1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: I crushed my husband's dreams. What do I do? So 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: comfortable egg thirty nine twenty one says my twenty nine 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: female husband twenty eight male decided to try out stand 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: up come and he had an open mic nights. Go 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: Riley really wants to do stand up comedy? 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: I think I I think I do Okay. 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you just need to get up there. 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 2: Get up, thank you. 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: You just need to get on up there. I was 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: so excited because he's hilarious, supportive. I asked him if 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: he wanted to practice with me, but he said no, 12 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: he wanted it to be a surprise all. So I 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: finally got to watch him perform the other night. His 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: delivery was great. He's got good stage presence and just 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: getting up there. It all takes a lot of courage. 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: But his material it was one extended wiener joke. 17 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: Ah. Sometimes sometimes I could wiener joke could. 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, but all all of it, that's just it gets old. 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: I've seen like comedians go on for for like an 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: hour just talking about wiener jokes. 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, but are they funny? But some members of the 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: audience loved it. They were in the minority. Most of 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: the audience looked uncomfortable and slightly appalled. After his performance, 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: as we were walking home, he asked me did you 25 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: like it? And I said I didn't like his material 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: because it was basically one big wiener joke. I then 27 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: said that he had great stage presence, and I think 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: this could be the start of something awesome if he 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: worked on his material. 30 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: Okay, that is constructive criticism right now. Yeah. 31 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like maybe, like maybe the problem is 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: going to arise in how she delivered the information. But 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if she gave both, maybe she. 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: Could have been like, well she give like it's like 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: a soundich, you're great on stage. Maybe I should have 36 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: started with that and then blah blah blah blah blah. 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: I wish she should have been like, yeah, yeah, you 38 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: did so well. Your material was really bad, but like 39 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: you made me. 40 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: Laugh, Yeah exactly. 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe yeah, Maybe it's just the delivery, that's all 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: she Maybe she needed to work on her delivery. 43 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: I wish we had a voice memo of how she liked. 44 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: Yeah said it, yeah, because I think it does change. 45 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: If she was like harsh, then I'd be like, but 46 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: if she was just like, your material couldn't use some 47 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: work I think it didn't really appeal to the audience. 48 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: It depends that makes sense. 49 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: Yah yeah. Wait so if you went up there and 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 1: you was like your material wash but your stage. 51 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: Present was great, that's actually a compliment. I'd be like, okay, cool. 52 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: Okay, all right. Uh. He got upset and said that 53 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: I was a buzzkill. He said that everyone was laughing 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: besides me, and I pointed out that they weren't even 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: the majority of the crowd. Oh, that they weren't not 56 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: even the majority of the crowd was Oh, she's really 57 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: really digging into him. She's like, actually, no one was laughing. 58 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: He's really upset with me. He says he was really 59 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: nervous about doing it and was just proud of having 60 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: done it, but I made him feel ashamed. He's unhappy 61 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: now and says there's nothing I can do to fix it. Okay, Well, 62 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: perhaps like slightly dramatic, but I do think that she 63 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: could start with a little bit more support because it's 64 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: his first time. 65 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to I want to keep reading because 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: I have some thoughts, but I'm not sure if things 67 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: will happen. Yeah you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 68 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: I'm just thinking it might be an overnight thing and 69 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: he'll be fine. 70 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe, yeah, maybe he just needs a second. Can 71 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: you scroll up just a little bit. Yeah, jac says, 72 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't think she gave it to them to him 73 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: that bad, but it all comes down to the tone 74 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: of how she said it. I agreed, she could have 75 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: like what she said could have been really sweet, like 76 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: sweetly said, or it could have been kind of like Arah. 77 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: It depends. I told him that I was sorry for 78 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: being too critical. I've been before since I was five, 79 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: and my mom never gave me praise, only constructive criticism, 80 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: so I grew up thinking that caring about someone meant 81 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: telling them how they could improve. I should have told 82 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: him how proud I was first, before I told him 83 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: what I didn't like. 84 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 85 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: I think when you're a performer and you've been doing it, 86 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: like as a person who is a performer and has 87 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: been doing it also since I was five, you too, Yeah. 88 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: I've been a performer as well since I was five. 89 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: What have you been doing? Uh? 90 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: Christmas plays? 91 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: Nice? Nice? 92 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: That counts, Yeah, yeah it does. 93 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: But I think when you've been doing it for really long, 94 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: and someone who you care a lot about is doing 95 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: it for maybe the first time and is very new. 96 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: I think you do have to be gentle about how 97 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: you talk about it and how you give you I 98 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: think you can give critique that is helpful, but I 99 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: think it is you have to be very careful, especially 100 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: with new people, because like, if someone said that to me, 101 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: I would probably like hurt a little bit. But I 102 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: think that you know, I've been given a lot of 103 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: criticism and direction over my life that I don't think 104 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: it would be like this is the end of my career. Yeah, 105 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: but he's new, so I'd be like, you're so good, 106 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: Maybe like we can practice the material next time, Yeah, 107 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: something like that. Let's ye going. He says, I've ruined 108 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: his debut performance and nothing will change that. Is there 109 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: anything I can do? I told him I would work 110 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: on being less critical, but he says it doesn't fix 111 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: anything that already happened. Do I just have to accept 112 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: he's going to be mad at me for the next 113 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: however long? 114 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: All right, honestly, buddy, I don't think this career is 115 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 2: for You's gonna be real. 116 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. I mean, I again, I think that 117 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: she could have said it nicely, like much nicer, or 118 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: maybe she could have said it in a better way. 119 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: But stand up comedy is like one of the most 120 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: brutal forms of performance because it's so heavily relies on 121 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: the audience being on your side at all times. So yeah, 122 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: I mean she get used to it. Yeah, Oh yeah, 123 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: I think she can. I think she can baby step 124 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: him into this constructively. 125 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, being the wife. 126 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, just be a little bit. Yeah. 127 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: I am one curious to seeing how he would take 128 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: it from other people. 129 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, is this is it just because he 130 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: had to see some. 131 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: People not laughing at his jokes? Okay about it? 132 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I think right, I think maybe 133 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: she could have worded it better. And I think he's 134 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: being a little bit dramatic. That's my that's my take 135 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: on this. Jacquelin Shanard says, I think that if he 136 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: is reacting this way to her, how will he react 137 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: to a big shot telling him he sex? Yeah? I 138 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: think that's how Yeah, that was our point. It's yeah, 139 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: love Level says In this career, though, criticism is always 140 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: going to be there, sometimes even yelled at from the crowd. 141 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: Hackling is a huge part of it. Is freaking stand 142 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: up comedy. You have to be ready to, you know, 143 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: either ignore it or punch back. Yeah, but let's get 144 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: into some of these relevant comments commentary. One commenter says, 145 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: here's some constructive criticism for you. Don't lead with what 146 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: he did wrong and then followed up with what he 147 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: did well, And Opie says, no, you're right. When I 148 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: got criticism for my mom, there was never any what 149 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: I did well, So I never really learned how to 150 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: give good feedback to loved ones. And at my job, 151 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: people appreciate my bluntness, I specifically. 152 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: And she's a blunt person to you. 153 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, blunt people and me. 154 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: I don't know.

I 161 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: specifically sought out for feedback. Oh, I am specifically sought 162 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: out for feedback because I don't sugarcoat and just give 163 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: it to people straight. But my husband is a kind 164 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: and sensitive soul, and I love him so much. I 165 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: feel horrible that I heard him. This whole thing is 166 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: maybe step back and reflect on how I communicate with him.

Props to op. 168 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: Op was like, you know what, you guys are right. 169 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: I should have taken it in. This is something that 170 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: I grew up with and I need to reckon with 171 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: and grow and learn from it because I'm realizing that 172 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: my husband doesn't. This isn't an effective way to communicate 173 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: with my husband, and we need to like find a 174 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: better way for us. 175 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: I just I just love that having a fight because 176 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: he just made jokes. Yeah, she's like front of kind 177 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 2: of bad in front of like a hundred people. 178 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well probably not one hundred people. It's probably a 179 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: small open. You're right exactly at me. But let's read 180 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: this reply. Another Commenty says, here's another you're a grown woman. 181 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: Oh you're a grown adult. You aren't at work, you're 182 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: not your mother and didn't marry a child. Stop using 183 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: your mother and job as excuses. Accept accountability for your 184 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: actions and words. Treat your husband as a husband. I 185 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: think it sounds like the aggressive she literally did. She 186 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: was just saying this is how I was and why, 187 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna move and grow. Jesus read it Jesus. 188 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: Red pill, you gotta stay, go back. 189 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: Calm down, Jess. She literally said, I want to learn 190 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: from this razy risy. That's good to do. OP says, 191 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: I know I messed up. That's why I apologized. I 192 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: provided that information for context, not as an excuse. I 193 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: understand it doesn't justify my actions. And then, in response 194 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: to another person, OP, he continues, trying to understand why 195 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: you are the way you are is no not making excuses, 196 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: its introspection to try to understand why you did the 197 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: thing you did. If I messed up at work because 198 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: a process failed, I'd go back and examine the process 199 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: to figure out what went wrong and learn from it. 200 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be excusing the error. I'd be fixing it. 201 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: I can deal with people saying I was an a hole. 202 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I was, even if unintentionally. I've also agreed multiple times 203 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: that I've messed up. My only point in bringing up 204 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: my mother is that I realized that my idea what 205 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: support is was shaped by her, and her support wasn't 206 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,119 Speaker 1: actually support at all. Not an excuse, not a justification, 207 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: just a realization that there's an issue with my psyche 208 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: that I'm responsible for fixing. Yeah, ob just doing grey, 209 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: doing grey, I mean, yeah, big props, big props. And 210 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: then another commenture says best most well received constructive criticism. 211 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: Criticism means the sandwich method, a compliment, what could be 212 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: done better? Another compliment, which is what really suggested. I'm 213 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: surprised were so into the concept of constructive criticism, but 214 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: don't actually do it correctly. Geez, stop attacking this woman. 215 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: She's trying. But also he kind of sucks too. You 216 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: were the only one who didn't laugh. Sounds like he's 217 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: willing to bend reality to make you the main villain 218 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: of the story. Not much you can do about that, 219 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: And if I were you, I would also correct that 220 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: by pointing out most people didn't laugh. I love that 221 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: they were, like, well, you should do constructive criticism better. 222 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: But also shoot him in the foot and tell him 223 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: that no one was laughing if it may make him 224 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: hurt more. But I'm not going to enable some alternative 225 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: reality in which I was the bad guy just so 226 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: he feels better. But you should still have done the sandwich. 227 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: I would apologize for being harsh and give him time, 228 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: but you already apologized, so I guess give him time now. 229 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: And in the future take into account that sometimes people 230 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: just want a pat on the back, not constructive you know, criticism. 231 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: You know, some I view read it as like these 232 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: people have never been in relationships and they're giving advice. Yeah, 233 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: like like you know people that are like hey, people 234 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: that haven't like been in YouTube videos and they're like, hey, 235 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: you should do this or that, and it's sort of like, well, 236 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: you know, you know what I mean, Yeah, what it 237 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: feels like. 238 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like, I know nothing about this. Take all 239 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: of my advice as gospel. Yeah, so true. 240 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: I'm trying to Yeah, this is just like are the 241 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: is this all the relevant comments? Just like, yeah, black 242 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 2: and honor pretty much. 243 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna There's one importance tidbit in one of Op's 244 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: comments that I will read, which is where Op basically says, 245 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: if you scroll down to that's actually really insightful and helpful. 246 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: They're responding to one commenter and I would be kind 247 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: of talking about, uh uh, the gender roles in the relationship. 248 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: So I'll start from there. Are already knew we were 249 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: gender swapped in most aspects. He's a stay at home 250 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: parent and I'm the primary breadwinner. He's kind and nurturing, 251 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: I'm cold and ambitious. He's creative. I'm analytical. We've actually 252 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: discussed this issue before in regards to our child, because 253 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to be an emotionally unavailable mom. But 254 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: I had realized how my issues were already impacting communication 255 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: with my husband. Oh but I hadn't realized how my 256 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: issues were already impacting communication with my husband until this incident. 257 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: And then it kind of goes back and forth with 258 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: commenters ragging on Opie and I'll be trying to be like, 259 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: I just tried to help. Uh, but there is Ooh, 260 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: what about some op background an update? Oh, but we 261 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: can get into Ope's background before we get into this update. 262 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: Opie says, I'm not an expert in stand up comedy. 263 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: I did do improv comedy for over a decade and 264 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: sketch comedy for about the same amount of time, so 265 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a complete novice. But it is different, Yes 266 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: it is. My analysis was that because it was an 267 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: extended joke, basically different spins on the same joke. If 268 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: people don't buy into that initial joke, you've lost them 269 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: for the whole set. And when the initial joke is 270 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: a wiener joke and the crowd skews older. Realistically, you're 271 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: going to lose quite a few people right from the start, 272 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: I suggested. If he wants to keep it, coming up 273 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: with variations on the Wiener joke, or figuring out a 274 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: way to incorporate other jokes into the set, but keep 275 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: the Wiener joke as the running theme, just not the 276 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: sole joke. I stand by my criticism, I don't stand 277 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: by my delivery. 278 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I like it when when people like breaking up, 279 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: break it up, break up, like, it's not just one joke. 280 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you were saying, like I like when 281 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: people break up like in the relationship. 282 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: No, I would have my hat on. 283 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, break say that again. 284 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: Break up jokes, it's not just one big joke. 285 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have kind of a I like, yeah, 286 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: I think when I see stand up comedy, I like 287 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: when they have multiple jokes and then they have like 288 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: connection that they bring in again, so like, you know, 289 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: whatever the first was, they bring it back, and then 290 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: it's kind of ties everything together. Yeah. 291 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: True. 292 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, jac says, So she's been in the industry before, 293 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: wants to help her husband, but yet she's the problem. 294 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: I don't see that being that big of an issue, 295 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: as the Reddit comments are making it seem to be. Yeah, 296 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: I think it's I think they're all over blowing it. 297 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: I think, oh, he probably you know, could have said 298 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: it a lot nicer or in a softer way. But 299 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: people do that all the time. It's not the you know, 300 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: it's not relationship ending. They just need to talk about 301 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: how to you know, discuss criticism and stuff. 302 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: It's a learning experience people. Yeah, this is good. I 303 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 2: think this is going in a good direction. 304 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 305 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's a divorce. 306 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: Yes, this is over. No, I don't think they're gonna 307 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: get a divorce. I don't think they're anywhere near divorced 308 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: territory at all. 309 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's good, he's fine. 310 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: I think he was probably being a little drama dramatic, 311 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: and I thought I think she was being a little 312 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: bit blunt. They can work out. They can work this out. 313 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: It's fine. 314 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: Or will they?

Thank you to Yeah, thank you too. 338 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: Over that person was Matt Hattergall, Thank you for the 339 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: ten bucks. Even if she told him what he wanted 340 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: to hear, the husband would still get mad at someone 341 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: for not laughing at his jokes or even booing at him. Yeah, 342 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: there might have been a world where she didn't mention anything, 343 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: and he was like, oh, the crowd sucked tonight. They 344 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: were just you know, they were the worst crowd. And yeah, 345 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: you can't really blame the crowd. You have to kind 346 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: of figure out what in your set was going wrong. 347 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 2: And sometimes it is the crowd, like if you're ail 348 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: doing jokes for gen Z or gen Z doing jokes 349 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: for older people. 350 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you do get like less energetic crowds or 351 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: sometimes you know, there's not that many people there. But 352 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: I think you do have to be able to just accordingly, 353 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: especially in stand up snorting catnip. Thank you for the 354 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: five buck tip. Hey, okayopy, Hey, who who's that? Who's that? 355 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: I have no idea what you're talking. 356 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: I haven't heard that name in years. I've been a 357 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: long time listener now right towards the beginning, but I 358 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: be lurking into shadows anyway, first time actually making it 359 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: too a live and you guys have helped me through 360 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: so much. Thank you for everything you guys do. Hugs 361 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: from my family. That's sweet. 362 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: Well, I'm so glad that other channel could help you 363 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 2: do that. 364 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm so glad that that other channel. That's not us. 365 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're okay, story time. I don't know who those are. 366 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: But thank you for the very sweet message. We appreciate you. 367 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Yeah, okay, I gave my husband 368 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: time and space like some of you suggested, and after 369 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: a day he brought it up with me again. 370 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, all right. 371 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: He said my criticism was fair and helpful, but telling 372 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,239 Speaker 1: him what I did when I did, hurt him and 373 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: took away from an otherwise great night. Essentially, it wasn't 374 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: what I said, it was when I said it. Okay, okay, 375 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: all right, okay. I think I think, especially for a 376 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: creative thing like performance, you have to wait until someone asks, 377 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: which he kind of did, but wait until someone says, hey, 378 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 1: do you have any critique? Do you have any suggestions 379 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: of how I can improve? Because I think unwarranted criticism, 380 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: especially from a fellow performer, is like nah, it doesn't 381 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: always feel great because I've had people do that, like 382 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: in classes where they come up to me and they're like, hey, 383 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: can I give you a suggestion? I'm like, I didn't 384 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: actually ask for that, thank you that I'm like a much, 385 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: you're my teacher, or I'm asking you for you know, 386 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: advice or suggestion. Don't give it to me. 387 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 2: Unless it's slick and you're like Bruce Wayne, then you can. 388 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: Unless I don't even realize you're doing it. Where was I? Uh? 389 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: I apologized again and told him that I hoped he 390 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: would continue to do stand up because it seemed like 391 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: it made him happy. And that's some people there, And 392 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: that's some people there found and funny. I love that 393 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: some people there did find you actually funny. Yeah, Emphysisn's 394 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: We talked for a while after that about his set. 395 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: I used the crap sandwich technique y'all suggested, and he 396 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: said he agreed with and appreciated the feedback. So I 397 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: was like that, sorry, let me move it down. Okay, 398 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: he's still hurt because what I did will always cloud 399 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: the joy associated with his first stand up experience. And 400 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: he said he doesn't know if he wants me to 401 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: come see him if he does it again. 402 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: Oh well come on, dude, Oh. 403 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: Well maybe you know, maybe he just needs a second 404 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: to get his footing. And then he's like, Okay, once 405 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: I've kind of got the hang of it, then you 406 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: can come back. Yeah, which is fair. I don't think 407 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: that's necessarily like crazy. I think performing is sometimes a 408 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: very intimate thing, and it's scary to have people you 409 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: know see it, because when you don't know them, it's 410 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: like who cares? He's still hurt? Always said that. But overall, 411 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: U oh, And he said he doesn't know if he 412 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: wants me to come see him if he does it again, 413 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: which I agreed was fair, although I hope he does 414 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: eventually let me come. But overall, I think we're in 415 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: a good place. We're going on a date this weekend 416 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: and we're both really looking forward to it. Yeay kid. 417 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: As far as my mother, some of you seem to 418 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: think I was using her criticism of me to excuse 419 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: my behavior. I wasn't trying to explain that. In my 420 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: child brain, I interpreted my mom tearing me down as love, 421 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: because how else do you rationalize that as a young child, 422 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: and because that's how I learned to show love. That's 423 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: what I did to my husband. People told me I 424 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: should have been supportive, but I thought I was being 425 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: supportive because that's how it was modeled for me. It's 426 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: something I haven't confronted until I was lying awake trying 427 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: to figure out why I would hurt someone I love, 428 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: Now that I know, I asked my husband if he 429 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 1: had been if I had been overly critical of him before. 430 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: He said yes, but up until this point he had 431 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: shrugged it off and let it go. 432 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: Like we're having sex. 433 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: She's like, this sucks, but thank you dude. 434 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 2: Sorry, imagine like, no, never mind, I can't okay. I 435 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 2: was thinking about Gordon. 436 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: Ramsay, indiot, Sandwich, what are you? 437 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what I feel like she would. 438 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: Be like, Yeah, so she's like, crap, sandwich. It might 439 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: be though, Oh I told him to please call me 440 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: out on it going forward. It might be the way 441 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: I am right now, but it's not the way I 442 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: want to be, especially for a child. Now that I 443 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: figured out the root of the problem, I feel like 444 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: I have a better chance of changing myself. Hell yeah, 445 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: oh peace, look introspective. Oh pie's doing a little dig 446 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: in in the old psyche so that she can be 447 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: a better wife and a better mother, and we love that, 448 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: and just to be a better person in general. Great 449 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: great stuff. Others have said my husband doesn't have the 450 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: mentality to succeed in comedy because of his reaction to 451 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: my criticism. 452 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: Dude, it's just the first one. 453 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: It's the first one. Hell yeah, it's tough. Maybe maybe not. 454 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: I think he would have been receptive to it if 455 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: I had waited until the excitement and post performance high 456 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: had worn off. And getting negative feedback from your spouse 457 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: is different than random strangers. Lastly, more than a couple 458 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: of you suggested I gave him a BJS. He gets 459 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: over it. What's the reddit? Reddit? Stop? I'm not planning 460 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: on using spicy sleep to replace communication in our marriage. 461 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you shouldn't. 462 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, you shouldn't. I'm kind of surprised that works for anyone, 463 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: to be honest. 464 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 2: Dude, if she did that, though, anytime, anytime she would 465 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 2: talk mean to him, he'd get hard, get get it 466 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: turned on. 467 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: He just associates her being like blood yeah, and like 468 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: criticizing him, And he's like, no. 469 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 2: Stop stop talking me to me, stop make me come 470 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: you know, okay, okay, and you need to be more specific. 471 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,479 Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised that works for anyone to be honest. 472 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: To everyone who replied, thanks for your input. I feel 473 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: like I've learned a lot in the past forty eight hours, 474 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: and I'm slightly mortified that this has apparently been a 475 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: thing my husband has been suffering in silence with for 476 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: a while now. Hopefully this will help me be a 477 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: better partner going forward. Word and that is where that 478 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: story that is beautiful. 479 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 2: I feel like there's a rainbow. Okay, this is but 480 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: I just feel like it ended in a rainbow. This 481 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: is the only rainbow we have. 482 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: But that's the only rad there's no okay, story time we. 483 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 2: Actually they're kind of is. I can tell one. Growing 484 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: up playing basketball, my dad would give me like constriction criticism, 485 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 2: but he would always lead with like, I'm proud of 486 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: you. You did good, but yeah he didn't rebround, he didn't 487 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 2: box out, and then just stuff like that. 488 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: Well yeah, no, I mean, especially when you're learning, like 489 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: someone's teaching you something. I think it is is different Josephine. 490 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I think I think this story ended well. 491 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad that they communicated. I don't think there's any 492 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: issues in their marriage that are gonna, like, you know, 493 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: lead to divorce right now by any means. Yeah, I 494 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: think I think again, whenever you know, you see someone 495 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: like trying out a new hobby, I think it is 496 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: fair to kind of give them a grace period and 497 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: wait for them to ask for advice. Yeah, because they 498 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: know they're new. They presumably unless he's like wildly confident, 499 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 1: he knows that, you know, this is not the best 500 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: of the best stand up.

We thought people had sent in these photos 537 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: that they had photoshopped, and we were like, why is 538 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: everyone have photoshop?

If you think that's, 605 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, a beautiful part of her, then emphasize it. 606 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Carmel, dude, Yeah, come on, come on. 607 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: Uh, here's where I may be in a hole.

When I showed 612 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: her the touch up photos. She said that she looked 613 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: noticeably lighter in her skin tone and said that she 614 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: didn't really like it. Okay, okay, So before this photo 615 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: came out, they had already taken photos together and she 616 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: had expressed that she didn't like how she came out lighter. Ooh, 617 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: so this has already been talked about. And when that's 618 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: already been talked about, you go and learn how to 619 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,239 Speaker 1: and like meet her standards. You go and learn. You 620 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: go and talk to your teacher or whatever or whoever 621 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: you're learning from, and you look up, how do I 622 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,479 Speaker 1: take photos of black people? How do I take photos 623 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: of dark skinned people? Immediately? Immediately? If you plan on 624 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: taking more photos of her? Matd Hatter Girl says, this 625 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 1: actually happened to me. My best friend's ex girlfriend did this. 626 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: Every time we took photos. She would erase my freckles. 627 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 2: What wreckles? 628 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: That's so weird. 629 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: You like a filter on the and it took the 630 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 2: freckles aways are so fun, so. 631 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: Cute, that's very weird. I don't think I would ever 632 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: touch up unless someone asks. I mean, I don't do photography, 633 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: but I don't think if I did do photography, I 634 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,959 Speaker 1: would ever touch up. Someone's photo. Like, if I were 635 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: in a photo of someone, I don't think I would 636 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: ever like change or alter how they looked in this. 637 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, let me let me bake it off.

Oh 644 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: and pointed out that I always think she's beautiful, but 645 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: this photo is the most beautiful I've ever seen her. 646 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: Stop stop digging yourself into a grave. She just told 647 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: her that you that she's uncomfortable about how light she 648 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 1: looks at this photo, And you're like, well, actually, I 649 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: think you look more beautiful when you're lighter. 650 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 2: Yeah.

I feel so 660 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: bad for oh.

What do you mean you don't 666 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: obsess over what you can't change. That sounds like you 667 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 1: want to change it. Why are you phrasing these things 668 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: in the worst possible way? 669 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: How to not be racist? Class? 670 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, stop taking your photography glasses and go to like 671 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: like a racial dynamic class like sensitive, go to a 672 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: racial sensitivity course. Please please? Wow? Ah, this is this 673 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: is so bad. She started talking about how she was 674 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: discriminated against, and I quickly backtracked because I felt like 675 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: she was trying to say I might be racist. I 676 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: am not. 677 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 2: I have a black girlfriend. I'm not racist. 678 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: My girlfriend's a black girlfriend. I can't be racist. And 679 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: she's like, no, I'm your girlfriend that I'm telling you. 680 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: Oh am, Embarras says, this woman deserves way better. M boy, 681 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,919 Speaker 1: oh boy. She said that it happens even in black 682 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: communities that people with darker skin are treated badly colorism. Eh, 683 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: and that because she's biologically and only child, all her 684 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: siblings are lighter and it was a point of bullying 685 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: for her. I said, well, I'm not so I'm not 686 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: shaming you, dude. 687 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 2: Great response response. 688 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: What he's like, There's no way historically, I, as a 689 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: white person, could ever say anything racist to you. Oh boy, 690 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Kimberly Finess, stop defending yourself and use 691 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: your ear holes instead of talking out of your a hole. 692 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 2: Wow, brilliant, brilliant. 693 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: You need to write for this guy. You to write 694 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: all of his responses. Oh my god. Which my brain 695 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: did the stupid sentence salad after he said that, and 696 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: I knew I sounded stupid, but she just went quiet, 697 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:52,800 Speaker 1: You don't just sound stupid, you sound racist, and didn't 698 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,479 Speaker 1: really say much after that and didn't want to stay 699 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 1: over after. I wonder why she was a bit distant 700 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: distant for a day, and then texted the other night 701 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: that we need to talk. Essentially yeah, I don't have 702 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: high hopes for this relationship. But like the other the 703 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: girl and the other story, she could come back from 704 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: that easily. I don't. 705 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: I don't. 706 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how you come back 707 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: from this. Maybe he does. I don't know how a 708 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: miracle would have to He like realizes that he has 709 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: internalized all like this racist stuff, and he's like, actually, 710 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: I've done some self searching, soul searching, and I went 711 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: to these courses and I read all these books. Now 712 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm ready. 713 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 2: That's what you have to do to bring this back. 714 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm so sorry. Here do you go. She 715 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: was a bit distant for a day and then texted 716 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 1: the other night that we needed to talk. Essentially, I 717 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: assumed it's about this, but it feels so blown up 718 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: by now. Am I the a hole for this? Let's 719 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: get these call up, Let's go pull up the tear 720 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: him right the chair them. But Bart, actually I don't. 721 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't want the ahole, not the a whole poll. 722 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: I want do you think they'll stay together. 723 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 2: Or not? Whether or not? 724 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: No, but not whether or not they should. Do you 725 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: think they will? That's what I want to know, because 726 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: we don't know yet. We I think she should leave him, 727 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: but does she that's the question. You're going to use 728 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: your powers of deduction, powers of guessing, and we're going 729 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: to figure out what goes on. Miss A says, you 730 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: can not undo such things. I don't even believe he 731 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: even realizes what he's doing. That's the problem. I think 732 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: even if you don't realize what you're saying is wrong, 733 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: that is also an issue because you need to go and, 734 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: like Edge, actively educate yourself, especially when your partner is 735 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: a person of color. It's not on them to teach you. 736 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 1: It's on you when you enter that relationship. Well, you 737 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: should be doing it before, but especially when you enter 738 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,359 Speaker 1: a relationship. 739 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 2: Where you said educate Edge. That was funny. 740 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: What Oh my god. No, I'm like I'm talking. I'm like, oh, 741 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: they you should really communicate And he's like cool, Oh, 742 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: let's get into this update though. Where where we are 743 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,479 Speaker 1: on this poll? Oh? Actually I can see it. Wait, 744 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: stay together or not? The a hole? No? 745 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 2: Stay together? 746 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 1: Oh no? What? Okay? Yeah? So third ninety four percent 747 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: of you are saying they were they will not play together. Update. 748 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,280 Speaker 1: I have called her and spoke with her and thanks 749 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: to the three actually civil commenters and two messages who 750 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 1: shared some mature insights. I was able to see where 751 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: I went wrong. Okay, okay, we'll see if that's true. 752 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: I am on my way to speak with her in 753 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,760 Speaker 1: person to apologize properly. I have already picked up flowers 754 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: and wrote an apology, also in a card fingers crossed. 755 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: As I've said many times, I love her so much, 756 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 1: but I am human and screw up, so hopefully apologizing 757 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: and owning my mistake will be enough. I know I 758 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: don't deserve her, She's far out of my league in 759 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: every level, but I will work hard to try. It's 760 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: very disheartening to find so many people on here that 761 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 1: are so quick to throw insults in weighted terms and 762 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: wish for calamity upon another human being. I wish you 763 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: all peace someday, and I suggest you replace the hate 764 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: in your hearts with empathy, patience, and love.

And there are some comments and 769 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: an update. 770 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 2: Sorry for being. 771 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: He comes with flowers.

I hate it. I felt 780 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: like I was always discolored and made me feel gross. 781 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 1: Not cool to these comments. Just the way you are 782 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: wise words by Riley comments five star told Splash says, 783 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: I think you're being an a hole, but you don't 784 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: even realize it. You're saying that she's never looked more 785 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: beautiful in a photograph where you changed her skin color 786 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: is massively insulting. 787 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. 788 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 1: As Carl Scarlatia says, why the hell are you changing 789 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 1: your skin color? Opie says, I edited the photo and 790 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,399 Speaker 1: touched it up, like a billion people edit and touch 791 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: photos all over the world. A little aggressive. I thought 792 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: we were learning. I thought we had you know, taken 793 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 1: away some stuff. It doesn't seem so from that comment, 794 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: I think we just need to move on and you know, learn. 795 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: Wintered In says people edit photos to make something slash 796 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 1: someone look better in their opinion. By making your skin 797 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 1: tone lighter, you are directly telling her, I think you'd 798 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 1: look better if your skin was lighter, And you even 799 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: confirmed this by telling her that you don't ob judge 800 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: over something you can't change, So you really think she'd 801 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,479 Speaker 1: look better with lighter skin. That's what's insulting and makes 802 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 1: you sound not genuine at all when you say you 803 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: find her attractive. How you are not getting something so 804 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: incredibly obvious is beyond me. Opie says, I never said that. 805 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: I did say I liked the photo and that it's 806 00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: likely one of my favorites of her, but it was 807 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,760 Speaker 1: genuinely an innocent, you're so beautiful thing that was colored 808 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: with me being proud of sharpening my skills to produce 809 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: an image of her. I do very much tend to 810 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,320 Speaker 1: lean on the side of not obsessing about unchangeable things, 811 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 1: but I never meant it to elude that unchanging things 812 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 1: are bad things. Just don't even bring up unchanging things 813 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: I do hear what you're saying in the way it 814 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,800 Speaker 1: all sounded, and how realize and have realized how hurtful 815 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: that must have been coming from her boyfriend. So I 816 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: will apologize and try to do better. 817 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 2: Nice. 818 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: I want to see action because I'm getting a lot 819 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,240 Speaker 1: of talk. Uh and we haven't really seen we haven't. 820 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: We've heard you go to get flowers. Yeah, jac says 821 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 1: he literally did say that. Yeah, I'm not seeing the 822 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,720 Speaker 1: actionables quite yet. Yeah, Jace says he's not taking accountability. 823 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 1: We'll see. I still don't think that she should get 824 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,399 Speaker 1: back together this way with this man, because he doesn't 825 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: seem like the person who will actually like I don't know, 826 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: he doesn't seem very supportive of her or wanting to 827 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 1: kind of don't. You can never you know, understand like 828 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: a person of color if you're white, a person's like 829 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: a person of colors experience in the world, but you 830 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 1: can try and educate yourself about it. And I don't 831 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: think he's taken that step at all. So from what 832 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: we see, object Excuse eighty one oh five says, so, 833 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: as a fellow photographer and wife in an interracial marriage, 834 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: I will say you have to be very mindful here. 835 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: The only time I actually lighten my husband or kids 836 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: in any photo is when the lighting is too dark 837 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: to clearly make out their facial features, and I do 838 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: that very carefully. I am very pale in complexion, so 839 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: photos with all of us have a wide range of 840 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: complexions to manage. It can be a challenge to balance 841 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: the lighting between us so that everyone is equally visible 842 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,880 Speaker 1: and complexion tones are true. I have unintentionally lightened my 843 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: daughter too much when the photo itself is a bit money, 844 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 1: and then I have to go back and you do 845 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: it because I'll realize I went too far. I've done 846 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 1: more weddings of people of color than I have Caucasian 847 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,800 Speaker 1: and put a lot of effort to not unintentionally whitewash 848 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: the skin tone. It's obvious she does not want her 849 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: skin lighten in photos, so your primary goal should always 850 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:20,240 Speaker 1: be focused on keeping her skin tone true. My daughters 851 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 1: care a lot about having their skin tone accurately accurately represented. 852 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: The presets I tend to use vastly change the overall 853 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 1: tone of images, but work well on brown skin. But 854 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: I still go through them very carefully and make sure 855 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 1: that I have not adjusted anything that misrepresents the shade 856 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: of their skin. I also use my daughters as a 857 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 1: second set of eyes when i'm editing to make sure 858 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: I've accurately edited the skin tones, since it's easy to 859 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 1: kind of tip over into over editing. That's also what 860 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: he could have been doing. He could have asked her, 861 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 1: you know, hey, is this okay with you? Before I 862 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: post it? Yeah, it sounds like the way she sees 863 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: your edits is that you are persistently lightening her complexion 864 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: into her It's doing exactly what society has always done, 865 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 1: equates lighter with better, So you need to reevaluate your 866 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: perception here. The statement that you made regarding your favorite 867 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 1: photo of her, ever, is particularly harsh if it's a 868 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 1: lightened version of her complexion. Apologize to her, and maybe 869 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: it would be a good idea to sit down and 870 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: go through an edit with her and make note of 871 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: how to edit photos in a way that doesn't misrepresent 872 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: her skin tone and that she feels is an honest 873 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: and beautiful portrayal of her. What a great comment, What 874 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: a great comment. Yeah, Arden's obvious is great common person. 875 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: I really appreciate because I think that op is so 876 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 1: far in the a hole zone. All right, I think 877 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 1: Op's so far in the a hole zone. But I 878 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 1: really appreciate that this comment or took the time to 879 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: like kindly say, this is where you went wrong, this 880 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: is how you can apologize, and this is what you 881 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,440 Speaker 1: can do better. I think those are great comments to see. 882 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah it uh. I I don't know. 883 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 2: I just hope he learns from all those. 884 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think even if she breaks up with him, 885 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: I think I hope that he still comes away from 886 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 1: it with a new perspective and is realizing that he 887 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: wasn't the wrong. That's what I want. I want him 888 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: by the end of this, weather they're together or not, 889 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 1: I want him to realize that he made mistakes and 890 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: actively try to change his mindset. 891 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 2: Fact. 892 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: That's what I want. Thank you everyone who's saying bless you. 893 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: Opie responds thank you that I actually makes sense.

But this does make 898 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 1: But this does make more sense to me than the 899 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: random insults I've been reading and there is an update. 900 00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know.

But you know, he 978 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: should really really appreciate that she's one forgiving him and 979 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,919 Speaker 1: also taking the time to explain it to him when 980 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,239 Speaker 1: she does not need to. A kitty B says, And 981 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to POC, it's not just bullying, it 982 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 1: could be life threatening racism absolutely. I mean, you know, 983 00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,359 Speaker 1: people of color experience scenarios all the time where they 984 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 1: are worried about their lives just walk. You know, we 985 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 1: see this all the time, and so you have to 986 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: be so careful about how you talk about these issues 987 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 1: if you are a person, like a white person. I 988 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,480 Speaker 1: apologized and reiterated that she is the most beautiful, striking 989 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,719 Speaker 1: woman I have ever seen, and that I feel she 990 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 1: is out of my effing league a million times over. 991 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 1: But I did not show or appreciate that.
