How does a podcast hosted by two 7 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: POC's from New York and New Jersey make it to 8 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: the top of the Spotify list? Yeah, I had to, 9 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: I had I bailed. I bailed too soon when I 10 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: got scared of my own talent. The pressure freestyle. 11 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: Yes, you know, don't don't let it. You have to 12 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: just let that loose. It's in you, it is in me. 13 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: Like so many people, I just spent my uh what 14 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 2: are we calling this the fifteenth day after Juneteenth holiday weekend? 15 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: I just spent that watching Hamilton on repeat? And genuinely, 16 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 2: I know, Tiffany, you haven't seen Hamilton. What's your excuse now, 17 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: my friend. 18 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not much of a TV watcher. 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: I don't understand the premise. 20 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: No, no, I've heard the primes of Hamilton TV. Do 21 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: you mean? 22 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 2: Like, but everyone watches on their computer now and I 23 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: don't really consider it well, actually we watch on our 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: actual television, but it's like Netflix and Disney Plus, are 25 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: they really TV? 26 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know. I don't say. I just don't. 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: I just have not really gotten into like my husband 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: loves like movies and shows and things like that. I 29 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: just it's rare for like a show or movie or 30 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: whatever to hold my anterest very long these days. I 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: don't know. 32 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: So I just it's two hours and forty minutes. 33 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: No, no, I might. I might take to it like 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: I did with Kimmy Kimmy Schmidt. I love that. 35 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: Oh like yourself some Titus Titus Burgess, Hey, Titus Fellow, 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: Ega grad love you I And he also retweeted our 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: being named Grady campaign. Thanks mister. But listen, I have 38 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: to talk about Hamilton, and hopefully this will encourage you 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: to watch it, because whether or not you are a 40 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: Broadway fan, a history fan, musical fan, story, hip hop fan, whatever, 41 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: I think Hamilton became such a cultural touchstone when it 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: was premiered on Broadway, or when it premiered on Broadway 43 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: four or five years ago, and it was the defining 44 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: piece of artwork for I think a generation, and it's 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: going to become what Camelot was to the Kennedys, where 46 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: Hamilton is the Obama administration. Everyone's going to remember the 47 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: time of Obama in Hamilton. And it is for those 48 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: of you who have been sleeping under a rock or 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: just you know, avoiding it, like Tiffany and My Little Brother. 50 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: Hamilton is a musical based on the life of Alexander 51 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 2: Hamilton and our founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and others who 52 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: fought in the Revolutionary War and wrote our Declaration of Independence, 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: the Bill of Rights, how our nation was founded, and 54 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: the fact that it was founded by in one of 55 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: the founders, Alexander Hamilton. Like a lot of people, all 56 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 2: I knew about him was that he was killed in 57 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: a duel, and that seemed really dumb. And Glynn Manuel Miranda, 58 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: who grew up in Washington Heights in New York. He 59 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: is Puerto Rican. His parents immigrated here from the island 60 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: before he was born. And hip hop was really, you know, 61 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: like in the Heights. I mean, hip hop was just 62 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: instrumental to his growing up. And he also became a 63 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: Broadway nerd, and he really mashed those two things together 64 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: when he created Hamilton. He's won the Pilitzer. He's been 65 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: named MacArthur Genius. This was a phenomenon, like people in 66 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: Middle America knew about a show that they couldn't even 67 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: see in New York City, and now it's all over 68 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: the country, or at least it was before it became 69 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: too dangerous to go to theaters anymore, which is very 70 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: sad to me. So now it has been released on 71 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: Disney Plus as a film. They actually filmed Hamilton four 72 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: years ago when they were just about it was after 73 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: the first year of their run on Broadway, and now 74 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: it's available. And what's so fascinating about Hamilton is it 75 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: was for me, it was huge, Like Tiffany, if you've 76 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: ever been to a Broadway show, you know, the audience 77 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: is usually very old, very white, and I've been going 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: to shows. I mean also the audience is very old 79 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: and very white because it's very expensive to go to Broadway. 80 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: I mean, we're talking about two hundred dollars for a 81 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: show unless you really know you know how to get 82 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: cheap tickets, and there's not very many ways to get 83 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 2: like affordable tickets anymore, especially there's so much demand for 84 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: lotteries and things like that. So Broadway really is just 85 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: inherent in the in the in the art form. It 86 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: is I think classes because it really keeps out people 87 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: who are at lower income threshold and cannot afford to 88 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: see it. And I only really began to be able 89 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: to afford Broadway like a few years ago, and even 90 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: then I had to save and it was really a 91 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: big moment for me to go to a show. Hamilton 92 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: for me was so important and so huge is because 93 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: the cast is largely people of color, Latino, Filipino, black. 94 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: It features a hip hop retelling of the founding of 95 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: our nation. It is powerful. It is so powerful if 96 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 2: you are like me and you have been starved for 97 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: stories on Broadway from people who look like us. I 98 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: remember very specifically when I saw Nashville on Broadway, which 99 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: is set I think in the nineteen sixties, and it 100 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: tells it tells the story of Motown but through the 101 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: lens of the artists who performing in Nashville at the time, 102 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: and it was beautiful. And there really haven't been that 103 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 2: many more moments for me on Broadway. And then Hamilton 104 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: comes around, and not only is the stage diverse, but 105 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: the audience became more diverse because they came to see 106 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: a play that featured people who look like them and 107 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: it was magical. What's happening now it's four years later, 108 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: Now we're in this different context. Back then, it was like, yeah, 109 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: Trump was elected, but Hamilton came around twenty fifteen, twenty 110 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: sixteen before Trump was elected. It was still the good 111 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: old years, you know, with in power, and Hamilton seemed 112 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: to embolize everything that you know, the Obama stood for. 113 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 2: And they were very supportive of the play and saw 114 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: a million times. But now we're in twenty twenty. We've 115 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: got the backdrop Black Lives Matter movement, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, 116 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 2: Elijah McCain, all of these, you know, and and the 117 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: list goes on and on, and we're in the middle 118 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: of a pandemic. And Hamilton was universally beloved at least 119 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: it felt that way when it first came out. But 120 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: what we're seeing now is people like my brother, for example, 121 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: have watched Hamilton and he's never seen it before, and he, 122 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: you know, he din'ner. He was like, almost seems really overhyped. 123 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to like just jump on any bandwagon, 124 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: but I begged him, begged him, begged him to watch 125 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 2: it because I was really interested to hear his opinion. 126 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: He's a very he's a tough critic. He loves hip hop. 127 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 2: He actually performs and writes songs and raps himself. 128 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: Of course he does. Yes. 129 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: His stage name is rain Jeju Hilary now Rain Rain. 130 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: I'm very proud he's writing music right now, new music. 131 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: Lookout Rain DTB on SoundCloud. But I wanted to get 132 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 2: his opinion. He's young, he's very entrenched in what's going 133 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: on in Atlanta with the BLM movement and politics and 134 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: all of that. You know what, he hated it. He 135 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: hated Hamilton and he had one very specific reason why. 136 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: He said, of all the stories you can tell with 137 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: that many black and brown artists and hip hop itself, 138 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: the art form that was founded by black poets, artist freestylers, 139 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: spoken word artists in the sound box, like, how do 140 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: you take that art form and then use it to 141 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: lift up the stories of white men who played such 142 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: a massive role in proliferating slavery at the founding of 143 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: our nation. And he just couldn't get beyond that. He 144 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: couldn't get beyond the fact that he was his hip hop, 145 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: which he loves was being used to tell the stories 146 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: of these white guys who own slaves. And yes, Hamilton 147 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: mentioned slaves in a couple of It mentions the fact 148 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: that Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. It mentions the fact that 149 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: George Washington actually does it. I'm not really I don't 150 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: remember if it mentions Washington's the Washington the fact that 151 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: he owned slaves until his death. He emancipated his slaves 152 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: in his will. So generous of him. Wait until I 153 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: don't need you anymore and then y'all can get out 154 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: of here. So he really took issue with that, and 155 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: he's not the only one. People are really critically looking 156 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: at Hamilton, And you know, my little brother was like, 157 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 2: it just kind of felt like the Obama version of 158 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 2: a hip hop musical. And it hurts my heart that 159 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 2: he's so cynical about Obama. I'm gonna help him get 160 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: to the other side. But you know a lot of 161 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: people criticize Obama. Did he do enough for Black Americans? 162 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: Shouldn't he have done more for criminal justice reform? Shouldn't 163 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: he have done this? Or that? Wasn't like the pressure 164 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: is so real the first black president, he was never 165 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: going to be good enough and he was damn near perfect, 166 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: you know, in everything he did, this same thing is 167 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: happening to Hamilton. I think it is one of it 168 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: is such a huge cultural touchdone. It's all these black 169 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: and brown actors, singers, dancers, written by a Puerto Rican composer. It's, 170 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: you know, about an immigrant story at its heart, and 171 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: people are just kind of they're really tearing it apart. 172 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: They're wanting these Founding Fathers heads on a spike. And 173 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: I completely see it. But it's just a very it's 174 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: a very interesting debate right now, and I'm actually it 175 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: makes me like, in a strange way, it makes me 176 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: like Hamilton more. 177 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: But because also too, I mean, I think it's art. 178 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: It's meant to be debated. It's meant to be torn 179 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: apart and looked at and put back together and torn 180 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: apart and looked at. So I think that all the 181 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: opinions are valid. I think that would we be talking 182 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: about Hamilton had he not done a hip hop story 183 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: about the Founding Fathers now, if he had done a 184 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: hip hop a musical about the start of hip hop, 185 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean. So it's almost 186 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: like the thing you criticize is also the reason why 187 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: you're able to criticize it. So, you know, I just 188 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: feel like it's art. It's meant to be you know, 189 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: we're not talking about you know, I don't know, like 190 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: it's art is subjective and so you know, it's meant 191 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: to be critically looked at, and especially because there's some 192 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: things like for example, like I mean, even though it's 193 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: not the same as Hamilton, but thinking about like I 194 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: used to love Martin the show, but if I were 195 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: to watch it now. 196 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: I create March. 197 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: Well, you could create because some of the jokes you're like, yeah, 198 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: like so and that's and that's okay. You know, things 199 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: that we're okay then are not necessarily okay now that 200 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: certain things don't age well, some things stand the test 201 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: of time. And I think it is what it is. 202 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I don't think that anyone 203 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: can dismantle, you know, what Hamilton brought to the table. 204 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: I think that you know that this only also puts 205 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: Hamilton cements its place in history and these types of conversations. 206 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: So so now you make me curious to watch it, 207 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: so I shall. 208 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: I'd love to hear what you think about it. Just 209 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: anyone who hasn't seen it yet, and it's very different. 210 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a beautiful experience on the screen. In fact, 211 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 2: it's the best scene in the house. We weren't even 212 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: that close to the stage. They have the angles. It 213 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: feels cinematic. It's beautiful. But I'm very curious to hear 214 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: your thoughts because I did see it in twenty sixteen 215 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 2: and now I'm seeing it today. I still love it, 216 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: and I don't take anything away from lind Man and 217 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: wil Miranda. He is a Latino man who has been 218 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 2: through his own grit and determination and his talent has 219 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: clawed his way to the top and has taken people 220 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: with him. He has catapulted the careers of so many 221 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 2: unknown Broadway actors, rappers, actresses, people who had been Broadway 222 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: stars but hadn't crossed over yet because there just weren't 223 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: enough opportunities for them to share their talents and meaningful 224 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: roles on Broadway. And he gave them they He gave 225 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: them a voice in the musical that he didn't have 226 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: to give them a voice in. No one would have said, oh, hey, 227 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: Alexander Hamilton, play okay cool, everyone's white. Yeah sounds about right. 228 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: But he cast. He did color blind casting, and he 229 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: you know, he says he had to one because those 230 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 2: are the people that he knows. And also because he's 231 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: doing a rap hip hop musical, So what's he gonna do, Like, 232 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: how can he cast? It would just be ridiculous to 233 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: test anyone other than artists who can be true to 234 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: that art form. And that is what I've been advocating for, 235 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: you know, the past couple of shows, just talking about 236 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: how if you're given a piece of power, do your 237 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 2: best to make things a little bit better, you know 238 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 2: than what you found it. Maybe you like, you're no 239 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 2: sure he could have done a better job, you know, 240 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: ripping apart these characters for the role that they played 241 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 2: in the slave trade and how they fought for freedom 242 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: and liberties that did not apply to everyone, despite the 243 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: words in their own constitution. 244 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: But he forced us. 245 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: To look at it through the lens of black and 246 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: brown voices, and it almost to me it is a 247 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: huge middle finger to the founding fathers because like, screw 248 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: you guys, look at us now, we are here, thank 249 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 2: you for this nation. We're taking it back now. We 250 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: are at the center of the story. Even though you 251 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: would have preferred that we were in the background the 252 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 2: whole time we are in this We're taking back the narrative. 253 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 2: That's one of the key lines from Hamilton. I'm trying 254 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: not to get too on my soapbox about it, because 255 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: I am pretty it's in my blood the show and 256 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: the themes in it. But we're taking back the narrative. 257 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 2: It's in our hands. Who lives, who dies? Who tells 258 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: our story? We do we can, and if you don't 259 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: like the way someone tells it you His success means 260 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: that someone else who looks like him or someone different 261 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: will have an easier time telling their story. And I 262 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: promise no more songs, I mean, maybe a little bone. 263 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: Well, speaking of artists and hip hop, I'm just gonna 264 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: say it and then we're gonna leave it and run away. 265 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, say it. I'm ready. I know what you're 266 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 2: gonna say. 267 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: So Kanye Amari West tweeted that he is running for president, 268 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: which is not feasible or possible because he did not 269 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: do the proper filings to do so. So I don't 270 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: know why he tweeted this attention that's not true. I 271 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: do know why. Attention. 272 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can give you a couple of reasons why 273 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 2: gap partnership, new album coming out, or any music he's 274 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 2: promoting attention just yeah, you know, all the dead black 275 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: bodies and our ridiculous president. We're just taking in the pandemic. 276 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: We're just taking a little bit too much. So Kanye 277 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: needed to like ease on in there to Twitter and 278 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: take a little piece of that spotlight away. 279 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: Yes, so just we've said it, he's you know, he's 280 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: not obviously running so but it was just very Kanye, 281 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: very Kanye, Yes, very Kanye. Speaking of Kanye actually did 282 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: like so I did a like a someone said it 283 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: was a rant, but whatever I did like a.

No, I don't know 285 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: what they call like us ig TV channel anyway, but 286 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: where I talked about race in finance. And it's so 287 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: funny because one of the companies that I was like mentioning, 288 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: they actually emailed me today. 289 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: This was recent I missed a Tiffany rant.

Because oh you know 310 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: why I came up because someone who interviewed and asked 311 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: me this. It was maybe forms or SEEINGBCEE. Somebody asked me, 312 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: did I think that they had been interviewing some financial 313 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: educators and experts whatever, some of whom believe that race 314 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: and money should not be talked about together two separate things. Like, 315 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: for example, someone told me I've not heard this to 316 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: be true, but someone told me that Dave Ramsey said 317 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: money is not black or white, it's green. That there's 318 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: no place for race and money. And I'm like, well, 319 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: how white of you. That's so cute that you can 320 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: live like that. What the hell is he talking about 321 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: if he said that, because that's just not Yeah, So, 322 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: not only is there a gender gap, there's a it's 323 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: exacerbated by your race. It's you know, how much you make, 324 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: how much you spend, Like my owner's insurance is influenced 325 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: by where I live because of the races oft people 326 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: that I live here. We'll talk about later on in 327 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: the show about you know, we've already talked about appraisals, 328 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: but we have like this like update to talk about that. 329 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I cannot personally separate my race from the 330 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: way I have to navigate with my money. 331 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: And that's the definition of privilege. 332 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: I mean literally, I mean I'm to do that. I 333 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: would love to not do that. I mean what I 334 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: would love to be like, Hey, nobody cares about what 335 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: color you are if this is how much you make, 336 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: because this is what you're owed, you know, and this 337 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: is how much you this thing costs, because that's just 338 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: how much it costs. I don't have the privilege of 339 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: being able to separate the two. So when she told 340 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: me that a bunch of financial educators, you know, that 341 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: she'd interviewed, like I said, I can't remember what it 342 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 1: was like Forbes or Time or something like that, I 343 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I can almost guarante you what they 344 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: look like because they don't have to consider that, you know, 345 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: I don't. 346 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: I don't have irresponsible reporting if those are the sources 347 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 2: you're going to use in a story like this. 348 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: No, well, I think that she wanted the story was 349 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: about race and finance and to see what a financial 350 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: educators think. So I think she wanted to pull out, 351 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: Like so what do you think, Tiffany, And I was like, 352 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: I think I don't have a choice. You know, that's 353 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: like saying, you know, separating you know, my my gender. 354 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: You know, like there are certain things that just it's 355 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: ingrained in the system. We know that, and may get 356 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: paid less. I mean, should it be can it be changed? Absolutely, 357 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: but it's still a thing that I can't pull out, 358 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, Like I would love to pull that out 359 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: that I would love to know that as an influencer 360 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: or an educator whatever, that I'm paid the same despite 361 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: the fact that me being a woman and then being 362 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: a being a black woman on top of that. So 363 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: I just thought that was so I did a whole 364 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: because of that interview and maybe it just put me 365 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: in a state of mind to do like a talk 366 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: and a rant. And you can certainly tune in and listen, 367 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: but I wanted to take like a veer to the left. 368 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: So I wanted you actually just as good, right, I 369 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: want to your advice man drugs. I feel like you 370 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: are good with whether or not because I tend to 371 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: lean on not saying when something is not right, and 372 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: I feel like you're more of a better gauge. So 373 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: I use a service. Well, it was a product that 374 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: I order handmade beautiful, but the young woman who was black, 375 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: who was delivering these products to me, it has been challenging. 376 00:18:59,040 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: Everything has been. 377 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 2: Late, so much pressure on black owned business. 378 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: I know perfect, So I know.

So like the 419 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: other stuff, the surface feedback I've already given, but the 420 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: deeper feedback, what say you, Mandra, Is that appriate? 421 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: Is it appropriate? I don't know appropriate. I think it's 422 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 2: generous of you. I think it is. Yeah, I'll use 423 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: the word generous because at a time where people are 424 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: so quick to shame people on the internet before they 425 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: give them a chance to respond, you know, and I'm 426 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: talking about Yelp reviews, Google reviews. When you go to 427 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 2: a restaurant or you you know, get a plumber that 428 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 2: has poor worksmanship, and instead of going directly to them 429 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 2: and giving them a chance to make things right, you 430 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 2: go immediately and blast them on a review platform. I 431 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: think it's very generous of you to give her that 432 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 2: feedback one to one and very mature. Whether or not 433 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: she receives it is up to her. Whether or not 434 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 2: she takes it and is gracious about it is up 435 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: to her. That's why I'm like, get your goods first 436 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 2: and then give the feedback. 437 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: So you thinks should you think I should give the 438 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: feedback even if she has think you should? 439 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: If you want to do, I think it's your responsibility. No, 440 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 2: I think that her poor management of her business will 441 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 2: be the lesson that she needs in terms of, you know, 442 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 2: whether or not she'll succeed. But that's why I'm saying 443 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: it's generous of you. And I also think that you're 444 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 2: in a position where, I mean, you've talked in the 445 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: show about how you've had your fairy godmothers who have 446 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 2: given you advice when you didn't ask for it, or 447 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 2: even when you did ask for it, And you know, 448 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: maybe you could be that for someone else, but they 449 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: need to be ready to receive it. I can't. And 450 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: because you don't know her, you can't speak to her maturity, 451 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: and she may take it as an insult. But if 452 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: she's smart and mature, she will say, Wow, this person 453 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 2: has poured into me a little bit of knowledge. I 454 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 2: just don't. I mean, based on the fact that she 455 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 2: hasn't owned up to her own pens management, I would 456 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 2: err on this. I kind of feel like, maybe she's 457 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 2: not so mature, but she's what kind of product is it? 458 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: Like an artistic product or like a numbers and finance 459 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 2: type of I mean. 460 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: Like artistic, just because I want to keep it light, 461 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: because I feel like enough people follow me that they're. 462 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 2: Like, what are you know artists who run their own business, 463 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 2: that's problematic. But I also feel like they're often in 464 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 2: a position where they want to focus on the art 465 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 2: and the business side of things. Maybe they don't have 466 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 2: the resources to handle it. So I think it's very 467 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 2: generous and nice of you to offer that feedback and 468 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 2: to not have made a big stink about it so far. 469 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I guess it's here's the thing. The finished 470 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: product beautiful. That's not the issue. The art itself is amazing, 471 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: but yeah, I just it's like, I'm like, I want 472 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: to see you when this and the thing.

Did it help, did it hurt? 547 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 2: Did you miss the show and you did it a 548 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: different way? Follow up with us, especially those of you 549 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: who have you know, really important, big financial choices that 550 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 2: you're asking us for insights on. So we have a 551 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 2: couple of let's let's catch up with a couple of 552 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 2: our listeners. So one of the one of the couple 553 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: that reached out to us. Let's see, So if you 554 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 2: remember a few shows ago, this woman she reached out. 555 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: She wanted to be anonymous, and she asked, us, you know, 556 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 2: it's a pandemic right now. I'm up for a job, 557 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 2: and I know that I'm not being offered the same 558 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: as someone else who's worked there before. Do I have 559 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 2: is it? Is it okay for me to negotiate essentially? 560 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 2: And you can guess our answer. It was very emphatically like, yes, 561 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 2: ask what you're worth. So she reached out last week 562 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: and she said, I just wanted to give y'all an update. 563 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 2: I was offered the position with more money, and I 564 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: still negotiated. My total raise was ten thousand dollars in 565 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 2: the middle of a pandemic. 566 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 3: Can you believe this? 567 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 2: All these explanation, importance and question marks. I couldn't thank 568 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: y'all more for your advice. 569 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: I love it. 570 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 2: Congrats to you, honey, because you I mean, if listen, 571 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 2: a pandemic does I Like we said on the show, 572 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: I get that it makes it harder to recruit. It 573 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 2: makes it harder for you to feel like, oh, you know, 574 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: they're my only option, there's not much else out there. 575 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: But it goes the other way, honey, like it's hard 576 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 2: for managers to recruit right now too, because they don't 577 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: have the budgets to recruit and hire a whole new person. 578 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 2: And this sounds like an internal promotion. It's probably a 579 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: lot easier to give you a raise than it is 580 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: for them to spend time and money going out there 581 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: and recruiting a whole new hire who they're going to 582 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 2: have to pay a lot more to poach. So I 583 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 2: think this is fabulous and I'm glad you stub for yourself. 584 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: Yes, that's awesome. I love hearing that. So just there's 585 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: no excuses, you know, if you deliver, you and you're 586 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: able to illustrate the value to deliver. You know, there 587 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: are coins available, but it might not be that particular company, 588 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: but there's somebody has the coins for you, so go 589 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: collect them. They belong to. 590 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,479 Speaker 2: You one thousand percent our next. This isn't someone we 591 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 2: answered a question for it, but she was really touched 592 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: by Tiffany. You know you shared your story about the 593 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: drama triangle, Yes, oh okay, and drama triangle reminding and 594 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: this is this is. 595 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: The this is the emotional cattern. Yes, that I enter 596 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: into where it's like I'm the rescuer I do all things. 597 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: I do all the things, do all things to where 598 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: I feel overwhelmed for someone, and then I become the victim. 599 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: This person's take advantage, They've taken advantage, and then I 600 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: get to a point where I've had my fill full 601 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: of victimhood, and then I become the persecutor. This person 602 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: is terrible. So I enter into that triangle over and 603 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: over and so many of my relationships, and it's a 604 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: pattern that I have that I'm observing and going to 605 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: break if I want to do and be better. So 606 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: that's all. 607 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, beautiful our listener from who send us some on 608 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: the Graham Jaqueline. She says, thank you so much, Tiffany 609 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: for sharing. But the drama triangle. I've been going through 610 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: some issues with the family member for a while. Now 611 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 2: I've been learning how to set boundaries with her because 612 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: I realized I never have I always said yes to 613 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: this person. Now she's reacting to me negatively because I 614 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: am setting boundaries. I felt bad for doing this at first, 615 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 2: but now this is a confirmation to be that I 616 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: need to continue setting boundaries like you. I didn't know 617 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 2: there was a name for it, so thank you. This 618 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: has opened my eyes so much. 619 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. So many. If you find yourself to 620 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: be like you know, let's just say you would describe 621 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: yourself as an overgiver, you know, and you find yourself 622 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: tired all the time or feeling kind of taken advantage of, 623 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: you likely are participating in the drama triangle. So do 624 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: your googles, you know, watch a video on it so 625 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: you could be like, oh, so the key is. I 626 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: actually was talking to one of my friends about it 627 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: today because she wanted to write this whole long letter 628 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: to a cousin of hers because she felt super taken 629 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: advantage of. So I was asking her to give me examples, 630 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: and I said, She's like, well, I let her in 631 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: my dress and my jewelry and this and this and this. 632 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: I said, does she come to your room and take 633 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: it it'? She's like no, I said, so, when she 634 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 1: didn't give you back her dress, did you lend her 635 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: the necklace? When you lend her the dress, no necklace? 636 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: At a different time, I said, well, when she didn't 637 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: give you back her dress in your necklace, when did 638 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: you lend her the earrings or after that? So is 639 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: she really a taker or just a receiver? Without you 640 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: see what I mean. So I had to really look 641 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: at myself and say, oh, a lot of what I 642 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: am categorizing as this person is taking unless they really 643 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: did come and take these things from me. Because some 644 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: people are are you know, are like that malicious in 645 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: their taking? Or is this person just an endless receiver? 646 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: Because we have people in our lives that are good 647 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: at setting boundaries for themselves. So my husband, although I'm 648 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,239 Speaker 1: an uber giver, he sets a boundary that says, when 649 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: Tiffany gets to hear, I stop her. So that's why 650 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: we have such a great relationship because he is not 651 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: a bottomless pit of receiving. But a lot of people are. 652 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: They're not taking, They're just like, well, Tiffany is an adult. 653 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: If it's too much, she will stop. If she doesn't stop, 654 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: I'll say I'll get taken or I'll keep receiving. So 655 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, so I'm learning through business coaching AKA 656 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: Like it's like, honestly, it's therapy. Is that not to 657 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: I won if I'm not giving from the light. So 658 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: you can give from the light side or give from 659 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: the shadow side, giving some of the light side of 660 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: when you're really just giving, because giving brings you joy, 661 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: like when I do something for my nieces and my nephew, like, 662 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I love doing stuff for them. I'm 663 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: not expecting anything. Giving from the shadow side is giving 664 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: with expectation or giving because you're worried about what that 665 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: person will think or feel. So giving from a place 666 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: of fear, and if you do that enough, you build 667 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: up that resentment and then you become the victim, you 668 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,479 Speaker 1: see what I mean. So I was like, oh, so 669 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: I've actually been learning to say no. I literally have 670 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: a list of like things that people are asking me 671 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: to do, and I'm writing no next to them. So 672 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: i can say no because I do so much, not 673 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: because I actually want to do it, but because I'm 674 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: afraid if I don't, what will they say? What will 675 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: they think? That's not really giving, that's performative niceness. 676 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 2: And I didn't like that expressionative niceness. 677 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: And actually I just made that up for myself because 678 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what my business coach called it, but 679 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: he was like, you're not giving from a place of light. 680 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: That's giving from a place of shadow, Tiffany, And I 681 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I'm doing what's called what I call 682 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,479 Speaker 1: performative nicest where I strive to be a nice person. 683 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 1: Well that's not true. I do, but I also strive 684 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: to appeer to be a nice person. You see the distinction, Like, yes, 685 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: I want to be nice, of course, but I'm like, 686 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: I really really want people to think I'm nice, So 687 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: even when I'm not feeling nice, I will act nice 688 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: so people can be pleased with me. And it's a 689 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: habit that I've learned. I mean I can kind of 690 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: like trace it back to like this time in like 691 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: seventh grade, when I just I had no friends, and 692 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: it was. 693 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 2: A everything is to seventh grade, I mean, you just 694 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 2: go on back to middle school. 695 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: It was so I learned to be overly pleasing in 696 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: middle school in an effort to make friends. And it worked, Tiffany, 697 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: if you do people's homework, if you help them out, 698 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: if you do this, if you this it, you're funny, 699 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: you're this is all the things. And it was like, 700 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I have friends again. And so I 701 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: took that lesson which worked then, and I've continued to 702 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: relive that over and over and over and over again, 703 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: where I'm like, well, it's important that people think you're nice. 704 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: It's important that people are happy with you even if 705 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: you are not wanting to do the thing. They cannot 706 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: know you don't want to do the thing, because then 707 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna say Tiffany's not nice, you know. And I'm like, oh, 708 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: and he said, so, what's the worst thing if someone 709 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: thinks that you're not nice? I'm like, I don't know. 710 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: So that's the question I have to answer for myself. 711 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: So most people, if I say I can't do a thing, 712 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: are fine. Most people are like, you know, hey, Mandy, 713 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: can we tape on Tuesday instead of Wednesday? And sure, 714 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: that's most people. There are gonna be a handful of 715 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: people who are gonna be you know what, No, I 716 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: don't know, you know. But the truth is most people 717 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: don't care when I say no, you know, not no, 718 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 1: like no, but like, oh, you know. Unfortunately I'm not 719 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: able to participate in that. In that webinar, most people 720 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: are like, okay, well thanks for considering. So I'm like, 721 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: this is what you're afraid of the Okay, thanks for considering. 722 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: Like I said, I it's something I'm trying. It's a 723 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: pattern I'm trying to unlearn because I don't want to 724 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: be performative nice because it's a miserable place to be 725 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: because I find myself doing things that I really don't 726 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: want to do because I'm afraid of what you'll think 727 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: of or say, and I want to just be because honestly, 728 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: my regulativity self it's pretty nice. Not I'm not one 729 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 1: hundred percent nice, but regulativity self is a good eighty 730 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: five percent nice. It's like it's okay for fifteen percent 731 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: to be Like, I don't feel like doing it, even 732 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: if it's a good thing, because that's why I feel guilty. 733 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: They're like, can you come speak to the homeless shelter 734 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: in you know, New Brunswick. And I'm like, oh my gosh, 735 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: I haven't like slept a full eight hours and like 736 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: three weeks I'm tired. And so although do runs for 737 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: homework shelter homeless shelter is a good thing, I actually 738 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: don't want to do it because I for once I 739 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: want to sleep in. But I'll do it because I 740 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: can't say no, I'm a homeless shelter. I'm terrible if 741 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: I don't, and then I get sick the next week 742 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: and then you know, so it's not an easy thing. 743 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: So I just I encourage all of you supergivers to 744 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: really ask yourself, are you just performing your kindness and 745 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: performing your niceness? Are you giving from a place of 746 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: shadow or from a place of light? And you really 747 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: want to make sure that when you are giving, that 748 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: that you're you're getting the return from the give, so 749 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: meaning that like I'm if I'm doing something nice that 750 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: I know, I'm like, my friend was sick, so I 751 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: sent them vitamins, so like, there's this vitamin C that 752 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: I really like, So I sent them vitamins. And so 753 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: my return on that investment and sending them vitamins was 754 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: I knew my friend was going to feel better, so 755 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: if I'm waiting, well, so I didn't need anything. So 756 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: my friend ended up like like cash affing me money, 757 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, if you don't keep this money, 758 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: so I sent it back. But if that was the 759 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: reason why I sent the vitamins, so that way they 760 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: can then give me my money back. You know, you're 761 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: looking for like your payout on the back end, and 762 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: you may or may not get it, and that's why 763 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: you feel the sink sense of like being used or 764 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. But that's not really true. So 765 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: really giving with the sense of like, the giving itself 766 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: is the gift that I'm leading. That is the return 767 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: on investment, the fact that you're giving in itself. So 768 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm practicing it so for those So this is a 769 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: little exercise that we can all do together. And this 770 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: is what Zion, my business coach, said, So we're not 771 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: changing the pattern right now. We are going to celebrate 772 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: the awareness. So I have been just my regulativity self still, 773 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: but when it happens, I'm saying, hey, you are perfect. 774 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: You are practicing performative niceness aware. Okay. So that's the 775 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: first step. It's just as you're going through to say 776 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 1: to like put it like a sticky note on it. 777 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: Oh you're doing it again, okay, But to celebrate the awareness, 778 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 1: not to make yourself feel bad in the awareness. It's 779 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: just we're just that way you can start to notice 780 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: your patterns and then I'll learn what's the next step, 781 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: because I don't know. So right now I'm just being like, oh, 782 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: look at you doing it. Girl. You know you don't 783 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,240 Speaker 1: want to do that, okay, but we're celebrating it.

No, I'm not business therapy. I'm in 818 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 2: the psychoanalis kind of therapy. But what I have found 819 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 2: is I was a little insecure about all the boundaries 820 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 2: I was setting. You know, is it keeping me from 821 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 2: relationships that I might have? You know, because I leave 822 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: jobs and I'm not the one who has seventeen or 823 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 2: you know, twenty coworkers that they still catch up with. 824 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 2: I maybe have one or two.

At the end of it, 903 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 2: we received an appraisal result that was so low that 904 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 2: it was laughable. We appraised lower than neighboring home sales 905 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 2: with fewer bathrooms, fewer bedrooms, significantly lower square footage, and 906 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 2: half the land.

I get that and 997 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 2: part of me is like, hell, yeah, Rosemary need thanks 998 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 2: for not hiding your identity. But would they have gotten 999 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 2: more offers on the home? Would they you know, have 1000 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 2: gotten a would their house have appraised for more? Because 1001 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 2: the appraisal came in a little bit lower than what 1002 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 2: their asking price was and we took advantage of that 1003 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 2: and got the house for like I think it was 1004 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,240 Speaker 2: maybe five or ten k cheaper. But was it because 1005 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 2: of their race? Because the neighborhood we're in is not 1006 00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 2: majority white, because there are you know, there is a 1007 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 2: good presentation of minorities, and because they're very clearly a 1008 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,360 Speaker 2: black couple. If you come into their home and you 1009 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,839 Speaker 2: bother to look around, you can see those signs. Yeah, 1010 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 2: and you're storting me a little bit uncomfortable and it 1011 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 2: but I didn't want to see it, and I think 1012 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,880 Speaker 2: even a black woman like me I will. It's like 1013 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 2: you said, we have these moments in our life and 1014 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 2: sometimes to keep moving to keep our good mood going, 1015 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 2: to just keep you know, trying to believe that you 1016 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 2: have possibility in this country that things can work out 1017 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 2: for you because you're different, because you're smarter and you're educated, 1018 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 2: et cetera. You don't want to hear it, and I 1019 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 2: so I'm sorry for even not hearing it. But I 1020 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 2: acknowledge that. 1021 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 1: That there is a black tax. There is a. 1022 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 2: Black tax, one hundred percent. I'm not and I'm not 1023 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 2: immune from it either, No one is. 1024 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like it's just sometimes it's just because 1025 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: you're just like you don't want to be the reason 1026 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 1: why you kind of like, you know, you let it 1027 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,879 Speaker 1: roll because you want to be hopeless. You don't want 1028 00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 1: to tell you there's no because then what's the alternative, 1029 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: the alternative to say there's nothing I could do about it. 1030 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 1: Guess life is just harder for me no matter what, Like, 1031 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: what's the alternative? You know, this is why you have, 1032 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: you know, slaves singing spirituals in cotton fields, because what 1033 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,960 Speaker 1: is the alternative? Do I just lay down and die 1034 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: here or do I hold onto some hope in the future. 1035 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 2: You know, resilience is an act of survival. 1036 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, what is the purpose? Like you know, we just yeah, 1037 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 1: it's like I said, it's hard and hope. 1038 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,239 Speaker 2: I mean, well, one of the really useless time, I 1039 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 2: was reading some of the comments she got, and they're like, oh, 1040 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 2: you should report this to the CFPP or the FTC. 1041 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 2: I am really tired of people putting the onus on 1042 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 2: the victim to report certain behaviors. I get how I mean, 1043 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 2: I get how people are trying to be helpful, but 1044 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 2: I think it is upon us to hold our representatives 1045 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 2: in our states and our local governments and yes on 1046 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 2: Capitol Hill responsible for holding the banks responsible, the lenders, 1047 00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 2: the bad actors, because they have the power. They wrote 1048 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,840 Speaker 2: the law that enacted institutions like the Federal Trade Commission, 1049 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,720 Speaker 2: like the Consumer Financial Protection the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 1050 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 2: Let me say the entire name of that organization, which 1051 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 2: has been systematically dtoothed. Is that the word like d toothed, 1052 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 2: I don't know, ripped apart? Yeah, thanks, I did have 1053 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 2: a big glass of white wine and no dinner, just 1054 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 2: you know, being transparent. Over the past few years, since 1055 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 2: Trump was elected, they have completely cut the CFPB down 1056 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,280 Speaker 2: at the knees, which was an institution that Elizabeth Warren 1057 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 2: herself spearheaded during the Obama administration. Anyway, like, these institutions 1058 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 2: should be the ones that are fighting for us, and 1059 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 2: you need to contact your local representatives and tell them 1060 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 2: your stories because they're the ones who are being paid 1061 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,319 Speaker 2: by our tax dollars, by the way, to defend us. 1062 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 2: And it is not our job to. It is not 1063 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 2: our job to. Unfortunately it has become our job to 1064 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 2: fight and get in the streets and get mad and 1065 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 2: get last. But they should be held accountable and we 1066 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 2: need to vote with these issues in mind. What are 1067 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 2: you doing to promote black homeownership and fair lending practices 1068 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,440 Speaker 2: for black and brown homeowners or home purchasers? Like what 1069 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 2: are you doing for us? We need to ask these 1070 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 2: questions and be cognizant of the power that they hold. 1071 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 1: Honestly, if I was like some tech genius engineer, I 1072 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,760 Speaker 1: would create like some sort of like appraisal gun. 1073 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 2: We're not going to blind appraisal, yes. 1074 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,759 Speaker 1: Exactly where it's like you know how like when you 1075 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 1: go to a store, Like if you've ever bought anything 1076 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: for someone who's like, oh, I'm registered at Target and 1077 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 1: they give you like the that like you like, you know, 1078 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:40,839 Speaker 1: scan all the things that you want to be on 1079 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 1: your thing.

We 1115 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 2: are the ones with the advantage here. Why are we 1116 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 2: pretending like it is really important for this person to 1117 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,920 Speaker 2: figure out what they can get from us. Let's just 1118 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,080 Speaker 2: cut the bullshit and ask people for like, give them 1119 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 2: an offer for what they're worth and be firm in that. 1120 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 2: Like it drives me nuts. That's how I act as 1121 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,319 Speaker 2: a hiring manager, and that is one of the things 1122 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 2: that I'm really pushing my company to change because I'm 1123 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 2: like that as a hiring manager because I know what 1124 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 2: it's like to be on the other side as a 1125 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 2: woman of color and to not know anything about what 1126 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,799 Speaker 2: I'm asking for, what I'm worth because I don't have 1127 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 2: the friends and family who can tell me and help 1128 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 2: me out. But I'm unique. I genuinely feel that in 1129 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,839 Speaker 2: the company and other people should be trained and how 1130 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 2: to do that, and we should. It shouldn't be that hard. 1131 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 2: And I'm fucking tired.

No, it's not, it's not. 1135 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 2: It is on us. The people with power should be 1136 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 2: the ones not abusing it, but using it to create 1137 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,799 Speaker 2: the equality that people deserve. It's on us.

Eventually in the future, I 1156 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 2: imagine myself starting something on my own and to change 1157 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 2: the way businesses operate and operate from this place from 1158 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 2: the beginning, so we don't have to just go and 1159 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 2: learn it later when all of a sudden someone calls 1160 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 2: us out and we get embarrassed. This has to be 1161 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 2: the new norm, one hundred percent. You guys got to vote. 1162 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 2: You got to contact your legislators. They check their email. 1163 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 2: You got to contact them, call them, ask the questions, 1164 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 2: share your stories with them. It's not time. Now is 1165 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 2: the time? Now is the momentum is behind us. We've 1166 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,759 Speaker 2: got to share these stories. And I'm so glad this 1167 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 2: woman has. I don't know how her story ended, but 1168 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,879 Speaker 2: as far as I'm concerned, she has nothing to do. 1169 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,440 Speaker 2: She needs to share her story with her local representatives, 1170 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,360 Speaker 2: and like she did on Facebook, it's getting the story 1171 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 2: out there. Now it's on us who have seen her 1172 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 2: story to amplify her voice and for people in power 1173 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,799 Speaker 2: to do something about it. Not her. She did the 1174 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 2: right thing to do. She got a second opinion, and 1175 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,520 Speaker 2: that is what you can do. That's in your power. 1176 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 2: Your power as a consumer in this system for the 1177 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 2: time being, is to get second I mean, unfortunately it 1178 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 2: costs extra money to get another appraisal, but get multiple appraisals, 1179 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 2: get multiple loan office loan offers, make people negotiate, make 1180 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 2: them compete for your business. That's what you have in 1181 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 2: your control.

If you're not familiar with mister Kaepernick. 1265 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,840 Speaker 1: He is the gentleman that kneeled all throughout the like 1266 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,160 Speaker 1: I think it was like twenty nineteen and maybe even 1267 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:14,439 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, like the NFL eight earlier seventeen, Yes, during 1268 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,840 Speaker 1: the NFL season, and as a result lost his ability 1269 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,960 Speaker 1: to play professional football. I mean he but he started 1270 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,520 Speaker 1: a whole movement and he was like, you know what, 1271 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,520 Speaker 1: you know who doesn't care? Not me, Not that he 1272 01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,080 Speaker 1: didn't care because he loves football, but he was like, 1273 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 1: this means more. He was kneeling to protest police brutality 1274 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,720 Speaker 1: against black people, and they turned into this whole disrespect 1275 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 1: of the flag and other bs said it wasn't but 1276 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 1: as racists are apt to do. Since then, the NFL 1277 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 1: admitted like we were wrong, because you know, black lives 1278 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:45,760 Speaker 1: matter right now is cute, so you know they want 1279 01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:46,400 Speaker 1: to get in line with it. 1280 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 2: Several years later, I will say people excommunicated Colin. He 1281 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 2: was blacklisted, like literally, he lost his spot on his team. 1282 01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 2: He was blue ball. Blue ball. No, that's not the 1283 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 2: expression black ball. This is a bad analogy. He was good, 1284 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 2: it was cut out. Yes, yes, no one wanted him. 1285 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 2: He was toxic, No one wanted to touch him. 1286 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: Yes. 1287 01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 2: For three to four years later, now he's having the 1288 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 2: last last. 1289 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,640 Speaker 1: What I tell you what I loved about Colin is 1290 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 1: despite all that, he was unwavering in his say what 1291 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 1: you want. Black people need to be heard and so 1292 01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,040 Speaker 1: so he just posted I'm excited to announce this historic 1293 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,760 Speaker 1: partnership with Disney across all of its platforms to elevate 1294 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,560 Speaker 1: black and brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers, and to 1295 01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,440 Speaker 1: inspire the youth with compelling and authentic perspectives. I look 1296 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,520 Speaker 1: forward to sharing the docuseries on my life story in 1297 01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 1: addition to so many other cultural impactful projects we're developing. 1298 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,240 Speaker 1: So he has a development deal with Disney to develop 1299 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 1: and black and brown stories, which I'm just like, what, 1300 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 1: So this is what I posted underneath you know, I said, 1301 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 1: this is the literal manifestation of they tried to bury you, 1302 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 1: but didn't realize you were a seed groking, continue to 1303 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 1: bear fruit and bring nourishment back to your people. Okay, 1304 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,439 Speaker 1: So yeah, he's all the things, and I just yeah, 1305 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 1: I just you know, well, here's the thing. It doesn't 1306 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 1: always work out that way. Sometimes you stand up for 1307 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 1: what is right, and you know, you there are no flowers, 1308 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 1: there are no Disney deals for you. And obviously he's 1309 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 1: not doing it for that, because how can you anticipate 1310 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 1: that what's gonna happen. But you know that if you 1311 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:27,440 Speaker 1: can make someone else's life better. But he sacrificed so much, 1312 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 1: and so I've just loved that this is happening, and 1313 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,400 Speaker 1: he's been donating money. I just he has stayed so 1314 01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 1: true in the face of adversity. I honestly, he's goals. Okay, 1315 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:37,240 Speaker 1: he's goals. 1316 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I also saw that Ava DuVernay is doing 1317 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 2: a Netflix series based on his life, based on his 1318 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 2: high school years. I think, so he's really having his 1319 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 2: moment in the sun in the sun. And I got 1320 01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 2: to do a shout out for Ava DuVernay because she 1321 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 2: has always been true to telling black stories and I 1322 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 2: hope that she's also I mean, she she is leaning 1323 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,919 Speaker 2: in and she her voice sounds so hoarse on social media. 1324 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 2: When I hear her speak now, she has never put 1325 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,720 Speaker 2: down the megaphone, never, not once has she not used 1326 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 2: her platform to amplify important voices of color. And I 1327 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 2: love her so much and the fact that they're teaming 1328 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,800 Speaker 2: up together is just beautiful. Love it and shout out 1329 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 2: to Disney. I guess they're trying to make things right 1330 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:18,920 Speaker 2: because you know, for a long time they did not 1331 01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 2: amplifier voices. 1332 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 1: What I'm now, it was like the only Black Disney princess, 1333 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 1: her Princess a frog. But whatever, they have a lot. 1334 01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, I heard that they're doing a Yeah, that's right, 1335 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,720 Speaker 2: Prince and the frog was Princess and the Frog was 1336 01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 2: the only Black Disney princess, right. I mean there hasn't 1337 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,600 Speaker 2: been one since, which is pretty sad. They put my 1338 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,120 Speaker 2: man sterling k Brown and Frozen, but that was very 1339 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 2: MU was after the first one did really well, which is, 1340 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,520 Speaker 2: you know, we got they have work to do like 1341 01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,920 Speaker 2: every other company does. Okay, let me do maya. What 1342 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,120 Speaker 2: was I gonna do again? I forget? Oh my boost, Yes, 1343 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 2: a quick boost finally I've been wait, I haven't forgotten 1344 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 2: about you, Amy Cooper. I don't think America has either thing. 1345 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 2: Thank I was a little concerned because George Floyd happened 1346 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,919 Speaker 2: soon after Amy Cooper. Not that obviously no one's life 1347 01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 2: was taken, But Amy Cooper, she's the woman who called 1348 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 2: the police on a black man in Central Park because 1349 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,480 Speaker 2: he had the audacity to ask her to put a 1350 01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 2: leash on her dog, which is the rule in the park. 1351 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 2: That she was waltzing her behind through with her dog, 1352 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,440 Speaker 2: and she took great offense to the fact that someone 1353 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 2: called her out, and so much so that she called 1354 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 2: nine one one and threatened him. She didn't threaten him 1355 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,160 Speaker 2: with a gun, or with a knife or with the 1356 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 2: actual weapon. She threatened him with his own race. She said, 1357 01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to call the police and tell them there's 1358 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 2: a black man threatening me. Because she knew the power 1359 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,439 Speaker 2: of her words. I don't care what statement she put 1360 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 2: out afterwards. She knew that using his race against him 1361 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 2: was a weapon, and she knew exactly what she was doing. 1362 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,440 Speaker 2: But I wonder she lost her job very soon after 1363 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:54,080 Speaker 2: this news broke She unfortunately, you made the mistake of 1364 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 2: talking to a man who was very renowned in his field, 1365 01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 2: not that he needed to be at all, but he 1366 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:00,920 Speaker 2: had a lot of people come out and support of him, 1367 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 2: and she had her come up. But what mattered to 1368 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,320 Speaker 2: me most was is what she did illegal? And has 1369 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,520 Speaker 2: she been held accountable? And it just came through today, 1370 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,440 Speaker 2: I think or yesterday, that she's been charged officially with 1371 01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,680 Speaker 2: filing a false report with law enforcement, which is like, 1372 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 2: why did it take all this time? I don't know. 1373 01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,400 Speaker 2: It was pretty clear it was a false report. But 1374 01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 2: thank goodness, because this is the accountability that we need, 1375 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 2: and it's something small, very small, that has happened that 1376 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 2: is the right thing. There are obviously bigger things that 1377 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 2: were still waiting for. We're still waiting for accountability for 1378 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 2: the police who killed Brionna Taytlor murdered, murdered, needlessly Breonna 1379 01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 2: Taylor in her home. They still haven't arrested those those killers, 1380 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 2: nor had they arrested the people who killed the cops 1381 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,040 Speaker 2: who killed Rashard Brooks in Atlanta, and so many more. 1382 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 2: But it was one one little piece of today, And. 1383 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,880 Speaker 1: What it does is that it shows people that there 1384 01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 1: are consequences. Because I saw a woman who had done something. 1385 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 1: She cut off a gentleman and he pulled over and 1386 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,040 Speaker 1: she called him. I guess like the N word when 1387 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,520 Speaker 1: she had him off and some other things. So anyway, 1388 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,760 Speaker 1: he gets out and he says, you know, you almost like, 1389 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, almost crushed. So he's taping her, you know, 1390 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,520 Speaker 1: because he almost crashed me. And then you call me 1391 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,080 Speaker 1: the N word and she starts to scream and cry 1392 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 1: and says I'm not a Karen and he's like, ma'am, 1393 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: I just want you. I forget whatever it was he 1394 01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 1: wanted to exchange. I think she's something. I think he 1395 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,880 Speaker 1: wanted to just exchange insurance cards or something like that. 1396 01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,040 Speaker 1: But so, anyway, so people are walking up, and of course, 1397 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,840 Speaker 1: because she's weaponizing her tears, You're like, what are you doing? 1398 01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,800 Speaker 1: Leave her alone. He's like, I don't know if she 1399 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,800 Speaker 1: hit him or clipped him. He's like, I just want her, 1400 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 1: like I am allowed to ask for her insurance card 1401 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,160 Speaker 1: or whatever he wanted. And she's like, he called me 1402 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,520 Speaker 1: the N word. I'm recording because I don't want it 1403 01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 1: to come out that I did something to her and 1404 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,480 Speaker 1: I did not. So she is boohooing and screaming, but 1405 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, I bet she won't screaming when you were 1406 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,479 Speaker 1: calling this man the N word and cutting him off. 1407 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 1: And so It just was hilarious because she was very 1408 01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,880 Speaker 1: well aware of yikes, if this is his the interwebs, 1409 01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 1: this might be the end. So you're on notice, ma'ams 1410 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:08,320 Speaker 1: and missus, so watch your mouth, watch your face because yes, 1411 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, although black people don't. 1412 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 2: Because let's just get all the dirt out front of 1413 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,880 Speaker 2: the rugs of America. Like just really feel comfortable in 1414 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,880 Speaker 2: this Trump America. You could be people. 1415 01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 1: Get you, caught it out, get you. Speaking of which, 1416 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:25,840 Speaker 1: like you know, I try to do my ig of 1417 01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,599 Speaker 1: the of the of the well not try. This has 1418 01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,320 Speaker 1: only been like the third, third, fourth, the. 1419 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 2: Third time the Trump I love this you segment that 1420 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:32,519 Speaker 2: were this mini segment. 1421 01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,920 Speaker 1: Yes, so it's called Gossip of the City. So I 1422 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,000 Speaker 1: think it used to be originally like a gossip site, 1423 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 1: but then they started taping. You know, we have all 1424 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 1: these Karen and Wild videos and or Karen in a 1425 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 1: Wild or Karen instagrams, and Mandy and I were both like, 1426 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how I feel about it, because sometimes 1427 01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,439 Speaker 1: it's like unrequited. You watch it and you're like, okay, 1428 01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,160 Speaker 1: so they did this terrible thing and now we know, 1429 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,680 Speaker 1: So now now what what I like about Gossip of 1430 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,960 Speaker 1: the City is that it pivoted its account and now 1431 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,800 Speaker 1: it posts the ask for help finding this person and 1432 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,640 Speaker 1: then shares that person with the authorities for them to 1433 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:07,880 Speaker 1: either be arrested or shares them with their job, and 1434 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,720 Speaker 1: then post updates like hey, this person was arrested for 1435 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,639 Speaker 1: threatening this person or this person was let go for 1436 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 1: these racial slurs. So it's of all those types of sites, 1437 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 1: of all those types of ig accounts, Gossip of the City. 1438 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 1: It feels like there's a sense of closure there.
