1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: I listened to The Black Guy Who Tips podcasts because

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Rod and Karen a Hat.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 2: As far back as the eighteen sixties, Black America have

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 2: been calling for the hiring of black police officers. This

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: was an essential, if forgotten, part of our nation's civil

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 2: rights struggle. But while these demands were consistent, the rationales

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: were not. Some advocates claimed that blacks could make better

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: crime fighters, they would win black citizens trust more easily,

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: could more effectively cultivate informants in black communities, and above all,

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: would be motivated to protect black lives. This final conserration

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: was especially significant to those who had suffered the consequences

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: of white indifference to crime, vice, and public disorder in

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: black communities. Others said that black officers would be less

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: abusive and disrespectful than their white counterparts. In unincumbent by racism,

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: they'd be less likely to harass innocent blacks or use

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: excessive force during stops or arrest. Instead of treating all

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: blacks as suspects. They would be able to distinguish decent

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: folks from the element. Still, other advocates focused on economics.

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: Police jobs were good jobs with decent pay and even

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: better benefits, and blacks should get their fair share of

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: the pie. Finally, some argue that investing blacks with the

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: power of a badge and a gun would send a

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: vital message to Americans on both sides of the color line,

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: overturning the tradition of white resistance to the very idea

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: of black authority. Hey, welcome to the Blackout TPS podcast

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: official weapon of the show is an unofficial sports and

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: bullet ball true And this excerpt was from Locking Up

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: Our Own, which is a book that is not by

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Ad Frohman, whoever I made up. That's not even a

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: real person. It's by James Foreman Jr. A real human

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: being who really did this book. Okay, the son. But yeah,

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: so this, uh, this acts are kind of interesting because

36
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: I think a lot of these debates and stuff still

37
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: go on today, and we do what a lot of

38
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: people always forget about these same policies and black people

39
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: that they did integrate. Now because we know how things

40
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: worked out, they always forget that they were working on theory,

41
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: oh what might be, and largely in a large part,

42
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: even some of the most radical minds of today are

43
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: still mostly working on theory. They don't know what the

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: fuck will happen, you know, and that and I think

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: one of the reasons we're always pushing for the theoretical

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: is because we know the things that are happening are

47
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: not good enough, and we know that, you know, the

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: implementation of these new things, maybe there will be some

49
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: chance to overcome of the big elephant in the room,

50
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: which is just civilly racism.

51
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's one of the things where, like he said,

52
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: you you kind of fall in different camps when it

53
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: comes to this. You fall in the camp of people

54
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: there's like I hope white people will change. I hope

55
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: the system will change. And I think that that is

56
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: what the engine and the fuel behind people pushing forward

57
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: and pushing forward and pushing the changes and stuff, because

58
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: you know, you for some people, they have to have hope.

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: Then you fall into the group that goes, I hope

60
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: they change, But I am looking around me and reality

61
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: tells me that they're not going to change and nothing's

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: going to change.

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: But I still have hope.

64
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: You know, you fall and that's a separate group that

65
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: that group is kind of in the middle. Then you

66
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: have a group that go, fuck them, they're not changing

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: and and and nothing's going to change, and everything's horrible

68
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: and everything is terrible, and you know, they're brick walls

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: towards any kind of compromise because they go, well, anytime

70
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: we compromise, we always end up getting the short end

71
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: of the stick. We always get getting screwed over. You know,

72
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: even if our we have this idea of what we

73
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: think is going to be, racism just always finds a

74
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: way somehow to morph and change and form into something

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: we didn't even know could do, and all of a

76
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: sudden we right back to fucking square one. So I

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: think people fall. I personally see people fall into all

78
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: three of those camps.

79
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: Well, what's interesting is that, you know, there are no

80
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: neat answers, right because when you're talking about policing, there

81
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: was a time where only white people were police officers

82
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: and they could police black people. But the execution of

83
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: what policing came became for black people and for black officers.

84
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it's obviously still right with problems you have

85
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: black officers who most of us think of as the

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: most the ones who are the most harsh towards us,

87
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: the least forgiving right. And you know that's other. In

88
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: this chapter, they talked to some of the police officers

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: who became those first police officers and some of the

90
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: black people that became those first police officers. They talk

91
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: about you that, but a lot of what they talk

92
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: about is that they weren't necessarily in it for the

93
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: quote unquote good of the race. They didn't feel like

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: this is for my community. They were like, I have

95
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: been trying to find a job. I have been locked

96
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: out of jobs of all types of idiots steam and

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: now I can find a job. I have a profit

98
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: motive to just do a good job. And what is

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: a good job in a white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalist police department, right,

100
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: it's not you know, be the one to buck the

101
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: system and tell them everything that have a job. Then,

102
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: also as black police officers, they would marginalize the sideline

103
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: many times, put in positions where they would never one

104
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: that would never be able to police a white person.

105
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: There were there were literally certain jurisdictions where it's like

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: you can't arrest a black a white person. If you

107
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: see a white person committing a crime, there's nothing you

108
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: can do. Don't even call the other white police officers

109
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: about this. This has nothing to do with you. There

110
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: was also just resistance to their authority. So okay, maybe

111
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: it's not on the lot that I can arrest you,

112
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: but I'm arresting you as a white man, and you go,

113
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: I'm not fucking listening to you, nigger, not doing it.

114
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: So you know, there's also that. Then there's black people

115
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 2: that don't respect black police officers. You know. I think

116
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: we talked about I want to say it was Robert Forrester,

117
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: but I might be getting the name mixed up, but

118
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: we talked about the I think it was Robert. Anyway,

119
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: we talked about the doctor who went to LA and

120
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: he wanted to start his practice, and black people were like,

121
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: I don't want a black doctor, right because you were

122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: looked at this listing. Yeah, well now I can finally

123
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: have a white doctor, so I want a black doctor.

124
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: So you have that with police black people being like, fuck, like,

125
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be more disrespectful to you because you are

126
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: a black police officer. I you know, this whole thing

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: of I'm gonna see the community and you and you're

128
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: gonna see the community and me, and we're gonna think

129
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: the best of each other, not necessarily what plays out

130
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: when a black person has a badge and a gun,

131
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: you know. And then also I think another thing we

132
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: watched kind of play out or whatever that like I said,

133
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: we just forget is that theory, and I think it

134
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: relates to stuff like socialism or we'll get this, so

135
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: we'll you know, we're gonna be so radical. We're never

136
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: And there's a reason that many black people do not

137
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: completely disengage and go into the theoretical landscape, and that's

138
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: because you have, in practice, watched theory be devoured by reality. Yes, sure,

139
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: so you know, it's like when people say, you know,

140
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: I think my biggest great with the whole at least

141
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: at the time, and who knows how many these people

142
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: were real. But like the black socialist Twitter movement for

143
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: a couple of years back, which seems to have died

144
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: down to some extent. But one of the reasons I

145
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: was kind of reticent was because it wouldn't it never

146
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: really showed how they were gonna defeat racism on it.

147
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: It was like, we're just gonna move on another, onto

148
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: another playing table that still is relying on these white

149
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: people that we know are racist to play fair. And

150
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, they're not gonna They're not gonna play fair though,

151
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: because racism is all engrossing, eroding, illogical, uncompromising monster that

152
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: you have to fight. These are not This is not

153
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: a situation where they'll go, oh, well, if everyone gets

154
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: a fair share, I'll stop being racist. It's not economic anxiety. No, no,

155
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: it's not. That's why.

156
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: That's why niggas don't want to hear that, And people go,

157
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: what's wrong with job? We were like, no, fuck them.

158
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: It's black people in the same process, but they ain't

159
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: voting for They ain't saying fuck anybody else.

160
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: You know. So no, you know that you can't sat

161
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: you ate that monster. And I think that's what people

162
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: feel like some of these other systems might do, or

163
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: at least, you know, white people will have to comply.

164
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: They don't ever have to comply. No, And that's the point.

165
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: And also the thing is the way white supremacy is,

166
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: it's like breathing in water and air. To them, it

167
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: is what it is. And when you're boring up in it,

168
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: and it is what it is. You don't think nothing different.

169
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: So it's white people there that aren't really truly aren't.

170
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: Racist, but because the system is, they go, well the

171
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: system is, and you go, but there's something wrong with

172
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: the system, and they don't understand you booking up against

173
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: the system that has always been it is what it

174
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: is for them.

175
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: The other thing too, about black police officers, some of

176
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: them actually were harder on the community because they they

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: felt like it was a reflection on them. And because

178
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: you're working in a racist environment where white people do

179
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: a crime, it's not reflection on white people. Black people

180
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: do a crime, it's reflection on black people. We all

181
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: know it. That's why we joke about. Guess the race

182
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: we joke about you know, you watch the news and

183
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: you don't want it to be a black person and

184
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: stuff like that. We so in this society, if I'm

185
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: a black police officer, our fellow white police officers are

186
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: pinning the state of the black community on me via criminality,

187
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 2: you know, the quote unquote worst elements. Then I'm gonna

188
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: feel like I'm gonna take umberge, not to them, I

189
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: start taking umberge to my community. I'm gonna clean this

190
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: up I'm gonna tell these black people what to do.

191
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get in here and beat that beat some heads.

192
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: And so I think people just don't understand that the mentality,

193
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: you know or not, don't understand. They didn't understand the

194
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: time how it would play out because they hope for

195
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: the best, because what they were coming from was a

196
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: situation where only white people were allowed to be cops,

197
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: and you know, that wasn't fair. So it's like, well,

198
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: maybe we can get another thing, you know, now, you know,

199
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: the new thing is there should be no cops at all.

200
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: There's no we don't need any police. You know, We'll see,

201
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: we'll see. I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't

202
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: know if there's even a country with that has no

203
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: police officers at allsh No, But that's you know, that's

204
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: the next radical thing is that, you know, because another

205
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 2: part of this element that people don't talk about with policing.

206
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: One of the reasons black people have always kind of

207
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: until you know, as of recently, probably the last twenty years,

208
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: that has changed. But one of the reasons black people

209
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: have always wanted policing is because there was no policing

210
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: in black neighborhoods when there were white cops, they were like,

211
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: the criminal element of your community can run your community.

212
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 2: We don't give a fuck, right, So if someone gets killed,

213
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: so one gets shot, so one gets ripe, what'll happened

214
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: to a black person, we don't care, you know. And

215
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: so there were people, there were black people at the

216
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: time literally were begging for police because like, we need

217
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: some protection and we would love for it to be

218
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: from within our community since y'all won't come and y'all

219
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: don't care, you know. So it's just it's just a

220
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: fucked up situation overall, you know. But yeah, people thought

221
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: and maybe they still think that that, you know, black

222
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: police can fix it. And what I think is over

223
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: the course of time, and it's still moved faster than

224
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: you would think considered the history of the country, but

225
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: slow on an individual lifetime. Right over the course of time,

226
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: I think we are getting more and more progressive black prosecutors,

227
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: police chiefs, all of that stuff you're seeing it happen.

228
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: It's just so fucking slow, man like it. And because

229
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: it's policing, it'll never be ideal. There'll never be a

230
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: time when it's gonna be even close to perfect or

231
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: good or whatever. But I am seeing progress from black

232
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: people coming into the system and interrupt disrupting the system.

233
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: And you know, and obviously from with the pressure from

234
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: the outside from protesters, community leaders, things of this nature.

235
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 2: But it's a complicated situation that won't be solved by

236
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: just employing black people. Yep, all right, let's get into

237
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: the show. It's a there's a feedback episode, so we

386
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 2: Laugh my butt off. The only time I've seen people

387
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: rent porns in movies, But I do remember buying Hint

388
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: tie at Fye also warnings I suspected moles that the

389
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: anime that son picked up was actually porn. Oh yeah, well,

390
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: if you got hintye, I feel like you can't judge

391
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: you can't ms. Barnes says, old person here. Yes, I

392
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: was the person that reanted the VHS. It's the big

393
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: ass cover that looked like a textbook and the movie

394
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: was only thirty to forty five minutes. Oh that was

395
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: the worst. Yeah, that's the thing. I learned a lot

396
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: about porn from renting porn and being disgusted with the

397
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: results and being like, Okay, this is what I'm not

398
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 2: gonna do.

399
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the thing is Roger's joke about pointing sewer. Yeah,

400
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: because if you go back, it's been years ago I

401
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: did the episode. I kind of broke down, you know,

402
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: the different types of pornography. And the thing is, after

403
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: a while, you'll actually become a port of sewer because

404
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 3: you'd be like, oh, I don't like that director, like

405
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: like like you'll be like I don't like this director,

406
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 3: or I don't like like this particular group, or you know, however,

407
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 3: like you you'll be like, oh I like this actress,

408
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 3: let me see what else she's in, or I don't

409
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: like this actor. I lint, I don't want to see him,

410
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: or I like him. Like you start breaking that shit

411
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 3: down like the Academy Awards.

412
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: YEP, It's like, if I see DJ Yeller film, one

413
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 2: of these dudes places for thirty more seconds in the

414
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: middle of a scene, I think, I'm gonna have to

415
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 2: stop getting this stuff. And that's that's how you end

416
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: up learning like, okay, so no more Yellow Boy productions

417
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: and that's the step.

418
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 3: That's step one, right, or either you be like because

419
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: they do like certain angles and stuff, and particularly when

420
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 3: they do like straight point a lot of people when

421
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: they shoot around, it's like, Okay, I want to see stuff,

422
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: but what I don't want to see is the back

423
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: of his ass the whole shot, like.

424
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: You know, there's other parts that actually moving around on

425
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: the screen. I graduated up to buying the movies from

426
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: the porn channels on cable sad I had to buy

427
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: the movies of classic non description titles like Not the

428
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: Big Booty Chronicles fifty five titles as I shared the

429
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: cable bill with my mom and she would open that

430
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 2: bill first. Sadly, my porn addiction would run me an

431
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: extra one hundred to two hundred dollars a month. Look

432
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: at the Internet has changed my life. Well, mss Bondes,

433
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: you did look out because I remember when PORM was expensive,

434
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 2: and it is like, oh yeah, now it's free. It's everywhere.

435
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: You don't even have to be looking for port. Sometimes

436
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 2: I don't even want to see porn. I'm just on

437
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: Twitter and it's just like somebody retweets somebody fucking somebody

438
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 2: else with just all ad You man, you've been the

439
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: next thing. You know, you see dick suck and you'd

440
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 2: be like, oh, okay, that's what we're doing today. Now.

441
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: Porn just knock taps on your shoulder when you're in public, like, hey,

442
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: I want to see somebody eating simplicity, Like I really

443
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: was on here to see what my friend's birthday party

444
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: pictures look like. Yeah, I mean I was eating breakfast,

445
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: but I mean sure, yeah, I knew what I was

446
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: doing when I followed the Curvey drip. That's on me, right,

447
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 2: that's my fault. Alicia says I was too young the rent,

448
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: but I did used to sneak and watch my mama

449
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 2: when she wasn't home, watch my mama's porn when she

450
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: wasn't home. I think there's a lot of a lot

451
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 2: of people did that. My parents listened to this, so

452
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: redacted sober King says I was the right age, but

453
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: it never worked out for me timing wise. Plus, when

454
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: I turned eighteen, Blockbuster had put hadn't put the mom

455
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: and pop video stores out of business yet, and I

456
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 2: didn't have the guts to go into the same store.

457
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: I've been written video games fro since I was nine,

458
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,760

484
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't have to take a spoon of castor oil. Yep,

485
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,520

528
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,520

534
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: of pocket, But I loved out. Y'all's forgiving. I don't

535
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 2: even know what's forgiving? Heart if just everyone feels like

536
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: they could be in that situation, so they hope that

537
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: they could do something that dumb and get away with

538
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: it and be seen and forgiven. But yeah, I hope

539
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: y'all don't listen. I hope y'all don't do this. Okay,

540
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: only I'm a real friend, A true friend would tell

541
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: you don't do this, oh deleted, immediate take down for them,

542
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: don't even put it out. Don't do this, Viva says, yes,

543
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: save that for the group chat. He rather rather have

544
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: a gift in a job that sauce probably good as fuck,

545
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: sus He says. Now, personally, I wouldn't mess with the

546
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 2: bag in such a public way. But I still think

547
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: firing him was a step too far. Unless it's been

548
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: testing manager for a while and this is just a

549
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: last draw. Yeah that's true. Yeah, we I guess if

550
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: it was a first offense, maybe he would be okay.

551
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 2: But no, I just feel like that's such an unforgivable

552
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: thing to a company because to them like, oh you

553
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: a lose canning right.

554
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: And the thing is, nobody would have known the connection

555
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: of the representation to the company before the fact that

556
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: you tagged them and they find out, oh, this is

557
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: an employee of the company. Like, as a company, you're

558
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: actually making our brand look bad. Like, as a company,

559
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 3: we have to think about that type of thing. Even

560
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: you at your job now, you can't go out and

561
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: say fuck this company. They'd be like, hey, no, you

562
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: must not want to work here no more, because if

563
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: it's this is some shit that you could have bought internally,

564
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: you took it externally, so now it's a problem.

565
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: Then the next episode was episode twenty twenty two. Ten

566
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: years down, we had this is kind of emotional episode.

567
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: We talked about all our sad stuff at the beginning

568
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: and serious stuff. Karen. This from Raven, Karen, I'm so

569
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: sorry for your loss. My father passed last year, and

570
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: now my mother has gotten to the point where we

571
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: think she might have to mention Alzheimer's. I'm actually baby,

572
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm actually flying home in Chicago from California next week

573
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: to take her to the doctor to get a diagnosis

574
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: because she won't let my siblings take care take her.

575
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: I don't pray much, but I'll be praying for you

576
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: to have strength at peace during this process. I could

577
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: say after losing my father that of course the pain

578
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: never goes away, but it gets easier to live with

579
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: as time passes. Jesse says, sorry for your lost care

580
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: I haven't lost a parent yet, but my wife and

581
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: cousin of mine both lost their fathers a few years ago,

582
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: so I have an understanding of how you feel. Y'all should,

583
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: of course take as much time as you need to

584
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 2: grieve Also, I listened to y'all at one point five

585
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: speed and I had to go back and drop it

586
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: to regular speed to listen to your Chipmunk song. I'm

587
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: also so glad that I found your podcast about four

588
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: years ago. I didn't realize how much I lacked black

589
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: voices and more podcast feed until I found you. Now,

590
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: most of the podcasts I listen to a black from

591
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: a lot of your recommendations. Well, I'm glad we could

592
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 2: put some seasoning on it. Okay, sometimes you need that

593
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: you put a little spice on it. You be like,

594
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to go back speak some little old bait.

595
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: I can't be playing no more. Otradlo said, sorry for

596
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: your lost care and losing a parent. That's one of

597
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: the most difficult times in life. Not to get paid

598
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: for it. Karen, you are so right. Grief is something

599
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: that you learned to live with. It never goes away.

600
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: It just gets a bit easier to deal with. My

601
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: mother passed March twenty sixteen. I still have days that

602
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: I cry. Please take time off the process everything before

603
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 2: you go back to work. I'll show your conversation about

604
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,680

605
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: you have for each other. Thank you, baby, thank you. Yeah.

606
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: And that's you know, that's what Karen did. She took

607
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: the week off basically for the rest of the week.

608
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: And you know, I am so glad I did because

609
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: I actually I need I needed it more than I

610
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: thought I needed it, because my mind was taking my

611
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: mind wouldn't rest, my sleep pattern been all over the place.

612
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: So I'm really glad that I took it off and

613
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 3: I got the rest. And then we heard some information

614
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 3: about my uncle, but he's doing better now, So it

615
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:58,680

Speaker 2: This was another five Star episode, Love you Guys, thank you,

627
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: and yeah. As far as uh, just sharing and stuff,

628
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: it was definitely something on the podcast that we had

629
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: to learn to lead into. I think now ten years later,

630
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: social media is really blown up and stuff, and the

631
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: idea of sharing or even what people call like oversharing

632
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: now is what people what people used to call oversharing

633
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: back then is just sharing now. Yeah. But I remember

634
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: when we started, at least with Black Podcast, not a

635
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 2: lot of people using their real government names, not a

636
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: lot of people. It was a lot more like let's

637
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: judge everyone and everything, but tell as little as possible

638
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: about ourselves. And so you know, we had to like

639
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: lean into being like let's talk about personal lives, let's

640
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: talk about you know, these taboo topics that you know,

641
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 2: don't make us always come off like the most like

642
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: above the frame people, you know, which which is just

643
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: something that comes with experience and time doing the show

644
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: and whatnot. So yeah, I appreciate that. Classic R and

Speaker 2: two years ago and it's still hurt. Sending your hugs

655
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: and kisses. And Lakita finally says, just wanted to say

656
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: that I love you guys, and to thank Karen for

657
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: revealing to us that she has always been magic. She

658
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: was she was meant to be here. I agree, we

659
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: thank you. I agree. And then the poll was a

660
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 2: simple one. How many years have you been listening to

661
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 2: the Blackout Tips? Oh? You know, because I always wonder this.

662
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: You know, some people have been with us for the

663
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: for the long haul. Some people just got here. So

664
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 2: the categories were ten years, between five to nine years,

665
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: between one to five years. In less than a year,

666
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: five percent of the audience has been listening to us

667
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: the entire ten years. Wow, real MVPs. You know ay

668
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: podcasts I picked up and put down in ten years, Yes, sir,

669
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: in a year? Howcast I start off like, Oh, these

670
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: might be some cool people they say a couple of things.

671
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, these niggas whack or either they real.

672
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 3: Good but they're not consistent, or either they just take

673
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 3: a you off and you're like, y'all haven't put shit

674
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 3: out into you.

675
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: Right, So thank you. Between five to nine years also

676
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: a hell of accomplishment. Forty two percent of our listeners

677
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: have been living between five to nine years. Oh that's

678
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 2: a huge junk. Forty eight percent have been listening between

679
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 2: one to five years. That's still a lot, and six

680
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: percent is less than a year. And I would say

681
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 2: a lot of those are probably from the vice of

682
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: piece for Game of Thrones. Rebecca says, I'm a newbie here,

683
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: but I love you guys. Congratsing your ten years of

684
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: podcast and I'm a hardcore podcast listener since I've got

685
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 2: ten hours to kill in the warehouse four days a week.

686
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 2: I chew through podcasts and love every moment of yours.

687
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: Cue up the great work, Thank you, Thank you. Zimzi says,

688
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: I haven't been listening as long as ten years, but

689
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: it does feel like I've known you guys forever. I

690
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 2: listen to your show every week on my drive to

691
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: and from work and while I'm just sitting at home.

692
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: Podcasts take up a large chuck of my time each

693
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: week because I haven't so many interests in their podcast

694
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: for everything these days it is I'm so sorry for

695
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 2: your lost care and I appreciate y'all's openness about the

696
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 2: emotions that we don't usually get to see from looking

697
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: at the images people choose to present to the world.

698
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: I lost my dad a few years ago, and it

699
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: really does come in waves even to this day. So

700
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: when Rod said that, I felt it deeply. Thank you

701
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: for everything you do, and I hope you guys have

702

726
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: of to match up with yours. I watch all the

727
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: cw DC shows. Yes, so I have no room to

728
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: talk at all. Jan Jawan says, nah, not a foux cop,

729
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: but there's just so many other options. And I love myself.

730

Speaker 2: I'm good, but get paid. Brother. Sofa King says, I

731
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: tried to watch the pilot of that show with the

732
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: iterational couple in the White House. I made it about

733
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: twenty minutes in before I had to bail out. Alicia says,

734
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: I voted now but to be fair. I don't watch

735
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: much TV in my younger days. I did in Joje

736
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: and a few of his shows, though I know something

737
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 2: of my cousins do. Lakeiita says I won front. I

738
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: used to dog people who like this story is, calling

739
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: them simple minds because I'm an asshole. However, I've always

740
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: loved this Meda character, and I've seen and enjoyed a

741
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: couple of his movies and low Ki I had a

742
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: crush on Tyler. Yes, I've heard the rumors and they

743
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 2: ain't got nothing to do with me. Lol. So when

744
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: whatever gospel play came to Omaha in twenty ten and

745
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: they were like and they said he be there, baby,

746
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: I took my hypocrite dollars, got dawled up and joined

747
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 2: my fellow blacks for a good time. If he's not

748
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 2: for you, don't participate, but don't ruin everybody else's fun

749
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 2: you try to trap Tyler. I'll see you, Kyote, says

750
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: dear Rod and car First, please accept prayer as a

751
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 2: supportive energy for your recent loss. Thank you. Tyler's fair

752
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 2: has not ever been my favorite. No shade, my flavor,

753
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 2: no shade. I have sempled it several times at multiple

754
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 2: family gathering as college dorns and barbershops cross country. The seventies,

755
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 2: blaxportation films nineties hood films filled my palette before I

756
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 2: had a chance to save room for media's offerends. Perry's

757
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: personal story success, philanthropy and his providing opportunities for others

758
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 2: are in inspiration, but my opinion of his home cooking

759
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: is still macaroni saggy peas, all mush, and chicken taste

760
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: like wood. Shout out the Sugarhill Game, I feel. Let's

761
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: get to the next one, which is the last episode

762
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 2: of the week, which is The Office Depot mind Trick.

763
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 2: We returned to the Office Depot right and this one

764
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 2: got my tricked again. So we got two comments on

765
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 2: this episode. One is from Sofa King who says thank

766
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: you for what y'all said about Meghan Marko and Prince Harry.

767
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: Earlier today, I was listening to a podcast that I

768
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 2: usually fuck with and when they started talking about the

769
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: fam let me tell you, the whiteness jumped out of them.

770
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 2: They started calling Meghan everything from Selvish to a titching

771
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: star to Yoko Ono, and then one of the white

772
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 2: woman who was the guest co hoster for the day

773
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: had the audacity to say that Meghan was jealous of

774
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 2: Kate and that Kate is prettier. Y'all. That shit had

775
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: me sitting up straight in my chair hollering, you ragged it.

776
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 2: You got some fucking nerves. I don't see what you

777
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 2: look like. Yo. Why it's always gotta be some drown

778
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: mold rat looking ass white woman who got the audacity

779
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 2: to call a black woman ugly. Yeah, I like that

780
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 2: she didn't call her ugly. She said that the other

781
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 2: white that this white woman was prettier than her. But

782
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 2: but in your soul you felt it. You know, you

783
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:39,959
Speaker 2: took you took that step, like I know what you mean, bitch. Yeah,

784
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: I would say for me, man, the Meghan market thing

785
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: is interesting because I didn't feel like getting on the

786
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: bandwagon of all the let me talk about colonization and

787
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: imperialism ship, because I said, she's still a black woman

788
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: and it's essentially she gonna go over there and them

789
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 2: fucking white people are gon be real fucking racist, and

790
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 2: they have a horrible culture of tabloids and stuff over there,

791
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 2: And I know myself, I can't speak for anyone else,

792
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: but I start feeling bad for people when they're subjected

793
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 2: to that kind of stuff, and so I'm just gonna

794
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 2: get ahead of it and not be on us. She

795
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 2: ain't shit bandwagon, so I don't have to top on

796
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: the you know, on the on the other side to say, well,

797
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: now it's different, guys, like I knew, I would care

798
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: to see this happen. Another thing I didn't like the

799
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 2: whole is she even black things black people try to

800
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: do when they black check each other and shit, she

801
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: looks her mama black, she's black. Come on, I don't

802
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 2: really have time for the parson and shit. And I

803
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: don't mean it in a negative way when black people

804
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: claim you like this, We need it in an inclusive way.

805
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 2: You know. I understand when white people do that shit.

806
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: A lot of times they mean it derogatorily, like you

807
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: are not white. You know what I'm saying When they

808
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: say that, you know you're not You're not really white,

809
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: you know, but no, you're you're black Black. For me,

810
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 2: I've never heard her say anything fucked up about black people,

811
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: So she cool with me. And then the other thing,

812
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: too is a lot of the hubub over it is

813
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 2: still about the just proximity she holds the whiteness.

814
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 3: Yes, likes to talk of the town and everybody's talking

815
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 3: about it.

816
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: Yet she has interrupted this white institution that no one

817
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: ever thought would be anything less quote unquote than a

818
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 2: white institution. So now that you know there's a black

819
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: person over there, people all seem to be more interested,

820
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 2: for good and bad. There's black people who didn't give

821
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 2: a fuck about this before, but now they care. Yes,

822
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 2: this is how it works. There's white people that you know,

823
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 2: thought it was okay or they loved all this shit,

824
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: and now they fucking hate her and all that. But

825
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 2: I think the idea of going on a podcast that

826
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 2: called her Yoko Ono and talking about about she's not

827
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 2: prettier than Kate and shit, you know, there's a lot

828
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 2: of bitter white women who uh idolized that idea of

829
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: being a princess, Yes, and they idolized that idea of

830
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: like royalty and Harry the handsome white man and all

831
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: this shit, and they want to be a part of

832
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: that world. And so to see a black woman essentially

833
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: reject that world and have been rejected by that world

834
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 2: doesn't jib with them. And so they're like, I could

835
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: do it better. Someone else could have done it the

836
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 2: right way, but there's no right way for this shit,

837
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 2: and I think they're mostly hurt that that. You know,

838
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 2: a handsome, white, eligible bachelor ass motherfucker said, I'm choosing

839
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 2: my wife over my family. Yes, he did, and we're

840
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 2: going away because y'all don't know how to fucking act.

841
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: And he was like, I've seen the shit my mama

842
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 3: died because it is y'all ain't gonna kill my wife too.

843
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: Fuck that. Yeah, And I think they don't like that,

844
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: so it comes out with she's not as pretty as

845
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: kit and shit like that. So I don't know, man.

846
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 2: I really tried to stay service level with this ship

847
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 2: and keep it funny because I don't know when you

848
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: get into how deep it gets for people. There's so

849
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 2: many motivations and it can be very ugly for why

850
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 2: the fuck people even care in the first place. So

851
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to keep it light. Trace Windu says, Hey, riding, Karen,

852
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: karens is sorry for your loss of keeping you riding

853
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: your whole family. My thoughts and prayers. As always, it

854
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 2: was so great hearing you all talk about Prince Harry

855
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 2: and Meghan Marco and I'm so overjoyed about them leaving

856
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 2: us singing Royal Rose to be independent. You would think

857
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 2: all the shit talking they said about Meghan, they would

858
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: be happy about this decision. But of course, in the

859
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 2: racist Britt's world, I guess not, Yeah, of course not.

860
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: I still can't get over the revelations.

861
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: They want you to take the abuse and not leave that.

862
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 3: Their thing is, we're gonna abuse you. You say something

863
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 3: is the problem. We basically want you just to shut

864
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 3: the fuck up because.

865
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: Also used to right back. Guess what, we still don't

866
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 2: fuck with you yet.

867
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 3: Decision you anyway, but you know, and then it's almost like, well,

868
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 3: how dare you?

869
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 2: You know, basically, take.

870
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 3: This white man out of the Royal family some ship

871
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 3: that don't even ain't gonna affect nobody really, you know,

872
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 3: outside of the Royal family, ain't gonna affect the average person.

873
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 3: But everybody has an opinion on it.

874
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 2: Yep. So yeah, he goes on to say, Okay, I'll

875
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 2: get over the revelation that it was William in the

876
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 2: end who was leaking fake stories about Kate and Meghan

877
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: not getting along to cover up his own ledged affair.

878
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: Imagine your own family doing some mess like that to you.

879
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 2: It's just too much. I didn't even know that part.

880
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 2: I don't even know who the fuck William is. Okay, cool,

881
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: all right, Like someone told me Harry was wasn't even

882
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 2: in line for the succession or something like, so like

883
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's like what is everybody man about? Man?

884
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I just don't understand this white shit.

885
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 2: Good for Harry and Meghan not trying to be around

886
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: that mess and raise that baby is around love and

887
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: not hate. It's funny. It's easy to follow Gamer Thrones

888
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,959
Speaker 2: rules and ship than it is from you. I can't follow.

889
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 2: They need to put some dragons in that fucking castle.

890
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: They want your boy to learn some names because I'm

891
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 2: I'm not with it, but anyways, that's the same. But anyways, Rod,

892
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,200

906
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: who don't take their job seriously enough are people who

907
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 2: take their job too seriously.

908
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 3: Care the too seriously people dumb people who get on

909

00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 3: any situation is fucking life or death. You've been looking like,

Speaker 3: down on fire. You need to go somewhere, sit down.

913
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 2: Thirty nine percent of people today people who take their

914
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 2: job too seriously are the worst. Sixty one percent say

915
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 2: people that take their job seriously enough of the worst.

916
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 2: Sofa King says, no binary answer to this. One depends

917
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 2: on the job. I mean, sure, a notary who takes

918
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 2: their job too seriously is trash, but just like it

919
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: would be if it was a library or a mall

920
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: security guard or a cashier popeys, But are they really

921
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: worse than an air traffic controller or a first responder

922
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 2: who doesn't take their job seriously enough. Remember that story

923
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: y'all read a couple years ago about the nine one

924
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: one dispatcher who just hain't give a fuck. That's probably

925
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 2: slightly worse than a gung hole notary. Well, it sounds

926
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 2: like you did pick a side, Sofa King, hmm, sounds

927
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 2: like you did pick a side. You said you didn't

928
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: pick a side, but it's sound like you did.

929
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: And it's it's like, I guess for me is I

930
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 3: understand it depends, But for me, I'm gonna tell you

931
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 3: right now, most people they go to their job give

932
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 3: about anywhere between twenty to fifty maybe sixty percent. Most

933
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: people don't give a hundred percent of their job. The

934
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 3: everage person does not. That's why I'm like the people

935
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 3: that take the bitch too seriously because most of y'all y'all.

936
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 2: Know, y'all get an email, go not today. I don't

937
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 2: give a fuck. I'm not doing that.

938
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 3: The fuck that bitch I get back when I So,

939
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people don't give one hundred

940
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 3: percent all the time. So that's why I'm like, no,

941
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 3: the motherfucker that act like is life and death and

942
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 3: everything is a fire. Those people gonn on my nerves

943
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 3: because y'all know, even you, no matter how hard you work,

944
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 3: you have your days where you don't put in one

945
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 3: hundred and ten percent.

946
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 2: Best ass, Karen, RII my candoles is regarding your sad

947
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: news this week. Regarding the poll, I believe Sofa King

948
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 2: is right. I would say the right amount of seriousness

949
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 2: to playfulness for whichever task.

950
00:49:59,560 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 3: Bro.

951
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 2: I was going to say that I want my doctor

952
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 2: to be very serious, but a review of three months

953
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 2: in the hospital change my mind. Since the humor does

954
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 2: wonders for any job. I think respecting one's job, customer's patience,

955
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 2: but not taking oneself too seriously. As best, you two

956
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 2: signed it so adorable on your after your day together.

957
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 2: It was so sweet. Thank you, thank you. We appreciate it.

958
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 2: We were trying our best. M all right, let's get

959
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 2: into the voicemails. We got a couple.

Speaker 6: Yay, Hey, Rod and Karen. This is CHRISA at prop

00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 6: hear you talk about, you know, really cherishing the fact

966
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,360

Speaker 5: For us, because that's.

973
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 6: Something we all could do more of. But I'm just

974
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 6: sending out lots of good energy during this time, and

975
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,919

980
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 2: it's you know listen, is uh. It's this one of

981
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: those things where trying to contract on the good things

982
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 2: seems so obvious, but had much harder than people think.

983
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: Man to stay focused and stay ground and stay grateful

984
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, and I think, you know, easier

985
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: said than done. Don't forget the number seven or four five, five, seven, zero,

986
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 2: one eighty six and the voice MS have to be

987
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 2: two minutes less.

988
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 5: Oh guys, it's Samuel. Just have a message, I guess

989
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 5: giant ten. First of all, my deepest condolences to Karen,

990
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 5: I heard on the passing.

991
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 2: Of your mother.

992
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 7: And the second thing is, I can't believe it's.

993
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 5: Ten years that you guys have been podcasting.

994
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 7: My biggest disappointment is that I've only been listening for

995
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 7: eight of those years. I've been listening to podcast since

996
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 7: two thousand and four, and I never heard of you

997
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 7: guys until I started listening to Twitter back in the

998
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 7: day and then started listening to you guys, and it

999
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 7: opened up this whole white world of black podcast.

1000
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 5: It's been a great eight years for me. Ten years.

1001
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 7: Hope there's ten more or twenty or whatever. But keep

1002
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 7: up the keep it up. It's been another great week

1003
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 7: of shows.

1004
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 2: And thanks, thank you, e mail, thank you baby, shout

1005
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: out the twel YEP. A lot of people discovered us

1006
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: from twelve. Listening to podcast is two thousand and four.

1007
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: I don't even know there was iPods in twenty two

1008
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 2: thousand and four? Was it? What was it even called

1009
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 2: back then? Just cast? I don't know that's a program

1010
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 2: to get it shit. Yep, all right. We got some

1011
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 2: emails as well. The black guy who tips at gmail

1012
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 2: dot com is where you go to email us. Our

1013
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 2: girl Kim dot called in update from the feedback episode.

1014
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 2: I wrote in Hey Rod and Karen, thank you for

1015
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: the well wishes. In the con word for my third baby, Sally.

1016
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 2: I had to say goodbye to Nemo on New Year's Eve.

1017
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 2: He was eight and we rescued each other when he

1018
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 2: was around two. Truly the most heartbreaking experience of my life.

1019
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 2: As I reflect on that day, I know I made

1020
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 2: the right decision. Even in his weakness and pain, that

1021
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 2: little nigga was still a struggle to get into his

1022
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 2: car carrier. The unmitigated God, the audacity helll I had

1023
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 2: to laugh through my tears. I literally said to him,

1024
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 2: that's right, Nemo, you better fight me. Smile face. We

1025
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 2: still have to go. I'm glad I wasn't alone for

1026
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 2: a part of the process, but when my friend arrived,

1027
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 2: I couldn't pick with the car carrier up to bring

1028
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 2: him into the room. I sat it on the floor.

1029
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 2: It just broke down, and I definitely think he knew

1030
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 2: this was it. He was me howling when we got

1031
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 2: to the room and nearly broke me. The staff at

1032
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 2: the vet handled the entire thing with great care. The

1033
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 2: nurse was tearing up and I felt bad. I hear

1034
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 2: vets have a high rate of suicide, and with what

1035
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,879
Speaker 2: they had, what they helped me through.

1036
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have thought about that, but I guess if

1037
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 3: you had to put animals down.

1038
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and with what they helped me through, I can

1039
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: see why. The craziest thing was swiping my credit card

1040
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 2: for the payment. I was barely able to sleep that night.

1041
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 2: I fail him all around me. My cousin invited me

1042
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 2: to come stay with her and the family in Baltimore,

1043
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 2: and I stayed with them for like five days. We

1044
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 2: played board games and watch movies. I made too tuskin

1045
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,720
Speaker 2: chicken pasta and everyone else. Everyone enjoyed it, even the kids,

1046
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 2: and they are picky eaters. I also just sat and

1047
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,919
Speaker 2: played Zelda for hours, made significant strides in my game,

1048
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 2: liled down anything to keep in mind going way as

1049
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 2: the sadness just come. But I'm so happy Nemo was

1050
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 2: in my life. I became so much better than I

1051
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 2: was before him. I still can't believe he's gone, and

1052
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 2: so quickly I found he was experiencing symptoms over Thanksgiving.

1053
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 2: It took him to the vet beginning of November. I

1054
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 2: thought it was his diet, the water quality, anxiety, things

1055
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 2: that could be changed. But a guy diagnosed with aggressive

1056
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 2: cancer December twentieth and my New Year's Eve more thing.

1057
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,479
Speaker 2: His suffering was just too much for me to bear.

1058
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 2: I'm just missing my little Nigga, and I'm gonna celebrate

1059
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 2: her as much as I can. I wonder if any

1060
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 2: of my fellow tippers have lost a pet loved one

1061
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 2: and have any tips on how to navigate living in

1062
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 2: the space they encompassed. I started cleaning, but I can't

1063
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 2: bring myself to get rid of certain items just yet.

1064
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 2: That makes it too real. I know when I get

1065
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 2: back to the work, the moment I look certain friends

1066
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 2: in the I'm gonna lose it. Y'all make me feel

1067
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 2: her and seeing, and for that I'm thankful. Recipes Nemo,

1068
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 2: blessed to you both. Kim Doc, Thanks Kim Doc, and

1069
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for your loss.

1070
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 3: Man.

1071
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 2: No, I've never really had a pet me either, and

1072
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure there are a lot of pet owners out

1073
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 2: there that can understand. Yeah, So you know, like I'm

1074
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 2: I think the We had a dog for like a

1075
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 2: a little bit before I went to college, and I

1076
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 2: came back and the dog was gone because they had

1077
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 2: given them to like a some some family in the country.

1078
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: So I had more Land speaker run around, right, So

1079
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,240
Speaker 2: I'm not really a pet person. Queen Bee says, hey,

1080
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 2: raj oh wait clean Queen b Blue Ivy. This is

1081
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 2: from Lea, who says hey, raj and Karen rag I

1082
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 2: like that. That's news, what's happened. Thanks for another great episode.

1083
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time in my car, so

1084
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 2: listening to you both really makes my rides smoother. I

1085
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 2: went to chime in. I want to chime in on

1086
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 2: the discussion about Blue. I remember some episodes back you

1087
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: made the parallel comparison to people coming from Liz on

1088
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 2: how black people really didn't like Whitney Houston's art Whitney

1089
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,919
Speaker 2: Houston's music at first. When I think about people talking

1090
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 2: about blues looks, especially the features she has from her father,

1091
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 2: which personally I agree with you. She looks like a

1092
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 2: blend of both her parents. It reminds me of how

1093
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: people used to talk about Bobby Christina. I'm black and

1094
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 2: I'm mostly around black folks. So those comments came from

1095
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 2: my community, or at least people I was around and consumed.

1096
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how much Bobby was protected from stuff

1097
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 2: like that, but when she passed, that's all I could

1098
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 2: think about was how just shitty a hand she had

1099
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,919
Speaker 2: was dealt throughout throw no fault of her own, through

1100
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 2: many directions. I hope Blue is protected, which I'm sure

1101
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 2: she is. I know other celebrities don't get the same

1102
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 2: protection when people come sideways as a black woman. Yet

1103
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 2: as I'm biased and I'm glad Blue was protected at

1104
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: all costs. Sorry this email is on, but just wanted

1105
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 2: to point out that I see a lot of parallels

1106
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 2: in the way Bible Christina was treated and how people

1107
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 2: try to come from Blue. People complain about be not

1108
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 2: posting pictures of her family, and she's just such a

1109
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 2: freaking genius, and this recent mess is why. Yes, yep,

1110
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 2: I've been saying it for years. I've said it again.

1111
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 2: Y'all rarely get pictures of those two. She was ahead

1112
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: of the fucking game and so many ways. You see

1113
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 2: all these women that are now, these artists now that

1114
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 2: are on social media and been driven like up the

1115
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 2: wall by it. Yes, they had and I'm not just

1116
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 2: talking to young ones because people like to put it

1117
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 2: on millennials, but like look at Nicki Minaj Man, these

1118
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 2: people have driven her crazy. She really like be out

1119
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 2: there basically making a giving most of her attention to

1120
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 2: the people that hate her. Anyways, thanks for another great show.

1121
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 2: Much love to you both, Leah, thank you, Lil thank you.

1122
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 2: We appreciate it. And yeah, I feel like Blue will

1123
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 2: never see this shit until she's good damn ready, you know,

1124
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 2: until she wants to see it. And this one was

1125

1168
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,160

1169
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 2: you joy and love and your time of lost. Karen,

1170
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: You've been so open about your life. You told us

1171
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 2: about your adoption and your birth mom's mental health. You

1172
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 2: didn't have to do any of that, and I'm sure

1173
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 2: that a lot of people, include youself, have cried and

1174
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 2: healed because of your willingness to share. Please take all

1175
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 2: the time you need to heal. I've experienced a lot

1176
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 2: of loss from childhood to now, and people have always

1177
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 2: told me it's life and just suck it up and

1178
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 2: move on. It's not that simple and each individual needs

1179
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 2: time to heal differently. Again, thanks for your openness and

1180
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 2: may and may you and your family be comforted at

1181
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 2: this time as always, Thank you. Baby. Yeah, that's fucked up,

1182
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 2: it's life. Just move on.

1183
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 3: Because they don't want to deal with it because they

1184
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 3: haven't dealt with their own issues like that. Like that's

1185
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 3: why people tell people to get over and move on. Right,

1186
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 3: That's the main reason why, because they don't want to

1187
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 3: deal with it because it quote unquote makes them feel uncomfortable,

1188
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 3: and people don't like to feel uncomfortable.

1189
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 2: A quel right saying, Episode to twenty twenty two high

1190
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 2: Ridy Karens episode almost took me out, Karen, I'm so

1191
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 2: sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I'm lifting you

1192
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 2: up in love and like you all really monkst had

1193
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 2: you really are? You really almost had me on the

1194
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 2: verge of throwing myself on the ground and weep in

1195
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,040
Speaker 2: this episode when you were talking about relationships and I

1196
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 2: said marriage is real, I almost hit a wild slide

1197
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 2: like a Mary j Blige, I was your love, your

1198
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 2: secretary wildslide. I was able to pull myself together until

1199
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 2: Karen said you loved me unconditionally. At that point I

1200
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 2: had to keep myself from howling like that man and

1201
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 2: the means for the episode of a y'alla fixed my life.

1202
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 2: I was down. I know Rodger's uncomfortable with the idea

1203
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 2: of being relationship goals. But thank you for being honest

1204
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 2: about the ups and downs of marriage and relationships. The

1205
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 2: truth that you all were speaking was amazing. I just

1206
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 2: wanted to let you know that I appreciate you both

1207
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 2: for being willing to be so open and honest about

1208
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,959
Speaker 2: the things that are going on in your lives. Take

1209
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 2: care of Quia. Thank thank you baby. Yeah, you know,

1210
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 2: like I said, it took us a long time to

1211
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 2: even get to the point to share any of some

1212
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 2: of this stuff, Like you know, I think people it's

1213
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 2: just uncomfortable. And then also the world so ugly people

1214
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 2: you shit against you that you told them yourself. We

1215
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 2: see it all the time. So it was like, you know,

1216
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 2: I'm struggling with alcohol addiction or something. I went to

1217
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 2: rehab and the first thing that happened when people get

1218
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 2: mad at them, you fucking alcoholic rehab bitch, and you're like,

1219
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 2: what I told you that you didn't discover it right?

1220
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 2: You are all smoking. This is from mssrs Spah. I'm

1221
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 2: actually surprised that this is news that you had started

1222
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 2: with the no smoking policy. I thought this was a

1223
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 2: fairly common with a lot of at will employers. I

1224
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 2: remember about fifteen years ago having a sales job with

1225
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 2: Scott's Lawn Service to fertilize the people, and during my

1226
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 2: hiring process, I had to provide them with hair samples

1227
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 2: to not only check the for marijuana and other drugs,

1228
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 2: but for nicotine too. They would not have hired me

1229
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 2: if I was a smoker. It was a new policy

1230
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 2: for them at the time, so they gave them their

1231
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 2: incumbent employees six months to quit or they or they

1232
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 2: too would be let go. They said they were doing

1233
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 2: it to combat Horizon health insurance costs. Sounded like some

1234
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: bullshit to me, but I didn't smoke, so I didn't

1235
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 2: really care. Thinking back on it, they had to be

1236
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 2: fucked up for though. They had to be fucked up

1237
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 2: for those who had the job who were being forced

1238
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 2: to quit or possibly lose their job over something that

1239
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 2: wasn't illegal. But with Scott's being an at will employer

1240
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 2: and not having a union, it didn't surprise me. A

1241
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 2: lot of folks simply felt like they had no recourse

1242
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 2: but to quit. Yep, what a CEO is supposed to

1243
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 2: take a pay cut just for your health care? I

1244
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 2: don't think so, fired everybody. Donna Wright saying psychology question. Okay, hi,

1245
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 2: Rod and Karen. I love the show. I especially love

1246
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 2: how you speak so freely about psychological terms such as trauma, bonding,

1247
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 2: and gas lighting. How are you both so knowledgeable about

1248
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 2: things that I have to pay two hundred dollars an

1249
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 2: hour to discuss with a professional? Are you are your

1250
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 2: college degrees in psychology? Would you share some of your

1251
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 2: personal experiences you may have had going to see a

1252
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 2: therapist yourself? Well, I have not seen the therapist that's

1253
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 2: putting that out there. That's the goal. My insurance just

1254
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 2: started covering that, by the way. So, but as far

1255
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 2: as learning those trump those terms of stuff, it's mostly

1256
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 2: just been online man talking to people, and then whenever

1257
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 2: you hear some new ship, I go look it up

1258
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 2: and read read about it. You know, I read. I

1259
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 2: read a lot about last year, what was the book

1260
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 2: Conflict Is Not Abuse was a great book on just

1261
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 2: like how to deal with conflict, how to deal what

1262
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 2: the difference is between conflict and abuse, and how our

1263
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 2: online culture and the way that we're navigating the world

1264
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 2: is starting to kind of erode the line between two.

1265
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 2: There used to be like a definitive line between I

1266
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 2: don't like this bitch and this bitch is an abuser,

1267
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,439
Speaker 2: Like there used to be a line, and there's much

1268
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 2: less of a line now because of how we've incentivized it.

1269
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, there's no training here or anything. We're

1270
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 2: just thoughtful people and that's and and then we just

1271
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 2: try to learn, you know, talk to people and what

1272
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 2: I read and talk about. I'll talk to Karen, you know,

1273
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 2: all the time about So we just kind of go

1274
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 2: back and forth. But we're definitely not you know, like

1275
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 2: it's no class or anything.

1276
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 3: Too, you know, and look and looking all my life,

1277
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 3: I've always observed like look at look looked at people's

1278
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 3: lives and what to do and what not to do

1279
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 3: based off of their lives.

1280
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 2: And I am the type of person even to today.

1281
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 3: I like to listen to old people talk and honey

1282
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 3: and truth be told old people have some stories for

1283
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 3: your ass, And next thing, you know, you actually be

1284
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 3: learning and picking up even though you be like, oh,

1285
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 3: this old person so born when I was a kid.

1286
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 2: But now I'm like, oh, theyn't know what the fuck

1287
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 2: they was talking about. I just didn't understand that at

1288
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 2: the time. Also, like I like to look shit up

1289
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 2: because I don't like just using terms wrong right. So

1290
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 2: that's another thing too. So like you know, and when

1291
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 2: I'm and when I learned something, I you know, this

1292
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 2: is our platform, so I try to share it with

1293
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 2: the audience. I try to share it with Karen and

1294
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 2: my loved one. So, you know, when I learned and

1295
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 2: went read up on like narcissistic personality disorder, I wanted

1296
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 2: to know it specifically exactly what that was and what

1297
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 2: the difference between that and just somebody who is narcissistic

1298
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 2: or because we all have narcissistic trades, what's the difference

1299
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 2: between someone who is a narcissist is someone that has

1300
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 2: like narcissistic personality disorder. I learned about flying monkeys this year,

1301
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, like what the fuck? Last year, I'm like,

1302
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 2: what is a flying monkey? You know? And and so

1303
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 2: a lot of times it's just me trying to make

1304
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 2: sense of this world. And a lot of times I

1305
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: feel affirm by it because I'm like, oh, I've experienced

1306
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 2: this is what I'm experiencing in my life right now,

1307
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 2: and now I know now. So there's a downside to it.

1308
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 2: You know, some of these terms have come common in

1309
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 2: the cultural lexicon, and all of a sudden, people, you know,

1310
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 2: this bitch didn't give me a hot mustard sauce at McDonald.

1311
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 2: She's a narcissist, you know, like get I get that

1312
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 2: some people probably feel like it's overused, and it can be.

1313
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 2: But I like to know the definition of things so

1314
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 2: that when we talk about it, you know, it can

1315
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 2: at least be close to right. Happy New Year's congratulations

1316
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 2: and thank you. This from sugar Babe, who writes in Hi,

Speaker 2: what you do. I truly appreciate both of your takes

1325
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,439

1326
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:26,839
Speaker 2: first foray into podcasting and remained one of my favorites.

1327
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 2: I finally got my the Blackout Tips holiday card in

1328

01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 2: for that card, I was like, I mean when I

1334
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 2: got the art back for that, I was like, we

1335
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,720

Speaker 2: Condolences to Karen Is for my girl Alegra Hello you too, Karen.

Speaker 2: appreciate your continued to open this and trust in us

1339
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 2: to share your story personally. It makes my heart feel

1340
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 2: full each time you talk about on an intimate level.

1341
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 2: I truly respect you and Rod's version of marriage. As

1342
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 2: for that's that's that's that's a perfect phrase. I do

1343
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 2: feel like it's a version of marriage because everybody's shit

1344
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 2: is different, you know. I think that's one of the

1345
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 2: problems we sell this homogenous ass version of like this

1346
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 2: is what marriage is, and it's not. It's not one

1347
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 2: size fit all. It's not the same for any people.

1348
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 2: Two three, five, I'm your fuck. I mean, it's not

1349
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: the same for anyone. And if as we stop doing

1350
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 2: that to each other, then maybe will stop being so

1351
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 2: stressed out if we're making the quote unquote wrong decision

1352
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 2: every week or they that's for the rest of the

1353
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 2: shows this week. Ultimately laughs so hard at you two

1354
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 2: and your random acts of silliness. The intro to the

1355
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 2: Balls Deep made me laugh for a good five minutes,

1356
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 2: especially your impression of future Rod I died, thank you. Yeah,

1357
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 2: that's behind the pay will. It was a lot of

1358
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 2: a lot of wacky stuff happening, guys. Hawaiia waia. You know,

1359
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 2: I haven't had that much fun doing impressions and stuff

1360
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 2: in a long time. Yeah, well she's talking about just

1361
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,799
Speaker 2: the one that's like, you know, this is the future.

1362
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 2: You know that's yes, So you know I enjoy doing

1363
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 2: that type of stuff. I think the last time I

1364
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 2: really got to let loose like that was when I

1365
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 2: did the Black History trailer.

1366
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: In the world with black history is outlawed. One man

1367
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: has to be all the historical black people throughout time.

1368
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 8: To teach his class what it means to have black.

Speaker 2: Sohh the Hamster. It was one of the earliest ones,

1413
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 2: and I found myself drawn to your thoughtfulness sense. It's

1414
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,680
Speaker 2: the humor and love and acceptance of blackness. I can

1415
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 2: specifically recall listening to the four local episode with forty Acres,

01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 2: are stuck with me, like your dick is not your friend,

1420
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 2: especially that one time Rod ranted about not even being

1421
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 2: free from it at the A when you get old.

1422
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 2: After that old general got caught up. There was also

1423
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 2: people ain't shit, But the way I felt y'all were

1424
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 2: saying it was more of a sympathetic understanding of the

1425
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 2: general human shortcomings we all have. You guys have been

1426
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 2: with me virtually through not in this task, long drives,

01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 2: loss of a grandparents, and so many other times when

1429
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 2: I needed a distraction or levity. I'm glad. I'm glad

1430
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 2: I've been able to witness the growth and progress of

1557
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 2: got to say, Karen, finding your bit moji made me

1558
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 2: feel like a stock. According to Facebook, you haven't used

1559
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 2: one since twenty seventeen. Oh, I didn't realize that. My bad,

1560
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 2: So I had to go through many of your photos

1561
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 2: to find it. Rod your bit moji was easier to find.

1562
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 2: I apologize for the buckles. Normally pillows I make don't

1563
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 2: have the don't have the I guess buckles, but I

1564
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 2: wanted to include a zipper so you'll be able to

1565
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 2: fill them at your leisure. Those who these have lavender

1566
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 2: and cameramel flowers seeds in them and the combination can

1567
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 2: be soothing. Just wanted to wish you a happy holidays

1568
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 2: and thank you all for that. For all that you

1569
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 2: guys have provided. Karen, I wanted to specifically thank you.

1570
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 2: Over the years, you've reached out periodically with parenting advice

1571
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 2: that has kept me saying. Your perspective helped grounding ground

1572
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 2: me during many a time when I was blaming myself

1573
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,719
Speaker 2: for my son's failures. He's still not at one hundred percent,

1574
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 2: but they and things aren't the greatest. But I'm able

1575
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 2: to move forward in part because of your encouragement and support.

1576
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 2: That is one of the many reasons I took the

1577
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 2: time to make these for you guys as thanks for

1578
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:56,200

1618
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,519

1619
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,080

1623
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 2: oh god, another year. I don't know why I thought

1624
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 2: this was a good idea. I'm always in here doing

1625
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 2: all the like, you know, I'm ordering everything and I'm

Speaker 3: Cuts and shit and happy to send it.

1629
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,800

01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 2: I am more than happy for him to send it. Right.

1632
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 2: Care doesn't have to do all the work. So I'm

1633
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 2: in here, like, why did I think this is a

1634
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 2: good idea? Again? I hate this part. And then slowly

1635

Speaker 2: y'all started to get y'all's letters, y'all start to get

1638
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 2: just to see people happy, to have that connection with

1639
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 2: our fans in a way that everybody can't. This is

1640
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 2: the first year that too many people wanted one. We

1641
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 2: didn't even have enough cars. I had to start sitting

1642
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 2: y'all cars from the last two and three years we

1643
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 2: had left over that we still have some, but thank y'all. Man,

1644
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,639
Speaker 2: y'all are so talented, y'all so we I'm so proud

1645
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 2: of the audience we have built. Man, Like I feel

1646
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 2: like to me as a podcast listener, the audience is

1647
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 2: a reflection of the host and not just us. Every

1648
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 2: single podcast, So if you have a podcast with nasty

1649
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 2: mean people are gonna have nasty mean listeners. Are you

1650
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 2: have podcasts? Well, you know, if their whole thing is

1651
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 2: I'm an asshole and I'm offensive, then that's who's gonna

1652
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 2: listen to their show, and it's gonna come back to them.

1653
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,839
Speaker 2: And even when it comes to people not being giving,

1654
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 2: people not wanting to like, you know, chip in and

1655
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 2: like support folks, that's because you're not supportive. That's because

1656
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 2: you don't you don't believe in putting that out in

1657
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 2: the world. So why would anyone else do it to you?

1658
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 2: And I feel like, if nothing else, our audience has

1659
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 2: been a complete reflection of the values that we represent

1660
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 2: here and with few exceptions, And I'm so happy and

1661
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 2: proud and grateful and you know, and affirm by y'all's

1662
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 2: support and by you know, even to take the time

1663
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 2: to make a pillow like that. To me, it's just like,

1664
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:10,600
Speaker 2: oh my god, I can't believe somebody would do that.

1667
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,719
Speaker 2: stuff that just like blows us away on a constant level.

1668
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 2: So thank you, Cary said you wanted to say something

1669
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 2: before we got out of here.

1670
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 3: Yes, I wanted to tell everybody just thank you, thank

1671
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 3: you for hearing me up on social media and people

1672
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 3: reaching out to me individually and things like that. It

1673
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 3: ms more to me than you guys will ever know,

1674
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 3: because you know, I know that I'm loved, but it

1675
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 3: meant something to me to share the death of my

1676
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 3: mother with you guys, you know, because you guys kind

1677
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 3: of are are an extension part of us. You know,

1678
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 3: some peoples telling me, you know that I was brave

1679
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 3: and things like that and what, And I.

1680
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 2: Didn't really think about it. I don't. I guess I

1681
01:28:58,439 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 2: didn't really consider it as being brave.

1682
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 3: But I guess nowadays, quote unquote would be considered brave

1683
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,559
Speaker 3: to share a personal moment like that, because you know,

1684
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 3: for a lot of people, you're vulnerable. You're actually allowing

1685
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 3: people to get a glimpse of your life. And because

1686
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,719
Speaker 3: of social media and how mean and hateful people are,

1687
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 3: a lot of people go, no, no, I won't show

1688
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 3: you anything of my life because I don't want to

1689
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:23,960
Speaker 3: deal with the backlash and people, you know, tear me down.

1690
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 3: But I trust our audience, and I love our audience,

1691
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 3: and I know that our audience will be a cushion

1692
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 3: for me to allow me to be as open and

1693
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 3: as honest as I desire.

1694
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 2: To be, and they will be understanding to that.

1695
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 3: And I also another reason why I kind of decided

1696
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 3: to share it to an extent, because I know there

1697
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 3: were other people out there who have lost parents, who

1698
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 3: might be going through the process of losing parents, or

1699
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 3: who just may have just lost a parent like I did,

1700
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:52,679
Speaker 3: you know, to let them know that you're not alone.

1701
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,640
Speaker 3: There are other people out here. Because the thing is

1702
01:29:54,640 --> 01:30:00,120
Speaker 3: about death and dying and just the world is so crazy, y'all.

1703
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:02,559
Speaker 3: But the biggest trick of the world is the world

1704
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:04,479
Speaker 3: making everybody think that they the owner one day, the

1705
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 3: first one ever deal with something, and that's not true.

1706
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 3: Whatever you're dealing with in your life, somebody somewhere else

1707
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:11,679
Speaker 3: dealt with it before. And like Roger said, they don't

1708
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:13,839
Speaker 3: figured it out while you're trying to figure out the answer.

1709
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,560
Speaker 2: It's somebody that got to answer somewhere, you know.

1710
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 3: So it's just was very comforting to let me know

1711
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 3: and people cared and for the reaching out and the love.

1712
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:25,799
Speaker 2: Y'all. Just don't know.

1713
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 3: How much that got me through week, you know, because

1714
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie, it's been a rough weeks. Some

1715
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 3: days have been better than others, y'all. You know, some

1716
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 3: days I was fine, Some days I wasn't find Some

1717
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 3: days I was sleeping, some days I wasn't sleeping. You know,

1718
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 3: I've kind of been all over the place, you know,

1719
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 3: things been stressing me out and things like that. But

1720
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 3: I know that I have you guys love, and you

1721
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 3: guys support and you know, and as wild as it

1722
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:53,679
Speaker 3: may sound, I can feel your energy. You know, people

1723
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 3: you know have been sending positive vibes and energy and

1724
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 3: things like that.

1725
01:30:57,160 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 2: I can actually feel that.

1726
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 3: And it's been one thing that's kind of keeping me going.

1727
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 2: And truth be told, the one men and Roger talked

1728
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 2: about this off the my the one consistent thing in.

1729
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:10,479
Speaker 3: My life right now is the podcast. It's the thing

1730
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 3: that's consistent. It's the thing that I know when I

1731
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 3: come here, I am in my safe space and my

1732
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 3: safe zone, you know, just because this is what I do.

1733
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 2: This is who I am, you know.

1734
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:23,640
Speaker 3: And it made me realize, hey, hey, this is what

1735
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 3: I do and I was born to do this, if

1736
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:30,920
Speaker 3: that makes sense, like this is my quote unquote purpose.

1737
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:35,519
Speaker 3: And once you find that, life is more fulfilling. And

1738
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 3: also me and Roger talked about it too.

1739
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 2: It also makes me.

1740
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 3: Think about spending time, spending more time with loved ones

1741
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 3: and people that love me, friends and things like that.

1742
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 3: And as I've gotten over to y'all, my definition of

1743
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 3: family has changed, my definition of friendship has changed, and

1744
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 3: I want to be around people who actually love and

1745
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 3: support me unconditionally. So me and about to talk about

1746
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:02,960

01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 2: We did a nerd off last Friday, I believe, which

1786
01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:55,200
Speaker 2: Sterling was back on. We finally got Sterling back on

1787
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 2: the nerd Off. We have a lip smacking good that

1788
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:01,679
Speaker 2: we secretly recorded that has come out this weekend hopefully.

1789
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:06,719
Speaker 2: And yeah, we stay so we stay working. I think,

1790
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 2: you know, I know for me, the podcast when I

1791
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,719
Speaker 2: go through times of trouble and stuff, anxiety, all kinds

1792
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 2: of shit, this podcast is much a y'all like it's

1793
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 2: been here for us. It's been here for us too,

1794
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 2: So it's been something that's a safe place that we

1795
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 2: could come to where we're not judging each other. We're

1796
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 2: having fun, but we're also being open and honest, and

1797
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 2: we have an audience that that that that rewards that,

1798
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 2: and so yeah, this whole thing has been like, you know,

1799
01:34:35,479 --> 01:34:39,439
Speaker 2: we've been doing work, not just on some workaholic shit,

1800
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:43,000
Speaker 2: but because sometimes you just need that that thing you're

1801
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 2: gonna accomplish that day that you like, I did that

1802
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 2: and I was able to like to release for a

1803
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 2: little bit. And so you guys have been that. You know,

1804
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 2: we don't necessarily go to therapy, but in a weird way,

1805
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 2: the podcast is kind of therapy for us. Most people

1806
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 2: don't sit down and talk with their wives for a

1807
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:05,280
Speaker 2: couple of hours a day, five six times a week,

1808
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 2: they don't, which is which is a reflection on marriage

1809
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 2: if you think about it. But still, let's not let's

1810
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 2: not get too dark. Let's just talk about the positives. Uh,

1811
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 2: we get to do that. And so anyway, thank you

1812
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:18,240
Speaker 2: guys until tomorrow. I love you. I love you too.

1813
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 5: Wo
