WEBVTT - Kwanzaa Is On The Come Up! (with Al Jackson)

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that like ballroom dancers are wearing those

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and they're dancing backwards and for in high heels. That's

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:10.399
<v Speaker 1>a banana gram thought.

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:11.559
<v Speaker 2>It's nuts.

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Women are strong. I've always said it. You have always

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 3>said that. I've always said, I've argued with you a

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 3>few times. You've always said it said. I've said let

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 3>them loose. I say, don't lower the rim, put them

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 3>in heels and raise it up.

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I think they haven't tapped into their true potential. They're like,

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 2>go h, they just need the right trigger.

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 4>Get them super Saiyans. Bears are racist.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 5>The money.

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Turning stuff can't tell me.

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Last Christmas, I gave you my heart and the very next.

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Day you gave it away.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 2>There it is. There it is, Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome,

<v Speaker 2>My Mama Told Me.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 3>The podcast where we dive deep into the pockets of

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 3>black conspiracy.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Theory and we finally worked to prove that the BPM,

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 2>the beats per minute of the Cupid shovel are engineered

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>at a specific frequency that is meant to enter the

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>black brain and create order in the black community. Casper

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.840

<v Speaker 3>Kangle, who I am always inclined to listen to.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 2>He was a real He dressed I think through the

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>whole of his life like we dressed during that era

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 2>where people got dressed up in the club.

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh the sweater veg.

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he would like keep a blazer and a cago on,

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>but jeans.

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Can I say this is embarrassing? I was maybe the

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 3>brokest I had been in my adult life at that point.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.639
<v Speaker 3>I did not participate in the business casual in the club.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 2>You know what, history is gonna shine nicely on you

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 2>because of that. Oh that's the good way you look

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 2>at it, you know what I mean? Like I did,

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I was wearing bow ties. Oh, you seem like I

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>was in a bad waddy. I was buying clothes and

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.399
<v Speaker 2>being like because I was a teacher at the gyme. Yeah,

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 2>it was like I could wear these to school into

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the club, and that's a bad situation.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 3>That's never if that age, if you're wearing your work

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 3>close out, it's a problem, dude.

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 2>It was how I designed it, oh.

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 3>Man, because I'm not gonna lie, like there weren't a

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 3>couple of days I left Target, just took the name

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 3>tag off to a party.

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't love it.

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't love it, but like, yeah, that's never a

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 3>good situation.

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You guys got the factor the dress code in Remember,

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it was a different dress that's sure. That's sure, especially

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>at black clubs, direct response to like the Saggy Jean's

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>big T shirt era jackets. Yeah, where everybody looked like

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>a runner and the wire. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of clubs pushed back on that with

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>their no hats with logos on on that kind of

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>like coded language.

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 3>It was.

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>It was a strict dress code at the time.

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>And now I think most places are pretty like if

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>you look good, you can come in. But but there

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>was a strict dress code where it was like you

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>cannot have on anything that even resembles clothes that we

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>consider like ethnic urban whatever the fuck it is the

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>rubber shoes.

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 3>Sold shoes used to piss me off. It was crazy

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 3>because that's like, of all the things that I'm not

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 3>gonna get hard, sold shoes is the one that I'm

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 3>not gonna bro.

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 2>We all had on flat bottoms.

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy, crazy, Yeah, but I knew cast that had

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a backup pair of like nicer khakis, nicer shoes in case,

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>because it would ruin your night if fo The homies

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>A fashion argument with the bouncer, like you're not getting that.

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 5>You mean that dude in a black T shirt? Yeah, Yeah,

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.279

0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 5>but this is the best.

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.680

<v Speaker 3>When you said I had a beanie, I was like, okay,

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 3>and then it was like smaller than I'm used to.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, No, it's not you didn't do anything. This

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 3>was like because of the Santa. We had a whole

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.240

<v Speaker 2>I just he's surely been a victim.

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Staring at the beanie because because you can't tell how

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>big they are, and then you go to tug down

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and pull it down over your ears and it gets

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>no give, and you're like, I gotta commit to this.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.120

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>in South Florida and Miami, and it was a different

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>world for stand up in that like doing black rooms

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>early in your career when you weren't good anyway. They

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you would just walk into a nightclub Thursday, it's ladies' night.

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>No one knows their stand up, no one knows, and

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>then they just stopped the music, trick daddy going that's it. Hey,

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>we got some comedians here, and just the intros would

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.360

<v Speaker 2>me talk. Yeah, then freshest seeing this with like, look,

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:06.160

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>me that he's here. But we got to be respectful.

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 3>Also, there's no joke I can tell that's better than

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:14.560

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>But you were there when the trick Daddy rained Supreme.

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 3>That seems like one of the eras of the world.

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.719
<v Speaker 1>It was just it was the last, I feel like,

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>period of time where the world was like the wild

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>wild West. Like the apartment complex I was in was

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a place where those people don't exist anymore because now

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 1>those people have been fired and like going and now

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>they've been replaced with twenty seven year olds that are

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>serious about their career. Maintenance men smoking blunts walking down

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the hallway. You go down to the office because your

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>sink isn't working, and the woman just tells you, well,

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck do you want me to do about that?

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>To your face, like there's no Yeah, I mean just

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was a wild time in life, you know,

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think it was. It was good for me.

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>And I wonder if there's like a part of everybody

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't alive and kind of an adult at that

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>period that is trying to get back to just a

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>look worth not even It's so, you know, you're even

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're in Vegas, your wife is like, why are

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>you still at the ARI? I'm looking at your location.

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like it's hard to just Vegas used

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to be just a place where you could just go

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and be a dirt bag coke booze strippers and then

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>come back and assume your normal life again and just

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>like have that outlet.

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 2>There is no there's no dirtbag release. There's no what

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>happens in anywhere, you know what I mean. Like it

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it's everything is documented and if it isn't documented, it

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 2>could be documented. And in that way it forces people

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 2>to never release fully into like oh I'm just a scum,

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm just scummed for a little while.

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Now, the problem is they funnel it into YouTube comments, yeah,

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, and like places on the

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Internet where it doesn't feel good to release, you know

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 3>what I mean. But it's like, if you could just

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 3>go to Vegas once a year, kill a prostitute with

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.199
<v Speaker 3>your boys, maybe you don't have to be so mean

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 3>to these female comedians on YouTube.

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what's missing is a dead sex worker.

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 3>That's obviously going crazy. But I do, I do, I

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 3>do think that that, like maybe you need to be

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 3>able to go out and get nuts. Like I went

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 3>to New Orleans just recently and it was just not

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 3>it's just the tone of it feels like it shifted

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. Even on Bourbon Street really yeah.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, or they're just people taking video of themselves. I

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like there's a there needs to be a place

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>where you know that you're not gonna be videoed. And

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that's even at strip clubs. Even when who was at

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>John Moran out here in Denver, Oh yeah, he had

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>he had the strap with him at the strip club.

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Not great, but that's not our business, no, and it

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>affected his career. And it's just like athletes can't go

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.079
<v Speaker 1>to the strip club. You're twenty two, you know.

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 3>Twenty two and I make millions of dollars and I

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 3>can't party with the naked woman and a gun.

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>And those strippers weren't scared, no, you know what I mean,

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Like whatever whatever he was doing with that gun, and again,

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 2>not not my version of a great time. But like,

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 2>whatever he was doing, he made it clear with everybody

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 2>around him, this is okay.

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 3>No, they could they thought in sorry sources say they

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 3>thought he was being corny. They weren't like, yeah, he's

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 3>gonna shoot us. No, it was like, why are him

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 3>and his boys all hanging out with their shirts off

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 3>not talking to us?

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're next to a target.

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, that's the thing, bro. People need to know

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 3>that about that is that it is next to a target. WHOA,

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 3>here's a parking lot, what's a target?

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Whoa?

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 3>And a yes, anything you need on that block, which

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 3>is pretty cool. But yeah, it wasn't like yeah.

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's a it's a greater problem where just

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 1>like I think that I was able to, like when

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I decided to stop drinking, chill out and just be

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a normal person, I got all that out of me.

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.959
<v Speaker 1>And it was a lot in there. It was a lot.

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I was a wild dude, and now I'm just like

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to be there. I'm good. I know

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>they having fun, but like I've seen it kind of

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.199
<v Speaker 1>manifest some of my friends my age, I'm forty seven,

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>where they did the right thing straight through college, straight

0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>through graduate school, got the job, housewife, perfect life, and

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>they're like, do you want to go to a beach

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>party in Vake. No, they're twenty six year olds, Like

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you look like a silent partner here. Yeah, they'll look

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 1>like you should be mixing it up, but they're still

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to get their their twenty seven year old selves back.

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, I'm glad I got that out.

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I feel closer probably to what they were in that

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that I got like all my rocks

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 2>off before I got married and settled into a life,

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 2>and I do know now more than ever that like, oh,

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm just never going to have it, Like there's no

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 2>version where I get to go party on the beach

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 2>with a bunch of bad bitches and pretend like that's

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>my life again.

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Right, it just isn't, you.

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Know what I mean.

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 2>And that's cool. Like I love my family, I love

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the life that I built. But you just have to

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 2>settle into the fact that, like them days, them days

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 2>were available, you didn't access them quite as much as

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.839
<v Speaker 2>you should have. And you'll live with that, you know

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. You'll have to say in different ways,

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 2>but it ain't happening with the bad bitches on the beach.

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 3>I was just gonna say, do you think you want

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 3>it more in theory than you do in practice? But

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 3>that's just saying, of course you want it in practice.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you do. I don't know it

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 2>one day like a day.

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean in theory, but I think in the

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>fantasies that we all have about like whatever scenario that

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to paint, whether it's you and six models

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>in a penthouse wherever I was. I did this old

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 1>school hip hop show and they're playing jay Z and

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>he at that line, I got six model chicks, six

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 1>bottles of Chris and I was thinking, like the owl

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>now would hate to be at the bar with six

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 1>models and like just trying to like wrangle him to

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 1>go and be like, yo, where she put her card down,

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 1>My card is down? She did know they you paid yours.

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I would be so frustrat because I'm old now. But

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>like I did that and now you want to go

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to Yeah. And I wonder if dudes, when they do

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>their fantasy, take their personality into that fantasy.

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I think that's often the problem, right is, And it's

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 2>something I think I was aware of even at a

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 2>younger age was like I would watch the dudes who

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>were really like saucing with women and really like going

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 2>crazy out there, and I watched how they talk to

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 2>people and how they like moved with people, and I

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>knew I didn't have that in me.

0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 3>That is you will learn that first time you go

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 3>to a night club and you're like, oh, that's not

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 3>what I'm doing.

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 2>And that's the problem. It's not that I didn't want

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 2>to do it, Yeah, you know what I mean, I

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 2>just didn't have it. No, And I knew even now, like,

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 2>even with my resources and whatever, I'm gonna be around

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 2>six batties and I'm not gonna talk to him like

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 2>a man that gets six batties.

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 3>You're trying to interject stand up comedy into the commerce.

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna fuck around and bring up

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 2>attack on Titan, and then it's ruined.

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 3>That's true. That's true because I have had myself in

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 3>bad bitch situations where I was not converting very nerves,

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 3>and then that feels even worse than the idea. That's

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 3>why it happened is a bad feeling, that's a low

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 3>where you're like I got the I got in if

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 3>you didn't go, you can sleep.

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 2>If you went and you bombed, you awake, you feel

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 2>that that's a tough night, damn.

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>But also their personalities might not Like we could hang

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 1>out in any scenario, and I feel like it would

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>be funny serious at some points, but just like interactive

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>because of the way are the way we talk to

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>each other. But a model, for the most part is

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>probably not used to comedic banter. And and that's not

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>a shot against models, but the people that they interact

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 1>with are people with yachts and the people that are

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>short with them, like be ready at nine the chap

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 1>will pick you up on the roof and she's like, okay,

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>they're not ready for like David's witty banter to be.

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Funny for the back end of the night. When you

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 3>find out I'm sad.

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>You think you first meant to cry in front of me,

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm fair.

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're glad you've changed your ways. We're glad you're

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 2>here with us today. On our most Christian episode, I

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:26.679
<v Speaker 2>would say, yeah, Christmas, it's our holiday episode. We're excited

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.719
<v Speaker 2>to have you here. Al And you came to us

0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 2>with a conspiracy. You came to us with I would

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 2>say a denser conspiracy than we're going to articulate it

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 2>as but we're excited to hear you fully unpack this thing.

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.520
<v Speaker 2>It's it's it's I think gonna evolve as you explain it.

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:49.679
<v Speaker 2>But you basically said, my mama told me Quanza is

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 2>on the come up. Yes, tell us everything you.

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>My relationship up with Kwansa has been slight to non

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 1>existent most of my life. My mom was a very

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>progressive black woman, like I always said, like she she

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 1>had us eating kinoa like in eighty when no one

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 1>knew like health food store, Like same kind of store

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.199
<v Speaker 1>that has like carrot juice, you know, like one of

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>them co ops. Were you like, why it smells weird?

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 1>It smells like raw vegetables, radishes.

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Why do I have to go to the bad Yeah?

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, It's like my mom was on that grinding

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 1>her own coffee bean. She's like when everybody's going like

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.639
<v Speaker 1>yuppie big cell phone. My mom was just very like

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of progressive, and so she introduced kwanza. But like introducing

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Kwanza in nineteen eighty six to a couple of black

0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 1>kids in Cleveland, it's like, wait, one gift and no

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>one knows what I'm talking about. I don't know how

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.120
<v Speaker 1>to say it, and I won't say it like it Kwanza.

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>There was no place, there was no fertile ground for

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 1>it to grow. But as I look at my kids,

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.120
<v Speaker 1>who are I can't barely call them kids anymore seventeen,

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.959
<v Speaker 1>sixteen to ten, and how they react to not only Christmas,

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>but Halloween Thanksgiving to a lesser extent. Kids don't care

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 1>about their Halloween candy. They don't care about Christmas. Because

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>before the Internet, if you wanted something, you throw hints

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>all year, I want this, I want this dirt mini

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 1>dirt bike, and you say January, March, November, throwing it

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 1>out to Santa. Now you could just get it. And

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.119
<v Speaker 1>so the immediacy my kids get up on Christmas morning

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 1>like a hungover dad, like that'd be off like nine,

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 1>like we were up at four third getting yell, go

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 1>back to bed, parents and wrapping gifts down there, you know.

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>So the idea of Christmas and the immediacy of the

0:19:55.800 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>excitement of what they got is gone. It does not exist. Interesting,

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 1>And I look at these kids now, and that just

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 1>on this own is very creepy. But I look at

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>these like girls. My dumb. I look at.

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 2>These kids there they like.

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 1>But no, it's like they are incredibly emotionally articulate. My

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 1>daughter and her friends and the way they talk to

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 1>each other and they're like something, we'll just get on

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.879
<v Speaker 1>a zoom call and we'll give each other positive affirmations.

0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:33.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, what, bro, how old is she seventeen? But

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I know twenty years older. I want my friends to

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:36.679
<v Speaker 3>do that.

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine? Just like, let me be let me

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>just call it Dave, just be like, you were really

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>good today.

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Brothers, you're doing great.

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 1>You're inspired, and a lot of people coordinated. We are

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.399
<v Speaker 1>all calling at the same time on purpose. And my

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>greater point to that is that they are a lot

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:56.639
<v Speaker 1>more they're they're going to be a lot less interested

0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 1>in celebrating a holiday like Christmas where there's not a

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of unless it's a very religious thing for you,

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.159
<v Speaker 1>it's really just seen as like a gift giving and

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 1>taking things. Yeah, Kwanza I found out happens after the

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 1>day after Christmas, so it's the twenty six to New Year,

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>so it's that dead week, so it's there's there's territory there.

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.239
<v Speaker 1>It's one thing a day, one days like unity. One

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.919
<v Speaker 1>day's like togetherness, and it's about like it's the kind

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of stuff that I would I wouldn't have even known

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 1>what you were talking about had you suggested that, but

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I could see my daughters and also TikTokers getting this

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.639
<v Speaker 1>big and being like today for unity blah blah blah.

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 1>You get a couple of big people on that and Kwanza.

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, Christmas is there to be nice is wobbly.

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.919
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying, if I'm hearing you correctly, you're not

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:50.520
<v Speaker 2>necessarily tracking it rising. Yet you're on some like future

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 2>stock shit. Yeah, this is this is investing in in

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 2>pork belly for you. Yeah, like it also.

0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Charting the drop of right, you think Christmas is on

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the decline, not on the decline. I think what we've

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>seen is that, for whatever lies we want to tell ourselves,

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:16.439
<v Speaker 1>most of these holidays are for adults. Like Halloween. Yeah,

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 1>we say trick or treating, but them kids are in

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the house by dusk. Ain't no late night trick or treating.

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.199
<v Speaker 1>And if there is, it's out in the suburbs. I

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.200
<v Speaker 1>live in Denver, in a house in a nice, safe neighborhood,

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I've been there, saying, right for COVID

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.719
<v Speaker 1>like four or five years. I don't think I've ever

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>gotten a trick or treater. Houses are close to each other.

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>It's it was a neighborhood that's like built for you

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 1>can hit ten houses. Yeah, but like now everybody throws

0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>they kids in the car and they go out to

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:52.119
<v Speaker 1>the suburbs because the suburbs can block off like the street,

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and then everybody pops their garages and it's kind of

0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>like a dick measuring contest between how is like, yeah,

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you're giving out candy, but they got music in their

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 1>wife's got her tits out.

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, over here giving out scholarship.

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:13.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like a chance for closeted extroverts to

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>act like, oh, I'm just sexy Sherlock Holmes. It's like,

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, you know what I'm saying. You just wanted

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>to put on some fish nets at being public because

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that's when you are internally. So I feel like Halloween

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>parties are big. Halloween last like three four or five days.

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I saw people in November going to Halloween.

0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 2>So we were on tour, yeah, and we're in We

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:40.400
<v Speaker 2>were in Atlanta on Halloween and mostly performing for old

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.400
<v Speaker 2>black ladies who were not participating in.

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Halloween, not having a great time. They were not there

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 3>for it at all. But we then toured.

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:52.640
<v Speaker 2>We had like four days basically, and went to Austin,

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 2>like three days later. In Austin, three days after Halloween

0:23:57.320 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>was still celebrating. Halloween was still Sixth Street was blocked off.

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Everybody had on a costume, and it was it felt

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.119
<v Speaker 2>very adult in that way and where it had nothing

0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 2>to do with children and trick or treating. This was

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 2>grown ups in nasty clothes wearing their shit.

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that's how I think about it. I do

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.880
<v Speaker 3>think about it as it's Halloween's for phone parties or whatever.

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean.

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 3>You don't think about the kids, not at all, and

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I do think I used to see more kids.

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I used to see more kids. I mean,

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 3>you don't see kids out the house in general anymore,

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.679
<v Speaker 3>but I used to see more. Like even within my neighborhood,

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 3>it's like like yours, like clauses close together set up

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 3>for trick or treating. Hardly anybody had any any kind

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 3>of like lawn ornaments, any kind of lights there just

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 3>really wasn't a lot.

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Of It took all that when we were kids. And

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in a suburb of Chicago, but when

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.919
<v Speaker 2>we were kids, it felt like we were terrorizing people's homes,

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>where like the doorbell ever stopped ringing, Like if you

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 2>shut your door, you were getting ring ring ring all

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 2>night long. And now even at my house, like and

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I live in a pretty like walkable, very nice, pleasant

0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:16.480
<v Speaker 2>neighbors houses around, and like we get some trick or treaters,

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:18.879
<v Speaker 2>but they don't bother us, Like if we turn the

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:22.640
<v Speaker 2>porch light off, it's over. Like everybody's very like aware

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and respectful of the holiday. And so I to circle

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:30.400
<v Speaker 2>this back to Christmas. If it sounds like I'm understanding

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:34.640
<v Speaker 2>you correctly, It's less that Christmas is disappearing, but more

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 2>that we value it differently than we did as children.

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, and only the people that like the kind of

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:44.400
<v Speaker 1>religious people to go to go to church on Christmas

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Eve or go to church Christmas Day or something like that.

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.159
<v Speaker 1>It really is almost like Thanksgiving. It's a holiday for

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 1>older folks, football and food. That's great for me. I'm

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:57.440
<v Speaker 1>damn near fifty, but like my son don't care about football.

0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Six things so like he's like, I don't eat that much,

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Like Thanksgiving isn't a big deal to him, And there's

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:08.959
<v Speaker 1>a space for Kwanza and just any other kind of

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 1>like like holidays kind of go up and down, and

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:15.639
<v Speaker 1>like I feel like there's just going to be adult

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 1>holidays because Halloween, I think it's almost fully adult, but

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 1>just like you need the kids for the for the

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 1>beard of it, but really a lot there's gonna be

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a younger generation that takes like a kind of fringe holiday,

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>dust it off and makes it their own.

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 2>I love the idea of the executives at Big Kwanza rubbing.

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 2>They're rubbing their hands together.

0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:40.680
<v Speaker 3>We hear a big Quansa in Detroit.

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, are you tired of Santa Claus dancing in the

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 2>back of your videos? Come on over here to Big Kwanza.

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.440
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing. And then we're gonna have to watch

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the commodification of Quansa, which is gonna be the most

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 1>American thing you can do. Is like all these things

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that you think are so underground as we look at

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 1>like Snoop selling us, you know, fire pits outside.

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 3>We got we got some of that Snoop whine on Thanksgiving.

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, wine is just like I mean, all these things

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 1>that were underground, now they're gonna be used to market

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to you.

0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 2>We were talking about this before you got here, but

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about how quickly Juneteenth got you served

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 2>as now a just general national holiday that everybody gets

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:46.919
<v Speaker 2>the day off for nobody. Yet you ain't gotta pray,

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 2>you ain't gotta to go thank your black neighbor, nothing.

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just you get the day off and you ain't

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 2>gotta talk about it. And it happened so fast because

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 2>four years ago even I don't think I knew any

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 2>white people who even would.

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't even it was It wasn't up for discussion.

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 3>It never came up, no like, and then they found

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 3>about out about that ship, and then white ladies got

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.439
<v Speaker 3>an Instagram filter and it was gone.

0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 2>And I don't I mean, I'm not from the South,

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:16.400
<v Speaker 2>y'all ain't from the South. It wasn't a thing for

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:18.640
<v Speaker 2>me growing up, not at all, you know what I mean.

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Like even in black households, it's not like everybody celebrated June.

0:28:22.280 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Team you would get a calendar and it'd be like

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:27.399
<v Speaker 1>Juneteenth was in the same genre as like, you know,

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 1>like there'll be a day that's like Winter Soul System. Yeah,

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:32.960
<v Speaker 1>is that you know what I'm saying?

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah day?

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, they have to they like that a law

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>has been passed. They have to alert you that that's

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a but it wasn't a thing. And then, like you said,

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere, it's just like you don't celebrate Junie.

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>You don't think we should. I don't think most Americans

0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>even to say, know exactly what it is. No, they

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 1>probably heard it once, but just like you know, people

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 1>are just coming around MLK Day.

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And that's also a fascinating thing because I didn't realize,

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and this is my own ignorance. I didn't realize how

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 2>recently MLK Day was a day. You know what I

0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 2>mean that, I don't know how recently it is mokday.

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:15.640
<v Speaker 2>They were fighting against it during the fucking I think

0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 2>bush it, yeah.

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Straight, Arizona, Arizona wouldn't like because, uh, what's it called

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the Public Enemy had a song basically about it by

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the time I get ar Yeah, yeah, yeah, and uh

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:29.960
<v Speaker 1>it was just like people would not they would not

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>take the day off just out of like clear defiance

0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 1>of just like fuck that dude.

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 2>It like didn't get declared a national holiday until like

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 2>pretty recently.

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy. I guess we are. We're at least of

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 3>the age where it's like, that's right when we would

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 3>have been little kids enough to not know because I

0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 3>always recall it, but I always remember it.

0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 2>But damn, that's cool blooded yeah man, But to that point,

0:29:55.680 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Juneteenth is now it seems ubiquitous, ye, with like the

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 2>American holiday experience, and then the same feels like it

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 2>will happen to Kwanza should it get this this ineviten.

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 1>It'll be a clear dividing line between the generations. I think, like,

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll be a younger person thing, and eventually

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 1>they will be older, but for a while it will

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:24.000
<v Speaker 1>be like twenty four year old students at NYU consciously

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>celebrate it and it gets some kind of you know,

0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:30.880
<v Speaker 1>traction on the Internet from it. But like your uncle

0:30:30.920 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 1>will be like, what now, it.

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't make sense. I see what you're saying. It's right

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 3>for like, it's the perfect small cause for an internet

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 3>asshole to take up, right, Like that's the perfect thing.

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's heard of it, but it's still niche enough that

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 3>you you could be interesting by doing it's a perfect

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 3>way to pretend you're interesting.

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what I'm saying. It reminds me a little bit.

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 2>I've been watching the Menindez brothers shit, Like, you know,

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 2>they had the show and then they had the documentary

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and they both came out sort of in tandem. But

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 2>part of the reason that the Menendez brothers are now

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:10.800
<v Speaker 2>getting like this new trial, or at least this new

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 2>assessment of their sentencing, was in part because a bunch

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 2>of TikTok kids started unpacking their story and going like, hey,

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 2>it's fucked up that we didn't address all the sexual

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 2>assault stuff that happened in their family. That like, they

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>claimed that they were brutally brutally assaulted by this father

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 2>and the mother to some extent, and that was the

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 2>cause for them needing to kill their parents, and they

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 2>in the trial it gets treated a lot more like

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 2>y'all are just bad boys. You did a bad thing.

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 2>You're going to jail for the rest of your life.

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 2>And that all happened on TikTok. And so the question

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:51.200
<v Speaker 2>of a person on TikTok being like, we got to

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>reassess Kwanza. It feels very in the wheelhouse of some

0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 2>TikTok shit.

0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 3>I also feel like Christmas is right for a takedown

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 3>just because of blame it on Jeff Bezos. Kids get

0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 3>too many packages. They're not as excited about presidents. Yeah,

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:06.840
<v Speaker 3>think about it. When you were a kid, how many

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 3>packages you got?

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Very rare.

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 3>I got a package I went it was the most.

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 3>It was as exciting as Christmas. My mom's saying, David,

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 3>you got something in the mail that was not it

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 3>was It's the same as Christmas. It was the same exactly.

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>You've been thinking about it for weeks when you sent

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 1>away for some of the six to eight weeks. Every

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:25.880
<v Speaker 1>day at school you'd be like, man, is that is

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 1>that gonna be at home? And then when it is,

0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 1>it was trash.

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Whatever it was, it was trash. Nothing damn.

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 2>That's quick, beanie, nothing I could afford.

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 3>In the east Bay magazine, where's that documentary? Netflix?

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, east By went through it. They had a high

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>high and a low low.

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 1>That was that was. You know, there's always this narrative

0:32:53.440 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>that like women be shopping, but like guys looked at

0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:01.040
<v Speaker 1>that catalog in the exact same way that my grandmother

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>would look at a sex with avenue catalog and be like,

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get that. Look at my grandm would be like,

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>look at those Isotona gloves, and we'd be like, look

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:12.080
<v Speaker 1>at those shorts. You could customize all. We could go

0:33:12.120 --> 0:33:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to the court with the same color shorts. It was

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like the same thing, got all.

0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 3>The colors of shocks, every shock.

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 2>The amount of times me and my boys sat in

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 2>a bed feet up just slipping through East Bay talking

0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 2>about the shoes we were never gonna have, bro, it's

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 2>the the hours that I wasted.

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:35.160
<v Speaker 3>I used to look at east By like a real

0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 3>magazine where I'd be like, oh, I haven't seen this one.

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:40.480
<v Speaker 2>It meant the world to me.

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 3>You're planning outfits, planning full East Bay outfit.

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Did you order anything from there?

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Never one time I think I got some Team Jordans once,

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 2>like it talks my dad into getting me some Team

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Jordans out of the again Team Jordans that ain't Jordans.

0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 1>That that's the polo club of Yeah, yeah it was.

0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 4>It was.

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 2>I should be fair to myself. It was also early

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 2>in the Team Jordan era where we didn't quite understand

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:09.280
<v Speaker 2>they had they.

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Were relevant for a minute where it was okay they

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:14.000
<v Speaker 3>had a moment where you didn't quite know that those

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:16.000
<v Speaker 3>weren't going to be treated like real Jordan's.

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 2>It felt like like twelve and a halfs and you

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:21.600
<v Speaker 2>were like a school, we got them twelve and a

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:24.600
<v Speaker 2>half whatever, And now we all know that. Yeah it's

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:26.400
<v Speaker 2>it's the US Polo Association.

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh that's what it is. That sounds like like

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the minor leagues.

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it was a bad but I got some of those.

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:36.359
<v Speaker 2>But truly everything else was just a dream that I

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:37.280
<v Speaker 2>was selling myself.

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 3>I would have myself fitted before football season with that.

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 3>That East Bavi came out right before school started. Of

0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:47.720
<v Speaker 3>course I had the gloves circle, I had the cleat circle.

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Never got any of it, but man, I was ready.

0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I ordered two things. I ordered this thing called the

0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Aci rim. I used to play hoop, and it was

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 1>like a rim that you put on on the inside

0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>like it was what an own person would ship in.

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:06.480
<v Speaker 1>And that ship gets your jumper so nice because you

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.359
<v Speaker 1>it has to be not only just a swish, but

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 1>it puts. You had to put arc on it. So

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>when you practice a couple of summers with that, bro,

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 1>my my jumper was worked. Bro. It worked.

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 2>You're the first person I've ever heard who bought like

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:25.880
<v Speaker 2>a basketball tea that was like, Noah, this should worked.

0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Did your dream of just having a rebounder like all

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:31.640
<v Speaker 1>time rebound? No, but just a person I used to

0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:34.080
<v Speaker 1>think of, like this imaginary guy that would just like rebound,

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Like how many more shots I could get up? If

0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you're doing.

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:41.800
<v Speaker 3>You was a Lobe child.

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, shooting jumpers is the day giveaway.

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:48.319
<v Speaker 3>Your least told me. The second thing you got was

0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:50.919
<v Speaker 3>those pliometric shoes. That's the ones I wanted so bad.

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:54.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's exactly what I'm about to tell you. Yes,

0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 1>they were called strength shoes. I used to be able

0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:59.479
<v Speaker 1>to dunk with two hands. I rupture my achilles tendon.

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But it absolutely they absolutely worked.

0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh that fucks me up. Yes, because I remember, like

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:12.440
<v Speaker 3>your parents are like this is ridiculous. There's no special

0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 3>sneakers you're gonna wear. But like I remember looking at

0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 3>and being like, this technology makes sense.

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 2>You're on your tiptop.

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>This technology makes sense. It really really worked. I obviously

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 1>my kids one of the best days of my life.

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.279
<v Speaker 1>I've had some good highlights in my life. I threw

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 1>down a dunk at my boy Donnie's house in his driveway.

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:35.759
<v Speaker 1>I still remember that. That's probably thirty years ago.

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 3>No, but that's this is one of the best days

0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:39.040
<v Speaker 3>of my life hearing about it.

0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Dude, it was you know who had crazy hops? Is

0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Craig Robinson? What he came to our show because he's

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:48.719
<v Speaker 1>doing the show in deference, so he came on our

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:52.800
<v Speaker 1>set and I don't know why we were talking about basketball.

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:56.400
<v Speaker 1>We had the clip ready it was him no comic

0:36:56.440 --> 0:36:57.879
<v Speaker 1>shoes of the hack joke, but it was him two

0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:01.879
<v Speaker 1>hundred pounds ago. But I mean like crazy like threw

0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:06.680
<v Speaker 1>down like uh Darryl Dawkins dunk like what it bruh.

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Craig Robinson was a baller, like you know what.

0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I could see that because he's bigger than you think

0:37:15.080 --> 0:37:18.440
<v Speaker 2>he is, right like he's like he's like secretly like

0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:22.439
<v Speaker 2>almost six three six four I think. And then he

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 2>also is like one of them dudes that like had

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 2>a whole life before he got to comedy.

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Another teacher like us.

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was a teacher. He was a musician. He

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:34.959
<v Speaker 2>did a lot of shit. And I think those kinds

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.760
<v Speaker 2>of guys they always you got one in your pocket

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 2>where you're just like, yeah, I used to play ball, yeah,

0:37:40.160 --> 0:37:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I used to dunk all motherfuckers. I don't do that

0:37:42.080 --> 0:37:43.879
<v Speaker 2>no more. Capefully, those sneakers worked.

0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, I'm just like they convinced one birthday, dude.

0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 1>They looked ridiculous and you looked great. They were like

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:57.400
<v Speaker 1>snow shoes in the city. They were like it was

0:37:57.440 --> 0:38:00.719
<v Speaker 1>like a wider platform and then the shoe was on top. Right,

0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:02.680
<v Speaker 1>it was like a trophy of a shoe.

0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:07.400
<v Speaker 2>It was like you were walking around like a gi joe,

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like you're truly just sitting

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:13.399
<v Speaker 2>on top of fucking g I Joe platform. Yes, and

0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:16.279
<v Speaker 2>that you just kept you on your tiptoes all day.

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean you do see women, I don't know as

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:22.880
<v Speaker 1>much as you used to when it was like almost

0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:26.200
<v Speaker 1>unacceptable for women to be out without wearing high heels.

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:29.719
<v Speaker 1>But when when you think, and I've talked to a

0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:31.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of my female friends because I just took it

0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:33.279
<v Speaker 1>for granted, like, oh, they throw heels on, they go

0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 1>out to party, think about being on your toes, leaving

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the house, going up and downstairs, dancing back on your toes,

0:38:43.120 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you see it like some chicks would have

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:48.720
<v Speaker 1>like crazy calves. You'm like, gosh, it's like it makes sense,

0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 1>it gets your leg game right.

0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 2>For Sam show, we we we all put on high

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 2>heels to like tryumph because that was like part of

0:38:57.080 --> 0:39:02.360
<v Speaker 2>a bid of an episode. Whatever. I walked probably ten feet.

0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:04.279
<v Speaker 2>It was like, I don't want I can't do this

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:04.680
<v Speaker 2>no more.

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. It's just like, man, it's crazy when you

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.239
<v Speaker 1>think about it, like that is something I have thought

0:39:11.239 --> 0:39:14.600
<v Speaker 1>about though, that we are in an era that speaking

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of East Bay, that we would have never thought about

0:39:16.760 --> 0:39:20.759
<v Speaker 1>in terms of sports where women's basketball, pro and college.

0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I've talked to homies and been like, yo, the

0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Iowa games going on, hits you back, and they're talking

0:39:24.719 --> 0:39:28.319
<v Speaker 1>about women's college basketball. Think about how crazy that would

0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 1>have sounded eight years ago.

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Now, dog I did. I was a practice player at

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:36.800
<v Speaker 2>UH for our college, our women's college basketball team.

0:39:37.000 --> 0:39:37.520
<v Speaker 1>That's cool.

0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it was fun college Michigan. Oh Jesus, yeah one,

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:43.839
<v Speaker 2>yeah it was. They were the worst team.

0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:45.160
<v Speaker 1>And you must can ball though.

0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty good. Yeah I could play. I could

0:39:47.320 --> 0:39:50.279
<v Speaker 2>play some ball. I can't anymore. But at a time

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:52.640
<v Speaker 2>in my life I was pretty good at basketball. But

0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:57.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that that I realized, even when

0:39:57.239 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 2>doing it this was two thousand seven that I'm doing it.

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 2>There was nobody I told it to that didn't laugh

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:07.720
<v Speaker 2>in my face, you know what I mean. Like even

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 2>now when I mention it to like executives and stuff,

0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:14.799
<v Speaker 2>they kind of like chuckle and shit because it's as

0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:19.160
<v Speaker 2>a premise, just seems absurd that a man would bow

0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:22.960
<v Speaker 2>the knee to more talented women than him at a

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:24.919
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, at a thing wild lead

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:27.960
<v Speaker 2>more talented, so much better. I'm giving you props from

0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:29.839
<v Speaker 2>being on the court with them. I just think that.

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:34.200
<v Speaker 1>It's I forgot what that principle is called. Like, the

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>more you learn, the more you realize, the less you know,

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:40.439
<v Speaker 1>and so you understand how difficult life is. And that's why,

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.840
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of people will look at some amazing

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and be like, oh yeah, all right, yeah basketball, you

0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:47.600
<v Speaker 1>shoot the ball and the hoop, got it. But like

0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:49.880
<v Speaker 1>when you learn basketball, you have to learn how to

0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:52.600
<v Speaker 1>shoot and get your mechanics, then learn how to dribble,

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:55.160
<v Speaker 1>then learn how to play defense, then learn how to

0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:57.360
<v Speaker 1>play team basketball, and then learn how to play against

0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the zone. You just realize that you'll never know all

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 1>the stuff. But if you keep your horizon super low.

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Everything is super easy to you. You're like, it's just

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:11.719
<v Speaker 1>because you take the simplest. You can't do anything right,

0:41:11.800 --> 0:41:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't do nothing. Everything hard seems easy because you've

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:16.320
<v Speaker 1>never tried to do anything.

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:20.480
<v Speaker 2>It's the thing that drives me the craziest. I only

0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.839
<v Speaker 2>watch the NBA. I'm not really tapped in in any

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 2>other sport, but like you'll see it, probably every day

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 2>that an NBA game is playing, some some player's name

0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:33.759
<v Speaker 2>will be trending, and it's just people saying they're fucking trash,

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:38.760
<v Speaker 2>just like Gay Vincent for the Lakers, unbelievable. Every week

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.480
<v Speaker 2>they're like, fucking gave n He's the worst player in

0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the league. He fucking sucks. He is so good at basketball.

0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:48.680
<v Speaker 3>He's the best athlete you would ever come across if

0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:50.759
<v Speaker 3>you met him in person in your entire life, by

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:53.880
<v Speaker 3>far and away, every every single NBA athlete.

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I've played against d two dudes that I was like,

0:41:56.760 --> 0:41:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe how much better you are at basketball

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:02.799
<v Speaker 2>than I am. You know what I mean, your light

0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 2>years above what I'm capable of. So like, what are

0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:09.799
<v Speaker 2>we talking about? He's not trash. You're upset with him,

0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:12.719
<v Speaker 2>and you're in a bad way because your parlay ain't

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:15.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna hit. But like, no way is this a bad

0:42:16.000 --> 0:42:18.040
<v Speaker 2>basketball player. Watch your fucking mouth.

0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:22.279
<v Speaker 1>There's no respect. Watch your mouth, Doug. It's like in

0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:24.840
<v Speaker 1>terms of just like can you put a little speck

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 1>on anybody's name? Like it? Dude. I remember when the

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Calves won the title from Cleveland. It is the only

0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.520
<v Speaker 1>time our city's ever seen a title in my lifetime.

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:37.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry that's happened to you.

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean dysfunctional organizations. I mean, if you think about it,

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:45.799
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the team, it's just and I

0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:48.400
<v Speaker 1>was telling my my homie this in a weird way.

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:52.800
<v Speaker 1>If you think about how like just soccer or football whatever.

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:55.760
<v Speaker 1>In Europe, if you suck, they demote you to basically

0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:59.680
<v Speaker 1>secret late sys it is. But here NFL, they share

0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:02.759
<v Speaker 1>that tea TV money, so there's no incentive for your

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.719
<v Speaker 1>team to get better. Because the good thing about capitalism

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:08.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever is it eliminates poorly run companies.

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 3>But here with what team do we talked about that with?

0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember, but I do remember the conversation.

0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh Jerry Jones, right, yeah, yeah, because because it's more

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:23.160
<v Speaker 3>lucrative than for win than if he's a winner.

0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:27.040
<v Speaker 1>What if what if the Cowboys or the Browns had

0:43:27.040 --> 0:43:29.120
<v Speaker 1>to drop down and play in like the XFL or

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the AFL. If it was the XFL and the Super

0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Bowl winner came up and played in the pros like soccer. Yeah,

0:43:36.960 --> 0:43:38.960
<v Speaker 1>like you get, you get, and it would just keep

0:43:39.000 --> 0:43:41.080
<v Speaker 1>your ship. So you're just not like, yo, we got

0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:43.120
<v Speaker 1>an eighty five year old running our team, and your

0:43:43.160 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>team looks like it a good wide receiver. It's like

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the way like a seven year old with draft, like

0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I just need a good wide receiver. It's like no,

0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, but you there, there's no incentive to get

0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:58.400
<v Speaker 1>better because the floor is the same as the ceiling.

0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're the split. We still see the bread that

0:44:02.200 --> 0:44:04.720
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna see. Everybody's gonna eat.

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:05.919
<v Speaker 1>And it increases every year.

0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, you just got to keep on. You just

0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:10.759
<v Speaker 3>gotta hold the team as long as you own it.

0:44:10.800 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 3>You make that money. That's a bad business.

0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:17.359
<v Speaker 3>Before once again, I'm sorry you guys haven't won. We

0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:22.799
<v Speaker 3>recently won. It was pretty great. Yeah, you're a b No,

0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:25.440
<v Speaker 3>this is because it's Christmas. It didn't come across the bit.

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:28.160
<v Speaker 3>The bit didn't really work. This is coming out on

0:44:28.239 --> 0:44:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Christmas Eve. Yeah, so I wore Christmas colors. Well, you

0:44:31.120 --> 0:44:32.840
<v Speaker 3>had on the Santa hat and then and then I

0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:34.920
<v Speaker 3>gave it to like because I wanted him to be involved.

0:44:35.000 --> 0:44:37.560
<v Speaker 3>That's all what this is about. Yeah, you you swung

0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:39.440
<v Speaker 3>big on Christmas. I swung huge.

0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:42.799
<v Speaker 2>You said I love the Lord. That's not what I want,

0:44:43.200 --> 0:44:47.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's what you said. What I said, that's

0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:48.360
<v Speaker 2>not what I said.

0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:50.280
<v Speaker 3>I think women should work more.

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Before we go to break. Do you have you ever

0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 2>celebrated kwants in your adult life? No? Not as a child,

0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:05.080
<v Speaker 2>but not even as an adult.

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 1>No, And I don't. Maybe I was thinking, since I

0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:12.959
<v Speaker 1>have this take on my next year, you know, because

0:45:12.960 --> 0:45:14.719
<v Speaker 1>it's too late now to spring it on my kids.

0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:18.279
<v Speaker 1>But I know, I know, it's like, that's my that's

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:20.360
<v Speaker 1>my I'd be like, I'm ready, Oh, y'all are college?

0:45:21.239 --> 0:45:21.680
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Then this is gonna be one young child being annihilated

0:45:26.920 --> 0:45:29.480
<v Speaker 2>by a new a new holiday.

0:45:29.760 --> 0:45:32.600
<v Speaker 3>I would be so hard. He knows his brother, he

0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:34.239
<v Speaker 3>knows his siblings at Christmas?

0:45:34.320 --> 0:45:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, friends, Yeah, it's like, yo, what did you get

0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:45.200
<v Speaker 1>for unity today? Who moji out of coach?

0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Coach? It turns out me and my dad held hands

0:45:48.239 --> 0:45:50.600
<v Speaker 2>in the kitchen and said what we're grateful for about

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:51.000
<v Speaker 2>each other?

0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:54.040
<v Speaker 1>That's that's what it is. But the only time that

0:45:54.040 --> 0:45:56.920
<v Speaker 1>that works hold hands talking about like hey man, we

0:45:56.960 --> 0:45:58.480
<v Speaker 1>live a good life, which I think we should do

0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:00.880
<v Speaker 1>more often, like I have, I've tried to do. But

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, comics is like that's a certain time in

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:06.960
<v Speaker 1>your life that's like post college until you get married,

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:09.120
<v Speaker 1>where you're trying to figure out who you are and

0:46:09.160 --> 0:46:11.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a there's a space in there where like you

0:46:12.000 --> 0:46:14.399
<v Speaker 1>be open. It's also the same period of time where

0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:16.480
<v Speaker 1>you're open to join in a cult. It's just weird.

0:46:16.680 --> 0:46:18.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's the same thing.

0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean really.

0:46:20.719 --> 0:46:22.080
<v Speaker 3>This is a cult. What do you think there's a

0:46:22.120 --> 0:46:22.719
<v Speaker 3>comedy thing?

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, I was telling my boy the

0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:28.439
<v Speaker 1>other day with cults, like I wonder if, like cause

0:46:28.440 --> 0:46:31.480
<v Speaker 1>if we only see the people that successfully started them,

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:33.279
<v Speaker 1>and you know that there's something that it failed, But

0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:36.000
<v Speaker 1>what about the kinds of just like you have a

0:46:36.080 --> 0:46:37.960
<v Speaker 1>cult and you try to like five hundred people and

0:46:38.000 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 1>you got like four, Bro, there's twenty people? Really?

0:46:42.520 --> 0:46:45.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, shut up? What's the what's nick? Do you know

0:46:45.320 --> 0:46:49.320
<v Speaker 3>the county where the Frozen Dead Lady was my Mother God. Yeah,

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:52.719
<v Speaker 3>but in that county, there's several other cults that are

0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:55.239
<v Speaker 3>on the same type of thing where it's just like

0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:57.200
<v Speaker 3>ten people who are on this ship.

0:46:57.280 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe that's the way to go, because like next

0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:01.200
<v Speaker 1>to them got too big and once they started branding

0:47:01.200 --> 0:47:02.719
<v Speaker 1>them that, the government was like, we got to get in.

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen the Mother God documentary?

0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I think so. Is that that woman that kind of

0:47:06.719 --> 0:47:09.839
<v Speaker 1>went crazy but like those kids were obsessed with her?

0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Which one's the mother got.

0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:14.200
<v Speaker 2>She she starts drinking silver?

0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I saw that one. Absolutely.

0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's very that one. That part of it. I

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:20.960
<v Speaker 2>had to carry her around at the end, she like

0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:25.560
<v Speaker 2>drinks herself to death, but specifically with silver and alcohol.

0:47:25.920 --> 0:47:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, But you imagine like diagnosing cirrhosis and then also

0:47:29.960 --> 0:47:32.320
<v Speaker 1>having to be like are you drinking liquid silver?

0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:34.439
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, because I'm God. But that one, I think is

0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:45.000
<v Speaker 2>an example of like there were only like fifteen people,

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:47.240
<v Speaker 2>but they fucked with her heart.

0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:49.959
<v Speaker 3>That's that's all you need. Small batched cults is really

0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:52.560
<v Speaker 3>the way to go. I think that's what the problem

0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:54.799
<v Speaker 3>becomes when they scale it up. Like, but if you're

0:47:54.840 --> 0:47:57.200
<v Speaker 3>able to start a religion and it's just like you

0:47:57.239 --> 0:47:59.520
<v Speaker 3>get eight to ten people, but they'll die for that ship.

0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:01.480
<v Speaker 3>I'll get greedy, you know what I mean? How much

0:48:01.480 --> 0:48:01.879
<v Speaker 3>do you need?

0:48:02.120 --> 0:48:05.520
<v Speaker 2>My wife keeps trying to start a cult. What. Yeah,

0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I probably shouldn't have done this right before a break,

0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:12.919
<v Speaker 2>but ah, she's actively keeps being her whole thing. She's

0:48:12.960 --> 0:48:16.120
<v Speaker 2>a lawyer, and she keeps saying that a cult in

0:48:16.239 --> 0:48:19.600
<v Speaker 2>order to start to get religious exemption from taxes, all

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you need, technically is a firmly held belief. You don't

0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:26.239
<v Speaker 2>need a lot of paperwork. There isn't even a lot

0:48:26.239 --> 0:48:30.359
<v Speaker 2>of filing because she does nonprofit tax work and so, like,

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:33.840
<v Speaker 2>part of what she knows is that like religious exemption

0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:36.440
<v Speaker 2>is very different than like if you have to file

0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:39.560
<v Speaker 2>as a nonprofit that services this and this for the

0:48:39.600 --> 0:48:43.040
<v Speaker 2>community whatever. And so she keeps trying to convince her friends,

0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:46.840
<v Speaker 2>if we buy a compound somewhere and we just establish

0:48:46.880 --> 0:48:51.719
<v Speaker 2>a firmly held belief, we can create religious exemption and

0:48:51.840 --> 0:48:53.839
<v Speaker 2>live off the grid, get out of here.

0:48:53.920 --> 0:48:54.800
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty cool.

0:48:54.920 --> 0:48:57.680
<v Speaker 2>It is pretty cool. My issue with it, and this

0:48:57.719 --> 0:49:00.319
<v Speaker 2>is what I keep trying to emphasize with her, is

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:00.920
<v Speaker 2>that this is a.

0:49:00.960 --> 0:49:05.839
<v Speaker 3>Great because I don't imagine you guys have that fight,

0:49:05.920 --> 0:49:07.640
<v Speaker 3>but you're in a.

0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:08.520
<v Speaker 2>It's most of our fights.

0:49:08.719 --> 0:49:10.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like you have to put that hat on to

0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:13.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to speak in front of the groups on

0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the Santa Hat. I understand.

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:24.120
<v Speaker 2>My issue with it is not that it doesn't sound dope.

0:49:24.640 --> 0:49:28.920
<v Speaker 2>It's that historically we've always seen somebody take it too far,

0:49:29.400 --> 0:49:31.759
<v Speaker 2>do you know what I mean? Like Wild Wild Country

0:49:32.200 --> 0:49:35.960
<v Speaker 2>was about people putting on maroon and fucking in the woods,

0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and everybody loved it, and they were doing great, and

0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:42.760
<v Speaker 2>there were no problems until Sheila took it a step

0:49:42.800 --> 0:49:45.960
<v Speaker 2>too far and she poisoned the water supply. And now

0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:47.680
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, we don't get to fuck in

0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the woods no more because things got crazy, do you

0:49:50.560 --> 0:49:53.319
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? Like, there's always that You'll be sure.

0:49:53.480 --> 0:49:55.839
<v Speaker 1>I got to step in for Sheila, Doug. You think

0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Sheila is a hero in the story. I think Sheila

0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:01.719
<v Speaker 1>is maybe, and this is going to sound crazy. I

0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:03.920
<v Speaker 1>put her in the same pantheon that I put Kobe,

0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:08.399
<v Speaker 1>whoa I swear to God and that somebody that's able

0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to have determination on the level where it's unhealthy but

0:50:11.080 --> 0:50:14.000
<v Speaker 1>it's necessary to get what you want done done. Kobe

0:50:14.040 --> 0:50:17.239
<v Speaker 1>is going through a rape trial and balling on his

0:50:17.320 --> 0:50:22.160
<v Speaker 1>off dse the death thousand yard deaths there. That's what

0:50:22.280 --> 0:50:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Sheila had. And Sheila was cool until that county around

0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 1>her started trying to pull some Shenanigans with the votes

0:50:28.800 --> 0:50:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and trying to get them up out of there, and

0:50:30.640 --> 0:50:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Sheila was like, it ain't going. What did Marlosa and

0:50:33.640 --> 0:50:35.319
<v Speaker 1>the wire? You wanted to be one way, but it's

0:50:35.320 --> 0:50:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the other way. It was the other way.

0:50:38.480 --> 0:50:43.120
<v Speaker 3>And I don't have that in me. I don't know how.

0:50:43.040 --> 0:50:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Many people do. But if you can get Sheila on

0:50:46.280 --> 0:50:49.040
<v Speaker 1>your side, you're in good shape. If she's going against

0:50:49.040 --> 0:50:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you as a problem.

0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:53.160
<v Speaker 2>But that's my issue is that I think it's not

0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:55.000
<v Speaker 2>that you don't want Sheila on your side, and I

0:50:55.080 --> 0:50:57.239
<v Speaker 2>agree with you. It was much more about those white

0:50:57.239 --> 0:51:00.720
<v Speaker 2>people making problems for them than it was that Sheila

0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:01.920
<v Speaker 2>created the problems.

0:51:02.239 --> 0:51:04.040
<v Speaker 3>But what you do need with this.

0:51:04.160 --> 0:51:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Firmly help belief is a level of sobriety where you go,

0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:12.800
<v Speaker 2>we don't really believe this shit, and Sheila really fucking believed.

0:51:12.880 --> 0:51:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, that's dangerous.

0:51:14.840 --> 0:51:16.520
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's just you being too good of a

0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:17.120
<v Speaker 3>cult leader.

0:51:17.360 --> 0:51:20.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the problem is that, like somebody in there is

0:51:20.160 --> 0:51:22.759
<v Speaker 2>really gonna be like, I'll die for this shit. Well

0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:24.960
<v Speaker 2>you need everybody kill you for this. I'll kill you

0:51:25.080 --> 0:51:26.480
<v Speaker 2>for this shit. And that's scary.

0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:28.680
<v Speaker 3>But that's what I like about what your wife's idea is.

0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:31.279
<v Speaker 3>She's like, hey, y'all, we're gonna run a scam. M

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:35.160
<v Speaker 3>we all know we're scamming that that I think seems reasonable,

0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:37.960
<v Speaker 3>but I've been always starts that way. Yeah, I think

0:51:38.600 --> 0:51:40.400
<v Speaker 3>he pulled me over because I was on you.

0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I never thought about the long term because we're imagining

0:51:44.080 --> 0:51:46.680
<v Speaker 1>this in this abstract way, like we are all kind

0:51:46.719 --> 0:51:49.319
<v Speaker 1>of these fixed individuals, but we all know that there

0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:51.359
<v Speaker 1>have been periods of our lives. We got homeboys where

0:51:51.400 --> 0:51:53.759
<v Speaker 1>it's like, yeah, this is a fun thing. After like

0:51:54.320 --> 0:51:57.920
<v Speaker 1>he's had twenty seven nights of threesomes with twenty five

0:51:58.000 --> 0:52:03.080
<v Speaker 1>year olds calling him their lord or whatever. That would change,

0:52:03.239 --> 0:52:05.960
<v Speaker 1>but the chemicals in his mind.

0:52:05.880 --> 0:52:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Truly, But that's not what he's talking about, right Because

0:52:08.120 --> 0:52:10.759
<v Speaker 3>also the way that your wife is describing it, there's

0:52:10.840 --> 0:52:11.440
<v Speaker 3>no growth.

0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:15.880
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know that she can see past that.

0:52:16.320 --> 0:52:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you see what I'm saying. I think she's looking

0:52:18.040 --> 0:52:21.080
<v Speaker 2>at as like I have eleven best friends. If me

0:52:21.160 --> 0:52:23.520
<v Speaker 2>and my eleven best friends all lived on a compound

0:52:23.520 --> 0:52:26.440
<v Speaker 2>together and we pretended to have this firmly held belief,

0:52:26.719 --> 0:52:29.360
<v Speaker 2>we'd be fine. But what she's skipping is that we

0:52:29.440 --> 0:52:32.520
<v Speaker 2>are raising children, and our children would be raised on

0:52:32.640 --> 0:52:36.160
<v Speaker 2>this compound with this firmly held belief as a principle

0:52:36.239 --> 0:52:38.800
<v Speaker 2>that they're living under, which means that they will eventually

0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:42.560
<v Speaker 2>want to carry that forward. And maybe my kids are

0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:44.839
<v Speaker 2>cool enough that they get that this is a bit,

0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:48.400
<v Speaker 2>or maybe my son is a weirdo who decides that

0:52:48.680 --> 0:52:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the firmly held belief means he gets four pussies a night,

0:52:52.480 --> 0:52:54.520
<v Speaker 2>and if he doesn't get his four pussies a night,

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:57.279
<v Speaker 2>he'll chop your feet off. What I'm now is got

0:52:57.280 --> 0:52:59.239
<v Speaker 2>a problem. But what I'm saying is the eleven of you,

0:52:59.440 --> 0:53:02.120
<v Speaker 2>or however of the eleven couples on the compound, right,

0:53:03.080 --> 0:53:05.560
<v Speaker 2>are you actually withhelding to the believer? Is that what

0:53:05.600 --> 0:53:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you're telling the government? I tell the government all kinds

0:53:08.000 --> 0:53:09.560
<v Speaker 2>of shit. You know what I'm saying. Are you in

0:53:09.680 --> 0:53:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that compound practicing a religion? Or is there a set

0:53:12.680 --> 0:53:14.719
<v Speaker 2>of rules that you're telling the government you reside by it?

0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:16.399
<v Speaker 2>But you guys are just living, Because if you guys

0:53:16.400 --> 0:53:18.000
<v Speaker 2>are just living, I don't think it becomes that. I

0:53:18.080 --> 0:53:20.680
<v Speaker 2>think it becomes just like a cool scam you guys

0:53:20.719 --> 0:53:23.600
<v Speaker 2>are running. I think I don't think that's the I

0:53:23.680 --> 0:53:27.200
<v Speaker 2>think that a turn to a religion is a lot

0:53:27.840 --> 0:53:32.200
<v Speaker 2>more purposeful than that. I think what you're saying sounds

0:53:32.640 --> 0:53:39.240
<v Speaker 2>to me idealistic more than what we've seen historically in practice.

0:53:39.719 --> 0:53:43.000
<v Speaker 2>That almost always in practice, somebody takes it too far

0:53:43.480 --> 0:53:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and then you're WACO.

0:53:44.920 --> 0:53:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what is the firmly hell believe? Are you

0:53:47.360 --> 0:53:50.680
<v Speaker 3>creating a religion or are you hiding from the government

0:53:51.400 --> 0:53:53.759
<v Speaker 3>saying something, Because to me, it sounds like you're just

0:53:53.840 --> 0:53:56.080
<v Speaker 3>hiding from the government and feeding this up.

0:53:56.160 --> 0:53:58.040
<v Speaker 2>And that's part of my problem. She don't have a

0:53:58.120 --> 0:54:00.640
<v Speaker 2>firmly hell belief yet, So until she can come with

0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:03.400
<v Speaker 2>a real argument for what our belief is, I'm not

0:54:03.480 --> 0:54:04.520
<v Speaker 2>buying this until.

0:54:04.320 --> 0:54:06.640
<v Speaker 3>She has a messiah, she has a guy.

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think again, you do start with a firmly

0:54:10.040 --> 0:54:12.279
<v Speaker 1>hell belief. It doesn't. Hey, all people are great, We're

0:54:12.320 --> 0:54:16.200
<v Speaker 1>all gonna wear Santa hats. That's how it starts. But

0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:18.719
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna you know, fundamentally, because of the way

0:54:18.840 --> 0:54:22.000
<v Speaker 1>human beings change over the course of times, months, years.

0:54:22.520 --> 0:54:25.320
<v Speaker 1>By the end of it, it's going to be somebody.

0:54:26.080 --> 0:54:29.799
<v Speaker 1>There's going to be because within any faction, you start

0:54:29.800 --> 0:54:33.360
<v Speaker 1>off unified, not just the walking dead. Initially it's like,

0:54:34.280 --> 0:54:36.200
<v Speaker 1>but just the concept we are all trying to not

0:54:36.280 --> 0:54:39.600
<v Speaker 1>get eaten by zombies. We are one unit with that goal.

0:54:40.120 --> 0:54:44.040
<v Speaker 1>But just like any faction Lord of Flies, once you

0:54:44.120 --> 0:54:46.680
<v Speaker 1>get together, that faction is gonna split. Some people are like,

0:54:46.960 --> 0:54:48.520
<v Speaker 1>now let's rate the women, and other people are like,

0:54:48.600 --> 0:54:51.480
<v Speaker 1>let's get sanitation and running water and like have funerals.

0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Everything is going to split, and you're going to start

0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:56.480
<v Speaker 1>off like, hey, we all wear Santa hats and we

0:54:56.560 --> 0:54:59.600
<v Speaker 1>have fun. This is all tax scam. Seven years down

0:54:59.640 --> 0:55:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the line, there's no way that you are still that

0:55:03.760 --> 0:55:05.360
<v Speaker 1>is still the model.

0:55:05.160 --> 0:55:08.240
<v Speaker 2>That we're just vibing. No, we're gonna argue about dinner

0:55:08.360 --> 0:55:11.640
<v Speaker 2>one night, and it's gonna create a faction. And now

0:55:11.840 --> 0:55:16.160
<v Speaker 2>suddenly your beliefs and my beliefs are slightly askew, and

0:55:16.280 --> 0:55:19.919
<v Speaker 2>a generation later we're murdering each other. Yes, I don't

0:55:19.960 --> 0:55:21.080
<v Speaker 2>think it's possible nature.

0:55:21.080 --> 0:55:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's that talk. I think I think

0:55:23.280 --> 0:55:25.720
<v Speaker 3>I believe in small batch of cults. Who I believe

0:55:25.719 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 3>in small batch clotes? Well, I think when you try

0:55:28.120 --> 0:55:30.640
<v Speaker 3>to start scaling it up and inviting people from the outside,

0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I think you can do it.

0:55:32.040 --> 0:55:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:55:32.239 --> 0:55:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you about a little country called the

0:55:34.000 --> 0:55:37.239
<v Speaker 2>United States of America. My man, It started with something

0:55:37.320 --> 0:55:40.560
<v Speaker 2>called the Declaration of Independence, right, uh, and.

0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:44.759
<v Speaker 3>It ain't going so well. It's not going so well.

0:55:44.920 --> 0:55:49.200
<v Speaker 2>He won We need to take a break. Yeah, we

0:55:50.280 --> 0:55:52.200
<v Speaker 2>went so long. Then, all right, we're gonna be back

0:55:52.239 --> 0:55:53.120
<v Speaker 2>with mara Al Jackson more.

0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:53.960
<v Speaker 3>My mama told me.

0:56:04.000 --> 0:56:04.879
<v Speaker 2>We are back.

0:56:05.840 --> 0:56:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Happy Kwanza. What is the quanta reading?

0:56:08.120 --> 0:56:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Actually it's uh.

0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:13.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it's Swahili based, so like, I feel very

0:56:13.800 --> 0:56:16.400
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable black men from Cleveland Swahi.

0:56:16.760 --> 0:56:20.520

<v Speaker 3>The only word I know is jambo.

0:56:26.280 --> 0:56:26.839
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean?

0:56:26.920 --> 0:56:28.480
<v Speaker 3>It means hello. I had a book when I was

0:56:28.480 --> 0:56:35.279
<v Speaker 3>a kid called Jombo means hello. Yeah, okay, there that.

0:56:35.560 --> 0:56:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Guy stayed with me.

0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:56:39.360 --> 0:56:41.759
<v Speaker 1>How many books do you read? You remember years later?

0:56:42.520 --> 0:56:43.239
<v Speaker 1>It's impressive.

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I read a lot of.

0:56:43.920 --> 0:56:45.399
<v Speaker 3>Books as a kid. I don't read it as many

0:56:45.440 --> 0:56:47.239
<v Speaker 3>as an adult, but I read a share of books

0:56:47.280 --> 0:56:47.719
<v Speaker 3>as a kid.

0:56:47.960 --> 0:56:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Man I had adhd or do, but dude, I got

0:56:51.080 --> 0:56:53.480
<v Speaker 1>adderall and it changed my life. I started being able

0:56:53.520 --> 0:56:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to read. I got through college without ever really reading.

0:56:56.239 --> 0:56:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I just had to listen because I couldn't read anything.

0:56:58.480 --> 0:57:00.160
<v Speaker 1>And then I just went on a tear and I

0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:01.120
<v Speaker 1>started reading everything.

0:57:01.560 --> 0:57:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I don't have it anymore. I'm my brain

0:57:05.239 --> 0:57:07.439
<v Speaker 3>as much. But as a kid, I was like, really,

0:57:07.560 --> 0:57:10.080
<v Speaker 3>you feel the starting to go. Yeah, it's tough because

0:57:10.160 --> 0:57:14.000
<v Speaker 3>I recently realized I ran out of like all the

0:57:14.080 --> 0:57:16.120
<v Speaker 3>knowledge I acquired from reading in my youth.

0:57:16.280 --> 0:57:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I got to the end.

0:57:18.040 --> 0:57:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Does that make sense? Like the porch is over, and

0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:23.200
<v Speaker 3>now I got to acquire new and the muscle at

0:57:23.240 --> 0:57:25.280
<v Speaker 3>your feed from Not like I still read, but I

0:57:25.360 --> 0:57:27.280
<v Speaker 3>read like four or five books in a.

0:57:27.320 --> 0:57:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Year, you know what I mean. There's a very embarrassing

0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:35.200
<v Speaker 2>thing when somebody asks you, like, what's your favorite book,

0:57:35.760 --> 0:57:38.400
<v Speaker 2>and then something from high school pops in your head.

0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Truly, Yeah, fences, Yeah, ELI was out like the things

0:57:46.040 --> 0:57:50.280
<v Speaker 1>they carried. Yeah, you just have to act like you

0:57:50.480 --> 0:57:52.800
<v Speaker 1>kept reading. But that books that you're like, look, catching

0:57:52.840 --> 0:57:54.760
<v Speaker 1>a Riot still really good?

0:57:54.800 --> 0:57:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, this is fucked up.

0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:57.680
<v Speaker 4>Though that it is.

0:57:57.840 --> 0:57:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I do feel that way about that book. He literally

0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:02.120
<v Speaker 2>he tried to argue with me the other day about

0:58:02.200 --> 0:58:03.160
<v Speaker 2>how good that book it is.

0:58:03.320 --> 0:58:04.880
<v Speaker 3>It is amazing, It is amazing.

0:58:04.960 --> 0:58:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I need to reread it.

0:58:06.520 --> 0:58:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we should all reread it.

0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I taught it, and I don't feel that way.

0:58:10.120 --> 0:58:12.560
<v Speaker 3>I love it, and I've read other sallengers shit to

0:58:12.640 --> 0:58:14.720
<v Speaker 3>make sure that I love it. But you know what

0:58:14.760 --> 0:58:15.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean.

0:58:15.640 --> 0:58:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, great, I'm giving her to reread. He taught English.

0:58:18.800 --> 0:58:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I taught high school English.

0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I taught middle school science man middle school.

0:58:25.000 --> 0:58:30.360
<v Speaker 2>I hated them. I briefly did like after school programming

0:58:30.400 --> 0:58:33.640
<v Speaker 2>with middle school kids, and they're truly the greatest nightmare

0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I could imagine. So I couldn't handle it. You got

0:58:35.960 --> 0:58:37.439
<v Speaker 2>to get on them wor I was at a weird

0:58:37.560 --> 0:58:39.320
<v Speaker 2>time in my life and that I was just as

0:58:39.360 --> 0:58:40.800
<v Speaker 2>crazy as they were. Like I was partying.

0:58:41.040 --> 0:58:41.600
<v Speaker 3>I was Miami.

0:58:41.800 --> 0:58:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I was at twenty seven in Miami, like pre social media,

0:58:44.880 --> 0:58:48.200
<v Speaker 1>so it was like the nineteen fifties. Yeah, I literally

0:58:48.960 --> 0:58:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you it'll smoke SIGs in the bar, like Miami's a

0:58:52.920 --> 0:58:55.520
<v Speaker 1>loose bro. You can like take a scotch and walk

0:58:55.600 --> 0:58:59.280
<v Speaker 1>outside and like like the glass dog and you know

0:58:59.280 --> 0:59:01.320
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Like they just don't care it down there.

0:59:01.920 --> 0:59:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And so I think my kids felt my energy. But

0:59:05.200 --> 0:59:07.000
<v Speaker 1>now if I try to teach not on there, they.

0:59:06.920 --> 0:59:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Would writ me apart.

0:59:08.400 --> 0:59:10.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, like when the old like one of the first,

0:59:11.840 --> 0:59:14.919
<v Speaker 1>like the original gang member, like goes back to jail

0:59:14.920 --> 0:59:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, I'm an old gen Like shut.

0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:20.920
<v Speaker 6>Up, you just don't have that energy anymore. So like

0:59:22.080 --> 0:59:27.000
<v Speaker 6>hold up, like we hold up, you're trying to tell

0:59:27.000 --> 0:59:28.440
<v Speaker 6>you don't know your history, young man.

0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:32.240
<v Speaker 2>You see, when we started, it was about breakdance.

0:59:34.840 --> 0:59:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll see you at the club. That's how they used

0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to settle beefs. Think about that. It's just like me

0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and Davids cool, We're gonna settle this on Friday at

0:59:42.960 --> 0:59:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Club Outlander.

0:59:44.440 --> 0:59:47.160
<v Speaker 3>It's like, what I think there's any dance move I

0:59:47.200 --> 0:59:48.800
<v Speaker 3>could do to you that would feel better than hitting

0:59:48.880 --> 0:59:49.320
<v Speaker 3>somebody in the.

0:59:49.680 --> 0:59:53.360
<v Speaker 2>No, there was one brave man who figured that out.

0:59:54.360 --> 0:59:56.919
<v Speaker 2>He lost that dance battle, and I'm just gonna beat

0:59:56.960 --> 1:00:00.200
<v Speaker 2>him up. I'm gonna punch him in the head. I

1:00:00.240 --> 1:00:02.240
<v Speaker 2>think that's gonna feel that that was ground zero for

1:00:02.360 --> 1:00:03.040
<v Speaker 2>gang violence.

1:00:04.240 --> 1:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Can we go back to dancing and and graffiti, y'all.

1:00:07.440 --> 1:00:08.640
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, that's.

1:00:08.520 --> 1:00:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Why we know the name Stanley Tuki Williams.

1:00:11.320 --> 1:00:13.560
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean, because his windmill wasn't wind

1:00:16.000 --> 1:00:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Now everybody's gotta die.

1:00:19.920 --> 1:00:20.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean if you.

1:00:20.640 --> 1:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Think about like Juice doesn't seem like that long ago,

1:00:23.560 --> 1:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>but when you watch it, when you see the gun

1:00:25.520 --> 1:00:28.439
<v Speaker 1>that Tupac has, like I would give that to my tech.

1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>That gun is like he's got like a thirty eight.

1:00:30.720 --> 1:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>He's like, you would look crazy if you pull that out,

1:00:35.160 --> 1:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Like you can get that in the club openly, and

1:00:37.920 --> 1:00:42.480
<v Speaker 1>like how quickly that elevated to like you gotta be

1:00:42.680 --> 1:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>extra strapped up.

1:00:43.640 --> 1:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>And even that he only had one gun. The whole movie.

1:00:49.480 --> 1:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a community gun. Yeah.

1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>The whole movie is just about Tupac got the gun

1:00:55.400 --> 1:00:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and isn't being nice about it, and then everybody's scared.

1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>It's like, I bro, everybody's got guns now, and everybody

1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>they're not revolvers, they're they're really.

1:01:08.400 --> 1:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>That's how they Juice two got squashed in the uh

1:01:13.040 --> 1:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>just the early development, Like Juice is successful, it's to

1:01:15.360 --> 1:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>make Juice two where now another guy's got a gun,

1:01:17.840 --> 1:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>then it's just a gang. Okay, okay, it only works

1:01:20.840 --> 1:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>if one if there's one gun, what if.

1:01:22.600 --> 1:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Tyrese Gibson has the gun?

1:01:24.240 --> 1:01:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Now pretty good, I would watch Juice two starring I.

1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Do believe that they made a Juice to and I

1:01:31.080 --> 1:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>do believe that it starred uh. If I'm not mistaken,

1:01:35.080 --> 1:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it might have been either Soldier Boy or

1:01:37.120 --> 1:01:37.880
<v Speaker 2>DC Young Fly.

1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Really. Oh, they made a Juice too recently.

1:01:40.760 --> 1:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty I think that's a conspiracy. Yes, yeah, Belly

1:01:47.840 --> 1:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>two exists.

1:01:48.600 --> 1:01:53.960
<v Speaker 3>Juice, Yeah, it's I kind of it's not great watching

1:01:53.960 --> 1:01:55.120
<v Speaker 3>the movie start in the game.

1:01:56.240 --> 1:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I'm sure you've discussed this, but uh,

1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess what. I guess No, Pop wasn't the first act.

1:02:04.640 --> 1:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, ic Tea is in the first couple of Breakings.

1:02:07.800 --> 1:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>And here is a weird conspiracy I did have because

1:02:11.920 --> 1:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I was like, remember the Olympics this past year that

1:02:14.840 --> 1:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Australian breakdancer Ray Gun bruined breakdancing. They took it from

1:02:18.560 --> 1:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the Olympics. I'll never forget Breaking two. They put a

1:02:23.160 --> 1:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>white girl in there. She was horrible and that was

1:02:27.240 --> 1:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the end of the Breakings because Breaking one it was

1:02:29.360 --> 1:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>about New York City breakdance scene. It was it was

1:02:32.440 --> 1:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>like the culture, hip hop dancing, the gay scene like

1:02:36.440 --> 1:02:39.640
<v Speaker 1>an alt scene was really Breaking one. Breaking Two they

1:02:39.720 --> 1:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>stucked the rich white girl in there because they needed

1:02:41.760 --> 1:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that narrative, like my father is going to tear down

1:02:44.440 --> 1:02:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the community center and make a make a strip mall.

1:02:47.000 --> 1:02:49.640
<v Speaker 3>That was a big thing and like also makes no

1:02:49.840 --> 1:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>sense story wise.

1:02:51.960 --> 1:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Talk to me.

1:02:52.560 --> 1:02:54.280
<v Speaker 3>I watched You with My Girl like six months ago.

1:02:54.400 --> 1:02:55.800
<v Speaker 3>It is a horrible movie.

1:02:56.000 --> 1:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Is that electric?

1:02:57.800 --> 1:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so it doesn't make any sense. It's like terribly

1:03:01.000 --> 1:03:04.160
<v Speaker 3>rat like Breaking One had a plot. Breaking Two it

1:03:04.320 --> 1:03:06.120
<v Speaker 3>was just like bad.

1:03:06.200 --> 1:03:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Admittedly, I've never seen either of the Breakings. I don't Oh,

1:03:09.480 --> 1:03:11.560
<v Speaker 2>what are you a beach street guy? No, I haven't

1:03:11.560 --> 1:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>seen that either. There are certain films crush groove, that's

1:03:14.720 --> 1:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>your thing, buddy. There are certain generations of films that

1:03:18.560 --> 1:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I know that if I watch it, I'm not gonna

1:03:21.400 --> 1:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>like it, and I don't want to disrespect it. Do

1:03:25.000 --> 1:03:27.640
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean? Yeah, Roger, just go, I'm

1:03:27.680 --> 1:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>too old. The generation has passed. There's nothing they're gonna

1:03:31.360 --> 1:03:35.760
<v Speaker 2>do that's gonna like wow me, they're good. Out of respect,

1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll acknowledge y'all had it, and I'll move on with

1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>my life instead of doing that ship where we go? Man,

1:03:41.880 --> 1:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>what the fuck was Rev Run talking about?

1:03:46.840 --> 1:03:47.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1:03:47.080 --> 1:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>He was killing it back then. I get it, but

1:03:50.120 --> 1:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>not no more. And I'm not trying to do.

1:03:52.160 --> 1:03:52.440
<v Speaker 4>You know what.

1:03:52.520 --> 1:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I still watch it holds up King of New York, Oh,

1:03:56.120 --> 1:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>with Frank Whitet.

1:03:57.040 --> 1:03:57.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1:03:58.080 --> 1:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Really, Christop's dark. Okay have you seen that? Wesley Snipe's

1:04:06.720 --> 1:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>his character, but he that's I mean, he was coked

1:04:09.400 --> 1:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>out and probably unmedicated. You know, do you ever think

1:04:12.840 --> 1:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>about that, Like when you look at our parents, Like

1:04:14.960 --> 1:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody that they grew up with was not medicated. Yeah,

1:04:18.640 --> 1:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>all the depression, all the alcoholism. Nobody around them was like,

1:04:22.720 --> 1:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>hey David, I don't think you should be drinking in

1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the morning. Like, no one ever told noone depressed. I mean,

1:04:31.040 --> 1:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy that they made it. It's like really bananas

1:04:34.720 --> 1:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>when you think about it.

1:04:35.680 --> 1:04:40.960
<v Speaker 2>No, they when they call younger generations like weak, I

1:04:41.120 --> 1:04:43.960
<v Speaker 2>do understand what they're saying. I don't agree with it,

1:04:44.120 --> 1:04:47.160
<v Speaker 2>but I understand it. It's like you were truly raw

1:04:47.240 --> 1:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>dogging the world and you figured out a way to

1:04:49.840 --> 1:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>survive this ship, and we're asking for reasonable accommodations and

1:04:54.680 --> 1:04:57.720
<v Speaker 2>you're like, but I didn't. I didn't have that right, right,

1:04:57.800 --> 1:05:00.200
<v Speaker 2>And so it's like, no, you comparatively, we we are

1:05:00.320 --> 1:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>doing a weaker thing, absolutely, but it also you're tripping

1:05:04.080 --> 1:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>you shouldn't have done.

1:05:04.920 --> 1:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>That, right. There's some low key hating because I'm sure

1:05:07.360 --> 1:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>they're looking like, well, do you know what I could

1:05:09.360 --> 1:05:11.960
<v Speaker 1>have done if it wasn't legal to slap your wife

1:05:12.160 --> 1:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>in Texas until nineteen ninety one or whatever, these crazy

1:05:15.600 --> 1:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>laws that they grew up with, like women like I

1:05:18.960 --> 1:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>don't think people realize like the world that women were

1:05:24.400 --> 1:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>living in up until probably like the mid early nineties,

1:05:29.080 --> 1:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>where what was going on at work, like your boss

1:05:32.960 --> 1:05:35.280
<v Speaker 1>would just call it, yeah, what's up, hot chocolate? Like

1:05:35.920 --> 1:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>your like or shut the fuck like people were.

1:05:39.560 --> 1:05:42.680
<v Speaker 3>It was crazy saw on Miami at work with women.

1:05:44.400 --> 1:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll just say like in the places I worked, some

1:05:47.160 --> 1:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of them were comedy clubs. So we're gonna make this

1:05:49.000 --> 1:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>real vague, but like it would be I can't. It

1:05:53.560 --> 1:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>was like Studio fifty four. It's exactly what you think.

1:05:56.000 --> 1:05:56.320
<v Speaker 2>It would be.

1:05:56.840 --> 1:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>There was blow everywhere everywhere, and especially like when you

1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>would do the the smaller cities you'd be in like

1:06:04.640 --> 1:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Fort Myers or somewhere just the owner would just you

1:06:07.600 --> 1:06:09.280
<v Speaker 1>go back there to get paid, get your check, and

1:06:09.520 --> 1:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>just blow on the table your check sitting there, waitress

1:06:14.240 --> 1:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>sitting on his lap, he's half in the bag, his

1:06:17.840 --> 1:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>wife is up front. I mean, it was fuck it,

1:06:21.040 --> 1:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>but it didn't it didn't seem weird. It was just

1:06:25.360 --> 1:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>like I was offered to be paid in cocaine, their money,

1:06:28.200 --> 1:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I was a teacher. I was like,

1:06:29.560 --> 1:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>give me my I have nothing. I didn't even know.

1:06:32.040 --> 1:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>But the idea that somebody would even propose that didn't

1:06:35.400 --> 1:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>seem crazy. I was like, I'm sure some people would

1:06:37.120 --> 1:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>do it. I was like, I hope I get in

1:06:38.120 --> 1:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a position to shake that, you know. Yeah, just dude,

1:06:43.800 --> 1:06:47.640
<v Speaker 1>it was I will say this. And just to wrap

1:06:47.720 --> 1:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that up, there was one place where when a new

1:06:50.560 --> 1:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>waitress would come uh to the club like oh it's

1:06:54.000 --> 1:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>it's uh, you know, Norah's first night. All the waiters

1:06:58.720 --> 1:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and waitresses would be in the the back area where

1:07:00.960 --> 1:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the bar is and they would have her like walk

1:07:04.160 --> 1:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>down like the you know, the gauntlet, and everybody they'd

1:07:07.800 --> 1:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>be like, look at her ass. They turn her around

1:07:10.040 --> 1:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and then everybody, the men and the women, would smack

1:07:12.280 --> 1:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>her on the ass, holy shit, every new female weight

1:07:15.800 --> 1:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>staff that's on god like, But it was just like,

1:07:19.040 --> 1:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, there's a new checkworking. It's just and that's

1:07:22.880 --> 1:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>where the me too moved again.

1:07:24.320 --> 1:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Put her on the cover of Time magazine. Yeah you

1:07:27.040 --> 1:07:30.360
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, not Terry Crust's don't give a

1:07:30.440 --> 1:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>fuck about him getting his dick grabbed that one time.

1:07:34.200 --> 1:07:38.200
<v Speaker 2>That lady deserves a profile of like a I went

1:07:38.360 --> 1:07:41.200
<v Speaker 2>through it. There was no payoff on the other end

1:07:41.280 --> 1:07:43.840
<v Speaker 2>of this. No, I was just a waitress at a

1:07:44.080 --> 1:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>comedy club in Miami. None of this, none of the

1:07:47.840 --> 1:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>math here works out in my favor right.

1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>And that waitress would tell a waitress you know from

1:07:53.840 --> 1:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>her mom's generation, they hit me on the ass, and

1:07:56.400 --> 1:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>they'd be like, that's all honey.

1:07:58.040 --> 1:08:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, congratulations, Like think about I mean, it sounds like

1:08:01.280 --> 1:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you had a first a good first night.

1:08:03.200 --> 1:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what is your is your manager?

1:08:05.640 --> 1:08:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Gaida?

1:08:05.960 --> 1:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>And like women, it's like, yeah, just a what a

1:08:09.920 --> 1:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>different world. And it wasn't that long ago, you know.

1:08:13.760 --> 1:08:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Before we wrap this thing up, I guess the question

1:08:17.439 --> 1:08:20.439
<v Speaker 2>on my mind. You you talked about the possibility that

1:08:20.640 --> 1:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Kwanta could become more powerful. You talked about the possibility

1:08:24.120 --> 1:08:29.480
<v Speaker 2>that Kwanta could be then overtaken by our white counterparts,

1:08:29.520 --> 1:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>that it would become sort of a universal holiday. My

1:08:32.479 --> 1:08:36.400
<v Speaker 2>question for you is do you think ultimately that would

1:08:36.439 --> 1:08:40.360
<v Speaker 2>be a good thing for the growth? Is the growth

1:08:40.400 --> 1:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>of this holiday worth the squeeze of it becoming national

1:08:44.600 --> 1:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>and subsequently slightly white, if not completely.

1:08:48.400 --> 1:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's nothing that's if you do not cross over

1:08:53.280 --> 1:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>in a popular culture. Popular culture is not only all cultures,

1:08:57.000 --> 1:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>but definitely white culture. You are going to hit you

1:09:00.280 --> 1:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you have a hard ceiling. Think about how many people

1:09:03.200 --> 1:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>are famous in the black community and people don't know

1:09:07.240 --> 1:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>who they are. You know, there's a lot, there's a

1:09:09.640 --> 1:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of if you don't cross that level into like

1:09:14.439 --> 1:09:16.479
<v Speaker 1>where a thirteen year old white kids know who you are,

1:09:16.840 --> 1:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven year old grad students know who you are.

1:09:21.040 --> 1:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>There is just a level to how far that you

1:09:23.400 --> 1:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>can go within any industry anything. It's just it's a

1:09:27.200 --> 1:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>numbers game.

1:09:27.960 --> 1:09:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Nick, you know who Alan pa is? You do? Okay,

1:09:31.920 --> 1:09:32.519
<v Speaker 2>next one of us?

1:09:34.360 --> 1:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>It's any one without trying, That's what That's what black

1:09:37.439 --> 1:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>dudes really feel like. You're trying like that. But yeah,

1:09:41.439 --> 1:09:47.479
<v Speaker 1>there's there's this past Thanksgiving. Just to keep it pretty recent,

1:09:48.320 --> 1:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I was floored at the number of people that had

1:09:52.240 --> 1:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>never tasted or heard of sweet potato pie. Never heard

1:09:57.320 --> 1:10:04.719
<v Speaker 1>of it, never heard of it, they heard a pumpkin pie.

1:10:05.360 --> 1:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Pumpkin pie is our culture, is like baseline for a

1:10:10.160 --> 1:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>holiday pie. Sweet potato pie is baseline, baseline for black

1:10:18.040 --> 1:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that's the ceiling. And when people my girl made it,

1:10:21.439 --> 1:10:23.479
<v Speaker 1>and when people tried it, they're like like they were

1:10:23.600 --> 1:10:26.600
<v Speaker 1>just like, why don't people eat this? It was just

1:10:26.680 --> 1:10:29.479
<v Speaker 1>like some of us, like you came out with Kiwi

1:10:29.680 --> 1:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>or something. They're like, oh, this is some weird you know.

1:10:32.200 --> 1:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It was just like try it, but yeah, it's going

1:10:36.080 --> 1:10:38.320
<v Speaker 1>to be popular. But it's like that's the same thing

1:10:38.439 --> 1:10:42.439
<v Speaker 1>with Kwansa. Is Kwanta gonna morph into pumpkin pies? They're

1:10:42.439 --> 1:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>going to stay sweet potato pie. And that's the question.

1:10:45.680 --> 1:10:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, I would love for Patty LaBelle to make my

1:10:47.800 --> 1:10:49.040
<v Speaker 3>kwantas so I'm not.

1:10:49.920 --> 1:10:53.439
<v Speaker 2>Patty LaBelle does Quanta pies. That'd be pretty cool.

1:10:53.720 --> 1:10:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Oh I can't imagine.

1:10:54.600 --> 1:10:59.719
<v Speaker 2>How could that be the crossover we've been waiting for. Patty,

1:11:00.560 --> 1:11:04.640
<v Speaker 2>get on the phone, baby girl. We've been calling you.

1:11:04.760 --> 1:11:08.320
<v Speaker 2>You gotta pick up. We got a lot of ideas

1:11:08.400 --> 1:11:12.400
<v Speaker 2>for you. Patty but more importantly, we want Quanta to

1:11:12.479 --> 1:11:14.920
<v Speaker 2>become very popular. I do worry about it, I guess

1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:17.639
<v Speaker 2>is maybe my my concern is that I do think

1:11:18.520 --> 1:11:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I think about it a lot in terms of larger

1:11:20.920 --> 1:11:25.080
<v Speaker 2>black conversations of how many things do we actually want

1:11:25.200 --> 1:11:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to become as universal as we claim that we do

1:11:29.479 --> 1:11:31.680
<v Speaker 2>that like and it's it's something we see often on

1:11:31.760 --> 1:11:36.200
<v Speaker 2>the Internet where people get upset when our culture becomes

1:11:36.360 --> 1:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>usurped and we feel like we deserve credit for the

1:11:39.880 --> 1:11:41.840
<v Speaker 2>thing that was a very popular thing with like these

1:11:41.920 --> 1:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>TikTok dances, where like black kids were creating these choreo, beautiful,

1:11:47.120 --> 1:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>choreographed dances, and then a white girl would go and

1:11:50.520 --> 1:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>do it and become much more popular off of this shit,

1:11:53.439 --> 1:11:57.360
<v Speaker 2>And a part of me goes, stop showing these motherfuckers

1:11:57.400 --> 1:12:00.719
<v Speaker 2>that shit, right, just keep it in house.

1:12:01.120 --> 1:12:04.439
<v Speaker 3>Do you do you think that the nature of kwansa though,

1:12:04.640 --> 1:12:07.840
<v Speaker 3>is a little different than even that of a Juneteenth,

1:12:07.880 --> 1:12:10.960
<v Speaker 3>where it's like June teenth is like a celebration of

1:12:11.040 --> 1:12:13.000
<v Speaker 3>a thing that happened in America, so it's able to

1:12:13.080 --> 1:12:16.080
<v Speaker 3>be co opted. Where kwans are specifically created to be

1:12:16.200 --> 1:12:21.400
<v Speaker 3>this like ped African ped africanist, like holiday. I don't

1:12:21.439 --> 1:12:24.000
<v Speaker 3>think that. I so to that, I guess say say

1:12:24.200 --> 1:12:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it scales up because I don't think

1:12:25.800 --> 1:12:26.559
<v Speaker 3>that they get on board.

1:12:26.680 --> 1:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think I excuse me, I was just having

1:12:30.120 --> 1:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>this thought. I think the real, real time example that

1:12:33.720 --> 1:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>we have of it is pride. Look how crossover straight

1:12:38.640 --> 1:12:42.040
<v Speaker 1>white ladies love pride and straight white guys go to

1:12:42.080 --> 1:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>pride because straight white ladies are a pride And I

1:12:44.760 --> 1:12:46.960
<v Speaker 1>know for a fact gay men that was like I

1:12:47.040 --> 1:12:49.519
<v Speaker 1>used to get my ass kicked, my boyfriend got his

1:12:49.600 --> 1:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>teeth knocked out because we were holding the hands in

1:12:52.040 --> 1:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty two in Green Bay, Wisconsin. And now to

1:12:55.360 --> 1:13:02.160
<v Speaker 1>see those same dudes at our parade, I'm sure infuriates them,

1:13:02.600 --> 1:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>but they're probably gay, younger LGBTQ plus folks that are like,

1:13:07.160 --> 1:13:09.519
<v Speaker 1>but this is what we want it. So it's the

1:13:10.080 --> 1:13:12.839
<v Speaker 1>it's the price of admission, and the price of admission

1:13:13.479 --> 1:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to be accepted by the greater United States or that

1:13:18.400 --> 1:13:22.960
<v Speaker 1>guy's culture, whatever is, you have to give up that

1:13:23.080 --> 1:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>this is ours, and you have to watch somebody who

1:13:26.000 --> 1:13:28.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't give a fuck about it commodify it and make

1:13:28.840 --> 1:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>money off it and act like they thought of And

1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I think.

1:13:31.320 --> 1:13:35.000
<v Speaker 2>That's really the the where I struggle with it is

1:13:35.120 --> 1:13:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the commodifying. I'm fine with it becoming a commodity we

1:13:39.800 --> 1:13:42.880
<v Speaker 2>all benefit from, but when it starts becoming the type

1:13:42.880 --> 1:13:46.519
<v Speaker 2>of commodity that like, truly only the motherfuckers that didn't

1:13:46.600 --> 1:13:49.400
<v Speaker 2>invest in it in the first place are the ones

1:13:49.479 --> 1:13:51.719
<v Speaker 2>making the money off of it, it gets scary.

1:13:51.880 --> 1:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's every look at the weed business, right, But yeah, it's.

1:13:55.960 --> 1:13:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Gonna be Coca Cola has a Kwanza flavor. And yeah,

1:14:00.240 --> 1:14:02.640
<v Speaker 3>it's hard to know where this starts and stops. But

1:14:02.720 --> 1:14:04.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think that's an American thing more so

1:14:04.880 --> 1:14:07.240
<v Speaker 3>than it's even a black thing. Is It's like, what's

1:14:07.439 --> 1:14:09.720
<v Speaker 3>what's being offered up in culture that isn't eventually going

1:14:09.800 --> 1:14:11.280
<v Speaker 3>to be co opted by corporations?

1:14:11.360 --> 1:14:14.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, And that's that's I pray if we

1:14:15.000 --> 1:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>can wrap this thing up, I pray that Quantza somehow

1:14:18.439 --> 1:14:22.040
<v Speaker 2>becomes the miracle holiday. If there is a miracle inside

1:14:22.040 --> 1:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of Quantsa, I think the miracle would be Kwanza some

1:14:26.400 --> 1:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>by some miracle being the first holiday that remains at

1:14:30.160 --> 1:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>its core fully black but also gains the popularity that

1:14:35.000 --> 1:14:37.559
<v Speaker 2>it deserves in unifying black people.

1:14:38.120 --> 1:14:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, lang Stance is the season I believe in this

1:14:40.720 --> 1:14:44.360
<v Speaker 3>Quanta Dave miracle. Hell yeah, Quanta day a week. What

1:14:44.439 --> 1:14:45.400
<v Speaker 3>do they call the Manura?

1:14:47.280 --> 1:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Then the Quanta stick.

1:14:56.720 --> 1:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>And yet and when you see it at Target and

1:14:58.920 --> 1:15:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it's made by Better Homes and Living. Yeah, you know

1:15:03.280 --> 1:15:05.439
<v Speaker 1>there are no African Americans on that board.

1:15:05.479 --> 1:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>When has a game for quantity?

1:15:08.280 --> 1:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Target always wants some white kids.

1:15:10.320 --> 1:15:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Stands up.

<v Speaker 1>I win, I'm the king of us. Good for him
