The video, y'all, 176 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: at this point, hasn't even been up twenty four hours. 177 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: Drewski posted this video last night at eight o'clock PM. 178 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you guys the numbers. 179 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: So a rep for Drewski tells me that this is 180 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: that not even one of his most popular videos, that 181 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: this is his most popular videos. 182 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: This video in less than twenty. 183 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: Four hours, has thirty four million views in eighteen hours. 184 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: And I'm trying to explain to you guys. A lot 185 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: of it is the discourse around the video. People were upset, 186 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: people are not upset. A big part of it, and 187 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: from what I was seeing online is there's a lot 188 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: of people who feel like you shouldn't play with the church, 189 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: that you shouldn't discuss certain things. 190 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: But I feel like. 191 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: If these things are happening in some churches, right, not 192 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 1: all because, not all because I do like at the 193 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: end of the Drew Skies video the way that the 194 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: pastor of the church is portrayed as like there's money hungry. 195 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, I rock the red bottoms, I'm driving away 196 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: in the car. I don't really care about the people. 197 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: This is all just a business. But I mean, all 198 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: of this stuff stems from somewhere, Like none of this 199 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: is made up. This stuff is really happening in some churches. 200 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: Drewski posted this video of this pastor flying down from 201 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: the ceiling. 202 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: To preach to a church. 203 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: If it's really happening, Like, why are we upset that 204 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: someone puts it together and makes it funny. One of 205 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: the things that I'll never understand about conversations about church 206 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: is the sensitivity of it. And y'all can correct me 207 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. I'm not a pastor whatsoever, but I 208 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: do attend the church shout out to seize the greatness. 209 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: My pastor would never fly in from the ceiling, just wouldn't. 210 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: But back to my point, if this is something that 211 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: is actually happening, why are we upset when people put 212 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: together and have conversations about it. I think one of 213 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: the things that really distracts people from getting to God. 214 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 2: It's not the theatrics. 215 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: It's not you know, someone sitting in the church and 216 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who's really here for God and 217 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: who's really sent by God to let people versus who's 218 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: here to be manipulative and just make money and you know, 219 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: take money and all the things. But I think it's 220 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: the judgment of like maybe some people like the theatrics. 221 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: I remember my first time. 222 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: Pulling up to a megachurch in La I had never 223 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: been to one before. All the churches I've been to 224 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: in Delaware prior to that were smaller churches, and even 225 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: if they were bigger in congregation, it just wasn't what 226 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: this was. I went to one church LA in LA 227 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: for the first time. Pastor Torrey and Sarah James Roberts 228 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: used to be the pastors there. They're now over in 229 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: Dallas at another Potterhouse church. They took over for Pastor T. D. Jakes, 230 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: who is Sarah Jakes's dad. But this is when they 231 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: were preaching there. This was some years ago, and I 232 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: remember Number one seeing metal detectors and I was like, what, 233 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: you have metal detectors at a church? 234 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,479 Speaker 2: But what blew my mind? 235 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: They have valet. They have valet, like you could valet 236 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: your car outside of the church. And I don't know 237 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: if one church is still like this, but you could 238 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: valet your car outside of the church. At this point, 239 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: I've never used the valet system there, so I don't 240 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: know if it was paid for or if it was 241 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: not paid like if you had to pay or if 242 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: you did it, or if it was just more of 243 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: like a parking like customary service. But I remember my 244 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: first day walking up, and when I saw that that 245 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: they had somebody that could park your car for you, 246 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: at that point in time, it threw me off. I 247 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: was like, is this, Like is this the church I 248 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: shouldn't be going to? And then something in me was 249 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: just like, you're in La. You know this is a 250 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: bigger church. And I had heard of the church online before, 251 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: so I'm like, you know, you never know who they're 252 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: trying to accommodate by having something like this. And also, 253 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: don't let the physical things that you might not be 254 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: used to or agree with stop you from getting to work. 255 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: That's my point, is like, if we really focus on 256 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: getting to God, just pour your own poison, pick where 257 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: you want to do it at, and focus on whatch 258 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: I got going on over there. People are always so 259 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: upset and so not upset, but people are always so 260 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: touchy about these church things as if they don't happen, 261 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: but they do, and because they do, low key it's 262 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: fair game in my opinion, right, So I go into 263 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: the church, and I love the church. I was at 264 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: one church my whole all of my eight years in La, 265 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: I was at one church, and I'm so happy that 266 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: I did not allow what was different and what I 267 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: wasn't used to stop me from getting to where I 268 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: needed to get to when it came to my relationship 269 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: with God. And once I got to know the people, 270 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: not even got to know, but once I got to 271 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: because that is a big church. It's hard to kind 272 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: of get to know the leadership and all that stuff 273 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: in a church like one church La, especially if you're 274 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: if you're new to the church. But once I was 275 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: there enough and I begin to see just the different 276 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: people that would attend the church. Right, So you have 277 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: Beyonce's mom coming on any given Sunday, and Miss Tina 278 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: be in church and she's there most of the time. 279 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: She's not there with security, just different things. I begin 280 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: to realize, like, Okay, this is not about trying to 281 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: look elite or a way to collect money. This is 282 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: about understanding who you have in your church and just 283 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: trying to make sure everybody's good and everybody's protected, which 284 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: is why there's also meta detectors, which again too that 285 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: threw me off girl when I first saw it, But 286 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: even right now in this moment looking back at that, 287 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, people run into churches and shoot them up. 288 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: Imagine if you I have the metal detector from allowing 289 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: you in the church because you're used to walking in 290 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: the churches that don't see the need for that. 291 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 2: The distraction would have been so real. I don't know. 292 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: I think the skit was funny. I think we let 293 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: it be funny and we move on. But if we 294 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: really being honest. 295 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: This stuff happens in the church. 296 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: And I've reached out to a few faith leaders who 297 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, I was unable to get someone to come 298 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: on and make a comment. I didn't know this was 299 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: so touchy, did not know, but chot out the drewski though. 300 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: I mean he accomplished what I think he set out 301 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: to do. I mean there's conversations started, the engagement is real, 302 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: and now we move on, hopefully hopefully, And now we 303 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: move on because one thing that's not gonna happen. If 304 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: somebody is corrupt and they in the church, that person 305 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: gonna be corrupt until they not. If somebody is in 306 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: church with the wrong intentions, them intentions ain't gonna change. 307 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: Hopefully God get to them, but them intentions are not 308 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: gonna change. You just got to focus on being you, 309 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: understanding what you came to that church to take out 310 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: of it. And if it's not a right fit, just leave. 311 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: If we're being honest, there is a business component to 312 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: anything that houses people, serves people, or provides any type 313 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: of product for people. I don't care if it is 314 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: a shelter. I don't care if it's a food bank 315 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: or a food shelter and a food desert, or if 316 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: it's a church. There is a business element to it. 317 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: There has to be a business element to it, because 318 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: when you're inside of that church, you got to look up, 319 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: you got lights, you got heat, you got comfortable chairs 320 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: to sit in, you know what I mean. And a 321 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: lot of times of people that are working in these 322 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: churches that are volunteering their how many churches are not 323 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: being paid. But when you do have a pastor that is, 324 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, leading your church, they are being paid. Now 325 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: the thing. And I get it, people don't want to 326 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: be manipulated. Totally understand that. And I think it's nothing 327 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: wrong with calling out people when those things are happening. 328 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: But why do can we as people act like this 329 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: stuff doesn't happen to church? Like why are we so 330 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: mad at Drew Skie. I saw somebody say that they 331 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: had to unfollow Drew ski for this skit because it 332 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: just felt demonic in their soul to watch it. So 333 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: now we don't know that there are pastors out there 334 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: that are very money hungry, that's walking in red bottoms 335 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: for all the wrong reasons. And like, y'all, this is 336 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: all real stuff, Like this is real, real things. Focus 337 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: on you and your church.

The autism Barbie also has 354 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: on really big headphones. All these things are because of 355 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: the sensory needs that go along with a person who 356 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: is living their life with autism. We also talked about 357 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: the clothing and the clothing being flowy and you know, 358 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: just different sensory things when it came to like, you know, 359 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: various fabrics and how they touch your skin and they 360 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: on your skin if you are a person dealing with 361 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: certain levels of autism as well, y'all people are upset. 362 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: They're saying, Mattel missed the mark. So we're gonna take 363 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: it to the streets, into the tweets and I'm an 364 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: tell you, guys, some of the things that the people 365 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: are saying, and I want to hear from you. 366 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: Let me know if y'all think that this is valid. 367 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: I honestly, and I said this in the episode when 368 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: we talked about this, when it originally dropped an autistic Barbie. 369 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: To me, I'm like, how do you even know that 370 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: the Barbie is autistic? And then I looked into the 371 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: accessories and I'm like, okay. And CNN did a interview 372 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: with a girl. I'm gonna find her name, and that 373 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: is what made it registered to me, Like, Okay, autism 374 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: isn't just a isn't just a Look. There are things 375 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: that accompany, you know, people who are autistic that help 376 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: their life be a bit easier, the same way that 377 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: if you had a paraplegic barbie, the barbie would be 378 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: in a wheelchair and it would be very easy to spot, 379 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: but it would also add to visibility for people who 380 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: are also a paraplegic. 381 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm gonna get to the streets. 382 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: Let's take it to the streets and the tweets, which 383 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: is our segment where we take these pop culture segments 384 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: and we look at what. 385 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: Are y'all saying, Low riders, what are y'all talking about? 386 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: You call a treat? We outside? We outside? 387 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: Okay? 388 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: Every other played drug? Okay. 389 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: So doctor Jessica Taylor, she is a Sunday Times best 390 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: selling author, a psychologist. She studies victim focused forensic psychology. 391 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: She's been seen on Netflix, various TV stations, radio, So 392 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: this is all in her bio. I don't know doctor Jessica, 393 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: doctor Jessica Taylor, but I do know that her post 394 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: about the autistic Barbie is going viral, so she says, 395 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 1: autistic Barbie by Mattel just landed. 396 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: So let's get into it. 397 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: She is thin, conventionally attractive, feminine, long, straight haired, neatly 398 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: presented Barbie proportion with the mini dress and long legs. 399 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: And what makes her out as autistic headphones, a fidget spinner, 400 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: and I quote, a vacant look in her eye, according 401 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: to Mattel, to represent that autistic people struggle with eye contact. 402 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: That's it, Doctor Jessica Taylor on XSYS, be real with me. 403 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: This is not representation of autistic lives. It's esthetic labeling. 404 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: Autism reduced to a single, sanitized visual cue that has 405 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: become popularized through social media stereotypes. Headphones function as a 406 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: shorthand for sensory sensitivity, which is then flattened into autism. 407 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: This is branding and commodification of autism. Autism is where 408 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: you have headphones on and a vacant look in your eye. 409 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: I mean, are we being serious? Nothing about this die 410 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: reflects the material realities of autistic people's lives. There is 411 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: no engagement with power, exclusion, or harm. Autism is treated 412 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: as something you accessorize, not something that's shaped to how 413 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: you are treated by schools, employers' healthcare systems, families, friends, partners, police, court, police, 414 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: court's prisons, or the state. But forget about all that 415 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: look pretty, get your legs out and play with your 416 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: fidget spinners. 417 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 2: This my new article. Then she posts an article that 418 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: she did on this. 419 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I can like, I hear her, but like, now, 420 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: let me go to the CNN article because because I 421 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: hear her, but I also don't. I do think that 422 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: there are people who, you know, use these certain accessories 423 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: to make their walk through life every single day a 424 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: bit better. And the only reason I'm saying this I 425 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't have anyone close to me who 426 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: suffers from autism. But I read this article when I 427 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: was preparing for this segment the other day, and because 428 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: I also didn't understand it, I was like, why would 429 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: you create an autism Barbie, Like, how do you physically 430 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: show autism? Because I know it's in mannerisms, it's in 431 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: it's in so many different ways that you know you 432 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: can pick up on a person's like autism, and when 433 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: you're seeing them, when you're talking to them, when you're 434 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: experiencing them, and there's various different things that people like. 435 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: She said that people other you by when you are 436 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: an autistic person. It's not just your physical dress or 437 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: the things that you carry along with you. 438 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: Right. 439 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: So in this article, by seeing in there's a young 440 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: black girl and her mom that they focus on. And 441 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: this girl, her name is Miko. She is five years old. 442 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: So this scene in an article says five year old 443 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: Miko's eyes light up with glee when she noticed something 444 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: familiar about her Barbie. The doll held a fidget spinner 445 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: and wore oversized headphones just like hers. The moment was 446 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: almost magical, said Miko's mother, Precious Heel, who's based in 447 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. 448 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: Then they go in. 449 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: They go forward to say Miko, who is nonverbal, also 450 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: uses an AAC device, which is the tablet device that 451 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: the autism Barbie also comes with, which helps people who 452 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: have speech or language problems communicate. Autism is such an 453 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: invisible disability at times. And to see that it's being 454 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: represented through Barbie. Everybody knows who Barbie is, it felt 455 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: really good. Hail says, it's Miko's mom. It's really important 456 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: to me that Miko walks through life having representation. It 457 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: really matters to me that she is not alone. 458 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: So I mean, I. 459 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: Some outrage, y'all, is just why it's very selective, Like 460 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't understand the point in being upset about something 461 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: if there are other people who will likely agree that 462 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: this thing deserves to be in the world. 463 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: That is the whole. That's the through line of this 464 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 2: whole episode with drewski skit. 465 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: Be mad all, y'all want to Let's not get away 466 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: from the fact that everything that he called out in 467 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: that skit, either we've actually seen it over the last 468 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: couple of years and it's went viral. You've experienced yourself 469 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: in church or you know, so blink if you know 470 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: someone who knows someone okay, like church people themselves will 471 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: tell you there are people in churches who are not 472 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: good people. There are church experiences in church, you know, 473 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: infrastructures that are set up that are not good things. 474 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 2: It is real. 475 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: The church is a physical place where you come to 476 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: get close to its spiritual being or beings, God, Jesus, 477 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: that whole, you know, the Trinity, the God, God, the Father, 478 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: the Son period.
