1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Anny and Samantha. I welcome you stuff.

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: I never told your production I heard you.

3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: And for this Monday many I'm going to do a

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: quick timestamp, which is October twenty fifth, twenty twenty four.

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's been a stressful year with all the

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: ups and downs of campaigning. So FYI content warning. We

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: are talking about elections and early voting.

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 3: Not a lot.

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: We're not doing to end depth of this, but we

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: are going to talk about it. So if you're like, eh,

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: maybe pass on. But like I said, this is more

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: of like informational about what's happening around the world.

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Nothing too deep, FYI.

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Anyway, And dear God, the amount of texts that I

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: have poured in because of this election has been ridiculously

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Like I have now like updated my phone because it

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: took a while to a new system which lets me

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: put in spam like blocks like that they do it

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: for me and most in every single one of them.

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: Because I went to look to make sure I didn't

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: miss any important messages because I am that anxious Anny

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: that I'm like.

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: Oh no, what if this was actually like something that

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: I need to know?

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: I went and checked through, but nope, every single one

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: of them our campaign or fundraising texts, and I mean hundreds,

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: really yeah, and some of them as of late have

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: been coming through. So I'm telling you, I'm pretty sure

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: my phone or the like the services for a lot

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: of people's phone has been working over time trying to

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: be like, no, this is spam, this is spam, this

32
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: is real, this is spam.

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's a lot.

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: It's very stressful, and just let me say, I think

35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: our system is broken. And I say this in my opinion.

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm not putting this on the show. I'm not putting

37
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: it on our producer, I'm not putting it on Annie.

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: This is just my own opinion. I think the system

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: is broken and there needs to be pretty big changes,

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: and that all the heated debates around around that that

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: our system alone, I think is a legitimate debate and

42
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: that needs to be talked about. However, as we understand

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: that humans are not perfect, don't put anybody on a festival.

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: You can admire people, but understand that they are not perfect.

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: And eventually opinions are going to happen that you are

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: not going to agree with. It's probably going to disappoint you.

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: And the system has really limited us in so many ways.

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: The electoral college sucks.

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: Anyway.

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: With that here on Sminty, we have been really conflicted

51
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: on so much because we see the issues at hand

52
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: and understand that it isn't a single issue when it

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: comes to voting. It's not just one thing, one thing

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: on the platform and that's how we vote.

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: That's not what we think.

56
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: We are looking at the totality of the future though,

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: in understanding that this is a bigger picture. A post

58
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: by Black Feminist fut Future Action Fund or BFFAF as

59
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: they go by, put it in such an amazing way.

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: I think that it's something that I agree with, especially

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: when it comes to the Democratic candidate and current Vice

62
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: president Kamala Harris, which is not a hard name people

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 2: swear to, even people.

64
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: Who are voting for her still saying it wrong.

65
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris just be crazy anyway, Kamala Harris, and they

66
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: write she quote has a strong record and is out

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: front and leading on some of our fundamental issues, abortion access,

68
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: maternal health care, economic advances for middle class people, LGBTQ

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: plus equity, et cetera. But we find a lot of

70
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: her previous policy positions and the policies she's putting toward

71
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: to be conservative, the ongoing genocides, immigration, fracking, etc. But

72
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: they also speak bffaf on the current fight at hand,

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: saying quote, we also refuse to be idle while with

74
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: fascist attempts to occupy the White House. Again, there's too

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: much at stake in fascist control up and down on

76
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: our ballots. This is a consideration of the ground we

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: want to fight on. It's a consideration for fighting fascism.

78
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: So I think that if you want to go look

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: at their posts, go looking on Instagram. I'm sure they

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: have it on their Twitter as well, and they do

81
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: an amazing slide of whole conversation and they talk about

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: their organization as a whole in endorsement and what they

83
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: chose and how they chose to endorse whomever or whether

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: to endorse anybody.

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: And I think it's a.

86
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: Great conversation because they put it again better than I

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: could on my own when I.

88
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: Was like, this is this is a conversation.

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: This is being trying to be transparent and really having

90
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: a hard time voicing it.

91
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: And I think they did a good job.

92
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: And yes, this means that we understand that we have

93
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: to keep fighting and putting pressure on those who will

94
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: be in office. Also as a reminder, the local elections

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: are just as important. Listen to our previous episodes with

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: Melody and State Representative part Canon. These are really important

97
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: campaigns and elections that you need to pay attention to

98
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: look into and actually research and can help shape the

99
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: future of our PoTA and choices. So even some of

100
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: the conversations we're having about the system as a whole,

101
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: this shapes it.

102
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 3: So it's really important.

103
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: Looking at Georgia alone, which has become a swing state,

104
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: you can see the continued fight on trying to get

105
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: citizen votes to not only be counted, but to be

106
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: safely completed. You can see how poll workers had to

107
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: sue due to the amount of violence and fear that

108
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: they have been put through things to not only big politicians,

109
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: but local politicians and in fact taking some of those

110
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: big politicians properties. And I love every bit of that.

111
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: Get his mansions, ladies.

112
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: Get his mansions, his scars.

113
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: Anyway, going back on and again, we have to look

114
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: at this as a part of the bigger picture, just

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: like the Supreme Court, which has caused more changes in

116
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: the last four years due to the changes in its

117
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: new appointments. So these are unfortunately lifetime terms, which shouldn't

118
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: be very disappointed in people who we looked up to

119
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: and allowing some of these things to happen, honestly thinking

120
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: that they were doing something better, thinking that it was

121
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: impossible that Donald Trump would have been elected. But it

122
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: wasn't impossible, and it really does over for the lack

123
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: of better terms. And these are some things that we

124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: need to look at and understand in the bigger picture.

125
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: Again with the caveat that we don't completely agree, and

126
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: there are things that we are concerned about even with

127
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: the better candidate quote unquie like i'mp in that in quotes.

128
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: So just recently, the Georgia Supreme Court actually struck down

129
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: deploy by Republicans to try to possibly deny election results

130
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: or the such. So here's a little bit from the

131
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: AP News about it. Quote One rule would require three

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: poll workers to count ballots, not votes, by hand, once

133
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: polls closed. The other two had to do with the

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 2: process to certify county election results. Democrats and some voting

135
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: rights groups had raised concerns that the rules could be

136
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: used by allies of Trumps to slow or deny certification

137
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: or election results, or to cast doubts on results at

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: the former president. This is the presidential election to Democratic

139
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: Vice President Kamala Harris. So of course this once again

140
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: at least to the groundwalk of trying to invalidate an

141
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: election result. We've seen it happen, we know it's happening,

142
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: much like what they tried to do in the previous election.

143
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: But many, including some Republicans, see this ruling as necessary

144
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: and that the attempt to change these rules are more

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: deceptive than anything else. So a lot of people who

146
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: would consider themselves Republicans really felt like, oh God, what

147
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: are they doing? Understood the gravity of what these rule

148
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: changes could mean. So thank god that has been struck down.

149
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: I'm honestly surprised. I'm not gonna lie. I was really scared.

150
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: So with that early voting has commenced. Annie, you voted.

151
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: On the day of right the day it started.

152
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: How was your experience?

153
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: It was really great.

154
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, because we have seen so many voting restrictions in Georgia.

155
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: I had a plan because I am very fortunate. I

156
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: work from home. My polling place is like two bucks

157
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: from here. You can do in early voting. If anyone's

158
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: listening in Fulton. You can vote any polling place but

159
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: the one not on the day of okay, but before

160
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 4: early voting. You can vote anywhere. But I was just

161
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 4: gonna walk over and see how crowded it was. Because

162
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: if you work from home, if you have a flexible schedule,

163
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: I've read you should not go during the mornings, not

164
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: during lunch, not during time. Some people who don't have

165
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: that flexible schedule should go because the line will get

166
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: so long and people will not will turn away because

167
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 4: they have other they have children, or they have things

168
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: to do.

169
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: So I thought, I was like, well, I'll go check.

170
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: I want to just get it done because it's bothering

171
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: me and I'm nervous and I just wanted to check

172
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: that off my list. And I went and there was

173
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: a line, but it was moving so quickly. It was

174
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: so organized. It was, as we've discussed before, mostly black women.

175
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: It was a library near me, and they would like

176
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: you would go and get your card, and then there

177
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 4: was somebody who would direct you to the nearest open machine,

178
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: and then there was somebody that would direct you to

179
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: the It was just so smooth. I was like in

180
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 4: and out, even though the line looked like it could

181
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 4: be a bit of a wait.

182
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: It was great.

183
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: I got it done really quickly, and I thought, I, oh,

184
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: for sure, you know, probably i'll walk by and I'll

185
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 4: think I'll come back later.

186
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: But no, but I didn't had a great time.

187
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: I had a great time, you know what. My experience

188
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: was not like that. So I went the following week

189
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: last week, if if you were listening when this was published,

190
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: and we just went. I kind of got nervous because

191
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: it was around lunchtime and I was tired. Because you

192
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: had told me that. I was like, oh, that makes

193
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: a lot of sense. I don't want to be in

194
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: the way. My partner and I both work from home,

195
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: so it's not a big deal. But when we arrived,

196
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: there was nobody in line. There was nobody as in fact, well,

197
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: so funny is I walked in and it's a library.

198
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 3: Can we talk about how much I love libraries.

199
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: I love libraries, and this library was so cute in

200
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: this area, and I'm like, oh my god, it's amazing.

201
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: So I walked in.

202
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: We walked in and we couldn't quite figure like we

203
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: saw the arrows, but there was like the way they

204
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: taped it off just in case, there was gonna be

205
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 2: a big line, kind of confused because it was emptied,

206
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: so I don't know which side to go. But the

207
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: woman at the green, she's like, Noah, come me here,

208
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: like directing us and then telling us where to go.

209
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: And it was all black women but one person who

210
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: was a black man, so it was like that's exactly.

211
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: And they were all older and I love that, and

212
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: they were like buying for our attention, like cove. It

213
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: was so shutest thing, and so it felt like I

214
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I get choices, and there they want

215
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: me to come and talk to them instead of being

216
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: like as if we were a nuisance. And the woman

217
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: who did my stuff was so was like talking to

218
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: me and giving she gave.

219
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: Me a pitch. She's like, yeah, all you need to do.

220
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: Is this the kindest person And you could tell she

221
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: was actually happy to be there. So this is week

222
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: two of early voting, and she was still excited obviously

223
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: to be manning the station. When I went and finished

224
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: everything I had already researched at the beginning what I

225
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: wanted to do looking through videos. TikTok has really changed

226
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: in informative information giving information. I will say of course,

227
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: you know there's misinformation, but if you look through it

228
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: and try to find like people who are more aligned

229
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: with your views, and actually look up several videos, not

230
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: just one, several videos and finding your trusted people, it's

231
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 2: great information because these propositions, they're awful because there's their

232
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 2: word is so badly that oftentimes I feel like I'm

233
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: being tricked and we'll just say no across the board

234
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: because they can always bring it back.

235
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: You can't. It's harder to repill.

236
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, but I've had really

237
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: good like moments with getting information, So thank you to

238
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: those who are providing that information, who are putting in

239
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: that work for us.

240
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: Thank you. But after I got done, like.

241
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: I upload everything, the woman who had greeted me was

242
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: also the one that helped me upload everything, and she's like,

243
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: all right, when you see this number go up, that

244
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: means you're vote counted. And she was so excited to

245
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: let me know that. And then as soon as it

246
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: went out, she's like, yeah, you did it. It gave

247
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 2: me a little sticker. That was one of the best experiences,

248
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: and again all my experiences have not been bad.

249
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: There was one day that.

250
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: We went voted I think it was the day of

251
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: and they actually had like food trucks around to encourage

252
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: people to vote and get like free food or whatever.

253
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 3: Not free food, but you know what I mean.

254
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: And it was a long line, but this was so

255
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: in and out there was nobody. I think two people

256
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: came in after us. They were just as excited to

257
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: be told where to go all these things. It was

258
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: lovely of experience and being at the library also gave

259
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: an opportunity to my partner to get his library car,

260
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: which was seamless going into this library.

261
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: They had artwork, they have knitting clubs.

262
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: They have they have knitting clubs, they have cars, Christmas

263
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: card making clubs.

264
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: Like it was. It is the cutest thing. We are

265
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 3: not taking full advantage of it. BT dubs.

266
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: I also was just on the show with Margaret for

267
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: Cool People who did cool stuff, and we talked about

268
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: libraries and one specific indigenous librarian from Puerto Rico who

269
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: came to New York and changed things for the better.

270
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: So if you all need to go listen to that

271
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: episode because it's a fantastic episode and Margaret actually does

272
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: a whole reading from the native librarian who has been

273
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: like had been telling folklore of their area.

274
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 3: So great.

275
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: Anyway, all that to say, I love libraries. So if

276
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: you get a chance, I bet there's a library for

277
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: early voting, that is that are holding the voting. So

278
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 2: you should go to there and then make sure you

279
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: go get your library card.

280
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: Because it's awesome. I didn't know you can get free

281
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: subscriptions to like New York Times. Did you know that?

282
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? You can.

283
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 4: You can rent movies, you can rent fishing pools at

284
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: some places. You can rent statues at some places. Yeah,

285
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 4: they do a lot of stuff.

286
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: They do a lot of stuff.

287
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: Y'all go check it out. Anyway.

288
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: So it was a great experience for those who were

289
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 2: discouraged or anxious, because this can be an anxious process,

290
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: especially with everything you have heard, with all the like

291
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: processes that have happened. Go and do it, and usually

292
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: the official people are cool. Usually so I have yet

293
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: I don't. I could be wrong, but I have yet

294
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: to see actual people who are pole workers to be

295
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: any part of the problem.

296
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't either. I just read today about worries

297
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: about that, but I have not either. And I'll also say,

298
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 4: like I know, probably tired of hearing it, but even

299
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: I did it.

300
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: Check to make sure you're registered to vocus because even

301
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: if you're not, you have time, but you don't want

302
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: to find out the day when you get there. So check.

303
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: Just check. Because of all of the things that we've

304
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: had in Georgia and many other places where they're thinking

305
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: about I think I did it every week, and then

306
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: right before we left, I checked mind with my partners.

307
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: I was freaking out.

308
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: I was too, and so just it's easy. It's also

309
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: so also.

310
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: That's where you need to you can find your district

311
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: because I didn't know. I was like, who what? Because

312
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: the sample ballots had all of them. I was like,

313
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: I know, I'm not voting for all these people.

314
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, those are the massive sample ballot they give.

315
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: If you don't specify as terrifying, you need to find that.

316
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: It's like twenty seven pages to me.

317
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: In the state of Georgia, we have some state Supreme

318
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: Court justices for election and there are a couple of

319
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: people who are in the running. None of them were

320
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: on my in my district, but I was like, dang,

321
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: I wish they were. I could I don't, I'm not.

322
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: I don't wish any were, but I wish I had

323
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: seen the ballot for those who did, so those are important.

324
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: Those are important.

325
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, we did have some good experiences. And honestly,

326
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: if you haven't heard here, in the US, early voting

327
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: has hit some amazing records. According to a CNN article

328
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: written by ZACHARYB. Wolfe, at least eighteen million early voters

329
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: have been cast as of October twenty second, So I'm

330
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: sure like I was a part of the afterwards, So

331
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: there's got to be more, right. And in our state

332
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: of Georgia, at least seventy percent of the votes have

333
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: already been cast due to early voting, so the numbers

334
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: are already kind of there. And not surprisingly, it has

335
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: been more women during the early voting, but not too

336
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: much more. Here's a quote from that scene in an

337
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: article quote. More women, making up fifty five percent of

338
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: the early votes so far have voted in Georgia, compared

339
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: with men who have made up forty five percent. According

340
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: to the ballats, of which Catalyst has data, Biden won

341
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: more than half of Georgia women in twenty twenty, and

342
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: women also accounted for more than half the voters that

343
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: year according to the Scenn exit polls. So you gotta know,

344
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: and the majority of those voters are from the ages

345
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: fifty to sixty five and older, which they've made up

346
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: like seventy percent of those voters so far. Now, I

347
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: kind of was surprised.

348
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: By that number.

349
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it makes sense.

350
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: I wonder if early, like if absentee, that ballads.

351
00:16:52,960 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: Are included in that number. I didn't notice.

352
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: So there's a lot out there, and there's a lot

353
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: we could speak on. And we again apologize for the

354
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: lack of episodes that may have been expected. We, like

355
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: most of you, have definitely hit that election fatigue see

356
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: past episode. We talked about that with an overwhelming amount

357
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: of anxiety that hits when it comes to being transparent

358
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 2: with the listeners. So any and I talked back and

359
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: forth back and forth about doing bigger episodes and having

360
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: conversations about it. And I think for us and for

361
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: me specifically, the debilitating fear and knowing that we do

362
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: hold the responsibility and the information that we provide really

363
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: holds back some of the things that we want to

364
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: talk about. We really wish we could go back to

365
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: episodes of just talking about women in pockets, where the

366
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: minute that a Kristen and Caroline episode started talking more politically,

367
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: they started getting backlash and we know this, and after

368
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: their exit, Bridget and Emily stepped their toes in knowing

369
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: that they would be talking about it. Bridget, I know

370
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: we have talked about it before. As being a woman

371
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: of color, a black ones specifically cannot ignore some of

372
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: those bigger politically charged, racist, racially charged episodes. Myself, as

373
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: a woman of color Asian woman can avoid that either.

374
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: After twenty sixteen, things changed drastically Obama. When President Obama

375
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 2: was here, things changed pretty drastically as well. But when

376
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: it came to women's issues, when it came to marginalized

377
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: people's and their issues, twenty sixteen changed a lot. So

378
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: we know that we have a responsibility and voicing truths

379
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: and facts and also like being transparent in letting you

380
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: know who we are as humans. Like that's podcasting, that's podcasts,

381
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: and podcasting in itself has changed as we know it,

382
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 2: the way that it is split and the interest and

383
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 2: how it's become a place of friendships honestly and like

384
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: relationships that you want to listen to. So with all

385
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: of that, we do apologize if you had expected more,

386
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: but understand that we just like you are going on

387
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: this roller coaster ride and trying to really unlearn and

388
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: learn things as we go along with with the way

389
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 2: the times have changed.

390
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of funny.

391
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: It's kind of funny though, because you were asking me,

392
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: like about politics on podcasts and like this Trump go

393
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: on podcast and he said, has he done Joe Rogan?

394
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: Guess what.

395
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: Did? He said he would invite Kamala too, didn't he?

396
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: I have no idea if you did. It was just

397
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: funny to me because we had just talked about yeah, yeah,

398
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: and like, yeah, Kamala Harris being on Call Your Daddy

399
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 2: and that brought a lot of backlash to her who

400
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: she actually invited Trump too, and he just refused.

401
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 3: She made that a point.

402
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 2: But she also talks about the fact that, yeah, she

403
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: thinks that women's issues are a big important part of

404
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: her podcast, so she can't understand why people are shocked.

405
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a strange thing that's happening right now.

406
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: There's a lot happening.

407
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 4: Honestly, everything feels like a fever dream some days.

408
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: It does, absolutelutely it does.

409
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: But all that to say, we just want to lay

410
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: that out there because I think you might not have cared,

411
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: You might rather us not spoke about it, But either way,

412
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: it would be disingenuous for us not to kind of

413
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: like be transparent and let you know where we are

414
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: at with that, especially with the elections being so close,

415
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: and yeah, there are so much more we do want

416
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: to tap into. That overlap with other things so politically,

417
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: like we talked about it in religious Trauma, which yeah,

418
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: you know, we did a whole unexpected series on Remember

419
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 2: and Massogy noir that can't be ignored with elections and

420
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: this election specifically, also an interesting amount of women who've

421
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: been talking about lying to their husbands or boyfriends about

422
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: who they were voting for, which I think is something

423
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 2: that we need to explore because there's definitely been like,

424
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: uh so, one of the biggest phrases in different like

425
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: relationship TikTok is people will say, uh, I hope that

426
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: a love like this will never find me, or I

427
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: hope a love like this will find me, or like, God,

428
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: I've been waiting for this, like just kind of like

429
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: these specific phrases, but like I have seen more and

430
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: more women being like I can't tell my husband who

431
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm voting for because he will get mad at me

432
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: and whatnot. But I lie and told them I vote

433
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: for Trump, Like that's the insinuation. And then many like

434
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 2: women stitching those videos and being like, uh, girl, you

435
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: need to rethink your relationship, which kind of comes back

436
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: to that whole conversation once again about like is politics

437
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: should politics be a factor in your relationship? And once

438
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: like things because of Trump and because of the extremism

439
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: on both sides have come about. It has become a

440
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: really heated debating issue, which it wasn't once upon a time,

441
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 2: right supposedly, But I do I find that interesting.

442
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 4: Well, did you see the the viral video from a

443
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 4: woman from Georgia in her nineties voted for the first time, Yes,

444
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 4: because her husband had just died and he was like,

445
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 4: I don't think you should vote.

446
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: I'm not allowing you to vote, and then she got to.

447
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 2: But they are possibly getting into trouble. Did you see that? No,

448
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: because his daughter, her daughter had helped her, and they're

449
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 2: calling that fraud.

450
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 4: Oh, she seems so excited to do it.

451
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: What I thought.

452
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 4: I didn't.

453
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: They're causing this like you made her vote for Harris

454
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 3: or I don't know. I don't know if she did

455
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 3: or not.

456
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: There's this uproar, and I was like, what is happening?

457
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: This is supposed to be fun and joyful.

458
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: Nothing, nothing anymore anyway.

459
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was Harris, I think, but

460
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 3: they were.

461
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: There was cries of like this fraud, an assumption because

462
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: she a woman, Yeah, she was a vote woman being

463
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 2: told she can vote for the first time in an

464
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: issue without her without you know, with her husband not

465
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: making like not denying that right from her.

466
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have to say I've seen it.

467
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 4: I have seen this before with friends of mine or

468
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 4: their boyfriend is very controlling about like you're voting for

469
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 4: this person, and it always made me so uncomfortable.

470
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that conversation with like, mmm, you need to rethink.

471
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: Oh I don't think this is a red flag anyway.
