<v Speaker 3>shade like we honestly like we love for like initially

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 3>when we when we shop this show, like the music

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 3>was supposed to be it would have been if we

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 3>could have cleared it, and the rights would have been.

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>The music to play at the beginning of this of

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>this segment. So yes, we are definitely huge, and you

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>know what, stranger things have happened.

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, after this episode she hears it and she's like, no,

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>I get the rights. Get the rights.

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Listen and I would cry. I literally would cry, right yeah,

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>if you are listening, we would love the rights. But

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>with that being said, we are going to jump into

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>this segment and we are going to ask as we start,

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>who are if you if you could name two comedians

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>who helped kind of center your comedy e E, who

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>would those comedians be? And then Joeho, I'll throw it

0:03:59.280 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to you and then I'll.

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Go, Okay. So I think it's actually great that we're

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 4>talking about Tisha in the seriousness of how important she

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 4>is because the two people I would name, one's Martin

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 4>Lawrence Martin, you know, from the stage, like from stand

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 4>up on the stage, transitioning into network television. I think

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 4>he's just truly truly iconic on both levels and created

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 4>things that have just transitioned from one generation to the

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 4>next generation. And but the thing about Martin is, as

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 4>a thirty six year old, like, it's just that everything

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 4>about it encapsulates like my childhood at lessons for the style,

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 4>the colors, the the way that we were as black

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 4>people freer to just communicate as us on network TV

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 4>was really gorgeous. But my favorite, favorite, favorite, favorite thing

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 4>about that sitcom, especially when you compare it to a

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 4>lot of other sitcoms led by stand up comics, Martin,

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 4>every single performer stood out lead, supporting, recurring. Every single

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 4>character on that show was a standout. Tisha Campbell to

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 4>she and everyone was doing the work, yeah, to make

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 4>that thing iconic and memorable for the ages. And the

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 4>other person I would say is Evettlee Bowser. Yes, Living

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Single another iconic show that really gave you a lot

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 4>of other shows like it, you know, namely a show

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 4>called Friends, which then you know itself, I guess inspired

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 4>to hold a bunch of other mediocre, mediocre white shows,

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 4>but Living Single is another one. Again, from the communications

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 4>of the style to the performances of every character, it

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 4>is just such a powerful thing that to this day,

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 4>both of those shows I still watch, I still crack

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 4>and I'm still incredibly impressed by the work that everybody

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 4>did on those shows, performing, writing, and.

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 1>What I love about you sharing about Living Singles. So

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I never knew, actually until like maybe a couple of

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>like maybe I would say months ago that I guess, uh,

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the Max Max's character was never supposed to be on

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>the show, Like that was a whole Yeah, never supposed to.

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>They didn't want Max on the show. And Lawyer, Yeah,

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's the reason why they have her quote unquote

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>being the neighbor across the street is because they were

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>trying to basically write her out of the show, and

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I actually fought for it and said, if you don't

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>have Max, you don't have a show. So shout out

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to both you know, I go ahead, go ahead.

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 4>It was brilliant that she lived across the street but

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 4>was still a central part of Yeah. Yeah usually just

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 4>find some way for her to live in the building

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 4>to or live upstairs, and it was iconic that she

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 4>was as like accomplished and strong and outspoken that she was,

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 4>but she was also the friend that was going to

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 4>leave her house and always be in your house. Again.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we all have all have that person person.

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I always say, if I live closer to Joho, I

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>would always be at her house eating that I would

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>be mad. Yeah, I would be Max if I literally

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>lived near you, vice versa, if you live closer than me,

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>you would have When.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 4>They came in with some girl streets and Max Wicks,

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 4>she just bust in the house and started went through.

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 4>She got the oreoles and was like, y'all didn't get

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 4>the double stuck, Like you didn't what you don't even even.

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I live, I live, What about you? Johoker.

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well, I love I love your answer because your

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.239
<v Speaker 3>answers I feel like they wan like like they're rooted

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 3>in like like a really historical context for like for

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 3>black comedies. So I feel a little bit silly that,

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 3>like like mine isn't it isn't as like thoughtful. But

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 3>I really, I really, I really loved I really love

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Natasha Rothwell so so much like I think like her

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 3>like like like her comedy, her writing, and I know

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 3>she wouldn't listly. I know she would as as as

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 3>a comedian like some who does stand up, but like

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 3>her writing is so brilliant, So what's about her acting

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 3>is amazing?

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Like she and buys the character so well.

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 3>I like, as we discussed last episode, she has so

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 3>much range, right, like going going from Kelly to to

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Melinda White Lotus to to Melissa.

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh and how did I alone? Like the range is amazing.

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I never feel like I never feel

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 3>tired of watching her. And I mean like, and Kelly's

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 3>a character I can watch number like I will often

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.320
<v Speaker 3>quote I quote Kelly often like in this.

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I did like walka it was it was cute. That's

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the word the one with yes yes but I don't

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:08.720

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, because she's not.

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>She was also in love Simon to Oh, yes, I

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>forgot that there was there was one other movie that

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>she was in where she was a pivotal part of

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the of the movie.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I forget.

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, oh, I know I've seen again to your point

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>at yes, like like there's no.

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Role and like in which she can't do. And I

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 3>really just love the way she commits to the work.

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 3>And also I think her, like again, let me to

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:37.079
<v Speaker 3>her writing.

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Her genius is really there.

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 3>I also really love I don't have to say his

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 3>last name, so I'm gonna say it's Jay Jorden, Jay Jardon.

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I take.

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 2>It's like just his delivery is really good, like he

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:50.719
<v Speaker 2>I think, I don't.

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't do a lot of comedians like that, but

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a livery is fantastic. I just did recently.

0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Oh, this man is just like really

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 3>funny and kept going into it. Feel like in a

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 3>way that like really dances on the line of what's

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 3>good or like what's not good to do, like, especially

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 3>especially as a queer black person. So I really enjoy

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 3>his stuff, and then I would definitely do like like

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned for Michelle Buteux, I think.

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 2>She does.

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Like you think you said to.

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Like, I just can like everything she does.

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, girl, what how do you think of this?

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 3>And yes, I want I want a new special, I

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.959

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>book is fantastic. Her book is absolutely fantastic. I will

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 1>say chapters I think is chapter three and chapter five

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>for me is like it's just it's really interesting to

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>see someone be able to kind of take themselves out

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 1>of the industry and kind of give that roundabout look

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of like what she's going through in the industry, and

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>also like still infuse her life into it. I don't know,

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>she just has a way with words, but I that

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.319
<v Speaker 1>woman is everything to me. Like I've met her maybe

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.199
<v Speaker 1>once or twice, and she's always been so she's one

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>of the people in the industry like yourself, where her

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>name supersedes her like when you mentioned her name, people

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>have always said that she's a great person.

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Everything's okay, And.

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.280

<v Speaker 1>everything to me, Like there's not like the Bernie mac show.

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Genius writing in terms of the sitcom Paul Mooney, like

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 1>him being able to take social justice issues and being

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 1>able to make them funny but also so raw and

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 1>thought provoking enough to where even you, as a black person,

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>he was like, Oh, I never thought about that, Like

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy.

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I loved them Paul Mooney, whether it was through

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 4>his own work and or you know, building with Richard pryor, Yeah, yeah,

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 4>Paul Mooney did this beautiful thing where he would say

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 4>the thing in this crowd of white faces and make

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 4>them eat it. Oh yeah, they would just have to

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 4>eat it, and they would just have to eat it,

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 4>but also laugh because the ship.

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Was funny, funny, but he was essentially.

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Reading reading everybody. He was saying the thing, and he

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 4>said it a little bit of sauce.

0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:58.000

<v Speaker 1>What May he Rest in peace forever is just the

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 1>quintessential what I believe, Like, if you are wanting to

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the folks that you really should start to study and

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>really look into and start thinking about, like how do

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you frame your comedy? Like Paul Mooney Bernie mac lunell,

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.000

<v Speaker 1>this idea of how do we take what's going on

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>in the world and utilize that as content? And so

<v Speaker 1>really started talking about kind of what inspired you to

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>go on this this what I'm calling, well, or at

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.880

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff that was going on around you funny?

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm sure a lot of it was heavy and

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it probably impacted you in different ways,

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.159
<v Speaker 1>and so how did you kind of, you know, just

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 1>being really being transparent, like, how did you pull yourself

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>out of that moment where you're looking around and you're going,

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 1>ain't shit funny? But now I'm gonna still find a

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>reason to make y'all laugh about it.

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 4>It was a good question. I think that by the

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 4>time I decided to turn the experience of my suicide

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 4>attempt last year into a stand up show, I was

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 4>kind of already laughing at it. But by that point,

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, I had been in the hospital, I'd been

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 4>in you know, this post hospital program. I've been you know,

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 4>and constant as I still am constant communication with my

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 4>psychiatrist and my mom and stuff. So I was kind

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:16.360
<v Speaker 4>of already in the process of healing by the time

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 4>I started writing so it. I don't know. I think

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 4>just addressing the issue had on and committing to recovery,

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 4>as scary as it was, was kind of what set

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.720
<v Speaker 4>the foundation for me to be able to laugh at

0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 4>it and joke at about it. But like, my humor

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 4>is already so self deprecating in everything, so I never

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 4>really had a problem telling the story or making a

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:54.120
<v Speaker 4>joke about it. I figured I would. But yeah, once

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 4>I kind of started to feel grounded again after the experience,

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 4>and you know, like I was coming out of the dark.

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.439
<v Speaker 4>If you will, I feel you, yeah, I feel that, like, Okay, well,

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.880
<v Speaker 4>what's my assignment and what do I make out of it?

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 4>And that's how it's.

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 1>I know, that's right. Yeah, I asked.

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 3>The answer is really meaningful one for me on a

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 3>personal level because when I was younger, I went through

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:21.720
<v Speaker 3>I then through a societem as well too, And I

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 3>like when I tell a story about it to me,

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.439
<v Speaker 3>it's funny and people are like, that's right.

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, she's just sure.

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 3>But like also like I fucking like broke my clauset

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 3>doing it like it's funny.

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm almost fun than me. She's a girl, right, but

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:35.159
<v Speaker 2>it's funny.

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 3>But I and so that I have a questions I

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.719
<v Speaker 3>was gonna be ask you about about your career process.

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:41.120
<v Speaker 3>You do want to ask you, but I also want

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:43.439
<v Speaker 3>me I'd like, you know, they got part two of it,

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 3>So one I would love to hear more about, like

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 3>your career process with me the tour, like you know,

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 3>what was it she make make a material who helped

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 3>you along?

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Helped you along the way, But also what.

0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 3>About the tour like like might actually also be part

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.119
<v Speaker 3>of the like recovery and healing process.

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a good question.

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a really good question. I think everyone's process

0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 4>in writing comedy for the stage is different. I think

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:13.359
<v Speaker 4>I was fortunate here as opposed to when I was

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 4>touring stand up before, because this was so much about

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 4>history and an experience that I kind of just ran

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 4>through what happened and found the funny in the moments.

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 4>And there was a lot of it because this took

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 4>place at Coachella, so like wow, okay, like of course,

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:45.120
<v Speaker 4>if you'll watched the video, the faces making yeah yes, yeah,

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean so there was a lot to say, not

0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 4>even just about that because for me and I think

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 4>this is just the way that my mind works, there

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:58.919
<v Speaker 4>was a lot of zooming out that took place in

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 4>the actual career, a process and asking myself, well, why

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.920
<v Speaker 4>did we act, why did we react this way? Why

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 4>did we feel this thing? Why did we wear that?

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 4>You know? You know what I mean?

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Make it makes sense girl? Yeah, yeah, it makes sense girl, right.

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 4>And so I think like mucking around and all of

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 4>that was what helped me kind of carve the story

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 4>out itself. And then the healing part of it, I

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 4>think is just I always use this word like incessantly assignment.

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 4>I feel like people in my life are probably tired

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 4>of like I do feel a sort of spiritual assignment

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 4>to communication, and I felt like, I don't know immediately,

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:59.679
<v Speaker 4>once I got the strength to start writing or just

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.919
<v Speaker 4>feel like I could laugh about it, I was like, Okay,

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:08.399
<v Speaker 4>this is meant for me to share with others because

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't have a problem laughing about it. I know

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 4>of a problem making fun of myself in this situation,

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.719
<v Speaker 4>but I think that for many other people who are

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 4>going through the same thing, and many people, many people

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 4>don't get as far as I might ask.

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:33.639
<v Speaker 1>But there yeah, or are just pestered by the ideation constantly.

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 4>And so I was like, well, I'm gonna just be

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 4>the fool that I am, the natural dymass that I am,

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 4>and make fun of my situation, be honest about it,

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 4>and hopefully it can connect with other people who can

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:48.400
<v Speaker 4>see what like, all right, this thing happened to him

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:50.400
<v Speaker 4>and he's able to joke about it. I don't really

0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 4>know what fun I think that is the healing part

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 4>of it for me, and the people who have graciously

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 4>seen it so far said like, all this really meant

0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.200
<v Speaker 4>a lot to me. I'm going through something very similar.

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I also think it provides a really different different.

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Like like like narrative in the story that people tell,

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 3>like like about about folks who attend self harm and

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.239
<v Speaker 3>survive self harm, because stories we tell is like then

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 3>that person is like the person is like is like

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:25.919
<v Speaker 3>plugged by it, and they're like like and they're like

0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 3>they're like they're forever said never joyful again, which is

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:32.439
<v Speaker 3>like like so untrue and so and so I imagine for

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 3>folks as as maybe for them if it's jarring for

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:37.240
<v Speaker 3>them that that you're that you're making it, you're building,

0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:40.879
<v Speaker 3>you built a combat tour around it. It's also like

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 3>like this actually could also be allowed to so you

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.120
<v Speaker 3>don't have to you don't have to live in that pain.

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 2>You you can do something different about that and make

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>it something else. And that's really really incredible. So thank

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 2>you for sharing that.

0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I and I was gonna say to your point,

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:55.679
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the things I I even in

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:58.880
<v Speaker 1>my own like you know, going through it and going back,

0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:01.199
<v Speaker 1>sometimes people will act about my own attempts when I

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>was younger, and you know, even up to I was

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 1>even saying like, up till a couple of years ago,

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I was still in the mind of like I don't

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.160
<v Speaker 1>know if I'm supposed to be here but I think

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that they're you know, to that word assignment. I think

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that's something that we all kind of battle with because

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the whole purpose, I guess, of our life is asking

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the question of like why am I here? Yeah, when

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:20.399
<v Speaker 1>am I here what I've been called to do? Why

0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 1>am I supposed to do it? And I even think about,

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the little moments and me and Joho know this,

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 1>like where folks will reach out to us and we'll say,

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, your show did this or you said this

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:30.960
<v Speaker 1>on the show and it helped. And so I'm I'm

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 1>imagining that there's someone who goes to your show their

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.919
<v Speaker 1>heart is heavy, right, and they're feeling like everything is

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, what's going on around them, and then you

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 1>give them that ability to just kind of say, actually,

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 1>it's it's you know, it's bad, but it's not all bad, right,

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 1>And I think that that, for me, is what's so

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:51.440
<v Speaker 1>beautiful about you, you utilizing your platform that you have

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>to remind people of that. And so I was gonna ask, like,

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.639
<v Speaker 1>how did you get to the title life is Better?

0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 1>How did you land on that being kind of the

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>soul topic of your show? Because you could have went

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:07.720
<v Speaker 1>with it anywhere right, and really thinking about like how

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 1>how does that tie into your life being better?

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Now? So the show was initially when I first wrote

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:18.840
<v Speaker 4>it and performed it, I called it sometimes Dead is Better.

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, dark Okay, Now why this used to be

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:26.160
<v Speaker 1>a part.

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.439
<v Speaker 4>I used to explain this in the show when I

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:33.119
<v Speaker 4>started touring it, and obviously the name was differently A

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:37.199
<v Speaker 4>few people, I guess did it the title. So I

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 4>say that when I would say that to the show,

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.639
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people would be like, oh, girls, I'm like,

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:45.239
<v Speaker 4>I thought this ship was funny, but I oh she

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:49.879
<v Speaker 4>Like a lot of my followers are not big horror fans. Yeah,

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 4>pet Cemetery, Okay, it's a very classic like the line

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:58.320
<v Speaker 4>of the book and film is sometimes dead is Better.

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 4>When talking about this, for naturally, I remember that brings

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 4>people to lie. I remember that, and so I think

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 4>that like that was the name of it because I

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 4>was making fun of my mindset at the time, also

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 4>like paying homage to this, and people were also in

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 4>the throws. I've just been out of the hospital. I

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 4>was feeling, you know, better than I do where I

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 4>went in the hospital. But again to the point of

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:34.160
<v Speaker 4>like assignment and purpose and like why am I here?

0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 4>Why did I survive the attempt? Blah blah blah. It

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:42.679
<v Speaker 4>was different than when I, you know, went back and

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 4>punched up jokes and lived more. And the reason I

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 4>think that I changed it to life is Better. First

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 4>of all, keep in mind, I met Beyonce between those titles.

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, right, so yeah, yeah, life is better? Yea

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and we and we so before you even walked in here,

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:08.360
<v Speaker 1>let's let's let's let's put a pause there, like we

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:10.679
<v Speaker 1>were like, how do we ask that question without it

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 1>coming across as if the whole interview is just about

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 1>you meeting Beyonce.

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Because it's not, because it's not.

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:19.280
<v Speaker 1>This is really about in all, sup right, But like.

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 4>We have like we like we have to like no

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 4>way to act like journalistically, like you have to ask

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be like so it doesn't make sense to

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 4>not like how do you not? But also like yes,

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.960
<v Speaker 4>it is an import but if you want to share, yes,

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 4>you bets in between, right, we get in between these titles,

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 4>and I still would to get to life is better?

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 1>But how did it meeting Beyonce make your life better?

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you why. First of all, I met Beyonce

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 4>like what.

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 2>We're going to say.

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 4>You can't say yeah full side, you have to keep mind.

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:01.119
<v Speaker 4>Krystal and I were asked to be a part of

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 4>an ad for one of her latest business ventures, and

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:08.840
<v Speaker 4>then we were asked to come to an event that

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:11.160
<v Speaker 4>she was at, and then we were asked to come

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:14.120
<v Speaker 4>into a private room and meet her. Based off of

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like, I like, I'm not gonna cry,

0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 4>but like I feel emotion now I'm just talking about it,

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 4>based off of me being this quirky, loudmouth queer Jamaican

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:31.920
<v Speaker 4>American you know, former bullied you know now I'll beat

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 4>your ass type of whoever, yes, give it, give it, yeah,

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 4>kid who just moved to New York and was like, friend,

0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 4>will you do this thing with me when we're talking shit?

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:47.920
<v Speaker 4>And it it allowed me an opportunity to communicate someone

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 4>who I don't just admire as a pop star, but

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 4>I admire. I say this all the time. I admire

0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 4>her work at the saying I admire how much she

0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 4>I admire how much she means am I okay, let

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 4>me reword this. I admire how much she knows how

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:07.280
<v Speaker 4>much she means to you know what I mean that

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 4>I've always always admired her, and so I think that

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 4>it was just like I was so emotional about that

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 4>because I was like nigga people, And I think I

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 4>said this on the podcast, people like y'all and everybody

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 4>else who have been a part of this journey for us,

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 4>with us for over a decade, crowd surfed us into

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 4>this room to meet this lady. Yeah, And so that,

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I say is a part of it because it was

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 4>a reminder that I'm not just my mama's baby and

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 4>my daddy's baby, which I've also been able to buy

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:50.840
<v Speaker 4>virtue of being myself experienced things that people would only

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 4>dream of experiencing. That along with things like my best

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 4>friend having her first child and being able to see

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 4>him grow month by month by month, you know what

0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, little time things like building bonds with my siblings,

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 4>all of these things. I'm like, I don't know what's

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:15.160
<v Speaker 4>on the other side of right right right, right, right,

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 4>right right, But I think I prefer the fact that

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm here getting to experience these little things. Even though

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:27.120
<v Speaker 4>life still ain't ship and it's still.

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh honey, let's talk about.

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 4>It, plagued with constant nonsense.

0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like me having to pay twenty dollars to park

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 1>across the street. I'm still pissed off about it. Yeah,

0:30:36.080 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm still pissed, but it is what it is. But yes,

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to your point, I feel you.

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 4>What's going on?

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I understand, guess is six ninety nine a gallon out here?

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 4>What is?

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 1>What is going on?

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a lot going on, And so I'm just

0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 4>like screaming. That's the thing about life is better to

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:03.160
<v Speaker 4>me is that it's not. I don't find the show

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 4>to be necessarily optimistic right right right experience, And personally, I'm.

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Glad I'm not dead, No, and I'm i I you know,

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm really trying to save We're gonna get to it

0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 1>in a minute later down in the show, but I'm

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to save it, and I'm just I'm glad. I

0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:23.880
<v Speaker 1>am glad. I want to say this, like and all

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of the funny of this. I am glad you're still

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>here because I don't think you would know. And I'll

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 1>share with you later of how you inspired me, but

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I would have never gotten to tell you how much

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you've inspired me and the show and a lot of

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the stuff I do. And and also on top of that,

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I would have been able to know

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>people that I know that know and are very close

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 1>and connected to you, like my friendship with Chris and Nick,

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Xavier Delo, my friendship with Jade, like my friendship with

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>with quite a few people who are in your circle.

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm grateful that you're still here to inspire

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>all of us to do what we do. So yeah,

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say.

0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 3>That, you know, in the in the same vein that

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 3>you said you appreciate that Beyonce knows what she means

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 3>to people, I really do hope that you know what

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 3>you mean to people as well too.

0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 4>That's the thing that's coming off of this. I mean,

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 4>I've always really really appreciated people paying any kind of

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:28.720
<v Speaker 4>attention to anything, from whatever number of people it is,

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 4>and I think that's also been a huge part of

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 4>what's giving me anxiety.

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Be perfect.

0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:43.080
<v Speaker 4>And like now I've learned to accept that I'm enough

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 4>in who I am give myself a break. And I

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 4>also am like accepting that my voice matters yea, and

0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:58.040
<v Speaker 4>people appreciate it. And that's a one of a lifetime

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 4>kind of thing. And it's such a freakish bless it is.

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 3>It's it's a super it's a heavy thing to carry,

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 3>like when someone tells you that, like and I want

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 3>to like acknowledge, like I know it's heavy and I

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 3>and so like when I say that, I hope you

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 3>know how much mean to others.

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 2>I like, I don't want to say it to frighten you,

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 2>because I know it's because.

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Beautiful and like interally like you like you but both

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 3>you and Crystal and and like and the re itself

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 3>like those are you know, three individual things that means

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 3>so much to too many people and to people who

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:30.960
<v Speaker 3>are right here you really it's so special and I

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:34.600
<v Speaker 3>think you know, so that comes to mind because like

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:36.479
<v Speaker 3>like as you you know, as you're as you as

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 3>you're shaying something of like the the idea that as

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 3>young black queer people or do you guys people on

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 3>society anyways, we're also this idea that like like like

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:50.320
<v Speaker 3>they all gets better with age, but no one and

0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 3>like you know, like yes, like time time he knows

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 3>everything I wasnt says, but like but there but there

0:33:56.840 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 3>isn't as focused. There isn't smucial focus as like like

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 3>life gets better like also when you make it so

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.760
<v Speaker 3>and having the tools to make it so, and no

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 3>one talks about like what we have to endure and

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:12.240
<v Speaker 3>endure to to do it, Like like life, life gets better,

0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:14.799
<v Speaker 3>but you also have to fight for it to get better,

0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 3>and to fight to fight for yourself.

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:18.280
<v Speaker 2>You got you got, you gotta fight for others.

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 3>Which is why I think the of life the title

0:34:22.320 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 3>life is better is so is so beautiful because it's

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 3>also like a like it's like, uh, it sounds like

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 3>a declaration and it sounds like a decoration, and it

0:34:31.600 --> 0:34:34.759
<v Speaker 3>also sounds like a promise that you're like that, and

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:35.720
<v Speaker 3>and maybe I'm.

0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 2>Going way too deep in it. I feel like, thank you.

0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:43.240
<v Speaker 3>It's you know, it's it's it sounds like a promise

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:46.359
<v Speaker 3>that you're making yourself of like life is better and

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm making it so and so.

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:50.879
<v Speaker 1>And you're telling other people that that's possible. I think

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:52.879
<v Speaker 1>that's the get. And that's the thing I'll even say

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:54.880
<v Speaker 1>like sometimes like to your point about it has to

0:34:54.920 --> 0:34:58.160
<v Speaker 1>be perfect, I'm that so so joho, if you if

0:34:58.160 --> 0:35:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you learn anything about us, Joe's very is good. Let's

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 1>go with the flow. Everything is great, and I'm the girl.

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Numbers mean things like we gotta look at the money

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:09.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm the very business acumen of the Black Fatfem podcast. Wow,

0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.560
<v Speaker 1>she's very much kind of the everything's gonna work the

0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:14.520
<v Speaker 1>way it's supposed to, Everything's gonna be good. And so

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel that more than you ever know. But I

0:35:17.520 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 1>definitely think like you're giving people the space and the

0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 1>place to be able to say like shit is and

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and a kitchen. People look at us and think that

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:29.120
<v Speaker 1>everything is gravy, and I'm like, girl, if you only

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:31.319
<v Speaker 1>knew half of the shit we've had to go through

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 1>to get to this spot, right. But I say all

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 1>of that to say, like leaving here for me, it's

0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:39.800
<v Speaker 1>like I'm gonna be driving home going like wow, like

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 1>like thinking about where I was maybe five or six

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:45.600
<v Speaker 1>years ago to this point where I'm interviewing the person

0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:49.080
<v Speaker 1>who literally helped like inspired me to put my deck together,

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Like that's that's crazy, Like that's crazy. But it goes

0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to show that, yes, life does get better, Like it

0:35:56.000 --> 0:35:57.040
<v Speaker 1>really does get better.

0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:02.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I feel like I'll be honest because like

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:03.960
<v Speaker 4>life does get better.

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I should say life is yeah, you know.

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.480
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm like, because we always heard it gets.

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:09.879
<v Speaker 1>It gets better.

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, and then it's worked sometimes and it gets better.

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 4>Like life is a roller coaster, it is peaks and

0:36:17.560 --> 0:36:19.440
<v Speaker 4>like I literally tell my Thpade sometimes I'm in a

0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:21.640
<v Speaker 4>valley right now or whatever, you know.

0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 5>Not me being a San Fernando right right, nothing me

0:36:28.280 --> 0:36:29.800
<v Speaker 5>down to San Fernando Valley.

0:36:30.600 --> 0:36:33.759
<v Speaker 1>It's like a lot rough over here.

0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:37.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm like visiting that life just has potential, right, life

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:42.239
<v Speaker 4>just has never ending potential. Is beautifully unpredictable.

0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, very very.

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:46.560
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I So I guess the kind of you know, we're

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of winding down on this segment and then we're

0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:54.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna we're gonna move into kind of another segment where

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 1>we talk about healing a little bit more. But I

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:58.879
<v Speaker 1>do want to ask, you know, thinking about like you

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and and you know and Crystal and the show and

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.680
<v Speaker 1>all of that, I think sometimes many of us who

0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:06.160
<v Speaker 1>are now and I'm I'm I'm positing us as public

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:08.000
<v Speaker 1>figures because I got niggas running up to me on

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:10.879
<v Speaker 1>the street like it's it's it's it blows my mind

0:37:10.920 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 1>at moments. But people see us, right, And so when

0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you are, I'm sure the same thing for you. You're just

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:17.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to live your life and hey, gets here, you're

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:21.000
<v Speaker 1>like girl, I'm just trying to get some coffee. They're

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:24.839
<v Speaker 1>they're you know, being being deemed a public figure and

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.839
<v Speaker 1>then oftentimes having people in the industry say you're too

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>emotional or that you're loose cannon because you're talking very

0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 1>openly about your experience. Can I ask how being public

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 1>about your mental health has helped your life get better?

0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 1>M M.

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:47.879
<v Speaker 4>I think that it's just one of those things where, hmm,

0:37:47.960 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how to word is. Again, I have

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:55.399
<v Speaker 4>a bit of a self deprecating sense of humor sometimes,

0:37:56.440 --> 0:37:58.560
<v Speaker 4>and I think that it's a way for me to

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 4>just kind of find fun in my imperfection. Yeah, And

0:38:04.719 --> 0:38:07.040
<v Speaker 4>I just I get, you know, my mental health is

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 4>an imperfection. You know. It's not you know, my decision

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 4>or choice for my mind to work the way that

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:17.160
<v Speaker 4>it is. But it's the way that it is, yea.

0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:19.879
<v Speaker 4>And all that I can do is find the best

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:25.880
<v Speaker 4>ways to manage it. And so I think it's just

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:32.040
<v Speaker 4>helpful because it's been a way for me to almost like,

0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 4>I guess think of it as almost like coming out.

0:38:35.800 --> 0:38:40.240
<v Speaker 4>It's almost a way for you to just be like, yeah,

0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:44.640
<v Speaker 4>and I'm crazy. It's a way for me to just

0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:49.759
<v Speaker 4>wear it and just rather than you know, sweeping it

0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 4>on a rug or putting in a closet and been

0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:54.680
<v Speaker 4>attributing like shame or embarrassment or something.

0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:56.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just like it's a thing.

0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:59.880
<v Speaker 4>And I once I accepted that, you know, it's normal,

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:05.520
<v Speaker 4>and many, many, many people are experiencing it to varying degrees. Yeah,

0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:07.080
<v Speaker 4>it was easier for me to.

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I love that so much. And shout out to our

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:15.600
<v Speaker 1>effects her and our Vallefaxine baddies and all the girls

0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 1>who are on the blue peels and on the white

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:24.280
<v Speaker 1>PILs and on the pills general girl. Yes, yes, yes,

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:29.720
<v Speaker 1>come on now, yes, yes, so shout out to daddy. Yes, yes,

0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:32.760
<v Speaker 1>shut out. I couldn't do sol spiked my blood pressure,

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:34.439
<v Speaker 1>but we are right now.

0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:35.799
<v Speaker 2>It's all right.

0:39:36.200 --> 0:39:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I guess the the final question that I

0:39:39.640 --> 0:39:41.759
<v Speaker 3>want to ask, and you know, I want to ask

0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of maybe advice you give to to folks,

0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:49.200
<v Speaker 3>to our listeners, you know, for anyone who was thinking

0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:53.400
<v Speaker 3>about using comedy as as a vehicle for their healing,

0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:56.520
<v Speaker 3>what might you what might be able to offer in

0:39:56.640 --> 0:40:03.359
<v Speaker 3>terms of how how do they how how could they what?

0:40:03.520 --> 0:40:06.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, maybe maybe by some challenges you face in

0:40:07.280 --> 0:40:09.680
<v Speaker 3>doing so, how can they learn and grow? How can

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:12.960
<v Speaker 3>they find how can they like maybe find like find

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:15.000
<v Speaker 3>their killing And I want to I want to feel

0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:18.000
<v Speaker 3>like I'm not actually some people problems. I know you're

0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:22.840
<v Speaker 3>not therapist, don't like know my issues, but like you know,

0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:23.880
<v Speaker 3>like like what worked.

0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:27.160
<v Speaker 1>For you, like I.

0:40:32.360 --> 0:40:36.400
<v Speaker 4>Mean from like a performance standpoint, really and in general,

0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:41.240
<v Speaker 4>I think comedy using comedy to heal. I I suppose

0:40:41.280 --> 0:40:45.960
<v Speaker 4>I would say look for the truth first, because the

0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:53.719
<v Speaker 4>truth is the funniest thing. And I guess like the

0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:59.000
<v Speaker 4>more like authentic and honest and vulnerable you can be

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:03.880
<v Speaker 4>about life experiences in general, yours everywhere around you, I think,

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:08.600
<v Speaker 4>the easier it is for you to kind of find

0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:11.799
<v Speaker 4>the like the question of I think, like we were

0:41:11.800 --> 0:41:14.279
<v Speaker 4>saying before, like well why is this and where is this?

0:41:14.560 --> 0:41:18.480
<v Speaker 4>And how is it? You know, and then you know

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 4>begin to laugh from there. If it's like uh, if

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:28.480
<v Speaker 4>it's from a performance standpoint, like you wanted to write

0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:32.279
<v Speaker 4>or perform something, then I would say just write, you know,

0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:36.359
<v Speaker 4>start whether like definitely start with a journal if you're

0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:39.800
<v Speaker 4>not already doing it, because that's just great like daily

0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:46.239
<v Speaker 4>writing tool anyway, but it's a good way to just regularly,

0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:49.960
<v Speaker 4>inhibitually get thoughts out, and then you can go back

0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 4>and analyze those things. But I would just start like

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:55.759
<v Speaker 4>writing about the thing that made you, Like if you

0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:57.799
<v Speaker 4>when the next time that you crack up with some shit,

0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:00.880
<v Speaker 4>or if you laugh at yourself or you just have

0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 4>a funny thought, write it down and then answer why

0:42:04.040 --> 0:42:07.000
<v Speaker 4>that was funny or ass of why it made you laugh,

0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.920
<v Speaker 4>and then start, you know, unpacking from there. Or you

0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:15.760
<v Speaker 4>could just literally be like, I know that I'm going

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:21.920
<v Speaker 4>through my third breakup with the same nigga, and I

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 4>know that this story is crazy. You could just start for.

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 1>The right y'all know you're not gonna believe it, but

0:42:27.120 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it is what it is, right right right, right right right.

0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:33.200
<v Speaker 4>That's just kind of just yeah, finding the truth of

0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:34.279
<v Speaker 4>it from there.

0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And to your point, kid, I think one of

0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the things I also I've been doing a lot more

0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:42.080
<v Speaker 1>even just this year, is and what I hear you

0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 1>also kind of undertoning is this idea of giving yourself

0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the authority to laugh. I think everybody, especially now in

0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the world that we live in, like everyone's so serious

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:54.759
<v Speaker 1>about everything. It's like, you know, politics and rights, and

0:42:54.800 --> 0:42:56.839
<v Speaker 1>it's like okay, yes, like, yes, we can, we can

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 1>do those things. But also, shit is funny and I'm

0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:01.919
<v Speaker 1>a laugh That's the one thing about me I'm gonna

0:43:01.960 --> 0:43:04.279
<v Speaker 1>do my husband. At the end of the day. Some nights,

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll just be laying on the couch reels, reeling it up,

0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 1>and something will hit me and it's funny as fuck

0:43:09.640 --> 0:43:11.560
<v Speaker 1>to me and I just laugh. And you know, why

0:43:11.600 --> 0:43:13.680
<v Speaker 1>are you laughing? What are you laughing about? I'm laughing

0:43:13.719 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 1>because it's funny, and I feel like I have the

0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 1>right to laugh. So I think that that's the thing,

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 1>like we can't so many of us are, especially folks

0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:23.319
<v Speaker 1>who are chronically on the internet. We are taking so

0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:26.960
<v Speaker 1>much of what we what we're seeing, and and it's

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:29.280
<v Speaker 1>becoming who we are. And I think, to an extent

0:43:29.360 --> 0:43:31.279
<v Speaker 1>some of us are are losing our joy. And I

0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:35.080
<v Speaker 1>think that you're what you're what you're inherently doing with

0:43:35.120 --> 0:43:37.719
<v Speaker 1>your tour and what your work is, You're you're reclaiming that,

0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:39.839
<v Speaker 1>like you're reclaiming so much of your joy.

0:43:40.040 --> 0:43:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Our morals don't have to be performance. Yeah, sometimes we

0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:46.680
<v Speaker 4>can just have a good time. There is so much

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:51.520
<v Speaker 4>that is not in our control that the one thing

0:43:51.600 --> 0:43:54.520
<v Speaker 4>you can do is be like, well that wig is

0:43:54.560 --> 0:43:59.839
<v Speaker 4>about to fly off Trump set and.

0:43:58.760 --> 0:44:01.919

0:48:17.640 --> 0:48:19.920
<v Speaker 1>have listened to the show for years and know that

0:48:20.120 --> 0:48:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I grew up. So I grew up. My family lives

0:48:22.760 --> 0:48:26.279
<v Speaker 1>in Compton, but my mom moved to San Bernardino, which

0:48:26.360 --> 0:48:29.400
<v Speaker 1>is about forty five to fifty minutes without traffic, but

0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:31.760
<v Speaker 1>when there is traffic, it's about a two hour drive.

0:48:31.840 --> 0:48:33.560
<v Speaker 1>And so for me growing up, I used to always

0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:35.880
<v Speaker 1>ragle my mom when she didn't want to take me

0:48:35.960 --> 0:48:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to La to see my cousins. It was always like, ooh, Mom,

0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:41.000
<v Speaker 1>why can't we go to Compton? Why couldn't we Why

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:43.319

0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:48.279
<v Speaker 1>mom was like, I'm not driving out there. I'm not

0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:52.160

0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:03.520
<v Speaker 5>minutes to get here.

0:51:33.000 --> 0:51:34.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be late, but I gotta go up there.

0:51:36.920 --> 0:51:40.359
<v Speaker 1>It was so mad at myself. But that's also an

0:51:40.360 --> 0:51:41.560
<v Speaker 1>adult thing for me, like.

0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:44.200
<v Speaker 4>I remember used to like literally on the way here,

0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:49.239
<v Speaker 4>like in the lobby, walking out the double doors, looking down,

0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:52.760
<v Speaker 4>I left my phone up stairs. Yep, yep, that literally

0:51:54.000 --> 0:51:55.560
<v Speaker 4>an hour literally today.

0:51:55.760 --> 0:51:59.239
<v Speaker 1>That'll do it every time, every time, That'll do.

0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:03.920
<v Speaker 3>It, scream, but before before you have to give just

0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:06.080
<v Speaker 3>because you didn't have the light and made me think

0:52:06.080 --> 0:52:10.200
<v Speaker 3>about like my dad, because that man his door, like

0:52:10.239 --> 0:52:13.000
<v Speaker 3>my parents been closed and the light and the kitchen

0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:15.080
<v Speaker 3>could be one and in my in my house growing up,

0:52:15.239 --> 0:52:17.520
<v Speaker 3>the kitchen was so far from the bedroom, but he

0:52:17.560 --> 0:52:18.560
<v Speaker 3>would just know that it was on.

0:52:18.640 --> 0:52:21.560
<v Speaker 2>He was like, jermalis I last so long? Right down

0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:22.960
<v Speaker 2>he was in the kitchen light, and I'm like, what

0:52:22.960 --> 0:52:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the fuck you know that?

0:52:24.880 --> 0:52:28.080
<v Speaker 3>He would say he could see the slightest, the slightest

0:52:28.080 --> 0:52:31.560
<v Speaker 3>slimmer from from the on the door, And as an adult,

0:52:31.719 --> 0:52:33.920
<v Speaker 3>relates so hard because when I'm in my bedroom of

0:52:33.960 --> 0:52:36.440
<v Speaker 3>my doors closed and I see that fucking little yellow

0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:39.880
<v Speaker 3>can see, like why just on?

0:52:39.960 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I guess so mad, And I'm like, I've become my father.

<v Speaker 2>Up up in the bay. He's like, have y'all heard BFF.

0:57:56.120 --> 0:57:59.600
<v Speaker 3>So it's gonna to him my no, man, Pam, it's

0:57:59.640 --> 0:58:02.440
<v Speaker 3>gonna be to CNN right now because they because they

0:58:02.600 --> 0:58:04.040
<v Speaker 3>just launched their paywall.

0:58:03.600 --> 0:58:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Which I was like, it's like and I I understand.

0:58:07.200 --> 0:58:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, let me back up CEN for a lot

0:58:10.160 --> 0:58:13.320
<v Speaker 3>of reasons right now, like CNN and the coverage for

0:58:13.320 --> 0:58:15.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot of reasons. But at least I can read

0:58:15.560 --> 0:58:17.800
<v Speaker 3>the coverage for free and now I got paid for it.

0:58:17.800 --> 0:58:21.600
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, it's a bullshit, Like and I understand.

0:58:21.640 --> 0:58:24.520
<v Speaker 3>I understand the reason that journalism and for the field

0:58:24.560 --> 0:58:27.320
<v Speaker 3>that it's constantly shifting financially, So I get why they

0:58:27.320 --> 0:58:29.880
<v Speaker 3>want to do a paywall, but like I've also been

0:58:29.920 --> 0:58:32.760
<v Speaker 3>dependent on not having to pay wall with that, Like it's.

0:58:32.760 --> 0:58:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Just every every article like now is behind a paywall,

0:58:37.680 --> 0:58:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like I can't read one thing like how

0:58:39.520 --> 0:58:41.640
<v Speaker 1>long what happens to stay with this or like and

0:58:41.800 --> 0:58:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean now now now now, like now I can't

0:58:44.440 --> 0:58:47.280
<v Speaker 1>be on y'all because I can't really can't reach rigmatic.

0:58:46.920 --> 0:58:49.439
<v Speaker 3>Like so just knowing him to that and like again, y'all,

0:58:49.480 --> 0:58:52.040
<v Speaker 3>I do understand why. I mean, part of me is

0:58:52.080 --> 0:58:53.960
<v Speaker 3>like we've send money on like all these other things

0:58:53.960 --> 0:58:55.360
<v Speaker 3>that you can now use to me money on, but

0:58:55.440 --> 0:58:57.160
<v Speaker 3>you can be saving it for the journalists. But okay,

0:58:57.480 --> 0:59:00.640
<v Speaker 3>also like you can you can get other biliti the

0:59:00.680 --> 0:59:02.840
<v Speaker 3>government that they're not giving you but okay, like especially

0:59:02.840 --> 0:59:04.240
<v Speaker 3>the other reason that you can do besides making us

0:59:04.280 --> 0:59:06.560
<v Speaker 3>pay for it, casualism, as you said before, seeing in

0:59:06.600 --> 0:59:09.400
<v Speaker 3>yourself should be should be, like should be accessible.

0:59:09.000 --> 0:59:11.400
<v Speaker 2>At all, and here you are making accessible. But who

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:13.120
<v Speaker 2>am I besides just a bit she reads the damn.

0:59:12.920 --> 0:59:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Paper, I guess, right, yeah yeah, So okay, so we're

0:59:19.160 --> 0:59:23.400
<v Speaker 1>now of mine talking about yes ma'am. So I wrote

0:59:23.400 --> 0:59:26.400
<v Speaker 1>this with a lot of intention. I genuinely wanted to

0:59:26.680 --> 0:59:29.360
<v Speaker 1>say this week kid theory that you are my yes ma'am.

0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:34.000
<v Speaker 1>And I wanted to say too, like I'm so happy

0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that I'm in a place now. So in like I

0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:39.120
<v Speaker 1>think it was two thousand and six, two thousand and seven,

0:59:39.160 --> 0:59:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I remember being in my dorm room and I remember

0:59:42.120 --> 0:59:45.000
<v Speaker 1>watching your videos and I remember seeing you, you know,

0:59:45.160 --> 0:59:47.040
<v Speaker 1>just you're doing the stuff you were doing, and I

0:59:47.080 --> 0:59:48.680
<v Speaker 1>was like, ooh, one day I want to I want

0:59:48.680 --> 0:59:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to be a you know, a blogger, you know. And

0:59:50.400 --> 0:59:53.400
<v Speaker 1>it was and again that's such a cringey term now, right,

0:59:53.440 --> 0:59:56.320
<v Speaker 1>but you you I think even in that moment, it

0:59:56.360 --> 0:59:58.600
<v Speaker 1>was like you were helping me understand that I had

0:59:58.640 --> 1:00:02.120
<v Speaker 1>something to say and even though I didn't know how

1:00:02.160 --> 1:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to say it, it was still like you were the

1:00:04.160 --> 1:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>blueprint for me to be able to go out and say,

1:00:06.600 --> 1:00:08.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe one day I could have a you know, have

1:00:08.800 --> 1:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>my own show, or maybe one day I got my

1:00:10.160 --> 1:00:12.480
<v Speaker 1>own YouTube channel. I even started my own YouTube channel

1:00:12.480 --> 1:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>at one point. Like there are all these things and

1:00:14.720 --> 1:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>so like as much as like you know we talked

1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>about earlier in the show, you talking about you know,

1:00:18.880 --> 1:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>this idea of life is better and you know, the

1:00:20.840 --> 1:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>whole life gets better and all of these other pieces, right,

1:00:23.440 --> 1:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it is I'm so grateful for and I

1:00:26.800 --> 1:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>don't even just say kid Fear. I say for the

1:00:28.480 --> 1:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>kid Furies who are like you, you know that that

1:00:32.840 --> 1:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>give us the space to say, well, you know what

1:00:34.680 --> 1:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I learned this on you know the read and kid

1:00:36.600 --> 1:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Fury said this, or you know, kid Fiory said that,

1:00:39.680 --> 1:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and even the whole notion of like fuck people like

1:00:42.440 --> 1:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>fuck fuck what people think about you or fuck like

1:00:44.720 --> 1:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I think so much of us as black queer, specifically

1:00:47.240 --> 1:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>me as a black fat fan who's very very vocal

1:00:49.240 --> 1:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>about being non binary. I'm constantly in my head about

1:00:52.720 --> 1:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>what does the world see me as and what does

1:00:55.320 --> 1:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>see and so watching you and watching Crystal and watching

1:00:58.640 --> 1:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>so many other people has really been able to give

1:01:01.600 --> 1:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>me that ability to just be like fuck them, you know,

1:01:04.360 --> 1:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that for me is so beautiful.

1:01:06.280 --> 1:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>So I you know, I'm I guess for me and

1:01:09.880 --> 1:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>all of this and this, you know, yes, this, yes, ma'am.

1:01:12.640 --> 1:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I think me and Jojo Bo feel very very blessed

1:01:16.640 --> 1:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>to say that we're grateful that we see you not

1:01:19.120 --> 1:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>only helping other black people get on, but you helped

1:01:22.040 --> 1:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>them stay on. And we just want to thank you.

1:01:25.640 --> 1:01:28.360
