1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: And I listen to the black guy who tips because

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Rod and Karen are so hot.

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: What I've arrived at after years of trial and error

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: is the idea of micro meditation. These are brief and

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: intense phases of departure from the self. They bring you

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: out of the moment, whether it's a heated argument or

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 2: professional crisis, or even just the mourning doldrums before your

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: mind is moving into a different kind of moment, just

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: for a moment, and then they return you to the

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: exact same place you were before. Micro Meditations should last

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: a minute at most, and sometimes they aren't even that long.

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: Sometimes they are thirty seconds, sometimes fifteen. They're longer than

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: a blink, but shorter than sleep. Maybe they're like a

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: slow wink. They aren't long enough to relax you entirely.

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: They don't require any special apparatus or condition In some ways,

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: if they're done correctly, they won't seem like meditation at all,

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: but rather a stepping back and are surveying. They work,

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: at least for me, because they engage both parts of

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: my brain, the part that's right in a moment, pushing

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: against the task, and the part that considers, that's considering

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: the moment afar, they are a ground survey and an

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: aerial view when they split. When this split perspective is

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: perfected over time, it gives you the tools you need

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: to bring your own best ideas to the surface, to

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: assess them, to discard the ones that aren't working, to

26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: commit to the ones that might work. This might seem

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: a little abstract, but no example springs to mind. Hold on,

28
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: I just did a micro meditation and an example sprung

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: to mind.

30
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: See it works anyway. It happened at our first Roots

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: picnic in New York in twenty sixteen.

32
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: We had a great lineup in Bryant Park that included

33
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: John Mayor, DiAngelo Rozel, and lots of other artists.

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: John Mayer was on stage with us and he was

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: heating up the place.

36
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: He was on his very last solo and in those

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: last minutes, Keith McFee, the Roots production manager, came running

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: towards me. Keith, like many people I work with, thrives

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: on panic, and not just panic panic. In fact, that's

40
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: one of the conditions that certain positions in our operations,

41
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: the panic guy. I'm not natively like that. I leave

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: stones on turn. I need a staff that can function

43
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: like clockwork around me. That's another issue that I'll be

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: talking about throughout this book. In the back of my

45
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: mind and sometimes in the front of it, there's an

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: idea that certain times ain't over tender behavior, while incredibly

47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: useful in the real world, are the enemy of creativity.

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: They prevent the mind from reaching his best ideas in

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: the best way. While I subscribe to that idea, I

50
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: also know that it's probably time for my subscription to end.

51
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: But now it's not the time for that.

52
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: I have a story to get through and there's most

53
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: of a book remaining. Anyway, I will read the rest

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: of the exert because it's long. But hey, welcome to

Speaker 2: that that that are relevant and whatnot. The official weapon

78
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: of the show is an unofficial sport.

79
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: A bullet ball extreme.

80
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: Today's excerpt is from Creative Quests by Quest Love, and

81
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: he talks.

82
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: About this tech technique.

83
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: He uses to call it micro meditation where you know,

84
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: because I think when people think of meditation, you think

85
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: of like this long form like own somewhere quiet, peaceful,

86
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: closing your eyes, you know, maybe even using like an

87
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: audio like guide or somebody to talk you through meditation,

88
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be like at least minutes, you know.

89
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: And this idea of micro meditation, and especially doing it

90
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: in times of panic, in times where the opposite feeling

91
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: is taken over. I love this idea.

92
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: You know.

93
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: I do something similar, but it's not. I wouldn't.

94
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't label it meditation because I never I don't

95
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: know what meditation is like that. I haven't really tried it,

96
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: but I was. I do this thing where I slow

97
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: my brain down. I count in times of panic, so

98
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: like if I get injured in a at a basketball

99
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: court or something and I have to like walk to

100
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: my car and I know, you know, SIT's gonna hurt

101
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 2: or something like, I'll count, Like I'll count little things

102
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna count the steps it takes to get

103
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: to the door. You know, I'm gonna count, you know

104
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: how you know? And I and I mean I will

105
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: sit like for a second, close my eyes and kind

106
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: of visualized things, you know, if I'm going to the doctor.

107
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes I get nervous about that, get anxiety about it.

108
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: I'll count in my mind, like I'll count it down

109
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: or I'll visualize it and stuff and I think in

110
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: creative situations like we're doing the show, We've been in

111
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: situations where like right now, I'm uploading old episodes of

112
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: the show, and it's taken me back through memory lane

113
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: just seeing the titles, who the guests were, and remembering

114
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: when we first started this process, how nervous I was

115
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: about the show and you know, whether it would be

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: sound quality, the guests saying some wild shit, you know,

117
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 2: because we've always done this live.

118
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: We've never edited a show. We've like so the wacky things.

119
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: That happened where someone says some opinion or something. You're

120
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: just like, am I gonna argue about this? Am I

121
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: gonna let it pass? Am I gonna make a joke?

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: Am I gonna agree? Am I gonna let them.

123
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: Flesh it out? You know, things like this.

124
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: And I've learned over time to kind of in my

125
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 2: brain while we're live on the air, take a second

126
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: and be like, wait, let me think about this in

127
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: my you know, in my head, and it might only

128
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: be fifteen seconds while I'm like, this is how because

129
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the long view of the podcast and

130
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: all the people who are gonna hear it, but the

131
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: short view and the immediacy of me and Karen and

132
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: whoever is on the microphone with us talking. So you know,

133
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: stuff like that. I think this comes into handy for

134
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: and it's not something that is unattainable. It's something that

135
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: almost all of us have fifteen thirty seconds a minute

136
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: to be able to stop and focus and think about

137
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: a problem or think about something that's immediately in the

138
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: way and how we want to the spring ideas to

139
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: navigate it.

140
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think.

141
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 4: For for me, I talk to myself, like in my

142
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: own mind, you know, to kind of calm and slow

143
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 4: it down and be like.

144
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: Okay, Karen, let us get it together, Like what is

145
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: it like? So you ain't got to analyze the.

146
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 4: Shit that's happening around you, you know, because sometimes things

147
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: that come at you so fast that sometimes you don't

148
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: really think about it, analyze it to see how to

149
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: property respond to it. And what I've realized a lot

150
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 4: of times when you don't analyze things and proper and

151
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: allow your mind to filter through those things, even if

152
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: it's nothing for a split second, you still have to

153
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: analyze what you're gonna do next, or what the decision is.

154
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: I realized that that kind of helps like you said,

155
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: slow down.

156
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: I've started doing the a thing where I sit and

157
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: I count, Like I literally sit and count to slow

158
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: my brain down.

159
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: Cause and because this is.

160
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: Something that it just happened to me last year. I

161
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 4: never experienced it before.

162
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: When I because I'm a true extrovert.

163
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 4: And so for me, uh people and new places and

164
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: new things that is that it's a stimili to me,

165
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: and it causes excite meant around me, and it helps

166
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: keep my.

167
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: Energy level up.

168
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: And then when I'm at home, my energy level goes

169
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 4: down because all the things that was causing all this

170
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: stimuli is gone, and then I'm dreamed.

171
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: So when I transitioned from my.

172
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: Old job to my new job, I didn't realize it

173
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 4: was too much stemli for me at once. I didn't

174
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: realize that at the time, and Roger me and you know,

175
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: Roger talked about it and he kept saying, you know thing,

176
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: because what was happening was that I had like this

177
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: ball of energy. Everything was new. I had a new

178
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 4: route to work, I had bought new clothes, I was

179
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: around new employees, new working environment, new place where the

180
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: bathroom is, new place where the workroom is, you know,

181
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: new place to order food.

182
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: Like everything around.

183
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: Me was new, new workout routine, new new new new

184
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: new new new new new new new new, and I

185
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: didn't realize that all this newness was almost like a

186
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 4: super charged stimuli to me. And and Roger will tell

187
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: you my mind I was forgetting shit.

188
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: I read. I ran into the rail with my car

189
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: and did the gate fit the.

190
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: Gate for our apartment complex and drove into it.

191
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: Yes, because my mind was literally all over.

192
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: The place where I literally couldn't It was like my

193
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: mind was on like a supercharge and it was going

194
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: like a zillion minutes a second, and no matter what

195
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 4: I did, I could not get it to slow down.

196
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 4: I couldn't understand it, and I didn't comprehend it. And

197
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 4: for me, that that that the micro thing for me

198
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: was when I thought about it, I was like, okay, ken,

199
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 4: what's happening was wrong?

200
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: And I really thought about it, and I.

201
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: Was like something was like you need to start running again,

202
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: because I actually had stopped running. And when I started

203
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: running again, it was like all this energy that had.

204
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: Me on ten just started to dissipate.

205
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 4: But it took that split second of me thinking, Okay,

206
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: can what is costing this? We're like what is the stimuli?

207
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 4: But you have to go through that process. And if

208
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: you don't allow yourself to go through that process, even

209
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: if it's nothing but a split second of analyzing it,

210
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 4: you end up making bad choices, bad decisions.

211
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: Then when you go through.

212
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 4: Back and think, you but, oh, I shouldn't have did this,

213
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have said that. Oh shit, I heard that

214
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: feeling because I was stressed and I didn't think about it,

215
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: like you start going through the I know, for me,

216
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: going through the regret phase of what you did, versus

217
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 4: if you just take a few seconds to realize if

218
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: I respond now, the response isn't going to be a

219
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: good one, and just know yourself enough to know that.

220
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Also, we're in a place where we

221
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: react to everything. We're always reacting, not really thinking, not

222
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: really analyzing so much of what we've been filtered to do,

223
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: especially since the advent and social media's instant reaction. So

224
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: you know, Jada Pinkett does red table talk. The rest

225
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: of the day is all of.

226
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Us reacting to it in the immediacy of it.

227
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: Right, I just saw a video I saw three minutes

228
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: and I gotta say something like, we're geared to do that,

229
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: and I think that happens, it carries over to offline,

230
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: like everything is what is my immediate reaction? What was

231
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: my feeling right now? I have to say, I have

232
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 2: to say it. And sometimes it's okay to sit with something.

233
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes okay to sit stop and reflect.

234
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: And I remember, you.

235
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: Know, especially I had noticed stuff already, like I know,

236
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: you're just that week that you had started that job,

237
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: the new job. You know, I just noticed a few things,

238
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: you know, around the house, like little stuff like you know,

239
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: like you said, forgetting little things and being really nervous

240
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: about all the stuff. And I think, you know, you know,

241
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a patient person. So my thing was

242
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: like it'll probably work itself out. It's just a bunch

243
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: of new stimuli, and you know, she'll Karen will calm

244
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: down eventually.

245
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: But then you drove into the fence.

246
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: And then if I got my shoes, yeah, and so

247
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: when you drove into the fence, that was when I

248
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: think we were you know, like I think that was

249
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: when I.

250
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: Was like, okay, we have to sit down and talk.

251
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: It's all yeah.

252
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: And you know, I wasn't fuscinate you or nothing. I

253
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: just was like, you know, breathe, you know, yeah, like

254
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: we because I was, Yeah, I'm like, slow down, breathe,

255
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: take a minute, so absorb it all in. You're going

256
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: through a lot. Let me know what I can do

257
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: to help, let me know what we need to do,

258
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: Like should we take a week off of the show?

259
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: Should we? Because I think we did take some time

260
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: off the show. He started a new job, But it

261
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: was like should we you know, like what all do

262
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: we need to do to make it so that this

263
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: isn't so overwhelming? And you know, what all do you

264
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: need to you know, adjust to and get you know,

265
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: And I mean it takes time with this stuff, and

266
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: like I said, for me, it's more like creative stuff

267
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: on the fly, you know. It's Yeah, a perfect example.

268
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: We got to the library when we did our live

269
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: Library podcast, and nobody really knows it because you know,

270
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: we're pretty professional and I'm pretty good at what we

271
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: do at this point. But we got there and I

272
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: think I forgot a mike stay at home or something.

273
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: So we had to record that whole show with one

274
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: mic for Alisha, who was our guest on the podcast,

275
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: and me and you had to split a mic, which

276
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: we haven't done since we started the show. But you know,

277
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: I remember like hooking everything up because we got there early,

278
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: and I'm like, people are coming in the room early.

279
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: Apparently someone's at the door, and Karen's pond is not

280
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: only anyway people got to the just fifteen seconds of

281
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: meditation on a second.

282
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: Okay, she'd be good now.

283
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: All right, but now they people got there early, and

284
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sitting there panicking, like what the fuck

285
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: are we gonna do?

286
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: How are we gonna record?

287
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: This? Is Alisha gonna not have a microphone? Are we

288
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: gonna have to give her a microphone? And then I'll

289
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: be on Mike and then Karen will take over the

290
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: mic and then I'll be on Mike, like and we

291
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: figured it out through positioning it and all this stuff.

292
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, we had to worry about the.

293
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: Internet at the library read this like could we go live?

294
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: How what was the password to the wild Fi? And

295
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: there's all this stuff that's happening, all this stuff that's happening,

296
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: and it's the time delay in the time crunch, and

297
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: you know, I just I really just naturally had to

298
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: stop and be like, okay, this is okay. The worst

299
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: thing that can happen is we're not able to go live,

300
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: but less at least exhaust those possibilities and try to

301
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: do it. And we were able to go live, Okay,

302
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: we don't have We're not gonna have access to three mics.

303
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: We only got two. Okay, we're gonna figure this out.

304
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: I can angle this mic, we can hold it a

305
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: certain way, and we can still have a good audio

306
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: as well as a good live show for the people

307
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: in the room, you know, people asking us questions. People

308
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: you know, like all this stuff is happening and it's

309
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: and it's live and there's no do overs.

310
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: Everyone can see it.

311
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, there's these moments while you have to stop

312
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: and be like, let me freeze everything and then.

313
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: Look at this creatively. How do we solve this problem?

314
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: You know, because we had wanted like a mic for

315
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: the audience to ask questions, but you know, it turns out,

316
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: you know, okay, we'll just have them ask questions. I'll

317
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: repeat the question and then we'll answer the question. And

318
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: that's how we'll do it. So, you know, just little

319
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: stuff like that, I think, you know, really really helps

320
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: and I think it can help people in just any

321
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: any field.

322
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, in any situation and.

323
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: To kind of go back to some of the things

324
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 4: we talked about right now, the way social media and

325
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: the way life and everything is designed now, it's designed

326
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: to trick you into making instant decisions. And there are

327
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: people like their whole job is once they get you

328
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 4: to make a decision that isn't well thought out and

329
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: isn't well analyzed, they can manipulate you into getting you

330
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 4: to do anything that they want you to do. This

331
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: is why people are so mad and angry and upset

332
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 4: or sad and depressed all the time, or have anxiety

333
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: because you hadn't really analyzed and thought about why do

334
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 4: I feel this way and what is making me do

335
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 4: this with Because like you said, sometimes when you sit

336
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 4: and you analyze things and you slow things down, you

337
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: can actually see things like just literally sit and close

338
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: your eyes and breathe, breath in, breath out, and just

339
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: let your mind go into nothingness. And what I've realized

340
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: for a lot of people that nothingness is a scary

341
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: ass place. That's why people don't like to do things

342
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: that cause them to stop. That's why people don't like

343
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: to do things that causes them to reflect. Like you

344
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 4: have a lot of people that you meet, they always busy,

345
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: They want to constantly do something.

346
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: They don't ever want to be alone.

347
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: They don't ever want to meditate, They don't ever want

348
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 4: to do anything that will cause them to sit and

349
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: get in their own mind, because their mind.

350
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: Is just full of chaos. So how can you calm

351
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: something down that's.

352
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 4: Already full of chaos and ask it to focus on

353
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: a certain thing when there's nothing in it coming?

354
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: And if you're not good company for yourself, you're gonna

355
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: be constantly looking for outside things to be focused on. Correct,

356
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: you know it's because you're not come with yourself. Is

357
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: because you're not you know, you don't want to sit

358
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: in that nothingness, like you said, because the nothingness is

359
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: really you. Yes, so you don't want to sit with you.

360
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: So the next thing, you know, you're not happy. Your

361
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: marriage is falling apart. Your marriage is falling apart. Now

362
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: you know, you start looking for other people to try

363
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: to like, heal, You look for other people to talk to,

364
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: and now you got some twenty two year old man

365
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 2: that you over here trying to heal. But you know

366
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: it's it comes acquires our sexual relationship, and now you

367
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: haven't an affair, but not really because you separated and

368
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: you doing your own thing and your man doing your

369
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: own thing, you know, but you like a grown woman

370
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: and this person is, you know, kind of a little

371
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: too immature and going through paying themselves and you haven't

372
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: worked on healing yourself. And then you start healing yourself,

373
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: and then your husband want to come back.

374
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: And be like, look, oh maybe we should work this out.

375
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: We're not gonna make we're not gonna get a divorce,

376
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 2: you know, And so then you gotta tell this other

377
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: person you done brought into this thing.

378
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: Hey, I was hurt.

379
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm I'm you know, I'm gonna go back to my husband.

380
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: I've been working on healing myself, and you know, I

381
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: can't really heal you because I'm not healed and I

382
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: and I was just always looking for a reason to

383
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: escape myself, which is why I even started this toward affair.

384
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: And now that person's hurt, they don't want to talk

385
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: to you no more, you know, which is their right,

386
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: because they've been hurt by you, you know, and they

387
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: feel that it's that they thought they had something special

388
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: with you, and you broke them off, you broke they back,

389
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: and so they ain't never had they back broke by

390
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: no grown ass women at this point, so they're not

391
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: gonna be over this.

392
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: And years later they tell the world this story, and.

393
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: Now you got to go out on your platform and

394
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: try to fucking tell people what really happened. But people

395
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: don't really care what really happened because we already have

396
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: an idea of who you are, you know what I'm saying,

397
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: So we don't really give a fuck what you said.

398
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: We already came up with our predispsulg opinions on what

399
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: it's gonna be, you know.

400
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: So now you got to deal with all this projection.

401
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 2: That's coming your way, and the only way to make

402
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 2: it through is to be secure in yourself. You know.

403
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: You gotta bring your husband out, and now he gotta

404
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: tell the world, hey, I've been known this, but it's

405
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: a new type of pain because he gotta tell the

406
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 2: world that he known this, so he like he The

407
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: tears in his face could be from empathy for you,

408
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: It could be from empathy for the person that you

409
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: had this relationship with. It could just be embarrassment of Hey,

410
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: the world is in our business and I'm a more

411
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: of a private person than this It could be so

412
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: many things that could be happening.

413
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: But the point is, if you.

414
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: Would have taken thirty seconds to meditate, maybe you could

415
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: have avoided all this shit because you would have been like,

416
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: oh wait, this is the bigger picture of how how

417
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: this is going to look, and this is the micro

418
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: picture of how I'm acting within this moment. And maybe

419
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: you could have saved everybody some heartache. But that's just

420
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: my opinion. I don't know nothing, butterfly in the guy

421
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: I can.

422

661
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:18,840

00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:32,960

673
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,240

00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: lot of people are human wrongs activists.

675
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,800

678
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,320

00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: Be for human wrongs, because sugar grits is a wrong

680
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:06,120

00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: Time, and people loved her. Okay, I feel like we

684
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: was all over the place.

685
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: We talked a long time about a lot of different topics,

686
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: you know.

687
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: Just everywhere.

688
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: But she was such a good person to have on

689
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: and you know, her daughter was kind of like guest featured.

690
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: You know, she was coming all all in the videos,

691
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But it all felt like

692
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: it felt like talking to an old friend, even though

693
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: that was our first time really getting to talk to her.

694
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: Anne says good episode. Enjoyed every minute of it. I

695
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 2: believe this is Bridgejazz Brie Jazzy seventy eight, who says,

696
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: I love this episode with Frankie French. There were so

697
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: many golden moments I enjoyed hearing about her experience with

698
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: her career trajectory, how she is.

699
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: Managing as things go.

700
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: Hey, why are use her a platform to speak out

701
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: against racism in the comedy industry. I also really appreciated

702
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: hearing her say that sometimes people actually don't survive traumatic experiences.

703
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: That made me re evaluate what survival actually is. Amazing

704
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: that in the midst of all the laughing throughout this podcast,

705
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: I came away with a pretty deep mental and spiritual examination. Well,

706
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: you know, that's just how we work on Magic Baby, Okay,

707
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: that's just what we do.

708
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 3: Okay.

709
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: I know it feels like it's just all happenstance, an accident,

710
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: but you know, we work in a little we massage

711
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: and a little bit of that deep shit every once

712
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: in a while, you know. And Frankie was such a

713
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: great person to talk to about it because she was

714
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: like so open about stuff. And you just never know

715
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: when you have a guest, whether they're new or not,

716
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: what people are willing to talk about, what they're not,

717
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: what you know, how much they've been able to self

718
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 2: reflect on stuff, Because sometimes you can sense something in

719
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: somebody and and they haven't even analyzed it. So they

720
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: can't talk about certain things. But she was just so

721
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 2: such an open book. And uh and I knew she

722
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: would be great because I listened to her on Three

723
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,080

725
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: I mean, and then we didn't even get into all

00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 2: the other stuff, like you know, there's just so she's

727
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: just such an interesting person. She has all these stories

00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: about all these people she's met in the industry, and

Speaker 2: we're located and how we record our show. But another

748
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: I guess benefit of the coronavirus thing is that a

749
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: lot of people who really wouldn't be using this kind

750
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 2: of technology or they would be kind of afraid or

751
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 2: not want to go through the hassle of being on

757
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 4: lot y'all gonna see a lot more people utilizing these

758
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,839

764
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 2: I didn't know, I didn't even realize I lost track

765
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: of time when Frankine looked up and was like, oh shit,

766
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,920

Speaker 2: even longer than we just didn't have the time to day.

769

781
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: like what happens eventually if we get to a point

782
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: where we can't be so interactive with the audience, or

783
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: we get to a point where it's not worth the

784
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 2: mental strain of being online and social media and stuff.

785
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: You know, but we ain't got to that point yet,

786
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 2: So I'm enjoyed while I.

787
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 4: Can, and we'll adapt into just accordingly. And for people

788
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: that's been around for a while, y'all can pull out

789
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 4: your old tales and be like, hey, I remember when

790
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 4: I used to with you know, could a shit have

791
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: a conversation with Rod and Karen right, So it was just, you.

792
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: Know, it was just such an interesting and you know thing.

793
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: And then, like I said, to be able to get

794
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: these guests and all this stuff, it's just been so cool,

795
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: even he says, I don't think kind oh and then

796
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: also I am so happy and proud of our chat room,

797
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: of our community because I'm like, I know, the homies Teava,

798
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: Queen and Jay always say they like some community ass

799
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 2: view words you know, that's whatever. Like so they say that,

800
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: and I'm always thinking to myself, I'm not a community

801
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 2: ass person at all. Like I don't like building community,

802
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 2: I don't like being in the community. I don't like groups.

803
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: I don't like any of this shit like like it's

804
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: just as an actual like as an impath, the toll

805
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: is too much. It's too many people, too many agendas.

806
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: People hurt people, and then they want you know, you to.

807
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 2: If you're part of a community and you're like the

808
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: head of it, they really think like you're the principal,

809
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 2: and you can solve interpersonal conflicts between adults.

810
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: Which correct the amount of ego.

811
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: It takes to think that your ass can fix like this,

812
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 2: she hit me, Like you can fix that. Yeah, okay,

813
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 2: my nigga. But also just the toll it takes on you, right,

814
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: constant interaction, constant expectations, constant measuring of your opinions, all

815
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: this shit. And so I kind of run from community.

816
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 2: I prefer one I don't want the responsibility of it,

817
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 2: but then two, I don't really want the It's a

818
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: full time job managing the shit and it's very stressful

819
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: if you actually give a fuck, you know. I think

820
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: a lot of people's perception of people that lead communities

821
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: that they don't give a fuck, They just want to

822
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: be at.

823
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: The top of everything.

824
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: But like, if you run it from a place of

825
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: I do give a fuck and I do want everyone

826
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: to be happy, you will drive yourself insane, especially with

827
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: a community that can be as big as I has

828
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: gotten right anyway, So it's cool though, to see that

829
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: community is created organically no matter what like if you

830
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: do something and you're and for the most part it's

831
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 2: a reflection of caring or not. So for the most part,

832
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 2: it's such a great community. You don't see people harassing folks,

833
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 2: and you don't see people ganging up and stuff that much.

834
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 3: Because we don't do things that kind of cater those

835
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 3: people to come our way. They'll find on.

836
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 2: The avenues, right, and the kind of people that engage

837
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 2: in that are gonna do that, whether it's our community

838
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 2: or some other community. Like there's some people that there

839
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: their community is we go places and harass people. We

840
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 2: sign up in Facebook groups and look for people to

841
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 2: fight and shit, right, But that don't really make me

842
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: feel special, And I don't you know, a lot of

843
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 2: those people they don't even fuck with or listen to

844
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 2: the show or like us or whatever. There's like this

845
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 2: is just another avenue for them to sink attention into.

846
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: They're not gonna support us there, you know, whatever.

847
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 2: But there's so many other people that show up in

848
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: the chat and they're just so like they become part

849
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: of like the show to me. You know, they're like

850
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, I look forward to seeing their opinions.

851
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: I know they're gonna write in. I know they're gonna

852
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 2: have certain jokes. I know they're gonna at least hear

853
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: us out. And you know, I think for the most part,

854
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 2: we foster the community that really believes in nuance, that

855
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 2: really believes in hearing people out, that believes in trying

856
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: not to come from a bad place. I'm not saying

857
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: everyone in the community. I'm not saying everyone gets it

858
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 2: every time. I don't get it every time. Sometimes it's motherfuckers,

859
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, this nigga is crazy, you know whatever. But yeah,

860
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 2: it's just and this has happened over ten years, you know,

861
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: going back and look at some of those early shows,

862
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: you know, I'm looking at I remember Real and and

863
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 2: that whole like Saga, minda, Gabrielle, you know, Chill.

864
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:33,479
Speaker 1: What happened to Chill?

865
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: You know, stuff like that, and you just looking like

866
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: community grows and changes over time. People come in, fall off,

867
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 2: people keep up with the pace.

868
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: People don't.

869
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: People feel like check in once in a while and

870
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 2: don't like it's just so it's just organic and so cool.

871
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: But mostly it's just been so rewarding and affirming to

872
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: see the kind of community we built. Even he says

873
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: I don't think Karen will actually run because Kanye. I'm sorry,

874
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 2: I don't think Kanye will actually run because he's nothing

875
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: but the agent of chaos at this point, and this

876
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: will probably just be a storyline for the next season,

877
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 2: keeping up with the Kardashians.

878
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't listen. I don't know.

879
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't he can't win. I mean, he

880
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 2: can't even get on the ballot in a lot of

881
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 2: these stays. He's not in a party, I don't think.

882
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 2: And if you read that Forbes interview, man, I I mean,

883
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: I've been saying it for a while. I just don't

884
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 2: think people want to hear it, man. And I'm not

885
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: going to back down on this because I really do

886
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 2: believe I'm right, and we might look back on this

887
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 2: later and that people will be like, I think ry

888
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 2: had had it spot on, or they'll look back on

889
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: this later and they go, fuck Rye, he's crazy or whatever.

890
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 2: But I think Kanye is having manic episodes. He's not

891
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: on his edge, and people, because he's so famous and talented,

892
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 2: people keep putting a mic in his face and taking

893
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 2: him seriously, and we are we are wrong to do that,

894
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 2: like they should not be providing him these platforms, you know,

895
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 2: and he's too rich and famous and powerful for anyone

896
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 2: to to to intercede a.

897
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 3: Sense right and and be like, no, this is not healthy.

898
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: Like people are gonna say it's about the Kardashians, but

899
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: to be truthful, it could be anyone.

900
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: No one can make him do what he doesn't want

901
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: to do.

902
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 3: Not when you got the level of money he has,

903
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 3: who's gonna tell him?

904
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 2: And your mental health is your responsibility. I do get that,

905
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 2: but you have to understand that like mental your mental

906
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: health when you have something like bipolar disorder, is not

907
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: It's not such a simple line of black and white

908
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 2: of you know, like oh, I know, I'm I know,

909
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm man it.

910
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

911
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: Your mind fools yourself in the being like this isn't mania.

912
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 2: This is just how it's supposed to be. And what

913
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 2: I'm really fearful of is that the higher the mania is,

914
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: and the more that we're enabling it and pushing it

915
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 2: out to the world and and and validating it by

916
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: by treating it so seriously like he's running for president,

917
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: y'all better not vote for him. We let the whole

918
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: world needs to talk about him and talk to him

919
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: and talk at him and give him a.

920
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: Place to talk to us.

921
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: I feel like the higher that high gets, at least

922
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 2: from everything I've read and experience and talk to people about,

923
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 2: the lower the low is. And I worried that one

924
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: of these because Kanye doesn't show us his lows. Like Kanye,

925
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 2: we see him when he's manic and he's out here

926
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: and he has an album coming out or something, and

927
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: he's like, I took I stopped taking my meds so

928
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 2: I can be more creative, and you know, and then

929
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 2: the article he's talking about micro chips being the planning

930
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: in him and running America like wa Kanda and all

931
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 2: the shit. That is not a person who is a

932
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 2: serious candidate for president. That is a person that is

933
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 2: having an episode. What the fuck is Forbes doing interviewing

934
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 2: that person?

935
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: Like I call Forbes to a task like that? What

936
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: are you doing like that?

937
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 2: Like the why? You know? I love the system, you know,

938
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 2: I'm glad, I'm happy for her.

939
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: What is Judyanne Reed doing breaking down his room for

940
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: president on Twitter all day?

941
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 6: No?

942
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 2: You know this is not a stable person. We are

943
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: we are making it worse to to do this. I

944
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 2: firmly believe that.

945
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 4: Let me tell you why, because there's nothing else to

946
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 4: do South Like a lot of times, the ship now

947
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 4: that actually trends, only trends because there's nothing.

948
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 3: Else to do.

949
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 2: But even when there was stuff to do, Kanye, this

950
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: is a very we are focused on this man in

951
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 2: a way that is not fucking healthy.

952
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: You know, it's not.

953
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: And I see a dude that in my opinion, obviously

954
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not there, but he said these

955
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 2: things and interviews before that he doesn't take his meds

956
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 2: when he's creating, and it's holding him back. And my

957
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 2: bipolar disorder is a superpower.

958
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: When he's manic.

959
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: And then, like I said, whenever he's not, we just

960
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 2: never see him. He's he's he's in that mansion somewhere

961
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 2: away from everybody, and he's, uh, you know, we see

962
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 2: like maybe he gained some way that we see like

963
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 2: he's not smiling, or we see like he you know,

964
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: he attends in some event or something like that. And

965
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 2: you know, and like I said, his family can't make

966
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: him do anything he doesn't want to do. But this

967
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 2: all feels so voyeuristically wrong.

968
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: You know.

969
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 2: It's like and there's a through line of him being

970
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 2: like I'm off my meds, and in him being like

971
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 2: attracted to Trump, attracted to the idea of running for president,

972
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 2: calling himself God, all this stuff, and these are things

973
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: that if this was not a famous, talented man, we

974
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 2: would be like, this is this is the behavings of

975
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 2: a person who is not in the right mind. This

976
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 2: is the behaviors of someone that's on the street, homeless

977
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: or something like that. But because he is who he is,

978
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 2: we treated with a certain level of seriousness. And I

979
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 2: don't feel that that is the right technique because we

980
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: makes it makes you really look through people that claim

981
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: to be empaths that may it makes you look through

982
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 2: people that claim to be a mental health advocated. It's

983
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: in allies to people that have mis because everything you

984
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 2: say about Kanye, your friend that has bipolar disorder, they

985
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: could have an episode like this.

986
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: This is not beyond people. People think that.

987
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: This ship is like some shit that only because Kanye

988
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 2: is so rich and famous, like he should be better

989
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: than this. But it's your brain. It's not a function

990
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 2: of how much money you have. It's literally your brain chemistry.

991
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 2: Even when your own meds, your brain chemistry can adjust

992
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 2: to the meds and you can have another episode. Read

993
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 2: Bosiyikpi's book. I'm telling the truth, but I'm lying for

994
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: a look into it, and she has I think it's

995
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 2: I think I forget the exact diagnosis, but it's like

996
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 2: levels to bipolar disorder and stuff. There's of course, you know,

997
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 2: manic depressive. There's also a schizophrenia, which is a whole

998
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 2: nother thing. Like there's levels to all this shit and we.

999
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: That are in you know, brains that you know basically, Uh,

1000
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: I forget like not neurodivergent or whatever the right the

1001
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: woke term is.

1002
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 2: I don't know them all, but we take it for granted.

1003
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 2: That is just like him giving a bad opinion. He

1004
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: should just stop, Like if enough of us tell him

1005
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: he's wrong, he'll he'll accept that he's wrong. And I

1006
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 2: don't think that it's gonna work. It's just the attention

1007
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: we're giving him. Is the is the drug itself or

1008
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 2: it is the thing that convinces him and his brain

1009
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 2: that way. I'm not saying this up to us to

1010
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: fix him, because that's the other thing. People keep making

1011
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 2: it sound like if you go, well, I'm just not

1012
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: gonna treat it seriously.

1013
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: Then you're saying, yeah, because he ain't doing nothing wrong.

1014
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 2: No, I'm just not gonna treat it seriously because it's

1015
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: not serious for us. It's serious for him personally and

1016
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 2: his family personally, but for me as who aren't voting

1017
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 2: for president. For who you're voting for president? Who most

1018
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 2: motherfuckers are voting for president. It's not a motherfucking factor.

1019
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: Any of the people that do vote for him. Any

1020
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 2: of the people that do vote for him are already

1021
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 2: people that we can't depend on their vote now, So

1022
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: why the fuck are you letting them become the center

1023
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 2: stage just like the people that get we get to

1024
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: the end of the fucking voting. Uh, we get to

1025
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 2: November fourth, and now all these people go, well, you know,

1026
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 2: I'm still undecided, and we put them on Why why.

1027
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 3: Don't give a fuck about your opinion?

1028
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm not. That's how I feel about the

1029
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 2: Kanye shit. And I think you I think people should

1030
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 2: be a really you know, they're not gonna be careful.

1031
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: But I just think people don't see the picture the

1032
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 2: way I see the picture. And that's okay, but that's

1033
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: why the fuck we're here to give our opinions. But

1034
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 2: you know, I refuse to engage in this as if

1035
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 2: I'm talking to a person who's not having an episode.

1036
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that.

1037
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 2: You know, this thing where we're just oh, no, no, no,

1038
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: we can talk about this because everything's no, it's not okay,

1039
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 2: it's not on the up and up. This person is

1040
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 2: not in their right mind, and it's okay for us

1041
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: to just go that person's having an episode, and I

1042
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 2: hope they get help, and I'm gonna leave it at that, right.

1043
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: Anyway, the poe was which one is the best waffles,

1044
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: French toast and pan or panc.

1045
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: Eggs Karen French toasts. Yes, all right, well I'm very

1046
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: surprised by the results. Thirty eight percent went with waffles

1047
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: and set, thirty seven percent went with fresh toast, twenty

1048
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 2: four percent with pancakes. I think I would go with

1049
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: French toast myself.

1050
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I like them all, you know, yeah, French

1051
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 4: toast particularly, like I said.

1052
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 3: I miss restaurants.

1053
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 4: I missed when we used to go to toast and

1054
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 4: we used to get like the stuffed French toast with

1055
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 4: like cream cheese and strawberries, or the ones with they

1056
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 4: had ones to call it the hub. I guess the

1057
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 4: hub of hubble with peanut butter and bananas inside the

1058
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 4: French toast outstanding.

1059
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: Right, that's the thing.

1060
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 2: I I like the French toast sandwich like they call it.

1061
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 2: I think it's called a Monte Cristo Crystal or something

1062
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 2: like that.

1063
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: You could get it at not Toast.

1064
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 2: But there was this other place who used to get

1065
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 2: it at in the South Park area.

1066
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 3: Oh it was the breakfast place.

1067
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 2: It was a breakfast place. Yes, it's over there by

1068
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 2: where Brio is and that little area. I think they closed.

1069
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 2: But oh my god, that fucking Manti Christo or whatever, Chris, that.

1070
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: Fucking sandwich was it?

1071
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 3: That broken egg place?

1072
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: Not Broken Egg.

1073
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 2: No, it's over by the mall, but on the other

1074
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: side of the mall, you know where I used to

1075
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: work that side. Yes, I can't remember that the cut Yes,

1076

Speaker 2: so I don't remember the name of it.

1077
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: But yes, sandwich is so good.

1078
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 2: And you could add like ham or sausage to it,

1079
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 2: an egg on that French toast sandwich. Oh god, anyway,

Speaker 2: Ms Man says, Oh my god. During this quarantine, I

1087
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,560

1091
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 2: too much of the syrup and you have to keep

1092

00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 2: they talked about a party.

1134
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: They used to say party, but maybe they did say feet.

1135
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1136
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,080

1141
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,319

1142
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: grew up wanting to be Daisy Duke because I wanted

1143
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 2: to date one of the Duke boys, not realizing as

1144
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 2: a kid that they were cousins. Oh man, that's the worst.

1145
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 2: You look up later and be like, oh god.

1146
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,160

Speaker 4: you know, you just say, oh they for you don't

1148
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 4: realize the relationships.

1149
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: You're like, what kind of porn? Was I into?

1150
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 4: No?

1151
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 2: One not watching this freaky shit on ex Hamster because

1152
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 2: I was I was raised in this.

1153
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,240
Speaker 1: Okay, should Central Park Karen go to jail?

1154
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 2: Yes?

1155
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 3: Or no?

1156
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: Karen should one of your own go to jail?

1157
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 3: Central Park, Karen go to jail? I say, house arrests

1158
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 3: minimum and fines.

1159
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So that I would say that means

1160
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 2: you're no, that's not jail. I mean house arrest sucks.

1161
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: But we're all on it now at this point.

1162
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 3: Ain't that the truth?

1163
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 2: Just kidding? I know house arrest is worse than this,

1164
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 2: but yeah, eighty two percent say yes, she should go

1165
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 2: to jail.

1166
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: Okay, So Karen is in the eighteen percent.

1167
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: Of people who think she should not go to jail.

1168
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 2: MS barn seventy two says that bitch needed to go

1169
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 2: to jail yesterday with her face and charges. Hopefully it

1170
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 2: sets the president that our consequences were making false calls

1171
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 2: and nine one one bookly as Jubei said, she should

1172
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 2: go to jail for a weekend and then do community service.

1173
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 2: Jane M. Jane Em says, well that Florida politician went

1174
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 2: for Alison Roman. How did a rank against b and

1175
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 2: Patti LaBelle end up catching astray? Patty is at home

1176
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 2: decided which delicious dessert she's gonna sell to the masses

1177
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: at Walmart next fall, and now she's a member of

1178
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 2: the Illuminati.

1179
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: Funny thing.

1180
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 2: Miller said, there's a secret plot to get Obama back

1181
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 2: in office, Like that's a negative. I don't understand the

1182
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 2: whole Illuminati thing, but let's hear them out. Couldn't be

1183
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: much worse than what we got going now. John says

1184
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 2: no comment other than great show as usual. Just want

1185
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 2: to express empathy for Karen, for Karen's everywhere because my people,

1186
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 2: the Coopers, were dragged all week. We found out Amy

1187
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 2: Cooper was against John's last name is Cooper. We found

1188
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 2: out Amy Cooper was charged for her racism, but might

1189
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 2: catch a break because Christian Cooper is a prison abolitionist,

1190
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,280
Speaker 2: which should be expected from a Christian right, shouldn't Christians

1191
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 2: turn the other cheek? Bomoni reminded us of the Eagles

1192
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 2: drama with Riley Cooper in his podcast and Sarah Cooper's

1193
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 2: fans got JL at his peak level of petty. Anybody

1194
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 2: remember Michael Cooper from the band confunction. That's a good point.

1195
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 2: There's a lot of Cooper drama in life right now.

1196
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:35,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, I didn't even think about that. And then

1197
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 2: Bree says, whatever, the charge for hiring a hitman is

1198
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 2: what she should go to jail for because pretty much

1199
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 2: that's what she was trying to call the police on

1200
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 2: that black man.

1201
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it ain't happened to me.

1202
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 2: So I respect whatever decision the man makes regard and

1203
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 2: participation in investigation. Yeah, I think, I like, I guess

1204
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 2: it's because I don't know how much time or whatever.

1205
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 2: I don't expect her to go to jail, expect her

1206
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 2: to really do.

1207
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: Any real time. But I do think there should be

1208
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: a penalty.

1209
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 3: Agree for this.

1210
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: And if it's jail, I don't care.

1211
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 2: It's not like like I don't feel like Christian Cooper

1212
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 2: where I'm like, I don't you know, her life has

1213
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 2: been enough. I just don't care.

1214
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 3: If they say jail, and that's funny. I'm fine with

1215
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 3: that too.

1216
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 4: But a fine, a fee, something that she can't go

1217
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 4: Scott free, No, no, no, such think it's Goott free. No.

1218
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, just mostly And I think because I've always viewed

1219
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 2: it as an individual thing that happened to this man,

1220
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 2: which is just probably because of the way I view.

1221
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: A lot of shit.

1222
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,479
Speaker 2: I look at a lot of shit as like these

1223
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 2: videos that go viral. I look at a lot of

1224
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: these videos and shit that happened to that person, not

1225
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 2: necessarily all black people, although I understand the themes and

1226
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 2: how it gets to that point. So I think maybe

1227
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 2: that's part of the reason that I'm not so like.

1228
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: We gotta get them. Like it's like, this woman.

1229
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 2: Is fucked up on an individual level to this dude,

1230
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 2: and if he wants to participate in that or not,

1231
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't really care. Now.

1232
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: The other thing, too, is Christian Cooper.

1233
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 2: I think freedom is being able to choose how you respond.

1234
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 2: I think a lack of freedom is us pressuring him

1235
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 2: to respond in a certain way.

1236
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 4: And so because a lot of people upset upset to well,

1237
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 4: you want the one to determine.

1238
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 2: That, right. So if his mind is I just want

1239
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 2: to be left alone. I don't want to cooperate talk

1240
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: to the police. I don't want to get in the

1241
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 2: back you're tied it, he might not wanting to drag on. Also,

1242
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 2: this woman is a dangerous fucking stalker, which everyone has

1243
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 2: skipped over in these fucking stories about her, which I

1244
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 2: don't understand how y'all skipping over that. That's a major

1245
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 2: fucking problem for him, being like, I don't want to

1246
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 2: become your new obsession. Leave me out of this. I

1247
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 2: don't I'm not bothering you. All I wanted to do

1248
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 2: was watch some fucking birds, and I don't care. I

1249
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 2: know other people highlighted an article where he said he

1250
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 2: would he thinks that should be more police in Central Park.

1251
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 2: So then people are like, he ain't a prison abolitions.

1252
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 2: I don't know this nigga. I know he might not

1253
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 2: want to be known as the Central Park bird watching nigga.

1254
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 2: And if that's his prerogative, that's fine, whether or not

1255
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 2: that means the state can push something and pursue something

1256
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: to get hurt.

1257
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't care.

1258
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 3: But if they do, they might be like, well, we

1259
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 3: don't care, We're gonna press Yeah.

1260
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: The real question is this, Well, people passing these acts

1261
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 2: of we're gonna like prosecute white people who call the

1262
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 2: police on black people for no reason. I think there's

1263
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 2: a couple of things people need to consider with this.

1264
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: One.

1265
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 2: If we are truly beholden to the system that what

1266
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 2: they want to use to penalize black people, to penalize them,

1267
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 2: if that's something that we really want on a on

1268
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 2: a on a basis that of like, let's put you

1269
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 2: in a punitive system, which still.

1270
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: Does justify that system.

1271
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 2: So I can understand people that are like, I don't

1272
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 2: even want that. Okay. The second thing is what happens

1273
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 2: when this isn't so clear, So when there's not the

1274
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 2: cell phone video and it's my word against yours, when

1275
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 2: maybe I have done something or said something to you

1276
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 2: that would make you want to call the police on me.

1277
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 2: But I can kind of manipulate it into nas you know,

1278
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 2: this is different what happens in domestic situations what like,

1279
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 2: you know, there's other considerations than this. I think we

1280
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 2: all this is what law does. We try to solve

1281
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 2: for the thing that already happened, but then we forget

1282
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 2: the variables of what could happen, and then some day

1283
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 2: years from now, we're gonna be looking back like, man, well,

1284
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 2: in that case, this man was beating his white wife

1285
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 2: and she called the police, and you know he was

1286
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 2: able to part to use the Karen law. They really

1287
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 2: do have a lot of calls or some shit. And

1288
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's what will happen, but I think

1289
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 2: our rush to react and the penalize this woman does.

1290
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 2: I hope, I hope people get it right. I just

1291
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 2: hope that it's not something that it's gonna be some

1292
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 2: slippery slope ass shit, you know, because it's like the

1293
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 2: people that I'll give you a perfect example is people

1294
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 2: that want to pass legislation where you can sue a

1295
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 2: person that accuses you of right falsely.

1296
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not.

1297
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 2: Saying I obviously being accused of rape by someone that

1298
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 2: you did not rape is a horrible fucking thing.

1299
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying it happens a lot.

1300
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 2: But if it did happen to someone, I would understand you.

1301
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Feeling like vengeful, wanting.

1302
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 2: That motherfucker to pay all that shit. I don't think

1303
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 2: there's anything wrong with those feelings. But if we legislate

1304
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 2: those feelings, what about the cases where I did sexual

1305
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 2: assault someone but they can't prove it right we go

1306
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 2: to court because which rarely happens.

1307
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: You rarely go to court.

1308
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 2: But let's say you go to court, I don't get

1309
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 2: convicted because convictions rarely happen in sexual assault cases like that.

1310
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 2: Can I turn around and sue you because I have

1311
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 2: passed the standard of you sued me and lost in court?

1312
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: Now I want you to pay my lawyer fees.

1313
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 2: Want you to go to jail for charging for accusing

1314
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 2: me of something that you couldn't prove that I did. Right,

1315
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 2: So there's like there's just levels to this stuff that

1316
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 2: I think about, you know, and you know, maybe we're

1317
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 2: so far from that that you know, I'm just worried

1318
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 2: about it's becoming black supremacist. Okay, that's what I'm.

1319
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: Trying to say. No, I mean there's levels to it

1320
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: that I think about.

1321
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 2: You know, So, uh that that's all all right. The

1322
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 2: last episode of the week, we talked to Jail Covan.

1323
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 2: It's called Mortal Care. Now, it wasn't our last time

1324
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 2: recording an episode for the week. It was our last

1325
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 2: time recording one, uh for this week.

1326
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Word a show.

1327
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, the people, the people in the live chat got

1328
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 4: an extra free uh special show that nobody else got

1329
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 4: to see lives right.

1330
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: So I'll explain that in a second.

1331
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 2: So anyway, no comments because people are scared of Jail

1332
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 2: Covan and us, you know, they don't want to smoke.

1333
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: But we did have a pole painting black Lives Matter

1334
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: on streets.

1335
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 2: Thanks or no thanks, Karen, Thanks, Seventy two percent say thanks,

1336
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 2: so most of the people.

1337
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Say yeah, well appreciate it.

1338
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 2: Twenty eight percent say no thanks. Because black lives matter

1339
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 2: don't matter to them. They want all lives or white lives.

1340
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 2: Mom's drag with swash, says Frank red Hot nigga. Frank

1341
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 2: red Hot's put that shit on everything since these old

1342
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 2: pays didn't know they was chilled killing niggas like hot hotcakes.

1343
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, put black lives matter on everything.

1344
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 2: That's what I really would like, Just everything, elevators, parking spaces, just.

1345
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: No way you can go.

1346
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 2: You don't see it. Alicia says you should create an

1347
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 2: app that's a game called Mortal Karen. Have various white

1348
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:51,439
Speaker 2: ladies making empty threats or even fighting. That would be hilarious. Yeah, well,

1349
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 2: if I had the time and the money, maybe.

1350
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: Someone gonna do it.

1351
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure. Brooklyn Shoe Base says, as black people don't

1352
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 2: we get walked on a wow, sis you are? You

1353
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 2: are too woke for my blood? Okay, I can't keep

1354
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 2: up with damn that that's so deep. I don't So

1355
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 2: don't put black lives matter on the streets.

1356
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, got it. Lakida Chisholm says perther Pole. My

1357
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: thanks was more of a thanks.

1358
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 2: I guess, well, too bad, Lakita, because it only says thanks,

1359
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 2: so you go into thanks pile.

1360
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: There is no nuance on the PHO.

1361
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 2: Okay, but I feel y'all, I understand, all right, we

1362
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 2: didn't get any voicemails. We did get some emails this week,

1363
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 2: so we'll get into that. But we what we did

1364
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: this week was I'm uploading old episodes of the show,

1365
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 2: trying to put them all on the feet in one place.

1366
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: It's a lot of work. I have to go in

1367
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: individually do each one, and I'm up to like five

1368
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: hundred and something of them, which, you know, which is

1369
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: pretty good in a few days.

1370
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 2: You know.

1371
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: I've just been doing it constantly in the background.

1372
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 2: But one of the things that's interesting is, like, you know,

1373
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 2: in addition to going through old episode titles and guests

1374
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 2: and being like, remember, we knew this motherfucker, Oh this

1375
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 2: nigga was crazy, you know, shit like that, we also

1376
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 2: you know that like different topics, we've evolved on this

1377
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 2: stuff and on a deeper philosophical level. It makes me

1378
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 2: feel like nervous and proud because I'm like, oh, this

1379
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 2: is where we came from. These are the opinions we

1380
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 2: used to have, These are the jokes we used to make,

1381
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 2: These are the topics we used to broach, you know,

1382
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 2: and this is a learning thing that we've done for

1383
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: ten years. This is something that people don't have an

1384
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 2: archive of ten years of their opinions just sitting out there,

1385
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 2: you know. And honestly, I think this is what the

1386
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 2: world needs is more of this, because it's not like

1387
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 2: we ever took them off to hide anything. We just

1388
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 2: took them off because literally, it costs so much money

1389
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: to host this much audio.

1390
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 3: Back in the day, they didn't have unlimited Yeah.

1391
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: So you know, basically I had to upgrade our account,

1392
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: which costs a lot of money, and then start putting

1393
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: the stuff back out there. But I want people to

1394
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: be able.

1395
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 2: To go back and listen to those episodes because I

1396
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 2: think what so much of the world is now is

1397
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 2: hiding every part of you that.

1398
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't look glossy.

1399
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 4: You know.

1400
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 2: It's the right angle, the right filter, the right crop

1401
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 2: on all your Instagram pictures. You know, it's the deleting,

1402
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, all your tweets, it's you know, it's all

1403
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 2: of that shit. And we penalize people for being less

1404
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 2: than perfect. We go, well, you weren't perfect in two

1405
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: thousand and eight, so you must be terrible now. And

1406
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's you said this thing and in

1407
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 2: twenty ten and look at you now you say the opposite.

1408
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 2: Well you're gonna address you know. So I feel like

1409
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 2: it's very unhealthy. But also you can't be afraid of that,

1410
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You can't be afraid really,

1411
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 2: to be fair, you can't really be ashamed of it,

1412
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 2: because it's human. You should be getting better, you should

1413
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 2: be growing. So that's a big thing. I want to

1414
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 2: put all that stuff back out there. But there's one

1415
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 2: episode that we lost the audio for, so episode twenty four.

1416
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 3: I think it's called yeah we can see it.

1417
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: We Speak English Boy or something like that.

1418
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 2: There is no fucking audio for it. We had a

1419
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 2: blank audio foul. I don't know how the audio went blank.

1420
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 2: I don't know it was not uploaded blank obviously because

1421
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 2: people had listened to that episode. I've never met anyone

1422
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 2: that has an MP three four. I've never met anyone

1423
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 2: that has it saved on a device. We've asked the

1424
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 2: audience before, we're never getting this episode back. It is

1425
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 2: a lost episode twenty four, and for people that are

1426
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 2: listening to show for the first time, to go all

1427
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 2: the way back to episode one, they're gonna be listening.

1428
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 2: They're gonna get the episode twenty four and it's blank.

1429
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna be like, the fuck is happening.

1430
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 2: We can see the description from the episode and the

1431
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 2: topics we talked about, but this episode is according to

1432
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 2: twenty ten, y'all twenty ten. So well we did Thursday. Hey,

1433
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 2: I came up with this idea. I did a mini

1434
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 2: meditation one day. I'm not joking, that's what happened. I

1435
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 2: did a mini meditation one day because it was frustrating

1436
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 2: me looking at that fucking episode. I've been looking at

1437
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 2: it for ten years, like what the fuck.

1438
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 4: It's like, it's like a placeholder on the site, because

1439
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 4: if you go through the site, it was like, yeah,

1440
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:25,719
Speaker 4: this episode is blank.

1441
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 3: But we got to hear for a placeholder.

1442
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 2: So what we did instead we re recorded the audio.

1443
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 2: So we re recorded the episode of our Wednesday episode.

1444
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 2: We just didn't crowdcashing can see it, and we just

1445
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 2: didn't really allude to the fact that yeah, and so

1446
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 2: we just started the episode and we like played a

1447
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 2: song to open the show the way we used to.

1448
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: We had music in the background the way we used to.

1449
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 2: We you know, we just talked about the topics and stuff,

1450
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 2: but you know, inside jokes obviously for us, being like

1451
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 2: we know this is ten years later, and you know

1452
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 2: we're making you know, because if someone listens to it

1453
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 2: in order, they're gonna be like episode twenty four.

1454
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: Damn how they know that?

1455
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 4: You know?

1456
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: How did they predict that someone like Trump could come

1457
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: to tower?

1458
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 2: You know? How did they could predict that the coronavirus

1459
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 2: would one day?

1460
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 6: Ah?

1461
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: You know, so we thought it would be.

1462
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 2: Cute, and I think the audience enjoyed it in the chat,

1463
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 2: so it was it was fun for those folks. But

1464
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 2: you know, but we didn't tell them, so they just

1465
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 2: thought we were like out of our minds for the

1466
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 2: first Like, however, long like what the fuck is this?

1467
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: What are they doing?

1468
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 3: Why didn't talk about shit that already happened? Yeah, with

1469
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 3: some of the articles we couldn't find because it was

1470
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 3: so long ago.

1471
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it doesn't make any sense.

1472
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 2: So and no, I don't see any voicemails on the

1473
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,320

01:10:58,280 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm curious whether or.

1480
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 2: Not you've had a chance to play The Last of

1481
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 2: Us Too yet. If so, what are your thoughts as

1482
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 2: well as the information before it is released and after?

1483
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: Thanks y'all, bless up. PS. We need some more of

1484
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: those bars from Karen.

1485
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So I've been playing a little bit of the

1486
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 2: Last of Us Too, and a couple hours into it,

1487
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 2: I did not pay attention or read a single leak

1488
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 2: of what happened or the plot points or the controversy

1489
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:31,879
Speaker 2: over it. So I just don't want to be spoiled.

1490
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: But I have been playing the game and it's fucking amazing.

1491
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 2: It's intense. It picks up where the second one where

1492
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 2: the first one left off.

1493
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: It looks great.

1494
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,440
Speaker 2: We talked about a lot on the nerd off yesterday

1495
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 2: that we do, which is a premium show, a spinoff show,

1496
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 2: which you can get by going to the black tips

1497
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 2: dot com slash Premium and becoming a premium listener and

1498
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 2: you can listen to it. Jamie Lynn says, good morning, riding, Karen.

1499
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 2: I've been listening for years and I recently went premium.

1500
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: Okay, we.

1501
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 2: Love this energy. Shout out to that Corona sale. We try,

1502
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,480
Speaker 2: but I don't think I've ever sent it any feedback.

1503
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 2: I've had plenty to say, but from the mind to

1504
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 2: the pen is a journey my lazy black ass hasn't

1505
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 2: been able to make until now.

1506
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: I listened to episode twenty one thirty five.

1507
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 2: And your guest Frankie stated that she didn't share about

1508
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 2: her miscarriage in the pandemic because of all the movement

1509
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 2: around Black Lives Matter, and she didn't want to be

1510
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 2: a distraction to the bigger issue. My heart broke two.

1511
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 2: Often black women have to put their pay in the

1512
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 2: backseat to make room or leave space for another issue

1513
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 2: or topic of the time. I just wanted to leave

1514
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,320
Speaker 2: a quick message and say I'll see you and I'm

1515
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 2: so sorry for your lost Jamie p. Yeah, yeah, that

1516
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 2: was like heartbreaking to heir talk about that and her

1517
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 2: reasoning for not like.

1518
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 1: Wanting to talk about it, And I mean, you know,

1519
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: you gotta honor somebody's reasons. What are you gonna know?

1520
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 2: Oh, you you know this isn't good will, honey. We're

1521
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 2: gonna shake our shoulders and make her talk about it.

1522
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 2: But you know, it does feel like you know, like

1523
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this the other day when Insecure

1524
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 2: had episodes dropping, you know, the the writers and all

1525
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 2: this stuff, they be on Twitter promoting it, and then

1526
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 2: when the George Floyd stuff happened, they would have to

1527
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 2: I mean, this is their work, this is something they know.

1528
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 1: These things are dope and they culminate and they it's

1529
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: so they have to be like, God, listen.

1530
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 3: I mean we're not pressuring nobody. I mean such a dvall.

1531
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: And I'm like I need this escape.

1532
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 2: But for them, it's just you know, it's like, as

1533
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,839
Speaker 2: black people, we just have to consider so much shitting

1534
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 2: because you know, it is such a weird, petty thing

1535
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 2: and there are so much there's so much jealousy and

1536
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 2: people people just assuming the worst of folks that you

1537
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 2: do feel a pressure to be like.

1538
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 3: Doing something you don't care they don't care.

1539
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,799
Speaker 2: Yeah you do feel like, yeah, you feel a pressure

1540
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 2: like should I shrink myself down? Can I say that?

1541
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 2: You know I lost my job when other people lost

1542
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 2: their lives. And it's not just black people, by the way,

1543
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 2: Like there's white people that you know are not these

1544
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 2: you know, just fucked up evil white people that correct

1545
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 2: something bad happens to them and people like shit on them, Like, uh,

1546
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,639
Speaker 2: when a world where George Floyd got killed, you worried

1547
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 2: about losing your job and not paying your rent.

1548
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: It's like we're all human.

1549
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a real problem for me, it is, you know,

1550
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,759
Speaker 2: so but uh yeah, when people play that like oppression

1551
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 2: Olympic shit, it does make you, you know, worry about that.

1552
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: That being said, I don't think she should be worried

1553
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 1: about it.

1554
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 4: I'm sad that she was, but I do understand that feeling,

1555
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 4: you know, because so much is going on. But the

1556
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 4: fact if you say this, people that act like you're

1557
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 4: quote unquote taken away from the conversation.

1558
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 3: Can we talking about both?

1559
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I don't know, but yeah, it was. It

1560
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 2: was a sad moment too, And you know, and also

1561
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 2: privately that's such a thing too, where like privately you

1562
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 2: may want to deal with that internally with you and

1563
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 2: your family and all this other stuff, and maybe you're

1564
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 2: not ready to have a public discussion of your you know,

1565
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 2: of your tragedy. Yeah.

1566
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 4: And also I've never been pregnant, never had any kids,

1567
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 4: anything like that. But also it's something where people almost

1568
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 4: make women in general feel ashamed about a miscarriage, even

1569
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 4: though it's something natural and it happens to a lot

1570
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 4: of women. It happens to Black women at a higher

1571
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 4: rate than any other group of women, but it does happen,

1572
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 4: and particularly Black women particularly feel like they're alone and

1573
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 4: they get to talking to so many family members and

1574
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 4: relatives and they'll come back and be like, yeah, I

1575
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:40,719
Speaker 4: had one too, I had one too, And you realize

1576
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,480
Speaker 4: it's something that goes along in the family and nobody

1577
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 4: fucking talked about it. So while you, quote unquote are

1578
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 4: going through the suffering, you're thinking you're the only one.

1579
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 2: That has experienced this, and somebody talks about it, and

1580
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 2: honestly and like one they should, like I'm not. I

1581
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 2: don't think people would come at her for that like that,

1582
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 2: but in the pettiness and the fucked upness of people

1583
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 2: right now, and that might even explain why she was

1584
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 2: so motivated at the time to be like, let's shake

1585
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 2: shit up, because you know, you're dealing with something in

1586
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 2: your life and this cause is a bit of an

1587
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 2: escape too, Like it's a way to deal with your

1588
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 2: pain in a different direction, to say, let me focus

1589
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 2: on something because I'm having this internal thing, but let

1590
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 2: me focus on the fact that this is such a

1591
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 2: racist landscape and comedy so like it might take.

1592
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 1: Years to work through some shit like that.

1593
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 2: You might never work through that, so, I you know,

1594
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 2: it's a lot to talk about on the fly, But yeah,

1595
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: I just appreciate her openness for even being willing to

1596
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 2: discuss that, you know, And I think it's a credit

1597
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 2: to the show and to the guests we have on

1598
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 2: that people feel like they can even talk about that

1599
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 2: stuff here because you just never know.

1600
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 4: And I'm glad she shared and was very open about

1601
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 4: it and willing to talk about it because there's a

1602
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 4: lot of shame or wrapped around that, and this is

1603
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 4: something that some women struggle forever until the day they die,

1604
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 4: because you know, the loss of a child is actually

1605
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 4: something that you never ever get over, and that's something

1606
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 4: that people have to understand too.

1607
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 2: Yep. So you know, glad, and I appreciate you know,

1608
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 2: the note that you dropped, and you know, I know

1609
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 2: people have been talking to her on social media and

1610
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 2: stuff as well, so you know, y'all are such a

1611
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 2: great group of fans and people like that. Hey, Rach, Rach,

1612

Speaker 2: I've been listening to you and Korn since twenty thirteen.

1613
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 2: I don't get to always comment this is Wallace and

1614
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 2: emails called random quotes. I don't get to always comment

1615
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 2: on the shows that I like. I have a stack

1616
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 2: of old comments from old shows that I wanted to

1617
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 2: see you, but in the interest of time, I'll include

1618
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 2: just three. Episode eighteen seventy seven, you you stated Trump

1619
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 2: supersized white nationalism on a paper plate with a sport,

1620
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 2: and white folks ate it up. Episode eighteen eighty four,

1621
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 2: you stated, our show is black supported by black listeners.

1622
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 2: Who's super so we super served black shit. You should

1623
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 2: have You should make that the official model of the show.

1624
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 1: You know what, you know what?

1625
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 2: Don't play because it used to be nothing wrong If

1626
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 2: it's funny, but I don't know. Black supporter by black listeners?

1627
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 2: Who sup we super served black shit? It kind of

1628
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 2: ring to it. In episode eighteen seventy nine, you said

1629
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 2: that only one percent of your followers listen to your podcast.

1630
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 2: How I mean that does not listen? Twitter goes to

1631
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 2: people's head. That shit don't really affect me much because

1632
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 2: it does not translate to nothing offline. It doesn't.

1633
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: It don't mean shit, dog, I got.

1634
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 4: Mean they're gonna financially support you. It don't mean they're

1635
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 4: gonna show up. It don't mean any of that.

1636
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: Like thirty some thousand people follow me on Twitter.

1637
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 2: It's not And I mean, and the people who download

1638
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 2: our podcasts don't all follow me on Twitter or have Twitter.

1639
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 4: Correct a lot of the platforms that don't have most

1640
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 4: don't have probably don't have social media at all.

1641
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, so even the downloads and shit don't really mean

1642
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 2: that they listen into the show even you know, it

1643
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 2: don't mean nothing, man like, let this shit go to

Speaker 3: Nope, And we and the wild part is we we

1656
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 3: we are the type of people.

1657
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 4: We encourage you to go find a home because we

1658
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 4: tell people, if you come here and we ain't for you,

1659
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 4: there's plenty of other podcasts you could listen to that

1660
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 4: not actually fit.

1661
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 3: Whatever your knees and taste are. It doesn't always have

1662
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 3: to be us.

1663
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1664
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't be on to deal with that shit anymore.

1665
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 3: No, So I'd rather you go find your home somewhere else.

1666
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 2: I wish you had let Jamel Hill comment on the

1667
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 2: news of the day. That would have been what news

1668
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 2: of the day. I don't even know. Oh, oh, you

1669
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 2: mean we didn't do our segments. Well, it's interesting because

1670
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 2: I feel like I matriculated the news up in that

1671
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 2: bitch though.

1672
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: Did you not notice how smooth I was in that show?

1673
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 2: You didn't peak the light hand up finesse when I

1674
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,839
Speaker 2: was just like Bubba Wallace, bam. You know what I'm saying, NBA,

1675

Speaker 2: NBA trying to resume slid out, you know what I'm saying.

1676
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Like I was sliding it up in there. I just

1677
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:24,519
Speaker 1: wasn't making segments.

1678
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 3: It was Yeah, it was like more of a conversation.

1679
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I did get it. There were articles I

1680
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 2: checked off. This is what I'm saying in the background,

01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 2: I was just clicking them off. But I just was

1684
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,600
Speaker 2: so smooth with the transition. Y'all didn't even know what

1685
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 2: it was. Y'all didn't even feel it. It was just like, bam,

1821
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:36,879
Speaker 2: is a constant thing because it's evolving and we're constantly

1822
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 2: being hipped to new things.

1823
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: And learning new things, and it's hard to keep up.

1824
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 2: I won't lie, and it's hard to reframe your brain

1825
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 2: to do all that shit. But my thing is I

1826
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 2: don't want to disrespect people if I can avoid it. Agree,

1827
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 2: My goal is never to make people feel bad with

1828
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 2: things coming out of my mouth for just the way

1829
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 2: they exist in the world. That's not you know, that's

1830
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 2: not something I want to do, you know what I mean.

1831
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't really.

1832
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 2: Really label myself anything really, you know what I'm saying,

1833
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 2: Like a lie, feminists is whatever. Although I'm not afraid

1834
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 2: of those labels, I just don't. I just don't apply

1835
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,600
Speaker 2: because you know, to me, it's not really up to

1836
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 2: you to decide or whatever. But I do want to

1837
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 2: be you know. I do strive to be a person

1838
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 2: who is trying to make an attempt.

1839
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: To have empathy and care for people and.

1840
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 2: To express that and to make sure it's not a

1841
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 2: bad thing, to make sure that people don't see it

1842
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 2: as weakness or whatever.

1843
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: And I think a big part of that is this

1844
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:39,559
Speaker 1: resistance and people want to be cool. And I know us.

1845
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 2: As straight people, especially as a straight black man, there's

1846
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 2: an element of cool and ignorance that is combined, it's

1847
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 2: like I'm ignorant to this shit, therefore I'm cool. So

1848
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 2: even though I know better and I notice the right

1849
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 2: thing to do, I'm gonna make a big production out

1850
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 2: of doing the wrong thing.

1851
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a big.

1852
01:27:56,240 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 2: Production out of, like, you know, adjusting to someone's pronouns shit.

1853
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:04,320
Speaker 2: And I feel like that, like we don't have to

1854
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 2: do that if it's really your struggle and you're struggling,

1855
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 2: I understand.

1856
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:10,679
Speaker 1: But if you know this thing where like every time

1857
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: someone trans name come.

1858
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 2: Up, we do the like, well, I guess they don't, well,

1859
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 2: you know this like where it's like I'm half respecting it.

1860
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 2: I didn't want to make the eye show that, And honestly,

1861
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 2: I haven't always been on point. I got introduced to

1862
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 2: the idea of transnis on this show. Like one of

1863
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 2: the episodes I uploaded, I think we talked about Chelsea

1864
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 2: Manning if I'm not mistaken, and I think Chelsea Manning's.

1865
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: Dead name I think was Erward Snowden.

1866
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:45,799
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm getting confused, but Chelsea Manning was a person

1867
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 2: that was arrested for leaking information from the government under

1868
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 2: the Bamba administration, and within that I believe she also

1869
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 2: said I'm trans, And I remember being like, what the fuck,

1870
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 2: Like you just got arrest and now you're a woman,

1871
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,640
Speaker 2: Like why are you doing this? Like are you like,

1872
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 2: what's the what are you planning the benefit from this?

1873
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 2: You think you'll get sympathy? Blah blah blah.

1874
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: You know, I remember being so fucking confused about.

1875
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 2: It and and distrustful and stuff. And I want to

1876
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 2: say it was two episodes or either that feedback episode

1877
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 2: I believe our girl Olivia wrote in and was talking

1878
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 2: about like transness and hormone therapy and all this stuff,

1879
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, why do I give a fuck?

1880
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 2: I don't, like, I don't care to stop this person

1881
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 2: from getting the treatment that they need if this is

1882
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:38,280
Speaker 2: this is some legitimate thing that I just don't understand.

1883
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 1: And I wanted to be sure with that. Hold on

1884
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 1: a second, but all right, we're back.

1885
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, So the thing is, I like, I I

1886
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 2: don't want to be embarrassed by that process, because I

1887
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 2: think everyone, if they're trying to be better, should go

1888
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 2: through a process of learning, you know, and it's not

1889
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 2: you're coming from it in because all times when you

1890
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 2: don't know.

1891
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:02,759
Speaker 1: Something is ignorant.

1892
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 2: So you're coming from an ignorant place and you're trying

1893
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:06,640
Speaker 2: to get to a place where you know better. And

1894
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,600
Speaker 2: when you know better, you try to do better, and

1895
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,679
Speaker 2: you try to strive to make that a standard. Mostly

1896
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 2: I try. I think intent does matter. People try to

1897
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:16,920
Speaker 2: tell your intent doesn't matter. I think that's bullshit. Don't

1898
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 2: trust those people. Those people are fucked up. Yes, your

1899
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,919
Speaker 2: intent does matter. It might not be the most important

1900
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:25,640
Speaker 2: thing in the equation, but it matters. And I know,

1901
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 2: as a black person, a marginalized person, it matters to

1902
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 2: me the intent of a person when they fuck up,

1903
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 2: in the intent of a person when they're doing well,

1904
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 2: you know, because if they fuck if you fuck up

1905
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 2: and it's from a good place, I can forgive that,

1906
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 2: I can adjust to that. I can even understand that

1907
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 2: because everyone has done that. If you fuck up and

1908
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:45,679
Speaker 2: it's from a bad place, I can understand that as well.

1909
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:49,840
Speaker 2: Everyone's also done that. But it's a different level of judgment, right, so,

1910
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 2: you know, whether it be pronouns people's I mean, when

1911
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,200
Speaker 2: the show started a long time ago, my thing was,

1912
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:02,599
Speaker 2: I did not care what was happening in your bedroom,

1913
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:04,280
Speaker 2: you know, And I'm a person that came from a

1914
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 2: Christian background in a southern state where I've you know,

1915
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,439
Speaker 2: my whole life, people have been obsessed with gay people

1916
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:12,839
Speaker 2: and queer people in there.

1917
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, like what's going on with them?

1918
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 3: Like, you know, didn't care?

1919
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I like, when I was in church, it

1920
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 2: wasn't just that I didn't care, but at the time

1921
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 2: I articulated it in I didn't care, as in, I

1922
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 2: don't care what your sexual orientation is. It's not my

1923
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 2: fucking business, right, I don't care what you're doing in

1924
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 2: your bedroom. Also not my business. I'm not having sex

1925
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 2: with you. I do not understand why I should be

1926
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 2: obsessed about this. Come on, and you can kind of

1927
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 2: hear it in the way I talk about celebrities and

1928
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 2: why I don't really give a fuck about Jada Pinkett

1929
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 2: and Will Smith, Like, literally, not my fucking business.

1930
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 1: Y'all made it everyone's business. I don't have to opt

1931
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 1: into that, right.

1932
01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 2: But my point being I evolved on that to no,

1933
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 2: I do care because you're being oppressed. You're being forced

1934
01:31:56,479 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 2: to hide your sexuality. You're being criminalized for your sexuality,

1935
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,400
Speaker 2: you're being criminalized for your the way you have sex,

1936
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 2: You're not being allowed to be married so any righteous person,

1937
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 2: any good person, is not looking at the more equivalency

1938
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:15,320
Speaker 2: and going, eh, I don't really care. That's not that's

1939
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:17,760
Speaker 2: you're not necessarily actively being a bad person, but you

1940
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 2: ain't necessarily helping agree, you.

1941
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying.

1942
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 2: It's like I'm looking at you try to move a

1943
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 2: couch upstairs to your apartment, and I'm just like, I'm

1944
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,519
Speaker 2: not gonna stand in your way. Yeah, I'm not gonna

1945
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 2: block the door, right, And I would rather take up

1946
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 2: my end of the couch and be like, let me

1947
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:33,600
Speaker 2: help you get your couch to your house, you know

1948
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, and so and then be like, y'all

1949
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 2: gonna have gay sex on this couch, you know what

1950
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Not just kidding, but nah, I want to

1951
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,880
Speaker 2: help you get get up there. So uh yeah, that's

1952
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 2: the kind of shit that I think. I try not

1953
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 2: to think of what we do and say too much

1954
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:50,840
Speaker 2: of being examples and trying to influence people. But by

1955
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:53,080
Speaker 2: the nature of what we do and say, we are examples.

1956
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,479
Speaker 2: We do influence people. That's the truth of the matter.

1957
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 2: We do have a platform. You I don't want to

1958
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 2: navigate it as if that's the only thing I think about,

1959
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,000
Speaker 2: because authenticity, to.

1960
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 1: Me is the real gift.

1961
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:08,679
Speaker 2: It's the real thing that we have on the show

1962
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:11,320
Speaker 2: that you're not gonna find just everywhere. It's a lot

1963
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 2: of people that are so commercialized and packaged and you know, focused,

1964
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 2: group testing and shit, and it's so sanitized that you're like,

1965
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 2: that's not even a real person, agreed. You know, So

1966
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,599
Speaker 2: when you hear us make jokes on here that kind

1967
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 2: of lighten the mood, that kind of that's an intentional choice.

1968
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 2: When you hear us, you know, make points about like, well,

1969
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 2: you know, even though this might be the woke wave

1970
01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:36,600
Speaker 2: right now, but I can see some downfalls of this.

1971
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 2: That matters too, because at least, you know, we being

1972
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 2: real as opposed to being performative on some level of

1973
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 2: like fakeness for you to feel good and sanitized by.

1974
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,599
Speaker 2: But no person can live up to those ideas. And

1975
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 2: so hopefully people see two human beings talking all the time,

1976
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:55,800
Speaker 2: and when we fall short, they see human beings that

1977
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 2: hopefully can step back up.

1978
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:02,480
Speaker 1: And when we you know, push beyond the boundaries.

1979
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:05,040
Speaker 2: They're at, they see people that are like ideals that

1980
01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 2: are attainable, achievable, reason and thoughtful. You know, and you know,

1981
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:11,680
Speaker 2: it really does warm more heart with people right in

1982
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,560
Speaker 2: and especially since had black men, to be honest, that

1983
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 2: are like this did change my point of view on this.

1984
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:19,960
Speaker 2: This did make me think about something differently because I

1985
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 2: hope to make people, you know, I hope I do that.

1986
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:24,720
Speaker 2: I do that shit in my life. The things you

1987
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 2: say about correcting pronouns, you know, people that use like

1988
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:32,519
Speaker 2: homophobic slurs and stuff. You know, I have had some

1989
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 2: uncomfortable conversations at a basketball court or question some people.

1990
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm not, you know, furious styles, but I have, you know,

1991
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:41,679
Speaker 2: pulled out a couple like, hey man.

1992
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:44,640
Speaker 1: What's wrong with being gay? Why you got to say

1993
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 1: it that way?

1994
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 2: You know? And maybe that makes me not the coolest

1995
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 2: got to have around in some rooms. Maybe I'm not

1996
01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:52,080
Speaker 2: gonna be the most popular motherfucker. But I can live

1997
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 2: with myself, you know what I mean. I don't do

1998
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:56,840
Speaker 2: it every day. It's not an after school special up

1999
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:59,599
Speaker 2: in this piece. But you know, I picked and choose

2000
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 2: my people. Well, some people you can reach to.

2001
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:01,719
Speaker 1: Some you can't.

2002
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:06,040
Speaker 2: But if anyone, if one person here's our show and

2003
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 2: takes that attitude forward, then we're doing a great job.

2004
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 2: And especially if I said if, especially since that black

2005
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 2: man not to make it.

2006
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 1: It's all about them.

2007
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 2: But like the way I view it, we are so

2008
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:20,920
Speaker 2: far behind and our culture is allowing us to be behind,

2009
01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 2: and racism is allowing us to be behind. They don't

2010
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 2: expect shit out of us. That's why it's okay for

2011
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 2: you know, Snoop Dog to call Gail King a bitch

2012
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:32,280
Speaker 2: and he just can be on TV again like nothing happened.

2013
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 2: Because the standard is much lower for us. You know,

2014
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:39,680
Speaker 2: That's why Deshaun Jackson can be anti Semitic, and you know,

2015
01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 2: essentially people are gonna some people are gonna defend it,

2016
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 2: even like his heart's in the right place where if

2017
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:46,680
Speaker 2: we didn't, none of us thine, anyone's heart was in

2018
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:48,320
Speaker 2: the right place when they say some racist.

2019
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 3: Shit, you know what I mean, nobody, no benefiting, no doubt.

2020
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: So I'm not here to punish black men. I'm not

2021
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:55,599
Speaker 1: here to dinner grate black men.

2022
01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm here because I love us, I love all our people,

2023
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 2: and I don't think challenging somebody to do better is

2024
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 2: necessarily a bad thing. I try to challenge myself. I'm

2025
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:09,639
Speaker 2: not gonna always get there on everything, but I'm definitely

2026
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:11,640
Speaker 2: gonna try to come in with the best intentions. I

2027
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:14,680
Speaker 2: hope that we do better. So all right, that was

2028
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 2: a long way of saying, you know, thank you for listening,

2029
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 2: and I appreciate you trying to do better and do

2030
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:23,680
Speaker 2: more with the people around you, because it starts with

2031
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 2: the people in your face. Like it's easy to do

2032
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 2: this little shit on the podcast. It's easy to do

2033
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:30,519
Speaker 2: this shit on Twitter. It's easy.

2034
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:32,799
Speaker 1: Everyone gets the cherry pick what the fuck counts.

2035
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 2: It's much harder to do this shit to somebody's face,

2036
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. One thing, going through these

2037
01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 2: old episodes, man, listen, you can look at the guests

2038
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 2: we used.

2039
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 3: To have, the conversations to have.

2040
01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:45,680
Speaker 1: I hope people hear that some of.

2041
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 3: That stuff would it would not fly today.

2042
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, not just that, but like the gentle like I'm

2043
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:53,920
Speaker 2: not because I'm not afraid of a conversation period, but

2044
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,599
Speaker 2: the gentle like, hey man, I don't agree with this,

2045
01:36:57,240 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and then eventually to the well fuck it,

2046
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 2: you just don't get to come on the show no more,

2047
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, like what you do

2048
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 2: and what we do two separate, don't need to mix.

2049
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 2: So you know, you have to take a stand, man,

2050
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:12,479
Speaker 2: and that's something we learned to do over time.

2051
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:14,599
Speaker 1: And I'm very proud of what we do now.

2052
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 2: But hopefully if we keep doing this ten more years,

2053
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:18,880
Speaker 2: I'll look back at these episodes and be like, we

2054
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:21,400
Speaker 2: could have did better, because that's what the goal is, right, Yes, sir,
