1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: I listened to the Black Guy Who Tips podcast because

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Rod and Karen a heart. The lament was echoed and

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: parried by black professionals across the country. I don't want

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: to be a black writer. I just want to be

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: a writer, stood next to his twin. I'm not a

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: black doctor. I'm just a doctor who happens to be black.

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: The reflex, of course, was one of navigation, a reaction

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: to being battered by generation of Reaganism, to the hostilities

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: and pigeonholing of a white world that felt no hesitation

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: to say to a black person's face that affirmative action

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: is the only reason you have a job, the pressures

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: and demands of the black and the human desire for individuality,

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: the need to strike one's own course. Nevertheless, I cannot

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: recall a single white writer, even among those who earned

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: a living writing primarily about black subjects or issues, lamenting

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: or diluting their whiteness. The navigation reached the same destination.

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Being black was was balast to be shed, and if

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: it could not be shed, it needed to be neutralized.

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods did not invent erasure, but he would become

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: one of his most prominent, important, and tragic practitioners. If

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: OJ felt no social responsibility to the economic and political

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: status of black people, he nevertheless understood the currency that

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: came with being black. Being black made him an American

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: success story, the self made superstar in the white world.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: It made him unique, It made him an aspiration and

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: made him money, increased his commercial and sex appeal. Woods

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: took the extraordinary step of erasing the idea of being

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: black itself. OJ erased black as a political anchor. Tiger

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: did both, first adopting an apolitical posture, then reducing his

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: black heritage altogether by referring to himself as Cablanasian, a

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: composite created during his adolescence to describe what he referred

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: to as his Caucasian, Black, and Asian heritage. In the

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: one industry where black people dominated, the nationwide imagination, the culture,

34
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: and the talent, it superstars actively practiced erasure, avoiding comment

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: on even the most pedestrian of current events, often growing

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: annoyed at even the remotest suggestion of advocating for a

37
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: black concern. Hey, welcome to the Blackout Tests podcast. Your

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: host Rod and Ker and we're live on Saturday morning.

39
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: Ready do Saturday afternoon con ready to do some feedback.

40
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: You'll find us on iTunes, Stitcher, Potomatic search the Blackout

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: Tills leave us five star reviews on those platforms and

42
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: we will read them on the show on iTunes and

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: Stitcher especially. The official weapon of the show is an

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: unofficial sport and bulletball Extreme. And that excerpt was from

45
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: Full Dissidents by Howard Bryant, and it just kind of

46
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: brought up like I'm reading this chapter right now. Well,

47
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: I actually just got done with this chapter. But it's

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: called The Worst Thing in the World, and it's about

49
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: how being black is considered the worst thing in the world.

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: So much is done to avoid just being quote unquote black,

51
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: like not just black, but just being black, like in

52
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: the public consciousness and especially for athletes. And he just

53
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: goes through like some of you know, OJ Tiger Woods. Uh,

54
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting the tennis player's name, but like he just

55
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: goes through some of the keys. Her last name was Keys.

56
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: I can't remember her first name, That's what my bad.

57
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: But yeah, he just Madison Keys. He just goes through

58
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: some of the people, some of the people that have

59
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: like rejected their blackness, Honda or just you know, did

60
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: this thing where it's like, clearly all these black people

61
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: in the world are also living in their fans, and

62
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: they see you and identify with you, and they want to,

63
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, they want to champion you. And then so

64
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: often our black stars are like, well, I'm not black,

65
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm biracial, or I'm not black, I'm oj or I'm

66
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: not black, I'm tablination or you know, like there's like

67
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: and people go, well, they're embracing all of their heritage

68
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like no, It's like, right, well, some black

69
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: people will make that defense of them too, but and

70
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: maybe they feel that way inside that that's what they're

71
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: really doing. But in America, choosing to be black is

72
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: a political choice just as much as choosing not to

73
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: be identified as black as saying you want to be

74
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: something else, because blackness is the thing that people are always

75
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: trying to escape. People do it with their work, right

76
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: It's I don't want to be you know, like you said,

77
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: I want to be a black writer. I'm a writer.

78
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: I just happen to be black, you know, or something

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: like that, because the assumption is there's this equal merit

80
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: and playing field out there, and I happen to be

81
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: excellent at it, and I don't want to just talk

82
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: about or be considered limited to black topics. But you know,

83
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: as he brought up, you never see that with like

84
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: white white people never have to do that. They never

85
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: have to have like a what they called maya, I

86
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: forgils what it's called. But they never have to have

87
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: that moment where they have to come out and be like,

88
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: all right, guys, I know I write for the Source

89
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: and I write about hip hop and a lot of

90
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: you guys consider me a white writer, but I'm not

91
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: a white writer. I'm just a writer who happens to

92
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: be white. They never have to have that moment because

93
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: for them, they get the whiteness gets tops in comps

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: encapsulate everything, It gets to consume everything, talk about everything,

95
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: be an authority on everything, even your blackness. And so

96
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: with black people where it's like we're always trying to

97
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: escape this this weight, and that's dragging us down, and

98
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: that cost comes down to our superstars, our political figures,

99
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: even us individually. You know. So I just love this

100
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: fucking book.

101
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 2: It's so good, and a lot of it truth be told,

102
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: White supremacy has really just fucked everybody else. It's literally

103
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: fucked people up. Even if people are not aware of

104
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: why they do certain things and why they say certain things.

105
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: A lot of it is rooted in white supremacy, because

106
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: that's the only thing that has basically dicked particularly here

107
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: in the United States, and dictated and determined that whiteness

108
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: is over everything, and if you are not white, you

109
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: are less than. If you are not white, I'm questioning

110
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: everything about you. If you if if you bring your

111
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: brown ass over here, you better not make us feel uncomfortable.

112
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: You better not point out your blackness. You better not

113
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 2: tell us that you are different. Even though we're gonna

114
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: let you know every day you're goddamn different. We're gonna

115
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: let you know every day you don't belong here. We're

116
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: gonna remind you the only reason why that you're here

117
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: is because rules that we quote unquote had the compassion

118
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: to pass your way is the only reason why you're

119
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: black ass. Even in the room we're we're gonna let

120
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna remind you about this. And so

121
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: people that are like, I'm black, fuck it. They're the

122
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: ones that get chestised, They are the ones that get

123
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: kicked out of rooms. They are the ones that get limited.

124
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: A lot of the times depend on sports or whatever

125
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: they're doing. There are and particularly if you're the first one,

126
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: you're you're the one that actually is the.

127
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Martyr, the very first one. You're the one that that

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: actually makes people hot.

129
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: Said a lot of times generations after you benefit from

130
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: the first one, and a lot of times people have

131
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: to realize. People want to call a lot of black

132
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: people coons and all this other bullshit when you don't

133
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: realize a lot of them have to deal with a

134
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: lot of shit that we will never have to deal

135
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: with in our lifetime.

136
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm just keep it real. We will never have to

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: deal with certain things.

138
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: Yes we do have racism, Yes we do have oppression,

139
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: Yes we do have white supremacies, and these things directly

140
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: impact us. But there are stories in our lifetime that

141
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: we will never know about black people that did certain things.

142
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: And they might not be the people that there was

143
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: that the world worth that got kicked out. They might

144
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: not be you know, the Tuskee year means they might

145
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: not be these people, But there are other things that

146
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: it calls a shift in our nation.

147
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: And for me, it's very.

148
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: It's like a catch twenty two.

149
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: So I understand both ways, go.

150
00:07:51,840 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: Ahead, okay, And so I understand both ways when it

151
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: comes to that, because you have people that's like, look,

152
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: I just want to be excellent at what I do,

153
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: and I don't want to be forced to talk about

154
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: my race every fucking time I ended a goddamn room.

155
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: I just want to come in here and just be

156
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: excellent at whatever the fuck it is. I don't want

157
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: you constantly asking me questions. I don't want to represent

158
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: the race, don't you know. I just want to be

159
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: whatever it is not going to be. But at the

160
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: same time, you have people going, oh, you look like me.

161
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: You like me.

162
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: You know, I can identify you, I relate to you, you.

163
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: Know, cheering and rooting you on.

164
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: And when you do this, this is slapping a face

165
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: to all all those people out there that are like.

166
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Bitch, what well, they successfully made being black a burden

167
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: to be shed, right, And so that's why you have

168
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: that feeling of people that are like, I don't want

169
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: to have to explain for the race. I don't want

170
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: to have to answer for this. I just want to

171
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: be in this situation. It's why so many people make

172
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: art that's like they want to make art absent the

173
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: trauma of blackness, because to a certain extent, blackness is

174
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: trauma in America. It can't it can't be escaped, you know,

175
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's why you see people crying about

176
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: like there's so many slavery movies when we know you

177
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: can statistically go through each year and find that there

178
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: may be one movie about slavery, maybe many years. Yeah,

179
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: some years there are neuro right, and there's some years

180
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: where there may be one, but no one saw it,

181
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: so it didn't really happen, correct. But the point being, like,

182
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: there's a reason we get triggered by that trauma and

183
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: go back to like the whole world is against us.

184
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: It's terrible. I don't want to see that. And at

185
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: the same time, we don't really support the that those

186
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: visions because we know those things aren't real, you know.

187
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: I like, I love the photograph, but there's a reason

188
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: that photograph didn't pull in Tyler Perry money. You know.

189
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: Everybody claimed they wanted that shit, but they feel it

190
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: feels inauthentic to them that there isn't trauma in there,

191
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: because that blackness isn't like that's not the black experience

192
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: to them, you know, And it's so so I think

193
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: there's this albatross that we're always running from, just always

194
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: hanging over us. And that's one of the things with race,

195
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: And the other thing I would throw in there too

196
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: is America does promote an individualism to everyone. It's how

197
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: capitalism is able to work. It's why people worship billionaires

198
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: and success stories and stuff like this, because it tells

199
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: you like, this person had thing to make it, you know,

200
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: and we do a little less emphasizing of they had

201
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: the structural things to make it, they had the good

202
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: fortune to make it. We you know, we like to

203
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: credit everything, the hard work and all this stuff. So

204
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: in a world where being black is mostly admonished until

205
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: you're successful, and then it's oh my god, you did

206
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: this while being black. And there's two responses to that, right,

207
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: there's you did this while being black people and you

208
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: don't deserve the praise. There's no in between it. So

209
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: it's I think it ends up with a lot of

210
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: us trying to learn not to ourselves and a lot

211
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: of us either shedding that or buying completely into that.

212
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: And he really man like he has a chapter about

213
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: integration them with white society essentially and how how it

214
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: turns our kids like, these are the dreams of our

215
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: ancestors and our parents. Was like, I want to get

216
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: my kid into a school with like white people because

217
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: that's what the resources are. And then my you know,

218
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: and of course you're subjecting them to a different type

219
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: of trauma and violence of being the only Nigger in

220
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: the class. Yes, sir, but you're also low key like

221
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: that that is quote unquote better than some of the

222
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: opportunities left behind in the you know, economically stagnant, you know, politically,

223
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: there's just no resources coming in under resource black communities.

224
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: So okay, we're busting our kids to a violence situation

225
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: to sort of escape blackness once again. But then what

226
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: do we do when we when we with those kids, right,

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: those kids were like, Oh, you're not black, You're insufficiently black,

228
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: you're not connecting enough to your culture. You're not you know,

229
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: you do believe you're a special snowflake. You you know,

230
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: you marry interracially. You like, we we admonished them for

231
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: that and go. You know, even though this was the dream,

232
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: the dream of their parents was to put them on

233
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: a path to integration, to equality, to blending into white

234
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: society and being to experience success, and yet on an

235
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: individual level, we admonished them for essentially their parents' choices

236
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: that put them in those situations, you know. And so

237
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: it's just it's just such a it's such a great

238
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: book and it's short, but he really thought of he's

239
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: getting so much in their power for power. Howard Bryant

240
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: is is really really fucking smart.

241
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: And I will continue to say the word of today

242
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: it all boils down to white pers because that's the

243
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: ship that fucks everybody up. Because statistically, and a lot

244
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: of people that know history about like school and teaching,

245
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: an integration of schools, they will tell you that when

246
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: schools were segregated, a lot of the black teachers actually

247
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: cared about the students and a lot of students actually did.

248
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: Better as far as learning and shit like that.

249
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: They were seen as individual they grew and shit that

250
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: they just didn't have the goddamn funding. And whenever you

251
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: had this separation and this integration, which is which is

252
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: what we wanted, like you say, you fall into this

253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: past where okay, white is better. Okay, that's when the

254
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: money is. That's why I'm putting my kids, That's what

255
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: the resources is. That's why I'm putting my kids. Oh,

256
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 2: I have a choice now, I don't have to send

257
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: my kids to the whole black school. And a lot

258
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: of it ends up making the culture better but also

259
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: hurting the culture accent.

260
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: Well, those same black kids won their experience in trauma

261
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: from these white people. You know, I've talked about this

262
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: before on the show. I was like talking about how

263
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: I needed to learn to have some level of like

264
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: forgiveness and understanding of the plight of those kids because

265
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't one, you know what I mean, Yes, and

266
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: because and I easily could have been one, because I

267
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: was smart. I was putting those academically gifted classes while

268
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I was the only black person. And shit, if it

269
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: wasn't for that hybrid of coming back home to Yorkwood

270
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: every day, you know what I mean. If it wasn't

271
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: for that, I don't know what would have happened to me,

272
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because then I may have

273
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: bought into that shit of whatever. But for me, it

274
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: was like, no, I'm not special. I'm not I'm smart

275
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: because I'm smart, but I'm not individually different from these

276
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: black kids. Because I gotta go right back to that

277
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: neighborhood and get on that bus. And if I got

278
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: to fight a nigga today, I'm gonna have to fight

279
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: a nigga if I, you know, if I try to

280
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: come in here and talk the talk of that I

281
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: talk in this class and bring that back to my neighborhood,

282
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: I'll stand out like a sore thumb. So I have

283
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: to learn to talk languages, my black neighborhood language and

284
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: my white people in ag class language, you know, shit

285
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: like that. And so, and I know I'm not the

286
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: only one in that boat, you know. And maybe at

287
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: such a young age, I could not have possibly known,

288
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: But maybe I politically made that choice of no, I'm black,

289
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm not Rod, I'm not Roderick. I'm not gonna

290
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: come in here and be like, hi, guys, I'm Roderick

291
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: and fuck those niggers, right, I'm not gonna do that.

292
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: So maybe I was making a choice the whole time.

293
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: It just never felt like a choice to me. But

294
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: imagine if I would have made that other choice and

295
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: been like, no, I want to be a really mobile

296
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: I want to get out of that neighborhood and never

297
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: come back. I want to And maybe I would have

298
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: been in there like Okay, how do I get into

299
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: the social circle of these white people whose class I'm in.

300
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: How do I cause these are my classmates too, How

301
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: do I get to go to their parties? How do

302
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: I date these girls that are here? Like, because it

303
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: never really crossed my mind, I you know, to me,

304
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: it never was a decision. But looking back at especially

305
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: at how he broke it down, I'm like, I can

306
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: see how you can easily fall into that, not meaning

307
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: bad or whatever, and then you become hypnotized by this

308
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: like white supremacist structure that your brain is in now

309
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: where you kind of hate yourself, you kind of hate

310
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: your own people. You kind of want to escape the

311
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: hatred of blackness, so you want to distance yourself from

312
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: it and maybe then when you do eventually have to

313
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: come back, because well you eventually do have to come back.

314
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why you're not greeted with that you know,

315
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: that that positivity and community because you haven't built community,

316
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: you haven't really flourished in community, and you know, the

317
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: tithes that bond are a little bit deeper than skin color,

318
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: so you're kind of, you know, out of one world

319
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: and out of the others. Like I said, great book man,

320
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: Full Dissidence by Howard Bryan. I really can't recommend it enough.

321
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm only about halfway through, but he's just he's just

322
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: nailing it.

323
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: And also I think for me, like you said, I

324
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: had to learn how to be more understanding to that too,

325
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: because like for me, I don't know, I guess it's

326
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: a quote unquote privilege was black and I was reminded

327
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: my black ass was black all the time, so there

328
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: was no question, there was no identity crisis. But I

329
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: also didn't grow up in like a mixed household. I

330
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: didn't grow up around a lot of white people. So

331
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: for me, I didn't I never really had that outside influence.

332
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: When I interacted with white people. It was in a

333
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: school interaction, you know what I mean, school environment, you know,

334
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 2: and so it was always a quote unquote while all

335
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: of separation, and I had, you know, niggas around me

336
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: that you know, watch out for them, black white folks,

337
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: you know, and shit like that, you know, and they

338
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 2: dealt with real racism and shit like that. So you know,

339
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: the the trust and all that stuff was not the same.

340
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: And so it's not a fact that I didn't trust

341
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 2: white people. I was like, okay, I know, white people exist,

342
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: but you know, I'm like they.

343
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Cold, you know, And for me, I'm.

344
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: I never really bought into the color blind thing because

345
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: I was always reminded of my color.

346
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: So our city has allowed us that though that's true, Tue,

347
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: we live in a very we live in a pretty

348
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: black city. You know, we would have been up in

349
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: fucking like Oregon or somewhere like you know, maybe you

350
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: have a black enclave that's a couple of blocks or

351
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: a couple of miles and neighborhoods, but it's not the same,

352
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like like we definitely, you know,

353
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: have we had black mayors and black you know, like

354
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: it was a little bit different, not that we were

355
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: some type of mecca, but just that even that is,

356
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: like you said, it almost feels like a privilege. That right,

357
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: you didn't have to worry because I never had an

358
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: identity crisis like that.

359
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: No, And that's why I couldn't kind of relate or understood,

360
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 2: like like it took me keeping reevaluating, almost like I

361
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: took my life experience and was like, well, everybody had

362
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: this life experience, and I found out that it's not true.

363
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: Statement.

364
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: I also had to check myself and ask myself, why

365
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: do I get upset when these people come out and

366
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: they'd be like, well, you know, I'm I'm shocked, do

367
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: I'm surprised? So I'm upon and I'm like, well, nigga,

368
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: you're black, you know, like like like I had to

369
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 2: get out of that immediately judging them and acting like

370
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: something it was a default in them for feeling that way.

371
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: Now I'm like, oh, okay, I understand how you feel

372
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: that way. I understand why you got to that conclusion.

373
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: Like I completely understand that. And like you said, it's

374
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: a form of a privilege that I didn't realize it

375
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 2: was a privilege, but it was a form of a

376
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: privilege going no, I'm black. I didn't have to go

377
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: through what race am I.

378
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: There's such a sense of betrayal when a black person

379
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: chooses to not be black, right because you know, legally

380
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: the laws never allowed that, and societally it's not truly allowed.

381
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: So the rejection feeling is the feeling that we're all

382
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: afraid of it. So what I you know, like, you know,

383
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: it's easy to point out Tiger Woods or Madison Keys

384
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: or somebody like it's easy to be like, damn that

385
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: really hurt watching this person essentially turn their back on

386
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: black people. I'm not one of.

387
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: Y'all, and I think that's what it was. It was

388
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: that pain that made me have this feeling.

389
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: Like same for me. And I think when uh, this

390
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: book goes through kind of like, well, a lot of

391
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: these kids and a lot of these choices were the dream, right,

392
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: So this was the dream of many of our ancestors

393
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: and ship, And when you look at it that way,

394
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: it's all it's for me, It's it's kind of I mean,

395
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: I've been this way for a while, but I have

396
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: empathy for those people because it's like, damn, you're you're

397
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: fucked up and in denial of the realness of this ship.

398
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: And you know, within a certain level, I'm to me,

399
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: it's easy to understand and forgive to a certain level.

400
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about like these full blown Republicans, the

401
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: people people.

402
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about about people they still have compassion for.

403
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: There's some black people that just don't get it, or

404
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: they don't get it yet, you know. I remember once

405
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: we had a person on our show, Danny, and we

406
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: were talking about some topic about either race or police

407
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: or something, and it was when we did a live

408
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: show with Shadow Dog and she was going into these

409
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: answers about like, you know, cause she was raised and

410
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: like it sounded like she was raised mostly by her

411
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: white family for her formative years and then at some

412
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: point they sent her down to be with her black family.

413
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: And I think it sounded to me like they sent

414
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: her down to be her black family because they was

415
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 1: on some like listen, we love you, we white. We

416
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: can't give you the full nutritional like what you need

417
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: as a black woman in this world to survive. We

418
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: can't give you that, and we see that we're not

419
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: preparing you correctly, so we need to send you to

420
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: be with your father's side of the family, especially during

421
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: your teen years, so you can kind have this experience.

422
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: And that was you know, I remember that conversation and

423
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: it's like the room wanted to turn on her like that.

424
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: It's like if the room could have eaten her at

425
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: that time, I felt like the room could have ate her,

426
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: and I wanted And my point was like that response

427
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: of us wanting to turn on her for having this

428
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: different experience from us, and what possible conclusions because she

429
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: possibly have reached from this different experience that was us

430
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: feeling like our own traumas and our own life.

431
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: And the thing is a lot of it is everybody,

432
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: at some way shape form, anybody that's blackness, black, adjacent, brown,

433
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: you know, or other has had some form of trauma

434
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: that have just placed upon them.

435
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: And you don't even realize this trauma.

436
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: Most people just consider it that's just the way life is,

437
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: until something taps on that that bane or trauma, and

438
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: once it does, it comes out really hard, and it

439
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: comes out really harsh, and it's nasty and it's ugly

440
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 2: because sometimes you don't even know what's den and it's

441
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: been tapping, Like the fuck is this? And why do

442
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: I feel this way? Why do I Why am I

443
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: instantly getting angry? Why am I instantly getting mad? Why

444
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 2: does this make me feel like this person has turned

445
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 2: their back on me when actually they haven't. You you

446
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 2: just feel feel that way based off of emotional trauma

447
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 2: from your past. Guess what would you need to address

448
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: which has nothing to do with them?

449
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was anyway, this book is just making

450
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: me think about all those things, and you know, it

451
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: definitely brought up those chapters of just you know, Michael

452
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: Jordan and Michael Jordans and Tiger Woods and you know,

453
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: just all these people Madison Keys, all these people trying

454
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: to like escape and run from the their their blackness.

455
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: And how it was the story. I mean, this was

456
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: the story with Tiger Woods. I remember it was a

457
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: black golfer. And then one day he's just like on

458
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 1: cavalin Asian, and it's like this extra feeling of just

459
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: like damn, like you slapped us in the face, like

460
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: you you don't want us, And the only and the

461
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: only thing you're gonna get from white people is not acceptance.

462
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna get money, but you're gonna always be a

463
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: negga to them.

464
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: So that's the part we're like, and I think that's

465
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: the frustrating part, where we're like, we want you to

466
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: understand a turn will come, so you may as well

467
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: accept that you're being right.

468
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: And I do wish that on you. I don't know.

469
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 1: I don't want nothing bad to happen to Peo, and

470
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: I used to be more upset about it, but now

471
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: I just feel more sorry about it, Like damn, that's

472
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: really sorry that you still have this internalized shit toun

473
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: to distance yourself from us. But there's something about it

474
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: where like I said, I also understand it now, you

475
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Where they're just running to where

476
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: they want to They want to be respected and seen

477
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: as individuals and all that shit, and they're never going

478
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: to get that because you're not white. You're never gonna

479
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: get it.

480
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: Right, because the machine of white is just in totality,

481
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 2: that's what it does. And it's one of those things

482
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: wherein it consistently does it like it's an equation that

483
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: always kicks out the same answer. You're a nigger, Like

484
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, no matter what you do,

485
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: no matter what, no matter how much you divide, multiply,

486
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: ad what you do, the answer is going to be

487
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: the same.

488
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: And so you know a lot of people have.

489
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: Been through that, and it's almost like we want to

490
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: warn you, Like we were like, we don't care about

491
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: you going up, but we just was like, hey, don't

492
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, don't forget you know, at any time this

493
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: will happened, because if you don't prepare yourself to turn

494
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: is devastating. And also a lot of people they not

495
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: were me and you are what they do they turn

496
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: against these people before they turn against them, and this

497
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: is why they get can you know, a lot of

498
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: times you have black people that turn against people that

499
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: have quote unquote accepted whiteness and kind of separated themselves.

500
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: We turn first, which means.

501
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: We'll say you're not black, we'll call you bedwitch, like

502
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 2: will attack you. But that attack people attacking you is

503
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: that of hurt and pain of.

504
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: You rejecting them.

505
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: So they go, will I reject you before you reject them?

506
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: And so because for a lot of them, they know

507
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: that that's their big fear is not being accepted into

508
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: blackness a lot of them. And so a lot of

509
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: times you have these unnecessary battles that actually don't have

510
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 2: to be there, when actually we are actually here for

511
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: each other. But you have hurt people, hurt people, and

512
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 2: then the hurt people that's already hurting around and.

513
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: Hurt those people too.

514
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 2: And so it's particularly on social media, you have these

515
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: people I'm black, I'm black, and the black I'm black, y'all.

516
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: But that that bitch right there, fuck up, you know,

517
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: and you're like, the fuck is this? Yeah? Always kicking

518
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: someone out of black.

519
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: Right when I don't believe in kicking nobody out of blackness.

520
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: You black, I don't care what happens to you, your

521
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: black experience, whatever you experience is a goddamn black experience. Yeah,

522
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: I just feel like you know that, like they get

523
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: they're just trying to explain away or at least achieve.

524
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: That same level of respect, but you know you can't.

525
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: It's essentially you're a special nigger and then you're just

526
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: a nigger. That's it. They're not and it's not and

527
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: they all It's like I feel like there's a resentment

528
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: aim that comes down on black culture like we did that.

529
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: We didn't do shit, you know, like oh, like there's

530
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: a like we didn't make none of the one drop

531
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 1: rule laws or any of a thing. But it's like

532
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: the resentment isn't fully focused and thought through because a

533
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: lot of the resentment is on us. It's on well,

534
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: why black people got to see everything? It's black and

535
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: white and shit, and it's like, okay, so you're into

536
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: now and now you gotta be Tiger Woods, like you

537
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: gotta be the next person, you gotta be the OJ

538
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: or the what. You gotta be this person now because

539
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: you don't want to be that. And then the other

540
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: thing too, I think about too with us, especially with

541
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: our show. You know, it's why I don't really get

542
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: too hyped up about like, you know, and then this

543
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: TV network's gonna make us do this, or this radio

544
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: station or this podcast network is gonna try to get

545
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: with us. I don't really worry about that shit because

546
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: we have choked. We made a political choice to be

547
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: a black show, you know, and it's and there's no

548
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: if ans or butts around it. People search our find

549
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: our podcasts, are putting black podcasts in Googling iTunes, there

550
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: is no And we don't make the black show for

551
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: white people. We don't do the you know, I'm just

552
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: a quirky black guy and you know, you can feel

553
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: any way you want to about this. No, we don't

554
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: do that, and that is gonna always kind of limit us,

555
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: you know.

556
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: So, and that's a choice that we made and we

557
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: are comfortable in making that decision.

558
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Right, So got to live with it. Right. Butterfly in

00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: my son is becoming a marine, I have his phone

616
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: and I'm giving all my favorite podcasts five stars. Thanks

617
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: for all the great podcasts over the years. Soon to

618
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: be Military Mom April five stars. Thank you. We appreciate you.

619
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: Shout out to the trust of your mom having your phone.

620
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you must be a good kid, you ain't.

621
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 5: You know?

622
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: It's like I was looking at his phone. What are

623
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: all these picks doing it here?

624
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: You know?

625
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: We got one for the spoil movee reviews. Going premium

626
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: has saved me five stars. Going premium and saved me

627
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: from watching movies that I wouldn't have liked. It has

628
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: allowed me to talk about movies I haven't seen and

629
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: don't plan on seeing to people who think it's the

630
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: best movie ever, and why haven't you seen it? And

631
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm able to recount the movie to them as if

632
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: I have seen it. Have you have great? You have

633
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: great perspective on movies that you don't hate on them,

634
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: but you can find some good in almost everyone. I

635
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: love that about your podcast, April Mix. Thank you, April Apparently. Yeah,

636
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: you know what, man, I don't think I do. Reviews

637
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: are always the most detailed, but I do problem. I

638
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: don't y'all say it every time somebody leaves a review.

639
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: For the four movie Reviews, I feel like our reviews

640
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: are special because we don't just try to shit on

641
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: the movie, right, Like, I try to think of the

642
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: good and I try to think even when I don't

643
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: enjoy some shit, I still try to think of like,

644
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: well I can see someone liking it for this reason.

645
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: Even when I enjoy something, I will try to go

646
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: out of my way to figure like, well, maybe there

647
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: are people that are complaining about this thing or that thing.

648
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: Because I really do find like that balance is important

649
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of the movie reviews I

650
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: listen to just kind of either turn it to a

651
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: roasting the movie or it turns into like a you

652
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: can't say nothing but that this movie is great to

653
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: shut the fuck up thing, And I don't really like

654
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: either one of those things. That's not funny to me.

655
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: What was I thinking five stars about? A few years ago?

656
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: I subscribed to this podcast and at the time, I

657
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: was like, this pot cast was it for me? So

658
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: I unsubscribed, But then I heard about this podcast on

659
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: another podcast, so I gave them another listen and I

660
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: haven't regretted it since then. I love listening to that

661
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: take on current events and really love Rod starcasm, and

662
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: I love when he goes on a quote unquote rant

663
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: and Karen is like, don't listen to him. I can't

664
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: tell them money l L. Give them a listen, and

665
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: I promise you won't regret it. And this is by

666
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: It's I think it's teaching underscore casey, but it's kind

667
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: of spelled with some different letters, so I'm not Henderson Sure, no, p.

668
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: We know we have a complex relationship with some of

669
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: our listeners. This is a lot of people that was like,

670
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: I didn't like y'all at first, but now I love you.

671
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate a good We came back, and we came

672
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: back around. You came around. I appreciate that. Okay, it's

673
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: hard what we do out here, and five stars is

674
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: black blackout to us. This is from Ernest dot com

675
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: who says it's five stars three flame emojis as a

676
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: title and then laughing emoji as the as the review.

677
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: See yes, I mean that, old y'all. You didn't have

678
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: to put no word. Pretty sure you just got the

679
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: record for shortest review of all time. We will take it.

680
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: Three flame emojis and laughing. I mean, who don't speak that?

681
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: Come on, okay, we appreciate it. Let's go to the

682
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: website The Black Guy who Toots dot com where we

683
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: have our episodes and after each episode, as spposed, you

684
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: can leave comments. You can vote in the post all

685
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: that stuff. The feedback episode was easy because we didn't

686
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: have much feedback on the feedback. No comments on twenty

687
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: forty three Monsters in Saints and the pole. No comments

688
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: on the pole. But the poll was have you heard

689
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: the Lil Wayne album yet? Yes or no?

690
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: No?

691
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: Eighty nine percent of the audience have not, an eleven

692
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: percent have heard it. No one left for comments, so

693
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it was not flame emojis. I'm assuming so too.

694
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see a lot of comments. The next episode

695
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: was twenty forty four Big Mama Getaway Driver. We did

696
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: this one with Brandon Commons. DA says question regarding the

697
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: discuss international films, was your guest saying that every voting

698
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: member of the Academy needs to see every film, or

699
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: just that every MPAA film that made it to nomination.

700
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: I and I see several international subtitle films a year,

701
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: and I wanted to be on in the Twitter discussions

702
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: about how many great international subtitle films are until the

703
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: discussions became very elitist and privilege. Now there was one

704
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: person I saw people retweeting who shared a very interview

705
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: of internationality subtitle films or internationally subtitle films. But the

706
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: comments let some other communities catch strays off trying to

707
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: dunk on him. People with real reading difficulties, people who

708
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: have limited incomes, people who work, eat, sleep, and repeat, etc.

709
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: I would have enjoyed those conversations more if it was.

710
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: I am excited people are recognizing international films. You are

711
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: in for a treat, and here's how and where you

712
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: can expand your horizons. Also, I live in metro plex

713
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: of nearly seven million people. I guess metropolis of nearly

714
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: seven million people. And when I saw Parasite, it was

715
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: only playing three areas, all in the artsy, very affluent areas,

716
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: places people tell me feel intimidating. Sometimes those artsy spaces

717
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: are not very welcoming, especially the non whites. But that's

718
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: a lot to think about Dia. I think they played

719
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: in artsy areas here too. They did. It also came

720
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: to Voodoo much faster than other movies. I just bought

721
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: it on Voodoo a few weeks ago. Actually it was out,

722
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: like I think before the oscars were out, you could

723
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: get it on voodoo. But I didn't see the discussions, like, yeah,

724
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm not joking with y'all man when I said I'm

725
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: trying to use social media differently, I'm not joking when

726
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: I say I'm not trying to be involved in these

727
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: movie discussions. I don't want to talk to people about

728
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: the box office no more. I don't want to talk

729
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: to people about ignorant their fan hood, their fan basis,

730
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: and some stuff is just opinion, like for me reading

731
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: subtitles for anime in my house makes me fall asleep.

732
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: I don't know why I fucking love anime. Y'all listen

733
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: to the show. Y'all know I love anime. It's my heart.

734
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: But if it's like if I can't, if I can't

735
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: like hear the dub version, I can't make it through,

736
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: It's like it'll take me forever to watch it, serious,

737
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: cause I'm like watching for ten fifteen minutes, and you know,

738
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: read and read and reading, and I'm just like, oh,

739
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: I'm like waking up, like, wait, when the fuck did

740
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: Naruto do that? You know? So for me, you know,

741
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: that's part of it. Of course, everyone now pretty much

742
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: has add from out their tablets and multitasking, right, and

743
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: a lot.

744
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: Of people they're like, if it ain't if it's something

745
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 2: where I can't immediately get into a daylva to jump

746
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 2: to something else.

747
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: Right, well, just not just that, but even if you're

748
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: into it, if you like look down to tweet something right,

749
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: folde some clothes or some shit, and then next thing

750
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, I don't understand what just happened

751
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: because your brain went on cruise control. You come back

752
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: to and you didn't really understand things so there's that

753
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: extra level of processing there, and then everything you brought

754
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: up about people not having the money limited theaters for

755
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: these releases. So yeah, there could be a lot of

756
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, other issues around it. I think in general, though, Uh,

757
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: that's just what happens on Twitter when someone puts out

758
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: It's like what we talked about on the show with

759
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: that article. Someone puts out that bombastic opinion and it

760
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: doesn't leave a lot of room for discussion, and then

761
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: of course everyone ducks on them, and then some people

762
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: catchtrasing that, and now it's a whole fucking clusterfuck. So

763
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: and then back to Brandon, I don't think Brandon was

764
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: saying they need to see every international film. I think

765
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: he was saying other films nominated, they need to see

766
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: every film period, And why should you get to have

767
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: a vote if you don't even take the time to

768
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: look at all the films that are nominated, you know,

769
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: I think, you know, and which I think is reasonable,

770
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, as a request, but you know that we

771
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: found out in the past. They don't have to do that.

772
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: I know they don't apparently, So was there anything you'll

773
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: go to add?

774
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: Oh, and it's one of those things but it's almost

775
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 2: like a catch twenty two because I'm some of this

776
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: person who's outside of the United States. So I do

777
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 2: understand that feeling. A lot of times it's American elitism going.

778
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: I you know, if I don't know if de lives

779
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: outside of the United States.

780
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: Okay, but whenever you know, these foreign films come to

781
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: the States, and we even said that they want to

782
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: put them in a separate category.

783
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: A lot of times they're hard to see.

784
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 2: You can't get to them, and that's I think that's

785
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: purpose really done so that the masses won't go out

786
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: and see a lot of these actually probably brilliantly made

787
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: movies because they don't have access to them and or

788
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 2: they don't even know they exist.

789
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: Or they don't care, correct, I mean, that's the other thing,

790
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,479
Speaker 1: Like the general public does not have to care about

791
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: the ship. People care about it. I agree. And then

792
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: and on top of that, a lot of times people

793
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: say they care about shit they don't like when you

794
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 1: need an action to meet the all that talking, they're

795
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: not there for that.

796
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: They there to do the talking, right cause, like you said,

797
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 2: a prime example is the photograph this is the ship

798
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 2: that people quote unquote claim they won't. It should have

799
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 2: been it should have fucking ran with the month of February.

800
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: It should have been like, this is the number one

801
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 2: movie all month, Loan. But you know you didn't get that.

802
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: Why because y'all niggas is talking.

803
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: Well, it's Black History Month, it's Valentine's it's now trauma,

804
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: it's you know, black leads, all these things that's supposed

805
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: to just add up to a hit and nah, because

806
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, people talk a good game, but you just

807
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: can't trust these motherfuckers. Make the thing you want to

808
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: make and let niggas get over it, you know, cause

809
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen anyway. All the shit they call traumatic,

810
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: they go see, so you just gotta you just gotta

811
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: live with it and live with their opinions on it.

812
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna be mad. Everything's about us now with social media,

813
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: they gonna be mad. They're gonna be triggered, they're gonna

00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: write to think pieces, they're gonna cancel you all of

00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: that shit, and you know what, at the end of

825
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,520

Speaker 1: Yeah. I will say this though I don't remember if

Speaker 1: it was this episode or later, but I'm gonna go

836
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: ahead and do this while I while I got everybody's

00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:59,439
Speaker 1: attention on Mike Bloomberg. You know, uh, your boy told

838
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: y'all he needs to be in that damn room, in

839
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: that in that in that debate, and against all people's

840
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: wisdom and ship and all this. You know, Uh, we

841
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't let a billionaire buys on stage while they changing

842
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: the rules. And I said, mmmm, this is exactly what

843
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: they need and has to be accountable. They put that

844
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: pigata in the room and they if you guys ever

845
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: seen office space, yes, off of space. They basically off

846
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: his face. This nigga like he was that motherfucking broke

847
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: ass printer or whatever it was. Can tell he wasn't prepared,

848
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: he was not He just broke magna feet. I was

849
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: not even gonna watch the debate. But then when they

850
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: said Bloomberg was and I was like, man, maybe I

851
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: will watch some of it. And we came home from dinner.

852
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: It was just in time for the ship to start. Man,

853
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: I turned that ship off. I said, oh, I'm so

854
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm watching this for two hours. I was so glad

855
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: I turned that TV on.

856
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: And every time Elizabeth Warren spoke, all I her was

857
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 2: to eat the beat.

858
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: She was amazing. Oh she came out swinging, cause I

859
00:44:59,239 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: feel like.

860
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 2: She ain't got nothing news.

861
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: Elizabeth strategically had fucked up from the beginning because she

862
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: had that non aggression pack, and then she also just

863
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: seemed to be like, to me, she was trying to

864
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: play nice, you know, because traditionally how people of view women.

865
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 1: I get why, But she was trying to play nice.

866
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: And while nice was effective to a certain extent, I

867
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: think it was limiting her because when she was out

868
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: there swinging on them fools, oh so much better, so

869
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: much better, and it was.

870
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: The best, and she was out there basically, let me

871
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: tell y'all what this nigga did this?

872
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: Nigga did this, He did this.

873
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: You know he did this too.

874
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: You know, what are you gonna be held those peak?

875
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: I still got small.

876
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 2: I got a checklist over here.

877
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go down to checklist. Why did you speak?

878
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just bloomberg like I said. I actually

879
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: watched the whole thing. And I mean she was letting

880
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: the chopper spray.

881
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 2: All all of them because she already knew this shit.

882
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: It's like, why are you trying to be nice? They

883
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck about you. Well, not just that,

884
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: but like she know she knows that stuff, but then

885
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: she also works it into her point, right, like it's

886
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: not just shit like like people to Jay decided to

887
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: shit on Amy Cloveshar the whole night, but it never

888
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: made sense because it never really had a point to

889
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: what that was germane to the conversation, and it kind

890
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: of came off petty and mean, you know, not that

891
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: Amy klob Shar is a very sympathetic figure. But to me,

892
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: it just came off like, oh, this is such an

893
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: obvious It's so obvious that pieces instructions were if you

894
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: whittle down Amy Klobshar and biding those voters will go

895
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: to you, and that's and that's clearly what he said

896
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: out to do. But it was so transparent and obvious

897
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: it didn't work for me. But Elizabeth Warren was out

898
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: there like, oh yeah, and this motherfucker over here did

899
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: this shit that you know, like, while are we talking

900
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: about this topic? This motherfucker out here is whack on

901
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: this topic. You know. She was so good and she

902
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: seamlessly brings like race, gender, disability, all this stuff just

903
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: into her topics without it feeling like pandering or like

904
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: she's trying to change the topic. She's like, and this

905
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: is how this topic also affects race or this is

906
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: how race affects this topic. So we can't just talk

907
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: about immigration and not talk about this racism and stuff

908
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: like that. So she was great, But you know, when

909
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: you brought up Bloomberg, I knew I had to say

910
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: something because maybe nobody else brings it up the rest

911
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: of the time. I told you, what did I tell you?

912
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: Didn't I tell you cause I told you? And when

913
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: did I tell you a long time ago? And what

914
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: did I say? What happened when I told you exactly

915
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: what just happened should have been took them gloves off this.

916
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: I hope it ain't too late. We had to go

917
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: early vote. I definitely early voted for Elizabeth Warren today,

918
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: So it was like, I like, I hope it ain't

919
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: too late, sis, because that shit was good. I was like, man,

920
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: d she would have been doing this for the whole

921
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: fucking time. Yes, yeah, because the thing is the other

922
00:47:58,880 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: other black woman.

923
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: Did you know the nigros ran Away would have been

924
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 2: done talked about this nigga before he even came on

925
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 2: for a debate.

926
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about Harris's campaign. I don't I

927
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: don't even really like talking about that because people get

928
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: in the weeds or like, well, she ran a terrible

929
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: campaign and all this shit. I don't know about all that.

930
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: I just know niggas motherfuckers really stabbed stabbed her in

931
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: the back, and they turned around, was like, whoo, who

932
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: stabbed her in the back? While I'm holding his knife?

933
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: Like I don't, okay, niggas. Whatever, anyway, let's go to

934
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: Kim doc. I loved your coverage of the Gal snoop catastrophe.

935
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: I do appreciate his apology, but like y'all said, how

936
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: ironic that he wants to talk at private when he

937
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: committed the defense in public. I think he was scared

938
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: to get in a room with her with a camera

939
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: to defend and over the top takedown. Well, he is

940
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: supposedly going on red table talk. You may be on

941
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: top of it, so that's they get the best bookings.

942
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: That's probably the safest sofist spot he can go talk

943
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: to black women and try to do some relationship rehab

944
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: with black women compared to I mean, there's no way

945
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: he could be in a room with Gail King and

946
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: she not eviserate this nigga, so cause, I mean that's

947
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: the thing, man, Black men are gonna excuse it, But

948
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: in general, there is no way for Snoop Dogg to

949
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: be talking about respecting and honoring people in the name

950
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 1: of women and shit. It's just there is no way.

951
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: Like you have to do so much mental gymnastics to

952
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 1: excuse the way he acts and the fact that he's

953
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: the one trying to take offense. You have to do

954
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: a lot like it just takes a lot of like

955
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: giving him a pass that we don't give. We won't

956
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 1: give any woman soever. You know, it's shit. If Vanessa

957
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: Bryant came out and said some sideways shit, that woman

958
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: would go back to being a Mexican and all kinds

959
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: of shit that people would be, you know, they would

960
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,959
Speaker 1: kick her out of this whole nice space so fast

961
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: she said some sideways. So yeah, he just got that

962
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,280
Speaker 1: benefit of being a black man. And so I expect

963
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: that to be kind of the same kind of t

964
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: I thing where they gonna ask him some tough questions,

965
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be wishing and hoping for the best

966
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 1: out of him and giving him, you know, the soft

967
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: landing that he's gonna need. That's my guess. I will

968
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: be watching, though I shudder to say it, but Jordan

969
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: won't be honored in the way we have honored Kobe

970
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 1: again and again. Then again it's warranted. I don't know.

971
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: I go back and forth with it because so it's

972
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: to the point where Lebron would never be the greatest

973
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: Laker now, and I believe that's why he signed with LA.

974
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, it came out. I don't think Lebron signed

975
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: to be the greatest Laker because I don't think it's possible.

976
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: M M. Yeah, like Lebron didn't have enough time in

977
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 1: his career and left to eclipse any of those Lakers.

978
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think his goal was to be the

979
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 2: greatest Laker. I think his goal was to win.

980
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think he wanted to go to LA

981
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: for his business purposes. He's doing movies and stuff now,

982
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: He's doing a whole lot of video production stuff, got

983
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: TV shows and the works, all that stuff, the uninterrupted

984
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: Like he's like, he's making that Mogul move and we

985
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: saw we saw Magic do that before him. We've seen

986
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: Kobe start to do that. So I think that's a

987
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: big part of it. I think the lower playing for

988
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: LA is dope. I think Levin is not necessarily beholden

989
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: to this you gotta play one place your whole career

990
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: and just live in career, live in career, die there. So, uh,

991
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: he was never gonna be the quote unquote greatest Lakers.

992
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: But they'll they'll make that argument of he's the greatest,

993
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: is he the greatest player to ever wear Lakers jersey

994
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, So he'll still be in a

995
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: discussion like that, But as far as what defines a Laker,

996
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: and that was never gonna happen. That being said, though,

997
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: I understand going back and forth on the stuff because

998
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Kobe had a complicated legacy.

999
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 2: Man.

1000
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: People don't like to hear that shit. They want death

1001
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: to be simple and stuff, but it's just not. And uh,

1002
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: people gonna feel how they feel about it, you know.

1003
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: So you know, and I think Jordan, when Jordan passes,

1004
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: it depends on how he passes, but I feel like

1005
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: he will be elevated beyond any player, any in any

1006
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: sport ever, you know, depending on how he goes out.

1007
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,959
Speaker 1: This is just different. This is like when Tupac dies

1008
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: versus when jay Z dies, Like right, the shock of

1009
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: it is part of it that you can't equate. But

1010
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to get off more of

1011
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: it and compare niggas to death, especially when he, you know,

1012
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: George Hill live. So I'm gonna leave it at that.

1013
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: Twenty forty four Big Mama Getaway Driver also had a

1014
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,240
Speaker 1: poll which was is Jesse Smonna let low key noble?

1015
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: Yes or no? No comments? By the way, no people

1016
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 1: agree with Karen Ten percent of y'all say no. I

1017
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: agree with Mande Sills. He was low key noble for

1018
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: what he did. So I wish I would have left

1019
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: a comment to explain that shit. But that's fine, right,

1020
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes like, let me make this vote and

1021
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: get the fuck out of here before I get roasted myself. Yeah, like,

1022
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: I ain't really got a good explanation. So, uh wait,

1023
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: I think Kim Knock says she had another comment. Hold on,

1024
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: I'll try to go back. I only saw I only

1025
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: saw three comments, but maybe it came in during the

1026
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: show or something like that. Uh going back, refreshing, Oh,

1027
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: there is one more comment. Okay, uh oh. I love

1028
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: that Maya married herself. I recall she was rumored in

1029
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: dating a billionaire a few years back. Affirm yourself. Nobody

1030
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: else will when they've deemed you fell off as a

1031
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: celebt and Woo Jesse, I really have no word for

1032
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: as far as talking about the mountain has been now

1033
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: the avalanche is burying him. Yeah, I saw people like

1034
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: kind of clowning the Maya thing, but I don't like,

1035
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: I hate to say it in this dismissive way, but

1036
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: the same way I don't really care when any celebrity

1037
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: gives me. Why would I care that she married herself?

1038
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 1: And from my understanding, it's like promotion for a video

1039
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: and shit. Anyway, Like, I saw people being like, she

1040
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: must be crazy forty years old. That fine, she ain't

1041
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: got no man, I'm like or low key one of

1042
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: the most sane things of fucking rich put on productive, white,

1043
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: productive woman can do. Is it be like, why would

1044
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: I attach myself to any of these niggas?

1045
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 2: Right?

1046
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: What is she just happy? Yeah?

1047
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 2: That's only attached to women. Yeah, you ain't never claim

1048
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 2: no forty you old single man. It's being crazy.

1049
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, jay Z was fucking a confirmed bachelor for like

1050
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: what thirty five forty years or some shit like, hey man,

1051
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: that maybe she maybe does nothing wrong with her at all,

1052
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: Maybe she don't want to maybe there's something right with her.

1053
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: She's just like I don't want these niggas wasting my time.

1054
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: Or I'm good, this isn't a goal of mine. I'm

1055
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: ambitious about other things.

1056
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 2: You know.

1057
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: Woman always gotta be crazy if they single for too long,

1058
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: come on, or they always be tested to a fucking man,

1059
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: right uh, Brooklyn shoe Ba says a Guardian episode four

1060
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: Wu Tang scam. She says a Guardian random thoughts. I

1061
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 1: hate booths at restaurants because I'm fat, carry all my way,

1062
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: my belly, and the booths crushed me. Yo, That's why

1063
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: I hate them too. To be looky, to be serious. Yeah,

1064
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not enough space and then like and then

1065
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: depending on the depending on the restaurant too. Just in general,

1066
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: I like a chair. I feel like, give me better

1067
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: back support. Yeah, you know, it's more mobile, I can

00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: get up and leave, you know, Like I don't know,

1069
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: I like. I mean, I've always liked chairs and shit,

1070
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: I've never been a big booth person, even when I

1071
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: wasn't that fat. But now it's just like it's is.

1072
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And my thing is, why don't they actually just

1073
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 2: look at people and be like, okay, why will I

1074
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 2: would I cram you into a booth like I think well.

1075
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: I think I think couples love booths a lot of times,

1076
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, uh, and a lot of people prefer booths,

1077
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 1: but I do you just think you should ask, That's all,

1078
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: you know. But it's not like it's not like a

1079
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: huge deal or deal breakup. But it's like, if I

1080
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: have my choice and I'm the customer, I preferred sick.

1081
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 1: And that's like I said, that's before even I was fat.

1082
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: That was just in general, like I don't want sending

1083
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: the booth. Yeah, and I yeah, And I realized that

1084
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: a lot because lots of time. Can I get a table?

1085
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:26,919
Speaker 2: Because all times that's the first place that want to PLoP.

1086
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 2: I'm like, can I get a table?

1087
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: Can I get a table?

1088
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 2: Can I get a lot of Can I get a table?

1089
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: Before we even move? It's always made me feel claustrophobic,

1090
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: Like I just don't feel like I've never liked booths.

1091
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: It's just I don't like the feeling of it, just

1092
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: in general. Anyway, Brooklyn shoe Bas says, Also, I enjoyed

1093
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,720
Speaker 1: the hell out of the Photograph Easter Ray is fucking beautiful.

1094
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: Everyone in that movie was super fine. I felt good

1095
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: watching it, even found myself falling in love with Issa

1096
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: and lakeif also, all the dark brown people with their

1097
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: natural hair in this movie just made me smile sorry

00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: to day. God damn, this movie got me in my feels.

1099

Speaker 1: Glad you loved it. Like I said, I love that movie, man,

1100
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 1: And I fucking refuse to argue with these niggas. No,

1101
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: absolutely not dogs like my girl, you know, BOSSI we

1102
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: do this too much together. She loved it, loved it down,

1103
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: and she was like kind of wanting to talk about it.

1104
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: And then you had these people online that were like

1105
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: so negative and all this stuff, and you know, Boss

1106
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: is like, I'm going up for this movie, Like why

1107
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: y'all not buying out the theater to support this the

1108
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: way y'all did for all these shitty movies. Blah blah

1109
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: blah ah that stuff. I said, BOSSI ain't even worth

1110
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: talking to these people about it, Like this is not

1111
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: that situation like motherfucker's getting They like I'm shitting on

1112
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: this attitude thing. You gotta let them cook because they

1113
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: doing it. You got to let that ocean ride, and

1114
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: you gotta remember, like there's a lot of agendas, yeah,

1115
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: that you are not aware of, well, whether you're aware

1116
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: of them or not just the fact that their agendas

1117
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: mean you not getting the honest conversation. You know, you're

1118
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 1: not so people walking in there feeling like I don't

1119
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: like say Easter Ray, or I don't like insecure. I

1120
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: don't like the people that think they like insecure. You

1121
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: know that kind of shit you like, it just wasn't

1122
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: worth it, you know. Mis Ms barn seventy two says,

1123
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: thank you for talking about personal space. I need personal

1124
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: bubble around me. When I'm out of public at the

1125
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: grocery store, I will put a car in between myself

1126
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: and the person behind me. I make sure that no

1127
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: one sits around me while I go to movies, and

1128
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: one time at the doctor's office, I put on Michael

1129
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: Jackson mask to ensure that no one sat around me.

1130
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: It worked. Yeah, I haven't gone that far necessarily, but yes,

1131
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: I like personal space. Like it's so weird too, because

1132
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: if you people love their personal space, so many people, right,

1133
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I'm not saying it's the demean

1134
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: the point that I'm about to like, I'm not trying

1135
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: to mean these people whose point I'm about to be like,

1136
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: but what about this, right? But when you the way

1137
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: people feel about men and this like man spreading shit

1138
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: like and I get it, Like I don't. If I'm

1139
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: in a situation where I'm sharing space with people, I'm

1140
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,919
Speaker 1: gonna do my best to like, you know, not take

1141
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: up extra space for people that need it right right.

1142
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: But then they'll just like take a picture of the

1143
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: motherfucker sitting in a chair and it's like they you know,

1144
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: they have balls, so their legs are spread or just

1145
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're there by themselves, so they spreading

1146
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: out a little bit more and putting their arm on

1147
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,919
Speaker 1: a chair or something. I'm like, what if that person

1148
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: just want they personal space, Like it's not like they

1149
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: just enjoying the fact I don't have a person around

1150
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: me and I can just spread out a little bit more.

1151
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: What if it's not even about you or trying to

1152
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: keep you from coming over there any of that shit.

1153
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: And if you have space and they have face, what

1154
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: would be the fucking problem with them? Yeah, it's so

1155
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: weird to me that that. I mean, I get the idea,

1156
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it's not a thing. I'm not

1157
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: one of these I'm not trying to gasp like anybody,

1158
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,479
Speaker 1: but like just to take a random picture of somebody

1159
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: sitting on like a park bench and they got their

1160
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: arm on the bench or sitting in the middle of

1161
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: it because nobody wanted to sit there when they sat down, Like,

1162
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: I just don't see the point of it, Like what

1163
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: the fuck? And also like if you did want to

1164
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: sit there, I don't know, go ask can't sit there.

1165
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Then if they say no, take that picture, Like I

1166
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: don't know anyway, Dida says, on the random thighs ride,

1167
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: you mentioned someone sitting next to you at the movie theater.

1168
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: May remember my cousin tell me about when she first

1169
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: started to commute the work on the train in Chicago.

1170
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: When she got on, it was the start of the

1171
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: line and a woman sat right next to her on

1172
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: the empty train. Once the woman got settled, she leaned

1173
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: over and said, you look normal, So I'm gonna sit

1174
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: next to you now, because in a few stops other

1175
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: people will get on and they don't get and they

1176
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: get to choose, not me. I always think of that

1177
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: when I get it. Just hey, you look normal. When

1178
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: I get on public transportation.

1179
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,959
Speaker 2: I don't ride public transplaces, so I don't know about

1180
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 2: them problems.

1181
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: That does make sense, you know, because yeah, you probably do.

1182
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: Get the crazies, the lunatics that the people that want

1183
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 2: to jack off on the on the train and shit

1184
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 2: like that. You go, no, no, you like you got

1185
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 2: some sense, sit right here all right, you like the

1186
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 2: nun jacket off crime right, and you like all your

1187
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 2: colts will stay on the entire trip.

1188
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just go ahead and pick my battles right now. Right.

1189
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 2: So that's why even when me and right to do

1190
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 2: ride public transportation, I'm like, I'm fearful. I just it's

1191
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 2: almost like an animal in the wild. I look down,

1192
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 2: I don't speak because I was like, nope.

1193
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: Dope, don't. That's when your cousin should have just been like,

1194
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: well you gets strong and put out. They dick and

1195
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: started jacking around or her clip. I don't know what

1196
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: she got in her pants. Whatever you pull out once

1197
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: in your pants, you just go you're on you gets wrong, ma'am,

1198
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm a freak, blah blah. And then she'll be like, no,

1199
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back and sit where I was supposed to.

1200
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Uhrigo eighteen nineteen says, Hey, riding Karen, I know exactly

1201
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: how you feel regarding to self evaluate your paperwork. It

1202
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: is so frustrating. One way that I started dealing with

1203
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: is by keeping a hype list in the Google doc.

1204
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Every time I'm proud of my list. Every time I

1205
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: proud of myself or my coworkers slash management, give me

1206
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: props for doing something. Mark it down. There's no possible

1207
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 1: way that you or your superior can remember for all

1208
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: the great things you bring to the table, you don't

1209
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: factor an apostle syndrome or introverted this. So while rely

1210
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: on that, when you can bust out your hype list

1211
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: and remind each other each one of those mofos how

1212
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: badass you really are. Hope it helps rego great idea,

1213
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: that makes sense. You're just an all going document.

1214
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes great sense because you're not gonna remember

1215
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 2: from this year to next year, because they normally give

1216
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 2: you a mid year and a year in most jobs,

1217
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 2: so mid year you't go remember in six months and

1218
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 2: you hold hell, ain't gonna remember in twelve months.

1219
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Yep. So if you're listening to this, Karen, start doing it.

1220
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: Dark Knight said, really, Dark Knight says, hey, y'all, that

1221
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: was a lot of breakdown in this. There was a

1222
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: lot to break down in this episode. You did a

1223
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: great job as always. Boy, it really caught my ear

1224
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: as a substitute teacher giving lap dads. It's the fourth gradest.

1225
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: What kind of shit is this? I don't know what

1226
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: in the hell has happened in the last twenty years

1227
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: or so, twenty or so years when these teachers decide

1228
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: to have inappropriate ways with minors. But here we are

1229
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: absolutely disgusting. I do I know what happened.

1230
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Nobody gives a fuck about people that actually go into

1231
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 2: teaching field that actually care about your goddamn children. Teachers

1232
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 2: are underpaid, overworked teachers, unions and shit, they want.

1233
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: To bust them up.

1234
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 2: You have a lot of teachers like like, hey, I

1235
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 2: love children, like I actually love this field. Most teachers

1236
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 2: do not want to spend time with your kids outside

1237
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 2: of the working environment. They're like, send them niggas home,

1238
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 2: you know. But once you lower the standards and you

1239
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 2: can literally have people that actually come into the classrooms

1240
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 2: that have no teaching background, no teaching degrees, no teaching field.

1241
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 2: You can just just open field. These are the end results.

1242
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 2: And nobody ever want to talk about this. But that's

1243
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 2: I actually think over the Fast fifteen twenty years. We

1244
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 2: have people to go a.

1245
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: Bitch, I'm not getting paid though, no, no, a little

1246
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: bit of money.

1247
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 2: I'm not fighting state, I'm not doing this, I'm not

1248
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 2: doing that.

1249
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: And then you you know, they just change.

1250
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 2: Careers or either like they have the teaching fellas, and

1251
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 2: a lot of times once the teaching fellows in, a

1252
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 2: lot of them will actually change go back to school,

1253
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 2: get out the careers.

1254
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: So this is the end results of you.

1255
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 2: Not actually having people in the field that actually care

1256
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 2: about your truths.

1257
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: We made so many cuts to education that at this point,

1258
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: I feel like the only people that would take a

1259
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: job in the teaching field are people that want to

1260
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: fuck the kids. I mean, what other benefits are that

1261
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: to being in the teacher field At this point, You're

1262
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: not respected, you don't make no money, and they always

1263
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: cutting more money from the budget as is, and they

1264
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: don't care about the school conditions, your safety. So I mean,

1265
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: it's got people only gonna be going into that field

1266
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: for the perks at this point. Like I guess how

1267
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: lap dance on some of these kids to pass the time,

1268
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: because our damn sure ain't got enough money to go

1269
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 1: to the club on the weekend. So I get it,

1270
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: you got tired of working two or three jobs. She

1271
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: probably practicing for a second job stripping. Come, so but

1272
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: we go go, I mean really dark. Knight goes on

1273
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: to say, disgusting. But let me ask you two questions.

1274
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Is that video? And is she fine?

1275
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 2: Though?

1276
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: Got to do my research, peace. I think those are jokes.

1277
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: Can oh, those are jokes. As prisoner abolitionists, we all

1278
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: agree that those white supremacists shouldn't go to jail, right, yes, no, no?

1279
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: Or just jail no death penality boom?

1280
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 2: All right, Karen, we all agree with that they shouldn't

1281
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 2: go to jail.

1282
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: No, we don't agree that they shouldn't go to jail, okay,

1283
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: So thirty three percent of people agree with Karen that

1284
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: we don't agree that they should go to jail. They

1285
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't go to right. Six percent of y'all true blue

1286
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: y'all say yes, they shouldn't go to jail. So I

1287
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: feel y'all y'all with me, y'all with me? Okayo? And

1288
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: then just jail, no deaf penity boo. Sixty one percent

1289
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: of y'all think they should get like the death penalty

1290
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: or something. So they guys go And I for I

1291
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: just leave both of us blind. You know what I'm saying,

1292
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: y'all just trying to drop this knowledge on y'all. Keep

1293
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: y'all Third Eye Open twenty forty six, The White Azela

1294
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: Banks was the episode we got like three comments on

1295
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: on this bad Boy talked about Rose McGowan and white

1296
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: people news. I think, so let's get to you. I mean,

1297
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: swaveyp says Hey Rider Carroll just wanted to comment on

1298
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: the topic of Harry and Meghan not being able to

1299
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: use that royal duke and Duchess titles for Brandon. I

1300
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: actually agree with this. I respect Harry and Meghan's decision

1301
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: to annex themselves from the royal family, but when I

1302
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: heard they were still going to be referred to as

1303
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, I didn't understand it.

1304
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: My thing is, if you're gonna break from your family,

1305
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: then break from them. Hose don't half asked saying it.

1306
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: You are saying you want to be independent of the queen,

1307
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: but then use the duke slash dutchess title in your Brandon.

1308
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 1: Do it expeditiously. If the only distance from your family

1309
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: is that you're moving to Canada and can't be called

1310
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: his or her Royal Highness, then you're really not doing much.

1311
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: It's like you want to be removed or still had

1312
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: the perks, which, don't get me wrong, I totally get

1313
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: but nevertheless, it sounded like they wanted to retain that

1314
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: royal okay while eating it. I wish them well or

1315
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: whatever happens, though, but I don't necessarily see as a

1316
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: queen being petty for them wanting to leave. I think

1317
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: she was just as confused as I was and was like,

1318
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: say what now, l O L.

1319
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 2: I get it, Like I understand, but I guess my

1320
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 2: thing is I don't know if this is ever happened

1321
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 2: for like, it's just like that's the thing. It has

1322
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 2: to happen before, I believe, right, So like if there

1323
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 2: was a rule book in there and never go well, oh,

1324
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 2: when this happened, these are the rules we followed. Cool,

1325
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 2: but that's not a rule book that says in these situations,

1326
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 2: these are the rules we follow.

1327
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: So this is the rule that the queen made up. Yeah,

1328
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I honestly think I think the queen is being petty.

1329
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: But also you have to remember me and Karen do

1330
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: not give a fuck. Yeah, I'm sorry. So yeah, So,

1331
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: like I understand this is really important to people that

1332
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: believe in all this shit, but you know, kind of

1333
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: like religion. For me, I feel like this shit is

1334
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of silly that they even have a queen and

1335
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: a fucking royalty and all this shit. I was never

1336
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: really I'm to be fair, I'm more into the idea

1337
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: of Meghan the black woman, uh from this like side

1338
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: of the globe being over there is more of an

1339
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: interesting story than anything to do with the Royalty of that.

1340
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 1: I'm not an angler foul on any level, so to

1341
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: me it does feel petty and you know, kind of

1342
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 1: kind of like they didn't have to do that. But

1343
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's not like I care one

1344
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 1: way or the other. Yeah.

1345
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 2: And also for me, like you said, we don't care

1346
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 2: what the other and what difference does it make if

1347
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 2: they use that name or not other than the queen,

1348
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 2: it was like the fuck you will.

1349
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Know, it's a reason that that stuff with Meghan and

1350
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: Harry is always in white people news, like we don't care, y'all,

1351
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: it's white people shit. They don't want to be caring

1352
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 1: about that stuff. Now, I'm not saying if you care

1353
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: about it makes you white. I'm just saying that is

1354
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: white people territory. Firmly. You are firmly in the trenches

1355
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 1: of white people TERRIORI don't deny it. Yeah, so I

1356
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: don't really like congrats to them and everything, but I

1357
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 1: don't know the rules about it. I don't care about.

1358
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,679
Speaker 1: Ain't that shit? Eve says the irony of Carolyn flat

1359
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: of the Caroline Flax suicide was at the same British

1360
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: tabloid who ran Megan A Harry out of England. Are

1361
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,640
Speaker 1: the same ones who are saying, uh, did they go

1362
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:33,520
Speaker 1: too far with this woman and that people should be compassionate.

1363
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: Fuck them. British tabloids are worse than American ones, and

1364
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: people like Pierce Morgan can eat several bags of dicks.

1365
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 1: Fuck them. I feel the poem was, did you lose

1366
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: any relationships with white people over Trump? Yes? And I'm white? No,

1367
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,560
Speaker 1: I kept all of my white No, I didn't have

1368
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: any whites to lose. And yes, and I'm not white.

1369
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 2: Care I guess Yes, and I'm not white because vicariously

1370
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,600
Speaker 2: threw you because once once your white friends in't it?

1371
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: I just went on the way with you. Yeah, I

1372
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: feel like you more and no, I didn't have any

1373
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: whites to lose, so I really didn't have no white

1374
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, oh my white friends, not yours. And now

1375
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to colonize.

1376
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 2: That's why I said vicariously, because when you left, I

1377
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 2: left too.

1378
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: We all left. But I definitely was in the group

1379
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,719
Speaker 1: that lost some white friends over Trump. Forty four percent

1380
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: said yes, and I'm not white, which means brown people.

1381
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: Forty four percent of people in the pole that are

1382
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: brown said I lost friends because you know Trump, Yes,

1383
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: and I'm white. Only two percent of the pole. Now

1384
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 1: you know that's coming from a very small group of

1385
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: white people who listen to shit and voting the poles.

1386
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: But only two percent said I'm white and I had

1387
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,759
Speaker 1: to lose me some Uh that might be Jail Covin.

1388
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: You know how he is. He's not white, he's not black,

1389
01:10:50,800 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 1: he's jl okay, six figure nigger. But yeah, two percent

1390
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: twenty that uh, twenty percent say no, I kept all

1391
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 1: my whites, to which I have to say, what do

1392
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: you shop at the whole flues? Where do you get

1393
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: your whites from? Cuddy?

1394
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 2: You get your whites from?

1395
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: What kind? Do you just not care? You just be

1396
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: like ah, they was always racist. Who cares? I mean,

1397
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess he didin't have to win, no

1398
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: bleach on the whites. We went to go earlier bout

1399
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: the day we got ready got the car at the library.

1400
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, Caroen trying to go make

1401
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,880
Speaker 1: America great again. I was like, no to he is

1402
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 1: robber you. Oh man, Uh did you lose any relationships?

1403
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 2: Oh?

1404
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: The last one is no. I didn't have any whites

1405
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: to lose, So thirty four percent of y'all didn't even

1406
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: have white friends to start with. I don't blame you,

1407
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: it happens. Shady Dame says, the reading Rainbow segments spoke

1408
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 1: to my spirit. My first husband was black and passed

1409
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: away eleven years ago, and about six years ago I

1410
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: met a white guy and we were married this past summer.

1411
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 1: My second husband is from mostly white and same wealthy

1412
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 1: Corte Madera, California. Our relationship has endured all of the

1413
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: Trump drama, but that mostly that's mostly because we have

1414
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:12,640
Speaker 1: always had an open dialogue about race. His daughter from

1415
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 1: his previous marriage is biracial, and that hasn't stopped him

1416
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: from knowing that his biracial daughter has privilege that my kids,

1417
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 1: who are unambiguously black, simply doesn't have. I let him

1418
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 1: know mighty early that the bar for him is higher

1419
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: because of his race, and he needs to fight harder

1420
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: for all of the blackness. As a tax for aligning

1421
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: himself with blackness. He is required to be at every

1422
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter rally. He has to fight to the

1423
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 1: death for our kids when they face racism. Living in

1424
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: the city where I can go days without seeing another

1425
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: black face, well, his frat bros Are being assholes. Call

1426
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: those fuckers out. Unfortunately, I didn't have the conversation with

1427
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: someone that I have considered a best friend for over

1428
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Don't ask why. I just didn't think

1429
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: I needed to have that talk with my bestie. And

1430
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: that bitch not only voted for Trump, she is proud

1431
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 1: of that fact. He break. That's my heart because we

1432
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 1: almost raised one another's kids. She was there with my

1433
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 1: first husband and my dad passed away. Now she's one

1434
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 1: of the mindless trumpions. Over the last few years, I

1435
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: have stopped stepped away from our friendship because she is

1436
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: turning out to be a whole mess. I say all

1437
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,679
Speaker 1: of this just to sum it up with the James

1438
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: Baldwin quote we can disagree and still love each other

1439
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression. Yeah, man,

1440
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: sad Man, I'm telling you, man, a lot of black

1441
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: people was in well, a lot of people were in

1442
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: mourning at the Trump because you know, there's kind of

1443
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: been a constant, consistent three or four years of morning

1444
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: because also cost a lot of people, at least superficially

1445
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: what they considered to be friendships. And some people you

1446
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: found out that shit wasn't real till shit got real. Yep.

1447
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: Nicole s says, I didn't lose white friends specifically over Trump,

1448
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: but I have let a few relationships go and faded

1449
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 1: to the background over events that precipitated Trump's rise, like

1450
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:01,560
Speaker 1: a distinct lack of empathy after the Trials massacre. I have,

1451
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 1: I have Slash had a white friend that this is

1452
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: herself during Trump's first year, after I told her that

1453
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: I didn't trust her new liberal boyfriend who chose the

1454
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: name of his dog after a famous Nazi who was

1455
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: inaccurately tried to paint as a good Nazi. Okay, anything

1456
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: about that shit that's deep. Michelle said, I didn't lose

1457
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: any white friends because of Trump, since I already kept

1458
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: most of my white cranks, who I suspected are the

1459
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: Mago type. Ated. This is before Trump arrived. The racism

1460
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: isn't new. Yeah, I feel you on that. Stefan A says.

1461
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: The night Trump was elected in twenty sixteen, I saw

1462
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 1: a decent chunk of my white childhood friends show that

1463
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: true sales. Oh man, those are people I feel the

1464
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 1: worse for the people that I was like, I didn't

1465
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 1: know these motherfuckers are like this, all right? The fuck

1466
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: is this? I was kind of expecting it. You know.

1467
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Even before this election, I started to part ways with

1468
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: other longtime childhood friends because I started remembering that I

1469
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: was nothing more than the good one to most of them.

1470
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: It was very difficult to unsee it. Shit. I remember

1471
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 1: one of them being scared that President Obama was gonna

1472
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: bring back Internment Camp during his term, and welp, she

1473
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: was wrong because Trump is literally doing that. Then again, right,

1474
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 1: but they support this one. Then again. It honestly really

1475
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 1: wasn't about that and just whiteness being uncomfortable with a

1476
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: black president, so they allow fear and propaganda to be there. Bitch,

1477
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,640
Speaker 1: Since the beginning of time. I haven't even told that

1478
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: person that I don't want to be friends anymore, but

1479
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: we haven't really hung out in a while, so it's

1480
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: appropros at this point. Chuckter and her husband Hubby all

1481
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: child also a childhood friend the deuce, like Denzel Washington

1482
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: and Mark Wahlberg. Blowing up that car and two guns

1483
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: make it rain. I don't have the time to explain

1484
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: my humanity the white people, even past the white classmates,

1485
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 1: who sadly repeat the same white flighty tendencies over and over.

1486
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: It gets tired. Then I'm just stopped being sad. Then

1487
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: I just stopped being sad about about it and lived

1488
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: my life the best I can. Their self. Hatred, misery, loathing,

1489
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 1: fragility is not the problem of black and brown people period. Also,

1490
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 1: I had a person hit up my DM on Twitter

1491
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: discussing about my political tweets, and when I gave her

1492
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: my honesty, she turned into big boss fragile susan, proclaiming

1493
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: she didn't want to be interrogated by the way, she

1494
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a fellow childhood friend. But I won't specify what

1495
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 1: she does out of respect for adonymity. The incident was

1496
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: like two years ago. Obviously at that point I started

1497
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: being okay with myself and just went from there. I

1498
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: definitely need to pick up Howard Bryant and I've been

1499
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: reading Conflict Is Not Abuse, and wow, it's a revelation.

1500
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: I love it, y'all. Feel you, Stephan and that book

1501
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: really changed the way I see a lot of shit.

1502
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Conflict is Not Abuse. Man, I wasn't ready to read

1503
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 1: it like three or four years ago when I started,

1504
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: but I just need to go through some things, and

1505
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: now I'm ready to receive all the messages. I'll be

1506
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: looking at people shit now like this isn't even about me.

1507
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 2: And once you understand that, it's it's actually easy to

1508
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 2: navigate him. You go, oh, this ain't about me. Your

1509
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 2: behavior is based off of something else.

1510
01:16:56,240 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: Yep, Lakita says, shout out to all though that had

1511
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 1: whites to lose, I started I started seeing them that

1512
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: for what they were in twenty eight, two thousand and eight.

1513
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: Never really had any coach whites in my life but

1514
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: for the occasion by marriage affiliations. But them ones ain't

1515
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 1: crazy laughing my ass off. Yeah, I feel on that,

1516
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, what's funny is I think before Trump there's

1517
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: also I could make it. I could have made this

1518
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: poll about after two thousand and eight because I also

1519
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: feel like what Obama exposed is what led to Trump, right,

1520
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,719
Speaker 1: Like the election of Obama is what it all started.

1521
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: Even the Black Lives Matter movement started after the election

1522
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: of Obama because Black people felt empowered to ask for

1523
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: equality in a new, different, way, different organized way that

1524
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: they hadn't before or in a while. Anyway. Twenty forty

1525
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: seven Bonus Thugs in Harmony was an episode Lotus Flowers

1526
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: has completely agree on the impact of socialio. I currently

1527
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: see it. It's for anxiety. She suggested that restrict social

1528
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 1: media use because they believe it increased anxiety and depression. Also,

1529
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: women and people of color higher risks to be targeted

1530
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: for harassment and bullying. Yep, yep. Even he says, come on, son,

1531
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: we all know that Lovers and Friends concert was a

1532
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: fake when we saw Lauren Hill is a headliner. Her

1533
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: chakras haven't been a line since two thousand and three.

1534
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: That's for the man who kidnapped the woman and made

1535
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: her watch roots. I don't see where the crime was

1536
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:28,600
Speaker 1: free him. No, I will say this man, someone hit

1537
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: us up on our Facebook page said that their company

1538
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: is the one that's working on the Lovers and Friends

1539
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: uh concert. So I don't know, maybe she'd been a

1540
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: whole scam of the whole time, or maybe it's a legit,

1541
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 1: but I do know this much. I can't imagine the

1542
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: joke stopping. Okay, we're gonna go. Contina had these jokes

1543
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: to the day of the concert, and everybody better show

1544
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: up and it better be dope because if not, it's

01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna be jokes. Part two. Kim Doc says that festival

1546
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:00,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a scammer's delight. Little Care and Foxy been

1547
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 1: beefing since the beginning of the time. Brandy and Monica

1553
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: Karen uh. And then the poll was is the lovers

1554
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:31,120

01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,439

Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen at all.

1560
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 2: Karen, Mm, you know what I was gonna say, No,

01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 1: the people said yes without a hit, fifty four percent

1567
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 1: of people agree with Karen, and thirty seven say it's

1568
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 1: not gonna happen at all. Ms Barne says, good God,

1569
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 1: all I see is mess shaking my damn head. This

1570
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 1: is nothing but a good idea on paper. First of all,

1571
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: will Lauren be on time? In fact, will any performer

1572
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 1: be on time? Is there insurance for the tickets? Like

1573
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:25,440
Speaker 1: a case of no shows? By performance shootings, alcohol poisonings?

1574
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: The weed will smell louder than hell? And what's the

1575
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: food like? No? Thanks? All I see is the hottest

1576
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: of message. I am good, I feel you on that.

1577
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's see, I think we got one voicemail.

1578
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,679
Speaker 5: Hey, Rod and Karen, this is Tiffany. So I wanted

1579
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 5: to call because I listened to Karen's random thoughts about

1580
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 5: performance reviews, and so I said, this is where I'm

1581
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 5: going to finally get to shine. So my job is

1582
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 5: career development and actually deployed performance reviews for about six

1583
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 5: thousand employees across the organization. I just want to give you, guys,

1584
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 5: like some tips in some ways to really like step

1585
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 5: into that with confidence. I did get a really good chuckle.

1586
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 5: You're like, just lie, So don't lie simply because you

1587
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 5: are going to have substantiated and even if you fluff

1588
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 5: it up a bit, your leader probably can't substantiate it.

1589
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 5: But essentially, it's not really a matter of being humble.

1590
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 5: It's really about just adding color to data. So if

1591
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 5: you work in a call center, there's constantly these metrics

1592
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 5: and data you must kind of hit. But this kind

1593
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 5: of adds the person to it, so they see kind

1594
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,639
Speaker 5: of what you were struggling with, where you were really strong,

1595
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 5: how they can help you grow and you can tell

1596
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 5: them like I really need more help, and certain things

1597
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 5: and support also come with the facts right down. Keep

1598
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 5: like a running thing on your computer where you keep

1599
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 5: up with your accomplishments and things you really blew out

1600
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 5: the water and put those on there. You know, take

1601
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 5: ownership of your professional development and as best you can

1602
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 5: even set in your old goals and just think of

1603
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 5: your performance view as like an easter age that you're dripping.

1604
01:21:58,080 --> 01:21:59,759
Speaker 5: So if you're not in a room, when you're leaders,

1605
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 5: noting in the room, there's something that speaks to you

1606
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 5: and how great you are. You just never know how

1607
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 5: great that can be. Like I had a chance to

1608
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 5: basically match a young guy who is in his mid

1609
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 5: twenties and he's been mentored by the company president simply

1610
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 5: based on some data that I have for him, and

1611
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 5: I felt like it was a chance to even the

1612
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 5: plan field for him. So either way it goes, I

1613
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 5: think you're amazing. I would love to talk more about

1614
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 5: it if you guys want to have me on for

1615
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 5: a show. But either way, I love you. Keep up

1616
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 5: the good work, y'all. Have a good one.

1617
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: Bye bye bye. All right. You know, I body or

1618
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: superior knowledge. I don't work in the field, but I

1619
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: would you know, obviously, my thing is to just go

1620
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: ahead line.

1621
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 3: Now.

1622
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: The thing about the line for me though, is like

1623
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's really lying if you can

1624
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: do it, you know what I mean? Like, so if

1625
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: you if you want to pump up your positives, I

1626
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,679
Speaker 1: think we should be more encouraged to do that because

1627
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: I think black people in women always play down their

1628
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 1: positives and the accuracy and being real ship ain't really

1629
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: what's seen the work when motherfucker's applying for jobs and

1630
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 1: promotions and all that stuff like to seem like the

1631
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: people that be lying be getting ahead. But I don't

1632
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 1: work in the field. So I buy to your superior knowledge.

1633
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: Tiffany will appreciate you calling in giving us some game,

1634
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: because you know that's not how I would have did it.

1635
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: Let's see, uh, I think this is for the regular show.

1636
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,599
Speaker 1: I don't remember if I read this well, ill caring.

1637
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: If I read this at South Familia, let me know.

1638
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: I'll go to the next one. It's from Donald Man.

1639
01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the nerd off at this very moment,

1640
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 1: playing PS four, trying to cope with this tragedy.

1641
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:42,559
Speaker 2: Bro.

1642
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,879
Speaker 1: You okay, so it's about Kobe done this from January.

1643
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I must have read this, right, I probably did. If

1644
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 1: you didn't, you need to move it to balls deep. Well,

1645
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: that's the thing you listen to the nerd off, he said.

1646
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 1: So I think it's just think it's just a general email.

1647
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: It's not for the nerd off for any of that. Okay, Anyway,

1648
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna finish reading it. You and Karen, unbeknownst to you,

1649
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:07,680
Speaker 1: have been there for me during personal tragedy. My stepdaughter

1650
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: was killed three years ago, and I swear to whoever

1651
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 1: there is to swear to that if I haven't learned

1652
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 1: from you guys that it's okay for men, cry, I

1653
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: really don't believe I be here. Your advocacy for mental

1654
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: therapy helped me to not feel ashamed seek help for

1655
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 1: situations that were unbearable for me and my family. I

1656
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 1: can't understate you, guys, impact on someone you've never met,

1657
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: even though I'm right here in South Carolina and wouldn't

1658
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,560
Speaker 1: know from Adam Kobe, his daughter and the other passengers

1659
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,640
Speaker 1: passed and hit a different place for me personally as

1660
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 1: a father, and just imagining being in that situation with

1661
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,719
Speaker 1: your child. To be clear, this isn't so much about

1662
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: Kobe's tragedy as it is about dealing with loss and

1663
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 1: any kind of hurt. I just felt compelled to share

1664
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: with you guys while still here, and you're here to

1665
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: receive it. I apologize as maybe long and not specific

1666
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: to any episode. Yeah, that's why I put it in, Okay,

1667
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: But crazy as it may seem, you on your other

1668
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: blackout tells community are my friends and my peace. You

1669
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 1: helped me to understand things from a different perspective. I

1670
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,360

Speaker 1: can help edify anybody's life.

1687
01:25:58,600 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 2: Man.

1688
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 1: You know, it is important, especially you know, not to

1689
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: demean black men in general, but I think it is

1690
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 1: important for us to be able to like cry and stuff,

1691
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,799
Speaker 1: because it just seems like your emotions, you are not robots.

1692
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:13,600
Speaker 1: The whole world is just trying to tell you that

1693
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: that's just some shit you don't do or that whatever.

1694
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 1: And it's like if dog, if I'm telling you so many,

1695
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: so many men in general, because they don't cry, they

1696
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 1: hurt people, and I think, and I think it's gonna

1697
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: come out. People don't make that connection, so they just

1698
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: think it's they like, crime is not really just for you,

1699
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:38,679
Speaker 1: even though it is, and that's okay, but it's also

1700
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: for the people around you. Man, Like, we can't just

1701
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 1: turn ourselves into rocks and whatnot, because because because then

1702
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: you just kind of become a weapon and all that

1703
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,160
Speaker 1: shit you don't express in that way comes out. It's

1704
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna come out one way or the other. It's alone.

1705
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: You know, it's like if you if it's like if

1706
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 1: you stop up a damn or some water or whatever.

1707
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 1: If the water's gonna overflow, its gonna go over the

1708
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 1: damn and it's not gonna be nice, right, It's gonna

1709
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: destroy everything. Whinny Wright said, Hey, Rody Katas is letting

1722
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 1: article contribution for Black History Month by Dia who says, Hey,

1723
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 1: Rodan Karrot, I'm sure you've seen this, but it seemed

1724
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: like something I'd hear about on the show. Oh yeah,

1725
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: well we talked about them that had to watch Roots uh,

1726
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 1: when the black Man put a When the black Man

1727
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: kid Not then made to watch Root to help her

1728
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: out with her racism, Tory rights and self evaluations. High

1729
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 1: ride of Karen. I wanted to start off by saying

1730
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:09,799
Speaker 1: that I love your podcast. You guys give great advice

1731
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: in life lessons. I was listening to episode twenty forty five.

1732
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: You all were talking about work self evaluations. I believe

1733
01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 1: self evaluations are a good way to express yourself to

1734
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: your employer. I used to give myself a lower score,

1735
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: trying to be humble, but over the years I realized

1736
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: that some managers and employer years, employers might use that

1737
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: self evaluation score against you. Right, Yeah, I think when

1738
01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 1: you've had a bad work situation, because like you know,

1739
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: Tiffany expressed what I think the ideal positive work environment in.

1740
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 2: Your life environment, they're actually all positive, but a lot

1741
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 2: are not well.

1742
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 1: And I think Karen is in a positive situation now,

1743
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,680
Speaker 1: but she still had the reflex of being in a

1744
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: negative situation. But yeah, I think you know that. And honestly,

1745
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:52,400
Speaker 1: like for me, i'd rather my manager tell me I'm

1746
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,760
Speaker 1: not doing as good as I think. But you know

1747
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 1: this is a preference. I started to give myself five

1748
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:00,439
Speaker 1: stars and list all the things I do really well

1749
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: as the positive reflection of my work. I noticed it

1750
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 1: with my favor Over the years, my review scoring race

1751
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,519
Speaker 1: has gotten highed. It was a difficult adjustment to praise myself,

1752
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: but once I did, I was rewarded in the higher

1753
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: paid confidence in myself. Thank you for what y'all do, Tori,

1754
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 1: Thank y'all for the great podcast.

1755
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1756
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 1: The thing I would also add, and this, I meant

1757
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: this even when I told Karen that Karen's lie is

1758
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna be closer to the truth than Karen's truth. If

1759
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 1: you guys know what I mean, Like, if you just

1760
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 1: say something like it's like if you say, hey, how

1761
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,559
Speaker 1: good of a three point shooter? Are you? Well, if

1762
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 1: somebody's humble whatever, be like, I'm okay, and maybe they're

1763
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 1: really good, you know. And if someone's bragging it like

1764
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm really good and I'm like, well, that's closer to

1765
01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: the truth. Is what you think is the lie? Is

1766
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: the truth? Ms barn says, I hurt myself laughing. Oh

1767
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:52,800
Speaker 1: my god. I was listening to some older podcasts from

1775
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 1: surprised that my neighbors have not called now one one

01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,240

1795
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 1: Anthony W. Says Hello, Roding, Hello Karen and Rod good

1796
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 1: long email coming. First, I wanted to say how much

1797
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,759
Speaker 1: I enjoyed and appreciate the reading Rainbow segments. I'm always

1798
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 1: hitting my notes app to add to my reading list.

1799
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:31,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for that. Second, the black Capitalist segment is my

1800
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,599
Speaker 1: new favorite thing. Back when y'all were discussing the drama

1801
01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 1: around lean aways show the Shah and how anybody can

1802
01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: defend or pushback on being canceled because we have the

1803
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:43,639
Speaker 1: words now, it really just opened a whole new door

1804
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 1: to me. If you know the right words, you can

1805
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 1: defend pretty much any agenda. So to see you use

1806
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:53,440
Speaker 1: this new treacherous Cone Fou scale to create black capitalists

1807
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 1: and prison abolition agendas is a thing of comedic genius.

1808
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that. Glad you get it. Lastly,

1809
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:02,639
Speaker 1: I saw in the news that Winston Dukein' Zazzi Beats

1810
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 1: have a sci five drama movie coming out, which got

1811
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 1: me the thinking about how many movies we've had lately

1812
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 1: with black folk and leading and supporting roles, along with

1813
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:16,840
Speaker 1: the variety of genres those movies fell into. After looking

1814
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,599
Speaker 1: at this list of twenty nineteen movies and some twenty

1815
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 1: twenty movies, it reminds me of another agenda, the I'm

1816
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 1: tired of black people only being in slave movies. Oh yes,

1817
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 1: one of my least favorite agendas.

1818
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 2: And them agendas ain't gonna go support this other.

1819
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 1: Shit, right all right? But yeah, that's that's people's We

1820
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:40,599

01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 1: is that you have a variety of shit. There's no

1852
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:45,760
Speaker 1: reason to be like every movie is a Tyler Perry movie.

1853
01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:47,400
Speaker 1: There's no reason to be like every movie is a

1854
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 1: slave movie. There's no reason even be like every movie

1855
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: is a black trauma movie, like you know, does makes sense?

1856
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,760
Speaker 1: I think if you truly break down Yeah, and he

1857
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: left something out yeah twenty one bridges. Yeah, so I

1858
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:05,200
Speaker 1: think if you truly break down what people are what

1859
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 1: I think, if they truly break down what they're really

1860
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:11,120
Speaker 1: trying to say, I don't ever want to think about

1861
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 1: these topics. And that's the thing that's taboo to say.

1862
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:18,400
Speaker 1: So instead they say every movie's about these topics when

1863
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 1: it's just not true, it's not factual. But if they

1864
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 1: were have said if they were to say, like, even

1865
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 1: if every movie is not about I don't ever want

1866
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:29,679
Speaker 1: to like feel this experience. I don't ever want these stories.

1867
01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't want these stories to be told, which is

1868
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 1: the taboo thing to say, but that's the truth. They

1869
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 1: don't even want these stories to be for me personally.

1870
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: Fuck that absolutely tell these stories. We can't at once

1871
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,879
Speaker 1: be like, why are we so ignorant to the struggle,

1872
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 1: Why don't we appreciate our ancestors, Why don't you know

1873
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:55,719
Speaker 1: why isn't there enough black stories being told on the screen?

1874
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: Ball We can't be like that, and then at the

1875
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 1: same time be like, and then let's just take four

1876
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 1: hundred years off of the fucking books of black history.

1877
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 1: We're not talking about that ever, Like nah, man, So

1878
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that. Every year I always

1879
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,719
Speaker 1: see at least one movie where I'm like, I didn't

1880
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 1: even know that shit happened, you know. I watched Just Mercy,

1881
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:20,679
Speaker 1: was like, didn't even know this person was doing this work,

1882
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 1: didn't even know he was still down there doing this work,

1883
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 1: you know, didn't know how many people they got out

1884
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,759
Speaker 1: of death throw and all that stuff. You know, So anyway,
