It's crazy we've been doing 118 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: this that long and have affected people in that way. 119 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: That's you know, dope purpose. 120 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: But I'm glad. 121 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: I'm glad you feel that it's a positive influence and 122 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: you know to to offer at least like alternatives to 123 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: some of the stuff that's out there for the ways 124 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: that people define masculinity and stuff. You know, it's funny 125 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: hearing you say that, because I remember one of the 126 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: YouTube comments we got that I deleted was some dude 127 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: talking about they couldn't listen to the show, like, oh, 128 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: y'all still around. It was it was like a backhanded 129 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: compliment type of this type of thing. Ain't trying to 130 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: be funny, but one of the things he said was like, 131 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: I can't listen to the show because you never know, 132 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: Ryde gonna cry some shit like that, and I just 133 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: thought it was so funny. I know they were maybe 134 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: they were joking, maybe they thought they were making me 135 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: feel bad, but I just thought it was so funny. 136 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: How threatened the idea of a man might cry was 137 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. It's just crazy that that that 138 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: would be a turnoff to the show. And keep in mind, 139 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: we've done thousands of episodes. I may have cried a 140 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: handful of times on the show, like this is crazy, 141 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: but it's crazy the how threatening it is to the 142 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: fragile idea of what a man can and should be, 143 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: which is just so funny. Anyway, ten Star Show. This 144 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: is from mister Buer, who says or it could be Bure. Hello, 145 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: Rid and Karen, My sister Zimzi, Oh, this is from Nigeria. 146 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: Shout out to Nigeria. 147 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: Okay. 148 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: My sister Zimzi has been an avid listener of your 149 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 2: show for a long time, and I'd usually catch a 150 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: segment or two while she was listening in the back 151 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: while I was in the back around or when we 152 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 2: shared a rod. I catch some bits of the show 153 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: and I thought you guys were really funny, but nothing 154 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 2: could have prepared me for exactly how insanely hilarious you 155 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: guys truly were. I went looking for a companion podcast 156 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: to go with House of the Dragon, and it's my 157 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: good fortune we have it. The first episode I found 158 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: was Big Mama Vissera's and let me tell you Rod's 159 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: impression of Veymon and Stephen A. Smith should be arrested 160 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: for attempted murder. Thank you. That was a thing I 161 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: came up with literally, like when I was doing my notes, 162 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 2: like an hour before the show, and I was like, 163 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if this's gonna work. It might be 164 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 2: a stretch. I don't even know the overlap of people 165 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: that know that Stephen A Smith joke and the Veymon joke. 166 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: But even if they didn't, the fact that people just love. 167 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: That voice, yeah yeah, But to know that there was 168 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: people that did get it, that's the best. That's the 169 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: That's why I like on what we do. Needless to say, 170 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: I immediately subscribe to the podcast thereafter, and I've been 171 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: endlessly entertained and educated at the same time. It's really 172 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: a joy to listen to the insights on what's happening. 173 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: And I'm also back in a thousand or guess the race, 174 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: maybe because I've absorbed a lot of American culture despite 175 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: living all the way over in Nigeria, and some things 176 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: are just undeniably the audacity of a white man. 177 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: Oh America is everywhere. We number one. We affect everything. 178 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: Karen's laugh should be registered as a national treasure. And 179 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 2: although I can guess Rod would do Nicholas Cage when 180 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: he tries to steal Karen's laugh, I'm sure a national 181 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: treasure three white Boycott Slipping would be would still be 182 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: fun for the whole family to watch. I'm very happy 183 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: to recommend this show that everyone, and I would rate 184 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: it ten stars if I culds, so the cars to 185 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 2: the rating system. Ps I am team Daycare because the 186 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: good for Toddler's exactly what a sociopathic supercomputer owned by 187 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos would come up with. The break the wheel 188 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: of any adolt. Love you, Joy, keep up the excellent work. 189 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: Thank you. That was very oh Man nice. All the stars. 190 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: This is from Hiratio, who says, I think this is 191 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: perhaps my third five star review since I started listening 192 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: to you guys both back in twenty fourteen to twenty fifteen. 193 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 2: I believe I found your podcast back when I was 194 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: purposely seeking out black podcasts. When I first start first 195 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: started listening, I was in a deep depression after my 196 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: sophomore year in college. Hearing your laughter with and love 197 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: for each other was one of the things that brought 198 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: light back to my life all these years later, and 199 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: your podcast has actually helped me in a new way, 200 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: which caused me to write this third review. I consider 201 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: myself more of a progressive leftist type who was finding 202 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: it increasingly harder to discuss politics with my gen X 203 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: Democrat mom. It was hard for us to see where 204 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 2: the other was coming from, and it got so bad 205 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: that just mentioning Kamala Harrison turned into an hour's long debate. 206 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: In a way, your podcast has kind of been like 207 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: a gen X translator for me because of the way 208 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: you both explained your political views. It helped me to 209 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: finally understand what she was coming from and to realize 210 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: that we don't actually disagree as much as I thought 211 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 2: we did because Black progressivism is just different. It's also 212 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: helped to hear Rod talk about the sympathy he had 213 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: for one point for at one point for non voters, 214 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: as there was a sympathy that I've shared but dropped 215 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: once you bufflet out how utterly selfish it is. I've 216 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: always believed in the electoral process. It may not be 217 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: the only tool needed to achieve the kind of future 218 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: we want, but it cannot be achieved without it. Thank 219 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 2: you for being yourselves and creating this multi generational learning space. 220 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: Take this new five star as another talking of my appreciation. Wow, oh, thank. 221 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: You baby, and and I really do appreciate. We try 222 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: to have a lot of nuance on this show, and 223 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: it's sometimes when it comes to certain things. A lot 224 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: of times, like you said, we are actually on the 225 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: same page. You know a lot of people when you 226 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: talk about the squad and theyo seeing all them. You know, 227 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: for some people people throw their eyes, they you know, 228 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: all these bitches, they get on their nerves whatever. But 229 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: we actually are owned the same page. And if you 230 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: can look at the picture and understand that that for 231 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: some of us, the goal is the same. We just 232 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: have different versions of different ways to get to these goals. Uh. 233 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: And maybe their goals might be bigger than the goals 234 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: that you know you might have, but it does not 235 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: mean their goals aren't valid, and it does not mean 236 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: we can't work together to reach those goals. I think 237 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: now we live in a society where we don't want 238 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 1: to compromise. It's like, okay, you want to go a 239 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: little to the left, I want to go a little 240 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: to the right, and we actually could be in the 241 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: middle and everybody be satisfied. But we live in a 242 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: society now where everybody go, fuck it. You don't greeve 243 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: with me one hundred percent, fuck it fuck you. And 244 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: you're like that that's kind of ridiculous, y'all, Like it 245 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't be to that extreme just because we don't agree 246 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: on one percent. So one we don't agree on one percent, 247 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: were thrown out the other ninety nine percent of the 248 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: shit we agree on as stupid. 249 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me it is. It's interesting because 250 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: the gen X mentality having kind of been at this 251 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: moment being this bridge between like millennials and the gen 252 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 2: Z and all this stuff and then the people before us. 253 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: There's benefit to a lot of the stuff that people 254 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 2: threw out as like conventional wisdom. And I think every 255 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: young generation goes through this, which is why most of 256 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: the young generation voting turnout as lower, this generation having 257 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: come after Trump, and because of I think social media 258 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: and not in the way people think. Because I thought 259 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: it like the way I would have thought. I thought 260 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: what would happen was we would have more tools, the 261 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: more information, and it would cause younger people to want 262 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: to vote, because look at we've never been as informed 263 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 2: about the process and what the impact. But I think 264 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: the opposite happened, which was it led to this nihilism. 265 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: It led to like Russian election interference, It led to 266 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: demotivation for the vote and a lot of signifying of 267 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: like how I'm so different, I'm not going to vote, 268 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: but I'm going to expect change, and unfortunately it's like 269 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: everyone fucked around and found out. You know, I was 270 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 2: looking on Twitter and there was a that was like 271 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: the verge had this thing like it's social media bad 272 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: for young people's mental health. During our series The Social 273 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: Mind with these people, we sat down and we talked 274 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: and I said, just young people, because I watched people 275 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: in my generation, in my age, people that I think 276 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: no better, people that probably voted their whole lives. I 277 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: watched them. I watched them fuck off twenty sixteen. 278 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: Yes, and. 279 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: To a large extent, it wasn't until Trump that a 280 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: lot of people kind of snapped back to like their senses. 281 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 2: I think. For me, and it's just how my brain 282 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: is set up, I will always feel a bit ashamed 283 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: of twenty sixteen when I was we were joking we 284 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: were obviously gonna vote. We weren't ever saying weren't gonna vote, 285 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: but we were kind of like dabbling in the whole, 286 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 2: like sarcastic, like girl, I guess I'm with her, made 287 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: to vote, you know. And I remember, uh my girl 288 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 2: Kochie had said like she didn't not like what we 289 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: were doing that and I've and on Twitter she had 290 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: said something that I was like, yeah, but we're we're 291 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: saying despite everyone's lack of enthusiasm, where we should still 292 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: be obligated to vote. You know, we weren't saying don't vote, 293 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: But in hansight, I wish I hadn't even said it 294 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: that way because it was that important to me. I've 295 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: never been a I guess I'll vote nother fuck. I've 296 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: always been to like wake up early on early voting 297 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 2: day to go vote, motherfucker. And so I feel like 298 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: even I was influenced by the general tenor of the 299 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: conversation and the social media that I was on at 300 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: the time. And I think that's probably the biggest change, 301 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: is just that environment of fitting in, signifying, relating to people. 302 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: And I've watched it change, and I'm proud to have 303 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: been our show, to have been like on the forefront 304 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: of that. Nah fuck that, you know what I mean? 305 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 2: Because I'm seeing people come around and they realizing that 306 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: the fight isn't in this Like I'm gonna stay at 307 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 2: home and I'll go I'll go to a march, but 308 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: I won't vote. Republicans want to stop me from voting, 309 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna just stay. I'm gonna just help them. 310 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: I'm seeing people realize no the fight is actually over 311 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: here with the like kill me thea bitch, like like 312 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 2: like over my dead body. Are y'all gonna take this shit? 313 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 2: You know? And I think people are seeing now, unfortunately 314 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: because of Trump, how government works and how it don't work. 315 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: And now they're like, oh shit, and it's bringing people together. 316 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: It's not just our podcast or our explanation. Some of 317 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: this stuff is people finding out either they were wrong 318 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: or they didn't understand the full scope. So some of 319 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: this is people being like, you know, I said, uh, 320 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: you tripping what you mean? Uh? Defund the police is 321 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 2: a bad slogan. And then when you see Republicans weaponize 322 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 2: it to raise to raise up white fear and win 323 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: some races that they shouldn't have won, and then you go, oh, 324 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 2: that's why it's bad. It's not bad in AOC's district, 325 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: but it could be bad in another district in another state. 326 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: And and and so we don't want to help help 327 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 2: them with anything. You want to throw them the alley, 328 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: youp the dunking on us. And so I think anyway, 329 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 2: it's beautiful to see that, whether it's through the lens 330 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: of our podcast, is just a Lindsay relationship with your mom. 331 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: Correct. Then you know, I think for me, a lot 332 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: of people like you said, it took Trump for a 333 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: lot of people across all walks of life, all your 334 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: lives of people they l gbt Q, you know, because 335 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 1: they have their issues to because you know, when marriage 336 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: equality got that, there's a lot of LGBTQ people that 337 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: was like marriage equality, that's all I wanted. Fuck it. 338 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: And guess what they stopped too. So you know, it's 339 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: all across the board. People are like, oh, we crossed 340 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: the finish line. That's it. And a lot of times 341 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: I'm keep ready with the majority of white people that 342 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: were like this because most black and brown people that 343 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: crossed into all these other groups, they're like, no, bitch, 344 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: this is not the end of the fight. We have 345 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: to continue to fight, particularly those of us that have 346 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: you know, older fellow members are still alive. In fellow 347 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: members that experienced slavery. You set down, you know, some 348 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: of your family members might be dead, but you set 349 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: down and you listen to your cousins, your uncles, your 350 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: aunts and shit talk about how they integrated schools and 351 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: how they had to go. I know I do this 352 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: to a lot of day and how they had to 353 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: take weapons of school to defend themselves. Don't abotter gonna 354 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: go through that bullshit, And so you have to be like, 355 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: you know what, You're gonna take it over by goddamn 356 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: dead body. That's what's gonna happen. And it's hard to 357 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: get people to understand that. That's how serious it is, 358 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: because people go every election is important and why y'all 359 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: keep telling me it's life in there, bitch, because it is. 360 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: And it's like the people that are sounding the alarms. 361 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: It was like, hey, y'all, you can't stop because you 362 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: didn't win. Okay, regroup, get it together, get a better strategy, 363 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: and go at it again. You can't be like fuck 364 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: it at least I tried. But you go. But because 365 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: when you look about it, you gonna well the Republicans 366 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to Roe v. Wade, y'all know it 367 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: took the fifty years. Guess what took the motherfucking forty 368 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: nine years of goddamn losing. Forty years of goddamn losing. 369 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: So that means they was like, we lost us, try 370 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: a year up, we lost us, Try gear up, we 371 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: lost us, try again, like and that's serious, you know. 372 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: But outside. The first time, you know, any controversy comes 373 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: by the first time we're inconvenient, or the first time 374 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: something happened and is not about our direct group, you 375 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: have people to go fucking cause there are black people 376 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: to go with it. If it ain't black, I don't care, 377 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: LGB people to go and if it ain't about this, 378 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: I don't care. You know each you know, and but 379 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: we are collective, which means if it impacts one group, 380 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: it impacts everybody, because you know. 381 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: It's why Michelle Obama was right right what we literally 382 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 2: can't afford to go low over here. We always have 383 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: to go high. Going low is selling out your fellow 384 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: person and being like, well, immigration ain't my issue, you 385 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like I ain't got no o vagina, 386 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: I ain't worried about abortion. That's what going low is. 387 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: And every time we do, motherfuckers go crazy. Think about 388 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 2: anytime a major Democrat has endorsed a Democrat who's anti choice, 389 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: we go in on them. Think about the way people 390 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 2: talk about Kamala Harris, regardless of the truth about her record, 391 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: regardless of the context around her record. There's people I 392 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: was listening to a podcast the other day that was 393 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: trying to explain like it was trying to talk about 394 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: Internet hate and like you know and demogoguing people, and 395 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 2: they brought up Kamala Harrison. How you know, there was 396 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 2: like all this anti this anti Kamala Harris stuff when 397 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 2: she was working for president. And then the person went 398 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 2: on to talk about how and it really messed it 399 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 2: up because some of us that have legitimate critiques against 400 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, and I legitimately was like thinking back to 401 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 2: when we had rec Covid on the show, thinking about, 402 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: you know, some of the articles and deep dives I've 403 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 2: read about Kamala Harris and her record is not bad. Nope. 404 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 2: But this person went on to say, like, cause I 405 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: you know, I have legitimate reasons that I don't do 406 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: the death. And all I could think was it's still 407 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 2: working on you, you know what I mean? And so 408 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 2: even when you think it's not, it's still be working 409 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 2: on you because you're not going to go into details 410 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: about what it is that you because there's reasons and 411 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 2: context for every detailed thing that people could say. But 412 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,719 Speaker 2: my point being like it in a lot of ways, 413 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 2: it's still it can still happen if it wasn't for Trump, 414 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: it wouldn't even it would probably still be happening that 415 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 2: people would be, you know, encouraging Democrats to lose, But 416 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: it was because of their people pulling it shit together 417 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 2: and getting behind Biden that you know, a lot of 418 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 2: good things are starting to happen, and a lot of 419 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: things are being I mean, we're about to get basically 420 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: marriage of quality codified. That's something nobody had on the table. 421 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: We thought we didn't need to, and now we're gonna 422 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 2: get that. And it's just another and a long string 423 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: of things that Biden's administration has done because people push 424 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: them correct. 425 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: And also it's one of those things, like I was 426 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: saying before, particularly in the Democratic Party, anything that impacts 427 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: one group impacts all groups because the same the same 428 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: strategy that they use against black people, they use their 429 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: strategy across the board. If it's LGBTQ, they use that 430 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: strategy across the board. Don't think just because it's not 431 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: your group that that your motherfucker shit won't trickle your way. 432 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: You know, No, you might not be an immigrant, but 433 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: guess what they're gonna pass fucked up laws to effect 434 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: to affect your citizenship. You know, to strip your in citizenship, 435 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: make your citizenship less worthy of quote unquote being called 436 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: an American. And so you know, the picture is bigger, 437 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: and it's hard to get people to look outside of 438 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: themselves and realize that this country is bigger than just 439 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: me and mine. 440 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: But back to the five star reviews and thank you 441 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 2: for that one.

Okay, 497 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: we couldn't tell the difference. 498 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: My bad, I'm bad. 499 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 2: No, not my bad. Oh no, I'm not apologized. You 500 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 2: over there with them, And yeah, that's just a damn shame, 501 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 2: ain't it. It's just it is what it is. For 502 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: the privilege. Sometimes you gotta you gotta, you gotta pay, 503 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: you know. But uh, yes, So then the poe was, 504 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 2: did you by anything on Black Friday? Yes or no? 505 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: Yes? 506 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: Thirty two percent of our audience did. Sixty eight percent 507 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: of our audience didn't. And I'm starting to think I 508 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: wonder if the reason for that is actually the fact 509 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: that people don't the Black Friday, Cyber Sunday thing, Amazon Day, whatever, 510 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 2: It's all become such a blur. Yeah, I wonder if 511 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: people are actually like, yeah, I can't you know what 512 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 2: I mean. 513 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I'm probably about three, maybe four 514 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: years ago, maybe two some running there. Everybody got to 515 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: the point where you look up and they started pumping 516 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: these specials two months ahead of time. So now you're 517 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: dealing with two months of them pushing, pushing, pushing, pushing, 518 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: and now, particularly Amazon, the Amazon Prime Day is like 519 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: several times a year now, and then you know, so 520 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: now you've boombarding people with DA and then you boom 521 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: blinding people with the week before, and you're boom blinded 522 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: with people up to the week and then you're because 523 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: because I'm just realized it's just been a big push 524 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: and promotion. 525 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's something different. I think it's something different. 526 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: I think it's when the pandemic hit and we stopped 527 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: leaving the house to go to these sales. 528 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: And physically go to the stores. 529 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, because now I feel like Black Friday is just 530 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 2: it's really not Black Friday. It's actually Cyber Monday. A 531 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: few days to a week earlier. I actually got a 532 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 2: Black Friday deal on a video game, but it wasn't 533 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: on Black Friday. It was actually like a week or 534 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 2: two before Black Friday. It was like Xbox Black Friday sale. 535 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 2: And then I went and bought this game for thirty 536 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 2: dollars off, and I was like, wait, it's not even Monday. 537 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 2: It's not even Cyber Monday. It's not even Black Friday. 538 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: It's like it's it's like the week before Thanksgiving and 539 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 2: y'all are giving me this discount, and I'm like, oh, 540 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: Black Friday doesn't really mean what it used to mean. 541 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 2: As far as the day of yeah, and. 542 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure maybe somebody has done a study. I 543 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: wonder pre pandemic and post pandemic not quote unquote, have 544 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: they done studies to be like, hey, since the pandemic, 545 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: the percentage of people that are actually physically going to 546 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: the stores and shit like that has dropped because you've 547 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: had something like sure, you've had some places that's actually 548 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: made it a big staple to be like we are 549 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: closed on Thanksgiving Day and we are closed that like 550 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: they make a thing to be like, don't bring y'all 551 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: as us here, we are closed. 552 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 2: No comments on the YouTube, and then the poll on 553 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 2: the Spotify was of course higher for yes, because these 554 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 2: people have money, so they're buying things on Black Friday. Duh. 555 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 2: So thirty nine percent said yeah, sixty one percent said no, 556 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 2: which totally makes sense. And then the episode of Q 557 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: and A was clean out your junk Drawer. June said 558 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 2: from Hallow says I'm feeling harassed. Petia said never. Carly says, 559 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 2: already on the list to do over the holidays, got 560 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 2: some drawer organizers in order. Jeff says, I just closed 561 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 2: the drawer harder not to look at any of the junk. 562 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 2: Raphael says, the junk I got in my kids toys 563 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: before I know what to get rid of. Parents keep 564 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 2: adding to the grandparents, keep adding to the pal asked 565 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 2: the kid to pick up what she liked to give 566 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: away and got hustled. I was proud of the hustle, 567 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: but that would make sense? 568 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: Did you try to say you NFT's baby? 569 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: Roger says I need everything in there, including the hot 570 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: cone that hasn't been used since East of three And 571 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: drewsoh eighty two says, mind joe business, All right, that's 572 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 2: on me. 573 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: It ain't a drunk Deorge a clean joy? Then what's 574 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: the porter call of the drunk draw up? It's clean? 575 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 2: Uh TEPCNI thirty nine Top con was the title. We 576 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 2: got nine comments on this episode for most of the week. 577 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: I don't y'all have some to say? 578 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 2: Maron Ganghi says, it depends on the coworkers. Some jobs, yes, 579 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: Also two thirds of my jobs I get from friends, 580 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 2: so I know them already. And I guess that's a 581 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 2: response to the poll, which was do you enjoy partying 582 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 2: with coworkers? We'll get to that at the end. Let's 583 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: see Appa says, I'm a strong extrovert when I'm outside, 584 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 2: but I also need lots of quiet time in the evening. 585 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 2: So one part of me was very sad the lockdown. 586 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 2: At the lockdown situation, I get it. My brain is 587 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 2: a colorful pony making somersaults on a strong computer, and 588 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 2: they're are friends, and they are friends. In law school, 589 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 2: I did a seminar that was also about the different 590 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 2: amounts that can sue for. You can sue for in 591 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 2: the US and Europe. It was said that the reason 592 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: was in Europe the court see the reasonable in foreign 593 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 2: citizen as a baseline. I'm sorry for what that implies. 594 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 2: And because we have a social net for the poor 595 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 2: and the sick, they don't depend on the courts to 596 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 2: give them money to live so they can't work anymore 597 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,239 Speaker 2: for example. Oh also, lots of mediocre white men are 598 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 2: seen as smart or twelve level genius. That's true. But 599 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 2: also you yourself said that people would excuse Kanye with 600 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 2: the twelve level genius shit five minutes later, so maybe 601 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 2: it's not just whites. I am a white immigrant in 602 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: Germany and always knew I had to be better than 603 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 2: others to succeee. I don't feel it so much anymore 604 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 2: because I achieved stuff. But from the age of twelve, 605 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 2: when we're riding in Germany to maybe thirty five, I 606 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: felt it very strongly. I said one in reprot of this, 607 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: Kanye is a musical genius. Facts. I don't even know 608 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 2: if that's debatable. It's sad, but he's a musical genius, 609 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 2: and that doesn't make him a genius genius in any 610 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 2: other angle, any other levels. 611 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: That's just field. 612 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 2: These white men are being called geniuses and like life 613 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: like it doesn't extend it, just like, oh, he's a 614 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: business genius. It's like, oh, Elon Musk is a genius. 615 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 2: We should listen to him talk about flying. We should 616 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: listen to him take over social media and freedom of speech. 617 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 2: We should listen to him talk about electric cars. We 618 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 2: should listen to his stock market advice like comes something 619 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 2: different that is not what kin Kanye, even when considered 620 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 2: a musical genius, has always been relegated to like, yeah, 621 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 2: he might know what he's talking about with music. 622 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: But nothing else, nothing else. 623 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 2: Number two, I didn't say only white men get called geniuses. 624 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: So I didn't say only white men, but white men 625 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 2: probably benefit the most from this casual like environment of 626 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 2: get of knighting someone a genius just for being like 627 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 2: a white dude with some money. 628 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: And nobody else is gonna say so with this. 629 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 2: People normally use a turn to excuse bad behavior people 630 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 2: they are fans of, so it can happen the more 631 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 2: than just white men. But it's mostly a label people 632 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: reserved for white man, she said, true, it's mostly white men. 633 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 2: Probably from this, I agree. When Kanye invites some right 634 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 2: wing activists to a meeting with Trump, it's not like 635 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 2: this is about his musical talent. I would doubt that 636 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 2: they are even talking much about music at all. I 637 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 2: wanted heard Trump's favorite song was Memories from Cats or 638 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 2: so this doesn't sound like much like Kanye. Now I 639 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 2: how to sell memories in my head, great job. Here's 640 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 2: the thing, no one was helling Kanye for being a 641 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 2: genius at that meaning, so I don't even know where 642 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 2: it would come up, Like if there's some corner of 643 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 2: the internet that's calling everything Kanye is doing a genius. 644 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 2: They don't represent many people and there's not enough for 645 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 2: them to really be a voice. And you probably not 646 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 2: privy to that much American news. But turn on any 647 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 2: channel when they talked about Kanye, no one says the 648 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 2: word genius. Ever, It's not coming up like the idea 649 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 2: of him being a genius as a defense to his 650 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 2: terribleness is a very small pocket of people that have 651 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 2: no voice on this show and no voice in my life. 652 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 2: I don't talk. Even when I see people react to 653 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 2: it on social media. I always think that's sad that 654 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 2: you haven't decluttered your life of those people, because it 655 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 2: wasn't a lot of people, and I never see it. 656 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying, like, I'm not that interested. 657 00:35:54,640 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 2: And part of that is my isolationists introvert tendencies, meaning 658 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 2: I don't need to have a connection with people just 659 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 2: because they black. So if they say some bullshit to me, 660 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh okay, cool, you be on some bullshit 661 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 2: and I don't talk to them anymore. But yeah, I 662 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 2: think the Kanye is a genius thing is is crossing 663 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 2: some wires for Appia in that she thinks it's the 664 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 2: same as what people call like Elon Musk genius or 665 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 2: Bill Gates a genius, or the dude that died from 666 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 2: Apple genius or whatever. I'm and I don't think it 667 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 2: is the same, you know, I look at it actually 668 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 2: very similar to people that to like conspiracy theorists and shit, 669 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 2: people that think Kyrie Irvin is making a point. Like 670 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 2: those people to me, just there's not enough of them 671 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 2: for me to care. Straight Blossom says in a recent 672 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 2: job and if you always asked how I would connect 673 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 2: with our business partners and build a rapport, I said 674 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 2: I'd be dependable and let my work speak for itself. 675 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 2: They were like Noah, outside of work though, I didn't 676 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 2: have an answer for them, and I'm pretty sure they 677 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 2: held that against me. I didn't get that position, and 678 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm not trying to be one of their 679 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 2: little friends. They can miss me with that bs. 680 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: Right, who g as the fuck? Like unless my job 681 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: requires me to interact and take them own shit, But 682 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: I'm still at work, So what are we talking about? 683 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: You know how some jobs you take people travel expenses, 684 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 1: that you take people out to dinner or lunch or whatever. 685 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: We're still at work, so I don't get it, like, like, 686 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: why is that question relevant to the job. 687 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 2: It's also fucked up because one, it's more work outside 688 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 2: of work. You don't get paid for that part, right 689 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 2: for sure? And then two like, it's one of those 690 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 2: things where like, let's say you because we're conditioned to 691 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 2: want the job, we're an interviewed for the job, you 692 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 2: condition don't want to get it. Most people don't think 693 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 2: of it the other way, which is do I even 694 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 2: want this shit? And one of the things I've always 695 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 2: found interesting when it comes to that is, let's say 696 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 2: you lied. Let's say you got the job because you're like, oh, 697 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 2: I've realized the answer they want. You're gonna just be miserable. 698 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 2: You're gonna hate that part of the job more than likely. Now, look, look, 699 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 2: every once in a while you do something uncomfortable when 700 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 2: you fuck around and find out that you love it, 701 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 2: So that's possible, but more than likely, you're gonna end 702 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 2: up being like, I'm not the person that wants to 703 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,800 Speaker 2: go out for drinks with clients every night or whatever 704 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 2: the fuck it is. I like my going home or 705 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 2: I like my social life with my friends and family, 706 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 2: and here I am doing this shit and this is 707 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 2: part of the job. Might suck to you, so I 708 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 2: get it. Side note, I did end up getting a 709 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 2: new position with a dope leadership that that directly addressed 710 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 2: quiet quitting during the team meeting and how she thinks 711 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 2: that rebranding of work life balance is a negative is awful. 712 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 2: I was so happy I could have cried in that meeting. 713 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 2: Sean says, wait Rod charges extra for sleeping with coworkers. 714 00:38:54,360 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 2: Is that because Kerr has ice cold feet? Exactly? Sean said, 715 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 2: maybe Musk is just seeking the approof of his dad. 716 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, must started his fortune based on the 717 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 2: apartheid earnings of his dad. However, he made most of 718 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 2: his money by getting lucky during the dot com bubble. 719 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 2: He figures that if he destroys Twitter, then true social 720 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 2: will become the predominant social media platform, which will allow 721 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 2: Trump to return and usher're in a racial totalitarian state 722 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 2: to allow for a return to American apartheid. That way, 723 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 2: he can use neo Nazis, he can use neo slavery 724 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 2: to make another fortune the same way as daddy did. 725 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 2: Then his dad would finally love him. I mean, that's 726 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 2: what it looks like. He's doing edit just to be 727 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 2: certain this is all and jests. I don't think Musk 728 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 2: is fine enough to actually have a plan. That's but 729 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 2: it is hilarious though, and that is how people be talking. Yes, 730 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 2: even he says, the man called the cops on that 731 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 2: little girl, knew it was a little girl and knew 732 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 2: the exact words to say to get the cop to 733 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 2: come out to harass her. Fuck him, and I hope 734 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 2: he gets the biggest hemorrhoids and never has a peaceful 735 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 2: shit for the rest of his miserable racist life. Yeah, 736 00:39:55,080 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 2: that little black woman shit was whack my god. All right, 737 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 2: let's get into the poll. Oh sorry, we got a 738 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 2: couple comments on YouTube too, and Harmon says Karen counting 739 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 2: the wings I love heart emoji and then the Hugh 740 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 2: took me out. Lol. Yeah, a couple of people like 741 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 2: that that that line. Thank you. I'm glad y'all enjoyed 742 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 2: that one. And then of course the poe do you 743 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 2: enjoy partying with co workers? Yes? 744 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: No? 745 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 2: Or I don't have any coworkers? 746 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: No? 747 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 2: For Karen, so, seventy eight percent of y'all said no. 748 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 1: If I'm not on the clock, the fuck we doing together? 749 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,439 Speaker 2: Seventy eight percent of y'all said no, fourteen percent said yes, 750 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 2: and eight percent of y'all don't have any coworkers. Meanwhile, 751 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 2: on Spotify, fifteen percent said yes. It's slightly higher just 752 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 2: one percentage higher. Seventy four percent said no, and then 753 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 2: eleven percent don't have any co workers because they probably 754 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 2: CEOs and they don't count the people that work for 755 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 2: them as their coworkers. They count them as their henchmending underlings. 756 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: I get it, and the thing is it is, and 757 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: I think just work and people's relationship with working and 758 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 1: understanding would work more as they get older. And it's 759 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 1: one of those things to where you know, I got 760 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: to a point where I was like, hey, I need 761 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: more work life balance. I also got to a point 762 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: where I realized, hey, if this thing coworking turns into 763 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: a friendship, I'll communicate with you specific person outside of work, 764 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 1: but as a collective in the group. No, if I'm 765 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: not required to be there, no, And you know, a 766 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: lot of depending on the job, people make you look 767 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: crazy because you'd be like they'd be like, we're having 768 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: a function. You want to put into bank? No you 769 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: want to do this? No, we off the clock, we 770 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: want to meet someone. No, you're like, no, I got 771 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: shit to do. You know, the eight to ten hours 772 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,320 Speaker 1: a day we spent that's enough. 773 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. The thing for me with the coworkership that's interesting 774 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 2: is I've had good times with coworkers, but it's never 775 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 2: the it's almost never the way that they would measure 776 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 2: what a good time is. And it's just because I 777 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 2: don't have good times like that in my regular life. 778 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,240 Speaker 2: That has nothing to do with the coworkers, to be honest, 779 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 2: Because like I had a great time with Game Theory 780 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 2: going out to like that bar that was next to 781 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 2: where I stayed and sitting down and talking to my 782 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 2: coworkers a couple of times throughout the season and just 783 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 2: eating some food, drinking a couple of drinks and talking. 784 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 2: I loved that. That was very fun. I had a 785 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 2: good time. Everybody was so funny. And you know, I 786 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 2: didn't have much of a social life up there, and 787 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 2: it's COVID, so you know, I'm probably not gonna the 788 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 2: numbers up there are basically we got a mask again 789 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 2: and everything. So it's probably not gonna be a good 790 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 2: social time for at least a couple of months anyway, 791 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 2: And that's fine with me. The times that i've whether 792 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 2: you have that that coworker party thing that like the 793 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 2: company Christmas party, those are the things that I find 794 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 2: more nerve wracking, anxiety and ducing. I'm not a party 795 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 2: person like that. It feels very forced and coursed, and 796 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 2: because a lot of times these aren't really your friends, 797 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 2: and the things you know about each other is work, 798 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 2: and I kind of like that separation too, so having 799 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 2: to like, I don't like going into situations where the 800 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 2: best case scenario is I didn't have a terrible time. 801 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 2: That's the best case scenario. With these company parties, It's 802 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 2: not for me. It's never been a the best case 803 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 2: scenario is, oh my god, that was awesome. It's always 804 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 2: been like, uh, it wasn't the worst thing in the world. 805 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 2: But you know, and I know some people that are 806 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 2: really good at that stuff. You know. I remember I 807 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 2: worked with this dude work. He was like a upper 808 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 2: management black dude, and like him at the fucking Christmas 809 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 2: party was just it's like he was made to be mister. 810 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 2: At the Christmas party, he knew how to like do 811 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 2: some day answers or teach people how to dance. They 812 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 2: had like a karaoke or thing, and he sang like 813 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 2: some Christmas song to everybody, and like like it was 814 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 2: just some people are that's just their laying and he 815 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 2: probably loves doing that shit every year.

Also, I just said that's the difference 818 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: between something that's separate and then something that's work functioned, 819 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: because the thing about the work function for a lot 820 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: of people, you're still a motherfucking work like, like, Okay, 821 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: we're here, but I'm still at work. And so you know, 822 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 1: for a lot of people they had that, you still 823 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 1: got to put on the workface. You still got to 824 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: put on the work for it.

You know, 831 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: I get too drinks, and all of a sudden, this 832 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: rumored that I'm alcoholics, Like, you know, because people are 833 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: very judgment like that's real. So you're like, I don't 834 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 1: want to be by and you have to deal with 835 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 1: people who normally don't want to say anything. I just 836 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: want to be nosy, just coming and ask you all 837 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: types of person on the in basic questions because they 838 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 1: don't have any of the time to talk to you 839 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: about it, and you're like, this is not the time. 840 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: We're still at work. 841 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 2: Yeah. The other thing, too, is the cliche of the uh, 842 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 2: the cliche of like the coworkers who get slappy drunk 843 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 2: and fuck each other and they come to work the 844 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 2: next day hungover, come to work the next day with 845 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 2: the like awkward, Oh did they you know? The gossip? 846 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,359 Speaker 2: I feel like hopefully me Too movement killed that. Yes, sir, 847 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 2: I'll you know what I mean. I mean the pandemic too, 848 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 2: But hopefully the Me Too movement killed like it showed 849 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 2: people that dangers are like fraternizing with alcohol and co workers. 850 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 2: It might not be it might not be the cliche 851 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 2: from a movie that you see where it's just like 852 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 2: funny and a bit regretful and awkward. Who knows what 853 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 2: the fuck people are thinking? And so I think I 854 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 2: remember that happened when I was at at one of 855 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,280 Speaker 2: my jobby jobs, and that was like, oh, my manager 856 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 2: slept with this girl and from another department, everybody had 857 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 2: jokes about it coming by his desk and shit, and 858 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not saying how either one of 859 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 2: them should feel. But this is hell awkward, and I 860 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 2: could see somebody. 861 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 1: Awkward going to the HI department. 862 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see someone easily being like this is 863 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 2: not appropriate, or feeling ashamed or feeling guilty or whatever 864 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 2: the fuck. So hopefully that shit is over with. I 865 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 2: don't you know, maybe it'll come back, because motherfuckers always forget. 866 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 2: But I think it's for the best that people stop 867 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 2: looking at coworkers.

I'm gonna go back. Uh. One reason why 958 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:55,239 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the coworker parties and interactions 959 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: and things might go down. You talk about to me too. 960 00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 1: For a lot of companies, particular people working from home, 961 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 1: a lot of companies are saving money. They're like, you 962 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,759 Speaker 1: know what the amount of money per person we would 963 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,320 Speaker 1: invest in his twenty five or fifty dollars or whatever, 964 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 1: he's a bonus. We're just not gonna have the party. 965 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: We're just gonna scrap it. So we just don't have 966 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,160 Speaker 1: to deal with it all together, because you know, depend 967 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 1: on the company. It's a huge expense you know, depending 968 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: on the structure of your company due to these far 969 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,720 Speaker 1: because some companies go all out with their purchasing alcohol, 970 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 1: they have all these foods. Some companies, you know, just 971 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: after working and you know, you're dressing up and you know, 972 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,720 Speaker 1: the service like it could be hundreds of thousands of dollars, 973 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: So it's cheaper to be like, you know what the 974 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,880 Speaker 1: money we would have spent, here's the money per person. 975 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,520 Speaker 1: Just send them cards. Everybody work from home. Ain't no 976 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: reason to pay people pile up in here for you 977 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,760 Speaker 1: to get three percent of the people to come, because 978 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 1: most people are gonna like the fuck I'm coming in 979 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 1: there for I'm working from home. 980 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 2: Nah, that's a great point.

Really obviously hate that that 992 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 2: brother's gone, but I've loved that a fucking multi billion 993 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 2: dollar company understood that it was a loss that needed 994 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 2: to be settled and dealt with and mourned and not 995 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 2: just a corporate capitalistic construct to just you know, throw 996 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 2: another actor in there and pretend that it didn't happens 997 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 2: as a means to like escapism. And I have so 998 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 2: many other things I could say about it, but shout 999 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 2: out to Ryan Cooler and their whole cast and crew 1000 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 2: and Kevin Fight and all the people that empowered them 1001 00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 2: to tell the story their way. And you know, I 1002 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 2: just don't think there was a better way to tell 1003 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,279 Speaker 2: the story. And I think a lot of people have 1004 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 2: issues around death, we all do, and they've been in denial, 1005 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 2: and so that's why they just want to recastab with 1006 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 2: Bosman and move on. But that's because they in their 1007 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,560 Speaker 2: quest for like their own selfish escapism, I think they've 1008 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:23,279 Speaker 2: completely ignored the very real reality of that being a 1009 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 2: human being and having friends and connections. 1010 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,960 Speaker 1: Correct, and we knew him as an actor, but the people, 1011 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:33,839 Speaker 1: the staff and the crew and all they knew him 1012 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:38,359 Speaker 1: as a person, and Agital Bassett said something that I 1013 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:42,280 Speaker 1: was like, Wow. She was saying that doing their first 1014 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:48,319 Speaker 1: few days of recording, before they actually started recording, she 1015 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 1: said that they took all the staff, all the crew, 1016 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,879 Speaker 1: all the product production crew, like everybody that was there, 1017 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: like when they first got there, and they actually flew 1018 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 1: to where he was buried, and she would saying that 1019 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: they sat around and she was saying that they were 1020 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 1: allowed to actually mourn, and she was saying that they 1021 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 1: actually everybody from like the boats my new person to 1022 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 1: like the biggest person all shared stories because they was 1023 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: like he was so interactive with everybody. They was like 1024 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,479 Speaker 1: he knew people's names. They was like he made sure 1025 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 1: to interact with you and stuff like that. And that's 1026 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 1: the shit that lost when people just go we cast. 1027 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,400 Speaker 1: You go know these people that actually had a real 1028 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 1: functioning relationship with this man, and they can't just fucking 1029 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,319 Speaker 1: be like it don't matter no more. 1030 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,280 Speaker 2: Yep, let's see double bitch says Listen.

Her uncanny ability 1034 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 2: to get the name of any and everything completely wrong 1035 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,840 Speaker 2: rivals on me that adjusting on Boston Sports. 1036 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 1: That's about as bad a last night what I said 1037 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 1: a lady this case. She say, I like your horness hoodie, 1038 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,760 Speaker 1: and so I don't remember where I got it from. 1039 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,719 Speaker 1: So I came back down, I said, Roderick, I said, 1040 00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 1: where do you get this hoodie from the fantastic site? 1041 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,239 Speaker 1: Roger was like, it's not fantastic, it's fanatics. 1042 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 2: Rod, I demand that you go to a corporate with 1043 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,759 Speaker 2: this case. Oh wait, corporate for you means reporting right 1044 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:24,839 Speaker 2: back to that racist Karen. 1045 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:25,439 Speaker 1: Poor Rod. 1046 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,399 Speaker 2: Poor Rod. Anyway, Rod, you're a spot on about white 1047 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,279 Speaker 2: people in the word monkey. They love it. They use 1048 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,240 Speaker 2: it all the time. I remember I had a similar 1049 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 2: action as you when I first heard them using it 1050 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 2: at work. They would call someone a slide monkey as 1051 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 2: a person that's creating PowerPoint slides. Took me a while 1052 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 2: to realize every time I heard that turn they were 1053 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,360 Speaker 2: referring to another white person. They used monkey for everything. 1054 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. I could easily see that starbus worker thinking 1055 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 2: someone actually said their name was monkey after that great 1056 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 2: show Swab. Yeah. I don't necessarily know everything about white people, 1057 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 2: but the time that I was around them, I did 1058 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 2: know that, like they see monkeys so differently, And the 1059 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 2: reason that it occurred to me was because monkey always 1060 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,399 Speaker 2: hits my racism radar. It doesn't even matter which way 1061 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 2: they use it. I don't know why, but for my 1062 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 2: whole life, I've been conditioned to be like, monkey, what 1063 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 2: you what this means somebody about to get lynched or something, 1064 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 2: you know? 1065 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,960 Speaker 1: And so they even't have children songs about it. Five 1066 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 1: of the monkeys jumping on the bed fell off and 1067 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 1: bumped his head like so they don't think, they don't 1068 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 1: think twice about it. 1069 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 2: And so it's only because racism has robbed me of 1070 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 2: my ability, or it had robbed me. I reclaimed my shit, 1071 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 2: but it had robbed me of my ability to hear 1072 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 2: somebody say monkey without thinking it was racism. And then 1073 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 2: now I'm just and honestly dog no offense. I love 1074 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 2: being black and I love my people, I really do. 1075 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 2: But there's a certain amount of shit that I find 1076 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,120 Speaker 2: to be resistance, which is I'm not giving them everything right, 1077 00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 2: I'm not giving them a hair trigger for me for shit, 1078 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 2: like it's certain shit I do get, like someone's called 1079 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 2: me the N word or some shit like obviously that's 1080 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:10,920 Speaker 2: that's different. But like a white person makes this mistake 1081 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 2: at work and I immediately have to call the fucking news. 1082 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 2: If that's what you do, that's cool. I'm not I'm 1083 00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,120 Speaker 2: not gonna do it. It's just now it's more fucking 1084 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,280 Speaker 2: headache for me for something that probably was just they 1085 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 2: fucked up and it should be the end of it. 1086 00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: I just you know, maybe right, but I A, you 1087 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,680 Speaker 1: might want to train your employees and just I don't 1088 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: even I wouldn't even know. 1089 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,440 Speaker 2: I'mna be honest, I wouldn't even do that. I wouldn't 1090 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 2: even ask for a Starbus gift card. I just would 1091 00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 2: be like, oh, they misheard me. If my name was 1092 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 2: anything close to that, I just they misheard me. I 1093 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,480 Speaker 2: know what happened here. Move the fuck on. 1094 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't fight that bad that, you know, Because 1095 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 1: the thing is, I've realized you have to pick and 1096 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 1: choose your battle. And we live in a society now 1097 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 1: where people go every battle is a battle, and you go. 1098 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,520 Speaker 2: No, I'm just like you ain't tired. 1099 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: That's the thing. Everybody, everything that, everything that happens to 1100 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 1: you can't be a battle. You're gonna exhaust yourself. Yeah. 1101 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 2: When I heard the story, I was like, okay, so 1102 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,520 Speaker 2: what happened, Because, to be honest, my immediate response was like, okay, 1103 00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 2: so some racists happened. What happened to this black woman? 1104 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 2: And then she's like, yeah, my name is Monique or 1105 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 2: something and they and I'm like, oh, they thought, okay, 1106 00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 2: so they heard you wrong and they fucked up. You know, 1107 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,560 Speaker 2: maybe this is the super clever white person that just 1108 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 2: had the time to be racist and wanted to throw 1109 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,680 Speaker 2: their whole career away at Starbucks. Maybe that is what happened. 1110 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 2: And I'm just under counting the percentage, but to me, 1111 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 2: it seemed pretty open and shit. 1112 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1113 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,720 Speaker 1: And also I understand, you know, different people have different 1114 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: levels of sensitivity, but it's one of those things where 1115 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 1: also our generation was kind of taught to let shit slide, 1116 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 1: like Okay, that's not that important. You kind of pick 1117 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 1: and choose, and. 1118 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,000 Speaker 2: You know, now we definitely were, but I think this 1119 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 2: is not the same. Okay, this is not a I'm 1120 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 2: letting it slide. This is not I think it's racist, 1121 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 2: and I'm letting it slide. This is me saying I 1122 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:56,400 Speaker 2: don't think it was racist. 1123 00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: Okay, that's completely different. 1124 00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 2: Yes, like and I would like I think everything after 1125 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,720 Speaker 2: that point was a waste of time. And you know, 1126 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 2: that's just my opinion on it. Obviously, that person that 1127 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 2: happened to doesn't agree, and that's fine. It's not like 1128 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 2: my agreeance is gonna make or break that story for 1129 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 2: that person. But when I heard the story, it was 1130 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 2: very obvious to me what happened, and then I was 1131 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 2: able to just be like, oh, okay, so I'm moving on. 1132 01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,560 Speaker 2: Apple says you got us white people very good. One 1133 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:26,959 Speaker 2: word use for everything is fantastic for communication and avoiding misunderstanding. 1134 01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 2: I often say I will m word the N word 1135 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 2: in the N word next to the N word, white 1136 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 2: people will understand. But this monkey discussion was good for me, 1137 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 2: as my taste in music is the whitest thing about 1138 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 2: my inner self. I liked the song Twisted Transistor by 1139 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 2: Corn and the video black musicians play the group members. 1140 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 2: One person called snoop the M word, and now I 1141 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 2: checked out, and it's monkey with a you and not 1142 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 2: monkey with a oh.

It's not much 1237 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,640 Speaker 2: fall off. This is just a little bit, and when 1238 01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 2: we do less episodes, it's even less fall off. But 1239 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,400 Speaker 2: like say, ten percent of people will listen to a 1240 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:54,800 Speaker 2: regular episode but not a feedback episode, And I always 1241 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,200 Speaker 2: feel like, man, you kind of fucked up. You missing out, 1242 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 2: Like if you enjoyed those other once, you will enjoy 1243 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 2: this one because you actually did all the work. You 1244 01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 2: know the conversations that are happening, and sometimes this is 1245 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 2: where some of the best funny stuff happens because we 1246 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 2: get to hear from our listeners and they bring new 1247 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,640 Speaker 2: perspectives or maybe you listening you thought, man, they really 1248 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,040 Speaker 2: missed the drop the ball on this. Well here's your 1249 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 2: chance to be like, Okay, well here's here's another perspective. 1250 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,960 Speaker 2: And I think also it's a great exercise in like 1251 01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 2: caring and empathy and stuff that happens between our listeners 1252 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 2: and ourselves. You listen to other people shows, you see 1253 01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 2: how they talk to the motherfuckers that are write in 1254 01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,720 Speaker 2: and shit, man, it's like, you know, like we give 1255 01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,440 Speaker 2: a fuck, And I think same thing with like certain interviews, 1256 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:45,000 Speaker 2: certain guests. You don't know what you're gonna hear because 1257 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 2: our interviews, to me are like hot fire. We fucking 1258 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,120 Speaker 2: do the research and talk to the people and give 1259 01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 2: them more in depth answers and questions than ninety nine 1260 01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 2: point nine percent of the fucking interviews out there, you know. 1261 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, but I hear you though, I'm just glad 1262 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 2: you gave it a chance. Eve He says, I always 1263 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,400 Speaker 2: thought Lizo made music that empowers women, Black women, particularly 1264 01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 2: based on her videos. But when you're black and you 1265 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,439 Speaker 2: get to a certain level of fame where your white 1266 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 2: fan base it comes as large or larger than you're black, 1267 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 2: when jealousy comes into play to some extent, even though 1268 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 2: the reason a lot of talented black artists don't crossovers 1269 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 2: because the industry is racist and don't support black art 1270 01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,000 Speaker 2: to the same degree as they do white entertainers. 1271 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 1: Right. 1272 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 2: I also think to some degree there may be resentment 1273 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 2: towards Lizo because she doesn't fit the typical mode of 1274 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,720 Speaker 2: mega superstar because she's a big woman. Fat phobia seems 1275 01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,600 Speaker 2: to be one of the quietly accept the forms of 1276 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 2: discrimination because people can hide their fat phobia under the 1277 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 2: gouds of caring about a person's health. 1278 01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 1: Yes, and it's not real for a lot of people. 1279 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you mean not real? 1280 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,480 Speaker 1: Like you know, they're claiming health. It's like, no, you 1281 01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,280 Speaker 1: actually don't actually give a fuck. You're just saying that 1282 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 1: because that's the thing to say, right when it's a 1283 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 1: difference between you, quote unquote caring about somebody's health and 1284 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,400 Speaker 1: you're just saying that as a slight Again, it's them 1285 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 1: because of the way they look and the thing is 1286 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,439 Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with health. There are people 1287 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,440 Speaker 1: of all different sizes that are healthy, and therese people 1288 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 1: of all different sizes that have blood person how cholestrameent 1289 01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:13,680 Speaker 1: and that has nothing to do with the world. 1290 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 2: It's personal to them, right like it's between them and 1291 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 2: they doctor and whatever their goals are in life and shit. 1292 01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,799 Speaker 2: Like I just always find it funny that people think 1293 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,080 Speaker 2: the person who is fat and at the center of 1294 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 2: all this attention has not thought about it, like they 1295 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:34,600 Speaker 2: probably thought about it. They have whatever conclusions, whatever mentality 1296 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,759 Speaker 2: they have about it. But the other thing with Lizzo 1297 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 2: is that some of it was artists being jealous of 1298 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:45,680 Speaker 2: Lizzo and her success. I'll still I was also disappointed 1299 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,720 Speaker 2: in so many people when I think it was Ari 1300 01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,120 Speaker 2: Lennox that shit it on Lizo for win a Soul 1301 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 2: Train Award. And then you saw so many particularly black 1302 01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:59,000 Speaker 2: women that were fans of Ari Lennox just come out 1303 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:02,240 Speaker 2: and just avis Lizzo like she wasn't shit, like she 1304 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 2: was just some propped up, untalented black woman, Like all 1305 01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,720 Speaker 2: the stuff that she represented, all the positive stuff, it 1306 01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:12,040 Speaker 2: went immediately into like she was some type of racial sellout, 1307 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 2: and it wasn't everybody, but it was enough people that 1308 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,679 Speaker 2: it was given serious consideration. People had to write about 1309 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,400 Speaker 2: it and stuff, and it was like, damn man, all 1310 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,080 Speaker 2: she did was win. She didn't say nothing bad, she 1311 01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 2: didn't do nothing wrong. Like, I don't know. I think 1312 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 2: that's part of just my dogma is I tried not 1313 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,200 Speaker 2: to attach negative feelings and emotions to people that just 1314 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,680 Speaker 2: haven't done anything right. There's too many people that have 1315 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 2: literally done and said the stuff that people get mad about. 1316 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,519 Speaker 2: My yeah, like if you want to be mad, there's 1317 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 2: so many people that are jumping to the front of 1318 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 2: the line like please be mad at me, and Lizzo's 1319 01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,559 Speaker 2: not one of them. You know, this is not related, 1320 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 2: but who knows when we'll get to talk about this. 1321 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:56,280 Speaker 2: But there's a clip of Trevor Noah going around where 1322 01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 2: it was his last day on The Daily Show. He 1323 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,360 Speaker 2: took like a couple minutes to just think back women, 1324 01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:08,760 Speaker 2: specifically for his show The Personal Life his uh success 1325 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 2: challenging him and him and saying like black women are 1326 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 2: the women I listen to the most, or the people 1327 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,640 Speaker 2: I listen to the most, because in America, they're the 1328 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,000 Speaker 2: ones that can't funk around to find out and he's 1329 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 2: naming them by name, and then he kind of ran 1330 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 2: like obviously TV show you don't have all the time. 1331 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 2: But it's like he had to stop himself because he 1332 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,840 Speaker 2: could have kept naming them. And it's something that's always 1333 01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 2: struck me about Trevor No because he does all these 1334 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,639 Speaker 2: interviews and to me, he's the best interview on TV 1335 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 2: because he reads people's books and talk to the research. Yeah, 1336 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,200 Speaker 2: if he doesn't read them, he does it. He makes 1337 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,960 Speaker 2: it look like he does so well. That is it's 1338 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 2: summarize of it. It's always surprising to the guest. And 1339 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:46,880 Speaker 2: I watched because I watched the show all the time, 1340 01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:52,599 Speaker 2: and under his stewardship, they've had the most black women 1341 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,479 Speaker 2: and black and brown people in general, but most black 1342 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 2: women ever, like not under John Stewart anybody before that. 1343 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 2: And he and young girl black people and stuff, and 1344 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,160 Speaker 2: he really do listen and relate and then within like 1345 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:09,360 Speaker 2: a day I saw somebody well if he uh. I 1346 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 2: don't like it when people think black women but they 1347 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,679 Speaker 2: not dating a black woman or whatever, or they don't 1348 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,680 Speaker 2: date black women, which is a big which is a 1349 01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,920 Speaker 2: big thing that people say. That's very misleading because there's 1350 01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:24,559 Speaker 2: the there's the don't date black women, and there's the 1351 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,000 Speaker 2: we haven't publicly seen them with a black woman, or 1352 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,120 Speaker 2: they haven't been a long term relationship with a famous 1353 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 2: black or whatever, and then people will they Basically it's 1354 01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,160 Speaker 2: a way of assuming the worst. It's a way of 1355 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 2: you're hinting towards like he is racist against black women 1356 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:43,720 Speaker 2: sexually on some John Mayer type shit. He just has 1357 01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,240 Speaker 2: never said it and would never say it. But but 1358 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 2: clearly everything you know whatever, And it's the measuring the macro. 1359 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,720 Speaker 2: It's the measuring the macro versus the micro, right, it's 1360 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 2: the So anyway, all that to say, like, but Trevor Noah, 1361 01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 2: just like Lizzo, I have never heard him say anything 1362 01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:04,680 Speaker 2: or wrong about black women, not even in like a joke. 1363 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:05,880 Speaker 1: And as long as that's the. 1364 01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 2: But it's a sliding gold post, is my point. So 1365 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,559 Speaker 2: the way I feel about Lizzo is how I feel 1366 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:16,840 Speaker 2: about Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Noah is where it's like, did 1367 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 2: he say something or did he do something? Didn't know. 1368 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,760 Speaker 2: I refuse to participate in the negative part of this 1369 01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 2: thing where I have to pre dislike this person for 1370 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,759 Speaker 2: something I can't really prove that they did or feel 1371 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 2: or said. It's just me deciding this motherfucker ain't shit. Uh. 1372 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,599 Speaker 2: I think that's the weird part. And I think that's 1373 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,479 Speaker 2: the negativity I'm always fighting against in my own heart, 1374 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,160 Speaker 2: in my own brain, because that's not really of me. 1375 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 2: And I need a clean, healthy mental space. So I 1376 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,120 Speaker 2: have to set out boundaries in my brain of like, 1377 01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,320 Speaker 2: I don't if I don't know for a fact that 1378 01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 2: this person they did the same thing with Michael B. 1379 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:57,000 Speaker 2: Jordan Tilly dated Laurie Harvey, which I don't know if 1380 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,640 Speaker 2: they feel like they bullied him into that or what. 1381 01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,920 Speaker 2: But to me, that thing was always kind of ridiculous. 1382 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:02,519 Speaker 2: It was. 1383 01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: It was, and a lot of times these are people 1384 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,600 Speaker 1: insecurity is just shining on both sides, and you know, 1385 01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous. And the majority of black women, because 1386 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm a black woman, y'all, M give a fuck who 1387 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:16,800 Speaker 1: you put your dick in. Guys, as long as you 1388 01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,000 Speaker 1: don't come out towards us, we're good. 1389 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 2: I think that's true, and I hope that's true. It's 1390 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,000 Speaker 2: just that when this stuff happens, I always go, wait 1391 01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:28,600 Speaker 2: a minute, what is the real gobos? Because I'm not 1392 01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 2: saying this is not some other people saying it's black women. 1393 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 2: I saw say this and retweeted and all this shit. 1394 01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,800 Speaker 2: So it is like, a is that true or is 1395 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,040 Speaker 2: that not true? You know what I'm saying, because this 1396 01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,880 Speaker 2: motherfucker has never It's not that he's never even said 1397 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,960 Speaker 2: anything bad. Trevor Noah's never not said anything good. You 1398 01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I'm not arguing with you. I'm 1399 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,000 Speaker 2: just saying what I saw, which is like I would 1400 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 2: imagine the solent majority of people is like, yeah, you 1401 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,600 Speaker 2: know what, I don't care either way, But it's just 1402 01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,640 Speaker 2: always interesting when it does trend or does come up 1403 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,720 Speaker 2: and you're like, but that dude, isn't what y'all said. 1404 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,560 Speaker 2: Y'all get mad about you know. Sometimes you see it 1405 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,479 Speaker 2: and you're like, of course, yeah, that motherfucker said some wild, 1406 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,240 Speaker 2: fucked up, flagrant shit. And then it's people where you're 1407 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 2: just like, wait, Michael be Jordan, what did he do? 1408 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So anyway, the comments on 1409 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,120 Speaker 2: the YouTube, let's get to those real quick. As Carter 1410 01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:24,600 Speaker 2: Thomas says, there was a show on HBO that was 1411 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,840 Speaker 2: about the fight to get the abortion bill passed. Can't 1412 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:28,360 Speaker 2: remember what it was called, but it was last year. 1413 01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,240 Speaker 2: I think any who, the main white woman that was 1414 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,799 Speaker 2: against the bill felt that feminism was the real problem 1415 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 2: and set a set back to women, that the so 1416 01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 2: called patriarchy was just the right way, and trying to 1417 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:39,880 Speaker 2: make women equal to men or at the same level 1418 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,679 Speaker 2: was actually going to be the downfall of women, obviously 1419 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,519 Speaker 2: white women. So of course the white women's family didn't 1420 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,040 Speaker 2: believe in patriarchy or that it was harmful because in 1421 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,960 Speaker 2: conservative circles gender rows are natural and necessary. They are, 1422 01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,640 Speaker 2: at least a few I know, they wrap themselves in 1423 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 2: those rolls and act as if it actually gives them 1424 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,760 Speaker 2: more freedom. I think that's very true, and I think 1425 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,000 Speaker 2: white women obviously aren't the only ones that can fall 1426 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,200 Speaker 2: for that. Black men fall for that all the time, 1427 01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,760 Speaker 2: Latin X people fall for that. Latino people follow that 1428 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:12,680 Speaker 2: all the time. Yeah, it's just people. If you can 1429 01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:16,480 Speaker 2: get access to this cloak of white privilege or patriarchy 1430 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 2: and you think you can make it work for yourself, 1431 01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,519 Speaker 2: it's very tempting for people to just throw every throw 1432 01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:26,120 Speaker 2: everything else out of the way. Like nope, my mom says, 1433 01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:28,720 Speaker 2: looel let the monopoly about the Monopoly game, do not 1434 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 2: pass go go straight to jail. Definitely not taking a 1435 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:36,880 Speaker 2: packing to go plate. Kevin says, I'm not a Lizo 1436 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,759 Speaker 2: fan Lizo music fan, but I appreciate her background in music. 1437 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,720 Speaker 2: We know the society sees black women as overly sexualized. 1438 01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 2: She doesn't need to show her backside to get attention. 1439 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 2: Let her background in music shine and show young Black 1440 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 2: girls there are there's more than showing off their bodies 1441 01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:56,280 Speaker 2: to get attention. Kevin h who I just gave a 1442 01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 2: thumbs down on his comment. 1443 01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,320 Speaker 1: Yes, but you don't say this about nobody else out 1444 01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:00,639 Speaker 1: of here. 1445 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, I always find it interesting and I go to Rihanna, 1446 01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,120 Speaker 2: but it literally could be any other black women. We 1447 01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,719 Speaker 2: do not have a problem with these other black women 1448 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,559 Speaker 2: showing out their sexuality in that way. But let's say 1449 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,719 Speaker 2: that Kevin has a problem with all black women showing 1450 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,680 Speaker 2: off their sexuality because of the young black girls. But 1451 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,920 Speaker 2: that's for some shit for you to get over. To 1452 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,920 Speaker 2: be honest, a grown woman shouldn't have to like worry 1453 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 2: about the some other people's children like I'm their mother, 1454 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:30,880 Speaker 2: I'm rapping, And we definitely don't apply this standard to 1455 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,880 Speaker 2: the men that often you know, Nigga's been rapped about 1456 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 2: killing each other and jury and fucking women and all 1457 01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:42,000 Speaker 2: kinds of shit without this concern trolling for years and 1458 01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,120 Speaker 2: so it's just some real corny shit for Kevin s. 1459 01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1460 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,120 Speaker 1: I know.

At no point did I go, well, Dad, 1475 01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I can't listen to you. I was 1476 01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,719 Speaker 2: listening to Easy and he said, like, no, that's crazy 1477 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,920 Speaker 2: Me for Me says partnership is a very often used 1478 01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:46,080 Speaker 2: shipping option for many resellers eBay, Amazon and small businesses, 1479 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,280 Speaker 2: so the company is legit, but that was clearly shady. 1480 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,559 Speaker 2: My mom says, great show, very informal conversation on mental health, 1481 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,880 Speaker 2: institrating on men. It's imperative for our male kind of 1482 01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 2: parts to evolve to become a better version for themselves 1483 01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:03,960 Speaker 2: in our society. I agree. I agree. Then on Spotify's 1484 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,599 Speaker 2: the poll, and I don't think I said the results 1485 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:11,320 Speaker 2: on the site. Thirty eight percent on our site are 1486 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:15,759 Speaker 2: saying yes the situationships, sixty two percent say no, thirty 1487 01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:21,080 Speaker 2: four percent on Spotify and sixty six percent respectively, So 1488 01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:28,200 Speaker 2: less yay's on Spotify by a small percentage. And the 1489 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,599 Speaker 2: Q and A was what will he do next? Marvin 1490 01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 2: W says, I spit my damn coffee out when you 1491 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:36,760 Speaker 2: said that. Rob My secretary looked in on me because 1492 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:40,360 Speaker 2: I was coughing and laughing. I figured you'd have a 1493 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 2: secretary being at your own Spotify. On Oh Heaven, Kevin says, 1494 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 2: I love regular news beats, and they really come all 1495 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:49,960 Speaker 2: the way together. When Karen starts freestyling some lyrics on 1496 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 2: that you sound great, care and you crack me up. 1497 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:53,360 Speaker 2: Another episode, as. 1498 01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 1: Always, yay, I think I'm terrible, but yay. 1499 01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:59,040 Speaker 2: Another person said he wasn't stalking that woman, he wanted 1500 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:04,160 Speaker 2: to get next to her. Sandy says, in my Roseanne, 1501 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,719 Speaker 2: I thought she said my name is monkey. 1502 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:09,360 Speaker 1: After ANX was. 1503 01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 2: Hit, Raphael says, first, I don't appreciate being associated with 1504 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 2: basic scams. I go for the bearns. I listened to 1505 01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:19,200 Speaker 2: DJ College motivational speeches. That's why I'm opening mansa Musa 1506 01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 2: and shun shipping in LLC and Charlotte a sap. Well, 1507 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:27,160 Speaker 2: maybe DJ College is stand in shoe closet Jus says. 1508 01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:31,840 Speaker 2: Doctor Uzzo says, uh, he might have to tough out 1509 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 2: this next bid in prison. He does like a bit 1510 01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:37,559 Speaker 2: of a rough neck, so I think he'll be able 1511 01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 2: to handle it. Episode twenty six forty one, calling the 1512 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 2: prime out. We got five comments on this one, and 1513 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,760 Speaker 2: let's go to him, all right. Appia says, we pay 1514 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:54,760 Speaker 2: a trash bill. We are the owners of our home. 1515 01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,320 Speaker 2: That sounds pretty bragging, but I don't know how to 1516 01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,439 Speaker 2: tell her it's a semi attached house. So to a 1517 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 2: second house to sound less like a rich person. A 1518 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,640 Speaker 2: renter doesn't pay for the trash directly, but indirectly for utilities. 1519 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 2: Pretty sure this also is how it goes in the US. 1520 01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,960 Speaker 2: If not, sorry America, I don't know. I don't have 1521 01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 2: a house. 1522 01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,040 Speaker 1: There's lots of rules of regulations I know here in 1523 01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 1: North Carolina. Depends on if you're in the county and 1524 01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,160 Speaker 1: the city and things like that. You get certain fees. 1525 01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:22,599 Speaker 1: But like I said, it probably very prestate. 1526 01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,360 Speaker 2: J Full says about the Yell lawsuit. When I was 1527 01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 2: doing a PhD in economics at Cornell, another Ivy League school, 1528 01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,919 Speaker 2: I started to experience my first symptoms of bipolar disorder. 1529 01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:35,360 Speaker 2: Cornell is an extremely stressful school and then isolated town 1530 01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 2: that gets snow six months a year, and it's well 1531 01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,599 Speaker 2: known for a student suicide. While I was there, we 1532 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:42,720 Speaker 2: had so many suicides one school year that we had 1533 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,760 Speaker 2: prison style fencing and twenty four hour police patrols on 1534 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,519 Speaker 2: every bridge on campus. It was not uncommon to have 1535 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,760 Speaker 2: to take a detour home because somebody jumped into the 1536 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 2: gorge during the fifty minutes you were in class, no exaggeration. 1537 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 2: This took a toll on my mental health, but the 1538 01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:58,800 Speaker 2: Medical League policies were so restricted that I couldn't take 1539 01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 2: away time from school without losing all my funding and 1540 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,360 Speaker 2: possibly not be able to return. This is also pre Obamacare, 1541 01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 2: so mental health coverage was not well covered under our 1542 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 2: student health insurance. So not only were the mental health 1543 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,640 Speaker 2: services on complete campus trash, I couldn't really lead to 1544 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,479 Speaker 2: get help elsewhere. Ultimately, I decided to drop out for 1545 01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,960 Speaker 2: good once a guy my PhD program committed suicide. The 1546 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,920 Speaker 2: suicides hit too close to home. It's sad to see 1547 01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,880 Speaker 2: that not much has changed in ten plus years. I 1548 01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 2: do think the Universe university have a responsibility to provide 1549 01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:32,000 Speaker 2: generous mental health resources and policies, especially the schools with 1550 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,400 Speaker 2: as much money as these ivies. If these schools are 1551 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,680 Speaker 2: going to recap reap the social capital of their vigorous reputations, 1552 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 2: they need to invest in mental health resources and policies 1553 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,400 Speaker 2: that help the students succeed. I think it is in 1554 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,840 Speaker 2: Yale's best interest to settle and invest heavily in resources 1555 01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:51,320 Speaker 2: and policy. Overall, it'll be good pr and it helps everyone. 1556 01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 2: More successful graduates equal more alumni donations, so even if 1557 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 2: they do it selfishly, it'll help the students. Yeah, that's 1558 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 2: definitely interesting that they're Yeah, like I like, I think 1559 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:07,760 Speaker 2: the students are fighting for something good and I hope 1560 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 2: they're able to quote unquote when and I think the 1561 01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:15,760 Speaker 2: rigor of these universities and the way that some of 1562 01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,320 Speaker 2: them take pride in the fact that like we watch 1563 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:21,360 Speaker 2: people out and I'm sure they wouldn't say they take 1564 01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:26,160 Speaker 2: pride and people obviously dying by suicide, but there's definitely 1565 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:31,000 Speaker 2: a we're we're tough and that's why that's that's why 1566 01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,719 Speaker 2: we're weird. We're the best degree, Yeah, we're the best 1567 01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:38,000 Speaker 2: because we're tough. And it's like, okay, but do you 1568 01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,800 Speaker 2: have to be tough to be the best? Like, it's 1569 01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:43,679 Speaker 2: just interesting, Sean says, been thinking that I could add 1570 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,840 Speaker 2: what I could add As a tenured assistant professor at 1571 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:48,599 Speaker 2: Japanese university, I worked at three of the top four 1572 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,960 Speaker 2: university in the Kinki region, and they are they all 1573 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,679 Speaker 2: have a limited amount of mental health support. Unfortunately, it's 1574 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,000 Speaker 2: not well advertising administration is not allowed to tell the 1575 01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,800 Speaker 2: teaching staff about students with no mental health issues because 1576 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,360 Speaker 2: of obviously issues. I particularly understand mental health statement in 1577 01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,360 Speaker 2: Japan is no joke, but it's kind of hard to 1578 01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 2: offer support when being kept in the dark. The one 1579 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:12,000 Speaker 2: excession was, yeah, that's that is interesting that kids are like, yeah, 1580 01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:13,679 Speaker 2: what is the line net where it's like we want 1581 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,639 Speaker 2: our staff and we want people to support us. At 1582 01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 2: the same time, it's like you're right to your privacy. 1583 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 2: How they're gonna be some students who don't want teachers 1584 01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:26,639 Speaker 2: to know, and. 1585 01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:30,200 Speaker 1: It's a catch twenty two. And you know, if you 1586 01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,760 Speaker 1: know the school does this, there's gonna have to be 1587 01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,200 Speaker 1: a lot of heavy rules, regulations and lines. It's gonna 1588 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,600 Speaker 1: be like the student has to initiate it, because we 1589 01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:42,240 Speaker 1: can't initiate this because, like you say, some students they 1590 01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,360 Speaker 1: you know, they might be getting help outside. They might 1591 01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 1: not want nobody to know, you know, all of a sudden, 1592 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,400 Speaker 1: their classmates, there's other people might treat them differently. And 1593 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:52,439 Speaker 1: then then you did with the lawsuit of discrimination because 1594 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 1: of their mental illness and things like that. Like those 1595 01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,120 Speaker 1: like their company, those are things that nobody thinks about, 1596 01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 1: but the company has to think about the things. 1597 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:05,240 Speaker 2: He says. I parsonally Oh, he says, the one session 1598 01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 2: was when I was teaching special classes, and he can 1599 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 2: Maury Hikiko Moury acute social withdrawal students. I knew that situation. 1600 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:15,680 Speaker 2: I could help them when they showed up too long. 1601 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,520 Speaker 2: Didn't read deal with mental health academic institution. It's difficult 1602 01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 2: him deal says so. Another perspective on this yellow mental 1603 01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 2: health situation. People in a college of mental health issues 1604 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:26,800 Speaker 2: they knew about and hear from the college because of 1605 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,719 Speaker 2: the image they need to portray to get into the college. 1606 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 2: It happens all the time because mental illness is still stigmatized. Likewise, 1607 01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 2: people are age eighteen to twenty four more likely to 1608 01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 2: develop mental health issues while in college. Please look it up. 1609 01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:40,439 Speaker 2: College ain't easy and life don't stop lifing. Yeah, I 1610 01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:43,599 Speaker 2: think a lot of binge drinking is people's mental health 1611 01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:47,960 Speaker 2: issues showing up in a very stressful situation in college 1612 01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,920 Speaker 2: for the first time, and we think it's just college life, like, oh, 1613 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:53,800 Speaker 2: you get drunk, it's just what we do. And it's 1614 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 2: like that's someone's coping mechanism and probably not a healthy one. 1615 01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,719 Speaker 1: For various different way things. A lot of it's sadness, 1616 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:02,840 Speaker 1: a lot of this depression, a lot of it's mental health, 1617 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:04,760 Speaker 1: a lot of it's missing family and friends, a lot 1618 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 1: of them being alone quote unquote on your own for 1619 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 1: the first time. A lot of these factors, uh not always, 1620 01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,479 Speaker 1: but factor into a lot of the beings drinking that 1621 01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:14,000 Speaker 1: happens on college campuses. 1622 01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:17,400 Speaker 2: But colleges ain't mental health treatment facilities. Colleges are businesses, 1623 01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,559 Speaker 2: and as much as people want to call some of 1624 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,000 Speaker 2: them bashes of liberal thinking or places that care about students, 1625 01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 2: blah blah blah, they are businesses. Their businesses education not 1626 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 2: treating mental health, and there is a privilege associated with 1627 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:32,160 Speaker 2: being able to access one, regardless of your sees. I've 1628 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,960 Speaker 2: had access to mental health service in college that I 1629 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,960 Speaker 2: never could have accessed before college. Paying for therapy now 1630 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,400 Speaker 2: is a working adult can be challenged. So I don't 1631 01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 2: understand how people can expect these businesses of education to 1632 01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,759 Speaker 2: be more than they are. Also, where's the for scope 1633 01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,880 Speaker 2: of humanity here? If a person enters college and tries 1634 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:50,680 Speaker 2: to kill and doesn't succeed, how are they or I 1635 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,080 Speaker 2: guess tries to kill themselves and doesn't succeed, how are 1636 01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 2: they going ready to go back to class? How are 1637 01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,080 Speaker 2: they ready to just roll back to a dorm room 1638 01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,680 Speaker 2: and spend the time necessary to work through an attempted suicide. 1639 01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,040 Speaker 2: Who's going to watch and monitor this person in twenty 1640 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,440 Speaker 2: four to seven to make sure they don't make another attempt? 1641 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 2: How do you stay at a college and not do 1642 01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:11,080 Speaker 2: college because of your mental health? What are the me well, 1643 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:14,679 Speaker 2: so some of these questions you're asking, I'm not sure 1644 01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 2: that that's even what they want. Like it sounds like 1645 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:21,760 Speaker 2: people are saying they would not mind the idea of 1646 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:25,240 Speaker 2: you have to go and take a break, possibly, but 1647 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,040 Speaker 2: then they don't want to be penalized upon re entry. 1648 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:31,000 Speaker 2: They were likely so like I did go to a facility, 1649 01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:34,439 Speaker 2: or I did do whatever, and now I'm at a 1650 01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:37,719 Speaker 2: place where I am or feel more healthier. I shouldn't 1651 01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 2: have lost all my funding. I shouldn't be penalized. I 1652 01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,280 Speaker 2: shouldn't be knocked for classes. Maybe if I'm in a 1653 01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,599 Speaker 2: mental health facility, I'm not able to quote unquote keep 1654 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,200 Speaker 2: up with my work. That should be okay, and then 1655 01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:52,599 Speaker 2: I should be allowed back in. I think it feels 1656 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 2: like a very Republican mindset. Not you, but just a 1657 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,760 Speaker 2: lot of people's approach to stuff. There's always this idea 1658 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,439 Speaker 2: of someone's trying to get old, and that if we 1659 01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,280 Speaker 2: allow a person to get over like someone is just 1660 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,320 Speaker 2: a lazy or bad student and so they claim mental 1661 01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,600 Speaker 2: health to extend their STAD in college somehow. And it 1662 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,599 Speaker 2: always makes me feel weird because it's like, I would 1663 01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,559 Speaker 2: love to know the percentages agree, Like how many people 1664 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 2: are we putting in a weird mental health limbo to 1665 01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:24,800 Speaker 2: stop Possibly a handful, if not zero, people that would 1666 01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,600 Speaker 2: just game the system. That's always interesting to me. 1667 01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:31,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, the percentages are solow, you know, And this is 1668 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,760 Speaker 1: why for a lot of people, they waste all this 1669 01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:39,080 Speaker 1: money and trying to quote unquote catch these crooks when 1670 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,240 Speaker 1: people go, well, the money you invest in to catch 1671 01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:42,880 Speaker 1: them is to waste the money, and it's the money 1672 01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,200 Speaker 1: you actually could have been funding your system. And that 1673 01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:47,880 Speaker 1: one percent of the three people is not worth you 1674 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 1: quote unquote, making it twice as hard for everybody involved 1675 01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:53,040 Speaker 1: because you want to get this one or two percent, 1676 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:54,799 Speaker 1: and a lot of times you don't catch them, bitches, 1677 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,080 Speaker 1: you're wasting time. 1678 01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,040 Speaker 2: What about mental health of people that don't know the 1679 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 2: person personally but are affected by someone their attempt to 1680 01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:05,719 Speaker 2: kill themselves. What about the people who themselves are survivors suicide. 1681 01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:09,040 Speaker 2: What about the person of the people who most often 1682 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:11,439 Speaker 2: other students that may have found that person that tried 1683 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 2: to kill themselves a call, and now I want one 1684 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,519 Speaker 2: services to save their life. What about their mental health? 1685 01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:17,519 Speaker 2: What if you're the person roommate, how do you just 1686 01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 2: return to the room with them or without them? Well, 1687 01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:24,160 Speaker 2: oftentimes I think there's even clauses for the roommates and 1688 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:27,200 Speaker 2: the people stuff like that too. I ask all these 1689 01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 2: quaches because I thought about this with college going kids, 1690 01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:32,639 Speaker 2: what's crazy to me? And some colleges can't disclose personal 1691 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 2: information to me, even as a person paying tuition without 1692 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,280 Speaker 2: my kids express permission because of the Family Education Rights 1693 01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:42,320 Speaker 2: and Privacy Act. And when I learned about a kid 1694 01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:44,680 Speaker 2: from my kid, or email from their school, or on 1695 01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,120 Speaker 2: the news that a kid killed themselves, I'm sadden First. 1696 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,639 Speaker 2: Then I wonder who knew, I mean, really knew about 1697 01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,559 Speaker 2: this person mental health challenges. I bet money every time 1698 01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,360 Speaker 2: on the parents and guardian and some close friends way 1699 01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,960 Speaker 2: before I would believe a college knew a thing. College 1700 01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:01,720 Speaker 2: kids can be so well. I'll say this though that 1701 01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:05,000 Speaker 2: might be true, But also in some cases when kids 1702 01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:09,160 Speaker 2: are leaving home, it is possible that the college and 1703 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,759 Speaker 2: the people around them would know stuff that the parents 1704 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:14,280 Speaker 2: and the people before they went to college did not. 1705 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:16,960 Speaker 2: You know, I think I saw that a lot where 1706 01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:20,600 Speaker 2: like kids were almost forced to either hide or conform 1707 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,599 Speaker 2: or whatever, you know, and then they get to school 1708 01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,120 Speaker 2: and they able to like get some other alternatives. Sometimes 1709 01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 2: you're even able to see things that you didn't understand 1710 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 2: were unhealthy or bad because they were so normalized that 1711 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,040 Speaker 2: maybe your parents don't even know they're bad, you know, 1712 01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,080 Speaker 2: they like, oh, that's just how it is. You just 1713 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:39,519 Speaker 2: got to pray on it or something. And you get 1714 01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,519 Speaker 2: to college and somebody's like, no, that's not normal. You 1715 01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:44,120 Speaker 2: need therapy or you need to talk to someone about that. 1716 01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:49,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, and also the thing is these questions that 1717 01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:56,760 Speaker 1: you're asking, you know, a college to do quote unquote, 1718 01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, those are things that the college would have 1719 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:01,720 Speaker 1: to discuss. You know, a lot of colleges are like, 1720 01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, we can do things up to a certain extent. 1721 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,599 Speaker 1: And my thing is, there are a lot of people 1722 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:11,200 Speaker 1: with mental issues that don't quote unquote show or exhibit 1723 01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:14,360 Speaker 1: mental issues, and so everybody, you know, so it might 1724 01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 1: be one of those things where something happened and they 1725 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,120 Speaker 1: might not have told nobody, They might not have said anything. 1726 01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:19,840 Speaker 1: They might not have come in on anything, because some 1727 01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:24,519 Speaker 1: people actually really do keep things to themselves and they 1728 01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,519 Speaker 1: don't share these things. So it's not always that people 1729 01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,720 Speaker 1: see the signs. Sometimes people don't see the signs. 1730 01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, And honestly, we're asking it's a quagmar 1731 01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 2: with we're talking in very broad strokes, but a lot 1732 01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:45,439 Speaker 2: of these problems are very individualized and not necessarily one 1733 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 2: size fits all for some people, like like just the 1734 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:52,680 Speaker 2: disclosure of privacy thing. For some people that might be 1735 01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 2: the trigger and for other people that might be what 1736 01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,040 Speaker 2: brings in the help. And the other thing too is 1737 01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,240 Speaker 2: and I've I never know one hundred percent the best 1738 01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:07,120 Speaker 2: way to discuss these things, but we always discuss this 1739 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:12,439 Speaker 2: from an idea that we can solve the idea of 1740 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,640 Speaker 2: someone wanting to take their own life or wanting to 1741 01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:20,000 Speaker 2: die by suicide. And I think that is part of 1742 01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:25,240 Speaker 2: the problem. And because once we once we act like 1743 01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:29,040 Speaker 2: that is the default, we also didn't start feeling like 1744 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:33,720 Speaker 2: we should blame someone. And that's why you get all 1745 01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:38,240 Speaker 2: the check on your strong friends and the you know, 1746 01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:41,240 Speaker 2: when someone dies of a drug overdose, people started finding 1747 01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:42,720 Speaker 2: the other people that knew them to be like it's 1748 01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:45,840 Speaker 2: your fault, like there's something in us that wants to 1749 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:48,360 Speaker 2: assign blame. And in this case, whether it be the college, 1750 01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:51,559 Speaker 2: their friends, their parents, there's like a blame that has 1751 01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:53,880 Speaker 2: to be going around, And a lot of these questions 1752 01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,799 Speaker 2: really are more about who are we gonna blame. College 1753 01:31:57,840 --> 01:31:59,439 Speaker 2: kids be so afraid to tell a friend to go 1754 01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:01,559 Speaker 2: get professional help or say this too much for me 1755 01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:04,600 Speaker 2: to handle because of the way it feels seems intrinsically 1756 01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:07,599 Speaker 2: to them. They want to be supportive with no professional 1757 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:11,760 Speaker 2: background in therapy or mental health. Yes, colleges, yeah, yes, 1758 01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:14,080 Speaker 2: colleges can be in the know about kids mental health, 1759 01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,560 Speaker 2: but only if the person is using college services or 1760 01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 2: people are worried about their safety. But I think in general, 1761 01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:21,439 Speaker 2: colleges find out shit when it's too late related to 1762 01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:24,000 Speaker 2: mental illness. And this is because I believe anybody can 1763 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,759 Speaker 2: develop mental health issues at any time. People don't normally 1764 01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:30,080 Speaker 2: go advertising they're thinking about killing themselves. Just like no 1765 01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,479 Speaker 2: one wakes up and says, yep, my mental illness is 1766 01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:34,960 Speaker 2: just about ready. I say all that and ask all 1767 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,400 Speaker 2: these questions because there are no reasonable answers or solutions. 1768 01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:40,200 Speaker 2: Mental illness is real and very difficult to manage me 1769 01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,360 Speaker 2: or address. I guess manage or address for me. I 1770 01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:48,120 Speaker 2: accept financial resources outside myself, especially my own, are limited 1771 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:51,240 Speaker 2: for my kids well being. Sometimes college is an educational 1772 01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:53,280 Speaker 2: place with limits, but I want my kids college to 1773 01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:56,000 Speaker 2: have equitable access to all college things for their well being. 1774 01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:57,160 Speaker 2: Life be lifeing. 1775 01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:01,040 Speaker 1: That's true. That's true, and it's also balls down to 1776 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:05,679 Speaker 1: And it's not to sound mean or cruel, but the 1777 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,919 Speaker 1: expectations of what parents have for college and what colleges 1778 01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:13,360 Speaker 1: can actually and weakly do are two different things. Yeah, 1779 01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of parents send their 1780 01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:17,920 Speaker 1: kids off to school thinking the college is going to 1781 01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 1: be exactly like home, and baby it is not. 1782 01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, and also home ain't always good for people. Agreed, 1783 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:26,040 Speaker 2: they might not be coming from a great home situation. 1784 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:29,240 Speaker 2: Eve East, But I for I'm not knocking him down. 1785 01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:31,799 Speaker 2: I think all these questions are very valid, good questions. 1786 01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,520 Speaker 2: I agree it, And it just shows you the complexity 1787 01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,599 Speaker 2: of what the school I have to deal with. And 1788 01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 2: it's easy for us to cherry pick apart the questions 1789 01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:43,000 Speaker 2: be like it's this, But to be honest, it's never 1790 01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:46,240 Speaker 2: just one thing for everybody. There's gonna be some people 1791 01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:49,679 Speaker 2: that it's like, Yeah, while we're just missing this thing, 1792 01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 2: it's affecting this other person, and we're meant we're missing 1793 01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:58,320 Speaker 2: the thing that that's bothering them. So great points. Eve says, 1794 01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:00,719 Speaker 2: I think the people who continue to get yeah platform 1795 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,639 Speaker 2: to spew his bullshit is even more complicit than Kanye 1796 01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:05,559 Speaker 2: at this point because they know he's unwell and just 1797 01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:08,840 Speaker 2: using for clicks or I've been on that. Yeah.

Unfortunately, Kanye Will continues downwards fire or because he 1829 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 2: has a prosecution complex, and I believe in his mind 1830 01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:46,240 Speaker 2: that the more people turn against him, the more he 1831 01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:47,960 Speaker 2: feels like he's right, So he's gonna keep it up. 1832 01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:49,719 Speaker 2: That's exactly what I think it's happened in his brain. 1833 01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:52,920 Speaker 2: And no, it doesn't make sense because he's mentally ill 1834 01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:59,040 Speaker 2: and he's in this very unchecked, untherapied, unmedicated, and I 1835 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:03,679 Speaker 2: haven't heard anything new or interesting about Kanye in months 1836 01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:08,960 Speaker 2: now and if not years, And I don't know if 1837 01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,680 Speaker 2: it's a fatigue thing or just we're addicted to like 1838 01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:16,360 Speaker 2: needing somebody to dislike. But everything he does that people 1839 01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:20,519 Speaker 2: find disgusting, I'm like, yeah, but you kind of keep going, 1840 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:24,160 Speaker 2: but come smell this, but come smell this man don't distinct. 1841 01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:28,800 Speaker 2: It's like, we know what Kanye smells like. It's been years. 1842 01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:33,120 Speaker 2: I don't know that there's anything he can do that's 1843 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:35,719 Speaker 2: gonna truly make me be like, well, this is relevant 1844 01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:39,400 Speaker 2: and news. His brain is clearly out of control and 1845 01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:43,360 Speaker 2: just doing the worst shit, and people are just addicted to, 1846 01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:47,720 Speaker 2: like the outrage of he was on another platform and 1847 01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,360 Speaker 2: he said this. Did you hear what he said last? 1848 01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:55,400 Speaker 2: And I'm like, I honestly, it don't matter, all right, 1849 01:36:55,479 --> 01:37:00,960 Speaker 2: And then the comments on YouTube. No comments on this one, 1850 01:37:02,439 --> 01:37:06,120 Speaker 2: but we did have the Poe Deona leaving for Colorado. 1851 01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:08,400 Speaker 2: Love it, hate it, I don't care. I'm staying out 1852 01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:12,200 Speaker 2: of this one. Four point eight percent, about five percent 1853 01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:16,840 Speaker 2: say they love it, fifteen percent say they hate it, 1854 01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:21,880 Speaker 2: forty four percent do not care, and thirty six and 1855 01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,400 Speaker 2: a half percent say they staying out of it. All 1856 01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:28,719 Speaker 2: those percentages kind of make sense. I think it's interesting 1857 01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:32,840 Speaker 2: how few people love it, because I think that's the 1858 01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:37,600 Speaker 2: that's the contingent I've seen fighting the most is the 1859 01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:41,679 Speaker 2: people that love it or hate it. And I think 1860 01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:46,240 Speaker 2: the people that love it, to me, are equally as 1861 01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:49,160 Speaker 2: fucked up as the people that like are calling him 1862 01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:51,240 Speaker 2: a coon and shit like to me, they are both 1863 01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:53,960 Speaker 2: the same side of the coin when it comes to 1864 01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,280 Speaker 2: the way that they're dismissing everything in between. 1865 01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:59,000 Speaker 1: Right, and the average person is in between. 1866 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:03,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just not a very convenient It's just not 1867 01:38:03,720 --> 01:38:07,160 Speaker 2: a very convenient thing. It's just this. But yeah, so 1868 01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:10,479 Speaker 2: Deona leaving for Colorado on Spotify eleven percent love it. 1869 01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:12,519 Speaker 2: Of course they get into the money. They get it come. 1870 01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:14,200 Speaker 1: On his mentality. 1871 01:38:14,360 --> 01:38:17,719 Speaker 2: That's double what it was on our website. Eighteen percent hated, 1872 01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:20,559 Speaker 2: which is actually higher too. So I don't know. Maybe 1873 01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,040 Speaker 2: they're like, he already rich, he can do what you want. 1874 01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:24,920 Speaker 2: I don't carry the way thirty seven. 1875 01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,519 Speaker 1: Maybe it's like I invested and lost. I lost my 1876 01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:28,519 Speaker 1: money on my investment. 1877 01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:29,879 Speaker 2: What an investment. 1878 01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:32,800 Speaker 1: There was like they were the people in the city. 1879 01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:34,880 Speaker 1: They was like I was in the city I love. 1880 01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,519 Speaker 1: I supported put my money in that, and now my 1881 01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:38,439 Speaker 1: money's gone. 1882 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:42,400 Speaker 2: Nope, I don't know where an investment came from, but yes, 1883 01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 2: scaring I did.

What makes a college good? Right, That's what 1899 01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:49,559 Speaker 2: I meant. I guess that's the simplest way to say 1900 01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:51,960 Speaker 2: what I was trying to say last week. And I 1901 01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:55,280 Speaker 2: think most people can understand that what makes a college 1902 01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:58,479 Speaker 2: good to a lot of people is what makes people 1903 01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:03,800 Speaker 2: mentally break and that and you can't have both in 1904 01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:06,519 Speaker 2: my opinion, and so I would love to see those 1905 01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:10,599 Speaker 2: kids win, but I also think it won't matter unless 1906 01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:14,679 Speaker 2: the college changes the very nature of what it means 1907 01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:17,000 Speaker 2: to be like Ivy League and shit, I agreed. 1908 01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:17,720 Speaker 1: Uh. 1909 01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:22,160 Speaker 2: Keith just says it's always about the money, and Jane says, 1910 01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:25,400 Speaker 2: obviously wishing well at the reading Twitter comments on HBCUs 1911 01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:28,559 Speaker 2: versus Pwit debate and people dragging on Shannon Sharp, I'm 1912 01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,160 Speaker 2: staying away from this, like how I voted. It's giving 1913 01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:36,040 Speaker 2: me a headache. I feel, yeah, it got it got 1914 01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:39,040 Speaker 2: to be a bit much. I found everybody going too 1915 01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:42,520 Speaker 2: hard one way or the other to be mildly annoying 1916 01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,320 Speaker 2: to be frank. It was just like, Okay, so you 1917 01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:50,639 Speaker 2: just completely are just completely don't understand the other side 1918 01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:53,640 Speaker 2: of this at all. That seems a bit of a reach, like, right, 1919 01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,600 Speaker 2: you everyone should be understanding being able to understand the 1920 01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:58,840 Speaker 2: other side of this one. This ain't that deep to me, 1921 01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:02,920 Speaker 2: Like like he got a better job for more money, 1922 01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:08,760 Speaker 2: totally makes sense. He definitely lied and overplayed and over 1923 01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,719 Speaker 2: sold some shit and use some of the race rhetoric. 1924 01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,200 Speaker 2: Definitely makes sense.

Everybody, all right, 2160 01:53:29,320 --> 01:53:34,599 Speaker 2: let's go ahead and get into the voicemails, all right, 2161 01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,080 Speaker 2: So the voicemail line seven O four five five seven 2162 01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:39,960 Speaker 2: zero one eight six. Make sure it's two minutes or less. 2163 01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:41,639 Speaker 2: You'll get cut off and then you'll be a weirdo 2164 01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:43,800 Speaker 2: that has to call back more than once. Here's the 2165 01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:50,920 Speaker 2: first voicemail for Katrina and this is from November thirtieth, 2166 01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:53,639 Speaker 2: So this is a little bit old Ben a while 2167 01:53:53,720 --> 01:53:54,519 Speaker 2: since he did a show. 2168 01:53:56,840 --> 01:54:01,519 Speaker 5: Hi, Karen and rod Isa, And this way of calling 2169 01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:05,639 Speaker 5: in is much easier for me than emailing, even though 2170 01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:08,400 Speaker 5: I'm kind of laborn. But I just parted listening to 2171 01:54:09,040 --> 01:54:13,320 Speaker 5: the last show, and I want to talk about your 2172 01:54:13,320 --> 01:54:19,160 Speaker 5: discussion of the article about men not having friendships, you know, 2173 01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:23,040 Speaker 5: just not engaging a lot. And I agree with so 2174 01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:25,960 Speaker 5: much of what you said. There's one thing, a word 2175 01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:29,759 Speaker 5: really that Rob. You used a couple of time labor 2176 01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:35,040 Speaker 5: and emotional labor, and it was rubbing me wrong because 2177 01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:38,880 Speaker 5: I thought about it and I was like, when we're 2178 01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:42,520 Speaker 5: in relationship that we want to be in, whether they 2179 01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:47,960 Speaker 5: be friendships or you know, marriage or famillion familial ones, 2180 01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:50,680 Speaker 5: just something that we want to be in. Yeah, sometimes 2181 01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:55,520 Speaker 5: it does feel hard because emotions we're experiencing or distress 2182 01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:59,200 Speaker 5: from life is not good. But to call it emotional 2183 01:54:59,720 --> 01:55:03,880 Speaker 5: labor or labor that we're putting in does increase the 2184 01:55:04,240 --> 01:55:09,200 Speaker 5: transactional dynamics, which is already a problem people have these 2185 01:55:09,320 --> 01:55:13,560 Speaker 5: days and thinking about our relationship, speak to each other 2186 01:55:13,600 --> 01:55:17,040 Speaker 5: and how we treat each other. To me, it's effort 2187 01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:21,160 Speaker 5: and it's energy that you're putting in, not necessarily labor. 2188 01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:26,880 Speaker 5: I associate labor with again transaction I give and a 2189 01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:31,800 Speaker 5: reward or compensation at the end, and I think relationships 2190 01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:35,840 Speaker 5: that we choose to be in shouldn't be looked. 2191 01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:36,240 Speaker 2: At that way. 2192 01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:40,280 Speaker 5: So yeah, I guess this is more like a me thing. 2193 01:55:40,440 --> 01:55:43,920 Speaker 5: I'm not folding you. I'm just saying that what it 2194 01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:47,480 Speaker 5: made me think of that. Yeah, to me, it's effort 2195 01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:52,000 Speaker 5: and energy and not labor. Okay, I hope you guys 2196 01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:54,080 Speaker 5: are while it's all I wanted to say, Okay, love you. 2197 01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:58,720 Speaker 2: More. Voicemail. Let me just play it and then you 2198 01:55:58,760 --> 01:56:02,680 Speaker 2: can go. First look at me. 2199 01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:08,600 Speaker 5: I'm turning into the afia of voicemail. I forgot I 2200 01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:12,120 Speaker 5: had one other thing from the show. To break up 2201 01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:16,600 Speaker 5: the discussion about Lizzo. You guys are on point and exactly. 2202 01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:21,360 Speaker 5: It really bothers me when people try to invent the 2203 01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:26,640 Speaker 5: hyteria for blackness, especially in music, and that if it's 2204 01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,440 Speaker 5: not you know, ladies, things are blues, or you're not 2205 01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:33,960 Speaker 5: talking about protests, or you're not talking about some kind 2206 01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:37,960 Speaker 5: of oppressions, that somehow your music or your show or 2207 01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:41,720 Speaker 5: whatever isn't black, And that's a really dangerous association with 2208 01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:47,520 Speaker 5: blackness and black people. Sometimes it happens with like class issues, 2209 01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:53,040 Speaker 5: that it's not about poverty, or you're not some you know, 2210 01:56:53,240 --> 01:56:57,240 Speaker 5: showing things like that from a specific angle of blackness, 2211 01:56:57,280 --> 01:57:02,120 Speaker 5: and somehow your shit is left authentic. And because Lizzo 2212 01:57:02,280 --> 01:57:06,160 Speaker 5: doesn't sing about those topics, if you listen to the 2213 01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:10,240 Speaker 5: lyrics of her music, is very black experience. The same 2214 01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:13,880 Speaker 5: thing happened in a different way with Beyonce when she 2215 01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:17,680 Speaker 5: hit the Lemonade Stride. Then suddenly people are like, oh, 2216 01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:20,680 Speaker 5: Beyonce is black. Now, she's always been black. She's been 2217 01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:24,320 Speaker 5: singing about black ass shit since Destiny's Child, but specifically 2218 01:57:24,400 --> 01:57:31,360 Speaker 5: she got more outspoken about oppression and and you know, 2219 01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:37,920 Speaker 5: sort of like linking historical movements and intergenerational trauma around 2220 01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:41,240 Speaker 5: some shit. And then suddenly her music became black when 2221 01:57:41,800 --> 01:57:45,080 Speaker 5: the self titled album was black Foo when she was 2222 01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:48,320 Speaker 5: thinking about feminism and things that women you know, go through, 2223 01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:50,480 Speaker 5: but no one really saw it that way. So we 2224 01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:55,240 Speaker 5: choose to see blackness and very specific experiences that I think, 2225 01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:57,600 Speaker 5: you know needs to be exam All right, let me 2226 01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:58,640 Speaker 5: go before the steps me up. 2227 01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:02,320 Speaker 2: Bye. That was exactly two minutes. Canna say. 2228 01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:05,400 Speaker 1: Oh, what I was going to say is that they 2229 01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:08,680 Speaker 1: could be both. I understand what you're saying about. You know, 2230 01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:11,280 Speaker 1: the semantics own it, but they could be both because 2231 01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:15,480 Speaker 1: people underestimate when you say labor, it means effort. When 2232 01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:19,240 Speaker 1: you said labor, the reward is particularly emotional labor. The 2233 01:58:19,280 --> 01:58:22,440 Speaker 1: reward is you being a better person the reward and 2234 01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:26,360 Speaker 1: my this is just my definition of it, that's the reward. 2235 01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:30,480 Speaker 1: Because the thing about emotional labor is that, like I 2236 01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:34,040 Speaker 1: said before, most women, particularly straight women, I kind of 2237 01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:36,720 Speaker 1: taught these things. It's kind of built into us. These 2238 01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:38,600 Speaker 1: are the things that you need to do to make 2239 01:58:38,640 --> 01:58:42,040 Speaker 1: you a quote unquote a well rounded person. But when 2240 01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:44,960 Speaker 1: you're somebody who this, you've never been taught these things. 2241 01:58:45,040 --> 01:58:48,400 Speaker 1: It is gonna take labor. It's gonna take effort. It's 2242 01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:51,760 Speaker 1: gonna take something within you that some people just don't have. 2243 01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:55,240 Speaker 1: It's gonna take skills. Because the thing about labor, people 2244 01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:57,560 Speaker 1: when when you go to work, yes it is a transaction. 2245 01:58:57,840 --> 01:59:00,960 Speaker 1: The transaction is I'm a better person. You know. Sometimes 2246 01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:02,800 Speaker 1: when you people go labor, they always think it has 2247 01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:05,440 Speaker 1: to be something with money. But labor does not always 2248 01:59:05,560 --> 01:59:09,280 Speaker 1: have to be something that's financially that this a financial transaction. 2249 01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:13,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes the transaction could be something bigger or something better 2250 01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:15,800 Speaker 1: other than just money. A transaction. I put in this 2251 01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:18,720 Speaker 1: emotional labor the benefit I'm a better person, you know. 2252 01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:20,720 Speaker 1: I put in this a measure of the labor. Now 2253 01:59:20,840 --> 01:59:22,600 Speaker 1: I can talk better to my family and friends and 2254 01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:24,520 Speaker 1: things like that. Like I said, it's to me it's 2255 01:59:24,520 --> 01:59:27,840 Speaker 1: a semitic things, but to me they can actually be both. 2256 01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:30,880 Speaker 2: Okay and for me, I've made the point that she 2257 01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:34,120 Speaker 2: made just now. I don't know if it just got 2258 01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:37,839 Speaker 2: lost in the translation or I just use some shorthand 2259 01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:42,800 Speaker 2: for something. But I'm also not big and labeling things 2260 01:59:42,880 --> 01:59:48,320 Speaker 2: labor and friendships and relationships. I'm just not. I think 2261 01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:55,760 Speaker 2: it does lend itself to commodification. I think that being said, 2262 01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:58,200 Speaker 2: I think whatever you want to call it work in 2263 01:59:58,240 --> 01:59:59,960 Speaker 2: a relationship, if that's what you want to call it. 2264 02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:03,400 Speaker 2: I think it is due on both sides. I think 2265 02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:07,120 Speaker 2: once there's a person keeping a tally, it becomes something different. 2266 02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:12,280 Speaker 2: And if you're find yourself either keeping a tally or 2267 02:00:12,320 --> 02:00:16,320 Speaker 2: having a tally kept that you did not necessarily consent 2268 02:00:16,400 --> 02:00:19,400 Speaker 2: to or see it that way, it's probably best to 2269 02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:23,880 Speaker 2: separate yourself from that person because either you're keeping because 2270 02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:26,560 Speaker 2: I've known people that do this kind of pastor aggressive 2271 02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:30,360 Speaker 2: keeping tabs on shit, and I find that to be 2272 02:00:30,840 --> 02:00:33,720 Speaker 2: as infuriating as like the friend zone shit where it's 2273 02:00:33,760 --> 02:00:36,960 Speaker 2: just like I listen to you talk about your job 2274 02:00:37,200 --> 02:00:41,960 Speaker 2: and you're just like that. I thought that was a thing. 2275 02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:44,960 Speaker 2: Neither one of us would keep tabs on, you know 2276 02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:46,520 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So like, if I'm talking to you 2277 02:00:46,560 --> 02:00:49,880 Speaker 2: and I consider labor to be listening to you talk 2278 02:00:49,960 --> 02:00:54,160 Speaker 2: about your marriage, then I would say our relationship isn't 2279 02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:58,520 Speaker 2: that good because I've never kept a tally of stuff 2280 02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:00,320 Speaker 2: like that. You know, I either have a friend or 2281 02:01:00,320 --> 02:01:01,880 Speaker 2: I don't have a friend. We either talk about life 2282 02:01:01,960 --> 02:01:05,920 Speaker 2: or we don't talk about life. So I think the 2283 02:01:06,040 --> 02:01:08,839 Speaker 2: term emotional labor is shorthand in a lot of cases, 2284 02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:11,600 Speaker 2: but because of social media, it's become very front it's 2285 02:01:11,640 --> 02:01:15,840 Speaker 2: become very loaded as a term and weaponized as a term, 2286 02:01:16,080 --> 02:01:18,560 Speaker 2: and it's never truly defined. I just asked the chat 2287 02:01:18,640 --> 02:01:21,240 Speaker 2: right now, what are some examples of emotional labor to y'all? 2288 02:01:21,880 --> 02:01:23,800 Speaker 2: And I mean, we only have twenty people in the chat, 2289 02:01:23,800 --> 02:01:25,240 Speaker 2: I get it, so it's not a lot of people. 2290 02:01:25,240 --> 02:01:29,360 Speaker 2: But I haven't really seen people bring up any examples 2291 02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:32,320 Speaker 2: because I think it's gonna look just like what a 2292 02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:36,680 Speaker 2: friend would do for a friend, not like some specific 2293 02:01:36,720 --> 02:01:40,880 Speaker 2: thing you did for this person that they owe you 2294 02:01:40,920 --> 02:01:43,400 Speaker 2: for you should be compensated for. So yeah, I'm with 2295 02:01:43,440 --> 02:01:47,600 Speaker 2: her on just that term is a triggering. Not triggering 2296 02:01:48,040 --> 02:01:52,880 Speaker 2: is the term that I notice a lot, and I've 2297 02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:56,000 Speaker 2: seen used in some very cynical ways. So yeah, I 2298 02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:58,240 Speaker 2: am a bit wary of the term. I'm surprised that 2299 02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:01,760 Speaker 2: it must have either been in the article or something. 2300 02:02:01,800 --> 02:02:04,000 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's not a term I even use in 2301 02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:05,880 Speaker 2: my personal life. It's not a term I've ever said 2302 02:02:05,880 --> 02:02:06,839 Speaker 2: I've done for somebody. 2303 02:02:07,200 --> 02:02:12,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also, just listening to you talk, I unders 2304 02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:15,080 Speaker 1: I do still agree that it could be both. But 2305 02:02:15,160 --> 02:02:19,840 Speaker 1: also I understand the words do mean things, And I 2306 02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:24,160 Speaker 1: understand when it comes to quote unquote emotional labor, a 2307 02:02:24,200 --> 02:02:27,560 Speaker 1: lot of the labor part is put on women or 2308 02:02:27,760 --> 02:02:30,920 Speaker 1: in the relationship where it's like for a lot of 2309 02:02:30,960 --> 02:02:33,040 Speaker 1: men that go, well, this is quote unquote work. Now 2310 02:02:33,200 --> 02:02:34,120 Speaker 1: this is so. 2311 02:02:34,040 --> 02:02:36,720 Speaker 2: What are some examples you would say of emotional labor 2312 02:02:36,760 --> 02:02:40,240 Speaker 2: that these women are doing that men don't don't or 2313 02:02:40,280 --> 02:02:41,080 Speaker 2: care or won't. 2314 02:02:40,960 --> 02:02:43,760 Speaker 1: Do a lot of it is when it comes to 2315 02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:49,200 Speaker 1: this is just yeah, a lot of times when women 2316 02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:53,960 Speaker 1: have children, a lot of the children it's basically her 2317 02:02:54,120 --> 02:02:56,680 Speaker 1: a lot of times. But most households women do the cooking. 2318 02:02:57,280 --> 02:03:01,320 Speaker 2: So what you're describing to me is labor. It's not emotional. 2319 02:03:01,880 --> 02:03:06,120 Speaker 2: That's work, yes, child cares work, yes, But it's also. 2320 02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:09,800 Speaker 1: The emotional connection to the children, the emotional connection to 2321 02:03:09,840 --> 02:03:13,440 Speaker 1: your husband, everybody emotionally depending on you to always keep 2322 02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:15,880 Speaker 1: it together and lead them in the right direction. That 2323 02:03:15,880 --> 02:03:18,280 Speaker 1: that shit is emotional too to me, Like, it's more 2324 02:03:18,320 --> 02:03:20,360 Speaker 1: than just the labor part. It's the labor and the 2325 02:03:20,400 --> 02:03:24,840 Speaker 1: emotion combined. Because the thing is, it's quote unquote what 2326 02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:26,880 Speaker 1: you because a lot of people have this thing. Once 2327 02:03:26,880 --> 02:03:28,880 Speaker 1: a woman has a child, you're supposed to just drop everything, 2328 02:03:28,920 --> 02:03:31,960 Speaker 1: and you're supposed to automatically just become this transformer, be 2329 02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:34,320 Speaker 1: this mother things, just have all these answers. 2330 02:03:34,360 --> 02:03:37,160 Speaker 2: So, okay, I find an interesting way you're going. We 2331 02:03:37,160 --> 02:03:40,640 Speaker 2: weren't talking about that. We're talking about friendships, men and 2332 02:03:40,680 --> 02:03:45,040 Speaker 2: their friendships, not relationships or you know what I'm saying. 2333 02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:49,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't about it was about men not having friends 2334 02:03:49,080 --> 02:03:52,040 Speaker 2: in this article. Remember what we talked about with the article. 2335 02:03:52,720 --> 02:03:56,760 Speaker 2: I agree with you about just labor in general, especially 2336 02:03:58,600 --> 02:04:03,840 Speaker 2: in a relationships had relationship, often women's labor and work 2337 02:04:03,920 --> 02:04:09,000 Speaker 2: being undervalued, underappreciated because it's women doing this specifically. We 2338 02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:12,960 Speaker 2: one hundred percent agree there. So in a friendship though, right, 2339 02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:16,600 Speaker 2: in a friendship, what would you call emotional labor? Not? So, 2340 02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:21,040 Speaker 2: I just want to take relationship of sexual stuff out 2341 02:04:21,080 --> 02:04:24,720 Speaker 2: and just go to straight like people being friends. If 2342 02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:27,120 Speaker 2: a man is a friend with a woman, what labor 2343 02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:30,240 Speaker 2: do you think they're talking about or what? Or just 2344 02:04:30,760 --> 02:04:32,320 Speaker 2: even a friend man with a man, what do you 2345 02:04:32,360 --> 02:04:34,560 Speaker 2: think emotional labor would be? And I'm not saying that 2346 02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:37,360 Speaker 2: they like set you up or nothing. I'm genuinely asking 2347 02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:39,880 Speaker 2: because I was trying to answer this question myself and 2348 02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:42,720 Speaker 2: I was drawing a blankets to what is emotional labor 2349 02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:44,640 Speaker 2: to me that I would pick out and be like 2350 02:04:44,720 --> 02:04:48,840 Speaker 2: this friend, I did emotional labor for this friend. 2351 02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:52,720 Speaker 1: And the reason why and maybe this is just something 2352 02:04:52,720 --> 02:04:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm getting hung olver. The reason why I keep saying 2353 02:04:54,840 --> 02:04:58,880 Speaker 1: that because the whole purpose was that men don't have 2354 02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:01,400 Speaker 1: these connections because and a lot of times we talked 2355 02:05:01,400 --> 02:05:04,600 Speaker 1: about like the relationship piece of it. And that's why 2356 02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:07,280 Speaker 1: I keep talking about when you when you talk about 2357 02:05:07,320 --> 02:05:09,520 Speaker 1: the labor piece, is it has to be a balance there. 2358 02:05:09,760 --> 02:05:13,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm conceding that in order for us to move on. Okay, 2359 02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:16,680 Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing or pushing back. I'm saying, okay, just 2360 02:05:16,720 --> 02:05:19,920 Speaker 2: take I can't imagine anyone that doesn't agree with that, 2361 02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:23,160 Speaker 2: Like women don't do so much work that is just 2362 02:05:23,320 --> 02:05:28,960 Speaker 2: unconversated and unrequired in a lot of relationships. So let's 2363 02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:33,640 Speaker 2: just pull fully go Yes, So now let's go to friendships. 2364 02:05:34,160 --> 02:05:37,040 Speaker 2: What are examples of like emotional labor And it's cool 2365 02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:38,360 Speaker 2: if you don't have I couldn't come up with the 2366 02:05:38,360 --> 02:05:40,240 Speaker 2: answer my fuck himself to be honest. 2367 02:05:39,960 --> 02:05:42,280 Speaker 1: And and and and I guess for a lot of it, 2368 02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:45,240 Speaker 1: a lot of this is almost individualiz It varies per 2369 02:05:45,240 --> 02:05:48,040 Speaker 1: person because you know, when it comes to emotional labor, 2370 02:05:48,120 --> 02:05:52,200 Speaker 1: it might be what I call it, somebody just y'all 2371 02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:56,320 Speaker 1: have a relationship and one person is constantly draining the 2372 02:05:56,440 --> 02:05:59,520 Speaker 1: other person as far as they tell you everything that's wrong, 2373 02:05:59,640 --> 02:06:02,520 Speaker 1: they everything in their life. They dump all these things 2374 02:06:02,560 --> 02:06:05,640 Speaker 1: on you, but then when it's reciprocated, they don't have time. 2375 02:06:05,840 --> 02:06:10,120 Speaker 2: And I think in that case that one that's not 2376 02:06:10,200 --> 02:06:13,280 Speaker 2: just a man thing that I feel like a lot 2377 02:06:13,320 --> 02:06:15,200 Speaker 2: of people would describe their relationships with a lot of 2378 02:06:15,200 --> 02:06:24,160 Speaker 2: women that way. But I feel like if that is happening, 2379 02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:27,200 Speaker 2: that is more of a fact that you either don't 2380 02:06:27,240 --> 02:06:31,080 Speaker 2: have boundaries or you don't you are not really friends 2381 02:06:31,080 --> 02:06:34,600 Speaker 2: with that person. Labor, to me, I think is transactional, 2382 02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:39,080 Speaker 2: and by which I mean when you do work, you 2383 02:06:39,120 --> 02:06:41,520 Speaker 2: want to be compensated. It's a transaction. 2384 02:06:41,800 --> 02:06:42,960 Speaker 1: Okay, when you. 2385 02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:45,760 Speaker 2: Go to your job, is that a relationship you have 2386 02:06:45,840 --> 02:06:47,520 Speaker 2: with your job or is that labor you're doing for 2387 02:06:47,560 --> 02:06:47,920 Speaker 2: your job? 2388 02:06:48,080 --> 02:06:51,040 Speaker 1: Oh, that's labor and the end result is I'm getting paid. 2389 02:06:51,240 --> 02:06:54,680 Speaker 2: Right, So when we say labor for things that aren't 2390 02:06:54,760 --> 02:07:00,280 Speaker 2: really compensatory in that way, that aren't necessarily that are 2391 02:07:00,320 --> 02:07:08,600 Speaker 2: supposed to be reciprocally beneficial, but not necessarily on a 2392 02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:11,720 Speaker 2: one to one basis. I think when we started using 2393 02:07:11,720 --> 02:07:16,240 Speaker 2: the language of like capitalism and commerce for our personal relationships, 2394 02:07:16,640 --> 02:07:19,280 Speaker 2: to me, that's a big turn off. Like I would 2395 02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:23,760 Speaker 2: never there's no friend, I've kept a tally on and 2396 02:07:23,760 --> 02:07:26,480 Speaker 2: been like, I do more labor for them than they 2397 02:07:26,520 --> 02:07:26,960 Speaker 2: do for me. 2398 02:07:28,160 --> 02:07:31,680 Speaker 1: Okay, okay. So so so from that particular piece, the 2399 02:07:31,720 --> 02:07:38,200 Speaker 1: way you described that, I understand because once you tag 2400 02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:42,160 Speaker 1: labor onto it, and I guess I want to look 2401 02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:43,560 Speaker 1: at it from the point of a labor. I was 2402 02:07:43,600 --> 02:07:45,040 Speaker 1: looking for the point of emotions. 2403 02:07:45,320 --> 02:07:48,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you are, okay, and so that's fine. But yeah, 2404 02:07:48,040 --> 02:07:50,160 Speaker 2: I think that's why I agree with what she said 2405 02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:53,040 Speaker 2: is because I'm like, yeah, if I if I were 2406 02:07:53,080 --> 02:07:55,520 Speaker 2: to tell you, Karen, I'm doing a lot of emotional 2407 02:07:55,600 --> 02:07:59,240 Speaker 2: labor for you, I would that would feel wrong to me, 2408 02:07:59,520 --> 02:08:02,200 Speaker 2: Like like what, First of all, that's what we agreed 2409 02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:06,480 Speaker 2: to do when we signed up for this, But then two, 2410 02:08:06,840 --> 02:08:09,760 Speaker 2: like what does that mean? And how am I calculating 2411 02:08:09,840 --> 02:08:11,120 Speaker 2: my ship versus jo ship? 2412 02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:14,440 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you've put a quote unquote 2413 02:08:14,720 --> 02:08:15,760 Speaker 1: dollar value on it. 2414 02:08:16,200 --> 02:08:17,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, some value on it. 2415 02:08:17,960 --> 02:08:19,920 Speaker 1: Even though that's not what it is. And some of 2416 02:08:19,920 --> 02:08:20,640 Speaker 1: this stuff. 2417 02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:26,400 Speaker 2: Stuff to me, is friendship, Like friendship is sometimes your 2418 02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:28,480 Speaker 2: friend just wants to bitch about something and you just 2419 02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:33,600 Speaker 2: gotta let them, you know. Friendship is to somebody that 2420 02:08:33,720 --> 02:08:36,480 Speaker 2: don't text you all the time, but then they text 2421 02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:38,160 Speaker 2: you a lot one day and then you don't hear 2422 02:08:38,200 --> 02:08:41,520 Speaker 2: from for three months. To me, that's still friendship. I agree, 2423 02:08:41,640 --> 02:08:45,200 Speaker 2: there's no friend I'm keeping tallies on like that. I've 2424 02:08:45,200 --> 02:08:48,440 Speaker 2: even had people apologize to me for like, Man, I'm 2425 02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:50,560 Speaker 2: sorry i haven't texted you in a while. I've been 2426 02:08:50,600 --> 02:08:53,240 Speaker 2: going through some things and if anything, I would like 2427 02:08:53,320 --> 02:08:55,560 Speaker 2: I want to extend to them how much I don't 2428 02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:59,240 Speaker 2: hold it against them, because to me, that's a barrier 2429 02:08:59,280 --> 02:09:02,120 Speaker 2: to our friendship. If I'm feeling like, well, it's I mean, 2430 02:09:02,160 --> 02:09:04,080 Speaker 2: I was going through things and you wasn't checking off 2431 02:09:04,240 --> 02:09:07,400 Speaker 2: so like, and I find it to me to be 2432 02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:11,200 Speaker 2: so transactional, and so once you throw labor in there, 2433 02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:15,160 Speaker 2: I don't do work without getting paid, So once you 2434 02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:17,200 Speaker 2: throw that in there, I just it just to me 2435 02:09:17,320 --> 02:09:21,280 Speaker 2: becomes something that's so transactional. I would personally prefer not 2436 02:09:21,400 --> 02:09:24,600 Speaker 2: to be involved in relationships of that type. But it's 2437 02:09:24,600 --> 02:09:28,840 Speaker 2: something I did have to learn, right. So, so if 2438 02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:31,080 Speaker 2: I find a person to be draining all the time, 2439 02:09:31,560 --> 02:09:33,440 Speaker 2: I don't look at it as I'm doing labor. I 2440 02:09:33,480 --> 02:09:35,320 Speaker 2: look at it as they're draining me, and I don't 2441 02:09:35,320 --> 02:09:37,880 Speaker 2: want to be their friend. Not like I don't then 2442 02:09:37,920 --> 02:09:40,240 Speaker 2: start looking at it this is work I'm clocking in 2443 02:09:40,840 --> 02:09:42,720 Speaker 2: and to me, and I'm not trying to be a 2444 02:09:42,800 --> 02:09:46,080 Speaker 2: jerk about it. To me, this shows that you may 2445 02:09:46,240 --> 02:09:49,560 Speaker 2: lack communication skills or lack the ability to stand up 2446 02:09:49,600 --> 02:09:51,760 Speaker 2: for yourself, because one of the things I learned was 2447 02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:53,520 Speaker 2: you got to stand up for yourself. There's people that 2448 02:09:53,640 --> 02:09:57,400 Speaker 2: used to call me and whatever issue they would have 2449 02:09:57,520 --> 02:09:59,760 Speaker 2: or whatever they'd always it always be something. I was 2450 02:09:59,800 --> 02:10:01,520 Speaker 2: just like, I don't have to pick up the phone 2451 02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:04,919 Speaker 2: for this shit. I don't like, we're not really friends. 2452 02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:07,360 Speaker 2: You just want to call me like you need a therapist. Cool, 2453 02:10:07,480 --> 02:10:10,480 Speaker 2: We're just that's fine. Everybody can't be friends, you know. 2454 02:10:10,680 --> 02:10:12,760 Speaker 2: So I think a lot of that stuff comes into 2455 02:10:12,760 --> 02:10:13,160 Speaker 2: play too. 2456 02:10:13,440 --> 02:10:18,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, And also from that perspective, that makes more more 2457 02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:21,920 Speaker 1: sense because I'm like you, I don't keep talents, I 2458 02:10:21,920 --> 02:10:24,400 Speaker 1: don't keep taks because I have off types of friends 2459 02:10:24,440 --> 02:10:27,040 Speaker 1: I have, oh, one of my best friends. We've been 2460 02:10:27,080 --> 02:10:28,560 Speaker 1: friends for like since I've been in my twenties, like 2461 02:10:28,560 --> 02:10:33,520 Speaker 1: twenty some years, and I may see her every few years. 2462 02:10:33,840 --> 02:10:36,520 Speaker 1: We might text a talk a few times out the year, 2463 02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:39,120 Speaker 1: and then sometimes we went like a few years and 2464 02:10:39,200 --> 02:10:41,800 Speaker 1: did not communicate with each other. But every time we talked, 2465 02:10:41,840 --> 02:10:44,080 Speaker 1: we picked up. And so I'm like you, I don't 2466 02:10:44,120 --> 02:10:44,960 Speaker 1: consider that labor. 2467 02:10:45,080 --> 02:10:46,240 Speaker 2: I was never keeping the talent. 2468 02:10:46,640 --> 02:10:48,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't probably for friendship. 2469 02:10:48,080 --> 02:10:50,800 Speaker 2: Well, my phone wasn't buzzn't I wasn't running up the 2470 02:10:50,920 --> 02:10:53,840 Speaker 2: interest rate or whatever the other thing people are bringing up. 2471 02:10:53,880 --> 02:10:55,000 Speaker 2: And this is one of the reason I don't like 2472 02:10:55,040 --> 02:10:57,680 Speaker 2: the term. In the chat. Most of the people's example 2473 02:10:57,760 --> 02:11:00,960 Speaker 2: of what they would call emotional labor is caring or 2474 02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:04,200 Speaker 2: supporting a person. To me, that is the default. I 2475 02:11:04,240 --> 02:11:06,680 Speaker 2: do not count that as labor. You see what I'm saying. 2476 02:11:06,720 --> 02:11:10,240 Speaker 2: If I care about the relationship with my friend, that's 2477 02:11:10,280 --> 02:11:12,680 Speaker 2: just what it's supposed to be. If it's a friendship, 2478 02:11:13,080 --> 02:11:15,640 Speaker 2: if it's a fomanship, I would never call it labor. 2479 02:11:15,680 --> 02:11:18,680 Speaker 2: So anyway, I agree with Katrina on that. I'm not 2480 02:11:18,720 --> 02:11:20,720 Speaker 2: sure where the wires got crossed. It probably was just 2481 02:11:20,880 --> 02:11:23,200 Speaker 2: we were talking about something and it just I didn't 2482 02:11:23,640 --> 02:11:25,320 Speaker 2: have time or want to make the same point I 2483 02:11:25,400 --> 02:11:29,400 Speaker 2: always make. But yeah, I don't believe in keeping itally 2484 02:11:29,400 --> 02:11:29,600 Speaker 2: of that. 2485 02:11:29,680 --> 02:11:33,000 Speaker 1: Yeah know so I think for a lot of people, 2486 02:11:33,160 --> 02:11:36,160 Speaker 1: just from hearing you talk, I think for when you 2487 02:11:36,200 --> 02:11:38,200 Speaker 1: talk about boundaries and all that stuff, I think that 2488 02:11:38,360 --> 02:11:42,400 Speaker 1: for a lot of people, they've been abused and they've 2489 02:11:42,440 --> 02:11:45,600 Speaker 1: been through things, and once they have been abused and 2490 02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:49,440 Speaker 1: been hurt, for some people, they changed, they that they 2491 02:11:49,520 --> 02:11:50,880 Speaker 1: morph it into a transaction. 2492 02:11:50,960 --> 02:11:53,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I said I didn't want to be mean. 2493 02:11:54,560 --> 02:11:56,720 Speaker 2: And I'm talking about myself here too, because I don't 2494 02:11:56,760 --> 02:11:59,040 Speaker 2: want to be mean to my past self. But that 2495 02:11:59,200 --> 02:12:01,960 Speaker 2: was a lack of bound that was a lack of 2496 02:12:02,160 --> 02:12:05,040 Speaker 2: standing up for myself. That was a lack of good communication. 2497 02:12:05,640 --> 02:12:08,760 Speaker 2: Because now now if somebody tried that ship, I'll be like, no, 2498 02:12:09,760 --> 02:12:12,320 Speaker 2: I'm not picking on my fucking phone and listening to 2499 02:12:12,360 --> 02:12:16,600 Speaker 2: you fucking complain every day. No, if it's feeling like work, 2500 02:12:17,280 --> 02:12:20,520 Speaker 2: then it's not really a friendship anymore in that in 2501 02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:23,600 Speaker 2: that way, because and it doesn't mean that friendships don't 2502 02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:25,800 Speaker 2: take work. What it means is that when it's working, 2503 02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:31,200 Speaker 2: don't feel like work to me. Like when like I 2504 02:12:31,240 --> 02:12:34,400 Speaker 2: was telling somebody they were talking about marriage or something, 2505 02:12:35,320 --> 02:12:37,760 Speaker 2: and I can't remember who it was, but they were 2506 02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:40,720 Speaker 2: talking about something that that I you know, that that 2507 02:12:40,800 --> 02:12:44,920 Speaker 2: happened in like you know, their personal life with their 2508 02:12:44,960 --> 02:12:47,360 Speaker 2: family or whatever, and like, you know, how do you 2509 02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:49,480 Speaker 2: get through that? Blah blah. I said, I'm gonna be real, bro, 2510 02:12:50,080 --> 02:12:52,320 Speaker 2: you gotta have that dog and you gotta want to 2511 02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:55,280 Speaker 2: be the person that's there for that. Like if you 2512 02:12:55,360 --> 02:12:57,360 Speaker 2: don't want to be the person that's there for that, 2513 02:12:57,440 --> 02:13:00,120 Speaker 2: then it's kind of like you signed up for the 2514 02:13:00,160 --> 02:13:02,840 Speaker 2: wrong gig, because everybody's got to be the person that's 2515 02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:04,800 Speaker 2: there for that. I see single people do this all 2516 02:13:04,840 --> 02:13:07,240 Speaker 2: the time, and it's totally they're right. But one of 2517 02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:09,680 Speaker 2: the things I always thought was funny with single people, 2518 02:13:09,760 --> 02:13:12,880 Speaker 2: especially those who aspire to be in relationships, is the 2519 02:13:12,960 --> 02:13:18,200 Speaker 2: amount of wanting someone to do stuff for them without 2520 02:13:18,400 --> 02:13:26,000 Speaker 2: reciprocating truly, and the casualness that they approach it with 2521 02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:28,800 Speaker 2: with on some like well, I don't see, like COVID 2522 02:13:28,840 --> 02:13:32,240 Speaker 2: has been a great example. Well, if my man got COVID, 2523 02:13:32,320 --> 02:13:33,880 Speaker 2: he on his own or some shit, And I'm like, 2524 02:13:34,480 --> 02:13:37,040 Speaker 2: if you're married and sickness and health. More than likely 2525 02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:39,920 Speaker 2: you are gonna be sitting right there while they got 2526 02:13:39,920 --> 02:13:42,800 Speaker 2: that COVID and you might maybe move to a different 2527 02:13:42,800 --> 02:13:44,880 Speaker 2: part of the house, maybe wear a mask, but the 2528 02:13:44,920 --> 02:13:47,080 Speaker 2: whole like, I'll be back in two weeks. Hope you 2529 02:13:47,080 --> 02:13:51,040 Speaker 2: don't die. That sounds good and funny and it's very 2530 02:13:51,120 --> 02:13:54,920 Speaker 2: hilarious to tweet, but that's not what a marriage is 2531 02:13:54,960 --> 02:13:58,200 Speaker 2: gonna be. Because let's imagine you're the sick motherfucker right, 2532 02:13:58,640 --> 02:14:01,440 Speaker 2: your husband gets up and leaves for two weeks. I 2533 02:14:01,720 --> 02:14:05,360 Speaker 2: hope you hope you don't die. Our text, You're gonna 2534 02:14:05,440 --> 02:14:07,320 Speaker 2: you're gonna feel a fucking way about that, and then 2535 02:14:07,320 --> 02:14:10,280 Speaker 2: when you do live, it's gonna be it's gonna forever 2536 02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:13,440 Speaker 2: change your relationship. You know, when you had surgery and 2537 02:14:13,480 --> 02:14:16,440 Speaker 2: I was sleeping in the hospital every night, I thought 2538 02:14:16,440 --> 02:14:19,000 Speaker 2: it was interesting how many people were shocked and thought 2539 02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:20,640 Speaker 2: I was a good husband for sleeping in. 2540 02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:24,200 Speaker 1: You still here. 2541 02:14:24,680 --> 02:14:27,200 Speaker 2: I had never thought that it was an option not 2542 02:14:27,320 --> 02:14:29,960 Speaker 2: to because you know what I'm saying. 2543 02:14:29,720 --> 02:14:31,960 Speaker 1: Like, this is what I signed up for when you 2544 02:14:32,040 --> 02:14:32,760 Speaker 1: was in a hospital. 2545 02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:36,160 Speaker 2: Time is what I signed up for. 2546 02:14:36,320 --> 02:14:38,480 Speaker 1: It's not I can't consider any of them. 2547 02:14:38,640 --> 02:14:40,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the only thing I would caution is to 2548 02:14:40,720 --> 02:14:42,880 Speaker 2: know what you signed up for. But it's also this 2549 02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:44,760 Speaker 2: is a great example why I don't say I got 2550 02:14:44,800 --> 02:14:47,480 Speaker 2: a lot of friends, right, I just have a few 2551 02:14:47,720 --> 02:14:50,880 Speaker 2: friends that men and women are just a few of them, 2552 02:14:51,280 --> 02:14:53,920 Speaker 2: because I don't count this ship as labor. Once you 2553 02:14:54,400 --> 02:14:56,360 Speaker 2: I think about this all the time, like people that 2554 02:14:56,480 --> 02:14:58,080 Speaker 2: maintained I was singing out this the other day for 2555 02:14:58,120 --> 02:15:00,800 Speaker 2: some reason, people that have a whole lot of friendships 2556 02:15:00,840 --> 02:15:03,400 Speaker 2: and they're always checking on everybody's birthday and everybody's this, 2557 02:15:03,560 --> 02:15:06,040 Speaker 2: and calling all these people. I said, that is work, 2558 02:15:06,680 --> 02:15:08,760 Speaker 2: because because it's like a full time job, and at 2559 02:15:08,760 --> 02:15:10,960 Speaker 2: some point you gotta admit you can't be that tight 2560 02:15:11,040 --> 02:15:13,720 Speaker 2: with all the people. You can't not with everybody, and 2561 02:15:13,760 --> 02:15:15,880 Speaker 2: the people that's keeping a tally on that kind of 2562 02:15:15,880 --> 02:15:19,280 Speaker 2: probably some dicks. I've never kept itally, Like you know, 2563 02:15:19,600 --> 02:15:22,760 Speaker 2: I've never said in my life to anybody, not once 2564 02:15:22,800 --> 02:15:25,840 Speaker 2: I'm forty four years old. I've never said, man, you 2565 02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:29,680 Speaker 2: didn't check on me on my birthday? Not one I don't. 2566 02:15:29,920 --> 02:15:32,480 Speaker 2: It's not you got a whole life, a. 2567 02:15:32,440 --> 02:15:33,400 Speaker 1: Whole ass life. 2568 02:15:33,480 --> 02:15:35,320 Speaker 2: So it's just the stuff that I hear to find 2569 02:15:35,320 --> 02:15:38,600 Speaker 2: as labor are things that I would not care about, 2570 02:15:38,720 --> 02:15:42,800 Speaker 2: so I guess either. And I've never been accused of 2571 02:15:42,880 --> 02:15:44,960 Speaker 2: or you Like a friend, I'm not a person that 2572 02:15:45,000 --> 02:15:47,800 Speaker 2: calls people only need to complain and waste their time. 2573 02:15:47,840 --> 02:15:50,960 Speaker 2: But at the same time, I just I don't value 2574 02:15:51,040 --> 02:15:53,920 Speaker 2: that stuff in that way, so it's not labor to me. 2575 02:15:53,960 --> 02:15:55,600 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the next one.

Neur Geek Ninja Mon wrote in, Hey, 2773 02:26:46,959 --> 02:26:48,480 Speaker 2: Rod and Karen just wanted to write in to give 2774 02:26:48,520 --> 02:26:50,520 Speaker 2: you a little update about Bobby, the little black girl 2775 02:26:50,560 --> 02:26:52,960 Speaker 2: who was racially targeted for grewing the great service to 2776 02:26:53,080 --> 02:27:01,320 Speaker 2: nature killing them the UH. Recently, doctor Egoma Opera Apara, 2777 02:27:01,440 --> 02:27:03,640 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, got in touch with her family and led 2778 02:27:03,680 --> 02:27:06,520 Speaker 2: them on a black girl sides toward Yelle. I'm adding 2779 02:27:06,560 --> 02:27:09,080 Speaker 2: screenshots from IG and the short article about it. I'm 2780 02:27:09,080 --> 02:27:11,120 Speaker 2: just glad other black women in Stem are helping this 2781 02:27:11,240 --> 02:27:13,720 Speaker 2: baby heal and continue to be curious about the world 2782 02:27:13,760 --> 02:27:16,080 Speaker 2: around her. My daughter is eleven and also loves collecting 2783 02:27:16,080 --> 02:27:19,160 Speaker 2: bugs and rocks to examine. I usually only let her 2784 02:27:19,280 --> 02:27:22,480 Speaker 2: in our backyard on supervised UH. If she is out 2785 02:27:22,480 --> 02:27:24,560 Speaker 2: front I watched her from the window, and this story 2786 02:27:24,720 --> 02:27:25,880 Speaker 2: is why love them on? 2787 02:27:26,520 --> 02:27:26,800 Speaker 1: Right? 2788 02:27:27,280 --> 02:27:31,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is dope that the community was able to 2789 02:27:31,959 --> 02:27:34,280 Speaker 2: gather around her and celebrate her. I always worry about 2790 02:27:34,320 --> 02:27:37,840 Speaker 2: these children and the things they're experiencing from this fucking racism. 2791 02:27:37,920 --> 02:27:40,360 Speaker 2: It's just so sad because we don't get to be kids. 2792 02:27:40,840 --> 02:27:42,800 Speaker 2: Our kids don't get to be kids that long. There's 2793 02:27:42,800 --> 02:27:44,959 Speaker 2: always some fucking thing that's interrupting it. 2794 02:27:45,840 --> 02:27:49,760 Speaker 1: But that little woman, yeah, as kid. 2795 02:27:50,080 --> 02:27:53,440 Speaker 2: So it's dope to see these black women pull her 2796 02:27:53,480 --> 02:27:59,720 Speaker 2: in and and celebrate her and uh and and come 2797 02:27:59,760 --> 02:28:05,080 Speaker 2: out to support. That's just that's super dope. So yeah, 2798 02:28:05,320 --> 02:28:09,480 Speaker 2: shout out to shout out to them, and let's go 2799 02:28:09,520 --> 02:28:14,680 Speaker 2: to the next one, Earle says regarding Garland, takes the game, 2800 02:28:14,720 --> 02:28:18,680 Speaker 2: win the shot. He says, when I watched the verdict 2801 02:28:18,800 --> 02:28:22,039 Speaker 2: come down on the oath Keepers Sedition conspiracy trial, I 2802 02:28:22,120 --> 02:28:25,000 Speaker 2: was reminded of Donald Trump's legal entanglements. I've often heard 2803 02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:28,160 Speaker 2: you praise the job Mary Garland is doing. Indeed, he 2804 02:28:28,240 --> 02:28:32,000 Speaker 2: has been deliberate, disciplined, and objectively non partisan in his approach. However, 2805 02:28:32,320 --> 02:28:34,600 Speaker 2: I liken it to a star athlete who delivers during 2806 02:28:34,600 --> 02:28:36,879 Speaker 2: the regular season. I'm not a lawyer, but I can't 2807 02:28:36,920 --> 02:28:40,360 Speaker 2: fathom how Trump isn't guilty of miss handling federal documents. Ironically, 2808 02:28:40,400 --> 02:28:42,920 Speaker 2: Trump signed a new law making this a felony to 2809 02:28:42,920 --> 02:28:46,640 Speaker 2: target Hillary Clinton. Garland's postseason is about after the Special 2810 02:28:46,959 --> 02:28:50,039 Speaker 2: Council recommends indicting Trump, will he be clutch or will 2811 02:28:50,040 --> 02:28:52,400 Speaker 2: he choke? If he chokes, I'm sure he doesn't think 2812 02:28:52,440 --> 02:28:54,480 Speaker 2: the case is winnable, but win or lose, the country 2813 02:28:54,480 --> 02:28:57,039 Speaker 2: needs him take the shot. Earl. I agree, you need 2814 02:28:57,040 --> 02:29:00,800 Speaker 2: to take the shot. That's a good analogy. And uh, 2815 02:29:01,200 --> 02:29:03,160 Speaker 2: the only thing I'll push back on is the stuff 2816 02:29:03,200 --> 02:29:09,560 Speaker 2: with the the stuff with it being like a regular season. 2817 02:29:09,680 --> 02:29:12,200 Speaker 2: This is all overtime shit. This is all clutch. This 2818 02:29:12,280 --> 02:29:15,600 Speaker 2: is like it wouldn't feel that way if so many 2819 02:29:15,640 --> 02:29:18,160 Speaker 2: people hadn't pushed back on just him even doing this. 2820 02:29:18,280 --> 02:29:20,840 Speaker 2: They said he wouldn't even do this. So to me, 2821 02:29:20,920 --> 02:29:24,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I'm seeing oathkeepers get found guilty of 2822 02:29:24,440 --> 02:29:27,040 Speaker 2: fucking treason. I don't know, seemed like a pretty big 2823 02:29:27,120 --> 02:29:29,200 Speaker 2: fucking deal that y'all said he wasn't gonna do it 2824 02:29:29,200 --> 02:29:31,879 Speaker 2: wouldn't happen. So you can't have it both ways when 2825 02:29:31,879 --> 02:29:33,480 Speaker 2: you shot on the man say you wouldn't do it, 2826 02:29:33,520 --> 02:29:36,280 Speaker 2: not you girl. But people can't have it both ways 2827 02:29:36,280 --> 02:29:38,560 Speaker 2: where they shit on the dude and then when he 2828 02:29:38,640 --> 02:29:40,720 Speaker 2: do stuff be like it's not a big deal. You 2829 02:29:40,800 --> 02:29:42,440 Speaker 2: made it a big deal when you said he couldn't it, 2830 02:29:42,440 --> 02:29:46,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't do it. He's doing a good job and they 2831 02:29:46,440 --> 02:29:49,760 Speaker 2: just got that fucking special old Master thrown out with 2832 02:29:49,879 --> 02:29:53,440 Speaker 2: the uphill, which is also good because that that was 2833 02:29:53,480 --> 02:29:56,240 Speaker 2: some bullshit that Trump upointed judge through it. There they 2834 02:29:56,240 --> 02:29:58,640 Speaker 2: are fighting to fight. It's just the legal system ain't 2835 02:29:58,640 --> 02:30:01,800 Speaker 2: as fast as Twitter and everybody he is on Twitter. 2836 02:30:02,800 --> 02:30:05,760 Speaker 2: It's like they get paid and promoting anxiety and just 2837 02:30:06,040 --> 02:30:09,039 Speaker 2: disappointment and cynicism. And that's not his job. 2838 02:30:09,280 --> 02:30:12,800 Speaker 1: That's the reward because as far as their concern, they 2839 02:30:12,800 --> 02:30:15,320 Speaker 1: don't have any consequences of repercussions on what happens and 2840 02:30:15,400 --> 02:30:17,039 Speaker 1: does not happen based off of the shit that they 2841 02:30:17,080 --> 02:30:17,680 Speaker 1: put online. 2842 02:30:17,840 --> 02:30:19,440 Speaker 2: That's not his job. His job is to do the 2843 02:30:19,680 --> 02:30:21,920 Speaker 2: job he was hired to do, not to win Twitter 2844 02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:25,080 Speaker 2: or the media circle. So I appreciate the brother. He's 2845 02:30:25,080 --> 02:30:28,320 Speaker 2: doing a great job and I'll keep saying that until 2846 02:30:28,320 --> 02:30:30,920 Speaker 2: he's not. But I'm not going to assume he's doing 2847 02:30:30,959 --> 02:30:32,840 Speaker 2: a bad job and try to work backwards like these 2848 02:30:32,840 --> 02:30:36,800 Speaker 2: motherfuckers because they never accept any evidence to the contrary 2849 02:30:36,840 --> 02:30:39,959 Speaker 2: or their premise. Whenever that something happens that shows he's 2850 02:30:40,000 --> 02:30:43,480 Speaker 2: been working, it is working. Some people are getting convicted, 2851 02:30:43,640 --> 02:30:47,080 Speaker 2: they're constantly on top of things, and they're adding more shit. 2852 02:30:47,879 --> 02:30:50,360 Speaker 2: No one ever goes, oh, yeah, well shit, I mean, 2853 02:30:51,040 --> 02:30:52,720 Speaker 2: he's the right man for the job. He's doing a 2854 02:30:52,720 --> 02:30:55,120 Speaker 2: good job. No one ever fucking says that. It's so 2855 02:30:55,400 --> 02:30:58,800 Speaker 2: goddamn infuriating to see these people, you know, when he's 2856 02:30:58,840 --> 02:31:03,520 Speaker 2: fucking getting the water in Jackson under control, in addition 2857 02:31:03,600 --> 02:31:08,080 Speaker 2: to the seditious insurrection charges and shit that he's throwing 2858 02:31:08,120 --> 02:31:12,360 Speaker 2: at people like you just never see anybody back off 2859 02:31:12,400 --> 02:31:14,960 Speaker 2: and be like, yeah, he's fucking doing the job. He's 2860 02:31:14,959 --> 02:31:19,200 Speaker 2: going above me on and that dude, Doug what's his name, 2861 02:31:19,240 --> 02:31:23,840 Speaker 2: from either Alabama or whatever, like we Doug Jones. I 2862 02:31:23,920 --> 02:31:27,320 Speaker 2: think anyway, we have no fucking reason or proof that 2863 02:31:27,400 --> 02:31:31,440 Speaker 2: he would be any fucking different, right, there's just people's 2864 02:31:31,480 --> 02:31:37,680 Speaker 2: saying shit. Steven says family a fair part too. Riding car. 2865 02:31:37,879 --> 02:31:39,360 Speaker 2: This is my first time writing the show, even though 2866 02:31:39,360 --> 02:31:41,760 Speaker 2: I've been a listener since twenty seventeen. The email you 2867 02:31:41,800 --> 02:31:44,320 Speaker 2: read on episode twenty six, twenty nine, Julie the line 2868 02:31:44,400 --> 02:31:46,920 Speaker 2: prompted me to contact the show. You can imagine my 2869 02:31:46,959 --> 02:31:49,680 Speaker 2: surprise when I heard it was from my stepdaughter Carrington, 2870 02:31:50,400 --> 02:31:53,000 Speaker 2: just like you both. My response was all then when 2871 02:31:53,040 --> 02:31:55,240 Speaker 2: I listened to the sweet sentiment that she shared with you. 2872 02:31:55,720 --> 02:31:58,480 Speaker 2: I knew that she, her dad, and her brother listened 2873 02:31:58,480 --> 02:32:00,360 Speaker 2: to the show because we discussed it befo, but I 2874 02:32:00,400 --> 02:32:02,600 Speaker 2: had no idea she written any of you guys. There's 2875 02:32:02,600 --> 02:32:04,000 Speaker 2: a little more to the story that I wanted to 2876 02:32:04,000 --> 02:32:06,160 Speaker 2: share with you. I'm originally from North Carolina. I begain 2877 02:32:06,240 --> 02:32:08,560 Speaker 2: listening to the show on probably one of the worst 2878 02:32:08,640 --> 02:32:10,959 Speaker 2: days of my life. I'll spare the details, but just 2879 02:32:11,080 --> 02:32:13,240 Speaker 2: know you and Kara kept me company on the long 2880 02:32:13,360 --> 02:32:15,760 Speaker 2: ride and even made me laugh out loud, even though 2881 02:32:15,760 --> 02:32:18,000 Speaker 2: I didn't feel like it. I've been listening ever since. 2882 02:32:18,080 --> 02:32:21,120 Speaker 2: Carington's mother and I started as online friends, but our 2883 02:32:21,160 --> 02:32:24,000 Speaker 2: connection deepen during the pandemic. As an essential government worker, 2884 02:32:24,080 --> 02:32:26,040 Speaker 2: she got the COVID vaccine very early and we met 2885 02:32:26,080 --> 02:32:28,600 Speaker 2: in person for the first time. And Charlotte, North Carolina 2886 02:32:28,600 --> 02:32:32,320 Speaker 2: in February twenty twenty one, a world wind courtship ensued 2887 02:32:32,360 --> 02:32:34,400 Speaker 2: and I realized that I'd found the right one for me, 2888 02:32:34,520 --> 02:32:37,879 Speaker 2: so I decided to relocate from Greensboro to Kansas in 2889 02:32:37,920 --> 02:32:41,199 Speaker 2: February twenty twenty two. It was only like that's thirteen 2890 02:32:41,200 --> 02:32:41,720 Speaker 2: months later. 2891 02:32:41,760 --> 02:32:42,200 Speaker 1: Okay. 2892 02:32:42,879 --> 02:32:44,920 Speaker 2: I found a great job, sold my house, and we 2893 02:32:44,920 --> 02:32:49,360 Speaker 2: were married in August of this year. Wow's cute. Even 2894 02:32:49,400 --> 02:32:53,400 Speaker 2: though I'm a Midwestern and Westerner, now, North Carolina will 2895 02:32:53,400 --> 02:32:55,200 Speaker 2: always be in my heart. So I hold all the 2896 02:32:55,240 --> 02:32:57,160 Speaker 2: things that remind me of my home state very near 2897 02:32:57,160 --> 02:32:59,520 Speaker 2: and there, and that includes the Blackout Tips and UNC 2898 02:32:59,640 --> 02:33:03,480 Speaker 2: Basketba Gohills so much so, I wanted to include a 2899 02:33:03,480 --> 02:33:06,119 Speaker 2: picture on my Blackout Tips family. Even though my wife 2900 02:33:06,160 --> 02:33:08,560 Speaker 2: isn't a listener, she still hears the show and she 2901 02:33:08,760 --> 02:33:11,840 Speaker 2: even sometimes comments on what's being said. She doesn't listen 2902 02:33:11,920 --> 02:33:14,360 Speaker 2: to podcasts, but I'm working on her.

You know you're in over your head when 2918 02:34:06,480 --> 02:34:09,640 Speaker 2: Alex Jone looks visibly uncomfortable when you're praising the activities 2919 02:34:09,640 --> 02:34:12,160 Speaker 2: of Nazis. He went on the damn program and show 2920 02:34:12,200 --> 02:34:15,240 Speaker 2: both testes and a whole. At this point, they should 2921 02:34:15,400 --> 02:34:17,640 Speaker 2: there should not be anyone defending him, but the last 2922 02:34:17,640 --> 02:34:19,520 Speaker 2: that's not the world we live in. Rabbit fans of 2923 02:34:19,560 --> 02:34:21,959 Speaker 2: his are still saying this is some part of some 2924 02:34:22,080 --> 02:34:24,600 Speaker 2: playing what plan. They don't know either at this point, 2925 02:34:24,680 --> 02:34:26,960 Speaker 2: like these stories always go unless he gets the help 2926 02:34:27,000 --> 02:34:29,120 Speaker 2: he needs, we're basically waiting for him to do something 2927 02:34:29,120 --> 02:34:31,480 Speaker 2: that he cannot ever come back from. I remember when 2928 02:34:31,560 --> 02:34:33,760 Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle and other famous black man went over the 2929 02:34:33,760 --> 02:34:35,600 Speaker 2: whole i'man to visit him, and Dave said that he 2930 02:34:35,680 --> 02:34:38,480 Speaker 2: was fine, insane. He was clearly lying and we all knew. 2931 02:34:38,560 --> 02:34:41,360 Speaker 2: Everyone enable this. Now I think it's too late. M 2932 02:34:41,560 --> 02:34:45,560 Speaker 2: m yeah, basically everything he said. I like, yeah, I 2933 02:34:45,640 --> 02:34:47,280 Speaker 2: have nothing new to add to this shit. It's just 2934 02:34:47,320 --> 02:34:51,760 Speaker 2: the same shit. Like I love to have a different take, 2935 02:34:52,160 --> 02:34:55,880 Speaker 2: but I'll tell you what my different take is. I'm 2936 02:34:55,920 --> 02:34:59,760 Speaker 2: tired of people covering it just to dunk on it. 2937 02:35:01,160 --> 02:35:02,760 Speaker 2: You know what I mean, because that's what a lot 2938 02:35:02,760 --> 02:35:06,240 Speaker 2: of this is is, like it's it's I shouldn't say 2939 02:35:06,320 --> 02:35:11,720 Speaker 2: I'm tired of it. It's just from a content creator perspective, 2940 02:35:12,240 --> 02:35:17,040 Speaker 2: it's a layup. It's too easy, Like I want something 2941 02:35:17,040 --> 02:35:19,680 Speaker 2: a little more complicated than that for my podcast. So 2942 02:35:19,720 --> 02:35:22,520 Speaker 2: that's why we really don't talk about him in detail 2943 02:35:22,560 --> 02:35:25,640 Speaker 2: and play the clips and and oh, I can't believe 2944 02:35:25,680 --> 02:35:27,320 Speaker 2: he said that. Don't make no sense. I think he 2945 02:35:27,400 --> 02:35:31,039 Speaker 2: lied about this. It don't make no We know the 2946 02:35:31,120 --> 02:35:34,920 Speaker 2: Balenciaga stuff looked normal to me at first. Everyone online 2947 02:35:35,040 --> 02:35:36,800 Speaker 2: was like, ooh, it looks so bad to me. From 2948 02:35:36,800 --> 02:35:39,640 Speaker 2: the beginning. That's a lie. It was someone who always 2949 02:35:40,280 --> 02:35:42,320 Speaker 2: is online who zoomed in on some of the papers 2950 02:35:42,320 --> 02:35:43,959 Speaker 2: on the desk and saw legal papers that made us 2951 02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:46,280 Speaker 2: all aware of it. I don't think any normal person 2952 02:35:46,400 --> 02:35:48,119 Speaker 2: just looking at the ad would have noticed this, Even 2953 02:35:48,120 --> 02:35:50,320 Speaker 2: the people who worked on the thing didn't either. I 2954 02:35:50,360 --> 02:35:52,440 Speaker 2: personally think it was some weirdo person who sneaked that 2955 02:35:52,440 --> 02:35:54,440 Speaker 2: crap in there and ruined everything for that brand and 2956 02:35:54,480 --> 02:35:57,360 Speaker 2: the people involved. Everyone seems to care about this sort 2957 02:35:57,360 --> 02:36:00,480 Speaker 2: of thing only what seles and big brands are involved. Meanwhile, 2958 02:36:00,560 --> 02:36:03,920 Speaker 2: laws involved child crimes are still an antiquated and not 2959 02:36:04,280 --> 02:36:08,800 Speaker 2: have not been updated. Uh. Yeah, it totally went over 2960 02:36:08,840 --> 02:36:11,360 Speaker 2: my head shot through my man Bob from Firestar. He 2961 02:36:11,360 --> 02:36:13,720 Speaker 2: had d M me to tell me about the like 2962 02:36:14,640 --> 02:36:17,280 Speaker 2: the papers in there and people had zoomed in and 2963 02:36:17,320 --> 02:36:21,160 Speaker 2: it was like clear like trying to dog not dog whistle, 2964 02:36:21,200 --> 02:36:24,200 Speaker 2: would like bring up some pedophile shit as like an 2965 02:36:24,320 --> 02:36:27,400 Speaker 2: edgy way to promote this campaign and yeah, they getting 2966 02:36:27,400 --> 02:36:30,160 Speaker 2: fried and they deserve it. One more thing to Chris 2967 02:36:30,160 --> 02:36:32,400 Speaker 2: Brown almost performance from last week. I think the reason 2968 02:36:32,400 --> 02:36:35,240 Speaker 2: he couldn't perform was because Carucci has a lifelong restraining 2969 02:36:35,280 --> 02:36:37,959 Speaker 2: order against him. She was presenting that night to judge 2970 02:36:38,160 --> 02:36:40,640 Speaker 2: heard the voicemails he left her years ago, and order 2971 02:36:40,920 --> 02:36:44,080 Speaker 2: and ordered one. But nobody seems to talk about those things. 2972 02:36:44,080 --> 02:36:47,360 Speaker 2: People say, if Rihannack forgave you, you should you should too, 2973 02:36:47,840 --> 02:36:49,720 Speaker 2: as if she the only one he heard in that way, 2974 02:36:50,160 --> 02:36:53,720 Speaker 2: that we should forgive and move on personality or no, 2975 02:36:53,840 --> 02:36:56,840 Speaker 2: thank personally, no thanks, sorry for the rent, thanks off 2976 02:36:56,959 --> 02:36:59,959 Speaker 2: truly for the shelf step. From my understanding, once again, 2977 02:37:00,040 --> 02:37:02,200 Speaker 2: and secondhand information, I don't know if it's your y'all, 2978 02:37:02,280 --> 02:37:07,520 Speaker 2: let me know from my understanding, the caruci's restraining order 2979 02:37:07,560 --> 02:37:12,800 Speaker 2: has expired, so that they're saying that's not the reason. 2980 02:37:13,600 --> 02:37:16,280 Speaker 2: But a friend did hit me up and said, who 2981 02:37:16,520 --> 02:37:20,040 Speaker 2: is in the industry somewhat and she said it was 2982 02:37:20,440 --> 02:37:25,600 Speaker 2: him doing a tribute to Michael Jackson, who, regardless of 2983 02:37:25,600 --> 02:37:28,400 Speaker 2: how black people feel, for the most part, white people 2984 02:37:28,400 --> 02:37:32,600 Speaker 2: definitely think Michael Jackson did that shit. I mean, they 2985 02:37:32,640 --> 02:37:34,840 Speaker 2: make so many jokes about it and so much of 2986 02:37:34,879 --> 02:37:40,039 Speaker 2: their content. I know Black people are incomplete either denial 2987 02:37:40,280 --> 02:37:42,800 Speaker 2: or defense, you pick aside. I'm not trying to fight 2988 02:37:42,879 --> 02:37:46,720 Speaker 2: y'all today, but they black people are like Mike. You know, 2989 02:37:46,760 --> 02:37:49,039 Speaker 2: a lot of us are at a bigger percentage of 2990 02:37:49,080 --> 02:37:51,720 Speaker 2: us are more prone to be like either Mike didn't 2991 02:37:51,720 --> 02:37:53,480 Speaker 2: do it or they ain't got nothing to do with 2992 02:37:53,520 --> 02:37:54,160 Speaker 2: Mike's music. 2993 02:37:54,360 --> 02:37:54,480 Speaker 7: Right. 2994 02:37:55,640 --> 02:37:58,320 Speaker 2: White people don't feel that way, so they may have 2995 02:37:58,360 --> 02:38:03,320 Speaker 2: thought it was too much to have former or accused 2996 02:38:03,400 --> 02:38:07,480 Speaker 2: abuser and confirmed abuser in some cases, Chris Brown doing 2997 02:38:07,480 --> 02:38:11,199 Speaker 2: a tribute to Michael Jackson regardless of the fans picking 2998 02:38:11,240 --> 02:38:14,600 Speaker 2: his album and winning. The one thing that still does 2999 02:38:14,640 --> 02:38:18,080 Speaker 2: not make sense to me is, even with that reasoning, 3000 02:38:19,080 --> 02:38:23,200 Speaker 2: the Fan Choice awards booing the dude who won is 3001 02:38:23,240 --> 02:38:26,280 Speaker 2: still weird and it don't matter how you try to 3002 02:38:26,320 --> 02:38:29,680 Speaker 2: spend it. I can it can't have nothing to do 3003 02:38:29,720 --> 02:38:32,640 Speaker 2: with why he didn't perform. That had to be some 3004 02:38:32,800 --> 02:38:36,480 Speaker 2: weird stand shit like oh no, we wanted so and 3005 02:38:36,520 --> 02:38:41,720 Speaker 2: so to win because it don't make sense anyway, or no, no, no, sorry, 3006 02:38:41,760 --> 02:38:44,480 Speaker 2: it can make sense. There could be like some online 3007 02:38:44,600 --> 02:38:47,280 Speaker 2: contingent of people that just didn't show up who voted 3008 02:38:47,320 --> 02:38:50,560 Speaker 2: for Chris Brown or bots or something, and he's not 3009 02:38:50,680 --> 02:38:54,120 Speaker 2: really the most popular fan choice person and they were 3010 02:38:54,160 --> 02:38:56,240 Speaker 2: booing that. They were like, I didn't vote for this nigga, 3011 02:38:56,280 --> 02:39:00,000 Speaker 2: and everybody boo. I don't know anyway, not a big 3012 02:39:00,120 --> 02:39:03,680 Speaker 2: mystery to solve mister West. Mandy writ saying, dear Ryane Caroen, 3013 02:39:03,720 --> 02:39:07,200 Speaker 2: glad you all taking some carry yourself with some mean 3014 02:39:07,240 --> 02:39:10,120 Speaker 2: time during this holiday season. About Kanye West, I'm very 3015 02:39:10,160 --> 02:39:12,720 Speaker 2: perplexed about his actions and the public reactions to his 3016 02:39:12,840 --> 02:39:15,520 Speaker 2: recent ran against the Jews. If this was some white 3017 02:39:15,520 --> 02:39:18,920 Speaker 2: person that said all the anti Semitism rhetoric, people would 3018 02:39:18,920 --> 02:39:22,120 Speaker 2: want them to issue an apology, speak with Jewish organizations, 3019 02:39:22,160 --> 02:39:24,440 Speaker 2: and cancel him. How can I say this? It's like 3020 02:39:24,520 --> 02:39:26,720 Speaker 2: Kanye's saying, I said white lives matter, Let me prove 3021 02:39:26,760 --> 02:39:29,240 Speaker 2: it to you by being antisemitic and having white privilege 3022 02:39:29,440 --> 02:39:32,280 Speaker 2: because I'm wealthy and famous. If that makes sense, hope 3023 02:39:32,280 --> 02:39:35,800 Speaker 2: you get what I was trying to say. I don't 3024 02:39:35,800 --> 02:39:38,360 Speaker 2: think it necessarily makes sense because I don't think what 3025 02:39:38,440 --> 02:39:41,320 Speaker 2: Kanye's thinking makes sense right now. And that may be 3026 02:39:41,440 --> 02:39:45,120 Speaker 2: what he's thinking, it just don't There's no real logic 3027 02:39:45,200 --> 02:39:53,160 Speaker 2: to it. And I think also you're kind of glossing 3028 02:39:53,200 --> 02:39:57,120 Speaker 2: over that people do want him to apologize. People do 3029 02:39:57,160 --> 02:39:59,800 Speaker 2: want him to speak with Jewish organizations, and they have. 3030 02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:03,160 Speaker 2: I've canceled much of his contracts and money stuff. He 3031 02:40:03,400 --> 02:40:06,680 Speaker 2: just in his brain is not even calculating this as 3032 02:40:06,920 --> 02:40:10,120 Speaker 2: I should apologize and get my money back. He's like 3033 02:40:10,879 --> 02:40:12,640 Speaker 2: in his brain, he's like, this means I'm the savior. 3034 02:40:14,440 --> 02:40:16,400 Speaker 2: But none of that has yet to happen to Kanye though, 3035 02:40:16,440 --> 02:40:19,959 Speaker 2: because he is black and rich. No, no, man, he's 3036 02:40:19,959 --> 02:40:23,080 Speaker 2: skipping up. It has happened. He's lost there's some billions 3037 02:40:23,240 --> 02:40:26,200 Speaker 2: dollars or some shit, like he not a billionaire no more. 3038 02:40:26,360 --> 02:40:29,760 Speaker 2: He has lost things. I just don't think he cares. Nope, 3039 02:40:29,800 --> 02:40:34,560 Speaker 2: I don't think one. He'll never be broke broke, like 3040 02:40:34,879 --> 02:40:38,440 Speaker 2: like you know, eating that CC's pizza broke. So he 3041 02:40:38,560 --> 02:40:42,000 Speaker 2: gonna always have some level of money and fame. And 3042 02:40:42,080 --> 02:40:46,240 Speaker 2: I just don't think he cares. He'll sacrifice the status. 3043 02:40:46,520 --> 02:40:49,920 Speaker 2: His brain right now saying I will sacrifice being a 3044 02:40:50,040 --> 02:40:54,320 Speaker 2: billionaire to tell the quote unquote truth. So there's no pressure. 3045 02:40:55,080 --> 02:40:57,680 Speaker 2: I think this is the frustrating thing about Kanye. Everyone's 3046 02:40:57,720 --> 02:41:02,080 Speaker 2: engaging him like he's not mentally ill, right, Like there's 3047 02:41:02,080 --> 02:41:05,120 Speaker 2: a logic and a reason. Yeah, there's some point where 3048 02:41:05,120 --> 02:41:08,720 Speaker 2: he's gonna go, oh, I see, He's never gonna see 3049 02:41:09,400 --> 02:41:11,600 Speaker 2: and so you have to It's like a drug addict 3050 02:41:11,640 --> 02:41:14,440 Speaker 2: that won't get help. You just have to be like, 3051 02:41:14,480 --> 02:41:16,119 Speaker 2: well you can't come in my house and keep stealing 3052 02:41:16,160 --> 02:41:18,960 Speaker 2: my silverware, right, So I'm just locking the door, and 3053 02:41:19,040 --> 02:41:20,880 Speaker 2: that's what I've mentally done. I've just locked the door 3054 02:41:20,879 --> 02:41:25,440 Speaker 2: on Kanye. But yeah, hey, this hate. Just like Lebron 3055 02:41:25,520 --> 02:41:28,120 Speaker 2: is saying, the media needs to go get on Jerry 3056 02:41:28,160 --> 02:41:30,080 Speaker 2: Jones for what he did and the old pick in 3057 02:41:30,080 --> 02:41:32,760 Speaker 2: the nineteen fifties during segregation in the lead Kyrie alone 3058 02:41:33,080 --> 02:41:36,200 Speaker 2: for his anti semitism. I hate when statements are made 3059 02:41:36,320 --> 02:41:38,280 Speaker 2: like that from black people because it's saying let black 3060 02:41:38,320 --> 02:41:41,520 Speaker 2: people be and it's the phobic person because white people 3061 02:41:41,560 --> 02:41:43,400 Speaker 2: get away with that and we need to get that 3062 02:41:43,440 --> 02:41:45,720 Speaker 2: same treatment as well. First of all, that's not really 3063 02:41:45,720 --> 02:41:49,840 Speaker 2: what Lebron said, and Lebron was the person that spoke 3064 02:41:49,840 --> 02:41:53,720 Speaker 2: out against Kyrie Irvans anti semitism. I think what Lebron said, 3065 02:41:54,320 --> 02:41:55,920 Speaker 2: and you can disagree with her, of course, but what 3066 02:41:56,000 --> 02:42:01,920 Speaker 2: he said was Kyrie's apologized and done steps to redress 3067 02:42:01,959 --> 02:42:06,160 Speaker 2: the harm. It's time to move on. That's what he 3068 02:42:06,320 --> 02:42:10,720 Speaker 2: was saying. Jerry Jones has never apologized, He's does not 3069 02:42:10,959 --> 02:42:15,640 Speaker 2: addressed any harm. He's sixty something years later going it 3070 02:42:15,680 --> 02:42:17,360 Speaker 2: was no big deal. I was just there to see 3071 02:42:17,360 --> 02:42:19,720 Speaker 2: what was happening. I don't even know why this will 3072 02:42:19,760 --> 02:42:22,360 Speaker 2: be something to apologize for, so I do think those 3073 02:42:22,400 --> 02:42:26,320 Speaker 2: are two different things. But also most importantly, he didn't 3074 02:42:26,320 --> 02:42:29,840 Speaker 2: even really say hold Jerry Jones accountable. That's given Lebron 3075 02:42:29,879 --> 02:42:31,560 Speaker 2: a little too much credit. What he really said was 3076 02:42:31,560 --> 02:42:34,600 Speaker 2: why didn't y'all ask me about Jerry Jones? So who 3077 02:42:34,600 --> 02:42:36,959 Speaker 2: knows what the fuck he would us said. He might 3078 02:42:37,000 --> 02:42:38,280 Speaker 2: have been like, I don't have a problem with it, 3079 02:42:38,360 --> 02:42:40,440 Speaker 2: or he might have been like, you know, it's bad, 3080 02:42:40,520 --> 02:42:44,200 Speaker 2: but it ain't that bad, you know, Like I think 3081 02:42:44,240 --> 02:42:46,360 Speaker 2: he implied a lot of past aggressive stuff, but he 3082 02:42:46,360 --> 02:42:50,279 Speaker 2: didn't really. That was the weird thing about Lebron's statement. 3083 02:42:50,320 --> 02:42:53,960 Speaker 2: He didn't really say anything. I mean, he pointed out 3084 02:42:53,959 --> 02:43:02,320 Speaker 2: the hypocricy of media rooms not not understanding like racial 3085 02:43:02,400 --> 02:43:05,400 Speaker 2: questions and stuff like that, like they want to ask 3086 02:43:05,440 --> 02:43:08,640 Speaker 2: him about Black Lives Matter and Kaepernick but not Jerry Jones. 3087 02:43:09,120 --> 02:43:12,320 Speaker 2: That's a valid point, but it wasn't. He didn't really 3088 02:43:12,360 --> 02:43:14,600 Speaker 2: put a stance down in any of that. And it's 3089 02:43:14,600 --> 02:43:17,320 Speaker 2: been days now and I'm thinking about it. He's never 3090 02:43:17,360 --> 02:43:21,080 Speaker 2: really updated us with us stance. So whatever happened the 3091 02:43:21,080 --> 02:43:22,879 Speaker 2: next time he got interviewed or whatever. It's not like 3092 02:43:22,959 --> 02:43:24,800 Speaker 2: they brought up Jerry Jones and then Lebron had some 3093 02:43:24,840 --> 02:43:29,240 Speaker 2: deep shit to say. So it's very weird. Black people 3094 02:43:29,280 --> 02:43:31,000 Speaker 2: need to be held accountable for our actions. Just because 3095 02:43:31,000 --> 02:43:32,720 Speaker 2: I'm Black does not mean I have to engage in 3096 02:43:32,760 --> 02:43:36,160 Speaker 2: any ism or phobia whatsoever towards anyone. But everyone's just 3097 02:43:36,200 --> 02:43:38,400 Speaker 2: saying Kanye needs health. He's crazy, He's going through it. 3098 02:43:38,800 --> 02:43:40,840 Speaker 2: He will get over this, but it's not working. I 3099 02:43:40,879 --> 02:43:42,760 Speaker 2: hate to say this, but this is how we navigate 3100 02:43:42,760 --> 02:43:45,280 Speaker 2: mental illness in the black community. It's sad to say this, 3101 02:43:45,440 --> 02:43:47,400 Speaker 2: but it's true. People do not care about as well 3102 02:43:47,440 --> 02:43:49,680 Speaker 2: being really because it's all the money game and clout. 3103 02:43:50,120 --> 02:43:51,760 Speaker 2: It just does not sit well with me. I do 3104 02:43:52,720 --> 02:43:55,320 Speaker 2: not want to say I hope his lost on Kanye, 3105 02:43:55,440 --> 02:43:56,240 Speaker 2: but I'm disgusted. 3106 02:43:57,280 --> 02:44:00,600 Speaker 1: Also, he's responsible for his own mental health. Once you 3107 02:44:00,640 --> 02:44:03,760 Speaker 1: get to that foundation, a lot of the responsibility is 3108 02:44:03,840 --> 02:44:05,680 Speaker 1: taking off of you because he is. 3109 02:44:06,720 --> 02:44:08,480 Speaker 2: And you know, it's. 3110 02:44:08,320 --> 02:44:12,280 Speaker 1: One of those things too, to where like like I said, 3111 02:44:12,280 --> 02:44:15,560 Speaker 1: people are responding and saying these things, Yes, he's still accountable. 3112 02:44:16,040 --> 02:44:18,440 Speaker 1: Both can be true. He is accountable for his own 3113 02:44:18,480 --> 02:44:20,840 Speaker 1: mental health, and he's saying fucked up shit. They both 3114 02:44:20,879 --> 02:44:22,800 Speaker 1: could be true, but a lot of people that like 3115 02:44:22,920 --> 02:44:25,080 Speaker 1: acting like the mental illness piece is just not there, 3116 02:44:26,000 --> 02:44:27,360 Speaker 1: and that's the problem. 3117 02:44:27,879 --> 02:44:31,199 Speaker 2: Also, Like I just feel like, man, the's glossing over things. 3118 02:44:31,920 --> 02:44:34,280 Speaker 2: When you say hold him accountable, you mean like what 3119 02:44:34,520 --> 02:44:40,280 Speaker 2: take away his Adidas contract, close his school, lose you 3120 02:44:40,280 --> 02:44:43,760 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, lose all his money in his 3121 02:44:43,879 --> 02:44:49,200 Speaker 2: shoes and his and his fashions. Like he is being 3122 02:44:49,280 --> 02:44:52,480 Speaker 2: held accountable. I don't think in some ways, I don't 3123 02:44:52,480 --> 02:44:56,560 Speaker 2: think he cares right, And in this current climate, every 3124 02:44:56,640 --> 02:44:59,320 Speaker 2: single one of these people, even the worst of the worst, 3125 02:44:59,760 --> 02:45:01,720 Speaker 2: have there's a group of people that will back them 3126 02:45:01,840 --> 02:45:05,040 Speaker 2: to the grave. Yes, it don't matter what Alex Jones 3127 02:45:05,080 --> 02:45:08,160 Speaker 2: still got fans like. It's just so if we're looking 3128 02:45:08,200 --> 02:45:12,800 Speaker 2: for a one hundred percent complete ostracization of Kanye West, 3129 02:45:13,280 --> 02:45:15,600 Speaker 2: it's never gonna happen. And as long as you make 3130 02:45:15,640 --> 02:45:18,360 Speaker 2: that your goal, you're gonna always feel bad. But I 3131 02:45:18,400 --> 02:45:21,360 Speaker 2: think in a low, low key you're pathologizing black people 3132 02:45:21,360 --> 02:45:24,160 Speaker 2: in a way that's unfair to us, cause you're saying 3133 02:45:24,200 --> 02:45:28,040 Speaker 2: like we should have some monolithic response to this dude 3134 02:45:28,440 --> 02:45:33,199 Speaker 2: that is never in any other area when it comes 3135 02:45:33,240 --> 02:45:35,760 Speaker 2: to within the group. Really, you know what I'm saying, 3136 02:45:35,760 --> 02:45:38,360 Speaker 2: there's no group that doesn't have a person or two 3137 02:45:39,320 --> 02:45:42,760 Speaker 2: like this that some that some people within the group 3138 02:45:43,040 --> 02:45:45,560 Speaker 2: make excuses for, whether it be women, whether it be 3139 02:45:45,640 --> 02:45:48,400 Speaker 2: Jewish people, whether it be gay people, whether there's always 3140 02:45:48,400 --> 02:45:52,039 Speaker 2: some level of like contingent within the group that's like, yeah, 3141 02:45:52,160 --> 02:45:54,480 Speaker 2: but you see what I'm saying, And so I don't 3142 02:45:54,480 --> 02:45:58,280 Speaker 2: think black people are any exception of that. I just 3143 02:45:58,400 --> 02:46:02,560 Speaker 2: do not listen to or with them niggas period. If 3144 02:46:02,600 --> 02:46:04,640 Speaker 2: you're out here collins Man and genius, you're saying he 3145 02:46:04,720 --> 02:46:06,840 Speaker 2: making some good points. If you're thinking he needs to 3146 02:46:06,840 --> 02:46:09,280 Speaker 2: be interviewed, you're listening to every interview, you're thinking he 3147 02:46:09,320 --> 02:46:12,879 Speaker 2: should uh, you know, if you're thinking like his mental 3148 02:46:12,920 --> 02:46:15,920 Speaker 2: illness is like an excuse and that he can't be, 3149 02:46:16,480 --> 02:46:19,279 Speaker 2: you know, he can't be. He shouldn't be losing contracts 3150 02:46:19,280 --> 02:46:22,200 Speaker 2: and shit, demand just ain't healthy. If you're one of 3151 02:46:22,240 --> 02:46:25,320 Speaker 2: these people, I really not fucking with you anyway. So 3152 02:46:25,400 --> 02:46:29,480 Speaker 2: I guess that's why for me, it's very cut and dry, like, yes, 3153 02:46:29,520 --> 02:46:32,560 Speaker 2: he's mentally ill, Yes he does, he should get help, 3154 02:46:33,080 --> 02:46:36,840 Speaker 2: and no, that shouldn't stop anybody from not fucking with him. 3155 02:46:37,080 --> 02:46:40,320 Speaker 2: That's all that's to me is very simple. But like 3156 02:46:40,360 --> 02:46:42,520 Speaker 2: I said, I get it and it's right in again 3157 02:46:42,560 --> 02:46:45,480 Speaker 2: to say, dear Roddy Caan just just came to me. 3158 02:46:45,480 --> 02:46:47,120 Speaker 2: What if the main reason no one wants to label 3159 02:46:47,200 --> 02:46:50,720 Speaker 2: Kanye as an anti semic because people will use having 3160 02:46:50,720 --> 02:46:54,800 Speaker 2: a mental illness or episode causes anti Semitism, racism, and homophobia. 3161 02:46:55,080 --> 02:46:57,560 Speaker 2: I noticed people are trying to dance around labeling him 3162 02:46:57,560 --> 02:46:59,840 Speaker 2: anti Semitic, and I and don't want to sound racist 3163 02:46:59,840 --> 02:47:06,480 Speaker 2: by saying so maybe I think there's a weird thing 3164 02:47:06,560 --> 02:47:10,400 Speaker 2: that people are doing. And I'm really not trying to 3165 02:47:10,440 --> 02:47:12,680 Speaker 2: be controversial, but I think it's weird when we tell 3166 02:47:12,760 --> 02:47:17,240 Speaker 2: somebody what mental illness won't do. I just think it's weird. 3167 02:47:17,360 --> 02:47:19,320 Speaker 2: I think I think if mental illness can make a 3168 02:47:19,360 --> 02:47:23,320 Speaker 2: person murder their mother, then there then mental illness can 3169 02:47:23,400 --> 02:47:27,880 Speaker 2: probably make somebody uh glim onto some racism or bigotry. 3170 02:47:27,920 --> 02:47:30,840 Speaker 2: I think it can and just the same way I 3171 02:47:30,840 --> 02:47:33,160 Speaker 2: think what happens is people didn't go. So you're saying 3172 02:47:33,240 --> 02:47:36,720 Speaker 2: all racism and bigotry is mental illness. No, I'm not 3173 02:47:36,760 --> 02:47:40,200 Speaker 2: saying that, but I'm saying the brain chemistry is the 3174 02:47:40,240 --> 02:47:43,840 Speaker 2: brain chemistry. There's people that weren't acting like whatever, they 3175 02:47:43,840 --> 02:47:47,120 Speaker 2: were acting like, weren't taking their meds, and then just 3176 02:47:47,160 --> 02:47:50,320 Speaker 2: fucking do some wild, out of character shit or go 3177 02:47:50,400 --> 02:47:53,320 Speaker 2: on some weird fucking tangent and out into my brain. 3178 02:47:54,320 --> 02:47:56,800 Speaker 2: I'm so privileged to have a brain that only got 3179 02:47:56,840 --> 02:47:59,680 Speaker 2: to deal with like anxiety or whatever. I just go, 3180 02:47:59,840 --> 02:48:03,480 Speaker 2: I do not understand everything the brain is capable of. 3181 02:48:04,160 --> 02:48:06,240 Speaker 2: That's not my fight, of my struggle, And I don't 3182 02:48:06,280 --> 02:48:10,800 Speaker 2: feel any need to vilify them or like stand on 3183 02:48:10,840 --> 02:48:14,080 Speaker 2: my soapbox or like what I when I was off 3184 02:48:14,160 --> 02:48:17,200 Speaker 2: my mass, I didn't hate Jewish people. It's like, well, 3185 02:48:17,280 --> 02:48:20,440 Speaker 2: you're not supposed to, Like duh, nigga, that's not your fight, 3186 02:48:20,600 --> 02:48:25,440 Speaker 2: you know. So even there's grades to bipolar, there's grades 3187 02:48:25,520 --> 02:48:28,280 Speaker 2: just chizophrenia. Like a lot of this stuff is just 3188 02:48:28,360 --> 02:48:33,000 Speaker 2: not quantifiable in a black and white way. So I 3189 02:48:33,040 --> 02:48:36,119 Speaker 2: do think people have written themselves into a weird corner 3190 02:48:36,120 --> 02:48:41,480 Speaker 2: where they can't say what they probably believe, which is 3191 02:48:42,240 --> 02:48:47,720 Speaker 2: we think Kanye's anti Semitism is strongly connected to his 3192 02:48:48,000 --> 02:48:52,160 Speaker 2: untreated bipolar disorder. No, I just think people are because 3193 02:48:52,200 --> 02:48:55,160 Speaker 2: we've said too often, like it's no excuse there's no Okay, 3194 02:48:55,640 --> 02:48:59,120 Speaker 2: mental health does not make you racist. Okay, it can't. 3195 02:48:59,160 --> 02:49:02,120 Speaker 2: It's impossible, and racist people don't need no excuses. It's 3196 02:49:02,120 --> 02:49:04,640 Speaker 2: not a mental illness. And we've done it so much 3197 02:49:04,680 --> 02:49:07,160 Speaker 2: that when we're watching it happen to somebody, we're like, 3198 02:49:07,440 --> 02:49:09,360 Speaker 2: that can't be what it is. I don't know. It's 3199 02:49:09,360 --> 02:49:12,120 Speaker 2: been a couple of years. The motherfucker won't take his 3200 02:49:12,200 --> 02:49:14,440 Speaker 2: mens and he won't stop talking about these Jews. It 3201 02:49:14,520 --> 02:49:18,920 Speaker 2: wasn't happening. They hell of a coincidence, hell of a coincidence. 3202 02:49:19,440 --> 02:49:22,560 Speaker 2: So I don't know. Maybe, but yeah, if you want 3203 02:49:22,560 --> 02:49:24,600 Speaker 2: to call it anti semitic, I've heard people say that. 3204 02:49:24,720 --> 02:49:26,800 Speaker 2: I really haven't seen a lot of pushback against call 3205 02:49:26,879 --> 02:49:30,200 Speaker 2: him at ta semitic. But I also once again will 3206 02:49:30,240 --> 02:49:33,240 Speaker 2: highlight I do not talk to these motherfuckers y'all talk to. 3207 02:49:34,200 --> 02:49:37,920 Speaker 2: So if there's somebody making these weird defenses of him, 3208 02:49:38,280 --> 02:49:40,240 Speaker 2: your boy has missed out on it, because I would 3209 02:49:40,280 --> 02:49:42,280 Speaker 2: never waste my motherfucking time.

Hello twenty six forty one 3212 02:49:48,959 --> 02:49:50,920 Speaker 2: calling a prime out Aaron says hell, all right, and Karen, 3213 02:49:50,920 --> 02:49:52,400 Speaker 2: I used to work in financial aid and I had 3214 02:49:52,400 --> 02:49:55,040 Speaker 2: to deal with students who didn't meet the GPA requirements 3215 02:49:55,120 --> 02:49:56,680 Speaker 2: during the year, and that grants and loans will be 3216 02:49:56,720 --> 02:49:59,280 Speaker 2: canceled until they brought that GPA up, so that meant 3217 02:49:59,280 --> 02:50:01,720 Speaker 2: paying for class the pocket until your GPA was good. 3218 02:50:02,040 --> 02:50:04,600 Speaker 2: Students could appeal to get their aid back in the 3219 02:50:04,600 --> 02:50:06,960 Speaker 2: head of the Financial aid department with review each situation 3220 02:50:07,040 --> 02:50:10,039 Speaker 2: with their team. Students who were in a situation like divorce, 3221 02:50:10,120 --> 02:50:13,280 Speaker 2: death or family member car accident, etc. Would most likely 3222 02:50:13,320 --> 02:50:15,959 Speaker 2: have their appeal excepted because the situation happened and they 3223 02:50:16,040 --> 02:50:19,320 Speaker 2: were able to agree properly or have a resolution. With 3224 02:50:19,400 --> 02:50:24,039 Speaker 2: mental health circumstances, unless they indicate they were in therapy 3225 02:50:24,160 --> 02:50:28,160 Speaker 2: or on medication, those appeals usually didn't pass because if 3226 02:50:28,240 --> 02:50:32,120 Speaker 2: they still are going through the same thing, was it 3227 02:50:32,200 --> 02:50:36,080 Speaker 2: What is to say that they will now be successful Now. 3228 02:50:36,120 --> 02:50:38,879 Speaker 2: We were in an online university, so we didn't have 3229 02:50:39,000 --> 02:50:43,000 Speaker 2: the assistances for students and with mental health problems. But 3230 02:50:43,080 --> 02:50:45,680 Speaker 2: I think even though Yale and other institutions are business, 3231 02:50:45,680 --> 02:50:47,680 Speaker 2: they should try to help the students instead of just 3232 02:50:47,760 --> 02:50:49,600 Speaker 2: kicking them out and not letting them back in. But 3233 02:50:49,680 --> 02:50:51,959 Speaker 2: I also understand because many schools want to keep the 3234 02:50:51,959 --> 02:50:55,800 Speaker 2: money flowing to have a strong reputation. Aaron, Yeah, Real 3235 02:50:55,840 --> 02:50:58,199 Speaker 2: Cash twenty two.

Just another example 3321 02:55:25,360 --> 02:55:28,680 Speaker 2: of conservatives having everything backwards. What the family fears is 3322 02:55:28,720 --> 02:55:31,000 Speaker 2: that her colleague experience will give her the tools and 3323 02:55:31,080 --> 02:55:34,400 Speaker 2: lived experienced a challenge, and I learned their brainwashing both 3324 02:55:34,480 --> 02:55:37,680 Speaker 2: whatever Christian morals Dave indoctrinated her in sense birth, as 3325 02:55:37,680 --> 02:55:40,920 Speaker 2: well as with all the white supremacist, patriarchal bullshit that 3326 02:55:41,040 --> 02:55:43,120 Speaker 2: is everywhere in our society. I've seen this sort of 3327 02:55:43,160 --> 02:55:46,120 Speaker 2: thing firsthand. My dad is an old school buck Buckley 3328 02:55:46,240 --> 02:55:49,600 Speaker 2: style conservative, and he had a list of schools that 3329 02:55:49,720 --> 02:55:51,640 Speaker 2: my sister and I couldn't go to because he thought 3330 02:55:51,959 --> 02:55:55,320 Speaker 2: we would both get indoctrinated with radical feminism or such 3331 02:55:55,560 --> 02:55:58,840 Speaker 2: some such. This fear of woke or PC college campuses 3332 02:55:58,920 --> 02:56:02,080 Speaker 2: is real and has been probably since integration is so silly, 3333 02:56:02,120 --> 02:56:05,400 Speaker 2: but it's real among white people. Rod. I really appreciate 3334 02:56:05,400 --> 02:56:07,840 Speaker 2: the deep dive on friendship for adult man. It's something 3335 02:56:07,879 --> 02:56:10,760 Speaker 2: I've realized that I need more recently. Like you said, 3336 02:56:11,280 --> 02:56:13,280 Speaker 2: as much as I love my wife and she will 3337 02:56:13,280 --> 02:56:15,279 Speaker 2: always be my best friend, it's not fair and healthy 3338 02:56:15,280 --> 02:56:19,360 Speaker 2: for us to have nobody else mm hm, because that 3339 02:56:19,520 --> 02:56:22,120 Speaker 2: does broach into what Karen was talking about, and I 3340 02:56:22,160 --> 02:56:25,400 Speaker 2: think that's where Karen was going earlier that I completely 3341 02:56:25,600 --> 02:56:27,320 Speaker 2: the only reason I was like, we don't even have 3342 02:56:27,360 --> 02:56:30,680 Speaker 2: to talk about it, because I completely agree if these 3343 02:56:30,760 --> 02:56:33,880 Speaker 2: men that go, I don't have any male healthy friendships. 3344 02:56:34,320 --> 02:56:38,520 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna just dump everything onto my wife and 3345 02:56:38,560 --> 02:56:41,480 Speaker 2: she needs to be my therapist and my best friend 3346 02:56:41,520 --> 02:56:46,320 Speaker 2: and my only outlet. That to me seems so shortsighted 3347 02:56:46,560 --> 02:56:51,600 Speaker 2: and intense. And if you start throwing in the actual labor, 3348 02:56:51,680 --> 02:56:55,760 Speaker 2: not just emotional, but the actual labor divide in our household, 3349 02:56:56,320 --> 02:56:58,720 Speaker 2: and you see that a lot of times women do 3350 02:56:58,840 --> 02:57:02,320 Speaker 2: the bulk of it and get the least amount of reciprocation. 3351 02:57:03,200 --> 02:57:06,279 Speaker 2: Once you add that in there, it's just a fucking uh. 3352 02:57:07,520 --> 02:57:11,160 Speaker 2: It's just like a blueprint for a fucked up relationship. 3353 02:57:11,480 --> 02:57:12,320 Speaker 4: M m m. 3354 02:57:12,520 --> 02:57:16,720 Speaker 1: And then all all people that I've made equally, there's 3355 02:57:16,760 --> 02:57:19,680 Speaker 1: so women to go fuck this and fuck you and 3356 02:57:19,720 --> 02:57:21,520 Speaker 1: they're like, I'm not doing this no more. 3357 02:57:22,160 --> 02:57:24,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I mean, yeah, that's what I'm saying. 3358 02:57:24,400 --> 02:57:26,960 Speaker 2: It's it's almost like you're making it for where a 3359 02:57:26,959 --> 02:57:29,040 Speaker 2: woman would want to do that. It's like all I 3360 02:57:29,080 --> 02:57:30,920 Speaker 2: got to do all the fucking work around here, and 3361 02:57:31,160 --> 02:57:34,160 Speaker 2: just like who, I can't really vent to you, You're 3362 02:57:34,160 --> 02:57:36,760 Speaker 2: always venting to me, I can't really lean on you. 3363 02:57:36,760 --> 02:57:39,080 Speaker 2: You always leaning on me, and I'm a break you know. 3364 02:57:39,280 --> 02:57:42,240 Speaker 2: M huh. But yeah. Another thing I've noticed is that 3365 02:57:42,280 --> 02:57:45,400 Speaker 2: once we men start to settle down with wives and partners, 3366 02:57:45,400 --> 02:57:47,600 Speaker 2: et cetera, we also realized that a lot of our 3367 02:57:47,600 --> 02:57:49,840 Speaker 2: friends circle was based primarily on going out and trying 3368 02:57:49,879 --> 02:57:52,320 Speaker 2: to get laid. I realized that I had several friends 3369 02:57:52,360 --> 02:57:55,760 Speaker 2: who were really nothing more than that. Yeah, yeah, for sure, 3370 02:57:55,840 --> 02:57:58,879 Speaker 2: I see that.

Now? 3405 02:59:36,440 --> 02:59:38,959 Speaker 2: This clip is what I was I wasn't gonna say 3406 02:59:38,959 --> 02:59:40,480 Speaker 2: the clips I really get to use. I was gonna 3407 02:59:40,520 --> 02:59:43,039 Speaker 2: end this sent it's totally different. What I'm saying is 3408 02:59:43,480 --> 02:59:47,119 Speaker 2: there's a couple of clips that I find how fucking 3409 02:59:47,200 --> 02:59:51,480 Speaker 2: ilarious that are wrong on so many levels. Oh, I 3410 02:59:51,520 --> 02:59:53,640 Speaker 2: can see that, and this is one of those. It's 3411 02:59:53,680 --> 02:59:57,320 Speaker 2: like the I think the cutaway was something like, oh, well, 3412 02:59:57,320 --> 03:00:01,240 Speaker 2: that's like when a black woman told told you something 3413 03:00:01,240 --> 03:00:03,160 Speaker 2: and you didn't listen and they have to let you know, 3414 03:00:03,320 --> 03:00:05,360 Speaker 2: like whatever it was. And then it cuts to like 3415 03:00:05,400 --> 03:00:07,640 Speaker 2: a black woman in a beauty salon. It's clearly a 3416 03:00:07,680 --> 03:00:11,959 Speaker 2: white man doing his voice of what a black woman 3417 03:00:12,040 --> 03:00:16,400 Speaker 2: sounds like, and that even makes it more hilarious. And 3418 03:00:16,480 --> 03:00:19,199 Speaker 2: I get that some people will find that extremely offensive 3419 03:00:19,280 --> 03:00:21,320 Speaker 2: or whatever, and I'm not arguing with them there that's 3420 03:00:21,320 --> 03:00:25,279 Speaker 2: their bird crossed the bear. But for me, it god damn, 3421 03:00:25,280 --> 03:00:27,200 Speaker 2: that shit was so funny. And then another one that 3422 03:00:27,280 --> 03:00:29,440 Speaker 2: stands out to me that I have never even saved 3423 03:00:30,040 --> 03:00:37,959 Speaker 2: to do on this show, but it's Robot Chicken and this, uh, 3424 03:00:39,040 --> 03:00:45,240 Speaker 2: it was this clip where I don't even know how 3425 03:00:45,240 --> 03:00:48,000 Speaker 2: to find it, but it was this clip where it 3426 03:00:48,120 --> 03:00:54,199 Speaker 2: was like a like twelve angry men spoof, right, and 3427 03:00:54,520 --> 03:01:00,480 Speaker 2: the one black person on the black character because animated 3428 03:01:00,520 --> 03:01:03,280 Speaker 2: show kind of the one black character in the spoof 3429 03:01:03,879 --> 03:01:08,760 Speaker 2: talks real for lack of a better term, slavey to talk, 3430 03:01:08,840 --> 03:01:12,480 Speaker 2: you know, And so they had the person like the 3431 03:01:12,600 --> 03:01:15,560 Speaker 2: character like talk like. It was like and how do 3432 03:01:15,600 --> 03:01:18,240 Speaker 2: you rule or whatever. It's like, oh yo, honor, we 3433 03:01:18,440 --> 03:01:22,760 Speaker 2: find the defend that, right, And so there's this beat 3434 03:01:22,840 --> 03:01:28,760 Speaker 2: because it's like this offensive racial like accent and probably 3435 03:01:28,800 --> 03:01:32,480 Speaker 2: done by a white man. But then the dude looks 3436 03:01:32,480 --> 03:01:36,480 Speaker 2: at the camera and says, what every black person on 3437 03:01:36,560 --> 03:01:40,120 Speaker 2: TV got to be a positible tear role model, And 3438 03:01:40,440 --> 03:01:46,000 Speaker 2: oh my god, it's not just funny. It's extremely smart. Like, 3439 03:01:46,040 --> 03:01:49,760 Speaker 2: it's not just funny. Like the only thing truly quote 3440 03:01:49,840 --> 03:01:53,320 Speaker 2: unquote offensive about it to me is a white person 3441 03:01:53,360 --> 03:01:55,320 Speaker 2: made the joke. But I'm not. But if I'm being frank, 3442 03:01:55,400 --> 03:01:57,640 Speaker 2: I'm not even really offended. I think funny is funny, 3443 03:01:58,120 --> 03:02:02,160 Speaker 2: but it's so goddamn funny and right and it's relevant. 3444 03:02:02,240 --> 03:02:06,600 Speaker 2: I think of this almost every time a black person 3445 03:02:06,879 --> 03:02:12,400 Speaker 2: gets real respectable about representation on TV, social media, whatever. 3446 03:02:12,879 --> 03:02:16,359 Speaker 2: I always think, like, why isn't our race gotta always 3447 03:02:16,360 --> 03:02:20,880 Speaker 2: one hundred have positive role models. Some people are just 3448 03:02:21,040 --> 03:02:24,720 Speaker 2: fucked up and people like them, or they're charismatic but 3449 03:02:24,800 --> 03:02:28,280 Speaker 2: it has no reflection on me. Like Chris Brown might 3450 03:02:28,320 --> 03:02:31,160 Speaker 2: be fucked up. That ain't got shit to do with me. 3451 03:02:31,280 --> 03:02:32,800 Speaker 2: If you think Chris Brown's fucked up, you know what 3452 03:02:32,840 --> 03:02:35,360 Speaker 2: I mean? Pick the person actually I shouldn't even said 3453 03:02:35,360 --> 03:02:37,200 Speaker 2: the name, but pick a person that you are like, 3454 03:02:37,240 --> 03:02:40,680 Speaker 2: that person's the worst. I'm not sitting around being like 3455 03:02:40,760 --> 03:02:43,680 Speaker 2: and that person represents how I feel, you know what 3456 03:02:43,760 --> 03:02:46,920 Speaker 2: I mean? And that's that ah and that just and 3457 03:02:47,160 --> 03:02:49,600 Speaker 2: or like insecure when they're like, we're out the condoms 3458 03:02:49,600 --> 03:02:52,360 Speaker 2: and I just want that that clip.
