Thanks again for putting this topic on the table, 91 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. Thank you. Seem like it's been 92 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: coming up a lot lately, and just the stuff I've 93 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: been looking at and seeing, or maybe it's just the 94 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: way I'm seeing the world lately, but there's just so 95 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: much stuff where it's like this doesn't have to be 96 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: as bad as it is, but a lot of the 97 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: damage is just societal. 98 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, and people picture those women men roles and just 99 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just stupid in my opinion, Like a 100 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 4: lot of the arguments that we see, they constantly come 101 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 4: up to be told because because of insecurities. And when 102 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 4: you say that, everybody, I think insecurity is always a 103 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 4: bad thing. In Secuity ain't always a bad thing. It's 104 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: security is knowing yourself, you know, so you know yourself 105 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 4: and so you know these certain topics make you feel 106 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: a certain way, which is fine. But it's one of 107 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 4: those things where for some people, every time it comes up, 108 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 4: they rehash that insecurity and put it out in time, 109 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 4: like like the shit is brand new. No, you know, 110 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 4: it ain't new to none of us, and whatever it is, 111 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 4: most of us has felt it in some way, shape, 112 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 4: form or fashion, particularly if you're straight. 113 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: When it comes from hurting pain from opposite sex. 114 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: Tyl W fourty two says how Rod and Karen it 115 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: was so funny when Rod mentioned the Manna's ice cream. 116 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: I made the exact same sound as Karen, pure revulsion, nasty. 117 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: I purchased the Book of the Month as soon as 118 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: it was introduced, and after I lost the chat chatroom giveaway. 119 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: But come on, nine nonsense, it's doable. I knew it 120 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: would be ratchet, but I wasn't prepared for how ratchet. 121 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: But I am committed. I think I'm at least twenty 122 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: five percent in. I have to see how this ends. 123 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: Looking forward to the booklut over show we still reading 124 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: through it. Also. I recently went to a very special 125 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: comedy show and panel discussion and titled Sisters of Comedy 126 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: at the Schomberg Center in New York City. Since the 127 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: comedy is a series, a Gunda a Gunda Oko has 128 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: curated to feature women of color in comedy shows, primarily 129 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: at Caroline's Comedy Club in New York City. But this 130 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: night was so special. What got me there was my 131 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: girl Yamanika, who is just completely amazing. But let me 132 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: talk about the venue first. The Shamberg is located in Harlem, 133 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: and it's part of the New York Public Library group 134 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: of libraries. But they always have exhibits there. You can 135 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: visit at any time, similar to museums at many events. 136 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: This was the first time I went there. I ad 137 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: met I felt a little weird at first, as I 138 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: was the only white person I could see, only because 139 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: I have pretty much never experienced that in my life. Yeah, 140 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: welcome to a club, buddy. That's how it is, man. 141 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: You just show up and you're like, I think I'm 142 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: the only black person in here. Hope not on the menu, 143 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, right. I admit that there was a point 144 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: during Karen's retelling of her Wonderful Jamaica vacation where she 145 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: said something like, and I'm paraphrasing if I get it wrong, 146 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: please correct me. It was so good not that have 147 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: to deal with white people for a week. I was 148 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: a little but hurt immediately, but within minutes I realized 149 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: what you meant. You don't have to code switch, you 150 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about Becky getting mad and call 151 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: it now one one just to start, I really wish 152 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: I was exaggerating, but this is America. Yeah, man, I 153 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: mean look like I can't even really apologize for it 154 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: because I don't feel sorry about it. But we get 155 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: so few chances as black people to be in situations 156 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: where we're just free to be ourselves.

So yeah, I completely understand, you know, 198 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: that feeling that you know Karen was talking about on 199 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: the Jamaica trip. 200 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's also one of the things where, like 201 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: I said, when it comes to white women individually, it's 202 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 4: a whole thing. 203 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: That's a collective. It's another group. 204 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 4: And for most black women, you ran into the fifty 205 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: three percent more than you ran into the regular ass 206 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: white woman that's trying to mind her fucking business. It's actually, 207 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 4: you know, fighting for your rights and care and love everybody. 208 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 4: Those people exist, and we know they exist, but not 209 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 4: a nine point nine percent of white women you run 210 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 4: into think they're that, but they're not. 211 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: Because the second you say something to a fendim is 212 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: oh my god, or how dare you? 213 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 4: And you're like, I don't want to deal with that 214 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 4: A lot of time just looking at you without knowing you. 215 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: We don't know, and because I know, we have to adjust. 216 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: They're not black. It is what it is. It's not 217 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: even a matter. See. The thing is, we always end 218 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: up having to explain this shit. But like white people 219 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: absolutely know what we're talking about. Because that's the entire 220 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: reason of Republican Party exists. You know, It's the entire 221 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: reason that people vote for Trump. It's the entire reason, 222 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: not all like that, it's the reason that white people 223 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: can feel comfortable saying shit like just because you vote 224 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: for Trump doesn't make you a racist, come on, But 225 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: they feel comfortable saying that because you side with racism 226 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: while not feeling like you're actively promoting racism. Like I 227 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: don't have a plan, bro, I don't call anybody nigger. 228 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: I don't support you know, violence towards anyone. You know, 229 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: that's what you say. But then at the same time, 230 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: you're over there because you feel comfortable, you don't have 231 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: to do too much code which and you have to 232 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: worry about who's listening, you know, you know, like there's 233 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: a like whiteness has been doing that in America forever, 234 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, like it is what it is, and maleness 235 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: it's the reason men say shit like locker room talk, 236 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: and locker room talk is a bunch of like rape 237 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: culture shit, you know, because there's no women in that room. 238 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: The problem is when you are the majority, or you 239 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: have the majority of power, or you have like privilege, 240 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: when you group up, it's different, it is, and it's 241 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: never it's never good for everybody. When people of privilege 242 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: have unchecked spaces where they can congregate, it always ends 243 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: up badly for everybody outside that space, because that's what 244 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: privilege does. It's like, how do we insulate each other, 245 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: how do we convince each other? We're right at high 246 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: five and say everything is you know, and it's the 247 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: constant struggle, you know.

When she was pregnant, her supervisor 845 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 4: was like, well, yeah, Adrianne, she's giving her baby. They 846 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 4: was like, when she comes back, they was like, give 847 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 4: her some time to readjust to the working environment. And 848 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 4: she was like, I didn't believe it, she said, but 849 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 4: when I came back. She said, I just couldn't remember 850 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 4: certain things, and it took me a while for my memory. 851 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 2: And I've heard this from several different women. 852 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: I believe you. I just hadn't heard it. Like I said, 853 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 1: these are just things that I hadn't heard. 854 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 4: Of, right me either, til I started talking to women. 855 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 4: A lot of women said they began to be foggy. 856 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 4: And a lot of times, a lot of women think, 857 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 4: you know, they go to the doctor think, oh my god, 858 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 4: I can't remember anything, you know. 859 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 2: Or the simplest things. It's hard for me to comprehend. 860 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 4: But your body went through something traumatic and you literally 861 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 4: are pouring everything out, so it takes your body time 862 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,439 Speaker 4: to read adjust.

But for some reason and a just 886 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 4: because of patriarchy, people look at strength as being able 887 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 4: to lift and pick up some ship.

That 1450 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,840 Speaker 1: was like, they the one I'm watching now. They start 1451 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,280 Speaker 1: off the show kind of talking about street harassment. It's 1452 01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:03,439 Speaker 1: kind of from uh, this one's perspective of walking down 1453 01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,920 Speaker 1: the street and dealing with street harassment and shit. There's 1454 01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:07,719 Speaker 1: a video game she plays and you have to shoot 1455 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,080 Speaker 1: down out the street harassers. And then there's a scene 1456 01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:15,800 Speaker 1: after that where black men are complimenting other black men 1457 01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 1: who appear to be like six head black men walking 1458 01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,040 Speaker 1: down the street, and you know, at first you almost 1459 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,680 Speaker 1: feel like it's that homophobic thing, and it's not. It's 1460 01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:28,280 Speaker 1: using the homophobia innately in somebody to make them uncomfortable 1461 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:30,599 Speaker 1: to be like, well, if men started talking about look 1462 01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 1: at your jeans, how would you feel? And it's one 1463 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,760 Speaker 1: of the few ways to make straight men be like, oh, yeah, 1464 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:39,519 Speaker 1: I guess that is fucked up. Very very rarely will 1465 01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,920 Speaker 1: it happen, but anyway, it starts off where you think 1466 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:44,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like that, and then the twist is 1467 01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:49,560 Speaker 1: like they actually are complimenting each other. They're accepting the compliments. 1468 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:54,080 Speaker 1: They're not. It's not even in some like and now 1469 01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:57,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna be gay or we're boyfriend girlfriend, I mean 1470 01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:01,519 Speaker 1: boyfriend boyfriend or anything like that.

Then they had this thing on 1489 01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:07,160 Speaker 1: there called Last Week was about sexuality as black people 1490 01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:11,000 Speaker 1: and what it like. They had like a show about 1491 01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:14,840 Speaker 1: like a little mini show set up about about it. 1492 01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 1: It was so dope. It was about police violence in 1493 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 1: the first episode, and it could be a little quote 1494 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:25,120 Speaker 1: unquote triggerish for people who you know, don't want to 1495 01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: see any level of like police brutality or something like that. 1496 01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:32,960 Speaker 1: But then like they use that imagery a little bit 1497 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,640 Speaker 1: and then it culminates in this the guy who's like 1498 01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 1: the main character of the show is having an interaction 1499 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,560 Speaker 1: with the police and you're and he's filming it with 1500 01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,479 Speaker 1: his phone, and it's getting to be kind of you know, 1501 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,839 Speaker 1: a lot of animosity is starting to build up intension 1502 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 1: is building up, and then like it ends with him 1503 01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:53,760 Speaker 1: flying off, like and he's still having the phone, so 1504 01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,120 Speaker 1: you're seeing it from the phone perspective, but like he 1505 01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,839 Speaker 1: literally leaves the ground and flies out like fucking Superman, 1506 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:03,040 Speaker 1: like what I just watch, Like like it's I don't know, 1507 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,680 Speaker 1: it's like I'm recommending it, but I don't know the 1508 01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 1: best way to recommend it. But I really fucking liked it. 1509 01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:12,400 Speaker 1: And I think even the one they did that that 1510 01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 1: I'm watching today, they had a whole thing about transfemininity 1511 01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,920 Speaker 1: and so like it's like it's a black show that 1512 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:26,080 Speaker 1: isn't running away from the intersectionality of blackness. It's not 1513 01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 1: running and it's not trying to do like the the 1514 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:36,160 Speaker 1: my cheese mode the performance performative like toxic masculinity shit 1515 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 1: of blackness. It is and it's but it's also not 1516 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:41,960 Speaker 1: very preachy, so like it's just it's just an experience. Man. 1517 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 1: I really can't recommend it highly enough.

Some inspirational ass niggas. Thank you, I've been 1521 01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,040 Speaker 1: meaning to upgrade to the Premium, and after hearing this 1522 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:01,600 Speaker 1: episode of The Lips Back and Good, I need to 1523 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,439 Speaker 1: get on that immediately. I love everything about this segment. 1524 01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,599 Speaker 1: A few years ago, me and my boyfriend talked about 1525 01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,479 Speaker 1: doing a food blog, mainly because we're both greedy, but 1526 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,920 Speaker 1: also because we both love to cook. We're from DC, 1527 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,080 Speaker 1: so we're gonna call it the Metro Munches. All like 1528 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,720 Speaker 1: that Metro Munch. It sounds cool. It was gonna be 1529 01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,040 Speaker 1: all about us going from place to place, eating and 1530 01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 1: drinking and documenting, but also recreating things that we enjoyed. 1531 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 1: Y'all got me thinking we need to revisit the idea 1532 01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 1: when our lives sled down, settled down some more. Yeah, man, 1533 01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:33,960 Speaker 1: do it do that shit? Okay? Also about the salad 1534 01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 1: recall because of the E Coli scare, I heard from 1535 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,920 Speaker 1: activists who support farmer workers rights that a lot of 1536 01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,760 Speaker 1: these outbreaks are because of the harbor working conditions and 1537 01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,640 Speaker 1: lack of bathroom facilities. A lot of farmers use the 1538 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,680 Speaker 1: bathroom in the fields. E Coli is a bacteria that 1539 01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,599 Speaker 1: is found in the intestine, a track of humans and animals, 1540 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,320 Speaker 1: so this checks out. How hopefully Mickey D's can work 1541 01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:59,920 Speaker 1: with some farms that treat their workers more ethically and respectfully. Damn, 1542 01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 1: I didn't here and I heard that. I love the 1543 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,479 Speaker 1: conversation with the soul Foods scholar. I want him to 1544 01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,839 Speaker 1: put the barbecue oath on the tree. I would definitely 1545 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,400 Speaker 1: wear that. Another great guest would be Michael Twitty at 1546 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,599 Speaker 1: Coach or Saul on Twitter Yo. I have reached out 1547 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:17,680 Speaker 1: to him in the past and tried to see if 1548 01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:19,600 Speaker 1: we can get him to come on the show, but 1549 01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,640 Speaker 1: I have not got a response to him yet, but 1550 01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,760 Speaker 1: reach out. Yeah, you know this, like what it's weird 1551 01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 1: with food stuff. It's actually more difficult to get the 1552 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 1: food people as interviews and stuff because, for one, a 1553 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,919 Speaker 1: lot of them don't necessarily come from the podcasting background, 1554 01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,040 Speaker 1: so you have to worry about sound quality stuff like that. Two, 1555 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,280 Speaker 1: a lot of them don't know if we're like a 1556 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,760 Speaker 1: big deal quote unquote you know, and then three and 1557 01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,080 Speaker 1: if you're not the Food Network, they go, who are you? 1558 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:49,720 Speaker 5: Right? 1559 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 1: And then three they can kind of be notoriously unreliable. 1560 01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,640 Speaker 1: And I'll just leave it at that. And that's not 1561 01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:59,800 Speaker 1: shaved to Michael. She's a very I'm sure busy man 1562 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:04,760 Speaker 1: this point. But there's just been people that, i mean, 1563 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,760 Speaker 1: some of your faves that we thought, oh, this would 1564 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:09,599 Speaker 1: be a great opportunity for them to spread the word 1565 01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:11,920 Speaker 1: about what they do. It'd be a great opportunity for 1566 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,000 Speaker 1: our show to link up with somebody's phage. I'll get 1567 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,360 Speaker 1: to hear them on the record, give an interview, and 1568 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:22,120 Speaker 1: the brush off like sometimes last minute, sometimes no notice. 1569 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,360 Speaker 1: We set aside whole weekends and shit, and then just nothing, 1570 01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:29,200 Speaker 1: no response. And so you know, one of the things 1571 01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 1: you have to get used to is to know because 1572 01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 1: that's a soft no and it's kind of unprofessional disrespectful sometimes, 1573 01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 1: but you get used to people not replying and shit 1574 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,880 Speaker 1: and not realizing like this might be the thing that 1575 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:43,400 Speaker 1: gets you to more ears, and people start following you 1576 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,639 Speaker 1: on Twitter and start hey, I heard you there, which 1577 01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:47,280 Speaker 1: is one of the reasons we love when you guys 1578 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:49,400 Speaker 1: go on social media and you tag these people and 1579 01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,479 Speaker 1: you're like, yo, I heard your interview, I heard this. 1580 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,559 Speaker 1: Appreciate you coming on the show, just you know you're 1581 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,559 Speaker 1: you were very funny and I'm gonna check you out 1582 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,400 Speaker 1: or whatever.

I'm two and 1788 01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:03,280 Speaker 1: who they don't believe I'm stepping in your honor. The 1789 01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,720 Speaker 1: only way to show your true power is to help 1790 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:10,040 Speaker 1: me out and nobody else, because I'm the most important 1791 01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:14,479 Speaker 1: person in his YMCA. And God answered my prayers. And 1792 01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:19,960 Speaker 1: after he said, you will win some games. All you 1793 01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:21,560 Speaker 1: gotta do is get back on the court, and I 1794 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:24,760 Speaker 1: said I would do that, and I went and took 1795 01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,280 Speaker 1: that knowledge to pass it on the Justin and it 1796 01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:29,840 Speaker 1: was very disheartened at the time and ready to go home, 1797 01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,800 Speaker 1: feeling that he's lowest. And that's when I said this 1798 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,000 Speaker 1: to him, you can't leave. 1799 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,400 Speaker 7: You gotta play one more game. I know we just 1800 01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:41,920 Speaker 7: took a loss, but when Jesus took a loss, what 1801 01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:45,160 Speaker 7: did he do? He took three days off and. 1802 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 1: He came out the cave and it came back.

Did I give up? Nope. 1807 01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:05,400 Speaker 7: I got back on that field and I took a 1808 01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,439 Speaker 7: left step in my euro step that was for the 1809 01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:11,720 Speaker 7: Holy Ghost. I took a right step in my euro 1810 01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,759 Speaker 7: step that was for Jesus. And I took a foward 1811 01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:19,599 Speaker 7: step in my euro step and that was for James Hardy. 1812 01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:22,320 Speaker 7: Then I took two steps to the back for the 1813 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:24,599 Speaker 7: fate away because those were also for change. 1814 01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:24,880 Speaker 3: Art. 1815 01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:29,800 Speaker 1: Come on, Justine, don't give up.
