Speaker 1: I would like to submit to you that the understanding
Speaker 1: of fuck around and find out that you possibly have
Speaker 1: been exposed to a great clip, you know, going around
Speaker 1: of like a a scale, like a ratio of like
Speaker 1: the level of which you fuck around is like the
Speaker 1: level of which you find out. I would like to
Speaker 1: submit to you that that's a little deceiving, like like
Speaker 1: pem doas you know, please excuse my dear aunt Sally.
Speaker 1: It's a little it's a little deceiving. It helps, but
Speaker 1: it's not telling the whole picture. I don't believe and
Speaker 1: as much as I understand it, and I think I
Speaker 1: could speak for the folks for which originated the phrase,
Speaker 1: it's not so much a graph as it is a cliff.
Speaker 1: It's a through traffic merge left type sign. It's freeway
Speaker 1: ending one hundred feet. It's not a through seat. It
Speaker 1: is a road sign to say that you are going
Speaker 1: to run out of road, you are going to fall
Speaker 1: because the find out phase it's a hard stop.
Speaker 2: It's not so much that.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, yeah, you know, I'm gonna you know, if
Speaker 1: you kind of mess around a little bit, like because
Speaker 1: if you mess around a little bit, you're probably not
Speaker 1: gonna find out at all. I'm not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give you this warning. Hey, hey, fucking around.
Speaker 1: Find out you keep playing around. It's more like a
Speaker 1: key playing you know. So you you should merge You
Speaker 1: on this freeway, you on this road, merge left. The
Speaker 1: lane you're in is ending, and it's gonna end abruptly.
Speaker 1: Now when I say abruptly, I'm saying picture that through traffic.
Speaker 1: Merge left signe not and then the lane not being
Speaker 1: a diagonal, but just a straight ninety degree stop. The
Speaker 1: road stops, that lane stops, and you fall off this bridge.
Speaker 1: It's the bridge is outside like stop driving, because once
Speaker 1: you into the find out you're already in full dissent.
Speaker 1: Gravity has already taken over. You have fallen off the cliff.
Speaker 1: You can't kind of fall off a cliff. You understand
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. You can almost fall off
Speaker 1: a cliff, right, You could come real close to falling
Speaker 1: off a cliff, but you don't kind of fall either
Speaker 1: you fail or you didn't. So don't don't let the
Speaker 1: like the graph kind of fool you to think that
Speaker 1: there's some sort of gradient, there's some sort of scale.
Speaker 2: It's a cliff.
Speaker 1: You hit the edge of the road into the line
Speaker 1: and you win't find out you're in it, and and
Speaker 1: they take it.
Speaker 2: Off on you. You are falling off the cliff.
Speaker 1: The road signed before that said fuck around and find
Speaker 1: out that was a thousand feet behind you. So you okay, okay,
Speaker 1: keep playing. That's another way to say the same thing.
Speaker 1: All right, keep playing, keeps you stop playing with me,
Speaker 1: like I'm What I'm trying to tell you is you
Speaker 1: you enter the zone and once you're in, there's you're in.
Speaker 1: You get one hundred percent of the find out that
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's either zero find out or a
Speaker 1: hundred find out. I'm trying to complete your understanding of this.
Speaker 1: When you find out you didn't ease into.
Speaker 2: It, it's a cliff. It's a cliff.
Speaker 1: I would like to submit to us earthlings, hairless mammals,
Speaker 1: overgrown primates with egos, y'all. That find out sign is
Speaker 1: well behind us. Hood politics, y'all politics, y'all, hood politics, y'all.
Speaker 1: The block is literally hot. Remember we talked about climate
Speaker 1: change and you know, the owning of water and municipalities
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, like California running out of water,
Speaker 1: I'm saying that as I'm sitting under thunder and lightning
Speaker 1: rain here and Cali, which is what we mean by
Speaker 1: I mean the climate is just Earth is like, look,
Speaker 1: I'm about done with y'all. Like I don't know if
Speaker 1: y'all been looking around for the past few years, but
Speaker 1: Earth she done had it?
Speaker 2: Listen, Earth is like, keep playing with me.
Speaker 1: And honestly, guys, according to this uh this report, I mean,
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 2: We are well.
Speaker 1: Within the find out zone, y'all, and the and them
Speaker 1: licks them hits is only gonna get harder.
Speaker 2: That's that's just where we are right now. Now.
Speaker 1: Y'all play Fortnite. I heard you answer me. Right now,
Speaker 1: y'all play fortnite or you did play fortnite?
Speaker 2: Whatever it is.
Speaker 1: My uh my kids they be having me watch them
Speaker 1: play Fortnite because I'm a good father, you know, and
Speaker 1: uh I play with them here and there. But I'm
Speaker 1: must admit, just the gaming thing just didn't do it
Speaker 1: for me. Even even the like NBA Lives and you know,
Speaker 1: two K's and all that, like even the Sports one
Speaker 1: FIFA like Madden, I just never got into it.
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna hold you, you know.
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because part of my masculinity feel like
Speaker 1: I can't really say that that's stupid, but part of
Speaker 1: my whole masculinity make me feel like I can't even
Speaker 1: say that I'm not really I'm not really good at
Speaker 1: those games. But anyway, y'all really gotta let go of.
Speaker 2: This masculine stuff.
Speaker 1: Talk shit because I'm like, what, I can't play FIFA,
Speaker 1: I don't play Madden.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I watched them play Fortnite, and you know, when
Speaker 1: the storm comes, like you get dropped off. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to do what you gotta do, and then the storm's coming,
Speaker 1: and then the storm is just.
Speaker 2: Moving at its own steady pace.
Speaker 1: And you like, I'm mean, it's coming like you hopefully
Speaker 1: you can wipe everybody out before. But the storm on
Speaker 1: the way. No, no, it's not only on the way,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's here. It just ain't hit you yet. Now,
Speaker 1: as you know, once you get into the storm, yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll live for a little bit, but it's killing you,
Speaker 1: like I mean, and it's sped up.
Speaker 2: You're killing now.
Speaker 1: You was probably gonna die anyway, unless you really that
Speaker 1: good at Fortnite, you know what I'm saying. You was
Speaker 1: probably gonna die, you know. But even if you the
Speaker 1: last one, you turn yourself into an endling out there's mug,
Speaker 1: which is the name of my next book. But don't
Speaker 1: tell nobody you might turn yourself into an endling or anything.
Speaker 1: But the point is, the storm is closing in on you.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: In the game. You can't stop it. You just gotta
Speaker 1: try to avoid it. But but yeah, yeah, you may,
Speaker 1: you may. You may be able to step into the
Speaker 1: the to the storm here and there for a little bit.
Speaker 1: But the but the island you own, it is forever
Speaker 1: changed because of that.
Speaker 2: Not.
Speaker 1: The beauty of a video game is you can just
Speaker 1: start over. Ain't no big deal, you know. And if
Speaker 1: you die seventy fifth or if you die, if you
Speaker 1: make it to the end.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 1: You just gonna start over because it's a video game.
Speaker 1: But if this island was Earth and that storm was
Speaker 1: climate change, nigga, I'm not listen. I need y'all to
Speaker 1: know right now, you're not avoiding the storm. We're already
Speaker 1: in it. It's y'all not paying attention. Climate has changed, then,
Speaker 1: like we already it's already We're already in y'all. We're
Speaker 1: in find out like we're already. I don't understand what
Speaker 1: you don't understand. We're in mid air if like I said,
Speaker 1: if bunk around find out is a cliff, y'all understand
Speaker 1: we in zero grab you we are, We are falling already.
Speaker 1: I am talking about the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
Speaker 1: the IPCC. They finally released a report for the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three climate and let me tell you what they're saying.
Speaker 1: They saying, y'all, we are well within the find out.
Speaker 1: Listen that the headlines are driving me crazy. They was
Speaker 1: like the world is on the brink of catistrophic warming,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, please, baby, baby, please, Like they said,
Speaker 1: we like dangerous threshold. Like I don't think y'all get it, y'all.
Speaker 1: It is so old bad, it's I cannot do you
Speaker 1: know that last year? Did you know that last year
Speaker 1: they were climate scientists that went on strike and protested
Speaker 1: in front of our government, like y'all, and it just
Speaker 1: ain't make no news because we just kind of like, listen,
Speaker 1: let me give y'all another example. When I when I
Speaker 1: talk to my my teenage daughter and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: tell her to do something or that she should she
Speaker 1: should make a move and she know I'm right.
Speaker 2: While I'm talking, she goes, yeah yah yah yah yah yah.
Speaker 1: Obviously I'm black, so I be wanting to slap the
Speaker 1: taste out of her mouth, but I don't because I'm healed.
Speaker 1: But she goes, yeah yah, yeah, yeah yeah. That's my
Speaker 1: cue to know that she knows I'm right.
Speaker 2: And I just feel like I feel like I I
Speaker 2: like these people were saying, listen, I know that y'all know.
Speaker 1: Where I'm alowiya right now underwater nigga, Like like, listen,
Speaker 1: do y'all, there's an atmospheric river. It's a river in
Speaker 1: the sky for I love. I'm just kidding, yo, Listen,
Speaker 1: it's a river in the sky in California, and we
Speaker 1: still ain't made up the water we lost, Like are y'all,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you these people trying to tell
Speaker 1: us like nigga, help me, help me, help me, me
Speaker 1: me me nigga.
Speaker 2: Oh man.
Speaker 1: Now, So today I want to get into a few
Speaker 1: of them specifics, but I also want to get into
Speaker 1: like maybe an understanding that's to like why fools be
Speaker 1: like not trying.
Speaker 2: To hear you already.
Speaker 1: Here we go. So look I'm excluding the climate denier. Okay.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I don't think there's anybody
Speaker 1: really with any good sense that's actually worth listening to
Speaker 1: that is not have not accepted that the climate has
Speaker 1: changed and is continually changing. Now to what degree and
Speaker 1: to what cause? You know, that's something in a world
Speaker 1: that they're they're arguing. You know, you have the Jordan
Speaker 1: Peterson of it all, that's like, well, the model doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense because you're saying the climate is everything.
Speaker 2: So if the climate is everything, then the climate's nothing.
Speaker 1: And to Joe Rogan's defense, and to his credit, he
Speaker 1: was like, so are you saying we do nothing because
Speaker 1: you don't understand the models? Right, which was like everybody
Speaker 1: beyond Joe Rogan. But I'm like, Joe, actually, I mean
Speaker 1: he puts back there. He was like, I see what
Speaker 1: you're saying that. It's like you're saying it's everything, So
Speaker 1: then what do we do? Well, how do you set models?
Speaker 1: And how do I know the models work? And he's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so do nothing and Jordan hand no answer.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So, but that's not the people I'm talking about right now,
Speaker 1: I would say it's more the rest of us who
Speaker 1: are not delusional, right, who can like literally step outside
Speaker 1: and I mean, hell, there was a tornado a Manapello
Speaker 1: as in East Los Angeles, a tornado in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: I mean, like who already knows the amount of like
Speaker 1: hurricanes and natural disasters this year already is more than
Speaker 1: entire like years combined. Like we none that we understand
Speaker 1: that floodings are crazier. We understand that wildfires are crazier
Speaker 1: and they're getting more crazy and they're more frequent, you know,
Speaker 1: so you're not I mean, duh, you feel me? Hell
Speaker 1: there was remember there was no uh, there was no
Speaker 1: snow crab. Remember that last year? It's literally ain't no crabs.
Speaker 1: They didn't come. Why because the water was too hot,
Speaker 1: so they was like you can't catch like so you
Speaker 1: can't really miss that, right.
Speaker 2: But I think the.
Speaker 1: Where America sits, I like to describe it as like
Speaker 1: the reality is the you know, we drove off the cliff,
Speaker 1: like I said, But I think America is really more
Speaker 1: looking at this, and I think in some ways most
Speaker 1: of the world is looking at it like they check
Speaker 1: engine light, like you know it's there, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I know there's a problem, but I don't
Speaker 1: understand engines. The car seems to still run fine, and
Speaker 1: the problems that we have, I guess I could live with.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's look, if I can't drive it, then
Speaker 1: I'll take it in now. Granted, obviously, that is the
Speaker 1: worst possible way to treat your car. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like the whole itema like it's kind of
Speaker 1: a running joke among like food's gone wild and like
Speaker 1: the trollies they got like an Ultimo with like bald
Speaker 1: tires and the check engine Like you know what I'm saying, Poppy,
Speaker 1: I'm in Wittier, go see me anyway, I'm being stupid.
Speaker 1: But you know, most people's solution today check engine light
Speaker 1: is to go ahead and just unhooked the battery and
Speaker 1: then rehook the battery and then the check engine light's gone.
Speaker 1: You know it's because or it's like I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and adjust right up under my my steering
Speaker 1: wheel adjusted and moved the wheel up so now I
Speaker 1: can't see the light and that there is no problem.
Speaker 2: Right, we just.
Speaker 1: Wait till somebody else comes and fix it, or just
Speaker 1: sell the car and get a new one. The problem
Speaker 1: with treating Earth like that is, I don't know why
Speaker 1: you think it's cheaper in the same way as a card.
Speaker 1: Why you think it's cheaper to get a new card
Speaker 1: than it just take care of the one you got.
Speaker 1: How is that just so you could destroy the other one,
Speaker 1: the new one? Like it's why you think it's smarter
Speaker 1: to go to Mars, Nigga. Mars don't got an atmosphere,
Speaker 1: at least not a breathable one. You think, Oh, so
Speaker 1: it's cheaper and easier to be interplanetary than it is
Speaker 1: to just fix the check engine light, especially when all
Speaker 1: the mechanics in the.
Speaker 2: World is going No.
Speaker 1: Fam Listen, I tell you exactly what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: It's real simple, y'all. Remember y'all may be too young
Speaker 1: for this, but y'all remember the Ozone layer. Y'all remember
Speaker 1: when we had to fix the o's on big old
Speaker 1: hole and the o's. You understand that, like we it's
Speaker 1: not like we can world problems are solvable. There are
Speaker 1: things you can do, you know, Like there's some stuff
Speaker 1: that it's like, yeah, that ship is sailed, homie, but
Speaker 1: then there's other stuff that, like dog, we could do.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You just gotta do this, this, this, this, and this.
Speaker 1: Can't be taking y'all ultimate off road no more. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not made for that. Can't keep putting that cheap
Speaker 1: gas in your car. You can't keep driving it till
Speaker 1: you when you see the oil light, Come on, you
Speaker 1: need an oil change. I don't understand why you think
Speaker 1: it's okay to just treat your like it's just gonna
Speaker 1: show up one day, Like, come on, Fam, you slamming
Speaker 1: on your brakes every time you get to the like
Speaker 1: you speed it slamming or yeah, yeah, your brake's gonna
Speaker 1: go out like it just small pieces of maintenance can
Speaker 1: make this thing last as long as it possibly can,
Speaker 1: but you can't. But we can't treat the climate like that, Fam,
Speaker 1: because again, it costs a lot to go to Mars.
Speaker 1: I bet you it be much cheaper to just get
Speaker 1: on you know, electronic cars than it would build a spaceship, nigga,
Speaker 1: Like and I know, a shiny new car is a
Speaker 1: much cooler than taking care of the one you got.
Speaker 1: You feel me just like a shiny new significant other,
Speaker 1: just like a shiny new man, you know, a shiny
Speaker 1: new side piece, shiny new girl is much better than
Speaker 1: going to therapy.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Listen, couples therapy be hard. You know what I'm saying. Listen,
Speaker 1: I am in a traditional marriage, nigga, and the shit
Speaker 1: is hard because you feel me Like, look I get it,
Speaker 1: you don't. I don't even care if you're talking about polyamory.
Speaker 1: Look that get hard too, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Might be better to just bounce out rather than deal
Speaker 1: with your issues. Gonna just roll out and get you
Speaker 1: a new one.
Speaker 2: Better you out here?
Speaker 1: Like, I don't understand why I just be attracting all
Speaker 1: these toxic people. Man, I do so toxic. Man, that
Speaker 1: girl so toxic. Man, she crazy, and you get a
Speaker 1: new girl dogs she crazy? Didn't get a new girl
Speaker 1: after that? Like dogs she crazy? Like all three of them,
Speaker 1: all three of them crazy, Homie. You show you not
Speaker 1: just bringing what's the X factor? Maybe it's some stuff
Speaker 1: you not dealing with. So no matter who you with, fam,
Speaker 1: you gonna bring the same toxicity to the new spot.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what y'all gonna You try to destroy
Speaker 1: Mars to cuz you try to build it just to
Speaker 1: destroy it. Oh, you just want to sign a new planet. Huh, okay,
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: For a second. Then listen, listen. Let me keep it
Speaker 2: real with you.
Speaker 1: When the lights when the lights go off, Look, it's
Speaker 1: all listen, it's all the same. It's all the same
Speaker 1: when the lights go off. Nigg you better love the
Speaker 1: one you with be out here like Delle Curry. It's
Speaker 1: not better listen, it's not okay out here. You don't
Speaker 1: want to be out here, homie.
Speaker 2: Take care of what you got.
Speaker 1: But I think I'm dosing that as an extended metaphor
Speaker 1: of like, sometimes the I think what we see is
Speaker 1: the problem just feels too b and like I'd rather
Speaker 1: just ignore it because I mean, what the hell I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do? And you're like, uh, if you're in California,
Speaker 1: you know you got all the recycled stuff, especially on
Speaker 1: the West Coast, you got all these recycled things. Only
Speaker 1: to know that the plastic you're throwing into your recycle
Speaker 1: being ain't really being recycled. It's like, well, nigga, what
Speaker 1: maybe y'all should stop making the plastic.
Speaker 2: Like maybe it's that. I think.
Speaker 1: Also a hurdle people are finding with a climate change
Speaker 1: is really the language, I think, because we don't use
Speaker 1: celsius or meters, And it's just hard to get your
Speaker 1: brain around when somebody says, look, if the ocean gets
Speaker 1: one point five degrees hotter, you're like, nigga one like,
Speaker 1: it's just hard to get your head around that that, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why that's such a problem. And then
Speaker 1: your p are you trying to tell me that means
Speaker 1: we gonna lose the red tailed owl?
Speaker 2: Nigga? What the fuck I care about a red tail?
Speaker 1: I like, there's so you're not communicating the urgency in
Speaker 1: a way that at least somebody, like like a regular
Speaker 1: ass person understands. I also think one of the problems
Speaker 1: is the same problem that caused Nazi Germany to happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: follow me, Like, I'm look, I'm gonna be real with y'all.
Speaker 1: You know how a lot of this stuff was able
Speaker 1: to go down. Now, I don't be look, don't be
Speaker 1: yelling at these at these Germans, at these civilian Germans
Speaker 1: in the forties watching all this shit happen, because I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure you would do the same if you looking
Speaker 1: out the window you see the police come rage on
Speaker 1: neighbor's house and they snatching people out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gonna think it sucks. That's terrible. It's horrible
Speaker 2: what they're doing to these people. But they not coming
Speaker 2: to your door.
Speaker 1: As long as your door is fine, you gonna look
Speaker 1: through the window like God, that's just it's terrible. It
Speaker 1: might bother, you might might throw up a little hashtag,
Speaker 1: throw up a little protest, but you.
Speaker 2: Ain't going over there. You're not going over there.
Speaker 1: I'm saying a lot of that's that is because it's like,
Speaker 1: that's too disruptive, and you like what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: That's another problem with it. You like what I'm gonna do, Like,
Speaker 1: what difference do I make? Now I've done. I've try
Speaker 1: to do my best. But then again, I'm a homeowner.
Speaker 1: There's things I can't do. Like I got the solar panels,
Speaker 1: you feel me. I look, I got a hybrid car. Now, look,
Speaker 1: I'm a hypocrite because we have two cars.
Speaker 2: We need two cars.
Speaker 1: I mean, I got two kids, so maybe I don't. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't buy paper towels. I went and bought a
Speaker 1: big old box of these like cheap square like white
Speaker 1: cloth towels.
Speaker 2: Right, I just got a gang of them. My grandma
Speaker 2: used to do rags.
Speaker 1: She would take old clothes shredded up and make rags,
Speaker 1: and that's how she would wash everything. And you just
Speaker 1: throw the rags in the wash when you wash your clothes.
Speaker 1: Now it feel a little daunting because I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: So to get these little white rags clean, I gotta
Speaker 1: wash them in hot water, use detergent with a single
Speaker 1: use plastic bind that the dettion came out of. You
Speaker 1: feel me run the energy from a dryer, right, and
Speaker 1: check this out. The solar panels that I got. You
Speaker 1: think I don't know. The precious metals that was used
Speaker 1: to make them things was harvested in Africa in some
Speaker 1: sort of mind where people are working on straight up
Speaker 1: slave labor. It feel too big. It's like, nigga, what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do? Like that's that's.
Speaker 2: Where a lot of the problems in US.
Speaker 1: And I think the last problem with us really getting
Speaker 1: our brain around how bad we finna find out is
Speaker 1: there are more pressing issues, at least in our brain.
Speaker 1: They feel more pressing now, of course, nothing more pressing
Speaker 1: than the planet. My nigga, Like, who care about who
Speaker 1: the president is? If Washington DC underwater, you look, we
Speaker 1: ain't gonna have to worry about Florida in a while,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like it ain't gonna be one.
Speaker 1: So but I understand as a person of color, I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, white, he's on the moon. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: supposed to be excited about all these innovations and these
Speaker 1: tech things that you say, Go, I was supposed to be.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be worried about what you what
Speaker 1: y'all worried about. It's because y'all got time to think
Speaker 1: about that. I'm still dying in the streets, my nigga,
Speaker 1: Like we still ain't got equal rights.
Speaker 2: We still living food deserts out this mug.
Speaker 1: And even when you talking about environmental justice and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, I'm saying, yeah, I know for a fact,
Speaker 1: y'all really wasn't mad when they built that landfill in
Speaker 1: the hood. You know landfills, you know, power plants, waste dumps,
Speaker 1: all that. Y'all rich folks don't want those in your neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: You put them in our neighborhoods. So I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know if you really you really about that.
Speaker 1: We're the ones breathing toxic fumes. So I'm like nigga,
Speaker 1: even even your climate work is racist cuz you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, so in our.
Speaker 2: Mind we like doc. That's just so, it's like, there's
Speaker 2: so much to deal.
Speaker 1: With before I start worrying about spotted owls.
Speaker 2: Is the feeling.
Speaker 1: And on top of all that, the people y'all spokesperson,
Speaker 1: what is this? What is this white girl dreadlock for
Speaker 1: truly smelling facade? Burning man head ass lady. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, throwing spaghetti at a painting talking about
Speaker 1: I'm talking about environmental justice. It's just like weird though,
Speaker 1: Like that can't be that, can't be your spokesperson. I
Speaker 1: just don't relate to that. You know, it's just so
Speaker 1: much ego. You know, you just have to release your ego.
Speaker 1: And you know, like bro, you smell like orange pits
Speaker 1: and knag chamba. I just ain't got nothing. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be one of y'all. Now it is again, this
Speaker 1: is just me being a translator. So like, notwithstanding all
Speaker 1: the bad actors, all these different reasons that you know,
Speaker 1: things get lost in translation, lost in communication, and really
Speaker 1: don't appreciate the severity this situation.
Speaker 2: Think about it like this. Let me just throw this
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 1: If you are India, if you are China too, where
Speaker 1: like y'all got next as far as a global superpower,
Speaker 1: and now you're telling everybody we need to stop doing
Speaker 1: all these carbon emissions.
Speaker 2: We got to start hearing it for the planet. If
Speaker 2: you them, you like, wait, hold.
Speaker 1: Up, you wasn't bringing that energy when y'all, when y'all
Speaker 1: all got filthy, unimaginably rich, destroying the earth. You done
Speaker 1: got all this money, and not only that, using us
Speaker 1: fam to go into these minds to get all this
Speaker 1: stuff out. You was using eye labor on eye, soil,
Speaker 1: got stupid rich, been running the world and now you
Speaker 1: ow top. You really on top because you've been raping
Speaker 1: our land, destroying the damn planet. Now you like, actually, guys,
Speaker 1: we can't be doing this no more. Everybody got stopped.
Speaker 1: They're like, hold, hold, hold, we didn't make the problem.
Speaker 1: Y'all caused the problem, and y'all got rich off it.
Speaker 1: And part of y'all got getting rich was holding us down.
Speaker 1: This sounded like a you problem, my nigga.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to.
Speaker 1: Get in on good on this lick too. Y'all got
Speaker 1: wealthy off this now. Hold up, y'all got wealthy off this,
Speaker 1: off this earth destroying stuff.
Speaker 2: Hold up. We've been struggling this whole time.
Speaker 1: Even the fumes that you created, we dying over here
Speaker 1: because of y'all's problems.
Speaker 2: Y'alln scortched the earth.
Speaker 1: Now you're trying to tell us we can't we can't
Speaker 1: get up now, we can't get up now because oh yeah,
Speaker 1: don't do it this way though, because like you know what, man,
Speaker 1: fuck y'all.
Speaker 2: I'm burning all the fossil fuels.
Speaker 1: I won't tell I'm up, like y'all, and then let
Speaker 1: me decide, give me a chance to rule the earth
Speaker 1: for a little bit.
Speaker 2: I need to make some of that money, need some
Speaker 2: of that good all money too.
Speaker 1: You can't just be pulling up, spinning the block, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, serving these bricks out here and
Speaker 1: just destroy the hood. And all of a sudden, now
Speaker 1: it's our turn to get up, and you're like, nah, guys,
Speaker 1: this is we're pumping poison in our community.
Speaker 2: Man, we can't. You know, you really shouldn't sell drugs?
Speaker 1: Are you not the one to tell me that and
Speaker 1: I mean I feel them. It's like it's gonna help
Speaker 1: us all. It's like NIGGI okay, So Indian them is
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, I don't care about y'all.
Speaker 2: Twenty thirty.
Speaker 1: We need a chance to make some of that good bread.
Speaker 1: We ain't no superpower. Part of why we not a
Speaker 1: superpower is because of.
Speaker 2: You, nigger.
Speaker 1: You know, y'all fall back. You caused the problem. You know,
Speaker 1: y'all know I'm in the coffee industry. Also promo code hood.
Speaker 1: Make sure you getting your cold brew dead serious. It
Speaker 1: worked fifteen percent off terraformcoldbrew dot com promo code.
Speaker 2: Hood at checkout.
Speaker 1: But look, I was at this thing called the Color
Speaker 1: of Coffee Collective where it's like it's black and brown
Speaker 1: and indigenous people that are in the coffee industry. And
Speaker 1: they had a panel from the farmers from origin you know,
Speaker 1: so these is you know, African, Central and South American farmers,
Speaker 1: and somebody asked them a question about climate change and
Speaker 1: how they're like kind of adjusting to it and maybe
Speaker 1: trying to do better, do better practices, and they were like,
Speaker 1: we didn't destroy the earth. We are origin, we're developing
Speaker 1: third world countries. What you looking at us to solve
Speaker 1: this problem. For y'all, we didn't make the problem.
Speaker 2: You did.
Speaker 1: No, what are you doing to help us with climate issues?
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah tooche man, But I tell you
Speaker 1: what h speaking of environmental justice, speaking of the fact
Speaker 1: that it's our habitats, it's our neighborhoods, it's our money,
Speaker 1: it's our ancestors, it's our families that are being worse destroyed.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should pay attention. Maybe we should talk a
Speaker 1: little bit more about this. Maybe we really are in
Speaker 1: the find out phase. At least that's what this, uh,
Speaker 1: this report says. Now, let's talk about the report.
Speaker 2: Maybe we should pay attentions. Maybe we really are in
Speaker 2: to find out that are out?
Speaker 1: All right, So we're back the report. Like I said before,
Speaker 1: it's the IPCC, It's the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Speaker 1: Climate Change, right, And that means that this isn't a
Speaker 1: partisan This ain't one country nigga. This is like where
Speaker 1: we live on the planet and everybody I gotta do
Speaker 1: they park right, And what they're basically saying is that like,
Speaker 1: not only are we likely we were gonna miss our
Speaker 1: target of limiting warming to one point five degrees celsius,
Speaker 1: which is two point seven degrees sparreaheight.
Speaker 2: Above pre industrial temperatures.
Speaker 1: Within the decade beyond that threshold, scientists have find that
Speaker 1: climate disasters will become so extreme that people will not
Speaker 1: be able to adapt. Basic components of Earth's system will
Speaker 1: be fundamentally irrevocably altered. Heat waves, famines, infectious diseases will
Speaker 1: claim millions of additional lives by centuries in. So this
Speaker 1: is what they're saying, Before the Industrial Revolution, right, there's
Speaker 1: a part of you that's like, there's nothing we could do,
Speaker 1: like you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Speaker 1: Of the Industrial Revolution happened, right, But at that time,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, what did we know we was
Speaker 1: throwing I mean, niggas was burning everything.
Speaker 2: You feel me like, we just had no idea what
Speaker 2: it was doing.
Speaker 1: Right, So once we figured out what we were doing,
Speaker 1: we was like, yo, whoa, theair slow down.
Speaker 2: We're we're suffocating all of us, right.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I grew up in a time
Speaker 1: when California small, Like when I tell you, the air
Speaker 1: was beige, like it was always And this is another again,
Speaker 1: another proof that like you can do something. The air
Speaker 1: was beige here, Like we would get these like small warnings.
Speaker 1: There would be times that like you can't play outside
Speaker 1: at school because like you can't breathe the air is
Speaker 1: not breathe the bull.
Speaker 2: What I care about a bully? Both of us weezing.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you would see it, you know, when
Speaker 1: you landed into La you'd see this blanket of orange
Speaker 1: over the CEA. That's not there no more because we
Speaker 1: made some changes. But anyway, you can't put the genie
Speaker 1: back in the bottle. So they were saying, let's as
Speaker 1: long as we don't go above two point seven degrees,
Speaker 1: if we could keep it, and then we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to make changes for that to happen. And there's some
Speaker 1: changes that they suggested. These are all the stuff that
Speaker 1: like all your capitalists a Republican and a lot of
Speaker 1: them Dems who really trying to make that money while
Speaker 1: they're trying to stop all them limitations. They say, it's
Speaker 1: too cheap to it's too expensive to run you just
Speaker 1: in the EPA, we're stopping us from making money. It's
Speaker 1: like all them things that are supposed to be evil
Speaker 1: stopping you from making money. You know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is more like breevable AIRFAM. But anyway, they're saying they're
Speaker 1: trying to keep it below that, because if you go
Speaker 1: above that, then you're off the cliff.
Speaker 2: We're in. Found that we're in.
Speaker 1: Find out, okay, And like I said, it's hard for
Speaker 1: us to get our brain around what going above that
Speaker 1: will be, right, And I think it's like, I think
Speaker 1: it's connecting those dots.
Speaker 2: One of those dots. I think it was helped is like.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if we say ocean levels are rising, you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, whatever, why is it rising.
Speaker 2: It's rising because the ice caps are melting.
Speaker 1: Okay, so the polar bears don't have anywhere to be Like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't think you understanding the role that the ice
Speaker 1: in the ocean plays with our weather and with the
Speaker 1: places that we call land. There's already cities gone that
Speaker 1: are under the ocean, like American cities that are under
Speaker 1: the ocean. I'm not talking Pompeii, Ancient Rome, Alexandria, Egypt, Fam.
Speaker 1: I'm talking America. The entire chunks of New Orleans that's
Speaker 1: already gone. Right, So that land is sinking. They're saying,
Speaker 1: by twenty one hundred, that's gone, Miami gone, Nigga, Houston gone,
Speaker 1: most of Atlantic City, Jersey gone. Like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: tell you most of most of South Carolina underwater. Twenty
Speaker 1: one hundred nigga gone. And I know twenty one hundred
Speaker 1: seemed like a long way away, but so does the nineties.
Speaker 1: You see how fast it come to you? Y'all understand,
Speaker 1: doctor dres the chronic came out in ninety two. Do
Speaker 1: you know how much long ago that was? You see
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like the time moving faster than you think, right,
Speaker 1: And if we don't do anything, then the speed for
Speaker 1: which twenty one hundred come in is gonna come much faster.
Speaker 1: So when I tell you cities are gone, cities are
Speaker 1: under like you're not listening to me, Like I want
Speaker 1: you to picture, you know, yo, old Like I said,
Speaker 1: I want you to picture old POMPEII Alexander are in Like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, they discovered there's a city off this coast. No, nigga,
Speaker 1: that's where y' that's your grandma house. Like it's not
Speaker 1: ancient history, it's literally you visited there last year.
Speaker 2: It's gone.
Speaker 1: So there's that that I'm telling you, Like I don't
Speaker 1: think we understand because we ain't never experienced this. Like
Speaker 1: we know what a forest fire is, but I don't
Speaker 1: think we understand a forest fire.
Speaker 2: We can't put out when we.
Speaker 1: Say that the water, when the sea level rises, then
Speaker 1: that means it's gonna jump into our fresh water, bringing
Speaker 1: algae inside of our fresh water. Algree that's already mutated
Speaker 1: because it shouldn't have been in water that hot anyway,
Speaker 1: which means there gonna be Our sources of fresh water
Speaker 1: is gonna diminish even more than it already has.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I told you I live in this atmospheric river right now,
Speaker 1: but we still don't have enough water. And if that water,
Speaker 1: if that rain is coming from contaminated do y'all understand
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you the types of famine.
Speaker 1: I don't like famine seemed like an ancient word, But
Speaker 1: I don't think you understand. Like y'all was complaining about
Speaker 1: eggsb everybody's playing about eggs.
Speaker 2: Cost of eggs. They like, what if there are no eggs?
Speaker 1: Do you know that right now there is twenty harvests
Speaker 1: left of coffee. Our top soil can handle twenty. We
Speaker 1: got twenty more years of coffee. I like, I don't
Speaker 1: know how else to make this, to make this real
Speaker 1: for you? You want me to tap into your racism. Do
Speaker 1: you know what a climate refugee is? You know what
Speaker 1: a forced migration is? You already mad at immigration, immigration
Speaker 1: happening now? But what if okay, well talk to me,
Speaker 1: Talk to me when Honduras is so full of toxic
Speaker 1: diseases that they got to go somewhere because you can't
Speaker 1: live in Honduras no more. You are already mad about
Speaker 1: you already had about people coming into our where they
Speaker 1: gonna go. Look, let's not make it weird like that
Speaker 1: when Miami's done, because it's I don't think y'all understand
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 2: There will be no Miami.
Speaker 3: It like.
Speaker 2: Where they gonna go. You complaining about your house prices.
Speaker 1: They're gonna come to California with our extreme droughts, with
Speaker 1: our extreme wildfires. They can't be here, Nigga, like the
Speaker 1: city on fire and it got an atmospheric river. Make
Speaker 1: it make sense. I don't know, it's a different planet.
Speaker 1: We've broke it, Joe. What do you want me to say?
Speaker 1: We about to discover new diseases?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 2: Because they've been in the polar they've been in ice.
Speaker 1: Caps, bacteria been in there frozen.
Speaker 2: I'm just I don't, I don't know what.
Speaker 1: When you okay, I'm a pescatarian, it means I, you know,
Speaker 1: I like, I'm kind of done on the land animals.
Speaker 1: Like I again, I understand how hard it is to
Speaker 1: draw to connect the dots with these things. But if
Speaker 1: you're saying, if you're saying the water is too acidic
Speaker 1: and hot for krill to be there right, then that
Speaker 1: means that the fish that eat that krill right won't
Speaker 1: have no food in their food chain, and the water
Speaker 1: is too acidic for them to grow bones in the
Speaker 1: first place. I'd like, what is these mutant fish from
Speaker 1: the Simpsons with three eyes? Like, Okay, that's one way
Speaker 1: to look at it. The other way to look at
Speaker 1: it is sterile like if they can't like it, like
Speaker 1: there's plants gone, Like it's just the earth will not
Speaker 1: life as we know it. We done found out. It's
Speaker 1: just it's done. But there are things we can do,
Speaker 1: is what they're trying to say. There's some stuff you
Speaker 1: ain't gonna like I said, the Industrial Revolution happened. It's
Speaker 1: stuff you ain't gona it's stuff you're not gonna stop.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna link in the show notes, the report, and
Speaker 1: mad articles on this because it's important that you able
Speaker 1: to connect these dots right Because listen again, poor communities,
Speaker 1: black folks, brown folks. You think these you think these
Speaker 1: risk folks gonna let you in their neighborhoods. You think
Speaker 1: you're gonna they think they're gonna let you move up
Speaker 1: to the hills. We don't live in the hills, they do.
Speaker 1: You think when the water get rationed that they gonna
Speaker 1: stop having lawns. You think they gonna You think they're
Speaker 1: gonna remove their grass. You think theyre gonna stop watering
Speaker 1: their grass. You think they're gonna drain their pools. Or
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna do what they doing now, which
Speaker 1: is lobby to keep they life lifestyle going no matter
Speaker 1: how hot it is. Come up with some sort of
Speaker 1: big old umbrella over their neighborhood, umbrella over Beverly Hills
Speaker 1: to stop it from the UV raids. They got the
Speaker 1: money for it and gonna make sure the law don't change.
Speaker 2: They make it. It's too much money to be made.
Speaker 1: I want you to read this stuff to see the
Speaker 1: things that can be done that really aren't that hard
Speaker 1: to do right now. And look, look, let me keep
Speaker 1: it real. Democrats ain't no help. Well at least Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: ain't you know? He capping all that about the Green
Speaker 1: New Deal and then just like approved the Willow Oil
Speaker 1: project up in up in Alaska, Okay, eight billion dollar project.
Speaker 1: It would give us about six hundred and twenty nine
Speaker 1: million barrels of oil and would produce about two hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty seven million metric tons of CO two into
Speaker 1: the atmosphere on the.
Speaker 2: Same week that the experts said.
Speaker 1: Nigga, y'all gotta stop. Y'all gotta stop shooting the CO
Speaker 1: two in the air. Like I don't know, did y'all
Speaker 1: see the last hurricane?
Speaker 2: Zuh?
Speaker 1: These are not normal, but they're about to become normal.
Speaker 1: And these are gonna be. And these normal ones, your
Speaker 1: category fives are finna be fours because we gonna need
Speaker 1: a new number for five.
Speaker 2: Like I just I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Because of the extreme droughts in cal because it's so dry,
Speaker 1: when the stuff catches on fire, you just can't put
Speaker 1: it out. Imagine a forest fire you can't put out
Speaker 1: like it's just it's not enough water. This man was like,
Speaker 1: that's right, we need to stop carving emissions and.
Speaker 2: Gonna get that well over there, nigga, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, twenty nine billion. It's a gang of money
Speaker 2: cut you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Hey, but look, look I care about the earth though,
Speaker 1: niggas is not. Listen, listen, those are the types of
Speaker 1: things we talk about. You're gonna spend a billion dollars
Speaker 1: on some shit you know, is kill us.
Speaker 2: I mean, what else we're gonna do? Well, there's a
Speaker 2: lot else we can do.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you gonna spend eight billion dollars anyway,
Speaker 1: won't you invest in stuff that ain't gonna burn the
Speaker 1: planet up? Like those things are super easy. There are
Speaker 1: things we could do as consumers. Because here's the thing,
Speaker 1: money talk, right, But I understand it's hard to like
Speaker 1: I understand in this. It's like, Okay, if you all
Speaker 1: of a sudden realize that you might have diabetes, or
Speaker 1: you gotta start cooking with like coconut or everything don't
Speaker 1: taste the same. It's like it's like, well this is
Speaker 1: all I Sometimes you like, I'd rather just die early
Speaker 1: and enjoy the food I eat than having to make
Speaker 1: all these changes. I understand it's too big. And I
Speaker 1: don't run the government. You already told me my recycling
Speaker 1: don't do nothing, you feel me. So it's like, well, shit, man,
Speaker 1: like maybe y'all should stop producing the shit, like keep
Speaker 1: it a buck. You think that, Like coal miners really
Speaker 1: give a fuck about coal itself. They black lung head ass. No,
Speaker 1: they want work, nigga, that's it. I just want to work.
Speaker 1: They're not out here caping for climate change denial. They
Speaker 1: niggas just want to work. That's really at the.
Speaker 2: End of the day. I mean, on the other hand,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, people gonna die.
Speaker 3: We do this.
Speaker 1: So listen, you can look at this report. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's you can download it. It is very much the
Speaker 1: entire scientific community yelling we are well within the find
Speaker 1: out phase block.
Speaker 2: Literally hot, y'all. Hood politics.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know why I ain't thought of
Speaker 1: this before, but you know you could use promo code
