1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to Naked Sports, the podcast where we live at

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: the intersection of sports, politics, and culture. Our purpose reveal

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: the common threads that bind them all.

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: So what's happening in women's basketball right now is what

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: we've been trying.

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 3: To get to for almost thirty years.

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: From the stadiums where athlete to break barriers and set records.

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 4: Caitlin Quark broke the all time single game assists record.

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 4: This is crazy for rookies to be doing.

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Our discussions will uncover the vital connections between these realms

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: and the community we create. Welcome to Naked Sports. I'm

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: your host, Carrie Champion. Hey, everybody, welcome back to Naked Sports.

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: Carrie Champion Here. I am in LA and I've been

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: here for the last two weeks so I have been

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: using the LA Studios. I heard LA Studios, and I

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: love it. Everyone here is amazing. It's easy, it's convenient,

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: all of the things as long as you're willing to drive.

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: I will say this because you guys already know this.

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: I have been living back and forth between New York

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: and LA, but this last year I've pretty much made

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: New York my resting place in the sense that I

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: wanted to spend more time in New York just to

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: get a real feel of it. As it is January,

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to be there because it's cold, the

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: COEO l E and maybe a d cold like right

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: cold of and so I've been in LA doing some things,

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: and so I love this studio. It's been great. So

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate being here and everyone making it happen. Shout

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: out to my producer, quis always willing to do some

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: wonderful things, a guy who's helping us here too, Thank

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: you friend. Today's podcast is hot topics. It's just hot topics.

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: I had a couple of things coming off the weekend,

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: the top of the year. Here we are just twelve

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: days into the new year, and there's so much already

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: to discuss. It doesn't take much time, though, to have

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: these kinds of conversations. So I'm going to tell you what, Hey,

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: this is what we're doing. We're doing a bit of

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: a tease. I have something to say about Meg Thee

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: Stallion and Klay Thompson. While yes we know they've been

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: together for a while, something about that relationship, the reason

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: why we like it and the reason why women mainly

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: are really attracted to it and why men are being haters.

43
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: I'll get into that. I really have a good theory

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: on that. I also want to talk about Lynn Jones,

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: the reporter, the local reporter out of Jacksonville who works

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: for the Free Press, who decided to give a compliment

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: to a coach, a head coach, as he addressed the

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: media during the playoff after the playoff game. And it

49
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: was interesting because it's getting a lot of reaction and

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why, but people criticize this particular woman,

51
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: this reporter, veteran reporter, for what she said. Well, hear

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: what she said. And then I want to talk about

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: the Golden Globes. I think, honestly, I they don't really

54
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: watch award shows the way that I used to. I

55
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: enjoy them to see what people are wearing, right, that's

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: just the vain thing on my part.

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: I love to see what people are wearing. What are

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: you wearing? I'm interested.

59
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: But I also paid really close attention to the way

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: in which these celebrities are using their platform, and I

61
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: want to take a moment to tell them congratulations to

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: those who are being very bold and honest about what

63
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: they believe in and what they will participate in and

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: what they won't participate based on what's happening in our

65
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: world today. And I also think that it's really easy

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: to be like, my business is this, I'm focused just

67
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: on that and not delve into other worlds. It takes

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: a really brave, sometimes creative soul to take interest in

69
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: something that really could not affect them. And what I'm

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: saying is Hollywood delete. They don't have to be a

71
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: part of this. Traditionally creators, creatives are very motivated, politically active,

72
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: are activists in some form or fashion, and I want

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: to get into that. But before we do all of that,

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Da da da da, I just want to say thank

75
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: you again.

76
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: Podcast is doing really well.

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Surprisingly, there's so many podcasts and you think, okay, my

78
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: podcast is in viral every day every other day, but

79
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: it really is doing well. So I want to thank

80
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: you people who supported us when we were naked and

81
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: now that we are naked sports. But without further ado,

82
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: here we go, roll this sound bite and let the

83
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: hot topics begin.

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 5: How you doing today, Lynn Jones, Jacksonville Free Press News.

85
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: I just want to tell you congratulations on your success,

86
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 5: young man. You hold your head up all right, You

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 5: guys have had a most magnificent season. He did a

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 5: great job out there today, So you just hold your

89
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 5: head up, okay.

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: So Lynn Jones of The Free Press took about twenty

91
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: seven seconds to give Liam Cohen that compliment. Twenty seven seconds,

92
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: and for whatever reasons, it really rubbed people the wrong

93
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: way for her to tell the Jaguars head coach he

94
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: had a great year in her calling him a young man.

95
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Maybe it was the sound of her voice, maybe it

96
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: was something in me that felt like, oh that was nice.

97
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: That was my first reaction. And I'm pretty sure coaches

98
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: don't often hear that how good they're doing, and they

99
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: should be proud of themselves, and especially a journalist calling

100
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: a head coach a young man like you, go ahead,

101
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: young man, you did good. The way I received it was,

102
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: I believe the way in which it was intended, which was, listen,

103
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: everything isn't great, life isn't great. You probably could have

104
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: done better. I know you're feeling a way every time

105
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: you come in this press room. But congratulations. That's all

106
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: I want to say, is just congratulations, hold your head up.

107
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: You didn't do bad. I'm taking it. She's taking it

108
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: from my guess her perspective. That's the only thing I

109
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: can think of. But the point of the matter is,

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: here's the issue. It took twenty seven seconds and people

111
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: are in arms, and I honestly do not know why.

112
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: And I'm even sad about saying this.

113
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: My really good friend, who I'm getting ready to start

114
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: a podcast with, Jamel Hill, criticized this woman online and

115
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: people came for her. They did not like what Jamel

116
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: had to say, and she even addressed it on her

117
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: podcast today because she realized that she caused a bit

118
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: of an uproar.

119
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: Take a listen.

120
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: I can tell you how I was raised as a

121
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 2: journalist in this business. Number one rule that you hear

122
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: when you first start going to press conferences and first

123
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: start covering teams is you are not a fan. You

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: are not someone who is an extension of the team.

125
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: Your job is not to be a fan. Your job

126
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: is not to cheerlead, Your job is not to break.

127
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: Your job is not to console. Your job is to observe,

128
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: put into context, tell people why things happen, get information.

129
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: That is what your job is.

130
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: We have been told this literally from the time that

131
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: we start. I know people don't do that anymore because

132
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: everybody has a tape recorder or they have a phone,

133
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: so they pick up one of these. We have been

134
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: schooled that into our brains.

135
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: We are not fans saying.

136
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: The argument was from others that as a journalist, you

137
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: should be neutral, you should be fair, you shouldn't take sides,

138
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: you should be impartial. The argument is that you took

139
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: out time for the one question or two questions you

140
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: may have had just to compliment this coach. Why is

141
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: that there was something about what she did that really

142
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: rubbed certain journalists a wrong way, a lot of journalists

143
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: for that matter. And I understand as a journalist you're

144
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: supposed to have certain relationships. I'm all good with that,

145
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: but I gotta be honest with you. I do not

146
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: believe there is a single journalist around that does not

147
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: have a relationship with someone they report on. And what

148
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean by a relationship, it could be I might

149
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: have to talk about you one day, and if I

150
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: do talk about you in terms of what you've done,

151
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: or analyze your opinion, or even if I'm just reporting

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: the facts, it could be good or it could be bad.

153
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: But no matter what it is, I still have to

154
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: do my job. I can't take it easy on you.

155
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: That is usually the train of thought, I can't take

156
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: it easy on you, And perhaps people thought that this woman,

157
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: Lynn Jones was taking it easy on this head coach,

158
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: on the Jags head coach. And I can understand why

159
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: the Jacks have not been great. They haven't had incs.

160
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a while since they've been great.

161
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: They are lukewarm at best, and there was a lot

162
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: of disappointments. Obviously, people were upset with their quarterback. But

163
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: she wasn't talking to the quarterback. She was talking to

164
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: the coach, and maybe she was thinking speaking from a

165
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: coaching perspective, but I just don't understand why that upset

166
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: so many people. And heaven forbid, she takes twenty seven seconds.

167
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't care what you think about what she said.

168
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: It was twenty seven seconds. And the fact that this

169
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: is a trending topic leads me into something that I

170
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: don't I just don't feel like the media. I don't

171
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: think we're honest, you know, And I'm not necessarily speaking

172
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: for myself. I just feel like, and I'm not talking

173
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: about the media as a whole, So everyone understand what

174
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: I am trying to say, I just don't believe that

175
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: people are honest about how they approach certain stories. I

176
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: know media members who go on dates with some of

177
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: the people they cover. I know media members who call

178
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: themselves journalists who have extra relationships with some of the

179
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: people they cover. I'll tell a story. I was dating

180
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: someone who was in the media and he ended up

181
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: getting fired from a job. I was dating someone while

182
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: I was in the media, and he ended up getting

183
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: fired from a job. And I remember thinking I wanted

184
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: to be fair. I reported it to my bosses and

185
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: I said, hey, I'm seeing someone he lost his job.

186
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: I really don't want to cover this story because I

187
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: can't be impartial. That's the way you should handle it,

188
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: to me. But I don't sit on a high horse

189
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: and think I can't give compliments, I can't say something nice.

190
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's to me not considered objective,

191
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: like saying, hold your hand up, how you did a

192
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: good job. That's definitely your opinion. That's definitely subjective. Does

193
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: it affect the way she covers the story. I don't know.

194
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I really don't know. I gotta be honest with you.

195
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't to me, it wasn't enough for everyone to

196
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: be up in arms. And today Lynn is you know,

197
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: she got her comments. She's saying what she gotta say.

198
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: She tired of y'all coming at her. She's like, I

199
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: said what I said, y'all making a big deal out

200
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: of nothing.

201
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 4: Take a listen.

202
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 5: I really I don't take no fence to it.

203
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: Listen.

204
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 5: I've been in this business more than twenty five years.

205
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 5: I've been in view from Barack Obama, Terry Bradshaw Toll.

206
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 5: What's my guy named Tiger Wood? So he can say

207
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 5: whatever you've worn about fake news. I am a member

208
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 5: of the Black Press n NPA, the National Newspaper Association

209
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 5: that's been around more than one hundred years. He can

210
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 5: call me fake all you want to, Honey, I've been

211
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 5: doing this for She.

212
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: Said what she said that I'm missing it. I really

213
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: truly am missing it. This is when you need somebody

214
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: to debate with. I'm missing what was so controversial about

215
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: the twenty seven seconds That was a compliment. And maybe

216
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm getting a little soft in my

217
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: old age, but I just I don't feel like there

218
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: was a conflict of interest. I don't feel And some

219
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, well, she took time away from

220
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: another important question. He only had so much time her

221
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven seconds. I promise you did not tank that

222
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: press conference. So let's just talk about specifically right now.

223
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: In a press conference, it's playoffs. Everyone is trying to

224
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: make it to the super Bowl. That is the goal.

225
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: It's a crazy wildcard weekend, lots to talk about. Did

226
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: she cross the line when she said that this guy

227
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: had a good season and he shouldn't have any reason

228
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: not hold his head up. No, I don't think so.

229
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: So here it is eight wins, eight losses all time.

230
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: Right now, here's as we come up. This season twenty

231
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: twenty five, thirteen and four, finishing first in the AFC South,

232
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: clinching Division title, lost the wild card round to Buffalo

233
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: Bills twenty seven to twenty four. Hold your head up.

234
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: You have nothing to be ashamed of. You did nothing wrong.

235
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 4: I don't know. Is she going the greatest coach in

236
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: the world.

237
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: I have no idea why this is such an issue,

238
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: And to me, it's just more indicative of the energy

239
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: in the world today, especially in those press conferences, how

240
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: the media feels about certain things. Because there's nothing new

241
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: about this. Shout out to Lynn for standing here ground.

242
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that everyone is upset with you, but

243
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: I want to move on from that hot topic to

244
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: another hot topic that might be really interesting to a

245
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: lot of folks, the Golden Globes. People who listen to

246
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: the show may or may not watch the Golden Globes.

247
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, not a huge fan of the

248
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: Golden Globes or award show. I tap in and tap

249
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: out to hear certain speeches I'm always used to and

250
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: so are you. During the Golden Globe they always give

251
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: a speech, a speech that is usually about thinking whomever, mom, parent, agent,

252
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: family member's husband, wife, kid's agent, who knows whatever. If

253
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm repeating myself, but I without fail always love when

254
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: these celebrities decide to take the time to talk about

255
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: what they believe in, to be advocates, to really lean

256
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: into the space that we don't know much about them

257
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: because they always are playing or portraying a character. And

258
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: what I saw a lot of last night, And I

259
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: don't know how you feel about this, nor do I

260
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: think it's awful, but what I saw a lot of

261
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: last night was indicative of the times that we are

262
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: living in. Last week, many people were outraged by the

263
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: shooting of Renee Good, a young woman who was shot

264
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: by an ICE agent. Talked on camera, as everything is

265
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: done today. It was January, to be exact, and it

266
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: was Renee Nicole Good in South Minneapolis, and it was

267
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: a protest, and ICE was conducting an operation as they do.

268
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: And then we see this footage from a phone and

269
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: other bystanders as well, right from bystanders phone, from an

270
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: agent's and ICE agent's phone that led up into the shooting.

271
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: And so now we know, at least to me, it

272
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: looked like she did not have to die.

273
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: Just my thoughts, she didn't have to die.

274
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: Maybe she could have been shot, Maybe they could have

275
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: shot at her tire because she was trying to drive away.

276
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: I always think there are other ways in which it

277
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: could happen. I don't know. I'm not a law enforcement officer.

278
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: I always think there are other ways in which it

279
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: could happen. But since it has happened, there's been protests.

280
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: There's been rallies everywhere. I saw some in New York,

281
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: obviously in Minnesota, in minne Plus where it happened. The

282
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Secretary christyme announced that hundreds of more

283
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: federal agents would be sent to Minneapolis to basically contain

284
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: the demonstrators, and everyone from Trump's administration has said that

285
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: the ICE agent was justified in the shooting and that

286
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: he didn't do anything wrong. In fact, this woman makes

287
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: you rest in peace was preventing this agent from doing

288
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: his job, and so it seems completely legal. Trump said that.

289
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: Christy Nome said that We've had commentators people come out

290
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: and say it depending on what side of the aisle

291
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: you are on, depending on your beliefs, depending on how

292
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: you see it morally, you were either for or against.

293
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: But again, this current administration said it was justified. And

294
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: since it's happened, there's been a lot of fallout, for

295
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, we have heard from people

296
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: saying that they are going to now boycott FIFA because

297
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: they are in fear of their lives when the World

298
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: Cup comes to the United States of America. They don't

299
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: want to go to the World Cup because if you

300
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: are quote unquote someone of color or someone who could

301
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: be described as a potential immigrant that needs to be deported. Remember,

302
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: earlier this year or last year, the Supreme Court passed

303
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: a law that says guess what if you look like

304
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: the profile, these ICE officers have the right to pull

305
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: you over, detain you, question you, and talk to you.

306
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: So hear you hear things like that, and you think,

307
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: because they seem to be and I'm talking about ICE,

308
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: they seem to be operating without impunity, meaning they can

309
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: do whatever they want. It seems that way. I know

310
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: that's not the law, but it does seem that way.

311
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: I can pull you over, I can take you out

312
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: of your car broad daylight. I can detain you, and

313
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: I can hold you for as long as I see

314
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: fit if you fit a certain profile slash description, and

315
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't have to necessarily get you an attorney. I

316
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: don't have to provide you with some of the basic

317
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: legal tenets of what this constitution says you're entitled to.

318
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: And that's scary. That's scary for anybody.

319
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: So we have heard that ICE will be at certain

320
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: big events and I was just talking about one FIFA

321
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: when the World Cup comes here to the United States.

322
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: We have been told that the ICE agents will be

323
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: there for several reasons. One, we know that that attracts

324
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: an international audience, and in their mind, this would be

325
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: a ripe opportunity to find people who don't belong here

326
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: in the United States or who have been here illegally.

327
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: We've also heard that about the Super Bowl, especially with

328
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: the announcement that Bad Bunny is going to be the

329
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: halftime show. I says they'll be there. Bad Bunny more

330
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: specifically has even said, I know you've heard this. The

331
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: reason why he didn't do his content that he had

332
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: this past year here in North America was because he

333
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: was concerned about his fan base and would they be

334
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: arrested and or considered illegal and or in trouble if

335
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: they attended one of his concerts, So he kept it

336
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico, he kept it at home. So with

337
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: that being said, after this latest incident with Ice, because

338
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: we've seen them, there have been so many incidents. I'm

339
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: not just making that up. We've seen women, men, children

340
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: being attacked on camera, physically manhandled if you are a woman,

341
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: shoved around, pushed, abused was what it looked like looks

342
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: like to me anyway, And it also looks like there

343
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: is a level of anger and animosity that these agents

344
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: already have before they even start dealing with these people.

345
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: Rightfully, so they're dressed.

346
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: In this camouflage gear, sometimes mask around their face so

347
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: you can't see them, and they have descended on certain

348
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: cities and read havoc. That's what it looks like to me.

349
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: Perhaps yes, doing their job, but definitely wreaking havoc because

350
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: the approaches act first, ask questions later, and when we

351
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: do get the details, when we do get these eyewitness

352
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: accounts and or details of people who have been detained,

353
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: it sounds scary. It sounds scary what they've been through.

354
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: We've seen some of these holding facilities. Scary. I'm not saying,

355
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest with you, I'm not saying that

356
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: that the situation with the legal immigrants in this country

357
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: hasn't been out of control.

358
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 4: Yes it has. Yes.

359
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: Does it need to be cleaned up, yes, does it

360
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: need to be contained, yes, But the way that it

361
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: was positioned, and this is what I hear for people

362
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: who voted for Trump and who are four ice, is

363
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: that it was positioned as this was the time to

364
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: get these criminals. Remember Donald Trump, bran on this, get

365
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: these criminals out of here. We got to get these

366
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: criminals out of here. And now we're realizing it may

367
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: be your neighbor's housekeeper. It may be your neighbor's nanny.

368
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: It may be someone who's been working with you for

369
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: twenty years doing odd, odd jobs around your house, someone

370
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: who works for a Maybe you have a job working

371
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: for a local service and you've been there for twenty

372
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: years and your customers have gotten to know you, but

373
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: they didn't know that you didn't have the right immigration status.

374
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Not to say that that is correct and that there

375
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: are certain people you should pick and choose, but by

376
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: and large, I do believe most people thought they were

377
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: going to be taking criminals off the streets.

378
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 4: I really do.

379
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: As opposed to seeing videos of ICE agents murdering women,

380
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: as opposed to seeing video of ICE agents taking in

381
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: little kids and separating them from their parents, as opposed

382
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: to seeing ICE agents battling people on the show streets

383
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: of Chicago, it's otherworldly disturbing for people who grew up

384
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: here in the United States of America.

385
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 4: It just is.

386
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: Visually, you cannot watch that or not be shocked, or

387
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: scroll past it on your phone and I'd be like,

388
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: what is this? So I give you all that background

389
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: to say at the Golden Globes, which is an opportunity

390
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: for a lot of artists to say how they feel

391
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: about what's going on in America. They're artists, they're creatives,

392
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 1: they feel, they empathize. I'm talking about myself too. I

393
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: consider myself an artist and I'm sensitive about my shit.

394
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: Shout out to Erica, but I do so at the

395
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:42,240

396
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,840

Speaker 4: I know him well.

398
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: He's on Entertainment Tonight, hosts the show for years, and

399
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: he's been in the business, like I said, for decades.

400
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: He sees Mark Ruffalo walking down the I don't know

401
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: if you watch any television shows. He's been around forever.

402
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what of an actor he is. Maybe

403
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: he's A, maybe he's B plus. I don't know what

404
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: level of actor he is. But he's had many things

405
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: that you've watched. Most recently he had a show on

406
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: HBO Max I forget the name of it, but very popular.

407

00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: to make the pivot.

416
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 6: Join now by Mark Ruffalo, who is a nominee tonight

417
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 6: and his wife Sonny, And I want to ask you

418
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 6: right off the bat, how much fun is it in

419
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 6: that room? Sitting there? You have a couple of contailers,

420
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 6: you hang out with everybody, and there's all kinds of

421
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 6: conversations going on.

422
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 7: It's usually a lot of fun. But I can't really,

423
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 7: I gotta be honest if yeah, I'm not feeling so great.

424
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 7: We have a woman, Renee Good, was murdered in our

425
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 7: streets of America today, and we got literally stormtroopers running

426
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 7: around terrorizing. And as much as I love all this,

427
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 7: I can't. I don't know if I can pretend like

428
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 7: this crazy stuff isn't happening. We have a president who

429
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 7: says the laws of the of the of the world

430
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 7: don't apply to him, and we could rely on his morality,

431
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 7: but he has no morality.

432
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 6: So where does that leave us?

433
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 7: Where does that leave the world? So I love these people,

434
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 7: I love being here. I love you, I but also can't.

435
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 7: It's so hard to pretend anymore. This is crazy. What's happening?

436
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 6: I have to ask you because I have family from

437
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 6: the Twin Cities, so I understand how how hard that is.

438
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 6: Right now. Well, lots of people are hurting right now.

439
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 6: And that's the problem is that the people are hurting.

440
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: To me.

441
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 4: That's bold.

442
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: Mark joins a long list, growing list of actors who

443
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: have been speaking out about the conditions here in the

444
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: United States, what they like and what they don't like

445
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: about this current administration. But Mark, sitting from his actor's castle,

446
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: has decided to take up a cause that many people

447
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: are afraid to even talk about because they just don't

448
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: have the leverage, luxury, and or ability to do so

449
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: because they don't want to lose their jobs. And his

450
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: whole point is, we got to say something. It's crazy.

451
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: If we all continue to act as if this isn't happening,

452
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: we will find ourselves on the other end of something

453
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: that we can't reverse. And I am really surprised, I

454
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: just say him. I'm surprised when people are selfless. I'm

455
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: surprised when people who to me on the outside looking

456
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: in if I look at someone like this actor who

457
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: I know lives maybe lives comfortably, has money, has is

458
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: a director, he's in front of the camera, he's behind

459
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: the scenes, he has leverage in Hollywood for him to

460
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: be so bold and speak out. I wonder if he

461
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: is worried, which he clearly isn't, if he's worried about

462
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: losing his job, if he's worried about losing acting gigs

463
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: in the future, and if he is, he doesn't care

464
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: like right now. The cause that he is so concerned about,

465
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: the soapbox that he is standing on has to be

466
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: sturdy enough so that he can withstand whatever comes or

467
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: whatever repercussions follow for him speaking out. And I am impressed.

468
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: I'm impressed. I watch the way, even in my space,

469
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: the way journalists hold back because they don't want to

470
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: be in that firing line of this administration. They don't

471
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: want to lose their job. They don't want their bosses

472
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: to pull them in the office because corporate America, especially

473
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: in media, is afraid. And then recently there was a

474
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: list that went around Hollywood where actors such as like

475
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: Javier bardin' Bardim. A lot of actors have signed and said,

476
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: I won't work with certain people because I don't believe

477
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: in this cause. I refuse to do these jobs because

478
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't like what's happening currently with this administration. They're

479
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: picking and choosing. They're saying, I'm not going to be

480
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: a part of it, because if I'm a part of it,

481
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: I support you. To me, that is bold, bold, And

482
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: most recently with Renee Good, when this woman was murdered,

483
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: these these buttons were going around. These buttons were going

484
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: around Hollywood and specifically at the at the Golden Globes Awards.

485
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: At the Golden Globe Awards, and they say be good,

486
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: Ice out. There's one that says be good as in

487
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Renee Good, and then ice out, as in no more ice.

488
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: And I saw a ton of them. Wanda Sykes, Tessa Thompson,

489
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: everyone had them strategically placed, because obviously you want everyone

490
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: to look at your dress or your suit, but they

491
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: were strategically strategically placed. Mark had his on his lapel,

492
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: Wanda Sykes had hers on her lapel, Tessa Thompson had

493
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: hers attached to her purse. And I thought to myself,

494
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: of look how active, look how aware these actors are,

495
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to say, good for you in

496
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: a world where people think you are fake and false

497
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: and all you do is play other characters and you

498
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: have very little depth, often have been called vapid. These

499
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: folks are like, no, no, no, I'm putting.

500
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: This on a line.

501
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm standing up and speaking out, and in today's times,

502
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: that is bold to do it just is.

503
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 4: It's scary.

504
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: Today's times are let me think twice before I say this,

505
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: let me weigh the pros and cons before I say this.

506
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: Today's times are let me just put my head down

507
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: and try to avoid this until it's over. Most people

508
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: take that approach, and there's nothing wrong with that. Some

509
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: days I do too. Some days I don't have the

510
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: energy for the ire. Some days I don't have the

511
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: energy for you to be mad at me and tell

512
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: me I shouldn't say that. Some days I don't have

513
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: the energy to battle Scott Jennings on CNN. Most days,

514
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: some days I just don't have the energy to talk

515
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: to people who are lying to me and pretending like

516
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: what is happening isn't happening. I just don't have the energy.

517
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: And that's okay. It's okay if you don't want to

518
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: speak out. But for folks in Hollywood who people often

519
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: dismiss as shallow and not honest and fake and phony,

520
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: when they decide to stand up, they do so. Mark,

521
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: thank you for your courage and leading. And it's not

522
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: lost on me that you are a white man leading

523
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: white presenting that to me, for whatever reasons, is what

524
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: we need more of. You can list the reasons. No

525
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: one's going to be surprised to hear me a black

526
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: woman saying I'm upset about something that's happening with our

527
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: country and I feel marginalized and or affected. That's not

528
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: a surprise, right, But to hear someone who who probably

529
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: seems to have it better than most and advantage in society,

530
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: at least historically speaking, he's having his time and his moment,

531
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: and he's using his platform to say I don't like it.

532
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: And I've watched the turn from COVID when we had

533
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: that racial renaissance to now. I remember seeing people being

534
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: at the forefront saying they want change. They were upset

535
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: to retreating and being quiet because they just don't feel

536
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: like it's worth it. Jennifer Lawrence, I don't know if

537
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: you watch her Hunger Games fame, right, that changed her life.

538
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence used to be very active tweeting, talking, interviewing,

539
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: saying it, and most recently they had a sit down

540
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: interview with her in The New York Times and she

541
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: just said, I don't think it's worth it. I don't

542
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 1: think people want to hear from me. So I've decided

543
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't make a difference. And in her mind, her words,

544
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't make a difference when a celebrity speaks out.

545
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: So she decided I'm not going to to deal with

546
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: the grief. And that's fine too, Jennifer, nothing's wrong with that.

547
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm just taking a moment out to say. The celebrities

548
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: at the Golden Globes were very very clear of what

549
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: they don't like, which is traditionally how Hollywood rolls. But

550
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: it's refreshing because in the media they're being quiet. A

551
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: lot of people who are journalists and or anchors are

552
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: being told by their bosses to walk the line, report

553
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: the facts, save the commentary, don't forget to present the

554
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: other side, which is true. But the problem is when

555
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: you present that other side and you don't call a

556
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: lie a lie, then what's the point, right, what's the point?

557
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: So Dosa Hollywood Dose of Activism. I was pleasantly surprised.

558
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: Next step on our our topics and I mentioned this

559
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: was my last, but not least, this is really a

560
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: good one for me. I love I love Magna Stallion. Controversial, right,

561
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: very controversial to say I love Meg the Stallion. And

562
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: what do you mean Why is it controversial? Because there's

563
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: a group of people who would say Meg the Stallion

564
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: as we move into culture times sports, Meg the Stallion

565
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: is her lyrics are risque. A conservative person would say,

566
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't like when a woman speaks that way she's doing.

567
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: She's twenty twenty six version of Little Kim. She is

568
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: very well aware of her body and what it looks like,

569
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: and she's always talking about it and talking about what

570
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: it's good about it, and it's good. I just love it.

571
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: I love the confidence. I love her beauty, and I

572
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: do love that whether she intends to do this or not,

573
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: I see her vulnerability. I see her insecurity, while I

574
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: also see the fact that she knows she's a bad girl,

575
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: she's a bad bish. Like while I know she knows

576
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: she looks good and got a nice body and got

577
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: money and is successful, I also see her insecurity and

578
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: her vulnerability, and when someone could let the two coexist,

579
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: when a woman who is of note can let the

580
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: two coexist, there is something very attractive about it, like

581
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: we're already there for the entertainment of Megan, right. I

582
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: think that when she went through that whole scuttle butt

583
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: with helped me out. Drack queis Trey what's his name?

584
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: It's not Trey Songs. I hate to do that. Trey

585
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: Lane Layton, what is it Lane, Tory all the same? Yeah,

586
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: that guy, thank you, dra Quey's and you can leave

587
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: this in here. I had her look it up because

588
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: I forgot Tory Lanes, Trey Torri, you know what I'm saying.

589
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm just real unty about it. But anyway, when it

590
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: was the shooting case and if she got shot or not,

591
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: I remember a lot of people in the industry outside

592
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: of the industry didn't believe her. They just didn't believe her.

593
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: They said she was lying. She didn't get shot the

594
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: way in which she told the story. No one believed

595
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: she went to court, and I think that that was

596
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: whether I look, I don't know the particulars I was

597
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: not in the car. I listened to some of the testimony.

598
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: I read some of the testimony when it was all

599
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: said and done. There were things that obviously went on

600
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: that everybody isn't talking about because everyone was trying to

601
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: save themselves. But here she is at a breakout point

602
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: in her career and she gets into this situation with

603
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: Tory Lanez and she says, no, he shot me, he

604
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: shot my foot, he shot at me, he shot me,

605
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: and I'm pressing charges. And if I'm not pressing charges

606
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: because I ultimately believe that she had to testify because

607
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: the state was pressing chargers no matter what.

608
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 4: And it was.

609
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: Really hard for her because there were so many people

610
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: in the industry saying that she lied and she's not

611
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: right in this, that and the third and I really

612
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 1: saw a bit of her retreat. That confidence was knocked

613
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: down a bit. She really saw the world differently. She

614
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: was being bullied and harassed online by a lot of

615
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: men who were just saying, look at you. You always try

616
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: to take a brother, Dawn, except you know the story,

617
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: you know, you know what they say.

618
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 4: And then she comes out.

619
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: And she continues to make music, continues to live her life,

620
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: but then out of nowhere, which to me, and it

621
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: may not have been out of nowhere. In fact, I

622
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: knew it wasn't out of anywhere. She is dating Clay Thompson,

623
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: and my sources tell me that she initiated contact with Clay.

624
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: She lives, she lives in Dallas or as a house

625
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: in Dallas. He plays for the Dallas Mavericks, and that

626
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: she had been interested in him for a while. Right, So,

627
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: if any of you know anything about Clay Thompson, his

628
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: father is Michael Thompson, used to play for the Lakers.

629
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: He's a local analyst here in Los Angeles. He comes

630
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: from Clay that is, comes from what seems to be

631
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: a very conservative family. It appears to be a conservative family.

632
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: When he was.

633
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: Playing with Golden State Warriors, he was known as the

634
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: guy who only dated models, Right, He was a modelizer,

635
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: whether they were supermodels or wanting to be models, maybe

636
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: Instagram models, maybe a combination of the two. And the

637
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: rap on Clay is that he is also a bit conservative.

638
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: Can shoot the hell out of that thing, but he's conservative.

639
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: So to see this conservative print presenting basketball player dating

640
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: Meg the Stallion to me is like, hmm, that's interesting.

641
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 4: Hmmm. I wouldn't have saw that coming.

642
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: She seems got a little like for me anyway, I

643
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: was like, oh, she got too much dip on her

644
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: chip to be with Oh boy, like she too fly?

645
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: She too she got too much swag. He might be

646
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 1: too corny. I don't know, you know all the things

647
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: you say without knowing anything about the relationship.

648
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 4: How is she with him?

649
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what well, like, what's the deal? But

650
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: when I watch them together, and I'm no expert, but

651
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: it seems authentic and real. But what it allows her

652
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: to be is soft.

653
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 3: That's what y'all. She girla make this thing akt I

663
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,080

00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,959
Speaker 3: the flavor. This is me getting my rule, my jewel,

665
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,239

00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: she's ready. I'm really nervous because I was like, dang,

667
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm really gonna cook broil my man and his whole family.

668
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 3: I hope they love it because I got to show

669
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 3: them that I really love their son.

670
00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: It allows her to feel it appears safe, and she

671
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: also appears to be a lover girl. She just want

672
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: to love on somebody. She wants someone to love her,

673
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: and she wants to love them back. She as you

674
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: will know, when she started to really blow up lost

675
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: her mother and her grandmother. I couldn't imagine, or I

676
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: could rather, if I'm being honest with you, I can

677
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: only imagine how lonely she feels if the family that

678
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: she's known her whole life is no longer there, that

679
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: core of her family. And what I mean by that,

680
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: a mother and a grandmother really have very important roles

681
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: in your life, male or female. These are defined roles

682
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: that will ultimately live with you for the rest of

683
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: your life. How they love you, how they treat you,

684
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: how they present you. And she, to me, if I'm honest,

685
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: had a bit of sadness on her, especially with that

686
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: whole Tory Lanez thing. She just had a bit of

687
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: sadness on her and she had a reputation that was

688
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: not good. And so now here she is dating this guy.

689
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: And in the beginning you hear, oh, he just was

690
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: looking for a little bit of fame. Nobody was checking

691
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: for him. He plays for the Dallas Mavericks. His career

692
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: is at the end of He's at the end of

693
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: his career. He's not with the Golden State Warriors winning championships.

694
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: He's not with the dynasty anymore. He's playing average. He's

695
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: just looking for some attention outside of the gym, if

696
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: you will. So that's why he's hollering at her, because

697
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: she's just too much for him. And on the other end,

698
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: you hear people saying about her. I can't make her

699
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: my wife. She couldn't be my main she wouldn't be

700
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: my girl because of X, Y and Z. How she talks,

701
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: how she dresses, how she presents, what she'd be talking about,

702
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: what she rap about. She's just too much. That's the

703
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: greatest compliment, ladies, by the way, if you ever been

704
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: told her too much. So as we watch this relationship,

705
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: because she is allowing us to see bits and pieces

706
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: that I don't think that we are really used to seeing.

707
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: Like she's very raw and honest about who they are,

708
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: what the relationship is, how she might be getting on

709
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: his nerves on a Tuesday, what she's cooking for him. Although, Mick,

710
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you cooked that entire thingsgiving meal. I

711
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: hate to just be that girl like that because I

712
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 1: don't believe you. I don't believe it. You might have helped,

713
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: but you didn't cook that entire meal. I just don't

714
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: believe it. If you're listening, forgive me, I just don't

715
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: believe it. But she loves this man so much so,

716
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: and she says it every five seconds. She was like,

717
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: I gotta cook a meal because I got to show

718
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: you this his parents, how much I love this man.

719
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, she loved that man. And I think it's

720
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: beautiful to see. I think it's beautiful when we can

721
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: watch in real time, because this is what I think

722
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: we're witnessing. And I don't know if it's gonna last forever,

723
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna tell you I'm rite in love with

724
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: him while they and they in love fase. One of

725
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: my sources who knows Clay well, thought that the relationship

726
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: was disappointing because of what Meg represented and what she

727
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: thought Clay represented. And if I'm honest with you, I

728
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: could say that I could see it being disappointing if

729
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: you know them.

730
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 4: I don't know them.

731
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know her, but they do something for one

732
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: another that's really special and I like it. I like

733
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: that more people are tuning into the NBA because we

734
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: have celebrities on the sidelines that have more of a

735
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: vested interest. Since the beginning of time, singers and rappers

736
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: have been dating athletes. They all come together.

737
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 4: It works.

738
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: I can go down a list of relationships that we've

739
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: seen make it and not make it. The oldest one

740
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: that I can think of is Tama and Grant Hill,

741
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: Like they're still together.

742
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 4: That was the thing.

743
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: People were excited to see that relationship. Dwayne Wade and

744
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: Gabby Gabrielle union, that's a relationship. And then there's bits

745
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: and pieces we got, you know, Brandon Ingram and Gloilla

746
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: now lay together.

747
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 4: That's cute.

748
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: I wanted to work. I don't know much about them.

749
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: They're not taking everything to social media. But the list

750
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: goes on and on. It happens all the time. But

751
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: this relationship in particular, the reason why we were paying

752
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: so much attention because Meggie is a superstar, Two because

753
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: Clay is an unlikely subject. Three because she was very

754
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: much interested in him, and she said she put the

755
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: interest out there, and she said, he's unlike any man

756
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: she's ever been with before. He's sweet, he's kind, he

757
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: just handles her with care, and at the end of

758
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: the day, that's all she was looking for. And the

759
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: more and more I watch her with him, the more

760
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: soft she becomes, the more attractive to me she becomes.

761
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: The more we can see what love can do if

762
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: it works right. And at the end of the day,

763
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm all for the love. If it's healing her and

764
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: making her feel better and centering her and giving her

765
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: confidence in areas where she was insecure, have at it.

766
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: If Clay is feeling a little more swaggy and he's

767
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: feeling like, oh, okay, I'm not you know what I'm saying, Okay, Clay,

768
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: you got it, because no one was checking for Clay

769
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: thinking that he was swaggy. I don't care how famous

770
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: he is, I don't care how much money he has,

771
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't care how long he's been in the NBA.

772
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: I have never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever in my

773
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: life heard a girl say, you know who I want

774
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: to holler at Clay Thompson. Not that he's not attractive,

775
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: but he just wasn't on the list. Steph okay, Steph Curry.

776
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: That is Draymond Green. Yeah he's married, but you can

777
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: you see something about that Thuggage work and ye okay,

778
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: I like it.

779
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 4: Of course.

780
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: You know, I can go down a list of athletes

781
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: that people like and he's on their top tier dating list.

782
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: Clay was not.

783
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: He just wasn't great guy, lovely guy. Not I've interviewed

784
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: him a million times, just not somebody you're like, ooh,

785
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: I can't wait to meet him later and just be like.

786
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 4: Hey baby, hey, say baby, hey hey, you just not

787
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 4: like that.

788
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: So I like this relationship and and I hope that

789
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: the love is mutual, and if it's not, so be it.

790
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: But right now it looks good on Megan, and I'm

791
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: happy for her. I'm happy for this. This young lady

792
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: who I thought from Afar was very confident, but was

793
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 1: very very much in a state of repair, not trusting, angry.

794
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: You can read that when people are not trusting and

795
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: angry and mad all the time, and she feels like

796
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: a joy. She feels like a joy. So I wish

797
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: out the best of luck. Y'all lead him alone. Now,

798
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: speaking of joy and love, this is what I don't

799
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: want to see with Meg. And I gotta be honest

800
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: with y'all because if I see this, I don't know

801
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do with myself. Have y'all heard of

802
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: that latest trend? Yeah, that one. I'm talking about. That

803
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 1: one I'm not proposing to a man. Look I listen, listen, listen, listen, Linda,

804
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: you ladies.

805
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 4: Are out here.

806
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: Imagine me getting home from a long day of work,

807
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: right doing all the things that I need to do,

808
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: saying all the things that I need to say, taking

809
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: care of my friends and my family, and doing all

810
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: the things that are needed to be done. And then

811
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, My man is taking a

812
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: long time to pop that question. Let me just let

813
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: me nudge him in that direction. Yes, ladies do it

814
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: all the time. Drop hints, send photographs of rings. They'd

815
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: my guy. I say, I was saying to him, Hey,

816
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't really need a big You know,

817
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: this is my hint.

818
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 4: I don't really need a big wedding. I already had that.

819
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: I'll read a big wedding. We can just keep it

820
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: real low invite your family because they're important to you,

821
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: and then we just have a big party. You know,

822
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: we just exchange our viles, so we keep it just

823
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: low key. Everybody ain't got to listen to you because

824
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: he's very you know, uncomfortable sharing his feelings. But yeah,

825
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: let's just keep it real low key. That's that's it.

826
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: I'll bring up the conversation.

827
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 4: That's it.

828
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: You make the move. Ladies are proposing to men left

829
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: and right. I literally said this last year. Let this

830
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: not become I'm a trend. And I don't know if

831
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: it's AI, I don't know, if I don't know, if

832
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: you men are just tired.

833
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 4: I don't get it.

834
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: Women are proposing to men. Meg, and I can totally

835
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: see Meg doing that. Meg, We're not doing that. Let's

836
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: stop this before it becomes a real thing.

837
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 4: Let's stop it. I've said this before. Let's stop it.

838
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: There's no way on God's green earth women should be

839
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: getting down on bended knee and proposing. I look, I'm

840
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: all for. Then you hear some knucklehead in the background saying,

841
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: I thought you wanted women to have equal rights, and

842
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: women deserve equal rights, and everybody got to be equal. Okay, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, okay.

843
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm not paying for the I'm not paying for the dinner. Okay,

844
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm not paying for the dinner. And I'm not proposing.

845
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: There are some things that need to go back to tradition.

846
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: Because women always want to be in love. This is

847
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: my thought process. Women always want to be in love,

848
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: They always want to be in a relationship. Women are

849
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: all about the emotions. Women are consistently in that space.

850
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: But I tell you what, if women start thinking it's

851
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: okay to propose these men who.

852
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 4: Already think they're the prize. What we're gonna do with

853
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 4: a man? When names start being the divas? What what

854
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 4: is we gonna do? That is the end of the

855
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 4: human race as I know it.

856
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: If women start start thinking it's okay to propose to men,

857
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: I said, human race is over. You got me, It's done, Fnido.

858
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: We ain't doing it. We ain't having it. The story

859
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: goes that I am an Olympian and after I finish

860
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: practice or finish winning a meet, I run all the

861
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: way around. I beat everyone I'm holding up my medal

862
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: and I'm all like, yo, let me propose to my man.

863
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Stop it. Stop it, ladies,

864
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: I don't want you to win your w NBA championship.

865
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: And Asia Wilson turned to Bam and said, thank you

866
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: so much for being here for me. Let me go

867
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: ahead and drop down on one d and propose after

868
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: she wins the championship or the MVP Award. No, we're

869
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: just we're not doing that. We're not doing it. Okay,

870
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 1: my man was a super Bowl and I'm so excited

871
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: and we're all celebrating on the field, and the girlfriend

872
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: just Taylor Swift just drops down on one knee and

873
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: proposes to Travis Kelsey. We aren't doing it. In fact,

874
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm starting a small group, putting a group together of goons.

875
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: And each time I see a woman, each time I

876
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: see a woman do that, I'm gonna find out her

877
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: phone number and her location and I'm just gonna push

878
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: her down. I'm gonna keep her down on one dy.

879
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna push her down and tell her get

880
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: her mind right.

881
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 4: What the hell is going on? This is not a thing.

882
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: Some things have to remain the same hardline cut to

883
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: me proposing.

884
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 4: I'll come back here a month from now.

885
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 3: Blad y'all.

886
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 4: This is something came over. I was like, say, baby,

887
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 4: say let's do this.

888
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: You have every right if you ever hear me say

889
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: something like that, you have every right to snatch my way.

890
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: You have every right to push me down some stairs.

891
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: If you ever hear that I proposed, you have every

892
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: right to do that. Knock me back into my right place.

893
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 4: All right.

894
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: With that being said, those are my hot topics that

895
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: I have to get off my chest. I really appreciate

896
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 1: you for being here and weigh in. I honestly really

897
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: appreciate when I hear from you all, at least underneath

898
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: the comments. Underneath I am not proposing to you a man,

899
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: and I want to hear these knuckleheads who think that's okay.

900
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm just not doing it, and y'all not doing it either.

901
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: Y'all not doing it. I talk to my producer about this,

902
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: how she feels about it. Women proposing to man. She

903
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: probably she's so forward thinking. She probably thinks not a

904
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: big deal. I think it's a big deal. I'm not

905
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: doing it. All right, y'all tune in next week when

906
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: we have a special guest on the show. She says, no,

907
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 1: good break down this this fourth wall, if you will,

908
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: she says, no.

909
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 4: Thank goodness.

910
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: Common sense is somewhere underneath this, Matt, somewhere in this

911
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: computer shaking out this common sense? Where are you at?

912
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm get on my nerves. Taught to y'all next week.
