00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: always have to mention that one the Detroit techno one

59
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: with the man like the bombed out Car, No justice,

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:34,920

62
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: and see cops starting to like dance a little bit

63
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: to like what we're yelling at them kind of goes

64
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: it's about us. We felt like st just these racist

65
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: wait wait wait yea, whose streets are streets? Were wrong? Though,

66
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: sometimes because sometimes some white people be like whose streets

67
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: are streets? Some like yours? Like these specific streets are

68
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: not yours. No, definitely not that street, says Malcolm X.

69
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Our streets. I'm on the intersection of the MLK and Crunchhaw.

70
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: These are our streets? Are Mama? Do Before we get

71
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: to know you and let our listeners get to know you,

72
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: we'll just kind of walk through what we're going to

73
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: talk about in this episode. Um, you know, I think

74
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: it's a great time to talk about you know, Mama

75
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: Doo wrote a brilliant piece and Vulture that I really

76
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: encourage many people to read about navigating Hollywood and the

77
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: policing of black voices in the industry. So I think

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: we'll get a little bit of talk from especially you

79
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: and Lacy, because you know, you guys are know how

80
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: to Hollywood while black, uh, and kind of get some

81
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: takes on that, as well as talk about AMC going

82
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: mask off, then mask on or mask off again, depending

83
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: on if the mask is literal or metaphorical. Um, but

84
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: we'll get into that as well as conservatives are like,

85
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: they're acting like they're canceling Jimmy Kimmel for his there's

86
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: a lot of weaponizing of the moment I'm seeing from

87
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: really bad faith actors, especially on the right, who suddenly

88
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: forget what their entire platform is built on. So we'll

89
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: talk about that and maybe the re emergence of junk

90
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: food in the pandemic, because we are just trying to

91
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: comfort ourselves. Uh. But first, Mama, do what's something from

92
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing about who you are? Um.

93
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: I tried to search if there's any trap remixes of

94
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: the hip hop Harry beat. I'm deejaying a party later,

95
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I want I need people to

Speaker 1: music there's no like real aesthetic aside from everything is good,

162
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: Everything is fun, and I just like to surprise people,

163
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Like I played the Avenger's theme at a party once

164
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: and everybody got really mad at me. And then I

165
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: mixed it. I mixed it with Asap ferg and and

166
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:35,280

167
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: that beat Boy changed the whole vibe of that. I'll

168
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: put a snippet of I put a snippet of it

169
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter once, but I deleted it because I was embarrassed.

170
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: I was like, this is not who I am. Uh

171
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: mam wadud. What is something you think is underrated? Something

172
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: I think is underrated? I have to say the original

173
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: motion picture Space Jam? Oh wow, Okay, yeah, I think

174
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: I think it's underrated as a movie because I think

175
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: people always are like, yo, Michael Jordan can't act. I'm like, yeah,

176
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: but like I can't act. But he also had to

177
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: act against like random green things running around like actual people,

178
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, like um, and I think that you know,

179
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: there wasn't that much in the Jordan doc about Space

180
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: Jam at all, but like there was like that good

181
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: there's like that good eight minute chunk where it was like,

182
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: oh cool, they built that court and it was again

183
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: it was mostly about how he was using that time

184
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: for his career when I would have settled for a

185
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: full on space jam like featurette behind the scenes, right,

186
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: I would love to have seen clips behind the scenes

187
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: of that. Also, like as an actor acting with their

188
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: not being stuff, They're like, it's so hard so for

189
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: you to have limited acting experience, and then they're like,

190
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: now this thing is next to you and it's fly

191
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Like that's a lot. He's literally looking at nothing, look

192
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: at this tennis ball and cry like exactly, and people

193
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: are out here playing like wild wild wild zone defense

194
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: on him, and he's out here here pretending that like

195
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: know what is on him. And I think in the

196
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: same ship with like Star Wars, like the prequel movies,

197
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: Like there's definitely like a renaissance of them now, but

198
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: like they're pretty bad, but I feel bad. There's like

199
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: grown as people acting against nothing, not talking, Like there's

200
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: six Shakespearean actors who went to like you know, Royal

201
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: Shakespeare Academy that know how to do that stuff that

202
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: like it's just the stage. But then there's like Hayden

203
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Christensen who's like I gotta talk to the jar who

204
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: is this nigger? Like I felt so bad so I

205
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: mean it ruined Jake Lloyd's entire career basically. You know

206
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: yo listen that. I mean we talked like imagine like

207
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: that was analog Twitter. You know, it's back when you

208
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: needed to write a letter and say kill yourself to

209
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: someone like yeah exactly, just be like oh hunder forty

210
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: and set that out people up to their premier because

211
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: you're like, I know he's gonna be there. I'll get

212
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: I'll wait with all the fans like Mary's nine years old.

213
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: And then it was like this is justified, and I'm like,

214
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: what do you? Never wouldn't be so bad that somebody

215
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: will use their gas money to pull up to me.

216
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: I never want to be so bad that people are like, nope,

217
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm taking a day off work, kids play, going to pizza.

218
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: I gotta go tell Lazy how bad she isn't oh,

219
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: I can't imagine ever doing anything so bad that like

220
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: in like in Hollywood, in a movie where people gotta

221
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: pull up to me at like t J Max and

222
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, you better be in the clearancile who

223
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: they didn't pay you anything at all like, that's just

224
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: bad rude. So yeah, and like shout out to Star

225
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: Wars fandom, not racist at all, some of the best

226
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: people I know. Yeah, it's like such a such a

227
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: mixed bag over there. Yeah, it seems to be pretty nice. Yeah,

228
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: what about this mom would do? What do you think

229
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: it's something that is overrated? Something that's overrated? Wow, I'm

230
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: about to make it kind of hot. I don't know

231
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: how I think about it. What we love. It's cold

232
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: in here, you can turn up, you can turn it

233
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: up a little bit. I think I think, I know

234
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: it's untem this is gonna catch me some flak. But

235
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: like I think, I think shop Flid is overrated. Oh

236
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: the silence is that we're gonna do. He's gonna be

237
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: a mature like that. I think chocolate is overrated. Oh

238
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: just okay, look, present your case, my honor, Thank you gladly.

239
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's as popping as people make

240
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: it out to be. And that and I'm not saying that.

241
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: I think that, Like, there's definitely chocolate industrial complex in

242
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: there too, like holidays and chocolate, right, there's other stuff

243
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: that's also good. And I think that because you're like

244
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: looking at a chocolate woman right now. So it's just yeah,

245
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: and the and that's the thing. I'm sorry I'm saying.

246
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you're not a sweet person. I'm

247
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: just saying that chocolate has been treated as the sweetest

248
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: thing in the world for two arguably is I just

249
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm that and it's arguably is that's the thing. And

250
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: also to your point, is arguably isn't. So it's I

251
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: don't think it's as popping as it should be and

252
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: for me personally, and again he asked me, I just

253
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: want to be clear just what I just know you

254
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: can have that opinion. I mean, it's just like how

255
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump stares directly into the sun and tries to

256
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: fight it, you know, during a clinpse, Like you can

257
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: fight anything, So if you want to fight, you can

258
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: fight the sun. You know. The part is that I

259
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: feel like you want me to go to like the

260
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: candy out after Valentine's they just staring down chocolate now

261

262
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: to off, Like that's not how I am. So just

263
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: sucking all the Russell Stover's boxes off the shovel, like yeah,

264
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: who is that needs to just go ahead and keep

265
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: it two virgils and just tell us why you tell

266
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: us that they're the last minute chocolate for your side

267
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: girls and for when you forgot about your wife. Have

268
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: any of you had to explain the virgils thing to anybody?

269
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: You're like people people saying like a Virgil to virgils,

270
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: like yeah, you know, like we've been in bondage for

271
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: about what eight virgils? People like what, it's really funny

272
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: and like, well is that, Like I'm what's like, okay,

273
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: so Virgil Ablow only gave fifty never mind, you know,

274
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: it's a whole story. Like you know, it might not

275
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: be for you, you know, but you don't know. You

276
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: don't go because I'm like, finally we're getting like some

277
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: of our own language back that feels like it can't

278
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: be sold and bought by white folks for money because

279
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: they love to take. Like remember Fleek they destroyed that

280
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: in a week. Remember for Shizl. I'm still mad about

281
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: for Chisel we had for ship hours before they were

282
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: like for shiz All my nansel and I was like,

283
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: well there it goes snoop, pack it up. So I'm

284
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: glad that we keep that at Hotep jokes because they

285
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: don't get right. So we were like, what dr Umar

286
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: and why should I know what Yakubian. I will say though,

287
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: the funniest shiit to me in the world is seeing

288
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: a kufy on a white person. That's like when Nancy

289
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Pelos never taken any say cloth. I'm like, bro, they

290
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: say't even right, it's nothing that you thought you did it.

291
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: But yeah. It was the first time I had gone

292
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: to Ghana in West Africa. I had met this Canadian

293
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: man who married a local woman and basically became an elder,

294
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: like a chief of his area. So he had the

295
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: designation of Nana so he was called Nana Dave. He

296
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: was like this, yes, and he had had this, he

297
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: had this Ghanaian wife. They are they are full out

298
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: kente like you know, because that's a very Ghanaian thing,

299
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: like they're a kinta cloth. And I saw this. I

300
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: was like, are you for I'm like this Canadian. I mean,

301
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: he's he's out here, he's like building a hotel and

302
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: like trying to do something like and live in the community.

303
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: But it was like very jarring when you see like

304
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: white people were like oh yeah, Like I had to

305
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: get out of there. And I had just come to Africa,

306
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'd be sick, bro if I was

307
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: West Africa. And I went about to West Africa and

308
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: some dude named Spencer was running my town. I beat

309
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: the ship out of there, like I was like this,

310
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: and people na Chad, Like it is not not Chad.

311
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: He runs our village. That's not not Taylor, that's not

312
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: like him, and that's not Karen, and that's not not Kaylee. Hey,

313
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't I could. I couldn't do it. I

314
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: don't literally, Like I think that's the why I think

315
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: about Africa is that people don't realize that. Like some

316
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: people are like, yo, I can't do this America ship

317
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: and they're black and they go there, and there's some

318
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: people who are white, like I can't do America ship

319
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: where things are set up for you to be the successful,

320
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: either honestly or not, and you go to Africa and

321
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: then you somehow find yourself running ship that's white supremacy

322
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: right right right exactly, full circle like on that savior

323
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: behavior where I'm gonna provide your jobs and savior behavior.

324
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: Gotta let it, baby, Yeah, Dave, Dave, I can't. I'm

325
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: not joking. I gotta find this photo. It was like

326
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: a J. C. Penny Mall portrait of like distinct like

327
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: like you know how these portraits look normally of like

328
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: a village elder or something like. It's very stoic imposed

329
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: and just to see this dude who was like sun

330
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: burnt to ship, uh and like with his wife but

331
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: very like we're out here, uh, is surreal photo. It's

332
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: also like it's like wild Olan mills, like kind of blue,

333
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: kind of little textured background and it's got to Africa

334
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: African person and not the opposite African person and they

335
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: just standing there. Oh god, it's trigger uh. And finally, Mamado,

336
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: what is a myth? What is something people think is

337
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: true that you know is false, or what is something

338
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: people think is false that you know is actually true.

339
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: I think the thing that I think is false that

340
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: a lot of people assume it is true is that

341
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Desani is water. I in my idea, do not believe.

342
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: I have no idea what is coming from that? Yeah?

343
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: Under and myths and stuff like shots at me, like

344
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: he didn't even talk about that Pepperoni pineapple, Hallepeenio pizza.

345
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: You were eating. Before we started, I let it rock.

346
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: I talked to God and I was like, yeah, y'all

347
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: need to get your taste buds up. Okay, because my

348
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: taste buds are on mansion status. My taste buds definitely

349
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: don't pay taxes. My taste buds are on that billionaire ship,

350
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: and y'all need to like. My taste bud's got a

351
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: p P P loan. It's also and they definitely shouldn't

352
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: have forget. It's brave of you in an anti capitalist

353
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: world to be like, I got billionaire taste buds. They

354
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: guilty straight for your tongue. It's gonna be a pack

355
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: up for you. I'm just saying I think the Saani

356
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: is lying about being water. I think it's invitation water.

357
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: It's not about you. I'm just saying it's bad. It's

358
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: all a reference. Okay. So for a full disclosure or

359
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: full transparency. Prior to this, Lacy was eating a slice

360
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: I would say eating because I was hungry, and she

361
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: was having a slice of pepper oony pineapple Hallepeenio pizza

362
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: as well as can do. You want to run down

363
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: the story of why you were as I look at

364
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: you right now, in the zoom call, you were drinking

365
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: from a d Saani bottle. Is it tap water? Say bottle?

366
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: You're doing that fancy thing where you fill up a

367
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: Fiji bottle the top water. It's desagny and it tastes

368
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 1: like oppression. And honestly, did you didn't buy that, did

369
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: you know? So? You know how Coke owns De Saigny,

370
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: and they we keep telling Coke like, y'all, we don't

371
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: want to drink this. This dirt water minerals is dirt.

372
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: You're not checking us, Please stop with the dirt water.

373
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: They're like, we don't care. We're gonna keep giving dirt

374
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: water because we're packed up with coke industries. So you

375
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: know what, every time you bout Coca Cola, you get

376
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: a designy. So I ordered from the pizza place and

377
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: unfortunately they're sponsored or they're they're partnered with Coca Cola,

378
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: so they only give you dirt water. And I ordered

379
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: a couple of dirt waters, and now I gotta drink them.

380
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: Do you like aquafina better than jas anything over jasany like?

381
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: Because it's the same thing with street water. That's just

382
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: Pepsi's version of you know, like repurified water. So you know,

383
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's not great either, but I

384
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: like it better. I'm like a smart water girl. I

385
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: love a Voss with billionaire taste buds. Smart water, get that,

386
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: I and I I and I get those. Get those electrolytes.

387
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: Alkala alkaline water. I don't even know what the alkalines are,

388
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: but whatever put it in my veins. Don't give a funk.

389
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: It sounds different than water I'll take. They're like it's charged.

390
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, great, I'm going to be charged up. Sounds good.

391
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: I just fundamentally don't believe that when I'm drinking water.

392
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: It needs to convince me it's water while I'm drinking it.

393
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: And that's how I feel about de Sani. I'm like,

394
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: it's like when you open the bottle, goes, I'm water,

395
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: I swear, and then you drink it and it's it's

396
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: not and it like hisses like as if it were

397
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: like there was it was pressurized. It's like that's what

398
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: water sounds like, right, I mean, sure there could be

399
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: some sound of water. The tall map on the call

400
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: map commercial, it's like take fifteen seconds and it's like rain,

401
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: it's under it sound like that. It's funny, like you,

402
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: Desani has its own rep like even as in memed

403
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: bottle of water. Like I remember some of the first

404
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: memes we were seeing out of people going on runs

405
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: to supermarkets during the pandemic. It was everybody took everything

406
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: except the desagny, like even people knew. It's like, well

407
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: I don't, I just might as well as drink from

408
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: the tap. But at that point people are still like,

409
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: it's still there. I don't know. It must be just

410
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: cheap as fun for them to make. Water should not

411
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: be heavy, it should not be thick, as water should

412
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: not be sold to people in general. I think that's

413
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: actually let's actually go back a step and like nobody

414
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: should be bottling fucking water and selling it because we're

415
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: literally we're just sucking the fucking life out of different

416
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: places on Earth and be like here you going, man,

417
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: don't don't worry about the fucking the crop failure over there.

418
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: You've got water over here now. But I haven't bought

419
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Vegas. So but that's that might be what it is.

420
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: Maybe Desagni is actually woke because it's not even water.

421
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: Everyone else is terrible and Desaani, which is poison is

422
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: actually just bottle poison like ethical because we take reclaim

423
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: sewage water and squeeze all the ship out of it

424
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: till it grows clear and bottle that purified doky WATERMA question.

425
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: Then the sauny water or a sip from that puddle

426
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: in front of the Hot Dog Stand Broadway on Broadway,

427
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: I would I would drink that twice before the Sawny.

428
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: And also that random drop of water in New York

429
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: that falls down gallons gallons gallons. You put me in

430
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: the Gatorade commercial for that ship. Honestly, I was. Last

431
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: time I was in New York in the summer, I

432
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: was standing on a corner in Chinatown. Uh, did not

433
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: realize there was a big gas puddle of meat in

434
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: front of me in a truck just fucking flashed me.

435
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: And I got water. I got curb water in my mouth,

436
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Hot New York curbwater in my mouth. I will still

437
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: take that over to Sagny. I was like, I don't know,

438
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: wasn't that you can taste they at least yeah, like, well,

439
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: at least I know it's asphalt, like I'm seeing, yeah,

440
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: great and whatever, random garbage water. It's like it's like

441
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: that meme of Pam from the office, which I can't

442
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: tell the difference is just de sagny and puddle water

443
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: your ladder. I don't know the difference. All Right, We're

444
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,159

Speaker 1: only imagine what news that could bring. But we'll be

454
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: talking about that obviously in the next episode. But for now,

455
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: let's address something that was pretty big at the end

456
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: of last week was when AMC theaters. You know, they're

457
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: about to reopen hundreds of locations on July fift in

458
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: this country, and they essentially said, you know what, when

459
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: we open, we're not going to require patrons to wear

460
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: masks despite there being a pandemic. Uh. And this was

461
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: the reasoning, the CEO of AMC gave quote, we did

462
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: not want to be drawn into a political controversy. We

463
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: thought it might be counterproductive if we forced mask wearing

464
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: on those people who believe strongly that it is not necessary.

465
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: We think that the vast majority of AMC guests will

466
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: be wearing masks. When I go to an AMC feature,

467
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: I will certainly be wearing a mask and leading by example. Okay,

468
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: when that came out, I think most people were like,

469
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: what in the holy fuck is going on over there?

470
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: We are in a pandemic where the numbers are not

471
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 1: going down, They're only going up. We're aggressively reopening against

472
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: the word of every scientist ever basically and anybody with

473
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: half a brain and all because what you you got

474
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: to make sure you get that money for the Tenant premiere.

475
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: I mean that's Chris Nolan baby, Like my man is like,

476
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: I gotta get that. And honestly, you know what, I

477
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: think Coronavirus might actually be super super racist because that's

478
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: the only movie that no one's made that has a

479
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: black lead, right, Yeah, I mean I mean it's wild

480
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: because like listen, I'll say I'm a member of MC

481
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: Stubbs Club and not trying to flex, just saying it's

482
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: what I want to do. But I ain't trying to

483
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: go to even a movie theaters when there's no masks,

484
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: and I feel like I don't want to be there

485
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: for other reasons. And I feel like right now, like

486
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: this is not the most important thing that we got

487
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: to be dealing with, Like why would you ever like

488
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: promote that we are going to allow congregations of people

489
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: to be doing a thing together and just breathe the

490
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: same musty old theater street air. The logic um apparently

491
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: that they're applying is like, well, look, people are wearing masks,

492
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: they're not talking, They'll all be facing the same direction.

493
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: Masks will only be off while eating popcorn or having

494
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: a seat or drink or whatever. And that's like they're

495
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: flimsy ASTs logic. And then when CNN press them for

496
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: the but like, what are you actually doing aside from

497
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: just saying like don't wear like what what else can

498
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: you say you're doing to keep people safe? And this

499
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: is what this is the direct answer from the representative

500
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: from MC in this interview quote the things you would expect,

501
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: We're of course doing social distancing seat limitations, intensified creating protocols,

502
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: employee health procedures, contactless ticketing, mobile food and beverage ordering.

503
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: But we've also invested millions of dollars in high tech

504
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: solutions to purify in our theaters. We're buying electrostatic sprayers

505
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: hep of vacuums, MERV thirteen ventilation air filters. We're taking

506
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: the safety and health of our guests and our associates

507
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: as seriously as we possibly can, except allowing people without

508
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: masks to enter your theater. What the funk are y'all

509
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: even talking about? It? Is also like y'all don't have

510
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: no win, Like this is actually like a Petri dish

511
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: that you're asking people to go to where there's no windows,

512
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: airflow is low, electrostatic sprayers hep of vacuums and MERV lace.

513
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: Let me say this one more time, MERV thirteen ventilation

514
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: air filters, not MERV twelve, because we remember what happened

515
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: with those. Yes, it's wild. I feel like I don't

516
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: even remember the first twelve mervs and we are on

517
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: thirteen and hopefully it's gonna save ship. You know what, No,

518
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: I think that it's also like it's what I'm trying

519
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: to think of, Like what it's the opposite, Like you know,

520
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: because if you take your mask down, if you take

521
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: your mask off, it's a popcorn coronavirus everywhere, bro, especially

522
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: in like a dense dark room where like I'm not

523
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: an epidemiologist, but if you're in a trap room and

524
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: there's a high risk coronavirus and everyone's pulling their mask

525
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: off for a little bit, you don't know who's asymptomatic.

526
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: You don't know any of this sort of ship. And

527
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: on top of that, it's like what are you gonna do.

528
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna have like a mask, but then you have

529
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: like the upside down face shields where like you just

530
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: dump popcorn and drinks down there. So you have to

531
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: take it like this to keep that well, keep that

532
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: idea close to the chest. Do you have, oh my god,

533
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: prototype I will. I mean, like listen, we in New York.

534
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll fight any herb who has that all there. But

535
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: I had to go see Tennant this weekend, so I

536
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: have this upside down face ship. I mean it's almost

537
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: like some wally ship where we would create ways to

538
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: just traw product into our down our gullets during some

539
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: unke some fucking media spectacle, like it the levels of

540
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: dystopian like we're approaching with this pandemic because it's really revealing,

541
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: how like the pathology of capitalism too, Like this whole

542
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: idea of like, look, we gotta get this fucking money.

543
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk if people die like we're going,

544
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: we don't get And the other thing people need to

545
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: realize is like if you are if you're trusting a

546
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: corporation to look out for you, you are out of

547
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: your goddamn mind. There. I haven't seen one example where

548
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what that corporation they came through

549
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: on protecting people, even though it's detrimental to their bottom

550
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: line and affected shareholder value. They did the right thing.

551
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: That's just not gonna happen. Not once I can, I

552
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: can I open you got you guys a third eye

553
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: for a second. Okay, I think AMC is really opening

554
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: not just to open their theaters and get money and

555
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: to stimulate whatever arm of Hollywood they're doing well. Also,

556
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: remember the wild cornball Jeff Bezos is trying to buy

557
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: AMC theaters, So I think that this is the only

558
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: thing that they can do to even have any revenues

559
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: to prevent this sort of buyout exactly. So I think

560
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: that's like, I think that's something that's like being a

561
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: race from all of this. But I think it's also

562
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: like I don't care about giant corporate mergers. I really

563
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: care about people. And also, I mean I've been in

564
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: mad amc theaters in the city and I'm just like

565
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: there's always like we don't know how coronavirus completely affects

566
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: the body entirely yet, but like every movie theater I've been,

567
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: and I'm guarantee some du this in their masturbating and

568
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: doing some ship and it's like it's already weird ship

569
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: that's happening, and it's like, bro, like for three months,

570
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: everybody's been home, and now niggas is gonna beating off

571
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: movie theaters with masks on. Like that's it. Like we

572
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: have other systemic theater problems that we also gotta feel

573
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: now there's coronavirus on top of that. Yeah, and what

574
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: movies are even out that it's like, oh, let me

575
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: go risk my life for this tenant John David Washington. Yeah,

576
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a Christopher Nolan. It's a Christopher Nolan like

577
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: super mine, fuck trippy for Chopher No, and no one is.

578
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't think that many people are. And I think

579
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: he's playing himself if he thinks like it's people are

580
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna fucking risk their lives to see that ship. Like

581
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I may see a Christopher Nolan movie

582
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: or I may end up. I would love to see

583
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: that movie, but the cost benefit analysis there, I'm like, oh, fuck,

584
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: no getting in a people who are also dumb as

585
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: fun to be like, I'm going to the movies. Oh

586
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: my god, don't where the I don't know what you've

587
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: been up to. But that brings us to this. So

588
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: this outrage that we are experiencing right now, that got

589
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: loud enough for a m C to be like, Okay,

590
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: you're right, we won't call it politics, even though this

591
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: is not a political issue. That's a whole other conversation

592
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: how people like politicizing mask wearing. But they're saying like, okay,

593
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: you know what masks on now? And this is what

594
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: the CEO had to say at AMC theaters. We think

595
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: it is absolutely crucial that we listened to our guests

596
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: accordingly and with the full support of our scientific advisors.

597
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: We are reversing course and are changing our guest mask

598
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: policy as we Let me just stop right there. The

599
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: whole thing where they're saying, with the full support of

600
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: our scientific advisors, were they told you to have an

601
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: optional mask policy to begin with? Like, what what is

602
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: the like the language already, I feel like betrays what

603
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: was really going on, essentially, like trying to be like yeah,

604
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: because you know, we're always we're always having our scientific

605
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: advisors wig in on everything. I was going to say,

606
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: who the fund is the fucking AMC scientific advisor who

607
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: goes to college people. I can't wait to work for

608
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: a mega movie corporate scientific advisor. They gotta know how

609
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: much chemical they can put in that fact butter before

610
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: legally will kill you. I think it's just coconut oil really,

611
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: but their scientific advisors probably someone who like memorize all

612
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: the lines from Flubber or some ship saying it's just

613
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: like wild hair, the glasses lapt They're like, they're like

614
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: just telling to where masks, They're gonna be fine to

615
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: worry about it, Uh, this other thing here. So then

616
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: they go on, as we reopened the theaters, all guests

617
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: will be required to wear masks. This is the next part.

618
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: The speed with which AMC moved to revise our mask

619
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: policies is a reflection of our commitment to the safety

620
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: and health of our guests. It would have been more

621
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: of a commitment if y'all had just started with the

622
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: masks in the first place, or maybe never opened. Like,

623
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: how y'all go. That's like, that's like if you have cars,

624
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: you got you make cars and you sell them and

625
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: you know they're exploding, and you know they're exploding before

626
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: you sell them, and then people start exploding them, and

627
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: then you're like, hey, guys, we're taking those exploding cars

628
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: off the market because we see that you're exploding and

629
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: we care about you. And that's always at the forefront

630
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: of our ethos as a company exactly. You know, when

631
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: my grand dad got into the exploding car business, I

632
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I gotta keep this

633
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: family christing going, but I will stop it because of

634
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: the welfare of our customers. Right when y'all said we

635
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: don't want to explode no more, we heard you. We

636
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: heard that. That really is some like shitty boyfriend logic

637
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: where you get caught cheating and you're like, well, I'm

638
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: not cheating anymore. And she's like, well, that's true exactly, babe,

639
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: because that's a testament to how committed I am to

640
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: you in this relationship. It's like, know, you caught me

641
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: five minutes ago. I know you caught me. However that

642
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: was five minutes ago, and I wouldn't not I wouldn't

643
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: stop cheating for nobody, you know, But I'm committed to this,

644
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: this relationship. The sanctity of the whole thing just reeks

645
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: of total bullshit. And it's just really weird, man, because

646
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: these like it's there's like another level of gas lighting

647
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: that's happening from capitalists, like the capitalist you know, business

648
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: owning class, which is forcing people to work and consume again,

649
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: as if there isn't a pandemic, like all these forced openings,

650
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: Like I think bars were opening over the weekend in

651
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: l A. I wouldn't know because I'm still looking at like,

652
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: is there are the numbers going down? Yeah? It's like

653
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: what are what the funk are people doing? But they're

654
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: not realizing that even though a mayor might say, hey,

655
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: we're reopening the town, it's not because you are safe.

656
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: It's because like the Chamber of Commerce and other donors

657
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: and people who are owned business and stuff are in

658
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: their ears lobbying them to get them to reopen. Like

659
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: this is a lobbying effort. This isn't just some This

660
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: isn't your local leaders saying like all right, guys, I

661
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: think you've been safe and I think we're ready. No,

662
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: they're under pressure from these people who are like, I

663
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: need my fucking money, bro, And if you think I'm

664
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna give to your campaign, you're out your fucking head.

665
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: Start opening these restaurants and ship It's really really dark

666
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: and cynical. Also, people have to remember, like if you're

667
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: going out to these restaurants, are you're risking because you're like, oh,

668
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: it'll probably be okay. Just know you're out there with

669
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: the most reckless people you've ever met in your life.

670
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: Because anybody who's out early, disregarding everything that's happening in

671
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: the news, I bet you those people have been out

672
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: the entire time. There's a good chance that they have

673
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: like met up with so many different people, like you

674
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: are out with the most reckless people you've ever met,

675
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: and also like and guess what you wanted? The motherfucker's

676
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: sue you. They're like, come on, bro, if we all realize, oh,

677
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: maybe i'm wildent and just sat down, you'll be fine. Yeah,

678
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: I mean, like if if you could be outdoors, that's

679
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: one thing, because it seems like mask wearing did help

680
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: a lot during a lot of these protests, which is beneficial,

681
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: but that's in the context of outside And I know

682
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: there are I've read plenty of takes on the right

683
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, really, people are upset about bars, but

684
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: look at this, Look at all these people. I don't

685
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: see social distancing there without completely like actually genuinely, you know,

686
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: pointing to the fact that this isn't about going to

687
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: see a fucking movie. Okay, this is exactly complete. The

688
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: stakes are fucking not even close to being the same.

689
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: But because like the sooner that you realize that everything

690
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: is connected to like whiteness, money and optics, everything starts

691
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: becoming so much more clear because like, honestly, like you know,

692
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: but look at these people doing brunch. Things are good,

693
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna follow up with them in two

694
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: weeks when they're all ventilators Mark thirteen air ventilators. Like, yeah,

695
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: so it's wold, so we'll see, uh you know how

696
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: that goes. I just you know, please everybody listening, just

697
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: because look at just the numbers. Man, If the numbers

698
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: aren't going down, we're not doing it. We're not doing

699
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: what we had to do. Then you know how to

700
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: in the streets. Yeah, speaking of whiteness and optics and

701
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: media narratives in Hollywood. Um, mama, do you wrote a

702
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: piece and Vulture that is really really fantastic sort of

703
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: talking about a film that you were trying to get

704
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: out and it's evolution and how you were trying to

705
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: tell a story, um, and how you came to realize

706
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: whether or not an audience would accept it, whether or

707
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: not the gatekeepers that allowed stories like this to be

708
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: platformed would accept it. Um. And I don't know, I

709
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: just want to, you know, let you. I feel like

710
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: this is a great time to talk about Hollywood ing

711
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: while black. Um. And I think in your instance, like

712
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: for you as a creator trying to get a message

713
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: out and then watching how that gets distorted along the way. Um.

714
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: So do you do you kind of want to just

715
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: sort of break down what happened? Yeah? So, and uh

716
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: so I've been doing like you know, protests and stuff

717
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: for a lot a long time. I think that you know,

718
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: every black person that we know, their entire life has

719
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: been mined with this sort of like smag of police

720
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: isles and racism from that. So in two thousands sixteen,

721
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: after the deaths of Philanderer Steel and out In Sterling,

722
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: I started working on a short film and I started

723
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: crowdfunding for it called Hashtag, and it was supposed to

724
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: be sort of a meta narrative on the cyclical nature

725
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: of things, because especially on social media, you really noticed

726
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 1: that we turn our eyes to it, then we turn away,

727
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: and it keeps happening almost exactly the same way. And

728
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, we all had our grant.

729
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: I think not we all, But I feel like a

730
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: lot of the Internet that doesn't have access to this

731
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: sort of narrative because they're not tied to it, was

732
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: forced to look at like the trape On Martin story.

733
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 1: So things have slowly gotten Wokern worker, Walker and Walker

734
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: and worker on Twitter. But I made the short film

735
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: and it took a lot out of me, mostly because

736
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 1: I was getting advice from a lot of different people.

737
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: I was taking in different directions and I went to

738
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: different execs, I went to different production companies that I

739
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: wanted to help from it, and it felt very much

740
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: like this like grand gas lighting of like, yo, this

741
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: idea is and it felt like you could feel the

742
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: money behind it. It's not in right now, it's not

743
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna pop. You could hear the gas from the ideas like,

744
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: oh yeah, what you're talking about is like definitely an

745
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: important topic, but like we don't do that here. And

746
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: I could tell from the people that I was talking

747
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: to that it like it made them uncomfortable, but not

748
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: uncomfortable enough to change anything about themselves and stuff. And

749
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: I finally did make the short film in two I

750
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: was in eighteen with Quincy lad Better and Michelle Francesco Thomas.

751
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: And when I made the short film, I realized that

752
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: throughout the entire time I was making it, more people

753
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: were dying and more people were doing the same thing

754
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: that I was like trying to put in this movie.

755
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, it really broke me. It really made

756
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: me feel insane because I was like, I feel crazy,

757
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of black people do because

758
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: we just spend so much more time being gaslets our

759
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: own experiences by people at all levels of what we're doing,

760
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: especially in Hollywood and in comedy and stuff. So I

761
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: well during all of this, you know, you said that

762
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: we were talking about Twitter, about Twitter, Like I just

763
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: got mad this time. I was just like, yo, stop

764
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: pretending that you don't see this, and like the fatigue

765
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: and like the oh well, we're gonna be performatively woke

766
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna go away from it, whereas like

767
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: black people can't turn their heads away, like we only

768
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: turn our heads into more trauma. And the last three

769
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: weeks have been that. So I yeah, I made the

770
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: short film and then I was like, I'm not going

771
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: to release this, mostly because I think that like with

772
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: black people who die from police violence, they are survived

773
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: by us and we fight for them. But that was

774
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: a movie where it's literally called hashtag. It was gonna

775
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: trend and my body was on the top people trying

776
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: to make a point, and I was going to be

777
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: alive to see the ain't ship motherfucker's that I have

778
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: to navigate every single day. So rather than do that

779
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: and then ruined my own mental health with that, I

780
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not going to release this. That being said,

781
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: a lot of people have seen it and a lot

782
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: of people have shared it. It's something that, um, you know,

783
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: when I wrote the article. She's like, I want to

784
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: see it, and I was like, yeah, because I can't

785
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: be out here like I'm writing something about something that's

786
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: never happened, that doesn't exist. You can't do that. So

787
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: I was like, you can see it, and they thank

788
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: you Meg right for giving the platform for that. But

789
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: she also just like she said it moved her and

790
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: know she understood the point that I was trying to make.

791
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: And it ties into so much of like the sort

792
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: of emotional policing that black people got to go through

793
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, whether it be telling policing, emotional policing, body policing,

794
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: and it it doesn't And with the moment talking about

795
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: cops again, I was like, we have to include all

796
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: of it, right, we have to include all the conversations.

797
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: And I'm not the most radical person. I know many

798
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: more women of color who are much more specifically black

799
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: women who are much more radical than I was that

800
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: I am, but just the police in prison abolition movement

801
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: is moving past the sort of like cyclical nature, like

802
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: we need to completely fund this ship up and I

803
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: want that sort of energy to come towards policing of

804
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: black expression in Hollywood. It's good it's a very different

805
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: beast because no, no white person thinks that they're bad.

806
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: And also like they think that they're giving us opportunities,

807
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: but they don't understand that that real opportunity lies within

808
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: the power construct in Hollywood. So I shouldn't have to

809
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be allowed to make something that specifically black

810
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: and then have white people gaze upon it and tell

811
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: me why it doesn't work. It's like, sometimes you just

812
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: have to trust that you don't know what you're talking about.

813
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing that we have

814
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: to work with with Hollywood exacts, is like there has

815
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: to come a moment where you're like, I don't know

816
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: every experience, Like you're not gonna see me read you know,

817
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: a Native Persons script or read a script from someone

818
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: who's from Soul or from you know, Amsterdam, and be like,

819
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not really understanding this food stuff y'all

820
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: talking about, Like you need to take that out. Maybe

821
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: we could put in I don't know black people food.

822
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, like this love interest, could

823
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: they be white? I mean, it's soul Korea, so what

824
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: about some soul food food? Yeah? I know, I know

825
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: it'sn't so Korea, but yes, soul food and also soul

826
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: for people. Could these Koreans be the black ones? But

827
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: that is that, But that's what happens. Like just what

828
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 1: you're saying, mom, you're like your piece, right, I haven't

829
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: seen it yet, but the way you're describing sort of

830
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: this groundhogs day effect of this man getting killed by

831
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: the police and having to relive it and try and

832
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: figure out how they're going to actually survive this interaction. Yeah,

833
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: I think that puts so literally what the black experiences

834
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: that essentially it's like what was happening pre George Floyd,

835
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: where it was something so real and shocking to someone's

836
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: senses that they're like, oh, that's like kind of hot,

837
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, like that, but rather than acknowledging, like will

838
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: you allow us to actually explain to you what this is?

839
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: This isn't this isn't something meant to be incendiary or

840
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: antagonistic because our existences are are just tainted with these

841
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: kinds of things. So what what the funk is this?

842
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: And to hear that someone was like even trying to

843
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: an executive, trying to give you to both sides this narrative. Yeah,

844
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: it was very annoying. I was just like, bro, like,

845
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk about the cop narrative. Guess what,

846
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: they have a full have a strangle hold on their

847
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: own fucking narrative, and right whenever anything comes out about them,

848
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: they're like, can you take out the part about the brutality?

849
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's like it's like or that I mean,

850
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: and that's that's the thing, Like black people do not

851
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: have control of their own narrative and the same way

852
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: that white people and cops have. And I'm not saying

853
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: that every white person is a cop or am I,

854
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that there is a power structure

855
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, as Lacy was saying, that doesn't allow for

856
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: black people to express themselves the way they want to.

857
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: It has to be put through a white filter of palatability.

858
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: And that extends to all people of color, queer people

859
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: like and and it's difficult and it's dangerous to do

860
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: that because if we don't have control of our own narrative,

861
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: then things that are essential need to get cut out.

862
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: And even in this article like shout out Meg, I

863
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: was just like fighting was like, no, these lines need

864
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: to come in because someone needs to say this, like,

865
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: I think that people in the last forty years sort

866
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: of this turn towards blackness being the cool thing that

867
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: we can like all engage in that has become so

868
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: mainstream that black people are now being plucked away from

869
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: their own narratives and replaced with white people who are

870
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: doing black sense and you know, you know, nig efficient

871
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: on on Instagram and stuff like that, like that sort

872
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: of stuff. So it's so expansive, and it's so connected

873
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: to so many different other systems in Hollywood, and it

874
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: all comes down to like this sort of like suffocating

875
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: cloud of whiteness that is around everything. I think what

876
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: really made me break was one girl asking me where's hashtag?

877
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: Like in a very like I need it now sort

878
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: of because you did a go fund met exactly. And

879
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: I totally got it. I understood where she was coming from,

880
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: because I mean, that's how I am. I try to

881
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: see both sides of that sort of situation, often too much,

882
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: but I try to see both sides of that. But

883
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: what it really felt like, and I had to be

884
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: honest about how I felt, was like, it feels like

885
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: you're just like, yo, where's this movie about police trauma

886
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: that I put some money into and she's right, like,

887
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: you put some money into it, but like, this is

888
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: really fucking me up. And also every three months, someone

889
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: else is dying. And I watched my movie happen in

890
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: real life, and you watch my movie happen in real

891
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: life and you do nothing to change. So why would

892
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: I put something out with me in it and hurt

893
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: my my own mental health and see you do the

894
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: same thing you do with real dead people and keep

895
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: it going and it and it just it really did

896
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: break me. So I just immediately I was like, we

897
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: gotta start looking at Hollywood holistically, everything from exects down

898
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: the crafty. How are we putting black people into this?

899
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 1: And also the idea of like re traumatizing black people

900
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: because we understand what the reality is, so when we

901
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: see these films, it's like yep. But then at a

902
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: certain point it where's it starts to really weigh down

903
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: on people, because how many times you have to see

904
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: these really fucked up versions of life until you know,

905
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: ship starts clicking And I guess we're beginning there. But

906
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: that's why I think we have to really see this moment.

907
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are um and to

908
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: your point is like it can't just be offerings to

909
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: black creators, writers or whatever to have like table scraps

910
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: or that'd be like invited to the table. Motherfucker's need

911
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: to give up their seats at the table. Exactly know

912
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: what I mean, Because that's the issue. And I think

913
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: that's really I think another issue of like how are

914
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: we how can we really guarantee that there is going

915
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: to be proper representation in these kinds of things when

916
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: already we're seeing corporations be like, hey, we'll be back

917
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: with more on what we will do on black Lives Ladder,

918
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: more to come, more to come, But like we gotta

919
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: be real, what this is just another form of gas

920
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: lighting until we actually see what is going to happen.

921
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't need more to come. I need you to say,

922
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: you know what, like we've changed our head of development.

923
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: Uh is now like a clear queer black person whatever

924
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: anything and just be like this person is now doing this,

925
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: someone who is gate keeping is now we're actually expanding

926
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: the perspective of people who are going to actually be

927
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: like this could be something good rather than a very

928
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: homogeneous lens or filter that everything is put through in

929
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: this decision making process, and that's why you're seeing gate keepers.

930
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: For a long time, what they did, you know, and

931
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: called diversity and expansion was tokenism where they would take

932
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: on black creatives and then they take their art and

933
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: they remove all of the passion and the and the

934
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: truth from it so that they can make it palatable

935
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: to white audiences. And you don't see that in anybody

936
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: else's art, like any other like white folks art, Like

937
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: when you're watching white people's piece, if you're watching Wes Anderson,

938
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: you're getting the you know, the alabaster of the alabaster,

939
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: the creme de la creme, you know what I mean.

940
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: No one's saying, like West, too many colors, Wes uh,

941
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: too many tiny chess, you know, like symmetrical right, whatever

942
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: we was feels his whiteness needs to express. He's allowed

943
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: to do that. However, if it's brown and black folks,

944
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: then it's like, well, we don't get this reference or

945
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Gerard Klimachel left the Car Michael Show because

946
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: they wouldn't let him release episodes about police brutality and

947
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: about stuff that he really wanted to talk about. Then

948
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: they just kept censoring him. And I've experienced that on

949
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: shows that I was on where we were talking about

950
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 1: I was the one black girl in a friend group

951
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: and we were talking about the police and they immediately

952
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 1: are way more aggressive to me in the scene and

953
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 1: the white exacts red and we're like, we don't understand

954
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: why this black girl's character. Why would the cops be

955
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: so aggressive towards her? And we were like, cause because

956
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: she's she's black. Like they're like no, but the cop

957
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: has no reason to do that. It's like they still

958
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: think that way, and they put it on us, and

959
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: it's like, come on, now, you've seen all these videos

960
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,240
Speaker 1: of us dying, and white people love a slave movie.

961
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: They love a good old black trauma porn that they

962
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: can just like skirt up and down the oscars some

963
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: with some good old savior behavior. Yeah, savior behavior like

964
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: you said. And I don't even watch those things anymore.

965
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: And it's kind of like that get that meme of

966
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: the girl who's drinking the soda and she's like hey,

967
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: Like so it's like when I when I see an

968
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: ad for a black trauma porn movie, I'm not I'm

969
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,959
Speaker 1: not interested. When I see an audition, I'm like, maybe

970
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: I gotta go get my lupeto on. I don't want to,

971
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: but that's the industry that I live in. Those are

972
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: the choices that I have. I gotta go get beat

973
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: on and like a slave so I can so I

974
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: can give me some some cloud. It is so sad

975
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: because like I think that, like you know, we all

976
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: make the jokes about like white people was asking us

977
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: did you see it? Get out and we got to

978
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: ask them, did you see it? Because it feels like

979
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: you're not changing anything about your behavior to us based

980
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: on that, and it is that And I think it's like,

981
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 1: what's even more insidious. I think that, like what people

982
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: don't really fully realize about what needs to change in

983
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: Hollywood is the thing that we're learning. We we know

984
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: about world history. Everything in world history is people refusing

985
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: to give up power and people like, oh that no power, cool,

986
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: we take it everything your heads mom g Like that's

987
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: what it is. And I think in Hollywood, like we

988
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,439
Speaker 1: don't it doesn't need to be a violent transfer of power.

989
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: It literally is like we're giving you this power. And

990
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: I think that it can't just be the one black

991
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: person in the room. It can't be just two, because

992
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: you need to and as a former teacher, you need

993
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: to build scaffolding, something to like hold onto so that

994
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: like they can unders like we can feel like we

995
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: can communicate with each other and have some sort of power.

996
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: And I think that is a fear that a lot

997
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: of white Republicans have in this world, and a lot

998
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,919
Speaker 1: of white people on the right, but also on the left.

999
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: It's like there's a lot of people who ang themselves

1000
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: to be at the front of black movements, who are

1001
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: white allies, And I'm like, why are you at the

1002
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: front unless you're depending me from a cop out of protest.

1003
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: It's it's okay to not be the forefront. And I

1004
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: know plenty of people who may not think of it

1005
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: that way, but that's how we perceive it. But then

1006
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: on top of that, there's a culture of silence where

1007
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: we're not allowed to talk about this stuff because we

1008
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: know it could be our career. And I think that

1009
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 1: in this moment, so many people are talking about it

1010
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 1: because we have so much frustration that is from everything.

1011
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: Also we've all been cooped up for like three months,

1012
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: but like there's so much frustration from everything, and you know,

1013
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: media pieces like thirteen and when they see a shout

1014
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: out ava and Watchman, Like, these are all stories that

1015
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 1: black people really know and white people don't. I think

1016
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: that's put in improv terms shout out UCB, but not really. Um,

1017
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: it's we don't have the same based reality, and we're

1018
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: coming into a scene where we the white based reality

1019
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the subjective truth, but we know

1020
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: it's been whitewash and spun to be something else. And

1021
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: even in the movies that you say, oh, this is

1022
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: about black people, like, go, what's the movie Hidden Figures?

1023
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: Then my man was breaking down that bathroom side and

1024
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, the funk added here that they did

1025
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: not knock down no goddamn, but hey, they're gonna go

1026
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: to the go to the bathroom over there. That's that's

1027
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: how it went down. It's like, it's not and that's

1028
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: the stuff. It's like there's still this positioning of like

1029
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: the framing of white goodness and redemption and innocence, where

1030
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: in reality we know that's not how it is historically.

1031
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: And the fact that like people can just post a

1032
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: black square and be quiet that brought out everyone's frustration

1033
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: and anger because we on the inside know that this

1034
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: is not how it is, and we felt we've had

1035
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: to hold it in because if we want that ship out,

1036
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 1: it's a pack up for our life, our career. And

1037
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: there's an insidiousness to like the way that you know,

1038
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: whiteness makes blackness threatening at the drop of a hat

1039
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: and the smallest instance and and that is policing. That's

1040
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: the tone police block that I was talking about. That

1041
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: is all that stuff. And like even with j Cole

1042
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: no name, like it's coming from inside the house too,

1043
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: like that that sort of white supremacist thought is still

1044
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, black woman, quite your ship down, Like

1045
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: what we There's so much that needs to be unpacked

1046
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: and undone. I think that's the beauty of like what's

1047
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 1: coming out of this movement, not just for Hollywood but

1048
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: for the world about you know, police abolishment and prison abolishment,

1049
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: because it's like we need to like strip this ship

1050
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: and we need to like fix things. But it requires

1051
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: us all to like de center ourselves and center equity

1052
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: in a certain way. White people are not good at that.

1053
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: There's like, what do you need me to do? Money? Cool?

1054
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: And that we need infrastructure, we need power, and that

1055
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: requires people who get into these positions the you know,

1056
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: people are doing about the East rays, the Donald lovers,

1057
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: the avas who are doing these things to like pay

1058
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: it forward and recenter the people who are at the

1059
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: most vulnerable within our own black community as well, And

1060
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: that is something that has to start up at AD

1061
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: execs and development execs go to showrunners, to writers to writers,

1062
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: assistance to assistance to craft down to a crafty here

1063
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: in Hollywood Reporter before COVID Hit and the Oscars edition,

1064
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: talking about the disparities when it comes to people who

1065
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: even know how to do black makeup and hair, Like,

1066
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't think white people realize that we get up

1067
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: every single day and we just face abuse every day

1068
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: and when you're quiet, because we're like, well, these con

1069
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: edison don't care that this white later was mean to me.

1070
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna have to take it on the

1071
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: chain because I gotta pay my fucking bills and they

1072
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: don't get that. And you know, it was super disappointing

1073
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: to me to in l A seven h six. I'm

1074
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna put you all on blast again to hear from

1075
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: the seven or six and this is not the people

1076
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: of color who work within seven or six. Shout out

1077
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: to y'all because y'all are fighting so hard to get jobs,

1078
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 1: and it's such a I know it's a hard space,

1079
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: but um, I heard that people in the meetings read

1080
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Reporter and wanted to boycott the Hollywod Reporter.

1081
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: And we're talking about all the great things that they

1082
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: were doing for black women in hair and makeup and

1083
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: the programs that they had. And I said, so, if

1084
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: this is what you're the problem you have, right, I'm

1085
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: an actress, I work. I'm not famous at this moment,

1086
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: but I'm employed. And but you have Taggi p Henson,

1087
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: you have got real union, you have Natasha wroth Wall,

1088
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: you have actions who have been in the game for

1089
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: decades telling you the same thing. And instead of being

1090
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: like wow, if they're still saying it's a problem, maybe

1091
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: we aren't doing enough, or maybe what we're doing isn't working.

1092
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: But instead there's that white fragility that hops in that

1093
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: centers yourself and make sure makes it all about you

1094
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: and how you feel when people are hurting. And that's

1095
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 1: like if you went to the doctor and you're like doctor,

1096
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 1: like I'm bleeding. The doctors like, okay, that's not my fault,

1097
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: So so what who's faults? So who falts why I

1098
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: didn't run the knife into you. It's like help me.

1099
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to help me about you. Yeah, that's

1100
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: the ugly part where it's just like you pull up

1101
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: somewhere and it's it's the meme again. I keep talking

1102
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: to memes. I'm sorry, my brain is fundamentally broke by

1103
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 1: the enemy. But if it's that ship where Eric Andre

1104
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: stutting Hannibal and be like, why would you make me

1105
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: do that? And I'm like, no, it don't. It don't

1106
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: gotta be this way. I literally just need you to

1107
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: like change these things. And one thing that got taken

1108
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: out of the article goal for world count because it

1109
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: was near three thousands, but because I had so much

1110
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: to say. There's just so much to unpack, but like

1111
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: I need to make it a cohesive story. Shadow editors,

1112
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 1: is that like you can't arrive like five years late

1113
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: to class and then be like alright, page one, Black

1114
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: lives Matter, Like you you gotta you've gotta come in

1115
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: and realize that you are not leading the movements, you

1116
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: are contributing to it. And I think that there's a

1117
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: skewing in our media the way that the world looks

1118
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: at like the different oppressions that it seems like things

1119
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: are one to one, whereas everything is so complicated. It's

1120
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: not just men versus women. It's not just black men

1121
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: white woman, it's not white women black, it's all of

1122
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: the things connected. And if you start intersecting it all

1123
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: the day down the bottom, when you start realizing who

1124
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: is the least protected. And we're talking about this the

1125
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: other day, Lacey and I just like specifically, it's trickled

1126
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: down justice. It's just trickle down justice. And it's like,

1127
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna break the glass ceiling. We're gonna come back

1128
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: and get you. Has that happened, like at the moment

1129
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: that black white people are like, well, I'm tapped out.

1130
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: I donated to fifteen and fucking organizations. I'm exhausted. Yeah, exactly.

1131
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: That ship and I talked about it all time, Race

1132
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: Time continuum. You see it like, oh my god, I'm

1133
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: so upset. What we're gonna do? All right, we fixed it,

1134
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: and then you go right back down that little curb

1135
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: and race time listen. I think, and that's the thing.

1136
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: The only reason that I have any sort of like

1137
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: quotable means and stuff like that that I'm good at

1138
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: talking about this is that I've done this my entire life,

1139
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: and I've tried to explain it in every way to

1140
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: people who are not trying to change, and now we're

1141
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: not going to let you. And I think that it's

1142
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: it starts with, you know, the safety of black people

1143
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, and that requires the scaffolding at all different levels.

1144
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: But then it also comes with like the rejection of

1145
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: white mediocrity in the face of black people who work

1146
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: their entire goddamn lives to have the most stacked IMDb,

1147
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: the most stacked credits, the most stacked like writing samples,

1148
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: and they pull up and they're like, oh, yeah, this

1149
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: is Keith from Costco. You might have written on fifteen

1150
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: different oscar A or uh nominated movies, but we just

1151
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: found him and he was, you know, you know, buying exactly,

1152
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: and he was in Costco at the time. Showrunner like

1153
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: load a bunch of dog food into his car exactly,

1154
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: and he made a funny dog food joke and the

1155
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: guy was like, Hey, you want to be in a

1156
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: writer's room. And that's not to say that there aren't

1157
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: many talented white writers, but what you guys have to

1158
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: understand is and and this is where like, I find

1159
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: myself trying to incentivize white folks because I just know

1160
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: that they wish they had more empathy in their hearts.

1161
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: But many it's just about them. So I'm like, look,

1162
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: you can sleep better if you do these things for

1163
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: black people and then you know you're not the bad guy.

1164
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: You just keep doing those things and thank you so much.

1165
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: Or like white folks who have worked really hard for

1166
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: the things that they have, it's not that we don't

1167
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: know you exist. The issues is that you don't realize like,

1168
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: for as much as you've ever had to work, we've

1169
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: had to work harder. And it's not But we're not

1170
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: saying that to say that we're better than you were

1171
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: saying that, to say that you got to work and

1172
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: you didn't have to get followed home by the police.

1173
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: You got to work, and you didn't have to quietly

1174
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: deal with your first a d putting his hands on

1175
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: you on set. You got to work, and when you

1176
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: spoke up and said that, hey, I'm getting sick, they

1177
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: didn't make you work in the freaking woods until you

1178
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: had to go to the hospital. You got to work

1179
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: and you didn't have to you know what I mean.

1180
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: And these are my personal experiences that I just listened

1181
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: off in Hollywood where like people I've had been putting

1182
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: their hands on me to the point where I had

1183
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: to be like, please stop. And I was supposedly the

1184
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: most important actress, their number one on the culture, and

1185
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: I had a d break his fall on me on

1186
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: set tripped and grabbed me to break his fall. Could

1187
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: you imagine being on a set where anybody worked on

1188
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: that set and and Nicole came in or any other

1189
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: the delicate white woman and then you saw like a

1190
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: gaff or like, whoo, if I'm tripping, let me grab

1191
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: on a Nicole so I could so I don't fall

1192
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: to the ground. What what I just know? Like this

1193
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: is what we're talking about. We're not trying to take

1194
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: away from the fact that you've worked hard for your

1195
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: the things that you own, but do know that we

1196
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: are surviving one every day that we get up and

1197
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: then we're doing twice three times as much work just

1198
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: to be considered for a tokenized position. Yeah, and on

1199
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: top of that, just as people the most vulnerable in

1200
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: the world that feel like we aren't, we don't have

1201
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: even access to these stories because when they're like all right,

1202
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: we want to make this movie about how you know

1203
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have it's gonna be a parallel universe. It's

1204
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna be you, Nicole Kidman, and it's a d is

1205
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: gonna fall on you. And then they'll somehow like erase

1206
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: you from the story. They'll somehow like, you know, somehow

1207
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: it was lazy. But now they've made that person shades

1208
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: four teen shades lighter and they're actually being played by

1209
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Lena Dunham, and you're exactly, you know, we we we

1210
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: know our roster, you know what I'm saying. So it's

1211
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: like there's this sort of like keep calm and carry

1212
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: on mentality, not to get the UK, but like it

1213
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: is this racism where it's like white people are like,

1214
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: all right, it's all good, and like what we're gonna

1215
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 1: fight racism until you gotta like look within. And I

1216
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: think that we're we all need to look within two

1217
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: if we want to control make any sort of transformative

1218
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: change in hospital in Hollywood, it requires an internal look,

1219
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: something that like black people have had to do to survive.

1220
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: Because we need to talk. I need to talk to

1221
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Lazy to tell her, like this is what happened. So

1222
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: I feel crazy. It is and I think that, you know,

1223
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: I never want to like, you know, co opt abuse language,

1224
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: but these are power dynamics and they intersect. Once you

1225
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: talk about race and gender and you know, sexual orientation,

1226
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: gender expression, it's like it's so very layered and complicated

1227
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: and it can't just be a post on Twitter. It

1228
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: can't be a post on because like people been out

1229
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: here posting on Twitter, posting on Instagram, getting dragged, whole

1230
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: whole organizations being like we stand for Black Lives Matter,

1231
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: and all the black people be like this you and

1232
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: it's like every single time that happens, I'm like, we yeah,

1233
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: we know, this is exactly what it is. Every single

1234
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: fucking time. It's like we people want to look good

1235
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: rather than do good. And I think that when it

1236
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: comes to ally Ship, we need to do the good

1237
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: and we need the receipts because you know that black

1238
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: people got there's against you, and I think that, like

1239
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: we also need to allow people to grow and change.

1240
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a teacher, so like you know, I thought,

1241
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: like I said in the article, if I'm getting sick

1242
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: of people, you know, my patience is to run dry.

1243
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: I taught twelve year olds man then niggas was roasting

1244
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: my shout out, uh roasting me. So it's like, um,

1245
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm tired, I'm exhausted. And if I'm tired, then I

1246
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: know that somebody has to deal with the intersection of

1247
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: being a woman like lazy also is exhausted, and somebody

1248
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: who's queer is definitely exhausted. Somebody who's fat in this

1249
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: industry to fucking exhausted, somebody who's not siss like. It's

1250
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: it's like there's so many layers and it requires not

1251
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: centering of just a group, of centering of just like

1252
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: an equity mind. And I think that there's a lot

1253
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: of white people who walk into a room and they

1254
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: see a bunch of white people and they say, don't

1255
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: they don't see anything wrong, and that is a problem.

1256
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: True words. All right, let's take a quick break and

1257
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back. Uh, let's just

1258
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: really quick. I just want to point out to this

1259
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: piece in the New York Times, and like last week

1260
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: it was talking the author of Salt Sugar, Fat Um,

1261
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: like the book was like fantastics, basically talking about like

1262
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: this systematic poisoning of us through all these processed foods

1263
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: we eat in these combinations that are having just the

1264
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: worst effects on our health, but are being like, yo,

1265
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: but this is how we get people to buy it

1266
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: because it tastes good and yeah, fun funk the health effects.

1267
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: Um so I'm not gonna fault his tone as he

1268
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: like talks about how like excited food makers are, but

1269
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: it is kind of funny. So it seems like right

1270
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: now a lot of the processed food industry is basically like,

1271
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: oh shit, like we're back, Like the pandemic has brought

1272
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: the like the just comfort food, junk food eating, uh

1273
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, wave right back. And a lot of people,

1274
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: I think myself included, I was being very like, no,

1275
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't need to eat this ship. I don't need

1276
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: to eat just like straight up sugar stuff, Like I

1277
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: can be a little more mindful to keep my internal

1278
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: processes running optimally. But now a lot of people, you know,

1279
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: in the pandemic, we're in our homes, we are basically

1280
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: finding out that like we like to snack more like

1281
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: it's just what it is we're grazing now. And basically

1282
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: now there's a lot of these food makers saying like,

1283
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: holy sh it, like snacking has come back, Like snacking

1284
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: is like the is the wave right now. But I

1285
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: think depending on how you are. I think I think

1286
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: I find myself in the category of like eating junk

1287
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: food just purely to be comfortable. That's it. Like right

1288
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: now I find myself being like, hey, dude, I need

1289
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: fucking ice cream. I need to eat a whole sleeve

1290
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: of oreoles like in one go, just because at times

1291
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: it helps with other things. Um. But then I think

1292
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: the other thing is like a lot of people don't

1293
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: have like the knowledge, wealth, or discipline to stay on

1294
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: a healthy diet. So I don't know how anyone could

1295
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: be like expected to consider those things, especially when right

1296
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: now we're kind of like in this slow motion societal collapse.

1297
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: But apparently people are loving can't soup right now? They're

1298
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: not your life is over, can't right now? Slap progressive?

1299
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: I think what it is obviously because it's the easiest

1300
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: ship to make, you know what I mean, good baby.

1301
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: I think it's only I think they're jumping the gun

1302
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: of it. I think that's like people being like mass

1303
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: up back baby. Everybody wants Ppe. Everyone's gona with Ppe

1304
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: for the next tim twenty years, baby, like you have to.

1305
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: I think they need to realize the time that we're

1306
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: in because camp suit does slap, and people were getting

1307
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: it because it doesn't expire and they didn't know how

1308
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: long it would be until their next grocery store trips.

1309
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: So it's kind of wild to me that people are

1310
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: like extracting that from the narrative and being like, we

1311
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: got them where we want them cooked. Yeah, because like

1312
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: General Mills, their cereals jump like and like waffles and

1313
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, here we go. Dam I should have

1314
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: got stuck in Ego. Damn it just coming up off

1315
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: the Ego dollars. You get those Eggo checks in the

1316
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:02,919
Speaker 1: mail right now? No, no, he let go my motherfucking ego,

1317
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: Like you'd be out here trying to pay big coronavirus

1318
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: and get your Eggo money to stay up. Like, like,

1319
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: soup is wild to me because I'm like, yo, there's

1320
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: no like, okay, I'm not gonna slander soup. I'm I'm

1321
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: a autute of the soup community. I want to be clear.

1322
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,959
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, Like, there's no way that someone

1323
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: looked at those numbers. It goes like super is in.

1324
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: We gotta get this soup ship going. There's like listen,

1325
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: it's like the scientists at the AMC, like there's nobody

1326
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: looking at those numbers and saying that, like soup is

1327
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: what is in? And I don't know. I don't also

1328
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: to say that it's in. You know what I'm saying,

1329
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: like like can's like a survival food is not in?

1330
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Who means that we're trying to survive? That is all

1331
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: that is dry spaghetti man and we're back, We're back

1332
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 1: on his head is like retire. But if I'm back

1333
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: in the game now, all that kitschy astronaut food, they're

1334
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: like everybody buying I camping food ice cream. Yeah. The

1335
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: other thing is but a lot of people like six

1336
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: and ten adults in this other a we're cooking a

1337
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: lot of their meals from scratch, which is really interesting.

1338
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: So I think some people took the time to just

1339
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: be like I got so much time, like ship carrots

1340
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: are cheap, Okay, maybe I can do something with this. Um.

1341
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: But the other thing that's really interesting is like how

1342
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: the sort of pendulum broke down in different ways. UM.

1343
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: One of the biggest things was for people who said,

1344
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: like one in four people said they were eating more

1345
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: salty and sugary snacks and this this like category of

1346
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:31,479
Speaker 1: people was dominated by the eighteen to twenty nine demographic, which,

1347
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: like back in were the same people who were like

1348
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm off this ship, Like I'm off this processed food.

1349
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: So we've had to come. It's interesting to see that

1350
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: just in these times, like yeah, there is a certain

1351
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: amount that we just it's comfortable to maybe do less work,

1352
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 1: to cook and just eat something that reminds us of

1353
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: childhood when we didn't know about, you know, how deep

1354
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: systemic racism was, or a pandemic or capital And I

1355
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: feel like if a Scooby Doo snacks box could talk,

1356
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,919
Speaker 1: you'd be like, ah, see a bitch come and crawling back?

1357
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: What job a caudle toast? Now? I dare you? Dare you?

1358
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: What's the wildest snack like journey you've gone on in

1359
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: this pandemic? Like in terms of volume, I ate one

1360
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 1: and a half points of ice cream in one city.

1361
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: I definitely had a Hogendas moment and then and I'm

1362
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: not a snacker like I'll eat once a day, um,

1363
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: which is very trifling. Oh you do that big, one

1364
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: big meal. You're one of those one big kill honey.

1365
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: It's not working for me. One big pizza, one big

1366
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: ice cream, one big wine. We're having one big wine. Okay,

1367
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: a big wine tonight, Roman. Who but listen, I drink

1368
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: my wine out of a flower vase. What of it? Okay?

1369
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: I didn't know goop dot com had a black division,

1370
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 1: right they do? Gwyn is this now? She's like, this

1371
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:59,679
Speaker 1: is what my vagina tastes like. It tastes like shard, guys,

1372
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:04,560
Speaker 1: which is what you would imagine it would taste like. No,

1373
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: but I think yeah. I bought the mini miniature hagging

1374
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: dozzes because I got to the point where I was like, okay, Lace,

1375
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: you can't eat a pint and a half of ice

1376
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: cream because I actually kind of did the same thing

1377
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: that you did. I'm trying to think if there's anything, Oh,

1378
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: you know what I did. I got peanut butter, honey,

1379
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: and I the chunky stop peanut butter. I microwaved it

1380
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 1: and then I put a little salt on top and

1381
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 1: I ate that with a spoon. Whoa wait, do you

1382
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: smoke weed fucking hot bowl of honey peanut butter? That's

1383
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 1: that fucking loud? God damn. Like when I was in college,

1384
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: my roommates in the kitchen or I'm like, hey, what's

1385
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: you're making? Man? Can with creativity? I will yield the

1386
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 1: rest of my time if it me just Lacey makes

1387
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: that right now and eats it and tells his dead

1388
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 1: ass with her chest that ship is delicious. It wasn't

1389
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: too hot. It was just like it was just nice

1390
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 1: and loose, so like you could take. Yeah, it was

1391
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: loose and the little salt to it and had the

1392
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: honey aspect. It was savor. It was sweet, it was

1393
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: and I ate it out of a coffee mug. Alright,

1394
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: what about your mama? Um? I yield my time? What

1395
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: the funk? Like? What like? I mean, like you know,

1396
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: first off, I think what's wild is that like pandemic

1397
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: hit first few weeks good, still working out and got

1398
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: a good schedule going. I'm out here like cooking. Uh,

1399
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: I make a pasta, make rice and make westh African

1400
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: feel like yasa and stuff like that. And I was

1401
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 1: doing that and then Ramadan hit, and Ramadan was like

1402
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: good for your bank account because you're like, you can't

1403
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 1: buy a lot, you can eat one today, so like

1404
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: that's good. But then it just clapped me because I

1405
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: just now I'm back to eating like one today or

1406
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 1: doing the snacking thing that you're talking about, and of

1407
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: course every everything is going on, you know, protests sort

1408
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: of this trauma. I'm having a stressful reaction and I'm

1409
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 1: not eating and I'm trying to remember to do that.

1410
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: But like but like I'm out here like eating like

1411
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 1: little like things from Modego's of watermelon, I got pretzels.

1412
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: I'll get like chips and salsa a lot, and I'll

1413
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: eat that. I did not eat one and a half

1414
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: pints of ice cream, but I keep buying the same

1415
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 1: strawberry cheesecake. Bed and Jerry's are woke allies in the

1416
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: dairy revolution, and like, yeah, I've been just like trying

1417
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: to drink a lot of water and stuff. Like most

1418
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: of my plants for eating have been budgetary as opposed

1419
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: to like, you know, I just need a snack. And

1420
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: even now I'm looking over here, I got my little

1421
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: snack like a little like nonperishable corner, and it's like

1422
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm I could I keep forgetting to eat, so I'm

1423
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: never like making a meal or as Lacey knows, I'll

1424
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 1: be like she'd be like, hey, what's going on, And

1425
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: it's like it's like did you eat and I'm like, huh,

1426
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: that's right. I didn't eat all day. And that's why

1427
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking, because you know you'll be tired. You'd be like,

1428
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: why am I tired, and you're like, huh. I love

1429
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: Syria ice cream. There's one from Cool House. There's just

1430
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 1: like cereal milk. I was as an ice cream and

1431
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: it's no, it's like just it's like as if it

1432
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: were the bottom of a bowl of frosted flakes, yo,

1433
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 1: except it's ice cream that I killed that book. I've

1434
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 1: faced a blunt and I ate those. That's when I

1435
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: have my pint and have for revolution. Okay, boy, that

1436
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: sounds busting. Yeah, if you can find anywhere that's doing that,

1437
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying try, because I've seen it a few places.

1438
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: I think that's like the honestly, the next wave of

1439
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: like cool flavors of like no, you know, fucking cereal

1440
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: milk though that with like a swirl of Syris. That's nostalgia.

1441
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: I one. I'm tired of reboots. I'm tired of everyone

1442
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: using samples on music. I just want like snacks like that.

1443
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: That's like one that's like ice cream, but it's like

1444
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: it's the paper from a cupcake that you get from

1445
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 1: a kid's birthday or sugar cookies that you used to

1446
01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 1: get holidays. You know what he wants to sit in

1447
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: on of Walmart. Yeah, it's just that it's literally just

1448
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: a box of sugar. But we need to go obscure,

1449
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: Like that's why I like cereal milk, cupcake, paper pizza,

1450
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: greasy paper plate. Like yeah, when you're kind of like,

1451
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm gonna dip my crust in this

1452
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: pool right here, I think I think I might just

1453
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, my elbows, little ask you might like listen,

1454
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 1: you know what, if you can't admit your faults, then

1455
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: who the funk are you? You know what I'm saying,

1456
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: Like sometimes you'll be seeing that pizza be greasy and

1457
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 1: you're like, you let me pat it down the paper talelt.

1458
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 1: People know that I'm trying to be healthier. But if

01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,360

1548
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: I love that people can like look at these big

1549
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: historical works of art and completely dismantled them with one

1550
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: cent of characters and it's so fucking funny to be Yeah,

1551
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 1: if I was being stabbed, I definitely wouldn't have any

1552
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:35,519

1555
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 1: listen to tweet. I like one is from at Hakeim Jefferson.

1556
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 1: This is about Junete says Juneteenth exists because slavery existed.

1557
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 1: People enslaved people, people bought and sold as property, parents

1558
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: separated from children, women raped, people brutally murdered, all in

1559
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 1: service of building empire. As we engage the smart reads

1560
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: about what today means, let us not forget this simple fact. Uh,

1561
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's just very powerful And that's what

1562
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 1: that's what it is, that's what we're talking. It's because

1563
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: of how fucked up everything was that we're saying, oh,

1564
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: we are no longer in bondage. Really just simple, but yes,

1565
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: please remember that that's that's what we're trying to escape.

1566
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: I think that people mistake emancipation with true liberation and

1567
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: freedom because we're not there yet. We're not there, and

1568
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: people also look, let us go and gave us an exact,

1569
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:38,640
Speaker 1: gave us all right, go over there and go. Do

1570
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: you work for free your whole life? But now we're

1571
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 1: Your freedom is your payment for this big gass house

1572
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: you live in. That's off the strength of all the crops.

1573
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: I was, I don't know, I can't. I can't read,

1574
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: but now you can. You can. Don't worry about you

1575
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 1: don't gotta read. No one gotta read the future. No

1576
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 1: one reads. Just what I'm saying. Yeah, Like on Friday's episode,

1577
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: that's the set can dairy dehumanization that black people have

1578
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 1: to go through, any colonized enslaved person has to go through.

1579
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Is not just the first part of enslavement where your

1580
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: body and bland and everything else is just desecrated. But

1581
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 1: then after the pursuit of dignity and liberation is the

1582
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: next fucking layer of trauma that people have to go through.

1583
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: That's what I think people need to realize. That's step

1584
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 1: two after bondage is then having to reclaim your humanity

1585
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: and that's what that process is not finished. Yeah, and

1586
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: I think that people just need to realize that, like

1587
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't like an unpaid internship, like it was like

1588
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 1: chattel slavery like niggas was to people, and then then

1589
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 1: they were three fifths of a person just to serve

1590
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 1: white voters and now like total college abolishing, burn it

1591
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: down like a target. Yeah. But yeah, I think people

1592
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: need to understand, like that's the truth of that sort

1593
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 1: of situation and we stop being so glib about it.

1594
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: And like when we see these slave movies, that's it

1595
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: can't just be like oh wow slave, like stop saying

1596
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:02,679
Speaker 1: you're aware of Slavery's aware of slavery like to happen,

Speaker 1: right out on. I think I want to do one

1619
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: from fellow Kutie, who is you know, the god m

1620
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 1: C of Afrobeat UM and his album Zombie is I

1621
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: think one of a fantastic protest album, UM and talking

1622
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 1: about the mindlessness of military forces to basically do whatever

1623
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 1: the bidding is of the hegemonic class, like zombies. You say,

1624
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: go there, go there, you shoot them, you shoot them? UM.

1625
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: And this is from that album. I think most people

1626
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: know Zombie, but another track on there that I really

1627
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: love is called mr Follow Follow, which is about the

1628
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 1: same thing, about just the mindless allegiance some people have

1629
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: the certain things doesn't that doesn't necessarily have to be

1630
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 1: to the military or whatever could be the ideology and

1631
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: things like that. And I think it's important that we

1632
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 1: we also make sure we are not mr follow follows

1633
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: or miss follow follows, or for non binary people, we're

1634
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: just not follow follow people. You know what I mean

1635
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 1: That we're cutting our own way and we have purpose

1636
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 1: and that purpose is equality and inclusive. Okay, well listen
