Speaker 1: the back. Well, well we'll talk about what we're doing,

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: uh for our war on Thanksgiving, because that's one of

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: the things where that's trending. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My family

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: is planning on just having turkeys pack us and that's

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: the only way we're acknowledging the hall like some weird

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: things like you're restrained and unleasha gaggle of turkeys. What's

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of turkeys called? It is no clus I

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: know you know you were who reflective with this. Uh So,

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: the war on Thanksgiving trending because in the Fox News narrative,

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump won the war on Christmas because now we

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: all say Merry Christmas. We used to not say that,

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: but now we did. Uh, And now there's a war

20
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving because there was an op ed in the

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Huffington Post that said, not an article, just an article

22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: being like, and we don't want to start a war

23
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving or something great, very clear. It was just

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: about we talked about on the show. It was that

25
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: article that was just about the carbon footprint of Thanksgiving

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: and meant at the very end, so clear up top,

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: top and tail. We're both look, I'm not here to

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: smear the holiday. It's just interesting information given the arrow

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: room because climate change, just to put something in your mind.

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh now liberals want to take away Thanksgiving. Great. Yeah,

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: and it was weird. So then then it got more

32
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: I guess momentum because out another rally, Trump just decided

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: to say that there's like, as we gather together for Thanksgiving,

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, some people want to change their name Thanksgiving.

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Well he was doing some trump jazz, some some stand

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: up comedy at the Turkey part. Yeah, exactly. There two

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: and they don't want to use the term Thanksgiving. Yeah,

38
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: and that was true also with Christmas, but uh, everybody's

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: using Christmas. Again. I have never a single person who

40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: has said, don't say the word Thanksgiving or Christmas or Christmas. Yeah,

41
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: like the only time I know it is from people

42
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: just being like, we're trying to be as agnostic as possible,

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: so we say happy holidays. Yeah, and it's always company HR. Yeah,

44
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's an it's an HR, the corporate take

45
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: to avoid a lot of discrimination lawsuit. Yeah, what's next,

46
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: We're all gonna have to dress up as ladies. That's

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: my uh, that's my fear. Yeah. Personally, well, you might

48
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: want to embrace that fear. It might be powerful, it

49
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: might empower I think I would look good. Actually, um,

50
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: not a wording to those those ladies pumps you have on.

51
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: Look great on your feet. Thank you, just saved from

52
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: the shin down, But just the front part you're like

53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: back and half a mess. Yeah, it's like kind of

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: a leg mullet. Um. Uh. Let's talk about democratic odds.

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: Heading into this is the last. It's the last you're

56
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: going to hear of our voice for a couple of days.

57
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: So like day for one day, we're taking off Thanksgiving

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: to give thanks to the almighty dollar, the almighty that's right.

59
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: But I found this interesting. Okay, I'll come out and

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: say it. I found it interesting. What did you find interesting?

61
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: Uh So, Nate Silver tweeted out, like what the odds

62
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: are or what the where things are pulling right now?

63
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: His take is that Biden is tier one. Then you've

64
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: got Warren, Sanders, Budda Judge tier two, and it's unclear

65
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: to him where like what order that second tier should

66
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: be in, and then Harris and Bloomberg and Klobuchar tier

67
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: three and Yang And he did not say, yeah, he

68
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: didn't put Yang in there because he's part of the

69
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: mainstream median. Wait, but he's but in this breakdown in

70
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: this national poll, the oh got it, that's you looking

71
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: at the national poll. He didn't even know how got it.

72
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: He didn't even give Yang the benefit of the doubt.

73
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: But he So the way the polling breaks down, Biden's

74
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: at twenty six nationally, Warrens at sixteen point nine nationally,

75
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Sanders sixteen point five. Then Buddha Judge nine point six.

76
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: So I would just look at that and be like,

77
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: Warren and Sanders are a little bit about Buddha Judge

78
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: for his for his tiering system. Then you have Buddha

79
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Judge at twenty three point nine in Iowa. Uh Sanders eighteen,

80
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: Biden seventeen Um, so I don't know. It's Sanders is

81
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: winning in New Hampshire, Uh, and in second in Nevada

82
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: and South Carolina and California. So right, I don't know

83
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: the second place at you anything, Um, first loser, first loser, Uncle,

84
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 1: you just say almost in hand ger Nades. But according

85
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: to Vegas, which is also fun to kind of keep

86
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: an eye on, Um, they're the people who really know. Yeah,

87
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: Biden is well because Vegas people are actually putting their

88
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: money where their mouth are are. In Vegas, Boudage has

89
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: been surging or not even surging, just steadily creeping up. Uh.

90
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: He's now in second. According to Vegas odds, Joe Biden

91
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: is in first plus two seventy five, Buddha plus three,

92
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren plus three fifty, Bernie Sanders plus five fifty,

93
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: Bloomberg plus nine hundred. So that means if you bet

94
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: a hundred a hundred dollars, you win this amount of money.

95
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: I I think I'm just gonna put my money on

96
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: Tom Styer. Then that's the best biggest return for me. Yeah,

97
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: Actually the biggest is Julian Castro. Castro, Yeah, you would

98
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: for if you've had a hundred dollars you would win

99
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: a hundred And how are where are they? How are

100
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: they creating these odds? I mean it's just betting markets,

101
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: So they're just taking pace on whoever is putting their

102
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: money on. Yeah, they set an odd and then they'll

103
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: like move it up and down based on like where

104
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: the public money is going. Um, but it looks like

105
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: the public don't know ship right, I mean I don't know.

106
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean more in the sense of like really yeah,

107
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean Biden, I get because most people at this

108
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: point are the election is too far out for them

109
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: to even like most people don't care about debates or

110
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: primaries and things like that. They're like, oh yeah, cool

111
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: and Biden. Yeah, but all right, yeah, so that's interesting.

112
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: I think it's probably smart to assume that Vegas and

113
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: the public money is overestimating whatever the hot like the

114
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: fastest mover is almost like almost like the Apple podcast charts,

115
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: where like the new guy gets a little bit of attention,

116
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: oh yeah, where sometimes it's just excitement. So like Warren

117
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: became the clear number one back in November, when like

118
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, it didn't necessarily make that much sense that

119
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 1: she would be like hands and head and shoulders above

120
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: everybody else and Sanders, I feel like is the other

121
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: side of that because he's been between plus seven plus

122
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: four fifty like all along, but like that's he's just

123
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: kind of been there. He's just like hanging out. Well yeah,

124
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean he has a huge supporter base that is very,

125
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: very active, enthusiastic, but he's like boring because he was

126
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: in the last election or something or I don't know.

127
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's weird. I feel like his

128
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: image is starting to change a little bit more versus

129
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: the last election. I think because everyone sort of was like, look,

130
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: it's Hillary's time, let's just like please go away. Bernie

131
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: Sanders like, let's all about to the dynasty, uh rock

132
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: lif Familia. So I think it's changing a little bit

133
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: because I think more and more people I think when

134
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: you look at sort of how diverse that supporter basis

135
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: to uh there's he got love too. As Connie says, uh,

136
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: the irishman is trending. I was hoping it was because

137
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: of me. Are you fully Irish? Well, you know, Jack O'Brien,

138
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: you don't get much more Irish. The name doesn't twenty

139
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: three and me and then find out your Asian and

140
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: like it opened my eyes? What is my identity? I

141
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: would love that, but I believe I am nineties something. Really,

142
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm up there. Yeah maybe like in between sixty and ninety.

143
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: I I haven't done twenty three. Man, you probably shouldn't anyway. Yeah,

144
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: I'll give him your DNA. But The Irishman is the

145
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: Scorsese movie that is dropping on Netflix. I believe this weekend, uh,

146
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: and people are wondering if it's going to funk up

147
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: the weekend box office because like Knives Out is coming out,

148
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: the new Ryan Johnson movie. Oh I think I'm everyone

149
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: is loving that from what I've read, Yeah, that's getting

150
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: great reviews. So but I guess they're wondering if people

151
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: will just stay home because there's so much good streaming stuff,

152
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: which this will be a good test for the overall there.

Speaker 1: is trending. Yeah, what what's going on with She's no

191
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: longer going to be on America's Got Talent? Um didn't

192
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: know she was on it. I didn't either. Don't watch

193
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot of TV like that, like Network TV UM.

194
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: And apparently there's been there were a few incidents that

195
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: she was bringing up while she was working on the

196
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: showed that NBC. I mean, you know, they have a

197
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: great track record of hearing their employees when they raised

198
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: concerns and then immediately addressing Fox News light you mean yeah,

199
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: uh yeah, or maybe just just the same thing. Um.

200
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: So Jay Leno, who who's had that take this year?

201
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: Boomer taken like, yeah, everything's too politically correct that yeah.

202
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: Uh apparently when he when they were filming the fourteenth

203
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: season of America's Got Talent, there was an instant season

204
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: where they were passing a picture around of Simon Cowell

205
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: and his dogs, and then Leno said that his dogs

206
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: could quote beyond the menu at a Korean restaurant. What yeah, dude,

207
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: like that old fucking dumb ass. I don't even that

208
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: is the most dumb fucking take people, dogs, get the

209
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: fuck up out my face with this dumb ship. It's

210
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: it's just fucking ignorant racist and again uh uh yeah.

211
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: Reel Union was like this is fucking not good, Like

212
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: is whack as fuck um and they said that. Gabrielle

213
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: went to producers and said, can you take this to

214
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: like hr because you're not. This is not a good

215
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: environment when you have people that you don't necessarily have

216
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: to be Asian to be offended by that, but when

217
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: someone is so casually doing like Tom dumb tired, ass

218
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: ignorant takes. I'm sure nbc hrs take was what he

219
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: didn't say it in front of any Koreans. Yeah, pretty much.

220
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: That's sort of their attitude because um when that apparently, uh,

221
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: there's a joint statement from the from NBC and the

222
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: production company that said, America's got talent. This is a quote.

223
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: America's Got talent has a long history of inclusivity and diversity,

224
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: and both our talent and the acts championed by the show,

225
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: the judging and the host lineup has been regularly refreshed

226
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: over the years, and that is one of the reasons

227
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: for a g t S and during popularity. NBC and

228
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: the producers take any issues on set seriously, unless it's

229
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: a white person doing racist ship, in which case we

230
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: fire the person of color who brings it to our

231
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: attempt who was being a day a rabble rouser. Also

232
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: something with blackface. Yes, there was another incident where Gabrielle

233
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Union and other people who worked on the show were like,

234
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: there's a dude, who's who's act Who's gonna about to

235
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: perform for us? Like in this the recorded TV version, Uh,

236
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: like the act involved all kinds of costumes, switches and

237
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: doing a bunch of character bits, and one of them

238
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: was Beyonce, in which this man would change the color

239
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: of his skin. So uh, Gabrielle Union asked the producers like, yo,

240
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: just cut this dude from the lineup, like you know

241
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: what he's about to do, Like just fucking what the

242
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: funk is the point? Um? And they're like, we'll take

243
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: it out later. Was the was the line they get

244
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: fix it in post essentially, But she was like no, no no, no,

245
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: you like, I don't even want to subject the live audience,

246
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: the people in this studio from having to see this

247
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: dumb shit. Um. And again they're like, no, we're gonna

248
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: let it cook and we'll just cut it later. And

249
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: that's what they did once again. NBC just crushing it.

250
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: And I think I do wonder at this point is

251
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: it consciously doing the we're going to bridge the gap

252
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: to Fox News thing? I don't know. I think this

253
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: is just what happens. This is just a mindset that's

254
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: prevalent across all the boardrooms of these companies. Like they're

255
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: not diverse, They're all of a certain generation. There's just

256
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: no like they're like what's the problem We've been It's

257
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: been wildly successful up to this point. Now I'm doing

258
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: something wrong. This is out of control. Yeah, your sensitivity.

259
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: And then finally, just to put the cherry on top

260
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: and this Variety article, they were also saying that Gabrielle

261
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Union was like had to deal with all kinds of

262
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: racist BS criticisms because of her hairstyle because they were

263
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: quote too black for the viewing audience. What the what

264
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: does that even mean? Like, oh, how dare this woman not? Uh,

265
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, I have expressed her internalized white supremacy by

266
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: doing more straight hair styles or whatever she wants to

267
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: do her hair. Then she wants that's her prerogative, and

268
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: that's what's really again. And this has been like a

269
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: thing that's been talked about in like certain Simon Cowell

270
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: shows like that there's just like this culture, like toxic

271
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: racist culture on these shows. Um. And one person I

272
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: think in this article is saying that, like when cal

273
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: is talking about quote switching up the judging lineup, it's

274
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: usually only applies to women and people of color. So yeah,

275
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: when you look at that, that does seem to be

276
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: how he how he does. But you know what Gabrielle Union,

277
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: keep doing your thing, but it's funny. Julian Huff, who

278
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: is also um there for the j Leno incident and

279
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: was also let go at the same time as Gabrielle Union,

280
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: she was like, I had a wonderful time, and you know,

281
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: I can't. This is the part that's serving and I'm

282
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: happy to continue my working relationship with NBC. She has

283
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: two Christmas specials coming up, Don't Bite the hand that feeds. See,

284
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: this is where you need to be Like when you're

285
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: an ally, got to be an ally, you gotta put

286
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: the bag at risk sometimes. And I not that it

287
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: would put it at I mean, I guess it would

288
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: if you look at the very tip for tat nature

289
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: of show business and how retaliatory things can be. But

290
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: that's that's really when you need to have somebody's back

291
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: and you can. You don't have to say, oh shame

292
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: on NBC, this motherfucker needs to go. You could also

293
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: say out and like contradict, yeah, don't be like you know.

294
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: You can also say you know, I did. I did

295
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: also witness these things, uh, and they were I found

296
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: them to be offensive. I'm sure. NBC specifically asked her

297
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: to do that, right, Like, I'm sure she didn't. Just

298
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: I think it's just like it's that unwritten language of

299
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: show business to where you it's the same reason why

300
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: people like like they're like predatory producers exist. You know,

301
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: there's like an ebb and flow of power and energy,

302
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: and you won't to always be on the right side

303
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,960
