Speaker 2: a big Chicago hit, right, you guys love that song.

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,479

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: anymore publicly, but certainly.

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: Well listen, that's a Kelly Price song.

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: Okay, that's an interpretation. Yeah, what do you mean?

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: That's it? That is that's that's it is a Kelly Price.

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: It's technically a Kelly Price song.

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,520

27

Speaker 2: Kelly Price's beautiful legacy.

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I don't think. I don't think it's fair

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: that R Kelly gets to ruin music across the board.

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,880

00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: Shit is gonna be complicated in a similar way, I imagine,

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: And we're gonna have to wrestle whether or not Ready

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: to Die is now a problematic whole album. That's what

39
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,400

Speaker 3: in a way that I'm not sure I'll ever be

48

00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: abuse out on the younger siblings.

151
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,200

00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: It could not have been a happy household in any way,

153
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: shape or form.

154
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, before he developed a business acumen, he was

155
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: for sure the weak one. They probably didn't even know

156
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: he was gonna get richer than them. No, he was like,

157
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,880

158
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,360

Speaker 3: Jermaine was sort of like the number two and right,

160
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: and his voice was often featured on songs too. I

161
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: bet there was a long period where Jermaine was like, yeah,

162
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: Michael's the lead singer now because he's got that cute

163
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: little like thing happening. But when we both get grown

164
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: man voices, I'm gonna be the start jack, you know.

165
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: I bet like fucking Joe was in his ear like

166
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: you'll get your shine, you we got you wait, Yeah,

167
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: you gotta wait your turn kind of thing.

168
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, damn, damn. Nobody talks about. And also here's what

169
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: I think about, and then we'll get to our email.

170
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: Nobody talks about. You don't think Tito felt the brunt

171
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: of those jokes. I think I think everybody made fun

172
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 2: of Tito cause his name was Tito. You just sound

173
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: like the backup in your own family.

174
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 3: Here's what I'll say, though, I think that Tito, of

175
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: all of them, probably is doing the best, like just

176
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: as a human being. And I wonder if maybe that's

177
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: what kept him grounded, was like everybody making fun of him,

178
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: being the butt of every joke in this sort of

179
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 3: like Michael Jackson fiasco made it so that Tito don't

180
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: really like act up. He don't have no issues. You

181
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: never hear about Tito doing nothing.

182
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: Wrong, that's true. You don't think he wants to like

183
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: beat up the Waynes brothers.

184
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 3: Though, for making fun of him all those years.

185
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: They leaned hard on on that ship. It was a

186
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: lot of you do joke, you know what I mean?

187
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: It was like they're their number two go to bit.

188
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty high up. It was pretty high up.

189
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: You know what I think wants to fight them? Is uh?

190
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: I bet Scottie Pippen every time that.

191
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 4: Meme of oh yeah, Marlin President's face against the glass

192
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: and saying I'm Scottie Pippen.

193
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: I also, oh, you know who else I've been wanting

194
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: to fight them? Is he even still alive? He might

195
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: be dead shop ranks.

196
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they did that because mister ugly Man is

197
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: hilarious in Living Color. Went crazy hard at him.

198
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: That that fucking Oh my god, mister ugly Man. Oh fuck,

199
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: it's so fun. I'm gonna watch it after this.

200
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: It's so good. It's not even clever.

201
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: It's not at all. It's not at all. Even the

202
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: verses just like my fist saw dunk and make me

203
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: a little Ugrey then like.

204
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: I think he was drooling at some point. It's not concept,

205
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: it's not thought out. It's just being mean to an adult.

206
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: And I'd be lying if I said I didn't like

207
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: it as much as the original.

208
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: It might have been my favorite in Living Color sketch

209
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: when I was a kid.

210
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Dude, it's tough, it's it's top. It's up there because

211
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: fire Marshall. Bill really scared me.

212
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he made me uncomfortable. And Homie did too. If

213
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: I'm being honest with you, there was a period where

214
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: Homie was funny to me, and then there was a

215
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: period where I was like, man, he's like kind of

216
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: bad to kids. He's like mean. I don't think he

217
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: would like me. I don't like that.

218
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: I had I have a now I've learned this term

219
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: because of social media. I have a core memory. I

220
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: remember like playing I was playing with toy cars, sitting

221
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: on the floor, because you remember how kids used to

222
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: always have to sit on the floor. Do kids still

223
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: sit on the floor all the time?

224
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: Uh? My daughter has a very small chair that's not

225
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: like cushioned, but it is on the floor. But it's like,

226
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, it's sort of like a

227
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 3: dog bed if you will, for a baby.

228
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: Well, I always sat on the floor, but I have

229
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: a core memory sitting on the floor. I was playing

230
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: with like cars or something like that, and looking up

231
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: at the TV, which we had a black and white

232
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: TV now I remember for way too long. Yeah, we

233
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: had the black and white where you had to like

234
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: it had the two dials, remember.

235
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: One for turning the channels and one for turning the value.

236
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: I believe. I think it was like a double channel

237
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: fit like vhf H some shit like that. It had

238
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: two clickie dials. And we were watching that TV and

239
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: I remember looking up and seeing fire Marshall Bill put

240
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: his hand into the meat grinder and getting like I

241
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: might have started crying, but I remember being really scared.

242
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was he did some fucked up ship.

243
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: He's a burn victim. Let's fuck anyways.

244
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, victims, tell me that one time for the burn victims.

245
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah things all right, all right, this email is from Alison,

246
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: Thank you Alison. It says, Hi, Langston, proud little Mama

247
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: of Asian descent here. Okay, we're getting a lot of

248
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: emails where people say they're race with it. The first.

249
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: Which is I guess it's fair. We kind of like,

250
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: uh called them out to be like some of y'all

251
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: sound like you ate what you your conversation is about.

252
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, they're just like, hey, before you before you

253
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: fuck with me. Just now I'm aging off top anyway,

254
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: And we're fans of Asians here, we're fans of Asians.

255
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: Acknowledged David next time.

256
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: But but yeah, she said she said David first Thoughtston.

257
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: I didn't hear the David damn.

258
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I think that's a bit of a

259
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: tell main character syndrome for one. Please all right, Hi

260
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: David and Langston, proud little Mama of Asian descent here.

261
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: Thank you. In the recar in the recent mini episode,

262
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: when you gave your disclaimer to your Chinese little Mama's

263
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: followed by Jayshawn's email title titled watch your Pops. The

264
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: first thing I thought about was soda pop because when

265
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: I was a little girl growing up in the nineties,

266
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: another little girl in my neighborhood who's black, would say

267
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: to me, Oh, no, me Chinese, me play joke Miko

268
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: pp and your coach, while pulling back her eyes to

269
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: make them squinty. Fu who amongst us?

270
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: Go ahead, it is your thought.

271
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, were kids and shit rhyme? You know

272
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

273
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: I didn't know where the origins of Chinese pp and

274
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: a coke even came from. I don't think I don't.

275
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: Really know what it means.

276
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: Still, I assume that they're just like not behaving correctly

277
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: with soda pop. But like, even then, it doesn't really

278
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: make sense or or really say anything about the race.

279
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: It just all it's just shitty. It's just kids being

280
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: like shitty, right, kids, And.

281
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: The problem with it. I think for me, the reason

282
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: I said it so much was like, I just think

283
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: it's funny to go pep and your coke. And now

284
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: that if I'm really unpacking this truthfully, when I would

285
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: say it, I was saying it not to offend Chinese people,

286
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: but because I wanted to pep in your coke, because.

287
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: You wanted to be the quote unquot Chinese person being

288
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: in the coke.

289
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't look at it as a slander towards

290
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: them as much as I thought, oh, these people got good.

291
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: Friends, right, They're a silly bunch and I'd like to

292
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: be a part of that.

293
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: It's funny because you couldn't see it in the coke.

294
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: It's not like a sprite where you could tell. Yeah.

295
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: Maybe that's part of where it is too, is like

296
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: it's a stereotype about Asian people being like tricksters and

297
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: and sort of is that.

298
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: Man. I'm glad that this came up because I truly

299
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: had never unpacked it before. But it is interesting. Yeah,

300
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: whenever I did that, I never thought about it as downing.

301
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: I never thought about it as downing Chinese people. I

302
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: thought about it as fuck you, I'm gonna be in

303
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: your coke.

304
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: My guess is that the Chinese people felt differently about it.

305
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: Of course they did. It's very terrible. It's like they're

306
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: not good.

307
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: Thing goes on there, like, oh you want to be

308
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: like me? Okay?

309
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I could tell well, But I also I

310
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: don't think I was ever into Chinese people. Yeah, no, good, so,

311
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: she says, I wasn't offended by her. We grew up

312
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: in a predominantly white neighborhood, so there were other things

313
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: to be more offended about, facts like what everybody else

314
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: called that little black girl. Anyways, that's very mature of

315
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: you and also very real of you too. Yeah, that's knowledge.

316
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: You're a good one, Allison, A good person. Not Asian.

317
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: They're all good or bad. They contain layers, multitudes.

318
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: Really what you are you are multitudes.

319
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: You are multitudes. Anyways, my mama told me that the

320
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: darker the skin, the easier they are to deal with

321
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: in business.

322
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: WHOA, that's a left turn, Allison.

323
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm in My mom, a foreign born Taiwanese woman who

324
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: owned a business here in the US, would complain about

325
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: her white clients being the most difficult to deal with,

326
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 2: while her black clients were the easiest to deal with.

327
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: Her favorite clients were black people and Filipino people. Same.

328
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: Despite this, she was still pretty racist against dark black

329
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: people multitudes. She didn't like me playing with black kids

330
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: in my neighborhood growing up, would clutch her person around

331
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: black people, etc. Not sure how much research you could

332
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: do around this, but here you go. And then there's

333
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: a ps. I saw David show in Seattle earlier this year.

334
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: Towards the end of your set, you talked about how

335
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: white women doing witchcraft is bullshit, and I lolled real hard.

336
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: When the set ended and the lights came up, I

337
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: stood up to leave and turn around, and there was

338
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: this super angry looking white woman still sitting with their

339
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 2: arms crossed and um faced, and I laughed inside my

340
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: head at her. You offended some crystal healing bitch. Lol.

341
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: Loved the show. Thanks a damn delightful email all around. Also, yes,

342
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 2: my favorite part about that shoke. I love it because

343
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: you see it's like towards the end of the set too,

344
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: and you see them turn off and not come back.

345
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: It's like amazing, or they just can't keep having fun because.

346
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: They don't like it anymore because I said that their

347
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: little magic is stupid.

348
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 3: It really cut to the core of them in a

349
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 3: way that it hurts so bad.

350
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't get to be a white

351
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: lady and a witch.

352
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 5: Sorry, we're calling upon you because we have new merch

353
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 5: We have very exciting merch that we are now selling

354
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 5: and it's it's fucking great.

355
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 3: We love it so much.

356
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: Just sleek, it's sexy.

357
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: Come on, you want to tell them what we have?

358
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have three different types of hats, which is

359
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: really fun. We have a two tone hat, an alien

360
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 2: dad hat, the traditional logo in black and khaki. Then

361
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: we have the enamel pin with an alien who has

362
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 2: a coofie on it since my mama told me. And

363
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: then we have t shirts that say proud little Mama,

364
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: which is who you are.

365
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can buy the merch now, go to my

366
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: mama told me dot merch table dot com. It's a

367
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: brand new name, but it's the same old merch and

368
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: we would love for you to get some if you

369
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 3: haven't got it already, and we want you to have

370
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 3: all the sweet stuff, so get it.

371
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: How do you feel about this?

372
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 3: I I will say that at the first line, the

373
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: byline of the theory, I felt nervous that it was

374
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: implying easy when she was saying dark skin people are

375
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: easier to deal with it meant like not as bright

376
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 3: or not as like cunning in their business comings and goings.

377
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: Easier to put pp in their.

378
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: Coat, Yes, I thought I thought the implication was something

379
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 3: more I guess offensive frankly, and that that made me go,

380
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: I don't know about this, but I do think if

381
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: I look back on it more, which I think the

382
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 3: intention of what Alison is saying is very much real.

383
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: That she's like, look, my mom was saying, I enjoyed

384
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: doing business with them more and felt like it was

385
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: more effective business workings with darker skinned people. That to

386
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: me actually rings somewhat true. I think that, like in general,

387
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: the instinct is to get the work done and sort

388
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 3: of like in a more like reasonable, peaceful manner as

389
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: it comes to like business, especially with black business owners,

390
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: because everybody wants to be cool and not seem like

391
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: an asshole, whereas I think white business is built on

392
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: the idea that, like, to be at the top, you

393
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 3: must be a dick.

394
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: I feel like it depends on the industry m to

395
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 2: be completely honest, say, say examples, was she in a

396
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: service industry job? Was she selling insurance? Did she in

397
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: a restaurant? Like? What was the what was the job?

398
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: Because I feel like in most things, yes, I would

399
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 2: I would tend to agree with this because of that,

400
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: Like I think about like every job you ever had,

401
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: you have like an old black man or woman who

402
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: hates it there, truly despises the system, talk shit to everyone,

403
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: but you can't say anything because they're the best of

404
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: the job type shit, you know what I'm saying. But

405
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 2: I do think sometimes in the service industry particular, I've

406
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: gone to some it's like, oh, boy when he went

407
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: to Atlanta and he was like, these are gus ripping

408
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: you guys off. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean, right, Like,

409
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 2: so I don't I've overpaid for services sometimes, you know

410
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

411
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think of it less in terms of like

412
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: the service that the customer is receiving when I say

413
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: all of this, oh, the business and I think business

414
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 3: person to business person is what she's referring to, not

415
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 3: necessarily like customer service, because I do agree, I've never

416
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 3: had like great service in Atlanta. It's always I've had

417
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 3: to go back and forth like four times this month alone,

418
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: or like and literally every time. The car service is

419
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 3: like a driver texting me like, hey, just come outside,

420
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: I'll just keep circling around. You come outside when you

421
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 3: got your bag instead of like doing it the way

422
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 3: you know what I mean that like they're told to

423
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: be done kind of thing.

424
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: I went to a rappers rib establishment and it took

425
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: like it was takeout and I had to wait online

426
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: for like an hour and a half. Yeah, no, it's

427
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: it's like, man, this is not how it goes at

428
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 2: Noodles and Company.

429
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 3: No it's not. And any other circumstances, y'all would not

430
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: accept this.

431
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: And the food was reason Yeah, but it was expensive

432
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: as shit too, and I.

433
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 3: Was just like, damn half of free takeout.

434
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: And not even like yeah for takeout, like it was

435
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: just a little you're just sitting there, you know what

436
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: I mean.

437
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: That's nuts.

438
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just food specifically that I feel like maybe

439
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: we fall short because other than that, you know what

440
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 2: I mean, I love my black doctor Barber's always do

441
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: that thing. Come on, yeah, really, because I try to

442
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: patronize black people and anything that I can. And the

443
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: more that I think about it, it is like food

444
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: is where it tends to fall short over everything, which

445
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: is crazy because I think it is one of our

446
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: best exports.

447
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 3: I think it is as skill that we have mastered

448
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 3: more than most and I think because of that, there's

449
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: a casualness to the culture around food, right, because our

450
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 3: food is our home food, and therefore you sort of

451
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 3: like bring your home ass energy into the business, and

452
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: those aren't always good combinations, you know what I mean.

453
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: Like it's a lot of like aunties and uncles sort

454
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 3: of in charge, and you don't want your aunties and

455
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: uncles in charge of businesses.

456
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 2: Right, I think that's reasonable, so yeah, but I mean

457
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: business wise otherwise, I mean, I think even within maybe

458
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: now that I'm thinking about it, maybe more in entertainment.

459
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 2: It's kind of a mixed bag too. I guess I

460
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: feel like we contain multitudes.

461
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: I just can't say multitudes.

462
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: I think it's like, sometimes it's great. I think there

463
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: are some grifters out there in every as there are

464
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: tons of white people who are not great to do

465
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: business with.

466
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but again, I think if we remove ourselves as

467
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 3: customers from the conversation, I imagine just the ease of

468
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 3: the business, it might be more likely to be an

469
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: easy experience with a darker skinned person than it is

470
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 3: a white person who, like, you know, it's the Wolf

471
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 3: of Wall Street shit where you're like, truly you're trained

472
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 3: to admire like killers and fucking sociopaths, and these business

473
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: situations that that's just not how we're brought up, you

474
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like it's part of the reason

475
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 3: Didty sort of became such a We're talking a lot

476
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 3: about Ditty today, but it is part of the reason

477
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: he became like sort of like this iconic black mogul

478
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 3: is because he made being an asshole look cool to

479
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: black people.

480
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: For the first time.

481
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: And I don't know that we had a lot of

482
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: examples of that before him. That's interesting, Like we didn't

483
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 3: know Russell Simmons was a piece of shit when he

484
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: was at his height.

485
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: I feel like, maybe not just Didy, I feel like

486
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 2: the hip hop mugal in general. I think before that,

487
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: to be successful in black business, you did have to

488
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: have a level of I'm doing this for the community. Yeah.

489
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 3: Even Barry Gordy, right, we thought he was not We

490
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: knew stuff about him, but we thought his main goal

491
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: was still the uplifting of the people around him. Like

492
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: there was sort of like this civil rights tint on

493
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: top of everything that he was doing.

494
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: Right, it wasn't just it wasn't just like fuck you,

495
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: I get money.

496
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the hip hop mugul truly was just like

497
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: fuck you, I get money. There is no other part of.

498
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: This right right, right, right right, And that's not and

499
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that's blanket statement to all hip hop

500
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 2: mugals or anything like that, but I do think the

501
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: general tone and what it meant to run a black

502
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 2: business had changed.

503
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I'd agree with that, and.

504
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 2: I think that that was kind of the advent of

505
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: that was like the Bad Boy Records death row type era.

506
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: But on the flip, the Koch Brothers have always been that, right,

507
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 3: you know what I mean exactly, exactly, exactly exactly. Ford

508
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: was built on that premise of fuck you, I get money.

509
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 3: They have their proprieties where they pretend like that's not

510
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: the case, but it very much is built into the

511
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: systems that they've laid in front of us. And so

512
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: I imagine when you're dealing with a white business owner,

513
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: there is sort of a fuck you, I get money

514
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: ass approach to every conversation, whereas black people are a

515
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: little more like, hey, I'm just trying to keep my

516
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: sweet business afloat as strategy.

517
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: I guess in terms of white when dealing with white

518
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: people in general, they don't seem to be community based

519
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: in the same way you don't have to be right, right,

520
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: which is I mean, to me, it always rings sad,

521
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: like damn, it's just you.

522
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think there's something about it?

523
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: I don't think they know any different, But I do

524
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: think that that statement all things come out in the wash.

525
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: I I think I think that they are a lonelier

526
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: group because they don't have a large like even when

527
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: people are like, I'm white, blah blah blah. I don't

528
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: know how well they do tap into that and feel that,

529
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: but maybe they do. But to me, they've always there,

530
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: always seems to be a tinge of loneliness to their endeavors. Yeah,

531
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: but I don't know, I really, I really, I don't

532
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: know what they think. That's not what this podcast is about.

533
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: Brother, Well, Alas and I hope that this answers your question.

534
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: I'm not sure sure that we have we are the

535
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 3: best people to be answering this question, as neither of

536
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: us really runs a business, especially not a successful one, Allison.

537
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: I mean we have blown outs, right, You a corporation?

538
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we both are our corporations, I guess, but but

539
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 3: that that means nothing other than just figuring out ways

540
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: around tax Yeah.

541
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 2: I think problems truly a scam.

542
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh, we are being scammed. We get paid in large

543
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 3: lump sums that they well, relax, relax, right, No, we

544
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 3: get paid in briefcases full of cash.

545
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: All right.

546
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: They get cut in half and then cut in another

547
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: twenty five because of people who are employed and we're

548
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: not always sure what they're doing, and so uh, yeah,

549
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: it becomes complicated for us to just pay taxes the

550
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: same way that other people pay taxes.

551
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: I just want to refund. I want to feel that

552
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: February again. That used to be the best time of

553
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: year for me. February when the tax check came in.

554
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: Come on, Yeah, remember how good that felt.

555
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I've always and this is probably the wrong instinct,

556
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 3: I've always not looked what at the at the number

557
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: that's coming, just so I could be like surprised by

558
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: the number.

559
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: Like so I could, oh, like when you did turbo tax,

560
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: you didn't, you didn't, you didn't look.

561
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: I didn't want to like dig too deep into the

562
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: specifics because I wanted to let the check be like, ah,

563
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 3: you're welcome, yay.

564
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: Oh.

565
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: I needed to know exactly how many pairs of shoes

566
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: I could have in my East Bay shopping cart online? Sure,

567
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: or wherever I was buying shoes, I had a fake

568
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: Jordan's period or in the early odds that was not great.

569
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: I was on it early though. I was buying them

570
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 2: from China before most people were doing that.

571
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: And shout out to East Bay Rip East Bay. Yeah, man,

572
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: you surge me fucking well. Come on throughout my youth,

573
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 3: and I had probably bought one thing out of that.

574
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say it was an aspirational magazine.

575
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: It was like reading Forbes for young tweens.

576
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 3: Me and my boys during lunch time, we just just

577
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: sit there, just just looking at East Bay together and

578
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 3: talking about what we was gonna get that we knew

579
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: goddamn we'd get them. Choose.

580
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: I remember asking people, did you get the new East Bay? Yeah,

581
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: because goddamn, I don't know how they did it, but

582
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: they had all our addresses. Dog.

583
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: I was so excited when that new East page come on. Oh,

584
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: especially the summer one, right before school started. You had

585
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: all these plans. I never bought anything in East Bay.

586
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: I should get an east bad man. If I got

587
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 3: East Bay now, it's like you ever go to video

588
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: arcade as an adult and spent too much money. That

589
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: would be me an East Bay I would get. I

590
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 3: would get all kinds of shoes. You don't have to

591
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 3: go to an ventage shop to get an East Bay

592
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: magazine and just pretend to be able to order stuff

593
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 3: to get you know what I always yeah, there there

594
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 3: could put they're done. You know what I always wanted

595
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: was those moon shoes out of there. I wanted those.

596
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: You remember the biometric shoes.

597
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that had the big circle at the front of them,

598
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 3: and they were jump walked on your tiptoes.

599
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do remember those. They was crazy, yeah,

600
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: and there was no heel, so you had to stay

601
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: on the toe, right.

602
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: You had to stay on your tiptoes. And oh yeah,

603
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: I want I wanted Jay's. I wanted the Tim Hardaway's.

604
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: I wanted the Gary Payton's. There were a bunch of

605
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: shoes that came in that magazine that I remember distinctly,

606
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: but that fucking that, those fucking shoes. I was like,

607
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: that might be the difference maker. I'm gonna dunk by

608
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: eleventh grade or whatever. I thought.

609
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 2: That's how I felt about all their accessories. I was like, Okay,

610
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: if this season I can get the cold gear with

611
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,959
Speaker 2: these cleats with my name on them. The cold weather

612
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: Nike gloves. You know what I mean? If I can

613
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: get all this the spat the spats, if I could

614
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: get all this ship, there's no way I don't get

615
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: go at least D two.

616
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 3: It's wild.

617
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: Didn't work that way, but you know, shout out to

618
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: the East Bay family. I hope you guys are doing well.

619
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're thinking about you always.

620
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 4: On tones to this episode. It really won a lot

621
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 4: of places. Yeah, it took a lot of turns. We

622
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 4: started with a light nostalgic racism about the Chinese and

623
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 4: found our way to the East Bay catalog and who

624
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,560
