: on your boy that you go ab the me and

1203
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the nigga lived together in perfect harmony. Is about fucking

1204
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: nobody wanted to say cool by y'all with with no

1205
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: white dude did they went to class with. This was

1206
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: about fucking a white woman. And he couldn't say, I

1207
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: want to funk white women, but I've been blind in

1208
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: black for too long. Can't do that. So he got Steven,

1209
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: got fucking Paul McCartney, white people's favorite. You know what

1210
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,439
Speaker 1: I mean, There's no one beloved more. Maybe he could

1211
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: have got Elton John, but then that would have blurred

1212
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: the lines of sexuality, and I don't think he was

1213
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: ready to do that. You definitely want to funk white women.

1214
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: And he only wanted white women because he saw them

1215
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 1: in contrast to black women, because he can fucking see

1216
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: whoa heavy ship. This is a fun one. Don't you

1217
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: worry about a thing? Don't you worry about a thing?

1218
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: What you what you think is hitten in that message.

1219
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: That's a good one because he this was one way

1220
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: he actually sounded like a singer in the in the

1221
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: normal sense of the word, right Stevie Wonders runs are

1222
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 1: different than everybody else's runs. He just put and he

1223
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 1: puts some in places where they usually don't go, which

1224
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: is one of the parts, one of the genius parts

1225
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: of this song. Right like you you did a run

1226
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of that word that's not even a

1227
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: real syllable, but you made it. But he didn't do

1228
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: that on Don't You Worry About the fact? That song

1229
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: is about him driving a woman home after the club

1230
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: and her panicking because she realized that she got in

1231
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: the call that Stevie wonder was driving and he looked

1232
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: at it, pulled his glasses down, adjusted the mirror and said,

1233
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 1: don't you worry about a thing, and then started driving

1234
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: her home and she and but she signed a nondisclosure

1235
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: so she can't talk about it. Don't you worry about

1236
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: the fact there's a song about Stevie wanted to driving

1237
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 1: a woman at home after the club when he was married,

1238
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: because if you look, a lot of his divorces came

1239
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: from infidelity, which, wow, how hard must it be to

1240
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: cheat on your wife when you can't even see the

1241
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: bitches you want to cheat on your wife? What you're

1242
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: doing a lot? Okay, but the reality is it's not

1243
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: that hard because then they could see and he would

1244
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: tell her he was at the studio. He would go

1245
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: to the club. No one would say anything because what

1246
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Stevie wanted to do. On at the club, he would

1247
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: meet a woman, probably a white woman. During his ebony

1248
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: and ivory period. He gets in the car with its

1249
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: about to drop home. She says, where's your driver? He says,

1250
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: don't you are you about the thing? Don't you worry

1251
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: about it? The Boom podcast? Okay, I want to do

1252
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: one more. And you've You've nailed every single one of

1253
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 1: these so far. I'm I'm sure Stevie feels exposed and

1254
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 1: and scared at the truth bombs that you keep dropping.

1255
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: My email is blowing up right now. His reps are like,

1256
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: we see you, We see you. Stevie can't see you,

1257
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: but we see you. Motherfucker. We gonna get you. I'm

1258
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,560
Speaker 1: emailing him back, nig he see me. Took out there? Okay,

1259
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: last one, I would love for you to tell me

1260
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: what you what hidden message you think is cooked? And

1261
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: knocks me off of my feet, knocks me off of

1262
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: my feet. This was him explaining the scam. Oh knocks

1263
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: me off of my feet. I saw it at the

1264
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: last minute. I couldn't move because then y'all would have known.

1265
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: You saw what happened when I caught the guy damn microphone.

1266
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, everybody like, nign see. So now

1267
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: the punch is coming. I see the punch coming. But

1268
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: I have now conditioned my body not to react to

1269
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: outside stimuli because every time I reflexively moved, people see

1270
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: the reflex so knocks me off of my feet. It's

1271
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: a soul not about love, not about how this woman

1272
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: is so amazing and beautiful and fantastic to feeling. It's

1273
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,600
Speaker 1: literally about him falling down as some ship that he

1274
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: could have stood up to. He's letting us again. He's

1275
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: he's saying, hey, man, y'all can't really knock me off

1276
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: my feet. You can't unless I allow you to. I'm

1277
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 1: allowing you to knock me off my feet. I see

1278
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: the ribbon in the sky, but I have to make

1279
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: it seem like his poetry. We've pretended that this nigger

1280
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: is a poet all these years, when the reality is

1281
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 1: and Nick was just looking around and saying that he

1282
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: sees and we're like, this is amazing because he's blind.

1283
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 1: How could he see it? It's so detail. He sees

1284
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 1: in the detail like I look looks like a white closet.

1285
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: That's a dumbass sentence. But it's like a white closet

1286
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: folded open. Oh ship this blind it is amazing. That's

1287
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: what he did. So knocks me off my feet is

1288
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: literally about him pretending to stumble multiple times throughout the

1289
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: day as part of it is performative blindness. And all

1290
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 1: of this is performative blindness. Knocks me off my feet.

1291
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 1: My favorite song by Stevie Wonder, by the way, it's

1292
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,600
Speaker 1: beautiful song, well written, But the hidden message by this

1293
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: fucking dastardly genius is every day, at a certain point

1294
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: he has to find a reason in a crowded room

1295
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: to fall, to stumble, to bump into something, to have

1296
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 1: something knock him off of his feet so as to

1297
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 1: appear more human. It's it's with Michael K. Williams rescue

1298
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: Piece did with all of these amazingly dark characters. He

1299
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: humanized them. If Stevie Wonder can play all of the instruments,

1300
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: if Stevie Wonder can arrange all of his music, by

1301
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: the time he's twelve years old, if Stevie Wonder can

1302
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 1: sing and tour all over the world, as you said,

1303
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,799
Speaker 1: without drug use that got so many of his peers

1304
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: at that age group. If he could do all these

1305
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: amazing things, have amazing marriages, ever went broke, ain't sunk

1306
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: up his masters. Stevie one of all of these fantastic things.

1307
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: This think it might be a god. Oh no, he

1308
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:09,839
Speaker 1: just bumped into the door. Jam knocks me human against Stevie,

1309
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,679
Speaker 1: Human against Stevie podcasting. That's what he did. Man, it's genius.

1310
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: But every song that he's ever written is a hint.

1311
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 1: And also it's kind of zodiac killer ish and that

1312
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: he's telling us. And on his deathbed he gonna be like, yeah,

1313
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 1: knock me on my feet. You know how funked up

1314
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: I felt just stumbling around in front y'all? Is man,

1315
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,600
Speaker 1: y'all goofast Niggers, I saw, y'all. And that's that's his

1316
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: last song. Is gonna be some ship with Chief Keith.
