I was watching, like just ESPN 224 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: was just on in the background, and it was a 225 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: day after Dereck ro scored fifty points.

It's like, well, the literal trial of this 234 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 2: dude is kind of self inflicted, it seems. Anyway. I 235 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: remember watching those shows and it's so weird. You have 236 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 2: Sports Center, you have this the show about basketball, forget 237 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: the name of it, but it's like a you know, 238 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: one of those you know, the zone or whatever, you know, 239 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: the jump off or something, And so I'm watching it 240 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: and I can't and I couldn't help myself, but I thought, 241 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: I said, you know, what I actually need to see 242 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: high Noon Highly Questionable cover the story right, because nobody 243 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: else even touched the topic. Well, no, they did, they did, 244 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 2: they did talk about it, but it's just the other 245 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: it's just wild that I was waiting for the funny 246 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: shows to talk about it, because the funny shows are 247 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 2: the ones that actually have the most nuanced, the most intelligence. They, 248 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: you know, because being funny isn't about being funny, isn't 249 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: just about being funny. It's like jazz. Sometimes the notes 250 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: you're not playing right correct, So it's knowing when you 251 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: can step back and be like, well, hold up, we 252 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: need to think about this, you know what, how do 253 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: we put this in perspective? And it was just weird that, 254 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: but I've thought about that, and I said, oh, I 255 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: think I gravitate towards Dan Lebratard Bomani Pablo because they 256 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: actually can take something that's not, you know, that's kind 257 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: of serious and make it funny, and they can take 258 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: something that people are treating as just like regular and go, well, 259 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: let's look at this a little closer. And that's why 260 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: I fuck with them. And I think that translates to 261 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: our show as well, which is where I was going 262 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: with that.

For us, that's a that's 337 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: definitely a that's definitely not something I want to ever 338 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 2: present on the show because I can't live up to 339 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 2: those standards and I'm one of my own biggest critics, 340 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 2: so like, uh, And then there's just times you just 341 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: watch people. If you do this long enough and you 342 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 2: do it well enough, you should get introduced to more people, 343 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 2: more opinions. You should start, you should change. There's times where, 344 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 2: if you're being honest with yourself, you don't live up 345 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: to your own standards. There's times where you think about 346 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: stuff and you're an emotional person, and I think being 347 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: able to admit that there's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong 348 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: with being able to admit that, and if you can 349 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 2: admit it to yourself, then that's the first step. But 350 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: a lot of people don't even get to the first 351 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 2: step of being like, yo, I'm emotionally compromised about this thing, 352 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: or I just feel a certain way about something, and 353 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: I don't think I'm right, but I know how I 354 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: feel because correct. The truth is, most people can relate 355 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: to that. If everybody would just stop trying to act 356 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 2: I don't know perfect for everyone else, if they would 357 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: just beat themselves and be like, I'm not always on point, 358 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: and sometimes I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. 359 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 4: And sometimes all my opinions ain't gonna be woken, ain't 360 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 4: gonna be in line stepping. Sometimes how I feel about 361 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 4: something might be my truth, and it might not be 362 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 4: the wokest thing ever. But in some since, some instance, 363 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 4: I'm not willing to change my mind to get in 364 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,239 Speaker 4: line with the wokes because I don't agree with them 365 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 4: on certain things, and. 366 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 2: So and sometimes I just won't.

I remember in February and February 508 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: after Black Panther came out. What the fuck was the 509 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: name of that film. I didn't read the books, Yeah, 510 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: but everybody was shitting on that, like it was so bad, 511 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 2: and y'all only didn't y'all didn't like it because and 512 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 2: then this ship came out. And I ain't heard a 513 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 2: peep from nobody about these reviews. 514 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 4: But I've heard like like like people said the Nutcracker 515 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 4: and you even said that the story yourself is not 516 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 4: an entertaining story, like. 517 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: Just the story a regular time. 518 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, the story yourself is not an entertaining story. 519 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 4: So it's like, unless you're gonna actually just jazz it up, 520 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 4: it's not gonna be good. 521 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. And the thing is, it looks like they did 522 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 2: jazz it up. But sometimes it just feels so like 523 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 2: this doesn't really apply to anything like the Nutcracker in 524 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 2: the Four Books of Hell, and it's you know, rats 525 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 2: fighting each other with samurai saws and ship and it's like, 526 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: I don't don't think this is the thing that we 527 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 2: learned in school. 528 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 4: It's colorful, but you know, unless you're really going to 529 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 4: do something spectacular with it, this is probably one of 530 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 4: the ones that could have as far as bringing to 531 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 4: live action, could have skipped. 532 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, I didn't. We haven't seen it, but Lacata says, 533 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 2: or Lakita says, I wouldn't know. I, like Karen, have 534 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: never seen it all when we would go we would 535 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: go on field trips. I only remember that one song 536 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 2: and dance played in every commercial every year around Christmas 537 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 2: Dance or the Dance of the sugar Plums. I agree 538 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 2: Disney might make it cute and watchable. Finally, Brooklyn Shoebase says, 539 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: my daughters were really into the Nutcracker when they were 540 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 2: younger because they started taking ballet age three. My youngest, 541 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 2: who is now eleven years old and a serious dancer, 542 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 2: is offended by the new Disney Nutcracker Cracker concept. She's 543 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 2: all about the source material. She was yelling at the 544 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 2: trailer and the lack of her in her young way. 545 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: She was like fuck Disney. She was like, dang dance, 546 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 2: and she said, ballet is only not born when I'm 547 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: watching my daughter's dance. That's my baby on stage. Yeah, 548 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 2: come on, I don't think ballet is my thing, but 549 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I've seen like Misty Copeland do 550 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: it or whatever, and if she can't make it, you know, 551 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: my thing, then I feel like nobody can. So it's 552 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: just not for me. 553 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 4: I've never really got into ballet, to be told, it's 554 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 4: one of them things. From my perspective. It wasn't until 555 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 4: I got older did I realize that niggas did ballet, 556 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 4: Because every time I seen ballet was the slim, small 557 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 4: white girls up there balleting and towiland. So you know, 558 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 4: I do know that black people do do ballet.

What 684 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,280 Speaker 2: do you think of the father mentoring his son's bully. 685 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 2: That's the poll, that's the guy who took the sun 686 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 2: under his wing and stuff. What do you think about it? Karen? 687 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: It's inspirational, it's stupid, or it's dangerous. 688 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 4: It's inspirational, okay from his perspective. And it depends on 689 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 4: how you look at it, because some people may look 690 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 4: at it as being dangerous as somebody else's child. You know, 691 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 4: how do you know if their parents approve of this? 692 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,240 Speaker 4: You know, who are you to go help somebody else's child. 693 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 4: They're are professionals that are trained, you know, they get paid, 694 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 4: they got degrees to do this. So I could see 695 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 4: it being kind of a mixed bag for me. I 696 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 4: think it's inspirational, but I know that the way you know, 697 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 4: the internets and people function, I could also see this 698 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 4: positive thing quickly turning into something very negative. 699 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like the whole sex segment thing 700 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 2: we just talked about. I am not an expert, so 701 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 2: I don't really feel comfortable like making a segment out 702 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 2: of something because you know, I don't really know what 703 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 2: I'm talking about. So but with the but the same 704 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 2: thing with this guy, he's like not a professional mentor. 705 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 2: He is not a feeling with any programs. This is 706 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 2: just something that he feels God called him to do 707 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 2: to help this boy out who was bullying his son. 708 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 2: And yeah, I can see all three of these like people, 709 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,439 Speaker 2: I can see all three of these opinions people feel 710 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 2: in inspired by because hey, it's something new, it's something 711 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 2: that we don't really see it's a black kid, a 712 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 2: black man being a mentor to a black kid, and 713 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,240 Speaker 2: plus his own son is involved and there's no violence 714 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 2: and stuff. We often see parenting for the internet and 715 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 2: it's these horrific abuses and stuff, you know, side note, 716 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 2: not even side note. Can we stop? Can people stop 717 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 2: sharing videos of child abuse and asking people what they 718 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 2: think about it? Because I've seen that so many times 719 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 2: over my years on social media and stuff. And I 720 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 2: was just reminded of that this week because Stoer shared 721 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 2: a video like a black girl in a bikini like twerking, 722 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 2: and then the and then later the video cuts to 723 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 2: her father hitting her with a belt in the kitchen 724 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 2: while she still got the bikini on or whatever, and 725 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 2: it's like, you know that all teach him or something. 726 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 2: And then the other people are like, do you think 727 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 2: she went too hard?

That's not a fucking train wreck so that 768 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 4: you can chair and chair. So because it's going down 769 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 4: your timeline, you can't joke and you can't laugh, and 770 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 4: you can't you know, get your puns on. All of 771 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 4: a sudden, you know, it's almost like you waste while 772 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 4: y'all sharing this ship and I can't find anything to 773 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 4: crack a pope fun at it. So then you come 774 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 4: from a where you're sharing too much, and if that's 775 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 4: the case, nothing funny be consistent if that's too much, 776 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 4: then this is too much too Like if that's the case, 777 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 4: either both should be too much, like where's your line? 778 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: And then the other part of it is this, it's 779 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:44,439 Speaker 2: you know, I understand you putting the kids face out there. 780 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 2: I do understand. It's just I don't I think we've 781 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 2: normalized violence in a way that correct it is. So 782 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 2: it's not good to go, especially against children. You know, 783 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,240 Speaker 2: it's just not good. U Anyway, Luketta says, it appears 784 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 2: harmless and well intended and seems to have had a 785 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 2: positive effect on the other boy in his family. I 786 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,919 Speaker 2: hope it stays that way. Seventy seven percent of people 787 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 2: thought it was inspirational, eleven percent thought it was stupid, 788 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 2: in eleven percent thought it was dangerous. So there you go. 789 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 2: I think I'm more on the inspirational side as of 790 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 2: right now. You know, maybe it changes that she said, 791 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 2: but to me, I was like, oh cool, somebody's trying 792 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 2: to do something different, you know. Right, if this would 793 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 2: have just been a video of him making his son 794 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 2: fight that boy, they would have shared it a million 795 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,879 Speaker 2: times and been mad at that too. So right, all right. 796 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 2: We got no comments for episode seventeen seventy five, my 797 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 2: dear brother Nature dear spelled of course the eer. But 798 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 2: we did have a poll with comments. Should people hold 799 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,359 Speaker 2: those tweets against Brother Nature forever? This is when Brother 800 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 2: Nature at between twelve and fourteen years old, when he 801 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 2: was on Twitter, he was saying some real problematic shit, 802 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 2: you know, like hal Hitler white power and he's not 803 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 2: obviously not white. And I think it was ironic that 804 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 2: he said it did but still, you know, people don't 805 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 2: care about that. He said some shit about Chris Brown 806 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 2: all this stuff, So yes, it should be held against 807 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,879 Speaker 2: his twelve to fourteen year old self for the rest 808 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 2: of his life. Eight percent of y'all are to fuck 809 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 2: that shit. He should have never said it. 810 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,760 Speaker 4: I hope y'all never screwed up and did anything fucked 811 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 4: up in your lifetime at the age. 812 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 2: Of eight, well, twelve or fourteen, to be fair. 813 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 4: With twelve or fourteen. I hope you. I hope that 814 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 4: you did everything fucking perfect. I hope you did. I 815 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 4: hope you didn't fuck up at all at all. I 816 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 4: hope you did. I hope you got straight a's, you 817 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 4: obade your parents, you ain't wrong. I hope that you 818 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 4: was fucking perfect, because no child is perfect at that age. 819 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 2: Ninety two percent, the overwhelming majority said Nah, you can't 820 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 2: against forever. Uh Keana says it will be an out 821 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 2: of Some of us have said harbor to speakable things 822 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 2: not that long ago as adults. He was a kid. 823 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 2: Things that have grown up and it ain't that deep. 824 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 2: Brooklyn shoe Ba says, if you could have heard the 825 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 2: stupid and trash stuff I said in my teens in twenties, 826 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 2: uh acs would take away my kids. 827 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 4: It just wouldn't record it. That's that's the thing, and 828 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 4: that's what kills me sometimes about adults. Most people my 829 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 4: age are older, live in the age with shit wasn't recorded. 830 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 4: Shit wasn't recorded. There's no foul. There's nothing you can 831 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 4: pull up again to show you the fucked up and 832 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 4: foul shit that you said. And because of that, you 833 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 4: want to judge this generation and that like is a 834 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 4: fucking run strike you out. But you wouldn't want You 835 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 4: wouldn't want that standard place, don you. 836 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 2: It's people that can't admit they wrong about shit they 837 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 2: said today. Come on like, I don't like anyway. And 838 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,919 Speaker 2: he didn't double down or anything. 839 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 4: Right now, if he would have doubled down. Okay, that's cool, 840 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 4: but he was like, that's fucked up. Yes, but I 841 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 4: was twelve to fourteen nigga. 842 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 2: Right, And he didn't even personally say it that way, like, 843 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 2: but I was like, he literally was just like, yeah, 844 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 2: that was fucked up, and I apologize. And part of 845 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 2: the reason I'm trying to do what I do now 846 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 2: is to kind of turn my life around, to show 847 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 2: people that you don't have to. 848 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 4: Be like that, and people change. I hope you are 849 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 4: not the same person you was from twelve to fourteen. 850 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 4: Hormonal changes going on, getting to this Starna period, went drink, 851 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 4: all this crazy shit going on at that age. 852 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 2: Episode seventeen seventy six, Welcome to the Cookout, Magan Kelly 853 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 2: av He says, although I think Megan Kelly is racist, 854 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 2: I think she was saying provocative things on purpose to 855 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 2: get fired because she was getting guaranteed money and was 856 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 2: probably tired of the criticism she didn't get at Fox. 857 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 2: She finished the hell out of NBC, and they deserve 858 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 2: it for hire in the first place. I've heard that 859 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,760 Speaker 2: theory floated out, and maybe it is that simple. 860 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 4: I don't think it is. 861 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 2: You don't think it is okay, maybe it's that simp people, 862 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 2: and you're right that she wanted to get fired. I 863 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 2: personally do not think so. I would love to see 864 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 2: what that contract really worded, what it really is, because 865 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 2: I've heard speculation that she's gonna get all that money, 866 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 2: but I haven't really seen anyone say, like confirmed that 867 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 2: she would get that money correct. It'll be interesting to 868 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,359 Speaker 2: see how that works out too. I think both things 869 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 2: can be true. Where her show was struggling, she would 870 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 2: have been more comfortable on Fox, which she probably can 871 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 2: never go back to, or she can't go back to 872 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 2: anyway because she me tooed out of there. Everyone always 873 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 2: forgets she violated the code on her way out, which 874 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 2: was I am going to use some feminism to get 875 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 2: myself out of this off, out of this company. And 876 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:54,359 Speaker 2: I don't know that they allow her back. I don't 877 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 2: even know that. I'm not saying they want allow her back. 878 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 2: I don't know that she can keep her same fans 879 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 2: because a lot of the women that watched her show 880 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 2: were very much like those Trump supporting women who think that, 881 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 2: you know, it's not rape, rape, and what's wrong with 882 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 2: grabbing pussies? And you know Kavanaughs just being a bad boy. 883 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 2: I don't know that they still identify with Megan Kelly 884 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 2: because she's tried. She's to feminism as Kanye West as 885 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 2: the racism where she'll pull it out to protect herself. 886 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,439 Speaker 2: I guarantee she's gonna pull it out to make sure 887 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 2: she gets her money. Here like this will become a 888 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 2: feminist issue if she doesn't get her money, because you 889 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 2: can't like get rid of people like Less Moon Vest 890 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 2: and Harvey Weinstein and give them parachute payments on the 891 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 2: way out and not give me my money. So I 892 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 2: definitely can see how she might get her money, but 893 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 2: I don't so anyway. So I do think you know 894 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 2: she can get her money. She could. She was struggling, 895 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 2: she was, she was not doing good on that show. 896 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 2: She may have even wanted out possibly, and maybe your 897 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 2: conspiracy is right. I personally, though, do not think she 898 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 2: wanted out of show. And the reason I don't think 899 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,399 Speaker 2: she wanted out is the same reason I don't think 900 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,359 Speaker 2: a guy like Roger Sterling I think it's his name, 901 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 2: the dude who used to own the Clippers. I don't 902 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 2: think people like that have put their ego aside for 903 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 2: money because they're going to get They're going to get 904 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 2: the money anyway. In their minds, the money is theirs 905 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,399 Speaker 2: and they deserve it because they're great and they're better 906 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 2: than everybody else, and that money belongs to them because 907 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 2: of their own privilege and entitlement. So I don't think 908 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 2: it lines up with their worldview that they would want 909 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 2: to lose face in front of everyone, even if they 910 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 2: got all the money in the world. They would rather 911 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 2: keep the ego part going because the money to them 912 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,719 Speaker 2: is a given. So they're like, I want to keep 913 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 2: the show because it's my name, is my show, and 914 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 2: I know what I'm fucking doing. I don't care about 915 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 2: the ratings. I don't care that these sensitive cucks think 916 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 2: that my show isn't good and my interviews are too rough. 917 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 2: I'm Megan Kelly, bitch. This is my And so when 918 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 2: they get or they lose something like this, I think 919 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 2: that this is almost worse than not having the money 920 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 2: to people like this, right, they like if they had 921 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 2: a choice where they said, listen, you'll get half the 922 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 2: money that you are old, but you will get to 923 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 2: keep your TV show even with terrible ratings and reviews. 924 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 2: We won't be able to take it away from you. 925 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 2: I think she picked that, that's you know, and I 926 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 2: think the same way I think Donald Sterlin doesn't. I 927 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 2: think Donald Sterling would have rather had the clippers than 928 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 2: that fucking six billion dollars or whatever. Like he took 929 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 2: that six billion dollars regretsingly, because the worst thing for 930 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 2: a rich, entitled white person is to be told no, 931 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 2: that's worse. That's worse than the fucking money thing. They're 932 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 2: gonna be rich and tide of white people no matter what. 933 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 2: So we have to take that off the table because 934 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 2: everyone thinks there's gonna be like this financial cost of 935 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 2: being racist, and it never is, and not for this 936 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,719 Speaker 2: level of racism. So we have to stop that pipe 937 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 2: dream shit. I mean, feel how you feel about it, 938 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 2: but it's it's a pipe dream to be like, hey, 939 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 2: they was gonna come get her chair, Like, no, they weren't. 940 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 2: No matter what happened, she could say nigger, nigga, nigga 941 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 2: on the air, she was probably gonna get secure some 942 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 2: type of bag. I don't know what the language says 943 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 2: if that's the case. But losing the show, that's the 944 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 2: part they never put in their plans, Losing face in 945 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 2: front of everyone, you know, everyone's seeing that failure and 946 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 2: they can't deny that's the part they don't like. So 947 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 2: that's how I felt about it. The other conspiracy that's 948 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 2: been floating around to is the people saying she didn't 949 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 2: know that black face was wrong. I like, watch the 950 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,279 Speaker 2: segment again because some people, I think have lost the 951 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,800 Speaker 2: context of the discussion. She knew it was wrong because 952 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:53,320 Speaker 2: the conversation was it was wrong. The segment wasn't even 953 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,080 Speaker 2: about something else. It was. It's not that she lucked 954 00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:02,399 Speaker 2: into saying something offensive. The whole fucking thing was blackface 955 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,760 Speaker 2: is offensive. But I don't accept that. So you can't 956 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 2: even do the like how she's supposed to know black 957 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 2: faces wrong. She brought up an example at the end 958 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:18,440 Speaker 2: of Another Woman just last year, having a controversy over blackface. 959 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 2: You can't have the example on deck on a fucking 960 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 2: TV show, which means they did prep work to bring 961 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 2: that picture on the screen. You have to So you 962 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,439 Speaker 2: have to keep your mind sharp while you're watching this shit, 963 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 2: because what happens is we, especially with white women, our 964 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,239 Speaker 2: natural instincts in them as Americans and the white supremacist, 965 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 2: patriarchal capitalist society is to turn around and say to 966 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 2: infantilize white women, to put victimhood, to put that cloak 967 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 2: of They didn't really mean it.

She meant it. She didn't make 1001 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 2: it that long in this industry as a newswoman. I 1002 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,920 Speaker 2: bet you money. Now, I personally will not take the 1003 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 2: time because I didn't watch her show. But I bet 1004 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 2: you guys money, if you watched enough of her Fox show, 1005 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 2: someone could figure out on YouTube and put a complete 1006 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 2: collection of all the clips of her covering black face 1007 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 2: stories for the last twenty years because blackface is Halloween 1008 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 2: is always a story. It's always been a story. And 1009 00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 2: I bet you money she's talked about this topic before 1010 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,799 Speaker 2: on her the show. So to say that she did 1011 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,800 Speaker 2: not know it was racist is a lie in something 1012 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 2: that you're giving her because she's a white woman. That's it. 1013 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 2: There's not another deeper layer to it. She's not ignorant, 1014 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 2: she's not stupid, she's a worldly woman. She's in the 1015 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,720 Speaker 2: news media this story, I guarant fucking tee it. There's 1016 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 2: footage of her talking about this before. This is the 1017 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 2: same woman that did the Santa Claus is white, the 1018 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 2: same woman that said Jesus is white, the same woman 1019 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 2: that said that the black women who were arrested by 1020 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 2: the police were no angels and they were children. The 1021 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,879 Speaker 2: same woman that blamed saintra Bland for her own death. 1022 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,800 Speaker 2: This woman is a racist. She's just a blond, smiling, 1023 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 2: traditionally attractive in the ways that most white people consider 1024 00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,000 Speaker 2: what's attractive racist and that's it. We don't need to 1025 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 2: give her any extra room or rope. She's just a racist, 1026 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 2: and good fucking riddance.

Yes, she's trying to go 1028 00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,120 Speaker 2: viral and reach racist Now, see that's what I think happened. 1029 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 2: I'mna be honest to get ring. The only conspiracy I 1030 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,440 Speaker 2: believe is that she thinks she can appeal to the 1031 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 2: Roseanne bar type, you know, tim the two man Taylor 1032 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,240 Speaker 2: type people. But guess what they not watching? 1033 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 4: Uh up, they're not up in the morning watching a 1034 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 4: ten to two show like that, like that that bud 1035 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 4: you're talking about stay at home moms.

Right? They could 1039 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,840 Speaker 2: watch the show. They're not watching her show because she 1040 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 2: also chrows that line of using feminism when it's convenient. 1041 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 2: That's why they're not. She she is at the nexus 1042 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 2: of all the things that are unlikable. Right. If she 1043 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,080 Speaker 2: went full Hill and was all the way like I'll 1044 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,359 Speaker 2: make America great again, I love Trump, then she might 1045 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 2: get some of those people correct. But she won't because 1046 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 2: she doesn't like Trump insaulted her. Uh and she she 1047 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,280 Speaker 2: has a personal level of like feminist force field around 1048 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,600 Speaker 2: her for just her shit. Now nobody else is just 1049 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 2: her shit, and that's just enough. To piss off the 1050 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,359 Speaker 2: white women that you know like. They like Trump, they 1051 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 2: like Kavanaugh.

I hope she gets a fucking discrimination case. 1092 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,840 Speaker 2: Come out all of it, and they have to settle 1093 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 2: and give her more. I hope all all of it, 1094 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,880 Speaker 2: because whoever made this decision deserves to be fired as well. 1095 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 2: Come out and it should be and everyone should be like, 1096 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,879 Speaker 2: this is why we don't deal with fucking overt racist 1097 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,759 Speaker 2: at our job. Laketta says, like most white women, she's 1098 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,120 Speaker 2: comfortable in her forty seven years of unchecked racism. That's 1099 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 2: why she was so surprised about the reaction to her 1100 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 2: harmless from Mark. Yeah, it felt genuine to me. That's 1101 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,560 Speaker 2: the only time she's ever felt genuine on that fucking 1102 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,440 Speaker 2: show being racist. I said, oh, now see that's the 1103 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 2: real making Kelly. You could have. 1104 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,160 Speaker 4: Right, right, because any other time that shit felt stiff. 1105 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 2: The pole I mean.

She's a filthy slave trader all because of Juncti. 1117 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,480 Speaker 2: CON's too lazy, it's stupid to grow their own food. 1118 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 2: She is literally and figuratively trash. I hope she accidentally 1119 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 2: gets killed by one of her art projects, Peace Turk. 1120 00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 2: You know what she just made me think about Turk. 1121 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 2: What if the people she's trading whoever she's trading people with, 1122 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,440 Speaker 2: is Georgie's colony. That would put a twist on everything 1123 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 2: if Georgie Colony does slave trading on the back, on 1124 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 2: the back end of everything, right, like they present one 1125 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 2: face to Maggie and it turned out anyway. Ps Who 1126 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 2: knows how many other groups she knows about because she 1127 00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 2: said that they take, but don't bother. I support a 1128 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 2: group as big as the Juncti cons To support a 1129 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,360 Speaker 2: group as big as a Juncti cons that to take 1130 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,200 Speaker 2: a lot, which means she could have had access to 1131 00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,600 Speaker 2: groups all over DC, Virginia, Maryland area. She's dangerous. Yeah, 1132 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 2: and by take, I guess you meant take people too. 1133 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:59,520 Speaker 2: Come and which is a bother technically Heavyweight says, while 1134 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,240 Speaker 2: rebuilding is a logical next step, I feel like one 1135 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 2: of the major draws of the show is a chaos 1136 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 2: and anarchy. I think that a lot of people fantasize 1137 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,320 Speaker 2: about living lawless, forgetting that Survival of the Fitness wouldn't 1138 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 2: include them. I'm loving this pacing. I thought we wouldn't 1139 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 2: find out who was doing the killing until season break. 1140 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 2: I'm betting they let little Rachel kill Jacob and that's 1141 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,960 Speaker 2: why he got the hit in the chest instead of 1142 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 2: the head. I'm gonna need Gabe to sack up and 1143 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 2: hit him with the Alicia Keys voice I won't tell 1144 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 2: your secrets. And now he's stepping in front of her 1145 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 2: before the fight with the Saviors and line for her. 1146 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 2: I hope she knocked some sensit to him with that 1147 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,440 Speaker 2: radio to the head. I don't disagree that working together 1148 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 2: to rebuild is the right decision, but after phil Rick 1149 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 2: is pushing too hard to make all the groups work together. 1150 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,200 Speaker 2: It seems like he's willing to set the unity of 1151 00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,480 Speaker 2: the other three groups oh to let the unity of 1152 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 2: the other groups see groups dissolved to force the Savior 1153 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 2: square pag into a round hole, and it seems more 1154 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,439 Speaker 2: out of spite to Nigan this right and wrong. I'm 1155 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 2: cool with Rick decided not to kill the Saviors, but 1156 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 2: you can't take that choice away from everyone else who 1157 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,640 Speaker 2: had all the reasons in the world and expect things 1158 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 2: to go Smoothe Yeah, well, I will say this though, 1159 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 2: I don't think it's out of spite to Ningga. I 1160 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 2: think it's more about Carl, right, because I think he 1161 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 2: really wakes up every day and wants to kill Nigga 1162 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 2: and then it goes Carl wouldn't want that, correct, especially 1163 01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 2: considering the methods they chose to bring these communities to 1164 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 2: under subjugation. The Saviors struck first, or all the groups 1165 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,920 Speaker 2: in the area. If Daryl hadn't put had the RPG 1166 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,560 Speaker 2: on the back of the gas truck, little Timmy and 1167 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 2: Dick Brigrade would have killed Abe and being at Alexandria 1168 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 2: that night with all the Saviors, and that's before the 1169 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 2: compound raid, I honestly don't see how you can make 1170 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 2: them fit looking forward to next week. Well, everyway, you 1171 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,600 Speaker 2: was right, bro, because that nobody wanted to see that apparently, Well, 1172 01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 2: the older side lady stopped killing saviors. Now no one 1173 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 2: should start, you can't stop, or yes, they've satisfied their revenge. 1174 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,840 Speaker 2: Seventy percent think they're gonna keep killing saviors. They said 1175 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,280 Speaker 2: it was the last one, but you know who knows. 1176 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,120 Speaker 2: But now I don't think they can stop because the 1177 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,160 Speaker 2: Saviors figured out who's been killing them, so now it's 1178 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,680 Speaker 2: a war. And yes, they satisfied their avenge. Thirty percent 1179 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:16,440 Speaker 2: thought the ladies would keep their word. So episode seventeen 1180 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,400 Speaker 2: seventy eight, this whole got roaches in her career. Our 1181 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,280 Speaker 2: book review.

Like, I just you know, they they 1187 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 2: seem to be on the up and up and be cool, 1188 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 2: but I don't know what their story editing is gonna 1189 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 2: look like. I don't even know if any of our 1190 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 2: shit's gonna make the story because the story ain't about us. 1191 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,240 Speaker 2: It's about Kwanmells and who is he in real life? 1192 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 2: And what the fuck is he? Representing how is he 1193 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,160 Speaker 2: making a living doing this shit? 1194 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 4: So we don't know how much or if any like 1195 01:01:58,520 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 4: how they're gonna chop all. 1196 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,840 Speaker 2: Any of this right, So only thing we did was 1197 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:07,080 Speaker 2: really talk about the book and you know, and just 1198 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 2: kind of black shit, like the fine line between entertaining 1199 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 2: black folks and being representative to black folks and what 1200 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 2: responsibility of any there is to that. People feel about it? 1201 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:26,040 Speaker 2: H Aquilla right saying, Hi, Rod and Karen, this review 1202 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,240 Speaker 2: was everything. I haven't read the book and I'm not 1203 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 2: sure if I will, but I cackle throughout the whole review. 1204 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,560 Speaker 2: I really liked the way you broke the book down 1205 01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 2: and highlighted the nuanced approach to what was supposed to Beniglatcha. 1206 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 2: Rod's comparison of roaches to ants took me all the 1207 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 2: way down. I was laughing so hard that the person 1208 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 2: in the office next door came to see if I 1209 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,840 Speaker 2: was okay. I owe you out a five star review, 1210 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 2: so I'm gonna go do that before I forget, and 1211 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 2: you did it. Thank you. Thanks for all that you do, Aquilla, 1212 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:56,120 Speaker 2: thank you, thank you. Yeah. I mean, look, I enjoyed 1213 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,919 Speaker 2: the fuck out of that book. Like the cover from 1214 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 2: the cover and stuff. I thought it would actually be 1215 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 2: worse than it was as quality or whatever, you know, 1216 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 2: But I still I still enjoyed it the way I 1217 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 2: enjoyed loving hip hop, like it was nothing. I didn't 1218 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,320 Speaker 2: take no lessons with me. I did not feel like 1219 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:17,920 Speaker 2: it was a positive portrayal of blackness necessarily or anything 1220 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,520 Speaker 2: like that, but it was entertaining to me. Yes, Brooklyn 1221 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 2: shoe Bay says, I didn't read the book, but your 1222 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 2: recap had me in throw out. I need to know 1223 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 2: what happened. Also, I did feel a way because my 1224 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,479 Speaker 2: government named Ryan's with Fred Klisha. Oh, I'm not gonna 1225 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:37,240 Speaker 2: guess what it is. But Joe writes in why am 1226 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,880 Speaker 2: I still thinking about that poor little fictitious girl three 1227 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 2: days after listening to that review. Is kwal Mills that 1228 01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,439 Speaker 2: good a writer? Or did Rod and Karen once again 1229 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 2: succeed in pulling reason out of ratchet? I was this 1230 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 2: close to purchasing the story for myself. The author has 1231 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy reviews on Amazon. But the author 1232 01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,440 Speaker 2: picture snapped me back to reality. Yeah, that that was 1233 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 2: such a weird picture for him to pick. The one 1234 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 2: with the dude is tongue hanging out. I don't know 1235 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 2: if everybody in that picture. 1236 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 4: Of it, because that's what that's what I thought, they looked. 1237 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I mean I didn't think that was him. 1238 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 2: I just thought, what a It's like, I think he 1239 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,040 Speaker 2: must have just googled the ratchet and just that was 1240 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 2: the first and that would make sense. I'm going to 1241 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,360 Speaker 2: listen to Rodd's interview with the author and didn't decide, 1242 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 2: I like, how much thought y'all are putting into getting 1243 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,840 Speaker 2: this book or not? This was not an ad for 1244 01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 2: the book or. 1245 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,960 Speaker 4: Like should I should? I not right. 1246 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:28,880 Speaker 2: It's like if you didn't read it for the book club, 1247 01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 2: I don't know why you would read it now. I mean, 1248 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 2: you know, do what you want to do, But I 1249 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 2: don't know, Like that was it. The poe was do 1250 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 2: you think Kwan Mills hates black women? Yes? No? Or 1251 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 2: I haven't decided. Cam, what do you think you don't 1252 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 2: think he hates them? Hmm? I don't know. Even at 1253 01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 2: the interviewing him, I feel like it's the thing where 1254 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,919 Speaker 2: I feel like he has issues with black women, even 1255 01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 2: if he wouldn't admit me. But I have never met 1256 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,720 Speaker 2: a person that admit they have issues with black women. 1257 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,080 Speaker 2: Nobody thinks they have issues with black women. Multiple times, 1258 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,040 Speaker 2: I've had conversations with people no one thinks they have 1259 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 2: issues with women period, but especially black women. So multiple 1260 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,439 Speaker 2: times I've interviewed guys that I thought definitely have hang 1261 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:18,040 Speaker 2: ups about black women, you know, as shay V. I 1262 01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,960 Speaker 2: interview him for a medium talk, and to me, it's 1263 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 2: blatantly obvious that they do has issues. I was surprised 1264 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 2: that Kwan Mills did not see that criticism even coming, 1265 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 2: like he felt like, where are these people even getting 1266 01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,800 Speaker 2: this from? To me, I'm like, look at your covers, 1267 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,240 Speaker 2: look at the titles. For those that only know that 1268 01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,440 Speaker 2: part privilege, how can Yeah, it's definitely privilege. My ability 1269 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,080 Speaker 2: to interview him is privileged because I'm sure if I 1270 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:47,439 Speaker 2: was a black you know, there's a lot of black 1271 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 2: women got mad and cuss his ass off. I hung up, 1272 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,400 Speaker 2: and you know, I'm kind of shielded by that that 1273 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:58,280 Speaker 2: male privilege where I'm like, okay, well explain that. Okay, 1274 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 2: so you don't see this all right, Well, got to 1275 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,120 Speaker 2: move on to the next thing. I don't want to 1276 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 2: do this for an hour. But I don't know, I 1277 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 2: don't know if it's hates I think hates is obviously 1278 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 2: a strong word. I did create the pole, but I 1279 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,640 Speaker 2: think he definitely has issues. Though I think he got 1280 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,480 Speaker 2: issues around black women, I would agree, And I think 1281 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:23,160 Speaker 2: it's more about just blackness in general, because there's a 1282 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 2: classism and a judgment that he has. I don't find 1283 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 2: it to be unique. I think I think he's representative 1284 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,080 Speaker 2: of a lot of black folks, black people in my 1285 01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 2: family that are like, I don't know why these you know, 1286 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,160 Speaker 2: poor black people keep killing each other. We used to 1287 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 2: be poor, and you gotta get you gotta not do 1288 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,280 Speaker 2: shit like that. You can't go to prison, you know. Like, 1289 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 2: I don't think what he's saying is so like necessarily controversial, 1290 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,560 Speaker 2: but I think the fact that you're kind of you've 1291 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 2: monetized that judgment, You've monetized that kind of class's approach 1292 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 2: to some of this the cause. You know, if you 1293 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,800 Speaker 2: look at the titles, they are like section eight, whole, 1294 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 2: Gut a hole, CNA whole, Like it's all it's like, 1295 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:15,280 Speaker 2: you know this bitch, So it is like it like 1296 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 2: to to be the kind of person that's comfortable profiting 1297 01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 2: off of that. I don't know how you can turn 1298 01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,560 Speaker 2: around and say you have no issues. I just don't 1299 01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,680 Speaker 2: know how it's, you know, And I don't know that 1300 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,520 Speaker 2: he's that unique or different because look at hip hop, 1301 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 2: you know, half my favorite artists can't finish a sentence 1302 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 2: without calling somebody a bitch or a whole or even 1303 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,560 Speaker 2: if it's you know, the universal bitch that we all like, 1304 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,800 Speaker 2: I'm not just talking about a woman, talking about anybody. 1305 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,280 Speaker 2: Even then, it still is a thing, you know. I 1306 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,760 Speaker 2: love Kendrick Kendrick. Kendrick's gonna be a misogynist by nature. 1307 01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 2: I love a lot of artists, you know, women and 1308 01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,000 Speaker 2: men too. This is just even a man thing. And 1309 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,360 Speaker 2: I do think this genre is misogynistic and very like 1310 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:04,080 Speaker 2: it profits, it profit, it makes money off of anti blackness. 1311 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 2: The genre does right the same way like I love it. 1312 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 2: Hip hop does the same way, like it makes money 1313 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 2: off of this this kind of portrayal of blackness that 1314 01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 2: some people would feel uncomfortable with or whatever. So I 1315 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,720 Speaker 2: don't know all like all of that to say, like, 1316 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,679 Speaker 2: I do think he has issues. I hate maybe too strong, 1317 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 2: But I don't know how you can. I don't know 1318 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 2: how you cannot feel that he has issues, you know, 1319 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 2: like him dating a black woman that's not really anything 1320 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 2: here or there. I mean, maybe that proves that he 1321 01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,080 Speaker 2: that his book called My My Bad White Bitch. Maybe 1322 01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,880 Speaker 2: he's looking at it that way, like to see this 1323 01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,880 Speaker 2: proves that I'm not just out here dating white women 1324 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,360 Speaker 2: because I think black women ain't shit. Yeah, maybe you 1325 01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,519 Speaker 2: might feel that way that that that is disproven, But 1326 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 2: I don't know that it disproves that you like don't 1327 01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:57,679 Speaker 2: have issues around black women. 1328 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,840 Speaker 4: Right. It's a lot of dudes that mary have two 1329 01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 4: and then maybe Mama's and stuff with black women that 1330 01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 4: still don't like them. 1331 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:09,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. So but uh, the pole, yes, twenty percent things 1332 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,880 Speaker 2: he does hate black women, forty percent says no, they 1333 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,000 Speaker 2: don't think he hates black women, and forty percent haven't 1334 01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,760 Speaker 2: decided yet. I'm probably not haven't decided yet. Kep in 1335 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:19,760 Speaker 2: that I would need to read more of his shit 1336 01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 2: to really feel like, Okay, this dude just fucking has 1337 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 2: issues with it. That's understandable, you know. But I didn't 1338 01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:31,400 Speaker 2: get that vibe from this book, particularly because I felt 1339 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,559 Speaker 2: like all the bad shit was heaped onder like one person, 1340 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,080 Speaker 2: Fred Kushan, and you know, maybe her little crewe of people, 1341 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 2: and then you had a bunch of other black women 1342 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,200 Speaker 2: in the book that weren't fucked up, So you know, 1343 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,720 Speaker 2: it's hard to get it from this way, But I 1344 01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:48,320 Speaker 2: don't know, Man, look at those titles. Man, it's uh, 1345 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,240 Speaker 2: it's kind of that chicken and egg thing. Like what's 1346 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 2: worse to not be misogynistic quote unquote, like to not 1347 01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 2: be a person that hates black women and the profit 1348 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 2: off of that language, or to be a person that 1349 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,800 Speaker 2: hates black women and then lie and say you don't well, 1350 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,920 Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, Like to me, it's almost 1351 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,879 Speaker 2: worse to be like, nah, I actually don't have these issues. 1352 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,040 Speaker 2: I don't do that. But I just realize people buy books. 1353 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 2: If you do call them that, it's almost worse, you know, 1354 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:21,960 Speaker 2: because it's like it's very conscious decision you made that. Well, 1355 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,599 Speaker 2: I'm gonna live my life one way and my books, 1356 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 2: I mean, fuck it. If you want to buy a 1357 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 2: book that you want to buy a book, what am 1358 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 2: I gonna say? It's a remarket, you know, Like, and 1359 01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:31,600 Speaker 2: I had to think about it personally because like, I 1360 01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 2: would never name our show something that I thought, you 1361 01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:37,599 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like that would be like if 1362 01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 2: we named every episode of the show like stupid Hoes 1363 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 2: and Bitches Part three and but but our downloads went 1364 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,800 Speaker 2: up to a million downloads of episode. I would not 1365 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,600 Speaker 2: be able to do that, Like I would feel a 1366 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 2: way about that shit. Even if we got rich, I'd 1367 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,240 Speaker 2: be like, yeah, it's not worth being rich if this 1368 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 2: is how I gotta do it. So you know, it's 1369 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 2: very much a business decision. It sounds like correct booklet. 1370 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,240 Speaker 2: Shoe Ba says, no, but I feel like a big 1371 01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:05,200 Speaker 2: woman broke his heart. 1372 01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:06,600 Speaker 4: Ah. 1373 01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 2: Joe Spacey says this might be like what rappers used 1374 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:11,200 Speaker 2: to say, he doesn't hate all of them, but just 1375 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,600 Speaker 2: those over there. Yeah, it did feel like that. The 1376 01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,800 Speaker 2: interview felt like when Snoop Dogg used to be like, Nah, 1377 01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 2: I'm just talking about hoes and bitches, not women. It's like, mmm, really, bro, 1378 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 2: have you thought about that sentence? 1379 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 4: Uh? 1380 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,760 Speaker 2: Like, would you take that as a racist person telling 1381 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 2: you I'm only talking about certain types of Niggers but 1382 01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,600 Speaker 2: not black people? You would not accept that as a reasoning. Uh. 1383 01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:38,160 Speaker 2: Laketta says, I personally feel uncomfortable with the language he uses. 1384 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:42,280 Speaker 2: Weren'tferring to specific women or types of women. Yeah, and 1385 01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,719 Speaker 2: then that's also the genre because we read other books 1386 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:47,799 Speaker 2: and that is the genre. 1387 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 4: That's the whole genre. Like yeah, and some people need 1388 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,000 Speaker 4: to come to realization that that's that the genre and 1389 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 4: that's so cay. 1390 01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:55,679 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1391 01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:55,920 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1392 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:57,400 Speaker 2: There were people that were like, you know, I didn't 1393 01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 2: want to read this book specifically because I don't like 1394 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,800 Speaker 2: this genre. And I understood that, you know. And there's 1395 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:04,840 Speaker 2: also people that are gonna only have issues because he 1396 01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,720 Speaker 2: has a male pen name that if he like I said, 1397 01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:09,200 Speaker 2: if he were to say his name, like, he has 1398 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:14,640 Speaker 2: a writing partner in DA something, and I guarantee you 1399 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 2: don't see as much with her like because people think, 1400 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,839 Speaker 2: well she's a woman.

I don't know that white people aren't necessarily the 1453 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:13,280 Speaker 2: best people to to emulate when it comes to selling shit, 1454 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,680 Speaker 2: but there's definitely a double standard on black shit. That 1455 01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,240 Speaker 2: was kind of what we talked about a lot was 1456 01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:21,400 Speaker 2: just there is a double standard that if you do 1457 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:25,519 Speaker 2: some black shit, it's representative of everybody. And while people 1458 01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,920 Speaker 2: pretend that you don't need to be positive and it 1459 01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 2: doesn't need to have a message, they say that, but 1460 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 2: then they don't act like that. When you write something 1461 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 2: that's black, they always add an extra level of why 1462 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 2: come insecure and using condoms, as opposed to just if 1463 01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:41,599 Speaker 2: it was some white show, we would just watch it, 1464 01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,160 Speaker 2: we wouldn't talk about the condoms because we wouldn't feel 1465 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,559 Speaker 2: this extra pressure of why isn't your show telling a 1466 01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,400 Speaker 2: good message to your grown ass audience who already knows 1467 01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:54,639 Speaker 2: about fucking STDs. Why isn't it educating them as well? 1468 01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,680 Speaker 2: Why it can't just be entertaining. So it is that 1469 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:02,479 Speaker 2: double standard that exists. But even with all that, you know, 1470 01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:05,920 Speaker 2: he's chosen a path. Like I said, the only part 1471 01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 2: that really surprised me was him feeling uncomfortable with the criticisms, 1472 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,840 Speaker 2: because I thought that when I talked to him he 1473 01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:16,200 Speaker 2: would be like, oh, no, I understand what I'm doing 1474 01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,639 Speaker 2: and I'm making money, so I don't give a fuck, 1475 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:21,719 Speaker 2: you know, That's what I thought he's going to basically 1476 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,240 Speaker 2: be like, like, these motherfuckers say they don't want this, 1477 01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 2: but then why the fuck am my rich? You know, 1478 01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 2: Like I thought he was gonna basically that was gonna 1479 01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:32,080 Speaker 2: be his argument, but like. 1480 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:33,960 Speaker 4: He wasn't prepared, like I put it out there and 1481 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 4: just not know what to expect it. 1482 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,840 Speaker 2: They be like, oh shit, yeah. And maybe it's because 1483 01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,720 Speaker 2: he had studied the genre and he thought, well, these 1484 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 2: other people don't receive this. But I mean, that's why 1485 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,320 Speaker 2: all y'all nigga's using pen names, because what y'all doing 1486 01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,160 Speaker 2: is something that you really don't want to attach to 1487 01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 2: your government name because it's not gonna be received as 1488 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 2: professional or good in a lot of cases, even if 1489 01:16:55,200 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 2: you did make money. You know. Anyway, you got one 1490 01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:04,800 Speaker 2: more episode. It was Darryl and Rick stuck in the 1491 01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 2: rut our recap of Walking Dead, and the comments were 1492 01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 2: from the Truth eighty two, who says great recap is 1493 01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,719 Speaker 2: always the whole The whole whole scene was so frustrating. 1494 01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:20,160 Speaker 2: That's all I got up the good work. Lol. Oh 1495 01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,559 Speaker 2: and I thought the Dead Walkers Maggie came across on 1496 01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:25,800 Speaker 2: her way to Alexander were a result of Micheon's late 1497 01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:29,000 Speaker 2: night target practicing. Oh maybe that, Yeah, it could have 1498 01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,599 Speaker 2: been that. I don't know what that hatchet got there for, 1499 01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:32,479 Speaker 2: but could have been that. 1500 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,680 Speaker 4: What do you think could have been that? Or I 1501 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 4: I think, in my opinion because maybe just me, they 1502 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,639 Speaker 4: purposely did it during the daytime. I really do think 1503 01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 4: that was the Saviors going through. Do you remember how 1504 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:45,680 Speaker 4: the Saviors walked up at the camp and they was 1505 01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,479 Speaker 4: telling them, oh, we found out who uh the ocean 1506 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:51,519 Speaker 4: side was fucking people up. I think that Maggie had 1507 01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,000 Speaker 4: probably just missed them Saviors walking through the camp. 1508 01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,559 Speaker 2: Okay, Eve, he says, I honestly don't know how Rick 1509 01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,200 Speaker 2: isn't going to get eating. I really don't want such 1510 01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 2: an iconic character to go out that way. He deserves 1511 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:05,000 Speaker 2: to go in Michean's loving arms. But unless they pull 1512 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 2: a Glenn under the garbage camp move, I don't see 1513 01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,280 Speaker 2: how he is a walker food. Yes, it's interesting because 1514 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 2: I was just the fire starter in tone with saying 1515 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,120 Speaker 2: the exact obviously like he better get eaten. So I 1516 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 2: don't really feel strongly about it either way, to be honest, 1517 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:20,840 Speaker 2: like whether he gets eating or not, it's kind of 1518 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,920 Speaker 2: like whatever, because I mean, he gonna die or not 1519 01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,519 Speaker 2: die like I kind of hope they actually leave room 1520 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,200 Speaker 2: for him to be alive and come back to the 1521 01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:31,559 Speaker 2: show later, because I honestly don't want to show that 1522 01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:35,519 Speaker 2: like this, to just lose such a major character in 1523 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,160 Speaker 2: this kind of way, and especially since we know the 1524 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:42,080 Speaker 2: outside story, which is that he just wants off of 1525 01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:45,160 Speaker 2: the show because he's tired of doing it, you know, 1526 01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,680 Speaker 2: So that kind of sucks. Yeah, it just kind of 1527 01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:50,479 Speaker 2: sucks that real life gets in the way because in 1528 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,280 Speaker 2: the comic book, obviously we would never have to worry 1529 01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 2: about that. Should they kiss kill Nighan? Yes, he needs 1530 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:56,960 Speaker 2: to die, No, he needs to live. 1531 01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:03,479 Speaker 4: Care I guess leep him going either way, but truthfully, yeah, 1532 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:04,080 Speaker 4: you need to go. 1533 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 2: Seventy four percent of the audience agrees with you. Twenty 1534 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:12,080 Speaker 2: five percent says he needs to live. So I don't 1535 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 2: know if they just attracted Jeffery Deane Morgan and want 1536 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:19,360 Speaker 2: him Acheane to swirl it up or what, But it 1537 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 2: sounds like some of y'all are not in the camp 1538 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:25,840 Speaker 2: of U Niga needs to go.

Annapolis 1591 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 2: has a lot of history because it's the oldest city 1592 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,080 Speaker 2: in the state of Maryland. It was also one of 1593 01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,679 Speaker 2: the most used posts during slavery ports during slavery AnyWho. 1594 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,519 Speaker 2: The hotel was hosting this conference had a display called 1595 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,080 Speaker 2: fourteen Presidents before Washington that showcased all the presidents of 1596 01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:37,320 Speaker 2: the Continental Congress before George Washington.

I recently found out that 1610 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,519 Speaker 2: I have fibroys, and it really complicates my chances of 1611 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,880 Speaker 2: getting pregnant. I went on Twitter to ask a question 1612 01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,040 Speaker 2: that so many women who I know and didn't know commented. 1613 01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,720 Speaker 2: Fibroys have a high prevalence among Black women. We see 1614 01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:35,920 Speaker 2: higher occurrences of shit like asthma and respiratory issues in 1615 01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,840 Speaker 2: lead poison and urban areas than where Black folks are. 1616 01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,400 Speaker 2: I wonder what the full extent of damage for folks 1617 01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,480 Speaker 2: in Flint will be. Will those women's fertility be impacted 1618 01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,200 Speaker 2: just a thought or question rather love y'all. 1619 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:51,519 Speaker 4: Yes, it will be. And they have done studies, like 1620 01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,880 Speaker 4: back in the sixties and seventies, they did a study 1621 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,880 Speaker 4: that talked about African American women in their birth rate 1622 01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 4: and how their birth rate was lower and how African 1623 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,759 Speaker 4: American women had a higher percentage of losing their children. 1624 01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:06,280 Speaker 4: Black women lose their children at a higher percentage than 1625 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,559 Speaker 4: any of the group. Like we have more steel births 1626 01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,719 Speaker 4: and things like that, but that women have a higher 1627 01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 4: percentage of fibroids than any other group of like tumors 1628 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:19,559 Speaker 4: and things like that. And I'm pretty sure because it's us, 1629 01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 4: you know, somebody would need to invest into doing studies 1630 01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:25,920 Speaker 4: and statistics to really get the numbers that you're talking about. 1631 01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,960 Speaker 4: But yes, environment does matter because if you really think 1632 01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,960 Speaker 4: about it, anytime they want on a waste plant, where 1633 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,000 Speaker 4: does it go near us? Anytime they won't landfills? What 1634 01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:38,479 Speaker 4: does it go near us? Airports? Right?

I see both sides of what 1901 01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:20,080 Speaker 2: Rick and Macheon are trying to do, as well as 1902 01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:22,920 Speaker 2: Maggie and those who aren't on means staying alive. As 1903 01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:24,920 Speaker 2: for me, I see the parallels the culture wars as 1904 01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:28,000 Speaker 2: far as religious extremists and vangelicals and Islamic folks who 1905 01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:31,360 Speaker 2: wage violence. These Christians that allive with Trump and want 1906 01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:33,479 Speaker 2: to eliminate those of us who aren't like them or 1907 01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:35,959 Speaker 2: accept their way of life are similar to the Saviors, 1908 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:38,080 Speaker 2: just like ice Is and al Kaeda already been lining 1909 01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:42,639 Speaker 2: in our Baghdati. Even after they died. They still killing folks, 1910 01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:45,120 Speaker 2: whether they are soldiers or civilians. It's the same as 1911 01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:47,719 Speaker 2: what Hilltop and Ultra Side are feeling and doing. There's 1912 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:51,280 Speaker 2: never enough bodies to drop for people to satisfide, to 1913 01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:54,679 Speaker 2: feel satisfied and feel safe. They want all them dead, 1914 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:57,320 Speaker 2: even people who didn't participate in the fighting. Martyr are 1915 01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,000 Speaker 2: sitting in jail. The fight is what they all believe. 1916 01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:02,400 Speaker 2: Even rather than accepting the enough is enough and live 1917 01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,599 Speaker 2: it is ultimately all that matters. What happens once Rick 1918 01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:07,519 Speaker 2: is gone is as much a factor for all them 1919 01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:10,120 Speaker 2: Alexandria Hilltop Ultra Side in the Kingdom as real life 1920 01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:12,840 Speaker 2: is for us. That's my observation and thoughts on the season. 1921 01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:14,519 Speaker 2: To walk in there, you know, are amazing is always 1922 01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:18,000 Speaker 2: and enjoy the recapts and enjoy the usual TBGWT episodes. 1923 01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:18,519 Speaker 4: Thank you. 1924 01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:23,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's deep and I kind of agree, So thank you. 1925 01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:29,040 Speaker 2: That's all that's all I got for you. I agree 1926 01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:32,200 Speaker 2: totally with what you just said. And it is a 1927 01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:36,960 Speaker 2: philosophical debate that we still have to this day. It's 1928 01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:39,040 Speaker 2: such a huge I don't know, people get mad, but 1929 01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 2: it's such a human show. The rut of the conversation 1930 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:46,479 Speaker 2: and the cyclical nature of it is life. That's life. 1931 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:52,840 Speaker 2: Every day we are deciding what is a retribution versus revenge? 1932 01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:57,479 Speaker 2: What is what is going to keep us able to 1933 01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:01,040 Speaker 2: live in a free society versus what is a stuffing 1934 01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:04,479 Speaker 2: down people's free speech? And here's a society that you're 1935 01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:11,240 Speaker 2: remaking from ground one. I think it's relevant. Monica Wright saying, Hi, 1936 01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:13,599 Speaker 2: roder Camp, I've been selfishly enjoying your shows for too 1937 01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:16,320 Speaker 2: long without feedback, So here I am.

And I reluctantly 1944 01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,080 Speaker 2: resume watching the new season of The Walking Dead because 1945 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,800 Speaker 2: I wanted to fully immerse myself in the recaps. Heck, 1946 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:43,920 Speaker 2: you guys are the reason I started watching in season six. 1947 01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:45,760 Speaker 2: I've been bored by the show recently, and if not 1948 01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:48,639 Speaker 2: for the Wednesday recaps, I'll not be watching at all. 1949 01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:50,320 Speaker 2: All that being said, I have a funny story. In 1950 01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:52,840 Speaker 2: the last few recaps. Karen mintioned more than once how 1951 01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:54,840 Speaker 2: bad an I did was to have Gabriel be an 1952 01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:57,759 Speaker 2: overnight watch with his one working eye, and I remember 1953 01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:01,120 Speaker 2: feeling a little uncomfortable saying my two woke ass was like, 1954 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:03,759 Speaker 2: disabled people can do just as much as everybody people. 1955 01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:07,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I was kind of guessing. Cut to Halloween afternoon, 1956 01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:10,200 Speaker 2: I'm dressed as Quasi the pirate cat from Disney Junior 1957 01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:13,160 Speaker 2: show Octonots, assigned to me by my four year old 1958 01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:16,200 Speaker 2: I've made my own costume, complete with an eye patch. Guys, 1959 01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:19,040 Speaker 2: I gained so much more understanding the vision impairment than 1960 01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 2: I ever knew. I had a pretty great vision, and 1961 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:23,920 Speaker 2: having one eye cover completely fucked up my depth perception 1962 01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:26,720 Speaker 2: and threw me off a ton he I felt like 1963 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,160 Speaker 2: such a maroon and I immediately thought of Gabriel. 1964 01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:29,639 Speaker 4: Lol. 1965 01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:32,640 Speaker 2: That could not be easy. I was so disoriented I 1966 01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:36,120 Speaker 2: started talking louder as if my hearing was affected too. 1967 01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:39,000 Speaker 2: It was such a silly reaction. Anyway, Perhaps you were 1968 01:40:39,040 --> 01:40:41,840 Speaker 2: right and I was wrong. Also, I need to learn 1969 01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:45,080 Speaker 2: from actual people with visual impairment and not just assume. 1970 01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:47,200 Speaker 2: My moral of the story is avoid eye patches at 1971 01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,799 Speaker 2: costules because it makes walking at twilight pretty freaking scary. 1972 01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:53,880 Speaker 2: My much smarter friends suggested just keeping the patch above 1973 01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:57,000 Speaker 2: my eye. Yeah, that worked out better anyway. Stays for 1974 01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,080 Speaker 2: all the thought for deep conversation as well as silly 1975 01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:01,600 Speaker 2: games of puns, which I later monica, thank you. 1976 01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:03,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. And it's one of the things where no, I 1977 01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:07,519 Speaker 4: wasn't trying to criticize people with uh disabilities or anything 1978 01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:11,400 Speaker 4: like that. It's just the fact that you need full sight, 1979 01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:13,840 Speaker 4: like for what he was actually watching, and you need 1980 01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:15,320 Speaker 4: to be able to look in both directions. 1981 01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:18,680 Speaker 2: To me, Yeah, to me, I mean, look, I don't 1982 01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:20,320 Speaker 2: I'm not an expert on this, but to me, the 1983 01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,599 Speaker 2: ableism of something like that would be like, he can't 1984 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:27,439 Speaker 2: contribute to our community he only has one eye or 1985 01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:30,800 Speaker 2: you know, like I don't know, don't give him a 1986 01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 2: gun or something like that. Like I it's not like 1987 01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:39,160 Speaker 2: that's like saying that if someone were to not be 1988 01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:45,679 Speaker 2: able to to use their legs and there and your 1989 01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:52,800 Speaker 2: your your your camp or whatever is not it's not 1990 01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:56,960 Speaker 2: uh friendly for it's it's not it's not whatever what 1991 01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:00,320 Speaker 2: do you call it when you pass the local inspections. 1992 01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,960 Speaker 2: It's not codd if you know what I'm saying. It's 1993 01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:06,120 Speaker 2: not eighty H compliant. It's not eighty h compliant. So 1994 01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:09,000 Speaker 2: like the tower for the lookout thing, y'all don't have 1995 01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:11,080 Speaker 2: an elevator or something. You gotta get on the ladder 1996 01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:13,719 Speaker 2: and climb up there. To me, it is not able 1997 01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:16,160 Speaker 2: us to be like, well, we can't have this dude 1998 01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:18,040 Speaker 2: do look out because he can't use his legs to 1999 01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:20,479 Speaker 2: get up the tower, so we can't. He won't be 2000 01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:23,920 Speaker 2: able to do lookout physically, so we'll just assign him 2001 01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:26,400 Speaker 2: that job anyway, cause fuck it, you know, that would 2002 01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:28,240 Speaker 2: make us ablest to not give him the job. Like 2003 01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:31,320 Speaker 2: if you can't make the job work for the person 2004 01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:33,880 Speaker 2: and you can't and you don't have the means, to me, 2005 01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,760 Speaker 2: that's that's not it. To me, ableism is like you 2006 01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:40,519 Speaker 2: can't do anything, or you can't participate, or we're not 2007 01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:42,479 Speaker 2: gonna do anything to make it so you could do 2008 01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:46,080 Speaker 2: this job. And I don't think Gabe being lookout at 2009 01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:50,400 Speaker 2: night with one eye is necessarily the heel I would 2010 01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:53,800 Speaker 2: down in the zombie apocalypse. If somebody was like, you know, 2011 01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:55,920 Speaker 2: is this kind of able ass, I'd be like, I 2012 01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,360 Speaker 2: don't know, but I know that y'all niggas want to 2013 01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:01,960 Speaker 2: be alive in the morning, and gave ain't exactly the dude. 2014 01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:06,160 Speaker 2: You know. Also, he was out there getting his dick suck, 2015 01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:09,040 Speaker 2: which is much more of a problem for me, to 2016 01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:13,479 Speaker 2: be fair, not less likely to attention. To be fair, 2017 01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:16,400 Speaker 2: I have much less of a problem with his one eye, as. 2018 01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:18,200 Speaker 4: I mean, he was using the one eye, but not 2019 01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:19,880 Speaker 4: but not the one to see it, right. 2020 01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:24,120 Speaker 2: I don't like that ship.

Maggie was on our way 2036 01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:01,640 Speaker 2: to out. This is not a trap either, right, He's like, 2037 01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:03,760 Speaker 2: did you playing this shit too?

Come on, man, like nigga, ain't 2040 01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:13,920 Speaker 2: no come on man, your biit gets though. The other 2041 01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:16,400 Speaker 2: thing is with Nigga and Michelle. In the last scene, 2042 01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,000 Speaker 2: Micheon says, eat Niggan. I was looking down at my 2043 01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:22,000 Speaker 2: phone and I heard eat Nigga. I wish Michean would 2044 01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:24,960 Speaker 2: have could could be that real? She says it twice 2045 01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:26,960 Speaker 2: in that scene. Shit was funny. Also, I noticed the 2046 01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,760 Speaker 2: type of apples Macheane was feeding Judith Hint the best 2047 01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:35,360 Speaker 2: con I didn't notice. I don'tfully they weren't red delicious. 2048 01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:38,639 Speaker 2: The qualmmelesp was really very interesting. One thing that stuck 2049 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,160 Speaker 2: out to me was a shock that people's reaction to 2050 01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:43,439 Speaker 2: book titles and covers. When you know you are doing 2051 01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:45,400 Speaker 2: something for shock value, how can you be surprised some 2052 01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:49,439 Speaker 2: people think you have a problem with the community. Yes, yes, yes, 2053 01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:53,519 Speaker 2: Tristan with crack Hole Dreams and this pitch got roaches 2054 01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,679 Speaker 2: at her crib. Someone seeing those titles going to think 2055 01:44:55,720 --> 01:44:59,120 Speaker 2: negatively about black women. When you made that video eating 2056 01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:01,559 Speaker 2: that kit cat, people would be mad. It wasn't a shock, 2057 01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:04,000 Speaker 2: was it. Nope. Not saying that people should make the 2058 01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:06,320 Speaker 2: comments that they do. But I think at this point 2059 01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:09,000 Speaker 2: we all would be understanding enough about human nature on 2060 01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:11,479 Speaker 2: the Internet to know people are going to react again. 2061 01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:13,400 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that people should charge him with think 2062 01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:16,400 Speaker 2: hurting the black community because he writes fictional hoodbooks, but 2063 01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:19,320 Speaker 2: it's surprising he didn't see that coming. That was the 2064 01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:22,439 Speaker 2: part for me too, Like the whole interview kind of 2065 01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:27,120 Speaker 2: starts there, and I'm like, so wait, what Like I mean, 2066 01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:31,439 Speaker 2: that's kind of like obvious. So okay, get me to 2067 01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,559 Speaker 2: this place where you cause you know, the way I 2068 01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,599 Speaker 2: do interviews. I don't jump in people's shit. I've never 2069 01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:39,800 Speaker 2: yelled at so I try not to yell at people 2070 01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:42,120 Speaker 2: and stuff like that.

That reading for some people is that thing? 2134 01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:57,240 Speaker 4: Right? 2135 01:48:57,439 --> 01:49:00,000 Speaker 2: For some folks it's not. But then they'll listen to Joe, 2136 01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:05,160 Speaker 2: But they'll listen to Charlemagne and them. They'll they'll they'll 2137 01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:11,920 Speaker 2: enjoy a Tyler Perry movie, they'll enjoy some other author's book, 2138 01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:15,720 Speaker 2: certain blogs, stuff like that. They but they have their 2139 01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:19,679 Speaker 2: thing like because too many, too many people are making 2140 01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:23,920 Speaker 2: good money. Too many people are still selling out shows 2141 01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:26,479 Speaker 2: and stuff. For me to think that the world operates 2142 01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:29,040 Speaker 2: the way people try to pretend, which is we don't 2143 01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:32,160 Speaker 2: like this person, they're problematic, and I'm like, but they 2144 01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:35,559 Speaker 2: also are making all the money. So at what point 2145 01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:38,120 Speaker 2: are we gonna stop? At what point, are we gonna 2146 01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:41,200 Speaker 2: talk about you being full of shit? You know, like 2147 01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:43,720 Speaker 2: you're mad about Kwan Miles that the first thing when 2148 01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:45,759 Speaker 2: you get upset with somebody you do is call them 2149 01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:49,040 Speaker 2: a bitch or a whole or you know, like you 2150 01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:51,360 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like the first thing you run 2151 01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:54,920 Speaker 2: to is some type of misogynistic insult. But then you 2152 01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:58,280 Speaker 2: turn around and and go fuck this dude, Like, I 2153 01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:02,480 Speaker 2: don't know, like it. It presented a lot of interesting 2154 01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:08,360 Speaker 2: moral quandaries around that guy, so correct. Lastly, you and 2155 01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:10,879 Speaker 2: Justin talked on the pregame about the shooting at Butler 2156 01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:13,120 Speaker 2: whether the kids had to go back to school. I 2157 01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:15,720 Speaker 2: read it it was considered a bullying incident, but I 2158 01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:18,000 Speaker 2: didn't know why school continued, knowing that it was a 2159 01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:21,640 Speaker 2: black school, but that that put that back in perspective. 2160 01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:23,400 Speaker 2: I can't imagine having to deal with that as a 2161 01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:25,280 Speaker 2: student or a parent. Here at the Great Work, Yeah, 2162 01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:25,840 Speaker 2: that was terrible. 2163 01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:28,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, they said only one hundred students state most of 2164 01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:29,000 Speaker 4: the student body. 2165 01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:31,280 Speaker 2: Left, but they told them school class was still in. 2166 01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:36,240 Speaker 2: I read it like, oh, yeah, but right, which is fine, 2167 01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:40,639 Speaker 2: but as a policy that's terrible. Yes, So it doesn't 2168 01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:43,880 Speaker 2: matter that people ignored it. It sucks that YA would 2169 01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:48,080 Speaker 2: even think and I and I can't help but believe personally. 2170 01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:50,040 Speaker 4: That that's because it's a black school, right. 2171 01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:53,280 Speaker 2: I think if it was a white school. 2172 01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:56,000 Speaker 4: A dismissed class, because the thing is the next day 2173 01:50:56,120 --> 01:50:57,479 Speaker 4: they were out of school anyway. 2174 01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:04,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, that was ridiculous.

He 2492 02:09:47,640 --> 02:09:50,720 Speaker 4: does a lot of the prep work because I have 2493 02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:53,200 Speaker 4: a full time job. He actually works for the podcast 2494 02:09:53,200 --> 02:09:55,600 Speaker 4: full time, so he has the time to go online, 2495 02:09:55,640 --> 02:09:58,560 Speaker 4: read the articles, see what's happening across the internet. I don't, 2496 02:09:58,840 --> 02:10:02,200 Speaker 4: so I am the audience, and so sometimes people that 2497 02:10:02,280 --> 02:10:05,560 Speaker 4: listen to the show they don't understand why my response 2498 02:10:05,640 --> 02:10:09,120 Speaker 4: and reaction is how it is because when he reads something, 2499 02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:11,040 Speaker 4: I'm like, what is that? What does that mean? I'm 2500 02:10:11,040 --> 02:10:13,160 Speaker 4: actually because this is the first time I'm hearing it, 2501 02:10:13,240 --> 02:10:14,160 Speaker 4: just like the audience. 2502 02:10:14,440 --> 02:10:17,520 Speaker 2: It's kind of like jazz, like I would say, like 2503 02:10:17,640 --> 02:10:20,160 Speaker 2: I try to be the baseline baby piano and Karen's 2504 02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:25,720 Speaker 2: like the trumpet, right, but it's still kind of interchangeable, 2505 02:10:25,800 --> 02:10:29,560 Speaker 2: right because like in the last spot we were talking 2506 02:10:29,560 --> 02:10:32,600 Speaker 2: about the pet ad right, which it does suck when 2507 02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:37,600 Speaker 2: somebody is like actually, but sometimes we turn that into 2508 02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:39,760 Speaker 2: the joke, like that's it up? Now? Is you fuck 2509 02:10:39,840 --> 02:10:42,040 Speaker 2: that up? Let's talk about it, you know.

You know, sometimes the 2517 02:11:13,160 --> 02:11:16,040 Speaker 2: ridiculousness of what we're talking about. Because you live in 2518 02:11:16,040 --> 02:11:19,440 Speaker 2: this world, the only response is to the absurd is 2519 02:11:19,480 --> 02:11:22,520 Speaker 2: to laugh.

Now, 2581 02:15:26,240 --> 02:15:29,080 Speaker 15: I have my students. I'm teaching a class called podcast 2582 02:15:29,160 --> 02:15:29,840 Speaker 15: Nation right. 2583 02:15:29,720 --> 02:15:34,600 Speaker 13: Now, and we've been doing TVGWT all week. 2584 02:15:35,120 --> 02:15:36,360 Speaker 2: Oh okay, And. 2585 02:15:36,480 --> 02:15:40,400 Speaker 15: So I asked the students to draft some questions. 2586 02:15:40,600 --> 02:15:44,280 Speaker 10: Okay, and I told and I also said to them, 2587 02:15:44,400 --> 02:15:46,720 Speaker 10: you know what they say, there are no stupid questions. 2588 02:15:47,520 --> 02:15:48,160 Speaker 15: They love them. 2589 02:15:50,200 --> 02:15:53,800 Speaker 8: But I got some really thoughtful questions from them. 2590 02:15:53,880 --> 02:15:55,800 Speaker 15: And I thought I would just direct. 2591 02:15:55,400 --> 02:15:57,480 Speaker 14: It at you folks, and and. 2592 02:15:57,400 --> 02:16:00,360 Speaker 15: That way is it. It'll structure it sort of through that. 2593 02:16:02,200 --> 02:16:06,200 Speaker 8: The first question is what is the origin story of 2594 02:16:06,280 --> 02:16:07,400 Speaker 8: tvg WT. 2595 02:16:09,960 --> 02:16:12,120 Speaker 2: So I used to have a blog called the Blackout 2596 02:16:12,160 --> 02:16:15,839 Speaker 2: Tips and it would start. I named it that because 2597 02:16:16,080 --> 02:16:18,440 Speaker 2: I was so tired of that stereotype that black people 2598 02:16:18,440 --> 02:16:18,880 Speaker 2: don't tap. 2599 02:16:19,480 --> 02:16:19,680 Speaker 3: Right. 2600 02:16:19,720 --> 02:16:21,680 Speaker 2: I used to be a waiter need to uh for 2601 02:16:21,800 --> 02:16:25,440 Speaker 2: years and that sucks, right because like, on the one hand, 2602 02:16:25,800 --> 02:16:28,200 Speaker 2: it's it's a what do you call it? It's like 2603 02:16:28,240 --> 02:16:33,560 Speaker 2: a yeah, it's a self self fulfilling, fulfilling prophecy. I 2604 02:16:33,560 --> 02:16:36,440 Speaker 2: don't know, self fulfilling narrative. Right, I'm not gonna take 2605 02:16:36,480 --> 02:16:38,680 Speaker 2: this black table because Durbal lick and they won't tap 2606 02:16:38,680 --> 02:16:40,000 Speaker 2: any you treat the white shit and even be like 2607 02:16:40,040 --> 02:16:43,320 Speaker 2: I don't tip that. I don't know you, right, so 2608 02:16:43,320 --> 02:16:47,320 Speaker 2: so you so so you on both sides, right, Like 2609 02:16:47,520 --> 02:16:50,640 Speaker 2: I'm super conscious about it now, like I you need overtell. 2610 02:16:50,840 --> 02:16:53,880 Speaker 4: But constantly we be like, you gave me bad service. 2611 02:16:53,920 --> 02:16:57,360 Speaker 4: You're going down to twenty percent, right, which it doesn't 2612 02:16:57,400 --> 02:16:59,160 Speaker 4: make sense, but that's just how we're built, right. 2613 02:16:59,240 --> 02:17:01,320 Speaker 2: And it's also cause used to be waiters, right, so 2614 02:17:01,360 --> 02:17:03,840 Speaker 2: we know the hardships of it. But everyone should have 2615 02:17:03,920 --> 02:17:06,760 Speaker 2: to be a waiter. But that's a whole different thing. Anyway, 2616 02:17:06,879 --> 02:17:09,199 Speaker 2: The point being I used to just write about random 2617 02:17:09,240 --> 02:17:12,320 Speaker 2: funny stuff, and so I used that title, and then 2618 02:17:13,280 --> 02:17:15,200 Speaker 2: we used to we were listening. We still listen to 2619 02:17:15,240 --> 02:17:16,360 Speaker 2: a lot of podcasts, but I used to listen to 2620 02:17:16,400 --> 02:17:19,920 Speaker 2: podcast called Keith and the Girl, which is like two. 2621 02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:21,600 Speaker 2: They were the first podcasts I listened to that were 2622 02:17:21,640 --> 02:17:27,360 Speaker 2: like two people that were not like comedians entertainers. They 2623 02:17:27,360 --> 02:17:29,400 Speaker 2: were just like people that had like a studio in 2624 02:17:29,480 --> 02:17:31,600 Speaker 2: their other room and they would talking about like the 2625 02:17:31,600 --> 02:17:34,400 Speaker 2: stuff they did at worker that day, and I was like, wow, 2626 02:17:34,480 --> 02:17:37,920 Speaker 2: this is kind of intimate and cool, and someone was 2627 02:17:37,920 --> 02:17:39,880 Speaker 2: complaining about the show and they wrote it into the 2628 02:17:39,920 --> 02:17:42,120 Speaker 2: show and they were like, this is what's wrong with 2629 02:17:42,160 --> 02:17:44,959 Speaker 2: your show? And then they replied like, well, if it's 2630 02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:46,680 Speaker 2: that easy, you should just like start the show and 2631 02:17:46,720 --> 02:17:49,800 Speaker 2: be better than us. And while I didn't have a 2632 02:17:49,800 --> 02:17:51,800 Speaker 2: problem with their show, I was like, yeah, why can't 2633 02:17:51,800 --> 02:17:54,119 Speaker 2: anyone just start a show? So I was like, Karen, 2634 02:17:54,160 --> 02:17:57,920 Speaker 2: we should start a show. And Karen's like, I don't 2635 02:17:58,120 --> 02:18:01,840 Speaker 2: know about that. You you should start a show. You're funny. 2636 02:18:02,080 --> 02:18:05,520 Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, you're funny, trust me, and she's like, no, you. 2637 02:18:06,640 --> 02:18:08,440 Speaker 2: I would do the show, but if only if I 2638 02:18:08,480 --> 02:18:11,520 Speaker 2: cannot necessarily be committed to the show. She's like, if 2639 02:18:11,560 --> 02:18:14,480 Speaker 2: I like, if you don't want me on the show anymore, 2640 02:18:14,480 --> 02:18:17,480 Speaker 2: at some point that's okay and I will hop off. 2641 02:18:17,640 --> 02:18:19,360 Speaker 2: And so that's why it's named The black Out. Tell 2642 02:18:19,400 --> 02:18:21,200 Speaker 2: us I would have named it from like the Roding 2643 02:18:21,280 --> 02:18:26,080 Speaker 2: Karen Show, or maybe not as catchy. Well, I probably 2644 02:18:26,080 --> 02:18:28,960 Speaker 2: would have named it something like that, And that's how 2645 02:18:29,120 --> 02:18:31,200 Speaker 2: that's the origin story. It took us. 2646 02:18:33,040 --> 02:18:37,000 Speaker 4: Man that first show, Oh my god, when I tell 2647 02:18:37,080 --> 02:18:41,959 Speaker 4: you that, the first night we recorded literally everything that 2648 02:18:42,040 --> 02:18:46,000 Speaker 4: could go wrong with wrong. We literally recorded like four 2649 02:18:46,080 --> 02:18:48,840 Speaker 4: or five times. We was back and forth at best Buy. 2650 02:18:49,280 --> 02:18:51,760 Speaker 4: We bought a computer, a brand new computer to soundboard 2651 02:18:51,760 --> 02:18:54,039 Speaker 4: wouldn't work. We had to go back get another soundboard 2652 02:18:54,320 --> 02:18:56,200 Speaker 4: that didn't work. When I tell you, by the time 2653 02:18:56,240 --> 02:18:58,480 Speaker 4: we recorded it was like midnight. So our fair first 2654 02:18:58,480 --> 02:19:05,800 Speaker 4: show was like, hey, I'll do it. Yeah, yeah, we don't. 2655 02:19:05,840 --> 02:19:07,120 Speaker 4: We don't know if anybody's out there. 2656 02:19:07,200 --> 02:19:08,800 Speaker 2: Then that. 2657 02:19:09,840 --> 02:19:12,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, we was like we hope this goes somewhere and 2658 02:19:12,360 --> 02:19:14,680 Speaker 4: at the end and then at the end, because we 2659 02:19:14,720 --> 02:19:18,360 Speaker 4: started so long ago, everything is simplified now it's it's 2660 02:19:18,400 --> 02:19:22,200 Speaker 4: like now we had to look up tutorials and people. 2661 02:19:22,280 --> 02:19:25,000 Speaker 4: Now you can clearly Google and it's this, this, this, this, 2662 02:19:25,200 --> 02:19:28,160 Speaker 4: here's here's this, here's YouTube. Right, So for us it 2663 02:19:28,200 --> 02:19:30,560 Speaker 4: was completely different. So thin it was like, okay, now 2664 02:19:30,560 --> 02:19:33,640 Speaker 4: we got to get this up on iTunes, what's s 2665 02:19:34,760 --> 02:19:36,320 Speaker 4: how do you do this? So you know, we had 2666 02:19:36,360 --> 02:19:38,920 Speaker 4: to learn and grind. But the thing is once you 2667 02:19:39,080 --> 02:19:41,160 Speaker 4: learn that, nobody can take that away from you. 2668 02:19:41,840 --> 02:19:43,320 Speaker 15: But yeah, that's the story. 2669 02:19:44,200 --> 02:19:44,520 Speaker 4: Cool. 2670 02:19:46,560 --> 02:19:51,959 Speaker 18: Sure, this isn't my question, not my students question. My 2671 02:19:52,200 --> 02:19:56,879 Speaker 18: question was tell us about Sarah brought. 2672 02:19:56,680 --> 02:20:03,760 Speaker 12: The the article on the black Chiplin Circuit podcast Shilling Circuit, 2673 02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:09,520 Speaker 12: the podcast Chiplin Circuit and talking about the landscape of 2674 02:20:10,120 --> 02:20:15,279 Speaker 12: black podcasting, and one of the things I thought. 2675 02:20:15,240 --> 02:20:23,000 Speaker 17: You might address is the way that it operates in 2676 02:20:23,600 --> 02:20:27,680 Speaker 17: somewhat different ways than some of the stuff that was 2677 02:20:27,720 --> 02:20:32,000 Speaker 17: being discussed earlier today in terms of of sort of the. 2678 02:20:31,920 --> 02:20:36,400 Speaker 15: Original black podcasting. And then well, you know what I mean, 2679 02:20:38,400 --> 02:20:39,000 Speaker 15: a little question. 2680 02:20:40,600 --> 02:20:43,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I wrote this article that's now part of 2681 02:20:43,320 --> 02:20:47,520 Speaker 1: my current book project has expanded there about the podcast 2682 02:20:47,560 --> 02:20:51,560 Speaker 1: Chilling Circuit. And I took that term actually from you all, 2683 02:20:51,840 --> 02:20:56,640 Speaker 1: and it was you all and Chris and Phenom. Chris 2684 02:20:56,920 --> 02:20:59,960 Speaker 1: is the host of Sanity Gechek podcast, which is he's 2685 02:21:00,080 --> 02:21:03,960 Speaker 1: been doing it since two thousand and eight, so he's 2686 02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:08,240 Speaker 1: been podcasting since for a decade now. Penon Black is 2687 02:21:08,240 --> 02:21:10,320 Speaker 1: one of the co hosts of Where's My forty Acres? 2688 02:21:10,360 --> 02:21:17,680 Speaker 1: They started around this twenty and so they were all 2689 02:21:17,800 --> 02:21:21,000 Speaker 1: really tightly networked together, not in a formal network, but 2690 02:21:21,640 --> 02:21:24,119 Speaker 1: people were just on each other's shows, hanging out. 2691 02:21:24,480 --> 02:21:26,039 Speaker 2: Conversations were happening. 2692 02:21:25,720 --> 02:21:28,520 Speaker 1: Back and forth across the shows. People were calling in. 2693 02:21:29,840 --> 02:21:32,560 Speaker 1: That's how I learned about their podcasts because Rod used 2694 02:21:32,560 --> 02:21:35,520 Speaker 1: to call in to Blacking It Up, which was the 2695 02:21:35,520 --> 02:21:41,320 Speaker 1: podcast of this weekend Blackness, And so they actually referred 2696 02:21:41,320 --> 02:21:45,400 Speaker 1: to themselves as the podcasts Chillllin Circuit. And so there 2697 02:21:45,440 --> 02:21:49,520 Speaker 1: is now this network of folks who I said in 2698 02:21:49,520 --> 02:21:53,000 Speaker 1: a panel earlier today, they were a handful of really cool, 2699 02:21:53,000 --> 02:21:55,600 Speaker 1: interesting black podcasts in like twenty twelve, and I was 2700 02:21:55,600 --> 02:21:58,800 Speaker 1: trying to start writing about them. Nobody cared about podcasts 2701 02:21:59,800 --> 02:22:02,440 Speaker 1: and them. Between twenty twelve and twenty fourteen, there was 2702 02:22:02,520 --> 02:22:07,640 Speaker 1: this proliferation of podcasts in this network, in the Chillen 2703 02:22:07,680 --> 02:22:09,680 Speaker 1: Circuit network. I've been trying to y'all, don't call it 2704 02:22:09,720 --> 02:22:10,640 Speaker 1: that anymore. So I've been trying to. 2705 02:22:10,640 --> 02:22:12,400 Speaker 2: Drop that I don't even know it that it's like 2706 02:22:12,440 --> 02:22:14,119 Speaker 2: the black podcast here universe. 2707 02:22:14,200 --> 02:22:19,720 Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, it's evolved, evolved, you know. 2708 02:22:19,840 --> 02:22:23,920 Speaker 1: Select you can map out the connections and there's about 2709 02:22:23,959 --> 02:22:29,840 Speaker 1: sixty or seventy podcasts in this sort of constellation, right. 2710 02:22:29,879 --> 02:22:31,720 Speaker 1: And one of the things that is interesting about it. 2711 02:22:31,800 --> 02:22:34,640 Speaker 1: Two things I think are particularly interesting is that the 2712 02:22:34,680 --> 02:22:37,520 Speaker 1: community didn't form around the podcast.

Like, the thing about podcasting is that 2837 02:28:25,400 --> 02:28:30,119 Speaker 4: it's structure, but it's also nonstructure. It's structure as far 2838 02:28:30,200 --> 02:28:32,880 Speaker 4: as like the things you do to get your stuff 2839 02:28:32,920 --> 02:28:36,000 Speaker 4: out there, that's the structure, the play, the record, you know, 2840 02:28:36,280 --> 02:28:40,039 Speaker 4: ris it, but it's nonstructure as far as how. 2841 02:28:39,800 --> 02:28:40,720 Speaker 2: You want to do it. 2842 02:28:40,720 --> 02:28:45,080 Speaker 4: It's a blank slate on the topic. Because anything you 2843 02:28:45,080 --> 02:28:47,959 Speaker 4: can think about underneath the sun, somebody has a podcast. 2844 02:28:48,000 --> 02:28:50,240 Speaker 4: You bake, it's a podcast. You sow, it's the podcast. 2845 02:28:50,400 --> 02:28:52,080 Speaker 4: You read a book about a book about a book, 2846 02:28:52,080 --> 02:28:54,480 Speaker 4: it's the podcast. So anything you can think undneath the 2847 02:28:54,480 --> 02:28:57,520 Speaker 4: sun is a podcast. The length it varies. Some people 2848 02:28:57,560 --> 02:28:59,640 Speaker 4: follow structure. I need to be thirty minutes. I need 2849 02:28:59,640 --> 02:29:00,960 Speaker 4: to be out, I need to be this, I need 2850 02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:03,039 Speaker 4: to be that. We're loan for them. We're like, hey, 2851 02:29:03,240 --> 02:29:06,199 Speaker 4: you can commute to work with us. You can save 2852 02:29:06,280 --> 02:29:09,119 Speaker 4: our show and actually do a full day of just us, 2853 02:29:09,200 --> 02:29:12,200 Speaker 4: you know, because the thing is we realized what I know. 2854 02:29:12,280 --> 02:29:15,600 Speaker 4: I've realized that everybody wants to follow the structure, but 2855 02:29:15,680 --> 02:29:19,680 Speaker 4: sometimes that might not be you. And also sometimes I 2856 02:29:19,720 --> 02:29:24,360 Speaker 4: think that people when it comes to the structure, it 2857 02:29:24,360 --> 02:29:28,720 Speaker 4: doesn't fit them. It's like sticking a circle in the square. 2858 02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:29,240 Speaker 2: You know. 2859 02:29:30,480 --> 02:29:32,800 Speaker 4: For us, we do our show five days a week. 2860 02:29:32,879 --> 02:29:35,600 Speaker 4: We understand most people are not going to be that committed. 2861 02:29:36,480 --> 02:29:38,879 Speaker 2: Some people might do once a week, keep that schedule. 2862 02:29:38,920 --> 02:29:41,080 Speaker 4: Some people might do once a month, keep that schedule. 2863 02:29:41,080 --> 02:29:45,720 Speaker 4: It's like, whatever schedule fits your lifestyle. And for most 2864 02:29:45,720 --> 02:29:49,160 Speaker 4: people it's going to be a hobby. And that's okay too. 2865 02:29:49,440 --> 02:29:51,120 Speaker 4: A lot of people getting the podcast thinking I'm gonna 2866 02:29:51,120 --> 02:29:52,920 Speaker 4: get a podcasts and make money. I'm getting a podcast 2867 02:29:53,000 --> 02:29:56,160 Speaker 4: to be like this person, the average person. But like 2868 02:29:56,280 --> 02:30:00,280 Speaker 4: just most podcasts do not make it past eight episodes period. 2869 02:30:00,480 --> 02:30:03,920 Speaker 4: Most podcasts, when you push play eight episodes, they're done 2870 02:30:04,040 --> 02:30:08,240 Speaker 4: because they were like, oh shit, this is motherfucking work. Yes, yes, yes, 2871 02:30:08,560 --> 02:30:11,680 Speaker 4: it is work. You have to set time aside, you 2872 02:30:11,760 --> 02:30:14,040 Speaker 4: have to get with your co holes, you have to 2873 02:30:14,080 --> 02:30:17,040 Speaker 4: plan out like it is work. And once people realize 2874 02:30:17,080 --> 02:30:19,440 Speaker 4: it's work, and then life, which is real, start creeping in. 2875 02:30:19,520 --> 02:30:22,160 Speaker 4: I got kids, I got a job, I got a husband, 2876 02:30:24,680 --> 02:30:27,879 Speaker 4: I got and for some people, the excitement dies down 2877 02:30:27,920 --> 02:30:29,280 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden it becomes work. 2878 02:30:29,800 --> 02:30:33,080 Speaker 13: You know, I'm sorry I say you, And I was 2879 02:30:33,080 --> 02:30:33,720 Speaker 13: gonna say, I. 2880 02:30:33,680 --> 02:30:37,000 Speaker 1: Think it's really important you saying we were the first 2881 02:30:37,000 --> 02:30:39,519 Speaker 1: people on Skype, were the first people. 2882 02:30:39,280 --> 02:30:40,119 Speaker 4: Doing these things. 2883 02:30:41,080 --> 02:30:43,320 Speaker 1: One of the things I've been thinking about lately is Twitch. 2884 02:30:43,520 --> 02:30:45,879 Speaker 1: If you're all familiar with Twitch, most people think of 2885 02:30:45,879 --> 02:30:48,000 Speaker 1: it as a streaming platform for video games, but people 2886 02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:50,199 Speaker 1: are using it for a lot of different things. Before 2887 02:30:50,240 --> 02:30:52,400 Speaker 1: it was Twitch, it was just in TV, which this 2888 02:30:52,480 --> 02:30:53,440 Speaker 1: Week of Blatiness used to. 2889 02:30:53,520 --> 02:30:54,520 Speaker 15: Use for their podcast. 2890 02:30:54,840 --> 02:30:58,560 Speaker 1: And Twitch basically formalizes things that these folks have been doing, 2891 02:30:58,879 --> 02:31:06,280 Speaker 1: cobbling together platform coddling together Skype and Google hangouts and. 2892 02:31:06,320 --> 02:31:07,400 Speaker 4: You know, chat. 2893 02:31:07,240 --> 02:31:11,080 Speaker 1: Rooms and Twitter and kind of making it work right. 2894 02:31:11,480 --> 02:31:14,280 Speaker 1: And then now we have a platform that is becoming 2895 02:31:14,560 --> 02:31:18,279 Speaker 1: more and more popular. People are talking about it superseding YouTube. 2896 02:31:19,920 --> 02:31:24,520 Speaker 1: Eventually we'll see. But these folks, I mean, it's part 2897 02:31:24,520 --> 02:31:26,000 Speaker 1: of why I wrote the book that I did, is 2898 02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:30,360 Speaker 1: because these folks were pioneers figuring out taking these platforms 2899 02:31:30,480 --> 02:31:32,960 Speaker 1: and figuring out how to make them work to do 2900 02:31:33,000 --> 02:31:37,480 Speaker 1: the things that they wanted to do, even though those 2901 02:31:37,520 --> 02:31:39,960 Speaker 1: things weren't necessarily designed to do that right. 2902 02:31:39,959 --> 02:31:41,360 Speaker 15: And now here we are a few. 2903 02:31:41,240 --> 02:31:46,920 Speaker 1: Years later, and it's sort of institutionalized in the internet infrastructure. 2904 02:31:47,160 --> 02:31:51,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think for me, the biggest leap for podcasts, 2905 02:31:51,560 --> 02:31:56,040 Speaker 4: which is good and bad, is technology in the Internet. 2906 02:31:56,160 --> 02:31:59,200 Speaker 4: Like it has evolved now it is so much easier, 2907 02:31:59,200 --> 02:32:03,320 Speaker 4: it's so much simple to do things. And the thing is, 2908 02:32:03,480 --> 02:32:07,000 Speaker 4: I know, for us, right just say, we used to man, 2909 02:32:07,640 --> 02:32:08,640 Speaker 4: I remember when we. 2910 02:32:08,560 --> 02:32:10,200 Speaker 2: First did our first live show. 2911 02:32:10,480 --> 02:32:12,520 Speaker 4: That was everything. I remember when we got our first 2912 02:32:12,560 --> 02:32:16,040 Speaker 4: soundboard and we could actually play stuff, like play stuff 2913 02:32:16,040 --> 02:32:18,680 Speaker 4: to the audience. We played with that thing. The whole 2914 02:32:18,680 --> 02:32:20,520 Speaker 4: show was us just playing the soundboard. 2915 02:32:20,600 --> 02:32:21,240 Speaker 2: The whole show. 2916 02:32:21,560 --> 02:32:23,920 Speaker 4: We got music, you know, we got sound effects, and 2917 02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:26,560 Speaker 4: that was like the running joke. So like we have 2918 02:32:27,240 --> 02:32:30,959 Speaker 4: changed and grown and evolved, and our equipment has evolved 2919 02:32:31,000 --> 02:32:33,240 Speaker 4: as we have evolved. You know, a lot of people 2920 02:32:33,240 --> 02:32:33,680 Speaker 4: want to get it. 2921 02:32:33,720 --> 02:32:34,760 Speaker 2: I want to spend all this money. 2922 02:32:34,760 --> 02:32:36,760 Speaker 4: Don't spend all that money. Next week you might not 2923 02:32:36,800 --> 02:32:39,320 Speaker 4: want to do it. So it's okay to do free 2924 02:32:39,400 --> 02:32:41,400 Speaker 4: It's okay to do hand me down, It's okay to 2925 02:32:41,400 --> 02:32:44,160 Speaker 4: do the thirty dollar mic. Like, that's okay. And as 2926 02:32:44,240 --> 02:32:46,600 Speaker 4: you get committed, you can kind of grow, you know, 2927 02:32:46,760 --> 02:32:49,920 Speaker 4: because you know, we have like condenser MIC's and all 2928 02:32:49,920 --> 02:32:52,000 Speaker 4: this other stuff. But we've been doing it for a 2929 02:32:52,160 --> 02:32:55,000 Speaker 4: very long time. And I think sometimes when it comes 2930 02:32:55,040 --> 02:32:57,640 Speaker 4: to podcasts and people want to rush the process because 2931 02:32:57,680 --> 02:33:00,720 Speaker 4: I tell people how you sound today, it's not gonna 2932 02:33:00,720 --> 02:33:02,960 Speaker 4: be how you sound six months from now, how you 2933 02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:05,960 Speaker 4: sound a year from now, because you grow, you've alved, 2934 02:33:06,280 --> 02:33:09,440 Speaker 4: you change. This works for me, This doesn't work for me. 2935 02:33:09,840 --> 02:33:11,200 Speaker 4: I don't like my co hosts, we. 2936 02:33:11,120 --> 02:33:11,800 Speaker 2: Don't get along. 2937 02:33:11,840 --> 02:33:14,480 Speaker 4: You got to go. I got to bring in somebody else, 2938 02:33:14,760 --> 02:33:16,680 Speaker 4: or either I might decide I want to do a 2939 02:33:16,720 --> 02:33:19,360 Speaker 4: show by myself and just rotate people in, you know. 2940 02:33:19,400 --> 02:33:22,240 Speaker 4: But those are things that you learn as you kind 2941 02:33:22,240 --> 02:33:24,720 Speaker 4: of do your own thing. And the biggest thing that 2942 02:33:24,800 --> 02:33:28,160 Speaker 4: I found out, particularly being a woman, is finding your voice. 2943 02:33:28,320 --> 02:33:31,400 Speaker 4: Because what I realized Persten in the NPR and all 2944 02:33:31,440 --> 02:33:35,920 Speaker 4: these other places, women get the most complaints on their voices. 2945 02:33:36,080 --> 02:33:37,720 Speaker 4: NPR says they have actually have like. 2946 02:33:37,640 --> 02:33:40,119 Speaker 2: A mailbox and it'll like grun and it. 2947 02:33:40,160 --> 02:33:42,760 Speaker 4: Be like if somebody women's voice, they just automatics an email. 2948 02:33:42,840 --> 02:33:44,760 Speaker 4: We understand that you're writing because you don't like a 2949 02:33:44,800 --> 02:33:47,320 Speaker 4: women's voice. We don't get these emails for men's voices. 2950 02:33:47,560 --> 02:33:49,600 Speaker 4: So you know, like like, so, so that goes to 2951 02:33:50,040 --> 02:33:51,960 Speaker 4: show for a lot of women that are very scared. 2952 02:33:52,080 --> 02:33:54,640 Speaker 4: So I know, for me, I look for women's voices, 2953 02:33:55,160 --> 02:33:58,440 Speaker 4: you know, because most voices I'm men, which is fine, 2954 02:33:58,920 --> 02:34:01,840 Speaker 4: but there are women, women that are actually podcast listeners 2955 02:34:01,840 --> 02:34:05,959 Speaker 4: that want to hear about having babies, children, birth, reproductive 2956 02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:08,440 Speaker 4: women's They want to hear about these things. And I'm 2957 02:34:08,440 --> 02:34:11,080 Speaker 4: not knocking the men. Most men aren't going to touch 2958 02:34:11,120 --> 02:34:13,959 Speaker 4: those topics and they're not going to research those topics 2959 02:34:14,320 --> 02:34:15,840 Speaker 4: or either a lot of times that they do, they 2960 02:34:15,920 --> 02:34:20,640 Speaker 4: don't bring women's experts in to discuss and have nuanced topics. 2961 02:34:20,640 --> 02:34:22,840 Speaker 4: Because me as a woman, when I listen to podcasts, 2962 02:34:23,600 --> 02:34:25,840 Speaker 4: if it's all men a lot of time, what I 2963 02:34:25,959 --> 02:34:30,040 Speaker 4: realize is that not all the time, but it becomes 2964 02:34:30,080 --> 02:34:32,560 Speaker 4: more of locker room talk where you just have a 2965 02:34:32,600 --> 02:34:36,600 Speaker 4: bunch of dudes talking about dude stuff, and sometimes they forget. 2966 02:34:36,360 --> 02:34:38,960 Speaker 2: Women are listening, so they for everything. 2967 02:34:39,640 --> 02:34:42,040 Speaker 4: And it goes for women too. Sometimes women can talk 2968 02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:44,560 Speaker 4: and don't realize that they're men listening. But for most 2969 02:34:44,600 --> 02:34:46,800 Speaker 4: of the women, you don't modulized group. So a lot 2970 02:34:46,800 --> 02:34:49,320 Speaker 4: of times you're telling men things that they normally don't hear. 2971 02:34:49,360 --> 02:34:53,080 Speaker 4: It's almost like they're sneaking in on your conversation about children, 2972 02:34:53,120 --> 02:34:55,000 Speaker 4: about how I'm tired today and you're getting on my 2973 02:34:55,040 --> 02:34:56,320 Speaker 4: nerves and I want to cush. 2974 02:34:56,120 --> 02:34:58,000 Speaker 2: You out, and the baby, the baby threw. 2975 02:34:57,920 --> 02:35:00,160 Speaker 4: Up on me and all this stuff. Men don't get 2976 02:35:00,160 --> 02:35:00,480 Speaker 4: to hear those. 2977 02:35:01,040 --> 02:35:02,440 Speaker 2: For the record, I wasn't going there. I was going 2978 02:35:02,440 --> 02:35:05,959 Speaker 2: to opposite away. All women talking this no problem. But 2979 02:35:06,120 --> 02:35:08,800 Speaker 2: like if there's like straight people, right, since had people right, 2980 02:35:09,040 --> 02:35:11,920 Speaker 2: we have certain privileges and stuff we're not even aware of. Right, 2981 02:35:11,959 --> 02:35:15,080 Speaker 2: if there's all men talking, all one race group talking 2982 02:35:15,360 --> 02:35:17,800 Speaker 2: like all kinds of stuff, so able body people, right, 2983 02:35:17,840 --> 02:35:20,600 Speaker 2: there's like all these different intersections and we all kind 2984 02:35:20,600 --> 02:35:23,160 Speaker 2: of take them for granted. So you know, it's kind 2985 02:35:23,160 --> 02:35:26,760 Speaker 2: of difficult to put yourself in someone else's shoes. But 2986 02:35:27,040 --> 02:35:29,680 Speaker 2: there's so much information out there now we can educate ourselves. 2987 02:35:29,720 --> 02:35:32,320 Speaker 2: So in the same way that we're not academics, I 2988 02:35:32,360 --> 02:35:34,480 Speaker 2: think it's also kind of proof that, like you can 2989 02:35:34,840 --> 02:35:36,959 Speaker 2: learn about stuff without having to like go to a 2990 02:35:36,959 --> 02:35:41,560 Speaker 2: class necessarily. Right, the internet is free. Like, as much 2991 02:35:41,560 --> 02:35:44,039 Speaker 2: as people deride social media, you learn a lot through 2992 02:35:44,040 --> 02:35:46,400 Speaker 2: social media. You know a lot of the what we 2993 02:35:46,440 --> 02:35:48,560 Speaker 2: do as a show. It's kind of the wild wild 2994 02:35:48,600 --> 02:35:51,960 Speaker 2: West because sometimes we step out feeding stuff and we're like, 2995 02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:53,680 Speaker 2: nobody has done this before, let's try it, you know. 2996 02:35:53,840 --> 02:35:57,640 Speaker 2: And so that's kind of the whole spirit of the 2997 02:35:57,680 --> 02:35:59,119 Speaker 2: black podcasts and stuff that we do. 2998 02:35:59,879 --> 02:36:02,320 Speaker 14: Just a couple of things I wanted to know when 2999 02:36:02,360 --> 02:36:09,360 Speaker 14: they say they've been doing a lot of podcasting TVTWT, 3000 02:36:09,400 --> 02:36:12,440 Speaker 14: I said earlier it was seventeen seventy nine. 3001 02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:16,280 Speaker 15: I was wrong. It's seventeen seventy seven. 3002 02:36:16,879 --> 02:36:17,320 Speaker 2: Oh god. 3003 02:36:19,879 --> 02:36:23,680 Speaker 1: So that's gonnamber An episode seventeen hundred and seventy seven 3004 02:36:23,840 --> 02:36:29,560 Speaker 1: episodes of their flag ships. It's not counting premiums, that's 3005 02:36:29,720 --> 02:36:30,960 Speaker 1: just flagship show. 3006 02:36:31,160 --> 02:36:33,119 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think it's like close to over one thousand 3007 02:36:33,120 --> 02:36:34,760 Speaker 4: behind the paywall. Yeah. 3008 02:36:34,800 --> 02:36:37,000 Speaker 2: And then like we guessed on people shows to a 3009 02:36:37,040 --> 02:36:39,879 Speaker 2: lot yea, which is something that specifically when we were 3010 02:36:39,879 --> 02:36:43,520 Speaker 2: starting that was some black shit because we had to 3011 02:36:43,840 --> 02:36:46,880 Speaker 2: write because we didn't really have the end socially too 3012 02:36:46,920 --> 02:36:50,600 Speaker 2: bigger podcasts, So I can't be like, hey, Mike Mark Marin, 3013 02:36:51,160 --> 02:36:55,080 Speaker 2: how at your boy? Like he's like right, So, like 3014 02:36:55,240 --> 02:36:59,360 Speaker 2: we had to kind of make ourselves hot, right, So 3015 02:36:59,400 --> 02:37:01,760 Speaker 2: it's like you might have twenty people listening a show. 3016 02:37:01,959 --> 02:37:05,560 Speaker 2: I might have ten. They might not all be listening 3017 02:37:05,600 --> 02:37:07,680 Speaker 2: to both of our shows. We should work together and 3018 02:37:07,720 --> 02:37:09,959 Speaker 2: maybe some of them will stay and stuff like that. 3019 02:37:10,120 --> 02:37:13,480 Speaker 2: And as you gets more successful in Build, I'll get 3020 02:37:13,480 --> 02:37:16,959 Speaker 2: more successful in Build, and we keep these these relationships. 3021 02:37:17,040 --> 02:37:18,400 Speaker 2: I mean for years. Some of these people are my 3022 02:37:18,440 --> 02:37:21,160 Speaker 2: best friends now. And it just started because we were like, 3023 02:37:21,560 --> 02:37:23,520 Speaker 2: hey man, you know, I love your show. It would 3024 02:37:23,520 --> 02:37:25,680 Speaker 2: be cool if we were like on there together talking shit. 3025 02:37:25,760 --> 02:37:27,360 Speaker 2: And it was like, yeah, well not, let's figure out 3026 02:37:27,360 --> 02:37:30,360 Speaker 2: the technology to do that. And we really did have 3027 02:37:30,360 --> 02:37:32,000 Speaker 2: to figure it out. But once we figured it out, 3028 02:37:32,160 --> 02:37:34,600 Speaker 2: we just consistently did that. And so a large part 3029 02:37:34,640 --> 02:37:38,880 Speaker 2: of as with a lot of black pioneer type stuff, 3030 02:37:39,080 --> 02:37:41,680 Speaker 2: a lot of it's just community based, right, So, like 3031 02:37:42,080 --> 02:37:46,240 Speaker 2: what we do well, our friends enjoy as well. It's 3032 02:37:46,280 --> 02:37:49,640 Speaker 2: not like a competition as opposed to what a lot 3033 02:37:49,640 --> 02:37:53,039 Speaker 2: of you know, a lot of any media becomes competitive. 3034 02:37:53,080 --> 02:37:55,240 Speaker 2: It's oh you got this that means I didn't get 3035 02:37:55,280 --> 02:37:58,240 Speaker 2: this thing. To us, We're like, oh my god, did 3036 02:37:58,280 --> 02:38:00,720 Speaker 2: you hear what happened? And so and so that's so great, 3037 02:38:00,879 --> 02:38:04,360 Speaker 2: you know, like because their success is still our success 3038 02:38:04,440 --> 02:38:06,920 Speaker 2: right now, Like someone will hear about them for the 3039 02:38:06,959 --> 02:38:10,840 Speaker 2: first time because they won an award at the iHeartRadio Awards, 3040 02:38:11,280 --> 02:38:13,520 Speaker 2: and then that person will listen to them for a 3041 02:38:13,520 --> 02:38:15,800 Speaker 2: while and they'll go, who's this other show they keep 3042 02:38:15,800 --> 02:38:18,680 Speaker 2: talking about? You know, the same thing. When we talk 3043 02:38:18,760 --> 02:38:21,000 Speaker 2: on our show, we try to make sure we name 3044 02:38:21,240 --> 02:38:24,640 Speaker 2: and mention the sources of like anything we've heard. So 3045 02:38:24,720 --> 02:38:30,200 Speaker 2: like if I got the phrase tanking right, which is pedantic, right, 3046 02:38:30,400 --> 02:38:32,680 Speaker 2: if that means somebody messed something up, and we make 3047 02:38:32,720 --> 02:38:34,360 Speaker 2: a joke about how you mess that thing up? Right, 3048 02:38:34,400 --> 02:38:37,680 Speaker 2: We got that from a podcast called Firestarter firestarter dot 3049 02:38:37,680 --> 02:38:40,000 Speaker 2: com podcast. I try to mention it every single time 3050 02:38:40,080 --> 02:38:44,400 Speaker 2: because someone's listening, They're like, that's a funny concept. I'm 3051 02:38:44,400 --> 02:38:46,480 Speaker 2: gonna go check out what those guys are talking about. 3052 02:38:46,720 --> 02:38:51,280 Speaker 2: They may never come back to us, right, I'm completely 3053 02:38:51,280 --> 02:38:53,360 Speaker 2: happy for that. I want people to find their podcast 3054 02:38:53,560 --> 02:38:55,879 Speaker 2: matches out there, like just swiping left and right. So 3055 02:38:56,440 --> 02:39:00,200 Speaker 2: I hope that that that change. Like these changes when 3056 02:39:00,240 --> 02:39:03,120 Speaker 2: we started were things I didn't see people doing. But 3057 02:39:03,240 --> 02:39:06,280 Speaker 2: now it's almost routine, you know, and bigger than us now. 3058 02:39:06,360 --> 02:39:09,039 Speaker 2: Like sometimes I hear like a major podcast be like 3059 02:39:09,040 --> 02:39:10,800 Speaker 2: we only take five star reviews I'm like, they don't 3060 02:39:10,800 --> 02:39:12,680 Speaker 2: even know where they got that from. But I know 3061 02:39:12,760 --> 02:39:14,160 Speaker 2: for a fact we were the first people to be like, 3062 02:39:14,200 --> 02:39:15,440 Speaker 2: don't you write no bullshit of it? 3063 02:39:15,920 --> 02:39:19,600 Speaker 4: Right? Yeah, they're not stars, right, we will read it, lie, 3064 02:39:19,680 --> 02:39:22,000 Speaker 4: but we've got to like it and our feelings will 3065 02:39:22,000 --> 02:39:24,039 Speaker 4: get hurt, you know. So it's one of those things 3066 02:39:24,080 --> 02:39:26,280 Speaker 4: I think for us as we begin to grow and 3067 02:39:26,320 --> 02:39:29,640 Speaker 4: as we begin to evolve. And also the thing about me, 3068 02:39:29,840 --> 02:39:31,760 Speaker 4: when we first started, like I said, I didn't know 3069 02:39:31,760 --> 02:39:34,760 Speaker 4: if there were rules of regulations to podcasting. You're like literally, 3070 02:39:34,920 --> 02:39:36,720 Speaker 4: because I was like, well, can I cuss? Can I 3071 02:39:36,760 --> 02:39:41,199 Speaker 4: not cuss? Because the biggest problem people have they think 3072 02:39:41,240 --> 02:39:43,960 Speaker 4: of podcasts as media, which it is, but they think 3073 02:39:44,040 --> 02:39:47,280 Speaker 4: of standard media. They think of radio, they think of television, 3074 02:39:47,320 --> 02:39:49,879 Speaker 4: they think of all these things that are constantly pushed 3075 02:39:49,879 --> 02:39:52,560 Speaker 4: in front of them. But the thing about podcasting, they 3076 02:39:52,560 --> 02:39:56,200 Speaker 4: all know rules. You can cuss, you can talk about 3077 02:39:56,240 --> 02:39:59,879 Speaker 4: your sexuality, you can tell all these great stories. 3078 02:40:00,120 --> 02:40:01,039 Speaker 2: You you don't have. 3079 02:40:00,959 --> 02:40:03,039 Speaker 4: To be a scholar, you don't have to have degrees, 3080 02:40:03,480 --> 02:40:06,240 Speaker 4: you know, to be on this platform. 3081 02:40:06,600 --> 02:40:06,840 Speaker 2: You know. 3082 02:40:07,000 --> 02:40:09,400 Speaker 4: So I think I begin to go any and I 3083 02:40:09,440 --> 02:40:12,000 Speaker 4: think the funny thing for me is that who I 3084 02:40:12,040 --> 02:40:14,400 Speaker 4: am now is not who I used to be, because 3085 02:40:14,440 --> 02:40:16,240 Speaker 4: it would be funny when people go back and they 3086 02:40:16,280 --> 02:40:18,640 Speaker 4: hear old shows, they hear it now, Like I think 3087 02:40:18,720 --> 02:40:22,160 Speaker 4: over the years, back to finding my voice, like I 3088 02:40:22,240 --> 02:40:25,680 Speaker 4: began to be more opinionated, I began to speak up. 3089 02:40:25,959 --> 02:40:28,039 Speaker 4: I began to let people know I disagree that's not 3090 02:40:28,120 --> 02:40:32,480 Speaker 4: how I feel. You know, I've learned how to I 3091 02:40:32,520 --> 02:40:34,920 Speaker 4: don't want to say debate, but I've learned how to 3092 02:40:35,120 --> 02:40:37,960 Speaker 4: stand on my ground with something if I disagree with it. 3093 02:40:38,000 --> 02:40:40,920 Speaker 2: It's funny too, because we would do the show back 3094 02:40:41,080 --> 02:40:42,680 Speaker 2: like when we first started, and then like the show 3095 02:40:42,680 --> 02:40:45,200 Speaker 2: will be over and I'd be like Karen because she 3096 02:40:45,360 --> 02:40:47,160 Speaker 2: go off like I after show, she like, oh and 3097 02:40:47,200 --> 02:40:51,680 Speaker 2: when he said this, I was like, hell no, So 3098 02:40:51,760 --> 02:40:53,720 Speaker 2: I'm like, why didn't you do this when we're recording? 3099 02:40:53,760 --> 02:40:58,480 Speaker 2: This is exactly exactly what I'm talking about now. It's like, 3100 02:40:58,560 --> 02:41:01,200 Speaker 2: but it does take people time to step into that right. 3101 02:41:01,560 --> 02:41:03,960 Speaker 2: Like I would say, also, be gentle with yourself when 3102 02:41:04,000 --> 02:41:06,800 Speaker 2: you start, because what you're doing to start, you're gonna 3103 02:41:06,800 --> 02:41:09,240 Speaker 2: be nervous. You don't know the rules, right, you don't 3104 02:41:09,280 --> 02:41:11,680 Speaker 2: know how you're gonna develop. And then when you hit 3105 02:41:11,720 --> 02:41:14,320 Speaker 2: that rhythm when you start like going, this is cool. 3106 02:41:14,360 --> 02:41:16,959 Speaker 2: This is a concept that no one else has. You 3107 02:41:17,040 --> 02:41:19,480 Speaker 2: might not start off with a snazzy concept that no 3108 02:41:19,520 --> 02:41:21,959 Speaker 2: one else has, but you might be like game show 3109 02:41:21,959 --> 02:41:25,560 Speaker 2: movie review. You might not have that until ten episodes 3110 02:41:25,560 --> 02:41:27,160 Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, we should change this to a 3111 02:41:27,160 --> 02:41:29,880 Speaker 2: game show. Now you got something that if you would 3112 02:41:29,920 --> 02:41:31,760 Speaker 2: have quit at eight episodes because you were like this 3113 02:41:31,959 --> 02:41:34,960 Speaker 2: born no one's listening, you would have never got that brilliant. 3114 02:41:35,000 --> 02:41:36,360 Speaker 2: So I think that's a big part of it. 3115 02:41:36,520 --> 02:41:39,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And one more thing too. 3116 02:41:39,520 --> 02:41:42,080 Speaker 4: What I realized is when you first start, you're gonna 3117 02:41:42,080 --> 02:41:44,160 Speaker 4: feel like you're talking into a void because when you 3118 02:41:44,200 --> 02:41:46,520 Speaker 4: first start, you just putting it out there. You don't 3119 02:41:46,560 --> 02:41:49,520 Speaker 4: know who's listening, who's not listening, particularly with the Internet, 3120 02:41:49,560 --> 02:41:51,800 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden you'll start getting little feedbacks 3121 02:41:51,840 --> 02:41:54,879 Speaker 4: on social media. You'll start getting a Twitter, Hey I 3122 02:41:54,959 --> 02:41:57,000 Speaker 4: like to show a Facebook and you be like, oh, 3123 02:41:57,240 --> 02:41:58,360 Speaker 4: people are actually listening. 3124 02:41:58,400 --> 02:41:58,600 Speaker 5: I'm not. 3125 02:41:58,640 --> 02:42:00,560 Speaker 4: I don't feel like I'm in a black pit anymore, 3126 02:42:00,840 --> 02:42:01,920 Speaker 4: just putting my voice up. 3127 02:42:01,920 --> 02:42:04,560 Speaker 2: And you have to cultivate that go where your go, 3128 02:42:04,720 --> 02:42:06,640 Speaker 2: where your feedback is coming. 3129 02:42:06,640 --> 02:42:06,840 Speaker 9: From. 3130 02:42:07,200 --> 02:42:10,400 Speaker 2: So if it's coming off of Facebook, interact to Facebook. 3131 02:42:10,440 --> 02:42:13,600 Speaker 2: Maybe start a Facebook group if you're if it's coming 3132 02:42:13,600 --> 02:42:16,360 Speaker 2: off of Twitter, go back and forth to people on Twitter. 3133 02:42:17,520 --> 02:42:20,000 Speaker 2: It's where it is, like, it could be in reviews, 3134 02:42:20,000 --> 02:42:21,959 Speaker 2: it could be everywhere. So you have to kind of 3135 02:42:22,000 --> 02:42:24,640 Speaker 2: chase it when you first start, and eventually, if you 3136 02:42:24,640 --> 02:42:26,680 Speaker 2: build up enough, people will come to wherever you want 3137 02:42:26,720 --> 02:42:28,240 Speaker 2: it to go. So like, hey, just email me, go 3138 02:42:28,280 --> 02:42:30,600 Speaker 2: to my website. But it doesn't really start like that. 3139 02:42:30,640 --> 02:42:32,640 Speaker 2: And the other thing is, do not count on your 3140 02:42:32,680 --> 02:42:34,000 Speaker 2: friends to be listening. 3141 02:42:34,080 --> 02:42:39,240 Speaker 4: And ships don't. 3142 02:42:39,360 --> 02:42:40,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they know what you think. 3143 02:42:41,160 --> 02:42:45,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, so don't like, don't don't don't be disappointed. What 3144 02:42:45,680 --> 02:42:46,280 Speaker 4: are you talking about? 3145 02:42:46,400 --> 02:42:47,680 Speaker 2: Like, if I wanted to know that ship, I would 3146 02:42:47,680 --> 02:42:50,560 Speaker 2: ask you their opinion about that. We don't talk basketball. 3147 02:42:50,600 --> 02:42:53,240 Speaker 2: I'm not listening to your podcast, right, So you like 3148 02:42:53,320 --> 02:42:55,959 Speaker 2: you have to you have to approach it that this 3149 02:42:56,080 --> 02:42:58,840 Speaker 2: is a product that is going out as well as 3150 02:42:58,840 --> 02:43:01,440 Speaker 2: being mostly your Oh, it's still a product that's going 3151 02:43:01,480 --> 02:43:02,800 Speaker 2: out to a lot of people out there. 3152 02:43:03,520 --> 02:43:06,400 Speaker 1: I just wanted to add to what Karen said about 3153 02:43:07,200 --> 02:43:10,440 Speaker 1: podcasting being sort of the wild wild West and people 3154 02:43:10,480 --> 02:43:15,000 Speaker 1: thinking about it as a media object. As media content, 3155 02:43:15,080 --> 02:43:17,160 Speaker 1: and it is. But one of the things that I 3156 02:43:17,160 --> 02:43:20,160 Speaker 1: think is unique about their podcasts and the other podcasts 3157 02:43:20,200 --> 02:43:24,320 Speaker 1: that are related to them, that whole podcast family is 3158 02:43:24,760 --> 02:43:27,400 Speaker 1: if you look at the reviews and if you talk 3159 02:43:27,840 --> 02:43:30,120 Speaker 1: to the listeners, the words that come up over and 3160 02:43:30,120 --> 02:43:32,800 Speaker 1: over again are it's like the barbershop, It's like the 3161 02:43:32,840 --> 02:43:35,200 Speaker 1: beauty shop, it's like being at church, it's like being 3162 02:43:35,240 --> 02:43:36,360 Speaker 1: with my auntie and my uncle. 3163 02:43:36,800 --> 02:43:36,920 Speaker 4: Right. 3164 02:43:37,280 --> 02:43:42,600 Speaker 1: And what is happening is people are hearing this informal conversation, right. 3165 02:43:42,640 --> 02:43:44,280 Speaker 4: These choices to be so. 3166 02:43:44,360 --> 02:43:49,039 Speaker 1: Informal and not conform to these radio formats. It's not 3167 02:43:49,080 --> 02:43:51,640 Speaker 1: a lack of professionalism. It we just don't know how 3168 02:43:51,680 --> 02:43:56,120 Speaker 1: to do better. It's a deliberate choice to cultivate this 3169 02:43:56,240 --> 02:43:59,200 Speaker 1: kind of conversation that then people are listening to and 3170 02:43:59,240 --> 02:44:03,080 Speaker 1: they're hearing the cookout with their family. They're hearing these 3171 02:44:03,600 --> 02:44:07,920 Speaker 1: conversations that happen in these explicitly black spaces. And if 3172 02:44:07,920 --> 02:44:09,920 Speaker 1: you look at the feedback from listeners, there are a 3173 02:44:09,959 --> 02:44:12,560 Speaker 1: lot of folks who are the only black person in 3174 02:44:12,640 --> 02:44:15,320 Speaker 1: their office, right, and they just. 3175 02:44:15,280 --> 02:44:17,200 Speaker 15: Take those headphones and they put them in. 3176 02:44:17,240 --> 02:44:19,840 Speaker 1: There's My favorite review is that this show could be 3177 02:44:19,920 --> 02:44:24,200 Speaker 1: called should be called dealing with white people. They take 3178 02:44:24,240 --> 02:44:28,000 Speaker 1: those headphones and suddenly it sounds like home, it sounds 3179 02:44:28,000 --> 02:44:29,760 Speaker 1: like family, it sounds like friends. 3180 02:44:30,360 --> 02:44:32,440 Speaker 15: And that's a different goal. 3181 02:44:32,959 --> 02:44:36,400 Speaker 1: Right then, I want to make a you know, a 3182 02:44:36,520 --> 02:44:41,240 Speaker 1: narrative podcast that you know is very polished. Both are good, 3183 02:44:41,560 --> 02:44:43,480 Speaker 1: but this is a very very different goal, and people 3184 02:44:43,640 --> 02:44:46,240 Speaker 1: respond to it in a particular way, which is either 3185 02:44:46,640 --> 02:44:50,960 Speaker 1: what is this, I'm gonna go listen to cereal? Or like, 3186 02:44:50,959 --> 02:44:53,440 Speaker 1: like Bandy said, I sid I didn't know I was 3187 02:44:53,440 --> 02:44:54,400 Speaker 1: holding in right,
