Welcome to another phenomenal episode of 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.200 My Mama Tone Me, the podcast where we dive deep 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.959 deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories and we 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.920 finally work to prove that Teddy Riley is in fact 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.240 how to check by the Zoom Corporation being the fair. 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:19.520 Entire platform is based on his nine three hit Rump Shaker. 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.880 M There it is.

There's 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.760 no way they came up with Zoom on their own. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.160 You think a bunch of nerds, a bunch of computer nerds, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.600 you to call it zoom. They were watching rump Shaker, 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.480 Yeah they were. They were sitting in there their ship 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.560 offices because they didn't have good offices. By that they 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.680 were they were in a we work and are They 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.560 were in a we work at Queen's And you know what, 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.240 I'm not even gonna give them credit. They weren't watching 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.079 rump Shaker. They were in that we work in Queens 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.680 And then whoever was running that we work played rump Shaker, 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.520 Oh for the Loudspeaker, and they were like. One of 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.519 them was like, hey, I got a fucking good idea. Yeah, 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.040 after we pay off this we worked bill, we I 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.240 gotta plan for for solving our problems. Yeah. The other 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:31.200 nerd was like, I love the saxophone Shaker faces Ship 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:36.040 Zoom Corporation. I thank you for your platform so I 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.960 can make money now. But you know, yeah, but you know, 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.520 you know what you did? You know what you did 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.120 give him check mr V a day. You know you 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.080 know who I assume gets all of her checks and 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.360 and probably is rightfully credited on all the things that 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.600 she does, is our guest today. I feel like I 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.640 feel like she she is. She probably is coming up 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.480 with a lot of brilliant ideas of her own brain 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.200 and not that we works. I think she probably does 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.760 it in her own home, I would imagine. But she's 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.079 a lovely guest. She's a fantastic comedian, hilarious. You guys 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.600 know her from her work on Conan, you know her 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.720 from her work in the New Yorker. She's so funny. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:26.240 Please give it up for our guests, Miss Maggie May, 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.920 thank you. I'm happy to be here. We're happy to 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.160 have you. I have you. Have you come up with 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:37.600 any uh multi billion dollar ideas? Um? I have a few. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.880 I got a couple of them, and uh, I mean, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:46.000 just get ready to run me my check when I want. Yeah. No, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.520 that's I don't like to say him either, because you dropped. 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.960 You dropped the idea, and then next thing, you know, 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:56.360 everybody's wearing you know, Gucci sweatpants or whatever was my idea. Okay, 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.240 I had a feeling that that might have been you 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.640 that did the Gucci sweatpant. It combines my two loves, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:09.760 luxury and sweat. Wasn't that a Nelly album? Wasn't It 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:19.960 wasn't suit because there's two different Nellies. You know, you 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:26.240 always associated Nelly with suits before this. It's wet, he 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.600 seems very athletic. I bet he doesn't sweat a lot 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.360 at all. No, Maggie, I know none of this has 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.480 anything to do with the conspiracy theory you came to 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.160 us today, but I'm very excited to dig into it. 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.120 It might be, i'd argue, maybe one of the vaguest 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.839 conspiracy theories we've ever dealt in. Truly, it means nothing, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.040 but also I think has such a a large, powerful meaning. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.040 So I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:05:00.240 You said, my mama told me the left hand. It's 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:10.479 Bay tell us more. It's just there are so many 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.760 different I wouldn't even say conspiracy theories. I'd say superstitions 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:19.360 surrounding the left hand. And I talked with my siblings 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.040 before coming on because I was like, what exactly like 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.880 remind me all the different stuff that we heard as kids, 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.480 and all the different things, And the one that kept 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.800 coming up was left hand, Like if you I know 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:36.120 that the left hand in general is just unlucky, Like 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:41.680 let's wash him mouth. Some of us are left handed here. Well, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.400 I mean it's not encouraged. Like my brother's left handed, 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:49.400 but he's now ambidextrous because they heavily encouraged him to 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.440 use his right hand. For my grandmother, So your brother 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.480 was using his left hand and then your grandmother, I 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.080 think you said, was coming in and what what was 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.200 she doing to encourage this? Just really encouraging him to 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.200 because he like favors his left side, like he plays soccer, 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.400 he favors that side and everything, and so they had 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.200 him learned to write with his right hand as well. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.800 So you know, I don't know if it was like 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.839 this is the right hand to write with or whatever, 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.800 but they just like really discouraged him from like using 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.520 his left hand nowadays, like he uses that he used both, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.720 but like it was kind of a thing that they 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.080 didn't really want him to be a lefty because that's 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:31.960 just and he was the one who told me it 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.559 was like apparently if you pay somebody with your left hand, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.599 or you receive money with your left hand, that means 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:45.320 you're being dishonest. Whoa is this a Texas I think 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.520 it's a Nigerian thing. Yeah, because I didn't grow up 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.719 around a lot of black people. It was usually just 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.960 me and my family who were the black people in 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.520 the school, So like there wasn't anybody that I could 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.839 go and ask, like, hey, does I knew? You know, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.560 neither white kids weren't gonna get any kind of specialized 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.360 education and conspiracies or anything like that. They were just 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.480 gonna let that ship happen. But it's like I have 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.240 to assume there's also something dangerous and being the only 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.240 black person and you go, hey, is this the thing 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.040 at your house? And they go, no, nigger, that's a you, 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:22.960 that's a y'all things. And now it's a black thing 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.600 for a bunch of white people that didn't previously know 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.360 you were doing ship, and now they all think we're 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.960 not left handed. Yeah, all the white kids were like 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.440 absolutely not. And then I met black kids later and 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:40.240 they were like absolutely not. This is so I'm left 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.840 handed and they tried to teach me to write right handed. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.080 So I feel it didn't work because I'm stupid, But 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.840 I feel I feel for your brother greatly. Does he 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.320 was it? Like, is your grandma, Like did she ever explain? 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.960 Why was she like, oh no, don't write with that 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.120 hand because then you'll never get married. I mean, I'm 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.760 sure she explained to him, And um, I guess he 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.480 just did it because he's a kid, and you know, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.080 he's my brother's like hella smart, so he could just 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.080 figure anything out that he wants to. But like, yeah, 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.960 he's not a dumb dumb like you boy, he out Listen? 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.800 Is your whole family right handed? Like what's the percentage 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.160 of left handers in your family? My brother is the 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.480 only lefty? And then how many are there of you? 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:39.280 It's five kids and just my dad? Oh man, is 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.400 everybody else doing some something cool science related or or 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.440 achievement related. I guess is a better way of saying. Yeah. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.280 Like my sister and her husband. Her husband's a doctor 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.040 and so they own a bunch of freestanding emergency rooms 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:59.000 and then um like urgent cares. Yeah, well there. I 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.480 think they're actually like free extant because he's an emergency 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.400 room doctors, So they're like freestanding emergency rooms that you 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.800 could go to. And I think a lot of them 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.760 are in like towns in Texas where the hospitals are 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.839 not that you know. So it's like, if they've got 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.760 the one hospital and that's all you can do for 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.720 an emergency, then at least have like a free standing 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.920 emergency room, so you have an option. That makes me. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.400 I didn't know that it was possible to have a 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.840 free standing emergency room until you explained it that way, 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.840 because otherwise it just sounds like they had like trucks, 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:34.720 you know what I mean, like food trucks. But you 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:41.080 could get your like a wamby lance the round whose 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.760 heart I was imagining, just like a tent in the 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.760 park where you could go if you like, we're breathing funny, yeah, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.680 like a real free standing kind yeah yeah, yeah, like 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.440 emergency room pop up. Yeah, but at least come by 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.600 and they're like, hey, move it, buddy, you know, like 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.839 I'm literally setting almost life. Yeah, you gotta get out 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.120 of it, just selling someone up. Do you have permits 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:11.080 for this? Okay? So so success is in your family, 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:15.520 but not necessarily everybody being doctors. Do you still believe 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.839 or did you ever believe? Maybe that's a better way 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.200 of framing this question. Did you ever believe in your 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:28.280 grandmother's suggestion of the left hand being bad, not really, 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:33.560 because there were a lot of other well, superstitions and 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.080 whatnot that I don't know if they were Nigerian specific 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.800 or if it was just my family decided we were 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.360 going to come up with a bunch of stuff. But 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.959 like there were other things that I was just like, 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.800 there's no way that you know, there's no way this 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.760 is also true, like if there's one that like if 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.360 you're sitting on the floor and someone steps over you, 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.440 it's supposed to stunt your growth. And I was just like, 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.920 not likely. So the likelihood that this and the left 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.280 hand thing it's true, it's like probably not. I mean, 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.520 we'll come to think of it. Like it is more 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.959 unlucky to be left handed because the world is it's 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:14.840 the right hander's world. Left handed people unfortunately die more 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:22.040 because like if what there's like a higher because like 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.160 if you're using as much as right handed no no, 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.040 no, no no, it's look it up. Look it up. It's 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.000 like easier to like get into an accident dive if 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.760 you're left handed, because the world is like set up 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.960 for right handed people. So if you're using the chainsaw, 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.760 it's likely to be a right handed chainsaw. And so 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.439 if you try it with your left hand, there's like 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.160 a little bit of a difference and a little bit 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.480 of you know, it's a little adjustment for the listeners 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.200 at home. David is currently trying to uh to my 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.840 a chainsaw. I've used to chainsaw before. I'm just trying 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.920 to think about how it went. Did you did you 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.440 do it as a lefty? Were you doing it left 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.080 hand dominant chainsaw? No? I feel like I held the 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:11.720 guard with my left hand and I pulled the choke 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.120 with my right hand. That seems right hand dominant, if 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.439 that's what I'm saying. And now, see that's how they get, you, brother, 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:24.760 i't even know that's how they get I'm so indoctrinated. 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.240 I didn't think there was a better way to change, 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.560 because now I'm like in my hand, I'm like, if 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.520 I had to change saw how I wanted, I would 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.600 use this fand here and pull it with this fand yeah, 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.200 But then where would that be situated with you? Like 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.560 would you be able to pull it with your left 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.199 hand and it be like still straight or would your 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.200 right hand still be able to hold onto the other thing, 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:53.720 or would it be like more precarious? You could you know, 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.079 it's all over to one side and see your leg. 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.960 It's all bad. Also with guns, the safeties, it's all 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.920 is for. It's for right handed people. You're not supposed 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:09.040 to shoot except for clock jen fives. But it breaks 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.920 my heart to think that you could be one of 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.440 the greatest chainsaw champions in the country. Were it not 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:20.080 for the failures of our education system and producers, I 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:26.080 could have been one of the greats. Paul Bunyan, John Henry, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:31.439 David Boy I could add. Yeah, we all heard all 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.000 those John Henry stories of him with the chainsaw, the 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:41.240 guy who refused to use modern technology. John Henry was 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.880 the one who beat the He beat the train machine. Yeah, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.000 he just used the sledgehammer. I'm sure there was a 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.199 black chainsaw man. There's gotta be a black chainslaw man 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.599 out there. And if you're a black chainsaw man, we 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:57.400 would love to hear from you. Please please your updates 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.319 to my Mama Pott at gmail dot com. True, we 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.000 don't even care if they're conspiracy related. We just want 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.319 to know that you're doing all right. No, if you're 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:10.199 a black chainsaw man, I'm looking to offload some money anyways, 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.040 I will I will support you in the chainsaw games. 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.240 I've seen them on ESPN three. I know they're real. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.520 I've never seen a black guy. Let's you know, hit 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.960 me dad. So do you mean like a chainsaw man, 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.400 like like John Henry style, like they go and like 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.200 have him go against a chainsaw just with two axes 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.920 or something. No, you've never seen them. You never seen 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.000 the timber games on ESPN four. You've never seen like 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:46.960 you never been depressed at the best Western like two 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.000 real thick men battling it out over who can chop 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:56.760 wood faster. Yeah, yes, like running on a log and 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.680 seeing who can fall off. But then sometimes they have 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.480 to chain saw stuff and then they have to like 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.280 change saw very strategically to make a tree fall down 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:10.160 or to like uh yeah, to do cool stuff. So yeah, 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:11.960 I think Bori could have been one of the best. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.240 I think, so I would love to see a black 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.680 person do that. I feel like we were wrecked shock 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.800 with that ship. I have a feeling and this is 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.720 pretty racist. I feel like we're I feel like we're 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.840 the best at all the sports. We just haven't figured 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.720 out all the sports yet. WHOA like you know what 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.160 I'm saying, Like, if you gave us all the sports, 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.440 like we're the best ninja warriors. Black people just aren't 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.960 ninja warrior and like that, you know what I mean. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.040 It does to some extent. But then I think about 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:47.680 like the way Asians dominate, like like gymnastics and and 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.200 cool flips and ship and I don't know, they're they're 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.200 naturally sometimes a little more petite than us, and I 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.880 just think that they're gonna win. What about bios for sure? 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.200 All right, she's the best at her in the in 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.960 the field. But I've been to uh, what's that nun? 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:09.160 And that you Yeah, I didn't want to go, but 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.120 my mother in law really wanted to go. And it 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:16.040 turns out it stinks anybody that's scaring us about Shen Yune. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.520 It's a real stink show. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:25.560 Oh man, I wanted to go. That's like one of 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.880 these days I'm gonna put down sixty dollars to see 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.520 some people do some of those jump kicks. No, don't 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.400 go to Jen, You and y'all, it ain't worth it. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.280 Oh I thought it was a play. No, I mean 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.480 it kind of is. It's a series of plays and 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.320 then there's a Chinese person and a white man who 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.800 sort of like coming in between and give you like 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.440 historical information about each of these stories that they're telling, 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:54.000 and it just kind yeah, it feels like you know 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.040 when it feels It feels like when your school has 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.480 like an assignment that you have to like both watching 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.600 a play but also taking notes. It's got that the 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:08.000 whole time. And then I thought that was a guy. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:13.240 Oh is that Shank song that you're thinking of. I 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.240 might be thinking of Shang Chi of the Golden Rings. 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.199 Oh yeah, that's the guy too. There's a few guys 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.960 with shin type bassis that this episode really went off 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:33.280 the rails. Sorry, we we started talking about sports and 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:37.119 somehow got real bigoted. About a minute and a half 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.240 later before we go to break Maggie this, I feel 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:44.080 like this is an important question. Your brother was was 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:48.560 trained to basically embrace his right hand. Do you think 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.920 any part of him now believes some of what your 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.080 grandmother said? Is anyone in your family sold on the 0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.879 possibility that there's something bad about left handedness? Um? I 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.760 mean no, because now he writes with his left hand, 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.880 Like if there was any I think it was kind 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:10.680 of a thing that he might have been doing just 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.560 to like give lip service, but I don't think any part. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.199 I mean, he was still left left side dominant, Like 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.040 he's still dominant soccer with his left hand, you know, 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:25.040 left foot, and like everything, like even if he's not 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.040 writing with his right hand, if he's gonna catch something, 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.840 he's catch it with the left. So so he was 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:35.240 really just being respectful to your grandmother as like the 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.520 matriarch of your family, exactly exactly. And I think when 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.560 you're a kid, you don't know he was left in 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:49.800 the streets. But I think, like if when you're a kid, 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:51.720 you don't really know, you're like, okay, is this a 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.639 bad thing? Let me just let me get on this side, 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:59.520 and like kind of see if you know, I think 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.920 in some ways, and I have to assume this also 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.840 was a challenge. Is like, as a black person growing 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.920 up in a predominantly white space, you don't need more 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.600 reasons to like stand out. And I have to assume 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.960 that it also became easier to just be like, no, 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.679 I can I can write like the rest of y'all 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.800 and not feel at all sort of like threatened by 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.440 being the weird outsider in this space. I guess, so 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.199 I guess it was like a modicum of that. But 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:31.600 like thinking back in school and stuff like that, well, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.399 I guess I wasn't raised in I was raised predominantly 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.119 in a culture that like thinks that or believes that 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.760 or whatever. It's just like what I heard from the home. 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.440 But like, I never I never noticed who's left handed 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.480 and who's right handed and class like that was nothing 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:58.040 that I ever found important. Oh, I see, that's why 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.320 it's more dangerous to be a lefty. I like that. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:05.159 I like that. I like the Lengthston started this episode like, no, 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.720 this one is so vague, I actually have no idea 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.960 about any type of discrimination on the left. And then 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:17.080 twenty minutes and he's like, I used to kill them. 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.240 We murder those kids in the street from being filthy strangers. 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:27.359 Once again, I am left handed. And wait till I 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:33.840 see you in person, big dog. All right, we're gonna 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:35.760 take a break. We'll be back with more Maggie May 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:55.560 and more, my mama told me, And we are. Yeah, 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.080 we're back here with more Maggie May more. My mama 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.840 told me. We're still talking about the possibility that left 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:06.160 handedness a left handed person is somehow bad. The left 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:10.880 hand itself is bad in society. Did you feel like 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:15.040 you ever witnessed outside of your home any evidence of 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.600 this being true other than all those dead left handed 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:23.440 people that you you apparently were walking past every day. 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:29.639 A couple of times. Actually, I remember I was maybe 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.320 in an argument or something with somewhat with a friend 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:34.359 of mine and then like we had you know, I 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.280 decided I wasn't mad or anything, and I like extended 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.640 my hand to him. Didn't think which hand I was extending, 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.119 and he was like, not your left hand, and I 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.919 was just like, what do you mean, not you're And 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.800 then I saw an improv show. I used to do 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.000 improv back in the day. Well, I still do whatever, 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:53.880 but it's okay, but you don't have to be ashamed 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.960 of it. It's it's a perfectly healthy art form that 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.119 some people enjoy. Yeah, I mean, I'm not ashamed it. 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.040 I just was like, oh, back in the day, I 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:04.760 used to do it, and when in fact, like I 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:09.040 would do it tomorrow. Someone booked me, but uh, some 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:13.560 my friends. Tony someone tried to shake her hand on 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.960 stage and she was like, don't left hand me. Don't 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:18.919 give me that, and she said, don't give me that 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:23.320 poop hands, and I was just like the world, you're not. 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:29.120 It's only okay if I say it, that's his poop hand, 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:39.280 that's my poop. Wait have you heard that before? You heard? No? 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:41.440 But people don't. I know, people don't like it when 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:43.679 you go to shake with your left. I've had to 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:47.360 condition myself. Did I naturally just shake with the right, 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.879 which is uncomfortable for me? And maybe my grip isn't strong. 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.399 So yeah, you caught me on an off day and 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:57.680 you popped my knuckle a little bit. I'm just not 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:02.119 used to that hand. But yeah, people don't like it 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:03.560 if you come in and shake with your left thing 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:07.320 at all. Yeah, I've always at least from my and again, 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:09.720 I'm right handed, so maybe some of this is just 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.639 like being ignorant to it. I always presumed that that 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.240 was just an American thing that, like we had all agreed, 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:20.080 right hand is the way you shake, and nobody would 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:23.359 ever dare shake with their left. I mean, I haven't 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.800 touched a lot of foreigners physically, but I'd imagine I 0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:31.720 think that's worldwide. It sounds right. Maybe some of this 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.520 research will help clear it up, but it definitely what 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:36.760 do the what the what do the books say. Well, 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:41.480 I'll tell you this. Apparently the word sinister sinister we 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:45.880 all know uh to be a word meaning evil, bad, 0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.440 demonic of sorts, you know those kinds of things. It 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:53.159 actually the Latin word. It comes from a Latin word 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:57.920 meaning on the left side. That's the the original definition 0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:01.960 of the Latin word that sinister comes from. So it's 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:05.560 not starting great for you, big dog. No. And it's like, 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.680 it's not just me, there's we're a third of the population. 0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:15.200 Is it a third? Is that? Yeah? That seems real high. 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:16.520 As soon as I said it, I was like, yo, 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:20.760 your wolet I bet you. I feel like it's probably 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:24.480 like six it's it's not very common. No, it's very 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.639 it's pretty uncommon. And some suggests and it sort of 0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.040 goes back to what you were saying earlier, Maggie about 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:35.000 the association's right that some of the reasons these associations 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:39.320 have been considered bad is largely because of how dominant 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:43.800 right handed people have been in society. So it's much 0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:47.960 more convenient for a a society at large to be like, hey, 0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:50.720 everybody do the same thing the way we're doing it 0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.880 than to embrace the possibility that like, yeah, maybe your 0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:57.200 hand could do a different thing. I mean, we even 0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:00.080 have the nerve to call it the right hand, m 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:02.800 you know, and then the other one just left, like 0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:08.359 Ship went left. I love him hotep tones to it. 0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:12.120 I like what you're doing here. My question. First of all, 0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:18.160
