Many of you. 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 3: May ask, why why do we need a black leader, 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 3: or more specifically, why do black people need a leader? 13 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 3: My answer to that is who cares? We Blacks just 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 3: like having leaders, and I want to be the next one. 15 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 3: What are my qualifications? I'm black and I want the job. 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: Nuff said. 17 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: Now, I know that's not going to satisfy the small 18 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 3: minority of people, but who need a little bit more, 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 3: No problem, I can do that. Just keep in mind 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: most black leaders are self appointed, and at any time 21 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: I can play that card and end the whole discussion. 22 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: Okay, here it goes. I'm really good at rhyming. 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 3: This may sound like nothing on the surface, But if 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 3: you dig down deep enough, you'll see that you can 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 3: take any issue and make it seem more important by rhyming, 26 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 3: case in point, taxes. At first glance, it would seem 27 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: like it would be difficult to make taxes an important 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: issue for blacks, let alone make white people feel like 29 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 3: they're being racist, which, when push comes. 30 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: To shoves, should always be the goal. 31 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 3: For instance, if I said we need to ease the 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: tax burden on the poor in the middle class to 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 3: help raise their standard of living, you will probably say no, thanks, 34 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: so called black leader. 35 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: But if I. 36 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 3: Said, first it was guns and axes, now they want 37 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: to kill us with taxes, come along, you will probably say, 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: preach it, black leader, or how about they minimized piece 39 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: and max out hate.

You can 744 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 3: decide to also give some people some grace sometimes, yes, if. 745 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 4: You decide to. And it's one of those things the way. 746 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 4: I look at a lot of people on social media. 747 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 4: A lot of people like underground shit, and this is 748 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 4: how it makes sense to me. A lot of people 749 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,280 Speaker 4: like it underground where they can talk to their friends eyback, 750 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 4: who who is that? So they can feel extra super 751 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 4: special that they know somebody doing some shit that don't 752 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 4: nobody else know. But the second that person crosses mainstream, 753 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 4: they have to turn because now everybody knows. Now it's 754 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 4: not you can't exclude people. 755 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 3: You know. 756 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 4: Now, it's not the cool kids club. You know, it's 757 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 4: one of those things. Once you cross that line, and 758 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 4: once white people start seeing you, and once you start 759 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 4: making money, and once you start blowing up the shit 760 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 4: that you actually want them to do, because you nobody 761 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 4: can stay underground forever. And so once that person's talent 762 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 4: is seen and they start kind of going up the 763 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 4: ranks instead of you cheering and promoting them, which is 764 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 4: what most people do. You have a percentage of people 765 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 4: like you say they feel a certain way. They get jealous, 766 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 4: they get envy, particularly if it's the same thing, the 767 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,919 Speaker 4: same area or same arena that they're in that they've 768 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 4: been doing for years, and this person just comes out 769 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 4: of the blue quote unquote in their mind when the 770 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 4: person literally hadn't come out of the blue. Because most 771 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 4: of the time people's first projects, particularly for black people. 772 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 4: Truth be told, we rarely hear about black people being 773 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 4: and doing these things when they're young. Most people we 774 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 4: hear about, they'll be like, yeah, that person around twenty 775 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 4: five years, that person around thirty five years, that around 776 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 4: fifteen years, the person around ten years.

It just means that's 1050 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 3: not reality. That's like a virtual reality. People go into 1051 00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,399 Speaker 3: unpopular opinions are popular. Cruelty is the is the way 1052 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,359 Speaker 3: to communicated. 1053 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just not how. 1054 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 3: People in real life typically handle themselves. And the kind 1055 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 3: of people that would be like the outlier in real 1056 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 3: life where we will be in a room full of 1057 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 3: people and they say like something that we'd be like, 1058 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,799 Speaker 3: what niggas, what are you talking? Like if I went 1059 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 3: into a room full of black people and they were 1060 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,839 Speaker 3: talking and they were voters, and I said, kamala a cop. 1061 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 3: Most people are looking at me and be like this nigga, 1062 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 3: shut the fuck up. But in Twitter, Kamala as a 1063 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 3: cop guy is everywhere and they can find all the 1064 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 3: other Kamala as a cop guy. And now they grouped 1065 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 3: up and they got their own corner of the room 1066 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,919 Speaker 3: and it feels like they taken over the room when really, 1067 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 3: in real life, we all know. 1068 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 2: That one crazy uncle that thinks she's a cop. You know. 1069 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 3: The next episode is twenty one ninety four Alex Haley's 1070 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 3: glutes and says, I've also noticed the constant reminder that 1071 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,280 Speaker 3: the underdeveloped nations that won't survive apendandemic two yea atual, 1072 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,320 Speaker 3: we talked about how a lot of scientists are like 1073 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 3: how we're baffled to how Africa is not being destroyed 1074 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 3: and ravaged by COVID. After about the unexpected effect of 1075 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 3: COVID in the Southern hemisphere Africa and South America. 1076 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 2: I have a theory. 1077 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,320 Speaker 3: The key is the common blood type of each population. 1078 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 3: Research from Italy and Spain has shown that type A 1079 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 3: blood type has a higher likelihood to get infected and 1080 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,720 Speaker 3: experienced worse symptoms. Type O and AB have lower chances 1081 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 3: of infection. 1082 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 2: And bad symptoms. Here's a summary of the study, there's 1083 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:30,439 Speaker 2: a link. 1084 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 3: So if you look at the distribution of blood types globally, 1085 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,359 Speaker 3: Type A occurs predominantly in the Northern europe areas where 1086 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 3: Northern Europeans migrated to. Type O is most common among 1087 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 3: Indigenous Americans, Asians, and Africans. Type B occurs mostly in Asia, 1088 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 3: so the naturally lower probably so the naturally lower probability 1089 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 3: of infection and severity of symptoms may be dampening the 1090 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 3: effect of Arsenese areas. You can't use North America as 1091 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 3: a god for this theory, as most people have pointed 1092 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 3: out the black and brown people in North America who 1093 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 3: are dying from COVID tend to be poor and don't 1094 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 3: have access to good health care. So the blood type 1095 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 3: advantage that may exist due to ancestris offset by poor healthcare. 1096 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 2: Just theory. 1097 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,520 Speaker 4: Yes, I could see that. 1098 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the hell of a theory. And I haven't 1099 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 3: done that research, but I mean, yeah, maybe that's it. 1100 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 3: I'd I heard a lot of shit. 1101 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, like that could be understanding that, it would make 1102 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,760 Speaker 4: a lot of sense. It's like, yeah, normally this had goes, 1103 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 4: but when you have bad health care and no, that 1104 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:29,560 Speaker 4: shit matters. 1105 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:34,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, who knows, let's see, uh, Vinyl Collector says, hot, 1106 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,439 Speaker 3: Because I mean people. The other thing is, we don't 1107 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,759 Speaker 3: know that much about different places in Africa. I'm not 1108 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 3: that fucking bursting that shit. And I'm subject to a 1109 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:48,720 Speaker 3: lot of propaganda and and and anti blackness and stuff 1110 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,760 Speaker 3: from other places. So you know, the things I learned 1111 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 3: about Africa when I was younger was a bunch of bullshit. 1112 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 4: It's learn some bullshit about us too. 1113 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1114 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 3: So so I don't I don't feel like I really 1115 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,800 Speaker 3: have much place to speak on the workings of the 1116 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 3: continent because I don't know enough to be talking with 1117 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:11,719 Speaker 3: any level of authority about health care, about blood type, 1118 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 3: about tracking of. 1119 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 2: The numbers and stuff. 1120 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 3: And I think people get behind a mic and they 1121 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,400 Speaker 3: talk with so much fucking authority. It's like sometimes you 1122 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 3: don't fucking know, and it's okay. There's be somebody else 1123 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,839 Speaker 3: that does know, and that's their lane and they'll talk 1124 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 3: about it.

I think at one point you 1142 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 3: talked about how disproportionate people's response was to what you said, 1143 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:11,759 Speaker 3: and maybe talked a little about how it might be 1144 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,319 Speaker 3: a function of social media and how people gang up 1145 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 3: in that environment. But I also want to offer another 1146 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 3: potential reason. I've learned through therapy that I have certain triggers, 1147 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 3: and once I made aware of it, started noticing in 1148 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 3: my own life that I would have had these massive 1149 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 3: reactions to things that people said or did that weren't 1150 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 3: really a big deal because they were quote unquote triggering 1151 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 3: for me. 1152 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 2: When I stepped back and thought about it. 1153 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 3: I realized my reaction was because what they said reminded 1154 00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 3: me of someone who did worse or an event that 1155 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 3: they were reminding me of that was traumatic for me. 1156 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,479 Speaker 3: So I actually wasn't reacting to what that person sitting 1157 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 3: in front of me was saying or doing. I was 1158 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 3: reacting almost impulsively, based on what I experienced before. That 1159 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,759 Speaker 3: may have been some of what you were experiencing for 1160 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 3: those people on social media saying with ava too, could be? 1161 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 2: Could be? I think that's definitely possible, although I would say. 1162 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,440 Speaker 3: From what we've learned about social media, we also know 1163 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 3: that it is a place that can affect our mental health. 1164 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,479 Speaker 3: So whether that be because it reminds us of things 1165 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,759 Speaker 3: offline or literally just some of these are online phenomena 1166 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,880 Speaker 3: that just did not exist because we didn't have this 1167 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 3: much access to each other ten years ago, and so 1168 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 3: some of this is new, like the idea of someone 1169 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:29,160 Speaker 3: saying something like there was a time where like if 1170 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 3: you said something that was unpopular, only someone who knew 1171 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,360 Speaker 3: you would hear it. Yes, someone who was in proximity 1172 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,280 Speaker 3: to you would hear it, right, unless you were deemed 1173 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:39,839 Speaker 3: to have some type of you know, like you had 1174 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,839 Speaker 3: a TV show or radio show or something, but now 1175 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 3: you could just start an account and you don't even 1176 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,320 Speaker 3: have to be famous or anything. You could just have 1177 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 3: an opinion that enough people disagree with that it becomes 1178 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 3: a thing. 1179 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,880 Speaker 2: You know, We've seen people get fired off this stuff. 1180 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 3: We've seen people commit suicide based off of social media. 1181 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,760 Speaker 2: We've seen people come depressed. 1182 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 3: We've seen a lot of stuff. You know, It's exacerbated 1183 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 3: people's mental illness. We've seen bullying, We've seen someone become 1184 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,360 Speaker 3: president based off of social media. So it could, like 1185 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 3: I'm not knocking what you're saying, I'm just saying it 1186 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 3: could be that it quote unquote triggers me because of 1187 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:24,480 Speaker 3: some other deeper experience offline, which is totally possible. Or 1188 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 3: it could be an online phenomenon as well. You know, 1189 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 3: I bet some of the people that went in on 1190 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 3: her were triggered by something she said. Of course, I'm 1191 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 3: still working on myself to recognize when that's happening to 1192 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 3: have different response, but I can say that I'm still 1193 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,840 Speaker 3: guilty of it. I also feel you on anxiety, I 1194 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 3: don't become paralyzed that physical reaction. By'm someone who can 1195 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 3: replay a thing over and over and over again in 1196 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 3: my head for a long period of time. Sometimes I 1197 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 3: can hold onto it for months and sometimes even years. 1198 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,280 Speaker 3: Me too, By the way, I'm not sure that's anxiety, 1199 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 3: but I'm learning through therapy that's not healthy. 1200 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 2: Yep. Anyway, thank you for sparking these conversations that congratulations again, 1201 00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,640 Speaker 2: love y'all. Thank you for right now. Thank you, And yeah, 1202 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:03,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. 1203 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,080 Speaker 3: It could be like you said, like I said something 1204 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,279 Speaker 3: that's offline and I just haven't thought about it yet 1205 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,360 Speaker 3: or haven't figured out what it is. 1206 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,719 Speaker 2: But I don't know, Like it's not something that. 1207 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 3: It didn't make me feel like, oh man, a long 1208 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 3: time ago this type of thing happened. It's not something 1209 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 3: that honestly, it's not even something I really used to 1210 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:29,800 Speaker 3: feel like that until social media that I'm aware of, 1211 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 3: But maybe I don't know. More work to do, as 1212 00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 3: always peel back the layers of that on you. 1213 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 2: Farres says, thank you for having these discussions. At the 1214 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 2: top of the show. We're all going through this, so 1215 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 2: it's dope that you're creating a space to process the info. 1216 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 3: One of the things that helped me process. The way 1217 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 3: folks weaponized victimhood came from Rick and Morty. Oddly enough, 1218 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 3: on that Worldly Darly episode when Rick breaks down to 1219 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 3: Jerry that he pretends to be a victim, but he's 1220 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 3: really a predator for whatever reason. 1221 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 2: That's the shit that made it click for me. Yo, that, yeah, 1222 00:57:57,640 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 2: Jerry's a great example. 1223 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 4: Jerry's terrible. 1224 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and weaponizing victimhood. I've been recognizing that shit in 1225 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 3: so many places ever since. Realizations can sometimes come from 1226 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 3: the strangest places. Happy to hear your creating safe spaces 1227 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 3: for you to think through and feel through all this. 1228 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 3: People use safe space as a pejority, but we all 1229 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 3: need them, and a lot of folks will be healthier 1230 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 3: we have safe spaces. 1231 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 2: In our lives. 1232 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know me, man, I don't feel like no 1233 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 3: space is safe, but you know, I think the podcast 1234 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 3: the closest we get to it for ourselves, where we 1235 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 3: get to like express some things and be work through 1236 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 3: some things and be like, maybe this is wrong, maybe 1237 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 3: it's not, you know, and kind of feedback with each 1238 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 3: other and see like how you know, at least try 1239 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,080 Speaker 3: to come from a place of understanding. I just know 1240 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 3: that a place of understanding is just not something you're 1241 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 3: gonna find online very often. 1242 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 4: Correct. 1243 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,959 Speaker 3: But mil seventy three says, the twelve years of slave 1244 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 3: workout almost took me out control. 1245 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 2: But laughter while driving is never good. 1246 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,080 Speaker 3: Imagine black Bridge shut that shit down by shouting block 1247 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 3: lives my top. Matha Amel says, block lives my Uh, 1248 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 3: come on, have you ever had an anxiety attack? 1249 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm not sure or no, Karen. 1250 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 4: I don't know about an attack, but I have had 1251 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 4: anxiety and I did not realize it was anxiety. But 1252 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 4: I know now, particularly when COVID first hit and I 1253 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,800 Speaker 4: used to come home. Every time I would leave the house, 1254 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 4: I would have anxiety. I would be at work all day, 1255 00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 4: I would have anxiety. I didn't want anybody. This is 1256 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,440 Speaker 4: before the mass requirements and shit would have. I was like, no, no, 1257 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 4: don't be around me, give me space, like get away 1258 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,600 Speaker 4: from me. I get home, I would take off my clothes, 1259 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 4: I will wash it. I would be in a panic. 1260 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,040 Speaker 4: I you know, it's one of them things. I was like, 1261 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 4: oh my god, I don't want to go in there 1262 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 4: and get the COVID, you know, because like I said, 1263 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 4: I thought at that time it was so much misinformation. 1264 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:56,960 Speaker 4: I just wanted to be safe. I know, being at 1265 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 4: home was being safe, and outside of the house just 1266 00:59:59,000 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 4: sit me in a panic. 1267 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think anxiety is part of life. 1268 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 3: I think an anxiety attack is a little bit more debilitating, 1269 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 3: you know, right, like you might not be able to 1270 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,920 Speaker 3: function in certain ways and stuff. But yeah, you know, 1271 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:18,160 Speaker 3: I mean I before I think also it takes recognizing 1272 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 3: what it is. And I would say, before this weekend, 1273 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,440 Speaker 3: I had never thought of that stuff is anxiety or 1274 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 3: anxiety attacks. Now I go back and look and think 1275 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,920 Speaker 3: about just coming up as a kid, I remember there 1276 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 3: was a time my parents probably still remember this. There 1277 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,320 Speaker 3: was a time where I would go to school, eat 1278 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 3: lunch and throw up and need to come home. And 1279 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 3: it was happening like often. And I wasn't like sick, 1280 01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like it wasn't you know, 1281 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,560 Speaker 3: oh because you got this virus or some shit. It 1282 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 3: was just it was happening enough, you know what I mean. 1283 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 3: Especially when I would go to new schools, I would 1284 01:00:55,360 --> 01:01:00,760 Speaker 3: experience it, especially like right like oftentimes at lunch. You know, 1285 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,120 Speaker 3: I couldn't help it, you know. 1286 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:06,840 Speaker 2: I mean when we were in college, there was a 1287 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 2: time where I would throw up after eating sometimes and 1288 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 2: I never knew why. So I don't know. 1289 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,480 Speaker 3: I think I've always been an anxious person. I just 1290 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 3: never fucking knew. I never stopped, I never stopped and 1291 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 3: thought about it. And you know, luckily I've made it 1292 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,240 Speaker 3: to this age and to this level of privilege to 1293 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 3: even be able to analyze myself, because when you just 1294 01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 3: grinding day to day, man, you don't have time to 1295 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 3: stop and think about like why am I this way? 1296 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 2: What's going on with me? And now you know, I 1297 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:36,880 Speaker 2: think about it. 1298 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,320 Speaker 3: Over the course of my life, it's like, yeah, certain 1299 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,320 Speaker 3: people have made me feel anxious and my body has 1300 01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,280 Speaker 3: reacted very negatively to that. 1301 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:45,840 Speaker 4: You know. 1302 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 3: So, but once you know better, then it's like, how 1303 01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 3: do I start working on this thing? Because to me, 1304 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 3: what that last person that had written in that longer 1305 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 3: thing about anxiety? Hey man, you know a big thing 1306 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,080 Speaker 3: for me was being like, turn his phone on if 1307 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,959 Speaker 3: it's not real, you know what I mean? These people 1308 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,760 Speaker 3: don't know me, like, no one who knows me will 1309 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 3: ever say these things about me. Correct, And that's just 1310 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 3: the truth, you know. And the truth is the same 1311 01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,360 Speaker 3: for those other people too, like even when I want 1312 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 3: to come back at them about something they said about me. 1313 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 2: The truth is I don't know them. You know, one 1314 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 2: person that got mad at me. 1315 01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,560 Speaker 3: Follow you said some shit like we've been following each 1316 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 3: other for this long, and I'm like, I, honestly, God 1317 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 3: thought to myself, I don't fucking. 1318 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:32,760 Speaker 2: Know you, right, I don't even know your name, right, don't. 1319 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 2: I don't even know what you truly look like you have. 1320 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:36,640 Speaker 4: I don't know. 1321 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, this is insane that this is bothering me 1322 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,600 Speaker 3: this much, and that you're this bothered by the idea 1323 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,880 Speaker 3: that after you called me some names, I wouldn't want 1324 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,440 Speaker 3: to hang out with you anymore. That's, you know, virtually online, 1325 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 3: Like that's a weird thing. Because if that was real 1326 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,400 Speaker 3: life and I called you a name and you said 1327 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:54,800 Speaker 3: you don't want to come out of my house no more. 1328 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 2: I'd be like, that makes sense. I called you names, 1329 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 2: you know, like like it's such a weird thing. 1330 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:05,840 Speaker 3: So so yeah, the Poe yes, sixty one percent, I'm 1331 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 3: not sure, twenty five percent and fourteen percent. 1332 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 2: No, let's see. 1333 01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 3: Mwanganghi says, I've had an attack that I knew it 1334 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 3: was an attack at the time, but it was related 1335 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,640 Speaker 3: to recreational drug use. Psychoactives can be difficult to deal 1336 01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 3: with if you can't surf the wave. 1337 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 2: And I was nineteen year old was zerr experience. Now 1338 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 2: give me some mushroom tea once twice a year in 1339 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 2: the cabin next to a fire. 1340 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,960 Speaker 3: During the winter with some friends, and I'm cozy. A 1341 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 3: mom says, thank you again for bringing up the topic. 1342 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 3: Just this year, one of my sisters just caught on 1343 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,600 Speaker 3: that I'm clinically depressed, so it's an everyday battle and 1344 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,400 Speaker 3: not just a mon is sad today. Also, I have 1345 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 3: seasonal effective disorder, which is I suppose it is slightly 1346 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 3: easier for my family to understand than my depression. It's 1347 01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 3: definitely important to continue to open up about it so 1348 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 3: people can understand it. Last year, my husband opened up 1349 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 3: about how he wasn't really prepared for my mental health 1350 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 3: issues before we got married. I've always been open and 1351 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 3: honest about it, but that's still didn't help him truly understand. 1352 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:03,840 Speaker 3: So we're both in therapy and I'm really proud of 1353 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 3: him for going. There's been a difference in the way 1354 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,000 Speaker 3: he reacts when I'm at a low point or have 1355 01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 3: an anxiety attack. Erasing stigmas doesn't happen overnight. So thank 1356 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 3: you for bringing the topic up again, love you in mind, 1357 01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 3: Thank you, right. 1358 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 4: And you know, I'm glad that your husband was even 1359 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 4: open to the point of learning how to deal because 1360 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 4: a lot of times when things happen and find the 1361 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 4: members see people go through stuff, they don't know how 1362 01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,680 Speaker 4: to deal. Their first reaction a lot of times is 1363 01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 4: to retreat, and you know, and the person actually needs 1364 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 4: that support system, but it's one of those things where 1365 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:42,880 Speaker 4: they didn't go to school, they don't have the medical 1366 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 4: degrees in this. They just don't know. And so a 1367 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 4: lot of times when you bring up a I have 1368 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,920 Speaker 4: this problem, you know, would you go get help? A 1369 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,160 Speaker 4: lot of people refuse that and it becomes like an 1370 01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:57,120 Speaker 4: issue in the relationship because you go, what I need 1371 01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:58,640 Speaker 4: for you to help me so that you could better 1372 01:04:58,720 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 4: understand me. Right. 1373 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 3: So, and also people are constantly changing, Yes they are. 1374 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 3: So you don't like not no understanding that or knowing 1375 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 3: that when you got married. I mean, that's just life, 1376 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,440 Speaker 3: that's true, that's real. It's the same way people want 1377 01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,080 Speaker 3: to have kids. You had the kids and then like, oh, 1378 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 3: this is harder than our thought. This is different than 1379 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 3: what I thought was gonna be like being married or 1380 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 3: being in a relationship is just a promise to try 1381 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,840 Speaker 3: to grow together or try to understand every day. 1382 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:33,960 Speaker 2: It's not It's not an immutable fact because people change 1383 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 2: every day. 1384 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 3: Sugar Base says, Hi, caring and Rod, I'm a week behind, 1385 01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 3: but caught up to say congratulations. I'm so proud of 1386 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,000 Speaker 3: you too, and I'm happy to have been along for 1387 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 3: the ride and growth. You two work so damn hard, 1388 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 3: and you have. 1389 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,000 Speaker 2: To really bring us complete shows. To really bring us 1390 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,120 Speaker 2: complete shows, it truly appreciates. It's truly appreciated, and this 1391 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 2: is truly deserved. Rod, I appreciate your candor regarding anxiety. 1392 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,760 Speaker 2: When Karen detailed why she's a flight and not fight person, 1393 01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 2: I was weed in my garden and mumbling, it's me, 1394 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:01,040 Speaker 2: it's me, over and over. 1395 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,160 Speaker 3: I definitely decided long ago to shut out things that 1396 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,280 Speaker 3: greatly displease or distress me. That includes people. I'm working 1397 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,720 Speaker 3: on a more balanced approach and therapy sitting the hudsond 1398 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,120 Speaker 3: like lol, yeah. 1399 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 4: Cause it has to be, you know, to an extent, 1400 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 4: it does need to be a more balanced approach. Now 1401 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 4: it's more balanced. At one period of time, it was 1402 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,440 Speaker 4: not balanced because I was like, oh no, no, no negativity. 1403 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,800 Speaker 4: You got to go like I was immediately like chopping moth, 1404 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,400 Speaker 4: cut them off. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope nope. 1405 01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 4: You know because I was like, nope, you're adding stress. 1406 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 2: And you know. 1407 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 4: And the thing is, truth be told. When people come 1408 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,240 Speaker 4: into your life that just don't come into your life 1409 01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,919 Speaker 4: their problems, they're issues, their weights. All that shit comes 1410 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 4: into your life too, So you have to think of 1411 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 4: people as a whole and all your problems and issues. 1412 01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,400 Speaker 4: Guess what it does. It rocks their world too. A 1413 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,920 Speaker 4: lot of times people only think about it from their perspective, 1414 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,480 Speaker 4: but it's too different. It's like you got a room 1415 01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,520 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, you have double the baggage 1416 01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,360 Speaker 4: in the room because everybody don't care who you are. 1417 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 4: Everybody comes with baggage, some for them. I don't care 1418 01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,040 Speaker 4: if you got a pocketbook or suitcase or for whole 1419 01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 4: luggage sets. You coming with some some form of baggage. 1420 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 4: So for me, I had to learn how to balance 1421 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 4: that and also I had to learn how to for 1422 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,320 Speaker 4: me person, I had to learn how to put friends 1423 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,040 Speaker 4: I have. I have people that I put in categories 1424 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,480 Speaker 4: everybody has their categories that I put them in. I 1425 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,600 Speaker 4: have some people were friends, then I have some people know. 1426 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,520 Speaker 4: You're the person I hang out for this, you're the 1427 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,800 Speaker 4: person I hang out for that. Like, we're still cool, 1428 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 4: but I wouldn't quote unquote consider as friends like like 1429 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,360 Speaker 4: to me, it's a different. Once I started kind of 1430 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 4: categorizing like that, it made it made it easier for 1431 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,400 Speaker 4: my mind, and I didn't. I got to the point 1432 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,960 Speaker 4: where I felt like I didn't have to be everything 1433 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,600 Speaker 4: to everybody. And also I got to the fact too well, 1434 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,480 Speaker 4: you got to recognize the friendship for what it is, 1435 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 4: and you're not gonna be best friends with everybody. You know, 1436 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 4: every everybody. Some people you go, Okay, you're the person 1437 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 4: we just go to the comic book store together. You're 1438 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 4: the person we just go walking together. You the person 1439 01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 4: I just go to church. And that's literally the whole relationship. 1440 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,120 Speaker 4: Does nothing more to it. It's not deeper. It's a 1441 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 4: superficial relationship, and it is okay to have superficial relationships 1442 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,520 Speaker 4: with people. But everybody asks, like everybody has to be 1443 01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,479 Speaker 4: your best friend. That's not true because everybody's personalities aren't 1444 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 4: the same. You might not have you literally might not 1445 01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,639 Speaker 4: have the same interest outside of that. And I found 1446 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 4: that it made it easier to get along with people. 1447 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,880 Speaker 4: And it's something that I had to do with myself 1448 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 4: because I know me personally. I was the type of 1449 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,920 Speaker 4: person that I sought friendships because I was the only child, 1450 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 4: so I sought friendships. I sought approval, and I try 1451 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 4: to force friendships. And I had to know you can't 1452 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,720 Speaker 4: force friendships. If a person wants to be friends with you, 1453 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 4: they will, and if they don't, you have to let 1454 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 4: it go and let it be. It is what it is, 1455 01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 4: and sometimes you just have to look at the friendship 1456 01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,639 Speaker 4: and watch it die and be okay with the friendship dying. 1457 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:52,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the fight or flight thing is definitely real, 1458 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I think I'm more of a fighter. 1459 01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,160 Speaker 3: But there's a cost of that type of fight, know, 1460 01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,439 Speaker 3: whether it be emotional, whether it be physical or whatever. 1461 01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,800 Speaker 3: So I was a cost of the fight. And we've 1462 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 3: been encouraged to kind of go no, there is no 1463 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:14,560 Speaker 3: cost and deny it. And that's a huge problem for 1464 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 3: me because I know it's not truly honest for a 1465 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:17,880 Speaker 3: lot of people. 1466 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 2: And until you can be honest with yourself. 1467 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,000 Speaker 3: You're never gonna be able to You're never gonna be 1468 01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 3: able to truly move past it. You're never gonna be 1469 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 3: able to truly accept things. And I think for me, 1470 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 3: a big part of accepting is the cost of the fight, 1471 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 3: of being like, Okay, so before I would just fight 1472 01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 3: and then go it doesn't matter. 1473 01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,680 Speaker 2: I'm tough, I'm strong. And then when you look back 1474 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 2: and go, nah, I was fucking I was fucked up 1475 01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,000 Speaker 2: off of that fight. You know, I felt bad off 1476 01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:47,200 Speaker 2: of that. 1477 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:51,800 Speaker 3: I thought about the obsessed about this thing for weeks, months, days, years, 1478 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:52,640 Speaker 3: and I. 1479 01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 2: Go, Okay, there was a cost of that. You know. 1480 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 3: So how what am I learning for the next conflict? 1481 01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 3: What I'm learning how to handle the next the next 1482 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,920 Speaker 3: situation that may not have to even be a conflict? 1483 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 3: Doud Well, how do I handle that in the future? 1484 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? And before I move on? My thing is this 1485 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,800 Speaker 4: A lot of times people I'm not trying to find that. 1486 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 4: People think it's strength and fighting, which it is, but 1487 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,840 Speaker 4: people fail to realize there is strength in running away too, 1488 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 4: which people have a tendency not to think of the 1489 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 4: people that don't. Their first reaction is not fight. They're 1490 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 4: weak and there's something wrong with them. But a lot 1491 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,800 Speaker 4: of times those people that actually analyze the situation and go, 1492 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,599 Speaker 4: I pick and choose what I what what I put 1493 01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 4: my fight in is not I can't fight every battle. 1494 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,320 Speaker 4: So they've decided if I fight, you're gonna get one 1495 01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 4: hundred percent out of this fight. You're not gonna get 1496 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:48,519 Speaker 4: fifty percent. No, if I decide to stake my ground here, 1497 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,599 Speaker 4: oh it's going to be a battle. But a lot 1498 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,400 Speaker 4: of people, that's a lot of people are shocked and 1499 01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 4: surprised when the people that you know have a tendency 1500 01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,879 Speaker 4: not to fight on everything stand their ground and everybody's 1501 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 4: in the room shocked, and that they're less shocked because 1502 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:03,160 Speaker 4: they go, oh, no, no, not you. And it's not 1503 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,120 Speaker 4: that it's just fact, no, no, you have pushed me 1504 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:06,960 Speaker 4: to the point that I've decided to fight here. A 1505 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 4: lot of times too, Pictoe, those people are the most 1506 01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 4: dangerous because those people are like, no, no, I've analyzed it, 1507 01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,640 Speaker 4: I've thought about it, and you're gonna get all this 1508 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:15,880 Speaker 4: business right here. Yeah. 1509 01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 2: And that's the thing. I'm more of that type of person. 1510 01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 3: So even because I'm very patient, so even when I 1511 01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 3: do decide to make a stand on something. It wasn't 1512 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 3: the first. It's never reactionary. I'm not a reactionary person. 1513 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 3: I'm very much like, Okay, it could let me consider. 1514 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 2: It all the past. It could be that. It could 1515 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:34,760 Speaker 2: be that. 1516 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 3: But then once I decide like, okay, I'm gonna have 1517 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,600 Speaker 3: to fight this person, I'm you know, they were in 1518 01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,639 Speaker 3: junior high school. I was this kid that was picking 1519 01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 3: on me, and he's I don't know why he just 1520 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 3: chose me to be the kid he picked on. 1521 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,840 Speaker 2: Probably because I was only black kid. Uh, I was 1522 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:57,720 Speaker 2: only black boy in the academically gifted program. And so 1523 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,559 Speaker 2: this white kid just single me out as the one 1524 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:06,599 Speaker 2: he wanted to fucking talk shit about. And he didn't 1525 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,599 Speaker 2: he didn't know. You know, I'm from Yorkwood. I'm right, 1526 01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:11,400 Speaker 2: I'm raised on the South Side. 1527 01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:15,600 Speaker 3: Like this is like, yeah, fighting people in my neighborhood 1528 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 3: was just part of living in the neighborhood. Like you're 1529 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,439 Speaker 3: gonna have to fucking occasionally, you're gonna have to throw 1530 01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 3: hands at the basketball court, at the bus stop if 1531 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,120 Speaker 3: you just kind of want. I'm not saying it should 1532 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 3: be that way, I honestly wish, looking back in hindsight, 1533 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:32,720 Speaker 3: I think about how much trauma black people have gone 1534 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:34,760 Speaker 3: through and we don't even know because. 1535 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:35,680 Speaker 4: We just, oh shit, hurt. 1536 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, so much is just a way of life, whether 1537 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,599 Speaker 3: it's hitting at home, for hitting your children, whether it's 1538 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 3: going to the bus stop hitting each other, whether it's 1539 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,719 Speaker 3: police and school officials hitting us with all this stuff. 1540 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 3: So anyway, he didn't know that I come from this background, 1541 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 3: you know, and not that I'm special. A lot of 1542 01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,000 Speaker 3: black people come from this background. It's just literally part 1543 01:12:55,040 --> 01:13:00,040 Speaker 3: of being black in certain areas. And so he he 1544 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 3: would pick on me in school and stuff. And my 1545 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 3: dad was a kind of person that's like, you don't 1546 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,800 Speaker 3: fight people unless you have unless you have to defend 1547 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 3: yourself period. If not, you're gonna get in trouble when 1548 01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,320 Speaker 3: you get home. So don't don't be out here picking 1549 01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,120 Speaker 3: on nobody. Don't be out here starting a necessary fight. 1550 01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,040 Speaker 3: That may have something to do with why I'm so 1551 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,519 Speaker 3: patient and also part of why. 1552 01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:23,839 Speaker 2: I can I have anxiety. 1553 01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:24,640 Speaker 5: Right, So. 1554 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:30,280 Speaker 3: This kid was picking on me, and I let him 1555 01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 3: think that I was a kind of person that would 1556 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,759 Speaker 3: not fight him. You know, I never acted like scared, 1557 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 3: but I just let him know, like, okay, man, like 1558 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,080 Speaker 3: you're saying a bunch of wild shit to me. 1559 01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna just leave it alone. I'm gonna try to 1560 01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:45,880 Speaker 2: play it down, play it, you know. 1561 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:47,439 Speaker 3: And it didn't matter what I did. If I tried 1562 01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 3: to joke it off, he just keep going. If I 1563 01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:51,639 Speaker 3: try to, you know, move okay, Well I'm gonna move away. 1564 01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,320 Speaker 3: So one day we were in pe class together. 1565 01:13:55,640 --> 01:14:00,599 Speaker 2: And he was picking on me when we were playing 1566 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 2: some sport. I forget. It was like a teen sport, 1567 01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 2: and so. 1568 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,639 Speaker 3: I finally I think it might have been basketball something, 1569 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,000 Speaker 3: But I finally like did something and talk shit like 1570 01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:11,960 Speaker 3: I scored on him or something, or I blocked the 1571 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,360 Speaker 3: shot or whatever, and he just starts talking shit. He 1572 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 3: follows me all the way to the locker room. Now 1573 01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:20,280 Speaker 3: what he doesn't know is I've been ready to whoop 1574 01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,720 Speaker 3: his ass for a long time. So I just I 1575 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,600 Speaker 3: just I just didn't want to get in trouble like that. 1576 01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,320 Speaker 3: Was like I mostly was like, if I'm gonna fight you, 1577 01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:31,760 Speaker 3: I need to be able to come home, because that 1578 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,160 Speaker 3: was justify my action. Yeah, there was another time I 1579 01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:35,960 Speaker 3: beat the ship out of this kid because he was 1580 01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:38,360 Speaker 3: talking about my mama, and I thought that was a 1581 01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,200 Speaker 3: good enough reason and I ended up getting one of 1582 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 3: the whoopings in my lifetime because that's not a good 1583 01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:44,920 Speaker 3: enough reason. Apparently, in my house, you can't just be 1584 01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,000 Speaker 3: like he was talking about my mama and everybody get 1585 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:48,479 Speaker 3: talked about it. 1586 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:48,720 Speaker 5: Right. 1587 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,200 Speaker 3: My dad was like, I'm not with that. You got 1588 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:56,840 Speaker 3: to get a whooping. So so I ended up going 1589 01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,880 Speaker 3: into the locker room. And the way the locker bo 1590 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,639 Speaker 3: his locker room was there was there was a bench 1591 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:03,920 Speaker 3: in the middle of the lockers. 1592 01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 2: There's lockers on one side, lockers on the other side. 1593 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:07,720 Speaker 2: The bench is about knee. 1594 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:11,040 Speaker 3: Level, right, and so his locker was on the other 1595 01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:14,360 Speaker 3: side of the bench, and I turned my back to 1596 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,920 Speaker 3: him and was like, I'm opening up my locker. But 1597 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 3: I knew the whole time he's gonna come in and 1598 01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:22,080 Speaker 3: talk shit. And he because he thought I just talked shit. 1599 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,759 Speaker 3: That's what he thought was. Oh, Rod is a person 1600 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 3: that lets I've been talking shit to him. We had 1601 01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:29,280 Speaker 3: a couple run ins, but it's never really been an 1602 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:30,839 Speaker 3: altercation that gotten physical. 1603 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 2: He's never really come back at me.

They haven't been doing it, 1946 01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:32,360 Speaker 3: and they've been holding mass gathering events, the exact things 1947 01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:33,680 Speaker 3: that give people coronavirus. 1948 01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:36,280 Speaker 2: So it's easy for me to be like, y'all got 1949 01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:36,880 Speaker 2: it now. 1950 01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,040 Speaker 3: I don't expect them to fucking dib it because most 1951 01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:42,479 Speaker 3: of them can have access to great health care, even 1952 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 3: preventative great health care.

He didn't even have 1955 01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,960 Speaker 2: any bad symptoms. He just went to the hospital. The 1956 01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:57,080 Speaker 2: average person can't do that. 1957 01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,760 Speaker 3: So and literally they will make you ass I'll let 1958 01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:03,800 Speaker 3: you go home, make you go home. So it was 1959 01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:06,960 Speaker 3: obvious to me that they had it. Also, the thing 1960 01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:10,040 Speaker 3: with this White House, they have scandals literally every day. 1961 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:14,840 Speaker 3: So what happens is, I think our brains as human beings, 1962 01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,679 Speaker 3: we need to process things, so we put it into 1963 01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:21,240 Speaker 3: narrative order, and so we go, this thing is a 1964 01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,479 Speaker 3: distraction from that thing, and that thing is a distraction 1965 01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,920 Speaker 3: from this thing, and it all goes back when everything 1966 01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:28,960 Speaker 3: is burning at the same time. 1967 01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:31,639 Speaker 2: None of it's a distraction to anything. 1968 01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:37,360 Speaker 3: Like they're not going, oh, no, they know about the taxes, 1969 01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:42,040 Speaker 3: let's get coronavirus. Like, no, they have been doing dangerous 1970 01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:45,799 Speaker 3: shit that would give you coronavirus for the same reasons. 1971 01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,479 Speaker 3: He ain't even paying his taxes and don't give a 1972 01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:51,960 Speaker 3: fuck about that, for the same reason that Milania being complicit. 1973 01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:55,559 Speaker 2: Were any of us surprised that she was complicit? Nah, 1974 01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:59,880 Speaker 2: none of this is even scandalous to them. 1975 01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:03,080 Speaker 3: What we will have to do is except that they 1976 01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,720 Speaker 3: believe some of these scandals can hurt them. I do 1977 01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:09,760 Speaker 3: not believe they believe that when he said he can 1978 01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:12,920 Speaker 3: shoot a man on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight or 1979 01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:18,040 Speaker 3: something stupid shit, he believes that and nothing. Everything we 1980 01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:21,920 Speaker 3: know of him has not yet brought him down, So 1981 01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 3: there's no reason to find his arrogance and lack. 1982 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:27,680 Speaker 2: Of humor is to be any level of surprising. 1983 01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 3: I'm much more likely to believe the obvious that is 1984 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 3: it won't bring him down, and he actually knows it 1985 01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:38,720 Speaker 3: won't bring him down. So the reason the scandals keep 1986 01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:42,280 Speaker 3: popping up is because he keep doing scandalous shit like. 1987 01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:44,800 Speaker 3: It's not because he's like, oh what, I need a 1988 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 3: new hit to get him off the old shit. N 1989 01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:50,680 Speaker 3: This nigga just is that fucked up, And unfortunately for us, 1990 01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:52,599 Speaker 3: the scandal is the goddamn point. 1991 01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:56,599 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, you know, like they literally are like the scandal. 1992 01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 2: They voted for him to be a scandaler in chief, 1993 01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:06,320 Speaker 2: and that frustrates me more than anything.

I'm thinking 2159 01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:51,280 Speaker 3: about that line in Lovecraft about magic not just being 2160 01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:54,960 Speaker 3: incantation incantation, but energy and intention. 2161 01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:57,080 Speaker 2: So it's not to upset the balance of nature. 2162 01:42:57,320 --> 01:42:58,920 Speaker 3: A couple of months ago, I chose to get off 2163 01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:00,840 Speaker 3: of Twitter because I felt like balance of my nature 2164 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,439 Speaker 3: is being upset. I don't even interact on Twitter like that, 2165 01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,160 Speaker 3: but even with the careful curation of my other sentiments, 2166 01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:08,720 Speaker 3: I was seeing it was having an outside impact on 2167 01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,160 Speaker 3: how it made me feel. I found that the good 2168 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:13,960 Speaker 3: stuff was so easily overshadowed by it bad. And maybe 2169 01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:17,280 Speaker 3: my black Girl magic wasn't as impervious as I would 2170 01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:21,519 Speaker 3: like the to the way as I would like to 2171 01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,240 Speaker 3: the spells of that world's magic, that kind of magic, 2172 01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:26,880 Speaker 3: the kind that tears down and doesn't build up, harms 2173 01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:30,000 Speaker 3: and doesn't help and rages and doesn't come cast spells 2174 01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:33,240 Speaker 3: I can't afford. They called so too much, and the 2175 01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:36,200 Speaker 3: way my emotional economy is set up similar to Cairns, 2176 01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:38,200 Speaker 3: Twitter just felt like it was too easy to land 2177 01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,320 Speaker 3: in the throes of a recession, robbing Peter to pay Paul, 2178 01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,120 Speaker 3: as the old folks say, allocating a whole lot of 2179 01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:48,439 Speaker 3: emotional energy to a consciousness and enterprise that yields more 2180 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:52,599 Speaker 3: losses than gains, especially at particularly vulnerable moments. I tried 2181 01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:56,280 Speaker 3: limiting log ons to begin, but that then just went. 2182 01:43:56,240 --> 01:43:59,840 Speaker 2: To full avoidance route. Yeah, I can see that, you know. 2183 01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:06,280 Speaker 3: I think that's you know, that's definitely something like I 2184 01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:09,800 Speaker 3: always try to find a balancer because part of it 2185 01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:12,400 Speaker 3: is our business and promotion. Part of why we have 2186 01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:14,679 Speaker 3: what we have is because of social media. 2187 01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:19,639 Speaker 2: Because of and I know specifically my presence there. 2188 01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:24,479 Speaker 3: But yeah, I just find myself more and more being 2189 01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:26,240 Speaker 3: like I don't even want to log on there, or 2190 01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:29,120 Speaker 3: I'm just not looking, or I delete it off my phone, 2191 01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:30,559 Speaker 3: or I take a break, things. 2192 01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:34,040 Speaker 4: Like that, you know. Yeah, I say, and I find 2193 01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:36,880 Speaker 4: a balance, Like you say, is one of those things 2194 01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:43,120 Speaker 4: where my balance is. I do a lot of retweets 2195 01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:46,880 Speaker 4: on my particular Twitter age and Facebook too. I put 2196 01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:49,040 Speaker 4: my thoughts out there every now and then. But you know, 2197 01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:52,280 Speaker 4: it's one of those things to where I have learned 2198 01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:54,360 Speaker 4: how to balance that. I have learned to how to 2199 01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:56,800 Speaker 4: ignore shit. I've learned how to mute shit, you know, 2200 01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,639 Speaker 4: And I've learned that if I see an event happening, 2201 01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:01,840 Speaker 4: is almost like you can see the tidal wave coming 2202 01:45:01,960 --> 01:45:04,040 Speaker 4: and you're standing at the ocean and you see the 2203 01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,320 Speaker 4: tide raising at your feet. You go, no, I think 2204 01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:08,240 Speaker 4: I'm gonna leave for a get to my knees. So 2205 01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:10,759 Speaker 4: a lot of times I'll just exit the room before 2206 01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:12,680 Speaker 4: it gets to a certain point because it, like I 2207 01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:14,840 Speaker 4: said before, if you've been on social media long enough, 2208 01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:18,720 Speaker 4: you I always know what's gonna happen. You literally can tell, Okay, 2209 01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:20,680 Speaker 4: this is the first wave, this is the second wave, 2210 01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,000 Speaker 4: this is the third wave. Give it this many days. 2211 01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:25,760 Speaker 4: It's literally a formula to it. They'll be talking about 2212 01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,200 Speaker 4: something else within forty eight to seventy two to the 2213 01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 4: next week. And once you understand that concept, you can 2214 01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:33,880 Speaker 4: kind of avoid certain situations. I know I can't avoid 2215 01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:35,759 Speaker 4: certain situations that will stress you out. 2216 01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:37,320 Speaker 2: All right. 2217 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:42,160 Speaker 3: I don't know if you recall me sending you that 2218 01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:46,439 Speaker 3: quote from tag or Hope. I said that right that reads, 2219 01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:50,280 Speaker 3: we read the world wrong and say it deceives us. 2220 01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:52,439 Speaker 3: I think I may have sent it then because I 2221 01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:54,840 Speaker 3: sense that despite your awareness of how this thing is 2222 01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:55,559 Speaker 3: built and how. 2223 01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:57,600 Speaker 2: It affects folks or desire to reconcile. 2224 01:45:57,240 --> 01:45:59,880 Speaker 3: The dissonance between how the world presents itself and how 2225 01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:02,760 Speaker 3: actually is what people say and how they act leads 2226 01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:05,120 Speaker 3: to this internal level of dissonance where you are fully 2227 01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:08,320 Speaker 3: aware of how the world is, but can't reconcile a 2228 01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:11,120 Speaker 3: way to not have it affect you as much as 2229 01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:13,200 Speaker 3: it does, and try to get people to see their 2230 01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:15,840 Speaker 3: on contribution to the dissonance. You care and so it 2231 01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:18,960 Speaker 3: bothers you. You've mastered the art of reframing perspectives. But 2232 01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:22,040 Speaker 3: people in their angers, hatreds, and fears are every bit 2233 01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:24,880 Speaker 3: as contagious as corona. You might not get the full 2234 01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:27,439 Speaker 3: on disease, but your immune system is fighting like crazy 2235 01:46:27,479 --> 01:46:29,880 Speaker 3: to keep you healthy and whole. Your body feels that fight, 2236 01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,000 Speaker 3: and it feels terrible for someone who relies on the 2237 01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:37,160 Speaker 3: introverted existence of energy replenishment, where you retreat internally to 2238 01:46:37,240 --> 01:46:40,519 Speaker 3: get restored. It's like the social media experience invades that 2239 01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:44,680 Speaker 3: quiet retreat too. The sounds, feelings, words you're experiencing the 2240 01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,560 Speaker 3: interaction get all over you and they keep leeching from you. 2241 01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,240 Speaker 3: And you try, and you're trying to get hold again 2242 01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:52,519 Speaker 3: to restore balance, but you can now you need that. 2243 01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:57,160 Speaker 3: Now you feel that cognitive dissonance, this frustrating perseveration that 2244 01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:01,000 Speaker 3: you can't let go of, won't let go of you, 2245 01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,400 Speaker 3: If it will not let go of you, that's the 2246 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,800 Speaker 3: intention of the magic so you have to counter by 2247 01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:10,479 Speaker 3: finding a way to let go of it. Our work 2248 01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:13,280 Speaker 3: becomes finding ways to cast and spell of protection or 2249 01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:15,240 Speaker 3: transform the energy of the spell cast on us. 2250 01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:20,080 Speaker 2: There's a lot of love crafting and analysis here, a 2251 01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:24,519 Speaker 2: lot of analogies work. Does a world without you on 2252 01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:26,920 Speaker 2: social media look like? Is that possible? And what does 2253 01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:27,519 Speaker 2: that feel like? 2254 01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 3: Is it possible to the detriment of the show social 2255 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:32,400 Speaker 3: media presence before the sake of your wholeness?

There's 2339 01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,080 Speaker 3: a running joke on one of my favorite liberal blaws 2340 01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:17,120 Speaker 3: called merks Law. Merks Law is simply that only Democrats 2341 01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:19,840 Speaker 3: have agency, so they get all the blame no matter what, 2342 01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:23,559 Speaker 3: and it's always a Democrats fault despite what the GOP does. 2343 01:51:23,720 --> 01:51:26,040 Speaker 3: It's a sadly common outlook, even on the left and 2344 01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,280 Speaker 3: in society as a whole. Republicans are just nasty, racist 2345 01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:31,559 Speaker 3: tdlers who can't ever be expected to not be awful, 2346 01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:35,920 Speaker 3: so everyone focuses at criticism and blame on Democrats. Yes, 2347 01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:38,599 Speaker 3: that's one of the reasons why I've read that Chris 2348 01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:41,640 Speaker 3: Rock quote about Pelosi and I was just like, bro, 2349 01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:44,280 Speaker 3: come on, we I'm. 2350 01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:46,479 Speaker 2: Sure at some point I'll talk about this if I 2351 01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:47,200 Speaker 2: haven't already. 2352 01:51:47,280 --> 01:51:52,240 Speaker 3: But we have to stop thinking it is smart to 2353 01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:55,519 Speaker 3: say both sides are just kind of fucked up. 2354 01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:59,600 Speaker 2: We have to stop thinking that it's not okay, and 2355 01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:04,800 Speaker 2: it's is literally stupid. It is literally the dumbest fucking 2356 01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:05,519 Speaker 2: thing you can say. 2357 01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:08,040 Speaker 3: You think you're being smart because we've been told and 2358 01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:11,360 Speaker 3: taught our whole lives that being quote unquote unbiased and 2359 01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:12,720 Speaker 3: objective is the goal. 2360 01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:17,200 Speaker 2: But you can't be unbiased and objective with everything, and 2361 01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:21,000 Speaker 2: people do it with everything.

So yeah. 2424 01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:39,280 Speaker 3: On a related note, here's a podcast interview with Christine Pelosi, 2425 01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:42,080 Speaker 3: Nancy's sister, who's also a DIM organizer, that has some 2426 01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:45,320 Speaker 3: interesting insights about Nancy and how she operates and views 2427 01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:48,839 Speaker 3: her job. And it's called how We Win episode sixteen. 2428 01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:50,160 Speaker 2: I had to check that one out. 2429 01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:53,840 Speaker 3: Anyways, I appreciate the fact you actually talk about this 2430 01:55:53,920 --> 01:55:56,800 Speaker 3: stuff while also acknowledging the political realities about sexism and 2431 01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:58,760 Speaker 3: the elector with forty percent of the voters are completely 2432 01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:01,560 Speaker 3: batshit crazy. If you have ever tried to put together 2433 01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:03,600 Speaker 3: a pizza order for an office full of workers, you 2434 01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:05,640 Speaker 3: know how hard it is to get agreement on anything. 2435 01:56:05,800 --> 01:56:08,400 Speaker 4: Yep, So why they do basic cheese and pepperoni? They 2436 01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:09,480 Speaker 4: fuck it? Nothing else. 2437 01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:13,200 Speaker 3: Politicians have to serve that role for far more important 2438 01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:16,160 Speaker 3: life death issues. Where has the office wants pepperoni and 2439 01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:19,680 Speaker 3: the other half wants the tire rims and anthrax is 2440 01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:22,880 Speaker 3: the pizza topping. It's a hard job and I have 2441 01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:25,960 Speaker 3: nothing but respect for any Democrat willing to do that work, 2442 01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:28,879 Speaker 3: especially the ones in the deep red parts of the country. 2443 01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:29,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2444 01:56:29,720 --> 01:56:36,760 Speaker 3: I agree, and specifically on that the part about politicians. 2445 01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:39,880 Speaker 3: People look at politicians as these individual people who make 2446 01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:44,800 Speaker 3: individual decisions. They are a collection of the people who 2447 01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:47,840 Speaker 3: support them, the people who finance them, and the people 2448 01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:48,880 Speaker 3: who vote for them. 2449 01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:49,840 Speaker 2: That's it. 2450 01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:54,440 Speaker 3: So any failing a politician has represents a failing of 2451 01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:57,960 Speaker 3: either the system or failing of the people, because and 2452 01:56:58,120 --> 01:57:01,840 Speaker 3: the people in America use politicians as an avatar to 2453 01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:05,280 Speaker 3: never take any fucking responsibility. That's why, that's why you 2454 01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:08,040 Speaker 3: have so many people who think objecting the voting is 2455 01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,600 Speaker 3: some sort of like bold statement when it's literally you 2456 01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:14,959 Speaker 3: objecting from having responsibility of anything. 2457 01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:15,760 Speaker 2: Right. 2458 01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:18,560 Speaker 3: The process doesn't work exactly how I wanted to, So 2459 01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:20,800 Speaker 3: fuck it. I'm gonna let you die. That's what you're 2460 01:57:20,840 --> 01:57:22,680 Speaker 3: telling me, And then you want me to high five 2461 01:57:22,760 --> 01:57:26,680 Speaker 3: you like you're welcome to me. I have two quick, 2462 01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:29,520 Speaker 3: two quick TV questions. One have you checked out Netflix 2463 01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:33,120 Speaker 3: series The Kingdom. It's Korean historical zombie story and it's 2464 01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:35,280 Speaker 3: really superb. I think as a fan of martial arts, 2465 01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:37,400 Speaker 3: zombies and high quality foreign series, I think you might 2466 01:57:37,480 --> 01:57:40,240 Speaker 3: dig it. It's on a list along with a million 2467 01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:42,000 Speaker 3: other things, but it is on my list and it 2468 01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:42,840 Speaker 3: has been for a while. 2469 01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:43,560 Speaker 2: Two. 2470 01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:45,960 Speaker 3: Have you considered doing a recap or review? If I 2471 01:57:46,040 --> 01:57:48,000 Speaker 3: may destroy you? That shows filled with so much stuff 2472 01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:50,080 Speaker 3: for a deeper discussion. If not, do you know any 2473 01:57:50,120 --> 01:57:51,560 Speaker 3: good podcasts who covered it? 2474 01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:55,400 Speaker 2: Thanks for all you both do. Stay safe, John well, 2475 01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:57,200 Speaker 2: we did not do a recap of it. I have 2476 01:57:57,360 --> 01:57:59,440 Speaker 2: watched it myself. I thought it was excellent. 2477 01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:02,160 Speaker 3: I think people aren't talking about it for the most 2478 01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:05,080 Speaker 3: part because it's not a black and white show where 2479 01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:08,320 Speaker 3: you got good and bad protagonists and shit, a lot 2480 01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:14,800 Speaker 3: of murky stuff around consent, sex, sexual assault, social media, 2481 01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:15,080 Speaker 3: all that. 2482 01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:19,440 Speaker 2: Stuff of excellent excellent show. Two things I would recommend. One. 2483 01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:22,520 Speaker 3: I believe it was Vanity Fair UK, but it may 2484 01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:26,120 Speaker 3: have been a different maybe Vogue or something. But there's 2485 01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:32,240 Speaker 3: an interview where MICHAELA. Cole and Donald Glover both like 2486 01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:35,520 Speaker 3: have a conversation and then they put it out in 2487 01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:36,160 Speaker 3: print form. 2488 01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:41,600 Speaker 2: Check that out that shit is bars two. Check out 2489 01:58:41,680 --> 01:58:44,000 Speaker 2: Tea with Queen and Jay. They did a recap of 2490 01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:45,040 Speaker 2: I May Destroy You. 2491 01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:50,480 Speaker 3: Of the whole season on not the latest podcast of 2492 01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:54,040 Speaker 3: the episode before that, and you know, they go into 2493 01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:55,200 Speaker 3: depth with that kind of stuff. 2494 01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:57,360 Speaker 2: I'm not really a recap person. 2495 01:58:57,520 --> 01:59:00,840 Speaker 3: I don't listen to anyone else's recaps of shit that 2496 01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:04,520 Speaker 3: That's where my arrogance and narcissism kicks in. I like 2497 01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:08,920 Speaker 3: to have my opinion on things and not even really 2498 01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:12,720 Speaker 3: be borrowed or bothered by other people's opinions because I 2499 01:59:12,880 --> 01:59:16,600 Speaker 3: feel strongly about the ship that I consume, So and I, 2500 01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:19,080 Speaker 3: and it's unfair to put that on other people, you 2501 01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:19,600 Speaker 3: know what I mean. 2502 01:59:19,720 --> 01:59:21,560 Speaker 2: I'm like, but you didn't feel exactly how I feel. 2503 01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:24,120 Speaker 2: So and y'all know. 2504 01:59:24,200 --> 01:59:27,400 Speaker 3: I'm just not a very critical by me, by which 2505 01:59:27,440 --> 01:59:30,640 Speaker 3: I mean like negative critical type of person.

So 2509 01:59:37,200 --> 01:59:39,000 Speaker 3: I just I just normally don't listen to a lot 2510 01:59:39,040 --> 01:59:40,200 Speaker 3: of recaps. 2511 01:59:39,760 --> 01:59:40,480 Speaker 2: Of TV shows. 2512 01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:42,320 Speaker 4: Most recaps I don't listen to very few. 2513 01:59:42,600 --> 01:59:42,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2514 01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:46,000 Speaker 3: But but but that being said, I've listened to some 2515 01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:48,960 Speaker 3: of Tea with Queen and Ja their recaps, and they're 2516 01:59:48,960 --> 01:59:52,560 Speaker 3: always well done.
